True...wait...aren't you just a voice in my head?
Elphie Muse: ...I can have voice in the head popcorn...
oO?...okay...moving on...
SithLibrarian, you raised a good point about normal Jack. Though you will have to wait a while to see how it pans out. I am currently over 70 pages in this fic. This story is now the longest ever. Rejoicify and let me know how much that makes you happy.
I own nothing recognizable in this fic.
Sam watched as streets and buildings rushed past the train car. She got off at a random stop and began walking down the street. She briefly recalled her most recent encounter with Ja'aku…
"What do you mean the Soul Phage was healed? Sailor Moon's power should not be that great!" Ja'aku snarled. His hand shot out and black lightening danced over Dark Phoenix's body, forcing her to the ground. He stopped after a moment.
"Eternal Sailor Moon didn't heal the Soul Phage," Dark Phoenix said, rising to her feet. She quelled her rising anger.
"Then who did?" Ja'aku asked.
"I don't know. I've never seen him before, but he is quite powerful. He was the one who healed the Phage."
"Perhaps you should be more discreet in your work Dark Phoenix. You have yet to impress me," Ja'aku said.
"I will not fail…Lord…" she said. He nodded and she vanished…
Sam sighed and sat down on a park bench, still slightly sore from the lightening. She stared in confusion as a chocolate bar was held out to her. She looked up and saw the stranger, a kind smile on his face.
"Chocolate makes anything better," he grinned.
"Who are you?" Sam asked.
He dropped the candy bar on her lap and shoved his hands into his jean pockets. "Name's Kael," he said. "And you are?"
"Sam," she said.
"Nice to meet you," Kael said. "So are you waiting for someone?"
"Not really," Sam said.
"Good!" he exclaimed and grabbed her by the arm. "Then quite moping around on a nice day. You look like you've lost your best friend." He pulled her to her feet.
Sam's mind briefly drifted to Jack, but she shook herself. "I don't need friends," she snapped, wrenching her arm free of his hand.
"Everyone needs friends," Kael said. "I'll make a deal with you," he suddenly told her. "You spend the day with me. If you don't have a good time, then I'll never bother you again. But if you do have a good time, you gotta cheer up."
"Fine," Sam agreed.
Kael grinned. "Then shall we?" he asked, gesturing to the sidewalk. Sam sighed in slight annoyance but began walking. Kael fell instep beside her. He took her around the city, showing her various sights including some zoos and even an amusement park.
Sam watched as Kael paid a cotton candy vendor. He's never been scarred by battles or any hardship, but he's so generous to people… she thought as he handed his cotton candy to a hopeful child, much to the dismay of the mother. He reminds me of how I use to be…so naïve and trustful…
Screeching tires made the pair and several other people turn to the street. Several cars crashed into each other, one erupting into a ball of flame. "Someone call for help!" a man yelled.
Sam watched in startlement as Kael ran to the accident. He quickly made his way to the burning car and tried to open the jammed door. Several other people helped the other cars as sirens came closer.
Kael grabbed the door handle of the car but pulled his hand away, grunting in pain from the heat. "Damn it…" he growled. "Hang on!" he told the injured people. He slammed his left elbow into the window and it cracked slightly. Bracing himself further, her rammed his elbow in the glass again and it shattered. He knocked the loose shards away and pulled the passenger out. He pulled her several feet away as firemen swarmed over the flaming car.
Kael checked for pulse and sighed in relief when he found one. Noticing the bad cuts on the woman's arms and legs, he pulled off his shirt and tore it up into pieces. He quickly wrapped the wounds as several medics came over.
"You have a good heart," Sam said.
He shrugged. "I'm a good guy," he said.
"You should get that looked at," Sam said, pointing to his left arm.
He looked down and saw that his arm was bleeding. "I should," he said. "So much for a fun day," he said.
"I…actually had a nice time," Sam admitted.
He flashed her a warm smile. "We'll have to do it again sometime." He turned and headed to an ambulance. Sam noticed black tribal tattoos decorated his upper arms, upper chest, and stretched down to his lower back. What really caught her attention though, were raised marks on his back that looked like whip marks. She watched him until he disappeared around an ambulance. She slowly ducked into an alley and watched as the last of the flames was put out.
As the crowd slowly dispersed, Sam snapped her fingers and black flames leapt up around her. Dark Phoenix smiled as a fireman strayed close by. She leapt out and tackled him to the ground. A cold grin formed on her face at the sight of the fireman's terrified look. She lifted her hand it began glowing black.

"I wonder what's going on," Usagi said, noticing a large crowd of people down the street, her school bag hanging from her hands which her behind her head. A scream sounded nearby and the five Inner Senshi ran up ahead. They skidded to a halt when they saw Dark Phoenix hovering over a fireman. They ducked into an alley.
"Mercury Spirit Power!"
"Mars Spirit Power!"
