Chapter 7
"Usagi!" Sailor Earth X said as she pounded on the Tsukino's door.
"Who are you?!" asked Usagi as she opened the door. She looked as if she had been sleeping. A sweat drop appeared on Earth X's face once more.
"Opps... That's right... You don't recognize me..." she said. "It's me! Aairo!"
"Aairo? Why are you dressed like that? You look like a Sailor Senshi. And you are...17? How the heck did that happen? Last time I checked you were 10!"
"Well... er..." Earth X's face grew red, knowing she would get into some trouble with Mutashi for taking her crystal. "Well... Here's the story... Me and Mutashi, Koneko, Amamizu, Akutenshi and Kusanagi... are kinda... Sailor Senshi... The Sailor Senshi X to be exact... and well... Me and ChibiUsa kinda took yours and Mutashi's crystals to transform into Sailor Earth and Sailor Earth X... and well... ChibiUsa's in trouble..."
"What's going on down there?!" Mutashi asked from the top of the stairs. "Who's got my crystal?!?!"
"Don't say that!" cried Aairo as her size reduced and she became Sailor Chibi Moon X once more. She knew it was too late, ChibiUsa would be Sailor Chibi Moon in no time, and wouldn't have enough strength to fight alone.
"Aairo! What are you doing with my crystal?!" Mutashi shouted. Usagi blinked a few times.
"Crystal?" she repeated. Mutashi giggled nervously.
"Yeah Usa-... er... I should say... Eternal Sailor Moon..." she replied. "I'm Eternal Sailor Moon X, leader of the Sailor Senshi X!" Mutashi smiled proudly.
"You mean it was you who saved those two guys, Kan and Yukai?!" Usagi asked in surprise. Mutashi smiled weakly.
"Well... That was Koneko and Akutenshi... They kinda disobeyed orders..."
"Enough chit-chat!" Aairo yelled. "ChibiUsa's in trouble! We've got to save her!" Mutashi nodded, and turned to Usagi.
"Since you can't transform yet, call the Senshi and inform them of what's going on. And remember to tell them to bring their twins, the Sailor Senshi X!" she said, taking her crystal back from Aairo, then raising it into the air. "Moon X Eternal! Make Up!"
"Sailor Senshi! Sailor Senshi X? HELLO?! Can any one here me?!" Usagi yelled into the communicator.
"What?!" a chorus of voices asked in unison.
"Sailor Chibi Moon is in trouble! Transform and head to..." Usagi stopped and looked down at Sailor Chibi Moon X. "What street was it?" Chibi Moon X grabbed the communicator out of Usagi's hands.
"Main Street! And hurry! Sailor Moon doesn't have her locket and can't transform! Everyone! Both Sailor Senshi and Sailor Senshi X! Go to main street! I'll explain later!" And with that, she turned off the communicator and gave it back to Usagi, Usagi ripped it out of her hands and crossed her arms.
"What are we waiting for!" a voice asked. Sailor Chibi Moon X and Usagi turned to see Eternal Sailor Moon X standing proudly. "Let's go!" she said as she ran out of the door. Chibi Moon X and Usagi nodded and followed.
"Akutenshi?" Makoto asked as she looked around her apartment. "Where'd she go?" she asked confused. She gave a sigh. "Well I can't wait for her..." With that Makoto ran to the door and out onto the wet street, pulling out a green transformation tool.
"Jupiter Crystal Power, Make up!" she shouted, the electricity floating around her and transforming her into Super Sailor Jupiter. "Please Akutenshi... Show up..." she whispered.
Meanwhile, a girl wearing a pink and green fuku watched her sister running towards the battle. "I'm sorry Makoto..." Sailor Jupiter X whispered. "I've got something I have to do... I'll return as soon as I can..." And with that, she ran in the opposite direction and stopped in the park, reaching up to her necklace.
"Power of the mighty Jupiter..." she whispered. "Guard me on my quest..." There was a bright light that emanated from the pink '4' symbol on the necklace that filled the area. When the light vanished, Akutenshi, or Super Sailor Jupiter X, was no where to be seen....
Meanwhile.....
"Okay," asked Usagi. "Is everyone here?"
"I think so." replied Mutashi. Usagi was still not transformed.
"Okay," said Makoto. "The first thing that we need to do is find Sailor Chibi Moon so Usagi can transform. Ami, Amamizu, can you use your computers to track her down?"
"I don't know if mine is strong enough." replied Amamizu taking hers out.
"That's okay," said Ami. "I think that mine works." Ami and Amamizu did some calculations together and they found out where they needed to go.
"It's should be straight up ahead." Said Amamizu looking confused. "But there is no one there."
"That's because it's covered in a fog. They thought that if they did that we would not be able to find them, boy were they wrong!" replied Rei.
"HAHAHA!" The girls heard several shrill laughs. They covered there ears at the sound of it.
"Nrigrite, last commanding officer..."
"Baneful, third commanding officer..."
