Ch5: To the Beach!
Ok as usual all rights go to Naoko Takeuchi, the great lady who created
this series. ^_^ Except for the characters I add in.
Chapter 4 is here. Thanks for waiting. Again, this is my first attempt at
a fanfic so don't expect much! I am a huge Jupiter fan so don't get to mad
if I focus on her a lot! But I am going to try and make sure the other
characters get parts in this to! ^_^ Note: Zoicite is a guy, like the
original. That whole thing with Malachite was a brother thing. I don't
know how to explain it other wise.
Chapter 5 starts where it left off. The girls have just gotten an
unsuspected surpirse. The generals are BACK and their being Helpful?! And
yes the girls will be going to the beach with the boys AKA generals, but
they don't know that. heh heh. ^_^ And Serena and Darien make a bet. ^_^
Well here it is! Enjoy! ^_^
Chapter 5: To the Beach!
-------------------------------------------------------
The girls are back at Rei's temple, talking about the fight and their
encounter with the generals.
"So you saw the generals? And they helped you?" Artimus asked skeptical.
Lita was leaning, with arms crossed, on a wall inside the temple. "Yeah,
they said they weren't with Beryl anymore." She said, then stared at the
floor off in her own thoughts. * Who is he... those eyes look so
familiar.*
Ami was reflecting on what happened then remembered something. " Zoicite
said they hadn't always been with Beryl. I don't understand I thought they
were always evil? And.." Ami paused recalling his words. *flash back*'"Who
are you?"' mercury asked. Zoicite:'" Just some adverage people, who happen
to be the reincarnation of these people."*end of flash back* "and... they
said the they were the reincarnations of them! How can that be? Why would
they be recarnated? "Ami asked turning her full attention on their two
gaurdien cats hopeful for some answers.
Artimus and Luna just looked at eachother. Then Luna shook her head. " We
don't remember much about the past. Just that you were all the princess's
gaurdiens, and the fall of the Moon Kindom. It is possible that the
generals weren't with Beryl in the beginning. As to how and why they were
reincarnated.. I don't know."
Serena stopped from devouring her bread roll and looked to be pondering
something. " Isn't it possible that the generals were brain washed like
Darien was?" She said turning to Luna.
Luna blinked. " Yes.. that is possible."
The girls were silent. Then Mina broke the silence." Ok so.. The generals
were good before, then the wicked witch brain washed them to do her
bidding." Mina made an impression of a evil woman with a clawed hand, then
stopped when she got a weird look from Rei. Continuing she said," So.. now
they have been reincarnated as good... Is that right?"
" Well we don't know that they were good from the START! They could have
been evil in another group then joined up with Beryl." Rei said. " And if
they are them reincarnated, wouldn't they be really young, like babies?"
Rei said making a point.
Everyone was quiet again. Ami muld over a few possiblities, none of which
added up, then sighed. " The only way to find out would be to ask them."
" Well there is always next time." Serena sugguested.
"Yeah, I guess so." Lita said." I'd just like to know who they are."
Suddenly both Rei's and Ami's eyes widened.
" They know who WE are!" Rei said panicked.
"Yes that's right!" Ami said in the same nervous tone as Rei. " Oh God!"
" What ARE you guys talking about?!" Serena asked.
Rei turned to Serena somewhat irrated. " Don't you remember! The last time
we fought Jedite he found out that you, Ami, and I were the sailor
scouts!" Rei shouted. " And Nephrite found out about you before he died."
Serena blinked. Then said," But.. their good now..right..?"
" We can't be sure of that!" Rei said. She then looked at the table. " I
guess we'll just have to hope so. And hope they don't descide to pay a
visit."
"Well, we will have to keep an eye out then." Mina said.
" And why didn't they come after us before?" Ami asked.
" But they seemed so nice. And to help us. If they are bad why wouldn't
they just have killed us?" Serena said.
Lita frowned. * That Nephrite guy had been pretty helpful...* " They did
have a pretty good shot at it with us distracted. "
" Yeah. " Rei sighed." But I wouldn't completely trust them, Yet!" Lita
nodded at that. " I still can't believe he Just LEFT! They were suppose to
answer our questions. I'm gonna nail him next time! There is no way I'm
letting him get away a second time, without some answers."
" Forget it Rei! Let's just talk about more pleasant things. Like the
beach tomorrow!" Mina said all excited. " Oh this is going to be so much
fun! Don't you think?"
" Oh yeah!" Lita said perking up. " I had completely forgotten."
Ami sighed. She was still unsure about this whole beach thing. She had
trouble around groups of people, let alone guys!
Lita noticed Ami didn't look to happy about it. "Hey don't worry about it
Ami. If you get bored, you and I can hang out." Lita said winking at Ami.
" I'll make sure you have a good time."
Ami just smiled. It was good to have friends that looked after you.
" So do you guys want to meet at my temple tomorrow morning then will head
over to the beach?" Rei asked. They all nodded.
Luna Looked at Rei. " Wait what if Beryl, if it is Beryl, descides to send
out more yoma?"
"Oh I already thought of that!" Rei said. " The beach were going to is
having celebration there, so there will be a lot of people."
Mina cut in. " A prefect feeding ground for yoma. So it's our duty to go!"
All the girls nodded with that, for the exception of Ami, who only sweat
dropped with Luna and Artimus.
*******************************************
The next day At the Beach:
" Yes! Were finally here." Mina said getting off the bus. She was wearing
a white shorts with her yellow and orange two peice. With bag in hand she
ran over and hugged the nearest pole. Rei got off the bus looking irrated.
She was wearing a red halter top one peice black shorts and had her hair
tied back with a purple bandana in a loose ponytail. Ami walked off nexted
in a dark blue and black marbled like skirt wrap, with a blue one peice.
Lita ran off and joined Mina by the pole wearing black shorts and a green
and yellow two peice. Darien with Serena clinging to him, was the last to
walk off, of the group that is. Darien wearing black trunks and a green
tank, with the ever so present sunglasses. While Serena was wearing a pink
two peice and white skirt wrap. (Pink, Why PINK!)
"So where are your guy friends?" Serena asked eagerly, scanning the beach.
" I don't know.." Mina said. "They were suppose to meet by the bus stop."
Luna and Artimus poked their heads out of Mina's bag. Artimus, " Air, I
need air!"
" It was Way to hot and crowded on that bus. This is the last time I
travel in a bag!" Luna proclaimed.
"Well you got here didn't you." Serena said. " I knew we should have
sadaited them for the bus trip." Luna and Artemus only gave her the look.
" Hey Mina! Over here." said a male voice. And with that Mina shoved both
cats' heads back into the bag, against their protests, and turned around
toward the voice.
She spotted Kevin with three friends, one of which they met at the mall. "
Hey Kevin! I was wondering where you were." She said as she and the group
walked over to them.
Jed spotted Rei. "Hey Rei. Glade you came."
Rei," Hi Jed." *this should to be interesting.* " Yeah same here. Should
be fun." She smiled.* Just here for the beach, remember, just here for the
beach.*
Lita looked over the other two friends, that were somewhat off to the
side. One with wavy auburn hair held Lita's peticular interest. Then she
reconized him. " Hey Ken! What are you doing here!" Lita said smiling.
This got the attention of the girls in the group.
Ken stepped forward." I guess to verse you in volley ball." He said
shrugging. He was wearing black trunks. Lita noted his hair was down for a
change and smiled.
"Well now that Ken has been introduced, the quiet bronze haired boy over
there is Zack." Jed said pointing to the friend indicated.
Ami head immediately snapped to look at the guy. Just as she did that Zack
looked up and spotted Ami. "Ami, you're here too." Zach said somewhat
surprised. Ami looked just as surprised.
Lita whispered to Ami, " So that's.. Zack. Good work Ami, He's cute too."
She said finishing it off by patting her friend on the shoulder. Ami
blushed at that.
Lita looked back over at the guy.*hmm.. but something looks oddly familar
about him.* Lita thought.
" So.. who are you're other two freinds?" Kevin asked, looking at the
couple.
"Oh! I'm Serena and this is Darien." Serena said still clinging to Darien.
"Were just here to watch the game and the festivity." She said with U'y
eyes.
Darien just motioned a wave and smirked." Hi."
" Well .. should we go down to the beach and set up?" Kevin asked.
" Great idea! Let's go." Mina said. She handed her bag to Serena, and
walked with Kevin down to the beach, the two kinda leading the group. Rei
with Jed closely following and then Lita, Ami, Zack and Ken behind them.
Ken and Lita talking about various things. And Serena and Darien in the
back but not to far so Serena could hear everything. The cats the whole
time looking slightly out of the bag at the 4 boys.
