Episode 13 : The Lost Sailor Senshi is a Noble Enemy.

A very miffed Dark SuperSailormoon made her way through the hallways of the 'Eternal Palace', her long ponytails swinging to the beat of her clicking heels on the newly waxed floor. She spotted Kinsen leaning against one of the beams staring at her with his usual conceited grin. "Why so chagrined?" he inquired. "That hothead Triton-baka has summoned me, apparently he has another job for me. I completed my contract already, so I think I'll just have to mess him up a bit," the dark senshi shook her fist to emphasize her point.

Kinsen eyes widened, "Iie! Don't do that!" Dark Moon lifted one ebony eyebrow, "He might take away your bracelet!"

Dark Moon put on a cute face and leaned up against Kinsen, batting her eyelashes, "Oh sweetie, you do care!" Then she rolled her eyes and straightened up, "Oh I see what it is, you think that he'll give you the job instead and you'll have to take time away from your new toy."

"Uh yeah, that's it! I have to be going, good luck!" Kinsen retreated to the shadows.

"Hmmm...that was strange, I wonder what's with him," Dark SuperSailormoon pondered as she made her way to the throne room. She threw open the iron doors as is they were made of Styrofoam and marched in. "What is this about Triton-SAMA?!"

"Ah, there you are. The master wants you to capture the other senshi, including Tuxedo Kamen and that new one. He said that the new one should vulnerable, so attack her first," he ordered, not even bothering to glance up from his glass of oil. He waved his hand to dismiss her, but she didn't budge.

"No," she replied simply.

Triton finally looked up with rage in his eyes. He stood up which created an intimidating sight, but Dark SuperSailormoon stayed firm, "You dare defy the master and me!?" he bellowed.

"Excuse me, SIR, but I made a deal with SuperSailorsaturn and promised her that I would not harm the new senshi," Dark SuperSailormoon snapped.

"Who cares?" he replied.

Dark Moon narrowed her eyes into slits, "I do, I'm no liar," she said with deadly calm.

Triton scowled at her for several moments, and then he smirked, "fine, you just work on finding the other senshi and capturing them. I'll deal with the little one," Dark SuperSailormoon bowed on knee before making her way out, //once that insolent girl finishes her job she's expendable.// He laughed mentally, as Dark Moon exited the large doors slamming behind her.

//Fool, I guess he forgot about my telepathic ability, I'll deal with him soon enough.// A malicious grin crossed Dark SuperSailormoon's face as she headed for the portal room.

"Oi Brainiac! What's wrong, can't figure out how to get your books back?" The burly boy who had been nicknamed Butch smiled with malicious glee as he tossed Ami's book bag to another one of his gang, a tall lanky boy who dangled the book right out of Ami's reached. She jumped up and down in a vain attempt to reclaim her book. The 5 bullies tossed the book amongst themselves, always just out of reach of the young genius. She begged them to give it back but this only made them laugh harder. Suddenly Butch was knocked down just as the book bag was coming to him. It was intercepted by a young woman who then snarled at the boys.

"I think you should apologize, then pick up your sorry asses and get the hell out of here!" she commanded.

"Oh yeah?" Butch said as he got up, "Make me." The girl made no verbal reply, instead she gave Butch a left hook right in the face that sent him crashing into a stand of fruit. Realizing what had just happened. Butch's gang ran over and picked up their unconscious friend. They sprinted down the street screAming sorry over and over until their voices faded.

"Here you go," the girl said, handing the bag back to Ami, "it looks like we go to the same school!"

Ami finally snapped back to reality and realized that the girl indeed was wearing the Juuban High School uniform. The girl was tall, as tall as Makoto! Her raven hair was worn up in a very low ponytail that was held together by a maroon colored disk that brought out the Maroon tones in her hair. The ponytail was long, to her ankles! It hung over the girl's right shoulder. Her fair skin wonderfully contrasted with her hair and large jet black eyes, but the look was quite beautiful with the girl's maroon colored lipstick. On her feet were a pair of short black lace up boots and the white of her socks just peeked over. The girl also wore black rimmed glasses that now rested on her head. In one hand she held her own bag while the other was extended out offering Ami her bag. "Arigato," Ami whispered shyly, even more so then usual as she took the bag. The girl's height was quite intimidating. //I'm being silly, you'd think I'd be used to tall girls by now with all the time I spend with Makoto.// Ami noticed that the girl seemed hurt and had begun to walk slowly away. "Oh wait!" the girl whipped her head around to look back at Ami, "Gomen nasaii, I was being ungrateful. You are new, yes?" the girl nodded, "well I guess you probably won't know your way around yet, if we hurry we can go around on a quick tour. Then you can meet my friends! I think you'll like my friend Mako-chan, she's tall, gets in to fights a lot..."

