The Rescue Chapter 4 ************************************************************************* Sailor Sirius could only stare for a moment at the three new figures in black leather who came to their rescue, still trying to sort out the thoughts in her head. Then, as soon as Sailor Star Lights introduced themselves, the mayhem started. The large steel demon turned to the new arrivals, his eyes full of challenge and evil. "I don't give a rip who you are!" he shouted as he stepped foreword. "I am going to destroy you along with your little friends!" Before anyone could react, the demon then opened his mouth, and a stream of fire exploded out of it straight for the Sailor Star Lights. They easily jumped into the misty air, the fire missing them entirely. The Star Warriors then landed right in a squat front of the Sailor Senshi, who could only stare at wonder at their agility and quickness. "You are going to have to do better than that if you want to get rid of us!" taunted Sailor Star Fighter, a gleam of mischief in her eye. "STAR SERIOUS LASER!" A ring of stars appeared from the brooch she held in her hands, then twirled around her. Bringing them together in front of her, a beam of white laser energy shot heavily out, and head straight for her opponent. The beam hit the steel demon full force, and he went down in a surprised grunt, his metal skin clashing heavily on the floor. All the rest of the demons looked at their fallen leader in surprise. It didn't seem possible that their mighty leader could be beat. At the moment of distraction, Sailor Star Healer quickly tunred to Eternal Sailor Moon. "Now's your chance Sailor Moon! Raise your Eternal Tier in the air. The only way to heal all of them is to combine your powers with ours!" Sailor Moon looked blankly at her for a moment, blinked her eyes, then nodded. "Oh! Right, if you say so!" She raised her the Moon Tier high in the air above her, and as she did so, the Sailor Star Lights turned to the Sailor Moon and also aised their arms high. They all shouted their powers: "STAR SERIOUS LASER!" "STAR GENTLE UTERUS!" "STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO!" Sailor Star Fighter looked expectantly at Sailor Moon. "Say it now! What are you waiting for, and invitation?" "O.K!" Sailor Moon said, a little confused, but agreeing to go along with the plan, if it could help them out. "STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS!" The Eternal Tier started to glow a new electric blue color, and the Moon Senshi suddenly started to glow with the same color. The Sailor Star Lights also began to a glow blue aura, and the powers that they called upon shot forth above them, then into the Tier and began to merged and forge itself with the power of Sailor Moon's weapon. The demons, just as they were about to attack, finally noticed what was going on, and Sailor Thorn screeched furiously and jumped high into the air to grab Sailor Moon. At that moment, Sailor Venus looked up in time to see what he was doing. "Oh no you don't! VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!" The Senshi of Love shot out a heavy dose of laser energy shaped like twirling heart. They then came together to form a giant heart and headed straight for him. The power hit him in mid-air, then he screaming in agony and dropped like dead in front of the other demons. This really infuriated them even more, and they screamed louder. "Whatever you're going to do, you better do it fast!" Sailor Venus said to Sailor Moon and the Star Lights. While that was going on, the glow around the Eternal Tier finally grew to its full power, then it suddenly burst. Mass beams of blue energy was shooting out of it everywhere, and after a moment, they fell on the advancing demons. When the healing beams struck them, they all let out a peaceful moan, as if the pain they were in was released somehow. They began falling one after another to the ground. As soon as they hit the floor, the demons began to slowly shrink and turn back to their human form. Suddenly, each way the Senshi and Star Lights looked, they were now young human children, groaning in deep as if they were in pain. "Hey! They're turning back!" said Sailor Sirius, then running up to a young girl who was Sailor Clay Face, and helping her sit up. "What in the world would that Sailor Galaxia want with these innocent kids?" she asked no on in particular, anger in her voice. The little girl only looked at her in confusion, then began to cry. Sailor Sirius took the child in her arms, and softly assured her that everything was going to be alright. "Because Sailor Galaxia needs to find the humans with the purest hearts in order to find the Star Seed she is after. She's been collecting them for many years now, from every planet she's come across." said Star Figher, helping a small girl stand up. She then turned to the other Senshi, a serious look on her face. "If she finds the Sacred Star seed, then the whole universe is lost." Sadness showed in Star Fighter's eyes. She's has seen so much of Galaxia's devestaion already, and it pained her to see more. "I see," said Sailor Neptune, then going over to Sailor Uranus, Sailor Mars, and Saturn, who were still unconscious. "The only humans she thinks would be the purest, is the human children." As she knelt down to check on Uranus, her gloved hand balled into a fist, her face determined. "We must find a way to stop her, before she destroys everything!" "OOOHHHH!" groaned Sailor Uranus, regaining conciousness at Neptune's voice. "I have a VERY big head-ache!" Sailor Saturn and Mars also woke up groaning, their eyes fluttering open. She sat up and started looking around. When she saw the Sailor Star Lights, she groaned even louder, "And I think it just got bigger!" she sneered. "Well, it's nice to see you too. I guess saving your but doesn't count for much?" sneered back Sailor Star Fighter. "Alright, alright! We have to get back to the issue here, remember? and I 've got a few questions!" said Sailor Sirius, putting her hands up to keep Sailor Uranus from responding. She turned to the Star Lights. "Just who are you? How did you get here? And how did you know we were in trouble?" Sailor Moon, who was quiet for once the whole time and thinking about what happened, finally spoke up, "And how did you know to combine your powers with mine? Do I know you somehow?" She gave each of the star warriors a hard, questioning look. "I am sorry, Sailor Moon" said Sailor Star Fighter, walking over to the Senshi leader and taking her hands in her own. "I cannot answer your questions at this time, just please know for now that I am a friend, and I am here to help you find your brother Shingo. Right now, we have to act fast. There is no telling what Sailor Galaxia is doing with him!" "But what about the children?" said Sailor Mercury while trying to calm and comfort a crying little boy in her arms. "They will just have to stay here until we come back." said Sailor Jupiter, cracking her knuckles. She then looked at Sailor Mars, who was just sitting up. "Mars, do you think you can stay here with them? You need to regain your strength." "Sure." said Sailor Mars, rubbing her head, "Just at least save some of the action for me!" The Fire Senshi gave a thumbs up sign. "Come on!" shouted Sailor Venus, eager to go. Sailor Mercury took out her Mercury computer, and started to do calculations. "I'm receiving a large amount of energy to our right. I believe Sailor Galaxia and Iron Mouse are in that direction." she said, pointing right to the source of the energy. "Then that way we go!" shouted Sailor Jupiter. The Sailor Senshi and Star Lights began to run high speed towards Sailor Galaxia, eager to finally end her reign of terror and pain for so many. Suddenly, a large creature, made of pure lava jumped right in front of them, blocking they're way. Sailor Jupiter nearly ran right into him, but was held back when Mercury grabbed her arm. "Look out!" The Water Senshi yelled. The creature let out a roar and began shooting lava out his arms at the Senshi, narrowly missing them. "I'll take care of this hothead!" said Sailor Neptune bravely. "NEPTUNE SUBMARINE VOILIN TIDE!!" she shouted, and a gigantic wave of water, in tidal wave proportions, came crashing down on the creature, totally putting out his fire and heat. Eternal Sailor Moon then stepped up, and use the Eternal Tier to heal him. When he was a child again, she sent him with Sailor Mars and the other children. The senshi then continued running, Sailor Jupiter in the lead. "My God!!" thought Sailor Moon to herself, "Please let me get there in time!" To be continued.... *****************************************************************************