*******************************************************
Down at the beach:
The group had just finished setting up the net, and were getting into
their groups. Girls VS Guys, of course. Serena and Darien had also just
finished setting up there blankets, and were currently sitting down
waiting for the game to begin.
" So, who do you think will win?" Serena asked to Darien. Mina over heard
this.
Mina with her hands on her hips said," Well US of course!"
Kevin with a smug grin," Oh! You so sure about that!"
"oh! And you think YOU'RE gonna win, eh?" Mina said eyeing him.
"Yeah!" Kevin said simplely.
Ken joined in."Why's that so hard to beleive?"
"I suppose it's not!" Rei said." But then again you've never played us."
"Yeah!" Lita said. " Never under estimate a girl!" She finish standing
tall.
" Oh we'll see." Zack said finally joining in.
Zack and Ami had been off to the side next to eachother, keeping quiet for
the most part.
Ami turned to him." Oh.. so you don't think we can win." Ami said with a
raised eye brow.
Zack shrugged. " I didn't say that, but it doesn't mean you'll win
either." He finished smiling slightly.
"We'll see." Ami said narrowing her eyes smiling.
Back at the blankets two people sweat dropped over what one question had
started. "So.. you wanna make a bet?" Darien asked turning back to Serena.
Serena nodded, then smiled sly. " What kinda bet."
Darien smiled then thought. " Like .. we each pick a team. And whoever
team loses, has to ....." Darien was cut off.
" Clean the other person's room!" Serena sugguested excitely.
That made Darien shudder. * no way.* " Um.. how about owes the other ten
bucks." Serena growned, not having much money as it was. " Ok how about ..
they have to do what the other person dares."
Serena paused to think about that, then got an evil look on her face. "
Anything .. the other one dares..?!" She asked with and evil purr.
Darien paused, mainly because off the way she asked it. *It can't be THAT
bad. And who says I'll lose.* Darien smiled. "Anything!"
With that Serena out streched her hand, and they shook on it. " DEAL! I
get the GIRLS"
" Fine by me!" Darien said happy.
Now the two unknown cats were sweat dropping along with the two teams.
"Uh.. Should we start the game now?" Jed said still sweat dropping.
"Wait who should go first?" Mina asked.
Seeing there could be trouble Zack stepped in. " We'll flip a coin." He
said presenting the coin. He waited for everyone to nodded. "Ok, who'll
call it?" Rei and Jed volentered. "Ok call it in the air!" And with that
he tossed the coin up.
Jed,"HEADS!" Rei," TAILS!"
The coin landed and the groups waited for the call. Zack looked at the
coin, and then looked up at the two groups. " It's TAILS!"
There was a cheer from the girls side and a grown from the guys, then
everyone took up their position. Mina had the right back corner, Ami the
left back. Lita front left and Rei front right. Jed was front left, so he
was across from Rei, and Zoicite was front right. Ken back left and Kevin
in back right.
Mina gave her war cry and spiked the ball. And with that the game had
begun.
************************************************
Back in the Dark Kindom:
Beryl shadowy face was smiling. "Yes, your plan did well to get energy
General P. But I would like a way that would waste less yoma. Think you
can manage that?" She asked in a firm tone. More like demanded.
Pinky *aheam* General P got up from her bow. "yes...actually. We could
attack a largely populated area, and bring along three stong fighters. The
sailors had trouble enough with a lot of minor yoma, three skilled yoma
should hold them off till the yoma gathering leave." She sugguested. "Then
the fighters could leave as well."
"Good idea, but.." Beryl grinned." Let's keep the fighters there
afterward, and see if we can't just take one of them down. The less of
them the better."
" Yes my Queen." General P said bowing again.
****************************************
Back at the beach, the two teams were having a break from volley ball. So
far the score was 7 to 5, with the girls in the lead. Now they were
currently getting something to drink.
"Man was that tiring." Rei exlaimed as she took another sip from her water
bottle.
Jed smiled over at her, wiping some sweat from his brow. " Oh, so you
don't think you'll be able to continue, huh?"
Rei just grinned back. " You wish!"
Serena was just grinning madely at Darien, who looked pretty worried what
she had in mind if she won.
Darien," H-hey, the game isn't over yet."
" Yet!" Serena said with amusement twinkeling in her eyes. A confused look
soon replaced her happy one, when the ground shook slightly from under
her. "what the." Then screaming could be heard. " Oh, NOT Again!" She
whinned.
Darien looked toward the direction of the screams to see people running in
their direction. The 'group' (not just the sailors, the guys too.) got up
and turned toward the direction. The girls huddled together.
"This isn't good. We need a distaction to change." Serena whispered.
Lita," Got it! I'll go attack like this while you guys change." Serena
gave her a worried look. " Don't worry I'll be fine just hurry." She
whispered.
" I'll go with you. Two is always better than one!" Mina said. Lita nodded
and with that the girls split directions, Darien going off with Serena of
course.
"Come on Mina let's go!" Lita said taking off in the direction of the
attack, with Mina right behind her.
Ken heard Lita's voice and spun around from the direction him and his
friends had been going to , to change. " Wait LITA! What are you DOING!"
But she didn't hear him.
"What's wrong?" Kevin asked.
" Lita and Mina just took off in the direction of the fight. And knowing
Lita she means to fight it." Ken said worried. Then took off in the
direction they went. As he went he yelled back, " Go change, I'm gonna get
Lita before she gets into trouble."
Kevin wanted to protest but Ken was well on his way. He cursed under his
breath, then he and the others continued on to their location.
********************************************************************
Back at the fight:
General P was over looking the fight from the air. " Everything seems to
be going well." Just then she saw a girl with brown haired in a ponytail
knock down a yoma to the sand making it release it's current victem. *
Well there is always bond to be something.*
Lita turned to the scared girl that had been released,"Get out of HERE!"
She commanded taking up her fighting stance. The girl did just that with a
quiet thanks and was gone. The yoma got up looking pissed. " So the Big
Bad yoma wanna play." Lita said with a smirk.
In reply it growled and lunged at her, only to be struck in the face with
an unsuspected volley ball. Mina," Don't mind if I play too. " With
another growl from the yoma she smiled. "Good." and then stood by Lita's
side.
The yoma lunged again and Lita was ready for it. Just as it was within a
few feet, Lita ran up and planted her bent knee in the yoma's stomach,
then procede to do a karate chop to the back off the neck. With that it
dropped unconious to the ground.
Mina cheered, " Cool."
Lita smiled to herself, only to have it be taken away when another yoma
grabbed her from behind. It lifted her up into the air and proceded to
squeeze her tight, causing Lita to grit her teeth. That's when Ken came on
the scene.
" Lita!" Mina yelled as she came to her friend's defence. And kicked the
yoma in the shin, which didn't do too much. Ken seeing this picked up
Mina's fallen volley ball and spiked it at it's head. This distracted the
creature, causing it to drop Lita and swip at the ball, shredding it. This
made Mina obviously mad, for she drop kicked the yoma into the water. A
good distance away too. "THAT WAS AN EXPRESSIVE BALL!" She yelled at it.
Ken came over to Lita as she got up. " What the HELL do you think your
doing!" He yelled. Bad move.
" HELPING, what else!" She yelled back.
Ken sighed, " I know, I'm sorry." Ken spotted the Sailors. " Let just get
out of here before we get hurt."
Lita would have protested had she not seen the Scouts, but since she did,
she only nodded. " Come on Mina let's get out of here and leave it to the
Pros." She said indicating with her head the scouts.
" Yeah.." She sighed, obviously still peeved about the ball. And with that
they took off, amoung the little crowd of people that were lucky enough to
be released. With the crowd the girls got seperated from Ken, on purpose
of course.
Mina and Lita ducked behind a food cart and transformed. After the last of
the people past, they ran back to the fight.
***************************************************
Ken stopped and turned around to look for Lita and Mina as the crowd
passed. After all the people passed and he relized that they were nowhere,
he shrugged and changed. Then headed back towards the battle.
***************************************************
Now that all the players had arrived General P was about to call back the
yoma when she had an unexpected surprise. That was Malichite teleporting
right next to her. She floated back a bit. " Who are you?!" She demanded.
"Just what I was about to ask you." He replyed giving her an icy gaze.
She paused. * He looks fimilar..* " I'm a loyal severant of Beryl's, and
you?" She asked glaring at him.
His eyes narrowed. " Just a new problem for her. Tell her the prince's
protectors are back."
General P only growled irrated, then teleported to another spot in the
air. " Gathers Retreat, Fighters good luck!" she yelled. And with that she
left along with the other yomas, a few caring people.
