Foreword
Since a lot has happened from the beginning I think it's
time that we did a recap. After the doom tree the scouts thought they could
take it easy, that was until girls began to disappear. The reason for the
kidnapping was Citrakite, the last and seemingly youngest of Beryl's generals.
Imprisoned in crystal sleep by Beryl for a thousand years he was seeking
a cure for his strange energy disease that was slowly killing him. He found
out that his doom seeds could make a cure if they're planted inside seven
strong healthy girls. So his Cyber dolls tried to do as he asked, trying
to seed Lita, then Ms Haruna, Rei, Amy and Molly. Each time with the scouts
showing up to stop him. Wary of a possible ambush Amy went on a semi-date
with David, a young man that appeared at the same time as Citra and became
Serena's tutor. In the course of the night Amy was drugged and was rescued
by an enraged David who shows he's really Citrakite. He confides in Amy
his true name and purpose. Leaving her confused about his true nature.
So we now go forward to Seed Seven. As usual I only claim to own Citrakite
and the dolls. The rest are a product of Naoko's fertile head and more
power to her.

Eve stretched a long, shapely leg into the air
as she lounged in the hot spring. Wiggling her toes, she dipped her leg
back in and sighed as she look around to see she was surrounded by a rough
hewn cavern under Citra sama's home. Her sisters sat in the huge pool of
water and gossiped like the young girls that they appeared to be. All of
them were wrapped in towels and talking of the scouts. " I hear Citra going
to capture them all and make them servants to use to make up for destroying
Megumi and Vailex." Kiki giggled and wiped a wet piece of her brownhair
away as Yuki whispered to her. " No way I think he's going to send Eve
to get rid of them except for that blue haired girl." Eve ignored their
prattle and wiggled some more as she pressed herself into Citrakite's side.
His eyes flickered as he turned to look at her. " Citra please don't look
so sad. I can make you happy if you'll let me." She snuggled closer and
pressed her warm lips onto his flesh. " Eve don't go there. Your
one of my dolls." " You're so mean. You need to relax." She slipped behind
him and wrap her arms around his waist. C'mon Citra sama smile for me.
" Her arms got ice cold and she yelped as she let go. " Thank you but it's
not that easy Eve. " He stood up and dematerialized in a swirl of snow.
Eve watched him fade and frowned. " Those stupid senshi are hurting him
so much. They'll pay for doing this to him. " He reappeared in his rooms
and picked up a picture from an ornate dresser. He looked at it and remembered
how Amy and Serena had smiled for him when he had taken it. " Good things
don't really last do they? I'm not so sure now."

Serena sat at her table balancing a pencil on her
nose. " Serena, you should be studying. There's no reason for you
to be daydreaming like this." Luna leapt onto the desk and swatted the
pencil down. " Uh, oh sorry Luna did you say something?" Luna sighed in
exasperation and hung her head low as a sweat bead rolled down her forehead.
" I said your going to fail the test tomorrow. Are you thinking about him
still?" Serena slowly nodded. " He so polite and nice but he's the bad
guy. Luna I don't think he wants to hurt people like the others did. He's
more like Alan then one of those sleazoid generals of Beryl. I think we
can help him but its not like I can just find him and shout out hey I'm
the Moon Princess let me help you in public." " Luna nearly passed out.
" You're thinking responsibly. Maybe he's not so bad after all. ' Luna
was cut short as a pillow hit her.

" You're going to a modeling audition? It's been
a while Mina, you sure about this? You don't even have your portfolio any
more since we moved back to Japan. " Yes I do silly. Darien and Serena
went with me when you were with Luna that day last month." "You mean the
same day we met him." " Artemis he has a name." " That's just the problem
is it David or Citrakite." " Mina bit her lip and nodded. " Citalis, If
he told Amy that was his name then I'll call him that." Artemis leaped
onto her bed. " So anyway who is this audition for? You haven't seemed
interested in the business lately. What made you change your mind?" Mina
pulled out a small flyer and unfolded it. " Seven girls wanted as possible
spokes ladies for new company. Age desired: Twelve to twenty four.. Walk-ins
are welcome and no experience necessary. " Sounds a little fishy too me.
