Chapter 1 "Serena!!" Luna pounced on Sailor Moon's bed early one Saturday morning. "Sarina! Get up! There is a disturbance in the Earth's energy, and I fear that it might be the Nega-verse at work!"

"It's too early," Sailor Moon said sleepily and rolled over.

"Serena! Get up you lazy oaf!"

"All right! I'm up!" Sailor Moon sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. "What time is it anyway?"

Luna was getting impatient, "Never mind what time it is! You've got to hurry and gather the Sailor Scouts and get there, fast!"

Goku and Vegeta stood in an old, ornamented building. Neither moved far, but both were bewildered.

"So, is this the place?" Vegeta asked tentatively.

Goku blinked several times in confusion before answering. "I - I'm not sure."

Vegeta walked forward to get a different view on the room. "This place looks like some type of old museum!"

"Except without the exhibits," Goku observed. "Man, it looks abandoned."

At that moment, Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Mars, before they turned into Sailor Scouts, burst in through one of the doors. After they flung the double doors open, light spilled in and hit Goku. Vegeta, who is several meters ahead, is not noticed by the girls.

"Hey, you! What are you doing here!?" Sailor Mars barked at Goku.

Goku was confused, "Huh? Wha- me?"

"Yes, you!" Mars took up and aggressive stance. "What do you want, and why are you here?"

Sailor Moon, being the meatball head that she was, jumped back in disgust. "Eew! Where did you get that outfit?! It's horrible!"

"Serena!" Mercury scolded. "Were here to protect the Earth, not give fashion tips to the Mega-verse's minions!"

A Japanese sweatdrop appeared on Sailor Moon's head. "Sorry."

Goku scratched his head in confusion. "What the --?"

"Okay, Pumpkin Man," Mars tried to intimidate Goku, "I wanna know who sent you here and why you've come!"

Goku was becoming more confused by the second. "Tell us now or we'll beat the information outta ya!" Mercury joined the assault.

"I find that hard to believe," Goku muttered to himself. Then, aloud, he said, "My name is Goku, and I was sent here by Dende` to find something called the 'Red Heart Crystal,'"

"Red Heart Crystal," Mars said to Sailors Moon and Mercury, "sounds like something the Mega-verse would be after."

"Yeah," Mercury added her thoughts, "and this Dende` guy could be a new Nega-verse Master."

Sailor Moon was the only one to get side-tracked. "And what kind of name is Goku, anyway? I don't know which is worse, his name or his clothes!"

"Serena!!" Mars and Mercury shouted at the same time.

"Oops! Sorry guys!"

"Okay, back on track here!" Mercury stood up straight and addressed Goku, "We are the Sailor Scouts, and we will punish your evil ways!"

Goku raised an eyebrow, "Punish? Evil?"

Mercury then began her transformation. "Mercury power!" she shouted and began spinning. Goku adopted a defensive position, anticipating a quick attack. Mercury began to sparkle, a move that both Goku and Vegeta perceived as a power up, then her dress started to appear. By this time, Goku was getting tired, so he relaxed to a standing position, though still defensive. Mercury ended her transformation with a finishing pose, causing Goku to tense up in preparation of an attack that didn't come.

"I am Sailor Mercury!"

"Sailor?" This time it was Goku who became side-tracked. "As in, 'Pull up the anchor, we're putt'n her ta sea' sailor?"

"No! Not that type of sailor!"

"Then, what?"

"You wouldn't understand!" Mars cut in. "I'm tired of waiting!"

Goku smiled, "So am I!"

"Mars power!" Sailor Mars began her transformation as well.

"Oh boy!" Goku thought that this may actually be an attack, but he was badly mistaken.

Mars spun as Mercury had, and turned into a mirror reflecting pastel light. Goku realized what was happening, humphed, and stood up, not even thinking of defending himself. Mars' dress appeared as Mercury's had done, and she also finished with a pose, but it was different from that of Mercury's. Goku yawned and looked at his wrist, only to remind himself that he didn't wear a watch.

"Okay, Pumpkin Man," Sailor Mars taunted, "it's time you felt the power of fire!"

Goku snapped back into his defensive pose.

"Mars. . . fire. . ." Sailor Mars held her hands in a gun-like position, and began spinning slightly. Goku remained poised for the attack. Sailor Mars spun a little more and positioned her hands in front of her face, spun a few more times, then finished her attack. "Ignite!"

Goku became ecstatic, "All right!"

The spiral of fire seemed to take forever to reach Goku, but he was more than prepared when the attack finally came.
