"Trail of Fears"

"Mina! Stop!" Raye screamed, her feet crunching the browned leaves on the ground. Aurora was a quick runner, evidently, as she had caught up with Raye, and they were running side-by-side.

"I got it!" Mina exclaimed, bending down to pick up the wrapper. She stuffed it in her pocket, and turned around to see Raye. "Oh, hi Raye! Hi Aurora!"

"Are we lost Raye?" asked Aurora. She looked all around her. The woods were already getting dark, and she couldn't see the rest of their group anywhere.

"Let's see... If we follow our trail of broken twigs and leaves, we might be able to find our way back," Ray said with an emphasis on "might," glaring at Mina throughout the whole sentence.

"I'm sorry..." Mina sulked.

Aurora looked down toward the ground, and noticed on Raye's wrist, there was a communicator. She must be Sailor Mars! she thought, excited. Yes! It looks like it's time for my next nega-slave to be brought forth!

"Earth to Aurora!" Raye yelled.

"What?" Aurora snapped out of her reverie.

"Let's go try to find the others!" Raye continued. "That is, as long as I'm not interrupting your daydream!"

"Nega, Dark Stone, Power!!" Aurora yelled with all her might, holding the Dark Stone in mid air. One ray of blackness swept out of her jewel. Infinite more followed, wrapping around Aurora like a cocoon. The rays dissappeared in merely a few seconds.

Sailor Nega stood before the two girls that were in awe. "Surprised? Well, I'd recommend that you be afraid! Very afraid!"

"Dega, Dark Stone, Drain!!" Sailor Nega aimed the Dark Stone at Mina, and quickly drained her energy. Mina fell to the ground, her face pale, her expression dead.

"I won't let you get away with this!" Raye screamed.

"Oh save the speech, Sailor Mars!" Sailor Nega sneered.

"What? You know who I-" Raye started to question, but was interrupted quickly by Sailor Nega.

"Nega, Dark Stone," Sailor Nega started.

"Mars, Star, Pow-" Raye tried to transform but didn't have enough time.

"Monsterize!!" Sailor Nega finished her command, sending an ambush of darkness from her Dark Stone, encircling Raye.

Raye looked at the beams spinning around her. "What's happening?"

"Prepare to become my nega-slave! Prepare to become my monster!" Sailor Nega announced. "Prepare to become..."

Raye's skin tinted itself to a deep purple. Her hair grew tougher, as thick as quills. Raye stared at her arms, which grew into scales. "Please! Stop this!" Raye pleaded. A tear formed in one eye, which fell onto the ground. Water droplets from the tear splattered back upon her, imprinted stars all over her body. The beams of dark light bonded into two thick streams, each running into her Raye's eyes, which glowed now with a blood red hue.

"Phobius!!" Sailor Nega finished her sentence.

"What would you like me to do first, Queen Nega?"
