"Where are we?" Roger murmured to no one in particular but Setsuna decide to answer any way.
"We are in the Juuban District of Tokyo; this is the apartment I bought to use when I'm not at the Gates or at the school."
"So, Mom, you teleported us here using your abilities correct?" Roger asked rhetorically.
"That is correct… Roger, you should probably get some sleep, I teleported your room here with us it is down the hall on your left." Seeing Roger nod, she continued. "I am not going to start school for a couple of days, because I need to sort everything out in that situation, but you body is going to need to get readjusted to the time difference. We left Azusa's house at about 1 o'clock pm. Well, it is currently about 2 a.m." Setsuna stated quite seriously without given Roger any room to argue the point.
"OK, see you in the morning" and with that Roger went quietly down into his room. Though, he did not plan to go to sleep yet, he was going to think about everything I have been told.
As soon as Setsuna noticed Roger was gone, she collapsed on the couch, took two aspirin from the side table, and took them dry hoping to dull her headache that she had developed over the past couple of hours. 'I probably shouldn't have told Roger everything I did because now he knows more about the situation then the Inner scouts does. Thou, I am not to worried about that, he does not seem on to go off and blow all that has been work on. Nevertheless, when I mentioned Minako, something seemed to clink in his mind; I wonder why.' Setsuna thought to her self.
Flash Back
"Then Sailor Venus came and aided the other scouts. After the fight she told the others her name was Minako, introduce her moon cat Artemis, and that she had just returned from London..." Setsuna notice Roger gasp when she mention Venus's name.
"Minako…" Roger whispered to himself in shock.
"Roger, is anything the matter?" Setsuna asked him, but when she asked the question, he seemed to quickly snap out of his dream like state.
"No… nothing is the matter Mom, please continue."
End of Flash Back
'Something was wrong with the way he acted. It was almost as if he knew her. Heck, she did live in the United States before she moved to London; maybe they knew each other or something. I just wonder how close they were.'
She quickly turned her thoughts to other things. 'Should I tell the outer scouts about Roger? No, they find out about Roger when the time is right.' And with that last thought, Setsuna decided it was time to turn in as she headed towards her room.
Meanwhile Roger was trying to get to sleep but was having difficulty, his body wanted to sleep but his minded was still running. 'I can't believe it that Minako, the girl I used to watch out for on a daily basis, is Sailor Venus, a reincarnated warrior for Justice and Love. Also, that Artemis, the cat I gave her, was actually one of the advisors of the Moon Kingdom; I always knew that cat acted way to human. I could understand always waking me up in time for school, but watching the television and that intelligent look in his eye seemed to give away that he was more then a mere cat.' Roger thought with a sigh.
'I kept in touch with her even when she went to London and later returned to Japan, but she never mentioned any of the Sailor Senshi stuff. I do not want to admit it… but my feelings for her developed while we were separated. I need to find away to protect her, I cannot let her fight those youma alone. Maybe I can … Mom mention something about magic. I will ask her about how to use it in the morning.'
Next Day
Roger slowly turned to the clock on the side of his bed and bolted upright when he noticed that is was close 2:30 pm. 'Why did Mom let me sleep in so late I wanted to ask her some questions.' And with that, he stumbled into the adjoining bathroom to take a shower.
Fifteen minutes later, Roger made his way into the kitchen to get himself something to eat. When he noticed a note with some money attached to and a plate with some rice balls next to it. He turned his attention first towards the note.
Dear Roger,
By the time you get up, I will have gone to work. I left some money with this note so you could go and get something to eat and spend some time keeping yourself entertained at the local arcade, which is only three blocks away. I will be home about 4:30.
Love, Mom
P.S. would you please try my rice balls and tell me how they taste when I get home.
"Well lets taste those rice balls." Roger muttered to himself. Then he reached down picked up a rice ball and decided to take a big bite out of it. Five seconds latter, he was sprinting towards the bathroom and emptying his stomach into the toilet.
A second latter Roger was shouting to no body in particular, "That was the most horrid food ever created, who in their right mind could cook something that vile!"
