Chapter 2- A day in Japan
"Serena? Serena get up!"
"It's Saturday", Serena grumbled, "Get lost Luna"
"Oh get up already", Luna snapped, "You were suppose to meet the others in the park an hour ago!"
"WHAT!" Serena screeched, bolting up. There was yelp next to her, and she saw Will bolt up to, tousle haired and alarmed. Luna jumped off the bed and sauntered away, and Serena could have sworn she saw the cat smirk as it left the room.
"What's wrong?" Will asked drowsily as she clambered out bed, "What's happening?"
"We were supposed to meet the others in the park an hour ago!" Serena cried, jumping out of bed. She ran to the bathroom, and nearly tripped over Luna.
"Where's Rini?" she asked the cat in a venomous whisper.
"She left an hour ago", Luna said as she walked, "She actually wanted to be on time"
"She could have woken me up!" Serena said indigently, "She didn't have to just to leave!"
"Where's Serena?" Lita asked, "Should have known she would be late, I'm not surprised"
"Is she always late?" Cornelia asked, playing with a flower on the ground.
"Yes", Rei, Lita, and Mina all said at the same. The girls giggled.
"Sorry we're late!" a voice piped up cheerily behind them. They turned around and saw Will and Serena heading towards them. Luna was following behind them.
"Thanks for waking me up Rini", Serena scolded the girl as soon as she got to her. Rini shrugged and quickly ducked behind Amy, giggling.
"It isn't funny!" Serena snapped as the rest of the girls, even Will, started laughing, "You guys are horrible"
"Thank you, thank you", Irma said, mock bowing. Even Serena had to laugh now.
"Come on", Amy said once they were over their laughing fit, "Lets get going"
"This place is so cool!" Hay Lin exclaimed as they made their way through downtown, "This is amazing, hands down the best place I've ever been, hands down!"
"It is amazing", Cornelia admitted, "So many things to see, so much to do…"
"You get used to it after awhile", Serena said with a shrug.
"You know what the coolest thing about this place is though?" Rini asked.
"What?"
"The Sailor Scouts!"
"Who?"
"The Sailor Scouts", Rini said, ignoring the warning looks her friends were giving her, "Are these really cool super heroes who always save the town! An no one knows who they really are! If you ask me", she added with a mysterious grin, "Sailor Mini Moon is the coolest, I mean, after all, she's obviously the youngest in the group, but she still fights evil along with the Sailor Scouts! Oh and there's Tuxedo Mask"
"Who's that?" Will asked.
"He works with the Sailor Scouts, he's a hero to", Rini said, "He's really handsome to…"
"Oh please", Serena muttered to Amy, who giggled.
"Let her have her fun"
"So anyways", Rini said, "I'm hungry, I say we stop somewhere to eat!"
"I'm kind of hungry myself", Serena said, "I never got breakfast"
"Okay then", Lita said, "How about over there, they have great food"
"Okay!" the girls all said at the same time.
"Hm…" Serena said, leaning back in her chair, "That has to be the best food I've ever gotten here"
"It was pretty good", Mina agreed as Lita got up to pay the check.
"Thanks for lunch Lita!" Rini called after her.
"Anytime", she said with a smile. It was a very peaceful atmosphere in the restaurant, it was quiet, calm, everything a person could ask for.
CRASH!
Or not, Lita thought, whirling around. The whole restaurant had gone quiet, looking for the source of the noise. Their questions were answered almost instantly. A car literally flew past the window, landed, and burst into flames.
So much for no Sailor Scout work, she thought. She threw some money at the cashier and ran back towards her friends, who all looked shocked. No one noticed as she grabbed Amy and pulled her aside.
"We need the Sailor Scouts", she said quietly.
"But we can't just leave the girls", Amy pointed out.
"Good point", she grabbed Rini and pulled her over to where they were standing, "Cover for us"
"What are you gonna do?" Rini asked.
"There's something out there, we're just gonna go find out what-" a scream broke her off. She jerked around and looked out the window, seeing the cause of the commotion.
Whatever it was, it was not human. It was big, and black, and looked almost like walking shadow. It picked up a car and threw it aside.
"Whatever it is", Rini said, "It's gonna wreck the whole city!"
"Just keep cover", Lita said. She grabbed Amy and the two of them slipped out of the restaurant, unnoticed.
"Over there", Amy pointed to a back alley. Lita nodded and the two of them ran over, careful to not be seen.
"Ready?" Lita asked. Amy nodded, "Okay", she threw her hand in the air, "Jupiter Star Power!"
"Mercury Star Power!"
Rini slipped back into her seat, nervous. She hoped Lita and Amy would be okay fighting by themselves.
Will was the first to notice who was absent, "Where's Amy?"
"Oh uh…" Rini stumbled, unsure of what to say, "She said she was going to go find Lita, make sure she was okay"
She caught Serena giving her a stern look, and as soon as Will had turned back to the scene outside, she whispered in Serena's ear, "They went to go fight whatever that thing is"
Serena's eyes flashed angrily, "Whatta you mean?"
