The scouts began to approach the mysterious individual who was
walking toward them, but a voice came forth from the person in a commanding
tone. "Freeze!" The force with which the word was spoken struck them all
so hard that they could not help but obey.
As the figure continued walking closer and stepped into the light of a streetlamp, they saw a rather tall young woman with fiery red hair and striking green eyes. She wore what appeared to be a red-and-yellow Sailor Scout uniform, and held in her hand a long rod with an orange crystal mounted on the end that emanated an eerie glow. She held it at a menacing angle as she drew nearer, and there was such anger in her expression!
"Stop right there!" Commanded Sailor Moon, beginning her usual pre- battle speech. "I am Sailor Moon, the Champion of. . . "
"Can it!" said the girl, and she indicated all of the people lying unconscious on the streets. "They don't look much like they want to talk, and neither do I!"
"Agreed!" came another voice. . .The same voice that Ami had heard in the science lab, and Rei in Andi's room. Everyone looked down and saw a little yellow cat standing beside her.
"Oh my...APOLLO?!" cried Luna.
"Well," he shot back, "If it isn't Prissy-Pussy Luna!"
"But. . .That's impossible!" exclaimed Artemis, "If you're Apollo, then she must be. . . "
"That's right," said Apollo, "Antares. So why don't you all save yourselves an embarrassing defeat and just surrender?"
"Because we're the Sailor Scouts! That's why!" shouted Sailor Mars. "MARS FIRE IGNITE!"
"MERCURY ICE BUBBLES FREEZE!" The two attacks wizzed though the air at Antares. But she was ready. She leapt nimbly backward and Sailor Mars's and Sailor Mercury's attacks collided and cancelled each other out with a loud hissing sound.
"Nice try," Antares rose to her full towering height. "But it's my turn now! SEISMIC. . . " She raised her staff high over her head, "QUAKE. . . " Her feet levitated off of the ground and she rotated the rod once. "WAVE!" As she screamed out the last word, she brought it down and struck the ground with it, and all at once the earth below them trembled, causing them all to fall on top of one another.
"Ow! Jupiter, that's my arm!"
"Sailor Moon, you're on my hair!"
"Sorry, could you just. . . oof!"
Antares gave Apollo a stern look as he snickered at all of the girls tangled up in each other.
"Look!" cried Mercury, pointing at the energy orb now floating over them.
Sailor Mars only glanced at it for a moment. She could have sworn she felt something in the. . . "AHHH!"
"SAILOR MARS!!!" The scouts all scrambled to their feet to help her, as the orb floated in the air over their heads filling with silver dust.
Antares watched for a moment as Mars hung limply in her friends' arms, then leaped through the air over their heads and snatched the orb out of the air. Quickly, she wheeled about and raised her rod in the air once again. "Rod of Antares. . . Teleport!" And then Antares vanished. . . along with Apollo and the orb.
