In the city, the main 5 Sailors we're battling Nephrite and a new Youma. Mercury's analysis had indicated that this one was just a child, meaning that they had to prioritise curing her first. Therefore, Venus moved to restrain her. "Venus Love Chain, Encircle!" The Golden chain rapped around her opponent, giving Mars an opportunity to strike.
"Mars Celestial Fire, Surround!" This knocked the Youma back, leaving Mercury with an opening.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" The Youma was now frozen solid. "Now, Sailor Moon!", Mercury yelled. "Heal her before she can break free."
"Right." Sailor Moon held out her Crescent Wand and began spinning. "Moon Healing Activation!" Bright light surrounded the creature, exorcising the evil and restoring the little girl to normal. Frustrated, Nephrite retreated into the shadows.
The scouts all celebrated, except Jupiter, who was sulking. "I could've helped if I had a new Star Power like the others.", she thought. "I just need the opportunity to show I have the determination to unlock it."
As if on cue, a metal figure flew in with a captive in tow. Moon didn't recognise the figure, but the others did.
"Motro.", Mars said, barely concealing her anger. She hadn't forgotten what he had done to her grandfather.
"How nice of you to remember me, Rei.", their nemesis replied, momentarily shocking her. "That's right, I know who you are. I also have someone else you might be interested in." He threw his captive onwards them. None of them recognised him, none but Sailor Venus.
"I know him.", she cried out. "He was at the jewellery store, the night that Mars got awakened. He got attacked by the Youma posing as the owner.
"That would explain the fact that Mrs. Osaka was acting weird that day.", Moon stated.
Motro ignored her, focusing on what Venus had said. "Excellent deduction. But this thief wasn't after diamond necklaces. He was after so,etching I now possess. Something the Dark Kingdom have been after for thousands of years. The Silver Imperium Crystal."
The Sailors were shocked at what he had said. "You possess the Silver Crystal?", Mercury gasped.
"Yes. And all the power that comes with it." With that declaration, Motro began glowing all over. His armour broke off, piece by piece, exposing a more organic version of his previous appearance. The only major change was the lack of an arm cannon, the damage he had been sporting was now repaired and he had a wheel on his forehead. "Now I am more than man, more than machine. I am all your powers in one being. I am Replakor!"
"New look, same old lines.", Mars quipped. "Mars Fire Soul, Ignite!"
Replakor took the blow, before the wheel spun around to the alchemical symbol for Mars. "My turn. Replakor Fire Soul Ignite!" The blast knocked all five Sailors back. "Whatever you girls have thrown at me in our past encounters, I can throw back at you by corrupting the power of the Crystal to my will. Nothing short of the Legendary Blade can stop me."
At this, Jupiter flew into a rage. "You think you can take something sacred and pervert it towards your own selfish desires. I won't let you get away with this. Not now, not ever!" Just like the others in their recent skirmishes, she was enveloped with a glowing aura. "Jupiter Star Power!", she cried. Then a small amount of electricity began to develop in her hand. "Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!"
The blast knocked Replakor back, knocking him out in the process. When he came to, the Sailors were gone, along with their friend in the tuxedo. "No matter, we have an idea of where to look for you, Scouts. You can't hide from us." Once he had left, A blue-skinned Youma dressed as a kunoichi emerged from the shadows, only picking up a metal helmet before leaving.
