The Sorcerer
Episode #1
Serena sat at her desk, listening to Ms. Haruna drone on and on about some math problem. It had been months since any sort of enemy had made a slight attempt at trying to take over Earth, and things were actually starting to become normal again. She looked up at the chalkboard and began to copy the problems down.
"Ug, Algebra... not my strong suit.." whispered Serena as she wrote. She looked at the clock, it read 2:00.
"Just a half hour, then I'm outta here!" she whispered excitedly. She was planning on going and seeing a movie with Darien that night, and couldn't wait until she could get out of school. Serena finished copying the algebra problems down and began to work on them. She thought about Darien as she worked and by the time the bell rang, she had the problems finished! Serena looked at the completed work and shook her head a few times and then packed up her books and walked out of class. She wandered throughout the crowded hallways and finally caught up with Amy and Lita. Lita was all smiles and Amy was her usual self. Serena walked up to them and looked at Lita.
"So, who's the new guy?" she asked. Lita looked at Serena.
"No one!" she said, almost a little to quickly.
"Serena, there's no new guy, Lita's just got this crush on the new teacher, you know, oh what's-his-name... Mr. Silver, I think."
"That's Silveria, Amy" said Lita. Serena smiled and giggled a little, but she could understand why Lita had this "little" crush. In a word, he was HOT. He stood six foot ten with long white hair and the bluest eyes you had ever seen. He was really well built, and had degrees in all sorts of different fields of education, not to mention black belts in Judo, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Jujitsu. She could tell exactly why Lita was going after this guy, even though he was seven years older than her. Serena smiled, she had thrown Lita a huge birthday party in honour of her turning sixteen, she had rented a hall and a DJ with the money she had saved from her job. Everyone had been there, all her friends, and even some people she didn't really know.
"So Lita, just how long are you going to chase this one for?" asked Serena.
"Oh, shut up Serena" Serena smiled and giggled a little more. Amy looked at her watch and saw that it was 3:30!
"Guys, we have like ten minutes until the meeting starts!!" Serena and Lita looked at each other and swallowed, hard.
"Well, we had better get moving then!" said Lita, running out of the school with Serena and Amy close on her heels, and they arrived at the temple with two minutes to spare. The scout meetings had sort of become less serious in the last month or so because of the lack of enemies.
Serena and Lita walked into the fire chamber and sat down, quietly chatting.
"So Lita, have you ever seen him doing his Kata during P.E?"
"Yeah, he's got almost flawless moves! Did you see him pull that flip kick yesterday?"
"Oh yeah, that was amazing, he moves like.. like... like I don't know what!"
"He's so quiet when he moves, like his feet aren't even on the mat, almost like a panther!"
"That's it! He moves like a panther!" Serena exclaimed quietly.
Mina walked in a few seconds later, talking with Amy. They sat down and watched as Raye walked in, not in the best of spirits either. Serena looked at her friend, and she could tell that she was sick, extremely sick.
"You okay Raye?"
"No, Serena, I'm great, it just feels like someone is trying to pop my head open with a dull, rusty spoon is all." Serena swallowed hard and smiled.
"You sure you want us here?" asked Lita.
"Where else are we gonna meet up?" said Raye.
"Well, we could go back to my place"
"Yeah, and make me trek halfway across town"
"Raye, come on, I don't live that far away"
"Sure feels like it, you ever walked here?"
"Well... no, I always take the bus"
"Yeah, well..... I don't like busses... never have"
"And what's wrong with taking the bus?"
"Nothing! It's just... oh, you wouldn't understand!" screamed Raye, storming out of the fire chamber.
"What was all that about??" Serena looked at everyone, and smiled.
"Maybe we should just leave, give her some time to cool off" said Mina. The others nodded, and they got up and walked out.
"Soo.... anyone know what Raye meant with that bus crack?" asked Lita.
"Whadda you mean?" asked Mina.
"You know, the whole 'I don't like busses... Never have' bit, what was all that about?"
"That's just the cold talking" said Serena.
"I guess so..." said Lita, shaking her head slightly as she did.
"You guys wanna come back to my place?" said Lita as she looked around. The all nodded. As the walked to the bus stop, Amy looked at Serena and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Serena... how's your homework, hm?"
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that, it's finished!"
"You, finished? I can't believe it!"
"Come on, it's not like I've never done my homework before, I've just never had it finished before you!"
"Yeah, I know, that's the weird part... oh well... let's see it"
Serena rooted around in her backpack for a few moments and pulled out her math book and handed it to Amy.
"Uh, Serena... I don't know how to tell you this.... but..."
"Dammit, I knew I got them all wrong... now I'll have to start all over again and.."
"Actually, you got all of them right" said Amy.
The others stopped and turned around, looking at Serena with their jaws slack.
"Their right?"
"Yep, and I know you couldn't of cheated, you showed all your work and everything.... you sure surprised me"
"I surprised myself..." said Serena, slightly dazed. Just then, the bus pulled up and the four girls walked in and paid the fair, still a little stunned.
