It was that same dream again. Danny wasn't sure why he had it almost every single night. He was happily playing around with a white husky like dog with a golden crescent on it's forehead in a long silvery white hallway that looked like it was something out of a palace that could only exist in someone's dreams. He felt so happy as the dog jumped around him just outside of his reach.
"Look it's the prince." A voice said. Danny didn't see anyone, he never could.
"Oh he has such pretty white hair, just like his mother." Another voice added.
"And he has the queen's gentle smile too." Said enough. They were all women's voices, they always were.
Danny's chest filled with pride. There was only the slightest bit of wonder in him. 'But my hair is black...' Outside of his dream, Fenton Danny was a eight year old child with black hair and ice blue eyes. He knew this, in fact his real mother outside of the dream had brown hair. But he could see the white bangs falling down in front of his face.
The dream never changed so he knew what was coming. He was forced to swallow down and prepare for the next part.
"It's just a pity that his father is..." The first voice said.
"Hush, you know we aren't supposed to talk about that." The third scowled.
"Well, it isn't like everyone doesn't know. Just look at those eyes. That shade of green only comes from one place." The first woman said.
"Are you suggesting that our queen would do something like that with one of those... monsters!" The second snapped.
"The proof is in the pudding." The first responded. "And the boy will probably be like his father. The son of a monster is a monster."
It felt like there was a cold grip on the young boy's heart. Why? Why did they talk about his eyes like that. Who was his father? He wasn't a monster, was he? The dog stopped and looked back at him whining slightly. He could see a reflection of himself inside of the dogs large crystal blue eyes. His own venomous green orbs peered out from behind his snowy bangs. Danny hadn't even realized he had stopped running.
A new voice called out. "Hope?" Danny's head shot in the direction of the call. Standing there in a doorway was a beautiful young woman.
Danny felt his heart fill again with warmth as he ran into her arms. She had on a silky white dress and smelt of flowers as he buried his head in her lower stomach. Looking up he couldn't quite make out the face in the dream but she had long blond hair that that she had done up in two buns on either side of her head before running down to the floor.
"Onee-sama." Danny said as he was filled with the feeling of safety. She smiled and pat him on the head gentle. "Onee-sama." Danny said one last time.
"Danny, wake up!" Danny's eyes shot open and the dream was gone as he had his shirt violently pulled. Sitting straight up his head darted around until he spotted the one that had woken him.
"Onee-san!" Danny shouted a little surprised. His real world older sister was nothing like the gentle woman in his dream. Fenton Jasmine, often called Jazz by her friends and parents was a high school student at one of the top high schools in Tokyo. She was sixteen, had long red hair with a blue hair band. She was already dressed in her high school uniform and was wearing her usually look of disapproval at her eight year old little brother.
"Danny! I can't believe you climbed up onto the roof again!" She shouted at Danny who winced at the raised voice.
"But... the moon was almost full last night." Danny said weakly. He never understood why, but he was always fascinated with the moon. Every time the moon was nearing it's fullest he would wake up on the roof. Sometimes he didn't even remember climbing up their. At first his parents had scolded him saying that it was dangerous and even tried tying him down, but after three years they had given up. Only his sister still pestered him about it.
"What are you, some kind of werewolf?" Jazz asked angrily. "Gurr, I don't have time for this, just go and get dressed. Kaa-san already has breakfast ready." Jazz said before returning to a ladder that she had used to get to the roof. Danny got down off the roof and dressed up in his school uniform.
Looking at the clock he realized he was running late. "Oh geez." Danny said running down the stairs in a vain hope to save time for him to have breakfast. But he slipped and fell down the last five steps. "Ouch!" Danny cried as he pushed himself up.
"You ok sweetie?" His mother called out from the kitchen. Fenton Maddie was a scientist like her husband Jack. They both did there research from home and rarely changed out of the hazard safety suits that they had to wear, though Danny wasn't exactly sure what they did. It had something to do with the supernatural but that's all he knew.
"Hai!" Danny moaned as he pushed himself up. He rubbed his sore tall bone and pushed a stray tear out of his eye. He had always seemed to be a bit of a klutz. Running into the kitchen he quickly got to work on his breakfast woofing it down as fast as he could.
"I'm off!" Jazz shouted as the front door opened and closed.
"What!? Onee-san wait up!" Danny shouted grabbing his boxed lunch and back pack before running out the door at full speed.
"Be careful on the road!" Maddie shouted as he went.
After exiting the house Danny spotted his sister walking out the front gate. "Don't leave without me!" He shouted again as he ran up next to her.
