Disclaimers: Hiya people!  I DO NOT (notice the capital letters ^_^;) own Sailormoon.  It belongs to one of the best manga writers in history, Naoko Takeuchi. _ She is cool, not only did she do Sailormoon, but she also did Sailor V, and a new one named Miss Rain? I think?  Well if you know anything else, please tell me!

A Different Time, Place, and Life

Chapter 2- Breath of Fresh Air

"Usagi!" note note!  I've changed Serena's name to Usagi, it's kinda better… ^^ it's the Japanese translation and I've also changed the original names that I used in the last chapter back to the Japanese version ^^

Usagi turns around to face that person that called her to see her friend waving at her.

Usagi smiles, "Ohayo (Good Morning) Naru!"

Naru catches up with her and pants, "Usagi, you forgot to wait for me yesterday after school…"

Usagi thinks for a second, "Oh!  I'm so sorry!  I completely forgot!  It was because after I had tennis club and the gardening club and everything else.  I was so busy!"

Naru smiles, "It's ok, you know I also had the newspaper club, and literary club…"

Usagi sighs, "We've been so busy lately, don't cha think?"

Naru nods, "Yea, with all of our clubs, and all of the schoolwork!  It's so much ever since we started high school last year."

Usagi looks up into the sky, "You know what… I haven't even gotten the new issue of my comic last week…"

Naru looks at her, "Well, why won't we go pick up a copy later after school?"

Usagi smiles, "Yea!  It's Friday! You don't mind?"

Naru smiles, "Of course not, I have to pick up my issue of my favorite magazine too."

Usagi winks, "Yeah, let's go!"

Naru giggles, "Yea, but if we don't walk any faster, we'll be late!"

Usagi quickly looks at her watch and gasps, "Whoa…" she grabs Naru's hand and drags her along, "it's time for my morning run!"

"AAAHHHH!!!!!!"

~At the school…

Usagi and Naru are now walking up the stairs towards their classroom.

Usagi then pouts at Naru, "Naru-chan, if you didn't come out late today, we wouldn't be late now…"

Naru glares at her, "Well sorry!  I was studying last night for that big math test that we have in 1st period!"

Usagi stops for a second and looks at Naru strangely, "Huh?  What math test?"

Naru looks at her strangely, "um…the math test that we have today."

Usagi's eyes widen, "What?!?!?!"

Naru sighs, "You know what Usagi?" she look at the spot that Usagi was standing and blinks to find her running up the stairs to the classroom.  "USAGI! WAIT FOR ME!"

Usagi stops as she reaches the top of the stairs, and turns around to wait for Naru, "Naru!  Hurry up!   I need to study!"

Naru finally reaches to her and sighs, "What's the point of studying for you anyways?  You always get 90's and 100's."

Usagi panics, "It's doesn't matter!  I just got lucky!"

Naru laughs, "Lucky?  I study just as hard as you and I get B's!  Now, why is that?"

Usagi walks backwards in front of Naru, as they turn the corner; of course she isn't watching where she are going…

*CRASH*

"Owww… itat…" as Usagi sits up, moaning with her eyes closed and rubbing the back of her head.

"Owww…"

Usagi opens her eyes and turns around on her knees to see a guy with jet-black hair, and the most admirable blue eyes.

The guy looks her, "Oh, I'm sorry, I was studying and didn't watch where was I going."

Naru taps Usagi's shoulder as she comes back to reality, "Usagi?  Are you alright?"

Usagi blinks and looks at Naru, "Oh. Yea, I'm fine."

The guy gets up and picks up Usagi's bag and hands it to her, "Here, uh, so what is your name?"

Usagi gets up, "My name is Tuskino Usagi" she takes her bag, "Thanks a lot"

The guy smiles, "My name is Chiba Mamoru.  Nice to meet you Tuskino-san, and sorry again."

Usagi smiles, "Nice to meet you too, and it's alright, I'm fine."

*BRRIINNGG*

Naru shrieks, "Usagi!  We're late!" she grabs Usagi's hand and runs down the hall towards their classroom.

