Chapter 6: Usagi's Crisis: Enter Tails

"SONIC-KUN! NO~!"

Usagi collapsed to her knees, fresh tears rolling down her cheeks. She couldn't believe it. Sonic had sacrificed himself to save not only her, but Tuxedo Mask as well. Kaolinite and Cenicienta just cackled at Usagi's face of anguish. With Sonic out of the way and her transformation brooch taken, she was completely powerless

"Finally," Kaolinite smirks darkly, turning to look at Sonic's glass encased body. "After all those humiliating defeats, I finally caught that damned hedgehog."

Tuxedo Mask glowers at Kaolinite, his fists clenched tightly with his lips morphed into an almost murderous scowl. He shot up and charged at her recklessly, raising his cane in an attempt to strike her.

"YOU BITCH!" He roared. Turning around, Cenicienta spews glass shards from her mouth at Tuxedo Mask, encasing his entire body in glass.

"TUXEDO MASK!" Usagi cried in anguish. First Sonic, now Tuxedo Mask?! It brought her utter dismay to see two of the people she cares about captured. When will this nightmare ever end?!

"Stop right there!"

Both Kaolinite and Cenicienta both turn to the sound of the familiar voices shouting. There, they saw the four Inner Senshi standing in the doorway, the latter glaring at her.

"The Sailor Senshi are here!"

Kaolinite smirks. "So you all came…" suddenly, both her and the Cenicienta start becoming transparent, much to everybody's shock and dismay.

"NO!"

"Usagi Tsukino, Sailor Senshi…" Kaolinite began. "If you want to save your beloved Tuxedo Mask and the hedgehog, come to Tokyo Tower!" her lips curl into a cruel smirk. "That is where you will die!"

Letting out an evil cackle, she and the glass Daimon vanish out of thin air.

"NO~!" Usagi yells in despair. "Mamo-chan! Sonic-kun!"

"Usagi-chan!"

Usagi's comrades rushed over to her side to check for any injuries. Up ahead, they all notice two shadowy figures appearing from behind the parking lot pillars. Sailor Mercury was the first to recognize them.

"Uranus and Neptune!"

"They're no doubt after Usagi-chan's pure heart," said Jupiter with noticeable venom in her voice.

"They're like vultures...!" Venus sneered. Usagi rose up to her feet and started running.

"Usagi-chan!" The four Inner Senshi called out to her.

"Usagi-chan! Wait!" Mercury yelled, making the Odango-haired girl stop in her tracks. "The enemy has probably set a trap! Since you're unable to transform, we need to come up with a plan!"

Usagi didn't answer, instead she looked at the ground in silence, her bangs covering her eyes. She's completely aware that what she's doing is reckless, but that didn't waver her determination to save Sonic and Tuxedo Mask from Kaolinite's clutches.

"I...I know...but..."

The image where Sonic pushes Tuxedo Mask out of the way and being crystalized played in her mind like a video tape. Not only that, but the memory of Tuxedo Mask getting captured played in her mind too. The fact that she wasn't able to do anything fills her heart with guilt and despair.

"Sonic-kun risked his life to save not only me, but Mamo-chan as well...and now...they're captured because of me!" Usagi lifts her head to look at them with tears threatening to spill from her eyes. "I have to go save them!"

Not wanting to waste any time, Usagi turns around and ran towards the exit, carrying her legs as fast as she could.

"USAGI-CHAN!" The four Inner Senshi yelled as they ran after her. Usagi kept running as fast as she could until a familiar car drove out in front of her. In the front seats were Haruka and Michiru.

"Haruka-san! Michiru-san!"

"Hey there, bun-head," Haruka greeted, giving out the peace sign. "What're you doing out here at this hour?"

"Please! Give me a lift Haruka-san!" Usagi pleaded in an urgent tone. The two Outer Senshi blink at her before nodding.

"Sure, hop in."

The second Usagi went into the backseat of her car and sat down, Haruka thrusts on the gas pedal, racing towards her destination.

VRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~!

Dust began to kick up as they drove off. It was that moment where Usagi's friends finally arrived and notices Haruka's moving vehicle.

"Usagi-chan!" They shouted in unison as they watched her friend being drove off to Tokyo Tower. Immediately, worry and anxiety began to overtake them. While they understood Usagi's reasons, she can't possibly rescue Sonic and Tuxedo Mask alone since she can't transform without her brooch.

"Oh, Usagi-chan..." Venus said worriedly. Sailor Mars balled up her fists out of anger and frustration, gritting her teeth

"That idiot, she's not using her head at all..." Her violet eyes burn like a raging forest fire. "WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT YOU CAN'T DO EVERYTHING BY YOURSELF?!"

Her shout was so powerful that it echoed through the streets. As they were racing down the hallway, Usagi looks down at her feet, sporting a look of sadness, anguish, and guilt. She was then snapped out of her sad thoughts by a kind, gentle voice.

"Usagi-chan."

"Huh?" Usagi snaps her attention to Michiru, who was smiling at her softly.

"Did you make up with your boyfriend yet?" She asked her.

"Oh...umm...uh..." Usagi stammers a bit, casting her gaze downwards before nodding weakly. "Y-Yeah..."

Michiru, noticing her sadness, looked at her with sympathy. Haruka kept her eyes locked on the road, her expression relatively dark and grim.

"Oi, bun-head..." She spoke out, catching Usagi's attention. "People are always sacrificing others to survive...don't you think?"

This question has caught Usagi off guard. Why would Haruka ask her such a question like that?

"W-What do you mean?" she questioned a bit nervously. Michiru turns around to look at her.

"Fore example, if someone you knew put themselves in danger to protect you..." her expression darkens. "That person will most likely want to keep you safe without any regard of their own life."

Hearing this caused Usagi's blood to freeze and her heart to stop.

"It may happen with your close friends or even your parents..." she continues. "Everyone survives by trampling on someone else."

They enter a tunnel, her car reflecting the lights from the ceiling. Usagi remained in silent, deep in thought. She recalled hearing similar words from Uranus and Neptune during their encounters. When it finally hit her, she lets out a gasp of shock, realization, and horror. Flashbacks of their encounters played in her head. Putting the pieces together, she discovered their true identities.

'No...t-they can't be! Haruka-san and Michiru-san are...!'

After exiting the tunnel, Michiru turns to Usagi, asking. "Don't you agree Usagi-chan?"

For a moment, Usagi didn't say anything. She kept staring at the two Outer Senshi in stunned silence. She felt torn at the question. Deep down, she knows what they're saying is true. But truth be told, she wouldn't want her loved ones put their lives on the line to protect her, especially since she watched them die trying to protect her during their final battle with Queen Beryl. Instead, she'd rather sacrifice herself to protect them. She doesn't want them put themselves in harms way because of her. Finally mustering up the courage to speak, she says.

"But...the people doing the trampling might be fine with that, but what about the people who are being trampled on?!" Usagi questioned, her voice slightly breaking. "Is it alright to ignore the people being sacrificed?! I can't let others suffer just so I can be saved!" tears began pricking her eyes. "I may not be able to do everything on my own, but if we work together, I'm sure we can find a way to handle things without any casualties!"

Michiru turns to her, smiling sadly. "You're such a kind girl..."

However, as they drive, they don't realize that they're being followed, as two of Eggman's drones are on their tails.

Eggman's hideout...

Meanwhile, at Eggman's hideout, the doctor was sitting in front of the monitor, watching the Sailor Senshi driving their way towards Tokyo tower with an evil grin on his face. He switches the video to the one where Sonic pushed Tuxedo Mask out of the way and was being encased in his glass prison.

"So, these so called 'Death Busters' managed to capture the hedgehog..." Eggman mused, stroking his mustache. "I'd like to know what their secret is, as well as their feud with the the other Sailor Senshi." the doctor lets out a dark chuckle. "I think getting a closer look is in order."

Eggman gets up from his chair and makes his way into the other section of his base, as a pair of doors open revealing his drones and robots building a colossal dragon-shaped robot.

