Horsing Around

The following day after the battle at the hot springs. Eggman was getting ready for one more attack.

"Is the Egg Horse Head ready?" Eggman said.

"Wouldn't you like to use our secret weapon against the Sailors this time?" Scratch asked.

"I would love to but when we used him against Malachite he took too long to charge his laser so for now I will work out his bugs and I will use my other creations to fight the Sailors." Eggman explained.

"He's all set to go!" Grounder said, giving him a thumbs up.

"Good!" Eggman said, his creation walked into the room. It was a man size robot covered with knight's armor except his hands that were human hands and not horse hooves, It also had a black horse head with glowing robotic red eyes, it had a helmet on his head with his snout out from the cover of the metal with his ears sticking out. Complete with a huge battle axe and a small round shield.

"I got the idea one day after playing a game of chess!" Eggman laughed. "He's based on the knight. Let us be on our way!" And he and his robot left his base.

"Wait for us!" Scratch squawked as he and Grounder went after Eggman.

Back at Lita's home, Tails was sitting on the sofa polishing a Chaos Emerald.

"You got a Chaos Emerald?" Lita asked, walking into the room with two bowls of rice, one for herself and one for Tails.

"Yeah." Tails said. "Sonic gave me one after all we have three." He put it down and began to eat the rice.

"So let me tell you about my day." Lita smiled.

"Oh please no!" Tails thought with a depressed look on his face. Tails finished his rice as there was a knock on the door. He opened it and there was Sonic.

"Finally!" Tails sighed very loudly.

"Have I lied to you?" Sonic asked. "Come on, today is just you and me."

"Great!" Tails cheered. "Let's go!"

"Wait!" Lita called, but it was a little too late. Tails and Sonic already left the complex and Lita missed them.

"You left your Chaos Emerald." Lita sighed, moving back to the table and picking it up. "So this is an emerald." She actually began to feel the radiating power. "Wow! I guess I can see why everyone appears to be after these gems, and they're very pretty, I would love to get one of my own."

Just then the phone rang Lita answered it and it was Serena.

"Hello, Lita?" Serena asked if she's talking to the right person.

"It's me." She said.

"Hi I was just wondering, since my parents took Luna to the vet for checkup we could head to the Arcade!" Serena suggested.

"Ok, Tails ran out on me so I've got nothing better to do." Lita said.

"Great I'll see you there!" Serena cheered and she hung up.

"Looks Like I got my plans!" Lita said getting shoes on, she took one more look at the Chaos Emerald, she didn't say anything so she just pocketed it then she left. After about fifteen minutes of walking she finally arrived at the Game Corner.

"Hi Lita!" Serena called. They met up with each other just standing outside the front door. "So what are Sonic and Tails doing?"

"I don't know." Lita responded. "Sonic said something about spending the day with just the two of them and he just left, he seemed like he couldn't wait to leave, I guess the guy really just wanted to spend the day with Sonic."

Then they walked inside and sat at the tables at the snack bar.

"That or he just wanted to really leave your place!" Serena shrugged.

"Oh come on!" Lita laughed. "Tails wouldn't be like that! I'm sure he loves living with me! I saw the Chaos Emerald he has, I would love to own one."

"I would love to own one to." Serena sighed. "I almost had the first one, we won ours, but Luna was too afraid that I would be too impulsive and would just hawk it for cash."

"Speaking of Luna, how is she?" Lita asked.

"Oh she's going through hell." Serena giggled. "She is scared of getting a shot, hey when you have a pet you gotta take it to the vet."

"Good Point." Lita laughed. "You think Artemis is going through the same thing?"

"Probably it's the only thing that makes me happy every time she bosses me around." Serena smiled.

"Hey Serena!" Andrew called running up to both her and Lita with an excited look on his face. "You'll never guess what I saw on my exploration in the forest two days ago!"

"What exactly?" Serena asked.

"Take a look!" Andrew said flashing his pictures of Sonic and Tails battling Tuxedo Mask. "I saw Sonic and Tails battling a monster that was burning the forest. I almost got eaten but Tails flew me away! It was amazing!"

"Uh." Serena stammered. "Yeah that's the hedgehog that was in the news recently."

"I guess ummm it would be an honor to meet one day!" Lita said, trying to look innocent.

"I'm gonna send these to Rita, she'll never believe me!" Andrew smiled.

"I'm sure she'll love them!" Serena sweated.

"Uh, I know I would?" Lita said not knowing what exactly to say.

"Ok, why are you two acting so nervous?" Andrew asked. "Do you two know something I don't?" But before Lita and Serena could think of an ok story to tell him, they heard screaming coming from the outside on the road, people running up the street.

"Well that's not good!" Andrew said.

"Oh thank god!" Lita and Serena thought at the same time.

They all looked out the window and saw Eggman's creation roaming the streets with his henchmen and smashing buildings, cars, and lamppost, and he easily smashed all the police cars racing towards it with its axe or it could destroy the front ends just by punching to hoods once they got close enough.

