The Last Sailor Warrior
The Dark Kingdom Everyone was watching a past battle where Tuxedo mask and Sonic interfered in her crystal ball.
"Grrrr!" Beryl growled clenching her fist. "Enough!" The image stopped. Zoisite watched and cowered in fear. "Zoisite what is the meaning of this? I do not wish to see such scenes again!"
"Queen Beryl, these are actually all scenes showing Sailor Moon." Zoisite explained. "When she was rescued at the last minute."
"Not always." Beryl said. "Sometimes the hedgehog has proven to be more of an annoyance than Sailor Moon. But are you talking about Tuxedo Mask? Just who is he?"
"Unfortunately we do not know." Zoisite sighed. "However, he has appeared virtually every time Sailor Moon has been in danger. If we make use of this, we should be able to lure Tuxedo Mask out into the open."
"So, you are saying that you will take back the two Rainbow Crystals he stole?" Beryl asked. "I hope you know this is your final chance. What about Sonic?"
"Yes, my lady. I am very aware of it." Zoisite explained. "I have a special plan for him. I will use a similar plan on Eggman to get his crystal and from Knuckles."
"Wait Zoisite!" Called the voice of Malachite, he approached and bowed to Beryl. "If you want to Lure Tuxedo mask out, you need a plan to get him away from the Sailor Warriors. Queen Beryl, I would like to have the honor of accomplishing that, I would like to join Zoisite on his assignments."
"Very well." Beryl said. "Bring all seven Rainbow Crystals to me!"
"Malachite." Zoisite thought. "I will do this for you and not anyone else. I will even die for you."
Later at the Bank there was a loud explosion.
"Hands in the air!" Shouted a bank robber pointing a shotgun, "And hand over the money!" He threw a bag at the tellers. "Hurry Up!" A boomerang flew and knocked the shot gun out of the robber's arms. It flew back to Sailor Moon, but something was strange about her. Her eyes were brown and more slanted, and all the red on her uniform was now blue.
"Who the hell are you?" Shouted the robber with fear. Sailor Moon laughed devilishly and jumped and kicked him in the face.
At Serena's house the news flashed on.
"The heroine Sailor Moon, whose actions have been the talk of the town lately." The anchor reported. "She helped in the arrest of a bank robber, today around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he demanded money from the female tellers while firing his weapon."
"Serena!" Luna gasped. "No Way!"
Serena was out walking with Lita with ice cream in their hands.
"This is the right way for a middle school girl to spend her holiday!" Serena said happily biting off the top.
"Serena if you eat too much you'll gain weight!" Lita warned.
"I just can't stop!" Serena laughed. At that time they were walking by a huge library building and two guys were washing windows on a hanging platform. Darien was reading books inside the building.
Three crystal shards flew and cut three of the ropes and the platform was dangling by one rope and the men were hanging on for their lives and people all gathered to see this scary sight.
Darien looked outside the window and saw that a crystal shard was embedded inside the last rope and it vanished and the rope weakened and broke, the men began to fall and Sailor Moon jumped from the roof and swung on a rope and caught the first man while the second man caught the other.
Sailor Moon swung herself to safety on top of a store awning.
"Sailor Moon!" The crowd cheered. Sailor Moon leaped up to the roof and leaped away.
Serena and Lita were incredibly confused.
Darien ran outside and looked up. "She didn't cut the rope on purpose, did she?" He pondered. Serena and Lita paused as they watched the whole thing.
"Why?" Serena cried. "Why was Sailor Moon there? What about me?"
"Calm Down!" Lita pleaded, but Serena continued to cry. "Anyway, let's contact Luna and everyone else and follow her. Strange enough a blonde girl with a white cat next her was eavesdropping."
That evening the same Sailor Moon from before was leaping across the buildings to Malachite who was standing on a building at the pier.
"Only the Sailor Warriors and Tuxedo Mask will be able to follow her." Malachite laughed. "Hurry up and come. I am waiting for you, Tuxedo Mask! Now is the time to lure the hedgehog here as well!"
