Sailor Takao Chapter 10.2
The air was pleasantly warm and the bird sang their song. "Oh wow! This place is beautiful!" sang a voice. Catherine took a step towards the railing as she admired the view before her. She was wearing a simple white summer dress. It was late afternoon, the group was hanging out in a park. Ray had decided to take the girls to one of his special dating spots. Takao had brought Hilary with them to enjoy the view.
"What a view! You can see the whole city!" Maxine cheer joyously. The wind blew a gentle breeze tickling the blonde causing the young girl to giggle. The blonde wore a baby pink sleeveless top with a sky blue A line skirt. Takao pulled her cap down further to hide her dust pink cheeks. It was the first she was willing to show off her legs. The blue hair teen wore blue jean hot pants with yellow shirt that had lace along the neckline. It was something that Catherine had suggested. It was similar to her other fits, but more girly. Takao was happy she could still wear her ball cap.
"Wouldn't it be great to go out on the lake with some hot guy?" Hilary sigh heavenly.
"And this is one of your dating spots?" Catherine perked up as she leaned against the railing. Ray, dress in a simple white and grey basketball shirt and pair of loose fitting jeans. A grin appeared upon his grin. He had taken the girls to one of many parks that surrounded their area. In the park peculiarly, the trees were a shade darker and it offer boat rides.
"Yep! This is where I take all my precious hunnies!" All four girls sign in delight as they enjoyed the view before them.
"All your precious hunnies huh?" Maxine began to tease.
"So, why show us your secret spot?" wonder Takao. Ray scratched his cheek.
"Well, each of you seems down in the dumps. I then I thought to myself. What would cheer the girls up, then this place comes to mind." Smiled the raven hair teen.
"Awe, that was sweet of you." Catherine wore a warm smile as she continued to gaze onto the lake before her. "Do you mind I if I bring someone else here?" wondered the older teen.
"Sure, it's a free country." Ray suggested. "Come! I want to you guys to meet someone!" The all four girls perked up as they followed the teen further into the park. They came to a beautiful flowerbed, where an older gentleman, wearing a city uniform was busy garden. "Hey Mr. Wilson." The teen called out. The old man perked up as he turns to face the group.
"Oh Ray! How nice to see you!" smiled the old man. The girls looked at each other with odd looks. "Ah! So you finally a brought a date," The girls looked. "Four dates, wow you dog." Mr. Wilson teases the raven hair boy. Ray chuckled.
"Nah, its just my friends and family." Smiled the teen. Ray introduce the girls each to the older man.
"So, you take care of this big park all by yourself?" Catherine asked in disbelieve. The group had found bunch of benches to sit on. The old man chuckled.
"Heh, sometimes, but mostly I have Ray here to help me take care of the park." Mr. Wilson nudged the teen. Ray chuckled as he half hearten tried to swipe at the old man. "But, it seems things aren't going be so." Spoke the old man. The girl's eyes widen.
"Wait! You mean our petition went ignored by city hall?" the old man nodded while Ray looked annoyed.
"Petition? What is going on?" wondered Hilary.
"Ray and I gather signatures to help save the park to show that there are people who care about this park, but…."
"But there is this new start up company that wants build here. It's very frustrating how the world seems to be control by money." Ray narrowed his gaze. Takao notice his clench fist.
"We'll that's life, I guess all we can do is enjoy the park while we can. Thank for visiting Ray." Smiled the old man as he went back to the flowerbed.

Dragoon was searching up and down the streets. The little blue lizard let out a heavy sigh. "Why can I not find those guys? I want to go over some ideas." Dragoon wasn't really pay attention to where he was going. Then a loud honking caught his attention. Turning towards the sound, the lizard spazzed out at the huge vehicle hurling towards him. The lizard could see his life flashing before his eyes.
"Whoa there!" It happen so fast, the lizard was dizzy and in daze. "Are you alright little guy?" the lizard flinched as he looked up. He stared wide eye at the dual hair teen. "Boy, you don't look like a normal cat." The human that picked him up was very stunning. He stared at Dragoon with his maroon eyes. "Hmm… I don't see a collar." Dragoon wasn't sure if he should start meowing.
