Episode 1: Peace Be Gone
By Sailor Kawaii
This story takes place about 2 years after the defeat of Chaos. Usagi and Mamoru are married and ChibiUsa is about to be born. But, will this peace last...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A brown-haired 11 year old walked down the hall of a palace. She was young, but powerful and the Senshi would soon know of her. The tall white doors to the throne room opened. And on the throne was a tall, slender woman who looked about 20. But, she showed knowledge in her eyes from the many years she's lived.
The woman got up and addressed the the brown-haired child. She was told to go to earth to protect it from an evil that was coming. She bowed and said "Yes, my queen."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Makoto and Usagi were walking down the street with shopping bags filled with food. Makoto was going to give Usagi cooking lessons-for the tenth time. A yellow car pulled up to them and two friendly faces were in it. "Need a ride?" Haruka asked.
"Thanks. We need to get back to my apartment before Usagi eats all of the ingrediants," Makoto answered. Usagi didn't take the comment very lightly. "I have a reason now! I have to eat for two!" She said. Michiru couldn't help but to laugh. They climbed into the back seat and the vehicle drove away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ami was heading home from college when she ran into Minako. She was wearing an orange dress that looked too fancy for every day occasions. "Why are you so dressed up?" Ami had to ask. Minako stared at her blankly when she remebered what she was wearing. "Oh! This? I bought this dress for the audition!"
"Good luck. See you later. I have a lot of home work to do," Ami said with out a second thought.
"Bye, Ami-chan!" Minako waved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei was at the temple reading the fire. She felt a presence of evil and suddenly, she lost her breath. She started choking, as if she was being smothered by a negative force. Then, Yuuichirou came in with a tray of food that was meant for Rei. He dropped it when he saw her struggling for breath. Then, it passed as quickly as it started. "Are you okay?" Yuuichirou asked. It was the first time Rei noticed he was there. "F-f-fine. I'm fine," She stuttered from the incident, or was she nervous because of Yuuichirou?
"Are you sure?" He asked, just to check. Rei just nodded this time, sure that she was nervous about Yuuichirou. "I'll go get you some more food and clean up the mess." Rei was about to tell him it was okay, but he had left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Makoto was putting on her pink apron just as Usagi tried to eat some more food. "Usagi-chan! Don't eat the food!"
"Yeah, I know, but...it all smells too good..." was Usagi's sad excuse. Makoto looked at Ondango-atama and shook her head. Every time Makoto tried to give the blond a lesson, half the ingridiants were eaten and Makoto was left with a mess. Well, she thought, not this time.
"What are grinning about?" Usagi asked as she finished eating some chocolate ice cream. So much for the milk shakes, Makoto thought. Then, they both heard a beeping noise. Makoto's first reaction was to pick up the phone, but it was the dial tone. Then, remembering the communicator, she went to her room and answered it. Usagi followed.
"Hey, Mako-chan," Rei said.
"Uh..hi Rei-chan. Why are you calling on the communicator?" Makoto asked.
"That's not important. Just say you'll come to the shrine tomarrow, okay?"
"Okay," Rei had already hung up. "That was strange."
~~~
Usagi had left to test her cooking on Mamoru, leaving Makoto with a mess to clean up. The cooking lesson didn't go too successful, as usual. Makoto thought she was crazy for trying to teach the blond how to cook. Usagi would rather eat a meal than cook a meal. Poor Mamoru. When Makoto finished cleaning up the mess, she was pooped. She plopped down on her green couch and would have nodded off if she didn't hear the door knock.
Makoto slapped her face to wake up. She walked over to the white door and opened it. There was a young girl on the other side. "Are you selling girl scout cookies?" Makoto asked, optimistically. The child gave no answer. "Hey, is this some kind of a joke? What do you want?" Makoto kept asking, not giving her a chance to answer, even though she wouldn't.
Makoto stopped talking and looked into the girl's eyes. The were hypnotizing. She could have sworn that they were purple a few seconds ago, now they were almost white. After that, things went black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ami opened the door to her apartment. She put her bags on the wooden table near the door. Her home was neat and tidy. Most of the room was baby blue, but there were was the occasional darker shades-the rug, throw pillows and a few lamps.
Ami sat down to do her homework and opened a book. "This won't be too hard," she said to herself. Several minutes later, Ami heard her phone ring. She picked it up, "Hello?" No answer but the dial tone. "That's strange." She put the reciever down and went back to work. The ringing started again. And it wasn't the phone.
