Chapter Eight
Lita shuddered as she thought about her and Darien hooking up. What would the others think? And Serena…she'd be so mad. Oh, what would she do? Whenever she was confused, she'd always go up to her favourite ice cream shop and have a thick shake. She looked out the window. It was getting late, and she still had heap of homework to do. She could go to Rei's temple, make a wish or two and then watch while Rei made one of her fire readings. Nah, she decided, it's too late, and I don't particularly want to see anyone right now. Lita sighed and slurped up the last few drops of her shake. She licked her lips and sat back in her chair. She noticed some commotion out on the street. A young woman was desperately trying to get away from a man. Lita gasped in shock as she noticed the young woman was clutching a baby to her chest. The baby was crying, and the woman, most likely its mother, was also in tears.
Lita raced outside. The woman tripped, and fell onto her back. The baby was still safely in its mother's arms, unharmed. The man was approaching slowly. He was grinning evilly, his eyes were cold and his arms were outstretched. Lita forgot all about her bumping into Darien and hid behind the brick wall, waiting for the right moment. There were a couple of little kids walking up the street, and Lita couldn't transform, because they would see her. When the kids had completely vanished from sight, Lita fumbled around in her pocket for her Jupiter Pen. She threw it in the air.
"JUPITER STAR POWER, MAKE UP!" Lita thrust her hand into the air. She caught her pen and bolts of lighting engulfed her body, making her clothes vanish and replace Lita with her new Sailor Soldier uniform. Lita had become Sailor Jupiter. It was a split second transformation, and when she had finished her transformation, the woman and the baby were still on the floor, and the man was still approaching. The woman screamed and the man started laughing.
"I don't know why you are screaming, woman." He said, and his teeth were now bared. "You and your baby will be valuable to the Negaverse! Come! Come to our side! We will reward you well!" The man's booming voice rose high into the trees. Birds were frightened out of their nests and a strange wind howled, making the daylight seem darker.
"I don't believe it!" Sailor Jupiter said to herself, "This dude is from the Negaverse! I thought we got rid of them!" She watched as the man kept bargaining with the woman, who refused to join him.
"No? You won't join us? Well then, I guess I shall just have to kill you!" The man cupped his hands, and sent a large black ball of energy towards the woman. The woman screamed again. Sailor Jupiter knew her time to defend had come. She swiftly slid in front of the woman, protecting her. The woman blinked.
"Huh? Sailor Jupiter! But where are your friends?" the woman asked. Sailor Jupiter had not time to reply, but nevertheless hastily answered.
"They're busy." She said. No time for explanations. "I want you to take your baby and run for it!" Sailor Jupiter cried.
Sailor Jupiter had to think quickly. The black ball of energy was coming straight towards her. If she used her Thunder Crash, she could burst the ball of energy, but then the man would have time to get away. But if she used her Thunder Cap Zap, then she could hit the man, but then the energy would get her! The ball of energy was heading straight for Sailor Jupiter and it was increasing speed with every inch. Sailor Jupiter had no time for an attack. She dived for cover and the energy just missed her cheek.
"Argh, rats. You're one of those annoying Sailor Soldiers aren't you?" The man questioned.
"That's right, although I'm not so sure annoying is the word you'd want to use. I'd probably say: powerful, elegant, strong...?" Sailor Jupiter jumped up to face the man. "I thought we got rid of you lot!"
"Not quite." He said. "You see, the Nega Moon Kingdom has many people. We ruled under one person, Prince Diamond, and since it was you and your team of little girls who murdered him, we, his brothers, sisters and followers, will get you for it, even if it is the last thing we do! But, it is not even you, Sailor Jupiter, who we are after. It is that ugly witch Sailor Moon we want, who Prince Diamond fell for, leading him straight to his death. Once we get rid of Sailor Moon, getting rid of the rest of you will be easy."
"Don't count on it! You have no idea who you're messing with, and if it's the last thing I do, I'll make sure you never get your hands on Sailor Moon. You'll have to defeat me first!" Sailor Jupiter's earrings sparkled as she put her hands together, like she was about to clap for someone. Little thunder bolts sneaked out from inside her clasped hands. She opened her hands, outstretched her arms and held a big bolt of lightning. She swung her arm back to gather force and then threw the bolt of lighting at the Prince Diamond follower.
"JUPITER THUNDER CLAP ZAP!" The attack hit the man, but only wounded him, and he recovered instantly. Sailor Jupiter frowned. Her strongest attack wasn't working! She tried again.
"JUPITER THUNDER CLAP ZAP!" She doubled the amount of attack she threw, but still, the man recovered. The tired her attack three more times, but he either dodged or he recovered from being hit. Sailor Jupiter was about to give up hope when she felt a new power inside of her. She called to the heavens, to her planet Jupiter.
"I call upon Jupiter, the mighty warrior, guardian of good and punisher of evil! Guardian Jupiter, give me the strength and the power to defeat this foe from the Nega Moon Kingdom!" Very similar to her Thunder Clap Zap, Sailor Jupiter threw a much more powerful ball of sparkling green light.
"SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE!" This time, it was a successful hit. The man was wounded a great deal, and could not recover. He clutched his side, and shook a fist at Sailor Jupiter.
"I shall return, and when I do, you and your Sailor friends had better be prepared for battle! No one can defeat our strongest warrior!" He laughed as he dissolved into nothing.
