Sailor Moon-American Senshiby Eugol Dlareg
I do not own any of the main characters in this story except for Gilded Rose. They are owned by someone in Japan. However, with the exception of Serena Campbell and Amy Anderson, I do own the Americanized names of the characters, as well as many of the supporting characters and villians. To make things easy, we'll just say that anything that has appeared in the manga or anime version of Sailor Moon is owned by someone in Japan, most likely Toei or Naoko Takeuchi.
This story contains lyrics to the song You Needed Me, which was written by Randy Goodrum.
EPISODE 10-DRAEVYN
Friday, 20 June, 1986, 9:30 a.m.
Serena Campbell's house
"So what do you think's going to happen?" Jake asked. "I mean, now that Cyprine and Puchirol are on our side."
"I know," Elizabeth said. "That's going to change everything."
"But it's not like they were the only agents of our enemy," Serena said. "We still need to be ready for whatever the Darkness throws at us."
"Good point," Jake said. "We need to be ready for anything. We know very little about our enemy, they could throw anything at us."
"After yesterday," Rae said, "I'm ready for just about anything."
Meanwhile, in the microdimension
"So Cyprine and Puchirol have betrayed us," the disembodied voice said. "They have chosen to fight on the side of good. Draevyn!"
A tall, lanky man stepped forward. He stood 6'4", but weighed all of 150 lbs, and had shoulder length black hair, with several strands falling over his face. He was dressed completely in black, black long sleeved t-shirt, black trenchcoat with the sleeves cut off, black leather pants tight enough to allow anyone to tell his religion, black boots, and black fingerless gloves. His fingernails were also painted black. "What is your bidding?" he asked.
"Destroy the Sailor Soldiers," the disembodied voice said. "Show no mercy. If Cyprine and Puchirol show up, show them even less mercy. Once the Sailor Soldiers lie dead at your feet, take the life energies of the pitiful people of this insifigant world, so that we may escape this prison."
"With pleasure," Draevyn said.
11:15 that same morning
Amy's house
Amy put Anne Murray's Greatest Hits on the turntable, and put the needle on her favorite song.
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool
'cause I finally found someone who really cares
You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
You needed me, you needed me
As the song ended, Amy thought about how unusual it was that that was also one of Jake's favorite songs. There were a lot of things about Jake that surprised Amy, one of which was that she was insanely in love with him. She wished he could be with him, and almost as if on cue, she saw his car outside the window. Amy met him at the door. "What're you up to?" Jake asked as he got to the door.
"Nothing much," Amy said. "What about you?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to go to Golf-N-Play," Jake said. "We can play some mini-golf, and afterwards, maybe hit the waterslides."
"Sure," Amy said. "I'll go grab my swimsuit." She went upstairs, and saw her mom in her bedroom, reading the latest issue of New England Journal of Medicine. "I'm going to Golf-N-Play with Jake," Amy said.
"Okay dear," Dr. Anderson said.
"Thanks mom," Amy said, and went into her room. She considered changing, but decided the blue tank top and white shorts she was wearing was okay for mini-golf. She then grabbed her swimsuit, and then put on a pair of sandals. On her way downstairs, she grabbed a large beach towel, and wrapped her swimsuit in it, and rolled the towel. A minute later, she was back downstairs, and she and Jake went to his car. It was only then she noticed his shorts. He was wearing knee'length nylon boardshorts, along with a white tank top, and black Flojos sandals. Amy put her stuff on the backseat floor, and noticed the Louisville Slugger on the backseat. "What's the baseball bat for?" she asked.
"Oh that's Scott's," Jake said. "I took him to the batting cages for some b.p. the other day, he must have left it in my car by mistake. Besides, I might want to get a few swings in myself."
They got to Golf-N-Play, and played a round of mini-golf, Amy shooting a 71, while Jake shot a 65. "I feel like taking a few swings in the batting cages before we do the waterslides," Jake said, taking a dollar out of his wallet and giving it to Amy. "Get me a black cherry soda, and whatever you want. I'm going to my car to get my bat, and I'll meet you in front of the ticket booth."
While Jake was getting his bat, Draevyn appeared in a cloud of black smoke. He then grabbed the first person he saw by the throat, who just happened to be Amy. He lifted her in the air, and applied a little pressure to her throat. "Tell me, where can I find the one called Sailor Moon?" he said. "I have been sent here to destroy her and her friends."
"Go to Hell!" Amy hissed at her attacker.
"Wrong answer," Draevyn said, and began to squeeze Amy's throat, causing her to scream.
Jake heard the screams as he was walking back to the ticket booth, which caused him to run towards Draevyn, holding the bat with a death grip. When he reached Draevyn, he let out a furious scream, and swung the bat at the small of Draevyn's back like he was trying to hit the gothic assassin's spinal column for a home run. The contact of white ash and Draevyn's back caused the agent of Darkness to throw Amy to the ground, and turn to face Jake. "You've just made the biggest mistake of your short life," Draevyn said. "I will take pleasuer in killing you slowly." At that, he picked up Jake by the throat.
