CHAPTER 10: THE BLOODY BATTLE
****************************************************************************

	Riki and Hickok were disoriented to say the least, as they came out
of their first teleportation ever.  They shook out their heads and looked 
around.  "Where are we?" Riki whispered to Anne.

	"We're in the Supiriors hanger bay," Anne replied, "They store a lot
of their jet craft here.  This should be a good place for a distraction."

	All three of them turned at the sudden intake of breath behind them
and they saw a man about Hickoks size gasp as he saw the three intruders.
Anne rushed forward and held him by the shoulders.  Her eyes glowed and the
man passed out as all of his energy was sucked out of him.  "I'll go find a
few more people or mutants to drain and then I'll go back for the others.
You two get to work on that distraction."

	"Any ideas on how to acomplish that?" Riki asked Hickok.

	"Yep, and pard is it a dozey."

	A few seconds later.....

	Hickok, dressed in the mans uniform walked over to one of the planes
as if inspecting it and covertly pulled out the stick of dynamite that he
had with him.  He walked up to the nearest planes engine exaust port, lit
the dynamites fuse (the lighter came with the backpack of dynamite) and
stuffed it in.  Then he ran as fast as he could away from the plane.  The
nearby Supirior, not expecting any real trouble, turned towards Hickok and
asked, "Where are you...."

	That was all he got out before the plane exploded.  The force of the
blast knocked everyone in range into the air.  Hickok jumped and ducked
behind a large stack of crates.  An unexpected (but again, not unwelcome)
side effect of his plan, was that when the plane he had put the stick of
dynamite in had exploded, it had taken out the ones next to it, and they had
taken out the ones next to them, and so on and so on, until the whole hanger
bay was a collection of twisted and burning aircraft.  "Let's get out of
here," Riki yelled as he coughed from the smoke, "I don't think our
distraction will last too long if we stay in here."

	The two Warriors ran outside and drew their Gaskells.  They fired on
every mutant, human and Supirior who tried to attack them.  Hickok sighted
and shot a beam that split a Supiriors head in half.  Riki shot off the leg
of a frog-like mutant.  They both shot a man in a very delicate area.  Riki
drew his sword as the enemy came closer and  his arm was a blur as he sliced
limbs from every foe he faced.

	A mutant tried to hit him with a pipe and he parried it.  Then he
brought his sword in a slash across his foes belly.  The mutant put his
hands over his stomach to stop his internal organs from spilling out.  The
slice to the throat was anti-climactic.  Riki checked his mental clock.  This
whole battle had taken place in less then fifty seconds.

	Back in the Prime Complex............

	"I don't believe it," Mars exclaimed, "Primator is a computer?"

	"I AM MUCH MORE THAN A SIMPLE COMPUTER, STUPID FOOL," Primator
snarled angrily, "I AM THE RESULT OF AN ARTIFICAL INTELIGENCE PROGRAM, THAT
WAS MUCH MORE SUCESSFUL THAN THOUGHT POSSIBLE.  I AM SELF AWARE.  I CAN PLAN.
I *THINK*.  I HAVE IMAGINATION."

	The three Senshi stood stunned by what they had heard.  Venus
regained her voice first and asked, "Is that why your trying to take over the
world?"

	"IN PART.  THE MAIN REASON IS BECAUSE OF MY SUPIRIORITY TO ALL
LIFEFORMS ON THE PLANET.... INCLUDING YOU THREE AND YOUR TWO FRIENDS.  OH
YES, I KNOW ALL ABOUT THEM AND YOUR PLANS TO DESTROY MY TIME ADJUSTER.  I
ALSO KNOW ABOUT YOUR TWO WARRIOR FRIENDS AND THEIR 'DISTRACTION'."

	"If that's so," Jupiter roared, "then why didn't you just stop us
before we escaped?"

	"IT AMUSED ME TO SEE HOW WELL YOU WOULD DO AGAINST MY ARMY.  ALSO, IT
HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF DESTROYING A FOE
MYSELF. AS FOR YOUR FRIENDS GOING AFTER MY MACHINE, CERTAIN STEPS ARE BEING
TAKEN TO STOP THEM."

	In the sub-basment of the Prime Complex.......

	Pluto and Anne moved along silently as they aproched the area that
stored the Time Adjuster.  The machine was an amalgamation between organic
and inorganic looking materials.  Glass globes, spread out at different
parts of the machine, held liquids of all different colors.  At the front
end was a large satalite-type object.  "There it is," Anne whispered, "let's
smash this thing."

	"I think not," a voice behind them said calmly.

	The two whipped around and saw the Mark 2 Supirior standing behind
them and he was surrounded by a platoon of regular Supiriors.  The Sailor
and alien went into battle stances and prepaired to face off.  "Which one's
do you want?" Anne asked.

	"I have a score to settle with the big one," Pluto replied, " do you
think you can handle the others?  It will take all my power to battle him."

	"About twenty to one?  That sounds about even."

	"You relize of course alien," P-001 taunted, "that if you are hit in
the lower abdominal area, your child will be lost."

	Anne's face turned into a snear and she replied, "Then I'll just have
to make sure that none of you hit me there."

	She flung out her hands and shot a pulse wave that shattered several
of the Supiriors.  Pluto powered up the Time Rod and shot a Dead Scream at
P-001.  In an instant replay of their last encounter, the Supirior moved so
fast that the Dead Scream missed and hit a group of Supiriors behind him.
This time however, Pluto dodged the punch the Supirior threw at her and
bashed him over the head with the Time Rod.

	The only response to the blow was a small trickle of clear fluid, that
was probably Supirior "blood", started to fall down P-001s face.
"Impressive," he said, "I see that you are smarter than the average for your
species."

	Anne meanwhile, was destroying Supirior after Supirior.  Every time
she destroyed one however, several more would come to take the fallen ones
place.  "Oh Ail," she thought, "if only you were here.  Your Cardians would
make short work of these true monsters."

	Back up 299 floors..............

	"AHA!" Primator gloated, "YOUR TWO LITTLE COMPATRIOTS ARE NOW LOCKED
IN BATTLE WITH MY MARK 2 SUPIRIOR.  SOON, THEY WILL DIE."

	"DAMN YOU PRIMATOR!" Jupiter shouted as she prepaired a lightning
strike, "SUPREME THUNDER!"

	The blast of lightning struck the screen hard, and did no damage.
The Senshi stood wide eyed and Primators laughter shook the room as he said,
"YOUR LITTLE LIGHNING BOLTS CAN NOT HURT ME.  I AM FULLY INSILATED AGAINST
ELECTICAL OVERLOAD, I CAN WITHSTAND TEMPERATURES OF UP TO 900K, SO YOUR
FIREBALLS ARE USELESS AS WELL, AND I CAN WITHSTAND THE ASSAULT OF OVER FIFTY
GASKELL LAZERS AIMED AT THE EXACT SAME SPOT SIMILTANIOUSLY, SO YOUR LITTLE
LIGHT BEAM IS USELESS TOO.  HOWEVER, SINCE YOU SEEM SO INTENT ON FIGHTING ME
ANYWAY, PERHAPS I SHOULD SHOW YOU WHAT YOU FIGHT FOR."

	The image on the screen changed from one of glowing red eyes to one
of a city.  A city populated by Supiriors.  "THIS," he said, "IS WHAT WILL
BECOME OF A CITY CALLED TOKYO IN AN UNSPECIFIED YEAR IN THE 1990'S.  WITH
THE TIME ADJUSTER I WILL CHANGE ALL THE MAJOR CITIES IN THE WORLD IN
DIFFERENT POINTS IN HISTORY TO ONES POPULATED BY SUPIRIORS, AND THEN I WILL
RULE."

	The Senshi went cold at the images they saw.  They were so engrossed
in the view that they missed the glow of yellow light charging up from
somewhere above Primator and releasing a yellow beam towards Sailor Venus.
Sailor Mars however, saw it and with a shout of "VENUS!  LOOK OUT!" she
pushed her out of the way.

