Author's Note: Well this is it the eighth chapter. It seemed only a little while ago I was back on the first chapter and now I'm on the eight. I don't really have much to say right now. Thanks for all the reviews on the seventh chapter. I still have mild writer's block so again if this chapter doesn't seem as good as the others it's because of that. But then again, a good writer has to make all the chapters good even if they're suffering from writer's block. And sorry for the update being so late; I have several projects due for school. Anyways, this is the eighth chapter of ACAG.
Fanfic Shoutout: I would like to recommend Save Yourself written by dreamygirl88. This fanfic centers on Starlights and Senshi relationships especially Minako/Mina and Yaten. Even though it's not complete, the chapters available are really good.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any related characters. I do however own my original characters such as Tammy, Arcturus, Rick, Carmen etc.
Summary: In the last chapter all of the Knights and Senshi were asked to the Summer Dance. Arcturus was knocked out by a demon and still is in his coma. Rini wonders if he'll ever wake up again. Read on for the eighth chapter.
Chapter 8: A Small Set Back (R):
All the princesses were looking at a bunch of outfits in one of their favourite boutiques for what they were going to wear for the Summer Dance. "Ooh I like this one!" Tammy squealed. She pulled out a knee length orange and gold sundress. The dress was orange and the designs were in gold.
"Nice pick. Now what do you think of this?" Rini asked. She took out a white shirt with a pink collar and a red bow at the back. She added pink suspenders and then showed a pink pleated skirt.
"Rini you might as well go to the dance with your Senshi uniform because both outfits look exactly the same! The only thing that's different is that you added the pink suspenders!" Kimiko giggled.
"But my favourite colors are only pink, white, red and blue. I like other colors too but they're not my favourites," Rini stated. "And I want to look like I'm going to a dance, not a formal dinner party and not dressing like I'm going to school."
"Then maybe you should try something a little different like pink and blue instead of red or white," Tsunami suggested. Rini sighed; picking an outfit for a girl like her wasn't easy.
"Hmm let me see if I can do something about it," Tammy said. She then went on outfit frenzy, looking for something for Rini to wear. Tammy stopped at one rack and her eyes widened. "I have the perfect outfit for you!" Tammy exclaimed. She pulled out a light pink mid-sleeved shirt with a white vest and a light blue pleated skirt.
"Wow that does look nice," Rini said.
"And if you don't like it we can change the colors like a white shirt and a pink vest," Tammy replied. Rini closed her eyes, imagining she was at the Summer Dance. She was wearing the outfit with the shirt being white and the vest being pink. Arcturus held out his hand and led her to the dance floor where they started to danceā¦
Rini opened her eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek but she quickly wiped it away. She sighed; she couldn't stop thinking about him. "I like the white shirt and pink vest," she stated. Tammy handed the clothes to Rini and made her go try it on.
"If you can do that for Rini can you pick something for me too?" Yume asked. All the others started asking for help too.
"Sorry girls but I cannot share these natural talents. This gift my mom passed down to me should not be given to anyone else," Tammy said with a dramatic voice. Yume rolled her eyes at her.
"Ooo I like this outfit! Thanks," Rini thanked Tammy as she came out of the change room. The outfit fitted her perfectly and it brought out Rini's smile.
"Anytime," she responded then went back to looking at the clothes. By the time it was lunch all of the girls had their outfits picked. The girls went out in the Palace, looking for the princes. Finally they spotted them in the game room, playing virtual video games.
"Aeneas you should see the outfit the girls helped me pick out!" Kimiko exclaimed as she went over to him.
"I bet you will be the prettiest," Aeneas said then brought her in and kissed her. Kimiko deepened it while Kenzo just scowled. The two broke apart and Aeneas put one arm over her shoulders.
"Kenzo you're just jealous because you don't have a date to the dance," Aeneas taunted.
"I do so!" Kenzo yelled then clasped his hand over his mouth. He braced himself for what was coming next.
"Aww Kenzo has a girlfriend!" Yume cooed.
"I thought he said he was too good to have a girlfriend," Maximillian said. They continued asking questions and kept on talking before Kenzo can answer all the questions. He was almost home-free but then Kimiko just had to ask the question he was avoiding.