Then Sailor Moon raised her arms in the air and created a wind.
"With this wind my cries will echo and Sonic will come running!" Sailor Moon laughed. She mustered up the strength in her voice and cried. "Sonic! Tails! Help Me! I'm trapped at the Pier by the Dark Kingdom! They will exchange my safety for the Rainbow Crystal!"
"Well Done!" Malachite laughed.
Back at the forest the message was carried across the wind Sonic and Tails were just finishing eating dinner when they both heard the message.
"Sailor Moon's in trouble!" Tails shouted. "We have to help her!" Sonic had a stern look on his face.
"Something's not right." Sonic said.
"What?" Tails asked.
"Since when does Sailor Moon communicate with the wind?" Said Sonic "and this whole ransom situation just stinks of a set up!"
"By Sailor Moon?" Tails asked, scratching his head.
"No, by the Dark Kingdom." Sonic explained. "But I guess the only way to know for sure is to go to the pier and see for ourselves! Come on!" They both left and headed to the pier.
Back at the Pier, Tuxedo Mask was roaming the pier.
"She should be somewhere in this direction." Thought Tuxedo Mask "I've lost sight of her."
At the same time the girls with their feline guardian showed up.
"You saw her run in this direction?" Luna asked.
"Yes." Lita nodded.
"Who would have expected that a fake Sailor Moon would show up?" Rei wondered.
"I know!" Ami sighed. "I saw the news about that bank robbery to!"
"Of course." Rei laughed. "I didn't think that was Serena."
"We would have nothing to complain about if the real Sailor Moon was as hard working as her." Lita laughed.
"You're so mean!" Serena grumbled.
"The question is, what is the fake Sailor Moon's goal?" Ami asked. "Is she our ally or enemy?"
"An ally?" Rei shrugged and she turned to Luna. "Could she possibly be the fifth Sailor Warrior?"
"What?" Luna stammered. "No, uh…"
"There's just something fishy about this." Serena pondered. "Besides, how dare she use the name Sailor Moon without my permission? I gotta catch her, and make her pay license fees!" Everyone almost fell over at that statement.
"That is not the problem here!" Lita shouted, they heard a scream to the west and they ran in that direction.
Sonic and Tails had arrived and they were already in their standoff against Malachite as they saw the fake Sailor Moon being held up by a cable by her arms and she couldn't move.
"Good, Hedgehog!" Malachite laughed. "Now hand me the Rainbow crystal and I will spare Sailor Moon!"
Sonic examined her closely and he charged at Sailor Moon with a spin dash. Malachite grew nervous and he shot an energy ball at Sonic and deflected him away.
"What are you doing!" Malachite shouted. "Attacking Sailor Moon?"
"Do you think I'm that blind?" Sonic scoffed. "That's obviously an imposter!"
Malachite and the fake Sailor Moon both gasped.
"How did you know?" Malachite asked.
"First of all you got the outfit all wrong!" Sonic laughed. "Basically that was the dead give away! Second of all if she was the real Sailor Moon, why did you stop me? I could have killed her!"
"How low could you guys get?" Tails scoffed.
"That guy is one of the Dark Kingdom's…" Ami shouted the girls were watching from behind the corner of a crate. Serena saw the fake Sailor Moon.
"Oh no!" She cried. "We need to save her!" She began to move but Lita stopped her.
"Wait!" She shouted.
"This could be a trap." Luna said.
"Look who's involved!" Ami said. They looked and saw Sonic and Tails in the standoff.
"Even if it is a trap." Serena cried. "I just can't watch Sailor Moon being treated like that!" Everybody nodded then Serena agreed it was time to transform.
"Moon Prism Power Make Up!"
"Mercury Power Make Up!"
"Mars Power Make Up!"
"Jupiter Power Make Up!"