Two yoma appeared. One that was blue with an water orb in it's hands, and
the other another female plant yoma. The water one shot a blast of water
at Sailor Mercury, that Zoicite sheilded. And the plant yoma attacked
Sailor Moon, who let out a cry as she tried to dogde it's thorny tenicals.
But got cut across her lower leg and fell to the ground. Tux. mask came to
her aid, throwing a rose at it and as he scooped up Sailor Moon to get her
to safety. Jupiter and Venus made the scene and combined attack that only
nicked the plant yoma's side. But was effective enough to make it scream
out. Jupiter went over to take it on. While Malichite appear next to Venus
somewhat surprising her.
Venus taking a step back, " What are you doing here."
Malichite blinked, " Helping what else. Listen I got some info from the
leading yoma." Sailor Moon and tuxedo mask came up from behind them.
Sailor Moon leaning on tuxedo mask.
" Oh that pink haired one in the air? Yeah what did she say?" Sailor Moon
asked. Turning to see Tuxedo's obvious confusion over the thought dead
general standing there. " Oh yeah.. their back, and good now,
supossively." Then turned her attention back to Malichite.
"She said that she's one of Beryl's, so I guess that means she back."
Malichite fininshed.
" Guess so." Tuxedo mask said still eyeing him.
Nephrite came on the feild and saw Jupiter fighting a yoma by herself, and
mentally sighed as he went over to help her. *gotta be Lita.*
Jedite was walking over to where Mars was concentrating.
"That's funny." she said seeing him.
"Oh and what is that." He asked curious.
" I sense three yoma, but only see two." Mars said confused. Then was
started when a sand like yoma popped up right in front of her, and with a
massive arm it knocked her, sending Sailor Mars scidding across the sand.
" MARS!" Jedite yelled as he ran to defend her, horrified to see her scid
across the ground.
Jupiter had been in the middle of dogding thorny balls that the yoma sent
out, when she was distracted by Jedite's cry, and look over to see her
friend on the ground. But this distraction cost her, as she couldn't dogde
as a painfully thorny ball ripped through her left side. The momentum sent
her fly back into the sand, during which a thorny ball nick her thigh, and
another cut her right side. She struggled to get back up shaking because
of the pain. She made it to her knees, only to see the yoma feet. Knowing
it was about to strike, she braced herself for it.
Nephrite saw Jupiter, to his terror, go flying back as the thorny ball hit
her.*Crap!* Seeing the yoma now standing over her didn't help. He powered
up and sent a star beam over at it, finishing it off. Then ran over to the
hurt Sailor.
"Jupiter. Are you ok?" he asked as she sat back. Then he saw the blood.
Looking up at him, "yeah .. thanks for the help." She said, then turned
away as she winced when a wave of pain came.
"That looks bad, y.." He said.
Jupiter cut in. "I'll be fine." She said stubbornly, as she tried to get
to her feet again, only to fall back to her knee.
"Here, let me help." Nephrite offered, as he helped her stand.
Jupiter shrugged off his arm as she attepted to walk on her own again, and
was a little wobbly but able. Turing she said," See I'm fine." She turned
back around as another wave of pain caused her to wince. * This isn't
good. I won't be able to do much in a fight like this.* She saw Jedite was
helping Mars in a current battle against a sand yoma. Turning slightly she
saw Mercury and Zoicite together waiting for their yoma to make a move. *
Might as well help with a distraction.* She thought powering up one last
time. " Jupiter Thunder... DRAGON!" The dragon went fly toward the yoma,
distracting it from it's current prey long enough so that Zoicite was able
to send an ice pick into it's shoulder. Then it got hit by the dragon
letting out a scream as it do so. Jupiter smiled as she fell to the ground
tired, and was surprised to be caught. Looking up she saw Nephrite worried
look.
"You know," He said." It's ok to admit you need a little help. I would
need some after that."
Jupiter turned looked away." I just stubbled." Then attepted to straighten
up and stand on her own, but her body wouldn't let her. Looking up she
sighed," Guess I'll need that help now."
He smiled back, glade to see her agree. " Idoit." She glared at him. He
continued." You can trust me, at least give me a chance." Her feice forest
green eyes stared into his intence blue ones. His showing a softness that
shouldn't have been there. Her face soften, and she looked away.
"... a little."She said looking back at him, " I'll trust you, a
little."She smiled as she heard Sailor Moon calling her name.
Sailor Moon came running up with Tuxedo, Malichite and Venus in tow. "
Jupiter!" Was all she could say as she run up to where Nephrite was
helping her stay standing.
Jupiter smiled over at her friend. " Hey." Sailor Moon stared at Jupiter's
side with concered filled eyes. " What's with the worried look, you know
me. I'll be fine in no time. This is nothing. Besides you still got Mars
and Mercury to worry about."
Sailor Moon smiled slightly with tears in her eyes and then joined Jupiter
and Venus at looking over at her two friends.
************************************************
Jedite was now by Mars side as he sent another blast of fire at the sand
yoma keeping it at bay. " Mars! You ok?" He asked never taking his eyes
off the sand yoma.
Mars's body gave a grunt of disapprovel as she got up." Yeah, just
surprised that's all." She readied herself to do a burning mandela when
the yoma powerfully struck the ground sending sand into the air blinding
them. "Crap!" She felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped.
"That you Mars?" he asked as placed a hand on her shoulder, to help him
find her since he couldn't see.
" Yeah." Mars concentrate. " I might not be able to see it, but I can feel
it... it's to my left."
Jedite took his sword in his left hand and swung out with it, to hear the
yoma let out a scream. Then Mars sent her flames at it. When the dust
cleared the saw a dead charred yoma turn to dust and disappear.
Jedite had an impressed look. " Good work." he commented.
"Naturally." she relpyed before she walked back over to the group, Jedite
close behind. She saw Mercury finish off the last yoma using her Aqua
illusion.
***************************
Back where everyone was gathered: (I'm not going to describe EVERYONE
walking over.)
Jupiter was now just leaning against a forgotten stand from the festival,
insisting she was fine. While Sailor Moon kept asking her to sit down, and
save her energy. Eventually, after her body started to protest standing,
she sat atop the stand.
"So is everyone ok? " Mercury asked.
"Sailor Jupiter is hurt." Sailor Moon said still worried.
Mercury turned to look at Jupiter. Jupiter sighed," Only a little. It's
not like I'm gonna die." Mercury came over to get a closer look first
seeing the nick on her leg and then gasped slightly at the sight of
Jupiter's blood stained sides.
" Well it doesn't look too deep. But it needs to be wrapped up immedately,
and I don't think you should fight till it's healed in case it reopens. "
Mercury said. Jupiter frowned at that. "It's for the best Jupiter."
"Well we better go." Zoicite said. Then he and the other three generals
formed a circle to trasport.
Mars eye lit up with anger at that." Hey wait. You still need to answer
our questions from last time!"
Jedite gave a glace toward the other guys, then turned back to Mars. "
Next time for sure." Then they went back to concentrating on leaving.
" OH NO YOU DON'T! Not Again!" Mars said and with that she launched
herself at Jedite as they teleported away.
The remaining group looked to where the generals and Mars once stood.
"Think Rei will get any answers." Mina asked, sweat dropping, as she
powered down.
" Come on, this is Rei were talking about." Jupiter said, powering down as
well with everyone else. " She'll either do that, or smack those paper
thingy's on their heads till she gets something."
Everyone had changed back, and Ami was looking for something to wrap
Lita's side with.
" I can't go back like this!" Lita said pointing to her sides, mainly the
left that concered her. "I don't have a good enough explaination."
Darien ripped off the bottom part of his green tank and handed it to Ami
to wrap Lita's side. When Ami done with Lita's side, then Darien handed
the rest of his tank to Lita. " Here Lita, that way no one will see your
injured." Lita took the tank gratefully.
Ami sighed," I hope Rei doesn't get heself into trouble."
"Well lets head back and hope Rei meet us back at the net. " Mina
suggested.
"Oh yeah." Serena said. " We still have a game to play." the group gave
her a weird look.
Mina let out a growl. " I totally forgot. That STUPID yoma destroyed my
ball! I just bought it too. Why is life so cruel!"
"Well I guess that means I won." Serena beamed. Darien bowed his head in
defeat, and wonder what his fate would be.
*******************************************************
Else where on the beach, the generals had just transported there.
Jedite soon became aware of something clinging to around his neck from the
back. "Gah! Get it off. What's on me?!" Reaching up he felt two gloved
hands, and blinked.
Malichite," It would appear Sailor Mars followed you."