"They told me to keep cover for them", she said, "They didn't want to make the others suspicious or anything"
Serena sighed deeply, "Great"
Amy and Lita exchanged a look and nodded. They were in their Sailor Scout forms. They could only hope their absence would go unnoticed from the others. Before they could give it a second thought though, they ran out of the alley. Now or never.
"Hey!" she yelled, trying to get the monster's attention, "Looking for us?"
The thing spun around and glared at the two Scouts. It grumbled under its breath and started moving towards them.
"NOW!"
"Mercury Ice Storm!" Amy yelled. Wind started whipping around the monster, and its feet were frozen to the ground.
"Nice one", Lita said appreciatively, "My turn. Jupiter Thunder!"
Static formed around her hands, and a second later, zapped the monster full force.
"Yes!" the two yelled at the same time. Turned out it was a little early to celebrate. "What's going on?" Amy asked suddenly, looking at the monster. It had suddenly turned red, and was literally steaming. The ice around its feet melted away.
"What!" Lita yelled, "But, but…"
She didn't have any time to puzzle over what had just happened. Before she even saw it, the monster swiped at both of them with a humongous arm, and threw them both backwards.
"Oof!" they hit the ground with a dull thud, and were temporarily stunned by the impact. If the monster had wanted to finish them off, now would have been the time to do it. Luckily, they weren't alone.
"Mars Fire Ignite!" a ball of flames engulfed the monster. Amy and Lita looked around in relief, "Sailor Mars!"
Rei flashed them a quick grin and looked back at the monster. It roared in frustration and agony, and suddenly…it simply disappeared. The flames died away, but there were no ashes where it had been standing.
"What happened?" Rei asked in surprise. She ran over to help Amy and Lita. They stood up and dusted themselves off, looking at the spot where the monster had been.
"Did it just teleport or something?" Lita asked. Before either of her friends could answer, they noticed people starting to crowd around them.
"Time to go", Lita said. Amy and Rei nodded, and they ran down the street to find a place to change back
"Whoa", was all Irma could think to say. It had been so amazing, watching the Sailor Scouts fight. They had the coolest powers, no doubt. Maybe even better than their guardian powers! Okay, maybe they weren't that great. She looked over at Rini. The Sailor Scouts were every bit as cool as the young girl had said. Something about the look on Rini's face caught her attention. She looked…relieved. Relieved? Irma puzzled, why? It's like she knows them personally or something. Rini caught Irma looking at her and quickly flashed her a grin, "Aren't they every bit as cool as I said?"
"Sure are", Irma said, nodding. She was so entranced by the fight she had just seen, she didn't even notice when three exhausted looking girls came up behind them.
"It was awesome!" Irma said later that night. They were all over Serena's. Serena and her friends were off somewhere else running an errand, so the guardians had stayed behind to chat.
"I'm not sure it was a typical day in Japan", Taranee said, "But it was pretty cool, yea! Those Sailor Scouts definitely have something going for them"
"And we guardians don't?" Will asked mockingly. She gave Taranee a grin to show she was kidding, "All I know is, monster weren't mentioned in the brochure"
"Who cares!" Irma yelled excitedly, "Hey, so you think one of them would give me an autograph? You know, just so I can prove I met them?"
"Irma!" her four friends yelled at the same time. Will grabbed a pillow and hit her over the head with it.
"Hey!" before Will could react, Irma had snatched up a pillow of her own and was slamming Will in the head with it.
"Pillow Fight!" Hay Lin yelled, grabbing a pillow of her own and joining the two girls. Taranee and Cornelia exchanged a "why not?" look, and picked up pillows of their own. It turned into a full, blow out pillow fight in no time flat.
That was way too close", Serena said with a sigh, "Now do you see why I thought this exchange thing was a bad idea?"
"Yea…" Amy said uncomfortably. It was her fault they had gotten into this at all. She hadn't known what was going to happen when she signed them up for it.
"Hey", Serena said quickly, realizing she'd hurt Amy's feelings, "No big right? We got away with it today, didn't we? All we have to do is hope nothing else happens while the girls are here, right? I mean, one freak monster attack doesn't mean anything, I'm sure we'll be okay"
Amy smiled weakly. In her own, bone-headed way, Serena was good at making people feel better.
"We still have to deal with this monster", Lita pointed out, "We don't know what happened to it, after all"
"I wish we knew what it was", Rini said, "That would definitely be a hand for us"
"Yea, it would", Rei agreed, "What would be even better would be to know whether or not it's still out there"
The other girls nodded. They agreed completely on that note.
So, what'd you think? I know this was mostly centered around the Sailor Scouts, I'm really sorry for that, you'll see a lot more of the Witch girls next chapter. Okay, now I gotta go find someone to have a pillow fight with, so review!