	The beam struck Sailor Mars across the stomach.  It left a large gash
that poured blood.  She collapsed to the ground, her white shirt turning the
same red tint as her dress as her stomach wound spread her life essence over
the floor.  "Mars!" the two Senshi shouted.

	They grabbed their friend as Primator laughed at them and said,
"LEAVING ALREADY?  IT HAD JUST GOTTEN INTERESTING.  I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED
WHAT A HUMAN BLEEDING TO DEATH LOOKED LIKE.  HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"

	They went outside the doors and sat Mars up.  "Rei," Jupiter sobbed,
"hang on.  You'll be alright.  I know it."

	"M-M-Mako, M-M-Mina" Mars groaned, "get this bastard for me.  Promise
me."

	Venus stood.  Tears in her eyes, her fists clenched, "I promise," she
said, "We'll get him."

	"Good," Mars said.  Then her eyes rolled back and darkness took her.

	"Rei?" Jupiter asked as she shook her friends form, "Rei?  REI?
REI!"

	Venus's tears brimed and she removed the bow on her chest, "Use this
to stop the blood flow," she said as she tossed it to Jupiter, "We're not
giving up on her yet.  As for me..... I'M GOING TO RIP PRIMATOR APART
CIRCUIT BY CIRCUIT!"

	She ran back into the room before Jupiter could raise a single
complaint.  So Jupiter did as Venus requested.  "Come on Rei," she moaned
through her tears, "pull through.  I know you can."

	In another part of Androxia...........

	Riki sliced upward, removing the hand and face of another Supirior.
Hickok fired several more shots.  One blew out the back of a mutants head.
Another, hit a man right in the eye.  Riki ran over to him panting and said,
"It would be nice if you told me how your great plan involved getting to a
safer location."

	"Actually pard," Hickok replied, " I was thinkin' maybe you could
do that part."

	Oh NO!  Is Sailor Mars dead? (Heh, heh) Well, you'll have to wait a
little bit to find out, because we're going back to our New York group.  Now

and it ain't preaty.  Also, Ail and the Supiriors finds our heros and.... to

CHAPTER 11: ZOINKS!  ZOMBIES!
****************************************************************************

	Ail was mad.  To be more acurate, Ail was FURIOUS.  He took his anger
out on the nearest beings, in this case, the Mark 2 Supirior P-002 and the
Cardian Ey-Se-U.  "We've been searching for three days straight," he ranted,
"and what have we turned up?  NOTHING!  Absolutly, NOTHING!"

	"Don't 'look' at me boss," Ey-Se-U said, "I've been doing all I can
to find that device you want, but having all these eyes is useless if I don't
know where to look."

	"Your anger is unjustified," P-002 calmly stated, "This search may
take quite a while."

	"Yes," Ail growled, "and we'll always have to fend off those damn
Zombies every ten seconds."

	"Fortunatly," P-002 replied, "Supirior circuitry is not edible."

	Ey-Se-U chuckled and quipped, "Doesn't stop 'em from tryin'."

	P-002 sighed and said, "Unfortunatly, that is correct."

	Ail punched his fist at one of the few remaining walls in the city
and it broke on impact. (The wall, not his fist.) He roared at the sky and
also added several curses.  At that minute, both the Mark 2 Supirior and the
Cardian turned to look north.  "I see something," Ey-Se-U said.

	"I hear something," P-002 said.

	Ey-Se-U turned to P-002 and asked, "Does it have to do with gunshots
and an engine for a van?"

	"Yes.  What is the color of the van?"

	"Military green."

	The Supirior turned to Ail and said, "It is the SEAL.  The Warriors
have arrived.  They must have found out about Primators plan and have come
to stop us."

	"Is that so?" Ail asked, as a plan formed in his mind, "I have a plan
then.  They might know where the device we're looking for is.  We'll follow
them for a little bit and if they are just as lost as we are, we'll kill
them.  If not, we'll let them do all the hard work of getting the device and
then we'll take it from them."

	A few minutes earlier and a few miles away......

	Up close, the city was even more horrific.  The fact that night had
fallen, added to the chilling effect.  Every last one of them in the SEAL
could easily imagine monsters lurking in the shadows.  Tuxedo Kamen was
sitting against the left side wall of the SEAL, when a loud "thump" sounded
and he felt the area he was leaning against bounce.  "Hey," he exclaimed,
"What the....."

	Blade identified the forms that had started swarming the SEAL.
"Zombies!" he shouted.

	If the sight of the city had been a bad dream, then the Zombies were
living, breathing, ugly, nightmares.  They were all over six feet in height,
completely emaciated, had grey skin with green blisters spread all over.
Their eyes were an unfocused red, their yellow tapered teeth filling the maw
of their mouths.  Sailor Moon went wide eyed and just looked at them with a
frightened facination.  They climbed over every inch of the outside of the
SEAL and only Geronimos cry of, "Hang on!" put her back in reality.

	Blade gunned the engine and the SEAL leaped forward throwing all the
Zombies on the vehicle off.  It raced to the end of the street and Blade
jerked the wheel hard so the SEAL screched and spun a 180.  Then he flicked
a silver switch marked M.  A metal plate under the front headlights slid
upward and two fifty-caliber machine guns rose into position and fired
automatically.  The bullets from the SEALs machine guns decimated the
attacking Zombies and most of the first wave fell in puddles of their own
dark green fluid.

	The Zombies kept attacking.  Blade then flicked another sliver
switch, this one marked F.  A portion of the front fender lowered, a nozzle
of some kind extended, and a spurt of flame fired, having a range of about
twenty feet.  More of the Zombies fell as they were now beeing burned to
ashes as well as being shot to pieces.

	The Zombies still kept attacking.  Geronimo shook his head and said,
"Some people just can't take a hint."

	"Then let's give them the message loud and clear," Blade replied.

	He turned back to the others and said, "Hold on tight.  We're going
to get shaken up a little bit."

	He flicked another sliver switch, this one marked R.  The middle of
the front grill moved sideways and a Rocket Launcher moved into possition.
The Launcher fired and a Zombie that had actually made it to the SEAL was
blown backwards along with the rocket.  Geronimo quiped, "Look everyone.
Air Zombie."

	The Zombie hit the center of the remaining Zombies and at that moment
the rocket exploded.  A large amount of dust was thrown into the air and no
one in the SEAL dared say a word until it cleared.

	The Zombies were gone.  They were either dead or had run back into
the ruined buildings.  "Okay," Blade said to Timeiand, "Which way?"

	Timeiand chuckled and said in reply, "It's kind of fitting that the
Zombies would have chosen now to attack," he pointed out the front window to
the left, "We have arrived."

	Madison Square Garden was devistated like any other place in New
York, but all of them were suprised at how little damage it had taken.  It
was scortched and burned in many places and a portion of the roof had caved
in but it still had the same basic shape it had when it had been first built.

	"Let's go," Timeiand said as he prepaired to exit the vehicle.

	"Go?" Mercury asked, "Go where?"

	"Into the Garden, and then underground to a secret facility hidden
under the Gardens subway station."

	The group left the SEAL and Blade locked it.  Then they all gathered
around.  "Okay," Blade said, "Now when we enter we do it one at a time and
..." he noticed someone was missing, "Where's Sailor Moon?"

	Sailor Moon was looking at a severed arm that had been blown off a
Zombie with sickened curiosity.  She hadn't planed on looking at it but she
had seen something moving out of the corner of her eye and had turned, in
case it was another Zombie looking for a snack.  She had seen the arm, and
watched as it twitched sporaticaly.  Then her stomach did its impersination
of a gymnastics team, she leaned forward and retched up every bit of food
she had eaten that day.  She felt a strong hand on her shoulder as her belly
kept throwing things back up her throat and out her mouth.  She heard
Blade's voice as he said, "It's okay kid.  We've all been there."

