Chapter Three: Bad Attribute

"Wow, I can't believe Hina is from the future. She came here to save me from that silver dragon and helped me to find another Sailor Soldiers. Is Hina a true Sailor Moon? Unlike me?" Ikuko asked.

Ikuko sat on her bed in her bedroom in the attic with her guardian cat, Sol. Sol gazed up at Ikuko as he listened what she said about Hina was true Sailor Moon. He sighed a bit and had something to tell her.

"Ikuko... she may know something's wrong in her time. She decided to come here to check something if there is a trouble with present time. I will be happy if she helps me to find your guardians. We can fight alongside with a new leader, Super Sailor Moon." Sol explained.

Sol was an orange cat with dark orange strips on his back. He looked like mini-tiger with dark orange strips instead of black strips. He sat on Ikuko's bed and thought about Super Sailor Moon. He sighed a bit.

"Anyway, I better go to school today. I will catch her up."

"Wait, will you tell to Diana to meet me at Game Center Crown? I have something's important to tell."

"Sure! Bye!"

Ikuko stood up and grab her back bag and walked downstairs while Sol was watching at her.

At a penthouse

In the kitchen, Hina was eating breakfast while Diana walked in the hallway to kitchen and she jumped on the table. She sat down, looked up at her, and talked.

"I have been thinking why Ikuko is Sailor Moon? And how can Sol talk? I mean I remembered my mama told me about there is no Sailor Soldiers in the past not until she got awaken from their time capsular and awaken our Sailor Soldiers." Diana said.

Hina continued eating breakfast while she was listening to Diana. She blinked a few times and tried to think.

"Since Ikuko accepted her duty as Sailor Moon. She has to save everyone she loved mostly. No wonder my mama was inheriting from Ikuko's purity. Anyway, I must find another Sailor Soldiers and join us to fight with a mysterious knight...," Hina said as she realized something about him, "...wait, does he know me? I mean he called me Princess Lady Serenity. Is he coming from the future also?"

Hina and Diana gasped loudly. They remembered from Sailor Pluto said something.

Start of Flashback

"Someone broke the Time Gate and already entered into." Sailor Pluto said to Neo-Queen Serenity. Princess Lady Serenity and Diana stared at her as they listened very carefully. Neo-Queen Serenity turned to them and nodded at them slowly. She tried to understand them without saying a word. Princess Lady Serenity and Diana gazed up at her and didn't understand not until…

End of Flashback

Hina looked at Diana and said something.

"Sailor Pluto told us that someone broke the Time Gate and entered into was that mysterious knight?"

"Yes, I think so. He already knew about you, Neo-Queen Serenity, King Endymion and Sailor Soldiers. He learned a lot about them including you and me. Do you think he has a prefect plan for killing your grandparents and others?"

"Yes. I must stop him before killing grandparents or no future."

"Who's become next Sailor Soldier? Have you found any aura around?"

"No. Let's go outside."

Hina and Diana stood up and walked out of the penthouse. They walked on way to high school. While they were walking, they tried to find out who the mysterious knight from the future where Crystal Tokyo arisen. A few minutes later, they noticed at Ikuko standing there and were waiting for them. Ikuko was waiting for her friends, Hina and Diana. She noticed them back and gave them a warm smile. She was happy to see her new friends who were from the future.

Ikuko greeted, "Hi Hina and Diana! Good Morning!"

"Good Morning, Ikuko" Hina said.

"How are you doing? I kind of still am shocked since you transformed in front of my eyes."

"So do I!"

"Oh Diana, Sol reminds me of you. Sol wants to talk to you something's important. You will meet him at Game Center Crown." Ikuko said to Diana. Diana looked up at her and nodded once. She turned to look at Hina.

"Hina and Ikuko, don't forget to look for Sailor Soldiers, ok?"

Both said, "Yes."

Ikuko and Hina began walking into the high school while Diana was walking on way to Game Center Crown to meet Sol. Ikuko and Hina were chatting about the girl stuffs.

Hina said, "Oh yeah. I agree with y-- oof!"

Hina bumped into a girl with brown hair. They got hurt and looked at each other. Hina bowed down at a girl with brown hair and apologized at her for not paying attention.

"I am sorry, miss. Are you ok?" Hina apologized. She noticed at a girl and she looked pissed off. She looked at Hina and she growled a bit. A girl had long brown hair just like Minako Aino's hairstyle, brown eyes, and pale skin. She seemed she was average.

