Flames rippled all around Rei, red flames swirling all over her body. She embraced the red fire, as she manifested into her other form. When the flames disappeared another women stood there, stood where a normal typical teenage girl had been but a moment ago. Now Sailor Mars stood before the blazing temple. Sailor Mars gently laid her Grandfather's body down. She kissed his fore head lovingly, before standing back up with her full rage at the blue flames burning her home. The cloaked young man with the blue eyes did nothing, his hooded face showed no response from her roar and sudden appearance change. He did however gaze at the device she had used to apparently transform in. He stood inside the burning flames gazing at her, no staring would be a better word. Staring into her eyes, he stood with his black cloak flapping amongst the flames. His clothes did not seem to be affected by the burning fire. He simply walked out of the temple coldly standing before her. Sailor Mars growled at the Gaul of this man, he had done so much to her and now acted so casual about it. It was too much! "Hold it right there!" shouted mars with a deadly finger. The dark young man simply looked at like her. He seemed to be neither frightened nor intimidated by her. He took a step towards her. "I am Sailor Mars, defender of the innocent.. and your blood shall be spilled for the actions you committed on this land!" Sailor Mars seemed to shake with anger as she spoke those words then growled up at the figure before her. Sailor Mars then held up her hands. "You want to see fire!" she roared, "I'll show you fire!" Mars held forth her hands and prepared herself before launching an attack. "MARS!! Fire Soul Bird!" A fire blazed forth form Sailor Mars's hands in the form of a phoenix like bird. Flapping it's flaming wings screeching it flew straight at the cloaked figure. The bird screeched again as it struck fly right into the man with a direct hit. Sailor mars smiled grimly, vengeance plainly clear in her raging eyes. There was a loud bang and smoke filled every where the bird had struck the dark young man. Smoke flogged Sailor Mar's vision as she searched for the body of the man she so badly wanted dead at this point. Then as the smoke began to clear and victory was certain in Sailor Mars eyes she suddenly witnessed the Cloaked man still standing there. "How..? How can this Be?" said Sailor Mars, hardly believing it herself. There he stood however with his burning eyes staring down into Sailor Mars own eyes. He took two more steps toward her, he seemed to be daring her to attack again. There was not a scratch on him, in fact his clothes and his cloak/hood showed no signs of burning of any kind. It was insulting to Sailor Mars who quickly got over her shock with more rage. She was a fighter after all.. if one attack did not work another would! "So.. you think that's funny do you!?" she screamed loudly then she had ever screamed before. "Well, try this on you Bastard!!" Mars held forth her hands once more as she concentrated, she would have gone to the ends of the earth right now if she thought it would have killed this man. Her body shook unstably with anger, raw cold hatred. However that was when the hooded man made his move, he knew his chance would come and waited for it calmly. The dark young man's eyes brightened suddenly as he sprinted forward with a sudden deadly speed. He seemed to move so fast, time itself begin to stand still and Sailor Mars slowly saw him come at her. The man seemed to hover above the air as he flew at her and struck Sailor Mars in the stomach with his fist. When the fist first made contact Mars thought inside that it would only hurt a little, she could not dodge the attack for two reasons. Firstly because she had let her guard down summoning her energy for an attack secondly he had moved so fast she probably would not have been able to dodge him or counter his attack anyway. The hit struck her and immediately Sailor Mars's error flashed in her mind as her body flew across the air unnaturally from the massive blow to her gut. Sending the young women down the temple steps roughly, several hundred yards away. The young man it seemed had some sort of enhanced strength and speed Mars realized regretibly as she slowly sat up, she glared up at him. She would not give up not after what he had done to her, with this in mind sailor Mars leapt to her feet feeling the blow still ring in her bruised body painfully.The dark young man floated to the ground and begin walking down the temple steps after her never lossing eye contact with her. She glared up the steps back at him and let forth her strongest attack. "MARS FLAME SNIPER!" Roared the senshi desperately. A magical bow made of flame appeared in her trembling hands. She pulled the flaming string back carefully, as an arrow of fire came about as well. Then she measured up her open target, and let the string go. The flaming red arrow flew up the steps towards it's target. Mars smiled openly as her eyes followed the arrow, but as the arrow finally reached the target something terrible happen. The cloaked figure had seen it coming from the beginning he had even seen her form it in her hands.. He simply raised one of his hands quickly and grabbed the flaming arrow in mid air with a speed not of this world. The arrow hung in his grasp blazed around like a captured wild animal. The young man then flung the arrow to the ground roughly and watched it harmlessly disappear. Sailor Mars watching all of this let out a scream and charged bravely at the man. He had taken everything away from her and she would have her revenge. The young man watched her run at him and charged as well, they both contacted each other and were flung back, mars hit the pavement hard but quickly got to her feet hurting all over. The young man flew back as well but did a mid air back flip and landed slowly to his feet un-damaged. It was clear by now who the victory would be but Mars would not give up.. she had been down many times before in her life, she swung a fist at the man catching him off guard in the face then flew another punch at him. The cloaked figure stumbled back a few paces when the fist mark hit him but recovered his wits and caught her fist with his hand on the second one. He was surprised she still had any fighting sprit left in her. He squeezed her hand painfully with his strength as a popping sound flew through the air, he broke her hand easily. Mars yelled out in pain then growled as she tried to recover her strength to strike at him again but the man simply blocked with his own open hand. He then grabbed her by her broken fist and flung her in the air down the temple stairs. Down Mars rolled in tremendous pain, past Chad's body. to the temple gates where she landed with a bang. She closed her eyes then opened them back up, and there he was. His eyes shining down on her like an un dieing wraith.. His cloak flapping in the wind, she wanted bleive it was all a nitemare, that she would wake up and be in her bed with her familey near by but sadly it was not to be. It wasn't enough he had killed her inside had he come to finish the job on her shell? The hooded man reached down and withdrew something from the women he had beaten to a pulp. Then Mars helpless on the ground realized with horror what he had taken from her. "My.. transformation pen" she thought, "why." Sailor Mars disappeared as the item was taken away and a bloody, beaten Rei Hino remained. "No.." Moaned Rei as the figure turned away to leave. She grabbed his leg with her only usable hand, "i will not let you get away," she moaned again. The dark villain turned to look down at her helpless and pointed his empty hand down at her. A wave of blue fire met the helpless girl burning her hair, face and body. Rei fell into darkness as the flames struck her by the gate, the last thing she saw in her painfull vison was the figure fly away with her transformation pen then darkness took her.