Sailor Mars released her hold on Jedite and looked around to realize the
other sailors were no where in sight. * Great... Not only did I get
transported with the generals; But I'm totally alone with them. Even
better!*
Jedite rubbed the side of his neck." So...what do you want?"
Upon the stupid question, Mars whipped out those 'paper thingys' Lita had
been talking about. "What do you think!"
Jedite now sweating reconizing the paper thingys," Oh yeah..answers huh."
^_^` "You know you probably have a lot of questions... maybe a-"
Mars cut him off. " Do you know who we are?! Do you remember who we are?"
All the while her paper scrolls still readied in her hand.
Jedite paused a moment to consider if he should just lie, then gave
in."Yes."
Mars tense a little more. She had almost hoped he say no. Sigh *At least
he's being honest.* "Then why not attack us before? Why are you helping
us? WHO are all of you? How come your not chi-"
Malchite step forward. "Listen, I know you have many questions. But You
can get your answers later from Jedite."
Jedite didn't like this idea. "Wait! Why me!"
"You know her, and where she lives. Just easier." Malchite said.
" Fine. So when do you want to meet." Jedite asked Mars.
"Later tonight... around 9:30. You remember the temple?" Mars waited till
he nodded then continued. " Meet me at the top of the stairs, by the tree
to the right of them. Got it?!"
"um..sure. No problem." Jedite said. "Can I go now?"
"Fine." Mars said as she started to take off in the way of the Volley ball
net. Then stopped ," Remember no fun-" She turned around to see them
already gone. " Well that's a relief then... at least I can change back."
With that she powered down, and continued walking back.
*********************************************************
Back at the net:
The girls, except Rei, and Darien were walking back to the net, and found
the guys were already there.
"So were did you guys go." Mina asked.
Making up a cover story, Kevin said, " I was going to ask you the same
thing. We thought you were all running way from the scene...but didn't see
you and came back here to see if you were here." * That should work.*
Mina," Well Lita and I went to help, while the rest went somewhere safe.
After Ken showed up we left and met up with the rest."
Jed was looking around. "Hey where is Rei?" * I thought she would have met
back up with them.* His question was soon answered.
"Right here!" Rei was walking up to the group. " Got lost in the crowd."
Jed only smiled slightly. *Sure you did.* His smile soon turned to a frown
as he noticed something. "Rei, are you ok."
Rei looks confused, then looked where he's looking, her left arm. There
was a cut on her upper arm and it bleeding a bit. Looking back up," Oh
yeah it's just a cut."
Jed came closer to look at it. " Yeah, but it should still be cover up."
Rei smiled, "Fine." At that Rei took the purple badana out of her hair.
Then tryed to tie it around the cut, only to have it snatched away by Jed.
Jed, "Here let me." He said looking at her arm as he gently tied it. Rei
slightly blushed at this. When it was done Rei thanked him.
Zack looked at the sun as it started to set. "I guess we should head
back."
"Yeah." Mina replied." The last bus will be coming soon." The group
started to walk up.
"We'll walk you to the bus stop and stay till it comes." Kevin said.
Jed, "Too bad we didn't finish the game. Guess will never know who won the
game."
"Oh?" Rei said with a sly look. "If I remember right, we were in the lead.
So we won."
Jed," What then I want a rematch, there was interference." Rei just
laughed.
When she was done Rei asked," Hey, did you want to meet me for breakfast
tomorrow?"
Jed was suprised," Yeah, sure." He said nervously.
"Great." Rei said," So did you want to ride home with me so I can show you
where I live or I can give you directions?"
*If I say no, and tell her I already know where she lives she'll know. And
this way I get to see her more so..* "I'll just ride home with you, makes
it easier." Jed said as the arrived at the bus stop.
Ken noticed Lita looked really tired. * If Jupiter is Lita she would be
tired. And when did Lita get that a green tank top?* "Hey Lita we have
room in the car, since Jed won't be coming with us. Do you want a ride?"
Lita, meanwhile was off in her own thoughts. *UGH! Tired...wanna be home.
Stupid bus trip will take forever. Wait... what.. a ride.* Lita looked at
Ken, then the approching bus. The Ken again, "Yeah I think I'll take you
up on your offer." *Yawn* " Beats taking the bus home."
The other started to get on the bus, but Ami and Serena came up to Lita
before leaving. " Try and get some rest tonight and change the bandages.
Don't do any serious moving around, I don't want you to reopen anything
that's already been healed." Ami said in a quiet voice.
Lita smiled, " Yes doc."
"Really Lita," Serena said concerned."I don't want you to hurt yourself
worse."
Lita's eyes soften. "Don't worry Serena. I'll take care off my self." And
gave her a big smile.
Serena smiled back, " Ok I'll come check on you tomorrow morning." And
with that they went their seprate ways.
**********************************
In the car:
Kevin was driving with Zack in the passenger seat up front. Lita and Ken
had the back.
Ken, " Lita, you feeling alright."
Lita, "Yeah, just a bit tired."
Ken, "When did you hurt your leg?" Lita looked down at her lower right leg
where there was a small cut.
Lita sighed, " Must have happened when Mina and I went to attack the yoma.
It's nothing bad.
Kevin, " Sorry to interupt, but where do you live?"
Lita, " Oh just drop me off where Ken lives. I live around there."
They soon came upon the area where Ken lived. Kevin, " Well here we are.
Hope to see you and your friends again, Lita."
"Yeah, thanks for the ride. See yah." Lita said. Lita waited till the car
rounded the corner, then turned to Ken. Smiling, "Who would have thought I
bump into you again so soon."
"Yeah, strange huh." Ken said. Then asked, "Can I walk you home. I just
want to make sure you get there, you looked like you were going to fall
asleep in the car."
Lita blinked, "Yeah, if you want to." They began walking.
After a bit of silence. "Looks like you got a lot of friends."
"Just them, and you." Lita said smiling while looking forward. Her eyes
softened. "I don't know if I would have met any of them, if it weren't for
Serena. When I first transfered to Juban High, no one would come up to me
because of my rep. But she just came right up to me at lunch. *laughs* She
liked my cooking."
Ken just look at Lita curiously. "She means a lot to you huh?"
Lita,"...Yeah she does. She made me feel like I fit in." Turning to Ken
with a said smile. " I was so lonely when I had to transfer, she helped
with that." Ken looked ahead thinking, then stopped when she continued,
"Not that your not important to me. You are.. you were my first friend,
someone who stuck by me."
Ken looked at her smiling. " I know. Your very important to me too." They
just paused there staring at eachother. Then both looked away.
*When he said that...why did I get all flustered. He just my friend.
Relax.* Lita noticed they were outside of her apartment building. Looking
up, "Well guess were here." Looking at Ken. "Guess I'll see you later." It
was then that her body chose to protest her standing anymore, and Lita put
her hand on her side in pain.
Ken,"Lita?" Lita just sat down on the stairs leading into the apartment.
Ken looked at on of the sides to the green tank where blood was soaking
through. *She has to be her.* " So is that another wound you got during
the fight?!"
Lita didn't know what to say. But only nodded.
Sigh,"Why didn't you tell me. Did you rap it?"Ken asked coming to sit by
her on the steps.
Lita looked at the blood on the tank. "Yeah but I think it need to be
rapped again. It's nothing big." Lita reached up to the rail and pulled
herself up. "Looking at Ken. "Don't worry." Then a wave a dizziness struck
as she gripped the rail for support. She soon found Ken steading her.
"Of course I'm worried." Sigh "Let me help you up to your apartment." She
gave in with a nod. He place one of her arms over his shoulder and an arm
under hers. Together they walked inside and went to her apartment. When
they got inside her apartment Ken walked her over to the couch.
Lita sat there a moment before getting up agian. Ken looked at her with
question. "I'll be right back. I'm just going to change that bandage."
With that she left.
Moments later she returned from the bathroom looking very tired. Ken, "
Well how is it?"
" It'll be fine, just needs to heal." she said sitting next to him. "
Thanks for walking me home. It might have been bad had you not." She said
smiling. "And thanks for coming to my recue today."
Ken blushed a bit. "Yeah, just like old times."
"yeah.."
It was slighlent for a bit. * I want to know. Heck I know, she has to be
Jupiter with those wounds. I want to tell her, but how will she react.*
"Hey Lita.."
After no response he turned to look at her, o find her dead alseep. He
sighed. "Well maybe next time." He said smiling. He scooped her up and
took her to her bed, where he tucked her in. Ken was about to leave her
room when he pause in the door frame, and look back at Lita sleeping in
the bed. A worried look across his face. He then pulled a chair where he
sat and tryed to get comfertable for the night.

