Chapter 1: Surprises and more surprises
"Kingdom Hearts. The worlds have given us this doorway. They want us to be the guardians of their destiny." (King Mickey, Kingdom Hearts II)
It was 13 pm in Tokyo. The day was sunny and the air was quite hot. In fact, it was too hot for a regular summer day, even in July. Very few people dared to be on the streets at that time of day, because the hot was almost unbearable. Still, the hot weather was not enough to keep Usagi Tsukino and her friends from meeting with each others in their usual hang out spot, Hikawa Shrine, which was also Rei's home. The white-marble floor was so hot that you could fry an egg on it. Usually, Usagi would wait for the others inside the shrine, but from some strange reason, that she could not explain, she wanted to wait for the others outside. She was leaning against a cherry-blossom tree that existed on the right side of the shrine, and next to her was her faithful feline companion, Luna, and her good friend, Rei. Usagi was wearing a blue and pale-pink cheerleader uniform, pink boots, and a pair of sunglasses. Rei, on the other hand was wearing her usual priestess clothes.
"Usagi, why do we have to wait for the others out here, in the sun?" –Rei asked her, as she waved a fan, trying to repel the hot.
"Since it's such a beautiful day, I thought it would be nice for us to wait for the rest of the gang out here." –She answered Rei with her gentle and sweet voice.
"But it's got to be like a 40ºC, Usagi! It's so hot that if I dropped an ice cube, it would melt before it touched the ground." –Rei complained.
"Rei is right, Usagi… It's quite hot. Why don't we wait for the others inside, where is fresh?" –Luna asserted, agreeing with Rei.
Usagi was about to answer to Luna, when she noticed that Ami, Makoto and Minako were climbing the staircase that lead to the shrine. Ami was wearing a white shirt, a cherry-red mini-skirt and a pair of white sneakers. On her hands, she was holding a copy of the latest book she had bought, "Quantum Physics: Mysteries of the Universe". Makoto was wearing a green sleeveless dress, which reached her knees, and a pair of black high-heel shoes. Usagi noticed that she was carrying a small package, which she hoped it was a box full of delicious treats that she had done for the group's reunion. As for Minako, she was wearing an orange tank top, a pair of jeans, a pair of orange tennis shoes and a pair of sunglasses. Accompanying them was Minako's faithful feline companion, Artemis. As soon as she saw them, Usagi waved at them.
"Girls, over here! –Usagi exclaimed.
In a matter of seconds, the girls got where Usagi and Rei were. Even though they saw each others everyday, Usagi was very happy to see them all, like if she had not seen them all in years.
"Hi, Usagi, hi, Rei, how are you today? –Ami asked, as she gave them a big hug, to which they answered that they were fine.
"Love your new look, Usagi! You look so pretty!" –Minako said, as she gave a closer look to the blonde girl's outfit.
"Really? You're sure it's not colourful?" –She asked –"I was afraid that it was too colourful, even for me."
"No, you're perfect, Usagi." –Makoto told her –"Those colours really suit you well, if you ask me. Are you trying to impress someone, besides Mamoru?" –She asked her, with a playful voice.
"Makoto, don't say that!" –Usagi exclaimed with a rather embarrassed voice-"You know that Mamoru is the only man for me. In fact, I'm counting the minutes for him to arrive… He promised me that he would meet us all here, so he should be arriving, any minute now."
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding with you…" –Makoto stated, letting out a girlish laugh, which was unusual for her, since she always tried to not show her most girlish side.
After that warm and cheerful reception, the girls all went to sit on the porch, where it was less hot, because the temperature was becoming unbearable. The sun was getting hotter by the minute. It was like if the gates of Hell had been opened, and the fiery flames that existed there were heating the air. But under the porch, it was fresh and cool, the perfect place for anyone to get out of the heat.
"It's not that I don't want to be here, Usagi, but why did you decided to call up this meeting?" –Ami asked her, as she sat down, always with her book in her hands.
