Moon Kingdom Ruins
"I will never ride in that thing again." Lan fell forward with a moan. The flume ride to the Moon hadn't exactly been pleasant. He felt like his stomach had been ripped apart, put back together with cheap glue, then stuck back in his body.
"Oh, don't be such a wuss, girly." Ash chuckled from a few feet away.
"I swear to you, Ash, I will hurt you." Lan said, as Chaud appeared.
When they were all through the flume, they got their first look of the area, and it was a depressing sight. They could tell that it had once been a glorious place. The decaying buildings stood proud, despite their damage.
"Wait a minute!" Ash yelled suddenly, his friends jumping. "How can we breath on the moon?"
"You scared the hell out of us for that!" Sammy shouted. He took in a calming breath and turned to the teen. "People can do that in this universe. That's why there is a freaking KINGDOM up here!"
Ash was prepared to defend his remark, when a low hum began to echo throughout the ruined kingdom. The warriors seemed to be drawn to it as they moved in a line. When they arrived, they found a floating silver sphere, about the size of a beach ball. It popped upon and a holographic figure appeared, a pretty beat up one. He seemed to be wearing some kind of uniform, a dark blue suit. The heroes gasped as they realized who it was. It was Ash.
"Hello, brave warriors. If you are seeing this, then you have made it to the Moon Kingdom, or what's left of it. I'm sure you're wondering why Ash and I look alike. It's because we are the same person, but I am him from the Moon Kingdom, years in the past. You see, the five of you were members of the galaxy's greatest defense force, the Battle Netwarriors. We were based on every planet, but we were pulled to the Moon when Queen Beryl attacked. We fought long and hard, until Queen Serenity used the Silver Imperium Crystal to send the Moon Princess and the senshi into the future. Little did she know that Beryl's top warrior escaped her trap. He used a dimensional blast to send every, single netwarrior to an alternate universe. All except one. The former prince, Samuel Serenity."
Sammy gasped sharply. "I'm a… prince?"
"I know that it is hard to believe, Sammy," the past Ash continued. "You see, no one else ever knew because you ran away long before the battle, so the good queen didn't find a good reason to tell the senshi of the present that there was a prince of the Moon Kingdom. You were a rebel in your own family, but your mother wanted you to be the person that you should be. She wanted you to be the ruler of the Moon Kingdom, an ambassador to Earth. You ran off, however, and joined the Battle Netwarriors."
"I need to tell you one more thing before I go. Even though they were all good once, many of the former team members have been corrupted. I know this because my holographic self has been watching over the Multiverse. It is up to you to find them, by freeing each alternate reality. You can do this by entering the House. It is a place that links all of dimensions together. To get there, you must acquire Pluto's staff. Once you do this, you'll be able to reach The House. Goodbye."
They couldn't believe what they had just heard. It was shocking. It was insane. It was…
"Mercury Bubble, Blast!" The five teens had no time to react, as Chaud, Tracey, and Sammy were automatically frozen. Lan and Ash turned to see Jupiter and Mercury.
"You guys are everywhere!" Ash shouted angrily. He quickly tried to pull his sword out, but was frozen in a second blast.
"Oh, you are NOT supposed to be me." the brunette scout snarled.
Lan's mouth fell open. After a moment, he said, "About that. I never wanted to dress up like you. Your legs look better in this than MINE!" Lan was hit by a large lightning bolt, falling unconscious instantly.
Holding Cell
"Eddie Wall!" Tracey's vortex slammed into the invisible barrier, but had no effect. "This is getting us nowhere fast."
"Well what do you suppose we do?" Chaud inquired testily. "If we don't find a way out of this trap, then we can't help Sammy. Who knows what they're doing to him?"
Throne Room
Sammy stood surrounded by the entire sailor senshi, his sister in front of him. No matter what happened, he wouldn't look shame faced. He kept a look of defiance as she began. "Attacking the royal guards, resisting arrest, unauthorized space travel. Why, Sammy?"
"Because it's my destiny." He spat at her, voice laced with hate.
"What do you mean?"
"You could never understand." the teen snapped. "All my life, I was alone. I never had any real friends. I felt empty. And you never made me feel any better. For the past fourteen years of my life, you've treated me like crap. In all that time, we never had a single good moment. Then, I find out that you, the clumsiest, stupidest, freakiest person I know, are a queen, and that my entire existence is a charade! But now, I have a real importance. And that's to help my friends!" out of nowhere, the Stretch Grenade appeared and Sammy slammed it into the ground, yelling, "Ice Barrier!" columns of ice shot up in front of everyone in the room.
While they were all confused, Sam slid through the barrier right next to Pluto and grabbed the staff. "What the hell!" he jumped through the doorway.
"Peace out1 You stupid bi-" The door slammed shut.
As he turned away from the exit, he shouted at the top of his lungs, seeing his teammates. "How did you guys get here?"
"Rini let us." Tracey smiled, looking to Lan.
"Why?"
"Can we just focus on escape right now!" Lan yelled, blushing. The five teenagers were ready to leave, when a wall of water exploded in front of them and behind them. "What's going on!"
Suddenly, The roof above them collapsed and Gary appeared in front of them. "Hey ya, Ashy."
"What do you want?" Ash growled, his sword out and ready.
"I just found out what my element is."
"Your wha?" Ash asked, a puzzled look on his face.
"You idiot. Haven't you noticed that your friends have used elemental attacks. Tracey uses wind, Sammy uses ice, and, if you can't tell, mine's water. And the reason I'm here is to battle you in a one on one fight. So will you?"
"You bet." Ash drew his sword as his rival pulled out his two machine guns. 'I hope I can figure out what my element is.' this was his last thought before it began.