Ok as usual all rights go to Naoko Takeuchi, the great lady who created
this series. ^_^ Except for the characters I add in.
Chapter 4 is here. Thanks for waiting. Again, this is my first attempt at
a fanfic so don't expect much! I am a huge Jupiter fan so don't get to mad
if I focus on her a lot! But I am going to try and make sure the other
characters get parts in this to! ^_^ Note: Zoicite is a guy, like the
original. That whole thing with Malachite was a brother thing. I don't
know how to explain it other wise.
Chapter 5 starts where it left off. The girls have just gotten an
unsuspected surpirse. The generals are BACK and their being Helpful?! And
yes the girls will be going to the beach with the boys AKA generals, but
they don't know that. heh heh. ^_^ And Serena and Darien make a bet. ^_^
Well here it is! Enjoy! ^_^
Chapter 5: To the Beach!
-------------------------------------------------------
The girls are back at Rei's temple, talking about the fight and their
encounter with the generals.
"So you saw the generals? And they helped you?" Artimus asked skeptical.
Lita was leaning, with arms crossed, on a wall inside the temple. "Yeah,
they said they weren't with Beryl anymore." She said, then stared at the
floor off in her own thoughts. * Who is he... those eyes look so
familiar.*
Ami was reflecting on what happened then remembered something. " Zoicite
said they hadn't always been with Beryl. I don't understand I thought they
were always evil? And.." Ami paused recalling his words. *flash back*'"Who
are you?"' mercury asked. Zoicite:'" Just some adverage people, who happen
to be the reincarnation of these people."*end of flash back* "and... they
said the they were the reincarnations of them! How can that be? Why would
they be recarnated? "Ami asked turning her full attention on their two
gaurdien cats hopeful for some answers.
Artimus and Luna just looked at eachother. Then Luna shook her head. " We
don't remember much about the past. Just that you were all the princess's
gaurdiens, and the fall of the Moon Kindom. It is possible that the
generals weren't with Beryl in the beginning. As to how and why they were
reincarnated.. I don't know."
Serena stopped from devouring her bread roll and looked to be pondering
something. " Isn't it possible that the generals were brain washed like
Darien was?" She said turning to Luna.
Luna blinked. " Yes.. that is possible."
The girls were silent. Then Mina broke the silence." Ok so.. The generals
were good before, then the wicked witch brain washed them to do her
bidding." Mina made an impression of a evil woman with a clawed hand, then
stopped when she got a weird look from Rei. Continuing she said," So.. now
they have been reincarnated as good... Is that right?"
" Well we don't know that they were good from the START! They could have
been evil in another group then joined up with Beryl." Rei said. " And if
they are them reincarnated, wouldn't they be really young, like babies?"
Rei said making a point.
Everyone was quiet again. Ami muld over a few possiblities, none of which
added up, then sighed. " The only way to find out would be to ask them."
" Well there is always next time." Serena sugguested.
"Yeah, I guess so." Lita said." I'd just like to know who they are."
Suddenly both Rei's and Ami's eyes widened.
" They know who WE are!" Rei said panicked.
"Yes that's right!" Ami said in the same nervous tone as Rei. " Oh God!"
" What ARE you guys talking about?!" Serena asked.
Rei turned to Serena somewhat irrated. " Don't you remember! The last time
we fought Jedite he found out that you, Ami, and I were the sailor
scouts!" Rei shouted. " And Nephrite found out about you before he died."
Serena blinked. Then said," But.. their good now..right..?"
" We can't be sure of that!" Rei said. She then looked at the table. " I
guess we'll just have to hope so. And hope they don't descide to pay a
visit."
"Well, we will have to keep an eye out then." Mina said.
" And why didn't they come after us before?" Ami asked.
" But they seemed so nice. And to help us. If they are bad why wouldn't
they just have killed us?" Serena said.
Lita frowned. * That Nephrite guy had been pretty helpful...* " They did
have a pretty good shot at it with us distracted. "
" Yeah. " Rei sighed." But I wouldn't completely trust them, Yet!" Lita
nodded at that. " I still can't believe he Just LEFT! They were suppose to
answer our questions. I'm gonna nail him next time! There is no way I'm
letting him get away a second time, without some answers."
" Forget it Rei! Let's just talk about more pleasant things. Like the
beach tomorrow!" Mina said all excited. " Oh this is going to be so much
fun! Don't you think?"
" Oh yeah!" Lita said perking up. " I had completely forgotten."
Ami sighed. She was still unsure about this whole beach thing. She had
trouble around groups of people, let alone guys!
Lita noticed Ami didn't look to happy about it. "Hey don't worry about it
Ami. If you get bored, you and I can hang out." Lita said winking at Ami.
" I'll make sure you have a good time."
Ami just smiled. It was good to have friends that looked after you.
" So do you guys want to meet at my temple tomorrow morning then will head
over to the beach?" Rei asked. They all nodded.
Luna Looked at Rei. " Wait what if Beryl, if it is Beryl, descides to send
out more yoma?"
"Oh I already thought of that!" Rei said. " The beach were going to is
having celebration there, so there will be a lot of people."
Mina cut in. " A prefect feeding ground for yoma. So it's our duty to go!"
All the girls nodded with that, for the exception of Ami, who only sweat
dropped with Luna and Artimus.
*******************************************
The next day At the Beach:
" Yes! Were finally here." Mina said getting off the bus. She was wearing
a white shorts with her yellow and orange two peice. With bag in hand she
ran over and hugged the nearest pole. Rei got off the bus looking irrated.
She was wearing a red halter top one peice black shorts and had her hair
tied back with a purple bandana in a loose ponytail. Ami walked off nexted
in a dark blue and black marbled like skirt wrap, with a blue one peice.
Lita ran off and joined Mina by the pole wearing black shorts and a green
and yellow two peice. Darien with Serena clinging to him, was the last to
walk off, of the group that is. Darien wearing black trunks and a green
tank, with the ever so present sunglasses. While Serena was wearing a pink
two peice and white skirt wrap. (Pink, Why PINK!)
"So where are your guy friends?" Serena asked eagerly, scanning the beach.
" I don't know.." Mina said. "They were suppose to meet by the bus stop."
Luna and Artimus poked their heads out of Mina's bag. Artimus, " Air, I
need air!"
" It was Way to hot and crowded on that bus. This is the last time I
travel in a bag!" Luna proclaimed.
"Well you got here didn't you." Serena said. " I knew we should have
sadaited them for the bus trip." Luna and Artemus only gave her the look.
" Hey Mina! Over here." said a male voice. And with that Mina shoved both
cats' heads back into the bag, against their protests, and turned around
toward the voice.
She spotted Kevin with three friends, one of which they met at the mall. "
Hey Kevin! I was wondering where you were." She said as she and the group
walked over to them.
Jed spotted Rei. "Hey Rei. Glade you came."
Rei," Hi Jed." *this should to be interesting.* " Yeah same here. Should
be fun." She smiled.* Just here for the beach, remember, just here for the
beach.*
Lita looked over the other two friends, that were somewhat off to the
side. One with wavy auburn hair held Lita's peticular interest. Then she
reconized him. " Hey Ken! What are you doing here!" Lita said smiling.
This got the attention of the girls in the group.
Ken stepped forward." I guess to verse you in volley ball." He said
shrugging. He was wearing black trunks. Lita noted his hair was down for a
change and smiled.
"Well now that Ken has been introduced, the quiet bronze haired boy over
there is Zack." Jed said pointing to the friend indicated.
Ami head immediately snapped to look at the guy. Just as she did that Zack
looked up and spotted Ami. "Ami, you're here too." Zach said somewhat
surprised. Ami looked just as surprised.
Lita whispered to Ami, " So that's.. Zack. Good work Ami, He's cute too."
She said finishing it off by patting her friend on the shoulder. Ami
blushed at that.
Lita looked back over at the guy.*hmm.. but something looks oddly familar
about him.* Lita thought.
" So.. who are you're other two freinds?" Kevin asked, looking at the
couple.
"Oh! I'm Serena and this is Darien." Serena said still clinging to Darien.
"Were just here to watch the game and the festivity." She said with U'y
eyes.
Darien just motioned a wave and smirked." Hi."
" Well .. should we go down to the beach and set up?" Kevin asked.
" Great idea! Let's go." Mina said. She handed her bag to Serena, and
walked with Kevin down to the beach, the two kinda leading the group. Rei
with Jed closely following and then Lita, Ami, Zack and Ken behind them.
Ken and Lita talking about various things. And Serena and Darien in the
back but not to far so Serena could hear everything. The cats the whole
time looking slightly out of the bag at the 4 boys.
