Thanks for the reviews. This has got to be my favorite chapter so enjoy '...The Return of Sailor Moon.'
Chapter 6
...The Return of Sailor Moon
The eight Senshi looked up unto a light post and there in the light was another Senshi.
"Serenity?" Sailor Mars whispered to herself.
The Senshi caught her tiara and placed it back on her forehead. Then, she pointed at the five Intruders and said, "Attacking my past means ruining my future and I can't forgive you!"
"It can't be!" Sailor Pluto exclaimed.
"I am the Super Sailor Senshi made up in pink; the fighter of love and justice – Neo-Sailor Moon!"
"Neo-Sailor Moon?" the eight Senshi asked confusedly.
"That's right! Your force-field making days are over, because in the name of the future moon, I shall punish you!"
There in front of them was Sailor Chibi-Moon, except not so Chibi. She identified herself as Neo-Sailor Moon meaning she must be the Sailor Moon of the future. There she was, a Super Senshi in pink with pink hair in two cone-like buns attached to two pink tails flowing down to her upper thigh. She was a beautiful sight to see.
Neo-Sailor Moon brought out her pink moon rod with the pink crystal heart on top. "Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" From the wand, an enormous pink heart began to grow as if it were a bubble being blown and once Neo Sailor Moon released it, it popped and a multitude of small pink hearts attacked the Intruders. Suddenly, hearts touched each Intruder and they were hidden behind a curtain of darkness just as the Fire-Breathers and Cannon-Blasters did except now, the darkness turned into white light and then on the grown laid five ordinary people with a dark orb in each hand. The orbs themselves now had a white glow on the inside then they shattered.
"Its nice to see it actually works this time!" Sailor Mars exclaimed.
"You better believe it does." Neo Sailor Moon said still on the light post. Men of the Royal Army came out to see the conclusion of the battle. "Take those five into jail," Neo Sailor Moon told them. "Make sure they are contained!" The Sailor Senshi were surprised at the leadership that Neo Sailor Moon had portrayed. "Now," the young woman said turning to the Senshi. "Let's get back to the palace. All these grand entrances make me hungry." The young woman said very a-matter-of-factly before jumping down and walking towards the palace.

The room roared with laughter in the evening. Rather than being in the control room, everybody met in one of the living rooms of the palace, in their normal attire to talk with Chibi-Usa... actually, Usagi. Laughing about the times they had in the past during Usagi's days as Chibi-Usa, the women could barely control themselves.
"So what brings you back? What's going on?" Setsuna asked.
"Well, I haven't come with good news of the future that's for sure." The young lady replied. "There's so much to tell. I mean, I am coming from Thirty-First Century Crystal Tokyo."
"Well don't keep it from us." Serenity said looking at the image of beauty before her. She was amazed at how Chibi-Usa would grow up. Usagi looked about eighteen and she had the figure of a woman. All the baby-fat that was in the Age 8 Chibi-Usa soon was dispersed in the right amounts on her Age 18 body. She stood at 5'1", two inches above her mother. She had a small and humble chest which was covered by slender arms. She seemed cold and uncomfortable. "Does it have to do with the Dark Moon Family or the Kin of the Black Crystal?" Serenity asked.
"The Dark Moon Family was destroyed in the twentieth century. They are not the threat you are up against Serenity-sama." The girl said looking to the floor while speaking. Looking upward and addressing the Senshi she said, "You're up against the Kin of the Black Crystal."
"What are they planning to do?" Sailor Neptune asked.
"It's the power of the Kin; they'll use it to turn the tide of Silver Crystal Power in Crystal Tokyo. The future is bleak and Neo-Queen Serenity of the future has sent me to the past (your present) to help prevent the future that I live in."
"What does it look like Usagi?" Ami asked.
Usagi shook her head and smiled trying hard to keep her composure while explaining. "It's black." She said forcing herself to giggle. "It's very dark. Ma... Neo-Queen Serenity is barely holding to the light of the Silver Crystal. She's been at it for a whole century never resting, usually having sleepless nights. She has been trying to teach me how to control the Silver Crystal ever since the mishap I created when I was Age 7."
Everybody knew what she spoke of. Back before the Awakening of Crystal Tokyo when Usagi had come to the past running from the Dark Moon Family, she had absorbed the Silver Crystal into her body and it did not come out until the battle against Wiseman. Chibi-Usa of the present was told never ever to go near the crystal so the mishap would not happen again. After breaking a vase the day she would have gone in, she decided against it, told her mother what she clumsily had done and was forgiven.
