"So you're telling me that I've got to go find the source of this problem." I asked, "Just what the hell is powerful enough to freeze time, and just what exactly can I do against something like that! I had a hard enough time against those Memoria for christ sake!"

"Oh trust us Marcia, this is nothing you can't handle but understand one thing." Luna paused for a moment, "You must keep this situation a secret, the Memoria are a bigger threat than you possibly realize but if another person finds out about the Memoria and Betrayal then if could cause all sorts of disasters."

"I get it Luna." I sighed, "So I guess I'd have to hide my face then?"

"If it helps put on an act to avoid suspicion." Luna recommended,

"Well in that case I better get going." I knelt down to my daughter, "Now Sunshine can you be good for Princess Luna, I'll be back as soon as I'm done." Sunshine nodded,

"Trust us she'll be in good hands." Luna reassured, as she snapped her fingers a portal to the human world opened, "Now go on through the portal, and remember we'll be watching you."

I stepped through the portal, back into the human world putting my hood up to hide my face and what I returned to was nothing I expected to be.

The sky was frozen at the midnight hour, the moon...our moon was full in the sky illuminating the streets below. People...no ponies who were still out in this hour were frozen in place like statues. I couldn't feel the wind, but there was an uneasy chill in the air. The soft clopping of my hooves echoed throughout the silent streets only proving that I was the only one able to move in this state of frozen time, but I highly doubted that I was the only one who could.
I had turned the Betrayal into a bracelet, there was no point having it in it's blade form at the time and hey it was just one more surprise up my sleeve should I need it.

"HELP ME PLEASE SOMEONE!!!" I heard someone cry out.

SKKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

"Well there's my cue..." I muttered to myself, as I ran to the source of the screaming.

When I arrived I noticed an emerald haired woman running from what seems to be one of the creatures, only this one seemed more human in appearance.

"S-Stay away from me you damn freak." The emerald haired woman screamed, wait was that woman I bumped into earlier today...what did she say what her name was...Setsuna...something?

"Aw c'mon now love..." the creature spoke with deep reverb in it's voice. "Ah just wanna snack on those Memories o' yours." The creature then gave a roar as his head split into three revealing a massive gaping maw.

"No way, is that what happened to the missing part of Mclean?" I wondered, "I thought that part was destroyed when he changed into a colt."

"STOP RIGHT THERE MEMORIA!!!" I shouted from the shadows.

"Ooh and just who might be talkin'?" The creature demanded.

"I can't believe I'm about to do this." I cringed a little, "But I can't reveal my identity."

"I AM THE WARRIOR OF LOVE AND PASSION!" I declared as I leapt down from above, landing and going into a little pose, "I AM PRETTY GUARDIAN OF THE NIGHT! MIDNIGHT PASSION! AND IN THE NAME OF THE PRINCESS OF THE MOON I AM HERE TO PUNISH YOU!!!"

"Oh you here to save the missy 'ere are ya?" The creature laughed, "Ah assume you're the bitch who took out mah friends earlier? Ah no matta then I'll just kill ya instead! Ah'm an Alpha ya see, and I'm much more powerful than those weaklings!!!"

"..." I remained silent, if this thing is more powerful than the two I faced earlier...then...no! I will not let a monster like this defeat me.

The creature lunged at me with a shriek of a warcry, intending to take me out in one swipe.

"RELEASE RESTRAINT WAVE!!!"

A shock wave of magic blew the creature back a couple of yards knocking it off balance for a moment. The creature fired one of those blasts that the others had used earlier.

"BARRIER: MIDNIGHT VEIL!!"

A honey comb like barrier appeared before me and intersected to absorb the force of the attack. The creature itself let out a snarl of frustration.

"This thing...used to be Scott, or rather the worst part of him." I thought to myself, "That little colt in Antonia's care...doesn't deserve to relive the nightmare this monster caused...I'm ending this now!"

"BARRIER: ENFORCE RESTRAINT!!"

With out another word the barrier dispersed and separated and transformed into spears that launched and embedded themselves into the creatures arms and legs immobilizing it.

"Ah can't move..." The creature cursed hissed, snarled and screamed. "What did ya do ta me ya bitch!!"

"THIS ENDS NOW!!" The bracelet on my arm transformed itself into a large silver bow with just a thought. I aimed at the creature, who just looked on in horror.

"Goodbye Mclean...for now and forever..." I muttered to myself.

The remaining barrier spears transformed into light and formed into an arrow made of compressed magic, as I pulled the string back as far as I could the loose bits of pavement began to float and shatter into dust.

