The real connection

Chapter 3: Moon Crystal Power!

(Tristia closed the door behind her as Michelle sat down on the sofa clutching the newspaper cutting that Tristia brought her)

"Michelle what`s wrong?" Amara asked concerned glancing at the blue headed woman. Michelle held out a finger and wagged it at Amara

"I think she`s reading something" Tristia looked at the blonde headed female who was leaning against the doorframe. Amara crossed her arms in annoyance. Michelle finished reading the article then beckoned Amara over to her side

"Read this" she murmured. Amara looked over her partners shoulder and started to read the article

POLICEWOMAN IN SEVERE COMA

Alex Drake is critically ill in a coma after she was found lying unconscious by a ditch next to the barge "The Lady Di". Nobody was with her at the time and she was rushed straight to hospital. Earlier that day she was used in an attempt to arrest wanted criminal Arthur Layton who had taken an busker hostage and then tried to take Drakes younger daughter Molly Drake hostage but unsucceeded. If you have seen this man or anyone else please contact the police

"I found it while I was looking through some old papers" Tristia explained putting down her cup of tea. "I thought it might be helpful to us"

"Why?" Amara replied "It`s not like we know this woman. How is it going to help up find Serena and Darien?"

"It could be helpful" Michelle admitted "We could contact the next of kin and explain we have a similar situation with our two friends. Maybe they could give us some advice?"

"But on the other hand maybe they know nothing at all" Tristia explained "If this Alex is in a coma for as long as the paper says then maybe she might be in a coma for forever. But ill ring up the paper and ask to speak to the next of kin. If I get any other information ill let you know"

"Thanks Tristia" Michelle smiled "Ill let you out shall I"? As Michelle went to the door with Tristia Amara glanced once again at the notes Amy had left. She had left brief notes but all said the same thing. Until Serena and Darien awoke from their comas then there was nothing that the Sailor Scouts could do

"I don't know how getting in touch with this woman is going to do any good" Amara glowered as Michelle came back into the room

"Well we can try" Michelle replied "We can`t sit around here and do nothing Amara. We have to do something at least!"

(In London Serena had got up early and had crept downstairs as not to waken up Alex who was sound asleep on the sofa. She crept downstairs to Luigis where Luigi himself was busy pottering about the restaurant trying to clear up after the mess CID had made the day before)

"Luigi?" Serena said quietly walking up to the bar. Luigi turned around and nearly dropped a glass on the floor

"Oh Miss Serena you nearly killed me there!" the Italian waiter said "I thought it would be CID that would kill me but no it was nearly you. What are you doing up this early. Was Signoire Drake keeping you awake?"

Serena giggled "No" she replied "I just couldn't sleep that`s all. Plus I was here all night with Darien so I didn't get to sleep till pretty late"

"Ah" Luigi smiled "Is he how you say it "the one" he hummed to himself polishing a glass. Serena nodded and smiled to herself

"Yeah" she smiled "Me and Darien have been through so much together I don't know what life would be like if he wasn't here. He's like my other half my yin to his yang

"That sounds like Signor Hunt and Signoire Drake" Luigi replied laying a tablecloth on the table "Always bickering with one another but I know if one was to leave without the other, the other would grow depressed pretty quickly. I know these English people always too stubborn. But Luigi knows these things" he smiled pointing a finger to his forehead. Serena grinned and started to laugh

"You sound like my friend Mina" she replied "She's into romance too" she sighed. Luigi noticed the sigh and turned around to face the blonde headed girl

"You miss her?" he questioned Serena. Serena nodded

"Very much" she replied "But I'll be home one day and ill see her again. You mark my words. But that`s enough from me what about Alex and Gene" she grinned

"Ah" Luigi nodded and was about to speak when Alex emerged from the door at the top of Luigis leading to her flat dressed in her dressing gown

"Serena?" she said confused walking down the steps "What are you doing up at 7am?"

"I couldn't sleep Alex" Serena said confused "But Luigi has been keeping me entertained, telling me stories" she smiled

"Has he now" Alex replied glancing at Luigi who had a mysterious smile on his face

"Don`t mind me Signoire Drake Im happy to look after Serena" he grinned placing a tub of roses on one of the tables

"I better be going anyway Luigi" Serena got up off the barstool and landed on the floor "Do you mind if I take one of these roses to Darien?" she replied as she plucked one of the roses from the vase

"Do whatever you want" Luigi smiled as Serena followed Alex back up the stairs to her flat

"There's something very strange about that girl" Luigi mumbled as he continued to wipe tables and prepare for his restaurant to open later on that day

(Tristia picked up the phone and dialled a number, after a few moments passed a male voice answered the phone)

"Hello Evan White speaking" a smooth male voice replied "Who is this speaking"

"Hello Im Tristia Meiou" Tristia replied "Im ringing in account of your goddaughter. Alex Drake?" she murmured with an hint of tension to her voice

