The scenes in italics is what happened previously so that just what happened after each first fight from previous chapter. I did a sort fast-forward and had those scenes as flashback because I wanted this all fast paced. It might be a bit hard t follow so I suggest just quickly go back and read the last four fight scenes to refresh your memory with the flashbacks.
Okay I have no volunteer to proof edit my story but that all right. If you're interested go back to chapter 7 and read the author's note chapter as well. Not bothering to repeat it.
Enjoy.
Chibi Outers
Chapter 9: Rescue and discovery
Uranus clutched her bleeding side as she rested against a wall. Banging was heard from the other side from the youma and she knew she had to finish it. She couldn't leave the job undone.
"Uranus-mama, are you all right?" asked Chibi-Uranus as her eyes swelled up.
Uranus glanced back at her clone and gave her a reassuring smile "It'll be fine Chibi-Uranus," She gazed down at her bleeding side remembering what just happened.
"Shimatta," Before Uranus could act the other clown's arm transformed into a silver blade and charged at her. The blade pierced her side and Uranus stifled her scream as her vision became blurry. A child's scream was heard not too far away in the hallway.
All that Uranus could see was the youma going back and a yellow energy hitting the clown. She then saw Chibi-Uranus walking to her clutching her side that was also bleeding.
"Shimatta," Uranus kneeled down as she placed her hands on Chibi-Uranus wound "How did this happen?"
"I don't know. I was running down to help you and all of a sudden I started bleeding," cried Chibi-Uranus.
"PEE-LIN," shouted the youma as it came advancing at them.
Uranus grabbed her space sword and turned backwards blasting the hallway doors open up. She grabbed Chibi-Uranus and ran inside before it closed.
Uranus eyes stared at Chibi-Uranus's wound "It'll be alright, don't worry," She tore off the bow of the back of Chibi-Uranus's fuku and pressed it against her wound "Just hold it there and we'll get it fixed when its over, ok?"
Chibi-Uranus nodded and pressed tightly against her wound as her tears slipped down her cheeks.
Uranus tore her own bow from the back of her fuku and pressed it against her own wound. She wasn't exactly sure she could finish this youma off so she called each of the senshi for back up. Saturn was the only one who managed to finish off her youma and could help.
"I'll come as soon as possible Uranus, no need to worry. Just stay safe,"
"Arigato,"
--
Saturn smiled back at her clone who stared back at her with a grin "Arigato for that Chibi-Saturn. Thank you for saving me,"
"No problem Saturn-mama,"
Saturn's communicator beeped and in came Uranus "What is it Uranus?"
"Chibi-Uranus and I are injured and we need backup. Can you come? The other Senshi are still in battle,"
"I'll come as soon as possible Uranus, no need to worry. Just stay safe,"
"Arigato,"
With that she clicked off her communicator and glanced back at the youma that just disappeared.
Saturn dropped to the floor as the youma swooped down at her. She heard metal swinging and a bat like screech. Saturn slowly stood up and turned around just in time to see Chibi-Saturn wave her Glaive around with blood dripping off the edges. Chibi-Saturn just managed to nick the bat youma's wing and was trying to fly again but failed."Come on Chibi-Saturn. Uranus and Chibi-Uranus need our help,"
She glanced back at Chibi-Saturn who nodded and they both advanced at it from different sides. Chibi-Saturn made the first move trapping it down on the ground. Saturn swung her Glaive high in air before executing the youma right in the chest. The youma wailed for a few minutes before it's body became lifeless and it started decomposing.
"Hai,"
The floor started creaking before the rotting wood started breaking. Saturn's eyes widened as she grabbed Chibi-Saturn and made a run for it down the stairs with the wood underneath their feet breaking.
Once they were downstairs they ran out just in time before the whole gift shop collapsed in one big heap of broken wood and the gifts inside.
--
Uranus's hands cradled Chibi-Uranus's head to her stomach as the banging grew louder and louder. Chibi-Uranus wrapped her arms around Uranus and squeezed her eyes shut trying not to cry. Uranus could faintly hear her clone's sobs and held her closer and tighter. Her space sword tightly held in one hand away from Chibi-Uranus's face ready to strike at the youma if it got through. So far the wall was holding up and the fabric against her wound was sticking to it like glue. She wasn't sure how much blood she lost but she knew she was fine because she could still see, didn't feel nauseous or weak. All she felt was pain throbbing in her side disadvantaging her in battle as well as her clone.
A blade came through the door just missing her head by mere centimeters. She backed away from the doors and faced it waiting for the youma to appear. She made sure Chibi-Uranus was behind her and raised her own weapon in action.
The youma broke through the doors with the cold and eerie look in its eyes. Uranus glared back coldly in her enemy's eyes. "SPACE SWORD! BLASTER!" Uranus brought down her sword and the golden whip once again emerged from its point. The whip strikes at the youma cutting off its arm from the shoulder. She repeated this action with other arm. The arms re-grew just as she was about to use her WOLRD SHAKING to finish off the youma.
The youma raised its fist at them and knocked back the wind senshi and her clone telekinetically before Uranus had a chance to throw her attack. It raised its bloody blade to strike back at them but something struck through its chest and pulled out. It turned around to see Saturn pulling back her bloody glaive.
During this distraction Uranus stood back up with Chibi-Uranus "Minna, attack," she called out as she started her attack and other senshi followed.
"WORLD SHAKING,"
"CHIBI-WORLD SHAKING,"
Both Saturn and Chibi-Saturn raised their glaives in sync before striking it back down at the youma's chest.
The youma howled in pain before disintegrating into dust. The dust then disappeared into nothingness.
"Uranus,"
Saturn dashed over to Uranus side taking away the bloody fabric and placing her own hands against the wound. Chibi-Saturn did the same with Chibi-Uranus and both of the senshi healed their partners.
"Arigato Saturn,"
"Arigato Chibi-Saturn,"
The two-destruction senshi smiled back at them "No worries,"
"Okay, Saturn and Chibi-Saturn, head to Pluto and Chibi-Pluto to assist them in battle. I'm assuming Chibi-Pluto is by her side. Chibi-Uranus and I will head towards to dock to help Neptune and Chibi-Neptune,"
They both nodded their heads before taking off.

