Chapter 10: Tart Returns P2

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Tokyo Mew Mew. I do own Erika Aoyoma, Mew Erika, Mew Erika Inner Scorpion Mode, and Mew Ichigo Angel Mode.

The Saint Rose Crusader and Dead Moon Circus agent looked at the newly arrived alien. Mamoru was just as shocked as both the heroines and the villains. He had not expected the arrival of an alien, certainly not one that attacked Earth three months ago. Tart glanced over to the trapped Mamoru. He then nodded and threw his click clack weapon at the red object that was trapping Mamoru. The weapon hit the object, destroying the object. Immediately Mamoru was freed and the dream Mirror went away.

"No!" Fish-Eye shouted.

"Oh yes" Tart shouted as he threw something at the ground.

The ground erupted with grass coming out of it. The grass hit and tied the two villain's feet to the ground.

"You two aren't going anywhere" Tart said.

"I don't believe this he's actually on our side now?" Sailor Venus said.

Tart nodded "Yes, I can't let allow Earth to fall...Besides...I have a crush on someone. That is a Mew Mew."

"Who?" Sailor Moon asked.

"Not right now Sailor Moon" Sailor Chibi-Moon said as the great white Shark Chimera Anima and the Remless attacked them without warning.

Tart, along with the Mew Mews dodged both attacks and the Inner Scouts were well...Not as lucky. They avoided the Great White Shark but not the Remless. It had trapped the Sailor Senshi in a metal cage.

"Mew Ichigo..." Super Sailor Moon shouted.

Mew Ichigo Angel Mode turned "Great another trap."

The Chimera Anima headed over the the trapped Inner Scouts and rammed the cage.

"Don't worry Sailor Moon...We're safe!" Sailor Venus said.

Suddenly the metal cage began to fail.

"Oh really?" Sailor Chibi-Moon said noticing the Metal Cage bars begin to get crushed.

Tart then aimed his hands at the Chimera Anima and fired a beam at it. The beam hit the Shark reverting it off course it then recovered and charge the cage.

Tart tried again but The Mew Mews stopped them claiming that the attack would only make the Chimera Anima madder and more stronger. They could only watch onwards wondering how they would free their friends in time. Everything had to been done perfect.

Erika and Ryou

The two had actually found the HQ. Only because of the Saint Rose Crusader Count Blue Bayou's plan. He had sent Tiger-Eye to lead the two to the base. Ryou looked at her "I think it's a trap...I'll stay out here while you investigate this matter"

"Okay...I'm going in then" Erika said.

Ryou nodded "I'll be waiting to bail you out if it is a trap."

Erika nodded "Right."

She went into the HQ. To Erika it had looked like someone like these Saint Rose Crusaders were here and they didn't know of her approach. Someone had left the lights on. From the command room of the HQ Count Blue Bayou turned to Tiger-Eye "Now turn off the lights."

"Um is that a good idea she's a scorpion, she's meant for night. As soon as we turn it off those scorpion eye sight will kick in" Tiger-Eye said.

"Just do it."

"Okay" Tiger-Eye said he turned to the light switch and pulled it to the off position.

Then the lights went off. Erika was looking when they went off. She shook her head Like that will help you against me.

It's all part of their plan! They wanted you to find them

Hmm...Let's see if I'm right though.

Erika looked about. From his vantage point he glanced at the monitor. He pressed a button.

"What does that do?" Tiger-Eye asked.

Count Blue Bayou glanced at Tiger-Eye and smiled "I know the Scorpion Mew Mew's one weakness...What is that you ask...You'll find out soon...Watch the monitors."

Tiger-Eye did.

Erika heard buzzing sound coming from the loud speakers in the buildings. She tried not to show fear as she released the buzzing sound was the sound of bees, hornets, and wasp. She shook her head "Nice try."

Then without warning under another press of a button came and sent out a swarm of bees out of one of the vents.

"W...W...What?" Erika asked herself as her heart beat rose a clean sign of this scaring her.

