Here's the second part of my first crossover! In this one, the Scouts are stunned to find out that the landed in a book, of all places! I won't give anymore away, so just keep reading!
Scouts in the Mysterious Play
By: Eternal Flame
The book fell to the ground softly, open to the first page. There was no trace of anyone in the room.
"Oof!"
"Ouch!"
"Get of me!"
"This really hurts, you know?"
Miaka, Taka, and Yui had suddenly fallen straight from the clear blue sky onto a light-blue haired (who's hair, I might add, defies all law of gravity) young monk, who was clearly frazzled. An orange-haired freak was laughing hysterically at the monk, pointing his finger at them.
"Heeheeheehee! At last! I'm not the one to get trampled on! Hahahaha! I told you, Chichiri, that one day I'd get even with you!!! Hahahaha!"
Sweatdrops.
Trying to untangle their entangled legs, Miaka fell over, flat on her face. Taka gently helped her up, and looked around. They had landed in a deserted ancient Chinese village. All the doors were closed, all the windows tightly shut. There were no signs of anyone living there except the five of them. Everything seemed wasted and rotted. Yet…something seemed familiar…
"Chichiri, Tasuki? What happened here? This is the village where I was born, right?" he said in a flat, low voice.
Miaka and Yui looked around at the barren village with worried eyes. Miaka turned her face up to Taka, whose face was a mask of fury.
"T-Taka?"
Chichiri and Tasuki, the orange-haired bandit, looked at eachother nervously.
"Um, well, you see…"
Before Chichiri could finish, they heard six different screams of six different voices. Tasuki looked up, and gasped. In a mere second, he stepped away from his spot and pushed Chichiri to where he used to be. He smiled.
Bonk!
Bang!
Pow!
"Oof!"
"Ouch!"
"Get off me!"
"I'm beginning to think that Tasuki set this all up, you know?"
Nearby, Tasuki was clutching his stomach as he chortled. "I told you! Hahahahaha! You laughed at me last time, but see who's laughing now? HAHAHAHA!!!!!!"
More sweatdrops.
Yui gasped as she saw the six dazed faces lying on top of Chichiri. "Amy! Serena! Raye! Mina! Lita! Darien? How-what…why…huh???"
Miaka rushed forward to pull them out. But, Miaka is and always will be Miaka. She pulled out Raye, who was on top of Chichiri but at the bottom of the pile of newcomers. Raye desperately tried to tell Miaka that it was okay, she didn't have to be first, but Miaka didn't pay any attention. With a mighty wrench, she jerked Raye out of the pile.
"Owww!"
"MIAKA!!!!!"
"What? What did she do wrong?" (That would be Serena.)
Sigh…
Raye was massaging her arm tenderly, winching. However, she did notice where they were.
"M-Miaka? Yui? Where-what…why…huh?"
Chichiri and Tasuki stared with huge eyes at these strangely dressed people. Of course, Miaka and Yui dressed differently, but they were…well, there were only two of them. But, suddenly, six more come tumbling into their world! And that man…He was certainly different. Why, look at that hair, that pea-green jacket, those black, stiff pants…he was definitely a person to keep an eye on. But those girls were different. Chichiri sensed a marvelous power coming from them, so marvelous that it was frightening. Who were these people? Miaka, Yui, and Taka seemed to know them well enough.
"Umm…well, welcome to the Universe of the Four Gods, everyone!" Miaka said brightly.
Stare.
"Uhhh…your point?" Mina asked dubiously.
Yui, always the problem-solver, turned to Chichiri and Tasuki, who were still gaping. "Can you take us to the Konan Palace? Maybe we can talk there. It's not as deserted as this place, I hope."
"No, not yet. But if things still continue like they are now, all of Konan and Kutou will be deserted and bleak, you know," Chichiri sighed.
Bluntly, Tasuki asked, "Who are these new freaks?"
"WHAT?!?!?!?! You dare call us freaks? Including me? Me, Mina, the beautiful? Me, Mina, who is the most popular girl in Tokyo?"Mina literally exploded.
Lita giggled nervously. "Don't mind her. She gets…emotionally upset." Privately, Lita thought that that bandit-looking guy was pretty cute. In fact, he reminded her of her old boyfriend…
Taka explained to Tasuki, "These are our friends from our world. I'd really like to know how you got here…"
The girls gasped. " 'OUR WORLD'?????"
Darien said in his smooth voice, "I think you ought to know who we really are. Right, girls?"
Amy nodded. "I guess you guys have had your share of abnormal stuff, if this is a new world. You seem at home here."
Serena closed her eyes, feeling the secret energy she had bubble up inside her. Determinedly, she shot up her hand and shouted, "Moon Crisis Make-Up!"
On cue, the others shot up their hands, too.
"Mars Crystal Power!"
"Mercury Crystal Power!"
"Venus Crystal Power!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power!"
The others gasped as they tried to shield the blinding light from their eyes. When the light seemed to be gone, they looked around cautiously.
Miaka squealed. "IT'S SAILOR MOON!!!!!!"
In place of the five school girls and one man were five Sailor Scouts and one Tuxedo Mask. (There'll always only be one like him! ^. ~) Each of their heads were held up high, each of their backs were straight and tall.
"That's right, Miaka! I am Sailor Moon!"
"Sailor Mercury!"
"Sailor Mars!"
"Sailor Jupiter!"
"Sailor Venus and the awesome and popular idol, Sailor V!"
POW!! Venus giggled nervously, with Jupiter's fist on her head.
"And Tuxedo Mask!"