Citra said he wanted seven girls." Artemis looked up at her. " Oh I get
it. Your planning on being one of the seven so you can make sure without
them knowing your scout just in case it's a trap. That sure is devious
Mina." She smiled and tossed her hair back as she finished brushing it
out. " I may look like a dumb blonde but there's a brain under this gorgeous
little head of hair. " She giggled as a sweat bead rolls down the back
of his head. " Gee she's really modest about it too."
Mina spent the next morning picking out her best
outfit and putting it in a garment bag in case she made it to the final
cut. She twirled in her white skirt and orange blouse in front of Artemis.
" So what you think? " " You're going to knock them dead." Where are the
other scouts going to be?" " Other scouts, hehe got to go!" She gripped
her bag and ran out of the room. " I'm going to have a stroke because off
her one day." Artemis padded off to tell Luna about Mina's plan.
* * *
Mina got a large, metal domed building where all
the audition were being held and put on her game face as she smiled and
opened the door. Walking in she saw a line of girls, three rows deep, wrapping
around the marquee. She looked past the line and saw the open doors of
a huge stage studio with at least fifty girls sitting as they waited to
be called. " Man this is going to take awhile. " She bumped the girl in
front of her and turned to apologize and saw Rei with her mouth wide open
just about to insult her. " Oh hi Rei. Should have guessed you be here
too. Been waiting long?" " Rei closed her mouth and sighed. " Not
too long just want to know what taking them so long. What are you doing
here?" A group of ten girls left the room sniffling collectively. " Guess
they got cut. I thought it might be fun." She saw the vein in Rei's head
pop up. " I thought Citalis was involved." A head popped up from
around her shoulder. " Hi there. Can't believe you'd sneak off without
telling the rest of us. Oh hi Rei." Serena said this with less enthusiasm
then she had with Mina.
They moved with the line, every time a group left
ten more in the line went in." Had I known I'd be waiting all day I would
have brought a lunch before leaving the house. " Serena complained softly.
" You know you don't have to stick around Serena. If you're hungry go eat
and stop whining about it." Serena stuck her tongue out as Rei. No way
I'm here to cheer on you guys on." A wrapped bento box was dangled in front
of their faces and Serena nearly drooled on the floor. " Lunch anyone?
" " Oh Lita you're a lifesaver! " Serena grasped the lunch box and opened
it almost inhaling the food as she ate. " Chill out Serena your making
a scene." Rei stared at her. " But it's so good. Hmm I love it." Several
of the girls around them eyed her and left as she finished up the meal
and looked up at the young lady at the desk. " I told you he wanted it
noon day, yes twelve o'clock as in noon. If it were midnight I'd have said
twenty-four hundred hours or he wanted them tonight. Just get it here Emi."
The girl put down the phone and looked up at them. " Hi Just fill out the
forms and hand me your portfolio. Thank you." The blonde girl nabbed Mina's
folder and handed her a clipboard. They found dozens of seats open as they
went past the desk to the area dead before the set. Serena looked over
" Why all the weird questions? Have you had surgery? Do you hare scars?
Have you ever had a serious illness? Sounds more like a doctor's form.
It's kinda creepy" Mina nodded and checked off line after line. " If you
something chronic or have any major scars or marks on you and they don't
know then it's not good for them since they'd have to replace you so they
ask you about all of this in advance. It just saves time."
Serena looked at the other girls waiting and saw
a gorgeous Green haired girl reading a art magazine when a taller woman
with the same striking hair came out. Hi My names Eve, love your hair.
Your next. what's your name? " Eve lead the girl trough the double doors
as she replied. The door closed cutting off the rest of their conversation
and Serena leans back into her chair. " There are so many pretty girls
here, Mina. I couldn't stand with all these and have them say I'm the one
they cut. Ow!" Rei stared at her after pinching her arm. " Your going to
jinx her Serena. I'm sure she do her best either way so lets leave
it as that ok? Geez you can be so dense sometimes. " Serena sniffled, "
Your always so mean to me." " Well if you act your age and thought things
out I wouldn't have to be." Rei and Serena turned around and ignored each
other for a while. Lita looked at Rei and Serena. " I was just thinking.
