Sesshomaru unsheathed the Tessaiga and stared down at the neatly bisected form of Jaken. Could this worthless sword really defeat Death itself? He had never really considered that it had that much power, but Jaken was essentially worthless, so if it couldn't revive him there was no great loss.
He was just about to swing when a strange light engulfed him, transporting him through space and time.

Mistress 9 exulted in her new power as she used the Heart Crystal of Hotaru's best friend to fully take control over the sickly girl and remold her body to one more fitting a daimon of her status, second only to Master Pharoah 90! Now she would take the Holy Grail from those insipid Sailor Senshi, truly the only one of them with real power was Sailor Saturn, who commanded the Silence itself. And Sailor Saturn belonged to her, body and soul!
She turned her attention to the daimon Germatos, the one possessing Hotaru's father, and was about to give her instructions when she was engulfed in a strange light and taken to a dimension far removed from both Earth and her home of Tau Ceti.

Knives smirked at the devastation he had just caused, and that was only using a fraction of the power of the Angel Arms. "With these, we can cleanse this world of the humans." he spoke to his twin brother.
Vash quivered with rage and shock. How could Knives be so blase after commiting such a monstrous act? He may have abhorred ever harming another, but Vash couldn't let this stand! Firming his resolve, he aimed the gun which he had just been given at his brother, only to blink in shock as Knives disappeared in a flash of strange light.

Clef swallowed and tried to remain calm. Master Mage of Cephiro he may be, but he had just summoned three incredibly powerful and undeniably evil beings to his world. At least, he reflected wryly these ones shouldn't have any problem killing Emeraude-hime. But he wasn't entirely confident that these 'Magic Knights' would confine themselves to just slaying the pillar.
Sesshomaru quickly noted his new surroundings, seeing that two of the three people now present with him seemed confused, while the third looked expectant but nervous as he looked between the three. That one looked to be a mage, and didn't seem entirely human, though he was certainly no youkai... in fact, a cursory examination of youki in the area showed that was true of the other two as well. Obviously this mage had seen fit to summon them to this place somehow, although to summon a youkai of Sesshomaru's power without the proper wards was arrogance bordering on suicidal.
"For what reason have you summoned this Sesshomaru to this place?" He calmly asked the short mage, deciding to give him at least a few minutes to live unless he actually managed to catch Sesshomaru's interest.
Mistress 9 looked around franticly, stretching her magical senses to the limit. This was all wrong! She couldn't sense Master Pharoah 90 at all! Even seperated across the countless light years between Earth and Tau Ceti, even hidden in the back of Hotaru Tomoe's mind, she had always felt the oppressive weight of her Master bearing down on the back of her mind. To lose that was to remove one of the very foundations of her world!
Looking around, she noted three other people, who she quickly ascertained were not human, as she could sense no Heart Crystals in any of them. They weren't daimons either, of that she was certain, but what were they?
The floating islands in the sky also indicated this was not Earth. This was not good, how could she bring the Silence without the Holy Grail, which was on Earth in the possession of Sailor Moon. Her carefully laid plans had just been ruined by this unexpected removal from her old plane of existence
Hearing the one-armed silver-haired man addressing the smaller man, she turned her attention to them and determined that he must be responsible for her current state. "Speak quickly, worm, and you had best have a way to return me to Earth, or I shall destroy you." she added her two cents to the discussion.
Knives was the most contemplative as he took in his new surroundings. This place was beautiful! Was this like the 'Earth' that Rem had spoken of in her silly stories? If Earth truly was like this, then he despised the humans even more for destroying paradise. They truly were a cancer on the universe.
He examined the three people in the clearing with him. Something felt... off about each of them. They weren't Plants, yet he was certain they weren't human either. Most interesting.
"I am also curious as to why I have been brought here." Knives asked, eyeing Clef suspiciously. Just because the small man/child wasn't human, did not necessarily mean he was any better.
