Prologue: Part 2 of 3: The Ones Who Hold the Ultimate Magic: United We Stand, Divided We Fall!
"Bye, Mom! I'm heading off to work with my friends!" Zoey Hanson called out cheerfully as she stepped out from her home.
The reddish-pink haired girl wore a snazzy pink jacket with a yellow long sleeve shirt, blue shorts, and blue shoes with kittens on it. Those shoes, in particular, are one of the types that can transform into rollar skates… Yeah, you know the ones.
"Okay!" Zoey grinned as she attached the wheels to the shoes and began to- you guessed it- skate. "Time to head to Café Mew Mew!" She had been prepared for this day; it was the third anniversary of Café Mew Mew's grand opening, and she forced herself to wake up exceptionally early… Ah, lovely dedication; I wonder why youth these days lack any such thing?
The others Mew Mews, as you can imagine, also went to Café Mew Mew.
Zoey closed her eyes and smiled, not paying attention to the road. Fortunate, there had been no Cyniclon or Predisite attacks for a whole month; that's a milestone!
"Everything's so calm today. That pervert Dren and his goons haven't attacked Earth for a while. Sure, there are other monsters that attack the world, but luckily, we're not the only magical girls on duty!" She exposited to the air, galloping down the road at a pleasant pace. Then, out of nowhere, she bumped into someone.
It didn't take much to startle Zoey. "Ahhhhh!" her eyes shot open as she was thrown to the ground. She rubbed her head and got up, wondering what in the world happened. When her vision regained orientation, she saw a red haired girl wearing a white shirt, black pants, and red shoes… Oh, and she also has a wooden sword on her hip.
The mysterious woman turned to the young Mew. "Hey! Watch where you're going, you klutz!" She growled. She was seriously… serious.
The heroine noticed the ferocity in her voice, thus causing her to apologize profusely. "Oh! I'm sorry!" Zoey bowed in apology. She awkwardly stepped back a little.
That was when the mysterious girl caught sight of a looming object."Huh?" The red-haired girl gasped at the truck heading right towards Zoey. "Watch out!"
Zoey turned around and suddenly grew pale. The truck was speeding on down the road, and even if the bad driver managed to see her, it was far too late to press down on the brakes. Zoey knew that she couldn't use her cat-like reflexes in front of this girl, but before she could even say her prayers, a pink blur appeared and managed to get her out of harms way.
'Am… Am I alive?' Zoey thought as she opened her eyes, now laying eyes on a pink haired woman with quite the beautiful body. Miss Pretty Lady wore a green schoolgirl's uniform, with a rosary attached to a choker around her neck.
"That was a close one, Moka!" A boy shouted, running up to the savior. Much like the girl, he wore a green male school uniform with brown pants. With just a glance, it is easy to tell that they were clearly about the same age.
Moka put Zoey down. "T-Thanks." Zoey smiled meekly. It certainly wasn't everyday that someone actually saved her tail.
"Don't mention it. Next time be more careful." Moka smiled, placing a hand on her hip. What a peculiar girl, eh?
With a bow, Zoey smiled at her savior, and quickly checked her watch. Once she saw the beautiful workmanship of the clock hand spelling doom for her, she quickly panicked... Er, in other words… "Oh no, Look at the time! Later!" The girl waved as she quickly ran away from the strange girl and boy. As diligent as a cat, she skated as fast as she could to Café Mew Mew.
The red-haired girl watched Zoey skate off. "What a nice kid…"
10 minutes later, she finally arrived at Café Mew Mew.
"Whew! Made it!" Zoey sighed in relief. It would take more than a simple encounter with a truck to slow her down!
Mini Mew popped out from a doorway. "You sure did, Zoey!" He said happily.
"Thanks, Mini Mew." Zoey smiled at her friend.
Much like how Mini Mew did, Zoey soon encountered plenty of greetings from every direction. "Zoey!" A bountiful shout was heard. She turned to see her friends and fellow Mew Mews walking up to her.
Corina wore her standard blue rich girl clothes and black shoes; Bridget wore her yellow short sleeve shirt, blue shorts, and red shoes; Kikki wore her standard yellow Chinese clothes and shoes; and Renee wore her purple shirt and black shorts and shoes.
"Glad you're on time, Zoey." Corina smirked; snobbish as usual.
"Thanks Corina. I sure don't want to miss the 3rd anniversary of Café Mew Mew's grand opening." Zoey closed her eyes and smiled.
"Yeah! It's gonna be awesome!" Kikki smiled cheerfully, a slight chuckle escaping her already cute face.
