Chapter 20: Crossfire

Rei's grandfather opened the door and entered the fire-reading room. "Rei, your friend Usagi's here."

Usagi walked into the room, followed by Chibi-Usa, "Hi guys..."

"Hey there, rabbits." Rei joked.

"Don't call me rabbit!" Both Usagis shouted in unison.

"How do you do that?" Rei asked.

"Do what?" Both Usagis asked in unison.

"That."

"What?" The two girls asked.

"Forget it..." Rei muttered.

"Forget what?" The two girls asked.

"Go figures..." Rei muttered with a sigh.

Suddenly, there was an explosion outside. "What was that?" Usagi asked.

"They dare coming into a sacred place like this?" Rei said with a scowl. "I'll kick them out of this planet."

"Chibi-Usa, stay in here." Usagi ordered the little girl, then turned to the others. "Moon Prism Power Make Up!"

"Mars Power Make Up!"

"I won't say this twice. Get out of my way." Cooan snapped.

"You can't come in here, miss." Yuichiro said as he stood wielding a broom like if it was a sword. "This is a sacred place."

Sailors Mars and Moon dashed out of the house and gasped, "That fool's going to get himself hurt." Sailor Mars muttered.

"Get out of my way, human." Beruche said with a frown.

Yuichiro didn't reply with words, but with actions. He charged at the two women and swung his broom at them as he hissed by. When he was done, the two women were massaging their arms. "Had enough?"

"That did hurt." Cooan noted.

"This human must be pretty strong." Beruche noted. "Dark Water!" The water beam sent Yuu crashing into a tree. "But he's not water-proof. " She added with a chuckle.

"You're dead, witches." Sailor Mars growled as she walked towards them.

"What happened with the 'Stop it right there'?" Cooan asked.

"I kick butts first and talk later." Sailor Mars muttered. "Fire Soul!"

Beruche deflected the attack with her water beam. "That was pathetic. "

"Then try this!" Sailor Mars shouted and leapt-kicked the white-haired woman, who nearly fell down the stairs as she staggered back.

"Selene Laser!" Sailor Moon sent an attack at Cooan, but she dodged it.

Sailor Mars then turned to Beruche. "Play with fire and you shall burn."

Beruche shrugged, "Just try and hit me, firegirl."

"You asked for it. Fire Soul!"

Beruche leapt over the attack and kicked Mars' head, making her fall to the ground. She then laughed evil "I'm too fast for you, kid."

Sailor Mars closed her eyes for a moment, then she opened them again and glared at Beruche "I'll burn you to a crisp. Mars..." She started running towards Beruche, and her suit glowed white for a moment. "Flaming Kick!" As she leapt at Beruche, fire appeared on her feet. The combined kick and fire blast sent Beruche rolling back on the ground several meters.

Beruche slammed hard on a tree and moaned "That kid hits hard..."

"I'm no kid, witch." Mars snapped.

Sailor Moon came running upstairs, chasing after Cooan "Selene Laser!"

Cooan barely missed the attack and pouted "They're too strong!"

Beruche stood up massaging her head and nodded "Yeah... We can catch that rabbit later, let's get out of here!"

"I sensed a surge of energy in the city." Ann noted.

Ail nodded "I know that, Ann... And it's not any of those Senshi. If there's a treat to the Makaijuu other than the Senshi, we must eliminate it."

"Well... I don't know... I may be wrong, but the Senshi don't seem to be evil. They protect the people in this city, after all."

Ail nodded "Maybe you're right... But we must feed the Makaijuu, or it'll die. And we'll die along with it."

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
