Love and Jealousy - Chapter 3: A New Enemy (PG13) By: Melody
(moonwalk85@hotmail.com)

Jumping out of the broken window, Serena, who was now Sailormoon, cringed
as she came closer to the monster. It's pale gray face and black eyes turned
toward her, making her shriek in disgust. A sly grin formed on it's crumpled
lips as it turned it's body toward her, ready to charge. It's white hair
swirled around in the wind as it bared it's long fangs which were dripping
with slime. From just one look at it, you could already tell that it was
dangerous. It's looks alone could already scare you.

Taking one step back, Sailormoon clenched her fists together, getting
ready for an attack. Holding her breath, she narrowed her eyes at the
creature and bit her lower lip, trying to calm it down. Kicking the dust
behind her, she ran at full speed heading straight for the thing. She was
expecting to jump on it and use one of her attacks on it and kill it on her
own. But that didn't happen. The good thing is that she got to jump on it
and hold it's head so that she choked it. But it simply grinned at her and
threw right off it's slimy body. It happened so fast that it took her a
moment to realize what just happened. The first thing she knew was being on
the monster's slippery body then the next thing she knew, she was on the
sidewalk, sitting on her aching bum.

Looking down at her awkward position, she blinked once and looked up, only
to find a long tentacle heading straight for her. Shrieking, she tried to
get up but feel down again since her bum didn't seem quite ready for her to
stand. So she crawled as fast as she could out of the tentacle's way,
missing it by an inch. Falling on her bum again, she whimpered in pain and
extended a hand to nurse her black and blue bum. But she didn't get to do
that. The tentacle was up again, ready for another attack.

The monster raised it's tentacles the way a tarantula would if it were to
attack. But in Sailormoon's eyes, it seemed more like a scorpion's tail
which was dripping with slimy venom.
It headed straight for at her an even faster speed, ready to dive straight
for her tiny body.

Screaming, she moved backwards, still in a sitting position. She kept on
backing away until she felt herself bump into a pole, indicating that there
was no more room for her to move. Looking nervously to her side, she found
slimy goo on the ground that could get her stuck the moment she stepped on
it, just like a spider's web. And on the other side, she found nothing
except a few people which happened to be in the way. If she was going to
move, there wasn't anymore time. Those people would just slow down her
progress and if she moved then her feet would get hit by the huge tentacle.
All she could do was shield her face and close her eyes, praying for the
scouts or her masked protector to arrive.

As if an answer to her prayer, a rose struck the monster's tentacle
causing it to fall to the ground in front of Sailormoon. Slowly looking up,
her eyes glanced at the monster which seemed mad and dumb founded all
together. Her eyes scanned the buildings and posts for any sigh of a black
cape and domino mask but found nothing. Instead, she found a large tentacle
in front of her, right between her legs and about an inch away from her
vagina.

Her eyes widened as she suddenly stood up, her back shaking against the
cold metal of the post.
Her bum didn't really seem to hurt anymore since she knew that if that rose
hadn't struck the monster, then something else close to her bum would hurt
even more. Just the thought of it made her want to puke.

Her hands grasped the pole as she looked up to see the angry face of the
monster, it's eyes focused on something else. Looking up in the direction
the monster was looking at, Sialormoon's eyes focused on a building behind
her, where a masked man in a cape stood. His black bangs fell from his top
hat as he swiftly jumped down. Ending up in front of her, Tuxedo Mask
extended one arm while holding his cape, covering Sailormoon with the black
material.

Sailormoon watched him with hearts in her eyes, her face as red as a
tomato. " Tuxedo Mask, you saved me again. " She said, her voice dreamy and
low. Tuxedo Mask turned to face her and gave a reasurring smile before
turning back to the glaring monster. " Innocent humans are not supposed to
be tolerated in this way. Humans are not puppets to be played around with.
How dare you toss them around as if they were a bunch of your little toys!
I, Tuxedo Mask, won't allow it! " He stated firmly before jumping up into
the air and striking the monster with another rose.

The creature glared at him with sudden rage, it's claws beggining to grow
longer. It's white hair dived straight for him, only to have him dodge ever
single one of them. However, one managed to slash him across his right side
as he barely missed it. Falling to the ground, Tuxedo Mask grabbed his side,
his white gloves turning red with his blood. He gave a slight moan in pain
before collapsing on the ground.

Sailormoon's eyes widened in terror at the sight of her masked protector
get hurt. Tears seemed to form within her eyes but that what simply replaced
by sudden anger. Hurting him only fueled her hatred toward the monster as
she glared at it, anger burning in her eyes.
Clenching her fists together, she charged at it with her tiara, sending part
of it's arm flying across the street. (AN: Pretty morbid, isn't it?)

