Thread: In the Name of the Almighty (Razgriz x Karameida)

Sailor Moon Pluto Jupiter Saturn Mercury Venus Neptune Uranus The night was clear and calm, a small breeze whistled through the brilliant green of the leaves of the trees. The air was still warm from the day and the citizens had mostly turned in to rest for the night. It was just another perfect and beautiful night in Crystal Tokyo. But there was unrest in the Crystal spire. The Sailor Senshi sat awake, unease apparent in their ranks. And at the center sat the Queen herself and the leader of the Sailor Senshi, Sailor Moon. Sailor moon sat there chewing on her bottom lip while thoughts hurried across her mind in rapid succession. Why did she have to fight again ? Hadn't she done enough when she had sealed chaos away? Wasn't she the ruler and Queen of Crystal Tokyo? Queen's didn't fight, did they? Didn't they just send all their pawns and knights out to fight for them? Surely eight of the Sailor Senshi was more than enough to take on just four baddies. She shook her head and rubbed her temples. No, no it was not enough. She had the silver crystal and she was the only one who could use it. So she had to set aside her crown and cozy life style and take up arms again to save the world from destruction again . She felt frustration build up inside of her and she almost started to cry but managed to refrain somehow. She may be the ruler but goddess help her if Mars saw her crying. She let out a sigh and let her head drop. I wonder if.... trailing off she shook her head slightly never mind . It felt odd, all of them being back together again. True, they had remained in contact since the eight other soldiers were her body guards but, it had been many a century since Sailor Moon herself had to gear up to fight with them. In fact it had been awhile since any of them had fought together like this, most of their tasks in the last few centuries had been minor needing only one or two of whoever was closest to the trouble to be able to deal with it. Being brought back together like this had put a strain on them and it showed, the tension in the air was palpable and no one spoke. It wasn't long before footsteps rang down the hall, bringing an end to the uncomfortable silence. A moment later, King Endymion entered and headed for the small gathering. Getting up from her spot Sailor Moon ran into the arms of her husband and sighed feeling his strong arms wrap around her. I don't want to fight again.... she whispered feeling the tears shimmer in her eyes. Burying her head into his chest she let him hold her for awhile. Feeling a little calmer she took a step back from her husband and looked at her comrades. All of them had abandoned the Sailor outfits and the transforming in general and had opted for a quicker means of responding to battle. Sailor Moon herself had kept with the old way's and still transformed into her Sailor Scout uniform, which is what she now wore. Feeling a little out of place she brushed her skirt off and smoothed it of any possible wrinkles. What do I say? she thought to herself chewing on her bottom lip. Endymion lowered his head and whispered into her ear before taking his leave. He too would be joining in the battle. At his absence things once more returned to an uncomfortable silence between them. In this silence Jupiter rose and stretched her body until a series of loud pop's and cracks echoed around the room. Careful Jupiter. Don't overdo it, we'll need your strength in this battle. Pluto said calmly. Jupiter nodded and sat back down, chewing on her bottom lip as she contemplated the events that led them to being here. Her and every other senshi in the room had the same subject running through their minds. Despite having fought innumerable battles before this, something about this situation felt very different from what they had experienced in the past, a terrifying darkness lurked at the edges of the soon-to-be conflict and it made them all uneasy. If we go in like this we likely won't make it. Pluto said, pausing briefly before continuing again. These doubts, fears and uncertainties we are harboring will only help our enemies. she finished. Through her veil she stared at each Senshi in turn before her head turned to face Sailor Moon herself. If you didn't know any better, you'd never know she was actually blind if her gaze fell on you, it was as if she was actually looking at every aspect of you and at the moment, her gaze was directed at the Queen. As if following Pluto each of the Senshi's gaze came to rest on their leader as well. Each gaze held something different, some held questions, some held doubts and all of them were aimed at her. Unable to look them in the eye she glanced off to the side Ah, well, we've had difficult battles before and won, we can do it again! she said offhandedly in the usual Sailor moon style. All of them thought back on their battles and each sighed in turn, none moreso than Pluto as she recalled all their previous battles. Almost every single one, things had usually gotten as bad as they possibly could before Moon herself decided to act and fight back. Needless to say, her comment left none of them with any confidence. Sensing this she cleared her throat I think it might be a good time for everyone to get ready. she said to the rest of the senshi. Pluto silently nodded and held her hand straight out in front of her with her palm facing downwards. Underneath her hand a scythe began to materialize. The base of the Scythe formed first and from it two ribbons that looked to be made of frost appeared winding around it. Before long the blade of the Scythe materialized, it's cruel and sharp edge glinted menacingly for a moment before a thin layer of ice coated the blade giving the once smooth edge a serrated look, which made it look all the more deadly. Following suit Jupiter stuck her hands out to her sides as if already gripping her weapons. Lightening sparked around her hands and two crescent blades formed. Bolts of electricity ran along the edges of the blade as if they had their own electrical currents running through them. Finally Saturn reached her hand up as if trying to grasp the heavens. Along her arms metal gauntlets formed covering her upper and lower arms before encasing her fingers. A large blade began to form above her outstretched fingers spinning faster and faster as it took on it's true form. Reaching up a little higher she grabbed onto a grip that was off center of the whirling metal disc. Lowering it she grabbed onto a separate grip located on the opposite end to the one she was currently holding and in one swift movement split it into two separate weapons . Neptune held her hands out in front of her and water formed in each palm slowly taking the form of two blades before the water began to drip off revealing a pair of sai's . Uranus held one hand out to her side, a small wind beginning to circulate around the room, growing stronger until it looked as if she was holding onto a small tornado, the winds began to die down and in her hand she held a Naginata . Mercury raised her arms up as if drawing an arrow, and similar to Neptune water formed in her hands before dissipating and revealing a bow with a bowstring made of shimmering water. Venus shifted slightly, at her hip light began to gather and glow becoming almost blinding, as the light faded a whip rested where the light had been. Last of all was Mars, without moving, flames sparked to life in her right hand. The flames quickly advanced up past her head and downward towards the ground, the flames and heat intensifying for a moment before they began to die out revealing a lance. And in silence they waited though they did not need to wait long as a thunderous roar shredded the silence in the city to pieces. Everyone in the room stiffened and looked at each other It's- I guess they have arrived. Sailor Moon said her voice trembling slightly. It does seem that way, I suggest we get going. the blind Senshi said as she stood up and headed for the door. Everyone rose and solemnly followed after her, Sailor Moon herself hesitating before following after the rest. They filed out of the door and glanced up at the sky in unison They've certainly made it very easy to spot them.... Jupiter said eyeing the very prominent portal hanging in the skies above Crystal Tokyo. With nothing left to say they all began to run through the pristine streets of Crystal Tokyo. Like shadows they moved quickly and silently as they headed towards the enemy that had appeared and who'd so formally challenged them. Each of them watched as the portal grew nearer to them and with each step they took a small niggling of doubt appeared in the backs of their minds. Before long they reached the portal and it seemed that an enemy had already appeared. Taking up her normal position as leader of the Sailor Senshi, Sailor Moon took center stage. What do you want? she hollered out to the figure, managing to keep her voice from shaking. Each of the Senshi glanced at her in turn. They all let out a collective sigh and some of them shook their heads. It was pretty obvious what they wanted. But there was Sailor Moon for you. I would be more worried about where the other three are. Pluto said to her. Last edited May 29, 2018
