Modern Sailor Scouts
Chapter 6:
Falling Foe
A/N: Sorry for the long delay, but I've been busy, anyway, I have decided to post up 5 chapters to make up for it after this one, so just wait for those. It will be this one today and 5 more another time.
Also, I had an idea for this chapter but then I lose it DX But after talking about it with my friend, we were able to come up with an idea but what really gave it to me was a chapter of Codename: Sailor V manga. I also was listening to some of my epic trailer music which just so happened to make me write more XD I hope you enjoy this and continue reading.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon but I do own pretty much everything in this story XD ENJOY!
Harasu sat in a chair in a dim space. He seemed to be floating in the chair as he thought with his eyes closed.
"Failure is a bad way to go" said a more gentleman like voice.
Harasu growled, "What do you want, Raion?"
A man with golden blonde hair that was tied back into a braid smiled as he stepped out of the shadows. His eyes glowed a bright green but flashed a deep red, "Nothing really, just sending a message. The Prince is growing impatient and is not please with all the failures you have been presenting"
Harasu glared at him, "That is why I must think of a new plan, a new way to find the crystal and to stop those meddling Sailor Scouts"
"They're only two girls in miniskirts, how hard can they be?" Raion suggested.
"They're more than they look. The most troublesome is that Sailor Moon"
"Here's an idea, I'll help with you with the plan and we can finally get rid of these Scouts"
Harasu thought about it, "They might not be able to handle against two warriors of the Dark Moon, it might work. Let's go" he stood up.
Raion smirked, "Lead the way" he told Harasu, following behind him, 'Now I can see for myself how these girls fare. Be careful, Harasu, your time is running out"
Cassie sat in her lesson, staring out the window. She was listening to the teacher for she couldn't pay attention long enough. The teacher was talking about the force of gravity and how the earth's core is the source of that pull that keeps us on the planet but Cassie only heard bits a pieces. She sighed as she looked into the sky, this Sailor Moon business was really tiring her out she couldn't concentrate at school at all. She began to wonder what life would be like if she had never became Sailor Moon.
Heidi glanced over at Cassie, feeling sorry and getting worried. She noticed that Cassie hadn't really been doing so well in school recently even since they met. She knew Cassie as one of the brightest kids in her year before she became Sailor Mercury. She began to start feeling the stress of being a normal teenage student and also the powerful Scout guarded by the planet Mercury. She began to wonder how Cassie felt, having been a Scout longer than her but also the leader of the Scouts, it must be stressful. She knew something had to be done.
After the bell rang for the end of school for that day, Cassie walked slowly down the road home. Heidi ran up next to her, hoping to cheer her up, "Hey, Cassie?"
"Hm?" Cassie grunted.
Heidi frowned, that wasn't much of a response, "Have you even gone to a concert?"
Cassie looked up with a questionable look on her face, "What?"
Heidi felt a hint of hope at getting her firend to respond, "I asked if you've ever gone to a concert before?"
Cassie shook, "Sorry to say, but I haven't. Never really had the time to"
Heidi smiled, "Well, I have two tickets to the new band in town and I wondered if you would like to come with me?"
"Sure, I don't see why not. When is it?"
"Tomorrow, at 6 pm"
Cassie thought for a minute, it was the weekend, she had no homework due and Aries hadn't said she had any plans. It was a free day, literally. "I see no helping it, I'll go"
"Great, I'll see you tomorrow at 11?"
"Sure"
"Okay, see ya" Heidi called as she went down her street.
"Right!" Cassie called after her as she went the other way.
Cassie walked into her house, closing the door behind her, "I'm home!" she called.
"Hey, sweetie" called her mother from the kitchen, "Hungry?"
Cassie shook her head, "Not really, call me when dinner's ready" she pulled her shoes off, "I'll be in my room" she walked up the stairs and into her room.
She set her bag down on her desk and fell onto her bed.