	Eventually she got her gagging under control and the sympathetic
looks she recieved from everyone made her feel better.  Sailor Moon said,
"Sorry.  You must think I'm a real wimp for that."

	"Not at all," Geronimo said, "Just going to New York is pretty brave,
you can't be expected to do much more than that."

	"But you two," she pointed at the Warriors, "are here and don't seem
bothered a bit."

	"Truth be told," Blade replied, "I'm frightened out of my mind."

	Timeiand sighed, "Are we going or not?"

	The group decended into the Garden and at Timeiands directions, went
down a long fight of stairs to the subway station.  Blade came first,
followed by Timeiand, then Tuxedo Kamen, Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, and
Geronimo watching the rear.  At that moment Zombies came from nowhere and
started to attack the group.  "Here we go again," Tux said.

	Blade and Geronimo raised their Dakon II rifles and fired their
fragmentation bullets at the rushing hoard.  The bullets did their job as
they ripped the chests and heads of the Zombies in green sprays of fluid.

	Sailor Moon removed her tiara and tossed it with a cry of, "Moon
Tiara ACTION!"

	The tiara cut into Zombie after Zombie disintergrating them with a
touch.  Mercury called up her powers and crossed her arms over her chest
before flinging them out and shouting, "SHABON SPRAY FREEZING!"

	The mist that Mercury shot, froze the Zombies it hit solid and Tuxedo
Kamen used his cane to shatter them.  "I have a feeling," he thought to
himself, "that a rose in the chest would probably just annoy these things."

	Timeiand fired burst after burst of chronical energy, that also
turned the Zombies into dust.

	The Zombies fell in droves, but their seemingly unending numbers
gave them the ability to keep attacking.  Suddenly, the walls to the groups
side smashed inwards and more Zombies poured through.  The Zombies grabbed
the group of heros and Blade thought, "The odds had to catch up with me
eventually.  I've been beating them so long, I guess it's payback time."

	Sailor Moon paniced.  As the Zombies ran their cold and clammy hands
over her she screamed......

	....and then something unusual happened.

	The Ginzuishou glowed brighter and a pure blast of white light shot
out over the entire area.  The Warriors, Sailor Mercury, and Tuxedo Kamen
were dropped and they stood, uneffected by the light.  The Zombies however
did not get off so easily.  Like vampires in the sun, the light of the
Crystal burned them into small piles of white ashes.  Tuxedo Kamen looked up
and saw that Sailor Moon had removed her broach and now held it high over
her head.  The Zombies they had faced were dead, but Sailor Moon seemed to
have no intentions of stopping.  "Tuxedo Kamen," he heard Timeiands voice
say in his mind, "stop her.  She's trying to kill every Zombie in New York.
If you don't stop her, she'll kill herself in the process."

	Tux nodded and pulled out one of his roses.  "Forgive me," he
whispered.

	He threw the rose and it hit Sailor Moons hand.  She dropped the
broach and it fell to the ground with a clatter.  Then she fell to her knees
and wrapped her arms around herself.  She shook and sobbed.  Mercury and
Tuxedo Kamen ran up to her.  Geronimo joined them but Timeiand grabbed Blade
by the shoulder before he could go over to join the group.  "What are you
doing?" Blade growled, "Usagi needs all the support she can get at this
time."

	"I know," Timeiand replied, "I just want you to know we're almost
there.  She won't be subjected to this horror much longer."

	Tuxedo and Mercury both noticed something different about Moon as
they tried to get her to stop shaking.  Her eyes had lost their happy sparkle
and in its place were two empty pools of despair.  They heard her whispering
softly, "Is this our future?  How could people do this to themselves?  What's
the point of going on?"

	None of them had a good answer.

END CHAPTER 11

NEXT: CHAPTER 12: MEANWHILE.....

	As you've been reading this, you probably think that the next chapter
is the one where we go back to Androxia to see how our other group is doing.
Well, it's not.  For the next chapter we're going back to the Home to see
our two favorite little cats, Luna and Artimis.  They've had it pretty easy
at the Home but not even the Home is safe from danger.  Consider this next
chapter a little intermission before the big finale.  (Plus, I discovered
that if I kept going the way I was I would end with 13 chapters and I don't
want to do THAT.)

CHAPTER 12: MEANWHILE....
****************************************************************************

	"Lynx, Melody," Plato scolded, "You are going to spoil those two.
When their owners get back, their not going to want to leave."

	Lynx (you remember him from chapter 1 don't you?) smiled his small
neddle-like teeth at Plato as he gave Artimis another piece of fish and
said, "Don't worry about it.  It's just nice to have someone here who sees
things from our point of view better."

	Melody just smiled a warm smile as she continued to stroke Luna's
fur.  Melody was a mutant too.  In fact she was a female version of Lynx.
She had the same feline-like features, the same green eyes, almost every
feture the same, except for the obvious places that a female differed from a
male.  She wore a saphire blue dress that clung to her form and hung down to
her ankles.

	Luna should have been in heaven as Melody's expert touch relaxed her.
However, she still couldn't completly relax.  She was very worried about the
Sailor Senshi.  Were they all right?  Were they even still alive?

	She jumped out of Melody's arms and ran off for the wild section.
Artimis saw her go and while reluctant to leave all the yummy fish he had
gotten, ran off after her.  "You don't have to worry about them," Melody
chuckled, "they always do that."

	Luna walked through the tall reeds of grass in contemplation.  She
was scared.  What if they never came back?  Artimis came up next to her and
after a quick check to see if no one was around, asked, "What's wrong?  You
haven't been yourself since they left.  It IS about them isn't it?"

	"I'm worried," Luna replied, "What if they don't come back?  What if
we have to spend the rest of our lives here?"


	"You know it wouldn't be all bad if we had to stay here for the rest
of our lives.  There are worse fates.  We might be better off here then back
at home for all we know."

	Luna snapped at him, "How can you say that?!!  Don't you care about
them at all?!!  Or does a few pieces of fish go that far with you?!!"

	Artimis yelled right back with, "I DO care, and I said that because
I'm trying to stop myself from GOING OUT OF MY MIND WITH WORRY!"

	"Who said that, yes?" they heard someone say, "Someone is here, no?"

	Another mutant came stumbling through the brush and looked around
wildly.  He was the fourth and final mutant that was in the Family.  He was
Gremlin.  He wore only a brown loincloth.  His skin was leathry and gray.
He was five feet ten.  A hawklike head sat on a squat neck.  A thin pointy
nose, tiny circles of flesh for ears, a bald head, and a thin slit for a
mouth, made the facial features of this mutant.  His bright red eyes
flickered left to right nervously (which was normal for him).

	He also had been experimented on by a mad scientist called the
Doktor, who's brain surgury on Gremlin had resulted in his rather original
speech pattern.

	Gremlin looked down and seeing Luna and Artimis said to them, "Silly,
yes?  Cats can not speak, no?"

	He sat down next to Luna and Artimis and said as he scratched both of
their heads, "Should take Blades advice, yes?  Should learn to relax more,
no?"

	Luna shot Artimis an "I'm sorry" look and then decided to herself,
"Maybe he's right for once.  Being worried won't help them get back any
sooner and it'll just make me sick.  I guess I should learn to enjoy what I
have here just in case the worst happens..... but I hope it doesn't come to
that."

	At that moment a small childs scream ripped through the air.  All
three of them turned and raced for the source.  Luna and Artimis
outdistanced Gremlin and reached the area first.  What the two of them saw
shocked them.

	The creature that attacked the child had probably been a raven, but
because of the radiation and chemical weapons released during WW III it had
become a mutate.  It's black feathers seemed to be in a constant state of
molting.  The patches of visible skin were covered with large yellow puss
sores.  Its beak was misshappen and the tip was extremly sharp.  It was
larger than average as well, about the size of Luna and Artimis when they
stood on their hind legs.

