Sailor Moon: The Return of Queen Beryl-part 2
By: Serena-chan

Hey everyone! Hope you like the fic so far! I was gonna try to make this thing only 6 chapters long, but it looks like it will be longer!
All the character's thoughts will be in bold and any author's notes will be in (parentheses).
Disclaimer: Still don't own 'em.
PART TWO:

"No," wailed Usagi, "I don't wanna go!"

The girls had just arrived at the amusement park. After paying their admission, Makoto had dragged them all off to look at the new roller coaster. When they got there and saw how tall and fast it was, Usagi started crying and saying she was too scared to get on.

"Will you stop being such a big crybaby, Usagi," said Rei angrily, "it's just one lousy roller coaster. Just a few minutes and it'll all be over."

"But it's so big," Usagi said in between sobs, "and it's too scary!"

"Come on Usagi," Makoto coaxed, "after this we'll ride whatever you want."

"Yeah, Usagi," Minako said, "it's a lot less scary than facing Mistress Nine or the Black Moon and both times you fought bravely."

"That was only because I had to," Usagi said, but she stopped wailing, "all right, I'll go, but if I get scared it's all your fault!"

By this time they were nearly to the front of the line and Rei handed the park attendant some tickets. When the carts pulled up, Rei, Minako, and Ami climbed into one cart, and Molly and Mokoto (both half-dragging Usagi) climbed into another.

Usagi whimpered and clutched Mokoto's arm as the carts slowly lurched forward, climbing up high in the air. When they reached the top the carts suddenly hurtled forward. They went through a series of loops, spins, and twists with Usagi screaming all the way.

When the ride ended everyone filed out, or almost everyone. Makoto tried to but Usagi was still clutching her arm with her eyes squeezed shut and wailing.

"Usagi?" Makoto screamed, trying to be heard over Usagi's wailing, "Usagi?! USAGI, THE RIDE IS OVER!!" Usagi stopped wailing and opened her eyes.

"Was that it?" she asked, "That wasn't to bad. Let's go on it again!" The other girls just rolled their eyes and dragged her off to the water park.

Meanwhile, back with Luna and Artemis...

"Artemis!" Luna screamed, "My computer has just detected a strong evil force somewhere in the city!"

"Where is it coming from?" Artemis questioned.

"My computer says it's coming from the Tokyo Amusement Park!"

"Oh no, that's where the girls are! We've gotta go and warn them!"

________________________________________________________________________________

"Boy, am I tired!" Minako moaned.

The girls were taking a break from riding rides, and were stretched out on a couple of benches eating ice cream cones.

"Hey," Rei said, "what's that over there?"

She pointed at a ride that was made to look like an old haunted house. It had a track for carts leading into it, but there was a rope blocking the path. On the rope hung a sign, it said "Spook House closed for construction."

"That's the new spook house." Molly answered, "It's taking longer than they expected to build it so it's not open to the public yet."

As the girls were looking at the ride, a man with blond hair came out. He was dressed in the park uniforms and he was carrying a sign. He took the old sign and the rope down. He then hung the new sign up above the entrance. It said: "Spook House now open to the public."

"All right!" Mokoto cheered, "You guys wanna go ride it?"

"Sure why not?" Rei said.

They got in the line that was already beginning to form outside the ride. The man pulled a switch and some carts came out on the tracks. The girls handed in their tickets and stepped onto the platform. Minako, Makoto, and Ami climbed into the front row of one of the carts. Rei, Usagi, and Molly climbed into the back row.

They waited until all the other carts were full. The man then came to inspect their safety belts.

He looks familiar, Usagi thought, It seems like I've seen him someplace before.

Soon, the man reached their cart and he tugged on their safety belts making sure they were tight enough. "Gotta make sure their good and tight," he said with a wink, "wouldn't want any of you ladies to fall out."

Even his voice is familiar! Usagi thought as she watched him go to the other carts.

"Rei," Usagi whispered, so Molly wouldn't hear, "doesn't that guy look awfully familiar to you?"

"Yeah, he does," Rei replied in a worried tone, "and I'm getting major Nega-vibes from him!"

The man pulled the switch and the rides lurched forward into the Spook House. Usagi clutched her seat nervously, bracing herself for whatever lay ahead.

Soon however, she began to relax. There was nothing evil about this spook house. It seemed normal to her, with its creepy music and dim lights. What could possibly go wrong?

Her question was answered as the music stopped and the lights went completely out. There was a horrible screeching noise as the carts were torn from the track and hurtled in the air. Over all the screaming she could hear a high, cold laugh.

The carts landed with a crash in what looked like a dimly lit underground tunnel. Several seconds went by and nothing happened. Finally, some people got out to inspect the tunnel.

Suddenly, the man appeared. Right before their eyes he transformed into his true self.

"Oh my God!" Minako screamed, "It's Jedite!"

"Smart girl," Jedite sneered, "you finally figured it out."

He began to laugh again as he raised his hands over his head and light grew between his fingers. Usagi could feel the energy being pulled from her body. She looked around and saw that several people had collapsed, including Molly.

Her legs buckled under her. She strained to reach her transformation brooch. The other girls followed suit.

Gathering the remainder of her energy she shouted, "Moon Cosmic Power, Make UP!"

"Mercury Star Power, Make UP!"

"Mars Star Power, Make UP!"

"Jupiter Star Power, Make UP!"

"Venus Star Power, Make UP!"

Usagi felt her strength returning as her sailor uniform appeared. When she opened her eyes, the other senshi were finished transforming, too.

"Well, if it isn't the Sailor Brats." Laughed Jedite. "Long time, no see."

"Why are you here anyway, Jedite?" Sailor Venus shouted, "I thought we destroyed you!"

"That's for me to know and you to find out, brats." Jedite countered.

"We're not letting you get away with this, Jedite," Sailor Moon shouted, "I stand for love and justice! I'm Sailor Moon! In the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!"

Usagi reached up and grabbed her tiara. "Moon Tiara Action!" she shouted.

Jedite dodged the tiara easily and shot some of the energy he had collected at her.

She tried to jump out of the way, but the energy was too fast and it sent her hurtling into the stone wall.

"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Mercury shouted. The other senshi saw her attack and joined in.

"Venus Love Me Chain!"

"Burning Madala!"

"Sparkling Wide Pressure!"

Jedite tried to dodge but they were too fast.

"No!" he screeched as their attacks hit him full blast. He struggled to regain his balance. "No, I cannot be defeated yet!" he cried.

Suddenly Queen Beryl's words returned to him. "The Yokoshima Stone will increase your powers greatly. However, you are only to use the stone itself as a last resort."

He reached in his pocket and pulled out the stone. It began to glow an eerie gray. Jedite felt power rush through his veins, power that he had never felt before.

"Now I will finish you!" he hissed. He raised his hand and energy shot from it.

Usagi screamed as pain ripped through her. She could hear the other senshi screaming. She had to do something, but she didn't have any strength left. Tuxedo Mask was their only hope now! Momo-chan, where are you? Usagi thought as she blacked out.
