Sailor Moon-American Senshi

by Eugol Dlareg

I do not own any of the main characters in this story except for Gilded Rose. They are owned by someone in Japan. However, with the exception of Serena Campbell and Amy Anderson, I do own the Americanized names of the characters, as well as many of the supporting characters and villians. To make things easy, we'll just say that anything that has appeared in the manga or anime version of Sailor Moon is owned by someone in Japan, most likely Toei or Naoko Takeuchi.

LAST TIME ON AMERICAN SENSHI

Jake revealed that death awakened his real powers, those of the Avatar. He then destroyed Jedite, and as the team traveled to the future, Avatar recruited Chris Forney to assume the mantle of Gilded Rose. In the future, they learn Neo Queen Serenity is being held captive on the moon. . .

MILLENNIUM QUEST

EPISODE 5

MISSION:MOON

==Sunny Hills, California, sometime in the future==

"Enough of the chit-chat," future Jake said, handing each member of the team small wristband-like devices. "Now that we know where the queen is being held, let's go rescue her."

"What are these for?" Sailor Venus asked, putting her device on her left wrist.

"Communication devices," future Jake said. "These will allow uninterrupted communication between each of us. They will also allow me to monitor your progress from here."

"You mean you're not coming with us?" Sailor Jupiter asked.

"You will need me to get there and back," future Jake said. "Other than that, I'm needed to merely monitor your progress. Besides, you have a younger version of me."

"What if we run inot anything we can't handle?" Gilded Rose asked.

"The other Sailor Soldiers and I will be there if you need us," Susan said, as older versions of Elizabeth Minako, Amy Anderson, and Rae Lincoln entered the room.

"I'll be right back," future Jake said, as he and the 1987 Sailor Senshi team disappeared. "Too bad we couldn't tell them. . . " he said as he returned.

"They'll find out soon enough," future Amy siad, cutting him off. "I have faith in our younger selves."

==the Moon, Negaforce's compound==

As soon as future Jake left them to their own devices, the Sailor Senshi team began to plan the rescue of Neo Queen Serenity. "We should split up," Sailor Mars said. "We can cover more ground quickly that way."

"I have a better idea," Avatar said, removing a glove and placing his hand on Sailor Mini Moon's forehead. He briefly seemed to go into a trance, and when he came out of it, pointed left. "We should go that way."

"Why do you say that?" Sailor Venus asked.

"Yeah," Sailor Mini Moon said. "You touch my head for a couple of seconds, and you think you know where my mom is?"

"I'll explain as we walk," Avatar said, as the team fell in behind him.

"Well," Sailor Mini Moon said after they had been walking for five minutes. "How do you know where they're holding my mom? And how did you find out just by touching my head?"

"One of my new powers," Avatar said. "I can track someone by focusing on their DNA. The reason I touched your head is I need to have physical contact with someone related to that person by blood. Since we're looking for your mother, I used you to track her."

"Why didn't you do that back on Earth?" Gilded Rose asked. "Saved us a little walk."

"That power only has a range of about ten miles," Avatar said, stopping the team in front of a heavy oak door. "She's behind this door."

"Assume defensive positions," Dragonclaw said. "I seriously doubt this Negaforce character is going to leave the queen unguarded."

"Point taken," Avatar said. "Everyone cover me, I'm going to blow the door."

Avatar fired a blast of white energy from his right hand, which disintegrated the door instantly. As Dragonclaw predicted, the chamber was not left unguarded, as a group of demons attacked the Senshi team. The fact that an attack was expected gave the Senshi team an advantage, which they capitalized on, defeating the "welcoming committee" in a matter of minutes. They then entered the chamber, and were shocked at what they saw. They saw, floating ten feet off the floor, a giant crystal, in which was imprisoned a woman in a white strapless gown with gold trim. The woman looked almost exactly like Sailor Moon, but older. "That's my mom," Sailor Mini Moon said. "How are we going to get her out of there?"

"I can answer that question," Sailor Mercury said, as a pair of goggles materialized from her tiara. "The crystal that Neo Queen Serenity is imprisoned in is not completely impenetratable, it does have one weak spot."

