Disclaimer: Power Rangers Turbo are Property of Saban Entertainment, Inc. Sailor Moon is property of Naoko Takeuchi, Kodansha, Toei Animation and DiC (unfortunately). No profit is being made from this, this is being done primarily for entertainment reasons. The storyline is my idea, please don't use it. Thank you.
Note: For those who have not seen or know of the Japanese version of Sailor Moon R, Cooan, Beruche, Karaberas, and Petz
are actually the Four Sisters, known as Katsie, Bertie, Avery, and Prisma respectively. Naru is Molly and Umino is Melvin.
Please excuse me if I go from Japanese material and cross over to North American material. I am sorry but this chapter
absolutely deals with Sailor Moon and has no Power Rangers (hears the audience cheering ^^;), but it is necessary for future
plots and thus is important.

The next week at the New Tokyo airport, Cooan, Beruche, Karaberas, and Petz are seeing the 4 Sailor Senshi off to America.
"Bye, Rei. Send us back some make-up samples from America," asks Cooan.
"Sure thing, though I wouldn't be suprised if it was the same stuff as what is available around here," remarks Rei.
"Oh, I'm sure they have a few new variances over there," says Cooan.
"Have a nice time, Ami," says Beruche.
"I will, you can bet on it," replies Ami.
"Mako-san, Minako, stay out of trouble," remark Karaberas and Petz.
"Who, us? You can't be talking about the two of us, can you?" reply Makoto and Minako in unison.
"Hold on!! Wait for me. WWWAAAHHH!!" Usagi comes running up to the gate with her mom and Naru and Umino struggling to keep up.
"Usagi-chan, you know better than to rush off and leave us behind. I have a good mind not to let you go," complains her mom.
"You're coming with us, Usagi?" asked Rei.
"Of course I am. My classes start in a few week and I need time to get settled in."
"But I thought you didn't get accepted to any of your exchange choices," says Ami.
"At the last minute, I got a reply. You know, oversea mail is so slow. Now where are Luna and Artemis?"
"They're right here, Usagi, in the pet carrier," Naru says.
Sweatdrops form over the cats' heads.
"How humiliating to be stuck in this prison."
"Don't I know it, Artemis."
"Now hurry up everybody, or you will miss your flight," the flight attendant announced.
Usagi exchanges hugs with her mom and Naru. Usagi looks at Umino, and decides to at least shake his hand. Umino blushes as Naru smacks him on the head.
"Have a good time, Usagi-chan. Send me a postcard or two."
"Arigatou. And I'll make sure you get something, Naru-chan."
No one notices as a brown-haired girl wearing a dress of black shoulders and arms, sand brown midsection, and red skirt with a scarlet middriff overcoat watches from behind a column. "Gambatte, Usagi. May we meet in the near future," she whispers. She holds up a little blue robot, presses a button marked 'Record' and speaks into it. "Usagi looks so pretty at this age, my love. She's sure to be a beautiful princess one day." The girl fingers a small brooch attached to her overcoat. She watches as the girls get ready to board their flight.
Rei glances around as if there should be another friend there to say good-bye to. Images of a blonde-haired bishounen boy and a black-haired girl with a school uniform similar to Rei's wielding a huge red blade flash briefly before her eyes, but she dismisses it as a goofy vision.
Usagi turns to Ami. "I can't wait to see Mamoru again. I hope nothing goes wrong, Ami-chan," whispers Usagi.
"I agree."
A few minutes after the Senshi board the plane, the brown-haired girl shows a ticket to the lady at the check-in counter
and boards the plane. The Senshi are all gathered in the front section of the plane, so the brown-haired girl gets a seat
as close to the girls as possible without alerting them to her presence. *A good thing I've had experience with the Senshi
before.*
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few hours after the flight left, two space aliens headed toward Tokyo. They were Ail and Ann, the two aliens who had been on Earth several years ago, who had come to restore the Tree of Life, then known as the Makaiju. They had come back to get Sailor Moon's help again.
"Where are they, Ail?"
"I don't know, Ann. I can't seem to find them anywhere. Maybe we should look them up."
"We don't have time. I'm going to contact Mother Tree for help, despite the strain it could make on both of us."
"Be careful, my love."
"Mother Tree, we need help, we can't find Sailor Moon anywhere."
"The only thing I can think of to help you is to tell you to ask the spirit of Queen Serenity at the Cave of Destiny. She maybe able to help you."
"How do you know all this?"
"When I zapped Sailor Moon of her energy, I also got some of her memories. Please trust me, my child. We can't survive much longer."
"Alright. One more question. How are Alan and my kids."
"They are okay, but frighten. I can't stress the importance of getting Sailor Moon's help. Signing off."
"Good-bye and tell our kids we love them."
"So what did she say?"
"We head towards the Cave of Destiny at the North Pole."
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Later at the North Pole. . .
"It's so cold, Ail. I don't know if I can go on any farther."
"You have to, Ann. If not for me or the Mother Tree, then for our children's future."
"Alright."
They soon come upon the Cave of Destiny and enter. After walking for a few meters, they hit a dead end.
"Now, how do we find this Queen Serenity?"
"I am right here, my children."
"Mother Tree?"
"No, it is I, the spirit of Queen Serenity. I know what you wish to know. My daughter, Princess Selenity, or as you know her, Usagi, has gone to America. Angel Grove to be specific. It is not a coincidence that she has gone there. Angel Grove is a cross current of all sorts of energy, both good and evil."
"Thank you, Queen Serenity. With any hope, we can save our planet," says Ail.
"Yesss, THANK YOU, Old Dead Moon Queen. Now I know where to go to get my revenge."
"No, it can't be you, Queen Beryl! You were killed a long time ago," replies Queen Serenity.
"I was merely indisposed. Oh, if it isn't two ex-evil residents. I see that Sailor Moon has healed you. I need new generals and you have been chosen.
"Never, Queen Beryl, we no longer need evil. We have love."
"I suppose I should be suprised that you know my name," snarls Beryl.
"I won't let you hurt them, you witch," replies Serenity.
"There's nothing you can do, you spirit. Now, powers of the Dark Kingdom, hear me now. Return these two to the side of evil.
Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles, then Queen Beryl and the two aliens were gone.
"Sailor Moon, Princess Selenity, Usagi, Serena, please save them."
To be continued. . . .
Next Time: We will find out what happens to Tommy's morphing powers. The contents of the satellite will be
discovered. Will Ail and Ann destroy their friends? Find out next time. And who was the brown-haired girl and what was her
relationship to the Senshi? (This we won't find out for *QUITE* a while, if you aren't anime-savvy.)
