SailorStar9: Chapter 27 is up, this is Chapter 28 (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 28: Coming of the Silence, Part 1
"I sense danger." Mars looked up.
Teruru and Viluy materialized into the Temple "This place looks nice. A pity we'll have to trash it," Viluy commented.
"Get out of here now, or you'll be hurt," Seiji warned.
"Like you can do a thing against us," Viluy snapped. "You've just fought a battle versus the strongest witches and Moon, so you're too tired to fight us."
"That may be right. But this Temple's not unprotected," Mars said and activated the anti-evil wards she placed all around the walls.
"What the heck?" Teruru muttered as a few dozen paper scrolls shot towards them, the paralyzing papers stunning the Witch and knocking her back and into one of the walls. Viluy, however, shrugged the attack off.
"No kidding, she's tough," Jupiter muttered.
"So, it's that all you've got?" Viluy asked.
"As a matter of fact, yes," Mars said with a shrug.
"Then we'll get what we came here for." Viluy said and looked at the two male warriors. "Their crystals."
"We won't let you get it," Venus said.
"Earth Buster!"
"Dark Buster!"
A wave of darkness ripped through the Temple hall and hit the Senshi, knocking them all out. Teruru's attack had been focused at Seiji and Hyoga, and as they were hit, their heart crystals came flying out and Viluy grabbed them. Both boys fainted and their armours faded out.
"Mission complete," Viluy said.
"Give me... those." Jupiter growled, staggering up.
Viluy smirked "Oh please... There's nothing you can do to stop us."
Jupiter said nothing, instead she summoned her axe and glared at them.
"So, what are you going to do, Thundergirl?" Teruru said.
"Jupiter Cosmic Power!"
"No way..." Teruru muttered.
Jupiter's axe had also taken on its real form, a silvery, large metal axe. "Rolling Thunder!" a disc made of pure electricity shot towards the witches. . Viluy teleported away, but Teruru wasn't fast enough. She was hit dead on by the attack and fell to her knees, blood soaking her suit. "You know, you girls really get in my nerves. I should finish you off, but you'll bleed to death anyways."
"Damn... You..." Teruru said.
Jupiter shrugged and turned to check on the others. Teruru saw her chance and summoned her attack. "Earth Buster!"
"Firewall!"
Teruru gasped as her attack was deflected by the flame shield. She looked at Mars who was on her knees right behind Jupiter, and then at her.
"Sorry, you lose," Jupiter said. Teruru fell face-first on the ground and started vanishing. The Thunder Senshi looked at Mars and smiled.
Mercury looked at Seiji and Hyoga's limp forms with her visor. "They're still alive. But without the crystals, they'll die soon."
The rest of the group staggered up as Pluto came in with a new Senshi in tow.
"I can keep them alive." The Senshi of Death stated. "But I'll have to be fully focused on them."
Venus nodded, "Do that, I'll go pay our enemies a visit."
"Wait," Mercury said. "We should not go there without knowing what we'll be facing."
"You stay here and make plans, in the meantime I'll go save my boyfriend." Venus retorted.
"For once, I agree with her," Mars said.
"Okay team, let's go." Venus took the lead said.
"Where are Neptune and Uranus?" Jupiter asked.
"No time to worry about that now," Mars said.
Moon looked at the three remaining witches. "The Senshi are coming. I need only one more thing before I can bring our master to this world. The Talismans' power."
"What do you..."
"... Want us to do?" The twins asked.
"Cyprine, Puchirol, go and attack the Senshi. Viluy, stay here, I can sense Uranus and Neptune are near the base as well. I will stay here and get Mercury."
The others nodded and Moon laughed, "Soon... This world will be shrouded in darkness. And our race will be its new owner."
"How original," Mars muttered, the group noticing Mugen Gakuen being surrounded by a black energy barrier.
"This barrier is way stronger than anything I've seen before," Mercury said as she analysed it with her visor. "I don't think our attacks will be enough to break it down."
"What about digging under it?" Mars asked.
Mercury shook her head. "The barrier is a perfect sphere. There's no way in."
"Just great." Mars muttered.
Three figures materialized in mid-air in front of the barrier. The twins and Moon. "And it just got better," Jupiter muttered.
"It's a good thing you decided to come, Senshi. You've brought the last piece of the puzzle right into our hands." Moon said.
"What do you mean?" Venus asked.
"You'll find out soon enough," Moon said. She swiftly phased out and reappeared right besides Mercury, then zapped her out cold and vanished along with her.
"What the... She got Mercury!" Mars said.
"Damn... We must help her," Jupiter said.
"You're the ones..."
"... That need help," the twins said and floated down to the ground.
"I'll make you stop talking like that with my own hands," Mars snapped and charged at them.
"There's no way to get inside," Uranus said.
"Now what?" Neptune asked.
"Now I'll help you."
Both Senshi turned and saw Pluto standing there, looking at the barrier.
"Can you break this barrier down?" Uranus asked.
"No," Pluto said, "but I can open a hole in it. You'll only have a few seconds to enter, tough."
"Go ahead," Uranus said.
Pluto nodded "Chronos Typhoon!"
Pluto's attack opened a hole in the barrier. Uranus and Neptune dashed in before it closed.
"I can't help you past this point," Pluto said and vanished.
Uranus shrugged then turned to Neptune. "Let's pay our old school a visit."
After a bit of exploring, Uranus and Neptune found the entrance to the witches' lair. They were now walking through a corridor. "Good to see their defences are all out there," Uranus commented.
Viluy appeared right in front of them and smirked. "Welcome, Senshi."
"I talked too soon," Uranus muttered.
"Dark Buster!"
The two Senshi dodged and charged at Viluy.
"Twin Buster!"
The Senshi leapt out of the way of the attack. "You know, that attack is not any use if you can't hit us," Mars teased.
"We know that, but..."
"... You can't hit us either."
"Flaming Anger!"
The twins swung their staves at the attack and it was absorbed by them.
"We need a plan," Jupiter muttered.
"Dark Buster!"
Neptune leapt aside dodging the attack. Uranus tried to kick Viluy but she blocked the kick and punched her away.
"Okay, let's try again..." Uranus muttered and dashed at Viluy.
Moon looked at Ami lying on the floor by her side and smiled coldly. "Now that I have her Parbaiba Crystal, nothing can stop us."
"Uh oh..." Venus said.
"What's wrong?" Jupiter asked.
"That," Venus said pointing at the building behind the barrier.
"Uh oh..." Mars muttered.
"What are those things?" Jupiter asked looking at the horde of shapeless creatures pouring out of the building.
"Daimons," Venus said. "They have no shape because they have not fused with anything."
"How can we fight them and the twins?" Jupiter asked.
"Don't worry, they..."
"... Won't fight you," the twins said.
The horde of Daimons raced by and headed for the city. "They're going to attack the city!" Mars said.
Venus went into leader-mode, "We cannot worry about these creatures now. We must defeat these two and rescue Ami."
The twins chuckled "Dream..."
"...On."
