01

She lived a good happy life, other than being Sailor Moon and

fighting evil. Her life was going to get a bit more complicated.

It all started about two months after the defeat of Chaos. Usagi

had been experiencing major headaches and burning sensations on

her forehead while she slept at night. She had no nightmares, only

burning sensations. Then one night, she spent the night with her

family watching a movie with her family. Even then, she didn't

feel good.

"Mom, Dad, Shingo, I don't feel good. I am going to bed early."

She told them as she headed to her room. Ikuko Tsukino followed.

She was concerned for her daughter.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay?"

Usagi's mother asked.

"Yeah. I am fine."

Usagi replied. After that, Usagi's mom went back into the living

room. Luna was also worried.

"Usagi-Chan, you have those headaches again?"

Luna asked. Luna was a beautiful black cat with a yellow crescent

moon on her forehead. Luna was Usagi's guardian and advisor.

"Yeah, but I don't know why I am having them."

Usagi replied looking confused.

"Why don't you go to bed and I am sure you'll feel good the next

day!"

Luna suggested. Now Usagi was a fairly beautiful girl. She had

blond hair in meatballs with ponytails coming from each one.

She stood 4'11" tall. She also had blue eyes. Usagi went to bed.

as soon as she did, the headaches increased. The burning sensations

were increasing each moment. Finally while she was sleeping, the

burning sensations caused her crescent moon to appear on her forehead

permanently! The pains were increasing each minute that went by.

Usagi remembered what Rei-Chan told her sometime back.

"Usagi?"

Rei asked.

"Yes?"

Usagi answered.

"I know we fight and argue a lot, but I want you to know that

you're like a sister to me. If you are facing a serious situation,

please don't hesitate to ask for my help. I don't care if it

is daytime or nighttime. I don't care. I will want to help."

Rei explained to her. Usagi didn't know what to think of it.

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Rei told her. Then Usagi woke up. Usagi looked horrible. Her

forehead was sweating. Usagi's temperature must have been

very high, because it was like it was on fire, but there

was no flames. Usagi knew she couldn't stay there any longer.

Luna was asleep and didn't hear Usagi get up. Usagi didn't

bother trying put her clothes on. She just went in her pajamas.

All the other Tsukino's were asleep. Usagi staggered out the door

and started walking down the street. She knew she had to get to

Rei's. On the way there, Usagi's crescent moon was bleeding

at a fast rate. Blood dropped from her forehead on the ground

below. Usagi started to go into a into a daze. Somehow Usagi

managed to make it there. She staggered up the steps of the

Hikawa Shrine and managed to make it inside the shrine. She

started to cry out Rei's name. Tears flowed from her eyes.

Usagi didn't understand what was happening to her. As she

walked she kept looking for Rei's room. She called for

Rei.

"Rei... I need help Rei! I am in a bind! Where are you Rei-Chan?"

Usagi kept calling for Rei. Finally Rei heard Usagi. At first

Rei was angry that Usagi woke her up. Then Rei heard Usagi's

desperate cry for help. Once Rei saw that Usagi was in a definite

bind. Rei saw the blood coming out of Usagi's forehead of where

the yellow crescent moon was. Usagi was exhausted. Usagi barely

was able to talk to Rei. Usagi fell into Rei's arms. Rei tried

to keep her tears from flowing. Usagi looked up at Rei. She tried

to talk.

"You said..."

Usagi started,

"If I need your help, that you would help me. Something is happening

to me and I am in desperate need of help! Remember what you told me?"

Usagi asked. Usagi was barely conscious. Rei took a tissue to wipe

away the blood from Usagi's forehead. When Rei touched the crescent

moon to wipe away the blood. Usagi made a scream!

"AARRGGHH! THAT HURTS!!!!!!"

Usagi screamed due to being touched. Rei felt bad.

"I am sorry. Usagi."

Rei spoke in a remorse tone.

"Please... help!"

After Usagi said that. Usagi fainted.

"Oh, Usagi-Chan. Gomen!"

Rei spoke to the unconscious Usagi. Rei then got on her communicator.

"Ami, are you there?"

