CHAPTER THREE: "The Inner Senshi get drafted . . . "
"mmmph." groaned Heero, turning over in his sleep. A single ray of sunlight fell across his face, waking him, and he blinked at the blinding light.
Heero sat up slowly, putting a hand to his aching head and fighting down a wave of dizzy nausea. When the world had stopped whirling around him, he was able to take in his surroundings: he had been sleeping in a big room on one of many small mats laid out in rows on the floor. Many other people were also sleeping in the large room, but very quietly on their own mats. The air seemed thick with an eerie silence.
His eyes scanned the room for someone else awake in the room, but everyone there seemed to be asleep. Then something caught his eye: a woman, wearing a very familiar-looking uniform of moss-green and navy, was dozing not too far from him. Her dark purple hair was cut short in a military fashion, and her long bangs fell across her face, hiding it from view. She slept propped up against a nearby wall, her knees drawn up in front of her. Heero was sure he knew her from somewhere, but he just couldn't put a name to her. He felt nauseous and drowsy; his head was throbbing and it hurt to even think. He definitely did *not* feel like using his brain right now.
Suddenly he heard footsteps approach from somewhere beyond the room that seemed to echo in the still quiet, and heard the slightly muffled voices of 2 people arguing. Though he couldn't remember who the voices belonged to, Heero did recognize them as familiar:
"You stupid woman! You know we can't possibly protect all these people!"
"We have to try -"
"Most of them won't return to consciousness anyway, so why do you even bother!?!"
"These people deserve a chance, and we haven't explored all our options yet! I'm sure that if we -"
"We can't hide out here forever, Woman! Those alien creatures know we're here somewhere! It's only a matter of time before they find us . . . and destroy both us and those people you want so badly to protect!"
"We can't just leave them here!!!"
"You can't save them all Sally! If we don't leave soon, the aliens will find us and EVERYBODY will be dead!!! We might be able to save some of them by taking a select few with us when we flee, but even then our progress will suffer . . . and if we can't get to our ship and get off this colony, we can't be of use to anyone!"
"You're asking me to play God!!"
"Sacrifices must be made if we are to have any hope of pulling through this and retaliating against our new enemy!!! You are a soldier and a former resistance leader Sally --- I had thought that you of all people would understand the importance of such sacrifice for a much greater cause. I guess I was wrong; it's obvious that you're nothing more that a weak female cowering in fear of her enemies and searching for a dark hole to hide in . . . I'm ashamed to be called your partner!"
*SLAP* Heero heard the raw, unmistakable sound of a hardened, angry palm connect with soft flesh.
Then the female voice replied to the arrogant male one with a vicious snarl:
"O you should be one to talk Wufei! You're always complaining about injustice, but how just is going off and leaving tons of defenseless people as prey for alien monsters?! If that's what you call justice, then you shouldn't be ashamed of me, you should be ashamed of yourself!"
There was a pause, then she continued:
"And if you don't even have the sense enough to be embarrassed or ashamed of yourself Wufei, then I don't want to have anything to do with you. I may be a soldier, but I am a surgeon first . . . and I refuse to abandon my patients! You can leave if you like Wufei, but I'm not budging!"
Hearing a rustling noise behind him, Heero whipped his body around to see what it was --- and instantly regretted it. The wave of nausea he had carefully been keeping in check washed over him, and he vomited on himself. Immediately. 2 cool hands were placed on either side of his head, supporting it as he continued to vomit, and a voice called:
"Sally! Wufei! Heero's awake! . . . And he's puking!"
As he heard hurried footsteps approaching him, Heero thought to himself 'Great. All I need now is to soil myself.'
A clean, wet cloth and bowl were produced from somewhere, and when he had finished, he looked up to find Noin's amused face. She chuckled, and said, "So, the Perfect Soldier does puke, huh?"
He could only manage a weak glare in her direction before blacking out again.
* * *
"Owwwwww . . ." Usagi whined, "That hurt!"
"You're such a klutz Usagi!" said Rei, rolling her eyes.
All the Inner Senshi were now seated around Usagi, who had an ice-pack pressed to her face. Luna, who had arrived a bit earlier with Artemis, lay sprawled out across Ami's shoulders in her cat form.
"What are we all doing here again?" Luna asked, stretching lazily
and yawning.
"You are assembling for your next mission." said a mysterious voice.
"O, right." Luna said sleepily, shutting her eyes. Then she suddenly opened them wide again, suspicious. "Who said that?!" she asked, fur standing on end and extended claws digging into poor Ami's shoulders. ("Luna! Quit that! You're hurting Ami!" "Sorry!")
