Chapter 21: Light Power Up

"I see you still like to do some exercise in the morning, big rabbit." Makoto noted with a grin as Usagi entered the classroom running as usual.

"Very funny." Usagi muttered. "We have a math exam today, remember?"

"And you studied for it?" Ami blinked.

"Yeah. I was up studying until 2 AM." Usagi explained.

Makoto put a hand on Usagi's forehead, "You've got no fever... but still... you studying?"

"Thanks for the support." Usagi muttered with a frown.

"Hey, you know I'm kidding." Makoto said grinning.

Just then, the Ginga twins walked into the classroom. "Hey there, Ami!" Seijuro shouted.

Usagi chuckled, "Hi, Seijuro."

"Sure, go ahead, ignore the girl." Natsumi muttered.

"We're not ignoring you." Makoto said. "But then again, you're not very communicative either."

"Believe me, it's better if she doesn't speak at all." Seijuro muttered. "There's enough weirdness around here with Gurio-kun."

"Someone summoned me?" Umino asked popping in between the group.

"Aaah! Don't do that!" Both Usagi and Natsumi shouted at him.

"See? I'm not as weird as him." Seijuro commented.

"I agree." Umino said.

"Hail Umino, master of the weird." Makoto chanted and bowed.

"You guys are weird..." Seijuro muttered with a frown.

"You'll get used to them." Usagi commented.

"That's a scary thought..." Seijuro noted with a sigh. Usagi and Natsumi chuckled.

"What's Umino-kun doing?" Usagi asked.

Naru looked at him then sighed "Go figures..." She muttered as she saw Umino was petting a caterpillar which was lazily moving through his desk.

"I'd rather have a dog or a cat as a pet..." Makoto commented.

"You should be jealous, he's got a new girlfriend." Usagi whispered to Naru.

Naru shrugged, "He's not my boyfriend. And talking about that, how's Chiba-kun?"

Usagi blushed, "Eeehhhh..." Just then, the math teacher walked through the door "Saved by the bell..." She muttered.

"You really think this is a good idea?" Kyouya muttered.

"This place was attacked, and we drove them away. I don't think they will attack it again." Minako commented.

"Still, there's other malls in this city."

"Yeah, but this one's near my house." Minako said.

"Whatever works..." Kyouya muttered.

"Hey, isn't that Naru?" Minako said pointing at a red-haired girl a few meters away from them.

"Yeah. Wonder if that nuts Umino is near?"

"Someone called me?" Umino asked popping in between Minako and Brad.

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

Usagi had decided to also come to the same mall, and was now walking around with Chibi-Usa and Mamoru. "There's always this much people in here?" Mamoru asked.

"Yeah... first time you come here?" Usagi asked.

Mamoru nodded, "Tamaki told me about this place once, but I've been quite busy with college and... well, you know..."

Usagi nodded "Yeah, I know... I wonder when they'll attack next... "

"With our luck..." Mamoru started.

"Don't say it. That's why I brought Chibi-Usa along." She then turned to Chibi-Usa. "Hey, what's up? You're too silent today."

Chibi-Usa shook her head, "Don't worry, I'm fine..." She said with a smile.

Usagi nodded, but was still worried. Maybe she was missing her home. She still wondered where that girl had come from, she had adapted too quickly to be from outside Japan... But the weirdest thing was, she had Tokyo's accent. Usagi shook the thoughts out of her mind, "Well, let's find somewhere to eat."

Just then, there were screams and some people running in panic "Go figures..." Ami muttered.

"Date busted then." Tamaki shrugged and pulled Ami into a deserted corridor.

"Is it me or are those things different from normal?" Sailor Mercury asked.

"It isn't you." Tanzanite agreed, seeing the more human-like creatures wearing leaf armors. "Freeze Brid!"

"Selene Laser!"

Tanzanite turned and saw Sailor Moon and Endymion, "Well, it's good to have some backups." He noted.

"Earth Sword Beam!" The attack blasted one of the creatures apart. "Those things look tougher than the tree creatures."

Tanzanite nodded, "But they're still weaklings." He leapt towards the crowd of enemies as he unsheathed his sword, and started slashing at the aliens. "Weed control time!" He shouted just before the creatures swarmed him.

"He's nuts..." Endymion muttered.

"I know." Sailor Mercury sighed. "I'll get him out of there."

Suddenly, Ail and Ann appeared over the crowd of aliens, "You don't know when to give up, do you?" Ann snapped.

"We could ask the same to you." Sailor Moon snapped back glaring at the alien girl.

Tanzanite leapt from the crowd of creatures right at Ann. Ail's eyes widened "Ann, watch out!" He shot a green energy ball that sent Tanzanite flying away and down to the first floor.

