this. Anything that seems familiar to another fanfic is purely a
coincidence. I am absolutely poor and get free lunch in school so don't
sue me. Someone else tried this morning already.
Now, I want u to move your mouse away from that x on the corner of

The Quest: Fighting Love
Chapter 1
The cool, autumn afternoon sun shone brightly in the sky. A
gentle breeze rustled the leaves on nearby trees. All was peaceful
until…..
A gorgeous, sleek, silver convertible came to a loud, screeching halt in
front of a house, a house that is a duplicate of every other house on the
block, but there was something different about it. Some houses just
radiate family love. This was one of them. Just looking at the plain,
red-brown brick house, you can almost see a family of four sitting down
for dinner, a mom waiting for her children to come home from school, and a
dad tossing a football around with his kids. For some, this house is a
distressing sight.
The driver, a certain blond "Meatball Head" honked the horn
loudly. No response as usual. She took out her laptop and began
finishing her report on her latest case. It wasn't so bad this time
though. She only blew up an abandoned store unlike last time when she
destroyed a mall to find the youma. The Boss was still mad as hell. He'
s big on reports so until she takes his place, she'll have to put up with
him.
An hour later…….
She checked her watch. It read 2:38 P.M. 10….9…she began counting
down…8…..7…..6…..5…..4…..3……….…2……..….
"WAIT, Serena!!!!!!" a cheerful Mina bounced down the steps to an
impatient Serena.
"Sorry, did you wait for long?" Mina chirpily asked.
"Not long at all, just an hour. You were faster last time," Serena
replied sarcastically.
Mina grinned sheepishly and tossed Serena an apologetic look.
With that, they hit the road. Today is Christmas, the worst day of the
year for Serena. If she closed her eyes, she can still see herself in
that nightmare.
*Flashback*
The old warehouse was dark and creepy. The entire place reeked of cheap
liquor, cigarrettes, and sex, but it became the meeting place for Ken
Tsukino and an agent of the Secret Agents of Alien Elimination (SAAE).
"Here's the girl. How much would you give me for her?" Ken asked, calmly
ignoring the hysterical crying and the incomprehensible pleading of his
daughter.
"Daddy! Please, please don't sell me, don't leave me, I'll be a good girl,
just don't …" sobbed the eight year old Serena.
"One thousand," replied the agent.
"That is my daughter, you know. She's worth more than that," Ken
bargained.
"Fifteen hundred, last offer," the agent bargained thinking to himself *
What kind of a man sells his own daughter on Christmas? Damn heartless
bastard*.
"I'll take it," Ken happily said, pocketing the money.
By now, Serena was merely a sobbing heap on the ground. Her daddy's
selling her. Just yesterday, her mother went to Heaven and left her.
Now…Why? Why? Why does no one love me anymore? Why does no one want me
anymore? Then everything went black…..
*End Flashback*
Serena can still remember the terror that she had gone through. *Never
Again!* she thought venemously. Love is a weakness. A weakness that must
be overcomed. A weakness that can be overcomed.
For years, she talked to no one, only did what she was told. Seeing her
potential, the SAAE allocated her place in a class of intense training.
Training included everything from academics to weaponary to technology.
With other young girls, some taken from orphanages and some sold like
herself, she kept her distance. Her main purpose in life was to be the
best. And she succeeded not only in training, but also in looks. She
became the best and graduated on top of the class at 18 years old. She
had been on an elevator going up the ranks ever since. Her acquaintances
named her Ice for many reasons. Not only did she refuse all date offers,
but she refused them with an unmatched cruelity. She enjoyed seeing the
men grovel a bit and just when he began to hope, she would brush him off.
Then there is that famous frigid-cold stare that she shoots at people
with her steely silver-blue eyes. It comes in handy when she's fending
off particularly unwanted male attention. They ALWAYS back down. It is
no wonder especially when she had beat up most of them in martial arts
class.
"Whatcha thinking about Sere?" asked Mina who noticed her friend's
distraction.
"Ancient history," came Serena's nonchalant reply.
Mina thought back to the time when the two first met.
*Flashback*
A youma had appeared in the amusement park. Serena's car, Luna, reported,
"Alien lifeform sighted at G7- 6H in Juuban Amusement Park."
"Ice," roared The Boss, Motoki.
"Ice, in," Serena automatically replied.
