Chapter 7: VF Circuit: Japan Stage, the Real Final Round

"Huh?" Kamui blinked, stopping before the portal gate.

"What..." even Misaki was puzzled.

"Is this?" Aichi gaped.

"Coach, please come back in." Takuto's aide led Shin off. "Please enjoy yourselves."

"Now," Takuto stepped on the portal with Ami. "Shall we talk a little before dinner?"

"Why are you here, Ami?" Misaki asked the other female.

"Everything will be explained, Misaki." Ami smiled. Activating the power of the Justice Star that donned the top of the thin silver staff she held, she teleported the group to Planet Cray.

"What is this?" Misaki gasped.

"What's going on here?" Kamui asked.

"This is an image." Aichi explained. "And that boy was Tatsunagi Takuto, the..."

"Welcome to Planet Cray." Takuto manifested himself alongside Ami.

"What are you talking about?" Kamui frowned. "Planet Cray isn't a real planet. I know, this is the newest attraction or whatever."

"No," Ami corrected, the skirt of her scoop-necked flowing dress was rippling by the force of her Cosmo. "Cray actually exists. What you're looking at is really happening on Cray. One day, this planet came under attack by a mysterious force. In the face of the powerful enemy, all the formerly squabbling clans of Cray banded together to fight back. Three of the clans became the core of the resistance: Royal Paladins, Shadow Paladins and Kagero. Truly, their efforts were spectacular. Just as the mysterious force was cornered and victory was close at hand, Blaster Blade, Blaster Dark and Dragonic Overlord, who fought in the forefront, were captured by the enemy while trying to protect me. Robbed of their leaders, the three clans fell into chaos and lost their strength. Naturally, I didn't escape that battle unscathed, either." her right hand gripped her left arm which was wrapped by a long sash of cloth, which also doubled as a shawl, that shielded the festering darkness wound that had since spread from sight. "The effect had even spread to Earth, resulting in the decks of their three clans vanishing."

"Then..." Misaki turned to Aichi.

"The 'Royal Paladin' that you were talking about, onii-san..." Kamui trailed.

"With my power sealed, the disorganized clans had no idea what to do when the enemy stepped up the attack." Ami continued. "Right now, Cray, the planet I am Queen of, is on the brink of destruction."

"We need strength." Takuto took over, teleporting them back to the portal. "Our powerful enemy even sealed away Royal Paladin. We need a strong power of our own to to beat them."

"Will you be able to save them if you have that kind of power?" Aichi asked. "Can you save Royal Paladin? And my avatar, Blaster Blade?"

"We can, if we have leaders with a strong power: one that is powerful enough to unite all the clans, to force the mysterious power to retreat." Ami replied.

"I held the VF Circuit in order to choose people with that power." Takuto explained. "Singapore, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Japan: the winning fighters of these four circuits are the saviors of Cray, our new leaders."

"Everyone." Aichi gawked as the other three doors slid open to admit the other teams.

"Now, everyone." Takuto declared. "On this stage, we shall open the door to Cray."

"The path is finally open." Harmonia droned, the pyramid-shaped building opened up its top.

"Leaders, come!" Takuto announced, the power of the Justice Star Staff activating the portal.

"Where are we?" Aichi wondered, the extended group was teleported to the space between Earth and Cray.

"Sendou Aichi," Takuto appeared in front of Q4. "And your team Q4, as a leader, if you would fight alongside us to try and save Cray, please proceed. Head for the real final stage that waits for you ahead. Now, follow Harmonia-sama's light and head towards her side."

"I see Ami!" Kamui pointed, spotting the rainbow-colored light shining in the distance, the team was later met up by the others.

"Not so fast." Leon declared, unleashing a powerful gust of wind. "Here's where you turn back."

"What are you doing?" Takuto questioned, manifesting before Team Dreadnought.

"It's simple." Leon replied. "You people aren't the leaders Cray need. That person is me alone, Leon Souryu."

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
