Disclaimer: Whatever.
Chapter 23: Fire Goddess Part 2
Rachel and Laura ran from the castle.
"Hey, Rachel," Laura called to her. "What did you see?"
Rachel glanced at her, "I'm not too sure, but I didn't like it."
Laura looked around her. "Hey, we'll cover more ground if we split up."
"Excellent idea, if you find her, call me on the communicator."
"Right!"
Rachel watched as Laura ran off in an opposite direction. She remembered the vision that she had. 'I hope I'm wrong, but in my vision, I think I saw Robert attack the princess, but its probably just my imagination. God, I hope so.'
Rachel ran to the entrance of the rose garden.
********************************************************************************
Mercury and Venus sat in their small cell.
"So, Robert is actually the one who is behind all of these attacks on our city?" Venus asked.
"Yes, but he calls himself 'Bob.'" Mercury said.
Venus hugged her knees, "And we let him get so close to the princess, what kind of guardians are we?"
"The only thing we can do now is pray Rachel and Laura figure him out before he hurts Rose."
'Guys,' Venus prayed. 'please see through that traitor. Please before its too late.'
********************************************************************************
Rose sat crying in Robert's arms. "Don't worry," Robert said soothingly. "I will make sure you see your friends again." His eyes grew darker and an evil grin came on his face.
Rose pulled away from him, and in an instant, he was back to his usual smile and gentle eyes.
"You sure?" Rose asked him wiping away her tears.
"Almost positive."
Behind him Rachel ran up to them. 'Thank god she's okay. That vision must have been my imagination.'
"Hey, Rose, Robert!" She called to them.
Robert turned to see Rachel run up to them and slowly catch her breath. 'Darn, I was soo close.' He thought bitterly.
Robert smiled at Rachel. "I'm glad you came, I really need to get home before my folks worry, and I didn't want to leave Rose alone."
Rose looked at him. "You're leaving?"
Robert faced her "I have to, but you'll be alright," he stood up and started running towards the rose garden entrance. "See you guys later!"
Rachel looked at his retreating form. 'I don't know why, but somehow, I don't trust him.'
Rachel sat beside Rose where Robert was sitting.
"So, you and him have gotten closer." Rachel said trying to make conversation.
"Yeah, I guess so." Rose said saddly.
"Tell me, what has you so sad?" Rachel said.
Rose looked down, "Its just that, I don't think I was meant to do this."
Rachel looked confused. "Do what?"
"You know, be a sailor scout."
Rachel looked shocked. "Why do you say that?!"
"Because I couldn't save them." Rose's eyes watered up. "Amanda, Marron, I let them both down. Its all my fault!"
Rachel put her hand on Rose's shoulders. "Its not your fault. I promise, we'll set things right again."
Rose's eyes widened. She looked at Rachel, "You promise?"
"Promise."
********************************************************************************
Robert arrived back at his headquarters. "DARN IT!!" He punched the nearest wall. "I WAS SO CLOSE!!"
He growled in frustration. "Come here Fireti."
A flame-like monster came in front of Bob. "Yes, Lord Bob."
"Go attack crystal palace."
The monster bowed "Yes, Lord Bob."
********************************************************************************
Rose and Rachel sat on the bench in the royal rose garden.
"We should wait for Laura before we go back to the castle." Rachel said. "I called her as soon as I saw you. I wonder what's taking her so long."
Rose sat silently.
Rachel snapped her head up suddenly. "I feel an evil presence." She said urgently.
Rose felt her saddness disappear, replaced by anger.
"Lets transform and find this creep!" Rose said standing.
Rachel nodded. "Right behind you!"
"Mars Neo Power!"
"Saturn Prism Power!"
"Transform!"
With that, Saturn and Mars ran off to the origin of the evil presence.
********************************************************************************
At the front gate, Fireti stood prepared to attack. Palace guards stood ready to face this new threat.
"Foolish mortals." Fireti said, he stood his full height of 5 and a half feet, his skin was a firery red tint, and as he walked, the grass he stepped on became scorched.
"Stand fast, men!" A palace guard said drawing his sword.