"When the time's right, I'll unleash my first robot that I've secretly built in this world called 'Tokyo', and try and take over the city! Muwahahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Tokyo Tower...

When the trio finally arrived at Tokyo tower where Sonic and Tuxedo Mask were being held hostage, Usagi steps out of the car and turns to face the two Outer Senshi.

"You sure this is the place?" questioned Haruka.

"Yes...thank you very much," Usagi bows before turning to look up at Tokyo tower, a look of determination on her face.

'Sonic-kun...Mamo-chan...I'm coming!'

Haruka and Michiru both watch as the Odango-haired girl sprint towards Tokyo tower, anxiety and despair taking over them.

"Haruka..." Michiru spoke in a solemn tone. "Are you alright with this? She's...going to die."

The blond tomboy swallows a lump in her throat, beads of cold sweat running down her forehead and her eyebrows furrowed. Just the very thought of her dying worries her to no end.

"It...It can't be helped," She replied. "In order to get the holy grail, in order to save the world from the silence, bun-head needs to be sacrificed!" she slams her fist onto the windshield out of frustration. "DAMN IT!"

"Oh Haruka..." Michiru thought sympathetically.

Inside Tokyo Tower...

Once Usagi enters the building, the doors instantly shuts behind her and the security shutters drop, causing her to jump in alarm. Then out of the blue, she hears a familiar voice through the speaker.

"Welcome Usagi Tsukino! Now get in the elevator, I'll send you straight to heaven..."

Right at that moment, the elevator doors open for her to enter. Usagi swallows the lump in her throat before entering the elevator. Once she enters, she presses a button that would elevate he to the highest floor. Knowing that she has to face her foes, albeit in a helpless state, Usagi couldn't help but feel tense. The Odango-haired teen knew what she was getting herself into, she knew that she's powerless without her transformation brooch. But she didn't care. All she cared about was saving Sonic and Tuxedo Mask.

Outside Tokyo Tower...

Thankfully, Luna, Artemis, and the other Sailor Senshi have arrived at Tokyo Tower right at the nick of time. But unfortunately, they were having a difficult time entering the building. Jupiter grunts as she tries to pry open the security shutters.

"Ngh, it's no use! It won't budge!" The brunette backs up, cracking her knuckles. "Guess we have no choice but to break it down!"

Before Jupiter could even take a step forward, Sailor Mars stops her.

"No, don't! There's a powerful barrier placed in front of it!" The Martian solider coaxed. "We should use the stairs."

"That sounds like a better idea," Sailor Mercury agreed.

"Okay...let's go!" said Sailor Venus as she and the other girls turn around to take the stairs. But before Venus could move on, Luna called out to her.

"Wait Venus!" Venus looks down at the black feline. "Whether or not it goes well depends on you!"

The Sailor Senshi of Love stared at her in brief silence before nodding. "Okay!"

Inside Tokyo Tower...

Finally, Usagi makes it to the top floor where Kaolinite and Cenicienta were expecting her, the latter holding Tuxedo Mask and Sonic hostage.

"Tuxedo Mask! Sonic-kun!"

Kaolinite smirks. "Welcome...but if you come any closer, I'll smash these glass carvings into pieces." she warned.

"I don't care what happens to me! But please don't do anything to hurt Tuxedo Mask and Sonic-kun!" Usagi pleaded.

"Very well...Cenicienta!" Kaolinite ordered the Daimon with a snap of her fingers.

"Yes ma'am!" Coming forth, the Daimon flexes her right bicep, its black star appearing to blast a beam that pierced Usagi's chest. The Odangoh-haired teen screeches in the utmost pain and agony from the beam that was extracting her pure heart crystal. But she didn't care, all she cared for was Sonic and Tuxedo Mask's safety. Finally, her screams die down as the pure heart crystal was removed from her chest, floating towards Cenicienta's grasp. But before she could take it, a yellow blur came out of nowhere and took the pure heart in the blink of an eye.

"WHAT?!" both Kaolinte and Cenicienta cried out in shock. The two dart their eyes around the area and look to see Uranus and Neptune who are a few feet in front of them, each standing by Usagi's side.

"You two!" Kaolinite grunted in disdain. To make matters worse, the Uranian soldier had Usagi's pure-heart crystal in her grasp.

"Well?" Neptune pondered as she turned over to Uranus, who was inspecting the pure-heart crystal. Before she replied, the Outer Senshi of wind stared at the pure-heart from all sides for a few more seconds before gasping, her eyes going wide.

"This...this isn't it!" Uranus said in shock, realization, and bit of relief. "It's not a Talisman!"

Kaolinite's eyebrows furrow. "What?! It produces that much light yet it's not a Talisman?!" she exclaimed in disbelief and anger.

"That's impossible!" Cenicienta chimed in.

"It seems its brightness is an indicator of purity and has nothing to do with Talismans," Neptune surmised.

Hearing this has aroused a sigh of relief from Sailor Uranus, a relieved smile making way to her lips. She was glad that Usagi didn't posses one of the Talismans, if she did...it would result to her death.

"Guess we went through all this trouble for nothing, huh?" quipped Uranus. The Uranian soldier walks over to Usagi, gets down onto one knee, and returns her bright pure-heart crystal to her chest. Neptune knelt down to to check her condition.

"Are you alright?"

Regaining consciousness, Usagi groans as she cracks her eyes open, before gasping at the two Outer Senshi who are kneeling in front of her.

"You...you saved me...!" Usagi said in a stunned tone.

"It's good to have you back." Uranus implied with a small grin.

Kaolinite scoffs. Capturing Usagi may have been a waste of time, but that didn't matter to her anymore. She was still gonna take her life, even if she didn't have a Talisman.

"Hmph! Even if you didn't have a Talisman, I'm still going to take your life, Usagi Tsukino!" a malevolent smirk makes way to her lips. "Or should I say-!"

CRASH!

Before she could even finish her sentence, a yellow blur flew in and came crashing through the windows, making several glass shards fly everywhere.

"What the?!" Kaolinite questioned, shielding herself from the glass shards, with Uranus, Neptune, and Usagi doing the same.

"W-What's going on?!" questioned Usagi.

"Sonic! I'm here!" an unfamiliar voice spoke up. Once everyone lowered their arms, they all gasped at what they in mid-air was a young humanoid fox-kit, no older than 8 or 9, with yellow-orange fur while his muzzle and front torso are covered in white fur, sky blue eyes, and triangular ears with white canals and three locks of hair on his forehead. His attire consisted of white gloves and sneakers that are red from the heel to the middle, and white from the toe to the middle with gray soles. But what shocked her the most was that the fox kit had not one, but two bushy white-tipped tails that spun like helicopter blades to keep himself afloat.

"A FLYING TWO-TAILED FOX?!" Usagi thought in shock and disbelief as she watched the fox descending from the air to the ground.

"WHAT?! Another one of those damned animals?!" Cenicienta exclaimed in a mixture of shock and annoyance. Kaolinite kept her eyes on the fox kit, her arms crossed and eyes narrowed.

'Hmm...so this is the two-tailed fox the Professor's warned me about...'

"So, I assume that you're an ally of the blue hedgehog, correct?" Kaolinite bemused.

"That's right!" The fox kit nodded. "My name's Tails, and I came here to look for him!"

Kaolinite chuckled darkly at this. "I'm afraid you are too late fox brat," she jerks her thumb to her right. "Take a look!"

Following the direction to where she was pointing, he gasps when he sees Sonic's frozen body encased in a glass prison.

"SONIC!" Tails cried. He glares at the two Daimons who were laughing. "What did you do to Sonic?!"

"Oh, it's quite simple, really," Kaolinite began, smirking cruelly. "That damned rat kept getting in the way of our plans, so we had no other choice but to take him out of the picture!"

Both her and the jaded-colored glass Daimon erupt in laughter. Tails glowers at the two, growling with his fists clenched tightly and his twin-tails bristling out of anger.

