Contary to most beliefs, the entrance to the D-Point didn't exactly fit the description of the 'gates of hell'. Instead, it was an ice grotto out in the middle of the artic wastes with nothing to indicate where it led. No demonic sigils, no black portals of energy, no youma guards, nothing. A detail that sent the recently gated group on edge.
"Are you sure this is the right place? It seems just a little too easy." Ranma said as Shelia tightned her grip on the Ice Fang.
"Positive, we should be right on top of the entrance." Tuxedo Kamen said as the group proceeded into a large chamber.
"How right you are, old friend." a cold voice rang out from behind them as the group spun around, seeing a were in human form garbed in a dark general's uniform all too familiar to Usagi and Marmou.
"Jadite." Marmou growled, unconsiciously shifting to his hybrid form.
"Mr. Chiba and Ms. Tuskino. Surprised to see me?" Jadite asked, his self serving smirk never leaving his face.
"Not really. I take it you're Claudus' head lacky?" Ranma asked, shifting into a fighting stance.
"I seen nothing gets by that over-hyped fortune teller. As for the lacky coment, I'll let that slide, for you see Claudus set me free. Made me a whole new man, so to speak. Tell me, how does it fell to become the very things you once swore to destroy?"
"Vile fiend! In the name of love and justice we sha..." Sailor Moon said as she started into one of her trademark speeches before Jadite cut her off with a dismissive snort.
"Shut. Up." he mearly said as Usagi went silent in shock. No-body interrupted her speeches, it just wasn't done! "Unlike you and your idiotic ideals, I actually have a clear purpose."
"Which is?" Dr. Diggers asked wairly as Jadite's smirk grew to astronomical porportions.
"You can say that I am the Alpha..."
"...to your Omega." One of Jadite's thralls said, phasing out of the shadows as several others joined him. "The beginning...." another group said.
"To your END!" Jadite shouted as group massed rushed them, quickly putting Dr. Diggers, Marmou, Usagi, Ranma and Shela on the defensive. As Ranma blocked an ax kick from one of the thralls followed by a judo throw of one trying to strangle him from behind, the feeling he had in the pit of his stomach grew to astronomical porportions as he fell the aura's of the thralls, finding out that instead of basic people, these had the aura's of professional fighters and killers. Just then, he knew they had walked right into a trap.
