Author's note: Since we all know Rick came in the original film, so, I'm gonna skip his original intro and go straight to the present day and introduce our main protagonist in the Sailor Moon Continuum. Not that I own Sailor Moon or any thing else here.
Sailor Moon VS the Mummy.
Chapter one: "Oops."
Present day-1998; Cairo, Egypt-Africa.
Despite having a visit in America with relatives, Serena and her four best friends who are also her guardians and team-mates in their Sailor Scout group, had decided to take a trip to Egypt for further training, for both Serena to become a Pokemon trainer, and also train to get stronger to fight against the Shadow Souls from the Realm of Darkness. Amy had suggested that Egypt was a good place to train, because it would help them learn more knowlage skills(much to Serena's dismay).
Right now, on a nice day outside of Cairo, the sailor scouts were inside the Egyption museum, looking around in the library for some clues. Rini, Luna and Artemis were back in Amercia with Serena's relatives. As usual, none of the girls resisted in wanting to look around just for fun, being the teenagers that they were. Lita was looking for a good cook book, Mina just read some stuff just for fun, while thinking about new ideas for her mysterious book for her story, Raye was looking around on evil legends to make sure she would be more aware, and Amy was looking for history books for her studies.
As for Serena herself, being the lazy, klutzy, whimpy and childish girl that she was, wasn't interested in labor studies. Instead, she had opted to find some comic books, even though neither books were likely to be in either English or Japanese.
Another downside to this library, is that she wasn't having much luck in her search anyway.
"Good grief, you'd think that every library would have good comic books." Serena whispered to herself, as she looked at the tables, before continuing her search, and even, surprisingly, looked at the shelves as well.
She then added to herself, "No sign of the Relic books Sceptile mentioned either."
Yup, not only she was looking for comic books for her own entertainment, but she was on her mission to find the Relic Book, the book that connects to Temporal Tower, according to her new Pokemon friend who came from an alternate future that no longer exists, yet Sceptile, along with other erased Pokemon from the dark future were all given a chance to live in the new and correct time-line.
That didn't stop the darkness from attacking from different ways, because there's always someone messing with the darkness in their hearts, and, well, we all know what happens. Anyway, as the moon princess looked, she was just about to enter another gap of book shelves, when she noticed the librarian busy placing and correctly packing books back where they belonged.
What Serena was seeing was a strange sight. Because the librarian, named Evelyn Carnahan, was trying to place a book onto the opposite shelf behind her, while the ladder was on the shelf in front of her. Serena sweatdropped at the sight.
"That looks dangerous." She muttered to herself. Deciding that she wants to help, Serena approached.
But as she said, "Excuse me?", Evelyn, in fright and not paying attention, yelped and unexpectly pulled the ladder upright, dropping the book and holding onto the ladder for dear life, while it hobbles up-right with her weight, holding her breath and trying not to fall. Serena, seeing this, panicked.
"Help?" Evelyn muttered.
"H-hold on, ma'am!" Serena cried out, immediately rushing over and grabbed the bottom of the ladder, but she found that due to the older woman's awkward position, now she was struggling to get it right, and both of them were both sharply being turned around in circles, back and forth, trying to regain balance. Unfortunately, it gained speed and Serena then slips and falls backwards, while Evelyn falls foward with the ladder, all three hitting the bookshelf.
As Serena and Evelyn screamed all falling, the force of their fall caused the bookshelf to crash into another, and it did the same effect and this repeated again, again, and again, like a stack of dominos. The rest of the girls, seeing the danger, all screamed and ran out of the way to avoid getting crushed. Finally, it all stops, as all of the women now stood in the middle, looking around in horror at the terrible mess; bookshelves now on the floor, and books scattered all over the place.
Serena's eye twitched in horror, while Evelyn slowly replaced her reading glasses.
Slowly, Raye, Amy, Lita and Mina turned to Serena in sheer annoyance. "Serena..." Raye spoke slowly, "What, did, you, do?"
Instead of answering, both Serena and Evelyn could only mutter an unision but soft, "Oops."
Sighing, Raye grumbled, "Good grief, I knew your clumsiness was bad, but this is just ridiculous!"
