Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ The Star Scouts ❯ An Interesting Battle ( Chapter 4 )

`Telepathy or thoughts'

(AN: R/R!)

Sailor Emerald jumped off the roof of the building she was on and into the alley below. Emerald stopped beside Sailor Aquamarine.

"What does she think she's doing? Sending a whole patrol here?" Emerald asked.

Aquamarine shrugged.

"We're gonna try to take the patrol out a few at a time. Sapphire, Ruby and Crystal are setting up an attack out there. We just have to lure the patrol to the traps." Aquamarine informed her.

"I'll do it." Emerald said immediately.

Aquamarine hesitated, then, "Okay then go…..now!"

Emerald darted from the alley they were in and into the street. She looked around and spotted the fifteen youma patrol farther down the street.

Grinning impishly, she whistled, shouting "Hey youma! Over here morons!"

The youma turned around to face her, blinking stupidly.

"Catch me if you can!" Emerald blew a raspberry at them.

The youma patrol started charging at her and she turned and ran. As she ran, Emerald sent out a telepathic message to her scouts.

`Okay, I got them to follow me. Sapphire, where do I lead them?'

`Turn left at the second intersection you get to, Crystal will take down a few there.' was Sapphire's mental reply.

As Emerald got to the second intersection and turned left, she heard someone shout,

"Down!"

Emerald flattened herself against a wall as Sailor Crystal came out of an alley.

Crystal extended one finger and placed it on the gem on her tiara. The gem started to glow orange as she shouted her attack, "VenusLove Laser!"

A bright orange laser beam erupted from her extended finger on her other hand and cut down four youma. Crystal quickly gave Emerald a mock salute as she teleported. Emerald started to lure the remaining youma away as Sapphire gave her instructions again. Just as she rounded the corner at the next intersection someone thwacked her on the head.

Sailor Uranus looked at the miniature Sailor Jupiter she had just hit on the head with the hilt of her Space Sword. The girl rubbed her head and glared at Uranus.

"Which side are you on, ours or theirs?!" The girl snarled. Looking over her shoulder, she suddenly shoved Uranus aside, into an alley. A ball of red energy slammed into her, sending her skidding backwards. Uranus stared for a moment and ran out of the alley as Sailor Neptune arrived. There were at least eleven youma. Soon four more mystery scouts appeared.

"Are these the Star Scouts that we were told about at that meeting?" Neptune asked.

"I guess so." Uranus replied.

The leader, Sailor Emerald, had been backed into a corner and had formed a gun-like shape with her hands, the gem on her tiara glowing.

"Jupiter Lightning Blast!"

A green beam quickly disposed of five youma. Neptune and Uranus watched, stunned.

"Heh…I guess they don't need our help, eh?" Uranus asked, blinking.

Neptune nodded silently, but neither moved.

Emerald ran head-on towards a youma then did a front handspring over its head as Aquamarine, who had been behind her, set off an attack.

"Neptune AquaFalcon!" A large amount of water shaped like a bird, soared into the youma, killing it and the two behind it.

The two grinned and high-fived, then they looked at Crystal, Ruby, and Sapphire.

"Would you like to do the honors of cleaning up the rest of the scum?" Emerald asked lightly.

"Of course."

Ruby stepped forward.

"Mars Fire Flash!"

The remaining youma were easily wiped out. Ruby smirked as she dusted off her hands. Emerald deliberately turned her back on Uranus and Neptune, saying "C'mon scouts, let's get home."

"Wait!" Neptune said quickly.

Emerald turned slightly to face her, dark green eyes emotionless.

"Yes?" Emerald replied coldly.

"Who are you, really?" Neptune asked.

The girl looked straight into Neptune's eyes for a moment then her piercing gaze moved to Uranus. It was then that Neptune realized just how close the two were in height, Emerald was probably only maybe three inches shorter then Lita and she was still growing.

Emerald looked back to Neptune and finally said "You'll find out when the time is right."

With that said the Star Scouts vanished. Neptune and Uranus looked at each other.

Lilly sank onto one of the couches, a red one in this case, in the huge living room. Misty was reading a book, Kate was flipping through the channels on the TV, Kaze was curled up on another couch as she watched Kate turn the channels, and Hannah….

Lilly blinked in confusion. Where was her princess?

Suddenly, she sensed someone coming in the front door, courtesy of her mother being a priestess and having a sixth sense.

She turned around and saw Hannah walk in the living room, smoothly sliding her dark blackish blue jacket off and putting it on a coat hanger.

"Where'd you teleport to?" she asked as Hannah sat down beside her.

"I went to see if I could find any other youma in the area." Hannah replied calmly.

Lilly shrugged and settled back into the couch.

"So Hannah, if Neptune uses her Aqua Mirror, won't she figure out who we are?" Lilly asked.

"If she does she'll get a big surprise." Hannah smirked.

******

"Mirror, show us who the Star Scouts really are!"

Neptune held her Aqua mirror in her hands. She watched in shock as the image of Sailor Emerald appeared. The mystery scout was shaking a finger as she mockingly said "Tsk, tsk, tsk. I thought you would've realized by now that it wasn't going to be that easy to find out who we are, but I guess not. Remember what I said, you'll find out when the time is right. See ya."

The image vanished. Neptune blinked in confusion, then detransformed.

Serena doodled on her a piece of paper as Mr. Tokoro droned on about Calculus. She glanced up at Amy, who was diligently writing down notes. Then she looked at Kaze and Hannah. Both were jotting down notes occasionally. The bell rang at that moment. There was the usual rustling and noise as everyone stood up.

"For tonight's homework do page 205 in your math book." The teacher called.

Serena stood up, hurriedly scribbled down her paper and grabbed her books. She and Amy walked to their lockers together.

"Hey Lita!" Serena called the tall girl over to them.

"Hi Serena, Amy." Lita grinned.

"How much homework do you have tonight?" Lita asked.

Serena closed her locker saying "Page 205 for math and some report on Tanaka Kakuei that's due next week."

"Hey Serena!" a voice called.

They trio stopped and turned around to see Hannah coming towards them.

"Why don't you and you're friends come to my place to study today?" She asked.

"Sure!" exclaimed Serena.

"Great, see you in an hour. Gotta book it!" Hannah dashed off into the crowds of high school students.
