Sailor Moon-American Senshi by Eugol Dlareg
RETURN OF THE SOVERIGN PROTECTORATE
I do not own any of the main characters in this story except for Gilded Rose. They are owned by someone in Japan. However, with the exception of Serena Campbell and Amy Anderson, I do own the Americanized names of the characters, as well as many of the supporting characters and villians. To make things easy, we'll just say that anything that has appeared in the manga or anime version of Sailor Moon is owned by someone in Japan, most likely Toei or Naoko Takeuchi.
In our last story, Jake's uncle and aunt moved to Sunny Hills, and Chris revealed a prophetic dream he had involving Jake's cousins.
EPISODE 2 the End of the Sailor Soldiers

"I don't know why, but I think there's something about your cousins," Chris Forney said.
"What do you mean?" Jake asked.
"It's this dream I had last night," Chris explained. "I dreamt that we had a battle with a black knight. Everything went black for a second, and when I awoke, I was in church, and at the front were two caskets. Don't ask me how I knew, but two of our teammates were in the caskets. It was a funeral for two of our teammates. Don't worry, you weren't in either casket. In fact, you were the only other person in the whole church I could see clearly. Everyone else was a blur. I remember seeing you because as we were getting up at the end of the service, you handed me a pair of crutches, and were pushing someone in a wheelchair. As we left the church, I caught a brief glimpse of two Sailor Soldiers yet they were one."
"One, what do you mean by two yet one?" Jake asked. "And two, where do Charlotte and Savannah fit into all this?"
"Well," Chris said, "by two yet one, I mean they were conjoined twins. As for where your cousins fit in to all this, I caught only a brief glimpse, but enough to burn their faces into my memory. Their faces are those of Charlotte and Savannah."
"It all makes sense now," Jake said.
"What makes sense?" Chris asked.
"I heard this voice in my dreams last night," Jake said. "The voice told me I would soon fulfill my destiny. When I saw Charlotte and Savannah this morning, I somehow knew they would be part of my destiny."
"I want you to promise me something," Chris said. "I want you to keep this between us. I'm afraid if anyone else finds out about this, something very bad will happen."
"Worse than your dream?" Jake asked.
"Much worse," Chris said. "Even if we keep this to ourselves, I have a feeling that it's going to happen soon."
"That explains why Rini left yesterday," Jake said.
"Rini's back in her own time?" Chris asked.
"Yeah," Jake said. "She got a message from the future saying that she was to return to the future right away. She didn't even get a chance to say goodbye. Rae and I just happened to be there when she got the message."
"Good," Chris said. "With her back in her own time, that's one less thing we have to worry about when the time comes."
==Tuesday, 21 July, 1987 Hillcrest Park, 10:15 a.m.==
Jerry Mauser finished his stretching and was about to begin his morning run. He had discovered distance running a couple of months earlier, and had already informed the football coach that he wasn't going to be on the team when school resumed in September, instead he was going to go out for cross-country. The fact that he was becoming burnt out from football made his decision easier.
Jerry had only ran a quarter mile when he saw the black knight standing in the middle of the trail. The black knight was pointing a sword at Jerry, and when Jerry stopped, the point of the blade was a fraction of inches from his throat. Jerry stepped to his left to go around the knight, the knight stepped to his right. "Excuse me," Jerry said. "I'd like to get by here, if you don't mind."
"I most certainly do mind," the black knight said. "You are not going anywhere, except to your death."
Jerry reached for his transformation medallion, but it wasn't where he kept it. "Crap," he said. "I hope I didn't drop it back there."
"Looking for something?" the black knight said, holding Jerry's transformation medallion, before crushing it to powder. He threw a hard punch that Jerry barely managed to evade, ducking and rolling out of the way.
"Powers or no powers, I don't think I can handle this guy by myself," Jerry said to himself, pressing the mayday button on his communicator, sending a signal to his teammates that he is in serious need of help. He barely managed to press the button before the black knight cut his arm off at the elbow.
"I was going to be merciful and kill you quick," the black knight said. "But now that you cheated and called your friends, I think I'll take my time and enjoy your death."
"Bring it on," Jerry said. Even with no powers and only one hand, Jerry Mauser still had fight left in him. He found a small tree branch the size of a baseball bat, and picked it up. It wasn't much, Jerry thought to himself, but it might give him enough of an advantage to actually survive until his friends showed up. The branch lasted about two seconds, the black knight's sword going through it like a hot knife through butter. In desperation, he tried kicking his opponent in the crotch, only to painfully discover that the knight was wearing a codpiece made of a metal that is harder than diamonds. At that moment, he noticed what appeared to be a chink in the knight's armor, on the outside of his left knee. He took a shot at it with his good foot, unfortunately, the knight grabbed his ankle, and threw him on his back, placing his foot across Jerry's throat.
"I hate to admit it, but I have to give you credit," the black knight said, as Jerry managed to spit on his visor. "A fighter to the very end. It's a shame that I gotta kill you. Hell, I'd even carve on your tombstone that you died with honor." The black knight drove his sword through Jerry just as the rest of the team arrived.
"NOOOOOO!" Sailor Venus yelled, rushing towards the black knight. "You killed him!"
"He died with honor," the black knight said. "Perhaps you'd like to join him."
"Venus Love-Me Chain!" Sailor Venus yelled, whipping her chain at the black knight, who grabbed the chain and yanked it, pulling Venus towards him. When she was within reach, he grabbed her by the throat and punched her in the face, breaking her nose, and nearly shattering her jaw. He kept his grip on her throat, not applying any pressure, instead siphoning off her powers. When he had siphoned off all her powers, and she reverted to Elizabeth Minako, he threw her to the ground, and kicked her hard in the chest.
"Sailor Moon," Avatar said. "Teleport her to Sunny Hills General!"
"I'm on it," Sailor Moon said, as she and Elizabeth disappeared.
Meanwhile, Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter tried for a dual attack, but the black knight was ready for them. Sailor Mars was caught in an armlock, yet managed to escape, but not without injury, as she broke her arm. "I'm sorry," she said as she teleported to the hospital to get medical attention for her arm.
"You did what you could," Avatar said.
Meanwhile, the black knight had picked up Sailor Jupiter, and delivered a brutal backbreaker across his knee, snapping her spine at the waist. Avatar thought the sound of her spine snapping was the most sickening sound he had ever heard. As he dropped her to the ground, she reverted back to Susan Makoto.
"Let me at him," Gilded Rose said, rushing the black knight, who countered by kicking him hard in the knee, shattering it. The pain caused him to revert back to Chris Forney, as well as pass out.
Avatar rushed to attack the black knight, just as Sailor Mars returned, her right arm in a cast and sling. "Another time, another place," the black knight said, disappearing in a cloud of black smoke, but not without leaving parting gifts for Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury, in the form of siphoning off their powers, causing them to revert back to Rae Lincoln and Amy Anderson, respectively.
"Who was that guy?" Rae asked.
"I have a feeling we'll find out someday," Amy answered.
"And I have a feeling it'll be on his terms," Avatar said, as he powered down, just as emergency crews arrived.
"I forgot to mention," Rae said, "when I was at the hospital, I told them to send paramedics here. I figured this guy we fought wouldn't let us off that easy."
==epilog==
==Sunny Hills General Hospital, later that afternoon==
The mood in the waiting room of the emergency room was somber, Jerry Mauser having been pronoumced DOA. Jake, Rae, Amy, Serena, along with the parents of Jerry, Elizabeth, Chris, and Susan were waiting to see the prognoses of the injured members of the team. The first doctor to approach the group was the one treating Chris. "Mr. and Mrs. Forney," he said, pulling them aside. "Your son is resting right now, and we have him sedated to ease the pain. We were able to save the leg, but he's going to need a knee replacement."
"How soon can you do the operation?" Patrick Forney asked.
"We need to give the tendons some time to heal," the doctor said. "At least a couple of months."
The doctor treating Elizabeth came out next, and the look on his face spoke more clearly than words what he was about to say. "I'm truly sorry," the doctor said, after he pulled Elizabeth's parents aside. "We did everything we could, but her injuries were too severe." That was the one thing the doctor hated, telling parents that their child had died. But it was part of his job.It still didn't make it any easier.
Ninety minutes later, the doctor treating Susan came out. "Mr. and Mrs. Makoto," he said, pulling them aside. "Your daughter made it through surgery, and she is going to live. However, she suffered a severe injury to the lower spine, and I'm afraid there's a 75% chance she will be permanently paralyzed from the waist down. You can go see her for a few minutes, but she will need her rest."
Mr. Makoto looked at Jake, Rae, Amy, and Serena, as if to ask them to come in and see their friend. "We'll wait out here," Jake said.
"Mom, dad," Susan said weakly, as her parents came into the room. "I'm never going to walk again, am I?"
"The doctor said there might be a chance you may walk again," Mr. Makoto said.
"I'm not going to sweat it," Susan said. "As long as I can still whip up a mean batch of blueberry muffins, I won't let a little thing like being in a wheelchair get me down. Just do me one favor. Tell Jake when he sees that black knight, to give him one for me," she said, as she fell asleep.
