Author's Note: Since these are supposed to be like episodes of Sailor Moon I started doing something, before you read the chapter/episode listen to either the dub Sailor Moon Theme, or Moonlight Denetsu, and then when the chapter/episode is over listen to the Sailor Moon Theme (Reprise) or Tuxedo Mirage. Try it! It really make this seem like a whole new series!
Lover's Quarrel! Identities and Deaths!
Usagi was happier than she had been in some time. It was sunny with blue skies. The wind blew with a bone-chilling coldness, but she didn't care. Yakoto had given her his jacket when he had picked her up at home.
She smiled to herself and cuddled closer to her fiance. Usagi breathed, "This is perfect."
"You're right; it is perfect," Yakoto replied. Slowly he leaned in, and they kissed. Usagi embraced the feeling of it. No more was she afraid of betraying Mamoru. She knew wherever he was, he was happy for her. She could finally live her life again.
Usagi was the first to pull away. She said, "Even with the Junglers out there, I feel safe here today."
"The only thing I'm worried about is Sailor Sun," Yakoto disclosed.
Usagi was a little shocked by his response. She replied, "I'm not. She just needs to see we're all Sailor Scouts and want to do the same thing. I know she means us no harm."
"Usagi! She tried to kill you!" Yakoto retorted.
Usagi quickly pushed herself off of Yakoto's chest. She asked, "I just tried to push her into joining us too fast. What are you trying to say?"
Yakoto responded, "We can't trust Sailor Sun! She has to be treated just like an enemy!"
Usagi gasped, "You can't mean that! I thought you were with me on this!"
"How can I? I can't even begin to try to trust someone like that! Damn it, Usagi, she tried to kill you!"
Usagi's eyes began to water. The tears were forming out of anger. She felt as if she had been betrayed in the worst possible way. She cried, "I told you it was an accident! She didn't mean anything!"
Yakoto yelled, "How do you not mean to kill someone? Usagi, sometimes your good heart makes you so blind!"
Usagi retorted, "No it doesn't! I know what I'm talking about!"
"Obviously you don't or you wouldn't be talking like this," he responded.
Usagi stood up and turned away from him. She placed her hands near her heart and let the tears fall. She cried, "If you can't believe in me, then maybe we shouldn't be together."
Yakoto snapped, "Maybe we shouldn't!"
Usagi turned back to face him and put on a fake smile. Slowly she slipped off her engagement ring and let it fall. She replied, "Mamoru would have believed in me."
Time seemed to slow as Yakoto watched Usagi run away crying and her ring fall. There seemed to be an earthquake as her ring hit the ground leaving Yakoto alone.
Minna sighed, "Guys we're getting nowhere! This machine keeps giving us dull targets."
"I'm working on it! The program is almost finished, and we will then get specific results," Steve responded typing on the large computer.
Josh sat in a corner of the room by himself. One again he had failed to capture the real spiritual animals. It wasn't his fault, though, was it? They got targets from the computer. Really it was that things fault. That stupid machine is what is getting me in trouble! Josh thought.
"Damn machine!" Steve yelled as a loud beeping sound emanated from the computer.
Josh asked, "So when is that going to be ready?"
Steve retorted, "Why do you want to know?"
"I want to go out again," Josh replied.
Minna yelled, "Are you freaking crazy?"
Steve put up a hand. This could be great, he thought. "There is a possibility that it works," he replied. He stepped aside motioning for Josh to find a target. Josh walked up and found a target right away. He quickly disappeared through a hole in the ground.
"What are you thinking? He's going to fail once again!" Minna yelled.
Steve grinned, "Precisely. I'll be waiting for him when he gets back."
Minna eyed him trying to figure out what he was up to. After awhile she gave up and walked over to her private desk. Silence filled the room until Steve broke it. "Shit!" he yelled.
"What?" Minna asked.
He responded, "I think the program worked! I think it gave him the rightful owner of a powerful spiritual animal!" He gritted his teeth, "It will ruin everything!"
"Usagi, why aren't you eating your ice cream?" Rei asked.
