A/N: Timeline wise this takes place after the end of the Sailor V manga, a brilliant read btw. I actually prefer it to Sailor Moon. So Ace is dead and Mina remembers everything. Nobody else but the cats know anything.

Standard Disclaimers Apply.

Prologue

"You don't know when to give up do you? Normally I'd find that attractive but you're just annoying!" She was taunting but really, she was tiring out. She'd been transformed as Sailor V for over half a day now and this guy was fighting her near constantly for almost half that. Usually this would only mean she'd be sleeping in class tomorrow but this time she was beginning to get worried.

It's not like this monster-of-the-week was especially strong. She was Sailor V, nothing can beat her. The problem was that he wasn't the only monster of this week. Ugly McGravityMaster was actually the ninth and it was only Thursday. She'd only gotten about four hours of sleep collectively and she was starting to feel it. Not to mention her compact was running out of juice.

"I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, V. YOU CAN'T HOLD OUT MUCH LONGER CAN YOU?" This fight might have gone much better if this bastard was easier on the eyes. Like Ace. Okay maybe not as hot as him. Hot enough to ogle but not enough to regret killing.

"I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, V. AND THAT WAS VERY HURTFUL." Great, now she felt bad too. Artemis was trying to help with her habitual shallowness but it was slow going, not because of any resistance on her part mind you. She would have a larger pool of lovers to choose from if she could look past the surface, after all.

"I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, V. AND THAT IS VERY ADMIRABLE. EVEN IF IT'S FOR ODD REASONS..." Minako has officially had enough of this. "I don't need your praise! V KICK!"

The eight foot humanoid abomination tumbled back but caught himself before he fell off the radio tower. It was a very strange sight to see a giant purplish black monster getting tossed around by a barely five foot girl but that made for quality TV. And there was TV. Plenty of it. All around. Mina was loving it.

"You just got your ass handed to you by a little girl on national TV." Minako posed for the cameras and the people below who couldn't really see. The one's who used binoculars were far more interested in the unique view from below. "YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE GETTING EMBARRASSED. I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE THINKING DOWN THERE, V. YOU SHOULD WEAR BICYCLE SHORTS UNDER THAT SKIRT."

Mina blushed and tried to rescue what was left of her modesty but it was obviously too late. Deciding she had nothing left to lose but this fight, Minako decided to end this, go home and visit the Sporting goods store on the way.

"I'm done. Gimme five minutes." It only took two.

The scene was classic. Sailor V stood victoriously over her opponent hanging off the edge of the tower. "Give up. I've won." The monster chuckled even though it was only hanging on thanks to its weakened gravity power. "I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, V. YOU THINK YOU'VE WON." "Yeah, duh. I told you. 'I won' to your face." But he continued unperturbed. "BUT I'VE GOT YOU RIGHT WHERE I WANT YOU."

It looked like obvious posturing in the face of defeat but the senshi had too many fights to take that chance. Immediately, she threw herself to the right, narrowly dodging the portal that formed in her former position.

"I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, V. WHAT IS THIS? IT'S A PORTAL TO THE DARK KINGDOM. MY HOME." Thank you, . So this was their plan. Weaken her to the point of exhaustion and toss her into the dark kingdom when her guard was down to finish her with the home field advantage. "Nice try, you bastards. But you overestimated how tired I've gotten. CRESCENT SLENDER BEAM!"

With sudden speed, the monster dodged the beam and jumped into the portal. His laughter was amplified through the portal. "I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, V. BUT YOU'RE WRONG. THE POINT OF WEAKENING YOU WASN'T TO LOWER YOUR GUARD. BUT TO LOWER YOUR DEFENCE AGAINST THIS! BLACK HOLE TWISTER!"

Through the portal Minako could see a black ball appear in front of the monster and felt an immense strength pulling her towards it. She managed to grab onto the tower but it was useless, the entire tower was twisting, pulled towards and through the portal.

Distantly she could hear Artemis crying for her and was a little happy that he was saying Minako and not Sailor V. That small detail meant the world to her. "ARTIE! Get back and save those guys in the helicopters!" If they stayed in the air, they would get sucked in too so she had to something about them.

Smirking, she decided to start the plan like usual. With a bang. "Y'know? You idiots in the Dark Kingdom really screwed up with this! I've been hunting you bastards for years all over the world and here you go and open the front door for me! Red carpet and everything! You know what they say. If you do not enter the tiger's cave, you will not get the tiger meat!

"ARTEMIS! SORRY BUT I'M GONNA GO OUT FOR A BIT! I'LL BE BACK SOON!" Silently, she added so only the cat could hear, "Thanks for everything you've done for me. You're the best best friend ever.

"CRESCENT BOOMERANG!" Minako threw it at the helicopters as she leapt at the portal, the entire radio tower following at her heels. The attack broke off the rotor mast of both choppers and flew in the portal after its owner.

"MINAKO!" Artemis howled but was soon occupied with saving the idiots in the plane who were still filming for some god awful reason, even when a crying white cat was lifting like all six of them at once with its mouth. Idiots.

"The helicopters! They're getting sucked in!" One of them cried out and true enough, the falling copters were now defying gravity, pulled upwards towards the black hole. Or as what science Artemis could remember was telling him, it was simply obeying an even stronger gravity. Being further away and having less mass saved Artemis and his cargo.

The same couldn't be said for the radio tower, which was almost completely swallowed up by the portal. What little was yet to be consumed was a mangled mess of metal. Thankfully, the black hole meant that no debris would fall on the quickly dispersing crowd below.

"Goddamnit. I don't think our insurance covers 'sucked up by a black hole'." The cameraman lamented but continued to film and the one from the other station laughed. "Sucks to be you. I checked ours and it says it does cover black holes."

"Both of you shut up! If this is a real black hole, we're all fucked." A reporter chastised and Artemis had to agree. But if he knew Minako and he did, no does, she would take care of it.

"VENUS LOVE MEGATON SHOWER!"

A bright light exploded out of the portal and promptly closed it, cutting off the black hole's effect. Fortunately this saved everyone in the area and what was still standing of the radio tower. Unfortunately this also meant the debris that was being sucked towards the portal was free to fall on anyone stupid enough to hang around after everything that happened. Sadly, this was a dishearteningly large amount of people.

Screams and chaos ensued soon after and Artemis wasn't fast enough to save everybody but that loss didn't even register till a while later.

Right now, he was mourning the loss of his best friend.

A/N: You might've guessed but this is an AU where Sailor V was sucked into the Dark Dimension on live TV way before Usagi even met Luna. This causes a.. few changes to the timeline. More on that next chapter.. If you wanna find out, review and tell me you do.

Mina being the primary cause for the change makes her important but every senshi is heavily involved. Inner and Outer.

Just so you know, the changes don't mean they're OOC. I'm trying my best to keep them as close to the original as possible, a mix of the manga and anime. For the sake of comedy, however, none of them are gonna act all cool and stoic all the time like they usually do.
