The three crossed innumerable rooftops before finally seeing the bright lights of Sailor Moon's and Sailor Mars' attacks. The saw that the location of the battle was in one of the few remaining dilapidated buildings of Tokyo.
Jupiter leapt down to the battle scene while Mercury noticed how Tuxedo Kamen crouched down, simply observing the fight.
"You sit by and watch until Sailor Moon is in trouble don't you?" she asked simply.
"Unlike you and the other senshi, I have no attacks aside from my roses and cane. Against these youma, I cannot risk putting Sailor Moon in danger by being hurt in a battle of nothing more than brute force and halfway thought out plans," he replied, his eyes continuing to follow the battle taking place. "Shouldn't you be down there helping them?"
Mercury blinked at his frankness but knew that he was right. Taking a deep breath, the senshi of ice jumped from where she was standing down to the floor behind Sailor Mars.
"So finally, all of the senshi are here," the four girls heard Zoicite state with a derisive chuckle. "I was wondering when you last two would show up."
"Why is that? Were you looking for a one way trip to Eternity, because we'll gladly give you one!" exclaimed the warrior of thunder as she cracked her knuckles.
"Well, more like the other way around, Sailor Brat. Have fun dealing with this creature, and good luck trying to find a way to defeat it. I have a feeling that Sailor Mercury might be the slightest bit too distracted to discover a way to defeat it," scoffed the light haired general. "Youma... whatever your name is, show them just what makes you so special."
"Hai, Zoicite-sama!" replied the box shaped, top hat wearing youma before three lines appeared on its front. What could only be described as the creature's chest opened revealing four speaker like devices.
The four senshi prepared themselves for a sonic blast, but were taken by surprised when nothing came from the openings. In fact for a few moments, the senshi heard nothing until a soft groan came from their leader as she covered her ears.
"Senshi... Get out of here!" ordered Sailor Moon, her voice reflecting the pain that was being caused by... No one was really sure what. The three unaffected senshi hurried to their leader to try and shield her from the invisible offender until their heads began to pound and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.
"What's going on?" questioned Mars, as she fought to ignore the pain that was coursing through her. She then noticed the way that Usagi had fallen to her knees, clutching tightly to herself in an attempt to either block out the pain or hold herself together.
"High pitched sound waves... Just like the last youma..." replied Mercury.
"But last time, only Sailor Moon was affected," Jupiter recalled as she tried to keep herself together long enough to call forth her attack.
"They must have done something to..." Mercury cried softly through the pain as she fell to her knees beside her leader. "...To make it cause all of us harm."
The Youma laughed stupidly as it walked towards the two standing warriors, it's right hand turning a knob causing the pain ripping through each of the senshi to intensify.
"Supreme..." the Amazonian senshi started before she was almost overcome by the pain. She dropped to the floor, her arms wrapped tightly around her torso as she felt herself being forced apart.
"Sailor Moon..." muttered Mars as she found both herself and Jupiter losing the fight to remain on her feet. "Can you do anything to attack this thing?"
Sailor Moon couldn't respond as she leaned against Mercury for support, her eyes slowly shifting from their brilliant blue to a shining silver.
"Now, show them your ultimate attack and earn a place in Dark Kingdom history forever," Zoicite commanded the youma.
The seemingly mindless creature nodded and raised a hand to its top hat, and lifted the top few layer, revealing the accessory to be nothing more than a stack of cd like weapons. It hurled the collection at the senshi. Just before it sliced into them, roses broke through the projectiles, shattering them.
"For harming the warriors of this city by using silent attacks makes you a blight upon this city, and Tuxedo Kamen will not forgive you for this," the tuxedo clad man shouted before he leapt from the windowsill he was standing on and landed in front of the four senshi.
"No... Endymion, don't..." he heard a soft voice whimper softly from behind him. He then realized that the pain had most likely caused Usagi to slip into unconsciousness, causing the princess to awaken with her for the time being.
"Kuso!" he cursed softly as he took a stance in front of her.
"Just remember what I told you and what you did the last time you fought, and when I give the word, launch your attack, " he told her. "You can do this. I have faith in you."
The scared blonde nodded and forced herself to block out what pain she could, praying to the goddess that the noise ringing inside her head would stop soon enough to allow her to concentrate.
Tuxedo Kamen could feel the anxiety and fear rolling off of the blonde as he launched a barrage of roses at the creature, hoping to pierce and destroy the speakers from which he could only guess the silent noise was coming from.
Just as the roses were about to hit their target, the roses were blown aside by a blast of wind and pink rose petals. The dark figure then felt himself being thrown back by the same sort of attack.
"Youma, you were equipped with a setting specifically for Earthlings. Use it," snapped the shitennou quickly.
The youma muttered a sharp affirmation before lifting its left arm and revealing a fifth speaker. Within seconds, Tuxedo Kamen heard a piercing sound invade his mind, and his entire body suddenly screamed in pain as he rose to his feet after the attack that Zoicite had launched moments before.
