The Salior Senshi
A New Story
Chapter 1:
Begining Anew
"Iie!", a male voice yelled as he sat up in a cold sweat. "My Kami", he thought as the last of the dream faded away. "John, John dear are you alright", an elderly, kind voice asked, as his door opened. "Hai, Obasoan. Just a bad dream is all, Gomen that I woke you." The woman smiled at her grandson, " Nervious about starting a new School", she asked. "Iie, not really," he said, running a hand through his spikey hair and looked at the clock. "It's 4 am, Obasan, go back to bed. I'm going to go for my run then come back and get ready for class." She smiled and nodded, "Hai, please be careful. There have been quite a few attacks lately." As she closed his door he replied, "Hai, Obasan." John glanced at the framed photo on his desk, it was of his parents. He sighed and thought, "It's been two months already. I miss you two." He shook his head to clear and stood to get dressed.
As John left his house, he heard thunder. As he looked at the cloudless night sky and the full moon he thought, "That's odd." He shrugged and headed toward the park. After entering the park about half an hour later and he heard the thunder again. He noticed that there was a thick mist that reached to his waist. "What the hell...," he said as he saw a flash of Lightning and heard the boom of Thunder. As he looked toward were the flash came from he heard screaming and through caution to the wind and raced towrd the screams. As he cleared the tree line into a clearing and skidded to a stop. He gaped at what he saw, four girls, about his age, a blonde, a brunette, one raven haired and the fourth had blue hair. All wore a white, leather body suits, with white elbow length leather gloves, along with short skirts and and bows. blue and red, forest green and sugar pink, crimson, and lite blue respectively. They along with a man in a black tuxedo, top hat and cape, with a white mask, were fighting a monster that looked like a bipedal dog with the head and talons of a crow. As he watched the creature hit the blonde, and blue haired girls into the others, the guy caught the blonde and the other girls caught the other. As they stood the creature formed a ball of blck energy in its claw and threw it at them were it formed a cage around them. A woman wearing what appeared to be a grey pants/jacket suit trimed in a sickly green and black shin-high boots. She laughed evilly at the captured teens, "At last I've got you damned Sailor Senshi and your blasted Cape-boy, too." She forned a crystal in her left hand and demanded, "Tell me where the Silver Crystal is and I'll give you a quick painless death. Or you can refuse and die slowly and painfully and I find it anyway." The Brunette sneered and held up her middle finger, "Come in here and I'll rip you a new asshole, Zoicite!" Zoicite gave a sarcastic laugh and threw the crystal at her, "Fine you die first, bitch!" As he heard this a strange, powerful rage built up within John and he rushed toward the girls, who were a hundred yards away.
Zoicite and the creature saw him when he was fifty yards away and she laughed, "Another stupid human. Greedo get him and drain his energy dry." She turned back to taunting the Senshi as Greedo let out a load ear-piercing shriek and ran towards his new opponet luanching the dark energy at him as he went. John easily dodged the blasts and as he lept to deliver a powerful drop kick to Greedo's head as aura of Blue-white flames burst to into life around him. The kick was strong enough to cause Greedo to slam into the ground hard enough to leave an impression. The Senshi, Tuxedo Kamen and Zoicite watch as John took a defensive stance as Greedo stood a little unsteadily. They watch as the young man, totally disregarding the aura around himself, slammed his fist into Greedo's left cheeck snapping its head around, followed by spin kick to the stomach. While Greedo staggered back bent over gasping for breath, John rush forward with his hands clasped above his head and slammed his fists into Greedo's back, dropping him to the ground again. Zoicite, seeing her minion, being manhandled so easily by a human, became really pissed off. Holding her hand aimed at him palm out, yelled, "ZOI!" A wave of energy slammed into John sending him flying about fifty feet into the air to land harshly. John rubbed his head as his aura disipated, "Oh, Shit that hurt." As John looked toward his opponents he saw Greedo rise up and charge at him. Totally oblivious to the energy cage disipateing around her captives Zoicite watched the creature jump at John. As Greedo lept at him a bolt of lightening shot from behind Zoicite and turned Greedo into dust. Zoicite turned around and seeing that they were free lept into the air. As she faded out called, "Damn it. This isn't over! I'll be back." The Senshi ran to John, the brunette, reaching him first, asked, "Are you......alright?" John ran a hand through his hair and looked into her eyes, "Hai....." They were lost in each others gaze for a few moments till, the other girls giggled and they looked away, blushing. John smiled and stood, held out his hand, "Konnichi wa, I'm John Sterling." They each shook his hand and interduced them selves, as Sailors Moon, Jupiter, Mars and Mercury. "Oh fuck," he said glancing at his watch. "Gomen," he appoligised for his language, "I've got to get home it's 4:45, or I'll be late for class." As he ran the way he'd come he waved at the girls," Sayonara, I'll see you ladies around." As he left the park he thought, "Jupiter smells almost like Roses and Rain."
