Sailor Moon-Rhiannon
by Eugol Dlareg
Really scary yet necessary legal stuff for you to digest like it was a handfull of pork rinds: I do not own Sailor Moon. I do not own any of her friends or relatives, either future or in the here and now. They are owned by Toei, which is a movie studio located somewhere in Japan. The "American" names of the characters (the English dub is done in Canada, in case you didn't know. If you ever watch a dubbed episode, and notice a character saying "aboot" for "about", or generally speaking in a Canadian accent, now you know why.) are owned by either DiC or Cloverway. I do, however, own the characters of Jake Slater/Gilded Rose, Rhiannon Foster, and Diane Katzenburg. I am not writing this story for personal profit.
Setting: a couple of months after Revelations.
Fountain Valley, California, the apartment of Diane Katzenburg and Rhiannon Foster.
The phone rang. Diane Katzenburg answered it. "Hello," she asid. "Jake!" she said. It's been a while since I talked to you. Usually when you call, Rhiannon answers the phone. How do you like Japan?" There was a pause, while Jake filled his fiancee's roommate on his life the last couple of months. Rhiannon?" she added when Jake finished talking. "She's not here. She left on a trip, and she won't be back for at least a month." Another pause, and she replied "No, I don't know where she went. But she said she'd get in touch with you."
Tokyo, Japan, the home of Dr. Anderson and her daughter Amy.
Jake hung up the phone. He went to his room, turned on the lava lamp, and lay down on the bed. He began to meditate, and was awakened a few minutes later by a knock at the door. He went to answer the door, and found Lita there. "Amy left about an hour and a half ago with her mom," he said.
"Actually, Amy's the one who sent me here,"Lita said. "She asked me to come over and tell you to meet her and her mom at Big Bob's Pizza. She tried to call, but the line was busy. You were calling Rhiannon, weren't you?"
"Yeah," he answered. "Unfortunately, she wasn't home." They walked the four blocks to Big Bob's Pizza. About halfway there, they encountered what looked like a cross between a vampire and a punker. The creature looked at Lita and Jake, and began to shoot beams of energy from its hands at the pair, sending them flying. "Nice to see you too, Draevyn," Jake said to the creature.
"Friend of yours?" Lita asked him.
"I wouldn't call him my friend," Jake said. "He killed a couple of my buddies back home. Did I ever mention I was doing this Gilded Rose schtick for about five years?"
Lita was already contacting the other scouts. After she shut off her communicator, she materialized her transformation wand. "Jupiter Star Power!" she yelled as she transformed. Jake threw a gold rose at his feet and was quickly enveloped in a gold fog. When it dissapated, he had transformed into Gilded Rose. Draevyn shot some more energy bolts at them, and Gilded Rose easily batted them away with his staff. "Aren't you going to use your speed against him?" Sailor Jupiter asked.
"Speed doesn't work against Draevyn," Gilded Rose explained. "He's just as fast as I am. What we need to do is to split up and attack him from more than one side. And keep your distance. His biggest strength is in close attacks."
"Sounds like a plan," Sailor Moon said. She had arrived with Sailor Mini-Moon. "So what do we do now?"
Gilded Rose didn't say a word, he just picked up Mini-Moon, and used his staff to vault to the other side of Draevyn. Jupiter took the cue to get some distance between her and Sailor Moon, and then Gilded Rose vaulted to a nearby fence, bounced off, and landed about 20 yards behind Sailor Jupiter. He placed a rose at one end of his staff, and twirled it over his head, and the staff was now 30 inches in length, and had a gold rose on one end. He gave one command: "Now!"
"Pink sugar heart attack!" yelled Mini-Moon.
"Jupiter lightning storm!" yelled Jupiter.
"Moon spiral heart attack!" yelled Sailor Moon.
When the three sailor scouts made their attacks, Gilded Rose took a running start, and vaulted over Jupiter's shoulders towards Draevyn. Once he reached the apex of his flight, he yelled "Gold rush!" and he became a gold blur flying towards Draevyn. At the last second, he threw a gold rose at the Draevyn's feet, and landed about ten yards away. He twisted the rose, and Draevyn disappeared in a flash of golden light coming from the rose. When he had disappeared, Jake picked up the rose, threw it up in the air, and fired a beam of energy from the opposite end of the staff. The beam hit the rose, and the rose exploded. "I'd like to see him bother me any more," he said, as the four of them transformed back into their civilian identities.
"You mean you didn't kill him?" Rini asked.
"Nah," Jake explained. "I just sent him to another dimension, then destroyed the portal. One of these days, I'm going to have to fix it so he can't find his way back. But, it looks like we won't be seeing him for a while as it is." Changing the subject, he added "What do you say we go meet Amy and her mom at Big Bob's Pizza?"
The four of them walk to the pizza parlour, where they meet Amy.. "You should have been here five minutes ago," said Amy.
"We ran into an old friend of Jake's," said Lita. "Some guy called Draevyn."
"Listen," Jake said. "Dealing with the immortal psychokillers makes me thirsty. I'm going to get a soda."
As he's walking to the counter to get a soda, Rini asks Lita "Does he know yet?"
"He doesn't have a clue," Lita said.
At that moment, Dr. Anderson and a red-haired woman in her early 20s comes over to the table where Amy, Serena, Rini, and Lita are sitting. The red-haired woman walked over to the counter, and Dr. Anderson started counting down. "Five, four, three, two, one, contact."
Jake had ordered his soda, and was about to go for his wallet to pay for it, when a female hand placed some money on the counter. "This one's on me," the voice said.
Jake instantly recognized the voice, as well as the ring on the hand and the polish on her fingernails. "Rhiannon?!?" he said, amazed that she was standing right there. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I wanted to surprise you," she said, hugging him. "I had planned to spend some time in Japan, and I figured since you were here, I'd spend it with you. Amy and I planned the whole thing."
The next morning, Jake gave Rhiannon a walking tour of Tokyo. "You mean to tell me," Rhiannon said. "That little pink-haired girl is the Serena's daughter. They must have kids pretty young here in Japan."
"Future daughter," Jake explained. "Rini came here from the future. Don't ask me to explain the whole nuts and bolts of it."
"Okay," she said, and changed the subject. "So I hear Draevyn found you. Where did you put him this time?"
"I'm not sure," he said. "But I did make sure to destroy the portal, so he'll have a hard time getting out."
Later that evening, as Amy and Jake are playing chess, Rhiannon sent an email to her roommate. It read:
Diane,
Japan is wonderful, it's everything I imagine Jake must have told you yesterday. I'll be staying here for a while. Send my love to everyone, Rhiannon.
Meanwhile, Jake and Amy are finishing their chess game. Jake moves his bishop, and then a sly grin crosses Amy's face as she moves her knight. "Checkmate," she said.
