Wow, a whole two reviews *huggles*
burakkichu: Lot's of detail y'all prolly don't want to know ^__^;;;;;;;; Yup.
Dark-Koomrie: Of course ;) I'll try to update at least once a week. I was just a bit late this week.
Raven looked around her in ill concealed unease. She didn't like that they were suddenly in the middle of some city at night. Wisps of stray fog rolled around obscuring building and lampposts shone out dully.
"Looks like we're not in Kansas anymore," she said as she looked around.
"Smart ass." Kite muttered catching the pun. Having moved to Kansas at the beginning of the summer she was starting to resent that saying. And the Wizard of Oz. Who liked that story anyway? She thought to herself as she peeled her body off the hard, unforgiving pavement. Her rear hurt horribly and she had debris stuck in her palms where she had put them out to catch herself.
Raven looked around and saw Storm looking at something intently. The fluffy cat switched her tail not the least bit unnerved that they were in some weird place. Raven slowly walked toward her cat and found various items that came with them through the TV. Most importantly were their gym bags.
Kite rubbed her sore rump gently and crawled over careful not to scrape her hands even more, "Oh yeah, I forgot I grabbed our gym bags as you dragged me through."
"Well finally you did something smart," replied Raven picking up her bag, laughing at a very pissed off Kite. Kite punched her in the shoulder and immediately swore and nursed her sore knuckles.
"Ouch." She mumbled as spit coated them and Shadow's tongue followed up. She shoved the dog away.
"I wish I took that shower," Raven said smelling a little potent. She tried to peel her gym shirt from her skin and it made a sticky noise. "Let's find some place to clean up. You know how much I hate to smell."
"No kidding. I think I might just pass out from the smell of you." Kite joked and then spotted something very odd. Well, heard was more like it. She poked her friend and asked worriedly sounding suspiciously freaked out, "Is that normal?"
What she was pointing to was a group of girls in brightly colored, skimpy skirts facing off against some monster. There seemed to be a lot of banter going on between them. A lot of noisy banter. Kite wondered how the people in the area were still asleep. Then she shrugged, well; maybe they were dead or something.
"What the hel-" Raven's words got cut off when Storm jumped in front of her hissing. "I don't think monsters are real dumbass. Are we...? Could we...No it can't be?" She lost all her words when realization struck. They were in the TV.
"We're in Sailor Moon..." Kite trailed off her violet eyes wide as she unknowingly echoed Raven's thoughts. Then a dark look passed over her face, "Of all the animes we have to get stuck in Sailor Moon. Dang."
"I have to get a closer look at this! Come on," Raven pulled at Kite's work out shirt and moved in to get a closer look. Kite dug her heels in stubbornly, "Nah-uh. We could be killed! What if this really is real? We don't have special powers and sure as hell don't have any luck. We'd be fried! And I don't like chicken."
"So? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! We'll just get a better view of the action." Raven left Kite and made her way down to the action, adrenaline filling her veins. She leaned forward drinking in the scene. This was just great! Raven called to her friend over her shoulder, "I don't care if you come or not."
Kite hesitantly followed with Shadow dogging her heels. Despite her caution she was curious.
Raven found a spot about 50 feet away from the scout's battle with the monster. This is perfect cover, she thought as Kite came to her side.
"Finally," Raven whispered to her friend, "took you long enough."
"You're crazy." The silver haired girl told her friend flatly and peered from their hiding spot.
She laughed softly, "I know, but that's that makes us friends"
Kite blinked and laughed scornfully. " I forgot that they say such stupid stuff in the show. You'd think they could come up with something less cliché."
Raven peered out from under her jet-black bangs. The monster had all the Sailor Scouts trapped and bound with ropes. Curiously mundane. Why bother tying the girls up?
"Kill them all," an evil spark showed in her blue eyes. She tossed her long black hair over her shoulders, wishing now she never took out her hair from the hair tie.
"Hey, no killing." Kite muttered sullenly. She delicately picked a shard of glass from her palm and glared at her friend warningly, "This isn't the real world! You can't just prance out there and declare that you plan to kill them. So I hope you were egging the monster on. Although," A brief, evil grin flashed across her features, "I wouldn't mind the death of one small, pink haired annoyance."
Raven chuckled, "Ok, we'll find out if we can be hurt."
She took the small, sharp glass shard from her friend's hand and sliced the back of her hand. She swore as blood started leaking out in a steady stream. She brought her cut hand to her lips and tried to nurse it. "Well, I have no idea on how to get back home and there is no way I'm going to be a slave to a monster. Do you want to help out the scouts? Especially with the knowledge that we have on their real identities we can always come back for them." The evil smirk returned to her lips.
"Serves you right." Kite laughed as the cut bled freely. Maybe her friend would heed her warnings. She shook her head at the likelihood of that and agreed out loud with Raven's tentative plan, "Maybe we should help them out. Hey, we know all about them! Blackmail! Too much about them actually."