"Yeah… You haven't told me either what was the occasion!"
"Well, I did not want to spoil the surprise, but, I guess I would have to tell it you soon or later… Chibiusa is coming to visit us!"
"What?!" –the four of them, including Luna and Artemis exclaimed, rather surprised with what they had heard.
"You heard me… Chibiusa is coming from the 30th century to visit us. She used the Silver Crystal to send me a message a couple of days ago, saying that she would arrive at exactly 14:30 p.m." –Usagi explained them. –"I wanted to tell you, but she made me promise that I would keep her arrival a secret."
"So that's why you were saying that today was a beautiful day to wait for them here… You were waiting to see if Chibiusa would arrive earlier than expected, weren't you?" –Rei asked Usagi.
"Okay, you got me… I was never a good liar, you all know that."
"We understand, Usagi. It'll be nice to see Chibiusa again." –Ami stated with a joyful smile in her face. –"But, have you also told Haruka and the others that she was coming to visit us?"
"Well, yes… I told them this morning about it, and from what I've heard through the phone, Hotaru was really excited about seeing Chibiusa again."
"No wonder… Those two were best friends, and will always be." –Minako said, as she grabbed Artemis and put him on her lap. –"But, where are they? If you told them that this morning, they should have arrived by now…"
Minako was not even able to finish that sentence, when they started to hear a strange noise. It sounded like something big was approaching them. Then, wind started blowing and leaves from the trees flew everywhere, like if a windmill had been magically conjured. Then, they all looked up and understood what was really going on. A white helicopter was flying up in the air. A few seconds later a rope ladder was tossed from it, and someone started climbing it down. The sun was too bright for them to see who it was at first sight, but after a couple of seconds, they all saw that it was Haruka and the rest of the girls who were coming down. The first one to reach the ground was Haruka, who was dressed in her usual tomboy outfit. She was wearing a white shirt, a pair of jeans and a pair of army boots. The second one to touch the ground was Michiru. She was wearing a beautiful floral dress and a pair of green matching high-heels. All in all, she was dazzling as always. Next, it was Setsuna who reached the ground. She was wearing a red t-shirt, black shorts and a pair of mountain-climbing boots. Finally, it was Hotaru who stepped out of the ladder. She was wearing a lavender mini-skirt, a yellow shirt, a pair of tennis shoes, and she was wearing a matching lavender bow on her head. They all smiled at the girls, as the ladder was pulled up and the helicopter got out of there, heading north.
"Only you would come up with an entrance like that one…" –Rei stated, as she got up.
"What did you expect? At least we have style." –Haruka said, as she and the others approached the group.
"Hello, girls. How are you?" –Michiru asked them with her sweet voice.
It did not take much time for all of them to start talking with each others. Haruka and Michiru were mostly quiet as always, but they participated in the talk, saying a thing or two. They quickly found out that the four of them had been travelling all over Japan, seeing the marvels that their country had to offer them, over the last months, right after the defeat of Galaxia.
"We've been in Kyoto, in Osaka, in Yokohama…" –Hotaru excitedly reported them all, showing them pictures of the places she and the rest of the girls had been.
"Looks like you've been quite busy having fun, Hotaru." –Makoto said, as she picked up a photo where you could see Setsuna and Hotaru next to each other, with Yokohama bay behind them.
Time went by, and Usagi kept looking at her watch, waiting for Mamoru to show up, but also, waiting for Chibiusa. She was getting really nervous, because Mamoru was supposed to meet them there, but he had not showed up yet. Makoto managed to leave the conversation for a moment, and went to see what was going on with Usagi. She sat right next to her, and gently put her hand in her left shoulder. With a warm smile, she said:
"What's the matter, Usagi? Is something troubling you?"
"It's Mamoru… He's taking too much to get here." –Usagi answered her. –"Do you think anything bad might happen to him?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Usagi. I'm sure he's just running a little late, that's all." –Makoto tried to cheer her up a little. –"You'll see… He'll be here in no time."
