Chapter 255
"Sy! We're going out there," Visara said.
"Visara..we can't..it's sucide!" Sy said.
"I'll go without you."
"You can't fly her."
"Sy...please.."
"Visara..don't," Sailor Moon said.
"I must, I won't lose here..I will die out there," Visara said.
"Visara..come back to your senses," Azura said.
"Azura.."
"You're not going to die, becoming a martyr and taking other people with you is not the way to win this," Azura said. "Now fight them..fight them hard."
Visara stopped.
"You're right," she said. "All right, enough of the stupid ideas, let's go to it!"
The others hurried to the caverns again and continued the fight.
"This isn't going to work," Sailor Uranus said staring at one of the energy weapons flickering in her hands.
"It just might," Sailor Saturn said. "We have to let it accept you."
"What?" Sailor Uranus asked.
Saturn picked up the sword and held it. She closed her eyes. The sword flashed blue.
Saturn dashed to a window, a blue flash exploded out of the sword and blew apart a roof.
"Sorry.." she said.
"That is destructive," Sailor Pluto said. "But you're mist wave could have taken out a block."
"It dims our power, but if we merge with it we get a compromise," Sailor Saturn said.
"We need our full power though for their army" Sailor Neptune said.
"Maybe if we use some strategy it could work out," Sailor Pluto said.
"I'm not sure about this," Sailor Uranus said.
"I believe it is the best we can do," the wizard said. "Incompatible magics rarely work together that well. Your magic comes from another dimension, this is the best you can expect."
A bell started going off.
"The alarm," Latric said.
"Looks like we've got no time to plan," Sailor Uranus muttered.
The scouts hurried out and were racing through the streets.
"What's happening Janus?" Latric asked as the group headed up the steps to the walls.
"The amazons are moving, but they're taking up a defensive position too," Janus said.
"Against who?" Latric asked.
"Them!" Sailor Jupiter said. A large force was moving from the north.
"Who are they?" Sailor Mars asked.
"Those troops are Jasorikan," Tijiro said walking up flanked by Princess Sakuro said.
"You're kiddng, they're actually getting involved," Janus said.
"Yes," Sakuro said. "I have no idea why though."
"They're going to fight them right?" Sailor Venus asked.
"They would not be in the attack formation of the generations if they weren't," Sakuro asked.
"The W=what?" Everyone else asked.
"It's hard to explain," Tijiro said. "Don't you have other problems?"
"They're going to assault the city too," Sailor Pluto said.
"Looks like they want to leave their behinds covered," Sailor Neptune said.
"I think we should get in on the action now," Sailor Mars said.
The scouts all grinned.
"Latric you wait here...move in if you think it's time to do clean up," Sailor Uranus said.
"She means move in when you can be the most useful," Maverick added.
"He knows," Sailor Uranus said.
"I don't think he did," Maverick said clutching a native energy weapon. "Now I'm going to do some more damage."
He leapt off the rampart. Uranus followed clutching a similar weapon.
"Mars Fire Ignite!"
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
"Jupiter Thunder Zap!"
"Neptune Deep Submerge!"
"Saturn Mist Wave!"
"Pluto Dead Scream!"
The six attacks stopped the amazon line and threw a hole into it. The six scouts spread out along the line to deflect more attacks. Maverick and Uranus followed. The two went into combat and dove into the lines tearing into them. Meanwhile the Jasorikan troops were in a brawl with the amazons that moved to stop them.
"We may win this one yet," Latric said.
"Moon Spiral Hearts Attack!" Sailor Moon shouted. Another group of balloons collasped.
"How you holding up Sailor Moon?" Visara asked.
"I..uh.." Sailor Moon muttered before sinking to one knee. "I can't do this forever," she said.
"All right, take a break," Visara said. "Watch us get em."
"How?" Sailor Moon asked.
The balloons swept in towards the main cave entrance. Other amazons had climbed and were rushing in. A barrage of energy flew down the cave and leveled them, more kept coming, the energy kept coming, the two sides soon stopped and were sending barrages down the cave.
"That's it," Visara said crouching behind a rock. The barrages kept coming.
"Neptune Golden Triton Impale!" Neptune shouted from his knees. Several amazons fell.
"That's all I've got," he said and did his best to support himself.
