Chapter 3: Mercury Rising
On an island, in a town a monster was attacking. The monster grabbed a little girl. A voice called out "Stop right there!". The monster looked up and saw a teenage girl about 15 with long blonde hair, she wore a red ribbon in her hair. She wore a shirt with a blue collar, red ribbon, red on the sides and a blue skirt with a red trim, blue high heels and a red mask covered her eyes. The monster looked up and got a kick in the face. The monster dropped the little girl and the girl raised her finger and called out "Crescent Beam!" she shot out a beam from her finger and the monster designated.
"Who are you?" asked the little girl.
"Call me Sailor V." said the girl.
Months later far away on the Merry Go, Nami was reading the news paper when she called out to everyone else.
"Hey look at this!"
She pointed at something in the news paper. "Two for one sale on piano benches?" asked Usagi, "Why do we need those, the ship doesn't have a piano"
"She has a point" said Luffy.
Nami stared at the two for a second and then said "Not that this!"
Luna jumped up onto the paper and began to read the article "Marines Deny Sailor V is an Agent. The Marines sent out a press release today saying that infamous Sailor V is not an agent for the marines. The mysterious teenaged girl has been stopping crime on various islands. Some say she is an agent for the Marines some say she is from outer space. It is believed that she has eaten some sort of devil fruit as many witnesses say she has shot a beam from her finger. No one has ever seen her face as it is always covered in a red mask. The Marines have deiced not to peruse unless she has done something against." The black cat. Sighed "So you suspect she might be a Sailor Senshi?"
Nami nodded, "Someone has to think about that" she said looking at Usagi.
Despite the front that she put up when she first joined that she was strong and pretty serious, she's really a ditzy girl, and tends to forgot things easily. Plus there's her crying.
"That's mean Nami…" said Usagi who was about to cry. There was one way to avoid her crying, Sanji knew what it was "I'll go get you something to eat" he said.
He eyes lit up and said "Thank you Sanji."
"Can you get me something too?" asked Luffy.
"Get it yourself" Sanji snapped at him.
Meanwhile in a dark place Jadeite stood before the woman known as Queen Beryl.
"You have lost both Veena and Ilsuina in one day! How can you explain what happened?" demanded Queen Beryl.
"Well I have discovered that a girl calling herself Sailor Moon is destroyed them. I have a way to avoid Sailor Moo and gain the energy we need." said Jadeite.
"Explain." said Queen Beryl.
"Well I have discovered that this Sailor Moon is associated with the pirate crew called the Straw Hats, if I don't go after the pirate then they won't show up." said Jadeite.
"Hmm…" though Queen Beryl, "Very well what's your plan"
"I have chosen a random island and set up a clinic where I can steal the energy from those who are sick or injured." said Jadeite.
"Very well and make sure it's not a failure." said Queen Beryl.
Jadeite sent his monster to a random island… ironically, it was the next stop for the Straw Hats.
"Yay Land!" said Usagi and Luffy happily.
Nami went to get some info on the log pose, Chopper went to restock on medical supplies, Sanji went to re-stock the food, mostly meat and sweets, Luffy and Usagi with Luna went to explore the island while the rest watched the ship.
While Luffy and Usagi were exploring something happened…
"It's Monkey D. Luffy!" shouted a voice.
Both Luffy and Usagi turned around and saw the marines. Usagi picked up Luna and both ran for their lives.
"Is going to happened a lot?" asked Luna.
"Probably" said Luffy.
"Yeah Luffy has a bounty of 100,000,000 berries." said Usagi.
Luna's mouth dropped, she was worried for the Straw Hats getting hurt form the Youma now she was that she and Usagi would wind up getting it worse from the marines.
"You didn't know Luffy has a bounty?" asked Usagi.
Luna shook her head no, Luffy then replied "So do Zoro and Robin"
Yep, the Straw Hats were in less danger from the Youma than the Marines.
As they were running blindly, a girl about Usagi's age with short blue hair saw their dust trail. She looked to see who was being chased she saw the familiar face form the wanted posters, however she didn't care whether or not they were from the wanted posters she felt like he needed help.
"Hey over here!" she called out.
Both Usagi and Luffy noticed her. She led them to a bunch of garbage cans.
