The Trials, by Boyce
Chapter 1 : A New World
On a Star real far from our planet, there was a being who lived there alone for a very very long time. He was named Gamex. He lived there for 42693 years precisely. He loved games. When you're alone, you gotta have a hobby, or else, time would pass very slowly, especially for 42693 years! He had only one power... He could make a Vortex, and collect the greatest heroes of a planet, and make them compete in his created "worlds"... And guess what? Our little "Lonely guy" got interested in our little Earth.

/ Tokyo \
The Sailor Scouts were at Raye's Temple to decide what they would do on this sunny day
Raye : Well, we'd better choose soon what to do, because if we argue like this all the after-noon, there won't be any time left to do something.
Lita : I still say we should check that cooking exhibition in downtown. The food looks great.
Mina : But we had dinner 1hr ago! I don't want to go eat again! Why don't we go to the cinema? There's this great romantic movie on (Eyes starting to turns to big red hearts)
Lita : I'm out of money. And we went to the cinema last week remember?
Raye : Yeah, and besides, it's a beautiful day, so we should go outside get some air.
Mina : (Eyes returning normal) Ohhhhhh... But what do you want to do outside?
Amy : Well, we could go relax in a park, and read great books!
Lita : (Tear Drop) In your dreams Amy. It's the middle of summer!
Mina : We could go play Volley-Ball!
Amy : Or swimming. It's a hot day, and it's been ages since you visited my swimming pool.
Raye : Swimming would be great.
Mina : Well, it's not volley-ball, but I could try the new bathing suit I bought 2 weeks ago.
Lita : It seems a good idea to me. Maybe we can go to the cooking exhibition after! What do you think Serena?
Amy : Serena?
Raye : SERENA?
Serena : (Laughing real hard) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... hahahaha... ... ... haha... ... HAHAHAHAHAHA hahahahaha... Ahhhh you guys got to read this part! It's so funny! (Looks in her manga again) Hum? Pffff HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
(Gang Tear Drops)
Mina : Oh Serena you're impossible!
Raye : (Devil look) Maybe we should tie her up, and leave her here Hehehehehehe
Serena : Huh? Why do you look at me like that Raye? I don't even know what you guys were talking about
(Gang Tear Drops x2)
Luna : Well maybe you should listen to the conversation instead of reading those mangas. What if we were talking about something very important related to the Scouts?
Serena : Well then, I would have been the first one to get involved into the conversation, because I'm the greatest leader in the world!
Raye : Yeah, right behind every person in Japan.
Serena : (Angry Look) WHAT DID YOU SAY?
(Raye looks back at her with the same angry look. Little bolts of lightning appears between them)
Mina : Hey look. They conduct electricity! Cool
Lita : (Laughing) Nice one Mina. But I'm the Lightning Queen. (Gets up to break them apart) Now Now here. Serena, we've decided to go to Amy's swimming pool. Do you want to come with us?
Serena : The Pool? YEAH!
Raye : Hope she doesn't drown...
Serena : HEY! What's your...
Amy : Come on Raye! We're here to have fun, not to fight between ourselves!
Raye : I guess you're right. Sorry Serena
Serena : That's better
Artemis: (Yawning) I'll stay here and pick a little nap. Mina moved all night, and I couldn't even close one eye.
Mina : Hehe. Sorry about that. It was such a beautiful dream though
Luna : I'll stay here with Artemis. (Yawning) Didn't have a great night either. Serena took me for Darien 3 or 4 times!
Serena : (Eyes turning to hearts) Ahhhhhh Darien! I wish he could be here today. Stupid work.
Raye : Ok then, it's settled. We'll meet again at Amy's house in 30 minutes.
Gang : Okay!
Mina : Bye Artemis, Bye Luna... ... ... ... Artemis? Luna?
Artemis: Zzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Luna : Zzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Mina : (Laughing) Oh those cats!
