| Episode 9 � The Meeting of the Sailors By: Duo Lita looked at the clock, wondering when Serena would show up. Everyone was there, except Serena, but she was usually late. Serena, was running through the streets, �Ahhh, I am late again, Darn alarm clock, I wonder why Luna never wakes me up!� As she ran, she ran into someone, and landed on her butt. She saw a hand in front of her, it was Maxx, and Linda right beside him. �Hey, we were looking for one of you, we wanted to know when the meeting was.� Said Maxx as he picked Serena off the ground. Serena, smiled then frowned, �The meeting is right now!� Maxx looked at her and said, �Then lets go.� Serena started to run, and Maxx and Linda followed closely. Back at the Dojo, Rei was storming around the room, getting mad Serena was so late, �Where is she, she should be here by now,� and she rolled her eyes. The door slammed open, and Serena walked in, �Hi guys, look who I picked up!� �Hey guys,� said Maxx to the group, �How is everyone tonight?� The group was surprised, but all of them eventually figured Maxx was Sailor Ultra. Rini laughed and said, �Hey Maxx, nice to meet you!� Maxx and Linda sat down, and Serena followed. Ami was the first to say anything, �Maxx, could you tell us about the Tiara stones, Serena didn�t know much.� �Sure,� said Maxx, with a smile, �The Tiara stones are the stones that are in each of your tiara�s, all of you have one, I have Linda�s and Lita�s. You can only get the Tiara stones from dead scouts, Lita and Linda both died, that is why I have their Tiara stones, but we need the other nine, from you guys, or we will never be able to kill Queen Beryl. That is all I know.� Queen Beryl watched as she found the secret, �So that is what they are up to, I will beat them to the punch, I will get the Tiara stones first, by killing the rest of them and taking their stones! Malachite, go and kill a scout and get their stone, I think your chances are on Mini-Moon�s, maybe you can get Moon�s as well, just be careful, and take a Youma with you!� Malachite bowed, �Yes, I will do so my Queen,� and with that, he disappeared. The meeting was over and everyone was leaving. Rei waved as everyone walked off. Rini, Lita, and Serena went off together, Ami and Mina went off together, and Trista, Michelle, Amara, and Hotaru went off togther, and Maxx and Linda went after Serena and Rini, needing to ask them something. Malachite watched, and followed Serena and Rini, knowing that those were his targets. He landed in front of them, and laughed. His Youma, a strange humanoid with blue hair, stood beside him, and fired out whips of water, trapping Rini, Serena, and Lita. Malachite laughed again, �Give me your Tiara stones!� �Malachite, get away from Rini,� yelled Serena. Malachite jammed his hand into Rini, killing her instantly. �NOOOOOOOO!,� screamed Serena. Rini�s Tiara stone fell out and landed on the ground. Malachite reached down to get it and grabbed it, �Now for yours Serena!� Lita struggled to get out, �Leave her alone you bastard!� Malachite ignored her, and walked to Serena. A black ball of energy hit Malachite in the face, knocking him back 10 feet. Sailor Phantom landed in front of Serena, guarding her. Malachite stood up, whipping himself off. Sailor Ultra landed before Malachite, melee fighting with him. Sailor Phantom, taking the chance, hit the stunned Youma, making her release the prisoners. Serena and Lita ran over to Rini, hiding her body from the fight. Malachite disappeared, and Sailor Ultra looked proud, showing Serena the Tiara stone of Rini. Serena smiled and screamed, �Ultra Moon Power!� Serena transformed into a stronger version of Sailor Moon, using the power of Ultra. �Moon Starseed Blaster,� screamed Serena as she fired the blast of Starseed energy at the Youma, blowing it to pieces. Everyone de-transformed and ran back to the Dojo to resurrect the fallen Rini. The other scouts were called and they surrounded Rini�s body, calling forth their great power to heal Rini. They powered went into Rini and she instantly sat up and said, �I want some cookies!� Everyone laughed that Rini was back to her old self. They began to dance in the Dojo, having a party that Rini was okay. Maxx stood back from the fun and looked out the window, wondering how much more pain would be caused by the Negaverse. He looked and Linda and smiled, knowing that he had feeling beyond friends for someone, but was it her? To Be Continued�. |