"Where is he?" asked a marine.
"I think he went that way!" said the girl pointing in a random direction.
"Thanks" said another marine.
When they were gone Usagi and Luffy poked their heads from behind the garbage cans.
"Thanks." said Luffy.
"Yeah" said Usagi.
"It was no problem." said the girl.
"We should tell the others the Marines are here." said Usagi.
"I remember Nami went to see how long it takes to set the log pose, Sanji went to get more food and Chopper… what did Chopper went to do again." said Luffy.
"I think get more medical supplies" said Usagi.
"If you're looking for your friend who went to get more medical supplies he probably went to the clinic, there's only one on the whole island. I work there want to come with me?" asked the girl.
"I'll go!" said Usagi.
"Okay and I'll find Sanji!" said Luffy.
Luna began to sweat drop, Luna looked at the girl, she had an odd feeling about her. So she deiced to go with Usagi. On the way they talked.
"So you're a member of the Straw Hats?" said the girl.
"Yeah I just joined" said Usagi.
"It must be nice traveling the ocean like that." said the girl.
"Yeah it's great." said Usagi.
Luna whispered in Usagi's ear "I have a bad feeling about this girl."
"What kind of bad feeling?" whispered Usagi.
"Did you say something?" asked the girl.
"I said… what your name?" said Usagi covering her tracks.
"Oh I'm Ami, Mizuno Ami" said the girl, Ami.
"I'm Usagi and this is my cat Luna." said Usagi.
"It's nice to meet you" said Ami with a smile.
Meanwhile Chopper had gotten to the clinic, no one was on watch and many people were crying for some reason, all the people being treated were asleep.
"Hello? I'm here to buy medical supplies!" said Chopper coming to the desk.
A woman saw him, "Are you the doctor?" asked the woman.
"I'm a doctor." said Chopper.
"Good enough", the woman grabbed chopper by the hoof and dragged him to the bed where a man with a cast on his arm was a sleep. "He hasn't woken up since we got here… which was yesterday. All he did was break his arm. I'm very worried" said the woman.
Chopper began to look at him until he heard yelling "Wow it's a walking reindeer doll! Can I play mommy? I can I play? Whee!" said the voice. Chopper turned around saw a little girl.
"This is one reason I'm worried, he has always woken up whenever my daughter is around him sleeping" said the woman.
Chopper sweat dropped, thinking the little girl might have ADD, but shrugged it off and continued his emanation. Before he could say something, Ami and Usagi came into the clinic.
"Excuse me? Who are you what are you doing here?" asked Ami.
"Sorry, it's my fault there was no one around so I asked this little reindeer doctor if he could check my husband out." said the woman.
"You mean it's real that's so cool!" said the little girl.
"I'm just here for medical supplies…" said Chopper with a sweat drop.
"Oh, sure thing. What do you need?" Said Ami. Chopper handed her a list , she went into the cupboard and got the item on the list "Free of charge."
"Thanks." Said Chopper, he then noticed that his shipmate was there.
"Chopper…" said Usagi, she whispered in his ear, "The Marines are in this island, we have to get back to the ship."
"Okay." replied Chopper, "Thanks again."
And the two left with Luna in tow. Ami watched them leave.
"Ami…" said a voice.
She turned around and saw a woman "What was that reindeer doing here?" said the woman.
"He just wanted medical supplies. One of the patients loved ones ask him to see if there was anything wrong with him" said Ami.
"Never let other doctors check up on the patients…" said the woman.
"Yes ma'am" said Ami.
"Oh did you give him the medical supplies free of charge?" asked the woman.
"Yes I did." said Ami.
"Excellent" said the woman.
Not too long later Usagi, Chopper and Luna got onto the ship to find Luffy bothering Sanji.
"Come on I'm hungry… can't you make dinner early?" asked Luffy.
"You just ate lunch an hour and half ago…" said Sanji.
Usagi tripped while getting on deck, cut her knee, and of course began to cry.
"Usagi!" yelled Luna over the crying.
"I'm going to see her knee!" yelled Chopper over the crying.
Chopper looked at her knee, it was a small cut but so that it wouldn't get infected he put a ban-aid over it… one he just bought from the clinic. It began to glow and Usagi fainted.
