Lol, just in case anyone had any questions about the last somewhat corny chapter... I wrote this story when I was really into the series... Lol, that explains the corny names, phrases, speeches etc. Lol, try to look past it, but I will try to eliminate some of that! :) Anyway, here's Chapter Twelve... Enjoy you guys! :)
Who is Jupiter Knight?
Amy opened her eyes and realized she was no longer with Greg, but with Darien. What happened? She could remember being held by that horrible man, but everything else was a blank. She groaned softly and Tuxedo Mask looked down at her with worry.
"Amy? Are you all right?" He asked.
"I'm fine Darien, but where is Greg?" She asked.
"He's fighting that guy from the Negaverse." Darien answered.
"What? What do you mean he's fighting?" Amy asked incredulously.
"Amy, he's a Sailor Scout. I mean, a knight... I mean, he has to be. See for yourself," Darien said, gesturing towards where Greg and the dark man stood, facing each other.
Amy gaped at Greg as he transformed and began to fight with the dark man. She couldn't believe it, her sworn protector had come home to her, and she could remember everything. As he transformed the images of her past flowed through her like a tidal wave, crashing into her mind with an unstoppable force that was nearly overwhelming.
But as she watched him fight her fear dissipated and her love rose. She stared at her handsome Mercury Knight, so much like herself. She knew she had to help him and with his transformation her strength grew. She rose from Darien's protective hold to her feet. He stood up to assist her but she brushed him away.
"No Darien, I must help him. We are a team, and we were long ago. I know that now, and I am no longer afraid. You must go help the Sailor Scouts, they need you." She said softly, she took out her transformation stick.
She was about to transform when she heard the screams of Anthony. She watched him bravely try to protect Mina, as the grotesque creatures descended upon her. She watched as Mina cried at his defeat and then gazed in wonder at his transformation, as well as Mina's, though she had seen Princess Venus before. She had to admit both were beautiful, as if the Goddess of Love herself had made them. They were golden figures that brightened the lives of the Sailor Soldiers.
She knew it was time to help so she decided not to waste anymore time. She held her transformation wand above her head and shouted:
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!!!"
She felt the pure, icy waters of her planet encircle her as her sailor outfit appeared in place of her normal clothes. She stood for a moment, analyzing the situation. She pressed her earring and her visor appeared while took out her mini-data computer.
"These monsters are extremely weak. They're definitely Queen Beryl's design. However, the man isn't a monster... he seems to be a general, much to the effect of Jedeite or Malachite. But he is much more powerful. We have to get him, and fast." Sailor Mercury stated matter of factly.
Darien smiled, same Mercury. She smiled at Darien and stepped forward just as Stealth was powering up to hit Greg...
"Hold it Nega-creep!" Mercury shouted. "Your goons hurt me before but it's not going to happen again! Let the Ice of Mercury stop you cold!" She finished stepping up to Greg's side.
Greg stared at Amy with surprise for a moment, but then smiled at her. He took her hand and they stood together to face Stealth. Around them the Sailor Soldiers and Venus Knight fought to keep the rest of the monsters at bay as Darien quickly joined them. Mercury Knight looked at Sailor Mercury and nodded, they began to power up.
"PLANET OF MERCURY, GIVE US YOUR WISDOM AND STRENGTH..." Greg began in a strong voice. A blue light began to form around their bodies. Sailor Mercury felt it and clutched Mercury Knight's hand tighter. Stealth backed up in surprise. Then they said together...
"MERCURY PLANET BLIZZARD..."
A ring of snow began to encircle them, much like Venus's love chain, but much more powerful. Blue light shone from their bodies while the sign of Mercury glowed from their heads fiercely.
"FREEZE!!!" they finished together.
The light and snow surged from their bodies. Stealth formed a barrier against it, but it did him no good. The snow turned into ice shards as it neared him and the force of Mercury was unstoppable! His shield shattered as the pieces made impact. He screamed as they pierced his skin and the pure energy of Mercury entered his body. He fell to the ground, clutching his wounds. His clothes were in tatters and black blood flowed from his body onto the ground. The lovers from Mercury turned to Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Moon, I believe it's your turn..." Sailor Mercury said, smiling at Mercury Knight, they had done it!