Cool.

I like the way the story is coming anlong. I wonder what the man in the dark cloak is going to do with Rei's henshin pen. I can't wait to read the next post. ;D

"Curious..." spoke Captain Henteko, as he studied the small pin trinket in his grasp. "So. It seems you have done better then expected.." The captain smiled grimly at the figure in the dark cage of the chamber he was standing in. "You are a wretched creature aren't you..?" Spoke the older captain with disgust, "I just don't understand it.. We have so much dark energy cultivated to use, yet you... You miserable little imp get more attention then any of the other interests of the Empire." The captain stared at the being he was speaking to with obvious jealousy, "what do have that makes you so special Experiment #57..? Or should I refer to your code name.. Blackheart...?" The dark being the Captain was speaking to seem to be in some sort of containment cage, At those words the being flinched back as if it had been struck. It looked up at the captain in obvious clear obedience, it's blue eyes shining up at him from the darkness. "heh.." Snorted the captain as he turned away, " Don't worry my little Soul Taker.. Now that you shown us this trinket, I'm sure you'll get an assignment for other another one soon.. Very soon.." Henteko then left the dark chamber with that being said, He walked along the hallway thinking to himself. "I will get much recognition for this.. Oh yes, indeed. It seems Earth has something of deep value after all.." The captain walked on to the end of the dimly lit hallway as he planned his next objective for experiment #57.