An hour and a half later, Sensei Haruna walked into her classroom and was surprised that Usagi was in class before the bell. She shook her head and walked behind her desk and set down her breifcase, before addressing the class. She walked to the front of her desk and leanded against it, "Good morning, Class." The Class replied together, "Good Morning, Miss H!" She smiled, "We have a new student to day. He is a transfer student from America. His name is John Sterling." John walked in at his introduction and the female half of the class gasped. He was five-foot-five, tanned, the build of a track athelete, his hair was dark and long in a ponytail and slightly-spiked. His eyes were a deep amethyst. Three of said girls looked quickly at each other, mouths open and eyes questioning, "That's the guy from this morning!" Sensei stated, "Please make your new classmate feel welcome. Mr. Sterling please take the empty seat near Ms. Kino." John nodded and sat next to the brunette thinking, "These three look kind of like the Senshi." He saw that she was writing something on her paper, 'Hi! My name's Makoto. Would you like to eat lunch with me and my friends?' He nodded, thinking, "Makoto and Jupiter have the same perfume?" As the lunch bell rang he turned to Makoto, "I'll grab mine and I'll meet you outside?" She gave him a dazzaling smile, "Sure, see you outside." As he opened his locker he realized that he'd left his lunch at home. He shrugged, "Oh, well," and whistling went outside to find the beautiful Ms. Kino. As he walked out he saw the girls by a large tree and headed their way. As he walked up a boy with messy hair and thick lensed glasses poped up next to him and began to fire off questions, "Is it true that you are the same John Sterling that won each of the American National track, martial arts and snowboarding competentions, six years running." John nodded. "Where you also the youngest martail artist to make it to the final round of the World Martial Arts Tournament since the Legendary Son Goku?" "Yes," he replied tiredly, "Please leave me alone, kid. I'm really getting irritated by you." A girl with short, wavy redish-brown hair grabbed the boy by his ear and began to drag him away, "Melvin you need to leave the new guy alone." In a pained voice Melvin replied, "But, Molly..." John sighed and sat near Makoto, "Thank Kami for the Molleys of the world." He turned to the girls, "Is he always that bad." They nodded with large sweat drops. Makoto spoke up, "John, These are my friends Usagi Tsukino and Ami Mizuno." He nodded to them both, "It's a pleasure to meet all of you." He then felt a cheeky smile on his face, "Now it looks like I know all the three best looking girls in school!" Usagi chocked on a rice ball and Ami spit up part of her drink, causing John and Makoto to both laugh at their blushes. Ami quickly changed the subject, "John-san, were is your lunch?" He looked at the ground, "I ran out of the house without it today," he flushed beneath his tan as his stomach rumbled. Makoto giggled and offered some of hers. John shook his head, "Mako-chan, I can't take yours." Waving away his explaination, "I always bring extra. Go ahead try some J-chan," she fluttered her eyelashes and whispered, "Please?" John sighed in mock defeat, "How can I refuse the wishes of the beauty before me." The girls giggled at his theatrics. Makoto blushed as he chewed, "How is it?" He swallowed and looked awe-strucked at her, "This is some of the best food I've ever had!" For the first time Ami or Usagi could remeber Makoto acted shyly and gave a quiet, "Domo arigoto, J-chan."
