Chapter 12: The Power of the Inner Scorpion
Disclaimer: I do not own 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.
A/N I'd like to announce that the Tokyo Mew Mew will have super forms. However these Super forms will be known as Modes. Two examples are Mew Erika Inner Scorpion Mode and Mew Ichigo Angel Mode. I'll need your help for the Tokyo Mew Mew to have Super Modes. So if anyone of you has ideas during your reviews, I will take your thoughts and maybe when the Mew Mews do get their super forms your idea might be read in that chapter. However it is not in this chapter. (Just put down the suggestion and I will make up the custom.)
Usagi, Chibi-Usa, and Ichigo were walking down the town where last night's destruction still lied. The three girls gave out a gasp when they didn't see eleven buildings where they should've been now a huge creator was in the place. They walked a little closer to it. Once there the three girls glanced down to see space itself. They quickly called Ami to answer the question that was in their minds. When Ami arrived she glanced down herself.
"Ami, asteroids don't do this do they?" Ichigo asked her.
"No, this is impossible!" Ami said "This defies the laws of astronomy! Nothing can do this."
"Something did" Chibi-Usa said "Something stronger than humans."
"It's not me" Tart said as he appeared alongside with Pudding.
"True, Taruto was with me the whole entire night" Pudding said.
"Tart was any other alien with you when you arrived?" Ami asked.
"No, not that I know of."
"Is that space?" Usagi asked leaning too close to the edge.
Ami took out her microcomputer and studied the black object, in a few minutes she said "It is! Usagi-chan don't get too close to the edge"
The warning came too late, the edge broke causing Usagi to fall into the hole screaming, but before she fell she grabbed onto Ichigo's leg pulling her down with her.
Tart gasped and grabbed Ichigo's hands. This slowed down Usagi and Ichigo's fall. The two girls glanced down as the edge fell into space. The weight of the two girls was too much and Tart himself began slowly fall into the hole. Pudding grabbed onto his hands when Pudding began to get near the edge Chibi-Usa grabbed onto Pudding's waist. This was still not enough as Chibi-Usa began to lose it herself Ami grabbed her by the waist and then the three girls pulled. This was the boost they needed. The three girls pulled Ichigo and Usagi out of it. Once on safe ground Ichigo collapsed onto the ground to regain her breathe since she had been screaming her own heart out "That was close Usagi! Don't ever do that again!"
"Ditto" Usagi said agreeing with her cousin.
Luna, and Diana ran by "Usagi...Ichigo..."
The two girls were sitting on the ground trying to regain their breathe and ignored the two cats.
"ICHIGO, USAGI!" Diana shouted.
This caused the girls to glance up at the two cats. The two cats saw the fear in the leader's eyes.
"What happened?" Luna asked Ami whom was catching her own breathe she had almost seen her leader fall into space a lethal fate for anyone.
Pudding, Chibi-Usa and Tart also were also regaining their breathe.
Ami glanced at Luna "We almost lost the Moon Princess"
"What how?" Diana asked.
Tart pointed to the creator "The creator...Usagi almost fell into it, she nearly brought Ichigo with her. The creator leads to outer space not the molten core."
Luna walked over to the creator "Ami do you have any ideas what could've done this?"
"No, this defies logic! Whatever did this was not human!" Ami said.
"So what did you two come to us for?" Usagi asked.
"It's Erika..." Luna said.
"What is she?" Ichigo asked.
"No...She's alive, however she's in the recovery room in Café Mew Mew."
This caused Ichigo, Pudding, Tart to jump onto their legs.
"I hope she's alright" Tart said to Ichigo.
"Let's hope so Tart."
Diana nodded "Yes, Ryou is calling for an all Sailor Scouts, Tokyo Mew Mew and Romance Knights Emergency Meeting!"
Ami nodded as she along with Chibi-Usa helped Usagi up "Yeah, Ryou might know something about this."
"Let's go" Ichigo said.
