Chapter 12: Game Master Arc: Monster Madness

Game Master materialized in his room and sensed someone else was there. He looked around and frowned, "Are you there?"

"I can't believe you failed," a voice said from the shadows, "I thought you'd be strong enough to defeat Sailor Mercury."

"Well, Sailor Mercury was stronger than I thought... Stronger than you told me, too... And Suiko... He somehow summoned his forbidden attack." Game Master explained.

"Still, that's no excuse. You better improve next time or I'll have to tell our master to replace you with someone worthy."

"Like you?" Game Master snapped.

"Exactly," the voice said. "Keep on trying, you only have a few 'lives' left..."

Game Master sensed his 'ally' vanishing and frowned, "I knew that green-haired bitch would try and get the spotlight... Too bad I'm not about to give up yet."

Two days later...

"Yes, this time my plan is perfect. These creatures will be a great help in my plans," Game Master said.

One of the creatures, the one that somehow resembled a cat, was floating in mid-air while scratching its ear. Another one that looked like a duck kept on running around like mad.

Both Game Master and the creature right behind him sweatdropped "Then again, they don't look so bright," the villain noted.

"Don't worry; I will make sure the Senshi don't survive this battle," the creature said. Oddly enough, it didn't move its lips to speak.

Game Master looked at the creature. About as tall as a human, yet it was clear it wasn't human at all. It looked more like a mutated, horribly deformed, cat. "I know. Go and eliminate the one that can revive them, Sailor Saturn, also known as Hotaru Tomoe."

The creature nodded and vanished, along with the rest of the creatures. Game Master chuckled. "Well, this time I'll win for sure. And I don't even have to risk myself. Mewtwo and the other Pokémon will destroy them."

Litana walked into the game arcade and, as usual, noticed a quite large crowd gathered around one of the games. "Hmmm... I can bet who's there..." she mused. When she finally made her way through the crowd, though, she frowned "Where's Shuji?"

Nanako shrugged. "I don't know. He's been hard to find lately."

Seiji, who was the other person playing the fighting game, nodded, "Quite a pity, too, he's a real game master..."

Litana gasped. Seiji turned to look at her and rose an eyebrow. "So... You haven't seen him around lately, right?" the brunette girl asked her friend.

Nanako shook her head "No... I really wonder what he's up to..."

"So we do..." Litana and Seiji said in unison.

Nanako looked at them for a second then shrugged and kept on playing.

"So... There you are, Sailor Saturn..."

Hotaru turned to the voice and frowned. A dozen Pokémon, most of them massive. This wasn't looking good. Looking at Mewtwo, she shrugged, "You look better in the game."

Mewtwo smirked, "are you ready to die?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing. Saturn Eternal Power!"

"Attack!" Mewtwo ordered. The Pokémon all sent their attacks flying at Saturn.

"Death Beam!"

"Pikachuuuu!"

Both attacks crashed, causing a small explosion. Saturn leaned on her glaive and panted, "Hurry up guys..."

Mewtwo frowned and looked at the only other psychic Pokémon in the group, Mew. "I guess it's time to end this." Mew nodded and both concentrated. A sphere of energy surrounded Saturn and she screamed in pain.

"Hey you overgrown cat, leave her alone!"

Both Mew and Mewtwo, together with the rest of the Pokémon, turned to the voice. Korin and Jupiter were standing on a tree, swords drawn.

"Looks like you want to die as well... Charizard, do the honours."

Charizard nodded and sent a massive fire blast at Korin and Jupiter. They leapt off the tree a few seconds before the attack hit, then gasped as the tree was turned into ashes by it.

"Guess these will be a handful," Jupiter noted.

Korin nodded, then turned to Mewtwo, "You better leave now before you piss me off."

"Stupid human," Mewtwo muttered. He rose his hand and pointed it at Korin, and a huge energy ball shot at him.

"Thunderbolt Cut!" Korin shot his attack forwards, but it only slowed Mewtwo's attack down a bit. "Uh oh..."

