New Friends and New Enemies-Part 4 "Now you only have to cure the others," Rowen said. Just then, the other Ronin Warriors and Sailor Scouts came in. Yuli and Mia were safe with White Blaze and the sailor cats. "What happened to the Warlords?" Sailor Moon asked Sailor Mercury. "Well, we took care of Sekmet," she answered. "Took care of who, girl?" Sekmet growled the other two warlords stood next to him. "I thought we made an ice sculpture our of you, mate!" Sai snapped. "Sailor Moon, you must cure the evil in their hearts," Anubis said, "it will take all the nine armors to defeat Tulpa." "Sure thing! Moon Healing Activation!" The Dark Warlords were healed from their evil. "Now, we must stop Tulpa," Ryo urged everyone. "And Queen Beryl," Sailor Moon added. "You will have to fight Tulpa on your own." "We understand," Anubis said, "we can handle Tulpa." "Ahahaha!" Tulpa boomed, "Me? Oh, I'm insulted!" The Sailor Scouts screamed when they saw Tulpa. He looked so evil, so scary. They never encountered anyone who looked so evil, so inhuman. Beside him was Lady Kuyra and Queen Beryl. "I’m surprised you made it this far," Queen Beryl said. "Take care of them, Kuyra." "With pleasure!" she jumped toward the Ronin Warriors. Suddenly, the Ancient’s Staff appeared in Mia’s hands. "What’s this for, Ancient?" she asked. The Anicent told her to use it against Kauyra. Lady Kaurya advanced to Mia and she screamed as she blocked her swords with the staff. The staff protected Mia from all evil. "Sailor Moon, you need to change Lady Kaurya back!" Rowen shouted. "Right…Moon Healing Activation!" Lady Kaurya shouted when the healing blast shot her. She fell to her knees and stood up, "Wha-what happened?" "It is time to stop Master Tulpa," Anbuis explained. "I'm tired of waiting, Ronin Warriors," Tulpa growled, "I will destroy you and Queen Beryl will destroy the Sailor Scouts!" "Not if you can't see us!" Sailor Mercury shouted, "Mercury Bubbles…BLAAAAAST!" "I can't see in this blasted fog!" Queen Beryl shouted. "I will get you, Moon Princess, I'll get your friends too. The fog of the bubbles were stronger than her ordinary bubbles. The water from the waterfall made her stronger. "Where are they?" Lord Tulpa demanded hotly. "Sailor Moon, listen to me," Sailor Mercury coaxed, "we are the sailor scouts and you are the Moon Princess. Our job is to protect you." "but I just want to be a normal teenager!" Sailor Moon mumbled, "I wish Tuxedo Mask was here. Oh Whaaaaaa!" "Shut up, Sailor Moon, don't be such a baby!" Sailor Mars shouted, shaking her, "Tuxedo Mask is not here and we’re going to have to fight without him!" "He's still probably under their brainwashing spell," Sailor Mercury suggested, "let's win this battle for him, okay?" Sailor Moon gathered up her courage. She nodded with a gulp, "You're right Mercury, thanks!" "We can do it, Sailor Moon!" Sailor Jupiter said, trying to sound encouraging, "we can do it all right?" she put her hand in the center. "Yes," Sailor Mercury put her ungloved hand on top of Jupiter's. "Hey, what happened to your glove?" she asked. "W-well, I-I," Sailor Mercury stammered, "gee, well, I uhhh," Sailor Jupiter smiled and nodded, "I see!" The rest of the Sailor Scouts put their hands in the center. "Let's go Sailors!" Sailor Moon shouted, "the fog is beginning to clear, get ready!" they all stood in a line, Sailor Moon in the center, Sailor Mercury on her left, Mars on her right, Sailor Jupiter on the side of Sailor Mercury and Sailor Venus on the side of Mars. The fog finally cleared and Queen Beryl sat on her throne, her long, bony fingers circling her crystal ball. "I will destroy you and take your powers to unleash the Negaforce!" "I don’t think so, Beryl!" Sailor Moon shouted, lifting her wand up and whispered, "This is for you, Tuxedo Mask, wherever you are." She shot Beryl's ball with her wand. "Aghhh! You broke it into pieces!" Queen Beryl stood up and held her hands out, a dark energy came from her hands. "Ohhh, too bad!" Kento shouted. "Go for it Sailor Scouts! Show that witch what you're made of!" "Now Sailors!" Sailor Moon cried, "Cosmic Moon POWER!!" "Mercury Ice Bubbles…FREEZE!!" "Mars Fire…IGNITE!" "Jupiter Thunder….CRASH!!!" "Venus Crescent Beam…SMASH!!" Their combined powers were surprising to Queen Beryl, but her dark energy was stronger. "Ahha--you'll never defeat me!" "Keep firing!" Sailor Moon groaned though her concentration. "I'm to strong for you, Sailor Brats!" "Stop calling us brats!" Sailor Mars snarled, pushing her fire power. "You're moon dust, Queen Beryl!" Sailor Moon cried, reaching for her tiara. "I wouldn’t say that," Jupiter said with a groan, "after we're done with her, she wouldn't even be dust!" "Moon Tiara…MAGIC!" her tiara took each of the four