The group left. Soon they were in the Café. All members were in the recovery room glancing at Erika.
Mamoru glanced at his cousin as Ami felt her forehead. She glanced at him "She's okay...She's just sleeping"
Mamoru sighed with relief at this then Ryou addressed the meeting "Well, as you know Erika and I were going to find the Saint Rose Crusader's HQ. Well we found one only for it to turn into a trap. Two others got away but Tiger-Eye and Count Blue Bayou stayed to defend it."
"Where was it?" Rei asked.
"Did anyone see the creator?" Ryou asked.
"No what creator?" Minako, Rei, and Makoto asked.
"The one where you can see Outer Space?" Ami asked.
"Yes, that one" Masaya sighed.
"Wait a second the creator was where the Saint Rose Crusader HQ was?" Usagi asked catching on.
"Yes" Ryou said.
"Well it's gone now, I thought you Mew Mews were going to take them out once you found them."
"That was the original plan...However Tiger-Eye and Count Blue Bayou forced Mew Erika to fight them."
"Shouldn't have been that hard for her" Ami said.
"It was, they used her fear to their advantage" Ryou said.
"Wait fear? Oh yeah she fears hornets, bees, and wasp! They used them against her?" Zakuro asked.
"Yes, it wasn't pretty...They nearly killed her."
"I'd say she has puncture wounds all over her body. Though they aren't bleeding" Ami said.
"Be glad you didn't see her yesterday night Mamoru she had needles everywhere except for her head...I tell you my sister is a fighter...Even though she had needles on her she still proceeded to fight her...The needles were poisonous too."
"What was the venom?" Lettuce asked glancing for an anti venom.
"Japanese Giant Hornet venom"
"That would kill her. She had thousands on her and she still didn't die...Wow she is a fighter. One that won't give up" Berry said.
"Why is she still alive then?" Usagi asked "And why is she sleeping when it's ten in the morning? She normally gets up at Seven in the morning she told me!
Ryou and Masaya glanced at each other and nodded.
"The Inner Demon was released last night"
"The Inner Scorpion?" everyone except for Ryou and Masaya shouted.
"Yeah it was released...It wasn't released by Erika's anger or hatred."
"Wait it can now come out anytime?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes" Ryou said "I was afraid of this would happen. The Inner Scorpion still will feed on Mew Erika's hatred and anger. However on certain conditions the Inner Demon will take over the body without any reason at all. Rarely it will take over if the offspring is poisoned and near death."
"That doesn't sound that bad" Usagi said.
"It is" Ryou said then he explained "If the Inner Scorpion is released this way, the Inner Demon will be filled with rage and with this rage comes unbelievable powers. It becomes out of control and unleashes a powerful blast of energy. The orange energy is the sign of Mew Erika Inner Scorpion Mode's power but it's also it's ultimate technique."
"What do you mean at unbelievable powers?" Ami asked.
"Like that creator you saw. If the Inner Scorpion is released when it's offspring is poisoned and near death like Erika was in the last battle, the Inner Scorpion's power destroys everything in it's path...The blast destroyed those eleven buildings you saw and created the hole in the Earth."
With this everyone glanced at Erika's chest as if they could see the Inner Scorpion. They began to have very very much respect for the Inner Demon and now much much more fear in it.
"Wait is that all?" Ami asked.
"No!"
Everyone turned to Ryou wit surprise in their eyes.
"That destruction was only an eighth of Mew Erika Inner Scorpion Mode's power."
"An eighth?" Usagi and Ichigo gasped.
"Yes an eighth" Masaya said.
"So the blast was only minor compared to what the Inner Scorpion's true power can do?" Ami asked.
"Yes, at it's full power and left untreated the Inner Scorpion will release a blast that can destroy an entire planet within one blow" Ryou said.
"Another Sailor Saturn" Chibi-Usa said.