"Who is she?" Kimiko demanded and Kenzo looked at his feet. He didn't say anything as fire began dancing in Kimiko's eyes. "Who is she?" Kimiko repeated, her tone getting louder.
"Fine she's Joanie. Now can I go?" Kenzo said, heading to the door. "Besides I thought you liked her," he finished.
"I only liked how she wasn't hanging out with Carmen anymore. That doesn't mean I like her," Kimiko snapped.
"Well I do; she's feisty, hot and best of all she's a Martian like us. Now you know how it feels when your sibling doesn't like the person you're hanging out with," Kenzo said and was almost out of the room but Aeneas blocked the door.
"I don't want to deal with you right now Fairy Boy so can you move out of the way?" Kenzo asked with his tone rising as he forced his fists not to strike.
"I don't know, can I?" Aeneas mocked then laughed. Kenzo growled then tried again.
"May you move out the way?" he tried.
"First of all that doesn't make sense to me and second of all you forgot the magic word," Aeneas replied.
"Fairy Boy move out of the way before I make you," Kenzo growled. Aeneas was about to argue back but then his eyes met Kimiko's. Kimiko was giving Aeneas the deathliest glare he ever saw on her face. He quickly moved out of the way and Kenzo left.
"Somebody should really make a drama based on our daily lives," Ariel mumbled under her breath. And everyone had to admit it, their lives were full of drama.
/*/*/
Uratoh was running to the infirmary room when he tripped and fell. He looked at his knee which was cut and now bleeding. "Oh crap," he muttered and closed his eyes and concentrated on the wound. His hand started to glow purple and he opened his eyes. He waved his hand over the cut a few times then it stopped bleeding. Uratoh's hand stopped glowing and his knee only left a scar that looked like it wasn't there in the first place.
Uratoh smiled and continued running to the infirmary room. Neo-Queen Serenity, King Endymion, King Shingo and Queen Hotaru had pulled Uratoh away from the group the day they got their powers. They informed him that he too had healing abilities but they were much stronger than Tsunami's. He was running to the infirmary because Rini said she wanted him to meet her there.
Uratoh reached the room and stopped to take a breath. He opened the door and saw Rini and Tammy.
"Uratoh remember when my mom told you that you had strong healing powers?" Rini asked.
Uratoh nodded, "Why you ask?"
"Well I was thinking if we can combine Tammy's strong energy and your healing powers we could wake Arcturus up," Rini said.
"But Rini I've never done this before," Tammy responded and Uratoh nodded as well. He only healed minor wounds like cuts and scrapes. He never healed somebody who was severely hurt and in a coma.
"Just try please, I think it's the only way," Rini begged. The two nodded and both of them closed their eyes, concentrating on Arcturus. The sign of Saturn started glowing on his forehead while the sign of Venus glowed on Tammy's. Tammy lifted her hands towards Arcturus and Uratoh did the same. An orange light emerged from her hands and Arcturus started glowing. A purple light came out of Uratoh's hands and encircled Arcturus. The two opened their eyes and the light stopped but nothing happened.
Tammy started thinking and suddenly an idea popped into her head. She turned to Rini, "I think we're missing a very important element here." Rini thought for a second then she knew what Tammy was talking about.
"The Silver Imperial Crystal; it will give him a power boost. But how am I supposed to get the crystal?" Rini asked.
"Sorry Rini that it has to come to this but you must find some way to get the crystal away from the Queen," Tammy said and Rini gasped.
"But can't we just get my mother give Uratoh more power so he can heal Arcturus?" Rini asked and Tammy shook her head.
"I don't think it will work since both Uratoh and I are not adults so transferring the power from your mother to both us won't work. Besides we are not the son or daughter of the Queen; you are the one who must do it," Tammy stated and Rini sighed. The last time she tried to touch the crystal it disappeared and the enemies attacked, causing Neo-Queen Serenity to fall into a deep sleep.
However, somebody already knew that Rini was going to attempt to use the crystal. That person was Queen Setsuna. Even though she was a queen now, she still remains the guardian of time. She still has her time staff although all of the queens' transformation pens were given to their daughters. Since Queen Haruka and Queen Setsuna didn't have any daughters, they were allowed to keep theirs until they had daughters.
