Chapter 22: The Perfect Soldiers
"This will be our last stand!" Ubel confidently charges.
"You want to fight all of us in hand to hand combat?" Duo laughs.
"And I will beat every last one of you," Ubel threatens.
"Roger that," Heero coldly states as he lunges at Ubel who enter into a blinding array of kicks and punches. Ubel goes blow for blow without either of them landing one completely. Both go back and forth for quite some time until Heero drops to one knee and begins to sweep kick, but Ubel jumps up and kicks him a the chest sending him backwards.
"Impressive, young man," Ubel gloats, "But I am afraid that will not work."
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Mercury yells as the blue attack races toward Ubel. Ubel sneers as he doesn't even watch the attack and slides out of the way.
"Enough of this," Wufei complains as he whips out his broad sword and attack Ubel. Ubel smiles as Wufei takes lighting quick stabs and slices, but all of them are errant. He slips the sword from overhand to underhand after a low slice and make a quick uppercut almost catching him. He steps backward as the cut leaves Wufei wide open to a broadside attack, which he takes advantage of and fires a blue ball into his right side. Wufei lurches backward a skids back to the ground a little dazed.
"Damn it, anyways," Wufei groans as Sally rushes up to tend the wound.
"You may be good enough to win one-on-one, but how about twelve on one?" Une beams from the entrance with twelve Preventer soldiers. Right next to them, Quatre is tending to the bruised and unconscious Sylvia. The soldiers each whip out thin fencing blades and lunge at Ubel who in an impressive display disarms one as he volleys back and forth with the other eleven. He one by one beats each soldier while maintaining vollies with the others until only one is left. The one reaches down and grabs a second sword and attacks. To soldier stabs swiftly and precisely not hitting home, but takes a chop to the arm. The soldier winces in pain and in a brilliant display retaliates with random swipes and one actually catches Ubel on the thigh. Ubel in a rage drops the sword and open palm thrusts the soldier and unleashes another energy shot sending him hard against the wall.
"This is getting us nowhere," Venus complains.
Trowa bends over and begins whispering into Jupiter's ear. She smiles and nods as she stands ready to attack. Trowa looks at Duo and raises his eyebrows, which recieves a nod in return. Trowa and Jupiter jumps at Ubel's backside and begin punching away. Ubel dodges Jupiter's attack and sweeps her off her feet with a kick to leg. Just as she falls Trowa flips over them both and attempts a flip kick. Ubel dodges it and catches Trowa's leg throwing him to the ground. Trowa handflips to save the hard fall as a shot rings out. Ubel looks to his left noticing the shot left Duo's position and with a hypnotic movement slides past the bullet by no more than a couple centimeters. Ubel hears some noises again as he notices Jupiter doing a side kick at knee level behind him and Trowa doing a similar technique at chest height in front. Ubel bends horizontally and does a beautifully timed flip that contorts his body inbetween the two attacks perfectly. The two swing through and before they can recover from the smart maneuver; Ubel follow with a top spin kick on his head, sending them each their own way hard.
"Something is not right here," Zechs ponders aloud, "He shouldn't have been able to dodge a bullet and complete that perfectly timed defensive flip in the time he was given. Nothing can move or think that fast."
"Lets try the multiple technique again girls," Mars calls out, "Burning Mandala!"
"Love Me Chain!" Venus calls right behind her.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Mercury calls behind her.
"Supreme Thunder!" Jupiter completes the four bang attack. The multi- colored attack fills almost all of the room as it continues towards Ubel. As it nears him, he throws up his hands, open palmed, and a force field appears in front. The attack strikes the wall and the wall shatters as it envelops the attack.
Out of nowhere, Duo appears jumping from behind the unsuspecting Ubel with Wufei's broad sword in hand. As he begins to slice downward, Ubel, as if he knew Duo was there the whole time, backhands him and sends him skitting across the cold floor.
"Is he omniscient?" Noin gasps, "I didn't see Duo until the last second and he looks like he knew he was there the whole time."
"It is like he can read minds," Heero states nodding his head at Ubel.
Ubel throws his head back and laughs evilly, "You fools, it took you this long to figure that out?"
"So you can read minds?" Moon asks heroically.
"I am a God by your standards," Ubel gloats, "I can not only read minds, but I have trained my reaction times to be able to dodge or counter any attack made on me without being hurt."