"Dragoon?!" Once the name had left those soft lips, a sharp gasp could be heard. Takao narrowed her gaze onto the person who had held the cat. "What are you doing to my kitty!" came a hiss. Kai narrowed his gaze in annoyances.
"You need to start taking better care of your pets." He spoke. "I just save this poor thing from becoming road kill pipsqueak!" came a growl. Kai didn't like the idea of getting chew out.
"He is none of your business!" Takao ripped the animal from Kai's arms. "Dragoon isn't just your ordinary cat you know! He's really special!" Takao narrowed her gaze onto the taller teen. Every time she sees this guy, he's always pushing her buttons.
"Takao!" Ray and Maxine came over. "You really stop it." spoke the dark hair teen.
"Yeah, we should be thanking him for saving Dragoon." Maxine added.
"Why are you taking his side!" snapped the short teen.
"I'm sorry Kai, thank you for saving our pet." Spoke the dark hair teen. Kai just rolled his eyes. Takao stared at the two in awe.
"Uh… Ray, how do you know this guy by the way?" wondered the short teen.
"Huh? Uh, we go to the same High school Takao, and I would appreciated it if you would stop picking fights with him." Ray scowled the girl.
"Anyway, I'm out of here, I was just out for a jog. See you at school Kinomiya!" The teen took off running leaving the trio to wonder.
"Hey guys!" The trio of younger teens flinches as the older one finally came jogging over, with Hilary barely keeping up. The brunette waved off raven hair teen, who looked concern. "Woot! Man you guys run fast… eh?" Catherine blinked as she stared at the odd creature in Takao's arms. "Oh… what kind of cat are you?" A smile appeared upon the older teen's face as she picked up dragoon. The lizard began sweating as the older teen began cuddling with him.
"So, whose pet are you?" Catherine asked the group while trying to get Dragoon to purr.
"Erm… He's mi-"
"He's my kitty!" Maxine suddenly blurted out. Ray and Takao looked apprehensive towards the blonde.
"Really?" The blonde nodded happily as she took the dragoon away.
"Come kitty! Meow for the nice lady!" Maxine giggled nervously while dragoon meow in gravelly voice.
"I see…" A strange smile appeared upon Catherine's face. "Then how come he doesn't have a collar huh?" The blonde began sweating bullets.
"Er… free range cat?"
"Yeah I'm sure." Catherine took dragoon back. "Takao, if had a pet you might as well admitted it." The blue hair teen perked up. Catherine continued to play with Dragoon. "Besides, I went into your bedroom to grab your laundry, and looked like you have an animal living in your bedroom." The blue hair teen dropped her head as she given back Dragoon. Hilary came over to look at the odd animal.
"So, what is its his name?" Takao looked nervously at Dragoon, decided to start acting like a cat.
"He's name is Dragoon, I found him in parking lot, being picked on by some little kids." Dragoon perked up to this piece of information. "I just felt so bad for him; I couldn't leave him!" came a whine. Catherine just rolled her eyes as she patted the younger teen. Dragoon started purring against the blue hair teen.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to Hiro about it, there is no doubt that grandpa will be okay with it." The teen nodded. "By the way Hilary, Max, are you going to be staying for dinner?" The blonde tilts her head, while the brunette shook her head.
"No, I can't. Thank you for the invite though. My mother is expecting me soon."
"I'll walk you home?" Ray suggested. Hilary smiled and nodded. The two began to walked down the road. Maxine looked curiously at the older teen.
"Am I allowed too?" Catherine smiled.
"Of course, more the merrier I say!" The older teen began to think of something. "We need to go to the grocery store, want to come and help me pick out something?" Maxine nodded. The two went a head, leaving Takao to trail behind.
"So dragoon?" The lizard perked up. "What did you want to talk about?" dragoon looked sheepish before chuckling to myself.
"Actually, I totally forgot what I wanted to talk to you guys about." Takao couldn't believe it.

Mr Wilson watched the construction company tore through the patch of the park. His hand tremble with anger as he grip onto the tree next to him.
