"I can't believe we're going to America!" shouted Serena, dancing around her room joyfully on Friday afternoon.
"Well," said Luna, smiling, "since the Negaverse has been defeated we can take vacation!" "Who else is coming?" asked Serena, looking at Luna out of the corner of her eye.
"Oh let me think," said Luna, a very thoughtful expression on her face. "Raye, Lita, Amy, and Mina!"
"Oh goody goody goody!" squealed Serena. "I'm going go call Mina right now!" she exclaimed, as she reached for the phone. "This is going to be so much fun!!!". She jumped for her phone, but missed and hit the floor with a thud.
"Oh I do hope she survives the walk in the airport!" sighed Luna, putting her head between her paws.
* * * * * *
rrrriiiiinnnnngggg rrrriiiiinnnnnnnnnnggg rrriiiiinnngg riii- "Hello?" said Mina, as she picked up the telephone. "Mina! It's Serena! We're going to America!" she sang into the phone. "And we're leaving tomorrow!!!"
"Yes," said Mina, a little distracted "tomorrow morning, early tomorrow morning, and I still have to pack!"
"Well have fun!" said Serena, "see you tomorrow morning!" she sang, as she twisted herself in the telephone cord, tripping again. "See you." said Mina.
Serena untangled herself from the telephone and hung up. Still gleaming from the idea of going to America.
"Finally! The Negaverse is defeated, I'm a normal girl, and I go to America for vacation! What could possibly be better!!"
Serena froze in her tracks, put on her thinking face, and looked curiously over at Luna, who was sleeping on her bed.
"Luuuunaaaa," whispered Serena, in a sing-song voice, "why are we going to America? Me, Mina, Raye, Amy, and Lita? Why not my brother? Why not our family?" she continued as she started rubbing Luna's back. "What is in America that only the scouts are going for?" Serena continued questioning Luna, but Luna remained asleep.
* * * * * *
"Well," began Amy, standing with Raye, Serena, Mina, and Lita, outside of the airport, "we're going to America!"
"How did you ever figure that out, Amy?" giggled Serena, "Was it the fact that our tickets say, CALIFORNIA, USA? Or maybe it was the tags on our luggage?"
"By the way, Serena," began Mina, "do you know for sure what city we are going to?"
"I believe," interrupted Lita, "we are going to begin at Los Angeles, then to San Francisco, and finally Sacramento, then we come home!" she stated, pointing a finger for each destination.
"That was our original plan," began Luna, "but we go straight to Sacramento, and stay for a short time."
"How short?" asked Raye with a puzzled look.
"I don't know, we have business to take care of, then we return immediately." purred Artemis, who had walked up behind the group, and was now getting a rub from Amy. "I think it would be a good idea to get inside and checked in, or else we won't even get to America!"
The five girls and two cats walked into the airport.
* * * * * *
"You know," began Amy, who was by now on the plane sitting next to Serena. "if this plane crashes on the way to America, we will probably land in water. Which at the speed the plane is travelling, would react much like cement. Except worse, because cement stops you. We'll keep going through the water!"
"I really appreciate the information, but I'm not scared!" said Serena sarcastically. She grabbed the 'safety information' as soon as Amy turned the other direction, and studied in.
"Excuse me?" came a girls voice. Serena looked up, she saw a girl, about her age and height sitting next to her. Her dark brown hair nearly reaching her shoulders and partially covering her face and one of her two ice blue eyes. "Hi, I am Terra." said the girl, "I will be sitting here for this trip."
"I am Serena, and this is my friend Amy," began Serena, "and over there," Serena pointed to the middle of the plane, "are my other friends, Lita, Mina, and Raye."
"Nice to meet you, Serena." said Terra, but Serena was again involved in the safety information.
Serena's handbag started to wiggle. "oh!" gasped Serena, and she unzipped the bag a little.
"Meow." purred Luna.
"Shh!! We don't want anyone to hear you, you're not supposed to be here!" whispered Serena.
"Meow." purred Luna in agreement.
* * * * * *
"So the Elements are going to meet up with the Inner scouts eh?" said Omega, walking around his lair, talking to no one in particular. "I might have to revive the Senses. I never thought this day would come." whispered Omega, almost sad.
"You don't need to revive the Senses just yet," began Alsop, Omega's wife. "Let me cut the engines in the airplane, they'll never make it to land, the plane will crash, killing the Inner scouts and the leader of the Elements! Leaving the other three Elements in distress, and easier to defeat!"
"I love the way you think," Omega complied, embracing Alsop. "Please, go cut the engines to our troubles, my love." With one final kiss Alsop left the room, her long golden hair flowing gently behind her.