"It was an accident!" Serena protested helplessly, "I was looking, and then I saw this lady having trouble, and, and-" trying to explain what happened, only to be interrupted by a male voice, who stuttered, "What-"
All of them turned to see the owner of the museum, Terrance, walking on and over the bookshelves, stuttering in horror, "Oh, c-I-h-how-" only to pause as he looked at all six women who just stood there, with Serena placing her hands behind her back, and Evelyn covering her mouth with her hand, both of them holding guilty looks on their faces, Serena looking more sheepishly guilty.
"Look at this!" Terrance told them, furiously as he stomped towards them. "Sons of the Pharoah! Give me frogs! Flies! Locusts! Anything, but you!" he yelled at Evelyn, "Compared to you, the other plagues were a joy!" before turning his attention to Serena and added, "And as for you, young lady! Explain yourself!"
"I'm terribly sorry! It was an accident!" Serena and Evelyn both said at the exact same time, with Serena adding, "I noticed that she was having trouble and I thought that she might needed help! I didn't mean it!"
Terrance begged to differ. "My girls. When Rameses destroyed Syria, that was an accident, and they didn't mean it." he said, before yelling again, "You... both...are catastrophes! Look at my library!" which shocked Lita, Mina, Amy and especially Raye who had planned to scold Serena a bit later. He then said, though to himself about Serena, "Teenagers! No respect!" before asking himself about Evelyn, "Why do I put up with you!?"
While Serena was feeling even more guilty, and was on a verge of crying, Evelyn, misunderstanding, replied, "W-well, you put up with me because I can- read and write ancient Egyptian and I can-I can decipher Hieroglyphics and hieratic…and, w-well, I am the only person within a thousand miles who knows how to properly code and catalog this library, that's why!"
"I put up with you because your father and mother were our finest patrons. That's why!" Terrance pointed out. "Allah rest their souls." he added, before he added, more angry, and directly to all of them, much to the others shock and confusion, "Now, I don't care how you do it, I don't care if you and your friends are on vacation or school field trip, I don't care if your friends had nothing to do with it, and I don't care how long it takes, every, single, one of you, straighten up this meshiver!"
Huffing, he storms away, while Evelyn felt more guilty yet angry, and Serena's friends were shocked and furious on that they were punished as well, and Serena herself comically teared up.
"Oh no...now I got others punished into the mess I made." Serena choaked, before crying out very loudly and wailed in despair, "WAAAHHH!" comically letting loose her tears(aka: waterworks) like a crybaby that she was.
"Nice going, meat-ball head!" Raye shouted, angry more at her friend than anything else, unlike the others. "Now we're all gonna stuck here thanks to your klutz skills!" which made Serena cry even harder.
Amy and Lita both glared at Raye, while Mina tried to get Serena to calm down, saying words that what Serena did was an accident. "Raye! You're not helping!" Amy scolded her friend who wasn't even sorry.
"Yeah, that guy's just got a bad attitude." Lita agreed.
Evelyn sighed, "I'm sorry all of you got into trouble. It's all my fault."
"It's alright. It was an accident." Amy smiled at the older woman, while Serena managed to stop her hysterics, but still sniffled and teared up, grumbling, "Me and my clumsiness." buring her face into her hands.
"There there, Serena. It's not the end of the world." Mina soothed, though she was only acting the part, which wasn't helping.
Just before any of them could continue, all of them heard a loud clank from the back rooms where all the statues and coffins were in. This also made Serena stop her sobbing. "What was that?" she asked.
Deciding to investgate, all six women entered the room, looking around. Evelyn called out, "Hello?" but there was no answer, as Lita grabbed a torch. All six of them carefully looked around to see if there was anyone, before they heard another clank, startling them. Serena was freaking out already, as Raye and Lita crept closer to one of the coffins...only for a mummy to pop out unexpectedly! All of them screamed in fright, with Serena and Evelyn screaming the loudest.
They then calmed down as a man, named Jonathan, laughed as he sat up, and now the women all glared at him in annoyance.
"Hey! That was not nice!" Serena cried out in annoyance.
"Have you no respect for the dead?" Evelyn demanded, glaring at her older brother who was still laughing, as Lita placed the torch away.
"Of course I do!" Jonathan replied, smirking as he added, "But sometimes I'd rather like to join them."
"Well, I wish you would do it sooner rather than later before you ruin my career the way you've ruined yours." Evelyn scolded as she set the mummy back down before she slapped her brother on the face, ordering, "Now get out!"
