SailorStar9: That was the prologue. This is Chapter 1. Before I begin the chapter proper, a question and answer section for the following reviewers.
Serenemoon92: Usagi and the other three Inner Senshi are still friends with Ami. The main problem lies with the two cats. They had not thought about the possibility of Crystal Tokyo having more than one pair of sovereigns.
Emmilynne: One sentence for you, flaming isn't going to get you anywhere.
Angel of Courage: Dustin/Mina I can take, but Shane/Hotaru? Between Shane's wisecracks and Hotaru's seriousness, not quite feasible. They'll tear each other apart! That is, if Haruka doesn't pull a 'World Shaking' on him first! LOL! Just picture this in your head:
Haruka (as Sailor Uranus): World Shaking!
Fires huge energy ball at the Red Wind Ranger.
Shane: Hhheeelllppp mmmeee! (Runs away, with the energy ball behind him.)
SailorStar9: (Sweatdrops) See what I mean? I was leaning more towards Hunter/Hotaru, but then… (Replaces Shane with Hunter and shudders.)
In conclusion, Senshi Vs Rangers, Senshi always wins.
Chapter 1: The Mysterious Warrior
Disclaimers: Seven words. I own nothing, except the darn plot.
Time Frame
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Post-Galaxia (obviously)
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: At the end of Thunder Strangers (2), before Sensei Guinea Pig gets captured.
A lone girl stood on the quarry, looking down at the battle.
Sighing as three rangers was tied up by the frog monster, Millennial Sailor Mercury waved her Caduceus away.
Raising a finger, she mutely pointed it at the monster below, whispering, "Icicle Beam."
A thin beam of ice shot from her extended finger, hitting the unsuspecting monster mere seconds later.
"What?" the monster questioned.
Nobody answered it as it was turned into an ice statue microseconds later.
Shane blinked as a thin beam of ice shot pass the trio, freezing the frog monster.
"Wow." Dustin whistled.
Tori sighed and shook her head. Summoning her powers, she freed the three of them and the Wind Rangers once again stood before the solidified enemy.
Back at Ninja Ops, Cam blinked at the sudden turn of events.
"Okay, what was that?" he exclaimed, blinking hard.
Sensei Guinea Pig smiled knowingly. So, she's finally here.
Turning to Sensei Guinea Pig, Cam asked, "Dad?"
The guinea pig nodded, "The one we seek has finally arrived."
Cam blinked, "You mean she is the Princess?"
Sensei Guinea Pig nodded again.
"Remember Cam, the Hime's element is ice and the crystal she wields is powerful enough for Lothor to notice." Sensei Guinea Pig advised.
Pushing his spectacles up, Cam noted, "So we must prevent Lothor from getting her."
Sensei Guinea Pig nodded.
Both Thunder Rangers were remotely surprised to find the frog monster frozen into ice.
Without any hesitation, they fired their blasters at the iced up monster, destroying it.
Then, they walked off.
Still on top of the quarry, Millennial Sailor Mercury frowned slightly.
Shouldn't the Rangers be fighting alongside with each other? She thought.
At that split second, a scroll came down from the sky, resurrecting the frog monster and magnifying it.
Knowing that it was up to the three Wind Rangers for now, Millennial Sailor Mercury beat a swift retreat.
Tapping on her earring, her crystal visor came over her eyes. Scanning the area, she quickly located the whereabouts of the two missing Thunder Rangers and went after them.
Back on Lothor's ship, the masked villain noted the sudden appearance of an enigmatic warrior who froze Amphibidor. Anyone who could do that with one single move was no pushover.
Chuckling to himself, Lothor knew who the fighter was.
"So, you're finally here, little Mercury princess." He muttered.
Stealthy following the two Thunder Rangers, Millennial Sailor
Mercury mentally cursed.
If I knew where they were going, I could teleport.
Almost half an hour later, the two Rangers stopped at the entrance of Ninja Ops and disappeared through a portal.
Millennial Sailor Mercury blinked and sighed.
I should've kept my mouth shut.
"I've been expecting you, Hime-sama." A male voice said, coming from the lake.
Millennial Sailor Mercury blinked in surprise. It took her a quite a while to recall the person.
"Watanabe-sensei, it has been a while."
"Yes, it has, Hime-sama. Please enter." Kanoi instructed.
Millennial Sailor Mercury nodded and stepped forward. A portal opened before her and she walked through.
