Giants among Sailor Senshi
The foot prints led them further
north-west of the oasis, where they abruptly ended. "This doesn't make any
sense, the foot prints end in the middle of nowhere," noticed Mia.
"Maybe the wind blew them
away," thought Rie.
"But the foot prints behind us
are still there," stated Feral Heart.
"Then they must've covered
their tracks somehow," thought Vasteel, searching the area. She
disappeared while searching.
"Vasteel? Where did you go?" asked Kousagi.
Vasteel reappeared before them
again. "I found a giant, hidden sand castle. It's concealed by some sort
of invisibility spell."
They followed her. The footprints
continued onward, inside the castle.
"Stay together and keep
quiet," cautioned Vasteel.
There was a large, open room with a
ceiling fifteen feet from the sand floor. There were two doorways and two
winding staircases leading upward.
They could hear some voices from
above. Vasteel peeked through the doorways, making sure it was clear. The
furniture was a larger than normal, as was everything else in the house. After
going upstairs, there were two long hallways, leading in opposite directions.
They heard someone in the east wing. "I hear four different voices; one of
them is Omatase's," said Feral Heart.
Omatase was tied up, hanging from
the ceiling. There was a large pot of boiling water in the room, with three
tall people, nearly eight feet tall. "Let our friend go now and we'll
leave peacefully," promised Sailor Parallel Moon.
The three men turned around, being
surprised. "It's been so long since we've seen other sailor senshi out
here," commented one of the men.
They transformed into sailor senshi.
They were Sailor Mimas, Enceladus and Iapetus. The three of them were wearing kilts
and a sash across their chests.
"Male
sailor senshi? Isn't that impossible?" said
Sailor Io, confusedly.
"It's a rare occurrence, but it
does happen. I've seen it once before," answered Sailor Parallel Moon.
"Anyone from the council of
princesses is our enemy, so prepare to fight," warned Sailor Ares.
"What did you say? The council? We're not a part of them," said Sailor
Mimas, in disgust.
"We hate the council,"
added Sailor Iapetus.
"Really? Then why did you kidnap our friend?" asked Sailor
Marina.
"You mean this little taru
taru? We thought he looked tasty and decided to eat him," explained Sailor
Enceladus.
"Why aren't you guys with the
council? Every other sailor senshi seems to be," asked Sailor Magellan.
"We were never a part of the
council. They hate men. As soon as they knew of our existence, they tried to
kill us. They chased us out of our homes, calling us abominations. They can't
stand the fact that any male would have the power of a sailor senshi. We've
been in hiding ever since. We use the power of mirages to conceal ourselves in
this desert," explained Sailor Enceladus.
"You should join us. We are
against them, too," suggested Sailor Parallel Moon.
"It's too risky. We stand out
like a sore thumb, we'd get you caught. Besides, we owe allegiance to no one
but ourselves," replied Sailor Iapetus.
"How disappointing," said
Sailor Parallel Moon.
"We'll be on our way. But we do
need our taru taru friend back before we go," said Vasteel.
"I'm afraid we can't do that. Food
is scarce out here and taru tarus are quite tasty," replied Sailor Mimas.
"Is that so? Then I guess we'll
have to take our friend back by force," threatened Sailor Parallel Moon.
"If I could get free, I'd cast
high level spells on you," threatened Omatase.
"It will be a shame to kill you
before seeing if you can destroy the council," said Sailor Iapetus.
Vasteel threw poison tipped daggers
at the them. A small shield covering their arms
deflected the daggers.
Feral Heart cast Phalanx II on
everyone, granting them some protection.
Sailor Magellan attacked them with
solar heart beams, but Sailor Enceladus countered with his fiery Etna breath.
Sailor Marina's icy water streams
slowed them down with coldness, and Sailor Io's dancing electric current
stunned them. "These guys won't go down," said Sailor Marina.
Crater rocks were flying out of a
giant hole in Sailor Mimas' hands. The rocks were too dense and solid to break.
The rocks nicked some of them, flying into the walls and breaking things.
Sailor Iapetus summoned a sand
storm, blinding them.
Sailor Enceladus used his strike of
Enceladus attack, causing the floor beneath everyone to crumble. Everyone fell
down to the main level of the house.
Sailor Enceladus fell on his side on
a sharp stone. He was groaning in pain. While he was tending to his bleeding
wound, the other two ran towards them from the other side of the room.
Sailor Ares covered the sandy floor
with hot flames. The heat caused the sand to become glass. Sailor Iapetus and
Mimas shattered the glass floor with the stomping of their large feet.
The sailor senshi and Feral Heart
combined their attacks, being enough power to knock the giants over.
Omatase joined them after being
released.