The monster seemed dumbfounded at first, it's black eyes glued on it's
detached arm. Blinking twice, it's eyes instantly narrowed in Sailormoon's
direction, hatred evident. It's shoulder, which was the only part left of
it's broken arm, began to quiver, sending a few scraps of it's bloody skin
and fats flying everywhere. Sailormoon could only watch in horor at the
flying body parts, wondering what on earth she just did.

The monster's skin began to crumple, the pale gray color turning into a
sickening olive green that had a mustard tint to it. It reminded Sailormoon
of animal droppings, though she wasn't sure if there even was a kind of
animal with droppings as gross as the color of the monster's skin.
Bones began to stick out from it's already thin cheeks and it's teeth seemed
to stick out from it's crippled lips. Fangs began to grow sharper while
other parts remained hollow, with no teeth to fill it in. As if the monster
wasn't ugly enough, it turned even worse.

Tentacles shot out of it's shoulder to replace it's missing arm. Pieces of
meat and flesh burst out like the fireworks of Independance Day, except this
one had a blood shower with it.
(AN: Imagine sharp vines popping out of the ground and the soil flies
everywhere. This is worse.)

Sailormoon's hand shook as she grasped her thoat, a disgusted look on her
face. Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea cutting it's arm off. But what was
she to do? Just sit there and let the thing kill her? She was just lucky
that her tiara didn't end up slicing the thing's head or she wouldn't have
to take a shower anymore that evening. The creature was ugly enough and she
couldn't exactly picutre five hundred heads popping out of it's neck. That
was just too gross.
But unfortunatly, the idea of a hundred heads did happen as the monster's
hand shot up, grabbing it's own hair and pulling it's own head off. There
was no need for anymore slicing.

Sailormoon felt her the insides of her stomach quiver as another wave of
nausea hit her. Her throat felt like it could release the breakfast she ate
that morning and it took almost all her strength not to puke. Instead, she
fell to her knees, trying to hold back the sickening feeling.

Her vision blurred slightly as she tried to shake all the disgusting
thoughts running through her head away. Little did she know that the monster
was moving in, taking this as an opportunity to attack the young blonde.
It's tentacles glided across the street to the helpless heroine as it raised
one tentacle to slice her in half. It raised the sharp object above her,
ready for a kill. Sailormoon could see the sharp object shine in the
sunlight through the cornor of her eye but all she could do was stay
motionless. He head started pounding and a back stabbing pain shot through
her veins. She felt like dying at the intense pain. All she could do was
pray. Pray for a miracle. Pray that if she died then at least the others
would be safe. Pray for the scouts to come to her rescue.......

" Jupiter Thunder Cloud Zap! "

A glowing disk of electricity flew past Sailormoon, heading straight for the
tentacle, slicing it in two.

" Mercury Ice Bubbles Blast! "

A bunch of bubbles surrounded the monster, turning the air into thick fog,
making it impossible to see.

" Venus Love Chain Encircle! " A glowing chain appeared out of the fog,
wrapping itself around the monster's neck.

" Mars Celestial Fire Ignite! "

A ball of fire headed shot through the fog toward the monster causing all
it's tentacles to burn and fall to the ground.

The fog began to clear up, allowing Sailormoon to see the hundreds of dead
tentacles, lying all around her. Her eyes grew wide as her head shot up to
face the dumbstruck creature. It's eyes were wide in terror as if it just
lost it's babies. But pure anger was plastered on it's face. It seemed
helpless and couldn't seem to do anything but stare at it's fallen parts.
Looking up, Sailormoon's eyes focused on the scouts who were all looking at
her, worried expression on their faces.

Turning to her side, Sailormoon found Sailorvenus beside her, helping her
to her feet. In front of her was Sailorjupiter who had her fists clecnched
at her sides, ready to punch anything that dared hurt Sailormoon. Beside her
was Sailormercury who was furiously typing at her mini computer's keys.
Sailormars stood beside her, a worried yet annoyed look on her face.
Sailormoon knew that she was going to yell at her again for being such a
klutz and for not doing anything. But instead, Sailormars simply sighed
before turning toward her. " Finish it off, Sailormoon. "

She wasn't exactly sure if she heard mars right, but at that moment, she
didn't care. She might as well take advantage of this opportunity to have
mars not yell and to kill the monster before it regained full consciousness
of what just happened. The wave of nausea disappeared and her trembling
knees finally calmed down. It's as if nothing happened at all. Standing up,
Sailormoon took her sceptor and aimed it at the monster, chanting, " Moon
Sceptor Elimination! "

A wave of pink color flew from the object toward heading straight for the
monster, enevloping it in pink dust, eliminating it completely. The monster
gave one last scream before disappearing into nothing.

