Will the other scouts be able to stop the other monsters?
Chapter 16- Truth is Revealed: Part 3
Sailor Libra slowly got up. Where in God's name am I? she thought. Libra gazed at her surroundings. She was in a swamp, the air was hot and sticky.
"I can barely breath," she thought as she started to walk one-way, "I need to get out of here."
Libra walked through the swamp, unaware that someone was watching her.
Meanwhile in a different part of the swamp:
Mercury, Gemini and Virgo wander through the swamp searching for a way out.
"Have you found anything yet?" asked Virgo for the tenth time in five minutes.
Sweat drops appeared on Mercury's head and Gemini sighed in annoyance. Virgo was her best friend but, sometimes she could get really annoying.
"When I find something," said Mercury turning around to glance at Virgo, "You'll be the first to know."
Gemini rolled her eyes. For almost an hour they had been wandering through this annoying fog and smelly swamp, and hadn't found an exit or even any of the guardians or scouts.
Mercury's laptop started beeping. She immediately turned her attention to it and started typing quickly.
"What is it?' asked Gemini.
"My computer is picking up movement ahead of us," replied Mercury as she pressed one of her earrings.
A blue visor appeared over her eyes. She used it to close in on the target ahead of them. She gasped when she saw what it was.
"What is it?' said Virgo.
"It's two of those Duplicates and they have Sailor Libra prisoner!" said Mercury in shock.
"Then lets go free her," said Sailor Gemini as she took off with Sailor Mercury and Virgo following behind.
Libra could hardly breath. Her Love Chain was choking her. She had tried to use it to tie up the two Duplicates, but one had caught it and used it against her. Now she was all tied up.
"Now," said on of the Duplicates (known as Duplicate Earth), "It's time to kill you."
Long, lethal nails shot out of his hand. His partner, Duplicate Wind had daggers appear in his hand. He grinned evilly.
"Say buh-bye, sweetie," he said as he raised the daggers.
"Hold it right there!"
The two turned around to see Sailor Mercury, Gemini and Virgo standing there.
"I am Sailor Gemini, the sailor guardian of Wisdom and your worst nightmare!" stated Gemini.
"I'm Sailor Virgo, the sailor guardian of Ice and I'll punish you will my ice blast!" stated Sailor Virgo.
"You bet my friends, Gemini and Virgo. Some may call me a bookworm, but my most lethal weapon is my brain. Beware because I'm Sailor Mercury!" shouted Mercury.
Duplicate Earth smirked. "I'd like to see you little girls stop us," he said as he ran toward them.
"Mercury Bubbles" shouted Mercury as a blue ball of bubbles formed in her hand, "Blast!"
Soon the area was surround by a fog of soapy bubbles. The two monsters started to shiver.
"What now?' said Sailor Gemini.
Mercury was quickly scanning the two monsters.
"I'm trying to find their weakness, but I need more time," she said.
Sailor Gemini nodded to Virgo.
"We'll give you more time," she said as the fog disappeared.
Soon the two monsters were visible. Then searched around for the scouts.
"Where did they go?' said Duplicate Wind as he searched around.
Duplicate Earth shrugged.
"Gemini Double Ice Beam!"
A blast of ice frozen Duplicate Earth. His partner gaped for a second and then turned to see Sailor Gemini and Virgo standing there.
"Look for us?' asked Sailor Virgo.
Duplicate Wind growled. Then he started throwing the knives at the two. Virgo and Gemini dodged them.
"Close to finding it yet?' asked Virgo as she barely dodged a knife.
"Almost," replied Mercury, "Just a few more seconds."
Duplicate Earth notice Sailor Mercury. His hand became full of knives. He grinned wickedly as he launched them at Mercury.
Mercury glanced up and screamed as the knives came closer and closer to her.
"Virgo Freezing Kiss!"
Virgo launched her attack and froze the knives that dropped right at Mercury's feet. Duplicate Wind spun around and looked angrily at Virgo. Mercury quickly gathered her energy to perform her attack.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" she shouted as her ice attack hit Duplicate Wind and froze him.
"Nice job, Mercury," said a voice from behind her.
Mercury spun around and saw Sailor Venus and Taurus standing behind them.
"Venus! Taurus!" she said happily, "Glad to see you.'
Sailor Gemini and Virgo nodded in agreement. The ice that was holding Duplicate Earth and Wind start to break.
"Mercury," said Gemini quickly, "Have you've found their weakness?'
Mercury nodded, "It's their center."
"Okay," said Venus, "Taurus, lets get rid of them."
"Yeah," agreed Taurus.
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" shouted Venus as her yellow laser hit Duplicate Earth's center.
"Taurus Beauty Beam Shower!" shouted Taurus as her orange beam showered in several different beams hitting Duplicate Wind's center.
The two monsters screamed as they were destroyed. The chain around Sailor Libra fell onto the ground. Libra sunk to her knees and coughed a lot. Taurus saw her and ran over.
"Libra, Libra are you okay?' she asked as she helped her friend to her feet.
Libra nodded as she stood up.
"That's a relief," said Sailor Venus.
"Now all we have to do is find Dark Moon and destroy him," said Mercury.
Suddenly Sailor Virgo fainted along with Libra.
"Libra! Virgo!" shouted Gemini in shock.
Then she fainted too. Sailor Mercury and Taurus started to look light headed.
"We can't give in," said Mercury weakly.
"Try to hold on," replied Taurus in an even weaker voice.
Then they both fainted too.
"Mercury, Taurus!" said Venus as she ran over to them, "I feel so weak."
Venus fainted. Then a black mist surrounded them, teleporting them back to Dark Moon's chamber. They were each put into a glass coffin like Sailor Mars, Aries, Pluto and Scorpio. Dark Moon laughed.
"Having fun yet," he said as he stared at the ten scouts that were imprisoned, "I have ten of yours and only twelve more to get rid of. This is so much fun!"
Inside the castle:
Sailor Uranus and Aquarius were firing their attacks at the Duplicate, known as Duplicate Aqua.
He laughed as his water wall stopped each of the attacks.
"Uranus World Shaking!" shouted Uranus as she smack the ground with her fist and a gold energy that was shaped like her planet hit Duplicate Aqua's water wall.
"Try all you like, but you can't hurt me!" he said with an laugh.
"Aquarius Whirlwind Surround!" shouted Aquarius as her wind attack burst from her hands.
Like Uranus's attack, the wall stopped it. Duplicate Aqua snickered.
"This jerk is really getting on my nerves," said Jupiter angrily, "I'm going to crush him."
Sagittarius paid no attention to Jupiter's comments. She was too busy scanning on her computer, Duplicate Aqua's possible weakness. Finally it clicked to her.
"Jupiter," she said, "I need you to use a really strong attack on him."
"Huh?' said Jupiter in bewilderment, "Haven't you seen what happened to Uranus and Aquarius's attacks? Mine won't do any thing."
"Just trust me," said Sagittarius with a pleading tone.
"Okay," said Jupiter "Here goes nothing."
"In the name of Jupiter, I call upon the forces of love and nature to banish this muff head!" prayed Jupiter as she prepared to attack, "Jupiter Thunder Dragon!"
A large dragon that was made out of thunder attacked the water wall. This power started to force the wall to break.
"Its working!" said Uranus in surprise.
"Noo!" screamed Duplicate Aqua as he watched his wall break.
A large fog of steam, clouded the area. As it cleared away, Duplicate Aqua was unharmed.
"No way!" shouted Jupiter, "He's unharmed!"
"Not for long," said Sailor Sagittarius, "Sagittarius Lighting Arrow Shock!"
She fired her arrow at Duplicate Aqua. As the arrow hit Duplicate Aqua, vines came out of it and shocked the monster. He screamed as the pain ran thought his body.
"Uranus! Finish him off," shouted Sagittarius.
Uranus nodded as her Space Sword appeared in her hand. She ran toward the enemy and jumped high in the air.
"Space Sword Blaster!" she shouted as she brought her sword down on the monster, destroying it.
Duplicate Aqua disappeared in a puddle of water.
"Yeah!" shouted Aquarius as she and Sagittarius gave each other high fives.
Uranus and Jupiter did the same.
Dark Moon stared at the four with admiration.
"Impressive," he thought, "I've under estimate these scouts, but they'll be join their friends."
A black aura glowed around his hands. Back in the castle Uranus, Aquarius, Sagittarius and Jupiter fainted and were teleported to Dark Moon's chamber. They too were place in glass coffins.
Dark Moon smiled, "Eight more left, and soon I'll hold all of the scouts."
Meanwhile in the forest:
Sailor Saturn used her silent wall against Duplicate Flame. His attack was blocked. Sailor Capricorn raised her star staff and prepared to attack.
"Capricorn Silent Scream!" she whispered as her attack was released at Duplicate Flame.