"And now with you here, you're going to suffer the same fate as him, Tuxedo Mask, and Usagi Tsukino," she turns to Usagi, smirking. "Or should I call you, Sailor Moon?!"

All of the color left Usagi's skin upon hearing this, her blood running cold. It was bad enough that Kaolinite discovered her identity, now she exposed her in front of Uranus and Neptune.

"WHAT?!" The two Outer Senshi turned to Usagi, gaping at her in shock. "You're Sailor Moon?!"

'Oh no, oh no, oh no! This is bad! Not only does she know my identity, but Uranus and Neptune know as well!'

"Stop! She's not Sailor Moon!"

All pairs of eyes follow the source of the voice and saw a group of shadowy figures.

"And just who are you supposed to be?" questioned Kaolinite.

"Not only you chase after an innocent girl's pure-heart, but you mistake her for me?! I'm outraged!"

'N...No way...!'

"In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"

The female shadowy figure saying these lines walked out of the shadows with her comrades following. She was dressed up like Sailor Moon, but in a much cheaper fashion. Her eye color is similar to Usagi's, with their hair color being identical; but a glaring difference were the flowing pigtails. It didn't take too long for Usagi to put two and two together. Her eyes go wide once realization hit her.

"IS...IS THAT MINAKO-CHAN?!" Usagi thought, her jaw dropping. Standing behind Minako, otherwise known as fake Sailor Moon, were Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Luna, and Artemis. Shortly, their eyes land on the two-tailed fox, who gaped at them with his eyes wide as saucers and mouth agape.

"Uhhh..." was all Tails could muster. Out of the blue, Jupiter and Minako began squealing with hearts in their eyes.

"SO CUTE~!"

Without warning, the two girls scoop up up and hugs him tightly, snuggling him to death.

"He's so soft and fluffy~!" Minako swooned.

"I just wanna cuddle him forever~!" Jupiter cooed.

GIRLS! FOCUS!" Sailor Mars, Artemis, and Luna barked at the two, throwing them back on track and making them blush, clearing their throats as they released the two-tailed fox kit, who gasped for air.

"So, you're supposed to be Sailor Moon?" Kaolinite bemused with disbelief lacing her voice. Minako looked affronted at the question.

"What?! You've got a problem with my perfect-mmmph?!"

Sailor Jupiter and Mars quickly cut her off by placing their hands over her mouth.

"She's the real deal!"

"We guarantee it!" Mercury chimes in with a hint of embarrassment in her tone.

Cenicienta narrowed her eyes at them. "But if you're Sailor Moon..." she points to Usagi. "Then who's that girl?!"

Minako shrugs carelessly. "I have no clue! Maybe she's one of my fans!"

"Sh-She's too much of a klutz and a crybaby to be a Sailor Senshi!" Mars added, albeit nervously.

"Tha-That's right!" Jupiter agreed, nodding rapidly.

"Am...am I missing something here?" Tails thought, gawking at the Inner Senshi with his right eye twitching.

"So she's a fake?!" Kaolinite thought, seething with anger as she clutched Usagi's transformation brooch tightly.

"In order to be a Sailor Senshi, you need to be smart, cool, and good-looking like me!" Minako went on.

"VENUS IS JUST SAYING WHATEVER SHE WANTS!" Usagi screeched internally, her face bright red out of anger and embarrassment.

"This has been quite a farce," Uranus commented in amusement as she stood up, with Neptune doing the same.

"We shall be taking our leave," Neptune said as she and Uranus began to leave. But Kaolinite wouldn't allow it.

"You're not going anywhere!"

After Kaolinite barked this statement, a chain of explosions tore through the walls and ceilings of the building, causing the roof to collapse and sending several glass shards flying everywhere.

"WHOA!" Tails exclaimed as he jumped out of the way to dodge some of the rubble that threatened to crush him.

Kaolinite smirks at this, feeling that she had her enemies cornered. "I'm going to take my time with you.." she said with noticeable bloodlust dripping in her voice. The two Outer Senshi both narrowed her eyes at the crimson-haired Daimon.

"There's no need to stay here. Let's go, Neptune!" Uranus commanded.

"Right!"

Neptune and Uranus jumped away from the area and towards the roof. Kaolinite chuckles, believing their efforts to be futile.

"You won't get away." The crimson-haired Daimon glanced at the brooch before angrily throwing it to the ground.

"Ceinicienta! You take care of Sailor Moon, the fox brat, and the other Sailor Senshi!"

"As you wish!" The jade-colored glass Daimon replied. Shortly, after Kaolinite vanishes, Tails and the four Inner Senshi got into battle stances to ready themselves for their battle with Cenicienta. Sailor Mars was side-glancing at Tails with curiosity in her violet eyes.

'What can this little fox possibly do?'

With Uranus, Neptune, and Kaolinite...

Meanwhile outside of Tokyo Tower, Uranus and Neptune surrounded Kaolinite on the rooftops from above, staring her down. The crimson-haired Daimon smirked at them.

"Guess we have no other choice," Uranus began. "If you insist on settling things here..."

"...we accept your challenge!" Neptune finished, her eyes narrowed. Kaolinite's smirk grew wider.

"How long will you be able to keep talking like that?"

Back Inside Tokyo Tower...

Cenicienta charges at the fox, raising her sword and preparing to vertically slash an airborne Tails, who simply swerves out of the way and dodged the attack. Narrowing her eyes, she began to unleash a barrage of slashes at the flying two-tailed fox, who kept dodging all of the slashes with relative ease. Evading the last slash, Tails rises higher into the air and blows a raspberry at the jade-colored glass Daimon, sparking her ire. Not only was the fox kit toying with her, but he is also taunting her as well.

'HOW DARE HE MOCK ME?!'

Letting out an angry cry, Cenicienta spews glass shards at the airborne fox kit, only for him to swerve to his right. However, the jade-colored glass Daimon proceeded to follow Tails with the torrent of shards, leading the two-tailed fox to fly away from it to continuously dodge it. Her attack was beginning to turn the walls around them into glass, and the Inner Senshi, who were nearly caught in the blast, rolled out of the way to dodge it. The fox turns his head to blow another raspberry at her, invoking her wrath further.

'THIS DAMNED FOX!'

While Cenicienta was distracted, Minako, otherwise known as fake Sailor Moon, took this opportunity to attack and leaps in with a flying kick.

"Sailor Kick!"

CLANK!

"AUGH!" Cenicienta cried when the blonde's heel connected with her chin. Once she was knocked to the ground, her arm had broken off. "AAH! My arm! My arm!"

While she was busy panicking, Tails dove in after her and starts performing a 360° spin. "This is for Sonic!" he shouted. Once he was close enough, he lashed out his twin tails at the jade-colored glass Daimon with such force that it sent her top half flying several feet back.

"AAAAAAAAAAH~! NOT BY BODY TOO!" Cenicienta shrieks in horror. However, the Daimon suddenly realized something, she pulls out an envelope that had information about an insurance policy. It read: "We shall replace any damage goods."

"Why would anyone even carry that around?!" Tails thought with a sweat drop.

Cenicienta let out a sigh of relief. "Thank Kami-sama I have a warrant," she glares at the blond and the fox. "You ruffians! How dare you be so rough with me?!"

Tails and Minako glare at her back. "Like you have any room to talk!" The two-tailed fox shot back. Minako then leaps into the air and unleashes a familiar attack.

"SPECIAL ATTACK! LOVE ME MOON CHAN~!"

Usagi's eye twitches. "THAT'S NOT A SAILOR MOON MOVE!" She bellowed with plate eyes and shark teeth.

"Usagi!"

Usagi looks down to see Luna running towards her with her transformation brooch in her mouth. The black feline places it down in font of her and says.

"There's no time to lose! Transform, quickly!"

Usagi stares down at her before nodding. "Right! MOON COSMIC POWER MAKE UP~!"