"I wasn't, but your really predictable. I knew you'd come running so you don't have to walk by yourself. Scaredy cat." His sister teased. Along the way to their schools, they met up with Jazz's friend from school, Star. Danny was forced to listen to the two high school girls talk about their 'teacher' that they had crushes on.
Danny was starting to think he was going to gag when he actually did, but it was like nothing he had ever experienced before. It felt like his blood froze as he collapsed to his knees and his eyes felt like they were burning. Something bubbled up out of his throat and he coughed. A pale white mist come up out of his mouth before fading into the moist morning air.
Nothing more came but the little boy was freaked out. He still felt like something was seriously wrong. Looking up next to him he saw that he was right in front of a large jewelry store. He couldn't help but feel like the store was somehow... evil.
"Danny, hurry it up." Jazz shouted noticing her brother was falling behind. "I'm not going to be late for school because of you."
But Star turned back and kneeled next to the boy. She was seventeen and had long blond hair and blue eyes that seemed more concerned than Danny's sister's. "Are you ok? You seem a little pale." She reached up and put a hand on Danny's forehead. "You feel a little cold."
Danny flushed a little, he had long had a crush on his sister's best friend but never said anything, but a nothing wave of the evil feeling pushed the blush of his face with another wave of shivers. "I... I need to get away from this place." Danny said looking at the jewelry store.
"Get away from what?" Jazz said looking down at her little brother, she was fairly certain it was all just an act to get closer to Star. His sister often teased him saying that he 'had his head in the stars' referring to both his tendency to sleep under the moon at night and his little crush. But she forgot to tease him as she looked over and spotted the store. "Star look, they're having a super discount sale." She said excitedly. "Maybe we should come back after school and check it out." Danny looked horrified.
"I... can't. My dad wants me to go straight home after school." Star said a little annoyed by her friends lack of concern for Danny.
"That's to bad." Jazz said a little disappointed. "I'll get something for you if I spot anything I think you'd like." She said before they started to continue. As they got away from the shop Danny started to feel better. But he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with that store.
"Kaa-san is not going to be happy about this." Danny muttered to himself as he sat near the entrance to his school waiting for his older sister to pick him up. In his hand he had his latest test grade for English. He had only managed to get a thirty five and his mother had already told him that she had wanted him to pull up his grades.
He didn't understand what the big deal was. He never liked English and he lived in Japan. Why should he have to learn all these words, he was only eight? Didn't they have computers for that?
It didn't help that the English teacher, Lancer-sansei, didn't like him. He always was comparing him to his older sister and mocking him in front of the class. It made it really hard for Danny to make any friends.
"Maybe if I'm lucky Kaa-san will have forgotten about the test." Danny said.
"I wouldn't count on that." Danny nearly jumped as he heard his sister's voice behind him. "You really aren't very smart are you, Danny? Maybe if you just spent or time studying and less time with your comics."
Danny's head fell as he roughly shoved his test back into his bag. His sister was always like that to him, but his parents never stopped her. After all, she was the responsible and grown up one being the elder sibling.
Danny picked up his backpack and started walking in toe behind his sister as she commented on his shortcomings. Danny was too busy mop to remember the events of the morning. That is until the same fridged mist shoot up his throat again. This time he quickly recovered before anyone noticed. But the moment he was back in control he looked up in horror at the jewelry shop right above him.
"Come on, Danny. I'm going to see if they have anything I would like." Jazz said walking into the store.
"Onee-san no!" Danny shouted grabbing her hand and trying to pull her back but just ending up being pulled in with her.
"What is the matter with you, Danny!?" Jazz said angrily.
"This place is evil Onee-san, why can't you feel it." Danny said desperately. His eyes short around the store the women in there were acting like sharks in a feeding frenzy. He tried again to pull his sister but she pulled her arm away from him.
"Danny, you can't just go around making up stories and expect to get your way." Jazz said shaking a disapproving finger at him.
"Is there a problem miss?" A woman in a long black and white checkered dress with blown hair asked Jazz. She had a megaphone in her hand and the grin on her face was not helping Danny to calm down. "I hope there is nothing you find unpleasant about my story."
Danny shrank behind his sister. "No, nothings wrong, my brother just has a wild imagination." Jazz said to the woman. Danny looked at the woman. It seemed to him that every time he blinked his figure would be replaced my a monster with steely gray hair, shriveled skin like a zombie's and a black third eye in the middle of her forehead. But then it would slowly turn back into the woman.
"Onee-san..." Danny started to cry. "There is something bad here Onee-san. Please listen to me."
"Danny that is enough!" Jazz snapped. "Stop acting like a baby or wait outside."