/*/*/
Queen Setsuna sat on her throne in the throne room of Castella Palace. Court was just released so the time guardian decided to check on Crystal Tokyo to see how the princesses and princes have been doing. She had her Time Crystal in front of her; it took a few seconds but it started to glow. Inside the crystal she saw Rini, Tammy and Uratoh. She can hear everything they were saying and then she smirked.
"So Rini is planning to use the Silver Imperial Crystal. I must tell the Queen quickly then," Queen Setsuna said to herself then transformed into her Senshi uniform. She created a portal and went through it.
/*/*/
Sailor Pluto came through the portal and went into the throne room of Crystal Palace. She saw Neo-Queen Serenity there, slightly bored and King Endymion. The chief delegate announced her arrival as she came in the room.
"Announcing Queen Setsuna of Pluto," the delegate said and Sailor Pluto approached the two and took Serenity's hands as she kissed her on both cheeks. She then did a curtsy and King Endymion responded by giving her a slight bow.
"Ahh Setsuna, I see you're in your Senshi form. Is there a reason why you paid a visit to us so quickly?" Neo-Queen Serenity asked.
"I was looking through the Time Crystal when I saw that Rini is attempting to take the Silver Crystal and use it," Sailor Pluto. "I think this will be good for her; to get used to her powers with the crystal," she continued.
"So you're trying to say to let her steal the crystal away from me?" Serenity responded.
"Well not steal more like not showing that you're on to her," Sailor Pluto said. Serenity thought about this but then she agreed. She told Setsuna that she was going to leave the crystal in her chambers and put a protective seal over it that only Rini can break.
/*/*/ A hour later, Neo-Queen Serenity's bedroom /*/*/
Rini gulped as she opened the door to her mother's sleeping chambers. She had been in there plenty of times before. When Rini was younger and had nightmares, she would come into her mother's room and sleep there for the night.
Rini went to the back of the room and found the door she was looking for. She opened it but she didn't need to turn on the light. This was the room where Neo-Queen Serenity would put any sceptres she had when she was Sailor Moon and it even had a giant computer where Endymion would research any information about enemies they were facing.
In the middle of the room, the Silver Imperial Crystal was on a pillow with a protective seal over it. 'She must have done that because of the Dark Knights' Rini thought. Since they didn't know a lot of information about the Dark Knights and with the incident with Arcturus, all of the Senshi and Knights had to watch their backs.
She approached the crystal, hoping the seal would break. Rini reached for the crystal and her hand just went through the seal. She smiled and took the crystal then ran off to the infirmary room. 'I'm coming Arcturus, wait for me'she thought happily as she ran.
Rini got to the infirmary room and saw Tammy and Uratoh waiting. "You guys I got it!" she exclaimed then showed them the crystal.
"Great! Now we can perform the task of waking Arcturus up. But I think this time we should hold hands. Just to make sure it works," Tammy said. Uratoh and Rini nodded.
'Please let this work' Rini thought in her head. They all joined hands and closed their eyes; their planetary colors (Rini's pink) glowing around them. First Tammy had to focus her energy and an orange glow surrounded Arcturus and began to lift him about one meter or so off the bed. Uratoh was next and his purple glow encircled Arcturus.
Tammy let go of Rini's hand but still kept Uratoh's. Rini kept her eyes closed and aimed the crystal towards Arcturus. "Moon Crystal Power," she recited and finally a pink and sliver light covered him. They all opened their eyes and Arcturus fell back gently to his bed. Rini bit her lip but then she saw his eyes flicker and then open!
"Rini what's going on here? Why am I in the infirmary?" Arcturus moaned then put his hand over his head. "And why are you grinning at me like that?" he asked and tears began forming in her eyes.
"Arcturus you're awake! It worked!" Rini exclaimed and pulled him into a hug. She started crying tears of joy and Arcturus just stroked her hair gently. "And Arcturus," Rini began.
"What is it?" Arcturus asked and Rini leaned in closer until she stopped with a small gap between her face and Arcturus'.
"I love you," Rini whispered then kissed him passionately. Arcturus was shocked but then he just deepened the kiss. They broke apart and Arcturus pulled her into another hug.
"So what happened to me anyway?" Arcturus said, noticing the bandages across his torso and around his forehead.
"When we were at the park you jumped in front of me when the demon shot a black energy ball at me. The black energy ball collided hit you and knocked you out and you were in a coma for about a week or so," Rini explained.
