Umm...yet another chapter to this fan ficcie. Please, keep the reviews coming! Okay, I don't own Yoden Sammurai Troopers or Sailor Moon. Now, on with it. By the way, Rita...I like your ideas...bwahahahaha!!!!
Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Setsuna, Usagi, Rei, Ami and Makoto were all at Rei's temple. Rei wore her priestess outfit, the other inner senshi wore their school uniforms, Hotaru wore her school uniform, Setsuna was in her lavender jacket and skirt outfit, Michiru wore a sea green sun dress, and Haruka wore a pair of slacks and a blazer. They were all talking about the situation when Mamoru walked in.
"That's strange. Usagi's usually late." Ami blinked at the late Mamoru.
"..." Mamoru wordlessly took a seat beside of Usagi.
"Ookay." Makoto made a strange face after she studied Mamoru.
"What was the analysis on that piece of metal and the blood from it?" Setsuna asked as she took a sip from her green tea.
"Bad news. There was no analysis." Ami hung her head down.
"What?!" Usagi exclaimed, her head popping up from its place where it was laying on the table.
"That's impossible!" Haruka stated as she slammed her fist on the table, making all the cha cups on the table rattle.
"Completely possible." Ami sighed as she held her mini computer loosely in one hand.
"What are we going to do?" Hotaru quietly asked.
"Just wait and see. That's all we can do." Setsuna put a hand on Hotaru's forearm, trying to comfort her.
Minako woke up the next morning to a sun filled room. She yawned, and sat up in bed. She remembered what happened last night, and started to check her self for any type of injury. She sighed, only finding one small bruise around her wrist, due to Ryo's fingerprints. She glanced over to Ryo, seeing him asleep with his head on his chest. His tiger was curled up at his feet, snoozing as well.
"How cute..." Minako commented quietly. "I guess I'll go downstairs..." Minako got out of bed, and changed back into her school uniform. She brushed her hair, and started to walk out the door. She wasn't expecting to be cut off by one angry white tiger.
"Woah." Minako held both hands up in the air. "Down...thing. I wannna go downstairs. Now, let me out." Minako then started to walk out, but Byacren cut her off, growling. Minako put her hands back up in the air, and started to step back slowly, the tiger advancing on her.
Minako bumped into something solid. A sweat drop rolled down the side of her head as she turned around, and started to poke at it. She looked up, and saw Ryo's face. She blinked, and stopping poking him in the chest. "Where were you planning on going?" Ryo questioned as he looked down to the younger girl.
"I...ahh...umm...downstairs." Minako lost her train of thought. She shook her head when she got it back.
"Then I'll go with you." Ryo nodded.
"Great, but call off your guard dog." Minako motioned to Byacren, whom was now on its haunches and happily licking one paw.
"Ooo...how scary." Ryo rolled his eyes. He then walked out, Byacren walking behind him. Byacren's tail swished one, as if saying 'I'm better then you, so there.' Minako huffed, and followed the two on downstairs.
Rei, Usagi, Ami, and Makoto were all left at the temple. Rei swept, and the rest of the girls sat around, talking. None of them were expecting Kunzite to show up. Rei's broom clattered to the floor, and all of the other senshi looked up in shock.
"And we just thought you were in denial, Usa-chan..." Makoto watched Kunzite. He smugly used an energy blast, splintering the table that the senshi were seated at.
"Mars Eternal Power...Make up!" While Kunzite wasn't paying attention, Rei transformed into her Eternal fuku. She stood, and glared while pointing at Kunzite. "Stop right there! You are disrobing the serenity of a holy place! I can not stand for that!"
"Really?" Kunzite turned away from the other three girls, smirking. "What makes you think that you've got what it takes to stop me?"
"Mars Flame...Sniper!!!" Mars didn't respond to Kunzite. She just used one of her attacks, watching it fly at Kunzite. He held one hand before him, and easily sucked the attack up with black energy.
"Heh. And that's how you think you're going to defeat me?" Kunzite taunted as he fired the attack back at Rei, increasing the strength of the attack by 10 fold. He watched her fly back, and go through several light wooden walls and paper rice doors. Rei lay still, in too much pain to move.
"Rei-chan!" Usagi called out.
"And that's just a sample of what I can do." Kunzite smirked back at the three girls. "I'm back, and I plan on taking care of you all..."
"No you don't!" Makoto stood up to defy Kunzite. She gripped her Eternal Transformation brooch tightly.
"I'm leaving now. None of you are worth my time." Kunzite ran a few fingers through his long, silver hair as a black portal leading back to the Black Moon opened. "I'll come again soon." And with that said, he stepped through the portal.
Minako sat at the table, smoothing her skirt out. She sat in between Touma and Sai again, each one of them glancing at her and blinking. Minako ate break fast in silence. Obviously, Ryo hadn't told anyone about her trying to escape out the window last night. Nasty served breakfast to them all. She wasn't that hungry, so she didn't lick the plates.
Mia cleaned up, and she and Jun went into her computer room, along with Byacren. The rest of them got up, and started to talk to each other, leaving Minako still sitting at the table.
