Serena sat on her bed, not wanting to go to work in fear of an attack again.
"Serena I know you are scared but you have to face the world, the good and the bad." Luna said, looking up at her future queen.
"I know that Luna!" Serena growled. "It's just that, I'm scared of the new bad guys picking us off one by one. It seems like they know where we live and everything. It's creepy you know."
"I understand, but it's more important for you to keep living your life as normally as possible and keep an eye open so you could save the people who are being attacked." Luna scolded.
Serena sighed and got up to get dressed.
Caleb was walking around in happiness, Stephen just accepted the proposal of teaming up. Right now Caleb was searching for Specials, they've decided to hone in on them. They seemed a lot more stonger than humans. Walking by the arcade, he spotted a beautiful girl with long blond hair done up in buns, simmilar to Vanessa's. He's always liked that little kid's style.
Walking in he felt drawn to the girl, despite the heavy feeling of Specails in the air. Walking up to her, he blurted out the first thing that wouldn't have come up ever since his transformation.
"What's your sign?" he asked catching her eyes with his.
Serena blinked a few times before the feeling of confusion left her.
"Your zodiac sign." he smiled.
"Cancer, why?" Serena asked, her eyes started to scrutinize the guy before her.
His eyes went blank, he quickly chanted something and looked back into Serena's eyes, "You will save the soul of a stranger this week. Thursday, to be precise." he looked at her strangely before walking out.
"Who was that?" Dean asked, looking at Serena then at the man leaving.
"I don't know, but that was beyond weird." Serena said, shaking her head.
Amy was walking home from the pool, when a man she didn't know blocked her path.
"Hello grandaughter of Hermes." he smirked.
Amy clutched her change bag and stared nervously up at the man. He transformed into a scorpian monster before Amy could run. Amy gasped and went to grab her transformation stick but the moster hit the stick away with it's tail.
"Now now, I don't want you to use any of your powers before I get to steal them." he tutted.
"I have no clue what you are talking about." Amy said with as little fear as she could hide.
"It doesn't matter, you are the grandaughter of the god Hermes whether you know it or not. And to add to your excitingly short life, I get to take your scource." he smiled, his six beaty eyes gleaming in the street light.
Amy yelped and threw her bag at the moster and tried to run away, only to be caught by his whip.
"No!" Amy screamed.
"Stop right there on behalf of the planet Neptune. You star monsters have gone far enough with your plans on taking the lives of others." Sailor Neptune said, standing proudly in the light of a street lamp.
The monster just stood there holding onto the wriggiling end of a whip smiling. He spun Amy into his arms and pointed his stinger at Amy's throat.
"Whatever you say or do won't change the fact that this girl will die." he said, his tail's stinger inching it's way toward Amy who held by the monster's whip.
Neptune gasped then bit her lip. 'Why hadn't Uranus come?' she cried out to herself.
"Now either step down and leave, or you could stay and watch her death." the monster said, chuckling as he listened to Amy's whimpers of terror.
"Submarine Reflection!" Neptune yelled, hoping to find a weakness. Nothing came up.
"Is that all you can do?" he asked, as he started to take Amy's life source which made Amy glow a deathly eerie glow.
'What can I do? I know for a fact he's getting stronger by the minuet, and will probably kill Amy if I make a move. But I can't just let her die!' Neptune said angrily.
"Take me instead." Neptune said, and was shocked to hear her own voice.
Amy's eyes went wider for the fear of her friend.
"What!" The monster sounded off gaurd.
"Take me, how do you know she has any power at all? I'm obviously powerful since I'm a Sailor Scout." Neptune said, with no fear.
He looked at Neptune then at the cowering Amy. He growled, and let Amy drop. He used his whip on Neptune who countered it by using one of her water attacks.
The monster growled, in anger and whipped his tail at Amy.
"No!" Neptune screamed seeing the stinger hit Amy in the leg.
"Now look," he said angrily. "I wasted a prefectly good life because of you."
"You bastered!" Neptune swore, running at the monster.
He blinked out before she reached him. Neptune walked toward Amy who was already paleing and in a cold sweat. She picked her up and walked to a clinic as fast as she could.
"I knew it, I knew it." Serena said repeativly while she paced in the waiting room. Darien trying to catch her to calm her down.
"Maybe I shouldn't go back to America so soon." he said, watching his worried Serena fight off her fear.