Meanwhile, a group of college students rushed to Amy's aid. "Excuse me miss," one of them said, "are you okay?"
"Yeah," Amy said. "But how's Jake?"
"Is he the guy who took a Louisville Slugger to Dracula's kid brother?" another of the students said. "Looks like tall, dark, and scary has him."
Amy looked towards where Drayven was holding Jake up by the throat. She then got up and ran to a hidden spot near the golf course, and got out her communicator. "We have a Sailor Soldier emergency, Something tall, dark, and scary has Jake by the throat, and he's looking to destroy us." She got out her transformation wand. "Pretty Mercury Soldier, Make-up!"
Even though Draevyn was a good 8" taller than Jake, Jake had at least a 10 pound weight advantage over the gothic assassin. Nevertheless, Draevyn held Jake like he was a rag doll. "Tell me where to find the one named Sailor Moon," Draevyn said.
"I'll die before I'll tell you," Jake said.
"That can be arranged," Draevyn said.
"Let him go!" Sailor Moon demanded. "It's me you want."
"Who are you?" Draevyn asked, throwing Jake to the ground. Jake then ran to a secluded spot on the grounds.
"I stand for peace, I stand for justice, I stand for love. I am the one named Sailor Moon. The Sailor Soldiers and I fight evil, and you reek with the stench of pure evil. In the name of the Moon, we shall punish you!"
"Ooh, I'm scared," Draevyn taunted.
"I'll give you something to be scared about," Gilded Rose said from atop the batting cages.
"And who might you be?" Draevyn asked.
"I fight evil at the side of the Sailor Soldiers," Gilded Rose said. "I am the scourge of those who align themselves with the Darkness. I am Gilded Rose, and today is the day you die!" Gilded Rose leapt off the batting cages, did a flip in midair, and landed near the Sailor Soldiers."Show this son of a bitch no mercy!" he called to the Sailor Soldiers. "Attack him all at once!"
"Jupiter Lightning Storm!"
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
Mercury Ice Spear Barrage!"
"Venus Love-me Shock!"
"Moon Scepter, Elimination!"
The combined force of the attacks weakened Draevyn slightly, but enough. Gilded Rose turned his staff into a sword with a beam of golden light, and ran towards Draevyn, screaming out a battle cry. Draevyn materialized a sword out of black flame, and the two of them were locked in mortal combat, no quarter asked, no quarter given. The battle was a ballet of fury, with the two combatants exchanging thrusts and parries, eventually taking the battle to the golf course. Draevyn tripped over an obstacle, throwing his timing off slightly, but enough for Gilded Rose to take advantage. He began scoring direct hits, not enough on their own to do much damage, but as they accumulated, they had the desired effect. Gilded Rose was showing no mercy. Little by little, he was cutting his opponent down to size, quite literally. The damage Draevyn suffered made him strike wildly, while Gilded Rose was in complete control. A tiny nick on the cheek, another on the shoulder, an inch long gash on the thigh, each cut weakening the gothic assassin slightly.In a last act of desperation, Draevyn took one last one-handed swipe at Gilded Rose, who easily evaded the attack, while cutting off his hand in the same movement. Draevyn's hand, still clutching his sword, fell to the ground. Draevyn tried to grab his sword with his remaining hand, but just as he was about to reach it, a rose hit the ground in front of him. Everyone looked up to the top of the snack bar, to see Tuxedo Mask. "Gilded Rose," Tuxedo Mask called. "You know what to do. Finish him off once and for all."
Gilded Rose was almost grinning under his mask. He picked up Draevyn's sword, and removed his severed hand. "I told you today would be the day you die," Gilded Rose said, as he swung both swords at the same time. That would be the last thing Draevyn ever heard. After Gilded Rose's last attack, Draevyn dropped to his knees, and fell forward, his head flying away from his body, and landing several meters away, and facing up. Tuxedo Mask leapt from where he was to where Draevyn's head landed. Gilded Rose threw Draevyn's sword to Tuxedo Mask, who used it to spear the severed head between the eyes. The head, sword, and Draevyn's body then turned to dust, which blew away in a wind that disappeared as suddenly as it came, taking Tuxedo Mask with it. Gilded Rose leapt to where the Sailor Soldiers were standing, throwing down his transformation rose so that it and he land at the same time. The next thing anyone knew, they were back to their civilian identities.
EPILOG
Amy's house, an hour later
Dr. Anderson, being a physician, insisted on checking out her daughter and Jake after learning of their rough treatment by Draevyn while in their civilian identities. Aside from a few minor cuts, scrapes, and bruises, they were both given clean bills of health, although both were ordered to take it easy for the rest of the day. In fact, being held up by their throats didn't do any real permanent damage. They sat down on the couch, and Jake turned on the tv, and flipped through the channels until he found a Disney movie that was just starting. As they were watching the movie, Amy reached over, pulled Jake's head to her, and kissed him. "That's for today," she said. "That guy would've killed me if you hadn't of made like Harmon Killebrew on his back like that."
Jake kissed her back. "That one was just because I love you, Amy Anderson."
"And I love you, Jake Slater."
