Author's Notes: Well, there's only a few more episodes in the Sailor Moon S season for me in Canada. Then I can start ranting even more about how cheesy the villains are in the anime. I guess the final battle should be good. I repeat...should be.
Disclaimers: Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi, Rifts RPG belongs to Kevin Siembieda and Palladium Books, the Symbiotic Order is based loosely on original concepts created by Marvel Comics, physical appearances of Parallax, Nexus, Raganok, Shyft and Omicron are based on original designs by Mainframe Entertainment and Akira Toriyama. The name for this installment originally came from Community Programs Group. So please don't sue me!!!
Consecutive Battles - Tempest Fugitive
Silence filled the room after my last little speech. I was about to make a comment when an explosion was heard near the temple. We all turned to see what was going on. I could make out several soldiers, from different dimensions, terrorizing the locals with heavy weaponry rather than a scary appearance and weird powers a monster usually has. It was kind of obvious that this is the Order's doing but of course, the Sailors have no clue. Serenity told the others to transform.
"MOON COSMIC POWER!!"
"MARS STAR POWER!!!"
"MERCURY STAR POWER!!!"
"JUPITER STAR POWER!!!!"
"VENUS STAR POWER!!"
"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER!!"
"URANUS PLANET POWER!!!"
"PLUTO PLANET POWER!!!!"
I nearly had a nosebleed when I saw the transformation sequence. For crying out loud, what type of superheroes would have to become naked before the skimpy outfits come on? After they all transformed, I was too stunned to pass out or to have a heart attack. "You actually are comfortable transforming like that?" Before they could reply, I hastily decided not to find out and rushed towards an exit to fight the soldiers.
They were leaving the temple area and heading towards one of the streets. I quickly tossed a Sonic Grenade to try to separate the symbiotes. Unfortunately, the symbiotes were able to resist the loud noise created by the grenade. I silently swore as the Sailors ran up to make their speech.
"I cannot allow you to terrorize innocent people!! In the name of the Moon..." The soldiers aimed their weapons and fired. I made a mental note to lecture the Sailors about the uselessness of introductory speeches and posing. I drew my Particle Beam Rifle and fired a shot at the energy blast to create an explosion, thus saving the Sailors. One of the soldiers turned to see me. "Primary target detected." The soldiers started running towards my position.
I switched the shot to a burst rather than a single and prepared to fire. "Mercury Bubbles Blast!!!" A fog started to come into the vicinity. The soldiers were forced to stay at their positions. I grinned as I stretched my senses to feel the symbiotes nearby. "Gotcha..."
"Wait!" I noticed Serenity standing behind me. "Are they like the man back in the park?" I nodded. "They all have a symbiote attached to them. If I can't separate it from the host, I will kill the host to get to the symbiote. So what?" I shouldn't have said those last two words. "How can you say something like that? You take people's lives without any sense of remorse?!? You're no better than this Order you speak of!!!"
"Being a hero isn't all glory. You have to do everything you can to preserve the lives of your people, even if it means sacrificing a few people. Uranus and Neptune were forced to come to this conclusion when they started off on the journey to retrieve the three talismans!!" Serenity still persisted in saving the lives of the soldiers. "But nobody had to die in their situation and nobody will have to die now!! Let me try using the silver crystal. Please."
I stood silent before nodding. "I too would like to preserve lives without bloodshed. But don't expect me not to fire if your crystal doesn't work." She started to concentrate on the crystal in front of her. The other Sailors watched silently as it started to glow and shine light on the soldiers. After a few seconds, the crystal stopped glowing. I still sensed the symbiotes on the soldiers.
"The crystal's energy can only cleanse dark magic, not biological matter. I am afraid that I have no alternative." The fog started clearing up and the soldiers noticed the barrel of my Particle Beam Rifle. It took me ten seconds to kill all the hosts and their respective symbiotes. I looked at the silent Serenity. "You may have to get used to killing in order to save your world." Before I teleported away, I noticed the small shocked look on her face when she realized she could not weep for the lives that had been taken.
I'm sorry to all Darien fans(if there are any). I'll try to include him into the next installment. As for the final few episodes, the last one I saw had a pretty weird conclusion with a corny, evil laugh as the finisher. At least I can finally check out Saturn next week!!