"Good, my creation, make this city bow before me!" Eggman said.

"It's Eggman!" Lita and Serena screamed.

"He's been in the news also, but in a negative way!" Andrew said, slightly excited. "I'll go get my camera!" Andrew just seemed happy while everyone was in a panic.

Serena and Lita nodded and they both ran into the bathrooms and locked the doors then they both took this opportunity to transform.

"Moon Prism Power Make Up!"

"Jupiter Power Make Up!"

They both ran to the door, but Sailor Moon crashed her face into the door.

"Sailor Moon!" Sighed Sailor Jupiter, "Have you forgotten that the door is locked?"

"Uh, yes." Sailor Moon stammered. She reached for the lock and undid it then they rushed out the door and then they ran out the arcade door.

"Hey! Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter!" Andrew called "It really is just a great day for photos! Hey Serena…" he looked around and noticed that she wasn't there. "Hmm, I guess the commotion must have scarred her and Lita away."

"Freeze!" The police shouted pointing their guns at the Egg Horse Head.

"They resist us!" Grounder said.

"We must clear this riff raff for when the Sailors arrive!" Scratch said.

"Right!" Eggman said, he snapped his fingers and the Horse Head snorted loudly and he blew fire like a dragon from his mouth and nostrils and it blew up the cop cars like two bombs.

"Enough of this!" Shouted the voice of Sailor Moon.

"Oh?" Eggman said with delight. Turning his head.

"I won't allow you to create havoc on our fair town!" Sailor Moon declared. "I am the Sailor Warrior of love and Justice Sailor Moon."

"Likewise Sailor Jupiter!" She said.

"And in the name of the moon!" They both posed. "We Shall Punish You!"

"At last!" Eggman said. "Now is my chance, Horse Head get them!" Horse Head whinnied and charged at the Sailors and swung its huge axe at them downward but the sailors dodged in time. The axe hit the road and too out a large chunk of it and the blade wasn't even scratched.

"I'm gonna get cleaved!" Sailor Moon cried as she hit the ground and the badnicks just laughed.

"Not as long as I'm around!" Sailor Jupiter said. "I'll zap him, If I can't blow it up, maybe I can at least shut it down."

Supreme Thunder!

The lightning flew but Horse Head raised his shield and the lightning was just absorbed by the shield.

"What?" Sailor Jupiter shrieked.

"Do you honestly think I'm that stupid?" Eggman laughed.

"You really don't want me to answer that." Sailor Jupiter grumbled.

"See the spike on the center of the shield? It's made to also be a conduction rod, and the handle I made with hard rubber! Good luck trying to zap him!" Eggman explained.

"Ha!" Scratch laughed. "The one big edge you have against us, we managed to find a way around! A HA HA HAAAAA!"

"Don't worry!" Sailor Moon said hammering on the keypad on the communicator. "Help is on the way! You just keep him busy"

"No problem!" Sailor Jupiter winked. She charged at Horse head and he began to swing his axe to slice Sailor Jupiter in two she threw out her arm and grabbed and the robot threw down the shield and tried to push Sailor Jupiter but she grabbed it with her other arm and they were both locked and struggling to push each other down.

"Wow, she sure is tough!" Grounder remarked.

"Which is all the more reason for me to have her join my glorious empire!" Eggman shouted.

"You haven't thought of everything!" Sailor Jupiter grunted, she used her attack again.

"Supreme Thunder!"

The Horse Head just absorbed all the lighting and didn't short circuit.

"What!?" Sailor Jupiter shouted and Horse Head managed to throw her down.

"Or perhaps I did!" Eggman laughed. "Show them the present I've given you!" Horse Head's chest opened up and revealed the red Chaos Emerald then it closed it.

"A Chaos Emerald?" Sailor Moon shouted. "Good thing I told Rei that we're up against Eggman."

"So this is no ordinary foe we're dealing with!" Sailor Jupiter grumbled standing up.

"Now get them!" Eggman ordered. Horse Head blew fire at them but there was a small moment of reprieve showing up.

"Bubble Spray!"

The other Sailors arrived when Sailor Mercury's mist put out the fire.

"It's about time you showed up!" Sailor Moon sighed.

"Yeah otherwise you would be well done or medium rare!" Sailor Mars laughed.

"Good!" Eggman laughed. "the gang's all here! Now I can capture you all!"

"Just so you guys know that machine has a Chaos Emerald powering it!" Sailor Moon pointed out.

"Well that just made things ten times harder!" Sailor Mars shouted.

"Allow me!" Sailor Venus said. She used her attack.

"Crescent Beam!"

The beam flew but just bounced off the armor.

"You're new to this aren't you?" Scratch laughed.

"Your magic attacks are far too weak against our technology!" Eggman mocked.

Sailor Venus grabbed onto Sailor Mercury with much fear on her face while Sailor Jupiter wrestled with the Horse Head again.

