Do you like my hat? Oops, wrong story. Well everyone, this time I am not claiming Sailor Moon. Or Darien. Ha! That got your attention. No, I've come to the conclusion that Darien is way too prone to brainwashing. I want a slightly more reliable boyfriend. So who have I chosen for the job? Why, Andrew, obviously! He is such a HOTIE! What a babe! Sorry, but I always get the good guys, Serena. Author's note: Part four! Enjoy, and send feedback! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Sailor Moon L Chapter 4 Mysterious Scouts ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "YOUMA!" the cry rang through the building. Five girls sitting at the corner table in the Crown Arcade leapt to their feet and looked out the window. People in the street were scattering as icicles were shot at them. Anyone unfortunate enough to get him was immediately turned to ice. "What are we gonna do?" Mina hissed. "We can't transform here, least of all in front of them." She pointed towards a table in the back where three, rather unconcerned looking girls were seated. They didn't seem the least bit worried about the commotion outside. "We can't let them know that we're Sailor Scouts." whispered Serena. "Well duh, Meatball Head." "Shut it, Pyro." As the group watched, the three girls stood, dropped some money on the table and turned, as if to leave. Just as they reached the door, a burst of smoke and fog exploded into the air. Everything disappeared. "What's going on?" "I can't see a thing!" "I discovered that the substance disabling our visual sense is not created by evaporated water molecules as the extent of fog is. My computer readings point to magical particles that, when mixed with a particular substance to the correct degree, forms a strange aura in the area where the mixture was dispersed. It blocks the line of vision for a certain distance, and it is most likely used as a distraction source. However, we may turn this to our advantage and take this well placed opportunity to repeat our henshin phrases and become our planets' respective warriors!" Amy said. Silence...... Blank stares..... (not that anyone could see in the fog, but oh well) Then: "Huh?" Amy sighed. "This is not real fog; it's made with magic. We can use this chance to transform and not be seen. And for God's sakes, peoples, BUY A DICTIONARY!!!" Silence.... Then: "Ohhh..." "Ready then?" "Ready!" "MERCURY POWER!" "MARS POWER!" "JUPITER POWER!" "VENUS POWER!" "MOON CRYSTAL POWER!" When the fog cleared, five Sailor Scouts stood around the corner table. The three girls and their cat were nowhere to be seen. "Hey! Where'd they go?" "Never mind that. We got some Nega-butt to kick! "Let's do it!" ******************************************************************************** Outside in the street, the youma was draining the energy of everyone in sight. Jedite hovered nearby, out of the line of vision. "Good work, Froza. Queen Beryl will be most pleased." Jedite chuckled quietly from his hiding place. (AN: yes, I know the youma's name sucks, but I had writer's block!) "Stop right there, Nega-trash!" The youma glanced up at the interruption. "Huh?" it asked stupidly. "How dare you steal innocent people's energy! They've got better things to use it for than feeding your dumb queen! I am Sailor Moon! I fight for love and justice, and on behalf of the moon, I shall punish you!" "Shit!" snarled Jedite, snapping his fingers and teleporting to the vacant space beside his monster. "Sailor Moon, how nice to see you again!" he said, voice dripping with sarcasm. "Froza here will be happy to play with you, I'm sure. Froza, I leave them to you. See that they suffer hard and long." "Yes, master" the youma hissed. Jedite grinned evilly. "Have fun!" he said before disappearing. With that, the battle began. ******************************************************************************** Ten minutes later, the Scouts weren't doing so well. Mars and Venus were already down, and Mercury's attacks had no effect. She was typing away at her minicomputer, trying to find the monster's weakness, but without much success. Jupiter had a large gash in her left shoulder and was quickly loosing both blood and consciousness. Sailor Moon was desperately trying to keep the youma in her tiara ring so that Mercury could get a scan. Even Tuxedo Mask had shown up, but his razor-sharp roses just glanced off the monster's icy body. "Hurry, Mercury, I can't hold it much longer!" "I'm trying, but I can't find anything!" "SUN HOT RAYS!" "COMET FIRE BALL!" A shimmering translucent ray of heat and a white ball of fire shot past Sailor Mercury and hit the youma, who had just escaped Moon's tiara ring. It shrieked and fell to the ground in pain. "WHO?" yelped Sailor Moon. Three figures in sailor fukus stood back to back in a triangle. The tallest, obviously the leader, wore a lavender fuku and baby pink bows. She had violet strappy heels and her sailor collar was pale purple. A seashell shaped broach was pinned to her front bow, and there were seashells on her choker, tiara, and earrings. Chestnut hair fell half way down her back with a small braid on either side of her head. The second scout had a rainbow fuku, which faded from white into a deep maroon, matching her bows and collar. She wore silver heeled sandals and her broach was a crystal-like star. The same symbol adorned her choker, tiara, and earrings. Her shoulder length brown hair was pulled back into a half ponytail. The last warrior was obviously younger than the other two. She had a yellow fuku and collar and red bows. Her knee high yellow boots had small bows at the ankle, knee, and mid-calf. Her broach, tiara, choker, and earrings were all a distinct sun shape. Almost-black hair hung around her shoulders after being pulled back in a yellow headband. The new arrivals glared at the youma for a minute before posing and starting their rather to-the-point speech. "I stand for peace..." began the first. "...truth..." continued the second. "...and hope." finished the third. "I am Sailor Seashell!" "Sailor Comet!" "Sailor Sun!" "And on behalf of the people of this earth, we shall punish you!" they ended in unison. "Hey, that's my line!" cried Sailor Moon indignantly. "You can share." muttered Sailor Sun, without taking her eyes off the monster. "Sailor Moon, the youma doesn't have a weak point! You'll just have to attack and hope that it works!" "Okay. Here goes! MOON TIARA MAGIC!" The only sound in the silent street was a soft *crack* as her tiara hit the monster and broke in two. Then Sailor Moon fainted dead away. ********************** Finally, a cliffhanger! I've been tryin' to do one of those for ages, but honestly, they're harder than they look! Actually, I really hadn't planed on the tiara breaking. It just sorta... happened. That's why this chapter is so short, that seemed like a good place to stop. Sorry. Don't forget to send me feedback! Chapter five is comin' soon. See ya!
