Chapter One
Since the beginning I have been told that I was nothing special, I have always been told that I only have role in this team, and that was to help find the crystal and to protect it until we find the Princess who is the rightful owner of the jewel. That is my only goal and it is something I wanted to strive for, I just wanted to be invisible. I wasn't strong enough for this battle they wanted me to fight for them, and for this weakness I was hated.
A blonde girl with the longest pigtails fell for what was the tenth time that lazy afternoon and complained to a black cat that was leading the group of girls in short skirts, "Luna, Why am I even here, this search is ridiculous! It isn't like the crystals are just going to appear, with the Princess in tow saying 'Hi, looking for me?"
"Sailor Moon, this isn't about you, this is about the crystals, and you only can control the Moon wand to help us locate them, so would you just stand on your feet and do your job. The sooner we complete our mission the sooner you can go back to being unknown." Snapped the black cat with the golden crescent moon leading the group.
"Meatball Head would you just act your age, we don't need a two year old in this group, we just need to find the source of Mercury's readings and then we will be back in Tokyo. So just concentrate on keeping your face off the ground and pay attention to your surroundings." A girl in a red skirt with long black hair with a fiery temper retorted to the blonde, she turned to the girl in the same skirt outfit but in blue, with short blue-ish cropped hair, "Mercury are we there yet?" she sighed.
Mercury sighed, impatient with the black hair girl and her impatience, "Not too much further I hope."
Sailor Moon stumbled again at the harshness of the tone of voice they spoke to her in, took her by surprised, as she fell she let out a squeal as she fell down a small hole. When she stood back up, she looked ahead, and saw the rest of the team gather around Mercury and her mini computer, and then behind them, a big smiling dragon-looking monster drooling just behind them.
"Um, girls," Sailor Moon said with fear rising in her voice, her arm raised pointing at the beast.
The green girl, turned to face Sailor Moon, and snapped, "We don't have time for your games Serena, we are trying to track the reading."
"Jupiter, turn around!" Screamed Sailor Moon, to which Jupiter turned and saw the monster that was scaring the scout of the Moon.
The girls turned and braced themselves for an attack, and Sailor Moon stepped forward to the front of the group, "I don't know why you're here but on be . . ." Started Sailor Moon, but before she could continue Sailor Mars Interrupted pushing her out of the way, as Sailor Moon fell she twisted her ankle at an odd angle.
"Shut up Sailor Moon we don't need to hear that crap." Said Sailor Mars, "Mars Fire ball ignite" she screamed her attack
"Mercury Bubbles blast" said mercury;
"Jupiter thunder crash" said Sailor Jupiter;
And to join their attack Sailor Venus yelled "Venus Love Chain encircle"
With a crash the beast of vaporized and the Sailor Scouts jumped around congratulating each other with hugs and high-fives.
"We sure showed that beast didn't we girls," said Sailor Jupiter looking at each of the inner scouts but avoiding looking at Sailor Moon, who was sprawled on the ground near where Sailor Mars knocked her too. "However I think it is time to go back to Tokyo, we won't find anything but trouble here and plus it is a school night. Sailor Teleport?" The girls all agreed with the lightning scout. They gathered together and held hands and Teleported from the dark forest, leaving Sailor Moon behind.
When Sailor Moon finally gained her feet, balanced lightly on her ankle, she looked around the forest where she was left and groaned when she realized that the team she thought she was part of had left her behind again. "What they did it again" Sailor Moon whispered to herself, she silently transformed back into her civilian form, back into Serena and looked around her.
Serena was in the middle of a black forest; the only light was the lamp that her 'team' left behind when they teleported. Serena wandered around blindly, tears silently falling down her face, they had left her in the middle of no where, and with her limited directional skills, finally she sat down realizing that she was lost and she started crying loud sobs.
When her sobs finally subsided, she heard a faint beeping from her backpack. With a shrug, she shrugged out of the straps, unzipped the bag and rummaged around for the offending beeping. From her bag she pulled out a wand that had a large crescent moon at the top of it, and what looked like a small stage in the middle of it, that was flashing.
"This must mean that a crystal is near by." She struggled to her feet, and she held out the wand in front of her and she started to hobble in the direction that the beeping was getting stronger.
After some walking for some time, she ended up at a lakeside, with some freshly dug up dirt at her feet. At this point the wand was pointing to the ground, Serena got down on her knees and started to dig. After about half an hour of work she found a box and inside it was 6 of the Rainbow crystals.
"Why would the Negaverse leave them here?" she thought to herself. They had stolen the three that Tuxedo mask, her debonair savior, that always arrived in the nick of time to save her; and they had not gotten their hands on hers, that was locked safely in her jewelry box at home, so why leave them in this secluded hidden area of the Tokyo forest, could she have wandered into the Negaverse? Instead of standing around question how her dumb luck could have struck for her to find something so important, Serena quickly picked up the box of jewels, the wand and slipped it into her backpack, and she stumbled back the direction she came from.
It was dawn when Serena finally got home, instead of following what her body wanted to do she went to the bathroom to shower and get herself ready for school, too exhausted to even contemplate having that extra hour of sleep, and making herself later for school. Once out of the Shower, she went to her jewelry box and pulled out the extra jewel and slipped it into the box in her bag, she started the walk to school, made longer by her injury she got last night.
While walking Serena found her mind drifting to all the times that the scouts had ditched her, all the times they all had made hurtful comments to her. They obviously didn't want her around and they loved to torture her.
Serena made it to school early even with her injury, the day was uneventful, she sat by herself at lunch and thought about the box that was locked in her locker. When the final bell rang she slowly left the classroom. She didn't have anywhere to go, normally she would have detention, but because she was early to school she didn't get detention.
So she slowly wandered in the direction of her favourite place to go in the afternoon, the Arcade. While she walked she mused about what her situation would mean with the scouts. As now she had something they wanted the rainbow crystals. She mused to herself what she could get them to do just to get all the crystals. Granted everyone thought there was one more out there in a host but she could use that as further leverage.
While musing to herself, Serena was knocked out of her thoughts from a sharp pull of her arm, and hitting a strong chest.
"Why don't you watch where you are going Meatball head, you almost got yourself killed." Came a strong male voice, the reverberated through her body as she heard it.
"Nobody would care" Serena Mumbled to herself, slowly untangling herself from the man on the side walk.
"What was that Meatball head?" He asked with a grin passing over his face, his blue eyes sparkling, and the opportunity to taunt the blonde girl.
"Stop calling me that," She spat at him, brushing her clothes off with dust, "I said, you know I have a name, and I would like to be addressed with it." She lied and defended herself.
"Whoa, don't I even get a thanks for saving you from the traffic of Japan." He said feigning hurt.
"Shut up jerk, I am not in the mood for your taunting." And with that she hobbled off, and she continued going to the Crown Arcade and where she slumped into the back booth of the establishment and cried herself to sleep.
