Chapter 110

"What's a matter Sailor Scouts, your offensive strategy not working?" Cyprine and Puchirol said with a grin. The four Sailor Scouts were slowly standing up. Mercury was standing by a window of the school wondering what to do next.

"Sailor Mars, it's well know that you like to attack with a jump kick. Barring that you occasionally use a spin kick. Otherwise you need to be close to your assailant to do any damage, which I won't let happen," Cyprine said.

"Sailor Jupiter, all you do is charge in and look to brawl. I assure you that I can dodge whatever you have to offer, and I might say I can take a licking and keep on pounding your face in," Puchirol said with a sinister grin.

"Without your powers, you're absolutely helpless against us," Cyprine said.

"After all, Sailor Venus and Sailor Mercury have no hand to hand combat skills and you Sailor Moon are a wimp," Puchirol said.

Sailor Moon stood there shaking.

"She's right..she's so right...we can't attack them...they can absorb our powers, and we can't use frontal assaults," Sailor Moon said.

"Sailor Moon, don't think that way," Jupiter said.

"Yeah, we'll figure something out," Mars said.

"Will you," Puchirol and Cyprine said and sent blasts of energy shooting across the ground. The scouts all jumped out of the way.

"We can keep this up for hours," the twins said. "Oh...and one more thing."

They each held up their crystals. Flames, Golden Beams, Ice Water, and Thunder flew out of them at the scouts. They each let out cries and dived away of the attack. Sailor Moon started wailing and ran inside the school. The other scouts looked at each other with concern and followed.

"What a disaster," General Nagumo said.

"Yeah....guess it's up to us," Chief Ozaki said and each of them pulled out walkie talkies. "Move in!" They shouted.

With a battle cry, a large force of Police and Army troops along with Tanks, Jeeps, and Helicopters went charging at the two twins, who sent energy flying at the troops knocking them down.

"We won't be able to keep this up for long," Nagumo muttered.

"Don't worry General, we'll think of something," Sailor Mercury said walking up.

"You'd better," Ozaki said.

"Where are the other scouts?" Nagumo said.

"Across the hall trying to get Sailor Moon to calm down," Mercury said.

"They seem to have your number," Ozaki said.

"Yes they are formidable, but we've been in worse situations," Mercury said.

"That would have been interesting to see," Ozaki said.

A figure slid in front of the doorway. Nagumo and Ozaki drew their pistols and then held up. There stood Tuxedo Mask.

"Don't do that!" Ozaki said.

"Sorry..it comes with the image," Tuxedo Mask said.

"Sailor Moon needs you," Mercury said.

"All right..but we have something to talk about Mercury.." Tuxedo Mask said.

Another battle cry rose from a crowd of troops as they reformed and charged Puchirol and Cyprine again and we pushed back the same way.

"Maybe if we asked the Americans for a nuclear weapon..." Ozaki said.

"Are you insane you imbecile!" Nagumo said.

"This is good Nagumo, we work best when we're insulting each other, you military dumb butt," Ozaki said.

"Still the Americans could be useful," Nagumo said and picked up a phone. "Get me the U.S. Naval Base."

"Yes sir," came an orderly's reply.

In another room.

"Don't you see it, it's the end," Sailor Moon said. "They have your powers, they know your weaknesses, what can we do?"

"Sailor Moon, get a hold of yourself, we've been through worse," Mars said.

"She's right," Tuxedo Mask said walking in.

"Tuxedo Mask, finally," Jupiter said.

"I'm so glad to see you, can you save us?" Sailor Moon said.

"No, not alone," Tuxedo Mask said. "We're going to need you Sailor Moon, and we're going to need all of you."

"We're not very useful at the moment," Venus muttered.

"They're immune to whatever powers they absorb with some crystal, they can attack us with our own powers, and they possess massive amounts of energy somewhere," Jupiter said.

"So...we just have to get the crystals," Mercury said entering.

