Episode 16:
An Unamusing Trip

     "So Jedite, how are we going to try to destroy the Sailor Brats today?"  Rubeus asked.
     "I thought you'd never ask.  You see, I predicted they'd take a field trip to the local amusement park and I have sent my agent.  Tidal, report!"
     A woman with flowing blue - black hair appeared.
     "You summoned me master?"  Tidal asked.
     "What do you have to report?"
     "The psycho - drome ride is in place and the weather witches are making it very cold and stormy, though the main front won't be in place for many hours."
     "That's enough Tidal  Return to your post."
     "Yes sir."
     With those words Tidal vanished into a mist.  Jedite turned to Rubeus and said, "I hope this plan works.  Tidal is one of my best generals and I doubt she'll fail in her mission."
     "For your sake she had better not,"  Rubeus said, "the wise man is not pleased with all our failures."
     Jedite turned and clenched his fist, thinking, "Tidal had better not fail!"

     "Miss H, how ever did you convince the school board to let us come to the amusement park on a field trip?"  Tod asked as a large group of students hiked to the amusement park.
     "She told the principal we were going to study the mechanics of the rides,"  Serena said.
     "Well, I do have my ways,"  Miss H said, brushing some stray hairs from her face, "besides, he owed me a favor."
     "So, where is everyone going to head once we reach the park?"  a familiar voice said from the back.  Everyone turned around and came face to face with a blue haired girl and another girl with ankle length silver hair pulled up in a bun.
     "Michelle, Crystal, what are you doing here?"  Dan asked.
     "We were in town and thought we'd see the class,"  Crystal said, "the principal said you'd gone to the amusement park for the day so here we are."
     "Well, the more the merrier,"  Melvin said, "are you girls going to hang around with me and Molly?"
     "No way Melvin,"  Molly said, "they'd much rather hang out with their friends.  Besides, I want you all to myself."
     Melvin turned bright red, his eyes turning to hearts and him day dreaming of he and Molly on the tunnel of love ride.
     "We're here!"  Miss H called from the front.  Everyone stopped and looked as the amusement park unfolded before their eyes.  Once they were inside, most of the students went their own ways, but the Senshi and Warriors remained together.
     "So, where are we off to first?"  Mina asked.
     "Psycho - drome!"  everyone exclaimed.
     "Um, where is the psycho - drome?"  Crystal asked.
     "I believe it's at the other end of the park,"  Darren said, pointing in the general direction of a large dome.
     "That must be miles away!"  Serena exclaimed.
     "Two point five, to be exact,"  Ami beamed.
     "It'll take us forever to get there!"  Matt said.
     "Not if we use scout power,"  Alex said, "Serena, didn't you create ice skates on your boots one time?"
     "Yeah, but I'm not sure how I did it,"  Serena said.
     "We have to try,"  Dan said, "Otherwise it'll take us too long to hike there."
     "Let's transform,"  Richard said, taking out his transformation pen.  The others followed in suite.
     "Arctic Chill Nova Power!"
     "Saturn Nova Power!"
     "FireStar Nova Power!"
     "Thunderbolt Nova Power!"
     "Hellfire Nova Power!"
     "Night Eclipse Power!"
     "Solar Nova Power!"
     "Callisto Moon Power.... "
     "Neptune Crystal Power... "
     "Moon Crisis Power.... "
     "Mercury Crystal Power.... "
     "Mars Crystal Power... "
     "Jupiter Crystal Power... "
     "Venus Crystal Power.... "
     "MAKE UP!!!"
     Once they had transformed they lept into the air.  On their way back to the ground each had a pair of roller blades appear on their boots and pads appear on their bodies.  Once they were on the ground they skated for all they were worth.
     As they moved through the park they had to dodge and maneuver out of the way.  At one point they reached a large line of people.  Alex, Dan, and Matt stopped and prepared for an ally - oop maneuver BR>     "First up!"  Matt called, readying his hands to receive a foot.
