Chapter 5 - New Arrivals
"You're coming back with us." Ryo said again.
"Why should I?!" Usagi demanded, her eyes narrowing on Ryo.
"Because, I won't let you spend the night outside in the cold." Ryo said, taking her hand. She shivered slightly, feeling all the warmth leave her body.
"What was that?" She asked, looking around.
"What was what?" Ryo asked, a look of confusion on his face.
"I just felt something evil. It feels so cold." She said, hugging herself.
"I think she's right, there's something here." Sage said, sensing something.
"Come on, we better get out of here then." Kento said, walking away from them. He stopped, seeing a pair of red glowing eyes in the darkness. Moments later, many more sets appeared, slowly approaching the group of people.
"What's going on?!?" Sage demanded, seeing the human-like youma approaching them. They didn't look like Tulpa's creatures, but they did wear a similar armor and slowly walked towards the group, holding their weapons tightly in their fists, preparing to attack.
"It can't be…" Usagi said, a memory suddenly coming into her head.
"What can't be?!" Ryo demanded hurriedly transforming into his red and white armor.
"I remember those things from the Moon Kingdom.." She whispered. "My mother trapped their master though. How can he have broken loose?!"
"Moon Kingdom?!?" Sage cried, not knowing what in the world was going on.
"I won't stand for this!!" Usagi shouted, putting her hand in the air. 'I hope this works' She thought to herself, remembering the words her father had told her. "Armor of Purity, tao jin!!!" She shouted. The white armor appeared around her, the deep purple looking like black in the moonlight.
"Nani?!?" The three shouted, staring at her in shock.
"Where did you get that?!?" Ryo demanded, feeling betrayed.
"I'll explain later, we have to get rid of these guys!" Usagi shouted, a long staff appearing in her hand. "White Cosmic Rainstorm!!" Usagi shouted, pointing her staff at the mobs of enemies that were heading for them. Pure white energy came out of the staff, heading straight for the enemies before them.
"Flare Up NOW!!" Ryo.
"Thunderbolt CUT!!" Sage.
"Iron Rock CRUSHER!!" Kento.
The four attacks destroyed several of the youma that kept coming. There was no end to them, the four of them wouldn't be able to destroy all of them by themselves.
"We don't have enough power!!" Usagi shouted, putting more energy into her attack.
"Mars Flame SNIPER!!"
"Mercury Aqua RHAPSODY!!"
"Jupiter Oak EVOLUTION!!"
"Venus Love and Beauty SHOCK!!"
"Nani?!?" The three Ronin Warriors cried, seeing the new attacks hit the youma. Moments later, all the youma had been destroyed and a face appeared above them.
"What do you want?!?" Usagi demanded, taking a step towards the face in the sky.
"You should know that by now Serenity-sama. All is want is you, leave these weaklings and join me. We could rule the entire universe together, just you and I." He said, putting out a hand.
"I'd rather die a slow and painful death than join you!" Usagi spat.
"You'd better not lay a hand on her!!" Ryo shouted, feeling anger well up inside.
"We won't let you take her!!" The girl calling herself Sailor Mars said, putting a hand on Usagi's shoulder.
"I will return for you, my dear." The man said, blowing a kiss to a fuming Usagi.
"How did he get loose?!? Okaasan-chan trapped him!!" Usagi cried.
"You know him, Usa-chan?" Rei asked, not really noticing the three guys that were gaping at the four girls wearing mini-skirts.
"Umm.. Usagi-chan?" She heard Ryo's voice ask. She turned to see the pleading eyes of Ryo as the three other girls were fighting over him.
"Leave him alone!" Usagi snapped, pushing Minako away from her. She pushed them off him, putting her arms protectively around him. "What are you all doing here?!" Usagi demanded.
"We came to bring you back Usa-chan." Luna said, stepping out from behind Venus.
"Nani?!?" The three boys cried, as they tensed up. Kento, who had held his weapon ready to strike any of the four girls that tried anything funny, lowered his weapon to the cat, ready to strike.
"That cat just talked?!?" Sage cried.
"Will you all be quiet!" Usagi snapped.
"You have to come back, it's very important that you do!" Luna said.
"Iie," Usagi said simply. "I will not go back. This is where I belong."
"What are you talking about Usagi-chan?!" Minako asked, stepping away from the other girls.
"Okaasan told me who my father was and why I was brought here. I cannot abandon my friends, they need me here." Usagi said quietly.
"What about us?! We're your friends too odango atama!!" Rei snapped.
"Don't call her that!!" Ryo snapped, holding one of his swords to the throat of the girl with raven-black hair.
"Ryo-kun, it's all right," Usagi said, putting her hand on Ryo's arm, pulling the sword away. "This is my friend Rei. Don't hurt any of them. Or the cat." Usagi commented, looking over at Kento who still stood completely still, waiting for Luna to strike.
"You really do have to come back Usagi." A male voice said. A small white cat stepped out from behind the two girls standing alone, walking up behind the black one.
"Don't hurt him either," Usagi said, she walked over to Kento, her armor clanging against the ground and pulled his weapon from his hand, throwing it to the ground. "Did you hear me?" She asked, looking him in the eye.
"I heard you, I was just makin' sure." Kento said, putting his hands behind his head, a slight pink color came to his cheeks.