"Serena, having her homework done, and all the questions right as well? This has got to be a one time occurrence... never gonna happen again" Lita said to herself quietly. Serena sat down and looked at her watch, it was 4:00. The bus stopped and the four girls got off and walked into Lita's house. Serena sat down and looked around, the place was spotless, as usual.
"So, anyone have anything new to report?" asked Amy.
"Nothing around where I live," said Mina. "Though I've busted up a few muggings and even stopped a armed robbery a few days ago.... but nothing really major"
"Well," said Lita. "There's nothing going around here, absolutely nothing, you've at least got something to do around your place..."
"Same here, it's as if we've finally stopped these enemies from coming to Earth...."
"That's for sure, I haven't found anything with my computer lately, not even a asteroid or anything, it's like we've been hidden or something" said Amy, checking over her computer readouts again. Serena looked out the window and thought.
^^What if we have been hidden? Could it be that we've finally beaten off all the negative forces and saved earth? It sure would explain alot....^^ Serena looked at her watch and saw that it was almost five o'clock.
"Well guys, I've gotta be going, got a date with Darien tonight, and I gotta look my best!" she said as she rocketed out of Lita's house and caught the bus. She sat down and looked around. She smiled to herself she would be sitting beside the man she loved. The bus stopped and Serena got out and walked to her house. She walked directly to her room and chose her outfit for the night, had a shower and then changed into the outfit. She looked at the clock in her room, it was five thirty. The movie started at seven, she had a hour and a half. She heard the telephone ring downstairs. Serena sat down at her vanity mirror and began to comb her hair.
"SERENA!!! TELEPHONE!!!! screamed Sammy, Serena was out of her room like a rocket and had the telephone in hand moments later.
"Hello?"
"Hey Meatballhead" It was Darien.
"Hey Muffin... sooo, given any thought to what you want to see tonight?"
"I could really go for a action flick or somethin', but please, please don't subject me to that Titanic movie again!" Darien pleaded sarcastically.
"Well.... actually, I was thinking about seeing that new thriller... What Lies Beneath.."
"Sure, that sounds good, I'll pick you up in about twenty minuets?"
"That sounds great hon, see you then"
"See you then, bye"
"Bye Bye" Serena said as she hung up the phone. She raced back up to her room and went back to combing her hair. She parted it in the middle, grabbed one side and then began to twist it into a ball, then repeated the process on the other side. She looked at her self in the mirror, smiled, and nodded to herself. She looked great. Serena looked at the clock, it read 6:45. Serena walked outside and saw Darien pull up. She walked around the car and got in the passenger side door.
"So, what's new with you?" asked Darien.
"Not much... you noticed anything odd as of late?"
"Not really, though I have noticed a decrease in Tuxedo Mask sightings" Darien said with a sarcastic lilt.
"Yeah, I know... really weird, isn't it?" Serena said, smiling.
"Sure is, but tonight, let's forget about that and just be ourselves, hm?"
"I can do that" said Serena. They pulled up to the theatre and went inside. They exited a few hours later, Serena clinging to Darien's arm.
"Maybe that wasn't the best choice?"
"Yeah, maybe" Said Darien. They walked to his car and the drove around for a while talking. It was eleven thirty when Darien drove towards Serena's home. Serena waved goodbye to Darien from the doorway and walked inside. She stopped to take her coat off and hung it up by the large grandfather clock, it read one to midnight.
Serena watched as bronze second hand circled the clock once more and the big old grandfather clock began to chime. Once, twice, thrice.... Serena walked into the kitchen and got herself a glass of water. Four, five, six.... Serena walked into the living room and sat down, listening to the clock. Seven, eight, nine.... she picked up the T.V guide and began to peruse through tomorrow's movies. Ten, eleven, twelve..... Thirteen. Serena stopped reading and looked at the clock. It had chimed thirteen times, a bad omen, very bad.
"Stupid clock, walked just over wound or something..." Serena said to herself as she went up to her room. Serena changed into her pyjamas and slid under the covers, falling asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow. It was early morning when Serena awoke in a cold sweat. She couldn't remember what the dream had been about, or much else for that matter. She looked around, it was her room, everything was in it's place. Serena took a deep breath in and let it out slowly. It was only a dream. Serena looked at herself in the mirror, her skin was almost white and the skin around her eyes was all red and puffy, like she had been crying. It was then that Serena felt a slight tremor shudder up her bed.
"What the?" she quietly said to herself. Her communicator chimed softly. Serena grabbed it from her nightstand and opened it.
"Yes? What is it?" she said sleepily.
"Serena! Wake up!! It's me, Raye!! We've got serious problems over here!!!!" Serena was jolted from her half-conscious state by the sound of Raye's voice.
"I'll be there in a few minuets!" said Serena. She threw some clothes on and ran out of her house, towards the Cherry Hill Temple. She met up with Mina and Lita on the way.
"Either of you know what's going on over at Raye's place?"
"Nope" said Mina.
"Nada" said Lita.
