Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out. I've been really busy, and I haven't had much time to write. It also took me a while to get any inspiration, but it's finally done! Oh, and I made up Sailor Nebula, so yeah. Her name is Kirei Hoshiko, or just Hoshiko. She's pretty cool, I think. Oh, her weapon is a diamond-bladed scythe (like the grim reaper). Anyway...
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon! I did make up this Sailor Nebula, but there are other variations on her out there. Otherwise, I don't own any of the other characters!
Luna was out the window and on the sidewalk in an instant. She hurried quickly and quietly down the street until she got to Ami's house.
"Ami! Ami, are you here?" she hissed when she arrived at Ami's window. Pretty soon she saw movement.
"Oh, who's there?" Ami questioned the night groggily.
"Ami! It's me, Luna. I need to talk to you," Luna said as she hopped into Ami's room from the ledge.
"What is it? And do you have to talk now? I mean, it is really late..." It was obvious Ami was tired.
"I wanted to find out about the battle today. Usagi was a terrible source. She was crabby and since she was knocked unconscious she didn't know what happened later. So I came to you because I know you pay such close attention to detail and you have an analytical mind which comes in handy a lot," Luna was quick to respond, and Ami couldn't deny it.
"Well, we were at the Arcade when we heard a scream. Of course we all took off running, and the sound was coming from the park. It turned out to be a youma torturing a girl. As soon as it saw us it dropped her, and we rescued the girl so that she wouldn't be getting in the way, and the youma couldn't get her again. I was helping distract the youma while Usagi and Hoshiko tried to come up with a plan, but all the attacks that we threw at it, it merely dodged or deflected. Finally, Usagi and Hoshiko seemed to come up with a plan and they went around to opposited sides of the monster. Usagi stood up and tried to throw an attack at the thing, but it managed to avoid it, and only got a cut. It threw Usagi to the ground and she was knocked unconscious. Fortunately, Tuxedo Kamen showed up and took Usagi away before it could hurt her anymore, and while it was busy with that, Hoshiko stood up with her Diamond Scythe and sliced it in half, successfully killing it," Ami finished her description of the battle.
"Where did Tuxedo Kamen take Usagi?" Luna immediately questioned.
"He took her to Rei's temple, because he figured that would be the safest place. He left her there when we showed up. A few minutes later, Mamoru came because Rei called him. That's about all that happened," Ami said, truthfully.
"Well, thank you, Ami, you've been most helpful. It seems that Hoshiko is going to be a very useful member of the Sailor Senshi, eh? That Diamond Scythe of hers always scares me, though! It makes me feel like someone just walked over my grave, every time I see it! Well, I must be going," Luna said as she leapt out the still-open window.
"Good night, Luna," Ami called gently, before going to bed.
Back in Usagi's bedroom...
Usagi was suddenly jolted from her sleep by a piercing scream.
Haven't there been enough of those today? Oh well, call of duty, I guess. Literally.
She jumped out of bed and climbed out her window. Once in the street below, she began to run. Quickly, she ducked into a side alley and transformed before popping back out again and continuing to run.
Who's bright idea was it, anyway, for us to have these horrible short skirts and heels? They're an absolute pain to run in, and I'm constantly having to hold down my skirt! Urgh! Luna's gonna get an earful when I get home...
Finally, she arrived at the source of the noise. But there was no youma. Instead, there was a gang of evil looking men surrounding a young girl. The sight of them and the idea of what was probably about to happen made Usagi sick to her stomach.
"Stop! Step away from the girl now or you will regret it!" she shouted. The men looked, sniggered, and left the girl. But to Usagi's dismay, they were coming at her, instead.
"We-ell, now. Looky here, boys, at the tart in the mini skirt! She looks like she'll be more fun than that other little drip over there," the man who apparently was the leader snickered contemptuously as he ran his eyes up and down Usagi's well conformed body. She felt like she had been defiled simply by having him look at her.
"Stay where you are! Don't you dare touch me, or I will seriously hurt you! Don't think I can't!" Usagi tried to sound confidant, but her voice and hands shook. When the men didn't stop, she started to take the tiara from her forehead.
"Moon Tiara Action!" she cried as she threw the tiara at the leader. He was only a few feet away now.
The tiara hit the man in the arm, and he fell to the ground clutching the gash on his bicep. However, this only enraged the other men more, and they came at her and started to reach for her. She fell to the ground, terrified. She knew these men could easily have their way with her and then kill her, and the idea scared her senseless.
Suddenly, a red blur cut one of the men on the cheek, and landed in front of her. It was a single beautiful rose. She looked up, and there, outlined against the full moon, was Tuxedo Kamen. Had she not been so delirious with fear, she would have cried for joy. He jumped down from the wall he was standing on and started advancing towards the men.
"Oh, look at the scary masked man in his fancy-schmancy evening wear!" one man taunted.
"If you don't step away from the lady right now, I will be forced to become violent, and believe me, you don't want that," Kamen replied coolly.
"Oh, yeah? You gonna hurt us Mr. Fancypants? You and what army? Hate to break it to ya, bud, but there's 5 of us and one of you. You're a smart boy, you do the math," and with that, the men continued to molest Sailor Moon.
That's when Tuxedo Kamen snapped. He raced towards the men and started beating them fiercely. He managed to knock two of them unconscious and was starting in on a third before the others finally came away from Sailor Moon to help in the fight. He knew he was fighting a losing battle, but he hoped he could keep them away from her.
"Sailor Moon! RUN!" He yelled as the men attacked him. She just sat there and gave him a blank, terrified look.
He punched one man in the stomach, kneed another, and punched the last one so hard he crumpled up like paper. Tuxedo Kamen ran over to Sailor Moon, picked her up, and started running as fast as he could away from the men so that they would be far away when all the men recovered. Fortunately, the other girl who had been there had regained conciousness and quietly slipped away, so he didn't have to worry about her.
As Sailor Moon started to regain some of her senses, she quickly started trying to push away from Tuxedo Kamen. She was now terrified of strange men, and she didn't really know anything about Tuxedo Kamen. For all she knew, he could be as bad as those others.
Tuxedo Kamen only took a second to figure out why she was resisting him, and he immediately put her down. She was going to try to run away, but he gently took hold of her wrist.
"Sailor Moon, please. Please promise me you won't go out alone at night anymore! For your own safety," he pleaded. She was suprised by how concerned he sounded. She silently nodded her head and ran off into the night.