"Exactly," Tuxedo Mask said.

"It's hopeless," Sailor Moon said. "You'll never get them."

"Of course we will...Jupiter..I need you to come with me..Mercury you too...Venus, Mars...try and get Sailor Moon back to normal...then we'll need your attacks," Tuxedo Mask said.

"Got it," the four said.

"Here we go with a little Grenade action!" Colonel Patterson said flinging a Grenade right at Puchirol and Cyprine. It exploded above them. They stood there looking at the troops with annoyance.

"You've got to be kidding," the two said and sent another blast throwing tanks and various other equipment aside. They launched an attack at a helicopter, and the crew bailed out before it crashed to the ground.

"Well...what about our surprise?" Ozaki said.

"It's on it's way, but be warned, the Americans sometime don't aim that well..." Nagumo said.

A large whistling sound filled the air. The army troops scrambled away.

"What's that?" Cyprine muttered.

"Probably just another stupid grenade," Puchirol said.

"Puchirol..." Cyprine said looking up. Puchirol followed her gaze.

"Oh..that's big," Puchirol said seconds before a shell from a battleship slammed into the ground in front of them and exploded. The two through up shields to protect themselves but were still knocked back a few feet.

"How ironic, the first U.S. shelling of a Japanese city since World War Two is actually beneficial," Ozaki muttered.

"Get em boys!" Nagumo shouted. The troops surged forward and were blasted away again.

Puchirol and Cyprine stood up covered with dirt.

"Sailor Scouts! Come and face us!" They shouted.

A rose hit the ground and skidded along the pavement. The two looked up to see a Tuxedoed Figure standing on the roof.

"Him!" they shouted. Seconds later the crystal in Puchirol's hands was knocked away by a fighting staff. A barrage of roses followed and Puchirol and Cyprine dived out of the way in surprise. Tuxedo Mask leapt out from behind them and grabbed the crystal. Then he tossed it in a second story window where Nagumo caught it.

"Excellent," he said.

"But...who's that?" Cyprine said pointing to the roof. The tuxedoed figured removed it's hat and mask to reveal Sailor Jupiter's face and hair standing there.

"What?" Puchirol said.

"Mercury Bubbles Blast!" they heard a shout. Fog fell.

"Oh please.." Cyprine muttered. Seconds later she felt the crystal pulled from her hands.

"What?" Cyprine said and whirled. Sailor Mercury dived out of the cloud and threw the crystal into the same window, unfortunately smashing through it. Ozaki caught it all the same.

"Now I've got one too..." he said with a slight grin.

"How dare you," the twins said.

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"

"Mars Fire Ignite!"

The two attacks flew out from the school, one at each of their enemies.

"Oh no you don't!" Cyprine shouted and threw out a wave of energy. It blew the two attacks aside and smashed into the school breaking some windows and sending glass flying. Tuxedo Mask swung his fighting staff at Cyprine's head. She moved quickly and caught the staff. Tuxedo Mask's eyes widened in surprise. A bolt of energy flew down the staff. Tuxedo Mask quickly let go and barely missed the attack. He rolled forward and threw some roses. Puchirol blew them apart.

"Uh oh," Venus said from the window. Mercury and Jupiter soon hurried back inside the school. Tuxedo Mask followed.

"Nagumo, attack again! We need some time!" he shouted.

"Understood," Nagumo said.

Seconds later what was left of the armed forces attacked.

"I'll get the Americans to lob another shell in here," Nagumo added.

"I've got an idea," Ozaki said and laid the crystal he had caught down on a desk and heading for the door.

"Where are you going?" Nagumo asked.

"You'll see. It's a surprise," Ozaki said and ran out.

"That fool," Nagumo said.

Ozaki pulled out a phone as he ran.

"This is Chief Ozaki, someone break out the widow-maker!"

"Yes Chief..are you sure," an officer replied.

"Of course I'm sure, this is going to kick some eh..well you know!"

