Sailormoon Zodiac is a fanfic that was published on the internet from December 1995 to
March 23, 1997. Sailormoon Zodiac takes place in the anime right after the end of
SailormoonSS (fourth season), but it does use references to the first few episodes from
Sailormoon Sailorstars. This series is an alternative to the fifth and final season (not
because I wanted to replace it [which I do], but because this fanfic began before Sailorstars was finished, and I was quite anxious to write.)
As of 1999, Sailormoon Zodiac underwent a major revision. You are currently reading the

Hino Rei sighed as she pushed a strand of black hair out of her
face, the heat was unbearable. Sometimes she wished she wasn't miko of
Hikawa-jinja, at least she wouldn't have to be sweeping the grounds in a
hakama in the middle of July, she could be wearing shorts and lounging on
the beach...
"Sumimasen [Excuse me]." said a voice, Rei looked up, hoping she didn't
look too ridiculous dazing off. Rei saw a girl standing before her, wearing the
uniform of T*A Academy. The girl didn't look quite Japanese, she had long
black hair and cold blue eyes. Very beautiful.
"Yes? May I help you?" Rei asked, putting down her broom. She
assumed the girl wanted to buy o-mamori [protection charms]. The girl stuck
out her arm, to shake Rei's hand. Oh, an American, Rei thought.
"I'm Jessica Taylor, I just moved here recently. When my mother
visited school, they told her I could find Hino Rei-san." the girl
said, her voice had a touch of an American accent. Rei was ecstatic,
she always wanted be friends with a foreigner.
"Hajimemashite [Nice to meet you], Jess..ica. So, you're going
to T*A? I'm sure you'll love it there, everyone's so nice. The students
are great, I'll introduce you to everyone." Rei said happily. The girl
did not seem to share her sentiments. She stared at Rei hard, as if
trying to judge her by her looks.
"Well, that's nice. I guess I'll see you in school tomorrow."
Jessica answered, she turned around and walked away without another
word. Rei's eyes flared, how rude of her, she thought. She then
shook her head and changed her mind, I'm sure she's just jet lagged,
she'll be better tomorrow. Rei nodded and picked up her broom,
smiling to herself as she couldn't wait to tell everyone tomorrow
of her news.
* * * *
"I HATE that girl!" Rei declared as she picked up one of Mako-chan's
cupcakes and licked off the icing,
"Rei-chan, Rei-chan, you used to hate me too, but you like me now."
Usagi giggled as she inhaled her fourth cup cake.
"I still hate you, baka!" Rei laughed and stuck out her tongue.
"What exactly did she do?" Minako asked, "What was her name?
Jeshi...Jishiko?"
"JE-SHI-KA." Artemis corrected.
"Well, she was so rude to me all the time. Everyone kept coming
up to her and asking her about America--" Rei began,
"I think you're jealous because now she has all the attention." Usagi
chimed,
"Why would I be jealous of her, I'm better than she is!" Rei exclaimed
jokingly, the two playfully began to fight. Ami shook her head and looked
down at Luna,
"Ne, why did you call this meeting anyway, Luna?" she asked,
"Well, don't you think it's been a little quiet? We defeated
Nephrenia and the Dead Moon Circus just six months ago. History has told us
that that is too long for peace." Luna replied.
"Maybe we beat everyone." Minako answered idly as she leaned across
Usagi's bed and picked up the latest issue of Shounen Jump, "Ooh, look they're
selling Sailor V dolls!" she said, glancing upward to see if anyone cared.
"EE!! ECCHI DA! [This is Perverse!] I never wore a skirt that short!"
"Well, we need to be on guard anyway. Make sure you pay attention to any
strange happenings." Luna said loudly, ignoring Minako's wails.
"Oh, Rei-chan, you aren't the only person who has a new student. Juuban
Koutou Gakkou [Juuban High School] has a new transfer too. I forgot her name,
she's really cute. I think she just transferred from Okinawa." Usagi-chan
said suddenly, ignoring both Minako and Luna. Minako hopped up and crept up
towards Luna,
"Oooh, koowaaaiii yooo [I'm scaaarrreddd]. TWO new students in one week,
it must be the work of the Iibaru Piipaaru [Evil People in English]!"
"Minako no baka." Rei murmured, shaking her head at her friend's silliness.