"It's a shame isn't it?" Mr. Wilson perked up at the new voice. Looking to the side, he noticed a young blond man standing next to him. "How these monsters think they can do what they want." Mr. Wilson turned his attention back to the demolition.
"Yeah…" the sound of defeat resonated inside the older man.
"You know, I can help you get revenge on these people." Mr. Wilson gave the blonde an odd look. "All I ask for is your energy!" Mr. Wilson's eyes widen as the blond had pin him to a tree. The blond raised his hand to his hat and murmured some words.
"My loyal monster, posses this man's hat and take his energy!" The old man faint as the blond took off.
Mr. Wilson came to a moment later. Sweat rolled down his face as his breath came in short pants. The trees were being cut. The uplifting the dirt, and the workers throwing their garbage in any old way. Mr. Wilson's eye gleam in an odd color as moths and butterflies came raining upon the workers. They all cried out in pain.

The sound of the traffic and car fumes filled the air. Sergei was standing before a fabric store. He was about to enter until someone clipped him.
"Excuse me sorry!" Sergei was about to tell the person, but they were already down the street.
"Wait… minute! Isn't that!" Sergei's eyes widen as he went chasing after the person. When he rounded the corner, he noticed they were gone. "Damn it! I could have swore, I seen him-eh?" A high pitch squeak had caught his attention. Looking down was a young blonde girl. She laid sprawled out on the sidewalk as though she ran into something. Raising a brow, Sergei kneeled down to help the young lady up.
"Arg! What did I ran into? Man, I'm starting to get spacing like Takao." Came a groan.
"Are you alright?" The young girl looked up. Her blue eyes were breath taking. They were a deep blue, it reminded him of the ocean.
Takao was walking down the street licking an ice cream cone while Dragoon tagged along.
"You know, if you keep eating the way you do; you're going to get fat."
"No I won't" Takao perked up.
"True because your grandfather will force early morning training onto you." Smiled the dragon while Takao froze in mid step.
"Right… crap. Thanks Dragoon." The blue hair teen looked annoyed. Then she realized dragoon was distracted by something. "Hey! Listen to me when I'm talking you to!" came a hiss. Then she followed his line of sight. "Oi, isn't that Maxine. I wonder what she's doing?" Takao and Dragoon hide behind a sign as they watched the interaction occur.
"Uh, I'm sorry." A faint blush was painted across Maxine's face as she took a hold of the hand being offered to her. "I wasn't really paying attention." She murmured.
"Not all, I should haven't been standing in the middle of the sidewalk like that. If you don't mind; can I take you out to tea as apology?" The young blonde's face lit up as she stared up at the older gentleman.
"Uh, sure, I don't mind joining you." Blonde blushed further. Sergei flinched as he realized what had just happen. He begin to look around to see if any of his "friends" where nearby. "So? Where are going?" wonder the young blonde. Sergei smile nervously as he lead them to a café nearby.
"Oi! She just got a date! How the hell did she get a date!" Takao stared in awe the couple as they slowly left. "Stuff like that only happens in movies." The blue hair teen narrowed her gaze onto the couple.
"Come on Takao, Maxine is allowed to have a life outside the sailor business and school." Dragoon perked up.
"No!" The dragon jumped back in surprise. "I mean, this guy appears to be suspicious! I'm going to follow them!" Before Dragoon could voice anymore reason, the blue hair teen took off down the street in attempts to follow the couple.
"Geeze, it makes one wonder if she is jealous."
WwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwW
The sound of conversations was easily drone out as Sergei sipped his coffee. The young girl had gotten some fruit parfait and tea. She was busy mixing a huge of sugar into the creamer.
"Oh! Er, do you still need the cream?" she failed to ask earlier to see if he wanted more. Sergei shook his head. Maxine nodded as she poured the mixture into her tea. "Sorry, the tea is too bitter for me." She murmured. Sergei nodded his head.
Takao peaked through the bushes of the café to stare at the couple. The blue hair teen cursed herself. "If only I knew what they were talking about." Dragoon rolled his eyes.
