Hey everyone. I am so sorry for the long wait life just got away from me. Between my camp job, vacation, and dealing with a flooded basement I have had literally no time to work on this. BUT, I am back and here with a new chapter. Hopefully, you all like it and again comments and suggestions are always welcome and appreciated. now without further ado, here is the next chapter in the story of Marcus and the Vestal Scouts.
With this Code Eve begins to glow and shrinks into an orb the size of a beach ball.
"Blessed be my child."
She then seems to fade away into the fog. I turn to Pluto with a newfound determination.
"Let's go find the others and get ready to fight this monster."
Pluto nods and raises her staff to summon the space-time doors.
'Looks like I won't be doing those catboxes tonight.'
VESTAL
Exiting the Space-time doors is not as fun as entering was. Going from dark fog to bright sun… yeah, not fun. As I blink to adjust to the daylight, a thought pops into my head.
"Um, hey, Pluto, what time is it!?"
"Time for you to get a watch, you dork."
At the sound of her voice, I look ahead of me to see Pyrus and Ventus standing there watching me.
"You know what, Rachael, shove it, ok."
"Well, you're certainly in a good mood." Eliza chuckles
"Yeah, well, I just found out I'm the reincarnation of an alien king from another dimension whose planet was destroyed; sue me."
Pluto chooses this moment to pipe an and answer my original question.
"To answer your question, Marcus, I brought all of us back the moment we left; no time has passed since then."
"Oh.. ok, well, I guess that makes sense with you being the Senshi of time and all that."
Pluto smirks a little at my comment, " Yes, it is one of the perks of being a master of the time stream."
Her expression then becomes one of a more severe nature, "Unfortunately, we do not have the time to answer more questions. I must see that the rest of the Vestal Scouts are found and you are all reunited and safe here in Washington, as was my promise to Code Eve."
"Wait, why Washington?" Eliza asks, "Why not Tokyo with the other scouts?"
"Washington is where Marcus lives, and therefore it is where the rest of the vestal scouts must be. It is important not only to the city but to Time and Space as well that you seven are here in the city together and as one."
"But why, though?" I ask, "Why is it so important the everyone is here? Can we just like call if we need to?"
"As a good friend of mine from the time stream likes to say repeatedly… Spoilers." Pluto replies in a knowing voice.
"Oh, alright enough, and get that annoying smirk off your face Pluto, it's starting to tick me off!" Rachael yells
'Dear lord, that temper of hers is going to get her in trouble one day.'
"Alright, so where exactly do we find the rest of our group, and what are we going to tell our parents? We can't just run around the city fighting crime without them knowing!"
"Do not worry about your parents; I will speak to them along with Code Eve and let them know what is going on. In the meantime, I suggest you pack sunscreen; Sailors Aquos and Subterra are waiting on Mako Island for you."
"Mako island, where's that?" I ask
"In the land down under," Pluto replies before any of us can say another word. Pluto has already lifted her staff into the air, and we are being whisked away to the scorching and deadly land of Australia.
2 Months Later…
"Damn it, Why won't this thing just die already!"
"Don't ask me. I have hit it with like five attacks so far!"
"Well, let's make it six, shall we!"
"Vestal, Tidal Wave...SURGE!"
"Subterra Land CRUSHER!"
A giant cyan sphere of water goes hurtling across a street, quickly followed by deep brown steam of energy that looks like rocks. Both attacks hit the giant purple mutant monster that has been terrorizing the downtown area for the last 20 minutes.
Screeching in pain the monster explodes in a burst of purple smoke, leaving a very confused and stiff-looking pigeon in its place.
"A pigeon, A PIGEON! Are you f-ing kidding me. We were fighting a stupid bird for the past half an hour!"
"Terra calm down will you, you freaking out the locals."
Sailor Subterra, or Terra for short, turns her exasperated and annoyed face towards me before closing her eyes.
Taking a deep breath, she shakes her head before heading back to the rest of our little group.
Ever since I learned the truth about my past two months ago, Pyrus, Ventus, and I have sought out the rest of the Vestal Senshi. After an exciting and magical adventure on Mako Island and the nearby coast, we located Sailor Aquos and Subterra. It was challenging to convince their families to move to the US, but we could get them up and move after Pluto intervened. Speaking of families, let's just say my mom was NOT happy to learn about my situation. Long story short, there was a lot of shouting, a lot of swearing, and basically, a life vow to never get seriously injured when fighting the monsters that were popping up all over the city. I managed to get my family to agree; my sister still won't stop teasing me about my costume.
Anyways, we also found Sailors Haos and Darkus not that far from the city. It turns out they had been living in a town called Storybrooke and had been dealing with some kind of curse by the evil queen that had trapped everyone from the enchanted forest in time for 28 years… yeah, that's another story in itself. BUT, We are now all living in DC and are having a grand old time trying to kill these stupid monsters that just WON'T GO AWAY….
"Aquos; it's did you get any kind of reading on this one?"
"I did, but there was nothing different compared to the last three; it's like they are the same monster every time; I can't make sense of it."
"Sigh.. great, well we better figure out where these things are coming from then."
"Good idea Vestal, just one small issue."
"What now, Darkus."
"WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START LOOKING!"
"I have a suggestion."
All of us turn around to see a familiar face from the past greeting us.
"PLUTO!? What are you doing here." Rachael exclaims
"I am here because the threat that you have been facing has come to Tokyo, and the one enemy you failed to defeat has made his appearance finally."
"90, it's Master Pharoh 90, isn't it."
"Yes, Haos, it is. He has sent his minions to capture the Silver crystal. But there is a more pressing issue. The Talismans have been awakened, and SHE is about to awaken."
"Shit. Not her. It's not her, is it? Please tell me that Saturn is not about to awaken!" Eliza screams
"I am afraid it is. That is why I am here. The Sol Senshi need your help to defeat 90 and stop Saturn's awakening."
All of us look at each other, the same idea running through our heads.
"Looks like it's time for an epic team-up," I tell Pluto
"Let's go save the world."