Weakness took over again but Sailormoon was too happy to notice the usual
effect of using her powers. She was proud of defeating the monster and she
felt lighter since she didn't hear any of Rei's comments to burden her. But
despite the rush of happiness soared within her, she nearly forgot one
little detail....Tuxedo Mask! Turning around, she was about to run in Tuxedo
Mask's direction until she felt something pull her leg, causing her to fall
on her knees. The scouts shrieked as they ran toward her but were thrown
away as the fallen tentacles on the ground began to move, wrapping
themselves around the scouts.

Sailormoon's eyes widened in terror as she found the biggest of the
tentacles, the one she sliced, wrapped around her leg and making it's way up
her thighs. The blasted things were alive! Instantly getting up, she
frantically shook her leg, trying to get it off but it hung onto her like a
leech. The tentacle began to glow a bright green as it began draining her
energy, sucking the very life out of her.

Falling to her knees, she gasped for air as the feeling of weakness came
back again. The scouts seemed to have trouble breathing as well and two of
them were already laying on their backs. She had to do something. But what?
She was helpess and was under the same condition as them. She kept thinking
that someone would save her, like they always do. But everytime this thought
came into her mind, she remembered that the scouts were trapped as well and
Tuxedo Mask was still hurt. Her head suddenly shot up at the thought of him.
Her eyes scanned the area where he had fallen, but he was wasn't there.
Tuxedo Mask! Where was he?

A flash of red sliced through the air, landing on the tentacle wrapped
around her leg, paralyzing it completely. The long object quivered as the
energy it had stolen began to seep out of it, going back to it's owners.
Some of the people had revived as soon as they're energy was replaced and
Sailormoon felt her strength comming back.

As soon as all the energy within it was released, it dropped to the
ground, dead. As soon as this happened, all the other tentacles dropped to
the ground as well, releasing the energy they took before dying. When all of
them died, every single tentacle disappeared and everything seemed back to
normal. But it hardly was.

The scouts stood up, searching around for their savior. But Sailormoon's
eyes remained on the rose. He was gone again. And she wasn't able to thank
him again. He never gave her the chance to say something for he would always
disappear after a battle. It's as if he just appeared, threw a rose, then
left. He didn't even seem to stay and check if Sailormoon or the scouts were
fine. He didn't seem to care. This simply dropped all her hopes down.

A thought flashed through her mind as her eyes suddenly widened. Darien!
Detransforming, Serena ran toward the arcade, her eyes frantically searching
for Darien. She found him on his knees, still at the same spot she had left
him. Running toward him, she helped him up but didn't get to do much since
he seemed to stand up on his own, simply allowing her to touch his body
though she didn't feel his weight. She knew he stood up on his own. He
didn't need her help. But then again....the whole world did.

" Darien, are you alright? " She asked with concerned eyes. Darien smiled
weakly and nodded before suddenly grasping his right side with his hand.
Serena's eyes moved down to his side where she found a long gash that seemed
to be bleeding a lot. " Darien?! You're hurt. Wha-what happened to you? "

" Don't worry about it, Serena. It's just probably from the glass around
me. I must have hit one when I rolled over and got on my knees. It's no big
deal. " He, replied starting to walk away. She expected him to say something
or ask if she was hurt or not, but he didn't. He just muttered a thank you
and left. Knitting her brows together, she crossed her arms and pouted. She
wanted to ask him why he saved her or if there was anything she could do to
help him with his wound but he didn't even give her the chance to speak. He
was just like Tuxedo......

Shaking her head, she cleared her thoughts and turned around to look at
the mess. But her thoughts remained somewhere else. He couldn't be Tuxedo
Mask. Even if they were alike in a lot of ways it seemed impossible for an
arrogant man like him to be Tuxedo Mask. But then again....it seemed
impossible as well for a young crybaby to be Sailormoon......

Shaking her head again, she turned to face the girls who came running in,
their faces questioning her. Serena simply sighed and looked onto the
street. Two men had saved her twice and both didn't even give her a chance
to thank them. Her life just keeps getting wierder everyday. And with each
passing minute, she often dreaded what would come the next day....

" Earth to Serena! Come in, Serena! Did you even hear what Amy said? "
Rei's voice cut through her thoughts as she turned around to face the girls.
Amy looked worried and so did the rest of them, except for Rei who seemed a
little annoyed. " So, did you have a fun trip in space? Cause we're taking
another one. We're going to the park since there are too many people here
and Amy has to 'repeat' what she just said. "

Serena blinked, not exactly comprehending what she just heard. " Why
should she repeat it? "
She asked. But the look on Rei's face clearly told her. A slight blush crept
on her cheeks as they headed for the park. " Sorry, guys. I didn't really
hear what you said." Rei frowned. " Duh, you didn't! Amy just explained
everything she found out about the new monster and you weren't paying
attention. " Serena blinked again. " We have a new monster? "

The girls groaned. " Let's just wait until we get to the park, shall we? "