Minutes passed, and finally, at 14:30 p.m. they all waited for something to happen. At first, nothing happened, and all of them started to wonder what could have happened. Then, the sky over the temple got darker. The wind started to blow harder, like if a storm was passing through there. A bright light appeared in the middle of them, and little by little, not one, but three figures appeared. One of them as clearly Chibiusa, but the other two were complete strangers… The two strange figures were two boys, one of them from the same height and age as Setsuna, with dark spiky hair and white skin. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a red t-shirt, as well as a pair red and white of Converse-All's. As for the other one, he was the same height and age as Hotaru. He had dark hair, with a bowl cut, and he was wearing a pair of orange sneakers, black pants and an orange sleeveless shirt. As for Chibiusa, she was wearing a blue dress, with matching shoes. The group did not know how to react to that… They were waiting for Chibiusa, but they never thought that she would be accompanied, especially not by two boys.
"Hello, girls!" –Chibiusa exclaimed out loud, breaking the ice.
Usagi was the first one to hug her. She was so happy to see her, especially since it had been so long, since the two of them saw each other. A small of tear joy ran down her face, as she looked at Chibiusa. She had not changed a bit… She was taller no doubt about it, but her style had not changed a bit.
"Chibiusa, let me take a look at you… You've grown so much!" –Usagi exclaimed, as she took a closer look at the pink-haired girl.
"And you haven't changed a bit… In fact, none of you have. It's so good to see you all again."
"Hmm, aren't you going to present us your friends, Chibiusa?" –Minako asked her, as she looked at them very closely.
"Oh, I'm sorry, girls… Allow me to present you Johnny and George, they're my new bodyguards, if you can call them that. They are Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn" –she said, as they waved them.
"WHAT?!" –all of them chorused.
"Small Lady, I don't wish to be rude, but me and Hotaru are Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn." –Setsuna said with a rather confused voice and look, not understanding what was really going on there. Chibiusa hearing this let off a few laughs, and then said:
"No, no, no… You got it all wrong." –She said, between laughs. –"Maybe it's better if they tell you what is really going on."
The boys got near the group, and took a seat on the porch. The taller one took off his sunglasses and said:
"First of all, my name is Johnny Meioh and he's George Tomoe, and just like Small Lady has said, we are Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn… But we're not from this world. Or even better, we're not from this dimension."
"You're saying you're not from this dimension. Does that mean you came from another dimension?" –Ami asked.
"Exactly… We are from a parallel dimension." –George said, looking at Hotaru, who was trying to understand what they were saying.
"But, how did you ended up in the 30th century?" –Haruka asked them.
"In our dimension, our Sailor Mercury created a device which allowed us to cross between dimensions, and explore them. We were the first ones to use it… But, let's just say that things did not end up has we predicted." –Johnny explained. –"Our plan was to enter in your dimension for a few minutes, and then return to ours. Unfortunately, the device went 'Looney Tunes', and we ended up getting stuck in the 30th century. We contacted Queen Serenity from your dimension, and until we had any news from our dimension, we would serve as Small Lady's bodyguards."
"That means… You are me?" –Hotaru asked shyly to George.
"That's right, girl. I'm you, and you're me. Think of me as your twin brother from another dimension." –George said, as he got in front of Hotaru, noticing that they shared the same eyes.
"And, well, we also have other designations… While the two of you are Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn, we are Sailor Pluto FX Destroyer and Sailor Saturn Net Surfer. The reason why we have different codenames, is because in our dimension, we battle against bad guys using not only are powers, but also, every piece of modern technology that we come up with."
The entire group was astounded and confused with those explanations. Ami, Minako, Makoto and Rei, as well as Usagi seemed to accept their new colleagues, but as for Haruka and the rest of the girls, they still had their doubts about them. Luna and Artemis were also looking at them with rather suspicious looks.