* * * * * *
Back on the plane, Serena, Raye, and Amy, were all asleep. Raye had switched places with Terra, so Terra could talk to Lita, and Mina.
"Would you like anything to drink?" asked a stewardess.
"No thank you," replied Mina, Lita, and Terra, in unison.
"Okay," replied the stewardess.
"I like your hair," Mina spoke in awe, "it's so golden."
"Thank you," replied the stewardess, "I like it too," she smiled.
Alsop continued past Raye, Amy, and Serena, muttering to herself, "Goodbye, its such a shame I don't hate you as much as the Elements, yet." She continued walking back towards the engines.
A few minutes later. The plane lurched forward, and began to slow. Serena immediately woke up and screamed, "What was that?"
"Relax," muttered Raye,, now awake as well, "I can't believe I sat next to you willingly!" Serena began to growl at this, but the captain's voice could be heard over the speakers.
"Attention passengers, this is the captain speaking, we have lost all engine power. Do not panic, please carefully remove the seatcover and brace for impact-which should occur in five minutes or so. Thank you."
"We're going to craa-ash!" shrieked Serena, squirming in her seat as if it would help.
By now everyone had taken care of their seatcovers and was holding tightly to the seats. Terra got up and started walking towards the bathrooms.
"Terra! Where are you going?" yelled Mina, but Terra kept walking, seemingly ignorant of Mina's words.
Terra thought to herself, "I knew there was something strange about that stewardess, she reminds me so much of..." Terra's face had a thoughtful expression as she tried to remember,. "ALSOP! Oh no," she began walking faster, "I must land this plane, which should be easy. At least for me." Terra continued to the restrooms and went in, checked to make sure she was alone, pulled a prism out of her pocket, held it straight up in the air and said. "EARTH PRISM POWER!" Suddenly a small sphere came from the prizm and grew bigger. Looking just like a world globe it engulfed Terra and began spinning. The quicker it spun the closer it got to Terra's body and anywhere it touched, became a sailor suit. Finally the globe stopped spinning and Sailor Earth was kneeling with one hand on the floor of the plane. Her suit was magnificent blue with green sleeves and a brown skirt.
"Psst! Serena." whispered Luna, "I have a bad feeling about this."
"Well," quivered Serena, "what do you want me to do about it?" she stuttered, "I can't transform in front of all these people!"
Suddenly, from the back of the plane came Alsop, no longer dressed as a stewardess, but in a magnificent long red silky dress, reaching down to her ankles, and gold sparkles randomly placed. She walked up to Serena, Raye, Amy, Mina, and Lita. "I am the mighty Alsop! And you are doomed to the seas! Tah tah scouts!" she laughed, "Tomorrow, you'll be eaten by the fishy!" Alsop smiled at the thought. She then raised her hands towards the ceiling and everybody but the scouts dozed off, sleeping. "Now its just you, and me, scouts!," she yelled, "My sister Beryl has told me many things about you, its a pity you were the cause of her demise. Isn't that ironic? Because now I'll be the cause of yours!" laughed Alsop hysterically.
"Not so fast," began Serena, as she wriggled to get out of her seatbelt, "Moon Prism P- huh?" Serena had caught sight of Sailor Earth and stopped in her transformation phrase.
"Not quite what you were expecting, eh Serena?" questioned Sailor Earth.
"Uhh.. uhh.. Power?" finished Serena, stumbling for words, as the other scouts eyes wide and mouths open. Serena was quickly transformed into Sailor Moon.
"Get a move on girls! Either help or get out of the way!" shouted Sailor Earth.
The scouts just stared, then Luna chimed in, "Transform you lazy scouts!"
"VENUS POWER!"
"MERCURY POWER!"
"MARS POWER!"
"JUPITER POWER!"
With that the five Sailor Scouts and Sailor Earth stood poised for battle.
"You can't defeat me!" yelled Alsop, "So why are you still here?"
"I am Sailor Moon, champion of justice, and on behalf of the moon, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And in case you're not quite sure, that means you!"
"Wonderful." said Sailor Earth, sarcastically, "We have a big mouth!"
"Moon Tiara Magic!" cried Sailor Moon, as she sent her tiara flying at Alsop, who slapped it down like a frisbee. "Anyone else want to try?"
"Let me handle her." said Sailor Earth. "Axis REVOLUTION!" she shouted.
"Mercury Bubbles BLAST!" shouted Sailor Mercury.