As they were walking home after school he noticed that they were all going the same way and asked, "How far are you ladies going?" Ami replied, "We have a friend that is training at the Cherry Hill Temple, and we go there to study with her for school. She maybe a preistess in training but she still goes to school. Though it's a different school we still study together." Makoto snorted, "Yeah it's great to study there except for the fact that Rei's Grandpa is a dirty old man, funny, but still a dirty old man." John smiled, "Reminds me of Roshi." Makoto getting shy again asked, "Would you like to study with us, J-chan?" He smiled, "I'd love to Mako-chan," he sighed, "But I've some martial arts training and some work to do for my Sofubo. Maybe later?" She sniffed, "I don't know." John smirked at the others and took her hand in his, lifting it to his lips, he litely kissed her knuckles, "How about I take you to dinner tomorrow night, instead?" She grinned and whispered, "I'd like that, I'd like that very much, J-chan." He smiled winningly at her and whispered, "Then it's a date." The other two girls giggled as Makoto blushed, till Usagi tripped over a crack of in the pavement. As she rubbed her head, where it hit the sidewalk, a man in a dark green jacket, black shirt and shoes with brown slacks, and sunglasses walked up to them laughing at her, "Odango-Atama, the Clutzilla clutzes again!" He laughed loudly as Makoto stalked toward him, John placed a hand on her shoulder, "Please allow me, Mako-chan." She nodded and help Usagi up, John turned to the guy and in a calm voice stated, "I think you really should aplogize to Usa-san." This caused him to stop laughing, looking John in the eye and took an involintary step back at the cold glare. "Goman," he said quickly leaving. "Mamoru is such a baka," Usagi said after he left. John looked at them, "That happen often." "Hai," Ami said, "He just won't leave her alone." Usagi smiled at him, "Arigato, John-chan." "No problem," he said, "I stand up for my friends." John walked the girls to the stairs of the Temple, before he bid them good-bye, "I'll see you ladies later," he lend over to Makoto, handing her a small piece of paper and kissed the side of her mouth, "Call me later, Mako-chan." "Sayonara," Ami and Usagi replied. "Sayonara, J-chan," Makoto whispered. She had a dreamy look on her face as they watched him walk to the end of the block and turned down the street. Then they climbed the steps into the temple.
Meanwhile in the Lair of the Enemy. The evil Queen Beryl was vocally tearing Zoicite a new hole, "How could a simple human be able to defeat a creature as strong as Greedo!" Zoicite kneeling before her Queen, "My queen, the boy was giving off large amounts energy. He could become an excellent source of energy for Metallica...or," she paused, "He could become a great asset as a warrior of the Dark Kingdom." Beryl nodded, "Yes, yes he could prove useful to me. Bring this boy before me, at once. Metallica will decide if he be a servant or be drained." Zoicite stood, "At once, my Queen." Zoicite faded away to make a plan of attack.
John walked in from the backyard, three hours later, mopped at his sweaty forehead and called out, "Ojiisan! Ojiisan are you here?" The elderly man stuck his head out of the kitchen, "Hai! What's wrong?" John stepped into the kitchen and began to fill a glass with water, "Iie, nothing is wrong. However I was wondering if Mr. Lee still owns that resteraunt The Little White Dragon?" His sobu scratched his head in thought, "Hai, hai he does, why do you ask, Magomusuko?" John gulped down some water and looked slyly at his sofubo, "Well I met a girl at school and well we've got a dinner date tommorrow night. I'd like to take her there." His sobo held his gaze, "What, may I ask is this girls name and what does she look like?" John, a blissful smile growing on his face, "Well, she is about my hieght, shoulder length chestnut hair. She has a slight tan and the most beautiful jade green eyes I've ever seen. She looks like a Megami." John seemed lost in thought till his sofu laughed, "And would this megami have a name?" John blushed, running a hand through his sweaty hair replied, "Makoto Kino." They chuckled and his sofu said, "I'll call him now to setup a reservation for you two in the evening, okay." John's smiled, "Domo arigoto, Ojiisan!" After he left the room to make the call a serious look over came John's face, "John-kun," she asked, "What's wrong?" He looked up, "Nothing, but Mako-chan reminds me of someone I've met before but I just can't place where, that's all." He finished his water and stood up, putting his glass in the sink, "Obasan, I'm going for a walk. I'll be back in a hour or so." She nodded, "Becareful out there John." "Hai," he replied as he headed for the door. As he started off down the darkening street he began to think to him self, "I think I'll go to the Temple and pray to my Ryoshin. Who Knows maybe Mako-chan and the girls are still there." Smiling to himself he jogged toward the temple.