	The boy it was attacking beat his hands inefectivly at the mutate.
He had multiple slashes on his arms as the creatures sharp tallons cut into
them.  Artimis growled, "So that's a mutate huh?"

	"Yes," Luna confermed, "We must do something."

	Artimis reared back and leaped into the air.  He slammed into the
mutate and the two of them crashed to the ground, rolling over and over
until Artimis was on top.  He unsheated his claws and was about to stab the
creature in the throat, when the mutate brought its wing around and bashed
it into Artimis's face with an incredible force.

	Artimis flew backward and landed in a heap.  Stars filled his vision
and a small trickle of blood fell from his nose.  Then the mutate took to
the air and cut Artimis's back as it dived down with its tallons extended.
Artimis let out a yelp of pain and saw as the mutate prepaired to make
another pass.  "Looks like this is it," he thought as he shut his eyes.

	Luna jumped onto the mutates back and dug her claws in as deep as she
could get them to go.  Yellow puss mixed with red blood from the wound Luna
inflicted.  The mutate screamed and landed on its back, knocking Luna off.
As the mutate tried to take off again, Luna swiped with her claws and
damaged one of its wings.  The creature roared and Luna and it circled each
other cautiously, each waiting for the other to make the first move.

	Luna charged and the mutate brought its beak down on her left front
leg.  It sunk in deep and Luna screamed in agony.  She used her claws on her
right front leg to cut the beasts face and another spurt of the yellowish
red, blood and puss mixture flew as it drew its head back.  They litterally
both parted bloodied.  The mutate brought its undamaged wing around and
smashed Luna in the side.  Luna was knocked back and landed next to Artimis
and saw that the mutate was charging them.  The mutate was opening its beak
to strike the final blow.  The mutate was mere inches away........

	The mutate was suddenly missing its head.  The headless body flopped
backward, twitched a few times and lay still.  Then they heard Gremlin say,
"Learn something new about mutates everyday, yes?  Never knew there were
bird ones, no?"

	Lynx's lisping tone took over as he said, "Me too," then he turned to
the injured child and asked, "Hey kid, you all right?"

	The child nodded weakly and pointed at the two bloodied cats.  "T-
They stopped it from hurting me," he stated, "help them."

	Lynx whirled and saw Luna and Artimis on the ground.  He saw the
slash marks on them, the claw marks on the face of the mutate, which
was still attached to his claws, the yellow puss that was dripping from
Luna's claws and chuckled as he shook the mutates head off his hand, "You
two are quite the little heros."

	Gremlin also chuckled, "Good job they did, yes?  Should make those
two official Warriors for this, no?"

	Melody came and picked the two injured felines up as she said, "I'll
get you to the Healers.  You deserve the best we can give you for a job well
done."

	Artimis winked at Luna, Luna grinned back and then both of them
promptly passed out.

	Okay, enough of the intermission.  NOW, we go back to Androxia.
We'll see if Sailor Mars is still alive.  We'll see if Pluto and Anne can
destroy the Time Adjuster.  We'll see if Riki and Hickok can just plain old
survive.  Plus, the big battle, the rumble to end all rumbles, Sailor Venus

CHAPTER 13: THE FINAL BATTLE PART 1: THE FALL OF PRIMATOR
****************************************************************************

	Sailor Venus ran back into the room.  The image on Primators screen
had reverted back to the glowing red eyes.  "YOUR BACK I SEE," Primator
stated, "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR GREEN SUITED FRIEND?"

	"She's with Mars," Venus replied, "who'll live.  Which is more than I
can say for you!"

	"DO YOU TRUTHFULY WISH TO TEST YOURSELF AGAINST ME?  VERY WELL THEN,
LET US BEGIN!"

	Venus extended her finger and concentrated.  Two creasent moons
formed on her finger and combined.  Then, she pointed her finger at Primator
and fired a blast on the command of, "CREASENT BEAM!"

	The amber colored beam struck Primators screen and bounced off.
Primator sighed and said, "I TOLD YOU BEFORE YOUR POWERS WOULD BE USELESS
AGAINST ME.  PERHAPS YOU WILL NOW KNOW THAT I WAS SIMPLY STATING FACTS
INSTEAD OF BOASTING.  UNLIKE YOU HUMANS, I DO NOT BOAST OR LIE OR BLUFF."

	During Primators tirade, Venus had fired several more bursts with the
same effect as the first.  "NOW," Primator said, "I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT A
REAL LASER BEAM LOOKS LIKE."

	The beam from somewhere in the ceiling above Primator fired and Venus
was hard pressed to avoid all the shots it rained down on her.

	Meanwhile across town........

	"WHAT?!?" Riki exclaimed, "Your telling me that you didn't think of a
way out of this?!?"

	Hickok just grinned sheepishly and Riki shook his head as he said, "I
can't believe that Blade made you head Warrior when he left to do that
Freedom Force thing."

	"Don't sweat it pard," Hickok replied, "I just got me an idea."

	"Tell me.  Quick."

	"You see that there new contraption that those two Supiriors are
bringin' over?"

	"Yes."

	Indeed he did, it was hard to miss.  It looked like a giant version
of a Gaskell Lazer, (let's call it a Gaskell Cannon) it was being pulled on a
giant pair of wheels.  "So?" Riki asked, "What does that thing have to do
with your plan?"

	"I'm gonna mosey out there and get 'em to shoot at me.  Then I'm
gonna move so they expose a gas line.  Then I'm gonna light all our dynamite
and blow this here whole block sky high."

	"You relize of course, that your plan is totaly insane.  The type of
thing that would only work in a book."

	"Yep.  I know that pard."

	"Then let me do the running part.  I'm faster then you are."

	"Okay, but be careful."

	"If I wanted to be careful, I would have never become a Warrior."

	Riki ran out from behind cover and shouted, "Over here you overgrown
Tin Woodsmen."

	Riki swearved left and right as the Gaskell Cannon started firing.
He saw humans and mutants looking at him in shock, and he thanked the Spirit
that the Supiriors did not allow the humans and mutants under their control
to use Gaskell Lazers.  He ran to the side of the road and stuck his tounge
out at the Supiriors manning the cannon.  The two of them fired the cannon
again and Riki jumped clear.  The ground he had occupied not a second
earlier vaporized and revield....  "I don't believe it," Riki thought, "this
is actually working."

	Hickok saw the exposed gas line and removed a stick of dynamite from
the pack.  He lit it and tossed it back into the pack.  He then stood up and
said as he threw the pack at the exposed gas line, "Time for one big BOOM!"

	He and Riki ran away as fast as possible and they heard someone say,
"Holy SHIT!  That lines about to blow!  RUN!!!"

	KA-BOOM!  The gas line exploded in a wall of flame that reached for
the heavens.  Several more explosions rang out as the line exploded both
ways down the street.  Anyone caught in its path was burnt beyond
recognition.  Buildings that the gas line was connected to also exploded.
The wall of flames began to catch up with the two Warriors.  "Maybe," Hickok
mussed aloud, "that wasn't such a bright idea after all."

	"We'll make it," Riki replied.

	"Sure.  Piece of cake."

	Back at the Prime Complex, but in the basement......

	Pluto staggered back and tried to ignore the fatigue that threatened
to overwhelm her.  She and the Mark 2 Supirior had been battling for a good
thrity minutes (or at least it FELT like thirty minutes) and Pluto had
recieved the worst of it.  Her left arm hung limply at her side, her right
eye was swolen shut, and she had a pronounced limp with her left leg.  "You
can not hold any hope for victory," P-001 stated, "You are human.  You tire,
I do not.  Even without your injuries, I could continue to battle longer
then you can."

	"Your underestimating the human spirit," Pluto replied, "shall be
your downfall."

