I'm almost done with this story… unless someone can suggest more eevul operation lover plans… By the way, the generals are good in this story!
Chapter 21: The generals
"Ugh!"
The girls and Andrew were quiet when Mina uttered the phrase that every one was feeling.
"Our plans aren't working! What's wrong!"
"We need something that will get them together… fast!"
Ami held up her hand for quiet.
"Wait, let's think this out first. Operation Lover Plan E: blind date failed. Shouldn't we read the rest of the plans first and choose the best suited one?"
"She's got a point."
Rei yawned and lazily commented," Why don't we just stick them together for a long time?"
Lita's brown eyes rolled and she clenched her fists expiramentally," We tried that already. The closet didn't work."
Andrew sighed.
"Why don't we just leave them alone?"
"WHAT!"
"Okay okay… Geez… No need to get offensive…"
"All that hard work and now you're saying give up?"
Suddenly screams were heard. The girls looked at each other.
"Bye Andrew, gotta go!"
The Senshi arrived at the scene of chaos to find someone fighting four youma already. They hid nearby and observed while Sailor Mercury called Serena over. Four men, each in different colored suit fought using different powers. One wore a dark red suit and fought a youma with a sword. Another wore dark blue fought using ice daggers. Shouting defiantly, the third wore a dark green suit levitated around and called down power strikes on a youma. The last wore a silver suit with a dark gray cape and fought with both sword and magic.
"Who are they?"
"I don't know."
"Sailor Moon is on her way. I've assessed the men's powers. The one with the cape seems to be the leader. Their energy is not negative, but they are not part of our senshi."
The youma slowly overpowered the men and started draining the men's energies. The first to go down was the dark blue suited man.
"Zoicite!"
The dark green man went down seconds after he shouted. The silver suited man roared out orders to the others but the others went down.
"Zoicite, Jadiete, Nephrite! Hold your positions!"
The silver suited man was the last to go down.
The men were being drained of energy, their struggles getting weaker as time passed. The senshi bickered for a while. The men coud be enemies, but they needed help. They needed information, but wouldn't get any if the men were killed. They decided to aid the men temporarily. The Senshi jumped out and fought the youma.
Sailor Jupiter punched the youma and the youma flew several feet.
"Lightning strike!"
Thunder scorched it and it screeched before turning into dust. The dark green suit man lay limply on the floor.
"Hey… Are you okay?"
Sailor Jupiter walked to the man who groaned and raised himself to his knees. Sailor Jupiter helped him up and supported him.
"Who are you?"
"Nephrite… and you are?"
"Sailor Jupiter."
"Nice to meet you."
Sailor Mars chanted and pointed. The youma screamed before it burned into ashes. The red-suited man stood up shakily, pale.
"Who are you?"
"Jadeite."
The man swayed a little and leaned on his sword. Unsure of what to do Sailor Mars replied.
"I'm Sailor Mars."
"That's… nice…"
The man collapsed, drained almost fully. Sailor Mars sighed.
Sailor Mercury hit the weak point of the youma and it crumpled into dust. The man, Zoicite, stumbled out and fell onto his knees panting.
"Zoicite? Are you okay sir?"
"Just… drained… And… you… are…?"
"Sailor Mercury."
Sailor Mercury helped Zoicite up and he leaned lightly on her.
Sailor Venus whipped the youma away and it dropped the silver suited man, who lay gasping on his side. Sailor Venus destroyed the youma with one last beam and turend around.
"Hey, I'm Sailor Venus!"
She pulled the man up and he bowed slightly.
"I am Malachite, pleased to meet you."
The Senshi and the men gathered to where Jadeite was. Sailor Mars had her arms crossed and wouldn't budge to help Jadeite, who had collapsed the draining too much for him.
"I refuse to help this man who might be an enemy."
Malachite coolly replied," There is no need for you to. However, we might not be foe to you Senshi. When I meet with your leader perhaps we can assess that."
Sailor Venus stepped up.
"I am the leader of the Senshi, who's duty is to protect citizens and Princess Serenity of the moon."
Her voice was serious, very different from the tone she had greeted Malachite formerly. Malachite smoothly talked.
"We are the generals and we serve our prince of Earth, Endymion. We both serve our own monarch. I suggest that we band together when protecting citizens, but other than that, you will not need to interact with us. We do not wish to disturb you, if that's how you feel about us. However, if you endanger our prince, we will fight you."
Sailor Venus nodded gravely.
"Very well, we can be allies to protect citizens, but beyond that, it is not necessary to interact."
Malachite bowed once more.
"We thank you for your assistance today. Until next time."
Malachite picked up Jadiete and they left. Sailor Moon arrived just in time to see them leave.
"Who are they?"
Sailor Mercury told her what happened. Sailor Mars rolled her eyes.
"Some very arrogant men."
"Some very arrogant hot men." Sailor Venus winked.
"Why were you late… again?"
Sailor Moon sighed.
"I'm sorry. It took me a long time to distract my mom and brother."
Sailor Mercury patted her shoulder sympathatically.
"Don't worry. I managed to gather some data about Tuxedo Mask! He only appears after you come. So if we were to wait while you are transformed, he would come."
