****** Fever ******
Usagi's life was very peaceful. She had the best friends that any
one could ever dream of having. This morning, the sun was shining
and Usagi ran down the street and running towards the Game Crown Arcade.
She entered the arcade. Motoki greeted her.
"Hello Usagi-Chan!"
Motoki greeted her warmly.
"Hello Motoki-San!"
Usagi greeted him back.
"How are you doing today?"
Motoki asked her.
"Oh, I am doing great!"
Usagi replied cheerfully and Motoki smiled at her. Then Usagi
went to a booth at the cafe that connected to the arcade and
Unazuki took her order.
"Hello Usagi-Chan, how may I help you?"
Unazuki asked in a cheerful tone.
"How about a Chocolate Milkshake, an apple, and a muffin?"
Usagi asked her.
"You got it!"
Unazuki replied by giving Usagi a 'thumbs up.' Then Unazuki
went and got Usagi's order. Usagi thought about the upcoming
get together that Makoto had planned for them. Usagi that it
would be fun. However, Usagi didn't know that a new trial
would be upon her. One far darker than she ever witnessed before.
Unazuki returned with her order and Usagi thanked her and she
ate her meal and Usagi returned home to prepare for the get together
at Makoto's apartment.
Meanwhile, Falconra had a special potion in his hand and he spoke.
"See this special potion? It was created by Crocodonus. This potion
once it is placed in a drink... the person will not feel the effects
at first, but over time the one who drinks it will feel sick and have
a fever and eventually the person will mutate into a Mutant that will serve
us!"
Falconra revealed to his minions.
"Such a delightful wicked plan my husband!"
Cowisis complemented on his plan.
"Yes wife... and once that girl named 'Sailor Moon' drinks this very small vial
of this toxin in her drink... she'll become one of us!"
Falconra laughed at his wicked plan. Then Falconra's son Bullapis walked in and he
spoke.
"Father, I have researched of what you asked me."
Bullapis revealed.
"OH!?"
Falconra took interest in the news of what Bullapis had found out.
"Yes father. After I had scoured Tokyo for the identity of Sailor Moon,
I have discovered her identity!"
Bullapis revealed to his father.
"Who is it my son?"
Falconra asked him.
"The girl's name is Tsukino Usagi and she is seventeen. She has the same
hairstyle like Sailor Moon."
Bullapis revealed to his father.
"Oh I see. Then when the time is right I will let you administer the
potion to Usagi's drink so that we know that she will be affected."
Falconra revealed to Bullapis.
"Yes father,I will carry out when you think the time is right."
Bullapis agreed and he would wait until the time was right. He would
also have to remain invisible so that the toxin could be given to Usagi
without being noticed.
Usagi was finished at home and took a change of clothes that she would
wear during the night. She also took Luna and a couple of Mangas as well
just in case she got bored. However, she felt that she wouldn't be bored.
Usagi went outside with a small suitcase and with Luna in tow and Haruka
and Michiru was waiting.
"Hello Odango, how are you doing?"
Haruka asked as Usagi and Luna got in the car.
"Doing great! The day couldn't have gotten any better."
Usagi replied in a cheerful tone.
"That's good."
After Usagi buckled herself in, Haruka drove off towards Makoto's apartment.
Michiru had seen in her mirror misfortune happen to Usagi and she expressed
to Rei about this. Both of them had a feeling that something might happen to
Usagi. Michiru and Rei decided not to tell Usagi of their recent revelations
about her so Usagi didn't ask any questions. They finally arrived at Makoto's
apartment and Usagi thanked Haruka and Michiru and she went inside. Usagi
greeted Makoto. Makoto had been busy all day cooking and baking for their get
together. However, their get together would eventually go wrong... horribly
wrong.
Ami, Rei, and Minako had arrived. Usagi sat on the couch. She had been waiting
for the other girls to arrive. Makoto had the whole evening planned. However,
no one knew exactly what would happen. Makoto had her video gaming system hooked
up. It was a Nintendo 64 and the girls all took turns at Playing Mario Kart 64.
Bullapis watched carefully. He was in the apartment too, but invisible to the
girls. He had to planned it right. Makoto had brought Usagi some orange juice.
