Chapter 3: Samurai Knight

Disclaimer: I do not own Scooby Doo or Sailor Moon, I do own John.

Sailor Mars stared at the closest Violin. It was only then that she saw some sort of odd energy coming from them. The violins were monsters indeed but what type? She had never seen any monsters like it and she doubted Mystery Inc knew about these types of monsters either. She watched as Sailor Saturn did her best and cut down a violin with her weapon. All of the Sailor Senshi hopped was that their friends got out safely. That being said Mystery Inc was almost out of the building. Gasping for breath the gang looked around.

"Hey where are the girls?" Fred asked.

Shaggy gulped "Like maybe they were captured and killed."

"Let's hope not" Velma said "But those violins were real monsters."

"What no way!" Daphne said "Velma you're the one who always says that there are no such things as monsters."

"Actually" John began as he came out of the building "Actually in Tokyo Japan, there are such things as monsters."

Shaggy gulped "Like why and how do you know?"

John sighed "When I was here at the age of five, there were many monster attacks in Japan. One group of monsters were known as Youma, next came Cardians-"

"Cardians?" Velma asked.

"Card monsters" John replied "Next were the Daimons, then Remlesses, and then finally Phages."

"Five monster types?" Shaggy gulped "B.B.B but doesn't that make Tokyo unsafe?"

John shook his head "No Shaggy, luckily Tokyo and all of Japan are protected by the legendary Sailor Senshi. It is said that the Sailor Senshi had fought against all of these monsters and were able to defeat them all."

"Really" Velma said "So what do Sailor Senshi look like?"

They got there answer when they saw a black haired girl wearing white shirt and purple skirt slam into a window breaking it and falling out of the building dazed."

"That is a Sailor Senshi" John said "Sailor Saturn…My favorite one of the bunch."

"You okay miss Sailor Saturn?" Fred asked.

The Sailor Senshi nodded "It's nothing I can't handle."

She then jumped back into the building.

"Hmm…Very interesting" Velma said "Hey John has anyone discovered any of these Sailor Senshi's special identies surely they have to have alter egos if they are Japan's super heroes!"

"No actually" John replied lying because he knew Sailor Saturn's alter ego "Many civilians don't consider investigating them."

Velma bought the lie completely missing it "Well gang what do you say we find out their identities surely they could use our help."

John shrugged "Good Luck at this mystery. I can tell you right now that there are nine of the Sailor Senshi."

"Rine?" Scooby-Doo barked.

"Yes, nine of them" John said.

"Do you know all of their names?" Daphne asked John.

"Yes, I do" John said "Let's see, there's-"

Suddenly Eternal Sailor Moon was flung out of the window.

"Sailor Moon…The leader" John said as Eternal Sailor Moon hit the ground.

"Looks like an angel" Shaggy said.

Sailor Moon shook her head "What are those things? They are stronger than the average monster I've faced."

"Um, like need our help Miss Sailor Moon?" Shaggy asked.

"No, my friends and I will handle them" Sailor Moon said as she flew right into the widow only to be cast aside again this time colliding with a blue haired Sailor Senshi with a blue skirt.

"Who was that Sailor Senshi?" Velma asked.

"The blue skirted one?" John asked "That was the genius of the group Sailor Mercury."

"They look like they are not doing too well" Fred said "We have to do something…What do you suggest John?"

John didn't respond and the gang looked around.

"Um guys where did John go?" Fred asked.

Shaggy gulped and Fred turn to him "What is it Shaggy?"

"Like why don't you ask that monster?" Shaggy asked pointing at a violin monster.

"I hope you have a plan Fred" Daphne said as Sailor Saturn's weapon sliced the violin monster in half destroying it…Or so she thought. As soon as the monster was sliced it split into four exact copies of the monster and the copies advanced on the gang.

"Of course I do…Run!" Fred said.

And with this the gang broke down running.

