Part 4: "Mercury Rising"
My name is Amy Andersen, and… well, maybe I should begin at the beginning.
When I was a young girl…well, it was only last year when my life changed forever, but I'm a young woman now. At least, Mr. Tengu thinks so, since he's always sneaking around near my bed room window back when my mother and I were living in Kyoto.
But that's another story.
Where was I? Oh yeah. So, anyway, when I was living in Kyoto, I used to visit my mom at the hospital, where she worked as a laboratory technician. It wasn't something that she liked to do, but it paid the bills. Still, her first love was working as a physician, which wasn't a surprise when she would later jump at the chance to become the head physician at Tokyo General Hospital.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
So anyway, I liked visiting Mom a lot, since her lab assistant, name's Tofu, was this fun guy who made science so interesting. I swear, the guy's "technobabble" would give even that American's character, from the TV show "Star Trek", a headache. I guess that it was his love for science and medicine that fueled my own ambitions in that field. I was surprised to learn that biomedicine wasn't a field that he wanted to practice for the long term, and, in fact, wanted to open his own practice someday. Last thing I heard, he had recently opened a clinic in one of Tokyo's prefectures. I hope to visit him someday, and thank him for inspiring me. At any rate, visiting the lab was a fun thing to do.
I didn't know that visiting the lab during a dark and stormy night would change my life forever.
For the past few days, Kyoto and much of Japan was experiencing tremendous weather problems. As a rule, my mom wanted me to go straight to the hospital during such times. Why? I don't know. I guess she wanted to make sure that I was safe. Since her lab section was indoors, I would be as safe as I can be.
Unfortunately, I would be wrong in that estimation.
Like always, I was doing my homework at mom's desk while Tofu and mom wrapped things up for the day. Suddenly, an electrical surge, caused by a bolt of lightning, ran throughout the building. Unfortunately, Tofu hadn't shut down the main server, which connected the lab's computer with others around the world, just yet. So the surge of electricity went forth and exploded outward. Tofu, being a martial artist, immediately covered mom's body with his. Out of desperation, I got up to see if mom was okay, but a second surge exploded near mom's chemicals. Caught in the blast, I was blown across the room. The last thing I could hear before blacking out, was my mom's screams.
When I came to, I was in a hospital bed. Both mom and Tofu were there by my bedside.
"Thank goodness you are okay!" Mother cried.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling…okay, I guess, Tofu-sama," I replied.
"No need to get so informal, Amy. I've known you for years."
"I suppose so…"
"Listen, I've decided to go ahead and apply for that physician position in Tokyo. Tofu, you should get out of the lab business."
"Of course. They do need someone to run the clinic in the Nerima district…"
"Amy, I promise you that I'll never be careless again. You're my little girl, after all."
"Oh, Mom! I'm not a baby, you know!"
Six months later, Mom had successfully gained a position as the head physician at Tokyo General Hospital, and Tofu went back to his old medical school to revitalize his credentials as both a medical doctor and a Traditional Chinese Medicine specialist. Meanwhile, I was slowly recovering from my ordeal. Or, at least I thought I was. In the beginning, my senses seemed a bit off. Everything around me felt…slow to me. I didn't even realized that the lab accident had affected me, until my mother saw me perform a series of Tai Chi forms in the park. Whenever we train together, she insists that I video tape my forms, as a form of self- critiquing. Personally, I thought she just wanted to fill her library with "Kodak moments". Anyway, ever since I was little, Mom insisted that I studied this art as a way of gaining coordination; it did help that she was also a student of the Art herself, and had won in a series of tournaments when she was a teenager her self.
"Amy, what are you doing?"
"I'm doing forms, Mom."
"I see. Amy, I'm going to perform forms as well. See if you can keep up."
"O…okay."
Mom began her tai chi forms as she always did. Very methodically, she increased the pace of her movements. I followed suit. After running through the entire series, we ended our session.
"Amy, I'm going to rewind the tape, so that we will examine your movements."
"Alright," I shrugged. Why is she making a big deal over this?
"Alright, now take a look."
As I looked at the play back, my jaw dropped. Could this be right?
"Is the camcorder working right? I swear that we are moving WAY to fast."
