"The Video Gamer" (formerly "The Green Thumb Affair")
"Okay, let's play this new 'Chinpoko' game, guys!"
Three kids get ready to play the hottest game at the local arcade in Juuban.
"Bomb Pearl Harbor. Ready? GO!"
Ping! Pow! Ping!
"Bomb Pearl Harbor!"
Ping! Pow! Ping!
"Babababababababababababababa-!"
"Hey! Kenny is having a seizure!"
"Awesome!"
"You know, they REALLY ought to return that game to the manufacture," comments Serena.
"But you played it," replied Amy.
"So did YOU. If it hadn't been for the fact that we're not exactly normal-"
"Speak for yourself."
"Whatever. The point is that WE can handle it. But come, I want to see Andrew."
"Don't you think you're coming on a bit strong? We're just on our lunch break, you know."
"What, you think my outfit is a bit much?"
Serena is wearing a pair of daisy duke shorts, cowboy boots, cowboy hat and halter-top.
"Well, let's just say that the local yakuza would LOVE to get a hold of you."
"Humph. You're just saying that because you're jealous of my good looks."
"I seriously doubt that. Hey, isn't that Game Machine Joe?"
The two friends turn to see one of the local heroes of the gaming world.
"Kwel! Let's go over- Hey! There's Lyta! Lyta! Over here!"
Ugh, not again, Lyta thought. She had met the two earlier in school, where her reputation as a fighter preceded her. While she was grateful that Serena and Amy didn't think much of her background, she found Serena to be a bit strange. "Oh, hi, Serena. How are you?"
"I'm fine. Just trying to pick up- er, I mean meet a friend here. What brings you by?"
"Joe here is an old friend of mine from way back. He and I are just visiting our old haunts."
"That's good to hear," replied Amy.
"Check out his score."
"That's pretty good."
"Yeah. Hey, Joe. We gotta go."
"Just a sec, Lyta…GOTCHA! Who's number one NOW?!"
"Well, he seems humble enough," said Amy.
"Well, I'll see you two around," Lyta said, as she and Joe left the arcade. "And don't try so hard to pick up guys."
"HEY!"
"So, meatball head is still trying to 'impress' you," Darien said, as he watched the scene before him.
"I know," Andrew replied. "It's cute and all, but a little sad."
"Yeah. Anyway, I gotta go. Later."
"Later!"
Meanwhile, in the Negaverse…
"Zoicite, report!" the Dark Queen Beryl spoke. She has already lost two Generals since that Sailor Moon brat her "Amazing Friends showed up, so she wasn't in a good mood.
"Yes, your moodiness," the general replied. "As you know, the Star Crystal that our dearly departed Nephlite was generous enough to leave his star crystal to me. And with it, we can find the Seven Rainbow crystals, which, in turn will lead us to the Silver Imperium Crystal- your majesty? Are you listening to me?"
ZZzzzzz- "Huh? Oh yeah. Well, see that you succeed. If not, bam!" Beryl said, as she slammed her fist into her palm.
"Right away!"
Later…
"Okay, let's do this."
Lyta, in her Green Lantern guise, carefully maneuvered the impending asteroid from his trajectory. (A/N: Lyta wears the GL costume based upon John Stewart's in the cartoon "Justice League".) While it wasn't large enough to do significant damage to the Earth, it would have hit her new high school. It also didn't help that the material of the asteroid itself was made out "Dark Matter", a material virtually undetected by most sensors.
Then again, having a Green Lantern ring was not like most instruments.
Lyta could remember the day that her sensei Ganthet became Lyta as her legal guardian after her parents died. Years before, when Ganthet visited Earth to observe the actions of Green Lantern Hal Jordan as he groomed his protégé John Stewart, he came across an astrophysicist who impressed the Guardian enough to develop a friendship. While a Guardian becoming a friend to a "lesser" creature was not unheard of, treating another species as an equal was. At any rate, the two corresponded for years before the scientist died tragically in an accident. At the funeral, Lyta's "uncle" showed up to claim his "niece".
