A Rude Awakening

Chapter 9

"BOLT SLICE!!" Earth commanded as her attack flew from the bladed end of the saber and launched at the sailor scouts.

All of the scouts scattered in different directions except for Sailor Moon who stood shocked. She couldn't believe that someone they all had gotten close with, relived past life memories with, some one in which trusted them with her life and vice versa would turn on them in only a matter of seconds.

"Why," she asked quietly to herself. "Why did she turn against us?" Sailor Moon to deep in her sadness didn't see the attack zeroing in on her.

Sailor Mars noticed this and called out, "Sailor Moon!!" but her call was unheard by the preoccupied sailor. Mars knowing she only had seconds sprinted as fast as her legs could carry her and shoved Moon out of the way only to herself be hit but the devastating attack.

Mars' body hit the ground hard. Her body twitched and thrashed uncontrollably as the powerful lightning surged through her body. When the flow of power decreased and eventually stopped, Mars lay there, here purple eyes wide and expressionless. Sailor Moon ran to her friends side and Shook her shoulders.

"Sailor Mars…Sailor Mars…Raye!! Wake up Raye come on this isn't funny anymore!!" Sailor Moon looked deeply into her friends eyes then hugged her tightly. As she hugged her she noticed that her friend was still breathing. She gently laid her friend down and stood facing Sailor Earth. All of the other scouts watched as Sailor Moon reached out in front of her and the Moon Kaleidoscope appeared in her hand.

"Sailor moon!" called Sailor Pluto, "You can't kill her! She is a Sailor Scout!"

"I don't plan on killer her. Well get her back." Sailor Moon said not taking her eyes off of Earth.

Earth smiled and licked her lips. She could feel the fear in Sailor Moon's heart but she could also feel the anger.

Sailor Moon took a few steps backward so she could speek to the senchi without being herd by earth.

"I kinda have a plan, but without mars it will be hard to do. Are you all with me?"

All of the soldiers stepped forward and grunted in agreement.

"All right then. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Jupiter, I want you to hit her hard and fast physically."

The two smiled and nodded.

"Venus and Pluto, you two are their back up. You Hit Earth first so that they can strike. If Earth starts to fight back I want you to blast her hard got it?"

The two looked at each other and nodded.

"Neptune and Mercury, you two find her weaknesses and exploit them."

The two agreed.

Sailor Saturn, you my trump card. Fight along with Uranus and Jupiter but if my plan with the crystal doesn't work, you'll have to be prepared ok?" Sailor Moon said looking at the younger warrior.

Saturn griped the glave and nodded in agreement.

"Ok, Let's do it!!" Moon shouted and the scouts went running, newly charged from their leader.

Salestia sat and watched the entire conversation between moon and he other scouts. She wished she knew what they were saying, but in reality she didn't really care. She knew she was powerful enough to defeat them all, and with the combined power of her and her new/old ally Sailor Earth they were almost unstoppable. Selestia was glad t hat she put that powerful hypnotic suggestion in Earth's mind all those years ago, so just incase she ever decided to go against her it would be a simple chore to regain control of her. Selestia watched as the scouts began running around positioning themselves. She watched intently as the battle raged on once more.

" Dead Scream….." whispered Pluto as her attack flew through the air. Earth spun the eternal saber and it blocked the attack.

"VENUS, LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!!!" Venus screamed as the energized heart laser flew through the air at lightning speed striking Earth in the leg. Earth stopped spinning her blade and grabbed her leg in pain. As she did her jaw met with Jupiter's fist in a powerful executed left hook. This was immediately followed by a double fisted hammer uppercut curtsey of Uranus. The punches and kicks went on while Sailor Moon brought her hands up to her chest and concentrated. A small silver light appeared and grew larger until it took the shape of a crystal.

Sailor Saturn Came down onto Earth Glave first, but Earth brought up the saber to block the attack. She was the hit by twin punched to her sides by Uranus and Jupiter making her drop to her knees. When Earth went gown she was surrounded by a dark green light that blew Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter backward. She went to stand up again but….

"VENUS LOVELY CHAIN!" Venus shouted capturing her in the chain of hearts.

Mercury had taken out her mini computer and put on her blue visor. She scanned Earth's whole body and found out that she had a small personal force shield around her.

"SUBMERINE RFLECTION!" Neptune shouted as a white light shot from the mirror and light up the weakness on Earth's body. Her Eternal Saber.

"She has a personal force shield around her." Mercury shouted.

""But if you get her Saber away from her, you can defeat her." Neptune added.

Selestia raised her forefinger to her lip and rested it there. 'These sailor scouts may be a formidable force after all. They've manage to find Earth's weakness.' Salestia thought to herself. She sat and watched the operation unfold.

Uranus ran up to Earth from the side and grabbed the eternal saber pulling it . Sailor earth pulled back and then maneuvered the blade slashing Uranus in the forearm. Uranus jumped back grasping her now bleeding arm.

"SPARKELING WIDE PRESSURE!!" Jupiter shouted throwing the disc of lightning into Earths back. The lightning crackled around her and she dropped he saber screaming in pain.

"Hurry up guys, I can't keep this up forever you know!" shouted Venus who was showing stain from keeping the love chain activated for so long.

Mercury jumped into the air to retrieve the Saber just as Venus let the power flow of the chain go. Earth quickly stood and jumped for her weapon. Mercury saw this but couldn't stop herself in mid air.

"BURNNING MANDALA!!" shouted mars, who to everyone's surprise, was now standing. The thousands of flaming rings shout forward and send Earth flying in the other direction. Mercury quickly scooped up the weapon and retook her position with Neptune.

Sailor Moon was now glowing intensely with the crystal raised above her head. Selestia decided to take this opportunity to seize the crystal for herself. Selestia lept from her throne and flew at sailor moon with an out stretched hand. She seized a startled Sailor Moon by the throat and reached for the crystal. Gasping for ari, Sailor Moon tried with all her might to keep the Crystal away from Selestia. The sailor scouts came running toward them but Selestia flashed them a look and they all flew backward.

Sailor Earth was now just recovering form the last attack when she saw Selestia choking Sailor Moon and reaching for the crystal. He eyes flashed from red to their normal brown as memories of Sarena and the others kindness toward her. She was soon glowing again and her mined suddenly seemed clear again. More clear then it had been in a thousand years. Earth stood and walked past the other sailors, who went to attack her but something in the way Earth walked stopped them. Earth walked right up to Selestia and grabbed a hand full of her hair, pulling her away from Sailor Moon. The shock of having her hair pulled caused Selestia to release her grip from Sailor Moon who fell to her knees gasping for air.
