Teenage mutant sailor Senshi : Revenge of the Jigoku Empire
Chapter 1: To America; The Senshi In New York
*Clack clack*
Eria's Ice white shoes clacked against the black marble floor in a rhythmic passion. She savoured this sound, it was demanding and dominant; exactly how she wants everyone to think of her. That way, her position as a Princess of the Jigoku Empire is reinforced, as well as her loyal subjects being afraid of stepping out of line, which proved effective.
She continued to stride amongst the marble palace corridors with attitude and eventually, she reached the entrance to her throne room.
The white doors; it's pattern was almost snowflake like and was covered from head to toe in interesting ruins only a demon like Eria could translate.
At her strict command of open inside her head, the doors were thrown wide to grant her passage.
The chamber beyond was dark. It's walls and floor an icy white, despite being a contrast to black, seemed to blend right in with the darkness, along with her loyal subjects inside.
The doors creaked shut slowly behind her until the room was bathed in darkness... then a blue flame flickered on... and another... and another, then the whole chamber sparked awake and it was bathed in a dim blue light.
The chamber was very tall like a cathedral roof, it's roof displayed a scene from The Book Of Jigoku, which depicted the bloody fight between the Sailor Senshi and Demons. It's art was quite like from the renaissance period on earth, a period of art which deeply interested Eria. It's colour showed a realistic beauty which other art on earth such as manga and artists such as Picasso couldn't replicate.
Eria's younger sister Cordelia had this painted in her chamber to give it some more interesting qualities which Eria was grateful for.
Eria continued to stride and her loyal followers, who had made a very wide passage like a catwalk bowed as she swished past, her black cloak billowing out behind her sassily and elegantly.
She stopped at the round pool of water in front of her throne. It's surface flat like ice and colour a light misty blue.
She then put her foot out in front of her elegantly and took a step onto the icy water which she casually walked across before reaching the small flight of stairs up to her throne.
She sat down on the ice throne which let off a ghostly fog around it.
As she sat, her followers stopped bowing and all looked up at her engaged and intrigued.
She too engaged back to them, ready to share her information. "It's going to happen soon" was all she said. At once all her followers let out excited whispers and murmurs before quickly silencing themselves.
"The time is approaching for us demons to regain control. The konton rocks around the Earth city of New York are ready to be powered, it's been confirmed by General Jadeite" (she scoffed at the name Jadite) "that we can now gather energy to find our imprisoned emperor. And I have another announcement..." all the followers crammed their necks up to look at Eria on her high throne, their interest at its peak, "I have been chosen by king Adam and Queen Lilith to lead this mission of which I have accepted whole heartedly." She paused, caressing her white long hair with her long blue nails before continuing "I will of course need all of you to participate and gather energy, of which I will admit will not be a easy task". Eria's gaze pierced all her followers faces sternly. She then breathed in.
"It has been confirmed that the Sailor Senshi of this solar system have all survived silver millennium and have reincarnated on Earth." Her followers gasped and started to mumble to each other nervously. "There's nothing to fear, they are all just silly little girls in skimpy sailor uniforms. With our power, we can crush them. I believe it!" At her reassuring words, her followers relaxed a little, but there was still an anxious air around them. The sailor Senshi were the strongest warriors in the galaxy, only pure demons like Eria could match their power.
"Now, who here would like to gather energy first... Come on, don't be afraid!" Some of the followers looked at each other nervously, secretly wishing someone would step forward so they didn't have to face the Sailor Senshi.
A moment later, a woman around eighteen years old huffed to herself, her colleagues were such idiots.
The sailor Senshi are nothing compared to me!
She shoved through the small crowd energetically which got her evil looks from her colleagues, to the front of Eria's throne before bowing low with one knee raised and the other against the cold marble floor.
Her hair was a raven black, and her eyes a malicious blue. Some would describe her as bitchy and ditzy, whilst others would class her as energetic and loyal. Her outfit was a short sleeve aqua blue dress, underneath which was a few layers of armour. She had knee high black boots and black stockings which also had a thin layer of armour.
"Ah" Eria smiled amused "I see the powerful Lumi has volunteered. Good. I know you'll bring me excellent results my dear Lumi. Thank you".
Lumi blushed a little, she had always admired Eria like an idol, now she can prove herself to her. "You don't need to worry your majesty. I promise I won't fail. I will gather vast amount of energy for the Empire and make you proud!" Lumi announced energetically.
Eria smiled, satisfied with Lumi's loyalty. "I hope so Lumi, now go to Earth and gather energy. I will award you with the title of head follower if you produce excellent results." At this Lumi bowed quickly and smiled widely, turning on her heel, past the many envious and narrowed looks received by her fellow colleagues and out of the chamber.
The doors clasped shut behind her as she marched away. She grinned evilly to herself.
"Im coming for you, Sailor Senshi!" she yelled before laughing haughtily to herself.

Four months earlier...
Thursday 10th March 2005
Tokyo, Japan:
Now a seventeen year old almost in her final year of High-school who still had her iconic pigtail hairstyle, Usagi Tsukino couldn't believe how slowly time had passed. It was like time itself was playing a cruel and nasty joke on her which she didn't find remotely amusing despite her carefree personality.
Mamoru has now been at his University in New York City for almost a month now and Usagi could honestly say, it was like a slow stab to the heart.
After coming back from Sagittarius zero star and the galaxy cauldron, Mamoru and Usagi lived together for a few months until Mamoru reapplied for a place at a New York University.
Shortly after, he gained his place and left.
At first Usagi thought she could bare it, but after a while, it just reminded her of the hell that happened a year ago.
It wasn't like before when Mamoru had been killed by Galaxia and Usagi who had her mind altered, was left alone with no letter or call from him.
Mamoru will send letters and call her, but still... "I still really miss him" Usagi tearfully whined to her group of friends under Sakura trees at lunch time. "I know I get to see him for the rest of my life and that this is temporary but still. It just isn't the same as seeing him in person. The wedding has also been postponed until he finishes university!"
She then got slapped on the back quite hard from a blonde girl with a red ribbon in her hair, this girls name is Minako Aino; also known as the super heroine Sailor Venus.
Usagi let out a loud cough due to the force of the slap which burned Usagi's back .
"Cheer up Usagi, and stop being down in the dumps! Look, we will be starting our third year of High-school and summer break will soon begin so relax! Maybe then we can see your dearest Mamo during summer! Anyway, when he finishes university, you can both finally get married! He's only there for a year!" She chortled happily.
Usagi stopped crying and smiled widely. The thought of being Mamo's wife was her dream. She blushed at the thought of it. "That's right Mina, oh my dear friend, how would I ever live without you!" They both then grasped hands and looked into each others eyes with admiration.
Meanwhile around them, the other girls sweat dropped and sighed.
"Gosh you two, we'll be in our final year of high-school soon. Please won't you both stop acting like middle school students." Ami Mizuno, a girl with short dark blue hair sighed to herself ashamed.
"Usagi will never grow up, she's as immature as a preschooler. That would mean she would be unfit for being Queen." Rei Hino sassily flicked her long raven hair as she said this.
They all stared at her in shock, and Usagi let out a whine. "Rei, you're so cold. I know you transferred from TA academy to Juban to be with us, but it doesn't mean you always have to hang around" Usagi pouted.
Rei took no notice and just sassily ate a rice ball filled with raspberry Jam. Usagi just gritted her teeth. Rei was so cold and nasty sometimes.
Makoto just waved her hand "Now now guys, you should all stop arguing, we're living in peace, so be grateful." Makoto was a tall girl for her age, she has long brown wavy hair tied up in a pony tail. She also wore a set of rose earrings which has become quite an iconic look for her.
Mina sighed "Yeah, we know Mako."
She then suddenly grinned at Makoto who looked back in confusion.
"W-what?"
Mina never looked so enthusiastic to answer a question. "Well my dear, as I'm the Senshi of love, I would really like to know about this little kissing partner you have. So what's the deal, is he your boyfriend?!" Mina teased.
Mako went bright red, Ami went stone stiff, Rei looked a little surprised and Usagi just beamed.
"Spill the pork buns Mako!" Usagi hollered.
Mako sighed. "Alright, but first... Mina where- how... no, how do you know this? I haven't told anyone yet."
