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.

THE SAILOR CENTURIONS

EPISODE 9

SECRET WEAPONS

==Monday, 29 September, 1986 Kaori's house, 4:20 p.m.==

"So that was you last week," Serena said.

"Yeah," Jake said. "Sorry for the element of surprise, but I thought it would be too much of a distraction if I revealed myself at that time."

"So what did you call us here for?" Tom asked.

"The three of us aren't going to be able to defeat the Black Moon Circus by ourselves," Jake said, placing an attache case on the table. "It's time to bring in our secret weapon," he continued, opening the case.

"I'll call the others," Serena said.

==fifteen minutes later==

Susan, Amy, Elizabeth, Rae, and Jerry arrived at Kaori's, and were seated in front of the viewscreen. Jake walked up and placed the attache case on the table. "I don't have to tell you the Black Moon Circus is a powerful enemy," he said. "Too powerful for Sailor Moon, Prince Endimyon, and myself to defeat on our own."

"We were fortunate enough to have Gilded Rose return to action," Tom added. "However, we're going to need the rest of you."

"Excuse me," Jerry said. "In case you forgotten, Judas stole our powers."

"We were just getting to that," Jake said, opening the attache case to reveal five amulets. Each amulet representated of one of the five elemental forces, earth, wind, fire, water, and thunder. "Jerry," Jake said, handing Jerry an amulet which looked like a rock. "You will use the power of earth."

"Cool," Jerry said.

"Elizabeth," Jake said, giving her the amulet shaped like a tornado. "You have the power of wind."

"There's an ill wind blowing for the Black Moon Circus," Elizabeth said.

"Rae," Jake said, giving her the amulet shaped like a flame. "Your power is that of fire."

"And Judas is about to get burned," Rae said.

"Amy," Jake said, giving her the amulet shaped like a tidal wave. "Water is your power."

"Let me at them," Amy said.

"Susan," Jake said, giving her the amulet shaped like a lightning bolt. "You now possess the power of thunder."

"What Amy said," Susan said.

"I just have one thing to ask," Jake said. "I need you to keep your new powers secret. As long as nobody finds out that you have these new powers, we can use the element of surprise to our advantage."

"Good idea," Jerry said.

==Tuesday, 30 September, 1986 Malvern High School 7:40 a.m.==

Amy had arrived at school, and went to her locker to get her books for her first class. She then walked to her class, where she was met by Chris Forney. "Good morning Amy," Chris said.

"Good morning Chris," Amy said.

"There's something I want to ask you," Chris said. "I was going to ask you yesterday, but in all the excitement with that Judas creep, I forgot. Amy, would you like to be my date for Homecoming?"

"Of course I would," Amy said.

"Great," Chris said. "It's a date."

==Saturday, 4 October, 1986 Jake's house, 5:00 a.m.==

Jake was fast asleep, when he was awakened by Luna. "Jake," she said.

"What is it?" he asked.

"No time to explain," she said, getting his communicator from the dresser and handing it to him. "You need to answer this."

"I got it," Jake said, taking the communicator. "Who is this?" he asked.

"You know perfectly well who this is," Judas said, making no attempt to hide the contempt in his voice.

"What the f--- do you want, you sick bastard?" Jake spat the question at Judas.

"You," Judas said. "You and me, to the death."

"Two questions," Jake said. "Where, and when?"

"Orangefair Pointe," Judas said. "One hour from now. And don't bother calling for reinforcements. Your friends are already here. And just in case you have the urge to back down from my challenge, if you are not here in one hour, I begin killing them one by one. You have exactly one hour, beginning now."

"No," Jake said. "You have one hour. To live." He brought out his transformation rose and threw it at his feet. "Transform!" he said, and was transformed into Gilded Rose.

==five minutes later, Orangefair Pointe==

Gilded Rose touched down on the ground about ten meters in front of Judas. Behind Judas, tied up crucifixion-style, were Rae Lincoln, Amy Anderson, Susan Makoto, Jerry Mauser, Tom Chiba, Elizabeth Minako, and Serena Campbell. "Let them go!" Gilded Rose yelled.

"You're welcome to free them," Judas said. "You just have to get past me."

Gilded Rose took a running leap, and used his staff to vault over Judas. He landed in front of Jerry, and used a petal from one of his roses to cut the rope around his left arm. "You know what to do," Gilded Rose said, giving Jerry the petal.

"Of course," Jerry said, cutting his right arm free, and then freeing the rest of the team. "We'll be ready when you need us."

"Good," Gilded Rose said, as he rushed at Judas, making a running leap, and scoring a kick to his solar plexus. As he went down, Judas fired a blast of energy at Gilded Rose, which he easily dodged. Gilded Rose than turned his staff into an energy sword, and went at Judas with a running attack, which Judas parried by forming a sword from his own energy. The two combatants went at it in mortal combat, each with every intention of killing the other. After several minutes, Gilded Rose managed to remove the sword from Judas's hand, causing it to disappear.

