There Were Five
The Dark Kingdom
Malachite and Zoisite have arrived.
"Queen Beryl." Malachite bowed. "Why have you ordered us to pull back? We were so close to taking the Rainbow Crystals!"
"It was our great ruler's order!" Beryl said proudly.
"Our ruler?" Malachite asked confused.
"Our great ruler told me not to kill Tuxedo Mask!" Beryl explained. "Instead, she demanded that he be brought here alive."
"What do you mean by that!?" Zoisite snapped.
"Silence!" Beryl snapped back. "Orders need not be explained!"
"Understood." Malachite said.
"So now you want Tuxedo Mask huh?" Said a voice, and Eggman and his badnicks came out of the darkness.
"What are you doing here!" Beryl shouted. "I haven't called you!"
"You and I have business to discuss." Eggman said in a serious tone. "You have my Chaos Emerald and I have the Rainbow Crystal."
"Finders keepers Egghead!" Zoisite mocked.
"Well the same goes for us to!" Grounder scoffed.
"Yeah no Rainbow Crystal means no Silver Crystal Aha hahaaaaa!" Scratch squawked.
"Enough!" Beryl shouted. "I have something that should interest the both of us!" She moved her hands around her crystal ball.
An image appeared up above the ball much like how Zoisite found the Rainbow Crystals. And an image of a dark blue gem being picked out of rubble and rocks by a miner.
"THAT'S IT!" Eggman shouted. "The next Chaos Emerald!"
"It appears that the last emerald has been discovered!" Malachite said.
"We'll go after it!" Zoisite cheered.
"No you won't!" Grounder shouted. "That emerald is ours!"
"Quit the sniveling!" Beryl demanded. "Why don't you both go after it!"
"How do you expect us to do that my lady?" Malachite bowed.
"Eggman do you have any new creations?" Beryl asked.
"I have one." Eggman said, he snapped his fingers and a Robot Scorpion crawled out of the darkness behind him. It was steel grey with glowing red eyes. It was also as big as the main building at the Hikawa shrine which is no bigger than an ordinary house.
"This is the Egg Scorpion!" Grounder presented.
"I was going to use it to attack the Sailors." Eggman said. "My sources tell me that another one has been found."
"This is a way for you two to work together in this." Beryl said "Zoisite! Use the Black Crystal! Turn the robot into a monster."
"A monster robot?" Grounder asked in disbelief. "That sounds a little crazy."
"Can it be done?" Malachite asked. "After all robot's are not living creatures."
"We shall see." Beryl said. "Zoisite uses the crystal now!"
Zoisite threw the black crystal and it began to work its magic on the Egg Scorpion. It's metal body became scales but it's tail was still metal and it's steel gray body still has its color while some of its scales had a small tint of green it's red eyes began to glow brighter, and half of its legs became real scorpion legs and the right claw became real to. It roared like a live creature and its size doubled to be as wide as a lake and as tall as a skyscraper.
"Woah!" Eggman said gawking at its new powerful creature.
"Wow!" Scratch squawked.
"ME NEXT ME NEXT ME NEXT!" Scratch and Grounder cheered rushing to Zoisite.
"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" Eggman shouted and that halted his minions. "Ok if we are to work together on this, then let us be off!" Eggman turned around and walked away and soon his badnicks turned to follow him.
"You two!" Zoisite called.
"Yes?" They both said walking back.
"I feel we got off on the wrong foot." Zoisite said. "Now I will give you your emerald"! He took out the emerald while Beryl and Malachite smirked.
"Wow!" Scratch said and he took out the Rainbow crystal and he rushed to Zoisite and traded the gems. Without Eggman's knowledge.
"Thanks, that was very nice of you!" Grounder said and they ran off to Eggman.
"What a couple of dolts!" Malachite laughed.
"You've done well." Beryl laughed.
"Thank you my queen." Zoisite bowed. He and Malachite left the dark kingdom to go emerald hunting.