     "Here I come,"  Serena said, skating at top speed.  She lept into the air and Matt caught her foot.  He then heaved her through the air, clearing the line while stunning everyone with her acrobatics.  Once she touched down she gave a whistle for the next person.
     "Next up,"  Dan called, preparing to give someone a lift.
     "That's me,"  Tod said, skating at his top speed.  He lept into the air, performed a forward flip, and positioned his foot so it would land in Dan's waiting hands.  Once his foot touched down Dan heaved Tod higher into the air.  Tod spiraled over people's heads and ultimately landed safely.  He gave his own signal for others to come.
     "Let's go for a triple!"  Alex said.
     "Yeah, that might get us there quicker,"  Matt said.
     "Here we come!"  Lita, Mina, and Crystal said, linking hands.  They came at Matt, Dan, and Alex at their top speed.  They lept through the air and the three warriors caught and lobbed Lita, Mina, and Crystal over the crowed.  The three Senshi amazed the crowed with their agility and once they had landed they signaled to the remainder of the group.
     "Why don't we try a continuous stream now?"  Matt asked.
     "Let's do it!"  Michelle said, taking off at top speed.  Darren, Steve, Rei, and Ami followed her.  One by one they were lobbed over the crowed, each performing some sort of acrobatic trick before landing.  Once the remainder had gone over the group Dan skated up to top speed and Matt sent him over.  Matt skated up to top speed and Alex sent him over.  Alex, on the other hand, reached beneath his armor and took a gold ring from the hidden cache.  He held it in the air, feeling the energy flow through his body.  He skated at a wicked high speed and super - jumped into the air, performing multiple tricks before landing on a single skate.  His performance received applause from the crowed.  After taking a bow he took off to find the others.
     After a couple minutes more of skating they were stopped by the park's police.
     "Ok skate punks,"  the fat officer said, "I'm going to have to ask you to leave the park."
     "In order to make us leave you'll have to catch us first,"  Alex said, taking a second ring from beneath his armor, "Everyone, link hands and hold on!!"
     The minute they linked hands Alex held the ring to the sky.  Energy flowed through him and he took off at top speed with everyone else in tow.
     Once they reached the psycho - drome it was a matter of stopping.  Alex managed to stop on a dime, but the others continued in their forward path.  Unfortunately Alex forgot to release the others and ended up in the pile of contorted bodies.
     "Ow,"  Rei moaned, "I wish the person with their foot in my ear would kindly remove it!"
     "Will someone please remove their knee from my throat,"  Darren coughed.
     "I feel like I'm part of some twisted puzzle,"  Crystal said.
     Confusion ensued as the group tried to untangle their bodies.  Once that was accomplished they made the blades and pads disappear.  Ami then activated her VR visor and scanned the ride.
     "This is peculiar,"  she commented, "there is some sort of brain washing device inside the ride."
     "I believe this calls for the Warriors and the Senshi,"  Steve said.
     Crystal wasn't paying attention to the conversation because she was looking at how ominous the sky was becoming.  Once there was a pause in the conversation she said, "I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but look at the sky."
     They all looked skyward and saw thick, black clouds forming over the park.  At the same time the rumble of thunder filled the air.
     "Why do I get the feeling the Negaverse is involved here?"  Tod said.
     As he uttered those words the wind began to pick up until it reached gale force.  A tornado funnel surrounded them and tossed them into the air.  As they spun, Alex created a cloak of sorts, which he wrapped around his body.  He also activated his visor so he could locate Crystal and keep the dust and debris out of his eyes.  Once he located Crystal he rescued her and pulled her close, enveloping her in the cloak.
     As they spun on the brink of chaos Dan reached out and grasped Serena's hand.  Serena managed to snag Tod as he flew by, who managed to catch hold of Rei, who caught Steve, who captured Lita, and so on until they formed a human chain.  Alex and Crystal, being in the position they were in, managed to catch hold of Darren and Michelle, completing a circle.  Once this was accomplished they concentrated, calling out their power until they all said at the same time, "Sailor Planet Power!"
