Chapter 46: Facing One's Fear
With the allies most of the enemies were down for the count, Shampoo, Sanji, Arashi, Pamoon and Lance had just knocked the last of them, while Sakura, Chopper, Tia and Megumi treated the wounds of those that needed it.
"That was tough…" said Dawn.
"We lucky Akane no get kidnapped" said Shampoo.
"Hey I don't get kidnapped all the time!" yelled Akane.
An odd wind blew as crickets chirped.
"Isn't the punishment for kidnapping you just a fine?" asked Dr. Riddles.
"Yes…" sighed Akane.
Meanwhile with Sailor Ceres and Sea.
"Okay I have to figure out a way to fight her while avoiding water attacks…" thought Sailor Ceres.
"Well, well… P-Chan you made a bad mistake by going up against me." Said Sea, "First off I'm 2nd in Command of the Neo Dark Kingdom! Next up unlike Ranma you really on Brute Strength rather than speed. Then there's off course your weakness."
"So you think you have everything in your advantage is that what your saying?" said Sailor Ceres.
"What do you think P-Chan?" said Sea sending a huge water of water Sailor Ceres who began to dodge the water as best she could.
"Oh man!" thought Ryoga, "This is bad… wait that's it!"
She turned around, "Shi Shi Hokodan!" she yelled sending out the blue orb towards Sea which broke the wave and hit.
"Not bad…" said Sea, "Damn it I forgot to calculate that depression only makes this one stronger… if I try to egg her on then she might get stronger… that's not such a bad idea."
Sea stopped and did the Good Guy pose, "You know what your going to win!" said Sea.
"What are you doing?" asked Sailor Ceres.
"Oh just praising you! After all…" said Sea.
"That's not going to work!" said Sailor Ceres.
Sailor Ceres poked the ground, "Breaking Point!" she yelled.
Part of the ground shattered in a fissure which cased pieces of it to come flying towards Sea.
"You know maybe I should just try to use the water attacks again." said Sea.
The water headed towards Sailor Ceres but this time, the water entered the fissure.
"Damn it…" thought Sea, "Every move I use then it gets turned agaisnt me! Damn it!"
"Well I guess this is goodbye…" said Sea.
"What do you mean?" asked Ryoga.
A bubble surrounded her… and slowly began to fill up with water within a minute
"She's going to drown herself?" thought Sailor Ceres… whether it was pity, sadness or a part of her saying that she was so bad after something made use Shi Shi Hokodan on the bubble popped.
"What the!" yelled Sea who began to cough, "Why did you do that!"
"Do you think killing yourself would help anything?" asked Sailor Ceres.
"Well I'm going to die any ways." said Sea.
"Is it because you failed?" asked Sailor Ceres
Sea glared at Sailor Ceres, "Why else…"
"The Master will…" said Sea.
"But what if Ash wins? Ever think about that?" said Sailor Ceres.
Sea said nothing… "Why should I listen to you…"
"Do you know what it's like being me? I turn into a pig, I have 0 sense of direction, the I like is in love with someone else though she won't admit it and I also turn into a girl to fight evil but I do have some things." said Sailor Ceres.
"Yeah but you also have friends that wouldn't let you down..." said Sea.
Sailor Ceres smirked… since she became a Sailor Senshi she felt like she had true friends for once, she could say Zoro was her friend and got along great with Eido and quickly become Eido's go to guy… sadly he go lost a lot so that didn't help him.
"I get it…" do you think they would help me?" asked Sea, "I mean I have nothing going for me other than the fact that I'm the 2nd in command of the Black Sun."
"I think they will…" said Sailor Ceres.
Sea nodded in agreement and the two walked off.
In his chambers The Master of the Sun was gaping, "She betrayed me?"
"Looks like it…" said Neo Sailor Moon, "Good job… you did the first step."
Meanwhile Sailor Vesta and Hyde stood across from Dude who was just yawning.
"Let me sober up for a few more minutes." said Dude.
"What do you mean?" asked Sailor Vesta.
