Chapter 21

Christmas Chopping part. 3

Each of the faction in the mall clash as each of them pick a target and swing and block each other's weapons. Sailor Venus with her love me chain she stretches it out to block the strikes of Klothod whom swings at her with the broadswords that she swings as if their light weight. Klothod she then swings at Venus horizontally but Venus she manages to roll to the right and the broadsword just cuts a big chunk from a pillar.

Meanwhile Sailor Saturn is fighting off Strife as both are striking and blocking with their staffs. Both are then in an interlock and are pressing their staffs against each other but then she simply head butts Saturn and Saturn goes down on the ground letting go of her staff on the way down. Luckily her tiara protected her forehead but still the impact of the butt really rattled her and then she points her staff in a position to thrust at her while on the ground. There is the first thrust and Saturn she rolls out of the way as the key staff it contacts the ground. She makes another thrust which once again misses as Saturn rolls away and is trying to roll toward her Scathe. But she sees this and then just kicks it out of the way and then she positions her staff once more ready to thrust down.

In another place Urawa/Tuxedo Sphinx along with Henry Leoric/Tuxedo Hyperion and Sailor Mecury they are dealing with Wrath. He with the Neutralizer shoots them but they each duck for cover which doesn't last as the laser makes vapor out of the cover their in. Tuxedo Sphinx he then takes out his baton and then points it at Wrath and then fires it. A blue bolt comes toward Wrath but he just simply side steps and the bolt just zips by Wrath and then hits one of the tables.

Wrath says, "If that's the best you can do it's pathetic.

Henry Leoric/Tuxedo Hyperion who is in armor that is of an ocean blue color and a helmet that covers his head with a visor which has holes to breath for the mouth and a slit for his eyes to see. He takes a small stick from his back he then presses a button, and the stick extends two sides and then he takes something else from the back of his armor, which is some small square mirror object, he attaches it to the end of the staff. The mirror then glows blue and then there is some sort of creature that is displayed which is a lion with a unicorn horn.

Tuxedo Hyperion he then stands up and recites the summoning spell in his mind and then suddenly the light from the mirror glows brighter and suddenly the lion unicorn displayed makes a roaring sound and the mirror discharges and the discharge stops in midair and the dragon is released.

Wrath sees this is some sort of magic and then as the unicorn lion starts to shoot out blue fire from its mouth, Wrath he then summons up some shielding spell and there are a couple of glowing red circles that are on his forearms which he puts out like shields. The blue fire it hits the red circles, and the fire just blows right away from his body. Soon the discharge is complete, and the dragon disappears, Wrath his red shield circles then fade but he looks at a bit of both his forearms and sees there are a few black scorch marks on them.

Wrath says, "So you have fight in you, that's good, that gives me a reason to make your execution all the more painful."

Sailor Mercury, Tuxedo Sphinx and Tuxedo Hyperion they go into a department store called "J Carpenter" and they are at the clothing section and all three they go to the jewelry section and then behind the display cases they duck down.

Sphinx sees this and says, "Oh, this is ridiculous we can't keep this up forever."

Mercury says, "Your right we need some sort of plan."

Hyperion says, "I know but what, this Dire Wrath is nothing I've ever handled before, it's black magic is nothing I've seen in my world."

Sphinx he then thinks for a while and then he says, "You don't have to just use magic to beat magic."

Hyperion says, "I do not understand your meaning."

Sphinx says, "Both of you follow my lead."

Both Mercury and Hyperion don't understand what he's getting at but decide to just go with it has all their options are exhausted at this point.

Wrath he then takes out the Energy Analyzer device and turns it on and once again tracks their footprints, and he then hovers above the floor, as there are some small jet nozzles on the side of his ankles and sole of his boots, the nozzles are filled with red energy. Wrath in mid air get into a hovering horizontal position and then hovers forward fast on the trail of the footprints.

He continues to follow the trail to a store called "J. Carpenter" and in that store he tracks the prints to a jewelry display case. He then lands down and looks but sees they are not visible; he then once again uses his tracking device and sees there are a few prints that come out of the jewelry display case and go one direction but then the prints stop.

Wrath growls in frustration and then he draws his laser blaster and then just shoots at one of the display cases and then shoots at one of them. He then holsters the pistol and then goes to one of the display cases and then just takes one gold necklace and then looks at it with glee.

Wrath says, "Ah, fuel."

Wrath then takes the gold necklace and then puts it inside his mouth and then swallows. As he does then all his neon red veins and nerves from behind the armor just glow as the glowing substance just flows though and then the neon red veins and nerves subside. Then Wrath just continues his search for them, from the direction of the final prints he determines it's to the upper floor.

Wrath then fires up his hover jets to get up to the second floor and as soon as he reaches it, he then lands. Wrath looks around the area he's in and sees it's the appliance section as there are several sets of refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, washers and dryers. Wrath walks and looks at each of the rows carefully. Wrath he then sees one of the refrigerators they open the top and as he sees it, he then takes out his Neutralizer gun and makes a precision laser blast. The blast hits the door of the freezer, which makes it glow red and then it simply vanishes. Wrath he looks at it but then he sees there are other appliance doors that just open to refrigerators, ovens, microwaves; Wrath out of just mere reaction shoots a few of them and they disintegrate. And then suddenly the gun in his hand suddenly leaves it and flies away. Wrath is wondering where it went and who can use telepathy to steel it from him.

