Part 2
Juuban District, Tokyo, Japan.
Serena, dressed like a normal middle school student, walked to school. It was a difficult transition for her. She had to act like a human being, which included eating. She had to in order to convince the Tsukino family of her "human-ness". Thank goodness that there was that other aspect of the human condition that she no longer had to deal with.
The herald of Galactus had obtained a human identity, that of "Serena Moonchild" of New York, New York, which made her an American. Of course, it was not difficult in learning the Japanese language. Of course, some aspects of the human condition eluded her, such as cultural awareness. As a cosmic being, Serena is able to learn and accumulate vast sums of knowledge. After all, if she needs to collect a planet for her Master, she rather be prepared for any nasty surprises that lay in store for her.
While pondering her thoughts, on her way to Crossroads Middle School, Serena spied upon a disturbing scene. A small group of Earth children were taunting a helpless Earth cat. The sight reminded her how far behind these lower life-form were at times. Feeling charitable, however, Serena intervened.
"Earth children," Serena began. "I recommend that you cease your…'shenanigans'."
"Oh, yeah?" replied one of the boys. "What are you going to do about it?"
Serena flashed her eyes, revealing that she was more than what she seemed to be.
"Let's get out of here!" the lead boy yelled.
And with that, the boys took off running.
Serena then turned to the helpless animal. She noticed that there was a band-aid taped on its forehead.
"I will heal your injuries, kitten."
However, upon removing the band-aid, a crescent moon mark was revealed.
"L-Luna?" Serena asked.
Suddenly, the mark flashed a bright light. When Serena could see again, the cat had disappeared.
"Hmmm," Serena mused. As soon as she could, she will search for the Lunar cat.
While in deep thought, Serena nearly bumped into a stranger.
"Woah!"
Serena looked up.
"My apologies," Serena said. "Are you well?"
"I'm fine, actually," the man said. "And you?"
Serena performed a quick scan. He appeared to be in near perfect condition of a man in his twenties.
"I am well. Sorry for taking up your time."
And with that, Serena continued on her way to school.
"Hmmm," Bruce Wayne mused, as he saw the girl walk away. For some strange reason, she seemed familiar to him. He'll have to file that thought for later. After all, he's here to make sure that his 'ward' receives enough training to assume his duties as "Robin", the side-kick of the BATMAN.
At any rate, Bruce was on his back to the Nerima District to check on Dick's training. He was a bit nervous about his former sensei's training techniques, but even he knew that Genma Saotome knew his stuff. Once done there, he'll pay a visit to his other sensei Katsuhiko Masaki, a Shinto priest from Okoyama, in southern Japan. Hopefully, he'll further his ward's training there as well.
Later, at school, during lunch…
"We should invite her for lunch," Naru Osaka said to her friend Gurio Umino.
"Why? She's kinda weird you know," Gurio says.
"Well, we should."
And with that, Naru and Gurio go over the Serena, who is sting underneath a lone tree.
"Hi!" Naru says.
Serena looks at the human.
"Would you like to eat lunch with us?"
Serena smiles.
"It would be my pleasure."
After school, Serena went home. Throughout that time, she noticed that she was being followed by Luna, but gave no noticed that she knew of Luna presences. Once she was home, Serena did her required chores, ate dinner, completed her school assignments, helped Sammy Tsukino is his homework, and went to bed. Though Serena does not need sleep to rest, it did give her a chance to ponder her thoughts. That's when she noticed that Luna was on her window sill.
"Hello, Luna," Serena said, without turning her head. "What can I do for you?"
"How did you know who I am?" Luna replied, as she got on Serena.
"That's because I remember you from the Moon Kingdom, old friend."
"We were…friends?"
"Yes. Though, you did tend to run interference between me and Mother."
"Oh."
"So, what brings you by this evening?"
"Um…oh yes! I believe that the enemies of the Moon Kingdom have returned."
Serena frowned.
"Explain."
Luna tells Serena about people who are loosing their life-forces whenever they are purchasing jewelry from a shop near there.
"You must do something about it, Serena. The power of the Moon Kingdom is within you. I sense it."
"I'm sure. After all, I AM the Moon Princess."
"YOU'RE THE MOON PRINCESS!" Luna cried.
Serena winks with a smile.
With that, Serena rose from her bed. With a flash of light, Serena becomes THE SILVER SAILOR MOON!
"Come," Moon says, as she taps one of her metallic left shoulders.
Nervously, Luna hops on Moon's left shoulder, just as Moon leaped out of the window.
The SS Moon flew in the air effortlessly.
"I didn't know you can fly, Serena," Luna said.
"There's a lot I can do, old friend."
Meanwhile, the dark knight himself BATMAN hopped after the herald. There was some irresistible force compelling him to keep an eye on her. He was concerned when he realized that "Serena" was really a herald of Galactus. Though the Silver Sailor Moon has been an ally of Earth's greatest heroes, she was still a dangerous alien entity.
Moon landed in front of the jewelry shop in question. Her spectrum analysis of the place indicated to her that her classmate Naru was being chased by zombie-like people.
"Wait here while I deal with this," Moon replies.
Inside, Naru was being chased.
"Yahhh!"
"It will not matter for you too much longer!" said the demon, also called a youma. It has disguised itself as Naru's mother in order to use the shop to drain people of life energy.
"HOLD!"
Everyone turned to Moon, as she floated in the air.
"What are you supposed to be? A hood ornament?" said the youma.
"I am the Silver Sailor Moon! I am the herald of Galactus, and the champion of Love and Justice. In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!"
"Yeah, right! Fools, go get her!"
The zombies tried to swarm Moon. However, with a mere thought, Moon neutralizes them by over-loading their synaptic patterns.
"Will you surrender peacefully?"
"No!"
And with that the youma fired off dark energy. It lanced Moon's skin, causing a cut.
"Ouch," Moon replied. She had forgotten that magical attacks can cause her some damage. Just as the youma tried to perform a leap attack-
FLICK!
A rose intercepted the youma, causing her to fall.
Moon looks up to see a man dressed as a bat. Then, the man nods, and disappears.
Moon then turned her attention back to the youma. With her right hand in a gun formation, Moon used her cosmically enhanced power to neutralize her foe, permanently.
"Dusted," Moon said simply.
Meanwhile, Batman was sitting on top of the Tokyo Tower. He was perplexed as to why a rose appeared in his hand, and that it had enough effectiveness in stopping the youma. He might have to stay in town a lot longer in order to get his answers.