Once in Ninja Ops, Millennial Sailor Mercury's visor went beeping crazily. Before she knew what happened, the Safiastra burst out of her broach, transforming her into her Princess form.
The three Wind Rangers arrived just in time to see Princess Amphitrite standing in the middle of Ninja Ops.
The two Thunder Rangers came out, with Cam in tow, just in time to see Princess Amphitrite before them.
Growling, the Thunder Rangers pushed Cam away, grabbed Sensei Guinea Pig and revealed themselves.
Then, they teleported away.
De-transforming back to Millennial Sailor Mercury, the ice senshi pulled out her compact computer and started typing furiously.
Cam, on the other hand, was seated at the Ops' console and typing frantically.
Minutes later, both computer screens beeped simultaneously.
Cam and Millennial Sailor Mercury frowned.
"I've found out where those two are." Millennial Sailor Mercury answered, looking up.
"And that would be…." Dustin prompted.
"The Mountain of the Lost Ninjas." Both Cam and Millennial Sailor Mercury chorused at the same time.
Blinking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Good to know I'm not the only techs around here." Cam commented.
Millennial Sailor Mercury smiled, "I was the tactician of the Sailor Senshi back home." She explained.
The three Rangers raised a questioning eyebrow.
"Sailor Senshi?" Shane asked.
Cam sighed, "You really haven't been paying attention in class, have you?"
Millennial Sailor Mercury explained, "Planetary soldiers like me, the main difference lies in the elements we control."
"But magic?" Tori asked, uncertain.
"Magic has always existed ever since time begun. It's just the problem of utilizing these mystic energies. Even in this age, magic still persists, but it never came out because technology had overpowered this time." Millennial Sailor Mercury added.
"And in simple English…" Dustin said, not comprehending.
Millennial Sailor Mercury sighed. Hard to believe these guys used to protect me.
"It's something like your ninja powers." Cam clarified.
Millennial Sailor Mercury nodded, "Only more concentrated and purified."
"And another thing," she added.
"And that would be…" Dustin prompted.
"Before you three keep asking more, we really should focus on finding your sensei." She death-panned.
Dustin nodded, "Good point."
By now, Tori was already flipping through the ancient scrolls.
"Erm, guys you won't want to know why those two headed there." She replied.
"Let me guess. The Gem of Souls." Millennial Sailor Mercury answered.
Tori nodded grimly.
Cam muttered profanities under his breath.
"And that's bad?" Dustin asked, puzzled.
"The Gem has more than enough power to break the force-field sensei placed around himself." Tori death-panned; before Millennial Sailor Mercury could deep-freeze the Earth Wind Ranger.
"Okay, that's bad." Dustin admitted.
After a short silence, the five agreed unanimously that they had to go after the two Thunder Rangers.
In the truck, Tori was upset about Blake's betrayal.
"Look not on the surface, but look deeper, Mizu no Senshi. Sometimes, it is not what it seems." Millennial Sailor Mercury advised.
Tori was confused.
"Mizu no Senshi?" she questioned.
"Soldier of Water, in Japanese." Millennial Sailor Mercury supplied.
Tori nodded.
"Quite appropriate." Shane noted.
As the three Wind Rangers took off in their Tsunami Cycles, Cam looked on, worriedly.
"Trust and believe." Millennial Sailor Mercury spoke.
Cam turned to her, slightly surprised.
She stepped up beside him and added reassuringly, "They will not fail."
"How do you know?" Cam pressed.
The Senshi of Ice just smiled.
"I just do."
Cam blinked and slowly nodded. There was just something about this girl that made him believe her.
Meanwhile, the Wind Rangers teamed up with the Thunder Rangers to fight off the Lost Ninjas.
After defeating the Lost Ninjas, the two Thunder Rangers took off to the Tomb of the Lost Ninjas, with the three Wind Rangers hot on their heels.
Confronted by Dustin and Shane, Hunter and Blake accused Sensei Guinea Pig of killing their parents.
At the same time, Tori faced off with Zurgane's monster with the Megazord alone. Using the turbine blaster, created by Discs Five and Six, she defeated the giant monster single-handedly.
However, it appeared it was for nothing, for Hunter and Blake had escaped with Sensei Guinea Pig.
The three pursued them to the tomb of Lost Ninjas where Blake and Hunter were about to destroy Sensei Guinea Pig with the Gem of Souls.
