Sailor Moon R: Siren Squad
Summary: It's the year 2094, and the world has nearly been conquered. Almost everywhere you go, destruction and evil run rampant. Who's responsible for this? An alien race known only as the Merlandrians, an enemy even more powerful than any the Sailor Scouts have ever faced before. The Merlandrians are a race of triceratops-like aliens with a vicious temper and maternal instinct to destroy anything that crosses their path. The Scouts have split up, returning to their respective planets to deal with more divisions of Merlandrians. Only Nick (Sailor Mini Saturn) and his best friend Irma are left on Earth. They've been in hiding for a few years, but all of that is about to change when a mysterious benefactor from even farther in the future arrives. The mystery man gives Nick and Irma devices known as Siren Morphers, 2 of a set of 5 amazing devices crafted by the best scientists of the far future, using the mystical energies of the universe to transform Nick and Irma into Sailor Scouts once again to protect the people of Earth 2094. With these new powers, Nick and Irma are the only hope for Earth.
Note 1: This is a slight crossover with Power Rangers S.P.D., not in the "with the Rangers" way. Most of the technology from SPD is everywhere in this story, along with the addition of some new, author-created gadgets, like the Siren Morphers.
Note 2: I am SO, SO, SO sorry for the long hiatus from my stories. I just haven't had any ideas lately. Don't worry, though, I'm back and ready to roll!
Note 3: I don't own ANYTHING official from Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon or Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger/Power Rangers S.P.D. However, I do own Nick, Irma, the Merlandrians (my OCs), and any author-made gadgets. (i.e. the Siren Morphers) Can we get started now?
Note 4: Any mini-series episodes will be grouped into 1 chapter with each part in the chapter. And, if any pairings take place, it'll be Nick/Irma. All right then!
Now, without any further ado, I present to you:
Sailor Moon R: Siren Squad
Chapter 1
Episode 1: Out of Time, Part 1
We slowly close in on a wrecked planet Earth, circa 2094. As we enter a city skyline, we see nothing but destruction and wreckage. Looking at a city street, we now see a swarm of triceratops-looking aliens patrolling the ruins of the city. These are the evil Merlandrians, a new race of aliens with vicious tempers, destructive natures, and only one goal: to destroy all life in the universe.
Now, you're probably asking: "Where the heck are the Sailor Scouts?" The Sailor Scouts have all split up and headed back to their respective planets to deal with the Merlandrian invasion. Earth isn't the only place the Merlandrians have hit, you know.
Now, the only Sailor Scout left on Earth, Nick Kelly (Sailor Mini Saturn) and his best friend outside the Scouts, Irma Akaruisei, have gone into hiding, devising a way to free Earth from the wrought-iron grip of the Merlandrians.
Little do they know, the help they'll soon get is more powerful than you could imagine.
-
We now go to outer space, near an unstable hyperspace portal. By the mass of energy, a weirdly-designed space ship lies in front of the portal.
Inside the ship...
"The Earth is finally ours," says a low, gruff voice in the shadows of the ship's interior. "There are barely any humans left, and every city you could think of is destroyed. However, I am not completely satisfied yet. We must find a way to get rid of the rest of the pitiful humans, including those wretched Sailor Scouts as well. Griffor!"
At this call, a mysterious spike-headed creature approaches with a device in his hands. The gruff voice speaks again. "Do you have the locations of the 2 remaining Scouts?"
The spike-headed creature does a few readings, then responds, "The one from Pluto I cannot find. However, the 2nd Scout from Saturn is still down on Earth with a girl of about his age, who is emitting some incredibly strange power waves."
"Good. We'll deal with the Time Guardian later," says the gruff voice. "For now, find Mini Saturn and that girl, and kill them anyway you can."
"Yes, Emperor Merlan," Griffor says, walking off. Merlan looks around, his red eyes glowing even more menacingly. "I will not have any stragglers in those accursed Scouts stopping my plans to conquer this pitiful universe. I must make sure that no one interferes. No one."
-
We now shift back to Earth, somewhere deep in the Tokyo Underground. What looks like a base is sitting in the middle of the Central Underground Section. We spread out to see even more bases like the first one. This section of what the remaining humans have dubbed "the Underground" contains the people from Tokyo who haven't been killed or who haven't fled Earth to escape the Merlandrians. This group of rebels has made a vow not to back down from their inevitable task of driving the Merlandrians away.
