Chapter 1: The Senshi Fail
Sailor Jupiter lashed at the bulky black wolf standing in front of her. It's red eyes bulged out as it opened its mouth and nearly snatched the senshi's arm as it contacted its chest. Evasively Jupiter jumped backward shaking her hand out from the previous contact. "It's fur is like steel!" She looked over to Sailor Mercury and the others.
Mercury typed away at her small blue computer analyzing the beast as her attention was drawn above as the beast's master laughed.
Floating in the air a woman in black with long flowing dark brown hair chuckled. The noise was muffled through a scratched up white mask that covered the entirety of her face. "Kill them Maniaca. Rip their pretty little hearts from their bodies and feast on their souls." Accumulating a large ball of dark energy the woman threw it directly at the beast.
As the energy hit, the muscles of the black wolf contorted growing larger. It growled and erupted on its hind legs letting out a screeching howl. The site and noise sent the humans scrambling behind the pillars of the old museum.
Venus yelled out to the others. "We need to get these citizens out of here!"
Mars nodded in her direction and scream out. "Fire Soul Bird!" A large fiery phoenix erupted and created massive flames to trap the beast away from the scared citizens.
Sailor Moon yelled out "Moon Gorgeous Meditation!" She spun forcefully directing the attack towards the beast. Just before it could make contact the beast launched from the circle of fire closing the distance between the two. With it's large clawed paw it slammed Sailor Moon in the abdomen sending her flying in the wall. The moon princess collapsed into an unconscious pile.
The inner senshi screamed out in unison. "Princess!" Instinctively they simultaneously jumped back forming a protective barrier around Sailor Moon as her transformation fell.
Sailor Mercury quickly rushed to her fallen leader's side. She reached out her white gloved hand and touched Usagi's neck gingerly. Looking to the others she nodded. "She's just knocked out." She sighed out as her mini computer finally finished its calculations. Looking up to the others she laid out the plan. "Mars we can burn its protective armor with fire!" She looked down in frustration.
Venus seeing the fear on Mercury's face prodded. "What is it?"
Mercury breathed out reluctantly. "Only silver can kill it."
Jupiter growled. "Seriously? Like a real fucking werewolf?" She looked around her surroundings at the dusty old museum. Surely something in the collection had to be silver.
Venus nodded a plan developing in her mind. "Mercury can you locate an article? We will hold it off."
Mercury sped off on the order using her screening to scan the building.
Mars growled out launching a flaming arrow into the beasts as it began to approach again. It cried out as the blast revealed blackened skin at the base of its throat.
The woman in black frowned stroking her chin with her forefinger. None of the attacks she had conducted over the past month had worked. Every time the senshi had ruined her plans, by coming up with some plot. She remembered the early morning and her King making it clear that failure would not be acceptable. This had to be the moment. The moment the senshi fell.
Floating down to the ground she stood next to the growling wolf. Purposefully, she placed her hand into the dark fur and made the connection. Black pieces of armor erupted over its body. The beast looked to her a certain clear affection in it's blood red eyes. She then turned her attention and grinned towards Mars. "Why don't we fight fire with fire?" She raised her hands and a black fiery energy burst forth. In a spinning motion she launched the energy away. It quickly caught fire to the surface of the museum and crawled up the pillars. Several citizens screamed as the flames latched onto their extremities and the smell of burning flesh rotted through the air.
Mars readied another arrow angrily. She pulled the unearthly force back pointing it towards the grouped demons.
The woman wagged her finger. "Wouldn't do that if I were you." Her eyes focusing in on Mars she smiled and a invisible burst filled the room.
As if on cue the prepped arrow quickly turned black and exploded sending Mars back into the wall her head thumping against it hard. Her body slid down the wall and her transformation fell away.
Venus yelled out. "Mars!" She shared a concerned look with Jupiter, already knowing their previous attacks had done little to effect the beast.
Jupiter tightened her fist. "Venus we have to hold our ground. Mercury won't disappoint us. She felt some slight relief as she saw that the police had just entered the building and were directing people out. She smirked nervously, "Besides it's still two on two."
Venus frown cautiously. "Says the girl always biting off more than she can chew." She moved forward and yelled. "Venus love me kiss!" A large heart of light flew slamming into the demon and sending her into the black mass of flames.
Jupiter followed up yelling, "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Balls of electrifying green energy launched into the beast each blast pelting it backwards its claws leaving distinguished marks in the ground as it went.