Amy : Hey Mina! You're coming?
Mina : Yes Cooooooooooooooooooooooming!

/ Amy's house \
(Amy was in the pool with Raye and Serena. Mina and Lita were catching some rays besides the pool)
Raye : Hew Serena! Stop Splashing me (Puts arms in front of her face)
Serena : Serves you right for earlier today! (Splashes more)
Amy : (Laughing) Guess Serena is finally having a little revenge!
Raye : I wont we outsmarted by her
(Raye took a deep breath, and dove under, swimming towards Serena's legs. She was way too busy now too splash Amy after her last remark. She didn't see the dark mass moving toward her, until...)
Serena : Huh? What th... IT GOT MY LEGS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... (Splash)
(Raye rose from the water, holding the 2 ankles of Serena in her hands)
Raye : Hahaha! What do you say now, Oh great leader?
Serena : BLUB-BLOB-BLUUUUUUUB (Translating in some bubbles coming out of her mouth)
Lita : (Laughing) I guess we won't have a day where those 2 won't fight
Mina : Well, it wouldn't be a normal day without those 2 fighting!
Amy : Mina, Lita! Why don't you come in? The water is great!
Lita : Well, it's war out there. I'll come when peace will be signed!
(Raye finally let go of Serena, who said she almost drowned, and that Raye made that on purpose. She started again splashing her, and Raye splashed her back this time)
Mina : (Laughing) Give me a little bit more time to catch some rays!
Amy : Hmm... (Evil Look) Maybe... Maybe not!
(She started splashing at the two girls on their chairs)
Lita : AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Cold! Amy stop it!
Mina : Why you little! Alright you asked for it!
(As soon as Mina put a foot down, a big black beam hit the area in which the 5 girls were, and in a fraction of second, they disappeared, without leaving a trace)

/ In another dimension \ (Yeah, I know that's very original)
(Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita and Mina fell in a room with weird writings on the walls. There was all kind of technologic stuff in the room, with a big crystal shaped object hanging from the ceiling)
Lita : Ouch!
Raye : (Getting up) Where the hell are we?
Mina : Well, I dont know. How did we get... WHAT? (She looked at her friends, and saw that they were all wearing their Scouts uniform. She then look at herself, and saw her orange outfit too) How can we be transformed?
Moon : I don't know, but this place is creepy
Mercury: Wow look at all the technology! (Gets her computer out) Even my computer can't say what it is. I bet these were made by an advanced civilisation.
Jupiter: (Tear Drop) Hmm Amy, can you try to find a place out of here, instead of admiring that stupid technology?
Mercury: I guess I could do that too. (Analysing info on her computer)
Venus : (Looking at the walls) Hmm, I wonder what those signs mean on the walls?
Mars : Who cares? I just want to get out of here, and fast!
Moon : For once, I agree with Mars.
(While they were waiting for Mercury to arrive to a conclusion, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from one of the walls)
Mars : Do you guys heard that noise?
Jupiter: Yeah... Looks like footsteps, coming from there. (Pointing at the wall)
Moon : But's that a wall. How can it be? Ohhhhhh I'm scared!
Venus : Come on Sailor Moon! We're here too. Maybe the wall is just an illusion. We should be ready to fight.
Mercury: Venus is right. Get ready, we don't know what can come out of there. (Closes her computer)
(The footsteps were louder and louder every second. Suddenly, they stopped)
Jupiter: Hey! It stopped!
(Just as she finished talking, a white hand came out of the wall)
Moon : AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH A FLYING HAND!
Mars : Can you Shut Up for a second?
(The hand got back into the wall, and then a black leg came out of the wall)
Moon : AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH A WALKING LEG!
Venus : Sailor Moon! Can't you be more quiet please?
(Then, another leg came through, and then the body passed through... and... and... )
Moon : Tuxedo Mask! Woohoo (Dances around)
TMask : Girls? You're here too? Where are we?
