My thanks to @@Valtz for writing some of and proof reading this mess!
"With a new Priestess to serve me and maybe even start me down a path to restore my previous wide spread existence in the minds of mortals, I returned her to the manor proper to get settled in and introduce herself to Poppy and notify Cherie that this time, I was taking matters into my own hands, and not to worry nor be upset that she wasn't properly doing her job as my head of security. Besides, these 'Sailor Scouts' were on a level that far exceeded her, Candice, Cream and Bubblegum; I wouldn't put them at risk against those that did have powers able to harm them or do lasting damage that would send even Misha into a panicked frenzy trying to help.
With a snap of my fingers, the room I had trapped Sailor Mars in ceased to exist, and I found myself in my library. It was rather good fortune I recently had someone willingly join my staff to keep track of every book and scroll I had ever amassed within, from common knowledge to spells to history, I was proud my collection had so much. But sometimes, that made keeping track of it all hard... Thankfully, I had a maid to solve that. "Vixy! I need your help with something!" A few minutes, and the sound of a ladder rolling along its track later, my librarian popped up at the front desk I had installed.
She gracefully bowed as she stepped up to the desk, before looking up at me, a book in arms as she often had since starting her service under me. "How may I serve you Master?"
"Ah, hard at work as ever, I see." I walked over and patted the kitten on her head, barely shifting her hat as I did so. "I need to know more about the Sailor Scouts. Fetch me some scrying and history materials, please."
"As you command, Master." With a wave of her arm, a pitch black claw came from the ground beneath the desk, a show of the magic she possessed long before meeting me. And handed me the materials I needed and more. "I had expected something like this may happen after I felt you come back with company in tow. So I prepared some materials in advance. Though I'm still not used to using them myself."
I smiled in pride. "Well, I'm glad you had been expecting I'd have had need, Vixy! Thank you. And not to worry, my apprentice, you have more than abundant time on your paws to learn and practice." I took the materials I needed to cast the spells I'd need, and walked to an open table. In a few minutes, I had learned every detail of the Sailor Scouts I needed to make things much easier on myself. Of it all, I learned I would need to deal with Sailor Venus next. She had experience on her side, and that made her the most dangerous right now. "Thank you for your help, Vixy. I'm going to resume dealing with the intruders."
Vixy gave me a little curtsy. "I am always glad to assist you, Master. Please come again." In moments, I had joined the Sailor Scout of Love in her little prison; just one look around, I saw the walls scorched by her lasers and scored by her chains. I had only JUST opened my mouth to speak when a blast of force struck me in the back, throwing me into a wall; based on the heart shape scorch that was left as I fell back to the floor, I had just been struck by her 'Love & Beauty Shock', a sentiment I didn't exactly see either of. More than that, it HURT. God or not, pain is pain, and that had a LOT of power behind it to leave me stunned.
"I don't know who you serve, or what slimy corner of the Negaverse you came from, but I, Sailor Venus, will call the judgement of love upon you !" That. That right there, the clear cut definition I was evil, just because I existed. And just because she had the power of love on her side, she was automatically in the right. Just like THEY were in the right to tear me apart, scatter my very self like snow, and trap me in this prison alone.
My temper normally is well managed, due to the damage I can cause. But her words made me SNAP.
I... Admit, much as it shames me, I kind of blacked out at that moment. When I had at last calmed and became aware again, the entire room had been decimated; I could feel the edges begging to snap and tear apart, to let this threat lose in my home and upon my maids. And what REALLY annoyed me was that I seemed to be the one who had taken all the damage and abuse, while she was only a little dirty and panting! My nerves begged me to see Misha, to heal myself and come back later. But that smug smile she had, fueled by her ego... I couldn't stand it. "Man, I have to admit! For Negascum, you can take a pounding!"
I clenched a fist, hand trembling. "I simply paid for a sweet I had never had before, was lucky to visit Tokyo in the Spring when the cherry blossoms were in bloom, and JUST because I took offense to being spied on, I'M the bad guy in this situation?!! For someone that wants to become an idol and inspire thousands, your EGO is already large enough to swallow Russia!" She was taken aback, recoiling as if I had slapped her. "Wait... How do you know that?!" Now it was my turn to turn the tide of our battle, not with magic or brawn, but psychology. "Because before I came in here, I studied who you are and everything you've done, Minako Aino."
She took a step back, not noticing I had gathered the energies she had used in our battles to reform her 'Love Me Chain' behind her. "How did you..?" *I stood up a bit taller, rubbing my side where one of her attacks clearly hit me hardest; the pain said so. "Because I'm not of this 'Negaverse' you have accused me of. I am a sealed God, who JUST wanted to enjoy his first Dango and Japan in spring, that you attacked and even dared to enter the home of with clear intent to harm. Say what you want in your defense, but just remember; you cast the first stone. But it won't be a stone that ends this." With a flick of my finger, the chain lashed out and bound her."
