Changing Causes Chaos
Chapter Five: The Formula For Ice Is Mercury
"Hey Darien! Your here early," called Melvin as Darien trudged up the white, stone steps at the entrance of Juban High. (AN: I have no idea what the name of school was in the Anime so I'm going to have to stick with this... It'd be nice if someone could tell me though.) Juban High was for both upper-class men and lower-class men so many other, older students, stood, books in hand chatting with their friends.
"My mom tricked me," Darien replied dryly while pulling twigs and leaves from his hair. Then for the twentieth time on his trip to school he remembered his little incident with the mysterious woman on the street 'Grrr... all she did was pull two twigs from my hair, nothing else. So why can't I get it out of my head?'
You like her Whispered an annoying voice from the back of his mind. (An: Is everyone here schizophrenic?)
'I do NOT! She's cruel, cold, CREEPY, mean and a little too old for me. Besides she probably already has a boyfriend. I may never see her again, so let's drop the subject okay?' Darien argued mentally.
No, I'm not dropping this. You may say that but cannot deny that she is breathtakingly beautiful. Also, you mentioned her probably having a boyfriend meaning you were probably thinking about whether or not she's single. Can't you see where this conversation's heading or are you really that thick? Besides never say never. Ignoring the voice Darien looked at Melvin, who, he realized, was trying to get his attention for several minutes.
"Sorry Melvin, I was spacing. what did you say?"
"I was asking, how did your mom trick you?" Darien shrugged,
"She told me that I was twenty minutes late for school, making me nearly break all the bones in my body for nothing!!" Grumbled Darien. "I knew something was up when I saw Samantha still eating breakfast..."
"Hey Melvin, Hey...Darien?!" Molly said and hers eyes were wide with surprise as she walked up the steps.
"DON'T ask..." Molly just shrugged.
"Did you both hear of the new student?" Both Darien and Molly shook their heads. "Her name is Amy Anderson and she's coming from one of those genius schools...Brighton Academy is what it's called."
"Where did you hear that Melvin?" Molly asked just as the bell rung. As they trudged into the entrance doors Melvin answered self- importantly,
"Gossip, besides I do my homework."
"Well she's probably a snob," commented Darien. "Those kind of people normally are."
After they all entered the class and the bell rung once again Ms. Haruna took roll. When she came to Darien's name she was good and ready to mark him tardy but Darien stopped her. Her response to that was free time for halve the day. (AN: Why don't the normal teachers do that?)
Seven hours later
Molly and Melvin and Darien walked along the crowed hallways talking about random things. Darien got out side and froze, on the tall brick wall lining the school yard sat a black cat with a golden crescent moon on her forehead.
"Hey guys....I have to go do something, can we meet up sometime later?" Darien said reluctantly.
"Okay Darien, see you later!" Called Molly and Melvin as he walked away from them. He reached Luna quickly, she jumped on his shoulder and whispered in his ear,
"Go walk in some place that is deserted..."
"Why?"
"BECAUSE if someone sees you talking to a cat they're bound to think you're insane or if they're with the Negaverse they'll suspect something!" She hissed in annoyance.
"Fine, fine!" He shrugged and as casually as he could looked around to see if anyone heard him. Nope, no one did. Then he walked off to find a deserted looking street when Luna jumped off his shoulder and landed on the nearby brick wall.
"Darien, I came here to look for you because you need to begin the search for the other Sailor Scouts." Darien groaned and opened his mouth to argue.
"But-" But before he could even begin she jumped off the wall and ran down the sidewalk. 'What the-?' He thought in confusion then two seconds later ran after her. Luna had run up to a blue haired girl and was purring loudly.
"I'm sorry, Luna just ran off..." The girl smiled shyly and shook her head. She had aqua blue eyes and dark blue hair, she looked to be around 5'2" and 14 years old.
"Don't worry, I was actually enjoying her company, Is Luna her name?"
"Yeah...Hey, my name is Darien."
"I know, your friends were the ones who said that you thought I might be a snob."
"Heh...sorry," Darien sweat dropped and grinned nervously. "Then you must be Amy Anderson." She nodded. "Would you like me to show you around town?"
"That would be nice..."
"Great! Then the first place I'll show you is the arcade!" Then he grabbed her arm and ran off full speed towards the arcade.
Serena's POV
'Dammit!' I thought in annoyance as I ran down the crowded sidewalks near the Tokyo Park. 'I'm going to be late...' I looked down at my watch again, it read 4:15, then I looked up to the clock tower (AN: I'm not sure whether there really is a clock tower there...heh....') and skidded to a halt. The clock tower read 3:15...My clock was an hour off!!
"Great...I rushed off for nothing then" I sighed softly and looked around to where I was. Turns out I was a block away from the computer cram school classes that had become popular several days ago. Shaking my head I took a deep breath and walked aimlessly in a randomly chosen direction. When I walked a block I came across the entrance to the school and to my surprise saw the kid who I kept running into. He was standing outside with a strangely familiar black cat on his shoulder and he was talking to himself. 'No stupid impulses.' I told myself, my conscious just snickered slyly but remained silent.
"Talking to yourself again, Air head?" I said calmly as I walked up to him. He turned and frowned when he saw me. 'Yes, I am not happy meeting you here either...' I said to him mentally.
"Oh it's you, I didn't hear you slither up...Besides, my name is DARIEN, not Air Head! can't you get that through your thick skull? I got to go!" He said and he quickly ran in the opposite direction with his stunned looking cat.