"Maybe." Lita said, biting her lip.
"Serena, calm down please. We know Amy is stable now." Raye said, holding Serena in place.
"But I knew this was going to happen." Serena sniffed.
"It could've been an accident." Mina said. "A random pick."
"I'm afraid not," Michelle said walking in with Haruka, Hotaru, and Arianna. "He seemed very specific about Amy."
"No!" Serena wailed. Darien took this chance to wrap his arms around her.
Arianna stood there thinking up a plan to just make all the pain, she practically caused, go away.
"We just have keep our gaurd up." Hotaru said, watching everyone worry.
"Has Luna or Artemis found where they may be?" Haruka asked Mina.
"They're too quick to get a reading on them, so no." Mina answered ringing a hankercheif in nervousness.
Ruka sighed heavily in response.
"I think now's a good time to start practicing against me." Ari sighed, looking not pleased with her desiscion.
The scouts looked at the girl.
"What do you mean?" Darien asked.
"Well, if you didn't know. These monsters have simmilar strengths as me, since they were bestode some of my power five years ago. I have already beat Neptune and Uranus, out of fault of course, to see how strong I was against them.
"Well I might as well take all of you on, hoping it will strengthen ourselves."
"Ari, you don't have to do that, we just have to make a better plan." Lita said, putting her hand on the child's shoulder.
"I instist, I belive Sora now. Despite reciving four new scouts, I think it would better for you all to practice with me." Ari said, staring meaningfully at all of them.
Serena sniffled, "If that's what you think, we'll oblige." she said, looking a bit better.
Darien looked doubtfully at the girl, before sitting down with Serena.
"How could you!" Vanessa screamed.
"Ness, what are you talking about?" Stephen asked.
"You teamed up with that Fag, Caleb. How could you?" she screamed again.
"It seemed like a good idea at the time." he answered. "Caleb is smart. He'll help, despite being a naive boy. It'll be easy."
Vanessa narrowed her eyes at her crush, while he just sat there looking at her.
"I swear, if you don't destroy him to be closer to me, we're through. I mean it Stephen." she hissed.
"I really don't belive you've ever been this homophobic before Ness." Stephen commented, ignoring the threat of breaking up something that really was never there.
"Well no basterd came close to someone I loved so much." she said, her voice cracking.
Stephen sighed. "I'll do something, alright?"
"You better." she said still with warning in her voice, before leaving in a whirl wind of fire.
Amy was released from the hospital the next day, and was instructed to get lots of rest and to take her prescribed drugs for the sting.
Darien took this time of slight peace, to take up Ari's offer.
Ari looked at Serena's boyfriend as he stood on a rock. They were at one of the larger secluded national parks, where Darien drove the both of them.
"So before we begin and I have the chance of getting my butt kicked. Who and what are you suppose to be?" Ari said, rudness dripping off her words.
Darien chuckled, "I would ask you the same question, but you asked first. I am the gaurdian of the earth and I will become the future king of earth." he said skipping over the part that he'd be ruling the solar system along side Serena.
"Cool," Ari said, sounding impressed. "I'm the gaurdian of the Sun; half god, half first emortal of the cosmos. But I have no clue what I'm becoming in the future." she said.
Darien looked at Ari with the same scrutany he had saved for each occasion he'd met her.
"Why does it look like you don't belive me?" Ari asked, as she started to stretch.
"It's just that you're different than all the other scouts." Darien said, looking down at the small child.
"Should I take that as a compliment?" Ari laughed. "Anyway your feelings toward me may be that way because I was raised a lot differently than the other girls. I was taken from my home at age nine, endured evils, and well I've just never had a real home since then."
Darien was taken aback from the words that came out of this normal looking girl.
"So, what's up with your closed doors? I mean, you seem distant from everyone else. I may have lived in solitude for the last five years but I really don't think people are supose to be that up tight." she said, now contemplating if she should transform now.
"I have my reasons." Darien said, now locking eyes with the fourteen year old girl.
She smiled and took that as a sign to transformed into the true ruler of light.
"I guess I'm going to have to fight them out of you then." she smiled brighter.
"You can try." Darien said, transforming into Tuxedo Mask.
"The word 'try' is not in my vocabulary." she smirked, taking out her arrows.
Caleb sat down with Stephen.