"Onee-san." Danny cried one last time before his sister shoved him towards the door. Danny was too confused and scared. He ran out crying. But Jazz didn't follow her distressed little brother. She thought it was all just an act to get what he wanted.
Sitting on the door step Danny slowly regained control of himself. "Why... why doesn't Onee-san believe me?" Danny asked himself looking back at the jewelry story. He had to admit it looked like an ordinary shop, but he could feel the icy grip of what he could only describe as evil coming them the place. 'Why couldn't everyone else feel it? Was their something wrong with me?' The thought that it was all in his head didn't make Danny feel any better.
Danny started to get angry. Even if it was all in his head, that didn't excuse the way his sister acted towards him. She could have at least tried to comfort him instead of making him stay outside on his own. Turning away from the creepy shop he spotted an Arcade a short ways down the street.
He had never been to an arcade before, his parents never spent all that much time with their kids and his sister wasn't interested in video games. But that the moment he didn't care if he caused trouble for his sister since she clearly didn't care for his feelings.
Danny was a little wide eyed in wonder as he walked through the sliding doors into the arcade. The catchy music and funny beeping noises coming from the games was all new to him. He didn't really know where to start. But the first game to catch his eye was one near the front. It was one of those standard slide scroller arcade games and featured the hero that had recently started popping up in the news, Sailor V.
Danny always got a sense of deja vu when ever the subject of the masked girl running around the a sailor uniform fight crime came up. He could never understand why though. It isn't like you see something like that very often. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that she looked a little like his sister's friend, Star. Though she was a least three years younger.
Danny walked up and sat down at the game, hardly even noticing the girl who was sitting next to him playing the same game. The games were connected so when Danny put in his cone and started it up he was immediately dropped into the game as the player two character. So instead of playing as Sailor V, he was playing as Tuxedo Hats, a made up male character so that they could have a coop mode.
Danny was having a lot of fun. He didn't really understand much about the game at first but he caught on by the time the first boss came along. His character's power seemed to revolve around throwing roses that interrupted the enemy's attacks.
After he held off the boss's attacks for a few moments the Sailor V character finished charging a finishing move and destroyed the zombie witch.
"We did it!" Danny and the girl next to him shouted together. He finally looked over at her and what he saw surprised him. She was a middle school girl with long blond hair done in pig tails with buns on either side of her head. She had sparkily blue eyes and a nice smile. Danny couldn't help but to think about his dream sister. The one he wished he had instead of his real sister. But her hair wasn't quite as long and she was younger than the girl in his dreams.
"Well Usagi-chan, it looks like you've made a new friend." A young man said coming up behind them. He had blond hair, only dirty blond instead of golden like the girls. He was wearing an apron and a name tag that read 'Motoki'.
They girl laughed and rubbed the back of her head. "I guess I have, though we haven't exchanged names yet. I'm Tsukino Usagi." She said smiling and reached out a hand to shake.
Danny smiled back. "I'm Fenton Danny. It's nice to meet you Tsukino-san."
"You can just call me Usagi, everyone does." Usagi laughed. "And I'll just call you Danny-kun, alright?" Danny smiled and nodded. Everyone turned when they heard a small meow. There was a black cat standing in the arcade behind them. "Hey, it's that cat from this morning." Usagi said clearly recognizing the feline. The cat came closer to them. "Look, it has a funny bold spot on its forehead." Usagi pointed out.
But then both her and Danny seemed entranced by the crescent mark on the cat's forehead. The felling of deja vu was stronger than ever. It was just like what was on the dog's head in his dream.
But soon he was jogged out of his trance by a shout. "Danny!" It was his real sister, Jazz. "You were supposed to wait for me outside of the jewelry store!" She snapped before grabbing the boy by the wrist and starting to pull him away. "When we get home, I'm telling Kaa-san that you wondered off on your own to play in an arcade." She said.
Danny was once again miserable. "Bye, Usagi-san." He said waving as he was pulled away. The blond girl waved back felling sorry for him.
Danny was again up on the roof, like he was every night around this time of the month. But even the full moon didn't make him feel any better. It wasn't his sister yelling at him, or even that she had told there mother about him wondering off and about his english test. Danny recovered from being yelled at for such things really quickly. But there was something else.
It felt like someone had charged the air itself with energy and that a single small gust of wind with spark up a fire storm. He couldn't sleep as he just lay there staring up at the full moon, thinking of the evil store, the girl from the arcade, and the cat.