"He smells bad…." said Hyde.
"What do you mean?" asked Sailor Vesta.
Hyde whispered something into her ear… "Oh…" said Sailor Vesta.
"Yeah I gotta quit that stuff…" said Dude, "They don't even take me seriously any ways! But they should now!"
Dude took out two daggers…
"Are you ready to fight…" said Hyde.
"I don't know… the monkey dressed like Napoleon said I am." said Dude.
"What monkey?" said both Sailor Vesta and Hyde.
"I guess I'm not…" said Dude.
5 Minutes later… Dude was finally clean and that's when the fight began.
"Super Dagger Boomerang Throw!" said Dude.
Is that it?" said Sailor Vesta, "Jikar!"
Hyde sent out a gust of wind that was meant to stop the daggers however the dagger when thought the gust of wind, Hyde used his powers to makes that they dodged.
"Oh man…" said Sailor Vesta.
"The daggers can go though anything…" said Dude, "Wind Fire… what ever power you have."
"Oh man…" said Sailor Vesta, "We only have tow spells still... I don't know what else what do."
"I have an idea…" said Hyde.
"What sort of idea?" asked Sailor Vesta.
Hyde whispered it into his ear. "That might work. Okay let's do this!"
The daggers returned to Dude and saw their faces when they landed.
"What have a brilliant plan?" asked Dude.
"We sure do." said Sailor Vesta, "Vesta Flare Wall!"
The wall like attack moved towards Dude.
"Now!" said Hyde.
"Right! Jikar!"
The wind fanned the flames, making them stronger the combined attack hit dude. After a few minutes the flames cleared.
"You beat me…" said a badly beaten Dude who was burned badly… then he began to fade away.
Sailor Vesta sighed, "At least it was pretty easy."
"I guess…" said Hyde.
Meanwhile in the Master's Chambers Master just sighed.
"I'm not surprised… what I was thinking when I created him…" said Master shaking his head in disappointment.
"He made some bad mistakes… I have to agree with you there…" said Neo Sailor Moon referring to Dude's uh… habits.
"Remember gets… don't do drugs…" said The Master of the Sun.
"Who are you talking to?" asked Neo Sailor Moon.
The Master of the Sun sweatdroped.
Meanwhile elsewhere with Sailor Neptune and Teach.
"So Ace… what are you going to do this time…" said Teach, "Are you going ot try to foolishly kill me again…"
"Not this time…" said Sailor Neptune, "Because I'm not ready to fight right now…"
"Is that so… then why are you facing me…" said Teach with an evil smile.
"I wasn't finished… I was going to say for White Beard's Crew… this fight is for the Sailor Senshi… and I'm going to use my senshi powers!" said Sailor Neptune.
"What?" said Black Beard remembering that while Ace was weak agaisnt him, his Senshi form being that of the Sailor Senshi of the Sea would turn the tide.
"Deep Submerge!"
The orb made out the power of the sea hit Black Beard knock him over.
"This isn't how the fight is supposed to go!" yelled Black Beard.
"Like I said… this is for the Sailor Senshi… not White Beard! Neptune Wave Crash!"
The rather large wave of water hit Black Beard knocking him out.
"I am going to train to defeat… but not walk down the path that I've seen Sasuke walk down… I will find out a way to fairly defeat you." thought Sailor Neptune, "And when that happens we will fight again."
Sailor Neptune decided to find a kitchen, thinking that Luffy went there after his fight.
Meanwhile in the Mater's chamber…
"So…" said the Master of the Sun, "It figures that something like that would happen…"
"You have to realize that Ace wasn't ready to fight Black Beard… her ended it quickly by using his senshi powers… that fight didn't matter when it came down to it." said Neo Sailor Moon.
Elsewhere Sailor Jupiter and Cat faced off…
"So, so… Sailor Jupiter are you scared?" asked Cat.
"No of course not!" said Sailor Jupiter.
That's when Cat lifted her arm in a cat like pose and began to mew.
"Hey stop that!" yelled Sailor Jupiter.