"Good. You got where I was going. See that alley behind the scouts? We can use that as cover to save them."
They both hurried trying to be as silent and small as possible they made their way to the spot Raven pointed to. Kite did her best not to stumble wondering if they were making a huge mistake.
Raven dropped her lumpy gym bag on the ground. She dug around intently before pulling out her prize. Carefully she handed a switch bade to Kite and keeping one for herself. "What are you doing with those?" Kite asked bewildered. She held the knife like it was planning to bite her. A speculative gleam entered her violet eyes, "That's why your pack was heavier than mine. Yeah well there are perverts at the gym..." Kite trailed off having answered her own unspoken question.
Raven pointed to Sailor Venus, the longhaired blonde completely unaware of their presence. "You cut her ropes and I'll get Jupiter. Once those two are free we can get the others." Kite could see why she chose those two first. Not only where they closest, but they could quite possibly do the most damage in the shortest amount of time.
Raven and Kite had reached their intended targets and were attempting to free them without hacking their hands off in the process. Something made Raven look up just in time to see Sailor Pluto come flying through the air. Her long black hair was swirling in some non-existent breeze and her face was set in an uncharacteristic rage-filled expression. Apparently someone was unhappy.
The monster, gloating as usual, whirled to face this new threat. It chuckled evilly seeing one lone opposition. She didn't budge or look anything other than murderous. Her normally melancholy face was hard as flint. Raising her weapon she was about to use a move that could quite possibly kill her. The last time she had attempted it she barely scrapped by with her life. For weeks afterwards living was nothing by torture even with the aid received by the moon crystal.
Raven, recognizing the attack, looked at Sailor Moon. The blonde ditz was dazed and confused to say the least. She was in no shape to revive anyone. Raven stopped her efforts to loose Jupiter and stared. Pluto was knowingly giving up her life to save those of her friends. Somewhere deep inside her it struck a cord that was neither sarcastic nor scornful. Within seconds she had made up her mind.
Raven looked up at the sky and got a glimpse of the almost full moon coming out from around the thin, flat clouds. Faint tendrils of moonlight made their way down towards earth. Perfectly aware of how ironic this was becoming she flashed her blade around hoping to gain Pluto's attention. She also prayed that the monster, with it's back to them, wouldn't see the signal.
The older woman's eyes widened, as did Kite's as she realized what her friend was doing, and Pluto gave a slight, almost invisible nod. Instead of using her time attack she sped at the monster prepared for hand-to-hand combat.
She knew that she now only had to stall the monster while they freed the scouts not sacrifice her life.
The monster met the woman's charge and almost with impeccable ease he backhanded her sending the scout tumbling. She picked herself up but then it was painfully obvious she was in for some serious pain. The monster easily kicked her again in the side with its clawed feet.
Kite flicked the knife unsurely watching as some unspoken agreement passed between her friend and the tall woman. She reached down to pat Shadow for reassurance. Then felt around in alarm surprised not to find him. Glancing away from the battlefield she looked around wildly for the little black dog.
She spotted him racing toward the monster sleek and for once very silent. Usually when he chased or attacked intruders he gave full cry to his hound heritage. Her heart clinched up and she sucked in her breath too fast. This wasn't happening. Danger to herself she could accept, but her poor dog... that was different. The dog had a typical little dog complex. He had absolutely no idea that he was just shy of twenty-five pounds.
"Oh no. Raven!" She yelped just a little too loudly and grabbed her friend's upper arm unknowly marking it with bruises where her fingers dug in to the soft flesh, "Look what Shadow's doing!"
Raven jerked her head up towards the dog. To her shock and consternation she saw that Storm, aloof, selfish Storm was charging in from the other side. The cat streaked along in a deadly sprint. Sneaking a peek at her friend's face she saw naked fear. Just as the pets were about to converge on the monster a flash of bright light whipped out from the Imperial Crystal. She saw her beloved Storm become a sleek black panther. The now large carnivore blended easily with the deep shadows and almost subconsciously sunk into them.
Well, that's new! Raven thought and grinned pleased with the new development. No more Storm sitting on my lap.
Kite heard herself gasp and pressed her fingernails into the soft skin of her palms. Instead of Shadow the friendly, vertically challenged mutt there was a shaggy black wolf that would easily come up past her waist. The large canine lunged at the monster sinking his fangs into the creature's thick shoulder and distracted it from the downed Sailor Scout.
That's when Storm took her cue and placed her now very sharp teeth on the monster's side.
By then the two girls had finally managed to free Venus and Jupiter. The Sailor Scouts were looking at them oddly when Kite yelled, "Get your butts over there and do your job!"
That seemed to motivate them, but not exactly in the way the silver haired girl had intended.
"Why you little..." Jupiter growled bunching her fist until the knuckled turned an unhealthy shade of white. Venus also looked less than pleased.