The Odango-haired teen lifts her Cosmic Heart Compact into the air and waves her hand past it, making it reveal a heart-shaped crystal. It starts emitting a pink light. After the pink light fades, Usagi is standing in the middle of a light blue heart. She spins around in the opposite direction its spinning. Pink ribbons wrap around her body, forming her leotard. Them she stretches out her arms and pink ribbons wrap around her arms to form her gloves. She then raises her right foot and pink ribbons wrap around her foot to form her boots. Then, the light blue heart encircling her forms her skirt, and her tiara appears on her forehead. Finally, striking a finishing pose, she became Sailor Moon.

"Wow..." Tails whispered in awe at the transformation.

"WHAT?!" Cenicienta shouted in shock and disbelief. "You were the real Sailor Moon all along?!"

"That's right!" Sailor Moon nodded in affirmation. "The real deal's the best! I am the trendy, beautiful, and cool guardian in a Sailor suit! I am Sailor Moon!"

"Some how, I have a sneaking suspicion that they do this a lot," Tails thought deadpanned.

"In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!" Moon finished with a pose.

The jade-colored glass Daimon grits her teeth in frustration. "Damn it!" She cursed.

Wasting no time, Sailor Moon whips out her Spiral Heart Rod and flips it around her body multiple times. Then, she spins around and raises her Heart Rod into the air, shouting.

"MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK~!"

Cenicienta stands there frozen as she watches the blast hurling towards her. "You liar!" She shouts before the blast hits her.

"LOVELY~!" Those were her final words when the blast finally struck her. She returned to being Usagi's glass slipper. The Daimon egg emerged from inside of the glass hell, then cracked itself open to release a malicious puff of smoke leaving behind the broken shell. Then, Sonic and Tuxedo Mask's glass prison disappeared and they both fell to the ground on their knees.

"Ugh...man, what the heck happened?" Sonic groaned, holding his head.

"SONIC!"

The blue hedgehog lifts his head to see Tails flying towards him. Sonic's eyes lit up, a wide grin spreading across his muzzle.

"Tails!" The Mobian hedgehog catches the little two-tailed fox and pulls him into a warm, brotherly embrace.

"I'm so glad that you're okay..." Tails whispers, hugging his older brother figure. The blue hedgehog chuckles and ruffles his hair, causing him to laugh.

"Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Moon cried as she ran over to Tuxedo Mask and flung her arms around him. "Thank goodness! Mamo-chan...I'm so glad...!"

Fresh tears streamed down the Odango-haired teens cheeks as she snuggles closely to her boyfriend's chest. She successfully rescued not only Sonic, but her lover as well, with the help of Tails and the Inner Senshi.

"Usako..." Tuxedo Mask whispered as his girlfriend sobs into his chest.

"Mamo-chan!" Moon wailed. Tuxedo Mask wraps her arms around her and rubs soothing circles on her back, letting her know that everything is okay now.

With Kaolinite, Uranus, and Neptune...

Kaolinite almost instantly sensed the demise of Cenicienta; the crimson-haired Daimon narrowed her eyes as she was still surrounded by Uranus and Neptune.

'Cenicienta...was defeated!'

"WORLD SHAKING~!" Uranus bellowed, lifting her arm into the air to form a yellow energy sphere and slams it into the ground, sending it hurling towards her opponents. However, Kaolinite jumps into the air, dodging the blast with little effort. Then, she blocks an incoming jab from Uranus, followed by a roundhouse kick. The two engage in a scuffle, throwing and parrying flurries of punches, kicks, elbow strikes, and knee strikes. When they both landed back onto the ground, Uranus suddenly coughed up some blood and held her left rib cage. She also came out with a couple of bruises on her body, a black eye, and a busted lip.

'Damn it! She must've got me in my ribs!'

"Uranus!" Neptune cried out in concern.

"Don't let your guard down Neptune!" The Uranian soldier warned her. "She's pretty strong!"

Kaolinite chuckles darkly. 'Hurry on over here, Sailor Senshi...and be sure to bring the blue rat and fox brat with you...'

Inside Tokyo Tower...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Out of the blue, a series of explosions occurred from inside the building, catching Sonic, Tails, Tuxedo Mask, and the Sailor Senshi off guard.

"Aah!" Screamed Tails. "What's going on?!"

"What the?!" Sonic exclaimed.

"Above us!" said Sailor Mars.

Sailor Moon's eyes go wide when she realized something. Uranus and Neptune had left to go face Kaolinite alone and she had no doubt that the crimson-haired Daimon was behind this.

"That's right! Everyone! We have to save Uranus and Neptune!" Moon said in a pleading tone. The other Sailor Senshi send her an incredulous look.

"What?! Why?!" Questioned Minako.

"Let them fend for themselves!" Jupiter chimed in. Why should they help the Outer Senshi when all they did was stayed in the shadows and stealing other's pure-hearts? Sailor Moon shakes her head in protest.

"We can't do that! And besides, they saved me!" She pointed out. "They're not bad people!"

"Usagi's right," Sonic spoke up. "I don't exactly agree with the way they do things, but they're not as bad as you think. This is our chance to stop the new enemy for good."

The Sailor Senshi stared at both Sonic and Sailor Moon in silence. They weren't too keen on helping the two Outer Senshi due to their shady behavior, attacking Jupiter, and stealing innocent people's pure-hearts. But if they don't help them stop Kaolinite, who knows what could happen.

"Alright, then its settled!" Minako spoke up. "Let's do what we can to help them!"

Sailor Moon approached Venus before anyone could get a move on.

"However Minako-chan, before we go, I have one request..." She places her hands on the blonde's' shoulders with an embarrassed expression, comical tears running down her cheeks. "As much as I appreciate the help, could you PLEASE change out of that disguise?"

Sonic raises an eyebrow. "THAT'S supposed to be a disguise?"

Minako blinks at her. "Huh? Why? Is there something wrong with it? I even asked Luna for a transformation pen to get it just right."

"I wouldn't say you got the look right, it's a miracle that the Villain even fell for it." Tails thought, sweat dropping.

With Uranus, Neptune, and Kaolinite...

Uranus and Neptune both jump out of the way to evade Kaolinite's thick, massive locks that lashed out like a giant whip.

"Damn it!" Uranus cursed, landing on her feet. Suddenly, Kaolinite felt a weight plop onto her head.

"Urgh! What the hell?!" She grunted in annoyance.

"Hey red, ya missed me?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, she turns around and saw Sonic standing behind her sporting his usual cocky grin, with Tails flying right next to him to support him.

"And don't forget us too!" A female voice chimed in. They look up to see the Inner Senshi, accompanied by Tuxedo Mask, standing on the scaffolding while staring down Kaolinite from above.

"I won't let you blow up this tower that delivers fun TV shows to living rooms all across the country!" Moon monologued. "In the name of the viewers..."

"...We'll punish you!" the other Inner Senshi finished.

Tails sweat drops and whispers to Sonic. "Do they...always do this?"

Sonic chuckles sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "Buddy, you have NO idea..."

"I knew you'd come." Kaolinite smirked as she watched Tuxedo Mask and the Inner Senshi drop in to support Uranus, Neptune, Sonic, and Tails.

"So, what now?" Mars spoke up, narrowing her eyes. "Are you going to run away like you usually do?"

The crimson-haired Daimon merely chuckled in response, much to the confusion of our heroes.

"Why do you think I called all of you here?"

Sonic raised an eyebrow at this. "What is she talkin' about?"

Then, Kaolinite pulls out something that earned collective gasps from Sonic, Sailor Moon, and Tuxedo Mask.

"That's my glass slipper!" Moon exclaimed in shock.

"Now, listen very carefully..." Kaolinite began, pulling out a glass baster that carried some sort of pink liquid. "This Daimon's culture solution is something I developed on own," she breaks the tip of the baster, allowing the liquid to flow all over Usagi's glass slipper. "If I combine it with this..." the glass heel morphs into a sword. "Then the same powers as Cenicienta...WILL BE MINE!"

With that last statement, Kaolinite swung the sword, sending numerous glass shards towards her enemies.

