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."