As Usagi is being pulled by Naru's hand, she gives a little wave to Mamoru.

Mamoru smiles and waves back as she and Naru turn the corner to get to their classroom.

Mamoru sighs and suddenly feels strange, =that girl from before… I sensed something from her…something strange…what was the feeling? =

"MAMORU!"

Mamoru turns to see Nephrite running towards him, when he reaches him, "Why aren't you in class?"

Mamoru blinks, "I thought that as the warning bell… wasn't it?"

Nephrite looks at him strangely O.o, "Uh… no… Great!"

Mamoru looks confused, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?"

Nephrite smiles, "Now I have someone to be late with today!"

Mamoru's eyes widen, "Late!  Ahhh!  Math test!  Artemis is going to hurt me if he finds out that I missed the test!"

Mamoru starts running up the stairs as Nephrite shouts, "Hey wait for me!"

~Meanwhile…

Hotaru screams as she is in a swirling tornado of wind, "NNOOOOO!"

Mercury uses her glasses and types into her mini computer that Luna gave her, "Pluto!  Don't go near her!  Luna?  Do you see this?"

Pluto hesitates, "We can't leave her like this!"

*Luna answers from the control center, "Yes, I see this!  But be very careful!  Her destructive energy is very strong!"

Neptune and Venus hold her off, and Venus says, "Pluto!  Calm down!  Mercury is still analyzing her tornado.  We don't want to hurt!"

Pluto stops resisting and calms down.

"He he he, having trouble pathetic sailors scout agents?"

Mercury, Venus, Neptune, and Pluto look at the voice.

Neptune grits her teeth, "Kaori."

Mercury tells Luna, "Luna, we will have to talk to you later."

*Luna answers, "Yes, but keep your glasses on and continue analyzing the energy!"

Mercury nods, "Yes, I will."

Kaori gives an annoying laugh, "I see that I'm remembered well."

Venus glares at her hateful eyes, "You witch, what do you want this time?"

Kaori gives another annoying laugh, "Of course nothing but that reincarnated Sailor Saturn."

Pluto glares at her, "Well you won't have her!" She raises her garnet orb, "Deadly Scream!"

Neptune also decides to attack, "Deep Submerge!"

Their attacks go flying together towards Kaori Knight, however, Eudial and Tellu step in and diffuse the power.

Neptune and Pluto gasp.

Eudial takes out one of her inventions, "Death Buster Fire Blast!"

Neptune raises her arms, "Deep Submerge!" The Fire from Eudial is dispersed.

Eudial grits her teeth, Tellu puts her arm in front of Eudial, "My turn."

Eudial smiles, Tellu smirks and raises her hand toward the scouts, "Venom poison!"

The poison comes from her hand as a mist and covers the entire area affecting the scouts except Hotaru, Tellu, Eudial, and Kaori.

*Luna cries from the other end, "Scouts!"

As the scouts cough on the poison and fall to the floor, Kaori laughs.

Pluto coughs heavily, "Scouts! *cough cough* We…we must… complete… this misson!"

Venus coughs, "I can't move!  What is this stuff anyway?!?"

Neptune stammers, "The poison is paralyzing us!"

Mercury struggles to continue typing, "Argh… I can't continue analyzing the tornado!"

Kaori gives an evil laugh, "Finally, we can bring little Hotaru to Chaos.  Tellu, Eudial, throw your powers at that tornado.

"Venom Poison!"  "Death Buster Fire Blast!"

The two powers fly towards Hotaru, then suddenly Hotaru opens her eyes, and lights shine from her dispersing the powers.

Eudial and Tellu gasp.

Kaori glares at her, "How can this happen?  What is going on?"

*Luna gasps, "She is awakening!"

Eudial glances at Kaori, "This isn't a good thing is it?"

Kaori stares angrily, "Of course not!"

*Retreat!

Kaori looks at her communicator, "Chaos?"

*She is too strong for you three…

Kaori talks into the communicator, "But…"

*Mistress 9 counters, "Are you crazy Kaori?  You are only on level 17!"

