Uranus curled her lip disdainfully. “First of all, I’m not a ‘witch’. Secondly…” she smirked. “You’re on…”
“Don’t…” Neptune started in protest, but Uranus cut her off.
“Let that girl go,” the tall Sailor Scout commanded, pointing at Toya. “She has nothing to do with any of this, and shouldn’t be involved…”
“Mercury said there was something strange about her… and he did too,” Neptune said in a low voice, glancing at Kitakawa.
“Well she’s not exactly doing much at the moment,” Uranus replied with a shrug. “Therefore she’s an innocent, and I won’t see her get hurt…”
Mars and Jupiter continued to monitor the situation from their place further away, both remaining silent. It was clear there was much more to this new ‘threat’ than met the eye.

Kitakawa smirked and readied himself for a battle with the tall and, from what he could see, athletic blonde Sailor Senshi. Not only because his duel was accepted, but because several hints were given away in the last few moments. The Sailor Senshi did indeed have some form of justice in their minds. Carrying innocent people off so they wouldn't get hurt. There's something compassionate. Not everyone would have been so considerate of another.
Also, The other unknown Sailor Senshi, the aqua-marine haired one, seemed to have some sort of feeling for the blonde. It wasn't Sailor Mercury who the blonde stood so close to. It wasn't Mercury who protested against the duel. She was more of an outsider to these two than she was a teamplayer. This could prove to be useful information for the future. Kitakawa was confident in this fight. There was no way he would lose a one-on-one duel with a drywalker, not even a Sailor Senshi. Not if they didn't have abilities that froze water.

“So are we going to do this thing or what?” Uranus enquired, sending Mercury and Neptune off to stand with Mars and Jupiter, holding Toya between them.
“I don’t like this one bit,” Neptune murmured to the others, her brow furrowing with deep concern.
“Don’t worry… I… have an idea…” Mercury replied in a soft voice, her visor still scanning their ‘enemy’. “It’s sort of sneaky though…”
“Sneaky? Mercury’s being sneaky?” Jupiter smirked. “I like the sounds of this… What’s the idea?”
Uranus meanwhile was holding her stance, getting ready for the fight. She reached to her side, clasping onto her sword… her ‘talisman’… It was now or never… little warning seemed to be the best bet… “Space sword blaster!”

Kitakawa noticed the hand clutching the sword at the Senshi's side, and anticipated an attack from it. Never underestimate the enemy, always expect the unexpected. He turned away from the blast, but failed to pull his arm back in time, and it was cut clean off by the attack. It fell to the ground, and as soon as it hit, the fell apart in a mass of water, splashing over the pier. Kitakawa growled, holding the end of his severed arm with his other arm. He then started grinning, as a wave of water rose up from the side, washing over the bluehaired man and as it subsided, Kitakawa had both arms again. "It'll take more than your butter knife to take me down."

“Crap…” Uranus muttered, narrowing her eyes.
“Ok… plan sounds good, Merc,” Jupiter murmured in the background. “How long do we wait?”
“Give it a moment… Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus may arrive soon…” Mercury replied, keeping a close eye on the fight. Things were going to get very interesting…
*****
Meanwhile, back in the city, Illyria Black was slowly making her way home. It was always a lonely walk, but not one she minded usually… Although she had been feeling oddly unwell since she’d left the Crown, even more so at that moment in time…
“Ugh…” she uttered, closing her eyes and suddenly collapsing to the ground, raising a hand to the searing pain that was shooting through her forehead. “What the hell is this?”
“Are you all right?” a small voice asked.
Illyria opened her eyes to see a little dark grey cat sitting in front of her, a crescent moon on it’s head. “Did you just speak…?” she said, blinking as the pain cut in more.
“Oh dear…” the voice said. “I think I know what the problem is,”
“What problem? Who is saying… cats can’t bloody talk!” Illyria exclaimed, but her vision was beginning to blur and she could no longer make out what was in front of her before she blacked out completely…