"See..we can't stop them, even now," Sailor Moon said still hiding in a room.

"Stop thinking so negatively," Mars said. "We've got a battle to win, we're going to need you."

"How will I help, they'll just blast me like they did everyone else," Sailor Moon said. "Can't you all see we're going to lose this one. I can't stop that from happening."

"You can at least try," Venus said.

"Yeah..can that hurt?" Jupiter said.

"It will hurt," Sailor Moon said.

"Do I have to slap you again?" Mars said.

"Don't you dare.." Sailor Moon said.

"Well...what'll it take to get you out there?" Jupiter said.

"Yes, how can you run now Sailor Moon?" Tuxedo Mask said.

"Because maybe I'm tired of fighting. If all of you can't even put a dent in them..I'm not up to it," Sailor Moon said.

"I guess it's up to us again," Mars said. "Forget her....I thought after all these battles she had learned something. I guess she hasn't."

"Guess so," Jupiter said.

"But we have to fight even if she doesn't think so," Venus said.

"It is our duty," Mercury said.

"I'm with you girls," Tuxedo Mask said.

The five hurried out.

Another shell from the battleship exploded around Cyprine and Puchirol.

"Where is that coming from!" the two shouted hysterically.

Seconds later there was a loud roar and down the street a monster truck came racing covered painted black and white. On it's side were the words "Tokyo Police" and there was a large light on top of it. At it's wheel was Chief Ozaki.

"He's insane," Nagumo said.

"HAH HAH!" Ozaki shouted and raced forward. Cyprine and Puchirol turned towards him.

"Oh..gee..that's big too isn't it?" they said in unison and raised their arms to blast it. Ozaki hit the gas. The monster truck raced at them and was hit at the very last second propelling his truck several yards back down the road and flipping it over. Cyprine and Puchirol were covered with more dirt though.

"They're just getting us dirty," the twins muttered.

"Mercury Bubbles Blast!"

Fog descended.

"Oh no you don't!" Cyprine shouted and blasted the fog away. They looked around. There was no sign of the Sailor Scouts.

"What the.." Puchirol said before the ground exploded below them. They tumbled down into the sewer.

"See..I knew the plan would work somehow?" Mars said standing in the sewer with Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Tuxedo Mask.

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"

"Jupiter Thunder Crash!"

The two attacks hit the twins before they could fully recover they were knocked into a pool of murky water several feet away.

"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!" Mercury shouted bringing about her power. The murky water froze entrapping the twins momentarily.

"All right energize the main powers!" Tuxedo Mask said.

"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"

"Mars Fire Soul!"

"Jupiter Oak Evolution."

"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"

The four began to energize. Four seconds later Cyprine and Puchirol broke free and jumped through the hole in ground, Tuxedo Mask desperately throwing roses after them.

"Come on!" he shouted breaking the scouts out of their attacks and running down the sewer.

They heard a loud splash. They looked behind them, standing there was a large ball of energy.

"Quick onto the Ice!" Mercury shouted and the group all jumped onto the ice and slid down the sewer on momentum alone until they reached water which they splashed into. The ball of energy rolled after them.

"This is a nice surprise isn't it?" Mars muttered as they ran.

"There's a manhole!" Jupiter shouted.

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" Venus shouted and fired blasting the manhole cover off.

"Jupiter go!" Mars shouted. Jupiter jumped.

"Venus!"

Venus went.

"Mercury!"

Mercury jumped.

"Go Tuxedo Mask!"

Tuxedo Mask jumped.

Mars moved to follow but was hit in mid stream as the ball of energy crashed into her. She shrieked and fell to the ground. The energy ball rolled down the sewer into darkness.

"Mars!" Mercury shouted.

"I'm..fine..." Mars lied. "I'll be along in a minute. Stop them!"

"All right," Mercury shouted.

The scouts were just down the street from the school.

"Let's go..." Jupiter said. The group hurried back towards where Puchirol and Cyprine were now launching energy attacks against the school itself.

