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 said goodbye to Jerry Mauser and Elizabeth Minako.
EPISODE 4 Soverign Protectorate Reborn
==prolog==
==Wedendsay, 22 July, 1987 Sunny Hills General Hospital 11:30 a.m.==
"Hey Chris, you wanted to talk to me?" Jake Slater asked as he entered Chris Forney's room.
"I actually wanted to give you something," Chris said, handing Jake a gold rose. "I transferred the Gilded Rose powers to this rose. I want you to give it to someone who can actually do some good with it."
"What are you talking about?" Jake asked. "I wouldn't have given the powers to you if I didn't think you could cut it."
"That was before someone completely destroyed my knee," Chris said. "I'm going to need it replaced. I'd rather someone have the power that isn't laid up."
"Point taken," Jake said, taking the rose. "Hopefully, if you're ever up to it, maybe you can take the power back."
"What are you talking about?" Chris asked.
"Even though someone else might be using the power," Jake explained, "it's still linked to me. I have some control over who uses it."
==Friday, 21 August 1987 Jake Slater's house 9:00 p.m.==
Jake Slater and Amy Anderson were watching a movie on tv, Jake nearly falling asleep on the couch. Suddenly, he sat bolt upright, wide awake. "I'll be back in a few minutes," he said, transforming to Avatar.
==Serena Campbell's house==
Serena Campbell was sitting on her bed, polishing her toenails, when the black knight appeared in her room. She screamed, and cowered in the corner when he appeared. "What do you want?" she screamed.
The black knight didn't answer her, he just drew his sword, and pointed it at her, than sheathed it. As Avatar appeared, the black knight disappeared, as quickly as he came. As the black knight disappeared, Avatar transformed back to Jake Slater. "He was here," Serena said, hugging Jake, burying her face in her chest, and sobbing. Jake wrapped his arms around her, and noticed she was trembling like a leaf.
"What did he want?" Jake said, when Serena regained her composure. "Did he want to hurt you?"
"No," Serena said. "I have a feeling that if he wanted to hurt me, he would have the instant he appeared. I think his appearance might have been a message."
At that moment, Serena's father came into the room, shotgun in his hand. "Stay away from my daughter, you son of a . . . " he said, noticing Jake in the room. "Sorry," he said.
"That's okay," Jake said. "If I hadn't shown up when I had, I think you might have had to use that shotgun."
"What happened?" Mr. Campbell asked.
"Well, when I showed up, the black knight was here, but he bailed when I appeared." Jake said.
"That's the guy who killed Elizabeth Minako and Jerry Mauser," Mr. Campbell said.
"Yeah," Jake said. "That was him."
"What do you think he wanted?" Mr. Campbell asked.
"To send a mesage," Jake said. "Anyways, I think she'll be safer at my house tonight. I still have my powers, and we still have an ace in the hole."
"And I'm still able to become Sailor Moon," Serena said, regaining her composure.
"And it's a good thing you didn't transform," Jake said. "If he doesn't know you still have your powers, we can use that to our advantage."
"And you're going to need her when the time comes," Rini said.
"Rini," Serena said. "You're back."
"Just for a few minutes," Rini said, handing Jake a smaller version of Luna P, this one the size of a baseball. "Your future self sent me back to give you this. He said you'll know what to do with it. It's been fun, but I have to get back to my own time," Rini said, as she disappeared, as suddenly as she came.
==Jake's house, ten minutes later==
"What's going on?" Amy asked, as Jake and Serena teleported in.
"My room, now," Jake said. "I have something the two of you have to see."
Amy knew by the tone of his voice that whatever he wanted them to see was important. "What is it?" she asked.
"A message from the future," he answered, as he placed the Luna P on his nightstand, and pressed the nose. A hologram of his older self was projected from the left eye of the Luna P. "If you're watching this message," the older Jake said, "than something bad happened to the team. You encountered a foe that seems unbeatable. But he can be defeated. We just have to recruit a new team to defeat this foe. By the time you view this message, I know you have already recruited one new member. The morning after you view this message, you will recruit the rest of your team. I know you know who you need to recruit, and how they can help you defeat this new enemy once and for all."
"So the black knight can be defeated," Serena said, a note of relief in her voice.
"Yeah," Jake said. "Both of you meet me in the backyard tomorrow at noon. I should have the rest of the team assembled there by then."
"But Amy's powerless," Serena said.
"Didn't he tell you?" Amy asked, as a gold coated rose materialized in her hand. She threw the rose at her feet. "Transform!" she said, as she was enveloped by a gold mist which disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Where Amy once stood, was the new Gilded Rose, this time wearing a black off the shoulder top, black skirt, gold tights, black boots, and a gold sash belt with a rose clasp on the left hip. "Jake gave me the Gilded Rose powers after Chris had to give them up. He said when he faced the black knight, he wanted to have Gilded Rose fighting along with him."
"And I have a feeling that Sailor Moon might be needed to turn the tide in our favor," Jake said.
==the next morning, Jeff Slater's house 9:30 a.m.==
"Jake," Savannah Slater said when she answered the door. "What's up?"
"I need to talk to you and Charlotte," Jake said. "It's extremely important."
"She's in our room," Savannah said, as she and Jake went upstairs. "What's this all about?"
"The fate of the world," Jake said, as they reached Charlotte and Savannah's bedroom. "I need to ask a huge favor of the two of you."
"What kind of favor?" Charlotte asked.
"Accept these," Jake said, holding out two transformation wands. They were the same as the ones the other Sailor Soldiers used, except these ones only had half a sphere on them.
"What do we do with these?" Savannah asked.
"I'm glad you asked," Jake said. "You hold the transformation wands up, so that the halves of the sphere form one sphere, and say 'Pretty Gemini soldiers, Make-up!' and you will become Sailor Gemini."
"We accept," Charlotte said.
Charlotte and Savannah held theeir wands together, so the halves of the sphere formed a complete sphere. "Pretty Gemini Soldiers, Make-up!" they said in unison.
They found themselves transformed into Sailor Soldiers, wearing cropped white sailor tops with red collars and red sleeves, white bows with brooches with the Gemini symbol in the middle, red choker with gold diamond shaped center, white gloves with red bands, red sandals, and a red skirt with black waistband. The fact that they were both wearing one skirt, as well as the fact that their tops were cropped, exposed one side effect of their transformation that Jake had forgotten to mention: the twins were now conjoined at the back, from just under the shoulder blades to just below the waist.
"Isn't there something you forgot to tell us?" Charlotte asked.
"Yeah," Savannah said. "We may be close, but not that close."
"Don't worry about that," Jake said. When you change back, you'll be seperated. You're only joined when you're transformed. Change back, and see."
"It's worth a shot," Savannah said. "Revert," the twins said in unison, and transformed back into Savannah and Charlotte Slater. More importantly, just like Jake said, they were again two completely seperate people.
"So," Jake said. "Are the two of you in?"
"You bet," Charlotte said.
"Sure," Savannah said. "I always wondered what it would be like to have a Siamese twin."
"Even if only for a little while at a time," Charlotte said.
"Be at my house at noon," Jake said. "I have a few more people to bring in, and I want everyone at my house, in the backyard, at noon sharp."
"We'll be there," Savannah said.
==Buccanneer Burger, ten minutes later==
"Thanks for meeting me here at such short notice," Jake said.
"Don't mention it," Scott Kirschner said. "I just want to know what this is about."
"This," Jake said, handing Scott a lion shaped medallion. "To use it, hold it up, and say 'Lionheart', and you'll activate your new powers."
"Sounds like a load of something that you spread on your lawn," Scott said. "Than again, I know about what you and your friends do in your spare time."
"Does this mean you're in?" Jake asked.
"Anyone else and I would have already called the funny farm on them," Scott said. "Like I said, I know how you spend your spare time. Count me in."
"Great," Jake said. "Be at my house at noon. We're meeting up in the backyard."
"We?" Scott asked.
"What I'm preparing for, is going to need more than you and I," Jake said. "I still have to assemble the rest of my team."
==John Warner's house, five minutes later==
"Jake," John said, as he answered the door. "What are you doing here?"
"I have something important to tell you," Jake said.
"You want me to help you battle the black knight," John said. "I'm in."
"How'd you know?" Jake asked.
"I have a feeling," John said. "Besides, after what he did to Susan, I want to get a shot at him."
"You'll get your shot," Jake said, handing John a medallion with a dragon's claw on it. "This has Jerry's old powers. I would like to think he'd be honored for you to carry on in his footsteps as Dragonclaw."
"I'll do him proud," John said.
"Well, I've almost got my whole team assembled, and we're meeting at my house at noon. Meet in the backyard."
"I'll be there," John said.
==Molly Biel's house, fifteen minutes later==
"Jake," Molly said. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm assembling a team to go after the black knight," Jake said. "And we're going to need Sailor Earth."
"You know I'm in," Molly said.
"Great," Jake said. "Meet at my house at noon, in the backyard."
==Jake's backyard, noon==
The first to arrive was Scott Kirschner. Savannah and Charlotte Slater were next, followed by Molly Biel and John Warner. They met with Amy Andrson and Serena Campbell, and last, Jake Slater arrived. "I'd like to thank every one of you for showing up," he said, transforming into Avatar. As he did, a portal to another dimension appeared behind him. "You have all been chosen to help me destroy the black knight once and for all. Before we face him though, we need to train. Behind me is a portal to a dimension where time has no meaning, where we can take the time we need to hone our abilities to a razor edge, and to learn to work as a team. If you accept your place on this team, transform and follow me through the portal."
"Transform!" Amy said, and she transformed into Gilded Rose, and followed Avatar through the portal.
"I have one thing to say," Molly said. "Pretty Earth soldier, Make-up!" she said, and entered the portal.
"This is for you, Susan," John said, as he held up his transformation medallion. "Dragonclaw!" he said, and transformed into Dragonclaw. Once transformed, he entered the portal.
"Lionheart!" Scott said, and transformed. He found himself wearing a form-fitting long sleeved yellow shirt, yellow tights, red trunks over the tights, red elbow length gloves, red boots, brown belt, and red fur over his shoulders. He entered the portal.
"Pretty Gemini soldiers, Make-up!" Savannah and Charlotte said, holding their transformation wands together, and transforming into Sailor Gemini, and entered the portal, Savannah leading.
Serena opened her brooch, and touched the crystal inside. "Pretty Moon soldier, Make-up!" she said, transforming into Sailor Moon. She than entered the portal.
Five minutes later, everyone came back through the portal, this time transformed back to their civilian identities. True to what Avatar said, time had no meaning in the dimension in which they trained. Although the training lasted slightly more than ten years, none of the team members aged a day. "We're ready," Jake said. "But we're no longer the Sailor Soldiers. We're a new team. We're now the Soverign Protectorate."