"If you are a God, why did you lose the battle," Sally points out.
"I may be a God, but that doesn't mean everyone who follows me is the same way," Ubel continues to gloat, "Youmas, like humans, follow the power. I have enormous strength and agility on top of my perception. They all saw this and would do whatever I wanted them too."
"Than why are you here?" Mars charges.
"A similar reason Audric chose my seemingly weak and insignificant world," Ubel calls, "It works best for what I want to accomplish."
"And that is?" Trowa plainly asks.
"I want to conquer the moon and grow in power once again," Ubel informs, "With the new power, I can take over earth and space since you already have the technology to transport to and from. A considerable amount of energy also eminates from each planet and subsequent moon, so with each planet I conquer, Iget stronger. In the other world, it would take me one hundred years to actually begin to conquer space. Here, it would take me under a year. Then, the universe would be mine to have. It would be mine to control. And then, I could actually attain the offical status of, God!"
"Power is all that you are seeking?" Duo scoffs at.
"You are too simple-minded to comprehend the abilities of that amount of power," Ubel scoffs in return, "I could create humans again to be my slaves and they would serve me all my days. That would be perfect considering how humans have plagued us since the beginning of time."
"That will never be accomplished," Quatre barks.
"I am well on my way," Ubel gloats, "As I am defeating you now, more power is being transfered to my side from the moon's reserves. Soon, I will have enough power."
"Enough power to rid myself of all of you and begin my ascent to the throne of the universe!" Ubel begins glowing black and raises his palms open toward the group and multiple black energy balls fire at the group. Everyone scatters, but isn't fast enough an each takes a hard shot and falls overs wincing in pain. Ubel cackles ominously as the dark aura surrounding him deepens and grows in size.
The group looks up and the five Gundam pilots rush Ubel. Each attack is well thought out and coordinated. As one warrior completes an attack or gets countered, another takes his place. Nearly two minutes of fighting continues until the boys begin to wary. Ubel counters Duo's punch at chest height, and spins him off into the ground. Wufei charges in and spins in the air to power up the spinning kick, which is caught in mid air and he is tossed away the same way he came. Quatre charges in next with multiple spinning kicks at random heights. After only a few, Ubel snatches the back of one of his thigh and thrusts him down. As Quatre lays face down on the floor, Ubel reaches down and wraps his arm around his waist looking for a German Suplex. He rips backwards and turns the suplex into a toss and launches Quatre across the room. Trowa take advantage of Ubel's odd position and sweeps out the feet. Ubel recovers without letting his rump hit the ground and counters with a circular sweep kick. Trowa jumps over it, but Ubel anticipates and does a hand stand scissor kick using the sweep's momentum knocking Trowa out of the air.
Heero stands sizing up Ubel once again. Ubel scoffs and drops to a fighting stance. Heero drops into one himself and seems to slide to his left. While sliding, Heero lurches forward with his inside leg protuding towards the defenders shin. Ubel once again anticipated and has an energy ball waiting. He fires it into Heero at point blank rage. Heero stands shocked as Ubel conpletely shielded the move until the perfect moment when Heero committed to the attack. Heero slides back and picks himself up quickly, only to find himself in the middle of the other four battered men.
Ubel laughs wildly as he powers up the black and now blue aura which glows to a menacing size and darkness. "My power is now over fifty percent. I have no weaknesses and soon you will have no chance of defeating me! My status of a god is at hand!" Ubel looks at the worried group with his black crescent scarily glowing and his hair is thickening. Worst of all, his eyes are colored in spiralling black and blue energy.
"You have one weakness though Ubel," a young boy's dark outline calls out from the door.
"Why do you always hide in the shadows, boy?" Ubel barks.
"You can only read the mind of a clear mind," Ryo states as he steps out.
"It just so happens that each of the warriors from this world had to become perfect soldiers in order to minimise mistakes and get the most out of what they were given. In our world, these girls tend to act more irrationally and emotionally. As the soldier earlier that cut you showed me, and the story of Jupiter actually landing a hit on you before showed me, you cannot read a clouded mind."
"You are a fool, boy," Ubel barks, his face getting angry, "Why don't you take me on and see if you are correct."
"So Trowa, it would appear as emotions in battle are neccessary as much as the lack thereof," Jupiter smirks as she looks at Trowa.
