JUPITER KNIGHT PART III
Lita stepped out of the bathroom, and looked around. Last night, she
didn't get to look at anything that well, since she was so tired. She heard
a ruffling of a sheet.
Lita turned to the sound and saw Ken sitting up: So, finally awake? And
who was going to wake me up?
She teased Ken a little, then saw he was sad that he wasn't able to do
what he promised.
Ken: I'm sorry. It's my fault.
Lita: It's okay. Don't worry. I was just joking around. Don't take it
so seriously.
Ken lightened up a little and tossed a pillow over at Lita.
Lita: Hey?!
Ken ducked as Lita threw it back. He got up and looked for his clothes.
When he found them, he quickly went into the bathroom. He did his business
and got out. Lita was sitting at the foot of her bed, watching TV. Ken
sat beside her and looked at the screen.
Ken: What are you watching?
Lita: Something called Seseme Street.
Ken saw all the puppets move around and laughed: Lita? Aren't you a
little too old for this stuff?
Lita looked kind of embarassed. She pretended to sock him.
Ken: Hey. It was just a question!
Lita: I'm hungry. Let's see if anyone woke up yet.
They took the keys and locked the room. Then, they walked to Serena's
room. Lita knocked softly.
Darien was sitting on the floor, crosslegged. He was playing with a
handheld game or something. He heard someone knock on the door.
Darien: Come in.
Lita and Ken walked in. Lita looked at the two made beds. She was
surprised Serena woke up so early.
Darien saw the look of surprise in her face.
Darien: Amazing isn't it? Serena actually woke up before ten.
Lita nodded: Yup, maybe she's actually becoming more responsible!
Darien looked at Lita. They both shook their heads: Nahh!
Serena just then came out of the bathroom. She looked angry.
Serena: I heard that!
Everyone in the room broke out in laughter, even Serena. Mina, Rei, and
Ami walked through the open door, confused at why everyone was laughing.
Luna was the first to stop laughing, and tried to calm everyone else down.
Luna: So, no that everyone is here. Why don't we all go down and get
something to eat?
There was a round of "UMM-HUM"s and "OKAY"s. Everyone was famished.
Ken: What are we going to eat?
All the girls said at once: Doughnuts!
Darien shrugged helplessly: Majority rules.
MEANWHILE...IN PIONICITE'S ROOM
Pionicite: Ohh! These filthy humans! So low-tech. I can't wait too get
rid of them! They are a total waist of energy! Why no just drain all their
energy and use it for the Negaverse?
Pionicite paced about the room, thinking of a plan to attract the scout's
attention. She suddenly came to a halt.
Pionicite: I know! I will attack one of those cruise ships. That will
attract their attention. Then, when I get them to sea, they will already in
my perfect trap! I can command the forces of the water to swaallow them! I
am brilliant! Hahahhahahhahaha!
Pionicite just laughed insanely for a while. Sensing humans getting near,
she quickly reverted to her human form, and sat on the sofa. There was a
slight knock on the door.
Pionicite: Who is it?
A bell hop on the other side of the door answered: Bellhop, ma'am. May
I come in and change the sheets, empty the trash, and do the other things.
Pionicite smiled wickedly: Why sure!
The bell hop slowly opened the door and saw Pionna perched on the sofa,
she gracefully crossed her legs, and stared at him.
Bellhop: I'm sorry, do you want me to come back later?
Pionna laughed: Ofcourse not! Come here, I won't bite.
Slowly, the bellhop came to Pionna. As soon as he was near enough, she
snatched him up by the shoulders.
Bellhop: Hey, cut it out. Let me down.
Pionna: Tell me your name!
Bellhop: P-p-p-aul. P-p-p-paul J-j-jinks
Pionna held him even tighter: Well, Paul, say goodbye to this world!
Paul: No, let me down! Weirdo!
Pionna began sucking air out of his lungs. Paul struggled, feeling
queasy. Pionna sucked all the air out of him, including all his energy.
She dropped him onto the floor.
Pionna: No use using him anymore!
With the renewed energy, she turned Paul's limp body into a cockroach.
She felt energetic, and decided to go shopping before continuing her mission.
Serena was busing hogging all the doughnuts, and never bothered to even
finish chewing before she swallowed. Ofcourse, she promptly started choking
on a mouthful of doughnuts. Darien had to smack her on the back, and she
coughed some out, spraying it into her plate.
Dairen: Take it easy, Serena. No one is going to steal it from you.
Serena: Oh. Heeeheee.
She blushed a little, but still kept stuffing herself with doughnuts.
The other girls weren't paying any attention to Serena. As usual, Ami had
her nose in another book. Mina and Rei were looking at a group of guys who
had just come in. Mina tried to look cool, but instead, she spilled some
coffee on Rei.