"Okay, okay. I need to ask you this question, and it may sound a bit strange. Do you perceive everything around as moving very slow?"
"Yea…yes. How did you know?"
"Because…well, watch."
Mom simply blinked out of existence, and appeared on the other side of the park. She waved her hand, and suddenly reappeared in front of me.
"How did you move so fast?" I asked.
"I'll explain some more after one more demonstration. Remember 'Mr. Twinkles'?"
"Yes?"
"Watch."
A moment later, Mom reappeared with my old stuffed bear. I know for a fact that she didn't have it when we went to the park
"Mom, are you going to tell me what's going on?!" I was at loose ends at this point.
"I will…if you can keep up with me." With that, Mom ran out of the park.
"Mom! Wait up!" And off I went.
Mom and I ran through the entire city of Kyoto, virtually invisible to the naked eye. While in mid-stride, Mom told me that I was the descendent of an American superhero, who had met my Japanese grandmother at the end of Korean War. Mom told me that she, herself, had become a hero in her own right (known as "The East Wind") before she met my own father. Once she had me, Mom gave up the business for a more domestic life (though she does apprehend the occasional criminal now and again). I was amazed by this revelation, but was angry that she would keep such knowledge away from me. Still, I was pretty stoked about being able to run faster than the wind itself. We ended up on a hill over-looking the city, which was pretty far.
"Ohkamiohkamiohkami-!"
"Slow down, Amy. Just breathe slowly."
"That was SO neat."
"I know. The first time can be a heady experience."
"I guess."
"Listen to me carefully. I'll teach you how to use your powers, but what you do with them is up to you. I used my powers for the benefit of people's welfare. What about you?"
I simply nodded in recognition of the great responsibility that I was facing. It would be by necessity, not by choice, that I would be thrust into the role of the superhero.
While we were setting up house in Tokyo, I secretly practiced the use of my powers. At the same time, I enrolled in new school. Supposedly, Crossroads Middle School was a reasonably good school to attend, though classes weren't that much of a challenge for me of course. What was interesting was this girl I met at school. In fact, she was the only one who was willing to approach me. Some how, this geek named Melvin was spreading rumors about me, by saying that I was some sort of weirdo. Me a weirdo? Please. After what I had planned to do to him, I'd think the school at would have to reassess who was the school weirdo. With my powers, I could easily pull my prank on him. That is, if it hadn't been for Serena's interference.
During the lunch break, I hid behind a tree, waiting to strike. De- pants him? I thought. Naw, to cliché. A bucket of water over the head? Too classic. What about-?
"Wha cha doing?"
I turned around to see Serena simply standing. How did she sneak up behind me?
"Oh, nothing. I wanted to see the lay of the playground."
"I see. For a moment there I thought you were about to prank Melvin or something for spreading rumors about you."
"Maybe. You're going to tell on me?"
"Me? And miss all the fun? Please. Can I join in?"
"Why would you help me get you friend?"
"One, rumors are bad, and two, Melvin tells the worst type of rumors. An object lesson is in order, I think."
I smiled at the thought.
"So you see, Molly, my intellect is vastly superior than most students here."
"Melvin," Molly began, "there's a fly on your nose."
"I don't see any…"
POW!
"Oops. I guess I missed."
"OWWIE!" cried Melvin.
"Serves you right! If you change that superior attitude of yours, we can be friends again. Humph!"
After Molly walks away, Melvin picks himself up.
"What she do that for?"
WHOOSH!
Whoa, Melvin thought. What was that?
"Hey! Get a load of Melvin?" Someone yelled.
"Why is everyone staring at me?" Melvin asked himself.
Suddenly Melvin realized that he was feeling a draft where he shouldn't have. He looked down, and saw that he was wearing a girl's uniform.
"Oh my god-!"
"And he's wearing make-up and a new hair-style, too!" said another student.
"Does anybody have a mirror?" Melvin asked.
"Here," said Molly, as she returned to the scene. She originally wanted to apologize for blowing up at Melvin, but was shocked to his change of attire.
"Thanks." Melvin took the mirror and examined his face. Sure enough he looked like a cross dresser.
"Nice legs," Molly commented.
"WAH!" Melvin screamed, as he ran back to the school building.