The sun slowly arose into the air past the ash smitten sky.. A new light came to the day, as the sky illuminated the scars of the night before. Ami Mizuno left her house as always 40 minutes early to read before school started. Her short blue hair fluttered in the breeze, as she walked down the side walk slowly making her way to school. The typical noise of the busy city greeted her as she walked on, she looked down at her school bag in her firm grasp. Ami had Math test today that she had fully studied for and, she could not help feeling a little excitement at the challenge. Ami smiled to herself as she thought of the lovely afternoon and evening she had spent with her two best friends Usagi Tsukino and Rei Hino. It's true she had two other close friends in Makoto Kino and Minako Aino but, Ami's first real friend had been Usagi.. She remembered fondly her first days as her alias Sailor Mercury, Usagi and her had been a team. Usagi as Sailor Moon and Ami as Sailor Mercury. Shortly after her awaking the duo had been joined by Rei who became Sailor Mars. Together the three of them had forged a tight and close bond that only the three of them could really comprehend. They had defeated their first archenemies Jadeite together and fought nephrite for a while as well. Ami honestly wouldn't know how to react if she lost either of two. Ami looked up into the sky with a sigh, they had forged strong memories. Suddenly however as Ami had her head cast skyward she noticed something still rising from the ground into the heavens above. Ami Mizuno frowned as she stared ahead at the black smoke filling the sky, her eyes followed to the smoke to it's source. Shock then filled her deep blue eyes as she discovered the source of the smoke, her school bag fell to the floor as her hands flew to her open mouth. "Oh Rei," spoke Ami quietly, without thinking Ami then popped open her Senshi communicator device. The communicator buzzed as she rang Makoto, Minako and Usagi. The first to answer the device was Makoto busy around the kitchen as usual. "Hello?" spoke Makoto while holding a frying pan in her grasp. "It me, Ami." Spoke Ami quietly. "What's wrong?" spoke the mini version of Makoto from Ami's communicator. "It's Rei's Shrine.. It's... It's," spoke Ami. "Yes? it's?" responded Makoto "On FIRE!" shrieked Ami in an emotional mess. "No!!!" roared Makoto, "Okay.. Get there as fast as you can I'll get Usagi and Minako.. Just make sure Rei and her family are okay Ami." Ordered Makoto taking charge. "Okay I'm on my way declared Ami as she flipped the communicator off and charged down the street towards the shrine.

[Suisei]

I like the story, it's coming along nicely. I like the details you added about Ami. I can't wait to read more about Black Heart I can't wait to read your next post. ^_^

[Safire]

Makoto Kino frowned as she hung up her communicator. "All right.. Rei we're coming.. all of us." Spoke Makoto to herself as she quickly put away her cooking utensils. She walked to the door and grabbed her shoes. After locking her apartment door she hurried into the street. "Lets see should I go wake up Minako or Usagi first?" Spoke Makoto with a sigh, it was her luck to have to wake up the two laziest members of the their group. Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus were both valued fighters and warriors but when it came to getting up in the morning, well you would have a better chance trying to persuade Haruka to wear a dress. "However.." Thought Makoto as she walked on, she certainly wouldn't want it any other way. They were just unique, yes that was the word to describe them thought Makoto with a chuckle. "I suppose I'll try to get Minako first, and I better hurry if we are to help Ami." Spoke Makoto as she ran up the walk way to Minako's house. "Almost there.." Thought Makoto as she ran past a stop sign. Finally Makoto begin draw close to Minako's establishment. She stopped short of the door wondering what she would say, after all it was early in the morning. Makoto sighed and just decided to do what she did best, and that was action. She knocked loudly on the front door, then waited for an answer. Makoto waited and waited, then knocked louder and waited. She growled under her breath, she wanted to run and there and jerk the lazy girl out of her bed. If knocking wouldn't wake Minako up, Makoto was about ready to climb a tree and pull her out of her bed manually, after all Rei's life could be at stake! What she needed now was action! Suddenly near the front window something caught Makoto's quick eyes. A small fuzzy white head poked up from the couch and blinked at her curiously. Makoto smiled and almost felt like jumping for joy as soon as she recognized the white head. "Artemis!" exclaimed Makoto, "I need to get in and get Minako, it's an emergency." The fuzzy white head nodded as if it understood what she was saying perfectly, as it did a small crescent moon gleamed in the sun on it's forehead. The head disappeared, shortly following the door gave a clink sound as if it had suddenly been unlocked. Makoto grinned, and spoke "Good old Artemis!" She then turned the door knob and walked in. A small white cat with the same blinking face and crescent moon on it's fore head meowed a greeting to her as she entered. "Thanks Artemis I owe you one, now where is Minako? Rei is in trouble come on I'll explain on the way to the Usagi's!" The cat simply ran up the stairs in answer, and Makoto followed intently. They reached a bedroom door that was opened a crack and Artemis darted in. Makoto followed right after him and glanced around. Minako lay stretched out in her bed still snoozing, Artemis quickly however jumped up on her bed and quietly walked over to Minako's rear end. The small cat looked over at Makoto. "I will wake her up don't worry." Came a soft reply from Artemis. "Good but how?" asked Makoto. Artemis simply smiled at Makoto, the white cat then lifted a paw into the air. one claw sprang forth, then suddenly Makoto knew what he was going to do and grinned. "OWWWUCHIEEE!" exclaimed Minako as she jumped out of bed suddenly awake. She rubbed her rear and glared at Artemis. "You wouldn't Wake up.." Explained the grinning feline. "Yes, you have to get ready Rei may be in trouble and we still have to go get Usagi!" put in Makoto as she helped Minako up. "Fine.. Fine, Let's go then. Girl can't get her beauty sleep it seems.." Complained Minako as she quickly got dressed. Soon after that Two girls and a small white cat finally made their way to the Tsukino household to get Usagi. Minako and Makoto told Artemis to wait outside while they spoke with Usagi's mother to which the cat agreed, annoyed as he was at having to wait outside. Then Minako giggled and Makoto grinned at Artemis's behavior as they ran up to the front door. "Now we have got to hurry or else we could be too late." Makoto spoke trying to remind Minako how important speed was at this time. "I understand let's get sleepy head up!" laughed Minako as she knocked on the Tsukino front door.