The girl laughed, "gee sounds like someone I know!"

Ami laughed as well, "and if you don't have enough lunch, Mako-chan makes the greatest food in the Juuban district!" Ami walked up so that she was alongside the new girl.

The girl's ears perked up, "food? I like her already! By the way, what's your name?"

"Oh how rude of me, My name is Mizuno Ami. Pleased to meet you, um?"

"Yomenamoakarui Ada, pleased to make your acquaintance."

Ami gawked at Ada as she raised her hand yet again. This was calculus and Ada was solving the problems in mere seconds! The teacher had barely finished reading the problem before Ada knew the answer to it! The teacher noticed the raised hand and his shoulders slumped, "anyone?"

"Um hello? My hand is raised here!" Ada called out impatiently and Ami smacked her forehead. The teacher dropped the books on the table with aloud thud and glared at Ada. "Yes I know...Yomenamoakarui Ada is it? Well I don't know what you learned at your last school, but here we treat others with respect. You are not the only student in this class. Others are trying to LEARN. Now I can see you understand the material so if you would please give the other students a chance to answer?" Ada slowly pulled her hand down and pouted.

Ami jumped as she was hit in the nose be a crumpled piece of paper. She uncrumpled it and found that it was a note from Ada that read 'What's with him?!' then there was also a crude drawing of their teacher with some sort of animal coming out of him. The animal was dead, indicated by x's for his eyes. Suddenly Ami realized the joke and burst out laughing so hard her eyes began to water. "May I ask what's so funny Ami-kun?" Ami suddenly realized that everyone was looking at her and her face turned crimson.

"Um Sorry, I was...just thinking of a funny joke you made about x's and y's!"

The other students groaned but Ami got the desired effect, smiled from behind his too-big glasses, "Well I do try, but you should still pay attention." Then he began to talk about another problem. Ami was trying to listen but suddenly she was struck by another paper ball. This one also had a stick figure of their teacher, but instead of a creature coming out his but, it had a picture of Ami, that could only be distinguished by blue inked hair and red inked face, kissing his but. Ami's face deepened a view shades, but then she got a sly grin. You could practically see the light bulb appear over her head. She ripped a piece of paper out of her notebook, wadded it into a ball and flicked it at the unsuspecting Ada. The ball bounced of Ada's nose and landed on her disk shaped ponytail holder. Ada looked surprised but then she also got a sly expression. She pulled yet another piece of paper out of her notebook, formed a ball and flicked it back at Ami. The two girls began launching a barrage of paper balls at each other. One time Ami's missed and hit one of the boys. The boy retaliated by sending one back, but it hit the wrong girl. Soon the whole class was involved. Paper balls were flying everywhere while the whole time kept his back to the class as he demonstrated a problem. He remained oblivious until a stray ball hit his head and sent his bad toupee airborne. He whipped around mad as a hornet.

"Class!" he shouted. Everyone stopped to look at their teacher. Soon the entire classroom was howling in laughter. His face took on a tomato red as he screamed, "stop it now! Who started this nonsense!" A whole classroom of fingers directed his attention to two giggling girls, one with aqua hair and another with ebony. "Ami-kun and Ada-kun!" the two girls silenced, "detention after school!"

"Oi Ami-chan!" Usagi, Minako, and Makoto greeted.

"Konichiwa minna," Ami replied as she took her seat, "Gomen, but I will be late for study group."

"Yeah me to," Usagi groaned, "I have detention...again. My mom's gonna kill me."

Ami blushed in embarrassment, "I also have detention." 4 jaws dropped as the girls stared bug-eyed at their scholarly friend. The blood rose to Ami's cheeks as the others awaited an explanation, "Well...um...you see...," Ami began to stutter.

