Chapter 5: Hidden Power
*As Peter and Sailor Moon head to her home, Andy and Rei begin to talk*
Rei: Why didn't you come to the temple? Is it because...
Andy: My reasons are mine and mine alone. I need not share myself to you.
Rei: Hey. You don't have to be bitter. I wanted to know something from a long time ago.
Andy: What do you know about my past?
Rei: Nothing. I just remember that when I was little, a man and his son were being hunted by a big mob. They tried to hide at the temple but my grandpa ratted them out.
Andy: ........ Go on...
Rei: I didn't understand until I went to junior high. It was all about that Mutant Law that made them chase you, wasn't it?
Andy: ....... Yes. My father and I were treated like dogs back then. It seemed more of a miracle that we are alive today.
Rei: I knew it. You are that boy. I did try to help you...
Andy: It doesn't matter. What happened in the past is over. For now, I do not want anything to do with things that tie in with my past.
Rei: My grandpa was only looking out for my safety too. It was hard on me too.
Andy: Don't compare me to you! Your life was nothing compared to mine! I truly experienced hell! At least you still had a home to go back to!
Rei: ........ *A tear rolls down her cheek* ....At least I tried to help you...
???: More imperfections? You humans are so complex.
Andy: You again?! *Draws his sword* You struck me down back at the beach!
Dark Diva: Of course I did. I knew that blast wouldn't hurt you. Now put that little knife away before you hurt someone.
Andy: I'LL HURT YOU WITH IT!!!! *Lunges at Dark Diva* HYAAAAA!!!!
Dark Diva: DARK FIREWALL!!! *A wall of black fire forms as Andy bounces off of it*
Andy: AAAHHH!!!
Rei: Are You okay?
Andy: Leave me! I will do this alone... *gets up* You can't stop me with a wall, demon! I will break through!
Dark Diva: You're starting to annoy me now. Come here, Divaling!
*Divaling appears in the form of a Viking oprea singer*
Divaling: I'm HEEEEEREE!!!
Dark Diva: Take care of this loudmouth. *Leaves*
Andy: Don't you run from me!!! We're not through, yet!
Divaling: You haven't started with me. *Lets out a horrible screech*
Andy: AAAAAHHHH!!
Rei: AAAAHHH!!! ANDY!!!
Divaling: HA HA HA HA! You are worthless.
Rei: You're gonna get it now! *Pulls out her pen* MARS STAR POWER MAKE UP!!! *transforms into Sailor Mars*
Andy: NO! This is my fight!
Sailor Mars: Andy, you can't do this alone...
Andy: You underestimate me. I can defeat this deamon. *Turns to Divaling* Time to die monster!
Divaling: Just give up. *Lets out another horrible screech*
*Andy dodges the shockwave*
Andy: Take this! TENMA GOU ZANKU!!! *Fires a barrage of fireballs*
*Divaling swallows the fireballs*
Divaling: Tastey. Now eat this! *Howls out a giant fireball*
Andy: AAAAHHH!!!
Sailor Mars: NO!!! You're gonna pay for that! BURNING MANDOLA!!! *Fires a barrage of rings*
*Divaling swallows the rings*
Divaling: Yummy! Now it's your turn! *Howls another fireball*
Sailor Mars: AAAAAHHHH!!!!
Andy: Don't... Interfere... This is... My fight!
Sailor Mars: Please... You can't do it alone. I know I couldn't help you back then... But I want to help you now...
Andy: What... *Pauses for a moment* ........ *Gets up* Let's do this... Together...
Sailor Mars: Okay! Let's do this.
Divaling: You can't beat me. Take your best shot!
Sailor Mars: Okay! FIRE SOUL!!!
Andy: SHINKUU HADOKEN!!! *the two fire a blast of energy at the Divaling*
*Divaling tries to absorb the blast but pushes it back*
Divaling: NOOOO!!!!!
Sailor Mars: It's not enough. What now?
Andy: We give this creature all we have. Dig deep into your soul and find that force within you!
*Sailor Mars begins to form an aura with her soul that begins to fire up*
Sailor Mars: I can feel it.
Andy: Now let's finish this!
Andy & Mars: MARS DRAGON WAVE *Unleashes a dragon beam that engulfs the Divaling*
Divaling: I... Can't...die...*Destroyed*
*Andy drops to the ground*
Sailor Mars: Are you alright?
Andy: This... took more out of me that I thought.
Sailor Mars: I'm a little tired too. Why don't we head to my house?
Andy: No... My home is not far. Take me there...
Sailor Mars: *Smiles* Okay... *Helps Andy up and walks him home*
*Meanwhile, AL & Friends are helping Makoto with her groceries*
AL: This is nuts! I tell you, no matter where you go, People charge an arm AND a leg for food. Don't Farmers and factory workers grow enough for everybody?
Loyd: Y'all gotta look at the bigger picture, AL. It ain't the Farmers that charge these prices... It's that thar grocery owner.
AL: I get it. We all gotta make a living. It just sounds like a pain in the ass and a sick joke.
Makoto: You sure do like to argue.
Loyd: Ah'll say.
Boomer: That's nothing. One time... at this party... AL wanted to know the difference between a lemon and a lime.
AL: Who gives a damn what you put in a Corona! They both Sour and go good as ade.
Makoto: Ade?
Loyd: He means Lemonade and Limeade. AL, didn't we end it at Lemons are yellow an' Limes are green?
