Chapter 7
Before the scream
Moon POV
I walked out of the bathroom, after taking care of some things, and back into his bedroom
'Okay, now what do I do?' I went to the door, opened it and saw a living room. I heard Tux in the kitchen so I decided to see what he was making. 'Man, this is a nice place. I guess he's getting paid better than me for this super hero gig.' Looking around his place, I laughed slightly to myself as I walked to the kitchen. He stood at the counter with is back to me making sandwiches. A girl could really get used to this. "Uh, what kind of sandwiches are you making?"
"Well, if you don't mind, I was thinking about PB'n J's. It's easy and fast." His back was still to me and all I could see was his wide, broad shoulders. I looked at his shoulders, then his back, and finally his butt. 'Hey, I'm a girl I can't help it.' I tilted my head to the side a little to get a better look 'Nice Butt! I' smiled slightly to myself. I heard a little chuckle and my eyes shot up to see Tux looking over his shoulder. He saw me looking admiring his backside. (AN: I'm tired of saying butt). My cheeks glowed bright red.
"Like what you see?" He smiled and turned to face me. My embarrassment was so apparent that I didn't see the point in acting like I don't know what he's talking about. "As a matter of fact I do." I smiled trying to ignore my growing embarrassment. I wish I could tell what he is thinking.
Tux POV
'I'm so glad she can't tell what I'm thinking. I would be in real trouble.' "At least you're honest," I said and laughed as her face got redder. 'I can't believe she admitted to checking me out.' I shook my head and started towards the living room. "Come on, we can eat in the living room. Grab a couple of cokes out of the frig please." I carried our sandwiches to the living room as Moon followed. We both sat on the couch and started eating. I have no clue what to talk about.
Author's POV
With the girls.
The girls ran out of the temple towards the park, where the noise came from. They ran into the forest to transform.
"Mercury Star Power." Blue streams of water surrounded Amy's body. They suddenly cocooned her body, then burst away and she became Sailor Mercury.
"Jupiter Star Power." Green lights surrounded her body in a cocoon as lighting bolts strike it. A huge lighting bolt hit the cocoon then Jupiter sprang forth.
"Venus Star Power." Stars came flying from the sky. Her body became surrounded by flying stars. After a moment they shot everywhere and Venus emerged.
"Mars Star Power." Flames shot up from the ground as they engulfed her as the flames spun around her a suit appeared. Raye curled in a ball then sprang out.
After the girls transformed they continued running. When they reached the battle sight the Scouts came to a complete stop. There were bodies everywhere, most where young men instead of the usual women. Non were dead, but all had their energy sucked out. There were about ten to fifteen bodies scattered around the rose garden. All the girls could so was stare.
"How the hell was this character able to do all this?" Mars looked at the bodies.
The 'character' in question had her back to the Scouts and all they could see of her was long wavy white hair and slender legs. Her hair reached the back of her knees and she had blue heels on her feet. When she hears Mars she turned around. The girls' jaws dropped as well as the cats'. Artimis jaw was on the ground and his tounge was hanging out. The 'character' was about the same height as Jupiter. She had light brown eyes with a sparkle of gold in them. She had pale skin, a white tank top showing her stomach and blue biker shorts on. They were purely shocked. Artimis' jaw was still on the ground. Io was a beautiful woman and they were shocked she was evil. "Well, you must be the Sailor Scouts. My name is Io and I'm here to kill you Sailor Shits." Io started to attack. She took a whip off her shorts and snapped it at the girls.
They were still to stunned to avoid the attack, it was a direct hit.
"Shit!" Mars yelled as she fell back with a slash on her left arm.
"Damn!" Jupiter yelled as she fell on her stomach with a slash across her back.
"Ahhhh...!" Mercury yelled as she hit her head on a rock with a slash across her left calf.
No sound came from Venus. She laid unconscious near some bushes. Artimis and Luna didn't get hit by the attack because they were hidden in the bushes. He ran to see what the damage was. There was a slash on her shoulder and a deep gash near her left eye. Artimis turned to Luna, "Contact Moon. We need her. Now!"
Tux's Apartment
They just finished their lunch when Moon's communicator went off. Moon looked at it then jumped up from the table and ran towards the bedroom.
'That was odd,' Tux thought as he heard the door slam.
Moon in Tux's room.
"What is it Luna?" The cat's face appeared on the screen.
