Sailor Moon NeoStars: What The Future Holds

Chapter 3: Jupiter's Spaz Attack

Author's Notes: This chapter will most likely be centered on Triston and his mother, Makoto AKA Jupiter. Oh, and you should also find out why Minako doesn't have a son/daughter visiting in the 20th century.

********************************************************

Back in the living room of Mamoru's apartment, seven teenagers, a twenty- one year old, and four pre-teens are sitting around, conversing, and munching on homemade pancakes. Haruka and Michiru have reclaimed the loveseat. Chibiusa AKA Small Lady is sitting on the couch between Mamoru and Usagi. Ami has found a nice cushioned chair to fall into and the other three girls - Rei, Minako, and Makoto - pulled straight back chairs in from the dinning room.

The three young boys, the last of the group, are forced to find seats on the floor. Ever the quiet one of the group, Antiny contentedly finds a seat leaning against the front of his future mother's chair. Damien places his plate on the coffee table sitting crossed-legged in front of it. Triston, after a careful study, places himself at a convenient spot where he can watch both Makoto and the Small Lady.

"So, Chibiusa, what bring you back to the 20th century again?" Minako inquired. Chibiusa gulped down a mouthful of pancakes.

"Don't eat like that." Damien told her. "You look like an animal."

"I do not look like an animal!"

"Actually, you do." Triston replied.

Chibiusa blushed deeply. "Oh, fine." She pushed herself up a little straighter. "I was helping the future guardians fight a new enemy." She began. "And there was a really big attack coming towards us."

"And Triston jumped in the way to save your squalling Senshi butt." Damien put in with venom. Chibiusa blushed. Her cheeks went pink. "Oh, and are you planning on telling them you weren't suppose to be outside the castle wall?" Chibiusa grew deathly silent. "If you had been inside where you were supposed to be, Triston wouldn't have had to come out and save you."

"That's enough!!" Triston bellowed jumping to his feet. "It's none of your damn business what I choose to do. So, just back off!!"

"Really, Damien." Antiny put in calmly. "She feels bad enough as it is."

Damien scoffed. "I don't know why you two are always defending her, when you know I'm right. One of these days, she's going to do something stupid, and we won't be able to get there fast enough to protect her from it. She's going to get herself killed, and Crystal Tokyo's going to be one less on a princess." Damien glared at Triston. "And you can't honestly say you don't think the same thing."

Triston didn't respond. Small Lady did take a lot of chances. He worried what might happen if he didn't get there fast enough. He simply didn't want her to get hurt. He plopped back down on the floor whencing as the sudden movement jolted his left side.

"Go . . . gomen nasi, Triston-kun." Chibiusa choked out. "I didn't mean for you to get hurt."

Triston looked up. "Aww, don't worry about it. That's my job. Besides, we all do stupid things once and a while."

Damien grinned. "No kidding. After all, yours truly thought it was smart to attack his future king, and his going to have the scars to prove it."

Triston rolled his eyes. "Don't remind me."

Usagi starred at the future kids curiously. Damien really did remind her of Rei. He could be way-to-harsh, but in his own way he really did it for Chibiusa 's own good.

"Are you sure you're alright Triston?" Makoto responded. "Maybe, we should look at your side again."

"No, I've taken worse hits than this." He grinned. "Mama says I'm going to give her premature wrinkles." Minako giggled at the odd look that crossed Makoto's face.

Ignoring the insanity around him, Antiny went back to typing on his computer. Ami, who like Rei and Makoto, had been looking for a chance to get to know her future son, looked curiously over his shoulder. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm trying to establish a connection with the main computer at the castle back in Crystal Tokyo so we can inform our parents of our whereabouts." The rest of the group listened in following as best they could.

"Hmm. So, what's the problem? Maybe, I can help."

Antiny turned to look at her. He silently wondered just how much she knew at this point. True she was smart, but she wouldn't know 30th century technology like his mother did. Oh, well. It was worth a try. "Well, I'm having trouble breaking through the time/space continuum between the 20th and 30th centuries. My computer is supposed to hold a direct link to the main database back in Crystal Tokyo, but that darn time-space continuum is interfering."

"I see where that could pose a problem. What have you tried?"

