I present to you yet another fun filled chapter!
Elphie Muse: Fun filled?
Well...action filled...
Elphie Muse: Maybe we should stop talking and just let the readers read.
Yes, and then they'll be good and review like good, faithful readers...EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVEN'T BEEN! BAD BAD BAD READERS! REVIEWS ARE NOW MANDATORY FOR UPDATES! I don't care how long it takes to get the desired reviews. I'll wait.
Elphie Muse: Hold your breath...

Elphie Muse: The recognizable stuff doesn't belong to us...hey! The author is changing colors!
Previously on Eternal Senshi I: Rise of the Vampires...
Kaze leapt up into the air and made his way to the roof. The others followed. What they saw shocked them to the core. "What…what is that?" Mercury asked. A large black gate had risen in the middle of the city.
"Something I'd hoped never to see again…" Kaze said softly. "If Ketsuki opens it…we're all doomed."
"We've died before," Uranus said.
Kaze shook his head. "You won't die. That gate…it leads to hell." Everyone stared at him in shock and disbelief.
"When you say hell…" Minako began.
"I mean hell. Fire, brimstone, torture for eternity…" Kaze trailed off.
"You've been there before?" Saturn asked.
"Where do you think I got my vampire half ripped out?" he asked in reply. "We have to hurry."
"So let's go," Moon said.
The thirteen fighters began leaping from building top to building top, making their way towards the large black and red gate. Kaze skidded to a halt with the others as the sky blackened.
"This isn't good," Mars said.
Dozens of vampires surrounded them, death in their eyes. "Definitely not good," Fighter agreed.
"You will die here," one snarled.
"We need to go now," Neptune said.
"Sky Sword Blaster!" Kaze yelled. The attack pushed the vampires back but didn't kill any of them. "Kuso…"
"Now what?" Mercury asked.
"Get to that gate and stop Ketsuki," Uranus ordered.
"Demo!" Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn cried.
"Kaze and I can handle these guys. Go!" Uranus commanded.
"Iie! We're not leaving you behind!" Moon said.
"Yes you are," Kaze returned. He shot his hand out and a portal formed behind the twelve Senshi. He whirled around in a circle and shot both his hands out. A gust of wind forced the dozen Senshi through and he immediately closed the portal.
"Nice power," Uranus said as she stood back to back with her brother as the vampires encircled them.
"It has its moments," he returned. "You know…in retrospect," he began as he looked at the mass of vampires, "perhaps we should have gone with them."
"Don't tell me you're afraid of some sharp pointy teeth," Uranus smirked.
"Well I'm just so damned concerned for you," he shot back.
"Omoshiroi," Uranus laughed. Her mirth slowly died. "Guess there's nothing left to do but go all out."
"So da ne," Kaze agreed (That's true/You're right). He pulled his sword out as did Uranus. "Bet I kill more than you," he challenged.
Uranus snorted. "You're on," she said. The twins charged in at the same time as the vampires, their blades flashing by and through vampires. The two soon found themselves back to back again, only a small handful of the vampires being defeated.
"I get the feeling these guys are stronger than the others," Kaze commented.
"What was your first clue?" Uranus retorted.
"We are the best warriors of the mistress," a vampire sneered. "You both shall die here!" she declared.
"Looks like this might be our final battle field," Kaze said.
"I'm not giving into defeat that easily," Uranus said.
"I said might, not will be," he retorted.
"Okay. So any thoughts on our next move?" she asked.
"How about some double teaming?" he inquired.
Uranus smiled. "I'm game." The pair remained back to back and started fighting, moving in a circle. They dodged kicks, punches, and swipes as they moved. Their movements were fluid and well coordinated. Uranus and Kaze had the skill, but the vampires had sheer numbers on their side. Soon the pair was engulf by the vampires.

"So you made it this far," Ketsuki sneered as the Sailor Senshi appeared before her. "It's too bad about your friends. I'm sure those two are dead by now."
"You'll never beat us Ketsuki!" Moon returned.
"We'll fight you to death and beyond!" Neptune added.
"For hurting innocent people and damaging this city we won't forgive you! The pretty soldiers of love and justice in sailor suits…" Moon began.
"Sailor Team!"
"In the name of the moon…" Sailor Moon went on.
"We shall punish you!" the five Inners finished.
(A/N: These three lines are from the musical; just a different way to say their lines)
"My guardian is the Ruler of the Oceans Planet, the soldier of affinity, Sailor Neptune!" she said.
"My guardian is the Ruler of the Underworld Planet, the soldier of revolution, Sailor Pluto!"
"My guardian is the Ground Planet, the soldier of ruin, Sailor Saturn!"
"Penetrating the darkness of night…"
"The air of freedom breaks through!"
"We are the three sacred shooting stars…Sailor Star Fighter!"
"Sailor Star Maker!"
"Sailor Star Healer!"
"Sailor Starlights! Stage on!"
"I shall enjoy watching you all die," Ketsuki snarled. "Kill them all my warriors!" she screamed.
Two scores of vampires came pouring out of the surrounding buildings. The Senshi grouped together and began fighting back. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!"
"Star Gentle Uterus!"
"Submarine Reflection!"
"Dead Scream."
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
"Star Sensitive Inferno!"
"Star Serious Laser!"
"Silver Moon! Crystal Power Kiss!"
The attacks cut into the vampires, but barely made a dent in their numbers. "This could be bad…" Fighter muttered.
"We have to do whatever we can to stop them!" Mercury said.
"The people of this city are depending on us!" Moon added.
"We can't let Uranus and Kaze's sacrifice be in vain," Jupiter yelled, dodging a flurry of punches.
The Sailor Senshi and Starlights fought bravely, but the vampires quickly regained the upper hand. The defenders of Earth were shoved to their knees in front of Ketsuki who was laughing triumphantly.
"I told you it was pointless to fight me," she smirked. "Though if you surrender I might allow you to join our vampire ranks."
"We'd rather die!" Moon yelled back. "And you haven't won anything yet. Uranus and Kaze are still alive and will…" she was cut off by Ketsuki's sudden outburst of cruel, amused laughter.
"Alive? While you tried to stop me here my best warriors killed the pair of them. They are nothing but mere bugs who were squashed underneath my boot," Ketsuki sneered. "Not even your precious Tuxedo Kamen could stop my best warrior."
Moon's eyes widened. "You…you killed him?" she asked softly.
"He was killed on my order," Ketsuki corrected.
Moon slumped in her captor's arms. "It…it can't be…please let this be a dream…" she whispered.
"Pull it together Sailor Moon!" Fighter yelled.
"She knows now how inevitable it is to resist. Surrender and it will all be over," Ketsuki told them.
"Kaze and Uranus would never give up and neither will we!" Jupiter snapped. "You'll pay for killing them!"
"My Queen, do you hear that?" a vampire asked.
"Hear what?" Ketsuki demanded.
"It sounds like…a pair of motorcycles," he replied.
"Masaka…" Ketsuki whispered.