"Look hedgehog!" Malachite said he pointed to the city and they saw the lights. "What annoying and wasteful lights. Only true beauty is in Darkness. The darkening of the Dark Kingdom will shade the entire world. I cannot wait to see it!"
"Not if I can help it!" Sonic said, taking a fighter stance.
"Not so fast!" Shouted the voice of Sailor Moon. Then she appeared from behind the crate. "You have a terrible taste, tying up a girl and hanging her! I am the Sailor Warrior for love and Justice, Sailor Moon!"
"Likewise, Sailor Mercury!"
"Likewise, Sailor Mars!"
"And I'm Sailor Jupiter!" And they all posed.
"In the name of the moon I will severely punish you!"
"Now I guess here's more evidence that that is not the real Sailor Moon." Sonic laughed.
"So here you are!" Malachite laughed. "I am Malachite, one of the great four generals of the Dark Kingdom! Sailor Moon and Sailor Warriors prepare yourselves!" He reached out his arms and threw black magical waves around the surrounding area. Once it finished they were all inside a black sphere.
"How do you like this beautiful Darkness?" Malachite laughed.
"Sadly for you I'm not afraid of the Dark!" Sonic said defiantly.
"I am a little!" Tails whimpered holding on to Sonic's arm shaking.
"It is quite impressive!" Sailor Mars said, she tried her fire.
"Fire Soul!"
The fireball was just absorbed by the dark.
"Sailor Mars! You good for nothing!" Sailor Moon cried. Malachite's image, in just white lines appeared in the black and he began to throw bombs at them, while they did dodge them all they left a fiery blaze wherever they hit.
"He's tough!" Sailor Jupiter grunted.
"Hahah what's wrong!?" Malachite's image laughed.
"Sonic Tails!" Sailor Jupiter called and they both appeared in front of Sailor Jupiter. Sonic and Tails joined hands and began to spin.
"Supreme Thunder!"
Sonic and Tails became whirling balls of lightning, they charged at Malachite's image, the lightning was absorbed by the black and Sonic and Tails ripped through the black and disappeared.
"Our attacks are useless!" Sailor Mercury cried. "The power is being sucked into the darkness!"
"Sonic! Tails! Where are you!" Sailor Moon cried.
"Outside the Dark Sphere!" Sonic called.
"The fact that we attacked physically with much force allowed us to rip through the black!" Tails explained.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Malachite laughed leaping down from the building. "Is this the greatest extent of the Sailor Warriors power?"
He began to use his power on the sphere and it began to close in around them lighting was running all throughout the sphere.
"We have to free them!" Sonic shouted. He and Tails charged at the sphere and in an attempt to break it but their attempts were futile as they were just shocked and deflected off the sphere.
"Oh!" Sonic and Tails groaned in pain. The electricity stunned them and they were on their knees struggling to get up. As lightning surged around their bodies.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Malachite laughed. "Nice try Sonic! But now all you can do is watch as I crush them once and for all!"
"No!" Tails yelled.
The fake Sailor Moon was still hanging on the cable Tuxedo Mask was running by and saw her.
"Sailor Moon!" Tuxedo Mask cried. "He stopped to stare at the situation. Is this a trap?" He ran up to her and leaped at the cable holding her. He swung his cane and ripped it. Lightning struck the ground where he landed and he escaped as he carried the fake Sailor Moon.
The Fake Sailor Moon smirked evilly and created a crystal shard in her hands. She stabbed Tuxedo Mask in the back of his right shoulder.
Tuxedo Mask winced in pain and clutched his shoulder and the shard vanished. The Fake Sailor Moon leaped out of his arms and stood a few inches away from him in a standoff.
"What are you doing Sailor Moon!?" Tuxedo Mask screamed, she just laughed at him, and threw off the clothes and it was really Zoisite in disguise. "Zoisite!"