It wasn't until he heard the front door crash open that he bolted up right and realized that it was getting closer to midnight. His sister, Jazz, walked out of the front door. "I'm sorry, Onee-san, but it was the full..." He stopped when he noticed that she wasn't paying any attention to him. She was staggering forward like a zombie and around her wrist was a bracelet that she had bought at the evil jewelry store. It was glowing an evil green. "Onee-san?" Danny said worried as she left the yard and crossed the street.
Everything in Danny's body was telling him that all hell was breaking lose and that the world of his dream and the one on the outside were about to smash into each other. But that didn't matter. His big sister was in danger. He knew that for sure. He jumped to a low hanging branch of a tree before working his way to the ground and running after his sister.
He knew where she was going. It was pretty obvious. She was being pulled towards the same evil store were she had bought the bracelet. She was soon joined along the empty roads by dozens of other woman of all ages. "Onee-san, please stop. Onee-san." Danny begged trying to pull her back but she just continued.
When they finally reached the store, Danny gave another shiver and a puff of white mist escaped his mouth. In the middle of the store was the woman looking the same as he had seen her for the few fleeting moments in the store. Gray wiry hair, hideous zombie like skin and the creepy third eye.
"My master will be very pleased with all the energy I have gathered." The thing said, its voice was raspy and shrill like that of a cartoon witch.
"Where is my Kaa-san. What did you do with her!?" A red hair middle school girl tried to demand of the monster. She was tied up in glowing necklaces.
"I wouldn't be as worried about her as I would be about yourself." The monster said and then Danny could see her starting to drain the energy out of the young girl. The girl fainted and slumped against the ground. "I will drain you first, you've seen to much so I will make sure there is nothing left."
"No!" Danny shouted and ran forward and tried to push the monster away. He just bounced right off of it and fell to the ground. But it did drag the creature's attention away from the girl and stop the life draining process.
"You. You're that boy from today. The one that could feel my dark energy." The woman said annoyed. But then she grinned. "I am willing to bet that you have some very interesting energy. My master would be pleased if I took it from you." Danny squeaked and in his fear he tried to run for the door. "Do not let him escape!" The sleep walking woman grabbed onto Danny. One of them was his sister.
"Onee-san." Danny said his eyes full of tears. Why didn't she just listen to him when he had said the place was evil.
"Hold him still while I drain his energy." The monster said. Danny turned his head away whimpering.
"Get away from him you monstrous old hag!" Danny looked towards the door to find Usagi standing there dressed in a sailor outfit like the Sailor V uniform, only without the mask and she was wearing a tiara. He knew it was Usagi, because the of her hair and the black cat that was standing beside her. Danny could feel her then. It was an opposite feeling as the cold that gripped him when the monster woman was around. It was a feeling of light, not darkness.
"And who are you?" The monster asked getting angry at the sheer number of uninvited guests.
"I am... I'm..." Usagi said putting a finger to her chin as if thinking about how to respond. "I am, the pretty guardian in a Sailor Suit, the Guardian of Love and Justice, Sailor Moon!" She shouted doing a sort of introduction sequence that seemed natural to her. "In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"
"Sailor Moon?" The monster said seeming to consider the girl for a second. "I've never heard of you! Though it doesn't matter, get her!" The monster woman shouted and several of the brain washed woman started chasing after Usagi who started running around the room trying to stay away from them.
Sailor Moon dived to the ground to avoid one of the lungs. "What the hell is going on? Isn't this just a dream?" She shouted clearly scared. "It hunts! I'm bleeding!"
"What are you doing, Sailor Moon. Fight!" The black cat said in a woman's voice. Danny was to confused and scared to understand what was going on, or even question how the cat was talking.
'Help her.' Something pricked in the back of Danny's mind but he didn't know what to do.
Soon, Sailor Moon was completely surrounded. She started to tear up. "Why am I in this kind of mess?" She sniffled. And they it broke into a wailing cry that released a sonic vibration that filled the air. "I can't stand it!" She cried falling to her knees.
The zombiefied people wobbled and fell to the ground from the attack and the monster woman tried to cover her ears from the noise. But Danny was for some reason completely fine, even though it was loud enough to break glass. But soon the crying stopped.
"Did I do that?" Sailor Moon said confused.
"Onee-san!" Danny shouted checking on his sister who had been knocked out with the rest. There was a small cut on her cheek from the shattered glass. Danny looked at the blood, the crimson blood. His sister was hurt, and it was all that monster... all that monster's fault. "You... old hag!" Danny shouted turning towards the monster. "You turn my Onee-san back to normal or I'll... I'll..." Danny said his small body starting to tremble.
