| Celes was looking at blankly at what Gaia had just said to them when she felt the air twist slightly. She turned quickly and looked up to see an electrical beam coming towards them and hit the ground directly in front of all three of them. "Ahhhh!!!" Celes screamed as the power of the beam sent her flying into Gaia. Celes's father saw what was happening and started to run towards them. "Whoa!!" Iviana yelled, whirling around to see who sent the beam. "Ooohhhhh crap." She whispered, putting Kia down. "Kia, listen. Go inside that inn right there. Stay put until I come to get you, ok?" Ivi said, and Kia ran off. She took a deep breath, and looked at Phulan, shrugging. "Here goes nothin. Aria Terren Power, Make Up!" She called, thrusting her hand into the air as vines covered her. The vines melted off and Sailor Terren stood in Ivi's place. "Ok.. let's try something new here." She said, a double-bladed staff materializing in her hands. "Poison Ecstasy!" Terren yelled, the tips of the staff starting to drip with poison. She looked then to Akana and Pansha, smiling. "Who's first?" Terren asked. Phulan sighed and shruged "Guess it's show time..." She looked up at the sky and said "Aria Mystos Power...Make, Up!" Suddenly black and silver spidery threads cover her body and then desolve in a glittering shower of silver blue. She stands ready for an attack but kept silent. There were only two of the enemy, she didn't think they'd be too hard to defeat. Ruman instinctivly went to try and shield both Gaia and Celes. He then looked up at the two strange women and growled "Who are you anyway, and I'm not part of any group, but I won't let you hurt these people!" Pansha looked at Ruman and laughed "Oh how noble of you! But you're a fool if you think to fight us." She then turned her eyes towards Terren, "Tsk, Tsk, I've never met someone so eager for their own death, but since you asked, I guess I'll go first weakling...Dark!" She yelled and brought her palm up above her head. "Plasma!" Is yelled and with that, Pansha brings her hand across her body in a swiping motion, sending out a black-purplish, energy, wave towards Terren. Celes's father ran up to his daughter and the two strangers with her. He helped Celes up from the ground and looked to see if the female stranger behind her was ok. He then turned and looked up at Akana and Pansha. "You beasts! Why go and attack innocent people for? They have done nothing wrong to you!" He shouted out of anger. Celes looked revengefully at the two enemies then turned to the elf. "I'm sorry if i hurt you, but what the hell is going on!?" Terren cringed, hearing Celes' father yelling at Akana and Pansha. "Hey, do the right thing and don't antagonize them!" She yelled, motioning for them to get out of the way. She turned her gaze momentarily away from Pansha, and turned back just in time to see the huge wave sliding towards her. "Whoa!" Terren stepped backwards, the attack barely missing her, but knocking Terren onto her back. She painfully stood up, wincing and glaring at Pansha. "Ok... fine. Earthian Eruption!" Terren held her hands out over the earth, large pieces of the ground raising to her hands. She winked at Pansha, then sent the earth pieces flying towards the girl. Celes saw the weirdly dressed female yelling from the crowd and got the hint. She grabbed everyone with her and pulled them out of the way. Juline pulled Lantis and Yasmine inside the inn, following Kia, as both blinked in surprise at her. Juline looked to the two senshi, yelling loudly, "Be careful you two!" Gaia glanced over her shoulder to Pansha and Akana, her temper boiling at the two attacking all of them unexpectedly, "How cute of them of them.." Turning to Celes, her father, and Ruman, she smiled softly, "You saw those girls transform, correct? Well, to be blunt, you three can do the same." Lantis glanced out a window to the fight, as Yasmine looked to Juline, "What's going on?" "I came here to find senshi and knights to help defeat Kiley and his followers.. they appranetly have heard about my quest," Lantis looked to Juline, turning from the window. "And what does this have to do with us?" "You are a knight, as Yasmine is a senshi." Akana watched the attacks, moving down from her spot to the ground, into a more open area. Standing there, a smirk came upon her lips, "Trick of the Eye.." Akana then disappeared from sight, going invisible. In this state, she moved closer to Sailor Mystos, touching the gem on her forehead invisibly. "Illusion's.." She whispered, her dragon form appeared for a brief second before all, as she yelled, "Beam!" The gem charged up, then fired the electrical beam at the senshi. "Okaay..." Celes said sceptically. "Are you sure your not mistaken?" Celes's father asked. Celes saw one of the attackers disappear and reappear near Sailor Mystos. She was about to shout, but the attack had already begun. "Damn. How do we do this transformation and beat the hell out of these pests!?" Phulan turned her head to slowly as she heard "Beam." She winced as the beam hit her full in the shoulder, sending her skidding to the ground. Getting up she glared at Akana and said "So...you want to play rough huh?" She then crossed her arms and said "Illusion...." Then she flung out her arms as she yelled "Web!" Thin silver threads suddenly fly out from her hands towards Akana in hopes of giving her a taste of her own painful medicine. Ruman raised an eyebrow as he look towards Gaia "Look as much I'll believe this...I don't think I'd look in one of those uniforms, though they look very nice on those beautiful young ladies..." Pansha saw Terren's attack and quickly leaps up and out of the way of the attack. She then laughs "Is that the best you can do?" She then sends another volley of her dark energy wave towards Sailor Terren. Celes quietly laughted at Ruman's comment while her father looked unamused. Terren's jaw dropped, seeing how Pansha dodged her attack rather easily. "How in the hell...?" she started, then was shot backwards as a wave of dark energy slammed into her, knocking Terren back a few couple of feet. She lied there, her right leg a ball of pain, and sat up, noticing her staff was missing. Wincing painfully, she managed to her to her knees, pain and anger flaring up in her. "Hole Dredger!" Terren yelled, the earth under Pansha turning to quicksand . "You mean, like those girls in the skirts?" Yasmine asked, blinking. "Exactly," Juline replied, "Both of you can transform with a phrase into a senshi or knight, then use powers to help defeat Kiley and those who follw his path." "Well... that's.. different," Lantis said, looking to Yasmine who looked deep in thought. "You know thse phrases?" Yasmine asked. "Only the senshi's," Juline replied, "But Gaia would be the one to have to tell you it. The red elven woman outside seems to know them, and I don't know why or how." Gaia chuckled lightly, "That's why you're a knight," turning to Celes, she smiled, "Young one, you only need to say 'Aria Airyu Power, Make-up' and your powers will make themselves be known." The elf then turned to Celes's father, "As for you, sir, your little phrase would be 'Aria Noven Power, Transform', and perhaps that'll bash the doubt. And lastly..." Gaia looked to Ruman. "You just need to say 'Aria Windom Power, Transform'. And I promise, no skirt." Akana moved to dodge the attack flung at her, as the web caught her leg, cutting into her skin. Turning visible and staying so, she growled at Sailor Mystos, her eyes narrowing on the senshi, "Cute attack.. but nothing compared to mine. Deception's Game!" She yelled, bringing a hand up and flinging a blast of energy at Mystos, planning to turn her on her allies. "Fine, lets see if this thing really works." Celes smiled. "Aria Airyu Power, Make-up!" Celes called out and wind started rushing around her making her long black hair flap around her and lifting her from the ground. Clouds form around her and hides her from view and a pale red light appears from within the clouds. A second later the clouds disappear leaving Sailor Airyu standing emotionless. "Lets get down to business." |
