Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon. However, I do own the complete collection of Sailor Moon manga, and anime along with the original henshin stick that Sailor Moon herself used and have the limited edition super rare one of a kind Wing Zero action figure with attachable gun and a life size poster of Heero. I have been named "Otakon boy" by Tokyo Pop magazine. I also have no friends…someone…anyone…kill me.
Chapter 25
Sailor Mars breathed heavily from exhaustion. They had been fighting for over an hour, and still this opponent could not even be touched. Stumbling across the field, vision blurry, Sailor Mars's body finally gave out. "It…it's over…" she gasped as she collapsed on the ground.
Sailor Venus who had been lying on the ground defeated could barely speak. "Our enemy is just…far too strong…"
"Mars! Venus!" Sailor Jupiter called out to her allies. "Damn you!" she screamed rushing across the battlefield at the opponent. Sailor Jupiter unleashed a desperate last flurry of punches and kicks. However, it was no use. No one of her punches could land. Everything was either being blocked or dodged.
"Even with all your powers, you still don't know how to fight." Her opponent seemed to mock.
"Shut up!" Jupiter gasped still trying desperately to hit her adversary.
"You attack has flaws. Everything is self taught." He stated as he dodged her fist and swept Jupiter's legs out from under her.
Jupiter lay on the ground completely beaten. "It's no good, I can't win."
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" A voice rang out. The water attack streamed towards the opponent, who quickly jumped away and dodged the attack. "No!" Mercury cried out seeing her last attack had failed. "I…I can't do it. He's too fast…"
"Sailor Moon…" Venus gasped.
"It's up to you…" Mars whispered.
"Everyone!" Sailor Moon cried out, eyes full of fear, knowing that she was the only one. Her warrior spirit once again began to take control. The same motivation that allowed her to beat Beryl and the Death Phantom soon began to take over her body. A determined look swept over Sailor Moon's face as she rose to face her enemy…who had disappeared from the last spot she had last seen. "Huh?" Sailor Moon asked suddenly confused. "Where did he go?" As soon as those words were spoken, a hand suddenly darted out and before Sailor Moon even knew what was going on, her spiral moon rod had been snatched right out of her hands.
"What the?" Sailor Moon gasped and turned around to see her adversary had taken her weapon and was currently holding the end of it to her throat not unlike a fencer who had just bested his opponent.
"Yield." Her defeater spoke.
Sailor Moon was shocked, yet now there was truly nothing she could do. "I…I give up. You win."
The winner of the battle dropped the rod to the ground and moved himself in front of the fallen senshi who were currently trying to catch their breaths. "That was pathetic." The adversary spoke.
Sailor Venus suddenly got infuriated. "Shut up Heero! You don't fight fair!"
"Yeah," Mars agreed, "unlike you we haven't had some kind of freak training throughout our whole lives! We've only been doing this for a little over a year."
"That may be true," Heero retorted. "but then again, I can't shoot fire out of my hands so we can call it an even battle."
Quatre, who had been watching the whole display nearby, shuddered. He knew the damage that Heero could do with only his instincts and training. He didn't even want to imagine what Heero could do to an enemy base if he were to receive powers like that. Then again, burning people didn't seem like Heero's style. Quatre chuckled to himself imagining Heero jumping out of a corner screaming "Heero Flare!" and sending a ball of fire towards a startled enemy soldier.
"I find it hard to believe, that you were able to protect this city, much less the world up until this time." Heero told the girls once again.
"Hey! We've done fine so far without you!" Sailor Moon shouted.
"Yeah! I'd like to see you take on the Death Phantom! Pure karate moves wouldn't have beaten him alone!" Venus yelled.
Heero looked at the blonde quizzically. "I have no clue what you are talking about, but if my abilities alone couldn't have beaten your enemies then I would have called my Gundam if it were a serious threat."
"That's not fair!"
"You have your powers, I have my Gundam, which I may add, I am not even using so it is fair. Or, perhaps you would like me to get my Gundam and we can see how you would stand against it?"
"No way! To hell with that!" Sailor Venus cursed and pulled some grass out of the ground in frustration.
"Then quit complaining, all of you have incredible gifts that people would kill to receive, yet it seems you don't even know how to use it right. Think to yourself what it would have been like if I fought back today."
The Sailor Senshi all suddenly realized how badly Heero beat them. The perfect soldier was only dodging and blocking, if he were an enemy…then they would have been…. "I see your point Heero." Sailor Mercury told him, "Please tell us what we should do."