"I see it too," Avatar said. "Tuxedo Mask, Gilded Rose, when I tell you, I want each of you to throw a rose at Neo Queen Serenity's left eye."

"I'm with you already," Tuxedo Mask said, taking a rose out of his jacket.

""Same here," Gilded Rose said, materializing a gold rose out of midair.

"Okay," Avatar said. "Now!"

Gilded Rose and Tuxedo Mask both threw their roses at Serenity's left eye. Both roses hit their target at the same time, and the crystal shattered. As the crystal shattered, Avatar created a shield around Serenity to protect her from flying shards, while Dragonclaw created a shield to protect everyone else. "You're free," Avatar said. "But not safe. We have to get you out of here and defeate Negaforce.

"I'm not going anywhere," Neo Queen Serenity said. "You won't be able to defeat Negaforce without me."

"In that case," Avatar said. "It would be an honor to fight alongside you. And I know I speak for the rest of my team when I say that."

"Should we split up and look for Negaforce?" Sailor Moon asked.

"No," Avatar said. "We should stick together. I'm sensing a lot of power concentrated in a small area, and I'm guessing that's Negaforce. In that event, I firmly believe in the concept of safety in numbers."

"Hey, you guys okay?" future Jake asked over the communicators the team wore.

"Yeah," Avatar said. "We rescued Neo Queen Serenity, and are searching for Negaforce."

"When you find Negaforce, give me a holler," future Jake said. "I'll send reinforcements."

"Roger," Avatar said.

After an hour of running through the halls of the compound, the team decided to take a rest. "Let's break for lunch," Avatar said, powering down.

"Are you sure that's safe?" Sailor Venus asked.

"I shielded this room," Neo Queen Serenity said. "Nothing or nobody is getting in here unless I want it to."

"Good enough for me," Sailor Moon said, as she and the rest of the team powered down. "So what's for lunch?"

"You'll find out in a second," Jake said, disappearing. He returned a couple of seconds later carrying a cardboard box containing several small paper bags, along with an ice chest.

"Is that what I think it is?" Amy asked.

"Yeah," Jake said. "Buccanneer Burger. And I stopped at the Pop Shoppe and picked up some sodas."

The team ate and talked strategy. While they were talking, Serena went to talk to Queen Serenity. "I can't put my finger on it," Serena said. "But there's something familiar about you."

"There's a good reason, Serena," Queen Serenity said. "I'm the future you."

"Okay," Jake said, said, getting up and taking a serious tone. "It's time. Let's take care of the Negaforce and restore the Silver Millenium."

"I have one thing to say about that," Serena said. "Pretty Moon soldier, Make-up!"

"Pretty Mercury soldier, Make-up!"

"Pretty Venus soldier, Make-up!"

"Pretty Mars soldier, Make-up!"

"Pretty Jupiter soldier, Make-up!"

"Pretty little Moon soldier, Make-up!"

"Dragonclaw!"

"Transform!"

"Tuxedo Mask!"

"Avatar!"

The team began to leave, but were stopped by Neo Queen Serenity. "Take this," she said, giving Avatar half of a medallion. "You may need this to defeat Negaforce. I'm carrying the other half. It will allow us to merge into a more powerful being."

"Why me?" Avatar asked.

"You're the most powerful among your team," Serenity said. "If I combined my powers with yours, we will certainly be powerful enough to defeat Negaforce. Just remember, if we do merge, we only have two hours to defeat Negaforce."

"What happens in two hours?" Avatar asked.

"In two hours, if we do not seperate, we will become permanently merged," Serenity said. "And the two of us can only merge once."

"I understand," Avatar said.

The team ventured once again through the compound, searching for Negaforce. Eventually, in the main throne room, they found their objective. Standing before them, clad in black armor, was Negaforce. "The lambs have come to their slaughter," Negaforce said.

"You're Negaforce?" Avatar said, making no attempt to hide the contempt in his voice. "I destroyed you."

"I got better," Negaforce said. "Now it's time for me to return the favor."

"Bring it on," Avatar said.
