A Sailor Moon Fanfiction: The Pledge of the Sun.

Chapter 77

"Usagi, take it easy, would you?" Harusuke sighed. "You're throwing a tantrum over a potato."

"Besides, you should be ashamed of yourself trying to grab a child's food right out of her mouth," Minako scolded.

"But she didn't do a lick of work! All she did was scatter the leaves around! Usagi countered. "Besides, it's too big for her!"

But Usagi was wrong, for right then, Chibiusa soon finished the potato in a matter of seconds, much to the ordango blonde's surprise. Then, when Chibiusa swallowed, she rudely burped right in Usagi's face, which caused Usagi to let go of her out of disgust after getting a strong whiff of her breath. Now Usagi was very angry. The two ran around Hikawa Shrine, Usagi desperately trying to catch Chibiusa out of revenge.

"Chibiusa! Why, you little brat!" Usagi roared. "That was not only gross but that was supposed to be mine!"

"Can't catch me!" Chibiusa mocked as she ran. "Catch me if you can!"

Everyone could only watch the two chase each other, exasperated and annoyed.

Back in the UFO, Petz and Calaveras watched the scene from above, feeling disgusted.

"I don't believe this!" Petz seethed as she pounded the mirror with her fist, cutting off the feed. "As the Black Moon Clan's elite Spectre Sister, it's appalling to see how far the youngest of us have fallen!"

"Are we just going to ignore those two, Petz?" wondered Calaveras. "They not only have disgraced us, but we could end up losing our credibility too."

Rubeus then appeared. "Exactly, which is why I'm extremely disappointed that two of the Spectre Sisters have betrayed our clan," he said crossly. "It's completely unacceptable. Why did you two allow that to happen? Surely, you two didn't think you could get off scot-free?"

"It's not our fault!" protested Calaveras. "We had nothing to do with it!"

"Master Rubeus, let me assure you that we're nothing like our foolish younger sisters," said Petz. "We will eliminate them along with the Rabbit and the Guardians!"

Rubeus rose a brow interest. "Oh? You sure seem confident, Petz. Are you sure that you and Calaveras can?"

"Yes, we can!" assured Petz.

Calaveras was surprised, not expecting Petz to speak for the two of them. "But Petz, wait a minute-!"

But Rubeus cut her off. "Very good. In that case, allow me to present you both with some gifts."

He then snapped his fingers, and the black ball of energy he had received before floated downwards shrank to a small size and stopped just in front of Petz. It then dissipated, revealing a strange wand. It was a rod with a crystal ball on top, the rod being purple with a yellow line wrapped around it, and in the ball was a green gem, like the one the droids had.

"What is this?" wondered Petz curiously.

"It's a special wand that will prove quite useful to you," said Rubeus. "It will amplify your dark powers tenfold. Its power comes from Prince Demande himself. Use it to eliminate the Rabbit, the Guardians, and your two traitorous sisters. If you fail, don't bother coming back. Understood?"

Calaveras was worried, but Petz spoke again before she could object.

"Understood!" Petz acknowledged. "We won't fail you, Rubeus."

"Very well, then. I wish you luck," Rubeus said as he disappeared into the darkness.

When he was gone, Calaveras looked across to Petz,
