Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: The Movie Hey! I'm Efrain Benavides, aka EfrainMan. Yeah, I know the Starlights don?t do anything in my story but fly away, and it?s not in script format, but I couldn?t think of anything else for a title. Please excuse any incorrect information, but my Sailor Moon knowledge consists of the NA version and clips I downloaded From "Ms. Haruna?s Homeroom" (http://haruna.simplenet.com/). I used Japanese names only when there is no English equivalent from the DiC dub, so there. ;p Hey, some of us actually LIKE the DiC dub. And I'm using American terms for certain cultural stuff I don't know how to use (e.g., not "Haruna-sensei" but "Ms. Haruna"). Special thanks to Virginia Potter! E-mail comments, questions, and/or flames to "RVillalobo@aol.com". Oh! You know the drill. Don't copy, change, or anything to this story without my permission, or I'll send my cat, Tsuki, after you. Hey, don't look at me that way, that was her name long before I knew Sailor Moon existed. It's just a coincidence. I hope. Now, let's get this show on the road: "An artist doesn't finish his work, he only abandons it." -Chuck Jones Alien terminology: 1 click=2 hours 1 gobj=2 months 1 kecam=around 4 liters 1 pahced=1 kilogram 1 shrem=2 degrees Celcius ***************************************************************************** Part 8: Super Sailor Mercury saw the two demons and started to walk backwards back into the corridor, but it had disappeared. She then remembered the other corridor, the one she knew probably had traps. Then she got an idea. "Hi there!" she shouted to the duo, "Looking for me?" She walked next to the other doorway and leaned back against the side, like she hadn't a care in the world. In reality, she was holding back a panic. The duo spun around to see her leaning back. They also had a cool attitude, but were nervous as well. "And who are you?" Fidj asked. "I am Super Sailor Mercury, and I stand for the polar waters and intelligence. And in the place of Mercury, I will punish you." "Well, child," Captain Jofril asked, "Why don't you be a good little girl and tell us where that source of magic is. If you do, we'll leave just as soon as we get it." "I'm wearing it," she replied as she pointed to the Mystic Ice Harp on her back. "Well, as long as you're being so cooperative, why don't you give it to us?" Fidj said as he held out his hand. "Hmmm," Mercury said as she feigned to think, "Nah." "Give it to us," Jofril said through gritted teeth, "or we'll rip it AND your spine off your back." "Well then, You just better come here and get it." The two demons were instantly mad and charged her. Mercury raised her left arm and concentrated. Then the entire underground fortress was permeated with her trademark Bubbles as she used her newfound ability to use her first power without incantation. She then ran a ways into the corridor, and began to scan for the traps she was sure were there. Meanwhile, the two demons fell to the floor in convulsions. 'By Keeva's Eye, what is this? It's so damn cold!' Fidj telepathically asked Jofril, for both were convulsing too uncontrollably to talk. 'Who cares? Just get us back to the ship!' Fidj closed his eyes and tried to concentrate as best as possible. Then, a black shadow appeared below them and they were absorbed into it. They both let out a shuddering moan as their bodies stopped convulsing. "Should I get the thermowear?" Fidj asked Jofril. "No! We'll just go out like we are!" She replied sarcastically. She then hit him with the back of her fist, and said, "Of course, you idiot!" Mercury had finished her scans, and figured out a plan. There were a large number of traps, but she only would require two. One if she was lucky. Her computer told her where the traps were, and what activated them. Except for the last trap. There was a device at the end of the corridor, but she couldn't scan it, and the computer didn't tell her what it was. 'Oh, well,' she thought, 'I doubt they'll get that far.' She then made her way deeper into the corridor, avoided the traps, and waited. Then, with a thought, her scans shifted from visual to ultraviolet. 'I could get used to this,' she thought as she saw two sources of UV radiation heading towards her. When they entered the corridor, she switched back to visual, and saw them in silvery colored suits, as she guessed they might have been. She calmly walked backwards, careful of where she stepped, but not being conspicuous about it. Jofril followed her. "Alright, little girl. Let's see you try that ag-" Jofril started to say, but was interrupted when a blade of ice nearly beheaded them. But Jofril wasn't able to move her wings down fast enough, and they were cut in half. She screamed so loud that Mercury had to cover her ears. "Jofril!" Fidj shouted. Then she turned to Mercury, and said, "You'll pay for that, you little bitch!" She ran towards her with her fist energized. Mercury ran away a few steps, then vanished right before his eyes. He stopped and looked to see what happened, waiting for almost anything. He took a few steps forward, taking in every detail of the corridor. He then saw that a section of the ceiling was not totally solid, and correctly guessed there was a hologram there. 