Chapter 12 Return of James
The two girls could only stare at the monster. It was hideous. Snakes substituted for hair and the creature's face was a pale green. The whole outlook made Jess' blood curdle.
"Chas! I think its time we finish this monster off!" shouted Jess. Chas now standing a few feet away form Jess just staring at the monster. How in the world could just Jess and Chas beat this creature? They needed James, Tom, and Kyle. Without them they were powerless. But two of them now lay dead and one was no where to be found.
Medusa let out a horrid laugh. She put her hands wide apart. A beam of green electricity formed between her hands. She lifted the beam high above her head. Gathering her energy Medusa heaved the giant beam at the two scouts.
A scream of pain and Chas skidded across the large room. Chas' breaths were scarce. She lifted her head up with the little strength she had left. There was Jess just standing there not one scratch on her. Somehow the attack had missed her. But there was something different about Jess. This girl that stood in front of her was no longer the fun loving Jess that she had once knew. This girl was different. She was more mature than the old Jess. This Jess was determined. She would defeat this creature once and for all and avenge Tom and Kyle's death. She was determined to find James no matter how long it took her.
"Medusa! I am the Princess of Style! With the power of the style scepter I shall punish you once and for all! In the name of all Style Scouts everywhere I will punish you!" screamed Jess.
"NO!" shouted Chas. Jess turned to the weak Chas and smiled.
"Chas, this is my destiny."
"No, Jess I won't let you face her alone!" exclaimed Chas. Jess gave Chas a smile. The smile explained all to Chas. Not knowing how though Chas understood Jess must face Medusa by herself. Chas laid her head back and wished that Jess would survive and somehow they would all meet again. Chas grew pale and died...
"So the little princess think she can stop me?" cackled Medusa. Medusa launched another beam except this one was twice as large. When the beam hit the ground all there was, was a flash of light. The light filled the world and made even the darkest places shine. For this was the light of style. Though Medusa was sure this meant the light had shown for the last time. But this was only the beginning. It was the beginning of the new era. The Style Era of the 21st century. And this era will not be destroyed or stopped by any creature as low as Sailor Playa!
When finally the light had faded Jess was no longer there. In her place stood Princess Style, style scepter in hand. "Stylish Eternal Bells Ring!" shouted Jess. A rainbow beam shot from the scepter. Her attack thought failed to affect the overgrown beast. Medusa only retaliated with a beam or lightening.
"We're equal..." stuttered Jess.
"Impossible. I used my strongest shadow! I have to be stronger than you!" shouted Medusa.
"Face it Medusa! We're equal! Any attack we throw we'll counter each other!" screamed Jess. Tears ran down her face. She couldn't beat Medusa...
"I'll defeat you by increasing the odds!" cackled Medusa. Jess only stared at her in confusion. What did she mean by 'increasing the odds'?
The loud caw rang out and a small blackbird flew out of the shadows. The bird swooped down towards Jess catching her totally off guard. Its cold sharp beak hit the flesh on Jess' hand and it flew away. When Jess recovered from the attack she noticed something was missing. The crow had grabbed the style scepter!
Jess just realized she had turned her back to Medusa. Jess let out a painful scream as the electricity beam hit her. She flew foreword and then down to her knees. Jess couldn't even catch her breath when another blast hit her. Jess couldn't take much more. Another attack. Jess was now sprawled on the floor. Jess took a deep breath and sighed, "I love you James..."
"Stylish Moon Shine!"
A blade of light shot out of the shadows. It shot right through the crow. The crow dropped the scepter and faded away. The scepter fell to the ground. But only a few feet away from the ground a hand grabbed it. Jess opened her eyes and looked closely at the person who had caught the scepter. It the Submarine Knight! No! It was… James!
