Act Three – Submerged
"You think they'll show Michiru?" Haruka asked. Haruka and Michiru both were dressed the same as the other girls except Haruka had dark blue boots and dark blue and yellow beads around her waist whilst Michiru wore laced up sea green shoes with sea green and dark blue beads around her own waist.
"Of course they will, Venus and the Moon Princess have always felt a need to protect Humans, that's what our master has said and he is right" Michiru said confidently as she held out a black stone. They were in the middle of the shopping mall at night near a fountain. Michiru dropped the black stone in the waters of the fountain and then a small smile played on her features.
"We should collect a lot of energy here" Michiru said darkly. Haruka simply nodded as a black portal appeared behind them and they walked through, they needed to be ready for when the eventually met Venus, Kunzite and hopefully the Moon Princess.
Haru had a bad feeling today. She couldn't understand why but she just did and she felt it had something to do with the woman they had seen the other day after school. Haru had found herself going to the same place for the past week looking for the woman but she wasn't there. Haru couldn't help but feel disappointed. Izumi and Ayaka on occasion had followed their friend. Their friendship was a strong one. They hadn't known each other all their lives; they had all met when they started school. It had been an instant connection, Haru grabbed the two of them and pulled them in declaring they would always be friends and she didn't need anyone else. However, Izumi had felt there was something more to their friendship and her suspicions were only enhanced after meeting that woman. She felt the Odango woman knew something about them or at least felt something.
Ayaka suggested going to the mall for the day to go window shopping. Haru had been hesitant, especially when she arrived at the place.
"I just don't know Ayaka-chan, I got a bad feeling that's all" Haru said as they began walking about. Ayaka and Izumi both didn't want to admit it but they both had the same feeling.
"Do you feel it?" Minako asked walking besides Kunzite. His eyes were scanning the place and then landed on the fountain. He focussed on it for a few moments tutting whenever someone got in the way of his line of sight.
"They've planted another one" Kunzite said in a restrained voice. His mind drifted back to the man he believed to be his former comrade, Jadeite.
"I feel the same way too Kunzite but we can't let them do any harm, if we can save them they'll regret the bad they've done unless we stop them" Minako said as her own eyes went a little misty, it was like she could read his mind.
"We'll free them Venus, we will" Kunzite said holding Minako's hand tightly. Minako blushed a little.
"What about Usagi? When are we going to tell her?" Minako ventured. Kunzite was silent for a while until he finally looked at Minako.
"What the hell are you? You little brat!" Haruka held Ayaka by the collar of her white t-shirt. Michiru then made sea green water appear in her hands and she started lashing out at people.
"Haruka, I hope you are certain" Michiru said seriously. Haruka narrowed her eyes at Ayaka.
"I can sense power in this little gremlin" Haruka said menacingly. Michiru kept her eyes locked on Haru and Izumi and smirked.
"These two have something in them as well, shall I take them out?" Michiru asked. It was Haruka's turn to smirk.
"Maybe that will draw Venus and Kunzite out, I know they're here" Haruka said keeping her eyes on Ayaka. Haru watched in horror as Haruka raised her arm back and made a tight fist. She felt angry; she had felt as if something like this had happened before, a memory of a woman dressed in a black cropped bikini like top and hot pants. She remembered the woman had worn long black gloves and over the knee black boots. She remembered the woman had a headband with a star in the middle and her black hair was tied into a ponytail. She remembered those pure blue eyes that had looked at them as if they were worthless, as if they meant nothing and they were only pieced of dirt beneath her black boots. Haru felt anger and that anger was building and building. It was then Minako saw it, the red light appearing all over the red haired girl.
"LET HER GO!" Haru screamed as she let off a mass burst of energy. The light reached every corner of the mall blinding Minako and Kunzite. Another figure appeared waiting in the darkness, watching.
Once the light had receded, Haru looked at her hands; they were in short white gloves with black sleeves pulled up to her elbows. She then looked down and saw she was wearing short black boots and black socks that reached above her knees. She was in a short red skater dress with a v-neck and open sleeves. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail accentuating her face. She then realised what was at her hip, she had a sword. Pulling it out, she levelled it in front of her.
"What the hell?!" Haru yelled.
"Scarlet….." Izumi said misty eyed as she too had transformed. She wore a simple v-neck long light blue dress split on the sides up to her upper thighs. She wore long white boots and she had a black belt around her waist. She held a bow and arrow and her eyes had turned a golden colour. Her short blue hair remained in its same style but looked a little wilder as the bottom part spiked outwards. Ayaka looked at both her friends in shock as Haruka dropped her to the ground.
"Now things have gotten a lot more interesting" Haruka said placing her right hand on her hip.
"I concur; I wonder who these two are?" Michiru said.
"Stop talking and fight!" Haru yelled not knowing where all this anger was coming from. Haru darted forward and slashed at Haruka but Haruka was too quick and side stepped Haru who fell into the water.
"Amateurs" Kunzite said getting ready to fight. Minako quickly transformed into Sailor Venus. Izumi was thrown into the same water with Haru followed by Ayaka.
"Do it Michiru" Haruka yelled. Michiru caused the water to funnel trapping the girls inside and suffocating them. The water turned into a long tunnel hitting the top of the mall with the girls inside.
"It's a shame, they had potential" Haruka said in a bored tone.
"VENUS CRESCENT BEAM SMASH!" Venus hit Haruka on the arm causing Michiru to lapse in concentration.
"FOCUS!" Haruka called out to Michiru forcing her to keep the three girls trapped. Haruka rubbed her sore arm but she then smirked.