"Steph..." Caleb started to say, ringing his hands nervously.
"What?" Stephen asked trying not to sound upset.
"I've been having these weird feelings." Caleb said.
Stephen looked at him, "Do I want to know what these feelings are about?"
"Maybe..." Caleb said before launching into the explanation of his fears. "These feelings are giving me the idea of what we are doing is either wrong or we could be doing it better."
Stephen relaxed, "What do you mean?"
"Well I've been having these dreams for two nights now about the child we're after. She's an adult with kids, and a kingdom. It's like we shouldn't mess with that balance, but at the same time it seems like that is where we have to go to get the girl. When she is most vulnerable with little on her mind except her family." Caleb said.
Stephen raised an eyebrow in fasicnation but had a look of confusion on his face.
Vanessa looked from the shadows angrily at the two men. Why hadn't Caleb mention his dreams to the group? Despite the hatred she burns for him, she thought he should be loyal to the team. Stephen better clue her in later, or else he'd be picking his charcoal bones off the pavement.
"Ready to tell?" Sailor Sun smiled, her power arrow aimed at Tuxedo Mask's face.
"Fine." he growled and fell backwards, letting the arrow fly without hitting anyone. Tuxedo Mask transformed back to Darien who let out the story of losing his parents and the constant feeling of losing his Serena.
"So, how come Serena is so special to you. I mean you're like six years older than her."
"Four." Darien corrected. "Serena just has this energy about her."
"I really think that's the sugar... but please continue." Ari laughed.
Darien laughed, "We've been through a lot, espeically on losing each other. The nice thing is that we always find each other after."
"I see." Ari sighed. "It'd be nice finding a relationship like yours."
Darien smiled.
"Want to start on the picnic?" Ari asked getting up and dusting herself off. "I haven't been on a picnic for so long." she mentioned.
"Sure." Darien said, getting up as well. "I remember having a lot of picnics with Reeny and Serena."
Ari stopped abruptly and looked up at Darien, "Reeny?"
"Serena and my future child." Darien explained, getting a weird look from Ari.
"That little pink haired br-- beautiful kid?" Ari said, kicking herself for still disliking the girl.
Darien cocked his head to one side, "How come it seems you dislike Reeny?" he inquired.
"No real reason." Ari said, then turned around to face Darien again. "It's just that: Pluto was like a second mother to me, and Reeny kept on barging in. It's not just that either, but whenever she came it's like she was hiding, and not showing her true self." Ari said.
Darien looked thoughtful. "That's what Serena was saying when they first met."
"Well that's going to be a fun converstaion when I fight her." Ari laughed.
"I think we have a power we don't know about." Vanessa said, to the rest of the group.
"What do you mean?" Alexandra and Alexis said in unision.
"Where's Stephen and Caleb?" Lindsay asked.
"Around." Vanessa said. "Anyway, the power is either fortune telling or playing with time."
"How do you know this Vanessa?" Darius asked.
"I over heard a conversation--" she was cut off.
"I feel we can do this. I've been having dreams about the future, like way into the future about this kingdom called Crystal Tokyo." Ty said interupted the little blond child.
"See, that's what I mean. Caleb's been having dreams too." Vanessa explained.
"Okay fine. But how will we do this?" Darius asked.
"Leave it to us!" the twins said.
"I want in too. Libra's are good idea people." Lindsay said.
The twins looked at each other before shrugging.
"Thanks." Vanessa said.
'Those three dimwits don't even know about our powers.' Victor growled to himself. He was always one step ahead of everyone. One of the better things of being the protector of the virgin god was his mind was never clouded with other ideas. As well as he was the most evilest in the group, and knew the soverign was not to be trusted.
Serena was ferious at Darien and Arianna the next day, after finding out where Darien was all day.
"You cannot take one of us and fight alone like that again!" she said warningly to Arianna.
"Serena calm down, I thought it was a great expericance and all of you girls should follow the example." Darien said.
The people in the arcade tried to ignore the argument.
Dean leaned into Ari's ear, "Wow, what did you do? Kiss him or something?" he whispered.
"Go away." Ari growled.
"Hi guys!" Stary's happy voice came from behind them.
"You out." Ari turned on her friend.
"But.." Stary looked hurt and confused.
"Leave now." Ari stared down Star. "It's a shame that I have to share a room with one Catty person, but two is just too much." she accented the word Catty.