'That's where she went. Little idiot. I'm not that easy to fool.' He walked towards the hologram, and screamed as the ground beneath him gave way. What he didn't see was that the floor beneath it was also a hologram. He was barely able to grab onto the edge. He pulled his head above the image to see Mercury jump down from the ceiling and land a few feet from him. She looked at him with a small smile on her face. He then roared as he pulled himself out of the hole right in front of Mercury's face. She gasped and started to run away, but he grabbed her wrists, and pulled her in. She struggled, but he was many times stronger than her. "Heh," he said, "You like tricking people, don't you? Well here is a little trick for you." Fidj's fists started to glow as their temperature rose to soon unbearable levels. Mercury screamed as her wrists began to get burned beyond her imagination. Like instinct, she kicked Fidj between his legs, and he let go of her as he reeled back, leaning against the wall. Mercury ran away again, but didn't get far as she tripped over a piece of stone sticking out. Fidj recovered quickly, and ran after her. He was almost upon her, when a grid of lasers formed in front of and behind him, trapping him. Then they started to close in on him. Mercury stood up, and, rubbing her wrists, said: "Looks like I won't be paying anything after all." "Really?" Fidj began to concentrate, and he soon vanished into his own shadow. Mercury gasped, and turned to run deeper into the corridor. Fidj had miscalculated where she might be, and reappeared behind her. But he soon began the hunt. Like the previous times, Mercury stopped for some "reason" after she passed a booby trap, and Fidj was nearly caught by them, but either his quick reflexes or his special power saved him. This happened several times, and soon there were only two left, one of which, she had no idea what it consisted of. She was about to pass another trap, but Fidj managed to jump over her, grabbed her by the collar when he landed, and threw her onto the trap. She landed on a brick that disappeared down into the floor, and four thin wires leapt out of the walls of the corridor and grabbed her by the ankles and her wrists. Then they became taut and held her up, slowly pulling her apart. She only growled when it began, but screamed loudly as blood started to trickle down her legs and down the sides of her body. "Oh," Fidj said, "what a beautiful sound! I should record this." Fidj did nothing except look at her, moaning everytime she screamed. She then lost consciousness. The strings stopped pulling, and merely held her. "Aw. They stopped. Oh, well. At least now, I'll be able to get a part of that luscious little body." He moved forward and stopped in front of her, moving his hand to her face. Suddenly, Mercury opened her eyes, scaring Fidj. She then pulled on the strings, and snapped them. Then there was some whirring from the sides of the walls, and huge spikes came from the floor and ceiling where Fidj stood, and crushed him with a splatter of gray blood. After a few seconds, the spikes disappeared back into corridor, dropping Fidj's body. The floor under him opened up, and cleaned up the corpse. Mercury leaned back, and panted heavily, glad it was over. But she realized it wasn't, when her visor alerted her to a body coming towards her. She turned to see Jofril, what was left of her, shambling towards her, followed by a trail of her gray blood. She was holding her left shoulder with her right hand, and she was angrier than a wasp. She was also surrounded by a red aura. "You really should see a doctor about that," Mercury said. Jofril grew madder with her remark, and created a fireball in her hand. With a grunt, she launched it at Mercury. But it was so weak, she easily dodged it by moving her head to one side. It hit the wall behind her, and opened a hole in it. Behind it was a huge ball of energy, glowing brighter than the sun. Mercury did not trust whatever it was she saw, but Jofril was drooling at it. She saw it as a way to get back at Sailor Mercury. She ran past Mercury, pushing her against the side of the wall. She then threw herself at the energy, absorbing all she could. She then turned to Mercury with an evil smile, and said: "We'll see who needs the doctor now." "Maybe," she replied, "but in case you