"Ami, you wouldn't happen to have anything to do with all that noise I heard coming from your calculus class would you?" Makoto raised a suspicious eyebrow. When Ami's face darkened several shades Makoto knew she had hit it right on the nose. Then Ami's complexion returned to normal and she began waving to someone. The other girls looked to see who she was waving to and saw a tall raven haired girl approaching them.

"Hey Ami-chan," the girl greeted as she set her lunch down and took a seat beside Ami, "Oi minna!!"

"Konichiwa Ada-chan," Ami replied, "This is Tsukino Usagi, Aino Minako, and Kino Makoto." Ami motioned to each girl respectively and Ada nodded in understanding.

"Konichiwa Ada-san," the rest of the group chorused.

"So Ami," Usagi prodded eager to know what had landed her friend in trouble, "what did you do to get detention?"

"I'm afraid that's my fault," everyone turned to listen to Ada, "you see I kept passing notes to Ami-chan and I sort of teased her. She retaliated by flicking a paper ball at me, and before you knew it, the whole classed was locked in a paper war." Ada then began unpacking her lunch. It was huge! The girls stared in disbelief, well in Usagi's case longing, at the enormous amount of food. These stares became even stronger as she devoured the food in the amount of time it takes a person to blink. Noticing the stares, Ada looked up and said defensively, "What! a Girl's gotta eat!" This set the other four girls into a frenzy of howling laughter that was silenced by the sound of a rumbling stomach. Three heads immediately swiveled to look at Usagi who shrugged, "wasn't me."

"It's me," Ada squeaked as her cheeks turned red.

"But you just ate a mountain of food!" Usagi exclaimed, this seemed outrageous even to her.

Makoto smiled, "here you can have some of my lunch," she offered as she deposited a heap of food before their new friend.

Ada inhaled the scent and savored it for a moment before making it disappear, "Oh my God! This is the best thing I've ever tasted!"

After gawking for several minutes Ami exclaimed, "I think we've found someone who can compete with Usagi-chan!" This resulted in another round of laughter.

Ada yawned, detention had been pretty uneventful, except for when the occupants of the entire room nearly fainted when Ami walked in. Ada glanced over at her new friend who was chatting with Usagi as they walked home. It felt nice to have friends. Ami, Makoto, Minako, and...well Ada didn't like Usagi. She was too spoiled, spastic, and something else that Ada couldn't quite put her finger on. Whatever it was, Ada had instantly disliked the odango haired girl. //Maybe it's cause she jocked off my hairstyle.// Ada thought to herself with a laugh. Ada winced, Usagi was wailing about something again. //She's so whiney!//

"I forgot Chibi-usa-chan!" Usagi moaned. Then she took off in a mad dash with Ami and Ada in tow. Soon Ada was in the lead, way in the lead. "What was she, a cheetah in another life!" Usagi huffed as she and Ami tried to catch up.

"Oi Ada-chan wait up!" Ami wasn't sure if at this distance, in this crowd, Ada would be able to hear her. But she did. Ada stopped and looked behind her. She blushed when she realized that her friends were meters behind her. "Gomen, I thought you were right behind me," Ada apologized as soon as the two out of breathe girls caught up to her.

"Okay, well there's Chibi-usa-chan's school right over there," Usagi said between breathes as she pointed across the street.

The trio dashed across the street and found Chibi-usa outside, tapping her foot impatiently. Ada gasped, the flamingo haired girl looked very familiar.

"Where were you Usagi!" Chibi-usa snapped. Steam came out of Usagi's ears, and a fight broke out.

As Ami tried to calm down the two Ada could only stare in shock. //That's the new senshi, I'm sure of it// Suddenly Ada noticed the brooch Usagi was wearing, it to looked familiar. //Usagi's EternalSailormoon! Well I guess that explains why I disliked her so much. Suddenly an uneasy thought crossed her mind, she looked at Ami. She now noticed that Ami looked remarkably like SuperSailormercury. //And Makoto and Minako...they must be SuperSailorjupiter and SuperSailorvenus! I don't want to hurt my friends! But a job's a job, and if they take away my bracelet I'll die!// Ada just stood motionlessly, except for playing with her bracelet nervously. Then something else caught her eye. It disappeared into the shadows quickly, but Ada was sure. //Triton-sama, well maybe I WILL fight alongside my new friends today.// Ada made sure that the others were still distracted by arguing before she silently slipped away.