     The energy blast neutralized the tornado and sent the Senshi and Warriors plummeting to the ground.
     As they fell to the ground the Warrior's armors underwent an awesome transformation.  Wings and jet packs materialized.  From the gauntlets smaller stabilizer wings appeared.  Their visors materialized and formed full face plates.  But what happened to Warrior Night was even more amazing, for his shirt became black armor with a large orange star burst.  He received twin gauntlets of black with orange stones and gold trim, plus a sword with a black, orange, and gold hilt and a golden blade.  He then, too, received wings, etc.  Once this transformation occurred, the Warriors flew down and caught the Senshi in mid fall.  Once they touched down their armor returned to normal, except now Warrior Night's armor stayed.
     "Wow,"  Darren said, "I finally received my armor."
     "That armor is seriously bitchin!"  Dan said.
     "Um, guys, I hate to break this up, but we're next in line for the ride,"  Serena said.
     They all turned to face the large gaping mouth which was the entrance to the ride.  They returned to their mortal forms, activated their visors, swallowed their fear, and entered the ride.  As they entered, the doors swung shut and spot lights came on, blinding them for a second.  They looked past the lights to see a ride called the Scrambler with a rotating light display in the center.
     Each of them went to a car, got in, strapped in, and waited.  A couple seconds later a blue - haired woman walked to the center of the floor and said, "Welcome to the psycho - drome.  Sit back, relax, and give your energy to the Negaforce!!"
     As she said the last line she vanished and the ride began, spinning at faster and faster speeds.  The lights began to flash in special sequences, which would have brain washed any normal person.  But the Senshi were strong against the brain wash.  The ride spun faster and faster still.  Each of the Senshi and Warriors kicked back and let the wind blow through their hair, all shrieking with glee and giving war whoops.  They weren't aware, though, of those watching from a distance.

     "Jedite, I thought you said this brain washing trick would work on all of the students!"  Rubeus bellowed as he watched the Senshi and Warriors enjoying the ride.
     "It was supposed to work on everyone!"  Jedite said, fear filling his icy blue eyes.
     "Apparently you have failed!"
     "No, this was just the first part of my plan.  With all those we drained and brain washed, we have enough energy to release the Weather Beast!"
     "So, what are you waiting for!?  Tell Tidal to release the beast!!"
     "Yes Rubeus,"  Jedite said, turning to a mirror, "Tidal, after this group leaves release the Weather Beast!"
     "Yes master,"  Tidal said before transforming to her Negaverse form.

     As the ride spun down, the Senshi and Warriors released their final whoops and waited and waited for the ride to come to a full and complete stop.  They kept passing the woman in the control booth and on one pass they saw her transform into a Negaverse monster.  When the woman became a monster, she switched the ride up to full power before leaving.  Outside there was a loud crash of thunder, which shook the entire dome and brought debris crashing down upon the ride.
     Once the debris began to fall the unfortunate teens did not have a prayer.  At least until Alex called upon his reserves.  He positioned his hands into the shape of a triangle and aimed for the sky.  At the same time he shouted, "Varia Cannon Fire!"
     A beam in the shape of a triangular prism fired from his hands, repelling the debris and at the same time repairing the roof.  With this accomplished it was going to be another thing to get free of the ride.
     After twenty more minutes of whirling Serena announced, "I'm gonna be sick!"
     "We could use some help here!"  Dan exclaimed.  As if on cue five forms dropped from the skylight and proceeded to remedy the situation.
     "Time Stop!"
     Warrior Pluto's power spread throughout the park, freezing time for up to two minutes.  With this accomplished Warriors Earth, Neptune, and Uranus helped the others out of the ride.  Once everyone was free Warrior Pluto restarted time.
     "What the hell happened here?"  Warrior Neptune demanded.
     "One second we're enjoying the ride,"  Steve said, "the next a Negaverse monster bursts out of the roof and leaves us here."
     "I don't like this,"  Warrior Nova said, "the weather is getting colder and the wind is kicking up!"
