Chapter 2: They're Ours to Get Rid of!

Yumoto was glad it was a Saturday, he didn't have to go to school, and the best thing was, was that Gora was letting him go with his friends for the day.

Wombat followed him and Yumoto smiled as he saw them sitting in front of the water fountain at the park. "Hey guys!" He grinned and looked at them, "Where's Ryuu-senpai?"

Io didn't look up from his tablet as he replied, "He's with that girl again."

Yumoto nodded and smiled, "Well we can't let that ruin our day!" He giggled and Wombat nodded. "Of course!"

The four Defense Club members weren't really doing anything at the park. Atsushi was reading, Io was on his tablet, and En was dozing off on Atsushi's shoulder.

Yumoto looked up from his cuddling of Wombat and smiled. "We should find Ryuu-senpai and Minako-chan so they can hang out with us too!"

Atsushi looked at him and smiled softly, "Yumoto, that's nice of you, but they're probably wanting to hang out together. You can always try to get them again later."

"Aww, you're no fun, Atsushi-senpai." Yumoto frowned and Wombat replied, "Love isn't something to mess with you know."

"I know, but I'm bored!" Yumoto pouted and Atsushi looked at him, "Why don't you ask Minako if you can play with her cat, or better yet, see if her friend is here."

Yumoto nodded and walked away with Wombat. He gasped as he saw Usagi talking to something. He quickly hid behind a wall and began to listen in.

"Luna, you're crazy, that guy Minako-chan is with isn't evil." Usagi spoke and Yumoto listened as another voice replied, "Usagi-chan, he has a strong energy around him!"

Yumoto's eyes widened, could she be talking about Ryuu-senpai? Wombat looked at him, Yumoto was really focused on this...

"Luna, you're overreacting." Usagi replied and Yumoto watched as her cat jumped from her arms and began to talk. "Usagi-chan, be careful around that one blonde boy too, he has an even stronger energy around him."

Wombat looked at the cat and nudged Yumoto to walk forward. Wombat followed the boy and Yumoto smiled. "Hi Usagi-chan!"

Usagi smiled at him and Yumoto looked at Luna. "I heard her talking..."

"What? C-cats can't talk!" Usagi replied quickly and Yumoto frowned, "Well, Wom-san can talk..."

Usagi looked at Wombat and Yumoto bent down in front of Luna. "I heard you talking..." Luna looked at the boy in shock, "H-how?"

"I...I don't know..." Yumoto replied and Luna gasped. Wombat walked beside Yumoto and looked at her.

Luna looked at the bracelet on Yumoto's wrist and frowned as she sensed a strong power coming from it. She looked at it and Wombat looked at her.

"What is that on your wrist?" she asked and Yumoto looked at it, "Oh...it's nothing. It's a bracelet my brother gave me." He lied and Wombat sighed in relief. Luna looked at it more and Yumoto quickly moved his hand as he saw it light up and buzz.

"I-I gotta go." Yumoto said quickly and Usagi watched as he stood up.

While all of this was happening, Ryuu was walking with Minako. He stopped when he felt his bracelet buzz, "Dammit...at a time like this again?" He thought and he heard Minako gasp, "Is that a monster?"

Ryuu looked around and saw a monster that looked different than the ones he was used to fighting. He felt Minako tear her arm away from his and run off. He took that as a sign to go hide and transform. "Love Making!" He called out, "The Thrilling Prince, Battle Lover Vesta!"

He ran out and saw Scarlet, "Scarlet!" He yelled, "Over here!"
Scarlet ran to him, "The others aren't here yet."

Vesta smiled, "We'll be fine. Let's get rid of this monster!"
"I like the way you think!" Scarlet giggled and the duo ran up to the monster.

Scarlet gasped as there were the same girls as last time, but three other girls were fighting too. The monster turned to the two Battle Lovers and the girls did too.

Scarlet gasped as he saw VEPPer watching, "Get Scarlet!" One yelled and laughed. His laughter died down as he saw another monster. "HEY! That's not ours...!" He growled and saw the same red haired woman.

The woman turned to the twins, "I told you before, we can work together, if you want that Scarlet gone."

This made Salty Sol's eyes widen... "Really?"
"Yes." She smiled. "My name is Kaolinite, I work for the Death Busters...I'm trying to get rid of these pesky Sailor Guardians."

Salty Sol looked at her, "We're after the Battle Lovers...I hate them...especially their damn leader or whatever that loser is!"

Dadacha looked at him, "VEPPer, you work alone-cha. Remember, you two are stronger than him."

Melty Luna nodded, "Yes."

Kaolinite smiled, "I can help you, we can use our monsters to get him."

"I want him dead." Salty Sol growled and his brother looked at him. "We can kill him ourselves...his death will be more fun that way. We don't need help."

Salty Sol nodded, "Of course." He smirked, "Hakone Yumoto..." He whispered, "Your end is near..."

Kaolinite watched the two twins carefully and looked down at the battle. That so-called Scarlet had his other teammates with him now...she watched as she healed the monster the VEPPer had created with ease.

Then she growled as Sailor Moon destroyed hers...they'd all pay...

The Battle Lovers stood behind Scarlet as Scarlet smiled, "Love is Over!" The Sailor Guardians looked at Scarlet, "Who are you guys?" A girl with long black hair and in a red skirt asked and Venus told her, "These are the Battle Lovers, Mars...apparently the five of them are Heirs to a Throne of Love."

Mars looked at them and the one in the green skirt looked at Scarlet too. "Who's monster was that?"

"It was a student who was somehow transformed into it by our enemies...they're the VEPPer." Epinard told them and Cerulean nodded, "They don't like us very much..."

Scarlet sighed and looked down as Sailor Moon looked at the girl, "Jupiter, we should tell them about our enemy then."

Jupiter nodded, "Alright. Mercury, you explain it." Mercury nodded and looked at Epinard, "Our enemy is sending out monsters to take the pure hearts we all possess. We don't know why...but if its out for too long the person will die."

Scarlet looked down...he didn't know what to think about that. The monsters they fought were just students who were changed into monsters. They weren't like the ones the Student Council sent out...they didn't really have a loss of love this time...they just seemed angry or confused.

He looked at the Sailor Guardians and nodded, "Just remember, the monsters that our enemy sends out are people...We have the power to heal them back."

Sailor Moon nodded, "Of course..."

Vesta smiled, "I have something to get back to, so we'll meet again, girls..." He winked, "If you want a date, let me kno-OW!"

Sulfur had stepped on his foot hard and was looking away as he was blushing, "Shut up, Vesta."

"You're so cold, Sulfur!" As the two argued, the five Sailor Guardians had left and the five Battle Lovers undid their transformations to go back to what they were doing.