Fireti smiled. Flames shot up from his skin, and engulfed the palace guards. They screamed in agony as their energy was sapped by the heat and collapsed on the ground as the flames died down.
"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!!"
Fireti turned and saw to figures in shadow. "Yeah, who's that? Show your face if you dare!"
"Guarded by Mars, planet of war, I am the sailor scout of flame. How dare you use its warmth to inflect pain and suffering? I will show you how hot it can be! I am Sailor Mars, and I will melt your heart!"
"You have some nerve, you come and terrorize the innocent, attack those who do their jobs without fear, and taunt the one who will cause your dismise. I am Sailor Saturn, Sailor Scout of death and reserection, and I say in the name of saturn, I will send you screaming to the world of the dead!"
The two girls leaped out of the shadows and faced the monster, with Mars in the front of Saturn, who kneeled down to check on the fallen palace guards. "Their fine, it looks like they have some major burns and they are totally drained of energy, but they are still breathing.
Mars looked over her shoulder, and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Fireti, who looked pleased with himself. "You better be thankful they are still alive, 'cause if they weren't there would be no end to my wrath."
"You're the one who should be worried!" Fireti retorted.
"You have no idea, do you?!" Mars said, enraged. She held her hands out in front of her. "Take this!"
"Mars Ember Shot!" A ball of flame shot to Fireti, it hit its mark, engulfing him.
"Hahaha is that the best you've got?!" Fireti said, brushing himself off.
"Impossible, how could my attack not effect him?" Mars said awestruck.
"Because you're too weak!" Fireti said as flames danced across his skin, "I will show you the true power of fire!" A huge collumn of fire came straight at the girls.
Mars stood in front of Saturn, who was still kneeling beside the fallen palace guards. "MARS!!" Saturn sheilded her eyes as she saw her friend get hit by the blast.
"Like I said, weak." Fireti said as he saw the faint outline of Mars. But, as he watched, he became confused, 'why isn't she on the ground, yet?' He stared at the girl. She was still engulfed in flames. "She's...not...burning!" Fireti exclaimed.
Mars' eyes snapped open. "You got that right pal." The flames finally died, revealing a very mad Mars.
"What are you?" Fireti said, terrified.
"You think that you can defeat the warrior of flame with a small candle like that? I'll show you what a real attack is!"
"MARS FIRE WALL!!"
A huge wall of flame hit Fireti and he screamed in pain.
Mars turned to Saturn. "Do it leader-girl!"
Saturn nodded, standing, she steped a good distance away from the fallen guards and placed her hand on her taira.
"Saturn Rings Blast!"
Fireti got out of the wall of fire just in time to see Saturn's attack slice him in two. He collapsed to the ground, a pile of dust.
"Got him!" Saturn sat on the ground, "but, we didn't find any information on the others." Her eyes began to tear.
Mars looked at the palace guards, who had just started to stir. Suddenly she sensed another evil and turned to tell her friend, when, she saw what was about to happen.
Saturn, sitting on the ground, and under her a dark circle formed.
"Saturn! Move!"
Mars dived and pushed her out of the way just as a huge hand blasted out of the ground. It grabbed Mars around her waiste and held her high above the ground.
"MARS!!"
"Stay back, princess, I mean it!"
Mars screamed as the hand pulled her down into a black portal that had formed on the ground.
"NO, MARS!!"
Saturn jumped to her feet and ran to the portal, only to be tackled from behind. Looking at the person on her back she gasped.
"Jupiter, get off of me, I have to save Mars!"
"I can't lose you, princess, that's why I'm doing this!"
Horrified, Saturn watched as the portal closed.
"SAILOR MARS!!!"
********************************************************************************
Mars hit the floor hard, groaning, she saw Mercury and Venus looking at her fearfully.
"Mars, are you alright?" Mercury asked.
"Yes, I'm fine, but what about you two?"
"We're okay, but you will never guess who's behind this." Venus said saddly.
Mars thought back to her premoniton. 'Oh, no.' She looked at them horrorfied. "Robert?!"
They nodded silently.
