Ganging up! They're always ambushing or ganging up! It doesn't matter whether they're human… or not.
But nothing's gonna stop me from saving my brother and those kids! I'm ready as I'll ever be!
The captives were being held in the GC headquarters of Des Plaines. Conrad let the girls in through a side window, Usagi and Minako had transformed to be on the safe side. Phoenix was kept in a pen behind the station. They couldn't pick the lock, the fence was too deep to dig him out and the top was welded tightly. Fortunately, Vicki didn't have to take long to find Charlie, for he was the one who'd come out of the building to feed Phoenix.
The young man didn't recognize Vicki – which meant the disguise was effective- and said that his friends were allegedly killed by the Commander before he died. She and Sailor Venus then found out that the GC was attempting to eliminate anyone who was involved with the Young Trib force.
Image and control were important to the GC and they couldn't let word get out that what truly happened at the remains of New Hope was no training exercise. And judging from the way the man who'd yelled at the disabled young man, Charlie's life was in peril just by remaining there. Vicki knew she had to get him out.
Charlie had been startled to see Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus but was soon persuaded to come with them once they reassure him that Hotaru was also safe.
At once, Conrad led Charlie to a motorcycle, and they both climbed on. Sailor Venus and Moon tugged at the fence edges to try and keep it open while Darrion put her arms through the cage opening and pulled at the dog's body. Phoenix yelped.
"Hey!" a man shouted. "They're stealing the dog!"
Conrad started the motorcycle. Phoenix slipped through the opening, sending the girls to the ground. Phoenix growled and ran toward the building. The man retreated. Darrion and Vicki ran to the motorcycle. She tried to start it, but the engine sputtered. Phoenix stood at the open doorway and barked. The motorcycle roared to life. Conrad sped off.
"Wait!" Vicki shouted. She called for Phoenix.
Two men exited the doorway with guns drawn. Phoenix jumped, grabbing one man by the arm. The other man turned to get a shot at the dog, but couldn't. Phoenix bit hard and the man dropped his gun.
"Venus love and beauty shock!" Venus' attack broke a branch and causing it to fall on the other man's head.
Vicki screamed again, and this time Phoenix bounded away to jump into Vicki's lap.
"Let's get out of here!" Sailor Moon urged, dumping a few trash cans to the opening.
Darrion gunned the engine. Vicki held on tight to Phoenix and kept her head down. When they turned into an alley, Phoenix yelped in pain and squirmed in her arms. "It's okay, boy," she said. "You're safe now."
Darrion caught up to Conrad and Charlie. They rode without headlights through the moonlit streets. Vicki knew they had to get to the schoolhouse.
Finally they found around some logs thanks to Z's directions. Around a bend they found a small pond, then the road opened to a meadow and on a hillside stood the old schoolhouse in Vicki's dream.
"Hi, buddy remember us?" Sailor Moon held out her gloved hand to the dog. Sailor Venus did the same.
Phoenix sniffed them inquisitively, before his tail began wagging.
"We're glad to see you too." Sailor Venus grinned. "But don't tell Artemis."
The two didn't dare change back in front of Charlie. They wanted to get their friends settled in then return to the gas station before doing so.
Vicki opened the door with the key Z had given her. A long staircase leading to the second floor was just inside the door. Straight ahead was the kitchen area with a table and a few chairs. To the left and right on the first floor were classrooms.
"This is almost as big as my house!" Darrion said.
"It'd take a year just to find all the rooms," Conrad said. "There's even a bell tower upstairs."
Sailor Venus opened a door under the stairs. Her voice echoed. "There's a pretty big basement down here, too."
"Z said the bedrooms are upstairs," Vicki said.
Charlie carried Phoenix inside and put him on the floor in the kitchen. The group searched for the supply room and found it at the north end of the house. Sailor Moon then nods to Vicki about Charlie with a gentle smile.
Vicki nods back then, pulled out a chair and asked Charlie to sit down. "Do you notice anything familiar about me?"
"Your voice," Charlie said.
"Who do I sound like?"
Charlie shrugged. Vicki took the dental device off her front teeth. Charlie's eyes opened wide.
"How about now?"
Charlie squinted. "I still don't know what—"
"Picture me with red hair."
Charlie gaped with relief and joy, "Vicki!"
A week and a half later…
The jet Haruka and Michiru had acquired was now parked in the burnt-up forest of the mountains, with the Inner Senshi, the Star Lights and the Young Trib-Force (they'd insisted on coming along, setting off quite a chain reaction) standing outside of it, with Sailor Pluto holding her staff and Sailor Saturn holding her own glaive, preparing to infiltrate the camp and rescue Shingo and the other kids. The coordinates and location were a valuable data courtesy of the Graham Siblings and Judd's sleuthing. Rei had made a full recovery in time for the mission after urging her loves ones and their friends to head for either the Addams hostel which was turned into a safehouse or they were lead to the safehouse by Saki.
The Sailor senshi had handed to each one of the youngsters bandana masks and goggles, as both a way to hide their faces and other safety precautions.
"Okay, we're here. Everybody ready?" Sailor Star Fighter said.
"Yeah!" said everyone, minus Conrad.
"Okay. Here's the game plan: Our mission is to get into that camp, foil the GC's plans, rescue those kids, and get them out of here." Sailor Star Fighter explained. "Got it?"
"Got it."
"Alright. Let's go." Sailor Star Fighter said.
"Wait. Hold up." Conrad said, getting everyone's attention. "We can't just go into the camp the way we are. Especially not you and the rest of the super-girls here, Sailor Moon."
"And why not?" Fighter said.
"You're all wanted by the GC, just like we are. As soon as they see you, they're gonna shoot you all with tranquilizer guns right on the spot." Conrad reminded.
"He's right. We can't afford to get captured by anyone in the Global Community. It's best to find a way inside without being noticed." Sailor Uranus said albeit reluctantly.
"Yes. But how to go about it?" Sailor Neptune said.
"Perhaps I could offer a simple solution." Sailor Pluto reminded before she raised her staff in the air. "Sailor Teleport." The red jewel in her staff started glowing and a pink orb then formed around the Senshi, the Star Lights and the Young Trib-Force, then they all disappeared, followed by re-appearing in the lobby of a building, with the pink orb around them disappearing afterwards, and the garnet orb in her staff stopped glowing.
"So where are we now?" Vicki asked, looking around.
"Inside the command tower of the camp. If we're to have any hope of finding Shingo, we best head upwards to the control-room, hack into its system, and search for him on the list of children who are here." Pluto said.
"No problem." Lionel said.
"Hold it right there!" came a male voice.
The gang then saw several GC soldiers, with guns, run out into view and stopped a few feet away from the group and aimed their guns at them. "Stop! In the name of the Global Community! You are all under arrest!"
"Spoke too soon." Lionel said.
"Arresting and killing innocent people for sharing the truth with the world, slandering the names of me and my friends, abducting kids from their homes and corrupting them with violence?! I won't have it!" Sailor Moon rebuked. "I'm Sailor Moon." She said beginning her pose.
"And I am Sailor Mercury!"
"Sailor Jupiter!"
"Sailor Venus!"
"Sailor Uranus!"
"Sailor Neptune!"
"Sailor Pluto!"
"Sailor Saturn!"
"Sailor Star Fighter!"
"Sailor Star Maker!"
"Sailor Star Healer!"
"And in the name of Heaven...all will be judged. And that means you." Sailor Moon said, finishing her pose.
"Yeah, yeah, save it for the government, alien invaders." snapped the GC general.
"Supreme Thunder!" Sailor Jupiter said, firing the attack at the GC soldiers and their general, knocking them to the floor.
"Take that, you goons. Let's go." Sailor Jupiter urged.
The gang took off running and headed up an escalator. When they made it to the top, they stopped in their tracks when they saw a large glass elevator up ahead.
"An elevator." Shelly said.
"Yeah. And it actually looks like it'll hold all of us." Mark said.
"Great. Let's hustle!" Taylor said.
The gang resumed running and rushed up to the elevator where Sailor Moon pressed a button, followed by its glass doors opening. The group entered inside the elevator, only for a loud buzzer to go off in it.
"Huh? What's that noise?" Sailor Star Maker asked.