Sailor Moon nodded and readied her wand...
"MOON CRYSTAL THERAPY..." she began, aiming it at Stealth...
Stealth looked up at the bright shimmering form of Sailor Moon, knowing his fate. He staggered to his feet, screaming into the wind...
"YOU'LL NEVER DEFEAT US! WE'LL GET YOU! QUEEN MALICE ISN'T DONE! THE NEGAVERSE WILL NEVER DIE!"
Sailor Moon shook her head sadly, pitying the man. She finished her attack, closing her eyes. "KISS!!!"
Stealth watched the energy flow towards him and screamed into the Negaverse as he welcomed oblivion. Kitara heard him in her quarters, and readied another monster for later, vowing to destroy the Sailor Soldiers once and for all.
******************************************************************************
"Well, so much for the movies..." Serena said sadly. She was really disappointed.
"Don't worry meat-ball head. The night isn't over yet, and we have new members to welcome." Darien said, gesturing towards Greg and Anthony.
The boys blushed, but moved towards their newfound loves, happier than they had ever been. Lita and Raye watched them enviously. Lita turned away and began to walk home, alone, while Serena watched her with sad eyes. Raye followed suit, gently awakening Chad, and helping him towards Cherry Hill Temple.
Anthony looked at Mina, who observed him shyly, not really knowing what to say. He smiled at her. "Well what do you say? Shall I give you a ride home?" He asked grinning.
"Yes, we need to talk... My dear Venus Knight," she added with a smile.
Anthony laughed and led her to his car, opening the door for her. Mina got in, a huge grin on her face. Amy watched them go, and then looked at Greg, who smiled down at her.
"Should we go now too?" he asked.
"Yes, we definitely need to talk. I want to know how long you've known about being Mercury Knight." Amy said, looking at him curiously.
Greg's smile became uncomfortable and scratched his head nervously. "Well, I haven't known that long..." he began.
Amy smiled and took his hand. They started towards her house, leaning closer to each other as they went.
Serena and Darien watched them go, and then looked at each other happily, knowing everything was going to be great from now on. Darien took Serena into his arms and kissed her. They began to walk home, doing exactly what Darien had planned on the way to the movies.
******************************************************************************
Negaverse-
Kitara screamed angrily. She stomped around her quarters, yelling and cursing Stealth.
"Great, now I have to face Queen Malice. She's not going to like this. Sailor Mercury is now fully regenerated, two of the Sailor Knights have appeared, and Stealth is now gone! Queen Malice doesn't like to lose generals! I must try again before she finds out. The sailor soldiers must be defeated before she knows of my failure!" She screamed aloud.
She stood up and summoned her minion. "SCREAMER! Come forth!" she commanded.
A horrible monster appeared. It's body was long and green and dripped with some unknown slime. The limbs were long and lanky, the arms ending in long claws. The mouth of the monster was horribly large and the smell it emitted was rank. Kitara grinned wickedly.
"I order you to defeat the Sailor Scouts. Bring your sisters for backup- Leveler and Twister should help you. Now Go! And don't fail me!" she commanded.
The monster grinned evilly and a blob of slime dribbled onto the floor with her muttered acceptance of the mission. She transported away. Kitara cringed as she watched her go.
"Man they just keep getting uglier!" she said aloud.
******************************************************************************
Lita walked down the street with Ken. It was the first time they had been out since he had arrived in Tokyo. They smiled and laughed about familiar places and things. They ate lunch in the park and Ken remarked on Lita's wonderful cooking. Afterwards, Ken chased Lita through the park as they played their favorite game when they were kids. He caught her and began to tickle her while she laughed, unable to get him off of her!
"You give up?" Ken asked laughing.
"Yeah I give up! I give up!" she screamed, laughing helplessly.
