Act LI
The Legendary Serpent

Sailor Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn were at the Crystal Tokyo Palace, protecting Mamoru and Usagi from the onslaught of energy blasts from the crag.

"This crag is losing its power," noticed Hadding.

Balmunk ran up the stairs saying, "Come look outside the window."

The sailor senshi were fighting Yamata no Orochi. "They're foolish enough to fight him. It will be their undoing," said Hadding.

"This will be a quick battle," said Yamata no Orochi. He countered their attacks with his fiery breath weapon from each of his eight heads.

"Let's combine our attacks," suggested Sailor Earth. It didn't turn out to be very effective.

He knocked them over with his long tail.

"We'll take him down," said Sailor Vesta.

The Sailor Quartet combined their energy together, using their Amazoness Jungle Arrow attack. The large, sharp, four foot long arrow pierced through his fiery breath, striking him in the chest and exiting his back. He roared in agony.

Sailor Tsukineko used her new Hyper Sonic Slicer attack, severing one of his heads.

The Sailor Quartet was beating him with steel pool sticks. He cut through their pool sticks with the sharp end of his tail.

While Yamata no Orochi was busy fighting the Sailor Quartet, Sailor Tsukineko cut off the end of his tail with her Hyper Sonic Slicer attack.

His remaining seven heads were blowing fire in all directions. Sailor Virago could see the hilt of a sword sticking out of his severed tail. She pulled it out. Engraved words on the sword read, "Enhanced Kusanagi".

Yamata no Orochi saw her holding the sword and blew fire at her. She held up the sword, reflecting the fire back at him, burning his head badly. She ran up to him, stabbing the sword deep in his right side, causing blood to gush out.

He flapped his wings, causing a large gust of wind to blow them down. He ascended 40 feet into the sky. He used his nuclear fire breath weapon attack. A large tunnel of nuclear fire headed towards them.

A white light surrounded them, causing the nuclear fire to go right through them as if they weren't even there. The light faded, Sailor Menard appeared.

"Where have you been?" asked Sailor Chibimoon.

"I was training with Helios. I would've come sooner had I known you were fighting Yamata no Orochi. I can only hold him off for a short time," replied Sailor Menard.

"Why hasn't he ever trained with me?" thought Sailor Chibimoon.

Sailor Palus used her Gem Hail attack. Large, sharp crystals three times the size of bowling balls descended upon Yamata no Orochi. He was struck hard. The gem hail ripped holes through his wings. He fell to the ground, shaking the ground upon impact.

"Let's finish this," said Sailor Chibimoon. She used her new attack called Holy Purity Blast. He was destroyed.

"Hitoshi Doi told us the barrier would be down by now," said Sailor Vesta.

Sailor Chibimoon's cell phone rang. It was Mr. Doi.

"Hi, I'm calling to tell you that my calculations were a little off. The energy I extracted from the crag wasn't enough to get rid of the barrier. However, if you can use a strong enough attack, it should be enough to destroy the barrier around the crag."

"Okay, we'll try that out."

"I am so sorry for the mistake. I can't believe I let down some of my favorite magical shoujo."

"Don't worry about it."

"Good luck. If there's anything else I can help you with, let me know."

"The patented sailor planet power attack thingy should do the job," said Sailor Tsukineko.

"That's a good idea," agreed Sailor Chibimoon.

Sailor Chibimoon, Sailor Menard and the Sailor Quartet formed a circle. The rest of the sailor senshi formed a second circle. Both of the circles made a figure eight. The double sailor planet power meditation attack destroyed the barrier.

The two ginzuishou in the super servers at Hitoshi Doi's residence were overwhelmed with the vast influx of power from the country. They shattered. The super servers were fried with smoke coming out from their motherboards. Hitoshi Doi used a fire extinguisher on them.

"Let's go get Kousagi," ordered Sailor Chibimoon, leading the way up the large, white staircase.

"The sailor senshi have infiltrated the crag," informed Yuunshi.

"You three go stop them. I'm going to take Kousagi to the teleport chambers," ordered Hadding.

"The crag in the western hemisphere is completed?" asked Perplexius.

"Yes, I was just speaking with the ambassador on my linkshell when he told me of the good news," answered Hadding.

Hadding entered Kousagi's holding cell. "They're here, aren't they? You guys are going to be really sorry for kidnapping me."

"Shut up. It's time for you to be taken to our master, the ambassador."

He released Kousagi from her shackles, trapping her in a magical cage which floated in the air above him.

The sailor senshi were wandering around the crag, looking for Kousagi. Yuunshi, Perplexius and Balmunk approached them.

"Where is my sister? What have you done with her?"

"She is already on her way to see our master, the ambassador," replied Balmunk.

"You should be concerned about your own lives right now," threatened Yuunshi.

"You guys are so dead," replied Sailor Star.

"You guys stay here and fight these goons. We'll find Kousagi," said Sailor Juno, using her smoke screen ability. When the smoke cleared, the Sailor Quartet had disappeared.

"Hadding will take care of them. We'll take care of these guys," assured Perplexius.

"How about we show them our skill chain attack, boys?" asked Yuunshi.