	Anne continued to blast Supirior after Supirior after Supirior.
Eventually, perhaps inevitably, one got close enough to grab her.  Anne,
thinking that it was all over, was suprised when her womb let out its own
blast that destroyed the android touching her.  "Thank you my child," she
cooed.

	Back upstairs.............

	Venus dodged again and again as the laser continued to fire.  She
had finally been able to pin point the location of the lasers point of
origin.  She fired a Creasent Beam at that place.  A small explosion sounded
and a litte whisp of smoke curled out of the shadows.  "IMPRESSIVE,"
Primator said, "YOU HAVE DESTROYED MY PRIMARY LASER CANNON."

	Suddenly, laser beams shot out from different points of the room,
forming a web around Sailor Venus.  "HOWEVER, YOU HAVE NOT DESTROYED MY
LASER WEB.  THIS WEB IS DESIGNED TO START FAR APART AND GROW SMALLER AND
SMALLER, UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY BECOMES A NOOSE."

	"This is it," Venus thought, "it's now or never.  I have to smash
that screen.  Time to try something new."

	She concentrated and began her new attack.  At first it looked like
the Venus Love-Me Chain attack, but then the hearts of the chain broke into
seperate pieces and grew spikes.  Several of them went in Venus's hand and
she flung them forward with a cry of, "VENUS LOVE-ME STARS!!!"

	The stars flew forward and struck the screen.  At first they did
nothing, but then small cracks bagan to appear.  They grew larger and larger
until the screen burst apart.  The laser web however, continued to move
closer.  "AGAIN," Primator stated, "IMPRESSIVE.  YOU HAVE DESTROYED MY
SCREEN, BUT YOU HAVE NOT DESTROYED ME.  THE WEB GROWS NEARER, WHAT WILL YOU
DO NOW?"

	"Only going to have one chance at this," Venus thought, "So I better
make it good."

	Venus used all the speed and agility at her command to move through
the laser web to the shattered screen and ran inside the metalic guts of
Primator.  What she saw looked more like a factory then a computer.  What
suprised her most was that there was more then enough space for her to move 
around in.  "ONCE MORE," Primator said, "I MUST APPLAUDE YOUR SURVIVAL
SKILLS.  HOWEVER, DON'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO DESTROY ME BY BLASTING ME
APART PIECE BY PIECE.  I AM SELF REPAIRING, ANY DAMAGE YOU DO WILL BE FIXED
ALMOST INSTANTANIOUSLY BY MY INTERNAL REPAIR FACTORY."

	"Then I'll just have to take out your main power source.  OOOFF!"

	The "OOOFF" was because at that moment, a metal arm came down from
the ceiling and bashed Venus on the back of the head.  "DID I FORGET TO
MENTION," Primator said, "THAT THE SAME DEVICES WHICH KEEP ME IN REPAIR,
ALSO MAKE EFFECTIVE WEAPONS?"

	In the room right outside.....

	Jupiter was torn.  She didn't know what to do.  Should she stay with
Mars?  Should she go help Venus?  The blood flow had stopped and Mars would
fitfully groan ever now and then.  She had lost a good deal of blood and her
face was deathly pale.

	The decision was made for her as the door to a device marked
"McCammon Null Tube" opened and a squad of Supiriors armed with Gaskell
Lazers popped out.  Jupiter stood and said, "Don't even think about it.  I
won't let you hurt either of my friends.  SUPREME THUNDER DRAGON!!!"

	Back downstairs again.........

	Pluto fell over on the ground and rolled to avoid the boot that the
Mark 2 had planned to stomp on her back with.  The Mark 2 closed in and
said, "Logic dictates that you should surrender, but since most orginisms
are not logical I will not be disapointed if you don't."

	Pluto looked around quickly and saw that they were near the railing
next to the Time Adjuster.  A plan started to form that would take out two
birds with one stone.

	"It's time," Pluto thought, "to give this act the hook."

	She gripped the Time Rod and brought it around with all the strength
she could muster.  It hit the Mark 2 Supirior in the ankle and while it
didn't send P-001 flying, the Supirior did stumble to the side and he fell
over the railing with a detached, "Oh my."

	The M2S hit the satilite-like object on the end of the Time Adjuster
and P-001 jerked as a strong electrical current ran through him.  Pluto
grinned as she stood and said, "Also, never underestimate the power of an
upset victory.  Dead Scream."

	The ball of power rocketed toward the Time Adjuster and hit it with
a tremendous force.  It exploded and took the Mark 2 Supirior with it. 
Pluto looked around as she brushed the sweat off her brow and saw that Anne
had destroyed almost all the Supiriors that had accompanied P-001.

	Anne grabbed the last remaining Supirior by the throat and lifted it
into the air.  This Supirior had been badly damaged and large quantities of
clear fluid ran down to the floor.  "Tell me you overgrown hunk of tin," she
snarled, "Where is Ail?"

	"T-t-the," the Supirior replied," o-o-other b-b-being i-i-is i-i-in
N-N-New Y-Y-York."

	The Supirior "died" and Anne let go.  "New York," she whispered
hopefuly, "I will see him again."

	"Worry about that later," Pluto said as she ran over, "We still need
your help here.  We've got to go help the others."

	Anne nodded reluctantly and asked, "Who should we help first?"

	"Well, the Warriors are all alone against an entire city.  I think
they would probably apreciate the assistance more."

	Upstairs again.........

	Sailor Venus ducked and dodged the attacks of metal service arms,
whelding lasers, and other assortied repair devices as she moved through the
guts of Primator looking for one weak spot to exploit.  "You (yow)," she
yelled, "won't (yikes) stop (whoa) me!"

	"WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT ORGANISM."

	Venus still couldn't find anything that looked like it would do the
job.  She began wishing that Mercury and her computer was with her.  Then
she saw it.  A glowing pillar of energy.  "That has got to be it," she
thought to herself.

	She charged up her energy again and shouted, "CREASENT BEAM SHOWER!!"

	The multiple beams slammed into the pillar and to Venus's suprise,
were absorbed.  "MMMMMMM!" Primator gloated, "PLASMA ENERGY.  MOST
REFRESHING, THANK YOU!"

	Venus tried again and this time threw in the Love-Me Chain and a few
Love-Me Stars.  They were all absorbed by the pillar.  She was getting
desperate, time to try something else new.  She put her right hand in front
of her, her palm facing the pillar and braced her right with her left.  She
focused every bit of energy she could call apon into her right hand.  The
amber energy made her right hand glow.  "COSMIC..." the glow intensified,
"CREASENT...." the energy focused into the middle of her palm, "CANNON!!!"

	The blast of energy from her palm hit the pillar.  At first it seemed
as if the result would be the same as the other attacks, but as time wore on
cracks bagan to appear in the pillar and a klaxon sound.  "STOP, YOU FOOL!"
Primator shouted, "I AM CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING IN THE PRIME COMPLEX!  IF
YOU DESTROY ME THEN THIS BUILDING WILL EXPLODE!"

	"At least," Venus replied, "I'll take you with me!"

	The cracks intensified and the pillar shook, "NO(bzzt)" Primator
almost seemed to whine, "IT CAN NO(crackle) en(zzzzttt) thi......."

	The pillar exploded, knocking Venus back.  She cut her cannon and
gasped for breath.  "We've got to get out of here," she thought.

	She stumbled back out to the sanctuary chamber and into the hall.
She saw Jupiter standing over a squad of fried Supiriors and a Sailor Mars
who was slowly comming to.  "What happened?" Mars groaned weakly, "Did I
miss anything important?"

	"Not much," Venus replied nonchalantly, "I just killed Primator and
Jupiter just fried some more Supiriors and now we've got to get out of here
before this place blows up."

	At that moment the building started to shake and a roar from
somewhere down below sounded.  "Let's try a Sailor Teleport," Jupiter
sugested.

	Jupiter and Venus linked hands with Mars inbetween them.  "SAILOR
TELEPORT!" they cried in unison.