"I did." A familiar figure stepped out from among the shadows, and revealed herself to be none other than Sailor Pluto.
"Huh? Sailor Pluto?!" Everyone looked at Sailor Pluto.
"Pluto? Why are you here? You nearly scared me half to death!" exclaimed Luna.
"Is something wrong?" asked Ami.
"I need Sailor Moon's help."
Usagi's ears perked up at the mention of her name, and she asked, interested, "What for?"
Everyone looked to Sailor Pluto.
"The Negaverse has invaded a world parallel to ours, and I need Sailor Moon's help to fight it." said Pluto.
"You mean, the Sailor Senshi of that world can't handle it, right?" asked Makoto.
"That parallel world doesn't have any Sailor Senshi. It is founded upon the principles of Technology and Logic, and is totally devoid of magic . . . at least it was before the Negaverse invaded."
Ami turned to Sailor Pluto and said "Even if we were to go to this "alternate Earth", how can you be sure our powers will even work? Especially if it contains no natural magic?!"
Pluto closed her eyes and thought a while before slowly opening her eyes again. When she spoke, it was was to Ami alone: "What do you know about parallel worlds, Ami?"
"They are worlds very similar to each other, one differing from another only in minor details. . ."
"Do you know how they are formed?"
Though she was confused about where exactly this conversation was going, Ami dutifully gave the answer: "A parallel world (AN: I've decided to take the "Sliders" approach) is formed when an alternate reality (a.k.a. a possible future or event) splits off from one world to form another one, which is almost identical to the first."
"Ami . . . what if I told you that the world being invaded, which is parallel to ours, was formed when Queen Serenity sacrificed herself and the Silver Millennium to preserve the future. Queen Serenity used up all her power to send you Sailor Senshi into the future, where you had a greater chance of defeating Queen Beryl, and it was at this point that our world split into two realities. Both worlds were wiped clean of magic by Queen Serenity's superior powers, but since the Sailor Senshi could only be reborn in one of the worlds (therefore rekindling its magic), the other world would remain without magic."
"Ahhh . . . I see . . ." Ami murmured to herself, eyes bright with sudden comprehension. "since both worlds have their origins in the Silver Millennium, our powers as Sailor Senshi shouldn't be diminished or effected in any way, except maybe to be augmented (though that's highly unlikely)." She turns to Sailor Moon and the other Inner Senshi, and says, excitedly, "Isn't this GREAT you guys?!"
Several "Sure, whatever you say Ami . . ."s and "It probably would be if I knew what the heck you were talking about!"s were heard muttered under *certain* *other* *people's* breaths.
"I don't know about this . . ." said Minako, "What if the Negaverse were to invade OUR world while we were out trying to defend this other world. OUR world would have no protection against the Negaverse, and I say our world should come first!"
"I agree with Minako," added Rei. "We really have no way of knowing what's going on here while we're away, and that is a risk I don't want to take!"
"Usagi? What do you think?" Sailor Pluto asked.
"Well . . ." Usagi began, unsure.
"Listen to your heart, Usagi." The TimeKeeper gave Usagi a sweet, sad smile, to show her great faith in Usagi's ability to make decisions; she knew Usagi would ultimately make the right choice.
Taking Pluto's advice, Usagi searched her heart for an answer. Deep inside herself, Usagi felt an awakening of power, and felt also the very core of her being, the Imperium Silver Crystal (AN: sorry about the english name), begin to change. She pulled the Crystal from her chest, and gasped in surprise --- the Silver Crystal had **MORPHED!**!! Instead of a sphere or a flower blossom in shape, the Crystal had become a silver starburst. 'What does this mean???' thought Usagi.
As if reading her thoughts, Pluto stated: "It symbolizes a new Transformation. A new Transformation is required for such a task as battling evil in another world." Turning to the Inner Senshi: "All of you, and the Outer Senshi also, have received new Transformations." She handed each girl a medallion with her respective planet's symbol. "You will no longer use heshin sticks to transform, but these medallions. Sailor Moon . . . will you please transform?"
A very confused Usagi stood in front of Sailor Pluto, staring blankly at her for a moment as if incapable of comprehension. Then she blinked, and said cheerfully, "Okay!" and shouted confidently the first few words which happened to pop into her head:
"Moon Eternal Armor . . . make UP!!!!"