*******************************************************
Down at the beach:
The group had just finished setting up the net, and were getting into
their groups. Girls VS Guys, of course. Serena and Darien had also just
finished setting up there blankets, and were currently sitting down
waiting for the game to begin.
" So, who do you think will win?" Serena asked to Darien. Mina over heard
this.
Mina with her hands on her hips said," Well US of course!"
Kevin with a smug grin," Oh! You so sure about that!"
"oh! And you think YOU'RE gonna win, eh?" Mina said eyeing him.
"Yeah!" Kevin said simplely.
Ken joined in."Why's that so hard to beleive?"
"I suppose it's not!" Rei said." But then again you've never played us."
"Yeah!" Lita said. " Never under estimate a girl!" She finish standing
tall.
" Oh we'll see." Zack said finally joining in.
Zack and Ami had been off to the side next to eachother, keeping quiet for
the most part.
Ami turned to him." Oh.. so you don't think we can win." Ami said with a
raised eye brow.
Zack shrugged. " I didn't say that, but it doesn't mean you'll win
either." He finished smiling slightly.
"We'll see." Ami said narrowing her eyes smiling.
Back at the blankets two people sweat dropped over what one question had
started. "So.. you wanna make a bet?" Darien asked turning back to Serena.
Serena nodded, then smiled sly. " What kinda bet."
Darien smiled then thought. " Like .. we each pick a team. And whoever
team loses, has to ....." Darien was cut off.
" Clean the other person's room!" Serena sugguested excitely.
That made Darien shudder. * no way.* " Um.. how about owes the other ten
bucks." Serena growned, not having much money as it was. " Ok how about ..
they have to do what the other person dares."
Serena paused to think about that, then got an evil look on her face. "
Anything .. the other one dares..?!" She asked with and evil purr.
Darien paused, mainly because off the way she asked it. *It can't be THAT
bad. And who says I'll lose.* Darien smiled. "Anything!"
With that Serena out streched her hand, and they shook on it. " DEAL! I
get the GIRLS"
" Fine by me!" Darien said happy.
Now the two unknown cats were sweat dropping along with the two teams.
"Uh.. Should we start the game now?" Jed said still sweat dropping.
"Wait who should go first?" Mina asked.
Seeing there could be trouble Zack stepped in. " We'll flip a coin." He
said presenting the coin. He waited for everyone to nodded. "Ok, who'll
call it?" Rei and Jed volentered. "Ok call it in the air!" And with that
he tossed the coin up.
Jed,"HEADS!" Rei," TAILS!"
The coin landed and the groups waited for the call. Zack looked at the
coin, and then looked up at the two groups. " It's TAILS!"
There was a cheer from the girls side and a grown from the guys, then
everyone took up their position. Mina had the right back corner, Ami the
left back. Lita front left and Rei front right. Jed was front left, so he
was across from Rei, and Zoicite was front right. Ken back left and Kevin
in back right.
Mina gave her war cry and spiked the ball. And with that the game had
begun.
************************************************
Back in the Dark Kindom:
Beryl shadowy face was smiling. "Yes, your plan did well to get energy
General P. But I would like a way that would waste less yoma. Think you
can manage that?" She asked in a firm tone. More like demanded.
Pinky *aheam* General P got up from her bow. "yes...actually. We could
attack a largely populated area, and bring along three stong fighters. The
sailors had trouble enough with a lot of minor yoma, three skilled yoma
should hold them off till the yoma gathering leave." She sugguested. "Then
the fighters could leave as well."
"Good idea, but.." Beryl grinned." Let's keep the fighters there
afterward, and see if we can't just take one of them down. The less of
them the better."
" Yes my Queen." General P said bowing again.
****************************************
Back at the beach, the two teams were having a break from volley ball. So
far the score was 7 to 5, with the girls in the lead. Now they were
currently getting something to drink.
"Man was that tiring." Rei exlaimed as she took another sip from her water
bottle.
Jed smiled over at her, wiping some sweat from his brow. " Oh, so you
don't think you'll be able to continue, huh?"
Rei just grinned back. " You wish!"
Serena was just grinning madely at Darien, who looked pretty worried what
she had in mind if she won.
Darien," H-hey, the game isn't over yet."
" Yet!" Serena said with amusement twinkeling in her eyes. A confused look
soon replaced her happy one, when the ground shook slightly from under
her. "what the." Then screaming could be heard. " Oh, NOT Again!" She
whinned.
Darien looked toward the direction of the screams to see people running in
their direction. The 'group' (not just the sailors, the guys too.) got up
and turned toward the direction. The girls huddled together.
"This isn't good. We need a distaction to change." Serena whispered.
Lita," Got it! I'll go attack like this while you guys change." Serena
gave her a worried look. " Don't worry I'll be fine just hurry." She
whispered.
" I'll go with you. Two is always better than one!" Mina said. Lita nodded
and with that the girls split directions, Darien going off with Serena of
course.
"Come on Mina let's go!" Lita said taking off in the direction of the
attack, with Mina right behind her.
Ken heard Lita's voice and spun around from the direction him and his
friends had been going to , to change. " Wait LITA! What are you DOING!"
But she didn't hear him.
"What's wrong?" Kevin asked.
" Lita and Mina just took off in the direction of the fight. And knowing
Lita she means to fight it." Ken said worried. Then took off in the
direction they went. As he went he yelled back, " Go change, I'm gonna get
Lita before she gets into trouble."
Kevin wanted to protest but Ken was well on his way. He cursed under his
breath, then he and the others continued on to their location.
********************************************************************
Back at the fight:
General P was over looking the fight from the air. " Everything seems to
be going well." Just then she saw a girl with brown haired in a ponytail
knock down a yoma to the sand making it release it's current victem. *
Well there is always bond to be something.*
Lita turned to the scared girl that had been released,"Get out of HERE!"
She commanded taking up her fighting stance. The girl did just that with a
quiet thanks and was gone. The yoma got up looking pissed. " So the Big
Bad yoma wanna play." Lita said with a smirk.
In reply it growled and lunged at her, only to be struck in the face with
an unsuspected volley ball. Mina," Don't mind if I play too. " With
another growl from the yoma she smiled. "Good." and then stood by Lita's
side.
The yoma lunged again and Lita was ready for it. Just as it was within a
few feet, Lita ran up and planted her bent knee in the yoma's stomach,
then procede to do a karate chop to the back off the neck. With that it
dropped unconious to the ground.
Mina cheered, " Cool."
Lita smiled to herself, only to have it be taken away when another yoma
grabbed her from behind. It lifted her up into the air and proceded to
squeeze her tight, causing Lita to grit her teeth. That's when Ken came on
the scene.
" Lita!" Mina yelled as she came to her friend's defence. And kicked the
yoma in the shin, which didn't do too much. Ken seeing this picked up
Mina's fallen volley ball and spiked it at it's head. This distracted the
creature, causing it to drop Lita and swip at the ball, shredding it. This
made Mina obviously mad, for she drop kicked the yoma into the water. A
good distance away too. "THAT WAS AN EXPRESSIVE BALL!" She yelled at it.
Ken came over to Lita as she got up. " What the HELL do you think your
doing!" He yelled. Bad move.
" HELPING, what else!" She yelled back.
Ken sighed, " I know, I'm sorry." Ken spotted the Sailors. " Let just get
out of here before we get hurt."
Lita would have protested had she not seen the Scouts, but since she did,
she only nodded. " Come on Mina let's get out of here and leave it to the
Pros." She said indicating with her head the scouts.
" Yeah.." She sighed, obviously still peeved about the ball. And with that
they took off, amoung the little crowd of people that were lucky enough to
be released. With the crowd the girls got seperated from Ken, on purpose
of course.
Mina and Lita ducked behind a food cart and transformed. After the last of
the people past, they ran back to the fight.
***************************************************
Ken stopped and turned around to look for Lita and Mina as the crowd
passed. After all the people passed and he relized that they were nowhere,
he shrugged and changed. Then headed back towards the battle.
***************************************************
Now that all the players had arrived General P was about to call back the
yoma when she had an unexpected surprise. That was Malichite teleporting
right next to her. She floated back a bit. " Who are you?!" She demanded.
"Just what I was about to ask you." He replyed giving her an icy gaze.
She paused. * He looks fimilar..* " I'm a loyal severant of Beryl's, and
you?" She asked glaring at him.
His eyes narrowed. " Just a new problem for her. Tell her the prince's
protectors are back."
General P only growled irrated, then teleported to another spot in the
air. " Gathers Retreat, Fighters good luck!" she yelled. And with that she
left along with the other yomas, a few caring people.