"Last time there were two new students on one day, Earth almost was
destroyed by Ail and Ann." Ami said seriously. Luna had a strange look on her
face,
"Usagi, get me the Juuban Tribune, please." she requested. Usagi looked
at her cat strangely and ran out of the room, she appeared moments later
with the newspaper in hand. Luna quickly turned the page to the back,
"Yes, I read this earlier. It's about how Shin Mugen Gakuen [New
Infinity Academy] got two new foreign exchange students and a new transfer student
from Hokkaido all in one day."
"Oh, stop thinking everyone new is evil. Don't be arachnophobic." Minako
replied knowingly, Artemis buried his head under his paw,
"That's XENOphobic." he moaned,
"What are their names?" Ami asked,
"Tien Lei from Beijing, Joanna McMahon from London, and Hayashino Mihana."
she read
"That's very strange." Ami agreed,
"C'MON! Tokyo is a very international city, there are new foreign
students everyday, I bet." Usagi pointed out,
"But not in Juuban-ku." Ami replied, the group was quiet. That was true.
Luna nodded in agreement,
"Even if I'm overreacting, I just want you all to be on guard. Mako-chan,
Minako-chan, Usagi-chan, Ami-chan, watch the new girl at your school. Rei-chan,
keep an eye on Jessica. Artemis and I will watch the other three girls. Let's just
be on the safe side."
* * * *
Jessica Taylor looked around the empty park, it was getting late
and most people were eating dinner, leaving the park deserted. There
was a cool summer breeze, and the sun had set just enough for there to be
stars in the sky.
"Estrella?" she whispered, looking into a bush.
"Right here, Jessica-sama." said a voice. Jessica looked down to see
her black cat with the white star on her forehead.
"Why did we meet here and not at home?"
"This is the only secluded place in this district. Years ago, I told you
the secrets of your past. You know of the power you possess, and you know
of the Great Warriors you will lead. You know of your destiny and your
duty, and now it is time for you to finally realize these things." Estrella said
solemnly, she lept into the air and flipped. A small orange and red stick appeared,
it was topped with a golden star and had a curved design engraved on it
which Jessica recognized immediatly was her astrological sign of Leo.
"How beautiful.." she said, moving her fingers to touch it. Her
fingers gently touched the warm red metal and her body was instantly filled
with energy. The mark of Leo appeared on her forehead and from it a beam of
bright orange light raced to the sky and split into several points of light,
it seemed at that moment several stars from the heavens fell to the sky, all
converging on her. Jessica felt nothing but peace and strength.
* * * *
"Sshh, shh, Minako-chan! Stop being so conspicious!" Rei exclaimed,
pushing Minako's head down and peaking her head above. Through the leaves
of the plants she could see the handsome man that Minako was staring at,
he had beautiful green eyes and long blonde hair. Turning, he saw Rei.
He stared at her intently, Rei flushed as she tried to redirect her
gaze. Suddenly, she was pushed back down by Minako. By then, the man
had disappeared. In his place was a man with red hair, a cold smirk
played on his lips as he glared at Minako who was in the process of
being shoved down back into the booth by Rei.
"Will you two stop it, we're in a public place." Ami said covering
her face. Usagi mumbled something as she swallowed a handful of frenchfries.
Mako-chan was staring idly out the window when suddenly she jumped upward,
"What is that?!" she exclaimed, knocking over a salt shaker.
All eyes turned instantly to the window, sure enough they all saw the orange
beam of light which came from the Earth to the sky.
"Anou..."
"Could it be Chibiusa-chan?" Rei asked,
"It's not pink though, it's orange." Ami said quickly putting on her
glasses for a better look.
"Maybe it's what Luna was talking about!" Minako exclaimed standing
up, her hand knocking over a her milkshake. The remaining contents flew onto
Rei's blouse.
"Ah gomen, gomen!" Minako apologized.
"It's okay, let's go, this could be serious." Rei declared, taking off
her blouse and revealing another shirt underneath it. Four of the girls stood up
immediately, Usagi grabbed another handful of frenchfries and stood up moments
later stuffing them in her face as they tried, though horribly failing,
to act nonchalant as they left the restaurant.
When it was clear they had left, the blonde man whom Rei and Minako had
been eyeing appeared from another booth. He walked towards their table and looked
down. Noticing Rei's blouse he picked it up. The man closed his eyes, as if he
were trying to concentrate upon it. Wordlessly, he brought the garmet to his
lips and inhaled slowly. Silently, he placed the discarded blouse inside the
bookbag he was carrying and left the restaurant.