"I guessed I missed a lot then," Arcturus replied.
"Yeah you-," Rini trailed off. She began to feel dizzy and tired and then she just collapsed into Arcturus' arms. Arcturus face turned alarmed and so did Tammy's and Uratoh's. Tammy started to walk to Rini but then she felt exhausted too and then fell into Uratoh's arms that could barely keep her up.
"Uratoh go get the Queen and King, fast!" Arcturus ordered. Uratoh laid Tammy down on the chair then ran to find the king and queen.
Queen Ami came out of Rini's bedroom. Some servants had taken Rini and Tammy to their bedrooms so they can lie down.
"Ami, did you find out what's wrong with them?" Neo-Queen asked, concerned. She was holding hands with King Endymion who was worried too. They'd also contacted Queen Minako and Consort Connor Aino and told them what happened. Queen Minako said they were coming right away even if there was no need to.
"They are just exhausted from the amount of energy they used; they just need to get some rest," Queen Ami said putting her small computer away and turning off her visor. Queen Ami was still allowed to keep her computer and visor in case of emergencies.
Suddenly Queen Minako and Consort Connor Aino came through a portal. "Is she alright? Are they both alright?" Queen Minako asked, worried about her only daughter.
"Yes they both need to get some rest and then they'll be as good as new. Tammy collapsed probably because she never used that energy before and she never used it to that extent I might add," Queen Ami explained. "And Rini, she never used crystal on her own before so that must of taken a lot of power out of her," she finished.
Consort Connor Aino let out a sigh of relief and so did the rest of the princes and princesses. "But why didn't Uratoh get tired?" Ariel asked.
"Probably because he already used his healing powers before so it didn't make much of a difference except for the large power boost," Queen Ami answered.
"I'm glad they're alright," Maximillian said and everyone agreed.
Queen Ami went over to Arcturus, "I hope you thank Uratoh, Tammy and Rini for waking you up." She then hugged him and Arcturus smiled. 'Don't worry mom I will' Arcturus thought. King Endymion, Consort Connor Aino and the queens walked off talking about some royal stuff. Ariel told her friends that she will be right back then ran off around the corner.
"So you guys tell me what I missed," Arcturus said and everybody began informing him of the past few days.
/*/*/ In a different corridor /*/*/
Ariel was walking down the hallway when she saw Seta strangling a servant. "I want you to tell me who Sailor Mercury is!" Seta demanded.
"Sailor Mercury is Princess Mercury," the servant said out of breath.
"I know that but I want you to tell me her real name!" Seta shouted.
"I don't...know," the servant whimpered and Seta began choking him harder. Ariel then ducked behind a column in the corner and took out her transformation pen.
"Mercury Eternal Power! Make-Up!" Ariel recited then transformed into Sailor Mercury. She ran out of the corner and Seta stopped and looked.
"Hey Seta, are you looking for me?" Sailor Mercury smirked.
An evil smirk crawled its way to his lips, "Yes I am." He dropped the servant who was gasping for air and then the servant ran off. "Now I don't want to fight you. Just let me take a look at your sacred heart crystal, that's all. Then you can become one of us," Seta said.
"Never! Mercury Rapid Waterfall Splash!" Sailor Mercury shouted. Seta blocked behind a black force shield and the attack dissolved against it.
"Sailor Mercury you've made me mad," Seta said. Before Sailor Mercury knew what was going on, Seta grabbed her by the neck and began choking her. "Tell you what, I'll take a look at your sacred heart crystal and I'll make sure pain goes fast and then you'll die quickly," he finished.
He pressed his hand against her stomach and a black light began to form. The light surrounded Sailor Mercury and she screamed in pain. She fell against the floor with her sacred heart crystal hovering above her. Seta examined the sacred heart crystal then frowned.
"She has a true sacred heart crystal but not the one we are looking for. Too bad. Maybe if I wait a little longer, her transformation will fade," Seta sighed. He was just about to step on the crystal when he was disturbed.
"Pluto Mystic Time Blast!" Pluto Knight yelled and the attack hit Seta and sent him flying. The others came following quickly after and Seta struggled getting up. Knight Jupiter's eyes widened as he saw Sailor Mercury knocked out on the floor. He grew mad, then angry and then furious.
