Chapter Four
The Battle Begins
"No!!" Beryl screamed, knocking over her crystal ball. "But no matter. Jedite!" she barked. "Come forth at once!"
In an instant, Jedite appeared. "Yes, my queen?"
"Jedite, have you selected a monster yet?" she asked, glaring at him.
"Yes. It is a giant hawk named Talon."
"Let me see!" said Beryl, and evil glint in her eyes.
"Very well." He snapped his fingers. An eight-feet-tall hawk with purple plumage, a long beak, and beady, fearsome eyes appeared.
"Excellent! Excellent!" Beryl shouted triumphantly. "But are you sure it's foolproof?"
"I am positive, my queen."
"All right, then. Carry out our plans. Attack the Power Scouts."
* * * * *
Back on Earth, the Power Scouts were congratulating each other on a job well done.
"Yeah, I think we did good!" Lita said enthusiastically.
Just then, Talon appeared.
"What's that thing?" Mina asked.
"Let's morph," Serena shouted, as she held her morpher in front of herself. The others did the same.
"Moon Power!"
"Mercury Power!"
"Mars Power!"
"Jupiter Power!"
"Venus Power!"
"Earth Power!"
They now were in colored costumes with a blade-blaster (gunsword) at their belts.
"Let's get him!" Darien yelled.
Raye and Mina ran towards Talon, and started kicking and punching him. Talon used his razor-sharp beak to peck them away. "Ahh!" Mina shrieked, as she toppled over onto the ground.
Amy shouted, "Guys, we should call our weapons!" In unison, they each called out the name of their weapon.
"Right, nowlet's go!" lita exclaimed. She ran towards Talon and when she was in a few feet of him, she shouted, "Jupiter Thunderbolt Crackle!" A large thunderbolt tore from the edge of her whip, lashing Talon in a surge of electricity. Talon shriekd with fury.
"Take this!" Serena shouted. She prepared to aim her arrow at him, and called, "Moon Powerbow Eradication!" The arrow grew to three times its original size, and a it hit Talon, little pink ropes came out and wrapped themselves around the beast. After a moment of his screaming, they dropped and disintegrated. Mina threw her daggers at him.
Then Serena yelled, "Guys! Use your blade-blasters on him!" Thy took their bladeblasters out and aimed.
* * * * *
"I won't have it!" Queen Beryl screamed angrily. "Zoicite! Malachite! Come forward NOW!!!!!"
In a heartbeat, two soldiers appeared. Zoicite was tall and slender, with golden-blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail. Malachite had long white hair and cold eyes.
"I need you to go down to Earth and attack the Power Scouts while they're still weakened," ordered Beryl.
"Of course, my queen," said Zoicite. In a spark of green light, Malachite was gone, and in a flutter of rosepetals, Zoicite was, too.
* * * * *
"Yes!" Amy shouted. "It worked!" Talon was gone.
"Not so fast!" a voice called. Zoicite and Malachite appeared.
"Uh-oh," Serena groaned.
"Let's take them," Lita said.
Zoicite laughed as Raye rushed forward. A ball of electricity appeared in Zoicite's hand, and she thrust it at Raye.
"Aaah!" Raye screamed as she fell backwards. "Bad move!" she yelled. "You play with fire, and you're gonna get burned!"
She began spinning her nunchuchas really fast, so that they were only a red blur. "Mars Fireballs Blaze!" she shouted. Tons of fireballs shot out at Zoicit, surrounding her with flames.
Darien was battling with Malachite. He slashed at the dark soldier with his axe, then turned it so the bottom half was facing his enemy. A laser beam shot out of it.
"Argh!" screamed Malachite. "Take this!" he shot a blast of energy at Darien.
"Oof!" Darien flew back several feet.
"Hey! Creepazoids!" Amy rushed forward. "Mercury Icicle Slash!" The metal points on the powerlance turned into ice. She slashed Malachite acorss the chest twice, and he was encased in a giant iceburg. It lasted a few moments, then shattered. Malachite fell to his knees.
Meanwhile, Mina was finishing off Zoicite. "Venus Cosmic Daggers Attack!" she cried, throwing the daggers, whcich encircled Zoicite, creating a dome. The dome closed around Zoicite, which zapped her energy. She, too, fell to her knees.
"All right, everyone, let's bring it together!" Serena shouted. The Power Scouts combined their attacks to deal the evil soldiers a final blow.
"Argh!" screamed Zoicite.
"We'll be back to play another day!" said Malachite.
"Count on it!" Zoicite added.
In a blur of light and rosepetals, they were gone.
* * * * *
"We did it!" Serena told Luna at the Command Center.
"Yes you did, and I am very proud of you," Luna responded happily.
"Yeah," said Artemis. Queen Beryl must be scared now!"
"Yeah, but do you think we can handle such a responsibility?" Raye asked.
"Of course. You have the makings of a great super-team," said Luna confidently.
"We do?" asked Mina, surprised.
"Yes," Luna responded. "You each have something to contribute to the Power Scouts. Serena--leadership. Amy--a deductive mind and a level-head in battle. Lita--a wonderful talent in martial arts. Mina--grace and agility. Raye--bravery. Darien--nobility. Together, you can defeat Beryl!"
"Right!" said Serena.
"I'm in!" Amy said.
"Me too!" Raye said.
"Of course," Lita added.
"Count me in," Mina said.
"It's not even a question," Darien stated.
"Right! No one can stop us!" Lita shouted.
"We're the Power Scouts!" Mina yelled, slapping everyone high-five.
THE END!
