Chapter 9: The Last Sailor Senshi, Sailor Venus Appears


"Who would have expected a fake Sailor Moon would show up?" Ami mused as the group headed towards the pier.

"I know," Rei sighed. "I saw the news on that bank robbery too. Of course I didn't think that was Usagi."

"We would have nothing to complain about if the real Sailor Moon was as hardworking as her." Makoto joked.

"The question is, what is the fake Sailor Moon's goal?" Ami posted a question. "Is she our enemy or ally?"

"An ally..." Rei blinked. "Luna, could she possibly be the fifth Sailor Senshi?"

"What?" Luna was caught off-guard.

"There's something fishy about this." Usagi determined. "Besides, how dare she use the name of Sailor Moon without my permission? I gotta catch her and make her pay license fees."

"That's not the problem here!" Makoto protested. "Let's go, everyone!" she stated after hearing a scream. "That guy is one of Dark Kingdom's..." she gaped when they saw Kunzite standing on a pile of industrial crates.

"On no, we need to rescue her!" Usagi spotted her clone suspended from a crane above them.

"Wait." Makoto pulled the blond back.

"It's dangerous." Luna pointed out. "This could be a trap."

"Even if it is a trap, I just can't watch Sailor Moon being treated like that." Usagi protested. "Everyone, transform. Moon Prism Power, Make Up!"

"Mercury Star Power, Make Up!"

"Mars Power, Make Up!"

"Jupiter Power, Make Up!"

"Not so fast!" Sailor Moon declared. "You have terrible taste, tying up a girl and hanging her! I'm the pretty Sailor Senshi of love and justice, Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon, I will severely punish you!"

"So, you are here." the leader of the Shitennou smirked. "I am Kunzite, one of the Shitennou of the Dark Kingdom. Sailor Moon and the Sailor Senshi, prepare yourself!" reaching out his hands, he conjured up a black energy sphere around the Senshi. "How do you like this beautiful darkness?"

"It's quite impressive." Sailor Mars noted. "Fire Soul!" she released her fireball, only to have the energy barrier absorb her attack.

"Let me scan this thing..." Sailor Mercury had already activated her visor."There's apparently no way to break it from the inside." she sighed.

An image of Kunzite appeared inside the barrier and fired off a rain of explosives at them.

"Prism Ice Barrier!" Sailor Mercury's shield was in place.

"He's tough." Sailor Jupiter hissed.

"What's wrong?" Kunzite taunted.

"Supreme Thunder!" Sailor Jupiter retaliated, only to have her attack absorbed by the darkness shield.

"Is that the extent of the Sailor Senshi's powers?" Kunzite mocked, jumping down. Resting his hands on the barrier, he started shrinking the sphere.


Elsewhere, Tuxedo Kamen was hurrying to the docks. "Is this a trap?" he wondered, spotting the Sailor Moon clone. "Oh no!" he gaped when he got in closer. With a leap, he freed the fake Sailor Moon. He then jumped into a warehouse after a powerful lightning demolished the crane.

The fake Sailor Moon then grinned evilly, materializing a crystal shard and stabbing Tuxedo Kamen on the back.

"Zoisite!" Tuxedo Kamen glared when the clone shed his disguise.

"You poor thing." Zoisite taunted. "I will soon put you out of your misery, Tuxedo Kamen." and blasted a ray of petals at his opponent. "Running will do you no good." he chuckled. "I will take the Nijizuishou this time for certain." and summoned a crystal blade.


"Supreme Thunder!" Sailor Jupiter fired off her attack again, only to have the barrier absorb the energy.

"Give it up." Kunzite chuckled. "You will never break this barrier."


"I've found you." Zoisite grinned, having forced Tuxedo Kamen into the open. "Die!" he jumped at the masked hero, his blade raised above his head.

"Light Sniper!" a blast of light shot the crystal blade out of Zoisite's hand.

"It hurts!" Zoisite whined. "Ouch! Who are you?" he demanded.

"You always did have a short memory, Castor." the figure standing on the window taunted. "Have you forgotten my face?" he jumped down.

"You..." Zoisite gaped, stunned at the Kunzite clone. "This isn't possible... Anubis... I'll leave... for now." he hissed and teleported off.

"You..." Tuxedo Kamen blinked at the Kunzite lookalike.

"It's been a while," Anubis knelt before the reincarnated Terra Prince. "Master."


"How do you like the taste of my darkness?" Kunzite taunted.

"Kunzite-sama, please be careful." Zoisite teleported in. "In addition to Tuxedo Kamen, there's another enemy nearby."

"Zoisite, did you fail to capture Tuxedo Kamen?" Kunzite frowned.

"Such cold words." Zoisite pouted. "I was just about to take care of that, when that brat interfered. Tuxedo Kamen, look!" he shouted. "This is the end of Sailor Moon and her friends. If you want to save them, come out with the Nijizuishou. Surrender yourself, Tuxedo Kamen! In the end, there is noway for you to win. Struggling will only bring you more suffering. It's important to know when to give up."

"Sailor Moon!" Luna exclaimed in horror.

"No, you're wrong!" a voice corrected. "No matter how hard it is, you must never give up!"

"That voice is..." Luna gaped.

"Who are you..." Kunzite looked up at the shadow on the building.

"Pretty Sailor Senshi, Sailor Venus!" the orange Senshi jumped down. "If you will pardon me, I have arrived." she removed her mask. "Crescent Beam!" she fired her laser beam at Kunzite's gloves, forcing him to release the other Senshi.

"Sailor V!" Sailor Moon recognized her idol. "You're Sailor V, aren't you?"

"She is the Sailor of justice, Sailor V." Artemis declared from his spot above Luna. "And her true identity is... pretty Sailor Senshi Sailor Venus! Luna, long time no see." he greeted his female counterpart.

"Artemis!" Luna blinked.

"Damn it!" Zoisite cursed as he backed off. "Kunzite-sama, please run! I will take care of them."

"Light Pulse!" Anubis' light sphere exploded at the two evil Shitennou's feet. "Hello, Cale-nii-san." he greeted his older half-sibling coldly.

"Anubis!" Kunzite was shocked to see the half-sibling he had once tried to kill before him. "How did..."

"My next attack won't miss." Anubis promised, powering up another light sphere.

"Sailor Senshi, we shall finish this battle another time." Kunzite swore and vanished with Zoisite.

"Venus..." Anubis looked at the light Senshi.

"Go ahead." Sailor Venus nodded.

"Thanks." the silvery-blond nodded and took off.
