Venus Unleashed

Chapter 8

"…..They'll make excellent combatants for the queen's pleasure." a voice said, another voice laughed at the comment.

"The baka will tear them to peaces before they know what's going on." the laughing voice said still laughing while making his statement.

Sailor Venus opened her eyes at the sound of these voices and blinked a couple of times to focus her sight. Once focused she noticed she was chained up to a wall, and then noticed the others chained up as well, in many different positions. Some of them were still unconscious but some were awake trying to break the chains. Venus quickly scanned the room for the 11 scouts. One was missing.

" 1..2...3..10.." she counted. Who was missing? Sailor Mercury! Where could she be. She looked to her left and Jupiter was the closest to her. Mars sat next to her still unconscious on the floor.

"Jupiter," she whispered trying not to gain the attention of their captors. "Where is Mercury?" she asked a concerned look on her face.

Jupiter looked at Venus and the pounded her fist into the wall behind her. "They took her away over an hour ago. They said she had to fight some type of monster." Jupiter clenched her teeth and hit the wall again.

"I begged them to take me instead but they said that she looked sporting. Ami could die and I can't do anything about it!" she screamed and turned away. Jupiter's usual strong exterior was beginning to break down. Venus could see tears running down Jupiter's cheeks.

Venus fought back her own tears until she herd Sailor Moon's frantic voice suddenly break the silence.

"Where's Ami??!!" she screamed. She tried to stand but the chains snapped her body back to the ground. Venus watched as Sailor Moon became more and more frantic until she passed out from screaming so much.

Venus looked at Uranus and then at Neptune who were across the room from each other, but from the look in their eyes they might as well have been worlds apart. Pluto sat silently in the corner by the door and Saturn sat next to her. Jupiter was still crying and Mars was now sitting upright rubbing her head, a puzzled look in her eyes. Sailor Moon lay unconscious, her head resting on Uranus' shoulder. Sailor Earth was the only one chained in a standing position. She looked out the only small window that was in the cell and sighed.

Soon the door to the giant cell opened and everyone who was awake looked up at the visitor. The man was dressed in a centurions uniform and held a long staff with a small thin blade at the top. He walked into the cell and stopped in the middle looking around for a few seconds. He soon reached out and grabbed Neptune by the hair. As he dragged her out of the cage her shekels disappeared. Uranus began to scream and fight against the chains but she was struck across the face by the other guard to shut her up. Soon Neptune was gone from sight and Uranus had slowly begun to cry.

It seemed like an eternity before the guard returned, again without a sailor scout with him. When he came in the cell again he looked around at each scout, but when his gaze hit Venus he stopped. He reached down and grabbed a handful of Venus' golden hair and dragged her out of the cell. Venus kicked and screamed as she was brought along. The sounds of her friend voices calling her was the only thing she could here. A couple feet before you got to the cell Venus noticed that the Silent Glave, the Garnet Rod, the Space Sword, the Deep Aqua Mirror and the Eternal Saber all sat on a table. Venus quickly tried to form a plan to set her friends free and then find Neptune and Mercury. Before she could finish her thought, her body was thrown into a huge dirt filled circle. She sat up quickly and noticed she was thrown through a door and it promptly slammed shut behind her.

Venus stood and many blinding lights hit her body at once. She covered her eyes from the onslaught of light only to see a few moments later that she was trapped in some sort of arena. Suddenly the walls lifted and there was a crowd of at least a thousand or so different creatures and monsters all calling for blood. The another wall lifted and Venus saw a woman dressed very elegantly in all red with long purple flowing hair and long curving black fingernails. She waved her hand and the entire crowd became silent. Venus looked toward her.

"Since the other two proved to be worthy opponents against the lower class of creatures, we will raise this fighters opponent to class 4." the decree was maid and the iron door on the other side of the coliseum opened revealing a large large creature. The creatures face was long and had teeth jutting out from all sides of its mouth. Its eyes were massive and stretched from the middle to the sides of its head. Its body was extremely muscular and had what appeared to be razor sharp spikes all along its back and shoulders.