"To many of us, I think." Darrion said.
"So it can hold all of us, huh?" Sailor Star Healer said sarcastically.
"Freeze!"
The gang looked and saw another group of GC soldiers coming their way, with guns. The Sailor Star Lights stepped right off the elevator.
"You guys go on ahead. Leave these guys to us, we've got it." Sailor Star Fighter said, taking a defensive stance.
"No, Fighter! Healer, Maker!" Sailor Moon cried worriedly.
"The Star Lights are right. Let's go." Sailor Mercury said.
"We'll be waiting for you at the top, okay?" Sailor Jupiter said.
"The force of Heaven be with you guys." Sailor Venus said before she pressed a button, followed by the elevator doors started to close.
"Stop them! Don't let them escape!" yelled one of the GC soldiers.
"Better see you soon." Sailor Uranus said sternly, otherwise Sailor Moon will never let them hear the end of it.
The three protectors of Kinmoku smiled, looking back at the gang as the elevator doors closed, followed by the elevator going up. The Star Lights then glowered at the GC soldiers running towards them, then they looked at each other seriously and nodded. They knew what they had to do.
"Star Serious Laser!" Sailor Fighter said, holding up her star-shaped weapon.
"Star Sensitive Inferno!" Sailor Star Healer said, holding up her star-shaped weapon as well.
"Starlight Super Nova Explosion!" Sailor Star Maker said, also holding up her star-shaped weapon.
The Star Lights fired their attacks at the GC soldiers heading towards them.
As the elevator was making its way up to the top floor, Sailor Moon was growing impatient.
"Come on!" Sailor Moon said before she punched the control panel. "Can't this thing go faster?!"
"Hey relax. It's not far now." Conrad said.
Just then, a gun-shot came through the glass and hit the control panel, making it explode.
"Aah!" The gang screamed.
The elevator then stopped on a floor and its doors opened up, with the gang coughing as they exited the smoking elevator, followed by its doors closing.
"This is where you get off." said a female voice.
And gang looked, and much to the Senshi's shock, standing before them were Eudial, holding her smoking bazooka, and Mimete, holding her staff. It was obvious Eudial had been the one who had fired the shot into the elevator.
"Eudial! Mimete!" Sailor Moon gasped in shock.
"No way! I thought she drowned!" Judd yelped.
He and the others remembered their talks and discussions with the Sailor senshi after witnessing the events thanks to the Queen Mother.
Shelley shakily points at Mimete. "And that one's supposed to be trapped in machines or something!"
"Then these zombies must've gotten some really good plastic surgery job!" Mark's eye twitched.
"We're going to destroy you all right here and now." Eudial said.
"If we do that, our master below will reward us, and you chums will be left here to rot like so many of your other deceased friends." Mimete added.
Sailor Neptune then narrowed her eyes as the truth hit her. "That's not the real Eudial and Mimete, those are demons pretending to be them!" She said.
Aside from the fact of knowing that the Witches 5 were all dead as doornails -and burning in Hell most likely- she knew these two were not the enemies they'd faced once, as they gave off an even darker vibe like the false Nehelenia.
"What?!" Judd, Conrad and Darrion gasped, stunned. They couldn't believe the two women standing before them were actually demons in disguise.
Taylor grumbled flatly. "You have got to be kidding me."
"Wow, somebody's smart." Eudial said.
"Nothing gets past your intuition." Mimete added.
"Aw man." Vicki winced.
"Not this again." Shelly said, taking a step back.
"No way. No, this can't be happening." Darrion shook her head, clearly in denial.
"I don't believe it. Demons. Actual demons." Conrad said.
"I thought they didn't exist." Taylor said, staring wide-eyed at the fake Eudial and Mimete.
Judd's heart hammered in his chest. He felt like he was in a horror movie. The gruesome kind of R rated movies his parents hadn't allowed him or his siblings to watch due to their Christianity, but he would watch when over at one of his wild friends' homes, and which still scared him when he was 16, if he was honest with himself.
"Enough with all these denials and contradictions. Fight us!" Eudial said.
"We don't have any time to waste." Mimete said.
"Fine! If you wanna fight me, bring it on!" Sailor Moon said.
"It's a duo fight!" Sailor Mercury said.
"So we can handle it!" Sailor Mars added.
"What?" Sailor Moon questioned.
"We'll hold them off here. Sailor Moon, you and the others hurry up to the control room, okay?" Sailor Mercury said.
"But you guys should come with us." Sailor Moon said.
"If you don't get to the control-room, we won't be able to shut this place down and rescue Shingo and the other kids, so just get going." Sailor Mars scolded.
"I guess you're right. See you up there soon, okay?" Sailor Jupiter said.
"At the carnival in Chicago, Dark Lilith and her demonic clowns troupe nearly crushed all of you. And now you're just running away." Mimete said.
"Without a third party to fight, your kind is not even worth my time, faker." Sailor Jupiter said.
"Wait." Sailor Moon said.
"Sailor Moon, we can't let their efforts go to waste. Let's go." Sailor Venus said.
"Venus." Sailor Moon said. "I get it. Heaven be with you, Mercury...and Mars." She said before she and the rest of the gang ran towards a flight of stairs and raced up them.
"Leave it to us." Sailor Mercury said.
"Because our duo team is the best on the whole planet." Mars added.
"Best on the planet, huh? I guess we and the rest of the dark forces have been underestimating you and the rest of the Senshi this whole time." Mimete said.
"That's the tough talk coming from a couple of teenagers." Eudial said.
"We're not just teenagers, pal, we're Tokyo, Japan's number one and only super heroes, for your information!" Sailor Mercury said.
"And members of the late Moon Kingdom! We are the Sailor Guardians!" Sailor Mars said.
Eudial fired her bazooka at Mercury and Mars, followed by Mimete firing an attack from her staff at them.
"Bubble Spray!" Mercury said as she fired her attack.
"Fire Soul!" Mars said, also firing her attack.
As Sailor Moon and the rest of the gang ran up the stairs, she thought about the Star Lights, Mercury and Mars.
'Fighter...Healer...Maker...Mercury, Mars... you can do it. I promise that we'll rescue Shingo and the other kids and pull the plug on this horrible GC project.' Sailor Moon thought.
Sailor Moon, the rest of the Senshi and the kids Trib-Force rushed inside a room, with its double-doors sliding open and closing afterwards. Sailor Moon and the Senshi gasped when they saw who was in the room, however. For standing before them and the kids were Tellu and Viluy.
"I didn't think you'd make it here so soon." Tellu said.
"Looks like we slightly underestimated you." Viluy added.
"Tellu. Viluy." Sailor Moon said.
"More enemies of your's I presume?" Judd guessed.
Vicki's eyes widened in shock. "Tellu as in: The one killed by her own monster plant?"
Darrion nervously looked between the two false enemies. "And the other that was vaporized by her own nanobots?"
"Yeah, those were messed up ways to die." Conrad nods with a grimace.
"No, these are impostors. They're giving off the same exact vibe as the fake Eudial and Mimete." Sailor Saturn said, clenching her glaive.
"So...who will be my opponent?" Viluy asked.
"We'll, me. I'm ready to fight you." Sailor Venus said.
"Ha! You got to her first, did you?" Sailor Jupiter said. "Then I guess my opponent..." She began. "Is you." She finished, pointing at the fake Tellu.
"Hahahahaha!" Tellu laughed evilly.
"Hey, Jupiter, Venus." Sailor Moon said.
"Go ahead if you want to." Tellu said to Sailor Moon and the others.
"A big surprise is waiting for you and the others upstairs in the control-room, Miss Moon." Viluy said.
"Go now, you guys." Sailor Venus said.
"Stop the GC's plans, no matter what." Sailor Jupiter said.
"Got it. See you soon." Sailor Moon said before she, the Outer Senshi and the kids took off running and headed up the stairs. 'Everyone, do your best.' she thought.
The gang soon made it to the top of the stairs where a door was and it slid open, allowing them to enter inside the control-room, withe the door sliding close behind them. The group looked around and saw that the control-room was empty.
"The place is empty. Where is everyone?" Sailor Uranus remarked, she didn't like the looks of this.
"This is the big surprise? An empty control-room?" Shelley asked.
