1 Chapter 2: The gathering of hero's

In Planet Metallia's core-

King Metallia: We have only one shot at stopping the other scouts and knights from fully knowing what happened. While Jupiter, Triton, and Morbid are on Venus's Ark, I want you to attack them, but be careful I want you to take 2 warriors, and if they fail, you will step in.

Juno: Of course master, I will not fail again.

King Metallia: See to it that you don't.

As Juno was leaving she pointed to 2 warriors one tall and the other short.

Juno: You two follow me to the surface.

On Venus's Ark-

Artemis: We're here!

Venus: Ok let them in.

Artemis pressed a few buttons and the ship teleported Jupiter, Triton, and Morbid onboard.

Venus: Hi, long time no see.

Morbid: It's only been two weeks.

Jupiter (whispering to Triton and Morbid): For her that's forever.

Triton: Is everyone else already at the moon?

Venus: Yeah, everyone except Mars and Pyre. I was heading to the moon when I got your message, once we get there it will be one big party.

On Metallia's Surface-

Juno, stood looking at the shadow brother's, they have no real names. One was tall and skinny, and the other short and fat. They looked like a black essence in a humanoid shape.

Juno: Ok you two go on ahead, and if you're about to be defeated send me a message and together, we will annihilate those pest.

The shadow brother's: Yessss. Mistresssss. Juno.

In a flash of light they were gone.

Juno: I'd like to see them get out of this one.

Back on Venus's Ark-

Artemis: Huh?

Venus: What is it?

Artemis: Sensor's are picking up two objects flying at high speeds, directly at us.

Venus: Take evasive actions.

Artemis: .It's too late!

The two brothers crashed into the Ark's hull, rocking the entire ship. They seeped into the Ark and worked they're way to the interior.

Jupiter: What was that?

Artemis: Weird, whatever that was it's still approaching this room.

Morbid: Just as I expected, whoever sent that creature we fought earlier, must be trying to silence us before we arrive at the moon.

Artemis: I'll send a message to the moon.

In another flash of light the two brothers's appeared in front of Artemis.

Shadow 1: I don't think sssooo.

Shadow 2: Hello, We are your executioners.

Morbid: Well, well, well. You think you can stop all four of us? Well. I could probably take you both on by myself, I don't know about these other weaklings.

Shadow 1: Oh ssshut up!

After saying this Shadow 1 smashed the communicator panel, on the computer.

Jupiter: Enough of this, Wild Surge..

Triton: WAIT!!! You'll destroy what's left of the computer.

Triton threw himself in front of Jupiter, absorbing all the electricity. Effectively knocking him out.

Jupiter: Opps, sorry Triton.

Shadow 2: Enough of this child's play take this!

Shadow 2 charged at Jupiter, he raised his fist to strike, but it was soon cut off by Morbid.

Morbid: Well at least you say more than die.

Shadow 2: My hand return to me!

Shadow 2's hand ran across the floor and jumped back into place.

Jupiter: I don't think your Death Twister will be too effective against these guys.

Venus: Love Cat Dagger!

A dagger appeared in front of Venus, she grabbed it and as charged at shadow 2. When she was within inches of him the jewel in the dagger's blade glowed brightly. There was a blinding light and when the light subsided Shadow 2 had cat claw marks all over him. Simultaneously they all glowed red, and Shadow 2 fell to the ground. The dagger disappeared.

Shadow 1: Brother! You will pay!

Triton: Royal Flush!

Triton fired a foot in diameter sphere of water from his trident at Shadow 1. Shadow 1, tried to rebound it, but the instant he touched the sphere, enveloped him. Shadow 1 tried to bust out of it, but it was futile. Within seconds, the sphere glowed briefly and bubbles filled the sphere. The sphere disappeared and Shadow 1 was on the ground smoking.

The Shadow brothers: We won't fall so easily.

The two shadows turned into a puddle and moved together. The puddle reformed and a new creature stood there. He hovered above the ground, and withered, clawed hands hang out of the sleeves, oh his robe. Where the hood there was only darkness.

Shade: Dark realm portal!

A black hole opened and sucked everyone in. When everyone came to they were on a giant chessboard in the middle of nowhere. Only darkness was visible outside of the chessboard.

Shade: Welcome to the dark realm, we think you'll just die over its beauty.

Jupiter: Only one here that would enjoy this type of place would be Morbid. I do like the place; it's a better place to fight then than the ship. At least now I can fight.

Shade: Enough! Wicked Claws!

Hundred's of hands flew out of the walls of darkness. All of them opened there claws and got ready to strike at the two Scouts, and two Knights.

Jupiter: Nice attack, however. Wild Surge!

The Surge flew everywhere, and struck every hand. The hands fell to the ground, and melted through the floor.

Shade: Nice move, but we expected that.

In the middle of the room a giant puddle formed, and then it turned into a giant claw. It flew at Jupiter at speeds faster than anyone could respond. It smashed her into the walls and then both the hand and Jupiter were gone.

Outside of the portal on Venus's Ark-

Artemis: We have a class one emergency; I repeat a class one emergency. Two monsters have attacked us. According to Jupiter, Triton, and Morbid, another attacked them earlier. We are near Planet Mars now, someone please respond.

Communicator: This is Mars. Fly down to my temple, and pick Pyre and me up.

Artemis: I'm on it.

Back in the Dark Realm-

Venus, Triton, and Morbid: Jupiter!

Shade: Hahahaha, just give up, and I might decide to let one of you live.

Triton: What have you done to Jupiter?

Shade: Oh, she's slowly being suffocated by the darkness, soon she will become one with the darkness, but if she has a strong will. I'm afraid that she will die.

Triton: NO!!!

Triton rushed at shade, and pulled out his rose.

Triton: Aqua Rose Mirage!

Shade was paralyzed from the attack.

Shade: No! I can't move. Juno here my cry, I am in need of thy help.

Venus: Juno?

Morbid: Enough of this, Death Twister!

Morbid leaped at Shade, grabbed the end of his chain, and started spinning. Shade was drawn in, but the high winds knocked the roses of his semi-solid body.

Shade: Disperse!

Shade turned into a gaseous form and avoided the attack.

Morbid: No!

Shade reformed away from the two Knights.

Venus: Triton, Morbid look out behind you.

Triton and Morbid turned around two late. Two balls of black electricity flew and hit both of them.

Juno: Hahahaha, you Knights are pathetic, and now to take care of the last one here.

Back on the Ark-

Artemis teleported both Pyre and Mars onboard the ship.

Artemis: Quickly there is a dark sphere here in the middle of the ship; they're all in there.

Mars: Right, this will be your final test Pyre. If you survive this battle, you will be a full- fledged Knight.

Pyre: Yes, mistress Mars.

Mars: Now transform Pyre!

Pyre: Mars Knight Power, Suit Up!

A fire emerged from Pyre and enveloped his entire body once he emerged he had become the Sailor Knight of Mars.

Sailor Knight Mars looked very similar to his original form, however his pants had turned red and he wore a headband and his hair seemed to intensify.

Mars: Let's go!

Mars and Pyre, jumped into the dark realm's portal.
