A Carnival in Darkness: Part 56

"Beautiful absolutely beautiful! I could never get tired of watching Raven sing and dance." Sailor Moon was happy and couldn't wait to see what dress Raven will wear next and what song he will sing.

Sailor Pluto left the screen there for That Man and everyone to see. She could sense the fear and reluctance to rescue Raven so she decided to try a plan of her own. Sailor Pluto uses her time staff to have Sephiroth teleported to the senshi palace next to Raven where she hopes he could somehow be successful in helping Raven. However she could see that the senshis and duelists were furious in anger to see Sephiroth. The dragons attacked Sephiroth and they wanted to kill him for trying to take away their Raven.

Boss hamster makes sure that his hat was on right and that his whiskers were straight as it was his turn to have his picture taken with Axl. What a great day it is for this hamster to finally meet their favorite singer. Cappy dances happily after he got his picture taken with Axl and an autograph. "We should all dance for Axl. Let's show him how happy hamsters dance." Hamtaro immediately starts dancing for Axl to show him how happy he was for the autograph. Hamtaro dances with all the other hamsters for Axl hoping that Axl will like their dancing. This time it was the hamsters and not Axl that was doing the dancing.

Watching the screen, Charlie sees what looks like hundreds of duel monster dragons attack Sephiroth and he shivers just watching. "Now we know that if any of us interferes we would end up dead too."

Ken looks at That Man as now he was scared to help Raven too, everyone was scared at how the dragons were attacking Sephiroth. "I am too scared to go through with this. At least Raven looks like he is being loved a lot and treated like a star."

********************

"Raven the Vega slave is ours! Send the intruder back to where he came from!" Sailor Mars orders the duel monsters to take Sephiroth out of the senshi palace. She is unhappy becuase this is a waste of valuable singing and dancing time for Raven. Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter along with every other senshi in the palace hugged the ball with Raven in it to make sure that Raven would not be take away. They have plans for Raven to dance and sing for all eternity.

The Egyptian Gods and the Sacred Beasts immediately attacked the intruder Sephiroth. They were very angered and held nothing back as they protected their Raven entertainment. Uria tried to find the portal where the intruder came from to push him back. They were all very angry that Raven had stopped singing and dancing because of the intruder. "Keep that evil demon away from our Vega slave! Raven belongs to us and will stay here forever and every. There are so many songs and dresses that I have prepared for the Vega slave." Sailor Saturn holds her glaize tightly as she guarded the ball that Raven was in.

The collar on Sephiroth that Sailor Pluto placed was preventing him from using any magic but he was able to hold off the Yu-Gi-Oh duel monsters off with his sword. Sephiroth suddenly got an idea in his head that just might help if he could convince the senshis and duelists that he was not here to rescue Raven then maybe they would be off guard while he somehow finds a way to rescue Raven out of here. Sephiroth was lucky enough to swipe one of the time keys that he could use later to teleport himself and Raven out if he could just get the chance to get close enough to Raven. "I'm not here to take Raven away from you. I'm here to listen to Raven sing and laugh at how silly he looks dancing in a dress. Before I was thrown here even That Man thought that Raven looks silly."

********************

"DEAR GOD MAN, NOT YOU TOO!?" Raven screamed when he heard what Sephiroth had to say, dropping to his knees inside of the ball as he was shaking with anger. "Ano Otoko...Even you're laughing at me...? GAHHH What have these stupid senshi reduced me to!? A carnival attraction!?" Raven would say as he was seething with anger.

Standing up inside of the ball as they'd all see the dress melting away and his body reverting back to it's original stony and spiky form, before they'd see it start to crack, like something had literally been hidden inside of himself.

Pieces falling off to reveal a slimmer and more human-like Raven beneath all the stone, resembling Axl Low but with green skin. Holding his hand out, a steel mask with an eye-hole covered with a gold coin would appear. Slipping it on as it fit perfectly to accept the spike on his forehead through it.

His body now covered in a Victorian style gothic tuxedo and cape, green flames starting to fill the inside of the ball as he was going to go crazy on all of them for as long as he could before getting shoved inside of another ball.

Trying to burn his way out with all of his anger.

That Man would be watching solemnly with a smirk on his lips as he saw what Raven was doing, unleashing his true form to try and break through all of the senshi magic.

"Looks like my servant can take no more abuse from these senshi..." That Man would say as he looked around and took a few steps back to let everyone else get an even better look as Raven unveiled his true form beneath all of that stony gray skin.

Axl'd be paying no attention to what was going on as I-no and the Unknown Magician who worked with That Man also came to look at the hamsters while Axl was petting them and taking pictures with them.
