It was a calm and quiet morning in Juuban, Tokyo, the birds were chirping their songs and the people were rushing from to and fro and just enjoy the calm Friday morning. Amongst all the people and the talking, street noise and music that could be heard that morning there was one soul person baring down the sidewalks of Juuban at a extremely high rate of speed; ducking, dodging and jumping over things in her way, to the people of Juuban, Tokyo, she was known as the 'Tsukino Express', and even seemed to have a time schedule that she 'ran' by.
But to her friends she was known as Tsukino Usagi She was... yet once again late for a meeting at the park. The Senshi had decided they'd had enough meeting at the temple and it was a nice enough day out, that they'd have one at a secluded part of the park. 3:30pm! Shimatta! Come on! Must go faster! she thought with an extra boost of energy ran to her limit and fastest speed, which would have made Haruka proud, knowing her goal was to 'Be as fast as the Wind'.
Usagi smiled at that thought. It's something to shoot for.
Three minutes later she took a sharp right turn and hauled it into the park to where her friends would be waiting for her. She hoped. They'd had some fights. Her and Rei, and that was fine. They always had them, nothing new... but lately, they'd been getting more and more aggressive towards her. She knew she was a klutz, a crybaby, and a ditz... but that was her. That was who she was. Sure she wasn't the Princess that she used to be, she was trying, it was just a phase she was going through... right?
She took a left rounding a thick bunch of bushes and collapsed to the ground on her knees, head bowed breathing heavily, trying to catch her breath, she could hear her friends talking about something, not paying attention to what it was at the moment, catching her breath. Uh-oh, she thought... She couldn't hear them talking any longer... Welcome to the Usagi Bashing Club! Was the sarcastic mental cheer.
It was coming, it always did. She'd get there late, they'd... mainly Rei, would yell at her for being stupid, lazy and... basically her. It hurt... and why she put up with it she'll never know. Why? Why? WHY!? her mind screamed. Because I'm kind caring and they're my friends... and they're right... A part of her mind calmly replied sadly, turning to look at her friends.
Rei was glaring at her, surprisingly, not saying anything, but holding back her fiery temper. Minako was upset but forcing a smile, always the one to be happy in any type of situation, and she knew how Usagi was, she knew she tried her best, but to the others, her best, obviously wasn't good enough. Ami was reading a book; half her eyes on the book, half glaring at Usagi. Makoto had a smile on her face, much like that of Minako's.
Usagi sighed. They'll never change... never see things from my point of view... never be me, and never understand... she thought looking at each, then settling her gaze on Minako and Makato one last time. Mina-chan knows... she understands me and knows what it's like, but her patience also can only go so far. Makoto, my protective 'older sister' understands also, but like Minako, can only take so much... oh WHY must it be this way... shaking her head, clearing those thoughts, Usagi looked back at Rei.
"Usagi..." Rei started to growl out. Usagi stood up dusting off her school uniform and looked into Rei's fiery violet eyes with her sad ones.
"Gomen nasai, Rei-chan, but I had detention again, and got her as fast as I could. Onegai, if you... ya'll don't want me here for this meeting I'll understand..." she looked at each as a lone crystal tear slid down her cheek.
The others looked shocked. Didn't want her here? Why wouldn't we want her here? Minako thought looking at the others and seeing their faces, she thought that they were thinking the same.
Rei sigh and placed a hand on Usagi's shoulder, to which Usagi quickly slammed her eyes closed, visible flinching waiting for the onslaught of yelling, or whatever may happen. The others noticed and became worried. "Usagi-chan, doushite?" Rei asked in a soft voice.
Usagi nodded, "Hai, daijobu."
"Okay... well here sit down and we'll tell you what you missed out on chica!" Minako smiled happily as Usagi nodded and sat between her and Rei.
"Okay girly, listen up!" Makoto told Usagi smilin'. "First on the list! Mina-chan here came babbling about some-" she was cut off by Mina's protest.
"HEY! I don't babble!"
Makoto just smirked at her before continuing, earning a 'hmp' and a frown from Minako. "Cute guys and some strange new gal that just transferred to the school and then-" she was cut off again by Ami, "Usagi-hime, we've got two new threats..." she said in a serious tone waiting for her reaction to this news before continuing.
Usagi snapped her head around to look at her friend and nodded. "I see, and what are these new threats?" she said just as seriously.
The others grew wide eyed and had looks of 'What! No, 'I don't wanna fight' and whine' looks. Ami shook her head slowly, "Well... one we're not sure of just yet. We don't have much on them and aren't sure why their here or what they're going to do. The other, looks like left overs from the last battle."
Usagi just stared at her in shock. The last battle... she thought before laughing getting everyone staring at her in confusion. "Ami-chan doesn't know why their here or what their gonna do!" laughter "Oh my Kami-sama! Someone call the cops!! She doesn't know!"
