Chapter 5: Good-Bye Ronin Warriors
Venus's knuckles turned white as she still held her hands into a fist. Anger swam into her at how he busted her perfect date with the most gorgeous guy in the world.
Malice still held his evil grin as he peered down at the Sailor Scouts and the Ronin Warriors.
"Today my hunt ends. You all will die in the palm of my hands" he said wickedly as he crushed his palm together to show how he would squash them.
"We'll see about that" Jupiter spat as she and the others also had their hands in a fist form.
Mars was the first to attack. She jumped into the air as she cried "Mars Firestorm Flash!"
Her attack missed as he disappeared away from the blow and sent a swirling black spiral attack at her, ramming into her side.
"Ah!" she screamed as she landed on her knees, holding her gash.
"Mars, you ok?" Ryo asked as he ran to her side.
He could see the cut was pretty deep and knew she would lose blood quickly if they didn't do something quick. Mercury ran just in time to Mars's other side as she checked the wound.
"She'll lose blood if we don't cover it" she said to the others.
"Here, take this!" Sailor Moon spoke as she took out her pink hanky from out of nowhere.
Mercury didn't stop to ask were she kept the hanky since they didn't have pockets but quickly went to minister Mars's wound.
Jupiter was the next to fire up.
"You'll pay for that you bastard!" she cried as she called "Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!"
The thunder disk missed its target as Malice's smile widened and sent a great force at her, aiming her to the hard cement sidewalk.
She grimaced in pain as Sage went to her.
"Makoto, you ok? Speak to me!" he shook her frantically.
Malice turned to Sailor Moon, Kento and Sai as he sent a wind of fire at them.
"AH!" the screamed as they felt the burn touch their skin.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Mercury called out her attack as it splashed threw her injured friends. They were very weak as they lay unconscious on the floor like Jupiter.
Mercury was the next to fall. Malice sent sharp daggers at her from his hand as the blue scout tried to jump out of the way. But she soon messed up as one of the daggers sliced through her leg.
"Ow, my leg" she cried in pain as she fell.
"Mercury!" Venus went to help her injured blue scout friend.
Blood was dripping down the deep cut as Rowen came to help Venus.
"Rowen, give me your bandanna" Venus ordered as he swiftly obeyed and handed it to her.
Venus soon covered the cut with the royal blue bandanna; but it soon turned red as the blood still flowed.
Venus looked around her surroundings. Almost all of her friends were badly injured as they lay on the floor out cold. Rowen, Sage and Ryo were the only ones standing besides her.
She saw Jupiter and Sage, who was still trying to wake her up. Ryo was by Mars's side as she was almost crying in pain. Sai, Kento and Sailor Moon were on unconscious on the floor as their skins were terribly burnt by Malice's attack. And last but not least, Venus looked down at Mercury, who she held in her arms.
Her blood was boiling now as she looked at her fallen friends. She handed Mercury to Rowen as she stood up and looked up at Malice.
"Alright that's it. Enough games" Venus said as he disappeared and then appeared on the ground.
"Hum. let me see, one, two, three, four, four more bugs to crush" the red head said as he counted each remaining survivors.
Venus kept her enraged face as her fist tightened. She started to walk slowly to him as she tried to control herself from springing at him.
She had noticed that Jupiter and Mars had made a bad move as they just dived at him. It made it an easier target for their enemy.
"What's this? I have a volunteer to die first out of the four. So princess, how would you like to die? Fast or slow?" Malice ridiculed as he smiled at the scout.
He was amused at how brave she was acting but he wasn't surprised. He had read many things about these scouts in his life and knew that nothing could stop them when they were enraged. And this blond scout was deeply enraged.
'This should be fun' he thought to himself as he started to form shadow demons in his hand.
The shadows soon formed into beast dogs as they growled at Venus and the others. Rowen rested Mercury down as he went to help Venus. Ryo and Sage went to join the two.
"We'll take care of these guys. You go take down Malice" Sage told the orange scout as he held his long sword firmly.
"My pleasure" Venus agreed in garnishing teeth as she soon charged at the evil boy.
As soon as Venus charged at Malice, the shadow dogs attacked the Ronin Warriors.
"Flare Up Now!" Ryo cried as his fire attack missed one of the demons.