Raven, unamused and annoyed by their lack of gratitude flicked her knife at them as a combination warning and reminder of just who helped them get free. "Help Pluto, we will free the rest."
Seeing the steely gleam in the other girl's electric blue eyes they backed down slightly and nodded consent. Without a backwards glance they dashed at the monster unleashing their respective attacks at the creature. Only Kite noticed that they were extremely careful not to hit the two large carnivores.
Not able to look at the battle any longer when Shadow could be getting hurt she turned her attention to the next Scout. This just happened to be Uranus. Kite fumbled with the knot and cursed her bad luck. The other woman squirmed eager to be free of the ropes. Pulling the blade out she sliced the coarse fiber being careful not to cut flesh. She had a good idea of what might happen if she 'accidentally' cut the older woman. It involved quite a bit of pain. Instead of a thank you the scout bounded up in a fury and flung herself into the fray.
"Damn it." Kite growled fumbling with another knot. Her sore fingers were now bleeding sluggishly and the blood was making the ropes beneath her fingers slick. She tried to keep track of all the attacks with her other senses, but everything was happening too fast.
Some sixth sense made her jerk her head up in time to see a rather sizable chunk of concrete flying towards her face in a decidedly unfriendly manner. She started to raise her hands to shield her head but it was too late.
Raven turned in time to see her friend be knocked out cold by a flying chunk of ground. She swore under her breath hoping it wasn't as bad as the cracking sound lead her to believe. She swiftly ran over to her friend making sure she was still alive. Good. A steady pulse, but faint, she thought to herself. Adjusting Kite's body into a more comfortable position she turned back to her self appointed task.
With a heavy sigh she freed the rest of the Sailor Scouts. One by one -- which was a hard task for one person. She had to slice the ropes quickly, and accidentally sliced Sailor Mars' hand. It wasn't deep but the fiery tempered girl managed a rather unlady-like cuss word before, once again leaping into the action without so much as a thank you.
What a bitch! Raven thought to herself suddenly remembering why she didn't like Mars as a character. Finally, two scouts left. Raven let an audible heavy sigh escape her and shrugged her slim shoulders. Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon. She wished to keep them tied up for her own pleasure, but that wasn't a good way to make friends. Friends that she and Kite definitely needed in this TV land!
She went and loosed them. And unfortunately she caused no nicks by her blade. Damn, she thought violently, I'm getting too good at cutting ropes.
All the scouts were free; Raven grabbed her friend, and slung the heavy dead weight body over her shoulders. Now I'm glad we didn't have that popcorn she said groaning under her friend's weight. With somewhat strained strides she paced to ground zero. She hadn't been paying attention to the battle and was anxious for Storm and Shadow.
It took a second to spotted the two black animals hovering in the darkness waiting for an opportunity to pounce. Moonlight gleamed off the nocturnal animal's glassy eyes causing an eerie green glow. Raven shivered a little although she wasn't sure if it was a tinge of fear at such marvelous animals or, well, sadistic pride. The two were at her command, something she wouldn't waste lightly.
She heard Sailor Saturn's voice prod their ever-whiney leader, "Quickly Sailor Moon"
Sailor Moon nodded hastily and pulled out her scepter.
"Right" taking her cue off Saturn.
Where did she pull that scepter from, Raven thought randomly, her ass? She wished that Kite could be awake to see this. She was silently wishing for the monster to attack while Sailor moon was powering up. Why didn't they? The dumb super hero was a sitting duck while she stood there drawing power from TV God knows where.
Sailor Mini Moon took her cue from her mother and both in unison prepared to vanquish the monster completely.
Seeing their attacks a hundred or so times on the TV. Raven ran up to Storm and Shadow to make sure that they were unharmed. The two greeted her enthusiastically. A little too much so. She was jostled by the much bigger forms trying to pat Storms rounded head.
In doing so she missed their grand finally and the monster turned into dust. No big lose; she consoled herself really wishing that she had seen it up close with her full attention.
The big wolf, having assured her of his health, brushed past her and whined anxiously at Kite's prone form.
Kite made a small groan and tried to push Shadow's face away from hers. She even mumbled a few choice words at the worried pooch. Good, she's coming to, Raven thought.
Raven looked at the scouts who were holding each other up. Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus said something to Sailor Moon. It was inaudible to Raven, which annoyed her. They leaped off into the night. Still no thank you.
I knew I hated them for some reason Raven muttered, as she walked towards the scouts knowing full well that Kite was in capable *paws* with Shadow watching over her. Storm refused to leave her side as she approached them. The large panther was a comforting presence, not to mention a great attention getter.
"Sailor Mercury" Raven called out searching for the blue hair girl. The scout turned around and gave her an open smile.
"Thanks for saving us, you didn't have to you know." She said sounding utterly sincere. Raven rolled her eyes slightly and mouthed something about arrogant scouts.
"Can you run a diagnostic on my friend? She got hit in the head while trying to save you."