"Watch out where you are! You geek!" a girl with brown hair yelled.

"Hey! I already said I am sorry! Why you called me geek?! This is totally rude!" Hina yelled back.

"Why you... Argh! No one mess up with famous teenagers like me!"

"What? Oh please! You are not famous! You are just mean girl who is not disrespect. Only famous people are respect and friendly. Unlike YOU!" Hina yelled. Everyone in school gasped loudly and mumbled loudly.

"Hina, It's enough. She's careless. Forget her!" Ikuko said as she helped her standing up.

Hina stood up and looked down at a girl with brown hair. She and Ikuko began walking away from her. A girl with brown hair was mad at Hina and didn't care her. She tried to stand up and walked away from her.

In Hina's biology class

Hina wondered who that mean girl was. She turned to look at Ikuko and asked her something.

"Ikuko, who is that mean girl? Why is she mean?"

"Her name is Saeko. She's the best swimmer in this school ever! She's bossy around. She doesn't like anyone stand in her way. Well yeah, she's very mean because she doesn't let anyone near her baby brother. He's eight years old. Still, Saeko defends him from people. She loves her baby brother mostly in the world." Ikuko explained to Hina about Saeko.

Hina nodded twice as she understood. She knew Saeko was surely mean girl but oddly, she seemed she had good heart for her. Hina and Ikuko heard a loudly giggle from the hallway. They turned to look at door and waited for someone came in. It was Saeko. Saeko was giggling while she was walking into the class. She stopped giggling and looked at Hina. She was still mad at her and ignored her. She walked on way near Hina's desk. While she was walking, she whispered softly at Hina.

"Loser." Saeko whispered to Hina.

Hina blinked and growled a little. She decided to ignore her also. She couldn't believe that Saeko called her stupid for her second time.

No one insulted her in 32nd century because she was princess. All the people from entire world respected to White Moon Royal Family of Crystal Tokyo. About her first time when she was small, she was insulted by those cruel children in her school. They called her 'Fake princess' and 'No Birthmark' because she wouldn't become a lady and never received her birthmark on her forehead just like her mother, Neo-Queen Serenity. They thought she was not Princess Small Lady Serenity but they knew she pretended to be like princess by her looks. Princess Small Lady Serenity tried to tell them the truth and they didn't deserve it and continued insulting her. So Princess Small Lady Serenity cried often and she knew she was no longer grown up becoming a lady just like her mother. But for long time in the future, she began growing up becoming a lady. She was now a lady. A kind lady. She was beautiful lady just like her mother. She was happy because no one insulted her. Not until... a mean girl named was Saeko who was from the past, insulted her for her second time.

While Ikuko and Hina were listening to their biology teacher and Ikuko tried to suspend on Hina.

'Hmm... She must have something in her mind. I wonder who she is. Is Hina Kusaka her real name? I have to find out who she really is.' thought Ikuko, 'Oh, and why she said I am very important to her? What does it mean? I wonder...'

She blinked and noticed at Hina turned to look at her and whispered at her.

"Ikuko? You said Saeko defends her baby brother all the time?" Hina asked. Ikuko nodded slowly.

Hina said, "So, why defend him? You may know her, don't you?"

"Yes, I know her since we met when we were children. I heard Saeko and her brother... lost their family in the water. Let me tell you a story. When Saeko was eight, her family took her and her baby brother to the beach and sold a boat for their vacation in one summer. Saeko was very nice and friendly child and played with her brother. Her brother was a baby in her time. One day, the storm was coming; Saeko's father struggled with driving. Her mother took her and her brother inside the deck and protected them. A lightning hit on the boat and made it broke half. Saeko's mother managed red to escape them to out of the deck and put them in the water. Good thing was Saeko knew how to swim because her mother took her to swimming lesson. Bad thing was Saeko's parents didn't know how to swim. That was bad. Saeko took her baby brother and put him on her bad. She began swimming away from a broken boat. They were in the middle of ocean. Saeko turned to look for her parents. She kept calling their parents. No one heard her. Saeko and baby brother were stuck in the ocean but not long time. A few hours later, the two police ships came to find them and bought back to land. Saeko cried and cried because her parents were drowning in the water. That's why she took swimming practice and became the best swimmer. Saeko raised her brother by herself. Well, they were adopted by the foster parents but she didn't need them, though. She did her best to protect her brother. Her baby brother is only family member Saeko has." Ikuko explained as she knew a lot about Saeko.

