Previous Chapter

Tenshi, Nari, Niomi,Tama and all their cats were at Tenshi's house. As usual Niomi was looking for some food to eat. Tama ,of course, was trying to make her stop especially because Niomi had just wolfed down one of the Hoshino's econo-size chip bags.

"Heh, heh, heh, come on you guys this is supposed to be a meeting!" Tenshi said after a while. Niomi and Tama sat at attention.

For a moment there was silence until Nari asked,"What were we supposed to talk about?" None of the humans could answer.

The cats gave Miika a look. "Oh yes," Miika cleared her throat," we wanted to set up a base to watch out for the Neo-Negaverse." There were many suggestions, but most of them were turned down because of limited access or location.

Niomi had been quiet the whole time, there was a thoughtful look on her face, "How about here?" She pulled out a newspaper clipping, "It's a place that I wanted to go anyway!" The article was about a "Stone Park".

"'Stone Park'? What's that?" asked Tenshi looking at the clipping.

Niomi smiled," It's like a park, but it has stone statues all along the walkways. They're supposed to be very realistic."

"Sounds creepy." Nari commented. Tenshi and Tama nodded.

"Well it is in a central location, and the odd thing is that it's open all day." Estelle offered.

"Also it's free." Astro added.

Tenshi sighed,"Well, I guess that's it."

"Hey, good job Niomi!" Nari encouraged her.

"Yeah! Cool." Tama said.

"My Queen I'm so sorry! Please do not be angry!" Patchouli cried, she was still a bit alive.

The Queen glared at the cowering monster, "You are weak Patchouli. It is what is best."

"No, please my Queen! No!"

A firey light was sent into Patchouli's chest. It widened until it was outside her. The light became opaque, but from inside a noise like bubblegum snaping only louder could still be heard on the outside. The light faded and passed. Patchouli looked like she had been gutted like a fish. Black blood bubbled around her it looked like oil that had been set on fire. The Queen smiled, while all her subjects around her tried to cover up horrified faces.

The Queen looked up,"Platinum Rose, my most loyal subject..... are you ready?"

Platinum Rose came from the inside of the crowd. She crossed her fist over her chest," Yes my Queen, I am ready."

"Good, now go!" Platinum Rose dissapeared, the Queen stared at Patchouli's remains, "Will someone clean that up?!"

"I thought this place would be creepy...." Nari grumbled with a disgusted look on his face.

"They are so real." Tama was staring at one, "So familliar....." she wispered.

"What's wrong Tama?" Tenshi walked over and looked from the statue to Tama, again and again.

Tama pointed at the detail of the statue's face, "She seems so familliar, and look," Tama indicated the clothes, "the outfit, it's our school uniform."

"Oh how weird. Maybe this is really supposed to be a horror park?"

Nari bit his lip, he looked a bit shaken, "Um hey look at this one." They turned. "Notice anything?"

Niomi piped in, "Looks like Brian! Oh no!"

Tenshi and Tama tried to calm them down. "Now wait they could have been modeled after people you know," Tama began.

"Yeah," Tenshi added," just call Brian and see!"

Niomi nodded. She and Nari went over to the pay phone. "He's not there! He hasn't been there in days!" Niomi looked like she was going to cry.

"ATTENTION PLEASE!" A voice on the loudspeaker boomed over the park," WE WILL BE HOLDING AN OFFICAL MEET THE MAKER ASSEMBLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK!" They looked at each other knowing that each was thinking the same. They ran to the middle of the park. When they got there they began to look around for seats. They seperated and took seats.

Everyone became silent as a blond haired woman wearing her hair on two buns came onto the stage,"Hi everyone! My name is Suzanne. Thank you for coming to the Official Meet the Maker Assembly, with lots of great special effects to go with it. To start off, I'll show you the first steps of the process of making these extra realistic statues. There will be a brief intermission, and then I'll continue with the last few steps, and then I'll be talking a little about what other things I do for a living, and such." Suzanne smiled devilishly, "Ready? Okay!" She held a fist in the air and shouted,"Rose Stone Magic!"

Tenshi's eyes went wide. It's Platinum Rose! She looked at her friends. What do I do?! Tenshi got their attention and motioned for them to hide. They each nodded and ducked under the seats. Platinum Rose held up a small stone statue, "Now we take a little enegry from stupid humans!" The statue began to suck up all the people's energy.

"Sun FIERY ILLUSIONS!" A row of small stone statues on the stage was burned to oblivion. Platinum Rose turned the statue to the Celestials, a green light formed around it and the statue began to grow in vibrations. The Statue moved and held up her open hand. Tiny stone statues hit Sailor Sun, they stuck to her like parasites. They began to grow with a green light and absorbed her energy. Sun fell over, the statues let go.

"Sun!" Comet looked like she was going to cry. The monster began to attack the others. We'll never be able to fight Platinum Rose at this rate.....

"Hey! Platinum Rose long time no see!" Sailor Earth shouted from the curtin holder. She jumped down.

Platinum Rose smiled with amusement,"Hi Sailor Earth!"

"Y'know what? If you call off the monster then we'll forget this ever happened......."

Platinum Rose thought for a moment," Nah. Queen Beryl would have a hissy fit if I did."

"Oh that's to bad. Well alright." Sailor Earth began to walk away.

Then she whirled around on her toe and held an outstreched arm to Platinum Rose. Her hand was in a fist. From nowhere a handle appeared in her fist and then a blade. The blade cut into a surprised Platinum Rose's shoulder. A cupfull of blood shot out of her shoulder.

"Ah!" Platinum Rose gasped then looked menicingly at Sailor Earth, who was smiling, "You bitch."

"Nuh-uh, you didn't want to take up my offer, now you're going to pay." Earth pulled out the sword. Platinum Rose her back rounded held her shoulder. "Oh baby does it hurt?" Earth asked faking a sorrowful look. "Here I'll make it so you forget that pain." She stabbed her in the thigh.

"Stone Rose! Attack this good-doer bitch!" Platinum Rose ordered her hate overcoming her rational thought, if she had any.

Sailor Earth smiled, "I'm so scared." She tried to hold a scared face, but failed purposely. Earth backed up letting the monster follow. She looked at Sailor Constellation the only one up now, signaling her to do something.

Constellation nodded, "Celestial Musical Strike!" The attack was not aimed at the monster, but instead at Platinum Rose. Platinum Rose was too busy watching her 'revenge' on Sailor Earth that she did not notice the attack heading her way, when she finally did she realized her error. She had forgotten about Sailor Constellation. Platinum Rose dissapeared, screaming, into a black hole. Stone Rose dissapeared into a pile of dust which was blown away by wind. The people got their energy back. The dust in the wind touched every statue, and the stone wore away to reveal a confused person.

"HA! That's what you get when revenge rules! See ya later P.R....." Earth smiled, then walked over to Constellation, "Okay so maybe you aren't good-for- nothing."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"Until next time childeren!" Sailor Earth dissapeared. Later the younger Celestials in real form were eating pizza in a Tokyo version of 'Little Italy'.

"This is the only place to get pizza!" Niomi cheered her mouth full of pizza.

Tama swallowed, "Niomi you are going to choke if you talk with your mouth full again."

"No I'm not!"

"Yeah you are....."

"Hey, Niomi, Tama, don't take this personally, but Nari and I are gonna go." Tenshi and Nari scurried out of the place carrying their leftovers, not wanting to listen to one of their arguments. Inside however a new argument was blooming.

"You drove them away! You and your awful eating habits!"

"Nuh-uh you did!"

(And it begins all over again....)