"Nobody does that to my girl!" Jupiter Knight shouted in rage then got his sledge hammer out. "Thunder and Lightning Explosion!" he yelled. The attack hit Seta again and smoke filled the air around him. The smoke cleared and Seta was there struggling on his knees to get up.
"You stupid knight! You will pay for that!" Seta shouted. A black light blasted out from his hands and hit Jupiter Knight. He yelled in pain then collapsed to the floor beside Sailor Mercury. His sacred heart crystal floated to Seta but he knew it wasn't the one he was looking for. Seta then disappeared into the black portal hole.
He left behind a demon that was hard to describe but it looked very strong and scary looking. The demon sucked up a huge amount of air then blew it all out. The gust of wind blew against the Senshi and Knights. They struggled against the wind and they all fell. The demon went over to Sailor Mercury's and Jupiter Knight's sacred heart crystal and ate them. Their transformations faded.
The demon attacked with large black energy balls which made the Senshi and Knights fall back against the wall.
"Mars Flaming Fire Twister!"
"Jupiter Flora and Fauna Earthquake!"
"Venus Golden Energy Arrows!" Venus Knight shouted. All the attacks hit the demon right on target but the demon was unharmed; they all gasped.
"It's not working!" Sailor Mars cried.
"Saturn Vital Shadow Wave!" Sailor Saturn tried.
"Mars Blazing Inferno!" Mars Knight yelled. Again the attacks did nothing to the demon. The demon shot more black energy balls and the Senshi and Knights yelled in pain.
"We have to do something! Not just for us but for Ariel and Maximillian too!" Sailor Jupiter cried out in worry. Ariel was turner paler and paler and so was Maximillian which was not a good sign. Suddenly, Mercury Knight had an idea and stood up.
"Arcturus you're still recovering, you can't fight!" Sailor Saturn cried.
"I've got to do something; she's my little sister," Mercury Knight replied. He then faced Uranus Knight and Sailor Neptune. "You two I need your help," he said. They both nodded and faced the demon.
"Neptune Sea Aqua Mist!" Sailor Neptune yelled. Mist surrounded the demon who was now confused.
"Mercury Double Trident Blast!" Mercury Knight shouted. The attack hit the demon and it staggered back. Mercury Knight faced Uranus Knight. "It's your turn," he said.
Uranus Knight unsheathed his sword and ran towards the demon. He jumped into the air and shouted, "Uranus Fatal Sword Shear!" The demon cried in pain and it fell back.
"We can't finish the job without Rini though!" Sailor Neptune reminded them all. They all looked at Maximillian and Ariel and felt scared for them.
/*/*/
Tammy was sleeping but she was having a nightmare. She saw the Senshi and Knights having trouble with a demon because Sailor Moon wasn't there. Tammy also saw Ariel and Maximillian unconscious on the floor with their faces really pale. Tammy woke up panting and clutching her shirt. 'It wasn't a dream! It's for real; they're in trouble' Tammy thought.
She staggered up and leaned against the wall for support. When Tammy was stable she ran to Rini's room. "Rini wake up our friends are in danger!" Tammy shouted. Rini moaned and got out of her bed.
"What happened to them?" Rini asked.
"Ariel's and Maxy's sacred heart crystals got eaten. But enough with the talking, we got to transform now!" Tammy responded and Rini nodded.
"Supreme Moon Power! Make-Up!" Rini yelled.
"Venus Eternal Power! Make-Up!" Tammy shouted. They both transformed and began running when they both felt dizzy. The two stopped for a second and regained a little of their energy. Then the two ran off in the direction where the other Senshi and Knights were.
Meanwhile with the Senshi and Knights, the demon woke up. It was about to throw more black energy balls but it was interrupted.
"Venus Beautiful Star Shower!" Sailor Venus recited. A bunch of gold stars hit the demon and Sailor Venus held onto the wall for balance. She and Rini were still feeling a little energy loss.
"You disturbed us when we were trying to getting a little sleep. But most importantly, you hurt my friends! I am the pretty champion of justice, Sailor Moon and in the name of the moon I will punish-," Sailor Moon stopped and moaned. She felt dizzier but she gripped her sceptre very tight.
