Chapter 13 - Legendary Treasures
"Pharaoh 90?" Usagi asked, her head tilting in confusion. "What are you talking about Yoshimi?" Yoshimi chuckled, an evil sound deep in the back of his throat.
"I'm not Yoshimi, how do you think I blocked that pitiful attack of yours?" Yoshimi said, his face twisting into an evil smirk making Usagi shutter slightly. "I've taken over Yoshimi's body, how do you think I knew where to find you? There's a lot of things that you don't know have been going on. You are so naïve it isn't even funny, princess." [A.N. I'm going to start calling Yoshimi Pharaoh 90 just so you know I'm talking bout him]
"What do you want? What are you after?" Usagi whispered in a quiet, frightened voice.
"I can't tell you my master plan yet," Pharaoh 90 said, his red eyes trailing over Usagi. "You're more beautiful than the legends say." He said, his eyes trailing from her head to her toes.
"Don't look at me." She said quietly, feeling the evil energy radiating from him.
"Now, first things first. Give me the Holy Grail." He said in a low voice.
"Holy Grail?" Usagi asked, a confused look on her face. "That's just a myth."
"Give it to me now!!" Pharaoh 90 demanded.
"I don't know where it is!" Usagi protested. "It's just some legend, it's not real!!"
"Let the princess go right now." A low voice ordered. Usagi turned toward the voice and saw the figure of two woman wearing Sailor fuku's. The one that had spoken had short blond hair with a dark blue and white fuku. The one that stood next to her had shoulder-length, wavy, aqua colored hair. She also wore a dark blue and white fuku,
"Who are you!" Pharaoh 90 demanded.
"We are the Senshi of the Outer solar system, strongest of the Senshi. " The one with blond hair started.
"We will not let you hurt our princess, I am Sailor Neptune!" The girl with aqua hair said, striking a pose.
"I am Sailor Uranus!" The other Senshi said, striking a different pose.
"We will fight your evil!" They said together.
"Sailor Uranus and Neptune?" Usagi asked, looking strangely at the two Senshi that stood before her. "How many scouts are there?" Usagi asked herself, looking at the two women. "Listen, you'd better get out of here!" Usagi said, turning her attention back to Pharaoh 90. "This guy's even stronger than the Doom Phantom and all of my Senshi died in the battle!" The two women jumped in front of Usagi, planting themselves firmly between Pharaoh 90 and Usagi. Usagi's hands were still bound together, but she didn't care. It was suicide for those women to attack him.
"More Sailor Senshi? I thought the Doom Phantom rid me of all the Senshi except for Sailor Moon?!" Pharaoh 90 cried in frustration. "No matter, they can't be too difficult to defeat.
"World SHAKING!!" Uranus called her attack [A.N. I'm being lazy, I don't feel like describing their attacks, you should all know what they are anyway]
"Deep SUBMERGE!!" Neptune called her attack. Usagi fiddled with the handcuffs, her training slowly coming back to her. A minute later, the handcuffs were off and she was reaching for her broach.
"Moon Crystal Power Make-UP!!" She shouted, holding the broach in the air. The familiar pink ribbons surrounded her body, forming the main part of her fuku, then her gloves, and next her boots. The skirt came next and the crescent moon blazed brightly on her forehead only to be covered by a tiara with a red gem in the center. "I am Sailor Moon!" She cried, striking her normal pose. "I won't let you hurt anyone else!" Sailor Moon cried, feeling anger well up inside of her, anger that she would have hid with fear had the Inner Senshi been there now. She looked over at Pharaoh 90, seeing that the Outer Senshi weren't fairing too well.
"I see that you both have pure hearts, maybe I'll take them and give them to my master." He said in his evil voice. A black star appeared on his chest and shot a black beam straight at both woman's heart. Sailor Moon watched in fear as the beam struck them, making them both cry out in pain. The slumped to the ground, a mirror and a dagger floating in the air above their bodies.
