Sunlight Halation: Hmm, perhaps. The plant thing came from Chaos, sure, but since she's had a long time to use those powers, it's reasonable. Who knows? If she survives the battle, she might even get her own Senshi powers over the moon of Callisto and become her own Senshi. Spoilers? Maybe.
Enjoy the story.
Eternal Sailor Jupiter opened her green eyes after her transformation ended, finding herself back in the empty field she had been in when she had first heard Zeus in her head. Her white-gloved hand closing into a fist, the Senshi of Jupiter closed her eyes and exhaled slowly, recalling her father's words. Bright sparks of electricity jumped from the tips of her fingers and surrounded her fists with the crackling energy source, and she abruptly spun on her knee-high white heels to throw the bolts of lightning at the already fried stump.
Emerald-tinged electricity blasted towards the charcoal stump in jagged sparks, impacting with a violent burst of energy, ejecting shards of pieces of burnt wood around where the stump used to be. A jade-coloured flame burst out among the remains that had fallen into a heap. Black pieces of charcoal were scattered on the green grass, and the Senshi smiled to herself, walking over to the flames to put out the small blaze before it grew too big to handle.
The sole of her white boots stepped down on the fire, snuffing it out just as Jupiter's communicator rang out loudly, alerting her to a potential crisis with the other Senshi of the Solar System. The brunette answered the call, confidence from her recent transformation bleeding over to her voice. "Ami-chan, what's the crisis?" she asked boldly, tossing her brunette curls over her shoulder. Her heart raced slightly in anticipation what was possibly an upcoming battle, a fight against those people who claimed to have connections with the Senshi, and a fight to protect the earth, just like Usagi would have wanted. "I just got my crystal, so I'm ready for battle!"
"Mako-chan, you're... this is great!" Minako could be heard cheering in the background. "Oh, hold on — Love Shower Burst!" A bright flash of orange light could be seen, and a snarl could be heard. "Where are you?" There was a shout and the blonde launched into a battle cry, chaining attack names together before finishing up with an old-school shout of 'Sailor Kick!'.
It brought a smile to the green-eyed brunette's lips in the memory of the old times with Usagi. She shook her head, quickly clearing her mind of those thoughts — they wouldn't be useful right now. "I'm just outside the city," she told them, the Senshi straightening up and removing her white boot from the charcoal remains. "Where are you guys? I'll rush over right now!" she declared boisterously. "Where are the other Senshi?"
"Uranus, Neptune and Cosmos are busy with another attack in the park," Ami reported in a tone what was ridiculously calm for the situation. "We are near the school — closest path should be through the road by the mall."
"Got it," Jupiter said. "Hang on, guys, I'll be right there!" She'd protect their home... for Usagi!
Tuxedo Kamen coughed from the smoke as the man drew up his near indestructible cape over his lower face, squinting through his domino mask as he tried to make out shapes in the grey plumes of smoke that filled his vision. Just his luck to run into a monster attack near his college that involved a beast that spat purple flames out of its mouth, but he could hold his own. He whipped out his cane, twirling it around in a circular motion to act like a makeshift fan and clear the path for him.
As the smoke cleared, he could see the small, fox-like shape of the creature that was trying to roast the building. It was barely bigger than half of his forearm, but its body was covered entirely in mounting flames of pink and orange, and like the mythological kitsune, it had nine long tails of flame, each a different colour, that it waved in the air innocently, like they were some sort of flag. The creature tipped its head back and gave a distorted cry, lurching forward with a tongue of bright purple fire.
The reincarnated prince of Earth wished he had power over fire, or that he could at least call the Shinto priestess of the Guardian Senshi over to help, but for now, he would be stuck with defeating the monster on his own. With a battle cry, he had three blood red roses between his gloved fingers, and in a spin that resembled a dance step, he flung the steel-tipped flora at the fire creature, inside if it would harm the beast. Nothing had been effective so far, so the man could only hope.
Just as he had feared, the scorching temperatures did not just melt the steel, it evaporated the metal into a thin grey mist that soon vanished into the flames. The organic flower just burned away in the heat, ashes scattering on the ground as the wind helped the flames to grow larger and stronger. At the rate it was going, the fire would soon manage to reach a nearby store, and from there, it would raze down the entire block. If they were unlucky, it might even spread until the college building.
To himself, Chiba Mamoru wished that he could control water.
The man jumped out of the way of a plume of brightly-coloured flame, his cape flapping in the wind and yet still miraculously not catching on fire. Blue eyes searched the small, cute-looking beast for a weakness, but the only thing that came to mind was spraying it with an extinguisher. Still, his options were limited. He didn't know if the fire would burn more or less with water and carbon dioxide, and leaving it up to chance would be disastrous.
"Mamoru-kun!" Makoto called, and a quick glance around would show the fully-transforned Senshi of Jupiter standing there, decked out in an upgraded outfit that was coloured green, pink, and white. "What the heck is that thing?" the boisterous Senshi asked, lightning dancing up and down her gloved arms.
