The Rest of the Senshi
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon
"It's too bad Minako-chan couldn't come out with us tonight," Usagi mentioned to the other inners. They were walking down the main street with no real destination in mind.
"She did get slammed in the face, you know?" Rei reminded her.
"The best thing for Minako-chan is to get a little rest," Ami piped in.
"It's not like we can't have fun without her. So let's get to it!"
"What should we do?"
"EAT! I'm starving!" They all sweatdropped.
"Well, if there's nothing better t..." Screech... Smash! The four girls all turned to see the cause of the noise. A car had just crashed into a store through the front window, head on.
"Oh man, look!" It was quite a sight. A small fire had erupted and a few panicky pedestrians waltzed around. The strangest sight was that of a woman on top of the car that had crashed. She stood there in a very short frilly mini, the color green. She had matching high heels. Her orange shirt had long tight sleeves, but it didn't go all the way up to her shoulders. You could see her pink bra straps. And to top it off she had the most vicious red hair you've ever seen. It was up in a tight hairstyle, but locks were still falling out. There was an odd mark on her neck that her hair would normally cover, but it was too far away to discern exactly what symbol it was. She held what looked like a mini gold whip in her hand.
A curious crowd began to gather. "Easy enough," the girl on the car said and hopped to the ground.
A large woman with short hair and big jeweled earrings ran over to the woman saying "Are you ok? What happened?" In response, the red haired woman took her whip and smacked the other woman's arm as she reached out a helping hand. The woman yelled in surprise and cradled her arm.
"Disgusting beings," the red-haired woman said.
Upon seeing this, the girls quickly transformed.
The red-haired woman raised her whip into the air. "You're all worthless." Her whip began to glow.
"Don't Move!" Sailor Moon demanded. The woman's whip stopped glowing and she turned to see the inners minus Venus on the other end of the burning car. "I don't know who you are or what you're up to, but I won't let you get away with it. I'm Sailor Moon, and in the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!"
"Sailor Mars!"
"Sailor Mercury!"
"Sailor Jupiter!"
"Is that so?" the red-haired woman said disinterested. "Did you get that, Hatako?"
"Every word," the woman named Hatako replied. She looked like a replica of the red-haired woman. She had the same fiery red hair as the original, but she wore orange and yellow clothes as opposed to the others' green and orange. She too had that weird black mark on her neck and a gold whip in her hand. She seemed to step out of the fire that was still there, from where the car had erupted.
Hatako's whip began to glow as she raised it above her head. "Split fire!" she yelled as she brought her hand down. A burst of red energy flew out of the whip and toward the senshi.
The senshi were too slow. The enormous blast knocked them back about halfway down the street. They landed with a hard thud.
The crowd panicked and ran away as fast as they could. Their curiosity wasn't strong enough to keep them there if it meant their life would be taken.
Hatako was already after the senshi again, whip still glowing.
"Flame Sniper!" Mars let her attack go. Hatako hit the arrow with her whip and it went right back towards Mars. It hit her and she fell back into the street, causing the street to dent where she landed. She was out cold.
"Mars!" worried voices cried.
"Guys, this is bad," Mercury told the group typing in her computer. "She didn't just reflect Mar's attack back at her, but also added her own energy to it, making it much more lethal."
"These girls aren't worth my energy," Hatako said. "Why not give them a puppet, Hayako. That ought to be enough to kill them." She vanished.
Hayako, apparently the other red-head, slapped her whip on the ground and an ugly youma with unnatural colored skin appeared. "Get rid of them."
"No problem," the youma saluted and Hayako vanished. "Now who would like to die first?" the youma turned back to the senshi. It opened its mouth wide and a blast came out of it towards Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter.
Only Jupiter avoided the attack completely and the other two were knocked on the ground again.
"I refuse to die at your hands," Jupiter called. "Oak Evolution!" The youma danced around every one of Jupiter's attack.
"Nice try," the youma said and hit Jupiter with another blast of her own, sending Jupiter into a parked car. She too became knocked out.
"No, Jupiter!" Moon cried.
