SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 10 out, this is Chapter 11 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 11: Cardian
Sometime later...
"Enchanted tarot cards?" Feldt blinked after Mileina gushed about the newest trend among the common people.
"I heard that they're really popular with the commoners." Mileina related. "Rumors has it that they can help you with all sorts of things. Various cards have different things written on them and apparently, just by carrying the card around, you can get your wish granted."
"And the most popular magical item store in Crystal Tokyo is the Twin Towers." Feldt looked up from her web search.
"Let's check it out during lunchtime." Mileina suggested
Later that week...
"Cards that look like Cardian cards?" Sasha echoed when Feldt told her of the enchanted tarot cards on sale in the Twin Towers.
"Like the images in the archives." Feldt nodded. "They're not all the same, but apparently, your wishes come true."
"Interesting..." Sasha mused. "Perhaps, I'll drop by on the weekends to take a look."
On Saturday that week...
"There really are many kinds." Sasha gawked at the various types of cards on display.
"What's wrong?" Feldt asked, seeing Sasha suddenly take out the Mercury supercomputer and start typing away.
"The supercomputer picked up traces of a Cardian's energy." Sasha replied. "Found it." the energy radar picked up the empty slot where the card used to be. "Miss Agace," she called out to the shop owner. "What happened to the card that was here?"
"It got sold a while ago." the half-French woman answered.
"What kind of card was it?" Sasha pressed.
"I believe it was... 'The Tower'." Miss Agace recalled.
"Do you remember who bought it?" Sasha inquired.
"I think it was one of your co-workers, Feldt." Miss Agace answered.
"Thank you." Sasha ran out with Feldt in tow.
"Everyone, we have a huge problem!" Sasha alerted the other Inner Senshi via communicator as she ran. "There apparently was a real Cardian card at the Twin Towers, but someone in the Palace bought it."
"Which Cardian was it?" Silver Sailor Venus asked.
"'The Tower'." Sasha answered.
"This is bad." Silver Sailor Mars responded. "The Tower is the representation of destruction. Hurry up and find it before it gets activated!"
"Feldt, head back to the Palace and ask around." Sasha informed the pink-haired operator.
About two hours later...
"Sasha, I've found who bought the card." Feldt alerted the water Senshi using the communication pod. "It's Fawn."
"Corner her and try to get her card away from her before she activates it by accident." Sasha instructed. "Everyone, Fawn Jameson has it." she informed the other Senshi.
"Mars and I are the closest to her." Silver Sailor Jupiter spoke. "We'll try to restrain her."
In the mess hall...
"Fawn Jameson," Silver Sailor Mars started, cutting in on the queue. "I believe you bought a card from Twin Towers recently, didn't you?"
"What of it?" Fawn retorted.
"The Senshi had ample reason to believe the card is not what it seems." Silver Sailor Jupiter cut off Fawn's escape route. "Please surrender it over."
"What if I refuse?" Fawn challenged.
"Then, we'll have no choice but to take it by force." Silver Sailor Mars answered.
"I won't!" Fawn snapped. "I'm going to use that card and give myself a fresh start!"
"Oh no!" Silver Sailor Mars gasped when the card floated out of Fawn's jacket pocket, the card started shining as it flew into the air. Clay started falling from the activated card, accumulating to form a a tower-like Cardian.
"Tawā!" the Cardian posed.
"Everyone, evacuate now!" Silver Sailor Mars ordered as Silver Sailor Jupiter readied for battle.
"Lightning Bullet!" Silver Sailor Jupiter let loose a high speed streak of lightning at their newest enemy. "It reformed?" the Thunder Senshi blinked when the Cardian reformed itself after the attack hit.
"Roaring Flame Sphere!" Silver Sailor Mars cast her fire sphere at the Cardian, only succeeding in solidifying it, but resulting in cracks appearing on the clay walls.
"Ice Shuriken!" Silver Sailor Mercury's elemental constructs bombarded the cracks, widening them. "Concentrate on the cracks on the walls!"
"Lightning Raging Dragon!" Silver Sailor Jupiter cast her lightning dragon at the cracks at the Cardian's feet, smashing it to dust.
"Light Meteor!" Silver Sailor Venus ended the fight with her volley of light punches to the Cardian's chest, rendering it into clay dust.
SailorStar9: Any OOC-ness is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just love plot bunnies sometimes? Read and review.