"Let's do it. We'll wipe the floor with you," agreed Balmunk.

Balmunk used his raging fists attack, followed by Yuunshi's red lotus blade attack and ended by Perplexius' full break attack. A dark distortion was formed, blasting the sailor senshi to the ground, leaving Sailor Earth, Star and Kurozuki unconscious.

"That would've killed you if Hadding would've been here to create a magic burst," boasted Yuunshi.

Kousagi saw the Sailor Quartet yelling, "I'm over here!"

Hadding ran up the stairs as quickly as he could with his short taru taru legs.

Sailor Celis used her reverse jewel ability, switching places with Hadding.

"What happened to that short, annoying guy?" asked Kousagi.

"I switched places with him. How do I get you out of here?" asked Sailor Celis.

"I don't know. There's no key. This cage is magically sealed."

Hadding found himself surrounded by Sailor Vesta, Juno and Palus. "What the hell just happened?" asked Hadding.

"It's time to get an ass whopping," said Sailor Vesta.

Hadding used an escape spell and disappeared.

"Damn, we almost had him," said Sailor Palus.

Hadding reappeared next to Sailor Celis. He used a stone II spell on her. She was caught off guard, being pelted by rocks.

Hadding ran towards the teleport chamber with Kousagi. He arrived at the teleport location and began casting a teleport spell.

"Sealing Crown!" said Sailor Vesta.

The teleport chamber was sealed off, preventing him from teleporting. "You're not going anywhere, little man," said Sailor Vesta.

"Are you okay, Sailor Celis?"

"I'll be fine. Just take out that little squirt for me."

The other sailor senshi were fighting the three goons. Balmunk ran towards them like a mad man, flailing his claws. "I'll take care of this one," said Sailor Menard.

Two white bayonets appeared in her hands. She blocked Balmunk's swinging claws with the bayonets, getting into a hand to hand fight.

Sailor Virago, Chibimoon and Tsukineko were using their attacks on Perplexius and Yuunshi. Yuunshi used her shield to block them and Perplexius' armor protected him.

"Seems like the Bar-all spell I cast on us worked," said Yuunshi.

Yuunshi cast Aquaveil on herself and enthunder on both their weapons.

Perplexius cast Flash, blinding them.

Perplexius and Yuunshi struck their weapons on the ground, causing electrical currents to spread across the floor. The sailor senshi were shocked.

Balmunk used his Chi Blast attack, knocking Sailor Menard down. Balmunk walked over to her. Sailor Menard quickly got up off the ground, stabbing him through the stomach with a bayonet. Balmunk fell over dead with blood everywhere.

"It better not stain my bayonets," thought Sailor Menard.

Sailor Chibimoon, Virago and Tsukineko were lying on the ground.

Sailor Menard ran over to Perplexius, attacking him with her bayonets. Her bayonets couldn't penetrate his armor, however.

Perplexius cast Banish II on her, throwing her across the room. Perplexius and Yuunshi walked over to Sailor Chibimoon, Virago and Tsukineko.

Sailor Menard pulled out a bottle with a reddish-white liquid in it. On the bottle read, "Wine of Dionysus." It was something Helios had given her during training.

She took off the cork and drank it. She turned into a large, beautiful beast. The beast had white feathers all over its body.

She pounced on Perplexius from behind, knocking him down. She tore through his armor with her large, powerful jaws, ripping off some of his limbs in the process. Perplexius yelled in horror and died.

Yuunshi was freaked out and ran away.

The effects of the wine wore off; Sailor Menard turned back to normal. She was disoriented and dizzy from the effects of the liquid and passed out.

Before Yuunshi could get too far, Sailor Chibimoon, Virago and Tsukineko combined their attacks, destroying her. There was only some of her armor left, lying on the stairs.

Hadding summoned a dark spirit to fight by his side against the Sailor Quartet. The Quartet eventually destroyed it.

Hadding cast Choke on them. They were running out of air. "I think I'll watch you slowly die. I'll figure out a way of removing this magical seal you put around the teleport chamber in the mean time," said Hadding.

Sailor Chibimoon, Tsukineko and Virago walked upstairs to the top floor where the teleport chamber was.

Hadding broke through the seal put around the teleport area. He turned around, casting flare on them. There was a large explosion from the nuclear blast. Chibimoon, Tsukineko and Virago were barely conscious.

"You can't get the best of me. I will take Kousagi to ambassador Uranus."

He began casting a teleport spell.

"Masse Choler Explosion!" said Sailor Earth. His spell struck Hadding and the teleport chamber. Hadding's spell casting was interrupted, and the teleport area was damaged from the attack.

Hadding disappeared, being teleported to another location. Kousagi, however, remained at the crag. The cage she was in disappeared. The choke spell wore off.

Ambassador Uranus was waiting by the teleport chamber in the newly constructed crag. The teleport chamber was acting strangely, not working correctly. Hadding was teleported inside a wall, instantly dying.

Ambassador Uranus could see two taru taru hands sticking out of the wall. "Those fools failed their mission. Oh well, it doesn't matter. The sailor senshi will come to me soon enough," said the ambassador.