Mina now looked uncomfortable. "Well, umm I may have seen you two holding hands and kissing in a library."
"What! Were you following me?"
"What were you doing in a library?" Rei frowned.
Mina looked at them both affronted. "Mako, I didn't mean to follow you, I just came across you and the hot guy by accident..." Mako looked taken back, Mina then scoffed "and Rei... I was in the library because they have magazines, just for your information".
Rei didn't look convinced. Ami gasped offended.
"Wait, what day and which library was this?"
"Juban public library last Thursday" Mina and Mako said at the same time.
Ami scoffed. "I was in the same library, why didn't you say hi to me? I wouldn't of minded if you sat with me."
Usagi gasped. "You snakes!" Usagi hissed, pointing at Mina and Mako accusingly.
Mako and Mina looked very awkward. "Well... umm..." Mina fiddled with her thumbs.
"I was with my... boyfriend and I didn't want you to see us together... although now it doesn't matter now!" She then glared at Mina.
Mina laughed nervously. "Sorry Mako... and sorry Ami."
They both smiled slightly. Her apology sounded genuine. "Don't worry about it." Mako said coolly.
Rei however looked suspicious. "That still doesn't explain what you were doing in a library" Rei folded her arms, expecting an answer.
Mina again laughed nervously. "Rei, why do you care so much... I mean, can't a girl go to the library for fun, haha..." she sounded very uncomfortable but then suddenly shifted her expression to interest and gossip. "So Mako, please tell us about your new hubby" Mina quickly changed the subject.
"Yeah tell us" Usagi sat up enthusiastically.
Even Ami looked at her curiously which was odd, normally Ami wouldn't be interested in this stuff.
Rei however sat in silence as Mako told the girls how her new boyfriend, Kenji met her. Her heart felt like it was poked with a sword.
I was at that library too... I thought I saw Mina there, why didn't Mina say hi to me? Does she not like me anymore?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Later that night, when the moon illuminated the sky like a spotlight, across the city of Tokyo, Haruka Tenoh, a sandy haired race car driver sped across the city anxiously in her new silver Ferrari.
She had to pick up her girlfriend Michiru in a few minutes and Haruka hated being late, it was so rude to turn up late.
She sped around a corner so fast that she almost lost control of the car. If she wasn't a world famous race car driver, she probably would of crashed her car and died by now.
Ever since returning from the galaxy cauldron and finishing High-school along with Michiru, she indulged fully into being a race car driver... as well as a father figure to Hotaru who was now fourteen years old.
Time was going so fast, Hotaru was growing up so fast, and her love for Michiru grew stronger and stronger by the day, she just wished time would stop...
"Speak of the devil" she mumbled as she turned a corner, and stopped outside a nightclub called The Purple Dragon. Michiru was standing in front of the club elegantly, violin case in one hand and a pile of roses in another. She looked quite cheerful and very cool. She was noticeable by her teal hair and her wonderful physique.
Haruka beeped the car horn which startled Michiru a little. Her smile widened as she walked towards the car. Haruka opened the car door and climbed out to hug Michiru.
Michiru sweetly planted a kiss on Haruka's cheek. Haruka quickly took the roses and violin case and put them in the car before turning back to Michiru and hugging her again.
She was wearing a pair of teal coloured heels and a turquoise dress with millions of sparkling sequins, she had a concert today which explained the fashion choice.
"You look cheerful, did the concert go well?" Haruka mumbled sniffing in Michiru's wonderful scent.
She always smells truly wonderful. God she's perfect!
"It went perfectly, I think a Hollywood Agent was there" Michiru softly said.
Haruka chuckled "How did you know?"
Before Michiru could reply, two well built men, who were singing dreadfully, came out of the night club behind them.
Upon viewing Haruka and Michiru hugging they wolf whistled.
"Look here Ken, two women presenting themselves to us" the more cockier looking man slurred.
The taller and more muscular man called Ken grunted "How sweet of them. Hey ladies!" He hollered obviously drunk.
Haruka and Michiru both looked at him frowning. The two men both staggered over, obviously drunk.
When they were a foot away, both Haruka and Michiru could smell the alcohol, it was the most revolting smell.
Haruka stiffened, ready to fight whilst Michiru stood calm and collected. "May we help you?" She asked them politely.
Ken looked her up and down, like an animal ready to pounce on its pray. "Just wondering if you two pretty ladies would like to come with us somewhere private. I mean with sexy men like us..."
Haruka interrupted, "You two seem like a lovely couple together, instead of praying on women, why don't you both go somewhere private together? You two seem to be made for each other judging by your attitudes. " Haruka suggested.
The other man laughed like it was a joke. "Go off together" He then smirked "What two men? That's just disgusting and unnatural."
Michiru then frowned. "What's unnatural? Showing love in a different form... yeah so unnatural" she said sarcastically.
"Yeah it is. It's alright if it's two women, but two men... nah... that's just disgusting." The man said smirking widely at Haruka and Michiru.
Haruka and Michiru both had appalled looks on their faces. "You two... how... disgusting!" Haruka growled. The two men looked angry and offended. "Let's go, Michiru, this place smells like bullshit" Haruka said coolly.
"I agree" Michiru smirked coolly.
The men stood still for a second, before their rage fully took over. "Listen here you little bitch..." Ken was about to grab Haruka before his arm was caught by Michiru.
She looked frightening, but he wasn't going to admit that. And anyway, she didn't stand a chance "What are you going to do little lady... throw m- HEY!?" Ken was then thrown onto the ground by Michiru who's eyes sparked with silent rage. His body made a very nasty slapping noise when it hit the ground. He groaned before falling silent, he was knocked out.
The other man started towards Michiru with a loud "YOU FUCKING CUN-!" before being kicked in the face by a glaring Haruka.
Upon impact, Haruka's black Gucci boot slapped against the mans face and in a split second, was knocked out.
He fell to the floor unconscious on top of Ken. Both of them had broken noses as blood was pouring profusely out like a waterfall.
People on the street stared anxiously at Haruka and Michiru who turned back to Haruka's car. Michiru was quite calm whilst Haruka was fuming.
"Stupid men, honestly this sort of behaviour is unacceptable, especially in today's society!" She growled to herself.
"I know Haruka" Michiru said softly, acting unaffected by the events that transpired
"Anyway, who cares about them, we have a wonderful daughter to be getting home to right now" she said cheerfully.
Haruka looked at the time on her cars digital display. It was almost eleven pm.
"Damn, it's quite late" She realised "Best we get home now, I don't think Hotaru will go to bed until we get back, and she has school tomorrow".
Michiru nodded. She turned on the radio which was playing Ode To Joy and turned the volume up. Haruka started the car and drove away, leaving the two men outside the night club surrounded by strangers, still unconscious.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Setsuna looked up from her class essays she finished marking. It was almost eleven. She smirked to herself. "You're getting better at this Meioh" she mumbled to herself happily.
Ever since becoming a teacher at Juban middle school, her life became more occupied.
She loved her job, she loved teaching students all she knew, she felt like a wise master teaching her warriors. Although in her case, it's the weapon of knowledge.
She loved the students, they were all so good , everything was going so well...
She sniffed...
Wait, what's that smell?
She sniffed again...
That smells like...
She gasped dramatically and then her face went stony. She's smoking in Hotaru's room again!
Setsuna stormed across the expensive apartment study and out into the corridor where the bedrooms were. She halted outside a Black door decorated with fake diamonds which had a sign that read 'Hotaru Tomoe' and she grasped the door handle violently and yanked it down so hard it broke off the door. But she didn't care. She was too angry.
She burst into the room in a fit of rage.
"What have I told you about smoking in the house?" She managed to say in a silent but deadly tone.
Across the room, on a black bed surrounded by fairy-lights of purple, Hotaru Tomoe looked very ashamed and nervous.
"Sorry Setsuna Mama, but it wasn't me..." she trailed off. She hated making Setsuna angry. It was so scary and shameful.
Sitting at the windowsill, cigarette in hand, was Hotaru's friend, Sakura Ravel. She was a red haired girl who looked older than she should. She was in the same year as Hotaru and currently fourteen years old.
