BATTLE COURSE 303
Chapter 3: New Power, New Hero
Part 1
"Master Burns Sir!" shouted a giant monster cupcake with pink frosting in a feminine as it ran into the run down city's high school gym. The leader of the aliens looked at the minion coldly as he said "What is it Skinner?"
"Well sir," started the cupcake. "We started to gather the last humanoids with energy as we could like you ordered, but some minions did not come back."
"WHAT?!" shouted Burns, shocked while his claw broke the wooden staff he held in half like a toothpick.
"It is true sir. Not only was Nelson and Jimbo was destroyed, but so was Wigam, Moe, Otto, Apu and Ochmen. None of them have returned. I sent some of the spare minions and they reported that they found the minions in pieces. Like someone made them explode from the inside." Burns remained quiet, thinking to himself about the situation. After a short period of time and no answer, Skinner cleared his throat and said "What do you wish us to do sir?" Burns remained silent, as if ignoring the monster cupcake. Everyone in the gym waited for their leader's response in silence. Then, the leader of the aliens shouted "S-S-K-K-I-I-N-N-N-N-E-E-R-R-!-!"
"y-yes s-s-s-ir?" The minion stuttered from fear.
"Obviously, this is the work of those rebels that appeared when we first started invading."
"But sir, didn't we kill them all?" asked Smithers tentatively. Burns turned to his second in command and said in an annoyed voice "well, apparently some survived." He turned back to the minion who was starting to shake.
"We need to get rid of those rebels who still stand in our way of domination. Skinner, I want you to go prepare special energy extraction tubes for them. Smithers, release the hounds."
A ball of white energy balanced between Debbie's palms as she pointed it at a stack of cans Antauri gathered. She took a deep breath and put her wrists together while opening her hands to make a V. Doing this, she released the ball and it smashed into the cans with a loud clank. The clanking echoed as the soda cans fell to the ground and Debbie smiled. She was getting better at this. Chiro and Antauri clapped while she took a few deep breaths and the silver robotic monkey started to pick up the cans once again. For Debbie, it felt great using her extra aura like this. Her body was responding to the need of helping to save everyone she cared about. Chibi Moon watched silently while the strange silver monkey stacked the cans into a pyramid shape and crossed her arms over her chest. It wasn't that she didn't like the girl with magenta hair and silver highlights; Debbie was quite nice but the pink haired Senshi was mad at Sailor Moon and Chiro. The Senshi leader would let her battle with the sailor scouts but she wouldn't let her come with her to gather up the lost team? Why was the leader of the Sailor Senshi being so hypocritical? Chibi Moon was going to give that girl a piece of her mind as soon as she got back to the rebel's hideout.
"She cares about you Chibi Usa." Said Antauri as if she was voicing her opinions out loud. Chiro didn't seem surprised at the sudden statement while the girls looked at him strangely.
"Huh?" asked the Senshi in training, her ruby eyes wide.
"You were wondering why Sailor Moon left you here instead of taking you with her, right?" Chibi Moon nodded. "She didn't take you with her was because she knew how dangerous things are on this planet right now."
"Yes, he's right." Said Debbie, pointing her index finger at the ceiling to make her look like a nerd in school. "Burns' minions are almost always crawling somewhere. Not to mention the wildlife in the forests and lakes. She didn't want you to get hurt at all." Chibi Moon remained quiet while Debbie held out her hands like she did before. A sphere of white energy reappeared and spun in her hands while she moved it back into the V. 'Maybe they're right.' The pink haired Senshi thought to herself. 'Maybe, she just didn't want me to get hurt. Wow, that meatball head actually thought this through.' once the cans fell over again, everyone clapped and Antauri started to set them up once again. There suddenly was a pop sound and a small white orb from the open area on the dirt floor underneath the hatch. The four heroes froze in their spots, as there was a burst of white energy in the sport, blinding them. Antauri uncovered his blue eyes first and said "My word." The humans uncovered their eyes as well and let out a series of gasps. In the clear spot underneath the hatch, was Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars, stuck together in awkward positions on top of each other like two pieces of chocolate left out in the sun, then put into the freezer to harden. Their bodies were covered with a strange yellowy fluid while their eyes darted around the room, searching.
"Um, a little help please someone?" said Moon, her face frozen in a determined form, like she was fighting and was frozen in time.
"Oh fudge. Hold on a second." Said Debbie as she ran to the latch. She jumped over the Senshi and grabbed the ladder to the hatch, where she quickly spun the lock and pulled herself into the shack over it.