Alsop became dizzy by Earth's attack and blinded by Mercury's. Finding it hard to see she said, "I will come again, Sailor Scouts, and especially for you Sailor Earth." as she pointed toward the window, far from where Sailor Earth actually stood. With that she faded away back up to Sitilaer.
"Wow! That was awesome!" commented Sailor Moon.
"The bubbles really helped me," said Sailor Earth, breathing a bit harder than usual. "Thanks." "No problem." replied Sailor Mercury, as she walked towards the front of the plane.
"I hate to bring this up," Venus said, voice shaky, "but we still have no engines."
"And, the pilot's were Alsop's henchmen!" shouted Mercury, who was now in the otherwise empty cockpit.
"True," said Earth, "I'll give you the ground, if you can land the plane." Everyone looked at Mercury.
"Okay I'll do it!" she said. "Let's get to work!"
"Earth Growing POWER!" shouted Earth, as she pointed in the direction towards the ocean. Suddenly there arose land out of the water! "It's all up to you now Mercury!" shouted Earth.
"Gee thanks!" came the sarcastic reply from the cockpit, while she still tried to figure out the instrument panel.
Everybody went in the cockpit with Mercury to try and help. Each scout offering their own comments. "This goes here," "you press this button," "ooh coffee!"
"QUIET!" shouted Mercury. The room became silent. "Thank you. I think I have figured it out!"
"And just in time too," shouted Mars, "there's the ground!" With many swift hand movements Mercury safely landed the plane and put on the brake.
"Wonderful job Mercury!" They all breathed a sigh of relief.
All was quiet until Mercury opened her computer to see how far away they were from California. "According to my calculations, we are very close! The time it took Alsop to take down the engines gave us extra distance. We could walk there if we wanted!"
"I don't want to walk all that way!" complained Moon.
"We don't have a choice," said Earth, "who's going to come and get us?"
"What about teleporting?" asked Moon.
"Only if you want people to see you." replied Luna, who had strutted in with Artemis after the landing.
After thinking about that Moon sighed, "We walk."
After transforming back into their normal clothing the six girls began walking towards true land. Not much talk for the first fifteen minutes or so, until Raye stated, "So, you are Sailor Earth?"
"Yes," replied Terra, "I've been waiting for you."
"You have?" asked Serena, confused, "but how, you, how, uh.." They all laughed.
"Well," began Terra, "I am the leader of the Elements, we are Earth, Fire, Wind and Water. We have been having problems with Sailor Omega. A Sailor from years gone by. Turned bad by the evil Alsop, Queen Beryl's younger more beautiful sister. Omega is Alpha's brother. Alpha is on our side. We have been having trouble fighting Omega and Alsop lately, they have had stronger evil fighting against us. Alpha is advanced in age, she told me that you were going to come because of the defeat of the Negaverse. That lady from the plane was Alsop."
"Well she didn't put up much of a fight." Amy pointed out.
"Fighting isn't her strong point, she cut the power to the engines. Her power is based on machinery. If Omega had been there, you would be in trouble. As you should tell by the Greek name, his powers are very destructive. He can end what he wants almost as quickly as you can transform into the scouts!"
"Really?" exclaimed Lita, surprised at such a powerful description.
"Yes," replied Terra, "but he doesn't have a lot of strength left. The only reason he will use his remaining energy is if he is really really upset. Or something. The destruction part of his powers would drain almost all of his energy, and he would not survive long after that. He would miss Alsop too much, he doesn't hate us enough to lose her."
"That's sweet," said Serena, with a thinking expression, "I guess. So why have you been waiting for us?"
"That's yet another story." answered Terra.
"Omega doesn't want Crystal Earth to rise," began Terra, "if it does, that means it can't be destroyed by his power. It also would be very difficult to capture. Omega is trying to restore the Sitilaerian Empire to its once magnificent state. Earth just happens to be in his plans. If we can hold him off long enough for Crystal Earth to be completed, we just might be promoted, and we won't be destroyed!" added Terra. "Finally, if we can defeat him before the Crystallization begins, our lives would be a lot better. Although there may be attacks from other places! We don't know what all Omega has up there on Sitilaer. He might have a whole army, or he might have nothing." Terra continued. "If there are enough soldiers up there on Sitilaer, they may invade." Terra finally finished.
Terra handed Serena a bottle.
"Don't open it until the cloud inside turns black. When it does, that signifies the invasion. We'll need your help then."
"Uhh," started Serena.
"Serena," Luna began, "don't even try!" They all laughed.
"Meet me over there at the rocks on Monday at noon," said Terra, pointing toward a rock formation. "I'll introduce you to the other Elements."
"Okay," said Lita, "we'll be here." and Terra walked away towards the cities.
