Serenity and Endymion

Chapter 21: Rescue Mission Starts

I quickly sneak into the base, and defeated the small monsters guarding the area.

'Damn it! Now all I can think about is how god like his muscles were. Not to mention his skills in bed~I wouldn't mind helping him with his thoughts...'

I growled in frustration, now I was turned on and stuck in a rescue mission. 

"Sailor moon!" A soft shout came from behind me.

I quickly turned, recognizing that voice in a split second. I embraced her, "what are you doing here?! It's dangerous!"

"It's my fault that Mamoru and the others are captured. I want to save them too!"

"Fine but stay close."

"WELCOME SAILOR MOON!"

All of the sudden, the two of us were relocated. Standing in front of us, was who I assumed to be Rubeus.

"It's so nice of you to come here. I've been waiting to meet the Moon Princess that my prince fancies so much."

"Well, I don't fancy him."

"Feisty. You know, my prince always gets what he wants. Yet, you're future self was somehow able to escape his grasp."

"Well, I am guarded by the most powerful friends, not to mention my lover."

"Ah yes! You're Ladies and Prince correct. Yet, here they are."

Mamoru and his knights, along with Mercury and Mars were tied up.

"Minna! Are you alright?!"

They couldn't even raise their head to look at me. Furious I glared at him.

"What did you do to them!"

"It's not my fault they couldn't withstand a little fire and pressure. Though Lady Mars was a bit more stubborn. Nothing I couldn't handle."

I took out my wand, and whispered to Rini, "Go hide somewhere. This is about become a full on battle."

She nodded her head and hid.

"Now then, I believe I have something to give to you."

"And what's that?"

I clicked my teeth in anger.

'How dare he act so arrogant!'

I shot a quick burst of purification towards him. Something he managed to dodge by transporting.

"Well that's not a very good gift. I'll show you what a good gift is!"

He created what looked like three beads. Expecting them to be something similar to a bomb, I quickly created space between us.

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

The  three bombs went off, creating flames and a smoke cover. I quickly gathered as much energy as I could, "Moon...Princess Halation!"

Taken by surprise, I thought the attack would hit. Yet for some reason, the attack hit right below him.

"What!"

"That was close. Looks like I won't be able to hide my cards from you."

All of the sudden, the gravity in the room changed. My knees slammed onto the ground. I winched at the new injury.

"Ugh, you!"

He didn't let me finish my sentence.

"How does it feel to kneel in front of a member of the Black Moon Clan? Let alone a mere commander like myself?"

I gathered all my strength to get up.

"I won't kneel to the likes of you! Rini, are you alright?!"

"I'm fine! But I can't get up!"

"Don't worry about that, as long as you're not injured."

"Don't worry about me!"

"you must be pretty confident to not pay attention to me...PRINCESS!"

My eyes widened as he punched my stomach. My legs lost their strength, but I regained my stance.

"I will not lose!"

"Then let's see how much you can take!"

"SAILOR MOON!"

I dodged his next blow, "Don't underestimate me! I trained my body as well!"

I raised my wand and shot my attack. Even if he transported, my attack should have injured his shoulder.

Then, the gravity increased.  He reappeared and kicked me in the stomach.

"You just injured me! Now I'm going to make you into my punching bag!"

I used the silver crystal to give me a physical boost. I blocked his punch with my hand.

"TSS!" I withdrew my hand while dodging the blow.

"Not bad but, you forgot. My main powers are related to fire."

"So you used your power to burn my hand."

"You're pretty smart for a sheltered princess."

"I'm not a sheltered princess! I may have been one in my past life, but now I fight alongside my friends and prince!"

All of the sudden, the gravity changed. This time, all the weight that was pushing me to the ground was gone.

"WHAT?!"

Rubeus instantly turned to one spot. I followed his actions only to find Rini.

"Rini? When did you?!"

"Sailor Moon! Now' your chance!"

I turned to Rubeues and channeled the silver crystals power to my wand. He was able to withstand the attack twice. So I have to add more power into it.

"Moon...Princess Halation!"

He instantly blocked the attack with his own fire.

"Rini! Go wake up Tuxedo Mask! We have to be ready to escape at any moment. And it's only possible if he is awake!"

"Got it!"

"Not if I can help it!" He transported to dodge my attack, and aimed at Rini.

"Rini! Watch out!" I didn't have time to create a barrier. But I didn't want to see my daughter get burned. So I ran and protected her in my embrace.

I shouted out in pain. His fire was burning my back.  "Sailor Moon!"

I looked down at her and smiled, "I'm fine. Now hurry!"

She nodded her head and ran to Mamoru.

Charging my wand, I fought against him and won.

He fell down and shouted, "Did you think I'd give up? You're going down to hell with me!"

He created a massive flame and set the entire room on fire.

'Dammit! There was already enough flame residue from our battle! Why did you have to go and launch a suicide attack?!'

I could have saved him with my crystal. But then again, he didn't wish for it. And I didn't have the power to purify one against their will. I could turn them into moon dust though.

"Sailor Moon! He's not waking up!"

"Then I don't have any choice. I'll have to teleport us myself."
