Puffgirl1952 the 2nd: Idiots indeed. Mars really shouldn't have done that.
Princess Amanda The Third: Again, as above, Mars really set off the fight. Oh, they'll try to talk Usagi into coming back, but she's definitely not going to.
rinnegan18: Is there any other word to describe them? I don't think there is...
Wishfull-star: Well, you don't have to wait anymore. Here you go.
Guest: The Senshi can't really compare with the Titans. The Titans have a longer time and experience with each other, and they fight well together. The Senshi... are, well, not.
Guest (2): That's one way to describe it. You're right, of course. Their relationship is seriously screwed up by now.
To all: I hope the fight scene is up to expectations...
Enjoy the story.
A stream of fire was sent at the Titans, followed by shouts of, "Shine Snow Illusion!" "Rolling Heart Vibration!" "Supreme Thunder!", which were in turn followed by a snow storm, a glowing heart, as well as bolts of lightning flying at the group.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven incanted, raising a wall made from a black shadowy raven, which quickly swallowed the attacks and rendered the energy harmless.
"Titans, go!" Robin ordered, pulling his staff out as Tuxedo Mask started his turn. The two masked males started a clash of poles, the top hat-wearing older male wielding a cane and the younger ex-disciple of Batman using his steel staff. When it came to power, the Raven was not completely certain of the Boy Wonder's physical strength, but when it came to skill, the walking traffic-light had it all.
Cyborg and Uranus had teamed up to perform a team attack. The half-machine used his sonic cannon at the Senshi while Uranus called forth her earthquake attack to make the traitors fall to the ground, opening them wide up to get hit.
Neptune followed up with a blast of energy from her gloved hands, then she joined Starfire's glowing green starbolts with blast after blast of energy, creating a blur of turquoise and green as the attacks flew at the Senshi.
Beast Boy charged at the group in the form of large animals, trying to herd them into a group so that the others could get them more easily. The green tiger roared loudly as it lunged at the Senshi.
"No," Sailor Moon protested in a low voice. "Please, stop that." Her small voice was drowned out by the sounds of energy blasts hitting the floor or their target, and the blonde shook her head, taking a step back.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven incanted, throwing up another barrier to deflect a bolt of lightning that had been aimed at her by the Senshi in green and pink. Annoyed and not a bit angered at the fact that these so-called guardians saw it fit to dictate someone else's destiny for them, the sorceress' eyes narrowed, engulfed in an opaque white glow that signified her magic at use. She raised her hands, covered in the black glow of her demon-tainted magic, ready to deliver another strike with her powers.
"Akuryo Taisan!" The black-haired Senshi of Mars raised her white-gloved arms into the air and directed a steady torrent of raging flames towards the Titans, manipulating the glowing red tongues of flame at the superhero team with an unnatural ease. Then again, what she was was already unnatural. "Mercury! Now!" she ordered, leaping into the air to avoid Uranus' World Shaking attack as it tore at the crystal floor.
The dark blue-haired Senshi nodded, raising a white-gloved hand to the side of her face and activating a transparent light blue visor that covered the top half of her face. "Sabao Spray Freezing!" She gathered her hands together, then as whiteish-blue bubbles began to froth, she threw her arms outward, turning the battlefield into a misty, fog-covered area. The temperature took a sharp drop to freezing, and while Raven did not feel affected with the adrenaline coursing through her body, she was aware that Moon was starting to shiver a little.
"Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Jupiter's strong voice echoed out in the room as bolt after bolt of flickering blue lightning was shot at the Titans through the fog that miraculously failed to evaporate even though the lightning was rightly at a high temperature. The light from the electricity that was used as projectile briefly illuminated the fog enough for Raven to see that the Senshi were gathered together.
Sending that information through her link with Robin as she raised a shield, the half-demon girl saw the Boy Wonder flash her a thumbs up as he started making mental plans and calculations. Raven's ears picked up on the sound of a metal chain being unwrapped, the soft 'clink' audible to her ears, but judging from the shift in Beast Boy's pointed green ears and Starfire's frown, they had heard it as well.
"Venus Love-Me Chain!" A golden-orange chain cut through the mist following Venus' voice ringing out.