Ada ducked into an alley and once she knew she was alone she pulled up her sleeve, exposing her golden bracelet. She held her bracelet clad hand high in the air and shouted her transformation phrase, "Super Moon Prism Power, Come to me!" A flash of black, gray and maroon, and then stood Dark SuperSailormoon, wand in hand and ready for battle.

"You need to learn to be more patient!" Usagi spat.

Ami rubbed her temples in frustration, she still had a lot of studying to do. "Well you need to learn to be more punctual!" Chibi-usa screamed.

"Punctual?! Quit making up words brat!" Usagi shouted. Ami and Chibi-usa face vaulted.

"Is this a private conversation?" Triton appeared from nowhere and moved in a way that can only be described as a strut...even with the tail. Usagi and Ami cowered yet Chibi-usa sat transfixed by the merman's good looks and charm. "Konichiwa bishoujo, my name is Triton, what's yours" The merman floated towards Chibi-usa his hand held out in greeting. His advance was halted however when Usagi stepped between the two. Her eyes informed all that she meant business. Triton was unfazed, he smiled disarmingly and rested his hand down at his side, "Hmmm well that makes it official...Sailor Soldier!" He flicked Usagi away and pulled a navy blue triton from the air. As Usagi and Ami reached for their transformation items he aimed the triton directly at Chibi-usa, "Sea of..." Commander Triton was cut off mid-sentence as he found himself being showered with a barrage of razor sharp playing cards.

"Gomen Trity-baby, but I wouldn't be doing to good a job of keeping my promise if I let you capture that girl's soul now would I? Besides you planning to bump me off once I've captured the other Sailor Senshi doesn't sit with me two well," Dark SuperSailormoon, "I don't go back on my promises, especially not because of slime balls like you!"

Usagi's eyes widened //if she believes in staying true to her promises she can't possibly be truly evil! I knew it! No Sailor Senshi can be evil at heart.//

Dark SuperSailormoon removed her tiara and sent it flying to earth with a twirl. The tiara hit the ground and splintered into several smaller tiaras.

Ami observed, her curiosity awakening. //This attack obviously won't be able to harm Triton, her powers to dispersed...so why?// She watched as Triton frantically tried to escape the energy disks that bombarded him. He'd dodge one and ten more would be right there to greet him. Ami noticed that Dark SuperSailormoon was concentrating very hard to keep the attack focused on Triton. Suddenly it dawned on her //she's trying to buy us time!// "Usagi-chan, Chibi-usa-chan, let's go!" Usagi nodded and grabbed Chibi-usa's wrist and dragged the transfixed child off.

"Damn!" Triton roared as he watched his prey escape. He turned his scornful gaze on Dark SuperSailormoon, "I should have known you'd be trouble! The Master will hear of this insubordination!" he barked as he escaped from her trap into a portal.

Dark SuperSailormoon's eyes never left the spot as the tiara became one and clunked to the ground. Her eyes narrowed, "hmmmm...."

A figure sat enthroned in the shadows, his toe tapped impatiently as he waited for Triton to report. Triton knelt before him, head bowed, as he chose his words. "The Lost Sailor Senshi, it was a mistake to trust her. Once a traitor, always a traitor."

"That's nonsense, you'll just have to teach her some discipline. The fact is we need her to capture the sailor team for us. She knows them well. Now if she refuses to capture the pink haired one, fine. Something's off about that one anyways. Give her a job she can do...and next time be careful what you think. What if she were to learn some of the information we've been hiding from her?" the figure spoke in hypnotizing tones.

"Yes Master, I'll be more careful," Triton kept his eyes on the floor.

The Master laughed, "good, now be out of my sight!"

"Yes Master," Commander Triton bowed before scurrying away.

"We have to find Ada-chan!" Ami spoke as the trio scoured the streets for there missing friends they bumped into the tall raven haired girl just as she was exiting the arcade.

"There you are!" Ada exclaimed peering down at the three smaller girls, "I went to the bathroom and when I came back you guys were gone! I thought I'd run into you here...although not literally." the now quartet laughed. "Hey what happened anyways?"

"Oh nothing! Nothing at all!" Usagi, Ami, and Chibi-usa replied hastily. Ada nodded but when the other three looked away a knowing smile crossed her face.