"But it's odd to celebrate during this crisis…" Bridget looked at her friends with the most serious of looks she could actually pull off.
"What do you mean, Bridget?" Mini Mew asked confusedly, though it was hard to tell, given no expressions and all.
"Didn't you hear the news? A few Magical girls were missing 2 days ago…" Renee told him.
Zoey, who was apparently drinking some water from a random cup, immediately spat out the contents from her mouth. "You serious?"
Bridget looked worried."Yeah… Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts; Wedding Peach and the Love Angels; Cure White and Cure Black, Corrector Yui, Nurse Angel Ririka… they were among the missing. Something must have happened to them."
Kikki pounded her fist in her palm. "Could the Cyniclons be behind this?"
"No, the Cyniclons haven't heard about those Magical girls, yet they were well kno-… Hm?" Renee quickly interrupted herself after hearing a strange noise. Her body grew tense, and she instinctively entered a battle stance.
"What's wrong, Renee…?" Corina followed suit as she felt what her idol was also feeling. The rest of the Mew Mews did the same and narrowed their eyes on some trees. Suddenly, eight teenage girls, some slightly older than our five heroines, dropped down in front of them. They wore… sailor fukus?
This sudden entrance made Kikki suspiciously drool. "No way… It's the Sailor Scouts!"
"C-Can we help you?" Bridget asked uneasily. The Sailor Scouts got out their weapons in response.
The leader of the Sailor Scouts, the grand woman who ended up falling to the dark lady of the last chapter, looked at our Heroines with a strange gaze. "I am Sailor Moon, leader of the Sailor Scouts…" Nothing about the simple phrase sounded correct. The cold glares the Mew Mews were receiving were considerable.
Without taking a breath, Sailor Moon continued. "Zoey Hanson… Corina Bucksworth… Bridget Verdant… Kikki Benjamin… Renee Roberts… Or should I say, the Mew Mews… We have come to take away your magic."
The Mew Mews gasped in shock. "H-How do you know who we are?" Zoey gulped.
Her rich-yet-loyal friend nodded vigorously. "Yeah! Isn't there a rule or something to keep the magical girls' secret identities, well, a secret till you figure it out?" Corina did not like this one bit.
Sailor Moon smirked. "That doesn't matter. Our Mistress has told us that you five hold the Ultimate Magic, a magic considered to be the most powerful in the universe."
Renee raised an eyebrow. "And who is this Mistress?" She attempted to get her hand on her Power Pendant. Suddenly, two of the Sailors let out their attacks and almost hit our favorite half-animal heroines.
"Whoa! That was close!" Kikki gawked as the Mew Mews begin to transform into their Mew forms.
'You must free them from her spell…'
A voice ringed in Zoey's head. "W-Who's there?"
'I will tell you later… Right now, she must not be allowed to have your Ultimate Magic.'
Mars launched a Mars Flame Sniper at Bridget; she put up a water barrier around her and blocked the attack.
"Why are you doing this?! I thought you fight for justice and love!" Bridget demanded.
The Scouts responded with more attacks, and the Mew Mews swiftly dodged them. But the Scouts didn't cease firing.
Saturn managed to rush at Renee, catching her by surprise, and whammed her with her Glaive. "Renee!" Corina cried as Uranus rammed into her and punched her into the ground.
Kikki dodged every swipe from Saturn's glaive.
Bridget put up her water barrier and blocked most of the Scouts' attacks.
'This is bad! The Sailor Scouts outnumber us 9 to 5! If only someone would help us!' Zoey thought despairingly before she was knocked to the ground by Sailor Moon.
"Don't worry, it will all be over soon… Heheh…" Sailor Moon smirked. "Once our Mistress absorbs the magic of you and all of your friends' magic, you will just be normal girls, powerless to stop our Mistress from ruling the universe! Now for the curtain call…" Sailor Moon was about to unleash her attack on Zoey.
'I guess… this is it… Stripped of my powers while some unknown enemy takes over the universe… And I will probably die too… Elliot… I…I…'
"Oh no you don't!" A voice called out, right as a red blur hit Sailor Moon. The possessed girl tumbled to the ground.
Suddenly, a pink blur unleashed an earthquake attack on the Scouts. It was a bold move, but it was fortunately effective in the end, with the Sailor Scouts being thrown off their victims.
"What on earth?" Corina muttered as she got up. Renee also stood and turned around to see a red haired girl helping Zoey up.
Zoey opened her eyes. "I'm… still alive?"
