Sailor Moon: The Last Werewolf
BY Dragonfang33
Part II
First Day
Location: Lita's Apartment, a few minutes later
Lita continued to flip through the Tome of the Moon, trying to decipher what powers she retained in her Human form. She found the book rather strange, it was written in an ancient language that had long since died out, yet for some reason she was able to read it perfectly.
"Hmmm," Lita said, to herself, "apparently I can summon my claws and fangs at will." Lita place the crumbling ancient text on her coffee table, and held her hands out in front of her. She began picturing her claws in her head, blood red, and razor sharp, and just like the previous night, Lita watched as her fingernails exploded, and were replaced by ten razor sharp, blood red claws.
"Strange," Lita said, to herself, as she inspected her new claws, "it didn't hurt, last night I felt as though my fingers were going to explode." Slowly she willed her claws to retract, and instantly new fingernails grew where her claws had once been. Lita repeated the same process at least a dozen times, before attempting to summon just one of her claws till at last she felt she could do it in her sleep.
"I guess I won't need knives anymore when I'm cooking," Lita said, with a smile. She then turned her attention to her fangs. Rushing to the bathroom, Lita looked over her face in the mirror, and just like her claws, she began picturing her fangs in her head, and sure enough her teeth began to lengthen and sharpen.
"Okay," Lita said, herself, as she willed her fangs to retract, "I wonder if I've retained any of my Werewolf strength?" Lita made her way back to her living room, breathing in, she put her hands under her sofa and sure enough she lifted it as though it was paper.
"I guess cleaning will be a lot easier," Lita said, as she tossed the sofa back and forth, between her hands for a few moments, before setting it back down.
"Okay," Lita said, as she resumed her study of the book, "It says I've retained my speed, agility, and heightened senses as well," it was then Lita came across a passage in the book, it was about her sight and night vision. Her vision, while still better then a normal Human's was effectively cut in half, if she wanted to use her Wolf vision, as well as being able to see in the dark, she had to summon her Wolf Eyes. It was at that moment, Lita's heightened hearing picked up the sounds of footsteps coming up the stairs. Quickly Lita placed the crumbling tome in her book bag, just as she placed the book in her bag, the door open.
"Hay Lita," a young girl said, entering the apartment, followed by three other girls. The first girl had blonde hair done up in a style that resembled a pair of meatballs, at her side was a small child, with pink hair done up in a style similar to her own, and a sleek black cat was cradled in her arm. One of the two girls with them also with blonde hair, and another with hair that was almost sea blue.
"Oh hay guys," Lita replied, "you're early."
"I know," Mina replied, "but Amy found something interesting in today's newspaper." When Amy placed the newspaper on the table, Lita nearly had a heart attack. There on the front page was a photo of the three Vampires she'd killed the previous night.
'Oh great,' Lita thought to herself, as beads of sweat began to roll down her forehead, 'way to keep the fact you're a Werewolf secret Lita, your little Blood Rage attack last night made the papers.'
"Apparently," Amy said, pointing to the picture, "they were attacked by some kind of wild animal, tore their throats out completely. Could be our new enemy, but I've never heard of the Negaverse going that far. What do you think Lita?"
"Uh," Lita said, trying to figure out an excuse with out blowing her secret, "I wouldn't know anything about it, besides I doubt it has anything to do with our new enemy."
"How would you know," Serena asked, Lita didn't listen, she looked down at her left hand, already her claws had begun to sprout.
"Say," Lita said, getting up, and hiding her left hand behind her back, "why don't we get going, I mean we don't want to be late for school."
"Lita," Mina replied, "School doesn't start for another hour, don't you want to go out and see if we can find this creature?"
"No," Lita replied, smiling, "not interested, besides I'm sure that creature is miles away from here. So why don't you guys go on, and I'll catch up with you later."
"Are you feeling okay Lita?" Serena asked, with a concerned look to her face, "You're acting strangely."
"I'm fine Serena," Lita replied, "I uh just didn't sleep well last night." Serena was about to reply, when she took notice of the clock, it was ten minutes to 7:00.
"OH GOD I'M GOING TO BE LATE AGAIN," Serena shouted, as she leapt into the air, grabbing Rini and the others by their collars. Once Lita was sure they were she took a look at her left hand, fortunately her claws had retracted.
"That was too close," Lita said, as she grabbed her book bag, and made her way out of the door.
Location: Jubban District, Tokyo, a few moments later
It was Lita's first time out in broad daylight since her transformation. She was completely lost in thought as she began exploring her heightened senses. The colors that filled the city seemed brighter, the smells of the budding cherry blossoms seemed stronger, and she could even hear sounds that Humans couldn't normally hear, including the sounds of buildings settling, and faint whispers under people's breath.