"I wish I would've done that." Usagi said as Serenity relayed that particular story to her. "But as for the crystal, I am much better at handling it.
"What do you plan to do?" Neo-King Endymion asked.
Usagi sighed before spilling the words she had in mind. "The battle will soon come when the Black Crystal will try and turn the tide of light. My mother says if I can stay and help Neo-Queen Serenity here then you will probably have a chance to beat the Kin now."
"Did anybody follow you to the past like they did when you visited us in the Twentieth Century?" Rei asked.
"To my knowledge, no; In fact I think they'd be happy to know that I was gone. I came before with the Silver Crystal embedded inside of me. I come now with nothing but my ability has a Senshi." Usagi looked at King Endymion. "Endymion-sama, I know I am young, but if it is in your will, I think I am capable of lending..."
"It shall be done... my Pretty Lady." Endymion said to the future image of his daughter.
Usagi's eyes dilated at his words and she began daydreaming of her father in the future but she quickly came back to reality. "I think after my training as a Senshi and as princess, I'll be able to help you, Serenity-sama, to keep the Silver Crystal's light shining. And if there is any other way you feel I can help you all, please tell me. Whatever means we have to undertake to see your present not become my future, then we should take them."
Suddenly a stomach grumbled. Everybody looked to Neo Queen Serenity with blank faces. "Hello," she said half happily, half insulted. "I think by now I've learned to control that."
A few seconds went by and everyone's eyes turned to Usagi who blushed and quickly tried to explain. "Traveling time, beating the Enemy, it makes me hungry." Everybody laughed as the new Senshi of the moon held her right arm with her left hand.
"Like mother, like daughter." Neo-King Endymion whispered into Neo-Queen Serenity's ear. He cleared his throat and as a passing butler went by he called to him. "Kirou, fetch Small Lady, I think we'll be having dinner early.
Usagi quickly jumped in. "Uh... I'll go get her; she's probably at Momoko's house. I'll use my car." Usagi said in a rush.
"What car?" Neo-Queen Endymion asked. "Here, you're only Age 8."
"Then may I take yours?" Usagi asked. Serenity smiled at the question as the black Mustang convertible with metallic striped came to her mind. Knowing her daughter, that was what she wanted to drive.
"Usagi," Serenity began. "I don't think... what?" Much to the queen's surprise, Neo-King Endymion threw Usagi the keys and winked. Usagi blushed and was off.

"I can't believe you're saying this!" Ryoku exclaimed as Chibi-Usa was changing in his bed room. "You just can't have evidence!" Ryoku paced outside the door until Chibi-Usa came out in her Small Lady uniform; a white, short-sleeve blouse, red and white, vertically-striped skirt with a red collar-tie and red suspenders. When she came out Ryoku went in, shut the door behind him and kept complaining about the unknown subject matter.
Chibi-Usa, who was supposed to go straight home, told the driver who usually picked her up in the limo that she was going to Momoko's house. However, she got on the wrong bus. Instead of getting on the Point 3 bus, she accidentally got on Point 5 and the kids began making fun of her until her friend Ryoku stood up. "If anybody wants to laugh at somebody," he had said. "Laugh at the person's butt I kick for laughing at my friend!" He ended.
Ryoku came out in a white t-shirt hanging out of blue denim-jeans and found Chibi-Usa sitting on the couch sipping the fruit punch he had laid out for them. They were discussing their most debated topic – cooties. "Well of course I don't have evidence but it's simply fact that boys are the ones with cooties." Chibi-Usa finally replied
"And why is that, Chibi-Usa?" Ryoku yelled back.
"Because boy's," she said, pointing her hand at Ryoku as if presenting him. "Are naturally more dirtier than girls." She concluded touching her chest. "It's a matter of principle."
"Are you calling me dirty?" Ryoku asked as his dark-cerulean eyes became fire.
"If the shower doesn't run." Chibi-Usa answered. Ryoku was stupefied as the little girl took another sip from her straw and the fruit punch disappeared. "Can you get me more fruit punch?" Chibi-Usa sensed he was about to protest. "Not because I am princess but because you're younger than I and you should serve your elderly."
"Elder... and you're only older by one Age." Ryoku muttered, snatching the cup from the table that faced the television. As Ryoku went to the kitchen to refill, Chibi-Usa found the remote to the television and tried turning it to her favorite channel until she ran across a documentary of her mother; Neo-Queen Serenity. The announcer talked about how much of a lady the queen was and how she served so many different people. Chibi-Usa felt a little guilty for sending Ryoku to get her a drink. Suddenly the doorbell rang.
