Phantom on the Moon: Chapter 5 - The Fried and the Electrocuted
In the back of the palace, the Sailor Scouts of Jupiter were
standing, waiting for their target to arrive. Ever since Elder Jupiter saw
Younger Jupiter walk into the Throne Room, she's been worried about her
daughter. Younger Jupiter has had this look on her face that Elder Jupiter
could not place. It seemed like a look of shock, but not a shock. It was
as if Younger Jupiter learned something recently that surprised her. Elder
Jupiter decided to inquire about this, "Are you all right Lita? You look
like you've seen a ghost or something."
Younger Jupiter had been quiet pretty much all day and was in a day
dream of sorts when she was brought back to reality by her mother's
question, "Ya, I'm fine, just have a lot on my mind that all."
"Are you sure, cause you look like you
received the shock of your life sometime last night. I know your hiding
something. What is it? Spill."
Younger Jupiter was a little worried and tried to cover up what she
and the rest learned about Serena, but she knew she had to tell her mother
something. "I wish I could spill, but if I did, Pluto would get on my case,
not to mention the other Yougers' cases. All I can tell you is that it
concerns Sailor Moon."
"Well, since Pluto intervened, I can't pry any further. I'm proud
at how you and the rest of your friends have taken to this ordeal over the
past week," Elder Jupiter said.
Younger Jupiter smiled, "Thanks Mother, that........" Her sentence
was interrupted by what sounded like thunder just before a section of the
palace exploded. Both Jupiter looked around to find out what it came from
when a screech from over head caught their attention. Directly above them
was a yellow bird with what looked like a spiked feather style all over it.
Younger Jupiter spoke up, "That must Zapdos, the electric bird."
Elder Jupiter nodded, "Yes, it is. Remember, Sailor Moon said it's
weak against physical attacks. When ever it gets close try to give it a few
punches. JUPITER HURRICANE STRIKE." Elder Jupiter's attack went to its
target at the speed of light, but Zapdos seemed to absorb the attack, "What
the!!! How'd he do that?"
Younger Jupiter was in a rage by this point, "I don't know, but it
can dream on if it thinks it's going to win. JUPITER THUNDER CRASH." Like
Elder Jupiter's attack, Zapdos absorbed Younger Jupiter's attack as well,
but seemed to have more difficulty doing so, "I think it can only do that
trick early in the battle. Mother, try your attack again."
Elder Jupiter wasted no time, "JUPITER HURRICANE STRIKE," Zapdos
absorbed that attack as well, but was in greater pain then from Younger
Jupiter's attack, "I think your right Lita. Now together, JUPITER HURRICANE
STRIKE."
"JUPITER THUNDER CRASH," Younger Jupiter yelled right after her
mother. Both attacks hit simultaneously. They thought they had it beat
until it recovered and shot more lightning. Both Jupiter's dodged the
Thunder Shock attack by their skins. Fortunately, Zapdos made a mistake and
flew at Younger Jupiter, determined to give her a mouth full of its beak.
Younger Jupiter through a bunch of punches and kicks, sending Zapdos flying
into several walls.
Zapdos manage to get up and take to the sky again. As soon as it
was a safe distance from the Jupiter Scouts, it sent another electric
attack, but this attack formed a net of lighting bolts around them. Elder
Jupiter was a little sarcastic here, "Like my daughter said, dream on
electric bird brain, JUPITER HURRICANE STRIKE." The attack hit the net with
no effect.
"I'll get us out, JUPITER THUNDER CRASH," Younger Jupiter sent her
attack at the net, and it too had no effect on the net. Zapdos continued to
send more electric attacks at all the palace guards in the area, hitting
some of them. Those that could stand got the others out of the battle
area. Younger Jupiter was now ragging mad. People were getting hurt and
their was nothing she could do. Knowledge began to flood her head. She
crossed her arms in front of her as if to perform another attack.
"Lita, save your energy, it won't......," Elder Jupiter never
finished her sentence.
