Sailor Moon Defenders

Chapter Twenty-Nine: High Stakes
Sailor Aluminum Siren and Sailor Lead Crow found themselves outside the mansion, sights set on their targets. They both chuckled with delight.
"My," Sailor Aluminum Siren smirked upon seeing the sight of the mansion, "this is such a lovely mansion."
Then she feigned an awe tone, "It is such a shame that we have to wreck it to get what we came here for."
Sailor Lead Crow scoffed in annoyance. "We're not here for sight seeing you know!"
Siren looked over at her partner and nodded. "Of course. I know that."
They both looked in the window as she gave a smirk. "We are here for Rick Gordon and his powers."
"Along with the Sailor Crystals," Sailor Lead Crow added, "the true star seeds."
Siren gasped, as if she was sensing something.
"What is it, Siren?" Crow asked.
"Ho ho ho." Siren chuckled before speaking up. "I sense incredible amount of energy in this mansion. Ming the Merciless wasn't kidding when he said they were all here."
"Well," Lead Crow replied with a smirk on her face, "what are we waiting for? Let's make our move!"
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Jedda was startled hearing heavy footsteps coming this way. She looked up to see that Flash had just entered the room. LJ followed suit a few seconds later with Seiya in tow.
"Son," Flash asked, "are you all right?"
"Still a little weak," Rick nodded, "but yeah."
"Welcome back," LJ told his best friend.
"Thanks," Rick replied. He looked down as Jedda kept her eyes on them. "I wasn't really gone long, was I?"
"For several hours," Jedda answered. "It felt like an eternity though." She gasped, sensing something coming.
"Jedda, what is it?" LJ asked.
"I sense danger coming!" Jedda answered.
"I sense it too!" Seiya exclaimed.
"Intruder alert!" Dynak X's voice suddenly chimed in. "Intruder alert!"
Jedda looked up as Usagi, Ami, Makoto, Rei, Minako, Haruka and Michiru all arrived at the scene, all in their Sailor fuku.
"Rick's in danger!" Haruka exclaimed. "Hurry!"
"We got to hurry!" Michiru added.
Before anyone could make a move, a burst of energy emerged and two figures appeared on the scene.
"Who's that?" Ami asked.
"Who are they?" Rei added.
The first figure was revealed to be a woman in blue while the other figure was a woman with red hair.
Mandrake, Lothar and the Phantom arrived on the scene moments later.
"Father!" Jedda exclaimed.
"There's more of them?!" Mandrake exclaimed.
"Ho ho ho ho!" the woman in blue chuckled. "I am Sailor Aluminum Siren!"
"And I am Sailor Lead Crow!" the red haired woman added. "We are the latest of the Sailor Animamates!"
"Well, more of you is no problem to us." Lothar retorted.
"Oh really?" Sailor Aluminum Siren chuckled. "You think you can stop us?"
"We don't think, ladies." Flash replied as he armed himself with his handgun. "We know we will stop you."
"Ho ho ho!" Sailor Aluminum Siren chuckled again. "we would like to see you try!"
"And that we will!" Usagi declared. "For in the name of the Moon, we'll punish you!"
"We'll see about that!" Sailor Lead Crow replied. "Make your move!"
The heroes prepared for their fight.
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
"Deep Submerge!"
The attacks knocked down Sailor Lead Crow. She stood up and let out a small chuckle. "You really are impressive!"
"Supreme Thunder!"
"Venus Love Me Chain!"
"World Shaking!"
The attacks knocked down Sailor Aluminum Siren, who then stood up with a smirk on her face. "Ho ho! Not bad!"
"Nothing we do is beating them!" Makoto exclaimed.
"Those two are stronger than the one at the concert." Lothar stated.
Jedda grabbed the Necklace of Oros and placed it on her neck and hurried to protect Rick.
"I'll go get back up!" Seiya told the heroes before taking off.
"Where's April?" Flash asked.
"She's at Monitor with Kshin." the Phantom answered. "They're looking after things with Mamoru, Chibiusa and the cats."
"Enough chit chat already!" Sailor Lead Crow shouted, getting everyone's attention. "We are here to obtain the one with the Quasanite powers, Rick Gordon."
"We will claim him to Lady Galaxia." Sailor Aluminum Siren added. "The same goes your Sailor Crystals. We won't screw up like Sailor Iron Mouse did."
