Journeys Anew

Dis: I don't own Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura. I do own a few characters of the story. I would like to give a special thanks to Ms. Sakura Moon for thinking up the transformations and attacks for the Generals. Thanks so much. I will use text for thought talking in this chapter.
Chapter 12
The group soon found themselves looking over a harsh landscape. Everyone was braced for battle not knowing what they would see first. One thing was for certain what the did encounter wasn't what they expected. Venus was the first to notice and squealed in delight.
"We have our very own pair of wings now," she exclaimed.
"That would explain the floaty feeling," said Kunsite.
"How do you know they are yours?" asked Sakura.
"They have our own power laced through them making them feel more natural," said Ami.
"Not to mention the coloration," said Zoysite. Each of the scouts now had their own pair of wings. They were the same size as the Chosen Ones' but they had their own colors.
"We'll let's get going there is an ominous power coming from that direction," said Mars pointing to the large hill which gases were spewing from the top.
"Of course it is Flame," Jadeite using his nickname for him. "The bad guys always pick the scariest places to fight," he explained. Mars shot him a look.
"Maybe someone should go higher to get a better look," said Tuxedo Mask before the two could get into one of their famous argument. The rest of the group shot him an appreciated look.
"I'll go check it out," said Sailor Moon.
"We'll I'll go too," said Sakura. Tuxedo Mask nodded. Everyone watched as they streaked up to the sky soon too high to be seen. The group waited patiently still tense waiting for anything to happen. Too soon Sakura and Serena came back down in a dive.
"Run," she yelled as they both zipped past. The group looked up seeing what had the girls running behind them were a dozen of Long and Beryl's humanoid monster. These were huge insects with not only stingers but pincers as well. The only difference is that they had human faces. It took only a glance before the rest of the group was off as well catching up. Sakura twirled her staff in front of them.
"Voice," she yelled. Just then each of the scouts, Generals and Tuxedo Mask felt a small pop in their ears as they continued to fly. Soon Sakura's voice entered their heads.
I've used Voice so we can communicate without talking, she thought to the rest of the group as she glanced back to see they still had a good lead against the monsters.
That's a good idea, Nephrite told her testing it out.
Ok we need a plan, Sailor Moon thought to the whole group.
Some of us need to lead the monsters off and the rest will go after Beryl, Jupiter thought sending a thunder bolt behind her. All of the monsters avoided it.
It's not gonna be easy, Zoysite.
We'll go, Syaoran spoke for the Chosen Ones. Sakura, Ryu, and Kimari nodded.
I'm going too, said Sailor Moon
If that's the case I'm going as well, said Tuxedo Mask. The rest of the group looked to these six. They knew in the end it would come to this but they would help it along as much as they could.
Fine, said Jadeite.
Mercury can we have some fog to shroud us? Ryu asked as he raised his sword.
At this speed it will only last about ten to fifteen seconds, said Mercury.
When we are cover we shoot up into the air leaving you guys and the decoys I will set up. They will behave as we would but only for a short time by then you'll have to either be winning or occupying the monsters, Syaoran explained. The rest of the group nodded. Sailor Moon nodded to Mercury and Zoysite.
"Mercury fog shroud," Mercury yelled.
Mirror make decoys of the chosen six Syaoran thought out loud. Soon the fog cleared. Everyone looked back to see the monsters coming thought the rest of what remained. They looked to the decoys that looked just like their friends and kept flying sending a quick glance up only to see a small flutter of white before they could see nothing else.
Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, Ryu, Kimari, Syaoran and Sakura flew towards the gas spewing hill at top speed knowing that the battle coming up could mean the lives of all of their friends and families' lives. They continued on their way, soon enough they above the hill.
I think the surprise approach would be nice, Ryu thought to the rest of the group. All of hem nodded.
Kimari will put Sakura, herself and I under stealth and make it seem as if it is only you three, Sakura planned. Everyone thought about the plan and nodded then fell into a dive.
Stealth Surround, Kimari yelled at the last minute. The force of her power blew a hole in the ceiling of the dome of the hid out. When the dust cleared Tuxedo Mask, Ryu, and Syaoran all stood in front of Master Long and Queen Beryl.
"Sorry to drop in unexpected," Tuxedo Mask snarled.
"What is this you three are there with your friends," Master Long spat looking into his globe. Just then the decoys of the three disappeared.
"Being a Chosen One has its advantages," Ryu said through a smirk.
"You have unleashed your last creations on the group and left us here defenseless," Beryl yelled at Long.
"Quiet you shrieking woman you have just blurted out our weakness," Long snapped back before turning to the three men. "No matter it is only three of them here the rest will die while I take care of them," he said. "You ready the attack on Earth," he ordered. Queen Beryl snorted but left anyway. Unknown to her she was being followed.
"You should have kept her at least from a shield," Syaoran said readying his sword. Long growled and lunched at him. Syaoran blocked and countered. Long dodged the attack and landed in time to block Tuxedo Mask's cane before paring Ryu's sword. They continued like this waiting for the first to weaken. Obviously Long's power had increased on his little visits to the other realms.
Beryl made her way down a corridor before coming to a stop in front of a vast door. She pushed at it expecting it to open she was shocked to see that it gave no leeway. She pushed and pulled knowing something must be amiss.
"Try as you might but that door will only open with my loss," Came Sakura's voice from behind her.
"And that's not happening at lease not to my dear cousin," said Sailor Moon.
"Why don't you just make it easy and be stripped of your powers and condemned to the demon realm. I'm sure you'll meet someone there who'll like you," Kimari commented. Beryl turned to them with murder in her eyes.
"You'll never take me alive that is to be certain," she yelled firing a dark blast at them. All three of them split up into the sky grateful for the high ceiling. Kimari readied a blast of her own.
"Then we'll settle with death," she said as she was about to fire the attack.
"Kimari wait," said Sailor Moon. Kimari looked to the other girl confused. "This place is highly unstable a dodged attack can blow it to pieces," she said. Kimari frowned and recalled her attack. Beryl smiled wickedly.
"Good job Sailor Brat but not only this building but also what lies behind this door along with the whole comet," she said.
"Then we'll just have to settle with physical force," said Sakura sending Beryl her Eriol smirk which sent a shiver through not only the Evil Queen but also her two comrades. They got over it at once and charged together.
Once they knew they were a save distance from the hill the rest of the Scouts and Generals slowed down to another part of the asteroid. The fanned out and surrounded the monsters. They had noticed when three of the decoys had disappeared and hoped everything was going well with the rest of their friends. At once they began to attack the monsters after all the faster they finished them off the faster they could help their friends.
Somewhere not too far away worried family and friends stood by watching hoping the outcome would come out good not only for their loved ones but also for the whole entire universe.
Thanks for reading this chapter of Journey's Anew. As you can see we are winding down and everything lies in the hope of the three young couples. Please R&R will any suggestions. Thanks YingFaLi003.