She was known for her rebelliousness at school and outside, however despite this, she always had good manners towards Setsuna.
She was smart and studious, but no one knew why she did such rebellious things, especially for a fourteen year old.
Sakura looked very frightened and sorry. She then flicked the cigarette out of the open window.
"I'm really sorry Sensai" Sakura looked at her lap feeling very bad and ashamed.
Setsuna reflected this and sighed, letting out all the anger she possessed before. "It's fine but please don't do it again, I don't like getting angry like this. Sakura, I know that I cannot stop you from smoking, so please if your going to smoke, please don't do it inside the confines of Hotaru's bedroom". Setsuna then smiled "Right, before bedtime, would you two like some hot chocolate?" Both girls sat up ecstatically and beamed.
"Yes please Mama!"
"Thank you Sensai!"
Setsuna smiles sweetly. "Okay, you two wait here, I'll bring it in for you, then it's bedtime okay, it's about eleven o'clock right now and you two have school tomorrow."
"Okay!" Both girls chortled together, looking at each other happily.
Setsuna left the room and was about to close the door when she remembered that she broke the handle off. She picked it up from the floor clumsily. She sighed.
I ought to calm down, honestly Meioh, pull yourself together.
She then directed herself towards the brightly lit kitchen and started to make Hotaru and Sakura hot chocolates. She threw the gold door handle on a chair which made a dull thud.
Around a few minutes later, a Fuming Haruka and a calm Michiru came through the kitchen door.
"Hello you two, what happened? You both look as if you've been in an altercation." Setsuna analysed their faces carefully.
Michiru smirked "How could you tell?"
"Well" Setsuna put a thumb towards her mouth as if she was trying to work out some ancient language "Haruka looks like she wants to kill every human on the planet and you look too cool and calm for your own good."
At this both Haruka and Michiru laughed which cheered them up. "Honestly Setsuna, your too pure and innocent for this world..." Haruka started before the gold door handle caught her eye "What happened to the door handle?"
Setsuna went red "Oh, this, umm... Usagi came over and she accidentally broke Hotaru's bedroom door handle off..." she started before catching a glimpse at Michiru's amused smirk and Haruka's amused frown. "Okay fine, Sakura was smoking in Hotaru's room and I thought it was Hotaru, so I got angry and... I accidentally broke the door handle."
At this Haruka laughed however on the contrary, Michiru suddenly sat up like she was suddenly shocked by a taser. "Wait, she didn't smoke inside the apartment did she!"
Setsuna looked at her unsure to tell the truth or lie, Michiru was scary when she was angry. "Umm inside, but it's not too bad, a bit of air freshener will-"
At once there was a terrifying growl from Michiru which made Haruka sweat drop and back away slightly.
Michiru took a deep breath and sat back down. "Okay, your right, it's not a bit deal..." she reassured herself.
Haruka, feeling it was safe, sat back down in her seat. "Whats sakura doing here? I thought it was a school night?"
"It is, but I promised Sakura she could stay one night, and despite the smoking, she is a good and respectable guest." Setsuna said reassuringly.
Haruka and Michiru seemed more calm now and so they made themselves coffee.
"So anyway, what happened?" Setsuna asked intrigued.
Haruka's face darkened. "Just two drunk men trying to cat call me and Michiru. They were talking about how being a homosexual man is wrong. They were also very full of themselves. When we turned to leave, one tried to jump us but Michiru sorted him out." Haruka smirked at a elegant Michiru beside her who was drinking a coffee with sass.
"Well, it will only teach them a lesson not to harass women and stop being homophobic towards men" she stated coolly.
Setsuna smiled slightly "I guess so. I've noticed many people in Tokyo have been acting quite... How should I put it..."
"More Homophobic and prejudice" Haruka interjected, "Yeah I've noticed that too, ever since that man got into power here... honestly, I can't stand his attitude, so outdated in my opinion."
Michiru sighed "I just hope people see sense soon and realise that thinking that way is wrong. Who knows? Maybe Usagi might awaken into Neo-Queen Serenity and change the world for the better."
"No, that won't happen yet." Setsuna simply stated. "She won't awaken as queen until she's twenty-two years old."
Haruka and Michiru looked towards Setsuna who had gotten up to make Sakura's and Hotaru's hot chocolates.
"I wonder why she awakens at twenty-two. Could something possibly happen to cause this transformation?" Michiru implored to herself.
"Actually, I don't know the details on why. I was never told, not even by Chibiusa or the Queen herself."
"Even if she does awaken at Twenty-Two due to an enemy, we'll be ready to fight it and protect her!" Haruka boldly stated.
"I hope so" Setsuna mumbled darkly.
Setsuna finished applying cream on top of the hot chocolates, Michiru was putting her flowers in a vase and Haruka turned on the tv in the kitchen.
Fixed to a wall opposite the Outer Senshi, the tv displayed a news story on strange lights around the Bermuda Triangle.
"Witnesses state that a massive array of lights were sighted within the foggy confines of Bermuda just today. Some wilder conspiracies state it was in fact aliens that were within the triangle whilst other more logical sources state it was just some sort of reflection of light which reflected off the newly discovered crystal deposits within Bermuda known as Lumina." A smart dressed news woman then directed herself to a diagram of the newly discovered crystal.
"The new crystal Lumina is very reflective, it can reflect a large percent of light which could explain what those mysterious lights are. This crystal has been dubbed, the most reflective gem on the earth. Scientists have experimented with the crystal and found it can split ray of white light and split up its colours, quite like a prism does." the diagram of the crystal showed how it reflects the light and splits it up. Then the diagram was replaced with pictures of lights from red to purple far away on a stretch of sea in Bermuda which looked quite remarkable against the sun rise beyond. "This could explain these lights, but more illogical sources state that it was in fact something beyond this world which caused the lights. In the same area of Bermuda lately, many vessels and planes have gone missing and have returned with no crew on board which only adds to the deadly mystery of Bermuda. Law enforcement and coast guards are pending an investigation on these disappearances, but so far, no bodies or sign of the missing have been found." The news woman wore a somber look before changing the topic to the weather.
"Haruka papa, Michiru Mama!" Hotaru burst in the kitchen excited and hugged Haruka from behind. "When did you two get back?"
"Woah kiddo, we only just got back." Haruka grinned.
"Hotaru, I have yours and Sakura's hot chocolate, now drink it before it gets cold and head to bed, it's quite late." Setsuna said sternly but sweetly.
"Okay Setsuna mama! Goodnight Haruka papa, Michiru mama!" Hotaru quickly hugged Michiru and Setsuna before running back to her room, two hot chocolates in hand.
The outer Senshi smirked to each other.
"Look how much she's grown." Michiru smiled to herself.
"She still has much growing to do." Haruka stood behind Michiru and embraced her.
Setsuna smirked and turned her attention to her 'Science weekly' magazine and opened the first page.
A woman called April O'Neil had created a spectacular holographic projection which has landed her quite a bit of fame.
Setsuna engrossed herself into the magazine.
Everything was perfect, life was perfect for the Outer Senshi...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Tsukino residence was quiet that night... well except for Luna's snores and Usagi Tsukino who was re reading for the thousandth time Mamoru's letter that had arrived that afternoon.
It was truly romantic as usual, depicting what Mamoru was studying and how his days were going.
Again and again he would proclaim his love for her. Usagi savoured this most of all.
It was proof of their love!
However, despite all the love and attention in the letter from Mamo, why did she feel empty and alone?
She was scared, she didn't want him far away... she wanted to see him now.
Phone calls were so expensive and quite a trouble for her parents who scolded her for tolling the phone bill to six thousand yen.
After that, Usagi and Mamoru limited calling each other to once a week, making Usagi feel more and more alone.
She cried silently as she read the letter which had spodged writing due to her tears.
"Oh Mamo, even after all these years, I'm still just a weak person" she mumbled through silent tears.
I just want to see you Mamo...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Four months later...
Months past, and Usagi as well as the other Inner Senshi entered their final year of high-school. It was now Friday July 1st 2005, Usagi just turned Eighteen the day before and had a wonderful surprise party, organised by Minako and Luna who had gotten Usagi's family, all the inner and outer Senshi, and some old friends like Naru and Umino who were now officially dating, as well as Usagi's old teacher Haruna who had gotten married with a lovely man. Motoki along with Reika and a over excited Unazuki has come over as well for her birthday.
