AN: Here's the big fight! Enjoy, my peoples!
Chapter Three.
"Amara, where are you going?" Michelle asked as they snuck off around the corners and corridors of the old house.
"To see what's in that wine seller." She told her cousin. "Something fishy is going on here in this house, I can feel it, and we're going to find out what." When they were sure that no one was watching them they ducked quickly in through the wine seller door and walked stealthily down the stairs.
"Oh my gosh!" Michelle exclaimed then they came to the bottom and beheld the crystal caverns in all their beauty.
"This is major." Amara said walking over to the computer console.
"This proves it. They are the Guardians." Michelle said.
"This proves that they're not just regular people but I don't see how it proves that they're from the Moon kingdom." Amara argued.
"Come on, Amara, what else could convince you. They are the Guardians and they're here to help us. Look at all this fabulous technology from back home. Don't you remember the old Crystal Control Center where we fought the last battle of the Moon?"
"I admit that it does look deceptively like home." Amara admitted. "But let's not jump to any conclusions until we've checked everything out thoroughly"
Then, they heard from behind them, singing. Their eyes widened as the familiar melody graced their ears:
Sun and stars, Moon and sky
Guide me on through the night.
Sight beyond sight, years beyond years
Ever loyal, ever true!
Beloved Moon, guide me on…
They turned around and they stood there; Jeremy, Kat, and Jim, all three. As they sang the song of the Moon again, three crystals glowed. The shards hung on necklaces they each wore, and for a brief moment, Amara and Michelle saw their true forms. Jeremy was taller then ever, his face covered by a thick beard. Kat was a tall woman with a regal air about her. And Jim, though still younger then his fellow Captains, was the warrior he truly was. All three were dressed in splendid armor, with long billowing capes on their shoulders, and their insignias- Crimson, Silver, and Gold- were etched into their breastplates. Then, just as suddenly as the vision appeared, it was gone, and three youths stood before them again.
"So quick to judge," Jeremy said seriously. "Do you believe now?"
"How could you remember that song…?" Amara said, crying. "I didn't even know the words until now. My entire life, all I've known was the melody…"
"Because they were the ones who wrote it." said Trista as she descended the stairs. "They were the first to serve…They are the Captains. The Guardians. And I was their student. I remember you being taller, ma'am," she said to Kat.
"I was a different person, then." she replied.
"Not so much. Gold is still best behaved of you three."
"He also used to wet the bed," Jeremy muttered.
"Bro!" Jim said, blushing.
"And you still don't know when to be serious." she said to Jeremy.
"You never could take a joke, Pluto. Its true, I grew a bit cynical in my old age."
"What's your excuse now?" Kat said, crossing her arms.
"If you are done," Amara said, "Then please show us around this incredible facility."
"Alright, where to begin?" Jeremy said, clasping his hands. "This is the control room, over there is the bio-med scanner, and that room over there, is the training room."
"That's my department," Kat said. "I developed the system as mix of holograms, V. R. simulation, and gymnastics. Other than that, we use the weight training room upstairs. But this room helps us figure out attack strategy in real time reaction."
"Give her enough time, she'll never stop talking about it," Jim said.
---------------------------
A short time later, when they had concluded the tour of all the Crystal Caverns had to offer, the six new allies returned to the party upstairs. They found the other Scouts in quite a state. Lita had a table set up and was arm wrestling guys one at a time, Mina was flirting with every college aged guy in sight, while Rei held Serena's head while the poor girl threw up into a potted plant.
"I think I need some tea," Jeremy said, heading towards the kitchen.
"I think I'm gonna get in on some of this action," Jim said, rolling up his sleeves, heading for the arm wrestling table.
"Be careful Jim," Michelle said. "She really likes you."
"She'll either tear off your arm or let you win," Amara told him.
"I'll get the mop," Kat sighed as she looked at the mess around them.
----------------------------
Outside the mansion, the Techno Sage loomed in the sky overhead, with his Neutron Cannon, powered by the Neutron Dynamo, ready to bring down his foes.
"Ready the Cannon!" he commanded his Mecha-Ninjas. They aimed the weapon at the estate and flipped all the switches to green.
"FIRE!!!!!" he shouted. The fantastical weapon shot out a blazing projectile of light and energy, which surely should have struck its intended target, if it had not been for the fact that the Guardians' home was shielded by a dome of crystalline energy. The force-field rippled as it was struck, and though it absorbed the main force of the blow, the ground still shook violently from the impact.
----------------------------
The guests inside felt the ground rumble and shake beneath their feet. Many fell, frightened by the sudden earthquake, others started running in panic out the doors and into the garden.
"What's going on?" Serena said as she and the Scouts ran out into the front yard.