She looked at Hina and noticed at her. Hina began crying and didn't know why Saeko was very mean but she got true gold heart. Hina tried to peek on Saeko, writing on note. Saeko looked up at Hina and gave her an icy glare. Hina looked away from Saeko and wondered how she found a way to be a friend with Saeko.

The bell rang. The classes were over. Hina, Ikuko, Saeko, and the students got stand up and began leaving their class and going to home. While Ikuko was putting her books in her backpack, Hina looked for Saeko so she found her. Hina ran to her and said to her.

"Saeko, wait." Hina said.

"Huh? What now?" Saeko said in cold tone.

"Listen, you were right. I am sorry I didn't see you in your way. I am new student. Are you mad?"

"Well, I was. Look, I am sorry if I called you loser but yes, I am mad at you. You totally embarrassed me in front of kids. I won't forgive you! You stupid!"

"What? Why you..."

"Enough! Both of you! You two are very immature!" yelled a voice. It was Ikuko. She stopped them from talking bad harsh words. Saeko ignored her and Hina and walked away from them. Hina and Ikuko looked each other. They sighed heavily.

At Game Center Crown

Sol was waiting for Diana showing up. He noticed at a gray thing on the distance street. It was Diana. She walked very slowly and gentle. She smiled gently and friendly looks. She got them from her mother, Luna, the advisor to Neo-Queen Serenity. She noticed at Sol standing there and waiting for her.

"Sol! Hi!"

"Hi." Diana finally arrived Game Center Crown and greeted Sol. She smiled gently at him. Sol stared at her and hardly believed to her. Diana looked like a cat goddess. That was what Sol thought. Sol blinked and shook his head.

"So, have you found any Sailor Soldiers yet?"

"No, not yet. I ask you a few questions for you."

"Go ahead."

"How do you talk? Are you from Mau? How do you get powers? Why are you involving this event? Why Ikuko? Those questions I have to ask you! Be honest."

"Very well, I will answer them. Please don't tell Ikuko and Hina."

"I won't."

"Yes, I am a talking cat just like you. I also come from Mau. My queen sent me here to awaken Sailor Soldiers for defending the city until..." said Sol.

"Until what?"

"...you and Her Royal Highness Princess Lady Serenity get here for helping us to defeat enemies."

"Wait! How do you know Her Royal Highness Princess Lady Serenity? Who are you really?!" Diana said in worried tone but a few minutes later, she growled at him.

"Take an easy. I am from 32nd century also. My queen is Her Majesty Neo-Queen Serenity and she ordered me to back here to protect Royal Family's families."

"Oh my god... why..."

"To keep you and Her Royal Highness away from reveal of me and Sailor Sun. It is an order from Her Majesty. She thinks it is not right time yet." Sol explained to Diana.

Surprise, Sol came from the future like Lady Serenity and Diana lived there. Why didn't they know Sol and a mysterious soldier named was Sailor Sun, the soldier of the sun? Sailor Sun? Exactly, who was she? There was no soldier who guarded the fiery star which was the sun that was the first-born. Was she also come from Silver Millennium? There were lot mysteries about Sailor Sun.

"Sailor Sun? Not right time? Impossible... And Sailor Soldiers?"

"They already know that."

"I can't believe, Sol."

"Don't tell Ikuko and Princess Lady Serenity I mean Hina."

"I won't. Let's wait until the time is right."

"Yes," Sol said and then noticed at two persons were on way to Game Center Crown, "Huh?! It's them!" Diana turned to look at Ikuko and Hina walking. Diana and Sol walked to them and greeted them.

"Hi! How's school?" Diana greeted. She was talking about different subject. She wouldn't tell Hina and Ikuko about what she heard from Sol.

"Same as boring." Hina said.

"I see."

"Hina? Look!" Hina looked at Ikuko pointing to someone. She turned to look at a girl. It was Saeko. She walked to the park alone.

"Saeko? What is she doing?" Ikuko asked. Hina didn't know what Saeko doing. She didn't know her and asked Ikuko to play game for a while.

In the park, Saeko walked slowly and looked for someone. She looked around and tried to find someone she loved mostly.

"Big Sister!" a cheer voice yelled. It came from beside Saeko's back. Saeko turned to look and smiled happily.

"Oh hi brother!" Saeko said as she smiled happily. She was happy to see her baby brother. She hugged him and looked down at him.

"How's school for you?"

"It's fun. I draw a picture of you and showed to my teacher and the student. I told them that you are the best sister I've ever! You always are there for me whenever I need you. Big sister, I love you!" Saeko's brother explained. Saeko began crying and hugging him so tight.

