Sailor Moon Defenders

By AmandaDoE

Chapter Twenty: Epilogue

Krotan was delighted with Octon's victory and heaped praise on the computer. "Yours was a victory to end all victories. Not only will your power know no bounds, but I will have the lovely Jedda Walker as my bride. She will be the Queen of Mongo, Earth and the Universe! I will also have not only Rick Gordon executed but the one known as Sailor Saturn too."

"What about the rest of the prisoners?" Octon asked.

"They would prove useful as guards of the planet," Krotan answered. "whether they want to or not."

He knew that he only had twenty four hours to conquer Earth and wasted no time as he called on Garax.

"Prepare your robots for invasion." Krotan said to Garax. "Earth will soon be ours. Let us first attack Central City, and Monitor, the Defenders' headquarters."

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Usagi looked down in disbelief as April had shut down Monitor's defense systems. She saw the screen that read DEFENSE SHUTDOWN. "I can't believe it. This can't be happening."

She was startled with a loud banging noise, followed by a crashing sound. She turned around to see that Makoto have knocked over some nearby objects.

"Was that necessary?" Mandrake asked, slightly annoyed.

"What do you think?!" Makoto exclaimed in anger. "We can't let Krotan get away with this! There has to be a way to save our friends!"

"It's clear that Makoto needs to blow off some steam." Lothar suggested.

"Why don't we head to the Battle stimulation room." Flash suggested to the remaining Sailor Guardians. "I need to blow off steam for what Krotan did to the kids and our friends."

"Please do before all of Monitor gets destroyed before Krotan can get to it!" April exclaimed.

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Setsuna glanced over at Mandrake as the group was preparing their friends for some training in the Battle Stimulation room.

"So this is the Battle Stimulation room." Chibiusa stated.

"That's right." Kshin nodded. "You project what's on your mind and it appears in the room."

"I guess we're about to find out what you mean." Setsuna nodded. "Makoto in particular needs to work off her frustrations. Then after they are done, we will have to work on a way to rescue our friends."

"What's with the mix tape?" Chibiusa asked.

"Flash requests this on rare occasions." Mandrake answered. "This appears to be a rare time when it is needed for training."

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Makoto glared in anger as she was in the Battle Stimulation room with Flash, Usagi, Haruka and Michiru. She didn't acknowledge anyone in the control room. She wanted to nail Krotan for all that he had done to her friends.

The Top Gun song "Danger Zone" started to play on the intercom.

"Do your thing girls!" Flash told the Sailor Guardians.

I thought you'd never ask. Makoto thought.

"Jupiter Crystal Power…"

"Uranus Crystal Power…"

"Neptune Crystal Power…"

"Moon Crisis…"

"Make up!"

Makoto was in her sailor fuku along with the rest of the teammates just as "Danger Zone" was going off. Then, the Aerosmith song "Kings and Queens" started to play.

Makoto looked as the group saw what appeared to be ice robots on the scene. Flash was firing his gun at his opponents.

"World Shaking!"

"Deep Submerge!"

"Moon Tiara Action!"

"Sparkling Wide Pressure!"

Those attacks wiped out their opponents.

"So far, so good." Flash stated.

More ice robots were approaching them.

"Here they come again!" Flash exclaimed before firing his gun at his opponents.

"Space Sword Blaster!"

"Deep Submerge!"

"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"

"Moon Princess Halation!"

The attacks took out their opponents again. Then another song came on, this time it seemed to be slightly calmer than the previous two songs. It was from the Highlander soundtrack being the song "A Kind of Magic" by Queen.

"One more round and Ming's forces will be defeated!" Flash announced as more ice robots appeared on the scene. Makoto couldn't help but to roll her eyes. She knew this was only a stimulation but she wasn't intending on telling him that.

Makoto looked on as Flash fired his ray gun at his opponents.

"I think that we should give Flash the upper hand." Michiru suggested.

"As well as ourselves." Haruka nodded in agreement.

Michiru got out her mirror. "Submarine Reflection!"

The attack appeared to have weakened the ice robots.

"Now let's finish this!" Flash exclaimed as he continued to fire his gun.

"World Shaking!"

"Deep Submerge!"

"Moon Gorgeous Meditation!"

Makoto posed as she prepared her attack. "Right. For our friends. For Rick, LJ, Jedda, Ami, Rei, Minako and Hotaru."

She looked on as the attena on her tiara emerged as she saw Krotan among the group of ice soldiers.

"Jupiter, my guardian planet!" Makoto prepared her attack. "Bring forth a storm! Summon the clouds and bring down your thunder! Supreme Thunder Dragon!"