"Where are we going, Uncle?" a young Lyta asked.
"To the stars, Lyta, where all of your father's dreams will become realized."
And thus, Lyta goes on a journey with the only family she knew. Ganthet took her to many places, where she met many beings to learn from. Eventually, she decided to return home to Earth, since she missed it so. So while she continues to learn more about her own heritage, she will perform her duties as a Green Lantern, perhaps the youngest ever.
"There," Lyta replied, as she pushed the asteroid away from the Earth. "Better hurry. I said I wanted to get a pizza later. Bad enough I skipped school…"
Meanwhile, as promised, Game Machine Joe was in the park waiting for his old childhood friend to show up. So far, some strange person has been harassing him about some stupid Rainbow Crystal. Then it got even stranger…
FLASHBACK"Hold it right there, person of questionable gender!"
"What?!" yelled Zoycite. How dare she!
"You know who am I and you know the drill. Back off!"
"Hee. Okay…NOT!" Zoycite yelled, as s/he let off blast of ethereal energy at the her/his foe.
"Dog gone it," yelled Sailor Moon, as she dodge the attack. Unfortunately, based upon her numerous encounters with the Negaverse, Serena knew that magical attacks could hurt even HER.
"Sailor Moon, be careful!" Luna whispered. She knew that Serena "super-hearing" could pick up a pin-drop
"I know!"
"You know that you'll loose?" asked Zoycite.
"Naw, I'll know that I can do this!"
Serena clapped her hands together. Hard.
BOOM!
The resulting shock wave nearly knocked the Negaverse general out of the sky.
"Oh!" s/he said, as s/he dropped the Star Crystal.
"I better get the crystal!" Serena said, as she poured on the speed."
"Oh, no you don't!"
ZAP!
"AHHHHHH-!"
Serena flew back a bit.
"Got it! Now to-"
WHOOSH!
The local weather channel indicated that there would be clear and sunny skies that day. It didn't indicate an inner-city tornado.
"Sailor Moon, are you alright?" yelled Sailor Mercury. Luckily, Luna called Amy as soon as Zoycite was in the picture.
"I'm fine, but Zoycite-"
But the Negaverse general had made a strategic retreat.
"Damn. How are we going to keep Joe safe from the witch?"
"Leave that to me."
From the shade, Sailor Mars steps out.
"Oh, finally you show up," Sailor Moon said. "What took you so long anyway?"
"For your information, I've been researching about our foes' capabilities and origins. Besides, this Moon Princess we are looking for may have the answer."
"Yeah, yeah."
"So, what should we do now?" asked Amy.
"I believe that we should keep this 'Joe' person under surveillance. Zoycite will strike again."
"Mars is correct," comments Luna. "We need to make sure that whatever this general is after, we'll be there to stop her. Or him. Whatever."
"Right!" the scouts say together.
"…" Joe sweat dropped.
END FLASHBACK"Ha, like any of those clowns can keep me under surveillance," Joe said, as he clutched his chest. "And damn that whoever that person was that was trying to do something to me!"
"Joe! Joe!"
"Oh. Lyta. I'm glad that you're here. Some weirdo was here causing trouble."
"Really?" Lyta asked. Quietly, Lyta was using her power ring to run a spectrum analysis on Joe and the environment. Linked with her mind, the ring began to feed in the data…
"Ooh," said an old lady, as she tripped over to Lyta and Joe's vicinity.
"It's alright ma'am. I got you."
"Bless you child."
"What's Raye doing?" asked Serena.
"If you look closely, she's trying to plant a bug on Joe," Luna replied. "Don't you pay attention to anything?"
"Um, no."
"Figures. Amy?"
"I'm detecting some spikes in the ethereal plane, guys!"
"Oh, there you are!"
"Lyta, it's THE FREAK!"
