Author's Notes: I've been busy and the fact is that my computer has been having problems but I'm still alive, thank you.
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 and some spells comes from Wizards of the Coast. So please don't sue me!!!
Consecutive Battles - Whispers of the Muse
"Awwww...did poor little Parallax get hurt?" The chamber exploded with laughter from the others. Parallax finished his regeneration calmly and departed. "I would like to see the rest of you come up with a better plan by 1400 hours." The door slammed shut behind him. Omicron gave a small amazed look. "He actually handled our teasing well." Nexus moved to another part of the room to start planning. "Well, he finally got put in his place thanks to our friend. Maybe next time, he will actually work with us rather than try to do everything on his own." Shyft and Raganok simultaneously muttered a 'whatever'.
I stared at the computer screen as it gave me rough estimates. The fact that it takes this long to power up an attack boggles the mind. What's even more disturbing is the fact that the enemy just stands there like an idiot and lets itself be destroyed by the Sailors. Knowing the Order, the Sailors won't get that type of chance.
"First Serena starts getting depressed and now Rini. This is ridiculous!!" Raye crossed her arms as she paced around the room. "The only thing the two had in common before this depression occured is that our friend from another dimension has talked to them," stated Darien. Amara cracked her knuckles. "I would like to have a little chat of my own with him!!"
The day seemed normal enough. So far, the Order has kept quiet but I still had to be on my guard. It was pretty easy to blend in with a crowd with the right fashion. My sixth sense started to kick in. I knew that the Order would eventually start creating a mess. I ducked in a corner to check where the Order was with my laptop and put on my armour before heading out.
"Damn...where are they?" Raganok glared at Shyft. "We just started, alright? As soon as they get here, we can try to add them to our collection." In a moment, eight Sailors and a guy in a tuxedo and a cape arrived on the scene. Before they could say any speeches, tentacles whipped out from the ground to squeeze the costumed heroes. "Their powers should be able to enhance the project nicely. Begin duplication!!"
"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!!!" The tentacles snapped apart as Shyft and Raganok whirled around to locate the troublesome Moon Princess. "I can never allow creeps such as you to harm our friends!!! I'm Sailor Moon and in the name of the Moon..." Another voice, smaller, started to speak. "...and the future Moon..." The girls finished the speech together. "...we will punish you!!!"
Shyft and Raganok gave a small sweatdrop. I can't say I blame them. I guess it's the fact that the Sailors' speeches have absolutely no purpose but to make them look like total idiots. I decided to step out at that moment...with a little surprise for them both. They heard my footsteps and turned around to face me. "Catch!!!" I hurled the Lava Axe at the two of them. A huge explosion occurred, blinding them. Pinky took this opportunity to use the Pink Sugar Heart Attack. I buried my shaking head into my hands. "Good grief..."
During the spinning part of the Pink Sugar Heart Attack, Raganok had already recovered and dashed forward to knee Pinky in the stomach. Before he brought his staff down on her, I blocked the blow with my Psi-Sword. "Move your ass, Pinky!!!" Sailor Moon grabbed her future daughter before Pinky could come back with a retort.
I quickly punched Raganok's stomach. He started to fall over in pain, giving me time to escape. I regrouped with the two Moon princesses. The other Sailors and Cape Boy were still trying to recover from the sticky tentacles. "Do you two know that it takes way too long for you guys to power up an attack? Let me show you how a more efficient way." Before they could react, I took both of their wands, ran up to Shyft and knocked him out by whamming him on the head ten times with both wands.
"They're practically made out of a combination of diamond, adamantium and other hard substances on this planet!! They're more effective as a club than as an energy attack!!" A bewildered look fell upon Pinky's face as well as Serenity's. I gave a childish grin before running up to knock out Raganok the same way.
A few seconds later, Omicron and Nexus appeared out of nowhere. "This has got to be the most embarassing defeat in the history of the Order." Nexus attempted to look on the bright side. "At least we got what we needed. Let's go!!" They picked up their fallen comrades and the spark of energy stolen from the initial encounter.
'What are they planning?' I used telepathy and got a few images before they put up a telepathic block. Omicron wagged his finger. "No peeking at your surprise!" A bright light went off and they were gone. I tossed the wands back to their rightful owners and slowly floated into the air. "Normally I would lecture you girls about the uselessness of spinning around to power up an attack but I have other more pressing matters to attend to."
I started to ponder how the hell I'm going to handle the Order's latest project. This is obviously no ordinary project. They're doing the same thing they did to me several years ago but with one major exception. The new being will have the ability to tap into the planets of the solar system just like the Sailors can. Also this being is one of the rare symbiotes as well. I stopped my flight for a moment to hear the gentle whispers in the wind. Slowly, an idea popped into my head. I chuckled to myself, thinking about how the hell the Order is going to be able to handle two demi-Gods.
The spark was carefuly placed in the computer. "We're all ready to begin." Parallax gave a sinister smile. Electricity started to energize the computer and the cold, steel bed on which their latest creation lay on. After several seconds, the electricity flow was stopped. The being underneath the blanket began to stir. He tossed it off and blinked slowly, adjusting to the light.
It took him a few minutes to finally get his vocals straightened out. "Where am I? Who am I?" He raised a hand and looked at it. Rather than a hand, it almost looked like a blue claw. "What am I for that matter?" Parallax stepped forward to speak with their new friend. "Those questions can be answered a bit later. Right now, we should be celebrating for you are the key to our glorious future!!!"
This wasn't a very good chapter. A bit of writer's block. Don't worry...things should get interesting soon!!!