"Bottom line...there's no one here?" Vicki said. "I'm almost disappointed."
"Yes, there is. I can sense an evil presence." Sailor Pluto warned.
"So do I." Sailor Saturn added.
In a flash of purple light, Dr. Tomoe, Kaolinite-in her short red dress and red high heel shoes-Cyprine and Pitol, holding their staffs, and two large red-eyed purple daimons, with several long legs, appeared in the room before everyone, which made the Senshi gasp in shock, especially Sailor Saturn. The kid's Trib-Force were frightened by the two daimons. Dr. Tomoe looked exactly like he did when he was still under the influence of Germatoid. He even gave off the same vibe, only darker and more evil.
"Professor Tomoe! Kaolinite! Cyprine, Pitol!" Sailor Moon said.
"Papa?!" Sailor Saturn gasped.
Lionel looked at her and at Dr. Tomoe in great alarm, pulling at his collar. No. That can't be right. Hotaru's father was killed during the World War III bombings, the lawyer confirmed the coroner reports with Haruka and Michiru.
"Isn't that the same harsh woman who got zapped by…?" Conrad noted, but cut himself off. He didn't want to speak of Mistress Nine aloud.
"Don't be fooled. They're just merely dark forces in the form of them." Sailor Pluto said sternly.
"Welcome to the control-room." False Kaolinite said.
"Of Camp One World." Cyprine and Pitol added. These also had to be impostors.
"Hello, Sailor Senshi...young Trib-Force. Welcome to Camp One World. We've been waiting for you. You see, my precious daimons are starving. They have to be fed." Dr. Tomoe said. "Attack!"
The two daimons roared with rage as they lunged Sailor Moon and the gang, with the kids Trib-Force screaming in terror, and Sailor Neptune's mirror appeared in her right hand.
"Space sword Blaster!" Sailor Uranus called as she fired her attack at the first daimon, with the creature exploding on impact.
"Submarine Reflection!" Neptune shouted as she fired the attack from her mirror at the second daimon, blowing it apart on impact.
"Hahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!" Dr. Tomoe laughed crazily. "Go ahead and destroy them, there's plenty more where they came from."
"We don't have time to play around with you clowns! What do you want with Shingo Tsukino and the other kids?!" Sailor Moon demanded.
"Shingo?" The false Dr. Tomoe questioned. "Oh, you mean the Asian boy the Global Community took from the Tsukino residence in Tokyo, Japan. Mio had them abduct him after learning of your identity. But you already know about the abduction, don't you...Usagi Tsukino?"
"What?!" Sailor Moon gasped. Mio was behind Shingo's abduction? And these dark forces knew who she was? That was not good.
"That's right. We know who you are. We know who all of you super-girls are. All of the dark forces do. And when our master below arrives on Earth...so will everyone else." Kaolinite said.
"Your master below? Who is that?" Sailor Moon asked.
"You'll find out." Kaolinite said, with an evil smirk on her face.
"So this must be concluded quickly, you see." Cyprine said.
In another flash of purple light, Mistress 9 appeared in the room before the gang.
"Mistress 9?!" Uranus and Neptune gasped. Sailor Saturn gaped in shock.
Taylor was bewildered staring what he assumed were once dead enemies of the Senshi facing then. "Okay, this has the making of a really freaky Twilight Zone episode."
"Another dark force at work in the form of another one of our defeated enemies." Sailor Pluto said.
"Yes. We thought it would be much more interesting this way if you went up against enemies you are familiar with." said the fake Mistress 9. "But first let's check in on your other super friends and see how they're doing against the other Witches 5, shall we?" She looked at the surveillance screen that took up the whole wall and two screens appeared on screen, showing the fights between Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Eudial, Mimete, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, Tellu and Viluy.
Sailor Moon and the gang turned to the screen and began watching the fights.
"Mercury, Mars. Jupiter, Venus." Sailor Moon said.
"Mars Flame-"
"Oh, no you don't!" Eudial said, cutting Mars off before firing her bazooka at the Sailor Senshi of fire.
"AAH!" Mars screamed as she was hit by the shot and knocked down.
"Ha!" Eudial laughed. "Let's finish this now, Mimete."
"Let's." Mimete said while firing more and more attacks at Mercury.
Eudial fired more shots at Mars non-stop.
"AHH!" Mars screamed as the shots hit her.
Mimete continued hitting a screaming Mercury with more and more attacks she fired from her staff. "Hahaha! I'm just gonna keep on tormenting you. Just give up now."
"Hurry up and finish it, will you?! We have to go after the others!" Eudial said.
"Yeah, I know if we destroy the Senshi and the young Trib-Force, our master below will reward us for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah." Mimete said. "Oh! And we won't have to worry about suffering the same fate as that demon who attacked the park in Tokyo, Japan and Dark Lilith. It's over for you! Say good night!" She said before firing a super attack from her staff.
Eudial fired a super shot with her bazooka and both of the two fake Witches 5's attacks made their way towards the two battered Sailor Senshi.
The attack hit Mercury and Mars, causing an explosion. When the smoke cleared, however, Eudial gasped.
"That can't be!" Mimete said shockingly.
Standing before the two witches were a glowing Sailor Mercury and a glowing Sailor Mars, who were no longer injured. Mercury was glowing blue and Mars was glowing red, both in their Eternal forms.
"Impossible! They just withstood our super attacks!" Eudial gasped.
The two Senshi stopped glowing.
"We can't afford to lose to these guys for sure!" Sailor Mars said.
"We will never allow you to go after Sailor Moon and the others!" Sailor Mercury said.
"Wha-what's wrong with you two?! Are you saying you don't care what happens to you?!" Mimete gasped.
"You're both fools! I mean, I can understand you wanting to protect your own, but why would you act as a shield for the people of this world when they have turned against you?!" Eudial said.
"Because we believe in the remaining good of this world!" Sailor Mars said.
"Say what?!" Eudial said.
"If we can stop you here, then Sailor Moon and our friends will be able to stop the GC's plans for the children at this camp!" Sailor Mars said.
"Our friends are counting on us to hold you back!" Sailor Mercury said.
"That's why we cannot give up! We will fight you until the very end, do you hear me?!" Sailor Mars said.
"And we won't let monsters like you, who will do anything to accomplish your goals, and think of human beings as nothing but tools, poisoning the minds of the children of this world!" Sailor Mercury said.
"Enough talk! A victory is a serious win! A win that only has meaning if you do win! That is true for anyone on any planet, understand?!" Eudial said.
"You're wrong! A victory isn't only about winning!" Sailor Mars said.
"Humans aren't machines designed for you and your kind to control and manipulate!" Sailor Mercury said.
"Without experiences that touch the spirit or the bonds of friends who believe in each other, a person cannot become strong!" Sailor Mars said.
"We haven't known any of the Trib-Forces for very long!" Sailor Mercury said.
"But we all believe in each other and share a true bond and belief!" Sailor Mars said.
"Stop it! Quit talking already!" Eudial said.
"You two clowns don't know anything about us at all!" Mimete said.
"Friends, huh? And bonds and beliefs? YOU'RE DREAMING!" Eudial said. "I'll teach you both that those things have no place in the New World Order!"
Eudial and Mimete fired shots from their weapons and Mercury and Mars braced themselves for impact.
Just then, a white beam of light came and hit the attacks, preventing them from hitting the two sailor senshi.
"What?!" Super Mercury gasped.
"Star Serious Laser!" Sailor Mars realized that was the signature attack of Sailor Star Fighter.
"No way!" Eudial gasped.
"Not good!" Mimete added.
"It's the Sailor Star Lights!" Sailor Mercury said excitedly as she and Sailor Mars turned to see the Sailor Star Lights standing by and open door, with Fighter holding up her star-shaped weapon, revealing her to have been the one who fired the attack.
"We finally caught up with you guys." Sailor Star Fighter said as she lowered her weapon.
"And we've taken care of those GC clowns downstairs. Have a nice nap, guys." Sailor StarHealer added.
Downstairs, all of the GC men were all lying all over the floor unconscious or groaning in pain after their fight with the Sailor Star Lights.
"Are you telling us that you three ran all the way up to this floor on the stairs, Fighter?" Sailor Mars asked as the Star Lights ran up to her and Super Mercury.