"So you show up and still no Moon brat, fine, we'll just take you and Kunzite then" Haruka said before raising her hand in the air. Venus recognised the kind of attack she was imitating; it was Uranus's world shaking attack. She released it only for Kunzite to block the attack. Haruka jumped high into the air and then slammed her leg against Kunzite's shoulders followed by slamming her fist into Venus stomach. Clutching her stomach Venus watched as Kunzite took aim at Michiru to try and make her release the girls. It didn't work as he had to dodge hit after hit by Haruka.
"Kunzite, these two girls were the Outer Senshi and they are amongst the most powerful of us" Venus warned as she got up.
"VENUS LOVE-ME CHAIN" Venus wrapped her chain around Haruka and restrained her arms to her sides.
"Damn you Venus" Haruka yelled as she jumped again in the air and broke free from the chain. Michiru looked at the three girls with hatred.
"I should just kill you girls so I can help my partner" Michiru said viciously. Michiru made the water spin faster and faster as the girls held onto their throats.
"MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK!" Large pink hearts smashed into Michiru making her release the girls. The girls fell towards the ground breathing hard. Haruka stopped her attacks and instantly appeared by Michiru. Lifting her body up slowly Haruka looked at the form of Eternal Sailor Moon.
"We'll get you, our master wants you and he will have you" Haruka said coldly as she fell backwards with Michiru into a black portal. Eternal Sailor Moon rushed towards the three girls checking over them rapidly. Haru opened her eyes and looked up at Eternal Sailor Moon. Those eyes, that aura, it was familiar.
"Serenity…." Haru breathed out before passing out. Eternal Sailor Moon stiffened.
"You have some explaining to do Princess" Kunzite said softly as Venus looked down at the three girls before swiftly moving towards Eternal Sailor Moon checking her for any damage.
"Usa, why didn't you tell us anything?" Venus asked in a disappointed tone. Eternal Sailor Moon looked into Venus's eyes and saw it, sadness. It was then Eternal Sailor Moon realised it, she had hurt Venus, she had hurt her protector, she had hurt her friend.
Haru woke up lying on a soft bed. She tried to move but her arm brushed against another, Izumi. Haru then realised Ayaka was on the other side of her. Both of them were still asleep. Haru laid there looking upwards towards the ceiling. She wanted to get up when she heard hushed whispers outside. She remembered seeing Sailor Moon so she was certain that she was now in Sailor Moons' home. Did that mean she was going to meet the actual woman behind the Sailor Fuku?
"You called me Scarlet" Haru said feeling Izumi stir. Izumi mumbled a little but she was now wide awake.
"I know…." Izumi said.
Silence….
"I wanted to call you Darya" Haru said quietly. Izumi nodded but remained silent.
"Ayaka is Rose isn't she?" Haru asked, she had a bad feeling about all of this. Izumi nodded again.
"What do you remember of a woman called Queen Nehellenia?" Ayaka asked out of the blue. All three girls froze as rapid images played in their minds of an evil woman ordering them to do terrible things.
"Damn it Usagi you should have said something! After everything we have been through you kept that away?" Minako said in an angry tone. Usagi looked down towards her feet and then shuffled a little. She felt like the old Sailor Moon again under Mars steady gaze. Sighing deeply Minako turned away to try and collect her thoughts.
"What Minako is trying to say is that you should have mentioned it, those three could have been dangerous" Kunzite said calmly.
"They could've been enemies, your life is more important to me than you know Usagi, I wish you would just appreciate it more" Minako said looking at Usagi stone faced. Usagi then looked up at Minako with hurt and anger in her eyes.
"I do appreciate you Minako, more than you would ever know so there is no need to speak to me like that" Usagi said steadily. Minako closed her eyes and then begun to rub her forehead. She didn't mean to say what she did.
"I'm sorry Usa it's just that with everything that has happened, I wouldn't survive if something bad happened to you" Minako said smiling a little at Usagi. Usagi nodded but a smile hadn't crept on her face yet.
"When were you going to tell me the Senshi were back? You didn't act surprised at all so you have seen them before" Usagi said sternly. Minako and Kunzite looked at each other; they had both known this question was coming. Usagi's lack of reaction had been an indication that her emotions towards it all were slow. But when it did come Usagi would blow and blow at them both.
"You saw others didn't you?!" Usagi asked incredulously. Minako nodded and waited. Usagi didn't explode; instead she looked at them both with sad eyes.
"I guess we're not really a team are we then" Usagi said dejectedly. Minako and Kunzite were shocked by her words.
"No Usagi-chan that's not…." The door opened at the wrong time cutting Minako's words. Haru, Ayaka and Izumi all stepped out still looking a little bruised. Usagi's full attention was on the girls leaving Minako and Kunzite to wonder where all this was going to lead.
Hi All
Thank you to all those following, reviewing and those who have added this story as a favourite.
TropicalRemix - Yep they are going to meet up with the others.
Flareup4Ratchet - Thank you for answering my question :-) I am actually working on two crossovers but don't worry, Kouga and Ayame would stay together and I have paired Sesshomaru with Usagi. Kagome is more or less normal in both the stories. Hope you liked this chapter :-)
LadyKeren - Kunzite gets back at Jun'ichi soon :-)
Kayla Tsukino - I think because the story is more based in the Inuyasha world I will add it to the Sailor Moon crossover section. I have a 14 year old Miki Sayaka and a 10 year old Nakago (Gi Ayuru) in the story, it makes sense when the story progresses. I just want to get far enough in both before posting up.
I will let you guys know when I do post the Crossovers up, it will be soon promise :-)
I have finished this story now, I am just editing and I surprised myself with the ending...