"Joe, get back," yelled Lyta. "I'll-"
"DOWN!" yelled "the old woman", as Zoycite let off a volley of energy attacks.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
When the dust settled, Zoycite landed.
"Oh what's a girl to do? Oh, Joe…!"
When Zoycite raised her/his hand, Joe was lifted from the throng of bodies.
"I believe you have something that belongs to me…"
The dark general made her/his Star Crystal appear, and activated it.
"AHHHHHHH-!" Joe screamed.
"Joe-!" Lyta said, as she struggled to stand. She raised her power ring and became the Teen Green Lantern!
"Wow, I didn't know that Lyta was a superhero!" yelled Serena.
"Guys, can we-?" asked Amy.
"Girls, go for it!" Luna said, as she stared at Lyta. Could she be-?
"Don't you hurt my friend!" Lyta yelled, as she fired a blast of energy.
"You are NOT going to stop me!" Zoycite replied, as s/he let loose a volley of crystal daggers. Lyta created a green wall to block the attack. Mars took the opportunity to duck into the shadows to become her other form.
"Come forth Shadow Warrior," Zoycite said, as s/he pulled the first Rainbow crystal out of Joe's body. As s/he did so, Joe transformed into….
"Wario?" Lyta said in shock.
"Heheheheheh-!"
POW! BAM! BOP!
'Wario' rushed Lyta, performed an upper-cut on her, causing "coins" to come out of her and body slammed the teen GL into the ground.
"Oh…"
"Well, be seeing you!" Zoycite said, as s/he disappeared in a flurry of flowers.
"Wario is gonna have fun!"
"Not on my account!"
"Who are you?"
"I am the fabulous Sailor Moon!"
"I am the brainy Sailor Mercury!"
"I am the mysterious Sailor Mars."
"And we are the Sailor Scouts, and we are gonna punish you!"
"More for me!" A giant hammer appears. Wario then grabs it, causing him to hammer the ground at rapid rate. Cue music.
BOOM!
"Ah!" Serena said, as she is hammered repeatedly.
"Yikes!" Amy said, as she quickly dodged the attack.
"Hhh," Raye said, as she leaped over her foe and, to no avail, kicked Wario in the head."
Meanwhile, Luna runs to where Lyta is lying. She was ashamed that she was such a rookie. Maybe her uncle is right when he questioned if she was ready for the GL role. However, once Luna saw the symbol for the planet Jupiter appeared on her head, that would all change.
"Lyta, you got to transform!"
"A talking Earth cat?"
"Never mind that! Here!"
Lyta picked up the henshin rod that. A quick scan by her ring revealed it to be a product of the late Silver Millennium. Then a quick scan of the cat confirmed this.
"Are you Luna Maus? The cat guardian of the Lunar court?"
"How-? Well, can you transform or not?"
Lyta wanted to be a good Green Lantern, but, if the data her ring gave her, she'll need the added boost to her arsenal.
"Alright. What do you want me to do?"
"Say the first the thing that comes to mind."
"Okay…Jupiter Power MAKE-UP!"
"Mars Fire IGNITE!" Sailor Mars yelled, as she let off a spiral of flame.
"WHA!" yelled Wario, as he was engulfed in flames. Now angry, the evil Mario brother began to chase the Protector of Mars. Now to do that trick that cousin Ranma had taught me a while ago, Mars thought to herself, as she led Wario into a spiral, now that he was good and angry.
"Hiryu Shoten HA!"
BOOM!
With Wario high in the sky, Sailor Moon leaped into the air, with the assistance of Sailor Mercury's speed lending abilities. Mercury created a nice fog cover so that set Wario for the kill…
BOOM!
Sailor Moon dropped back to the ground, thinking that the battle was over. Unfortunately…
"Wha-?"
SQUISH!
Wario's prone body flattened Sailor Moon's. What was worse was the fact that the Scout's foe was still up and about.
