Chapter 3: Sailor Moon, Sonic, & Uranus Team Up (Edited)
Dr. Tomoe's Lab…
At Dr. Tomoe's lab, multiple screens were showing images of the Inner Senshi, the two Outer Senshi, and Sonic. The mad scientist and his assistant Kaolinite were both watching the screens.
"First, those five Sailor Senshi, then, those two mysterious Sailor Senshi who call themselves Uranus and Neptune, and now this blue hedgehog…!" Tomoe hissed as he watched the screens. The next image shows Sonic overwhelming the last two Daimons Scarf and Doburin with relative ease. The evil professor scowled at this.
"That hedgehog's certainly more troublesome than all of the Sailor Senshi combined, especially with that speed of his..." He said darkly. "And just like us, Uranus and Neptune are searching for the talismans."
"For some reason, they always show up whenever a Daimon appears," Kaolinite surmised. "And that hedgehog appears whenever the Sailor Senshi are in trouble."
Dr. Tomoe smirked at this. "If that's the case, we'll use that to lure them out."
"Yes sir!" Kaolinite bowed. "I shall lure them out and eliminate them."
"And that blue rat is most certainly gonna pay!" She thought with an evil smirk. The blue hedgehog has been nothing but a nuisance ever since he arrived, and she was gonna make sure that he suffers a slow, painful death.
Azabu-jūban district/Motorcross park/9:43 P.M…
VROOOOOOOOM~! VROOOOOOOM~!
Meanwhile, Usagi, Makoto, Rei, Minako, Ami, and Mamoru were at the Motorcrossing park watching Haruka's race against her opponent. The Odango-haired girl clung onto her boyfriend's arm, whilst slightly bouncing up and down on her toes with childlike excitement. Soon enough, Haruka won the race. Her opponents takes off his helmet, grunting in frustration.
"Damn it...!" He hissed under his breath, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Everybody was awestruck by the blond tomboy's motor skills.
"That's amazing! That's a clear victory for Haruka-san!" Usagi exclaimed in awe.
"Her motor riding techniques are top-notch!" Mamoru commented.
"She's quite talented to be able to win against those men," Rei noted.
"Oh no!" Ami gasped, catching everyone's attention.
"What's the matter Ami-chan?" Minako asked curiously.
"I got so excited that I forgot one of the English words I've memorized..." The girl genius responded, closing her English book.
"WHAT?!"
THUD!
Everyone fell to the ground anime-style.
"Oh, Ami-chan..." Minako sighed. In the parking lot, Haruka takes of her helmet while Michiru hand her a towel to wipe off the sweat from her forehead.
"Thanks a lot, Michiru." Haruka smiled as she took the towel to wipe her face.
"Haruka-san!" A voice called out to her. Turning around, she saw Usagi approaching her, with her hands behind her back while adorning a cute smile.
"Oh, bun-head!" said Haruka.
"So you came to?" Michiru mused. The Odango-haired girl nodded happily.
"Mhm! Mamo-chan brought us all along," Usagi replied, gesturing to her friends and boyfriend. Suddenly, three biker men came into the parking lot. And let me tell you, they were by no means friendly. In fact, they were very hostile.
"Oi, Haruka Tenoh! Women have no business winning here! You impudent wench!" One of the biker men said in an envious tone, pointing accusingly at the blond tomboy, who scoffed and crossed her arms.
"It doesn't matter if I'm a man or a woman, the fastest one wins," Haruka spoke defiantly. "So why don't you shit-heads get outta my sight?"
"What the fuck did you just say?!" The second one growled. The three biker men began closing in on Haruka in a threatening manner.
"Are you threatening a woman?!" Michiru questioned in disbelief. Mamoru stood in front of Haruka protectively, glaring at the motorcyclist with disgust.
"What a bunch of sore losers, how pathetic!" Mamoru spat, sparking the men's ire.
"Why you...!"
"That's enough!" A voice spoke out. Gasping, the three turned to see a man wearing a light blue and yellow motor racing uniform with the word "Yamada" labeled on the front.
"Y-Yamada-san!" The three motorcyclist exclaimed in shock.
"We'll just win the next race, let's go." Yamada told them, walking away. The three motor racers decided to follow him, realizing that picking a fight with Haruka would be pointless. It would be better to beat her in the next race.
"You'd better watch your back wench." One of them threatened. The three motor racers laughed as they walked away. The Uranian soldier scoffed, flipping them off.
"Mamo-chan! You were so cool!" Usagi squealed as she ran up to hug him.
"Who was that?" Makoto asked curiously.
"That's Katsutoshi Yamada. He came in at second place today." Haruka answered calmly.
"He's very passionate about motorcross, he's very pure-hearted," Michiru added before whispering to her partner. "He's the kind of person who would posses a pure-heart crystal..."
