Sailor Moon-American Senshi
by 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. I know the Kamehameha wave is from DragonBall/DragonBall Z/DragonBallGT, which was created by Akira Toriyama and owned by Toei/FUNimation/Bird Studios. The Kamehameha wave appears courtesy of a little thing called artistic license.
Previously on Sailor Centurions
The former Sailor Soldiers and their friend Jerry were given new powers in order to battle their new enemies, the Black Moon Circus. The team was transported across the country for their first battle, where they emerged victorious.
THE SAILOR CENTURIONS
CHAPTER 3
BATTLEGROUND:ALCATRAZ
==Friday, 19 September, 1986 Rae Lincoln's house, 4:00 p.m.==
Jake Slater climbed up the trellice to the veranda and knocked on Rae's bedroom door. "Come in Jake," Rae said. "The door's unlocked."
"I know," Jake said, entering the room. "I just like to knock. Seems like the polite thing to do."
"You didn't come here to discuss manners," Rae said.
"I know," Jake said. "We need to talk."
"Jake," Rae said, slightly worried. "This isn't going to end with one of us saying "I hope we can still be friends", is it?"
"Don't worry," Jake said. "I'm not breaking up with you. I wanted to talk to you about, well, you know. . . ."
"Sex?" Rae asked. "You know perfectly well my feelings about sex."
"I know," Jake said. "Not until we're married."
"And what makes you think I'll ever marry you, Jake Slater?" Rae asked, throwing a pillow at Jake.
"Because there's only one man on the face of the Earth I'd ever let you marry, and he's in this room," Jake said, catching the pillow and throwing it back. This quickly became a pillow fight, which was interrupted by jake's communicator going off. Jake answered it. "Talk to me," he said.
"Report to base immediately," Artemis said.
"Roger," Jake said.
"What's going on?" Rae asked.
"We're needed," Jake said.
"How come only your communicator went off?" Rae asked.
"I'll explain in a minute," Jake said, turning the bevel of his watch ninety degrees counterclockwise. Rae did the same, and a second later, they were in their secret base. "All our communicators have a sensor chip in them," Jake explained." "If the main computer sends out a call to all of us, and senses two or more of our communicators within twenty meters of each other, it randomly selects only one communicator to recieve the call."
"Oh I see," Rae said.
As Jake and Rae took their seats in front of the viewscreen, Jerry, Susan, and Elizabeth teleported in.
"What's going on?" Susan asked.
"Have a seat," Artemis said. "We're about to begin the briefing."
A map of the United States appeared on the viewscreen, zeroing in on California, then San Fransisco Bay, then on Alcatraz island. "One of the minions of the Black Moon Circus has just been spotted on Alcatraz," Kaori said, as a picture of something that would perfectly blend in at Jabba the Hutt's palace in Return of the Jedi appeared on the viewscreen. "Fortunately, the island is closed to tourists today. You must travel there and defeat it before it figures out a way to reach the mainland."
"Why doesn't it just swim across?" Jerry said. "It looks strong enough to make it."
"There's a simple reason," Amy's ghost said. ""Exposure to water will weaken this particular creature. The length of time it would require to swim across the bay will most certainly kill it."
"You mean," Elizabeth said, "water affects this thing like Kryptonite would affect Superman?"
"Exactly," Amy said.
"A small yet strategically important bit of information," Jake said. "Kaori, as soon as we transform, teleport us to Alcatraz."
"I'm on it," Kaori said.
"Let's do this!" Jake said, touching the crystal of his watch. "Earth!"
"Venus!"
"Mercury!"
"Mars!"
"Jupiter!"
==Alcatraz==
"All right Mercury," Sailor Earth said as they teleported in. "Lead the attack."
"Why me?" Mercury asked. "I'm the new guy here, remember?"
"You heard what they said about who we're facing," Earth said. "And you have water-based powers."
"It's only Friday," Mercury said, realizing what Earth was suggesting, "but it's high time whatever we're facing takes his bath."
"Ah yeah," the monster said. ""Fresh meat. The Black Moon Circus will love to feast on your dream energy."
"Forget it," Sailor Venus said. "You won't be feasting on our energy."
"But I've got something for you to feast on," Mercury said. "Shine Aqua Illusion!" A tidal wave appeared out of nowhere and hit the monster full force.
The monster screamed in agony as the wave hit it. "That hurt," it said, weakened by the exposure to water.
"Well, I have plenty more where that came from," Mercury said. "Mercury Aqua Rhapsody," he said, playing a water harp that shot large drops of water which pelted the monster.
"Speed of a gazelle," Earth said, running towards the monster. As he reached the monster, he grabbed it in a full nelson. "Strength of an ant," he said, as Mercury ceased his attack. As he did, Earth picked up the monster and easily tossed it into the bay. "Get into position before that thing gets back on dry land," he said. The other Centurions lined up behind Earth and fired their energy at him, which he absorbed. He brought his hands to his right hip, bringing out an energy ball. "Kamehameha!" he yelled, shooting the energy ball at the monster, destroying it.