Sky plopped down on the rooftop, thoroughly exhausted. "Twenty-four," he grinned as Haruka joined him.
"Twenty-six," she returned with a smile.
"Damn…" he grinned.
"We can't stay here," she said.
He nodded resolutely. "I know," he said. He rose to his feet and rolled his shoulders out. "The others need our help."
"I believe you were wrong," she said, rising to her feet as well.
"About what?" he asked.
"Well, you said this was going to be our last battle, but it wasn't," she explained.
"Your point?" he asked.
"Maybe wait and see next time," she suggested.
"And possibly miss the last chance of being right?" he smirked.
"What?" she asked.
"Come on. We got asses to kick and save," he said.
"You're lucky you're my brother," she muttered. She looked at the gate. "We'll never reach the gate in time on foot. Can't you make another portal and get us there?"
"It takes a lot of power to make a portal," he said.
"So what do you suggest?" she asked.
"Care for a bike race?" he chuckled.
"You are so losing this time," she informed him.
"We'll see." They quickly went down to the street and ran to Sky's apartment building which only two blocks away. They went down into the garage and walked over to two bikes.
"These are…amazing…" Haruka said in awe. The motorcycles were long and sleek. Two wheels were placed together as close as possible on the front and back giving the cycles four wheels total. The motorcycles were painted dark blue and similar colored helmets sat on the seats.
Sky grinned. "Made them myself."
"So they'll blow up when started?" Haruka asked.
"Ha freaking ha," he muttered. "Just try to hold on, okay? These things go faster than any bike ever made," he boasted. "Let's go," he said.
"Uranus Crystal Power! Make UP!"
"In the name of Uranus I call upon the Guardians' power!" Sky called.
Kaze looked at Uranus who nodded. Both got on the bikes and peeled out of the garage, leaving the helmets behind. They guided the cycles through the deserted streets, dodging abandoned cars.
"They're up ahead!" Uranus yelled over the roar of the engines.
Kaze grinned when he saw a truck that carried cars to dealerships. He glanced over at Uranus who shook her head in amusement. She followed him however and the pair hit the ramp to the carrier at the same time. They went soaring through the air.

"It sounds like the motorcycles are in the sky…" one vampire murmured.
"Incoming!" a voice shouted. Two motorcycles fell from the sky. The motorcycles landed on top of several vampires.
"Who dares?" Ketsuki demanded.
"Space Sword Blaster!" One vampire turned to dust.
"That attack…" Neptune said slowly, hope in her eyes and voice.
(A/N: Here's Uranus' line from one of the musicals)
"My guardian is the Ruler of the Heavens Planet, soldier of rebellion, Sailor Uranus!" a voice yelled.
"Masaka! My best warriors should have killed you easily!" Ketsuki cried.
"Sky Sword Blaster!"
"That…that's…" Ketsuki sputtered.
"Hailing from the planet of wind and sky, I am Kaze, Guardian of Uranus!"
"How? I stripped you of your powers!" Ketsuki cried.
"You stripped me of my vampire side, cutting off any and all relation we had. Not only that, but by doing that you awoke my Guardian side. So I guess I do owe you some thanks," he said.
"You will die!" Ketsuki swore.
"You always say that," Uranus smirked.
"I'm a bit tired of this…how about you?" Kaze asked.
"Yeah. I am." The two raised their swords.
"I wouldn't if I were you," Ketsuki informed them.
"Why?" Uranus demanded.
"If you don't surrender and swear fealty to me, I will kill your friends, starting with Sailor Moon!" she snarled.
Kaze turned and saw that the vampires holding the other Senshi had wrapped their arms around their necks. "Kuso…" he growled.
:Has stopped holding breath: Things are getting really interesting. Please review and let me know how much you liked it. I worked hard on this story and I haven't gotten too many reviews...hells, I didn't get any for the last two chapters. That's depressing to an author. It makes one feel as though their story is pathetic.
Elphie Muse: We're collecting reviews for the author support fund. Please help and donate reviews. All we ask is for a little review. Please help support the authors.
And until they review, no more updates even though this fic and the sequel are finished. This story is now being held hostage for at least five reviews FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I don't care if they're signed or unsigned reviews. The more reviews might mean more updates. HINTHINT!
