Episode 19:
Something a Little Wilder

     "Wilder's delivery service.  We make the pie on the fly.  What can we do you for??  Hmmmm.... ok.  Let me get this straight.  You want three large pizzas with anchovies and pineapple?!  Oh.... three large pizzas, one anchovy, one pineapple, and one half and half!?  Huh.. ok.  We'll get you your order in thirty minutes or the next one's free!"
     As Alyssa hung up the phone, she punched the intercom button to the kitchen.
     "Yo,"  Richard said, his voice tinny from the intercom.
     "We got three pies to be delivered to the south end of Tokyo.  One super salty, one tropical, and one to cancel out the salt."
     "Ok Alyssa,"  Rich said, "who are you gonna have deliver these?"
     "We'll see,"  Alyssa said, switching to intercom off.  She then hit the alarm button, which caused a bell to ring in the employee lounge.  Darren, Alex, and Mike sprang to full attention, each one battling to hit the intercom switch.  In the end Tod walked in and hit the switch.
     "We got a call guys!"  Alyssa said, "Three to be delivered to South Tokyo."
     "Great!"  Mike said, "I can't wait!"
     "Who said you're gonna deliver them!?"  the other three said at the same time.
     "I think I should because I'm the fastest runner here,"  Alex said.
     "I should deliver them because I got the fastest car,"  Darren said.
     "Hold it there punks,"  Mike said, "I've got the cycle and I should run them!"
     "All three of you are wrong,"  Tod said, "I'll deliver them since you can't decide!"
     The other three looked at Tod and moaned.  A sweat drop formed on Tod's head.  Just then Alyssa and Alison walked in and witnessed the indecision of the four.  Alison gave a shrill whistle and once she had their attention Alyssa said, "I have a way the four of you can do the run."
     "How?"  Mike asked.
     "It starts with Mike and his cycle.  He takes the pies to Alex, who uses his super speed to get them to Darren.  He hops into Darren's car and they take off.  They meet up with Tod, wait for Mike, and deliver the pies together."
     "And you had better work together,"  Alison said, "otherwise we'll make your lives hell!"
     "All right already,"  Darren said, "Let's go!"
     The four moved into position, Mike staying behind while the other three took off to get into position.  Once they were in place each signaled the pizza house.  Alison handed the pies to Mike, who burned rubber on his cycle.  Five minutes later he caught up to Alex, who took the pies in one hand and a gold ring in the other.  He then took off like a shot, leaving a sonic boom in his wake.  Mike recovered and followed behind Alex.  Seven minutes later Alex caught up to Darren's car, leapt into the air, slipped through the sun roof and landed in the passenger's seat.  Darren gunned the motor and they laid rubber as they took off.  Ten minutes later they joined Tod in racing to the address.  Five minutes after they stopped Mike arrived.  The four then approached the address together.
     The address belonged to a spooky old mansion, one which was suffering from neglect.  The four who were to deliver the pizzas all picked up on the bad vibes coming from the house and ran for the front door.  They positioned themselves as Darren rang the door bell.

DING DONG
     As the bell rang, the floor beneath them opened, dropping them into the black unknown.  Somewhere in the distance there was demonic laughter.

     "Hello, Wilder's delivery!  You get the pie on the fly.  Today's special is the tangy taco supreme..... um - huh.... four artery clogger specials.  You want the certificate for the free bypass surgery?  Yup... thirty minutes or the next one's on us!"
     As soon as Alison hung up she punched the intercom button for the kitchen.
     "Hi hi!"  Serena said, "What's the order?"
     "Four with nothing but meat and cheese,"  Alison said.
     "Got it!"  Serena replied.
     Alison turned the intercom off and hit the alarm button, which once again rang in the employee's lounge.  This time Richard, Dan, Jordan, and Steve sprang to their feet. They answered the call in a more civilized manner than the other four.
     "What can we do for you?"  all four said at the same time.
     "Got four pizzas to be delivered to South Tokyo.  Looks like the same place Alex, Darren, Mike, and Tod went to."
     "But they never came back,"  Dan said.
     "Intelligence reports a mad scientist is using that place as a hide out.  Get in, save the others, then get out and back here.  Oh, be sure he pays for the pies this time!"
     "RIGHT!"  all four said before heading for their vehicles.
