Chapter 28: Battle For Crystal Tokyo


"Fire Soul!"

Esmeraude used her fan to stop Sailor Mars' attack, then sent an attack barreling at her. Sailor Mars narrowly dodged and tried a kick at her head. Esmeraude dodged but didn't see Sailor Jupiter charging at her from behind until it was too late.

"Lightning Tackle!" Sailor Jupiter grinned as Esmeraude was sent flying over Sailor Mars' head. "Gotcha."

"Shabon Spray Freezing!"

"Crescent Beam Shower!"

Esmeraude screamed as she was hit. She slowly stood up and glared at the Senshi "Okay, so you want to play rough... Let's see how you handle this." She aimed her hand to one side and a portal opened. a dozen Drones appeared.

"Oops..." Sailor Mars muttered.

"So it's all up to skill now..." Sailor Mercury noted.

"Let's do it." Sailor Mars said.

"Brawl!" Sailor Jupiter shouted and dashed into the crowd of Drones. She managed to kick a few of them but was soon flung back to where the others were by an energy blast. "Oww... They're no pushovers..."

Esmeraude chuckled, "Of course they aren't... these are some of our best Drones."

"A pity we'll trash them..." Sailor Venus snapped.

"Just try..." Esmeraude teased with a grin.


"Where am I?" Sailor Moon muttered looking around as she woke up. She was in a large room, the walls, floor and ceiling were made of some sort of black crystal.

"This is my Crystal Tokyo base." Demando said from behind her.

"You... What have you done to Chibi-Usa?" Sailor Moon asked furiously.

"I haven't done anything to her." Demando noted. "You need not worry about her, I have all I wanted now." he added as his eyes glowed red.

"What do you mean?" Sailor Moon asked. Suddenly she felt weird. Her eyes glazed over and she stood there in a trance.

"You'll be my Queen." Demando said and walked closer to her. "As it was meant to be."

Moon stood still as Demando walked towards her, but then she whispere0d, "Mamo-chan..." and her eyes went back to normal.

"What?" Demando stammered. "Impossible!"

Sailor Moon looked at him, "I only love Mamo-chan, and you can't change that. Even if you try to control my mind, but I'll never love you. "

"We shall see..." Demando said and his eyes glowed red again.

Sailor Moon's eyes glazed over and he moved to kiss her. As he was about to do it, however, Sailor Moon whispered 'Mamo-chan' again, and tears formed in her eyes.

Demando moved away and frowned, "I don't get it... why can't I make you mine?"

"It is her mind you can control, but not her heart." Endymion said, standing on the window sill.

"You!" Demando shouted and sent an energy blast barreling at Terran Prince, who leapt out of the way.

Endymion produced his sword, "Let her go, or else..."

Demando grinned, "Just try..."

Sailor Moon snapped out of her trance, and looked at the two as Demando produced a crystal sword. She then did something even she wasn't expecting. She leapt at Demando from behind and literally walked over him sending him crashing to the ground. "Now how will we get out of here?" She asked Endymion.

Endymion shrugged, "Well, we're like 20 storeys high..."

"Jumping down is not an option, then..." Sailor Moon noted.

Demando stood up and laughed, "You have nowhere to run."

"Don't bet on it." Endymion snapped. He grabbed Sailor Moon's arm and leapt out the window.

"WHAT?" Demando shouted. He went to look out the window. "Nothing can survive a fall like that..." He said to himself.

"WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Sailor Moon shrieked as she fell.

Endymion produced one of his roses and grinned, "Don't worry... Rose Hold!" he shot the rose to the ground, it got stuck on it and then started growing. Both Sailor Moon and Endymion landed on the rose, slowing their fall to a stop. "See?"

"You could have warned me before!" Sailor Moon snapped, then smiled. "But thanks for rescuing me."

"The others are still fighting Rubeus and Esmeraude." Endymion noted.

