Part Two : The Appearance of New Senshi, Everyone Fight Together!
Listen to Medal.
"Class! Class!" The music teacher said as he tried to get the class to order. Before taking her seat, Ami cast a glance at Shakaku and Kaichuu, who had taken their seats somewhere behind her. "Ok then, take out your homework," the teacher, Bon Bonsuo, said as he walked down the aisles of desks to collect the homework. Ami grabbed her papers, and she held them out as Mr. Bonsuo took them from her hand.
"Pop quiz," Mr. Bonsuo declared after he had collected all of the homework. That didn't surprise Ami one bit. Bon Bonsuo was a teacher who loved giving oral pop quizzes more then anyone else; a few groans were heard from about the classroom. "Ambini Rosuto," Mr. Bonsuo said, "explain what a crescendo is."
Rosuto, being about Ami's size and very shy, spoke quietly. "The crescendo means that when you play music and come across this sign you play gradually faster," she replied, Mr. Bonsuo frowned at her response, and Rosuto sunk in her chair.
"Can anyone correct Rosuto?" Mr. Bonsuo asked the class, two hands shot up- Ami's and Shakaku's; no one else even dared to risk answering.
"Ami."
"It means to play gradually louder," Ami replied somewhat quietly.
"Shakaku," Mr. Bonsuo said, noticing her hand raised. "Stand up to answer," Mr. Bonsuo said firmly; Shakaku did so. "How does one play a dotted sixteenth note?" The students all turned to look at Shakaku who had an emotionless look on her face, which she tilted slightly to the left.
"Ahh, if that question is too hard, then perhaps-" Mr. Bonsuo started to say, but he was cut off.
"The note is played for three-sixteenths of a beat," Shakaku said.
Mr. Bonsuo did not seem pleased, but he accepted the answer and walked back to his desk, motioning that Shakaku could sit down.
"Show off," Ami could hear Kaichuu whisper to Shakaku.
"Mitsukai Kaichuu," Mr. Bonsuo said as he heard the silver haired girl's voice; Kaichuu looked up instantly. "I'm sure you would like to tell us how to play a dotted thirty-second note, and stand up to answer."
Kaichuu looked at her partner as if asking for help and then she stood up. The class became quiet to listen to Kaichuu's answer. "Um?" Kaichuu began.
"Go on."
"One thirty-second of a beat?"
"Try again."
"One sixteenth?"
Mr. Bonsuo frowned once again. "It is clear that you do not know the dots; sit down. You will have to study them some more in order to pass this class. It would be something to see Shakaku pass this class, and you stay behind," Mr. Bonsuo said at last. "Would any brave students like to tell Kaichuu the correct answer? Ami, always ready to answer questions; stand up."
Ami was shocked that he had called on her when her hand was not raised but she proceeded to stand up. "How is a dotted thirty-second note played?"
"One sixth of a beat," Ami said as she was very sure of herself, and she knew she would get the answer right, so she let out a small smile.
"Almost; very close, but I am afraid that I can not give it to you. Would anyone else care to take a try?" Mr. Bonsuo asked a final time. It was no surprise to see Shakaku's hand raised. No one else would answer the question, seeing as Mizuno Ami, being the smartest student in school, could not even answer the question. "Kashikoi Shakaku," Mr. Bonsuo said, this time a smile appeared as he noticed that she was the only one with her hand raised.
Shakaku stood up, "One eighth of a beat," she said without hesitation, and then she quickly sat back down.
"What did I tell you, more showing off," Kaichuu whispered much quieter then last time.
"Can I speak with you a moment?" Ami asked Shakaku as she caught her walking down the hall to the front doors of the school along with Kaichuu.
"Sure, Ami."
"I was wondering ever since music class this morning... how did you ever become so knowledgeable with music?" Ami asked, shifting her knapsack to her other shoulder. She didn't want to offend Shakaku by saying she was too smart with music, but to Ami's surprise Shakaku gave a slight smile.
"Always wanting to know why others can get a higher mark. Well, to put it simply I am a musician, Ami, and you are not from what I know. Because I play instruments such as the saxophone and the flute, I need to know all about what I am doing, and studying music is a hobby of mine, as I'm sure swimming is a hobby of yours," Shakaku said.
"Yes, it is," Ami admitted.
"Any more questions? Kaichuu and I really need to head home," Shakaku asked.
Kaichuu? Ami had forgotten that Shakaku's friend was also there but said nothing. "No, that's all. Thank you for answering," Ami said.
"Sure, no problem. I'll see you next music class," Shakaku said.
"Bye," Kaichuu added as she and Shakaku turned around and left.
"Don't worry, you're very smart; not being the best at everything means you're healthy," Shakaku called to Ami over her shoulder before she and Kaichuu disappeared behind the doors of the school. Ami nodded to herself, and she continued to where she was off to.
"You can actually understand this?" Minako and Usagi asked together as they peered down at Makoto's homework that she had in front of her.
"No, not really, but it's a class I have to take," Makoto answered as she also looked down at the science book in front of her.
"Oh come on, Makoto, science isn't all bad," Mamoru said from where he sat across from her at the table in Rei's room.
"Easy for you to say, you like science," Makoto said.
"I guess," Mamoru said. "Where's Chibiusa?" he asked Usagi, who was sitting next to him.
"Art school; three days this week. At least she'll be out of my hair," came Usagi’s reply.
"I think it's good that Chibiusa is interested in art," Ami said, putting down her pencil on top of her book.