Thirty minutes later he was climb the steps when he heard a female voice yell out, "Jupiter Supreme Thunder!" John saw the flash of lightning and raced up the last few steps in time to the Sailor Senshi be flung into the air by Zoicite. As they hit the ground the Senshi where covered by a green slime. A youma that looked like a humanoid Lizard licked its chops as it approached Sailor Jupiter. The same rage that he felt that morning began to fill him again as he heard Mercruy call out to Moon, "Makoto's been knocked out!" Zoicite laughed again, "As I said earlier, the bitch dies first. T'kul drain Jupiter of her Life Force!" "OH, HELL NO," John yelled. Everyone turned toward him as his he yelled and his aura returned and he cupped his hands at his right side. "What the hell is that baka human doing now," Zoicite yelled. Mercury and Moon both screamed at him, "John-san, get away while you can!" John didn't hear them over the pounding of blood in his ears, a small globe of blue-white energy formed inbetween his hands, "Kama..." "T'kul capture him," Zoicite ordered. John continued as the lizard stalked toward him,"HAma..." Jupiter woke up and looked at John whispering, "J-chan." Luna raced outside toward the senshi and stared at John, "It can't be." The creature was five feet from John, when John yelled, "HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" He slamed his arms forward and a beam of the blu-white energy shot forth and slamed the lizardman into a tree. They watched in awe as the youma was vaporized and the beam disappeared. John turned to the stunned Negaverse general, fixing her with an intense glare. As they glared at each other a man, with white, shoulder-length hair, in a smilair uniform appeared by Zoicite, his was trimed in a pale blue along with a white cape. "Zoicite," he said, "Beryl wants you to return now." "Kunzite," she started, but Kunzite cut her off, "Just come on, before she gets pissed off." She glared at John again then both faded out.
John ran over to the girls and helped Jupiter up, "Are you alright, Mako-chan?" "How did..." "Mercury blurted it out," he answered as the said blue haired senshi blushed. John hugged Jupiter, "Besides I'd wondered if you three where the Senshi when I met you in class." "Why did you think that, John-san," Mars asked as they reverted their transformations. "Well," he began as they walked into the part of the shrine where the girls study, with an arm around Makoto's waist, while she had her's around his and sat down before continueing, "The first hint was Ami's hair color and of course Usa's hairstyle." The dark haired girl laughed and Usa stuck out her tongue,"Rei you big meanie!" John chuckled, "Well it is a very ...um... interesting style, Usa," She smiled slitly at him, "However the most obvious was Mako's perfume. I'd noticed it this morning." Makoto looked at him oddly, "Oh, and what do I smell like?" John's smile grew from a small smirk to a toothy grin, "You, my dear. You smell like a rose after a summer rain." Makoto's eyes shimmered with tears of joy as she climbed into his lap, "That was the sweetest, most poetic thing anyone has ever said to me. Arigoto, J-chan." Usa and Ami sighed as Rei had a soft smile on her lips, as Luna jumped on to the table and sat in the middle and coghed loudly, surprising everyone. John looked at the black cat in front of him, "That cat looks familiar." The cat smirked at him, "Well, Sir Keiran. I would certinly hope I would," She replied. John and the girls looked at her with confused looks. Makoto broke the silence first, "Luna what are you talking about?" "Keiran was the captain of the gaurd, a high ranking Knight of Jupiter, and your private bodygaurd/trainer," Luna said, "Also the two of you were betrothed." "What," John and Makoto both yelled. Ami giggled, "Luna, maybe you should tell John-san about the Silver Millenium and the Moon Kingdom." "Hai," she replied, "Well then, John. A thousand years ago..."