Black dark smoke clouds where still rising into the air as Ami Mizuno finally made it to the Hiwaka shrine, she tried to open the Shrine gates but discovered to her horror they were jammed. "Oh no!" exclaimed Ami. She shoved herself against the gate trying to knock them open to no avail. "I have got to get in there to help Rei and the others!" Ami spoke with determination. She set her school bags down carefully, She then studied the jammed gates for any thing that might help. Her intelligent mind buzzed with thoughts and ideas how to get the gates open, all of them however took to much precious time she didn't have. She then noticed a weak point in the gates and got a simple idea she hoped would pay off for the better and went for it. "I suppose I will just have to do this the Makoto way!" Ami said with a half smile, as she backed away a good distance from the gates and prepared herself. Then without thinking at all, Ami charged the temple gates and rammed herself against them. With loud bang sound they fell open and ami fell forward hitting the ground with a bump. She looked up with a smile and spoke. "Ha, That wasn't so hard." Then She saw her inside the gates, Ami looked across from her and saw Rei... She let out a gasp of shock then crawled to her. Rei lay on the ground beside the gates. Her body was burned all over badly, most of her hair was burned away. Her skin looked very dark and, dried blood was all over her mouth. Tears begin to fall from Ami's eyes as she tried to think of something to do for her fallen friend. "Who could do this.. to you?" spoke Ami softly. She held her close and checked to make sure she was still breathing. "Your still alive.. For that I'm thankful, we need to get you to a hospital though." Ami then glanced around for the others, before turning back to Rei's body. "Well, The others should be arriving soon, I hope your grandfather and Chad are okay as well." Ami smiled as she talked to her unconscious friend. " Don't worry we will get to the bottom of this together." Ami waited on them patiently, she gazed up at the cracked ash smitten temple steps sadly. So much Carnage was around her, she couldn't understand what could do this. She almost feared the worse that maybe Galaixa had returned but, Galaixa had been properly dealt with. That real enemy then was chaos, but what enemy were they facing now? Whatever he or she was they were strong. Very strong if they could have done this much damage to the temple, so easily it would seem as well. Ami's tactic mind kept working the possibilities of who it could be, when she felt Rei moan beside her. Ami Smiled down at her close friend in her lap. "It will be okay, I promise." Ami knew that Rei was a fighter and would eventually recover, Rei had always been a survivor as well. It seemed you had to be a survivor in the Senshi line of work They had been in so many battles and wars over the years. Each one of them giving their all for the fight to save their world. Ami knew through this would not be their final clash with the mysterious enemy that had attacked her friend and she knew she would have to prepare for it. The breeze blew Ami's short blue hair softly as she held her dear friend Rei hino in her arms, Smoke continued to rise from the temple grounds as she waited silently.

:claps: The story is getting good. I like the little details you added. I can't wait to read your next post Safire. ;D