Before it could deal any true damage, Starfire shot over to the chain and grabbed it with her bare hands, letting the ends wrap around her wrist before she yanked on it. Hard. To the resounding yelp of pain on the other end, the alien told firmly, "I am sorry, but you must deal with the consequences of your actions, yes?" Without waiting for an answer to that, she brought her arms up, still holding onto the chain and then forcefully swung it down, sending a wave reaction through the length of the glowing chain. A thump could be heard on the other end as Sailor Venus was roughly smacked onto the ground.
"Nice hit, Star," Beast Boy said with a wide grin, exposing his canines. The green changeling shifted into the form of a polar bear, though his green fur did little to remedy the strangeness of his outward appearance. The polar bear growled lowly at the mist, turning to where the Senshi were, sharp nose seeking the group out with ease. He glared sharply at the direction, letting the Titans know that they were in that general area.
"Good job, BB!" Cyborg cheered in a low tone. Changing his arm to his sonic cannon, the half-machine grinned widely as he took aim at the Senshi. The blue light that lit up the weapon gathered at his arm, then it cut straight through the cold mist and fog to reveal the group of seven, just standing there like deer caught in headlights as the neon blue laser shot through the fog at them. "Eat sonic cannon!" the man announced proudly.
"Get down!" the man in the tuxedo yelled out. "Now!"
The group all scattered like dust being blown by wind, though one of them wasn't as lucky. The blonde, blue-eyed soldier in orange and blue was caught by surprise when she nearly tripped over a crack in the crystal floor and fell to the ground, luckily avoiding the brunt of the attack, though several inches of her golden blond locks were shaved off. "Ugh, seriously?" she yelled, quickly getting to her feet as she eyed her burnt-black strands of hair. "Hair damage like this can't be repaired, you know!"
"Get the sonic ready, Cyborg," Robin ordered in a low whisper as he discreetly pulled out an explosive projectile from his weaponry arsenal — not that it mattered, since once Cyborg's sonic cannon vanished, the mist gathered once more and blocked their sight again. "I've got the boom."
The half-machine man nodded in understanding, the old code-name for their combo ringing familiar as always. Raising his arm once again, he readied himself for the masked superhero's throw, and once the Boy Wonder flung the bird-a-rang into the air like it was a discus, targeting the area where the changeling directed him to, Cyborg activated his sonic cannon, the blue light once again tearing through the layer of mist and fog to punch into the explosive projectile,
As was expected, the explosion lit up the room.
Sailor Moon had had enough of the fight, though. Closing her eyes, she shouted out, "Stop! Stop fighting! Now!" The golden brooch on her bow flared right up, burning a blinding silver that quickly filled the room.
Raven could feel the dust stirring up in the room, a sharp stab of pain appearing on her forehead. She winced, furrowing her brow.
Once the dust settled, the fog was gone. The Senshi were mostly unharmed — mostly, because Venus' hair was scorched and she was scratched from being thrown around earlier, Mercury looked to have a couple of scratches, and the man had lost his top hat in the midst of the chaos. His cape, however, was also smoking like it was about to burst into flames. Endymion finally dropped the cape and looked at Sailor Moon with a frown.
"Usako," he started, sounding almost pleading. "Please, come back to me. To us," he said, gesturing to the rest of the Senshi.
"Yeah! Usagi-chan," Jupiter stated confidently as the brunette walked forward, holding out a gloved hand. "You're our princess. You deserve better than those freaks."
Sailor Moon's teeth grit when she heard that, and the blonde's hands curled into fists. "Stop!" she yelled. "Don't you dare say any more! The Titans are not freaks!"
"They're probably droids in disguise!" Mars shot back. "Just look at them! They look like droids!"
"They're not droids!" Moon yelled out angrily. "I'm never going back to you, not after what you did to me!" Without another word, the blonde turned and ran out of the room through another doorway, moving so fast that Raven was surprised. Before anyone could react, the princess had left the room, not even the ends of her long pigtails in sight anymore.
"You people are pitiful," Raven growled, crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't understand why she even liked you in the first place. "I shouldn't have expected much more from traitors, though." Her violet eyes narrowed, and she could physically feel them turn into four red slits as the group took a step back, shocked expressions on their faces. "I'd consider a crime against a princess to be treason, and all of you are certainly guilty of doing so."