"Moon! You have to come to the rose garden now. There's a new enemy. She attacked the girls. Mars and Jupiter are okay but Mercury and Venus were hit in the head and Venus isn't moving. Get here NOW!"
"I'm on my way." Moon closed her communicator and ran to find Tux. "Tux boy, I have to go. There is a monster in the rose garden and the scouts need me."
"No, you are still seriously injured and if you go, there is a good chance you could reopen your wounds or get more injured." Tux stood in front of her with his hands on his hips.
"What! You have to take me. I don't know where I'm at and I could get lost trying to find the battle and the more danger the Scouts are in. If I'm not there they could die." Moon looked up at him and pouted. Her hands were also on her hips.
"Plus, if you think about it, why would another monster attack so soon? Your enemy thinks he took you out and now is going after the scouts. If he finds out that you're back in action he'll make that monster come after you instead of the scouts and kill you." He smirked a little because he knew she figures out he was right.
"Shit. I guess you're right. But the Scouts need help. I can't just let them die. I have to do something, They need me!" Moon's eyes began to water as she thought about her friends dying because she thought she couldn't let the enemy find out she wasn't dead. She closed her eyes to hide the tears there but one slipped out and slid down her cheek. Tux raised his gloved hand and gently wiped the tear away with his index and middle finger rubbing her cheek. (AN: He still has the gloves on.) He noticed the slight quiver of her lips and his heart broke in two.
'I can't stand to see her cry. But what can I do? She'll get killed if I let her go and the scouts will die if I don't. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Damn what am I going to do? I can't let her die. I have a strong feeling that it's up to me to keep her safe and it would crush me if anything happened to her.' He couldn't figure out why he felt like this so he decided to push it to the back of his mind till he had time to figure it out and focused on what he was going to do. He just looked at her as more tears escaped from her closed eyes. "Moon, please don't cry. It hurts me when you do," he whispered putting both gloved hands on her cheeks rubbing the tears away.
She opened her eyes; her bright blues eyes were now filled with water and the color a sad shade of dark blue. "What do you mean?" She blinked as she stared into his eyes. 'It hurts him when I cry? I guess he doesn't like to see women cry.'
"I mean every time a tear falls from your eyes my heart cracks a little. Please don't make my heart break anymore." His thumbs continued to rub her cheeks as the tears fell.
She couldn't believe that her crying would break any man's heart. She couldn't think of anything to say; all she could do was stare at him.
"Please don't cry," he whispered pleadingly. His thumbs still stroked her cheeks.
"Why does your heart break every time I cry?" her voice was nothing more than a whisper.
His eyes sparkled as he chuckled. "Honestly I don't know. All I know is there is a special bond between us. Every hurt you feel, I feel it too. That's how I know when you're in trouble. And when you're sad I feel it ten times more. So please don't cry." He smiled slightly at the amazement in her eyes.
"But what about the Scouts? If they die I'll have no reason to live. They are my best friends and I don't know what I would do if I lost them." Tears started coming again, harder. Tux couldn't stand to see her cry so he grace in. "Fine, I'll take you. But you are to stay hidden and leave when I say so. Those are my conditions. Take it or leave it." His voice was soft but there was still steal in there that made Moon realize there was going to be no negotiation.
"But I have to attack the monster. I can't do that hiding." Tears were still in her eyes but they weren't the only emotion there. Anger was shining through, brightly. "You have to understand. Mercury and Venus are unconscious. Mars and Jupiter are badly hurt. They NEED me to attack. I can't just stand back and watch. Your attacks aren't strong enough to kill the monster." More tears started falling with each word she said, her voice got louder till she was shouting at him.
He didn't do anything. Tux just stood there and let her yell at him. 'It'll make her feel better if she can rant for a little bit. Though she has a point. None of us can kill these monsters. We aren't strong enough.' He closed his eyes and sighed in defeat. "Fine, you can attack but you have to keep out of sight. I'll distract the monster so you can get it form behind. Understand? The monster is not to see you." He gave her a stern look to let her know he was serious and planted his hands on his hips.
She was so happy she put her arms around his neck and kissed him. It was over before he knew what hit him but he was till startled.
"What was...that...about?" He stammered out.
"I don't know. I'm sometimes impulsive." She looked at him getting nervous.