     "Um, guys,"  Warrior Uranus said, "that Negaverse monster is riding some sort of beast and they're draining the rest of the class!"
     "That's the last straw!"  Lita said, "Let's kick some Negaverse butt.  Jupiter Crystal Power... Make UP!!"
     Lightning bolts erupted from Lita's wand, wrapping around her body and forming her Sailor fuku.  When she came out of her transformation she was Sailor Jupiter.
     "I'm with Jupiter,"  Rei said, "Mars Crystal Power... "
     "Venus Crystal Power.... "
     "Moon Crisis Power... "
     "Mercury Crystal Power... "
     "Callisto Moon Power.... "
     "Neptune Crystal Power... "
     "MAKE UP!!!"
     One by one the Sailor Senshi transformed until only the Warriors remained to transform.
     "Let's do this for our friends,"  Matt said, "Hellfire Nova Power... "
     "Thunderbolt Nova Power.... "
     "FireStar Nova Power... "
     "Arctic Chill Nova Power... "
     "Saturn Nova Power... "
     "Solar Nova Power.... "
     "Night Eclipse Power... "
     "TRANSFORM!!!"
     Once all had transformed, they left the psycho - drome to go save the class.  Once outside they witnessed something like they had never seen before:  a giant beast made of elements and a water - based female riding it.
     "Guys,"  Alex said, "this does not look good!"
 Just then five more familiar forms dropped from the sky, not far from where the Senshi and Warriors were standing.  These figures were clad in full body armor and each took their own weapons from their sub space pockets and prepared to do battle.
     When the Senshi and Warriors saw who had come to join them they exclaimed, "It's the original warriors!"
     "That's us,"  Warrior Jupiter said, "who were you expecting??  The Bionic Six?"
     "Let's toast this weather witch!"  Warrior Venus said, pointing his star staff at Tidal, "Venus Melt My Heart Strike!"
     Chains of hearts lept from the stone set in the head of his staff.  The chains wrapped around both Tidal and the Weather Beast.  At the same time Warrior Jupiter took his pike and changed it into a type of chain and sickle.  He cracked it like a whip and the chain wrapped around the Weather Beast and Tidal also.  With this accomplished he called upon his power.
     "Jupiter Plasma Bolt Chain!"
     Warrior Jupiter also used this power to wrap up the Weather Beast and Tidal.  With three things holding Tidal and the Weather Beast, Warrior Saturn produced two boomerangs of violet energy.  He then hurled them through the air.
     "Twin Boomerangs Combine!"
 A thin beam of energy joined the two boomerangs together, forming a sort of bolo.  With this accomplished he summoned the second part of his attack.
     "Crescent Bolo Capture!"
 The bolo wrapped around Tidal until she was firmly pressed to the back of the Weather Beast.  But she had one more trick up her sleeve.  With a crash of thunder and a bolt of lightning she shattered her bonds and blasted the Senshi and Warriors.  As soon as the Senshi and Warriors recovered they drew their weapons and prepared to do battle.
     "Let's do this one more time!"  Warrior Mars said, taking out his flame bow, "Mars Flame Sniper!"
     Warrior Mars' arrow flew sure and true, but was snuffed out by a downpour of rain.  The rain soon turned to grape fruit sized hail.
     "This isn't good!"  Warrior Saturn said, his left arm above his head.  All of a sudden his left gauntlet glowed, a large bar extending from inside.  The bar spun around, forming a shield of black and violet with gold trim.  The shield deflected the stones.  At the same time the Saturn symbol on the shield glowed and released a wave cannon attack which melted all the hail before it could reach the ground.
     When Tidal saw how Warrior Saturn deflected the hail she had the beast summon a fierce wind.  The wind was the hot desert wind, which stung and burned the unprotected.  Each of the Warriors shielded their faces and in a few seconds each had received a shield.  As the winds beat down upon them they built up and prepared for attack.
     "Sun,"  Warrior Saturn said, "use your solar flare tow blind her for a couple seconds."
