Sorry, people but I"m going to make this my last chapter for the summer. I'm going to be gone for a couple of months and chill, but don't worry, I"m not quitting on this story and I'm working on an idea for Samurai Jack and Predator, so look out for those too. Here it is again.
Chapter Six
"Where's Amy, and what's HE doing here?" I asked without thought. We were all in front of the ship where we had landed a couple of miles away from the city. All the Sailor Scouts, except for Amy, had met us when we came out. Marvin and Lita were kissing each other, Mo and Raye was hugging near the entrance to the hatchway, and Tuff and Mea were in an impenetrable bear hug. Waynehead and Roz were behind me listening to my conversation.
At the time I was talking to Serena and Darien about Amy's whereabouts. I glanced over to Greg and gave him the evil-eye. He was about a few feet behind Darien and Serena, but he could hear everything that we said. He knew that I hated him, and he hated me back. He was lucky that he wasn't near me especially when Serena had finished discussing what Amy had done.
"I'm going to look for her," I said and called my Galactic Hoverboard. As it stopped in front of me I suddenly got a strange sensation through my body. It was as if something dark was creeping up my foot and trying to cover me up. I knew this feeling.
"There a disturbance in the Force," I said softly.
Everyone stopped what they were doing to look in my direction.
Waynehead walked up to me and put his hand on my shoulder. His eyes were filled with worry and fear. "Are you sure?" he stuttered. "Are you positive?"
I could feel the vibration of his arm on my shoulder. I didn't want to say what I had to, but I had to tell them about it.
"I'm sure," I started. "And it's strong, real strong. I'm just trembling all over from its power right now. And it's so familiar."
"Can you locate it?" asked Roz quickly. "Is it far off or is it in the city?"
"It's in the city alright, in that direction," I said and pointed to the spot where it was located. "It's trying it's best to hide its power, but it looks like it is having a hard time with it." Then I thought about Amy. 'What if she's caught up in what ever that is?' I thought. "Scouts, quickly check your communicators right now!' I shouted to them.
They all looked at me like I was crazy. Serena, however, knew what was meant by my last remark. She remained calm as she walked up to me. "Don't worry about her D.J., if she was in that kind of trouble, the first thing she'll do is...."
Serena wasn't nearly finished with her sentence when the Scouts' communicators went off with an alarming beeping sound. Serena was the first to take out hers' and check what it was. Her calmness had quickly turned to fear as she looked at me slowly. "Amy's communicator just broke." she said horrified.
Luna who was directly next to her had a look of horror on her face. "Serena," she said slowly. "That signal has a two minute delay on it."
That's all I needed to hear. "Guys move out, I'll go ahead in that direction! You guys just make sure you're there!" I yelled as I jumped on my board.
Everyone began to move to the ship. Greg just looked confused. He didn't know where to run to or what was going on. Waynehead had begun to reopen the hatchway as I rose to the air.
"We'll go in the cars and follow the power source, we'll be there as soon as we can," He yelled at me.
"O.K," I yelled back. I gave the board a stomp and yelled, "LET'S GO!"
A burst of speed suddenly gave way under me as I headed toward the city. All I could think was Amy and if she was O.K or not. I wouldn't forgive myself if anything happed to her. 'Why didn't I see this coming,' I thought. 'I should never had called Luna and told her that we were coming back. Well I'm not letting anything happen to Amy as long as I'm still alive.' I sped faster toward the city and kept my hopes up that she was alive and not hurt. If anything did hurt Amy, they would know what pain was after meeting me. 'Hold on Amy, I'm coming....'
'Hold on Amy, I'm coming!'
Sailor Mercury looked around quickly. She thought she heard Dossie for a moment. Was she going insane over the pain or did he try to reach her? 'No, he is really coming,' she brightened. She could almost feel him with her. The thought of him with her right now gave her new strength as she got back up once more. The stranger was amazed by the new strength that seemed to come out of nowhere.
"So you found a reserve," he said. "Yes, I can feel the energy rising now. No matter, your fate is still sealed. Come now while you can still walk. This battle is fruitless!"
'Why did I forget that the signal had a two minute delay on it?' she thought. Yet now she knew that help was coming, all she needed to do was show them her location. She was still in a couple of meters in front of the portal, but that didn't matter. She needed to go all out now! 'O.K,' she thought, 'Last chance, just one more time.' Slowly she began to gather up her energy again for the final attack.
'Come on, I know you can go faster than this,' I thought. I just got to the city suburbs when I received word that the team and the scouts had left the ship and had a lock on the signal. It was Amy's shortcut home. And the high energy level was over there too. That didn't make me happier; it just made me go faster. Now I knew that she was in trouble; serious trouble. 'I have to make it there in time before something happens,' I thought. "Faster girl, faster! I yelled. The engine exhaust roared as I zoomed towards the shortcut. Then I felt something horrible; Amy was getting her energy together for one last attack. 'Got a put it in high gear!' Soon I was speeding off to her faster than I ever gone before.
Sailor Mercury had started to feel the energy go through her body. She never powered-up like this before. Not since she became a Sailor Scout; too dangerous. But she never had been in love before like this either. 'So, there's a first time everything,' she thought to herself as she finally got enough power. The stranger had backed away from her as he saw the energy coming off her in a light blue aura that surrounded her in an immense sphere. Once again she had raised her hands over her head, but this time a tiny spot of water was circling around at the top of her hands. Before the strangers eyes it slowly grew more and more until it was ten times the size of a basketball.
The stranger looked in awe. He began to see what she was trying to do. "You fool! You have no idea what power I have. That puny, desperate attack will kill you and won't even daze me." He had come to the last of his patience with her and had begun to walk furiously to her. "Give up now!" he demanded.
Sailor Mercury stood where she was, waiting on him to come closer so her attack could have the full effect. 'I'm not going to go down,' she thought. It was do or die time; no second chances. She had to do what Mo would have said, "Put up or shut up." Time to show him what she could really do. She swung her arms down in a circle, aimed, pointed her hands at opponent and yelled, "Shine Aqua Illusion". As soon as she said those words orbs of water began to come forth in an enormous stream that shot out of her hands and headed straight toward the stranger.
'Oh no!' I panicked as I saw a stream of blue light going into the sky. 'She's actually doing it,' I thought. She knew that she couldn't handle that kind of power. She could give off too much energy and die. And I knew damn well that I wasn't going to let that happen. I looked at how close I was to the source of the light. 'If she could just hold on for one more minute. Just a little bit further,' I thought hopefully. 'Please baby, hang on.'
The attack hit the stranger with immense power as she heard him cry out in pain. 'Yes!' She thought. 'I finally got him.' But as she was about to stop the attack, a ball inside of the wave had begun to come out. Without warning the middle of her wave had burst open as the stranger was holding the wave back with some kind of shield from his hands. He looked as if he was holding a wall from falling on him. He was shaken by the attack, but wasn't fully hurt by it.
"It looks as if I've underestimated your power little one," he said struggling, "But I will not make that same mistake twice. Prepare yourself for your defeat!"
Slowly, her wave was coming back toward her. Mercury couldn't believe it; her wave started to come back to her hands! 'How could he have survived?' She thought. 'That was a direct hit at maximum efficacy at point blank range. That's impossible.' She was soon brought back out of her thoughts when she saw that he had pushed her wave within a foot of her. Her shoes scraped against the pavement as she was pushed towards the portal behind her. 'That's far enough!' She thought. She had called on more power and released a bigger wave that met up with his shield. The stranger began to skid across the floor and his shield had begun to weaken. She was giving it all that she had. She wasn't going to give up. She was determined to win against him. SHE WASN'T GOING TO LOSE DOSSIE. "THIS ENDS NOW!" She shouted. But before she had time to give a bigger wave the stranger said, "Yes, it does." and sent a burst of energy to her through his eyes. The energy hit her and sent her towards the portal. Suddenly everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. She saw herself going toward the portal, she was about to go through, but then she heard someone call her name. "AMY, NO!" She looked at the entrance of the alley and saw who she was fighting for. He was on his Galactic Hoverboard with a look of pure terror. Her heart cried out, 'He does care and he does love me, just like I love him.' She thought. She had to say it now before she was zapped into the portal, "DOSSIE, I LOV..." she began but never got to finish. She had entered the portal and then everything went black.
"AMY, NO! OH GOD NO! AMY HANG ON!" I cried. I ran to what looked like a portal. I saw her go through the portal and heard her say something, but didn't catch what she said. My eyes began to water as I moved closer to the portal. Then I saw who was creating all of that energy. He was looking into the portal and saying something. It was as if something in the past came to the present. The figure had been unmistakably familiar as I got closer. Then I recognized who it was. 'It couldn't be,' I thought, but then I saw the figure turn around and look at me. I instantly froze in place. The dark feeling had risen again at my feet. Fear and anger had taken over me as I rushed toward the villain and screamed his name in full fury, "VADAR!!!"