"Sailor Moon!"
"I'm okay! I can't say the same for Tux-boy here!"
"Uhhhhhhh-"
"Mars! Can you manage another attack!"
"I'm not sure! What about you, Mercury?"
"I- What's that?"
A star suddenly appeared, and bounced to Wario. Suddenly, He became all sparkled. Cue music. Then got bigger when a mushroom dropped on him.
"Hahahahahahah!"
With Wario now invulnerable to attack, the fiend began to attack the two remaining Scouts. Thankfully, Mercury's fog made it difficult for Warrio to locate them.
"Hold it, Joe!"
Make that three.
"I am Sailor Jupiter, the Sailor of the Thunder. In the name of Jupiter, you will be stopped!"
Like the others, Jupiter had a modified sailor fuku. Except that hers had green trimming and the symbol of the Green Lantern etched on her bow's broche.
"Go ahead, make my day!"
Jupiter pointed her ring at her foe, and created a cage to hold Wario in place.
"Ha, you think that this will stop me?"
"No, but this might!"
"Uhhh…"
"Jupiter Thunder CRASH!"
Thunder shoots down from the sky and strikes Jupiter. Now glowing a bright green, an arc of electricity goes from Jupiter to Wario…
ZAP!
"AHHHHH-!"
"Uh, what happened?" said Sailor Moon, as she got up, after being smacked by Wario.
"Sailor Moon, here."
A type of wand appears.
"What's this?"
"This will cure your friend. Use it."
"Okay, okay…"
Wario tries to kick and punch his way past Sailor Jupiter's shields, while the others attacked. Both Mercury and Mars delivered a flurry of punches and kicks (though Mercury was WAY faster).
"Stay still!"
"Hey, big boy!"
Sailor Moon stood tall. Then, she said her new attack phrase.
"Smile for the birdy!"
No, that wasn't it.
"Moon Healing ACTIVATION!"
"WHAAAAAA-!"
A moment later, Game Machine Joe appeared.
"Well, it worked, Luna."
"Of course it did. Why wouldn't it be?"
"Got you!" Lyta said, as she created a bed for her friend.
"Will he be fine?" asked Luna.
"I'm sure he will be," Amy replied. "What do you think, Mars?"
Whooohoooooooooooo-
Where Mars stood, was nothing but leaves blowing in the wind.
"How does she do it?" asked Serena. Wait, where's Tux-boy?"
"He probably left with Mars or something."
"What happened to me?" asked Joe, as he woke up.
"Well," began Lyta, "You see…"
Later…
"It's nice of Joe to keep our secret," said Serena.
"Well, you DID threaten to beat him to a pulp if you did," replied Amy, as she continued to read her book during lunch.
"So I did."
"Do you think Lyta being a Green Lantern and Raye being a Dark Knight will hurt our team?"
"I don't think so. They will do what they can to their thing and still be team players. So I wouldn't worry about it."
"I hope you're right. By the way, do you think we'll get a new member for our team? I mean, there are nine planets, and three of them are represented now."
"I'm sure you're right."
EPILOGUE"Now when you return home, please tell you're mother that she owes me a combat session," said Althea, an Amazon weapons master. "I want to see if my favorite student has kept her skills sharpened."
"Of course I will, Auntie," replied Mina. "Tell Helene that I'm sorry I missed her."
"Certainly."
Mina, with her bag shouldered, rose into the air. She took out a small, clear disk from her back pocket, and threw it into the air. The object grew large and morphed into a transparent jet.
"And thank you for everything!"
Mina boarded her Invisible Jet and stashed her gear aboard. Then, she got into the cockpit.
"Let's go home, plane."
As the plane left the territories of Paradise Island, Mina couldn't help but wonder if the prophecies of the impending arrival of the Moon Princess would come to pass. If that's the case, then she will be there to make both Princess Diana and the rest of the Amazon Nation proud as the Moon Princess' protector.
Tbc.