Ami listened for where the sound was coming from. Eventually, she found it in her bedroom. It was the comunicator. "Now, who could be calling me?"
"Ami, meeting at the temple tomarrow, okay?" Rei asked.
"Sure, but...nevermind," Ami hung up and went back to work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ugh. This is harder than I thought," Minako said as she sat down on her couch. She looked around and day dreamed. The calm, light colors of the room almost made Minako nod off when she remembered two things-eating and check her messages. She let out a sigh as she headed to the machine.
Clearly, the only message she had, started speaking: "Hey, Mina-chan. It's me, Rei-chan...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, the Senshi met up at the shrine for a "meeting". As in gossip and poking fun at each other. Makoto came late, which was strange since Usagi was there before her. That didn't stop them from chowing down and talking. Not to mention, Rei looking nervous.
Suddenly, the door slided open with Makoto and a child with her. Of course, Usagi just HAD to say "Who's that, your daughter?" Makoto ignored her and said "This is my cousin, Kawaya."
"You have a cousin?" Minako questioned. Makoto noticed that Rei was looking nervous and commented, "Yuuichirou on the mind, Rei-chan?" In less than second, everyone turned to look at Rei. She was going to tell them about the incident yesterday when Usagi broke in: "Rei-chan, you told Mako-chan and not me?" She said, trying to pretend to be her best friend.
"Who's that?" Kawaya asked.
"Sorry. That's Rei-chan. And this is Usagi-chan, Ami-chan and Mina-chan." Kawaya looked less than interested. She plopped down in the corner of the room and Makoto joined them.
While the girls were talking, Rei looked at Kawaya. She was about 5 feet, 2 inches tall. Kawaya had brown hair and purple, focused eyes. She was wearing hot pink dress, with a white top under it.
When it started getting late, the girls said their see ya's and went home. Right before they left, Rei glanced at Kawaya and saw some weird, creepy look in her eyes. That girl gave her a weird feeling, but decided to shrug it off along with what had happened yesterday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Makoto and Kawaya reached the apartment and Makoto pulled out her keys. The two brown haired girls almost equal in height entered the simply decorated home. There were a few pictures hanging on the wall and the occasional house plant. All of the furniture were solid colors, mainly green, with light pink throw pillows. The floor was wooden, but had a green rug on top of it. The walls were a pale pink, almost white.
"Well, I'm going to make dinner," Makoto said as she headed to the kitchen. Kawaya didn't seem to be interested in anything anyone said. Makoto shrugged it off and went to prepare the food.
Kawaya walked around the apartment, getting used to things. She even walked into Makoto's room and looked through her stuff. On Makoto's dresser was an odd-looking pen. Kawaya headed for it. But, Makoto called to her, because it was time to eat. Kawaya stopped in her tracks and decided to come back later.
The smell of Makoto's cooking reached all parts of the apartment. It smelled so good, that you would probably try to devour the scent. The two of them took their plates and sat down to eat. Makoto was trying to strike up a conversation while Kawaya played with her food. Makoto was almost finished eating and saw that Kawaya hadn't eaten a bite. Now, that got her a little steamed. "Will you just eat the food!?" Makoto yelled.
Kawaya gave her a look that wasn't fear, but "are you crazy?" and "you're dead" look. She finally picked up a piece and ate it. When they finished eating, Makoto cleaned up and Kawaya got ready for bed-on the couch. The two said good night and went to bed.
~~~
When Kawaya woke up, Makoto was reading the paper still in pajamas. "Watcha' readin'?" Kawaya asked. The sudden sound of her voice startled Makoto. "Oh, I'm reading article about a crime," Makoto answered. Right after that, she put the paper down and noticed that the girl's eyes had turned grey. "Well, I have to meet the girls at the temple."
"Again?" Kawaya's forwardness kept surprising Makoto. She went into her room to get ready. When she left the room, she told Kawaya the safety rules (Makoto makes a good mom) and exited the apartment.
The first thing on Kawaya's mind was to examine the pen she had seen earlier. She headed straight to Makoto's room and searched her dresser. But it was gone, Makoto must have taken it with her. What else is there to do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you serious?" Ami asked.
"Yeah, it was right in the paper." Makoto answered. The girls had met up for a real meeting and were discussing the article in the paper that Makoto had been reading earlier. A new Senshi was apparantly fighting crime around town. She looked fairly young, about the same age as most of the senshi.