==Meanwhile, back at base==
Kaori, Amy, and the cats were monitoring the battle. "Good work," Luna said.
"Yes," Kaori said. "Very intelligent to use a seemingly trivial bit of information to your advantage."
"Thank you," Jerry said as he, Elizabeth, Susan, and Rae teleported in.
"Where's Jake?" Kaori asked.
"He'll be along in a few minutes," Rae said. "Since we were in San Fransisco, he wanted to pick up some sourdough bread."
==back on Alcatraz==
"Leap of a grasshopper," Sailor Earth said, and covered the distance from Alcatraz to Fisherman's Wharf in one mighy leap. As he landed, he transformed back to his civilian identity. He then asked someone he saw on the street where the nearest bakery was. He was pointed in the direction of a bakery, and he walked to it. As he walked towards the bakery, he passed a street vendor who was selling puzzles. One puzzle, which consisted of a disc made up of several rings, intrigued him. "How much for this one?" he asked, showing the puzzle to the vendor.
"For you," the vendor answered, "one dollar."
Jake got out his wallet, took out a dollar bill, and handed it to the vendor. "I'll take it," he said.
He put the puzzle in his back pocket, and entered the bakery. He could smell the aroma of freshly baked sourdough bread as he walked to the counter. "Good afternoon," the proprietor said. "What can I do for you today?"
"I'll take two loaves of sourdough bread," Jake said.
"You're just in luck," the proprietor said. "I just took a batch out of the oven just as you walked in. This is the best sourdough bread in San Fransisco."
"And San Fransisco makes the best sourdough bread in the world," Jake added. "How much for the bread?"
"Five dollars," the proprietor said. Jake took a five dollar bill out of his wallet and gave it to the proprietor. "Thank you, and have a nice day."
"Thank you," Jake said, as he left the store. He then teleported back to the base, got in his car, and drove home. At home, he took a quick shower and changed into dark grey pants with pegged cuffs, white banded-collar shirt, a dark grey jacket, and black Cuban heeled Beatle boots. He then went downstairs, grabbed the bread, and went to Dr. Anderson's house.
EPILOG
==Forty five minutes later, Dr. Anderson's house==
Jake hadn't realized he had brought the puzzle until he arrived at Dr. Anderson's house. But still, he had some time until his dad got there, and they would have dinner. Jake decided to try to solve the puzzle, just to do something. He was fooling with the puzzle, and soon noticed a distinct pattern, which made it easy to solve. When he solved the puzzle, he noticed some writing on it that he didn't understand. "I wish Amy were still alive," he said to himself. "Maybe she'd be able to help me figure out what the writing on that puzzle is saying." He set the puzzle down on the table, and thought nothing more of it.
Several minutes, the doorbell rang. "Could you get that?" Dr. Anderson said.
"Sure, Pam," Jake said. He answered the door. A minute later, he went into the kitchen, white as a sheet.
"Is something wrong?" Pam asked. "You look like you jist seen a ghost."
"It's for you," Jake replied, his voice devoid of emotion. "I'll be in the dining room, setting another place at the table."
Pam walked to the door, a bottle of black cherry flavored seltzer water in one hand. When she got to the door, she was greeted with the last sight she expected to see. Her own daughter, Amy. "Hi mom," Amy said. "I'm home."
The Anderson house was silent for an entire minute, the silence being broken by the sound of Pam's bottle of seltzer shattering on the floor. "Won't you please come in?" Pam said. "Jake's dad will be here shortly."
Derek Slater arrived ten minutes later. "Where's Pam?" he asked.
"Upstairs," Jake said. "She's filling Amy in on what happened in the last couple of months."
"Wait a second," Derek said. "Isn't Amy dead?"
"That's what Pam and I thought," Jake said. "At least until a few minutes ago, when she come to the door."
"This better not be a joke," Derek said. "Because if it is, it's not funny at all."
"It's not a joke," Amy said, coming down the stairs. She was wearing a white dress, blue denim jacket, and sandals. "I'm not yet completely sure what happened, but somehow, I came back to life." She saw Jake's puzzle on the table. "That's it!" she said, picking up the puzzle. "Someone must have solved the wishmaker puzzle and wished me back to life."
"Whoa, that's heavy," Jake said. "When I said I wished Amy were alive, I didn't actually think it would come true. You don't happen to know what the writing says, do you?"
"Of course I do," Amy said. "It says that whoever solved the puzzle need only speak his or her wish to make it come true. When you solved the puzzle, you said you wished I was still alive. Your wish was granted."
"Wait until I tell the others," Jake said. "They'll be happy to see you."
NEXT TIME ON SAILOR CENTURIONS
No monsters, no battles, no doom or gloom, just a lot of celebrating. The Sailor Centurion team throws a party to say:
