"Sailor Staff Weapon 32" by:

In all worlds both known and obscured, desire equals power...and thus those who go further and excel are ultimately rewarded. The Labyrinth is no different, and as payment for her progress in the Spiraling Dance Of Eternal Torment Pleasure as well as her loyalty within the ranks of the Order of The Gash, Leviathan blessed Luciva with the gift of Flight..

I think...I think that I actually made the deadline for this...and here I thought I might need an extension too. *whew*

With that said, this is my FINAL ROUND entry for *DarkZephyrMoon's "Otaku Senshi Idol" Competition, theme for the final round being "Senshi Upgrade". In SailorMoon, the senshi eventually achieve an "Ultimate Form". Otaku Senshi have a tendency to do this as well, and my "Sailor Cenobite" Luciva is no exception.

Here we have Luciva in her "Enlightened" (Enlightenment via Pain that is), which at first glance does not look that different from her usual Cenobitey self. But look closely. Not only does she obtain wings, but the skin on her back is sliced and sinued, pulled back to expose her and 'tied' to her wings (and also exposes her spinal collumn, but you can't see that from the front). She also has a crown of barbed wire, nails in both shoulders, razor claws on both fingers, new boots and new hooks, longer chains and more belts...and that's just for starters.

Also, another strange occurance is that she can remove her "Leviathan Crystal" (her equivilant to a normal Sailor Crystal/Starseed) from her body and use it as a "battery" for some of her newly upgraded attacks. The Leviathan Crystal was made using stock from The Hellbound Web as well as a Sailor Crystal Template by ~Chronomorphosis. Expect the Leviathan Crystal to appear in many future pieces.

This piece was fun, and despite all the little details, I'm STILL surprised that I got it finished so quickly.

Enjoy!
