Chapter 21: The Short Lived Victory
As the group walked into the Palace grounds, they chatted about what they were going to do. Amy and Koaru were going for a walk, Serena and Nicholas were going to have a little visit, and the others were going to just relax, except Raye, who was going to pray for the fallen Saturn warriors. However, the guards weren't on duty, so they couldn't get inside. "There should be guards, right?" Mina asked as she and Jedite held hands. Koaru nodded his head, then ran straight up the wall and jumped onto the ramparts. "Oh...shit." he said, then opened the gate. "Serena," he shouted as he leapt off of the ramparts, "hurry. Queen Serenity is in trouble!"
Inside the palace, Queen Serenity was in trouble. King Soul had hypnotized her and was going to make her marry him when he got struck from behind by a golden boomerang. "Take that, King Soul!" Sailor Moon said as she caught the boomerang, which turned out to be her tiara. "Give him a second helping, Sailor Moon." Koaru said, appearing beside her. "Good idea," she replied, holding the tiara behind her. "Take this King Soul, Moon...Tiara...Magic!" Sailor Moon yelled as she threw the tiara at King Soul. This time, however, he was ready and caught the tiara with his hand and then threw it right back at them! "Oh shit!" Koaru yelled as he and Sailor Moon were nailed by the tiara and sent across the room. "If you two are done, I have important business too attend to." King Soul said. "NOW!" King Soul heard someone behind him yell. He turned around only to get hammered by an electric dragon, a flaming bird, a beam of light, and a wall of ice!
"Nice shot, Sailor Venus." Sailor Mars said. "I'll bet that that hurt." Sailor Jupiter
added. "And now you all are going to die!" King Soul roared as he got to his feet. "I think not." Koaru said as he and Sailor Moon joined the other Scouts. "Now that you are all in one spot, I'll destroy you all in one shot!" King Soul said as he shot an array of black energy beams at the group. "Guess again, King Butt-Head!" Koaru said as the beams closed in on them, "Your own attack will now attack you, Tritus Mirror Wall!" King Soul's blast slammed into the Mirror Wall, and shattered it! "What the hell!" Koaru cried as thousands of pieces of the Mirror Wall came flying at them, cutting them and covering the floor. "Your Mirror Wall counter attack is a good one," King Soul said, "but you have never used it before now, and it was not strong enough to withstand my attack." "Really, then lets see you withstand this!" came Darien's voice from behind King Soul. He turned to see another group of warriors standing in the room. "That's it." King Soul said. "Yoma demons, attack!"
The wall behind the warriors exploded and a hundred vicious Yoma Demons entered the room. "Man," Greg said, "they let all kinds of freaks into this party."
Queen Serenity opened her eyes and saw that there was a battle in her castle. She groaned as she sat up, causing Sailor Moon to turn in her direction. "Mom!" Sailor Moon cried as she ran to the queen, who smiled at seeing her daughter. "Serena," her mother whispered, "get the Crystal." "Alright." Sailor Moon said, and ran off.
Nicholas ducked under a demon's claw and thrust his sword into it's throat. "Good
riddens to bad rubbish." he said with a grin. Suddenly the top half of a demon went zooming over his head, followed by the bottom half under his legs. He turned to see Koaru holding his twin katana, both which were covered in green demon blood. "Watch your back, Nick." he said. "Thanks, I owe you one." he replied. "A little help please!" Greg called as he tried to fight off twelve Yoma at once.
"I won't lose." King Soul thought to himself as he watched his army being slaughtered in front of him. He then looked up and saw Sailor Moon at the top of the stairs
carrying the Impearium Silver Crystal. "That's it!" King Soul shouted, raising his hand and shooting a black beam at Sailor Moon.
"Heads up!" Sailor Venus shouted as a black beam of energy came in their direction. "I got it!" Koaru called as he leapt in front of the Scouts. "Try to block this, Soul. Tritus Mirror Force!" The beam smashed into the shield with such force, that the Scouts and Koaru went flying back up the stairs, and out a window! "Oh...SHIIIIIIIIT!" they yelled as they plummeted to the ground.
"That had to hurt." Greg said, looking out the ball room window at the group lying
on the ground. "Yeh think?" Jedite said as more demons came at them.