     Once the four were strapped in and ready, Rei ran out and gave each one a pizza.  As soon as she was safely behind the blast plate the four gunned their engines, laying rubber as they took off.  Twenty minutes later they reached the address of the same mansion Alex and the others delivered to.  The four parked near Tod's and Darren's cars and Mike's cycle.  They then walked up to the front door and rang the bell.  The floor opened beneath them, but they had enough reaction time to get away.  Once the door closed Richard powered up a nuclear knuckle and punched the door in.
     "Hello,"  Jordan called as they stepped inside.  His voice echoed throughout the building.
     "I'm getting creepy vibes,"  Steve said.
     "I can't see a thing,"  Richard said,"  Dan, how about shedding some light in here!?"
     "My pleasure,"  Dan said, creating a fireball.  Once the room was illuminated all of them saw how creepy the place was.
     "Now I know there's going to be trouble,"  Steve said, taking out his communicator, "I'm calling in the second string.  Steve calling Alison, we need back-up!"
     "Alison here.  I'm sending in Adderson, Crystal, Dorrie, Matt, and Ryan,  ETA is ten minutes.  Good luck!"
     With that Alison broke connection.  Steve returned his communicator to his jacket pocket and said, "We gotta hold out for ten minutes."
     "Why?"  Richard asked.
     "Because that's how long it'll take for them to get here."
     Just then an unearthly light filled the room, blinding them.
     "Welcome,"  a distorted voice said, "You are chosen to become part of my experiment!"
     As the voice spoke, drugged darts filled the air, striking down the would be rescuers.

     "Oh my head,"  Alex moaned as he woke up, "what is happening here?!"
     "I don't know,"  Darren said, "all I remember is delivering the pizzas and then falling for the longest time."
     "Tell me about it,"  a voice said from another cell.  The first four looked over to see Jordan, Dan, Richard, and Steve in a second cell.
     "What are you doing here!?"  Mike asked.
     "We came to save your butts!"  Richard said.
     "Great, we're in for it now!"  Tod said.
     "Why do you say that?"  Jordan asked.
     "`Cause the second string is on their way.... "  Dan began to say.
     ".... into a trap,"  Alex finished, "and we have no way to warn them!"
     "We need to get free and warn them,"  Steve said, taking out his transformation pen, "Thunderbolt Nova Power... Transform!"
     Bolts of lightning erupted from his pen, wrapping around his body and forming his armor.  Once he finished his transformation it immediately came undone.
     "WTF!?"  Steve exclaimed, "My armor just disintegrated!"
     "As it should have,"  a mysterious voice said.  The lights came on suddenly, blinding everyone in the cages.  When their eyes adjusted to the light, they could see a woman with flame red hair and a man with dark hair and thick glasses.
     "These are fine catches Kay,"  the man said to the woman.
     "Thank you Professor Tomoe,"  Kay said, "I knew you would approve."
     "Yes, yes, fine specimens.  Their warrior powers should prove to be most.... productive,"  Professor Tomoe said.
     "Oh boy,"  Mike said, "we're in for it now!"

     "Guys, we should stop for a minute!"  Adderson said over the communicator.
     "Why's that?"  Matt asked.
     "I just got some sort of psychic impulse or something from Alex and it didn't look good.  It seems like some guy named Professor Tomoe wants our powers and our armor."
     "I've heard that name before,"  Dorrie said, "I think that's Nichole's father."
     "Then they're in it deep!"  Crystal said, "Because the woman he works with is a negaverse agent!"
     "They'll have to deal with the SiB first,"  Matt said.
     "I just hope they get that same idea,"  Adderson said.

     "Ok people,"  Kay said, stepping towards the cages, "Don't even bother trying to transform or getting free because you can't!"
     "Wanna bet?!"  Alex said, taking his pen from his pocket, "Ok SiB, let's show her what we're made of!"
     "RIGHT!"  Steve, Tod, Richard, Dan, and Darren said, taking out their pens and attaching their pendants to them.  The six touched their pens together before their transformations began to take hold.  Each "drew" a circle around their bodies of their elements.  Amulets in the shape of their planetary symbols formed on their chests and their elements formed their SiB uniforms.
     "Hey you red haired bitch!"  Chill shouted, "You're history!"
     "Let's show her that new dance number of ours,"  Flare said.
     "Sounds good,"  T - bolt said, "Three.... two... one... "
     The six began dancing around the cages, each moving towards the bars at the far end.

"Slam it to the left (if you're having a good time!)
Shake it to the right (if you know that you feel fine!)
Kick it to the front (Uh! Ah!) Go round!"