The attack was the finishing blow that finished off the army of ice soldiers.

The music and the stimulation ended as the group hurried back to Monitor and met up with Setsuna, Mandrake and Chibiusa.

"Are you okay now, Mako?" Chibiusa asked.

"Yeah." Makoto answered. "The fire is still there, but it's tempered now."

"We should meet back with the others." Flash suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea." Usagi replied.

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Makoto looked on as the group she was with met up with the others back at Monitor.

"Is the girl calm now, Mandrake?" Cathleen asked with curiosity in her voice. She only rolled her eyes in response as it was clear that the woman might have used her anger to her advantage if she wasn't calm like she was now.

"She appears to be." Mandrake answered. "It appeared that she needed to blow off some steam from what Krotan has done."

"Hmmm." Cathleen replied. "That's understandable."

Flash looked at the others and said, "We must hold off the invaders for twenty four hours. It's our only hope to save our planet and rescue our kids as well as the Sailors Mars, Mercury, Venus and Saturn."

"That's what I have in mind!" Makoto exclaimed with determination.

"Little chance there, Dad." April replied. "With Dynak's defense networks shut down, we can't even use our weapons with any success. The Sailor Guardians can only help against the invasion for so long before they get overwhelmed themselves as most of them have been taken. It's going to take nothing more than a miracle to prevent Krotan's forces from gaining a total victory."

Makoto groaned in annoyance as she had been reminded of the shut down.

"Unless of course," Mandrake spoke up, "the victory should prove illusory."

"Wait. What do you mean?" Makoto asked.

"You're about to find out, my dear."

The group watched as Mandrake worked a splendid feat of magic. He created an illusion of another Earth, at a safe distance from the real one. He made the real Earth invisible to the invaders.

"Wow!" Usagi and Chibiusa both exclaimed in awe.

"I don't believe it!" Haruka added in surprise.

"It looks so real!" Michiru added.

"It looks exactly like the real thing." Mamoru stated.

"But of course." Mandrake quipped.

"We can see it too." Lothar added.

"Krotan will think he is invading the Earth," Setsuna stated with a grin on his face, "when in reality, he is causing the destruction of nothing."

"Krotan's not gonna see it coming!" Makoto exclaimed with a smirk.

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Krotan watched on as the invasion was going on as he had planned. He looked around with some confusion as this appeared to be too easy.

"This is easier than I thought." he stated. "Soon the power of the universe will be at my fingertips!"

Octon then replied, "Our rewards are nearly at hand. One thing puzzles me though, I cannot understand why we are suffering no losses."

Krotan looked down as he appeared to have no answer to that.

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Twenty-four hours had passed and April reactivated Dynak X's defense networks. Setsuna and Chibiusa joined Usagi, Makoto, Haruka and Michiru in having their sailor fukus on while Mamoru was in his hero outfit.

"Is everyone ready for Mongo?" Flash asked.

"We're ready." Usagi nodded.

"I will remain here to make sure nothing happens to keep Mandrake from using his illusions." Setsuna announced.

"I guess I will stay here too." Cathleen added as she crossed her arms.

Makoto glared at the woman in annoyance before she followed Flash, April, Lothar, the Phantom, Usagi, Chibiusa, Haruka and Michiru to the Terry.

"We must beat back Krotan before he does anything to the hostages." Flash said. "We have to free Rick, Jedda, LJ, Ami, Rei, Minako and Hotaru before Krotan finds out his so called victory is meaningless."

"That's not a problem." Makoto smirked. "We should have enough time with Mandrake keeping the illusions going."

"And with Setsuna watching out for him and keeping an eye out on Cathleen." Mamoru added.

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

The group arrived on planet Mongo. Usagi looked around as she saw the icy environment that was the planet.

"So this is Mongo?" Usagi asked as she covered her arms. "It's just as cold as Ice Station Earth!"

"Why don't you just learn to ignore the cold?!" Chibiusa exclaimed in annoyance.

"Enough guys!" Makoto got the girls to stop bickering. "We need to rescue our friends!"

"I believe we know where they are taken to." the Phantom spoke up. He led the way to the icy cavern where he could tell their friends were being imprisoned.

"They're imprisoned in there." Makoto stated.

"Look!" Usagi exclaimed. Makoto looked to see four wands sitting on an icy stub.

"Those are the wands belonging to Rei, Ami, Minako and Hotaru!" Makoto exclaimed. "Krotan was stupid to leave them here."

She leapt up to grab the four wands. "I got them! Now to free our friends!"

"By jungle law, the Ghost Who Walks calls forth the power of ten tigers!"