The girl looked down at the fallen Mew. "Hey, are you alright?"
Zoey's eyes widened. "You… You're the girl I bumped into from before."
The girl grew perplexed. "Have we met before?" she asked, clearly confused.
"Um… No! We haven't! What's your name?" Zoey asked politely.
Her confusion had finally lifted."Me?" She asked, grinning and giving her a thumbs up. "I'm Ryoko Mitsurgi, the K-Fight Champion of Daimon High!"
As Ryoko was busy introducing herself, another scene was unfolding. "Are you okay?" The pink haired girl from before asked as she helped Kikki up. The young Mew nodded, but due to fatigue, she did not get the chance to ask the looming question: Who was this mysterious vixen?
Luckily, the pink-haired girl knew exactly what Kikki was thinking. "My name is Moka Akashiya." Moka closed her eyes and smiled. As this paticular action was performed, a smaller voice came from behind.
"That was a close one, Moka!" The boy from before commented as he ran up to the two. Déjà vu much?
The woman turned to that familiar voice. "It was no problem, Tsukune." Moka said cheerfully, before facing the Scouts with a cold glare of justice. Ryoko, standing proud and strong, did just the same.
"Why are you attacking those girls?" Ryoko demanded as she unsheathed her wooden sword and pointed it at the Scouts.
Sailor Moon growled. 'They're not supposed to be here… The Mistress will be very unpleased if those normal people interfere with our taking of the Mews' Ultimate Magic!'
"We have come to take away the Mew Mews' Ultimate Magic for our Mistress. Get in our way and we will destroy you!" Sailor Moon shouted, her fellow Scouts standing beside her, albeit weakly.
This certainly caused quite the stir within our surprise Heroines. "Magic…?" Moka blinked.
"Oh crap!" Ryoko gulped. "Those are magical girls! And that must be the Mew Mews they are attacking! Even with 7 of us, we're still screwed!"
Unexpectedly, as though the air in the room suddenly screeched to a complete halt, a voice rang loud and clear. "And help is on the way to even the odds…." Suddenly, black magic, a lightning bolt, and peculiar long purple hair appeared, attacking the scouts and knocking them back a little.
Everyone was understandably confused. "Huh?" Thank you, Moka.
"Over there!" Tsukune pointed to where the attacks came from. They saw a girl who sported beautiful, long purple hair, wearing a red school uniform to complete her appeareance. Close behind her is another girl with blond hair, who was wearing a white schoolgirl's uniform, and holding a staff with a skull on top. Finally, the third girl had yellow hair tied in ponytails, and she wore red and black clothes that resembled the attire of Xiamou (of Namco X Capcom fame). In her hands is a mighty scythe that reached Café Mew Mew's roof, just to complete the odd image.
All three seemed to be completely amused by all of this. "Magical girls attacking fellow magical girls? Something is amiss in the universe we live in." The purple haired girl stated as the three of them leaped down in front of the heroes.
Getting enough of all the appearances on this special day, Corina tried to simmer down her confusion. "Who are you?" she asked.
The purple haired girl smiled as she brushes her hair in a sexy way. "My name is Miyabi Tsukuyomi of Gokoh Academy High School."
The blond-haired girl with the skull wand pointed her… wand at the Sailor Scouts. "I'm Risa Fukuyama of the Fukuyama Family, and I will not let you harm my idols, the Mew Mews!"
Finally, the pig-tailed blond haired girl swung her scythe carefully, not hitting her two comrades… and she slammed it down hard. "I am Fate Testarossa, another Magical girl, and I will not let other magical girls harm magical girls!"
This certainly took the Mew Mews by surprise. "W-Wow…" Bridget gasped in awe.
Zoey smiled in complete relief; these six people had come to help them, and now the odds were in their favor!
Zoey got up, her fellow Mew Mews and their new comrades standing beside her. "Alright Sailor Scouts! Whoever this Mistress is, she won't get away with whatever she's doing!" With that, she pointed her Rose Bell at the Sailor Scouts, and with a voice that sounded like a war cry, she shouted: "And I will make it my mission to free you from her spell!"
Next time: Prologue Part 3 of 3: The Mistress Appears! Unlocking the Ultimate Magic!
A/N: Here are some reasons why Moka and Tsukune's friends didn't appear in both the original fanfic and this remake, it's because I liked Moka ever since I first heard of her and used her in some of my fanfics, so sorry if the rest of the Newspaper Club didn't make it into this fanfic as well as the original. See you next time, baby.
