Third Time Around
Chapter 2

7:00 AM
Tsukino Residence
Sarah left for school the next morning, for once early enough that she didn't have to hurry. Of course, it didn't last.
'Hmm, my computer bag seems a bit light today.' Sarah set it down, and opened it. "Damn!" She sighed. "I forgot my computer." Fortunately, Amanda had gotten a ride with Jenny that morning, so Sarah wouldn't have to put up with her teasing her about her forgetfulness.
Sarah slung the computer bag over her shoulder, unfortunately, it slipped out of her grip.
"Oof!"
"Oops, sorry!" Sarah turned around to face the guy she had just knocked down with said computer bag. "Good thing my computer wasn't in there."
"Figures you'd have the hair to go along with the empty head, blondie." The dark haired young man said, getting up off the ground and picking up the offending backpack. "Watch where you're throwing your stuff." He handed her the backpack.
"What a jerk." She muttered. 'A cute jerk though.' She frowned, thoughtfully. 'I think I've seen him somewhere before.' Then Sarah ran back to her house.
4:00 PM
The Park
"Let's see." Sarah said, looking at the display on her VR headset. "The monster probably can't see Sailor Mars yet, so I'll gesture for her to sneak up behind it and attack it from behind." She typed the command in.
"Very good, Sarah." Luna said, looking at the text display on the computer screen. "You got it to drop the hostage."
"Right." Sarah said, typing another command. "Now Sailor Mercury casts her Shabon Spray," The results of her command popped up, and she typed in the next command. "And I have Sailor Jupiter remove the civilian from the battlefield." She typed in another command. "And I finish it off with my Tiara." The computer beeped twice, signaling the end of the scenario.
"Excellent." Luna congratulated Sarah. "You've been getting much better at doing these scenarios."
"So when do I meet the other Sailor Soldiers?" Sarah asked.
"I haven't located them yet." Luna said; which wasn't exactly true, but Luna and Artemis had decided to let Sarah discover the other Sailor Soldiers herself. "Now, don't you have Gymnastics in half an hour?"
"Oh!" Sarah looked at her watch. "You're right! I completely forgot!" Luna watched Sarah run off.
The training scenarios that Luna, Artemis, and Ann had come up with were based on past attacks and what they thought the Sailor Soldiers might come up against in the future. Sarah beat both the team scenarios and the solitary scenarios more and more frequently, and more efficiently. For now the program was just text and schematics, but the 3D version was almost operable.
The physical training was designed like an obstacle course, going over, under and around various obstacles, while dodging attacks from Ann and Alan, and taking out practice dummies with her Tiara or physical attacks.
Amanda's training was going along as smoothly, though she was mostly focusing on the physical aspect; they'd train her leadership skills when the Sailor Soldiers were assembled and Sarah found out that she was the Moon Princess.
For some reason fortune was on their side and there hadn't been many attacks by ODBs in Tokyo. To Luna, this felt rather like the calm before the storm.
"Lady Garnet."
"Your Highness." The girl bowed respectfully. She was dressed in a deep scarlet bodice with a gold collar, deep scarlet leggings, a short, bright red skirt, and a long bright red cape with a gold collar which fastened to a large garnet, and she wore a pair of short, deep scarlet boots trimmed with gold. A gold crown with a garnet set in it shone amid her long, braided, red hair. Her bright, green eyes flashed with intelligence and confidence.
"Where is the Princess, Lady?" The armored man asked.
"She is waiting for you on the balcony, my Prince."
"Thank you, Lady Garnet." He bowed to her and left.
Lady Garnet radiated a calm confidence, as she swept through the halls of the Palace. She paused for a moment to gaze up at the Earth, shining it's bluish light on the Royal Gardens, then she continued on her way.
"Lady Garnet!" A girl approached Lady Garnet, dressed in a conservative black gown and hooded cloak, the cape was fastened with a large onyx stone set in gold, and she wore a gold and onyx crown. Lady Garnet noticed that the black haired girl seemed to be rather agitated.
"Lady Onyx." Garnet acknowledged the girl. "What is wrong?"
"While I was meditating I detected a malevolent presence, unlike anything I have ever sensed." Onyx said. "I intercepted a psychic attack from it, I believe the attack was directed at our princess!"
"You must inform Queen Serenity, immediately." Garnet said firmly. "I will attend the princess."