"Fight now, explain later," Tuxedo Kamen panted, twisting around to avoid another fire blast. "Can you try something to stop that fox? I know fire isn't in your realm of influence, but can you try something?" The masked man was forced to duck another bright purple plume of flame and a swipe from one of the fox's nine tails. "It melted straight through my roses and evaporated steel. I'm not sure if my cane could stand up to the heat even if it doesn't burn up or melt, and I don't think I can take the heat close up to the thing. Rei-chan could, but my body's not built for that."
"I was born and raised to channel lightning," Jupiter said confidently. "A little fire won't hurt too much, but call Rei-chan on my communicator anyway. We can switch places so she can deal with her own element if it gets out of hand." Disentangling the white wristwatch from over her glove, she tossed it to the masked man, and the brunette rubbed her hands together, and a grin spread on her face, brimming with confidnce. "Alright!" she shouted to herself. "Let's see what I can do! Jupiter Rose Cyclone!"
Sparkling rose and green energy built up in the palm of her white-gloved hands, and it swirled around with the force of a whirlwind. The Senshi of Thunder raised both hands high above her head and she brought the attack down into the flames around her target in showers of pink petals and leaves. As the energy attack hit the purple flames, they died down in a burst of glittering sparkles. After the fires all around were finally put out by the flower storm, the brunette snapped her fingers and turned towards the nine-tailed fox.
The reincarnated prince of Earth quickly called the Senshi of Mars on the green wristwatch communicator. "There's been a situation," he said once the connection was established, "send Rei-chan over to my university. I'm not sure if Jupiter can deal with fire for too long." The man had confidence in the brunette, sure, but fire wasn't within her realm of influence, and he didn't want to risk anything. Receiving an affirmative response from Minako, who had answered the call, he disconnected the wristwatch and glanced back at the battle."Mako-chan, I called Rei-chan over!" Tuxedo Kamen shouted. "Be careful, though! I can't help you here!"
"I've got it under control!" the Amazonian Senshi said confidently. "You'd better head over to our high school to help the girls!" Lightning sparked at her fingertips and she unleashed her old thunder attacks at the fox, trying to see how far she could take it before she would try her new powers out to defeat the creature. The blue lightning struck out and impacted the fox, which unleashed a violent shriek and struck at her with two of the nine fiery tails.
Where did those creatures even come from? Obviously, from those people that had tried to attack the Senshi, but how had they been created? They were all different, no similarities between them, which likely meant that they were monsters that were created by different people. This creature was a fire monster, which meant it was likely that the armoured woman who had spoken to Rei that day was involved with this one. He inwardly wondered if the others were also facing fire monsters or if the monsters they were fighting were different.
"Are you sure?" the tuxedo-clad man asked, his cane in hand as he tried to see if there was any way he could lend the green-clad soldier a helping hand. "Or should I wait until Sailor Mars reaches here?" No, that was a stupid thing to say, the man realized quickly. There was no way that he could really help her out, not with his issue with the heat. Still, he stood his ground, keeping an eye out for the soldier of fire and passion to arrive.
He'd help her as best as he could, Tuxedo Kamen decided. It was the only right thing to do.
"Eye of the Storm!" Eternal Sailor Uranus shouted out, raising her sword into the air, letting the mid-morning light gleam off the silver blade. "Turbulence!" Twirling the blade around her gloved hands, she struck quickly and efficiently, tearing into the air around her to create the cyclone swarm of her attacks. The sandy blonde grunted as she leaped back from the vine creature that was rampaging in the park, wiping her brow of the sweat that had beaded there. "Michi-chan!" she shouted out, seeing the vine monster lash out with thorned branches at the aquamarine-haired woman.
Cosmos' staff struck down onto the monster, and she intoned with a loud cry, "Luminous Barrier!" The dome of light warded off the attack effectively, and though the creature attempted to break through the defensive shield, it quickly gave up. The silver-haired girl frowned, and raised her staff into the air. As silver lights drew an atlas behind her, the Senshi shouted over to the two women on the battlefield,"Where is Setsuna-chan? This would be far easier if she could aid us!"
Neptune took a deep inhale of air, then raised her mirror to attack. "Tidal Burst!" she shouted out, unleashing the wave of water onto the monster. "I'm not sure, Cosmos!" she shouted back. "She said she'd be here soon, but she had some work to do, and I'm not sure if she should be in a fight if she's supposed to be taking care of two young children!"
"Wait, she's babysitting?" Uranus asked incredulously. "What for? Doesn't she have to take care of the Gates?" The Soldier of the Sky used her sword to rend through a vine that was lashed out at her, cleaving cleanly through it.
"She said she needed to take care of two 'little rascals'," Neptune explained, taking a step back from the battle to examine the situation. "And they sounded like two young children."
The sandy blonde Senshi grunted a curse to herself, twirling her blade in her hands. "Let's just hang on for as long as we can!" she shouted. "If we have to, we'll contact Setsuna. Let's go!" she ordered. Raising her sword in the air again, she shouted, "Space Sword Blaster!"
Neptune nodded. "Deep Submerge!"
"Starburst Maxima!" Cosmos shouted.
"Dead Scream!"