"Venus Heart Whip Encircle!" Sailor Venus yelled and the heart whip tied around the demon. "Sailor Moon I can only hold it for so long," Sailor Venus told Sailor Moon who nodded.
She pointed her sceptre at the demon but she could hardly hold it up since she felt so tired. Sailor Moon then felt two hands hold up hers and Sailor Moon looked back. She saw Mercury Knight and smiled at him. "Pink Crystal Moon Power Attack!" she yelled. The demon cried in pain and all that was left was pink moon dust and Ariel's and Maximillian's sacred heart crystals. The crystal floated back to Ariel and Maxy and their faces regained their color.
"My little mermaid, you're alright!" Maximillian exclaimed and picked Ariel up in the air. Ariel smiled and hugged him then kissed him. All of them de-transformed then started to walk to their rooms. It was night and they had to get a lot of sleep because tomorrow was their second last day of summer classes. They were having their free day tomorrow and the last day of summer classes.
"Arcturus I feel tired," Rini said then fell into Arcturus' arms. He smiled then picked her up and carried her bridal-style. Tammy was walking but then she felt exhausted as well and tripped. She landed in somebody's arms. She looked up and saw Takemara's deep crimson concerned eyes staring at her.
"You alright?" he asked. For a second Tammy felt all the things she used to feel towards him. But then she remembered that kiss and anger filled her mind again.
"I'm fine," Tammy said a little too sharply. She got away from Takemara's arms and stood up straight.
"Are you sure? I can help you," Takemara said.
"I said I'm fine!" Tammy snapped then ran away. Takemara tried to hide his face from the others and walked away.
/*/*/ Next day at Royal Academy (lunch) /*/*/
"You think WHAT?" Kimiko nearly yelled.
"I know you heard me. I think the Knights are better and stronger than the Senshi. All you guys do is say some dumb hero speech and do a lame pose. We guys actually do the real work. Besides, you girls are the ones getting yourself in trouble and we have to be pulled down with you," Kenzo answered. Kimiko hit him on the head and he punched her back.
"Hel-lo Rini is the leader of all of us and the one that actually defeats the demon! And she's a girl; you're the ones who do nothing!" Tammy argued. She wasn't going to let Kenzo win this fight. She was too stubborn to allow that to happen.
"We do so! We have more awesome powers than you guys do," Aeneas shot back. Tammy couldn't be that her brother was siding with his rival for the first time. Such bad timing.
"Maxy are you going to let your friends talk smack about us?" Ariel asked. Maximillian looked down at the floor, not wanting to answer the question. Ariel's eyes widened, "I can't believe you're siding with them!"
"Sorry Ariel but us guys do have to stick together," Maximillian replied and Ariel crossed her arms.
Kenzo patted Maxy's back, "I knew you would stay faithful."
"Too bad Ariel but I know my Arcturus will never side against me," Rini said and Arcturus looked away. "Arcturus! You're under Kenzo's spell too!" Rini couldn't believe it; her boyfriend was siding with a guy who thought the Knights are better than the Senshi.
"I don't really agree with him but he's my friend," Arcturus said.
"But I'm your girlfriend and don't forget to mention your princess! Don't you think I matter just a teeny bit more?" Rini commented but Arcturus just shrugged.
"Ok some of us disagree a little with Kenzo and Aeneas. But as friends we guys do have to stick together. You girls would understand with your sisterhood and all," Takemara stated.
"But that doesn't mean the Knights are better than the Senshi. We girls are the ones who have the stronger attacks. Rini is the strongest of us all. Our mothers were Senshi and are the ones who gave you the powers. So right now, the power that's in your body used to belong to girls!" Yume clarified and the boys looked horrified.
"That doesn't matter because we guys transformed our mothers' powers into Knight powers," Aeneas argued. The bell rang and the girls took their lunch boxes.
"Rini I hope you understand. This doesn't affect our relationship right?" Arcturus asked and Rini didn't answer. Instead she just put away her lunch box and got her backpack.
"Same goes with me Ariel," Maximillian said and Ariel just ignored him.
"Yeah Kimiko I love you but you know guys are just better," Aeneas told Kimiko and she glared at him then walked off. "Maybe I shouldn't have added the last part," Aeneas wondered and Tammy just shook her head.
