I wrote this story 5 years ago (GASP!) when all I had was the DiC dub. That's
why I use some English and Japanese names. I ain't going back to change 'em! :p
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.
Sailor Moon is owned by some Japanese people who are not me. Even if did try to
sue me, I wouldn't be able to read the subpoena ;p

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.

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 . . .

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 . . .

"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.

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 . . .