Rebounding from the mass of fire a large black energy ball blasted out and hit Venus in the chest causing her to drop to one knee.
Venus glared at the woman who casually walked through the flames, blood dripping from a cut on her face. Venus shouted. "Fuck you bitch." Breathing in harshly she yelled out focusing a precise amount of energy. "Venus crescent beam!" The shot of pure light flew through the air in a straight line and tore through the white mask of the woman in black.
As the mask crumpled a hideous black lined face was revealed. The demons eye shot open and she shrieked into the air. The dark energy released sent the black fire into a frenzy. With lightning speed, she darted to Venus.
Venus grabbed grievously at her throat as pale white claws gripped around the vulnerable flesh. Her face was inches from the demons, it's wide purple eyes baring into her.
The demon hissed. "No one sees my face and lives." She slowly drew back one of her hands, claws extending as she did.
Leaning backwards as much as she could Venus focused as much energy as she could and blasted another beam between them. The shot exploded sending the senshi skidding on the ground and the demon exploding into particles.
Venus titled her head up slightly assured that she had destroyed the demon before passing out and losing her transformation.
Jupiter ran to Minako , seeing that she had lost consciousness she cursed. "Damnitt." Cautiously she picked up the blond and moved quickly to lay her limp body next to Rei. Her attention was pulled back to the beast as she heard it howl.
Mercury had returned and for the moment had frozen the beast's legs. She pleaded to Jupiter. "Jupiter! Here!" Awkwardly the blue haired senshi threw a gleaming object to the lightning senshi.
Catching the object Jupiter became frustrated. "What am I supposed to do with a candle stick?" In her hands was a three-stemmed candle stick sparkling gleefully from the light of the fire.
Mercury growled. "It's the only thing I could find in the building." She paused momentarily. "Also it's a colonial candlestick from the states."
Jupiter raised an eyebrow, unsure of why the locality of the pointless item mattered. Regardless, she had no option but to make the odd selection work. Her fingers tightly circled around the object.
The beast began to circle the two bringing them together. The armor it had received had disappeared with its master, however it held its large size. It looked between the two before selecting its target. Crouching down on all for legs it launched itself with its front paws landing squarely on Mercury's chest and sending her to the ground.
Mercury screamed out as she heard her shoulder pop out of place from the pressure, and with certainty she knew her clavicle had been crushed. She watched in terror as the monster's large teeth were closing distance to her chest, however sighed in relief as Jupiter body slammed the beast with unbelievable force just in time, sending it skidding on the burning floor. The beast yelled out as more of its skin became vulnerable. Mercury cringed unable to move. "Jupiter it's up to you."
Jupiter nodded clutching the candle stick tightly in her gloved hand. With all her strength she slammed the stick into the beast's head. Seeing that it had no effect she cursed under her breath remembering she needed to hit where the skin was exposed.
In a flash the monster launched her off of it's body with its hind legs. The two circled each other like they were both looking at the pray of the day. The wolf growled deeply before hastily attempting to strike the senshi.
Jupiter swiftly jumped to her side avoiding the hit and this time striking out with the candle stick to an exposed spot on the beasts back. The skin of the beast burst open causing it to scream and thrash in a hurry. One of its large paws struck Jupiter in the ribs leaving three distinct claw marks in her fuku but just barely missing the skin. The force of the hit caused the candlestick to fly from her hand and spin into the fire.
In another flash the injured beast backhanded Jupiter sending her into the wall. The wooded structure made a hideous cracking sound upon contact, blistering into splinters almost all the way up to the ceiling.
Her vision wavering Jupiter looked at the beast who was approaching slowly. In the distance she could hear the crowd of people screaming. "The senshi have fallen, run we are all going to die!"
Jupiter focused on the beast and urged her muscles to move, but they wouldn't budge from the shock.
The beast approached her, saliva dripping from its mouth, hunger for her heart clear upon its features. The bludgeoning of the candlestick had done little to slow it down.
A mere five feet away Jupiter closed her eyes and begged for assistance from within. Her green eyes shot open as she heard a gunshot ring out.
The beast growled in a fury looking behind it. A lone female officer stood solid gun ready, her auburn brown hair ran down her back in a braid, and stray hairs were peeking out from her police hat. Within seconds she unloaded another three rounds on the beast to no effect. The slow terror growing in her dark blue eyes was evident even from so far away.
The wolf turned around almost chuckling in appearance and made a slow approach to the police woman.