didn't notice, that energy's as unstable as your personality. MERCURY AQUA MIRAGE!" Mercury's power came as a total surprise to Jofril, and, to Mercury's surprise, faster than before she got her Harp. Knowing what would happen next, Mercury began to run back into the main cave, avoiding the traps. When she was out of the corridor, she made some quick mental calculations, and realized the explosion would destroy the entire cave. She ran to a ten-foot statue and jumped on top of it. From there, she jumped to the edge of where the spaceship smashed through. She then ran as fast as she could towards a nearby crater, jumped in, and crouched down as the energies finally exploded. The explosion shot out of the cave like a volcano, sending debris everywhere. Then the area around the opening sunk down into the ground, and a constant pillar of smoke began to come out. Mercury finally gets up and looks at the debris. And as she watches the burning ruins that used to be the stronghold for most of her people's greatest artistic accomplishments, only one thought crosses her mind: 'I won.' She was then surrounded by glimmering energy . . . INTERLUDE "I think something is going to happen." "You're awake!" A tall woman with long red hair ending in a white tip runs to another woman with short, black hair and white streaks. They are in a room with walls that change color like the sides of soap bubbles, and no way outside except through a hatch in the ceiling. The redhead kneels down next to the other. She is wearing red boots like those of Mercury, a red version of Sailor Aluminum Siren's Sailor Suit, except with red weightlifter's gloves, and two gold bands around her left upper arm. She also has a red choker with a silvery stripe running along the middle, and a thin, golden tiara with an eight-pointed star over the forehead. The other was wearing a light blue version of the Starlights' Sailor Suits, only every star was eight-pointed, and she had on hiking boots. She was also wearing a thin gold coil around each of her wrists, a light blue choker with a silvery stripe running along the middle, and a tiara just like the one the redhead had. She sat up, and said: "Something is going to happen real soon. Something to Dragonfly. But I can't tell wether it is good or bad. We should prepare." "If you say so. But for right now, I'm just glad you're awake." Then they hugged each other. E INTERLUDE D Super Sailor Mars pointed her bow and arrow towards the three demons who finally entered the cave. When they saw her, all they did was laugh. Mars developed a huge sweatdrop over her head. "And what, may I ask," Mars said, "is so funny?" "Ha! Are you kidding?" Captain Wytrel said, "How can we NOT laugh! I mean, look at this! A little girl protecting whatever this place is! With an antiquated weapon, no less! I haven't had a laugh like this since we faced an army of farmers!" Mars face was now very red, and scrunched with anger. "Aww, look," Jufgry said, "we made her angry." That comment got them laughing again. But now Mars had calmed down, and she looked at them with an expressionless face. She then said: "I am Super Sailor Mars, and I stand for fire and passion. And in the place of Mars, I will punish you. Her arrow was still pointed at their general direction, but now she took aim. She let the arrow fly, and it hit Hrift in the right shoulder, completely blowing through it, splattering his blood a long distance behind him. His scream echoed trough the cave as his right arm fell off in a pool of blood, and he fell to his knees, his left hand over the open wound. "You little demon!" Wytrel shouted as she and Jufgry charged her. Mars turned around and jumped as high and far as she could. The other two followed right behind her, but Mars flipped her feet forward, planted them against a stalactite, and rebounded back at the two demons. She held her bow in front of her horizontally, and smashed it against their faces. They both landed in the river of lava with a splash, and Mars landed a few meters in front of Hrift. "My, hmph. That was easy." She then turned to Hrift, and said, "Oh! And what should we do with you?" But she was turned around when she heard a scuffle behind her. Wytrel and Jufgry were getting out of the lava, totally untouched. Mars went pale. "Now you've done it," Wytrel said. "Yeah," Jufgry said, "Do you know how hard it is to dry clean these uniforms?" That comment earned him a smack in the head from Wytrel. Mars began to walk backwards, and Hrift grabbed her ankle. Then Wytrel ran up and planted her knee in Mars' stomach hard. She fell to her knees, clutching her stomach and coughing. Jufgry then smashed her elbow just under her neck, knocking her out. They both noticed that Hrift's shoulder finally stopped bleeding, and a huge scab had