John listened in stunned silence, for half a hour, as Luna told him the story. When she had finished he exclaimed "That explains it!" They all looked at him. "Explains what," Makoto asked. "The dreams. The dreams I've been having the last few weeks. The've been about you and the last three or four of our days on the Moon." Luna looked surprised. "Really, J-chan. You've been dreaming of me?" He smiled at her, as she laid her head on his chest,"Hai, Koibito." Then he got a serius look on his face, "But with that joy I've also seen the destruction of the castle." They all looked pensive before he asked, "Hey, Luna. Why when I'm in the dreams is it only Makoto's face I can clearly see? Everyone elses faces are partially covered in sadows." Luna shrugged, "I don't know. I can see most of the faces in my memories, but not the Prince of Earth nor the Moon Princess. Along with a few others." Usagi spoke up, "Luna does this mean that John gets a Henshin item?" "Hum," Luna thought, "I seem to remember a wrist gaurd or a bracer, but I can't recall what it looked like. I'll have to go to the Moon tomorrow night. There I'll find it with the main computer." John looked at Makoto, "What time tomorrow night, Luna." "Midnight, should be good," she replied. "I guess that means dinner at eight," John said still looking at Makoto. "Hai," She replied. Makoto stood up,"I'm going to head home." John stood as well, "Mi'lady, may I have the honor of escorting you home?" She looped her arm through his offered arm, "Why, Thank you. I would be most pleased if my galant Knight escorted me to my residence." As they left the room, they called over their shoulders, "Ja ne." Usagi gathered up Luna, "We'll see you tomorrow." "Ja ne,"Ami said to both her and Rei as she left as well.
When they were a three blocks from Rei's, Makoto asked, "So, Where are you taking me on our date, J-chan." John smirked as he watched for passing cars, "Well as long as Chinese isn't going to give you any problems. I'll take us to The Little White Dragon." Makoto gapped at him, "You're joking right, I mean you've got to be shittin' me. That place has a month-long waiting list." John laughed at her expresion, "Mako-chan! I shit you not." Her face glowed and she squealed,(A/N: yes she squealed)"I can't believe it. I could just kiss you." John chuckled for a few minutes before becoming serious, "Mako, about what Luna said back there. About us being betrothed and all." Mako looked taken aback,"Hai?" "Do you like the idea of us being betrothed," He questioned, worriedly. Makoto didn't answer until they arrived at her townhouse. "Actually," She started, "I really enjoy the idea, J-chan." John let out a breathe he didn't know he'd been holding, "Good. So do I." He hugged her and gave her a quick, soft kiss on the lips, before whispering in her ear, "Oyasuminasai, watashi no Ohimesama." She whispered as he pulled back, "Oyasuminasai, watashi no seijitsu na Kishi." He kissed her knuckles slowly and watched as she entered her house. After she'd closed the door, he absently began to hum The Moonlight Sonata, under his breath as he began the homeward trek.