The bluehaired man smirked, knowing this was a setback the Sailor Senshi facing him hadn't expected. 'Expect the unexpected.' Kitakawa thought. 'You don't stand a chance against me with an attitude like that.' He didn't share this information with the blonde though. Kitakawa suddenly rushed forward, extending his arm to swing at Sailor Uranus, hoping to connect his fist with her face. Unlike him, she'd have to deal with the fight the way it was. If she really was what she claimed to be, she'd be able to dodge or block, and perhaps even counter what he threw at her. If not, well, in that case, this fight was over already.

"What's going on here!" Toya screamed. " Who are you, what's going on here, and how did this happen." Toya fell on the groundshaking the grasp of the two sailor suited women. " Can I go now. This obviously dosen't concern me anymore." Toya started to cry. Again lossing controll of her emotions. ' I want to die! Just for once I wish I could be with the people who hate me the most.' " Kitakawa, I hope turn have to live on the land forever............" She wanted to say more but nothing came to her mind. ' I wish I could just freeze everything.' She stood, shaking the others off. She stuck he r staff into the ground, as power coarsed thru her. " Incranosa" 'Every thing around her froze, It woulden't last long but maybe she could get away afer she got her revenge.'

Kitakawa suddenly jerked his head towards Toya, growling at her. "NO INTERVENING!" A large wave of water washed over the girl, and the two Sailor Senshi at her side. The freezing attack combined with the ocean water encapsulated the three in a solid block of ice, stopping the attack from spreading any further. The bluehaired guy turned back to Sailor Uranus, grinning. "I hope this will teach any others to meddle with a duel." He spoke loud enough for both Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter to hear it, as well as Sailor Neptune.

Sailor Uranus glared at him. “Why you dirty little s…” she trailed off, lunging towards him.
In the background, Sailor Mars was at work melting the ice in order to free the others.
“This guy is really beginning to piss me off,” Jupiter growled, narrowing her eyes. “When can the plan go ahead?”
Mercury shivered, shaking her head. “I’m not sure about it now… that was unexpected and he still saw it coming,” she murmured.
“Well we have to do something,” Mars replied angrily. “We can’t let him get away with this,”
"I know..." Mercury replied, frowning. "I know..."
*****
Illyria opened her eyes slowly, groaning. “Uugh, what…” she trailed off, her eyes widening. “Where am I?”
She had been expecting to wake up in her room, but she wasn’t there… This was the bed of someone else she was lying in, it seemed…
“Good, you’re awake,” said a male voice.
Illyria strained to see who had spoken, the pain in her head still throbbing. “Who the hell are you?”
“Mamoru Chiba,” the man replied, smiling. “Uuh, I looked through your things to find out what your name was, hope you don’t mind, Illyria,”
Illyria stared at him. “How did I get here? One minute I was in the street, then I had this huge headache, and a cat was talking to me, which is just ridiculous, I must have be hallucinating, and…” she trailed off, realising she was babbling.
“Yes, I found you,” said a female voice, and the little cat she had seen before leapt up onto the bed. “I told Mamoru what had happened and he came and collected you. I’m Luna,”
“Holy… mother of god…” Illyria breathed, putting her hand to her head as a sudden shock of pain ran through it. “What’s wrong with my head?”
Mamoru held up a mirror for her to look into. “See for yourself.”
Illyria stared at her reflection, her eyes focusing on what was glowing on her forehead… “What the hell is that?!”
“That, my friend, is the Earth Symbol,” Luna replied. “You are Sailor Earth…”

Kitakawa saw Sailor Uranus coming and prepared to block her attack, but he hadn't anticipated the blonde to be as strong as she was. He crossed his arms in front of him, taking the hit with them, but it pushed him backwards, and he had to shift his foot to keep from falling backwards. He didn't mind though. He swiftly let the foot fly forward again, aiming for the girl's midsection with it. He was starting to get into the mood. Because of his specialty, it had been ages since he had been in a real duel. He had grown detached from the feeling of adrenaline and pain. And now, this odd feeling came back to him, and it felt wonderful.

