The bunny finally revived! *Cheers happily* Oh, I do hate writer’s block…
Pika-chan: Join me in some chocolate cake!
Phantomness: Will it help me write?
Pika-chan: No, but it’ll give you an excuse to not write!
Chapter 10: Flames of Passion
The next day, Charlotte arrived on her Pidgeot and they began a discussion. Charlotte offered to help them with the problem, but wasn’t quite sure how to approach it. That was when Winfield showed up and declared her Sailor Flareon, handing her a red pen.
“Talking Umbreons?”
Lance glared at Winfield. “We need to talk.”
He dragged the Umbreon outside and calmly proceeded to coerce, threaten, and otherwise impose the right of privacy.
Ash looked serene when Lance came back, suspecting what had happened.
“So.” Charlotte said, looking at the strange pen. “What’s this for?”
“I assume you shout Mars Planet Power and something happens.”
“…I don’t see, but I’ll try it.”
No sooner had the words left her mouth, before the poor girl transformed.
A red fuku with light orange bows, red high heels, choker, and tiara stone. Flame-shaped earrings. The gloves went up to her elbows as well, solid red. Around her waist was a chain of gold.
“Is this standard?”
“Afraid so.” Ashline said mournfully.
“So, what’s this for?”
Charlotte changed back, her pen also shifting into a key.
“Long story. We have to save earth from monsters and find some princess.”
“Sounds fun.”
“You have no idea…”
“But that still doesn’t explain the key change.”
“Maybe it does. Lance, you are a Dragon Master. So you had powers before you used that mask to transform. And Ashline was on her way to become a Eevee Master, while I’m just a Fire Master.”
“So…”
“A melding of power.”
“That actually makes sense… we’ll just leave it at that then.”
“I guess I’ll be here until we find this princess. It wouldn’t make sense for all the senshi to be apart.”
The group nodded.
T-minus 4 days later…
“Help! A monster is eating all of my milk cows!” A frantic farmer yelled. “Without Moomoo milk, I’ll go broke!”
Charlotte looked over at the others. “Is that?”
“Yes. Let’s go.”
The four transformed, after using Espeon to teleport to the farm.
The monster was a huge puddle of lava.
“Eeww…” Misty said. “Well, this should be my field then. Mermaid’s Enchantment!”
The notes bounced off.
“Maybe not.” Garina told her. “Silence Blast!”
Still, there was no effect.
“I guess I could try mine,” Charlotte said, taking off the chain. “Binding Flames!”
The chain wrapped around the monster, trying to choke it, but nothing happened just the same.
Ash got annoyed and just threw her tiara/boomerang.
That was when the monster ate it.
Stunned silence enveloped the group.
“That can happen?”
“Well, it never happened before…” Ash said nervously. “And I can’t do Moonlight Flash without my tiara either.”
“I’m calling Lance. We need backup.” Misty said, taking out her cell phone and dialing.
Lance was there in a few minutes, as his dragons attacked with a variety of water moves. There seemed to be no change though.
“What is this?”
From a convenient portal, Articuno2 watched.
Yes, it was sweet… revenge…
“You can’t deal with my lava spirit? Hahahaha! It shall be your death, sailor senshi!”
Oh yes, he was very pleased. Articuno2 yawned and went to bed, asleep.
“This is getting us nowhere!”
Misty tried Mermaid’s enchantment again, to the same result. Were they really stuck now?
That would really be awful.
And that was when the gigantic lightning bolt hit the monster in the head, making it spit out the tiara.
Lance opened his eyes and grinned. “Weather manipulation, anyone?” Silver irises twinkled madly.
Next, it began to hail. The monster roared, but the hail turned to water and began dampening it. A lot…
“Mermaid’s Enchantment!” Misty cried again. The notes buzzed and spun around the monster, as Ashline’s boomerang knocked it upside the head.
Thus, the monster was defeated.
“That was on a significantly higher level.” Garina muttered after they had gone ‘home’.
“True.’
“I guess if this is an RPG, it has to get harder.”
“Can’t say we like it though.”
