"OK, you guys ready?" Sailormoon asked her guardians. They
all nodded. "Good! Renee, get out there." The pink haired girl ran into the
center of the square, where the main streets met, at the old port. She
clenched her muscles and scrunched her face in a worthless attempt to
create a moonbeam. 'This isn't working' Sailormoon thought. Then a light
bulb went off in her mind. "Renee, what's the matter with you?"
Sailormoon's voice was harsh. "What are you waiting for? Get with it!
Christmas is coming!" All the other scouts chided her and were embarrassed
by Sailormoon's inappropriate behavior.
"I'm trying!" Renee yelled.
"This isn't going to work, Renee's useless" Sailormoon
called to the Scouts loud enough for Renee to hear. "We'll have to think of
something else. Renee can't do it."
"I can so!" The now well known crescent beam shot into the
sky. Seconds later the voices of four bickering women could be heard.
"There you are!" Katsy's familiar tutu came into view.
"Come here, Rabbit!" Prisma snaped.
"OK guys, this is it." Sailormoon looked up a Tuxedo Mask,
who nodded. "Get Renee out of here." Tux leapt onto the scene and away
again, the child in his arms. He took her to safety as the Sailorscouts
went through their speeches.
There was a flash of light, and Rubeus and a youma appeared.
Each scout paired off with a sister. Sailormoon went after the youma. It
was large and ugly and mean. It was large breasted and broad shouldered.
It blasted negative energy at our heroine.
Sailormoon dodged, and got out her scepter. She was not fast
enough. The youma blasted her. She was cornered and wounded. She'd droped
her septer as she was thrown back.. The youma attacked her again. She had
nowhere to go, nowhere to escape. The senshi were distacted from their
separate battles and caught off guard. They landed on the other side of the
square.
Suddenly there was someone with Sailormoon. He tried to push her
out of the line of fire but was hurt as well.
"NOHO! Scott!" the injured man sank to his knees and
Sailormoon caught him under the arms. They went down together. Sailormoon
held her near dead friend against her, crying.
"You never told me you were Sailormoon." He whispered into
her ear. Scott smiled a sad smiled that made the girl weep harder. "That's
OK... " His dead body sagged against her. Sailormoon laid his body to the
floor. Calmly, quietly, she removed her brooch.
"Sailormoon..." Venus whispered. The scouts were getting up
from their unflattering positions. Sailormoon whispered to herself and the
silver imperium crystal began to glow. Light filled the corner.
Both, Sailormoon and Scott, began to shimmer. The others
could see their auras blending as Sailormoon used the silver crystal to
revive her friend.
"Please let this work. Oh God, please" she whispered.
"Scott, come back, please. I can't lose you now." It worked, Sailormoon
could see his chest moving as air filled his lungs again. The scouts limped
to her,
"Are you alright?" Jupiter put a hand on Sailormoon's shoulder.
"I will be." Sailormoon went and picked up her scepter.
"Wait here." She walked towards the monster. She destroyed it in a second
'It's your turn Rubeus.'
Tuxedo Mask jumped to the group of scouts as Sailormoon
advanced on Rubeus. Quizzically, she turned and looked at her comrades. The
crystal was still glowing
"This is my fight."
'Oh no,' Tux thought, dreading what was coming next. A
wave of power hit the group. It became solid and encased Scott in a
protective bubble levitating off the ground
"He'll be safe in there." Sailormoon turned and ran towards
Rubeus and the sisters. "It's your turn now."
"I doubt that, Miss Moon." Rubeus and his female companions
surrounded her. "You won't beat us this time"
"That's a matter of opinion." Sailormoon spun her septer,
ready to attack.
"Katsy, Birdie, Prisma, Avery, go back to the ship." Rubeus
ordered them.
"Yes sir." The sisters vanished.
"Let's go.." Sailormoon challenged him.
'God, Serena' Tux prayed. He looked at Sailormoon, who was
having a stairing contest with Rubeus.
Rubeus lunged for her, she dodged him. She aimed her septer
at her opponent. Rubeus was quick and threw a handful of bombs at her. She
slammed into the wall of a nearby building, cracking the cement. She landed
on her feet and attacked with her scepter, wounding Rubeus.
They fired at the same time, causing a large explosion of
light that threw them both back. Sailormoon got up first. Anger fueled her
determination.
"Come on guys, we godda help her." Mars cried
"No!!" Tux held her back. "Respect her whishes." 'Serena, be
careful.' Tux urged the blond with his mind.
"Huh? Wha, what's going on?" Scott stood up shakily, leaning
against the bubble walls. "Where's Serena, is she OK?" He looked at Tuxedo
Mask: "Darien..."
"Rubeus, be healed." Sailormoon's voice could be heard. They all
looked to see Sailormoon standing over her enemy, the crystal glowing
again. She removed it from her brooch.
"No.." Rubeus protested causing Sailormoon to start.. He reached up
and took hold of the crystal. Sailormoon cried out in pain making Scott scream and pound on the encasing walls.
Tux found himself routed to the spot, fear freezing him.
None of the others made moves to help.
"If he gets that crystal she'll die." Mercury blubbered
the truth no one wanted to believe.
'Come on, Serena. You can beat him.' Tuxedo Mask pleaded
with his mind. Sailormoon's crystal kept glowing brighter and brighter,
emitting power. The bubble walls collapsed, sending Scott tumbling to the
ground. Sailormoon had Rubeus on his knees, the light the crystal was
giving of was blinding. Tux could hear her whispering.
"Be healed, accept purification."
"Never!" he whispered back.
'I'm sorry, he won't--' Tux's thoughts were cut off as
Rubeus started laughing. He saw Sailormoon's expression change.
Tux and the sailorscouts stood and watched as the scene
unfolded. A dark cloud began to swirl around the two. The crystal began to
flicker, Sailormoon didn't have much energy left. Her sailor fuku dissolved
into ribbons that hung loosely around her. The cloud became thicker and
darker, enveloping them. The cloud filled the square, Tux found he couldn't
see anything. He and the others coughed and screamed at Sailormoon. When
the mist cleared Sailormoon and Rubeus where gone.
Ohhh, cliff hanger... What will happen next?