"We should keep an eye on him," Haruka whispered back. The Outer Senshi of Neptune smiled lovingly at her partner as she said.
"Leave that to me," Michiru said assuringly, pecking the Uranian soldier on the cheek, the latter smiling with a light pink hue coloring her cheeks. Meanwhile, Sonic was standing on the top of Tokyo tower, his hand over his eyes as if he were looking for something. Before he left this morning to go on a morning run, Ami had advised the blue hedgehog to keep a watch out for any Daimons. He began hearing her words echo through his mind.
"Sonic-kun, make sure you watch out for any signs of the enemy. They could strike at any moment."
"You got it!"
"Hmm, so far nothin'," Sonic hummed in his mind. "Better keep my eyes peeled."
The speedy hedgehog jumps off the tower, landing on the ground and accelerated forward, his feet becoming blurs and leaving behind a blue streak. Back at the motorcross park, Usagi, Mamoru, Rei, Minako, Makoto, and Ami were all heading to the nearest bus stop. However, something immediately catches Usagi's attention.
"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Our very popular rider dolls are only 1,000 yen each! First come first served! Step on up!" The man from one of the stands shouted, holding out two rider dolls that sparked Usagi's interest.
"Oh, how cute..." The Odango-haired cooed. She squeezes to the crowd, grabbing one of the rider dolls before nuzzling it against her cheek. "It feels so nice~!"
Upon hearing the bus starting, she turns to see her friends were already leaving on the bus.
"H-Hey! What's the big idea?! Come back!" Usagi cried as she ran after the bus. Inside the bus, Rei gasped when she saw Usagi running outside of the bus from the window.
"Oh, my! That's Usagi-chan!" Rei exclaimed. Hearing this prompted Mamoru, Minkao, Makoto, and Ami to look out the window and see Usagi as well.
"Oh, no! Usagi-chan!" Ami said worriedly, covering her mouth. They all watch from the back window see the Odango-haired girl slowing down, the fatigue taking over her.
"I didn't notice her until now. What should we do?" Makoto asked in concern.
"She's not a child, she'll catch up with us eventually," Mamoru said with a sweat drop.
"Jeez! She's such a handful!" The Martian soldier huffed, crossing her arms.
"Let's just hope that Sonic-kun runs into her," Minako prayed, the others nodding in agreement. Catching her breath, Usagi lifts her head to see that the bus was already out of reach, much to her dismay.
"There they go..." She sighed. Usagi then heads back to the bus stop to ready the bus schedule.
"Hmm, let's see...the next bus is coming at..." Usagi's jaw dropped at the misfortune. "I HAVE TO WAIT AN ENTIRE HOUR?!" She exclaimed, nearly ripping out her pigtails. It was then she heard a familiar voice followed by the sound of a motorcycle.
"Hop on," Side-glancing to her right, she saw Haruka on her motorcycle. Usagi's mood visibly brightened.
"Oh, Haruka-san!" She exclaimed happily as she walked up to her.
"I'll give you a lift," Haruka offered, handing the Odango-haired girl a helmet.
"A-Are you sure...?" Usagi seemed a bit reluctant.
"Yeah," Haruka nodded. "Don't be shy, get on."
"O-Okay, thanks!" Usagi happily takes the helmet. She gets on and sits at the back, holding onto Haruka's waist.
"Hold on tight!"
VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~!
And with that, they drove off. However, they were unaware that the were being tailed by a big truck with the word "Flight Bird" written on the left side. Upon hearing the truck honk, Haruka steers to the left side of the road to let the truck drive passed them. But much to their shock, the truck began to corner them into the highway rail, causing her motorcycle to skid against it, creating sparks in the process. Frightened, Usagi hold's onto her waist tighter, burying her face into her back.
"He did that on purpose!" Haruka growled. "Hang on tight bun-head!"
VROOM! VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~!
Haruka accelerated forward and sped in front of the truck. She then steers into a a pathway that lead to the forest in order to hide themselves. Getting off the bike, they peeked from behind the bushes.
"Jeez, why would someone attack you like that?" Usagi questioned. Haruka narrowed her eyes.
"I bet it was those guys from earlier," The Uranian solider scowled. When they see the truck drive in, it turned out her intuition was right. Stepping out of the truck were the three motorcrossers that threatened Haruka earlier.
"No way!" Usagi gasped.
"I knew it was them...!" Haruka hissed under her breath. The blond tomboy holds Usagi close to her chest, which caused her do blush a bright right.
"It feels like a man is holding me..." The Odango-haired girl thought to herself.
"You smell so good Haruka-san," Usagi muttered, catching the scent of her cologne. "U-Um, what type of cologne do you use?"
"Ssh! Stay quiet!" Haruka shushed her. The blond tomboy steps out of the bushes to confront the three men.
"You three wanted to see me?" She questioned, her arms folded.