Wrath in a gravel tone then says, "So one of you also possess the power of telekinesis; it won't do you any good I will be able to find you sooner or later."

Wrath he then with his wrist gauntlets then switches out a big, long sword blade from each and then he scouts around, and he suddenly hears some sort of noise which is coming to his right. Wrath then runs toward the source of the noise and then he sees it's a television from the electronics section that is on, but it has an image of Tuxedo Sphynx who is on TV.

Wrath he then twirls and makes a downward diagonal back handed slice. The TV doesn't seem cut at first until there is a series of sparks the shoot out in a diagonal line shape from the middle of the TV, the TV then has this diagonal slit that makes the top half just slide down and fall to the ground.

Wrath then looks up as he sees multiple TV screens just light up with Sphynx's face on each of them. Suddenly Wrath then feels some sort of impact which hits his chest, he then sees it was a vacuum cleaner that was flung, and then he suddenly hears something to his left and it's the swish of a blade.

Wrath blocks it and sees its Sailor Mercury with her Hyborian wu shu blade, Wrath then executes a cross block with his wrist blades and then pushes Sailor Mercury off and kicks her. But then someone else comes out and is swinging a combo of two weapons, on the left hand a blue light whip and the right a blue light short battle ax. Wrath blocks the strikes of both weapons and moves back but Tuxedo Hyperion he then strikes with both the whip and axe at the same time and then the impacts make Wrath stagger as he uses an overhead block with both blades.

Wrath then starts to take out his secondary Neutralizer gun but then it gets snatched from his hand in the air and it flies and then come toward Tuxedo Sphinx whom catches it which looks like from midair but then suddenly the gun that seems like it's floating in mid air suddenly has a hand that forms and then the rest of the source of the hand forms and it's Tuxedo Sphinx whom is holding the gun just getting out of stealth mode.

He then throws the gun away someplace and then he takes out two of his stun batons and then he charges. All three are swinging away at Wrath as Wrath is blocking and striking but as all three are advancing on their strikes suddenly all three can't move as if their magnetized to the floor.

Wrath he then gives an laugh that sounds like metal grinding and then looks at all three of them and says, "Fools, do you think I would just walk unprepared, I knew you'd have a trap for me so I created a little insurance policy with one of my dark magics to curse this part of the ground where only evil can walk but good can't follow."

Wrath then has both of his wrist blades up and says, "Now I can cut your hearts out, one by one and add them to the collection of ingredients for my fellow Dire Wraths, I guess that would be as your planet would say my Christmas gift to me and them."

But suddenly there are a few microwaves that are dropped on Wrath's head. Wrath staggers from the impact and then looks up and sees that there are several that are suspended up near the celling and then several of them they drop down on him but Wrath he cuts the microwaves down before they even touch him, and they are in pieces.

Sailor Mercury still able to move her right hand points the Hyborian sword and it glows blue and then shoots out ice which hits the floor where Wrath is standing. Wrath staggers struggling to maintain his balance. But as he does that suddenly Henry Leoric from the mirror on his chest from his armor emits an image of a neon blue lion and then suddenly Henry metamorphs into that lion as soon as the emblem from his chest armor glows. He then runs toward Wrath on all fours and then pounces on him for attack, Wrath is knocked down to the ground as the glowing paws of the neon blue lion pin him down.

Tuxedo Sphinx he then levitates in the air and flies right toward Wrath and then as he's close, he then comes close to his head and then puts both his hands on its head and concentrates. Wrath then loses consciousness and then the spell on the ground breaks and then everyone can move again, and all take their breaths of relief.

Meanwhile Sailor Venus and Klothod continue fighting. The fighting gets intense as Klothod comes really close, Venus tries to put some distance between them but it's no good as Klothod is at close range she then uses the hilt of her broadswords and then butts Venus on the head with both of them. First the bottom end of the right sword on her forehead, the side handle of the left, and then her face with the middle cross guard of the right sword. Venus is staggered by the blows almost losing balance, her tiara protected the forehead strike, but the side strike left a big bruise and the face a bloody nose.

Klothod says, "How a Pathetic imitator like you was made to be a leader of the Senchi in the Silver Millennium, I'll never know?"

Venus doesn't comment on the insult but just wipes the blood from her glove.

Klothod says, "Oh, did that hurt good, you know since you like the spotlight so much, I'll do you a favor, I'll put your head on a pike for everyone to see."

Klothod then sheaths her broadswords and get into a position.

Klothod says, "You failed to protect the Moon Kingdom, you failed to protect your Princess twice for the record, you just failed, and we have a place in hell for failures.

Klothod summons up one of her abilities and says, "Thunder Wide Pressure."

Her hand forms with lighting a ball charged with lighting and then throws it at Venus, but Venus does a cartwheel to dodge the bolt. The Blue Ball bolt it misses and blows away a chunk portion of the mall. Sailor Venus she quickly does some back flips and when she gets enough distance.