Tiger-Eye grinned "Well...Looks like our Scorpion Mew Mew is afraid of bees."

"Yes but that's her only fear"

"What about water? Scorpions hate getting wet"

"Not this one...The Erika is an excellent swimmer. She loves water!"

"So any more surprises for her?"

"Those bees were only the beginning...By the time she gets here...She'll ether run away from her fears or be only too easy to kill."

"So we are using her only fear against her...Why didn't I know her fear?"

"You haven't been studying your opponents. We Saint Rose Crusaders study our enemies. When they were fighting to protect Earth from the aliens we watched them...Watching and waiting for their weakness or fears."

"What does Mew Ichigo fear then?" Tiger-Eye asked.

"Nothing much except for losing someone close to her. When Mew Erika lay dying..."

"Wait...Sweet Juliet said that Mew Erika was impossible to kill"

"She meant to say she's impossible to sneak up upon and look inside her dream mirror or do anything to her."

"Oh, so what's next?"

"Sending out the scorpion killer wasp."

"Oh she's not going to like this one bit now."

"Yes...Especially not when these wasp hunt scorpions."

He pushed another button.

Erika was recovering from her bee encounter "Calm down Erika...Those were only bees...They want flowers not scorpions."

HEADS UP!

WHAT NOW MOTHER?

Suddenly Erika got her answer and wasp flew out.

SCORPION HUNTER WASP RUN!
ON THE DOUBLE.

Erika ran into another room. She was nearly out of breathe and she could here the swarm of wasps fly by harmlessly.

"That was close" She mumbled to herself.

Suddenly a movement caught her eye. It was another scorpion hunting wasp. Even if it was only one, she wisely backed away eying the creature.

From the command Room, Tiger-Eye and Count Blue Bayou were having fun scaring the Scorpion Mew Mew.

"Do you think she suspects anything?" Tiger-Eye asked.

"Well her senses tell her things will happen but still she'll find out who's behind it."

Tiger-Eye looked at Count Blue Bayou and grinned "This is fun scaring her to death...May I send the last things at her?"

"Be my guest"

Tiger-Eye pressed a button.

"She's going to scream now" the count said.

Erika had gotten out of the room as Ryou came in threw a headset he gave her on the way there.

"What's going on? Find anyone yet?"

"No Ryou...There is no one in sight...AHHHH HORNET SWARM!!"

Erika basically shouted the word Hornet in Ryou's ears.

"ERIKA?! What's going on?" Ryou asked.

All he could here was her breathing and footsteps.

Just then he saw the wasps come out and then he sweat dropped Oh yeah...Erika fears those things. How could I have forgot...Wait a second, someone is purposely trying to scare her!

He looked up to see two figures laughing at something.

He notified Erika "Erika...You gotta transform!"

Erika was nearly screaming her heart out "Sorry Ryou...Everywhere I go inside this building hornets, and scorpion hunting was come out!"

"Calm down Erika! Fight your fears!" Ryou shouted "Those things aren't something you should fear the enemy is in their command room...You've gotta ignore it!"

"Okay, I'm trying to."

"Which is why I need you to transform! I think these Saint Rose Crusaders plan to kill you...Try to turn the table on them!"

"Right! Mew Mew Erika...Metamorphis!" Erika shouted.

Soon she was in her own Mew form, but her fear increased even more when the Scorpion hunting wasp appeared and saw her and started to chase her.

"Stop chasing me!!" She roared out.

As the hornets chased her everywhere in the building.

They are a scorpion's only fear...Though I hate water and you don't.

I was on the swim team before I became a Mew Mew and had you inside me...The swimmer part of me will never change. And I'm not afraid to get wet.

Mew Erika ran along and followed her senses to where the command room was. The door was locked. She turned when she saw the scorpion hunting wasp swarm coming towards her. Then she heard buzzing sound.. She glanced to her right and saw not only another scorpion hunting wasp swarm but a swarm of Japanese Giant Hornets as well.