"It's the Techno Sage," Darien said, "We're under attack!"
"But that's impossible!" Amy said, "He doesn't know who we are!"
"But he knows who we are," Jim said as he and his siblings stepped outside.
"Just who are you anyway?" Serena asked.
The three stood still. Jeremy held out his right arm, holding a crystal shard in his hand. The shard glowed bright red, and a red light enveloped his body. In seconds he had turned into the Crimson Guardian. Kat held her right arm high, and a silver light covered her from head to toe as she turned into the Silver Guardian. And Jim held his arm straight out in front as he was covered in golden light, and transformed into the Golden Guardian.
The Sailor Scouts were amazed. They stood frozen as they looked at the Guardians in shock, disbelief, and utter confusion.
"Why are their transformations cooler than ours?" Serena whined. "They can't be cooler than us!"
"Makes my dumb old rose look pretty pathetic," Darien said.
"Then try these," Crimson said. They drew out several crystal chains and tossed them to the Scouts.
As each Sailor Scout held a crystal, the gems glowed and they called out the names of their patron planet. In a vast kaleidoscope of color and light, they transformed.
"Wow! These crystals are amazing!" Said Sailor Venus as she and the Scouts checked out their brighter and more vibrant uniforms.
"Hey! What about us?" Serena and Rini said.
"You've already got you own crystals," Sailor Mars said, peeved.
"Oh, right!" Serena said, "Moon Heart Crystal Power!" she and Rini called. And with flashes of pink light, they became Sailor Moon and Mini Moon. Serena looked at her Wand, but it had changed! "Hey," she said, "My wand is made of Crystal!"
Darien held up his crystal, and as he was covered in white light, he transformed into Tuxedo Mask, but now, he had no top hat, and his cape rested on armor shoulder plates.
"You look much better, your majesties," Gold said to them.
"I'm tired of your theatrics!" cried out the Techno Sage. "Prepare to die!!"
"He can't harm us with the shield up, can he?" Silver asked Crimson.
"I'm pretty sure," he replied. "But all the same, we'd better stop him."
Gold turned to the Scouts, and said, "Sailor Scouts, are you ready to face the greatest evil known to man kind?"
"Always!" Sailor Jupiter responded.
"ENOUGH IDLE NONSENSE!" screamed the Techno Sage as he aimed his cannon directly at them. He pulled a switch, and fired at them again, but they leaped away as the neutron beam ripped through the shield and struck the ground outside the house. It left a smoking crater where the Scouts had stood seconds before.
"Wow," Sailor Moon said, "That thing could really singe my hair!"
"Focus!" shouted the Silver Guardian. "Some princess you turned out to be," she said as Mecha-Ninjas descended from the sky. The Scouts and Guardians ran along the expansive roof top of the mansion as they dodged laser shots and poisoned shurikens. "Concentrate on blasting those things!" she shouted as she turned and sliced the head off a Ninja with her dagger.
"But how?" Shouted Sailor Mercury as she leaped onto the roof of the gazebo.
"Find the power within!" shouted Crimson.
"Use the righteous fury!" called Gold.
"Righteous what?!" shouted Sailor Jupiter. Just then, she was faced with a Ninja. She was about to use her Thunder Clap, but a second Mecha Ninja was sneaking up on her.
"Jupiter!" screamed Mercury. Then, by instinct, she raised her arms and shouted, "Mercury Ice Crystals!" and between her fingers appeared long, icy blue, dagger like shards. She threw them at the Ninjas, and the ice crystals impaled the faces, arms, and backs of Jupiter's attackers.
"Wow!" was all Jupiter could say as she and Mercury joined back up to help Venus and Mars. Mars had discovered the Dragon's Fire Arrows, and was shooting them left and right at their enemies whist Venus threw the Stars of Light. Meanwhile, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto were cutting down, smashing, and blasting away Mecha Ninjas by the dozen with their newly empowered saber, mirror, and key. And as Tuxedo Mask drew out his cane, it transformed into a samurai sword, with roses engraved down the side of the blade. During all this time, Sailors Moon and Mini Moon were handling things in their own fashion; they were running around screaming while the Ninjas chased them, and smashed into each other.
"Is she for real?" Crimson asked, referring to Sailor Moon.
"Afraid so," replied Mars. Then, as the Techno Sage fired again, the Crimson Guardian jumped up and slashed at the Sage with his Sword of Light, and the Sage repelled the attack with his Dark Sword.
"Amusing, but your new toys do not make any difference." said the Sage as he stared Crimson down.
"No, but maybe this will!" Sailor Moon said, standing atop the laser. "Now let's see," she said, bending down over the controls, "What do these do?" she pushed button over button, switched every switch off and on in an erratic succession until the controls lit up, sputtered, and smoked.
