Part Six--The End is the Beginning is the End
Jadeite stood outside of the theater, looking at his watch and holding a bouquet of flowers he hoped to surprise Mina with. He would've waited inside, but Klausite had been in there, flirting with Steve. Then a car pulled into the parking lot. Another squealed to a stop as the light turned red. Jadeite squinted. Was that Nephlyte? What was he doing here?
"Oh Jed! You look wonderful!" Mina ran to hug him, and they had a bit of a Kodak moment.
"I...uh...bought you these," Jadeite said shyly. He handed her the flowers.
"Oh, thank you, Jed!" She kissed his cheek. Jadeite turned red. Everyone but Jadeite and Mina got sweatdrops.
"Let's go, Chad," Raye said, dragging him to the counter. The ticket person was actually Geri in disguise. "Two for the Spice Girls movie," she said.
"All right, ma'am," Geri replied. "That's nine bucks."
"Chad?"
"Oh...oh yeah..." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ten, a stick of bubble gum, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trading card, and some pocket lint. Darien looked over Chad's shoulder.
"Hey, I don't have that one! I'll trade you for Donatello," he said. Serena tugged his sleeve and gave him a look.
"Steve, you pop that popcorn so well..." gushed Klaus.
"You have a way with the drink machine yourself," Steve replied.
"Hi. We want a large popcorn, two large cokes, Skittles, Junior Mints, a hotdog, and...uh...what do you want, Raye?" Chad asked.
"Small Sprite and a soft pretzel," Raye replied.
"What?" Klaus said ditzily.
"I said, 'Hi. We want a large popcorn, two large cokes, Skittles, Junior Mints, a hotdog, a small Sprite, and a Soft Pretzel.'" Chad shook his head. "Duh..."
"Okay. Coming right up."
Zoisite and Nephlyte parked, and Zoisite ran to the ticket counter.
"May I help you?" asked the lady behind the counter.
"I want a ticket to whatever movie they're seeing," Zoisite said breathlessly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, that's booked solid. Bye!" She slammed down the shade on the ticket window.
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!" She yelled, banging on the window. No answer. Zoisite looked at Nephlyte, who had just caught up with her. She put her hands on her hips, her eyes fixed in a vengeful glare. "Now I'm angry. She..." Zoisite paused for effect. "Is gonna pay. ZOI!" The door shattered just as the last of Serena and her friends got into the theater where they were showing the Spice Girls movie. An evil looking woman was about to lock the door, when Chad burst out the door.
"I, like, have a major need for a toilet break, if you get what I mean." He ran for the bathroom.
"He's not one of them," said the Ticket lady. "Lock it." The other one locked the door.
"SPICE SCOUTS TRANSFORM!" shouted the leader, as three more evil-looking women appeared. "SCARY PRISM POWER!"
Nephlyte and Zoisite couldn't watch.
"What's going on?" Steve screamed.
"I'll save you!" Klaus replied. "To the Negaverse!" Klausite and Steve disappeared.
"Okay, now let's get those Sailors!" said Sailor Ginger. They walked right through the door. Zoisite tried to do the same, but only ended up smacking into it. She tried to Zoi it, but it didn't work.
"C'mon," Nephlyte said, grabbing her arm. He pointed to another door that was open, and let to a staircase. "It goes to the projector room."
"Let's go!" They ran up the stairs.
Meanwhile in the screening room, the battle was just beginning. "I knew it was a trap," Luna sighed.
Serena had a dilemma. If she transformed now, Mike and Jadeite would know who she really was. But if she didn't...
"C'mon, Sailor Moon!" Jadeite yelled at her.
"Huh? Me?"
"Usagi--I mean, Serena, you're wasting time!"
"Okay. MOON PRISM POWER!!" It was a five-way transformation scene, and Jadeite was shocked to see that his beloved Mina was Sailor Venus.
"She's even more beautiful," he whispered in disbelief.
"You don't think you can defeat us, do you?" laughed Sailor Posh. "Billboard top One Hundred SMASH!" she yelled, directing her attack at Sailor Venus. She flew backwards into the seats, and Jadeite ran to her.
"Save yourself, Jadeite," she whispered.
"I'll never leave you!" he replied fiercely.
"I didn't think they could be so powerful..." she drifted off, unable to keep her eyes open.
"Are you dying?" Jadeite asked quickly.
"No, I'm just fainting," she replied. "I'll wake up when the battle is over, and you'll kneel by my side and whine about how you wish you could've helped me until then." She began to collapse then, and Jadeite caught her, lowering her to the ground.
"Oh, Mina, I really really care about you and I wish I could've helped..." he began saying. Meanwhile, Malachite was hiding behind a row of seats, trying to figure out what he could do. He had to help Serena, but how?
Sailor Jupiter decided to attack before they got a chance to attack her. "Jupiter Thunder Crash!" she yelled. Her lighting just barely frizzed Sailor Sporty's hair, but it made her very angry.
"Frizz my hair!? I'll show you! Broken Records Crash!" Lita found herself under attack. She fell over, bleeding from the cuts the broken records left. Her eyes closed and she was unconscious.