The day after they met Sailor Venus.
The four Sailors arrived at the Hikawa Shrine and Sonic and Tails were there to. Within a few moments so did the new girl and her cat.
"So you're Mina Aino." Ami said.
"Yes." She said. "I am Sailor Venus."
"We are investigating the seven Chaos Emeralds." Artemis announced.
"That's right!" Rei said. "Hey Tails! How is the emerald score?"
"Well." Tails said, counting with his fingers. "We have two, Eggman has one, Beryl has one, Tuxedo Mask has one, and Knuckles has one."
"That makes six!" Lita said.
"That means only one left!" Sonic added.
"Which is why we called you here!" Artemis said. Mina took out a newspaper and she gave it to Sonic.
Sonic read it aloud.
"Two days ago in the caves of Akaishi the mining teams have discovered a dark blue gem, some have believed it to be similar to the light blue one discovered by the jewelry store. Geologists are now studying this gem at the local museum."
"Looks like we have to go and take the Emerald." Tails said.
"Are you sure?" Serena asked. "Because, breaking into the museum and stealing artifacts is illegal!"
"I don't think we have to!" Rei said and she heard loud screaming and crashings of cars and buildings. Soon everyone else heard the same sounds as well.
"I guess that's our calling card." Sonic said, the Girls all took time to transform.
"Moon Prism Power Make Up!"
"Mercury Power Make Up!"
"Mars Power Make Up!"
"Jupiter Power Make Up!"
"Venus Power Make Up!"
Sonic rushed off leaving everyone behind.
"Is that a common thing for him to do?" Sailor Venus asked.
"You have no idea." Tails laughed.
The Egg Scorpion moved through the city and towards the museum and the military moved in with tanks and heavy artillery to stop it. Blasting the thing with missiles but they had no effect. The Scorpion just knocked them away with its claws and they blew up in buildings or the roads.
"Hahahaha!" Eggman laughed hovering right next to it in his Egomatic. "Keep going! Get to the museum this instant!"
"Ah! There it is!" Zoisite cheered, he and Malachite were walking on what's left of the buildings on the other side of it as the Scorpion swung its huge tail and destroyed a Helicopter. "Only a Block away!"
"Now my servant!" Malachite said. "Tear open the roof of the museum!" The tail began to charge energy and it fired a laser on the roof and it completely vaporized the top exposing a team of five geologists.
"Hello my fellow scientist!" Eggman said as he moved in and hovered above and the two generals jumped on the edge of the building and stared down the research team.
"OK PEOPLE MUSEUMS CLOSED GET OUT NOW!" Scratch screamed as he and Grounder moved into the Museum with their ray guns handy and telling everyone to get out. They forced the people out and moved their way into the labs and blocked off the teams only ways out.
"We have come to obtain the gem that you have been researching! Hand it over this instant!" Eggman ordered.
"One geologist reluctantly took the chaos emerald and held it out to him."
"You made the right choice!" Zoisite laughed. Eggman took out his reach claw and grabbed the emerald with it. A blue streak smashed the claw and the emerald fell to the ground.
"Grr!" Zoisite growled.
"Right on time!" Eggman scowled.
"Of course I'm on time!" Sonic said stopping in front of the research team. "I'm Sonic!"
"He's not alone!" Called the voice of Sailor Moon. The four other Sailors along with Tails arrived. The emerald doesn't belong to you! It needs to go to us! For I am Sailor Moon!"
"Along with Sailor Mercury!"
"Sailor Mars!"
"Sailor Jupiter!"
"And finally Sailor Venus!" They All posed "In the name of the moon! We shall punish you!"
"Ah, here are the cheerleaders!" Grounder said.
"Cheerleaders!?" Sailor Jupiter screamed with rage.
"So this is Dr. Eggman?" Sailor Venus said.
"You must be the new Sailor!" Eggman grinned eyeing the new Sailor. "So sorry all that beauty will be gone once you join the Eggman Empire!"