"Hay Lita," the black cat in Serena's arms shouted, Lita slowly snapped out of her daydream.
"Yes Luna," Lita replied.
"I was wondering," Luna continued, "did you get a dog yesterday?" Lita's eyes almost leapt out of her head.
"Uh no Luna," Lita replied, nervously, "what ever gave you that idea?"
"Well," Luna continued, "I noticed your apartment smelled like a dog had gotten loose."
"Oh um," Lita said, trying to figure out an excuse, "it's my neighbor's little poodle, he got out again," it was then Lita remembered the book in her book bag, "you guys go on ahead, I've got a quick errand to run so I'll meet you guys at school." Before any of the others could form a reply, Lita had bolted down a near by alley.
Location: NegaMoon Starship, Avenging Wrath, above down town Tokyo
"What are you doing," Prisma said, as she took another bite of the cake she was eating. The brown haired woman in front of her had her face covered with pealed mangos.
"I'm just trying some out some of these human beauty masks and potions," Avery replied, "you know the ones that are suppose to make men flock to me." But before either of them could continue their conversation, a young man with fiery red hair appeared before them.
"Now, now girls try and be nice," the man shouted, "I've pinpointed the next Crystal Point."it's a small shop just outside of down town, should be easy considering it's owned by someone who's over 100 years old."
"Oh let me handle this one Rubius," Avery said, pleading, "I promise I'll make you proud."
"Already ahead of you sister," Prisma replied, leaping through one of the four mirrors that circled the room.
Location: Supernatural R Us
"It's done De Gara," the kid with swirlly glasses said, putting the broom down, "now can I show you what I came up with."
"Make it quick Melvin," De Gara said, as he continued flipping through his comic book, "you know I'm starting to think about charging you for all the doors and windows you've broken."
"Come on," Melvin replied, "It's only been six or eight times."
"A week," De Gara said, without even taking his eyes out of his book, "now what do you have for me this time?"
"Oh right," Melvin said, digging through the brown bag attached to the rear of his bike, "here." He placed three hand grenades on De Gara's garbage covered desk.
"My dad brought these home form work," Melvin explained, "there called Flame Grenades, apparently the boys in the military thought hand grenades capable of generating raw fire were too expensive, thought you might like to use them to char broil a couple of Vamps tonight."
"Whatever," De Gara replied, as he put his comic on his desk, before grabbing another. Just as he put his book to his face, the door to the shop swung open.
"Speak of the devil," De Gara said, without even taking his face from the book, "so that's what you look like in Human form." Lita didn't even bother replying.
"Uh," Lita said, "I don't know what your talking about," it was then she took notice of Melvin, "Melvin what are you doing here?"
"Believe or not, I'm Alex's assistant," Melvin replied, "also drop the act, we both know you're a Werewolf."
"Uh," Lita said, fearing that her secret had truly been revealed, "I don't know what you guys are talking about? There's no such thing as Werewolves." Though Lita didn't realize that in her race to come up with an excuse, her tail had sprouted.
"Drop the act," De Gara added, "one last thing you might not want to go out with THAT sticking out." Lita finally looked behind her; indeed she had sprouted her tail.
"Nice going Lita," Lita said to herself.
"Now please close the door," De Gara said, "you're letting the heat out."
"Oh sorry," Lita said, as she slammed the door, however she failed to notice that her tail was in the way.
"YEEEEEOWWWWCH," Lita shouted, as the door slammed shut, catching her tail in the door hinge. As she struggled to pull her tail free, Melvin couldn't help but break out laughing, at Lita's misfortune.
"You want to handle this one or should I?" Melvin asked, barely able to hold his laughter in.
"I helped the last one," De Gara said, without even looking up, "it's your turn."
"What," Melvin shouted, "I handled the last one it's your turn boss."
"No," De Gara replied, "it's your turn." As the two men continued their argument, Lita struggled to pull her tail out of the door.
"I don't mean to interrupt," Lita shouted, "BUT COULD ONE OF YOU GUYS HELP ME." But she still couldn't get their attention.
"Okay Rock Paper Scissors," Melvin said, but before he could even react, he found one of De Gara's pistols in his face.
"Just do it," De Gara said, without even looking at him, "Why do we always have this argument when you know I'm going to win?"