This would be Chibi-Usa's chance to redeem herself and practice being a lady like her mother. After all, in the palace, she'd never answer the door. She jumped up from the sofa and went up to answer the door. When she opened it, a woman was standing in the doorway wearing a sleeveless white-collard blouse (with red bow) tucked into a red and white, vertically striped skirt attached by suspenders. Wait a minute, Chibi-Usa thought; she was wearing the same thing. The woman's big, red eyes stared into Chibi-Usa's, big red eyes. There was something of the woman that Chibi-Usa found very suspicious. She even had pink hair shaped into two little cones on top of her head but her two tails flowed down to her upper thigh. There was something very suspicious indeed.
Ryoku came out of the kitchen with one glass of fruit punch and a stain on the front of his white t-shirt. I hope you're happy Chibi-Usa, I spilled some punch on me..." Ryoku paused as he saw the woman and Chibi-Usa staring at each other. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Ryoku looked at the woman, and then looked at Chibi-Usa. He looked at the woman and at Chibi-Usa again. He developed a sweat drop and became enraged. "It's bad enough with only one of you!" he said storming back into the kitchen with the fruit punch.
"Boys are so stupid." Chibi-Usa and the woman said simultaneously. Chibi-Usa gasped and took a step backwards. "Do I have an unknown fan club?" she asked putting a finger to the side of her lips.
"No silly," the woman replied. "I'm you... except in the thirty-first century. I'm supposed to be taking you home." Ryoku came out with two cups of fruit punch and stood a little ways off from the girls.
"You're me? But I'm me." Chibi-Usa was confused but then it clicked. "Wait; are you the me that came from the future before and the me that that trained with mama that left before I was born?"
"Did you understand any of that?" Ryoku asked as his eyes looked like two black dots.
"Duh." The two replied. "Now," Usagi began. "Get your things; I'll take you both to the pala..." Usagi stopped talking. A memory came to her and she became assertive and demanding. "Hurry, we need to leave now!"
Usagi ran into Ryoku's room and got the kids' bag-packs. "How does she know where my room is?" Ryoku asked.
"Because she's me." Chibi-Usa said watching Usagi move through the condo picking up their belongings.
"Alright let's go." She said. She took a look back into the penthouse apartment building and sighed. "This time it will stay in one piece."
"Chibi-Usa2 what do you mean!" Ryoku asked as he exited the building.
"Call me Usagi," she first replied. "And I mean that you'll be safe with me."
"Nobody will be safe." A man said from in front of them. It was Shei, the bald man that led Roiyaru and Tomoshibi into the hands of the Kin of the Black Crystal.
"You." Usagi hissed.
Shei was still in the uniform of the King's Soldiers. "Who are you?" Shei asked. "You look like a grown up Small Lady..." Shei took a look at the little girl at Usagi's leg. "And you look like Small Lady... you must be Small Lady." He broke out into laughter. "Here I was sent to destroy Sailor Venus and I can now take the princess of Crystal Tokyo."
"You won't be doing any such thing." Usagi said angrily.
"Hey what about me!" Ryoku exclaimed. "Aren't I important!"
"Who are you?" the man asked as Ryoku sighed heavily and began to explain saying he was the son of General Shuensha. It made Shei laugh. "You're the general's son?" the man asked laughing after every word. "Do you know easy it was to lead your father and General Taiyou into our trap! Who needs you when we have captured them both!"
Ryoku was shocked. "You have Roiyaru..."
"...and Tomoshibi?" Chibi-Usa finished.
"But if you want, I could get you too, along with the princess." She replied to him.
"You won't be getting anything but your butt kicked." Usagi said, raising her brooch to the air. "Moon Crisis Make Up!" In an instant, the beautiful Senshi in pink stood before him. "You're here to plague the life of the Senshi who protects this point and try to kidnap her son as well as the princess. For that I cannot forgive you. I am the fighter for love and justice from the future moon – Neo-Sailor Moon! And in the name of the future moon, I shall punish you."
"Sailor Moon?" Shei asked himself confusedly. After all, it was Queen Serenity who was Sailor Moon until she became queen. It was no matter to the man, if he would return Chibi-Usa and Ryoku to Nise, he would be rewarded. In fact, if he would conquer this new Sailor Moon as well he reward would be greater. "Black Crystal Power, make up!"