"Well, I was considering that our very presence in the past creates a warp in the flow of space-time. So, I've been trying to use the warp itself to help me reach the 30th century."

Ami nodded. "Makes since, but you're still going to have to break out of that warp at the right time."

"How come?"

"Because Crystal Tokyo is still running in normal space-time and the warp you created doesn't flow with the rest of the continuum. In fact, the rest of the continuum views the warp as dangerous. If you try to reach them while you're still following that warp, you're always going to hit a barrier."

"I never thought of that." Antiny reached into his sub-space pocket to draw out a long cord. Plugging one end into the back of his computer, he handed the other end to Ami. "Think you can help? It's faster with two people."

Ami smiled and nodded. Pulling out her own mini-computer, she hooked it into Antiny 's.

"The technology is a little bit different, but I can get around the really high-tech stuff."

"I think I can handle it." Antiny grinned. His mother was always up for a challenge, particularly when it was something technological.

The rest of the group simply starred with mouths a gap. "Um. . . did anyone follow that?" Rei asked.

"Nope." Damien answered her. "I don't speak genius."

Author's Notes: In this story, the future Senshi are known as guardians and the present ones as Senshi. Got that? Great!! Remember to REVIEW!!!

"Click. Click. Beep!" (R2D2 ^_^) Antiny grinned proudly. "This is it - the main database! Making his way past a couple of well-placed passwords, Antiny found what he was looking for. One final click and an image appeared on the screen.

********************************************************

Sitting in the Main Computer Room at Crystal Tokyo's Royal Castle, Guardian Mercury was working on about three different things at once. Their newest enemy was very powerful and also rather smart. While attempting to compile as much information as she could, she also wanted to work the kinks out of their battle strategy. Aside from that, she was running a search program on her son, Antiny, Small Lady, and the young Princes of Mars and Jupiter.

The night before, Mars' fire reading told them that the children were ok, but it refused to reveal their location. She was a bit worried as to why Antiny had not yet contacted her. His mini-computer held a direct connection to both the castle's main computer and the Guardian's communicators. Antiny was really the responsible on of the group, so it was quite unlikely that he would have forgotten about it.

"Click. Click. Beep!"

"Nani?" Someone was connecting to the database and according to her reading the person was a good distance away. "Hmm. No viruses attached." She moved her hand along the keypad clicking on the screen to open it. "Oh, Antiny!! It's you."

Antiny grinned. "Hai. Hi, Mom. You won't believe the day I've had."

"I was just looking for you. Where have you been? Everyone's ok I hope."

"Hai. Hai. Everyone's fine. We're all here - Triston, Damien, and Small Lady are with me. Triston took a bit of a beating, but that's nothing unusual."

"That boy. He spends more time in the hospital wing than all the other kids put together."

Antiny laughed. "Like I said, you're not going to believe the day I've had."

"Oh, really? Where are you?"

"Well, the battle went a bit over our heads, so Small Lady decided to dump us in the 20th century."

"The 20th century? No wonder I'm getting such strange readings. Hold on a minute. I'm going to contact the rest of the Guardians. They'll be glad to know you're safe."

******************************************************** *Less than 5 minutes later*

"So, you finally found them. I told you the Sacred Fire never lies." Guardian Mars came calmly into the computer room. Looking up at the screen, she noticed the window Antiny was talking from. "Hey, Antiny. Is Damien there with you?"

"Hai. He's right here." Reaching across the table, Antiny handed his mini- computer over to Damien.

"Hey. Guess what?" Damien spoke at the screen. "The infamous moonchild got herself into trouble AGAIN, and Triston and Antiny and I had to save her AGAIN."

"Now where does that sound familiar?" Guardian Mars and Rei muttered at the same time.

"Where is he?!" Mars and Mercury turned just in time to see Guardian Jupiter run into the room at top speed. Within seconds she had all but pushed the other Senshi out of the way and was starring accusingly up at the screen. "Where's is he? Where's Triston! Is he all right? Spit it out, fire boy!!" She yelled at Damien.

"Wow." Damien all but jumped back from the computer.

Triston groaned. "Not again."

"Let me speak to Triston!!"

Recomposing himself, Damien grinned. "Yes, maim." He replied giving a mock salute before handing the computer to his friend.