"There's no way you're turning me into a robot!" Sailor Venus said defiantly.
"We shall see about that!" Malachite said. "Egg Scorpion! Destroy everything! Destroy our oppressors and bring us that Chaos Emerald!"
The scorpion attacked the Sailors with its claws and they managed to dodge the attack.
Tails attempted to attack him with a spin dash, but the scorpion whacked Tails to the away with its claw he slammed into the walls of a building.
"OUCH THAT HURT!" He cried.
"I have the feeling we're in major trouble!" Panicked Sailor Moon.
"You have no Idea what you're up against!" Eggman laughed. "Make Them Bleed!"
The Scorpion began charging its laser at its tail, Sailor Jupiter used her lighting.
"Supreme Thunder!"
The lightning struck the Scorpion and all the electricity ran up to the energy being stored at the tail but it just hastened the charging process.
"It didn't short out!" Sailor Jupiter panicked. "it absorbed my attack!"
"That's right!" Zoisite laughed.
Mercury used her visor and scanned the scorpion. She gasped at what she saw.
"What is it?" Sailor Mars asked.
"This is some form of a Monster Machine Hybrid!" She gasped and everyone was stunned at that statement.
"Yeah now we really have combined our powers!" Zoisite laughed. "I just simply changed one of Eggman's Robots into a monster."
"In that case let me handle this!" Sailor Moon said and she took out the Crescent Moon Wand.
"Moon Healing Escalation!"
The magic was trying to work on the scorpion but it had no effect.
"What!" Panicked Sailor Moon "What's going on?"
"It's half a robot!" Luna said as she and Artemis were sitting at the street corner an okay distance away from the fight. "Robot's are not real living things so you can't change it back to a plain robot. But the real main reason is because it actually wants to be a monster!
"HAHAHAHA Watch his power!" Malachite laughed as the Scorpion fired the laser at a convoy of tanks and SWAT cars just up the road heading their way.
BOOM! Everyone was speechless at its full potential at the fiery remains of all the cars.
"Still nothing I can't handle!" Sonic said, he leaped in and charged at the abdomen but the Scorpion swung its tail and swatted Sonic and he slammed down into the road.
"SONIC!" The Sailors screamed.
"Take the emerald!" Zoisite said. The scorpion grabbed the chaos emerald off the ground and began to glow.
"Yes!" Eggman said. "This power will make you grovel at my feet!"
"Looks like we win!" Scratch squawked. "AHA, AHAAAAA!"
"Yeah you're a genius Doctor!" Grounder laughed.
"Sailor Mars take out the chaos emerald!" Sailor Moon said. "She took it out and all the Sailors touched it and they gained its power."
"Now it's our turn!" Sailor Mars said.
"Moon Tiara Action!"
"Fire Soul!"
"Bubble Spray!"
The tiara flew but it just bounced off it like a fly bumping into a person. The scorpion turned towards the Sailors and began charging the laser.
"Let me!" Sailor Venus said.
"Crescent Beam!"
The Scorpion Used its shiny metal tail and reflected the beam right back at the sailors.
"GAAA!" They screamed as they turned to run from it and when it hit the ground the sailors were thrown to the ground.
"Watch out!" Sailor Jupiter screamed and the laser was fired from the tail, and the sailors didn't get away in time for the laser to blast the ground and launch them all in the air and land on the sidewalk hard, they were now all down, all they could do was clutch the places where it hurts and cover their heads as rubble fell over their heads.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Malachite laughed. "It's over for you!"
"No!" Sailor Mercury winced in pain.
"Get that sailor brat!" Eggman ordered. The scorpion shot out its claw and grabbed Sailor Mercury.
"AHHHHH!" She screamed as the claw began to squeeze her body. "HELP ME!"
"Hey Eggman!" Sonic called getting out of the road he was now bruised and he had one eye closed. "You think you're so tough?"
"You are in no big place to talk Hedgehog!" Eggman said. "I will now take what is mine!"