Rei: Hey!
Mina: Opps! Sorry.
Both girls looked like they wanted to crawl into a hole and die. Reeni
was picking sprinkles off of her doughnuts. She was sitting across from
Ami, and staring at her intently.
Ami noticed and put down her book.
Ami: What are you looking at?
Reeni: What are you reading?
Ami: It's a book by Mimi Yang. I heard it's very popular here.
Reeni: What is it about?
Ami: The astrologilio physics of chemistrical...
Ami started talking in big words, and Reeni formed a huge sweat drop. On
a table across from them, Lita and Ken were sitting there, talking. Lita
was nibbling on a chocolate doughnut, and Ken was drinking about a gallon of
coffee. Ken looked at Lita, with blurry eyes.
Ken: How come your not eating?
Lita: Actually, I don't feel like eating doughnuts anymore. I feel like
scrambled eggs and bacon.
Ken: Do you want me to go get some for you? There's a restruant right
next door.
Lita smiled: No, that's okay. How come all you drink is coffee?
Ken: I usually don't eat breakfast. And I can't see colors in the morning
until I drink my coffee.
Lita laughed at that joke.
Serena went up to them, with Luna, and sat down on an empty seat. She
looked at them and asked a question.
Serena: Want to go on a cruise today?
Lita: Sure, why not, nothing else to do. Is it okay with you, Ken?
Ken: Yeah, sure.
Serena went to Ami's table to consult. Lita and Ken just sat there star-
ing at each other.
Ken: Wow, Lita. Your beautiful.
Lita blushed deeply, and looked away from his eyes: Umm, thanks.
Ken: I'm glad I have you all to myself.
Lita was embarassed by all this attention. She excused herself to go to
the bathroom. When she came back, everyone was getting ready to leave.
Darien called a car renting agency and rented a van. The van was parked in
front of the curb, and he was leaning against the door.
Serena: Shot gun!
Ami, Rei, Reeni, and Mina squeezed into the back. Lita an Ken shared the
two seats in the middle. They had to share a seatbelt, and it was pretty
tight in there. Ken sat next to the window, and Lita sat next to him,
practically on his lap. On the ride to shore, Lita felt Ken breathe into
her hair. When they got close to the ocean, Serena almost jumped out of the
van.
Serena: Look! The ocean!
Lita swung her head, to look at what Serena was pointing at. She hit Ken
in the head with the bottom of her pony tail.
Ken: UGHGUGH!
Lita: Sorry. My hair get out of control sometimes.
Mina and Rei: We know!
These two also had a tasteful of Lita's hair once in a while. Darien
parked the van in a guarded parking lot, and they walked to harbor. There
were not a lot of people boarding the ship, so they got a fair price on the
ticket. As they climbed onto the SS Catalina, Serena squealed.
Serena: Oh! I love boats!
Reeni and Serena ran around the desck, excited, looking here and there.
The final boarding call was givin out, and the ship slowy pulled out of
the harbor. Smoothly, almost as if the ship was flying, it made it's way
farther out to sea. What they didn't know was that also on the ship, was
Pionna.
Pionna was in a little room on the ship, singing softly to herself. She
was just getting ready to start her plan. As soon as the ship came out far
enough to be hard to reach. Then, she would start a storm, drain everyone's
energy.
An hour later, far, far out in sea, Pionna started her plan.
Lita and Ken were still on deck, looking at the ocean. The clouds, looked
dark and dangerous.
Ken: We should go in. It looks like rain.
Lita: Okay, let's find the others.
They made their way around the deck, looking for their friends. Suddenly,
the ship jolted and came to a halt. Lita loss her balance and walked into
Ken. Ken held her up, until she regain her balance.
Lita: Thanks.
Ken nodded, but still held her hand. The people around them were a little
bit worried. More than a little bit. A small child shouted.
Child: We're going down!
That signaled everyone to panic. Ken held tightly to Lita's hands, as
they searched and searched through the panic stricken crowd for any familiar
face. Finally, they found Serena and the others in the ballroom. Serena
looked worried, hold Reeni close, and hugging Darien's arms. Outside, the
people were running around, saving this, looking for that. They really
thought it was going to end. Large droplets of rain dropped down onto the
deck. Strange enough, anyone who was hit by the "rain" would feel weak and
faint. Ofcourse, after a short period of time, no one was running anymore,
everyone was on the floor, unconcious.
Rei was the first to speak: I have bad vibes about this.
Ami: Could it be the Negaverse?
Mina: Duh! Who else would do that
Lita just snuggled farther into Ken's arms. She was scared. This
time she had a feeling she might not make it. It was different. She KNEW
one of them might not make it.