Hunter was just about to smash the Gem down, when a clear voice interjected, "Vengeance isn't everything."
The two Thunders turned to look at who had spoken.
Millennial Sailor Mercury stepped out, beside the three Wind Rangers.
Hunter growled, "What do you know?"
"It is true that I know nothing. But what I do know is that taking revenge will not solve anything."
Stepping forward, she continued, "Vengeance is a vicious cycle. Think about it, if the both of you do succeed in killing off Watanabe-sensei, the Wind Rangers will hunt you down to avenge their teacher. In the end, both the Wind and Thunder Academies will be at loggerheads with each other. Who do you think will benefit ultimately?"
At that, Blake gasped in understanding, "Lothor."
Tori nodded in realization, "Just like the story of the crane and oyster. In the end, the fisherman profited."
"That is true." A voice added.
The two Thunders turned to see the ghastly figures of their parents.
"It isn't Kanoi-san who killed us. It was Lothor." The mother revealed.
The father nodded.
Just then, the above-mentioned villain appeared.
"Quite true." He laughed.
Glancing around, he added, "Not only can I destroy all five Rangers at one go, I can also claim the crystal the little Mercury princess here holds."
"Not if we can do something about it." Shane retorted.
Taking the Red Wind Ranger's cue, the other two Wind Rangers stood in front of Millennial Sailor Mercury.
Morphers at hand, the three Wind Rangers prepared to morph.
Laughing evilly, Lothor blasted a chain of dark lightning at the group.
Then, the Gem of Souls activated, reflecting Lothor's power back at him, causing the scoundrel to disappear.
Under the advice of Sensei Guinea Pig, Cam then threw the shattered Gem of Souls into the ocean.
Then, turning to Millennial Sailor Mercury, Sensei Guinea Pig added, "Hime-sama, as the sensei of one of the two ninja academies entrusted to guard you, I must insist that you stay in Ninja Ops. It would be much safer for you."
Millennial Sailor Mercury nodded in agreement.
"I understand your worry, Watanabe-sensei, and I agree. The Senshi of Time has also instructed me to stay in Ninja Ops until Lothor has been vanquished."
Turning back to his son, Sensei Guinea Pig remarked, "Cam, I assume you have no objections."
The Japanese teen shook his head.
"Iie, ototu-san. I understand."
Millennial Sailor Mercury sighed in relief, "Arigato, Watanabe-san."
Cam rose a hand in protest, "Onegai, its just Cam, Hime-sama. Minna always call me that."
Millennial Sailor Mercury had to smile, "Only if the two of you call me Ami." She retaliated, dehenshinning back to Mizuno Ami.
Cam blinked and added, laughing, "I see I've been tricked."
"Much better than being easily tricked." Ami countered.
"And you two had better stop with the Japanese talk, since none of us here can understand." Tori interrupted.
Sensei Guinea Pig coughed.
"Erm, except for Sensei of course." Tori corrected herself.
Shane nodded, "Dustin's getting a headache just by listening."
"Am not!' the demorphed Earth Wind Ranger protested.
"Rrriiiggghhhttt." Shane muttered sarcastically.
"Getting back on the topic, what do we call you now?" Tori asked, looking pointedly at Ami.
"Watashiwa (spelling?) Mizuno Ami." Ami introduced herself, Japanese style.
She was met by three confused stares.
Cam sighed, "She says her name is Ami Mizuno." He translated.
"Why doesn't she say so?" Dustin asked.
"She just did." Cam death-panned.
"Oh!" Dustin nodded in realization.
That night, Ami silently slipped out of bed and exited Ninja Ops.
Stopping at the forest facing Ninja Ops, she let out a defeated sigh.
"Daijoubo desu ka?" a voice sounded behind her.
Startled, the girl turned, only to see a worried-looking Cam behind.
Ami let out a small smile, "Hai." She answered.
"You don't look alright." Cam pressed, sitting beside her.
"What happened?" he added.
Ami did not answer.
"Nightmare?" he suggested.
"Sort of. More like an unwanted memory though." She whispered.
"Want to tell me about it?" Cam asked, anxiety in his voice.
Ami stiffened a little, before narrating.
Dream Sequence
She was greeted by a pair of stone grey eyes that brought a chill down her back.
It felt as if someone had put a piece of ice down her shirt. Only that she was not wearing a shirt
Oh no, she was wearing a very familiar ice-blue dress that was much too short for her taste.