He grinned and got off of her and began to lift her to her feet, but she tripped and landed in his arms. He laughed and raised her up gently, but then noticed his face was extremely close to hers. She laughed nervously.
'She's so beautiful,' he thought. 'More beautiful than I ever imagined she could be. She has really grown up.' He stared at her and frowned slightly. 'But you have too,' he thought. 'You can't let feelings get in the way of your friendship. She may not want that.' He reluctantly released her and walked away before she could see the emotions clouding his eyes.
Lita watched him go, not knowing what to think. 'What's the matter with me?' She thought sadly, feeling the tears rise. 'He could've kissed me, and I wanted him to. Why didn't he?'
'He's your best friend Lita. He may not want to ruin that. Do you?' Her mind asked reasonably. She shook herself out of her thoughts, realizing that Ken had disappeared. 'Where did he go?' She thought suddenly. Then the screams began.
******************************************************************************
Screamer hovered above the humans, unleashing the sound waves held gravity with their extreme power. Her sister Leveler was pounding the earth with her large fists. She looked much like a gorilla with large fangs and crawled with fleas and other parasites.
Twister stood off to the side, easily the most beautiful of the trio. Perhaps the reason was she looked human. Her hair was white and quite tangled, and even had pieces of leaves stuck in it here and there... but for some reason this fact only made her more beautiful. Her eyes were silver, like two shiny quarters, and they flashed whenever she became angry. Her lips were purple and her skin pale, and her expression a mixture of amusement and revulsion. Her gown barely covered her body, her nails were long and wickedly sharp, and she knew just how to use them.
Screamer was just about to blast a young man to the oblivion when she was hit to the ground by a spray of razor sharp leaves! She turned around, ready to yell at Twister, but she saw a young girl in a sailor outfit instead.
"Back off Nega-scum!" She shouted! "I'm Sailor Jupiter and in the name of Jupiter I'll punish you!"
The monster laughed wickedly, hardly believing such a girl had the nerve to challenge her. Leveler and Twister looked at her with amused interest as well.
Sailor Jupiter wrinkled her nose in disgust! 'Gross, this thing is ugly!' "Well, come on! Are you going to fight me or not? I'm a lot stronger than you think!" She began to power up.
"JUPITER THUNDER...."
"CRASH!!!"
The electric blast careened into Screamer with a smoky blow! She screamed hoarsely and held her burning chest, an electric stink had filled the air. She turned and glared at Sailor Jupiter. She opened her mouth and released dark energy from the gaping orifice. Jupiter hit the ground, screaming in agony as the energy coursed through her body. The scream ended and she tried to get up.
******************************************************************************
Ken stood in the park thinking of Lita. How could he just walk away from her like that? 'She must think I'm a total jerk,' he decided finally.
He suddenly felt as if his whole entire body was being ripped apart! He screamed and fell to the ground in pain. His eyes closed and he blacked out.
A woman appeared to him. She had long green hair and lovely red eyes. He stared at her, wondering why she seemed so familiar. She looked straight back at him.
"Jupiter Knight, use this. This will help you fight the Negaverse, and your dreams. To activate the stone, shout 'Jupiter Power.' Farewell." The woman said, and handed him a green stone that shimmered in the darkness around them. Without another word, the beautiful woman disappeared.
Ken woke up and looked down at his hands. In them was the same green emerald the woman had given him. He closed his eyes and felt power surge through him. Suddenly, he knew what to do.
"JUPITER POWER!!!" he screamed!
******************************************************************************
Lita was weakening quickly and knew she wouldn't last much longer. She fell to the ground clutching her bruised body as the horrible monster opened her mouth again. She screamed hoarsely, the pain was almost unbearable. She was about to give up when she suddenly heard a voice.
"Let her go Nega-trash! I am Jupiter Knight and I will teach you not to mess with the power of storms!"
Lita and the monster looked up. A young man stood there in a forest-green tunic with fitting brown pants, no hat, but a white mask. He carried a sword that crackled with lightning.
