Sailor Moon: Neo Angels, Chapter 6
"The D Team: The Truth of it all"
By Vodka-chan
NOTES: Once again I set my thoughts into this fic to bring you all
another chapter (I could really use some feedback though, what do you
people think of this?). Anyways, Sailor Moon characters are still
property of Naoko Takeuchi yadda yadda yadda. Angelical and demonic
characters are property of Moonlight Productions Inc., Mexico.

Divatox had successfully defeated Ion, but he knew that this was only
because Ion had run, not because he'd scared the Oreos out of him. Now,
alone in Tokyo, Divatox wondered, "Where the hell are the others!?"
***
The hospital.
All the girls were there, worried about Mamoru's health, but mostly
about Usagi's well being. The girl had asked them to leave her alone for
a while after the doctor told them that Mamoru was unstable and his
health was deteriorating as each minute went by. It was very likely that
he wasn't going to make it through the night, and if he did, he would
have the I.Q. of a two year-old child.
Either way, the news was not good.
Usagi was crying as she sat alone in the waiting room.
Elsewhere in the hospital, a young blond boy stepped in to the nurses'
area. One of the nurses looked at him in surprise and asked, "What are
you doing here? You're not supposed to be here."
She took him by the hand and walked him outside, where, without warning,
she collapsed on to the ground and was immediately helped by other
nurses as the boy walked away smiling.
"I am so very sorry," he was thinking. "But it was necessary for me to
know all of this..."
He walked along the halls, until he found the blond girl who was all
alone, crying her eyes out. She was wiping her tears away when someone
offered her water. "Eh?"
"Is bad, no?" the blond boy asked her, his Japanese was marked with a
Russian accent. "A nice young girl crying over something, that has to be
bad."
She took the water. "It had to happen," she said, almost not thinking
her words. "It was NEVER meant to be, and I knew that and he did also...
then... why?"
"Love, child, is NEVER meant to be," he said, his blue eyes burning
themselves deep into her soul. "Love is an illusion for a lonely heart."
"I guess so."
"But you must go on. If not, then why all of the struggle?"
She looked at him, surprised.
"I know all about you, Tsukino Usagi. I know that you are also Sailor
Moon, defender of justice and love. I also know that you are to be Neo
Queen Serenity and that you are from moon. I know that now you think
that this struggle is not fair, not to you or to your friends, but that
is life, and accept it we must. If not, why live? Your friends are
strong girls, all of them, strong senshi. If you think nothing matters
because Endymion is not awake, then you are truly a killer. A murderer."
The blond boy got up.
Usagi was stunned. "Wh... Who are you?!"
"That does not matter. Nothing matters, remember? It does not matter at
all if you fight for something and, when the battle gets tough, you stop
and decide to call quits. Now, THAT is not fair, is it?"
"I... I don't understand! Why this!?"
"You don't have to understand. An enemy is loose. Not just in Tokyo, but
the entire galaxy. You have to stop crying and start fighting. If not
for you, then for lover that is here in this room."
"No..." she said, falling to her knees as tears welled in her eyes.
"I... I don't want to fight any more."
"I pity you, you are truly pathetic. I thought that the Moon princess
was strong, but now I don't understand why an angel as important as....
as him... could love you... I thought that the Moon Senshi was a strong
girl who fought for a better future for the people she loved, instead I
find this poor excuse for a senshi..."
"You don't know anything!" She shouted. "You can't possibly expect me to
fight if all I've fought for is gone!"
"Is he dead?"
"What?"
"I asked you if he is dead?"
"No..."
"Then all is not gone."
The young man turned and started walking away.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" Usagi shouted.
The young man stopped and looked at her over his shoulders. "I am
warrior. I am not giving up." In that moment, Usagi could clearly see
the large wings protruding from the boy's back and that magical glow
around him. He was an angel.
"You're an angel?!" she muttered. The young man again started walking as
Usagi got up. "I will fight!" she shouted.
The angel stopped. "Then, you must come with me... Sailor Moon."