"Actually, it was a brownie." Said Mars while the other three walked up to the two frozen Senshi.
"Told ya I should have gone with you." Said Chibi Moon while she held her hands behind her back.
"Shut up Chibi Moon." Said both Senshi in unison.
"What happened to you guys?" Chiro asked while Debbie jumped back into the hideout, barely missing the two. In her hands were two plastic jugs of water that could be found in a supermarket. While she gently put the jugs on the ground and went to lock the latch, Mars said, "Well, I was completely lost when I bumped into Nova and Gibson. We were attacked by this Indian accented brownie and were covered with this goop. Luckily Jupiter showed up and took care of them, but then there was another brownie and she got paralyzed too."
"Then when I showed up," continued Sailor Moon. "I saw the brownie throwing Sailor Jupiter, Nova and Gibson into a portal. I was able to take care of him before he threw in Mars, but I got covered with this stuff." Debbie jumped back down from the latch and handed a jug to Chiro, who was closest. They both pulled off the tab, then the lids and the rebel girl held it above her head.
"Just relax." She said while Chiro mimicked her movement. "Oh, and sorry if any of this goes in your noses." She turned the jug upside down and dumped it on top of the two stuck-together Senshi. The monkey boy fallowed suit and emptied the water jugs onto the Senshi of mars and the Senshi leader. Once emptied, they watched as the butter colored goop melt with a chorus of sizzling sounds. It dripped off their bodies like they were plastic wrap and soak into the dirt ground. Moon and Mars coughed out the water that had fallen into their mouths before they climbed off each other and got into more comfortable sitting positions. The Senshi of fire removed some raven hair from her lavender eyes while Moon started to wring out her long hair and said "What was that stuff?"
"It's called 'Paralyzing Butter'." Debbie explained, throwing her empty plastic jug over her shoulder. "Burns discovered that any minion with a baked good as it's original form made it in their bodies naturally. Like ours makes blood. That's why most minions are like Donuts, muffins, etc."
"Most?" Chibi Moon piped up. "I don't like the sound of most."
"Burns did make some of his more deadly minions from animals, but he hardly ever lets them out." A knocking came from the hatch shushed the group. Antauri put a finger to his lips while Mars and Moon stood up and he moved to the top of the latch. The humans quickly moved to the center of the room while his body turned reddish-purple. He slowly slipped his form through the hatch while everyone waited in silence. He came back down faster than he did going up and said "Uh, Debbie? Did Burns ever use dogs for his minions?"
"Yeah, they are the nastiest and the meanest. Why?" Suddenly the hatch was ripped open like it was tissue paper while Antauri quickly flew over to the humans. Two large black dogs the size of a full sized couch jumped into the hideout through the hole and growled loudly. The whites of their eyes had turned yellow while the pupils were a dark red color and clear slobber dripped from their bared fangs.
"That's why."
"Holy crap!" Debbie exclaimed as she took a step backwards. "They were able to find the hideout!"
"What are we going to do?" asked Chibi Moon, hopping for an answer. Sailor Moon scanned the hideout with her clear blue eyes and thought for a minute. She looked back at the dogs for a second before she turned to the leader of the Hyper Force and said "Chiro, do you think you, Antauri and Debbie can take on one in here?"
"I think so. Why?" he answered.
"Cause we're about to make the other mad. Senshi!" Sailor Mars and Chibi Moon quickly looked at their leader, who went into full on hero mode and the blond said, "fallow me." Sailor Moon broke from the group in a run and charged the two monster-sized dogs.
"Is she crazy?" asked Mars as the blond Senshi leader jumped over the first dog. She landed on the second one's head, which was directly under the hatch opening. The dog growled loudly and in a deep angry tone as the two Senshi shrugged their shoulders. They quickly fallowed the Senshi leader by jumping on the dog's head and once they were clear, the black dog used as a trampoline barked and fallowed them. Antauri smirked and said "Cleaver. Now let's get this over with." The silver monkey took a deep breath and Chiro covered his ears with Debbie fallowing suit. Antauri let out a high-pitched screech sound, causing the first dog to whine pitifully and run towards the two humans. The monkey boy quickly powered up for an attack while the rebel girl slid to the right. The giant dog growled as it lunged for Chiro, who pulled back his arm.
