Chapter 7
'An Intense Battle Rages On, nya!'
"Something is wrong... I can feel it," Rei stated; suddenly stopping. Kisshu, not realizing, ran right into her, and Makoto into him soon after, causing them all to fall down.
"H-hey, why'dja stop all of a sudden?" Kisshu asked, annoyed. Rei shoved both Kisshu and Makoto off her and sat up, rubbing her head.
"What's wrong, Rei?" Makoto asked.
"Sailor Moon, Mercury and Venus are fighting the kirema anima and Lettuce is fighting it, too," Rei replied. "We have to help them!"
"Who are those 'sailor' people?" Kisshu asked, scratching his head and showing a weird, though confused, expression.
"We will explain later, but right now we have no time," Makoto said.
"Chibi Usa is close by so we should pick her and Zakuro and Mint up, too," Rei added.
"Right! We're going to need them."
How does this girl know all this stuff? Kisshu wondered, raising an eye-brow. He shook his head and started walking after Rei and Makoto.
(Pudding and Ichigo)
The small blond haired girl had sat down beside the sleeping Ichigo, who had curled up into a cat-like ball. Now and then, Pudding's eyes would close, but she would quickly jerk them open. She started to rock back and forth, hoping it would keep her a wake, but boredom was a great force to reckon with, which Pudding instantly found out as she tried to hold a yawn in, but couldn't.
"Waah! Pudding can't take it no more, na no da!" she cried out, her stomach seemed to follow her example as it cried out, too, but not from boredom; it was hungry. "That's a great idea, tummy-chan! If Pudding eats something, then Pudding can stay awake! Time to find tummy-chan a treat, na no da!"
Hastily, the monkey girl trotted into the kitchen and looked around. She looked through the cupboards, on top of the refrigerator and in the refrigerator, finding 1 box of Jello French Vanilla instant pudding; 1 box of Jello Banana cream instant Pudding milk; 1 large container of whipped cream; 4 ripe bananas; a small carton of strawberries, and a bag of vanilla wafers.
"Yay!" the hyper girl chirped, picking up all the ingredients carefully. "Pudding will make Banana and strawberry Pudding, na no da! Ichigo-oneechan will be hungry, too!"
One of the bananas fell from Pudding's arm and, with the blond girl doing her normal circus acts, she slipped. Instinctively, the monkey kid reached out one hand to grab a hold of something to stop her fall, but to her dismay, she grabbed nothing but pots and pans, dragging them down with her. All the contents, that once were in the small girls arms, now decorated her and the floor. The pots and pans, barely missing her, fell on the floor,too, with a huge crash.
"Owie..," Pudding whined.
"What happened?" Ichigo sleepily asked. She stumbled into the Kitchen, barely a wake, and rubbed her eyes; her shirt hanging off her shoulder.
"Ichigo-oneechan? You're a wake, na no da!"
Ichigo looked around the room for a moment, then back down at the strawberry covered Pudding. "Where's everyone else... and why are you covered in strawberries?"
"Pudding's covered in strawberries because Pudding wanted to make Pudding!"
"WHAT?"
"And everyone else is looking for the kirema anima, na no da! Kisshu-oniichan is looking, too! So you can relax! Rei-oneechan told us what happened last night!"
"Sh-she did?" Ichigo stuttered, face turning as red as the strawberries that Pudding was picking up off the floor and washing.
"Yup!" Pudding replied casually. Ichigo's face now even darker. Pudding transferred all of the ingredients to the center table, then turned towards Ichigo. "Does Ichigo-oneechan wanna help, na no da?"
"Uh! Umm, sure!"
"Thankies! Could you mix the Pudding mixes and milk while I slice the bananas and Ichigos, na no da?"
O.O;;
Meanwhile, Rei and Makoto had explained the situation to Zakuro, Mint and Chibi Usa, so they were now on their way, fully transformed. Kisshu couldn't stop laughing at the fact that they wore mini-skirts during battle and that no one had realized who they were since they looked the same both ways.
They must live in a dimension full of idiots. He previously thought.
"How do you know where they are?" Mint asked Sailor Mars.
"I just do..," Sailor Mars replied.
"Sure."
"There they are," Zakuro stated.
"Sorry," Mint apologized to Mars. "Ribbon... Mint Echo!"
Mint shot her arrow at the kirema anima, but it saw her and teleported right in front of her and knocked the bird girl down.
"MINT!" Everyone shouted, running towards her.
"Ribbon... Zakuro PURE!" The wolf girl shouted out, wrapping the long purple light around the kirema anima; pulling it away... just long enough for the others to rescue Mint. Immediately after the rescue, all the sailor scouts launched their attacks at once. Everyone was quiet for a moment as they watched the smoke clear. When the veil of dust lifted, the fierce kirema anima was no where to be seen.
"Where'd it go?" Sailor Moon asked hastily.
"Did we get it?" Sailor Venus added to Sailor Moon's question in the same speedy manner.
"Don't be stupid!" Kisshu scolded.
"The kirema anima housed energy and power far greater than any human could produce," Pai articulated. "Your ineffectual strength can not defeat such an indomitable force."
"What he said!"
"No! There's a weakness for everything and Yusouki is no exception," Ryou stated.
"We're going to find that weakness and return to our own dimension," Zakuro declared.
Suddenly a bright light engulfed everyone, including the aliens, and before they knew what had happened, everyone found themselves thrown violently into the ground and/or buildings. Yusouki teleported into the center of the mess that it had caused. Pridefully, it scanned the unconscious bodies. It seemed to no longer wish to take commands from those who had created it.
Even though their bodies wouldn't work and their mouths didn't move, the Mew Mews called out for Ichigo... unknowingly.
"Auuh!" Ichigo gasped just after finishing the pudding. The strawberry headed girl's face changed from calm and serene to unbearably frightened. Her eyes became huge, mouth wide open.
"Ichigo-oneechan, what's wrong?" Pudding asked.
"They're in trouble! All of them, they're all in trouble!"
Ichigo grabbed her clothes and threw them on, not taking the time to put her hair up in ribbons, then ran out of the shrine and down the street.
"Ichigo-oneechan?" Pudding grabbed her snack and placed it in a clothe knapsack. "Wait for Pudding, na no da!"
When Ichigo made it to her destination, she found her friends littered across the ground. Beat up and wounded; their clothes were ripped and blood-stained. The aliens, too, were in this condition as well as Ryou. Ichigo stood there, dumbstruck from the horrid shock that had hit her. Pudding ran up beside the cat girl and gasped at the terrifying sight.
"Oh no, na no da!" Pudding shouted. "Pudding and Ichigo-oneechan have to help! Mew Mew Pudding... MetomorphoSIS!"
Ichigo just stood there, frozen, as the monkey girl ran into battle.
"Pudding Ring Inferno!" The blast did nothing. "Ichigo-oneechan, help!"
Yusouki ramned its huge metal head straight into the hyper little girl who was trying desperately to save her fallen comrades. "WAAUH!" She screamed as she was knocked into the same state as the others. This instantly effected Ichigo as tears started flowing down her cheeks.
"No... No... NOOOOO!" she cried out; a pink light appearing around her. "MEW MEW STRAWBERRY... METOMORPHOSIIIIS!" Mew Ichigo appeared and with a vengeance. "Strawberry Bell!" Ichigo raced towards the kirema anima. "Ribbon... strawberry... CHECK!"
The kirema anima teleported behind Mew Ichigo before she could successfully launch her attack. Startled, Ichigo turned around just as Yusouki head butted her.
"WAAAUUUH!" She screamed as she was thrown through a glass window. Despite her injuries, Ichigo got up and bounced back. This time, Yusouki jabbed the pink haired girl in the stomach with one of its metal arms. She fell to her knees and clenched her throbbing stomach.
I-it's toying with me.., Ichigo said to herself. Ugh.. I feel sick... so... dizzy...
The kirema anima started to blur as it floated closer. "I'm done for... Sorry... everyone," Ichigo cried, closing her eyes and lowering her head. Yusouki extended a long blade from its hand and Ichigo felt the wind as it started to swing towards her. As she prepared for the finale blow, she heard metal harshly clink together. Two arms wrapped around her soon after and jerked the beaten cat girl away. Ichigo's eyes shot open, finding herself in Ryou's arms.
"Shi-Shirogane-san?" She jerked her head around to where she had been. Kisshu had drawn his twin dragon swords and blocked Yusouki's attack. The kirema anima put more weight on it's blade, forcing Kisshu back. His arms started to shake. His legs, no longer able to support him, collapsed. His defense broken; Kisshu's swords were thrust back. Leaving him wide open for an attack. Just as Yusouki slashed it's sword towards Kisshu, the alien boy teleported beside Ichigo and Ryou. Barely escaping, Kisshu's shirt had been cut in half. His chest slightly punctured; a few drops of blood dripped down his stomach.
"K-Kisshu?" Ichigo gasped. "Yuh... You're bleeding!"
"Don't worry... it's not bad... unlike you," Kisshu stated, turning his head slightly, scanning Ichigo's cut up body, then flashing a smirk. "Glad to know you're worried though."
Ichigo quickly blinked as a blush appeared on her face. She then realized that she was still in Ryou's arms, which made her blush even more.
"Yo, Blondie! How about we team up... just this once? After all... all the other Mew Mews are out cold."
Ryou placed Ichigo down onto the hard ground. "All right," Ryou replied. "Besides... I have to protect the Mew Mews at all cost!"
Ryou grabbed a rock and threw it at the huge metal creature. Enraged, the kirema anima started after Ryou. As the blond boy distracted it, Kisshu teleported behind Yusouki, stabbing it in the back. It seemed to not feel a thing, though it threw Kisshu off and onto Ryou.
At that time, all the girls came to. Pai, though, had been conscious the entire time, watching the battle. Kisshu and Ryou sat up, rubbing their heads. Yusouki now extended two blades instead of one. Everyone's eyes grew wide as it surprisingly switched targets. No longer was it aiming for Ryou or Kisshu, but for Ichigo once more.
"ICHIGO!" Everyone screamed as the kirema anima sped towards her, not slowing down.
"Wuuaah!" Ichigo squalled, tightly shutting her eyes as she waited for the inevitable blow. When she felt nothing, the pink haired girl wondered if she was dead... or was it toying with her again? Ichigo was too frightened to open her eyes to find out. Suddenly a sticky substance landed on Ichigo's face, then it ran off the side of her head. She heard everyone around her gasp so she figured she must still be alive. Slowly, her eyes opened, now realizing to her shock and horror, both Ryou and Kisshu were above her. Swords sticking out just below their chests. Blood falling heavily.
"Shi... Shirogane-san! Ki... Kisshu... Kun?" Ichigo somehow managed to say.
"Are you... all right?" Ryou asked, pain showing in his voice. Ichigo nodded her head, eyes wide as she looked from Ryou to Kisshu.
"Good," Kisshu smiled. Yusouki withdrew it's blades. Kisshu and Ryou both cried out in pain as they fell down... onto Ichigo. Not looking, she slowly placed her hands on their backs. Her body quivering the entire time as she reached for the wounds... afraid of what she would find... or not find. Reaching the holes, a pain erupted in the pit of Ichigo's stomach and her heart tightened. Now unable to control herself, a mysterious power possessed her and her eyes showed it.
She sit up and moved Kisshu and Ryou to her sides. Now fully standing, she glared at Yusouki... her eyes solid red... no pupils or high lights visible at all. For every step Ichigo took, the kirema anima would move back. Everyone else was too terrified to speak. The kirema anima shot an attack at the cat eared girl, but this time she just swatted it away. This kept on for ten minutes before Yusouki gave up and surrounded the area in light as they were transported into another dimension...
"Gone! Gone!" Masha chirped sadly. Keiichiro's computer screen went blank.
"Not again!" Keiichiro yelled, slamming his hands against the desk. "We were so close this time. I have to reboot the computer and try again. This time, I hope I get to them... before it's too late.