At Juuban High
"AAAAACCCCCHHHHUUUUU!" 'Somebody must be thinking about me' Setsuna thought right after the sneeze.
Back at the apartment
Noticing the time on the cloak he took noticed that the people from school should have just gotten out of class. 'Might as well go out to that arcade because my appetite has been officially murdered' Roger thought has he made his way towards the door.
Once he reached the arcade, he took notice of the wide variety of games. 'Damn, Mom wasn't kidding when she told me to amuse myself.' Walking through the arcade, he came upon one of his favorite games… Gauntlet. Putting some coins into the slot, he did not notice the party of five that walk in with their two cats.
'It has been a while since I played this game,' thought Roger as his character died to the Lich 'Let's see what else they have here.' Walking through the arcade, he stumbled upon the driving games.
He quickly noticed a blond, with long hired tied at the top with a red ribbon and a white cat at her side. 'That ribbon I gave it to Minako when she left… and if that is Minako fifty dollars… um five thousand yen says that the cat is Artemis.'
Walking over to the game station next to her, "Mind if I race you?" Roger said to Minako, as she was just about to start.
"Sure" she answered with out a second thought.
Roger quickly took notice that Artemis was staring at him. 'That guy seems really familiar, but what is odd is that I remember that sent, but from were.' Artemis thought.
Roger quickly took a seat at the game as the race began. They were both driving with superb skill until Roger decided to side sweep Minako's car and just at the right point in the turn, which caused her car to flip. 'She will definitely remember that move considering how many times I pulled it on her before.'
Meanwhile, as soon as Minako saw that move she knew something was up because she knew only two people that could perform that move, Haraku and my old friend Roger, but he lives in the United States.
"You're still as lousy as driver as you were in sixth grade, Minako." The person stated. That confirmed her thought.
"R-Roger is that really you?" Minako asked.
"Yeah, it's me." Roger said with a smile as he turned towards her. "I see you kept that red ribbon I gave you three years ago," then turning towards the cat. "Artemis my old friend, its good to see I hope Minako hasn't given you too much trouble."
Artemis was about to answer that question when Minako jumped straight into Roger with a hug. "Roger it's been so long and what are you doing here!" she said staring up at him.
"Why don't we go get some ice cream and will answer all of your questions, k?" Once he noticed the nod he continued "But, your going to have to show me were a good parlor is because I just arrived here yesterday." With that, Minako and Artemis led the way out of the arcade, unknown to them that four girls and a cat witnessed the entire thing.
"Did Minako just jump into that guy's arms?" the one with brown hair asked with shocked.
"I believe she did, also they seemed to know each other quiet well." Answered, the one with cobalt blue hair.
"We should follow her, that guy could be trouble." The cat stated.
"Usagi, come on were going to follow Minako." The black haired girl said to the blonde-haired girl on one of the arcade machines.
"But Rei I about to hit the high score, I am only 3000 points away!" Wailed the winy blond on the Sailor V machine.
"Fine, then Usagi but you won't get to see Minako's boyfriend." Rei said hoping to get Usagi's attention. It seemed to work.
"When did Minako get a boyfriend?" stated Usagi with shock.
"Just now, come on lets follow her." Once Rei finished the sentence all the girls plus the cat made their way to the exit in hope of following Minako and the guy.
"Yes can we get two ice cream bowels one with mint chocolate chip and the other with chocolate strawberry?" Then noticing the Artemis lick his lips at the thought of ice cream Roger finished with "and a saucer with a scoop of butter Pecan on it." "So Minako how have you been lately, I hope that those youma that I heard about on the news haven't given you any trouble?" asked Roger has he turned his attention to her.
"Well, things can get pretty bad sometimes … Sailor Senshi take care of the youma." Minako said with a smile.
'It is a shame that such a pretty girl has to fight those monstrosities.' Roger thought
"I have a question, what are the Sailor Senshi, Minako?" 'Finally I can get some answers straight from the source' Roger thought.