"That's amazing. What a work-out. You're all looking good." Sailor Mercury said.
"We've always looked good, don't you know?" Sailor Star Maker said.
"How dare you! Five against two isn't fair!" Mimete said.
"You're calling us un-fair?!" Sailor Mercury said.
"The tables have now turned! Prepare yourself, Mimete, or whoever you are!" Sailor Mars said.
"AAH! Oh, no!" Mimete panicked.
Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars joined hands and the Star Lights joined hands. "Super Planet Attack!" the two Inners called out as they started glowing blue and red.
"Sailor Stars Attack!" The Sailor Star Lights shouted as they started glowing silver, fuchsia and neon green.
The two Eternal Senshi and the Star Lights fired the attacks at Eudial and Mimete.
"AAAAAAAAH!" Eudial and Mimete screamed as the two attacks came towards them and exploded on impact, shaking the whole building.
The smoke soon cleared, revealing the fake Eudial and the fake Mimete lying on the floor unconscious and injured.
Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and Star Lights stared at the unconscious fake Witches 5.
"Nighty night, you creeps." Sailor Mars said. She, Sailor Mercury and the Star Lights the ran off and headed up the stairs to catch up with Sailor Moon and the others.
Back in the control-room...
"YAY!" Sailor Moon and the others cheered.
"They did it! They beat 'em!" Judd added.
"Thanks to the Sailor Star Lights!" Vicki said.
"I wouldn't celebrate just yet if I were you." Mistress 9 said.
"Huh?" Sailor Moon and the gang said as they looked at Mistress 9 and the other Death Buster disguised demons.
"Your Starry friends and the first two Senshi may have managed to beat the GC, Eudial and Mimete...but let's see how well your other two Senshi friends are doing against Tellu and Villuy." Mistress 9 said.
Sailor Moon and the others turned their attention back to the surveillance screen, with the screen that displayed Mars and Mercury's fight disappearing off screen, leaving only the screen of Jupiter and Venus fighting against Tellu and Villuy.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Jupiter said, firing the attack at Tellu.
"Razor Leaf!" Tellu said, firing a number of sharp green leaves at Jupiter.
The attacks collided with each other for a moment before Razor Leaf over-powered Jupiter's attack, canceling out both attacks.
"Jupiter Coconut Cyclone!" Sailor Jupiter said.
Tellu shot vines out of her right hand and they swatted Jupiter's attack away, much to the latter's frustration.
"What's wrong Sailor Jupiter? You won't defeat me like that, now will you?" Tellu said.
"Crescent Beam!" Sailor Venus said, firing her attack at Villuy.
"Ice Beam!" Villuy said, firing her attack at Venus's attack, freezing it.
"No way!" Sailor Venus gasped, followed by her attacks falling to the floor, shattering into pieces. "Looks like you have some skill."
"Of course I do. Since the master below cannot accomplish anything on his own without working through humans, the world leader was instructed to have this camp built by Tellu and I. I have some wisdom, child of the late Moon Kingdom." Villuy explained.
"The world leader was also instructed to order the GC to abduct the children and bring them here by Villuy and I, you must understand." Tellu added. "Villuy and I possess...all of the powers of the dark side."
"You know you're not actually them, right? I mean...the real Tellu and Villuy...are dead. Probably burning down below or waiting judgement right now as we speak." Sailor Venus said, reminding these two imposters what they were and who they really weren't.
"Very perceptive, I see. Impressive." Villuy said.
"Don't forget this! We over-came all of the real Death Busters, their Heart Snatchers, and Mistress 9 to save the world, if you recall!" Sailor Jupiter said.
"Even if all the dark forces were to attack us at once, there's no way we would lose with Heaven on our side!" Sailor Venus said.
"Ugh! That's non-sense!" Villuy said. "Ice Shard!" She said, firing another ice attack at Venus with her hands.
"Venus Love Me Chain!" Sailor Venus said, with her chain charging forward and hitting the attack, destroying it. "If I kept getting hit by attacks, I wouldn't be able to survive as a Sailor Senshi for very long, now would I? Don't mess with Sailor Venus!"
"Very well then. Jupiter's not gonna be outdone either." Sailor Jupiter said. "Here goes! Jupiter Thunderbolt!" She shouted, firing the attack at Tellu.
"Leech Seed!" Tellu said, firing the attack at Jupiter.
"Avalanche!" Villuy said, firing the attack at Venus.
Both attacks hit Jupiter and Venus, causing an explosion.
"Hahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!" Tellu and Villuy laughed evily.
The smoke soon cleared, revealing Jupiter and Venus as Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus in their Eternal forms as they glowed green and orange.
"Huh?!" Tellu gasped.
"What is this?!" Villuy added.
"Okay. Here we go, Venus." Sailor Jupiter said.
"Okay, Jupiter." Sailor Venus agreed.
"What in the world?!" Tellu said.
What's going on here?!" Villuy asked.
"Super Planet Attack!" Jupiter and Venus shouted, firing their attacks at Tellu and Villuy.
"AAAAAAHHHH!" Tellu and Villuy screamed as the attacks came their way and hit them, exploding on impact.
The smoke soon cleared, revealing a battered Tellu and Villuy lying unconscious on the floor. Jupiter and Venus stared at the two defeated fake Witches 5, then they looked at each other seriously and nodded before running off, heading up the stairs to meet up with Sailor Moon and the others.
"Alright, Jupiter!" Shelly cheered.
"You go, Sailor V!" Lionel added.
Sailor Moon and the gang turned to face the remaining fake Death Buster's.
"Looks like the show's over for all of you." Shelly taunted.
"That's right! Now give back Shingo!" Sailor Moon ordered.
"And the other kids!" Darrion added.
"It's all over, you creeps of the night!" Conrad said.
"Play time's over." Mark said.
"Yeah. What he said." Taylor stated.
"I couldn't agree more. Because you're right about one thing: It is over...for all of you. Because this will be your grave!" Dr. Tomoe said before taking his lab coat off. "You all shall have the honor of dying here at my hands!" He then turned into his true demon form, which was that of a dark purple, muscular monster with glowing red eyes and spikes on his head and all over his body.
The kid's Trib-Force were horrified by what they had just seen. This waking nightmare had just gotten more scary.
"I'm nothing like those other two you faced and put down easily. I am Darko. Die!" said the demon now known as Darko before his sharp fingers shot out towards Sailor Moon and the gang.
"Everyone, dive!" Sailor Moon said before she and the others all jumped out of the way, dodging the attack.
Darko fired red laser-beams out of his red eyes at Sailor Moon, which she narrowly managed to dodged.
"Sailor Moon!" Sailor Pluto said.
"Space Sword Blaster!" Sailor Uranus said, before firing the attack at Darko with her sword, with the attack hitting him. "AAAAAAAAAHHH!" Sailor Uranus cried out as she charged forward, prepared to kill Drako with her sword.
"Wait, don't!" Lionel said, making Sailor Uranus stop and turn to face him. "Until a few seconds ago, that thing was Hotaru's Dad."
"He's not her father! He's an enemy in disguise! Hotaru's father died in the bombings of World War III!" Sailor Uranus reminded him.
"It's true!" Sailor Saturn confirmed, stepping front of Lionel protectively. "The lawyer who arrived at the house confirmed it."
Darko's fingers shot forward and hit Uranus in the face, sending her flying back and knocking her to the floor.
"Uranus, no!" Sailor Moon said. Just then, out of the blue, the Eternal Tiare appeared in front of her.
"AAAAAAAAAHHH!" Sailor Saturn screamed as she changed forward and stabbed Drako in the chest with her staff, making him roar out in pain.
"Hotaru...I thought you loved me." Darko said.
"Faker...you're history." Sailor Saturn said.
"Sailor Moon, use the Tiare!" Sailor Neptune said.
"You can't do this, Hotaru. I'm your father." Darko said.
"No, you're not. My father is dead no thanks to that power hungry maniac, and as of right now, so are you!" Sailor Saturn said before pulling her staff out of Darko's chest and jumping out of the way.
Without a moment's hesitation, Sailor Moon pulled out her Tiare. Hopefully she still remembers how to do this one.