Two yoma appeared. One that was blue with an water orb in it's hands, and
the other another female plant yoma. The water one shot a blast of water
at Sailor Mercury, that Zoicite sheilded. And the plant yoma attacked
Sailor Moon, who let out a cry as she tried to dogde it's thorny tenicals.
But got cut across her lower leg and fell to the ground. Tux. mask came to
her aid, throwing a rose at it and as he scooped up Sailor Moon to get her
to safety. Jupiter and Venus made the scene and combined attack that only
nicked the plant yoma's side. But was effective enough to make it scream
out. Jupiter went over to take it on. While Malichite appear next to Venus
somewhat surprising her.
Venus taking a step back, " What are you doing here."
Malichite blinked, " Helping what else. Listen I got some info from the
leading yoma." Sailor Moon and tuxedo mask came up from behind them.
Sailor Moon leaning on tuxedo mask.
" Oh that pink haired one in the air? Yeah what did she say?" Sailor Moon
asked. Turning to see Tuxedo's obvious confusion over the thought dead
general standing there. " Oh yeah.. their back, and good now,
supossively." Then turned her attention back to Malichite.
"She said that she's one of Beryl's, so I guess that means she back."
Malichite fininshed.
" Guess so." Tuxedo mask said still eyeing him.
Nephrite came on the feild and saw Jupiter fighting a yoma by herself, and
mentally sighed as he went over to help her. *gotta be Lita.*
Jedite was walking over to where Mars was concentrating.
"That's funny." she said seeing him.
"Oh and what is that." He asked curious.
" I sense three yoma, but only see two." Mars said confused. Then was
started when a sand like yoma popped up right in front of her, and with a
massive arm it knocked her, sending Sailor Mars scidding across the sand.
" MARS!" Jedite yelled as he ran to defend her, horrified to see her scid
across the ground.
Jupiter had been in the middle of dogding thorny balls that the yoma sent
out, when she was distracted by Jedite's cry, and look over to see her
friend on the ground. But this distraction cost her, as she couldn't dogde
as a painfully thorny ball ripped through her left side. The momentum sent
her fly back into the sand, during which a thorny ball nick her thigh, and
another cut her right side. She struggled to get back up shaking because
of the pain. She made it to her knees, only to see the yoma feet. Knowing
it was about to strike, she braced herself for it.
Nephrite saw Jupiter, to his terror, go flying back as the thorny ball hit
her.*Crap!* Seeing the yoma now standing over her didn't help. He powered
up and sent a star beam over at it, finishing it off. Then ran over to the
hurt Sailor.
"Jupiter. Are you ok?" he asked as she sat back. Then he saw the blood.
Looking up at him, "yeah .. thanks for the help." She said, then turned
away as she winced when a wave of pain came.
"That looks bad, y.." He said.
Jupiter cut in. "I'll be fine." She said stubbornly, as she tried to get
to her feet again, only to fall back to her knee.
"Here, let me help." Nephrite offered, as he helped her stand.
Jupiter shrugged off his arm as she attepted to walk on her own again, and
was a little wobbly but able. Turing she said," See I'm fine." She turned
back around as another wave of pain caused her to wince. * This isn't
good. I won't be able to do much in a fight like this.* She saw Jedite was
helping Mars in a current battle against a sand yoma. Turning slightly she
saw Mercury and Zoicite together waiting for their yoma to make a move. *
Might as well help with a distraction.* She thought powering up one last
time. " Jupiter Thunder... DRAGON!" The dragon went fly toward the yoma,
distracting it from it's current prey long enough so that Zoicite was able
to send an ice pick into it's shoulder. Then it got hit by the dragon
letting out a scream as it do so. Jupiter smiled as she fell to the ground
tired, and was surprised to be caught. Looking up she saw Nephrite worried
look.
"You know," He said." It's ok to admit you need a little help. I would
need some after that."
Jupiter turned looked away." I just stubbled." Then attepted to straighten
up and stand on her own, but her body wouldn't let her. Looking up she
sighed," Guess I'll need that help now."
He smiled back, glade to see her agree. " Idoit." She glared at him. He
continued." You can trust me, at least give me a chance." Her feice forest
green eyes stared into his intence blue ones. His showing a softness that
shouldn't have been there. Her face soften, and she looked away.
"... a little."She said looking back at him, " I'll trust you, a
little."She smiled as she heard Sailor Moon calling her name.
Sailor Moon came running up with Tuxedo, Malichite and Venus in tow. "
Jupiter!" Was all she could say as she run up to where Nephrite was
helping her stay standing.
Jupiter smiled over at her friend. " Hey." Sailor Moon stared at Jupiter's
side with concered filled eyes. " What's with the worried look, you know
me. I'll be fine in no time. This is nothing. Besides you still got Mars
and Mercury to worry about."
Sailor Moon smiled slightly with tears in her eyes and then joined Jupiter
and Venus at looking over at her two friends.
************************************************
Jedite was now by Mars side as he sent another blast of fire at the sand
yoma keeping it at bay. " Mars! You ok?" He asked never taking his eyes
off the sand yoma.
Mars's body gave a grunt of disapprovel as she got up." Yeah, just
surprised that's all." She readied herself to do a burning mandela when
the yoma powerfully struck the ground sending sand into the air blinding
them. "Crap!" She felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped.
"That you Mars?" he asked as placed a hand on her shoulder, to help him
find her since he couldn't see.
" Yeah." Mars concentrate. " I might not be able to see it, but I can feel
it... it's to my left."
Jedite took his sword in his left hand and swung out with it, to hear the
yoma let out a scream. Then Mars sent her flames at it. When the dust
cleared the saw a dead charred yoma turn to dust and disappear.
Jedite had an impressed look. " Good work." he commented.
"Naturally." she relpyed before she walked back over to the group, Jedite
close behind. She saw Mercury finish off the last yoma using her Aqua
illusion.
***************************
Back where everyone was gathered: (I'm not going to describe EVERYONE
walking over.)
Jupiter was now just leaning against a forgotten stand from the festival,
insisting she was fine. While Sailor Moon kept asking her to sit down, and
save her energy. Eventually, after her body started to protest standing,
she sat atop the stand.
"So is everyone ok? " Mercury asked.
"Sailor Jupiter is hurt." Sailor Moon said still worried.
Mercury turned to look at Jupiter. Jupiter sighed," Only a little. It's
not like I'm gonna die." Mercury came over to get a closer look first
seeing the nick on her leg and then gasped slightly at the sight of
Jupiter's blood stained sides.
" Well it doesn't look too deep. But it needs to be wrapped up immedately,
and I don't think you should fight till it's healed in case it reopens. "
Mercury said. Jupiter frowned at that. "It's for the best Jupiter."
"Well we better go." Zoicite said. Then he and the other three generals
formed a circle to trasport.
Mars eye lit up with anger at that." Hey wait. You still need to answer
our questions from last time!"
Jedite gave a glace toward the other guys, then turned back to Mars. "
Next time for sure." Then they went back to concentrating on leaving.
" OH NO YOU DON'T! Not Again!" Mars said and with that she launched
herself at Jedite as they teleported away.
The remaining group looked to where the generals and Mars once stood.
"Think Rei will get any answers." Mina asked, sweat dropping, as she
powered down.
" Come on, this is Rei were talking about." Jupiter said, powering down as
well with everyone else. " She'll either do that, or smack those paper
thingy's on their heads till she gets something."
Everyone had changed back, and Ami was looking for something to wrap
Lita's side with.
" I can't go back like this!" Lita said pointing to her sides, mainly the
left that concered her. "I don't have a good enough explaination."
Darien ripped off the bottom part of his green tank and handed it to Ami
to wrap Lita's side. When Ami done with Lita's side, then Darien handed
the rest of his tank to Lita. " Here Lita, that way no one will see your
injured." Lita took the tank gratefully.
Ami sighed," I hope Rei doesn't get heself into trouble."
"Well lets head back and hope Rei meet us back at the net. " Mina
suggested.
"Oh yeah." Serena said. " We still have a game to play." the group gave
her a weird look.
Mina let out a growl. " I totally forgot. That STUPID yoma destroyed my
ball! I just bought it too. Why is life so cruel!"
"Well I guess that means I won." Serena beamed. Darien bowed his head in
defeat, and wonder what his fate would be.
*******************************************************
Else where on the beach, the generals had just transported there.
Jedite soon became aware of something clinging to around his neck from the
back. "Gah! Get it off. What's on me?!" Reaching up he felt two gloved
hands, and blinked.
Malichite," It would appear Sailor Mars followed you."
