Disclaimers: This is a crossover between Sailor Moon and Code Lyoko. I do not own these two shows. Sailor Moon is written by Naoko Takeuchi in manga form and aired as a series by Toei Animation and TV Asahi in Japan and by Kodansha Comics in North America. Code Lyoko is created by Thomas Romain and Tania Palumbo and aired as a series the Moon Scoop Group for France 3 in France and by Cartoon Network in North America.
"Dude," said Odd as he dodged.
"Stay still," growled Venus.
"Nah," said Odd, "I'm fine where I am, thanks."
Setsuna and Odd were being attacked by Chaos' Venus as she sent attack after attack against the two Senshi. Venus, for all her powers, was getting frustrated because her name sake, di Venere (Venus), was just dodging easily after each attack. It was like Odd's catlike reflexes that he gained on Code Lyoko were being used. Odd, for his part, was very happy that the Shadow Inners didn't know about his Lyoko powers. It seemed as though Chaos forgot to mention it or thought that the Lyoko warriors weren't going to be a problem. Setsuna, however, finally got a moment to call on HER attack while Venus was distracted. "Dead Scream," called Setsuna.
"Venus Love and Galactica Shock," called Venus.
"Shield," called Odd.
An orange shield erected around Odd just as the two powerful attacks from Setsuna and Venus collided. The energy from Setsuna's attack and the energy from Venus' attack combined in a two-toned swirl before forming a ball and exploding. As the energy ball exploded, it sent Setsuna and Venus hurling back. Odd took that opportunity to call out his Venus Lasik Arrows attack, which finally scratched the left shoulder to reveal X.A.N.A.'s bullseye mark. Without pause, Odd sent out his regular Venus Arrows arrack that made the produced orange arrows to hit X.A.N.A.'s bullseye. Once Odd's attack hit, a virtual-like shield around Venus broke into pixels. "Huh," said Odd, "That's new."
"It seems as though Chaos combined his X.A.N.A. knowledge to make our foes invulnerable to our attacks," said a thoughtful Setsuna.
"Should we be talking about this right now," asked Odd.
"No," said Setsuna before calling her attack to send it at the now vulnerable Venus shadow, "Chronos Typhoon!"
"Venus Galactica Beam," called Venus.
As Venus shot off a darker form of the Venus Crescent Beam at Setsuna's attack, Setsuna's attack actually swallowed the attack. Odd could see the shock look on Venus' face before said Chronos Typhoon engulfed Shadow Venus. Odd couldn't really see what happened to Shadow Venus, but as the attack dissipated, all Odd saw was dark green dust with hints of purple. Odd whistled as a mysterious wind swept the dust away and turned towards his senior. "That was epic," said Odd.
"Come," said Setsuna as she started to walk, "We should find the others."
"Yeah," said Odd as he followed, "I wonder if anyone found Usagi yet."
- With Jeremie & Haruka –
"World Shaking," called Haruka.
"Mercury Galactica Gale," called Mercury.
As Haruka and Mercury continued to fight, Jeremie was trying to hide from Mercury while taking out the Mercury Super Computer. He was just glad that he didn't have to keep Mercury occupied. Typing quickly, Jeremie scanned Mercury from head to toe. He just knew that something was off due to Haruka's attacks weren't making a huge dent against Mercury's person. Jeremie looked at it carefully while dodging Mercury's attacks whenever it came over to his side, but other than that, he was scanning for weaknesses. "Oh… wow," murmured Jeremie before calling out, "Uranus! Mercury has an X.A.N.A. symbol on her person! We need to hit it before even thinking about taking her out!"
"Oh," said Haruka who smirked as she branded her talisman, "Now, let's see where this so-called symbol is."
"Mercury Galactica Mist," called Mercury.
"Che," said a glaring Haruka, "Stay on your toes, du Mercure (Mercury). She just used her attack to cover herself."
Jeremie nodded before dodging a punch from said enemy. Looking at the enraged face of Mercury, Jeremie started to dodge while hearing Haruka running towards him. Jeremie silently counted backwards to calm himself down while dodging Mercury's physical attacks. He wasn't going to let his training with Haruka go to waste. Grabbing onto Mercury's shoulder, he lifted her up before throwing her away from him, ripping a bit of her shoulder pads. Jeremie didn't really throw Mercury far though because he was still physically weaker than Ulrich and Odd are, but when he ripped a bit of the shoulder pads, he found the distinct X.A.N.A. bullseye. "There," shouted Jeremie, "On her shoulder!"
"Great work, du Mercure," said Haruka, "Can you try to freeze her long enough for us to defeat her?"
"I can try," said Jeremie before calling out, "Mercury Frozen Graze!"
Jeremie's attack made an ice beam that shot where Mercury tried and failed to dodge after getting off of the floor. The ice beam made contact and started to freeze Mercury onto the floor, the ice quickly expanding up at Mercury's boot length. Mercury tried to move, but Haruka was faster as she used her Space Sword Blaster, which hit the bullseye. Both Senshi looked to see a virtual-like shield pixelated after the bullseye was hit. "Interesting," said Jeremie, "It seems as though Chaos has memories of X.A.N.A. and is using said memories to make his monsters indestructible."
