A Sailor Moon Fanfiction: The Pledge of the Sun.

Chapter 26

"Hey! What're you going to do about this, young lady?" he demanded. "Maybe if you fork over your money, it'll make him feel better."

Usagi immediately squealed in fear as she hid behind Harusuke. Her brother then stood bravely in front of the men.

"Hey! Back off, bub! If you mess with my sister, you're messing with me!" he spoke.

The thug in orange laughed. "What are you gonna do about runt?" he mocked. "You're like a twig compared to me."

Harusuke glared, not wanting to back down, but he knew that there was no way he could take on all three of them at once.

Then they heard a voice.

"She said she was sorry. So why don't you guys back off?"

Everyone immediately turned around, and there stood a young girl. She was tall, a few inches taller than Harusuke, had long brown hair tied in a ponytail with long bangs, and wore a school uniform that had a long brownish-green skirt with a pair of high heels that matched. She also had pink rose earrings on each of her ears.

"I saw the whole, and even someone as dumb as you three could see that she barely bumped into you," the girl continued. "Not to mention that you were trying to con a girl and beat up her brother. That's pretty low, even for you guys."

"What'd you say?!" growled the man that wore orange, now glaring dangerously at the girl.

"No one talks to us like that," said the man in the aqua tank top. "Not even a girl like you!"

The man in the aqua tank top reached out to grab her shoulder when suddenly the girl immediately grabbed his hand. Before he or anyone else had a chance to react, she threw him over her shoulder and slammed him into the concrete ground stunning him. The man in orange then charged at the girl with his fist raised. The girl saw the attack coming and tilted her head, dodging the blow and at the same time gave the man in orange a sharp knee right in his stomach, knocking the wind out of him and knocking him out. Usagi and Harusuke were amazed while the leader of three was shaking in fear for what the girl had just done. Then he took off, running as fast as his legs could carry him.

"Awesome..." murmured Usagi.

"She... she took them both out in seconds!" gasped Harusuke.

The girl then looked at the Tsukino siblings and smiled kindly. "Are you two OK?" she asked.

"Y-yes! We're fine!" stammered Usagi.

"Good," smiled the girl. "You two take care now."

The girl flashed one more smile as she walked away, her earrings glistening in the sun. Usagi and Harusuke, and even Luna were amazed as the girl disappeared.

As the girl went on her way, she couldn't help but look back at Harusuke in particular. When she did, her cheeks flushed bright pink.

"Wow! That guy looks so cute!" she thought. "He looks just like the guy that broke my heart!"

Back in the Dark Kingdom in the throne room, Queen Beryl had summoned Zoisite as well as Malachite and explained what the Great Ruler said.

"When the Seven Great Monsters revive, and the rainbow crystals brought together," she said. "The Legendary Silver Crystal will shine brightly and be found. Those were the words of the Great Ruler."

"I remember the Seven Great Monsters," spoke Malachite. "Long ago, they were our most powerful monster allies, but our enemy sealed them away."

"Your memory serves you well, Malachite," said Queen Beryl. "The legendary Seven Great Monsters were our most powerful in the Dark Kingdom. Until the day we suffered a great loss to Queen Serenity. She used the Silver Crystal to seal away each of the seven into separate fragments of the Silver Crystal itself and then banished them to Earth. Those are the seven fragments known as the Rainbow Crystals."