"They're fast" Sage gasped.
"Yeah, but not fast enough!" Rowen yelled as he cried "Arrow Shockwave!"
His attack was able to destroy one. Rowen looked at his two dumfounded friends as a victorious smile spread across his face.
"See what I mean" he said with a wide grin.
The two Ronin Warriors returned his smile as they both said "Let's do it then"
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"Venus Meteor Shower!" Venus cried as Malice's surrounding was covered with her Venus's stars.
But he didn't get badly wounded as he disappeared just in time away from it.
"You'll have to do better then that blonde" he mocked as she sprang at him with her "Venus Love Chain Encircle"
The gold chain took hold of her enemy's body as he was shocked from getting caught.
"Now you're going to pay for hurting my friends and for ruining my date!" the Venus princess yelled as she called out "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
Her attack didn't do much damage as Malice was still standing.
"Pathetic" he held a wide smirk.
He soon broke free from her love chain as he formed a black sword on his hand. He swung the sword at her as she tried to dodge his moves.
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
While Malice was swinging his sword at the scout, Venus had noticed an opening to strike him. The beam went straight to his side as he collapsed.
"Why you" he groaned as he held the wound.
Venus held her hands in front of him, ready to use her crescent beam attack again. She was too busy to notice her friends' eyes stirring as their hands started to move.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
'Minako' Sailor Moon thought in her mind as she tried her best to wake up.
She felt pain overwhelm her as her skin felt the burn from Malice's fire attack. With a snap Sailor Moon's eyes opened wide as Mercury, Jupiter and Mars join her.
"What's going on?" Jupiter faltered as she boosted herself to sit up slowly.
She and the other four Sailor Scouts turned to see Rowen, Ryo and Sage fighting Malice's demons as Venus was keeping an eye on the fallen red head.
"You shall now die!" Malice screamed crazily as he sent an ice attack at Venus.
"Ah!" Venus cried as she was frozen to the ground
'Oh no' she thought as she tried to get her feet free from the ice that was gluing her.
"See you later Sailor Sweetheart" Malice said impiously as he held his palm near her face.
Rowen turned to Venus when he saw her losing.
"Venus!" he yelled as the other two Ronin Warriors went to aid her.
But they were stopped as Malice's shadow dogs tackled them.
Venus could see the energy forming in Malice's palm. It was faint yellow glow but it soon grew brighter as it was about to kill her.
As she squint her eyes, ready for the blow, she heard "Mercury Aqua Magic!"
Venus darted her eyes towards her fallen friends, who were now either on their knees or standing. Depending on their condition.
"Leave her alone if you know what's best for you!" Jupiter shouted as she yelled "Jupiter Oak Revolution!"
Malice fell back from the attack as Mars used her "Mars Celestial Fire Surround" to free Venus from her ice grasp.
"Alright Malice, I don't care what your reason here is for but you're going down. Cause in the name of the moon, I will punish you!" Sailor Moon said as she tried to stand up.
"And in the name of Mercury!" Mercury cried as she stayed on the ground cause of her injured leg.
"And Mars!" Mars added as she stayed on her knees.
"And for Jupiter also!" Jupiter cried as she was up on her feet and ready to use another attack.
"Jupiter Supreme Thunder Crash!"
"AAAHHHH!!!" Malice screamed as he was too weak to dodge the thunder attack.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
"Mars Fire Ignite!"
Both attacks hit the feeble enemy as he struggled to get up.
"And to finish it off Sailor Moon, use your Honeymoon Therapy Kiss" Mercury recommended as she saw he was weak in her visor.
"I'm on it" Sailor Moon said as she took out her wand.
"Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!" the moon princess cried as she did her spinning and turning and all the other moves she had to, to call out her attack.
"NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Malice let out a horrible scream as he soon turned to black dust.
Pretty soon his demons fallowed him as they turned to dust right on the three Ronin Warriors.
"We did it!" Sailor Moon shrieked as she jumped up and down holding Venus's hand with joy.
"You guys ok?" Jupiter asked when she went to help the three still vigorous Ronin Warriors.
She helped Sage to his feet as he nodded.
"We got to bring the others to the hospital. Quickly!" Mercury said, ended their rejoicing.