Sailor Mercury pulled out her little computer from who knows where and walked over to Kite typing on all different buttons. Small clicking sounds accompanied her as she tapped some more buttons. Her large, blue eyes scanned the data on the screen intently. As she knelt in front of Kite, Shadow let out a large snarl warning Sailor Mercury to back off. Even a Sailor Scout knew better than to mess with that large an animal when there was nothing between them. Mercury stiffened and tried to edge back fearfully.
"Shadow." Raven snapped, "Be nice, she's trying to help"
Mercury, having been assured of her safety, ignored the large wolf that eyed her with narrowed golden eyes. His body shielded his mistress and his hackles remained raised.
Kite groaned again, hearing this annoying little beeping noise in her ear. She swung her fist out blindly and was surprised to find that connected with something solid. There was a clatter of metal. Abruptly she sat up, or tried to.
The world swam before her making funny little waves of gray in her vision. Then there was this warm sensation on her face.
Opening her eyes fully she bit back a scream. Twin yellow eyes were staring down at her from a long, black muzzle. A bit of white coated the canine's chin and a bit of a tooth hung from under the tight lips.
"Holy socks!" She yelped automatically toning down her cuss word and threw herself back only to hit a brick wall. The wolf whined and tried to press itself closer to her. She gulped and scrambled to the side running over the downed Mercury in the process. She didn't even notice.
"Eat her, not me!" The silver haired girl screeched terrified and she shoved the first thing that came to hand at the large carnivore: Mini Moon.
The pink clothed brat squalled and flailed out of her grasp fleeing behind Sailor Moon for protection.
Raven looked down utterly amused.
"That's Shadow you know." She commented dryly. "I guess you got knocked on the head a bit too hard.
"Shadow?" The wolf wagged his tail in a friendly manner Of course it's me.
Kite belted out a lung busting screamed making everyone around her cover his or her ears, "You talked to me!"
Mercury, fully recovered from the incident, finished up on her computer. She turned to Raven studiously ignoring Kite. She spoke softy informing the black haired girl that Kite was just fine. Well, except for the obvious. And that she might have a slight headache for a few hours. With that she subconsciously raise her fingers and lightly brushed her temple. It looked like Kite wouldn't be the only one with a headache.
She might have a slight headache for a few hours, but she should recover just fine. Mercury rubbed her temple lightly with two fingers. It seemed like Kite wasn't the only one with a headache.
Raven gave Kite a quizzical look only half way listening to Mercury. "What do you mean he can talk to you?" She frowned wondering if maybe her friend was really hurt.
Just then, We can now communicate with each other. the sleek looking Storm informed her.
That it I'm insane she thought. I've been cut and I bleed in a TV. show, I saved the scout's world, and my cat talks to me. Great just freaking great!
Sailor Saturn took this time to vanish. The rest of the Sailor Scouts took their cue from Sailor Saturn. They left leaving the two really shocked and confused girls with Sailor Pluto. Still no thank you.
"How did you know?" She asked seeing nothing, but sadness in her eyes. She eyed their rather torn gym clothes and baffled expressions. "You are not from this time or world are you?"
"Not exactly." Raven admitted and told her the entire story leaving certain bits out. "This must be fate that you came here to help me in my time of need. If there is anything you need or want I shall grant it." The Sailor Scout turned to leave.
"Well," Raven drawled having the most devious smile on her face. "Anything?"
"Anything I can give." Replied the tired Sailor Scout.
This time the smile was just a tad twisted. "Well, show us how to use the power of the time." Raven demanded
Kite's mouth dropped open in a rather unflattering way.
"That I cannot give. No one may use this technique unless they fathom death." Pluto started bluntly.
"Cut the bull crap. We are not from this time or this world, and we should be extremely safe. Besides, you would be dead as a doornail if it wasn't for us." The look of pure evil came across Raven's face, and Pluto had finally seen death in the face and could do nothing to stop it.
"Death..." Kite echoed solemnly ignoring Raven's outbursts and wicked smiles. She was cautious of the limits. Ones they didn't know about. Not particularly a gambler this screamed at her to be careful. Or better yet leave it alone.
"Show me the power. Teach us. You are bound by your word at gate keeper to uphold the oath." Pluto, seeing that she was powerless to stop her, obliged with a stony face. Apparently being blackmailed by a young twenty or so year old wasn't something she enjoyed.
Kite tuned out uninterested. She riffled through her gym bag and stopped when her fingers brushed up again a strange object. Touching the light plastic she dragged the object out, as well as a bag of slightly crushed chips. It was the TV remote. Opening the chips she slipped her fingers in hoping to be able to ignore her pounding headache. The grease lubricated her fingertips, which she promptly applied to the remote.
Pluto spent many hours teaching them, well actually Raven, the technique that would allow them to slip through time and space and to make it come to a standstill.