At that moment, Judas noticed that the rest of the team had been freed. "No matter," he said. "I'll get you just as soon as Gilded Rose is dead."

"Ain't gonna happen," Gilded Rose said, deactivating his sword, placing his staff in a boot sheath, and connecting with a punch right in the mouth.

Judas wiped his mouth with the back of his right hand, and looked at it. Seeing his own blood enraged him, and he threw a punch, which Gilded Rose ducked, and answered with an uppercut to the solar plexus, and a forearm to the temple. While Judas was dazed, Gilded Rose went at him with a barrage of punches and kicks. In desperation, Judas threw a right hook that Gilded Rose easily blocked. Holding Judas' arm with his own, Gilded Rose connected with a palm thrust to the elbow, dislocating it. In incredible pain, Judas swung wildly with his other hand, which Gilded Rose evaded. Gilded Rose than landed a solid sidekick to the sternum, followed with a spinning sweep kick that took Judas off his feet.

After about a minute, Judas managed to get back on his feet, and reformed his sword. Gilded Rose unsheathed his staff, and turned it into a light sword. However, only having one usable arm, as well as the unusable one being in excruciating pain, put Judas at a distinct disadvantage. Gilded Rose took full advantage of that fact. Easily evading Judas' attacks, Gilded Rose chose his own attacks carefully, not trying to kill with one blow, but letting the accumulation of blows do their work. In desperation, Judas attempted a weak punch with his right arm, which Gilded Rose defended by simply cutting the arm off at the shoulder. The pain caused Judas to drop his sword from his remaining hand. As soon as Judas' sword hit the ground, Gilded Rose changed his staff from a sword to a spear, and thrust the spear in Judas' stomach.

As Gilded Rose removed his sword from Judas' stomach, he fell to his knees, and tried to speak. However, the only thing to come out of his mouth was blood. After a few seconds, Judas fell forward, dead.

Standing over Judas' dead body, Gilded Rose changed his staff from a spear back into a sword, which he used to remove the head from the body. Grabbing the head by the hair, he held it up in the air, and stood to face the tent of the Black Moon Circus, which had arrived to observe the battle. "Do you see this?" Gilded Rose asked. "This is the head of someone who, until a couple of minutes ago, was your top agent. He learned the hard way that I do not f--- around where my planet is concerned."

By this time, the other Soldiers had gathered around Gilded Rose. "In case you haven't noticed," Serena said, opening her brooch to reveal the crystal inside, "Gilded Rose isn't exactly alone." She touched the crystal. "Moon Cosmic Soldier, Make-up!" Serena said, and was transformed into Sailor Moon.

Tom waved his hand in front of his face, and was transformed into Endimyon. "It's time," he said, and nodded at the rest of the team.

Jerry nodded back. "Now," he said, holding his amulet in the air. "Earth!" he said, and became the Earth elemental, wearing black leather pants and boots, with two leather straps crisscrossed across his chest, and black leather armbands.

"Wind!" Elizabeth said, holding her amulet in the air. She became the wind elemental, wearing a light yellow halter top and miniskirt, and winged sandals.

"Fire!" Rae said, holding her amulet in the air. She became the fire elemental, wearing a red one-shoulder top, black tights, and red boots, her waist-length black hair transformed into flames.

"Water!" Amy said, holding her amulet in the air. She became the water elemental, wearing a light blue long sleeved top worn off the shoulders, aqua capri lenght tights, and bare feet with a blue band around her right ankle.

"Thunder," Susan said, holding her amulet in the air. She became the thunder elemental, wearing a purple sleeveless turtleneck, with a silver lightning bolt across the front, silver tights, and black knee-high boots with white lightning bolts on the sides.

As soon as they transformed, the Black Moon Circus sent out twenty Hellhounds to fight the team. One of them made a leaping attack at gilded Rose, who easily evaded it. He killed the Hellhound with an exploding gold rose.

Next, one tried to attack Endimyon, who sidestepped, grabbed it by the head, and twisted it, snapping its neck.

Two Hellhounds attacked Fire, who struck them down with a sword made of flame. Another tried to attack her from behind, however, Earth created a barrage of rocks to destroy it.

Wind, Water, and Thunder combined their powers to create a monsoon, which took out three of the Hellhounds, while Thunder took one out with a lightning bolt. Water, on the other hand, took a cue from Endimyon, and snapped the neck of one.

"Wind," Gilded Rose said. "Take a knee." Wind got down on one knee, as Gilded Rose got a running start.

Sailor Moon had an idea what Gilded Rose had in mind, and she was perfectly willing to cooperate. "Moon Tiara, Magic!" she said, throwing her tiara at the remaining Hellhounds.

