A Knight to Remember

[Rawfully Smutty]

"Never take your attention off the enemy!" It was the moment he was waiting for. The slight disadvantage that was made by his opponent opened an attack for Vicious. His body jolted forth towards Sailor Mercury, the malevolent eyes never leaving that of the girl.

As his form came close enough, he readied to attack. His knees bent further down into the ground. The sound of concrete splitting apart was heard as his feet sunk deeper into the floor. The sparks that occasionally appeared were more rapid and spontaneous. The blue light shot throughout his body. Vicious's left knee then pushed out into the air with great force. The right leg was engulfed by blue light, it pushing forth quickly into the air. Vicious's body was practically upside down by now. The blast of energy that had covered the leg ripped through the floor and headed in the general direction of Sailor Mercury.

((wee! Thought of something!))

Aisu looked around the man, Vicious. She noticed a fire hydrant right by him. Following Mercury, she whispered "Neptune, here me" and she willed the water to help her.

The hydrant burst, the water stream rushed at Vicious.

"Nani?!" Usagi exclaimed as she felt the energy Aisu was emitting. She had listened to everything Mercury had said to the man, Viscious, as her blue haired friend fought him. Of course, Usagi had not been standing around doing nothing. She had been helping people leave the area because of the attack he had attempted to use. Hurting innocent people for no reason made Usagi's blood boil.

'How could someone do that for no reason?' she thought as she slowly neared Sailor Mercury.

"YOU!" the blonde haired soldier called, pointing up at Viscious. She would not let him go unpunished for his evil deeds. "How dare you attack innocent people for no reason! And how dare you put the Crown Game Centre in danger!" True to form she would deleiver her speech to him like so many other enemies she had faced. It was an age old speech that she felt was perfect for every battle occasion. She even had her own set of poses for it. "Ai to seigi no bishoujo senshi Sailor Moon! Tsukini kawatte..." she spoke, waving her arms in her traditional manner and ending with one gloved hand pointing at Viscious. "...Oshioki yo!"

((My original thought was that Artemis was actually there to provide the knight's tranformation foci, much like Luna always had the senshi's items.))

Kou smiled as Minako offered to come over after work. "Why don't you come over afterwords." He looked into her eyes, still smiling. "And maybe stay the night?" He suggested, still holding her close. "We can order a pizza or something and you can sleep over. What do you think?"  

[Darkness Cake]

((Ah! Good idea!))  

[Solar Kitty-chan]

((Yeah, that is a good idea. Time for Artemis to get more spotlight than Luna!))  

[Mercuryangel]

Mercury cursed, but she'd had no choice. A small part of her noticed that the hydrant burst, confirming her guess. The attack was too far along for her to stop or dodge completely, but she could weaken it.

"Aqua Illusion!!" The attack collided with Vicious's and the force of his attack was lessened, before it once again flew towards the blue haired senshi. Mercury raced forward to meet the attack, her arms in a blocking position. Using her own momentum against the attack would further reduce the damage.

She collided with the blast and was sent skidding back a couple of yards from where she'd originally been standing, placing her more or less next to Aisu. Her gloves were charred, and part of her arms were injured, both bleeding. There was a small indentation on her tiara, but otherwise, the senshi was unharmed with the exception of her arms. She lifted herself from her kneeling position, and once again stood, walking in front of Aisu. She heard Moon's trademark speech and grinned, before waiting for her next chance to attack.

((Good idea...))  

[Solar Kitty-chan]

"Sailor Mercury!" Sailor Moon yelled as she watched her friend take the attack head on. Clenching her gloved fists, Usagi resolved to defeat Viscious no matter what the cost.  

[Mercuryangel]

Mercury gave a firm look towards Moon, before glancing back at Vicious.

"I'm fine Sailor Moon...focus on him; I can hold my own. Is your advisor with you?"

She meant Luna, but was still worried about giving away too much to Vicious. Hopefully Usagi would figure out what she meant. "Perhaps she or your other advisor can give us a hint as to who she," Mercury pointed behind her, "is."  

