Auten sucks at fight scenes, yes indeedy. But, you cannot have senshi and saints in the same story without fight scenes, so I suppose we will have to pt up with it. I know Haruka does not smoke in the anime, but she seems like the smoking type, doesn't she!? Thanks for reviews and...yes, the disclaimer I do not own Saint Seiya or Sailor Moon...promise.
Tenoh Haruka took a rather long drag on her cigarette, before exhaling and gazing at the passersby in a rather contemplative way. Michiru coughed rather loudly from behind her book, but Haruka ignored it.
"If you like, I can always summon a wind to carry it away...so your delicate senses are not offended," she said out loud, not looking at her companion, but instead, watching the sky.
"It's not my senses I'm worried about," Michiru replied coolly, still not lifting her gaze from her book. Haruka snorted, and knocked some ash into the ashtray.
"The wind has been blowing the wrong way all day...what do you make of it?" Michiru, knowing that Haruka would not leave her in peace until she gave the tenacious blond all of her attention, sighed and set aside her book.
"Something's brewing...and it'll probably come to a head very soon."
"I'll say," Haruka muttered. "Well, while we are waiting for the imminent danger, would you care to-" But her invitation was cut off as a thin scream echoed from the other side of a street. Panicked shouts greeted it, and it seemed as though there was a sudden mass exodus of people fleeing the area.
Haruka stood immediately, and saw a wraith-like creature, thin, humanoid, and black. Fire danced along its hands, head, and lower legs. Shooting a knowing glance at Michiru they both ran down the alleyway, and ducked behind the café they had been sitting outside of moments before.
"Uranus Crystal Power, Make-Up!"
"Neptune Crystal Power, Make-Up!" The world trembled pleasurably about Haruka as her fuku molded itself to her strong and supple body, flashing gold and navy blue.
Sailor Uranus fell lightly to the ground with a click of heels, Sailor Neptune having finished moments before. They shot out of the alleyway to greet the creature; the outer senshi did not need to talk. Having worked so long together, they could work fluidly and seamlessly together without any communication.
"Deep Submerge!" Neptune roared, sending a blue globe spinning at the flaming thing. It acked, and sprung out of the way as the globe sped past where it once stood. When it was convinced that it had maneuvered its way out of danger, it sent back at them strings of flames.
"Well," Uranus remarked, on her knees from avoiding the blow. "I think this one...is smarter." Neptune chose not to reply, but sent another Deep Submerge flying at the creature. Chuckling, it ducked this attack too.
"World Shaking!" Uranus cried, trying her own attack, and finding that the thing eluded it just as easily. It spit some more fire at them before leaping up and perching on a lamppost.
"We'll need to distract it," Neptune said, breathing heavily. Two attacks in quick succession had tired her out. The thing hissed from it vantage point, and Uranus glared at it before shrugging at her partner.
"Are you volunteering?" But before the two senshi could decide who was who, a great tower of flames broke through the pavement at Uranus' feet. Swallowing a shriek as her exposed skin was uncomfortably burned, she threw herself backwards.
When the smoke from the sudden fire had cleared, Uranus saw that the creature had Neptune in the same position that the other one had had the man in the other day; the senshi of water dangled over the street, clawing at the hand clenched uncomfortably about her neck.
A wave of intense fury swept over the senshi of the heavens, and she snarled as a sheathed sword materialized in her hands. She pulled out the Space Sword, and willed it to be as hard and as sharp as it possibly could.
Uttering a wordless cry, Uranus began to sprint towards the flaming creature, who held a sluggishly moving Sailor Neptune.
"Space Sword....Bl-"
"The Rising Dragon!" Uranus once again threw herself in reverse as a great towering dragon made of...water?...hurtled towards the creature, a man visible in the middle of it.
The creature shrieked pitifully and dropped Sailor Neptune, its body dissolving in the powerful blow. Uranus ducked in, and scooped up Sailor Neptune, and darted back down the alley.
Neptune moaned, and her fuku dissolved, leaving Michiru in civilian clothing, her eyes rolling in her head. Uranus released her own fuku, but continued running down the street. As much as she wanted to see the owner of the dragon blow, she didn't want to chance it being another enemy, especially with Michiru in the state that she was currently in.