The whole while Raven lost track that her friend was not with them. Raven was drunk on the power Pluto wielded. This was something she could use.
Kite wondered how the remote would affect them now. Shadow leaned up against her side with his massive head. He licked her fingers then his chops as she slipped him a lays.
She scratched his ears marveling at how they stood up perked. He leaned into the scratch affectionately. She felt completely safe with him. She hoped Raven was having fun. Storm perched above them dozing.
Hmm, wonder what this button combination does? She thought flicking a few numbers then enter. As soon as her finger pushed down she knew she had made a mistake...
And then she was in a very embarrassing place.
"Um, sorry!" She blurted out turning away to scrub her caustic, watering eyes. She wondered if she would ever see right again.
"How the hell did you get in here?" Amara yelled in a gruff voice. The older Sailor Scout, wearing nothing but her birthday suit, was clearly intending some serious harm on Kite's person. Kite yipped in fear and scrambled across the bed to take refuge behind Michelle her face burning to the ear tips. This was definitely one place she didn't want to be. Ever.
Vaguely she was aware of the candles and rose petal, which only fueled her intense desire to bolt out of there. The remote was clutched in death grip in her hand and she suddenly wished she were still holding the switchblade.
"Accident, promise!" She shoved a lock of silver hair out of her face and dodged a fist. It whistled past her face making her fall back tripping over some discarded clothes. She landed on her sore rump with a painful thump.
"Amara," Her green haired lover said in a slightly chiding tone, never mind that she was buck naked in front of a complete stranger, "Stop. She said it was an accident."
"I honestly have no idea what happened!" Kite protested her innocence then looked down at the remote, which was blinking with a small green light. She scowled at it, suddenly having a very clear idea of how she got there. I have the worst luck, she thought to herself still adverting her eyes from the two women.
Without a word she pushed the flashback button and found herself once again outside in the gray, overcast night. Shadow licked her frantically. Happy that she had returned after such an abrupt disappearance
Meanwhile, Raven was rapidly getting the hang on her new powers. She was disappointed to find that she was restricted to the Sailor Moon World. Bummer, she thought.
She was moving so quickly she left Sailor Pluto behind and explored the era herself. Finally mastering the technique she joined her friend back in the 'real world'
"What a rush!" Raven's blue eyes sparkled liked crystals filled with a rush of power.
She looked at her friend. "Feeling better?" She asked Kite.
Kite gave her a horrified look her face still pale, "You'll never believe what just happened to me!"
Kite told Raven the story of being able to manipulate the remote. Raven laughed wickedly and remarked something about lemons in real life. Kite blushed angrily and tossed a small rock at her, "Well I guess we all got new powers, now to have some fun with the stupid mortals that are ungrateful for our help."
Kite gave her a startled look and all Raven could do was laugh. It wasn't a nice sound.
"Now I need a shower and some new clothes. Let's find the best hotel in Tokyo and have ourselves some fun." She helped Kite to her feet and walked to the first expensive hotel she saw.
Kite followed her curling her fingers in Shadow's ruff unconsciously, "Some how, I don't like the way you said that." She muttered at her friend's back.

"Kill them all," an evil spark showed in her blue eyes. She tossed her long black hair over her shoulders, wishing now she never took out her hair from the hair tie.
"Hey, no killing." Kite muttered sullenly. She delicately picked a shard of glass from her palm and glared at her friend warningly, "This isn't the real world! You can't just prance out there and declare that you plan to kill them. So I hope you were egging the monster on. Although," A brief, evil grin flashed across her features, "I wouldn't mind the death of one small, pink haired annoyance."

Raven stopped her efforts to loose Jupiter and stared. Pluto was knowingly giving up her life to save those of her friends. Somewhere deep inside her it struck a cord that was neither sarcastic nor scornful. Within seconds she had made up her mind.
Raven looked up at the sky and got a glimpse of the almost full moon coming out from around the thin, flat clouds. Faint tendrils of moonlight made their way down towards earth. Perfectly aware of how ironic this was becoming she flashed her blade around hoping to gain Pluto's attention. She also prayed that the monster, with it's back to them, wouldn't see the signal.
The older woman's eyes widened, as did Kite's as she realized what her friend was doing, and Pluto gave a slight, almost invisible nod. Instead of using her time attack she sped at the monster prepared for hand-to-hand combat.
She knew that she now only had to stall the monster while they freed the scouts not sacrifice her life.
The monster met the woman's charge and almost with impeccable ease he backhanded her sending the scout tumbling. She picked herself up but then it was painfully obvious she was in for some serious pain. The monster easily kicked her again in the side with its clawed feet.
Kite flicked the knife unsurely watching as some unspoken agreement passed between her friend and the tall woman. She reached down to pat Shadow for reassurance. Then felt around in alarm surprised not to find him. Glancing away from the battlefield she looked around wildly for the little black dog.