"Let's get her!" One of them shouted as they charged at the Uranian solider. One of the men swing a punch at the Uranian soldier, but she easily dodges the sloppy punch and BAM! counters with a knee strike to the solar plexus, causing him to double over in pain. THWACK! And not long after, spins around to wheel kicks another in the jaw. As they were both knocked to the ground, they trembled in fear as Haruka towered over them.
"Quit trying to play dirty!" Haruka spat with disgust. "Races should be won fair and square."
"S-Shit! Let's get the hell out of here!" Not wanting to get another beating, the three of them went back inside the truck and drove off. From behind the bushes. Usagi was awestruck at Haruka's fighting skills.
"Haruka-san's so strong..." Usagi thought in awe. Sometime later, Haruka was checking the engine. The blond tomboy frowned when she noticed something was wrong.
"Hmm, that's odd..." Haruka murmured.
"What's wrong?" Usagi questioned, tilting her head.
"It looks like my spark plugs have burnt out," Haruka responded. Hearing a beeping sound, she stands up and pulls back her sleeve, which revealed to be a communicator watch that was on her wrist.
"The sea is raging. Hurry back to the motorcross practice! Quickly!" Sailor Neptune spoke over the communicator.
"Understood, I'll be right there!" Haruka nodded. She then turns to Usagi. "Sorry, but something suddenly came up. Plus my motorcycle is broken, so I won't be able to give you a ride," She points to the road. "If you follow that road, you should be able to find a bus that goes to the station."
Usagi nodded, smiling. "Okay, thanks Haruka-san!"
"No problem!" Haruka waved as she ran off into the bushes. When she left, Usagi couldn't help but wonder what the blond tomboy meant. From the corner of her eye, she saw something shiny in one of the bushes.
"I wonder what came up..." pondered Usagi. "Something's wrong, I have to find out!"
Just then, she saw something shiny in one of the bushes. Curious, she walks over to the bush and squats down to get a better look. Upon seeing what is it, she gasped. In the bushes was violet gemstone that radiated in a bright purple glow.
"Oh, wow~! It's so pretty~!" Usagi squeals in amazement as she picked up the purple gem, putting it in her left jacket pocket. "I've gotta show this to the other's when I get back!"
ZOOM!
Suddenly, a familiar blue blur zipped past her.
"That was Sonic-kun!" Usagi said in realization. Stepping out onto the road, she called out his name. "SONIC-KUN~!"
"Huh?" Sonic questioned upon hearing his name being called. The blue blur skids to a stop, his heels digging into the road, and raced back to Usagi, who held down her skirt due to the gust of wind that he kicked up.
"Hey Usagi, what's up?" He pondered. "And what're ya doing here by yourself? I thought you were with the other's at the motor race."
Usagi smiled sheepishly. "It's uh...kind of a long story..." She laughed nervously, rubbing the back of her head. She gasped once she remembered something. "Oh, right! Haruka-san!"
Sonic cocked an eyebrow. "What about her?"
"Something's wrong," Usagi told him, a look of worry etched on her face. "She told me that something caught up, but something tells me that she's in trouble. We have to go find her!'
"You know where she went?" Sonic asked her. The Odango-haired nodded, pointing in the direction to where Haruka left.
"She went that way," said Usagi. "If we hurry now, we might be able to catch her."
Smirking, Sonic crouches down and picks up Usagi bridal style, causing her to blush red out of embarrassment.
"Alright hang on tight!" The blue hedgehog told her.
"O-Okay!" Usagi complied as she clutched onto him tightly. ZOOM! And with that, the zoomed off into the forest.
On the cliffside...
On the cliffside, Yamada was being cornered by a female Daimon with purple skin, shoulder-length pink hair, and yellow eyes. She had a wheel tire in her gut and a head light on her left breast. Yamada stopped at the edge of the cliff, frozen in fear as he stared at the Daimon that stood over him. Cold beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and was breathing panicking gasps. Smirking, the Daimon parted her bangs from her forehead, which had a black star on it.
"Taiyan!" She shouted as she fired a black beam that pierced through the motorcrosser's chest, causing him to wail in agony. Taiyan chuckled, enjoying listening to his cries of pain. Once the pure-heart crystal was removed from his chest, the Daimon walked up to him and grabbed it.
"I'm taking your pure-heart crystal!" Taiyan boasted, smirking evilly.
"I won't let you have your way!" a female voice declared. Turning to the direction of the voice, she saw Sailor Neptune standing there before her.
"Eh? Who the hell are you?" Taiyan demanded.
"Answering the call from a new era, Sailor Neptune, here to fight with elegance!" Neptune monologued, striking a pose before preparing her attack.
"DEEP SUBMERGE!" She shouted as she hurled an aqua sphere of energy at the Daimon. Once it struck her, she roared in pain and dropped the pure-heart crystal. Neptune crouched down and held Yamada's pure-heart crystal in her hand, checking it to see if it was a talisman.