"Think we should investigate?" Rei asked. A deep sigh came from behind the senshi. Rei turned around to see Usagi pouting and was about to scold her. Minako came to Usagi's rescue right before she scowled at Rei.
"What's wrong, Usagi-chan?" Minako asked.
"What's wrong?" Usagi sounded angry, "What's wrong? Are we being teased? Two whole years of peace...and this senshi shows up! And every time a new senshi shows up, an enemy shows up! All I want is more peace. Things were going fine...," Usagi faded.
"Well, she could be an imposter," Makoto said. Usagi shook her head. "They never are."
"Well, even if this senshi isn't an imposter and a new enemy shows up, Usagi is in no shape to be fighting," Ami stated.
"But...," Minako questioned.
"No buts," Rei interupted, "We're going to have to get training and IF this 'new enemy' ever shows up, we'll have to fight with out Usagi." They all knew it was true. Usagi was fifth month of pregnancy.
The senshi weren't even sure if Luna could help as much. She also was expecting. The black cat spoke up. "Minako, when and IF this 'enemy' shows up, you'll have to lead the Senshi on your own."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Makoto returned home soon after the meeting and relaxed on her green couch. Several minutes later, Makoto realized that Kawaya was gone. "Kawaya! Are you here!?" Makoto yelled and her only answer was silence. "This better not be a game." Makoto muttered to herself. She checked in each room and found nothing.
Makoto headed out the door as she put on her coat. It was chilly and she wished that she had worn something heavier.
~~~
At the park, figure in the shadows held a round, golden crystal in her hands. Energy was seeping into the jewl from a victim laying prone on the ground. A groan escaped the victim's mouth, and the figure released an evil cackle.
Makoto heard the sound and decided to follow it to its source, thinking it might lead to Kawaya. The woman was startled when she heard Makoto coming, and hid in the shadows. Makoto saw the poor victim's body spreaded on the cold ground. "Kawaya?" Makoto asked to herself more than to the person who turned out not to be Kawaya at all.
She knelt down to feel the girl's pulse to see if she was breathing. "She's okay, her energy is just gone." Makoto turned around to find the owner of the voice. It was a woman, slightly taller than six feet, with ankle length blazing, red hair. She wore showy clothing (looked like a bikini) and had a high pitched laugh.
"Who are you?" Makoto demanded. More laughs from the woman.
"Why, I'm Sun*Star, here to dispose of you sad, pathetic humans," the woman replied proudly, accompanied by MORE laughter. Makoto reached for her henshin pen and discovered that she didn't bring it with her. "Great," Makoto said to herself, "I'm going to have to do this the old fashoned way."
"Sun*Star Blast!" Makoto was knocked down by the sudden attack. Makoto was aching all over when she heard a voice.
"What are you up to? No good, I'm assuming," The voice said. "Well, in the name of Soul and Beauty, you'll be punished!" Makoto tried to look up so that she could see the mysterious senshi's face, but she blacked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi held the phone, waiting for a response. The answering machine came up and she started to worry. "Mamo-chan! Get the car, I need to check on Mako-chan!"
~~~
Mamoru and Usagi arrived at the park, and found three bodies lying on the ground-Makoto, a senshi, and an unknown girl. Their attention quickly switched to the laughter of Sun*Star. Seeing the woman float in the air with the crystal sapping energy, Usagi to the cue to transform. She pulled out her brooch, and found that she couldn't transform. Tuxedo Kamen was there, ready to protect Usagi.
She took this chance to call the senshi on her comunicator. Then, she felt a sudden weight on her. It was Tuxedo Kamen, hit by Sun*Star's Attack. Usagi held him protectively, preying that the senshi would come quickly.
"Mars Flame Sniper!!!" Sun*Star tried to dodge the surprise attack, but the arrow slashed through her arm. "Mercury Raphosody!"
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" The two attacks came closer and closer to their target. "I'll come back," Sun*Star said and disappeared in burst of flames. The senshi headed towards the victims and helped them up.
Sailor Mars was going to help the mysterious and young senshi up, but she hopped up and ran away, as if nothing had ever happened. "Wait, come back!" Sailor Venus yelled after her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Makoto was returned to her home and put in bed to rest, Kawaya returned. "Where have you been?" Minako asked as soon as the girl came into the door.
"Out," She answered, then gave Minako her strange, cold stare. Then, she went into the kitchen without another word.