"What will you do?" Trowa asks still looking at Ubel.
"I will show you what a Sailor Scout Perfect Soldier can accomplish," Jupiter gloats, "I am fighting for you, myself, my friends, and our worlds. I may be the only thing that stands in his way. In the name of love and justice, I will finish you Ubel!"
Jupiter lunges at Ubel screaming who actually is slow to turn as she lands a kick to his midsection sending him staggering. Ubel's face glowers as he accepts the challenges and returns the attack. Jupiter takes two wide punches and Ubel dodges them both and opens his hand, firing a blue ball into her abdomen. She skids back and slides to her feet with an angry look. Jupiter screams as she lunges again and begins and even more fierce array of kicks and punches. Ubel dodges them intially, but begins to get a little sloppy as the volley continues. Jupiter begins to fatigue and uses a bit of extra strength to force and uppercut into Ubel's chin lifting him off the ground and hard into back into the floor.
Ubel picks himself and gives an angry look as his dark aura is beginning to fade and she is getting stronger.
"I'll take care of you once and for all sailor scum," Ubel threatens as a orange ball glows over his head, "Nega Fission Blast!" The ball leaves his control in a flash and before Jupiter can move, because her fatigue, the ball bears down on her. Out of nowhere, Trowa dives in front of her and the ball strikes him in the chest. The room fills with an orange flash as the nuclear type explosion lights off. When the glare wears off Trowa lies a few feet from Jupiter twitching slightly in pain. Jupiter rushes over to him and notices a large burn mark where the beam struck him.
"Lucky for us, you took quite a bit of energy from him," Trowa manages wincing in pain, "I won't be down for long. Get him for me." Jupiter looks pleadingly into his fading eyes when she hears it.
"Foolish boy," Ubel pokes sinisterly.
Jupiter stands up slowoly with electricity coursing throughout her body and the expression is the meanest anybody has seen from her as the electricity glows fiercely in her eyes. "How dare you," Jupiter says in a dangerously low tone, "Now I will finish you for good!" She charges Ubel faster than anyone has seen her run as Ubel can't make out what she is thinking.
"Has she actually gone berserker?" Quatre gasps.
"Ahh!" Jupiter screams as she lands a devastating strong arm punch hurling Ubel into the wall leaving an imprint. She downright appears right in front of him as he recoils and begins pummelling him mercilessly back into the wall, which begins to shudder with each blow.
"Impressive," Wufei notices.
"Makoto," Moon worries.
Ubel begins to regain his composure and state of mind and lets off an energy pulse forcing Jupiter back. She growls and sucks air in as if prepping a scream.
"Supreme Thunder!" she screams as the lightning strikes her tiara, but actually remains coursing through her. With obvious pain, she fights though it while triple kicking Ubel who roars in pain from the added effect.
He falls to his knees a belts out, "You'll need more than that to defeat me!"
"Than you shall have it!" Jupiter screams at the top of her lungs, "Jupiter Star Power!" Jupiter begins charging Ubel once again.
"Girls, that is our queue!" Moon orders. The girls quickly gather in a circle, join hands, and close their eyes.
"Mercury Star Power!" "Venus Star Power!" "Mars Star Power!" "Saturn Star Power!" "Neptune Star Power!" "Uranus Star Power!" "Moon Prism Power!"
And all the girls in a deafening roar wail, "Sailor Planet Attack!"
A beautiful beam races to Jupiter and strikes her in the center of her back. She immediately completes a crushing heart open hand punch, with fingertips bladed right in the middle of Ubel's chest. Ubel's last expression is that of immovable fear as the spectrums of light, red, orange, yellow, green, purple, blue, and black, begin emitting from the strike point like eight spotlights. Every color but white spirals in perfect unison with the others in a tight oval. Suddenly all beams retract back into the strike point and a white explosion blinds everyone's view in a enormous explosion.
After a minute, the flash subsides and everyone looks up at the result. Off in the corner of the room, Trowa is cradling the badly beaten Makoto who has detransformed due to exhaustion and pain. Nothing else is near them except pieces of the crumbling wall. Trowa briefly looks up and nods at the group confirming their suspicions the battle is over. Trowa quickly returns to Makoto and picks her up and carries her, cradling style, back to the group. She leans into him and smiles as she drifts off into a much deserved nap.
"It finally is all over," Moon sighs.