"I don't get it! Where are they getting all of that energy?"
Then a little bunny hopped across the movie screen.
"Don't you think this is a little...childish?" Zoisite asked, as Nephlyte used his other hand to make a dog bark at the bunny. The bunny turned into a duck.
"Hah. You're just jealous because you can't make a butterfly!"
"Can too!" A butterfly fluttered across the screen. She then made an obscene gesture in front of the projector.
"You accuse me of being childish," Nephlyte muttered. Zoisite stuck out her tongue.
"Ami! Can you use your goggles to see what's making them so powerful?" called Sailor Moon, in the pause created by the animals on the screen.
"I can try!" Sailor Mercury touched her earring and her glasses zapped over her eyes. "How odd! All I see is hair and designer shoes!"
"You mean, the Spice Scouts are nothing but hair and platforms?" Serena giggled.
"And energy--lots of ener--" she was cut off as a Spice Scout blasted her. Greg ran to see if she was all right.
"I don't understand it. How--" She didn't finish the sentence, as she fainted.
"MARS FIRE IGNITE!" Sailor Mars yelled, but a flaming shoe whacked her in the head and she was unconscious before she could even scream.
"Now would be a good time to save us, Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Moon yelled. The duck and dog on the screen were obstructed by the masked figure that hovered in the air.
"I am the hero that flaps in the night...I am the idiot that forgot to visit the florist!" Tux yelled.
"Stupid Daddy," Rini said, before she, too was blasted.
"As for you, Sailor Moon..." the Spice Scouts said as one.
It's now or never, Malachite thought, creeping towards Serena.
"SPICE SCOUTS UNITE!" Sailor Scary shouted. The Spice Scouts melded into one figure that flashed from Scout to Scout.
"You're dead, Sailor Moon! FIVE BECOME ONE-NNA BE!" They all yelled, and a deadly ball of energy formed in their hands. It began to fly towards her.
"NO!" Malachite yelled, jumping in its way. He took the blast and fell, and Zoisite let out a scream.
"MALACHITE!!!!!" Before Nephlyte could stop her, Zoisite jumped through the glass and flew towards Malachite.
"They used all their power to attack you!" Tuxedo Mask yelled.
"Yes, Sailor Moon, now is the time to use the Scepter!" Luna added, while Zoisite landed next to Malachite.
"Moon Scepter Elimination!" Sailor Moon yelled. The Spice Girls disappeared.
"What happened?" Sailor Venus asked, as she woke up.
Meanwhile, Zoisite was crying silently. Malachite wasn't breathing, and he didn't have a pulse. She tried CPR, but he didn't respond.
"Sailor Moon..." she wept. "You must heal him..."
"Oh, Mike!" Sailor Moon gasped. "Is he...?"
"You've got to save him...You're the only one who can..."
"How?"
"Moon healing, dimwit!" Raye yelled from her position on the floor.
"Oh! Oh yeah. Moon Healing...Activation!" She made a circle with her wand, and then there was a tactful commercial break and it was Serena who stood beside Malachite and Zoisite.
"C'mon, wake up!" Zoisite said. Malachite blinked.
"Zoi..." he tried to say.
"Shh. Don't strain yourself."
"Your...your hair..." Malachite grinned.
The door swung open, and it was Chad. He looked at the chaos of broken glass, spilled food and pop, and the scorch mark that had been the Spice Girls. "Whoa," he said in his typical surfer dude accent. "What happened?"
Raye went to meet him, and put a hand on his arm. "It's a very long story."
"I'm so glad you're alive, honey-pumpkin," Zoisite whispered to Malachite. Darien flew down to give Malachite a piece of his mind.
"It was bad enough when you were wearing a cape..." he began.
"I'm glad to be here, sweetie..." Malachite whispered back to Zoisite.
"And the rose was like adding insult to injury..." Darien continued.
"I missed you so much, Mally," Zoisite said.
"And now you're saving Sailor Moon! It's my job to save Sailor Moon!"
"I missed you even when I didn't know who I was, Zoey. I knew I was missing something, but I couldn't remember what!"
"Who do you think you are, anyway? Me?" Darien went on and on, but neither Zoisite nor Malachite were listening.
"You're hurt! You're all cut up!" Malachite said.
"And I heard you call him cape boy! I thought that was your special name for me!"
"Not as bad as you, Mally. I had to jump through a window to get to you before you died..."
"You did that for me, love?"
"I'd do anything for you, dear..." The Sailors smiled as they watched the two of them kiss. Jadeite put his arm around Mina, and she smiled at him. Darien and Serena hugged, with Rini in between them.
And what was Nephlyte doing, you ask? He put his hands in front of the projector and made a heart.
Perfect.
Well, not entirely perfect...
Mellotron angrily paced his lair. "They may have defeated our Spice Scouts, but it's not over yet! We shall return, I swear it! And when we do..." He thought for a moment, deciding what his next target for his evil deeds would be. "It's Malachite's fault we don't have the crystal. But if we kidnap his wife, he will be able to do nothing to stop us from getting what I want! Hahahahahahahahahaheeheeheeheehahahaheeheeheeho!"
The End...Of the Beginning
