Chapter 11
Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts continued to fight for the Seven Rainbow Crystals, both Tuxedo Mask and Shinigami were both on their side helping them out. Although Tuxedo Mask was still cruel towards the death like being. Zoyciete had lost the two other crystals to Tuxedo Mask. Queen Beryl wasn't pleased one bit. She was starting to see Zoyciete as a failure towards the Negaverse. But Zoyciete wouldn't give up, she had Malachite on her side now and he was training her to make her into a success. As Zoyciete was training with her love, Queen Beryl had some tricks up her sleeve. They were trying to figure out who Shinigami really was so they could have their way with him. That was another mission towards Zoyceite, to get the Rainbow Crystals and find out the identity of Shinigami. In the meantime, Usagi Tsukino and Duo Maxwell were starting to learn more about each other everyday, whenever they got the chance to talk. They were starting a great friendship.
Zoyciete had her back facing the Queen. Queen Beryl raised an eyebrow had suspected something from Zoyciete, she was feeling uncomfortable. "So Zoyceite, you still haven't figured out the identity of Shinigami? We're running out of time. I want that Silver Imperial Crystal!"
Zoyciete bravely turned around, "I don't know his real identity, but he shows up whenever the Sailor Scouts are in danger, along with Tuxedo Mask"
"Good, then we can trap them and make him surrender the two Rainbow Crystals we lost. Along with Tuxedo Mask" said Queen Beryl.
A smirk spread across Zoyciete's face, "Malachite and I have this whole thing planned out. We'll trap them in Malachite's dorm and Shinigami and Tuxedo Mask will both surrender."
"Are you sure you can manage that? They outwitted you several times" questioned Queen Beryl to see if Zoyceite was ready for this.
"She's ready, I'll be working with her and this plan will work Queen Beryl, I promise" vowed Malachite as he stood up for Zoyceite.
Zoyceite blushed, "Oh Malachite"
"This will take a lot of energy and I promise, it will be worth it" smirked Malachite.
"Very well, you're in charge Malachite" agreed Queen Beryl, and she dismissed the evil couple to go forth on their mission.
"Reach for the sky and hand me all of your money!" ordered the robber as he pointed a gun at everyone in the bank. "Put all the money in this bag and all of you bank clerks better not try anything funny!"
All the bank clerks started to panic and were slowly putting the cash into the bag just like the robber ordered them to. But a silver Tierra knocked the gun out of the robbers hand. The robber cried and quickly covered his hand.
"That's good advice" laughed a heroine voice, it was Sailor Moon.
"What? Sailor Moon!" asked the robber in shock
Sailor Moon ignored the man and gave him a large kick right in his face and knocked the robber out leaving a giant footmark on his face. "I'm Sailor Moon champion of justice!"
The T.V was on in the Tsukino household, Luna fell asleep on the couch peacefully but quickly woke up when she heard an announcement that Sailor Moon defeated a bank robber by one karate kick in the face. Luna gasped when she saw the Sailor Moon on T.V, it looked exactly like the original Sailor Moon, but she said purple boots, bow, and collar.
"Sailor Moon! That can't be her!" insisted Luna in shock.
Usagi was gulping down two ice cream cones and giggling happily as she walked with Makoto down the streets of Tokyo. "Don't tell Luna I had five of these because she'll get on my case about pigging out"
Makoto laughed, "Fine but don't complain when you get a major stomach ache"
Usagi giggled, "A stomach ache from sugar? As if"
The two girls walked towards the library where two window cleaners were cleaning the windows on the tall building. Through the windows, you could see Quatre reading a book silently to himself. Duo popped out around the corner.
"Hey Quatre! Check this out!" yelled Duo as he held out a comic book.
People around then where glaring at them and going 'shhh'. Quatre blushed of embarrassment, "Duo, this is a library, people are reading"
Duo blushed as well, "Opps" he chuckled to himself and calmly showed a funny part in a comic book. Quatre didn't understand the point. He just chuckled silently until they heard someone scream. Duo and Quatre both looked out the window to see the two window cleaners hanging from their rope. Everyone down below started to panic as well.