They kept staring at her.
"Oh come on GUYS! Geez, you act as if it's the end of the world or something! We've been there defeated that! Come on lighten up!" Usagi stood still giggling and walked over to Ami. "But you, Ami-chan, not knowing is a good one. Come on! Lets go get some ice cream! And we'll figure out the who and why's later!" she said pulling Ami to her feet, grabbing her bag and running off to the ice cream stand down the road.
Everyone looked after her oddly. "You know she's right, don'tcha?" Mina said smiling at them, they nodded back. "Good then LETS GO!" She linked her arm through Makoto's in return Makoto grabbed Rei and Rei grabbed Ami, and they all headed down the street after the Meatball headed hyperactive girl.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" screeched a high-pitched voice, the girls sighed. "Usagi." They all said in unison and took off running towards the scream.
"Usa-chan wha- Oh my... MINNA HENSHI YO!" Ami called out as they all ran around the corner to henshi.
"Ami-chan, what was it? What's wrong?" Rei asked concern filling her voice as the gripped her henshi pen tighter.
"Usagi, youma, big." Was all she said before she henshied. "Mercury Crystal Power... MAKE-UP!"
The others nodded and follow suit. "Mars Crystal Power... MAKE-UP!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power... MAKE-UP!"
"Venus Crystal Power... MAKE-UP!" Sailor Venus looked at the others, they nodded, "LETS GO!" They made a mad dash around the allies corner, stopped and accessed the situation to find Usagi being held tightly around the neck by a ten foot tall greenish-brown youma that was a cross between a bear and a alligator. It had an alligator's head and tail but it had a scissor like end to it, while the bears body and claws.
Noticing Usagi's face turning a slight reddish-blue hue they yelled her name in unison, "USAGI!!" Venus had had enough; No One messed with her friends, let alone her princess and got away with it. No One. "Venus... Love and Beauty... SHOCK!!" she sent her attack flying.
"Jupiter... Oak... EVOLUTION!!" Jupiter yelled out, her attack merged with Venus' both slamming into the youma with a mighty force sending it back a few feet, but not making it loose it's hold on Usagi as they hoped.
Mars looked to Mercury, they both nodded at the same time. "Mars... Flame... SNIPPER!!!"
"Mercury... Aqua... RASPITY!!!" The two attacks forming as they were sent, slammed into the youma with a little less force then Venus' and Jupiter's did, was just enough to make the youma loose his... it's… grip on Usagi. She fell to the ground with a thud and moaned softly, trying to gasp for breath.
"USAGI MOVE IT!! GET OUTTA THERE!" Mars yelled to her earning a 'she-almost-died-and-your-mad?' look from Venus and Mercury, Jupiter just glared before running over picking up her half conscious princess and friend up, carrying her to safety. She returned nodding to the others. "Lets do it! Jupiter... Oak... EVOLUTION!!!"
Mercury and Venus nodded, "Mercury... Aqua... RASPITY!!!"
"Venus... Love and Beauty... SHOCK!!!" Mars just followed with her "Mars... Flame... SNIPPER!!!" All four attacks headed for the youma, it shot out a sticky green substance at the Senshi, Mars jumped to her right avoiding it, Jupiter back flipped outta the way, Mercury tried to run, but wasn't fast enough, Venus jumped but didn't make it in time, it grabbed her left foot and pulled her back to the ground, sticking her there along with the stuck Senshi of Mercury.
"Shimatta! Venus, Mercury are you alright!?" she yelled to them.
Venus nodded "Hai!"
Jupiter looked at the youma, trying to figure something out, "Mercury can you get some readings on that thing!? Find a weakness?" she called out hoping her friend could.
Mercury nodded already flying her fingers over her mini computer, trying to find a solution to the problem. "GOT IT!" she yelled looking at the youma through her visor.
"Jupiter, Mars, hit it on it's right side, above the hip! It's his weakest spot!"
They nodded. "Mars... Flame... SNIPPER!!!"
"Jupiter... Oak... EVOLUTION!!!" the two attacks went flying towards the youma... time seemed to go into slow motion as they watched, not noticing anything else.
"Silver... Honeymoon... Therapy... KISS!!!" Eternal Sailor Moon sent her attack flying to merge with Jupiter and Mars attacks. As the other Senshi heard the yell of the familiar voice all heads whipped around so fast, you'd think they'd of gotten whiplash from it.
"ETERNAL SAILOR MOON!!" they called out in unison to see her stumbling towards them, Jupiter took off and in a second was by her side supporting her.
"Arigatou... Mako-chan..." Usagi whispered giving her a weak smile, they turned their heads sharply as the cry of a dying youma pierced the air follow by a "YES WE DID IT!" from Venus and a very weak "Moon dusted..." from Eternal Sailor Moon before she passed out in Jupiter's arms "USAGI!!!" they all yelled running as she transformed back into Usagi.