Suddenly there was a hand that slid down the length of the dress, stopping to grope her thigh.
Ami squirmed as a pair of lips crushed onto her own and she felt herself being pushed back onto a soft surface. Then there was a pressure of him lying on top of her.
She knew it was him.
Who else would it be?
She writhed again, trying to push him away.
She could barely breathe anymore, his thick cologne was almost suffocating when mixed with the overpowering, strong smell of gin that was lacing his voice.
"Stop fighting it, Amphitrite. I know you want this. Do not resist me." A voice laced with lust and want whispered into her ear, as a thick leg pushed between hers.
"Onegai,yamero." She pleaded, weakly.
He chuckled in her ear as he pushed one of the thin dress straps off her shoulder then kissed the spot it used to be.
"This is going to happen whether you want it to or not."
Amphitrite closed her eyes, afraid, but disgusted, as he ran a hand through her blue hair.
"After so long, and you'll finally be mine." He mumbled, stroking her hair.
"I'd just sit back and enjoy if I were you, Princess, since your precious protectors are currently tied up at the moment." He said with a cruel laugh.
End of Dream Sequence
Shocked, Cam blinked hard, twice.
"Wait a minute, he didn't…"
Ami shrugged, "That, I don't know. It just stopped there."
Cam nodded slowly.
"Then, maybe, I can help."
The two turned around.
"Down here." The voice added.
Following the sound, the two saw Sensei Guinea Pig, looking up at them.
"Dad!" Cam exclaimed.
"Watanabe-sensei." Ami gasped.
"Cam, retire to bed. Hime-sama, proceed to the Mediation Room." Sensei Guinea Pig ordered.
"But Dad." Cam protested, earning him a glare from his father.
Nodding reluctantly, he headed back.
Twenty minutes later, Ami was kneeling in the Mediation Room.
"Clear your mind of all thoughts and focus, Hime-sama. Only then, can I unlock that memory." Sensei Guinea Pig advised.
Minutes later, the dream sequence continued.
Memory sequence
"If you think we're 'a little tied up', think again, Earth Prince." A voice boomed, flinging a door open.
"Rangers." Prince Endymion sneered, getting off the frightened Princess Amphitrite.
"Your goons are no much for the six of us." Dustin added.
"Get off the Princess or else." Hunter demanded.
Prince Endymion taunted, "Or else what, Crimson Ranger?"
"Saturn Ribbon Entrap." Came Millennial Sailor Saturn's answer. The ribbon of silence wrapped itself securely around the Terran Prince.
"I have absolutely no idea what Serenity sees in you, Endymion." She scorned.
"Saturn, that was uncalled for." Prince Endymion hissed, struggling against the ribbon that was tightly wrapped around him.
A soft sob alerted the eight warriors present that Princess Amphitrite was crying.
The Green Samurai Ranger was immediately by her side.
"Take him to Queen Serenity. He should be punished accordingly." Millennial Sailor Saturn added.
Millennial Sailor Venus nodded, and dragged the bound Prince Endymion off.
"Cam, we'll leave the Princess to you." Hunter commented, detransforming alongside with the others.
The Green Samurai Ranger nodded, calling off his morph.
"Amphitrite,daijoubo desu. He's gone." Cam consoled the weeping Princess.
Princess Amphitrite just continued crying.
Cam remained silent as he allowed his love to cry her heart out.
After a while, Princess Amphitrite looked up at him, tears streaming down on face.
Tilting her head, Cam gently kissed away the tears of fright, reassuring her.
"Tenshi, gomen ne." he whispered, regretfully.
"Doushite?" she inquired, muttering through her drying up tears.
"I wasn't here when you needed me." He answered.
"Cam." Princess Amphitrite breathed.
"Suki da, koishii." He added.
"Suki da, koibito." She returned.
"Matsudai." She added.
"Matsudai." He sent back.
End of Memory sequenceAt that, Ami was snapped back to the present.
Endymion, demo doushite? She questioned herself.
"What was revealed might only be the surface." Sensei Guinea Pig advised.
Ami frowned, "Watanabe-sensei."
"I don't understand this. Why would the righteous Prince Endymion…"
Sensei Guinea Pig raised a, erm, paw.
"All will be answered in due time, Hime-sama. Right now, get some rest." He advised.
The Mercurian Princess nodded, bowed and exited the room.
