Yo! This is me! Sailor Universe! Back again in another action packed adventure! I do not own Sailor Moon although I wish I did! I wonder if $16.16 is enough… Oh well! ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter 1It was a hot summer day in July and five twenty-one year olds were walking over to Graeter's Ice Cream Parlor. "And tell me again WHY we couldn't take your car?" griped one of the girls.
"Because it's a nice day!" said another cheerfully.
"Nice day my ass…" grumbled the previous girl.
"She's got a point," chimed in another.
"Look you guys! I don't feel like playing peacemaker so let's just get some ice cream!" proclaimed a fourth girl. All at once they started to talk saying whether they should have brought the car or not. A shrill whistle broke out. "SHUT UP!" yelled a fifth girl. "Honestly you guys still act like we're back in school again! Priyal, we did not bring the car because it dose not fit us all, Bizz is right it's hot as hell out here, Ashley she does have a point, Rachel… just shut up," she finished.
"Thanks Madeline," they chorused.
"What would you guys do without me?" she smiled.
"Live free of tyranny…" said Rachel. "Oh crap!" cried Rachel as she took off down the street with Madeline chasing after her. Priyal just shook her head grinning. Priyal, the shortest of the group, had short black hair and brown eyes. Her Indian heritage showed clearly with her tan skin as well as her slim figure from playing professional tennis. Bizz short for Elizabeth, was your average, plain, everyday, adrenaline maniac. She loved danger and was not afraid to show it. Her arms were well toned from the competitive swimming that she participated in. She had brown curly hair and brown eyes. Ashley, the runner of the group had blonde hair with blue eyes. Her legs were muscled from all the running she did in track. Now the two running ahead were Madeline and Rachel. Madeline had long blonde hair that went down to the small of her back. She had blue eyes and her slim figure showed from her participation in dance. Most specifically ballet. Rachel on the other hand had dark brown hair. It was almost black with slight natural red highlights. Her dark brown eyes laughed and she sped ahead due to her participation in skiing. All the girls were wearing shorts except for Bizz's "skort" as well as tank tops. Finally they reached the parlor and Rachel received a whack upside the head from Madeline.
"Owwww…" moaned Rachel.
"You deserved it! And I thought you'd be used to it by now!" retorted Madeline. The other three rolled their eyes and went up to the counter. "We'll have one scoop moose tracks, one scoop cookie dough, one scoop coffee, one scoop chocolate, and one scoop cheesecake please," ordered Ashley.
"All in a cone please!" added Bizz.
In another corner of the store were a group of five boys the same age as the girls. They were chatting animatedly over the win of the USA to Portugal in the World Cup Finals.
"Oh please! Give me a break! It was a fluke!" protested one boy with blondish brown hair and blue eyes.
"Yeah right! A header into the goal was a fluke…" drawled a brown haired and brown eyed boy.
"Are you guys ever gonna give this up?" asked another blondish brown haired boy.
"NO!" yelled both.
"Okay, okay… just asking…" muttered the third.
"Well anyway, check out the ladies at the counter!" exclaimed a black haired brown-eyed boy.
"Wow…" whistled another. "She looks like one of my exes."
"Every girl looks like an ex to you!" chorused the group. The boy glared back.
Meanwhile the girls took the seats by the windows. "Those guys are staring at us…" commented Madeline.
"Really?" asked Bizz interested.
"Uh huh."
"Well well well then…" said Bizz standing up.
"Wait! Where are you going?" asked Ashley.
"To do a little flirting!" was the reply. The girls looked at each other and then scrambled after her. "Wait up!" they called.
"They're coming over!" exclaimed one.
"Just play it cool," said another.
"Hi guys!" greeted a curly haired one.
"Hi," they replied.
"Well we were just wondering why you were watching us…" another girl said.
"Way to be blunt Rachel," muttered a third.
"No reason. Just curious," said a blonde.
"'Bout what?" asked another girl.
"Never mind. Anyway, I'm Taylor," said the black haired one. "These are supposedly my friends Paul, Chris, Graham, and Hayden." (A/N: YES BIZZ! HE IS FOR YOU! lol)
"Okay, well I'm Priyal, these are my friends Rachel, Madeline, Ashley, and Bizz," replied one of the girls.
"You girls want to sit down?" asked Chris.
"No, we're going back to Rachel's. For some odd reason she has a MAJOR obsession with Rush Hour 2," said Madeline.
"DO NOT! Besides what about your obsession with M*A*S*H?" retorted Rachel.
"Whatever," replied Madeline.
"Wait did you say Rush Hour 2?" asked Paul.
"Yeah."
"You're not the Rachel I went to school with are you? At Blacklick?" inquired Paul.
"Oh my god…" gasped Rachel. All of a sudden the girls started to laugh.
"The PAUL that YOU had a crush on?!" laughed Ashley.
"Shut up you guys!"
"You had a crush on me?" It was complete chaos with laughter and accusations flying around the room. Finally ending with the realization that yes it was the same Paul, Chris was someone Madeline had a crush on, same for Priyal and Taylor, Graham and Ashley, and Bizz and Hayden.