	The three of them landed on the street a few blocks away from the
Prime Complex.  "Well," they heard a voice with a western twang to it say,
"looks like you little ladies made it too."

	The Sailors looked up and saw Hickok, Riki, Pluto, and Anne smiling
down at them.  "We did more than just 'make it'," Venus exclaimed happily,
"I killed Primator."

	"You sure about that?" Hickok asked.

	At that moment the Prime Complex exploded.  Like something out of the
movie Independence Day, the top floor exploded first and then the explosions
traveled all the way down to the first floor.  Venus replied with, "I'm
quite sure."

	Hickoks jaw dropped and Riki laughed as he said, "I think we've been
one uped."

	Jupiter and Mars hadn't seen the Prime Complex explode because they
were too busy gawking at the destruction that the Warriors had caused.  They
looked up at the them and Jupiter said in awe, "Man, when you say
distraction, you mean DISTRACTION!"

	A good portion of the city where the Warriors had come from was in
flames.  Periodicaly, explosions would rip up into the sky.  The Sailors
looked at the Warriors and Riki and Hickok had "who me?" looks on their
faces, then they pointed at each other.  "Who one uped who?" Mars quiped.

	Sailor Jupiter pulled out her comunicator and after hitting the "All
Call" button which Mercury had changed the frequency of, called the VTOL in
Northern Texas to come pick them up.

	"If you don't mind," Anne said, "I'll go to New York now.  I can't
wait to be reunited with my love again."

	"Go on ahead," Hickok said, "We're gonna have to hike a little to the
pick up site, but I don't reckon there's gonna be any trouble."

	Anne flashed away in a teleportation, a smile of pure joy creasing
her features.  They were free.

ENDWORLD: MOON RUN
CHAPTER 14: THE FINAL BATTLE PART 2: ROCK THE GARDEN
****************************************************************************

	"It's down here," Timeiand said.

	Blade and Sailor Moon were the first ones to follow him off the
platform and onto the subway tracks.  They watched as Timeiand stooped over
and opened a hidden door in the middle of the tracks.  They saw nothing but
darkness in the hole and the group jumped down.  Unknown to them, as soon as
they were all down the hole, two shadows went down after them.

	As they walked down the long, dark hallway, Mercury caught up with
Moon and asked, "How are you doing?"

	"I'm fine," was the response.

	"Are you sure?  After what happened before with the Zombies...."

	"I SAID, I'm fine."

	Mercury knew that wasn't completly true.  She could see the dead look
was still in Sailor Moons eyes.  "Physicaly you may be fine," Mercury
shot back, "but what about mentaly?  We might survive this mission, but how
will you be changed?"

	"I would have thought you would be happy," Sailor Moon growled, "I'm
FINALLY what Luna wanted me to be about being Sailor Moon!  Serious!"

	"Somehow," Mercury thought, "I don't think this is what she had in
mind."

	"We have arrived," Timeiand said suddenly, "there is the device that
will cause so much trouble if we are unsuccesful."

	The device was a mess of wires and tubes, connected to a larged
golden cylinder.  Mercury recognized it imeadiatly.  "That's the device," she
thought, " that I saw on the Mind Scape when..........."

	"Well, well, well," a new voice cut in, "I can 'see' that you have
your 'sights' set on getting our prize."

	The group turned and saw Ey-Se-U step into view acompanied by a
Supirior.  The Cardian laughed and continued his pun tirade, "'Looks' like
you fellas are lucky.  You've got some ladies who are a 'sight' for 'sore
eyes'.  I mean, they're real 'eye poppers'."

	Geronimo groaned and whispered to Blade, "'Iris' he'd shut up."

	"Surrender," Ey-Se-U continued, "I'm the most powerful Cardian ever
and my partner here is more than human too.  You don't stand a......"

	"MOON PRINCESS HALATION!!!"

	The Supirior was hit by the creasent moon shaped bolt of energy and
disintergrated.  "All righty then," the Cardian said with a tiny bit of
aprehension, "but I'm still the most powerful Cardian ever and aren't you
supposed to say a speach before doing that?"

	Sailor Moon gave him a VERY nasty look and replied, "Who has time for
speaches?"

	Ey-Se-U gulped and got even more nervous as he saw Blade and Geronimo
heft their Dakon II's threateningly.  "Bye," he said before he ran off as
fast as he could.

	"After him!" Timeiand yelled, "He's probably going for the other
members of the group he's with!"

	Blade, with his longer stride quickly outdistanced the others and
saw the monster jump out onto the tracks.  Blade followed him out of the
hole and imediatly wished he hadn't.  He saw the thing called a "Cardian", a
man with green skin and blue hair, two regular Supiriors, and something that
looked like a more powerful version of one.

	He looked at the green man and said, "I assume your the one called
Ail right?"

	"Correct," was Ail's reply, "I must ask for that device you seem to
be after."

	"The only place that thing is going, is straight to hell."

	Ail growled, "I wouldn't be so sure of that.  P-002, go fetch."

	P-002 sighed, looked at the Supiriors and Cardian and said, "Come
along."

	The three Supiriors jumped down the hole, but the Cardian halted and
looked at Ail.  Ale drew his flute and played the melody that gave Ey-Se-U
his orders.  He nodded and also went down the hole.  Ail turned to Blade and
said, "Now it is just you and me," Ail raised his hand, "and you won't need
that gun."

	The pulse wave Ail shot shattered the Dakon II that Blade held.
Blade was suprised, but recovered quickly as he drew his Bowies and charged
the alien.  Ail ducked and felt a few locks of his hair seperate from his
scalp as the Bowies whoshed by.  "This human is good," he thought, "REAL
good."

	Ail punched Blade in the solar plexus, causing the head Warrior to
double over and drop his knives.  Ail attempted to bring an axehandle down
on the back of Blades neck, but Blade stood up and upercutted Ail in the
jaw.

	Blade grabbed Ail by the throat and started to throtal him.  Ail flew
upwards, planing to smash Blade into the subway tunnels roof.  Blade
repossitoned himself so Ail took the brunt of the trip.  They flew out
through the ceiling of the Garden and into the night sky.

	"Let go you fool," Ail gasped, "If you don't, you'll kill us both."

	"At least," Blade replied, "I'll take you and Primators plans with me
then."

	"If only you knew," Ail thought, "that I do not wish to work with
Primator."

	Back in the tunnels...

	Timeiand had stayed with the device and Mercury stayed with him.
"You knew didn't you?" she asked.

	"Yes," Timeiand replied, "I knew that this mission would be my last
one.  However, that will not stop me from doing what needs to be done."

	Mercury nodded and at that point Geronimo ran into the room and said,
"We've got company."

	Outside the room, the Mark 2 Supirior, the regular Supiriors and
Ey-Se-U had come for the device.  Tuxedo Kamen threw a rose at one of the
Supririors and it stuck in its chest.  The Supirior looked down at the rose
and commented, "Strange.  I did not know a human could throw something blunt
with the velocity to cause penetration."

	Tux looked on in suprise and thought, "I'm starting to feel useless
here."

	"SHABON SPRAY FREEZING!!!"

	The mist hit the Supirior with the rose imbeded in it and the
Supirior was frozen.  Tuxedo then used his cane to shatter the frozen
android.  He gave an apreciative smile at Mercury and added to himself,
"Well, not completely useless."

	 Geronimo fired his Dakon II and the fragmentation bullets ripped the
last regular Supirior to shreds.  Everyone, (with the exception of the M2S)
was suprised when Sailor Moon let out a growl, jumped on Ey-Se-U and pummled
away on his head with her scepter.  "Hey! (ouch)," the Cardian compained as
he tried to fend off the blows, "What (erk) do (youch) you (ungh) think your
(oof) doing?  What's the matter (arrgh) with you (ack) anyway?"