'He's come,' Sailor Jupiter thought happily. 'But who is he?'
******************************************************************************
Jupiter Knight looked down at the tall girl lying at the monster's feet. His heart began to beat faster and he suddenly had the urge to hold the girl and never let her go. He shook his head, what was the matter with him? He only cared for Lita. Why was this girl so important? He cleared his head. The Sailor Soldier wasn't important now, only the defeat of this monster mattered. He powered up for his first attack...
"JUPITER LIGHTENING SWORD...." he raised the sword towards the heavens, and lightening crashed into its blade. The power surged through it until the sword seemed as if it was going to shatter with the electricity.
"ELECTRIFY!!!!" he screamed bringing the sword down!
Sailor Jupiter watched as the attack connected with the monster, causing it to fly back and crash into the wall. It stood up holding its smoking side, and Sailor Jupiter noticed dark green blood poured from the wound. She grimaced as the same rancid smell invaded her nostrils. The monster glared at her and the new knight with rage. Her yellow eyes glowed with hatred as she turned on Sailor Jupiter.
"Leveler! Take care of the man! I've got to teach these shockers not to mess with the power of my sound waves!" she shouted, maneuvering towards Sailor Jupiter. The second monster nodded and ran at Jupiter Knight. Before he could react, she picked him up with her hands and began to squeeze him. He screamed! It felt as if his ribs were going to crack! Leveler laughed wickedly.
Sailor Jupiter ran towards Jupiter Knight, attempting to rescue him when she was knocked to the ground as Screamer opened her mouth again. It took all her strength to get into a standing position. She glared at Screamer angrily.
"SHUT-UP! Or better yet, I'll silence your evil forever!" She shouted, raising her arms above her head.
"JUPITER THUNDER DRAGON...." An Oriental style dragon suddenly appeared, sparkling and crackling with lightening...
"ATTACK!!!"
The dragon came towards the monster with amazing speed and flew through her as it made contact. Screamer stared at Sailor Jupiter unbelievingly as its energy began to drain. She could feel herself dying and she knew oblivion was soon...
"NO! I will not let this storm child defeat me! If I must go down you must go down with me! Prepare for the end sailor girl!"
The monster began to glow with dark energy and ran at Sailor Jupiter with terrifying speed. Sailor Jupiter screamed and tried to turn to avoid the monster, but tripped on a piece of rubble! She tried to scramble away, but it was too late... The monster was already upon her, arms spread wide and mouth open, dark energy spraying its entire body. Lita screamed and covered herself, preparing for the pain and maybe the end....
******************************************************************************
Jupiter Knight continued to struggle with the monster, trying desperately to break its hold on him, but it was not letting up. He looked over at the brave girl who suddenly powered up and released an amazing attack at the monster, hurting it badly. 'That's it,' he thought, 'this fight is over.'
But it wasn't. The monster suddenly charged at the girl, black energy emitting from it in amazingly strong waves. Even from his distance he winced at its power. 'It's going to try to kill her,' he thought. 'Get out of there!' He pleaded in his mind.
He saw the girl try to get out of the way, screaming as she did, but then she tripped! The monster was there and was going to kill her! He had to help and fast! He suddenly looked back at the monster that was holding him as she was staring at the end of her sister. It looked shocked. He grinned and began to laugh. The monster turned its attention back to him with a questioning look written on its ugly face.
"You wanted to mess with me, now you have to pay." he said, and raised his head to the sky.
"JUPITER PLANET SHOCK!!!" he screamed.
The sign of Jupiter began to glow on his forehead. A sudden flash of green erupted from the sky and a blast of electricity coursed through Levelers body! She let out a scream of rage and fell to the ground shaking and cursing.
'There's no time to finish her,' he thought. 'I must get the girl.' He ran towards Sailor Jupiter quick as lightening and managed to get therre just as the monster reached her. Much in the style of Tuxedo Mask, he whisked her away in his arms, landing a safe distance from the monster- who in her rage had lost much of her energy. He glanced at the sailor girl, who stood ready to finish it off. He nodded and joined her.