If Usagi had one regret the night before, it was the fact that after everyone had left, the Inner Senshi stayed behind for a party.
It went all as planned until Minako brought out "surprise wine". Everyone had some but there was a problem... they all had low alcohol tolerance.
By two glasses, all the girls were drunk. Ami was on the floor laughing at a picture of Albert Einstein in her physics book, Rei and Minako were dancing with each other and Makoto was too busy drunk calling Kenji.
Usagi on the other hand was eating food and telling her friends how much she loved them. After that, it was all a blur.
Usagi awoke at half eleven in the morning next to a drowsy Makoto in her bed.
"W-what happened again... i can't really remember?" Makoto groaned. "I have a pounding headache."
"Uh" groaned Minako who was laying on top of a confused Rei on the floor mattress.
After waking up a little more, Rei went bright red. "Minako..." Rei growled in a deadly tone.
Mina realised that she was on top of Rei and immediately shot up. "Ah Sorry Rei" She said apologetically.
Rei huffed "What was I doing last night?"
"You were dancing with Minako and then you both started to prank call people on the phone." Makoto remembered Rei and Minako in fits of giggles whilst pretending to be old women calling the wrong number.
"Uhhh god dammit!" Mina groaned loudly. Something started to move in the corner of the room which startled all the girls.
"Is it a rat?" minako whispered fearfully hiding behind a confused Rei.
Makoto slowly approached the heap of pillows which were moving up and down slowly. She yanked the pillows off.
Underneath was a very tired and ill looking Ami who had Luna and Artemis on her shoulders, looking quite tired.
Usagi sighed with relief. "Oh, it's only Ami. Thank god!"
Ami slowly raised her body, her face a nasty shade of green. "I think... I'm going to be sick..."
She then jumped up making Luna and Artemis fly across the room. She clutched her mouth for dear life and scrambled out of the room.
All the girls and cats listened to make sure she reached the toilet in time.
A unpleasant splashing and gagging sound was heard seconds later which made the girls sweat drop.
"I'm going to make sure she's alright" Makoto said good heartedly and left the room.
Luna sighed "You girls should take your time when drinking, your not used to it."
"Yeah we know Luna" Minako waved her hand to signal not being interested in a lecture.
"Wait, Mina, what happened after we finished the phone calls?" Rei questioned.
Mina hummed. "I think I gave it to Makoto, her and Kenji were on the phone for hours."
"And then who used the phone, I think I remember someone crying on the phone." Rei said alarmed.
Mina's eyes widened. They both snapped their heads to Usagi who was occupied with eating cake.
"What?" Usagi asked through a mouthful of cake. "Is there something on my face?"
"Usagi, did you use the phone last night?" Rei asked her in a serious tone. She knew what Usagi was like sober; unpredictable. A drunk Usagi on the other hand; Dangerous!
"I don't think so..." Usagi said unsure.
Artemis gasped "Yes you did, who did you call?!"
Usagi then looked alarmed. "Oh Nooooooo, who did I call last night. I don't remember!" she whined annoyingly.
Mina and Artemis patted her on the shoulder whilst Rei and Luna checked the call log.
Rei gasped dramatically. "What? Is it bad?" Usagi asked desperately.
Rei's and Luna's eyes widened. "It's best you don't look... who's up for twister! Or maybe let's go shopping now! You know what, let's forget about the phone! It doesn't really matter! Hey, why don't we go to Haruka and Michiru's later, maybe we can hang out at the arcade! I know, let's...!" Rei said this very quickly as if you try to change the subject.
"Y-y-Yeah, let's do that! Hey why don't we go to the moon tonight!" Luna joined in on the frantic change of subject.
"Great idea Luna!"
Usagi then stood up seriously and tried to grab the phone out of Rei's vice grip.
"No, U-Usagi DON'T!" Rei tried to squirm and get Usagi off of her.
"Rei!" Usagi said in a deadly tone "As your Queen, I demand to see the call log!"
"No dont... MINA GRAB HER!" Rei struggled against Usagi. She was freakishly strong.
Mina jumped off the bed and tried to pull Usagi away from Rei which failed devastatingly. Mina tripped over Luna who was trying to get away from the struggle and fell into Rei and Usagi which made the struggle more confusing.
"Mina, that's my foot!" Usagi groaned.
"I'm sorry!" Mina whined.
"Oh god, if anyone walked in right now...!" Rei started.
At these words, Makoto and Ami walked through the door. Ami felt a lot better now and looked healthy again.
Both stood transfixed at the confusing mass of Mina, Rei and Usagi struggling on the floor. Sweat dropping, Makoto grabbed the phone out of Rei's hand which stood no chance to Makoto's strength.
She didn't want the phone to break... Her eyes widened.
OH MY GOD USAGI WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! Makoto almost fainted.
She showed the phones display to Ami who too widened her eyes.
"Oh dear, I can't believe she did that. This is why we shouldn't drink." Ami whispered to Makoto. "I feel so bad for her."
Makoto was off guard which gave Usagi a chance to grab the phone off her. Somehow, she got out of the confused fighting on the floor and yanked the phone out of makoto's grip.
All the girls gasped. The cats covered their ears and eyes.
Usagi read the display and her body went numb in regret.
It read:
Dialled numbers:
Today:
Haruka and Michiru home: 2
Mamoru: 5
Setsuna Meioh: 1
Hotaru Tomoe: 1
Mother: 1
Shingo: 1
"Oh god, I drunk called mama and Mamo!" She whined loudly. She then burst into tears.
"There, there Usagi... hold on look!" Mina snatched the phone and showed the time log. "Look, Ikuko didn't pick up, nor did Shingo or the others. No one picked up so you didn't drunk call anyone" Mina finished enthusiastically in relief.
Usagi stopped crying. "R-really!" After seeing this, Usagi jumped with joy. "YES, GOD IS ON MY SIDE!"
Makoto and Ami looked relieved whilst Rei still looked unsure. "No, that can't be... I'm sure I heard you talking into the phone..." Rei said slowly but sure of herself.
Then Ami gasped. "Usagi, check the voice mail logs!"
Usagi got up the voice mail log and almost screamed.
It read:
Voice mail log:
Mamoru: 1
Haruka and Michiru home: 1
"Press play, let's hear what it says!" Mina said a little enthusiastically. Everyone looked at her in disbelief.
Nervously, Usagi pressed play.
A cool woman's voice came through the phone:
"You sent one voice message to China, Mamoru. Message play."
*Beep*
"H-hey M-m-Mamoru honey! How are you dear!" Usagi's face displayed horror and embarrassment. "I know that you've only been gone for a few months... but... I miss you so much!" The tone of Usagi's voice now changed to desperation and sadness. "I miss you so much Mamo chan. I love you so much, you don't deserve me! I thought I could handle you leaving but... I can't! I can't! I want to see you now! Please, come back I miss you! I love you Mamo!" All the girls looked at Usagi with a somber look. They had no idea she felt this bad.
"Well anyway" a teary sounding Usagi said on the phone "I need to go right now, Mina and Rei are trying to read my secret yaoi that no one knows about... whooops! Anyway, I love you! I'm so lonely Mamo! Man I'm going to regret this tomorrow! Right bye, love y...!" Her voice was cut off by the answering machine which made a loud *Beep*.
Usagi then went teary eyed. She tried to keep this to herself for so long. Now that it was out, she might as well stop pretending.
All the girls approached her. "Oh Usagi, I never knew you were in so much pain." Rei embraced Usagi.
"I'm so sorry Usagi, I thought that you were fine, god I'm selfish". Ami then hugged Usagi.
"Usagi, if you ever feel like this, please just tell us." Makoto dawned over the other girls and grasped Usagi.
Minako started to cry. "Oh Usagi, I'm so... so sorry!" She then joined the group hug.
The two cats also joined.
The love they shared for one another was so deep, nothing could defeat their love.
But there was a question they needed answers for.
What do they do now?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Across Tokyo, the sunlight shined through the Outer Senshi's apartment which displayed a wonderful view of the red and white Tokyo tower. The gold streaks highlighted the walls and furniture, bathing everything in light.