"Oh no! Usagi!" cried Sanji.
Chopper began to look at her, it was just like the man at the clinic, very odd.
"Cool, the ban-aid is glowing!" said Luffy.
"Luffy how can a ban…" said Nami but then noticed the ban-aid was glowing too, "Yeah the ban-aid is glowing"
Luna got a good look at it, "Take it off now!" she yelled.
"What?" asked Chopper.
"It's sucking her energy take it off now!" said Luna.
Luffy was about to take it off with his hands which is a bad idea. "Not like that Luffy!" yelled Luna but it was to late the captain did it with his hands and got his energy drained too.
"That idiot" muttered Nami.
Meanwhile in the clinic Ami was looking at the daughter of the man Chopper checked earlier. For some reason she had just passed out and her mother doesn't know why.
"This illness is very odd…" thought Ami, "I wonder where the doctor keeps disappearing to" she said.
With the woman who is the doctor, she was holding a ball of glowing stuff, it was energy.
"Medica, how are things going?" asked Jadeite who appeared to her.
"Fine… however I saw a strange deer like person… I think it maybe the Straw Hats doctor." said Medica, the doctor woman/ Youma.
"Hm… looks like we have chosen the wrong island… what is going on with that assistant?" asked Jadeite.
"She still has no clue." said Medica.
"When she does get a clue drain her dry." said Jadeite getting the energy from Medica.
"Right sir." said Medica.
Back on the Merry Go, Chopper managed to get the ban-aid off with out touching it by using tweezers. After about 20 minutes the two finally woke up.
"What happened?" asked Usagi.
"The ban-aid was tool by the enemy." said Luna.
"The marines?" asked Usagi.
Everyone but Luffy anime fell, "Not that enemy!" they yelled.
"Your enemy…" said Zoro.
"Oh yeah…" said Usagi.
"I just remembered something." Said Nami, she whacked Luffy in the head for being stupid.
"Ow what was that for?" said Luffy.
"Next tine before you something like listen to Luna." said Nami.
Luna cleared her throat, "As I was saying, you got that ban-aid from the clinic, right?" said Luna, Chopper nodded, "I knew I had a bad feeling about her…" said Luna.
"Wait are you saying Ami is behind this?" asked Usagi, Luna nodded.
"Who's Ami?" asked Luffy.
"She's the girl who help us escape the marines." said Usagi.
"Oh… how can she be bad!" said Luffy.
"I know she helped you out but I had a feeling about her…" said Luna then noticed that Luffy and Usagi were talking to each other and not paying attention to her. "Um… hello?"
The two ran off in a random direction.
"If I know Luffy, he's probably going to try to prove she's not a bad person." said Nami.
"Usagi went along with him…" said Luna running after them.
"I'm coming too!" said Chopper fallowing them.
After 10 minutes after the talking cat and reindeer caught up, they got to the clinic.
"So what's the plan." asked Luna.
"Well…" said Luffy.
"We are going to go in ask her about it." said Usagi.
Luna slapped herself in the forehead with her paw. "I should have known" she muttered.
All 4 entered the clinic, to fine Ami banging someone.
"May I help you… oh Hi Usagi, Luffy… um I didn't' catch your name." said Ami.
"It's Chopper" said Chopper.
Ami finished bandaging up the man when just collapsed.
"Not again…" said Ami, "Why does this keep on happening!"
"Hm… another man fell into the sleep" said Medica coming into the room then noticed Luffy, "You!" she shouted pointing at Luffy.
"What about me!" said Luffy?
"You're the captain of the pirate crew who has been running our plans!" said Medica.
"Whose plans?" said Luffy.
"Our plans to get the energy of the world!" said Medica transforming into a witch.
"Oh that!" said Luffy.
Luna wanted to slap him the head, even Usagi figured it out before did, however Usagi was busy with something else.
"Come on say it!" said Usagi.
"No… it's not the time" said Luna.
"Say it or I won't transform!" said Usagi.
"You were right…" sighed Luna.
"Okay, Moon prism Power Make-Up!" said Usagi. Usagi began to her long transformation.
While she was transforming Medica, looked at Ami and grabbed her, "I'll deal with you first then the rubber brained boy" she smiled.
