Evil Destroyed

"Chapter 2"

"Mistress." hissed a voice in the darkness.
"Yes, child? What have you to report?" a female voice hissed back.
"The Ronins and the Sailors have met up. They have revealed themselves to each other."
"Excellent. It looks you'll get your revenge, General Talpa. Haaa haaahaaa!"

****

At the Hikawa Shrine, the Senshi de-transformed and the Ronins took off their sub-armor. The Ronins were in jeans, letter jackets, and tee shirts under the jackets. *authoress: Remember the last episode where they were playing with a ball?*
The Senshi were in short, Chinese-style dresses. Rei's was red, Ami's blue, Lita's green, Mina's orange, and Serena's pink. They all had flowers that were lighter then the base color. When the Ronins noticed this, their jaws, again, hit the floor.
"I'm hungry!" Serena and Kento said at the same time. Then they looked at each other. Then Kento forgot about distrust. "I bet I can eat more then you!"
"NO WAY! I can eat WAY more then YOU!" Serena replied. This argument went on for...oh...about...30 seconds, tops.
"SERENA! SHUT UP!!" Rei said/yelled/shouted.
Everyone looked at her and backed up a little, but Serena and Kento shut up. ;-)
"Ano...why don't we get something to eat and get to know each other a little better?" Ami quietly suggested.
"That sounds like a good idea." Rowen agreed, keeping a weary eye on Rei.
"Hey, wait!" Mina said. "I don't remember anyone's name. Lets re-introduce ourselves. I'm Aino Mina."
"I'm Kino Lita."
"I'm Tskuino Serena."
"I'm Hino Rei."
"I'm Mizuno Ami."
"I'm Chiba Darien."
"Ahhh...I...I'm Sanada Ryo."
"I'm Kento Rei Faun."
"I'm Mouri Cye."
"I'm Date Sage."
"I'm Hashiba Rowen."
"Roar." *authoress: heh...ano...ahem.*
"Oh. That's Byakuen."
"It's nice to meet you." They all said at once. Then Kento's and Serena's stomachs growled again, and everyone sweat dropped.
"Why don't we get something to eat now."

****

"Ha. Yes, that's right. Come get something to eat. Walk right into my trap." *light, wicked laughter*

****

"AHHHHHHHH!" random person screamed.
"That didn't sound good..." Serena said. Then they all ducked into a handy ally and transformed/armored up.
"Moon Eternal Power!"
"Venus Starlight Power!"
"Mars Starlight Power!"
"Jupiter Starlight Power!"
"Mercury Starlight Power!"
"Armor of Wildfire...DAO JIN!"
"Armor of Hardrock...DAO GI!"
"Armor of Torrent...DAO SHIN!"
"Armor of Halo...DAO CHE!"
"Armor of Strata...DAO INOCI!"
Darien changed into Tuxedo Kamen, and Byakuen into Black Blaze. *anyone out there know Black Blaze's Japanese name?*
Our favorite warriors ran around the corner to an...interesting...ly...strange...sight. A women in a ^tight^ dark-purple-ish body suit was attacking the Crown Game Center. This...women...lady...person...had dark lavender-ish-kind-of-pink-ish hair green-ish, brown-ish, grayish, yellow-ish eyes. Umm...well...more bright green, really. She also had a tail the same color as her hair.
Presently, she noticed the Ronins and the Senshi.
"Hum, hum. Yes, you've walked right into my trap. My name is Nekko. I will be one of your destroyers."
"What do you mean, 'one'?" Sage asked. Before anyone else could get anything else out, another voice came from behind them.
"I''m Katrine. When I'm done, you'll be nothing but space dust. Hehe!" Katrine was wearing a dark-almost-black-blue body suit. Her hair was dark blue, and her eyes were, oddly, the same color as Ami's. Before anyone could comment, ^another^ voice came from the side.
"I am Mezonite, last of the Dark Kingdom's generals." Mezonite was in the traditional Dark Kingdom General uniform, except the lining was lavender. She had a cape (like Kunzite's) that was purple on the inside. Her hair and eyes were also lavender. Mezonite's little announcement and her outfit shocked the Senshi. They didn't have a chance to act on that, 'cuz yet ^another^ voice, this time male, came from their other side.
"Heh. Now you bothersome pests will be eradicated! I am Tofu, your final destroyer!"
"Huh? TOFU?! WHERE! I'M HUNGERY!" Serena and Kento sail/yelled at the same time. *authoress: Arigato, Sarah and Ami!*
Tofu did not look too happy. He was the only male there, and the only armor-clad adversary. His armor was black, black, black and gray. *authoress: What? Why are you looking at me like that?* He did not have his helmet on (or anywhere in sight), so you could see his pitch-black hair *you are ^still^ looking at me weird. ~_~* and bright, light blue eyes. *WHAT?!* He was looking at them with his mouth hanging open. He presently gained his composure and sail/yelled "I AM NOT A FOOD! E AM A GREAT WARRIER! HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME LIKE THAT!"
"Your ^name^ is tofu?" Kento asked.
"YES, MY NAME IS TOFU!" he yelled back.
*snicker, snicker* "SO, you think that's funny do you? Well, you'll get a kick out of this: DARK STAR...EXPLODE!"
As he said this, the tip of the sword he was holding was pointed to the sky. A large ball of energy formed at it's tip. When it was pretty big, he pointed the sword at the Senshi and the Ronins. As he said 'explode', the ball exploded outward, then gathered about 5 inches from the swords tip and formed into a beam that shot very quickly at the warriors.
It happened very quickly, so no one had time to jump out of the way. That beam probably would've done a lot of damage, except for the fact that Mercury teleported in front of the others and said "Ice Shield!". She formed and impenetrable shield of ice just before Tofu's attack hit.
The others were excepting to be dead, so they were mildly surprised when they found themselves still alive, in one piece, without a scratch. That is, until they saw Mercury standing there, staring down Tofu with him doing the same. Every one else just kind of stook/sat/crouched/half-laied there. Then, out of the blue, they both yelled an attack at the same time.
"ETERNAL AQUA RAPSODY!"
"DARK LIGHT ENGULF!"
They both hit and canceled each other out. Then Tofu teleported away someplace.
"Did he just chicken out?" Kento asked. He shouldn't have, because just then Tofu appeared so his front was to Mercury's back. He put his arms around her waist. Everyone knew he was talking to her, but they couldn't hear.