Where's Amy? she got the call too right? Serena turned around again. "
Amy said she's not feeling to good after what happened last time. If anything
happens I know she'll be here though. " Lita sighed as she stretched. "
Poor Amy she had it rough can't blame her for wanting to take easy for
a day or too. " Mina giggled. " Guess she only studying next weeks lesson
and not next month's." " Nope I did that last week. " Amy sat down near
Serena and demurely put her hands in her lap. " I figured it time to get
back to work." Rei looked at her with a worried look. " You sure Ami? Amy
waved her hand at Rei and smiled. " Don't be silly I had worse things than
that." The blonde girl at the front desk handed Mina her portfolio. She'll
see you. They all moved together past the doors and their jaws dropped.
Dozens of girls were wearing a over sized Genco T-shirt and were dancing
in unison to a fast techno song. " the same Green haired girl stood there
with a disgusted look on her face and walked away from Eve." " Oh well
she's a classics girl. Which one of you girls is Mina?' See looked over
each and rested her gaze on Amy. " Oh it's you again. David's friend. Well
if you want you all can try. I'll do the papers later for you. " Serena
face light up. " Me a model, how cool." Rei looked at her and sighed. "
You can't walk and chew gum Serena remember the last time.
" Eve eyed them all ' Citra said they'd come as
a group but I thought only a moron would group up like that when they know
he knows Ami is mercury. Hmm which one is that brat. guess i put
them through dance like other girls. ' A young girl ran up and with an
obvious blush stared at Eve. She looked down at the girl and sighed. "
Yuki what is it now? did you forget the T-shirts? " Yuki snapped out of
her daze and handed each an shirt. The Genco logo, a black diamond in a
red heart, was brightly emblazoned on each. they girls put them on and
got five spaces on the mat as another five were told to leave. Eve stood
on a raised platform to side. " It's simple, dance to the beat like the
screen shows. if your pad turns red your out. simple enough? Are you ready,
then go! " a slow techno song start and girls figure out how to do what
the screen says. Surprisingly enough Serena picks it up quickly. " Darien
took to me a friends house. He had one of these things." " Lita raised
her eyebrow. when she going to play something faster? I saw Andrew talking
about this. the Arcades going to be getting one soon. Serena turned around
and missed the cue to start dancing. " Serena it's starting!" She tried
to catch up but trying to turn falls over as pad turns red. " Lita kept
up with song as she looked at Serena. " Sorry girl but you weren't paying
attention. * Girl after girl got dropped as they either didn't want to
try or failed after the third song. Soon the only girls left were the five
scouts and a dozen others. Each girl was panting from all the dancing.
Eve took the platform. " Your all doing so well
and isn't this so much fun. well your going to make it slightly harder.
you have to do it in sync with the girl next to you. " Lita looked at Amy
" Think we can do it?" Amy looked at ground then back at Lita . "
I'm not sure but I'll try my best." Lita raised amy's hands. " Yeah that's
it we'll show them." Other girls shake hands and agreed to the same thing
as the music started again. Several girls were out of step and by the end
of the song only 5 teams were left A new voice came from the platform
as a girl in a tight chinese dress with a mike in her hand, walked out.
Her long legs free by the slit that went up both sides of her dress, showing
off the fine mucsle tone she had. " Hey looking good but there still 10
of you dancers left and that's 3 too many people. So I'm taking things
up another notch. my name's Amiko and I'm going to out dance you. " with
a flip she leap off the platform and landed lightly on the mat. her Green
pigtails trailing off her hair buns, bouncing around her shoulders.
one of you is the one that i want. the ad said seven but it's really one
special girl with a pure heart and a strong body. now which one is it.
" She pointed to one girl. " Dance like you mean it we're going to do fourth
song. " The song started up so fast the girl never had a chance to get
her moves right and pad turned red. She kept out dancing one after
another until she gotten it down to two, Mina and Rei. " Just you two left?