Klothod sees this and then she summons up another of her powers and then suddenly shoots out her Supreme Thunder the bolt it comes toward Venus. Venus she then summons up her Crescent Beam and both the lighting bolt and beam they contact each other, canceling each other out which results in an explosion. The explosion blinds Klothod for a moment but then as the flash fades, she then sees Venus is nowhere within her perimeter.

Sailor Venus she is running in a hallway of the mall to put enough distance and then takes cover on one of the pillars and as she is breathing hard, she is trying to think of a way to beat Klothod but then she suddenly sees a store in front of her and runs to it.

The store is called "Hershell Gordon's Furniture Feast, Venus she then presses a button on the side and the gate and door of the store come down. Klothod hears this and then immediately runs to the direction of the noise, she sees the store. Klothod, she has a sinister smile on her face and takes out two of her broadswords. Sailor Venus knows she has bought herself a minimum amount of time, but she has to work fast. Sailor Venus she is setting up certain things and then soon Klothod she though the barrier blocking the store making a doorway for herself.

Klothod proceeds forward, just as she come within sight Venus then unveils the curtain and Klothod once she immediately sees Venus in front of her, she then unleashes her Supreme Thunder, and the lighting goes right toward Venus. But suddenly she sees Venus shatter and then lighting comes right back at Klothod and hits her. The lighting it shocks Klothod bad until the lighting then loses its charge and then Klothod taking a beating from her own blast she then drops to her knees and then faints to the ground. Venus then comes away from a certain area and she looks at what Klothod hit, and it was pieces of a mirror but behind that mirror there was a metal plating which is known to conduct electricity but also to direct it back.

In another part of the mall, Gabriel and Spidrax are in the World Waterpark, both ride on the shallow side of the wave pool with their creatures. Gabriel is on the zombie horse of one of the blind dead knights and he has a medieval shield from the horse with a cross on it and he draws out one of his medium whips. Spidrax he's armed with a black shield and a medium whip with three small mace balls on the end of it. Both face each other.

Spidrax says, "Ah, now we can have a proper fight, I prefer the traditional Symbyon warrior way over the pathetic ways of a coward your planet has adapted; and I feed cowards to my pet."

Spidrax, he pets the head of his giant tarantula flier.

Gabriel says, "I prefer one on one battles over giant ones, more fairness to them."

Spidrax says, "It also means no one will hear you scream in agony except you, and I always love that sound it's lovely music to me."

"I don't intend to be another of you prey."

"How does an old saying on your planet go, oh yes "Talk is cheap."

"Your right, the time for talk is terminated."

Spidrax/Michael on his giant tarantula flier is on the ground and is advancing on all eight legs very quickly, meanwhile Gabriel he has his zombie horse who is running toward Spitrax and moves a little to the right. Soon as they get a certain distance Spidrax he then starts to swing his whip at him, the whip contacts Spidrax's shield. Spidrax he then retaliates by swinging his whip in a horizontal strike, but Gabriel moves his shield to the far left and blocks that on time. Spidrax he then shoot out of his mouth a big wad of webbing which makes contact with Gabriel's shield. The wad despite deflecting off the shield, it made such a hard impact as much as a super hard pitch to a catchers mitt, it knocks Gabriel off balance and he fall off his horse and splashes down on the shallow ground.

Spidrax then dismounts, discards his shield and whip and then he draws out all six of his single-handed roman swords. Gabriel he stands up and also discards his shield and whip then draws out his katana from behind him and goes into a stance.

Spidrax says, "Once I and my Dark Domain kingdom rein down on this planet, you will be the first to be one of my slaves along with every other fool that dared oppose me."

Gabriel says, "You'll have to beat me first to do it."

"You remind me so much of Prince Dargon, I hate Dargon; however just as he failed to protect Symbyon from me, so will you."

Both charge at each other and then they both their swords clash the fight goes on for the longest time as Gabriel is constantly blocking barely having time to strike back as each of Spidrax's strike which are numerous with his six arms that are just swinging at him furiously. Gabriel fails to block three of the strikes and he receives two cuts one near his left shoulder, another on his right forearm, and the third on his upper thigh. Gabriel backs away quickly but staggers from the cuts, Spidrax just is looking at him with those red eyes and a grin just waiting for his kill.

As Spidrax goes into a charge, Gabriel says, "Man, fuck this."

Gabriel then draws out his pistol which is a 44 Magnum and then she suddenly discharges in mere seconds six rounds. Each of the rounds hit the blades of each of the swords Spidrax's is holding making him drop them but also the rounds damage the blades creating cracks and making them break. Gabriel then points the pistol at Spidrax and he reluctantly and with scorn puts all six of his hands up.

Gabriel then comes near and keeps the gun trained on him with his right hand but then takes out some small spray can with his left from the lower pocket of his combat vest and then just sprays at Spidraxs space. The substance Gabriel has sprayed makes Spidrax feel lightheaded and sleepy. Spidrax then just goes down on the ground and Gabriel, he catches him and then drags him to the shore, and he breathes relief from the won battle.