* * * *
"The enemy is near." Estrella whispered, "I can feel their energy."
But Jessica wasn't listening, she stared down at her hands which
were glowing with radiant orange energy that almost looked like fire.
"Stop it right there!" shouted a voice from above. Jessica
instinctively looked up, five shapes jumped down from the trees and stood
before Jessica. Estrella had jumped to the bush behind Jessica to hide.
"We are the Sailor Team and we will not tolerate people who steal
energy. I am the Pretty Solider of Love and Justice, Sailormoon! In the name
of the Moon, I will punish you!" Super Sailormoon exclaimed pointing to
Jessica.
"Sailor--WHAT? Who--who ARE you freaks?!" Jessica exclaimed finding
her voice, "Go find someone else to harass. Some Japanese are so weird."
she muttered and turned to walk away.
"MARS...FLAME...SNIPER!" Sailormars shouted, firing an arrow towards
Jessica. It hit a nearby tree and ignited. Fearfully, Jessica stared at the
tree. She felt the anger in her blazing,
"HOW DARE YOU!" she shouted, suddenly a stream of fire burst from
her hands and towards the Sailor Senshi. Terrified at what had happened,
she began to run.
"SHABON...Spray!" Sailormercury shouted, filling the air with bubble
mist. Blindly, Jessica felt around towards her.
"Jessica, these must be the enemy! I'm going to get help.
Please, take the henshin wand out of your pocket and say, 'Leo Cosmic
Power, Make Up!'" Estrella ordered as she ran towards Jessica. She dug deep
into her pants pocket, pulled out the wand, and thrust it into the air,
"Leo Cosmic Power, MAKE UP!" Jessica shouted. A stream of orange
light surrounded her as an apparition of a lion ran towards her, it circled
her then lept upwards, merging with Jessica's body. Her clothing changed
to a black sailorfuku with a skirt that shimmered from red to orange. Rings of
fire appeared around her arms and formed gloves. Another circle of fire
surrounded her feet and the blaze exploded upwards. Swiftly, it disappeared
leaving her completely transformed. During the blaze, a large red bow
bow with an orange brooch the symol of Leo engraved in it appeared at her
chest, while a red choker around her neck with the symbol of Leo in gold
on it had formed. In addition, around her forehead a gold tiara with a star shaped
ruby appeared. Her body and soul was filled with courage, a surge of energy she
had never known before. For some odd reason, she felt like someone powerful,
someone who had lived before. Fearlessly, she came out of her hiding place
and stood before the five who began attacking her.
"It's another Sailor Senshi!" Sailorjupiter exclaimed in shock, while
this was true, it was obvious to the Senshi that she was a sharp contrast to
them. She had a different prescence around her, something they couldn't quite
explain.
"I am the Senshi of the Sun Lion, Sailorleo, in the name of the heavens
that house the stars--prepare to suffer!" she shouted and raised her hand to
the sky.
"Sun Lion, Destroy!" she exclaimed. Orange flames appeared on her
raised hand. She brought her arm down hand still aflame and directed her
hand towards Mercury and Mars. The flames leapt from her hands and formed
a large lion made of fire that ran towards her targets.
"Fire Soul Bird!" Mars countered, creating her own animal of fire.
She threw a ward into the air, then brought her hands together creating a
stream of fire that formed a bird made of flames which flew aggressively
towards the Sun Lion. However, the lion seemed to devour the bird thus
making the Sire Lion even bigger than before. It continued towards it's
targets, even more menacingly than before. Skillfully, Sailormars and
Sailormercury darted out of it's way, nearly missing being burnt. The
Lion headed towards a tree and ignited it on impact.
"Sparkling..Wide Pressure!" Sailorjupiter shouted, creating a ball
of lightning.
"Silver Arrow, Strike!" shouted a voice from behind the Sailor
Senshi. A beautiful shining arrow made of pure energy cut through the
air and struck Sailorjupiter in the back, her own attack disappearing.
From the darkness, a figure walked forward.
All eyes turned to see yet another Black-uniformed Sailor Senshi.
This girl had a length of beautiful green hair tied in a braid. She wore a
dark purple skirt with a navy blue bow and a symbol which resembled an
arrow on her brooch and choker. Adorning her hair was a silver tiara which
had a star shaped topaz in the center.
