Graduation Day: The fight with Hectate's true form.

It was cold beneath the sewers. They knew it would be cooler beneath the sidewalks for thats how sewers natrauly are. The two girls were ahead of the woman and man. Their shoes slapped the walkways in a steady rythym. One pair in pink ankle high boots, the other in ice blue ballet slippers. The woman walked at a fast pace to keep up. She pulled a cart with the left rear wheel that would never stop squeaking.
Lady Nebula and Comet paused to catch their breaths at a fork.
"It seems colder down the right., Nebula said.
"Then thats where we need to go," Feldspar said and kept walking. The other three followed him.

26 hour earlier.
"We all passed," Sadie said with a smile. The girls had just finishing opening the envelopes that contained their exam results and final grades. Sadie had all A's except a C in physics, Laurines was a mixture of A's and B's. Keylas was stright B's except for an A in Home ec and a C in typing.
"NYU here we come," The red head said.
"First a summer of jobs and relaxation., Laurine said. The next voice heard was principle Barton's through the Staticy peakers.
"All seniors report to the cafeteria to retrieve your cap and gown," He said.
"Here we go," Keyla said. They stood up and walked with rest of the crowd. Laurine saw her sister she flashed the 15 year old three fingers and smirked at her.
"What was that about?" Sadie asked.
"Just reminding her that she has three years left," Laurine replied.
"Your bad Laurine," Keyla giggled.

They picked up their cap and gown package as well as their year books. They immediatly, switched them around to sign them. Gina, Ethan and Richardo immediatly ran up to them to sign their yearbooks. Soon Keyla ran off to her friends from the tennis team, and Home ec's class while Sadie joined her teammates from the girls basketball and swim.
"Laurine, Gina sign our yearbooks?" The three girls were Donna, Leslie, and Ashley. Three girls that were good friends with Laurine and Gina for the past four years.
"This is what it was like?' Laurine thought as she signed, "The strawberry's don't go on the Brochollie." An old private joke that Leslie started. 'Before I found out I was a Galactic Lady.' She exchanged assignatures with students from ceramics and with those who were in her gymnastic's class. The last group was the football team led by Steve.
"Its a tradition for the prom Queen to sign the Teams yearbooks," He explain Laurine smiled and grabbed the first book.

The last five minutes of class had everyone on edge. Their eyes watched the clock. Laurine tapped her pencil, Ricardo cleaned his sunglasses and Gina yawned.

Finally the bell rang and everone tripped over each other to get out the door. Clutching their senior packs and a few personal belonings the students waved to each other.
"See you tommorow," Most of them said. Laurine paused in her tracks. She noticed the area where she first rescued Celest from a box and ridicule. She took one last look at Central Park High. She smiled at the sight of a jockstrap dangling in Rex's claws

Everyone's eyes were wide open. They were gatherd in the fire room.
"But that's June 3rd," Keyla protested.
"Its tommorow so?" Amara asked.
"Amara its central park high's graduation."
"Graduation?" Trixie asked. She was the one that told them that Hectate had set the date on the Monstrite's Calender for the grand takeover was June 3rd.
"Its the day we officialy leave Highschool, "Laurine explained.
"Is it just Central Park high?" Evan asked.
"Yeah my school will have its ceremony on tuesday," Amara said
"You three will prepare for your day., Sylvia said. "The rest of us will plan."
"Now you teens get some sleep," Evan said.
"The rest of us will be preparing for tommorow," Dara finished. The highschoolers nodded and had left for home.
"Ok the rest of us will work on this for an hour," Chrissy said.
"All right Dara you put a signal on me right?" Trixie asked.
"Right and you emerged around this perimiter," Dara traced a sqare with her finger on Lexington's screen. Lex typed a few commands and that section of the map enlarged.
"Trixie I need all the info you got plus Asten and the rest of you formal generals.." He didnt need to finish.
"Some good old fashion Negaverse info?" Felix asked. The olive green gargoyle nodded. Soon they had drawn up the plan.
"JustCcomet,Nebula, Felix and Trixie will go down and retrieve the stolen soul tears," Asten said.
"I'm going to need a cart, I plan on donating my friends to the zoo," Trixie said "I'll think they'll be happier there."

While the Central Park high students were rehearsing for the big event, the rest of the ladies were enjoying brunch at Wyvern.
"So While just four of you are walking to ground monstrite zero, the rest of us will be watching the graduation?" Amara asked before taking another bite of her fruit salad.
"We are just going to retrieve the soul tears and Trixie's old friends," Riley said.
"After the graduation ceremony We will return to take care of Hectate," Merle said. Michelle sipped her coffee. She wasn't to sure about this.
"The Sea is restless,"
"What does that mean?" Dara asked.
"It means that she sense that it isnt a good plan," Amara replied.
"I kind of sense it as well," Merle said.
"Then need be those of us not participating in the ceremony will aid you,." Evan told them.
"I still have a bad feeling," Amara Commented.