She spotted him racing toward the monster sleek and for once very silent. Usually when he chased or attacked intruders he gave full cry to his hound heritage. Her heart clinched up and she sucked in her breath too fast. This wasn't happening. Danger to herself she could accept, but her poor dog... that was different. The dog had a typical little dog complex. He had absolutely no idea that he was just shy of twenty-five pounds.
"Oh no. Raven!" She yelped just a little too loudly and grabbed her friend's upper arm unknowly marking it with bruises where her fingers dug in to the soft flesh, "Look what Shadow's doing!"
Raven jerked her head up towards the dog. To her shock and consternation she saw that Storm, aloof, selfish Storm was charging in from the other side. The cat streaked along in a deadly sprint. Sneaking a peek at her friend's face she saw naked fear. Just as the pets were about to converge on the monster a flash of bright light whipped out from the Imperial Crystal. She saw her beloved Storm become a sleek black panther. The now large carnivore blended easily with the deep shadows and almost subconsciously sunk into them.
Well, that's new! Raven thought and grinned pleased with the new development. No more Storm sitting on my lap.
Kite heard herself gasp and pressed her fingernails into the soft skin of her palms. Instead of Shadow the friendly, vertically challenged mutt there was a shaggy black wolf that would easily come up past her waist. The large canine lunged at the monster sinking his fangs into the creature's thick shoulder and distracted it from the downed Sailor Scout.
That's when Storm took her cue and placed her now very sharp teeth on the monster's side.
By then the two girls had finally managed to free Venus and Jupiter. The Sailor Scouts were looking at them oddly when Kite yelled, "Get your butts over there and do your job!"
That seemed to motivate them, but not exactly in the way the silver haired girl had intended.
"Why you little..." Jupiter growled bunching her fist until the knuckled turned an unhealthy shade of white. Venus also looked less than pleased.
Raven, unamused and annoyed by their lack of gratitude flicked her knife at them as a combination warning and reminder of just who helped them get free. "Help Pluto, we will free the rest."
Seeing the steely gleam in the other girl's electric blue eyes they backed down slightly and nodded consent. Without a backwards glance they dashed at the monster unleashing their respective attacks at the creature. Only Kite noticed that they were extremely careful not to hit the two large carnivores.
Not able to look at the battle any longer when Shadow could be getting hurt she turned her attention to the next Scout. This just happened to be Uranus. Kite fumbled with the knot and cursed her bad luck. The other woman squirmed eager to be free of the ropes. Pulling the blade out she sliced the coarse fiber being careful not to cut flesh. She had a good idea of what might happen if she 'accidentally' cut the older woman. It involved quite a bit of pain. Instead of a thank you the scout bounded up in a fury and flung herself into the fray.
"Damn it." Kite growled fumbling with another knot. Her sore fingers were now bleeding sluggishly and the blood was making the ropes beneath her fingers slick. She tried to keep track of all the attacks with her other senses, but everything was happening too fast.
Some sixth sense made her jerk her head up in time to see a rather sizable chunk of concrete flying towards her face in a decidedly unfriendly manner. She started to raise her hands to shield her head but it was too late.
Raven turned in time to see her friend be knocked out cold by a flying chunk of ground. She swore under her breath hoping it wasn't as bad as the cracking sound lead her to believe. She swiftly ran over to her friend making sure she was still alive. Good. A steady pulse, but faint, she thought to herself. Adjusting Kite's body into a more comfortable position she turned back to her self appointed task.
With a heavy sigh she freed the rest of the Sailor Scouts. One by one -- which was a hard task for one person. She had to slice the ropes quickly, and accidentally sliced Sailor Mars' hand. It wasn't deep but the fiery tempered girl managed a rather unlady-like cuss word before, once again leaping into the action without so much as a thank you.
What a bitch! Raven thought to herself suddenly remembering why she didn't like Mars as a character. Finally, two scouts left. Raven let an audible heavy sigh escape her and shrugged her slim shoulders. Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon. She wished to keep them tied up for her own pleasure, but that wasn't a good way to make friends. Friends that she and Kite definitely needed in this TV land!
She went and loosed them. And unfortunately she caused no nicks by her blade. Damn, she thought violently, I'm getting too good at cutting ropes.
All the scouts were free; Raven grabbed her friend, and slung the heavy dead weight body over her shoulders. Now I'm glad we didn't have that popcorn she said groaning under her friend's weight. With somewhat strained strides she paced to ground zero. She hadn't been paying attention to the battle and was anxious for Storm and Shadow.
It took a second to spotted the two black animals hovering in the darkness waiting for an opportunity to pounce. Moonlight gleamed off the nocturnal animal's glassy eyes causing an eerie green glow. Raven shivered a little although she wasn't sure if it was a tinge of fear at such marvelous animals or, well, sadistic pride. The two were at her command, something she wouldn't waste lightly.