	Timeiand was franticaly pounding on a pad of buttons located on the
side of the device.  He knew that hitting the combination of buttons he was
hitting would set off the devices self-destruct feature.  Although he figure
it had been added originaly to keep it from being stolen by a rival company
then to save the world.  He finished the sequence and turned.  He stood in a
defencive possition.  "I have to stay here," he thought, "The Supiriors
might know how to deactivate the self-destruct and I will not let them win."

	As the combatants in the hall continued to battle......

	In the dark tunnles, a creature awoke.  It's dim mind registered the
sounds of living beings in its home.  The creatures insatiable hunger,
burning like a fire in its belly awoke and it moved out to feed.

	Sailor Moon looked up as she heard a hiss, screamed despite her
promise to herself to be braver and leaped away from Ey-Se-U.  Ey-Se-U stood
up and shook out his head.  "Talk about double vision," he quipped grogily.

	Then his eye stalks turned to where Sailor Moon was gawking and he
let out a small "eek" and froze.  Everyones jaws dropped at the sight of the
...thing standing in front of them.

	It was an amalgamation of insect and arachnid-like traits.  It had a
head like an ants.  It's legs were like a spiders.  Its body was like a
wasps without its wings, with a long deadly stinger at the end.  Its over
twenty eyes were green and glowing.  The size of it was incredible.  It
nearly filled every inch of the thirty foot tall tunnel.  The creature moved
in on Ey-Se-U and the Cardian exclaimed, "Hey!  Why are you looking at me
that way?  I know we're kindred spirits but come on now.  Back off!"

	The beast moved with a speed that should have been impossible for
something its size and chomped its mandables down on both sides of Ey-Se-U.
The mandables dug into the Cardians sides and Ey-Se-U screamed in pain.
The creature shook its head slightly and Ey-Se-U split into two halves.
The top half went into the monsters maw and the bottom half slipped to the
floor.  All of them could hear the loud chewing noises emiting from the
monsters mouth as it ate the Cardian.

	P-002 edged over to Geronimo and said as the creature began to eat
Ey-Se-Us bottom half, "Might I suggest a temporary alliance until this
creature is defeated?"

	Geronimo replied, "Fine by me."

	Geronimo raised his Dakon and fired the bullets at the creature, as
P-002's Gaskell Lazer also went off at the beast.  The Senshi and Tuxedo
Kamen threw in their attacks, for all the good it did them.

	The creature was stunned.  It had figured that if the first one had
been an easy (if not a very tasty) meal, then all of them would have been.
Instead, the creature was hit by things it couldn't see that tore pieces of
it apart, hit by little points of light, hit by a little red thing, blinded
by fog, and a yellow circle came towards it.

	"Moon Tiara ACTION!!!"

	"SHABON SPRAY!!!"

	Tuxedo Kamen threw a rose.

	The creature staggered back from the attack.

	The fragmentation bullets cut into the beast, letting fly, thick
black blood.  The Gaskell also cut deep into the monsters chest, the rose hit
it in one of the eyes, the tiara slashed along its face, releasing more
spurts of blood.

	"Mercury," Moon said, in an unusualy authorative tone, "use your
computer to find any weaknesses on this thing."

	Mercury brought her computer from its subspace pocket and activated
her VR visor.  The scan she ran was not very good.  "I can't find one," she
shouted over the din of the monsters roar.

	"I've got an idea," Geronimo said, "the best way to defeat an
opponent is to disarm them... or disLEG is this case."

	"I see," P-002 said, "I'm suprised human.  It's a good plan.  Not
very imaginative but effective."

	Everyone reaimed their weapons at the beasts legs.  Geronimo
continued to fire until the Dakon clicked on empty.  Sailor Mercury did
another Shabon Spray Freezing, but the monsters legs were so big she couldn't
get all of one in her attack.  Sailor Moon threw her tiara again and she used
all her power to get it to finally cut through one of the legs.  She repeated
this to get another leg but as soon as it was through it turned back from a
discus to its nornal shape and fell to the ground.  "It's out of power," she
said.

	P-002 was supprised when he could only get one leg after fifty shots
from his Gaskell.  "Forget it," Tuxedo Kamen shouted, "its legs are too
thick there's no way we can get through all of them."

	They all heard Timeiand say, "Get out of here!  You've done your job,
the Time Adjuster will never be complete now."

	"The device," P-002 exclaimed, "I must retrieve it!"

	The Mark 2 Supirior ran into the room and everyone could hear the
sounds of fighting.  "Get out of here, good idea," Geronimo said
sarcasticaly, "Any ideas on how to do that?"

	Sailor Moon replied with, "We've got to distract it and then move
REAL quick."

	"I guess distraction means me," Geronimo sighed, "Oh well," he turned
towards the monster, let out his war whoop and shouted, "Over here you
abomination!"

	He ran over to the right, reloaded the Dakon and fired.  The creature
turned towards the loud being that tried to hurt it and lunged.  Geronimo
dodged and yelled, "NOW!  Go NOW!"

	Sailor Moon ran first and went under the creatures legs to the other
side.  She triped on a rock on the ground and fell on her face.  "No!  No!
No!" she thought, "Why did I have to have a klutz attack now?!?"

	The monsters stinger plunged downward and Sailor Moon rolled out of
the way.  She didn't avoid it completly though and it cut her on the
shoulder.  The blood from her shoulder spread over her shirt.  The stinger
came down again and Sailor Moon thought that she was finished until Tuxedo
Kamen scouped her up and carried her out of the way.

	Mercury made it safely and then Geronimo saw that it was his turn.
Sailor Moon knowing it was her turn for making a distraction, (and although
she would never admit it, she also wanted payback) drew her scepter and let
loose a Moon Princess Halation, which cut off the monsters stinger.  The
creature roared in pain and Geronimo ran under it, firing his Dakon upwards
as he went by, making more black blood ooze down on him.

	As soon as he was passed the creature, Geronimo heard an explosion
from the room the device was stored in and he turned his head as he saw a
puff of flame burp out of the room.  "What about Timeiand?" he asked.

	Mercury sadly replied, "He knew this would happen.  We have to go."

	Back up in the sky........

	Ail gagged as Blade tightened his grip.  They were several hundred
feet in the air and Blade was also begining to gasp from the thinning air.
At that moment a new, female voice yelled, "Ail, stop!"

	Ail turned his head and he felt Blades grip loosen slightly, not
enough to try anything but it didn't completly cut off his air supply.
"Anne," Ail gasped, "Your free."

	"Yes," Anne replied, "We're free.  Primator is destroyed."

	Blade growled, "How do I know your telling the truth?"

	Ail began to float slowly to the ground and replied, "How does this
do as evidence?"

	"Not bad," Blade said flatly, "However, helping us destroy the
Supiriors here would go a long way towards convincing me."

	Ail smiled wickedly, "That would be a pleasure."

	They landed in the colosseum and they saw the rest of their group
rushing to meet them.  "AIL, ANNE!" the Senshi yelled cheerfuly.

	The two aliens smiled and the Senshi stopped as they saw Anne's
protruding belly.  They stared in suprise and Tuxedo Kamen thought, "Well,
what do you know."

	Anne smiled and said, "I thought that would be your reaction."

	Geronimo came to Blade and said, "Mission over.  We did it.  The
device is destroyed, but... we lost Timeiand."

	Blade lowered his head and replied softly, "I'll go get the SEAL."

	Geronimo knew that Blade was unreasonably blaming himself for the
loss, he always was hard on himself and everytime he lost someone under his
command he lingered on the should of's and could of's.  He watched as Blade
walked out the doors for the place he had parked the SEAL.

	Then the group turned their heads as they saw the Mark 2 Supirior,
missing its right arm, rush for them.  "Ail," he said, not noticing Anne,
"We must destroy them."

	"Wrong," Ail said as he stood aside to reveil Anne, "your the one
who's destroyed!"

