Sailor Moon Z: Zodiac Senshi

Chapter 5: Danger Brewing in the Past and Present: Can Imperial Sailor Mercury Save the Day?

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon, but the Zodiac Senshi & storyline are mine. The song, "It's Gonna Be Love", is by Mandy Moore.

This fic is based on Sailor Cancer, created by Digimon Emporer.

Chibi Usa and Diana snuck off the ship the same way they had snuck onboard. They watched in awe as the Princess of Capricorn and her cat advisor met with the 11 other princesses of the Zodiac Constellations. "Our militaries can't hurt their ship. You girls will have to fight." Comet said.

"Capricorn Star Power, make-up!"

"Cancer Star Power, make-up!"

"Virgo Star Power, make-up!"

"Aries Star Power, make-up!"

"Sagittarius Star Power, make-up!"

"Libra Star Power, make-up!"

"Aquarius Star Power, make-up!"

"Pisces Star Power, make-up!"

"Scorpio Star Power, make-up!"

"Leo Star Power, make-up!"

"Gemini Star Power, make-up!"

"Taurus Star Power, make-up!"

"See, I knew they were the Senshi!" Diana whispered as the Zodiac Senshi joined hands. "Sailor Teleport!" they said, attempting to get onto the ship. As they began to fade away, a beam of black energy came down from the ship, and hit Sailor Aries. She screamed in pain as she was engulfed by the dark energy. It dissapeared, and a demon was were Sailor Aries once stood. "This must be the demons that are attacking the Senshi." Chibi Usa whispered. The demon of Aries started attacking her own constellation, as the other Senshi were turned into demons.

"Look, there are only 2 left!" Diana said as Sailor Aquarius was turned into a demon, leaving only Sailor Capricorn. Suddenly, one of the demons destroyed the tree that Chibi Usa and Diana were hiding behind, revealing them."Sailor Puu!" she screamed as it prepared to attack her.

The next day at Juuban High School Ami anxiously hurried in. "Where's the fire Ami?" Makoto asked as Ami arrived, unusually late. "Everything went wrong this morning, just becuase I wanted to be here early and see the test scores!" she yelled as she rushed by Makoto to see the results. A small crowd had formed around the list, but she broke her way through to the front. She read up from the bottom, (Usagi) and noticed a tie at first place. The name next to hers was....Ryo Urawa!

Ami had a slight smile when she walked into class. As the teacher called roll, she waited for his name. "Ryo Urawa?" "Present." he called and saw Ami turn around and smile at him. How she had waited to see him again! "Aw look, Ami-chan's boyfriend is back!" Usagi whispered teasingly. "He is not my boyfriend."Ami replied. "Right..." Usagi giggled.

"Look at those two, don't they just look meant for each other?" Atsuko asked the other Zodiac Senshi during lunch. She had spyed Ami & Urawa eating lunch together. "I sense a strong power from both of them." the newest girl said. "Well we haven't felt anything Masami." Chiharu replied. "Maybe it's just the power of romance." Kiana sighed, & Chiharu sweatdropped.

As Chibi Usa was teleported away, Sailor Capricorn was left alone with 11 demons and an unknown evil force. "Comet! What do I do!" she yeled as she barely dodged the beams of black energy aimed at her. "Try to attack them!" he advised. "But they're my friends!" she noticed the grim look on Comet's face, & got ready to attack the nearset demon, Gemini. "Capricorn Ice Frost!" the attack froze Gemini, but Virgo & Pisces broke the demon out. "Back to the ship!" Comet cried.

"Initiating launch sequence! But where to? All of the constellations have similar reports of dark ships attacking?" Sailor Capricorn asked. As the ship began to rise, it suddenly jolted. "Look, the other shp is attacking! But it damaged all of our weapons!" Comet ran a status check. They noticed a huge laser cannon aimed at their ship. "Nooooo!" they cried as it began to shoot...

"Ami-chan, I have to tell you the real reason I'm back." Urwa admitted after school at the park, where they had both just bought a scoop of ice cream from a venador. "Did your father get transfered again?" Ami asked. "Partly. It's because I felt you were in danger." he said. "I thought you lost those powers since they were from being a nijizuishou youma." "Partly. Maybe I really do have some of it still." "Maybe it's because the Sailor Senshi are against another enemy." "I know you have defeated serveral, even Chaos, but this is another part of Chaos, that might have not made it self known to you if that one Zodiac Senshi hadn't taken refuge here." "How did you know all of that Urawa-chan?" Ami asked.

"I still know what the Senshi have been doing, perhaps my relationship with you has kept that in tact. Please listen to me Ami-chan, I feel that you are in danger. This is serious." he warned her. "I promise on Senshi's honor to keep that in mind." Ami swore as her communicator began to beep. "What's the problem Rei?" she asked. "We caught 4 suspicious figures near the park. It could be those Senshi after another de-" Rei was cut off by the sound of the communicator as it hit the ground. The demon was right behind Urwa-chan!

"Mercury Crystal Power, make-up!"

"A Senshi? Aw, do I have your little boyfriend? I'll give him back if you tell me where the Zodiac Senshi are." the demon sneered. "Never! I am Sailor Mercury! Douse yourself in some water and repent!" "Too late for repentance." it taunted as it began to attack Urawa. "Ami-chan! Save yourself & the other Senshi! I'll be alright..." he said as he fell weakly to the ground. "URAWA!!!" she began to cry. As her first tear hit the ground, (much like her Shine Aqua Illusion attack) she bean to glow, and when the aura around her died down, she too was an Imperial Senshi.

"You cannot be forgiven for the things that you have done, repentence isn't enough! Mercury Ice Shards!" The attack stunned the demon for enough time for all the Senshi, including the Zodiac Senshi to arrive.

"Scorpio Poison Sting!"

"Libra Soul Judgement!"

"Cancer Sea Crest!"

"Capricorn Ice Frost!"

Sailor Scorpio upgraded Sailor Pluto's pen, and she, Sailor Saturn, & Sailor Venus joined in.

"Pluto Time Bomb!"

"Saturn Dark Destruction!"

"Venus Beautiful Golden Kiss!"

"Imperial Crystal Pure Healing!"

Sailor Moon's attack returned the demon to a Sailor Senshi with an uniform resembling a reversed Sailor Mercury's. "It's Sailor Virgo!" Sailor Scorpio cried happily as they teleported away. "Ami-chan?" a faint voice called.

"Urawa! Imperial Sailor Mecury replied, & rushed to him. "Will you be alright?" she asked, helping him stand up. As if just the right moment, their lips met. "Kawaii..." the Inner Senshi choursed quietly.