"JUPITER ELECTRIC CURRENT...." they began together...
Lita looked at Jupiter Knight, realizing she was doing a new attack, one not known to her, but one so familiar...
"BLAST!!!" they finished together!
Screamer looked up as the two figures unleashed an enormous amount of lightening. The blast boomed with noise that would've blown away any of her attacks. She welcomed her death, knowing Kitara would've been very angry at her failure.
'Oh well,' she thought. 'Leveler and Twister still have a chance to defeat them. Kitara will hold me responsible, not them.'
******************************************************************************
Twister stared unbelievingly as the two humans destroyed her sister. She looked over at Leveler, who was sprawled on the ground, still twitching from the young man's attack, but still alive. Her lips pulled back in a horrible snarl. She walked towards the two humans that stood together, ready to fight. She stopped in front of them, tossed her long white hair over her shoulders. She glared at them angrily, but a trifled uncertain.
'This isn't a good idea,' she thought. 'I cannot walk into this like my sister did. I must know more about them. This battle cannot be won without knowing my enemy.' She stepped back. 'I must get out of here. Good thing Screamer took the mission and not I. She will be held responsible for the failure, while Kitara will give us another chance.' She made her way towards Leveler and stood over her. She turned towards the two soldiers.
"Enjoy your victory sailor brats, just remember next time you won't be so lucky. Remember, now it's personal. We will be back." she called to them. She looked down at her sister. "Come Leveler, we will fight again, another time, another place. We will avenge our brave sister Screamer..."
Sailor Jupiter and Jupiter Knight watched as she began to spin, her hair whirling around till she was only a blur. The huge gorilla like form of Leveler rose into the air with her and suddenly they were gone. The wind settled with them.
Sailor Jupiter looked at Jupiter Knight and suddenly spoke. "Excuse me, I hope you don't think I'm rude, but who exactly are you?" she asked curiously.
Jupiter Knight smiled at her directness under his mask. He walked over to the girl and kissed her cheek. She smiled and touched the spot softly.
"I am Jupiter Knight, a friend of the Sailor Soldiers and a sworn enemy of the Negaverse. I cannot reveal my true identity to you, but I will be here any time you need me. Farewell." He said gallantly, and rose into the air. There was a flash of green and he was gone.
Lita watched the sky, expecting to see him appear again, but nothing happened. 'I wish I knew who you were,' she thought. 'Are you my true love like Mercury and Venus Knight are to Amy and Mina?'
But to this she had no answers, and by the time the scouts had managed to get to the battle scene, Lita was already smitten with the green-clad stranger.
Like it? Hate it? Review please! :)
Who is Jupiter Knight?
Amy opened her eyes and realized she was no longer with Greg, but with Darien. What happened? She could remember being held by that horrible man, but everything else was a blank. She groaned softly and Tuxedo Mask looked down at her with worry.
"Amy? Are you all right?" He asked.
"I'm fine Darien, but where is Greg?" She asked.
"He's fighting that guy from the Negaverse." Darien answered.
"What? What do you mean he's fighting?" Amy asked incredulously.
"Amy, he's a Sailor Scout. I mean, a knight... I mean, he has to be. See for yourself," Darien said, gesturing towards where Greg and the dark man stood, facing each other.
Amy gaped at Greg as he transformed and began to fight with the dark man. She couldn't believe it, her sworn protector had come home to her, and she could remember everything. As he transformed the images of her past flowed through her like a tidal wave, crashing into her mind with an unstoppable force that was nearly overwhelming.
But as she watched him fight her fear dissipated and her love rose. She stared at her handsome Mercury Knight, so much like herself. She knew she had to help him and with his transformation her strength grew. She rose from Darien's protective hold to her feet. He stood up to assist her but she brushed him away.
"No Darien, I must help him. We are a team, and we were long ago. I know that now, and I am no longer afraid. You must go help the Sailor Scouts, they need you." She said softly, she took out her transformation stick.
