Episode 5:
Williams Returns
"Blazing Blade Boomerang!"
"Cold Wildfire!"
"T- bolt Wave!"
"Star Burst Flame!"
"Flame Star Streak!"
As the five attacks converged on their target,
the Sailor Senshi smiled quite contentedly, for this would bring them one
step closer to finishing their long quest in defeating the powers of the
Negaverse. The monster, on the other hand, couldn't quite take the
attacks. First Hellfire's boomerang slashed through it, burning it
severely. Arctic Chill's Cold Wildfire chilled the burns and the
monster to negative 253 degrees Fahrenheit Thunderbolt's t- bolt
wave cracked away at the frozen bits of the monster, causing major pain.
Star Dancer's flame caused even more pain to the monster. Finally,
FireStar's beam attack finished the monster. As it dissolved into
dust, the five Sailors gave one another hi - five's in congratulations.
"Way to go!" Hellfire exclaimed, "Could
you imagine anything better than that blast?!"
"Yeah," Star Dancer said through a yawn,
"Bed. What the heck is the time anyway?"
"It's YAWN," Arctic Chill began, looking
at his watch, "around three in the morning."
"Let's head for home!" Thunderbolt said.
"Let's crash at my house," FireStar
said.
The five returned to their human forms of
Steve Huff, Matt Emmerton, Alex West, Richard Doremus, and Tod Whipple.
They then moved on to Tod's house, where they would spend some of their
late nights after Sailor business. Once they reached Tod's, the five
kicked off their shoes and leapt onto the pit couch, where they crashed
and burned seriously.
Around four thirty in the morning Alex's VR
visor activated automatically, alerting him of trouble. Alex reached
up to turn it off, but took a quick look at the readings. He then
elbowed Richard in the stomach, who in turn kicked Tod in the shin, who
head - butted Steve in the nose, who ended up smacking Matt in the face.
The four, now awake and very tired, all exclaimed, "What the hell is the
problem?!?!"
"Sorry," Alex said, a sweat drop appearing
on his head, "but my visor came on automatically and you should hear this;
you remember Shawn Williams?"
"The one who saved out butts at the southern
lights festival?" Matt asked.
"That's the one. Well, my visor just
registered his bio - readings someplace in Newport."
Just then Alex's communicator beeped.
"Amy calling Alex. Do you copy?"
"This is Alex. What's happening Amy??"
As Amy's image appeared on the tiny screen,
the blue haired girl smiled and said, "I just picked up the readings of
someone named Shawn Williams. Do you know him?"
"He saved our butts on his only mission with
us," Tod said.
"Well, he's back and according to my readings
he's in the process of draining Sailor Nova."
"You're kidding, right?!" Alex exclaimed.
"I'm not one to kid. He is in the middle
of town draining Nova!"
"We're on our way!" Mat said, taking
off like a shot. The other four followed.
As soon as they were outside, each hoisted
their power items into the air and prepared to transform.
"Dancer Star Power..... "
"FireStar Star Power..... "
"Hellfire Star Power.... "
"Arctic Chill Star Power.... "
"Thunderbolt Star Power.... "
"MAKE UP!!!"
There were five different flashes of light as
they transformed into the super powerful Star Senshi. They took to
the sky in typical fashion and flew to the center of town, where they met
the Neo - Outer Senshi before they descended to where Shawn was draining
Sailor Nova.
As they touched down, Shawn turned to face
then ten, his eyes glowing red through his glasses.
"So, the Sailor Senshi arrive once again,"
he snarled, "What's the matter, no other crime to fight?!"
"Shawn, what has happened to you?" Amanda
asked.
"You want to know, little girl. Well,
I'll tell you. After I saved your butts I ended up in a place called
the Negaverse. They took me in and made me what I am today!"
"Call Serena," Star Dancer whispered
to Hellfire, "we may need her healing powers."
As Hellfire pulled out his communicator, Shawn
fired a beam from his finger which blew the communicator to atoms.
"Uh, uh, uh," Shawn taunted, "I don't
be thinking so!"
"Well, since we can't get Serena, we need
to do this on our own," Sailor Neo - Neptune said, "It's weapon time!"
He and the other Sailor Senshi produced their
weapons from their sub - space pockets and pointed them at Shawn.
"Ooh, should I be impressed?!" Shawn
taunted once again.
"Let's rock and roll!" Sailor Sun said
as he leapt into the air, his bow ready, "ARROW FLARE!"
The arrow in his bow glowed a brilliant gold.
He then released it. As it approached Shawn, the arrow burst into
flame. As it touched down, an ultra - hot explosion ensued, bathing
Shawn in pure flame. As the flames died down, Shawn was still standing,
his clothes still smoldering from the heat.
"Wow!" Sailor Sun breathed, "That was
my max attack and it didn't even phase him!"
"Let me try," Sailor Neo - Pluto said,
"Forgive me everyone, but this attack takes a lot out of me. Temporal
Fugue!!"
As he said that, he smashed the garnet orb
against the ground, causing it to shatter in a flash of violet light.
Each fragment, upon landing, formed a ghostly image of Neo - Pluto, each
one releasing a dead scream attack. After releasing the attack, each
image returned to the staff, reforming the garnet orb. Upon reformation,
Sailor Neo - Pluto returned to his form of Derek Taylor. As the dust
cleared from his attack, Shawn was still standing.
"Was that all you had?!" Shawn taunted.
"Holy Cow!" Star Dancer said, his jaw
hitting the ground, "All that for nothing!"
"We need a power boost!" Hellfire said.
"Just what I had in mind. Queen Serenity,
if you are watching over us right now, please give us the strength to save
our friend."
As Alex chanted, the planets aligned, causing
each of the Sailor Senshi in the area, except Amanda, became the princes'
of their respective planets, etc. Each drew their respective weapons,
which had magnified power, and pointed to Shawn.
"Ready guys?!" Alex asked.
"Ready!!" the others said.
They leapt into the air, all poetry in motion.
Alex loaded an arrow into his long bow and pointed it at Shawn. As
he drew the arrow back he chanted:
"I call upon the powers of Saturn and Mars....
Fireballs and Thunder Rings.... CHARGE!!"
The arrow flew like a beam of light, once
again striking the person in the heart. The arrow drained the evil
while bringing back the good. But the same result as what happened
in the future happened in the present, only on a more epic scale.
Explosion, resulting in the scattering of the Sailor Senshi. Not
only the ones on the common, but all in Newport were scattered to the four
winds. How they would get back together only the future knew.