Haruka sat at the table with Michiru. They both had the day off so they decided to spend time doing house chores and decorating.
Right now, they were taking a break. They had just redecorated Hotaru's room and re painted the hallway.
That's when Michiru noticed the red light blinking on the answering machine. "Haruka, we have a message." She frowned. Who left a message. They weren't expecting any.
Haruka leaned across to the machine on a small wooden table and pressed a green button.
"You have one new message. Message one, today at 1 Am." Haruka and Michiru looked at each other confused.
"That's quite late at night." Michiru noted.
There was a loud *Beep* before a teary Usagi blared through the speaker.
"Wahhh, Haruka, Michiru! I miss Mamoru so much! Oh my god! I want him so badly! What if he leaves me and then Chibiusa won't be born! Wahhhh! I love you two so much! Get married soon please! Wahh I hate being alone! I miss him so much!" The message drastically ended, leaving Michiru and Haruka concerned.
"Did... they get drunk last night?" Michiru asked swear dropping.
"Seems like it..." Haruka answered unsure of herself.
"I hope they know they have school today." Michiru said sternly.
"Usagi sounds so down, I hate hearing her like that." Haruka looked very somber.
Michiru then got an idea.
"Haruka" She said in realisation "If Usagi wants to see Mamoru so badly, why don't we buy her some tickets to New York to go and see him for a month during their summer break. It is coming up after all!" Michiru suggested.
Haruka smiled and enthusiastically got up "That's a great idea! Why don't we let Mamoru in on the surprise and then we can organise this romantic reunion!"
"I think that's excellent Haruka!" Then she looked taken back "But who will protect her. Surely she can't go alone to America. She may be eighteen but still, she can't go alone..."
"Yeah your right..." Haruka sighed. Then she smiled widely. "Why don't we also buy tickets for Rei, Makoto, Minako and Ami? That way they can protect her if anything happens!"
Michiru also smiled. "That's a plan, we'll get the girls in on the surprise as well! What about English lessons?"
Haruka grinned sheepishly. "It's fine, we'll get Setsuna to cast translation magic. It helped me when I went to France that time."
Michiru furrowed her brows in interest. "What was it like with the translation magic?"
"Well, everything was translated obviously, like signs and books and speech. Say if you spoke to me in French, I would hear Japanese. And if I tried to speak back, I would talk in French. It's quite simple really." Haruka has a dreamy face on her face. She loved that time in France. "God, that brings back memories of racing!"
Michiru giggled. "Your so silly Haruka!" She then kissed Haruka on the lips.
Haruka went bright red and coughed. "Right, So, let's get the girls in on the idea then!"
"Yes, let's do it! I'll call Mamoru!" Michiru stated.
"I'll order the tickets and book the hotel!" Haruka said proudly.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Friday 22nd July 2005:
The plan was set in motion by the time the summer holidays started. All the girls and Mamoru set everything up.
The girls would be getting a ferry from Tokyo port which would take them to Los Angeles.
From there, they would get the speed train created by 'Chaplin Industries' which would get them from Los Angeles to New York City.
They had to take this option as Makoto didn't like planes. No one would blame her after what happened to her parents.
Then they would be dropped off at the New York City Eon Station which was made specially for speed trains.
The Senshi would then stay at a hotel in Manhattan near Mamoru's university.
The plan was set and ready to go. All their families knew what they were doing for Usagi and they found it admirable.
In homeroom at Juban High-school, Usagi sank low in her seat, thinking of Mamoru.
Oh, Mamo... I wonder if your in a class right now... waiting for time to speed up...
Her body felt numb and empty without him, she felt like a vessel of nothing...
She then felt something hit her on the back of her head.
"Ouch" she mumbled irritated.
It was stuck in her hair.
"What the...?"
She pulled it out of her hair and it turned out it was a paper aeroplane. She opened it up and it read:
Meet everyone at Haruka and Michiru's after school xxx
Mina :p
Usagi turned around to a beaming Minako.
She looks creepily happy... wonder what's up...
The Bell then rang ending the school day.
The whole class cheered as it signalled the summer break. Usagi felt a little more cheerful.
Students scrambled out of the room and Usagi found herself being dragged out by Minako who was still smiling.
"Mina... ouch... not so hard!" Usagi grumbled.
Mina continued to drag her until they were out of the school gate.
They met with the other girls and started to walk home. They were all in high spirits, laughing and joking around.
When they stopped outside Usagi's house, the girls all beamed at her.
"Usagi, wear something nice tonight, believe me, your gonna want to!" Rei winked at her and took Minako's hand. "Come on Mina, I need to talk to you about something private."
"Oh, Okay?" Mina said off guard.
The girls all left, leaving Usagi alone in front of her house. The sun was still blazing high in the sky, signalling a hot summer.
Usagi smiled to herself. Wonder what's happening tonight. Oh maybe we're having a feast. She giggled with excitement at the thought of food.
That night, Usagi tried on many different outfits but settled with a white dress and a denim jacket with hot pink heels. She left her house and walked amongst the streets of Tokyo.
The city she has defended many times... when will people find out about her being Sailor Moon as well as the future queen of Earth... it was a day she wanted so badly but at the same time dreaded to think of.
Her mother, father, Shingo... she wondered what would happen to them in the future. Will they die of old age or will they live forever?
She wanted them to live forever but they weren't sailor Senshi. It was unlikely that they would be around in the 30th century.
Waiting for the light to turn green, she grasped her silver crystal encased in her Eternal broach.
The source of power... the crystal that brought happiness as well as chaos to her life and the universe.
She crossed the street and soon was outside the fancy looking apartment complex.
She typed in the code for the door and walked through the lobby and in the elevator to the top floor.
A minute later, she was outside the apartment. She took a deep breath before ringing the door bell.
A cheery Haruka answered the door "Hey Odango, come in."
She let herself in and made her way to the living room and squealed in delight. A magnificent buffet was displayed on a table near the balcony. Usagi could feel herself drawling.
Across the room, the other girls greeted her.
All the sailor senshi where here... well not all of them.
Two were missing; Mamoru and Chibiusa. She longed to see them both again...
"Usagi, are you alright?" Hotaru asked concerned.
"Wha- Yeah I'm fine Hotaru... just thinking..." Usagi trailed off.
Hotaru nodded understandingly.
"Yeah, I miss them too" she said sombrely.
Usagi felt guilty, she wasn't the only one suffering in silence. She pulled Hotaru into a hug before taking off for the buffet.
Ami and Setsuna stood by the buffet talking about 'Science Weekly' magazine.
"I'm so amazed that April has been on the front page for so long, I guess she must be a prodigy" Ami sighed in admiration.
"She's truly amazing, have you seen how far her 3D holograms have gone" Setsuna picked up the magazine for reference.
"I know, apparently the military are using it for their own usage."
On one white sofa, Minako and Rei were holding hands outside the view of the others.
"When should we tell them?" Rei mumbled to Mina.
Mina smiled. "Soon Rei. It just happened today. I don't want to rush it."
"I love you" Rei blushed.
"I love you too" Mina replied in a low voice lovingly.
At the dining table, Usagi who had a plate full of food was devouring everything. Makoto, Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru smiled to themselves and then continued their talk.
"Anyway, do they know what's happened to all the people on the boats?" Makoto asked.
Haruka shrugged "No they don't. All they find are empty boats. I'm surprised this isn't being covered more in the news. It's been happening for four months now."
Michiru conjured her aqua mirror. "The area around Bermuda itself is foggy, I can't see anything through the mirror. It's quite worrying."
"Do you think we should investigate, law enforcement has proved ineffective thus far" Hotaru suggested good willed.
Both Luna and Artemis who had been staying at Mina's house jumped on the table beside Hotaru.
"I'm not sure, Michiru, can you see anything dodgy in the mirror" Makoto leaned forward in interest.
Michiru checked her mirror again in concentration but gave up seconds later. "I can't see anything, that's what worries me. I'm purposely being obscured from any activity."
Usagi looked up at them all in interest. "What are you guys going on about?"
"Well, for the past four months, boats and ships have been found abandoned in the area of Bermuda" Luna said seriously.