"No! Stop that, what are you doing?!!?!" screamed the Sage as he continued his duel, "You'll overload the cannon and kill us all!!!"
"Sorry, can't hear you," Sailor Moon said with a smile as she continued to mess around with buttons and switches. Then, she and the Crimson Guardian leaped down from the cannon to the ground.
"Do your thing, Silver!" Crimson shouted as the Scouts met together in the stables.
"I'm on it!" she replied as she brought her arms down. As her wrists touched, from her hands came The Silver Starlight Shield, engulfing them, and protecting them as the cannon burst apart in a fiery, chaotic explosion of energy, which cracked and shattered the clay half of the Techno Sage's mask, and threw him to the ground. As the debris smoked on the ground, the Guardians looked at their foe's face.
"Is that-?" Silver said, sounding afraid.
"The Onyx Crystal," said Gold. It was embedded in the Techno Sage's forehead, and then, he removed the cracked, and sparking cybernetic half of the mask. His horridly disfigured face was revealed to them.
"Now you see me as I truly am," he said, his voice low with pure malice. "This is not the end, Sailor Scouts," he said, reaching up with his hand, "Nor for you, Guardians. Far from it. You will soon meet your deaths. And I will relish it." With that, he swirled and twisted up into a black orb, and floated away into the sky, far from sight.
------------------------------
"So you guys are the Guardians," Serena said quite seriously after they had turned back into their normal selves. They now sat in the mansion, alone amidst the post party/battle mess.
"Yeah, who'd have thunk it?" Kat said as she sat on the edge of the pool table.
"Looks like we're in for a lot," said Darien, as he rose from his seat. "What I don't understand is, who is this Techno Sage, and what is he after?"
"That's just it," Jeremy said, leaning against the far wall of the billiard room. "We don't know. He showed up back in America not long ago and started robbing electronics wearhouses. We fought him, but every time, he adapted his hench-bots so they could beat us."
"We finally had to combine our mental and technological resources to create better weapons, and upgrade what we already had," said Jim. "But even then, we were still no match."
"So, we decided to search for the Moon Princess and her court," Kat continued. "We did pretty much everything, but nothing worked. Until we sent a message over cyberspace. That's when we got an anonymous response that originated here, in Japan. It sent news clippings of you guys, The Sailor Scouts. So we figured you were somewhere here."
"And then it was just a matter of time before we packed our bags and flew on over," said Jeremy. "Now we're all here, and the rest is history."
"But what do we do now?" asked Amy. "I have to admit, we are untrained to fight someone this powerful."
"Leave that to me," said Kat. "I am the best there is."
"You?" Serena asked, skeptical, "You're barely older than most of us."
"But she trained me," Trista said. "And the truth is, she was basis for the Scout program. All your techniques, and the idea of an elite force of female warriors originated from her and her strategies."
"Cool, so you're kinda the first Sailor Scout," Lita said.
"Eh, more or less," Kat said with a smirk.
"There's just one thing that bothers me about all of this," Jeremy said.
"What's that, bro?" Jim asked.
"I still haven't gotten your phone number," Jeremy said as he leaned in, and looked earnestly at Amy. She backed away from him nervously.
"Did you ever find out who sent that e-mail?" Darien asked.
"We might be able to answer that," said Luna as she, Artemis, and Diana jumped out from Rini's discarded backpack from earlier that evening. "Forgive us for the secrecy, but we were hoping beyond hope that we had found you, after our own long search."
"And we didn't want to give away any important information that might have out any of you in jeopardy." Artemis added.
"So you little sneaks are still around, eh?" said Jeremy.
"We've been wandering when you would show your whiskers, you old busy body," said Kat as she bent down to give Luna's head a scratch.
"Geez, how old are you two?" Jim said as he picked up Diana. "And where did this kitten come from?"
"My time," Rini answered.
"Which poses more interesting questions," Jeremy said. "But it's beyond late, and I have meeting tomorrow."
"Oh, geez!" Kat said, "Can't you take a day off?"
"Time is money, although money is certainly not time," Jeremy said. "Anywho, shouldn't you kiddies be off home?"
"No way!" Serena said, jumping up, "I wanna see the rest of this house!"
"A sleepover!" Jeremy said, clapping his hands, and grinning from ear to ear, "Capital idea! I know who my bunk buddy is," he said, looking over at Amy. She blushed as Kat walked over to her brother and led him away.
"You are going upstairs. They will sleep in the east wing."
"Ow OW! Sis, come on! You're gonna cause permanent damage!" he whined as she dragged him up the stairs.
"You're already permanently damaged," she replied.
"How did I get born into this family?" Jim sighed as he walked upstairs to fetch some extra sheets for their guests.
