As the group looked towards the roof to see who had spoke, three creatures formed from the balls released by the being. It then laughed and bound away from the house. Sage was the first to react. "Come on, we have to stop it!" "Actually, I think we ought to stop them first", Li said pointing towards the things with his sword. Meilin nodded and took and offensive fighting stance next to him. Serena looked over at Sakura, who was nervously holding a clow card. She seemed to be more concerned more by the person who spoke than the threat of the monsters. Sage reached for her brooch and said to the scouts, "Let's transform in case they try to attack. Solar Celestial Power!" As the scouts followed the lead of the new girl, Serena looked stupidly at her brooch. It seemed so much weaker than it had before she became a Cardcaptor. Yue notice the concerned look in her face and move towards her. He seemed to have startled her from the zone she had just slipped into, because when he touched her shoulder, the nearly hurled the brooch in his face. "Let me see it and your clow key". Serena gave him both items and watched at they glowed a shining pinkish-silver. The two articles seemed to fuse into one large compact. When Yue handed it back to Serena, she was over come by an exuberant burst of power. "Whoa, whatever you did, thank you. Now, it's time to get down to business... Eternal Moon Supreme Power!!" The scouts watched as their leader transformed into a new uniform, pull out her wand and smiled cockily at her enemies. "All right, nega-trash, prepared to perish!" Two of the monster jumped at Sailor Moon, each with glistening blades aimed at her neck. She easily dodged both beasts and kicked one in the head while slapping the other with her wand. She smiled at her bewildered friends and said, "Hey, don't look so surprised. I was going to be graceful one day." Sailor Solaria nodded at her new comrade and said, "Let's split up. Outers, you all try to find our mystery guest. Inners, you all make sure neither Sakura nor her friends get hurt. Sailor Moon and I will fight the monsters. Everyone cool?" Since none of the others objected, Solaria leapt to Sailor Moon's side and they both took fighting stances against the two stunned monsters. As both duos charged each other each felt the presence of another force. Oblivious to anyone, the third monster had been charging up an attack since it appeared. It slowly began walking towards the group of Cardcaptors protected by the Inners. It marched closer to the group even as the scouts primed to attack it. Lifting a single finger, it shot beams that encased each of the Scouts inside red energy fields. Try as they might, none of them could break free. Luna, who had left to go find Artemis minutes after Sakura's cards changed, flitted slowly above battle zone. She signaled to Artie to do his task while no one was looking. He snuck past the circle of trapped scouts, did his mission (no, he didn't use the bathroom, weirdos O_O) and quickly ran back to his hiding spot. He was shocked at Luna's new personality but he felt safer now that she could defend them both. 'I'm no wimp', Artemis thought to himself, 'but if she can fight without me, hey why argue. I would only get in the way.' At that thought, the cat began to pity himself because he had to depend on a girl to protect him. The battle between the two scouts finally came to an end when both girls jumped into the air, each with their weapons drawn (Solaria has glaive like Saturn's except it has three blades), and summoned enough power to finish of a monster. "Moon Shining Flash!!" "Solar Light Flare!!" Both monsters were turned to dust and blown away by the wind. The third monster continued to power up energy even as the girls strutted towards it. The girls stopped about six feet away from and readied themselves to attack. The beast looked at his adversaries and smiled. Both girls gritted their teeth and braced themselves for the worse. The creature motioned its head to the red barriers that held the unconscious Sailor Scouts. All of them were a pale color and was emitting a glow of energy that was fading. "Oh no! It's killing them", Sailor Moon shouted. Solaria filled her staff with energy and shot it at the cases. The attack was not only deflected, but the glaive got caught in the casing. While she was distracted, the monster shot a beam, also encasing her. "Damn!!! Moon, can you do this alone?" Sailor Moon looked at her friends and let the tears stroll down her cheeks. She suddenly remembered the time something similar had happened to her. Her friends were by her side every minute. She would not let them down now. "Yeah. I will not fail any of you..." She looked at the smiling beast and raised her wand into the air. Closing her eyes, Sailor Moon called on all the power she could. Then in broad daylight, a beam of light from the moon shot from the sky and surrounded her. She opened her eyes and was face to face with a ninja. The ninja looked at her curiously and turned to glance at the glowing monster. The ninja looked back at Sailor Moon, then leapt into the sky. There, it shot a barrage of energy balls at the monster, one of, which destroyed the attack aimed at Sailor Moon. After clearing the cloud of smoke, the monster lunged at its attacker. The ninja easily dodged the attack and wailed upon the beast with all its might. After several minutes though, the monster got the upper hand and soon the ninja came crashing to the ground. Sailor Moon ran to her rescuer's aid and when she touched him, she felt an essence she had felt a few days before. "You're a Clow card", she whispered and the wounded ninja looked up at her. "Yes. But don't worry about me, go save your friends", it said weakly. Standing, Sailor Moon lowered her wand just above the ninja's head and said, "Ninja Card return to your power confined!" When the capture was complete, Sailor Moon looked at the card sadly. It had risked its life to save hers. 'Another person to thank', she thought out loud. She looked up at the bastard of a beast that had hurt so many close to her. Without blinking an eye, she shouted "Moon Divine Strike!!!" In seconds, the force of energy that had been released not only freed her friends, but destroyed the projectiles aimed her and eradicated the monster.
The awakening scouts looked up and saw a crying Serena, and concerned faces of Sakura, Li, Meilin, Julian, Luna, and Kero. Raye sat up first and looked around the room of her friends and someone tied up behind Alex. All though she was dizzy and confused, she managed to say, "Thanks, Serena, I owe you one." About an hour later, all the scouts were up and well again. Sage had thanked Serena several hundreds of times during the day. Serena had told them what had happened, about the Ninja card fighting for her before it was even captured, and how the power of love helped her defeat the final 'Breaker. She also told them that the one on the roof had been Dr. Hashew, and he had been alive since the day of the "lost and found destinies", as Lita called it. During most of the scouts' recovery, Serena had been either crying, pacing or both. They were told, they had slept two days straight and Serena had been by their sides the whole time, making sure nothing could stop them from recovering completely. Heather had offered to stay and sit with her, which was a blessing. Now, three days after the hard battle, fatigue had gotten the best of Serena and Luna actually let her sleep in a few more hours.
Another chapter, another hope. Let me know if I should quit now or continue, thanks for the support. Ancient Sun.