"What's going on?" Sailor Moon asked, herself, fearing the worse.
"Get the treasures…" A voice whispered to her. Sailor Moon didn't hesitate. She ran toward the two treasures that floated above their lifeless bodies.
"Don't touch them!" Pharaoh 90 cried in rage as Sailor Moon dove toward the treasures. She managed to grab them both, rolling out of the way of Pharaoh 90's attack seconds before it would have hit her. She ran from the room, gripping the treasures tightly, fearing that if Pharaoh 90 were to get a hold of them, all would be lost. Sailor Moon ran at top speed, turning down a long corridor. She heard footsteps of the soldiers that were following her as she raced down the hallway.
"Sailor Moon…" A voice whispered. Sailor Moon stopped dead in her tracks, looking at the woman in front of her.
"Sailor Pluto?" She asked, approaching the guardian of time. She heard the soldiers shouting as they ran through the hallways. As they rounding the corner, Sailor Moon took off her tiara, standing beside Sailor Pluto. "Moon Tiara Stardust!" She said, throwing the tiara at them. She watched at the soldiers fell to the ground in a deep sleep. "Pluto?" She asked, turning around to see that there was no one there. "Where'd she go?" Sailor Moon asked outloud.
"Psst… Usagi!" Sailor Moon heard a hushed voice. She peered into the darkness, seeing a door with bars over the windows. She walked over to the door, peeking through the bars to see the gundam pilots inside a small cell.
"Guys!" She cried as she pulled out her scepter. "Move away from the door!" She instructed. "Moon Princess Halation." She said in a low voice. The crescent moons flew from the end of the weapon, blowing the door off the hinges.
"Usa-chan," Quatre whispered as he took his princess in his arms. He held her against his body, breathing in her scent. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, princess."
"You did everything you could, Quatre-chan," Usagi whispered, kissing him lightly on the lips. Quatre broke the kiss when they heard a voice behind them. Heero got into a fighting stance ready to kill whoever it was but Usagi stopped him. "Wait!" She ordered Heero, putting a hand on his chest to make him stop. He looked at her and she shook her head, a stern look on her face. "Come on out Pluto, these boys can be trusted."
"Pluto?" Duo asked, his eyebrow raised. That's when he noticed the objects in Usagi's arms. "What are those?" He asked, pointing to the mirror and dagger she held.
"I… I don't know," She said, turning her attention back to the dark corridor. She heard a faint clicking of high heeled shoes. "Pluto please. I don't know what these are, please come out." Usagi begged. The six people stood in a small group, each one silent as a woman with dark green hair down to her waist stepped out of the darkness.
"Sailor Moon, we meet again," The woman said with a smile on her face. "And I see you've met Sailor Uranus and Neptune." She said, referring to the treasures in her arms. She took the top of her staff off and held it next to the other two treasures.
"What are they for?" Sailor Moon asked, seeing that they were starting to glow slightly.
"They were in the pure hearts of Sailor Neptune, Uranus, and myself. When they join together, they will form the Holy Grail. In the hands of the right person, it can bring complete destruction or it can completely heal everything." Pluto explained.
"That's what Pharaoh 90's after." Sailor Moon said quietly.
"Who's Pharaoh 90?" Quatre asked, putting a hand on Usagi's shoulder. He was surprised to see that the woman that stood in front of Usagi bowed at the waist, smiling at him.
"It's nice to meet you," Pluto started. "Neo King Quatre."
****
That's it for now, sorry I kinda rushed everything. I need a little time to think about everything I'm going to have happen. I still have to get everything straightened out and get a firm storyline going. Anyway, I hope you liked it and I hope to get the next chapter out soon. I REALLY like how this story is unfolding and I hope you enjoy it too. Just so you know, I'll probably have several more plot-twists before this fic is done (that's what I do best in my opinion). Anyway, review or email me at pokahydee@hotmail.com
}]i[{ my butterfly will bring those that review luck, those that don't… :P get a raspberry.
