A Prayer-Part 9
Oooo! I'm gonna love writing the final parts of this! I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who reviewed! And even you guys who didn't. :|
Takami: *bites my ear* Get on with the story! Your blabbering!
Me: Quiet, you! Yeah . . me and Takami get along real well . .
Takami: That's 'Takami and I!'
Me: Go sit on a nail.
*~*~*~*~*
They were and odd little group: 9 girls and 3 boys standing by the fireplace in there pajamas.
Ami cleared her throat. "Rei-chan saw a light, beyond the Forbidden Forest, and after some scanning, I discovered it was him." she shivered in the darkness. "Tonight is the night. Get dressed everyone. Hermione-chan, Harry-chan, Ron-chan, Malfoy-chan, get your wands. Senshi, don't we mustn't transform until we get to the battle site, ok?"
The senshi nodded, and Ron, Hermione and Harry ran up the stair cases to find their wands. Malfoy pulled his wand from out of his pajama sleeve.
After the Hermione and the boys were back downstairs, and everyone was dressed, Haruka took a deep breath and sighed. "Now, someone has to tell Dumbledore."
"Of course," Minako said. "And perhaps the other teachers as well."
"Ummmm," Harry rubbed a hand on the back of his neck. "I don't know if that's a good idea . . .Dumbledore, and maybe McGonagall, sure, but . . .Snape? And Flitwick? And what about Hagrid? All he has is his pink umbrella!"
Hermione thought a minute. "Right. We need McGonagall, Dumbledore . . . I'll run and get Dumbledore, and Usagi, go and get McGonagall." Usagi nodded vigorously and followed Hermione out.
*~*~*~*~*
Usagi panted as she knocked on McGonagall's door. She sure hoped this was the right room. Sure enough, McGonagall, in her slippers and housecoat, answer the door wearily.
"Usagi?" she yawned. "What's the matter?"
"McGonagall-san!" Usagi said, trying to catch her breath. "He's here! Beyond the Forbidden Forest! We need your help! Meet us on the edge of the forbidden forest!" and she ran off down the hall, leaving a stunned McGonagall in her dust.
*~*~*~*~*
The group walked out slowly into the dark, and made their way to the forbidden forest. Sure enough, there was McGonagall and Dumbledore, and the both had their wand alight.
Michiru sighed. "Dumbledore-san . . .is there no one else? All the letters you sent. . . .?"
Dumbledore shook his head sadly. "Not a peep. No one responded. Perhaps they are on their way now, but it'll be to late, by the time anyone gets here." He put on a stone face. "But we must try. We must!"
And they made their way into the Forbidden Forest.
*~*~*~*~*
Hermione gasped as a gnarled twig caught her cloak. She struggled to get free, but only got her hands scratched in the process. Malfoy walked over to her and snapped the twig is half, so that Hermione could loosen it. She smiled warmly at him and whispered "Thanks,"
Malfoy's usually pale faced turn slightly red, and he followed Hermione and the others, smiling. (AN: Sorry, sorry!)
"We're a-a-almost t-t-t-their!" Ami whispered through her chattering teeth. "Just a few more minutes."
And just as she said that, they walked into an enormous clearing.
"Uh . . " Ami blushed. "It's possible that I, uh miscalculated the distance."
The clearing was bare, except for the remnants of a fire, which had gone out some time ago.
"Well," Malfoy sighed. "Where is he?"
Suddenly, a heart-stopping hiss echoed through the clearing, and made all their blood run cold. A pair of blood red eyes appeared at the opposite side of the clearing. They were slanted eyes, like those of a snake, and they narrowed when they made out the shape of the senshi and the others.
"Oh look . . " he whispered, barely audible. "House guest. You must forgive the mess, we didn't expect company. " His laughter echoed around them, and was joined by more laughter, from human figures that were suddenly outlined against the darkness.
"Show yourself, coward!" Haruka bellowed. Hermione was trembling from head to foot, Ron kept gulping, and McGonagall was continuously wiping her brow.
"If you say so . . ." the eyes laughed, and a figure stepped from the shadows. A rather tall, gray skinned man stepped from the shadows. Or at least he looked human at first, until you noticed his red eyes and slited nostrils. He looked more like a man with the face of a snake. Voldemort.
His companions also stepped from the shadows, of various sizes and builds. One of them was Lucius Malfoy, naturally.
"Father," Draco said calmly, his voice level.
"Son," Lucius laughed. "Didn't I always tell you, root for the winning team?" he chuckled dangerously. "Too bad . . suppose you'll die now . . too bad, indeed." Even at the news that his father would give no mercy to him, Malfoy didn't move an inch. His face remained still, like a mask.
"I suspected as much," Malfoy said.
"But who . . ." Voldemort raised a gray eyebrow. "Who are the others? Foreigners, no?"
"Why do you ask what you already know, Voldemort?" Dumbledore questioned.
"Just making conversation, Dumbledore, you old fool, just making conversation. But enough chit-chat. I suggest we get this over as soon as possible. I have other business to tend to." Voldemort laughed as he looked towards the school.
"You won't have the chance," Rei sneered
"Oh, won't I?" Voldemort chuckled coldly. "If say so, little girl!" He began to pull out his wand.
"MARS STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
Little ringlets of fire swirled out of Rei's henshin, circled around her, and flashed, revealing Sailor Mars.
"MERCURY STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
Ribbons of blue shot out of Ami's henshin, and form articles of clothing on her body. Sailor Mercury.
"VENUS STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
Strings of stars encircled Minako, leaving her as Sailor Venus
"JUPITER STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
Electricity closed around Makoto, so that she was the nucleus. Sailor Jupiter.
"URANUS PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!"
A wall of wind like energy closed around Haruka, leaving her as Sailor Uranus.
"I thought she was a guy!" Malfoy exclaimed!
"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!"
A wall of water closed around Michiru, making her Sailor Neptune.
"PLUTO PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!"
A eerie scream was heard as Setsuna enclosed herself in a white sort of energy, and became Sailor Pluto.
Everyone who had not seen this before were, needless to say, quite astonished. McGonagall kept blinking and rubbing her eyes, and Malfoy was glancing at the skimpy outfits. (AN: What a horn dog!) The Death Eaters were whispering to one another.
"What is this?!" Voldemort cried, alarmed. "You summoned up the greatest warriors known to this universe to bring me down, did you? Well, that'll just earn me a new title!" He laughed evilly.
He turned his eyes on Usagi, who had not transformed, and was just standing there.
"Aren't you going to do something fantastic, little one?" he chuckled. "Or are you a mere mortal like them?" he jerked his thumb towards Harry and the others.
Usagi smiled, like he had told a joke. "I thought you were smarter than that."
"MOON COSMIC POWER, MAKE UP!" and poof, in a flash of pink ribbons and lights, there was Sailor Moon.
"Hmmm . . ." Voldemort looked carefully at her, sizing her up and down. "Not a problem," he shrugged, and pulled out his wand with a smile.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Malfoy, McGonagall and Dumbledore did the same, and the senshi positioned themselves to fight.
Harry smiled confidently, though his heart was banging around in his chest so much that he thought he would explode. "Bring it on."
*~*~*~*~*~*
OK! LAST PART COMING SOON! Give me ideas of how the fight should go, I'm stumped. Takami's no help at all. *is biten* OUCH! *brings out her baseball bat* Come'er, ya little squirt.