"It's a three-story fall..." Sailor Moon noted worriedly.

"He'll be fine, he's got Shitennou strength." Endymion commented, seeing Sailor Mercury rush out. "But we should worry about ourselves..." He noted as the swarm of creatures started advancing towards them.

Meanwhile, down in the first floor of the mall, Minako and Kyouya were were looking as people run out of the building. "Hey, what's going on?" Naru asked.

"Probably some energy-draining aliens are attacking. Soon the Senshi will show up and kill them though..." Umino noted. Just then, a pack of armored aliens run towards them, and shot some seeds at them.

"Hey watch it!" Minako shouted as she dodged the attack. Everyone but Umino and Naru had dodged, and Minako sighed, "Not exactly a good way to take them out of the way, but... Venus Power Makeup!"

Just as Venus was going to summon her attack, Tanzanite came crashing down on the ground in front of her. Sailor Venus grimaced "Hey, are you okay?"

Tanzanite looked at her then tried to stand up. He grabbed his arm in pain and frowned, "I think... I broke my arm..."

"That's not good..." Kunzite said.

"Sailor Moon and Endymion are up there, along with the two main aliens." Sailor Mercury noted. "Hold still." She told her Shitennou counterpart.

"Okay, let's give those things a lesson..." Kunzite suggested and cracked his knuckles before watching in awe as Sailor Moon and Endymion came running down the stairs chased by the crowd of creatures "More weeds to cut." He muttered.

Ail and Ann came floating down from the third floor and loomed over the Senshi, "You've caused us too much troubles. We don't want to destroy you, but if you keep on interfering..."

Sailor Mercury glared at them. "Okay, I'm fed off with aliens coming and trying to drain innocent people. Snow Spray!" The gathered snow shot up, hitting the two aliens and freezing them. "Now, destroy the others!" She said turning to Sailor Venus.

Sailor Venus nodded and was about to attack, but suddenly Cooan and Beruche materialized in front of the group. "Oh darn..."

"We're here to get the rabbit." Cooan said.

"So give her up and we may consider not killing you." Beruche added.

Kunzite frowned and leapt up in the air, and then aimed his open palm at the two Ayakashi "Wisp Ray!" A large light energy beam shot at the two women, sending them crashing on a wall.

Ail and Ann fled out of the dark cloud and looked at the two Ayakashi, "They're the evil ones we sensed before..." Ann noted.

Ail nodded, "We can't let them live." He shot another green energy beam at them.

Cooan leapt aside, while Beruche ducked. The attack opened a huge hole in the wall. "Who the heck are those?" Cooan asked.

"Never mind... Dark Water!"

Ail chuckled as the attack hit "Water against plants? Not a wise choice." He shot another attack and blasted Beruche into the hole.

Cooan growled and leapt at him "Dark Fire!"

Ann shot a pink energy blast that blocked the fire attack, then rapidly shot another one to send Cooan skipping on the ground. She then turned to the Senshi, "Now, where were we...?"

"Dark Fire 2!" This time, Cooan's attack got the aliens off-guard, and they were sent crashing on the ground.

Sailor Venus glared at Cooan and Beruche, who had just walked back into the mall through the hole in the wall. "I'm really tired of you girls... I don't know why you want Chibi-Usa, but I won't let you have her."

"You're just another weak Senshi..." Beruche snapped.

"Weak Senshi?" Venus snapped with a frown "That's it!" She could feel a surge of power running through her body, and somehow she knew what to do. "Venus..." She held her hands up, two large light balls appeared around them. "V-Laser.." She reached her arms forwards, with her palms open, it looked like she was actually grabbing the large energy ball that had formed, but it was actually floating a few millimeters away from them. "Blast!" She shouted, and the ball turned into a light beam that sent both Ayakashi flying away, creating yet another hole in the wall.

Sailor Moon looked around "Where are the other aliens?"

Tanzanite came walking towards her, Sailor Mercury having healed him, "They vanished as Sailor Venus blasted the Ayakashi out of the city."

Endymion walked out through the hole, "Well, the Ayakashi are not around, so I guess we won." He commented.

Ail sighed, "Well, it seems like that wasn't enough."

Ann looked at the pale Makaijuu and frowned, "We could have stayed there and drained them."

Ail rose an eyebrow, "Drain the Senshi? Hmmm... Maybe that's a good idea. They seem to have more energy than a normal human."

"But what about the evil ones?"

"That's one serious trouble. The fire one is stronger than us."

"Then we should let the Senshi beat them. Once that's done, we'll drain the Senshi."

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