Chapter 12
Battle with Voltaire
@@@@ Dream sequence @@@@
We see a 4-year-old Ami being dragged into a hallway after a supposed failure in a Beyblade match against someone. Then, she was continued being dragged into a dungeon of some sort. After being tossed into a cell, the guard locked the gate behind him, leaving the little girl in total darkness. Then, when he was gone, 5 pairs of lustful eyes stared at her. Ami gulped nervously and backed against the wall. 5 soldiers, obviously sex- derived, stepped out into the moonlight. Ami's eyes widened in fear. Before she knew it, her clothes were ripped apart, leaving her naked. Ami barely had the time to scream when they descended on her.
A couple of hours later, the deed was done and the soldiers fell asleep, leaving behind a sobbing Ami against the wall.
@@@@ End of dream sequence @@@@
Ami woke up, sweat dripping down her forehead. "Why, why did that dream can back and haunt me again?" she wondered. Looking down, Ami gently smiled at her sleeping fiancé. Brushing back his frontal bangs, Ami regarded the dream once again. Slipping out of bed, Ami redressed and took out her Mercurian book. Opening the seal, she took out the Cards.
"Mistress, why do you call upon us at this moment?" the Light card questioned.
Ami smiled mentally at the hikari card. "My friends, I need you right now to tell me about this dream I had just now."
The card nodded silently, giving its consent.
"We will try our best, mistress." the card assured her.
"Thank you." Ami mentally responded back.
Ami shuffled the cards with her left hand. Then, she uses her left hand to make 3 parts. After she did this, she used her left hand to stack them, making a diamond-shaped set up with the cards - 3 in the middle row, 2 in the 2nd and 4th rows, and one at the top and bottom. She arranged the rest of the cards, starting from the top and then moving down and to the left. Then, she closed her eyes. After chanting the incantation, Ami's eyes widened at the revelation the cards made. "No, it can't be." she muttered. "He can't be back."
"We're sorry, mistress. It seems that your nightmare is reliving itself all over again." the Light card comforted the distressed Mercurian princess.
"Ames? What's wrong?" Ray had gotten up, looking groggily at the lone figure at the window. Wrapping his arms around her, Ray felt Ami stiffen. Glancing down at the card display before him, Ray gasped. "So, he's back, huh?' he questioned softly. Ami nodded. Turning to Ray, Ami plastered on a smile, "You do realize you're still naked, right?" she teased. Ray blushed and immediately let go of her. Scooping up his clothes, he went into the bathroom to change.
@@@@ The next day @@@@
The entire team had the whole day off, since they had already entered the finals after their win the previous day. At breakfast, Tyson had glared accusingly at Ray. "The both of you were doing IT last night, won't you?" Ray blushed and nodded. Ami shrugged, "I wasn't the only one, cousin. Besides, I wasn't the one screaming so loud that the whole of Russia could be woken up." Tyson glared back at Ami, a blush creeping up his cheeks. Kai snickered, remembering how Tyson had screamed in pleasure last night. The other 3 members of the team blinked, thinking, how in the heavens did Ami make a comeback like that?
Turning on a serious face, Ami turned to Kai. "Kai, he's back." she stated with a straight face. "He?" Kai questioned. Ami shot him a you-know-who look. Kai's eyes widened, "No way. I thought he was given life imprisonment." Ami shook her head, "Apparently, he found a way to escape. Now, he's after me again." The rest of the team, with the exception of Ray, gasped. Voltaire was back, and he was after one of the most powerful warriors in the universe. "So, what are we doing to do about it?" Tyson asked. 4 bumps appeared on his head a second later, for stating the obvious question.
Chucking silently at the sight of Tyson nursing his wounds, Ami replied, "I'm the one he is after. Therefore, I will be the one to deal with him, personally." Standing up, Ami said, "I know where he is, so don't follow me. I'm going to do this my way." Ray stood up along with her. Grabbing her wrist, Ray pulled Ami towards him. "Let me go with you, Ames. You know you can't do this alone." he said. Ami shook her head. Caressing his cheek, she replied, "I know what I'm doing. I'm that one he wants. I simply can't let anyone of you to get involved in this." Kissing him gently, Ami mouthed, "Forgive me." With that, she strolled off, leaving an open-mouthed, but very worried Ray behind. The rest of the team merely nodded, completely trusting her to deal with this once and for all.
