Sailor Moon Defenders
By AmandaDoE
Chapter Fifteen: Trouble
Mandrake glanced over at the other adult Defenders at the Battle Stimulation Room. He looked to see Flash and Sheila talking to each other. Then he looked over to Lothar.
"Do you really think it was a good idea sending Cathleen to be with the kids?" Lothar asked.
"Well," Mandrake answered, "the Inner Sailor Guardians are with them. Rei said that they would keep a close eye on her while our kids work on the repairs."
"She seems to be very cautious about things, especially Cathleen."
"I guess it's a good thing that she is."
"Cathleen is very suspicious." Setsuna said as she walked in the room with Haruka and Michiru. "Rei has every right to not trust her."
"And with my past with her," Mandrake crossed his arms, "I don't really trust her all that much."
"We will just have to see what happens this time around." Lothar placed a hand to this chin.
"Agreed." Setsuna nodded in agreement. Haruka and Michiru both nodded in agreement.
Mandrake glanced over at the Phantom and noticed that he was even more reserved than usual.
"Is he all right?" Haruka asked.
"That's what I want to know." Michiru added.
Mandrake made contact to the Phantom's mind and learned what was going on. Then, he gently tapped Flash on the arm.
"The Phantom is worried about Jedda," Mandrake told his friend, "especially with the fact that she is now pregnant."
"He's not wrong." Flash replied before speaking up to the others. "I have an idea."
"What would that be, Flash?" Sheila asked.
"Why don't we go surprise the young ones up at the space station where they're working?" Flash suggested.
"Hmmm." Sheila quipped with a smirk. "That sounds like a great idea."
"I agree with Sheila," the Phantom added quickly, "Let's go."
"I hope they won't think we're checking up on them," Lothar stated, "but I'd like to see if LJ is okay."
"Then it's settled." Flash replied. "Mandrake, I'd like you and the Outer Sailor Guardians to stay here with Kshin, Chibiusa and Hotaru to look after things."
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Ming scanned all four screens as an evil grin spread across his face: He saw the Glow people work on the shields, then he saw Rick, Jedda and LJ working on repairs on the space station as Cathleen looks on and the Inner Guardians keep an eye on her, then he saw Flash, Sheila, Lothar and the Phantom on the ship to prepare to visit their kids, then he saw Mandrake, Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna talking with Kshin, Chibiusa and Hotaru.
"Excellent!" Ming exclaimed in delightment. "Now I know the location of every Defender! The Earth has never been so open to attack. With only that cheap carnival conjurer and a helpless boy inside Monitor, the planet will easily be mine! We can use false information to Gordon and the rest of the Defenders. Then they will be easy targets to destroy!"
"Sire," Octon spoke up, "Need I remind you, that the Defenders of the Earth have now joined forces with a group of young girls known as the Sailor Guardians. They've proven to be quite powerful as they helped the Defenders dethrone Queen Hadea."
Ming placed his thumb and index finger to his chin.
"So," Ming replied, "the legendary Sailor Guardians are with the Defenders of the Earth now, huh? Yes, these girls may prove to be a threat if they are as powerful as to dethrone Hadea from her conquest of the galaxy."
Ming pressed a button which revealed Krotan on the screen.
"You called for me, Father?" Krotan asked, greeting his father.
"I need your assistance," Ming answered. "The Defenders of the Earth have now joined forces with a group of girls that are known as the Sailor Guardians."
"So you want me to deal with a group of girls who are with the Defenders of the Earth?" Krotan asked with a smug smile on his face. "You're not making this up, are you?"
"No, I am not!" Ming exclaimed. "These girls helped the Defenders defeat Hadea, so chances are they will help the Defenders of the Earth thwart my plans to conquer the Earth."
"So where do you want me to begin?" Krotan asked.
"Lead an attack on Monitor, without delay!" Ming answered.
"Very well, Father." Krotan nodded before signing off.
Ming glanced over to Garax, who was standing close by.
"Garax," Ming ordered his ice robot leader, "I want you to lead an army of your own and see to it that my son, Prince Krotan meets an "honorable" death in combat."
"Yes, Excellency," Garax replied.
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
"I sense something's about to happen." Setsuna stated as she glanced around the area.
"Pu," Chibiusa asked, "what do you mean?"
"Yeah," Kshin added, "what are you talking about?"
"It feels as if we're about to deal with trouble." Setsuna answered.
"Intruder alert!" the group could hear the booming voice of Dynak X in the room. "Intruder alert! Robo armies approaching with Prince Krotan leading the army."
"Prince Krotan?" Michiru stated.
"Ming's son." Setsuna calmly replied.
"Kshin, get into hiding!" Mandrake told his adopted son.
"Uranus Crystal Power…"
"Neptune Crystal Power…"
"Pluto Crystal Power…"
"Saturn Crystal Power…"
"Moon Crisis…"
"Make Up!"
Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Hotaru and Chibiusa were all transformed, prepared for battle as the ice robots arrived at the scene.
Garax got out a gun and zapped Mandrake, which trapped Mandrake in a frosty looking cylinder.
"Mandrake!" Haruka exclaimed in shock.
"Looks like we have our word cut out for us!" Michiru added.
Garax aimed the gun for the Sailor Guardians as well.
"Silence Wall!" Hotaru got out her glaive and used it to sheild herself and the others from meeting the same trap as Mandrake did.
"World Shaking!"