"Tell Me!" Sailor Venus panicked. "You must have beaten these guys before! How did you win?"

"Fire Soul!"

Mars used her fire on the Horse Head but the fire just went out. The Horse Head used his own fire on Mars after kicking Sailor Jupiter down.

"Well uh." Sailor Mercury stammered. "If it wasn't Sonic coming to our rescue. Then usually would gain power from a Chaos Emerald!"

"DO WE HAVE ANY CHAOS EMERALDS!?" Sailor Venus shouted shaking Sailor Mercury.

"I still have that green one!" Sailor Mars said, taking it out of her pocket.

"Oh goodie!" Eggman smiled. "One Chaos Emerald for me! Today is my lucky day!"

"Everyone come together and touch it!" Sailor Mars said, everyone came together and touched the emerald and they all gained power from it.

"All right!" Sailor Mars said, determined. "Now he's ours." Eggman just smirked. Then the Sailors threw their attacks at it.

"Fire Soul!"

"Bubble Spray!"

"Crescent Beam!"

"Supreme Thunder!"

"Moon Tiara Action!"

All the attacks exploded on the horse head but he emerged from the smoke unharmed.

"WHAT!?" Sailor Moon screamed. "That always works!"

"You fools!" Eggman laughed. "You were far outmatched against me from the beginning! He's also being powered by a Chaos Emerald, do you honestly think that just because you have one yourselves you're still any match for me!?"

"So even though we are stronger with the emerald, we're still too weak!" Sailor Mercury panicked.

The Horse Head whinnied and charged at the Sailors and swung its axe at them and they all jumped away in time.

"Enough of this!" Eggman shouted. "Scratch Grounder! capture them and bring them before me!"

"Ok!" Scratch and Grounder said, taking out their guns and pointing at them.

"What will we do!?" Sailor Venus cried.

"It's either fight or get captured!" Sailor Mars said, putting on a brave face.

"Oh wait!" Sailor Jupiter said, just remembering something. She reached into her pocket and took out Tails Chaos Emerald. "Everybody look at what I got!"

"Another Chaos Emerald?" Sailor Moon cheered.

"It is my lucky day!" Eggman gasped in awe. "Capture them now!" Scratch and Grounder fired their nets and Sailor Mars thought fast and used her fire.

"Fire Soul!"

Her flames scorched the nets and burned them.

"You idiots! I wanted you two to use the laser binders!" Eggman screamed.

"Ohhhhhhh!" Scratch and Grounder said, not realizing how badly they screwed up. While they were doing that the sailors all touched the second emerald and got two times the emerald powers. Then they tried their attacks again.

"Moon Tiara Action!"

"Bubble Spray!"

"Fire Soul!"

"Supreme Thunder!"

"Crescent Beam!"

The Beam and Lightning melded together while the fire and bubbles melded with the Tiara. The Tiara attack went to the Horse Head and blew it up.

"Grrrr." Eggman growled. "You may have won this round, but next time you will meet something that not even Sonic can defeat!" He began to rise but he failed to notice that the other attack wasn't meant for the robot.

"We got a present for you Eggman!" Sailor Jupiter called. He turned around and panicked. The lightning beam hit him and caused many small explosions and his skin turned bright red as his hair and mustache stood up and his hair and mustache was charred black.

"You'll Regret This!" Eggman screamed as he rushed off still giving off small explosions. The Sailors Smirked at Scratch and Grounder while they panicked and ran after Eggman.

"We won!" Sailor Venus cheered.

"Not only that!" Sailor Jupiter said as she walked over to the explosion site and picked up a radiant red jewel.

"The red Chaos Emerald!" Sailor Moon cheered.

"That was chaotic." Sailor Venus sweated. "I think I want to go home and take a nice long hot shower!" The girls waved bye to each other and they all parted ways.

"Yes!" Andrew cheered holding his camera, he was standing at least three blocks away from the fight. Taking photos without anyone knowing. "That was incredible! Now Rita will love me even more when I show these to her!"

Later that night Tails returned and this time Sonic decided to stay a while before heading out again.

"Had fun?" Lita asked as she handed him and Sonic a few rice balls.

"Yes." Tails smiled. "So sad that it's over."

"I had quite a bit of excitement myself!" Lita smirked.

"What do you mean?" Sonic asked, snacking on a rice ball.

"Here!" Lita cheered, flashing the red emerald.

"A Chaos Emerald?" Sonic and Tails gasped.

"We had another close encounter with Eggman today, we beat his robot and took the Chaos Emerald that was powering it." She explained then she tossed Tails back his Chaos Emerald. "You know it was actually you who saved us! You forgot it when you left."

"Uh, hehehe." Tails giggled, scratching the back of his head. "Thanks I guess."

"So." Sonic smiled. "That makes five, now only Beryl has one and Knuckles has one."

"We'll need all seven if we're going to save the world." Tails said.

"I know we can do it!" Lita smiled at the two.