"THUNDER PUNCH!" He called out as green electricity buzzed around his fist. He hit the monster dog in the gut, making it howl as it fell to the ground, back at the door. It growled as it stood back up and charged again. Chiro's fist started to glow green once more but Debbie stopped him with a hand. He nodded as the dog ran and her hands glowed white. A ribbon of energy shot from her hands and spiraled around the giant canine. It let out a howl as its body shrunk to that of a small black puppy. It ran closed in and ran up to the girl with magenta and silver hair, barking once and wagging it's tail. Debbie picked it up while Antauri said, "When did you learn to do that?"
"I don't know. It just came to me." She answered while the dog started to lick her face.
Meanwhile…
Sailors Moon, Mars and Chibi Moon lead the second dog into the open space between the shack cover and the broken down brick house. Sailor Mars formed multiple rings around her as she aimed at the grass around the crazy dog and shouted "MARS BURNING MANDALA!" the rings of fire hit the grass around the dog, causing them to burst into flame.
"Nice move Mars." Said Moon as the smell of burning grass filled the air. She high-fived the red Senshi while the dog barked and crouched down. It sprung from it's hind legs while Chibi Moon shouted "Look out!" it's belly just barely missed the flames while Mars was pushed away. The giant canine tackled Sailor Moon to the ground with a low growl. She tried to keep her face to the ground while the black dog attempted to bite it off. While Mars stood up, Chibi Moon came charging at the mass of black fur. She shoved her elbow into it's side forcing a yelp from it and thrusting it's enormous body to the ground. The pink Senshi took a couple of deep breaths while she tired to not fall onto the ground herself and Sailor Moon stood up.
"Thanks." Said the blond Senshi leader.
"No big." Chibi Moon replied, forming a want with a heart shaped handle. "Shall we?"
"Yes, lets." Agreed the Senshi leader. She formed a wand similar to the Senshi in training's and both aimed at the large dog while it started to stand back up.
"MOON HEALING MEDITATION!" they both called out as a kaleidoscope of colors shot from the wand's tips. The giant canine howled once more as it was drenched with the lights and it's body shrank until it was a small puppy. The pink haired Senshi picked it up and it licked her face as Debbie, Antauri, and Chiro walked out of the shack with a puppy of their own.
"Well, that didn't take long." Said Mars with a satisfied smile.
"What are we gonna do now?" Debbie asked nervously while she started to pet the puppy she held. "Burns knows where the hideout is now."
"And," said Antauri. "He has all of the other Senshi and Hyper Force members."
"Well," said Moon in a matter-of-fact voice. "it looks like we'll have to end this."
"Are you sure about this Debbie?" asked Chiro as she handed him a long bamboo pole. He gripped it in the middle and belt it slightly with ease as the rebel gave similar poles to the Senshi.
"Of course." She said, slinging her own bamboo pole across her shoulders. "Me and the other members of the rebellion have done this before. The minions don't go near the storage areas at all."
"Okay… if you're sure." The monkey boy added a sigh to the sentence as everyone exited the tree line that surrounded the alien's base. The entire high school building was inside a ring of the exotic forest where strange things like bamboo and wide leafed ferns grew, perfect cover for the few teens and a robot monkey. The group of heroes walked with one foot in the trees, the other on the grassy football field between the building and the trees, circling it. After a few moments, Debbie stopped them and pointed to the building. The wall they were looking at was solid pale baize brick with one lone window at the three-story mark. On the ground underneath the window was a series of small rocks placed perfectly for a pole to he shoved into and stick strait out for at least a few seconds.
"Okay," Debbie instructed. "As son as Antauri opens the window, we pole vault through it. The room should eh food storage for the prisoners and it should be clear to leave. Is everyone ready?" the rest of the group nodded, though Chibi Moons and Chiro's were shaky as they gripped their poles tighter. Antauri quickly covered the empty field on the fours and as soon as he reached the building, he clicked on the jetpack. The speed that he floated up to the window amazed everyone, especially Chiro while the silver monkey's hand went through the glass of the window. There was a soft click as the lock was moved and he slowly slid the window open, removing his hand at the same time. Chiro gripped the pole even tighter as the silver monkey flew inside and he started to sprint.