"Over our dead bodies!" Flash shouted.
"Watch your choice of words!" Haruka chastised him in response.
"Indeed, watch your words." Sailor Lead Crow before unleashing her attack. "Galactica Tornado!"
Flash, Haruka, Rei and Lothar were knocked down by the attack.
"They're not kidding!" Haruka grunted.
"Those two are more powerful than the last one." Rei added.
"No kidding." Flash added.
"My turn!" Sailor Aluminum Siren exclaimed before she unleashed her attack. "Galactica Tsunami!"
The attack knocks down Ami, Minako and Michiru.
"They mean business!" Minako exclaimed.
"Rick, run!" Ami exclaimed. "These two are more powerful than we thought!"
"It is useless." Sailor Aluminum Siren chuckled. "You cannot run!"
"And you can't stop us!" Sailor Lead Crow added, getting out her whip. "Now, if you don't want to get hurt, get out of our way!"
She used her whip to beat down Ami and Minako. Makoto and Rei got up and tried to fight back but Lead Crow used her whip to beat them both down as well.
"Guys!" Usagi exclaimed in shock.
Sailor Siren used a force of energy to knock her down as well as Michiru.
In response, Haruka got out her sword, lunging towards both opponents. "Space Sword Blaster!"
The two dodge then Sailor Siren kicked Haruka down to the floor.
"Uranus!" Michiru exclaimed in shock.
"Dead Scream!"
The attack took both Sailor Animamates by surprise and knocked them both to the ground.
Jedda looked on in surprise as everyone looked to see Setsuna and Hotaru arrived, all powered up.
"Pluto!" Usagi exclaimed in delight. "Saturn!"
"Crow," Sailor Aluminum Siren spoke up as she and Sailor Lead Crow stood back up, "let's get our main target and leave."
"Rick Gordon and his powers?" Lead Crow replied before she nodded. "Yeah. Then Lady Galaxia will be satisfied with us."
Jedda gasped as both Sailor Animamates were coming towards the room. She looked in relief as Hotaru leapt in front of her and Rick.
"Not a chance!" Hotaru exclaimed. "You're not touching Rick!"
She stared in awe as the young Guardian unleashed her attack. "Silence Wall!"
The attack blocks both Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow and caused the both of them to fall to the floor.
"Damn!" Sailor Lead Crow exclaimed.
"Our job's beginning to become difficult." Sailor Aluminum Siren stated.
"We intend to bring the Rick Gordon boy the Lady Galaxia!" Sailor Lead Crow exclaimed. "And that is exactly what we're going to do!"
"That's not going to happen!" everyone in the area heard Seiya shout. They looked to see that Seiya, Yaten and Taiki arrived at the scene.
"You took long enough." Flash scoffed.
"Healer Star Power…" Yaten called out.
"Fighter Star Power…" Seiya called out.
"Maker Star Power…" Taiki called out.
"Make Up!"
Jedda looked on in surprise as she saw those three transform into the Sailor Starlights. Somehow, she shouldn't really be surprised at this point as they were here for a purpose.
"Those forms!" LJ exclaimed in surprise.
"Those three are indeed the Sailor Starlights!" Flash added.
"Where drifting stars end their wandering…" Yaten stated.
"You'll find three invincible lights!" Seiya exclaimed.
"Sailor Star Healer!" Yaten posed in action.
"Sailor Star Fighter!" Seiya posed in action.
"Sailor Star Maker!" Taiki posed in action.
"The Sailor Starlights have arrived! Stage on!"
"We are getting tired of these interference!" Sailor Lead Crow shouted in annoyance.
"Well then, you should do the honorable thing." Mandrake replied as he got out his cane and the Phantom stood next to him. "Besides, you two have overstayed your welcome and I'm going to have to ask you both to leave!"
The Phantom touched Mandrake's cane. "By jungle law, the ghost who walks calls forth the power of ten tigers!"
Everyone looked on in surprise as the tigers emerged from the cane and were hitting both Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow.
"Agh!" Sailor Lead Crow shouted, taking the hits. "That was a cheap shot!"
"I guess we will have to take drastic measures here." Sailor Aluminum Siren groaned, taking the hits as well.
"But of course."
Lead Crow used a bit of her powers to knock down both Mandrake and the Phantom.
"Father!" Jedda exclaimed in shock.