Monster Mash theme begins to play

One of the copies chased after Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. It chased them down town and into a honey both. The violin monster stopped and looked at the two. Shaggy merely brought up one finger as if the monster was placing an order. He brought out a honey container and blasted the monster with the full container's contents. Then without warning at Shaggy's nod Scooby then threw a honey bee container right onto the monster. The honey bees were angry and began stinging the monster in a madden frenzy! With the monster being chased Shaggy and Scooby bolted but not before the two swiped a honey jar.

The second violin monster chased Fred down the town waving its bow as if it was a sword. Fred stopped and grabbed a stick, and then he began to engage the monster. However the monster's bow acted just like a sword and cut the stick in half! Fred backed away but Daphne ran up to aide Fred she positioned herself underneath the monster's legs the monster nearly tripped over Daphne but Fred gave it a good kick and sent it flying.

It chased Velma around next. Velma thought of everything but couldn't get a clear idea on how to drive off her attacker. Then she got it, smiling to herself Velma ran into a library. The monster followed her but it proved to be a bad thing. The monster broke into the building but this time Velma was ready! She had climbed over a book case and waited for it. With all her might she managed to spill oil onto the monster then drop a match on the monster. The match worked like a charm. The monster ran out trying to put out the fire but was eventually burnt to death.

Velma walked out of the store with a triumphant smile on herself. She watched as the rest of her gang minus John managed to come together. The gang gasped as the three violin monsters came closer towards her.

End of the chase music.

The violin monsters one with honey still on it and bee stings, one with Fred and Daphne's teamwork marks on it, at an angry roar Scooby jumped into Shaggy's opened arms as the gang was cornered with their backs behind towards a fountain. Shaggy was shaking badly "Like, it's lights out for us!"

Velma then turned towards Scooby "These violin monsters don't take too kindly to fire."

Fred then got an idea he turned to Scooby "Scooby, Shaggy! There is a store that has Five star hot sauce!"

"Really rhere?" Scooby asked.

Then Scooby saw it "Right rhere Raggy!"

"Like let's get it Scoob!" Shaggy shouted they rushed over to an opened both and grabbed a full container of the five skull hot sause!

Fred then grabbed a match and then ordered Scooby and Shaggy to press onto the container. Fred then dropped the match as the hot sauce met the flames. The flames hit all of the violin monster bursting them up and destroying them.

"Like that's a first" Shaggy said "But that was a waist of the sauce man"

"Well these violins seem to have the ability to make more of themselves when cut by something" Velma said "But they are weakened by fire…Come gang we know how to beat them, we've got to help the Sailor Senshi!"

"And too find John" Fred said "Okay gang it's time to split up and search for John or help the Sailor Senshi. Daphne, Velma and I will help the Sailor Senshi out! Shaggy and Scooby, you get the job to find John."

"Like a plan where we don't get to run into the monsters!" Shaggy said smiling "Like let's go Scoob! Let's rescue John!"

"Rhea, rillant ran Reddie! Rhehehe" Scooby barked.

Soon the Mystery Inc gang split up.

"Like John, where are you?" Shaggy asked looking for John.

Back inside the building.

"This is ridiculous!" Sailor Uranus shouted as her talisman sliced a monster in half only for it to be making four copies of itself.

Sailor Mercury scanned the monsters "It seems that we can't defeat them by slicing them up and if we do they make four more of themselves."

Eternal Sailor Moon nodded "And my attack seems not to be affecting them!"

Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus were nearly tired out. The numbers were getting to them. Sailor Saturn herself was tiring out she lifted up her glaive "Silent Glaive Surprise!"

Her attack hit and destroys twenty of the monster but they still keep coming "Oh come on! Even if we hit them with a ranged attack they just keep on coming!"

Suddenly the violins sent out a musical rhythm and were making the Sailor Senshi feel sleepy! They feel asleep. Sailor Saturn and Eternal Sailor Moon were the only ones to fight the sleeping music off. However this led them open. Seeing their chances the violin monsters wrapped their strings around the girls and began shocking them to death.

The girls screamed in pain but then short sword flew from the air cutting the strings off Sailor Saturn and Sailor Moon.

The two girls turned and saw a samurai.

"The life of beautiful maidens are not meant to be taken away. I the Samurai Knight shall not let this continue."