"This will make up for many of our own defeats by you!" Scratch laughed.
"Your meddling will end today!" Zoisite snapped.
"It's not over yet!" Sonic said he walked over and pulled Tails out of the building. He wasn't in more bad shape, than Sonic he could still use both his eyes and he was also bruised.
Sonic and Tails Joined hands and they charged at the claw with a double spin dash. They hit the claw and while it didn't destroy the claw it did make the scorpion to release Sailor Mercury. That attack just made him feel as much pain as a bee sting.
Sonic picked up Sailor Mercury and rushed her to the other Sailors.
"Oh thank you so much Sonic!" Sailor Mercury said hugging him, she would have hugged Tails but she respects him enough to not put him through what she did before.
"Tails stay here and protect the Sailors I'll go and finish this up this is my fight!" Sonic said getting ready.
"Sonic No!" Sailor Mars said, grabbing his arm. "If you fight that thing again you just get thrown around until you die!"
"Trust me! I will win!" Sonic said with great confidence and he walked off to fight the scorpion.
"He sure is tough!" Sailor Venus said.
"It's as if nothing can stop him." Sailor Jupiter said.
"It's like he has his own world." Sailor Mars said.
"It must be good to be like him." Sailor Mercury said.
"That's why I look up to him." Tails said.
"I'm glad he's our ally." Artemis said.
"He coming here really is a blessing to us!" Luna smiled.
"I would love to know just what goes on in, His World!" Sailor Moon said.
"Hey Eggman! And Dark Kingdom Commanders!" Sonic said. "I will challenge your monster, and I will win."
(Background Music Begins, Song, His World. Crush 40 version or Zebrahead version, you decide!)
"So you think!" Zoisite said.
"I accept your foolish challenge Sonic!" Malachite laughed.
"Get him!" Eggman ordered. The Scorpion swung its claws at Sonic and jumped up and attempted to charge at his head but the scorpion swung its tail in an attempt to swat Sonic away. But Sonic moved up and ran on the tail he attempted to cut through the tail once he got to the top but it wasn't enough he just lightly scratched it.
The Scorpion then began to swing its tail heavily like a wild horse and Sonic tried to hang on but he was flung off and he flew towards Scratch and Grounder.
"RUN!" They both screamed but they were too slow to break Sonic's fall. "OUCH!" The hostage research team was now free and they made their escape.
"Thanks dumbots!" Sonic said, patting Scratch's head.
"Give it up Hedgehog!" Malachite laughed. "This creature has the energies of the Dark Kingdom within itself! It's also being powered by the chaos emerald! You cannot beat it!"
"We'll leave if you surrender your Rainbow Crystal!" Zoisite said.
"It's not over yet!" Sonic scoffed. "So don't prep your victory speeches yet! Sonic took out his chaos emerald and absorbed its power."
Sonic Charged at the Scorpion again and this time the scorpion tried to fire the laser at him but Sonic was fast enough to smash into the tip of the tail and disable it.
"No!" Eggman shouted.
"Don't worry." Malachite said. "His armor is still too strong to penetrate." He was right because as Sonic tried to attack the head but the scorpion began to block him with his claw and he was still able to successfully deflect Sonic away.
"He needs more power!" Sailor Mars said luckily she knew what she had to do. "Sonic! Catch!" She threw him the chaos emerald, he caught it and absorbed more power.
"Thanks Sailor Mars!" Sonic said, he spun around the scorpion and he tried to stab Sonic with its tail but it got embedded into the sidewalk. Sonic took this opportunity while it was struggling to get free to run in and strike the scorpion in between the eyes. It roared loudly as Sonic dashed at the tail, he managed to cut it off right at the back of the body, it roared even louder as the tail gave a loud whirring noise and blew up.
"Grr!" Zoisite growled. "We're beginning to lose!"
"Not yet!" Malachite said. "the Egg Scorpion still has the chaos emerald!"