Triston sighed as his mother began giving him the 3rd degree. "Triston, there you are. Are you ok? Are you hurt? You're not dead are you."

Damien and Antiny snickered and Chibiusa had to bite down on her giggles. Triston sweat dropped. (Anime-style) "Mama, if I was dead, how . . ." He paused. "Yes, Mother. We're dead. Antiny conveniently figured out how to contact you from the other side." Damien cracked up and Minako giggled.

"Very funny. Triston, you're going to make me old before my time."

"You're already old." Guardian Venus replied coming up behind them wearing a grin on her face and a 4-year-old boy on her hip. (Author's Notes: So that's why Venus' kid didn't come to the past. Make since now?)

Guardian Jupiter glared at her. "Well, you know what they say. Blondes are the first to go gray."

"Nani! Me, gray? No way!!"

Luckily, at that moment Neo Queen Serenity walked into the room with King Endymion. "Sorry, we're late." Serenity apologized. Mamo-chan needed us this morning. (Author: *grins*) The Senshi all turned to see the Royal Pair. A 4-year-old boy with black hair and midnight blue eyes laid his head contentedly on his mother's shoulder.

"Don't worry about it, Sere. I know exactly how you feel." Venus replied shifted her own blonde-headed load from one side to the other.

Neo Queen Serenity smiled sweetly at one of her most loyal Senshi and turned to the screen before her. "Triston, I am going to need to speak with my daughter, if you please." Sensing what was about to happen, Mamo- chan (the little one) held his arms out to his father who willingly cradled his first-and-only son in his arms.

"Yes, Majesty."

"Uh, oh." Chibiusa mumbled unwillingly taking the computer. "Hi."

"Usa (this is what her parents call her), I heard about you taking your friends into the 20th century to escape the battle. Smart thinking."

Chibiusa grinned. Maybe she wouldn't be in huge trouble after all. "Hai!"

"But," Serenity continued. "if you had stayed inside like your father and I told you to begin with, you wouldn't have had to escape, now would you?"

"But, Mom. All the other Senshi were fighting. I'm a Senshi too! Why won't you let me fight?!"

"Usagi Small Lady Serenity, I've told you, you are not strong enough yet to be fighting with the Sailor Guardians!!" Chibiusa winced. Her mother would only use her full name if she were really upset. She looked to her father who merely nodded his agreement. Serenity continued. "When you continue to take chances like this, you risk not only your own life, but the lives of your friends as well. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Chibiusa frowned. Her mother had hit a soft spot. "Yes, maim. I was just trying to help."

Neo Queen Serenity took a deep breath and sighed. "Be that as it may, when you get home, you will have to be punish for your disobedience." Chibiusa groaned. "But as long as you're in the 20th century, you might as well stay for a couple of days. It will give you all a chance to rest and re . . . re. . ."

"Recuperate?" Mercury offered.

"That works."

"Mommy, is Onee-san going away again?" The little boy on King Endymion's shoulder asks. Looking over Chibiusa's shoulder, the 20th century Senshi stared at him as if just noticing the small boy.

"Who . . .who is that?" Usagi asks disbelievingly.

Chibiusa grinned. "That's my little brother, Mamo-chan!" She pointed to the blonde-haired boy. "And that's Micah, Venus' first baby."

"I'm not a baby!!" Micah yelled sticking out his tongue at her. "Daddy says I'm a big boy." (I'm a big kid now!! ^_^ I've been watching way too many commercials.)

"Me too! Me too!" Mamo-chan yells. "I'm gonna be big like Daddy!! Mommy, is Onee-san going away again?"

"Only for a couple of days, sweetheart."

"Oh, ok. I'm hungry!!"

"Me too." Micah yelled. "I'm hungry!!"

"We'd better go," Guardian Venus replied. "before they start a riot."

Serenity nodded. "See you soon, Usa. Remember that we love you."

"Yeah, love you to." And with that, Guardian Mercury closed the window on the computer screen.

However, just before the screen shut off, a little girl, who looked to be around six years old, slipped quietly into the room clutching a teddy bear. She had waist length aqua marine colored hair and a green sign on her left hand. Michiru did a double take. Was she seeing things?
