Author's Notes: Another attempt at shattering my writer's block. I hope I get over it soon.
You Can't Choose your Family
The youma was incredibly powerful of that there was no doubt. It evaded the attacks of even the strongest senshi. Sailor Jupiter merely ground her teeth in frustration as another Sparkling Wide Pressure missed it's mark. Moon was close to wailing at the unfairness of it all. Mercury did a quick scan of the strange butterfly-looking youma. They fought one of these a few years ago during the time of Beryl but it was nowhere near this powerful.
"Fall back!" Uranus called out before unleashing her Space Sword on the hapless minion only to just narrowly avoid hitting her daughter and lover. Neptune was looking frazzled as everyone felt. They tried everything they could think of short of Pluto stopping time but nothing was working. Saturn threw out a Silence Glaive Surprise, managing to strike the creature dead on, but to little effect.
"Mars Flame Sniper!" Mars released her burning arrow, scoring a hit, but once more it seemed to have little effect. Venus tried to chain it down with her Love Me Chain only to snag it's foot and become a living flail with which the manic butterfly used to strike her teammates down.
"At what point did we lose control here!?" Moon cried out as she almost beaned poor Jupiter with her tiara. Jupiter was blasted to the ground by a flying Venus, the blonde was unconscious and heavily beaten. She took in the sight before her with dread. The butterfly youma had been targeting the weakest members the heaviest. Mercury was down for the count with Moon stumbling to the ground shortly thereafter. Saturn was struck down as well by a stray Neptune Deep Submerge thereby throwing Neptune and Uranus out of the fight as the two sought to cover her. Of Pluto there was no trace.
She was growing desperate. Jupiter managed to shove Venus beneath her just as the Butterfly came in with scythe arms and raked downwards. She screamed as the blades bit deeply into her back. The fear combined with the pain was causing a maelstrom in her mind and psyche. Despite the injuries, the warrior of Love and Justice stood up. Something inside was burning to be released. Her hair turned into a multitude of colors, brown, purple, and auburn, while her eyes assume many shades as well. She turns one of those beautiful, terrible, eyes on the monster as her power climbs. Something is coming to her from memory. She focuses on it and lets it guide her.
"Papillia!" The youma cries as it flies at her with the intent of killing this weakened senshi only to see her foe actually warp the air around her in a charge. The charge isn't away from the youma, or to one of her friends, but straight at Papillia! The thing brings it's scythes up but can't stop the enraged Princess of Jupiter as claws of lightning energy crackle out from her fingertips and cleave through the youma's weapons. Before the creature can mourn the loss of it's weapons those deadly hands on placed, palm out, on it's chest.
"Moko Takabisha!" Jupiter cries as a ki/magic bolt of energy rips through the youma, disintegrating it instantly. The changed warrior falls to her knees as Pluto steps towards her with a raised eyebrow. The senshi reverts back to her prior state but is completely unharmed. The Oldest Senshi simply sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose as if she has a migraine.
"Wh-what am I...?" The girl asks in panic.
"The result of a love born from a man who turns into a woman...and a dish of chicken teriyaki." Pluto says with an absolutely straight face. The poor girl faints on the spot.
"Truth...is always stranger than fiction." She muses to herself as she walks away.
End
Author's Notes: Another one-shot. Points if you read the one-shot that spawned this sucker. I was bored and followed up on an idea that someone put in a review. I might expand it. Maybe. Beware the teriyaki!