We now switch to inside the first base we saw. A 15-year-old boy with short brown hair, wearing a sky blue shirt and short red jeans, is walking around, taking notes on something, all the while being watched by a 13-year-old girl with shoulder-length, curly brown hair, wearing a blue star-studded shirt and silver jeans. These kids are Nick Kelly and Irma Akaruisei, the 2 kids that Emperor Merlan mentioned earlier. These two are the leaders of the Tokyo Underground Section.
"Well, that's the last of the calculations, Irma," Nick says, punching in numbers on his UNDERGROUND2000 Data Entry Calculator. "I've just rerouted some auxiliary power into our weapons systems. Our secret weapon should be finished in a few days, at most."
"That's good," Irma says, her voice kind of distant and faraway. Nick notices this, and he walks up to Irma, putting his arm around her. "Still upset about Kevin?" Nick says, referring to Kevin Masters, an Underground soldier that Irma had a crush on for a while. He had recently been killed by the Merlandrian army, but the Underground drove the army back with their assault vehicles, the Squad Runners, before any more casualties happened.
"Yeah... it seemed like he was the only one outside of our sector who actually understood me. Ever since I was born, people just cast me aside because of my powers. They didn't want anything to do with me..." Irma says sadly.
"Oh... I didn't realize it was like that," Nick replies, rubbing Irma's shoulders sympathetically. She sighs longingly, then looks up at Nick, her sapphire eyes shining. "I really loved him, Nick. He was the only one before you who ever understood me..." Irma begins to cry, but Nick just dries her tears.
"Listen, Irma, I know you're sad about Kevin, but you have to remember, he's in a better place now. And, I promise you, we'll get back at the Merlandrians for Kevin's death. You just have to remember, the people here in the Underground actually understand you and your powers. And none more so..." He looks Irma in the eyes. "...than me."
Irma's eyes begin to water up upon the closing of Nick's speech. She dries her eyes, looks up at Nick, and says, "Thanks, Nick. You're awfully sweet to me." She hugs Nick, smiling. Nick does the same, saying, "It's a best friend thing, Irma." They hold that position for a few minutes, when suddenly the alarms ring. The Merlandrians are on the move.
"Attention, all Underground soldiers! Report to Squad Runners at once! The Merlandrians are converging on the remains of the Museum of Natural History!" a booming voice sounds over the intercom. Irma looks to Nick. "What do you think they want from the Museum?"
Nick thinks for a moment, then looks up. "I'll bet it's the Zyrtonian Moon Crystal! I read that the Merlandrians have been trying to get that crystal for 20 years now!"
"The Museum security's fled Earth, Nick! If the Merlandrians get their hands on that crystal, we're finished! God knows how much power's in it!" Irma says, a hint of worry in her voice.
Nick gets up, releasing his grip on Irma. "We'd better get to the Squad Runners and fast!" The two start towards the transport tube, but a bright flash of light stops them. They look on in amazement as a portal opens in the small room. Suddenly, a man jumps out of the portal, and it closes behind him. Irma notices that most of this man is covered in a cloak, and that he is carrying a box with what looks like a siren on it.
Irma is the first to break the silence. "Um, who are you, mister?"
"There is no time. I came back from the year 2121 to give these to you," the man says, hinting towards his box.
"What are they?" Nick asks.
"In my time, the Underground was completely decimated in the battle that is about to take place. The devices in this box have been created by the best scientists of my time to be given to 5 chosen people from the recent past. These devices are Earth's only hope against the Merlandrians."
The man opens the box to reveal 5 glowing, rectangle shaped devices. Nick and Irma gasp in awe at the devices. "Behold, the Siren Morphers."
Nick slowly reaches for the green morpher. It pulsates, pushing his hand back. He tries each one until he reaches the purple morpher. He slowly reaches for it, and the device glows purple and flies into his hand. The blue morpher does the same with Irma.
"The other 3 will go to the other chosen ones. When you use the morphers for the first time, they will lock on to your DNA code, so only you or someone whose DNA matches closely enough to yours can morph with these. Use them well."
"Wait! Don't we need to say some sort of command to activate these things!" Nick shouts to the man, who is disappearing through another portal.