All the others had gathered at Rei's. They were accompanied by Divatox
and Kat-Wa.
When Haruka and Michiru arrived, Divatox broke the silence speaking
passable Japanese, though with a heavy Irish accent. "Nice place ye got
here, girl."
"Divatox, we didn't came here to discuss interior decorating." Kat-Wa
said. "Now, as for what DID all come here about. My name is Kat-Wa. I am
the Supreme Angel of Time."
"And I am Divatox, the Supreme Angel o' War."
The girls were listening, but they couldn't believe what they were
hearing, even though the wings spoke volumes.
Setsuna smiled. "I almost didn't recognize you, Katsy."
"Set, love, you are still the decent one. Anyway, the thing that brings
us here is another angel named Nocturnal."
"That's right, lass. He's the Supreme Angel o' The Night and he's also
the Leader of the Angelical Forces against the darkness in The Abyss..."
"And he's the Second Balance of the Universe. Basically this means if he
dies, we all die."
"Sounds like a bad movie to me," Haruka said not believing a word of the
proffered explanation. She got up and added angrily, "We are here to
protect our princess against all those who enter the solar system with
harmful intent. We will not cooperate with this..."
Divatox got up as fast as lightning, took Haruka by the neck, and
slammed her against the wall.
The others screamed in fright.
"Haruka!" cried Michiru.
"Let her go!" both cats shouted, standing up.
"Divatox!" shouted Kat-Wa.
"Take it outside!" shouted Rei.
"Not in the face!" shouted Makoto.
"Make your bets, ladies and gentlemen!" shouted Minako.
Haruka looked at Divatox, aching. The angel was holding her tightly, and
his eyes were glowing an electric blue color.
"Listen to me, bub!" he said. "Let's make one thing crystal clear:
either ye help or yer head will be separated form yer body and ye won't
be any help t' yer friends. Now, what's it going to be?"
"Release her!" Kat-Wa commanded.
Divatox grudgingly obeyed.
Haruka coughed as Michiru went to her side to help her stand.
"Why you did that?!" Artemis shouted to Divatox. "I thought you where
our allies!"
"I'm afraid that Divatox is right." Kat-Wa replied serenely. "We can't
allow Aramis to possess the great power you girls have. I'm afraid that
if you don't cooperate, we will have to kill you."
"You... will?" Hotaru whispered.
"Aye, we will, lassie," Divatox replied. "An' believe me, ladies, 'ye
don't mess with the bitch' is an old saying back home."
"So..." Haruka said. "We have no choice, do we?"
Suddenly, Usagi entered followed by the blond boy she met at the
hospital. "Minna... We've got a new battle ahead. We must prepare! This
is Alexhi."
"An old pal," Divatox said with a grin.
Kat-Wa looked worried. "If they can't make it, Gods help us all."

Ryouga was heading back toward the temple after a long walk. He had gone
to the hospital without knowing why and he also knew that he had seen
Mamoru on the bed. He knew that there was something wrong with that
picture. "He's not suppose to be there," he thought. "He's suppose to
be with her, the silver haired one, with Serenity."
Serenity.
The name itself drove him to desperation, anguish, and heartache. It
meant something to him, but he didn't know what that SOMETHING was at
all...
Or maybe he did...
Was it... love?
"ANGEL!!"
He barely had time to jump away from the powerful energy beam that
destroyed the street where he was walking. He got up and turned to the
sky. A very angry Ion was preparing another beam.
"COLOR DRAGON SMASH!!" the demon shouted, releasing the energy towards
Ryouga.
"What the...?!"
"WINE BLOCK! UP!"
A curtain of red wine went up and blocked Ion's attack. The angelic
demon looked surprised, the same surprise that turned to rage seconds
later. "YOU!!!"
Ryouga turned as the wall receded. There was another angel dressed in
sports gear, all coloured pink. This new arrival was already prepared to
attack again should it prove necessary. [I've missed ya, Ion baby,] he
said, smiling. [Why don't ya call me any more, sugar?]
"DAMN YOU, DANKA! BURN IN HELL!!" Then, joining his hands as he pointed
to the sky, he shouted, "DRAGON SLAYER!" The lightning hit his open
hands and an energy flow surrounded him. He then released the energy,
which went against his opponents in the shape of a dragon.
Ion's attack was more powerful this time, but just then, as Danka
screamed "WINE BLOCK! UP!!" another voice joined his.
"MOON WALL! AROUND!" the second voice shouted.
The wine curtain surrounded them and turned white, like the glow of
moonlight.
Danka looked at Ryouga in surprise. The boy had that crescent moon in
his forehead. "Why you lil' devil," he muttered, then quickly corrected,
"Nice to see you too, alive, that is." "All right!" Danka continued with
a laugh. "Let's get dis thing started!"
"Yeah!" The wall went down again, and, looking at Ion with a devilish
spark in his eyes, Nocturnal added, "Let's get back to basics..."