"WATCH OUT!" Sonic shouted as he, Tails, Tuxedo Mask, and the other Inner Senshi jumped to evade the attack while Sailor Moon pushed Uranus out of the way.

"Seven glass statues of the Sailor Senshi and two glass statues of the blue rat and the fox..." Kaolinite smirks sadistically. "...the Professor will be impressed."

Sailor Moon gasps upon noticing Uranus' injuries. "Uranus! You're injured!"

"Don't worry," Uranus grunted, getting onto one knee. "This is nothing!"

Moon shakes her head in protest and says. "Leave this to us and get out of here!"

The Uranian soldier narrowed her eyes. "What?"

Kaolinite laughs maniacally. "What's the matter? It's no fun if you're just standing around!"

The crimson-haired Daimon swung her sword once more and launched another torrent of glass shards, only this time aiming at the support beams from above. Some of the construction girders started to collapse, forcing everyone to flee to avoid getting crushed.

"Hurry! Go while you still can!" Tails ordered the two Outer Senshi.

"But-"

"Don't worry about us! We'll take care of things from here," Sonic told them.

"And you weren't able to find a Talisman, so there's no reason for you to be here!" Jupiter pointed out, her eyes narrowed in disdain. Finally giving in and letting their wise words sink in, Uranus stands up and turns to Neptune.

"Let's go, Neptune," Neptune turns to her, puzzled. "They're sacrificing themselves for us. Let's take them up on their offer."

"I said I wouldn't let you escape!" Shouted Kaolinite as her golden bracelet began flashing with light. All of a sudden, a green force field appeared and surrounded the entire area.

"What?!"

"Oh no!" Sailor Moon gasped.

"There's nowhere to run now," Kaolinite sneered. "Are you ready to die?"

Sonic scoffs. "As if!" he turns to Tails. "You ready Tails?"

Tails nods in affirmation. "Ready!"

The duo began curling into tight balls, spinning rapidly before shooting themselves forward towards Kaolinite like bullets. Unfortunately, they collided with a green force field that Kaolinite surrounded herself with. The two were sent flying back and crashed into the force field that surrounded the area, which shocked them with green lightning before falling to the ground with a thud, charred to a crisp.

"Sonic-kun! Tails!" Moon cried out as she rushed over to their side. "Are you okay?"

Sonic groans, sitting up while letting out a few coughs. "Yeah...just peachy..."

Tails coughs out puffs of smoke, sitting up while groaning in pain from the electrical shocks . "Yeah, we'll live."

"She must've put up a powerful shield to surround herself," Mercury surmised.

"It's dangerous to stay in one place!" said Venus. "We need to scatter!"

"No! We must stay together!" Mercury rebuked.

"Is there a way to break through the force field?!" asked Sailor Moon her.

Mercury nods. "The Sailor Planet attack is the only thing that will break through the force field!"

Sonic and Tails look up at her. "Sailor Planet Attack?" The blue hedgehog inquired.

"What's that?" Tails questioned.

"It is one of our most powerful attacks that require all five of us to perform it together," Mars replied. "But in this case, we'll be defeated before we could even gather enough power!"

Kaolinite takes this opportunity to go in for the killing blow. "This is the end of the-!"

POW!

Before she could slice everyone into minced meat, Sonic instantly appeared in front of her and kicks her hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and sending her flying back. She lets out a cry of pain when her back crashed into one of the support beams, leaving behind a dent in it and falls roughly to the ground. Weakly lifting her head up, Kaolinite gasps, her eyes widening when she saw Sonic glowering at her with a fiery, protective gaze, his emerald green eyes burning like a raging wildfire. She'd never seen him with such a fierce look before, in contrast to his usual cheery grin.

"You ain't killin' anyone on my watch!" Sonic declared. "From now on, I'M your opponent!"

Kaolinite was left shocked by the blue blur's fierce declaration. Tails runs over by Sonic's side.

"I'll fight too Sonic!"

The blue speedster turns to his younger brother figure, smirking while nodding in approval.

"Okay, let's do this!"

The duo fists bumps each other as they shifted their attention back to Kaolinite, who was rising back up to her feet with her head hung low, allowing her bangs to cover her eyes.

"Very well...but just to let you know..." Kaolinite lifts her head up and sends the two a murderous glare, her eyes filled with rage and bloodlust. "...YOU'VE BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELVES!"

Letting out a blood curdling battle cry, the crimson-haired Daimon charges at Sonic and Tails, the latter charging back at her. The three engage in an intense scuffle, moving at such speeds that they seem almost invisible to the naked eye and you could only see the shockwaves. As they were fighting, the Inner Senshi gathered around and held each other's hand, charging their attack.

"MOON COSMIC POWER..."

"...MARS STAR POWER..."

SLASH!

Sonic bends backwards and Tails swerves to the right to evade a sword slash from Kaolinite.

"...MERCURY STAR POWER..."

BAM! THWACK!

Sonic blocks and parries Kaolinite's kicks with his own.

"...JUPITER STAR POWER..."

BOOSH! BAM!

Kaolinite's eyes go wide and bloodshot when Sonic launches a homing attack directly to her solar plexus.

"...VENUS STAR POWER..."

WHACK!

Then Tails delivers a Tail Swipe to her back, nearly breaking her spine and making her gasp in pain as she was sent barreling forward.

"Oof!" Kaolinite grunted as tumbled across the ground.

"Now, girls!" Sonic shouted.

"SAILOR PLANET ATTACK~!" Shouting in unison, a bright colorful energy blast was fired at Kaolinite, who weakly lifts her head up only to gasp in horror when she sees the blast heading towards her. The crimson-haired Daimon screeched in agony once the blast hits her directly. Everyone shielded their eyes from the bright flash of light.

"Did they get her?" Sonic pondered, lowering his arms. However, to his and everyone else's shock and horror, Kaolinite survived the attack. She had numerous bruises and scratches on her body, and her dress had tears in it as well. Smirking, Kaolinite gets onto one knee and uses her sword as a cane to support herself up.

"It looks like you've used up all your power in that attack!" She sneered.

"No way!" Mercury exclaimed in shock.

"She survived that?!" Tails questioned.

"You gotta be kiddin' me!" Sonic yelled in frustration. As the two Outer Senshi watched, Usagi's words began echoing in Uranus' mind.

"But...the people doing the trampling might be fine with that, but what about the people who are being trampled on?! If we work together, I'm sure we can find a way to handle things without any casualties!"

"DIE!" Kaolinite let out a battle cry and fired another torrent of glass shards from her sword, only for the attack to be canceled out.

"WORLD SHAKING~!" Uranus bellowed as she fired her attack and completely canceling out Kaolinite's. Once her attack struck Kaolinite, the crimson-haired Daimon gasped in horror as she watched her own attack being sent back at her. She panicked as her body was slowly being encased in a glass prison. Tails, Tuxedo Mask, the Inner Senshi, and Sonic watched in shock.

"N-No...this can't be happening! PROFESSOR~!" Those were her last words before her body was completely frozen.

"Holy..." Mars began.

"...fuck." Jupiter finished. Looking up, Tails gasped when he saw some of the gliders falling down to where Sonic and Kaolinite are standing.

"SONIC! LOOK OUT!"

"Huh?" Sonic questioned, looking up only to gasp when he sees the gliders falling down. He quickly jumps to the other side were the other's are standing. Once the gliders hit the floor, it collapses below Kaolinite who was still frozen, inevitably sending her falling to her death. Everyone looked down below where Kaolinite fell to her terrible demise.

"She-she did it," stammered a shocked Sailor Moon.

"Yeah..." muttered Mercury. In the midst of all this, Sailor Mars noticed that Uranus and Neptune were no longer present.

"Where are Uranus and Neptune?!" Her question catches the other's attention as they turn to see the two Outer Senshi were gone.

"I wonder what made them save us at the very end..." pondered Jupiter.

Both Sonic and Sailor Moon stare at the spot where Uranus and Neptune were previously standing. They expected them to disappear, but they never thought that they would save them. A smile made way to the hedgehog's muzzle.