Shei was then covered in a curtain of darkness and he when he came out, his eyes were a dark green color and there was a certain aura around him. "You two, go back inside." Neo-Sailor Moon said to the kids. In an instant the kids ran back to Ryoku's home and watched from the window. "What are you?" Neo-Sailor Moon asked. "What are you? Fire-Breather, Cannon-Blaster, Intruder, or..."
"Tetsu-Fighter." The man finished for her. "You are going to feel real power, Sailor Moon."
"We'll see about that." Neo-Sailor Moon began running up to the man and jumped into the air. "Sailor Moon Kick!" The kick sent the man a few paces backwards but he simply got up and cracked his neck. 'Harder than I thought.' Sailor Moon said as her hair began blowing in the wind.
"And they said Sailor Moon was supposed to be the strongest Senshi. You can't pull cheerleading stunts and call yourself a 'fighter of love and justice.' I'll show you what a true fighter fights like." Shei walked slowly and confidently towards Neo-Sailor Moon who had struck her fighting pose and was ready for him to come closer.
As he was close enough she threw a punch but he easily caught her fist and smiled. She winced in pain as her fist was crushed by the man's hand. Without any extra energy, he pushed Neo-Sailor Moon backwards and she slid on the pavement creating skid marks on the road. 'Not good on the heels.' She thought to herself. She knew he was strong, but she had no intention of giving up. With another quick motion she tried another 'Sailor Moon Kick' but he again blocked. In retaliation he simply sent her flying backwards until she landed on her butt. "Ouch." She said out loud, rubbing her backside as she stood up.
The man laughed. "You are no match for a Tetsu-Fighter! Don't you see how strong the Black Crystal has made me? And when the Tide of Energy begins to turn, just think how much stronger I will become."
"I won't let that happen." Neo-Sailor Moon said striking another pose. The man ran full force towards her like a football linebacker. Hitting her, she slammed into the front of the black convertible that she had driven to pick up Chibi-Usa and Ryoku. The glass had cracked, and the dented hood popped up a little as she slid to the ground. She sat on the ground, head down, breathing heavily, left leg outstretched and right leg close to her chest. Shei wanted to take full advantage of the situation and he closed in on her until Ryoku and Chibi-Usa came outside of the building.
"Leave her alone!" Chibi-Usa yelled.
"And give back my dad!" Ryoku shouted at the man running towards him.
"Ryoku, no!" Neo-Sailor Moon managed to say.
Ryoku silently ran towards the evil man remembering that it was the same man that had captured Roiyaru. Did the boy know what he was up against? He did not know nor did he care. He was an agent of revenge and he began to swing his small arms at Shei much to his delight. Shei laughed and laughed as he dodged the little boy's hits. "Give me back my dad!" he shouted angrily swiping his small, childlike fist at the man's knee. The man simply moved out the way andagain Ryoku swung his arms and cried out in vengeance.
"If you don't stop, you'll end up just like you're father!" Shei said forcing his laughter. He was becoming annoyed with the pint-sized hero and put his big hand over the lad's face and lightly pushed him backwards making him fall on his butt. Shei laughed. "You're as weak as your ole daddy!" Shei exclaimed. "How old are you anyway, Age Two?"
Tears began falling from the angry boy's face and he got up to his feet and shouted. It may have been adrenaline but it may not have. Whatever it was, even the Queen could feel the power that erupted in the little boy. As if Shei was a soccer ball, he kicked him right in the kneecap.
The scene was silent; whatever power the boy held, disappeared. The boy took a step back, shocked at what happened. It was when Shei shouted in pain that Ryoku quickly ran back to Chibi-Usa and hid behind her. "You'll pay for that you little brat!"
Shei limped his way towards the two small kids and they froze in fear. His destination was cut short by a golden discus flying in front of him like some sort of warning. "You forgot about me!" Neo-Sailor Moon said trying to standing up, placing her tiara back on her forehead with her left hand. In her right hand was her Moon Wand. "Pink Sugar Heart Attack!"
The burst of pink hearts floated towards Shei. He felt the power of the Black Crystal slowly drain from him and before he was completely overtaken by the power of Neo-Sailor Moon, he jumped out of the way of the attack and ran away. "You were lucky this time!" the three heard as Shei ran into the distance.
"Sailor Moon!" the two kids exclaimed as they saw her collapse at the car again.
"I'm alright." She said slowly, weakly. "Just... get some help."
So how'd you like that? I've gotta say I liked writing this one. It makes me think of what would happen if Chibi-Usa had her own series. Review for me folks! Rikou.