formed. "How long until my arm grows back, Jufgry?" "An injury like that?" she replied, "I'd say one and a half gobjs. I wouldn't lose any hair over it." Hrift then shot her a bad look. "That's funny," Wytrel said, "but I'll have to laugh later. Right now, though, we should get our little prize back to the ship. She could wake up any moment, and then we'd have to kill her. Beauties like this are more fun alive." "I got her," Jugfry said as she looked at Hrift, "some people can't quite pull the same load as others." Hrift then left the cave in a huff, with with Wytrel and Jufgry behind. When they got out of the cave and began to head towards their ship, they didn't notice a pile of rocks begin to vibrate. When they reentered their ship, they dropped Mars in a room like where Khidf put Amiri and the other three. "Computer," Wytrel said, "I do not want to be disturbed." *Affirmative.* "Ah," Jufgry said, "where to start, where to start?" "Waking her would be nice," Hrift said, "Now that she's here, there's no way she could be trouble. Anyways, they're more fun awake." "Wait," Wytrel said, "Before we do, where is her weapon?" "I don't know," Hrift said as he pointed to Jufgry, "I thought she got it when she picked her up." "No," she replied, "I didn't even see it." "Well SHE doesn't have it," Wytrel said, "Forget I brought it up. Now, as you said, where to start, where to start?" she then walked to a wall where there was a little flashing light in it. she touched it, and a little closet opened up. she reached inside and took out some tape. She was then about to say something, when Hrift interrupted her: "Hey, did you guys hear something?" "No." "Nope." "Hmm. Must've been my imagination." "Now, as I was about to say, we should start with her mouth and hands. No need for screaming or arms flailing about." she then taped Mars' mouth shut and her wrists together behind her back. When she finished, she woke her up by shaking her. When Mars woke up, she was staring right into Wytrel's mask. She then started to struggle in Wytrel's arms. She was also trying to scream. "Now, now," Wytrel said, "calm down or you'll hurt yourself." "Yeah," Jufgry said, "leave that to us." "If you don't struggle," Wytrel said as she took of the bottom half of her mask, "you might find that you like this too." As she said that she ran her hand up Mars' leg. Then she bent down and licked Mars' left cheek. But she stopped when the they all heard the sound of metal being wrenched apart. "Please tell me you guys heard that one," Hrift said. "Nooo," Jugfry said sarcastically, "It's just you." Wytrel let go of Mars and stood up. Then they all looked at the door as something started to bang on it. After a few minutes of this, it stopped. The three demons then looked at each other. "Maybe it left," Hrift said. "Yeah," Jugfry said as she pointed to Mars, "and maybe she's willing." "Jufgry, shut up. Hrift, open that door." Hrift nodded and headed for the door. He slowly put his hand on the door's control panel to open it, but instantly pulled it back with a scream. "Damn it! I've never felt anything so hot in my life!" Then the door started to turn red, and, after a few moments, the door fell down as liquid metal. And standing there was the lava monster. "What is that?!" Jugfry shouted. "Who gives a rat's ass?!" Wytrel shouted, "Just kill it!" With that, both Hrift and Jugfry threw balls of energy at it, but it just absorbed it. It then lunged forward and grabbed Hrift's neck. He screamed as its hand began to burn his neck. But he soon stopped as the monster smashed his body into its chest, and then absorbed him into his body. Wytrel started to walk backwards, turned to one of the walls, blew a huge hole in it with a ball of energy, and ran through it. "Hey!" Jugfry shouted, "Wait for me!" And ran after her. Mars was left with the lava monster. Then she heard a voice in her head: 'Don't worry, I'm not after you this time. My name is Modo. I used to be the Captain of the Martian Guards before I volunteered to guard your weapon and to test you when you came to acquire it. Here let me help you with that.' 'No thanks,' she thought to him, 'I got it.' With that, she began to concentrate, and the tape around her were burned off. She then stood up and headed towards the hole in the wall. "C'mon. Let's burn these frea-" Mars said as she turned to face Modo. But he was gone. All that was left were Hrift's charred bones. 'I'm sorry, but our battle took a lot of energy out of me. If I don't become the wall again, I'll cease to exist. Good luck.' 'Thank you.' And with that, she entered the other room. She was met by two beams of energy that she barely dodged. She ran behind a huge machine in the center of the room. "Get away from us, demon!" Wytrel shouted. Jugfry was saying "this is not happening" to herself over and over. Mars took a little peek at the two demons. They were staring at the wall from behind a large control panel. 