[Rawfully Smutty]

Because of his previous attack, Vicious found himself practically upside down when the pressurized water came to collide with his body. The water set him off balance and made Vicious fall on his back rather than his feet. The damage was done to his pride rather than his body. He was humiliated, and angered greatly by that. Standing up now, his eyes focused mostly on Aisu, then to the Senshi.

"This is becoming tiresome...I'll end it quick." His right fist was nothing but aura. This aura soon grew to a sphere of great size. As his hand rose in the air, the ball of power followed. "Face my wrath." He was ready to release his greatest attack. The power of the aura blew anything near Vicious away, the water that had collected on the armor was now gone.

It was time to step in. Suiseki couldn't stand around and look like a coward any longer. I'm gonna die... he shook the thought out before takign a deep breath. The tall visage then charged for Vicious from behind. It was time to teach the monster on how to follow its own sayings.

As his sprint continued, he hurled a fist to the back of Vicious's head. Suiseki wouldn't expect it to do much. He was trying to be a distraction, he was trying to make Vicious turn away from the Senshi.

The powerful aura faded as his body quickly twisted to see the teenager try to take him on. What a foolish attempt to hurt such a powerful creature as Vicious. His hand moved forth, grabbing hold of Suiseki's throat. "I've noticed you from long ago, are you trying to be the hero?" His grip grew stronger as he asked the questioned.

Suiseki's hands immediately grabbed onto the hand of Vicious. He could barely speak now and it wouldn't be long before he would pass out from lack of air. "You took...your attention off the enemy.." He tried to smile, though it never fully came through. As his eyes closed, a slight glow came from his forehead. The symbol of Mercury came forth for what seemed like a brief second.

As Suiseki lost consciousness, something strange occured. For an instance, Suiseki's regular clothing was replaced by a type of skintype armor. The symbol of Mercury was engraved on the chest and glowed with magnificence. A shockwave of sparkling ice water exploded from the body, pushing Vicious off of Suiseki.

Soon the armor disappeared and Suiseki fell to the floor, still unconscious.

Vicious's back was still turned to Suiseki. He was somewhat surprised to see that little burst of energy. It was probably the best time for the Senshi to attack. Vicious had no time to retaliate at the moment, his form still recovering from the attack he had just felt.  

[Mercuryangel]

Mercury wasn't sure how many more surprises she could handle in one day. The boy had powers too? And from the symbol, Mercurian...but how?! She looked at the girl behind her and mouthed the words, 'Help me.'

"Aqua Rhapsody!!"

Mercury let loose her strongest attack, hoping more to keep Vicious busy so Moon could hit him full with her own blast. She felt a pang as she saw the boy pass out; she wasn't sure why, but put it down to the fact that despite never knowing her kingdom, finding another Mercurian and seeing him hurt was a blow to the former princess nature within her.  

[Darkness Cake]

Aisu nodded and stood up, her eyes glazed over like she wasn't all there. She held out her hands and a watery bow appeared. She held it up and a watery arrow appeared as well. "Water Dragon!" The arrow flew forth, taking on the shape of a small dragon and hit Vicious in the same spot at Mercury's attack. Her eyes went back to normal and she stood in shock, not noticing the symbol of Neptune glowing for her forehead.  

[Mercuryangel]

It was an attack. The girl had unleashed an honest attack, not just a burst of energy! Mercury turned around to ask how she'd done that, and stopped when she saw the trident symbol on the girl's forehead. Ami smiled; so the girl WAS Neptunian. Her guess had been right...but who was she? Maybe Michiru would know...

"You're one of us..." Mercury said, as her tiara jewel reflected the image of Aisu's face with the glowing symbol. Realizing she was getting distracted, she turned back to face Vicious and tensed, while asking the girl, "What's your name?"  

[Solar Kitty-chan]

((Ignore this, it came too late...))  

[Darkness Cake]

Aisu looked at Mercury. "One of..." She looked at her reflection and gasped. "My...my name is Aisu."
