Chapter 3: Mirage, Matt, meet the Sailor Scouts.
Usagi frowned as they rounded the corner. People were just lying in the road. They looked dead but she could 'feel' them still living. She grabbed Rei's arm. "Rei.what happened??" Ami brought out her Mercury compact computer that she had gotten when they first discovered they were the Sailor Scouts. She quietly taped a few of the keys as she tried to locate an energy source that could have caused this. As she was working Mina tapped her arm and pointed to the center of the road about 200 yards up. Standing there was a woman with long white hair and white eyes; her skin was a light tanish that was accented by her black dress. A trail of white energy (pure) was leading from every body on the ground to a small staff that she had cupped in her hands. Mina gasped reached above her head. "Venus Crystal Power!!!!" Usagi nodded and held her broach above her head. "MOON COSMIC POWER!!!!" Rei, Ami, and Makoto all reached into the air with their hand spread wide. "MARS CRYSTAL POWER!!!" "MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!!!" "JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!!!" The girls transformed into the Sailor Scouts. Usagi pointed at the woman in fury. "Hey!! You can't just take the energy of innocent people!!" The woman laughed at her. "And why not?" Rei stood up out of her crouching position and growled at her. "Because!! They have lives to live. Friends and Families that care about them." Mina nodded her head vigorously. "You can't just come to our turf and hurt innocent people. They never did anything to you!!" Ami and Makoto both nodded. "If you think you can your wrong sister." The woman just laughed harder. "And who may I ask is going to stop me?" Mina whipped around and pointed her finger at the woman. "I, Sailor Venus, the protector of love and beauty!!!" Makoto pulled her fists to her side. "You looking for trouble? Well you just found me. I am Sailor Jupiter." Rei brushed her hair to the side. "I am Sailor Mars." Ami tapped her earring and a small screen covered the top of her face. "I am Sailor Mercury!" Usagi stepped back into a fighting stance. "We are the pretty Sailor Soldiers here to protect the innocent from evil like you. In the name of the moon I will triumph over evil and bring justice, I am Sailor Moon!!!" The woman stopped her laughing and glanced at the girls. This should be interesting. "I'm Calista."
Mirage and Matt hauled around the corner and stopped when they saw five girls in fuku's and a funny looking woman down the road in a black dress. The group looked pissed off. Mirage began to walk backwards when Matt started heading towards the woman. "Matt. What are you doing? Get back here." Matt grabbed a telephone pole and tried to go back to Mirage but the energy pulling him was to strong. He looked at Mirage in desperation. "Mirage. Get out of here." Mirage shook her head and ran over to him. "I'm not going to leave without you!" She grabbed his hands and began to pull him away as hard as she could. Yet even with all her efforts she was unsuccessful. She just got dragged along with him. Matt tried to get her to let go. "Mirage!! It's not safe here. Get out of here!! Please!!" Mirage stubbornly clung to him. "No way Matt. I'm going with you. If I cant help you I'm not going to sit and watch you get hurt." Then it dawned on her. Her mother used to take her to fighting classes all the time. Mirage doubled up her fists and charged at the woman with all her might. Her fist connected with the ladies face and the woman smacked her to the ground. Sailor Moon gasped. "OH NO!! MOON TIARA ACTION!!" She ripped of her tiara and threw it at the woman. She didn't want to use a stronger attack for fear of hurting her friends. Matt screamed as the woman pulled him to her body and held him there. She placed her hand over his face and laughed as he struggled to get out of her grasp. Mirage pushed herself up off of the ground in pain. When she turned she saw Matt getting the energy suck out of him. "MATT!!!!!!" She pulled a small knife out of her purse and charged at the woman again. She stuck the blade into the Calista's back and fell to the ground as the woman threw Matt against her. The scouts took advantage of the opportunity and attacked Calista with all they had. As Calista died Mirage pulled Matt into her lap and felt his neck for a pulse. "Oh thank god!" She brushed his hair out of his face and lightly pushed his shoulders. "Matt. Matt wake up. Come on." Matt groaned as his eyes fluttered open. "What the hell happened? What did that crazy bitch do to me?" Mirage laughed. "I don't know Matt. But thank God you didn't die on me! I was so worried about you!" Sailor Mars walked up and put a hand on her shoulder. "Yea. She was so concerned she stabbed Calista right in the back, which gave us the opportunity to eliminate her." Matt smiled and sat up. "Thanks. But uhh, who are you guys?" The scouts introduced themselves. Mirage screeched. Grabbing Sailor Venus by the shoulders she screamed. "YOU'RE SAILOR V!!!!!! THE SAILOR V!!!!! O MY GOSH!!!!!!" Sailor Venus pulled herself out of Mirage's grasp. "Yea. Calm down." Mirage blushed. "I'm sorry. It's just I wish I could be like you!! I have all the books about you. Are they really accurate about you? Well I can tell they got the looks but what about you as a person?" Sailor Mars pushed between the two. "Whoa girl!! Calm down. Breathe. Look we promised someone we would meet them so we have to go okay. Sorry. But we will be seeing you soon. Bye." The scouts waved as they rounded the corner. As soon as they were out of sight they detransformed and RAN at full speed all the way to Tokyo Park.
Matt stood to his feet and brushed off his clothing that was covered in dust. Mirage wrapped herself around his neck and lightly began to sob. Matt wrapped his arms around her waist and let her cry for a bit before he spoke. "Hey Mirage. What's the matter?" Mirage pulled her face out of the crook of his neck and rested her chin on his shoulder. "I thought you were dead when that woman tossed you away. I was so scared I didn't know what to do. I'm just so happy your okay. I have never been so terrified in my life." Matt reached up to the back of her head and ran his fingers through her hair. He smiled, as he smelled it. Her hair smelled like roses and that was his favorite flower. "Well its okay now. I'm alive. That psycho is dead. We are okay. Don't cry all right. You have nothing to be afraid of now. I'm fine and I'll take care of you if anything else bad happens. Okay." Mirage pulled herself away from him and looked him in the eyes. He frowned and brushed away a few tears that were sitting underneath her eyes. Mirage smiled and hugged him again. "Thank you." They stood in each other's arms for a few moments and as the silence began to break they walked away from the street and headed to Tokyo park arm in arm.
