Ready for the cliffhanger to end? Thank you for the 5 reviews I got & I realize you aren't reading this, so I'll stop…I don't own sailor moon.

Serena shielded Rini from the blast & waited for it to come. But nothing came.

Serena looked up & saw 4 familiar figures…

"Sailor Mercury, Brilliant Fighter!" She posed.

"Sailor Mars, Passionate Fighter!" She posed as well.

"Sailor Jupiter, Brawny Fighter!" She posed next to Mars.

"Sailor Venus, Dynamic Fighter!" She posed next to Mercury.

Together they shouted. "And we are the SAILOR SCOUTS!"

Bertie smirked at the girls. "So this is Earth's defense? Catzi was right, you are pathetic!"

The scouts glared at her. "We'll show you pathetic."

Sailor Mars jumped down. "I'll go first." She spun around & held her fingers together while a ball of fire formed. The ball of fire continued to grow. "Mars Fire Ignite!" She sent it out towards the enemy. As the fireball headed toward Bertie, it changed into a stream of fire.

Bertie laughed & used her Dark Water to extinguish it. "Is that the best you can do?"

Jupiter glowered at her. "Not even close." In a whisper, she tells Venus something. Venus nods & walks over to Serena & Rini. "Come on, let's go."

Serena nods & the three of them begin to walk away.

Bertie sees this. "Not so fast!" But Jupiter is in front of her, getting ready to attack.

"Jupiter, lend me your strength & power." Her tiara formed a lighting rod, & lightning shot down onto it. She begins to form into a ball while lighting gathers all around her. "Jupiter Thunder Dragon!" She extended herself & released all the electricity at Bertie. The lightning changed into a dragon & attacked.

"Oh, come on." Bertie yawns, dodging it. She looks down at the three girls & laughs. "Give me a real fight."

While all this is going on, Venus has lead Serena & Rini to a safe haven. "Stay here. One of us will come when it's safe." She jumps off, back to the battle.

Serena & Rini watch, Rini in awe & Serena feeling helpless. "Wow. Who are they?" Rini asks.

"The Sailor Scouts." Serena smiles at the girl.

"I remember them. But where's Sailor Moon?"

Serena frowns. "Um…I'm sure she'll show up soon."

"I hope so. She's my favorite." Rini says, watching the smoke from Jupiter's attack.

Serena barely keeps her grin down. "Mine too."

Back at the battle, Bertie is laughing evilly. "Do you want me to destroy you now & do you want to keep fighting?"

"What do you think?" a voice calls out.

Bertie turns & sees Sailor Venus arriving. "So, you're back. Where's the rabbit?"

"I'm not telling, so you can just go back to where you came from."

"And what if I don't?"

Venus smirked. "You'll be sorry." Two crescent moons appear back to back as a while light formed around it. The light turns into bubbles & Sailor Venus throws her finger in the air & gathers its energy. She points her finger toward Bertie . "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"

"This is getting old." Bertie blocks it & begins to gather energy once more. "I'm going to finish this. Then I'm going after the rabbit." The orb of water forms once more, but before she can shout out the attack, Mercury is up in her face, ready to combat her.

She put her hands together & a large bubble formed. As the bubble gathered energy, she spun around & it rested in front of her hands. "Mercury Bubbles Blast!" She sends the bubble out, & it turned into hundred of bubbles which blinded Bertie.

"Hey, what happened?" Bertie exclaimed, swiping the fog away, her attack forgotten.

The scouts smiled at each other & nodded.

"Mars Fire Ignite!"

"Jupiter Thunder Dragon!"

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"

"Mercury Bubbles Blast!"

The four attacks gathered & flew toward Bertie. Unfortunately, she saw it coming & dodged it barely.

Floating above, she wiped some blood off the corner of her mouth. "I'll be back & I won't leave without the rabbit next time!" She disappeared in a flurry of blue ribbons.

"Good riddance!" Mars shouted after her.

Meanwhile, Serena was arguing with Rini about whether to go or to stay.

"But I want to see them fight!" Rini whined.

"No! It's dangerous!" Serena said, holding her.

"I don't have to listen to you. You're not my mommy!" she shouted.

"No I'm not, but I am your guardian, & I say NO!" Serena shouts.

"Having a little family tiff out here?" a voice says.

The two girls look up & see the four scouts standing in front of them. Serena notices they're a little beat up, but doesn't say anything.

"Hey guys! Did you beat that old bat?" Rini asks.

The scouts chuckle. "Yes we did. Sent her back home." Jupiter said, making a fist.

Serena smiles. "Thank you. But we should be going."

The scouts nodded. "OK, but be careful."

"We will. Bye." Serena limps away, Rini following her, waving goodbye to the scouts.

The scouts watch them go. "That girl is definitely not ordinary." Mercury concludes.

The scouts agree. "We better keep an eye on those two." Venus said, leaping onto a building.

The others nod & follow her. They leap off after the two girls, staying hidden.

Please RR.