"Oh, I love you too. I am glad you are my baby brother. Dad and mom will be proud of me if I take care of you very well." Saeko said calmly.

Surprise, she was not mean but she was pure and soft-heart person at all. Something or someone cracked a few sticks in the bushes. Saeko heard something from it and turned to look at the bushes. She put her brother behind her and protected him. She was ready for fighting. She glazed at some bushes.

"Hey whoever you are! Please show yourself!" Saeko yelled to the bushes. Something moved out of the bushes and Saeko was shocked to see. It was Hina and Ikuko.

"Hina? Ikuko? What are you doing?! Why are you spying on me and my brother?! I still won't forgive you!" Saeko yelled to them.

"Calm down. We are sorry that we were spying on you because we thought you were mean." Hina said. Ikuko nodded with her.

"Mean? No way! My big sister is not mean. She's very friendly and kind sister. She always is there for me whenever I need her. She feeds me, takes care of me, and protects me very well. You are so wrong!" Saeko's brother defended.

Saeko looked down at him. Hina and Ikuko shocked what they heard from a brother of Saeko. They couldn't believe they were wrong about Saeko. Saeko gazed at her brother and got happy. She hugged him once again.

Something's flying in the sky and it flew toward to Saeko's brother's back. It hit him so hard but in fact, it knocked him out. Saeko's brother shocked and screamed so pain. He fainted. Saeko, Ikuko, and Hina got shocked.

"Brother! You ok?!" Saeko barked and was worried about him. She tried to wake him up. Ikuko and Hina noticed at something that hit Saeko's brother. It was a little rock. They looked at each other and looked at Saeko. Someone's laughing loudly. Three girls turned to look at a strange creature. It was huge figure. It was made of rock. Saeko got mad and yelled at it.

"How dare you hit my brother! I won't forgive you! Who are you?!" Saeko yelled and got ready for fighting.

"My name is Rockman. I was sent by Black Moon to kill..." Rockman said while he was pointing to Saeko, "...YOU!"

"What?! Kill me?! What the-" Saeko was cut off by Ikuko and Hina got stand in front of her and protected her. Saeko got confuse and didn't know why those girls protected her. Ikuko turned to look at Saeko and told her to get out. Saeko shook her head and said.

"No way! I can fight!" Saeko said. She was very brave fighter. Three girls looked at Rockman. Rockman laughed and glared at them.

Rockman said, "I must eliminate all of you!"

Hina thought, 'Grr... I can't transform in front of Saeko. What am I doing?!'

Ikuko thought, 'Oh no. There is other way we can transform without anyone notice.'

Saeko thought, 'I must defeat Rockman!'

Rockman raised his hand in the air and summoned a huge rock on his hand. He looked at them and threw it toward them. Hina, Ikuko, and Saeko shocked and tried to dodge from it. Ikuko and Hina fell on the ground and looked at Saeko stood there. Saeko began growling as pointed to Rockman.

"You! How dare you attack those girls who try to protect me? I won't forgive you!" Saeko yelled. She still stood there and looked at Rockman. Rockman laughed and summoned another rock.

"Try this!!!" Rockman yelled as he threw it toward Saeko. Saeko got her eyes widen and looked at a rock toward her. She had no choice but defended herself.

Saeko thought, 'What am I doing?! How can I defeat him?!'

Saeko raised her arms to cover her face to defend herself. She closed her eyes and was enough brave to protect her. Something's glowed on her forehead. It's bright. It beamed toward a rock and destroyed it. Ikuko and Hina got shocked to look at Saeko's forehead. Hina realized that something's blue on Saeko's forehead. It was a symbol of Mercury.

Hina thought, 'What?! Mercury?! No way... Saeko is... Sailor Mercury?! I have to awaken her!'

Hina heard two voices from somewhere. She turned to look at Diana and Sol hid inside the bushes. They came out of it and nodded at her. Hina turned to look at Ikuko and told her to transform. Ikuko nodded once.

Saeko tried to open her eyes and got confuse. She thought she was hit by a rock but she wasn't. She didn't understand and looked at Hina and Ikuko ran to her.

Saeko said, "What's going on? Am I dead?"

Hina said, "No, you aren't. Look, you are a Sailor Soldier of Mercury. Take this and call, "Mercury Star Power."

Saeko looked at Hina and began believing in her and took a transformation from her.

"I am... a Sailor Soldier?"