     "Right,"  Warrior Sun said, placing his hands, spread fingered, in front of his face. He then shouted, "Solar Flare!"
     There was an intense flash of light which lit the sky like a thousand suns and blinded both Tidal and the Weather Beast.  Once the two were blinded the Senshi and Warriors moved in to attack.
     "First things first,"  Warrior Saturn said, "Mars, stun it!"
     "Right,"  both Sailor and Warrior Mars said, each taking a scroll from their pouches, "We call upon the powers of Mars.  Fireballs.... CHARGE!!"
     Two scrolls flew through the air, one stunning Tidal and one stunning the Weather Beast.  With the two forces stunned, it was up to some to restrain them.
     "Venus, Jupiter, Nova, secure them!"  Sailor Moon commanded.
     "Will do!"  Warriors Nova, Jupiter, and Venus said.
     "Jupiter Plasma Bolt Chain!"
     "Venus Melt My Heart Strike!"
     "Rainbow Borialis Catch!"
     The assorted restraints restricted any and all movement of Tidal and of the Weather Beast.  With the twin terrors helpless, the senshi had clear shots.

"Mars Napalm Bolo Engulf!"
"Moon Princess Hallation!"
"Burning Mandala!"
"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!"
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
"Sparkling Wide Pressure!"
"Nitro Bubbles Blast!"
"Venus Love Me Chain!"
"Spinning Shards!"
"Deep Submerge!"
"Silence Glaive Apply!"
"Blazing Blade Boomerang!"
"T - Bolt Wave!"
"Nova Bomb!"
"Glacial Freeze!"
"Dead Scream."
"Space Sword Blaster!"
"Neptune Tidal Blast!"
"Iron Rock Crusher!"
"Arrow Flare!"
     As the attacks struck, an energy build up began to form.  Warrior Night, sensing this, used his computer to erect a dampening field.  At that same time he took a small green capsule from his tool belt and hurled it through the air at the two monsters.  The capsule exploded, creating a sort of gravity bomb which crushed both of the monsters.  But somehow they knew their power alone wouldn't be enough.
     Just as the Warriors and Senshi were about to give up hope, two girls with raven hair dropped from the sky, landing back to back.  They spoke a combined intro.
     "She commands wind... "
     "She controls pressure... "
     "I'm Sailor Phobos... "
     "I'm Sailor Deimos... "
     "And we're the Sailor Guardians!"
     Once they completed their introduction they lept into the air and proceeded to attack.
     "Phobos Shockwave Strike!"
     Sailor Phobos flapped her arms, creating twin pockets of high pressure.  She grasped hold of them and slammed them together in front of her body, creating a sort of sonic boom which came close to finishing the deadly duo.
     "Deimos Tornado Strike!"
     Sailor Deimos began to spin around until she was surrounded by a tornado funnel.  She took the funnel and hefted it above her head.  She then threw it at Tidal and the Weather Beast.  Though on most days this would have destroyed the twin terrors, Deimos's attack shattered the bonds, causing the frozen duo to crash to the pavement.  When the block struck it shattered, freeing Tidal and the Weather Beast.
     When Warrior Saturn saw that the terrible two had been freed his eyes glowed blood red.  The same thing happened to Warriors Sun, Pluto, and Uranus.  In a matter of seconds their dark powers manifested and magnified their own powers ten fold.
     "Let's toast this turkey!"  Warrior Nega - Fire said, taking his star sword from its scabbard.
     "I'm with you,"  Warrior Fading Light said, taking his space sword from its catch on his belt.
     "Let's send them away,"  Warrior Black Lightning said, taking his staff from its sub space pocket and pointing the stone at the terrible two.
     "Let's freeze them in a solid block of black ice,"  Warrior Dark Water said, taking out his ice bow.
     "You will never defeat me!"  Tidal taunted as the Weather Beast took to the sky.
     "Yeah we will!"  Warrior Nega - Fire said, "Flare Slash!"
     Dark flames erupted from his sword.  He then slashed the blade downward, releasing a continuous beam of ice - fire.
