Moon and Thunder 5 – By DS Wynne
Disclaimer: "Sailor Moon", "SHAZAM!" and other genres belong to their respective owners.
Note: This is a fusion story.
Chosen from among all others by the immortal "Elders", Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury, Serena Saotome and her guardian Nodoka travel the highways and the byways of the land on the never ending mission: to right wrongs, to develop understanding, and to seek justice for all. In time of dire need, young Serena has been granted the power by the immortals to summon awesome forces at the utterance of a single word-
"SHAZAM!" Serena yells.
BOOM!
A word, which transforms her, in a flash, into the mightiest of mortal beings, CAPTAIN MARVEL!
Part 5
Captain Marvel and her side-kick Captain Marvel, Jr.-
"I ain't her sidekick!" Ranma fumed.
Oh, sorry about that.
Captain Marvel and her PARTNER Captain Marvel, Jr.-
"Much better," Ranma replies smugly.
Thank you.
Anyway, 'Marvel and Captain Marvel, Jr. (or, simply "CMJ") were flying towards "Point D", the portal that led to the infamous "Negaverse". The Negaverse, ruled by Queen Beryl, has been in the thorn in the collective sides of the Sailor Scouts, champions of Love and Justice. Through her minions, Beryl hopes to collect enough life-energy to release her mistress "Mattalia", a powerful entity that seeks to dominate the known universe. So, "the Marvel Siblings" have joined forces with the Sailor Scouts in order to stop Beryl's plan, while attempting a rescue of Prince Darien. Darien, who was the love of 'Marvel's previous incarnation, had been brain washed into siding with the Negaverse. How 'Marvel feels about Darien now is an open-ended question.
Using the speed of Mercury, Serena and Ranma made their way to the Artic, just in time to see the Sailor Scouts in the midst of battle. Each one was fighting a "doppelganger" of their respective abilities.
"Look!" Sailor Moon said, as she ducked her opponent.
Ranma tucked his legs in, and performed a cannonball…on the thick sheet of ice.
BOOM!
The shards of broken ice rained all over the battlefield, as Serena scooped up her allies. The remaining combatants, Beryl's minions, were rained upon by the shards and took damage.
"Guys, we have an opportunity!" Moon declared, as she took out her Crescent Moon Wand.
"Right!" said the Sailor Scouts, as they got into their poses.
"Moon Healing ACTIVATION!"
"Mercury Bubble BLAST!
"Mars Fire IGNITES!"
"Jupiter Thunder CRASH!"
"Venus Crescent Beam SMASH!"
"AHHHHHHHHHH-!"
With the "doppelganger youma" defeated, the Sailors were prepared to go into "D Point". However…
"STOP!"
There, standing before the gathered allies was Malachite.
"You brats are interfering in the Negaverse's plans for domination. I can't allow that to continue. SABBAC!"
FWOOSH!
Malachite was engulfed in flames. When the flames subsided, Malachite appeared to be more…demonic. Standing seven feet tall, built like a truck, reddish in color, and possessing horns and glowing eyes, Malachite sneered.
"I possess the power of six of the greatest devils of Hell!" Malachite roared, as he raised his clawed fists. "Now, you will pay!"
"Guys, you go on after Beryl," CMJ said, as he stepped forward. "I'll deal with the creep!"
"Be careful, Ranma!" 'Marvel said, as she and the Sailor Scouts ran into Point D.
"Hey, I'm RAMNA. I can't loose."
'Marvel rolls her eyes.
"Come here!" Malachite says, as he tries to intercept 'Marvel and friends.
Ranma intervenes.
"Your beef is with ME."
Malachite sneers.
"I grind your bones, boy!"
"We'll see, big red," Ranma says, as he cracks his knuckles.
Meanwhile, 'Marvel and the Sailor Scouts make their way to Queen Beryl's citadel, as they plowed through the minions.
At the same time…
Malachite speed allowed him to connect more often than not.
POW!
Ranma rolled with the punch, and whipped out a back-fist. Malachite's jaw twisted, as Ranma delivered a wheel-kick to the ribs and stomach.
"Argh!"
"Had enough, freak?" Ranma mocked.
"Hardly, boy!"
Suddenly, Malachite opened his mouth and let loose a stream of hell-fire…
FWOOSH!
"Yikes!" Ranma squeaked.
Back at Beryl's castle, Lady Marvel and Sailor Scouts have managed to make it at the courtyard, yet there was no one there.
"What should we do, leader-girl?" 'Marvel asked Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon blushed at the comment. She was glad that even though Captain
Marvel was "The Moon Princess", she deferred to Moon's leadership.
"Is there a way to call Beryl out?" Moon asked.
"Hmmm. From my experience with ol' Doc Sivana, nothing ticks the main boss more than to taunt him."
"Right. Shall I?"
"The pleasure is mine."
Sailor Moon steps forward.
"Oh, Beryl-chan!" Moon began. "Your mother wears combat boots!"
"…"
"Was that good enough?" Moon asked.
"Actually, I was thinking along the lines of this," Serena said, as she stepped forward. "It's something that my Pops taught me."
Then, Lady Marvel took a sentai stance.
"Yo, Beryl! You're too old, you're too slow, and the only reason Darien's with ya is 'cuz you're too desperate, you old bag!"
"That was pretty harsh," Sailor Mercury said.
"It's all part of my adopted family's martial arts style."
"Well, I do hope it works," Sailor Venus replies.
Suddenly…
"You little girls think you can draw me out!"
Queen Beryl appears, as she hovers above.
"Well, you're here, aren't you?" 'Marvel replies with a smirk.
"That's not the point, Serenity look-alike!"
"That really hurt, Ber-chan."
"But no matter. I think that you and Prince Darien should get reacquainted. Oh, Prince Darien?"
Prince Darien pops into existence, wearing his Silver Millennium armor.
"Prince Darien? KILL."
"Of, course, Your Majesty," Prince Darien said, as he took after Captain Marvel.
"Guys, I'll take care of Darien, you take care of Beryl," Lady said, as she braced for impact. "Move it!"
BOOM!
Darien torpedoes Serena, as the two of them goes straight into the ground. Serena's "aura senses" had told her that Darien's power levels were amplified tremendously.
"Your rejection of me will be your undoing," Darien said, as he took a swung at Serena.
"Feh," Lady replies, as she ducks. "First, I'm only 14 years old."
POW!
"Second, I don't have time for a relationship; my Art and my duties comes first."
CRACK!
"And lastly, if you want to be my friend, get to know ME! I ain't just the Moon Princess, you know."
BAM!
Prince Darien's crumpled form landed with a thud.
'Marvel then picked up Darien and yelled…
"SHAZAM!"
BOOM!
The magic lightning had healing properties, so Lady used it to remove the Negaverse taint.
"Uh, Serena?" Darien said, as he woke up.
"Ugh, yeah?"
"You can let me down, now," Darien smirked.
"Okay!"
CLOMP!
"Owie."
"So, what's next?"
"Well, Nephrite is holed up in a dungeon some place, so…"
"Great, you do that!" Serena said. "I gots to help my friends. SHAZAM!"
BOOM!
'Marvel turns to gives Darien a peck on the cheek.
"You tell ANYONE that I kissed you, I'll flatten ya!"
"Sure, sure, no problem!"
Meanwhile, the Sailor Scouts were able to defeat Queen Beryl, thanks to a combination of teamwork and willpower.
"You're DUSTED!" Sailor Moon declared.
"You…can't…stop…ME!" Beryl. "MATTALIA! GIVE ME STRENGTH!"
BOOM!
Queen Beryl grew huge, thanks to the fusion of dark energy to her form.
"NOW I'M PLAYING WITH POWER! DIE!"
ZAP!
A huge bolt of energy was thrown at Sailor Moon and her friends.
"Aieeee-!" Moon began.
FRAK!
Lady Marvel used hand to block the bolt.
"Guys, get out of here!" Lady grunted.
"What about you?"
"This fight is no longer yours! You stopped Beryl, and now, it's time for my Elders to deal with Mattalia!"
Moon nodded.
"Good luck!" Moon said, as she turns around. "Guys, move it!"
Lady Marvel turns back to Beryl/Mattalia.
"You think you know power? Behold!"
All around Lady Marvel, the ghostly forms of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas,
Zeus, Achilles and Mercury towered over her. Beryl/Mattalia looked at this assembled group, and big sweated.
"WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU," said Solomon.
Beryl/Mattalia knew that it was over, as did her dreams of domination.
Meanwhile, another battle is being resolved.
BAMF!
Malachite was hurting all over, as he flopped to the ground. Ranma, somewhat worse for wear, puts the Negaverse general in a headlock.
"Say it! SAY IT!" Ranma demanded.
"SAB…BAC!"
BOOM!
"See? I win!"
In the days after Beryl's defeat…
"So, what happened?" Molly asks, as Serena and the gang were hanging out
at the arcade.
"Beryl, and Mattalia and Malachite for that matter, is imprisoned in the Rock of Eternity, where they will stay put for, well, eternity. The rest, you already know."
With Nephrite (aka "Maxwell Stanton") and Prince Darien freed from the Negaverse, they decided to become roommates, while Nephrite thinks of what he should do with his life.
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Look, I got to run. Ranma and Pops are planning to go back on their 'training journey', or something like that. And Mom is thinking about going with them. And Molly? As MY warrior, I know that you'll do okay as 'Sailor Moon'."
"Th-thanks for thevote of confidence, Serena," Molly replies. "I promise that you'll be proud of me."
"I know."
A week later…
"Ah, Nodoka, you don't have to come," Genma said, as he loaded up the pack in the family station wagon.
"Serena needs more training, as do Ranma," Nodoka said, as she loaded up her own pack on board. "Besides, it'll get a chance for us to be husband and wife."
"Yes, dear."
"So, Ranma, where's Pops going to take us?" Serena asked.
"He's thinking about going to China," Ranma said. "There's all kinds of training grounds over there."
"Okay, but if Dad takes us to some cursed ground, Mom will get upset."
Fin.