"YOUR EXSISTANCE IS DENIED!! PRENUMBRA RILLE!!!"

The arrow shot forth at inhuman speed creating cracks and grooves that resembled canyons if they were scaled up a lot. When the arrow made contact...there was nothing left.

After a moment of silence, I briefly wondered who that creature was...a small colt, Antonia's son came to mind for reasons I couldn't explain why maybe whatever that monster was it was best left forgotten...I had more pressing matters right now.

"Are you alright miss?" I asked the woman behind me.

"I'm fine, though I must admit that was quite a performance you put on." The woman smiled as if amused by some joke I wasn't privy to. "Who would of thought a sailor scout here to save me of all places."

"I-I...er don't know what to say to that." I stuttered abit embarrassed remembering what I had declared earlier.

"Hmm...your certainly no scout that I know of...your definitely not related to Moon, the Inners or the Outers...though that last attack you used..." She drifted off.

"Umm...it sounded cool right?" I asked aloud, "Good god I cannot shut up when I'm nervous." I cursed myself mentally. "Nothing too...girly...r-right?"

"Oh...I get it you're a newbie, I didn't realize you just awoken recently!" She declared, "I guess Princess Luna kept her word after all, better late than never."

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Setsuna Meiou at your service." Setsuna introduced herself.

"Wait..." I hesitated finally clicking, "T-that means you're..."

"PLUTO SILVER MILLENNIAL POWER! MAKE UP!!!"

In an instance I was blinded in a flash of emerald light, and there stood Sailor Pluto clad in emerald armor, you could see traces of a sailor scout uniform underneath and in one hand was a key like staff with a garnet rod at the top of it.

"I am Millennial Sailor Pluto, the Guardian and Sentiment of Time." The Sentiment, no Pluto declared, "And I have been waiting for you Midnight Passion, Origin of the Betrayal."

"..." I took a few steps back in fear, everything about this woman radiated death... "No...not another one..."

"Worry not child..." Pluto reassured, "I am not hear to hurt you but rather be a guide for you. Here a token of goodwill...Betrayal: Pluto Planet Make Up!."

The bracelet on my arm began to lift my arm forward against my will towards Pluto and it began...scanning her with some sort of magic I wasn't familiar with. A moment later I was blinded with another flash of Emerald light, when I could see again I looked around Pluto hadn't changed but when I looked down I was wearing an identical Sailor Scout uniform to Pluto's minus the armor. I still had my sleeveless cloak on thankfully.

"Now understand I am trusting you with a particular power..." Pluto explained, "Now I know you have been tasked with undoing the source of frozen time here and this will let you do just that, but understand that you cannot control or freeze time, only undo any error or freeze in the natural flow if time and some of my more basic offensive abilities."

"...Why trust me with this sort of power?" I asked.

"Because you can act where i cannot as a Sentiment." Pluto explained, "The Memories Sentiment planned on using you as weapon, which is something I nor Princess Luna can allow. Now we have talked enough, go and find the source of this mess and should we meet again which we will I will explain then." Without another word Pluto vanished leaving me alone once again.

Snapping myself out of my disbelief I hurried onwards following some sort of sense that seemed to be guiding me.
It wasn't long before I came a across a rift in the middle of a car park, there was a fair few ponies there but like the rest they were frozen in time. The infernal thing looked like the air around it had cracked like glass.

"This is definitely it..." I muttered, "But how do I close it off once and for all? She said just to use her power..."
I lifted my bracelet forward hoping it would do something, but I was unsure of what I needed to do.

Bit by bit what seemed like fractured gears seemed to appear around the rift began to put themselves back together as if they were fixing the rift and restarting the flow of time once again.

The people around me began to move once again, only a few seemed to notice my presence there. Without another word I walked back into the darkened streets until Luna opened a portal back to her...right now I just wanted to get back to my daughter and take her back to the hospital with me...

Omake:

"Oh my heavens we can't believe she did the whole Pretty Guardian of the Night bit." Luna giggled in amusement as she watched on. "Do all magical girls have to do that?"

"Uh-huh!" Sunshine answered, "Mommy says it comes with the job."

"Oh we see child." Luna replied, "Maybe we should turn into a magical cat and help guide her. Ah our sister would approve of such an act."

Elsewhere...

"Okay now how do I change back into my regular clothes?" I wondered to myself, "People are staring..."

I could here various ponies passing me by wondering if I was some sort of cosplayer or just on my way home from a fancy dress party.

"God damn it, why the hell am I such a magnet for this weird shit!!!"