"Yeah, well, I want to get this over with," said Haruka before calling out, "Space Turbulence!"
"No," shouted Mercury before using her hands since it was still free to call upon one more attack to defend herself, "Mercury Galactica Mirage!"
Jeremie looked surprised. He thought that if her feet were pinned down, she couldn't really make an attack. Well, he was wrong as he saw Mercury use her hands and cast a strong current of water towards Haruka's attack. However, it was futile as the beams from Haruka's Space Turbulence broke her attack before engulfing her in the bright yellow lights. Jeremie could see Shadow Mercury freeze up before turning into dust. He looked at the dust curiously as it shone yellow with hints of navy blue. "Come on, Belpois," said Haruka as she started to run down their hallway, "Times a wasting."
"Uh… Right," said Jeremie as he followed Haruka, typing away on the Mercury computer.
- With Yumi & Michiru –
"You call those attacks," scoffed Mars.
"But, of course," said Michiru, "You know that we Outers are more powerful than you Inners."
"Mars Galactica Gale," called Mars.
"Dolphin Wave," called Michiru.
Both fire and water attacks hit, but all it did was create steam that made Michiru and Mars glare at one another. Yumi sent out her own attack that left Mars dodging. She did stop just as Michiru started her physical attack of punches and kicks. Michiru, however, had to jump back just as Mars sent out another fire attack. Yumi then proceeded to continue with her own martial arts against Mars. Mars grunted as a powerful spinning kick connected with her stomach. Glaring at her goody-two-shoe's namesake, Mars called out her Galactica Snake Fire. "Woah," said Yumi as she jumped away from the fire-like snake.
"Get her while I deal with Neptune," growled Mars.
"Deep Submerge," called Michiru.
Before the fire-like snake could lunge at Yumi, Michiru's water attack connected and dissipated the attack. Yumi nodded her head in thanks before going into the fray again. She did, however, dodge when Michiru's Submarine Reflection was cast. It was that attack that made Yumi and Michiru stare at the glowing right shoulder once Michiru's attack hit Mars. Putting a hand over her right shoulder, Mars growled and called out another fire attack. Both Senshi dodged and was now focused on whatever weakness they knew through Michiru's attack. When Yumi sent out her Fire Blade attack, the fiery tessen fans finally nicked Mars' right shoulder pad and burn it, revealing an X.A.N.A. symbol. "Neptune," said Yumi.
"I see it, Kasei (Mars)," said Michiru, "Shall we?"
"Let's," said Yumi before calling on her attack again, "Fire Blade!"
As the fiery tessen fans flew at Mars, Mars dodged it but was not fast enough for the second attack. Yumi used her Lyoko powers of telekinesis to move her tessen fans back towards Mars instead of calling out her attack again. Mars was not prepared for that as Yumi's tessen fans hit the bullseye, making a virtual-like shield pixelate and deleted. Michiru followed the attack with her own, the Submarine Violin Tide. The tide quickly engulfed Shadow Mars before disappearing to leave only sea green dust. "Whew," said Yumi, "What a workout!"
"Yumi," called Jeremie's voice.
"Michiru," called Haruka's voice.
"Haruka," said a surprised Michiru as both Yumi and she turned around.
There, right in front of Michiru and Yumi, were Jeremie and Haruka running towards them. Yumi and Jeremie looked over each other as Haruka and Michiru smiled to each other. The four were happy that they had found each other. As Michiru and Yumi asked how Haruka and Jeremie found them so quickly, Jeremie was typing rapidly on the computer. "Jeremie, you genius," said Yumi.
"Yes," said Michiru, "Tagging all of us just in case we separated was quite ingenious."
"Thanks," said a blushing Jeremie as he looked at the computer, "It seems as though Odd, Aelita, Hotaru, and Miss Setsuna are closer to us than Ulrich and William are."
"Then, let's meet up with them before finding those two guys," said Yumi.
"Lead the way, Einstein," said Haruka.
- With Aelita & Hotaru –
"Silence Wall," called Hotaru.
"Lightning Fields," called Aelita.
As Jupiter's attack collided with Hotaru's shield, she wasn't prepared for Aelita's offensive attack. Lightning fields emerged around Jupiter's feet as she tried to dodge the attack. Just as the fields were quickly created, it quickly disappeared to make room for Hotaru's physical attack. She may not be strong, but she DID have a glaive that she knew how to use. Using her glaive, Hotaru got Jupiter on the defense as Jupiter continued to dodge her attack. Getting far enough, Jupiter sent out her attack. "Sparkling Galactica Pressure," called Jupiter.
"Jupiter Lightning Shield," called Aelita.
Once Jupiter's attack hit Aelita's shield, sparks began to fly from the lightning. Hotaru quickly spun her glaive around just to deflect the oncoming lightning. Seeing her chance, Jupiter kicked Hotaru in the side, sending her towards Aelita. Both Senshi crash together and skidded on the floor. As they stopped, both Senshi groaned as Jupiter started to gloat about her being the physically fit against the two. The Senshi glared at Shadow Jupiter as they slowly got off the ground. They weren't going to let this shadow of an Inner Senshi beat them. Aelita glared with her pink eyes and called out her Lyoko powers. "Petrification," called Aelita.