The Phantom called forth his powers and then he knocked down the prison entrance and rushed to his daughter's side.

"Father, it's been terrible." Jedda said.

"Krotan was going to kill me to make you suffer, Dad." Rick added as Flash freed him from the chains.

"He was going to have me killed too." Hotaru stated as Haruka freed her from her bondage. "He knows about the legend of the Silver Millennium as well as my power as Sailor Saturn."

"I swear if I ever see Krotan again, I will surely give him a piece of my mind." Makoto stated in anger.

"Gimme a break, Pop." LJ stated before he asked. "Where have you guys been?"

"Save the talk for later." Flash replied. "We better go before Krotan gets here."

"Sounds like a plan, Dad." Rick nodded in agreement.

"Here's your wands, guys." Makoto said as she handed Rei, Ami, Minako and Hotaru their wands as the group made their way back to the Terry.

"Our wands!" Minako exclaimed.

"Thanks, Mako." Ami added.

"What I didn't get was why we were being fed properly while being imprisoned." Rei stated. "You don't think Krotan knew of Jedda's pregnancy, do you?"

"Most likely." Jedda stated. "And knowing Krotan, he thought after I married him, the baby would be his future heir."

"Not a chance." Rick replied.

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Mandrake noticed that the heroes had all returned with Rick, Jedda, LJ, Rei, Ami, Minako and Hotaru all safe and sound.

"You guys are safe!" Setsuna exclaimed with relief.

"Mommy Setsuna!" Hotaru hurried to her and hugged her.

Mandrake smiled before stating, "Since everyone is now safe and sound, it's time for the illusion to have an explosive conclusion!"

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Krotan watched in disbelief as he, Octon and Garax managed to escape Earth, which had exploded seconds after they have left. He watched in dismay as most of his robotic army was stranded in space and floating out of control.

"What happened?!" Krotan demanded. "Where did Earth go?!"

"There has been some problems beyond my programming abilities." Octon answered. "Most unfortunate indeed."

"Idiot Computer!" Krotan yelled in anger. "My father will reduce you to rubble!"

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

"I cannot believe this!" Ming exclaimed in anger. "My disgraceful son had done all this behind my back!"

He looked in anger as Krotan arrived at the throne room, looking at him in fear, clearly knowing that he was in trouble.

"If there was a son born to rival your deceit and stupidity," Ming angrily told his son, "let him ooze forth from the frozen slime of Mongo to embrace you. Until then, get out of my sight! I hereby banish you to the Forest of Frozen Spines!"

Ming watched as the guards proceeded to take Krotan away to the destination he was banished to before he faced Octon.

"As for you," he told the super computer, "my useless bucket of bolts, prepare to say good riddance. My disgust for you knows no bounds."

"May I point out, sire," Octon spoke up, "I have done nothing more than honor the commands of Imperial son of the Imperial ruler to Mongo. I also know how powerful the Sailor Guardians are as well as their legend."

"The Silver Millennium?" Ming asked.

"Precisely."

Ming saw the information regarding the Sailor Guardians that intrigued him as well as some video footage of their attacks. "This changes everything. The Sailor Guardians are more powerful than I anticipated."

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Flash looked around as the heroes were celebrating their most recent victory as well as the safe return of their children and comrades.

"Talk about close calls." April stated.

"I'm glad that you're safe, Rick." Flash looked at his son with relief. "Thanks to Mandrake of course."

"I couldn't agree more, Flash." Setsuna stated. "I thank you, Mandrake the Magician, for the safe return of Hotaru."

"As well as Ami, Rei and Mina." Artemis spoke up. Both Luna and Diana nodded in agreement, both giving out a small meow.

"I have you to thank for my daughter's return too." the Phantom spoke up.

"And I for my son's." Lothar added.

"Glad we're all back in one piece." Makoto stated.

"Well Dynak X," Flash asked, "did you learn anything from this?"

"Yes." Dynak X answered. "I learned never to get hit with the Mongo Bolo again."

"Checkmate!" Artemis exclaimed.

Flash yelped in surprise before letting out a chuckle, "Looks like the cat's got my tongue."

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Cathleen looked over at the heroes. She felt as if each of them had some tremendous potential for her plans but wasn't sure where to begin.

She first eyed the Sailor Guardians. Those girls could prove useful. However, she seen how powerful they were, therefore they could be more of a threat to her. She then turned towards Mamoru and figured that he could be a useful pawn against the Sailor Guardians.

Cathleen sighed before eyeing the Defenders. She would have to think carefully on which one would be a perfect pawn for her to use. She decided to wait on that and enjoy the celebration for the day. Her plans can come into effect for another day.