Sailor Uranus was ever quick in her reaction, grabbing Kitakawa’s foot and pulling him towards her forcefully and landing a rather hard punch to his face. “Like that do ya?!” she snarled, shoving him backwards with another punch to his stomach.
Jupiter cheered. “You go girl!”
Mercury still had her visor up, continuing to scan Kitakawa closely. She just needed the right moment…
***
“Sailor Earth?” Illyria gaped at the talking cat in shock. “Who is that?”
“A Sailor Senshi, a soldier, born to defend the earth from evil, vicious attacks,” Luna explained calmly. “We never actually thought a Sailor Earth existed… well, there is one, but he doesn’t go by that name, nor is he a “true” Sailor Senshi,” she added, lifting her paw to point at Mamoru. “He is the ‘designated’ defender of Earth, the prince… Prince Endymion. You are in fact the Princess of Earth, his sister.”
“Hey little sis,” Mamoru said, grinning in amusement at Illyria’s reaction.
“This is insane… I have to go,” Illyria said, standing up to leave, but the pain in her head was saying otherwise and she sat straight back down again. “Aah crap…”
“It will subside soon,” Luna said reassuringly. “But meanwhile…” she stepped back, suddenly doing an amazing looking back-flip.
“Holy hell,” Illyria murmured, watching in awe as the cat landed back on the bed, an odd little pen type thing dropping beside to her. “What’s that?”
“A transformation pen,” Luna replied, nudging it towards the girl. “Go on… take it. It’s yours. You use it to become Sailor Earth,”
Against her better judgement, Illyria picked up the pen and studied it closely. “It looks like a miniature scythe, a really elaborate one, heh,”
“Say: “Earth Crystal Power”,” Luna instructed gently, well aware that the girl was not exactly big on trust. “See what happens,”
Curiosity getting the better of her, Illyria held up the mini scythe, and did as she was told. “Earth Crystal Power!” she exclaimed, feeling a bit ridiculous, but no sooner had she said it, when an incredible sensation began to run through her. “Wh-what’s happening?!” she cried in scared confusion.
Mamoru and Luna moved back, watching her transformation take place. Gone was her jet black attire and loose hair. Instead she was wearing a black skirt, a white top with dark green trimmings, and a pair of long black boots. Her long, green streaked hair had become a plait, running down her back. Her scythe had grown to full length, and she was holding it tightly in her hand.
“And here she is…” Luna murmured.
Sailor Earth let out a gasp. “What the hell?!”
Mamoru smirked. “Welcome to the Sailor Senshi family.”

Kitakawa hadn't been prepared for the Sailor Senshi's formidable agility and skill in hand-to-hand battle, and was taken by surprise when he got punched in the face. He tried to push away from her, to gain some breathing time and a little distance, but after failing to do so, and seeing a flow to his stomach coming in close, he decided to go for the less fair, but more effective way to fight. The Atlantean way. He liquified and the punch went straight through him. His liquid face smirked as he strained the molecules of his torso, not letting go of the arm that was now stuck in him.
He raised his arm and hit the girl square in the face. Though liquid, it connected like a rock, before falling apart and ending up on the ground of the pier. Then Kitakawa fell apart completely, before reappearing a few feet away from the brawny blonde. "You're a worthy opponent. You have remarkable skills and strength." Should he fail in his mission, Kora would surely have a great time playing with this one.