Glowing ivory ribbons swirled around Usagi, enveloping her body in soft white light before encasing her in shining white armor. The traditional Sailor collar adorned her shoulders and chest, also in white, and a short, white pleated skirt fluttered in an invisible breeze at her hips. (hey, she might not have wings, but she still looked pretty impressive) When Usagi's heshin was complete, Eternal Armor Sailor Moon stood before them.
But then Sailor Moon heard something, felt something, that she hadn't experienced in years . . . not since that very first day when Luna revealed to her her destiny as a Sailor Senshi, when her bejeweled odangos had lit up and she had heard Molly's desparate pleas for help(sorry again about the American names) ---
Eternal Armor Sailor Moon could hear the people of the other world cry out in anguish and despair, pleading for God --- for anyone --- to save them. She could feel irrepressible tears burn in the back of her eyes, and choked back a sob.
"Sailor Moon?" her companions asked with concern (for they could not witness the other people's plight as she did).
Sailor Moon put her hand to her mouth, trying to keep from crying but not succeeding very well.
After struggling with her emotions for a long moment, she spoke:
"Those poor people . . . they have no idea of what's happening to them, or why . . ." Sailor Moon manged at last. "They're utterly helpless when it comes to negamonsters, for all their advanced technology." Seeing the confused expressions on her friends' faces, she explains "I can see them, hear those other people suffering . . .! We have to help them - we're the only ones who can! Please . . ." she begged, ". . . help me save them!"
"I agree with Sailor Moon . . . we're the only ones who can help those poor people in that other world. How can we refuse to help such defenseless innocents?"
Eternal Armor Sailor Moon smiled brightly at Ami, before turning to the other three girls. "Please you guys . . ." she beseeched her friends. "I can't do this without you all, and those people need our help --- we're talking about the heartless Negaverse after all!"
"Well . . ." Minako began, "I'm still not all too sure about this, but . . . Okay, I'll do it! Besides, you couldn't go without Sailor Venus if you tried -- there might be super-cute guys there!!! Count *ME* in!"
"Sounds like fun!" Makoto put in. "All this peace and quiet was relaxing at first, but it's gotten boring and I'm getting restless . . . I am SO READY TO KICK SOME NEGAVERSE BUTT!!!! Count me in too!"
"I still don't like it" said Rei. "I think at least one of us should stay and make sure that the Negaverse doesn't gain a foothold here."
"That won't be necessary Rei" Sailor Pluto said from the dark corner to which she had retreated. "Small Lady and Sailor Saturn will be able to handle it I'm sure."
"CHIBIUSA!?!" the five girls exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes," said Pluto affectionately, "ChibiUsa is becoming quite a lady!"
"Well . . ." Rei said resignedly, recognizing defeat, "I guess I'll come too . . ."
"YAY!" squealed Sailor Moon, "Now we can all go together!"
Holding their new medallions high in the air, each of the four Inner Senshi shouted her heshin phrase:
"Mercury Armor . . . make UP!"
"Mars Armor . . . make UP!"
"Jupiter Armor . . . make UP!"
"Venus Armor . . . make UP!"
In a flash of blinding blue ribbons, Ami became Sailor Mercury, dressed in bright blue armor and a light blue sailor collar and skirt.
Blazing rings of fire enveloped Rei's body, and when she had emerged from the leaping flames she had become Sailor Mars, wearing dark red armor and a matching orange sailor collar and skirt.
Forks of thunder and lightning struck downwards toward Makoto, and she reached up to embrace it. It crackled and danced around her, and when she stepped out from the stormy sphere of her heshin, she had become Sailor Jupiter, clad in bright coppery armor with a green miniskirt and collar.
Ribbons in glowing orange tones swirled around Minako, who twirled in amongst them. Within moments the glowing ribbons had her decked out in orange armor and a navy blue collar and skirt, and Minako had become Sailor Venus. (AN: notice that the new uniforms have NO BOWS!!! YAY!)
Sailor Moon and the Inner Senshi just stood there the first few moments after they had transformed, chatting and admiring each other's new outfits, before Sailor Pluto got their attention by clearing her throat a few times.
"I'm assuming you are all ready to go?" Pluto asked them, almost impatiently (AN:hard to imagine Pluto impatient, huh? She's got all the time in the world!).
"Yeah, sure," said Venus without thinking, posing in front of a mirror.
Sailor Pluto waved her garnet staff around a few times, and then, in a flash of bright red, the five Sailor Senshi were falling . . . falling faster and farther then either of them had ever thought possible . . .