He dodged the attack and sent a burst of fire at them.
"Saturn Silent Wall!" said Saturn as her invisible wall appeared once again and blocked the attack.
"Neptune, " said Saturn, "You have to use you mirror."
"I know," said Neptune as she held up her mirror, "Submarine Reflection!"
A sparkly beam of light hit Duplicate Flame. His body started to glow.
"Just attack anywhere!" said Neptune.
The others nodded as they each prepared to attack.
"Pisces Waterfall Drown!"
"Capricorn Silent Scream!"
"Neptune Deep Submerge!"
"Saturn Silence Glaive Surprise!"
The four attacks hit Duplicate Flame with great force and easily destroyed him.
"That wasn't that hard," said Pisces.
Neptune nodded. She quickly put her hand to her forehead.
"Neptune is something wrong?' asked Saturn in a worried tone.
"I don't know," replied Neptune in a weak tone, "All of a sudden I feel very faint. I don't know whats-"
Then she fainted into Pisces's arms.
"Neptune!" said Pisces as she gently lowered the aquamarine haired girl to the ground.
Capricorn's eyes started to flicker shut and soon she fainted also. Saturn ran over to her friend and held her in her arms.
"Capricorn, please wake up," pleaded Saturn as she shook the girl lightly.
"Saturn…" Sailor Pisces started to say, but Saturn also fainted.
"What's happening to us?" thought Pisces.
Then her mind blacked out and she too fainted.
The bodies of Sailor Neptune, Capricorn, Saturn and Pisces were transferred into glass coffins, like the rest of the scouts.
Dark Moon laughed confidently.
"I have you all!" he said aloud.
"Is that so?" came a voice from behind him.
Dark Moon turned around to see Sailor Moon, Sailor Cancer, Sailor Leo and Tuxedo Mask standing there. Sailor Moon had her hands on her hips and Cancer and Leo had their arms crossed over their chests.
"How'd you get here?' said Dark Moon angrily.
"Its a little thing called common sense," said Cancer, "Maybe you'll discover it one day."
Dark Moon growled angrily. Then he smiled.
"You're in my world," he said, "You can't stop me."
"Is that so?" said Sailor Leo.
Dark Moon waved his hands. Around them, glass coffins appeared. The scouts gasped. Each coffin either held a Sailor Scout or a Sailor Guardian.
"I've have your friends imprisoned," said Dark Moon.
"Let them go!" shouted Sailor Moon angrily.
"How about…No!" said Dark Moon as his hand began to glow with an black aura, "But you can join them!"
A black beam shot out toward Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Moon watch out!" screamed Sailor Leo.
The beam grew closer and closer when…
Tuxedo Mask jumped in the path of the beam, taking the blow. He was knock out and teleported into a coffin.
"Tuxedo Mask!" screamed Sailor Moon.
She turned angrily toward Dark Moon.
"You'll pay for this," she said as she ripped her tiara off her head, "Moon Tiara Magic!"
Her tiara sped toward Dark Moon, who blocked it with a black beam.
"You'll never defeat me!" he said confidently.
"We have to do something," said Leo to Cancer.
"I know, but what can we do?" said Cancer, "We're not powerful enough to destroy him. We used most of our energy against his monsters."
Leo's face fell. Cancer was right. She was feeling weak after using her attack a lot against the monster. Then she felt something appear in her hand. It was the dull crystal that they had found a long time ago. She stared at it in shock. How did it get here? Last time she had seen it was at their house, and now it was here in her hand. Suddenly she felt a strange, but soothing warmth come from the crystal.
"Use you hidden powers to create a shield," said a voice that seemed to come from the crystal.
Leo glance at in surprise. "What hidden powers?" she thought.
"Tell Sailor Moon to gather the power within her Silver Crystal and block his attacks," replied the voice, "You'll understand what to do."
"Sailor Moon," said Leo, "Use you Silver Crystal!"
Sailor Moon turned and looked shock at Sailor Leo's remark. Cancer's face said that she was puzzled about this.
"It's the only way!" shouted Leo.
Sailor Moon nodded and cupped her hands in front of her brooch and concentrated. Dark Moon stared, having no clue what to do.
A bright light came out of Sailor Moon's brooch and a silver crystal appeared. Cancer and Leo gasped.
"Silver Crystal,' said Sailor Moon, "Please help me destroy him. I don't have enough strength, so please help me gather some."
In her coffin, Mercury's tiara began to glow. The glass broke and Mercury was floating there. She opened her eyes and stood up. Her tiara's sapphire started to glow as she shouted "Mercury Star Power!"
The other coffins broke and the scouts were floating. Each regained consciousness.
"Mars Star Power!" shouted Sailor Mars as the ruby in her tiara glowed.
"Jupiter Star Power!" shouted Sailor Jupiter as her emerald glowed.
"Venus Star Power!" shouted Sailor Venus as her topaz glowed.
"Uranus Planet Power!" shouted Sailor Uranus as her amber began to glow.
"Neptune Planet Power!" shouted Sailor Neptune as her aquamarine glowed.
"Pluto Planet Power!" shouted Sailor Pluto as her garnet began to glow.
"Saturn Planet Power!" shouted Sailor Saturn as her fluorite glowed.
"Cosmic Moon Power!" shouted Sailor Moon using her past attack that use to be used when she fought the Negaverse a long time ago.
Blue, red, green, orange, dark blue, aquamarine, dark red, purple and pink power colors swirled into the Silver Crystal powering it up. Then Sailor Moon aimed it at Dark Moon. The rainbow colored blast hit Dark Moon, he screamed as he was killed by the blast.
"Black Sun, your big brother is on his way."
Those were Dark Moon's last words. Sailor Moon wiped a drop of sweat off her forehead. She sighed with relief, Dark Moon was gone for good. Above her, on the ceiling a rock began to fall. It landed right behind her. Sailor Moon ran over to where her friends were.
"The place is coming down!" said Sailor Leo.
"Yes," said Mercury, "In a few minutes, this place will be destroyed."
"But, how are we going to get out of here?" asked Sailor Aries, "There's no way out. Dark Moon probably was the one who knew how to get out of here."
"There is one way out," said Mercury.
"I got you," said Venus, "You mean 'Sailor Teleport'."
"We can't," said Mars, "Sailor Moon is almost out of energy and we have extra passengers."
"We'll help," said Cancer stepping forward, "Just tell us what to do."
"Its worth a try," said Pluto.
"Then lets do it," said Uranus.
The all held hands. Sailor Moon and Mars held hands. Aries held Mars other hand and Scorpio's who also held Pluto's. Pluto held her hand with Saturn who held her other with Capricorn. Capricorn held Sagittarius who held Jupiter, who held Virgo's. Virgo held Mercury, who held Gemini, who held Libra. Libra held Venus, Venus held Taurus, who held Aquarius. Aquarius held Uranus, who held Neptune. Neptune held Pisces, who held Tuxedo Mask's who held Leo's. Leo held Cancer and Cancer held Sailor Moon's.
"Moon Cosmic Power!"
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Mars Star Power!"
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Venus Star Power!"
"Uranus Planet Power!"
"Neptune Planet Power!"
"Pluto Planet Power!"
"Saturn Planet Power!"
"Leo Guardian Power!"
"Cancer Guardian Power!"
"Gemini Guardian Power!"
"Virgo Guardian Power!"
"Aries Guardian Power!"
"Sagittarius Guardian Power!"
"Libra Guardian Power!"
"Taurus Guardian Power!"
"Aquarius Guardian Power!".
"Pisces Guardian Power!"
"Scorpio Guardian Power!"
"Capricorn Guardian Power!"
"Sailor Teleport Power!" they all shouted.
The scouts and guardians disappeared in a rainbow. A few seconds after they teleported away. The whole chamber was destroyed.
In the Negaverse:
"Dark Moon has failed me," said Lady Hecate coolly as she stared at her black fire that replayed the scouts attack.
"I won't rest until the Silver Zodiac Crystal is mine!" she said.
The scouts, guardians and Tuxedo Mask appeared in a dark street.
"Yeah!" said Sailor Moon as she hugged Mars, "We made it out!'
Everyone started chattering excitedly. The guardians watched with small smiles on their faces. Then they turned to leave.
"Wait!" said Tuxedo Mask stopping them.
The twelve guardians each turned around.
"Are you still on our side?" asked Sailor Moon stepping forward.
"We're on no one's side," replied Cancer coolly.
"Even after what we just went through?" said Mars.
"Yes," replied Aries, "You may have been our friends before we learned you were scouts, but now we must stick to our mission."
"So don't try to get in our way," said Pisces in a cool tone.
"We will get the Zodiac Crystals," said Sailor Gemini.
With that the Sailor Guardians turned and left the scouts staring after them.