"You poor thing!" Zoisite scoffed. "I will soon put you out of your misery Tuxedo Mask. Zoi!" He threw rose petals at him but he ran towards the crates and hid. "HAHAHAHA! Running will do you no good! I will take the Rainbow Crystals this time for certain, I can at least take your crystals since we couldn't get Sonic's!" He created another crystal shard only this one is as big as a sword.
Malachite almost has the sphere completely closed in on them and Sonic and Tails were still stunned by the lightning.
"Oh, no! We're trapped!" Sailor Moon panicked.
"Let me try something!" Sailor Jupiter shouted.
"Supreme Thunder!"
But like before the thunder was absorbed by the black.
"If…only…I could… Move!" Sonic struggled to say.
"It's no use! The power is being sucked away by the barrier! Lita cried." The night was starting to end and the sun began to rise.
"Give it up!" Malachite laughed, as the Barrier began to close in closer. "You will never break this barrier! As long as I harness my power into it, your animal friends can't help you."
Back with Tuxedo Mask Zoisite chased after him through tunnels of crates and sandbags and he moved swinging his shard like a mad man but his crazy slashing caused the crates and sandbags to collapse and Tuxedo Mask had no choice but to run out into the open.
"Found you!" Zoisite mocked running up to him. "Die!" And he slashed at him with his shard, but Tuxedo Mask blocked it with his cane. They were now locked. "Zoi!" Zoisite threw petals at Tuxedo Mask and it threw his mask off and his face was revealed.
The Dark Kingdom Beryl was watching the whole thing with her crystal ball.
"Oh!" She gasped. "This man is!"
Back at the fight.
"My, you look handsome unmasked." Zoisite laughed. "I won't let you get away. Prepare to die!"
"Crescent Beam!"
And a beam shot out like a laser as shattered Zoisite's Shard.
"OUCH!" He winced, grabbing his hand. He looked up in the open window of a nearby compartment. There was a shadowy figure. "Who are you?" He looked and saw that Tuxedo Mask had escaped. "Damn it!" He looked back at the figure and it was gone. "HOW DARE YOU MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME! I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE! I'LL TEAR YOU TO SHREDS! THIS ISN'T FAIR!"
With Malachite he continued to torture the Sailors and Sonic and Tails. Inside the sphere, the air was getting thin, soon the Sailors would suffocate.
"The air." Sailor Mercury panted. "I… Can't….Breath."
"How do you like the taste of my darkness?" Malachite laughed. "My lightning has a good conductor doesn't it?"
"Malachite please be careful." Zoisite warned approaching from behind. "In addition to Tuxedo Mask, there is another enemy nearby."
"Zoisite." Malachite sighed. "Did you fail to capture Tuxedo Mask?"
"Such cold words!" Zoisite whimpered, biting his finger. "I was just about to take care of that. He shouted into the air hoping to get Tuxedo Mask's attention. "Tuxedo Mask this is the end of Sailor Moon and her friends as well as Sonic The Hedgehog!"
"What Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Moon cried. He was just waiting around a corner clutching his wound where Zoisite stabbed him, he put his mask back on.
"If you want to save them, come out with the Rainbow Crystals!" Zoisite ordered.
"Tuxedo Mask, don't come out!" Sailor Moon pleaded.
"I… must….. Break….. free!" Sonic struggled to say.
"Sailor Moon!" Luna cried.
"Wait!" Tuxedo Mask called, he came out of hiding.
"No!" Tails cried.
"That's right!" Zoisite laughed. "In the end, there is no way for you to win!"
"Struggling only makes it worse!" Malachite said to his victims. "It's important to know when to give up."
"No it's not!" Shouted a new female voice. "No matter how hard it is, you must never give up!" Zoisite and Malachite looked around to see who was speaking to them.
"It's that same voice again!" Zoisite grumbled.
"Oh!" Luna cheered. "That voice is!" Everyone looked on top of a nearby shed and saw another Sailor Warrior, she had long blonde hair and her suit was orange, as well as the gem on her tiara. She has a Sailor V mask on.
"Who are you!?" Shouted Malachite, The Sailor Leaped down into plain sight and did a pose.