"The newspaper" Evan replied annoyed "How I wish I had never done that interview with them, I thought it might have given Alex some more coverage in finding Layton"

"No wait!" Tristia replied before Evan hung up "My two friends are in the same situation as Alex is". This got Evans attention and he stopped to let Tristia carry on "They got struck by a car and are now both in a coma similar to what your goddaughter is. I thought that if I contacted you then you could give me and my friends some more information". Tristia had decided not to say about Sailor Moon or the monster as she thought it might freak Evan out a little

"I see" Evan nodded slowly over the phone "That is similar yes. But until Alex comes out of her coma then there is nothing we can do. I guess the best thing would be is to just wait and hope your two friends recover. And if Alex does come out of her coma then ill be sure you let you know. Have you got your number?"

"Yeah" Tristia replied repeating her phone number over the phone

"Your Japanese!" Evan exclaimed "That`s quite impressive"

"Yeah" Tristia replied not really impressed "Now your number" she commanded. Evan repeated his phone number over the line and Tristia wrote it down

"I hope you find what you are looking for" Evan replied "Goodbye" and with that Evan put the phone down. Tristia sighed and turned to her side where Michelle and Amara stood

"We heard" Michelle sighed "I guess there`s nothing we can do until they come out from their comas"

"Not really" Amara smiled "We can still protect them from any monsters that may attack Tokyo. After all we are still the Sailor Scouts"

"Indeed" Michelle nodded with a smile "But first we need to tell the Inner Scouts the news. After all they will be expecting the news. Suddenly a beep came from Tristias communicator and she pulled it out from her pocket

"Hello!" she yelled "Anyone there

"It`s Mina!" Mina yelled as the screen continued to move "Amy contacted me and there`s another monster attack. Her and Raye are there already and me and Lita are about to just get there"

"On our way" Tristia replied as she switched it off

"Well?" Amara glanced at Tristia

"We need to transform" she replied "Another monster attack and the inners are in trouble. We need to get there straight away"

"Indeed" Michelle nodded as she and Amara got out their transformation pens and transformed into Sailors Neptune and Uranus

"You go" Tristia replied "Ill be there in a few minutes". Neptune and Uranus nodded and ran out of the house leaving Tristia standing there alone

LONDON ENGLAND

(Darien and Serena were walking down the street together towards the hairdressers where Serena was going to have her hair styled more 1980s. Darien had persuaded her to have her hair more loose over her shoulders as it wouldn't attract as much attention as it would in her meatballs)

""Darien will you come in the hairdressers with me" Serena pouted as she hung onto Dariens coat. Darien chuckled

"Sure i will" he smiled "But ill wait outside. Don`t want to give too much attention to myself"

"Aww ok" Serena pouted again but Darien knew that she was joking. They reached the hairdressers and Darien gave her a kiss on the cheek

"I know how much this will hurt you" he replied "But when we get home it won`t take long for them to grow back"

"Thanks Darien" Serena gave a small smile as she entered the hairdressers. A few people were mingling about as they were sweeping hair up and some were tending to their customers. A young girl stood at the desk with an hairstyle that looked the same as what Shaz had. Serena walked up to the desk startling the hairdresser a little

"Hey" Serena smiled "I booked an haircut yesterday well my friend did but its for me"

"Sure" the girl smiled "What name is it under?" as she flicked through a big thick black book

"Serena Tsukino" Serena replied. The girl flicked through the book until she got to the days date

"Serena, Serena" the girl murmured "Here you are" she replied "I think you might be a bit early so if you just wait over there and one of my colleagues will be here to help you" she pointed across to a chair

"Thanks very much" Serena replied as she walked across to the chair and sat down. After a few moments a man came across with a similar hairstyle as Chris had

"Hey I'm Gavin" he smiled very campily something that Serena noticed "Have you decided on a hairstyle yet?"

"Yeah I would like a short cut but then I would like it permed" Serena replied. She and Darien had decided that would be the easiest option regarding her meatballs

"Well if you would like to go to the washbasin over there then you can have it washed then we can get started on the styling" Gavin replied. Serena lifted her head over the washbasin and one of the ladies started to wash it. Nobody noticed the creepy look on the hairdresser at the counters face however

"Soon it will be time" she cackled. Suddenly there was a scream as she turned into a monster and started shooting at people. Some of the customers dived into the chairs and hid from the monster

"Darien!" Serena yelled as she ripped the towel from her head looking around for her guy

"I`m right here" Darien yelled running into the hairdressers

"I`m scared Darien" Serena wailed "How can I stop the monster if I can`t transform into Sailor Moon!. Wait" she replied as she gripped the rose she had got in Luigis "Darien" she hissed "Try this you might be able to transform with that"

"Ok" Darien nodded as he ran out of the hairdressers, A couple of minutes passed before he returned but transformed as Tuxedo Mask