"Man girls are so emotional and moody. I don't know how you three can handle them," Kenzo said. That smart remark earned him a slap across the face by Tammy.
"Think about what you're going to say before you actually say it!" Tammy shouted at Kenzo. She huffed then walked off with the rest of the girls.
"Dude you just got owned by a girl!" Arcturus laughed and so did the other princes. Kenzo just scowled at them then got his backpack.
/*/*/
Neo-Queen Serenity told the princes and princesses that they weren't spending a lot of time with their guardians. As a result, she told them to spend some time with them at the park. Their guardians were in cat form because they had no reason to be in their human form.
Tammy was holding Thor and kept playing with him and petting him. "Maxine you are so lucky! Thor is so cute when he's in his cat form. And thanks for letting me play with him; Aeneas is hogging Phoebe," Tammy said to Maxine in the park. The princes and princesses separated into two groups because of the earlier argument. The girls told Tsunami what happened while the boys told Hiroshi and Uratoh. Since Kenzo started the whole thing he was the leader for the boys while Kimiko was the leader for the girls.
"Your highness you know I'm not a child," Thor said but he enjoyed being in the arms of the Venusian princess.
"Ugh I hate being called 'your highness' it's so formal! Just call me Tammy," Tammy told Thor and he nodded.
"You guys are lucky! You actually get to catch up with your guardians," Kimiko complained, "Kenzo is keeping Seth as far as he can away from me."
"Kimiko please don't even mention his name," Ariel said.
"Oh so I take it that you are in a fight with the princes?" Thor asked and Rini nodded. 'Interesting' Thor thought and leaped out of Tammy's arms. He walked over to Athena and whispered in her ear. Her eyes widened and she nodded furiously. Thor ran off to Corvus, Phoebe, Columba and Seth. Athena whispered to Diana, Risa and Capella and their ears perked up.
"Do you think that will really work?" Rini heard Diana ask. Rini didn't understand what was happening at all.
"Princesses please follow us," Athena said and the girls followed after the cats. Athena guided them to where the boys and the rest of the guardians were.
"You know I was thinking we could have a little competition here," Thor said.
"We guardians will be out in an area in that small forest back there," Corvus pointed to the small forest at the end of the park. "You are to race against your sibling to get to your guardian before your sibling does. If you manage to do so, for now on your guardian will only train that winner. The loser can't speak with us and accompany us or whatever," he finished.
"Say if Yume and Uratoh were racing to get me. If Yume got to where I was first I will only train her and not Uratoh. Uratoh will not be able to see me or talk with me without Yume's permission," Risa explained. The guardians all knew they wouldn't be allowed to do that; it would go against Serenity's orders. But they planned to get the princes and princesses lost so that they can make up and the fighting will be over.
"Since Rini and Takemara are half-siblings they would be racing against each other in order to get me and Columba. Whoever gets to us first, we will train only that person," Diana clarified.
"Same thing goes with Hiroshi and Tsunami," Capella said.
"So who wants to go first?" Phoebe asked and Kenzo stepped forward.
"I as the leader representative for the princes will go first. Now you have to get my wimpy so-called twin to work up the courage just to leave the starting line with me," Kenzo laughed and the princes cheered.
"I am not wimpy and I'm going to prove to you boys that bragging will get you nowhere," Kimiko glared at Kenzo. Seth nodded and ran off to the back of the forest area.
"On your mark. Get set. Go!" Phoebe shouted and the two took off. They ran as fast as they could. Kenzo was just a little ahead but Kimiko was just as close. The two thought they could almost see Seth but instead they saw Seta.
"Oh I see we have some lost kids," Seta snickered.
"You better move or I'll knock you into the 31st century!" Kenzo warned. Seta laughed and raised his hand and a black light came out and blasted them out of his sight. Kenzo took this opportunity to transform.
"Mars Knight Power! Make-Up!" Kenzo shouted and transformed. Kimiko got her transformation pen out but Mars Knight stopped her. "Kimiko leave the work to the real heroes," he said then ran off.
"Yeah right! Mars Eternal Power! Make-Up!" Kimiko yelled and she transformed into Sailor Mars. She ran off in the direction where Seta was.
"Stop right there! There is no way I'm letting you get away! I am the Senshi of fire Sailor Mars. And if I were you I would start running!" Sailor Mars shouted Seta.
