3 minutes later we appeared right outside of Parker Academy. "Ready V?" I asked as she slapped my raised hand "Ready Moon," she replied.

We were about to walk inside the gates, when Mercury and Mars, ran up to us, panting and sweating. They're lucky that none of the sweat got on my outfit. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked. "I thought you were gonna fight off that guy in the park,"

"We were," Mars answered, "but the weirdest thing happened. I was about to throw my fire balls at him, when he disappeared. Just vanished, without a trace."

"Really?" I said, "Well if he shows up again, we'll be ready for him. In the mean time let's go deal with whity tighty in here,"

With that I led my 3 of my best friends to yet another battle.

I could not believe my eyes when we got into that building. It was totally trashed. I'd been there before to drop Rini off, or bring her lunch, and there had a little bit of trash here and there, but it had never looked anything like this Windows smashed, desks overturned, doors missing, walls scorched; It was a complete wasteland "Oh my god," I heard Venus say.

"I know. It's awful,"

" This might be a good reason to split up," Mercury said "We don't know how long it will take to find Jupiter and Rini in this place,"

"Yeah, You're right." I said. "Okay so, you guys go down that way, towards the gym, and I'll take this way to the cafeteria."

"Yeah, that's fine with me Sailor Moon. Except for one thing. Why is it that you get to go to the cafeteria, where there's food?" I knew Mars was gonna ask me that!

"Well that's a good question Mars" I replied in my favorite sweet and sarcastic tone "And it deserves a very good answer. Survey says: I'm THE LEADER AND I SAID SO!!!" aren't I just the sweetest little thing?

"Is that right Sailor Witch?" (She never could take and order) "Well how would you like to be the almighty leader with scorched eyebrows?"

"Oh is that right Sailor Bitch? Well bring it on trick," I said with my arms in the air.

"Nothing between us but air and opportunity" she said as she walked towards me.

It is so lucky for her that Mercury and Venus grabbed us before I whupped her hot little a!

"You guys," Mercury said as she held onto Mars, "cool it! In case you haven't realized we're in the middle of a fight right now. You can slaughter each other later, but if you don't mind I would like to find Rini and Jupiter before the Nega Moon gets a hold of them,"

"Mercury's right. Now do you guys think you can control yourselves for awhile?" Venus asked as she started to let me go.

"I'm fine. How about you, Mars?"

"I'm cool. I can just whup your little behind later,"

"Any time any where. Anyways, can we get this over with, so that I can go home?"

"Yes whiny. So if you see anybody or just need some help, call us on the communicators, okay,"

"Got it. I'll see you guys later,"

"Bye!" they called as they walked down the hall. Leaving me standing there, alone, facing my fears. (Don't you just love my dramatic climax?)

I had been calling out Jupiter and Rini's names for a few minutes when, all of a sudden I got a hunch. I gathered my courage and decided to look inside of the classroom to my right. It was pretty much the same as the others. I was about to leave when I noticed something interesting. It was a really funny looking skeleton. I don't know why it caught my eye, it just did. Anyway, I walked over to it to get a good look at it when the strangest thing happened. It started walking towards me! "Aahhhhhhhh!" I screamed as I started to run for cover.

I was about to jump under a nearby table, when something grabbed my legs. I looked down, and saw that it was a scared, sobbing Rini.

"Rini, what are you doing in here?" I asked her after my heart got back in my chest.

"I (sob), was hiding (sob) from (sob) the bad man," she managed to choke out.

"What bad man?" I asked

"The one with the white hair. He was here when I got to school this morning, and he started blasting everybody with dark lightning. Then everyone started attacking each other. It was horrible,"

"Okay, well let's just walk down and find the others first, let them know we're safe, than we'll get you home,"

"Okay," she sniffed.

I grabbed her hand and started to walk out of the room, then stopped.

"Rini, get your hand off of my neck please,"

"My hands not on you neck,"

"Then whose cold hand is this?"

"I don't know. Besides, I'm too short to reach your neck remember?"

Somehow I just did not want to believe her. But I gathered my courage, lifted my chin, turned around… and saw a white-hared teenager with his around my neck. Well you know what happened next. . . I screamed. And after I finished screaming, I tripped him. Just got on the floor, stuck out my right leg, spun around, and tripped him. Then I grabbed Rini's hand and we ran. We were almost to the end of the hall when he appeared and cut us off. We turned around to run the other way, and saw… him. But with blue hair. To be safe I tried to hide Rini behind my back.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here brother," the white one said.

"I see dear brother. It appears that we have caught one of the legendary Sailor Scouts," the blue one replied.

"Yes, but not just any Sailor Scout. We have the princess Sailor Scout. Ms. Sailor Moon in the flesh."

"Best catch we've had yet. What do you think it would be like to slide inside of her?"

They were both closing in on us. One on each side.

"Excuse me? Just who are you two anyways?"
"Oh I'm sorry Ms. Moon. We've failed to introduce ourselves," the white one said, "Well my name is Gloom, and my brother's name here is Doom."