"That was SO cool," said Serena, as she continued to crack up.
"I must say, your methodology is quite effective," replied Amy. "Heh."
"Well, we better get back to class. I'm sure Miss Haruna will be done what she always does shortly. But seriously, I didn't know you could move so fast."
"And I you."
"Listen. Would you like to be my jogging buddy? I like to keep in shape as much as possible, especially with the amount of food I inhale."
"Well, I would be honored. But I must warn you. You might not be able to keep up with me."
"As IF. This afternoon, let's have a race, and see who's the faster."
"Can't. I got school after school. I'm taking computer classes."
"Fine. What about Sunday then?"
"That'll be okay.
"Great! Let's roll."
Meanwhile, back in the Negaverse…
"Jadeite, report," said Queen Baryl.
"Our operations are a success so far," replied the Dark General. "There is no way that the infernal Sailor Moon will know about it."
"See that you make sure of it. I would hate to loose such an ambitious general."
"Yes, Your Darkness."
"So you think Amy is working for the Negaverse? What are you, high?"
"My indulgence in cat-nip is not at issue," replied Luna. "Serena, what is at issue is the fact that Amy possess strange powers. Who else could provide them, but someone from the Negaverse?"
"I'm telling you she isn't a part of the Negaverse. And to prove it, we'll just have visit Amy's computer school."
"Great! I knew you'll see it my way!"
"…"
I go to my computer programming school like I always do. I arrive just as the session begins.
"Okay, please begin your exercises," the lab technician begins. "I have a surprise for those who finish quickly."
I begin the exercises. Strangely, I began to notice a strange pattern being emitted from the screen. I used my enhanced mind and sight to slow the pattern down. "Sleep?" I read out-loud. "Teacher?" I asked, as I raised my hand. "There's something strange going on with my computer- "
That's when I noticed that everyone else was sleeping on his or her computer keyboards.
"That's odd," began the lab technician. "I would have thought everyone would've been affected by my wards. Oh well. I guess I'll have to do this old fashion way."
ZAP!
Suddenly the lab technician looked like a refugee from the movie "Tron". She casually twirled her disk as the electronic lights danced about her outfit.
"Here's catch!"
I quickly moved out of the way, and narrowly dodge a blow. The disk hit the wall behind me, causing a square piece to disappear in a flash of light. The disk was moving at an unbelievable speed…and was still after me! I ran towards the technician and dodge the disk in a split second. I was hoping that the disk would hit her instead. Unfortunately, she merely caught it.
"Thanks for returning it to me. Not that I needed the help mind you."
She then threw it again. I couldn't risk the disk hitting any innocents.
This is going to be a long afternoon.
"Well we're here. Now what?"
"We see if Amy is a minion of the Negaverse."
"What are we, private detectives? I'm telling you, Amy is cool by me."
"Serena…"
"But will check her out. And then I will say 'I told you so'."
"Fine. Shall we proceed?"
Serena and Luna make their way through the small campus, until they heard a huge commotion. Quickly, Serena looked in the direction of the commotion.
"Serena, what's going on?" Luna was glad that her charge was practicing her "X-ray" vision ability.
"Good news, bad news situation."
"Well, spit it out, Serena."
"Amy's not a minion of the Negaverse, but her attacker is."
"I see…WHAT? Well, transform!"
Serena took out her transformation wand, and said her famous words:
"Moon Prism MAKE UP!"
"I got you now, Speedy!" yelled the attacker.
"FREEZE, SCUMBAG!"
My attacker and I turned to see a meatball headed girl in fancy outfit. With her was a black cat with a crescent moon mark.
"Ruining one's educational experience is pretty low. I'm Sailor Moon, champion of love and justice. On behalf of the Moon, YOUR punishment is at hand."
"Sailor Moon? Name's Electronica. Pleased to meet you. Now DIE!"
Electronica threw her disk at Sailor Moon, who caught it easily.
"What a pretty object you have. You expect to hit me with this?"
"No, but I expect you to be blown up by it."
"What-?"
BOOM!
Sailor Moon sailed back by the explosion, and slammed into the wall behind her.
"Oof! Man, that hurts!"
"I know. Here, have some more!"