"Yes, except this Sailor Saturn doesn't die when it destroys planets. Instead it's offspring will have all of it's energy completely drained for a week...Even if it was an eighth of it"
"So she's out of commission till her energy comes back" Ichigo said.
"Correct" Ryou said.
"Wow, I'm beginning to have deep respect for the Inner Demon" Tart said "And I still fear it. I fear it even worse" Tart said.
Mamoru turned to Tart "So Usagi told me you were wanting to see me"
Tart nodded "Yes, I love Pudding and would do anything to protect her...Can you help me?"
"Sure you can join the Romance Knights need more members" Mamoru said smiling at Tart.
"Thank you"
Ami glanced at Ryou "So what's next on the agenda today?"
"I'll keep watch on Erika, just in case anyone tries to kill her in her sleep" Ryou said.
"Okay and when a monster strikes we'll take care of it" Usagi said.
Ichigo nodded "Say I wonder if Tiger-Eye or our this Count Blue Bayou survive the Inner Demon."
Dead Moon Circus
Hawk-Eye walked into the recovery room. He glanced at Sweet Juliet whom was recovering easily. Then he glanced over as Tiger-Eye came into the room.
"Make way we got wounded!" Tiger-Eye shouted.
"What happened?" Sweet Juliet asked Count Blue Bayou.
"Inner Demon...Blew up our HQ and ten other buildings" Count Blue Bayou said as he fell lifeless.
"COUNT BLUE BAYOU!" Sweet Juliet screamed out as she realized it was too late to save him.
Hawk-Eye and Fish-Eye glanced at Tiger-Eye and he nodded "Yes the Inner Demon got so mad at us that it blew up everything...See for yourselves"
He turned on a TV and a New Camera crew was at the creator.
"I see" Sweet Juliet said.
She glanced at Count Blue Bayou "Royal Highness Duke is not going to like this one bit...Well at least they got away."
Fish-Eye ran at her side "Your hurt yourself Sweet Juliet! We can't let you go until you have recovered!"
"Thanks" Sweet Juliet said.
Hawk-Eye glanced at Tiger-Eye who now had a fearful expression on his face "What is it you look pale."
"I should...That Inner Demon could've killed me as well. That was only an eighth of her power...We've gotta come up with a plan to steal the Inner Demon from Mew Erika...WE SHOULD'VE DONE IT WHEN WE HAD HER ON THE ROPES!"
Fish-Eye glanced at Tiger-Eye and Hawk-Eye "Boys, do I look like an old hag to you?"
Tiger-Eye and Hawk-Eye glanced at her "No of course not Fish-Eye why did you ask?"
"One of the aliens have returned. The youngest one it looked like...That alien had the guts to say Old Hag to me in my face!"
"I would've slapped him for that" Sweet Juliet said "Then again that same alien called Mew Ichigo that plenty of times...It's a habit of his."
"That needs to be corrected" Hawk-Eye said "This alien you speak of, I will see to it that he will be corrected. I'll look inside his dream Mirror, Tiger-Eye stay here and recover!"
Hawk-Eye vanished to deal with Tart.
"Fish-Eye can we berry Count Blue Bayou?" Sweet Juliet asked.
"Yes, but your own leader needs to be alerted of his death"
"I want to become one of you guys...I still control Chimera Animas...Plus I am getting fealings for someone here."
"Me?" Tiger-Eye asked.
"Yes" Sweet Juliet said.
Fish-Eye laughed "Master Zirconia would be too happy to make you one of us...We'll train you tomorrow or when you get better, that is after he accepts you"
Sweet Juliet looked up "And we berry Count Blue Bayou"
Tiger-Eye glanced up and thought Where does that Inner Demon get it's energy from?
Okay Reviews Please
A/N I know in the Manga Count Blue Bayou didn't die. However think about it could some human survive being burnt to death by what felt like a Hydrogen Bomb? I think not. Tiger-Eye did because well, he's not from Earth so I hope you don't mind me making Count Blue Bayou die.