Stary looked at Dean with confusion, not knowing that the group knew she was a cat and not a human.
"Okay..." Stary turned around and walked out of the arcade.
"Ari that was rude." Serena turned on Arianna again. "You should not do that to your friends not matter what. You should really smarten up."
"You should have given her that lecture two nights ago." Dean laughed and went to hide in the back room.
Serena sighed, the stress of an abnormal life was getting to her.
Stary ran back into the arcade.
"Someone want to go outside to break up a firery argument?" she said in a stressed tone to the group.
The group looked very confused, until they saw Sailor Jupiter and Venus fly past the front windows. They ran outside and quickly transformed.
"You didn't kill him!" a lioness monster looking simmilar to Vanessa Lions screamed at the scorpio thing that attacked Amy.
"Why should I?" Scorpio asked.
"Well first of all it'll show that you love me!" she screamed, fire balls formed in her hands.
The scouts looked at the situation, the two monsters were fighting over the man who talked to Serena the other day. The wierd thing was two monsters fighting over a civilian was not a normal occurance.
"Stop this madness! I'm am pretty Sailor Soldier Sailor Moon, and I am here to punish you."
The lioness turned around and shot a hot flash of air at them.
"We've already heard Aphrodite's and Zeus' intros, so you can shut your mouth." the lioness called out, to the scouts who were getting up.
"Leo, just calm down. Cancer's idea right now is more important than your crush on me." Scorpio said, useing their monster names.
"I see how it is." Leo growled, her claws extened. She unleashed her strongest fire attack on Scorpio. The heat reached the scouts and crisped Scorpio black. His body vanished, and his star seed blinked out.
The scouts were all open mouthed.
"Now it's your turn." she turned on the man who was named Cancer.
The scouts looked at each other.
"Should we let this continue?" Venus asked Sailor Moon in a confused way.
"Uh..." Serena turned to Tuxedo Mask, who looked just as astonished as the others.
"If they're going to murder each other like that, I vote to let them continue if they're that stupid." Sailor Sun said.
"I'm going to have to agree with the pipsqueak." Courage said.
"But, I can't let any killing to go on. It's my destany to protect everyone and give them a chance." Sailor Moon said, taking out her tial.
"I know Sailor Moon, but I think we should kill the lion one. Just because she's the one doing damage." Sailor Jupiter offered.
"Alright." Sailor Moon said, making a detrimid face.
"Let's combine our powers just to be on the safe side." Sailor Sun said.
"Okay. Silver moon power..Kiss."
"Jupiter Oak..Revolution."
"Venus love and beauty...Shock."
"Sun Fireballs..Charge."
"Courage Lion's.. Roar."
The colourful attacks sped it's way toward Leo.
Leo turned around her eyes widened slightly, but just before the hit she threw a fireball at Caleb and dispeared in a explosion of fire.
The Sailor Scouts blinked, before noticing Caleb half burned on the road. They ran to him to make sure he was alright.
"Thanks." he half heartly smiled up at them.
"This doesn't look very good." Jupiter said under her breath.
"I may be able to help with those wounds." Sailor Moon said, holding her tial.
He sighed.
"That may not be a good idea Sailor Moon." Tuxedo Mask said.
"How bad could he be being attacked by those monsters?" Sailor Moon asked everyone.
"Very," he gasped a laugh. "but I've always felt I was doing wrong. Like their was no point on being evil." he said quietly.
"See!" Sailor Moon said, looking down in concern for this man.
Everyone looked away. Sailor Moon took this chance to use her power.
"Starlight Honeymoon Tharepy Kiss." Sailor Moon said.
Caleb's attire flickered into a outfit like Sailor Yang, but as soon as that happened Caleb disapeared leaving his star seed behind. The Sailors and Tuxedo Mask looked at the floating seed of life in astonishment. Caleb's sailor scout shadow appeared in front of them.
"I knew Sailor Moon could do it. Thank-you for freeing me from the Dark Sovriegn." the shadow said. "I know this is not much but before I leave, I must tell you a prediction of the future: darkness will come, and the little ones will give you the light." his shadowed spirit disapeared with his star seed.
"Okay then." Lita said, staring at the now empty spot.
"Yeah... well I better go before someone yells at me for leaving when Serena is gone." Courage said and transformed to normal before running back to the arcade.