'I knew they had a heart'

Eggman's Lair...

Back at Eggman's lair, the mad scientist was watching the entire fight on his monitor. He hummed in amusement as he watched the five Inner Sensi performing Sailor Planet Power, one of their most powerful attacks. While the attack wasn't enough to finish off Kaolinite, it still did some damage.

"I think it's about time I finally made my move," Smirking, Eggman gets up from his seat and makes his way towards a dark, mysterious room. Once he enters the room, he glances upwards and says.

"Arise Devastator, arise! Show those Loli-harlots and that damned hedgehog your ultimate power!"

As soon as he made that statement, a pair of blood red, slitted eyes flashed in the dark room.

Back at Tokyo Tower...

BOOM!

Everyone was startled by the sound of a loud , thunderous explosion that shook all of Tokyo to it's core.

"GAH!" Sailor Moon cried in alarm, falling backwards in panic.

"W-What the hell?!" exclaimed Jupiter.

"What was that?!" questioned Venus. They all turned and looked down to see one of the buildings smoldering in flames. Not only that, but they saw many of the city's inhabitants fleeing in a frenzied panic.

"W...What's going on...?" Mercury muttered. Suddenly, a new sound boomed forth. One that made their heart stop.

GRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR~!

An earsplitting roar that filled the air with dread, which was so powerful that it made the city tremble and tore through their ear drums, prompting them to cover their ears to keep themselves from going deaf.

"What's happening?!" asked a terrified Sailor Moon. Could it be another Daimon attack? Later, they all uncovered their ears and opened their eyes, however, as soon as they did, they froze. Rampaging through the city was a gargantuan, dragon-like robot firing several missiles. It had red, blade-edged scales stronger than any metal allow, blade-like claws that are sharp enough to cut through almost anything, a long tail strong enough to crack a mountain into two, horns that gleamed in the moonlight, fangs as large as swords, and blood red eyes that blazed like a raging forest fire. It also had a rocket launcher on its shoulders, followed by wings that dominated the night skies. Narrowing their eyes, Sonic and Tails recognized its design almost instantly.

"So I was right..." Sonic whispered, his eyebrows furrowed. "...he IS here."

Tuxedo Mask and the Inner Senshi turn to look at him in bewilderment.

"W-What are you talking about? Who's here?" Sailor Moon asked.

"Eggman..."

The very moment Tails said his name, their eyes go wide in shock and horror, their bodies stiffening. However, no one looked more shocked, and horrified, than Sailor Mars. Her skin went pale and her eyes are wide as saucers, with some cold sweat dripping down her chin.

'He's...he's here...?'

Mars was then snapped out of her thoughts when she saw Sonic jumping down the building and heading towards the dragon-like robot.

"SONIC!" Tuxedo Mask and the Inner Senshi cried out.

"SONIC! WAIT UP!" Shouted Tails as he spun his twin-tails and swooped down after Sonic. Falling down, the blue hedgehog curls into a ball and starts spinning rapidly, his quills bristling and hardening so that they can penetrate through the robot's armor. Then, once he hits the ground, he launches himself towards the gargantuan robot at hypersonic speeds. However...

CLANK!

"AUGH!" The Mobian hedgehog cried as he bounced off the robot and crashed into the road, his body creating a small crater. Groaning, Sonic sits up, shakes his head and places a hand on it. Looking upwards, he noticed that his attack didn't do any damage to the robot's armor.

"Shoot! Not even a scratch!"

"Sonic!" Looking to his left, he saw Tails flying over to to him with a look of worry on his face.

"You okay?" The two-tailed fox asked him.

Sonic hops back to his feet and says. "Yeah, I'll-" he chokes on his words when he snaps his head upwards. "TAILS! HEADS UP!"

"Huh?" Turning around, Tails gasps when he saw Devastator launching a barrage of missiles at the duo. They both managed to dodge most of them, with Sonic using his super speed and agility and Tails flying in the air doing loop de loops. However, one of the missiles hit Sonic, sending him flying.

BOOM!

"SONIC!"

BOOM!"

"AUGH!" The fox kit cried out in pain when one of the missiles hit him that sent him flying and skidding against the road. Both him and Sonic were lying on the ground, bruised and battered and breathing heavily.

Eggman's Lair...

Eggman, who was watching the fight from his lair, lets out a dark, sinister chuckle at seeing his enemies fallen.

"Looks like your time is up hedgehog and fox boy," a sadistic grin crept up to his face "Devastator! Finish them off!"

With Sonic & Tails...

Devastator launched another barrage of missiles at the speedy hedgehog and twin-tailed fox kit. The two clenched their eyes shut, bracing themselves for the impact. But then, flashes of yellow and aqua blue swooped in and grabbed them, carrying them to safety and making the missiles hit the road.

KA-BOOM!

Slowly opening their eyes, they were both shocked to see who their saviors were

"It's you!" Sonic exclaimed. Their saviors were none other than the two Outer Senshi, Uranus and Neptune. The soldier of Uranus looks down at Sonic with a frown on her face.

"And you say that I'm stubborn," Uranus scoffed, putting him down.

"Are you alright, little one?" Neptune asked the two-tailed fox, who continued to gape at her with wide eyes.

"Y-Yeah, I-I'm okay..." replied a stunned Tails.

Sailor Neptune smiles at him warmly, putting him down. "I'm glad."

"Why did you save me?" The blue blur asked the Uranian soldier, who cracked a smile.

"Well, someone once told me that I need to get my head out of my ass and let others help me," her expression changes into a serious one. "So tell me, why'd you do the same as me?"

Sonic lowers his gaze, gritting his teeth and clenching his fist. "Because I made a promise..." he began. "An old enemy from my world wants to not only take over your world, but target the one's I care about," the hedgehog looks up at her, his emerald green eyes blazing with tenacity. "And I won't let that happen!"

Uranus looked down at the Mobian hedgehog, genuinely speechless. This is the second time she's seen him so...serious. She'd never took him for the serious type as he was usually care free, cocky, mischievous, and brash. His determination was definitely something to admire. Before Uranus could say anything, they heard someone shout.

"YOU GET AWAY FROM THEM RIGHT NOW!"

They turn to see the Inner Senshi, who are accompanied by Luna and Artemis approaching them, with Jupiter charging at the two Outer Senshi, fully intent on attacking them. Sonic and Tails quickly jumps out in front if them and held their hands out.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! It's okay! It's okay!" Sonic exclaimed. "Calm down!"

"They don't mean any harm," said Tails. "They saved us!"

Hearing this caused them to look at the two Outer Senshi in shock and back to Sonic and Tails,

"They...they saved you?" Mars asked in disbelief.

Before they could answer, they saw Devastator launching a volley of missiles at them.

"LOOK OUT!" Tails shouted, causing the Inner Senshi, Luna, and Artemis to look back and gasps when they see the missiles zeroing in on them. Thinking quickly, they jumped backwards to evade the missiles, which hit the ground.

KA-BOOM!

"Phew, close one..." Jupiter sighs in relief.

"So, I'm guessing this is one of Eggman's creations?" Sailor Mars mused, her violet eyes locked on the Dragon-like robot that circled above them like a Vulture.

"Yeah, no doubt about it," Sonic nodded, his eyes narrowed. "Eggman's constructed the most powerful robot I've ever scene, it's going to take all of us to take it down."

Upon hearing this statement, Luna and Artemis turn to look up at the blue hedgehog in shock.

"That's impossible! I mean, the girls have taken on giant monsters before, but giant robots?! Don't you know how crazy that sounds?!" Luna shouted.

"We may not have a choice," Tuxedo Mask pointed out. "If we don't stop this thing, it could destroy the entire city!"

Everyone nods in agreement to that statement.

"Mercury, any thoughts?" Mars asked Mercury, who lowered her visor scanner and began scanning the robot.

"Hmm, my scans show that it's made from a very dense metal alloy." The Mercurian soldier surmised.

Jupiter smirks as she cricks her neck. "Well then, let's get too it!" She brings her hands together and starts gathering lightning from her Tiara. "SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE~!"