"I sure hope she's okay..." said Serena as they ran down the road. they got to the temple soon after and saw a single solitary figure floating above the temple, or at least what was left of it.
He was cloaked in a long black sleeveless coat and a black facemask. The mask swirled in a myriad of colours and changed its shape constantly, one second being a fearsome demon face, the next a snarling wolf.
"What is that!?!" yelled Serena.
"I am your every nightmare, Sailor Moon!!" the being said.
"How.... what? HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT!?!"
"Because I know" it said.
Lita looked at the being, feeling herself get angrier by the minuet.
"You wanna come down here and say that!" she said, stepping forward.
"Ah, Jupiter, impetuous as ever..... no, there will be no fighting tonight, this was only to get your attention," and with that, the being snapped his fingers and the burning wreckage of the temple faded from view.
"I will tell you now, I am here to take over this pathetic mudball of a planet, and however hard you try to stop me, I will succeed"
"Yeah, and just who are you?" asked Mina defiantly.
"Why, my name is Geoff.... Geoff Silveria, Head Sorcerer of the Moon Kingdom and Chief Advisor to Queen Serenity"
"Wha... what? You're from the Moon Kingdom? Why are you fighting us then!?" Serena asked.
"You think this is a battle! HA! I could snuff you like a candle if I wanted to, but I think I will allow you the pleasure of trying to stop me.... just to amuse myself"
"But why!? We're on the same side! Why are you doing this!!"
"You think after three thousand years of wandering through the cosmos that I am going to try and make nice-nice with you five!! Please.... I don't even give a damn about you, or this planet, or even my lovely ex-ruler, all I care about now is revenge!!"
"What do you mean? The Silver Millennium ended only a thousand years ago, how could you have wandered for three thousand years?!?" yelled Amy.
"I doubted your incompetent little lack-wit guardians would tell you about me, and I don't think you would've liked it if they told you anyways, but since I'm here now, let's have at it! You see, I was, and still am, the most powerful Sorcerer this puny little galaxy has ever seen, and even though I had sworn fealty to Queen Serenity and the Moon Kingdom, there were some who would've rather seen me dead and buried. Question; Do any of you have any idea who let the Nega-verse out? Well, you can blame your own sweet Queen, because she sent me away with a great spell, and in doing so, she weakened the dimensional barriers between our realm and the Negative Realm. And the real ironic part is that I could've stopped the Nega-verse cold if I was there, but I wasn't, Ol'Queeny had sent me to the furthest reaches of the Galaxy, and it is only now that I have returned to exact my revenge. For over three thousand years I had to trek through the great cosmos, then I found out about the destruction of the Moon Kingdom, and although I was hurt by it, it did not surprise me. Queen Serenity was a great leader, but she was nowhere near the power of the Nega-verse. I have been waiting for this day Sailor Senshi.... waiting for it and savouring the feeling. Now that I am here, I will either kill you or send you on the same journey that your precious Queen sent me on, now, will you do this the easy way, or do I get the pleasure of killing you all?"
Amy looked at him.
"Queen Serenity would've only done something like that if you deserved it, she would have never acted out of spite or cruelty, you know that as well as we do!!"
"Come now Mercury... even you must remember the great court session that was held, you presided over it!" Amy looked at the others.
"Do any of you remember what he's talking about?" asked Lita.
"No clue" said Serena, her voice slightly bewildered.
"You wouldn't remember anyway! There was no point, that would've been one of the low points of the Silver Millennium, but to me it was a high point. Before I was sent away, my mind was clouded, obscured to the true potential inside me, just as you are now, but my journey clarified things, cleared my mind of all obstructions, and now I am ready to exact my revenge upon YOU, the last survivors of the Moon Kingdom, especially you Sailor Moon, your the direct link to Queen Serenity, and the way to make her pay!"
Geoff balled up his fist and crackling blue energy sparked between his fingers, then he flung the energy ball at the five girls. It impacted and exploded spectacularly.
"And that was only a taste of my power! Remember, I know who you are, I know where you live, and I can strike at any time! Beware Sailor Senshi, I will return!!!" With that, he disappeared in a puff of silver smoke.
...It's all over and I'm standing pretty

"Wha... what? You're from the Moon Kingdom? Why are you fighting us then!?" Serena asked.

"You wouldn't remember anyway! There was no point, that would've been one of the low points of the Silver Millennium, but to me it was a high point. Before I was sent away, my mind was clouded, obscured to the true potential inside me, just as you are now, but my journey clarified things, cleared my mind of all obstructions, and now I am ready to exact my revenge upon YOU, the last survivors of the Moon Kingdom, especially you Sailor Moon, your the direct link to Queen Serenity, and the way to make her pay!"
Geoff balled up his fist and crackling blue energy sparked between his fingers, then he flung the energy ball at the five girls. It impacted and exploded spectacularly.
"And that was only a taste of my power! Remember, I know who you are, I know where you live, and I can strike at any time! Beware Sailor Senshi, I will return!!!" With that, he disappeared in a puff of silver smoke.
