Suddenly the peaceful serenity was shattered as the store in question exploded, sending five girls flying into the air, their bodies landing hard on the ground. After a second, they began to feebly move.
“Sailor Moon!” cried Jupiter as she saw the unconscious form of the leader of the Senshi laying besides a deep crater in the nearby wall, a deep cut trickling blood from her forehead. She let out a sigh of relief as she heard a weak moan and saw the blondes eyes flutter weakly as she came to, while Mars and Venus, being closer, both helped the dazed Moon to her feet. “What…happened...?” slurred Venus as she slumped into Mars and Moon. Before Sailor Mars could respond, the four turned at the sound of a gasp from Sailor Mercury, who was staring in horror at her visor.
“IT’S A TRAP!” Ami cried as she took a step back and then winced as she nearly fell on her twisted leg.
“THAT’S RIGHT SAILOR BRATS!” A dark menacing voice called out from one of the upper levels of the mall. Even as it spoke, several Youma appeared from the shadows blocking every route of exit. The figure stood, half cloaked in the shadows, his face obscured though one could just barely make out the triumphant sneer on it. “And you fools fell right for it. As you can see there is no escape… Prepare to die…”
“You’ll never beat us!” Venus cried in defiance, even as she stumbled trying to support the semi-conscious Moon.
“Oh, I don’t know.” The figure laughed. “You seem half beaten already. Oh… maybe you’re hoping that Tuxedo Mask or those annoying Outers will save you? A real pity that I’ve arranged a suitable distraction for the other Senshi… and as for your pathetic tuxedoed savior… well the only way in is through the roof, personally guarded by several of my strongest minions! HAHAHAHAHA”
The man raised a arm tipped with wicked claws to gesture to the skylight as he cried out. “In fact I think you should meet them. BOYS! Show yourselves to our waiting audience!”
The Senshi gasped as the looked upward to see…
“…………….”
Absolutely nothing.
When they turned their heads back they, somehow despite the shadows obscuring his face, saw a large vein bulge in annoyance on the dark general's face.
“QUIT MAKING ME LOOK BAD! SHOW YOUR SELVES OR YOU’RE ON HALF ENERGY RATIONS!” he yelled out, then smirked as a dark inhuman figure appeared to jump up over the skylight. “Good! TREMBLE IN FEAR AT THE DEMISE OF YOUR TUX….wait…what?!!”
As he spoke the rising demonic figure started to descend, straight towards the glass skylight. Then it went through it and limply landed in the middle of the food court amid falling shards of glass, it’s back clearly broken in two before it dissolved away.
“WHO DARES???!!” cried out the dark general as he saw through the skylight a large figure literally break another Youma (and unknown to him the last one on the roof) against his knee.
“Tuxedo Mask??!!” gasped Venus Hopefully.
“It can’t be, he’s too large!” Mars muttered.
“Then who…?”
The figure stood up, framed by the full moon in the background and the rising wisps of darkness that came from the disintegrating Youma, before calling out in a deep melodramatic voice.
“YOU FIEND! Threatening beautiful young maidens with lethal harm from your insidious evil minions???! THIS I CAN NOT ALLOW!”
The figure struck a pose, his large muscled framed outlined by the glow of the moon. Then he began to bellow, as dramatic music started to play, oddly enough from the local music store.
“WHEN THE FORCES OF DARKNESS DESCEND!” The man shifted, his right hand out stretched in a fist that was shaking in fury. “ IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE, THIS FIST!"
The man took a step closer to the skylight, revealing a tight pair of pants held up by a belt with a skull buckle.
“IN THE NAME OF HONOR,” He shifted again, flexing his hands and arms displaying his large biceps and straining his well developed pecs against his leather shirt.. “THESE MUSCLES!”
Despite the pain of their wounds, several of the inner Senshi unconsciously licked their lips as if they were hungry at the sight. They almost groaned in disappointment, as he shifted poses again, reducing the stress on his outfit.
As they watched he shifted to place his hands on his hips and struck a heroic pose. A single shaft of moonlight now illuminated his face, revealing blonde hair with two locks dangling in front of his face. A face that was half covered by a shiny purple butterfly mask.
“IN THE NAME OF TRUTH, THIS BLOOD!”
The figure crouched than leapt towards through the skylight crying aloud. “CHAMPION OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE GRAND PAPPILON!”
HE landed in a crouch, one hand on the ground to brace himself, than he slowly stood up while he continued on as if he had just taken a normal step off a stair way. His voice softening slightly as he didn’t have to yell quite so loud now that he was closer. “READY TO FACE ALL EVILDOERS!”
“S-s-sugoi!” Breathed one of the Senshi in shocked admiration as they gazed, several with hearts in their eyes, at the new challenger and his entrance.
The figure smirked and turned to face the largest group of Youma and settled into a combative stance, both sides barely noticing the large heavy object he easily balanced on his left shoulder as if it were light as a feather.
“If you are ready to the unfettered fury of my rippling muscles…” Grand Pappilon smirked and rasied his free hand to beckon the youma in front of him as he finished his speech. “THEN COME ON!!!”