The other begin unleashing their attacks as well.

"BURNING MANDALA~!"

"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION~!"

"CRESCENT BEAM~!"

"DEEP SUBMERGE~!"

"WORLD SHAKING~!"

"MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK~!"

"TUXEDO LA SMOKING BOMBER~!"

All of their attacks struck Devastator. But much to their shock and horror, their attacks barely did any damage.

"WHAT?!" Sailor Neptune gasped, horrified.

"Impossible!" said Sailor Uranus in disbelief.

"I don't understand! We've hit that overgrown hunk of metal with everything we got!" exclaimed Jupiter. Sailor Mercury touches one of her earrings to make her visor scanner appear and uses it to scan and make another analysis of Devastator.

"Okay, the robot's armor is 10x stronger than normal metal, so our conventional powers won't work on it."

"Tell us something we don't know." said Sonic, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"I'm also detecting an energy reading in its center, it's powerful energy is similar to one of the Chaos Emeralds!"

Everyone, except Uranus and Neptune, were all shocked by her statement.

"So THAT'S why our attacks didn't work!" said Tails. "Eggman's using a Chaos Emerald as the robot's power source!"

Sonic furrowed his eyebrows. "Damn it! Should've known Egghead would pull a trick like this!"

"Chaos Emerald?" Uranus and Neptune pondered. Devastator swoops down and launches a series of missiles at our heroes. They quickly dodged them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Everyone hides behind a nearby building, peering behind the corner as they watched Devastator circling over the city.

"What are we going to do?!" questioned Jupiter, frustrated. "We tried hitting it with everything we got and we didn't even make a dent!"

Sailor Mercury and Tails then thought of something.

"Guys I have and idea," Tails said. "Why don't you try combining your attacks and focus it into one attack?"

"You see, we were all attacking it separately," Mercury explained. "But if we combine our attacks..."

"Then we might finally deal some damage!" Sonic finished her sentence. Tails and Sailor Mercury both nodded. Everyone leaves their hiding spot and gets into position as Devastator spotted them.

Eggman's Layer...

Eggman smiles when he spots them on his monitor. "Ah, there you are."

Back with Sonic, Tails, and the Sailor Senshi...

"MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK~!"

"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION~!"

"BURNING MANDALA~!"

"VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN~!"

"SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE~!"

"WORLD SHAKING~!"

"DEEP SUBMERGE~!"

"TUXEDO LA SMOKING BOMBER~!"

As Sonic charges up is Spin Dash, he launches himself forward and jumps into the center to direct the Sailor Senshi's combined attack. And just as Tails and Sailor Mercury predicted, it worked. A huge section of Devastator's arm was blasted right off! Everyone cheered.

Eggman's Layer...

"GAAAAAAAAAHHHH! GIVE ME A BIG FAT BREAK!" Eggman screamed in anger and frustration. He regains his composure as a malicious smirk crept up to his face.

"Not bad for a bunch of harlots, but lets see you handle Devastator's regenerative abilities and plasma canon!" he said as he flipped a switch.

Back with Sonic, Tails, and the Sailor Senshi...

While everyone was celebrating, except for Sailor Uranus and Neptune, Uranus yells out.

"Don't celebrate too soon look!"

Ceasing their cheers, they all look up only for them gasp, their eyes going wide full of shock and trepidation. Devastator's arm was regenerating itself!

"I-It's arm!" said Sailor Mars, horrified. "It's regenerating!"

"But how?!" questioned Tails. Once Devastator's arm grew back, it opens its mouth and everyone sees a lot of energy building up. Making her visor scanner appear once more, Mercury scans the robot and says.

"Scans show a pulsing energy inside its chest."

"So THAT'S where the Chaos Emerald is." said Sonic with narrowed eyes. Devastator releases a devastating blast of green energy aimed directly at Sonic, Tails, Tuxedo Mask, and the Sailor Senshi.

"EVERYONE MOVE!" Shouted Sailor Venus as they all jump back to avoid the blast, which created a massive crater in the road. The Sailor Senshi stare at the crater with wide eyes and gaping mouths, the color leaving their skin.

"W-What destructive power!" said a horrified Luna.

"So that's the power of a Chaos Emerald when it's used as a weapon," Mercury shivered with beads of cold sweat running down her forehead. "But at least we now know its weakness."

They all turn to look at her.

"What's that?" asked Sailor Mars.

"Before it fired that beam, I detected a huge pulse of energy coming from its chest, the same occurred when it regenerated its arm," the soldier of Mercury clarified. "That means if we were to hit its chest then it shouldn't be able to regenerate, but more importantly..."

"We will be able to shut it down for good!" Sonic said in realization. "Okay guys just like last time but this time aim for it's chest!"

The Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Mask nodded. "Right!" they all get into position.

"MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK~!"

"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION~!"

"BURNING MANDALA~!"

"VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN~!"

"SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE~!"

"WORLD SHAKING~!"

"DEEP SUBMERGE~!"

"TUXEDO LA SMOKING BOMBER~!"

But this time, Devastator saw it coming. It charges up and fires a blast that was so powerful that it swallowed up the combined attack and came hurling towards our heroes, who didn't have enough time to react.

KA-BOOM!

They were all hit by the blast, which produced a powerful explosion that not only it sent them flying, it destroyed the road and made several buildings crumble. Sonic, who recovered from the blast, emerges from the rubble while getting up shakily on his feet, bruised and battered. Lifting his head up, he gasps to see all of his friends unconscious, including his best friend Tails.

"Oh no! Guys!"

Just then, Devastator opens its mouth and Sonic hears an all too familiar voice speaking from the intercom.

"Hello Sonic! Never thought I'd see you here!"

Sonic glared up at the robot. "Eggman, I should've known you were behind this! What are you planning?!"

"That's a surprise, but sadly you won't be here to see it because if I were you, I'd use that superspeed to get out of this city."

"What are you up to Egghead?!" The blue blur demanded.

"I've just ordered Devastator to charge up his Plasma Canon to destroy this entire city! Feel free to stay and watch the fireworks! Muwahahahahaha!"

Sonic's eyes go wide in horror and says. "NO! I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT!"

Sonic curls into a tight ball, spins rapidly and hurls himself at Devastator, only for him to get swatted away by its tail and was sent crashing through several buildings.

CRASH!

"GYAUGH!" Sonic cried in pain, skidding across the road. He heard Eggman speak over the intercom once more.

"I don't get it, why would you throw your life away for these people you don't even know?"

Staggering up to his feet, he glances over to his unconscious friends and says. "Because...they're my friends." The closes his eyes and clenches his fists. Then, he snaps them open as they flashed blue. The sound of static shock woke up Tails, the Sailor Sennshi, Tuxedo Mask, and the two guardian cats.

"W-What's going on?!" questioned Sailor Moon.

Tails gasps. "Look!"

Looking in the direction Tails was pointing, they all gasp in amazement when they saw blue lighting crackling around Sonic's body that spread everywhere in his surroundings.

"No way...!" Mars whispered in awe.

"What's happened to Sonic-kun?" Sailor Moon thought with wide eyes. Sonic rushes at the robot at lightning speed as it started to shoot more missiles at the blue hedgehog. Only this time, Sonic managed to dodge all of them as he launched himself towards the wall of the buildings and straight for Devastator's chest. Seeing this, Sailor Moon yells.

"EVERYONE ONE LAST TIME! PUT EVERYTHING YOU GOT INTO THIS ATTACK LETS MAKE IT COUNT! MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK~!"

"BURNING MANDALA~!"

"VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN~!"

"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION~!"

"SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE~!"

"WORLD SHAKING~!"

"DEEP SUBMERGE~!"

"TUXEDO LA SMOKING BOMBER~!"

