Episode 5 Act 4 Scouts to Arms
Serena mocked Rei and walked out. she had her broach in her hand ready to transform any minute now. "Moon Crisis Power!" She yelled and a light show went on to transformed into Sailor Moon and was ready to go anytime. "Come on lets get a move on it." she started to leave.
"Mars Star Power! Make Up!" Rei says running out and changing.
Sailor Moon looked behind her to see that Rei was transforming. "Now...which way?" She looked around trying to see which way she had to go.
Mars closed her eyes then pointed toward the park. "That way."
They hear an explosion from the direction of the park followed by brief flashes and lighting bolts.
The beast climbs out of the pool of water Mercury created and snaps unsuccessfully at the rose. Its eyes turn to Starstrike. It rushes her slowed only slightly by the rose. She manages to dodge the first attack but gets hammered by a second swipe of its other paw. She is spun around then falls flat on her face. Wincing with determination she places her left hand under her and begins to try and raise. Her left hand just lays there limp.
"Shadow Lightning Strike!" Krahazik screams emerging from a shadow with his sword in hand. A bolt of black lightning strikes out from the sword to strike the beast from behind. It pauses to glance at the new threat come to annoy it.
Tuxedo leaps in front of the beast and blocks it's path. "Get back and wait for Sailor Moon. I will fend it off."
"Tuxedo Mask..." Mercury just says his name, then nods and helps the others back until Moon gets there.
Krahazik sends a dozen volleys in fast succession at the beast. It growls at him turning from Starstrike satisfied she isn't going any where and Krahazik is annoying it. "I have barely scratched that thing?" Krahazik breaths panting, but mildly glad he finally got its attention.
Moon nodded. "Alright lets go. I hope we aren't to late." she starts to run toward the park Hoping everyone was okay and not hurt.
With its back turned Starstrike manages to silently get to her knees. Her face is a mask of pain as she grits her teeth. From the way her left arm is hanging, it must have been broken in that last attack she took from it. The beasts back is only feet from her but she is in the open with a single shadow near her. The beast is not casting any shadows either. She glances at the noon day sun.
As Moon and the others get there, they see Tuxedo fending off a beast.
"MARS FIRE SURROUND!" Mars sends a blast at the beast.
The beast roars defiantly as the fire engulfs it. It jumps clear of the flames, its hide burned and scorched. Its red eyes scan the area.
Starstrike rolls clear of the burning area. She spots her sword and begins limping toward it slowly.
The beast takes note of Starstrike being up and moving and locks onto her.
"Well, that looked like it stung it a bit." Krahazik comments.
"Hmm...Lets see if this would work." She had her moon wand in hand. "MOON HONEY THERAPY KISS!" she yelled and aimed at the monster dude.
The beast stares at the blast from Moon for just a moment before diving aside. It snorts angrily at Sailor Moon and charges her.
"Shadow WEB!" Krahazik yells spreading his hands. A giant black spider web springs up in front of the beast. It strikes the web and is slowed for but a moment as it shreds the web like it was nothing and continues its charge. "Does nothing I have work on that thing?" Krahazik gasps.
"MARS FIRE ARROW!" Mars says shooting it, to back it away from Moon. "Back off shaggy!" she yells at it.
It leaps back just narrowly avoiding the arrow and glares at Mars. It charges her.
Starstrike reaches her sword and drops to a knee grunting as she tries to pick it up.
Krahazik hits it in the back with a Lightning bolt. It jerks pausing in its charge to look behind it at Krahazik.
The group hears a soft, distant child's laughter. Mina ignores it and puts her attention on the beast. "Venus.. Venus love me chain!" She paused, and her eyes widened. Her powers weren't working! "Huh!"
"Okay this ugly looking thing is starting to tick me off." she said. She held her wand and changed it to her moon sword. "I didn't want to use this but I'm guessing I will have to." she glares at the ugly looking thing.
"MERCURY BUBBLES!" Mercury sends a blast at it.
Jupiter sends a strike at it, then Uranus finishes. "URANUS WORLD SHAKING!"