The creature lunged at Venus who expertly jumped out of its way. The creature came around for a second attack, but as soon as Venus hit the floor she pointed at the creature and shouted,

"CRESENT BEAM!!" The golden laser streaked from her finger tip and sliced the monster across the upper arm and chest as it turned around. The creature jumped up and began to descend on Venus. With no where to go Venus shot her chain of hearts upwards, lassoing the creature and swinging it down to her left side.

Venus then kissed her fore and middle fingers and a glowing heart appeared. She brought the heart down to about waist level and its circled her body. It then collected back into one heart as she shouted,

"VENUS, LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!"

The attack rammed right through the now standing monsters chest leaving a gapping hole. The creatures eyes rolled into the back of it's head and then fell over backward.

A guard suddenly appeared behind Venus and grabbed her pulling her out of the arena. Once out of the arena Venus grabbed the guard's arm and twisted it behind him. She called forth her love chain again and wrapped it around his neck.

"Take me to the other two!" Venus commanded, and to her surprise the guard obeyed with little hesitation. 'That was a little too easy.' Venus thought to herself as they reached a locked door. The guard had reached for and undid the lock and the door creaked open. There, chained to a wall were Neptune and Mercury.

"Unchain them. Now." Venus commanded and the guard again obeyed. One they were freed Neptune delivered an expert chop the guards neck and he immediately fell to the ground.

"Thanks a lot Venus." Mercury said giving her friend a hug. Neptune looked at Venus and smiled.

"Thanks, " she said quietly, but it was all Venus needed to hear.

"Ok guys, I have a plan. We have to make it back to the cell and free the others. Their weapons are like right next to the cell so even if we cant get the cell open all we have to do is toss them their weapons." Venus said she looked down the hall and there weren't any guards around at the moment so the three scouts sprinted down the hall way.

They got about two corners from the cells when an alarm went off. Over the loud speaker went and announcement,

"ATTENTION ALL PERSONAL, ATTENTION ALL PERSONAL. THE SAILOR SCOUTS FROM THE ARENA HOLDING CELL HAVE ESCAPED. FIND THEM AT ALL COST!"

"I guess that means we've been found." said Neptune. "So that means we don't have to be so subtle now." She stepped around the corner and a group of five guards saw her and were after her. Neptune raised her arms and a small green ball appeared in them. Ocean waves streamed into the ball as it grew larger. She spun around once and lowered her arms launching the ball while screaming,

"DEEP SUBMERGE!!" The water flooded the hall way taking the soldiers out of the scouts way so they could save their friends.

Soon the three scouts appeared in front of the cell with the weapons in hand. Mercury pulled the switch to release the chains but the keys were washed away with the guards. The tossed the weapons into the cell and they were claimed by their owners. Sailor Earth stepped forward and with one mighty slash, tore the cage door open freeing the rest of the scouts.

"Now on to Selestia!" Earth said with the cheer of all the scouts behind her. The ran through the long corridor and followed Earth to the royal throne room of the palace.

Uranus and Jupiter muscled the door to the chamber opened and the 11 scouts were now standing on red carpet.

"I always give my guest the red carpet treatment. Even if they've come to kill me." a voice said as the carpet began to lift up and carry the scouts upward. When they reached their destination they were finally face to face with Selestia. She had changed from the royal garbs she wore during the fight to battle gear. Her long purple hair was back into a ponytail and she now wore shoulder gear. She had on a chest plate as well as arm and leg armor. She sat in her throne sipping on a glass of red wine in one hand and held a long whip in the other.

"TAKE HER NOW!!" shouted Earth with a rage none of them had herd her emit before. Earth gripped the Eternal Saber tightly and ran toward Selestia with intent to kill. She was soon followed buy the other scouts. Selestia widened her eyes and the glowed a deep red. The same light soon surrounded Earth's body and she froze in her tracks, dropping the eternal saber. The other scouts stopped and looked at Earth, wide eyes and not knowing what to do. Earths body slowly turned around to face them and lowered to the ground. She looked at the other sailors and a evil smile crept across her face. She knelt down and picked up the eternal saber and pointed it toward them. She raised the fearsome weapon and it crackled with lightning.

"Welcome sailor scouts, to oblivion!"