Ken, sensing Lita was scared held her tighter: Don't worry, we'll beat'em!
Serena: Transform!
Moon Cosmic Power!
Mercury Star Power!
Mars Star Power!
Venus Star Power!
Chibi Moon Cosmic!
Earth Cosmic!
Make-up!
Everyone but Lita and Ken transformed. When the others saw Lita still in
her regular clothes, they were shocked.
Moon: Lita, are you scared. Maybe you should sit this one out?
Lita: No, I won't desert you guys.
Lita, still holding Ken's hand, shouted.
Lita: Jupiter, Cosmic, Star...Makeup!
Ken: Jupiter Knight...Power!
The two Jupiters circled each other once, and leaves surrounded them,
melting into the uniforms. Sailor Jupiter closed her eyes as she felt the
tingling sensation on her head. Her rose earrings bloomed, and her tiara
formed on her forehead. Jupiter Knight felt the sword push into his hand,
but he took it and hid it in his belt, which melted into a metal plate, hold-
ing his sword. They stopped, posing for just a second, and moved.
Jupiter: What are you all staring at? Let's get out there and fight!
Moon: That's the spirit.
Tuxeedo mask was about to say something corny, but everyone rushed out the
door.
Tux: Oh well, I'll say it later!
Hovering above the ship, was Pionicite. She was looking down, gloat-
over what a great job she did. When, to her surprise, the Sailor Scouts came
out of a doorway.
Pionicite thought to herself: Well, well, what a surprise! I guess
we'll just go straight to Plan B!
Pionicite: I call upon the great seas, swallow these humans!
The scouts saw the water outside the ship starting to rise. They all
started to panic.
Tux: Everyone, get down on the floor!
All of them started for the floor. The frezzing cold water
crashed down onto them. Luckily, the wave of water wasn't as strong, it hit
the deck and washed out. Jupiter first got up, soaked to the skin, and stood
up, her teeth chattering.
Jupiter: It takes more than that to keep us down!
Moon got up, placing a hand on Jupiter: You got that right!
Mars stood up: We're tough.
Venus: We're rough!
Chibi moon: We're mean!
Tux: We're keen!
JKnight: We won't let evil prevail!
Mercury finnaly got up: And we are SMART!
All the scouts looked at her: Huh?
Mercury: There was nothing else to say!
Pionicite dropped down, a few yards away from them. SHe threw her head
back and laughed insanely.
Pionicite: You really think you can defeat the evil? You really think
so Sailor Moon? Well, think again!
Pionicite raised her arms high over her head, and started growing.
She was getting bigger by the minute.
Pionicite chanted: Forces of the Negaverse, give me the power! Forces
of the Negaverse give me the power! Forces...
Mercury: We have to stop her! If we don't do something soon, it'll
be too late!
Mars: Mars...Celestial...Fire...Surround!
Rings of fire surrounded Pionicite, and they started getting smaller
and smaller.
Pionicite: Mwahahahah! Mwhahahahha!
She continued growing larger, breaking the ring of fire.
Venus: Our powers, they're useless.
Tuxeedo threw a rose at Pionicite, but it fell, no harm was done.
When she was as tall as all the scouts lined together, she stopped.
Pionicite pointed a finger at her enemies, and glared evily. Her
eyes glowing redder by the minute.
Pionicite: Feel the FORCE!
A ball of energy headed for the scouts. All of the scouts braced
themselves for what was coming. Jupiter Knight quickly ran in front of
Sailor Jupiter, shielding her with his body. Tuxeedo Mask surrounded
Chibi Moon with his cape, protecting her like a coccoon. Fast, the ball
of evil energy hit them.
All the scouts flew back, into the side of the ship.
All: Ahhhhh.
They hit the ship with a thump. All of them fell to the floor.
Pionicite: So, you give up?
Moon: Ughhh. Never!
Sailor Jupiter: Jupiter...Supreme...Oak...Evolution!
A barrage of leaves flew to Pionicite. At the speed of light, the
leaves evolved into razor like chips of green. Pionicite threw a hand
toward Sailor Jupiter's way. The leaves stopped halfway, falling onto the
ground. She didn't stop yet. She screeched, a high, high voice.
All the scouts covered their ears. The ship started rumbling, a
rumbling from under. The rumbling started to get closer and closer. As
it reached the surface of the ship, the deck split in two. Everyone
scrambled from the edge of the ship.
Sailor Chibi Moon ran straight to Pionicite. Pionicite looked
down from her new height.
Pionicite: So, does the baby want to join me to kill off these
useless twits?
Chibi Moon: Moon Heart Attack!
This caught Pionicite off guard, and she winced at the burn Sailor
Chibi Moon made.
Pionicite: You little brat! You'll pay for this!
