THE EARTH ROYALTY, Chapter Three
Toni's shoulder length, light brown hair was curled up in a towel. Her body was wrapped in another towel as she searched for a change of clothes. She found a purple shirt and blue jeans, which she put on. As she did, she felt her cousin stir physically and not mentally. Then she felt it, the reason why he was stirring.
"What did you say to Amara and Michelle about fighting Anno?" He asked sleepily.
"I told them that he was our fight. They could do battle with him, but ultimately, he's ours. Right or wrong?" Toni questioned.
"Ummm . not sure, for now let's let them fight, see how well they do. Let's try not to announce our presence to him straight away, see what he's up to here and then make a plan."
"Got ya. I'll tell them that they can fight this and tell them where to go." He nodded his approval. Despite their closeness, he was still her leader and she would follow his orders to her death. Right now her eyes were closed as she looked for the presence of either of the two she had met today.
-/Hey Amara!/-
-/Huh? What the?/-
-/Relax, it's me Toni./-
-/Oh, er , hi, what's the deal?/-
-/Anno, he's about to attack the park./-
-/Oh right. Why are you telling me? I thought you wanted to handle this on our own./-
-/We do, but we don't want to alert him of our presence. And we need to see how he's doing this so we can counter it. And, of course, we want to see how you all do in a fight./-
-/Oh ok, but just so you know, Amy's already found it, we're already on our way there./-
-/Don't get arrogant, he's strong and he'll attack in person./-
-/Ok, thanks for the warning. How's Darien doing?/-
-/I'm fine Amara./- Darien's amused voice cut through the connection.
-/Oh hi . will you two not do this to me?/-
-/Ok!/-
-/Bye-z-bye!/-
"Darien that was cruel, you shouldn't listen to girls thoughts!" Toni teased.
"I know, but I just love doing it!" He grinned at her. "C'mon, let's go see the fight!"
"Yeah, wow, we can have front row seats! Go scouts!" She made a cheerleading wave and then smiled. He smiled back and then was bathed in a golden light. The same happened to Toni.
When the light faded, Prince Endymion stood in the place on Darien. Armour, dark cloak, sword at his hip and a said, "Prince Endymion is ready for battle!"
"How un-interesting!" In place of Toni's jeans and red shirt, she wore a dark golden top and black trousers with a dark blue cloak around her. A sword also hung at her hip. Her top had long sleeves that had been cut up into thin strips of material that gently flew around in the breeze "And the great Princess Antonia is here. Defending Julie's territory." She added as an after thought.
"Well Jule's isn't around at present so you'll have to do."
"Oh I forgot, Michelle reminded me to see if she was around, seeing as though Japan's been under attack for a while now and it turns out, she's in China."
"Cool, I'll go see her later and get her here."
"Hey, Ends, will you be alright?"
"Huh? What d'you mean Nia?" He spun around to face.
"I mean about seeing Serena?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to handle it, and if I need to, I can become Tux and save her."
"My Hero!" Nia said sarcastically.
"Er . no Nia, I'm Serena's, or was. C'mon, let's quit yakking and get there!" She nodded and closed her eyes. Endymion did the same and the two vanished and instantly reappeared in the park, concealed in a tree.

Out of nowhere, a figure appeared. He was dressed like a Prince, with a Blood Red cloak, covering his red clothing. He smiled when he saw nine females clothed in what looked like skimpy sailor outfits. ~How nice!~ He then noticed three more females. All of whom wore tight leather bras and pants, at least that's how he saw it.
In a tree someone was cursing him mentally for looking at the leader of the scouts, while another frowned.
In front of the man, the females in leather were arguing with some of the ones in the sailor outfits.
"Hey, come one, let's not fight." He heard the one with wings say.
"But we need to fight this creep!" Another argued against her, this one wearing a green skirt and pink bows.
"Ok, well I meant not fight between us." The winged girl said.
"Is this a private slinging match or can anyone join in?" The 'creep' asked politely.
"Don't mock us." A cold voice came form the one in a dark blue skirt with yellow bows. He just laughed.
"I believe that you will be easier than the two I encountered in America."
"I don't care who you encountered in America, this is Japan, and I'm Sailor Moon and I protect this city! In the name of the moon, you're dusted!" The winged one yelled.
