The Mystical Warriors, Part 7

***Five Powers Make One Everlasting***

The five mystical warriors sat in a booth in the arcade, solemnly sipping at their sodas.

"There's nothing to do," Serena exclaimed.

"I know, I've been really bored lately," Lita said. Ever since Mina received her armor,

things had been relatively quiet for them. There had been no Negaverse attacks, which was

good for them, but also tended to make them bored. "Hey Serena," Raye said, "Why aren't you

with Darien?"

"He has work today. Otherwise, I would be with him." The others just sat there thinking of

what to do with their boredom when Andrew came up to them. "Hey guys, how are you doing?"

"Fine, but we're really bored," Ami said.

"What, no fights lately?" Ever since Andrew found out about their secret identities, he'd

been in awe of them and their power. When he asked how they gotten their armors, they'd

explained their past life as princesses of the planets and that they were Sailor Scouts

before they were the Mystical Warriors. Andrew had been in awe of the fact that they were

princesses from other planets.

To react to that, he revered them completely. "No, no fights lately, "Raye said. Suddenly,

Mina came up with an idea on how to cure their boredom. She smiled and looked up at Andrew.

"Andrew, do you still have that Frisbee in back that we bought to use at the park a while

ago?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Because I wanna borrow it."

"For?" he prompted.

"To cure our boredom. What to you guys say to a game of catch in the park to keep up our

speed and agility?" The others looked to be considering her offer and then Lita said, "Why

not? I could use the training," and the others nodded in agreement.

"Could you go get that Frisbee, Andrew?" Mina asked.

"Sure, be right back," he said as the turned to go to get the Frisbee. He came back shortly

after he left and handed Mina the Frisbee. "Thanks," she said and left money on the table

for the drinks. Getting up, the 5 left the arcade, waving good-bye to Andrew, who waved

back.

At the park, the 5 girls formed a circle so they could pass it back and forth. As they were

throwing it and catching it, there was no doubt that the best Frisbee-thrower was Serena

from all the times that she had to use her tiara as a weapon when she was Sailor Moon, not

Serena, bearer of the Armor of the Moonlight. All of the girls were laughing and gossiping

while they tossed the Frisbee around and jumped or ran to pluck it out of the air. But

somewhere else, someone was planning to ruin their fun . . .

"Is my youma ready?" Queen Beryl asked her head advisor as she lounged in her throne room,

her nails of her right hand casually drumming the armrest.

"Yes my queen, we're about ready to let it loose."

"Good, good. Just make sure that it's strong enough. Ever since the Scouts gained those

armors, they have been most formidable enemies."

"My Queen, they couldn't possibly defeat the power of this youma. We have put too much

energy into it."

"Well, make sure it doesn't fail, for your sake. Because if it does, I'll have your head on

a platter. Is that clear?"

"Absolutely, my Queen."

"Wonderful, release the youma," Queen Beryl instructed.

"As you wish, my Queen"

The girls were still tossing around the Frisbee when a rumbling was heard in the sky. Raye

stopped mid-throw and looked up at the sky. "Did you guys hear that?"

"Yeah, I heard that," Serena said.

"It's weird, it sounded like thunder, but there's not a cloud in the sky," Ami said.

Suddenly, a bolt of energy hit the ground right in front of Raye and Raye jumped back to

avoid getting his. "Ok guys, power up!" Serena said. All the others nodded. "Power of the

Moonlight!"

"Power of the Phoenix!"

"Power of Lightning!"

"Power of the Arctic!"

"Power of the Heavens!" Moments later, all 5 girls stood there in their sub-armor, ready to

fight. Looking up in the sky, they watched as the youma floated down from the sky. When

she landed, the 5 finally got a good look at her. She had blue skin and she was wearing a

black dress. She had no feet, but tentacles that looked like octopi legs. To Serena, the

youma reminded her of a very thin Ursula from The Little Mermaid. She chuckled and said,

"So these are the famous Mystical Warriors. You look more like sweet innocent girls to me.

Oh well, to bad I have to kill you."

"The only one that's going to be killed is you, you slime-infested creature," Raye shouted.

The youma was taken aback and said, "I think I've been insulted. How you hurt me with your

words! Right. How does the saying go? Oh yes. 'Sticks and stones can break my bones, but

words will never hurt me.' How apropos. Oh well, enough chat. It's time to die."

She laughed maliciously and stretched out her hands and black lightning flew from them,

surrounding the 5 girls. As the lighting reached them, it seared through their bodies,

causing them extreme pain. They all screamed as the pain consumed them, the sound of their

screams echoing through out the park. And the youma continued to laugh. Suddenly, the

lightning stopped, giving the girls a moment's respite, and the youma said, "Did that hurt?

No? Well then, we're going to have to make it hurt." She never got the chance to release

the lightning again when a red rose landed right by her feet, momentarily paralyzing her.



"Quickly, transform into the armors!" Tuxedo Mask said. As if on cue, all the girls cried

out their summoning cries, gathering up as much strength as possible. "I call upon the

armor of the Moonlight! Armor of the Moonlight . . . "

"I call upon the armor of the Phoenix! Armor of the Phoenix . . . "

"I call upon the armor of Lightning! Armor of Lightning . . . "

"I call upon the armor of the Artic! Armor of the Arctic . . . "

"I call upon the armor of the Heavens! Armor of the Heavens . . ."

"TO ARMS!" they all cried at once. Moments later the 5 Mystical Warriors were standing

there, ready to fight. Lita charged forward first and cried out, "LIGHTNING SWORD STRIKE!"

and a lightning sword flew straight for the youma, but she dodged it quickly as Lita looked

at her with surprise. No youma had yet been able to dodge that attack.

Next came Raye, who cried out, "FIREBIRD FLARE!" as a firebird flew straight for her, but

the youma created a force field around her and the firebird crashed into the shield,

disintegrating. Then, as Raye was fuming from the fact that her attack failed, Mina call

out, "BEAUTY SHOCK WAVE!" and let loose and arrow, but the youma dodged her attack as well.



She dodged Serena and Ami's attacks also and the scouts were confused about what to do when

it suddenly hit Ami; she had an idea that just might work. "You guys, maybe if we combine

our attacks together, we might be able to beat her."

"It's worth a shot," Raye said.

"What have we got to lose?" Mina said.

"Ok, guys let's go! MOONLIGHT . . . "

"FIREBIRD. . . "

"LIGHTNING SWORD . . . "

"RAGING ICE STORM. . . "

"BEAUTY SHOCK . . . " The youma looked at them and laughed. "You'll never be able to beat me

with you petty attacks." But she was very much wrong. "VANQUISH!"

"FLARE!"

"STRIKE!"

"FREEZE!"

"WAVE!" All of their power combined together to form blinding force that ripped through the

youma quickly. Before dying, the youma cried out, "Queen Beryl, I have failed you." Then

there was nothing but dust. "Good job Mystical Warriors. You have showed yourselves that

apart, your powers are strong, but when combined, can create an unstoppable force. My

congratulations to you," and then he was gone. "I can't believe he still does things like

that. Give messages like that. They're too corny," Serena said.

"Admit it Serena, you like his corny messages," Lita taunted, the hint of a smile playing on

her lips. Serena gave up, knowing Lita was right, and sighed.

"I guess in a way I do. But they're still too corny."

"Good point," Lita said back. All of them detransformed and resumed their positions in the

circle. Raye picked up the temporarily forgotten Frisbee and said, "Hey Lita, heads up!"

and tossed it. They resumed the game quickly as if nothing had ever interrupted it.