"Dead Scream," the pink energy ball rushed at the youma but unfortunately the youma managed to dodge this attack. Pluto and Chibi-Pluto were trying to hit the youma at different times and different angles but both were unsuccessful.
Pluto felt the blood oozing from her neck wound down her skin. She pressed the fabric she ripped off from her bow back onto her neck slowing down the bleeding.
Pluto began using her hands trying to push off the youma. Its teeth already at her neck and soon it pierced her soft skin. Pluto bit her bottom lip as she struggled from crying out in pain. She stopped trying to push the youma off and reached for her time staff that lay not too far from her. Her fingertips just brushing the metal as she tried to wrap her fingers around the staff.
Then, all of a sudden a pink energy ball knocked the youma off her and it rolled back hitting the stand making it tremble a little. Pluto grabbed her staff and rolled to hit it but the youma just kicked her stomach and jumped away from her.As the youma dropped down back on the ground a metal glaive came down embedding itself in the youma's shoulder. The youma howled in pain and even louder when Saturn removed her glaive from its wound.
Pluto quickly jumped back on the balls of her feet and tore off the back of her bow and pressed the material onto her neck wound. She saw Chibi-Pluto doing the same thing. They both raised their staff and tried to attack the jumping youma.
Pluto and Chibi-Pluto used this time to call up their attacks and aiming at the howling youma. Saturn and Chibi-Saturn raised their glaives and attacked the youma with their sharp blades.
A purple and pink light emerged from the youma before it exploded and disappeared into the air. Pluto and Chibi-Pluto panted as their hands went back to their aching wounds.
Saturn and Chibi-Saturn made a run towards them healing their sore and bleeding neck wounds.

Neptune grounded her stone ooze covered hand with the rocks trying to release her fist as Chibi-Neptune continued her 'Chibi Deep Submerge' attacks at the youma. Neptune grabbed her mirror and tried 'Submarine Reflection' on her fist but no such luck. She turned her head to see Chibi-Neptune fall to the ground after the youma swung its fist at her just missing her face by inches.
Neptune grabbed her Deep Mirror and yelled out 'Submarine Reflection' and aimed her attack at the youma.
"Shimatta," Just then, the youma launched itself at her pushing her down onto the ground hard. Her head throbbed in pain as she just could see the youma raise its fist and collided it to her stomach. Neptune gasped before she raised her own fist to strike back at the youma.
The youma rolled off her as she struck at it and was knocked down by an aquamarine energy ball. It lay there on the ground groaning and slowly standing up.
Neptune glanced to her right to see Chibi-Neptune attacking the youma again with her Chibi attacks. During this time she rolled over to see a small pile of rocks not too far away.The white spray coated the youma before its skin started slowly freezing. She quickly tried smashing her fist a few more times on the jagged rocks beside her trying to free her fist but still no such luck.
She glanced back at youma that was struggling to move while whining and grunting as it started to slowly pacing towards her. Before it could take another step a golden blade pierced through its torso and the youma disintegrated and disappeared into the ground beneath them.
Through the debris she could make out Sailor Uranus. As the dust cleared away her eyes widened at she saw the side of her fuku blood stained "Haruka," She ran to her side placing her free hand on the dried bloodstain.
"Huh," Haruka glanced remembering her bloodstained and quickly brought Neptune up to her chest.
"I'm fine. Saturn healed my wound. Listen, we need to find Pluto and Saturn and head home as quickly as possible,"
Neptune stared at her before slowly nodding. But before they left she showed Uranus her stone ooze covered fist and Uranus easily cut through it releasing her cramped hand.

Haruka glanced at the glowing light of the microwave flashing 3:30. She sighed as she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. She couldn't sleep. No one could sleep apart from the clones. Not after what happened tonight.
"The connections are already made," stated Setsuna trying to keep her eyes open.
"Sorry, half asleep here. Can you repeat everything you just said?" asked Haruka stifling back a yawn. Oh what she gives to be in a nice warm bed with Michiru right now even if she couldn't sleep.
"The clones were made to kill us. The enemy is smart and knows how difficult it is to get rid of us. He created clones, sent them here to start the telepathic connections or bonds between the clones and us and now he's sending youma's to kill the clones,"
"Because if they die, we die and vice versa,"
"Hai,"
Haruka rubbed her face again and slumped against the counter. An arm encircled her waist and pulled her closer.
"Looks like its best for all of us to grab as much sleep as possible. We can't fight half asleep,"
After nodding their heads tiredly everyone returned to their beds to catch up on some needed sleep.
Haruka made her way to the couch but someone pulled on her wrist "You're worn out and sore. Its best for you to come to bed,"
Usually Haruka would make a comment or tease her but she was exhausted and aching so all she did was nod before following Michiru upstairs to their bed.