"Rolling Thunder!"

Korin sighed in relief as the energy ball was blasted apart by Jupiter's attack. "Thank you."

"Hey, I saved you, that's a new one," Jupiter noted.

Saturn was still inside the energy sphere, but was now unconscious. "We must hurry. If we don't take her out of that sphere fast, she'll die," Korin noted.

Jupiter nodded and produced her communicator and pressed the emergency button. Lunari's face appeared in the screen "What's up, Litana?"

"We're fighting a bunch of Pokémon, they're after Saturn." Jupiter said.

"Oh... Well, I'll be there in a minute."

Litana nodded, and Lunari cut the communication. Ditea and Ami all appeared in the screen. Litana explained them the situation, then turned to the battle. Korin was trying to break through the swarm of Pokémon, but to no avail. "Guys, please hurry... "

Lunari sighed in disbelief. The enemy seemed to always choose the worst time to attack. Right now, she was on a date with Ryo, and she wasn't really happy to be interrupted. "Well," she said turning to Ryo, "Seems like fun is over..."

"I'll go with you," Ryo said. "I want to be there, just in case you need help."

Lunari sighed. "Okay, you can come with me, but be careful."

Ryo nodded and both dashed out of the scene.

"Thunder Dragon!"

Mewtwo rose his paw and a shield formed, absorbing the attack. "Well, if that's all you've got, you're really in troubles... And you only have a few more minutes before the psychic sphere finishes your friend Saturn off."

"I won't let that happen," Jupiter said and charged at Mewtwo, ready to slice him in half.

"Heh... Sure you won't..." Mewtwo muttered and rose his paw again, another shield formed and Jupiter crashed face-first on it. "Stupid human..."

"Ice Ball!"

"Super Wave Smasher!"

"Morning Star Smash!"

"Iron Rock Crusher!"

Mewtwo turned around and saw the barrage of attacks coming his way. Before they could hit him, however, he had already phased out of the way. "More toys to play with... Take care of them!" The Pokémon that were not fighting Korin nodded and faced the other Senshi.

Mercury frowned, "These Pokémon are stronger than they look."

"Thanks for the coming," Jupiter said, "Guess I'll take on Sparky."

"Pika pi pikachu!"

"Same to you, rat."

"PIKACHUUUU!"

Jupiter stood her ground as the attack hit her "Really, that wasn't the smartest move... SUPREME THUNDER DRAGON!" Jupiter's attack came out three times larger than usual, and slammed on the yellow rat-like Pokémon, vaporizing it instantly.

Venus looked at the Pokémon that she had to fight. "Oh, the irony," she muttered, as the Pokémon was, ironically, a Venusaur.

"Saur, saur." The green, massive Pokémon said then shot a couple vines at her.

"Iron Rock Crusher!" Kongo's attack hit the vines, turning them into charcoal.

Venus nodded and turned to Venusaur and frowned "Ain't got anything better than a pair of vines?"

Venusaur said nothing, but started gathering energy.

"Uhh... What is it doing?" Venus asked.

"Solar Beam," Kongo deathpanned.

"Not a good thing, huh?"

"You bet..."

"Thunderbolt Cut!" Korin leapt just besides the two warriors, after his attack vaporized Venusaur, then leapt away as a half dozen assorted Pokémon chased him.

"He needs help," Kongo noted.

"So does Saturn," Venus noted, "And it doesn't look like Moon can beat that thing..."

"No wonder why... A Mewtwo..."

"Is it strong?" Venus asked.

"Quite," Kongo admitted, "Now where's a Tyranitar when we need one?

"Right here." Tenku muttered. The creature he was fighting was, indeed, a huge, rock-like creature that somehow resembled a dinosaur. "This thing resists anything I shot at it."

"Well, it's a Dark type, so no wonder..." Kongo started, then rose an eyebrow "Now, your attacks are light based..."

Venus nodded "Yep. I know what that means... Morning Star Smash!"