"Ber- what?" Usagi asked confused.
They all sweat dropped.
"Bermuda Usagi" Artemis said slowly for her to understand.
"It's an area to the east of America. It's notorious for its disappearances. Don't you pay attention to the news?" Makoto asked dumbfounded.
Usagi laughed "Ha no!"
They all sighed. "Well just to catch you up, for the past four months, people have been disappearing in the area more often than usual. Only their boats or ships remain. I'm struggling to view anything on the aqua mirror, it's... unusual", Michiru again tried to use the aqua mirror to see anything but she was out of luck.
"Oh dear. I hope they find them soon" Usagi said empathetically.
"They probably will, maybe it's just the weather or some pirates" said Haruka rationally.
When the clock chimed at 10:10 the Senshi felt it was time so they all gathered around Usagi.
"What, come on guys you're really creeping me out." Usagi looked at all of their faces.
They all looked proud and quite secretive at the same time.
Hotaru face was taken up by her wide smile. She hopped off her chair and opened the draw to a cabinet by the door and came back with a pink box.
"Open it Usagi!" Luna said excited.
Usagi hesitated before she lifted the lid to the box.
Inside were two separate piles of tickets... but for what?!
She then read the first ticket. It was blue and on the side it read SS Chaplin Ferry's... to Los Angeles.
"I don't understand wha-?"
"God your slow on the uptake!" Rei groaned. "Read the other tickets!"
The other pile of tickets made Usagi's heart skip a beat.
It was a silver ticket which read USA Chaplin Train and underneath this writing was the destination...
"New York..." Usagi then jumped up, adrenaline coursed through her body and she immediately got a sense of ebullience. "No way... YOU GUYS!" She then ran to Minako and Rei behind her and she embraced them like she hadn't seen them for years.
She found herself crying, not with sadness but with thankfulness.
"Oh guys thank you so much! I can't believe this...!" Usagi cut off. She was so moved by their love for her she couldn't control her tears.
"Well, we couldn't have a summer break without visiting Mamoru can we" Ami winked.
"And what better timing. Mamoru is also on summer break." Makoto added.
"But who paid for them, and who organised this." Usagi looked around frantically for someone to thank.
"Well, Michiru thought of it and we paid for everything. The hotel, ferry, train, the lot" Haruka beamed proudly.
Usagi ran around the table to hug Haruka as well as Michiru. "Oh, I can't thank you enough!"
"And us four are coming too!" Ami announced.
"Yeah, we couldn't leave you, our future queen alone on a train could we" Rei said with pride.
"Oh I wish we could go too" Hotaru said dreamily "but we couldn't leave Japan with it unguarded, so me, Haruka papa, Michiru Mama, Setsuna mama and Luna and Artemis will stay here to defend."
Usagi looked at them with admiration.
"Oh, did Mamoru know about this!"
"Obviously Usagi, he will meet us at Eon Station in New York!" Mina stated like it was obvious.
"Oh that's why he was acting cheery when I called him yesterday!" Usagi realised.
All the Senshi looked at each other earnestly.
Usagi was going to see Mamoru. The king and Queen reunited... this was going to be great!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Monday 25th July 2005:
"Guys Look, land ahead!" Minako pointed energetically to the horizon which displayed a far away Los Angeles. A whole day on the ferry later, they reached America.
They all packed and left on Sunday evening and awoke the next day to a beautiful sun rise which brought out the bright colours of the sea.
Usagi jumped up and down on the balls of her feet, now very anxious to get there. "Oh I can't wait. New York, the city of romance!"
"Isn't that Paris?" Rei muttered to the other three.
"Shush, let her have her moment." Makoto said like a parent observing their achieving child.
"Uhhh, I wish we could of stayed in LA for a while... I really want to meet some celebrities!" Mina groaned whilst picturing herself on top of the Hollywood sign with people below her clapping.
Understanding the English wasn't a problem at all, Setsuna had used her power to translate languages and speech which was a great help for the inner Senshi. One example of this being pertinent was when a British woman asked Rei where the swimming pool was. If the girls knew this sooner, they would of begged Setsuna to give them this translate power earlier, except for Ami and Minako who were already pros at English.
Ami checked her communicator. The time in Los Angeles was Pacific daylight time zone and right now it was 16:33.
"We'll be there in about ten minutes time. There's a Eon Station beside the port luckily so as we get off the ferry, we should be just in time for our train ride." Ami announced.
Rei looked at her in awe. "You've really checked your schedule well haven't you."
Ami just giggled. "Well it is important to know your plans before hand."
Around ten minutes later, they were off the ferry. One months worth of luggage fitted in a suitcase... well at least two pink fluffy suitcases as well as three handbags for Mina.
"Why do you have so much stuff again?" Rei sweat dropped.
"Well, it's best to be organised. You never know the weather in New York. Also..." Mina went to a hushed voice "Rei I have a pair of underwear I want your opinion on in our hotel room." Mina winked.
Rei blushed heavily but played it off by smiling coolly.
Somehow by the luck of God, they weren't late for their train. Mina's suitcases kept on thrashing around due to the weight of them. Makoto almost lost her patience with her. It was quite annoying.
They went past the high tech ticket barrier and scrambled on the train which was about to leave.
"Thank" *huff* "god we made it!" Ami huffed and puffed out of breath.
"Yeah, thank god." Usagi then turned to glare at Minako. "We could have been late in seeing Mamoru, Mina!" She snapped venomously.
Mina waved her hand as if to dismiss Usagi's reaction. "It's fine, don't worry. We made it in time at least."
The train started to move. "We better get to our rooms quick... how long's the train ride?" Makoto looked towards Ami who had revised all schedules and maps for the trip.
"Well, at the speed it goes and the fact there are no stops... I'd say twenty hours." She said precisely.
Usagi groaned. "Uhh no fair. I thought Los Angeles was right next to New York!"
Rei and Ami looked at Usagi as if she was going to say "Only joking!" But she didn't, making them sigh.
They weaved their luggage past the many people in the trains wide corridor and made it to their rooms in first class which Haruka booked. "How rich are they?" Mina questioned in awe at the facilities in her and Rei's compartment. Usagi, Makoto and Ami had the compartment next to them.
The room was big enough to fit two/three beds as well as a bed side table and a study table.
Another table situated a Tv which at the moment displayed the date and time.
Within the rooms was a ensuite bathroom complete with a shower and toilet.
"This is amazing!" Usagi squealed jumping on the bed.
"Careful Usagi" Makoto said sternly "it will break if you don't be careful."
"I'm sorry but I'm just so happy" she giggled.
Ami sighed to herself and immediately got out that weeks edition of science weekly out of her bag. "Wow Ami, you've been quite engaged with that magazine for months now. Anything interesting" Makoto asked.
Ami looked like she had never been asked such an exciting question. "Yes actually plenty. This magazine features all discoveries of science from technology to medical care and new discoveries of species and gems. It's definitely worth your time. The new gemstone Lumina was announced through the magazine!" Ami listed enthusiastically.
Usagi looked confused. "Whats Lumina?"
"Well, Lumina is this gemstone discovered in the area of Bermuda-"
"Oh, where all those people have been disappearing for months!" Usagi gasped.
"Yes actually" Ami then paused looking deep in thought.
"What's wrong Ami?" Makoto sat beside her in interest. She only ever looked like that when she was pulling together a conspiracy.
"Well, it's just that... Lumina was discovered around the time those people started to disappear..".
Usagi frowned. "Yeah, so what?"
"Well... don't you think it's a coincidence that this new energy resourceful gem was announced at the same time people in the area of Bermuda were disappearing?" Ami said to herself unsure.
Makoto looked up. "Now that you mention it... it's quite strange isn't it..."
Usagi then asked the question she was too scared to ask. "When someone disappears in the area... how do they know?"
Ami looked at Usagi like she was about to tell her a camp fire ghost story. "It's because their boats are found abandoned floating at sea which worries people. Most of these boats were large vessels as the sea in Bermuda is very hard to navigate and escape from when there's a storm, so it's just safer to have a big ship. Apparently..." Ami leaned forward on her bed to Usagi who was sitting on the bunk bed opposite with suspense "when they disappeared, strange lights were reported in the area."
