Evil Destroyed

Disclaimer: I don't own Ronin Warriors or Sailor Moon. I'm just using them. I ^do^ own Sailor's Water and Thunder, Queen Tishina, Katrine, Nekko, Mezonite, and Tofu. I also own Byakuen, Black Blaze, and Talpa's form that I screwed with. I think that's it.
Chapter 14
A shadowed woman growled in the darkness. The three girls behind her looked at her, a mixture of worry and fear hidden in their coal-black eyes.
"My lady?" one said, her voice smooth and cold as ice.
"What's the matter?" another asked, her voice cackling like thunder.
"They have captured Ruby." the woman replied.
"They...they managed to...to defeat Ruby?" the third asked, fear, awe, and worry mixed in her songbird voice.
"Didn't I just say that?" the woman snapped, irritated that one of her best would be defeated so easily.
"I'll retrieve her." the cackling voice offered, sounding a little too eager.
The woman didn't seem to notice this, and nodded her head. The girl smiled evilly, and teleported away.
******
The Ronins and Sailors all opened their eyes and looked around, expecting to find themselves back in the cave.
Their jaws all dropped when they got a good look. (This is aside form the fact that the Senshi and Mia found themselves in the Ronins and Darien's arms.)
They (well, the Ronins and Darien, anyway.) were standing by an unnaturally large and deep lake surrounded by cherry trees in full bloom. The tree's petals weren't the traditional pink, though. There were sliver, black, white, different shades of blue, green, orange, yellow, red, purple, and a couple brown. There were even a few with gold petals, and when the petals touched the ground, they changed gold as well.
"Byakuen," Mia asked from Darien's arms. "Is this...?"
"No." Byakuen replied, which earned them all curious glances from everyone but Darien, Kat, and Ari.
"This is my garden." Kat said, standing on the rock furthest out in the water. Ari was on the one diagonal and behind to that. (BTW- The rocks are large boulders arranged like stepping-stones. They start to point but end with flat tops. And, for anyone who cares, the rocks are a deep reddish-brown. *grins widely*)
"Why did you bring us here?" Rowen asked, holding Ami in is arms.
"And where'd that red-head pyro go?" Rei asked from Sage's arms.
Kat held her free gloved hand over the water. A spot glowed blue, and then a light, also blue, shot up. When it cleared, there was the unconscious redhead, floating in a blue-tinted bubble, the bubble sitting on a column of pure water.
"I wonder what kinda trick Talpa thinks he's pullin'." Kento said, his grip on Lita tightening a little.
"Lord Talpa had nothing to do with this." Ari said, her brown eyes not moving form the redhead and her grip on her sword tightening.
"If this Talpa had nothing to do with this," Serena started form Ryo's arms. "then who?"
"The daughter of..." Kat's sentence was cut off due to a large lightning ball charging at her.
"Water Guardian!" Kat said, pointing her trident at the other attack as she spoke. The top part glowed a few shades of blue in quick succession. Then, pure water and energy jumped out, swirled, and formed into a dragon.
The dragon charged at the thunder ball, and at the last minute, opened its mouth to release a very large amount of energy. When the tow made contact, the dragon's attack won, but was canceled out before it could reach the emerald-haired, black eyed girl who was dressed exactly like the pyro girl only in green.
Everyone but Ari and Byakuen were staring open-mouthed. (Btw- in case you forgot, they're still transformed.) As they stared, the dragon went back to Kat and circled her. Its body seemed to have shrunk, and it stopped with its body seeming to circle around Kat and its head staying still next to hers.
Mina tried to stutter something out, but it never got to the point of making sense.
"This," Kat started, sending her trident to sub-space and placing her hand on the dragon's head. "is Celest. He is to me as Luna is to you, Serena. My guardian, if you will."
They all stared, still open-mouthed, as Ari also did a similar attack/spell, only she pointed her sword foreword and it glowed a few different shades of green. Then, lightning and energy shot out of the tip of the sword and formed into a phoenix-like bird seemingly made of lightning.
"Whoa." Lita said, staring in awe like everyone else.
"She is Nexia. Also, if you prefer, my guardian." Ari said.
"Ano..." Kento asked, sounding much like a little kid about to beg for something. "do we have...guardians...like that?"
Sailor Thunder looked at him for a moment then giggled a little. Water just grinned and shook her head.
Thunder finished giggling and answered: "Yes, you all have guardians. No, Ryo, tiger-boy over there is not yours. Yours is a tiger, however. He's red and named Blaze." (The authoress: Yeah, what? You got a better idea, tell me. [Applies to most guardians])
"Rowen," Water started, her hand now rubbing Celest's head. "yours is a blue hawk named Blue Star. Kento, you have a lion named Quaker. Sage, Datchi is the name of your wolf, and Cye, yours is called Artic, a very interesting dolphin. Darien, you have a white panther named Midnight."