Rehearsal were done as well as lunch. Keyla,Laurine, and Sadie were in the hallway's of school slipping their gowns and placing their motorboards on their head.
"All right everyone get into formation," Vice principle Denver instructed. The students divided into two individual lines. "We will begin heading towards our seats when 'Pomp and CircumStance' Begins."

The families of the students were already seated by the time Principle Barton made it to the podium. In the last row sat Amara,Asten,Dara,Evan,Michelle and Sylvia. Standing in the row by the chairs was Chrissy. She was using a video camera to tape it for thoes who couldn't make it. Sitting content in his Kitty Carrior was Apollo.
"How long is this gonna take?" Amara complained.
"Three hours," Dara said "Why?"
"I want to finish this witch Queen as soon as possible."
"I know how you feel..." The graduation music began. "oops its starting."
The highschool students slowly walked into view and begun filling the rows that were ment for them. The group in the back saw their friends and waeved at them. The graduating Ladies waved back. Laurine sent a wink to Asten. After the last student took his seat Barton began to speak.
"Oh boy prepare for five long speeches and three songs," Evan said. Amara groaned.

Medusine placed the fourth tear in its holder and began lighting candles. Hectate entered wearing a flowing gown.
"Everything is ready your magesty," Medusine said.
"Excellent but I need on more tear."
"I thought you had them all."
"Yes Medusine dear I just need the one that allows you to be human," Hectate waved her sceptor in front of Medusine changing her into a cobra in an aquarium. After placing her formal servant with the rest of her pets she reentered he ceremonial room. She shook the sceptor releasing five soul tears that she placed into the remaining holders. The witch queen entered the circle and chanted.

Trixie opened the door and entered "Oh Lupyros, and Medusine you too," She said while Feldspar lifted Harphelle's cage onto the cart. Nebula put an aquarium with a Medusine on the bottom. Comet put the last cage on the cart "Thats the last one." she said.
"Good," Merle nodded. "Now show us where Hectate is most likely to be."
"That way," Trixie pointed to the right. "I'll lead you."
"No, youve done your part." Comet told her ."Now get your friends to saftey." Trixie opened her mouth to protest but said nothing. she grabbed the handle of the cart slipped the leash around Lupyros's neck and walked out.
"Lets go," Feldspar said. The other two nodded and followed him.

Hectate's chanting grew louder and faster.
"Stop right there,." Comet shouted but Hectate did not acknowledge her or the others. Instead she opened her eyes. They were a ghostly glowing orbs of white light.
"Your too late," Her voice was low and cold she chanted a few last words before shrieking like a banshee. Her mouth enlarged as stag antler like jaws protrueded. Her body stretched and limbs multiplied. The gown ripped off and her body segemented with four legs to each segment soon her transformation ended and the giant centipede turned around to face the ladies
"Oh my God!" Nebula screamed.
"Hectate's true form," Comet said. They stepped into position and held out their hands.
"Shooting Stars Away!
"Nebula Tornado Strike!" Both attacks centered on the monster, but it barely phazed her. The oversized jaws spread apart and it lead out an earpiercing wail came out. The former witch lurched foreward the many legs appearingt to wriggle as it moved. Feldspar threw some of his kives but Hectate just bowled him and Nebula over
"We better call the others," he said.
"I thought you were about ot say we should follow," Nebula said.
"That too," She turned on her communicator as the walked out. Nebula pulled out her storm staff from her subspace pocket and followed.