"Flagitorious, second commanding officer..."
"And Pernicious... Lead commander of this operation..."
"We should have known." Said Usagi with a scowl on her face.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the sailor senshi." said Nrigrite with a laugh.
"What did you do with Chibi Usa?" Demanded Koneko, Sailor Mars X.
"Who?" Said Baneful slightly confused. Then she remembered. "Oh, you mean the little brat who tried to challenge us? She mysteriously disappeared leaving behind this crystal." She pulled the crystal out of her pocket. Usagi gasped. Rei quickly pulled her away.
"Is the crystal of any importance to you?" asked Pernicious with a sly smile on her face.
"That one? No, that's just Chibi Usa's toy that our parents gave to us when we were little. It plays a sweet little lullaby if you push that button." replied Usagi.
"Oh really?" asked Flagitorious. He took the crystal and pushed the button. All of a sudden a blinding white light filled the room and the crystal flew into Usagi's hand. Then behind them Chibi Usa appeared. The enemy was momentarily paralyzed and could not move.
"Where have you been?" asked Usagi shaking her.
"Well, I couldn't very well fight without your crystal because the Sailor Earth affect hadn't worn off yet, so I used my crystal to make me disappear until you got your crystal back."
"Good thinking, but you and Usagi need to transform." said Koneko with a smile. "The paralysis is wearing off." Everyone turned around to see that she was right. The four were almost able to stand up.
"Moon Crisis!"
"Eternal Moon!"
Chibi Usa and Sailor Moon were now in their sailor senshi outfits. Just in time too. The enemy could now move completely.
"You are so out numbered, why don't you just give up peacefully?" Said Sailor Moon X glaring at the four.
"Give up? Why? We know we can beat you easily, no Matter what the odds are." Said Nrigrite.
"Well lets see now," said Sailor Mercury X with a smile. There are twelve of us, and there are four of you. Do you honestly think that you can win?"
"Of course. Haven't you every been taught to know your enemy? Well you certainly don't know us otherwise you would know that we are some of her majesties best warriors."
"Whatever." Said Sailor Mars X rolling her eyes.
"We'll prove it then, which of you wants to go first."
"I don't think that it's fair for all of us to fight you." replied Sailor Jupiter.
"So pick your four best people and they'll go against us, since you think it will take all of you instead of just one to fight us off." said Pernicious.
"You know what?" Said Sailor Mars. "You are really starting to piss me off. You're asking for it." She turned to the rest of the group. "You guys go to the secret place where you can watch us and me and Koneko will take care of these four. Don't argue, just go." The rest of the group looked at each other and nodded. Everyone except for Rei and Koneko held hands in a circle.
"Mercury X Crystal Power!"
"Venus X Crystal Power!"
"Chibi Moon X Crystal Power!"
"Cosmic Moon X Power!"
"Mercury Crystal Power!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power!"
"Venus Crystal Power!"
"Chibi Moon Crystal Power!"
"Cosmic Moon Power!"
"Sailor Teleport Power!"
With that everyone disappeared. Koneko and Rei looked at each other and nodded.
"Prepare to eat dust!" cried Rei.
"You are going to have to defeat us, if you ever want to defeat our queen. And this should be a picnic because we can beat you in a heartbeat." Said Baneful.
"All talk? Can't you fight?" asked Koneko in a smart alec tone of voice which made the other four angry, Rei just laughed. "Mars X Burning Creeper!"
"Mars Fire Sniper!" cried Rei at the same time. Both of their powers flew towards the enemy. Baneful and Nrigrite were not paying attention so the blasts of energy hit them at full speed. They flew backwards, blood everywhere and unconscious. Pernicious and Flagitorious looked at the two girl with a look of furry in their eyes.
"Diamond Dust Freeze!" Screamed Pernicious. Ice crystals flew out of her hands towards the two Sailor Scouts.
"Mars Fire Sniper!" Screamed Rei. The fire overtook the ice melting it. But it didn't stop there. Before Pernicious realized what had happened the fire was about two inches from her face. Realizing that it was too late to do anything she stood there mesmerized. The fire hit her with full blast and she too went flying backwards. She was now dead, and the other two had already died. This left Flagitorious.
"Prepare to die!!!!" He shrieked. "You will pay for hurting my family. Dark Thunder Storm Electrify!" Energy went flying towards the girls. Koneko dodged it but it hit Rei, not too hard, but enough to injure her seriously.
"Rei!!!!!" Koneko cried rushing towards her. "You witch! You will die! Mars X Fiery Rage Storm!" A stream of fire surrounded Flagitorious and enveloped her, killing her instantly. Koneko then ran back to Rei. "Sailor Teleport!" With that she was gone.
« Z «
"Is she okay?" asked Koneko as Ami looked at Rei.
"Yah, she'll be fine, she just needs rest." replied Ami reassuringly.
"You guys?" asked Lita all of a sudden.
"What?" Everyone asked at the same time.