It was a very sad afternoon at the Waiting Room of the Tokyo Hospital. Usagi Tsukino looked down, as she thought of where she had found Rei Hino laying beside her torn and tattered Shrine. She had tears in her eyes as she wept softly for her fallen friend. Across from her were Rei's closest friends Ami Mizuno, Makoto Kino, and Minako Aino. They were really her only friends in the world. Rei, Chad, and Rei's Grandfather had all been rushed to the hospital when the rest of the senshi had finally arrived to find Ami gently holding onto Rei's broken body. They brought Rei and her family in this morning and had waited to hear some news all afternoon. Ami had called in for them all, to tell their families and the school where they were. Usagi normally a crybaby and a klutz was now transformed into a compassionate, caring friend. Her blond pigtails lay against her sides softly as she cried. "Oh Rei, I'm so sorry. So very sorry." wept Usagi. Makoto gently lifted Usagi's chin and looked down at her. The normal tough girl had tears in her eyes as well. "It's not your fault Usagi, it's not your fault." "I know but I can't help these feelings." Spoke Usagi as she looked away. "We all feel bad for her." Put in Minako "Yes, What happen to Rei and the shrine was an evil deed indeed." Spoke Ami softly looking out the window. "But, I can assure you of one thing." Spoke Makoto suddenly narrowing her eyes, "Rei and her Family WILL be avenged!" Makoto had a cold determination in her eyes as she spoke the words to her friends, and they could sense her anxiety to get to the bottom of this. "I just hope Rei will be okay, and her family too." Said a very emotional Usagi and Ami nodded her head in agreement with her. Just then the door to the waiting room opened and out walked the doctor that had seen to Rei and her family. The doctor looked very grim as he walked to the four girls. His eyes lids were heavy with sleep and limped as he walked to them, he looked to be in his mid thirties. "Well, Good afternoon ladies." He spoke in greeting. "I am Dr. Lando, I have just finished having a look at all the patients you four have brought in.." Usagi was the first to react she immediately jumped up from the chair she was siting in. "Are they going to be okay Doctor!" She almost shouted. Makoto turned to the doctor and tensed up. Ami's hand covered her mouth as she looked on, even Minako reacted emotionally her eyes widened as she clenched her fists at the news. "Well, we have had mixed results.." Continued the Doctor slowly. "The young women has several injuries including the fact that she was badly burned, her arm is broken as well as several of her ribs. Aside from that however we think she is going to be okay." At his news everyone relaxed, there had been so much tension in the room because of Rei. Usagi let out a tear full smile at the doctor's words. "Thank you, Oh thank you!" She said looking up at him. Ami however remembered what he said. "You said mixed results, I suppose there is bad news isn't there..?" Dr. Lando sadly smiled at Ami, he nodded his head. "The young man has been electrocuted by some strange substance he should recover.." He continued. "Well, that's good news." Spoke Minako trying to be cheerful. the Doctor looked at Minako then "The elder man's condition is strange.. That is the what is troubling us.." "oh..?" said Makoto a bit curiously as guilty as she felt for being curious. " The doctor looked out the window as he explained the situation, "I have never seen any thing like it before, never in my history of the medical field." "What is it Dr.?" Asked Ami as she stood, everyone looked curious. "Well, how do I say this..? He elderly Man is dead, but... He is not Dead." "Wha?" said a stunned Minako. Everyone looked confused, even Ami who wanted to become a doctor someday. "His body is lifeless, but it's not decomposing. It's like he is in a frozen state, yet he has no pulse.. It seems although I know this sounds crazy but, It seems like he's lost something, some part of him and now all that is left is a shell." Dr. Lando shook his head not understanding it himself. "I know that sounded crazy. but I think ... oh never mind" He sighed then turned back to the girls. "The other two should regain consciousness in a few days, but they will have to remain here until they start to heal, I'm sorry but I think I need some sleep it has been a long afternoon." Having said that the Doctor then walked out leaving the girls alone in the waiting room. "It's not crazy." Said Ami breaking the silence, "Remember we have encountered something of this.. sort before." Makoto nodded her head in response as Minako's eyes narrowed. "You mean, the Pure Heart crystals.." Spoke Usagi coming to realize what they meant. "This Enemy seems to be going after peoples hearts.. their souls." Explained Ami rather logically. "So why take the old man's soul? Why not take Rei's soul? Or even Chad's?" Asked Makoto. "We will have to investigate. This sounds very serious, Maybe we should call for help from the Outer senshi?" thought aloud Minako. "NO!" put in Makoto almost shouting at her. Ami and Usagi looked at Makoto confused, As Minako glared at Makoto for shouting at her. "Oh.. I'm sorry Minako.. I didn't mean to yell at you, it's just... I want to Avenge Rei. I want to see this done personally." Apologized Makoto. "I understand it's okay." Minako smiled. "Well, dusk is coming on we should formulate a plan." Said Ami trying to keep them on task. Usagi then stood up and talked "Right, should we all four go search this creep out, whoever he is?" "No, we don't know what this person is capable of, you guys saw what this person did to Rei and her family." Minako put in. "What we need to do right now is to take the initiative and that's just what I'm gonna do!" Makoto spoke suddenly with a fire in her eyes as she walked to the door. She then turned back to the other three baffled girls. "I will take charge tonight. You three watch over Rei." With that being said Makoto marched out of the hospital with vengeance set in her eyes.