The three male sailor senshi were
lying on the ground. "Are they dead?" asked Sailor Magellan.
Sailor Io walked over to them,
examining them. "One of them has already bled to death, and the other two
are unconscious."
"Should we kill the last
two?" asked Vasteel.
"No. They've already been
through enough, thanks to the council," answered Sailor Parallel Moon.
"Wow, look at the size of these
things," said Sailor Magellan. She looked up their skirts and pulled down
their jock straps.
"Wow, you don't see them that
big very often. I'll be right back," said Sailor Ares, walking away with
her dildo.
"You guys are so perverted.
Let's get out of here," ordered Omatase.
"Not yet!" said Sailor
Ares.
"Save up your sexual energy for
later," said Sailor Io.
They left the castle, heading
northwest. They were in the western Altepa desert.
They were traveling north to Rabao.
There were Traliz warriors heading their direction. "Crap! Change of
plans. Let's go hide over there," said Omatase, pointing to some sand
dunes.
The warriors went to the eastern
Altepa desert. "That was a close one," said Tokamo.
Something bumped up against Feral
Heart. There was a cactuar behind her. "Ouch! Watch where you're going;
those cactus thorns are prickly."
The cactuar tugged on her bag of
junk. "Stop it. This is mine."
The cactuar pointed at the bag,
jumping up and down as if it were upset. "You better give it what it
wants, or end up getting 1,000 needles in your ass," warned Vasteel.
"We can kill this," said
Feral Heart.
"We can't risk bringing any
attention to ourselves. There are Traliz warriors close by," reasoned
Omatase.
"Go ahead, take it you little
runt, it's almost empty anyway." Feral Heart gave it the bag. The cactuar
was pleased, running off with the bag.
"Stay here. We can't risk any
of you being seen. I have to get something from Rabao," ordered Omatase.
He walked over to the Rabao spring,
in the middle of the desert town, getting out a large vase with eyes painted
all over it. He took off the lid and drew some spring water into it.
"That was fast," said Nami,
upon Omatase's return.
They went westward.
As they approached the Altepa gate,
they saw an army of Antica type creatures arrayed in many small units. They
were wearing Traliz uniforms. "We need a way around all of those council
flunkeys," said Omatase.
"Sneak by them somehow?"
suggested Tokamo.
"There are far too many of
them. If we get caught, we're dead," answered Omatase.
"I guess we'll have to wait it
out," reasoned Vasteel.
"I'm afraid so. I'll have to
return to Rabao and get some more spring water if we wait here for too
long."
"What seems to be the
trouble?" Sailor Iapetus and Mimas were standing behind them.
"Have you come back to eat me?
You guys are burnt toast if you try that again."
"They've probably come to
avenge their friend," worried Vasteel.
"Relax, that's not why we're
here," replied Sailor Iapetus.
"Then why exactly are you
here?" asked Sailor Parallel Moon.
"We realized that you could've
finished us off, but didn't. We're tired of being in hiding and wanted to put a
stop to the council of princess' madness. We want to help. What can we
do?" asked Sailor Mimas.
"If there is anything we can do
to help in your conquering of the council, let us know. We owe them," said
Sailor Iapetus.
Omatase explained to them the
current situation.
"We will distract them,
allowing you to run by them," said Sailor Mimas.
"But there are so many of them.
You'll lose your lives," warned Sailor Ares.
"If that's the price we have to
pay to help bring down the council, then that is what we'll do," responded
Sailor Iapetus.
Sailor Iapetus created a sandstorm
to blind the Antican army.
Both Sailor Iapetus and Mimas ran
towards the army, whose back was facing them. They plowed through the Antican
army like trains. They crushed their bones with mighty blows and strikes.
Omatase's group ran by as fast as
they could, towards their destination. There were groups of Anticans who chased
after Omatase's group, but their efforts failed when giant boulders fell on top
of them, thrown by Sailor Iapetus and Mimas.
Omatase's group fought off some of
their pursuers while on the run.
A long strip of quicksand formed,
separating Omatase's group from any Antican pursuers, courtesy of Sailor
Iapetus and Mimas. Many Antican soldiers sank to their deaths while in pursuit.
"Okay, we're here," said
Omatase, stopping.
"Are you sure? There's nothing
here," said Kousagi, after catching her breath.
They were standing out in the middle
of nowhere in the vast desert.
"Watch this," said
Omatase. He got out the magical vase filled with the spring water, pouring it
onto the ground. The sand cleared away, revealing an underground staircase
leading many feet downward.
Omatase looked over, seeing a mob of
Antica soldiers swarming around Sailor Iapetus and Mimas. "Thank you for
all your help." They headed down the stair case.
