DISCLAIMER: We own nothing.
ETERNAL FROST – PART THREE
As Ami sat down and opened her book, she heard a noise.
'Maybe it was the wind,' she said to herself, not really believing herself.
Just to reassure herself, the girl turned on the television to drown out the outdoors noises.
"In other news today, we have just received an update about the whereabouts of the serial rapist that is loose in Tokyo," said the anchorwoman, "To all the young girls and women out there, we strongly advise you stay indoors at night until the attacker is apprehended."
She began reading again, not really listening to the flashing box of noise and colors, but there was another sound, followed by an even louder one.
Scared and unnerved (partly because of the news update), Ami crept up the stairs to see what it was.
"Whoever is up there, I demand that you come out this instant. Have you no sanity to enter another human beings home without notice and then scare them like this? I'm warning you: you had better come out!" shouted Ami, in a quite complex voice.
Ami tiptoed to the guestroom window. It was open, and freezing air was flowing through.
"I don't understand, it is summer, but it is freezing, and the son just set. So it should be warm still..." she said aloud, mainly to hear her own voice in the silence.
She glanced around the room one more time to see if she missed anything. Perceiving nothing, Ami shut the window and went back to the door and out of the room.
A strong gust of wind blew her bluish-black hair into her face. She shivered and turned around again, only to see that the window was still closed. But the odd thing was, the curtains were billowing softly, as if in a sweet spring breeze.
"What on Earth is going on?" she demanded out loud, striding forcefully back to the window to make absolutely sure it was closed.
It was... and through the glass, Ami saw a strange thing.
"W-What is that?" she questioned to the dark, while staring at sparkling white smog flowing across the city floor, into all the houses and buildings.
'There was no time to call for the other scouts. Serena was grounded and would get into even more trouble if she sneaked out. Lita had that big cook off thing tomorrow, Rei had gone to the sacred temple to meditate and increase her stamina. As for Mina, she was probably off stalking some celebrity, gods help her. So, I have to go on my own. I'll find the cause of this problem and fix it!' she thought to herself
Ami power-walked, trying not to look too suspicious, she didn't want to transform because she did not know this would turn out so serious.
Ami was following the trail of smog up the mountain, to the edge of the forest, when someone stopped her with an arm looped tightly about her waist..
"Who are you?" she squeaked in terror, struggling franticly to get out of the person's grasp.
A man's voice answered, making her blood freeze in her veins. It was on the news, something about a man in the area kidnapping and raping women. She saw the story on TV, just a few minutes ago.
"You do not know me, and you will not see me again."
She began to fight harder at the restraining arm around her, her heart thundering deafeningly in her chest. Breathing became a chore and she was forced to remember how.
"Let me go!" she pushed against the man and was surprised when she nearly fell to the ground, free. "W-what do you want?"
Ami looked up at her attacker but couldn't see his face. His robes were tattered, stained and torn. The threadbare purple fabric seemed to be on its last legs. An overly large and droopy hood covered the visible part of man's pale face.
"This fog is causing love to rot and become putrid. This world cannot survive without passion and tenderness. The breaking of hearts shall become inevitable and the world will develop into a cold, dreary, dark and gray prison. If the Sailor Scouts cannot do something about it, there will be an Eternal Frost!" the man explained, mystically, as he began to disappear into the forest.
"But wait! How do I-"she was cut off by a swish of wind, and was alone once more.
With his words in, mind Ami remembered the couple that was fighting on her way to Serena's.
Still pondering the mystery man's riddle, Ami continued to the top. When she got there, she noticed there were doors. She tried to open them, but they wouldn't budge.
"STOP! IN THE NAME OF THE LAW OF JASMINE!" a shrill voice shrieked at her
Ami spun around in time to see a trio of white-clad silhouettes flying at her out of the trees. She yelled in surprise and ducked, just as they let loose a terrible wave of freezing energy waves. The girl raised her head from the ground and tried to roll away, but she couldn't dodge the next volley of attacks.
Ami was hit with the blasts. She could see the figures charging at her...
She was cold and alone...
A deafening "KABOOM!" split the air and the creatures were hit with a beaming yellow light. Ami could see three other figures as she stood up slowly.
"Uranus World Shaking!," A small spark of golden energy formed in the air and Sailor Uranus raised her hand and grabbed it in her clutch as she said this phrase forming a large golden planet. She then slammed the planet into the ground and it dug up the ground making tracks toward the enemy until it slammed into them with tremendous force.
"Ami, you're not alone, now transform and get ready for a blast!" exclaimed Uranus, as Neptune and Pluto stood by ready to battle.
"Right!" she nodded her head and stood up straight.
"Mercury Star Power!" Ami yelled, holding up her blue power stick. The sign of Mercury glowed inside the cerulean crystal encased in a star, started spinning and placed itself on top of Ami's transformation stick. The Mercury sign flashed brightly, and Sailor Mercury's energy appeared, surrounding her with what looked like transparent blue ribbon. The ribbons tightened around her body, then snapped, leaving Ami dressed in a blue Sailor outfit.
"Get ready!" yelled Pluto, raising her immense silver key. "We have company!"
About two dozen more creatures came out of the mountain attacking with their blast spheres.
"Neptune Deep Submerge!" Sailor Neptune held both arms straight up above her head. A large aqua colored energy formed in her hands, taking the shape of a planet, and large waves of water splashed up at her sides. Then she threw her arm forward sending the blast at the enemy.
Half of the creatures perished, but then more were formed.
"Mercury Ice Bubbles ...Freeze!" An orb of blue energy appeared in her arms and started spinning, building power. She crossed her arms while the orb grew larger, and flung her arms open. The action sent an enormous fog of frigid ice to hit the enemy, freezing them in their tracks.
All of the creatures were encased in a glacier of Mercurial ice.
"Let me do the honors" said Pluto as she shouted, "Pluto Deadly Scream!"
Smoke twisted and turned from the Garnet Orb atop Pluto's rod. She whispered these few words and a bright purple-red globe of energy formed from the orb. She brought it in front of her and blasted it forth at the enemy.
And with that, all of the frozen corpses were destroyed, the fog had stopped, and everything seemed all right.
As they went to walk away Amara said, "Wait! This isn't the way o--"
But it was too late for her warning.
The giant steel doors opened and they were sucked inside, the door slammed shut, and they were trapped.
