Hey! Hey! Hey!

I know it's been a long while since I've made an update, I'm sorry. I have some things to catch up with. But the good news it that I'm still alive!!!!!!!! he he he he. School has been a huge drag!

I know I said that I was going to break up the fighting scenes, but I decided on something else. he he.

Let me know what you think! 3

"In all fairness, I did warn you" Bertie gave Mercury a sad smile. Mercury lifted her head, cranking her neck painfully to glare at the woman before her.

"Just you wait. You'll get what's coming to you……just…you…w…wait"

Bertie lifted her hand to her face, placing her hand over her forehead. "Those are such cute words, darling. Do you want them engraved on your tombstone?". She let out a haughty laugh before briskly stepping out of the small room.

"No", Mercury lifted her head, staring straight at the door. "I'll engrave it on yours".

An overwhelming sense of pain and anguish and fallen over the rest of the warriors. How were they supposed to cope with the loss of one of them? A very vital part of the team was now missing.

The heart of the team had been missing for some time; now it was the brains behind it all.

Bad guys: 2.……Good guys: 0.……..

It was all wrong. The good guys always win!!! Don't they?

Where was that miracle? That defining moment during a battle, where everything would go from wrong to right. Where the skies would part, taking all the darkness, gifting them nothing but sunshine.

Sure; in other battles they had faced unbelievable odds but this just seemed….different.

….Hopeless.

They all knew that this wasn't the worse to come. There would be more. Oh yes. Much more. All they could do was brace themselves, and hope that they are strong enough to stand up to such evil.

Jupiter let out a howl in anger. How the hell could this be happening?

Bastards!!! They have Usa, and Ami…I have to stop this! I wont let anyone else be taken!

"NOOOO! I'VE HAD IT!!!" Jupiter clenched her fist tightly. She looked around her trying to spot her opponent. Off into the distance, Prisma smiled and Catzi gently bowed her head.

It's now………

Jupiter bit her lip and glanced to her right, straight at Mars. She gave Mars a small smile and nudged her head pointing out Catzi. Mars looked over, and understood.

"NOW!!!" Jupiter charged. Mars followed right behind her with her hands right in front of her.

"SUPREME THUNDER!!!"

"BURNING MANDALA!!"

Both unleashed their attacks straight at Prisma and Catzi, neither stopped running. Prisma waved her arm in front of her, and easily deflected Jupiters' attack. Catzi, however, wasn't as lucky. Mars' attack hit her full force and sent her flying, landing painfully with a thud.

Jupiter turned back around to face Prisma, only to find her gone. She turned her attention to Mars and Catzi.

Mars raced towards Jupiter and jumped up with grace, Jupiter spread her arm out and propelled Mars up into the air straight towards Catzi. Mars flipped around in mid-air, "BURNING MANDALA!"

It hit dead on. Catzi laid on the ground, completely motionless.

Mars raced over to Jupiter and gave her a large smile. 'Things are finally turning around! We can do this' Jupiter thought, smiling back at Mars.

"Don't start celebrating yet guys! We still have more to do!" Venus yelled at them.

Venus was being painfully detained by Avery. Avery's hold on Venus tightened with every word spoken.

"Keep this up darling and I'll end up splitting you in half" Avery placed a kiss on Venus' forehead.

Venus forcefully pulled her head away from Avery and emitted an orange beam of light from her hands, burning Avery. "I would love to see you try!"

Venus crossed her arms in front of her, "VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN!". The golden chain flew out and snared a shrieking Avery.

"Ladies! If you want to help, now would be a good time!!!!" Venus hinted towards Mars and Jupiter. Venus swung the chain above her head and released Avery into the air, Jupiter quickly ran and let out her attack "SUPREME THUNDER!"

Avery landed on her back, and nothing else came out of her.

Two down.

Jupiter looked around. 'This is going really well. It'll be over before we know it. We're almost there Usa…Ami…hold on'

Off to the distance, Uranus and Neptune stepped away from a broken Bertie, who reappeared shortly after Catzi had been taken down.

Three down.

Bertie laid beaten and broken to their left, Avery to their right, and Catzi to their south.

Uranus and Neptune joined up with Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. Before they knew it, Tuxedo Mask slammed into them, along with an exhausted Pluto and Saturn.

"Are you guys alright?!" Venus rushed over to Tuxedo Mask and gave him a hand. He stood up slowly with his hand on his bleeding stomach.

"I'm fine. These guys are no joke" Tuxedo Mask looked around for Rubius, that guy just disappeared. 'Where did you run off to?'

"The girls weren't that tough. We took care of them" Jupiter stated proudly. She lifted Pluto up and gave her a reassuring pat.

"Well speak for yourself. She isn't that easy!" Saturn pointed directly towards Prisma. "Neither me nor Pluto could get a solid hit on her. She deflected EVERYTHING!".

Mars frowned. 'Both Pluto and Saturn failed to hit her? They're the strongest apart from Sailor Moon…how could they not hit her?……maybe they didn't try hard enough…yeah…that's it. We defeated those girls, no problem. That's not possible…………'

"Shall we end this?!" Jupiter suggested.

Uranus smirked. "I thought you'd never ask"

"VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN"

"SUPREME THUNDER"

"WORLD SHAKING"

"DEEP SUBMERGE"

"DEADLY SCREAM"

"SILENCE GLAIVE"

All attacks shot out at once, forming into one solid white attack. Tuxedo Mask shielded his eyes from the intense bright light it gave off. "It's her light. Usagi. She's with us!"

Mars looked on at Prisma. Prisma started to laugh hysterically and opened up her arms, as to receive the attacks with such pleasure. 'Something isn't right. She wants us to attack!!!"

