A strong energy field formed high above the stage. A form of a person took place.
"Maru- San!" Take shouted. Maru looked at Take.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
Take nodded.
"Take!" Sailor Moon shouted. She and the Sailor Senshi took a fighting stance as the energy ball above disappeared.
In its place stood (or rather floated) a man that looked a lot like Maru, but his hair was a jet black and his eyes were a deep red. His long dark red cape flapped gently in the breeze, while the rest of his robes stood still (think of Helios's clothes). He gazed over at Take.
Take got up.
"Earth Terrain…."
Before she was able to transform, roots shot up from the ground and bound her into place. The man floated down. He took a strong grip on Take's chin.
"You still look the same… just as you did in the Silver Millennium…" he said.
What the hell is he talking about!? Take thought to herself, as she struggled to get out of his grip.
"Leave her alone!"
The man turned around and faced the Sailor Senshi.
"I should have known that you all would also be revived by Queen Serenity. But that will all change this time…" he said coldly.
"Who is that?" Sailor Mars asked Sailor Libra.
"It… it can't be…" Sailor Leo gasped.
"Huh?" Chibi Moon said.
"He is the one that created Chaos, and then sent it to create the Dark Kingdom back in the Silver Millennium… Cronus…" Sailor Elysion said.
"You haven't changed at all, Asteria…" Cronus said to Sailor Elysion. He looked over at Maru, his eyes full of hatred.
"He still hasn't recovered all his memories yet? That's pathetic. You would think that after seeing her again, he would remember."
"That's enough!" Sailor Aquarius shouted.
"Aquarius Starlight Tsunami!"
Cronus created a barrier around himself and sent Aquarius's attack flying back at her.
"Aquarius!" Sailor Moon screamed.
"That's it!" Mars shouted.
"Mars Flame…"
Mars was hit in the back by Sapphire's staff.
"Don't think it's going to be that east, Sailor Brats…" Sapphire said, taking a fighting stance in front of her lord.
"It's going to take a lot more than that to defeat us this time…" Opal added, attacking the Sailor Quartet.
"Amazoness Arrow!"
"Ruby Gem Scatter!
Thousands of jewel shards rose up from the ground as soon as Ruby's whip made contact with the earth.
"Elysion Dream Activation!" Sailor Elysion shouted.
Her attack protected Sailor Mars and the Zodiac from being
"Cosmos Star Reaction!"
Sailor Moon's attack destroyed the upcoming youkai that was sent by Sapphire to kill her, Chibi Moon, and Tuxedo Kamen.
Take struggled to get out of the roots grasp. She had to help them. Butt the more she struggled, the tighter the roots got. They were soon starting to choke her. Maru tried to pry the roots from her neck, but was zapped back by the energy flow inside of the roots. Take screamed in pain as the energy shocked her, leaving her unconscious.
"Take- Chan!" Aquarius shouted, trying to get to her friend.
"You have to go through me, Aquarius…" Emerald said, blocking Aquarius's way.
"Fine…"
The two fought.
Cronus made his way closer to Sailor Moon, who was still fighting off youkai.
"Pink Lady Freezing Kiss!"
The sailor quartet and Chibi Moon's attack cleared the way, but Ruby wouldn't let up.
"Sailor Moon! Look out!" Sailor Elysion shouted.
Sailor Moon turned just in time to see Cronus throwing black crystal shards her way.
Maru suddenly disappeared in a white light, blinding those who were nearby.
When the light faded, a silver Pegasus with a silver horn stood protectively between Sailor Moon and Take and Cronus.
"At least you still remember what you are…" Cronus said coolly, the red stone on his forehead glowing. A red light formed around him. Then he disappeared, revealing a black Pegasus with bat like wings instead of angelic wings.
St the sight of them, Chibi Moon had an idea. She wasn't sure if it would work. It's been years since she last did it, but it was worth a shot. They needed all the help they could get. The same thought was going through the Sailor Quartet's heads.
"Princess! Do your thing! We'll keep her busy!" Ceres said, as she and the others continued to fight Sapphire.
"Pegasus, please... protect everyone's dreams!" Chibi Moon said, folding her hands and going down on her knees. A familiar object formed in between her hands. She happily grasped the handle of the small bell.
"Twinkle Yell!"
A shining light appeared in the sky. Helios, in his Pegasus form appeared before the Sailor Senshi. A multicolored light surrounded Sailor Elysion, as she transformed into a Pegasus as well, only she had a rainbow crystal horn. The three white pegasuses teamed up against the black Pegasus and the horses started an air borne fight.
Sailor Moon, meanwhile, was trying to set Take free from the vines. Ruby's whip caught her before she reached Take. Ruby sent energy waved thru the thick rope, zapping Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon screamed.
"Nice try princess…" Ruby sneered. Emerald appeared behind her, ready to strike Sailor Moon down with her sword.
"Sailor Moon!" Sailor Mars and Sailor Libra shouted.
They and the other Zodiac tried to come to Sailor Moon's aid, but were blocked by Sapphire.
Tuxedo Kamen, Chibi Moon, and the Sailor Quartet likewise, but Opal placed a barrier up, shocking the group away.
Take slowly opened her eyes. They were blank and expressionless, but a blue symbol appeared on her forehead. The Pegasuses in the air stopped what they were doing and looked on to the bound girl. A bright Golden light shined off of her, blasting Emerald and Ruby away from Sailor Moon, as well as destroying Opal's barrier.
"It is the Earth Princess…." Opal said to herself.
The Black Pegasus disappeared from the sky. The Silver Pegasus flew towards Take, who went back to being unconscious, but was pushed back by an energy field.
Cronus was back into his humanoid form, with Take in his arms. The Gem Guardians were standing behind him.
"Our business for today… is finished. But the battle…" Cronus turned his deep red eyes towards Sailor Moon. "...is far from over…"
The group slowly disappeared.
"Take- Chan!!!" Sailor Moon screamed.
But they were gone.