Electronica threw a dozen of disks at Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon eye's widened, but she quickly recovered. Deftly, she dodged a few, and caught few to be thrown back. But she still took the hits. I don't know how she could withstand the blow, but she was doing it. But I knew that she wouldn't be able last too much longer. I had to help her some how. Just as I was about to do something, her cat tackled me.
"Get down young lady!"
"You can talk?"
"Enough of that for now. I need to give you something."
Out of nowhere, a short wand appeared.
"How did you-?"
"Now say 'Mercury Power Make Up'."
"Okay. Mercury Power MAKE UP!"
Then, like a cool dip in a pool of water, I felt a weird change over me. Next thing I know it, I was clothed in a similar outfit like Sailor Moon's. It was blue and white, and, on the broach was a pair of wings with a lightning bolt and caduceus over the bolt.
"Now, go help Sailor Moon…Sailor Mercury!"
"It's over, Sailor Moon!" Electronica bellowed.
"No, it's not!" yelled a voice.
"Oh no! Not another one!"
Instinctively, I summoned an attack.
"Mercury Bubble BLAST!"
I "threw" a cloud of bubbles at Electronica.
"Who turned out the lights-?"
BAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAM!
I ran around my foe rapidly, throwing punches in the process. Luna ran over to Sailor Moon to see if she was alright.
"Sailor Moon! Use your attack now!"
"Alright. Sailor…Mercury? Get out of the way!"
"Right." I ran even faster, causing a small tornado in the process. Electronica was lifted into the air spinning like a top.
"Now, Sailor Moon!"
"Moon Tiara MAGIC!"
"YAAAAAAAAH-!"
Back in Jadeite's lair, the flow of energy from his victims ceased.
"Damn that Sailor Moon!" screamed the dark general.
It had been a few days since my first foray into the role of the superhero. At present, Serena (whom I couldn't believe was a superhero as well) and I were in our work out clothes in a park just outside of Tokyo. As agreed upon, we're going to jog at least once a week. But first, there was the matter of a bet to be settled.
"Okay. Today, we will see who is faster."
"I'm telling you, Serena, I've been doing this a lot longer than you have."
"You girls ought to be more civil about this. There's no need for this."
"Luna, just relax and read you magazine. This won't take long at all."
"Sigh. Very well."
Luna raises her left paw."
"Okay. On your mark, get set-!"
BOOM! BOOM!
Serena and I were gone in the flash. She was very fast, but I'm sure that I'm much faster.
My name is Ami Anderson, and I WILL be the fastest girl alive.
Meanwhile, at the Cherry Hill Temple…
It's going to rain? Raye Hino thought. Very odd. Oh well.
Like every morning, Raye swept the courtyard that was part of the Cherry Hill Temple. It has been a few weeks since she returned to Japan, after her "apprenticeship" in Gotham City. She was glad that her grandfather's old friend was willing to train her for her life's work. But her duties as a Shrine Maiden-in-training and a student must take priority. Sighing, Raye continued her duties.
Unfortunately, she failed to notice a slowly creeping bush moving up behind her.
"Heeee-YAH!"
Out pooped a short man in a black outfit, similar to that of a ninja outfit. He swung his bo staff at Raye. Deftly, Raye leaped out of her shrine clothes, and got into a fighting stance, wearing a similar outfight.
"Your move, old man," Raye said.
"The two exchanged blows, as Raye dodge or blocked the short man's attack. She successfully landed a punch to the man's head. Or she thought she did.
Damn, he used that "ghost" technique again! Raye thought. She then felt a tap on the back of her head.
"You loose…Grand-daughter."
"Grandpa, you got to teach me that trick!"
"I will, I will."
Grandpa Hino, took off his mask breathed a sigh of relief, as did Raye.
"But only after I track down that no good family member of ours."
"But I've already learned the 'Anything Goes' style, Grandpa. Mr. Wayne taught it to me, who learned it when he was training with Uncle Genma and Mr. Tendo."
"Yes, I know, but Genma is a master of his branch of the martial art- 'The School of Indiscriminate Grappling'. I would think that you would benefit from his training."
"Yeah, probably learn how to be a better thief too."
"Be as it may, I hope you will keep an open mind on this, Raye."