"Stop!!!!! Don't send out those attacks!! Call them back!!!!" Mars cried out.

It was too late. The attacks hit Prisma dead on and there was a huge explosion. Everyone waited with anticipation for the dust to clear to see a defeated Prisma laying on the ground.

'Please don't let it be what I think it is' Mars thought.

"You children are pathetic!" the dust settled, and from it, Prisma walked calmly towards them.

Jupiter snarled, clenching her fist. Jupiter tried to attack again but before she could finish her attack, Mars ran up to her and placed her gloved hand on Jupiters shoulder.

Jupiter looked at Mars frantically, "What are you doing?!"

"Take a look at Prisma for a sec before you finish that attack!" Jupiter turned her gaze away from Mars, and straight at Prisma.

Prisma just stood there with a wide grin on her face, her arms delicately folded in front of her, waiting for an attack. For a moment, time froze for Jupiter. What was Mars talking about? Everything seemed fine. She's just wasting time and prevent them from getting their girls out of that castle!

Wait.

Prisma seemed too eager to receive that attack. She wasn't even in a fighting stance as she once was during the beginning of the battle. She was opening her arms slightly, in a very submissive and suspicious manner. She was waiting. She wasn't trying to attack them, she wanted them to attack her. That's why Mars wanted to call off their attacks!

"She wants to be attacked" Jupiter whispered to herself. "Don't attack her! It's what she wants!"

"It's too late for that, now isn't it!" Uranus let out.

"We already gave her everything we had … and our attacks did nothing!" said Venus.

"Like I stated before…you children are completely pathetic!" Prisma spat. She raised her hand, and snapped her fingers. Slowly, to their left, right, south, the girls they defeated slowly rose to their feet.

"Honestly. To think that your little attacks could hurt us!" Catzi stated. She stood up and dusted herself off from the ground.

"You shouldn't have let it gone to your heads" Avery smiled, lifting herself in a similar fashion.

"It's cute how you thought that you defeated us. Wow. Someone stays on the ground because they're too lazy to stand and that automatically means your dead. I didn't know that!" Bertie teased.

The scouts just stood there, too stunned to do anything. All this time, and they were being played with.

They were completely surrounded, and it was their own fault. They didn't even realize what they were doing in a desperate and foolish attempt to get Usagi out of there.

It had all seemed too easy, but no one questioned it.

Foolishness.

"Maybe you should have watched what you were all doing" a masculine voice was heard from above them.

"Why Rubius, what a pleasure that you could join us!" Prisma squealed with delight.

"You know I wouldn't miss a good roast. Ready ladies. Time to end this!"

'No! how could we let this happen!!!! How could we be so stupid! Usako….'

Prisma smiled, "You know…that nice little attack you so willingly gave me was just enough power to help out my girls here. Through me, you gave them a…how shall I put this? Ah yes…you gave them a power boost, so to speak. So, we're defeating you with your own powers!"

"Gotta love it!" Catzi added.

"Prisma" Rubius started, "Catzi, Avery, Bertie! Now!!"

We're surrounded! From all corners…even from above…how could we let this happen…how could we be so stupid…It's all our fault…

"Yon" Catzi started. She waved her hand in front of her and emitted red light from her hands.

"San" Bertie hands' glowed blue. She smiled sadly at the scouts. Now you will join your friend…

"Ni" Avery finished looking at herself through her small compact, and waved her arm with ease, causing a yellow light to come out.

"Ichi" Prisma started to laugh hysterically. This is all for you, my love. She extended one hand out, and a green orb formed above her palm.

"Saturn! Do Something! Put up your shield!!!!!" Tuxedo Mask urgently demanded.

The poor girl looked down. "It's no good. I can only block one side…I can't block all of us. It's no use..!" Her grip on her glaive tightened. If I block his, would it do any good??

"Is this it?" Venus looked around her. Have we given up? Have we found no other way?

Pluto gripped her staff, leaning on it for support. This is how it must be…This is how it must be…

Uranus gripped Neptune tightly, and between them Saturn stood motionless. Koneko…We will get you out of there…it wont end here…

Mars and Jupiter stand by each other. If we attack…it could still do something for us…or it could just add more power to them…Jupiter snarled.

"Zero" Rubius shot his hands down, straight at the scouts and an orange orb formed. Within a second all of their orbs grew, and with a piercing scream they let out their attack. The scouts seemed to be frozen in time. They were being attacked from north, south, east. west, and directly above them.

Saturn broke free from Uranus and pointed her glaive foreword, "SILENT WALL!!" She directs her defense towards Rubius. I hope this works!!!!

Uranus and Neptune both react to Saturn, they both turn to different direction and call out their attacks. Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Pluto were soon to follow. They send their attacks in different directions just as the enemy sent theirs towards the scouts.

Tuxedo Mask stood right in the middle of the scouts…He extended his hand out and called forth the Golden Crystal, but before it could fully materialize, all attacks had collided and a huge explosion sent the scouts and Tuxedo Mask flying off into mid-air.

They each landed painfully, broken, and beaten, not too far from each other.

Venus painfully looked around her and saw nothing. She smiled slightly with hope in her eyes. "I think we did it guys…I think we di-"

"No you didn't darling!" Prisma interrupted.

Venus let out a gasp. Nothing happened. They were fine. No scraps…no bruises…no blood…they were still in perfect condition. How…can that be?

"See to it that they are taken in! You know what to do girls…" with that, Prisma quickly vanished.

Usako…forgive us.

Bad guys: 10.….. Good guys: 0
