Chapter 10: The Sparkling Ginzuishou! The Moon Princess Appears
"Master..." Anubis muttered as he supported Tuxedo Kamen and teleported to the masked hero's apartment unit. "Do not push yourself too hard, Master." he advised, after Tuxedo Kamen changed back into Mamoru.
"I could not save her!" Mamoru cursed.
"You're still wounded, Master." Anubis reminded. "Granted Tanzanite is the healer between the four of us," he let out a small smile. "The rest of us Shitennou are capable of minor healing spells. You do not have your memories back, do you?" he blinked at Mamoru's confused look. "How to explain this without making me sound like I'm crazy..." he mused as he began healing Mamoru. "Simply put, I had been part of your original Shitennou. I was killed by my half-brother, the Kunzite at the pier; Tanzanite was back-stabbed by his twin, Zoisite; and Sai was murdered by his clone. And Kon..." Anubis swallowed. "He was taken by the dark forces when his region was overwhelmed, so he never died. Well, the wound's closed. It's a good thing we Shitennou took lessons with the Healing Corps."
"What a wonderful room." Zoisite came onto the TV screen.
"Castor." Kyouya growled, having reverted back to his human form. "How did you find us?"
"Once I pinpointed your energy signature, it was easy to find you." Zoisite tsked. "Kaneko Kyouya-kun."
"What do you want?" Mamoru snorted.
"Say, since we know who you are now, why don't we just go ahead and settle this?" Zoisite suggested.
"Settle this?" Mamoru echoed.
"That's right." Zoisite remarked. "We will fight for each other's Nijizuishou. Fair and square."
"Sounds good." Mamoru smirked. "Okay, I'm in."
"How about we meet at the skyscraper, Starlight Tower in the Bay Area?" Zoisite suggested. "Then, I'll be waiting for you at five this evening." with that, he faded off.
"You do realize this screams 'trap' right?" Kyouya deathpanned.
They're here. Zoisite sensed Mamoru and Kyouya entered his sensory wards.
"Zoisite?" Kyouya frowned when he felt the wards activate. "Mamoru-sama."
"Right." Mamoru nodded and the two turned into their alter egos, just as a red glow surrounded them and teleported them into the Tower.
"We have trouble." Minako informed the others at the Hikawa Shrine.
"Who are you?" Rei blinked.
"Did you forget about us already?" Artemis chided.
"Artemis!" Ami recognized the white cat.
"Then, you're Sailor Venus?" Usagi gaped.
"Normally, I go by the name Aino Minako." Minako introduced herself. "I'm in the 8th grade just like all of you. Anubis contacted me beforehand that he's going to Starlight Tower with Tuxedo Kamen after Zoisite demanded a fight for the Nijizuishou."
"According to our investigation, the enemy seems to be up to something at Starlight Tower." Artemis explained.
"If I can't contact Anubis, that must be it." Minako realized. "Anyway, let's hurry to Starlight Tower."
"Welcome." Zoisite greeted the two warriors. "I will leave my Nijizuishou here." he placed the crystals on the floor. "Now, hurry up and take yours out, too." he added and backed off.
"All right." Tuxedo Kamen put his crystal along with the others. "What's so funny?" he frowned when Zoisite chuckled.
"No, I'm just happy because you're so dumb." Zoisite mocked as Kunzite manifested above the crystals.
"Light Sniper!" Anubis' attack forced Kunzite to teleport off to dodge the light beam. "Mamoru-sama," he stage-whispered to Tuxedo Kamen, "I've already told Venus where we were going. We just have to stall them until the Senshi get here."
"So, this is the Starlight Tower." Sailor Mars remarked, the Senshi having arrived at the crystallized building.
"It looks like just another building." Sailor Jupiter noted.
"All the doors are closed." Sailor Mercury scanned the building with her visor.
"Meaning we can't get inside?" Luna echoed.
"Supreme Thunder!" Sailor Jupiter's lightning attack blasted the door open. "We'll just have to force out way in." she grinned. "Let's go."
"I found Tuxedo Kamen and Anubis." Sailor Mercury reported. "They're fighting Kunzite and Zoisite."
"Right." Sailor Venus nodded. "Let's hurry."
"Well, this isn't getting us anywhere." Anubis muttered as he and Tuxedo Kamen clashed once again with Kunzite and Zoisite in a stalemate.
"Moon Tiara Action!"
"Aqua Cutter!"
"Fire Soul!"
"Supreme Thunder!"
"Crescent Beam!"
Kunzite and Zoisite teleported away to dodge the combined attack.
Taking the opening, Anubis swooped in the grabbed the Nijizuishou on the floor and tossed it over to Sailor Moon.
"Hold the Nijizuishou in your hands." Luna instructed.
"In my hands?" Sailor Moon asked.
Artemis nodded, "Do as she says."
Sailor Moon nodded again and produced the Nijizuishou she had. The five crystals started glowing and vibrating. "What's going on?"
Sailor Mercury gasped as the Nijizuishou she was carrying came out of her fuku and fled towards Moon."Could it be..." she activated her visor.
Sailor Moon watched as the crystals all gathered in her hand, then she nodded, "I know what to do. Ginzuishou, I command you to show your true form!"
Luna gasped as the seven crystals glowed white, and a bigger, diamond-like crystal materialized floating over Sailor Moon's hands. The seven crystals then vanished. "She summoned the Ginzuishou..."
"That means..." Anubis added as Moon grabbed the new crystal.
"She's the Princess!" Artemis exclaimed.
Just then, Sailor Moon's fuku transformed into a beautiful white gown, and Tuxedo Kamen' turned into his Prince Endymion form, along with his sword.
SailorStar9: Well, that's one chapter down.
