The Death Scout

Note: Thanks for the reviews. Sailor Saturn is the scout of silence…outer moon is the scout of death…for this story at least!

Disclaimer: If I had my way, I would own Sailor Moon, but I haven't gotten my way and I don't own it!! And Outer Moon is borrowed from my friend Princess Silver Serenity.

Chapter 2: Questions and Answers

*~*~*~*

"Who killed your monster, Raven? And how? I believe you said she could absorb any attack. How was she destroyed?!" The speaker was hidden in shadows.

"I don't know who. Some super strong attack, and I didn't know about this new person! I swear!" A small girl with raven black hair pleaded, "Please, just one more chance!"

"I'll think about it. Now leave." The strong feminine voice demanded.

Raven left and the voice called one of her other followers. "Pinshell, tell your four assassins that they only have a little longer to get my treasure!"

"Yes, my Queen." The little man bowed and left.

The three girls stopped just outside the schoolyard to detransform. "Whew! That was a close one!" Lita said as the bell rang to head back to class.

"Well, I'll see you guys after school." Serena headed to her next class, Art. 'That sure was a strange lunch.' Serena was thinking about the fight when she ran into Sakura.

"Oof. Oh, sorry. Are you alright?" Sakura started apologizing before she realized who it was. "Why were you trying to follow me around today at lunch?"

"Oh, Sakura. I'm sorry," Serena looked down at her feet, "I wanted to ask you if you wanted to sit with me and my friends."

"Even after what I did to you this morning?" Sakura was surprised at how willing this girl, with the strangest hairstyle ever, was to make new friends, even after she'd been ditched. 'Maybe I was wrong about her.'

"Yeah. I would probably do the same thing if you did what I did to you this morning and I was you." Serena smiled.

During Art class, Serena had convinced Sakura to sit next to her. They talked off and on, gaining more knowledge of each other through the class. When they were not talking, Serena was busy thinking about the fight and the new fighter who had saved their necks.

'Where was Sailor Venus? Who was that new girl who saved our lives? Is she always going to help us? What planet is she from? We have Mercury to Pluto…Earth? Why does Sakura try to stay away from everyone? Questions, questions, and more questions, but not any answers.' Serena thought while answering questions about the history of art.

'Why is Serena so determined to make friends with me? I'm supposed to only see the Sailor Scouts, the only question there is, where are they? Will they question where I'm from? Oh, Pluto. Why me?' Sakura was thinking at the same time.

Interrupting everyone's thoughts, the bell for class to be over sounded.

*~*~*~*

"So, let me get this straight. This monster, Mother Goose, would steal your attacks, and then she would turn them against you? Then, out of nowhere, this big black sphere of energy hit her from behind, causing her to explode. Then you heard someone from the trees answering Serena's questions and then say that she'll meet you again. Is that it, or is there more?" A black cat paced the floor in front of where five girls who were sitting in the temple's main room.

"Basically. She called Serena a chatterbox and then took off." Amy added.

"Where were you doing all of this, Mina?" The cat turned to the other blond of the group.

"In the middle of a test. I would have been there if I would have been able to get out of class." Mina answered quickly.

"Luna, there's nothing we can do about this new girl until we get more information about her." Another, white cat addressed the black cat.

"Your right, Artimas." Luna replied, laying down.

"How are we going to find out about her if she doesn't even show herself when she helps us? And how do we know that she will show up again?" Lita put forward the two questions that no one wanted to think about at the time.

"All we can do is believe her; she said that we'll meet again, and hope that she will eventually show herself and tell us what's going on." Raye tried to provide an answer to Lita's questions.

"Well, all it seems that we can do is wait and see. You know that new girl that showed up at school today?" Serena expertly changed the subject, "We have fifth hour together. I got her to do some talking today…" Serena went on and on about everything that had happened at school that day.

*~*~*~*

"Have you heard of the Sailor Scouts?" Sakura asked Serena out of the blue just before class the second day of school.

"Yeah! They're a super cool team of crime fighters, who hasn't heard of them?" Serena was surprised by the question, "Why?"

"I was just wondering. It would be cool to meet them. You know, get their autographs. Does anyone know where they stay when they're not fighting monsters?" Sakura asked as casually as she could.

"Uh, I don't think anyone knows where they stay when they aren't fighting monsters, and no, no one knows who they are." Serena answered. 'Or at least no one other then Molly and Melvin better know.'

The bell rang and the teacher asked the class to be quite. Since they weren't supposed to be talking, Sakura wrote Serena a little note:

Who are the Sailor Scouts? I know you know and you better not lie to me. I must talk with them. I have something important for them that I believe they could use and some additional information about who they are fighting.

S.A.

When Serena read the note, her eyes almost popped out of her head. She wrote back:

How did you know? I'll talk to them tonight and I'll tell you where you can meet them tomorrow.

S.T.

Sakura read the note and decided to finish the discussion after class.

"Serena, you can't talk to them today and give me an answer at lunch?" Sakura was persistent about seeing the scouts.

"No." Serena answered simply.

"Fine. I'll see you later, Miss Moonface." Sakura walked off to her next class. (She whispered 'Miss Moonface' just loud enough for Serena to hear.)

"What?!" Serena realized what Sakura had said too late.

*~*~*~*

"What do we do?" Mina was worried at how fast Sakura had guessed Serena's identity, if she did. "Are you sure that she said Moonface, and not something else?"

There was a knock on the door and when Raye answered, Sakura said, "Yes, Moonface was the name I called her. In fact, I know that I could give you everyone's Scout name."

"Come in, before anyone hears you!" Raye pulled Sakura through the door.

"What did you say?!" Lita was ready to do some pounding, "You didn't tell anyone, did you?!"

"No, no. I didn't tell anyone." Sakura assured Lita with a little laugh, "Sailor Jupiter, the Scout of Thunder." Then she turned to Raye, Amy and Mina in turn, "Sailor Mars, Scout of Fire; Sailor Mercury, Scout of Ice; Sailor Venus, Scout of Love." Then, as Sakura turned to Serena, she bowed and continued, "Sailor Moon, Champion of Love and Justice; Princess Serenity, daughter to Queen Serenity; and Neo Queen Serenity, the greatest Queen that ever lived."

"How do you know all of this, Sakura?" Serena stood up, alarmed.

"I am a fighter from the past, the present, and the future, farther future then you, your highness. I served your mother in the silver millennium, I am in another place at this very moment and I am from the future, during the reign of your granddaughter." Sakura explained.

"Then why did you come here?" Mina stood next to Serena.

"I said I have information about your new adversary, she is why I'm here."

"Who are you, and how do we know that you're telling the truth?" Amy spoke up.

"I am Sailor Outer Moon, the Sailor Scout of Death. All I have to do is hope that you believe me…Maybe this will help you believe me." Sakura put her hand up in the air, "Outer Moon Power!" Black light surrounded her and when it disappeared, Sakura was standing there in a black Sailor uniform.