Rei asked by talking into her communicator. Ami answered.

"Rei? Do you know what time is it?"

Ami asked.

"I know. I'm sorry. This is an emergency, come to the Hikawa Shrine

quickly and I'll tell you once you're here."

Rei told her.

"Got it!"

Ami told her. Ami deactivated her communicator. Rei did the same.

Ami ran all the way to the Hikawa Shrine and came in the room. During in mid

sentence... Ami saw what the emergency was about. Ami noticed Usagi

was bleeding.

"Oh my God, Rei! Usagi is bleeding!"

Ami ran over to Usagi. Ami carefully touched Usagi's forehead.

"Her crescent moon has appeared? How?"

Ami asked.

"I don't know. Somehow, Usagi managed to get here on her own."

Rei answered.

"Usagi's forehead feels like it's on fire."

Ami stated.

"Ami, transform into Sailor Mercury. Please scan her. See what's

wrong with her! Do it for Usagi!"

Rei begged.

"Okay. For Usagi. Mercury Crystal Power! Make Up!"

Ami cried as she transformed into Sailor Mercury! She then activated

her visor and started scanning Usagi head for something unusual. She

found something.

"Oh my God! Rei! Not only Usagi's temperature is high, but Usagi's

brain activity is off the chart!"

Super Sailor Mercury replied.

"Anything else?"

Rei asked.

"Only that Usagi's pulse rate is high and her breathing is very labored. That's

all I am able to tell you now."

Super Sailor Mercury answered as she retransformed.

"Should we call the others and alert them?"

Rei asked.

"Yes. This is a Senshi matter. And I'll have Haruka pick up

Mamo-Chan."

Ami answered.

"Ok."

Rei answered. Rei called everyone and told them that something

happened to Usagi. Rei also told Haruka to pick up Mamoru. In

moments, everyone arrived.

"What on earth?"

Makoto asked.

"Usagi had been going through some terrible headaches."

Rei explained the situation to the Senshi. By this time, Rei

had placed Usagi in her bed and put band-aids on Usagi's crescent

moon so it could stop the bleeding. However, it did burn up the

band-aids completely. Rei and the others were shocked. Soon, Usagi

woke up out a dead sleep. Minako walked over and held Usagi's

hand. Minako spoke.

"Usagi? How long have you been suffering like this?"

Minako asked.

"About a month..."

Usagi replied in a soft tone where she could barely spoke. Then she

continued,

"Each night I had the headaches... they just got worse! Tonight was

the worst it been in ages. I am so confused why this is happening."

Usagi explained her situation.

"Usagi, I am going to need you brooch and take a sample of your

blood. Maybe the answer lies with your blood and your brooch."

Ami told Usagi.

"Okay."

Usagi replied slowly.

"Thank you. I will have the results tomorrow afternoon, so everyone

we should meet here tomorrow."

Ami replied. Everyone but Mamo-Chan, Luna, and Artemis left.

"So, Usako, are you feeling?"

Mamo-Chan asked.

"I feel terrible!"

Usagi protested.

"I see."

Mamoru spoke softly.

"Usagi, maybe you should say here for the night. In the morning,

I'll call your parents that you needed help and that you had

come here. They'll understand."

Rei told her.

"Okay, I understand."

Usagi replied slowly. Her forehead was still bleeding, but not as

bad. Her headaches were still massive. Her head felt like it was

going to split it two. This proved too much for her. Usagi fell

sleep again.

"Rei, call me if something else bad happens."

Mamoru told her and then he left. Rei watched over Usagi. She

cleaned Usagi's forehead where all the blood was. In the early

morning hours, Usagi's headaches subside and went away. By now

she was one tired girl. She soon woke up around 6:30 in the

morning. She couldn't remember how she got there. Rei saw her

awake.

"What am I doing in your bed?"

Usagi asked.

"Don't you remember? You were in terrible shape! Your headaches

were terrible."

Rei told her.

"I have no memory of it. I am sorry."

Usagi replied. Rei felt terrible.

"Your mother came by and brought some clothes. Maybe you should

get ready for school."

Rei suggested.