"Hmm, this isn't a talisman either," The Outer Senshi of water muttered. Shortly, she returns Yamada's pure-heart to his body. "Quickly, you must get to a safe place!" Upon hearing the sound of evil laughter, she looks up to see Kaolinite floating above her.
"I've been waiting for you, Sailor Neptune!" Kaolinite cackled. Sailor Neptune narrowed her eyes. "We were never after this young-man's pure-heart to begin with. We were using him as a means to lure you out."
Neptune gasped at this. "WHAT?!"
"Double Taiyan!" Taiyan shouted as she spins her body around, creating a clone of herself. Then, they transformed their bodies into tires and began circling around Neptune repeatedly, whilst tying her to a tree in the process. Once the two Daimons were finished, they readied to finish her off.
"Die!" They shouted.
"Hold it!" a voice shouted. They turn to see Sailor Uranus.
"My my, so Uranus came as well," Kaolinite mused. "Now you're both going to die!"
With Sonic and Usagi...
Sonic was zipping through the forest at high speeds, leaping across the tree tops while carrying Usagi bridal style. Once they arrived at the scene, he hits the brakes before setting the Odango-haired girl down gently. They both gasp upon seeing Neptune tied up and Uranus cornered by Taiyan. Not wanting to wast anytime, Usagi transforms into Sailor Moon while Sonic raced towards the fight. Uranus was busy running away from the twin Taiyans who were hot on her tail. She flips in the air to avoid their attack, landing on a boulder.
"Don't bother fighting back Uranus!" Kaolinite warned, pointing a dagger-like crystal toward Neptune's throat. "If you do, then your friend gets it."
Uranus narrowed her eyes. "Damn it!"
Kaolinite simply chuckled at her frustration, pressing the dagger closer to Neptune's throat. All of a sudden, her dagger was gone in the blink of an eye!
"What?!" Uranus thought, shocked. Then, a golden energy disk came out of nowhere and cuts Sailor Neptune free, causing her to her fall to the ground. The Uranian soldier watched the same disk that cut her partner free fly back through the bushes.
"Sheesh, using her as a shield? That's low, even for you," a familiar cocky male voice spoke up. Turning to her right, Uranus saw Sonic standing on the cliff, twirling the crystal dagger between his fingers, a cocky smirk on his muzzle.
"It's you!" Sailor Uranus shouted. Kaolinite smirked in delight at Sonic's arrival.
"Everything is going according to plan,"
"Who are you?!" Taiyan # 1 demanded. Sonic chuckled, tossing the dagger over his shoulder and sending it falling down the waterfall.
"I'm Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog!"
"And he's not alone!" another voice shouted. They turned their heads to see Sailor Moon.
"I am the pretty guardian who fight for love and justice, Sailor Moon!" She monologued, striking a pose. "Sonic-kun and I are on neither of your sides, but we can never forgive you for pulling such dirty tricks! In the name of the moon, we'll punish you!"
Sonic whistled, clapping his hands. "Sweet line!"
"ENOUGH OF THIS!" The twin Daimons roared as they turned into tires once more, charging at the blue hedgehog. However, they simply phase through an after-image, much to their shock.
"Where'd he go?!" Taiyan number # 2 questioned, looking for the blue hedgehog.
Hearing the sound of whistling, the two Daimons turn to see Sonic standing on a boulder, his arms crossed with that oh-so-ever carefree smile still present. Growling, the steered and charged at Sonic once more. But just like the last time, their attack was easily dodged. They ended up destroying the boulder that he was standing on instead. Landing next to Uranus, he turned to her as he said.
"Take your friend and get outta here, we'll take care of things from here!"
Instead of complying, Sailor Uranus just merely glared at the blue blur.
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" She shouted at him. Sonic blinked, taken aback by her sudden outburst before scoffing.
"I think WE'RE the one's that just saved your friend's life," He jabbed back, crossing his arms.
"Look! I've had EVERYTHING under control!" Uranus spat pridefully.
"Not from where I'm standing," Sonic shrugged cheekily, earning an icy cold glare from the Uranian. Just why was he helping them in the first place? It confused her to no end.
"Why you...!" Uranus growled, before gasping when she saw one of the Taiyans heading towards him. "LOOK OUT!" She shouted as she shoved him out of the way. However, one of the Daimon's injured her right shoulder, breaking the skin.
"Oh no! Uranus!" Sailor Moon gasped as she ran up to her. Upon noticing she was injured, Sonic hopped back onto his feet and zipped towards her.
"Hey, you okay?" He asked in concern. Clutching her injured shoulder, she shot the two an annoyed look.
"I'm fine! I'll fight them off my self!" Uranus barked at them. But they wouldn't have any of it.
Sonic scoffed at her stubbornness. "Fine my blue-furred ass! You're clearly hurt!"