"I don't know boss," Melvin replied, "but I still say it's cheating to pull a gun on me every time." Hanging his head Melvin made his over to Lita, who was still struggling to get her tail loose. Slowly Melvin turned the door knob, and opened the door, allowing Lita to pull her tail out.
"You know something Lita," Melvin said, sarcastically, "after this little incident; I now know you've got to be the worst Werewolf on the planet."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?" Lita snarled, summoning her claws.
"He means," De Gara continued, "that most Werewolves don't go around getting their tails caught in doors." Lita silently counted to ten to keep from slicing De Gara in half. It was at that moment she remembered the Tome of the Moon.
"I nearly forgot why I came here," Lita said, trying to calm down, "I wanted to return your book." She reached into her book bag, and pulled the crumbling text out, and slammed it on De Gara's desk. Still De Gara didn't flinch.
"WILL YOU PUT THAT DOWN," Lita snarled, grabbing De Gara's book, but before she could, she found one of De Gara's .45 caliber hand guns pointing at her heart.
"Touch those," De Gara snarled, without even looking at her, "and die." he finally put the book down, "I hate those comics, they never get the eyes right."
"THEN WHY DO YOU HAVE A STACK WITH YOU?" Lita asked, angrily, but De Gara wasn't paying attention.
"What and you Sailor Scouts don't love seeing yourself in comics," De Gara asked, as he grabbed another comic. Lita and Melvin looked at De Gara in shock.
"Wait a minute you're a Sailor Scout," Melvin asked, confused, "and a Werewolf?"
"I don't know what you guys are talking about," Lita replied, smiling, "I mean I admit you guys caught me on the whole Werewolf thing, but I'm not a Sailor Scout."
"Drop the act," De Gara said, pulling a newspaper from out from underneath his desk, and slammed it on the desk, on the front page was a photograph of the Sailor Scouts, "I thought it was rather obvious." Melvin took a quick look at it.
"You know he's right," Melvin said, after putting two and two together, "you're Sailor Jupiter aren't you Lita."
"Okay," Lita said, trying to form an excuse, "you guys figured out who I am, so how did you know?"
"Well one," De Gara replied, "you guys don't wear masks, and two Melvin here brought me a copy of the latest year book."
"Look," Lita pleaded, "you can't tell anyone, I mean we've got powerful enemies and things, and I above all don't want my friends knowing I'm a Werewolf." It was at that moment Lita's heightened sense of smell picked up something strange, it was the smell of rotten fruit. It was at that moment three women entered the store.
"Excuse me," Prisma asked, gagging at the sight of the gothic swords, guns, and comics, "we're looking for the owner of this tacky little shop?" By now Lita had extended her claws and fangs and looked ready to fully transform.
"Relax," De Gara said, without even looking up, "I'll handle them." He put down his book, got up and grabbed his trench coat.
"Sorry we don't open till 11," De Gara said, "if you want to use the bath room it's in the back." Avrey, Prisma, and Avocado looked at De Gara with confused looks to their faces.
"Um where's the owner of this tacky little shop?" Avery asked.
"I am the owner," De Gara replied. The Nega Moon Warriors couldn't help but laugh, Rubius had just told them that the owner of this little shop was a decrepit old man, De Gara didn't look a day over 20.
"Pity," Prisma said, "you're kind of cute for someone who's supposed to be 100 years old. Either way, we're taking this shop in the name of the NegaMoon." Lita was just about ready to strike, when De Gara held her back.
"I said," De Gara snarled, "I'll handle this myself."
"You don't," Lita said, trying to hold her transformation in, "understand they're."
"I said I'll handle it," De Gara shouted. As Avery and Prisma began bragging about their plan to take over the crystal point, De Gara merely began looking over the various swords on the wall.
"Let's see," De Gara said, as he grabbed a blade shaped like a bat's wing, "Sword used by a rebel Dark Knight to hold back a Demonic horde," he placed the sword back on the wall, "not today," he took another, "Let's see enchanted Katana, nope," he placed the second sword back on the wall. At last he came to one.
"Regular Katana," De Gara said, without even looking at Avery and Prisma, "haven't used it in a while."
"Hay are you even listening to us," Prisma shouted, trying to get De Gara's attention.
"Let's see," De Gara said, completely ignoring her, as he placed his two .45 caliber hand guns back on the shelf, he then lifted two fully automatic hand guns from the shelf, "these will do nicely." He then pushed his way past both Avery and Prisma, with out even glancing.
"I HATE IT WHEN MEN DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO ME," Avery shouted, as she drew her whip, and hurled it. De Gara didn't even flinch, as he dodged Avery's strike.