"Ami-chan’s right," Mamoru added. Usagi’s communicator went off just as Mamoru finished saying his last sentence.
"Sagi!" Luna yelled, the "U" of Usagi’s name had been cut off.
"What is it, Luna?" Usagi said, alarmed.
"You need to get down to Chibiusa's art school... NOW!!!"
"What is it? Tell me!" Usagi shouted back.
"No time now," Luna said in a rushed voice, "tell the others to come down as well."
Usagi shut her communicator, and she looked at everyone else who had already gotten up out of his or her seats.
"Well then, let's go," Rei said as she was the first to dash out of the room followed by Ami, Minako, Makoto, Usagi, and Mamoru.
"Did she say what was going on?" Mamoru asked as he ran along with the other girls.
"Not a word. She said there wasn't enough time," Usagi as she almost tripped on a cat that was crossing her path. The group of six kept on running until they reached Chibiusa's art school.
"Yajuu!" they could hear someone or something yell in a strange voice from inside the building along with other screams and shrieks. The girls all looked at each other and gave a nod.
"Moon Crystal Power, Make up!"
"Jupiter Star Power, Make up!"
"Mercury Star Power, Make up!"
"Mars Star Power, Make up!"
"Venus Star Power, Make up!"
Swirls of light and music filled the area around the art school as the senshi took on their transformations. As they all finished with the transformations, Luna and Artemis came running out of the building followed by a slimy, black creature.
"Fire Soul!" Sailor Mars screamed as the massive sized fireball took its course towards the screaming creature.
"Yajuu!" It yelled as it leapt up into the air while still running after the two cats. The yajuu, when at the highest point of its jump, spread out it's arms, and from its back spurt a pair of black feathered wings.
A low rumbling was heard as two giant fireballs came close to the yajuu, and then trapped it by going around it and engulfing it in the flames.
"AHH!" Another yell was heard as a creature just like the first, but blue, blasted through the wall of the school followed by Sailor Chibimoon, who was attacking it.
"Chibimoon!" Sailor Moon yelled as she saw her future daughter fall, and the yajuu stopped to look at the fallen girl.
"Aquaria Shattering Wave!" A very loud scream was heard as a very tall wave came crashing down on the creature, giving Sailor Chibimoon time to get up and run to join the other senshi and Tuxedo Kamen. The yajuu rose from the ground and looked behind it. For the first time the group of senshi noticed two other girls standing behind the monster.
"I'll get you, senshi," the yajuu hissed at the two girls.
"Senshi?" Sailor Jupiter asked as she turned to the others.
"I'm afraid so," Artemis spoke up.
"You'll have no chance of getting us," the taller of the two senshi said to the creature in front of her. Sailors Mars took a closer look at the two girls and gasped to herself. The tallest of the senshi was dressed in a black and red fuku with matching black eyes and hair, and there was a strange fire-like quality to her eyes. The shorter senshi was dressed in silver and blue with matching silver hair and blue eyes.
"Sent forth with the blazing fires of the constellation Phoenix, I am Sailor Phoenix, and with a raging fire I enter the battle scene," the taller senshi said.
"The constellation Aquarius sends its powerful waves onto this world, and with that power, I am Sailor Aquaria, entering the battle scene with the mighty ocean," the silver senshi said.
Sailor Mars remained quiet as she became aware of the dragon at the tall senshi's feet. My vision Mars thought immediately, but just like the vision had told her to, she said nothing.
The two yajuus stood next to each other, the black one facing the senshi, and the blue one facing the two girls and the dragon.
"Who are they?" Tuxedo Kamen asked. No one thought of an answer before the black yajuu rose into the air and flew towards the group with amazing speed.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Sailor Mercury yelled, throwing her attack before the yajuu had another chance to attack the senshi.
"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" Sailor Moon screamed after Sailor Mercury, destroying the monster with her attack.
"Yajuu..." The blue yajuu said as it saw its partner destroyed by Sailor Moon's attack.
"You'll be with your friend shortly," Sailor Phoenix said as she fixed her eyes on the creature before her.
"Senshi brat," the yajuu said as it crouched back to get a good shot at Phoenix. The creature drew itself back with a snarl, and then it jumped at the senshi who tilted her head up to look at it and Sailor Aquaria dodged and ran along with the dragon that flew away. As the yajuu came down on the senshi, a red rose flew by with a whoosh! That startled the creature, and made him draw back.
"You were always the protector, Tuxedo Kamen," Sailor Phoenix said as she turned to see Tuxedo Kamen with his arm still in the throwing position. The senshi turned to see Tuxedo Kamen.
From where Sailor Aquaria and the dragon stood, they too saw what Sailor Phoenix was talking about. "She knew it was coming, Hades," Sailor Aquaria said.
"Yes, she did," the dragon spoke, and everyone turned to him.
"Yajuu!" the monster yelled as it went for another go.
"Twisting Flame Encounter!" Sailor Phoenix yelled as she set two large fireballs at the creature.
"Aquaria Tsunami!" Sailor Aquaria yelled out at the same time as Sailor Phoenix.
The attacks sped towards the yajuu, making one blow at a time.
"Senshi!" the yajuu screamed in horror as its body began to dissolve and disappear leaving nothing but a few drops of blue oil.
"Watch out for more yajuus," Sailor Aquaria said as she made her leave along with the other two.
"Wait!" Sailor Chibimoon yelled but it was too late; the other two senshi were gone.
"Here we go again," Sailor Venus said with a sigh, and the others nodded in agreement.