"Keiran," a voice said from an tree branch lening over the sidewalk. John looked up and saw Luna sitting there, "Yeah, Luna." She jumped, landing lightly on his shoulder, "I've found a communicator for you." John nodded, "Wait till we get to my room. Then you can give it to me." The cat nodded. John opened the door to his Sofubo's house, "Ojiisan! Obasan! I'm home!" John waited for a reply but it didn't come. "Luna somethings wrong. They never leave after six," he said as he made his way to their bedroom. As they neared the door, Luna whispered, "I'm sensing Negative energy, from in there, John." John nodded and slowly opened the door. The smell of ozone wafed at him, "Oh, Kami. Please, no. Not them, too." As they looked in there were two charred bodies on the floor. When John and entered, the T.V. sprang to life. "Well boy. You found some of my handy work." The rage rose up in him as he growled, "Zoicite." The video laughed, "You have three choices. One, you can surrender and be drained of your energy. Two, you can become a servant of Queen Beryl. Or, Third. You can resist and we'll kill off your friends, family and the senshi one-by-one." John growled as she smirked, "You have two days to decide. See you soon." Her picture faded away and a thirty second timer appeared on the screen. John and Luna's eyes widened as it counted down, "A bomb!" John grabbed Luna and ran towards the front door. Luna yowled, "We're not going to make it!" John yelled, "Oh, Shit," agreeing with Luna he jumped through the front picture window. As he landed he whispered to Luna, "Go get the girls." She ran off just as the bomb went off. The shockwave threw him to the sidewalk, while the explosion took out the houses on each side. "Damn you, Zoicite," He groaned out. The nieghbors came out side and watched as the Tokyo Fire Department, Police, and Ambulances drove up. John stared numbly at where his home used to be, vowing silently 'Zoicite will pay for this Sofubo. I promise you.' He then turned toward the paramedics, not noticing the few tears strimming down his face.
Thirty minutes later Makoto, Rei and her Sofu, Ami and her Okasan, and Usagi's family were there. When Makoto had gotten there she wrapped him in a hug as he silently sobbed on her shoulder. The other girls gave him hugs as well, but he never let go of Makoto. A police detective walked up to them, "Sterling-san. You had told the medics that bomb was attached to the video you saw." "Hai," he replied, "It looked like a member of some sort of neo-nazi group." The detective wrote that down, "Gomen, but you said that your Sofubo were already dead." John nodded, "Hai, It looked like they had been burned from the inside out. There was also a heavy smell of ozone in the air." "Arigoto," he replied, "I'll be in touch. Sayonara, Sterling-san." When the firefighters had left, they followed John to the back yard. He removed several large rocks and opened the door to the storm cellar. Makoto followed him down and watched as he grabbed a satchel and stuffed a box that was about 1' x 1', a wade of cash and three sets of clothes. He hugged her tightly, whispering, "Domo-arigoto, Mako-chan." "We'll get her don't worry. I'm glad your staying with me, J-chan," She replied smiking and waggling her eyebrows. John cocked an eyebrow at her before leading her back to the surface. He smiled at the others, "I'm thankful that all of you came." Usagi smiled, "What are friends for." As they left, the young couple called, "Ja ne." They slowly walked into her townhouse as the sun crested the Tokyo skyline. John gave her hand a soft squeezed her hand, "Could you point me to the shower, Mako-chan." She steered him toward the bathroom, "I'll make us some tea while your in there." John smiled and kissed her forehead, "I'll see you in a few." She smiled at him, as he walked into the bathroom. When she heard the shower going, she quickly stripped and pulled on her jade nightgown, before heading to the kitchen to start the tea. John stepped from the steem filled bathroom twenty minutes later wearing a pair of baggy white pants and towel drying his hair. As he walked to the living room, he heard the song 'Voices' from the movie Macross Plus, playing. He stood in the door way watching in rapt attention as Makoto danced slowly along with the song. 'My, Kami,' he thought, 'I'd not believed that she could get anymore beautiful.' He watched as her hair, which was unbound, swirled around her and the skirt of her nightgown move like the wind around her ankles. When the song ended he clapped softly, startling her, "That was gorgeous Mako-chan." She turned away blushing heavily. She gasped as John encircled her in his embrace, "Mako-chan," he whispered as he kissed her neck, "You look like a Megami. You know." She shuddered in joy at his words and his breath on her neck. She motioned to the couch, "The tea's on the table, J-chan." With one arm around her waist he sat on the couch pulling her down onto his lap. She giggled and handed him a cup. He inhaled the tea's scent deeply, "Rose tea?" "My favorite kind," she replied sweetly. He drank slowly while he rubbed her back in small, soft circles, "Silk?" "Satin, actully," she replied. He set their cups on the coffee table and lend back. "I need to go shopping soon," he said, as she snuggled into his chest and put her legs on the couch. "Later, sleep now," she sighed. John smiled and kissing her hair, placing his feet on the table settled in for a good nights sleep.