"Not good" she said her fear increasing and blood dripping from the puncture wounds the needles placed on her "They have me trapped...Behind this doors lies the very enemy I must stop but how can I get in there in time!"

Meanwhile with Mew Ichigo Angel Mode!

The Mew Mews were having a hard time thinking of a way to free the captured Sailor Scouts.

"I got an idea" Mew Ichigo Angel Mode said.

"What is it?" Mew Pudding and Mew Berry asked her.

"I'm going to distract it...Hopefully it comes after me...Mew Pudding when the time is right you will know what to do. Tart you take care of the Remless"

"Okay on it" Tart said.

Mew Ichigo flung herself at the monster as she thought I hope Erika is alright...You know even though she's not with me I can sense her fear. Wait...FEAR? What can you be fearing Erika? No!! Can't think of Erika right know...I've gotta pull my end of the bargain.

Mew Ichigo Angel Mode flung herself at the Chimera Anima tackling it to the side. The Remless tried to attack Ichigo but a well flung click-clack weapon from Tart intercepted it.

"What the?" the Remless asked.

"I'm sorry but I've got my reasons to be here. Now beat it!" Tart said as the Remless held it's head in pain while throwing the Click-Clack weapon to him. Tart grabbed the weapon.

Tart then turned his attention to a struggling Fish-Eye and smart mouthed her "You know the Chimera Animas we hold are a lot better that your weak monsters.

"You little BRAT!" Fish-Eye shouted.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME? YOU OLD HAG!"

"You have a lot of nerve of calling me that brat!" Fish-Eye shouted "REMLESS KILL HIM!"

"My pleasure!" The Remless said tearing after the alien.

Mew Ichigo shook her head I remember him when he was my enemy...I can only feel for her. But at least Tart is giving the Remless some company.

The Chimera Anima regained on trail but Mew Ichigo waved her tail "Come at me you man eating fish!"

The Chimera Anima got an anger mark on it and charge Mew Ichigo opening it's mouth.

Mew Ichigo Angel Mode gasped "Nice try" and she dodged the Chimera Anima's lunge.

It turned immediately and went straight at Mew Ichigo. She tried to dodge but the Chimera Anima then burst out with almost lighting fast speed ramming Mew Ichigo Angel Mode in her chest and the result sent her into the air landing on the ground hard.

"MEW ICHIGO!" Mew Pudding and Mew Berry shouted.

"I'll be fine...Mew Pudding like I said you'll know what to do!"

Mew Pudding nodded as her leader was tackled again and sent flying into the air. Then with before anyone could blink the Chimera Anima went into a frenzy tackling Mew Ichigo Angel Mode on all sides each blow was more stronger than the first.

From her position Super Sailor Moon gasped as this time it looked like she'd might lose her cousin.

Then with one fierce slap with the tail sent Mew Ichigo to the ground nearly head first. Luckily Mew Ichigo Angel Mode's cat reflexes stepped in and saved her at the last minute allowing her to land on all fours she glanced up This thing is powerful when it goes into a frenzy. I can't even see it.

Seeing it's foe struggling to get onto her feet. The monster repositioned itself this time at Mew Ichigo's stomach. It charge and opened it's mouth. Mew Ichigo Angel Mode was trying to get her foot hold but the Chimera Anima bit her. She screamed in pain as the monster tried to swallow her. She quickly struggled bravely and amazingly struck both palms into the center of the monster's eyes. The monster responded by spitting her out.

"It got me" Mew Ichigo Angel Mode said as she stood up.

"And you're bleeding pretty badly" Mew Berry said.

Mew Ichigo Angel glanced up "Don't worry, I have enough power to take this thing out."

Then she purposely got near the entrance way of the steel cage. Super Sailor Moon quickly saw the damage to her cousin's side. Half of her cousin's body where the Chimera Anima bit her was bleeding. Amazingly no skin was removed. Mew Ichigo Angel Mode nodded to her cousin "It's all right my power didn't come with just Pegasus's power, it comes from a Mew Aqua and a greater power of light...Thanks to the Mew Aqua that was inside my Angel Mode, I'm not missing anything, however I am bleeding."

