"Shanti, Kyany how are those drions coming along?"
"We're right on schedule Lord Massanich," replied Shanti. She was a pretty young girl with long white hair pulled back into a ponytail. The hair band wrapped around her ponytail was made of black leather with metal spikes protruding from it. She wore tight black leather pants and a sleeveless, short midriff leather jacket, zipped down enough that her cleavage was visible. Tall black boots and spiked leather armbands completed the ensemble.
"Two of them should be ready to test tonight," added Kyany, her twin brother. Kyany's hair was pure black and loose. He too wore leather clothing, an exact compliment of his sister's, but his were white.
"Excellent. Some of our enemies followed us through the gate. These two here are the ones I want you to target."
"Yes, master."
The twins bowed in unison and each took one of the photos Massanich held out for them. Massanich turned and headed from the room as the two studied their targets. Kyany's target was a young girl with violet hair and eyes; she was dressed in a Saint Mary's All-Girl's School uniform. Shanti's target was a boy with dark hair cut just to his chin and sapphire eyes.
"Oooh. He's cute."
Kyany smiled, "Just don't forget that he is one of the enemies. We have to capture them and bring them before our great leader. You can look, but don't get too attached."

"Your name is Rei, right?"
"Yes," Rei looked up to study her new classmate. The girl was tall and a little geeky, but still very pretty. She had straight violet hair that hung to the middle of her back. Small oval glasses sat on the bridge of her nose, not quite concealing her violet eyes. She had an easy smile and seemed to be an energetic person. "You're new here. Do you have a lab partner yet? Mine is out of town so if you don't have one yet you can work with me."
"Thanks that would be great," the girl replied, holding open the door to the science room.
"You know, I don't think I caught your name."
"Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Miyako, Miyako Inue."
The two girls continued to talk as they began setting up for their science project. Soon they had a beaker of chemicals brewing on the Bunsen Burner. Rei was leaning down to adjust the heat when the dancing flames caught her eye. She turned and stared into it, she caught a brief glance of her lab partner struggling in a circle of flame before the beaker exploded sending fragments of glass across the room and dousing the table with chemicals.

Ken Santouro brushed a strand of hair out of his blue eyes and looked down at the test. He only had four more math problems to go. He quickly finished and handed it to the teacher.
"Thank you Ken, you are free to leave."
"Thank you Maam," he bowed formally before turning to gather his things. It had been a long time since he had had this much schoolwork to do. Having cram school on top of regular school really took a bite out of his time. He was glad to be finished for the day.
As he was walking down the hall another student exited the room and followed him. He stopped and waited for the other boy to catch up.
"Hi, my name is Melvin. You're that genius, Ken Santouro, right."
Ken almost denied it but remembered his role just in time and nodded his head.
"Well it's nice to meet you Ken. I go to Crossroads High."
"Really, so do I. Do we have any classes together?"
"Yeah, we're in math together."
"Oh, that's right. I think I saw you today."
"Yeah, Mrs. H was yelling at us for gossiping."
"Yeah, I remember you now."
The two boys were out on the street now, walking in the direction of Ken's apartment.
"I heard that the mysterious Sailor Scouts stopped another bank robbery last night."
"The what?"
"The Sailor Scouts. What are you from another planet or something? Everyone knows about the Sailor Scouts. See look, I have a whole scrapbook on them," Melvin opened his bag and pulled out a scrapbook filled with newspaper clippings. "I have every newspaper printing that ever came out about the Sailor Scouts, starting with the first one, Sailor V. Sailor Moon is probably the most well known scout though…"
Ken took the scrapbook and browsed through it.
'Hm, I wonder if this could be our new enemy. Or maybe these girls are the guardians Genai warned us about. I just need more information.'
"Melvin, could I borrow this, I'll give it back. I'd like to learn a little more about these girls."
"Sure I-"
"Melvin, are you showing off that scrapbook of yours again. I really don't know why you're so interested in the Sailor Scouts anyway."
The two boys turned to see a young lady with short blue hair watching them; her blue eyes twinkled as she teased Melvin. She was dressed in a Crossroads uniform and carried her schoolbag in her arms.
"You really should stop pestering people with all that nonsense."
"But Ami, the Sailor Scouts are the biggest heroes this town has ever known. They have probably saved the world more times than we could count."
"You don't know that. Maybe they're just a myth, something we have made up in our minds to explain all the near disasters we have barely escaped."
"Ken, meet Ami. She goes to cram school too, she likes to tease me about the Sailor Scouts but secretly I think she believes they are real too."
Ami laughed merrily and held out her hand to Ken, "It's nice to meet you. Having you in school has been a real challenge, I've really had to work hard to keep ahead of you."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Ken blushed.
"Don't be, I enjoy a challenge."
"Well, I'll see you guys later, I have to get home now," with that, Melvin waved goodbye and took off for his apartment.
"Do you live in the Seaside Apartments?" asked Ami.
"Yes."
"So do I. Would you mind a little company on your walk home."
"Not at all," Ken smiled and tucked Melvin's scrapbook into his bag as he and Ami started walking towards their apartment complex.

