Chapter 10: the Battle and the Decision
"Venus! Rolling Heat Vibration!" came one shout. " Mars! Flame Sniper!" came another as Meirue watched the battle commence. Camera type creatures and many other enemies had emerged from the UFO that hover almost 200 Kilometers above the ground. Meirue had tried to help fight too but as soon as she landed a punch or kick, the creature she intended to hurt would try and gobble her up or capture her. She truly wished she could help protect her parents and her home. 'Do you truly wish to help them?' a voice in the back of her mind asked. "I truly wish to help1 I feel so useless!" she replied. 'then call out Blazing Star Strike and you will be able to help .' the voice instructed and Meirue did as was told "BLAZING STAR STRIKE!" a pink want with a purple star on top appeared in Meirue's hand. When she took hold of it, purple stars came out and hit their targets that had tried to sneak up upon Mars and Venus.
It was then that she was noticed not only as a new scout but the princess of Crystal Tokyo. It didn't last long , as more creatures appeared out of no were. Mierue did her attack again whenever her fellow scouts needed her help. After a while, Meirue , tiered from fighting, decided to aim her next attack at the source of their problem, the UFO. She took careful air and said "BLAZING SHOOTING STAR STRIKE!" a huge star with a tail of light shot at the UFO and hit point blank at the area she had aimed for. In addition tops of smaller stars hit the rest of what was left of the enemy's troops.
Sighing in relief, Meirue sagged to her knees and took a deep breath. There was one more thing to handle and that was her parents. She quickly got up, detransformed and headed for Elison. She knew some how that her parents would be there. When Meirue passed by a window and looked out, she saw Kid hurt and in a tentacle cage. She couldn't hear what was going on or what was being said but she knew that she had to help Kid. She turned and ran towards the Garden doors and transformed back into Sailor Meirue, then ran out and hid in the nearby bushes waiting for a good opportunity to attack.
Kid's POV: "Cheesesticks!" Kid cursed as his old rival, Ciedric, trapped him on a tentacle cage. Ciedric had a trench coat covering most of his body but even for his detective look, Kid knew he was in trouble. Ciedric had wounded him in more than one place and kid's legs wanted to give out. A flash of purple light caught his eye but for the world's sake he didn't look. Instead he used his other senses to determine what the flash of light had been. Ciedric slowly walked up to kid and with a slight gesture more tentacles appeared and grabbed kid's arms holding them straight out and making kid's feet hover above the ground. "Cheesesticks!" Kid shouted as the tentacles grabbed him and pain shot across his arms. Cedric just smiles a cold cruel smile, almost like a lion playing with its food. There was a small gasp, then a loader yelp as tentacles went after the voice. Kid's eyes widened as he heard Meirue's voice but instead of seeing Meirue, he saw a purple and pink sailor scout jump out of the bushes she was hiding in. What surprised him even more was that the Effects did not trigger and make him loose his consciousness.
Meirue's POV: Meirue gasped as tentacles grabbed Kid's arms and holding him fast and dangling a few meters above the ground. A yelp escaped as she jumped out of the bush, avoiding the tentacles that had just tried to grab her legs from beneath the ground. She sent razor sharp stars at both of the tentacles after her and then sent some at the tentacles that help kid captive. With a slight curse at his luck the other man disappeared along with the tentacles that remained. When she landed Meirue immediately detransformed and wet over to help Kid.