'It's as if they were waiting for something,' Mars thought. Then she realized her opportunity. She quietly walked around the machine to the other side. She took another peek and saw she was to the left of the two demons. 'Like fish in a barrel,' she thought as she materialized her Firestorm Bow and an arrow. She placed it in her Bow, and aimed. "MARS FLAME SNIPER!" she shouted as she let her power fly. "Whu-" "Huh?" That was all the demons could say as they saw the flaming arrow coming towards them. Wytrel jumped out of the way as the arrow hit Jugfry. She screamed as she was engulfed in a column of fire, and then completely burned away, leaving only a few specks of ashes. Wytrel was left staring at Mars. Her mask had fallen off, and Mars saw the pale look on her face. "If," Mars said, "you leave and promise to never return, then so will I. But choose quickly, because I'm as patient as wildfire." Wytrel began to walk backwards, and turned around into the other room. When she saw that the lava monster was gone, she calmed down, and began to smile. She turned back to Mars with a huge grin, and said: "You don't scare me anymore, little girl." "Really? Oh, what a shame. Now I might have to get my hands dirty." "When I'm done, they'll be the only parts of you that will be left!" Then she grabbed two of the feathers in her wings, and pulled them out. In a flash of light, they became two feather shaped swords. She put the handles together, and they became a huge double-bladed sword. "Whoa!" Mars said, "I'm vaguely impressed." Then Wytrel charged. Mars let the string on her Bow disappear, and the Bow became a staff. Wytrel swung her double-sword at Mars' left shoulder and Mars managed to block it. Then Wytrel swung the bottom of the sword in the opposite direction of her first swing, but Mars blocked it, too. She then pushed Wytrel away as hard as she could, then charged forward with her own attack. She aimed for Wytrel's head and swung her staff horizontally. But Wytrel ducked and swung her sword in the same way at Mars' legs. But she saw that coming and jumped over it. She then swung her staff down and connected with Wytrel's head. She rolled with the blow and stood up a meter from where she was. When Mars landed, she charged again. But Wytrel interjected in the charge by reaching out and grabbing Mars by the collar. She then swung her over her shoulder and threw her into the other room. Mars landed hard on her shoulders, but quickly somersaulted back on her feet. Wytrel ran towards her, swung her sword, and managed to give Mars a gash just below her left collarbone. Mars let out a yelp, but was not taken by surprise as she blocked another attack by Wytrel. Then Wytrel did a ground sweep and almost knocked Mars to the ground. But she landed on her left hand, and painfully somersaulted again. But this time, she planted her feet on the wall behind her and pushed off at Wytrel. She did not see that one coming, and took a blow to the head by Mars' staff. The force of the blow knocked her back into the other room, and she dropped her sword in the first room. Mars ran in, changed her staff back into the Bow. "MARS . . ." She held her Bow in front of her face and it became fire. ". . .PYRO . . ." She held the Bow high as she spun around in a full circle, leaving a trail of fire with her left hand that became a ring of fire surrounding her waist. She put her left hand on top of her right and held the Bow, then brought it down with another trail of fire. " . . . . .ARRAY!" She brought her Bow down and aimed it forward. Then she shot the flaming arrow at Wytrel, with the arrow being orbited by the ring of fire like the rings on the Outer Scouts' powers. Wytrel looked up only in time to see it coming towards her. The arrow pierced her chest and the force of the impact sent her towards the big machine where slammed into it. The ring now began to orbit Wytrel. It spun faster and faster until she was surrounded by a bright red sphere of fire energy. Mars noticed that her power was making the machine very unstable. She turned to one of the walls and shot an arrow towards it. It blew open a hole to the outside, and she ran out. She ran a few meters until she came to a cliff. She bounded up its side to the top, turned around, and looked at the ship which exploded in moments. All that remained of the ship were a few burning scraps of metal and glass. Fire. The purest thing in her eyes. Walking away from the cliff overlooking the debris, Mars suddenly came to a realization: 'I am a warrior, born and raised. It is who I am, and who I will be, always. Sailor Mars.' She was then surrounded by glimmering energy . . .