"Like alien lights?" Makoto asked skeptically.
"Why so skeptical Mako? The starlights and the death busters were aliens." Usagi pointed out.
"I know, it's just we would know if aliens did breach the solar system... I mean how do you explain Haruka and Michiru abandoning their posts from their plants and fighting the death busters here on Earth. I think, if aliens did invade earth, we would know by now. This makes the possibility of aliens in Bermuda very unlikely if we had no knowledge of it." Makoto rationally reasoned.
Ami bit her lip. "I'm not really sure. It might depend on the craft these aliens are using. If it's stealthy enough then it could probably not show up on the castles radar. Or maybe like a long range teleport, that most likely wouldn't be an interest to the castles security settings as these anomalies happen a lot throughout the galaxy."
Makoto now felt a little worried. "Do you think we should start to investigate Bermuda Usagi? I mean, it's outside of Japan, but you are the future queen of this world... and too many people have disappeared in that area for too long now. It's quite troublesome."
Usagi now had a serious face on. Then she pulled a determined face. "Maybe soon, Yes. If the disappearances become too frequent and the missing don't turn up... I think us girls might have to investigate!"
Ami and Makoto looked at their queen in admiration. She was so determined and caring... it was the most admirable thing.
They both smiled in agreement with Usagi before Makoto raised herself off the bed.
"Come on guys, let's get our luggage sorted quickly, then we can go to the restaurant on the train. Usagi, the menus for the restaurant are on the study table there."
Usagi bolted to the table. "Thanks for the shout Mako!" She grabbed the menus and quickly became endorsed in the menus whilst Ami and Makoto helped each other set down each others luggage.
It was going to be a good twenty hours.

Days prior...
Friday 22nd July 2005
6pm
Hino residence:
"What did you want to talk to be about Rei?" A nervous Minako asked.
Rei was acting strange, the normally cool and sassy soldier of fire was giving Minako a serious stare, it was unnerving.
Rei stood up from next to Minako on her bed, her back away from her.
"It's just..." she couldn't get the words out.
What if Mina does hate her?
Her heart beat like a violent drum solo, it made her body shake slightly.
"...Mina, do you hate me?" Rei asked, her eyes getting watery.
"What!? Oh course not Rei, why would you think that!" Minako asked confused but guiltily. Had she done something to upset her.
"It's just... lately you've been avoiding me and I want to know why, have I done something wrong" Rei replies, too nervous to look at her.
"Rei! Oh course not, you've done absolutely nothing wrong... it's just..." Minako stopped, getting anxious.
"It's what?" Rei said forcing herself to stay calm.
"Rei..." Mina stood up, if she wasn't going to say it now, she probably wouldn't say it anytime soon. Now was an oppitunity.
"If I have been avoiding you lately or been acting cold, I'm sorry. There is a reason why..." Mina trailed off. It felt like her body was a tank slowly filling with water.
"THEN WHAT'S THE REASON WHY! Rei spat. Tears streamed down her face. It was true Mina did hate her-
"The reason why, it's because, I... I LOVE YOU REI HINO!" Mina yelled passionately. The truth was now off her chest. She relaxed slightly.
Rei went dead silent and turned around.
Mina gasped upon seeing her tears.
"R-really?" Rei questioned tearfully.
"It's true Rei. I love you! I've felt like this for a long time. I haven't been avoiding you... I've just been trying to pluck up the courage to admit to you that I love you!" Mina was now getting teary. "Some soldier of love and courage I am..."
Rei wiped her tears and breathed in some air. "No, don't say that. Your an amazing person Mina... you really are. And if I have to be honest..." Rei blushed smiling with embarrassment "I love you too. It killed me to think you didn't like me... the reason I started to feel like you hated me started that time you came to the library... where Makoto was with her ex-boyfriend... I thought I saw you but I wasn't sure, so I thought it was someone else... but when you said you were there too... I felt like you didn't like me anymore... I'm sorry for thinking such a thing."
Mina wiped her tears and stood up from the bed, her heart racing. "It's fine... don't worry. The reason I was at that library in the first place was because... well... I was going to announce to you how I felt... but I got scared... I thought that you didn't feel the same way. I've had too much heartbreak in my life... a feeling I never wanted to experience again. So I went to leave... then I saw Makoto and the asshole together... and I decided to observe them to know what it was like to have a partner... someone to love. If I knew you felt the same way I would of..." she trailed off and approached Rei, shaking slightly.
They were both blushing madly, their eyes full of love and passion for each other. It was a true love, a love both of them haven't felt before. Mina stopped in front of Rei just to look in the raven haired girls eyes... so full of mystery and beauty.
"Mina, when we were on the school roof that time, and you said to Yaten and Taiki that you have no need for men... was it because you were in love with me?" Rei asked avoiding Mina's eyes.
Mina smiled sweetly and swiftly grabbed Rei's soft hands. Rei looked into her eyes, her face red as a beetroot. "Yes!" Minako confirmed which made Rei gasp and then smile. "I've felt like this for a long time. With galaxia killing Makoto and Ami, I felt like it couldn't wait... I was sure of my feelings right there and then. Rei..." they both looked into each others eyes transfixed by each others beauty. "I love you... I see us getting married in the future... every time I see you, I get butterfly's in my stomach. I'm sure of my feelings. Rei... will you accept my love?"
Rei didn't give a second thought. She knew how she felt. The girls clasped each others hands lovingly. "Of course I do." Rei answered sure of herself.
They both smiled at each other, eyes glistening with tears of happiness.
Then for the first time... they kissed...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Rei savoured this memory over and over again that night on the train. It was now 23:03.
They had dinner around 18:00 and talked for ages in Makoto, Usagi and Ami's room about all the amazing things they had planned for New York. Usagi called Mamoru on the phone in their room to announce that they were on their way.
They talked for ages before the phones mysteriously cut out which made Usagi whine for about an hour. Even after an hour, the phone still wouldn't work which was strange.
Nevertheless the Senshi played monopoly for ages before Ami got too competitive and flipped the game over, which made them all vow never to play again.
Then Rei and Mina retired to their rooms. They decided to sleep in the same bed that night, which was the first time as on the ferry, all the inner senshi shared the same room, which made it too risky for Rei and Mina to share the same bed without the others questioning them.
Minako slept beside Rei peacefully. She was so cute when she slept.
Rei smiled to herself... everything was great, everything was going so well.
She looked out the window. The train was in an underground tunnel, on its way to New York.
Rei didn't know why but she felt unnerved, she felt like something was going to happen.
She really wanted to fire read or use her tarot cards but she left the cards at her residence and she couldn't exactly start a fire in the middle of her room on a train.
Please God, can we just live our lives in peace for a while...
The next day, Usagi wouldn't stop bouncing up and down with impatience, She was so excited to see Mamoru. She kept this up all day and kept on doing it until now, when they were an hour away from New York City.
Due to New York being in a different time zone, three hours had been added onto the senshi's communicators and right now it was 4pm.
Usagi then called Mamoru on the communicator due to the phones still not working.
"Mamo, we're an hour away! I can't wait to see you my love!" Usagi announced bouncing on the tips of her toes in the trains corridor.
"I'm glad to hear that Usako, I've been dying to see you too." He smiled warmly and lovingly through the communicators small screen. "I'll be at the Eon station in Manhattan when you arrive, I'll wait for you."
Usagi smiled wider and blushed. "I can't wait! Are you coming to the hotel with us? I just want to sleep next to you tonight... I've missed you!"
Mamoru smiled sweetly. "Of course I will Usako."
They looked each other in the eyes behind the communicators screen. The love and passion was still there, ready to be released when they meet.
This was interrupted by an alarmed Rei. "Usagi, we need to talk to you quickly, sorry Mamoru." Rei apologised guiltily.
"It's fine don't worry Rei. Usako, I'll meet you soon. Please wait for me." Mamoru smiled.
"Of course Mamo! I'll see you soon!" Usagi winked at the screen.
"I love you!" They both said at the same time before they hung up on their communicators. Usagi turned around and went back into Mina and Rei's room to find the inner senshi all frowning at Ami who looked as if she was telling them some interesting but worrying news.
"Usagi" Ami said urgently "I think you need to hear this!"
