SailorStar9: This is Chapter 24 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 nothing, except for the plot bunny.

Chapter 24: Attack of the Shadow Youma

"I sense an evil surge." Michiru's head shot up. "The Generals are back."

"Geez..." Hotaru muttered. "All of them?"

Michiru shook her head, "Only Cardite, but I sense another entity. I'll call Mercury, but the three of us are quite near them."

Haruka frowned as an explosion shook the area "I'd say they're really close by..." she muttered.

"Okay, we'll keep them busy." Hotaru said "But we'll need help to defeat them."

A few seconds later, the three Senshi were standing behind a car and looking at the youma scaring people off as usual.

"This is good... a youma stronger than all of us together, and a General." Uranus muttered.

"Let's not keep them waiting." Neptune suggested.

"I don't mind getting trashed around, but they are too many." Saturn noted.

"Or maybe we can attack right now, since they've just spotted us." Neptune noted, pointing to the youma that were coming their way.

"Just two three Senshi… They will be our first victims." Rigale said.

"Get them!" Cardite ordered.

"Tsunami Wave!"

The attack sent the youma flying back. Cardite frowned "But why? The Senshi can't beat the Shadow Youma!"

"We'll defeat you, Cardite." Uranus declared.

"I don't think so." Cardite said.

"You don't think, period." Mercury snapped.

"Uhhh... Shadow Youma, destroy them!"

"Hail Snare!"

"World Shaking!"

The ice net expanded, entangling the youma, and the energy sphere blasted the youma back. Cardite looked around and frowned "Neat trick, but it's not enough."

Rigale slashed at the Ice Net, tearing it apart. "Your weapons will be of no use against us." He said.

"That could mean troubles..." Mercury noted.

"Maelstrom Surge!"

"Deep Ocean Pressure!"

"Grim Edge!"

"Ice Wyvern!"

Cardite gasped as the Shadow Youma were sent crashing to the ground. "Uh oh..."

"You're next." Uranus growled, walking towards her.

"I'm sorry, but we'll have to end this battle later." Cardite said. She produced a blank card, and the Shadow Youma went back into it. "See ya!" She said before vanishing.

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