"Oh, alright."
Soon, Raye thought, Koumori will make her mark!
Tbc.
Author's note: There you have it. Another tale from yours truly. C&C are always welcomed. If you have any suggestions, please let me know (especially in the area of combining DC Superheroes' legacies with a Sailor Scout).
Next Time, on "The Princess Who Fell to Earth": What do you get when you combined an angry dark general and an equally angry Shinto Shrine Maiden-in- training? You get "A Dark Knight for a Jadeite". Oh, and Sailor Mars get introduced too. See you there!

"I don't see any…"
POW!
"Oops. I guess I missed."
"OWWIE!" cried Melvin.
"Serves you right! If you change that superior attitude of yours, we can be friends again. Humph!"
After Molly walks away, Melvin picks himself up.
"What she do that for?"

"Jadeite, report," said Queen Baryl.
"Our operations are a success so far," replied the Dark General. "There is no way that the infernal Sailor Moon will know about it."
"See that you make sure of it. I would hate to loose such an ambitious general."

I begin the exercises. Strangely, I began to notice a strange pattern being emitted from the screen. I used my enhanced mind and sight to slow the pattern down. "Sleep?" I read out-loud. "Teacher?" I asked, as I raised my hand. "There's something strange going on with my computer- "
That's when I noticed that everyone else was sleeping on his or her computer keyboards.
"That's odd," began the lab technician. "I would have thought everyone would've been affected by my wards. Oh well. I guess I'll have to do this old fashion way."
ZAP!
Suddenly the lab technician looked like a refugee from the movie "Tron". She casually twirled her disk as the electronic lights danced about her outfit.
"Here's catch!"
I quickly moved out of the way, and narrowly dodge a blow. The disk hit the wall behind me, causing a square piece to disappear in a flash of light. The disk was moving at an unbelievable speed…and was still after me! I ran towards the technician and dodge the disk in a split second. I was hoping that the disk would hit her instead. Unfortunately, she merely caught it.
"Thanks for returning it to me. Not that I needed the help mind you."
She then threw it again. I couldn't risk the disk hitting any innocents.
This is going to be a long afternoon.
"Well we're here. Now what?"
"We see if Amy is a minion of the Negaverse."
"What are we, private detectives? I'm telling you, Amy is cool by me."
"Serena…"
"But will check her out. And then I will say 'I told you so'."
"Fine. Shall we proceed?"
Serena and Luna make their way through the small campus, until they heard a huge commotion. Quickly, Serena looked in the direction of the commotion.
"Serena, what's going on?" Luna was glad that her charge was practicing her "X-ray" vision ability.
"Good news, bad news situation."
"Well, spit it out, Serena."
"Amy's not a minion of the Negaverse, but her attacker is."
"I see…WHAT? Well, transform!"
Serena took out her transformation wand, and said her famous words:
"Moon Prism MAKE UP!"
"I got you now, Speedy!" yelled the attacker.
"FREEZE, SCUMBAG!"
My attacker and I turned to see a meatball headed girl in fancy outfit. With her was a black cat with a crescent moon mark.
"Ruining one's educational experience is pretty low. I'm Sailor Moon, champion of love and justice. On behalf of the Moon, YOUR punishment is at hand."
"Sailor Moon? Name's Electronica. Pleased to meet you. Now DIE!"
Electronica threw her disk at Sailor Moon, who caught it easily.
"What a pretty object you have. You expect to hit me with this?"
"No, but I expect you to be blown up by it."
"What-?"
BOOM!
Sailor Moon sailed back by the explosion, and slammed into the wall behind her.
"Oof! Man, that hurts!"
"I know. Here, have some more!"
Electronica threw a dozen of disks at Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon eye's widened, but she quickly recovered. Deftly, she dodged a few, and caught few to be thrown back. But she still took the hits. I don't know how she could withstand the blow, but she was doing it. But I knew that she wouldn't be able last too much longer. I had to help her some how. Just as I was about to do something, her cat tackled me.
"Get down young lady!"
"You can talk?"
"Enough of that for now. I need to give you something."
Out of nowhere, a short wand appeared.
"How did you-?"
"Now say 'Mercury Power Make Up'."