"It's a shame you can't make yourself in invisible." Dragoon mocked. Takao's eyes lit up as she pulled a pink sparkle pen from her bag. "No! You can't use that! Its for Sailor business!" growled the dragon.
"This is sailor business!"
"Hey! Takao!" Both dragon and Takao flinched as the new voice rang through. "So! Who are we spying on?" came the perky voice. Looking behind her, it was Masaru. It was her old bleach blond friend. An idea occurs to her as She crawled over.
"Hey Masaru, do you have money?" The blond blush as he nodded his head.
Maxine took a couple of bites of the parfait when she noticed the odd look that the other blond was giving her.
"Umm… would you like a taste?" she asked. The older blond shook his head.
"No thank you, it's all yours." He replied. Maxine nodded as she took another bite. Then an idea stuck her.
"Hey! I heard that there is really Great Park nearby; I was wondering if you would like to rent a row boat with me and take a grander onto the lake?"
wondered the younger blonde. Sergei looked surprise by her suggestion. He slowly nodded his head, which made the young girl squirm for joy.
Takao narrowed her gaze onto the couple. She was couple of booths away from the said blond couple. The sound in the café was messing up with her hearing. She couldn't hear what they were saying. Deciding to forgo the spying, she went on sip the drink that Masaru got her. The blue hair was pouting.
Boy, this is a long straw, I wonder what Masaru got himself.
Cracking an eye open, Takao gulp nervously as she press herself further into the booth seat. Masaru looked up at her in mild surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"Umm… couldn't you have gotten us two drinks?" wonder the blue hair teen. There was pink blush on Masaru's face as he looked embarrass or nervous on his next set of words.

Ray let out a heavy sigh as he walked down the street. A look of annoyances was evidenced on the teen's face. Then he heard his name being called. Looking around, he spotted a familiar friend. Dragoon was jumped up onto the raven hair teen, who looked surprise by the sudden affection.
"Oi, hello there Dragoon." The older teen had made sure the little guy was securely on his shoulders. Dragoon nuzzled the older teen, but notice his tension.
"What's the matter? Your usually more cheerful than this." The dragon tilts his head.
"It's about the park." Dragoon nodded his head in understanding. Ray continued his walk. He begin telling Dragoon how he went to park to talk to Mr. Wilson about other ideas they could try to save the park.
"This park means a lot to you doesn't it." The raven hair teen nodded. He shift his gaze towards the sky,
"Yeah, it was Mr. Wilson who motivate me to work on being a botanist." Ray continued. "It's just hard to see the guy so depressed." Then the sound of yelling caught their attention. Looking at each other, Ray jogged over to the sound cry of help. It was business man, it a pack of squirrels crawling all over him. The guy took of running screaming for someone to help him. Before them a pact of squirrels began to collect. Dragoon narrowed his gaze.
"Damn it, I hate to say it, but I think this the dark kingdom Ray!" Dragoon hissed as he stared at the furry creatures. "I have never seen squirrels act this way. They should be more domestic." Ray nodded his head. "I think we need to call on the others here." Ray looked surprise, but took out his phone. He sent text messages to both girls.
WwWwWwWwWwWwW
Sergei was slightly annoyed that the young girl had chosen the park he was planning on taking over. "Oh wow, this lake is really beautiful." The older blond had to admit; it was a nice view.
"Yeah, its such a shame they are going to fill it up with concreted." Sergei tried to look surprise. "A big corporation had brought the land and are planning on putting a big office building." Sergei frown his brows together. Something about this girl was making him odd.
"I see… that's terrible. I wonder if that's happening with other parks." The young blonde perked up. "Such how things are going, there probably won't be a green space anywhere in this city." Came a grumble. Maxine's eye lit.
"Hey, there is an awesome flowerbed of roses, will-"
"Oh yes, I heard this park had cultivated a great set of roses. It would be nice to see them before they are destroy." Maxine's eyes widen for a brief moment as she stared at the older blond before her. She didn't know why, but something about him made her feel ease.
Off shore, Takao was hiding the foliage. She had spotted Maxine and the older blond rented a boat together. Now they were on the lake. She was hoping to use her powers of the wind, but the element itself was fighting against her.
