After a small uncomfortable silence, the gang all began to loosen up and have fun, munching on cheesecake, sipping sweet tea, and just generally having a good time. But as all good things must do, this time came to an end in the form of a huge explosion, and the screaming of the crowd. Getting to their feet, the gang all looked to see a hideous sight.
The creature looked to be a cross between a snake and a porcupine. Its long snake's body rippled and shook as it moved, causing the long deadly looking spine ripple and stick out.
With a long drawn out hiss, the creature, suddenly coiled around itself and with a shudder of its body, shot out the spines straight at the humans, instantly impaling them, draining the victims of their energy. With a snarl of Rage, Tal'lan instantly transformed into the Great Lunarian Panther, barking out "Pagan! Transform Now!"
"You got it, Tal... Serena you and the scouts get out of here. This is something you won't be able to handle."
"No way Pagan... This is a threat for everyone... Scouts power up! Moon Eternal Power..Make Up!"
"Mars Crystal Power...Make Up!"
"Mercury Crystal Power.... Make Up!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power...Make Up!"
"Venus Crystal Power...Make Up!"
Once the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask were finished with their transformations, they all gasped, as Pagan Crossed her arms over her chest, and closes her eyes, suddenly becoming engulfed within a surge of black and silver flame. Once the flame died down, the Scouts see Pagan dressed within a short tight Black and silver armor, flat heeled boots on her feet. In her left hand, she held a long twin bladed sword, the Silver Crescent Moon birthmark gracing her brow.
Not sparring the Scouts a glance, Pagan swiftly ran towards the creature. "Tal, you look after the humans... I'll handle the worm."
Bunching up her legs, Pagan lept high into the air, raising her sword above her head with the blade pointing downward facing the creature. She suddenly called out, "SHADOW FLAME.... ERUPT!"
Instantly the blades of her sword glowed brightly as she swung the sword downward. The blades explode in a burst of black fire, heading straight for the spiny quills which held the humans captive, easily severing them.
Charring the membranes holding the quills intact, caused the monster to scream in pain. "Who DARESSSS TO Dissssrupt Sssilessstia'sss feeding!!!" The Snake creature demanded, glaring at Pagan.
"One who does not stand for demons attacking the Innocent! I am Shadow Siren! Prepare for your destruction demon Silestia," Pagan answered, landing gracefully upon a lamp post. She began to twirl the sword about in her hand, preparing for another blast.
"No, It ssshall be YOU Sssiren who, will be dessstroyed!"
Silestia curled her body and forced out many sharp spines, propelling them towards the Shadow Siren. Leaping off the post, Pagan managed to dodge one of the spikes, but knows she won't be able to dodge all of them, and braces herself for the pain.
"MOONLIGHT THERAPY KISS!!"
"MARS FLARE..SNIPER!!"
"JUPITER OAK..EVOLUTION!!"
"VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!!"
Pagan watched as the spikes were destroyed in a flurry of crescent moons, fire, lightning, and stars. Landing on her feet to the ground, Pagan looked to her left and nodded slowly at the female warriors. "My thanks Sailor Soldiers.."
"Mercury, let's see if we can put this Worm on Ice!" Sailor moon orders.
"My Pleasure,...MERCURY ICE BUBBLES...FREEZE!!"
Seeing the suddenly exploding of ice bubbles, Silestia suddenly lunges forward at the last minute, causing only the lower half of her body to become frozen. "How DARE You!...You Ssshall Pay For That!" Silestia yelled out, suddenly opening her mouth, emitting two long curved fangs to glisten in the light.
Taking a deep breath, Silestia shot her head forward, ejecting a spray of Venom heading straight for the Scouts and Pagan. Seeing the deadly spray coming fast, the scouts instantly jumped to higher ground for safety, but Pagan, stayed on the ground staring into Silestia's mouth curiously.
"Siren!!!!.....Look OUT!" Sailormoon Cries out, seeing how her cousin is just standing there.
Just when it seemed the venomous spray would hit Shadow Siren, she was suddenly hit in the side, knocking her a few feet to the side, the venom narrowly missing her. Before hitting the ground, Shadow Siren instantly twisted her body so that she fell on her back, and felt herself being pinned to the ground by the object that had just saved her life.
Looking up, Siren suddenly found herself gazing into Deep Hazel eyes. "Chir...um...Chad? are you alright?" Siren asked.
"Really sis.... You and I have to stop meeting like this... Usually it was me who was too stubborn to dodge a hit," Chad said, chuckling softly.
"Y-Y-Yuuchiru! You Remember!" Siren asked, surprised at hearing his words.
"Yeah...when I saw you transform, I started to feel strange.... But it wasn't until I saw the Shadow flame attack, that I remembered who and what I was."
Swiftly getting to his feet, Chiru held out one hand and pulled Siren up, before gazing at Tal'lan. "Tal'lan I've had about enough of watching this worm... I summon the Power of my Birthright!"
"It is as you command, you're Grace," Tal'lan said, grinning proudly as his Silver Crescent began to glow.
As the light of the panther's birthmark fell upon Yuuchiru's left hand, the mark of Mars suddenly blazed red upon the back of his hand. Clenching his left hand into a fist, the Mars Symbol glowed brighter and in a blast of Red Fire. The young man, once known as Chad, was instantly transformed into the Knight of Mars, Yuuchiru, leader of the Shadowmoon Knights once again.
Drawing his sword with his left, Yuuchiru looked down at himself and smiled at the Red battle armor. Looking to his left hand, he saw the symbol of mars still blazing but stead upon the full battle gauntlet that had encased his hand.
"Come on little Sister... We were knocked out of the vision of the scouts, and knowing Sailormoon, she will be frantic with worry about you."
With a Sudden leap, all three instantly landed upon a roof to find that the scouts, though holding their own, had not been able to gain the advantage. "Let's fry this worm, Chiru!"
Leaping off the rooftop, the Shadow Siren, and the Knight of Mars, slashed downward with their swords while screaming out, "SHADOW FLAME...ERUPT!!"
"MARS FIRE DRAGON..RAGE!!"
Suddenly twin beams of fire, one black, one red hit the snake demon Silestia, totally engulfing her to a painful fiery death. With a graceful flip, Shadow Siren, and the the Knight of Mars land in front of the scouts and Tuxedo Mask, a short distant from the charred and burning remains of the monster.
"Pagan!!!...." Sailormoon yelled out, instantly running into the open waiting arms of her cousin.
