Chapter 11: Armor up

Inside, Sailor Mercury slowly helped Sailor Saturn up. "Christine, are you all right?" She
questioned.

"Yeah," Sailor Saturn responded. "I think so. Look." Sailor Saturn pointed to a box that fell
out of the wall when Onyx hit it. She went over and picked it up. Inside were seven crystals.
Sailor Mercury picked one up and stared at it. Suddenly a symbol appeared in one of the
crystals. It was the symbol of Mercury. She continued staring as if in a trance. Sailor
Mercury activated her visor and translated the scripture near the place where the box fell out.

"'Whoa to all who come across the corrupters of darkness. Shall they ever be released; the rocks
of power with the women of time shall befall them. Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus,
and Neptune. To make the darkest hour light up, call to the sky crystal armor up.' Saturn,
these are instructions on how to use the armor worn by the Sailor Scouts that defeated the
Demonics. Now we can use them!"

"Excellent! I'll get Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune." Sailor Saturn relayed the message and
those two got excited too.

"We have to get the other Sailor Scouts over here."

"Ash and his friends can handle them. Come on." Sailor Mercury activated her communicator.
"Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, hurry into the pyramid. We have the
means to destroy the Demonics!" In a minute, the Sailor Scouts were gathered. Sailor Mercury
explained what was going on.

Meanwhile, Ash decided to leap into action. Literally. He climbed onto Charizard and they took
to the air. Ash leaped off his back and came down onto Ramulus. Ramulus swatted him away.
Brock and Yoshi piled onto Ramulus but Ramulus electrified himself and threw them off.
Sabrina had to risk using her full psychic powers. For a while, she was afraid of falling back
into her old routine of using her full psychic powers against people. Sabrina concentrated and
Ramulus was lifted five feet in the air. Anubis let loose a sonic scream and made Sabrina lose
her concentration.

"That's it," Ramulus said upset. "If I'm going down, I'm taking you all with me! BANISHMENT!"
Storm clouds began gathering around Ash and his friends. Ash sensed impending doom so he quickly
recalled his Pokemon and instructed the others to do likewise. Togepi was placed in Misty's
backpack. The Pokemon crew tried to hold on to anything but it was no use. Suddenly a giant
wormhole opened up in the sky. The seven Pokemon Trainers were slowly being sucked towards it.
Ayako was the first one who was sucked in. Followed by Duplica, then Sabrina, then Yoshi. Brock
was next, and then Misty. Ash couldn't hold onto Pikachu and the ground at the same time.
Something had to give and he wasn't about to give up Pikachu. Slowly, Ash lost his grip and he
too was sucked into the wormhole.

"NO!" Sailor Mars cried as she and the other Sailor Scouts watched them disappear.

"Don't worry," Ramulus said with a sinister smile. "You'll be next."

"That's what you think, horn head," Sailor Moon said as she held out her crystal. The others
showed their crystals.

"Oh no," Anubis moaned. "They can't be."

"They are," confirmed Lockjaw.

"They wouldn't."

"They would."

Sailor Moon remembered the words that were put into her head when she picked up her crystal.
"MOON CRYSTAL ARMOR UP!" In a brilliant flash of light, Sailor Moon's body was sucked into the
crystal. The crystal morphed around her body until it became knight armor.
She became Armored Sailor Moon.

"MARS CRYSTAL ARMOR UP!"

"MERCURY CRYSTAL ARMOR UP!"

"JUPITER CRYSTAL ARMOR UP!"

"VENUS CRYSTAL ARMOR UP!"

"URANUS CRYSTAL ARMOR UP!"

"NEPTUNE CRYSTAL ARMOR UP!" The same process happened with each of the Scouts. When it was
done, they stood in full knight armor, adjusted around their figures with the symbols of their
respective kingdoms on their breastplates. They carried magical weapons. Sailor Moon's was a
saber. Sailor Mars' was a bow. Sailor Mercury had a spear. Sailor Jupiter had a staff. Sailor
Venus carried a whip. Sailor Uranus had a battleaxe. And Sailor Neptune had a mace.
Sailor Pluto, Sailor Saturn, Sailor Mini-Moon, and Tuxedo mask stood by them. They would lead
off the attack.

"Dead scream."

"Saturn glaive slash!"

"Mini-Moon beam!" A pink beam of light lanced out of Sailor Mini-Moon's broach.

"I didn't know you could do that," Sailor Saturn commented.

"It was one of the abilities I was given after Serena's and my powers were increased."

"Cool." Each of the Armored Sailor Scouts slowly walked forward. All the Demonics had bad
flashback to how they were beaten before.

"Neptune Mace Strike Attack!"

"Uranus Axe Slash Attack!"

"Venus Light Whip Attack!"

"Jupiter Thunder Staff Attack!"

"Mars Fire Bow Attack!"

"Mercury Ice Spear Attack!" Each of the power moves was like a blow to the head for the
Demonics.

"Sailor Moon, finish them off," Armored Sailor Mars said.

"You don't have to tell me twice. MOON SABER SLICE ATTACK!" Armored Sailor Moon swung her
sword and cut Ramulus down. The Demonics fell.

"We did it," Armored Sailor Mercury said as she let out a deep breath.

"No time for rest, Sailors," Armored Sailor Moon said. "There's still the cat face to deal
with."

"Whoa, when did you get a back bone?" Armored Sailor Mars asked.

"Zip it, Mars. Sailor Saturn, Sailor Venus, Sailor Jupiter, come with me. The rest of you, get
ready to return the Demonics to the chamber."

"I'm coming too," Artemis decided.

"What's wrong with Serena?" Sailor Saturn whispered to Sailor Mercury.

"Maybe it has something to do with the armor's previous owner," Sailor Mercury whispered back.
"Perhaps the spirits of the ones who wore this armor before us still exist within the armor.
The Sailor Moon who wore that armor last must have been a real leader."

"Maybe Serena should take a few lessons."

"Uh-huh."