"Return to the darkness!" She said. "Rainbow Moon Heartache!" The rod fired it's attack at Darko, hitting the demon, and he cried with a loud howl before disintegrating to death.
Sailor Uranus stood up. "Five down...four to go."
"Five against four? Doesn't seem fair." Kaolinite said.
"Since when do you care about fair, Kaolinite? Or whatever your actual name is." Sailor Saturn said.
"Enough toying around, you fake Death Busters! Give back Shingo!" Sailor Moon said.
"Why?" Cyprine and Pitrol asked.
"Because he's my brother, that's why!" Sailor Moon said.
"Since when does that mean anything to you?" Kaolinite asked.
"I've always cared about him. More-so now than I previously did." Sailor Moon said.
"We'll, that's understandable. After all, he's still alive now. If he dies and winds up in Hell, then that's another story. People are just dying to avoid the end of the world." Mistress 9 said.
"That's not funny, Mistress 9." Sailor Moon said.
"Maybe not to you." Mistress 9 said.
"It's your own fault you're in this situation, you know. You waited until it was too late to share the information with your brother regarding the vanishings. You're about as bad as Judd and Vicki when it comes to being an older sibling." Kaolinite taunted.
"That's not true! Compared to me or Judd, Usagi has been the best older sibling of this century! Unlike me, she wasn't sneaking out at night and going to crazy parties with wild friends or smoking pot!" Vicki said.
"Or hanging out with the wrong crowd or running away from home or wishing her family wasn't hers, like me! She was off fighting monsters and super villains as Sailor Moon, making the world a safe place for her brother to grow up in!" Judd added. "And I would give anything to have what she has: A second chance at being the older sibling I should've been all along."
"And so would I." Vicki said.
"You'd give anything? Really? The only reason why you care about your siblings now is because they're gone and you found out that the apocalypse has been unleashed upon the world. And He'll only knows what you would've done with your lives if the vanishings hadn't happened, so you can just save your 'I'm a different person now' speeches." Kaolinite said.
"Enough!" Sailor Saturn shouted. "Don't listen to this thing! It doesn't matter what kind of brother or sister you were back then. You're better siblings now and that's all that matters. And you'll have the chance to put it in action when your siblings return with the son of God and everyone else taken to Heaven." She assured. This imposter may not have been the real Kaolinite, but they had her down to a T. Her looks...her personality...and her manipulative ways. Either way, Saturn was putting a stop to these cruel mind games here and now. Kaolinite had done enough damage to people's lives when she was alive. She was not going to continue it from beyond the grave.
"You're right." Sailor Moon began. "Maybe I haven't been the big sister I'm supposed to be. And maybe I have been there for my brother the way I should have. But guess what, Kaolinite? That doesn't mean I can't move on and do better. And that's exactly what I'm going to do. And I'll start...by rescuing my brother from this place!"
"And what about your super hero secret? How are you going keep it from him?" Kaolinite asked. "He's not a naive little boy anymore. He's at the age where he's old enough to notice things and ask questions about them. Shingo's growing up. And there's nothing you can do about it."
"You're right. I can't stop Shingo from growing up...but I wouldn't miss it for the world." Sailor Moon said.
"And what if he can't forgive you for lying and deceiving him about you being Sailor Moon? What if he doesn't accept the truth of what's happening to the world?" Mistress 9 asked.
"The one lying and deceiving here is...YOU!" Sailor Moon said.
"Huh?!" Mistress 9 gasped.
"I'm no longer the person I was before, understand me?! Because I have finally re-discovered what being a big sister is, and that's have my brother's back and love and protect him and keep him safe!" Sailor Moon said.
"Yes, Sailor Moon!" Judd and Vicki said.
"My enemy is anyone who uses people like pawns, especially children, in a twisted scheme and takes pleasure from tricking others into wrong and unfair beliefs!" Sailor Moon said. "That's you, the world leader, and the Global Community, fake Death Busters!" She said, pointing at Mistress 9, Kaolinite and Cyprine and Pitolrol.
"Well, I had hoped to win you over to our side and have you rule alongside the world leader. But you leave me no choice. I will just have to do this myself." Mistress 9 said. "I won't allow anyone to get in our way."
The fake Mistress 9 then transformed into a woman-like monster with blue shoulder-length hair, blue eyes, pale blue skin, glitter blue eye-shadow, glitter blue lipstick, long sharp glitter blue finger-nails, a light blue puffy long sleeve shirt with puffy sleeves, dragon wings that were blue on the outside and red on the inside, and eight long blue tentacles, with the under-parts of the tentacles being pale blue.
"What is that?!" Judd gasped, completely. He no longer felt like he was in a horror movie. He WAS in a horror movie.
"It's been a while since I've felt this excited." The woman-like monster said.
"Who are you?!" Sailor Uranus demanded.
"I am OctoWanda. One of the fallen. But, uh...you already know that, don't you?" The woman-like creature answered, introducing herself.
"I might've commented on that letdown of a name, if it weren't for the fact we're dealing with actual demons right before us." Darrion yelped.
"Okay, here I go." OctoWanda said.
"What?!" Sailor Neptune asked.
"No time for second thoughts." OctoWanda said before she shot black electricity out of her right fingers toward Sailor Saturn.
"Look out!" Lionel said he pushed Saturn out of the way, only to be hit by the attack himself.
"AAAAAAHH!" Lionel screamed in pain as the attack sent him flying back into the wall.
"Lionel!" Sailor Moon and the whole gang said.
Sailor Saturn got to her feet and rushed over to an injured Lionel and got down on her knees. "Lionel...are you okay? Speak to me."
Lionel responded by groaning in pain.
Sailor Moon turned back to OctoWanda, glaring at her. "You monster!"
"Come on, don't look at me like that. The master has worked so hard at the world together for the first time in human history. Your kind are the ones at fault for not understanding that." OctoWanda said.
"What was that?!" Sailor Saturn demanded as she stood up.
"It's your turn next, Miss Moon." OctoWanda said. "Oh, yes. Since this is such an important battle, let's have everyone here to watch it, shall we?" Her eyes glowed red and the four defeated Witches 5 appeared from behind in flashes of red light, then the Starlight's, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus in the room in flashes of red light behind Sailor Moon, followed by OctoWanda's eyes returning to normal.
"Everyone!" Sailor Moon said after turning to see her other once absent Sailor Senshi friends.
"That's better." OctoWanda said.
"Whoa! What now?!" Mercury asked, looking at OctoWanda.
"What's that?!" Sailor Mars gasped.
"One of the fallen that pretended to be Mistress 9!" Pluto said.
"I knew those weren't the real Death Busters!" Sailor Jupiter said.
"When your friends see you and the rest of the Senshi lose here and now to us, the young Trib-Force will understand. Who is really in the right? The world leader, the GC and us and our master of course." OctoWanda said.
"No way, pal! We will not allow that to happen! We will crush your plans, even if it cost us our lives!" Sailor Moon said as she looked at the female demon.
"Oh, yeah? Bring it on." OctoWanda said.
"Here it comes!" Sailor Moon said.
"I'm ready, so bring it on, Princess." OctoWanda said.
"Moon Spiral Heartache!" Sailor Moon said, firing the attack with the moon heart rod.
"Waste of time." OctoWanda said. "Water Gun!" OctoWanda said, firing the water attack out of her mouth.
Both attacks hit each other and OctoWanda's attack took out the Large Hearts.
"Oh, no!" Sailor Moon said.
"Hahahahaha!" OctoWanda laughed. "Even under normal conditions, I am the toughest. When you add to that the water attacks I possess, you are doomed. Your girlish attacks are no match for me. Once you've attacked and failed, you are mine, end of story."
"What?!" Sailor Moon gasped.
"That's not good." Shelly said.
"Come on! Hang in there! Just hang on, Sailor Moon!" Sailor Mercury said.
"Hang on?" Kaolinite questioned.
"Huh?" Sailor Mercury said.
"Hahaha!" Kaolinite laughed. "You think you can win just by hanging on. Sorry. But in our skills as demons and your skills as super heroes, the difference between you and us is immeasurable. Why don't you just give up now, Sailor Senshi?"