Aries, who happened to be sleeping on the pillow, heard her thud. She stretched and sat up, glancing over at Cassie.
Cassie looked over at her, "I'm busy tomorrow" she said suddenly.
Aries stared at her, she had planned to have Cassie and Heidi to look for the silver crystal 'What could be so much more important?' she thought, "What's up?" she asked calmly.
"I'm going to a concert with Heidi" Cassie said as she sat up.
"You don't have time to fool around at concerts. You have your duty as Sailor Moon" Aries scolded her.
"Yeah, well, I have my life too. I can't only be Sailor Moon. I'm Cassie Shade, High School Student, not some magical super powered hero that saves the world from evil" Cassie countered.
"But you are!"
"I know!" Cassie shouted, hiding her face in her hands, "But I'm Cassie too, and I need to live my life, not just Sailor Moon's"
Aries was taken aback by Cassie's shout, nodding, "I understand. This Sailor Moon business is putting a lot of pressure on you that I've never noticed before. I think it's about time that you take a small break and have some fun" Aries smiled.
Cassie sighed and smiled too, "Thanks, Aries"
"But be sure to bring that scanner phone, it might help when you're gone" Aries told her.
"Okay, I'll bring it"
"And don't forget your brooch, anything could happen"
"I know, don't worry, I had planned to bring that. I never go anywhere without it" Cassie reasoned.
"Good" Aries jumped onto the window sill, "Have fun"
"Where are you going?" Cassie asked, kinda glaring at her.
"I need to get some new information. So I'll be gone for a while. Enjoy yourself and relax" Aries explained and then jumped out the window, running down the street.
"Information? What does she need new information for?" Cassie asked herself but ignored it. She changed into some normal clothes and headed down stairs for dinner.
The next day, Heidi came over at around noon to go shopping for some concert clothes at the mall. Heidi always bought a new outfit before going to a new concert, made her feel refreshed for the upcoming music. So Cassie threw on some matching clothes and left with some of her allowance savings. She didn't buy a lot of stuff so she always had enough money on hand.
The two girls walked into the mall, looking through many stores but couldn't find anything good.
The two girls bumped into some people, falling over for they were looking from window to window, not paying attention to what was in front of them.
"Oh, sorry" Heidi said.
"Yeah, that was out fault" Cassie chuckled.
The two looked up to see two good-looking guys. The raven haired one just scoffed, he had really cold blue eyes that gave Cassie a sudden chill, "Maybe you should pay attention" he growled.
"Now, now, Ken, be nice" the blonde said, his hair seemed to shine like gold and had brilliant green eyes.
Cassie stared at him as he held his hand out for hers.
"Let me help you ladies up" he said with a smiled.
Cassie took his hand and he pulled her up. After she was on her feet again, he helped Heidi up as well.
"Hiro, you're way too nice to women" Ken groaned.
Hiro shrugged, "Sometimes being nice has its advantages" he turned the two girls, "Don't mind Ken, he's in a cranky mood today. He just got dumped"
"I did not!" Ken growled angrily and turned his back to them.
"Come now, I'm only teasing you" Hiro exclaimed.
Ken scoffed and looked away.
Hiro sighed, "What a rough mood" he smiled to the girls, "Ladies, how bout as an apology, we take you to that new concert"
Heidi thought about it, "Well, guess it's alright"
Cassie grabbed Heidi's arms, "Just give a bit" she pulled Heidi around the corner to the restrooms.
"What's up, Cass?" Heidi asked as she straightened her shirt.
"I'm getting a bad vide from that Ken dude, something just doesn't feel right. I feel like I've seen him before" Cassie told her.
"You felt it too? He seems so familiar but I can't point where I've seen him"
"I think we should be careful, these guys might mean trouble, cause of who we are" Cassie suggested.
Hiro punched Ken on the shoulder, "Harasu, must you be so gloomy and cold? You're giving me chills just by looking at you, chill out, relax. We'll find the Scouts"
He glared at Hiro, "If we'll find the Scouts, Raion, why are we taking some clueless girls to the concert?" He asked his blonde companion.