The beast takes both shots direct in the side and rolls over several times as the smoke clears. It growls angrily as it slowly pulls its self to its feet. There is a neat line in the side of its hide where it has peeled open form the blasts. A sonic blast blows out the ground around its feet knocking it to the ground again.
Starstrike stand weekly the point of her sword firmly in the ground as she leans on it with her right hand using it as a cane to help her stand. Her hair is a mess and her clothes are nearly gone. Her left arm hangs limply. The bleeding from her chest sounds has stopped and furry and rage mark her face.
"CRESCENT BEAM SHOWER!" Venus yells again but this time nothing happened. 'What is going on!'
Krahazik walks over to Venus, "Shouldn't that have produced an attack or something?"
"They're not working!" Mina screams.
"I think we got it." Mars says. She goes over to Venus, "Are you okay?" she places her hands on Venus and gets a premonition. "Ah!.." Mars falls on her butt.
The beast begins to get up again. Krahazik tows his hand out hitting it with a lighting bolt. A section of its hide cracks but it continues to clamored weekly to its feet. "Well mine work but it seams resistant to my powers."
'I wander if anyone cares if I decide to use my Moon sword. It does drain my energy a little...But hey...' she thought to herself. she glared at the ugly looking monster in front of her. "This thing is way to strong how in the world are we going to defeat it if it keeps dissing our attacks...I mean mines won't even work." she rambled.
The beast finally manages to get to its feet. Its skin burnt and blistered. There is a gash in its left side with a smaller cut not far from it. It takes a step toward Starstrike. It is moving much slower than it used to be.
Serena noticed this. "I think I get it now." She smiles to herself. 'The only ones that actually had an impact on it was Fire and Lightening...Maybe if they combine the two...it might just work. I hope it works." She goes over to the others.
Jupiter looks at Moon, "Sailor Moon, what's that look for?"
"Seeing how none of mines or the others attacks work. You and Mars seem to have an effect on mister ugly. Why don't the two of you try combing your attacks and giving him a taste of his own medicine. It just might work seeing how I can't do anything but wave around my sword and yell at it." she smiles.
"Your attack just missed you twit." Krahazik points out to Sailor Moon, "You could probably hit it blind folded now. It doesn't seem as spry as it used to be. And Mercury's attacks worked well against it was well." Krahazik hits it with another lighting bolt. It doesn't even seem to notice. "You'll note my lightning attacks just about useless. I scratch it."
"But last time it worked...I know Mars burned it pretty badly...then I don't know. You ruined my plan." She says and brings out her wand again. making her sword go away. "I doubt it will work again." she says turning to mister ugly. "MOON HONEY THERAPY KISS." she gave it one more try hoping it hit mister ugly.
The beats rolls over as half its hides is sheered away from the blast. It stands barely and tries to take a step toward Starstrike falling on to its left front knee.
"That thing has a 1 track stubborn mind." Krahazik comments.
Starstrike manages with a shriek to hurl her sword at the beast impaling it in its now unshielded head between the eyes. It falls over on its side. Starstrike falls backward and looses consciousness.
Mars shook her head, then noticed that Jupiter and Moon were talking. "What's up guys?"
"Well nothing now. Mister ugly demon is gone thanks to the lady over there unconscious on the ground." She crossed her arms. "How in the world did that monster get here and why did it come?"
"Good question." Krahazik comments and begins walking over to Starstrike, "Guess I have to help the Lady before she dies. By the way, who is cleaning up the corps of the beast?"
"Certainly not me...I don't like dealing with that stuff. Besides the demons body usual just disappear on its own." she says.
Mina feels someone tap on her shoulder, ''Trust Me..."
Mars looked at the beast's body. "Clean up?...Well I could just incinerate it." she says.
The body of the beast just lays there, burnt split and grotesque. Starstrik's sword sticking out from its forehead.
Krahazik knelt down next to Starstrike looking her over. "This is bad." Some of her chest wounds had reopened and bleeding freely.
