Welcome all who wish to read this!  Anyway, as we say in the business,
let's start.

				Chapter 5

	Rei sat alone on the temple floor.  She remembered the death of the first
person she cared about, her Grandpa.  He had merely been resting, and a
Dark Kingdom youma had come looking for Rei.  Instead, it found only
Grandpa, and so, he had been killed as a message.
	Then, Rei remembered what had happened to her love, Jedite.  He had 
come, and seeing that Rei's grandpa was killed, felt guilty.  He had sent
the youma!  He only wanted to make Rei come over and join the Dark Kingdom,
so they could be together.  But, in his confession, Rei lost it.  She
became
Sailor Mars, and killed him.  Then it hit her.  She had killed the one she
wanted to be with.
	And now, Lita was dead.  Three people that she cared about deeply were
gone.  Her tears were not to be denied, and so she let them pour forth with
these memories.  Rei wanted to die.  But, she knew that the earth still
needed her.  She wasn't going to let anyone else that she cared about die.
			~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Serena and Darien were sitting in front of the TV at his apartment,
passing time.  They were still sad because of Lita's death.  They wished
that they could wake up, but no.  They would have to live out this
nightmare, and cope, somehow.
	Their thoughts were interrupted by Serena's communicator beeping.  She
pulled it out of her pocket, and answered it on the third beep.  It was
Rei.
	"Serena, get over to the temple.  I'm calling an emergency meeting of the
Sailor Senshi."
	"Sure, Rei."  With that, the connection was lost, and Serena and Darien
were on their way.  What this was about, they had no clue.
			~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Serena and Darien were the last to arrive at the temple.  Amy had only
beaten them by a couple of minutes, however, and Mina by only thirty
seconds.
	"Good, you're here," Rei stated.  "Now, to get down to business.  The Dark
Kingdom is planning to get rid of all of us, one by one.  They started with
Lita."  Of course, Rei was only assuming this, never dreaming that Lita
would commit suicide.  "Now, we have to go in and take care of them. 
Otherwise, we will all get killed."
	"I agree," Mina said solemnly.  "We have to do it."
	"Right," said Amy.  "Let's do it for Lita."
	"For planet Earth," said Serena.
	"Then let's do it," said Darien.  He then transformed into Tuxedo Mask.
	Rei, Amy, Mina, and Serena each turned into their respective Senshi forms.
They were going to teleport to the Dark Kingdom, and it was gonna be over
soon.  One way or the other.
			~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Malachite stood in front of his black and scarlet throne.  He had Black
Warlock standing at his right side.
	"They are coming," Black Warlock said.  "I can feel them."
	"Let them come.  They will die.  And the Dark Kingdom will rule the
world."
Black Warlock knew exactly what he was going to do.  He was going to finish
what he had started, and let Malachite handle this himself.  And if
Malachite should win, then he would approach the problem with his alternate
plan.
	The darkness began to glow in one spot, where the Senshi and Tuxedo Mask
finally appeared.  Malachite only watched for a moment, before speaking.
	"Hello, girls.  And, hello, cape-boy."
	"You're one to talk, Malachite," Darien retorted quickly.
	"At least my cape is worn in good taste.  But that is not the issue here. 
The issue is your doom!"  Malachite unleashed a hellish attack toward the
Senshi.  They all dodged, making Malachite madder than ever.
	"Mars Fire Ignite!"  The attack flew toward Malachite, who disappeared. 
The attack fried the throne.  Malachite appeared behind Sailor Mars, and he
grabbed her head, in a choke-hold.  Sailor Mercury started to use her
bubbles, but was stopped.
	"You make it so I can't see, then Mars here dies.  It would be so easy to
snap her neck right now."
	Sailor Mercury backed off.  All the Senshi did.  Malachite whispered into
Mars's ear.
	"Say hello to Jupiter for me."  With that, he snapped her neck, and her
lifeless body fell to the floor.  Malachite looked at the rest of the
Senshi.  "Well, whaddya know?  It was easy."
	Sailor Moon knew there was only one thing to do now.  She took out the
Silver Crystal.
	"You bastard.  You have killed two of my friends, and now I'm gonna make
you pay."
	"Oooh, I'm shaking," Malachite said sarcastically.  Serena took the
crystal, and made a wish with her heart.  That wish was that the dark
Kingdom to be destroyed, and her friends to be brought back.
	The crystal began glowing, and it emanated a bright light.  It filled the
dark Kingdom, and soon everything began crumbling.  The remaining Senshi
were teleported out.  The power of the Silver Crystal destroyed the Dark
Kingdom, and Malachite.  However, one soul managed to escape....
			~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	The Senshi appeared right outside Rei's temple.  Suddenly, to their
astonishment, two girls appeared before them.
	"LITA!  REI!" Serena shouted.  "YOU'RE BACK!"
	"You better believe it, girl," Lita said.  "I couldn't stay dead for long.
 It was too boring."
	"Same here," Rei commented.  "What about the Dark Kingdom?"
	"Destroyed," said Tuxedo Mask, who then turned into Darien.  All the
Senshi de-powered into their normal forms.
	"That's good to hear.  We finally won."  All the Senshi were happy to be
back to normal.  Now, their lives could be a little more like everyone
else's.

(In the time of Crystal Tokyo, on a far, distant planet)

	Black Warlock appeared outside of a palace, that looked very exquisite. 
He didn't know who lived there, but he was determined to find out.  He
entered, and somehow found his way to the head of the palace.
	"Who goes there?" asked a man sitting on the throne.  Black Warlock only
moved closer.  He saw the man sitting on the throne.  He was wearing a
white/light blue suit, with a cape.  His hair was light colored.  "What is
you name?" asked the man.
	Black Warlock, not wanting his true identity exposed, decided to tell him
a new name.
	"My name, sir, is Wiseman."

Yes!  This story is finished!  I know this isn't in accordance with the
series, but it is my story, so I can do with it what I want.  This is how I
think would have been best for the Wiseman to have come about.  Anyway,
