Just Normal Girls

A/N: I am really pissed at FFNet. Not only do they not email me when I get any sorta update, making me miss my girlfriend's messages, but they also removed text from my last chapter. Ruining the best joke, and the best moment of the chapter. For the record, I wrote that pi was an extremely long decimal sequence, and Ukyo's final attack is Giga Drill Break/Breaker (whatever you prefer).

Chapter 13: This BLEEP just got real

Cyan and Callisto stood still, waiting for Sakura's next move.

"Why Sakura? Why cause all of this?" Cyan asked.

"Isn't it obvious? You and your friends have gotten a little too rebellious. The Moderators felt that we needed to get some control over you. What better way than to thin out this pathetic race you call humanity."

"You're a human too you psychotic bitch!" Callisto yelled. She was about to charge forward, but Cyan held her arm out and stopped her.

"Who ever said I was human? Who ever said the people of Cyan and Crimson were human? I was sent here by the Moderators for a reason. To keep our pawns from running from the chessboard. So it's up to you Natsuru, you can leave this little gang of yours, and hunt down the other Red Kampfer, or..." A pike appeared in Sakura's hands.

"You underestimate me, Kaede. If you fight me, you're gonna get really effed up." Cyan said, orbs of blue fire appearing in her hands.

Kaede just laughed as Cyan charged forward. She was about to punch Sakura with a fiery fist, when she ducked out from under her. Her pike started glowing and she ran Natsuru through with it. There was a flash of light, and a new figure was thrown against a building.

Callisto ran over to whoever was attacked. It was a boy. She turned his body over to see a tall boy with short blue hair and bright blue eyes. He was only wearing a white button up and jeans. It didn't take her long to find out who it was.

"Natsuru? Is that you?"

"Pretty disappointed, eh?" he joked. He then coughed and blood spilled from his mouth.

"Just please hang on, we'll get you better right away." she said, tears streaming down her face.

"You know, you're really cute when you cry. Can you do me a favor and waste her for me? I don't think I can go senshi right now." And with that, he passed out. Callisto got up slowly and summoned her naginata, she then turned to Sakura who still had a smug grin plastered on her face.

"Don't look so upset, he would've just broken your heart like he did to me and the other girls that wanted him."

"I loved her. I was ready to spend my life with her. And now, you come and try to justify yourself for hurting my girl. I'll kill you. Right here. Right now. CALLISTO RAZOR FLASH!"

Callisto slashed a thousand times with her naginata, but Sakura seemed to block all of them with her pike. She stopped for about half a second to catch her breath, but it was half a second of her being exposed. Sakura went to town with her pike and slashed at her at all possible angles. Gashes appeared all over her body. The light purple glow in her eyes were starting to fade.

"Why don't you just quit now? If you surrender now, you may have time to get your whipping boy to a hospital. The hospital my accomplice Herb was in was nice. That is before your friends killed her."

"Shut up. Don't try and lure me into some false sense of guilt. I'm not going to lose. Sailor Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, Saturn, Pluto, Io, Ganymede, Umbriel, and Crimson and Cyan. Every member of the Sailor Senshi believes in me. The me that my lover believes in, the me that I believe in, isn't ever going to lose to the likes of YOU!" Callisto shot thousands of purple energy blades out of her arms, slicing through Sakura's skin and making her drop her pike.

"I am Sailor Callisto, in the name of my friends, I will punish you! Finishing Move! CALLISTO BLADE STORM!" Six more Naginata appeared around Callisto and all attacked Sakura with the same precision she did.

Sakura then dropped to her knees and starting vomiting blood. She laughed a low laugh as Callisto stood over her.

"Well, I see Natsuru's in good hands. She would've been better off with me though."

"Not that it matters, you'll be dead soon anyway."

"Don't count on it."

"What do you mean?" Callisto asked. She was then shocked as Sakura started fading.