"Okay. Mercury Power MAKE UP!"
Then, like a cool dip in a pool of water, I felt a weird change over me. Next thing I know it, I was clothed in a similar outfit like Sailor Moon's. It was blue and white, and, on the broach was a pair of wings with a lightning bolt and caduceus over the bolt.
"Now, go help Sailor Moon…Sailor Mercury!"
"It's over, Sailor Moon!" Electronica bellowed.
"No, it's not!" yelled a voice.
"Oh no! Not another one!"
Instinctively, I summoned an attack.
"Mercury Bubble BLAST!"
I "threw" a cloud of bubbles at Electronica.
"Who turned out the lights-?"
BAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAM!
I ran around my foe rapidly, throwing punches in the process. Luna ran over to Sailor Moon to see if she was alright.
"Sailor Moon! Use your attack now!"
"Alright. Sailor…Mercury? Get out of the way!"
"Right." I ran even faster, causing a small tornado in the process. Electronica was lifted into the air spinning like a top.
"Now, Sailor Moon!"
"Moon Tiara MAGIC!"
"YAAAAAAAAH-!"
Back in Jadeite's lair, the flow of energy from his victims ceased.
"Damn that Sailor Moon!" screamed the dark general.
It had been a few days since my first foray into the role of the superhero. At present, Serena (whom I couldn't believe was a superhero as well) and I were in our work out clothes in a park just outside of Tokyo. As agreed upon, we're going to jog at least once a week. But first, there was the matter of a bet to be settled.
"Okay. Today, we will see who is faster."
"I'm telling you, Serena, I've been doing this a lot longer than you have."
"You girls ought to be more civil about this. There's no need for this."
"Luna, just relax and read you magazine. This won't take long at all."
"Sigh. Very well."
Luna raises her left paw."
"Okay. On your mark, get set-!"
BOOM! BOOM!
Serena and I were gone in the flash. She was very fast, but I'm sure that I'm much faster.
My name is Ami Anderson, and I WILL be the fastest girl alive.
Meanwhile, at the Cherry Hill Temple…
It's going to rain? Raye Hino thought. Very odd. Oh well.
Like every morning, Raye swept the courtyard that was part of the Cherry Hill Temple. It has been a few weeks since she returned to Japan, after her "apprenticeship" in Gotham City. She was glad that her grandfather's old friend was willing to train her for her life's work. But her duties as a Shrine Maiden-in-training and a student must take priority. Sighing, Raye continued her duties.
Unfortunately, she failed to notice a slowly creeping bush moving up behind her.
"Heeee-YAH!"
Out pooped a short man in a black outfit, similar to that of a ninja outfit. He swung his bo staff at Raye. Deftly, Raye leaped out of her shrine clothes, and got into a fighting stance, wearing a similar outfight.
"Your move, old man," Raye said.
"The two exchanged blows, as Raye dodge or blocked the short man's attack. She successfully landed a punch to the man's head. Or she thought she did.
Damn, he used that "ghost" technique again! Raye thought. She then felt a tap on the back of her head.
"You loose…Grand-daughter."
"Grandpa, you got to teach me that trick!"
"I will, I will."
Grandpa Hino, took off his mask breathed a sigh of relief, as did Raye.
"But only after I track down that no good family member of ours."
"But I've already learned the 'Anything Goes' style, Grandpa. Mr. Wayne taught it to me, who learned it when he was training with Uncle Genma and Mr. Tendo."
"Yes, I know, but Genma is a master of his branch of the martial art- 'The School of Indiscriminate Grappling'. I would think that you would benefit from his training."
"Yeah, probably learn how to be a better thief too."
"Be as it may, I hope you will keep an open mind on this, Raye."
"Oh, alright."
Soon, Raye thought, Koumori will make her mark!
Tbc.
Author's note: There you have it. Another tale from yours truly. C&C are always welcomed. If you have any suggestions, please let me know (especially in the area of combining DC Superheroes' legacies with a Sailor Scout).
Next Time, on "The Princess Who Fell to Earth": What do you get when you combined an angry dark general and an equally angry Shinto Shrine Maiden-in- training? You get "A Dark Knight for a Jadeite". Oh, and Sailor Mars get introduced too. See you there!
