Chapter Eight: Sammy of Hard Rock
In this time line Sammy and Hotaru are the ages they were in the show when Hotaru apperred.

Sammy Usingo was walking down the street when he saw a few young boys picking on a girl of about his age.

"You little witch! You hurt our gang leader!" Yelled one of the thugs into the crying girls face.

"I can't help it! Besides he attack me first!" The girl replied.

"That's it! It's time for you to earn respect for your betters!" Yelled a gang member raising a chain like a whip and intending to bring it down on the child. Sammy run forward and land a punch to the gang member's jaw.

"So this guy's a hero. Wants to protect the little witch!" He said with a sneer.

"That's right. She says you attack her first and with your behavior I believe it." Sammy replied calmly.

"Get him too!" Yelled the gang leader. Sammy made a pair of fist.

"Get lost! Now!" Said a tall girl. The boys start acting nervous.

"It's Lita. Let's get out of here." One of the boy's yelled. Every one of the boy's take off running. Sammy suddenly found him self being hug by the girl he save.

"My hero! Thank you!" Said the girl.

"Your welcome. But you should also thank her." Sammy said pointing to Lita.

"Oh, her too! Thank you. By the way my name is Hotaru Tomoe. I have to be getting home. Bye!" The girl said taking off for home. Lita left too. Sammy saw a yellow ghost who was wearing armor. Pointing to some thing.

"Justice." Sammy whisper the justice symbol appearing on his for head. He nodded to the ghost. "Yes, I understand." Sammy dug in the pebbles where the figure was pointing. He uncover a sliver sphere.

"Armor of hard rock! Dao Gi!" There was a flash of yellow light. After the flash Sammy suddenly look like he was a teenager. He was wearing the sub armor of hard rock. Sammy's sub armor disappear in a flash of yellow light and he was back to normal.

Latter that afternoon

Sammy was walking when he run into the girl.

"Oh, your the boy who help save me. My name is Hotaru Tomoe. What's yours?" ask the girl.

"Sammy Usnigo." He replied.

"Will you like to come by tomorrow. I live at a genetics lab. Here's the address. By the way let me thank you for saving me." Said Hotaru giving him a peck on the cheek. When Hotaru saw Sammy blushing she giggles. She writes down her address and runs off.

Next day.

"Hello there young man." Said a white hair man with glass. "May I ask what your doing here?" He ask nicely.

"Hotaru invited me." Replied Sammy.

"So she's finding friends. I'm so glad. My name is Dr. Tomoe. And you are?"

"Sammy Tusingo."

"Wait here. I'll go tell her your here." The doctor left.

Suddenly there was an explosion in the lab. There was a crater a few feet from where Sammy was standing. A giant worm thing jump out of the crater and tower over Sammy. For a face the worm had a black star on a white back ground. "I'm here on behalf of Misters nine. Where is Doctor Tomoe and Hotaru? I must take over Tomoe and arrange for his daughter to become Sailor Saturn. Tell me or I'll force you to."

"I can't tell him what he wants to know. It wouldn't be right." Sammy thought. "Justice." The worm heard Sammy say even though it could clearly see that his mouth was close. The justice symbol appear on Sammy's forehead. Sammy took out the ball. With a flash of yellow light Sammy was teen age and in the sub armor of Hard Rock.

"What?!?!" The worm ask surprise. Suddenly the door Professor Tomoe went through open and out came Hotaru and her father.

"We heard an explosion. Is every one all right?" The Professor ask.

"What happen to you?" Ask Hotaru starring wide eye at Sammy then she notice the monster and scream.

"Get out of here you two. This things after you." Sammy yelled to the two. "What about you?" ask Hotaru concern.

"I think he can take care of him self dear." Tomoe run down the street carrying his daughter. A few feet down the street Professor Tomoe sat on the side walk puffing. "I'm not cut out for this." He said. His daughter was standing beside him.

"Daddy do you really think Sammy can take care of him self?" She ask.

"Yes. I recognize that armor from my ancient myths and legend class. It's the sub armor of Hard Rock. Your friend is apparently a Ronin Warrior." He told his daughter.

"What's a Ronin Warrior?" Ask Hotaru.

"From what I under stand sort of like a Sailor Scout." He replied. This seem to relive Hotaru some what.

Sammy put his hands together. "Armor of Hard Rock. Doa.. Ungh!" The worm sensing the energy build up tackle Sammy into the crater.

"Well thats, that. Now maybe I can finally get on with the plan."

"Invited by a new age, I'm Sailor Neptune."

"Invited by a new age, I'm Sailor Uranus." The two scouts were standing on a ruin wall.

"Give me a break." The worm moan.

"Neptune deep submerge!"

"Uranus word shaking!" The two attacks stop about three feet from the worm and reverse course hitting them. The two scouts were knock back wards. Sammy awoke just in time to see a green and yellow flash of lighting. "Hotaru!" Sammy scream remembering that thing was after her. Sammy stood up. "Armor of Hard Rock! Dao Gi!" Sammy donned the Hard Rock and leap out of the crater. He saw the worm slithering off. Sammy hit his staff on the ground. "Iron Rock Crusher!" The yellow energy ball slam into the worm throwing him through one of the walls. The worm quickly recover. A huge black lighting bolt hit to the middle of the crater where a black energy ball was. Sammy felt a force from the ball drawing him in. Sammy flung the bladed side of his staff into the side of the crater. Sammy was floating in the air.

Hotaru suddenly saw a vision of the very predicament Sammy was in. She run back to the laboratory. "I only hope I'm not too late." She round the corner and came face to the worm

"Now I have you." The worm said. A little star was projected from the worm to Hotaru but was stop by a yellow energy field. "No you haven't become Sailor Saturn yet. This is his doing." The worm scream.

"Sailor Saturn?" Hotaru ask. "Sammy hold on." Hotaru thought to her self. "Saturn Star Power!" The transformation stick just appearing in her hand.

"Saturn Gailve Surprise!" The energy ball force the creature back.

"Saturn?" Moan Sailor Uranus. Saturn walk over to the edge of the crater. "Silence wall. The field surround the ball and Sammy drop to the ground. He jumped to the edge of the crater.

"Thanks Saturn." Said Sammy in a tone which told her that he knew who she was. "Shall we." She said gesturing to the worm.

"Lets." Replied Sammy.

"Saturn Gailve Surprise!"

"Iron rock crusher!" The two energy balls merge. Then Uranus and Neptune add their attacks. The mulit color energy ball destroy the worm. All of the sudden the energy ball flew straight into the sky.

"And I thought that all my plans were ruin. I couldn't gather as much energy as I like but I think I can still destroy this world." The ball said. It start growing slowly.

"That creep is a matter of opinion." Sammy jab the point end of his staff into the ground. Yellow lighting erupt from it and encircle the globe.

"What I can't move?" The globe ask. "You guys need to destroy it."

"Right. I heard about the sailor planet attack. Can you do it?" Pluto appeared.

"In theory." She replied.

"Good let's go beneath it and blast it." Said Hotaru.

"Pluto Star Power!"

"Saturn Star Power!"

"Neptune Star Power!"

"Uranus Star Power!" Four beams of light flew up into the energy ball. The ball broke apart. "That's draining. Excuse me. I must go check on my friend." Said Saturn. Uranus shook her head amused. "If she appeared under any other circumstances, I would of try and destroy her.