"He's right! You're injured! You need to get away from here too!" Sailor Moon agreed, removing Uranus's hand from her shoulder.
"I SAID I'M FINE!" Sailor Uranus protested once more. Kaolinite began watching the three argue. An idea came to her head.
"They have no team work whatsoever! Crush them!" Kaolinite commanded the twin Daimons. Obeying their command, they began spinning around and turning into balls.
"CHAIN RING!" The twin Taiyan's shouted as they shot a ring of light from their mouth's that were aimed at Sonic, Uranus, and Moon's wrist. Soon, they fade into cuffs that chained the trio's wrists at each end.
"Oh no!" Sailor Moon gasped.
"We're chained!" Uranus cried.
"Gee, ya think?" Sonic asked sarcastically.
"Taiyan!" The Daimon duo shouted, charging at the trio and persistently attacking them. The chains on their wrists made it very difficult for them to move in different directions. Kaolinite chuckled at their struggling.
"You three don't seem to get along very well," She noted, smirking. "It's like watching a three-legged race gone bad. Hahahahaha!"
Sailor Moon, Sonic, and Uranus tried separating from each other by going in opposite directions, but their efforts were proven to be futile. The cuffs were simply too strong.
"It must be rather frustrating when working with some one who won't comply," Kaolinite mocked. "It's quite ironic that you three are going to die hating each other. HAHAHAHA!"
The twin Daimons rushed at the three once more. It looked like they were gonna finish them off. But then...
"Run away, Uranus!" Neptune cried out to her partner. "You must live out and carry out our goals!"
Sonic, Uranus, and Sailor Moon dodged their attacks, making them crash into the ground. All of a sudden, Kaolinite whipped out her long red hair at Neptune and wrapped it around her neck. Then, she spins around and throws her the cliff. She screamed as she fell into the watery depths. Upon hearing her screams, the trio watched as Neptune plummeted towards her apparent death.
"Neptune!" Uranus cried. While it pained her to see her lover die, she musn't let her emotions get the best of her if she needs to get away from the Daimons and complete the mission.
"NO!" Sonic and Sailor Moon shouted in unison. They were about to run towards the cliff and jump into the water to search for Neptune, but Uranus held them back and dragged them into the forest with them.
"H-Hey! What gives?!" Sonic questioned as he was being dragged away.
"Yeah! The waterfall's that way!" Sailor Moon added.
"After them! Don't let them escape!" Kaolinite commanded. The twin Taiyans emerged from the ground and pursued after them.
With Sailor Moon, Sonic, and Uranus...
After the three managed to lose them, they went into a cave for them to hide in and sat behind a huge boulder. Sonic was repeatedly banging a cave rock against the chains in an attempt to break free.
"Come on, come on...!" Sonic muttered impatiently.
"Neptune might still be alive. Aren't you worried about her? Are you just going to abandon your friend?" Sailor Moon asked Uranus in pleading tone, who was watching Sonic trying to break the chains. As he slammed the rock against the chain one last time, it broke into pieces. The chains didn't even have a scratch!
"Damn, not even a scratch!" Sonic huffed in irritation. He then made an attempt to break the chains apart with his teeth. But once he bit down on them...
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAP!
He was suddenly electrocuted, sparks of yellow lightning coursing through his body. His fur was all puffed out, charred to a crisp from all the electricity. He coughed out puffs of smoke.
"Well, that didn't work either...!" Sonic wheezed. Sailor Moon giggled a bit while Uranus rolled her eyes. Upon hearing footsteps, the trio ducked own. It was the Daimon duo using their headlights to search for them in the dark cave. The three held in their breath, doing their best not to make a peep. Once they heard the two Daimons leave, they sighed in relief.
"Looks like their gone..." Sailor Moon sighed in relief before turning to Uranus. "Come on, lets go save Neptune! Don't you care if she dies?!"
"If we go out like this, we'll die!" Uranus pointed out. Sonic and Sailor Moon both gaped at her in shock and disbelief.
"What's your deal?! Don't you care if your friend dies at all?!" Sonic questioned.
"He's right! How can you be so heartless?! She's your partner, isn't she!? You're so cruel!" The moon princess shouted. Those comments caused something inside of Uranus to snap. Standing up, she glared down at them.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU TWO KNOW ABOUT ME?!" Uranus roared angrily, causing Sailor Moon and Sonic to jump, taken aback by her outburst. They looked up to see the Uranian solider glaring at them, her fists balled up with her deep blue eyes burning with anger. However, they didn't miss a hint of sadness in those deep blue orbs.
"Neptune and I made a promise..." Uranus trailed off, her voice slightly breaking. "If something bad were to happen to one of us, we wouldn't let our emotions get the better of us and save each other..."
Sonic and Sailor Moon's eyes widen at this.
"...the one who survives has a duty to find the talismans, we've made that decision together."
