I turn around, and find myself almost nose to some kind of protuberance with a youma. I duck down, just as it swings, and back up, closer to Urawa, "You sho-We should get out of here!" I tell him, taking hold of his shirt sleeve and running with him around a corner on the other side.

The youma is purples, blacks and whites, it has long talons on its hands and the face looks like a mask. I try to compare it with ones we've seen before. I also try to surreptitiously reach for my cell phone, but Urawa is here. A civilian. A little voice in my head points out that he might know anyway if he truly is the way he was implying, but I can't get past the idea, and now my way of running off as though just entirely miffed at him is blocked by a nasty creature. You didn't think that one through, Ami-chan, I chide myself.

On the upside there isn't anyone else in the square, that I can see, or that the youma seems to be able to see. It turns around in a circle, and then starts heading our way again.

Maybe we can get around the back side of the fountain before it gets close to us, and then be back on to the street. I get out my cell phone ready to make an excuse about calling the authorities.

Urawa looks over at me, "Mizuno-san," he says, "If you have to go I understand."

I look over at him, chewing on my lip again, "Urawa-san…I…"

"I'm sorry," he says, "I'll make this easier for you," and he starts to walk out to the square.

I look down at the phone. I'm about to call the others, when I hear Usagi's voice, closely followed by Makoto's, chiding the youma.

Were they close enough that they were watching?

I run towards him, and grab his hand, "Don't. Look there are senshi here. It's safe. We can get to safety while it's distracted."

He gives me a strange look, but starts to follow me around the back of the fountain. I catch Usagi as Moon giving me a wink, and hope that he hasn't noticed. Then a youma, I realize it's the same youma, appears in front of us. Another teleporter…

"Hey! Come back over here!" Jupiter demands, "We weren't done with you yet!"

They're running towards it, when it spins around, energy shooting out at all angles. I try to move in front of Urawa, but he pushes me out of the way instead, I brace my arms against the side of the fountain, and he gets hit with the blast, being thrown backwards into the bushes.

Jupiter and Moon try to shoot it with various powers, but it teleports away, again, as I run to Urawa, and try to help him from the bushes. He's out cold. I feel his forehead, and his pulse, he doesn't stir. I look back to Jupiter and Moon, chewing on my lip, "Mercury power, make up!"

I feel the energy around me, amplified because of the fountain so close to us, which gives me an idea. As the energy dissipates to leave me as a senshi, I hear Jupiter, for once, attacking with actual energy rather than just trying to lunge at the youma and beat it to death, and Moon making disgruntled noises as her tiara hits wall instead of youma. I give Urawa one last glance, before, running around the other side, springing over the fountain wall, to land opposite Moon, so that the youma is between the points of the triangle.

"From all sides?" Moon asks.

"Sure," Jupiter says, drily, "Now that it overheard us."

With a blip the youma disappears again, and reappears closer to the fountain. It waves as though challenging us to actually hit it.

"I was thinking…" I whisper, closing the gap between the other senshi and myself, "if we can get it in to the actual fountain, Mako-chan might be able to electrocute it."

Jupiter's eyes light up at this prospect, "Bring it!" she enthuses.

"Then, if that's not enough, Usagi-chan can attack with the moon wand…" I add.

Moon uses 'Twilight flash!' a couple of times trying to herd it. Jupiter and myself running either side, also trying to get it to appear where we wish it too, it's a difficult battle in the sense that it becomes very frustrating, finally though, after ups and downs, and wishing very strongly that it doesn't just completely disappear it lands on top of the fountain. Jupiter's attack doesn't have the affect we are hoping for, however, given there's not enough water.

I grab her arm to stop her trying to jump up there and knock it down, "Iie, too dangerous, you'll electrocute yourself as well."

"We have to kill it!" she points out.

Moon tries her boomerang again, in the hopes of knocking it down. This sends us diving for cover as it's deflected again.

"Usagi!" Jupiter hisses, "be more careful."

On the other side of the fountain, I see Urawa starting to struggle to his feet, and the youma turns, attracted by the noise.

"Yikes!" I gasp before I realize what I've said. Jupiter looks at me, with a sideways smile, "Water, please, please help…" I reach, the same way I did before when Kunzite was holding Usagi prisoner. I feel myself stretching with my mind, the wisps that are normally casually present, pulling together.

Beside me I hear Jupiter powering up, also, "Supreme!"

I daren't open my eyes, fearing I'll lose concentration.

"Now!" I hear Moon.

"Thunder!"

I open my eyes only when I hear the crack of impact. A spherical wall of water is surrounding the youma, still perched on top of the fountain. The ball crackles with electrical surge, which is wending the height of the fountain. The youma jerks like a very bad dancer, and then as my concentration lapses and the ball of water falls away, it too drops like a rock into the fountain.

We jump back away from the splash. The youma jerks and twitches, and lays still.

"Moon Healing Escalation!" Moon adds, zapping at it with the wand. It crumbles to dust; she winks at Jupiter and myself, and glances around.

Urawa picks himself up properly, jumping, also away from the water that has escaped the fountain with the youma's impact. I move behind Jupiter and around towards him, before checking myself. I have blue hair and am wearing a senshi fuku! Nervously, I slow down, walking more casually, "Are you alright, sir?" I ask, trying not to choke on the words, "Do you need to go to a hospital?"

"Can one of us get you home?" Jupiter asks, nudging me.

"I think I'm okay," he says, stumbling and then bracing himself against the wall, "Mizuno-san…" is it my imagination or does he pointedly look at me, and then glance around as though looking for me? Well, civilian me. I look pleadingly at Jupiter. I'm a terrible liar. I can't…

"She's fine," Jupiter says, stepping forward, "Ne, Mercury?" she says, giving me a pointed look now, "Why don't you escort the young man to safety, while Sailor Moon and I make sure there's no more youma, or shitenou around?"

"But" I look at Urawa. I look back at Jupiter.

"See ya!" she waves at me, and jumps the length of the fountain to join Moon.

"So," I say, turning back to Urawa, "Which way?"