Still struggling to move from the shock Jupiter made every attempt to regain the beast attention. In her heart she knew that if the beast made its way to the civilian they would be torn to shreds. Jupiter yelled out, her body ached as she did. "Run!" In a desperate measure Jupiter began to crawl towards where the candle stick had disappeared into the fire.
The officer looked at the fallen senshi, and then to the direction she was crawling. In a haste she ran towards the fire. Seeing the melting candle stick, her cogs turned trying to connect the dots.
The beast perked its ears up realizing what was going on. It began to run at a steady pace towards the officer and the fire. Quickly it lashed out slashing downwards on the officers head and body. Drops of blood flew as it drew its claws back.
Jupiter screamed out. "Leave her alone you fuck face! Did you forget about who your fight was with?" Laying on the ground still Jupiter focused and screamed. "Supreme Thunder!" A bolt of lightning crashed down into the beast causing it to howl in pain.
For a brief second the beast turned away from the wounded officer and roared at Jupiter.
A bloody mess the female officer groaned out, she grabbed for her gun and moved towards the melted silve. In a messy glob she scooped as much as she could towards the pistol. Terror stricken she looked over her shoulder, her vision slightly impaired from blood running down her face from a large gash, she was unsure if the monster was close or not. Although the hot metal burned even through her gloves she shoved the silver goop into the barrel of the gun. She breath out as if reminding herself why the actions needed to be complete. "If the senshi die, we won't have a chance."
Just before the beast reached Jupiter the officer fired again hitting the fury back of the beast from her position on the ground. Quickly she scooped more silver into the receiver. Like a game of keep away the beast roared again running back at the officer. The officer aimed in quickly, but not as fast as the beast.
It's large mouth bore down on the officer's left shoulder. It's teeth pulled at the flesh as it began to lift up. Through a scream of agony the police woman lifted the gun and shot the beast upward from it's throats as it began to pull away. The bullet lodged into the exposed skin of its neck and exploded into its brain. It's hulking body shifted back down into the shoulder of the officer its teeth digging further into her flesh as it became still.
Mercury held her shoulder tight and found the strength to move to the wounded police woman, surveying the wounds she tried to apply pressure to her clawed up side. The woman barely conscious managed to awkwardly place her black gloved hand over Mercury's seeking comfort. Mercury yelled. "Jupiter... this building isn't going to last." She looked around watching the black fire continue to crawl up the walls. "I know you have nothing left, but we need to get the others out!"
Jupiter groaned trying to pull herself up. After a struggle she finally managed to stand. She nodded to Mercury. "Can you slow down this blaze?"
A pained expression Mercury shouted out "Mercury Aqua Mist!" Mist burst forward and the blazed steamed out. As the steam disappeared she looked up to see several officers approaching their fallen comrade. Hesitantly she whispered. "I'm so sorry. I have to go."
With a cringed nod the officer acknowledged that Mercury would no longer be able to help her.
Standing up quickly Mercury rushed to Jupiter. "I need you to hold my arm tight." Getting close to Jupiter she positioned herself.
Jupiter looked at her confused. "What?" Still she closed the distance between the two.
Slightly frustrated Mercury extended out her limp arm and ordered. "Just do it!" As Jupiter held her arm tight she shifted in agony hearing her shoulder pop back into its pocket. She huffed out air in relief. "I will get Rei and Minako. You take care of Usagi."
Makoto groaned as she moved painfully toward her odango haired friend. "That was too close." She quivered as she struggled to lift Usagi into her arms.
Mercury approached Rei and looked at her injuries, and observed that the miko was slightly stirring. The hit to the raven-haired girls head did some damage, and maybe a slight concussion. Mercury softly urged her to sit up.
Rei coughed roughly. "What happened?" She grabbed the offered gloved hand and stood up the world still slightly moving.
Mercury spoke solemnly. "We got very lucky, and at a high price for someone else." She cupped Rei's cheeks looking at her eyes. Determining that there was no concussion she smiled slightly. "We need to get out of here now before the building comes down."
Still slightly confused Rei nodded. She looked over at Jupiter who was clearly struggling with Usagi and stumbled over to help.
Mercury turned her attention to Minako. The blond was worse for wear. Her scanner determined at least three broken ribs and possibly some internal bleeding. Using what strength she had, and feeling the pang in her chest, she picked the blond up and slung her over her good side. She hollered to Jupiter and Rei. "There's a clearing on the back."
The others nodded and in a slow pace exited the crumbling museum.