Sonic and Sailor Moon looked puzzled upon hearing this.
"Talismans? What the heck are they anyway? And what's so special about e'm?" The blue hedgehog asked. But all he got was a glare.
"That's none of your business!" She barked.
"IT IS OUR BUSINESS!" Sailor Moon screeched angrily. "INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR CRYSTAL HEARTS REMOVED WILL SUFFER AND DIE! HOW CAN YOU BE SO COLD-HEARTED?! HOW?!"
Uranus stared at the moon princess, seeing her chest rising and descending from each huff, her body trembling with angry tears running down her face. Sonic didn't speak. For some reason, he felt like there was more to this story than it let on.
"You're naïve," Uranus said coldly. "Do you think I want there to be any casualties? The silence is approaching. In order to save us from that, we need the talismans," Her expression turns grim. "I hate the thought of sacrificing innocent lives, but if it means saving the world..."
"Is there at least another way?" Sonic asked.
Uranus shakes her head grimly. "No, I'm afraid not..." She turns back to Sailor Moon. "If you knew that had to happen to save the entire world, tell me, what would you do different?"
Sailor Moon didn't say a word. She just continued staring at the Outer Senshi of wind standing before her in silence. She didn't know how to react to this. She never had to deal with a situation like this before. Sonic, on the other hand, was getting a terrible case of déjà vu.
With Kaolinite...
Kaolinite hovered over the water fall to search for Neptune, checking to see if she either survived or died.
"Neptune...are you alive? Where are you?" She muttered
Back to Sailor Moon, Uranus, and Sonic...
Sailor Uranus grunted in pain as she felt water drip onto her injured shoulder. Sailor Moon gasped upon noticing her shoulder bleeding.
"Oh no, your bleeding!" She cried. "You should've said something."
"It's fine, this is nothing..." Uranus replied curtly. But Sailor Moon wasn't convinced. Pulling out a pink piece of cloth, she dips it in the cave water and started dabbing it on Uranus's shoulder, disinfecting the wound.
"H-Hey, what're you doing?!" Uranus questioned as Sailor Moon was cleaning the wound.
"You don't want it to get infected." Sailor Moon advised.
"Just mind your own business!" The Uranian soldier spat.
Sonic scoffed, rolling his eyes. Even Knuckles knew when to throw in the towel.
"Gee, you're a stubborn one, ain't ya?"
Uranus glared at the blue blur. "What did you say?!"
"You heard me," Sonic glared back. "Look, your seriously injured, and you're obviously not gonna recover back if you continue to be stubborn. So get your head out of your ass and just let her help!"
Uranus gritted her teeth, staring intensely into the hedgehog's emerald green eyes. Just who the hell did he think he was?! Finally giving in, she sighed as Sailor Moon proceeded to clean the wound on her shoulder. Once she was done, she tied the pink cloth around her shoulder to stop the bleeding.
"Ta-dah! Good as new!" Sailor Moon chirped, clasping her hands together. Uranus stared at her for a brief moment before she spoke.
"Why?" She questioned. Sailor Moon simply smiled sweetly at her.
"I can't ignore someone who is injured," She responded kindly. Uranus gaped at her, touched by the Odango-haired girl's kindness. The soldier of Uranus smiled softly at her.
"You really are something..." She commented.
"By the way, I have a favor to ask you..." Sailor Moon said sheepishly. Uranus eyed her with curiosity.
"What is it?" She questioned.
"I know that its a bit inappropriate in a time like this..." She turns around and points at her back. "...but I can't bear it any longer. My back is so itchy!"
Both Sonic and Uranus sent Usagi a strange look, sweat dropping.
"As much as I'd like to, I can't," The blond tomboy sighed.
"Huh, why?" Sailor Moon asked. Uranus gestures to her right hand that was cuffed to Sonic's left. Sailor Moon sweat drops. "Oops, sorry..."
Sonic chuckled a bit and started scratching Sailor Moon's back with his free right hand. "Don't worry, I've got ya covered."
"Oh, a little more to the left...yeah, right there...ah, that's so good~!" Sailor Moon moaned in delight.
"You're a strange one," Uranus noted with a chuckled.
"Huh?" Sailor Moon pondered. Sonic was curious was well.
"Sailor Moon...I used to think you were an an annoying nuisance, and that this blue creature..."
"Sonic," The blue blur corrected.
"...Sonic," Uranus added with an eye roll. "Was a potential threat, but being here with you two..." Suddenly, Sonic's ears twitched at the sound of footsteps, who belong to the Daimon duo. Ducking down, Uranus held Sailor Moon close to her chest, causing her to blush. Then, she picked up a familiar scent of cologne.
"This cologne scent...could it be?" Before she could figure out her identity, she was cut off when the twin Taiyans rushed at them. Sailor Moon, Sonic, and Uranus jumped out of the way in the nick of time, making the two Daimons ram through the boulder they were previously hiding behind. The Daimon duo made a U turn and headed their way.