AL: OKAY! Geez you bug!
Makoto: Ha ha ha! You guys are funny. It must be cool where you live.
AL: You're not half bad either. You outta come down to L.A.
Loyd: Hey, Big Buddy. Ya'll remember the last time ya took a forigner with us home.
AL: She was from TJ! Besides, She can get a passport.
Boomer: You'd like the beach house. It's cool.
Makoto: I'd like to, but...
AL: Oh no. It's the "but" pause. Sounds like you got Demons in you.
Loyd: AL! Can ya turn it down? *to Makoto* Somethin wrong?
Makoto: My parents died in a plane crash. I'm kinda scared of flying.
Boomer: Oh. Class B?
AL: No doubt. You gotta look at the sunny side of things. It's a good view.
Loyd: That helps alot! Ya'll just let it out like that.
Boomer: Mako-chan, flying is fun! It's even better when your not Fed Exed.
Makoto: ???
Loyd: That happens alot at his school.
AL: I'm workin' on it! But on the bright side, he does learn alot about other countries.
Loyd: AL!
AL: WHAT!?
Loyd: We wanna help Makoto get over flyin', not make it worse.
Makoto: (Laughs) It's okay, Loyd. You guys just wanna make me feel better.
Boomer: I see a smile! Can we do the happy dance?
???: Such foolishness. No wonder humans are imperfect.
AL: What the hell?
Loyd: Look over there! (points to Dark Diva)
Dark Diva: You're a smart cookie. I think that you may be a little wiser than the rest.
AL: You makin' fun of me? You makin' fun of me! I'll kick your cute ass for that one!
Dark Diva: I don't know if that was compliment or an insult. But I can retort. DIVALING COME FORTH!!! (Summons a Rocker type Divaling)
Divaling: Ready to rock!
Dark Diva: Finish this garbage!
Divaling: No prob! Time to rock! (Grabs guitar) ROCK CRUSHER!!!(Hits a chord and sends a shockwave)
Loyd: AAAAHHH!!!!
Boomer: EEEEK!!!!
Makoto: AHHHH!!!
AL: What? You guys don't like music?
Loyd: How can ya take that blast?
AL: It's my chord! Did you forget? Makoto! I can buy you some time, so get to the sailor thing!
Makoto: Right! (Turns to the corner)
Loyd: What about us?
AL: You know the drill! Get out the way!
Boomer: Yes sir! (Runs away)
Loyd: Boomer! Wait fer me! (Follows Boomer)
AL: Time to kick some trailer trash! Bring it on!
Divaling: You want more! You got more! (Swings guitar over AL's head)
AL: GRK! You wanna play El Kabong? Eat this!!! (Connects with an uppercut)
Divaling: AAAAHHH!!!! I won't lose to you! JAM STRING!!! (Guitar strings snag AL)
AL: What the!!? I can't move!!!
Divaling: Get a load of this! (Plays a chord that electrocutes AL)
AL: AAAAAAHHHH!!!!
Divaling: How'd you like THAT tune!!! HA HA HA HA!!!
Sailor Jupiter: SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE!!! (Lightning ball strikes at the divaling)
Divaling: AAAAK!!! Where'd you come from?!
Sailor Jupiter: Wouldn't you like to know! (to AL) You okay?
AL: That jerk... (Jumps to his feet) I'll KILL HIM!!!
Sailor Jupiter: Hold on! Let me handle this for you.
AL: Hey! I'm no easy win, girl. I can handle this!
Divaling: Now's my chance! BASS BLASTER!!! (A thunderous wave collides with the two)
AL: GAAAH!!!
Sailor Jupiter: UGH!!
Divaling: Want some more, or do you give up?
AL: I don't believe this...
Sailor Jupiter: I told you to let me handle this.
AL: Like I told Petey boy... You talk too much! Why don't we hit him together? More pain for the bad guy ya know.
Sailor Jupiter: Huh? .....
Divaling: Take this! (rishes at the two)
AL: Eat this! (AL and Jupiter strike the divaling with a thunderous punch)
Divaling: AAAAHH!!!!
Sailor Jupiter: That was rock solid! What did you do?
AL: Never had a punch like that. Think it came from that guitar attack he used.
Sailor Jupiter: That could be what we need.
AL: Ten steps ahead of ya! Hit me with your best shot, kid! (braces himself)
Sailor Jupiter: Here we go! SUPREME THUNDER!!! (Shocks AL with a thunderbolt)
AL: MAN!!! WHAT A RUSH!!! (Turns to Divaling)
Divaling: You think you can beat me now! BASS BLASTER!!!
AL: Suck on my LIGHTNING UPPERCUT!!! (Electric blast rips through divaling's attack and hit divaling)
Divaling: NOOOOOO!!!! (Destroyed)
AL: We DID IT!!!
Sailor Jupiter: What a shot! You rocked!
AL: Yeah, but...
Loyd: (Comes back with Boomer) You okay, big buddy.
AL: Feels like I went 12 rounds... I'm hungry.
Boomer: AL, I got an email from the others. It says there's a meeting tomorrow.
Sailor Jupiter: Good idea. This was harder that anything I ever fought.
Loyd: Reckon we jest mosey on to your place then.
Boomer: Yay! And I saved the groceries. We can have supper!
AL: I could use a meal. How 'bout you?
Sailor Jupiter: Yeah. Let's get cookin'.
(Jupiter helps AL to his feet as they head to Makoto's place)