"In the name of-"
"Hey, listen, I don't give a damn what you're doing this in the name of," he stopped and teleported right in front of Sailor Moon, "but I know that you'll make an excellent bride for me." He reached out and lifted her off the ground.
No one could do anything without hurting Sailor Moon. All were yelling threats but he laughed them off.
-/Darien do something!/- He heard Sailor Uranus yell in his head.
-/I am about to!/- He replied.
-/Endy, if you do then he'll now we're here!/- Nia's voice entered the conversation.
-/But if you do nothing, then Serena'll be his!/- One more voice joined in, namely Sailor Neptune's.
-/Don't worry; Tuxedo Mask is going to make an appearance. Uranus, Neptune, be prepared to attack as soon as I have Serena in my arms. Nia, relax and stay here./-
Prince Endymion formed a rose in his hand and transformed to Tuxedo Mask. "Don't worry Nia, I'll be fine and he doesn't know that I'm the same person." He gave her a quick hug and jumped to another tree were he could easily reach the Moon Princess.
All of those below the man known as Anno and Sailor Moon were worried. Even the two that were in on the plan.
Before anyone new what had occurred, a red rose had hit Anno's hand and he had let go of Sailor Moon. Ten faces creased in confusion, while one didn't see the rose, two attacked while one watched and another caught.
"URANUS WORLD SHAKING" "NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE"
Sailor Moon found herself encased in strong arms that felt familiar. She mumbled her "thanks" before looking at her saviour. And she didn't she turned to those that followed her and those that didn't. She readied her Power Tier and informed the others of what she was about to do.
"MERCURY AGUA MIRAGE" "MARS FLAME SNIPER" "JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION" "VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK" "SATURN SILENCE GLAIVE SURPRISE" "PLUTO DEADLY SCREAM" "URANUS SPACE SWORD BUSTER" "NEPTUNE SUBMARINE REFLECTION" "STAR GENTLE UTERUS" "STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO" "STAR SERIOUS LASER" "MOON SILVER CRYSTAL POWER KISS"
The attacks hit him, and all but two present thought that he had been destroyed as the haze of dust surrounded him. They cheered and clapped for destroying him.
Sailor Star Fighter said, "Well we sure showed him that we aren't as weak as those in America."
To which Sailor Uranus retorted, "There's more of us here."
Sailor Moon still hadn't turned to her saviour. Sailor Venus was the first to notice her after Uranus and Neptune did. He was quietly walking away until a loud voice called after him, "Oh My God! Tuxedo Mask!" All turned to look at him, "You're back!" He was stunned as she came racing towards him with Sailors Mars, Mercury and Jupiter in tow. And he found himself suffocating in their hug.
He could hear the mental laughter of Princess Antonia ringing in his head, while he saw Sailor Moon's saddened face, confused and puzzled glances from Sailors Saturn and Pluto and the Sailor StarLights. While the highly amused looks came from Sailor Uranus and Neptune.
"Hey girls, how've you all been?" He asked politely. And he was answered with a chorus of "ok"s and "great"s.
A fight that was breaking out between the outer scouts and the StarLights interrupted more talk from occurring.
-/Serena didn't look too happy to see me/- He remarked to the girl in the tree.
-/And what did you expect? She thinks that you have another girlfriend and that you don't care about her./-
-/But that's not true!/-
-/It doesn't matter to her. Anyway, you being back pretty much complicates things between her and her new boyfriend./-
-/Well I'm sorry to be a complication!/-
-/Hey, don't get moody with me! Let's get out of her and then decide what to do./-
-/What is there to decide?/-
-/Oh, right, I forgot, Anno's decided he likes the girl you love so he's going down!/-
-/When you put it like that, you're right, but yes, we need to make a plan./-
-/I know, but do we include the Sailors in this business?/-
-/I'll think about it./-
Trusting the fact that all were too busy to notice his disappearance for the moment, Tuxedo Mask quietly departed and joined his cousin in his apartment.
Toni's shoulder length, light brown hair was curled up in a towel. Her body was wrapped in another towel as she searched for a change of clothes. She found a purple shirt and blue jeans, which she put on. As she did, she felt her cousin stir physically and not mentally. Then she felt it, the reason why he was stirring.