"Why?" said Cat.
"Because if you continue I might use the cat fist on accident!" yelled Sailor Jupiter.
"Oh… right…" said Cat who then frowned, "We can't have that."
Cat took out a hat spun it around he finger and then placed it on her head, which hid her ears, "Is this better?"
"I guess…" said Sailor Jupiter.
"Now come at me…" said Cat who took out gloves that looked like they had small gloves on the tips of the fingers.
Sailor Jupiter clamed down, "So that your weapon…" said Sailor Jupiter.
She swiped at a nearby pillar with her claws… the pillar was sliced up and nearly fell on to Sailor Jupiter.
"Does that answer your question… this claws are made out of sea stone, their just as hard as diamond… they won't have much of an effect on you though… but their also pretty potent on Devil Fruit Eaters but that doesn't matter here." said Cat.
"This is will prove interesting!" said Sailor Jupiter.
The two ran towards each other just as the two were about to hit each other Cat used her tail to take of her hat, Sailor Jupiter froze and Cat managed to get in a good hit, Sailor Jupiter was sent flying.
"No fair…" said Sailor Jupiter.
"Well of course it's not fair… I'm the bad guy remember…" said Cat with a snort.
Sailor Jupiter glared at the cat girl who just put her hat back on.
"Your just going to take up your hat again… aren't you?" said Sailor Jupiter.
"My aren't you perceptive…" said Cat with an evil smirk.
Sailor Jupiter sighed and began to close her eyes.
"Okay, Ranma clam down there must be a way to defeat her… that's it!"
"Momoko Takabisha!" she yelled.
Cat was hit by the confidante Ki.
"What was that!" said Cat to find that Sailor Jupiter ran away and managed to get into in a good hit, "What did you do?"
"It's a trick I picked up training Sasuke… sometimes Sausage had this habit putting me under a Genjutsu while training, Kakashi told me that if I look at his then he wouldn't put him his Genjutsu… I picked up on it quickly." said Sailor Jupiter with a smirk.
"So your using it a against me so that you wouldn't have to see my ears… right?" said Cat.
"That's right!" said Sailor Jupiter, "Supreme Thunder!"
She sent out the electrical attack… and that hit Cat head on. Cat got up from the attack.
"Very good…" said Cat, "But not good enough!"
She was about to slice up Sailor Jupiter when Sailor Jupiter managed to kick her in the gut.
"Not to finish this!" said Sailor Jupiter, "Sparking Wide Pressure!"
The attack hit Cat in the gut.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"
This attack hit Cat sending her into the Wall.
"Jupiter Leaf Slice!"
The last attack cut her up.
"Well this will end it!" said Cat taking out a viral of liquid then drank in one gulp.
"What's that supposed to do?" asked Sailor Jupiter.
"You'll see…" said Cat.
She suddenly collapsed, "You won… it was poison." said Cat.
"You killed yourself…" said Sailor Jupiter who became pale.
"Yes…" said Cat who began to disappear.
That when Cat disappeared… Sailor Jupiter bowed her in respect and decided to look for Sailor Ceres… knowing her sense of direction she was probably extremely lost.
"So cat took her own life rather face defeat…" said Master of the Sun.
"Its you fault! If you weren't so… so…" said Neo Sailor Moon.
"You realize that all of your little friend fights are finished right?" said the Master of the Sun with a smirk.
That's when Neo Sailor Moon realized it… it was time for their fight.
"You won't win!" yelled Neo Sailor Moon.
"We'll just see about that…" said the Master of the Sun.
With Cat, Dude, Otaku, Sporty and Tech dead, Buggy and Teach beaten unconscious, Sea and Doll joining the senshi's side and Orochimaru and Zeno beating their opponents it was now time for Neo Sailor Moon and the Master of Sun's fight was about to begin… but who would win?
Next Time: Neo Sailor Moon and Master of the sun finally start their fight. Meanwhile the other senshi reunite with one another. Not only that but Orochimaru and Zeno are planning something... what is it? Find out next time!