And Bullapis waited for the right time when Usagi was done with the orange juice
and she would ask for something else to drink. Once Usagi was done she asked for
some more orange juice. And Makoto took Usagi's empty glass and went into the
kitchen and while Makoto was in her fridge getting out the orange juice, Bullapis
pour in the small potion into the empty glass. The potion looked clear and Makoto wouldn't
notice anything different. Then Bullapis watched to see if the drink would be delivered
to Usagi. Makoto poured in the orange juice and then took the O.J. to Usagi. Then
Bullapis was confident knowing the toxin would be delivered to Usagi and he teleported
back to his father to present the good news about Usagi's impending misfortune. Usagi
began to drink her orange juice and when she finished it, she felt no ill effects at
first. However, the toxins would take hours for her to produce a fever. The first
ill effects was Usagi felt dizzy and sleepy and then Usagi slumped over on the couch
where she was sleeping. It was several minutes before Usagi was discovered unconscious.
When Makoto discovered Usagi unconscious, she ran to Usagi in fear of what had happened.
She tried waking up Usagi, but Usagi didn't respond. Rei, Ami, Minako, Luna, and Artemis
was also alerted to this sudden turn of events. Makoto picked up Usagi and placed her
in her bed while Ami did tests on the glass that had the toxins. Ami discovered the
glass had something unidentifiable besides the orange juice and this concerned Ami.
Usagi remained asleep for an hour and she finally awoke seeing everyone watching her
with concerned looks in their eyes. She had no idea what had happened earlier. Ami
spoke to Usagi.
"Usagi-Chan, are you alright?"
Ami asked her and Usagi didn't know what had happened to her.
"I feel a little tired but, other than that I feel fine."
Usagi replied in a tired tone. Whatever had affected her, was still at work.
"What do we do?"
Rei asked Ami and Ami turned towards Rei and she answered.
"For now, I think Haruka and Michiru should return and take Usagi home. She
needs to be home resting. I will have to test the residue in Usagi's glass to
see what it was."
Ami explained. Rei, Makoto, and Minako agreed that Usagi should be taken home.
Haruka and Michiru returned by the request of Ami and she explained of what happened
to Usagi. They brought Usagi back to her home and her mother took Usagi and put her
to bed. In the middle of the night, the toxins in Usagi had taken effect and Usagi
had developed a high fever. Usagi woke up. Her body was sweating. She knew something
was wrong. Rei had returned to the Shrine. Usagi knew she needed help and she left the
Tsukino Household and walked slowly towards the Shrine. She had to get there. her mind
started to become cloudy. With each slow step she took it meant that something dreadful
could happen. After a long while, Usagi made it to the Shrine. She started calling for
Rei's name. She was in trouble. She yelled in desperation of her situation. Finally, Rei
woke up to the sound of Usagi's voice. Rei found Usagi standing place calling out to
Rei.
"I am here Usagi, what happened?"
Rei asked in a worried tone. Usagi couldn't see Rei very well.
"My head... its burning!"
Usagi complained. Rei felt Usagi's head and she was burning up. Usagi being completely
tired from the ordeal fainted and collapsed into Rei's arms. Rei then understood her
vision very well. Rei took Usagi and placed her in a bed in one of the guestrooms and
called Ami, Makoto, and Minako. They arrived at the shrine within minutes. Ami spoke.
"What's wrong?"
Ami asked in a curious tone.
"It's Usagi, she has a fever a very dangerous one I believe."
Rei explained to the others. Ami felt Usagi's forehead and she answered Rei.
"We need to act fast. We will need a wash basin and some wash rags. We must try to
lower her temperature and quickly!"
Ami spoke with urgency. Rei got the wash rags and the wash basin. It was filled
with cold water. They started to put the cool wash rags on Usagi's forehead to
lower her temperature. And after a few hours, Usagi's fever broke and by daybreak,
Usagi's temperature had returned to normal. They were amazed that Usagi's temperature
had vanished so quickly. There were something they didn't know yet. They had a mystery
to solve. However, Usagi would only grow worse as the toxins continued their work.