They turned to face their wounded friends. Mars was still on her knees holding her cut. Kento and Sai were still unconscious as Mercury had her leg problem.
"But what are we going to tell the doctors. Surly they'll wonder how we got these wounds" Mars pointed out.
"Wait, we can go to my house. I'm sure I'll have some medical stuff there." Mercury suggested as Venus went to help Mars to her feet.
"Let's go then. Beside I'm sure Luna and Artemis can help too" the blond scout informed as she headed towards the park's exit.
Sage and Ryo helped Kento as Sai was helped by Rowen.
Jupiter held Mercury on her back as Sailor Moon and the others fallowed Venus.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
It had been two days since the Sailor Scouts and the Ronin Warriors' battled Malice. Each one was able to get healed as Ami used her ability with medication.
They were now up and about doing normal stuff like normal teenagers would do.
Minako and her girl friends were at the arcade waiting for the Ronin Warriors. School had ended already and Raye was able to meet them when her school was finished.
Rowen had told Minako that he and the other guys had to check something after school and that they would meet later in the Crown Arcade.
"I wonder what's taking them so long" Makoto spoke as she stirred her drink with her straw.
It had been an hour since they have been missing and Minako was starting to wonder.
"Don't worry, they'll be here" Ami assured as she returned to her book.
Usagi and Raye went to play a car racing game since the Sailor V game was being hogged by a ten year old.
"Mwoahahahah!!!" Usagi laughed scarily as she passed Raye.
"Oh I don't think so!" Raye screamed as she jammed her feet on the peddle.
Her racecar soon passed Usagi's as it went through the finish line.
"HA! I win. Now you owe me a drink Usagi" Raye said holding out her hands as if Usagi would put in on her palm.
Usagi just stuck her tong out at the raven girl as she stormed back to the other scouts. Raye just smirked as she fallowed.
"Hey guys. So who won?" Makoto asked as she moved over for Usagi to sit down.
"I did" Raye said triumphantly as Usagi made a face at her.
"You used your physic magic Raye! You cheated!" Usagi said, pointing an accusing finger at her.
"Now, now. You don't have to be a sore loser Usagi. Anybody can beat you" Raye taunted as Usagi was getting fired up.
"Oh yeah you--!!!"
She was cut off as the Crown Arcade doors automatically opened, letting in five very handsome boys.
"Kento!" Usagi screeched as she went to him and lunged at the purple haired boy.
"Hey Usagi" Kento said lifelessly trying to force a smile.
But Usagi could see the depression in his eyes. All the Sailor Scouts could see it in their Ronin Warriors eyes too.
"What's the matter?" Minako asked Rowen as he plopped down on the booth besides her.
"We went to talk to your queen" he began.
The entire Sailor Scout's mouth dropped.
"What?!!" they all said in unison.
"We received word that your dead queen wanted to see us for something. She congratulated us for saving your skins but she told us bad news." Ryo said bleakly as he leaned on the wall.
"And-what would this bad news be?" Ami asked raising an eyebrow.
Sage let out a deep sigh as he dimly said "We're leaving."
"What?!!!" the girls said in accord again.
"You heard him. We're going back to our dimension." Kento said.
"No. But why?" Usagi asked almost in tears.
"Queen Serenity said that there was trouble brewing in our time and that our people needed us again. We can't just abandon them just to stay here. Beside this isn't our home" Sai told the group as he could see glumness in the girl's eyes.
"When are you leaving?" Raye asked turning to Ryo.
Ryo gulped as he let out a, "Today."
The girls gasped with shock as the boys hung their head lows with distress.
"We're leaving on the top of Tokyo Tower at sunset. You're queen will transport us back to our dimension. I do hope you'll be there to say goodbye Minako" Rowen said turning to the cheerless goddess of love.
"Of course I'll be there. You can count on it" she said as she stood up to face him.
"We'll all be there" Makoto added as the rest of the scouts stood up to confirm it.
"Ok but we got to go now. We'll see you on the top of Tokyo Tower later k." Sage got out of his seat.
He and the rest of the Ronin Warriors left the staggered girls in misery as they went to pack.
"Who would have thought that this would be the last day we get to see them again" Usagi said now in tears as she cried on Ami's shoulder.
