Chapter 7

Youma

"What?" the group yelled turning towards it. "It must have been drawn to your powers or something."

"Then let's go get it!" Mars said.

"Maybe we should see what is does first. I hope it isn't a convert."

"A what?"

"A convert is the name given to someone who has been converted to the Dark Kingdom, but this one looks like a descendant from Queen Beryl's Court."

"Then it steals energy." Sailor Moon said. The youma disappeared in a shimmer and reappeared behind the group before they noticed him. He was tall and green, with arms that ended in what looked like crab pinchers. He aimed one of these pinchers at Sailor Venus who managed to sense something was coming from behind her. She turned around and ducked with a yelp as the pinchers went over her head. As a collective group the Senshi backed away from the youma. They shortly found out that he wasn't very fast, but his ability to shimmer made him hard to attack. "Mercury use you Shabon Spray and maybe he'll quit moving."

"No prob. Shabon Spray!"

"Well that was effective." Jupiter yelled while trying to dodge the pinchers in the mist. "Mars can you Aku Ryo Tai San him?" Sailor Moon asked.

"I'll try." Her attack would have worked if she had attacked the youma instead of Sailor Venus. "No more listening to Sailor Moon. Supreme Thunder!"

"Jupiter No!" He hit the youma, but he also hit Sailor Moon too. "Thanks Jupiter!"

"Well we're even, you hit one I hit one."

"I didn't hit anyone and you hit me!"

"But you instructed someone to." In their arguing they didn't notice the youma advancing on Venus. Tuxedo Kamen ran in to get Venus to a safer spot until she woke up and yelled "Sailor Moon, use your tiara!" Sailor Moon pulled her tiara from under her singed hair and yelled "Moon Tiara Action!" Sailor Moon did her best, considering the fact that she was slightly electrocuted, but the youma was eventually turned to "Moon Dust." They all sank to the ground exhausted, except Venus who had just woken up when Tuxedo Kamen said, "Not bad for you first try. A little more practice, especially with aim and recognizing your teammates, and a little less arguing and you guys should be as good as the TV ones were in the second season. But I must warn you that Jadeite has much stronger youma than that and this one was sent to test your abilities so what do you think he reported back?" Most of the group glared at him and Tuxedo Kamen quietly said, "Well I think I'll be going now. You're doing well as leader Sailor Moon, keep at it." He jumped up to the roof and was gone. "All he seems to do is lecture and jump doesn't he?" Mars said. "Me a leader! Forget it!"

"Ditto to that" Jupiter said. "Shut up Jupiter! You wouldn't do any better with an aim and attitude like that."

"Look whose talking little Miss I Attack My Own Team Members"

"Enough!" Moon yelled. "If someone else wants the job, they can have it if they think they can do better. Well?" When no one said anything she said "We are all new at this, but we have to work together if we are going to figure this out. I think we should practice again tomorrow, but probably somewhere more open so we can work on Teleporting and Planet Power."

"Teleporting?"

"Planet Power?"

"Yeah, they have a tendency to destroy the area."

"What about an open field, like the one behind Sam's Club or something?" Saranda suggested changing back. "Ok, but we can't be seen."

"Should we tell Tuxedo Kamen about this?" Earl asked. "No, he doesn't really do much during the training sessions anyway it seems, and I don't need another lecture from Mr. Jump and Run!" Jessi said. Amy sighed thinking that they should probably tell him, but did agree with the group a little "Although, he might be letting us figure things out on our own," she thought.