"And how do we know if you're not some kind of fiends?" –Haruka asked them, giving them a really cold look.
"Your future version also gave us the same look, and asked them same thing, you know?" –George stated.
"And you know what we told her? We told her that if she didn't want to believe in our story, that was her problem, not ours… So, we give you the same answer, okay?" –Johnny said, as he looked her in the eyes. For a few seconds, their eyes kept looking onto each other.
Seeing that if they did not do anything, Haruka and Johnny would probably start fighting right over there, Usagi decided to break the tension, by reminding them why they were there, trying to smooth things a bit.
"Come on, guys. This isn't the time for us to fight… It's time to celebrate!"
Both Haruka and Johnny sighed, and silently agreed that the reason why they were there was to celebrate Chibiusa's visit. Still, what their mouths could not say out loud, their eyes could express it. They said: "We'll finish this later."
Trying to give them a chance, Setsuna and Hotaru sat next to the 'new' Sailor Scouts. Makoto decided to reveal what was inside the box she had brought with her. Inside it, there were delicious cookies that she had been baking all night, for that encounter. They all looked at the cookies and smiled, especially Chibiusa, who missed Makoto's cooking while in the 30th century, she said that although Makoto's future self was an awesome cook too, she could not surpass her.
"It's true. You're a much better cook, than your future self, Makoto." –Chibiusa stated.
"Thanks, Chibiusa, although I think it's a little bit difficult for me to accept that my future self is a worst cook than me…" –Makoto giggled, as she gave her the first cookie.
Chibiusa was just about to grab the cookie, when the earth shook for a few seconds. They all felt it, and at first thought it was just a small earthquake. But then, they all noticed that the way the earth shook, was not the same as when it is an earthquake. Then, Johnny's wristwatch started beeping out loud, and he looked at it, making a rather serious face.
"What's going on with your watch?" –Rei asked him.
"Either my watch is broken, or we got trouble." –Johnny said. –"This watch is not just a watch, it's also a device which picks up the energy from any kind of enemy that might be near, and I think that something or someone is lurking by."
Hearing this, they all concentrated and tried to figure out where danger would come from. Artemis then heard something moving in the bushes, in front of them.
"Everyone, it's coming from there!" –Artemis exclaimed.
They all looked at the bushes, and waited to see what would happen. Seconds went by, and nothing happened. They all started to think that Artemis had heard things. Still, Johnny's watch kept warning them that an enemy was near them. Tired of waiting, Luna jumped from the porch and went to investigate. She got inside the bushes, only to be thrown out of them with such force, that if it was not for Minako, she would have hit the ground pretty hard. Minako looked at Luna, and saw that she had a huge scratch on her beautiful black hair. Something or someone had attacked her, and it looked like it had no mercy to whatsoever.
"Are you alright, Luna?" –Minako asked her, as she looked at the scratch, only to see that although the scratch was huge, it was just a superficial wound.
"Over there, guys… Watch out…" –Luna
From the bushes a horrific black monster with the huge claws appeared. It was no bigger than a garden gnome, but something in it made all of them fear for their safety. His huge white eyes, showed no emotion. It had no mouth, but somehow, it could produce a strange groan, which got louder and louder. It walked on the direction of Usagi and the others.
"What is that thing?!" –Usagi asked the others.
"I don't know. I've never seen anything like it before." –Setsuna stated, as she held Hotaru close to her, wrapping both her arms around her shoulders.
"The same thing goes for us. We never saw this kind of fiend in our dimension." –George said.
"Well, whatever he is, he is not alone, guys… Look!" –Makoto exclaimed, pointing out to similar creatures that had also appeared from nowhere.
In a matter of seconds, the entire Sailor Scouts group became surrounded by these strange enemies, and although the enemies did not look like they were going to attack them, they all felt that they were dealing with something unknown, and worst, something far more dangerous, than anything they had ever faced before.
