VesVes/Sailor Vesta

VesVes skidded to a halt when the creature revealed itself. "Poorple Boogie Man?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "What sort of a name is that?"
However, she did not wait for an answer. Instead, she held her henshin stick high in the sky. "VESTA ASTEROID POWER, MAKE UP!" she yelled, and as she flashed scarlet and bands of flame coiled themselves around her, she turned from the 'Zombie Greaser' to Sailor Vesta, fire dancing in her scarlet eyes. She growled when Poorple Boogie Man tossed a purple flame at Usagi.
"Have you ever heard of the phrase 'fight fire with fire?" she demanded. "Well, I'm Sailor Vesta, and I'm here to do just that!"
The image of a burning fireplace flashed in front of her. The fire then burned out, leaving only the scorching holographic embers.
"SACRED BLAZE!" roared Vesta, stretching her arms out in front of her. Suddenly, the holographic embers turned into actual embers, and she hurled them at the Poorple Boogie Man.

When the Poorple Boogie Man threw the flames at Usagi Haruka immediately sprung into action. She sprinted over to the younger blond jumping to push her out of the way flinching as the flame grazed her shoulder. "Are you OK?" she asked turning to her head to look at Usagi.

Michiru stood in the middle of the cemetery, trying to see where their mysterious opponent had gone. She wasn’t even bothered by the eeriness of her surroundings anymore. Her mind had snapped into battle mode, and all she felt was determination. Her Lip Rod was out of the pocket now, and ready to be used. Finally the monster showed itself, stepping out from behind a tree. She raised an eyebrow at its decidedly… unimpressive name. Although she immediately latched on to the information that there were two of them. That meant she had to watch out for the second one. Unless… he was already dead? Judging from what the one before her said, it sounded likely. Well, that was convenient.

As the monster launched into action and went for Usagi, Michiru turned in horror, realizing she was too far away to help. Fortunately Haruka had jumped to rescue her. “Haruka!” she said in worry when she saw the girl had grazed her shoulder on the flames. She reminded herself that it was just a scratch; that it wasn’t a huge concern right now. What was a huge concern was extinguishing this monster’s flames. She forced herself to focus once more. “Neptune Planet Power, Make Up!” she yelled without hesitation, and a second later she had transformed from a princess to a soldier.

She wasn’t sure how effective fighting fire with fire would be, but she knew her power should douse the little Boogie Man in one fell swoop. “Deep Submerge!” she called out, summoning the wave of ocean water to crash around their enemy.

Tiger's Eye

Upon seeing the smoke transform into a creature, Tiger's Eye squealed an odd shuddering sound and bit his fingernails, recoiling. There was something about the shape on the front of its purple sack-like suit that made him think of Zirconia! Gross!

As the women around him sprang into action against the creature, he felt useless in his banana suit. Tugging on his blonde locks in irritation, he decided to at least try to help.

Tiger's Eye snapped his fingers. Just as it once had before, the dressing curtain emblazoned with the Dead Moon Circus logo unfurled magically from the sky, and when it rolled back up to disappear his costume was gone and he was dressed in his original attire as a member of the Amazon Trio. He snapped his fingers again, and the familiar whip from before slid into his hand, coiled and ready. Tiger's Eye darted back, finding that he could still move with the same grace and speed he was accustomed to--especially now that he wasn't encumbered by the yellow costume--and did his best to slip behind the purple creature (hopefully at an angle and distance that would avoid the flame and water attacks headed towards the thing), lashing out with the whip.

ZOISITE!!!!!!

Zoisite held the crystal up to the monster the long sharp crystal was pointed at it's neck.,  "we don't even live here, we were here for a party..., but you messed with the wrong people" he said

Usagi was still recollecting herself when she realized she was on the ground under Haruka.

Are you okay? - Prompted Haruka.

Usagi could smell the cologne Haruka was wearing. The same cologne she was wearing years ago that day on the cave. She was now blushing.

She saw Haruka's superficial burn on her shoulder.

- Aaaah, Haruka-chan!

Usagi was now trying to help Haruka into sitting on her knees while holding her shoulders.

She knew she didn't have a lot of time before that ghost striked again, and she wasn't going to risk someone else getting hurt.

She stood up, and while facing the creature said to Haruka:

- Haruka-chan, I'll make it up to you!

Usagi then frowned and shouted:

- Moooooooon Eteeeernaaaaaaaaal  MAKE-UP!

Poorple Boogie Man was silent. He didn't realize that these people who had come from another land were so powerful. He was used to picking on the people in Halloween Town, just normal people with no super powered abilities.

As the blast from all the attacks approached he turned to run, but a strange man was there behind him blocking his path. 

BOOM! All of the attacks hit the Poorple Boogie Man and he went up in a vapor of purple smoke. 

"I promise I will leave everyone alone!" The vapor cried out. "Just go away!"

"Wimp," muttered Vesta, though she did grin at the other partygoers--Tiger's Eye included. She did not expect to see him here, but at least he wasn't causing trouble or anything. She would have had to turn on him if he did. "So does this mean we get to party now?" she asked tentatively, turning towards everyone else. "Purple thing is destroyed, nightmares have probably stopped... I'm all for partying now!" She was about to detransform, but a sudden gasp from Usagi made her think otherwise. Vesta didn't see anyone unusual, but just as a precaution, she kept her transformation. "Can't be too careful," she muttered, slightly disappointed.

Zoisite!!

"I wouldn't party too soon" said to Vesta   and pointed at the shady person..   "who are you and what do you want" he asked.  wondering if they were a new foe or just a person

   

Hotaru was glad that the Poorple Boogie Man was gone but was curious as to the identity of this new person. She didn't have the chance to transform and that worried her considering she was in her civilian form and was right next to some of her fellow Sailor Senshi.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

ZOISITE!!

He waited for the new figure to speak..   wondering who they were and if they were good or bad..  he stood ready to attack if this figure was bad.

Tiger's Eye

Tiger's Eye sweatdropped and stared at the others, dumbfounded.

"Really? You don't recognize me without my costume?" he commented. "I've been here this whole time!"

 VesVes/Sailor Vesta


"Oh, I recognized you," Vesta replied, pointing at Tiger's Eye. "Even with the stupid costume. By the way..." She detransformed, so that she was back into her costume, and grinned. "What was with the banana, anyway? I thought a ladies man like you would go with something a bit more classy! And yeah, I think it is a good time to party," she added, turning to Zoisite. "While this was all a good fight and I'm glad the nightmares have stopped, I DID come here for the fun, games, and candy."

Tiger's Eye

Tiger's Eye harumphed at VesVes's comment and flipped his hair.

"I'll have you know that my research indicated that my costume was the utmost in Earth Halloween fashion," he replied. The curtain from before descended in front of him, and instantly he was dressed in the absurd banana once more.

"Candy and fun sounds MUCH better than fighting."

Usagi sighed - hands on her chest - relieved it was over. She turned around and sat on her knees to aid Haruka in anyway.

After hearing Tiger's Eye remark, Usagi finally realized just how hungry she was. Putting her hand on her stomach, she suddenly realized something and screamed:

- OMG, I lost my basket! *cry baby face* This isn't fair! I hate this place! I could eat a hundred cakes right now!

After saying that last sentence, 100 cakes appear out of nowhere hanging in the sky and fall right on top of Usagi who lays on the ground with legs spread upwards.

A sobbing Usagi says in discontent:

- That's it, next time I'M picking where we go!