The Chimera Anime was now in an even worse frenzy...Now that it had tasted human blood...It now started to chase Mew Pudding and Mew Berry.

"Hey! I'm not wanting to be fish food!" Mew Pudding shouted.

Mew Ichigo Angel Mode aimed her weapon and threw it like a boomerang. The weapon hit the Chimera Anima it the nose. The Chimera Anima stopped chasing Mew Pudding and Mew Berry.

With a nod from Mew Ichigo, Mew Berry acted by attacking it "Ribbon Raspberry Check!"

The attack hits the confused Chimera Anima in the direction of Mew Ichigo Angel Mode as the Mew Mew leader caught her weapon "You're opponent is me not them...And I'm not finished yet"

"That cat does have nine lives!" Sweet Juliet said.

"So that means even if we kill her once she has eight lives left?" Fish-Eye asked.

"Maybe but that shark bite should've killed her. DARN THOSE MEW AQUA" Sweet Juliet said as she remembered what Mew Aquas could do.

The Chimera Anima charged her Mew Ichigo Angel Mode knew she had to time it right. As if it was natural Mew Pudding was watching for her chance.

Mew Ichigo Angel Mode jumped over the Chimera Anima leaving a very frightened Super Sailor Moon, Super Sailor Chibi-Moon, and Sailor Venus to gasp hoping the metal bars would keep them safe.

They soon discovered they didn't need it. Mew Pudding knew it was her turn "Ribbon...Pudding Ring Inferno!"

She banged her weapons together and it trapped both Chimera Anima, and Remless (Which was still chasing Tart.) trapping them.

"That went according to my plan" Mew Ichigo Angel Mode said then she clutched her bleeding side "For the most part."

Tart and Mew Berry destroyed the Metal cage and rescued the captured Sailor Senshi.

Mew Ichigo glanced at her cousin and nodded "Now let's finish these monsters once and for all!" she then glanced at Fish-Eye and Sweet Juliet whom were in the direction of the Finishing moves "And these two are also going to get some sense knocked in them!"

"Right!" Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi-Moon shouted.

"Please Pegasus...Protect of People's dreams...Twinke Yell!" Super Sailor Chibi-Moon shouted.

The Pegasus appeared and Super Sailor Moon aimed her weapon "Moon Gorgeous Meditation!"

The weapon sent out a burst of light at the Chimera Anima, Remless, Sweet Juliet and Fish-Eye.

The burst hit and in a blinding light along with the words "STAGE OUT!"

Their was an explosion and the Remless was destroyed while the Chimera Anima was left still in one piece along with the two main evil Villains which were harmed and shocked at the power Super Sailor Moon possessed.

"My turn!" Mew Ichigo Angel Mode shouted "Ribbon...Purification Burst!"

Her weapon shot out an attack which hits every single monster and villain once more. The attack ended and the Chimera Anima was now a shark along with Sweet Juliet and Fish-Eye barely alive.

"Uh this fish is officially dead" Mew Pudding said.

"Another defeat?" Fish-Eye asked as she and Sweet Juliet got up she glanced at Sweet Juliet whom was closer to death than she was "Come on, I'll make sure you'll recover!"

She then took Sweet Juliet with her as she vanished. Tart watched them leave excited on his victory with the two good teams this time "And don't come back you old hag!"

Mew Erika

Mew Erika glanced around the enemy had cornered her. She was trapped! She then decided to burst the door down with a mighty tackle and she found herself in the command room. In the center of it.

"Well it's about time you got here" a voice said as a door slammed.

Mew Erika turned fear was in her eyes hoping it wasn't a Remless monster that had the hornet markings on it.

"Nice to see that you are scared out of your wits" the voice said and Mew Erika could make out Tiger-Eye.

"Tiger-Eye" she hissed.

"Is that Anger I here from you girl?"