Sailor Mars released her hold on Jedite and looked around to realize the
other sailors were no where in sight. * Great... Not only did I get
transported with the generals; But I'm totally alone with them. Even
better!*
Jedite rubbed the side of his neck." So...what do you want?"
Upon the stupid question, Mars whipped out those 'paper thingys' Lita had
been talking about. "What do you think!"
Jedite now sweating reconizing the paper thingys," Oh yeah..answers huh."
^_^` "You know you probably have a lot of questions... maybe a-"
Mars cut him off. " Do you know who we are?! Do you remember who we are?"
All the while her paper scrolls still readied in her hand.
Jedite paused a moment to consider if he should just lie, then gave
in."Yes."
Mars tense a little more. She had almost hoped he say no. Sigh *At least
he's being honest.* "Then why not attack us before? Why are you helping
us? WHO are all of you? How come your not chi-"
Malchite step forward. "Listen, I know you have many questions. But You
can get your answers later from Jedite."
Jedite didn't like this idea. "Wait! Why me!"
"You know her, and where she lives. Just easier." Malchite said.
" Fine. So when do you want to meet." Jedite asked Mars.
"Later tonight... around 9:30. You remember the temple?" Mars waited till
he nodded then continued. " Meet me at the top of the stairs, by the tree
to the right of them. Got it?!"
"um..sure. No problem." Jedite said. "Can I go now?"
"Fine." Mars said as she started to take off in the way of the Volley ball
net. Then stopped ," Remember no fun-" She turned around to see them
already gone. " Well that's a relief then... at least I can change back."
With that she powered down, and continued walking back.
*********************************************************
Back at the net:
The girls, except Rei, and Darien were walking back to the net, and found
the guys were already there.
"So were did you guys go." Mina asked.
Making up a cover story, Kevin said, " I was going to ask you the same
thing. We thought you were all running way from the scene...but didn't see
you and came back here to see if you were here." * That should work.*
Mina," Well Lita and I went to help, while the rest went somewhere safe.
After Ken showed up we left and met up with the rest."
Jed was looking around. "Hey where is Rei?" * I thought she would have met
back up with them.* His question was soon answered.
"Right here!" Rei was walking up to the group. " Got lost in the crowd."
Jed only smiled slightly. *Sure you did.* His smile soon turned to a frown
as he noticed something. "Rei, are you ok."
Rei looks confused, then looked where he's looking, her left arm. There
was a cut on her upper arm and it bleeding a bit. Looking back up," Oh
yeah it's just a cut."
Jed came closer to look at it. " Yeah, but it should still be cover up."
Rei smiled, "Fine." At that Rei took the purple badana out of her hair.
Then tryed to tie it around the cut, only to have it snatched away by Jed.
Jed, "Here let me." He said looking at her arm as he gently tied it. Rei
slightly blushed at this. When it was done Rei thanked him.
Zack looked at the sun as it started to set. "I guess we should head
back."
"Yeah." Mina replied." The last bus will be coming soon." The group
started to walk up.
"We'll walk you to the bus stop and stay till it comes." Kevin said.
Jed, "Too bad we didn't finish the game. Guess will never know who won the
game."
"Oh?" Rei said with a sly look. "If I remember right, we were in the lead.
So we won."
Jed," What then I want a rematch, there was interference." Rei just
laughed.
When she was done Rei asked," Hey, did you want to meet me for breakfast
tomorrow?"
Jed was suprised," Yeah, sure." He said nervously.
"Great." Rei said," So did you want to ride home with me so I can show you
where I live or I can give you directions?"
*If I say no, and tell her I already know where she lives she'll know. And
this way I get to see her more so..* "I'll just ride home with you, makes
it easier." Jed said as the arrived at the bus stop.
Ken noticed Lita looked really tired. * If Jupiter is Lita she would be
tired. And when did Lita get that a green tank top?* "Hey Lita we have
room in the car, since Jed won't be coming with us. Do you want a ride?"
Lita, meanwhile was off in her own thoughts. *UGH! Tired...wanna be home.
Stupid bus trip will take forever. Wait... what.. a ride.* Lita looked at
Ken, then the approching bus. The Ken again, "Yeah I think I'll take you
up on your offer." *Yawn* " Beats taking the bus home."
The other started to get on the bus, but Ami and Serena came up to Lita
before leaving. " Try and get some rest tonight and change the bandages.
Don't do any serious moving around, I don't want you to reopen anything
that's already been healed." Ami said in a quiet voice.
Lita smiled, " Yes doc."
"Really Lita," Serena said concerned."I don't want you to hurt yourself
worse."
Lita's eyes soften. "Don't worry Serena. I'll take care off my self." And
gave her a big smile.
Serena smiled back, " Ok I'll come check on you tomorrow morning." And
with that they went their seprate ways.
**********************************
In the car:
Kevin was driving with Zack in the passenger seat up front. Lita and Ken
had the back.
Ken, " Lita, you feeling alright."
Lita, "Yeah, just a bit tired."
Ken, "When did you hurt your leg?" Lita looked down at her lower right leg
where there was a small cut.
Lita sighed, " Must have happened when Mina and I went to attack the yoma.
It's nothing bad.
Kevin, " Sorry to interupt, but where do you live?"
Lita, " Oh just drop me off where Ken lives. I live around there."
They soon came upon the area where Ken lived. Kevin, " Well here we are.
Hope to see you and your friends again, Lita."
"Yeah, thanks for the ride. See yah." Lita said. Lita waited till the car
rounded the corner, then turned to Ken. Smiling, "Who would have thought I
bump into you again so soon."
"Yeah, strange huh." Ken said. Then asked, "Can I walk you home. I just
want to make sure you get there, you looked like you were going to fall
asleep in the car."
Lita blinked, "Yeah, if you want to." They began walking.
After a bit of silence. "Looks like you got a lot of friends."
"Just them, and you." Lita said smiling while looking forward. Her eyes
softened. "I don't know if I would have met any of them, if it weren't for
Serena. When I first transfered to Juban High, no one would come up to me
because of my rep. But she just came right up to me at lunch. *laughs* She
liked my cooking."
Ken just look at Lita curiously. "She means a lot to you huh?"
Lita,"...Yeah she does. She made me feel like I fit in." Turning to Ken
with a said smile. " I was so lonely when I had to transfer, she helped
with that." Ken looked ahead thinking, then stopped when she continued,
"Not that your not important to me. You are.. you were my first friend,
someone who stuck by me."
Ken looked at her smiling. " I know. Your very important to me too." They
just paused there staring at eachother. Then both looked away.
*When he said that...why did I get all flustered. He just my friend.
Relax.* Lita noticed they were outside of her apartment building. Looking
up, "Well guess were here." Looking at Ken. "Guess I'll see you later." It
was then that her body chose to protest her standing anymore, and Lita put
her hand on her side in pain.
Ken,"Lita?" Lita just sat down on the stairs leading into the apartment.
Ken looked at on of the sides to the green tank where blood was soaking
through. *She has to be her.* " So is that another wound you got during
the fight?!"
Lita didn't know what to say. But only nodded.
Sigh,"Why didn't you tell me. Did you rap it?"Ken asked coming to sit by
her on the steps.
Lita looked at the blood on the tank. "Yeah but I think it need to be
rapped again. It's nothing big." Lita reached up to the rail and pulled
herself up. "Looking at Ken. "Don't worry." Then a wave a dizziness struck
as she gripped the rail for support. She soon found Ken steading her.
"Of course I'm worried." Sigh "Let me help you up to your apartment." She
gave in with a nod. He place one of her arms over his shoulder and an arm
under hers. Together they walked inside and went to her apartment. When
they got inside her apartment Ken walked her over to the couch.
Lita sat there a moment before getting up agian. Ken looked at her with
question. "I'll be right back. I'm just going to change that bandage."
With that she left.
Moments later she returned from the bathroom looking very tired. Ken, "
Well how is it?"
" It'll be fine, just needs to heal." she said sitting next to him. "
Thanks for walking me home. It might have been bad had you not." She said
smiling. "And thanks for coming to my recue today."
Ken blushed a bit. "Yeah, just like old times."
"yeah.."
It was slighlent for a bit. * I want to know. Heck I know, she has to be
Jupiter with those wounds. I want to tell her, but how will she react.*
"Hey Lita.."
After no response he turned to look at her, o find her dead alseep. He
sighed. "Well maybe next time." He said smiling. He scooped her up and
took her to her bed, where he tucked her in. Ken was about to leave her
room when he pause in the door frame, and look back at Lita sleeping in
the bed. A worried look across his face. He then pulled a chair where he
sat and tryed to get comfertable for the night.