"These two have strong energy releasing from their hearts. Either of them might have the silver crystal" Raion explained.
"I don't think so, just hurry up so we can get to the concert as planned" he turned away as the girls came back.
"Sorry to keep you waiting" Cassie told them.
"No problem, ken and I think it's about time to leave for the concert" Hiro said.
The girls nodded, "Alright right" Heidi said.
The four of them left the mall and to the road, the concert was right across the street and the lamps were beginning to turn on. When they were close to the stadium gates, the boys told them to stay where they were. They would be right back in a bit.
"They're not going to try and buy some tickets, are they? You said the concert was sold out…right?" Cassie asked her friend.
Heidi nodded, "Yeah, it's all sold out for the next three days then the band's leaving for somewhere else"
The boys came back, although Ken was rather slow about it, "Okay, we can go in" Hiro said, taking the girls hands. He led them to the gate with Ken following behind.
The gate manager smiled at them, "Good to see you, Master Hiro" he said as they past.
"What are you, some of an emperor?" Cassie asked.
"Not quite that" Hiro smiled.
The game them front row seats as Ken came up. "We'll be right back so don't wait up" Hiro told them as they two boys left.
"Those two are a bit odd" Heidi said.
Cassie agreed as the lights turned off and the music began to start. She glanced around, "They're not back yet"
"They did say not to wait for them" Heidi said.
The lights turned on over the stage to reveal a drummer in the back, a bassist to the left of the drums and the guitarist to the right. Two guys standing in front had their backs turned to the crowd as the crowd cheered, one was blonde and the other was raven haired.
"Wait a minute, isn't that…" Heidi started.
The boys lifted their heads and spun around, turning to the crowd as they began to sing.
"Hiro and Ken?" Cassie exclaimed.
They two boys sounded quite good but something about the words seemed wrong. Cassie listened to them and finally figured it out, she heard to sets of lyrics. One was with the music and sounded like it was "We are Young! We have Heart! Born into this world as it all falls apart. We are Strong! We don't Belong! Born into this world as it all falls apart." While the other lyrics sounded like, "Calling the Dark powers of Bird and Beast, we the spell on you of Eternal Sleep"
"Heidi, this isn't right" Cassie said.
"I know, I think these guys are with the Dark Moon" Heidi agreed. She got up and ran out of the stands and behind them. Cassie followed close behind her. "We need to transform" she said.
"Right" Cassie said as she pulled out her brooch, Heidi pulled out her teardrop shaped pendent.
The two girls raised them into the air, "Moon Prism Power!" "Mercury Power!"
The girls ran out of the stands as Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury. The two rushed onto the stage, "Stop right there!" Sailor Moon shouted.
"Told you they'd come. The Scouts are drawn to danger" said the blonde.
"We are not!" Sailor Moon shouted.
"Yeah, we kinda are" whispered Mercury.
"Whatever" muttered Sailor Moon, "In the name of the Moon!" she shouted.
"And the planet Mercury!"
"We shall punish you!" the two said in union.
"Damn, that's annoying" growled the raven haired guy, "Enough playing Human" a swirl of black fire swirled around him, it disappeared and standing there was Harasu.
"I knew there was something about him" Sailor Moon muttered.
"Guess you were right" Mercury commented, "But who's he?"
"I shall introduce myself at another time" the blonde bowed, "Till we meet again Sailor Scouts" he winked at Sailor Moon, disappearing in a flare of white flower petals.
"Damn you, leave it all to me, so be it!" Harasu shouted, "Tenten Girls, arise!" he called with vigor.
Three female forms appeared from shadows near his feet, they all seemed to be made of a metal, one copper, one silver, and one gold. They giggled as they bowed to Harasu.
"Finish off these brats" he shouted as he waved his hand.
