Chapter 19: The Bigger They are, The Harder They Fall

Up at King Soul's side, Amy was very nervous. "What am I going to do?" she

thought to herself. Then she saw the Creeper. "Guys, Look out!" She screamed at

the others as the Creeper approached them from behind. "What the fuc..." Shadow Mercury started to say as the Creeper sped up and hammered into the group with amazing speed.

Compared to the Scouts and Warriors, the Creeper was huge. It stood six meters tall and weighed close to three tons. It's body was covered in metal sheets that were seven inches thick, and it had four arms and tentacle-like legs that could reach up to twenty feet away. Did I mention, it was also very fast.

"Shit," Darien thought to himself as the Creeper grabbed him with it's tentacles, "I

hate Creepers, especially if they attack me." "Anyone got an idea?" Siepher yelled as he fought to get free of the Creeper's grip. "Just one," Shadow Mercury called from the other side of the room, "keep it busy for a minute and I'll take care of it." "You got it." the others cried.

"This is terrible," Sailor Mercury thought to herself as she watched the mayhem,

unable to help, "if only I could do something..."

"Heads up!" Sailor Mars yelled as the Creeper swung one of it's arms at Shadow

Mercury.

"Its time." Shadow Mercury said to himself as the Creeper's arms came at him.

He jumped up as the clawed fist smashed the wall where he had been only moments before. He then threw a dagger of white energy at the Creeper's unprotected head, which struck and stuck on the mark. Shadow Mercury then leaped off the wall and cried "Tritus Drac Slayer!", slamming the dagger with his heel and forcing it through the Creeper's brain. The Creeper swayed, roared, then exploded in a shower of debris.

"Clean-up on aisle twelve." Greg joked as the pieces of the creature showered to the ground. King Soul simply smiled, "You won that round, but at what price?" The group fell silent. "What are you talking about?" Sailor Moon asked. "Since you killed my Creeper, its only fair that you lose a friend." he said, raising his sword back to Amy's throat. "Don't even think about it, you bastard!" Shadow Mercury yelled at King Soul, drawing his giant sword and starting to run at him. "Just try to stop me, boy." he replied and sent an energy ball at Shadow Mercury that hit its mark and sent him across the room and into the wall again. The two Saturn mercenaries, both who wielded giant swords like Shadow Mercury's, charged King Soul. "Oh, please." he said, sounding bored, and he threw a black sphere at the two, and they both exploded into a shower of blood and guts. "Oh...Jesus..." Sailor Jupiter whispered as she watched.

"No!" Amy cried as Shadow Mercury crashed into the wall and the two mercenaries died in the blink of an eye. She then looked back at the masked fighter, and saw that the head wrap had come apart from the blast. The fighter now stood up, glaring at Soul, and they saw his face. "No...way..." Greg said as he looked at the face of Prince Tritus.