"Gold Rush!" Gilded Rose said, transforming into pure golden energy, and merging with Sailor Moon's tiara. The combined attack destroyed the remaining Hellhounds in less than a second. After destroying the Hellhounds, the gold energy seperated from the tiara, and turned back into Gilded Rose, while the tiara returned to Sailor Moon.

Gilded Rose turned to face the Black Moon Circus tent. "We destroyed your pets," he said, as the rest of the team formed a half circle around him. "You're next!" He turned to face his teammates. "Give me everything you got," he said.

"What?" Sailor Moon asked. "What are you planning to do?"

"Destroying the Black Moon Circus once and for all," Gilded Rose said. "The only way to do that is the Kamehameha wave. Unfortunately, I don't have enough energy to do it by myself. I have to absorb energy from all of you, and channel it into the attack."

"Are you sure your body can handle that much energy?" Sailor Moon asked.

"There's only one way to find out," Gilded Rose said. "If I wasn't willing to risk my life, I would never have became Gilded Rose."

Sailor Moon, Endimyon, and the Elemental Soldiers all fired beams of energy at Gilded Rose, which caused him to glow bright white, but caused them to revert back to their civilian identities. "I hope you know what you're doing," Serena said.

"Me too," Gilded Rose said, as he turned to face the Black Moon Circus tent and took a fighting stance. He brought his hands to his right hip, and converted the energy he absorbed into a small ball between his hands. He focused his attention on the tent. The energy ball grew to the size of a baseball. "Kamehameha!" he yelled, as he thrust the ball towards the tent. As the ball raced towards its target, it grew in size, until it hit, enveloping the tent and flying up into the toposphere, where the tent, as well as the entire Black Moon Circus, was atomized.

Gilded Rose threw a gold rose at the ground between his feet, and in a puff of gold smoke, transformed back to Jake Slater. "Hooray for our side," he said, and collapsed.

"Oh God no," Amy said, as she and the others ran to where Jake had collapsed. "Don't die on us."

"Don't worry," Jake said. "Some of us are harder to kill than others. I'm just exhausted."

A police car had arrived on the scene, just as Gilded Rose fired his Kamehameha wave, and had seen Jake collapse from sheer exhaustion. He had called the paramedics, who arrived in a matter of minutes. When the paramedics arrived, they examined Jake, and noticed nothing more than minor injuries. "Anyone else need medical attention?" one of the paramedics asked.

"No," Susan said. "We're fine."

Meanwhile, more police officers arrived on scene, and managed to retrieve what remained of Judas. "Bastard got what he deserved," one of the officers said upon learning who Judas was.

==six hours later, Sunny Hills General Hospital==

Jake had awoke to find himself in a hospital bed, a nurse taking his pulse. "What happened?" he asked.

"Good, you're awake," the nurse said. "When they brought you in here, you were practically unconscious. I'll let the doctor know you're awake."

Ten minutes later, Dr. Anderson came into Jake's room, followed by Amy, Rae, and Elizabeth. "How are you feeling?" Dr. Anderson asked.

"Tired," Jake said. "But I feel a little better."

"Good," Dr. Anderson said. "I examined you when you arrived, and, as it turns out, there's nothing wrong with you, some minor cuts and scrapes notwithstanding. I'm going to keep you here for a couple of days for observation, but with with some rest, you'll be back on your feet in no time.

==epilog==

==Sunday, 12 October, 1986 Kaori's house==

The team was called to Kaori's house for what would be the last time. "Thank you all for coming," she said, placing an attache case on the table and opeining it. Inside the case were four transformation wands, one each with the symbols of Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter. Also in the case were a medallion in the shape of a dragon claw, a heart-shaped brooch, a gold rose, and a mask.

"Does this mean what I think it does?" Rae asked.

"Yes it does," Kaori said. After your victory over the Black Moon Circus, I was able to restore your original Sailor Soldier powers, as well as the powers of Gilded Rose and Tuxedo Mask."

"I have a question," Jerry said. "What's with the dragon claw?"

"That is your power," Kaori said. "It is the symbol of the Order of the Dragon's Claw. In your previous life in the Moon Kingdom, you were Jarod, an apprentice of that order. In this life, as Jerry Mauser, you have shown yourself worthy of using the power of the dragon claw."

"I like that name," Jerry said. "I guess I'll call myself Dragonclaw."

"So be it," Kaori said. "Dragonclaw."

"I have a feeling that this is not the only reason we're here," Jake said, as the team members took their respective devices.

"You are correct," Kaori said. "I called you here to restore your powers, but to also say goodbye."

"Goodbye?" Susan asked.

"Yes," Kaori said. Now that the threat of the Black Moon Circus is ended, I must leave.I am proud to have met every one of you."

"We're proud to have met you," Jake said. "If you ever need us again, you know where to find us."