She heard Sailor Saturn's voice prod their ever-whiney leader, "Quickly Sailor Moon"
Sailor Moon nodded hastily and pulled out her scepter.
"Right" taking her cue off Saturn.
Where did she pull that scepter from, Raven thought randomly, her ass? She wished that Kite could be awake to see this. She was silently wishing for the monster to attack while Sailor moon was powering up. Why didn't they? The dumb super hero was a sitting duck while she stood there drawing power from TV God knows where.
Sailor Mini Moon took her cue from her mother and both in unison prepared to vanquish the monster completely.
Seeing their attacks a hundred or so times on the TV. Raven ran up to Storm and Shadow to make sure that they were unharmed. The two greeted her enthusiastically. A little too much so. She was jostled by the much bigger forms trying to pat Storms rounded head.
In doing so she missed their grand finally and the monster turned into dust. No big lose; she consoled herself really wishing that she had seen it up close with her full attention.
The big wolf, having assured her of his health, brushed past her and whined anxiously at Kite's prone form.
Kite made a small groan and tried to push Shadow's face away from hers. She even mumbled a few choice words at the worried pooch. Good, she's coming to, Raven thought.
Raven looked at the scouts who were holding each other up. Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus said something to Sailor Moon. It was inaudible to Raven, which annoyed her. They leaped off into the night. Still no thank you.
I knew I hated them for some reason Raven muttered, as she walked towards the scouts knowing full well that Kite was in capable *paws* with Shadow watching over her. Storm refused to leave her side as she approached them. The large panther was a comforting presence, not to mention a great attention getter.
"Sailor Mercury" Raven called out searching for the blue hair girl. The scout turned around and gave her an open smile.
"Thanks for saving us, you didn't have to you know." She said sounding utterly sincere. Raven rolled her eyes slightly and mouthed something about arrogant scouts.
"Can you run a diagnostic on my friend? She got hit in the head while trying to save you."
Sailor Mercury pulled out her little computer from who knows where and walked over to Kite typing on all different buttons. Small clicking sounds accompanied her as she tapped some more buttons. Her large, blue eyes scanned the data on the screen intently. As she knelt in front of Kite, Shadow let out a large snarl warning Sailor Mercury to back off. Even a Sailor Scout knew better than to mess with that large an animal when there was nothing between them. Mercury stiffened and tried to edge back fearfully.
"Shadow." Raven snapped, "Be nice, she's trying to help"
Mercury, having been assured of her safety, ignored the large wolf that eyed her with narrowed golden eyes. His body shielded his mistress and his hackles remained raised.
Kite groaned again, hearing this annoying little beeping noise in her ear. She swung her fist out blindly and was surprised to find that connected with something solid. There was a clatter of metal. Abruptly she sat up, or tried to.
The world swam before her making funny little waves of gray in her vision. Then there was this warm sensation on her face.
Opening her eyes fully she bit back a scream. Twin yellow eyes were staring down at her from a long, black muzzle. A bit of white coated the canine's chin and a bit of a tooth hung from under the tight lips.
"Holy socks!" She yelped automatically toning down her cuss word and threw herself back only to hit a brick wall. The wolf whined and tried to press itself closer to her. She gulped and scrambled to the side running over the downed Mercury in the process. She didn't even notice.
"Eat her, not me!" The silver haired girl screeched terrified and she shoved the first thing that came to hand at the large carnivore: Mini Moon.
The pink clothed brat squalled and flailed out of her grasp fleeing behind Sailor Moon for protection.
Raven looked down utterly amused.
"That's Shadow you know." She commented dryly. "I guess you got knocked on the head a bit too hard.
"Shadow?" The wolf wagged his tail in a friendly manner Of course it's me.
Kite belted out a lung busting screamed making everyone around her cover his or her ears, "You talked to me!"
Mercury, fully recovered from the incident, finished up on her computer. She turned to Raven studiously ignoring Kite. She spoke softy informing the black haired girl that Kite was just fine. Well, except for the obvious. And that she might have a slight headache for a few hours. With that she subconsciously raise her fingers and lightly brushed her temple. It looked like Kite wouldn't be the only one with a headache.
She might have a slight headache for a few hours, but she should recover just fine. Mercury rubbed her temple lightly with two fingers. It seemed like Kite wasn't the only one with a headache.
Raven gave Kite a quizzical look only half way listening to Mercury. "What do you mean he can talk to you?" She frowned wondering if maybe her friend was really hurt.
Just then, We can now communicate with each other. the sleek looking Storm informed her.
That it I'm insane she thought. I've been cut and I bleed in a TV. show, I saved the scout's world, and my cat talks to me. Great just freaking great!
Sailor Saturn took this time to vanish. The rest of the Sailor Scouts took their cue from Sailor Saturn. They left leaving the two really shocked and confused girls with Sailor Pluto. Still no thank you.
"How did you know?" She asked seeing nothing, but sadness in her eyes. She eyed their rather torn gym clothes and baffled expressions. "You are not from this time or world are you?"
"Not exactly." Raven admitted and told her the entire story leaving certain bits out. "This must be fate that you came here to help me in my time of need. If there is anything you need or want I shall grant it." The Sailor Scout turned to leave.
"Well," Raven drawled having the most devious smile on her face. "Anything?"
"Anything I can give." Replied the tired Sailor Scout.
This time the smile was just a tad twisted. "Well, show us how to use the power of the time." Raven demanded
Kite's mouth dropped open in a rather unflattering way.
"That I cannot give. No one may use this technique unless they fathom death." Pluto started bluntly.
"Cut the bull crap. We are not from this time or this world, and we should be extremely safe. Besides, you would be dead as a doornail if it wasn't for us." The look of pure evil came across Raven's face, and Pluto had finally seen death in the face and could do nothing to stop it.
"Death..." Kite echoed solemnly ignoring Raven's outbursts and wicked smiles. She was cautious of the limits. Ones they didn't know about. Not particularly a gambler this screamed at her to be careful. Or better yet leave it alone.
"Show me the power. Teach us. You are bound by your word at gate keeper to uphold the oath." Pluto, seeing that she was powerless to stop her, obliged with a stony face. Apparently being blackmailed by a young twenty or so year old wasn't something she enjoyed.
Kite tuned out uninterested. She riffled through her gym bag and stopped when her fingers brushed up again a strange object. Touching the light plastic she dragged the object out, as well as a bag of slightly crushed chips. It was the TV remote. Opening the chips she slipped her fingers in hoping to be able to ignore her pounding headache. The grease lubricated her fingertips, which she promptly applied to the remote.
Pluto spent many hours teaching them, well actually Raven, the technique that would allow them to slip through time and space and to make it come to a standstill.
The whole while Raven lost track that her friend was not with them. Raven was drunk on the power Pluto wielded. This was something she could use.
Kite wondered how the remote would affect them now. Shadow leaned up against her side with his massive head. He licked her fingers then his chops as she slipped him a lays.
She scratched his ears marveling at how they stood up perked. He leaned into the scratch affectionately. She felt completely safe with him. She hoped Raven was having fun. Storm perched above them dozing.
Hmm, wonder what this button combination does? She thought flicking a few numbers then enter. As soon as her finger pushed down she knew she had made a mistake...
And then she was in a very embarrassing place.
"Um, sorry!" She blurted out turning away to scrub her caustic, watering eyes. She wondered if she would ever see right again.
"How the hell did you get in here?" Amara yelled in a gruff voice. The older Sailor Scout, wearing nothing but her birthday suit, was clearly intending some serious harm on Kite's person. Kite yipped in fear and scrambled across the bed to take refuge behind Michelle her face burning to the ear tips. This was definitely one place she didn't want to be. Ever.
Vaguely she was aware of the candles and rose petal, which only fueled her intense desire to bolt out of there. The remote was clutched in death grip in her hand and she suddenly wished she were still holding the switchblade.
"Accident, promise!" She shoved a lock of silver hair out of her face and dodged a fist. It whistled past her face making her fall back tripping over some discarded clothes. She landed on her sore rump with a painful thump.
"Amara," Her green haired lover said in a slightly chiding tone, never mind that she was buck naked in front of a complete stranger, "Stop. She said it was an accident."
"I honestly have no idea what happened!" Kite protested her innocence then looked down at the remote, which was blinking with a small green light. She scowled at it, suddenly having a very clear idea of how she got there. I have the worst luck, she thought to herself still adverting her eyes from the two women.
Without a word she pushed the flashback button and found herself once again outside in the gray, overcast night. Shadow licked her frantically. Happy that she had returned after such an abrupt disappearance
Meanwhile, Raven was rapidly getting the hang on her new powers. She was disappointed to find that she was restricted to the Sailor Moon World. Bummer, she thought.
She was moving so quickly she left Sailor Pluto behind and explored the era herself. Finally mastering the technique she joined her friend back in the 'real world'
"What a rush!" Raven's blue eyes sparkled liked crystals filled with a rush of power.
She looked at her friend. "Feeling better?" She asked Kite.
Kite gave her a horrified look her face still pale, "You'll never believe what just happened to me!"
Kite told Raven the story of being able to manipulate the remote. Raven laughed wickedly and remarked something about lemons in real life. Kite blushed angrily and tossed a small rock at her, "Well I guess we all got new powers, now to have some fun with the stupid mortals that are ungrateful for our help."
Kite gave her a startled look and all Raven could do was laugh. It wasn't a nice sound.
"Now I need a shower and some new clothes. Let's find the best hotel in Tokyo and have ourselves some fun." She helped Kite to her feet and walked to the first expensive hotel she saw.
Kite followed her curling her fingers in Shadow's ruff unconsciously, "Some how, I don't like the way you said that." She muttered at her friend's back.