Ignoring the looks on their faces at her cold declaration, the sorceress forced her eyes back to normal as she headed after the blonde.
Starfire frowned deeply at the Senshi. The princess failed to understand the actual concept of why exactly they were protesting the events that were scheduled to take place. According to Sailor Pluto, anyway, everything that happened had a purpose, yes? At least, that was what she had managed to grasp from the already complex concept.
The orange-skinned alien touched down onto the cracked crystal floor, large green eyes intently staring as Raven left the room, chasing after Sailor Moon with her blue cloak fluttering behind her. With a frown, the red-headed princess recalled the way her friend had rebuked the other group, and the word she had used.
Treason.
Yes, what they had done was most likely treason. After her sister, Komand'r, had betrayed her twice, the older of the duo had been permanently banished from their home and exiled by her order. Certainly, it had stung, but the alien princess supposed she had done the right thing. Even if she hadn't, Blackfire would have been sent away by Galfore at the very best and publicly — and very messily, might she add — decapitated in front of the whole kingdom. Not a fate that she wished for her sister to experience, even for as bad a sister as Komand'r had been to her.
"You people are unbelievable!" Robin snapped at them, bringing out his staff and expanding the steel pole to its full length. The masked boy slammed the end of his blunted weapon onto the floor, creating another minor crack.
Starfire tuned out the rest of her leader's speech as she frowned, thinking back on what they had said. Freaks, they had called them. There was a similar word in her native tongue, though as did most of her language's words, it translated more towards 'weakling'. The alien's green eyes glowed in mild anger at being called that and the red-haired princess walked up to stand with the rest of her friends. "These people are not very agreeable," she noted with a frown.
"Not very agreeable?" Beast Boy made a strange face as he turned back into his human form. The green-skinned changeling shook his head as he stood i between her and the even taller Cyborg. "That's kind of an understatement, Star."
"Yeesh, BB. 'Kind of' is already an understatement." The half-man, half-machine snorted as he crossed his arms over his metal chest.
Robin finished up his harsh rebuking of the Senshi and stormed over, fuming as he retracted his staff. "Those people are complete hypocrites," he ground out, and even under his mask, Starfire could see the subtle twitch in his face. "We need to go and look for Sailor Moon and Raven."
"Already on it!" Sailor Uranus called from the corridor where the two members of the Titans had left through. Sailor Uranus was standing with Sailor Neptune, who was looking through the corridor. "They went through here —"
A loud scream suddenly pierced through the air, and the hologram of the masked king suddenly reappeared. "What happened?" he demanded.
Starfire shot into the air. "That is Sailor Moon!" she exclaimed. "We must hurry to them! They must be in danger!" The alien quickly started flying towards the direction of the scream. "Quickly!"
All of the Titans quickly dashed off after her, all preparing to fight as they made a frantic sprint towards the outside. "Raven!" Robin yelled, very obviously concerned about their pale-skinned friend.
"Princesses!" Uranus and Neptune echoed in unison as they ran along with the group. Both moved in sync, sprinting in the front of the group, under Starfire, as she flew through the air.
Starfire was sure she heard the other group running after them, but she concentrated on happy thoughts as she sped through the air. Her red hair was blown back behind her as the alien narrowed her green eyes. "Are we at their location yet?" she yelled.
Cyborg checked his arm, his metal feet making large thumps on the crystal floor. "Rae's comm is just outside!" he shouted back. "We're almost there!" The large man turned the sharp corner as the two Senshi sprinted around the turn. The half-machine skidded to an abrupt stop when the groups reached the outside of the palace. "What the... where are they?"
"Raven's cloak!" Beast Boy yelled, changing from a green hawk into his human form as he ran over to some pieces of torn blue fabric and golden shards. "Look!"
The masked leader of the Titans stopped at the green changeling's side, picking up a torn blue scrap. "This is..." He took a close glance at the blue cloth. "Raven's cloak. And those shards are from Sailor Moon's tiara," he realized. The black-haired boy closed his hand into a fist, staring into the air. "What happened here?"