Just as the youma was about to throw one of its round weapons at the fallen warrior a high pitched cry sounded through out the building.
"Crescent Beam!" a bolt of energy slammed into the youma's front, smashing all of the speakers except for the one emanating the sound causing Tuxedo Kamen pain.
"What the hell?!" exclaimed Zoicite as he looked up and saw the silhouette of yet another senshi. "Where the hell are all of you coming from?!"
"That is none of your business, Dark Kingdom scum!" shouted the newest warrior, distracting the two attackers from the senshi as Sailor Moon slowly rose to her feet and moved as quietly as she could over to Tuxedo Kamen who was doubled over on the ground.
""Ai to seigi no sera fuku bishoujo senshi Sailor Venus! Kinsei ni kawatte, oshiokiyo!" finished the newest opponent to appear. Her long blonde hair flowed behind her as a red mask fluttered to the floor in front of her orange heel clad feet.
"Sailor Venus!" exclaimed Sailor Moon, her silver eyes clouded by tears as she was unable to think of a way to stop the pain her love was feeling. "Please! You have to do something to help him!"
Noticing something odd about the blonde across the room, the orange clad senshi of love raised her hand and gathered the energy surrounding her before launching another attack at the youma.
"Crescent beam!" cried the blonde warrior as the energy shot from her fingertips towards the creature. Before it was hit, the speaker like creature dove out of the way, causing the attack to miss it and head straight toward the senshi of the moon and Tuxedo Kamen.
Knowing that he was unable to do anything due to the pain he was still being caused, the odango haired girl shoved him to the side as hard as she could and took the attack straight to the chest.
Tuxedo Kamen, who had rolled onto his side, watched as the young warrior- no, his princess was struck.
"No!" cried out Sailor Venus as she started to raced towards her fellow senshi. She was knocked off of her feet by an intense surge of wind and landed beside the other three senshi.
"Serenity!!!" exclaimed Tuxedo Kamen, despite the way his muscles fought the simple.
"I have to thank you for making my job so much easier, Sailor... Venus, was it? To think that Sail- What did he just call out?" questioned Zoicite, ignoring the icy glare being shot at him by the blonde as he turned his attention to the two fallen warriors.
On the ground was Sailor Moon, as she crawled over to her love, completely oblivious to the bright glow surrounding her body. As the seconds passed, the glow brightened until she reached Tuxedo Kamen who had finally lost the battle for consciousness.
"Endymion," she whimpered softly as tears rained down from her eyes. "Wake up... Onegai..."
"He won't wake up!" exclaimed the youma triumphantly. It may not have been able to destroy the senshi, but taking out their precious protector was a duty which Zoicite expressed very clearly as being important. "His insides will soon be liquefied, and he'll die!"
"No... No... No. No! Noooo!!!" screamed the blonde as the glow once more began to intensify and engulf everyone in the room. Zoicite managed to teleport out a moment before the energy would have destroyed him.
The light haired shitennou floated outside the building until the glow had faded, planning to go back in and finish the job he had started. Beryl had made herself quite clear that if he was not going to come back victorious, he was not to return to the Dark Kingdom at all.
"Zoicite!"
Speak of the devil, he thought.
"Zoicite, bring me Sailor Moon!" he heard Beryl command. "Leave the other senshi for now. She has become our main concern!"
"Hai, Beryl-sama!" accepted Zoicite. Once the glow was completely gone, the youma was gone, and Sailor Moon... No... A strange girl wearing a long flowing dress with hair pooled around her, laid slumped over Tuxedo Kamen.
Before the senshi had a chance to rush to her side, Zoicite teleported into the building and held out his hand, causing the unconscious blonde to rise. She floated up into his arms as he smirked devilishly at them.
"Say goodbye to your precious leader," he mocked before the two of them disappear.
"No!" exclaimed Sailor Mars weakly as she struggled to hurry over to where her friend had once lain.
"No..." whispered Venus softly as she looked down, her fist clenching tightly as she realized the severity of what had just happened.
"How could you have been do reckless?!" screamed Sailor Jupiter as she slowly walked up to the new senshi.
"We can discuss this later, senshi," came a masculine voice from the feet of the two warriors. The taller warrior looked down to see a small white cat with a crescent moon shining through its fur.
"Who the hell are you two?" snapped the senshi of thunder.
"I'll explain everything, but first we all must go somewhere safe," insisted the feline.
"No... Jupiter is right. Who are you?" replied Mars as she walked up to the two as she and Mercury barely supported a still unconscious Tuxedo Kamen.
"Minna-chan," Sailor Mercury started. "The neko-chan is right. We need to get out of here before Zoicite decides to attack us while we are still weakened. Besides we still need to check on Luna."
The two angered senshi sighed and agreed. "Follow us," ordered Jupiter as she carefully took Tuxedo Kamen from the two and, using the amplified strength caused by her powers, carried him out of the building, the others in tow.