"I have collected a good bit of data, I will need to file it." Mercury says.
"I'll help you with that." Jupiter says and leaves the scene with Mercury. Uranus disappeared sometime ago, along with Tuxedo Mask.
Krahazik begins chanting, "Healer of shadows I call to you."
Amy and Lita come out from behind some bushes. "Hey!" Amy rushes over to Krahazik.
"We need to get her to a hospital." Lita had followed and nods.
Mars sees Amy and Lita. "This place is not very safe, you need to hurry to a safe place."
"But she is not of this world, and I do not know if there is time?" Krahazik comments. "Knight of the Heart I summon you, open the link through shadow's path."
The girl Krahazik had seen before appeared at Starstrik's side, invisible to the scouts. She placed her hands on Starstrik's shoulders. "You're pretty.."
"And who would you be child." A young lady asked the strange girl. She was in white clerical robes carrying a long silver staff toped with a blue head topped with an eight pointed silver star with a white cross in the center as she stood next to Starstrike. She just seemed to be there all of the sudden, and yet to have always been there. There was a faint energy about her and a peaceful aura as she knelt down next to Starstrike placing her free hand upon her chest.
"Silverstar at last." Krahazik breathes a sigh of relief.
Nina came running from the shadow of a near by building with Lady Moonglow following behind at a more respectful pace.
The girl turned her head and smiled at Krahazik. "You know my name.."
"I do?" Krahazik asked.
"Oh hi there." Nina comments at seeing the girl.
Silverstar's hand begins to glow as she closes her eyes and concentrates.
Lady Moonglow surveys the area.
Karibar paced in front of his viewer. "5 shadow knights, here?" He stopped to look into his viewer. "That blasted healer. 5 of them in 1 place. I can't allow them to heal Starstrike. This could be perfect though." He placed his hand on the dome of the viewer and concentrated, "I'll take them all out in 1 blast, that thing maybe of use to me after all, even dead." He began to channel energy into the corpse of the beast.
Mina looked up at Krahazik. "Who are you talking to?"
"You don't see her?" Krahazik asks Mina.
"I do not see any one either?" Moonglow replies.
"By the powers of Spirit and the lines of life." Silverstar whispers as energy flows from her hand and into Starstrike. Her wounds begin t knit themselves together.
A faint trace of energy begins to gather at the corpse of the beast.
Amara shows up just a little east of the group in her car. "Have they resolved everything yet?" she says to herself.
"Who are all these people showing up? Luna is there anything you can tell us?" Mars asks since the scene seems to have calmed.
As Starstrik's chest wounds begin to close up a faint glow envelops her and her minor wounds and bruises disappear.
The corps of the beast takes on a faint glow which slowly begins to build in brightness. Krahazik turns his head to look at the beast his ears twitching.
Moonglow turns to look at the beast. "That is ugly, but something isn't right."
Amy and Lita took deep breathes. They looked at each other, then walked to the east of the park not knowing that Amara was there and waiting.
"What do you think about the events we have encountered Lita?" Amy asked while they walked.
"To be honest I really don't know. So much has happened. And you know, I haven't seen Rini in a long time. Do you suppose her missing has anything to do with this?" Lita says.
Amara sees Amy and Lita walking. "Hey! Einstein, Kato wanabe over here." Amara says waving at them.
Luna shook her head at Rei not having any answers for her. "Well your no help then." Rei pouts.
With a wave of her hands Moonglow vaporizes the corpse of the beast and shatters the Scrying spell on the area. Krahazik helps Silverstar carry Starstrike over to a tree with Nina following behind and they disappear into a shadow. Sirens can be herd in the distance closing in on the battle area. Moonglow vanishes with a wave of her hand.
"AAAARRR!" Karibar screams as blinding light erupts from his viewer. When he is able to see again it is dark. "Blast that infernal witch! DEMONS!"
"Yes master." The 4 demons appear in the room.
"I almost had them!" He paces back and fourth.
"Kale. Execute the plan I have assigned to you at once. We need more energy!"
"As you command master." Kale states and vanishes.