Sailor Aluminum Siren unleashed a huge amount of energy which surrounded both Ami and Makoto, strangling them in the process.
"Ami, no!" Rick exclaimed in shock.
"Mako!" Usagi cried.
"World Shaking!"
Aluminum Siren deflected the attack, bringing everyone by surprise. Then she threw both Haruka and Michiru down to the ground.
"Uranus!" Setsuna exclaimed.
"Neptune!" Hotaru added.
"No way." Michiru groaned, slowly getting up.
"She deflected my attack." Haruka stated in shock.
"Now it's my turn!" Sailor Lead Crow stated before she leapt forward and placed Rei in a headlock.
"Mars!" Minako exclaimed as she rushed forward to try and help her friend.
"Aht Aht Aht!" Lead Crow exclaimed before placing her palm in front of Minako. "Stay right where you are or the Princess of Mars will get it before you do!"
"Rei!" Usagi exclaimed.
"Minako!" Jedda added in shock.
Sailor Lead Crow glanced towards Rick, who looked on in shock. "I guess now you get the idea."
"So, Rick Gordon..." Sailor Aluminum Siren smirked as she glanced at him as well. "If you really care about your friends here, you will surrender yourself to us, or are you so heartless you don't care what happens to them?"
"In addition," Sailor Lead Crow added, "if you continue to refuse, we will eliminate your precious girlfriend as well!"
Jedda gasped in shock as she prepared to fight against the two ruthless soldiers.
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Rick looked on in shock, gasping as well. He realized there was not much of a choice. A no win situation. Either way, they would have the Sailor Crystals, his powers and the Necklace of Oros and not only that, he was not going to let Jedda die in such a horrible manner.
"Rick, please no." Makoto pleaded as she was being strangled.
"Don't listen to them." Ami added, also being strangled by Siren's attack.
"Don't be… a coward." Rei pleaded, struggling in Lead Crow's grasp.
"Please, don't do it!" Minako pleaded. "Not for us!"
Rick took a deep breath before speaking up as he looked down. "Okay. I'll surrender."
"Rick, no!" LJ pleaded.
"I can't let them hurt Jedda. I won't." Rick told the others. "I also won't let our friends die. Not this way. Either way, they're going to get what they want."
"Please, no." Hotaru pleaded.
Rick faced both Sailor Aluminum Siren and Sailor Lead Crow. "Take me."
Sailor Lead Crow smirked in satisfaction. "Thank you for your cooperation."
She released Rei, who coughed from being held in the tight grasp. Minako hurried by her side. Then Lead Crow motioned Aluminum Siren to stop her attack. She did so, which released both Ami and Makoto from the attack, albeit both were unconscious as a result.
"Guys!" Usagi caught Ami before she could hit the floor.
"Hang in there you two." Lothar added as she held Makoto in his arms.
Rick needed to make sure that his friends were okay before going through with this plan. He knew Jedda was going to be okay but he needed to know how Ami and Makoto were. Before he could check on them, he felt someone grabbing him from behind, causing him to yelp.
He looked up to see that Sailor Lead Crow had grabbed him. He tried to break out of her grasp but she strangled him in a tight headlock. He felt himself growing weak and starting to black out.
"Jedda," Rick groaned before losing consciousness completely.
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
"Rick!" Flash exclaimed in horror. Mandrake grabbed him before he could get near the two ruthless soldiers.
Knowing there wasn't much time, Jedda tapped into the power of the Necklace of Oros and faced both Sailor Aluminum Siren and Sailor Lead Crow. "I order the both of you to go back where you belong and release him too!"
"We're not leaving without our prize!" Sailor Lead Crow exclaimed before deflecting the power.
"No!" Jedda yelled, looking on in horror as both Sailor Aluminum Siren and Sailor Lead Crow both laughed as they vanished with Rick in their grasp.
She felt hot tears fall down her face. "No, Rick."
"Rick and those girls are gone!" Mandrake exclaimed.
"Rick. Rick!" Flash cried out in fear, worry and despair.
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Mamoru looked on in shock by the outcome of the battle. He wished he had been there to help Usagi and the others against those two. Then again, they nearly succeeded in destroying a handful of the Sailor Guardians. If they could do that, he could have been destroyed as well, even if he was protecting his lover and the others. He sighed sadly.