Usagi sat down beside Makoto and looked at Ami confused. Some anxiety building inside her. "What is it Ami? You looked troubled."
Ami breathed in and then presented Usagi with a laptop which displayed many tabs of newspapers in New York, all with different years attached to them.
"Usagi, these news articles are quite strange. They detail many things which I find very unusual." said Ami.
"Unusual how?" She asked.
"Well, a lot of these detail many strange and mysterious things happening in New York. All different but involve one main aspect." Ami looked troubled.
"And what's that main aspect?" Usagi asked curiously.
"Well, they all detail four..." Ami looked quite unsure of herself before she finished her sentence "green beasts."
There was silence, only the noise of the train moving was heard.
"S-seriously?" Usagi said feeling a bit afraid.
"Yes, it's all quite strange and mysterious" Mina said.
"Not just the "four beasts", but also the fact these articles list very paranormal and unquestioned circumstances. For example a few years ago, it details a sudden beam of light shooting out from a building called TCRI, an invasion from these... things called Tricerations which happened world wide but was played off as a prank which I don't remember happening... although I do remember a day when the JSDF asked us all to stay inside saying it was an emergency... anyway, One of these articles details a man called Oroku Saki who apparently disappeared in a rocket. I've never heard of these crazy stories before, but most of these sound like they were intentionally covered up. Only someone digging deep on the internet could find this stuff" Ami breathed in some air. She said all of this quite fast.
"Wait, How did you get ahold of this information if it was all covered up and hard to find?" Usagi asked.
"She got it through an email with no notice or returning address. I don't think it was a coincidence that at the same time we're heading to New York, someone randomly sends Ami an email, depicting of all these mysterious events. It seems... so creepy." Makoto shook anxiously when she said this.
The girls all went deep in thought before Mina spoke.
"We shouldn't let this bother us! I mean, yeah, a crazy amount of, well, crazy went down in New York, but nothing has happened for what... a year... I don't think we should fear anything! If there is anything dangerous happening, we as senshi of the solar system can deal with it, especially you Usagi! We shouldn't let this bother us, maybe that email was sent intentionally, maybe it was a mistake, but ladies, we have nothing to fear! If there is something, we can deal with it!" Minako stated proudly and determined.
The others regarded this before they all formed determined faces. "You're right mina, we should let this bother us!" Usagi grasped her broach as she said this.
They all stood up and did a group hand pile. With their other hands, the inner senshi put their hands to their chests, motioning to their sailor crystals.
"If there is something, then we'll deal with it! Rei stated.
"That's right!" Ami said determined.
"You bet!" Makoto agreed.
5pm approached too slowly for Usagi, who was on the tips of her toes as the train left the underground tunnel.
They were just about to enter New York City. The girls all packed their things and set their luggage at the exits of the train to get a better look of the city.
"Any second now..." Ami counted on her communicator "Okay, now!"
As she said this, New York City became visible.
"Wow!" All the senshi gasped at the same time.
It was truly stunning to them all. From the train track elevated above the water, they could see the Manhattan borough of New York, the sun was still up in the sky and shined down beautifully on the buildings, causing them to sparkle like diamonds.
"Oh look, Brooklyn Bridge!" Minako announced.
"Ooooo, I can't wait to explore with my dearest Mamo!" Usagi jumped up and down in excitement.
The other girls just laughed at her. She was acting like a child, but no one could blame her.
A while later, they were now speeding past buildings of many types and were approaching the Eon Station in Manhattan.
A cool female voice came through the speaker of the train which announced "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have now arrived at Manhattan Eon Station. Please use the exits cautiously, and if you forget anything, please don't hesitate to call costumer services. Thank you for riding Chaplin Trains USA. We hope you have a great day!"
"This is it!" Ami said excitedly.
The train then started to slow tremendously and was now in the threshold of a brightly lit station which looked very stylish, quite like a palace.
The train squeaked to a stop and as soon as the doors opened, Usagi dashed out, looking for Mamoru.
"Usagi!" Ami yelled.
"For goodness sakes" Rei said slapping her forehead.
Usagi dashed past many people, some tourists whilst others locals, all looking at her curiously. She didn't care what people thought, she just needed to find Mamo.
"Where are you, where are you...?" She mumbled to herself looking around desperately.
Then she spotted him and her heart raced.
Standing by some marble stairs, which raised up to the exit was Mamoru, her dearest Mamo.
He was still so handsome and cool looking. He was looking around, obviously for her.. and then he spotted her.
They stood there still for a moment, as if it was some sort of illusion... but it wasn't.
"Usako..."
"Mamo..."
unable to bare it any longer, they ran towards each other, ignoring the many stares they received.
When they were close enough, they slowed their pace and then embraced each other lovingly.
"Oh Mamo..." Usagi mumbled sniffing him.
His wonderful scent... the scent she almost forgot.
Usagi then burst into silent happy tears.
"Welcome to New York, Usako." Mamoru mumbled.
"Oh, Mamo, I love you!"
They then kissed each other passionately.
From across the station, the other senshi observed them, all looking triumphant with themselves.
"The lovers reunited." Makoto said teary eyed.
Ami nodded in agreement, who was also a bit teary eyed.
Rei and Minako smiled at each other and then smiled back at the kissing Usagi and Mamoru.
Everything was perfect at that moment...
As soon as the sailor senshi entered New York City, Eria sensed it. Their damn sparkling star seeds, the silver crystal... but also... the golden crystal? Such horrid lights.
Eria opened her eyes and out of her trance, she hated the sailor senshi's energy, it was so sickly.
"Eria sama..." one of her followers hesitated concerned.
Eria just remained neutral. She couldn't look shocked it surprised at this, her followers needed to know she could be strong in a situation like this.
"It seems that the sailor senshi are in the city of New York as well as the user of the golden crystal." She announced. At once all her followers gasped and mumbled amongst themselves.
Lumi, who stood in the gap her fellow colleagues made, looked at Eria in horror. "Pardon my rudeness, my liege, but are you sure?"
"The konton crystals around New York sensed their energy. That's how I know... now Lumi, have you prepared for the mission?" Eria aksed Lumi.
Lumi smiled maliciously. "Yes Eria Sama. I have devised a plan to acquire as much energy as we could possibly need. If it goes to plan, we could probably go as far to require human souls."
Eria smirked. "Excellent, my dear Lumi. How do you intend to lure out the sailor senshi?"
"Well my Liege, the sailor senshi are Japanese aren't they? If that's true, then it should be easy to narrow down any Japanese visitors to New York. That way, I can lure them out and annihilate them! I can weave them into my plan and so it's like killing two birds with one stone." Lumi answered, absorbing all the amazed mumbles of her colleagues.
"If you're ready to proceed, then go, go my dear Lumi! Make me proud! Remember, if you come across Sailor Moon herself, kill her and then steal the legendary silver crystal, and if you can, steal the other sailor senshi's star seeds!" Eria demanded.
"At once my liege!" Lumi bowed and in a flash of white light, she transformed into a woman with blonde hair and a red dress which showed of her curves. She also wore red Prada heels to match the dress. Lumi then teleported away in a flash of light blue light, ready to instigate her plan.

I hope you enjoyed this first ever chapter I've written!
I've decided to set this in 2005 as the Tmnt series was early 2000s and wouldn't really make sense if it's set in the 90s.
Honestly I have had this idea for a crossover for ages but I've never really had the time to think it through. I'm sorry if it's bad, I'm new to this.
Sorry that the turtles themselves weren't in the first chapter but I thought it was necessary to build on what happened after stars which in my opinion was the best arc of the manga.
This fanfic follows the 2003 Tmnt and follows the manga of sailor moon.
Although I will include some moments in the 90s anime as extra stories they experienced in their spare time like the ghost episode from season 1 which was a bit strange in my opinion but hey, that's the 90s.
Yes, I have created a Minako X Rei coupling so expect these types of couples in this fanfic.
There won't be any turtle incest so sorry for kink shaming you incest lovers.
I know, the Jigoku Empire is sooo creative (note the sarcasm) but I honestly couldn't think of another name. It just hit me.
Thank you for reading and stay tuned for chapter 2: Lumi's attack; Meet the Turtles!
The moonlight is the messenger of love!
