Chapter 11

	Climbing down the cliffs of Rivillion, Shayla Shayla and Sailor 
Jupiter scanned the cliff face where they saw the Bugrom tracks.  The
two 
saw that the tracks went all the way to the bottom of the chasm.  Shayla 
Shayla yelled down to Jupiter, trying to be heard over the moaning wind.

	"NO ONE HAS BEEN DOWN THIS FAR BEFORE!!!"  Shayla yelled, "I HAVE NO 
IDEA WHAT WE'LL FIND DOWN HERE!!!"

	"AS LONG AS IT'S SETSUNA'S STAFF, I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT ELSE WE'LL 
FIND!!!" Makoto yelled back, "SAVE YOUR BREATH FOR CLIMBING.  IT'S KIND
OF 
HARD TO TALK YELLING AT EACH OTHER AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS!!!!"

	Shayla just nodded and the two girls proceeded on down the cliff face.  
They finally reached the bottom of the crevasse.  The area down in the
chasm 
was covered in a somewhat murky light and the howling wind had faded. 
Since 
the sun could only penetrate this far down during the noon hours, a
forest 
had arisen down here with trees that gave off a phosphorescent glow. 
Shayla 
examined the forest and smirked.

	"So this is Jinnai's new hangout," Shayl muttered

	Makoto scanned the cliff face where the Bugrom tracks were and saw 
that they went into the forest.  Sighing, she motioned for Shayla to
follow 
her.  The fire priestess nodded and followed the green clad Senshi.  The
two 
girls stealthily creeped through the glowing woods.  The two girls heard 
maniacal laughing come from  up ahead.  Looking at each other, Shayla
and 
Makoto snuck a bit closer, trying to overhear what was being said.

	"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Those foolish priestesses and my idiot teacher can 
never make it down here.  It would take at least a Demon-god to get to
us 
now, and by the time she got through that mess she would be almost 
completely ran down, easy to get control of.  Either way, all I have to
do 
is wait," said a voice that Shayla recognized as Jinnai.

	A female voice piped up, "I am impressed, Mr. Jinnai.  We have a new 
base in whcih we can conquer the allied kingdoms and if you're correct
we 
will have a new weapon to be used against them."

	Jinnai started ranting again, "This time, Mizuhara I will be 
victorious, and there's nothing you can do about it."

	Makoto looked over at Shayla and whispered, "Is he always like that?"

	"Yes," Shayla said, "I think it's time to go get that stafff back, 
don't you?"

	Jupiter nodded, whilke she crept closer.  Once she saw where the staff 
was and where all her opponents were, she opened her right hand.  A
glowing 
green stylized 4 appeared in Sailor Jupiter's hand and energy rolled
around 
it.

	"JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!!" Sailor Jupiter yelled while spinning like a 
top.

	Lighting formed around Jupiter ans shot towards the various Bugrom, 
missing Diva and Jinnai.  The lightning display caught Jinnai
flatfooted.  
Shayla quickly ran forwards and snatched up the staff and hit Jinnai
over 
the head with it, knocking him out.  She looked at Diva and gave her a 
wicked grin.  Diva backed up, not wanting to risk a fight with the fire 
priestess.  Making sure Diva wouldn't follow, Shayla Shayla went over to 
Sailor Jupiter, who by now had zorched quite a few Bugrom. 

	"We've got what we came for.  Let's get out of here," Shayla said.

	Nodding, Sailor Jupiter joined her and they both ran for the fold in 
the cliff.  The two girls quickly made it back to the cliff face that
they 
had climbed down.  Taking a look around to make sure that the Bugrom
were 
not around, the duo used the handholds created by Makoto's Supreme
Thunder 
to climb back up the cliff face.

	Back at the Bugrom camp, Jinnai had woken up, about ten minutes after 
being clonked on the head. As he recalled the fight he figured out who
had 
attacked him and his Bugrom.

	"That was Sailor Jupiter.  What was she doing here?"  Jinnai wondered 
aloud, "If she was one of the girls that had accompanied that new
Demon-god, 
could...."

	Jinnai's speech trailed off as he recalled the only Sailor Senshi to 
ever weild a staff.  He grinned as he realised who the new Demon-god
was.  
Looking around, he noticed that his troops had recovered from jupiter's 
attack.

	"Follow those two girls and get that staff back!!  Once I have it and 
her, I'll be able to use her to control time itself!!"  Jinnai yelled.

	Quenn Diva came up to Jinnai and asked, "Who is Sailor Jupiter, Mister 
Jinnai?"

	"She's from an anime in my world called Sailor Moon.  It appears that 
the new Demon-god is also a Sailor Senshi as well.  Her main power was 
control over time itself.  With her, I can rewrite the history of
El-Hazard 
and have control of not only her, but Ifurita as well," Jinnai ranted

	Jinnai quickly leaped on top of Groucho's back and yelled at the 
Bugrom, "Come on, faster! We don't want ot let those two wenches get
away 
from us!"

	Groucho, with Jinnai riding him, led the Bugrom war party that would 
try and re-steal the Garnet Orb Staff.
--------------------------------
#Another burst.  I can wait.  It will not be much longer.#
--------------------------------
	Jupiter and Shayla managed to make it up the cliff face far faster 
than they had went down.  Shayla had a slightly more difficult time of
it, 
since she had the staff thrust down the back of her shirt.  Once they
had 
cleared the lip of the cliff they ran off the way they came.  The pair
knew 
that they had caught the bugrom by suprise and that they would be
followed. 

	"How long do you think until laughing boy wakes up?" Makoto asked, 
while running.

	"Not very long," replied Shayla, "We'll probably have to dodge the 
bugs all the way back to Roshtaria.  If it wasn't for the fact that
there is 
a chance that one of the bugs could grab the staff and run, I would
rather 
stay and fight them."

	"When we get the staff back to Usagi, do you want some help swatting 
some bugs?" asked Jupiter, knocking a silver butterfly out of her hair
while 
running.

	"Sure."