"First, all of you transform into your normal selves." The soldiers looked at each other confused, but did what Heero suggested. Shortly, all the girls were back into their civilian clothes. "Good," Heero said. "now give me all your transformation items. Sticks and brooches, anything that has to do with you being a Sailor Soldier." All of the girls suddenly got very worried looks on their faces. They didn't feel right without their transformation pens. They've grown so accustomed to having them, that if they parted with them, they felt naked and vulnerable. Nevertheless they complied with Heero's orders.
"Oh, take this too." Ami said handing Heero her computer.
"Hmm, what's this?" Heero asked looking over the pocket computer.
"It's mine, I use it to find weaknesses and it can analyze things, locate things, all sorts of stuff."
'This is pretty advanced for a world with its current technological level.' Heero thought. 'I'll take a look at this later.' "Okay," Heero said, "now, none of you are getting these back until you are able to subdue me."
The girls nearly went into shock, "WHAT?"
"You all rely way too much on your powers, and thus your basic reflexes have seriously suffered as a result. Therefore, you aren't getting these back until you are able to subdue me in any way you can. Tackle me, corner me, throw rocks at me, tie me up, anything that you can do in your current states to immobilize me."
"That's insane Heero!" Usagi screeched.
"You have to be kidding me! We couldn't even get you when we were transformed, how in the hell do you expect us to touch you much less immobilize you when we're like this?" Rei exclaimed
"Well to make it fair, I won't fight back."
"That won't help!" Yelled Makoto.
"I'm gonna die." Minako cried.
"Wait," Usagi spoke up trying to do anything to stop this new situation. "what about Mamoru, you can train him too!" Usagi knew that the more people they had, the better their chances, plus the fact that Mamoru was a very athletic person.
"I don't need to train him. His reflexes are excellent already as I learned the hard way. Since he basically fights hand to hand, there is no need for me to help him." Heero said remembering his arm.
Ami spoke up. "But Heero, what if someone is attacked, we'll need those to fight off the daimon."
"Well then I suggest you hurry up and get these from me cause you aren't getting them back. Perhaps a little motivation will help you all with this."
Rei stood up. "Why you!" she snarled and rushed Heero as fast as she could. Heero easily avoided Rei, which caused her to trip and fall into a pathetic heap on the ground.
"That's the spirit." Heero said then turned to the other girls. "Now all of you come get me."
Quatre watched amused as the girls tried desperately to get Heero. Each attempt by one girl resulted in failure, which resulted in more frustration and more screaming and yelling out of pure contempt. He never did think that such cheerful, happy, pretty young girls could use such colorful curse words but then again, Heero was not making it easy for them. "Heero you're pretty strict." He mused to himself.
The next day
"Damn you Heero!" Minako yelled out in anger as she lay on the ground after an unsuccessful tackle attempt.
"You weren't even close to me." Heero mocked her.
"AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!"
The next day
"Watch where you're going idiot!" Usagi screamed at Rei after the two girls had an unfortunate run in with each other after Heero avoided both tackles of the girls.
"Don't you talk to me like that! Your hard head hurt me! You drove it right into my sternum!"
"You little…"
Usagi and Rei then had a nice bantering between the two of them while the other three girls looked on in hopelessness.
"We're never going to get our things back." Minako moaned.
"This certainly isn't helping us." Ami spoke downtrodden.
And still the day after
"It's good that they are actually getting someone to seriously train them." Luna said watching the display.
"Yes," Concurred Artemis. "perhaps this will help them become true warriors. It has turned out to be a beneficial thing after all with the two of you being here."
"Still," Began Quatre. "Heero sure is pushing those girls."
"Yes, Usagi has been going straight to bed every night cause she's been so tired. But, I'm sure in the end it'll all be worth it." Luna said as she watched Usagi fall right on her butt, "…hopefully." She added.
And yet the next day
Usagi charged Heero straight on hoping against all hope that she can get him this time. 'I'm going to get him!' Usagi thought. 'He's gonna get it! I'm going to do it, this is it Heero is going down!' Usagi kept repeating that to herself in her mind as she grew closer and closer to Heero. 'I've got him, this is it! I've got you now Heero!' "You're mine Heero!" Usagi yelled as she dove for Heero, who merely sidestepped her causing the poor girl to fly past him. And unfortunately for Usagi, Heero had been standing in front of a large tree.
*CRASH*
Usagi's body rammed right into the tree and she fell right onto the hard ground with a very nasty bump on her head. That last attempt pushed Usagi past her limit. "I hate you Heero!" she screamed as loud as her lungs could muster. "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I HATE YOU!"
Heero spoke calmly, unaffected by Usagi's barrage, "Regardless of your opinion of me, you're still not getting your stuff back until you can subdue me."
Now if that attempt pushed Usagi past her limit, that last comment pushed her way beyond the limit, past all sorts of boundaries that no one knew Usagi had.