"Okay, hang on tight!" Sonic warned them. ZOOM! The blue hedgehog zips out of the cave at high speeds, dragging Uranus and Sailor Moon along with them. While the Uranian soldier managed to regain her footing, Sailor Moon instantaneously lost hers due to them traveling at high speeds. Kaolinite, who was sitting on top of a tree, smirked as she watched the trio speed towards her.
"They've come out! Kill them!" She ordered. Hitting the breaks, Sonic, Moon, and Uranus turned to the duo who was charging at them wildly.
"Hey slowpokes! Over here!" The blue blur taunted. The trio jumped into the air, evading their attacks. The two tried attacking them again, only for them to miss once more. Frowning, Kaolinite noticed that the three were no longer squabbling with each other. Instead, they've reconciled and are working together.
"Their movements...they're much more in sync now compared to before." She noted with annoyed look. The two spun around, transforming into their sphere-like forms once more, shooting a ring of light at Sailor Moon, Uranus, and Sonic. Smirking, the trio simply lifted their arms in the air as the ring of light destroys the cuffs, freeing them.
"You fools!" Kaolinite barked at them. "How were they able to reconcile in such a short amount of time?!"
Grinning, Sonic curls into a tight ball and shoots himself forward like a bullet.
WHAM!
"AUGH!" The Taiyan clone cried as Sonic rammed into her, sending her flying back several feet. As she staggered onto her feet, she saw Sonic, who was still curled into a ball, circling around her at high speeds. As the blue blur began cranking up his speed, he created multiple after-images of himself that surrounded the Daimon, leaving her shocked and dumbfounded. With a panicked look on her face, Taiyan #2 whipped her head back and forth, struggling to keep up with Sonic's after-images before becoming dizzy, swirls in her eyes.
Kaolinite gritted her teeth at the display. From the corner of her eye, she saw Sailor Neptune getting out of the water, climbing onto a nearby boulder for support. She must've survived the fall.
"You're still alive, huh? Die!" Not wasting any time, she jumps from the tree top, readying to finish Neptune off. But before she could deal the killing blow...
BAM!
"GUHAH!" Cried Kaolinite when a blue blur suddenly slammed into her gut, which made her fall to the ground with a thud. Sitting up, she saw Sonic standing in front of her, wagging his finger at her while letting out a 'tsk tsk tsk'.
"This damned rat...!" Kaolinite thought, glaring darkly at the Mobian hedgehog.
"WORLD SHAKING!" Uranus shouted as she destroyed Taiyan's clone with her trademark attack. The original Taiyan was heading towards Sailor Moon, who was readying her attack as well.
"MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK~!" Sailor Moon shoots a powerful blast at the wheeled Daimon, who gaped in shock as her life was flashing before her very eyes.
"LOVELY~!" She shouts as she was being annihilated, transforming back into a motorcycle. The Daimon egg falls out of the motorcycle, cracking while releasing some faint purple smoke that was inside. The three heroes turn to look at Kaolinite, who shot them a dark glare, especially at Sonic.
"I'll get you for this...!" She spat coldly, vanishing into thin air.
Sonic chuckled. "Too easy, piece of cake."
Sailor Moon giggled a bit before turning to Uranus. "Looks like we did it, huh?"
"Yeah," Uranus nodded, smiling softly before her expression turned into more serious one. "I hold both of you in higher regard now, but I won't let anyone get in the way of our mission." Uranus said in a warning tone. The two watched as she jumps down to help Neptune. Lifting her head, Sailor Neptune saw Sailor Uranus kneeling down to her.
"Neptune..." Uranus spoke in concern.
Neptune gasped. "Uranus...why did you take such a risk to save me?"
Uranus shook her head. "I didn't. He's the one who saved you." She responded as they both looked up from the edge of the waterfall to see Sonic and Sailor Moon with their arms crossed, smiling as they looked down on them. Sailor Neptune let out a gasp as her eyes landed on the blue hedgehog, who was grinning at them.
"The creature?!" She questioned in shock, not expecting him to save her.
"He goes by the name Sonic," Uranus corrected with a smile. Sonic gave the two Outer Senshi a wink and a thumbs up, making them wave at him in return.
Sonic shifts his gaze to Uranus. "Hey!" he called out to her. "If you want a rematch, just let me know! I'll be waiting!"
Uranus stared at him before nodding, a confident smirk on her face. They watched as Sonic picked up Sailor Moon bridal style and vanished, leaving a blue streak.
Hiwaka Shrine/Minato ward/Azabu-jūban...
At the Hiwaka Shrine, where Makoto, Minako, Rei, and Ami were waiting for Usagi, the turn their heads upon hearing the door slide open to see Sonic entering while carrying the Odango-haired girl in his arms.
