Introduction
Hi, there!
This is a short little thing I wrote just for fun. The setting is Sailor Moon, season 1. Sailors Mercury and Mars have been discovered, but Jadeite is not yet beaten. This is intended to coincide with the Megaman timeline in between 7 and 8. It assumes that the exploits of the Dark Kingdom and of Dr. Wiley are relatively secretive.
If you think this crossover is a bit unlikely, I think it is best enjoyed if you adhere to a principle best summed up by the phrase "suspension of disbelief."

Prologue: "Sailor Who?"
"On behalf of the Moon, I will punish you!"
-Sailor Moon
At first glance, what the casual observer would see a man in black armor on the rampage with a purple armor-clad wolf. At first glance, this man appeared to have Herculean strength; he used it to smash brick walls and knock over street signs. At first glance, no one would know that he and his wolf were machines.
"If this doesn't get Megaman's attention, I don't know what will," he thought, putting his fist through the glass window of a bridal shop. "I'll crush him yet!"
"Stop right there!" yelled a child-like voice from behind him.
The antagonist turned, expecting to see another of his kind. His eyes, instead, met with three teenaged girls. "I've been expecting you, Me...-- Who are you?"
The first to respond was the one who bade him to halt. She sported two very long pigtails and a stylized red, white, and blue sailor outfit. "We are the beautiful sailor-suited soldiers of love and justice!"
"I am Sailor Mercury!" declared the second girl. Her manner of dress was very similar to the first girl, except that her outfit was only blue and white.
"I am Sailor Mars!" announced the third girl, similarly. She was dressed in red and white.
"I am Sailor Moon!" exclaimed the first girl. "On behalf of the Moon, I will punish you!"
The man in black armor simply stood and regarded the sight of three girls in sailor outfits with annoyance. He motioned toward his robotic canine. "This is Trebble..." Then, he pointed his thumb into his chest. "...I'm Bass..." Finally, his left hand sank into the interior of his forearm. He leveled the resulting void at the three girls. "...and we're not impressed!"
Bass fired bolts of plasma from his arm cannon, called the Bass-Buster, at the three nuisances. They scattered to avoid the blasts and the explosions of asphalt on the street.
The armored attacker's attention was diverted when a rose skimmed his face and embedded itself in the sidewalk. Upon searching for this botanical bullet's origin, he discovered a formally-dressed individual on the rooftop of the bridal shop.
Sailor Moon clasped her hands together and blushed deeply. "Oh, it's Tuxedo Mask," she cooed.
"Stop your troublesome destruction, evildoer!" Tuxedo Mask ordered. "Believe in yourself, Sailor Moon!"
Bass smiled, a little amused at the speech made by the would-be superhero. "Trebble!" he called. "Transform!"
At the order, the purple wolf tucked in his legs and retracted his tail. After extruding a pair of jet engines from his rear, Trebble flew to his master.
"See you later, losers! I've got bigger fish to fry! With that sentiment, Bass jumped atop his canine companion and flew off into the stratosphere.
"I don't think I like this, Sailor Moon," commented Sailor Mercury.