Usagi sighed and continued to stare off into space. The ice cream sundae in front of her began to melt. She didn't want it. Usagi didn't want anything. Even the freezing cold cream couldn't dull the flaming pain in her heart.
Minako asked, "What's wrong? You haven't said a word since we came to the ice cream parlor."
"Where's Yakoto?" Ami asked.
Usagi stuck her head on the table and placed her arms around it. "I don't know," she responded.
Makoto said, "We can't help if you don't tell us what is wrong, Usagi."
She replied, "No one said anything is wrong. I'm not hungry."
Rei yelled, "Stop being so stubborn! You eat ice cream like it's going out of style whether you're hungry or not! Now," she suddenly gasped. She noticed the engagement ring was missing from Usagi's finger. Rei asked, "Did you and Yakoto get into a fight?"
Usagi's muffled cries could be heard through her arms. Rei asked, "What happened?" She found that she couldn't hold it in anymore and told her friends everything that happened.
When she finished, her friends were speechless. Ami was the first to speak. She said, "Usagi, in a relationship you're always going to have fights, but you have to be together to work them out. Just because he didn't agree with you didn't mean anything about his love for you." All the other girls nodded with what Ami said.
(Begin to listen to the song Ai No Senshi here to dramatize this next part! It's just for fun! )
"Now, let's go to his house so you two can talk," Rei added. Then they all stood up and began walking to Yakoto's apartment.
When they arrived, the doorman let them in. Usagi's heart began to hurt more as her memories of being here with Mamoru came back. She looked at the steps she had walked up so many times to see her greatest love.
Usagi pushed it aside and lead everyone down a hallway on the first floor. Soon they arrived at apartment number 15. She knocked on the door, "Yakoto? Are you there? I want to talk to you."
A sound from the other side of the door yelled, "Go away! I don't want to talk to you!"
The girls all gasped, but Usagi had a feeling something was wrong. She asked, "Yakoto, what did you say to me today? What were we talking about?"
Silence was all that followed. Usagi knew then that something was wrong. She quickly turned the doorknob, and everyone tumbled in. They all jumped up and saw Josh standing over Yakoto's body, his lion spiritual animal floating above him.
"Yakoto!" the girls gasped.
Josh laughed, "Hello, girls! You must be friends! You'll be perfect for this lion's lunch!" A cracking sound emanated in the room, and the girls looked up to see a piece of the ceiling beginning to fall. They dove all the way into the room before it fell and blocked the doorway out.
"I'm glad you could be here! Now for the main attraction!" Josh cackled.
The girls stood watching Josh as he began to turn the spiritual animal real. What do we do? If we transform, the enemy will know who we are. If we don't, we'll surely die! Usagi thought. Then she grasped her brooch. "Don't even think about it!" she yelled. He looked at Usagi and trembled from the glare she gave him. The others whipped out their transformation wands.
"What? Are you the-" he gasped.
Usagi yelled, "Moon Eternal..."
Rei shouted, "Mars Crystal Power..."
"Jupiter Crystal Power..."
Minako bellowed, "Venus Crystal Power..."
Ami called, "Mercury Crystal Power..."
Then they all yelled, "Make-Up!"
Josh stared, gaping as he watched the girls before him transforming. These had been the girls who had stopped him and his siblings so many times!
"Josh!" Sailor Moon yelled. "Put Yakoto's spiritual animal back! If it's not what you want, then give it back."
He laughed, "Never! It will be perfect to get rid of you meddlesome bitches! Leo the lion! Grow!" Suddenly the lion engulfed Yakoto's body, and it became a real, vicious lion.
Sailor Venus yelled, "If you think you're going to stop us, you better think again! Venus! Love and Beauty-"
"No! Don't hurt the lion! That's Yakoto!" Sailor Moon interrupted.
"Sailor Moon," Sailor Mars said, "if we don't do anything he'll kill us."
She responded, "We can't hurt Yakoto anymore than I've hurt him already!"
Josh said, "Ah, whatever! Go Leo!"
The lion then leapt at the Scouts who jumped away. Leo didn't lose track of them, though. He ran after Sailor Mercury and slammed his paw into her sending her soaring through the room eventually smashing into the oak coffee table.