"Um...we better go. I'll carry you." He walked into his bedroom with Moon on his heels and walked out on the balcony. He turned, picked her up bridal style and started jumping on roof tops.
Moon only had enough time to wrap her arms around his neck before he took off.
Battle at the Rose Garden
'Where is she?' Luna thought as she watched the Scouts fight literally for their lives. Venus was still unconscious near the bushes. Artimis was with her with a worried look on his face. The slash on her shoulder was deep but stopped bleeding along with the gash on her head. (AN: How will she cover that up for the party?) Luckily for her the monster thought she was not that important to keep attacking. Io was more interested in Mars and Jupiter than anything else. Mercury wasn't fighting but trying to figure out the damage done to her and Venus.
"Mars Fireball Charge." Fireballs shot out of Mars' fingers and hit Io right in her middle.
"Jupiter Thunder Dragon." A bolt of thunder in the shape of a dragon shot from the sky and ran through Io's middle leaving a hole there.
"One more shot should do it," Mercury yelled to the other scouts.
"Mars Fireball-" Io threw her whip again and slashed on her other arm.
"Guess more than one shot is needed," Artimis whispered to himself.
"Moon Scepter Elimination." The voice and attack came out of nowhere and Io never knew what hit her.
"Where did that come from?" Luna asked looking around trying to find Moon.
"I don't know but thank God that it did," Artimis said looking around also.
"We have to go before anything else happens." Mercury took out her cell and called for help for the other victims. "Lets get back to the temple and get fixed up." Mercury and Jupiter helped Venus up and all the scouts walked towards the temple.
Moon was hidden in a patch of woods watching the scouts walk off. 'Venus is still unconscious and the others are wounded.' Moon looked up at Tux and he noticed the tears there.
'Not again,' he thought.
"They're injured and they need me." A tear slipped down her cheek.
"Do you really want to go with them or stay with me?" His hand cupped her wet cheek.
At the Temple
"At least she came to help," Amy said as she wrapped Raye's arm.
"Took her long enough. We should put a tracker on her," Raye growled out, part from anger and part from pain.
"Settle down Raye. You'll make you injuries worse," Lita scorned while wrapping Mina's head.
Mina was still unconscious but was responding so they know she is alright.
Artimis laid next to Mina's head rubbing his head against her cheek.
"I know you're worried about her but by morning she'll be fine." Amy walked over and pet his head.
"I wonder where Moon is? She was at the battle but after that I don't know," Luna speculated.
"She might be 'sleeping' with Tux again," Raye growled as Lita helped her get into her pajamas on. "Ow, that hurt." Raye glared at Lita.
"Sorry, I guess I must have hit the bandage tying to pull your arm through the sleeve," Lita said with a glint in her eye.
"Sure you are." Raye said through clenched teeth. "How about I wrap your back for you?"
"No thanks. I know Amy doesn't mind doing it. You should get to bed. Just be careful with your arms. Don't want to make them worse." Lita knew exactly what Raye was thinking. 'Like I would fall for that. She just wants to get me back for hurting her arm. Serves her right. She has no reason for getting pissy about Serena being with Tux. He reminds me of my old boyfriend Freddy..." Lita became lost on that thought.
Places still unknown
"Damn it.!" His fist hit the table shaking the glass on it. "How in the hell did that happen?" he yelled. "Moon is dead or so injured she'll die soon. Who killed Io?" He swiped his hand across the table causing the cup to fly across the room.
"I bet it was Moon." Ivy shimmered in the room. " We thought the scouts would kill her but I bet it was Moon. She must not be as injured as we thought. But she is still injured That is why she didn't show herself. When she does, though, I'll be ready." Ivy was also becoming enraged but her master calmed her down.
"Enough, Ivy. You'll get your chance. But you'll wait. If you didn't notice the scouts were just as shocked as we were. It'll take time. You need to heal up, be patient.
"Take your own advice." She walked over and put her hand on his arm. Her master sat back in he throne and put his other hand on his head. Ivy sat on the arm of his throne. "The dance is coming soon."
He punched her off his throne and yelled, "Leave now!"
She bowed. "Yes master." Ivy shimmered out.
'She's right though. I do have the dance and hopefully a beautiful blonde date.' A wicked smile crept to his lips.
It's done. Well this chapter is. I know it has been over a year. But with school, ROTC, joining the Marine Corps, Hurricane Katrina, my computer crashing, work, my life has been real crazy.