Kaori takes a deep breath, as she gets ready to scream into the communicator when suddenly…

The light from Hotaru dims down, and Hotaru raises her arm in the air, "Saturn Planet Power!"

Hotaru changes from her ordinary school uniform to the original scout suit.

Pluto, Neptune, Venus, Mercury gasp with widened eyes.

Saturn slowly floats down to the ground.

Kaori grits her teeth and turns to her followers, "Retreat as Chaos said!"

The three of them jump and disappear.

Saturn runs toward the scouts and kneels down smiling, "Are you all okay?"

Pluto smiles weakly, "Unfortunately not with all this poison over us."

Saturn closes her eyes and a warm light touches the four.  The poison disappears, and they get up.

Pluto smiles, "Thank you so much, but it's time to bring back with us."

Saturn nods, "I understand, I will go with you."

Pluto talks into the communicator, "Luna, Mission completed."

*Luna nods from the other end, "Congratulations, come back immediately.

Everyone smiles and nods; Venus notices footsteps coming towards them, "Scouts!  Let's go before someone sees us and wonders what's going on!"

They all jump and head towards headquarters.

~Back at headquarters…

The scouts are now walking in the hall, and they see Artemis just turning the corner.

Venus cries, "Artemis!"

Artemis turns back, "Hey Scouts!" he sees Saturn and smiles, "Well, looks like we have a new friend."

Saturn smiles back; Pluto places her hand on Saturn's shoulder, "Artemis, where's Luna?  I'm sure she is looking forward to meeting her."

Artemis smiles and thinks for a second, "I believe she is still in the control room analyzing the last battle stimulation, and planning the next one."

Venus sighs, "Aww.  Darn."

Saturn says with curious eyes, "Battle Stimulation?"

Artemis looks at them both and winks, "Don't worry about it girls… it's for the guys since they missed the last one."

Venus and Mercury now sigh with happiness.

Artemis starts down the hallway towards the control room, "Well, shouldn't we be going?"

They all nod and start walking behind him.

~In another place with the opposite atmosphere…

"ARE YOU CRAZY KAORI KNIGHT?"

Kaori kneels down begging to Chaos, "I'm so sorry Chaos…"

"HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUPID?  YOU KNOW THAT YOU SHOULD CAPTURE HER BEFORE SHE AWAKENED!"

Kaori begs even more, "I'm sorry Chaos!  But what about the times when they got all the other scouts?"

"THAT DOESN'T MATTER!  FROM NOW ON YOU WILL NOT BE THE ONE TO BE IN THE CONTROL ROOM ANALYZING EVERYTHING!  MISTRESS 9 WILL DO IT FROM NOW ON.  YOU WILL BE IN THE TRAINING ROOM!"

Mistress 9 smirks as she sits comfortably on the chair next to the controls.

Kaori says with her widened eyes, "NO!  PLEASE!"

Chaos opens the control room door and points out, "YOU USELESS THING, GET OUT!  I DON'T NEED YOU IN HERE."

Kaori begs again with frighten eyes, "PLEASE!  NO!"

Chaos says with anger in his eyes, "YOU ARE USELESS!  GET OUT OR ELSE YOUR PUNISHMENT WILL BE FAR WORSE!"

He then pushes her out; then closes the door and locks it.

Kaori bangs on the door from the outside and whines, "CHAOS!  PLEASE GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE!"

Chaos sighs and sits on the chair next to Mistress 9, "Pathetic witch."

Mistress 9 smirks, "So you're giving her another chance?"

Chaos sighs restlessly, "Of course… if I don't everyone else is going to rebel against me, and when everyone does that I will destroy them… and all of my energy will be wasted…  it really annoys me…"

Mistress 9 starts typing into the computer, "So what is there to analyze?"

Chaos smiles and dumps a 4 feet high pile of papers, "This should be it."

Mistress 9 stares at the pile, "Why is there so much?"

Chaos scratches his head absentmindedly, "Well, Kaori never got around to doing it."

Mistress 9 sighs, "Well time to get to work" she takes the first one and types rapidly into the computer.

Chaos smiles at her speed compared to Kaori's.