Walking to nearby forest, Ami came to a cluster of trees. Raising her transformation glove, she said, "Traveling trees, I request you to take me to the person called Voltaire Hiwatari." The four trees glowed a magic shine. "We recognize the Mercurian symbol. We will do as you wish, Princess of Mercury." their voices boomed. A portal gate opened in front of her. Ami henshined into Universal Sailor Mercury and stepped into the portal.
The portal reopened on the other side and Universal Sailor Mercury stepped out. Wincing at the familiar place, Universal Sailor Mercury sighed, why did she have to arrive here, out of all places. Tapping on her earring, her visor appeared and she scanned the area.
A shadow whizzed behind her and Universal Sailor Mercury went on the defensive. Cursing herself for not bringing her cards, Universal Sailor Mercury knew she could only rely on her upgraded powers to help her. Forming a diamond with her arms above her head, she shouted, " Mercury . . . Reveal!" A ball of blue light shot into the air, surrounding the area in mist. The intruder was immediately brought in front of her. Universal Sailor Mercury frowned. The solitude looked very familiar.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't our little escape artist 10 years ago." Boris truanted.
Universal Sailor Mercury smirked, "Long time no see, Boris. I see you are still Voltaire's lackey."
"Enough talk, come with me peacefully or else." Boris warned.
"Or else what, Boris? You forget that I'm the one with magic around here." Universal Sailor Mercury truanted.
"Says who." Boris quirked an eyebrow, before transforming into Jadeite.
"I see Beryl has unfrozen you." Universal Sailor Mercury stated.
"Yes, she has, under the requests of King Endymion." Jadeite replied.
"Please be reminded that I'm in my Universal form right now, Jadeite." Universal Sailor Mercury said.
"And I also have a power up, Mercury, just for your information."
Throwing a random dark energy ball at the scout, Jadeite was surprised to see that Mercury had easily dodged the attack. Her reflexes, as quick as lightning, had him stunned for a moment. Taking the advantage, Mercury slipped behind Jadeite without him knowing. "You know, even with your power- up, you're still as pathetic as before." she whispered into his ear. Jadeite's head snapped back at the voice. In the meantime, Mercury powered up a light ball in her hand.
Then, she forced the ball into Jadeite. Jadeite screamed in pain when the ball entered him. "Go back to your master, Jadeite. You are not worth my time." Mercury told him icily. Jadeite struggled back to the Dark world in pain. Jadeite exploded in a flash of light even before he reached the gates of Darkness, leaving behind a human shell known otherwise as Boris. Mercury smirked, the ball of light was designed specifically to destroy any evildoers once it entered their bodies, killing them from the inside.
Scanning her surroundings, Mercury detected another disturbance. An entire troop of youma soldiers were heading towards her. Frowning, Mercury realized that Jadeite had called upon them before he left. Muttering curses in ancient Mercurian, Mercury readied herself for battle.
"Mercury Aqua Tsunami!" It is an upgrade from her Mercury Aqua Mirage attack and it is more powerful. The first 2 waves of youmas were destroyed. However, the youmas kept coming. "Shine Blizzard Illusion" this is another upgrade from her Shine Snow Illusion (manga by the way). Shards of ices dashed towards the youmas, pinning most of them to the walls, killing some of them along the way. "Grr. . . This is ruining my reputation." Mercury growled. Deciding to use one of her most powerful attack, Mercury formed the Mercurian harp upon her hand. Shutting her eyes, Mercury played a haunting song. The youmas froze, unable to move. The song tempo started to increase in speed. Then, all of a sudden, Mercury snapped her eyes open, sending a massive number of icicle arrows at the youmas. Each one of the arrows hit its target right on, dispelling every single youma out of existence.