"Hey guys, we're back!" Sonic greeted, closing the door behind him and setting Usagi down gently.
"There you are Usagi-chan! We we're getting worried!" said Ami.
"Speak for yourself, she's always late." Rei huffed, causing Usagi to puff out her cheeks into a pout.
"It's not my fault I couldn't catch up to the bus," She grumbled, walking over to the group to sit down. Her eyes went when she recalled something that nearly slipped her mind. "Oh, that's right! I've got something to show you guys."
This peaked everyone's curiosity.
"What is it Usagi-chan?" Minako asked curiously. Grinning, she digs into her left jacket pocket and pulls out the purple gemstone, which was glowing brightly. Everyone gaped in shock, their eyes going wide.
"A Chaos Emerald!" Sonic thought in shock.
"Wow, it's so pretty~!" Minako and Rei squealed, their eyes sparkling in amazement.
"Its beautiful..." Ami muttered in awe.
"What is it?" Makoto asked excitedly.
"That's one of the seven Chaos Emeralds!" Sonic answered, earning puzzled looks from the Inner Senshi.
"Chaos Emeralds?" Minako parroted, tilting her head in confusion. "What are they?"
"The Chaos Emeralds are magical stones that can grant you all kinds of powers," Sonic explained. He then began listing the powers. "For starters, you can control both space and time, teleport, restore nature, and even bring back the dead."
"SO COOL~!" Usagi and Minako exclaimed excitedly in unison, eying the violet Chaos Emerald.
"That's amazing!" Ami said in awe.
"And Usagi's found one of e'm, so that means we've got six more to go," Sonic added. His expression then turns more serious. "Though if it's left in the wrong hands...things can get a little crazy."
This had earned worried looks from the Inner Senshi.
"What happens if they're in the wrong hands?" Rei asked worriedly. Sonic crosses his arms.
"Well...let's just say that you're planet wont last to long,"
Everyone's eyes went wide at this.
"WHAT?!"
"Back at home, Eggman's hellbent on searching for the Chaos Emeralds in order to create his evil empire," Sonic began. "If the Emeralds are here, then there's a good chance that he's here too."
"This is terrible!" Minako cried out in horror. "We've gotta find those emeralds before he does!"
"And if the new enemy finds one of them, who knows what they'll do with them!" Makoto added, equally horrified.
"But how will we find them?" Ami questioned. "They could be anywhere in the world."
"Hmm, you do have point there Ami-chan," Rei mutters. "For now, we need someone to guard this emerald."
Shooting up to her feet, Usagi holds the purple Chaos Emerald to her chest and gives out a salute.
"There's no need to fear! I will protect this Chaos Emerald with my life!" The Odango-haired girl declared. Everyone sweat drops at this.
"Oh no you don't!" Rei barked, snatching the emerald from Usgai's grasp. "Knowing you, you'd probably lose it! If anyone's gonna guard the Chaos Emerald it's gonna be me!"
"EH?!" The Odango-haired girl questioned before snatching the emerald back. "No way! It should be me!"
The raven-haired girls snatches it back. "No! It should be ME!"
They began playing tug-o-war with the Emerald.
"Me!"
"Me!"
"Me!"
"Me!"
"ME!"
"ME!"
Then, their argument became an all out brawl as a dust cloud forms around them.
"Oh dear, here they go again..." Ami sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Never a dull moment with those two." Makoto sighed, shaking her head in exasperation. Sonic just laughed nervously, rubbing the back of her head while sweat dropping. They've most certainly got their work cut out for them.
Later...
As soon it was night time, everyone went home. Rei was lying in her bed, sleeping peacefully with her raven black hair sprawled all over the mattress. She was also holding the Chaos Emerald close to her chest. Everyone voted that the raven-haired Miko should be the one to guard the Chaos Emerald, since they knew that Usagi would lose it, considering her clumsiness. Then, she grimaced and began tossing and turning as an image flashed through her mind. It showed the city being invaded by an army of killer robots. Innocent civilians were running for their lives and the city was being burned to the ground. But what she saw in her vision shocked her to the core. Sailor Moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Neptune, and Uranus were all...robots! Not only that, but they were the ones leading the robot army. The final thing she sees in her mind will haunt her for eternity. Standing in front of the flames was a tall, large, round yet imposing figure. It had deep blue eyes, a mustache, and a nightmarish grin etched on its face. It cackled evilly while fiddling with its mustached, watching the massacre with a sadistic gleam in its eyes.
"Muwahahahahahahaha...!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Upon hearing the figures laughter echo through her mind, Rei shot up awake, sitting up panting with beads of cold sweat rolling down her forehead. Her violet eyes darted all around the room as if she were trying to distinguish fantasy to reality. After calming down slightly, she looked down at her clammy, trembling hands.
"What was that dream that I was having...?" Rei murmured, albeit a bit fearfully.