"They may need our help. Let's go!" Sailor Moon said and took off running towards the Crystal Palace. Endymion followed suit.


"I'll destroy you!" Rubeus shouted and charged at Kunzite.

"Heh..." Kunzite grinned and waited until Rubeus was close to him, then summoned his power. "Light Shield!"

"Freeze Brid!" Tanzanite shot his attack from behind Rubeus just as he slammed on the shield, making him crash on it again. "Walk into the light, brother..." he joked.

"Ehhh..." Rubeus muttered and stood up. "I'll kill you first, then!" He leapt at Tanzanite feet-first.

"You look tired." Nephrite noted, reaching for his sword. He swung his sword up and sliced Rubeus' feet while ducking, and Rubeus went crashing to the ground behind him "You should take a nap. Dig Volt!"

Rubeus was slammed into one of the palace's walls and fell to the ground unconscious. "Now let's get that witch..." Kunzite muttered. Both Nephrite and Tanzanite nodded.

"Burning Mandala!"

"Lightning Tackle!"

"Crescent Storm!"

"Snow Spray!"

The attacks blasted the few drones that were left into pieces. The Senshi all turned and saw Esmeraude chuckling. "What's she chuckling at?" Sailor Jupiter muttered.

"Hehehe... you all are tired from all that fighting, and that's just going to make things easier for me." Esmeraude explained.

"Don't bet on it!"

Esmeraude turned around just in time to see the three Shitennou jumping towards her. Kunzite sliced her left arm, while Nephrite sliced her chest with one sword and her right leg with the other. "Touche!" Kunzite said.

"Now, let's get her!" Sailor Jupiter shouted. The Senshi all charged at Esmeraude.


"Burning Mandala!"

"Freeze Brid!"

"Ice Shield!"

The two attacks hit Esmeraude, causing her to crash into the thick ice shield. She fell to one knee and winced.

"Last chance to get out of here, Esmeraude." Sailor Mars warned.

"She's not defeated yet." Wiseman's deep hissing voice said.

"Who's that?" Sailor Mars asked looking around.

"That's none of your business." Wiseman's voice snapped. "Esmeraude, your power is not enough to defeat the Senshi... so I'll give you some of my own power."

Esmeraude's body started cracking with dark energy, and she screamed in pain. As the energy melted into her body, she started laughing evilly. Her eyes were glowing red, and her bruises had been healed. His hair had turned a darker shade of gray, and her skin was also darker. "YES! Now I'll get you all, Senshi!" she shouted.

"Do not fail me, Esmeraude." Wiseman's voice warned.

Esmeraude glared at the Senshi, "Okay, who wants to be the first to die? DIE!" she shouted, unleashing a wave of energy that blasted all the Senshi away.

"That hurts..." Sailor Venus muttered.

"Have any plans?" Sailor Mars asked Sailor Mercury.

"Are we late?" Sailor Moon asked as she and Endymion came dashing towards them.

"Nah, we were just starting." Tanzanite said. "Okay, let's show her what our armors can do!"

"Genbu Armor..."

"Seiryu Armor..."

"Byakko Armor..."

"Ouryu Armor..."

"Activate!" The four Terran warriors summoned their armors and faced Esmeraude.

"Heh... This will be fun..." Esmeraude mused then her body cracked with energy again.

"What's she doing?" Sailor Moon asked.

"Powering up, obviously, Meatball Head."Sailor Mars snapped.

"So this will be a hard battle." Sailor Mercury frowned, as the graphs on her computer screen spiked.

"What else is new?" Sailor Mars asked with a shrug.

"Where's Rubeus?" Sailor Jupiter asked, noticing the redhead was nowhere around.

"We'll take care of him later." Sailor Moon noted. "I usually don't like the direct approach, but I'll make an exception." She charged at Esmeraude while summoning her power. The rest of the Senshi team followed suit.


