SailorStar9: Anyway, Chapter 7 goes up. This is Chapter 8. To all my non-reviewing readers, I love you all! Will love you more if you review! *hugs all round!*
Disclaimers: Nothing here is mine, well, except the plot and the pairing.
Chapter 8: KNOCK OUT! The Saillune Family Feud!
"Somebody, help me!" a travelling merchant screamed when he was attacked by bandits, Gourry and Aria having split ways with Lina after Lina had insisted on waiting by the road for Crown Prince Philionel Seyruun.
"You keep this up and I'll end yer life." The bandit pointed a sword at the merchant.
"Here we go again." Aria sighed as she and Gourry stepped out from under a tree.
"Hear me, fiend trapped in the heart of darkness." Amelia declared. "Sheathe that sword which has been dipped in your evil soul. Obey me, or else feel the hammer of justice! I'm right here!" she voiced, on top of a pine tree and jumped down, only to land on her face.
"Okay…" Aria blinked, Gourry poking Amelia's butt, only to have the disguised princess backflip and slip on a rock.
"Now then, Mr. Fiendish Bandit, prepare yourself." Amelia declared.
"Prepare myself for what?" the bandit scoffed. "A clumsy, half-wit girl?"
"Diem Wing!" Amelia cast her spell, trapping the bandit in a air bubble and dropping him into the water. "Burst Rondo!" she blasted the drowning bandit with her fire blasts.
"Jeez…" Gourry gaped. "That's harsh."
"A fitting end to one who stands against justice." Amelia announced. "Well then, excuse me." She was about to run off when she tripped over a crack in the ground. "You wouldn't by any chance be…" she blinked, noticing Gourry and Aria blinking curiously. "Do you work in a pet shop?
"Which part of him looks like he works in a pet shop?" Aria exclaimed.
"So you really are a swordsman?" Amelia gushed.
"You could say that." Gourry replied.
"Could you help me out?" Amelia requested. "I'll pay you, of course."
"Maybe we could talk about that." Aria nodded. "But there's something I'd like to know. Why did you show up on that tree before?"
"You need to ask?" Amelia declared. "Warriors of justice have always done stuff like that."
"If she produces a transformation item to transform into a sailor-suited warrior, I'm out of here." Aria muttered.
Somewhere in another dimension, Sailor Moon sneezed in mid-speech, giving Sailor Mars the opening to set the youma on fire with a 'Fire Soul'.
"So long as evil exists in this world, the wrath of justice shall strike it down!" Amelia declared, the trio having entered the cave where Randy had lured Philionel and Lina into. "Against any fiend in this world, be he of my own family, my justice shall not waver."
"Amelia?" Phil recognized his daughter.
"Gourry? Lina blinked. "Aria?"
"Please don't look at me." Gourry pleaded, Amelia standing on his shoulders.
"Hey, Daddy!" Amelia waved. "I've finally found you."
"But she doesn't look anything like you!" Lina exclaimed.
"No, she's my very own daughter, Amelia." Phil confirmed.
"Okay everyone." Amelia beamed. "Prepare yourselves!" and leapt off Gourry's shoulders, only to fall to the ground when she hit the ceiling.
"Did she forget that we're in a cave?" Aria sweatdropped.
"Thanks dad." Amelia beamed, Phil catching her before she slipped on a rock. "Okay, Uncle Randy! If you repent your evil ways even a little bit, then my dad will be able to forgive you."
"Shut up." Randy muttered. "Get them!"
"Fireball!" Amelia threw her spell. "Digger Bolt!"
"What's with her?" Lina wondered. "Is she a hero freak or something?"
"She said she was looking for her father on the road and needed our help/" Aria explained.
"Why you little…" Randy muttered. "I'm gonna… let's go it!" he turned to his partner-in-crime. "Come forth, our ally! Bras Demon Gaurundia!"
"Wow, they were actually able to summon that thing." Aria was impressed.
"You who controls the power of the Monster race," Amelia declared. "Fools whose hearts are strained with evil."
"You allied yourself with such a monster just to assassinate me?" Phil asked. "Even a pacifist like me can't forgive this. Pacifist Crush!" he slammed a punch at the demon. "Kindness to All Creatures Kick!" his next assault caused the demon to dispel.
"Come forth, our allies!" Randy and his unnamed partner summoned the next Monsters.
"Those fools." Phil retorted. "Let's do it, Amelia."
"Diem Wing!" Amelia cast her spell.
"Good Will Towards Men Smash!" Phil was propelled forward, taking out the three monsters with one shot.
"Uncle, give up your evil ambitions." Amelia declared.
"Fireball!" Randy countered.
"Fireball!" Amelia countered.
"You idiot!" Aria exclaimed. "Do you know what'll happen when those things hit?"
Lina screamed in horror, grabbed Gourry and Aria and fled out of the collapsing cave, with Phil doing the same with Amelia.
"Don't worry." Phil assured when Lina reminded him of the reward. "You can have as much as you want when we get to Seyruun."
SailorStar9: Okay, this chapter is finally down. Read and review folks.