"I hope Sailor Moon's okay," Mercury said.

"She'd be safer out here," Tuxedo Mask said.

"That could be debated easily on both sides," Venus said.

Cyprine and Puchirol noticed them again and turned back towards the scouts.

"Missing someone?" the two said.

"She said she'd be along," Mercury said.

"Oh..and where is Sailor Moon? Is she afraid?" the twins asked tauntingly.

"Maybe she is, or maybe she's just sweeping in behind you!" Jupiter shouted. Cyprine whirled, and then whirled back seeing their was no danger.

"Hah..very funny, but futile," Puchirol said.

"DEAD SCREAM!"

Came a shout. A dark blast of energy blast through the sky and smashed into Puchirol and Cyprine before they could react. They were pushed back several and thrown into a chain link fence.

Standing on the roof of the school was Sailor Pluto.

"Pluto!" the scouts shouted.

"Attack!" Pluto shouted.

"Jupiter Thunder Crash!"

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"

The two attacks exploded around Puchirol and Cyprine who screeched.

"Mercury....Aqua...Rhapsody," Mercury finished saying and unleashed a wide attack of blue energy which exploded across the area. The attack smashed into Puchirol and Cyprine and pushed them back again.

"You should focus the energy!" Sailor Pluto said leaping down from the school.

"What?" the others said.

"I have no time to explain. You two use your powers!" Pluto shouted. "Tuxedo Mask lets go."

"Oh.." Tuxedo Mask said. He and Pluto leapt forward. Roses flew from his hands and at Puchirol. Pluto fired an energy beam from her staff which hit Cyprine in the head.

"....Oak Evolution!"

"....And Beauty Shock!

The two attacks were finished and they flew out smashing into Puchirol and Cyprine. The two twins fell to the ground.

"Excellent," Sailor Pluto said.

Puchirol reached forward. Energy rippled along the ground uprooting sidewalk. Sailor Pluto jumped up quickly to avoid a tidal wave of cement. Tuxedo Mask dived away as best he could. The other scouts were quite tired and caught up in the wave and thrown back into a nearby building.

Puchirol and Cyprine stood up staring at them.

"We are all powerful!" they shouted.

"They're not kidding," Tuxedo Mask said.

"They're very weak, but we're dealing with two powerful enemies here, where's Mars?"

"...Soul!" came a shout as Mars' finished her attack. Red fire flew across the yard setting trees on fire and flying into a hastily built shield put up by Cyprine and Puchirol. They were still standing, but started panting. Mars stumbled down the street before collapsing to the ground.

"Dead Scream!" Pluto shouted quickly.

The attack flew out at the two. Puchirol stepped forward and met it with an energy attack. The attack dissipated.

"We still have enough power to beat the two of you," Cyprine said.

"But do you have enough to beat me!" came a cry. The scouts looked up no matter what their condition.

Sailor Moon stood there, her scepter in her hand.

"Moon Spiral Hearts Attack!" she shouted and sent out a massive ultra pink energy attack. Puchirol and Cyprine through an energy barrage at it. Sailor Moon strained to keep the attack going, as it met energy.

"Dead Scream!"

"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"

"Jupiter Thunderclap Crash!"

"Mars Celestial Fireball Surround!"

"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!"

A barrage of roses followed. The attacks smashed through the shields. The Spiral Hearts Attack burst in and smashed Puchirol apart, she disintegrated. Cyprine stood there. The Scouts all collapsed except for Sailor Moon who stood there.

"I'll kill you!" Cyprine shouted, her eyes glowed red, she became surrounded in energy. Sailor Moon winced.

"Moon Sword," she said.

Protect me Queen Serenity. She thought and charged forward. Cyprine ran forward screaming madly. Sailor Moon saw her arms swing forward. She slid under them and swung her sword into Cyprine. The energy blasted through the enemy. Cyprine exploded, Sailor Moon was hit and thrown back into the front door of the school smashing through it.