"Fat chance, Kaolinite! We won't give up because of one reason: My friends here and I share true knowledge and faith. As long as we don't give up, we will surely rise to the challenge!" Sailor Moon said.
"Huh?!" Kaolinite said.
"Our feelings are the feelings of all believers of the truth on this planet! In order to live up to everyone's hopes, and for my brother and the other children here, no matter what, I will not lose!" Sailor Moon said.
"Bubble Freezing Spray!" Sailor Mercury said, firing her attack at OctoWanda, only for it to have no effect when it hit her. "What?!"
"Hahahahahaha!" OctoWanda laughed. "You imbecile. Your water attacks won't work on me. Since I possess the same powers as you, I'm immune to your abilities."
"Ha! Like we'd let that stop us!" Sailor Mars said before shooting fire out of her right index finger at OctoWanda, hitting her.
AHH!" OctoWanda screamed in pain from the attack.
"Well, here we go. The battle starts right now." Sailor Moon said.
"Sounds good!" Eudial said before firing a shot out of her bazooka, with the shot hitting Sailor Mars and knocking her down.
"Mars, no!" Sailor Moon said as she turned to face Sailor Mars.
Sailor Mars stood up. "It's okay. I'm fine."
"Show us more of the powers you and your super friends possess! Give us everything you've got! But we won't lose to you! We will over-power you!" Mimete said. "Charm Buster!" She said, firing the attack out of her staff, followed by it hitting Sailor Moon.
AAAHHH!" Sailor Moon screamed as she was sent flying back and crashed into the wall.
"Sailor Moon!" The gang shouted.
"Now do you understand? Even all your raw force of will and your precious elemental attacks cannot beat us." Tellu said. "Hahahaha!"
"It's not over?!" Sailor Moon said.
"Huh?" Tellu said.
Sailor Moon stood up. "I'm still able to fight! The battle is not over yet, do you hear me?!"
"You don't give up. Fine then. I'll decide it with this next attack! I'll make sure you and the rest of your super friends here stop moving for good!" OctoWanda said. "Water Pulse!" She said before a pulse of water formed between her hands, followed by her firing it at Sailor Moon, causing an explosion.
"It's over." OctoWanda said. But when the smoke cleared, she gasped at what she saw. Standing before her was Sailor Moon, completely unharmed.
The young Trib-Force stared in awe.
"What is this?!" Darrion gasped.
"No way!" Villuy gasped.
"It can't be!" OctoWanda said. "How is it that you were able to withstand my strong attack! How can you still be standing?! This is impossible! Totally unthinkable!"
"Everyone...lend me your power so that I can beat this dark force." Sailor Moon said.
"As you wish!" The Senshi said before the jewels in the center of their tiaras lit up the way they did during the final battle against the Pharaoh 90.
The symbols of the Senshi's planets then exited the jewels of the tiaras and went into Sailor Moon and she started glowing a bright light, just like she did when she was in the black dream hole.
The Tiare twirled and spun like a baton in her hands before turning into the moon kaleidoscope before Sailor Moon.
The moon gorgeous rod began playing it's jingle music as Super Sailor Moon grabbed ahold of it. "Moon Gorgeous Meditation!" She said as she pointed the OctoWanda, firing the attack.
"NOOOOOO!" OctoWanda screamed as the attack came her way. The attack then hit her, turning her into glass, followed by her exploding into shards. "Nooooooooo!" She screamed for the last time, with her last word echoing throughout the room before it faded into silence.
"And now you're the only ones left!" Super Sailor Moon said to Kaolinite and the Witches 5.
"Why, you-" Cyprine and Pitolrol were then cut off by a red rose that struck the floor.
Everyone in the room turned to see Tuxedo Mask.
"So many people have already been deceived by the new world system. How dare you involve innocent children in it too by making the Global Community take them from their homes." Tuxedo Mask said.
"Tuxedo Mask! You're here!" Sailor Moon said excitedly.
"Looks like the party started without me." Tuxedo Mask said.
"And it's about to end." Sailor Jupiter said.
"Tuxedo Mask, what are you doing here? How did you know we'd be here? How did you get here?" Sailor Moon asked.
"There's no time to explain. The GC has evacuated the camp and have left with nearly all of the children. The only ones that are here are Shingo and four other kids and they're in serious trouble." Tuxedo Mask explained.
"What?!" Sailor Moon gasped.
"Can you be cold, Princess? You but two choices on your scale. What will you do? Chase the GC...or save the remaining brats?" Kaolinite taunted.
"Ha! Your emotions make you weak. That's why the other children are ours." Eudial said.
"We'll get ya next time." Mimete said.
"And as for one of you in this room...some eternal summer forever and ever and ever..." Villuy said.
"Aloha, suckers." Tellu said.
Kaolinite and the Witches 5 then disappeared in puffs of black smoke.
Super Sailor Moon pointed the moon gorgeous rod up at the ceiling and fired an attack at it, creating a hole in it. She then flew up to the ceiling, exiting through the hole.
"Sailor Moon!" The Senshi, the Star Senshi and the kids Trib-force said.
"Let's help her." Uranus said to Neptune.
"Right." Neptune said.
Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune then leapt up through the hole, exiting the building.
Lionel then looked at the computers remembering those creeps said about knowing the senshi's identities. He elbows Judd and points to the computers. It didn't take long for Judd to figure out what he's thinking.
The boys hurried to the computers, and got to hacking. They were able to bypass the security and access confidential files containing footage, background information and even the identities of the Sailor senshi.
Sailor Mercury turned and noticed what they were up to. "What are you doing?!
"Making sure your secrets remain safe!" Lionel replied as he typed in one last command ensuring his words.
He'd attached a dangerous virus to one of the false files which would activate even of the GC attempt to retrieve the information.
"And now for the final K.O.!" Judd added. "Oldest form of losing data: Sabotage."
That was when Vicki and Shelley notice a coffee maker on a nearby, they both nod and take it.
"Back up, this is gonna get messy!" Vicki warned.
Instantly the girls spill the liquid all over the controls, causing the machine to fizzle and smoke. Nearby the Graham siblings destroy all the floppy disks, CDS, and usbs they could find.
This should save the senshi all the time they need to keep their secret identities under wraps.
As Sailor Moon soared through the sky looking around for any sign of Shingo, she took the time to gaze the One World camp. Aside from all the burnt-up grass and trees, it looked like any other normal camp. It had a cafeteria lodge, bunk cabins, a beautiful lake—however there were no ripples – and another camp on the other side of it, a medical shelter, a storage facility, a canoe and boat enclosure. The usual things a summer camp would have. It all looked so...normal. But she knew better. If her history as a super hero taught her anything, it was this: If something looks too good to be true...it is. This summer camp was just a mask for the GC to cover up whatever it was they were doing to these kids.
Sailor Moon then noticed four GC men with Shingo and three other boys in an area of the burnt forest. 'Shingo.' She thought to herself. She stopped glowing white and flew down to the area, landing behind a burnt tree. The teenage super heroine watched the scene from behind the tree. What stunned her was the fact that Shingo and the other three boys were each holding a riffle like the GC men. Lionel hadn't been kidding when he said that the GC were training kids to shoot guns.
Shingo wore a white sleeve t-shirt, a tan pocket best, tan pants-like knee-length shorts, white pushed down socks, light brown hiking-boots, and he wore a blue watch on his right wrist.
She then examined the other three boys. One of the other boys was American and looked to be about 13 years old. He had fiery red hair, hazel eyes, and freckles on his face. He wore a blue watch on his left wrist, a yellow shirt sleeve t-shirt, a dark blue best with pockets, tan pants-like knee-length shorts, white socks and black hiking-boots.
The third boy was Mexican and appeared to be 14. He had black hair and brown eyes. He wore a dark blue half buttoned-up short sleeve shirt, a white undershirt, tan pants, black slip-on laceless sneakers, and he wore a blue watch on his right wrist.
The fourth boy reminded Sailor Moon of Lionel. He was African American and looked to be 15, he had black hair and brown eyes and he was a little heavy-set. He wore a black shirt sleeve shirt, camo pants and red sneakers with white trims, and he wore a blue watch on his right wrist.
"What are we doing here?" Shingo asked.
"Is the camp-out over?" The red-haired American boy asked.