'I'm really out of place.' Minako observed to herself as she looked over the group of older boys. 'It would be okay if Artemis was here. I've never done any sailor senshi duties without him by my side...'
"Hey." Seiji walked over to Minako. Minako stood up, and looked at Seiji. "C'mon over here. We don't bite." Minako nodded, and the two walked back over to the group.
"You know...I'm starting to get a little agitated." Minako used a large word, not too typical of her. "Why am I here? There has to be a purpose, right?"
"Well, I guess we'll stop by Nasty first and let you have this talk with her." Shu shrugged. "I'm sure as heck not explainin'!"
"C'mon then." Touma sighed as he started to walk off, motioning to Minako. "Let's go." Minako followed him, the rest of the boys following Minako.
In the computer room, Nasty was seated before her computer, typing idly. Jun was on the floor, rolling around with Byacren. The group of six walked in, and Nasty looked up from her work. "Hello."
"Excuse me, Nasty-chan..." Minako walked up to Nasty, smiling. At the same time, she felt like taking the katana that was hanging on the wall by her head and running Nasty through with it. 'I don't know where I'm getting all these violent thoughts from...I sorta like 'em.' "I was wondering, why the hell am I here?"
"I was wondering when you would ask that." Nasty grinned.
"Well, explain." Minako sounded impatient.
"Okay." Nasty's fingers flew over the keyboard, a new view screen popping up. It was a picture of Queen Beryl. Minako blinked, her mouth hanging half way opened. "Here's our problem."
"What is she doing back? And what does she have to do with you? She usually only deals with us, the planet senshi..." Minako studied the screen. Suddenly, she wondered who she hated more: Beryl or Nasty. It was a close running.
"That's why we brought you here. We thought that you might know how to defeat her." Nasty smiled.
"You couldn't do it like normal people over a mocha latte at the nearest coffee shop?" Minako grumbled under her breath.
"What was that?" Ryo had heard what Minako really said, but was wondering if the rest did.
Minako cleared her throat. "We fought her once. She supposedly died. How she came back..." Minako shrugged. "...I have no clue."
"Well, then..." Nasty pulled up another, smaller window. This one had a full-body picture of Kunzite on it. "This is someone who works with her."
"Kunzite!" Minako gasped, while blinking. "I thought..."
"You thought wrong." Shu deadpanned.
"If she ever had a thought, it would be a once-in-a-life time experience." Sai joked.
"...hn." Minako sent a dirty glare at Sai, before turning back around to face Nasty.
"How did you defeat her?" Nasty questioned.
"I didn't beat her. Well, I sorta helped. Sailor Moon defeated Queen Beryl. I had died, and my spirit was there to help guide her." Minako informed her as she typed it down.
"Then how are you here?" Seiji questioned.
"I was obviously re-born." Minako shook her head. "I didn't really know them too much before I died. I met them about a week or two before our final battle, but we already had a close bond. I had already been a senshi for a year, under the name Sailor V."
"How was Beryl defeated?" Nasty continued to ask.
"She was defeated by the Silver Imperium Crystal. She was beaten by the same thing in the Silver Millennium." Minako gave a brief explanation.
"What's the 'Silver Imperium Crystal'? What's the 'Silver Millennium'?" Nasty questioned as she continued typing.
"It's sorta confusing. I'll explain it later." Minako decided to save those stories for a different time. She ran a few fingers through her hair, awaiting Nasty's next question.
"So, in a nut shell, answer this one. Can you defeat Queen Beryl?" Nasty questioned, and Minako could feel everyone tense up.
"No. All of the five Inners have to be there. The Outers would help. And then, we discovered that there's an unlimited number of sailor senshi. One of the most up-standing groups the Sailor Stars. Having all of them would help to defeat Queen Beryl easier, most likely." Minako sighed.
"So, we're gonna have to go and get more of your little friends?" Shu glanced at Minako.
"Yea, but they won't come as easy. They've probably got their guard up. I've been getting some strange feelings, so I'm pretty sure that the Dark Moon might have attacked, and my friends have come into contact with it." Minako took a seat on Nasty's desk, smirking. She was full of information that they needed. "And, I assure you, they won't come easily. Even if I'm there, how would they be to know that you aren't forcing me to put on an act?"
"She has a point." Ryo leaned against a wall.
"I know them, and they won't go down without a fight." Minako smiled as she crossed her legs. She looked back to Nasty, and felt as if she had the upper hand. Without her, they wouldn't be able to find out anything. She then got up, and ran a few fingers through her hair as she left.
"Hey!" Sai walked out of the room while Minako walked down the wall. He caught up to her, and grabbed her by the wrist. "Where do you think that you're heading?"
"Well..." Minako shrugged. "Truth be told, no where. What's there to do around here? Nothing that I can think of..." Minako grinned.
Sai couldn't help but let a smile cross his features. "Know how to swim?" Minako nodded at his question. "You wouldn't happen to carry a bathing suit in that bag of yours, would you?" Minako nodded her head 'yes'. "Well then, let's go swimming."
"Sure," Minako chirped as she ran to where the stairs were, and raced up them. She felt like she was brought there on her own free will, because she was so happy that they were actually accepting her instead of turning her away.