;D Once again great job on the story. I can't wait to find out what Makoto's actions are going to be. ;D

[Safire]

As Makoto stormed out of the hospital room three girls were left with their mouth's hanging open. They stared after her for a few minuets. It seemed Makoto had always been the quiet strong one of their group, but when she did loose her temper it could be very ugly. "Makoto.." Spoke Minako breaking the long silence that held after Makoto's departure, Ami sighed as Usagi nodded her head looking down sadly. All of them felt the same way, yet none of them could say it aloud. They were all worried for her safety, although none them except Rei would come out and say it. They all felt that this new threat may be to much for even Makoto to "Take Action!" as she always said. "What do we do now?" asked Usagi after a moment. "Well, I suppose one of us could go give her back up while the other two look after Rei?" Ami said somewhat reluctantly. "Makoto Back up? Are you crazy?" Minako said as a large sweat drop fell across her head. "Yeah I know Makoto, is.. not exactly weak.." Pleaded Usagi. "Well that may be true, but I still think that this may be too much for her.. I don't know I just have a bad feeling." Ami explained as she thought of a million places she would rather be doing then giving Makoto back up, one of them being getting ready for that math test she never got to take. "Well, I suppose one of us should go then." Said Minako looking out the window. "Yeah, but it's getting dark outside again.. And it's gets scary at night!" Minako shook her head at Usagi then looked at Ami. "I guess I wi..-" Minako began. "Noo. I will go Minako. I'm the one with the bad feeling after all. Don't worry, I don't mind. Usagi and you look after Rei and make sure her family gets better as well." Interrupted Ami suddenly. "Ami no not by yourself.." Usagi spoke up. " Don't worry I will be fine." Ami countered Usagi's fears not quite believing her words herself. "Are you sure..?" Minako turned from the window to look Ami in the eyes as she asked her. "Yes," Ami smiled as she responded, She then stood up. " Don't worry.. I will be fine I promise. Makoto is going to need help. My bad feeling is getting worse.. I just hope I'm not too late.. We'll I will be back soon. I promise." Ami said narrowing her small blue eyebrows before picking up her purse and heading out the hospital door. Minako sighed watching another friend leave as Usagi shouted a farewell. " Good luck Ami!" "Shush Usagi! Dont be ignorant! Rei is trying to sleep!" Spoke Minako. "Oh sorry.." Usagi apologized. "Well, Looks like it's Time for nurse Minako to take action again.. come on Usagi you can help me.." Minako spoke trying to cheer herself as well as Usagi up, with a familiar posse. "Yeah, with the two prettiest Senshi working together Rei will be on her feet on no time!" Needless to say it was to be a long night for Rei, even if she was assleep.

As Makoto made her way through the city and Ami left the hospital , another being began to go on a mission ironically of a similar nature. The last light of the fading sunset began to disappear and a familiar cloaked figure took to the skies on another search. The young fiend that had attacked Sailor Mars and the Shrine, had been sent out on an errand just like the one the night before. Only this time the objective was to scout ahead for an another trinket, it seemed the one he had found the night before had been of some value. The strange female warrior he had defeated could possibly have allies with similar abilities, in which case he was to take them out and their pen's. It made no difference to him as he silently flew in the sky, His burning eyes shining out once more. He was a hunter after all, whether in the open or stealthily he could infiltrate any area. Silently He landed down on the solid cement, he had already flown deep in the city. His eyes flashed around for anyone watching, but there was no one. He turned now down the street as his black cloak came flapping behind him. He pulled his black hood over his thick dark brown hair as he continued walking. He began to formulate a plan for this particular hunt, the darkness inside him was eager to carry out his mission. He thought of what sort of bait would be approbate for tonight's hunt, it would be a human definitely, most likely a young human as well would be best. Someone easy to intimidate, but as the dark young man thought about it everyone was intimidated by his presence. As the figure continued looking for a victim he spotted a young girl coming out of an apartment building, the girl by her actions and appearance was taking out the garbage for the night. He studied her from where he stood watching her silently, She looked about thirteen and had shining black hair. She was perfect for this operation, he couldn't ask for a better victim. The dark fiend then arose into the air and flew forward at the young girl, she had her back turned to him as she opened the garbage can. She never had a chance, He swept her up in one motion and applied electrical damage to her forehead purposeful knocking her unconscious for now. Next, the fiend then looked around trying to think of the best place for a trap for his prey, it didn't take him long to think of the best place at this time of night. Then off he went into the air once more to prepare for another female warrior like the one before, this would be easy indeed. He was a hunter after all and the darkness in his soul only drove the lust further..