"Samurai Knight?" Sailor Saturn asked.

The knight jumped down and with a katana glowing with flames destroyed the nearest violin monster which seemed to have worked.

"Sailor Moon!" Fred shouted as he Daphne, and Velma ran in!

The Moon Princess turned her head and saw them and they let out "These violin monsters are weakened by fire…Oh it looks like the samurai knows it."

Sailor Moon nodded "Right I just need some fire with my own attack!"

At the word fire, Sailor Mars woke up "What's this thing about fire?"

She watched as the Samurai Knight helped Hotaru destroy another Violin monster with his samurai sword glowing with fire.

With a nod at her leader Sailor Mars nodded "Right, Fire Soul!"

Mystery Inc gang gasped as Sailor Mars sent out a spiraling fire attack towards the monsters, Eternal Sailor Moon raised her wand "Silver Moon…Crystal Power…Kiss!"

Mystery Inc gang gasped as Sailor Moon spun around then raised her weapon high and released a purifying circling light attack! The light attack combines with the fire attack and makes a circling light fire attack. The attack connects and reverts all of the evil monsters back into their violin formats. Thus ending the battle and making sure no evil was in the violins. Once then Sailor Saturn turned to thank the Samurai Knight but the person she was looking for vanished.

"Where did he go?" Sailor Saturn asked.

Even Mystery Inc had to look around "The Samurai was here wasn't he Velma?"

Velma nodded "Yes, but how are the other Sailor Senshi?"

"Exhausted" Eternal Sailor Moon muttered she turned to Sailor Saturn "Looks like you have protector now."

Sailor Saturn looked up "Maybe, but who is he?"

"You mean you girls have someone that helps you too?" Fred asked Sailor Moon.

"Yes, but it usually is Tuxedo Kamen."

"Who's Tuxedo Kamen?" Velma asked "I wish John were here."

Suddenly Velma got her answer as a red rose came from a window. Standing there was a tuxedo clad man the man leaped down towards Sailor Moon "Are you okay?"

"Yes, thankfully to the Samurai Knight" Sailor Moon said she turned to introduce the Mystery Inc gang

"John went missing?" Sailor Saturn asked alarmed when the mention of John disappearing finally got threw towards her.

Velma nodded "Yes, one minute he was talking about the you girls, the next he's missing."

Tuxedo Kamen looked at Daphne whom looked at him exactly "You're a handsome gentleman and that hat matches with your tuxedo!"

Tuxedo Kamen smiled down "I see your interested in fashion."

"I am" Daphne said "So I guess you're the one that helps Sailor Moon out do you know who the Samurai Knight is?"

Tuxedo Kamen shrugged "No, but I'd like to meet him one of these days."

"I have a feeling that you might" Velma said.

Shaggy and Scooby

The two were looking for John but didn't have any luck.

"Like Scoob I wonder if the others ran into the monsters."

"Ret's rope ro" Scooby-Doo barked.

Soon the two found John.

"Like John, so this was where you were" Shaggy stated "We thought the monster nabbed you"

John nodded "It did but one chased me around Tokyo. Don't know how I got past in though" John said.

"Like let's go back everyone's worried about you" Shaggy said.

"Right" John said.

Soon everyone met up again.

"John!" Velma shouted "We were worried what happened to you?"

Sailor Saturn was right at her side sighing with relief that John was okay.

John nodded as he explained his tale "Well when I was speaking to you about the Sailor Senshi, the ground where I was standing dragged me underground."

"Where were you standing?" Daphne asked.

"Right where Shaggy and Scooby are standing right now" John replied.

At this, Shaggy and Scooby looked down. Scooby jumped with fright into Shaggy's arms and with Shaggy whimpering they made their way over to safer ground right behind Sailor Mars whom shook her head, rolled her eyes and muttered "Cowards."

John continued "Well anyway I ran into of those Violin freaks, it chases me everywhere but I managed to escape and got perfectly lost."

"I see" Velma said "However the battle is over, those violins were weakened by fire."

"My question is" Fred began "How did they come to life? And what were those?"