"Sailor Warrior!" She Shouted. "Sailor Venus!" She took off her mask and revealed her blue eyes, "If you pardon me, I have arrived!" And used her attack. A crescent appeared in the air; the crescent also had another one attached to the other side. She raised her finger, her right pointer finger in the air and the crescents were absorbed into her finger, she pointed her finger at the enemy.
Crescent Beam!
The Crescents shot out from her finger like a laser and cut along the back of Malachite's hands.
"Malachite!" Cried Zoisite. The barrier shattered and the Sailors were freed and Malachite's hold on Sonic and Tails was broken.
"FREED!" Cheered Sonic.
The Sailors approached Sailor Venus.
"You're Sailor V, aren't you?" Sailor Moon asked.
Luna was sitting inside a huge stack of PVC pipes and on the top stood a white cat that looked very similar to Luna even had a crescent on its head.
"She is the warrior of justice, Sailor V!" The cat said with a deep voice indicating that it was a male cat. "Her true Identity is Sailor Warrior Sailor Venus! The cat leaped down next to Luna. Luna, long time no see!"
"Artemis!" Luna cheered, apparently this is the cat's name.
"Damn it!" Zoisite panicked spreading his arms out to protect Malachite. "Malachite, please run! I will take care of them!"
"You really think you can beat all seven of us?" Sonic laughed.
"Wait you two!" Shouted the voice of Queen Beryl in their minds.
"My lady!" Malachite said and they both looked up, and her image appeared in the stars.
"That is enough!" She ordered. "The situation has changed! Come back now!"
"Why?" Zoisite asked.
"Quiet!" Beryl snapped. "I am telling you to pull out!"
"We have no choice." Malachite sighed.
"But Malachite!" Zoisite sighed.
"We have no choice." Malachite said defeated. "Sailor Warriors! Hedgehog, we shall finish this battle another time!" With that being said they both vanished.
"Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Moon called looking for him but found nothing. "He's gone."
"Anyway." Sailor Jupiter laughed. "looks like we're safe now." Now it was time for our heroes to greet their new ally.
"Now." Artemis said with glee. "We have five warriors and two cats. Everyone is together now."
"Sailor Venus." Sailor Jupiter sighed.
"Oh!" Sailor Moon said, hit with an insight. "By any chance, are you the princess from the moon?"
"No I'm not." Sailor Venus laughed. "Like you, I'm another warrior, here to protect the princess."
"Nice to meet you Sailor Venus!" Sonic said, approaching with Tails. "I'm…."
"You're Sonic and you're Tails!" Sailor Venus finished for him. "Nice to meet you two, I'm happy to join you guys in the fight against Dr. Eggman and help the poor naïve creature Knuckles and save the floating Island's Master Emerald by collecting the seven Chaos Emeralds."
Sonic and Tails just had their mouths hanging open.
"I guess we don't have to tell her everything after all!" Tails shrugged.
"But, how?" Sonic stuttered scratching his head. "Oh Well."
"It's true!" Sailor Venus laughed staring at Tails. "You're so cuddly! But I know better!" Tails just took a sigh of relief.
"I can't believe it!" Sailor Moon cooed with glistening eyes. "My idol Sailor V, is standing right in front of me!"
"Nice to meet everyone!" Sailor Venus said. She held out her hand and the other Sailors along with Sonic and Tails took in respect.
"By the way." Artemis said. 'I'm sorry to interrupt when we've all finally come together, but we're currently investigating a certain area. Let's get together tomorrow in the morning at the Hikawa Shrine, and I'll tell you the details then."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Luna said.
"Well everyone." Sailor Venus said. "See you later!" She leaped across the buildings and left with Artemis with her.
"She's rather impatient, isn't she?" Sailor Mars said.
"How does she already know about everything?" Sonic pondered. "It still baffles me!"
"But she's so cool!" Sailor Moon sighed with still glistening eyes.