"Is this target practice?" The Mexican boy asked.
All four boys laughed nervously.
"Listen up. No more jokes. This is serious business." said a GC man wearing black sunglasses. The leader, no doubt, since he was the only one wearing them.
"Yes, sir." Shingo and the other boys said.
"The aliens have broken into the camp and are currently attacking the place. The alien invaders are here, boys. They're nearby. Your guns are loaded. Aim carefully when you see them. They won't get away this time." The lead GC man said.
"You mean...we're supposed to shoot them?" Shingo asked dubiously.
"Yeah. You're supposed to shoot them. I told you they're attacking the camp." The lead GC man said.
"But...but we can't." Shingo said.
"Hey, it's easy, ya aim and fire." The lead GC man said.
"No, as in we can't just kill people." Shingo said.
"I did not say anything about killin', did I?" The lead GC man said.
"No, sir." The other three boys said.
"These are aliens, not people. And anyway, these guns are loaded with tranquilizer darts. We just wanna stop these aliens, not hurt them. You got a problem with that...Shingo?" The lead GC man said.
Sailor Moon watched as the lead GC man took two steps toward Shingo and stood over him menacingly, lowering his face close to the 12-year-old Japanese boy's. He was challenging him. She saw the other boys back away terrified. Shingo took a step back. Then another.
"I said...you got a problem with that?" The lead GC man said.
"I won't do it!" Shingo said before pointing his riffle at the lead GC man.
Sailor Moon was shocked by this. She had never seen her brother hold a gun, much less point one at someone else. But he had been in the GC's custody for six weeks, so he was likely a different person now.
"Don't you dare point that rifle at me! Drop it, Jap boy, or you're gonna be sorry!" The lead GC man said.
"No! I'm not gonna to hunt a bunch of alien girls! Camp's over! You're not going to do anything!" Shingo said.
"Give me the rifle, Tsukino!" The lead GC man ordered. "Hand it over, boy." He said sternly.
"I'm not taking any more orders from you again! Ever!" Shingo said.
"Hand it over NOW!" The lead GC man said.
"NO!" Shingo screamed.
"Hold it right there!" Sailor Moon said as she stepped out from behind the tree and into view.
"Huh?" The GC men said as they turned to see Sailor Moon.
"How dare you! Camp is a place where kids come to have fun and relax all summer long! If you think I'm gonna let you get away with tainting it's good name by corrupting those children, think again! Children are our future and I will never let you mess that up!" Super Sailor Moon. "I'm Sailor Moon!" She said, beginning her pose. "And by the will of the Most High...you will be judged!" She said, finishing her pose.
"Sailor Moon." The lead GC man said.
"Upgraded and ready to fight, pal." Sailor Moon said.
"You better get lost while you still can." The lead GC man said.
"Couldn't find any more adults wet behind the ears to recruit into your system?" Sailor Moon asked. "It's incredible how some people are still stupid enough to break the law. You know my friends and I are gonna stop you."
"Let's wipe out this Supergirl." said the lead GC man before he and the other GC men aimed their rifles at Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon then started glowing white again.
"Huh?" The lead GC man said in confusion.
"Well, look what we have here. You're in trouble now." Sailor Moon said.
"Nice light show. Too bad it has to be cut short." The lead GC man said before firing his riffle, only for the dart to disappear when it hit Super Sailor Moon. "What?! But-but that's impossible! I shot you point blank!" He gasped.
"Yeah, you did. I guess I must be bullet proof." Sailor Moon commented.
"Fire!" The lead GC man ordered.
The other three GC men fired their rifles, but all of the darts instantly vanished when they hit Super Sailor Moon.
"No way!" The second GC man gasped.
"Not possible!" The third GC man added.
"How is she doing that?!" The fourth GC man said.
"I don't believe it. Our shots had no effect." The lead GC man said.
"Mine will." Sailor Moon said. "Moon Gorgeous Meditation!" She said, aiming the moon gorgeous at the lead GC man's rifle, followed by firing the attack.
"AAAAAAAHHH!" The lead GC screamed as the attack came towards him, followed by hitting the gun and turning it into glass, then it shattered into pieces causing the man to yelp and drop it.
"And that's just with a weapon, I don't think you want to find out what it'll do to an opponent."
The men looked at Sailor Moon shocked and scared.
"What, you guys want some too?!" Sailor Moon asked as she aimed the moon gorgeous rod at the GC men. "Get out of here or you guys are next!"
The GC men dropped their guns and took off running and screaming. Shingo and the other boys dropped their rifles, stunned by what they just witnessed. Sailor Moon lowered the rod, which disappeared, and she stopped glowing white. "Are you kids okay?"
"Yeah." Shingo and the other kids answered.
Tears filled Sailor Moon's eyes. "Shingo!" She said as she rushed up to her little brother and embraced him with a hug. "Oh, thank Heaven you're safe! I was so worried about you!" She said as the tears ran down her face. She never thought she'd be so happy to see her brother of all people. Although she was amazed that he and the other kids had managed to survive the global earthquake/meteor shower and the burning of the grass and trees.
"Whoa!" The other three boys said as they stared wide-eyed at Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Moon!" came several voices.
Sailor Moon turned to see the Senshi, the Starlights, Tuxedo Mask, and the Trib-force running toward her, with Lionel limping. The only ones who weren't with them were Uranus and Neptune. All of the Senshi had also back in Eternal Sailor Senshi selves.
"Everyone!" Sailor Moon said happily.
The gang rushed up to Sailor Moon and the four boys.
"Are you alright, Sailor Moon?" Tuxedo Mask asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. And so are Shingo and the other kids." Sailor Moon said.
"Sailor Moon!" Said two female voices.
The gang looked up and saw Uranus and Neptune, also their Eternal selves again, descending down from the sky while holding hands with an Asian girl. The two Outer Senshi and the girl landed where the group was. The girl appeared to be 13, she had black hair in two ponytails and her eyes were brown. She wore a white short sleeve t-shirt, blue shorts, pink and white sneakers with white lacess, and she wore a pink watch on her right wrist.
"Is everything okay?" Uranus asked.
"Yeah. Everything's fine, but...what's with the girl?" Sailor Moon said.
"We rescued her from two GC men on our way here to help you. But it looks like you handled everything well." Neptune said.
"Yeah. I guess I did." Sailor Moon said.
"What's with all this hugging, and who are you, and how do you know my name?" Shingo asked.
Sailor Moon's face changed from relief to shock and she let go of her brother and looked at him. "What do you mean? Shingo, it's me, Usagi. Your sister."
"I have a sister?" Shingo asked, stunned, as if hearing this information for the first time.
"Shingo...what is your last name?" Sailor Moon questioned, feeling a cold pit in her stomach.
"...I don't know." Shingo answered.
It was in that moment Sailor Moon realized what was wrong. "You don't know who I am, do you?"
"Sorry." Shingo said, shrugging his shoulder.
"You really don't know who she is?" Sailor Mercury asked.
"Should I?" Shingo asked.
"Oh, no." Sailor Moon gasped. Her brother really didn't remember her...or anything about himself except his first name. How would he react when he saw their parents? Would he not know them too? "Come on. Let's get out of here. I'll explain everything on the way back home."
"Okay." Shingo said.
Sailor Moon turned to the others. "Alright, Sailor Pluto, take us to the jet."
"Right." Sailor Pluto said before raising her staff. The jewel in her staff glowed pink and a pink orb formed around the whole group and the disappeared, then reappeared in the area where the jet was parked. "Okay, everyone, on board the jet now."
Just then, a missile hit the jet and it exploded, with the force of the blast knocking everyone to the ground. Sailor Moon and the group looked at the burning-smoldering spot where the jet once been and watched as it's remains burned before them. Their only ride out of here...gone.
Three GC fighter jets surrounded the spot where the group was in the air.
"This is the GC! Everybody stop right where you are!" came a male GC voice inside the middle jet. "We will not let you leave with those children!"
"It's those three GC men who were with Shingo and the other kids! I thought I told them to get lost!" Sailor Moon said.
"Put your hands up! You are all under arrest!" said the GC man in the middle jet.
