Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Seeds of Darkness ❯ Seeds of Darkness ( Chapter 2 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Pheobe sighed shaking off her exaustion. Three days in Tokyo and already she was nearly drained completly. Rubbing her eyes she sat down on the bench and took out her drawing pad, gazing out at the lake before her. Sighing she began to make a few brief strokes with her pencil, forming the shapes and picures on paper.

Her senses began to tingle as she felt a rush of joy and cheer overcome her and she couldn't help but smile. Her memory began to recall her first day as she remembered how the same emotions took her over when she first saw the golden haired girl. "Hello."

Usagi smiled, plopping down beside the violot haired girl. "My names Usagi."

Pheobe smiled, setting down her notebook and turning to the girl. "I'm Pheobe."

"I know, they announced it in class." Curiously she glanced at the drawing pad Pheobe held, then out to the lake. "Wow thats really good. But whos that?" Usagi pointed to the young woman in the drawing.

Pheobe closed her drawing pad immediatly, shocking Usagi. "It's my mom."

"She's really pretty."

Pheobe looked away, trying to hide her tears. "She died in a fire."

===================================

"Still you havn't awakened. How many more deaths will it take?"

The dark king stood to get a better view of the Earth. His black cape drapped over his shoulders and a crown rested on his dark blonde hair. His eyes scanned the planet impatiently, searching for his treasure.

"Perhaps you need more encouragement." He raised his staff high above his head, it's dark green gem glowing with intensity. "Seeds of Darkness, Awaken!"

======================================

"I was comming home from school, with my friend Merriam and...there was a fire at our building. No one could get out The firemen said they hadn't seen anything like it.....There were no survivors."

Usagi nodded, desperatly thinking of a way to cheer the girl up. "Would you like to come to the game center with me?"

Pheobe began to nod when she was stopped, feeling a sudden wave of malicious anger wash over her. No not again, the same feeling from the fire, it was all happening again. Immediatly after she felt a sudden shock of urgency for...Usagi?

"Pheobe. Pheobe are you alright?"

Pheobe nodded, taking a few deeps breaths, suppreshing the emotions that had overwhelmed her with such power. "Someone needs you."

"What?" Usagi prepared to question Pheobe more when she heard the familier beeping of her communicator. They did need her..who was this girl? "I'm sorry I have to.."

"You have to go."

Usagi nodded, hurrying off.
Pheobe glanced back, watching the odongo haired girl leave. Why could she sense her more then anyone else? Were her emotions that strong? And what was this malicious evil she kept feeling? She shuddered, still feeling it's lingering darkness. Things were definatly getting worse for Pheobe Mahou.

========================================

"They're popping up everywhere.."
Luna stopped as the four Inner Senshi and Artemis turned around, greeting Usagi.

"What is it?"

Artemis pointed a paw toward Rei's computer. "Theres a strange force appearing all over the planet, it's scattered but all contain the same pattern of energy."

"What?"

Ami adjusted her glasses and began to read her own handheld computer. "I'm detecting at least twenty remote signatures all over the planet. They're not very powerful, but they're numerous."

"Can't we just go and stop them?" Questioned usagi.

Ami just shook her head. "Only two signatures are located in Tokyp, the rest are scattered across the globe. I'm detecting the energy in Canada, England, Africa, they're all spread out."

Makoto approached, peering closely at the computer. "Theres no way we can get to them all in time."

Rei spoke up. "There is one way."

Minako nodded, catching onto Rei's plan. "The Sailor Teleport."

Ami nodded, closing her computer. "That may work, but we've never tried it numerous times before. I'm not sure we can handle transporting that many times in one day."

Makoto thought deeply, considering the problem. "Ami what if we split the battles?"

"That might work, but what do you mean?"

Minako nodded. "We could call the outer senshi."

Luna looked at the girls. "Are you sure that will work?"

Ami nodded. "We could give it a try."



An hour later nine Senshi and one Tuxedo Mask met at the shrine, ready to do battle. Luna nodded, addressing the ten warriors. "Venus and Tuxedo Mask will take care of the evil withen Tokyo. Uranus, Neptune Pluto and Saturn will take the Western Hemisphere. The rest of you will take the eastern. Me and Artemis will be in contact at all times."

They all nodded and the inner and outer senshi joined in seperate circles. Concentrating the energy began to form around them, creating a shield before a two pillars of light shot down, carrying the two groups to their destination. Venus watched them leave and looked at Tuxedo Mask before turning back to Luna and Artemis. "Wheres the first one located Artemis?"

"Crown Game Center."

=============================

Sailor Moon and the other senshi shielded their faces as they found themselves in the middle of a windstorm. "Where are we?!"

"WHAT?!"

Sailor Moon inched closer. "I Said WHERE ARE WE?"

"I CAN BARELY HEAR YOU!" Cried Mercury "WE'RE IN ITALY!"