"Did you notice that when we did our sailor teleport that it felt like something was missing and the teleport took longer than normal?"
"Yah, now that you mention it, it did." replied Mutashi.
"Where is Akutenshi?" asked Chibi Usa all of a sudden.
"Oh shit!" cried Koneko. Everyone looked at her in surprise. "Sorry, but I think the verse-verse captured her somehow."
"But wouldn't we have noticed?" asked Amamizu.
"I don't know but it sure explains a lot." said Makoto looking around.
"But she wasn't there when the battle started, was she Makoto?" Usagi asked as she turned to her friend. Makoto sighed and shook her head.
"No... She wasn't in the apartment when I left... I figured she already heard and was there at the battle..." Makoto replied with a grim look. "I called home again after the fight, and she still wasn't there..."
"Does that mean that she was really taken by the engravers?" Aairo asked as she looked over the table that the group sat around.
"Wow... And I was kinda kidding..." Koneko replied with a small laugh.
"Koneko... This isn't a Matter to be kidding about!" Minako scolded. "Akutenshi's missing and she might have actually been taken!" Koneko frowned.
Makoto's fist hit the table harshly and all eyes turned to her. "No..." Makoto whispered angrily. "She wouldn't have given in to them... She would have died fighting... She's too stubborn to give in without a fight..."
"Don't I know..." Koneko replied, leaning back. Makoto got up slowly.
"Where are you going?" Kusanagi asked as Makoto headed for the door.
"Home... Give Rei my best wishes when she wakes up, alright?" And without even waiting for a reply, she exited and began leaving the Shrine. Usagi scrambled up and ran after her.
"Makoto!" she called as her feet stopped at the porch of the shrine. Makoto looked back at Usagi curiously, though sternly. Usagi gave a soft smile. "She's alright! I'm sure of it..."
Makoto smiled in return. "I hope your right..." she whispered back before continuing down the shrine steps and to the street below. Usagi frowned and looked up at the sky.
'Please let Akutenshi be alright... Please have her come home soon...' she thought.

"Pitiful children..." Malfeacance muttered as she looked deep into the darkness of her thrown room. "They think they may conquer such a tiny planet by themselves... but they were weak..."
Her grip on the golden goblet she was holding tightened. She threw it across the room, the red liquid staining the floor and the golden cup clinging as hit came to a rolling stop. The queen gave a long smirk. "But you won't be so foolish now will you...?" she asked to pure darkness.
"Of course not your highness..." a mechanical female voice replied as though it came from the darkness itself.
"I'm glad..." the queen whispered and smirked as she crossed one leg over the other. "Have you chosen a suitable human form to take on to go to earth?"
"Yes my queen..."
"Oh really?" Malfeacance gave another smirk. "May I have a free peak, Isis?"
"At your command my queen..." the mechanical voice replied. A figure shifted and walked out of the darkness and into the dim light of the candles and lamps. Her brown hair wavered about her lightly, her dark green outfit fitting tightly around her body, her eyes closed.
"How lovely..." the queen said with a smirk. "You should fit in quite well then... Spandex and all..."
The seventeen year old girl opened her magnificent sky blue eyes and smirked. A wave of dark substance surrounded the unmoving figure and enclosed itself around her, then melted off, revealing a new outfit, one of long, somewhat baggy blue jeans and a white shirt with a black over coat.
"I'm impressed... In just a few days you've learned the trends on earth!" the queen said with a laugh. Isis smirked. "Anyway... Plan for your mission... I need energy... and I need it quickly... Find a suitable source..."
Isis bowed and smirked. "Yes your highness..." the girl replied with a normal, human voice as she disappeared back into the darkness.

Sailor Jupiter X stood motionless, looking into the dark night sky littered with stars and a bright crescent moon. She sighed from her standing point on the docks and looked down into the blue ocean. "Well... I guess this is it..." she whispered. She gave one last look at the city lights of Tokyo and frowned.
"Best wishes to you Senshi... And stay safe Makoto..." she whispered, the night wind sweeping away her words. She turned back to the ocean, her sadness being swept away with the wind, and a new courage arising in her.
"Guardian Jupiter..." she said in a proud voice. "I ask for your services... Come aid me in my quest!"
Sailor Jupiter X's body rose upwards as if it was flying and a green shield formed around her body and her princess dress, which she had not worn in ages wrapping around her body and the pink symbol of Jupiter appearing as she lowered into the ocean, the glow of the shield fading as she continued deeper into the water.
The ocean waves moved as they had before her arrival... And the wind blew softly as if nothing had happened...
"Usagi!" Sailor Earth X said as she pounded on the Tsukino's door.
"Who are you?!" asked Usagi as she opened the door. She looked as if she had been sleeping. A sweat drop appeared on Earth X's face once more.

"Don't say that!" cried Aairo as her size reduced and she became Sailor Chibi Moon X once more. She knew it was too late, ChibiUsa would be Sailor Chibi Moon in no time, and wouldn't have enough strength to fight alone.