Mercury took this opportunity to attack. "Aqua Rhapsody!" The youma turned and blasted her own attack at the oncoming attack. Mercury's attack was knocked back in any which direction and Moon and Mercury were each tossed back. Moon landed on the gravel again, but since Mercury was in a more direct path she went further, though a store window.
Moon gasped.
"This is the only defense of the Solar System?" the youma mocked. "It's a wonder your pitiful planet has lasted until this point, but now we'll take it over." The youma advanced on Sailor Moon. "It's all over for you!"
"Then we had better step in," a voice was coming from the other direction. "We will never allow scum to enter our Solar System and take over. This is your last chance to retreat." The voice belonged to a black-haired girl who was accompanied by another girl on her right side and they were each wearing... senshi fukus??
The two of them stood side by side. Moon was reminded for a moment of Uranus and Neptune. The one on the right had black hair with honey eyes. Her fuku was a light blue, like ice. The ribbons were black. The girl on the left had brown hair and deep blue eyes. Her fuku was baby blue and the ribbons were pale yellow.
"How rude. Aren't you going to introduce yourselves like the other twits?" the monster mocked.
"Pardon our manners, we didn't realize vile trash knew what they were," the yellow senshi said.
"It's not wise to question your executioner," the black senshi told the monster.
"I think you've mixed up the roles," the youma said back.
"We'll see who the confused one is," the black senshi retorted. She started running at the youma. The youma, thinking it was just so special, decided to try and blast the oncoming senshi. As it fired the black senshi leapt above and out of the way, with observable ease. She landed down a ways away from the youma in an easy-going way. Her confidence was overwhelming. It was on the verge of cockiness.
"I now see all of your talk was nothing more than a simple bluff. You have yet to get near me, let alone strike me," the monster shouted to the black senshi in an arrogant sort of way.
"Don't forget about me," the yellow senshi answered in place of the black senshi. The voice came from behind the youma. The youma turned as fast as it could to see the yellow senshi only two feet away. When had she gotten there?
There was no time for the youma to react. The yellow senshi took a fist and slammed it into the youma's face. It was a nice hit, not one you'd expect from such a skinny teen, but it had the youma, seeing stars, knocked down onto the ground. It moaned in pain and confusion. It wasn't supposed to ever be hit. Who were these girls?
The black senshi towering over the fallen youma grabbed it by the throat and lifted its aching head off the ground. "Now, as promised..." the youma began to panic. It may have been seeing double, but it could tell the black senshi was gathering energy in her hand, and lots of it. This wasn't supposed to happen, it wasn't supposed to lose. "Black Spirit Bomb!" the black senshi jolted her hand right to the edge of the youma's nose. There was no hope for the youma. With such a direct shot as that, no youma would be able to make it out of that situation alive. This youma should have just been happy for a quick death.
Its scream was short, and its body changed to sand and sifted through the black senshi's fingers and into the wind. "Pathetic," the black senshi muttered and glared towards Moon, still lying on the ground.
Moon, who was quite impressed by the scene that had just unfolded in front of her, wasn't sure what the black senshi was referring to. Was it the youma? Herself? Both?
Giving Moon very little time to determine the answer, the two senshi began to walk away.
"Wait! Who are you?" Moon cried to stop them with one of the many questions passing through her head.
The yellow one stopped with her back towards Moon. The black senshi continued to walk. "Sailor Sun," a gentle reply came from the yellow senshi. The black senshi then stopped and Sun continued on.
"Sailor??" Moon was confused. "... Sun?"
The black senshi looked at Sailor Sun who continued to walk away. "Sailor Nemesis" was the muttered reply from the black senshi and then she and Sun did a fast leapy-thing and vanished from sight.
"Nemesis...?" Moon was sounding out the words. "Sun...?" They didn't make any sense. More Sailor Senshi? From their own Solar System? It wasn't possible, was it?
Sirens could be heard in the distance. Oh no! The police were on their way and the senshi were still unconscious on the ground! Moon ran to Jupiter, the closest one. She started to lift, but Jupiter was too heavy to pick up. The sirens were getting louder. 'What do I do?' Moon thought to herself.