"Or you'll what!?" The monster laughed as it shuck off the effects of Sailor Moon's crying.
"Or I'll..." Danny said then his voice dropped off and his head fell so that his bangs covered his eyes. A dark presence entered the room, far stronger than the monster's own. "I'll punish you." Danny's voice had an echo to it and as he looked up his blue eyes had turned the most venomous shade of green that any of them had ever seen, glowing with a dark energy.
Danny rushed forward and rammed himself straight into the monsters stomach sending her flying into a pillar.
"Luna, what's happened to Danny-chan?" Sailor Moon asked shocked.
"I don't understand. His body is overflowing with youki energy." The cat responded stunned.
"Raahhaa!" Danny shouted unintelligibly at the monster before rushing it again. The monster dived out of the way and Danny's little fist went straight into the concrete pillar. The pillar crumbled away around the impact showing a small hand who's knuckles had had the skin torn off and were bleeding. But the boy didn't care, he was going to punish the one responsible for hurting his sister.
"He's gone berserk!" Luna shouted.
"This will stop you!" The monster shouted and several dozen glowing green necklaces flew into the air and bound themselves around the berserking child how fell to the ground and hit his head causing a trickle of blood to come down from it.
"Raaahhhaa!" Danny shouted as he struggled against his binds. Even with the magic reinforcing them, the metal was bending and more necklaces came in to add to the spell. The metal bands dug into Danny's arms and legs as he struggled against them, cuts appeared on his arms which started to bleed.
"This child's power. So much raw youma energy." The monster said wide eyed, it had completely forgotten about Sailor Moon in its greed. "The master would award me greatly if I retrieved it for him."
"No, leave him alone!" Sailor Moon shouted running between the boy and the monster. She was shaking with fear, but she had to protect Danny.
"Get out of my way, little girl!" The monster shouted attacking with lengthened fingernails. But a red rose came through a window and stopped her advance. "What!?"
In the window was a man in a black tuxedo and hat with a white domino mask. "Sailor Moon. You must hurry and stop this monster." The man said.
Sailor Moon was wide eyed at the mysterious man that had came to rescue her. "But how?" She said though there was no more of the fear in her voice.
"Your tiara, Sailor Moon." Luna said jumping up next to her. "Take it off and shout 'Moon Tiara Boomerang'." Luna instructed.
Sailor Moon reached up a hand and pressed on her tiara and to her surprise it turned to a disk of golden light in her hand. "Moon Tiara... Boomerang!" She shouted throwing the monster. The monster was hit in the stomach and turned to dust.
"You did it Sailor Moon." Luna congratulated the new hero.
"I couldn't find the 'Legendary Silver Crystal', but I saw something interesting." The man in a tuxedo said. "My name is, Tuxedo Kamen. Until we meet again, Sailor Moon." He said as he took his leave.
Danny calmed down the moment the monster was gone. "Wha... what happened?" Danny asked confused as he looked around and removed the now loose necklaces. He winced and screamed with pain from his arms and his injured hand went to he injury on his forehead.
"Are you alright?" Sailor Moon said moving to the boy.
Danny looked at her with wide eyes which were again blue. "I'm... I'll be alright, Usagi-san." He said causing Usagi to squirm.
"What, I'm not Usagi, I'm Sailor Moon." She said a little worried.
Danny smiled then through the pain. "Ok then, Moon-nee-sama." He said grinning as well as he could. Sailor Moon smiled back softly, though the boy looked like hell.
"Sailor Moon, we need to go. The police will be here soon." Luna said as they could hear sirens outside.
"Coming!" Sailor Moon said running off. "I hope I see you later, Danny-kun." Danny waved as she left, but then he remembered his real sister.
"Onee-san... Onee-san..." Jazz could hear her little brother's cries. She slowly sat up and shook her head. "Onee-san!" Danny said sounding relieved but then burying his head in her shoulder and kept crying. "I told you it was evil! Why didn't you believe me!?"
Jazz was confused. She was in the middle of the floor of the jewelry store and there were women all round her, unconscious or just waking. She lifted a hand to her forehead and felt something wet. Pulling her hand away she found that it was covered in blood. She looked again at her little brother and her heart caught in her throat. The crying boy looked as if he had gone through a middle evil torture chamber with his arms covered in cuts and his right hand looking as if it had its skin peeled way, muscle and bone showing through the blood. Blood was dripping down the left side of his face onto her shoulder.
At that moment, Jazz felt true horror as her little brother started to sway from the adrenaline and blood loss before collapsing in her arms. 'How could this have happened?' She kept asking herself as she screamed for someone to call an ambulance.