     As the six danced around, they shattered the bars on the cages, allowing the groups to escape.  Once they were free of the cages, all took out their transformation items and prepared to transform into the warriors.
     "Let's do it!"  Steve said, "Thunderbolt Nova Power... Transform!"
     Lightning bolts erupted from his pen, wrapping around his body and forming his armor.  He drew his swords and prepared to attack.
     "FireStar Nova Power.... Transform!"
     Flames erupted from Tod's pen, swirling around his body and forming his armor.  He took his whip from the catch on his belt and prepared to engage in combat.
     "Saturn Nova Power... "
     "Night Eclipse Power.... "
     "Arctic Chill Nova Power... "
     "Solar Nova Power... "
     "X Nova Power.... "
     "Lunar Eclipse Power.... "
     "TRANSFORM!!"
     The six remaining people transformed, drew their weapons, and prepared to attack.  Kay moved toward a wall and pressed a switch which opened a door.  Eight large creatures emerged and began to attack the warriors.  Four of the creatures went after Warrior FireStar and began to pummel him to a pulp.  When the other warriors saw this they were enraged, but none were more enraged than Warrior Saturn.
     "That's IT!"  Saturn shouted, his eyes turning red.  Dark flames encircled him.  Before everyone's eyes his armor changed from violet to flame red and his boots changed to red, gold, and black.  He drew his flame saber and pointed it at the monsters attacking FireStar.
     "Hey uglies!"  Warrior Nega Fire shouted, "pick on me!  Flare Slash!"
     Flames engulfed his sword.  He slashed downward, releasing a stream of flames which knocked the creatures away.  Nega Fire ran to help his friend, but was met by evil vibes.
     "What's wrong?"  FireStar asked in a strange voice, "You don't seem happy to see me."
     "This is really bad,"  Thunderbolt said, "one of ours has gone bad."
     "Make that two,"  Night said.
     "Three,"  X said.
     "This is really uncool!"  Moon said.
     "And here are more to play,"  Kay said, opening a door.  Out stepped the dream police, all four present, especially the two resembling FireStar and Thunderbolt, namely Hudson and Logan.
     "Anyone to play?!"  Hudson asked.
     "Yeah, us!"  came from the doorway.  Everyone looked to see Warriors Universe, Hellfire, and Draco with Sailors Io and Callisto.
     "Let's kick some ass!"  Warrior Universe said, "Gravity Flip!"
     He snapped his fingers, sending everyone spiraling to the ceiling.
     "Whirl Wind Rage!"
     Sailor Io's power blew people into walls.  Once the winds died down Warrior Universe snapped his fingers again, sending all crashing to the floor.  In all the confusion the two groups managed to pull themselves together, each on opposite sides of the room.
     "This ends here and now!"  Nega Fire said, "You're not going to take anyone else from me!"
     As he said this his armor began to glow a brilliant red.  The air around him seemed to ignite with energy.  The others sensed what was coming next and used a power shield to protect themselves.
     "All my life I've had to put up with people's BS, but I'm not going to take any more!!"
     As he spoke his muscles tensed, his eyes glowed blood red, and his armor began to smolder.
     "This ends here and now, Nega trash!  Arrrrggggghhhh.... Dark Plasma Wave Ignite!"
     Energy emitted from him in all directions, igniting as it went, blasting the dream police, Kay, and the professor into a wall, destroying the monsters, and battering the transformed warriors.  Once this attack ceased, Warrior Nega Fire warmed up for another blast.  Nothing was spoken, but he fired shot after shot at Kay and the professor.  Fire Soul, Crescent Beam, Supreme Thunder, anything he could use he did.  He didn't let up, even when the ceiling and roof began to collapse.  Throughout his blasts the warriors and senshi managed to get out, but Nega Fire's armor gave him a new form: a god form, which allowed him to trash Kay and the professor.  Once this was over he returned to normal and collapsed.  The others watched in horror as his armor shattered and he began to phase - shift again.
     "What's happening?"  Io asked.
     "He's dying,"  X said.
     "Why?"  FireStar asked.
     "He was close to you, Thunderbolt, and Sun,"  Hellfire said, "after all, you four have been part of the same force for a long time."
     "Wait a minute,"  Night said, "he's beginning to levitate!"
     The others turned to see Alex's body lifting off the ground.  At that same moment the rest of the senshi and warriors appeared on the scene.
     "What's going on?"  Warrior Nova asked.