"
" Serena, she's really good. I think this is a
trap." Serena looked at Amy. " Cause she beat you and Lita?" " No Serena
cause Eve works for Genco and Genco is run by Citrakite. " Serena eyes
became lines as she realized how stupid she just looked asking that. Eve
smiled at them. " All so right, sailor scouts." Mats flew at them
and wrapped around them. " Amiko seed the blond she has to be Sailor
moon. the other one too much of a ditz." Amiko let her buns drop amd her
hair tumblied loose as a doom seed levitated free. Rei held up her pen
but got hit from behind by Yuki. " No way your going to transform and ruin
Citra's plan this time. * Amy and Serena struggled futilely with mats as
Amiko looked at Mina. " If you stop dancing I get you. Mina keep dancing
to the beat as she saw Yuki try to get off pad and gets shocked. ' Ow ow
I can't dance like that. Eve turn it off. Ow! " Amiko and Mina danced together
face to face then Amiko smiled. " ' Your super. You do this often? too
bad your a scout we could go out to a club and be friends. Big spin and
a kick. " Amiko span in place like a top then faster then she could follow
kicked Mina right in her stomach. Mina fell back trying to lessen the hit
but felt all the air in her lungs rush out as she hit the ground. " Now
seed go!* the seed orientated fly at her then stopped as a rose sliced
across it's path* High in the rathers a cape opened and Tuxedo mask held
another rose. " Dancing is supposed to be fun but you twisted into a terrible
game. * roses hit the mats holding each scout and the mat relax letting
them squirm out. Eve bit her finger as she watched them hold their hands
out* This isn't good girls, not at all." Five scouts stood there staring
at Eve." Oh well it was a nice game but playtime's over. " She hits control
and pads shock all five scouts, sending them to their knees as the doom
seed floated toward Sailor Venus.. " Jupiter jerked as the current ran
through her. " Can't move guys. it too strong. Venus! " Tuxedo mask hit
remote with his cane and he leaps down to help scout and Eve watched box
break on floor as current stopped. " Sailor Moon are you ok? " She nodded,
" The meatballs are slightly crispy, but nothing a little Moon Spectre
won't fix." She stood up with the spectre and pointed at Eve. " Oh dear.
Citrakite's going to blame this on me I just know it. " As if on cue a
cold wind blew behind her. Citrakite was paler and sounded weaker then
last time the senshi had seen him. " Failed again? Well at least I know
who you all are now. Sorry meatball head but I guess the tutoring sessions
are over. " He looked at Jupiter and saw that hurt look in her eyes. Mercury
looked up at him. " Citalis we can help you. Serena can heal what wrong
with you. Citra snorted. ' Beryl couldn't cure what's wrong with me. Only
Queen Serenity or her daughter might have done it and both are dead. Save
your pity for others. " He looked at Eve. " We're going home now."
Each girl blinked out one by one with Cirtakite. Sailor moon shouted to
his fading form and ran forward. " Wait, Citalis, I'm the Moon Princess,
but it was too late.
* * *
Serena stared at her soda and watched the ice crack
apart. " Cheer up Serena. The Senshi rescued all those people at the audition,
thats counts for something." Lita sounded less than convinced herself and
saw that Amy was staring at her drink too. Lita sighed and slumped over
putting her chin into the palm of her hand. Darien looked at each
girl and hit the table with the flat of his hand. " We need to heal
him thats the end of the story. He just won't listen to us is all. Serena
looked at him and a gost of a smile crossed her face. " Your right. If
he won't ask then we'll have to force it. like we did on you back when
Beryl had her claws in you. Darien smiled wryly. " Just as long as I don't
have to take an ice spear again." Lita eyes grew brighter as she looked
at Mina. " Yeah. A mission of love and peace, sounds so romantic doesn't
it. " Mina nodded. " Yeah we'll cure him and then he won't have to
seed anyone." they looked at Amy and Rei. " Well we seem to have a greater
mathmatical proability of curing him than if we tried to stop him by force..
Rei bumped her arm. " In others words we're in." The five girls put out
their hands, one on top of another and cheered. Darien watched with pride.
' Scouts, as long as your united I know You'll win. Now it's just can you
stay united while he's looking at you..' He looked at Amy and Lita and
saw their eyes and sighed again.
THE END
