****** A Mermaid With A Mission, Part 1 ******

Usagi hadn't been a mermaid in years, however
she never forgot all the hardship she went through
that eventually returned her to being human. Usagi
met with the others at the Hikawa Shrine. Mamoru
also was there. He sat next to Usagi. Rei was discussing
of something she saw in the Sacred Fire.

"Rei-Chan, you saw something in the Sacred Fire did you?"

Makoto asked in a curious tone. She wanted to know what Rei
saw.

"I couldn't see much. All I noticed was that something had
happened in the world, but I don't know where."

Rei answered as she recalled the vision she had seen in the
fire.

"Should we be concerned of what had happened?"

Haruka asked intently wanting to know more.

"All I know, I feel it has nothing to do with us."

Rei answered again not knowing that Usagi's help would be
called on soon enough. Elsewhere in town, the mermaid Vanessa
assumed human form and she ran throughout Tokyo looking for
Usagi Tsukino. Vanessa wore a blue dress that went to the floor.
No one ever know that Vanessa was a mermaid. She also could speak
human speech as well as the mermaid language. She asked many people
of where to find Usagi and Motoki had informed her that Usagi was
at the Shrine. She went towards the Shrine. She carried a small bag
with her. She poured all the water that was in the bag so that it would
be much lighter when she would present it to Usagi. In the bag contained
a really strong potion to turn Usagi back into a mermaid and a letter
for Usagi. She made it to the shrine and entered and search for Usagi.
She finally found Usagi and knelt at Usagi's feet and spoke in the mermaid
language to where only Usagi understood what she was saying.

"I need your help! Dark times has befallen us!"

Vanessa announced in a grave tone. Usagi set Vanessa to her feet and spoke.

"You don't have to kneel before me." Usagi told Vanessa and then spoke to Rei.
"Rei, could you please get Vanessa a chair and some water too."

Usagi asked Rei and Rei went and got a chair and some water and Usagi motioned
for Vanessa to sit. The others were puzzled who Vanessa was and then Usagi
spoke to the others.

"Everyone, I know what you are thinking! Who is Vanessa? That can be easily answered!
She is the adviser to King Triton, king of the Mermaid Kingdom. Vanessa and the nurse
Elsie helped me when I was there and I am grateful for their help and from their king
too. Vanessa, these are the Senshi I told you about. You can trust them. I trust them
with my life."

Usagi revealed to the others about Vanessa and then told Vanessa that she trusted them
with her life. Vanessa told a drink of water and then spoke in human speech so everyone
could understand her.

"I was sent by the daughter of King Triton to locate you and to give you this letter
personally. Here please read the letter."

Vanessa told Usagi. Usagi too the letter and she read it out loud and it read:

'Dear Usagi Tsukino,

I hereby request for your help. My father, King Triton has been abducted by monsters
and they have taken him to another part of the world. I know you had received help
from my father before and know that you are now human. I have asked Elsie the head
nurse here to prepare a potion to temporarily transform you into a mermaid. Please
make preparations come here as soon as you can. I will be waiting for you. Please
help us. We are in need of your help.

Signed,

Adara, Princess of the Mermaid Kingdom.'

Usagi closed up the letter and spoke to Vanessa.

"How much time do we have until you go back into the water?"

Usagi asked Vanessa about how much time she had left of being out of the water.

"Not much time left, I spent a lot of time locating you."

Vanessa replied.

"Then, I know what to get at my house."

Usagi spoke up regarding the Mermaid Spear and the device that Ami had made. It
contained Mercury and Neptune's power and it also was modified by King Triton
himself. Haruka along with Michiru drove Usagi to her house and they waited
outside for Usagi. Usagi along with Vanessa went inside. Ikuko greeted them.

"Hello Usagi. Welcome back! Who is your friend?"

Ikuko asked of who Vanessa was. Vanessa was instructed on the way to Usagi's
house that Ikuko didn't know Usagi was Sailor Moon. Usagi answered her mother.

"She is a friend of mine that helped me sometime ago and she can to visit me
and to see how I was doing. I have to get a couple of items."

Usagi spoke to her mother and then she ran upstairs into her room. In the corner
was the Mermaid Spear where she had left it before. And in a drawer was the device
that Ami made for her. Usagi and Vanessa went down stairs back to where her mother
was. Ikuko saw the Mermaid Spear again. She wondered what Usagi was going to use it
for.

"What are you going to do with that spear?"

Ikuko asked.

"Oh, this? Makoto and Ami are going to show me how to use it."

Usagi answered her mother. However, Usagi knew already how to use it.

"I see. Just be careful sweetheart. See you later."

Ikuko told Usagi. Usagi and Vanessa left. They got back into Haruka's car.
and they took them to the harbor where they originally took Usagi when she
was a Mermaid. Usagi took the large jar out of the bag that Vanessa gave to
her and she cringed a bit and she spoke.

"I suppose if Elsie gave this to you for me that it must taste awful?"

Usagi asked Vanessa who already gotten in the water and waited to transform
back. Rei and the others had arrived with Mamoru. Usagi took her brooch and
spoke first.

"Moon Eternal! Make Up!"

Usagi yelled transforming into Eternal Sailor Moon. Then she opened the lid
to the jar and began to drink the liquid. The liquid was very bad tasting,
however she had no choice. She finished the whole jar. Usagi put down the jar
and she stepped in the water. The water was cold at first and as her body adapted
to the water. Then in moments Usagi transformed back into a mermaid.

"Where do we go? I need rest and I know that potion will make you sleepy too before
too long."

Vanessa spoke up regarding them resting. Usagi then remembered something and spoke.

"I know where we can go! Everyone, we will see you tomorrow morning!"

Usagi told Rei and the others and both Vanessa and Usagi dove under the water and
swam off. Usagi took the lead and led Vanessa to the cave of the hermit Jeremiah
Jack. He saw both of them and he greeted them warmly.

"Well, well, I haven't had guests in years. They call me Jeremiah Jack!"

Jeremiah Jack Greeted them. Usagi spoke up.

"Jeremiah Jack, it's me Usagi Tsukino. Remember I had been transformed into a mermaid
and I was saved by the mermaid of the Mermaid Kingdom?"

Usagi asked him. Then he remembered of what transpired in the past. He spoke again.

"Yes, I remember now lass. Why are you a mermaid again?"

Jeremiah Jack asked her.

"Oh, it's to help Vanessa here. I owe them a lot and I couldn't refuse to help them.
May we rest here tonight?"

Usagi explained and asked if they could rest there. He nodded his approval. They
rested for the rest of the night. The next day, they would begin their long
journey to the Kingdom of The Mermaids.