"Yeah and we'll be molesting you here in a few minutes. And brother I do believe it's your turn to go first." Doom said.

"Thank you brother. I think I'll take you up on that,"

I was too busy trying to hide Rini, to notice much of what they were saying, until Gloom grabbed me by my throat and slammed into the wall.

"I think I'm going to enjoy this," he said as he brought his face closer to mine.

I closed my eyes to wait for what I knew was going to be a slimy kiss. After a couple of seconds when by, I opened my eyes to see Gloom yell from something cutting his arm, causing him to drop me. I looked to the ground expecting to see a rose. I gasped. Oh I saw a rose all right. But it wasn't blood red like I expected. Instead it was a beautiful snowy white. I looked up to the right, and what I saw was, a guy. Just not who I expected. He had gorgeous blonde hair, and was dressed in a black Zorro suit, with a mask to match.

"Who are you?" I choked out.

But he didn't say anything. He just glanced at me and walked out. Well, after throwing enough roses to knock doom and gloom out for a while, that is.

After about 3 minutes of tears from Rini, the sailors (Jupiter included) finally arrived.

"Sailor Moon, is Rini okay?" Jupiter asked.

"Yeah she's fine," their leader answered. "I think she's just trying to recover from the shock. Like I am,"

"What shock Sere? You've seen worse than this before and you always rise with a cool head. What happened?" Venus said.

"Well, that white-hared guy appeared. Along with the same guy that Mercury and Mars were fighting, I think. They said that their names were Doom and Gloom. Anyway, Gloom grabbed me by the neck, and shoved me against the wall, like he was gonna kiss me. Than some guy in a Zorro suit saved me, by throwing a whole bunch of white roses around," Sailor Moon replied.

"A Zorro suit? So it wasn't Tuxedo Mask?" Mars asked.

"No. He was really cute, and he smiled at me. But he didn't say anything. He just walked away,"

"Weird. Hey Luna do you think it could be someone else from the moon kingdom?" Venus asked.

"I don't know. Probably," Luna answered. "But that's the least of your worries right now. I think three of you should try to find these twins, and the other 2 should stay here with Rini. Do you feel up to it Sailor Moon?" she asked.

"Sure Luna. Okay, Mars you and Jupiter come with me, and Venus and Mercury can watch the pipsqueak. Okay?"

"Right!" they replied.

"Let's go."

The 3 scouts cautiously entered the courtyard. Unaware of what was happening behind them. That Gloom and Doom were rising from the ground.

"Where do you think they are Sailor Moon?"

"I don't know Mars. They could be anywhere," the brunette replied.

Then Gloom and Doom ran towards them at full force. Grabbing Sailor Moon and Mars, and slamming them into the wall.

"Well Ms. Moon. I see you brought a friend for us to play with," Doom said as she started to strangle the girl.

"Yeah, and don't worry. We've learned our lesson. We'll just kill you now, instead of bothering with the kissing stuff," Doom said as he squeezed harder on Mars' neck.

Jupiter just stood there, trying to figure out what to do.

If I throw my lightning at them, it might Mars and Sailor Moon. But if I don't do something, they might die anyway. She thought.

I don't believe this, Mars thought This is the way I'm going to die. It can't be. It just can't!

But she knew it was. Her face was turning blue, and her eyes were starting to droop, due to lack of air.

Then… 2 flashes of white. Something that caused the twins to let the girls go. It was 2 white roses.

"Sailor Mars! Sailor Moon! Run!" the stranger said.

The girls reacted quickly. They jumped out of the way as the twins tried to grab them.

"Sailor Jupiter! Now!" the stranger yelled again.

Jupiter sprang into action, launching her newest attack.

"Jupiter Thunder Clap, ZAP!"

The twins were surrounded in a powerful force field of electricity.

"Sailor Moon, your turn!" Jupiter yelled.

"Thanks Jupiter!" Sailor Moon replied as she got out her scepter. "You know Jupiter, you were right. They were kinda cute. But you know the problem with kinda cute guys? They just don't last as long as the really cute ones," she said with a sort of apologetic look on her face.

"Moon Scepter, ELIMINATION!"

Sailor Moon sent her attack to the 2 monstrosity twins, who disappeared into moon dust.

"Okay, that was fun. You guys want to go and get a milk shake or something?" Sailor Moon asked.

"Uh Sailor Moon that sounds like fin and all, but don't you think there's something else we should be dealing with right now?" Jupiter said as she nodded her head in the other direction.

Sailor Moon turned around with a totally confused look on her face, and saw…. The cute stranger that had saved their lives.

"Who are you?" she asked "Why do you keep saving us,"

He gracefully walked over to them and stood nose to nose with Sailor Moon.

"Well I guess as I am now, people should call me 'The Masked Marauder'. But as I usually am, you should call me," he said as he pulled off his.

"Jason!" Sailor Moon finished.