Saturn limped forward nursing a wounded leg. He drew his sword and sent a barrage down it. A barrage flew back at them. They all dived out of the way. The amazons charged forward. Saturn and Neptune fired back.
"Pluto Storm Fist!" Pluto shouted and raced forward leveling most of the amazons.
And they still kept coming.
Sailor Pluto had just blasted yet another group of amazons to the ground. This was getting tiring, despite the Jasoriko's arrival and the scout's efforts, the amazon horde seemed to be endless. She knew it wasn't. She knew they just had to keep fighting. But this was exhausting.
"Pluto Dead Scream!" She shouted again. Another column fell, but a blast of
energy flew by her skimming her arm. She winced slightly and then renewed her
defense.
Sailor Saturn was tempted to dive into the mass of soldiers like Maverick and Sailor Uranus had. She would use her scythe to cut them down, but then that would mean their deaths, and she couldn't do that. Still the idea of unleashing her mist wave in the middle of the fray had some merit, if she wasn't going to be hit from all sides after that This angered her, her impulse was to throw herself into it, but she knew better. She didn't understand why she was getting two different ideas at the same time.
"Saturn Mist Wave!" She shouted following the attack up with some blasts from
her scythe.
"Neptune Deep Submerge!" Neptune shouted all business. She tried to be relaxed as possible during battles, but this was a critical one, there was little room for casualness. She had to be on the ball constantly. She thought she was, but the massive number of amazons still standing across the field was somewhat discouraging.
"When will you get the idea you're not welcome!" She shouted in frustration
and launched her attack again.
Sailor Mercury once again was wondering why there wasn't a better solution to all of this then just launching barrage after barrage of attacks. Of course then again she was used to this line of thought going nowhere. There was nothing more then she could do then send icy waves of energy at the enemy and knock them back. How annoying it was. She hated to be involved in these kind of battles. She could do so much more thinking if she didn't have to personally handle things. But it was out of her hands.
"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!" She cried.
Sailor Jupiter liked a good brawl. This was far from a good one. This was beyond a good one. Thousands upon thousands of people brawling was a complete and utter..she didn't know what to call it. She knew there was a word, but that didn't matter. She was into it, but she hoped there was some way to actually win. That didn't seem to viable with the hordes rushing towards her. Still, the hardest fights were the ones she enjoyed the most.
"Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!" She shouted energetically.
Sailor Mars was as sick of fighting as the next person, but she didn't like the amazons, even though she had one been on their side for a time,.she hadn't trusted them, and after the emotional brainwashing event she was just a wary of them. She wanted to hurt them, to get rid of their power. She wanted them to setlle down. And they weren't listening. So the only solution was to keep fighting, and she was up for it.
"Mars Celestial Fireaball Surround!" She shouted. More of them collasped. She
grinned.
Sailor Venus was annoyed too. She had been in a bad mood since this had all started and this battle to end all battles wasn't helping in the least. She was going to hurt someone, and these troublesome amazons were in her line of sight. Too bad for them. She thought. Still, they brought it on themselves, she can't be responsible for the consequences, and even if she was.
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"
Sailor Uranus didn't know why she was so into fighting on the ground. She was
more vulnerable and her sword wasn't as powerful even though she was shooting
her power through the native weapon. The amazons were trying to swamp her and
blast her. She wasn't going along with the idea, but was getting tiring to have
to avoid the attacks constantly. Still she also felt invigorated. Their best was
not enough to stop her, yet. She concentrated and launched another blast through
the sword. Another group collapsed.
Maverick felt the sword he was using was too heavy, but he tried to make due,
his speed was cut down as he used it, but at least the stunning he was doing
would be a little more final. It annoyed him that his usual tactic of racing
through a crowd with swords didn't work with them. He was also reminded of the
last time he had fought mobs of an enemy, that battle had no turned out too well
for him. But then again, he didn't expect it to be any better. He sheathed his
native sword drew his usual one and sliced through an amazon column. I'll settle
for this for now. He thought.
"They're putting up a good fight," Princess Sakuro said.
"Yeah..they're pretty tough," Tijiro said.
"But then again our armies doing well," Sakuro said.
"Pretty good considering they never fight anyone," Tijiro said.
"Will you get off that, I don't see you out there," Sakuro said.
"Fine," Tijiro said drawing his sword.
"No don't!" Sakuro shouted. Tijiro leapt off the parapets and charged into battle.
"That idiot," Sakuro said.
The brawl continued. The amazons reformed and charged at the city. They were met by a barrage of energy and scout energy, all the while the Jaorikans were pushing them back. Tijiro found himself facing several thousand amazons. He stared them down hoping to convince them he was more powerful then he actually was. They didn't buy it and charged at him. He raced off in the other direction.
Maverick had since finished off another column, but the amazons were beginning to come after him with greater vigor. He cut away another group and leapt for some breathing space. The amazons formed up to fight him, but a figure moved in front of them.
"He is mine," Materic said drawing his energy sword.
Maverick's eyes widened for a second with concern.
I can't beat him exhausted like this. He thought.
Materic advanced.
"I will destroy you know," he said.
Maverick's eyes narrowed.
The cave entrance had become a hand to hand battleground. The amazons were rushing forward, but the resistance and the Guardian Scouts were going at it in their own brawl. Guardian Neptune was thrown back several feet and skidded against the ground.
"Figures!" He said and jumped back into the fight. Uranus jabbed his sword into one of the amazons only to be hit from the side and propelled sideways. Tuxedo Mask swung his staff around hitting ts many of the enemy as he could. He hit an amazon only to be tackled by another. The brawl continued. Sailor Moon drew her moon sword.
"Are you sure you want to get involved in that?" Visara asked.
Sailor Moon smiled.
"No," she said and charged foreward into the battle. Visara sighed and charged in after her.
The brawl continued.
Visara felt a pain in her side. She winced as an amazon withdrew her sword.
"Not a full blast," She said and hit the amazon back. She winced with exhaustion. This could not be the end. She felt herself pulled back.
"Let me fight," She said.
"You've had enough," Azura said.
"Azura..you gotta let me back in there," Visara said.
"No, I will fight for you."
"You will?"
Azura nodded and took up a sword. She stepped into the fray. Visara sighed.
"How I've waited for my revenge," Materic said.
"What for three days?" Maverick muttered.
"You will not beat me a second time."
"Uranus World Shaking!" came a shout. A wave of energy slammed into Materic and knocked him to the ground. Sailor Uranus landed beside Maverick.
"Looks like you needed some help," Uranus said.
"It might have looked that way," Maverick said.
"Perhaps we should back off a little."
"Not a bad idea," Maverick said. The two hurried off with the amazons racing
after them.
"There's just soo many of them," Sailor Pluto said looking over the area.
"Even with the jasorikan army, this is a mess," Latric said.
"Latric we may have to let them into the city to trap them," Sailor Pluto said.
"I know, maybe we can hold out a little longer," Latric said.
"We'll try," Sailor Pluto said. "But this is stretching us to the limit."
"I understand," Latric said.
Sailor Pluto stood there and concentrated.
Queen Serenity, can you feel our prescence even this far away? She asked.
Queen Serenity please.
Sailor Pluto. I cannot speak long. What is it that you wish. Queen Serenity replied.
You must give the scouts even greater power.
But over so far a distance. How can I?
I don't know. But we must. Or we will not win.
Very well. I will do what I must. Queen Serenity thought. But..Pluto if I do this now, we will not be able to be in contact for some time.
I understand. You will need to replenish yourself.
Yes..I'm afraid it may take some time.
Thank you.
Sailor Pluto felt herself surrounded with energy as she recieved a power upgrade of her own.
"Pluto Aura of Destiny!" Pluto shouted. A larger wave smashed through an
amazon column blasting them to the ground.
The others could feel the power.
Sailor Mars felt the transformation withhin her. She now had another power, but one she could only use once, like Fire Soul before. Only Fire Soul was now available to her even more. She felt she had the strength. She pulled the power and strength she had.
"MARS! Warrior's inferno!" She shouted.
Out of the her hands flew a massive attack. It enveloped ten thousand amazons and they dropped.
"Wow.." she said.
Sailor Venus could also feel the power flowing through her. She could feel it's strength and she liked it despite the fact that she was near the point of collapse. She also called upon the power inside of her.
"Venus..Passionate Fury!" she shouted.
