Part 7: "Charlie"
Cherry Hill Temple: Tokyo, Japan (Juuban District).
After weeks of training, after weeks of dealing with the machinations of Queen Beryl and the Negaverse, Usagi ("Sailor Moon") Tsukino was ready.
"Usagi?"
Usagi turns to her "sensei", Ranma Saotome, who has his backpack on hand.
"Yes, Ranma?"
"Here," Ranma says, as he opens his pack. "My Mom made it for you."
What Nodoka made for Usagi, was the costume once war by "Bucky", the sidekick of the legendary Captain America. It had white pants (with black strips going done the length on the side), a blue, high-collar aviator's jacket (black trim), red ankle length boots, red gloves and blue eye mask.
"Th-thanks, Ranma," Usagi said.
"Aw, don't mention it," Ranma replies. "You earned it."
Usagi nodded. And now, she is willing to put it to good use…
Point D, Arctic Circle, a day later.
"Bucky" wore her hooded, snow parka (white), as she trudged through the snow. She didn't want to bring in the Sailor Scouts for this mission, especially since such an obvious assault would attract undue attention. At least, that's what Mr. James ("Wolverine") Logan had said during her training in Nerima.
At any rate, Bucky wanted to be the one to go after Malachite for turning Steve Rogers, aka "Captain America", into Beryl's pawn.
Bucky had traveled, on her own, to the Arctic region, using the free boarding pass she had taken from Firestar's room at her home. All everyone knew, with the exception of Ranma himself, was that she was going to spend the weekend in Nerima for training. Since Bucky has done so before, no one would be the wiser. So, she took a direct flight from Japan to Alaska, and then paid a bush pilot to transport her as far into the Arctic region as possible. Using what's left of her savings, Bucky then acquired some supplies and a pack, and trudged forward. Her destination was not far from the North Pole, so it took her hours. Thankfully, the Super-Soldier serum in her blood stream, as well as her training, made it possible for her to go on her trek. Whether or not she will survive, is anybody's guess. All Bucky knew was that she was going to stop Queen Beryl and save her "Uncle" Steve, one way or another.
The snow becomes a heavy drift, but that does not deter Bucky. Slowly, she wills herself to overcome the obstacle…
…And finds herself in some ruins of some kind.
Bucky takes a look at things, and is shocked to see the Earth where the Moon should be.
"My daughter Serena, welcome."
Bucky turns to a see an adult version of herself, by about five years. Even her silvery hair was made up like hers.
"What did you say?" Bucky says, as she broke out her shield that was strapped on her back, before getting into a fighting stance.
"I said welcome. You are not in danger here."
Bucky calmed down a bit.
"Okay, I'm listening."
"You know that you are Princess Serena."
"That I do know. You told me that you sent the others and into the future after the Negaverse attacked. I KNOW all this."
"Yes, that much you know. But what you do not know, was the Prince of the Sun Kingdom was an ally of the Earth and Moon Kingdoms, and that he, Prince Stephen was your father."
An image of a knight dressed in Gold Armor is fighting off a horde of minions at the side of the Earth Prince, with a shield eerily similar to the one that Bucky had.
"Prince Stephen was, perhaps, the only noble who truly believed that both noble and commoners should be considered equal in the eyes of the law. Some thought that he was a naïve fool, but few dared to challenge him on the field of battle. It was that quality that attracted me to him. Unfortunately, due to the political climate of the times, we had to use a Seelie-style wedding to consummate properly."
"'SEELIE-style'?"
"Yes. It's a little known wedding amongst the Fae that allows nobles to be married for only one lunar year, or thirteen months. As 'Queen', it was my right to invoke that ritual."
"But what does this have to do with me?"
"Prince Stephen was sent into the future, along with you and the others."
The image of the Solar Knight changes to-
"CAPTAIN AMERICA? He's my true father?"
"Indeed he is."
Bucky was speechless at the idea that Steve Rogers' past incarnation was her father. Ever since Steve had become "Captain Negaverse", Bucky was torn. Could she have the strength to stop him?
"Tell me, what can I do to save my…father?"
"You must defeat Queen Beryl once and for all. Only then will things become normal."
Queen Serenity goes to hug her wayward daughter.
"I have faith in you, my precious child…"
Everything fades into white.
"Usagi? USAGI!"
Bucky wakes up. Apparently, she has been lying in the snow for a while now. She looked up to see Ranma, who was being accompanied by his "un-cute fiancé" Akane Tendo. In fact, the rest of the so-called "Nerima Wrecking Crew were also present. Ukyo had even brought her army of "ninjas" with her, though it was strange to see them carrying "combat" spatulas.
There was the rest of the Sailor Scouts, including the Moon Guardians Luna and Artimis.
Finally, there was Justice and Firestar, as well as Wolverine (who was smoking his cigars).
"Wha-what's going on?" Bucky asked, as she got up.
"Well, someone told us that you were in trouble, and that you would need help," Ranma says. "And the Sailor Scouts were nice enough to teleport us to your location."
"Ranma, can we hurry up?" Akane complained, as she shivered. "It's kinda cold, you know."
"Usagi, you shouldn't go at things alone," Sailor Mercury says.
"Yes, you shouldn't," Firestar says, as she was careful not to melt the ice sheet that the group was on.
"We would have helped, you know," Justice says.
Wolverine nods, as he observes the scene.
Bucky looks over at the group, and smiles.
"Then, I guess, I should be part of the team, then," Bucky says, as she takes out her "henshin" rod. The ornament was a symbol of the Moon. "Moon Prism MAKE-UP!"
FLASH!
After changing into her traditional Sailor fuku, and after Akane bopped Ranma on the head for thinking that he was being a pervert, Sailor Moon adjusted Captain America's shield on her arm.
"Let's do this."
Fin.