“Uranus!” Neptune called out, her voice thick with concern. She needn’t have worried too much, however… Sailor Uranus was a tough one to beat…
Uranus shook her head, recovering from the stun of the punch. “Nice of you to notice,” she snapped back. “But so much for your “fair fight”, that was a right sneaky little move…” her eyes narrowed. “Cowardly, even… Why don’t you fight like a real man instead of turning into liquid when you know you can’t win?”
“That’s telling him!” Jupiter called out, thumping her fist into her hand. “Let me at him! I’ll kick his scrawny watery backside!”
“Not just yet… wait a moment…” Mercury said quietly. Soon…
***
Sailor Earth stared at her reflection. “Ooh, jeeeez… this is nothing like I would ever wear, a nasty fashion piece if I ever saw one!”
“No time for thinking like that,” Luna replied, urgency emerging in her tone. “Your fellow Scouts need help,”
Sailor Earth made a face. “What can I do?”
“It’ll come to you… Now, come on, we don’t have much time,” Luna was already bounding out of the door before she’d even finished her sentence.
“You’d better do as she says,” Mamoru said in a mock warning tone. “She’s not pleasant when she’s angry,”
“Aren’t you coming?” Illyria asked him, arching her eyebrow as she studied him more closely. She had a brother…?
“I’ll hang back, just in case,” he replied with a shrug. “But I think the others might be interested in a new helper,” he winked. “Now go on…” he said, pushing her through the door.
Sailor Earth shook her head, following Luna out of the flat and off down the street, still holding her scythe in her hand. This had to be a dream… Otherwise, what the hell had she gotten herself into?

The bluehaired Atlantean smiled at the blonde Sailor Senshi. "I'm not a man. I'm an Atlantean. I do not abide by standards created by drywalkers." He liquified for a moment, shifting, before solidifying again. "Noone said anything about this duel being fair. All that's been said is that it's a duel. No external players. Just you and me. Liquifying or using weapons were never rules nor were they restrictions, now were they?" After all, it was only fair that, being in a disadvantage, such as fighting an armed person, was rewarded with an advantage, such as being able to liquify. "I'm beginning to enjoy myself, to be honest. You got me in the jaw there, and it hurt. But I don't regard that as a bad thing at all." He raised his hands again, once again stirring up the water to become even more violent. "What do you say we add a little handicap?"
Without warning, cracks and tears began to form in the asphalt of the pier. The water was slamming into it with such force that it wouldn't take long before the pier would break at its starting point, and float about in the harbour. Though asphalt was heavier than water, and therefor would sink instantly, Kitakawa had the ability to make it float. He smirked. "Are you up to a factor that makes this duel even more enjoyable than it is already, or do you not have the stomach for it?" That Sailor Neptune person was starting to become a bit of a nuisance. Uranus was strong and bold, and ready to take on any challenge. It was Neptune who held her back when the going got tough. Neptune ...

“I’m up to any challenge you can throw, you little freak!” Uranus retorted angrily, clenching her fists. “Bring it on!”
“No…” Neptune murmured, moving forward, but Jupiter held her back.
“Don’t, it’ll just make things worse,” the younger Senshi said quickly.
“Uranus and I are a team,” Neptune replied quietly. “I have to help her,”
“I think it would be in her best interests if you let her do this alone, actually,” Mercury said, pursing her lips as a new thought struck her. Sailor Moon and Venus had said they were on their way… so where on earth were they?!
***
“Oh bloody hell, where are we going?!” Sailor Earth exclaimed, trying to keep up with Luna as the cat tore through the streets, heading towards the harbour. “These kinky boots weren’t made for running, you know!”
“We’re almost there, is your past coming to you yet?” Luna replied, keeping her pace.
“It, well…” Sailor Earth trailed off, a realisation suddenly dawning on her. “Yes. Yes, it is, oh my god…”
“It seems to have affected you differently than it did the others,” Luna observed, slowing down to run alongside the Sailor Scout. “But not to worry. Everything will be ok. Now… come on… You’ll find those boots are easier to run in than you think…”
Sailor Earth nodded, feeling an odd wave of power rush through her. She remembered it all… Everything… It was incredible… but now the urgency of the situation was pushing her forward. She had people, possible friends, to save…
