             Chapter 4
    ~* Demona attacks *~

  Tara Moore knew she was going to be in big trouble once Gaby found her. She also knew Andrea was going to be in even bigger trouble. She watched the younger girl quietly from the far dark corner of the large garage near the racing track. She crossed her arms in annoyance, as Andrea continued working on her motorcycle's engine. Andrea had been tinkering with that damn motorcycle for the past four hours, Tara thought impatiently. Tara shifted to a more comfortable position against the wall.
   Andrea stood up and smiled, obviously pleased with the work she had completed. Her smile disappeared, as a large grey van pulled into the stadium parking lot. Tara noted smugly, that Andrea had the grace to look guilty. She heard car doors open, and light footsteps head toward Andrea. Gabriella and the others came into view, and Tara sighed. Time to face the music.
    She watched as Gabriella approached Andrea slowly, standing on the other side othe motorcycle from her. Gaby surprised everyone and smiled. "So, how's she running?"
   Andrea smiled and answered her question cautiously. "It's doing great. I cranked it up a bit, so now I have a four second edge over the others." Gaby nodded her approval. She stood back and admired the cycle for a second. "You could have asked me about staying home today. I might have let you," she said quietly. Andrea shook her head. "I didn't think you would let me."
   "Well, we will never know, will we?" Gabriella asked, her tone softening. "I gave you this motorcycle so you could have something to do. I knew how you would feel about seeing her for the first time, and I knew you would be bored here, so I gave you something to concentrate on. I promised your mother I would protect you, but how can i do that if I don't even know where you are?" Andrea looked down, ashamed. "I can just as easily take the motorcycle and send you back. I have every confidence in you, but you must follow the rules. How am I supose to trust you, if you can't even follow a simple rule? Will you obey them from now on?"  Andrea nodded, her face pale.
   "Good. I am sorry if I seem harsh. Let's go home."
   Andrea walked beside Gabriella, and Gaby put her arm around the girls shoulders and squeeze reassuringly. They both smiled and headed toward the exit. Gabriella paused, and turned her head slightly to the side. "Come on Tara, it's time to go home."
   Andrea's jaw dropped as Tara stepped out of her hiding place. Tara smiled. "Cool, I'm hungry." Everyone laughed and walked out of the garage. They all piled into the van, and pulled out of the parking lot and  headed toward the rich district. They didn't notice a yellow convertible pull out of a parking space in a unnoticed part of the lot and follow close behind.
   In the van, Andrea sat in the passenger seat beside Gabriella. She noticed the harsh ste of Gaby's shoulders, and asked quietly, "You are disappointed in me, aren't you?"
   "No of course not. I just wish you trusted me enough to confide in me,"she answered, keeping her eyes firmly on the road. "You and Melody are so close, and everything I know about your feeling, I know from her. I didn't know you felt nervous and angry about seeing her until Melody told me. We have been together as a family since we were little. Unfortunately, you treat me like a big sister who will tattle if you tell a secret." Her voice filled with dry humor, and Andrea could tell she was hurt. "No it's not like that," Ruby said from the backseat. "Yeah," Andrea agreed. "You are more like a mother to use then anything. You've taken care of us for so long, and helped us through so much. We barely ever got to see our real mothers because of training, so you became our mother. Some things we want to do, we think you would feel wrong about and get disappointed in us."
   Gabriella looked back at them all, her eyes filled with tears. She blinked rapidly, trying to make them go away. They road in silence for a while, until Amanda said, "There is a car following us."
   "What?" Gabriella asked in disbelief. She glanced in her rear veiw mirror and saw for the first time the yellow convertible. Andrea glanced into the side veiw mirror and spotted the car. Her face broke out in a big smile. "Don't worry, we will take care of them."

   "Amara, why are we following them in the first place?" Michelle asked as they sped through the city streets. Amara sat back in the comfortable seat of her convertible, one hand on the wheel, the other on the gear. "I sense something coming from those girls, and I can't quite put  my foot on it. I feel like I know them, yet I have never seen them before," Amara answered, her forehead creased in concentration as she followed thevan through the city streets and into a large neighborhood. The grey van turned into the drive-way of a white two-story mansion.
   Amara parked her car near the curb and turned off the engine. She climbed out of the car and looked up at the huge house in front of her. She took in the calm, peaceful surroundings. Michelle smiled and said,"This place has an invisible force of protection, can you feel it?" Amara nodded.
   "I think we should leave. I doubt they would be very hospitable if they found out we followed them," Michelle said.
   "Good thinking," an amused voice chimed in. Amara and Michelle whirled around. Andrea, Melody and two other girls they didn't recgonized stood near them. "Hello...Amara is it? Nice name. These are my cousins. Of course you know Melody. That's Ruby and Larissa." Ruby and Larissa waved at them silently. "Now, I believe the million dollar question is, why are you following us?" Andrea asked, her tone still light and amused.
   Amara opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by a loud, shrill scream. "We have to go!" they cried. Andrea and the others headed toward the big house, and Amara jumped into her car. She turned it on, put it on drive and slammed down on the gas. The car did a narrow U-turn, the tires squealing, leaving smoke and the smell of burnt rubber. The scream could be heard again, and they headed toward the sound...a large community park a few blocks away. When they were at the park, Amara slammed on her brake, and jumped out. She and Michelle transformed.
   "Uranus Planet Power!"
   "Neptune Planet Power!"
   In thier newly transformed stae, they headed toward the scream. As they neared the end of the park, they caught sight of a figure cloaked in black, hanging on a tree by a rope. Sailor Uranus hesitated. "Wait there is something wrong about this."
   The cloak fell away to reveal a blue alien, very similiar to Kembra. She looked up at them and smiled. "Smart girl!" The rope gave way, and she landed softly on her feet. "The name's Demona Krkuika, your new tormentor." She laughed cruelly, a chilling sound. "Are you ready to die?" she asked, and sent to two sailors catapulting backwards.
   "I don't think so," a soft familiar voice said. Demona and the sailors looked up. Sailor Galaxy and the  silver sailors smiled. Silver Neptune and Mars helped the sailors up. "I believe the question is, are YOU reeady to die?"
   Demona stared at them for a long moment then laughed. "Fools! Do you think I would underestimate you like my idiotic sister did? Maxeno come forward!"
   The ground began to shake slightly, but enough to make the warriors almost lose thier balance. Out of the ground seeped a brown gel. It continued to grow, layer after layer, until it formed the shape of a man. It began growing human facial parts, and it's newly formed eyes focused on Demona. "Kill them!" she screamed and ran toward the trees to hide. Maxeno and the warriors faced each other. Suddenly he began moving his hands in fast, swaying motions. His body began to glow, and seperate into twelve identical copies. The soldiers took a defensive stance, feet spred apart, bodies bent. The thirteen Maxenos crossed thier arms and chuckled evilly.   
   They all surged forward and began the attack. Sailor Uranus took out her talisman and slashed on of the copies in half. She smiled triumphantly. Her smile disappeared as the two pieces formed two new copies. "Oh no."
   Silver Mercury watched the two halfs become two new copies. "Everyone, we can't kill them by slashing them," she yelled. "They become however many pieces you break them into." The others groaned. "Well then how are we suppose to beat them?"Silver Mars asked angrily.
   "How am I suppose to know?" Silver Mercury shouted back.

