"Small Lady! We're under attack!" Sailorceres screamed, running into Small Lady's bedroom. "What?" Small Lady asked. "What do you mean?" "I don't have time to explain, follow me! Hurry!" Ceres exclaimed, grabbing Small Lady's arm. "You too, Diana!" "Let's go, Small Lady!" Diana jumped onto her arm and Small Lady raced after Sailorceres. As she got out of the crystal palace, she saw that there was a lot of energy beams being shot all over at Crystal Tokyo's center point - her home. "Wha.. what's going on?" she demanded. "Where's mommy and daddy?" "There isn't time to explain, you have to get to the Time Gate right now! Sailorpluto can explain the rest.. hurry! Use your key Sailorpluto gave you!" Sailorceres ordered. "You're going to have to go back to the past.. and hide! That's all I can say for now!" Sailorceres ran off in the direction of the other Asteroid Senshi. Small Lady held the Crystal Key in her right hand, and cradled Diana in the other. "We have to go now, Small Lady. This looks bad." Diana ordered softly. "But.. what about mommy? And daddy?" Small Lady began to cry. "We have to go now, Small Lady, we don't have a choice. I don't reconize this enemy.. they DON'T look like they're from the Black Moon family and DUCK!" "WHAT?!" Small Lady jumped down onto the ground to barely aviod an energy beam being shot directly at her. "They see us! Let's move!" Diana screamed. Small Lady held up her time key... * DEADLY RELAMS Part 1 - Witch of the Darkness Relam A Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon Story by Amy Lawson/Kixxycatt lawsg@sk.sympatico.ca or kixcatt@usa.net Timeline - This story takes place a while after Crying Moon, and even though you don't need to read it to understand this story, it doesn't hurt.

Watch out for part 2 of Deadly Relams coming soon.. I hope! * "PUU!" Small Lady exclaimed. She ran up to the elder senshi, Sailorpluto. Sailorpluto turned and smiled lightly. "Small Lady? What's the trouble?" Sailorpluto knelt down and put her hand on Small Lady's shoulder. She looked at Diana, who bounded up beside the pair. "A new enemy is attacking Crystal Tokyo, Puu-san, and they don't look like the expected Black Moon Family - far from it! Sailorceres requested we go to the past until the threat is gone.." she motioned twords Small Lady, "..and if it doesn't turn out well, Small Lady can preserve the future." "A good idea. I take it you know how this works?" Sailorpluto smiled. "You've done this before many times." "Hai.." Small Lady's voice was quivering. "Come, Diana." "Right behind you, Small Lady." Diana jumped onto Small Lady's shoulder and waved to Sailorpluto. "We'll come back soon! Contact us if anything is wrong.." Diana's voice faded as Small Lady walked through the Time Gate, her destination already planned... "Tsukino Usagi, 1998. Tsukino Usagi, 1998..." Small Lady mouthed as the force of the portals all around her literly swept her of her feet. * Small Lady kept walking, though the force of the portals made it hard for her to walk. Every step she took seemed to only bring her back two. Her small arms reached for something, anything, to hold on to, but felt nothing except the wind blowing her in all directions. Her mind was thinking only about her destination. Diana used her claws to hold onto Small Lady's dress and tried not to claw the girl herself. She, too, was thinking about Usagi's house, but also about trying not to fall off Small Lady. If she did THAT, they might never find each other ever again, espiecally if Small Lady went to the wrong place. Going to Hawaii was entirely possible. "This.. wind.. is.." Small Lady fell and tried to crawl. The winds were getting much stronger, and it was getting impossible to get enough air. "too.. strong.. Diana!" she cried out, falling to the ground as she tried to walk again. Diana thought, but she didn't want to worry Small Lady. Whatever happened, happened. "Concentrate on your destination, Small Lady!" she exclaimed, and almost fell off the girl. "R.. right.." Small Lady coughed, and weakly reopended her eyes. But when she did, they went wide open. "Look Diana!" she screamed. A shadowed figure hovered before them, and a light shone on her. She was tall, and looked very.. angry. "You have tresspassed into the Gateway of the Eternal Darkness.. for this, you must pay!" the figure ordered angrilly. She waved her hand and the winds slowly died down. "Oh no, Small Lady, we'll never get through!" Diana yelped. Small Lady stood up and glared at the guardian. She grabbed her henshin brooch and suddenly came to a bitter realization. "Oh no! I can't transform without Sailormoon with me!" she exclaimed. "You can.. but your power will be pretty weak." Diana confirmed. "But you don't really have a choice right now, do you?" Small Lady nodded. "Moon.. Crisis.. Make.. UP!" Small Lady exclaimed, and transformed into Supersailorchibimoon. "You're dusted!" "Dusted?!" snorted Diana. "Nice opening. Now get her and get her NOW!" she exclaimed. "Like YOU could do better." Chibimoon snorted. "Alright, stick em up cause you're going DOWN! Rainbow.. Moon.. Raidiation!" the attack seemed only to annoy the guardian, but certainly not harm it. "What?!" Chibimoon