"Now, for the ladies." Thunder said, taking a deep breath. "Serena, you have a white bobcat named Diane. Mina, Hope is your lioness. Lita, the dragon Xena guards you. The phoenix Firestar is your guardian, Rei. Ami, Azura is a nightingale, and Mia, you also have a nightingale named after your boyfriends mother, Desemerada."
They all just stared for a few minutes, then Rowen, Ami, Darien, and Mia asked: "What about the Warlords/Outers?". Which caused them to look up/down and say: "More Ronins/Sailors?"
Water and Thunder smiled knowingly.
"Yes, they have guardians as well." Thunder said, reaching up to pet Nexia, who had shrunk and was resting on her shoulder.
"Haruka, or Sailor Uranus, has the cougar Titan. Her partner-in-crime, Michiru, or Sailor Neptune, has twin doves called Neptune and Poseidon. Setsuna, or Sailor Pluto, is protected by Innova, a black leopard, and Hotaru, or Sailor Saturn, has a glowing, fairy-like creature named Dark Rose. Lady Kayura also has a guardian, a great white wolf named Stardust."
"As for the Warlords," Kat started again, still rubbing Celest's head. "Anubis is guarded by Gami, a black tiger. Dais has twin spiders called Serenity and Tranquility. Poison the python try's to keep Sekhmet out of trouble, and Kale has NightIce."
"Ano...Kat?" Ryo said, biting his lip and looking past Serena and her odango's to the ground.
"Yes, Wildfire?"
"Well, since Byakuen's not my...guardian...then, does he have one? And what about his twin? And Talpa? And...?"
"So many questions you have, Wildfire." interrupted a ^VERY^ familiar voice. All of the Ronins eyes got wide as they looked to the source of the voice: The lake. *A deep, creepy, echo-ey voice says that.*
"Hey, there, odango-head." came another voice, this time familiar to the Sailors. They all looked at the lake as well.
"Was that...?" Lita and Kento asked.
"Yup!" Thunder said, smiling proudly.
"But how...?" stated Mia.
"SHUT THE F*CK UP!" came a loud (VERY loud!), angry, cackling female voice. Everyone that could turned and saw the emerald-haired girl that had attacked Kat.
"Oh, yeah. We forgot 'bout you, Emerald." Ari said, saying her name mockingly.
The girl, Emerald, began to literally throw off sparks. Her coal black eyes glowed green, and a green aura surrounded her.
"I'll take care of her." Ari said.
Nexia took off and began flying circles around the two. Ari pulled her sword off her back and raised it above her head. Green energy surrounded her, and Nexia began to glow green. Then, a bolt of lightning struck the pair and surrounded them.
Emerald put her hands in front of her, heels touching. Green energy began to gather there, lightning mixed in.
Ari's sword began to glow as green energy and lightning encased it.
"Take this!" Emerald yelled.
The attack hit the energy around Ari, but the energy also doubled as a shield.
Then, Ari yelled: "Lightning Storm Crash!" as she swung her sword down to point at Emerald. The energy engulfed her and she screamed in agony before passing out and falling towards the water.
Kat had called her trident back and raised it as she fell. The water literally rose to meet Emeralds falling body and surrounded her, creating a bubble. Then, it acted like a rope and pulled her towards the pyro's bubble, stopping with them a few feet apart. Everyone, yet again, had their jaws on the floor, save for Celest, Ari, Nexia, and Byakuen.
"Will you all please close your mouths?" came another voice from 'The Lake'. This one was very motherly and elegant, unlike the second, which sounded male, and the first, which echoed.
"Yes, it is terribly rude in front of all us ladies. And Anubis and Dais." came the first voice again.
"Ano...Miss Kat?" Cye said, eyes still fixed on the lake.
"Yes, Torrent?" she replied, knowing what was coming.
"Just ^WHO^, exactly, in under there, anyway?" he said, his British accent oddly thick and his voice unusually soft.
"Well, besides the two obvious, there's Haruka, Anubis, Michiru, Sekhmet, Setsuna, Kale, Hotaru, Dais, Kayura, Helious, Tiger's Eye, Fishes Eye, Hawk's Eye, Sailors Ceres, Juno, Vesta, and Pallas, Sailors Star Maker, Fighter, Healer, and their Princess, and....." Kat paused for a moment, closing her eyes as if remembering, then whispered "Sateru."

^whistles^ This was a loooooooooonnnnnnnnnng one. Sorry it took me so long to get out, but I was having a few creative problems along the way. Thank you so, so, so, so, SO much, Natakoa-chan! She helped me come up with guardians and their names.
Yes, it is a cliffhanger. I have no idea when chap. 15 will be out, due to the fact that it's not even STARTED. I will, hopefully, get a few one-shots out soon, though.
That's all I can think of. Hope you're liking it so far!
Oh! You may, if you haven't already, want to me on your AuthorAlert, if you have one. Might save ya some time.
~~Katalinia~~
P.S.- Since this was so long (7 pages in my notebook, 6 on the comp.), don't be expecting the next out too soon. It took me FOREVER to get this one out.
