Warnings: Not many…Crossover/fusion…that's about all I can think of…references to the original Sailor Moon, but you can sorta think of them as re-re-incarnations…either that, or else as an alternate reality…If that doesn't work, they were tests runs! Other stuff…Not much.
Disclaimer: I dun own Sailor Moon. I dun own Gundam Wing. I do, however, own a bunch of books that have absolutely no relevance to this story, but that's not important right now!
Silver Moon (Tentative title)
Chapter 2
By AikoNamika
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Mffffff…" That was the sound that Zechs Marquise made with his face buried in a pillow on his bed after going through a magical fight against a demon while wearing a female form. In fact, he was still wearing the female form. He decided to lift his head long enough to find out the secret for ridding himself of said female form, doing so, then finding out what the heck had just happened.
"Luna?"
"Yes?' It seemed the black feline was quite satisfied with something, as she was sitting cheerfully on his bed, licking her paws, a feline smile on her face.
"How the hell do I get rid of this thing?" With the latter two words, he pointed at his slender female body. She stared at him for a second, then seemed to blush…That is, her body-language said she was, but the blush didn't show up under the dark fur.
"Oh…Sorry about that! Just touch the jewel on your chest, and say, "Moon Repeal". It should get you back to your normal self in no time!"
Zechs touched the gem and muttered the words, sighing in satisfaction as the outfit disappeared with much less theatrics than it had appeared in the first place, fading away to reveal his normal clothes and, thankfully, his male body. He sighed in bliss and dropped down onto the cushions of his bed for a second, reveling in his flat chest, then sat up, looking intently at Luna.
"Alright, now…I've got some questions, and I want some answers!" He looked sternly at her, in case she tried to weasel her way out of it. But instead she simply regarded him calmly in that infuriating way that felines everywhere seem to possess.
"Of course you do, and I am perfectly willing to answer what I can." How…How could she be so calm? He had just had his entire life turned upside down – well, maybe not the part where he really liked chocolate, but that didn't matter right now – and she could sit there and be that calm? HOW? He quickly brought himself under control, not wanting to lash out at her unnecessarily.
"So…Yeah…Um, why did you choose me to be Sailor Moon? I mean, there's plenty of real girls out there who are probably just as good for the job…I mean, I know this one girl who goes to my little sister's school, her name's Usagi, and she already wears her hair like tha-"
"NO!" Luna's sudden protest had him blinking blankly at her.
"Uh…Alright…But still, why me?" He blinked his pale blue eyes at her, waiting for her to reply as she spent a good while formulating her answer.
"Mainly it's because you have the right kind of magic for the job. It's completely unique, as well, and so it would be impossible for anyone else to play the part." Well, that explained things. Not.
"What do you mean, "the right kind of magic"? Isn't magic just…you know, magic? I didn't know there were different types!" Now Luna looked a bit offended.
"Of course there are different kinds of magic!" She was standing up, her reddish-brown eyes glaring at him. "There's the dark magic which those of the Negaverse use, then the normal spirit magic that fuels life, then there's other kinds as well! Elemental, soul magic, planet-type like yours…"
"Planet-type?" Zechs pounced on the phrasing. "Like mine? What's that mean?"
Luna began warming to her subject. "With planet-type magic, the bearer is capable of feats which relate to the planet that they are linked to. For example, the best of farmers, those producing the most tasty and filling vegetables and other foods are usually those with a touch of Earth magic. And those who seem to have affinities with other elements are touched with other magics; for example, pyromaniacs are usually tied very tightly to the planet Mars." The cat's last example had him thinking of Noin. Yep, there was a pyromaniac, through and through, though she wasn't one of those who felt the urge to burn down places and people. She just loved fire. The blond wrenched his attention back to the subject at hand.
"And mine? Moon magic, I'm guessing…But what does that do?" He was irritated. He was associated with the Moon for his magic? About the only cool thing he could think of in legends linked to the orb were those of Were-wolves, but that didn't seem like it would have much influence here.
"You hold powerful healing magic, and the ability to heal people not only from grievous wounds to their bodies, but also wounds to their souls, and their hearts." That didn't sound too bad. "You'll have some minor control over light, but you will also have very powerful offensive attacks as you become better trained." That sounded even better! Powerful offensive attacks? Woo-hoo!
He bounced to his feet and headed over to his vanity to grab his hairbrush to start working on his pride and joy as he continued thinking. A comfortable silence fell in the room as he brushed, until he dared to break it by venturing a question that had been plaguing him for a while.
"Are…Are there others like me? Other Sailors?" He was wary about the answer, but definitely hopeful that it would be yes. He didn't want to be alone for the rest of his fight against the bad guys, for that would probably wear him down far faster. And anyway, if there were more Sailors, then they could take out several enemies at the same time, and subsequently, could guard multiple places. Luna eyed him with a satisfied little smile on her feline face, and he wondered why.
"Yes, there are other Senshi. That's what they're called, by the way, Sailor Senshi. There's one for every planet in the solar system, and a few much rarer Senshi for some of the moons and asteroids. Most of them have not been awakened so far, however, so we will be seeking them out as we go." As Luna's words sank into his mind, Zechs breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad I don't have to do all that work alone!" The blond's voice was bright and cheerful as he relaxed back into the comforting embrace of his pile of pillows and blankets on his bed.
"Any more questions?"
"Yeah, just one…Where are you gonna stay?"
"Here."
"What?!" The blue-eyed man sat up abruptly and stared at the feline who was unconcernedly washing her paws.
"I got in and performed a spell on your mother and sister to make them think that I had been here all along. They won't notice the difference in the least." Zechs stared at her, then thought of how truly clueless his family could be, and nodded.
"Not like they notice anything to begin with..." He sighed, then turned and flopped down on his bed, one hand absently turning out the lights.
"G'night…"
~TBC~
Author's Note: Well, that didn't turn out too badly! I'm pretty happy with it! Figuring out just who is what for now…And sorry to say this, but pilots 1-5 will not be making very many appearances for a while. I'm following the series as best I can with different characters, and I just wanted to try my hand at writing some less-seen characters. Please tell me what you think!