But Sailor Moon was not about to surrender. Not all she'd gone through to get her brother back. She had gone through so much to be reunited with Shingo and she was not about to let it end like this. She then transformed into Princess Sailor Moon, with her blue eyes now black and soulless, and her sword appeared in her right hand.
Those in the group who had been present during the carnival incident were all scared while those who hadn't been simply mind-blown.
"What in the world?!" The GC man in the middle jet gasped.
Princess Sailor Moon drew a big star with her sword and then fired it at the middle jet, blowing it up and killing the GC inside. She the zapped the second jet with her sword, blowing it up too, followed by zapping the third jet with her sword and blowing it up as well. The last two had ejected out of the jets at the last minute.
The whole group were just baffled by what they had just seen.
Princess Sailor Moon then flew up into the sky and began zapping the buildings of the camp with her sword, blowing them up. As she did so a number of soldiers fled out of the building shouting and screaming.
"What is she doing?!" Taylor asked. "I thought you guys didn't believe in murder!"
"She's destroying the camp! I guess she wants to make sure the GC can't use this place to house and corrupt more kids!" Sailor Venus said unnerved.
"But she's not gonna like this when she snaps out of it…"
Princess Sailor Moon zapped and blew up more and more buildings with her sword. She soon stopped and looked around at all the burning buildings, followed by focusing on the command center. The last remaining building. She then aimed her sword at the command center and zapped it, making it explode. She then descended back down on the ground where the group was.
"Wow. I'll never make fun of girls again." Conrad said, staring wide-eyed, along with everyone else.
Princess Sailor Moon's sword then disappeared and she transformed back into Eternal Sailor Moon, with her black souless eyes returning to blue.
"Sailor Moon, are you alright?" Tuxedo Mask asked, taking her by the arms.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but...what happened?" Sailor Moon said.
"We'll explain later. Right now we must leave before the authorities show up. Chances are the survivors have already contacted them and informed them of what has happened." Sailor Pluto said.
"Well, I'm all for us getting out of here, but...how? Our jet was destroyed. How are we gonna get out of here?" Sailor Moon said.
The gang then heard the sound of a plane and looked up and saw a private plane descending down from the sky. The plane then landed in the area where the gang was.
"That's how." Tuxedo Mask said.
"Where did that plane come from?" Sailor Star Fighter asked.
"It's how I got here. It was my ride." Tuxedo Mask answered with a smile.
"Who's flying it?" Sailor Star Healer asked.
The plane's door then opened, letting it's steps down, revealing Captain Rayford Steele on the inside.
"Hey, need a lift?!" Rayford called.
"Mr. Steele!" Sailor Moon said excitedly.
"What?! Did I come too late?!" Rayford asked.
"You came just in time, Mr. Steele!" Sailor Moon said.
"Who's he?" Shingo asked.
"A friend, Shingo." Sailor Moon said, with a smile on her face. "A really good friend." She glad that Mr. Steele had come through for her and the others, despite of his grief over his wife's tragic death.
Shingo and the other four kids took off their watches and threw them on the ground.
Sailor Moon, the Senshi, the Star Senshi, the kids Trib-force, Tuxedo Mask, Shingo and the other four kids the rushed onto the plane and Rayford let up the steps, closing the door. The plane then ascended into the sky and flew off, leaving the burning Camp One World behind...forever.
Several weeks later
Shingo and the boys were taken to the Command Center in Okutama. The Tsukinos were utterly relieved to see him alive, save for the obvious memory loss and the shock of seeing Princess Sailor Moon in action. Usagi was already shaken enough as it was, for it was twice already in which she caused such cold-blooded destruction.
There was also another pressing matter, the Sailor senshi were talking about splitting up in different directions. Usagi would be joining Mamoru to Israel with Ami, Makoto persisted on coming along for the meeting of the witnesses.
Now that Rei made a full recovery, she, Minako and the Sailor Starlights hurry to the USA to give their younger friends a hand. For Hotaru would be remaining with the Young Trib force – she'd finally revealed her survival to a surprised Charlie. Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna were already working with the original Tribulation force in an undisclosed location.
Many of their other friends and allies were either headed for the Command Center in secret or to the Addams safehouse with the Spectre sisters.
While Luna and Artemis had followed Mr. Stein, and the cats contemplated on where they should be going… but a sudden news report send them, Judd and Mr. Stein to the schoolhouse where everyone was. Another comet was headed for Earth: Wormwood.
"The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter."
They reached the schoolhouse, already there video reports that showed fragments falling on Paris, London, New Babylon Seattle and Bangkok.
Usagi was talking to her family who were at the Command Center with the other refugees listening in. "I think you all should stay in the bunker until we're certain this passed. Those groups of bottled water ought to last you a few months or so until the next safe rainfall." She directed her gaze to the rest in the Center. "Naru, Umino, Saki, you three keep up the research on the new prophecies you all need to be ready for anything."
"Got it." Umino adjusted his glasses seriously.
"Roger that." Saki and Naru nodded.
Charlie! Hotaru's alarmed voice cried, making the senshi jump.
Phoenix barked. "What's Phoenix doing outside?" Vicki said. "We locked him up so he wouldn't drink any of the bad water."
"Well, he's out there on the ground with Charlie," Judd said.
The well!
Vicki rushed downstairs with Judd, Lionel, Rei and Ami right behind her. Charlie coughed and sputtered as he lay on the ground. He grabbed his neck. A worried Hotaru was leaning over him, trying to pat his back in an attempt to force out any remaining water tainted by wormwood.
"What happened?" Vicki asked then addressed Charlie. "Did you drink from the well?"
"Only a little," Charlie said.
"We told you to leave it alone," Rei rebuked softly.
"I know," Charlie said, "I saw those girls and they asked for a drink."
"What girls?" Judd said, out of breath. Ami, Rei and Hotaru's ears perked up.
"I don't know their names," Charlie said. "I just remember 'em from back home."
"What'd they look like?" Lionel said.
"I don't know," Charlie said, coughing and sputtering harder.
"He's hallucinating," Judd said. "Get him a drink of good water."
Vicki rushed to find a bottle. Phoenix followed, allowing her to lock the dog safely away. When she returned, Judd and Lionel had Charlie sitting up on the porch. While Hotaru was feeling his forehead and Ami was gently asking him questions regarding his current health.
"Do you feel any chills?"
"Chills?" Charlie looked at Ami.
"You know, shivering like you're cold?"
"No," Charlie shook his head.
"What about your head? Do you feel dizzy?" Hotaru asked.
"Uh little, it just tastes…"
"Just breathe slowly until you feel a little better, Vicki brought you some water." Ami soothed kindly.
Vicki brought him bottled water. Charlie drank deeply, but still seemed queasy from the well water. "It was so sour," Charlie said. "I can't get the taste out of my mouth."
"It's lucky you didn't drink more," Judd said.
"One of the girls did," Charlie said as they led him inside.
Judd rolled his eyes, not believing it. "He must've imagined it."
"I'm not so sure…" Rei said with a suspicious frown.
That evening everyone was gathered. Rei and Minako had both gone to fetch firewood for the evening, they could hear Mr. Stein's voice from inside the schoolhouse.
Mr. Stein asked to say something before the meeting began. "I appreciate all you've done for me. I have been insistent on going to Israel. It has been my main goal since becoming a follower of Jesus. But it looks as if the meeting will begin next week, and I still have no way to get there."
"What about a commercial flight?" Lionel said.
"If I were able to change my identity like you have," Mr. Stein said, "I would do it. But I'm afraid it's too risky. I have enough money to buy my own plane, but I have no access to a pilot. I can only assume it is not God's will that I should go."
The kids groaned from inside. "Minako!" Rei suddenly hissed. "We've got company!"
Minako followed her gaze then froze. "Hey, I know those girls! But they're bad news!"
For the blonde had recognized the two younger and armed girls edging towards the entrance. Two girls. One had her arm over the other one's shoulder and looked pale. The other held a gun. Their clothes were in tatters, their hair out of place. They looked hungry and exhausted. But there was no mistake. These were the two surviving Morale Monitors of the Global Community, Melinda and Felicia.
The door was shoved open.
"Stay where you are, Stein!" the girl with the gun yelled. "Nobody moves!"
"Everybody on the ground!" Melinda shouted.
