Moon Cats

Chapter 18

"So, you're telling me you're the reincarnations of a bunch of prehistoric princesses from magical kingdoms."

"Um... Yeah. That about sums it up."

Sgt. Hibuki looked at Usagi, blinking. Then he shook his head. "If I hadn't seen what you all can do, I wouldn't..." The cop was interrupted by his pager going off. "Excuse me. Ms. Hino, may I use your phone?"

"Sure, follow me." Rei, with Sgt. Hibuki in tow, left the room. The Senshi all turned on Mamoru.

"You knew that Artemis and Luna could change, and didn't tell me?" Usagi demanded.

"Yes. They ended up in a jam and had to tell me to get them out. They didn't want me to tell you either." He shrugged. "Now, while I don't actually mind, why did we tell Hibuki about us?"

"Well, it all started..." Usagi quickly explained the fight with the golem and yakuza.

Luna looked over at Artemis. "Who was that girl? You seemed to know her and the man with the gun." She couldn't help it, but she was feeling a slight bit jealous. 'Luna, you don't have a right to be jealous after what you did. Calm down.' she thought to herself.

"Reika and Akuma Hagisaki. Long story short, Reika's the one who makes the Golems, but Akuma's the one who used them. She was with me, running from him, when that fight broke out. Oh, and they are both the children of the Local Oyabun, Akira Hagisaki."

Hibuki stumbled into the room, face ashen. Rei was following the police officer looking rather worried.

"Hibuki, what's wrong?" Mamoru asked, rising to help the older man. Hibuki waved the help off.

"Were you serious when you said you'd help the police?"

"Of course!" Usagi reassured him. "Why?"

Sgt. Hibuki stood as straight as he could. "The fifth precincts been seized by nine walking statues, and the JSDF are reluctant to move in on them, in spite of their being wounded inside."

"I want your help getting them out."

Sailor Pluto sat at the Time Gates, watching as the Senshi, and their cats, changed to their more 'Heroic' forms.

She had watched the entire conversation, knowing what was coming. "Should I help, or should I let them fight on their own?" She wondered out loud.

"They can handle this, Setsuna-Chan."

Turning, Setsuna rested her crimson eyes on her future self, stepping out of the mists. "This, yes. But what about what is coming? That future is unclear to me."

"You will know when to act." The future Pluto smiled. "We knew when I went through it, after all."

"Hey Sarge! What are we going to do?"

Sgt. Hibuki looked at the young rookie, slipping his car keys into his pocket. "Pray for a Miracle." He answered calmly.

Said Miracle was standing, not quite completed, on the roof across the street from the besieged police station. "Where are they?" Sailor Mars demanded, almost glowing with her frustration.

"Calm down, Mars. We're here." Sailor Uranus said, even as she, Neptune, and the young Sailor Saturn landed next to the Inner Senshi. "So what's the plan?"

"Simple." Artemis said, unconsciously having hidden in shadows, he startled the three newcomers when he stepped out of them. "We save the people, and destroy the Golems."

Uranus and Neptune jumped back, while Saturn looked at the cat-man in surprise.

"Who...and WHAT are you?" Uranus asked, ready to use her space sword.

"We are Artemis and Luna, Uranus." Luna said, also stepping out of the shadows.

"What?" All three Outers yelled.

"Would you girls please calm down? We will explain later."

Neptune examined the two Neko-jin. The white cat, apparently male, wore a brown leather jacket over a gray T-shirt and khaki cargo shorts. His feet were bare and clawed, and his legs were digigrade like that of a cat. He almost screamed 'Careless Adventurer' with the strangely human smile on his fanged face.

Turning to the black Cat-girl, the green haired Senshi looked her over as well. Her body was covered from neck to feet by a sleeveless black bodysuit. The Lycra like material molded perfectly to her statuesque body, a short skirt with slits up both thighs, the only break in her sleek lines. Her feet were sheathed in low-heeled boots, her legs being 'human'. Her clothes, like her fur, were all in black.

The Crescent Moons on both their foreheads is what convinced her. "How long have you two been able to do THIS?"

"Again, long story." Luna answered. "However we have more pressing concerns."

"No kidding." Sailor Moon muttered, walking to the Outers. "The most important thing is getting the inured out. Saturn and Mercury have the job of protecting them. The rest of us will destroy the Golems."

"That's a good plan!" Uranus said, mildly amazed. The princess had been showing more leadership ability lately, and the blonde was impressed.