Sonic Dashed at the eyes again to finish it off but the scorpion put up both its claws as a form of a shield and stopped Sonic's attack and he after about a minute of them being locked at each other the scorpion threw Sonic away, he managed to leave about a medium size dent in the right claw.
"No!" Sailor Moon screamed. "It's still too strong!"
"There has to be a way to stop it!" Sailor Mars said. "Just because it's a monster robot doesn't mean it has no weakness!"
"I don't know what to do!" Tails said. "If only it was a pure robot, or pure monster!"
Mercury continued to scan it more with her visor.
"The mixture of magic and machinery is distorting the scan. I can't find any weaknesses." She panicked.
"I don't just want to keep cheering and nothing more!" Sailor Jupiter scowled.
"It may be all we can do!" Sailor Venus said.
"SONIC!" Sailor Moon cheered. "WE'RE WITH YOU WE CAN HELP YOU IN SPIRIT EVEN IF WE CAN REALLY BE THERE WITH YOU! YOU CAN DO THIS!"
But the strangest thing began to occur, the transformation sticks began to glow along with Sailor Moon's brooch, the sticks rose out from the pockets from the sailors.
"What's going on here?"Sailor Mars said covering her eyes as the glow became even brighter.
"This cannot be!" Zoisite panicked.
"Oh how I long to make that power my own!" Eggman said in a hungry tone.
"What could possibly be happening!" Luna said.
"Beats me!" Artemis said.
The sticks shot out a white light that all collected on Sonic's body and now he was glowing a huge white aura.
"Somehow the power in our transformation sticks have all lent their power to Sonic!" Sailor Mercury explained.
"Not a moment too soon!" Sonic said flexing his arms. "I feel really powerful now!" He rose up as if he could fly and he charged at the scorpion like a missile and ripped right through it. The scorpion emitted electricity and exploded.
"This cannot be!" Malachite screamed.
"He's too strong!" Zoisite gasped.
"Don't get too excited!" Eggman said. "This isn't over! Scratch Grounder! Withdraw!"
"Yes sir!" Scratch said as he and Grounder finish putting themselves back together. They ran down the stairs and out the door after Eggman as he flew away.
"We must get out of here!" Malachite said, he vanished along with Zoisite.
"I guess we won." Sailor Moon said as she and the other got up and dusted each other off.
"Look what I got!" Sonic said, taking out the last Chaos Emerald.
"We got the last Chaos Emerald!" Tails cheered.
"Now we have three!" Sailor Mercury also cheered.
"Can't say much about our poor city!" Sailor Venus pointed out, since they all looked at the wreckage, a whole city block was destroyed and many buildings were on fire.
"What was that though?" Sailor Jupiter wondered, she stared at her transformation stick, and the others looked at theirs as well or in Sailor Moon's case her brooch.
"Somehow our sticks had some kind of response to Sonic being in danger and us wanting to help!" Sailor Mercury said.
"This sure was strange." Luna pondered.
"I never heard of anything like this before!" Artemis said, also amazed.
"This was a really hard day." Sonic said. "And the fact that the authorities are coming!" He pointed to a huge crowd of SWAT cars and more military vehicles coming.
"We should get going!" Sailor Mars said. "We can figure this out later!" The heroes all broke away and headed back to their homes.
With Eggman.
Eggman was flying back to his base with his two lackeys following him.
"Oh boy!" Grounder said getting all excited. "Now's our chance to make the doctor happy!"
"Right!" Scratch smiled taking out the Chaos Emerald. "Doctor! I have something you want!"
"Oh really?" Eggman said with a hint of doubt, flying down to his badnicks he looked at the gem. He was mildly impressed. "How did you get this!"
"We traded the Rainbow Crystal for it!" Scratch said. Eggman took it in his hand and eyed it closely, he growled loudly and threw the emerald to the ground and it shattered.
"WHAT!" The Badnicks screamed.
"It was a fake!"Eggman yelled. "Come on! It's time we pay the good queen a visit!"