A golden barrage flew from her hands and punched through the lines.
"Take that," she muttered weakly.
Sailor Jupiter grinned as she felt her new power.
"Brace yourself," She said. "Jupiter Sparkling Wide Pressure!"
The attack crackled and leveled another group of the amazons.
Jupiter sank to the ground and gasped.
"It was worth it," she said.
Mercury accepted the power calmly and searched for the best targets to use it again.
"There.." She said and aimed. "Mercury Frigid Tsunami!" she shouted. A spiral
of water and wind swirled over the enemy and dropped more of them. Mercury held
onto the rampart for support satisfyied with her work.
"Neptune Sparkling Reflection!" Neptune shouted without contemplation. There was no time for that. Several thousand amazons collapsed in the attacks wake.
She fought off the urge to drop frome exhaustion and looked for any other
attackers.
"Saturn...Dimensional Revolution!" Sailor Saturn shouted. Her power attack blasted along the line, leaving more stunned amazons.
"A pity you had to recieve that," She said.
"Hah..now..they're going to feel my wrath even more," Uranus said leaning against a wall. "I'm going to punch a hole right through them.
"Uranus...Quaking Tremor!" she shouted. Her attack blasted the ground and the people around it.
"Impressed?" she asked a weakened Maverick before falling to one knee.
"If I had the strength, I might be," Maverick muttered.
Uranus grinned.
"They aren't giving up," Latric said as the amazons reformed again. Most of his troops were lying wounded or stunned by him.
"The scouts are exhausted, our troops are gone, the Jasorikans are gradually whittling them at heavy loses," Janus said. "And they're still advancing."
"We'll fight them house to house," Latric said.
"Sir..even with our traps," Janus said. "We don't have the men to capitalize on it."
"Oh..I see," Latric said. "Then we'll fight to the end."
"Yes we will," Janus said.
The amazons advanced, there was only about a thousand of them left, but that was more then enough to take the weakened city. They were surprised to see a small force of Martorians emerging from the city.
"You really think you can defeat us with them?" the leader of the amazons said.
"They've got help," came a cry. Out of the gates came the students of Juuban High School all holding energy weapons.
"You've got to be kidding," the leader said.
"We will fight you to the last," Latric said. "And even the outwordlers will help. This is your last chance to give up."
"You Zaiesk fools, trying to take on three countries at once, pretty stupid if you ask me," Princess Sakuro said holding a sword.
"You are the fools, who do not see defeat even when it stares you in the face," the leader said.
There was a squawk, the eagle flew over head and a figure dropped from it.
Sailor Moon stood there.
"Hi everyone," She said cheerfully. The group despite the gravity of the situation all replied pleasantly.
"So you amazons still haven't lost yet..jeez..guess I have to take care of you," Sailor Moon said pulling out a much newer sceptre. The scouts all noticed her uniform was somewhat different as well.
The amazons charged. The others fired knocking them back.
"Galactic Moonlight Attack!" Sailor Moon shouted.
A wave of multicolored energy flew from her at the last second. The amazons all dropped.
Sailor Moon sank to the ground.
"Way to go Sailor Moon!" the group all shouted.
"Uh..listen all of you," Sakuro said. "We've got to zap as many of these guys as possible before they wake up..can you do it?"
"We'll try," one of the students said and the group hurried around.
"Sailor Moon are you all right?" Latric asked.
"I'm very tired," Sailor Moon said.
"The resistnace?" Latric asked.
"They won," Sailor Moon said. "Barely."
"Guess we just have to clean up the mess huh?" Latric asked.
"I'm going to sleep," Sailor Moon said and fell asleep right there on the ground.
There was a flash of light. The skies darkened. A female voice erupted from the sky.
"This war has been decided." It said. "All those that particpated and fell will not fight again. It is done."
"Uh..the great wizard has spoken it seems," Latric said.
"About time," Sakuro muttered. "If she's so grand, why not just prevent all this stuff in the first place."
"I guess that isn't her job," Latric said.
"Interesting way of putting it," Sakuro said. "But maybe you're right."
"What a mess ey?" Tijiro muttered wandering up covered in dirt.
"How did you get through all this?" Sakuro muttered.
"No idea," Tijiro said.
Sakuro laughed.
