The blonde with the bow in her hair nodded resolutely. "I'm with you! Cresent Beam!"
"Sparkling Wide Pressure!" cried out the tall girl wearing green.
The trio of attacks slammed into the barrier and created an explosion that sent dust flying through out the area. When it cleared, the barrier was still in place, though it was flickering, and the corrupted Senshi was smirking inside of it.
"It looks like you couldn't make it!" Dark Pluto sneered, "So I still have a chance to do what I have to."
The blue haired girl scowled back at her. "Shabon Spray!"
"What will that do Mercury?"
"Buy time. Saturn!"
"Silence Glaive Surprise!" called out the little girl with the wicked looking weapon.
"What?! AHHHH!" Pluto yelled as the attack sliced cleanly through her barrier and sent her reeling to keep from being killed. She tumbled to the floor and winced at the pain that the glancing blow had given her. But she wasn't about to give up, and knew that she had to do something, so she reached for her Time Key Staff.
"No, you don't!" the fuku clad blonde snapped, "Venus Love Me Chain!"
The corrupted woman went to dodge the attack, but quickly realised that no blow was coming. Instead, a quick look confirmed what she already knew, as she saw the Staff get yanked over to the grasp of the younger girls. However, she didn't have long to consider that, since she was already on the defense due to the fact that the government people were quickly acting, using the opportunity to shoot at her a whole lot. Only wild dodging allowed her to stay out of their line of fire for the most part, but several shots did find their mark, fortunately no where vital.
Yet she didn't have much time to heal herself, as Jupiter charged forwards and started punching and kicking at her. She moved backwards, keeping out of the range of the emerald eyed girl's attacks as much as she could. She had expected it, and so didn't think that she could have too much trouble with it.
And she was wrong.
"Sabon Spray Freezing!" cried out Mercury.
Pluto tried to dodge it, realising that her focus on the other girl had allowed the juku student to get her in her sights. Unfortunately for her, she wound up with her feet and one leg up to the knee encased in ice. "Do you think that this will hold me? Just watch."
"No, we won't," said the blonde in the gown. "Moon Princess... HALATION!"
Light seemed to fill the entire station, and the glow just flew from fowards into Dark Pluto's body. A beam of brightness went from the blonde to the assassin seeming intent on pushing on the tanned woman's entire body. The scream that echoed from Pluto echoed to all listeners, and the light seemed to overtake her completely. She started to have an aura, and almost appeared to dissolve under the attack. It pulsed higher and higher until those watching had to narrow their eyes just to see. But even they had to turn away once an intense flash burst from where Pluto was standing.
Once the lighting turned back to normal, everyone turned back to look, blinking away afterimages. The first clue that something had happened was when no one could see the woman who had been there only moments before. However, a rather odd gurgle did make some stop and frown in thought as they heard it.
It took the blonde with the funny hair moving fowards and picking up a baby with tanned skin and green hair for them to realise what had happened.
"Is that..?" asked the girl in the red skirt.
Mercury held what looked like a small computer up to the infant and pressed a few buttons before nodding. "Yes, it is. Apparently so much was involved in the corruption that to blow the darkness away took up a lot of her being. In effect, she was blown back to... this."
"She's cute like this," commented the girl in orange, "It's almost hard to see her being that psycho romance wrecker and mass mankiller like this."
"Well, once she grows up, she won't be."
Smelling something interesting, the news reporter hurried up and stuck a microphone in the blue haired girl's face. "Are you telling us that she isn't going to try to kill anyone again?"
"Well... the taint is gone, thanks to the Princess. But now she'll have to grow up like any other girl."
"So you aren't trying to create some matriarchal society devoid of men?"
"No, we are not. I was told that we would have a future where everyone would live in happiness, love and prosperity," the Princess said softly, "But she fell into nastiness when she was checking some stuff about an ancient evil out, and thought that she had to do anything to make it into someplace where my friends wouldn't have guys to love. Well, I don't see how anyone can be happy when they don't have a chance to find someone to love, and I didn't want that. None of us did. So, we decided to fight her."
"And now you have won."
"You might say that, but I wish that we didn't have to."
"Yes, that's understandable. But now one question remains. What will you do with the baby?"
Turning soft eyes towards the now-innocent baby, the Princess gave a small smile and said, "She will:
