Chapter 1: Night Time Troubles
The sun was setting behind the large buildings that surrounded the Tokyo Beta Game Arcade as the three teenage girls left, followed by two cats; one black and one white. Two of the girls had long blonde hair that reached their butts, one with it tied into two pig tails, giving the look of spaghetti and meatballs, the other with a red bow on the back of her head. The third girl had roan red (reddish brown) hair tied into a ponytail with two green beads on the elastic. The three were chatting, laughing, and just giving off the impression that they had known each other for a long time.
"So Serena," the roan red haired one said to the pigtailed blonde, "You ever gonna get even with that Darien?" Serena nodded her head. The other blonde laughed, causing Serena to address her. "What's so funny, Mina?" The blonde quit laughing, then looked at the other girl. "Well, I'm sure Lita here remembers your last attempt to get even with Darien." The roan red haired girl looked thoughtful, then also erupted with laughter. "Oh yeah, the water balloons. You screwed the trap and dropped them on yourself, Serena!" The two girls laughed while Serena and the black cat walked on ahead. "Yeah, like you never made an ass of yourself before, Lita." She said under her breath. The cat sighed, "Serena," it said, "you need to remember that you are all team mates." Serena looked down at the cat. "I know Luna, but I wish that they would leave my goof-ups in the past." Serena continued ahead with Luna trailing behind. "Yeah, you would never remind someone about their mistakes over and over again." The cat said under her breath.
Lita and Mina continued on their way to their homes, living only a block away from each other. "How do you think Serena will handle Darien this time?" Mina asked her friend. Lita stopped dead in her tracks. "Personally, I want to how we are going to deal with that." She pointed down into an alleyway across the street where a dark outline of a creature was moving towards them. "Quick, in here." Mina pulled Lita into the alleyway behind them and they each took out a small colored stick; Gold for Mina and Green for Lita.
The creature leapt across the street and rushed the two girls when blinding colors of gold and green engulfed them. When the light faded, the girls were now wearing sailor like outfits, each with a bow over the collarbone, mini skirt, and knee high high-heeled boots. Both girls wore elbow length gloves and a golden tiara across their forehead with a gemstone in the center. The demon readied its self to attack, and the girls took up a battle stance.
Sailor Jupiter charged electricity into the antenna that had extended from her tiara, preparing to blast the demon, better known as a Yoma, all the way to next week. "Come and get me, you ugly bastard." She muttered as she waited. The demon lunged, and she cried "Jupiter Thunder Crash!" A sphere of lighting shot from the antenna as the Yoma accelerated, rushing under the sphere and striking Sailor Jupiter in the gut, sending her back about six feet and landing on her ass. She looked up as the demon rushed for the kill when a white blur shot into its face. The white cat had leapt at the Yoma and was now clawing at its eyes.
"Artemis!" Sailor Venus yelled as she watched her cat fight the demon. "If you are concerned, then do something already!" Artemis yelled at her as he clung onto the demons face. Sailor Venus nodded her head, then pointed her index finger at the Yoma. "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" A golden laser-like beam shot from her fingertip and blasted the Yoma back eight feet. "You like that?" Sailor Venus shouted at the demon. It got back to its feet and rushed at her. "Guess it did." Sailor Jupiter suggested as she charged another Thunder Crash.
Both Scouts unleashed their attacks at the same time, and the Yoma accelerated past their attacks, got behind them and struck them down. The pair grunted in pain as they hit the ground, them heard the Yoma howl. They braced for the attack…and after ten seconds they knew something was wrong. They both turned over and saw that the Yoma had had its face and neck filled with knives; switch blades, throwing, pocket, Swiss army, even a ninja kunai knife was sticking in its head. The Yoma's body overbalanced, then crashed to the ground on its back, then turned to dust. "What the hell was that?" They turned to face the mouth of the alley.
A shadowy figure stood at the entrance of the alley. Judging from the build, and the voice, they guessed that it was a guy. In his left arm was a bag of groceries, and his right arm was held out towards at the Scouts. They tried to think of how to cover up this mess when he sighed. "Not like it matters." He then yanked his arm back, and each knife on the ground flew back towards him. As the knives returned to their owner, Sailor Jupiter noticed that each one had a piece of fishing wire attached to the handle. The guy caught the knives, then turned and left.
Mina, Lita and Artemis left the alley after five more minutes and continued to head home. Ahead, they saw the figure turning and entering the front doors of an orphanage, its lights out for the night. "Think he lives there?" Lita asked. "Wouldn't doubt it." Artemis said, having better night vision had seen his clothes. "His clothes are easily too tight for him, long enough, but not wide enough. Also, they were pretty ragged." Lita and Mina nodded, then continued on in silence.