"Stay strong guys. Everything happens for a reason" Ami secured as Minako watched the boys from the window.
'Does this mean I was never destined for you Rowen?' she thought bitterly as she bit her lower lip.
She wanted to cry like Usagi but couldn't bare the embarrassment from her other friends. Beside, she was the leader of the Inner Scouts and she especially couldn't show any sign of weakness.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
The sun was setting as the cool breeze swept threw the ten beings on the tower. The Sailor Scouts and the Ronin Warriors were all together to say good bye to their new friends.
"Well, I guess this is it" Minako said to the boys as the others bowed their heads with discontent.
"Yeah I guess" Kento said as he stepped up to Usagi.
"Well, see ya Usagi" he said forcing a happy smile to lighten up the gloomy girl.
"Yeah, bye Kento" the pigtailed also tried to force a smile.
Usagi then lunged at him, giving Kento a warm hug. Kento returned the hug as he said, "Hey, think of it like this. At least you'll have food all to yourself from now on and also the Sailor V game."
Usagi just nodded as a tear started to roll down her cheeks.
After they soon parted he went to stand in a certain spot Ryo told him to stand. A bright glow soon appeared as it formed a hug circle around the Ronin.
Rowen motioned Minako to fallow him away from the group as they headed behind the rooftop entrance. The group's eyes fallowed the two as they walked away. But was soon interrupted by the raven haired Ryo.
He went up to the red scout as he held out a hand.
"I know we haven't really gotten along but I have to admit. You're pretty nice at times" he said.
Raye smiled at him as she shook his hand firmly.
"Same here. I'll miss you Ryo of wildfire." She said as Ryo smiled back.
He went to join Kento in the glowing circle.
Sai went up to Ami as Sage went up to Makoto.
"It was nice knowing you Ami" Sai said as he took her hand and placed a light kiss on it.
She blushed as she meekly said "Good Bye Sai."
Unexpectedly, Sage planted a kiss on Makoto's cheeks, making the girl's eyes widen. She was completely shock and hadn't expected it.
"See ya" he said as he gave her a charming smile and ran off to the circle with Sai.
Makoto blushed as Usagi and Raye went to their teasing fit.
While all this was happening Minako and Rowen were saying there goodbyes as well. Rowen looked at Minako as she reflected sorrow in her face.
"Minako, remember when we were on that date?" he asked moving closer to her.
The blond looked up at him as she nodded.
"We were about to do something when we were interrupted." He noted as Minako understood.
"You have no idea how much I cursed when it happened" she said lightly laughing.
"Well, we're alone now" he pointed out as his face was a couple of inches away from hers.
Minako could feel his hot breath on her face as she closed her eyes. She felt him cup her chin with his hand as his lips met hers. Both of them blushed instantly as they kissed for a while.
When they parted they heard Kento calling, "Yo Row! Come on pal, we have to go."
Minako pecked him another small kiss as they then returned to their waiting friends.
"Gee, you guys sure took a long time" Kento gave them a mischievous look.
"Yes, I do wonder what where you doing?" Raye teased as a blush spread on both of the couple's faces.
"Knock it off Kento!" Rowen said in garnishing teeth as he still held his blushing expression.
"Come on Rowen. Get in the circle" Ryo told the blue haired boy as he nodded and ran into the ring.
"Bye Minako. Maybe we will see each other someday" he said; giving her a wink and one last dashing smile as Minako smiled and waved at him.
The Ronin Warriors soon disappeared, away from the Sailor Scouts, and Tokyo's sight forever as the wind blew one last time for them.
Minako heard Makoto sigh deeply as Usagi said "There goes our men."
"I know right? What hunks." Makoto commented as Raye and Ami headed to the roof entrance.
Minako stayed on her ground as she just stared at the spot where Rowen had once stood. Ami saw Minako and called her but Minako said that she would catch up with them later.
When the four scouts left; Minako looked up into the setting sun.
"Bye Rowen. Maybe we will meet again someday" she said softly as her black skirt gestured in the breeze.
'Who knows, maybe I was destined to fall in love with him' she thought as a smile crossed her face.
She then left the empty roof to catch up to her friends.