"Now this is awkward…" commented Bizz.
"You can say that again," replied Hayden. Bizz grinned, "Now this is awkward!"
"Well we got to get going," said Rachel. "We promised my mom we'd help with dinner. Today is the the Fourth of July after all."
"Well, I guess we'll see you later…" said Graham.
"Yeah…" So with a couple of good-byes the girls left and began their trek home with five boys watching them long after they disappeared.
It was about midnight when something happened that would change the fate of those ten forever. The smell of sparklers and firecrackers still wafted through the air. Rachel's parents had retired for the night and her brothers were off back home with their families. The five girls were sitting out on the deck idly drinking cold soda and watching the neon lights appearing here and there with the lightning bugs. The silence was not deafening, but peaceful until…
"Meow…"
"Did you guys hear that?" asked Ashley.
"Yeah," said Madeline.
"That's weird," commented Rachel.
"What?" asked Bizz.
"No one around here has a cat…" said Rachel.
"You sure? It could be a stray…" said Priyal.
"I'm positive. Here kitty kitty kitty…" she called softly. Almost eerily, two SILVER eyes peeked through the brush. Cautiously a cat emerged. Not much bigger than your normal housecat, this one was much different. Besides the silver eyes, it had an unusual coat. It was striped like a tiger and had a shooting star like symbol on its forehead.
"Wow…" said Rachel. With a careful hand she reached out for the skittish cat. Surprisingly, the cat jumped into her arms.
"Such a cute cat!" said Priyal.
"I would appreciate not being called a "cat" please. I feel so inferior," said the "cat." Rachel shrieked and dropped the "cat."
"I've been searching for you for a long time Princess," said the cat.
I think I'll just stop here! lol. Like I'd do that to you…
"Shit! A talking cat! Now I KNOW I inhaled too many fumes!" exclaimed Priyal.
"Again with the cat business! And no you are not high," said the cat sighing. (A/N: That's for you Priyal! No tennis ball cans this time!) "Well I guess now is a better time than any…" continued the cat. "Where are your knights?"
"Knights?" asked Madeline.
"Yes
knights. Your protectors."
"We
don't know what you're talking about, but I sure as hell don't
need a knight protector or whatever!" exclaimed Bizz.
"Then I guess I better show you all at once who you really are…" sighed the "cat." With a strange glow and a burst of silver light, the "cat" wasn't a "cat" anymore. Instead there was a beautiful Siberian tiger standing there. In another flash of silver light there were five yells and there lying on the deck were Paul, Chris, Taylor, Graham, and Hayden.
"What the hell?" asked Graham.
"Yeah, what the hell are you doing in my backyard!" demanded Rachel.
"I'll explain everything," said the tiger.
"WOAH! WHAT THE HELL?!" exclaimed the guys.
"Settle down and take a seat," gestured the tiger. Warily the group nodded and each took a seat on the deck. "Let's begin," said the tiger. "My name is Wind. I was guardian and advisor to her royal highness Princess Selenity of the Silver Millennium."
"Wait. Isn't that just a myth?" asked Chris.
"Hon, you're talking to a cat, excuse me tiger, I'm willing to hear this out!" said Ashley. Wind nodded his approval.
"As I was saying, I was guardian of Princess Selenity. The oldest child of the moon. I was to train her to become the best ruler ever to rule the moon. However, there was a problem. She wanted nothing to do with her birthright. So she struck a deal with her mother. If her mother had another child, Selenity would be free to do whatever she wished, which was to become a protector of love and justice. A Senshi. It just so happened that Queen Serenity did have another daughter who she named Serenity after herself. So Selenity and myself traveled to the Haven. The have was the training grounds of the Senshi and Knight Protectors. There she met the people who would later be in her royal court and she became one of the most powerful Senshi that ever existed. She would later fight in the bloody Senshi Wars and upon her return to the moon; she would fight one last battle…" finished Wind.
"But why are you telling us this?" asked Rachel.
"Because YOU are Princess Selenity," he said to Rachel. It was silent. Even the crickets stopped their musical serenade.
"You're kidding right?" asked Rachel in disbelief. Wind shook his head. "But that's impossible!" she exclaimed.
"Nothing's impossible. As Ms. Ashley said over there, you're listening to a talking tiger," replied Wind.
"But if she's the Princess, how do we fit in?" asked Graham.
"You were part of her royal court, as well as her best friends and confidants. You were, as she put it, her partners-in-crime," said Wind. "Except for Paul that is."
"Why me?" asked Paul.
"Because you were her fiancé," Wind replied.
"WHAT?!" exclaimed them both.
"Perhaps it would be better if I just showed you," said Wind gently. Wordlessly, the group nodded. With another flash of silver light, the group was introduced back in time. To the time where they all wore long ball gowns, fought for the peace of the universe, and were in love… (A/N: I'll write about what happened in this part in random flashbacks throughout the story, but for right now I just want to get this chapter done!)
The flashbacks were full of pain, sorrow, loss, happiness, joy, emotions that even forbidden to feel at that time. Gradually memories of their past lives returned to them and the group awoke to their current world with a start.
"Oh my god…" was the phrase echoed by the group.
"How could we have forgotten?" whispered Priyal.
"All the pain and suffering…" said Hayden.
"Who we were…" added Paul. "Rachel, are you alright?" She was silent. Her head was bowed and with a start everyone realized the water dripping onto the deck floor.
"Rachel…" said Madeline. They saw her tense up and in a warbled voice asked, "Wind, if it's been so long, why have we been awakened now?"
"Your sister is in trouble," said Wind. Rachel stiffened.
"Are you okay?" asked Ashley. With a smile Rachel lifted her head. "Suit up guys. We're going to Japan."
"YES!" was the chorus of voices that followed the declaration. With a grin Rachel held out her hand. There in her hand was a simple silver pen with a shooting star exactly like Wind's on top. She raised it into the air…
"UNIVERSAL STAR POWER!"
A wave of silver crashed over her giving her a white bodysuit, with a twirl a silver mini skirt appeared. More silver appeared on her feet creating soft silver boots that went up to just below her knees. A silver sailor collar appeared with black highlights. With two flashes of silver a black bow appeared on the back of the mini skirt with the bow's tails going down to the backs of her knees. Another black bow appeared on the front of her chest, but this one had a black gem in the center, which was in fact a miniature galaxy. With another burse of silver light her hair was pulled back into a ponytail with a silver clip. Her hands were covered with wrist length gloves. And with a last silver burst her silver tiara appeared with a black star-like gem in the center and two dainty black opal studs appeared in each ear.
Paul let out a low whistle. "I forgot how short these things are…" commented Rachel.
"Well back off girl! It's our turn now!" chorused the girls.
"SPACE GUARDIAN POWER!" yelled Madeline.
"TIME GUARDIAN POWER!" yelled Priyal.
"NATURE GUARDIAN POWER!" yelled Ashley.
"LIFE GUARDIAN POWER!" yelled Bizz.
Like Rachel, colorful waves crashed over all the girls. Madeline was gold, Priyal a copper, Ashley a deep forest green, and Bizz a royal blue that was almost black. (A/N: As much as I would love to explain the transforming sequence, I'll just explain the outfits. As for the knights, I will not explain the sequence 'cause I'm not that sick people!)
Madeline had a white bodysuit, gold mini skirt, gold collar with scarlet highlights, gold slippers (resembling toe shoes), the same bows as Rachel only in scarlet and her front bow had an eight pointed star in gold. She also had her hair braided into one long braid with gold barrettes in it, her tiara was silver with a scarlet gemstone, and she also had wrist length gloves. (A/N: When I say wrist length gloves I mean the ones like the Outers have.) In her ears were two dainty, dangling ruby earrings.
Priyal had a white bodysuit, copper mini skirt, copper collar with navy blue highlights, copper colored sandals, the same bows as Universe and Space only hers were navy blue and had a copper eight pointed star on the front. Her black hair was held back with a copper headband. She had a silver tiara with a navy blue gemstone, navy blue star earrings, and wrist length gloves.
Ashley had a white bodysuit, forest green mini skirt, forest green collar with gold highlights, forest green high heels, her bows were gold with a forest green eight-pointed star. Her silver tiara sported a green gem as did her earrings. She also had wrist length gloves.
Bizz had a white bodysuit, blue mini skirt, blue collar with silver highlights, blue combat boots (A/N: lol. You again Bizz!), her bows were silver with a blue eight pointed star. Her silver tiara had a blue gem as did her earrings and she had wrist length gloves.
"Cute," commented Ashley turning around.
"Hayden, close your mouth," said Bizz smirking.
"Hurry up you guys! Let's get going!" exclaimed Rachel tapping her foot. The guys nodded.
"UNIVERSAL KNIGHT POWER!"
"SPACE KNIGHT POWER!"
"TIME KNIGHT POWER!"
"NATURE KNIGHT POWER!"
"LIFE KNIGHT POWER!"
In a flash the guys were completely transformed. Each had silver armor, which represented their allegiance to Paul. The same went for the silver tiaras the girls had which symbolized their bond with Rachel. Each knight had a cape, which matched his partners. Paul in black, Chris in gold, Taylor in copper, Graham in forest green, and Hayden in navy blue.
"About time!" said Bizz.
"We didn't take as long as you!" retorted Graham.
"We'll you guys just shut up!" yelled Rachel.
"Good idea," said Paul.
"Thanks," she replied. "Now let's get going!"
"Rachel…" came a voice. "Are you and the girls going to bed sometime TODAY?!"
"We're going now Mom. Sorry about waking you!" called Rachel. She winced. "Come on, let's get going." So that night an alliance was formed between ten very special people. An alliance that was a force to be reckoned with.
DONE! DONE! DONE! Finally! As you can see, there are several inside jokes in this, but the rest should be all right. I'll get the next part out as soon as possible, but until then please R/R!
Thanks!