Sailor Mars slammed on the palace's wall and winced. Esmeraude was too strong, she had stopped all of their attacks, and the counter-attack had been strong enough to knock them all away. She stood up grimacing at the pain and glared at Esmeraude. The rest of the Senshi also stood up despite the pain they all were feeling.

"So, you won't give up..." Esmeraude said with a grin.

"Never." Sailor Moon snapped.

Sailor Mercury noticed Tanzanite was trying to inch closer to Esmeraude from behind. That could work... but we have to keep her distracted... She thought. "You're so mighty, but I don't think you could blast through my shield, you know."

Esmeraude chuckled, "Heh... that would be not worth the effort."

"Prism Ice Shield!"

"Oh please..." Esmeraude muttered and sent an energy blast at the shield. The attack cracked the shield and went through, Sailor Mercury dropped to the ground barely dodging it. Esmeraude then turned around and punched Tanzanite who had been about to stab her from behind. "You really thought you could sneak up on me?" she asked and chuckled evilly.

Tanzanite fell to the ground and winced. That girl had a hell of a jab. He stood up and shrugged, "Well, I see this plan didn't work... so I'll just have to switch to plan B."

"Plan B... and what is that about?" Esmeraude asked.

"Keeping you distracted long enough so the others will recover." Tanzanite explained and leapt at her. Esmeraude blasted him away and he rolled on the ground before grunting and falling unconscious.

"Selene Laser!"

Esmeraude was taken off-guard by the attack. She fell to one knee, but rose and turned to Sailor Moon. "Heh... so the princess wants to fight..."

"You've hurt my friends, I cannot forgive you. I'll destroy you myself if I have to." Sailor Moon snapped.

"Heh..." Esmeraude shrugged and sent an energy blast at Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon simply moved out of the way. "What?"

Sailor Mercury glanced at Sailor Moon then gasped, "Her power went up somehow."

"Is that possible?" Sailor Mars asked.

"Her anger may be rising her power." Nephrite noted.

"Well, that's good and all, but can she defeat Esmeraude?" Sailor Venus asked.

"Let's hope she can." Sailor Mercury said.

Esmeraude sent another blast of energy at Sailor Moon, but she literally stepped aside to dodge it. "Stop doing that!" Esmeraude shouted angrily.

"As you wish... Selene... LASER!" She shot a massive energy blast at Esmeraude, the attack was so fast that she couldn't dodge in time. Esmeraude slammed on a wall and fell to one knee. "Give up, Esmeraude."

"I... won't... lose!" Esmeraude shouted and charged at Sailor Moon, punching her straight in the gut, and knocking her to the ground. "Now you die!" Esmeraude shouted and charged up to blast Sailor Moon. Suddenly, a blur hissed by her side. She gasped and looked down at her chest, blood was flowing out of a deep wound. She looked to the side and her eyes widened.

"I can't let you hurt her." Endymion said as he stood there, his sword dripping blood. Esmeraude fell to the ground and didn't move.

"Is she...?" Sailor Moon asked as she stood up.

Sailor Mercury checked on Esmeraude and sighed, "Yes..." She then went to check on Tanzanite, "Hey, are you okay?"

Tanzanite woke up and rose from the ground, clutching his head, "I'll be fine... in a few years." He muttered.

Sailor Pluto appeared in front of the group. "Your battle is still not over. The rest of the Dark Moon family went back to the past. You will have to travel back to your time and protect Tokyo."

"Oh, that's just great..." Sailor Mars muttered. She then rose an eyebrow "Hey, where's Chibi-Usa?"

Sailor Moon sighed "I don't know... I saw a cloaked man vanish along with her... and then Demando showed up and captured me."

"Cloaked man?" Endymion asked.

"The Wiseman." Sailor Pluto said. "It's one of Demando's minions, a very dangerous one."

"Then we must find him and get Chibi-Usa back." Sailor Moon declared.

"He'll surely be in the past along with the others." Sailor Pluto noted.

"Well, then we'll go back and fight them." Sailor Moon looked at the rest.