"Arg! I wish I could heard what they are saying. Damn it! They are looking too much like love birds." Cursed the blue hair teen.
"Takao…" the bleach blond began. "I can't tell you what this means to me!" The blond was trembling. "You asking me to a romantic park! Oh Takao! You must have known what I was feeling! Let us share in our passion!" Masaru turned around with his lips pucker out. When nothing but air met his lips, he looked around and notice the blue hair teen was gone. "Takao! Takao my darling! Where did you run off too!"
WwWwWwWwWwWwW
Ray was looking annoyed that none of the girls had gotten back to him. Then the sound of rustling caught his attention. Looking behind him, Takao came flying out of the bushes. The blue hair teen had tripped and landed on the ground with a groan.
"Arg! That's the last time I asked Masaru to help me spy." Came a whine.
"Takao!" The blue hair teen perked up as she notice Ray and Dragoon coming her way.
"Oi! That's where you disappeared off to." Dragoon jumped down and landed next to the teen. Takao gave the dragon an odd look.
"So… Where is your date?" wonder the dragon, which caused a look of disgust appeared upon the blue hair teen's face.
"Date? Takao you had date?" The blue hair teen looked up and noticed the odd sad expression that the older teen was making.
"No! Well I would if it wasn't such a hassle." Takao glared at the dragon, whom seem ignored to her negative feelings.
"Enough fooling around! We have sailor business to tend to!" hissed the dragon.
"What are you doing!" came a growl. Both teens looked up. It was Mr. Wilson. He stood on the other side of the flowerbed with a glare. "No one is allowed to enter my park!" Mr. Wilson was shaking with anger. "I am going to punish you for abusing nature and it's not going to be pretty!" Yelled the old man. Then before their eyes, an evil spirit had emerge from Mr. Wilson's hat. The old man fainted to the ground and his hair turned white. Both Ray and Takao narrowed their gaze onto the creature before transforming. The monster before them had called onto the bird to attacked them.
WwWwWwWwWwWwW
Sergei's eyes widen in pain. He couldn't believe the old man had hit his peak so fast. The older blond was cursing his luck. Maxine looked worried as she ask if she could help. Sergei then noticed a swarm of bird heading their way.
"Look out!" The older blond drove over to shield Max from the birds. Maxine gasp in surprise as the boat began to rock and it tipped over. Both cried out in surprised.
Soldier lighting and Sailor Wind were attacked by butterflies and moths. Dragoon was on the ground wrestling with the squirrels. He was able to dodge a few of them at first, but then they gain up on him. Lighting narrowed his gaze onto the creatures.
"Arg! I hate doing this, but I got no choice! Lighting!" He was able to zap the butterflies, moths and squirrels. Sailor Wind was in awe at how cool Lighting was. Dragoon laid out cold on the ground.
"How dare you!" screamed the monster.
"Yeah! Right now Lighting!" cheered Wind. Lighting shot Wind a smile.
"If that's the game you want to the play, then lets play!" The monster then shot a bundle of vines.
"Wind! Watch out!" The vines went crashing into Sailor Wind, and they wrapped themselves around her. The teen let out a startling gasp as she fell to the ground trying to wiggle free.
"No! I'll-"
"Not so fast pretty boy! You too need to be stop!" The monster used its hair was rope. Trapping Lighting. The raven hair warrior was going to use his lighting, but notice the monster was still connected with Sailor Wind. If he uses an attack, he could risk shocking her too.
"You monster." He growled out as he tried to fight against his bonds. Then he heard a yell of a bubble attack. The area was suddenly fog over, which made the soldier wonder, then his bonds had loosen and a startled cry could be heard from his right. Looking over, he could see a fireball rolling around on the ground before it came to sit next to him. Once the fog had clear, Sailor Water and Soldier Fire stood before them.
"Are you nuts! You could have roasted me!" yelled Sailor Wind. Soldier Fire wore a guilty look upon his face as he started to apologize to the blue hair warrior.