"Some sort of new enemy" Sailor Uranus said as she came out of the building "Far more powerful monsters…The new question is why and who is the new enemy leader."

"Like John let's get out of here and go to America!" Shaggy said "It's a lot safer there."

"No Shaggy" John stated firmly "I have a feeling that this new enemy will follow us to America and if that happens we have no heroes to protect ourselves and we don't have any sort of powers to save us if we run into real monsters."

Fred nodded "John has a point, say girls, how would like us if we teamed up with you."

"Would we ever!" Sailor Moon shouted exactly "We need people like yourselves to help us solve this monstrous mystery! Mysteries are your specialty!"

"Like going back to America is out of the question?" Shaggy asked.

Fred nodded "Yes, something is tying all of us together. We must help the Sailor Senshi out in solving this bigger mystery."

Velma nodded "If only we could fight though."

John shrugged "Besides judging that everyone is coming back the violin contest is about to rebegin."

"Agreed" Sailor Neptune said "We've got to get ready for it!"

A few hours later.

The contest was resumed. Everyone enjoyed the contest. Towards the end of the contest, it was down to John, and Michiru as the last competitors as Michiru stated earlier. The two competitors smiled as they finished the last hard piece.

The announcer came out thirty minutes later with a note after the Judges agreed who would win.

"And the winner of the violin contest this year is…" The announcer said.

Usagi, Minako, Makoto, Ami, Rei, Haruka, and Setsuna held there breathe and locked their fingers for Michiru while Hotaru, Velma, Shaggy, Scooby, Daphne and Fred held their own breathe for John.

"John from America!" the announcer shouted.

Despite having their hopes broken Usagi, Minako, Makoto, Ami, Rei, Haruka and Setsuna joined in congratulating John for his victory. The announcer handed over the award money and grand prized violin to John. It was clear that last night's encounter with the deadly violin monsters took it's tool on the him. However he took the award and strolled up to the microphone.

"Thanks everyone! However I wouldn't have done it without the aid of my friends and my violin tutor."

John turned to Michiru "This violin is for her as a sign of my gratitude for teaching me."

Michiru smiled as she accepted the violin "Thanks John."

John returned the mike to the announcer whom then stated "Now you may all enjoy some refreshment-"

BURP everyone turned and saw a very stuffed Shaggy and Scooby. John smacked himself in the forehead, while Fred crossed his arms, while Velma and Daphne just stared at them.

"Haha like olive anyone?" Shaggy asked holding up an olive.

"Note to self" John muttered as Hotaru joined him alongside Michiru "Hide the refreshment table better."

Scooby himself smiled "Rooby-rooby roo!!!!!!!!!!!Rehehehe"

John alongside the two united groups walked outside.

"Congratulations John" Fred said.

"Thanks" John smiled "But now we have a bigger mystery on our hands but first…Hotaru."

Hotaru walked up to him "Yes,"

"How about you and I go out tomorrow for lunch."

Hotaru smiled as she hugged John "You bet, but this time, let's not have Scooby and Shaggy join us."

John nodded "See you at twelve then."

Hotaru smiled "Yes, thank you"

The Mystery Inc gang split up and went to their hotel for the night.

"Say John" Fred began as the Mystery Machine went back "Can you tell us more about the Sailor Senshi?"

"Like most people in Tokyo, Japan, I don't know very much about them."

"Say you said that your favorite Sailor Senshi was Sailor Saturn now why is that?"

"Well" John began "Each Sailor Senshi has a special power. Sailor Saturn just happens to be a wonderful healer, but she is the Sailor Senshi of death-"

At the word death Shaggy and Scooby gulped "D-D-D-Death as in the Grim Reaper?"

John sighed "Yes as the Grim reaper however she might be death and destruction but she's also rebirth."

"Rebirth" Velma said "As in reincarnation. With those two special powers of her you'd think that she'd be the most powerful Sailor Senshi."

"She is the second most powerful Sailor Senshi I believe" John said "Sailor Moon is the strongest but Sailor Saturn is the most feared Sailor Senshi."

Shaggy nodded "Like and I don't blame them if due to the fact that she has the power of death and destruction at her side!"