"Aim for the rocks!" Debbie shouted as he reached the halfway point. In one swift motion, he shoved the bamboo pole into the center of the rocks while continuing to run. His body was vaulted into the air for about two seconds before he disappeared into the window. The forgotten pole shook before it fell to the ground, out of the next runner's way. The girls all released a held breath before Sailor Moon started sprinting next. Sailor Mars fallowed her, then Chibi Moon and Debbie, each waiting for the stick to fall before starting. However, as the rebel was in the air, she saw an ominous blue low from inside and gasped as her feet went through. Debbie landed in a crouching position as she slip slightly and the others moved out of her way. The rebel looked around as she stood up and said "What the!" the room did not store food or supplies like she thought and have seen before. It stored bodies. Each person was in a single person cylinder tanks with a blue gelatinous liquid. And the walls were covered head to toe with the tanks. A large generator connected to each tank via thick tubes in the ceiling stood in the center of the median sized room. Chiro walked to the generator and moved to rest his hand on it, but Debbie shouted, "STOP!" He froze in his position, his hand hovering above the metal.
"What is all this?" asked Mars, trying to see into a tank. The liquid was so thick inside that the Senshi of fire could only see parts of the people inside, such as an arm, a leg or a mass of hair. Debbie ran her fingers through her bangs as she walked around the generator and said " They're extraction chambers. Damn!" The rebel girl sat on the floor and punched it, the concrete cracking slightly. Everyone jumped.
"They must have exchanged the food supply for these things." Said Mars, touching one with the palm of her hand. Antauri walked over to Debbie as she sat on the ground, looking down at her shoes and asked, "What do these extraction chambers do?"
"They," she started, standing up. "They suck all of the energy from your body. The aliens use it to power their machines. But they must be planning something big to be capturing so many people."
"Look!" Chibi Moon cried out, her face pressed against a cylinder. The heroes gathered around her to peer into the liquid. Near the top was a mass of chestnut brown hair with a ponytail that had two large beads to keep it in place. There was a slight shift of the body and they all saw a gold tiara with a green gem in the center.
"That's Jupiter!" moon cried out, shocked. Chiro examined the one next to the green Senshi and saw part of an orange skirt and blond hair. He took a step back as he said, "I think this is Sailor Venus!" Mars let out a gasp as she looked into the tank on Jupiter's other side, pointed and said, "Mercury's in here." Through the thick fluid, she could see sailor Mercury's signature blue hair as well as the sensei's whole face in pieces.
"We've got to get them out of there!" said Moon, pulling off her tiara. She aimed it at the Senshi of Jupiter's tank and said "Chibi Moon and Chiro. try something on Mercury's and Venus' tank."
"What about us?" Mars asked with a whine while she stood next to Debbie and Antauri.
"Your attacks would melt the glass and injure the scouts more than if we shatter them." The Senshi leader answered, closing one eye to aim her magical disk. The remaining three stood back and remained quiet while the two Senshi and the monkey boy powered up. Mars and Debbie were amazed at Moon's answer while Antauri couldn't stop himself from smiling. He felt proud that she was starting to use her brains to fight. If only she would use it study though…
"MOON TIARA MAGIC!" the Senshi leader called, throwing her disk dead center of the tube.
"PINK SUGAR HEART ATTACK!" Chibi Moon called out, her wand spewing out rings of pink energy in the shape of hearts at the glass. Chiro's fist and foot glowed green as she did this before he shouted, "THUNDER PUNCH! LIGHTING KICK!" the monkey boy punched the center of the glass, then kicked it in the same spot as he turned is body. The attacks hit the glass at the same time and there was a chorus of shatters. Debbie made a shield of white energy While Mars and Antauri went behind her and the three tubes shattered. Glass soared over their head while the gelatinous fluid spattered the walls and shield. As soon as it stopped, Debbie let the shield disperse and everyone ran to the tubes. The three Senshi were slouched against the bare walls of the inside of the tunes, their fuku's dripping blue. Moon grabbed Mercury's shoulders and shook her until the blue eyes of the Senshi opened. Mercury moaned as the Senshi leader said, "Sailor Mercury, are you okay?"
"I think so." The blue Senshi replied. "Where are we exactly?"
"You are in the base for aliens who are trying to take over this planet. You, Jupiter, and Venus were being used as batteries." Two more moans came from the orange and green Senshi before Jupiter said "oh, my head."
"I need some aspirin." Venus said, agreeing with her green suited friend.
"Does anyone know where the monkey team is?" asked Chiro, his eyes scanning all three of the previously captured sailor scouts.
"I remember Sprx and Otto being with us when those giant cookies captured us." Said Venus, rubbing her head as she crawled out of the broken tube. "But they were taken somewhere else after the leader of the alien told his followers to bring us here." "And soon you shall join them."
