The Ronin Warriors and Warlords were working on a plan to divide and conquer. They had also concluded that the Forgotten Souls were needed to face this threat.
"Sage, Kale, you two will hunt down Lita and Ami. Dais, take the Sand Strikers and find Reeny and Serena. Maybe you can convince them to shed their armor." Wolfe said.
"I will try my hardest." Dais vowed.
"Sai, Sekhmet, you and Saranbo will find Raye and see what you can do about
her." he said.
"We're on it." they said.
"Kento, you will come with Ryo, Hariel, Mukara, Saber Strike, Gash, and Sun
Devil and find the Crossform Senshi. We must try to convince her to help
us." Wolfe said.
"What about me?" Rowen asked.
"You will fly around the city and be our eye in the sky." Wolfe said.
"What about me?" Anubis asked.
"I suppose you can help us take out the Crossform Senshi."
"Very well. I have been meaning to try out my newer devices."
With that, everyone scattered.
High above the city, Kale was flying, with Sage hanging on for dear life. Suddenly they were struck by lightning!
"What was that?" Kale wondered.
"Funny, lightning strikes down, not up. Let's go down and investigate."
The two landed and no sooner did they do so did Ami and Lita surround them.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't you two." Lita said, ready with her sword.
"I was waiting for you." Ami said, pushing a button that caused huge halogen
lamps to shine on the duo. Sage was soaking up the light, but Kale could
not take it.
"There is too much light for my sword to absorb. Must...break...lamps." he said.
Kale aimed his claw at the lights and fired. His claw tips destroyed the bulbs in seconds.
"You wreaked my bulbs! Mercury Ice Storm Blast!" Ami shouted.
A bolt of ice flew at Kale, freezing him solid. Suddenly, the weather became increasingly hot, causing the ice to melt!
"I almost forgot about my weather abilities." Kale said.
"I've had enough of this! Raikou...Zan!" Lita shouted, blasting Kale.
Kale absorbed the blast with his sword.
"I did not think you had realized that your armor is the Halo." Kale said.
"Jupiter Thundercrash Zap!" Lita shouted, throwing an ball of lighting at
Kale.
He simply avoided it. She fired more, but he leaped out of the way.
"Try this! Black Lighting Slash!"
The bolts failed to harm Lita.
Kayura appeared in the air.
"Kale, your powers are only as good as the amount of concentration you put
into them." she said.
"Yes. I see now." Kale said.
He began to focus deeper than he ever had before. His kanji appeared on his forehead.
"Black Lighting Slash!" Kale shouted.
The lighting bolts found their mark and sent Lita flying.
"How..." Lita wondered.
She had no time to figure this out before Ami too was nailed by a bolt from Sage's weapon.
"Finally, we are able to harm them!" Sage exclaimed.
Lita charged Kale with her sword, but Kale quickly disarmed her. Ami attempted to do the same to Sage, but he got her.
"They're becoming able to harm us! We better get out of here!" Lita shouted.
The two teleported away.
Meanwhile, Sai and his group were getting their butts kicked by Raye.
"Say good-bye to your precious armors! Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen! Akuryo, Taisan!"
A flurry of thousands of ofudas flew at the three. Sekhmet's kanji appeared on his forehead and four more arms appeared. He grabbed his swords and in no time flat he had destroyed every last one. As Raye wondered how he had done it so quickly, Sai grabbed her with his staff and sent her flying off the bridge they were on and into the sea. Sai put on his face plate and he and the others wasted no time swan diving into the water. They landed on the bottom.
"I can't believe you fools got me all wet! I'm outta here!" Raye shouted.
She tried to escape, but Saranbo entangled her in seaweed.
"Good job Saranbo. Now it is my turn." Sekhmet said.
He placed his swords in front of himself, and grabbed one.
"Snake...Fang...Strike!" He shouted.
His whip of energy slammed into Raye and she began to scream in pain due to his poison's increased potency in water.
"Give it up, Sailor Mars." Sekhmet said.
"Never!" Raye vowed.
Meanwhile, Dais had found the two children of the moon. He wasted no time enveloping them in his illusions and his steady banter.
"Serena, Reeny. You have no need for the crystals you now wear. They are
the epiphany of evil, they go against everything you believe in. Give them
to us, and we will free you from this curse." Dais said.
"But why?" Reeny asked.
"Because as Sailors Moon and Chibi-Moon, you fight for love and justice.
With the crystals, you fight for the evil wrath of the Crystónin Armors."
His illusions showed them what they might become if they kept the crystals. As he spoke, the two Sand Strikers began to sneak up on the girls. Only a few more minutes of enveloping them in his web of trivia would be necessary to get them in range.
"So, give us your crystals, and you shall regain your old ways." Dais said.
"Fine. We'll give up the crystals." Serena said.
"Excellent." Dais said.
The crystals were reformed as the armor's vanished.
"Now Sand Strikers!"
