Chapter twelve: Their Worst Nightmares

The clone of Serena turned into a rabbit-like Nightmare and Darien's became a joker Nightmare. "Well our nightmares don't seem that threatening." said Serena.

"Kinda embarrassing for us really." said Darien.

"What?!" said the Rabbit. "Not that threatening?!"

"You're gonna regret clowning around with us!" said the Joker.

"Trust me." said Scorpio. "These nightmares are just as dangerous as the ones your comrades are fighting."

"You mean..."

"That's right your friends are fighting their own nightmares as well!"

###

Greg's nightmare was the shadow he became when a rainbow crystal was removed from him and Amy's was a penguin nightmare. "Remember me?" said the Shadow.

"Unfortunately." said Greg.

"Why is my nightmare a penguin?" asked Amy.

"You know why Amy. Quack!" said the Penguin. "Your parents are so busy most of the time and penguin parents take turns looking after the chicks, I represent what you could never have! Quack!"

###

Raye's nightmare was a phoenix while Chad's was a wolf. "You think I'm afraid of you?!" said Chad.

"I'm your nightmare, so why don't you tell me?" said the Wolf.

"Ready to burn girl?" said the Phoenix.

"You're the one that's going to burn!" said Raye.

###

Lita's nightmare was tigress while Ken's was a pumped up ape-like blackbelt. "I can handle an overgrown alley cat!" said Lita.

"Well if you ask me it's the lady that will lose to the tiger!" said the tigress.

"And I'm going to smack you so hard you won't know what hit you!" said the Blackbelt.

"Just try!" said Ken.

###

Mina's nightmare was a girl whose body was made of guns and Jamie's nightmare was an athlete with a spiked volleyball. "Ready to get served?!" said the Athlete.

"Only if you are!" said Jamie.

"I know why you're my nightmare." said Mina to the Gunner. "My Mum was killed by a gun, but I won't let that fear get to me!"

"Then I'm just going to have to blow you away." said the Gunner.

###

Trista's nightmare was a cockroach while Gary's was made of videos and tape. "Why did it have to be a roach!?" shrieked Trista.

"You're so afraid of them it's no wonder I'm your nightmare." said the Roach. (From what I read online Sailor Pluto is terrified of cockroaches.)

"Don't worry I'll get her." said Gary.

"You have do keep me from tapping over you first!" said the Video man.

###

Michelle's nightmare was a shark woman and Walter's was a pirate. "You don't seem that tough." said Walter.

"Trust me mate, I'll cut out your gizzard!" said the Pirate.

"I can beat you." said Michelle.

"I my natural element, I think not." said the Shark.

###

Amara's nightmare was a golem and Miguel's was a luchador (A masked Mexican wrestler).

"So you want to fight me?" said Amara.

"That's what I was made for." said the Golem.

"And we'll pin you in no time!" said the Luchador.

"I can do this." said Miguel.

###

Hotaru's nightmare was none other than mistress nine and Anthony's was a vampire. "I knew I had to face my fear, you, sooner or later." said Hotaru.

"You can't beat me, I was you once." said Mistress Nine.

"I knew that movie would come back to bite Me." said Anthony.

"Funny you should mention bite..." said the Vampire.

###

Molly's nightmare was woman made of jewelry while Melvin's was a robot. "You really think that you can beat someone as pretty as me?" said the Gem woman.

"Looks aren't everything!" said Molly.

"Yeah, we can do it!" said Melvin.

"Begin termination..." said the Robot.

###

What is this all about?!" said Serena.

"Simple, you will fight your nightmare counterparts, survivor wins. If you win you will immediately be released from here. So don't think you can help anyone out after that."

"So it's everyone for themselves?!" said Darien.

"Yes; I will allow you all to transform but you will remain in those child bodies."

"Alright then."

"MOON INFINITY POWER!"

"MOON REGAL POWER!"

Sailor Moon noticed that Moon Knight's visor was replaced by a more masculine form of her tiara. She wondered if it had anything thing to do with Scorpio's dream world or if it had something to do with the crystals merging.

"We will beat these nightmares and get out of your sick head!" said Sailor Moon.

"I doubt that." said the rabbit.

"MOON MAGNUM STARBEAM!"

"LUNAR SABER CUT!"

The attacks seemed to go right through the nightmares. "Don't you get it?" said the joker. "We're part of you so you can't destroy us. We on the other hand..." The joker threw some cards while the rabbit threw a carrot. "Can destroy you!!"

The attacks nearly hit them. {Guys can you hear me?} Sailor Moon said telepathically.

{Are you getting pounded too?} said Sailor Uranus.

{It doesn't seem like we can beat them.} said Earth Knight.

{We can.} said Sailor Mars. {We just have to find out how.}

{But they seem to know everything about us including how we attack.} said Sailor Venus.

{Maybe that's it.} said Mercury Knight. {They're made for parts of ourselves we rather push away. If we accept those parts of ourselves...}

{It's worth a try.} said Neptune Knight.

{Then let's do it!} said Sailor Moon.

She immediately rushed forward and bear hugged the rabbit. "What are you doing?!" the rabbit said.

"Good or Bad you are a part of me. I can't deny that you don't exist. We all have to except that there are parts of ourselves that we may not like, but we have to deal with them so we can live happy lives."

Scorpio could be heard as each scout and knight embraced their nightmares. "You can't do this! This is my world! I will destroy you!"

###

Serena opened her eyes and found she had a bad headache. She looked around to see that she was in her classroom of all places and everyone was the right age and species. "Is everyone here?"

"Present and accounted for." said Luna. "I don't think we'll find Scorpio around here."

"Well this will be a school carnival to remember." said Mina.

"Guys." said Serena. "The crystal is still changed."

"Helios did save us." said Rini. "He really did sacrifice himself."

"Did any of you guys notice a change in costume?" asked Darien. The knights nodded. "We better try to figure out what this means."

###

"I won't take this lightly." Scorpio said as he watched the setting sun. "Our next battle will be your last!"