Mew Erika shook her head "Not yet. Just surprised that you of all people know my weakness!"

Suddenly she screamed in pain as something struck her neck it felt like a bee, wasp, or hornet had stung her which was a highly possibility. She went onto her knees and placed a claw on her neck and brought out a needle.

"A needle?" she asked.

Suddenly another object struck her in the back. She almost lost consciousness as this one struck her.

Tiger-Eye smiled "You're a good hunter Count Blue Bayou"

"What?" Mew Erika asked.

A boy appeared. He had messy hair and wore the same uniform Sweet Juliet had.

"Hello there Mew Erika...I am the Saint Rose Crusader Count Blue Bayou. Do you like those needles?"

"Frankly I don't" Mew Erika said as she bravely stood up.

Count Blue Bayou snapped his fingers and two scorpion hunting wasp Chimera Anima appeared on ether side of her. Mew Erika was now once again trapped. She had Tiger-Eye ahead of her which she knew she could take him down. She had Count Blue Bayou behind her and worst of all, she had two Chimera Animas which were in the form of her most dreaded fear.

"Oh man..." Mew Erika mumbled trying to hide her ever rising fear "This is starting to turn into a nightmare."

Mew Ichigo

Mew Ichigo Angel Mode stood alongside Super Sailor Moon. Her bleeding side was enough for her to lay down.

"What are you're parents going to say about this when they see this?" Super Sailor Moon asked her.

"It's going to be hard to get passed them!" Mew Ichigo Angel Mode admitted.

"Not as long as I'm here" Tart said as he returned with a bottle.

"What is that?" Super Sailor Moon asked.

"A healing potion" Tart said he gave it to Mew Ichigo Angel Mode "Drink this please...It'll stop your bleeding and heal your wounds."

Mew Ichigo nodded and drank the potion "Thank you Tart"

True to Tart's words the bleeding stopped and Mew Pudding was at Tart's side.

"So Taruto, what brings you here?" Mew Pudding asked.

Tart got red in the face as he faced his one foe he used to fight against, "Well...Uh...Well"

Super Sailor Chibi-Moon grinned "He likes you Mew Pudding!"

"NO I don't!" Tart shouted.

Mew Pudding's cheerful face faltered as she pretended to act "You sure...I have been lonely even with my brothers and sisters."

"Aw look Tart...You made Pudding sad" Chibi-Usa said glancing at Mew Pudding who was now pretending to cry like she wasn't needed.

Tart glanced at Mew Pudding and hugged her "Okay!! Okay!! I'll admit it...Pudding I like you! I want to be with you! And I was lonely too"

Mew Pudding brightened at the touch as she hugged him "I love you too."

"Well...What a nice confession, and I guess you want to" Tart began.

"I'd be happy to be your girlfriend!" Mew Pudding said.

"How'd she know I was getting towards asking her that?"

"She's smart!" Sailor Venus said "You two look good together as a couple"

"Really?" Tart asked.

"Of course would the Goddess of Love ever lie to you?" Sailor Venus asked.

"Umm..." Super Sailor Moon began.

"Don't answer that!" Sailor Venus whispered to her friend so silently that only Super Sailor Moon and Super Chibi-Moon could here.

This shut Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi-Moon up.

"Come on it's getting late" Mew Ichigo Angel Mode said.

Tart glanced at Super Sailor Moon before the group departed for the night "Um, Sailor Moon?"

"Yes?"

"Does your boyfriend still lead the Romance Knights?"

Super Sailor Moon nodded "Yeah why?"

"I want to protect Pudding...I really do like her and even love her. Can you tell him I want to meet him tomorrow?"

"Sure! I'll let him know you are meeting him so that he can expect you to show up."

"Okay."

The group departed for the night unaware of a huge battle that was brewing in an certain HQ.

Sorry that I didn't answer the last question about Erika surviving the mission. This question will be answered in the next chapter Chapter 11: Erika's Battle. The reason why was because the previous chapter and this chapter was basically based on Tart's Return to Earth.