"Okay."

Usagi replied. Usagi got dressed. She had her school uniform.

"I see that your forehead where the crescent moon is no longer

bleeding."

Rei told her.

"It was bleeding?"

Usagi asked as she went into a mirror and saw her crescent moon on

her forehead.

"So my crescent moon is on my forehead permanently?"

Usagi asked.

"It looks like that. Here put these band-aids on your forehead.

So people won't discover who you really are."

Rei commanded.

"Okay."

Usagi replied. In most cases, Usagi would have argued, however now

she was in no position to argue.

"Usagi, Haruka will arrive here in a moment and take you to

school. She will also pick you up as well."

Rei told her.

"Okay."

Usagi replied. Usagi put on two band-aids and put the rest in her

purse.

"Usagi, for some reason, the headaches return and burn away the

band-aids, cover your head quickly with your hand to prevent others

from seeing her crescent moon."

Rei explained to her.

"Okay."

Usagi replied. Haruka arrived.

"I am here. Ready Odango?"

Haruka asked.

"Yeah."

Usagi replied.

"Bye Rei."

Usagi spoke to her. Haruka supported Usagi to her car since Usagi

was probably very weak and couldn't make it there on her own.

In the car was Michiru.

"Hello Usagi-San, I hope you are better this morning. We were

worried about you in the night."

Michiru told her.

"Thank you. I'll be okay."

Usagi thanked her. At Juuban High, they dropped off Usagi.

Ami helped Usagi inside. Naru saw Usagi.

"Usagi, you look terrible!"

Naru spoke as she saw the band-aids on Usagi's forehead.

"Did you hurt yourself?"

Naru asked.

"Yes. I fell off my bed and my forehead hit the wall."

Usagi made a good excuse, however she lied. Naru could tell if

Usagi was lying or telling the truth. Naru just accepted Usagi's

answer. After school Haruka took Usagi back to the Hikawa Shrine.

Ami had already studied the Ginzuishou in Usagi's brooch, Ami

transformed to Super Sailor Mercury and took Usagi's blood sample

to the Tokyo DNA Laboratory.

"Hello? Are you Mr. Monokawa, the famous DNA scientist?"

Super Sailor Mercury asked.

"Yes I am. How can I help you?"

He ask her.

"See this here, this is a blood sample of Sailor Moon. Something

wrong is happening with her body and I need to know if there is

something with her DNA? It's just a hunch I have. Can you help?"

Super Sailor Mercury asked.

"Sure. Let's see the sample. It'll will only take a few minutes.

Please wait here."

Mr. Monokawa told her. He took the blood sample and ran some

tests and from it got a DNA sample. Then he came back with the

results.

"Sailor Mercury, right? I have the results. Sailor Moon's own

DNA is basically being overwritten by another DNA sequence.

It's only a matter of time before this new DNA takes over.

It looks like it had been rewriting her DNA for sometime.

That's all I can tell you. Here's that blood sample back."

Mr. Monokawa told her.

"Thanks."

Super Sailor Mercury thanked him and then left. She headed

for the Hikawa Shrine and asked everyone to meet her there.

Once she arrived, everyone waited for her.

"So, what's the results?"

Usagi asked.

"Basically from the observations I made from the Ginzuishou in

Usagi's brooch and I also had Usagi's blood sample tested by

a DNA Scientist named Mr. Monokawa. He told me that Usagi's

DNA is being overwritten by another DNA. And this I would

hypothesize that is the Moon Princess's DNA. So, my guess is

that Usagi is being permanently transformed into the Moon

Princess once and for all."

Ami answered them. It was like a bombshell that they couldn't

get over.

"Are you sure?"

"There must be some mistake!"

"This can't be happening!"

Three people answered at once.

"There's no mistake. Soon if I am correct, Usagi's DNA, Usagi's

mind, personalities will be replaced by the Moon Princess's

DNA and personalities. I believe Usagi's true Identity may

be leaked soon. So let's pledge to make this transition easy

for her. Understand?"

"Yes."

Everyone replied. The toughest pain and suffering still awaited

Usagi, since it would get worse before it gets better.