"Weaponary and information have been sent to Luna. She will take you near
the scene. Eliminate target. Avoid casualities and don't trash the park.
Call for backup if you need it. Nemesis out," Motoki droned.
"Looks like it's only you and me, Luna. Alright show me what you got,"
Serena said excitedly. The girl's a total adrenaline junkie. For some
reason, youma attacks seems like a game to her.
A projection of the area appeared instead of the windshield. *One youma
and two hostages, nothing special. Should be a piece of cake.* Serena
noted in her mind.
She arrived at the scene and jumped out of the convertible tossing a
"Shields Activate" behind her. Immediately, a blue force field appeared
around the car.
"Now, let's see. Either you surrender and die now or you fight and die
more painfully later. Take your pick," taunted Serena.
The youma sneered at her and dropped the blond girl, Mina that he was
holding and started forward.
"Guess you choose the hard way," Serena muttered.
Taking out her laser gun, she took aim. Its' fingers flew off first.
Then his arms and legs followed suit. Finally his head was blown apart
and green liquid spilled out. *No effort required at all. What a joke!*
smirked a smug Serena holding a smoking laser gun.
Mina stared in fascination at her savior. *Wow, who is she? She looks
like she does this every day! I wish I can at least defend myself.* Then
she looks past the girl who saved her. The youma is piecing itself back
together! A look of horror appeared on her face as she tried to warn the
stranger….
Walking over to the shaken blond, she watched as the look of fascination
turn to a look of horror as she looked past Serena. Feeling her instinct
pricking her neck, she spun around quickly. Not quickly enough though.
The youma had time to land a blow on her face stunning her and causing her
to drop the gun. With lightning speed, it hauled her up by the neck and
slammed her against a tree as Mina looked on in fear and desperation.
"I've got to do something," thought Mina. As her distress grew, the
symbol of Venus appeared on her forehead.
A voice whispered in her mind, " You need to save her, she is the ONE.
Take the pen and say the words. Find the words in your heart!"
Mina shakily grabbed the pen that appeared and suddenly the words appeared
in her heart. Very familiar words. "Venus Power Make-Up!"
Flashes of memory appeared and her world exploded in golden light. A
moment later, she was dressed in a golden-orange sailor suit. *It's good
to be back after a million years.* Venus thought. Sailor Venus is born
again.
In the midst of all this, Serena struggled knowing that if she can't reach
her gun soon, she will die. Just as she didn't think that she can stand
it anymore. A voice sounded, "Crescent Beam!" Suddenly, she was released.
She looked to see who had saved her and realized that it was the blond
that SHE she saved a minute ago. *Isn't it ironic?* Looking to the
youma, she saw that it had regenerated its arm. *Oh boy! We're gonna get
it now.* Then, she noticed a crystal floating near her hand. Without
knowing why, she grabbed it like a lifeline. Then suddenly, she knew the
words, "Moon Silver Eclipse Make-Up!"
Her transformation experience was the same as Venus's only instead of
golden light. Silver lights exploded in her world, leaving her standing
in a silver and black sailor suit with a black staff that had the crystal
resting in the heart shaped figure on top of it. A bunch of confusing
memories of a certain man and a kingdom on the moon overwhelmed her, but
as of now, only one thing is important. Destroying the youma.
Landing a flying kick on it. She backflipped and landed silently
and lifting her staff she chanted, "Moon Eclipse Elimination" just as
Venus yelled, "Venus Crescent Beam." This time the youma was moondusted.
The two tired warriors walked back to the car.
"Shields Deactivate," Serena commanded. The force field dissapeared.
"Name's Serena. You?" Serena asked.
"Mina, and thanks for saving me," Mina replied.
"We're even and since we're on the same boat so to speak. I guess we
should be partners," said Serena.
"I don't think that would be a problem, but right now, can someone tell me
how to get out of this thing?" complained Mina.
They laughed. It felt good to laugh again. As Mina predicted, they had
no trouble being partners… or friends. In fact, Mina became Serena's one
and only friend.
*End Flashback*
As Luna sped along, both girls were lost in their thoughts. Finally they
arrived at their destination, a mansion with a beautiful rose garden. A
gorgeous man with jet-black hair and blue eyes opened the door and bluntly
said, "You're late. A whole hour late. Didn't Motoki train you agents on
a little point called punctuality?"
Serena groaned * This is gonna be a long day. Motoki's gonna kill me.* I
already don't like this guy.