Rei was tired, but she still followed Miyako home. The two of them had spent three hours cleaning up the mess in the lab and the sun was now setting as they were finally allowed to leave.
Rei waited for Miyako to cross the street before she slipped around the corner she had been hiding behind and dashed to the next one. She was certain that her vision meant Miyako was in danger, and she wanted to be there to protect her new friend. She could have just offered to walk Miyako home, but where was the adventure in that?
Miyako was halfway across Tnue Park when a jet of flame shot from the sky and scorched the grass next to her. Miyako glanced at the sky in terror. Floating cross-legged in the air above her was Kyany.
"Yes, I knew it!" crowed Kyany. "You are my target. Come on then, let's go."
"I'm not going anywhere," declared Miyako.
"Really, that's too bad. Droin Acici, get out her and catch that girl for me." As he spoke, he reached into a bag and pulled out what appeared to be a small marble. He threw it to the ground and it burst into a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, there was a clown like creature standing on the ground in front of Miyako.
Rei took a moment to transform before dashing across the street. In a single leap she landed on top of the park's jungle gym.
"Stop! I am Sailor Mars, the sailor soldier of fire and war. You have no right to hunt innocent people, in the name of Mars-I WILL PUNISH YOU!"
*************
"So Ken, what is your favorite subject?"
"Computers and ma-"
Ken's sentence was cut short as a bolt of lightning hit the ground between them, throwing them in opposite directions. Ken landed on his back in a bush while Ami slammed into a storefront. Ken looked up and was startled to see a young woman in black leather clothes floating through the air above her. If you could judge from her position she looked like she was sitting in a reclining chair, but there was nothing there.
"Ami! Ami are you alright."
"I'm OK," Ami replied pulling herself to her feet. Ken rolled quickly off the bushes.
"Well, I've found what I'm looking for, I guess this mission won't take too long," Shanti commented from her seat in the sky.
"I don't know what you want," Ken stated. "But you won't get it from me without a fight."
"Oooh, he's feisty. How sweet. But I am Shanti, I always get what I'm after."
"Not today."
In a flash Shanti was on the ground and had grabbed Ken's arm in an iron grip, "Want to bet pretty boy."
Much to her surprise Ken grinned at her, "Sure, do you like to dance?"
As he spoke Ken grabbed her hand and twisted his upper body, spinning her around and slamming her into the storefront sending her smashing through the window.
She sat up, battered and bruised, "Why you rotten little punk! Droin Bakiri come teach this jerk a lesson." As she spoke Shanti threw the round containment unit to the ground, it burst into smoke and Bakiri appeared out of it. Bakiri looked like a cross between a mountain goat and a Harley Quinn. It was dressed in a pink and yellow diamond suit and had a goat's head and hoofs.
"BAKIIIIII!"
The creature lowered its horns and rammed headfirst into Ken sending him flying across the street where he landed unconscious.
"Well that was easy," remarked Shanti as she floated out of the building. "Go get him Bakiri."
Bakiri started across the street when a loud voice suddenly startled it.
"Stay where you are. How dare you attack innocent teenagers"?
The voice came from a feminine figure standing on top of a nearby car; the streetlights came on at the moment illuminating the young woman in a skintight sailor suit with a short blue skirt.
"I am Sailor Mercury, the scout of knowledge and water, in the name of my mother planet Mercury-I WILL PUNISH YOU!"
*************
Miyako watched in amazement as Sailor Mars battled Acici. A shadow fell across the ground in front of her and she looked up into Kyany's face.
"Come on, we're leaving while that little simpy scout is busy."
"I'm not going anywhere with you!"
Kyany chuckled; "I'm afraid it isn't optional."
Miyako tried to run but he grabbed her arm.
"I'm going to make sure you don't get away. FLAMING CIRCLE!"
A jet of flame burst from his hand and surrounded Miyako, trapping her within the ring. Acici was losing its battle but it was leading Mars farther away from Miyako and Kyany. Already she was out of shouting distance. Miyako knew she could not count on the sailor scout to rescue her. She closed her eyes and thought about her family, how would they feel if she never returned. What about her boyfriend Ken? Would the death of someone else close to him cause him to lose it again?
'NO! I won't let that happen.'
She felt something burning near her chest and reached under her shirt to pull out her digimental, the symbols were glowing. She had no way of knowing that the images of the two symbols had also appeared on her forehead, glowing for just a second before fading. She raised the digimental over her head.
"Pure-Love digemental, ACTIVATE!"
Bright light surrounded her and the double symbol of the two crests appeared on the ground beneath her feet. Her body was floating freely in what appeared to be nothing but air. Her clothes vanished and were replaced with a new outfit. She was wearing tight light violet leggings, a knee length emerald tunic and an ankle length silver over cloak which lay open. Embroidered down the sides of the cloak were the double symbols of purity and love. The light vanished bursting the ring of flame which surrounded her.
"I am the Sailor Digemental of PureLove. How dare you try to take me anywhere against my will. PURELOVE WINDLASH."
A strong wind laced with tiny violet sparks rose up at her command and hit Kyany full force.
Kyany was knocked to the ground in an embarrassing tumble.
"I'll be back foolish Digemental, and when I return I will defeat you."
With that Kyany vanished.
************
"Attack her, I'll get the boy."
Bakiri lowered its head and prepared to attack Mercury. Mercury dodged at the last minute and Bakiri rammed into the car catching its horns in the car body.
"MERCURY AQUA RAPHSODY!"
The watery attack blasted the droin out of existence. Mercury turned towards Ken just in time to see Shanti reaching him.
Ken's blue eyes fluttered open as Shanti leaned over to grab him by his shirt.
"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!"
The attack pushed her away but did not do any damage to her or Ken. Mercury had feared to use a stronger attack because of Shanti's close proximity to Ken.
"Oh, look at that you got me all wet. How dare you. Don't you know this suit will shrink! I'll be back, you can count on it," Shanti vanished, apparently into thin air.
Mercury walked over to Ken to make sure he was all right.
He looked up at her warily, "Who are you?"
"I am Sailor Mercury. I'm a friend. Are you hurt?"
"No." He sat up and looked around at the devastated street. "Oh no, where's Ami?"
Sailor Mercury vanished into the shadows as he ran to look for his new friend.