Tenku shrugged as Tyranitar was turned into ashes, "Well, now to take care of the big cat."

Mewtwo was busily shooting energy blasts at Jupiter, while Mew stood guard. The three Senshi saw that and frowned "But how will we beat it?" Korin was busily fighting a Scyssor, and Suiko was facing an Electabuzz. The only other Pokémon around was Charizard, who was right now facing Mercury.

"Mew..."

"Uh oh... He's seen us..." Kongo noted.

"Mew..." The ground around the Senshi started shaking.

"What the heck is it doing?"

"Mew..." Three energy spheres formed, each one capturing one of the three warriors. Mew smiled.

"Flaming Spear!"

Mew rose a shield and frowned as he Mars standing on a nearby rooftop. He floated up and stared at the Senshi unblinking.

"Leave my friends alone, fluffball."

"Mew." Another energy sphere formed, trapping Mars.

"It's trapping everyone..." Mercury muttered.

Korin dashed by, slicing at Charizard's chest as he passed, and causing the huge dragon-like Pokémon to shot a flame blast at him. Scyssor, unfortunately, had been chasing Korin, and the attack hit him instead.

"Well, now we only have this huge lizard to take care of..." Mercury started.

"Flare Up Now!"

"...Then again, seems like it won't bother us anymore..." Mercury added as Rekka's attack stabbed right through Charizard's chest. The massive Pokémon slumped to the ground and turned into dust.

"So all we have to do is take care of the small fluffball and the big fluffball... They don't look that though." Rekka mused.

Mew looked at them and shot a psi ball. The Senshi dove out of the way. "Were you saying?" Korin muttered.

"Dead Scream!"

The attack came from right over Mew's head, slamming him into the ground and knocking him off. The spheres around all the Senshi Mew had captured vanished. Saturn still was trapped inside the original sphere.

"Damn, we need to beat Mewtwo..."

"Jupiter doesn't look too good..." Venus noted. Jupiter was trying to recover her breath, while Mewtwo smiled triumphantly, "But the cat is distracted."

"Let's do it. Flaming Spear!"

"Flare Up Now!"

"Ice Ball!"

"Super Wave Smasher!"

"Morning Star Smash!"

"Iron Rock Crusher!"

"Arrow Shock Wave!"

The attacks all sped towards Mewtwo, but the mutant creature just turned around casually and rose his hand, creating a shield that deflected the attacks. The shield then turned into a massive sphere which trapped all the Senshi but Jupiter. "Well, that's it, I've won."

"No... I won't give up," Jupiter snapped.

"Too bad, then I'll have to kill you first." Mewtwo rose both hands, and a massive energy sphere formed and sped towards Jupiter.

"Supreme Thunder Dragon!" Jupiter used her remaining strength to try and stop the incoming attack, but it only slowed it down a bit. The sphere hit her and sent her crashing on a wall.

"Ultra-Ballistic Arrow Shock Wave!" Tenku released his powered up energy blast, breaking through the bubble and the arrow stabbed through Mewtwo's chest. The mutant Pokémon turned to see the Senshi were free and gasped, "beaten by... A human kid..." Mewtwo slumped to the ground and turned to dust.

"What happened?" Mercury asked.

Jupiter staggered towards them "Well, I got blasted by Mewtwo, and Touma used his 'Arrow Shock Wave' to kill it."

"How's Saturn?" Tenku asked worriedly.

Mercury went to check on the unconscious Senshi, "She's fine, just asleep."

Jupiter leaned against a wall in exhaustion, "Is it just me or the last few battles have been an actual challenge?"

"Do you think Game Master will be able to top this last attack?" Mars asked changing the subject.

"Let's hope he can't..." Suiko said, "Though I cannot think of many things that would be harder to beat than a Mewtwo gone evil..."

Game Master shrugged "Well, seems like this plan wasn't as fool-proof as I thought... But I am working on a better one already..." Sitting on top of a nearby desktop, three odd-looking eggs were starting to hatch...