"In the name of the Moon, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And that means y-…er…uh…not you…but, um…"
Tuxedo Mask quickly came to her aid. "But whoever ruined this prosperous village!"
The other Scouts nodded their heads energetically.
Yui and Miaka were staring at the Scouts with adoring eyes. "Wow! I've dreamed of meeting the Scouts for so long! They're so cool!"
Venus chirped happily, "Especially me, right?"
Jupiter sighed, and pulled her away by the ear.
Yui looked at Mercury. "Well, I guess we can tell you who we are then…but lets go to the palace first."
Tasuki stood there gaping at the short skirts. What kind of uncivilized freaks were these people? He snuck a peek at Tuxedo Mask. He instantly hated him. Tasuki didn't exactly know why, but he just did. There was something about the cape that unnerved him.
Chichiri stuttered, "I-uh, well, I think th-that you people should, uh, change back to your…normal clothing, you know? It would really attract too much attention, you know?"
They arrived at the palace entrance. Raye stared at it with reverance shining in her eyes. It was such a magnificent building. The Cherry Hill Temple could fit into it at least 100 times! This was the palace she saw in her meditation…
The guards recognized Chichiri and Tasuki, and let the group in. They stared wide-eyed at the passing strangers.
Their footsteps echoes were the only sound they could hear. The six foreigners were puzzled about where they were and how and why, but no one was as curious as Serena. (Then again, no one ever was or will be.)
"Hey, Miaka? So, where exactly are we? Uh, besides the Universe of the Three Geese or whatever…"
Tasuki spun around so suddenly that Serena bumped into him. His face was contorted with rage. "You are as dumb as you look, aren't you? It's the Universe of the Four Gods!!!!!!"
Darien approached with a cold look in his eyes. "Don't ever call Serena dumb, within or not within my hearing." The way he said it sent goosebumps up Tasuki's spine. What right did this punk have to talk to him like that?
Taka, quickly sensing trouble, said, "Relax, you guys! Serena, right now you're in the city Konan, in the Konan palace. You have traveled between the world as we know it into a "book" world, in the book The Universe of the Four Gods. It's really complicated, we'll tell you after-"
Miaka interrupted excitedly. "After we eat!!!"
Serena squealed happily, and the two of them sped off into the hallway, leaving the rest of them with sweatdrops on their heads.
Serena and Miaka were gobbling down yet more food. (With bits and pieces flying round everywhere…) The others merely picked at their food. Chichiri and Tasuki were amazed that there was another mortal that could eat as much as Miaka. These other-world people…they keep surprising you! Non-stop!
After a long while, Miaka slowed down, and Serena followed suite. Finally, they were only pecking at the crumbs left. Serena looked at Miaka, and they said simultaneously, "Truce." (Wow! They're actually full for once!)
Amy leaned forward on the table. "So, do we get to hear about this mysterious place?"
Yui nodded. "Well, I guess it's the perfect time since the emperor is still out…We should have enough time before he comes back."
Miaka began. "You see, Yui managed to drag me to the National Library one day…"
Minutes became hours as Miaka, Yui, Taka, Chichiri, and Tasuki unwove their tale of love, friendship, and betrayal. Soon the sun set, and candles were brought in. Their audience listened, mesmerized. It was a tale not unlike their own, yet so complicated. They went through so much…but perhaps it was worth it. Finally, Miaka finished it off. "Taka came back to our world after he recovered his memory, and so, just about a week after we left the book, we met you guys."
Yui added on, "Time is different here than in the real world. About 2 hours back home is 3 months over here."
There was a long pause as each person thought his or her own thoughts.
Finally, Taka broke the silence. "Well, what about you people? I've only seen Sailor V on video games and stuff, and occasionally I hear about the rest of the Scouts in the newspaper."
Chichiri and Tasuki: Huh?
Raye smiled. "It's a modern world thing."
Chichiri and Tasuki: Aaahhh!
Serena smiled up at Darien lovingly. "I guess our story's similar to yours. We've been separated, killed, and reborn, only to find eachother again."
Darien continued, "I first met Serena in our world when we were outside, walking, although I had seen her in dreams many times. She had crumpled a test that she got a 30% on…"
Serena blushed as Miaka giggled.
"Anyway, it bounced off of my forehead. After that, we always seemed to cross paths. I always teased her, made fun of her, stuff like that…"
And their adventure unraveled before their amazed friends. To Chichibi and Tasuki, it all seemed unbelievable and fake. Yet, Miaka, Yui, and Taka sensed that every word they said was true. It was well past midnight when the six of them finished their story with, "When Galaxia was pure again, we never had any trouble after that."
Chichiri sighed. "This is all kind of hard to believe, you know?"
Lita stood up menacingly. "Oh, so you think we lie? Because Sailor Scouts don't lie, you know?" The "you know" she tagged on was really too much for Chichiri. He thought that those modern girls needed to be taught where their place was, and they shouldn't get so proud and egotistical about it.
Taka looked troubled. "Do any of you know how long we've waited yet?"
Amy caught on. "The emperor hasn't arrived yet?!? It must be midnight by now!"
Chichiri gasped as he sensed the evil. "Th-they're here!"
Taka knew what he meant, and immediately sprang up from his seat. "Sailor Scouts, we need your help now!"
"Right!"
Heeheehee! Cliffhanger! Now you'll have to wait for the next part in two weeks! Aren't I cruel!
Next time: The Suzaku Seishi get to see how powerful the Scouts really are!
Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi, Kodansha, and Toei Animation. Fushigi Yuugi belongs to Watase Yu, Shogakukan Inc., and some animation company that I don't know.