She had a look of surprise on her face but that quickly faded. "Since you have been in the U.S. I guess you would not know about them. There a group of girls that have been protecting the population from monster attacks and … Hey I'm trying to answer your question and your not even listing to me!" Minako shouted with some anger in her voice.
"Don't get angry Minako" Roger said quickly hoping to douse her temper quickly. "I just noticed that a group of girls and their black cat were following us once we left the arcade and they are watching the door of the parlor for us to come out."
"Where are they?" Minako murmured hoping to proof her suspicion wrong.
"Right there on the street corner" pointing to the corner slightly to the right of the parlor.
"Ami, Luna, Makato, Rei, and Usagi … I can't believe they followed me." Stated with a bit of anger in her voice. Artemis wanted to say something, but with Roger here, there was little he could do to comfort the girl.
"Why would they…" Roger tried to ask but Minako interrupted.
"Their probably spying on us because they don't know you."
"Oh" Roger said has he paid the bill for the ice cream and waited for Artemis and Minako to finish.
'I can't believe they would follow me, don't they trust me; well I'm going to show them.' Thought Minako quickly finishing her ice cream.
"Would you do me a favor Roger?" seeing him nod Minako grabbed his and pulled him out he door, Artemis in tow. It was then Roger noticed Minako was a beeline for her friends. 'So she wants to due a little payback, I can live with that. But what is she going to do is the question.' Thought Roger with a mental grin.
"Hey girls" Minako quickly said hoping what she was about to do would shock her friends. Seeing them jump was more then enough payback for her.
"Hey Minako, whose this guy next to you?" questioned Usagi.
"O yeah, you haven't met Roger before," Turning to Roger "Roger these are my friends Usagi, Ami, Makato, Rei and Usagi's cat Luna."
"Nice to meet you girls." Said Roger then Minako continued.
"Girls this is Roger, an old friend from the United States." She stated with glee waiting for their reaction. At this, all the girl's mouths dropped to the ground and Roger did his best not to laugh at their faces.
Just then, a scream broke the tension and all the people in the street started to run in the opposite direction. Quickly the heads of five girls, two moon cats, and Roger quickly turned to see a youma advancing on a small child. 'Damn they can't transform with me here so I am going to have to give them some time to get away.'
"I help the kid, while you girls go and get help." The girls looked questionably but they nodded anyway and started looking for a place to hide but Minako lingered behind. Noticing this Roger turned to her. "Don't worry about me all I have to do is stall the creature for your, so called Sailor Senshi to show right."
"… Roger just don't die." With that, Minako started following the other girls.
'Now to give the girls the time they need to transform' Roger started towards the monster, getting a queasy feeling in his stomach, pushing aside the distraction. Nevertheless, when his presence was not noticed by the youma, he threw a rock at its head and it turned to him quickly.
"Impudent human how dare you get in my way!" shouted the youma.
"I will not let allow you to hurt a little kid that is unforgivable." Roger then charged praying that the fierceness of his attacks would shock the youma.
He quickly dodges to the right as the creatures shot a column of boiling water towards him. Then quickly sliding underneath the youma performing a leg sweep, which surprised the youma. Once the youma was down, he yelled at he kid to run away. The kid quickly sprinted off leaving the Roger to fend of the youma.
"You let my pray get away, now you will pay!" Quickly kicking Roger in the stomach, causing him to fall to the ground
'Damn, I am taking this fight to lightly.' Quickly Roger dropped into a fighting stance and delivered a roundhouse kick to the youma's face, along with two punches to its stomach, then finished up with a punch to were, he hoped, the kidneys were. When he was batted away into a wall, knocking the breath out him, he knew he was in trouble.
'Damn it doesn't have internal organs, I am in deep shit.' When he noticed, the youma start to advance on him he knew there was nothing he could do until he got his breath back.