Keyla tried to keep her eyes open during the asultorian speech but during the end she nodded off. It only felt like seconds before she felt a finger poking her.
"Salutorian done?" The red head asked.
"They are all done, the first song is almost over," Laurine replied. The friends sat back and waited a few minutes longer soon everyone began standing to take the long walk. First Ricardo then Garret,Sadie,Keyla,Laurine,Ethan and Gina. When the last senior returned to their seat Barton spoke again
"This is the end of one path but you as you decided at the crossoad, begin a new path," He said " You will continue to grow within and change, but your growth here has ended. Seniors move your tasles." The second he said that everyone grabbed their tassles and moved them to the other side.
"We did it," Laurine said Keyla whooped and threw her mortoarboard in the air and caught it. Strains of "The Graduation Song:Friends forever," began. Everyone was too happy to notice the ground rumbling beneath them.
"Did you feel that?" Amara asked.
"I certainly did," Dara replied. The ground shook again as the cummunicators went off.
"We saw Her true form," Comet's face appeard.
"And?" Michelle asked.
"It's Ugly."
"What does she look like?" Dara asked The ground shook again and again their attention was concentraited on an area behind them. A giant Centipede emerged from the ground.
"Never mind," Dara said. People shriekig, paniking ran back into the school.
"Now?" Michelle asked
"Now," Amara said and pulled out her transform wand "Uranus Planet Power!"
"Neptune Planet Power!"
"Shadow ring Power!" The twirling charm, swirling leaves and blue mist completed the transformation. The heros leapt in front of the monster
"Heralded by a new age I am Sailor Uranus acting Gorgeously"
"Simliary here I am Sailor Neptune, Acting Elegantly."
"Enchanted by a new age I am Lady Shadow acting mysteriously."
"We are the former generals first class of the Negaverse," The twins said in Unison. Razor Cane said nothing and threw his Shuriken
"World Shaking!"
"Deep Submege!"
"Shadow Cloud Engulf!" Sylvite threw her razor leaves and Azurite shot a dark blue beam from his clairnet. All the attacks centered on the giant Cenepede. When the dust settled Hectate was stunned and with a few dents shook before heading downtown. br>"Follow that bug," Comet said, Finally caught up Nebula and Feldspar were right behind.

"Everone is safe," Laurine said. Her hand grasping her Silver wand.
"Good," Keyla said and held out her hand."Sun Cosmic Power!"
"Andromeda Star Power!"
"Centauri Star Power!" The three ladies tore out of there nearly chrashing into Chrystia. Apollo had become Helio
"Lady Sun I think you should call the rest of the Warriors of light," Chrystia said." Sun clasped her hands

The Ladies and General followed the monstrites flinging attack after attack.
"She seams to be on a mission," Uranus said.
"She is," Trixie caught up with them." after she achieves true form she will head to the Center of the city and spit poison on everyone. Changing everyone into monstrites and beasties,thereby becoming queen."
"Not going to let her do that," Evan said
"Neither are they," Neptune pointed. The warriors of light stood in front of the monster and begun launching their attcks. The creature reeled back momentarily before getting ready too strike again.
"Attack once more," Sir Solstice said said. The attcks combined into one again.
"Should we try that?" Sylvite asked. She was answerd by Sun. "No get in front of it," The leader of the ladies stood behind her seven protectors and pulled out the Aurorah wand.
"Sun Aurorah Cleansation," The golden spirals struck Hectate causing the monster to actually scream. The centipede's shiny body snapped and crumbled. The blue black smoke ascended forming a shadoy demon.
"It wasnt a centipede," Shadow said.
"This is her true form," Trixie added. Sun said nothing. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply
"Sun Crystal Power!" Instead of Spirals a golden beam of light shot out of the crystal striking Hectate in the center.
"She needs help." Andromeda said and leaped behind Sun.she placed her hand on the girl's wrist shouting
"Andromeda Star Power!" The others followed suit
"Comet Star Power!"
"Centauri Star Power!"
"Nebula Star Power!"
"Uranus Planet Power!"
"Neptune Planet Power!"

"Shadow Ring Power!" They appeard to be at a stalemate.
"Everyone hold hands and shout warrior light power!" Sir Solstice instructed. the other warriors of light grapsed hands and shouted the attck a second beam of light struck Hectate
"General Protector Power!" Razor Cane and the former generals added their power,
"Now Everyone togehter," Sun said.
"Sailor." Neptune and Uranus shouted.
"Galactic"
"Planet"
"Lady"
"Power!". They all shouted, the beam widened and changed into multiple colos of the rainbow. A hole was blasted through the demon and widened until it was destroyed
"We did it again," Comet said.
"Yes!" Andromeda ran up to hug Asten. Everyone began to cheer and high five each other. Sun smiled and sat down.
"The tears are returning," She said. The four shimmering Soul tears that wern't fully absorbed floated to a nearby hospital and returned to their owners.

"Ok we got the rest of the animals in their cages." The zoo keeper said. "Just need to put the cobra in the snake house and the beetle in the bug atorium."
"Thank you," Trixie said. "I feel better knowing they will be in a safe enviroment." She turned to leave the zoo. Evan and the girls stood a few yards away.
"The Sun is begging to set," She said.
"Ready to return to Wyvern?" Laurine asked.
"Yes."
"Its over," Keyla said happily.
"Highschool or the monstrites?" Merle asked.
"Both."
"Ready to kick back for summer?" Michelle asked.
"You bet!" Everyone shouted.