"One moment please," De Gara said, without even looking at them, he placed a quarter in the large jukebox near the door, and began flipping through the selection, "Ah Hammerfall's Heeding the Call, my favorite." He pressed the A5 button, but nothing happened.
"Got get this thing fixed," De Gara said, as he pounded on the jukebox, finally the music began to play, "Now, LET'S ROCK." By now Avery and Prisma had had enough of De Gara's cocky attitude.
"WHY YOU ARAGENT LITTLE," Prisma shouted as she discharged her trademark Dark Lightning. De Gara didn't even look behind him, he through his sword in the air, and leapt over the trio, while putting on his trench coat. Once he landed, De Gara held out his left hand and caught his sword. Avery once again tried to strike the warrior with her whip, but De Gara once again managed to dodge and just as Avery's whip came within range, he wrapped it around his sword, and pulled it right out of her hand. De Gara then charged his left hand with a ball of bright red energy, and hurled it Avery, knocking her right out one of the near by windows.
Prisma tried to strike the young warrior from behind, however before Prisma could even strike, De Gara spun kicked her in the stomach knocking her out the very same window as Avery. De Gara then turned his attention to Avocado. De Gara simply walked up to her and smiled, before knocking her through the door.
"Is that all?" De Gara asked, as he made his way outside, "I haven't even broken a sweat yet." Avery and Prisma began to pick themselves up; their clothes were covered in mud from the puddle they'd both landed in.
"I thought Rubius said he was 100 years old," Avery said, "Since when do 100 year old men fight like lions?"
"I don't know," Prisma replied, "But we're not going to let him make fools of us. Droid Avocado, destroy him."
"Right," Avocado said, as she stood up she suddenly transformed into a creature that looked like a combination between a Human and a fruit salad.
"You've got to be kidding," De Gara said, barely able to hold his laughter in, "I was expecting a challenge."
"I'll give you a challenge," Avocado shouted, "AVOCADO BOMBS." She produced two large Avocadoes, and hurled them at De Gara, but before the two fruits could strike him, De Gara knocked both of them into the air, with his sword, where they exploded, shredding the shop's sign.
"Hay," De Gara shouted, "you ruined my sign, oh well I was thinking about changing the name anyway. I JUST HOPE YOU THREE HAVE ENOUGH TO COVER A NEW ONE." His teeth began to lengthen into fangs, and a series of jet black claws burst from his gloves. Though his eyes were covered by a pair of pitch black sunglasses, they began glowing ferial yellow. De Gara snarled like a ravenous wolf as he lunged at Avocado. The Nega Moon monster barely had time to move out of the way, before De Gara's claws sliced into her back, sending her careening into a wall.
"Who's next," De Gara snarled, turning to face Avery and Prisma.
"Retreat," Prisma finally shouted, before turning to face De Gara, "you'll pay for this." The trio proceeded to vanish into thin air.
"That wasn't much fun," De Gara said, cracking his neck, "I didn't even break a sweat." He then turned his attention back to Lita, who was now standing in the door way.
"Sorry for the interruption," De Gara said, "Where were we? Oh yes, we were introducing ourselves. Name's Alexander De Gara, but you can call me Alex or De Gara."
"Um," Lita said, extending her hand, "Lita Kino, I guess you can also call me Blood Moon when I'm in Wolf form. Say you're good the Sailor Scouts could use someone like you."
"Sorry Lightning bolt," De Gara said, as he made his way back to his desk, "With the exception of Mr. Can't Use the Front Door here," he pointed to Melvin, "I work alone. So thanks for coming, and we'll continue this later." Lita couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Excuse me," Lita replied, "you beat those Nega Monsters like they were nothing, the Scouts could use an ally like you and you're turning your back on the planet."
"Let's see here," De Gara replied, running through an outdated scheduling book, "12:45 take lunch time nap, 1:15 clear out store room, 1:30-3:00 watch Simpsons Marathon, I can't cancel that again, 3:00-5:00 kill monsters infesting local book shop, 5:15 Jazzercise, sorry I'm booked, also if you don't want to be late for school, I suggest you get lost." Lita didn't even say anything as she stormed her way to the door. But it was clear that she wasn't at all happy with De Gara's comments.
"At least the Scouts care about this planet," Lita said, "which is more then I can say for you," however before she could even finish her statement. Her heightened hearing picked up the sound of the school bell ringing.
"OH GREAT NOW I'M LATE," Lita shouted, as she bolted down the road toward the school.
Location: Jubban Middle School
Lita finally arrived at the Middle School with a good 12 minutes left before the tardy bell rang. To her amazement, she'd covered nearly ten city blocks in the space of a few minutes, and she wasn't even out of breath.