Demona watched the battle from her poistion on a branch of a tree nearby. She frowned as she watched the Sailor scouts come running to help the others. This is getting a bit more complicated, she thought. She sat back, and searched her mind furiously for a new plan to compensate for the new events. She didn't notice
Sailor Galaxy hurrying toward the tree she sat on.
   "Galaxy Staff Crush!"
   Demona cried out as the tree collapsed under her. She landed on the ground with a thud. She pu8shed herself up with her hands and shook her head. A shadow loomed over her, and Demona looked up into the sad grey eyes of Sailor Galaxy. Demona smiled. "You think you have stopped me? Think again." She jumped up and rushed at Sailor Galaxy, intent on tackling her. Sailor Galaxy moved aside, and Demona stumbled past her. From her belt she unsheathed a sword and tossed it from hand to hand. "Come on Galaxy brat, let's get this over with, I am ready for lunch." She lunged toward Galaxy, sword raised. As her sword came down to pierce Galaxy's flesh, Galaxy raised her staff and blocked the attack. Demona pushed down hard, trying to get to Galaxy's skin. Galaxy pushed upward, knocking the alien to the ground. The alien cried out in anger, and swept her feet under Sailor Galaxy's knees, knocking the woman on her back. Demona jumped on top of Sailor Galaxy, sword ready to cut her head off. Again Sailor Galaxy blocked the sword with her staff. The two struggled, thier weapons making a cross on Galaxy's chest.
   Sailor Galaxy bent her knees, planted her feet on Demona's belly and pushed. The alien went sailing through the air, landing hard against a tree. Sailor Galaxy got up. Demona surprised the warrior, jumping up racing toward her, sword aimed at her heart. Galaxy placed her hand in front of her, palm forward and threw the alien back with a burst of white energy. Demona flew through the air, hitting a nearby tree, hard. The alien moaned, then slumped back. 
   At the same time, the soldiers were having a hard time getting rid of the bogus copies. If we get rid of the original, the copies will disappear too!" Sailor Mercury yelled.
   "Then we have to find Maxeno..."Sailor Uranus gazed at the sea of identical faces. "There are to many of them. It would take forever to find him."
   "We will get rid of the copies, and Maxeno," Silver Jupiter said eagerly. Silver Uranus and Jupiter storde forward.
   "Silver Uranus Supreme World Shaking!"
   "Silver Jupiter Supreme Thunder!"
   The huge yellow ball of energy was surrounded by a great surge of lightning that hit the many Maxeno's. "No!' a male voice screamed. The copies dissolved, leaving Maxeno laying on the ground in pain.
   "Silver Mars Fire Egnite!"
   Maxeno was reduced to dust. The warriors turned just in time to witness Sailor Galaxy throw Demona back with the white energy.
   Sailor Moon's jaw dropped. "How did she do that without calling out a power?"
   Silver Saturn smiled. "There are a lot of things she can do that will amaze you."
   A chilling blast of wind blew through the trees, and Beatrix appeared. Demona's face lite up. "My lady, help me!"
   Beatrix looked down at her in disgust. "You promised me you wouldn't fail Demona. You broke that promise, but I will keep mine." The alien was consumed in flames, screaming in horror and pain. Sailor Galaxy gazed at the dying alien, then focused on Beatrix. "You know Sailor Galaxy, true loyalty is hard to find, don't you think? So many people can destroy other people's lives so easily. Sometimes they have to pay the price. Eternal torment or..." she trailed off, her gaze turning on the now dead alien. "Well, you know what I mean."
   With those words she was gone. Sailor Galaxy turned to the others, her eyes filled with tears. She blinked rapidly, making them go away. Her eyes reemained sad, and she walked out of the park slowly. Sailor Moon watched her go, and put a hand out to stop Silver Saturn from following her along with the others. "Why is she sad?"
   Silver Saturn smiled sadly. "You wouldn't understand." The Silver soldiers walked away, and disappeared into the closing darkness.