"Someone call for help!" yelled a women.
Duo and Quatre just watched in shock, "This didn't happen by accident" said a manly voice. Duo turned to his left to see Mamoru was standing right next to him. Just then, the rope snapped and one of the men started to fall. He was screaming fearing for his life. But then a rope came out of no where and there was the same Sailor Moon from the bank saving the mans life. Sailor Moon and the man both landed safely on a mat covering a drug store. The crowd in the city started to clap and cheer for the heroine.
"What!" asked Usagi in shock as she watched what happened right in front of her eyes.
"You're all safe as long as I'm around!" yelled Sailor Moon and did a back flip onto a building and took off running.
Mamoru then quickly left the library leaving Duo and Quatre alone. Mamoru pushed through the crowds. "He's in a rush" stated Quatre as they both watched Mamoru leave them. "Yeah" agreed Duo, but he had his suspicions.
Mamoru ran outside and looked where the incident happened, "That's not the Sailor Moon I know" and he took off running to investigate. He ran passed Makoto and Usagi, who was on the ground crying with Makoto comforting her.
"What's the deal? She can't be Sailor Moon! That's my job!" cried Usagi in her annoying cry.
"Usagi! Stop it! You have your communicator don't you? We need to call the others now!" ordered Makoto as she tried to get Usagi back on her feet, but Usagi just simply nodded.
Malachite was watching this 'new' Sailor Moon jump and leap buildings as she was running around an import factory right off the water. Thunder was coming towards the location in the far off distance. Malachite watched her with a sly smirk across his lips and chuckled to himself, "This new Sailor Moon will be the perfect bait for Shinigami and Tuxedo Mask. Then we will finally have all of the crystals"
Duo, however just so happened to be in the same area. He walked around wearing his black baseball cap and checked the area out. "What a perfect place to keep Gundam parts undercover. Howard said he knew people around here." he said out loud as he studied all of the boxes around him. "I guess staying on Earth does come in handy" he chuckled to himself. But, something white flashed over his head and stole his black cap. Duo almost fell to the ground but he caught himself. He looked up to see the same white cat from before with his cap in his mouth.
"You again!" hollered Duo as he saw the same annoying white cat. The cat dashed off with Duo on his trail.
"Give me back my hat!" yelled Duo as he was chasing the white cat around.
The white cat was running off as fast as he could gasping for air. He saw a corner coming up and decided to turn the corner and run into the ally. Duo saw his movement and followed him as he ran into the alley just trying to catch that cat. The cat came to an end and Duo slide across the ground and body slammed the cat and got his hat back. The white cat had swirls in his eyes.
Duo simply put his cap back on, "What the hell were you in a hurry for?" laughed Duo as he saw the cat knocked out. It slowly got up, "all this over a cap?" asked the white cat.
Duo's eyes got big and he pointed at the white feline, "A talking cat! Wow, I've totally lost it now!"
The white cat shook his head, "The name's Artemis, and I know a lot about you, Duo Maxwell"
Duo gasp as the cat was talking to him, "I'm so glad I found you, you're needed here on earth"
"What do you mean! Oh my god, I can't believe I'm talking to a stray cat!" panicked Duo.
Artemis sighed, "That jewelry around your neck is the symbol of you're identity, Shinigami. Protector of the Sailor Scouts and the Moon Princess"
"Moon Princess? What are you talking about?" asked Duo as he gave Artemis a weird look.
"He means its you're duty to protect the Moon Princess as soon as she's been revealed along with the legendary Sailor Scouts" said a feminine voice.
Duo's eyes looked up to see a girl about his age with long blonde hair, that was half up in a red bow, sparkling light blue eyes, and she wore an orange mini sailor skirt with orange shoes and white gloves. She was definitely a Sailor Scout.