"She did it.." Sailor Pluto said.

"That she did," Tuxedo Mask said. "Took her some time, but she did it," he grinned.

"Well...who's going to pay for all the damage?" Principal Oksua said.

"I'm sure the Prime Minister would be glad to pay for it considering this was all to save her..sort of," Nagumo said.

"That's your best bet..still..Nagumo you could have your engineers come by and fix the place up."

"That I could do...and I will," Nagumo said with a smile. "But you really should try and keep some control of your students Oksua."

Oksua stared at him.

"Yeah...well...I've been completely blessed to have the sailor scouts in my high school isn't that just great...say..did you find who they were?"

"Sorry no."

"Though..now that I think about it....no..never mind.." Oksua said.

"What?" Ozaki said.

"Nothing, nothing," Oksua said.

"You okay Sailor Moon?" Jupiter asked.

"I've gone through school front doors before, but usually it was because I was late for class...this is a bit different," Sailor Moon said with a grin.

"You came through for us, but we'll have to have a talk about all this," Sailor Pluto said. "When you're all healed of course. I'll keep an eye out for trouble. You girls rest."

"We intend to," the five sailor scouts said and stumbled off.

"I'm proud of them," Sailor Pluto said.

"So am I. It's good that you showed up though." Tuxedo Mask said.

"I thought it might be necessary besides someone has to figure out what the Death Busters are up to..." Pluto said.

"Well we could use the help," Tuxedo Mask said. "You think whoever's behind is done."

"It's doubtful that those two were behind it. They're powerful, that's true, but there were two of them..I think that's it. Though I can't be sure."

"Still this is a force to be reckoned with."

"Yes, that is true. Queen Serenity thought that a build up like this might happen. I guess that's just what's happening. Let's see what we can do about stopping it. Say Tuxedo Mask...what would you say to buying me dinner after my long trip?"

"Sure thing, after all Sailor Moon will be in bed for several days, I'm sure I can get away with it."

Pluto grinned.

"Don't worry, I'll try not to be too tempting."

"Oh..please...just be yourself...heh heh.." Tuxedo Mask said.

"You're as immature as those girls at heart aren't you?"

"Maybe," Tuxedo Mask said.

"Sailor Pluto, Tuxedo Mask. How goes it?" Colonel Patterson asked walking up. He was covered with dust, dirt, charcoal, water, mud, ash, and some sort of yellow substance.

"You've seen better days Colonel," Pluto said.

"No, these are the best of my life, my uniforms just a little dirty, I almost got a punch in on that red haired one there..." Patterson said with a grin. "Well the scouts sure took a beating didn't they?"

"Yes, but they'll be back," Tuxedo Mask said.

"That's a sure thing, D.V. noticed that no matter what the odds or how insane a battle was, those five, usually end up jumping right into the next one.. I know Marines who couldn't get through all this without cracking," Patterson said.

"What makes you think they haven't cracked?" Pluto asked.

"Yeah...have you talked to them lately?" Tuxedo Mask said.

"No, and I don't think I will now," Patterson said. "Well..I've got a mess to clean up, my boy's not getting into trouble up on the moon is he?"

"He's getting into regular arguments with Sailors Neptune and Uranus, that's all."

"That's him. Those two won't hear the end of it until he kicks their butt in a fight."

"I hate to break it to you Colonel, but Uranus and Neptune are more powerful then Maverick is," Sailor Pluto said.

"And that's supposed to decide anything?" Patterson said and walked off.

"So..where do you want to go for dinner?" Tuxedo Mask asked rapidly changing the subject."

"I know there's a good place on seventh."

"Okay."

"Shall we go."

"My cars out back...at least I hope it is...."

Pluto smiled.

And the two walked off.

"Terurun!" The Dark One Shouted.

"Yes your Darkness," another lab coated woman said emerging from the shadows.

"Now it's your turn."