"I'm being recalled back to the Moderators. It's a failsafe they created. Now that they know I can't control the Kampfer here, they'll do what's necessary for the proxy wars."

"What is necessary?"

"They'll destroy this planet and move on to the next. By killing me, you've just doomed your entire race. I hope your little dress up game was worth it." Sakura started laughing but was immediately silenced when she faded away completely.

Callisto dropped her staff and ran over to Natsuru as fast as she could.

"Natsuru, Natsuru speak to me!"

"Ugh..."

"Good enough. We'll get you to Moon and she'll heal you just fine. Just please hang on!" she said as she held Natsuru in her arms and jumped off.

Change of Scene

It took Crimson several huge jumps to get up to the top of the colossal tower. On the top of the tower was a giant helipad with Saffron standing in the center, holding the Kinjakan. She walked forward until she was within earshot of him.

"You come alone?" he asked.

"Just as you asked."she replied.

"You have the Gekkaja?"

"Show that my mom is alright first."

"Very well." Saffron snapped his fingers and two of his birdmen flew into view holding an unconscious Charon by the arms. Her red katana strapped to her back.

"I want my mom's safety ensured, or no deal."

"I'm a god of my word. Let her go men." Saffron said.

"Yes sir!" They both replied. They dropped Charon and she fell lifelessly off the side of the tower. Crimson could only watch in silent horror as her mother seemingly fell to her death.

"You were in no position to bargain with someone like me, you foolish landling female. I am a god. And as a god, you will follow every command I give you. And as god, I command you to return my Gekkaja NOW!"

In one giant red blur, Crimson appeared in front of Saffron and slashed at him with her Ice Staff. Saffron managed to block it and sparks formed when the two weapons collided. Jets of flame and shards of ice also flew off the staffs in random directions. Crimson brought the staff back and swung it again with all her strength. The same result happened.

Saffron jumped into the air and started flying, but Crimson was right behind him. She jumped into the air and yelled, "Arctic Storm!"

Saffron launched the bladed ring on the end of the Kinjakan at Crimson. It shattered the ice spears shot at him and Crimson jumped out of the way just in time for the ring to leave a burning wound in her ribcage. This knocked her back and she clutched her side as it was searing with pain.

Saffron laughed as she laid there.

"So this is the one who stole the Gekkaja from me. You're pathetic. You and every landling like you. I'm going to finish this."

Saffron shot a fireball out of his hand and it made a beeline straight for Crimson. She saw the fireball coming and time seemed to slow down all around her.

'Well mom, I failed. I'll be seeing you soon. Shampoo, Ukyo, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I took both of you for granted. I'm sorry...I couldn't be a better man.' she thought.

"Don't give up yet Ranchan!" came a voice. Crimson opened her eyes and saw Ganymede standing between her and Saffron. She apparently blocked the fireball with her drill.

"Ucchan! You came to help me?"

"Why wouldn't I? I couldn't let one of my girlfriends get hurt like this." Ganymede offered a hand to pull Crimson back up.

"Saffron, he...he killed my mom..."

"No he didn't. Umbriel caught her as she was climbing the tower."

"My mom's alive!"

"Aiyah! Crimson, Umbriel catch Charon for Airen!" said Umbriel who appeared on the far end of the tower with Charon by her side.

"We'll celebrate later Crimson. Right now we got some murdering bastard to get rid of." Ganymede said. During this whole ordeal Saffron was floating above the tower.

"So you have the whole family together. A good opportunity for me to destroy a good chunk of you pathetic landlings and I can continue my ascension. I think this tower will make a decent monument to my divinity."

The four senshi grouped together and unsheathed their respective weapons.

Crimson stepped forward, holding the Ice Staff, "You come into our home, attack our friends, and threaten our very way of life. There's nothing divine about you. When you collaborate with those you love most to protect the innocent, only THEN will you have any divinity. I am not a thief, I am not a landling, and I am NOT pathetic. I am the Princess of the planet Crimson, the wielder of my chosen weapon, the Crimson Ice Staff. In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"

Saffron spun the Kinjakan until it formed a ring of fire in front of him. He then used a fiery fist to punch the ring and he shot straight towards the senshi.