"When the time comes, you will know," the man said before the portal closed, leaving Nick and Irma slightly confused.
Episode 2: Out of Time, Part 2
We now snap to the Museum of Natural History, where the Merlandrians are about to fire on the museum. The army's commander steps up.
"Merlandrian 22nd Command! Ready!" the commander says.
The army readies their weapons.
"Aim!"
The army points their weapons at the Museum just as the Tokyo Underground in their Squad Runner vehicles arrive on the scene.
Jeremy, leader of the M Squad, shouts, "Go, Underground! Give 'em heck!"
With that, the Underground soldiers hop out of the Squad Runners and charge for the Merlandrian army. The two sides do battle for a while, neither one really having the upper hand.
Then, a Merlandrian soldier comes out from the museum, a glowing yellow crystal in his hands.
"Commander! I have the Zyrtonian Moon Crystal!"
"Excellent, soldier. Shall we kill these humans so we can-"
"Drop that crystal!" a female voice rings out in the morning air.
The whole area turns to see Nick and Irma standing proudly in the street near the battlefield.
"Or you'll have to answer to us," Nick finishes, smiling proudly. Needless to say, the Merlandrians aren't surprised.
"What makes you think 2 of you lousy humans can defeat us?" the army commander says in a mocking tone, but is soon shut up when he sees Nick and Irma take out their Siren Morphers.
"I believe it would be these," Irma says.
"Ready, Irma?" Nick asks her.
"As I'll ever be," she replies.
In synchronized motion, the two Underground warriors thrust their hands out in a half-circle before drawing the hand with their Siren Morphers back. The morphers begin to glow.
"Siren Squad, Emergency!" they shout, thrusting the morphers out.
((Transformation sequence (in split-screen): Nick and Irma press the buttons on the top of their morphers, opening the hatch on the front to reveal a siren which fills the screen with the respective light color. As we draw back a bit, we see Nick and Irma on a platform, holding their morphers out. A holographic image is projected from each morpher, showing Nick and Irma as Sailor Scouts. (Nick is Sailor Mini Saturn, Irma is Sailor Mercury.) Their bodies become covered in energy of their respective color. They do a backflip off the platform, leaving streaks of light behind them. They do several acrobatic moves before landing on a far-off platform, the energy disappearing off of their bodies and swirling to form a tiara on their heads, completing their transformation.))
As the light clears, the Underground looks at Nick and Irma, now fully transformed from the universal energies inside the Siren Morphers. Nick, now fully clothed in his Super Sailor Mini Saturn uniform (with the extra addition of a big, bold 1 on the right side of the front), looks at Irma, who is in Super Sailor Mercury's uniform, with a 2 on the chest.
"And who might you be?" the Merlandrian army commander asks the Scouts.
"Siren Purple!" Nick says, shifting into a battle stance.
"Siren Blue!" Irma says, also shifting into fighting stance.
The sirens on their tiaras flash as they show the monster their morphers, identifying themselves.
"We are the Sailor Scouts!" the two yell together.
"So, you are the menaces that our commander has told us to destroy," the army leader says in annoyance. "But, didn't Sailor Mercury already leave for her home planet to stop more of our ranks?"
"She did," Nick replies. "But my friend here is thr new Sailor Mercury. We are the Siren Scouts!"
"You're not gonna stop me!" the army commander says, charging for the two heroes.
Instantly, Nick and Irma draw both a short sword and a grip blaster from the belts around their waists. They then charge for the monster, doing battle for a while.
"Hey, is that a rogue Zanabatar?" Nick says to the army commander.
"A what?" The monster turns around, giving Nick and Irma ample time to do a double attack with the short swords, causing sparks to fly from the point of impact. The monster screams in agony as he clutches his wound, giving the two heroes time to plug their short swords to the grips.
"Siren Striker!" they yell as they turn the new weapons on the monster.
"Let's see how you like a taste of this!" Irma says, a hint of mischief in her voice.
"You Merlandrians have ruled our planet for far too long. I swear, even if it has to be just me and Irma..." Nick turns the power to full on his Siren Striker, while Irma does the same with hers. "...the Sailor Scouts..."
The kids put their fingers on the triggers.
"...will never quit!"
They pull the triggers, sending a typhoon of blue and purple laser blasts flying for the monster. Sparks fly everywhere, followed by a series of multiple small explosions, as the laser bolts strike the Merlandrian army commander relentlessly.