Chapter 5: Good-Bye Ronin Warriors
Venus's knuckles turned white as she still held her hands into a fist. Anger swam into her at how he busted her perfect date with the most gorgeous guy in the world.
Malice still held his evil grin as he peered down at the Sailor Scouts and the Ronin Warriors.
"Today my hunt ends. You all will die in the palm of my hands" he said wickedly as he crushed his palm together to show how he would squash them.
"We'll see about that" Jupiter spat as she and the others also had their hands in a fist form.
Mars was the first to attack. She jumped into the air as she cried "Mars Firestorm Flash!"
Her attack missed as he disappeared away from the blow and sent a swirling black spiral attack at her, ramming into her side.
"Ah!" she screamed as she landed on her knees, holding her gash.
"Mars, you ok?" Ryo asked as he ran to her side.
He could see the cut was pretty deep and knew she would lose blood quickly if they didn't do something quick. Mercury ran just in time to Mars's other side as she checked the wound.
"She'll lose blood if we don't cover it" she said to the others.
"Here, take this!" Sailor Moon spoke as she took out her pink hanky from out of nowhere.
Mercury didn't stop to ask were she kept the hanky since they didn't have pockets but quickly went to minister Mars's wound.
Jupiter was the next to fire up.
"You'll pay for that you bastard!" she cried as she called "Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!"
The thunder disk missed its target as Malice's smile widened and sent a great force at her, aiming her to the hard cement sidewalk.
She grimaced in pain as Sage went to her.
"Makoto, you ok? Speak to me!" he shook her frantically.
Malice turned to Sailor Moon, Kento and Sai as he sent a wind of fire at them.
"AH!" the screamed as they felt the burn touch their skin.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Mercury called out her attack as it splashed threw her injured friends. They were very weak as they lay unconscious on the floor like Jupiter.
Mercury was the next to fall. Malice sent sharp daggers at her from his hand as the blue scout tried to jump out of the way. But she soon messed up as one of the daggers sliced through her leg.
"Ow, my leg" she cried in pain as she fell.
"Mercury!" Venus went to help her injured blue scout friend.
Blood was dripping down the deep cut as Rowen came to help Venus.
"Rowen, give me your bandanna" Venus ordered as he swiftly obeyed and handed it to her.
Venus soon covered the cut with the royal blue bandanna; but it soon turned red as the blood still flowed.
Venus looked around her surroundings. Almost all of her friends were badly injured as they lay on the floor out cold. Rowen, Sage and Ryo were the only ones standing besides her.
She saw Jupiter and Sage, who was still trying to wake her up. Ryo was by Mars's side as she was almost crying in pain. Sai, Kento and Sailor Moon were on unconscious on the floor as their skins were terribly burnt by Malice's attack. And last but not least, Venus looked down at Mercury, who she held in her arms.
Her blood was boiling now as she looked at her fallen friends. She handed Mercury to Rowen as she stood up and looked up at Malice.
"Alright that's it. Enough games" Venus said as he disappeared and then appeared on the ground.
"Hum. let me see, one, two, three, four, four more bugs to crush" the red head said as he counted each remaining survivors.
Venus kept her enraged face as her fist tightened. She started to walk slowly to him as she tried to control herself from springing at him.
She had noticed that Jupiter and Mars had made a bad move as they just dived at him. It made it an easier target for their enemy.
"What's this? I have a volunteer to die first out of the four. So princess, how would you like to die? Fast or slow?" Malice ridiculed as he smiled at the scout.
He was amused at how brave she was acting but he wasn't surprised. He had read many things about these scouts in his life and knew that nothing could stop them when they were enraged. And this blond scout was deeply enraged.
'This should be fun' he thought to himself as he started to form shadow demons in his hand.
The shadows soon formed into beast dogs as they growled at Venus and the others. Rowen rested Mercury down as he went to help Venus. Ryo and Sage went to join the two.
"We'll take care of these guys. You go take down Malice" Sage told the orange scout as he held his long sword firmly.
"My pleasure" Venus agreed in garnishing teeth as she soon charged at the evil boy.
As soon as Venus charged at Malice, the shadow dogs attacked the Ronin Warriors.