"What," gaped Jupiter as she stopped gloating, "I-I can't move!"
"Aelita," asked Hotaru, "Since when can you…?"
"Oh," said Aelita, "It's a Lyoko thing."
"I'll say," muttered Hotaru.
Since Jupiter was momentarily frozen, Hotaru ran up with her glaive once more. Hotaru then called out her attack, Silence Glaive Surprise. Said attack created a huge purple energy blast that engulfed Jupiter in close range. Both Senshi could see a virtual-like shield pixelated before turning Jupiter into purple dust. Aelita now knew that Hotaru, though looking fragile and weak, is one of the strongest Senshi ever. "You are so strong," said an awed Aelita.
"My powers are actually on par with our hime, though she is much more powerful than I," said a bashful Hotaru.
"I'll say," said Odd's voice, "Aelita! Remind me not to get on Hotaru's bad side!"
"Odd," exclaimed Aelita as she and Hotaru turned to see Setsuna and Odd a few steps away from them.
"Good work, you two," said Setsuna.
"Thank you, Setsuna-mama," said Hotaru.
"How did you guys do," asked Aelita.
"Shadow Venus is no more," said a happy Odd.
"Shall we find our other comrades," asked Hotaru.
"Let us depart and find our hime," said Setsuna.
- With Ulrich & William –
"Boy, can this girl sleep," said William.
"Shush," said Ulrich.
It has been a while since Ulrich and William found Usagi unconscious within a bedroom. Ulrich was still unsuccessful in waking up Usagi as he tried almost everything to wake up his love. William then suggested that they just leave the room with Usagi and try to find the others. Ulrich agreed and scooped Usagi up before heading to the door. Working together with William, the two and Usagi didn't hit a snag unless it was the lesser X.A.N.A. monsters. Though, the two boys never realized that Usagi would sometimes glow an eerie dark energy, for the hallways were dark enough to hide said energy. William and Ulrich continued to walk, Usagi not once waking up from the movement. It wasn't long that they were reunited with the others. "William," exclaimed Yumi.
"Stern," said Haruka, "Good work. You found koneko."
"Did you run into any trouble," asked a worried Aelita.
"Just X.A.N.A. monsters," said Ulrich.
"Strange," said Michiru.
Jeremie nodded too as he looked at his cousin once over. He DID noticed that her fingernails were longer than it was usually was. Concerned, Jeremie started to scan his cousin while she slept on. The others, however, were telling Ulrich and William about the defeat of the Shadow Inners by the combined efforts of each group. Ulrich smirked and congratulated them while William looked over Yumi for any injuries on her person. It wasn't until Jeremie gasped in surprise while typing furiously. "What's up, Einstein," asked Odd.
"I noticed that Usagi's fingernails were longer than when she disappeared, and well, I really wanted to scan her for any injuries," said Jeremie, "But…"
"But," prompted Hotaru.
"Usagi is emanating dark energy that keeps pulsing around her," said Jeremie.
"That's bad," said Haruka.
Before Jeremie could say anything else, a dark and evil laugh rang around the hallway. Said hallway shifted to reveal all of them were in a dark dungeon-like room. In front of the Senshi was Darien Shield with an evil smirk. Yumi yelled Darien's name, but Darien just said that was NOT his name. Narrowing their eyes, the Outers called out Chaos with venom in their voices. Darien, or Chaos, clapped as dark energy engulfed him to reveal himself as Dark Prince Endymion. "Don't you like my new vessel," asked Chaos.
"What did you do with our hime," snarled Setsuna.
"Oh, the Princess of Light," asked Chaos, "Why. I placed a spell that is slowly turning her into a Youma of my making, of course."
"What," shouted the enraged group.
"That's messed up," said William.
"Once she wakes up, she'll be MINE," said Chaos who followed that statement with an evil laugh.
The Outers yelled out in rage as they flung their planetary attacks at Chaos before going in for a physical fight. Jeremie typed fast on the Mercury computer and virtualized the Lyoko gang's rides. It wasn't long that all the Lyoko members, besides William, ran into the fray to help the Outers defeat Chaos. On William's part, he just moved to the side of the room with Usagi, trying to protect her as best as he could. "Oh man," murmured William, "I hope Usagi doesn't wake up and become a Youma. The others are going to be crushed if that happens."
AN: The Usagi-turning-Youma idea was brought to you by an episode from the show, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon! In that episode, Kunzite placed a spell on Usagi to turn her into a Youma. So! This idea of Chaos doing the same thing with THIS Usagi was born. ㅋㅋ At least, the others don't have to go up against the Shadow Inners anymore. They are no more! 8D If you are also going to complain about Hotaru being powerful, please don't. Hotaru is actually the strongest right next to Usagi in power-wise. That's why she was never awoken until in the future of the Silver Millennium and the other Outers feared her until Sailor Moon: Star Season. ^^; Anyways, see ya next chapter! And!새해 복 많이 받으세요! 明けましておめでとうございます！HAPPY 2020 NEW YEAR! \(^v^)/