"Of course, Lady Garnet." Onyx said, bowing to Garnet and taking her leave.
As the being neared the moon it slowed; the light around it dissipating. It hovered over the ruins of the Moon Kingdom, as it landed, the rest of the light flickered out, revealing a man with golden hair, wearing white, yellow, and gold armor.
He surveyed the wreckage, an impassive look on his face, unreadable emotion in his golden eyes. He looked at the Earth, a slight smile touched his lips. "Maybe I haven't failed." Light surrounded him as he floated into the sky. "I will find the Moon Princess." He streaked towards Earth.
"The time is right, we must force our hand if we are to possess the Moon Princess, and her power." A gray cloaked man said.
"Don't be such a fool!" Another gray cloaked figure, this one female, said. "We tried that before, and look what happened!"
"What happened," Said another gray cloaked man. "Was that we put that fool in charge."
"True." Said another woman. "She had no idea how to harness the forces at her disposal, she foolishly thought that she could control the true power of the Negaforce, when, in fact, she knew no more then the rudiments of our ancient religion, and therefore knew nothing of how to harness our great power."
"She thought herself a goddess." The first woman said. "She could have destroyed us all with that abuse of power!"
"The power of the Silver Crystal destroyed her mind; made her delusional!" A third cloaked woman protested. "She is not to blame!"
"You only say this because she was your pupil." A third man said. "Admit it, she was unstable when you started training her!"
"ENOUGH!" An old woman dressed in a black robe stood up from her throne. "You children will cease your petty squabbling immediately!"
"Yes, Dark Mother." The six gray-robed figures said in unison.
"It does us no good to fight amongst ourselves." The old woman said. "Ater is partly right, it is time to make a move. However, seizing the Princess would, as Duana said, be the move of a fool; in no small part because we have no idea who or where she is. Our first move should be locating her, it would also be a good idea to begin planting the Seeds of Chaos." She turned toward Ater. "You, Ater, will be in charge of the Chaos Seeds. Duana, you will be in charge of locating the Princess. You may use any means necessary."
"Yes, Dark Mother." Ater and Duana took their leave.
"Now, there is another matter to attend to." The crone said. "A presence entered the solar system, it made a brief stop at the Moon, and is currently on its way to Earth. Kala, send one of your Hordes to intercept it."
"Yes, Dark Mother." The third woman said.
"That will be all." The Dark Mother said. The other three left the old woman to her thoughts.
The armored man noticed a dark blotch appear between himself and his objective, he frowned. The dark blotch was on him almost immediately. It was actually several creatures; with black, leathery wings, and red eyes. The armored man stopped, and floated in the void, facing the creatures with no emotion apparent on his face. He drew his sword, the golden metal blazed as if it were made of living fire, the Sunstones on the hilt lit up, as if each were holding a piece of the sun itself.
He held the sword above his head, and it released a blinding flash of white light and incinerating heat.
6:05 PM
Sarah shrieked and covered her eyes as a blinding white light filled the sky. A wave of heat quickly followed that, raising the sixty-five degree temperature to approximately one hundred degrees in a matter of seconds; sending Sarah's equilibrium packing. She stumbled backwards and knocked into someone, sending both of them sprawling; from the sound of the "oof", that someone was male. Sarah was lying on top of him, but because of the lack of sight that both of them were experiencing, neither of them tried to remedy the situation. The blinding white light had faded away, and Sarah was gradually regaining her sight. She realized that she was clutching the shirt of the guy she was lying on in a death grip, she immediately let go and tried to get up, but the fact that her equilibrium had decided to take a quick vacation resulted in her falling back on top of him.
"I'm so sorry!" Sarah yelped in embarrassment, her vision still about as blurry as if she had her eyes open underwater in a chlorine pool at twilight.
"It's okay." The guy she had landed on said, in a slightly strangled voice.
The nice blur sat up and gently helped Sarah to her feet. He stumbled a bit, and it was obvious that he could see no better than she could. After a couple of failed attempts at walking on both of their parts, they just clung to each other for support.
"I wish the ground would stop moving." Sarah said, feeling lightheaded. "I'm feeling rather dizzy," She said shakily, clinging to him a bit more tightly. "And I'm pretty sure I'm about to pass out."
"I think there's a bench around here, somewhere." The guy said.