She was about to transform when she heard the screams of Anthony. She watched him bravely try to protect Mina, as the grotesque creatures descended upon her. She watched as Mina cried at his defeat and then gazed in wonder at his transformation, as well as Mina's, though she had seen Princess Venus before. She had to admit both were beautiful, as if the Goddess of Love herself had made them. They were golden figures that brightened the lives of the Sailor Soldiers.
She knew it was time to help so she decided not to waste anymore time. She held her transformation wand above her head and shouted:
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!!!"
She felt the pure, icy waters of her planet encircle her as her sailor outfit appeared in place of her normal clothes. She stood for a moment, analyzing the situation. She pressed her earring and her visor appeared while took out her mini-data computer.
"These monsters are extremely weak. They're definitely Queen Beryl's design. However, the man isn't a monster... he seems to be a general, much to the effect of Jedeite or Malachite. But he is much more powerful. We have to get him, and fast." Sailor Mercury stated matter of factly.
Darien smiled, same Mercury. She smiled at Darien and stepped forward just as Stealth was powering up to hit Greg...
"Hold it Nega-creep!" Mercury shouted. "Your goons hurt me before but it's not going to happen again! Let the Ice of Mercury stop you cold!" She finished stepping up to Greg's side.
Greg stared at Amy with surprise for a moment, but then smiled at her. He took her hand and they stood together to face Stealth. Around them the Sailor Soldiers and Venus Knight fought to keep the rest of the monsters at bay as Darien quickly joined them. Mercury Knight looked at Sailor Mercury and nodded, they began to power up.
"PLANET OF MERCURY, GIVE US YOUR WISDOM AND STRENGTH..." Greg began in a strong voice. A blue light began to form around their bodies. Sailor Mercury felt it and clutched Mercury Knight's hand tighter. Stealth backed up in surprise. Then they said together...
"MERCURY PLANET BLIZZARD..."
A ring of snow began to encircle them, much like Venus's love chain, but much more powerful. Blue light shone from their bodies while the sign of Mercury glowed from their heads fiercely.
"FREEZE!!!" they finished together.
The light and snow surged from their bodies. Stealth formed a barrier against it, but it did him no good. The snow turned into ice shards as it neared him and the force of Mercury was unstoppable! His shield shattered as the pieces made impact. He screamed as they pierced his skin and the pure energy of Mercury entered his body. He fell to the ground, clutching his wounds. His clothes were in tatters and black blood flowed from his body onto the ground. The lovers from Mercury turned to Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Moon, I believe it's your turn..." Sailor Mercury said, smiling at Mercury Knight, they had done it!
Sailor Moon nodded and readied her wand...
"MOON CRYSTAL THERAPY..." she began, aiming it at Stealth...
Stealth looked up at the bright shimmering form of Sailor Moon, knowing his fate. He staggered to his feet, screaming into the wind...
"YOU'LL NEVER DEFEAT US! WE'LL GET YOU! QUEEN MALICE ISN'T DONE! THE NEGAVERSE WILL NEVER DIE!"
Sailor Moon shook her head sadly, pitying the man. She finished her attack, closing her eyes. "KISS!!!"
Stealth watched the energy flow towards him and screamed into the Negaverse as he welcomed oblivion. Kitara heard him in her quarters, and readied another monster for later, vowing to destroy the Sailor Soldiers once and for all.
******************************************************************************
"Well, so much for the movies..." Serena said sadly. She was really disappointed.
"Don't worry meat-ball head. The night isn't over yet, and we have new members to welcome." Darien said, gesturing towards Greg and Anthony.
The boys blushed, but moved towards their newfound loves, happier than they had ever been. Lita and Raye watched them enviously. Lita turned away and began to walk home, alone, while Serena watched her with sad eyes. Raye followed suit, gently awakening Chad, and helping him towards Cherry Hill Temple.
Anthony looked at Mina, who observed him shyly, not really knowing what to say. He smiled at her. "Well what do you say? Shall I give you a ride home?" He asked grinning.
"Yes, we need to talk... My dear Venus Knight," she added with a smile.
Anthony laughed and led her to his car, opening the door for her. Mina got in, a huge grin on her face. Amy watched them go, and then looked at Greg, who smiled down at her.
"Should we go now too?" he asked.
"Yes, we definitely need to talk. I want to know how long you've known about being Mercury Knight." Amy said, looking at him curiously.
Greg's smile became uncomfortable and scratched his head nervously. "Well, I haven't known that long..." he began.
Amy smiled and took his hand. They started towards her house, leaning closer to each other as they went.
Serena and Darien watched them go, and then looked at each other happily, knowing everything was going to be great from now on. Darien took Serena into his arms and kissed her. They began to walk home, doing exactly what Darien had planned on the way to the movies.
******************************************************************************
Negaverse-
Kitara screamed angrily. She stomped around her quarters, yelling and cursing Stealth.
"Great, now I have to face Queen Malice. She's not going to like this. Sailor Mercury is now fully regenerated, two of the Sailor Knights have appeared, and Stealth is now gone! Queen Malice doesn't like to lose generals! I must try again before she finds out. The sailor soldiers must be defeated before she knows of my failure!" She screamed aloud.
She stood up and summoned her minion. "SCREAMER! Come forth!" she commanded.

'He's come,' Sailor Jupiter thought happily. 'But who is he?'

Jupiter Knight looked down at the tall girl lying at the monster's feet. His heart began to beat faster and he suddenly had the urge to hold the girl and never let her go. He shook his head, what was the matter with him? He only cared for Lita. Why was this girl so important? He cleared his head. The Sailor Soldier wasn't important now, only the defeat of this monster mattered. He powered up for his first attack...
"JUPITER LIGHTENING SWORD...." he raised the sword towards the heavens, and lightening crashed into its blade. The power surged through it until the sword seemed as if it was going to shatter with the electricity.
"ELECTRIFY!!!!" he screamed bringing the sword down!
Sailor Jupiter watched as the attack connected with the monster, causing it to fly back and crash into the wall. It stood up holding its smoking side, and Sailor Jupiter noticed dark green blood poured from the wound. She grimaced as the same rancid smell invaded her nostrils. The monster glared at her and the new knight with rage. Her yellow eyes glowed with hatred as she turned on Sailor Jupiter.
"Leveler! Take care of the man! I've got to teach these shockers not to mess with the power of my sound waves!" she shouted, maneuvering towards Sailor Jupiter. The second monster nodded and ran at Jupiter Knight. Before he could react, she picked him up with her hands and began to squeeze him. He screamed! It felt as if his ribs were going to crack! Leveler laughed wickedly.
Sailor Jupiter ran towards Jupiter Knight, attempting to rescue him when she was knocked to the ground as Screamer opened her mouth again. It took all her strength to get into a standing position. She glared at Screamer angrily.
"SHUT-UP! Or better yet, I'll silence your evil forever!" She shouted, raising her arms above her head.
"JUPITER THUNDER DRAGON...." An Oriental style dragon suddenly appeared, sparkling and crackling with lightening...
"ATTACK!!!"
The dragon came towards the monster with amazing speed and flew through her as it made contact. Screamer stared at Sailor Jupiter unbelievingly as its energy began to drain. She could feel herself dying and she knew oblivion was soon...
"NO! I will not let this storm child defeat me! If I must go down you must go down with me! Prepare for the end sailor girl!"
The monster began to glow with dark energy and ran at Sailor Jupiter with terrifying speed. Sailor Jupiter screamed and tried to turn to avoid the monster, but tripped on a piece of rubble! She tried to scramble away, but it was too late... The monster was already upon her, arms spread wide and mouth open, dark energy spraying its entire body. Lita screamed and covered herself, preparing for the pain and maybe the end....