"Deep Submerge!"
"Dead Scream!"
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!"
The attacks hit the ice robots in blast and took full effect.
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Flash looked on in relief as the adult Defenders were making their way back to Earth.
The Sailor Guardians were doing their job and making sure Cathleen wasn't doing anything fishy and keeping their children safe. Mandrake had nothing to worry about now. He would be sure to tell him what was happening.
"Flash," Sheila announced, "we have a problem!"
Flash looked to find a strong force of ice robots attacking Monitor.
"Ice robots are heading towards Monitor!" Lothar stated.
"Let's go!" Flash told the team as he landed the ship.
The four broke through the hordes of robots and sending them into forced retreat.
"Well look who it is!" Sheila exclaimed.
Flash turned to see that Lothar had grabbed Krotan with Sheila glancing over at him.
"Where's Mandrake?" Flash asked in a shout. "How could this have happened?!"
"Guys!" Setsuna shouted as she arrived at the scene, "The ice robots attacked us! They trapped Mandrake in some sort of cylinder!"
"Looks as if you're in big trouble, brother." Sheila snided at her half brother.
"Shut up!" Krotan replied.
Flash made his way to Monitor with the Phantom, Lothar and Sheila as Krotan was their prisoner.
They found Mandrake inside an enormous frosty looking cylinder.
"Is there any way to get him out of that?" Michiru asked.
"I can try." Chibiusa answered. She looked down for a moment and closed her eyes. Seconds later, the odango covers on Chibiusa's hair started to glow and vibrate and gave out some energy which freed Mandrake from his prison.
"What's all this?!" Flash asked in shock.
"You might say the Ice robots took us all by surprise," Mandrake answered, "They put me in this cylinder, which made me powerless."
"Not exactly the evening we had planned." Haruka stated.
"My thoughts exactly." Mandrake smirked.
Flash looked up as he realized something, "We've got to move fast. The kids and the Inner Sailor Guardians might be in trouble."
"Right." Setsuna nodded. "Let's contact them."
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
"Okay. Now to make those final repairs for the Space Station and we should be all set." Rick said.
"That sounds like a good idea." April replied.
"Why you guys didn't let me do much is ridiculous." Jedda stated. "I might be pregnant but I'm not disabled."
"We let you help out some." LJ replied.
"This is for the safety of the baby." Rick stated calmly. "You do know that, right?"
"Rick's right." Makoto added. "They just want you and the baby to be safe."
"What's that?" Ami asked, pointing to an image that she saw in the satellite camera that scanned Scald Sky.
"I see it too." Rick answered. The group looked to see images of solar guns ready to shoot streams of energy into the storage bins on the Glow Planet.
"That's not good." Minako clasped her hands to her mouth.
"I better get word about this to Dad." Rick said.
"You do that." April nodded. "Space radio net?"
"No." Rick shook his head. "Too risky. I'm going to type the data onto our computer."
"Good idea." Usagi nodded in agreement.
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Flash looked on the computer screen, reading the urgent message.
"That's Rick's emergency message!" Flash exclaimed.
"What does it say?" Hotaru asked.
"Run your missles through the refrigeration chambers and attack." Flash answered. "Things are worse than I've imagined but there's still time to defeat Ming."
Flash quickly tapped out a message to Rick on the keyboard of Dynak X.
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Rick read the message his father gave him and then he launched the frigimissles, which were specially protected against the scalding heat of the Glow planet.
Rick watched as a frigimissle exploded on a weak hinge of the magnetic sheild and the entire structure flew apart.
He smiled in satisfaction, knowing that the sun's energy would no longer be used for Ming's terrible purpose.
"Good." Rick stated. "Now, we're able to make the final repairs in peace."
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Cathleen watched over the group as Rick and LJ were doing most of the repairs and Jedda was talking to Minako and Rei while Usagi, Makoto and Ami were standing close by.
She glanced over at Rick. There was something about this young man that she just couldn't lay her finger on. Maybe she could use him as a pawn in her plans for these group of heroes. Cathleen only wondered.
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Flash glared in anger at Krotan, wanting answers about Ming's plan.
"What are Ming's plans?" Flash demanded. "Where is he hiding?"
"Like I would tell you anything." Krotan replied.
He looked as Haruka got out her sword, Setsuna armed her staff and Hotaru got out her glaive.
"These girls mean business and so do I!" Flash told Krotan. "I will ship you to Scald Sky if you don't talk!"
"Okay." Krotan sniveled. "I'll talk, I'll talk."
"Good," Flash replied. "I will ask you again: Where is Ming hiding?"
"He… he is hiding at… Antarctica." Krotan stammered in between his answer.
"All right." Flash replied, not convinced of his answer. "Now, get out!"
Krotan left Monitor in a haste.
Flash looked over at Mandrake, who knew that their enemy had lied to them.
"Ming is really at Ice Station Earth," Mandrake told the others.
"I knew that Krotan would lie," Sheila crossed her arms. "He had always been known as a terrible liar."
"You don't think he might be up to something, do you?" Hotaru asked. "To try and get back at you guys?"
"One can only tell," Michiru answered.
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Krotan made his way to his ship in anger. He couldn't believe he was defeated that easily and especially by those girls known as the Sailor Guardians.
Krotan took a deep breath as he entered his ship with some ice robots in tow as he had something in mind for those people. Particularly the younger team of Defenders and even the Sailor Guardians that were with him.