"Shaggy" Velma said "You're missing out of the whole thing she maybe death and destruction but she is also rebirth meaning she has the power to heal others. Don't be so harsh on her, I mean the planet Saturn has been known to be the strongest Roman God of destruction"

"Oh" Shaggy said.

"Shaggy has the right to be afraid of Sailor Saturn" John stated "She is very deadly and has a lot of power of her side! So she is my favorite Sailor Senshi but she is to be respected both fearfully and as a friend"

"How powerful is she?" Daphne asked.

"Let's just say, that if Sailor Saturn wanted to, she could destroy the planet Earth or any other planet in this galaxy" John responded.

At this Shaggy gulped "Then like what kept her from wiping out those Violin monsters from the face of this planet?"

"Because" John responded closing his eyes "If Sailor Saturn uses her energy to destroy an entire planet or kill an invincible foe…She dies."

Everyone gasped at this.

"How many times has she used this power?" Daphne asked.

John shrugged "Who knows Daphne."

"So is there any information we can do to find out more about the Sailor Senshi?" Velma asked "I mean if we are going to help them we should at least find out more about them."

John smiled as he grabbed a piece of paper "There is actually a celebration, the people of Japan celebrate this celebration every year, and it honors all of the Sailor Senshi. If we go to this festival we could find out just that little bit of information we need to know about them."

"Like did you say festival?" Shaggy asked.

"Yes, I did" John said.

"Say when does it begin?"

"Two days from now" John said.

"That's Saturday" Fred said.

"Like alright Scoob!" Shaggy said "It's a festival celebrating the Sailor Senshi! And you know what festival's have."

"ree rood!" Scooby barked licking all over his mouth he tongue got wrapped around his face then retracted back into his mouth "Rehehehe."

"Like what are we waiting for let's go to it!" Shaggy said.

Velma nodded "Right and we'll learn a little bit more about the Sailor Senshi! So Fred, let's plan to go to this festival."

"Right gang!" Fred said.

The Mystery Machine crawled into the parking lot of the hotel and the gang went to bed.

They were unaware of a puppy whom was shouting at his minions.

"We had them!" the puppy spoke up "But you buffoons screwed up!"

"But boss, we actually took their energy" the closet thug managed to speak up.

"That maybe true!" the puppy snapped "But that energy isn't enough! Build up new Scrappy Youmas immediately before I feed you to my pet crocodile!"

"Right! On it!" the Thug shouted running off.

The puppy turned to the box "Soon this world will be mine! And you will be free to serve me!"

He followed the map at the North Pole and found the frozen form of Jadeite!

The puppy raised his puzzle "Unthaw!"

The ice around Jadeite melted due to the box's power.

"Queen Baryel?" Jadeite asked.

"No look down here!" Jadeite looked down "How are you?"

"I'm Scrappy-Dappy-Doo! And you will work for me!"

"Why should I work for you puppy?" Jadeite asked.

"Because I'm stronger than you and I'm no puppy!" Scrappy shouted with the box he had Scrappy grew bigger to a giant and smashed Jadeite into the ground "So are you going to follow my orders?"

"Yes sir" Jadeite stated.

"Good" Scrappy said "Now do you remember or recall the names Sailor Senshi?"

At this Jadeite reached out and unleashed his special powers.

"I think…He's heard about him" was the thug's comment.

Scrappy chuckled "They hold the keys into stopping me, I want you to work alongside my new Scrappy Youma and steel the energies of humans in order to revive you Four Kings and your queen Baryel!"

Jadeite smiled "I will do what you ask master."

"Let me tell you this the humans are planning on a celebration. I want you to blend into the crowd and kill the Sailor Senshi while stealing the energy of all of the people of Tokyo!"

Jadeite smiled "I'll do what you ask, those brats owe me big time."

He vanished preparing for what he hoped would be the Sailor Senshi's last fatal encounter with him.

End of Chapter!

Finally a new chapter is out! What is Jadeite's plan? Can Sailor Senshi defeat him or will they finally meet their match? Find out next in the next chapter. Chapter 4: Jadeite Returns.