"You get Mercury, I'll take her." Moon, still struggling with the limp Jupiter, turned to see Uranus. She picked up Jupiter with, what looked like, no effort.
"What about..?" but Moon stopped. She saw that Neptune had already taken Mars off the ground. "We have to get to the shrine immediately. You can explain everything there. If we don't hurry we'll be caught." Neptune had already taken off. Moon ran to the window that Mercury fell through. She picked her up, but then fell again. None of them were as light as feathers and she was still injured from her battle. But she had to get them out of there. The sirens were almost there. Stumbling as she went, Moon got Mercury and herself out of there and down the street. Uranus followed Moon to make sure she'd make it ok.
In a dark place...
"Were you successful?" a man with mismatched eyes asked a bowing Hayako and Hatako.
"Of course."
"That person will never be a problem for us again."
"And did the senshi interfere?" the man asked.
"Only when it was too late."
"And they were simple to take care of. We gave them a follower to fight."
The man's happy expression turned sour. "Next time be sure it is you that takes care of them."
Usagi called Minako the moment she could and when Minako, Artemis, and Luna hurried over they helped to make sure all the others were alright. Rei was still out, but Makoto seemed to be coming around. Minako apologized for not being there, but Usagi ignored her. Usagi still hadn't told anyone else about the new Sailors.
When Makoto and Ami were awake and able to recall what happened they started to tell their story to Haruka, Michiru, Luna, Artemis, and Minako.
"How did you defeat it Usagi-chan?"
"Actually... I didn't defeat it. The youma was about to attack again when these two people showed up."
"Probably the same two from that other battle."
"In any case, those other two... Well, they're Sailor Senshi."
"What?" Everyone looked at each other with surprised looks.
"I know it's weird, but that's what they are. The new senshi call themselves Sailor Nemesis and Sailor Sun."
"I've heard of Sailor Nemesis before," Haruka said.
"She was also a senshi from the Silver Millennium," Michiru explained. "She was from the tenth planet, Nemesis, past Pluto."
"Nemesis," Amy sounded out the word. "When we went to the future that was the name of the enemy's planet."
"O yeah, that's right."
"It's evil then."
"It was evil in the past too," Haruka told them.
Michiru continued, "Nemesis and the Moon were constantly on bad terms. Nemesis was a real source of trouble for the Queen. That planet was a disgrace to all the other planets. It was said that they were allies of Beryl and Metallia."
"So that must mean she's evil now too." Usagi remained silent.
"And what about Sailor Sun?"
"I don't remember any Sailor Sun," Haruka said truthfully.
"That's because there is no Sailor Sun," Luna told the girls. She received surprised expressions.
"That's right," Artemis agreed, "the Sun was destroyed by Beryl if you recall. Even before then, there were no heirs to the throne, so there was no senshi from there. It's always been in alliance with Earth, so Darien is the closest thing to a soldier from there."
"So this Sailor Sun is just an imposter."
"An ally to Nemesis."
"So she must be evil too." Usagi still did not make a sound.
Luna and Artemis were sitting on a sofa, in front of the tv, watching the mews and discussing their new enemies.
"... the accident that happened tonight."
The cats perked their ears and began to listen intently.
"A car swerved out of control and crashed into a store. The store was closed at the time so nobody inside was harmed, but the driver of the car, now identified as Borisu Makorin, was killed immediately and all remains seemed to have burned. Because of the strong fire it isn't possible to tell the cause of the swerving, whether there was something wrong with the car or what..."
"So the man in the car was killed."
"...funny. Witnesses say there was actually a woman that was standing on the car after it crashed. Strange.
That's right, one woman's arm was broken by this weird women.
And then witnesses say the sailor senshi showed up.
But they weren't doing too well I hear.
Get this, a car owner is actually suing the senshi for damage to his car. Ha ha ha ha ..."
The cats sweatdrop. "Why would they want to kill that man?"