A mark appeared on Ami's forehead, it was green, it had a cross with a heart on top with antae coming out of it.
"That mark!" said Luna.
"What is it?" asked Chopper.
"She's a Sailor Senshi!" said Luna.
Medica was having a hard time with Ami so she threw her down to the ground. Her arm turned into a giant needle.
"Chopper I hate to ask but…" said Luna.
"Help fight this monster, no problem since Usagi's still transforming…. And Luffy enjoys watching it." said Chopper, Luffy was indeed enjoying the light show caused by Sailor Moon's transformation.
Chopper transformed into his large form and punched Medica sending her to ground. Meanwhile Lung did a back flip, which produced a blue pen. She went over to Ami who was still on the ground.
"Ami!" said Luna.
"You can talk…" said Ami.
"Yes, take this pen and called out Mercury Power Make-Up!" said Luna.
Ami grabbed the pen and was about to call it out when suddenly Medica got up and shot a needle at Ami, she nearly dodged.
"Shoot!" said Medica.
"Stop right there!" said a fully transformed Sailor Moon.
"So you're Sailor Moon." said Medica.
"That's right and on behave of the moon I shall punish you!" said Sailor Moon.
"Now Ami!" said Luna.
"Right, Mercury Power Make-up!" said Ami.
She began to transform like Sailor Moon, it was blue instead of pink and much shorter was well.
"She's a Sailor Senshi too!" said Usagi.
"Cool!" yelled Luffy.
"Why is her transformation shorter?" asked Chopper.
Luna shrugged "I don't know"
When the much shorter transformation was over, Ami worse the same outfit, except the blue on the skirt and color was a slightly lighter shade of blue, her ribbons were sky blue and on her tiara was a blue gem instead of red.
"Sailor Mercury! Call out Shabon Spray!" said Luna.
"Okay… Shabon Spray!" said Sailor Mercury.
Bubbles formed into her hands, when she shot it out a heavy fog rolled in, somehow Luffy, Chopper, Luna and the two Sailor Senshi can see though it, but Medica couldn't.
"Where are they?" she said, she saw something move though the fog so she attacked, it was a mirror.
"Gum Gum Pistol!" shouted a voce behind her and was knocked down once again.
The fog cleared and Sailor Moon used her tiara on Medica, which turned to stone and disappeared into dust.
"All right!" said Sailor Moon as she began to celebrate finding a Sailor Senshi, Luffy and Chopper who went back to his smaller form.
Everyone who had been affected by the energy drain began to wake up, including the little girl.
"Wow it's Sailor V!" said the little girl.
"It's not Sailor V, that's Sailor Moon." explained Sailor Mercury.
"Miss Ami, why are dressed like that?" asked the little girl.
"It's hard to explain." said Sailor Mercury.
Meanwhile Jadeite energy ball disappeared, he turned to his crystal ball, "So they won again… and a new one has shown up…" he growled he had noticed something interesting during the fight as well, something he needed to for himself.
The next day on the Merry Go, The Straw Hats were waiting for someone. Nami was eager to get on the road… err, sea.
"Where is she!" said Nami.
"I think she'll be here soon" said Luna.
The person they were waiting for popped, up… then newest recruit to the Straw Hats, Mizuno Ami.
"Sorry it took so long, I had to show the new doctor where everything was stored." said Ami.
"It doesn't matter…" said Sanji who ran up to her and grabbed her hand, with eye that was visible turned into a pink heart.
Ami blushed not knowing how to react.
"Pervert." Mutter Zoro.
"What was that?" said Sanji.
Then the name-calling began.
"Sea weed head"
"Curly brow"
Ami was surprised, "You better used to it, it's going to happen all the time."
"What else should I get used to?" asked Ami.
Usagi didn't know what to say, "I think its better you find out on your own…" she said.
Ami just stood there blinking not knowing what she meant.
Next Time: Jadeite comes up with a plan that will get rid of both the Sailor Senshi and Straw Hats, which he's going to so personally. Meanwhile Luna's begging to think there is more the Devil Fruits then meets the eye. And also both Usagi and Ami gets new items that will help them, two senshi related one... so that Usagi will actually help in fights against the marines and other pirates.
