Scouts in the Mysterious Play (Part Three)
By: Eternal Flame
Taka sprang up from his seat as he, too, sensed the evil. "Sailor Scouts, we need your help now!"
"Right!"
The Sailor Scouts dashed out into the palace grounds seconds after they transformed. Taka, Chichiri, and Tasuki were battling a group of evil-looking creatures. The Seishi were having trouble landing their attacks since the creatures were so swift. They were like fleeting shadows, here one moment, there the next. They smiled impishly, as if they were just toying with the warriors. Taka's ogre sign shined brightly on his forehead, indicating frustration and anger. Miaka and Yui were hiding in a corner of the palace, and seemed to be talking to the air.. The Scouts, however, had no time to notice that. Instinctively, Sailor Moon's went into her famous speech mood.
"You there! You dare attack innocent and defenseless villages? Really, that's a cowardly thing to do! I'm here to undo it all, because I'm Sailor Moon, champion of love and justice! And in the name of the moon, I will punish you!"
…
The evil enemies didn't seem to notice, or Taka, Chichiri, and Tasuki.
"WHAT?!?!?"
Tuxedo Mask sighed. "Sailor Moon, I really don't think they care that you're the 'champion of love and justice'".
Jupiter was the first to fight. Taking advantage of the moment, she let her energy flow to her hands. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!"
Mercury added her attack, and aimed at a creature that was charging towards Tasuki's unprotected back. "Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
Startled, the Suzaku Seishi stared as two of the enemies screamed and disappeared. Taka quickly kicked in his kung-fu style two others, while Tasuki used his flame fan thingy to burn a few of them. No matter how many they destroyed, more kept appearing.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
"Tuxedo the Smoking Bomber!" (That's Tuxedo Mask's attack in the Sailor Moon manga.)
One after one, they were killed. One after one, more appeared.
Tasuki yelled out to them what they all knew, "They keep coming! Whatever we throw at them is useless!"
Mercury turned towards Sailor Moon. "Sailor Moon, we need your power! Maybe you can destroy them all at once!"
She nodded, and closed her eyes. Calmly, she lifted her Moon Rod, and yelled, "Moon Gorgeous…Meditation!"
A huge ball of energy light was thrown towards the monsters. Taka, Chichiri, and Tasuki swiftly jumped out of the way, but the creatures, who were startled at the arrival of the new warriors, weren't quick enough. Their mouths hung open in pain, agony, and surprise. Then, they were gone.
Chichiri looked around. "I don't sense them anymore. You Sailor Scouts did a good job, you know?"
Tasuki and Taka nodded in agreement.
"Uhhh…we don't need to pay you, do we?" Taka asked hesitantly.
Miaka came forward with a sweatdrop, and punched Taka playfully. "Don't mind him, he's just obsessed with getting money."
Tuxedo Mask breathed a sigh of relief. "Whew, I thought we'd never beat them!"
Taka looked towards a faraway tree, and a look of surprise and joy spread across his face. "Nuriko! I've been wondering how long it would take for you to get here!"
The Sailor Scouts looked in that direction. Up, down, all around…who was Taka talking to?
Chichiri smiled gleefully. "Nuriko! Where's Hotohori? Meet our new friends and allies! They're the Sailor Scouts, you know?"
More blinks and stares from the Sailor Scouts.
Mars murmured to Sailor Moon, "It must be a book world thing."
Tasuki overheard her, and said loudly. "Nope! It's just a Suzaku Seishi thing."
Taka explained. "We can see Nuriko, but you can't because you're not a Suzaku Seishi. Nuriko died a long time ago when she battled a Seiryuu Seishi."
Mercury murmured, "They told us all of that, but not this!"
"Hotohori, Mitsukake, and Chiriko also died during the Battle between Konan and Kutou. What we see and hear are sort of like…ghosts of the original people. Nuriko here is a-"
"GAY CROSSDRESSER!" Miaka interrupted mischieviously.
The Sailor Scouts just stared even harder.
Miaka looked shame-faced as Nuriko's spirit yelled at her.
Tasuki continued, "Anyway, Nuriko is a gay crossdresser, thank you Miaka, and was the strongest of the Suzaku Seishi."
"AND SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH HOTOHORI, THE EMPEROR!" she giggled teasingly. Then she gasped. "Wait, wait Nuriko! Don't go! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be mean! Come on, I was just teasing you! I'm sorry!"
Stare, stare, blink, blink.
Back in the palace, the new emperor that followed Hotohori,Boushin, still hadn't come home, or his mother. Taka looked troubled, and paced back and forth through the hallway. The Sailor Scouts had returned to their normal outfits, and were given a tour of the palace by Miaka and Yui. Tasuki leaned against one of the pillars in the hallway Taka was in, and thought about what was going on. Chichiri had disappeared into his kasa to find the emperor. No one was in the mood to sleep.
Raye gazed at the beautiful architecture around her. She had been to many famous and beautiful temples in Japan, but none of them were even close to this palace's beauty. Her long silky hair swept behind her as she fell behind the group unconsciously. Noticing a room that seemed to send out sparkling light, she approached it. Looking around cautiously to make sure no one would scream at her if she went in, Raye stepped softly inside.
Nothing could've prepared her for what she saw.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group didn't notice Raye's absence. Serena admired the palace around her, but was more conscious of her rumbling stomach. Amy and Yui discussed academic goals for the real world. Miaka cheerfully explained the more intricate details of the Universe of the Four Gods to Lita, Mina, and Darien. The girls seemed to be more fascinated in the Suzaku Seishi (who were all male) than the actual story. It was Serena who first noticed that Raye was missing.
"Raye, remember that fire reading you told us about?"
No answer.
"Raye?!"
No answer.
Serena looked frantically around. There was no trace of the gorgeous raven-hairead living goddess anywhere! (Teehee! I did that just for you, Kristin!) Serena began to panick.
"WHERE'S RAYE?!?!?!?!?!?!?" she screeched.
Darien looked around. "Don't worry, she probably got so caught up in this building that she got lost. She has to be in this palace somewhere. Raye has a lot of sense."
Miaka ran down the hall, and said to the others, "I'll get Taka to start a search!"
She ran down the hallway, past a door should have been there. Should have.
Another cliffhanger!!!!! Mwahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next time: Chichiri finds the emperor, but where's Raye? (Sorry this one is so short.) I've tried to stick with the FY storyline, but it's near impossible the way I want this story to go! So, bear with me.
As always, e-mail me comments of this at Steph040389@aol.com mailto:Steph040389@aol.com. And, the standard disclaimers… I don't need to go through those.