"Wow," Lita said, under her breath still, finding hard to believe that she'd beaten Serena to class with time to spare, "I guess being a Werewolf won't be so bad after all. I don't think I'll ever have to worry about being late for school again." As Lita proceeded to make her way into the building, she couldn't help but smile as her heightened hearing picked up the sounds of Serena screaming when she realized she was once again going to be late.
Lita made her way to Mrs. Haruna's classroom and took her seat just as the tardy bell went off.
"Okay," Mrs. Haruna said, pulling out her attendance book, "I see everyone's here except Serena." Almost as if on queue, Serena came stumbling into the classroom.
"Sorry I'm Late Mrs. H." Serena said, as she tripped over the trashcan, and tumbled to the ground, "I was up all night studying, and my eyes got all puffy and I couldn't see my alarm clock."
"Save the excuse Serena," Mrs. Haruna replied, "I decided to give you all a free study period today."
"Uh," Serena said, with a confused look to her face, as she watched Mrs. Haruna make her way out of the classroom, "why's she so happy, must have a hot date tonight."
As the other students settled into the routine they normally had when ever they had a free period, which was goofing off, Lita sat at her desk with her face buried in her notebook. On the blank sheet of paper she began making out a list of her Werewolf abilities, and setting some ground rules for the use of her new powers.
Begin Thoughts
'1. I can transform into my wolf,' she stooped in mid-sentence, remembering the name she'd thought up the night before, Lita quickly blotted out the word wolf, 'Blood Moon when every I want, especially when I get angry, scared, or excited. I also have to find out what it is about the Full Moon that causes me to transform as well, maybe there's a way I can stop from transforming when a Full Moon is out'
'2. I should never voluntarily transform unless I'm training or have no choice, or there's a full moon. Especially when I'm Sailor Jupiter, the last thing I need are my friends thinking I'm the enemy.'
'3. I'm now faster, stronger, and more agile then anyone in school. I have to remember not to show off during gym. I don't want people thinking I'm some kind of freak by lifting a ton with one finger.'
'4. I can summon my claws, fangs,' her face began to turn red with embarrassment as she wrote the next line, 'and apparently my tail when ever I want while I'm in Human form. Unless there is no other option, I really shouldn't use either my claws or fangs when fighting this new enemy.'
'5. MOST IMPORTANTLY: I need to learn all I can about Werewolves, especially if I can change anyone else into a Werewolf. Until I know that I should be careful not to bite or scratch anyone when I'm Blood Moon if I can avoid it, I also should find out if my blood can transmit my Lycanthropy.'
End Thoughts
"HAY LITA," Serena shouted, snapping Lita out of thoughts, "What are you doing?"
"Uh," Lita replied, "nothing, so what do you want Serena?"
"I have a favor to ask," Serena said, "You see I made plans with Mina this afternoon, and my parents want me to take Rini to a Curry Cooking Party this afternoon. So I was wondering maybe, if you're not doing anything. Could you take Rini to the Curry Cooking Party, pretty please?" Lita knew that tone in Serena's voice all too well; it was her "putting my responsibilities on someone else" voice.
"Jee," Lita replied, "I'd like to but I uh kind of have plans of my own." Serena's eyes went puppy dog like, and Lita knew that she'd been beaten.
"Okay," Lita replied, smiling, "I'll take her." At that moment her heightened hearing picked up the sounds of Mrs. Haruna storming down the hallway, madder then a hornet. A few minutes later Mrs. Haruna stormed into the door, her eyes were alight with fury.
"EVERYONE SIT DOWN AND GET YOUR BOOKS," Mrs. Haruna shouted, catching everyone off guard, "TURN TO THE POEM I ASKED YOU ALL TO READ FOR TODAY AND YOU BETTER BE READY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS."
Location: Just outside of Jubban Middle School, a few hours later
"Man was Mrs. H. ever mad," Serena said, holding her head down, "Her date must've canceled."
"Yeah," Amy replied, "I never heard her giving Quadruple Detentions before." At that moment, Rini suddenly appeared, and grabbed Serena's hand.
"There you are," Rini said, "you promised you'd take me to the Curry Party today."
"I'm sorry," Serena replied, "But I really don't feel well, but Lita will take you." Before either Amy or Lita could form a reply Serena had bolted down the street.
"Well come on," Rini said, "We've got to meet Darien."
Stay Tuned For Part III: Vampire
PS: The outline for this chapter was too long to put into one, so we decided to split it apart.