Kneeling down on one knee, Mercury panted slightly. The previous attack had taken quite a lot out of her. Gritting her teeth, she stood up, determined to find Voltaire and to end this. She did not have to look, for Voltaire had appeared before her, his soulless eyes boring into the scout of ice. Mercury frowned, this was the one single man who caused her the heartache she suffered when she was little.
"You've finally returned to my side, my ice princess. Come with me and we will rule the world together."
Mercury scoffed, "And what makes you think I will, Voltaire, or shall I say, Diamond."
Voltaire smirked, before transforming into Diamond. "Very smart, Mercury. Your senses are as sharp as they say."
"I know what your intentions are, Diamond. You were obsessed with Serenity, not because of her beauty, but because of her power. You figured that once you have converted the most powerful senshi, you could use her powers to plunge the entire universe in darkness. And now, you found out that I'm the most powerful senshi, not Serenity." Mercury said.
"Right again, Mercury. And I also know that if it weren't for that underhand attack the First Moon King cast at your grandfather, you would have become the Moon Princess, instead of that pathetic Serena. Join me, and we will have our revenge on the ditzy girl you call the Moon hime." Diamond encouraged her.
"How about, over my dead body, Diamond. I know the inners were already converted by Endymion. Therefore, there is no point in 'having me take revenge on Serenity.' Enough talk, Diamond, let's battle."
"I really hate to see that it has to end in this manner. Since you want a fight, I'll give you one."
Poised to attack, both opponents faced each other.
Firing a lightning bolt at Mercury, Diamond blinks in surprise when he saw the attack hitting the ground, missing Mercury completely. Growling in frustration, Diamond looked around to find the missing senshi.
"Mercury." Mercury pulled her arm behind her. A blob of ice/water formed in her hand. "Ice." Thrusting the water/ice ball at Diamond's back, a dragon's head appeared in the front of the ball. "Dragon!" The dragon of ice spiraled toward Diamond, freezing him on immediate contact. Struggling to break free, Diamond heard a "Mercury Aqua Tsunami!"
Freed from the ice, he was slammed into the wall. Wiping blood off his lips, Diamond complimented, "Not bad. Now I see that the inners made a terrible mistake in thinking that you were the weakest senshi. Nobody has ever been able to dodge my attack and fire 2 attacks without me knowing. I must comment you. You are fast. Looks like you've inherited Hermes' speed as well."
"As Universal Sailor Mercury, my powers have exceeded those of Neptune's. Furthermore, in this form, I have a few finishing attacks on my own." Mercury informed Diamond.
Shutting her eyes, Mercury chanted a incantation, clasping her hands in front of her chest.
"Protectors of the Milky Way, lend me your aid."
A silver white aura surrounded her.
"I, the crown princess and elemental scout of Mercury requests this."
A gale of wind blew towards Diamond, rendering him motionless.
"Help to vanquish the evil inside of the person before me. I, Sailor Mercury, beg for this."
Then, her head was tilted back. A pure blue light beam shot up into the sky from her tiara jem. Mercury was lifted in the air, as if in a trance. A scepter appeared in her hand. Whirling the scepter around herself, Universal Sailor Mercury shouted, "Shabon Healing!"
A mist of water glittered over Diamond, its healing powers starting to take effect. Diamond screamed in pain as the evil and darkness that had overtaken him begun to dispel. Soon after, Diamond collapsed on all fours on the ground, panting. Mercury landed gently on the floor, breaking out of her trance in the process. Glancing from the new scepter in her hand to the reformed Diamond, Mercury smiled. Kneeling down beside Diamond, Mercury asked, "Are you all right?"
Diamond looked up at the ice-blue suited scout and nodded. "You'd better go. Endymion will kill me once he finds out that I've been cured." Diamond warned the scout. Mercury shook her head, "I'm not leaving." Diamond argued back, "I'm willing to face the music and whatever Endymion throws at me. Now, GO!" Forming a teleportation ball of energy in his hand, Diamond blasted Mercury back through the portal, landing her in the cluster of Traveling Trees.