"Yes, you are! Let's transform!" said Hina. Three girls nodded once. They began yelling for transforming.

"Moon Crisis..."

"Moon Prism..."

"Mercury Power..."

"MAKE-UP!!!" three girls shouted together.

Hina and Ikuko transformed into Super Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon. Surprise, Saeko transformed into Sailor Mercury. She got original Sailor Mercury's suit but not same hairstyle. It was long brown hair. Sailor Mercury opened her eyes and looked at her Sailor Soldier suit. She got shocked and shook her head.

"This can't be... I am Sailor Mercury? What's going on?!" Sailor Mercury barked.

"No time for explaining. Go fight!" Diana shouted. Sailor Mercury was shocked and looked at two cats who could talk.

"What?! You talk?! Awe man! Forget it! Let's fight!" Sailor Mercury shouted back. She got ready for fighting alongside with Super Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon. Super Sailor Moon pointed to Rockman and said.

"Rockman, what you did to Saeko's brother was unforgiving! In the name of moon and I will punish you! I am Super Sailor Moon!"

Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury listened to Super Sailor Moon said to Rockman.

Sailor Moon thought, 'Huh? Oh yeah.'

"I am Sailor Moon!"

Sailor Mercury thought, 'Huh? Ok this is very weird. Everything's very weird around me.'

"And I am Sailor Mercury!"

Sailor Mercury tried to think what kinds of attack that original Sailor Mercury used to. She realized something's in her mind. As while Rockman didn't care if they were Sailor Soldiers, he still wanted to destroy them. He summoned another rock. It was a huge rock floated in the air. Rockman threw it toward three Sailor Soldiers. Super Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon looked at a huge rock flew toward them. Sailor Mercury stepped forward beside Super Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon. She looked at them and told them to move back. She turned to look at a huge rock flew toward her. She raised her hands in the air and got ready for attacking.

"Move back! Let me handle it! Sabao Spray Freezing!!!" Sailor Mercury shouted. She used this attack to stop the huge rock in the middle of the air. Its attack was water and ice elements. A huge rock turned in a white ice ball and it fell down by itself. Sailor Mercury sighed happily and glared at Rockman. Rockman shocked and looked at her and began growling. Sailor Mercury clasped her hands and closed her eyes. She was ready for another attack power. Then she opened her eyes and shouted for attack power.

"Sabao..." Sailor Mercury released her hands from clasping and a couple of blue bubbles got together in her hands while she was raising her hand and pointing to Rockman, "... SPRAY!!!"

A couple of blue bubbles released her hands and flew to Rockman. It was not attack. It produced a thick fog that obscures the area, but which the Senshi can see clearly in. It was surrounding of Rockman which couldn't see Sailor Soldiers around him. It was support ability, incapable of directly harming enemies.

Sailor Mercury shouted to Super Sailor Moon.

"Destroy him!" Super Sailor Moon nodded once.

"Get it! Moon Gorgeous..." Super Sailor Moon summoned her weapon to appear in her hand and used to finish Rockman off, "...Meditation!!!" Rockman heard a final attack from Super Sailor Moon and tried to see a glowing light in the fog. He realized it was final attacking. Once again, he got hit from attacking and destroyed him. The fog began fading away. Super Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon stared at Sailor Mercury. They couldn't believe her because she was mean girl but she was Sailor Mercury!

Super Sailor Moon thought, 'So Saeko is... Ami's mother? Wow... she surely is different from Ami. Saeko is very temple... tough... and attribute. Ami is very shy... quiet... and calm. I don't see any commons between Saeko and Ami. Hmm... I will find out.'

She blinked and looked at Sailor Mercury. She gazed at her and Sailor Moon.

Sailor Mercury shouted, "What's wrong with you two? Stop staring at me like that!" Super Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Mercury began laughing. Diana and Sol were standing next to bushes and saw a whole happen. They were happy and relived.

In a hallway in a high school

"WHAT?! You are from the future?! It is so cool!" It was a shout from Saeko. Saeko couldn't believe what she heard from Hina talking to her.

Ikuko stared at Hina and asked her a question.

"Hina? Please honest. What really brings you here?" Ikuko was asking to Hina while she laughed with Saeko. She stopped laughing, turned to Ikuko and noticed how serious Ikuko was. Hina sighed a bit and looked down at the floor.

"To find my people's ancestors and protect them." That was her sentence. No more truths for Ikuko and others. Hina had no choices but told them lies. Lies were one way that Hina must protect for her family or no future goes ahead with her.