"Alright Guys! How do we destroy this monster?" Sailor Water narrowed her gaze onto the plant like monster.
"Simple, like this! Thunder strike!" Lighting curled his hand into a fist and slammed it down into the ground, causing a bolt of lighting to striking down and hitting the monster. The monster had vanished and Mr. Wilson's energy had return back to him.
"Wow, its almost like you guys don't need me!" Sailor Wind scratched her cheek in a nervously manner. The trio turns to face the blue warrior, who flinches at their stares.
"Damn it! I don't have time to deal with your insecurities." Growled the blonde. "I have a date I need to return too. Bye!" She waved off the group and went running off.
"Well, you did awesome today lighting! Maybe you and I should start double teaming?" grinned Soldier Fire while Lighting just lower his gaze. Chuckling nervously, the Fire soldier went over and pulled Sailor Wind to her feet. Then he held her hands close to his chest, while staring into her pretty blue eyes. "Never doubt yourself Sailor Wind, having a strong team is what makes a great leader." Smiled the dual hair soldiers.
"Feh! It makes me sick with how you flirt so openly." Lighting comment. Fire flinched as he felt the heat from words.
"Lighting!" Sailor Wind hissed. Lighting rolled his eyes waving his hand. He went over and picked up the old man.
"Right… I better get going, until next time Sailor Wind." Fire took off into the bushes. Leaving the two alone. Lighting de-transform while getting Mr. Wilson comfortable onto a park bench. Takao did the same and joined the dark hair teen.
"I'm sorry Ray." The teen spoke up.
"For what?" Ray checked Mr. Wilson pulse and to make sure the old man was still breathing. "You didn't do anything wrong." Takao looked up at the teen in surprise as he continued to check over Mr. Wilson. "Your attacks weren't necessary in this battle, but I am sure they will be in the next one." The teen comment as he let out a sigh of relief. "Mr. Wilson is going to live, though we should check him into a hospital." Takao brighten up.
"Oh Ray! You're the best!" The blue hair teen hugged the older teen, who was caught off guard by the sudden affection.
"Eh Takao! Watch it!"
"Takao! Takao! Oi! Who are you and why are you holding my Takao!" Masaru came down a path, and spotted the two teens.
"Your Takao? Are you guys dating?" Ray slowly rose to his feet with Takao still hanging around his neck. Ray was slightly taller than Masaru. The bleach blond stared up nervously at the older teen.
"And what business is it of yours?" whined the teen. Ray smirk as he crackled his knuckles.
"I don't know if she has told you, but I am her older brother." Masaru gasp in horror.
"Erm… Takao how about we continued this at later date yeah?" The blue hair teen smiled and nodded. Masaru took off running causing Takao to laugh.
"Thanks Ray!" smiled the blue hair teen as she nuzzle older teen's neck. Ray just rolled his eyes, but smiled. The older teen couldn't help but enjoy the attention he was receiving. Dragoon came crawling over.
"Heh, be happy it was me instead of Hiro." Takao hopped off the raven hair teen to allow Dragoon to climb onto her. The blue hair teen look curiously at older teen. "What? You still don't realize it?" Takao shook her head. "Hiro is against the marriage and really dislikes Catherine's fiancée. Imagine how he would react if he found out you were dating." Takao didn't look happy with thought.
"But Grandpa…" Ray waved his hand.
"Grandpa can only do some much, though with Catherine here. It might help your odds." A groan caught both teens attention.
"Arg, what happen?" Ray's eyes lit up as he kneeled down next to Mr. Wilson.
"Nothing, you just had little too much sun, would have like us to take you to a hospital?" wondered the teen. Mr. Wilson looked daze for a moment, but snapped out of it. He turn his attention back the teen. A soft smile appeared upon the older man's face.

In a room surround by monitors, Ian narrowed his gaze onto the newest operations. It had been discovered, but they were able to escape with a small of energy. The purple hair man was beginning to wonder about their plan of attack. It appeared Sergei wasn't out right attacking them, but he had to wonder. When will the blond attack. He bit his lower lip as he send the collect energy to head quarters. "I hope you know what you are doing Sergei."
