Enter Night: The Mysterious Savior!
This is...the end. Sailor Moon thought.
She was cornered at the end of an alleyway. She couldn't count on the Sailor Guardians this time; they were trapped under an oxygen blocking bubble. Sailor Moon couldn't count on Tuxedo Mask because he was just as trapped as the girls were.
And Sailor Moon couldn't do anything.
"Now Sailor Moon, you will die."
Then there was a sudden gust of wind and Sailor Moon was suddenly in someone's arms. She looked up and saw a girl probably no older than her. The girl smiled at Sailor Moon and set her down.
"Are you alright?" Asked the girl.
Sailor Moon was amazed at what she saw. The girl had medium brown hair that fell a couple inches below her shoulders. Her eyes were slate blue and her face had a good amount of freckles on it. She was wearing a long purple dress that stopped just above her legs. It had point sleeves that ended between her ring finger and middle finger. A golden ring with a peridot gem sparkled on her right hand. On her feet were white thigh-high boots. But it wasn't the outfit Sailor Moon was captivated by, it was the girl's wings.
Yes, wings. On her back were a pair of bat wings that were so big they dragged behind her when she walked. Plus, on her head were a pair of fluffy bat ears.
"Well?" the girl asked.
Sailor Moon broke out of her trance and nodded at the girl. She hadn't heard what the girl had said but Sailor Moon figured the girl had been asking whether she was alright.
"Y-yes, I'm fine."
"I'm glad! You had me worried there. "
"W-who are you?"
"Oh, you can call me- "
"Night!" The monster yelled.
The girl turned around and flew towards the monster, hovering in the air.
Night. So that's her name. Sailor Moon thought.
"Did the Gray King send you? " Night asked.
Gray King?
Sailor Moon shook her head to clear her thoughts and stared at her friends.
This is the perfect opportunity.
Sailor Moon speed walked toward her friends. She went to help the Sailor Guardians and Tuxedo Mask, who were all trapped under the same bubble. All of them smiled when they saw her.
"Mercury! Any idea how to stop this thing?" Sailor Moon asked.
Sailor Mercury nodded; "There's a pressure point just below where you are standing. If you can hit it it might set all of us free. " Mercury said between coughs.
"Got 'chya!"
She pointed her Moon Rod at the bubble and closed her eyes; "Moon Princess… Halation! "
The bubble instantly faded away and the girls and Tuxedo Mask were free.
"How did you get free?" Jupiter asked.
Sailor Moon pointed to the bat winged girl flying in the sky.
"She saved me."
The girls stared in awe at the girl who was expertly dodging the monster's attacks.
"It's like she knows when it's going to attack her. " Venus said.
"That's because she can." Mercury said.
The Sailor Guardians looked at Mercury in confusion.
"She's using echolocation. " Mercury said.
The guardians looked even more confused.
"It's the ability to locate objects and animals by the reflection of sound. She can hear every move the monster is making no matter how quiet it is. "
"Wow…" Sailor Moon said.
"C'mon, let's go help her." Mars said.
"Right! " The Sailor Guardians and Tuxedo Mask said in unison.
They all jumped into action.
"Burning…. Mandala!"
A series of flame rings ignited from Sailor Mars's fingertips and straight at the monster. It didn't even make a mark.
"What? But how-"
"Wait, let me try something." Sailor Mercury said.
The Sailor Scouts nodded and Ami stepped forward.
"Shine...Aqua...Illusion!"
The monster was surrounded by a huge barrier of water, though somehow it could deflect it. The water splashed back and the Sailor Guardians were as good as drenched. But then they were all up in the air. Mars found this particularly frightening and kept screaming "I'm dead! I've gone and went to heaven!"
"Are you scared?"
Sailor Mars looked up and stared at Night.
"Who-You're the one that saved Sailor Moon right?"
"Oh, is that her name? Yes. You can call me Night."
"What are you?" Jupiter asked.
"I don't have the time to explain everything. Now hold on tight!"
The girls nodded and held onto the girl.
"You, the Red One!"
"Y-Yes?" Replied Sailor Mars.
"That attack you did before. You think you could do it from mid-air?"
"Yes, why?"
"That monster can see up close but not far away. That's how it was able to deflect your attack."
"I see…"
"Well, have fun!"
Night dropped Mars and all the girls screamed in terror as they watched her fall. Mars however got her grip on the situation.
"Burning...Mandala!"
This time, the fire hit the monster. It fell over on it's side and Mars looked amazed.
"I'm going down to land." Night said.
She set the girls down first but Night remained in the air.
Night lifted both her hands, and between them a black shadowy ball began to build, spinning around and around. Her eyes were pure white and her hair was blown back. Night folded her right arm over her chest and raised the left one to the sky. The ball floated above her pointer finger now. She twirled around maybe four times before coming to a stop. She raised both hands to the sky.
"Echo Shock...Attack!" She shouted.
On that last word, she snapped her fingers. There was a loud eruption of sound and the monster started to scream and cover its ears. It was pushed back and slammed against a nearby wall, turning to ash.
"Well, that's my cue. " Night said.
"What is? " Sailor Moon asked.
"The monster is defeated. It is time for me to go. "
"But we have so much to ask you! "Mercury said.
"Aw, that's sweet. But we will meet again. I promise you." Night replied.
Night flew over to Sailor Moon, hovering in front of her face. There was suddenly a serious look in her eyes.
"Sailor Moon… "
"Y-yes? " She responded.
"Take good care of your friends. " Night said.
"I don't understand. "
"I made a horrible mistake that put my friend in serious trouble. I fear I may never see her again.. "
The Sailor Guardians stared at Night in awe.
"That's just awful.. " Jupiter said.
"Well, it was super fun to meet you all!" Night said, faking a smile.
"Night... "
"See you soon! "
So, Night flew into the dark evening sky.
Far away and out of the Sailor Guardians eyesight she landed on a roof.
"Been waiting long? " Night asked.
A person walked out from the shadows and stood next to Night.
"You should have called us. "
"I know… but it was a spur of the moment thing. A girl and her friends were in trouble. "
The girl started to laugh.
"What is it? " Night asked.
"You never change. "