"I don't think I can make it that far." Sarah said, feeling her knees buckle slightly. He held on to her a bit more tightly.
"I'm Alexander Black, by the way." He said.
"Oh, I know you. You're Jenny's older brother." Sarah could barely remember what Alex looked like; she hadn't seen him in years. She groaned as another wave of dizziness set in. "Sarah Tsukino." She mumbled, fighting the unconsciousness that was trying to overwhelm her. "Whoa!" Her legs suddenly stopped supporting her weight. Alex grabbed her before she fell, and swept her into his arms, almost falling himself. "Somehow," Sarah said. "I thought that being swept off my feet would be a bit more romantic." Sarah leaned her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes, trying to fend off another wave of dizziness. She opened her eyes again and blinked a few times as her vision suddenly cleared. Alex did the same.
"YOU!?!" They both shouted in unison, as they recognized each other.
Then Sarah passed out.
Alex really didn't know what to do. First the flash of light, then some girl knocks him over, then she turns out to be his arch-nemesis (he shuddered at the memory of all the things that had been bounced off his head, years ago and recently, courtesy of Sarah), and then she passes out.
Alex checked her pulse, which was a bit fast but otherwise okay. 'She's probably just overheated.' He thought. They were right next to the Crown Game Center, which was air-conditioned, so he took her inside. There was a bench against the wall, and he sat her on it.
"Oh, what happened?" A middle aged man with blond hair asked.
"She passed out," Alex said. "I think she overheated."
"Wow." The man muttered.
"What?" Alex asked.
"Huh?" The man looked at him. "Oh, she just bears a striking resemblance to this girl I used to know."
"Oh."
"Alexander Black." Alex introduced himself.
"Andrew Furuhata." The man introduced himself. "Well I'd better get your girlfriend some water."
"She's not my girlfriend!" Alex said. Andrew chuckled.
"That's what Darien always said." Andrew said over his shoulder as he left. Alex looked perplexed.
A minute later, Andrew came back with two glasses of water, one of which he upended on Sarah's head.
"Gaaaah!" Sarah screamed, sitting bolt upright. Andrew grinned and handed her the other glass. Sarah seriously considered splashing him back, but then decided that her thirst was more important. Sarah drank the water in one breath, then she glared at Andrew and Alex.
"Feeling better?" Andrew asked. Sarah just glared at him full force. "Yep." He answered himself. He turned to Alex. "Alexander, why don't you help her home?" Alex shrugged.
"I don't need his help!" Sarah argued, jumping to her feet, and immediately falling on her butt. Alex managed to refrain from using one of the insults that popped into his head.
"Come on, Sarah." He said offering her his hand. "This has been a really weird day." She took his hand and he pulled her to her feet, and they walked out of the arcade. Meanwhile, Sarah's equilibrium came back from vacation, unpacked its bags, and settled back into it's accustomed position.
A/N: I wrote this chapter after reading "Life, the Universe, and Everything" in one sitting (at least, I think that's the one, it was from that series, anyway); it shows toward the end there.
The part written in italic is a dream/memory of Lady Garnet's reincarnation. Who she actually is won't be revealed 'til way later in the story (as in after chapter 13), but you'll get more information on this part in the next few chapters.
I've decided not to combine chapters, at least until later. Sorry if you think that the chapters are too short, but back then 6 pages (which is what this comes out to on Microsoft Word at 11 pt. Comic Sans MS) a chapter was a stretch for me; I wouldn't consider a chapter done unless it was at least 5 pages long and I could read through it without changing anything.
nina_79934 (my only reviewer thus far gives nina a cookie and everyone else an annoyed look) asked me a question about Rini (which I didn't completely understand, sorry), so I'll explain everything regarding Rini in the Intro. Get comfortable, it's a bit long and involved.
If Serena and Darien are dead, Rini will never be born, thereby creating a time paradox. The assumption of the majority of the SS & Co. was that this would cause Rini to disappear, but since she didn't, Serena and Darien must somehow come back (most likely by Rini's use of the future Silver Crystal [she had that, right?]). However, the prevalent theory regarding time travel (assuming it's possible) is that if you change something in the past, that change would simply create an alternate reality (i.e. Rini wouldn't disappear, because in her timeline, Serena and Darien didn't die). Amy, naturally, would know this.
I hope I answered your question, nina.
