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, the team faced a mysterious black knight, who killed Dragonclaw and Sailor Venus, and left everyone except for Sailor Moon and Avatar powerless.
EPISODE 3 Final Goodbyes
==Tuesday, 21 July 1987 Sunny Hills General Hospital 2:00 p.m.==
Serena Campbell, Rae Lincoln, Amy Anderson, and Jake Slater could not have been in a more somber mood. Two of their friends, Jerry Mauser and Elizabeth Minako had been killed by a mysterious black knight. Another of their friends, Chris Forney, was looking at a knee replacement, and still another friend, Susan Makoto would more than likely spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. "My mom should be getting off shift right about now," Amy said. "I'll see if she can give Jake and I a ride home."
"If you guys are leaving," Rae said, "mind if I tag along?"
"Sure," Amy said. "How about you, Serena? You want a ride home?"
"I think I'll stick around here for a while," Serena said. "If anything happens, I'll give you guys a call."
==ten minutes later, Jake and Amy's house==
As soon as they got home, Jake went to his room without talking to anyone, and locked the door behind him. "What's eating him?" Ashleigh Slater asked.
"Two of his friends were killed today," Pam said.
"Oh," Ashleigh said.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Jake went to the one person in the house he cared to have any contact with at the moment. "Come in," Amy said.
Jake sat next to Amy on the bed and put an arm around her shoulders. "I can't believe they're gone," he said.
"It's not (expletive) fair," Amy said, burying her face in Jake's chest and crying for several minutes.
==Friday, 24 July 1987 First Presbyterian Church, St. Gertrude City, CA 11:00 a.m.==
Jake Slater always liked churches, a trait he attributed to being the grandson of a minister. There was one service he, for some reason, didn't like. Funerals. Even though almost all of the funerals he had attended were more celebration of the life of the deceased and not reminders of death, there was one fact about them that bothered him: it would be the last time anyone would ever see the deceased. Jake plain hated funerals.
Especially when the deceased were his friends, as was the case. Jerry Mauser and Elizabeth Minako were killed in battle three days earlier, killed fighting a mysterious black knight.
A lot of things were weighing on Jake's mind, especially one that, under any other circumstances, would have been the happiest news he had heard in a few weeks. Only an hour before Elizabeth was killed, her mother learned that she was expecting a child. The death of Elizabeth made the news bittersweet.
Meanwhile, the entire Malvern High varsity football team entered the chruch, led by their coach, Brad Powers, who was carrying a football. Jake wondered to himself why coach Powers would bring a football.
During the service, he found out why. After the minister led the prayers and said a few words about the deceased, and the eulogies were said, the minister asked if anyone wanted to say anything about the deceased. Coach Powers got up. "Gerald Mauser was a born leader," he said. "The kind of guy who always gave it his all, and expected the same of his teammates, whether on the football field, or, as a superhero, on the field of battle. He was also the type of guy who you could always count on to come trrough in the clutch, whether on or off the field. A perfect example of what he was made of would be our game against Bastanchury High last year. Jerry spearheaded a defense that, for the first time in school history, held our opponents to a total of minus 6 total yards offense. Overall, they lost six more yards than they gained. The way he had the defense pumped up that night, Bastanchury didn't stand a chance. That's the kind of person he was. Some of you are probably wondering why I have a football in my hands. This ball," he said, holding up the football, "was the game ball from the Bastanchury game last year. It is my honor to give this ball to the one person who truly deserves it." With that, he placed the ball in Jerry's casket, and wrapped Jerry's arm around the ball.
"Does anybody else have anything to say?" the minister asked.
"I'd like to say something," Jake said. "Jerry Mauser and Elizabeth Minako are two of the best friends anyone can have. The first impression I had of Jerry when I first met him was that he seemed to be the kind of guy who would put on a shirt just so he could give it to you off his back. And if I was having a bad day, Elizabeth would always manage to cheer me up with a joke. More often than not it was a bad joke, but it was always funny at the time. That's pretty much all I have to say."
A few more people stood up and talked about Jerry and Elizabeth, and the minister said a final prayer, and the service ended, and everyone got up to leave for the burial. Jake handed Chris his crutches, and pushed Susan in her wheelchair outside, and into the special wheelchair accessible limo that the surviving team members would be riding in.
==epilog==
==Tuesday, 18 August, 1987 Susan Makoto's house 10:30 a.m.==
"Come on, let me take this blindfold off," Susan said, as Jake wheeled her into the house.
"Nope," Serena said, following them. "It'll ruin the surprise."
Jake wheeled Susan into the kitchen and stood back. "You can take it off now," he said.
Susan took the blindfold off, and was astonished at what she saw. Her parents had added on to their kitchen an area which was wheelchair accessible, with lowered counters, a sink, and cupboards, and space under the counters to fit a wheelchair underneath. "When did you do this?" she asked.
"While you were in the hospital," her mom said. "We knew how much you like to cook, so we had it put in for you."
