AN: 9 Days till SAILOR MOON CRYSTAL! SINGLE DIGITS NOW! I'm sooooo excited! Did I tell you guys that for my husband's anime/comic /manga birthday party, I dressed up as Neo Queen Serenity?! I do admit I have a bit of an obsession to Sailor Moon. Anyways here is the next chapter. J
A large fire blazed, burning a small four storey apartment building in the late afternoon. There was a fire brigade and firemen trying to douse the fire but it seemed like the fire was just spreading. Luckily, it was only a construction site next door. There was people everywhere watching the building burning, most were residents of the apartment. Many of them were crying as they knew they were losing their homes.
"Mercury, use your Shabon Spray!" Commanded a voice. Everyone turned around to see Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Venus standing atop of one of the fire engine.
Sailor Mercury nodded at Sailor Moon's command and sprayed the building. She continued to use her powers as Sailor Moon surveyed the building.
"Sailor Venus, use your chain to pull those sand bags!" Sailor Moon commanded pointing to large sandbags that were sitting on top of the roof of the unfinished building next door. Sailor Venus nodded and the sandbags fell dousing some of the fire on the ground. It also created a barrier for the fire to stop from spreading more.
"Help!" A voice cried out. Sailor Moon looked around but it didn't seem anybody else had heard a voice. She realised it her super hearing from the orbs on her odangos. Sailor Moon looked around to see if she could pin point where the voice was coming from then realised it was coming from deep within the burning building.
"Scouts, I'm going in, there's someone trapped inside!" Sailor Moon called out as she ran into the building before anyone could stop her.
"Sailor Moon!" Yelled Sailor Venus but she was too late to try and stop her. She quickly grabbed her communicator and tried to call the others for help.
It was smoky and hot. There was debris falling all around her but she had to get through and find the owner of that voice. She climbed up a flight of stairs.
"Help!" The voice cried out again. This time Sailor Moon didn't need her super hearing.
"Where are you? It's me, Sailor Moon, call out again so I can find you!" yelled Sailor Moon. She coughed slightly as she tried to get around the fallen debris.
"I'm (cough cough) over here!" The voice yelled out. Sailor Moon walked towards the voice and turned towards a girl's bedroom. There she found a 7 year old little girl on her bed hugging a small teddy bear but there was fire encircling the bed.
"It's okay, I'm gonna get you out!" Sailor moon called as she surveyed the bedroom desperately trying to figure out how she would get to the girl. She looked around and found a large fluffy towel on the girl's dressing table. Sailor Moon grabbed it and tried to kill some of the fire with the towel to make a small path from the bed.
"Quick, go now!" Yelled Sailor Moon still hitting the fire with the towel. The girl nodded and quickly jumped off her bed and ran towards Sailor Moon. "Alright, we have to get out of here."
Just as they were about to leave the room a large wooden beam started to fall. "RUN!" Sailor Moon yelled to the girl. Before the beam could hit them, she used all her strength to grab hold of the beam. "Go now!" Sailor Moon struggled to yell. The little girl quickly ran out of the bedroom but stood at the door way.
"Sailor Moon!" A masculine voice yelled out. Sailor Moon looked up. She smiled weakly when she saw Tuxedo Mask grab the wooden beam off her and pushed it to the side.
"Quickly, Usako, we have to go." Tuxedo Mask said as he took Sailor Moon hand in one hand, and the little girl's in the other. "Try and stay under my cloak." Sailor Moon and the little girl huddled close to Tuxedo Mask to try and stay under his cloak. It seemed it was fire proof.
"I'm gonna kill Sailor Moon!" Yelled Sailor Mars as she approached the burning building. "Why was she so stupid to run into a burning building."
"Look, there she is!" Jadeite called out who was helping the firemen hold the fire hose as it was shooting out water onto the fire. He had arrived moments after Sailor Moon had ran into the building. Jadeite was pointing to three figures that were coming out of the building.
"Sailor Moon!" Mars cried out and ran towards Sailor Moon and gave her a hug. As she did, an ambulance officer came and took the little girl from Tuxedo Mask to quickly examine her.
"What were you thinking?!" Mars yelled pumping her fist in the air. Sailor Moon huddled closely to Tuxedo Mask as Mars continued to yell at her for stupidly running into the fire.
"Mars, she was protecting people, you know, like what super heroes are meant to do, save people's lives." Commented Tuxedo Mask as he wrapped his arm around his fiancé. He was proud of his fiancé. He knew she acted like a true leader today. He knew she was growing up.
Mars sighed and knew Tuxedo Mask was right. Even though it was a fire that had been started by someone smoking and not a youma, they were still super heroes. She knew that the sailor scouts were there to protect people when they can and with the peace that was to last until the deep freeze, the scouts realised that people will still need protecting even if it's not from monsters or the negaverse.
AN: I wanted to show that the Sailor Scouts weren't just there to fight youmas but that they are capable of saving people from ordinary situations, especially because there were no monsters at that particular point in the SM timeline.