Crimson, Ganymede, and Umbriel put their hands together. "No matter what happens, we'll end this together." Ganymede said. "Hai."

Light erupted from where the three lovers' hands joined. "Triple Helix Attack!" they all yelled.

Umbriel started, "Feral" her claws grew out and more claws came out of the other two's hands.

"Ice" Crimson's ice solidified around their hands. "Giga...!" Ganymede's final attack started. "DRILL!" The drill came out of the three's hands. It was a giant drill made of ice, with neko claws lined along the grooves of the drill. "BREAK!"

The Ice Drill came charging to the ring of fire. They collided in the middle of the air high above the top of the tower. The drill and ring spinning with hot and cold air created tornadoes that tore up the top of the tower. Charon flew off the tower again. She saved herself by stabbing her sword into the side of the tower.

The spikes on the drill all broke off the drill, knocking Umbriel back. Crimson and Ganymede used more force against the drill. The Ice on the drill started to melt. Saffron inwardly laughed at their failing final attack. When the ice all chipped away, Ganymede was blocking the ring of fire with her drill alone. Crimson was no where to be found.

"You! Where's the female with the Gekkaja!"

Ganymede just smiled and lurched her drill up. This finally broke the ring of fire that surrounded Saffron and he was momentarily stunned.

"Now Ranchan!"

Saffron was then impaled through the chest from behind by one of Crimson's ice spears. He then froze and shattered into a million pieces. Among the falling bits of ice was Crimson, resting against the Gekkaja for support. Ganymede ran over and embraced the redhead. Just then, Umbriel climbed back up with Charon with her.

"Let's go home guys." Crimson said.

Change of Scene

Ranma was in the hospital. None of the senshi left the battlefield completely unscathed, but Ranma definitely took the most damage. Everyone was gathered around her bedside. Natsuru was in male form and it was the first time any of the senshi saw him like that. Haruhi was savoring the rare moment and had her arms around his neck the entire time.

The biggest thing going on in the room was Usagi arguing with a guy who was apparently her boyfriend. He had short brown hair and a feminine looking face.

"Mamoru, I could have died last night. And you were nowhere to be found."

"I came here as soon as I heard what was going on. Give me a break, Usagi, I'm going to college in Hokkaido. I can't be everywhere at once."

"Would you even be upset if I died?" she asked.

"Of course. If you died, then Crystal Tokyo would cease to exist."

"So you don't care if we love each other, just as long as something gets done at some point in time."

"That's not the point at-"

"We're through Mamoru. You can keep being Tuxedo Kamen, but as far as I know, you'll have no place by my side at the throne."

Mamoru just looked down in sadness and left.

"Seriously? That's Tuxedo Kamen? The pansy ass that just chucks roses?" Natsuru asked.

"We couldn't believe it either." Ami said.

"Usagi, why did you break up with him? I thought you really loved Mamoru?" Minako asked.

"To be honest, I don't think I knew what love really was until I met Ranma, Shampoo and Ukyo. What I had for Mamoru was an obsession, and I think it's time I grew up and moved on."

"That's a very mature thing to say Princess." Setsuna said.

"So, Haruhi, what were you saying about Sakura's last words?" Rei asked.

"Right. Well, basically, she said that because I killed her, a signal went to the Moderators and they'll try to destroy Earth now. We can stop them, right?"

"Absolutely." Natsuru said, putting his arm around his girlfriend's shoulder.

Ukyo then exclaimed, "As long as we stand united, we can't possibly lose!"

End of Chapter 13: Well, that's the end of Book 1. Don't worry, that doesn't mean I'm taking some sort of break. I'll get started on book 2 right away. In the meantime, keep donating to the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund so anime doesn't become extinct.
