Episode 9:
A Friend in Need.

     The Sailor Senshi reappeared in the center of the common near the statue.  Unluckily, they reappeared about thirty feed off the ground and fell, everyone landing hard.  They got up, dusted themselves off, and looked up in disbelief.  Williams was still there, but he had increased in size.
     The now fifty foot tall Williams looked at the Sailor Senshi and said, "So Sailor failures, back for more abuse?!"
     "Shawn, listen to us,"  Sailor Saturn shouted, "this is not who you are!"
     "Yes it is!!"  Shawn said before releasing a fury of tornadoes, "Die Sailor brats!!"
     The tornadoes lifted the senshi into the air and spun them like there was no tomorrow.  When the winds died down, the senshi dropped to the ground once again.
     "Just peachy!"  Sailor Io moaned.
     "We... need a distraction,"  Sailor Ganymede said.
     "I'm on it,"  Sailor Star Dancer said, taking to the sky.  He flew right in front of Shawn.
     "Let's hope this works,"  he thought as he put his hands, spread fingered, in front of his face.  He then shouted, "Solar Flare!!"
     There was an intense flash of heat and light from Star Dancer, which blinded Williams for a couple minutes.  Star Dancer then rejoined the other senshi on the ground.
     "On three, attack with everything you've got!"  Star Dancer instructed, "ready.... Three!  Star Burst Flame!!"

 "Star Sensitive Inferno!"
 "Star Gentle Uterus!"
 "Star Serious Laser!"
 "Uranus... Meteor Strike!"
 "Neptune Tidal Wave Submerge!"
 "Dead Scream."
 "Silence Glaive Apply!"
 "Crystal Seed!"
 "Breaking Monolith!"
 "Halo Laser Cut!"
 "Lava Plume!"
     As Sailor Earth's power took effect, everyone exclaimed, "Where did that come from?!"
 "Storm Shriek!"
 "Stone's Burning Blood!"
 "Sparkling Wide Pressure!"
 "Neo - Jupiter Thunder Dragon!"
 "Mars Flame Sniper!"
 "Neo - Mars Celestial Fire Surround!"

 "Moon Gorgeous Mediation!"
 "Neo - Venus Meteor Shower!"
 "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
 "Prominence Ultra Flare!"
 "World Shaking!"
 "Deep Submerge!"
 "Temporal Fugue!"
     As the attacks struck Williams, he increased in size, absorbing all the energy.  When the attacks ceased, he cackled, "Is that all you've got?!"
     "This... is not happening!"  Sailor Sun exclaimed, "We just fed that... THING our power and attacks and it wants more!"
     "Then let's give it more!"  Sailor Star Dancer said.
     "And how do you plan on doing that?!"  Sailor Neo - Venus asked, accentuating the last word.
     "We need Sailor Planet Power!"
     The Sailor Senshi surrounded Williams and joined hands.  They then called upon their respective planets and powers.
 "Moon Crisis Power!"
 "Eternal Moon Power!"
 "Mercury Crystal Power!"
 "Mercury Prism Power!"
 "Mars Crystal Power!"

 "SAILOR PLANET POWER!!!"
     A combined wave of powers and energy washed over the area, striking Williams with everything the senshi had.  The power was so intense that it threatened to tear them apart, but they managed to hold on to one another.  Suddenly there was an energy back wash which threw them for a loop.
     When Richard regained his senses, he looked around the common.  The air was deathly still and there was no motion from any of the other Sailor Senshi.  The giant sized Williams was no place to be seen.  He peeled himself off the rock he was on and leapt to the sky.  From there he could see everyone.
     "Woah,"  he exclaimed, "that blast sent everyone flying!"
     Just then he recognized a form, or, rather, five familiar forms huddled together.  He flew down to join them.
     When he landed, he asked, "Are you guys ok?"
     "Fine,"  Brian said.
     "Peachy,"  Steve said.
     "Really good,"  Tod said, popping his shoulder back into joint.
     Just then the rest of the Sailor Senshi regained consciousness.  They all headed to where Williams had been.  There, they made a startling discovery.  Williams was back to normal!
     Shawn slowly regained consciousness, only to come face to face with the Sailor Senshi.  He exclaimed, "Woah baby!!"  before leaping to his feet and taking up a battle stance.
     "Woah, down boy,"  Tod said, "we just saved you from yourself!"
     "You did?"  Shawn said, sounding shocked, "Why?"
     "You saved us and you were a friend in need,"  Rachel said.
     "Thanks, I guess."
     "Whooo - boy,"  Steve said, looking at his watch, "It's getting late.  I think we should be heading home!"
     "I YAWN agree completely,"  Richard said, "My parents are gonna be worried about me."
     Just then a final Negaverse monster appeared.  The Senshi, too tired to really care, left Sailor Earth and his Crater Crush attack to destroy the monster.  With the monster destroyed, Sailor Earth regained his weapon, the Iron Pike, and became Super Sailor Earth.  He then returned to his form as Brian Huot and headed for home.
     With their group reunited, the Sailor Teams could sleep well.
