Author Notes: I had another editor go over my story and get out some of the errors people mentioned in the reviews, that the last editor missed. For anyone just reading this story, this is the first of my fanfictions. I love reviews so send them. Enjoy! PS I don't own Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon Fallen Angels
The Gray Day
Serena stood on the street outside her doctor's office, her face washed with concern. She stared at the paper in her hands tears building up in her eyes, a wail escaped her mouth followed by a soft moan.
"This can't be happening. Everything's wrong!" A cool morning breeze lifted her hair, the color of sun rays, and brought the smell of new summer flowers. Looking up at the crystal blue sky Serena's face turned to worry and a slight despair took hold in the woman, who's face normally only shone with joy.
Just then an ear shattering explosion came roaring down the street and looking in the direction her eyes locked on to a pillar of black smoke rising. Nearby people all around became alarmed and with the second explosion many fled in the opposite direction. Distant screams could be heard and she wailed, "Not today!" Stomping her feet in anger at the attack, she dropped her head to look at the ground. "Maybe the others could take care of it just this time" muttered the Sailor Leader.
As if to answer her question Super Sailor Mars flew around the corner clearly heading to the battle, but spotting her she slid to a stop in front of the blond. Both quickly moved back into an alley to avoid being noticed together, Serena stood with her head still cast down…
"Serena what are you doing!" she demanded looking at the woman with hard brown eyes. Her once hip long raven hair had been cut to her shoulder framing her face.
"I don't want to battle today" she whimpered sticking the paper in her pocket so Raye wouldn't notice.
"Like that matters?"
"Its' just..." More explosions echoed down the street causing both to look in that direction before Raye turned back to her leader.
"What?" Raye's eyes grew softer, but Serena didn't say anything and time began to pass as the two stood there in silence. Raye's eyes grew hard at Serena's lacking of sharing. "If you're not going to tell me, then knock off the sulking. I am sick of it! You've been like this for a week. You're not a little girl anymore Serena, so stop acting like it! Transform now!"
"Don't yell at me!"
"Then stop being a meatball head. I don't have time to mess around!"
"Don't call me that!"
"Just transform. I don't have all day!"
"I don't…"
"Serena!" Raye growled giving her a hash look that ended the fight.
"Fine, Sailor Moon Crystal Power Make Up!" In a bright flash of pink light Eternal Sailor Moon stood before Sailor Mars, her face showed slight anger before growing in to a large frown.
"You know I don't ask to stay out of a fight often." Sailor Mars gave a harder glare.
"What if we end up needing your powers, would you like me to text message you!" Angrily the Sailor dragged her reluctant leader down the street. Rounding the corner of a large brick building the two caught sight of Super Sailor Jupiter, a tall Amazon woman who was battling a red skinned and green armored monster. The two watched for a second as Jupiter fell back avoiding the fast and powerful punch of the clawed creature.
"Jupiter!" Sailor Moon cried running toward her teammate.
"Stop backing up, you're nearly..." Mars yelled as Super Sailor Jupiter tripped over the curve in the road sending her staggering to the ground.
"Mars Sniper Arrow!" The fire arrow just barely flew past Sailor Moon's head and landed right in front of Sailor Jupiter, forcing the monster to leap backwards. Rushing over the two Sailors took a defensive posture in front of the fallen Sailor Jupiter who rose to her feet.
"What gives?" Mars asked over her shoulder.
"What?" Sailor Jupiter brown eyes meet Mars holding confusion and surprise…
"Why are you always backing up? Lately you always end up on the defensive? Where is the Jupiter we grew up with?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Mars stared for a moment puzzled at her friend's odd behavior.
"How cute! So three of the Sailors Runts remain at the roust" the Monster laughed in a usual evil manner
"Watch it! She has a nasty energy whip!" Looking back the other two Sailors could see a black burn along Sailor Jupiter's left arm.
"You OK?" Serena asked the other Sailor who merely nod.
"Scatter!" Sailor Mars yelled whose eyes had remained locked on the monster, who snapped her whip right for them. The blue energy slammed into the ground where they had been standing, leaving a huge crack in the ground.
"Ahhh!" Sailor Moon yelled, looking at where she had been.
"Come on Sailor Moon lets toast this freak." Sailor Mars had taken a defensive position in front of her leader as Jupiter attacked.
"Jupiter Thunder Clap!" Jupiter sent the electrical ball flying towards the creature who used an arm that looked like a shield to block the attack.
"Damn it!" Jupiter yelled at seeing no affect. Sailor Mars rushed the creature, but was forced to twist side ways as the monster sent razor sharp daggers hurtling at her from her fingers. Mars winced, holding her side with one of her hands, blood oozing from her wound.
"Sailor Mars" Serena cried rushing toward her friend.
"This is going to be fun" she snickered while sending the whip flying at Mars who barely managed to avoid it by dropping behind a car. The blade sliced clean through the top of the car sending metal everywhere.
"Moon" Sailor Moon began but had to stop to avoid the whip, which landed near her cutting deep into the pavement.
"Dance Moon brat! Dance!" the creature laughed while snapping the whip at Sailor Moon's feet again, who only managed to fall flat on her face. The girl let out an ear shattering scream.
"It's time for Sailor Moon's final performance!" it laughed while sending the whip flying at Sailor Moon, who seemed unable to get up in time. Just then a flash of red hit the whip, pinning it the ground. A red rose.
"Tuxedo!" Sailor Moon yelled in joy as she rose to her feet. The man landed on the ground not saying a word; instead he charged the monster with his cane causing it to scream in shock. Letting go of the whip the creature fell into a defensive posture as it attempted to avoid Tuxedo's attack. Tuxedo jumped back allowing the monster to open itself up for a full attack from Sailor Mars. She sent a powerful blast of fire at the monster, who could not avoid the inferno, and in a moment vanished.
"Nice one" Sailor Jupiter rushed to check on her teammates.
"You saved me!" Serena rushed over to Tuxedo Mask hugging him as she so often did after a battle, but it was not returned, instead Tuxedo Mask pushed her off with a shrug causing the woman's face to turn to anguish. "Are you still mad?" the remark was almost a whisper.
"I have to get back to work" he stated, rushing off without another look.
"Oh, Darien don't be mad at me!" She cried barely holding back tears.
"What was that about?" Jupiter stated walking over to her friend placing a sympathetic hand on her shoulder.
"We had a fight last night. Where's Raye?" The two glanced around and saw that she was gone.
"She has sure been in a hurry lately" Sailor Jupiter commented while the two fell back into an alley to avoid the people who were starting to gather around.
"I know" Serena stated with a dazed look, clearly not listening to the topic.
"That's the fourth one in the last two weeks. When they say fighting like a married couple Serena they don't mean it literally."
"I know, its' just..."
"Sorry, I need to get back to my shop. I'll give you a call once I close tonight, then we can hang out, maybe even Raye could join us?"
"That would be great." Serena waved watching sadly as Lita rushed off. "I wish things were like they were in school."
