The Death Scout

Note: Sorry it took me so long to update…I'm SOOOOO sorry! I just got this chapter done, so don't expect another chapter for a long while because I'm not that far on the next one. Please R+R!!! If you want to read a truly good author, you should read some of Princess Silver Serenity's work! She's a WONDERFUL author!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own the SM characters. Sailor Outer Moon belongs to my friend Princess Silver Serenity, but Outer Star is my creation (I made her up before I ever found out about being able to post fics online) along with the rest of them that are not normal to Sailor Moon.

Chapter 12: Meeting in the Park

*~*~*~*

"Serena?" Sakura had made her way to the lack in the middle of the town park, "What are you doing out here?"

"Huh?" Sakura had startled her, "Oh, hi Sakura. I'm just gazing at the moon and admiring the lake. You?"

"I felt like I needed to just go on a walk and I ended up here." Sakura looked thoughtful.

"You want to sit here with me?" Serena looked up.

"Sure." Sakura sat down next to Serena, "Are you all right?"

Sakura and Serena had been lying on the grass near the lake and talking for about an hour when they were joined by someone else. When the two girls heard something rustling in the trees, they took it as just some little animal (there was too much noise made for an animal of any type ^-^). If they had taken it as a threat, though, they would have been prepared for what came next.

They seemed to have come out of nowhere. Then they heard, "Flash! Frame! Do what I brought you here to do!"

Before the two could respond, a bright light flashed in their eyes and they felt something holding them down. To the two trapped girls, it felt like they were stuck in a picture frame!

"Serena!" Sakura was worried about her friend.

"Sakura?" Serena sounded unsure, "What's going on? What do we do? I can't move!"

"Try transforming…I don't know what else to do." Sakura whispered, "Outer Moon power!"

"Moon Locket Power!" Serena whispered as well.

Since both girls were trying to transform at the same time, they were surprised that they were not free. Their transformations were successful, but not their escape.

"Now what do we do?!" Sailor Moon demanded.

"I don't know!!!" Sailor Outer Moon replied.

Then Serena got an idea, "What happened to the all mighty Sailor Outer Moon? I thought you were powerful enough to get out of things like this! You said you've been training for hundreds of years…why can't you get us out of this, you weak, worthless, screwed over piece of shit?!"

"Oooohhhh…the Sailor wimps are fighting! This is good!" Magnolia laughed.

"What did you say?!?!" Outer Moon was shocked to hear Sailor Moon talking that way to her.

"I said that if you were not a weak, worthless screwed over piece of shit, you would be able to get us out of here!" Sailor Moon replied harshly.

Outer Moon was speechless, but she quickly regained her voice, "Why you little…How could you?!?" Sailor Moon could tell that Outer Moon was hurt, "I trained you in your powers for three months! And this is how you repay me?!"

'I can't apologize just yet…I might have to continue on with the insults if this is going to work.' Sailor Moon did her best to keep a cold countenance, "Just thought you would like to know what I really think of you before we die!"

"Really?" Outer Moon asked softly, "Is that what you really believe?"

"You think I'm joking?! Well, I'm not!" Sailor Moon did her best to sound hateful.

"Fine!!! If that is what you think, go ahead! I'm not going to die next to someone who hates me!" Outer Moon concentrated, 'Outer Star. Grant me the use of your powers so that I may leave the person who I know hates me to die another day instead of her with me. Please.'

*~*~*~*

"Please Trista! If I don't help, she'll die!" Outer Star was begging the time guardian to let her travel back in time to help her dearest friend.

"I'm sorry. But you can't." Trista barred the way, "The scouts are not supposed to see you alive, after the fall of the silver millennium, until near the end of the reign of Neo-Queen Serenity and King Edymion.

"Why?! Why must I wait so damn long?!" Outer Star was clearly outraged, "One problem! If the two of them don't survive this fight, there will not even be a damn Crystal Tokyo!!! No Sailor Moon, no reign! And anyway, it's the Outer Moon from here!"

"Sailor Moon is with her! You may lend Outer Moon your powers, like she asked, but you can't go to them yourself!" Trista was beginning to become tired of arguing.

"I will help them, my way." Outer Star narrowed her eyes, "Outer Star Destruction Blast!" Outer Star was determined to get to her only true friend. 'I've already let her down once…I'm not going to again! Sorry Outer Moon, it's not going to happen that way.'

*~*~*~*

"DAMN IT!!!" Outer Moon was surprised that Sailor Outer Star had refused her request. 'But why?! She's never done that before…except that once in the silver millennium…but that was because she was coming herself to help…could she?…but she wasn't around during this time!'

*~*~*~*

Outer Star had detransformed and was at the door to the apartment she knew she would find the Sage of the time she was in. She knocked on the door and waited for it to open and reveal a surprised young girl.

The door opened and a younger version of Sage stood there. When she saw the Sage at the door, her countenance revealed extreme fright, "Wh-who are you?!"

"I'm you…just older." The older Sage pushed her way in, "You do know that you are Sailor Outer Star, right?" (Sage couldn't remember when she had gotten her powers. ^-^)

"Y-yeah. I've had them for about…two years." The younger Sage stuttered, "But I was told by Sailor Pluto that I'm not allowed to see any of the Scouts, Moon or Star, until the end of Neo-Queen Serenity's reign for the Moon scouts and the start of Neo-Queen Stella's reign for the Star scouts."

"I know. I'm from a time past that. But if you listen to Pluto, then your life will be full of pain and loneliness. Did she tell you that you can't fall in love either? If you do, they will just grow old and die while you don't age once you reach 25. That's how it was for me…I eventually rejected anyone and everyone. Now, I don't even get along with half the scouts!" Older Sage almost yelled, then calmed again, "You must go rescue Sailor Moon and Sailor Outer Moon. If you don't then you will never see them again because they will die now…if you don't do something about it."

*~*~*~*

"Now! You two are mine! Along with your precious silver crystal!" Magnolia laughed, "Frame! Flash! Let's go!"

"Not so fast, Magnolia!" Someone appeared from nowhere.

Sailor Moon and Outer Moon did their best to see who it was, but couldn't turn enough to get a good look at the new comer.

"She's here!" Outer Moon whispered in surprise, recognizing the voice.

"Who's here?!" Sailor Moon couldn't see the person who had just arrived.

"Who the hell are you?!" Magnolia was a bit pissed at the interruption.

"You don't remember me? Well, I'm not surprised…the only way I know who you are is because I was told…hmmm…well, you are not going to take them or the Silver Crystal!" Sailor Outer Star made her first real speech to a bad guy. (The younger one ^-^)

"Just shut the hell up!" Magnolia rolled her eyes, "You have no way to stop me! Flash, take care of that one! Frame, come to me with your prisoners!" The large frame got up from the ground and started lumbering its way to Magnolia, while the giant light bulb with arms and legs started towards Outer Star.

"I may be new to the part where I actually battle monsters and sluts like you, but you made one mistake – I am NOT weak! Outer Star Destruction Blast!!!" Outer Star fired her attack, demolishing Flash and Frame at once.

"Damn! I really was strong then!" The older Sailor Outer Star was watching from a nearby wall. When things were going the way they were supposed to, she left and went back to the time where she was supposed to be, with a smile of triumph.

"Thanks Outer Star! Sailor Moon, let's go! Outer Star Moon of Death!" Outer Moon said quickly.

"Moon and Earth Soul Sparkle!" Sailor Moon fired her attack with Outer Moon. This time, Magnolia didn't have time to escape the attacks and she turned into a pile of dust to be blown away by the wind.