****

"You are a strong warrior. No one has ever canceled out one of my attacks before."
"Get used to it." Mercury replied icily.
"Hum. You are a feisty, strong willed one. You would make an excellent concert."
"In your dreams, creep."
"Perhaps. Or I could take you now. My queen is a very good ruler. I'm sure she'd let me keep you."
"You're very persistent, aren't you? Well, you may as well know why I am called the Mistress of Illusion."
After she said that, the area around them got a little foggy. Then, about 10 more Mercury's appeared in random place, upside down, right side up, sideways, and at random angles. An illusion of Mercury was now in her origonal position, but Tofu didn't know that. The real Mercury has appeared by Rowen. Of course, no one was sure if she was real or not.
"Now," she said, her voice echoing and coming from all directions. "try to guess where I really am."
Tofu, Katrine, Nekko, and Mezonite all looked around at the eleven Mercury's . Then Nekko said "This is ridicules. QUICKSTRIKE!" After she said that, she started moving very fast. No one knew where she was, except Mercury. She turned invisible and stepped back, leaving an illusion. Nekko slashed right through it.
"Nani! One of them has to be real!" she shouted.
"Not necessarily." Mercury's voice came echoing again.
"Let me try." Katrine said. "ICE SPRAY!"
All of Mercury's illusions were hit, except for the real Mercury and her allies, because she shielded them.
"Now for that shield of hers." Mezonite said, raising her hands so they were over her chest and gathering energy between her palms. Then she fired the energy. Mercury's shield held up until the attack was over, then it shattered.
Before any damage could be inflected, the Sailors teleported away and took the Ronins with them.
"Damm it! They're gone!" Mezonite said.
"Queen Tishina won't be pleased." Tofu said.
"She'll probably let Talpa have his way with us." Nekko said.
"We should get back and report." Katrine said. They teleported back to face the Queen Tishina's wrath.

****

The Sailors and the Ronins re-appeared in front of the Hikawa Shrine.
"How the heck did we get here?" Kento asked.
"We teleported. How did you think?" Jupiter replied.
"..." was all the Ronins had to say.
"You can teleport?" Rowen asked, hoping Ami would answer.
"Yes. It's really easy, if you have a way of accessing the power you need to do it." Ami said.
Then the Senshi transformed back into regular clothes, and so did the Ronins. Then they walked to a closer restaurant and had their long-awaited lunch. Serena and Kento were very happy.

************************************************
The torture of waiting...

Like my baddies? Natakoa and Sarah helped my come up with Queen Tishina, Tofu, and Nekko. I think I'm gonna have waaaaaaay too much fun writing this. I have chapter 3 written, and trust me, it's the shortest thing I've ever written. It only took a page and a half in my notebook!
Gotta go now. It's 10:57 p.m., and I'm still finishing a Sprite. I'm ^really^ glad I don't get sugar rush. ;-)