"(CENSORED) YOU HEEEEEEERRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Miles away mothers covered their kid's ears, and pastors and priests prayed against the unholyness that was reverberating across Japan. Luna was wide-eyed, "I've never heard Usagi say that before."
"That was the loudest swearing I've ever heard." Said a shocked Artemus.
"Heero…has a unique way with women." Said Quatre.
And yet again the day after
"Well, are you all ready?" Heero asked the girls.
"No more! Please! We can't do it!" Minako begged.
"I don't wanna! Someone kill me now! I don't want to be a senshi if it means having to do this! I'd rather fight the monsters in my civilian clothes and without my powers!" Rei cried.
"I'm not known for relenting. I told you before, you aren't getting your things back until you are able to stop me." Heero said reasserting the objective.
"We haven't even come close." Muttered a downcast Makoto.
"I'll help!" Quipped a high-pitched voice from behind the girls.
Rei was shocked at who was coming their way. "Chibi-Usa?"
"I'll help you all!" Chibi-Usa chirped as reached the group. Of course Usagi protested.
"No way! You'll only get in the way! We aren't going to baby-sit you and you'll just be a liability!" The other girls sweatdropped wondering if it was actually Usagi who needed a baby-sitter after her tirade yesterday.
"Shut up Usagi! I came back to this time to train and that is what you are doing so I am going to train too! I'm a sailor soldier too aren't I!
Usagi was about to speak but was preempted by Makoto. "Just let her help us Usagi, another person would give us a better chance."
"Not that'll matter much." Minako mumbled to herself.
"Grr…fine." Growled Usagi not liking the turn of events.
"Very well then," Heero said. "now, if you are ready then…"
"Wait!" Called out Quatre's as he came over to the group.
"Quatre?" Heero asked.
"Heero, if I may, can I have a word with them privately?"
Heero paused, seeming to deliberate the situation before responding, "Go ahead." And with that, walked away from the group.
"Quatre! Thank God!" Usagi began sputtering, "you're going to help us right? I mean, you are Heero's partner right? That means you can help us and we can finally stop this training from Hell!"
Quatre chuckled. "No sorry, I can't help you. Heero forbade me from physically helping you in this." Usagi's head fell as her hope left her. "However, I did come to give you some advice."
"We'll take anything at this point." Said Makoto. "What is it?"
"Well, I have been watching you for the past several days, and I think I see what is wrong. You still have the mentality of being Sailor Senshi."
"What do you mean?" asked Ami.
"I mean, you need to use your talents outside of your Sailor Senshi abilities. I know you haven't been senshi all your life but you still have amazing talents that you seem to have forgotten that you can use anytime you want regardless if you're a senshi or not. Minako, you're the most agile of the group. This may sound like a lot but I want you to stick with Heero. Don't necessarily try to tackle him all the time, just be sort of bearing down on him. Wherever he goes, you go. If he jumps you jump. If he runs you run with him. You need to use that agility to keep up with him and I know you can do it."
Quatre's words inspired a fire down in Minako, "Right I can do that! Leave it to me!"
"Makoto," Quatre continued. "you have the best fighting experience and your strength is incredible. Use that to your advantage. When Heero is near you, I want you to give him all you got. Don't let up on him."
"I can do that!"
"Ami, you have an unparalleled intellect. You can use that to your advantage. If you are able to study Heero's moves, you'll be able to use that and predict what Heero will do next."
"I'll try!"
"Rei I hear you have incredible instincts. I want you to use that to your advantage and you as well will be able to predict where Heero will be.
"Got it."
"And Usagi…"
"Yes, what about me? What incredible talent to I have that'll bring us to victory?"
"Usagi I want you to…um…use your…errrrr…hmmm. Well Usagi, I guess you can keep doing what you were doing and just try to tackle him.
"WHAT?" Usagi cried.
Rei chortled. "You don't have any other talents, other than being a klutz."
"WAAAHHH, Rei's being mean to me!"
"Hey what about me?" Chibi-Usa spoke up.
Quatre walked over and knelt in front of Chibi-Usa. "You kiddo, need to use your size. It's possible that Heero won't take notice of you and you may be able to take advantage of some things that the older girls may not be able to. Look for a situation in which you can utilize it."
"Right!"
"Okay girls, that is all. I know you can do it. Good luck." Quatre said as he walked away.
Heero noticed Quatre walking away and made his way back over to the girls.
"Well, are you ready now?"
"Lets do it girls!" Usagi cheered.
"YEAH!" They all yelled in unison.

This chapter was really fun to write although I was up very late trying to finish it. I tried my best to put some unique situations in the story and I think it turned out well. Next chapter will be up soon since I've already started on it (for once instead of waiting weeks). Tell me what you think. Until next time!