	He flinged out his hand and unleashed a pulse wave that blew off the
head of P-002.  The clear fluid spewed out and the head rolled off into the
shadows.  Ail stood over the Mark 2 Supiriors body and prepaired to kick it,
when the body sat up and grabbed Ail on the back of the head.  Then it
threw Ail into Anne, knocking both of them out.  Everyone was caught
flatfooted and recovered as Sailor Mercury was sluged in the jaw.

	Mercury fell to the ground unconcious and Sailor Moon drew her
scepter but didn't get a chance to fire it, as P-002 hit her in the face and
the stomach.  She crumpled and Tuxedo Kamen slammed his cane into the
headless android.  The M2S grabbed the cane and flipped it, along with its
owner, into the ground.  Tuxedo groaned and passed out.  Geronimo prepaired
to fire but stopped as he saw that the creature they had been fighting
before, somehow, had crawled out of the hole and out of the subway into the
arena.  "Oh great," he groaned, "just what we need now."

	The monster roared and charged P-002.  It grabbed P-002 with its
madables and tried to crush the android.  The androids body was split in
half like Ey-Se-U but the Supirior kept fighting.  It used its one hand to
try to pry open one of the beasts mandables, and the Mark 2's power kept the
outcome of the strange duel in doubt.

	Suddenly, the SEAL burst into the arena and it came at a full charge.
Blade slammed on the brakes and turned it to face the monster.  He flicked
the silver switch marked R.

	The Rocket Launcher fired and it hit the beast right in the mush.
The Mark 2 Supirior was vaporised and the mouth of the creature was
mutilated.

	The monster roared, Blade flicked the switch again and another rocket
flew out and blasted more of the creatures face.  Somehow, it still
survived.  "You just don't know when to die do you?" Blade muttered, "I
didn't want to use this, but you leave me no choice."

	He flicked a switch marked S.  A Surface-to-Air Stinger missle rose
from its compartment in the roof.  It launched and hit the beast.

	The beast blew up good.  The head was disintegrated from the force of
the missles explosive payload.  The rest of the body flew apart in a bloody
mess.  Blade got out of the vehicle and went over to Geronimo.  "Are you
all right?" he asked.

	"I'm fine," Geronimo replied, then pointed to the Senshi, the aliens
and Tuxedo Kamen, "but isn't this where we came in?"

	The two Warriors did quick checks on the others and from what they
could tell, they would all have some bruises, but would be fine.  A
hypothisis which was verified as they all came to as the Warriors placed
them into the SEAL.  "That's it," Blade said, "let's go Home."

THE END????

NOT QUITE

WE'VE STILL GOT THE OLD EPILOUGE

May The Spirit Preserve You.

ENDWORLD: MOON RUN
EPILOUGES GO RIGHT ABOUT HERE.
****************************************************************************

	They had stayed at the Home for two weeks, to let Rei's stomach wound
and Usagi's shoulder wound heal and now it was time to go home.  Pluto
flashed back upon the events of those two weeks.

	She had cried when she heard that her father had given his life in
New York.  Even though he had told her it would happen, it still hurt.

	All the Senshi had noticed how Usagi had changed.  How she still
smiled but the smile would very rarley reach her eyes.  It scared them all.

	The first thing they heard from Plato when they asked about the
well being of Luna and Artimis was, "Gremlin has been trying to get them
nominated as Warriors."

	Pluto sighed as she looked out over the Home.  In a future as dark as
this one, it was nice to see that Crystal Tokyo was not the only bright spot
in the world.

	She saw the Senshi as they gathered in the middle of the field, she
saw the look in Usagi's eyes and she finally understood what her father had
planed when he gave her a special crystal that would block any memories of
anyone who went through the portal of when they were out of their natural
time.  Timeiand had told her that the block would not be permenant but would
lift, "when the time is right."

	Usagi walked over to Blade and said, "It was nice meeting you."

	Blade replied, "Same here."

	They shook hands and Usagi turned to Anne and Ail and she asked,
"What about you two?  What are you going to do?"

	"We don't know," Anne replied, "Primator did some kind of bio-genetic
altering to us so that we would no longer be connected to the Tree of Life
and then had it destroyed so he could have more control over us.  We have
nowhere to go."

	Blade came up to them and said, "You'd be welcome here."

	Ail was suprised.  "You mean, even after all that happened, you'd let
us stay in the Home?"

	Blade nodded and Anne and Ail said together, "We'd like that."

	"One last thing I'd like to know," Makoto said, "How did you two get
captured in the first place?"

	Ail sighed, "We had been searching for a new planet to live on for a
long time.  During our search, we got caught in a meteor shower and got lost.
We landed just outside of Androxia and before we knew what had happened, we
were surrounded by the Supiriors.

	"Primator studied us like your lab rats and grew interested in our
knowlage of mystical things.  He learned enough about us to do the
bio-genetic altering I mention and then he started denying Anne energy and
me of the right to see her.  He would alow her energy and the right for us
to be together in exchange for information and assistance.  Does that answer
your question?"

	"I guess it does," Mako replied, chilled to the bone, "I'm glad that
HE won't be causing trouble anymore.  Minako saw to that."

	Pluto fired up the Time Portal.  The Senshi took one last look at the
Home and leaped through.  The Family didn't see Pluto throw the crystal into
the portal.

	Pluto closed that Time Portal, opened another to who knew where and
stepped through.

	The Family began to move off to go back to their duties when suddenly
the emergency horn went off.  All eighteen Warriors went to prepair for a
possible enemy.  They didn't get very far before a large white aircraft,
that looked like nothing in the Family Library, landed in the middle of the
Home.  A door on the side opened and a ramp extended to the ground.

	A woman in a long white flowing dress and a VERY familiar hairstlye,
came out and raised her hands in a peaceful gesture.  Her blue eyes sparkled
as if she were always in good cheer.  Her most striking feature was the
golden creasent moon mark on her forhead.  "Hold," she said, "I come in
peace.  My name is Queen Serenity."

	In her hands was a long white staff, topped with a beutiful crystal.
Blade, Hickok, Geronimo, and Plato walked up to her and Plato replied,
"Hello.  My name is Plato.  I welcome you to the Home."

	Serenity let out an amused chuckle and said, "After all this time you
still use the same line."

	"Do you know us?" Blade asked confused.

	Serenity began to laugh slightly and put a hand over her mouth to
stiffle it.  "I reckon you look familiar," Hickok said, "but I just can't
place where I seen your face."

	Serenity replied, "Perhaps this will remind you."

	She raised her staff and gently rapped Hickok on the head with it.
Hickok's jaw dropped and he sputtered, "No... you can't be who I reckon you
are."

	Blade also understood the hint and he also found speach difficult,
"If you were who I think you are, you'd be......"

	"Several hundred years old?" Serenity asked with a raised eyebrow.

	Blade just nodded.  "Trust me," Serenity said as she patted Blades
shoulder, "don't think about thing mystic unless you have to.  It will just
make you head hurt."

	"You've certainly aged well," Geronimo added in shock.

	Plato recovered and got back to buisness with, "Why are you here?"

	"I have come to join your Freedom Federation.  Consider it repaying
a debt I and my friends owe you.  From this day forward, the aid of Crystal
Tokyo will be available to you."

	"Crystal Tokyo?" Blade asked, "As in Tokyo, Japan?"

	Serenity nodded.  Blade smiled.  This was a good sign.  Here was the
first international effort to bringing the world out of the darkness of
post-WWIII.

	And to think, it was brought about by a group of school children
who dropped out of the sky. 


NOW IT'S
THE END

	Well, that's all for this story.  I hope you enjoyed it.  I know I
enjoyed writting it.  I'm not done with the Warriors yet though.  I'm in the
planing stages of doing an Endworld story which involves the cast of
Ranma 1/2.

	I'm not sure how I'll pull it off, but I do know that Ryoga can get
REALLY lost sometimes.