Jupiter: We don't know... Mercury wasn't able to find anything with her computer about this place.
Mercury: I'll get right back at it (Gets her computer again)
TMask : Okay. I was at work, and right when I picked up that big box, PAF, I found myself in this long corridor, and transformed! After looking around, I decided to follow it. It was very dark. After a while, I started hearing familiar voices, and walked faster until I came out to this wall. I thought it was a dead-end, but it seems it was just an illusion, as my hand passed right through it. And then, I found you girls.
Mars : Wow Venus. How did you know it was an illusion?
Venus : Huh? Well, A wild guess (Winks)
Moon : Woohoo Tuxedo Mask is here! (Eyes turning to Big Hearts) Oh He'll protect me!
TMask : (Tear Drop) Hehe... Hmm So how did you end up here?
Mars : Well, we were at Amy's house, in her pool because it was so hot, and then, a beam appeared of nowhere and we found ourselves here, transformed too.
TMask : Hmm That's very weird.
Moon : Yeah... I can't wait to get out of this creepy place
(As Sailor Moon finished talking, a weird voice was heard)
: Gliturmen Trovwax! Lepawqov Netcolopy! Vnem Fletruf...
Mars : What the hell was that?
--- / To give a chance to the readers, we'll translate what was heard in english \ ---
: Sailor Scouts! Tuxedo Mask! Welcome to my domain...
Mars : What the hell was that?
--- / We translated for the readers, but the Scouts still can't understand. We'll just make him talk english \ ---
: Sailor Scouts! Tuxedo Mask! Welcome to my domain...
Mars : Huh? Where does this voice comes from?
Jupiter: Show yourself you coward. I'll kick your ass
: Hahahahahaha. The Fighting spirit is still alive in you. That's perfect!
Venus : Why do you say that? And who are you?
: My name is Gamex. I lived alone here on Trixtar for more than 40000 Earth years.
Moon : 40000 years? Wow, that's pretty long
Gamex : It is for you, but for me, it is not. It took me about 638 Earth years to concentrate enough, and finally be able to get heroes of Earth down here.
Mercury: Gamex, is it? May I ask why you brought us here?
TMask : Yeah, and where is that Trixtar you are talking about?
Gamex : Questions Questions Questions... I should have known since curiosity is a common thing on Earth. As I said, I lived alone here for a very long time. And there's not much to do when you're alone. So I use the powers available to me, to provide entertainment to myself. I search planets to find the greatest heroes who live on them. I found life on Earth, and got interested in it. I found out that the Sailor Scouts were great heroes who protected the Earth and the Moon a lots of times. So I decided to bring you here on my planet, and see what you could do.
Jupiter: You want to fight us then?
Gamex : No. I'm not a fighter, I'm an entertainer. So I prepared some trials for you to complete.
Moon : You want to use us like peons? Well, it's not gonna happen. I'm Sailor Moon, Champion of Justice, And in the name of the Moon, I'll punish you.
Venus : Hmm Sailor Moon? Come here a minute...
Moon : (Tear Drop) Awwwwww What? I was in the middle of my speech!
Mars : Maybe we should accept. I mean we haven't got a good fight in ages, and we didn't have lots to do on Earth anyway.
Mercury: I agree. And I think he won't let us go until we complete his trials.
Moon : Ah you too Amy?
TMask : Well, I had work, but I agree with Mercury. He won't let us go unless we play his game.
Jupiter: I'm always up to a good fight.
Moon : And I suppose that you want to fight too Venus?
Venus : Well not really, but we don't have a choice. So let's do it!
Team : RIGHT! (Except Moon)
Moon : ...
Gamex : So you've accepted. Good. You'll be separated in 3 zones, and you just have to get to the end of the zone you're in. That's all! Good Luck
Mars : What? Separated? You didn't tell...
(And before she could finish her sentence, Mars, along with her friends, were teleported in one of the 3 zones)