     "Well, he just saved us from some Nega trash,"  Warrior Moon said.
     "Hey, what's happening now?"  Warrior Pluto asked.
     Everyone turned to see a glow coming from Alex's left hand.  Warrior Jupiter walked over, lifted Alex's hand, and said, "Hey, there's something attached"  He then read what it said: "One time auto re - animate"
     Just then the glow moved up to Alex's chest, right over his heart.  The glow then went inside his chest and Alex began to stir.
     "Uhhh.... my head,"  Alex moaned, "what happened!?  And where is my green dream?!"
     "To answer in the order asked, "  Warrior X said, "First you saved us, blew away the Nega trash, then your armor shattered.  You levitated and your green dream brought you back."
     "Did you say levitate?"  Alex asked.
     "Yeah, I did."
     "Shit!"
     Just then Alex fully woke up and dropped to the ground, landing hard on his butt.  He then whined, "That hurt!"
     "Nice to see you're back,"  FireStar said.
     "Did I save you?"  Alex asked.
     "Yeah, but not before blowing us through a wall or two,"  Warrior Night said, "But we still love you."
     "Uh, guys,"  Warrior Neptune said, "Take a gander over yonder!"
     Everyone turned to face a black dragon and a guy dressed in egyptian clothes.
     "Kay and Pharaoh 90!"  Sailor Saturn said, "Well, this blows my day!"
     "We must defeat them now!"  Sailor Pluto said, "Otherwise they'll be too strong for use later!"
     "Give me a minute,"  Alex said, standing up and stumbling a little.  Hellfire and Universe ran to his side and supported him.  Alex hoisted his right hand into the hair and shouted, "Star Crystal Power!"
 The jewel in his ring glowed violet and released a mass of ribbons which wrapped around his right forearm and formed his gauntlet.  The jewels in the gauntlet released energy in the form of rings made of ice and stone.  The rings wrapped around his body, forming his armor, his pants, and finally his boots.  He finished his transformation in a type of dance move.
     "Let's kick some Negaverse butt!"  Warrior Saturn said, taking out his glaive.  He spun it around before pointing it at Kay and Pharaoh 90.
     "Hey Nega trash!"  Sailor Moon shouted, "Look down here!"
     The moment they had the attention, the Sailor Senshi and Warriors introduced themselves.  Once they finished their intro's, Alex then shouted to the Warriors, "Techno time!"  He then slammed his ring into a switch on his left gauntlet.  There was a flash of light and Alex was inside an Exo - frame.  Once the Warriors saw what Alex had done they did the same until each was inside a robot armor.
     "Activate the AIES and let's kick some butt!"
     Once they activated the Artificial Intelligence Expert Systems, they were ready go to.
     "What do you want!?"  Alex's AIES asked in a Brooklyn accent.
     "We need to defeat a pair of extra large enemies!"  Alex said.
     "Sure, no problem,"  the AIES said in a sarcastic tone of voice, "what do you want me to do, open a tear in the fabric of time - space?!"
     "Sounds like a plan,"  Alex said, "activate cyber staff!"
     The robotic unit took a baton from the wrist area and a couple seconds later it formed a large staff.
     "Now what?"  the AIES asked.
     "You're supposed to be the expert!"  Alex said, "You tell me!"
     Derek's image flashed up on the screen.
     "Just use the Dark Dome Open move,"  he said.  Sweat drops formed on Alex's head and the head of the E - frame.
     "Why don't you do it, Warrior Pluto!"  Alex said in a sarcastic tone of voice.
     "Fine, I will!"
     Derek's image then vanished from the screen, only to be replaced by the image of Derek's E - frame opening a tear in the fabric of time - space.  The vortex was intense and everyone had to do their best to avoid the vacuum, but in the end Kay and Pharaoh 90 were still standing.
     "This is insane!"  Steve Young exclaimed, "I don't know what can defeat them!"
     "Let's try anything we can,"  Adderson said, "otherwise we're toast!"
     "I have a plan,"  Matt Heath said, "Let's just hit it with everything we've got!"
     "Sounds like a plan to me!"  Adderson's AIES said in a valley - girl accent.
     "I'm in!"  Derek's AIES said in a country accent.
     "Don't just stand there!  Let's GO!!"  Rachel shouted before she took off to kick Kay's and Pharaoh 90's butts.  Everyone else followed her lead.
     "Time to take out the trash!"  Dan said as he launched flare missiles at the pair.
