Hino Rein, currently Sailor Ares, was worried. None of the Omega's attacks
were effective against these two agents of Destruction. He was in great
pain himself, he was fairly sure he'd broken a few ribs. But, he knew, if
he went down, only Sailor Zeus would be left to protect the Princess. The
girl who'd been causing most of the mayhem laughed down at him. She was
tiny, with pretty violet hair and black and violet fairy wings. Yet,
underneath that, she burned with some unknown malice that Ares had never
before felt. He prepared himself for her next strike, and hoped that he
could survive it.
The lithe form floating in the air just before Rein grinned. Her face glowed with sadistic glee, and the red diamond mark on her forehead burned with excitement. She clenched her fist and powered up an energy blast to be the killing blow. The Prince of Mars threw up his arms in a feeble attempt to protect himself, and as the dark death descended upon him time seemed to slow.
"Miranda Sphere Splash!"
The two energies collided and crackled with tension and power, then suddenly dissolved. "His-his attack was effective... " Ares whispered in disbelief. He looked to the source of the saving grace. Sailor Europa and Sailor Miranda stood smirking in front of the thick stone wall in casual poses, but Rein noticed the way they were balanced, prepared to fight at the drop of a hat.
"Oooooooo!" an unearthly screech came from in front of him. The fairy-girl looked like she would have been stamping her feet if they'd been connected to the ground. "No fair!!! I was PLAYING!!"
"Hush, Abigail," the voice of the second enemy was calming and smooth. He was very attractive, with soft chocolate hair and pale blue eyes, but there was something unnerving about him, perhaps stemming from the red diamond displayed prominently on his forehead. "Remember, we were just playing until our guests arrived," He looked straight at Glenki, "And now they've arrived."
He was positioned ten feet up in the air, which gave him a very intimidating presence, enough so that the ordinary man would have felt his legs turn to jello. Sailor Europa didn't flinch or look away; she locked onto his face and smiled slightly. She started a slow strut forward, and Micheal followed. "Rein, please go take cover, and take your friends with you." This was said without a break in her stride or her gaze, and Rein knew that, while she's never hurt him directly, once she and her team started fighting, his safety would not be a priority. He quickly retreated, grabbing the lean Sailor Aphrodite as he went, and indicated to Neo-Moon and Zeus to move his other fallen comrades.
Glenki was left staring into the cold eyes of a dark stranger. "He's cocky... and quite interesting." His face never lost the self-assured sneer, even as the strong Princess of Jupiter walked up to him ironly. He looked down at her and his expression changed, ever so slightly. Glen couldn't be sure, but the new emotion that worked its way onto his face seemed almost... joyful.
"Ah, but we're being rude hosts! Allow me to make our grand introduction!" He made a sweeping bow, finally breaking the connection between Europa and himself. His odd partner bobbed up next to him, clapping her hands excitedly. "I am Proctor, a name you will surly remember the rest of your lives, which my mistress demands isn't much longer." His eyes twinkled with ill will and self-assurance, and from the depths of her being, Glenki wanted to punch him in the face for his arrogance.
Sensing that she was generally being ignored, the girl popped forward, blocking her cohort. "And I am the fabulous Abigail, the beauty that will drive you to your grave!" A bright, delusional smile decorated her lips, making her that much more comical. From behind Europa, Micheal snorted a suppressed laugh.
"You laugh at ME???" the one called Abigail darted toward Sailor Miranda viscously.
"Abi! Stop, it's time to give our guests The Gift."
The violet violent female froze mid-air. "OOOhhh.. Okay!" and with that, her carefree, demented demeanor returned as if it had never left. She zipped back to Proctor's side merrily, as he pulled out a large wand, with a large chrystal attached to the end, a few inches thick, powdery, and a sickly green. Before Glenki could speculate what kind of present this was, he threw his arm down and literally tore a hole in reality. He thrust his hand through the rip, and pulled from its void a tightly bond black-haired girl.
"Mariko!" Every one of the Moon Senshi cried, in one way or another, Mick out loud, the others mentally, ere Europa, who remained silent and stony. Miranda lurched forward, and his younger teammates moved in some way as well, but no sooner had they made an inch's progress, Glenki had put up her hand to still them.
"Stay where you are! We need to see what he wants!" She commanded mentally. She could feel Micheal's disapproval through Titan's telepathic link, but ignored it and focused herself completely on the matter at hand.
She spoke carefully to "Proctor," giving no emotion to her words, "Is it a real gift if it is something that has been stolen from the receiver?" She let the corners of her mouth curve up, to show her enemy that he hadn't shocked or frightened her.
The dark boy wrapped around Mariko, who was thankfully unconscious, seemed pleased by her calm reaction, and maliciously answered, "I never said it was a gift for you, my dear. I'm going to enjoy this greatly!" He suddenly pushed his hand into his hostage's chest.
"NO!" There was no restraining Micheal this time and he leapt nearly ten feet and slammed into Abigail, who hadn't been there before, but proved to be extremely fast when it suited her. Mariko slumped forward, as Proctor removed his hand, revealing a brightly glowing golden disk. He threw it across the courtyard, and like a boomerang it returned, but instead of being captured by the male enemy, it was plucked from the air by a feminine hand. Disbelief registered on our heroes' faces as they realized that not only had their friend broken free of her bindings, but she was now floating of her own volition. As she gripped the disk, a silver crescent moon phased in around the left side of it. Her eyes had a strange blankness to them, as she held her arm high above and cried, "Hades Transformation Spell!"
A more strange and confusing sight, Glenki could have never imagined. A dark silver cloud enveloped her best friend, and when she emerged she had obviously become a Sailor Senshi. Her fuku was a rather atypical and impressed design. She had very short cargo shorts, black with silver trim on, a silver satin short sleeved shirt covered her torso to three or four inches under her breasts, over that lay a black sailor collar with no stripes, and she had a black leather spiked dog collar around her neck, with matching spiky bracelets adorning both wrists. The black matte leather platform maryjanes on her feet completed the look, and intrigued Europa.
"If she really is a Senshi. I wonder what kind of soldier wears maryjanes??"
Proctor was practically bouncing with felicity at this point. "Sailor Hades, now that you've made your entrance, are you ready to go make sure none these pests are born?" His eyes glowed green, and when hers met his, they glowed as well.
"I will serve you, my Lord," she said in an empty voice.
"Mariko, NO!" Mick shouted and struggled to her.
She looked back at him with no recognition in her expression. "Do not attack me, little one." She pulled a sword from nothingness, and pointed it at him, "Hades Death Spell!"
Miranda fell to his knees and clawed his head. Strangled screams escaped his throat, and he curled up in a fetal position, twitching and crying. Glenki reached over to him, and from the corner of her eye saw Proctor open reality again and make his exit with Abigail and "Sailor Hades."
After a few minutes, Micheal could finally sit up again; his face was still pale and drawn though. The Moon Senshi had collected around him, and were looking relieved that he had recovered somewhat.
Europa turned to Titan, her grim face softened with the unbelievablity of all that had just happened. "Any idea where they went, Christa?"
"Yes, I believe they've gone back to the time when our parents were teenagers."
"Well, I think we'll just have to join them."