Lita Rose her lighting rod on her tiara and sent her attack at the
net, "JUPITER THUNDER DRAGON." Younger Jupiter's attack formed an
electrical dragon, and the Dragon bite the net with its teeth. The net, and
the dragon disappeared in an explosion. As soon as the smoke cleared, both
Younger and Elder Jupiter looked for, and found Zapdos before they sent
their attacks at the bird, "JUPITER THUNDER DRAGON."
"JUPITER HURRICANE STRIKE," Zapdos saw the attacks coming and easily
dodged them. However, the electric dragon came around and swallowed Zapdos
whole. In an attempt to break out, Zapdos sent a thunder shock, but it
ended up destroying itself along with the electric dragon.
After the situation was settled Elder Jupiter took Lita aside for a
moment, "Lita, how'd you do that?"
Younger Jupiter shrugged her shoulders, "Don't know. I just got
real angry and then I did the attack. It just came to me when I saw all the
guards get hurt."
Elder Jupiter decided to continue this topic later, "We should get
to the Throne Room. If that Doom Phantom shows up, I don't know if Sailor
Moon can do it on her own." Younger Jupiter agreed and they set off for the
Thrown Room.
On the North side of the Palace, it was pretty much the same as the
south side and the back of the palace. Elder and Younger Mercury were
waiting for their target to arrive, the firebird, Moltres.
Both Mercurys had their visors and computers out, performing scans
every where they could. Elder Mercury, however, noticed that Younger
Mercury was a little distracted lately, "Amy, sweet heart, are you alright?"
Younger Mercury turned her visor off to answer her mother, "I'm
fine, mother, just have a lot of things on my mind."
Elder Mercury asked, "Care to be more specific? I already figured
that out."
Amy lowered her head, "I wish I could, but you know what Pluto
would do if I did."
This caught Elder Mercury's attention, "You found out something
about the future? How........never mind, I won't ask."
"Mother, what's that up there," Younger Mercury pointed up into the
sky as she put her visor back on. At about the same height as the nearby
clouds, both Mercurys spotted a small flame in the sky. When Younger
Mercury got a closer look through her visor, she noticed it wasn't a fire,
it was a firebird, "There's Moltres, up high. Let's give him a cold
reception. MERCURY BUBBLES BLAST."
"MERCURY ICE SHARDS IMPALE," Both attacks went up to Moltres just as
it started its dive. Unfortunately, it did the expected, dodged both
attacks, "Well, shall we try that again?" Unfortunately, they didn't have
time to power up another attack. Moltres got close enough to send a Fire
Spin attack. Both Mercury's got out of the way.
"Remember what Sailor Moon said about the Fire Spin attack. If your
got in the middle you got 30 seconds to act fast." At this point, Moltres
got close enough to fly right over Younger Mercury, who felt a little warm
from the fly by of the bird's heat.
At that point, seeing the bird distracted, Elder Mercury sent
another attack, "MERCURY ICE SHARDS IMPALE." Moltres never saw it coming at
took all the blast, but was still in one piece. Moltres turned around and
sent another Fire Spin. Thins time both Mercurys were right in the middle
as the fire tornado landed and started to shrink. Elder and Younger Mercury
wasted no time, "MERCURY ICE SHARDS IMPALE."
"MERCURY BUBBLES BLAST," Both attacks hit the tornado, but had no
affect. At this point, Younger Mercury did something she rarely did, she
started to get really angry, "This is nuts. How are we suppose to put out a
fire, when our attacks do no good." Knowledge started to flood Younger
Mercury's head. She placed her hands in front of her, as if holding a
baseball. Elder Mercury was about to tell her to save her energy for
jumping out of the mess they were in when Amy shouted, "MERCURY ICE BUBBLES
FREEZE." Younger Mercury's attack went in all directions as if to fog the
entire area with her usual bubbles. The fire tornado soon turned into an
ice tornado and then crumbled in a pile of ice. Moltres saw this and
screeched before it turned to attack, but before it could power up another
attack, both Mercurys went to work, "MERCURY ICE BUBBLES FREEZE."
"MERCURY ICE SHARDS IMPALE," The attacks went at break neck speed.
Moltres had no time to dodge and was put out to a pile of dust. Both
Mercurys didn't even congratulate each other as they silently agreed to get
to the Throne Room.