Being drunk, Jonathan clumisly climbed out of the coffin, as he said, "My dear, sweet baby sister, I'll have you…know…that at this precise moment my career is on a high note." almost falling, while Serena and her friends glared at him.
"Baby sister?" Serena repeated, skeptical. "Funny, one would think that he's the youngest sibling." only to get whacked on the back of the head by Raye who softly told her to shush(mainly because she wasn't allowed to tell her to shut up). Though Lita, Mina, and Amy, who didn't have siblings like Serena did, all mentally agreed about Jonathan.
Evelyn begged to differ as well. "High note'? Ha! Jonathan, please, I'm really not in the mood for you." she grumbled, sitting on one of the statues.
"What happened?" Jonathan asked.
Serena, sheepish and guilty again, muttered, "Me being clumsy, I accidently caused both your sister and myself to make a mess in the library." then glared as the man looked as if he was about to laugh, "And it's not funny, don't laugh!"
"Yeah, because we have to help in cleaning up." Raye grunted in irritation.
"The Bembridge scholars have rejected my application form again. They say I don't have enough experience in the field." Evelyn again, feeling miserable.
Amy sighed, "I'm sorry to hear that."
"Yeah, that's just so unfair." Mina agreed.
Jonathan, seeing how miserable his sister looked, went up to her, muttering with a comforting smile, "You'll always have me, old mum." which made Evelyn feel a little bit better as she smiled as well. "Besides, I have just the thing to cheer you up." He stood and moved back to the coffin, looking through the bones for something, which made Serena and the others cringe at this.
Rolling her eyes, Evelyn grumbled, "Oh, no, Jonathan, not another worthless trinket. If I have to take one more piece of junk to the curator to try and..." but she trailled off as her brother showed her something unusual. Hearing this caught Serena and the others' attentions as they went up closer, to see that it was an unusual little box.
"Where did you get this?" Evelyn asked, taking the box and examined it, stunned and curious.
"That's the weirdest little black box out I've ever seen." Serena admitted.
"Where did you get it?" Raye asked to Jonathan who replied(though he was lying, but they didn't notice), "In a dig down in Thebes. My whole live I've never found anything, Evy. Please, tell me I've found something."
Evelyn, or Evy, continuing to examin it, did something unexpectedly and twisted it, causing it to open, revealing a folded up piece of paper inside of it. "Jonathan," Evy grinned, excitement growing.
"Yes?"
"I think you've found something."
The Sailor Scouts took a closer look, and Serena quirked an eyebrow at what the paper had on it. "A weird map?"
Meanwhile, Jessie, James and Meowth, peaking through an opened window listening in to what Serena and her friends were doing, now had their curiousities peeped as they heard what Serena just said.
Yup, once again, they followed her since they still wanted to get her to tell her about Ash and Pikachu's latest adventures, unaware(as usual), that she's actually their mot recent enemy-Sailor Moon.
"Looks like the teenaged twerp's up to discoveries again." Jessie commented.
"Of course they found something. That's what twerps do!" James pointed out.
"Now all we do is sneak in and take a closer peak." Meowth plotted.
Jessie smiled evilly, "Who needs to follow the twerp and Pikachu when the teenaged twerp can show us other interesting ideas?"
At yet another unexpected moment, her Wobbuffect comes out of it's Pokeball, saying, "Wobbuffect!". Unfortunately, due to them all standing crowded on the ladder they stole to go up to the window outside of the library, the blue Pokemon's weight was too much for the ladder to handle. Because it began to creak, much to Team Rocket's startlement, before they looked down, seeing their support starting to break.
Not moving, they tried to stay still. But that didn't help, because it snapped, and all four of them screamed as they comically fell to the ground with a comical crash, dust flying everywhere. People who witnessed this, just gasped at the ridiculous sight, before walking away to continue their daily route.
Grumbling, Meowth muttered, "I guess we're cursed with karma when it comes to twerps." while James twitched painfully, and Jessie, in irritation, recalled Wobbuffect back into it's Pokeball again.
"We always suffer with cursed bad luck." James added, before sighing.
For those who have no idea about this, please read "Sailor Moon Continuum" parts 1 and 2, so that this story will make sense for you guys.
To give you guys a hint, I didn't luck the Pokemon Black and White series, so I made up my own, with, well, if you read my continuum, you'll see what I mean.
Anyway, look forward to the next chapter, and please review. Reviews are nice.