While in midair, Sonic curls into a tight ball, spins rapidly and shot forward like a bullet straight at Devastator's chest as the attacks combined with him. Devastator opens his mouth one last time and fires another powerful plasma blast at Sonic and the combined attacks. When the beam slammed with him, he tried fighting his way through it. The girls and Tuxedo mask kept their focus as they tried to push its self closer. Suddenly, the blue lightning surrounding Sonic's body intensifies, allowing him, the girls, and Tuxedo mask to overpower the beam and hits Devastator's chest. And then...

BOOM!

Devastator blew up in a might explosion from the sky. Everyone cheered.

"WE DID IT!" Sailor Moon cheered. "We defeated the robot!"

Sonic landed as he stops glowing, buckling onto one knee while grunting a bit in pain.

"Shoot..! Looks like Egghead's robot did a number on me...!" Sonic grimaced, staggering up to his feet. The blue hedgehog glances down at his right hand that held the ruby red Chaos Emerald that powered Devastator. Sonic smiled in satisfaction.

"Well, that's two down, only five more to go." He tosses the emerald in the air and catches it.

"SONIC/SONIC-KUN!"

Turning around, he saw Tails, Tuxedo Mask, Luna and Artemis, and the Inner Senshi running towards him.

"Are you alright Sonic-kun?" Sailor Moon asked him.

"Yeah, a little banged up, but I'll live," Sonic held out the Chaos Emerald. "I even got the-!"

THWACK!

"OW!" Sonic cried when Sailor Mars suddenly smacked him upside the head. "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?!"

"For scaring us!" The Shrine Maiden yelled. "We thought you died!"

"Hey! I had to take a risk didn't I?!" The blue hedgehog shot back. Out of the blue, the brooch on Sailor Moon's chest started glowing and the Chaos Emerald glowed at the same time. Everyone was surprised by this.

"What the heck?!" exclaimed Sonic.

"What's going on?!" questioned Tails.

"The emerald and the silver crystal are glowing at the same time!" Artemis noted. What happened next caught everyone off guard.

"Oh you poor thing..." Sailor Moon said sympathetically as she took hold of the Chaos Emerald. "That mad scientist made you do all those things against your will, you had no intention of hurting anyone."

Everybody was confused by this. Why was she speaking to the Chaos Emerald all of a sudden?

"Usagi, you okay?" asked Sonic.

Sailor Moon wiped away her tears. "I'm fine, it's just...the silver crystal suddenly connected with the emerald and I felt its pain, almost like it had a mind of it's own."

Everyone was left shocked by this. But before they could ask her how, they heard the sound of police sirens. They all saw several police cars pull up, surrounding them as the officers stepped out of the cars and aimed their guns at them.

"FREEZE! Put your hands over your heads! All we want is that blue trouble maker there!"

They all gasp at this. Then, random citizens came out saying.

"Don't shoot! He's a hero! He helped the Sailor Senshi defeat that robot behemoth!"

"He's right! This creature saved us all!"

"The city would've been destroyed if it wasn't for him!"

The officers stared at the citizens before looking back at the Mobian hedgehog.

"Is this true?" One of the officers asked, earning a nod affirmation from the blue speedster. Sighing, the officer puts his gun away.

"Alright men, stand down. Let's head back to the station."

Nodding, the rest of the officers put their guns away, went back into their cars and drove off, the sirens blaring. Everybody let out a sigh of relief.

"That was close..." Tails said, relieved. Then unexpectedly, several photographers and interviewers came out surrounding them, taking pictures and interviewing them.

CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!

"Nngh/Ack!" Both Tails and Sonic winced, shielding themselves from the bright flashing lights from the cameras. Sailor Venus, however, seemed to be enjoying herself.

"I haven't had this much attention in a long time!"

Tails turned to look at her in confusion. "Huh? A long time?"

Artemis sighed. "Mina used to go by the name "Sailor V" when we were fighting against the Dark Kingdom," he explained. "She became a super sensation that eventually went global when she was helping an English detective solve mysteries."

"Whoa..." Tails said in awe.

"Sweet!" Sonic grinned. A female news caster walks up to Sonic and holds out her microphone to him.

"Mr. Blue Blur, cam you tell us who you are or where you come from?"

Sonic remained silent before he takes a deep breath and answers. "I can't tell you were I come from, but I can tell you is that we're just a couple of people who hate bullies and really love this city."

While they were being interviewed, they were completely unaware of this female figure standing on one of the rooftops, watching them from afar. She seemed to have her attention on Sonic.

"Such amazing power..."

Eggman's layer...

"Perfect, everything has gone according to plan." Eggman smiled in satisfaction. The automatic door opens as one of his drones entered his room.

"Sir, the mission was a success. While the fox, the Sailor Senshi, and the blue hedgehog were distracted, we managed to retrieve the woman they were fighting."

"Excellent, put her in the Lazarus tank I'll be there to talk to her."

"Understood," As the drone left, a wide, evil, toothy crept up to Eggman's features as he watched his monitor that showed Sonic, Tails, and the Sailor Senshi being interviewed.

"Enjoy this victory while it lasts hedgehog, soon you and this world will all become and expansion of my empire heheheehehHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Hiwaka Shrine, Minato Ward...

Meanwhile, back at the Hiwaka Shrine, Usagi and Mamoru were having a romantic moment outside under the stars.

"Usako, I'm so sorry about your present," Mamoru said sadly, wrapping his arm around his girlfriend. "I just wanted make it special."

Usagi smiled warmly and nestled herself to Mamoru's chest. "It's okay, I'm sorry during this whole thing that I put you and Sonic-kun in harm way. You were so brave trying to protect me, besides, just having your love is my special birthday gift."

The two smile at each other lovingly and leaned to share a deep passionate kiss. However, inside the shrine, things were a little...chaotic. Minako and Makoto were both arguing while pulling Tails back and forth.

"I'M HUGGING TAILS!"

"NO I AM!"

Ami, who was rubbing her temples in exasperation, is trying to focus on her studies while Rei shouted.

"WILL YOU TWO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE?! I'M TRYING TO GET MY BEAUTY SLEEP!"

Sonic was busy rolling on the floor, clutching his stomach as he laughed his head off, finding the girls antics rather entertaining.

"S-SONIC! SAVE ME FROM THESE MONSTERS!" Tails cried out, being tugged by the brunette and the athletic blond

"HAHAHAHA! O-Okay lil' buddy, I'm comin'!" Sonic laughed as he gets up to help his younger brother figure from their tug of war.

Eggman's Lair...

Meanwhile, back at Eggman's lair, Kaolinite wakes up and finds herself floating in strange green liquid, inside of a tank wearing a breathing apparatus on her mouth. What shocked her was that not only was she freed from her crystal prison, this green liquid was healing her injuries and restoring her strength.

"W-What happened? Where Am I?"

Suddenly, the crimson-haired Daimon hears the door open and she looks to see Eggman approaching her.

"Ah, you're awake, excellent!"

Very weakly, Kaolinite speaks throuhg her breathing apparatus. "W...W-W...W-Who...a-a-are...y...y-y-you...?"

"Ah yes, how rude of me allow me to formally introduce myself," the mad scientist bows. "I am Dr. Eggman, I've saved you from certain death. What you're floating in is my Lazarus tank, which is designed to heal injuries and reverse age regenerating cells, now onto business." he walks around the tank with his hands behind his back. "I believe you and I each have a common enemy and I can help you with your enemies if you're willing to help me with mine.

Kaolinite looks at him skeptically. "And who might your enemy be?"

Eggman stops walking and turns to give her a knowing look. "I believe you've already met him."

The crimson-haired Daimon scowled, realizing what the mad doctor meant. "That obnoxious hedgehog...!" she sneered.

"Yes, that is him, I believe desperate times call for desperate measures," Eggman walks up to the tank to look at her dead in the eyes. "Once you're all healed, I'd like you to take me to see your master and we can form some kind of an arrangement."

Kaolinite thinks for a minute before nodding. "Agreed, when I'm done healing I'll take you to Mugen Academy until then do anything you can to take care of that meddlesome hedgehog."

Eggman smiles sadistically. "With pleasure, muwahahahahahahahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