"It worked!" Serena squeaked

"Who are you cape boy!" the monster exclaimed as he she ran forward towards Tuxedo Mask but he flipped over and landed on the other side of the room

"Serena" he hissed "See if you can transform. I mean if I could" he trailed off as he noticed the monster running towards him again

"But I can`t!" Serena wailed but as she gripped her skirt pocket her fingers skimmed across something in he pocket. When she got the offending item out she noticed it was her broach

"My broach" Serena whispered "Moon Crystal Power!" she exclaimed as the transformation started to work. As the light faded she was revealed as Sailor Moon

"What do you think your doing attacking innocent people who just want their hair doing. I stand for love, I stand for truth and justice . And in the name of the Moon I shall punish you!" Sailor Moon exclaimed

"I don't think you will be doing anything in here!" the monster exclaimed running towards Sailor Moon but Tuxedo Mask stood in front of Sailor Moon pushing her over

"Sailor Moon" he replied "Use your tiara" he said this as he noticed she didn't have her wand with her. Sailor Moon nodded and gripped her tiara tightly

"Moon Tiara Action!" she exclaimed as she swung the tiara round and hit the monster straight in the chest. It screamed as it was slowly deleted into pieces

"You will pay for that!" she exclaimed as she was slowly deleted into pieces. People slowly started to look around as the smoke started to clear

"You ok?" a voice was heard and Serena turned around to see Tuxedo Mask standing there

"Yeah" Serena nodded smiling "But I think we should go. People might start to ask question

"I agree" Darien nodded as the two superheroes started to walk out of the shop. They hid down an alley as they detransformed

"We can go back for your haircut later" Darien remarked

"Yeah" Serena trailed off "Darien what was that monster" she paused "I don't think they would have had monsters in 1982. I don't think so anyway" she smiled

"Maybe your theory was right after all" Darien replied "Maybe if we can defeat Angel and she`s the ring leader in all this then we will be able to get home. And she`s the one who is sending all the monsters out". Delighted Serena gave Darien a huge hug

"Thank you" she smiled "I knew that you believed in me"

"Come on let`s go and get some lunch" Darien smiled as the two of them walked off arm in arm. But what they didn't know was that Angel was watching them

"So the Sailor Scouts have worked out my little plan" she smirked "Looks like I need to get another plan into action" she smirked

"There was an attack!" Shaz exclaimed as she, Chris, Ray, Serena and Darien sat in Luigis waiting for Gene and Alex. They had ordered their usual bottle of house rubbish and Luigi had just brought it over to them

"Yeah I heard about that" Ray remarked pouring some wine out to Darien "Luckily none of the hairdressers was hurt. They wanted to thank the people who saved them but they mysteriously disappeared"

"Did you see anything Serena?" Shaz glanced at the young girl who had gone back to the hairdressers and had her hair cut short something similar to Alex but blonde and permed. Serena shook her head sipping her water as she did so

"No" she replied "Me and Darien were in the wrong part of London. That was after I had my hair done"

"That was lucky" Shaz breathed as she noticed Alex and Gene walking in. Shaz pulled up a chair for Alex next to her while Gene sat opposite from Ray

"Bad news guys" Alex replied "You know they man David that we brought in for questioning yesterday". The members of CID nodded while Serena and Darien just looked on "Well we brought his girlfriend in for questioning but we had to let her go"

"What!" Serena yelled but Darien just covered her mouth

"Sorry" he replied glancing at Ray and Gene "Carry on Alex" he replied

"Lack of evidence" Alex shrugged glancing across at Gene who was starting to look very confident indeed

"Cant we plant something on her" Ray yelled in anger

"Ray you know we can`t" Shaz glared hard at the older male "I guess we will have just to go back to square one and look at the evidence again" she sighed sipping her drink

"This is bad!" Serena exclaimed banging her head against the table "This means she will be at large to attack anyone or anything" she rolled her eyes "We better be on our target" she glanced at Darien who nodded

"Yeah" he replied. Suddenly his face dropped as he noticed Raye walking over to them dressed in her red Sailor fuku

"Raye!" Serena exclaimed running over to her friend "What are you doing here"

"Hey meatball head" Raye replied "Actually I can`t say that to you anymore as you don't have them" she smirked which caused Serena to growl

"Another one of your friends Serena?" Gene glanced round at Raye who gave the DCI a dirty look

"They get prettier and prettier" Ray smirked

"Monster attack" Raye whispered to Serena and Darien "I got struck and landed here

"If your here and I'm here then is it something against the Sailor Scouts!" Serena exclaimed "If it is then the other scouts are in trouble"

"Not to mention Angel" Darien muttered. Raye gave Darien a strange look

"Who is Angel?" she murmured

"Long story" Serena replied "Ill tell you all about it in the morning

Is Angel set to send all the Sailor Scouts to 1982?. Or is it just Rayes bad luck. Tune in next time to find out
