Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Green? How about just a general, blinding white. xD))
"It's midnight.... Alright, I hope you are all ready, because I'm lighting the place." She smirked silently and every shadow that had previously been in the palace disappeared. "Let's see him try and sneak around if there's no shadows to sneak around in."

Sensing the light coming, Lone closed his eyes as the blinding light passed him. Blinking several times as his eyes readjusted to the light, he turned his head to look at an area that was once in shadows. "Predictable." He placed his hand on the wall, seeing that he was unable to do a few things. "Guess it's time to begin."

Lone stepped out of the bathroom area and peered around the corners of the door way. Lucky for him, most of the security detail was outside, guarding the entry ways for his arrival. To bad for them that he had been inside for a while now. Closing his eyes and 'feeling' the Silver Crystal, he opened his eyes again and smirked. "Oh Sa~ilors. Come out come out where ever you are." He chuckled to himself as he gripped the handle of his Mugen Sword, pulling it out of its protector. As he swung the weapon up in front of him, it turned into a Scythe again. Resting the length of the metal bar on his shoulder, he began to mumbled a chant to himself as he was making his way to the location of the Senshi.

"Long have you waited for him... A Monster from the past, taking shape once more... Returning from the darkness... The waiting has ended, but your fear? It is just beginning."

"So I noticed." She rolled her eyes and amped up the lighting a bit. "Maybe I can blind him out?" Lucis was waiting as long as possible to get into any form of a fighting stance, instead turning to Usagi. "I hope your scouts are coming fast, 'cause I'm not sure who's going to make it here first."

-The Grand Hall of the Crystal Palace-

As Lone had reached the grand hall, he was blinded by the amped source of light. "Seriously... This light is annoying me." Just at the other end of the grand hall was the stair case that lead to the King and Queens sleeping quarters. "I've meet them half way. And I'm sure that 'Light' User is being strained by the energy she is using to make this."

-Neptune's Mirror-
As the image of Lone was focused into the mirror, an ominous woman's voice echoed out silently to Neptune. "...Neptune... ...Won't you come back to me..." The Lone in Neptune's mirror turned it's head to look directly into Neptune's eyes. A red glow started to form in the 'Lone's' eyes that forced Neptune into only focusing on them. "...I gave you power... ...Power to destroy your enemies with... ...All you had to do then was obey my orders... ...I'll give you that chance again... ...Surrender yourself to my 'pet', and I will give you that power again... ...Enough that you can even defeat the Moon Prince..." This voice became recognizable after a while. It was Chaos's voice.

As Chaos continued to play with Neptune's head, the 'Lone' in the mirror reached out with his hand towards Neptune. Slowly, pure black female finger tips started to come through the mirror before the whole hand was now through. "...Return to me Sailor Neptune... ...Regain your former dark powers again..." The hand continued to extend slowly to Neptune's face.

-The Grand Hall-
Lone sighed as he was becoming irritated by the light. "Alright then." Lone swung the Scythe down towards the ground, shoving the blade through the crystal flooring. He began to take several deep breathes before taking in a larger breath. Yelling out as loud as he could in a roar like yell, his body tensed up tightly as he was beginning to burn off his dark energy, distorting the light around him. As the energy was erupting out of his whole body, a black wave also erupted out of his body, moving against the floor, the walls, and the ceiling. It was the same trick he had done early, only now, as the darkness moved against the walls, floor, and ceiling, it was expanding, and devouring the light. As it 'ate' the light, it would continue to expand.

Lone took in a deep breath again, and slowing his breathing down as he stood up straight. Reaching for the metal pole of his scythe, he ripped the crystal flooring up as he removed his scythe. Now, he was ready, and able to see again. Starring at the door at the top of the stair case, he once again took in a deep breath and roared his words at it, knowing they would hear him, "COME OOOOOOOOUT!!!!!"

Of course Lucis knew right away that someone was messing about with her lighting, so her first reaction was to want to brighten it more. She didn't get the chance to however as something seemed to be destroying any light around. "Kuso!" And then Usagi stepped outside before she could grab her. "Kal'drystz damn him!" She grabbed her own locket and also stepped up next to Sailor Moon. "What, you thought I'd break a promise and leave you to fight by yourself? Watashi wa Sera Sun, Kouken no Etanaru Hoshi soshite Tenshi no Tsuriai!"
((Translation: "I am Sailor Sun, Guardian of the Eternal Star and Angel of the Balance!"))

((I was waiting for Sailor Pretty's post since she still has a chance to save Neptune if she wanted to. So, sorry Michiru, gonna have to wait a bit.))

Lone watched as Sailor Moon, Serenity, made her appearance, which was then followed by Sailor Sun's appearance. "Moon and Sun... An interesting combination." He muttered to himself. He glanced around where they stood, surprised no one else was coming.

"I don't care what you stand for, nor do I care for the lack of people who have come to this battle." Lone thrusts his hand forward and points to the two at the top of the stair case. "But I'm insulted by the fact that you two hope to stop me in what you think is enough power that you two have gained through combat!" Lone calmed his voice and continued. "...No. There is no need for words now. All that is left is to show you by force that you have no chance to defeat me, ...or my Master, Sailor Chaos!"

Lone pointed at Sailor Sun and yelled, "SUN! I went easy on you during our fight only just hours ago! I'll tell you right now, I was only using 7% of my abilities! If you do not wish to truly DIE this time, back out of this fight ...RIGHT NOW!"

Lone's finger moved from pointing at Sun, to now Sailor Moon. "SERENITY! I don't know how or why Sailor Chaos couldn't defeat you 1000 years ago when she was in control of Sailor Galaxia, and I don't really care either! But the truth is, I can't kill you either, at least, not for now! If you do not wish for your Sailors to become casualties of battle, SURRENDER YOUR SELF THIS INSTANT!!!"

Lowering his hand to his side and closing his eyes, Lone said calmly at first, "If you don't co-operate with my demands this instant..." Lone's eyes opened and his eyes were as violent as his roaring voice, "I WILL SHOW YOU A HELL THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ESCAPE FROM!!!"

Sailor Sun was quick to reply to Lone's threat's and accusations with a glare and a snarling retort. "I'm not afraid to die! Besides, you fought me without me having transformed before. I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve than that!" Her glare went soft and turned sad as she continued, "Besides, I made a promise, and I don't want to have my daughter get roped into it in my stead!" Even though Lone had just destroyed her weapon a few hours previous, the naginata once again answered her call, coming to her hand. "Stop making empty threats!" She spotted Sailor Moon throwing her tiara, so she added to the attack, aiming a blast of light with the tiara.