     "Gravity Beam Fire!"
     Warrior Fading Light lept into the air and slashed downward, releasing a beam of energy which shook up Tidal and the Weather Beast.
     "Black Lightning Strike!"
     The orb in the end of Warrior Black Lightning's staff glowed and eiry green before releasing bolt after bolt of black lightning, which wrapped around Tidal and the Weather Beast.
     "Glacial Arrow Freeze!"
     Warrior Dark Water's arrow struck the Weather Beast in the wing, piercing it and freezing the duo solid  As the Dark Warriors were about to destroy the twin terrors, two figures clad in warrior armor dropped from the sky.
     "X - beam Cut!!"
     One figure was back lit by a giant X.  The figure took two swords and crossed them to form an X.  The figure then slashed the swords through the air, releasing two beams of energy which slashed through the twin terrors in an X - shaped pattern.  This attack began the end of Tidal and the Weather Beast.
     "Moon Sabre - Riot Blade!"
     Rings of energy fired from the blade of the second figure, bringing an explosive end to the deadly duo. With Tidal and the Weather Beast destroyed the sky cleared, the wind ceased, and the temperature shot back up into the 80's.  The Warriors and the Senshi reverted back to their human forms and were joined by Sailors Phobos and Deimos and the two unknown warriors.
     "Who are you guys?"  Serena asked.
     "I'm Sailor Phobos, also known as... " Phobos said, transforming into a girl with shoulder length dark hair pulled into a top knot, "Alyssa Summers."
     "I'm Sailor Deimos, also known as... " Deimos said, also transforming into a girl with shoulder length hair, this time pulled back into a pony tail, "Allison Winters."
     "I'm Warrior X,"  the first armor clad person said.  There was a flash of dark colored light and there stood a guy with 2 tone hair, the outlines of a beard around his face, and a silver ring high up in his left ear, "I'm also known as Jordan Hill,"  he finished.
     "And lastly I'm Warrior Moon,"  the second armor clad person said.  There was an explosion of crescent moons and there stood a man  with short, dirty blond hair, a square jaw, and muscles bursting out of his tight t - shirt, "I'm also known as Mike Garvey."
     "They're dreamy!"  Serena, Rei, Mina, and Lita said at the same time, their eyes turning to hearts.
     "Um, Serena,"  Ami said, "you're drooling."
     "Bligh don gare,"  Serena slurred, drool pouring from her mouth as she took in all of Mike's and Jordan's curves.
     "C'mon meat ball head,"  Derek and Joss said, lifting Serena above their heads and carrying her away, "Miss H is waiting for us."
     "Thanks for the assist,"  Alex said, "perhaps we'll meet again some time soon."
     "You sure will,"  Alyssa said, "We're in Haruna's class."
     Sweat drops formed on everyone's heads.  They continued on their way to join up with Haruna, who was somewhat furious when the park officials declared it was time to close.

     "Jedite, Tidal failed, correct!?"  Rubeus demanded.
     "Yes Rubeus, Tidal failed and we lost a great warrior in her,"  Jedite said, bowing his head.
     "Pray the wise man does not wish to have you sealed in a dark crystal again!"
     "Ok, with the new plan I have, the wise man will with u into a dark crystal,"  Jedite thought to himself, "Once I steal magicite I will be able to defeat Warrior Saturn himself!"

     On the walk back to the school, Alex was talking with Derek, Tony, and Joss.  One of his major questions was how they became warriors.
     "Well, it's like this,"  Derek said, "Star came to us because he thought you were in trouble.  He produced three transformation pens and in a matter of seconds we had become Warriors."
     Just then they heard Rei's voice from the front of the group.  Rei's voice was followed by Mina's, then Lita's, then Serena's, and eventually Ami bellowed back.
     "What do you think that's all about?"  Joss asked.  He got his answer soon enough when a baseball flew through the air and struck him between the eyes.  As he fell down, Ami shouted, "I'm so sorry!!"

The End.