"Stop right there youma, Venus Love-Me Chain!" Shouted a voice then all of a sudden a whip made out of hearts clipped the youma causing a long bloody scratch along the youma's side. Roger then quickly turned his head to see at the end of the street where girls in what Roger Fukus. 'Those must be the sailor scouts, mom was right if you only consider the hair styles you can tell it really was the same girls from before, plus Minako kept the ribbon in her hair that I gave her.'
"Venus, I haven't given my speech yet." Whined Sailor Moon.
"Well deal with it because that things about to get Roger." Stated Sailor Venus.
Then the scouts jumped in between Roger and the youma. "We are the Sailor Senshi and we are not about to let you harm people who protect others." Some how the girls had managed to say the same thing at the same time.
Venus quickly tried another chain attack, but when that was dodge she turned to check on Roger to see how badly he was hurt. While the other scouts engaged the youma. "Roger, are you hurt?" asked Venus.
"I will be fine in a second once I ketch my breath, but could you help me up?" Grabbing hold of her out stretched hand, Roger pulled himself up.
Again Venus asked "You sure your fine?"
"Yeah I will be fine, but you better go help your friends," Roger said turning towards the battle to witness how the Senshi's elemental attacks did little to the enemy.
"I will go help them, but you need to get out of here." With that, Venus jumped in to help her friends and Roger started to get away from the battle. He quickly turned a corner and made his away down one of the alleyways.
"Damn it, I wish there was something I could to help Minako and the other scouts." Roger said with frustration.
"There you are Roger." He quickly turned to see his mother in her wet dream outfit.
"So, you're going to help the Inners with the battle." Stated Roger looking at his mother, (Not in a perverted way) receiving a nod.
"You should transform into your fighting form and go help them. All you have to do is focus hard on that queasy feeling you got in your stomach when you started towards the monster and the rest of it comes by instinct."
With that, Roger started focusing on the feeling he got before and the next thing he knew was dressed in a dark grey robe that covered him completely, also thick pair of black gloves covered his hands, and a pair of thick black boots appeared were his shoes were. In addition, the robe had a hood that covered his face with darkness so nobody could tell it was him. (He basically looked like Marlaxia from the opening scene of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.) "Wow, I feel powerful." Then he turned towards his mother and received the follow me gesturer. His mother jumped to the top of the alleyway and onto the building to his right. Roger quickly did the same and was shocked at the site before him.
The monster was standing with a couple of cuts, scrapes along its side, while the scouts were covered in cuts, and bruises. "Senshi, are you going to be ok?" The girls quickly turned their heads towards the voice, which they recognized.
"Pluto, thank god you're the monster just keeps on healing and there is nothing we can do about it!" Shouted Sailor Jupiter who was in the best condition of the five.
"I will check on the girls while you deal with the monster." Pluto said to Roger.
"Due the attacks work the same way the transformation does?" Receiving a nod as an answer Roger jumped into the battle prepared to win.
"Who are you human?" questioned the youma that was now fully healed.
'Need a cool name, um, um, damn, I'm coming up blank!' "I don't need to give my name to the likes of you."
Roger then focused on that feeling in the pit of his stomach and disappeared. He then appeared in front of the youma. "Dark Strike!" His right glove began glowing an eerie black color, than with a flat strike he pierced through the youma were its heart would be. (Basically, it is the same move Alucard used when he killed the Vicar in Hellsing manga 1.) He quickly jumped away and nodded towards Sailor Moon.
Seeing an opening Sailor Moon shouted "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss" and the blast of energy managed to pierce through the weakened youma's defense.
Mercury look down at her computer, "Oh my!" seeing that she had became the focal point for every one attentions she continued. "That attack was as powerful as the Space Sword Blaster."
All the Inners turned to Roger, and Sailor Venus asked, "You're not an enemy are you?"
But, before Roger could answer, Pluto spoke up. "No, he isn't, I can guarantee that." Turning towards Roger she then said, "Why don't you go home I come and talk to you later."
"OK, see you later." Roger then jumped on the closest roof top and roof hopped all the way home. (He can do this because he hasn't transformed back, hey I figure if the Senshi end up on roofs all the time that have to be able to get up their some how.)