excalimed in horror. "It didn't do ANYTHING!" Diana thought sadly. She whispered into Chibimoon's ear, "Let's get out of here!" "HOW?!" Chibimoon replied. "Rainbow.. Moon.. Radiation!" the attack did the same amount of damage. "You really think THAT is going to beat ME?" the guardian laughed. "The name's Lady Darkness. And you're about to be dead!" she snarled. "Nobody but NOBODY crosses this point!" Diana thought. Diana slapped herself quickly with her paw. "Oh yeah? What kinda name is THAT?! Lady Darkness? Ha!" Chibimoon snorted. "You are PATH-ET-IC! You hear me? PA-YOW!" she exclaimed, swatting at the kitten who had scratched her ear. "RUN FOR IT!" Diana screeched. Sailorchibimoon hesiatated as her guardian kitten had already taken off. she turned around stubbornly. "Not going with your kitty witty?" the guardian mocked. "Who.. what are you?" Chibimoon asked. "And why aren't you doing ANYTHING?!" "I don't need to waste my time and energy, now do I?" the guardian yawned and turned to Chibimoon again. "After all, I'm a witch." Chibimoon thought. "A WITCH?! They don't exisit!" she snapped. "Tell me the truth you liar!" "Need.. proof?" Lady Darkness half-smiled. "Remember, you asked for it, not me." she flicked her finger at Chibimoon, who instantly had her arms turned into stone. "Hey! HELP!" Chibimoon exclaimed. "Let me go!" "Why?" the witch threw back her head and laughed. "What are you going to do with me?!" Chibimoon demanded. "I am a princess, not a statue! Uh, I can't move..!" "That's the point, dummy! Now as for what I'm going to do with you -- hmmm. Good question. I could kill you right here and now, but I'll have some fun of my own first. Now then," she flicked her finger again, and Chibimoon returned to normal. "Rainbow Moon.." "SILENCE!" Chibimoon instantly turned into a frog. "You have no respect for your elders, young one.. wha ha ha!" Chibimoon the frog thought. she thought hard for a momment. * Diana sighed. She was lost and Chibimoon was too. Diana stopped to rest for a momment. Suddenly, Diana felt a strong presence nearby. She ducked down and became totally silent. "Diana, where's Small Lady?" Sailorpluto demanded. Diana looked up thankfully at the senshi. "Oh, Pluto, it's you! *phew* Small Lady is Chibimoon right now.. A witch attacked us an-" "A WITCH?! Oh no, oh no.." Pluto slapped herself. "Oh, Diana, you should have stayed together!" "I couldn't help it, Sailorpluto-sama, she didn't follow me! You know how she is, she has to do things her way or the highway. Well the witch is from the Relam of Darkness I guess, but I'm not to sure about that, but I beleive that IS the way to that relam." "Quit babbling, we have to find Chibimoon right now! Follow me!" Sailorpluto exclaimed, already running full speed twords the Darkness Relam. "Right.. *huff* behind.. *pant* *pant*.. you.. Oh, here we.. go.. again." Diana huffed, struggling to keep up. * "Don't you like being a frog?" the witch taunted. "How about a.. oh, let me see here... a rabbit?" she pointed her finger at Chibimoon the frog and instantly turned her into Chibimoon the rabbit. Chibimoon thought to herself. "Or how about a donut?" Too late. "Or what about a turtle?" Chibimoon the turtle thought bitterly. * "Hurry, Diana, we're almost there!" Sailorpluto exclaimed. She sighed and picked Diana up by the scruff of her neck. "Now sit on my shoulder and BE CAREFUL!" "Right, Pluto.." Diana flopped down, exhausted. "You seem to be forgetting how, when you take one step I take about five!" "Be quiet and hold on!" Sailorpluto exclaimed, already running again. * "..and what's wrong with being a fox?" the witch asked to Chibimoon the hamster. Chibimoon thought. "No. I'll turn you into a statue, I'd like to hear you admit your natural defeat." she laughed, and flicked her finger at the hamster. Soon Chibimoon was a statue all except for her head. "I'll never admit defeat to YOU!" Chibimoon exclaimed. "Come on now, a sailor soilder never does that!" "Oh, no?" she pointed her finger and Chibimoon's neck and a knife hovered in the air. "Care to defy me again, young pup?" "Dead.. Scream." the attack flew full force at the witch, sending her quickly to the ground. She stood up, eyes blasting with fire. "Who did that?! Who DARES?!" "I dare." Sailorpluto appeared before the duo, Diana resting on her shoulder. "You will release her and make yourself scare, Darkness witch. And you will address me as your supirior." she positioned her time staff in front of Lady Darkness' neck. "Now flee." "Nevah!" the witch pointed her finger at the time staff. "Did I hear you wish for a snail?" "Then you heard wrong." Sailorpluto wacked Darkness' hand with her time staff, causing the witch to wither in pain. "Run, you two! I can handle this by myself!" "No, Puu, I can help! Rainbow.. Moon.. Radiation!" Chibimoon exclaimed, the attack throwing Darkness off balance. "Go!" Sailorpluto exclaimed. "Run to the Northeast and follow the light! You'll see a tunnel.. go west.. and be careful.." she hit the witch again. "Dead.. Scream." Chibimoon didn't need to be told twice. She started running twords the Northeast, praying another witch wasn't there to surprise her like the first one. TO BE CONTINUED