Sailorleo stared at Sailorsagittarius momentarily, before realizing
this was the help Estrella was referring to.
"I am the Senshi of the Silver Arrow, Sailorsagittarius. I don't
believe five against one is a very fair fight." she said calmly.
"Oh, and two against five makes you stronger?" Sailormars demanded
angrily, as she stared in horror at her fallen friend.
"I believe the score is actually two against four, which, considering
the team we're playing, doesn't seem to be much of a problem."
"ONORE!" Sailormars shouted, bringing her hands together, flame blazing
on her fingertips.
"Sun, Rise!" Sailorleo cried suddenly, a bright light blinding everyone
including Sailorsagittarius rose from the ground. Sagittarius felt her arm being
grabbed towards someone and then felt the sensation of being lifted. When the
light died down, she could see that she was inside a round, orange bubble which
was hovering in the air. Looking down, she could see the Sailor Senshi squinting
upwards towards them.
Sailormoon shaded her eyes as she watched the shining orb fly into the sky
and disappear. Sighing, she looked down at Sailorjupiter who was still unconcious.
"Will she be okay?" Sailormars asked, small tears forming at the corner of
her eyes. Sailormercury was busy punching keys on her computer,
"She should be fine. Nothing that a few days of healing won't fix." she
replied with a sigh of relief.
"Who WERE they?!" Sailorvenus exclaimed, still looking up at the sky.
"I can't believe two people did so much damage. How frightening."
"I knew there was something going on in Juuban-ku. Those new 'exchange students'
must have something to do about it." Luna said knowingly, "They could be fake senshi
from another dimension."
"They..were too good to be fake." Sailorjupiter whispered, her eyes opening
just slightly. She was obviously hurt. Sailormoon bent down and grabbed Sailorjupiter's
hand,
"Don't worry Mako-chan, they'll pay for this. I swear they will."

Hino Rei sighed as she pushed a strand of black hair out of her
face, the heat was unbearable. Sometimes she wished she wasn't miko of
Hikawa-jinja, at least she wouldn't have to be sweeping the grounds in a
hakama in the middle of July, she could be wearing shorts and lounging on
the beach...

towards Luna,
"Oooh, koowaaaiii yooo [I'm scaaarrreddd]. TWO new students in one week,
it must be the work of the Iibaru Piipaaru [Evil People in English]!"
"Minako no baka." Rei murmured, shaking her head at her friend's silliness.

dark purple skirt with a navy blue bow and a symbol which resembled an
arrow on her brooch and choker. Adorning her hair was a silver tiara which
had a star shaped topaz in the center.
Sailorleo stared at Sailorsagittarius momentarily, before realizing
this was the help Estrella was referring to.
"I am the Senshi of the Silver Arrow, Sailorsagittarius. I don't
believe five against one is a very fair fight." she said calmly.
"Oh, and two against five makes you stronger?" Sailormars demanded
angrily, as she stared in horror at her fallen friend.
"I believe the score is actually two against four, which, considering
the team we're playing, doesn't seem to be much of a problem."
"ONORE!" Sailormars shouted, bringing her hands together, flame blazing
on her fingertips.
"Sun, Rise!" Sailorleo cried suddenly, a bright light blinding everyone
including Sailorsagittarius rose from the ground. Sagittarius felt her arm being
grabbed towards someone and then felt the sensation of being lifted. When the
light died down, she could see that she was inside a round, orange bubble which
was hovering in the air. Looking down, she could see the Sailor Senshi squinting
upwards towards them.
Sailormoon shaded her eyes as she watched the shining orb fly into the sky
and disappear. Sighing, she looked down at Sailorjupiter who was still unconcious.
"Will she be okay?" Sailormars asked, small tears forming at the corner of
her eyes. Sailormercury was busy punching keys on her computer,
"She should be fine. Nothing that a few days of healing won't fix." she
replied with a sigh of relief.
"Who WERE they?!" Sailorvenus exclaimed, still looking up at the sky.
"I can't believe two people did so much damage. How frightening."
"I knew there was something going on in Juuban-ku. Those new 'exchange students'
must have something to do about it." Luna said knowingly, "They could be fake senshi
from another dimension."
"They..were too good to be fake." Sailorjupiter whispered, her eyes opening
just slightly. She was obviously hurt. Sailormoon bent down and grabbed Sailorjupiter's
hand,
"Don't worry Mako-chan, they'll pay for this. I swear they will."
