It was all too perfect.  Serenity here with out her Senshi, without her guard or her
advisors, only one Tiger.  She laughed as she moved her hands around her.  She had done
everything to set things in motion.  She would release the darkness on this Earth with the
help of its Guardians.. it was all too perfect!
    "My lady!" Taurus cried as he ran to her.
    She smiled like the Cheshire Cat.  "Tuarus..."  She said smoothly, her voice sweeet.
    "My lady!" He bowed.  "Please forgive me.  I have not retrieved Gorn Nova.  But Gordon
tricked me.  He is more powerful than we thought.  I thought you should know of this before
we acted further."
    "He crafted a perfect likeness of you.  And she was not a simple image.  She was of
flesh, and she too could cast powerful magics."
    She snapped, her voice become that of the witch within her, "You have failed me,
Taurus.  I do not take kindly to failures, even from those as good to me as you..."
    "You let that imposter Moon brat confuse you and because of it I do not have my sword!"
She bellowed.
    "PISCES!"
    "I-yes my lady.  I have.  I seek only your forgiveness, and a chance to redeem myself.
Let me fight Gabriev again!"
     A women of similar features to her appeared.  "Sister, it seems taurus can not do away
with Gabriev on his own..."
    "You will go with him, and you, Tuarus will destroy Gabriev. and you Pisces will bring
the imposter to me!"
    Then Lady Cora calmed and laughed sweetly.... "Better yet, bring them both to me.. I
will enjoy turning the Dragon King to our side, and watch Serenity suffer when I kill him."
    "Taurus you may be able to redeem yourself after all.  Now.. bring them to me!"
    "Yes my lady.  I shall take Gabriev...alive."
    "Ahh.. don't sound so dissapointed love, once we take him, we can torture him.. why kill
a man once when you can torture him forever.."
    "Yes, my lady.  It is a pleasure and an honor to do your bidding."
    She purred and stroked his cheek.  "Now what are you waiting for?"
    "Sister.. "  Pisces interrupted.
    "What is it!"  She snapped, turning away from Taurus.
    "Why not send the Gemini as well?"
    Lady Cora beamed.  "I knew you would be good for something someday."
    She turned to Taurus. "Take all the Zodiac, I want them.."  Her voice was sweet,
hypnotic and smooth, "I want them both here.."
    "Yes, my lady." He smiled.  He scowled as he turned to Pisces.  "Well, let's get going."

    Pisces smiled as they left.   Lady Cora sat back down and drummed her nails on the arm
of her chair.
    "Perfect.. just perfect.  By the time he remembers she'll already be gone and I will
have taken her place.."
