SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 9 out, this is Chapter 10 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Disclaimers: I own not Sailor Moon or Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. The only thing I own is the plot bunny which, unfortunately, is still alive.
Chapter 10: Orion Rising (1)
"What in star-blazing was that?" Maya frowned, bumping into the forcefield Destruxo had erected just moments earlier. "There's some sort of invisible wall here." She pressed her hands against the barrier.
"Obviously." Amy stated, pointing to the other people who were also trapped.
"Amy, what are you doing here?" Kendrix looked at the navy-haired doctor.
"I ran out of sanitary napkins, so I went to the pharmacy to pick some up." Amy showed the two women her carrier bag.
"Scorpius." Both Kendrix and Maya looked at each other.
"Lights of Orion, show yourself!" Destruxo commanded, burying his staff into the ground.
"Look, over there." Maya pointed.
"Kendrix, Maya, morph." Amy instructed. "Aeon Mercury Power!" she transformed in the midst of a shower of light blue bubbles.
"Amy, you're Sailor Mercury?" Kendrix was shocked. "Does Kai know?"
"I'll prefer to keep it a secret for now." The ice Senshi winked. "Besides, it'll be amusing to see his face when he finds out."
"Excuse me," Maya addressed Destruxo. "If you're looking for trouble, you've found it."
"How did you three pests get inside the forcefield?" Destruxo demanded.
"You think you can keep us out, you're wrong!" Kendrix snapped.
"Attack and destroy!" Destruxo gave the order.
"Icycle Ray!" Aeon Mercury's ice shards froze the Stingwingers solid. "Why is it always the same old attack pattern?" she muttered, the two female Rangers shattering the ice statues.
"You three happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time." Destruxo chuckled, after the three girls defeated his troops.
"Wrong again!" Maya snapped. "Quasar Saber!" both Rangers pulled out their weapons, powered up and charged.
"You'll have to do a lot better than that." Destruxo mocked, grabbing both swords with his hands and threw them off. "Now I'll show you three the way it's supposed to be done." He drew his weapon.
"Fire!" Leo gave the order, the three males riding in on their Astro Cycles. "Another forcefield!" he cursed.
"Let's do it!" Maya declared, both Rangers inside the barrier renewing their attack again.
"Sword of Typhon!" Aeon Mercury summoned her own weapon. "Pressure Blade!" she used her powered up sword to attack Destruxo from behind.
"Too bad, so sad." Destruxo tsked, his armour deflecting the attack and took out the three females with a V-shaped energy slash. "What's the matter, Rangers? Out of breath?"
"What's happening? Maya wondered.
"Of course." Aeon Mercury stood up, her crystal visor had already finished its scanning. "The forcefield cuts off everything from the outside, including air."
"You may have gotten in, but you won't get out." Destruxo taunted. "At least not until your air is gone. You're pathetic. Give up now."
"We got to save the colony." Kendrix remarked. "We'll have to deal with him later."
"No!" Maya objected. "We've got to stop him, now!"
"Maya!" Aeon Mercury shouted after the yellow Ranger who had charged in. "Maya." The two female warriors hurried over once Maya was beaten back by Destruxo.
"Shabon Spray!" Aeon Mercury cast her icy fog and the three made their escape.
"Don't touch me!" the untransformed Maya shook Kendrix off.
"But you're hurt." Kendrix pointed out. "I was just trying to help."
"Help?" Maya echoed. "You could've helped me fight, instead of retreating. We've got to stop that monster before we all run out of air."
"We need the guys." Amy argued. "He's too powerful for us to take alone."
"Fine," Maya retorted. "I'll stop him myself."
"Wait!" Kendrix called, trying to stop Maya to no avail. "There's got to a way out." She slammed her hands against the barrier moments later.
"Maybe…" Amy took out her compact computer. "If we can find the origin of the forcefield…"
"Let's go." Kendrix fought off the Stingwingers who were about to ambush Maya and led the other Ranger off. "Amy found the source of the forcefield." She told Maya, the two meeting up with the untransformed Senshi.
"There." Amy pointed to the structure that had two Stingwingers guarding it. "That's the source of the forcefield."
"Defender Torozord." Kendrix winced at the shockwave, the three females seeing the said Zord hitting against the forcefield.
"What's he doing?" Maya asked.
"Doesn't he know about Newton's third law?" Amy inquired. "The ship will be ripped apart."
"We got to stop him." Leo stated and the three males outside the barrier morphed. "Galactabeast, arise!"
"Now's our chance." Kendrix said and the three ran towards the barrier structure.
"Let me guess." Destruxo blocked their path. "You missed me."
"Fat chance." Amy scoffed. "Ladies?"
With a unison smile, the three transformed.
"Transdaggers!" the two Rangers pulled out their weapons.
"Rain Storm!" Aeon Mercury fired off her multiple water balls at Destruxo.
"Fire!" the two Rangers released their energy arrows at the distracted monster.
"I really don't want to be the guys right now." Aeon Mercury muttered, as the two Rangers charged in. "Avalanche Defense!" this time, her ice shield blocked off Destruxo's energy strike.
"Oh please." Destruxo tsked. "Neither one of you is a challenge to me at all."
"Alone maybe," Maya concurred. But together…"
"We make a pretty awesome team." Kendrix finished.
"I doubt it." Destruxo mocked.
"Ladies, shall we?" Aeon Mercury smiled.
"Let's." Maya nodded.
"This ought to take care of you." Destruxo fired his blasts at the charging Rangers, only to have Aeon Mercury's 'Water Shield' block off his attack.
"Transdagger!" Maya sealed off Destruxo's sword, Kendrix taking out the monster on the next turn.
"Time to destroy the forcefield." Maya powered up her sword and took out the forcefield generator, releasing the barrier.
"Don't you think you congratulate yourselves a little too soon, ladies?" Destruxo got back to his feet.
"Alright." Leo remarked, the three males meeting up with their teammates. "You've neutralized the forcefield."
"Enough of this cutesy stuff." Destruxo cut in. "Time's running out."
"Quasar Launchers!" Maya took the lead this time.
"Energy launch!" Kendrix gave the cue and the bazookas released their blasts.
"Now, I'm really mad!" Destruxo roared. "Don't' you get it." He mocked. "I'm indestructible."
"Everyone has a weakness." Aeon Mercury snorted. "We just have to find yours."
"The Lights!" Destruxo exclaimed as the ground shook. "The Lights of Orion are here!" he declared amidst the thundering whirlwind as the orb of light emerged from his staff. "They are magnificent!"
"Of course." Aeon Mercury nodded at the light sphere that was hovering above them. "I understand. Go now."
"Stop!" Destruxo cried as he chased after the light orb, the Rangers following suit. "Come back! Where are you going? Wait! If it won't for you, the Lights would've been mine now." He railed at the Rangers. "I'll find them again, then you'll pay dearly!" with that promise, he vanished.
SailorStar9: Sorry, no Kai/Amy moment in this chapter. Now that's done, read and review.