Then, Nick swings his blaster back, the short sword glowing with an amazing power. As the other Underground soldiers start cheering, Nick thrusts his Siren Striker forward, sending a huge bolt of energy for the monster that strikes and promptly pounds a foot-long hole in him. Electricity begins to flow from the defeated monster as he falls to the ground and explodes.
"You did it, Nick! You beat him!" Irma shouts.
"No..."
Nick takes her hand and puts his other arm around her.
"We beat him."
Irma smiles sweetly as the explosion subsides. The Tokyo Underground begins to cheer in victory as the rest of the Merlandrian 22nd Command begins to retreat.
"Oh, no, you don't," Nick says, aiming his Siren Striker towards the the retreating army. Irma then crosses her blaster with Nick's, smiling brightly. They pull the triggers, sending whirls of laser beams flying from the blasters that strike and destroy one Merlandrian after another until all of the army is wiped out.
Nick puts away his Siren Striker, as does Irma. "All right, power down."
With that, the Sailor Scouts' suits disappear from the two Underground warriors in a spiral of their color. Nick looks to the Underground. "Okay, team. Let's return to base. Job well done."
When that is said and done, the soldiers get into their Squad Runners and head back. All but Nick and Irma, that is.
Nick is just standing there, by the ruins of the recent battle. He looks thoughtful for a few seconds until Irma walks up to him, wrestling her sweat jacket off of her to reveal a sky blue tank top. She puts her hand on Nick's shoulder and says, "Something on your mind?"
"...no, not...not really."
Irma knew he was lying. "Hey, if there's something you want to talk about, you can say it." She sits down by Nick. "Talk to me."
Nick sighs and sits down. "Irma, that guy who gave us the Siren Morphers says he's from a farther future, right?"
"Yeah."
Nick looks at his Siren Morpher. "If what he said is true, and we're Earth's last hope..."
Nick looks back at Irma.
"...we're in for a long ride."
"Yeah, I figured that."
Irma hugs Nick and continues in her soft, sweet voice.
"Come on, let's go home."
Nick nods as Irma closes her eyes and focuses. Soon enough, the two disappear in a field of light, teleporting back to the Tokyo Underground base.
-
Emperor Merlan pounds his fist on the armrest of his throne.
"Blast! Those accursed Sailor Scouts still have some fight left in them. I can not believe that just two of them decimated the entire 22nd Command!"
We can obviously see that the evil prince is very angry.
Griffor appears by Merlan's side.
"No need to worry, my emperor. I have a new monster all ready for experimentation. If all goes well, we shall have it ready by tomorrow morning!"
"For your sake, Griffor, it had better be," Merlan says with a snarl.
Griffor nods, "Yes, my lord," and walks off. Merlan looks back at the viewing screen.
"Sailor Scouts, you have been a thorn in my side for too long. No matter. I will see to your eventual destruction. Count on it."
-
As night falls, we shift back to Nick and Irma's room in their base at the Tokyo Underground. Nick and Irma are getting ready for bed.
"Nick?"
Nick turns to see Irma in her pajamas.
"Hey, Irma."
Irma walks up to him, a sweet smile on her face.
"Nick, can I say something?"
"Yeah?"
Irma puts her arms around Nick, looking into his eyes.
"I just want to say... I'm really glad I met you. If I hadn't, who knows what would have happened with my powers? People already rejected me enough because of that."
"I know how you feel, Irma. I had to go through the same thing when I was younger, too," Nick replies, "but, once I had finally gained acceptance from my fellow civilians, the Dark Axis just had to start their attack."
"I guess when you're gifted with powers like these, things always start freaking out," Irma says before releasing her grip on Nick.
"Let's get to bed. I am sleepy," Nick says as the two head off to bed.
Just as Irma is about to turn off the light, Nick wonders something.
"Irma? Now that we have the Merlandrians to deal with along with these new powers, I'd say we're gonna be in for one wild ride."
"We'll just have to perservere," Irma replies, "until we can find a way to rid the universe of the Merlandrians once and for all."
"And we'll do it..."
"Together," Irma finishes before kissing Nick on the forehead.
"G'night."
"Night, Irma."
With that, Irma shuts off the light and the two fall asleep, wondering about tomorrow.