"Flare Up Now!" Ryo cried as his fire attack missed one of the demons.
"They're fast" Sage gasped.
"Yeah, but not fast enough!" Rowen yelled as he cried "Arrow Shockwave!"
His attack was able to destroy one. Rowen looked at his two dumfounded friends as a victorious smile spread across his face.
"See what I mean" he said with a wide grin.
The two Ronin Warriors returned his smile as they both said "Let's do it then"
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"Venus Meteor Shower!" Venus cried as Malice's surrounding was covered with her Venus's stars.
But he didn't get badly wounded as he disappeared just in time away from it.
"You'll have to do better then that blonde" he mocked as she sprang at him with her "Venus Love Chain Encircle"
The gold chain took hold of her enemy's body as he was shocked from getting caught.
"Now you're going to pay for hurting my friends and for ruining my date!" the Venus princess yelled as she called out "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
Her attack didn't do much damage as Malice was still standing.
"Pathetic" he held a wide smirk.
He soon broke free from her love chain as he formed a black sword on his hand. He swung the sword at her as she tried to dodge his moves.
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
While Malice was swinging his sword at the scout, Venus had noticed an opening to strike him. The beam went straight to his side as he collapsed.
"Why you" he groaned as he held the wound.
Venus held her hands in front of him, ready to use her crescent beam attack again. She was too busy to notice her friends' eyes stirring as their hands started to move.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
'Minako' Sailor Moon thought in her mind as she tried her best to wake up.
She felt pain overwhelm her as her skin felt the burn from Malice's fire attack. With a snap Sailor Moon's eyes opened wide as Mercury, Jupiter and Mars join her.
"What's going on?" Jupiter faltered as she boosted herself to sit up slowly.
She and the other four Sailor Scouts turned to see Rowen, Ryo and Sage fighting Malice's demons as Venus was keeping an eye on the fallen red head.
"You shall now die!" Malice screamed crazily as he sent an ice attack at Venus.
"Ah!" Venus cried as she was frozen to the ground
'Oh no' she thought as she tried to get her feet free from the ice that was gluing her.
"See you later Sailor Sweetheart" Malice said impiously as he held his palm near her face.
Rowen turned to Venus when he saw her losing.
"Venus!" he yelled as the other two Ronin Warriors went to aid her.
But they were stopped as Malice's shadow dogs tackled them.
Venus could see the energy forming in Malice's palm. It was faint yellow glow but it soon grew brighter as it was about to kill her.
As she squint her eyes, ready for the blow, she heard "Mercury Aqua Magic!"
Venus darted her eyes towards her fallen friends, who were now either on their knees or standing. Depending on their condition.
"Leave her alone if you know what's best for you!" Jupiter shouted as she yelled "Jupiter Oak Revolution!"
Malice fell back from the attack as Mars used her "Mars Celestial Fire Surround" to free Venus from her ice grasp.
"Alright Malice, I don't care what your reason here is for but you're going down. Cause in the name of the moon, I will punish you!" Sailor Moon said as she tried to stand up.
"And in the name of Mercury!" Mercury cried as she stayed on the ground cause of her injured leg.
"And Mars!" Mars added as she stayed on her knees.
"And for Jupiter also!" Jupiter cried as she was up on her feet and ready to use another attack.
"Jupiter Supreme Thunder Crash!"
"AAAHHHH!!!" Malice screamed as he was too weak to dodge the thunder attack.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
"Mars Fire Ignite!"
Both attacks hit the feeble enemy as he struggled to get up.
"And to finish it off Sailor Moon, use your Honeymoon Therapy Kiss" Mercury recommended as she saw he was weak in her visor.
"I'm on it" Sailor Moon said as she took out her wand.
"Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!" the moon princess cried as she did her spinning and turning and all the other moves she had to, to call out her attack.
"NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Malice let out a horrible scream as he soon turned to black dust.
Pretty soon his demons fallowed him as they turned to dust right on the three Ronin Warriors.
"We did it!" Sailor Moon shrieked as she jumped up and down holding Venus's hand with joy.
"You guys ok?" Jupiter asked when she went to help the three still vigorous Ronin Warriors.
She helped Sage to his feet as he nodded.
"We got to bring the others to the hospital. Quickly!" Mercury said, ended their rejoicing.