The girls got to work, one of the them, the silver one's fingers became metal ropes. The copper one's hands turned into spinning blades. And the god one's hands glowed white with heat and her hands caught fire.
"This is crazy!" Sailor Moon shouted as they jumped back.
"We have to beat them, to stop Harasu" Mercury called as she dodged the copper one's blades.
"Right!" Sailor moon jumped over one of the silver one's metal ropes that seemed to be alive. She didn't seem the one of the ground behind her, making her fall. The other metal ropes wrapped themselves around her arms and legs, restraining her from attacking or even escaping.
The gold one saw that she was caught and walked over with fire falling from her glowing hands.
"No! Sailor Moon!" Mercury shouted and jumped over on of the blades rushing at her, she ran towards Sailor Moon and them.
Sailor Moon struggled against the hold of the metal ropes but it was hard to break free. She saw the gold one coming towards her and she saw toast, literally.
"Mercury Double Splash!" Mercury shouted as water shot from her gloved hands and soaked the two metal girls. The gold one's hands hardened and began to crack, shattering and falling to the ground. The silver one's metal ropes were suddenly hard to move, having gotten rusted, they feel part at the joints.
Sailor Moon broke free and jumped to her feet, "Glad to be out of that!" she rushed over to Mercury, "Thanks, nice attack by the way"
"It just came to me when I saw you in trouble" Mercury smiled as she looked at her hands.
They suddenly heard rattling metal behind them, they turned to find the copper one's blades aimed to cut off their head but it never hit. A white rose was stuck between its eyes, having made it fall over. Sailor Moon turned to see the Midnight Guardian standing no that far away. "Sailor Moon, finish it!" he shouted.
"Right!" she shouted as she summoned up her scepter and spun it, "Moon Cosmic Crash!" and all three of the Tenten Girls were turned into moon dust, "Never a problem" she smirked.
The Midnight Guardian walked towards them, "Good work, Sailor-" but he stopped when Harasu stood behind him with a blade to his neck.
"You coward!" Sailor Moon shouted as she ran towards them.
"Quiet, brat, or I'll kill your precious 'Guardian', you understand me" Harasu growled at her.
Sailor Moon touched her tiara as her scepter disappeared.
"Sailor Moon, no, you'll hit both of them" Mercury said next to her.
Harasu smirked evilly, "You'll attack us? Go ahead, try and hit me!" he shouted, amused.
"Shut up! It's only you I'll be hitting!" Sailor Moon shouted, she looked at the Midnight Guardian, looking him straight in the eyes through his mask, "Do you trust me?" she asked.
"That's rich, I'm going to enjoy this" Harasu mused.
The Midnight Guardian nodded, "I do, with my life, Sailor Moon"
Sailor Moon sighed, "That's all I needed to hear" she closed her eyes and focused. She opened her eyes suddenly, "Moon Tiara Flash!" she shouted with such strength that it shot out of her gem and hit Harasu directly in the face.
"Ahhh!" he cried as she backed up, lowering his sword. His hand was over his left eye and he glared up at them with such anger, "You haven't seen the last of me!" he vanished in a burst of flames.
Sailor Moon ran up to the Midnight Guardian who was knelling on the ground, "I didn't hit you, did I?"
He shook his head, "Your aim was perfect" he smiled at her and took her hand. A blush formed into her cheeks. "I hope to see you again, Sailor Moon" he leaned down and lightly touched his lips to hers, kissing them. They separated, "Till next time" he left with Sailor Moon standing there, her face glowing red and her hands clenched.
She touched her lips, feeling the ghost of his lips, "He kissed me" she said softly.
Mercury tapped her shoulder, "Sailor Moon, I don't think we have to time to think about that"
Sailor Moon turned to her, "Why? What's up?"
"That" Mercury pointed at the crowd of people staring at them, including a lot of cameras.
"Don't tell me…" she looked around, "That all that fighting we just did…" she looked at Mercury, "ended up on TV…Live" she looked at the crowded again, "All over Japan!" she shouted.