******************************************************************************
Jupiter Knight continued to struggle with the monster, trying desperately to break its hold on him, but it was not letting up. He looked over at the brave girl who suddenly powered up and released an amazing attack at the monster, hurting it badly. 'That's it,' he thought, 'this fight is over.'
But it wasn't. The monster suddenly charged at the girl, black energy emitting from it in amazingly strong waves. Even from his distance he winced at its power. 'It's going to try to kill her,' he thought. 'Get out of there!' He pleaded in his mind.
He saw the girl try to get out of the way, screaming as she did, but then she tripped! The monster was there and was going to kill her! He had to help and fast! He suddenly looked back at the monster that was holding him as she was staring at the end of her sister. It looked shocked. He grinned and began to laugh. The monster turned its attention back to him with a questioning look written on its ugly face.
"You wanted to mess with me, now you have to pay." he said, and raised his head to the sky.
"JUPITER PLANET SHOCK!!!" he screamed.
The sign of Jupiter began to glow on his forehead. A sudden flash of green erupted from the sky and a blast of electricity coursed through Levelers body! She let out a scream of rage and fell to the ground shaking and cursing.
'There's no time to finish her,' he thought. 'I must get the girl.' He ran towards Sailor Jupiter quick as lightening and managed to get therre just as the monster reached her. Much in the style of Tuxedo Mask, he whisked her away in his arms, landing a safe distance from the monster- who in her rage had lost much of her energy. He glanced at the sailor girl, who stood ready to finish it off. He nodded and joined her.
"JUPITER ELECTRIC CURRENT...." they began together...
Lita looked at Jupiter Knight, realizing she was doing a new attack, one not known to her, but one so familiar...
"BLAST!!!" they finished together!
Screamer looked up as the two figures unleashed an enormous amount of lightening. The blast boomed with noise that would've blown away any of her attacks. She welcomed her death, knowing Kitara would've been very angry at her failure.
'Oh well,' she thought. 'Leveler and Twister still have a chance to defeat them. Kitara will hold me responsible, not them.'
******************************************************************************
Twister stared unbelievingly as the two humans destroyed her sister. She looked over at Leveler, who was sprawled on the ground, still twitching from the young man's attack, but still alive. Her lips pulled back in a horrible snarl. She walked towards the two humans that stood together, ready to fight. She stopped in front of them, tossed her long white hair over her shoulders. She glared at them angrily, but a trifled uncertain.
'This isn't a good idea,' she thought. 'I cannot walk into this like my sister did. I must know more about them. This battle cannot be won without knowing my enemy.' She stepped back. 'I must get out of here. Good thing Screamer took the mission and not I. She will be held responsible for the failure, while Kitara will give us another chance.' She made her way towards Leveler and stood over her. She turned towards the two soldiers.
"Enjoy your victory sailor brats, just remember next time you won't be so lucky. Remember, now it's personal. We will be back." she called to them. She looked down at her sister. "Come Leveler, we will fight again, another time, another place. We will avenge our brave sister Screamer..."
Sailor Jupiter and Jupiter Knight watched as she began to spin, her hair whirling around till she was only a blur. The huge gorilla like form of Leveler rose into the air with her and suddenly they were gone. The wind settled with them.
Sailor Jupiter looked at Jupiter Knight and suddenly spoke. "Excuse me, I hope you don't think I'm rude, but who exactly are you?" she asked curiously.
Jupiter Knight smiled at her directness under his mask. He walked over to the girl and kissed her cheek. She smiled and touched the spot softly.
"I am Jupiter Knight, a friend of the Sailor Soldiers and a sworn enemy of the Negaverse. I cannot reveal my true identity to you, but I will be here any time you need me. Farewell." He said gallantly, and rose into the air. There was a flash of green and he was gone.
Lita watched the sky, expecting to see him appear again, but nothing happened. 'I wish I knew who you were,' she thought. 'Are you my true love like Mercury and Venus Knight are to Amy and Mina?'
But to this she had no answers, and by the time the scouts had managed to get to the battle scene, Lita was already smitten with the green-clad stranger.