"The intruders are gone!" Luna announced.
"Where did they take Rick?" Artemis asked.
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
April looked around, doing all that she could to keep her emotions in check. She even tried thinking positive in a seemingly negative situation.
I hope Rick is okay. April thought. He'll be okay. He has to be.
"Rick Gordon is strong." Diana stated. "He'll be okay."
"Yeah, he has to be!" Kshin exclaimed.
"Yeah. It's going to be okay." Chibiusa nodded in agreement.
"All we can do for now is locate Rick's whereabouts and figure out our next plan." Mamoru glanced at the others.
April nodded in agreement. She knew her brother would be okay somehow but she wasn't sure what would become of him if he survived this.
"My," Sailor Aluminum Siren smirked upon seeing the sight of the mansion, "this is such a lovely mansion."
Then she feigned an awe tone, "It is such a shame that we have to wreck it to get what we came here for."
Sailor Lead Crow scoffed in annoyance. "We're not here for sight seeing you know!"
Siren looked over at her partner and nodded. "Of course. I know that."
They both looked in the window as she gave a smirk. "We are here for Rick Gordon and his powers."
"Along with the Sailor Crystals," Sailor Lead Crow added, "the true star seeds."
I liked the chemistry that both Sailor Aluminum Siren and Sailor Lead Crow had in the anime. As this story is a mish mash of both the anime and the manga, this is intended to show their chemistry while going after their targets.
"Not a chance!" Hotaru exclaimed. "You're not touching Rick!"
She stared in awe as the young Guardian unleashed her attack. "Silence Wall!"
The attack blocks both Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow and caused the both of them to fall to the floor.
You can see how Hotaru is determined to protect Rick, someone who she is rather fond of. This isn't the last scene you see of Hotaru's fondness of Rick.
" That's not going to happen!" everyone in the area heard Seiya shout. They looked to see that Seiya, Yaten and Taiki arrived at the scene.
" You took long enough." Flash scoffed.
" Healer Star Power…" Yaten called out.
" Fighter Star Power…" Seiya called out.
" Maker Star Power…" Taiki called out.
" Make Up!"
Jedda looked on in surprise as she saw those three transform into the Sailor Starlights. Somehow, she shouldn't really be surprised at this point as they were here for a purpose.
" Those forms!" LJ exclaimed in surprise.
" Those three are indeed the Sailor Starlights!" Flash added.
The Defenders of the Earth don't have the same ability to sense who people are unlike the Sailor Guardians which explains why they are surprised by seeing this. Maybe Mandrake might have known something or Jedda. If so, they wouldn't have told anyone prior.
"Well then, you should do the honorable thing." Mandrake replied as he got out his cane and the Phantom stood next to him. "Besides, you two have overstayed your welcome and I'm going to have to ask you both to leave!"
The Phantom touched Mandrake's cane. "By jungle law, the ghost who walks calls forth the power of ten tigers!"
Everyone looked on in surprise as the tigers emerged from the cane and were hitting both Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow.
" Agh!" Sailor Lead Crow shouted, taking the hits. "That was a cheap shot!"
This is the shout out to the episode "Torn Space" in which the Phantom and Mandrake did the same attack to ward off Graviton but with similar results.
Sailor Aluminum Siren unleashed a huge amount of energy which surrounded both Ami and Makoto, strangling them in the process.
"Ami, no!" Rick exclaimed in shock.
"Mako!" Usagi cried.
"World Shaking!"
Aluminum Siren deflected the attack, bringing everyone by surprise. Then she threw both Haruka and Michiru down to the ground.
"Uranus!" Setsuna exclaimed.
"Neptune!" Hotaru added.
"No way." Michiru groaned, slowly getting up.
"She deflected my attack." Haruka stated in shock.
"Now it's my turn!" Sailor Lead Crow stated before she leapt forward and placed Rei in a headlock.
"Mars!" Minako exclaimed as she rushed forward to try and help her friend.
"Aht Aht Aht!" Lead Crow exclaimed before placing her palm in front of Minako. "Stay right where you are or the Princess of Mars will get it before you do!"
Here's some homage to the manga where Sailor Aluminum Siren actually destroyed Sailors Jupiter and Mercury unlike what happened in this chapter and Sailor Lead Crow dealt with Sailors Mars and Venus in a similar manner. Their idea of blackmailing Rick.
