Chapter Four
Sailor Virage
"You noticed it to?" Leenus landed. "She's far more powerful then either of us could even imagine. In time, she might even be able to defeat Falum himself!"
"Maybe," Shar replied. "Maybe, but I'm beggining to wonder if that's even the Moon Child we're fighting."
"Realy?" Leenus asked. "That has to be the Moon Child. We both saw her right in front of us."
"But that wasn't her that deflected my attack," Shar shook his head. "It couldn't have been. I felt something I've only felt once before when I encontoured such power."
Leenus' eyes widened in realazation. "She couldn't have. It's just not possible for her to do that."
"The Virage Embryo," Shar nodded. "The God of Destruction. I don't think she even knows what power she has tapped into. We're going to have to be careful."
"The Virage Embryo," Leenus repeated. "I guess your right. It's not the Moon Child we're fighting anymore; it's Sailor Virage."
"Sailor Moon!" the scouts ran up. "Are you okay?"
"Okay?" the scout laughed. "I'm even better then okay! I'm better then I ever was in my life!"
"Sailor Moon," Mini Moon looked at her. "What's going on? What's with your eyes? They don't look......right."
"They don't look right?" she smirked. "But this is how my eyes are supposed to look. They were wrong before and now I've corrected them. My eyes are just the first things to be corrected. I'm going to correct many things; a great many things indeed."
"Sailor Moon?" Mars ran up. "Mini Moon's right. Somethings wrong I can feel it."
"Somethings wrong?" the Moon Child laughed. "No, everythings perfectly in order. I see everything so clearly now. The Black Monster is my enemy, and all of my enemies shall be annihalated!"
"Hmmm?" Shar looked up. "A massive energy level's coming this way. Could it be Leenus? No, its much to high to be Leenus," he gasped. "She's here!"
"As perseptive as always," the Moon Child landed. "But your intuition will avail you nothing."
"What happened?" he asked. "You've changed. Your powers.....different. What have you done to Serena?"
"Why should you care?" she clenched a gauntleted fist. "It's time that we settle this. I'm going to send you to the next plane of reality!"
"We'll see about that!" the Black Monster flew fowards into the fight.
Punch, kick, dodge, repeat. The two warriors continued through the clearing at a blistering pace. Up, down, left, and right. The two moved through every direction.
"Give it up!" the Moon Child yelled as she punched down while flying up to match the other's speed. "You know I'm stronger then you!"
"Maybe," the other responded. "But power isn't the only factor. You also have to compute in skill!" He phased out to avoid a massive punch.
"Here I am!" he yelled as two mighty fists went together to slam their owner's opponent into the ground. "Poor Miss Tsukino, Math never was her subect." He then looked down. "What in the world?"
"Soul Flare!" a pure white sphere of life energy slammed into the Black Monster. "And here I am!" the fight continued; only this time with the Moon Child with a distinct advantage.
"Your a blight to this world," she sneered at the other fighter. "This planet would be a better place without you. I'll excorcise you now as punishment for your actions. Divine Blast!"
The Moon itself seemed to come out of it's orbit for a moment as the energy was being gathered. "Here's a souvenier to take to the Dark World!"
"Ahhhhhhh!" screamed the Black Monster as the shot connected......and went right through him. The sheer force slammed him into a rocky cliff, and the power of his impact took off a solid foot.
What is it with her? He looked up. How'd her power get to be so large. Challenge rating 48, challenge rating 52, this cannot be! Only there's something wrong. Her aura, it used to be warm with kindness but now its so cold and only radiating hate.
"It is over," she stated calmly. "Give up now and I promise you a peaceful death."
"Your not the first to have pierced my armor," the Black Monster forced himself up. "Nor will you be the last. I promised myself that I would fight untill the Reaper came, and I intend to keep that promise. I will, defeat you!"
"What just happened?" Jupiter asked again. "Since when could Sailor Moon fly like that?"
"I guess since the last few minutes," Mercury answered.
"Yeah," continued Mars. "Ever since that energy came. That energy....somethings just plain wrong with it. It felt like nothing be I've ever experienced before. Like pure rage and power."
"I don't know about that," Mini Moon added. "But there's sure something wrong. I've never seen her act like that before. Like all she wanted to do was destroy."
"We should follow her," Mars concluded. "That type of power was dangerouse, I'm sure of that. Sailor Moon could just as well destroy herself with that energy."
"Sky Arrow!" the Black Monster fired a bolt of solid condensed air out. "It's time we finish this!"
"You got that right!" the Moon Child phased in above him. "Star Children!" there was nothing for the Black Monster to do but fall as small stars of light cascaded from the sky. "And now the victory is mine!"
A screem came out as the Black Monster collided with the earth. "Back at you!"
"You fool!" the Moon Child yelled as she rushed foward; sword drawn.
The blade did it's purpose; piercing the Black Monster armor and all. The blade rushed through him, his armor, his bones, everything before it plunged out on the other side. "You should've known when to quit."
"No way," Leenus watched after arriving only seconds before. "She defeated Shar." And her challenge rating is still almost 46. Its almost like he wasn't even a challenge.
"Look!" Mini Moon pointed out. "She did it! She defeated him!"
No. This isn't right. Rei looked at her friend floating in the air. Somethings wrong. Her aura seems to savage. It's almost like how his was. Only instead of despair and fear their's rage and bitterness.
"Sailor Moon, no!" Mars yelled, but it was to late. The Moon Child blasted the Black Monster back down to the cliff base.
"Sailor Moon?" she looked up. "I'm no longer Sailor Moon. I've grown up. I am now Sailor Virage!"
Leenus gasped at what she heard. Is this, is this what Shar meant? Is this what he was afraid of? Her power is still enormouse, but it dosen't matter! I'll do it for Shar! "Moon Child!" she howled as she flew down.
