SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 6 out, this is Chapter 7 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Pairings: Mainly Tieria/Sasha, Allelujah/Marie, Lockon Jr./Anew, Billy/Sumeragi, Patrick/Kati
Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.
Chapter 7: Attack
On the outskirts of Crystal Tokyo, Tieria and Sasha's impromptu date was interrupted by a red-skinned, lizard-like creature with green eyes, which was almost four meters tall.
"Skull Spell." Tieria was now decked in his Silver Millennium armor and released a skull-shaped death energy construct at the alien invader.
Dakkou, the lone invader, merely redirected the attack aside, causing it to hit a nearby street sign.
"That didn't work." Tieria frowned.
"Come." Dakkou taunted.
"Doom Bolt!" Tieria let loose an array of death energy at their opponent.
Dakkou's eyes narrowed as he let the attack hit.
The unharmed alien then swept his hand aside, sending Tieria into the air in a dark energy whirlwind. "How pathetic." Dakkou mocked, his attack ended with Tieria landing painfully on the ground. "Pitiful dunce; is this the power the highly-vaulted Planetary Knights have? If so, then taking over this city will be easy. Still alive, are you?" he snorted, seeing Tieria struggle to get back to his feet. "To be honest, I'd love to see your face tremble with terror even more." he turned when he heard the sound of a drawn weapon, Silver Sailor Mercury charging at him with her 'Ice Shard' sword. "Time for the main dish already, Sailor Mercury?" he sidestepped the blade.
"My blade flashed curved away?" Silver Sailor Mercury put some distance between herself and Dakkou. Summoning a second sword, the 'Icy Deren Blade', the ice Senshi renewed her assault on the alien. Again? She was stunned to see Dakkou was unharmed. "What?" he suddenly found herself wrapped in steel strips when Dakkou swept a hand aside.
The red-skinned alien was surprised when the Ice Senshi forcibly broke her confines.
"I see." the Peacecraft heiress realized. "So it's that type of ability."
"That's right." Dakkou grinned. "My Reflector can bend and wrap anything. It can even reflect your spells and skew light to create illusions. Did you not hear me?" he mocked, Silver Sailor Mercury charged straight at him. "Your attacks can't hit me."
"Swords of Typhon!" conjuring an array of ice swords, Silver Sailor Mercury sent her rain of sword constructs flying towards Dakkou.
"You think sheer numbers will let you hit me?" Dakkou bragged, his ability enabling him to deflect the ice swords flying towards him. A flare of his energy sent the weapons back towards their user, Silver Sailor Mercury using both her swords to deflect the redirected blades. "I told you before, I can bounce attacks back. More." his evil grin widened as he used his 'Reflector' ability to turn the Senshi's uniform into wrappings. "Give me a more painful look for me. There's nothing better than that look." he licked his lips. "Impressive." he tilted his head to dodge the sword the Senshi threw at him. "But, Spiral Pain." he trapped Silver Sailor Mercury into a more powerful tornado, the force shredding her Senshi uniform.
"That can't be..." Tieria was shocked at how easily his partner was taken out.
"Finished already?" Dakkou was not impressed. "Don't die on me yet, Sasha Peacecraft. I need you to entertain me until my mothership gets here."
"I refuse to let it happen." Sasha snarled, getting back to her feet, donning on her 'Cryomancer's Robe'.
"You can still stand?" Dakkou quirked a brow. "I see the rumors about you are true, Sasha. Destroying you will be a treat."
"I'll put an end to your outlandish aims." Sasha sword, brandishing the newly summoned 'Halberd of Wintry Winds'. "This, I swear."
"Come, Sasha." Dakkou gestured. "Show me your true strength; not that you'll actually be able to hit me, though."
"She's fast." Tieria gawked, witnessing Sasha charge towards Dakkou, slashing the alien lizard with her elemental halberd. "But..."
"It doesn't matter how nimble you are; my Reflector is unbeatable." Dakkou bragged. "See?" he stood unharmed after Sasha's two slashes, the attacks were redirected to the nearby structures. His boast was cut off when Sasha slammed an open palm on his chest, sending him across the pavement.
"Two." the intellectual Senshi held up two fingers. "There are two weaknesses to your so-called unbeatable ability. First, even if it can bend away magic and weapons, what it can't do is bend a person's body. If it could, then it'd been quicker for you to target my body rather than my Senshi uniform."
"So what?" Dakkou snorted and twisted his wrist, bending the Cryomancer's Robe around the water user's body. "Even if that's the case, I can squeeze you to death with your clothing whenever I want."
"The second weakness," Sasha was unperturbed . "Is this." a magical circle appeared above Dakkou's head and an entire array of ice swords manifested. Without a word, she sent the ice blades down towards Dakkou, forcing him to jump away. "You dodged my sword while you had my swords twisted around. Why didn't you just curve the sword's trajectory? The answer is simple: you can only bend one spot at a time; either the area around you or the area around your opponent. Therefore, while your ability is active around me, you can't deploy your Reflector around you. And what's more, this Cryomancer's Robe is weaved from cloth that can stretch and contract freely." she freed herself with a snap. "Your ability has no effect on it. This fight is over. Contact your mothership and get out of Crystal Tokyo."
"Don't underestimate me..." Dakkou growled, powering up. "I still have one last move to play! Full Power, Release!"
"What is this?" Sasha's eyes widened at the looming twisted monster Dakkou morphed into.
"Don't blame me for what happens now." the deformed Dakkou charged up an energy ball in his hands and tossed it at Sasha, who had leapt to attack the sphere. The energy wave sent the ice user flying backwards. "I'm just getting started!" he laughed. His mocking laughter was cut off when Sasha took off his head with a single slash.
Deep in space...
Upon receiving notice of the death of the lizard men's commander, the alien mothership vanished from the Solar System.