"See I knew it! You guys just say a lame speech!" Mars Knight pointed out.
"Well unlike you I actually save people!" Sailor Mars shot back. The two started fighting and Seta was just standing there.
"Hel-lo! You know the bad guy is over here!" Seta shouting at the two, waving his arms frantically but they didn't notice. He saw the rest of the Knights run in, following the Senshi.
"Hey what are they doing here?" demanded Mars Knight.
"We told them to go away but they didn't listen!" Venus Knight responded.
"You actually thought we were going to let you do everything by yourselves!" Sailor Venus argued. 'Oh so the Knights and Senshi are having problems. Well in that case I will leave a special demon' Seta thought.
Since Sailor Mars' and Mars Knight's backs were facing Seta, he thought that they should be his targets. A black light emerged from his hand and covered Sailor Mars and Mars Knight, causing them to shout in pain. Their sacred heart crystals floated to Seta and he inspected them.
"Well neither of them are the ones we're looking for but it doesn't matter anyway," Seta said then left through a black hole. In his place was a demon that looked strange yet strong and ate the sacred heart crystals. Their transformations faded.
"See, look what you guys did. Always causing trouble!" Venus Knight said.
"It doesn't matter! Right now we got to defeat that monster!" Sailor Saturn reminded them. She attacked first, "Saturn Vital Shadow Wave!" That made the demon stagger back.
Jupiter Knight looked like he was going to attack next but Sailor Jupiter interfered. "Jupiter Flora and Fauna Earthquake!" Sailor Jupiter shouted and made the demon fly high into the trees. It stumbled down to the ground below.
"Venus Beautiful Star Shower!" Sailor Venus yelled.
"Neptune Sea Aqua Mist!" Sailor Neptune was next.
"Mercury Rapid Waterfall Splash! Sailor Mercury recited. All the attacks hit the demon, which was seriously harmed. "Sailor Moon, your turn!" Sailor Mercury said and she nodded.
"Pink Crystal Moon Power Attack!" Sailor Moon yelled. But before the attack could hit the demon, it blew out a mist that surrounded the Senshi and Knights included Kimiko and Kenzo. But to them it didn't matter because the attack hit the demon and the crystals were left floating to their owners.
"See that was all girl power!" Sailor Jupiter exclaimed and high fived all of the Senshi. The mist was still surrounding everyone but they didn't think about it.
The mist cleared up and Kenzo and Kimiko woke up. "What happened? Why am I standing over there?" Kimiko asked.
"Why am I standing over there?" Kenzo asked as he pointed to north.
"It's weird because I'm right here but I'm over there!" Tammy said. She was talking but her body was standing where she was standing before. The other Senshi and Knights looked to see that their bodies were not where they were.
"I know now! We all switched bodies with our siblings!" Yume cried. She was in Uratoh's body.
"So me and Rini switched bodies too?" Takemara asked. He was in Rini's body.
"This is so creepy and disgusting! I don't want to be in Kenzo's body!" Kimiko cried.
"Hey it's not so fun in Arcturus' body either!" Ariel said. Arcturus (well actually Ariel) took out her computer and starting pressing buttons. "Yep it seems we are in our siblings' bodies. It was caused by that mist but there is a cure, I'll talk with my mother about this," Ariel finished.
"This is so sick and wrong! I feel two bumps in a certain area where there weren't any bumps before!" Hiroshi said with disgust. He was in Tsunami's body.
"I don't want to be a girl!" Kenzo shouted.
"Tammy you have so much freaking hair!" Aeneas was blowing Tammy's hair out of his eyes. They all continued to complain until Maximillian spoke up.
"We better tell our guardians about this and the Queen!" Maximillian said as he was in Maxine's body. They all agreed and ran back to the park.
A/N: Yes I'm finally done! Sorry it took so long to update. I wasn't thinking of switching bodies until now so I hope you enjoyed that! It might seem a little confusing but it isn't. Basically they all switched bodies with their siblings or half-siblings but they all will be keeping their names during this switch. But others like people at school will call them by whoever they're in. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry I didn't include the Summer Dance in this one but for sure it will be in the next. I promise and I won't back down on this one. I'm starting the ninth chapter now so don't worry. Please read and review! Thanks!