They turned to face their wounded friends. Mars was still on her knees holding her cut. Kento and Sai were still unconscious as Mercury had her leg problem.
"But what are we going to tell the doctors. Surly they'll wonder how we got these wounds" Mars pointed out.
"Wait, we can go to my house. I'm sure I'll have some medical stuff there." Mercury suggested as Venus went to help Mars to her feet.
"Let's go then. Beside I'm sure Luna and Artemis can help too" the blond scout informed as she headed towards the park's exit.
Sage and Ryo helped Kento as Sai was helped by Rowen.
Jupiter held Mercury on her back as Sailor Moon and the others fallowed Venus.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
It had been two days since the Sailor Scouts and the Ronin Warriors' battled Malice. Each one was able to get healed as Ami used her ability with medication.
They were now up and about doing normal stuff like normal teenagers would do.
Minako and her girl friends were at the arcade waiting for the Ronin Warriors. School had ended already and Raye was able to meet them when her school was finished.
Rowen had told Minako that he and the other guys had to check something after school and that they would meet later in the Crown Arcade.
"I wonder what's taking them so long" Makoto spoke as she stirred her drink with her straw.
It had been an hour since they have been missing and Minako was starting to wonder.
"Don't worry, they'll be here" Ami assured as she returned to her book.
Usagi and Raye went to play a car racing game since the Sailor V game was being hogged by a ten year old.
"Mwoahahahah!!!" Usagi laughed scarily as she passed Raye.
"Oh I don't think so!" Raye screamed as she jammed her feet on the peddle.
Her racecar soon passed Usagi's as it went through the finish line.
"HA! I win. Now you owe me a drink Usagi" Raye said holding out her hands as if Usagi would put in on her palm.
Usagi just stuck her tong out at the raven girl as she stormed back to the other scouts. Raye just smirked as she fallowed.
"Hey guys. So who won?" Makoto asked as she moved over for Usagi to sit down.
"I did" Raye said triumphantly as Usagi made a face at her.
"You used your physic magic Raye! You cheated!" Usagi said, pointing an accusing finger at her.
"Now, now. You don't have to be a sore loser Usagi. Anybody can beat you" Raye taunted as Usagi was getting fired up.
"Oh yeah you--!!!"
She was cut off as the Crown Arcade doors automatically opened, letting in five very handsome boys.
"Kento!" Usagi screeched as she went to him and lunged at the purple haired boy.
"Hey Usagi" Kento said lifelessly trying to force a smile.
But Usagi could see the depression in his eyes. All the Sailor Scouts could see it in their Ronin Warriors eyes too.
"What's the matter?" Minako asked Rowen as he plopped down on the booth besides her.
"We went to talk to your queen" he began.
The entire Sailor Scout's mouth dropped.
"What?!!" they all said in unison.
"We received word that your dead queen wanted to see us for something. She congratulated us for saving your skins but she told us bad news." Ryo said bleakly as he leaned on the wall.
"And-what would this bad news be?" Ami asked raising an eyebrow.
Sage let out a deep sigh as he dimly said "We're leaving."
"What?!!!" the girls said in accord again.
"You heard him. We're going back to our dimension." Kento said.
"No. But why?" Usagi asked almost in tears.
"Queen Serenity said that there was trouble brewing in our time and that our people needed us again. We can't just abandon them just to stay here. Beside this isn't our home" Sai told the group as he could see glumness in the girl's eyes.
"When are you leaving?" Raye asked turning to Ryo.
Ryo gulped as he let out a, "Today."
The girls gasped with shock as the boys hung their head lows with distress.
"We're leaving on the top of Tokyo Tower at sunset. You're queen will transport us back to our dimension. I do hope you'll be there to say goodbye Minako" Rowen said turning to the cheerless goddess of love.
"Of course I'll be there. You can count on it" she said as she stood up to face him.
"We'll all be there" Makoto added as the rest of the scouts stood up to confirm it.
"Ok but we got to go now. We'll see you on the top of Tokyo Tower later k." Sage got out of his seat.
He and the rest of the Ronin Warriors left the staggered girls in misery as they went to pack.