"Thanks,. So do we go in the roof, the back, or the front door?"

Luna smiled. "All of the above. Hibuki said the survivors are mostly barricaded on the top floor so Mercury and Saturn can see to helping them, while the rest of us clear a path. We'll form two more teams, and all three meet at the top."

"Sounds good." Artemis looked over from the ledge, looking at the police building. "Everyone keep a look out for glowing runes somewhere on their bodies. They are magical and not everyone can see them, but I think all of us should be able to."

"I think I saw something on a statue's forehead, at the loading dock." Tuxedo Mask entered the conversation.

"Great! Aiming for the head works for me!" Uranus grinned. "Let's go!"

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The rookie gasped when the Sailor Senshi, specifically Moon and Venus, along with Tuxedo Mask and the two Neko-jin landed in front of the two statues guarding the door.

The big white Cat-man delivered a double claw strike to his opponent while Tuxedo Mask tossed a rose, which embedded in his targets forehead.

Both 'Chinese Warriors' Turned to dust in seconds, while the two men opened the doors for the ladies.

"What just happened?"

"A miracle! Behold the power of prayer." The older cop couldn't help but laugh at the rookie's expression.

"WORLD SHAKING!"

The Golem didn't even see the sphere of energy hit. It's head exploded into dust, followed a second later by it's body.

Neptune pushed open the door as Jupiter and Mars charged into the building. The two inners found another golem waiting.

The golem swung the pole arm it wielded, hitting Jupiter and slamming her into a wall. Sailor Mars replied with "Flame Sniper!" Right into the gold runes she saw on its forehead.

It fell back in pain several steps before the heat finally melted its head, destroying the monster.

Neptune ran to Jupiter, turning her over and checking her injury. The brown haired Senshi groaned. "What hit me?"

"Reality." Neptune replied. At Jupiter's questioning look, she gestured at the younger girl's stomach. Makoto gasped the body suit ripped and a thin shallow cut across her belly staining the materiel.

"They might not be tough, but they can be dangerous!"

_____________________________________________________________________________________

"These things are dangerous!" Sailor Venus, fingering a cut on her shoulder, yelled. She was on the retreat from a sword wielding golem.

"Yeah!" Moon replied. "SAILOR MOON KICK!" A stiletto heel found the golem's forehead, turning it to dust.

The group had made a beeline for the stairs once entering the station. They had gotten to the top floor only to walk into an ambush.

They'd been fighting for several minutes, but Sailor Moon was the first to defeat her playmate.

"HELP!" Luna wasn't doing half so well, the Golem she was fighting was ignoring all the claw damage she had inflicted on it, and had managed to sweep her legs. His spear was raised to finish the black Neko-jin off.

"Luna!" Sailor Moon yelled in panic. She ripped the Tiara from her head, the flare of power turning it instantly into a disk of destructive force. Without any of her usual fanfare Usagi threw her oldest attack.

Luna caught the head of her Golem as its body turned to dust. "Thank you Sailor Moon." She said, digging a claw into the runes, 'killing' the animated bust.

Artemis drew everyone's attention, including the golems, when he reared in pain, the sword his opponent wielded having cut deeply into his arm. In response the white haired hero delivered a savage closed first punch, literally pulverizing the plaster face, dusting the golem.

Mamoru, taking the instants distraction, unleashing a veritable botanical garden of roses into the monster he fought. While none hit it's forehead, the huge amount of damage and cracks, shattering the monster through the excessive force.

Last, but not least, Minako finally got her Venus Love-Me-Chain out. With a simple overhand swing. She drove the golden chain THROUGH the golem, bisecting it before it turned to dust.

Sailor Moon ran to the door. "Mercury, Saturn, Open up!" She yelled through the barricade.

A few short moments later the sound of heavy objects moving was heard, and the door opened for Mercury. "All clear?"

"Yeah. Let's vamoose and let the EMT's handle it from here." Artemis said.

Sailor Saturn came out looking tired. "Sounds good to...MOVE!"

The others dodged as the Glaive came slashing down in a cross-ward slash, a previously unseen golem split in two by the huge blade. "Can we go home now?" Saturn asked as it dusted.

"Sure, call the others and tell them to meet us."

Fred watched as his Mistresses friend jumped away from the police station. The tiny golem returned to following him, hoping the larger cat-man could help him. He needed to get help for his Mistress.