'Definitely a strange kid....' Fifteen minutes later I was trudging to the Video Gaming/Arts Co. because my part-time job as a doctor wasn't helping me much to pay the bills. I know my parent's left me with a large inheritance but I donated most of it, I gave a large amount to my old orphanage. No matter how bad my experiences were there I couldn't leave it in it's financial state so I lent them a hand. So that meant that I had half of what I originally had in my bank account. I was just going to leave the money in the bank and let it add up and I would only use it in an emergency. That leaves me in my current situation. My part-time job at the hospital is mainly for internship (AN: Correct me if I'm wrong at all about internships.) and they don't pay a lot, so I have to find a second job until I can get a full-time job as a doctor. I stopped at a ten story, grey building with somewhat tinted windows to protect the inhabitants from the sun. Opening the doors I walked inside the cool, air-conditioned lobby and looked at the clock. 3:35. that meant that I had another hour and forty minutes before classes started...I made sure to change my wrist watch to the correct time before walking up to the receptionist.
"I'm Serena Alexander, I was asked to come in..." The young brown haired woman flicked through her files before nodding and buzzing the boss then letting me go ahead. I entered the long office hallway and looked back and forth. 'Is this some kind of joke? How am I supposed to find this guy if I don't know where his office is?!' After much wanderings I stumbled across his office. We talked mainly about boring things....believe me, I'm surprised I stayed awake. At last the talking came to an end and he said I was hired and I should come to work in a couple weeks. When I was walked out of the building and was free at last I felt a sharp pain in my head.
"What the-?!" Then everything went black.
Narrator's POV
Darien ran into the cram school in the disguise of a doctor. He ran past countless classes then stopped and turned to Luna who was beside him.
"Which class is Amy in?!" He panted as he eyed seven identical looking doors. Luna took a deep breath then said,
"Number seven!" Nodding, Darien started running towards door number seven and opened it quickly. Inside, all the students had passed out and their heads were lying on top of the desks. The only person awake stood up and asked,
"May I help you, sir? Is there an emergency of some kind? Tell me." It was Amy.
"How about a total meltdown crisis Amy!"
"Do I know you?" She asked confused.
"Now's not the time to play stupid. TERRA INTEGRITY!!" Darien yelled and then began his transformation into Tuxedo Mask. Suddenly the teacher of the class came back into the room and began to scold Amy.
"Amy! Can't I leave you in charge of this class even for a minute?" then her eyes blackened and she grew claws, "OH WELL, THEN GUESS I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU..." Lunging forward, the woman/monster grabbed Amy's neck and laughed hideously.
'Then that means that Amy isn't apart of the Negaverse...' thought Tuxedo Mask then he yelled aloud, "Luna! What do I do now?!"
"Wing it!" He glared at the cat before straightening up.
"Let go of her, you beast! I am Tuxedo Mask, Champion of Truth and Justice. On behalf of Earth, I will crush you!!" the monster grinned and snarled,
"POP QUIZ"
"Huh?"
"THIS IS A CRAM SCHOOL, WE WANT ANSWERS, 355 x 268" The monster hissed.
"Wait a second, you're not my teacher and this isn't my school so I don't have to answer anything!" Tuxedo Mask answered stubbornly.
"TIME'S UP, TOO BAD. YOU FAIL." It then pulled out ten sharp cornered papers and flung them at him only to have him dodge them all quickly.
"Hah! you missed big time!" He crowed tauntingly. Suddenly the monster waved it's hand and the students who had passed out before were now zombies for the Negaverse. They all got up and walked slowly towards Tuxedo Mask. "Crap!"
"GIVE ME YOUR ENERGY GIRL, DO YOU REALLY THINK ANYONE NEEDS YOU? YOU ALREADY FLUNKED THIS SCHOOL BIG TIME..." The monster snarled as she rammed Amy's face against a computer and attempted to drain her energy.
"Never! I'll never give in to you, you smelly, old witch!" the Amy cried defiantly. As the monster tried to drain her again, a blue symbol appeared on her forehead.
"WHAT'S THIS...?"
"The symbol of Mercury!" gasped Luna before she took off running towards the blue haired girl with an object in her mouth. Meanwhile with Tuxedo Mask, he was trapped in a corner with many of the zombified students closing in but then, one of the students fell, then another and another till none of them were standing. Tuxedo Masked looked around the room in confusion. He could see nothing in the somewhat large room filled with computers that could have saved him. Then his eyes fell to the masked woman leaning casually against the door frame but before he opened his mouth to say something a flash of aqua blue filled the room and his attention snapped to where Amy used to be. In her place was a woman with an aqua colored sailor suit on.
"Cool! Amy's Sailor Mercury!" Muttered Tuxedo Mask under his breath.
"Mercury Bubbles!" That was when the masked woman jumped forward and yelled,
"Now's your chance Tuxedo Mask! Destroy this monster!" Then the room filled with fog and he did his finishing move. Surprisingly he hit the monster dead on. When the fog cleared, the woman was gone.
Serena
The blonde haired eighteen year-old suddenly shot up from her sleeping position on her couch and rubbed her temple with both hands.
'Wh-what's happening to me...' She got up, walked into her bathroom and looked into her mirror with wide blue eyes. Her reflection wasn't the same as she remembered leaving it, it was up in the style of two buns on either side of her head. 'Why can't I remember what happened? I remember leaving the V.G.A building but that is it...how'd I end up here?' she closed her eyes and leaned her head against the cold mirror.
"I need to sleep..." She moaned.
This chapter took me a while because I got writers block...T.T tragic isn't it? lol. Well, when I finally started writing again I lost my previous rhythm and thats why the second half of this chapter may seem...dull. Sorry if you all were expecting much more...Please review though. I'll accept the criticism along with compliments (If there are any). Thanks again!