"Who would have thought that this would be the last day we get to see them again" Usagi said now in tears as she cried on Ami's shoulder.
"Stay strong guys. Everything happens for a reason" Ami secured as Minako watched the boys from the window.
'Does this mean I was never destined for you Rowen?' she thought bitterly as she bit her lower lip.
She wanted to cry like Usagi but couldn't bare the embarrassment from her other friends. Beside, she was the leader of the Inner Scouts and she especially couldn't show any sign of weakness.

The sun was setting as the cool breeze swept threw the ten beings on the tower. The Sailor Scouts and the Ronin Warriors were all together to say good bye to their new friends.
"Well, I guess this is it" Minako said to the boys as the others bowed their heads with discontent.
"Yeah I guess" Kento said as he stepped up to Usagi.
"Well, see ya Usagi" he said forcing a happy smile to lighten up the gloomy girl.
"Yeah, bye Kento" the pigtailed also tried to force a smile.
Usagi then lunged at him, giving Kento a warm hug. Kento returned the hug as he said, "Hey, think of it like this. At least you'll have food all to yourself from now on and also the Sailor V game."
Usagi just nodded as a tear started to roll down her cheeks.
After they soon parted he went to stand in a certain spot Ryo told him to stand. A bright glow soon appeared as it formed a hug circle around the Ronin.
Rowen motioned Minako to fallow him away from the group as they headed behind the rooftop entrance. The group's eyes fallowed the two as they walked away. But was soon interrupted by the raven haired Ryo.
He went up to the red scout as he held out a hand.
"I know we haven't really gotten along but I have to admit. You're pretty nice at times" he said.
Raye smiled at him as she shook his hand firmly.
"Same here. I'll miss you Ryo of wildfire." She said as Ryo smiled back.
He went to join Kento in the glowing circle.
Sai went up to Ami as Sage went up to Makoto.
"It was nice knowing you Ami" Sai said as he took her hand and placed a light kiss on it.
She blushed as she meekly said "Good Bye Sai."
Unexpectedly, Sage planted a kiss on Makoto's cheeks, making the girl's eyes widen. She was completely shock and hadn't expected it.
"See ya" he said as he gave her a charming smile and ran off to the circle with Sai.
Makoto blushed as Usagi and Raye went to their teasing fit.
While all this was happening Minako and Rowen were saying there goodbyes as well. Rowen looked at Minako as she reflected sorrow in her face.
"Minako, remember when we were on that date?" he asked moving closer to her.
The blond looked up at him as she nodded.
"We were about to do something when we were interrupted." He noted as Minako understood.
"You have no idea how much I cursed when it happened" she said lightly laughing.
"Well, we're alone now" he pointed out as his face was a couple of inches away from hers.
Minako could feel his hot breath on her face as she closed her eyes. She felt him cup her chin with his hand as his lips met hers. Both of them blushed instantly as they kissed for a while.
When they parted they heard Kento calling, "Yo Row! Come on pal, we have to go."
Minako pecked him another small kiss as they then returned to their waiting friends.
"Gee, you guys sure took a long time" Kento gave them a mischievous look.
"Yes, I do wonder what where you doing?" Raye teased as a blush spread on both of the couple's faces.
"Knock it off Kento!" Rowen said in garnishing teeth as he still held his blushing expression.
"Come on Rowen. Get in the circle" Ryo told the blue haired boy as he nodded and ran into the ring.
"Bye Minako. Maybe we will see each other someday" he said; giving her a wink and one last dashing smile as Minako smiled and waved at him.
The Ronin Warriors soon disappeared, away from the Sailor Scouts, and Tokyo's sight forever as the wind blew one last time for them.
Minako heard Makoto sigh deeply as Usagi said "There goes our men."
"I know right? What hunks." Makoto commented as Raye and Ami headed to the roof entrance.
Minako stayed on her ground as she just stared at the spot where Rowen had once stood. Ami saw Minako and called her but Minako said that she would catch up with them later.
When the four scouts left; Minako looked up into the setting sun.
"Bye Rowen. Maybe we will meet again someday" she said softly as her black skirt gestured in the breeze.
'Who knows, maybe I was destined to fall in love with him' she thought as a smile crossed her face.
She then left the empty roof to catch up to her friends.