The two emerged from the ground and restrained Serena and Reeny. Dais fired his extensor blades, plucking the two crystals from their chests and bringing them to him.
"Thank you so much." Dais said.
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" Reeny shouted, breaking free long enough to
nail Dais, knocking the crystals out of his hands.
Reeny dove for the crystals, but Dais used his morning star to knock her away.
"Web of Deception!" he shouted, entangling Reeny once more. Serena used those seconds to regain her own crystal.
"Shinkuu...Ha!" she shouted, blasting Dais once more.
As this was going on, a mysterious hand took the other crystal. In seconds Dais was nailed by stones.
"You have not yet faced our wrath!" the warrior said. The Crystónin Hardrock armor was deactivated for a second, and she was in a sailor fuku. A sword appeared in the hand of the user.
"Space Sword...Blaster!" she shouted, whacking Dais with her sword.
"It's Sailor Uranus!" Serena exclaimed.
The armor reformed itself. The Sand Strikers came up from the ground behind her, but she whacked them with her staff. She spun around.
"World...Shaking!" she shouted, slamming her hand into the ground, sending an orb of energy flowing along the ground which slammed into the Sand Strikers, nailing them. However, they simply turned to dust, only to reform. Dais and the Sand Strikers fled.
"How did you find us?" Serena asked.
"My powers led me to that crystal, and I took it. When I did, my powers as
Sailor Uranus became incredibly more powerful." Haruka explained.
"I want my crystal back!" Reeny protested.
"Do not worry, we will find one for you."
Meanwhile, Gash and his many allies were searching for the Crossform Senshi.
"Are you sure we're in the right place?" Ryo asked.
"Trust me. She came this way." Gash responded.
"Right you are." a voice said.
The group turned around, only to be blasted by the Crossform Senshi!
"When will you fools learn to stay out of this! This is my fight!" she said.
"We only want to help you! Will you let us?" Ryo asked.
"Never! I would rather destroy you!" she shouted.
With that she removed her staff and split it in two, and proceeded to nail all of them with her sticks.
"That does it." Ryo shouted, removing his swords.
He charged her, but her sticks were like steel. She parried him and then nailed him with a powerful kick that sent him flying. Sun Devil and Saber Strike also readied their swords and charged, only to be knocked away. Kento stepped forward.
"Iron Rock Crusher!" he shouted, sending stones flying at her.
She reformed her staff, only to split it into a three-section staff like Kento's and whipped the stones right back at him.
"Uh oh." Kento said as the stones prepared to crush him.
Saber Strike suddenly leaped through the air and sliced the stone in two. Sun Devil did the same to another. Hariel destroyed the rest with Dark Inferno's weapons.
"Stay here." he commanded the armor.
As you request.
Hariel charged the Crossform Senshi, who reformed her staff and made her twin sticks once more and dueled with him. She blasted him with an energy bolt, sending him flying.
"I've had enough of this." Hariel said. He leaped back into Dark Inferno.
Mukara prepared his boomerang. Saber Strike went airborne. Sun Devil prepared to attack. Hariel and Ryo placed their swords hilt to hilt. Anubis began twirling his kama. Kento began spinning his staff. They all prepared to nail her with everything they had when a phone rang.
"Where is that coming from?" Sun Devil wondered.
Everyone began looking around for the source of the noise when they realized it was coming from Anubis.
"Um, Anubis, your gauntlet's ringing." Ryo said.
Anubis promptly removed his right gauntlet and pulled an antenna from the part proximal to his hand. He then placed it up to his ear and began talking into it as if it was a phone.
"Hello? Oh, it's you Kayura...yes we're on for tomorrow night...You really
got me at a bad time...We're working with the Crossform Senshi...No it's
not what you think...honest...we're trying to convince her to go with us...Wait,
bad choice of words..."
"Anubis has a girlfriend." Kento began to sing. Soon everyone chimed in.
"Will you shut up! No, not you Kayura...I'll call later." He hung up his
gauntlet.
"So, why are you on for tomorrow night?" Kento asked.
"Because I am going to show her how to unlock the full power of her armor."
"So it's a date." Ryo deduced.
"No, it is not a date!" Anubis protested.
"Enough of this sentimental crap!" the Crossform Senshi shouted.
She blasted them all with energy bolts, knocking them down.
"Where were we?" Hariel wondered.
In seconds the group had repositioned themselves to blast the Crossform Senshi to kingdom come.
"Rage of the Dark Inferno!" Hariel shouted.
"Sen...Kou...Zan!" Mukara shouted, throwing his boomerang, which was now
glowing with pure fire.
"Tomb of Black Ice!" Sun Devil shouted, surrounding the Crossform Senshi
within a huge block of ice.
"Winged Angel of Death!" Saber Strike shouted, blasting her with everything
he had.
"Flare Up...Now!" Ryo shouted.
"Iron Rock Crusher!" Kento yelled.
All these attacks struck the Crossform Senshi. When the smoke cleared, she was still there, and boy, was she mad.
"You all will die!" She shouted.