"Jupiter Spirit Power!"
"Venus Spirit Power!"
"Make UP!"
"Moon Eternal Spirit! Make UP!"

Dark Phoenix smiled as she removed the soul sphere from the fireman. "Stop right there!" a voice shouted.
Dark Phoenix turned. "You!"
"Attacking a man who helps those in need is unforgivable! The pretty soldiers in sailor suits…" Moon began.
"Sailor Team!" the five said together.
"In the name of the moon…"
"We shall punish you!"
Dark Phoenix turned and frowned when the soul sphere brightness faded. "Damn it!" she snapped. She turned and glared at the Senshi. "Have fun with the Soul Phage," she told them. She vanished in a column of black fire.
The Inner Senshi watched as the fireman turned into the winged demonic like figure. "Not good!" Moon exclaimed.
"What the heck is that?" Venus exclaimed.
The Phage turned to the Inner Senshi and lunged at them. "We have to stop it!" Jupiter yelled.
"Mars Flame Spirit Sniper!"
The Phage roared in pain as the attack struck it. "My turn," Moon said. "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!" The healing attack barely phased the creature. "Not again…" Moon said in disbelief. The creature roared and charged in towards Moon. She tried to leap away but the Phage grabbed her foot, sending her crashing into the ground. The Soul Phage straightened and prepared to impale Moon with its claws.
A silver arc of energy struck the Phage and it stumbled away from Moon. She scrambled away and hurried over to her comrades. "Who is that?" Jupiter asked as the mysterious warrior came into view.
"I don't know," Moon said.
The warrior reached behind him and sheathed the sword. "Hey! Don't hurt it! It used to be human!" Mercury cried.
The warrior ignored them as he brought his hands to his right hip, palms facing each other. An image of three silver intersecting crescent moons formed and split apart to form a whole silver moon. "Spirit Moon Healing Light!" he bellowed, thrusting his arms out. A giant silver orb crashed into the Phage, returning it to its human form.
"He healed the Phage when Sailor Moon couldn't?" Mars asked in a stunned voice. The others stared at him in shock.
He turned to leave. "Wait!" Moon yelled. He stopped and looked at her. "You obviously know how to fight this enemy. Help us, please."
"At least tell us your name," Jupiter said.
"Call me Nightwolf," he said.
"Will you help us?" Moon asked. "I know we can be friends."
Nightwolf studied her for a moment. "We do seem to have a common enemy, so why not?" he agreed with a shrug. Moon grinned and stood in front of him. She held out her hand for him to shake.
As he reached for it, a golden attack came rushing at him. He leapt away, drawing his sword at the same time. Moon and the others turned to see Uranus and Neptune standing several meters away.
"Stop!" Moon said. "He can help us!"
"No he can't," Pluto said, stepping into view. "He'll destroy everything you hold dear Sailor Moon."
The Inner Senshi stared at her in shock. "You're lying!" Moon finally said.
"Doesn't matter," Nightwolf said. He turned to leave only to be stopped by a large blade being pointed at him.
"I'm sorry, but we can't permit you to leave," Saturn said.
"Stop it! He's not evil!" Moon yelled.
"Spirit World Shaking!" Uranus yelled.
"NO!" Moon cried.
Nightwolf grabbed Saturn and dove to the side, the attack narrowly missing the both of them. He rose to his feet, silver eyes glinting in the fading sun. "If you want to fight me, Uranus, then so be it."
"No!" Jupiter yelled.
"He helped us!" Mercury added.
"Only because it suited his needs," Neptune said.
"Please stop," Moon said.
"Spirit World Shaking!"
"Deep Spirit Submerge!"
"Dead Spirit Scream!" The three attacks merged into one and flew straight at Nightwolf. He suddenly pulled his sword out and swung it like a baseball bat. The attack bounced off the blade and flew into the air, where it dispersed harmlessly.
"Impossible!" Uranus exclaimed.
"Shadow!" Nightwolf called. A silver wolf appeared at Nightwolf's side. "We will meet again Sailor Senshi." The wolf and warrior faded into the twilight.
Moon turned to the Outer Senshi. "Why? Why did you do that?"
"It's our mission to protect you," Neptune said.
"That warrior is dangerous Sailor Moon. He wants your power for himself," Pluto said. "And he'll stop at nothing to get it."
Moon faced the direction Nightwolf had taken, conflict in her blue eyes. I know he doesn't want power…I saw it in his eyes…He has more power than I do…he could have killed those Phages, but he chose to save them instead…he's not bad. I know he's not…but who is he? And...why do I feel like I should know him?
So the mysterious warrior is called Nightwolf. But what does he want? Why is he here? And how can he have more power than Moon? You'll just have to wait and see.
And for those of you familiar with DragonBallZ, Nightwolf's movements for his healing attack are based off of Son Gokou's Kamehameha attack. Till next time.