"WHERE'S THE YOUMA?" Screamed Jupitar.

Mars shielded her eyes, squinting ahead. "I THINK IT'S THE WINDSTORM!"

"We have to engage it!" Yelled Mercury.

"WHAT?!!" Screamed Sailor Moon.

"I SAID WE HAVE TO FIGHT IT!!!"

"YOU THINK THAT WILL WORK?!"

"IT MIGHT DRAW IT OUT!!"

Sailor Moon nodded, removing her tiara. "Moon Tiara.."

Mercury glanced at Sailor Moon and gasped. "NO NOT THAT!!"

"Action!!"

Mercury's eyes widened. "DUCK!"

Sailor Moon looked at her friend. "WHAT?!!!"

Mercury pointed to the tiara, which was now coming straight at them. Sailor Moon shrieked as she and the other Senshi hit the ground, just as the tiara came spinning back.

Mercury looked at her friend. "ARE YOU DONE?"

Sailor moon nodded, still shaking from what had just happened.

Mercury nodded. "WE HAVE TO BE UPWIND! OTHERWISE OUR ATTACKS WON'T WORK!"

"OH!!" Yelled Sailor Moon.

The four Senshi joined hands, steadying themselves against the buildings as they began to make their way to the other side.
They all waited while Mercury checked the position. "ALRIGHT! WE HAVE TO ATTACK THE CENTER!"

"WHAT?!" Screamed Jupitar.

"THE CENTER!!"

Mars stood ready as her firey bow appeared in her hands. "Mars Flame Sniper!"

The arrow hit dead center and the wind began to pull back into it's source.

"NICE WORK MARS!"

The other senshi winced at Jupitar's comment. With the wind pulled back into it's source, it was a lot easier to hear the person next to you. Jupitar smiled apolligetically. "sorry."

Mars nodded then peered straight at the true form of the youma. "What is that?"

They all looked , following Mars' gaze to a form of green energy, wind still swirling around it like a tornado. Slowly it's head turned, it's face meeting that of the Senshi's.Gradually it's mouth curved upward to a grin and it began to spin towards them.

"Jupitar Oak Evolution!"

The youma cackled as the leaves became caught up in it's tornado.

Mars rolled her eyes. "Great, that really helped. Mars Flame Sniper!"

Mars unleashed her arrow again, the youma began to spin, shifting directions as the Oak Evolution and Flame Sniper hurled back at them."

All four Senshi ducked and Sailor Moon glanced at her friend. "Mercury I thought you said these Youma weren't very strong."

"They're not, it just keeps shifting directions."

"So We have to trick it right?"

Mercury nodded to Jupitar. "We have to make it unable to change directions."

Sailor Moon paused to think. "I think I have an idea."

All three looked at Sailor Moon in shock.




Mercury glanced at the Youma, then back to the other senshi "...Actually that might just work."

Mars nodded. "Ready when you are."

Nodding Mercury stood, facing the Youma and preparing her attack. "Bubble Spray!"

The Youma continued to spin as the area was filled with a thick fog.

"Now!"

Immediatly the Senshi scrambled to their positions on each side of the youma, just as the fog cleared.

"Shine Aqua Illusion!"

"Mars Flame Sniper!"

"Thunder Dragon!

"Moon Tiara Action!"

The youma pused, not knowing what to do, it glanced in all drections as the attacks came at it, desperatly trying to escape as they bombarded it all at once. Shrieking it's tornado dispersed, and the green creation of energy fell in a heap of dust.

Mercury was first to approach the defeated enemy. "It worked."

Sailor Moon nodded proudly. "I told you."

Mars blinked in surprise. "Ya, Sailor Moon actually had a good idea."

Jupitar nodded. "And it was successful."

Sailor Moon folded her arms in protest. "What was that supposed to mean?"

They both looked away, gazing at anything else but their angry princess.

"Mercury what are you doing?"

Sailor Moon and Mars both looked at their intelligent frind in response to Jupitar's question.

Mercury glanced at Jupiter, then stood after scooping a small amount of the youma's remains into a jar. "Luna wanted me to bring back a sample. We're still not sure who this new enemy is, so we both agreed it might help to analize some of the remains."

Jupitar scratched the back of her head in curiousity. "Oh.."

Sailor Moon looked to the sky, gazing off in the distance. "I wonder how the Outers and Tuxedo Mask are doing."

Mars rested a hand on Sailor Moon's shoulder. "They'll be fine. But we should get back to work."

Jupitar nodded. "Do they know how to reveal the youma?"

Mercury nodded, closing her communicator. "I just sent Luna and Artemis a message, they'll relay it to the others.

==================================

Next the outers visit Canada and come up with an unusual enemy.
And, Tuxedo Mask and Venus battle their own youma in tokyo when they come face to face with a sticky gelatinous mess.