powers with it, making it stronger. The tiara struck Queen Beryl's heart. And as Sailor Jupiter predicted, not even dust was left. "We did it!" Sailor Venus cried. "Yes!" they all put their hands together in a high circle. "Oh look the Ronin Warriors!" Sailor Mars observed. The Ronin Warriors and the Warlords weren't having as much luck with Tulpa. "We have to help them!" Sailor Moon ordered. "Go!" "I won't go down as easily!" Tulpa screamed, noticing Queen Beryl's defeat. "We have to give our power to Ryo," Rowen coached the others, "the white armor of Inferno may be our only hope." "If it will destroy Tulpa, then let's do it!" Kento agreed. They gave their armor power to Ryo and he had his white armor of Inferno. The White Armor of Inferno was very powerful, maybe as powerful as a Dark Warlords, but powerful enough. "We're tired of being your puppets!" Dais shouted. "Web of Deception!" "Quake With Fear!" "Black Lightning Slash!" "Snake Fang Strike!" "Star Sword Scream!" "Rage of Inferno!" Their combined powers knocked Tulpa backward. The castle began to shake. "Ryo, leave us. You must get out of here!" Anubis urged. "But what about you?" Ryo felt so odd acting concerned for the dark warlords who used to try to destroy him and his friends. "Use this!" Mia threw the Ancient's staff to Anubis. "Thank you Mia," Anubis said, "go quickly." "I'm not going!" Sailor Venus shouted, "we never run!" "Right now would be a good time to start!" Kento said, lifting her up on his shoulder, "come on guys, we've got to get out of here before we're squashed flat!" Sai grabbed Sailor Mercury's hand, "let's go, Amy! The Warlords will take care of Tulpa." The Sailor Scouts and Ronin Warriors made it out alive and they turned to see the castle fall aprt behind them. They heard the screams of Tulpa followed by the Warlods and Kauya. "I can't believe it…they used to be our enemies and they gave up their lives for us!" Sai said, his voice filled with sorrow. "I guess I don't have to worry about Sekmet poisoning the water anymore." "Gee, this is just so hard to understand," Sage agreed. "Hey, look!" Sailor Mercury shouted, pointing, "the Netherworld, it's changing!" With Tulpa gone, no longer to corrupt and take over the Netherworld, it was changing from a barren landscape into a beautiful paradise. *** They returned back to Mia's to say goodbye. "We're going to miss you, Ronin Warriors," Sailor Moon said with a tear forming in her eye. The Ronin Warriors removed their helmets. "Here," Sai said, returning Sailor Moon's glove, "I'm healed now so I don't think I'll be needing it anymore. Sailor Mercury pushed his hand back, "keep it to remember me by." Sai smiled and took his short sword from his back, "I want you to have this." "A sword?" she said, taking the gift, "thank you." She took Sai's hand and they kissed cheek to cheek, like the way Europeans greet each other. "I'm going to miss you, Sailor V," Kento said, his voice wavering. He caught himself sounding mushy, so he cleared his throat and started talking tough again. "I'm going to buy every Sailor V comic I can find…and I'll search high and low for that video game!" "I'll miss you too Kento," she said, cupping his chin to kiss his cheek. "This charm will bring you luck," Sailor Mars murmured, placing the charm in Ryo's hand. "Thanks," he said as he embraced her. "Here, Sailor Moon," Rowen said, reaching into his quiver, "I want you to have one of my arrows." "Why, thank you, Rowen," Sailor Moon said, "but I have nothing to give you." "Wait, I know," Luna said. She did a flip, revealing a small black disk. It had the planet symbols and Ronin Warrior attribute symbols on it. She picked up the disk in her mouth and gave it to Mia. "What's this?" Mia asked. "Sailor Moon data. You can download it onto your computer so you can keep in touch with us." "Kind of like our communicators," Sailor Mercury added. "Precisely," Luna assured. "That's awesome!" Kento shouted. "Thank you for this adventure," Sailor Moon said. "It was wonderful!" When it was time to say goodbye, the Ronin Warriors and the Sailor Scouts all leaned in for a large group hug and after saying goodbye ten times and holding silky gloved hands with strong, armored ones. The Sailor Scouts stood in a circle, joining hands. "We'll meet again soon," Sailor Moon promised them, "I'm sure of it." A wind pushed the girls' hair back as they began to teleport. "Moon Prism Power!" "Mercury Power!" "Mars Power!" "Jupiter Power!" "Venus Power!" "Sailor Teleport!" As the Ronin Warriors watched the Sailor Scouts leave, they wondered if Sailor Moon was right and if they would ever see them again. Maybe someday they would. But one thing's for sure, they just had the best adventure of their lives! Forever in Your Debt