Sailor Mars landed in front of Josh. "How dare you try and hurt Usagi! Mars! Flame Sniper!" She let go of the flaming arrow, and it soared for Josh who tried to dodge it, but it snipped his arm.
"Oh you stupid…Earthquake!" He threw the vibrations from his katanas and the room split apart. Sailor Mars began to fall, but she quickly grabbed onto the edge of the cracked floor. "You see that huge blackness below you? I call that home, but I think you people call it Hell," he cackled.
The other three standing Scouts looked over at what had happened to Sailor Mars. It gave Leo enough time to claw Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus, leaving deep gashes in their sides. Sailor Moon cried, "Yakoto! Stop!" The lion responded to Usagi. He turned to face her and opened his mouth. A bright white light formed, and he shot the beam at Sailor Moon. She screamed as she flew back and crashed into the wall.
"Now you Scouts will finally be out of our hair!" Josh yelled. Slowly Sailor Mars began to lose her grip, and then she began to fall into the darkness of Hell.
"Love-Me Chain!" Sailor Venus yelled sending a chain of hearts down which wrapped around Sailor Mars and stopped her fall.
Josh said, "I don't think so." He flew after Sailor Venus who was trying to pull Sailor Mars back up.
"Mercury! Aqua Rhapsody!" Sailor Mercury said. It sent a large bolt of ice at Josh sending him flying backwards and hitting the ground. Then Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter helped pull Mars back up.
Suddenly Leo figured out something was going on. Sailor Moon thought fast and realized Mamoru's apartment was above them. She yelled, "Sailor Mars! Burn a hole in the ceiling!"
Sailor Mars wasted no time. "Burning Mandala!" A hole began to melt in the ceiling and finally a large desk fell through and landed on the lion.
Sailor Moon choked back tears as she saw the picture of her, Mamoru, and Chibi-usa on the desk. She shook her head and called her eternal tier. She yelled, "Silvermoon Crystal Power Kiss!" The lion quickly turned back into Yakoto.
Josh managed to stand back up, but Sailor Jupiter was faster. "Jupiter! Oak Evolution!" She sent electrified leaves at Josh which all hit him and sent him flying out the window.
He struggled to stand back up. He breathed, "I'll be back. I know who you are!" Then he was gone through a hole in the ground.
Sailor Moon quickly ran to Yakoto's side. "Wake up, Yakoto! I'm sorry about what I said! I want us to be together forever!" she cried.
Sailor Mercury walked next to her. She said, "He's just unconscious. As long as they are turned back and their spiritual animal is intact, the victims will be fine."
Sailor Moon smiled and laid her head down on his moving chest.
Outside Sailor Sun had watched the whole ordeal. Perhaps I underestimated them all, she thought.
Josh stumbled into the lair and then collapsed on the floor. Steve slowly slithered out on the shadows, his scythe seeming to grin at Josh. "So, you failed again, brother?"
Josh looked up. He retorted, "I've done better than you ever have."
"That may be true, but I don't care. You still don't have results. Wynn, Minna, and I are sick of your failures," Steve replied.
"What are you getting at?" Josh asked.
Steve responded, "We have no more need of you." Then he began to raise his scythe.
Josh pleaded, "Wait, I know who the Sailor Scouts are!"
Steve laughed, "Nice try!" His scythe then flew down and sliced through the neck of his brother. Josh's head rolled across the ground with a horrified expression still plastered on his face. Blood spouted from his neck like a red fountain, making a pool on the floor.
Steve began to cackle maniacally and even more so as Josh's body fell into the pool of dark, red blood and splattered Steve with it. No one crosses me, he thought.
Wynn cried as her husband stroked her long shimmering sand-blond hair. "I so badly want you back."
He responded, "You won't have to wait long. That last target was close to a person who conceals one of the spiritual animals."
Wynn gasped. They would find out who...

Minako: "The first spiritual animal!"
Rei: "It can't be!"
Usagi: "And she's Sailor Sun? Why does she not want to work with us then?"

Note: I'd like to know if the music made it any better, and if it did, I'll add more in when big battles come. If it doesn't dramatize it at all then I'll just quit, lol. Continue to review, please!