     "And time for a Warrior attack,"  Steve Young said, "Mars Napalm Bolo Engulf!"
     Wave after wave of fiery bolos flew from his cannons, some wrapping around Kay and Pharaoh 90, but most missing their marks.
     "Jupiter Plasma Bolt Chain!"
     "Venus Melt My Heart Strike!"
     Dave's and Jim's attacks wrapped up Kay and Pharaoh 90 long enough for the Warriors to move into better positions.
     "This is for kidnapping us!"  Tod said, "Cannon Drill!"
     Tod's E - frame dove for Kay before flipping around.  He crossed the legs and spun around so he looked like some sort of drill.  Tod then kicked right through Kay, emerging on the other side.  Once Tod finished his attack, Kay began to lose energy.  Once the other Warriors saw this they attacked with everything they had.
     "Nitro Bubbles Blast!"
     "Solar Pulse!"
     "Um... um... "  Alex stammered, trying to figure out what to attack with.
     "Now what's the problem?!"  the AIES demanded.
     "I don't know what attack to use."
     "Lemme give you a selection,"  the AIES said, "I know most forms of martial arts, plus all the Senshi's special attacks,"  the AIES continued, selections appearing on the screen.
     "I think I'll try.... this one,"  Alex said, selecting the third from the top.
     "Excellent choice,"  the AIES chimed, "hold on!!"
     All gun ports in Alex's E -frame opened and began to glow with energy.  There was a blinding flash of light as wave after wave of energy poured over Pharaoh 90 and Kay.  But when everyone could see clearly again, Kay and Pharaoh 90 were still there.
     "It didn't work!"  the AIES exclaimed.
     "You took the words out of my mouth!"  Alex said.
     "Hey guys,"  Rachel said, "according to my calculations they're charging up for an attack!"
     "Force shields to max!"  Dan exclaimed, "Nichole, use your Silence Wall!"
     "Right,"  Nichole said, "Silence Wall!!"
     Once the wall had been erected, Alex's AIES spoke up.
     "Press the yellow button to your left,"  the AIES said.
     "The one marked 'Don't press unless it's urgent'?"
     "That's the one!"
     Alex pressed the button and energy waves began to emit from his E - frame.  The waves eventually formed a woman who appeared to be made of nature.
     "You have summoned the Tempest.  What may I do for you master?"
     "Um... how about a blizzard?"  Alex stammered, shocked at being called 'master'.
     "As you command."
     The Tempest clapped her hands, summoning the arctic wind.  In a matter of seconds the surrounding country side was neck deep in snow and ice.
     "Tempest, now use the plasma flare!"
     "As you wish."
     The tempest summoned a wave of energy so intense it melted all the snow in a matter of seconds and drained Kay and Pharaoh 90 of most of their life energy.  As soon as the wave ceased the Tempest vanished.
     "Now for the finisher,"  Adderson said, "Galactic Destruction Wave!"
"Mars Napalm Bolo Engulf!"
"Jupiter Plasma Bolt Chain!"
"Venus Melt My Heart Strike!"
"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!"
"Nitro Bubbles Blast!"
"Lunar Gravity Throw!"
"X Wave Cannon!"
"Nova Force Bomb!"
"Solar Flare!"
"Blaze of Glory!"
"T - Bolt Wave!"
"Iron Rock Crusher!"
"Aurora Slash!"
"Glacial Freeze!"
"Flare Slash!"
"Galaxia Gun Fire!"
     Pharaoh 90 and Kay were attacked with all forms of energy, finishing what the Tempest had started and sending them spiraling into another dimension.  With the threat neutralized, those in Exo - armor landed and returned to their mortal forms, as did the remaining senshi.
     As the group surveyed the damage, a gentle snow began to fall.  Alex set his wrist communicator to pick up a local radio station, which just happened to be broadcasting "My Only Love."
     *SIGH* Alex puffed, "this song always gets me."
     Just then the song was interrupted by a news bulletin.
     "This is Rob Bubble, reporting from Tokyo, where the Sailor Senshi and Warriors just neutralized another threat to the common good."
     "He's talking about us!"  Adderson said.
     "Not only did they destroy two enemies, but they knocked out power for most of the city and destroyed the outer limits."
     Everyone groaned, face faulted, then fell down.
     "Well, that's life,"  Darren said.
     "Nothing to do `cept watch it snow,"  Steve Huff said.  Everyone sat down on the hill side and watched the snow flakes drift lightly to the ground.
The End.
