Disclaimers: This is a crossover between Sailor Moon and Danny Phantom. I do not own these two shows. Sailor Moon is written by Naoko Takeuchi in manga form and aired as a series by Toei Animation and TV Asahi in Japan and by Kodansha Comics in North America. Danny Phantom is created by Butch Hartman and aired as an American animated action adventure television series by Nickelodeon in 2004.
Now, girls," addressed Jadeite before asking, "Do you believe that King Endymion IV is alive?
"NANI," shouted the Sailor Senshi in shock.
It was still a tense meeting between both groups. On the one hand, the Outers apologized, but on the other hand, the Inners didn't really have ANYTHING good to say. The shocking part was Sam standing up for Serena, but Tucker and Jazz knew that she had an ulterior motive for saying what she said. They just couldn't figure out if they SHOULD tell Danny about this. When Jadeite asked the girls if they believed that the evil former King of the Earth was alive, the Sailor Senshi nearly busted the ears of the other group with their loud shouts. It was, however, the time that the other group was ignored for information on WHAT the Sailor Senshi knew. "Setsuna, what's the meaning of this," barked out Haruka.
"I-I don't know," said Setsuna, "We already saw the memories of the engagement party through Michiru's mirror."
"That's true," said Ami, "We also identified that it was Metalia's magic that was woven into King Endymion IV by her laugh alone."
"Don't remind me," shivered Minako, "Still remember the battle in the North Pole."
"You went and confronted Metalia," yelped out Jadeite, "I'm surprise you survived!"
"We didn't," said Makoto in a soft voice, "She didn't survive after moon dusting Metalia and Queen Beryl either."
"And why do YOU care," growled Rei, "YOU were the first general under Queen Beryl and Metalia!"
"Which I regret terribly," said Jadeite, "I was still under Metalia's brainwashing, but being in the Eternal Sleep, which is like suspended animation, broke the spell, and well, here I am."
Rei was still glaring fiercely at Jadeite while the other Senshi contemplated on what Jadeite revealed to them. Apparently, Jadeite WAS a good guy, but was bewitched by Metalia's evil magic in the Silver Millennium and was now free of it. Serena was the one who told Jadeite that he was already forgiven from her, making the others look at Serena in surprise. They didn't know that tidbit, but that small tidbit made Rei angrier at her Princess. She was about to yell at Serena, but a look from the reincarnated Aeolian, the reincarnated Klarios, and the reincarnated Gaels made her stop short. The three guys never forgotten that SHE was the main one that would insult Serena's second past life harshly. "I thank you, Serenity-himesama," said Jadeite as his eyes soften when looking at Serena, "But, I still have a long way to go to atone for what I have done to you and to the citizens of Japan."
"And, you are doing that now by helping us defeat my… uh… past father," said Danny with hesitation at the end.
"Dude," said Tucker seriously, "As I said before, that ghost dude is not your dad. Your dad is and always will be Jack Fenton. smirks Besides, I said it once and I'll say it again. We'll defeat this evil with the help of everyone here, be victorious, and have an awesome meat party."
"Meat-Vegan Party," exclaimed Hotaru and Serena before giggling.
"Yeah, yeah," said Tucker with a wave of his hand.
"Meat…," started Michiru.
"Vegan…," said Haruka with a sweatdrop.
"Party," finished the Inners with wide eyes.
"Yes," said Danny with an amused smile, "Sam is an ultra-recyclo-vegetarian while Tucker will eat anything that is meat. The girls decided on a mix for this after party because they, and I'm sure the others, don't want a repeat of the first time Sam and Tucker fought for real."
"What happened the first time," asked a curious Ami.
It was there that Hotaru, Dash, and Kwan told those that weren't at Casper High School at the beginning about the story of a ghost Lunch Lady. They told those that weren't in the known about how Tucker and Sam, in one day, rallied two different protests for meat-lovers and vegans at the school's front yard. While the Sailor Senshi and Jadeite listened to the story with wide eyes and shifting their eyes between Sam and Tucker, Danny was happy that Serena was feeling better, even IF Serena became pale when Minako talked about the North Pole. It may have triggered something within Serena's memories, but it looked like Serena was feeling much better with the fun. Danny had another fond smile on his face as his head was in the crook of Serena's neck, just holding her before kissing lightly on her neck. "Danny," whispered Serena as her cheeks was slowly growing red.
"Sorry," whispered a sheepish Danny who inwardly cheered at seeing a growing red hue on Serena's cheeks, "Just happy you are feeling better."
"I… still am having memories," confessed Serena, "But, somehow, it's not as fast pace as the other two I have gotten."
"Do you want some fresh air," questioned Danny.
"I think I'll be alright," said Serena, "Besides, we have to hear the information, right?"
"But, we can postpone again," questioned Danny.
"That's just us running away, and I thought Phantom doesn't run," questioned Serena with a hint of mirth in her tone.
"I don't," muttered Danny with a fake pout, "But, I do know that I don't want to risk your health."
Before Serena could whisper back to Danny, the couple heard silence all around them. Both blinked as they lifted their heads to see that ALL eyes were trained on them. It seemed as though Hotaru, Kwan, and Dash were done telling their story to the Senshi and Jadeite, with small inputs from Sam and Tucker since THEY were the one who initiated the protests. Both owlishly stared at room before turning slightly red in embarrassment. Tucker and Sam fake gagged while Dash was holding in his anger. Jadeite smiled widely with Hotaru as Kwan placed a hand on Dash's shoulder to stop him from doing something stupid. The Sailor Senshi had mixed responses to what they saw between Danny and Serena as Jazz cooed inwardly at how much love she could see between the two. "If we can get back to the task at hand," said a sarcastic Haruka.
"Sorry," said the couple.
"It's fine, you two," said Jazz with a smile, "Your relationship is still at the new stage. Probably within the next few months, you both won't feel all lovey-dovey, but will still be in love with each other. There are case studies about…"
"Thank you, Jazz," said Sam sarcastically before turning seriously, "But, we have something to discuss, yes?"
"Right," said a sheepish Jazz, "Sorry."
"So…," said Makoto who wanted to direct the conversation back to before the sidetracked discussion, "King Endymion IV?"
"Yes," said Jadeite, "King Endymion IV is alive and revived me with the help of a vampiric person that has sky-blue skin, black hair that is styled in a horn-like U-shape, and a black goatee."
With that description, Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Jazz all groaned. They knew exactly WHO Jadeite was talking about because how could they not? All of them fought this… half-ghost… for almost all their lives, from the start of Danny's ghost heroics as Phantom. Serena looked a bit curious, but Danny whispered that it had to do with his… ah… secret identity. Serena just nodded her head as she hugged Danny around his waist, or as much as she could since she WAS sitting on his lap. Danny was just happy that Serena was very understanding and never questioned what he mysteriously does unless HE wants to… or if Hotaru is the one that is questioning him. The others, however, were wondering if the four knew just who Jadeite was talking about. Looking at the four, it was Tucker that got up and went to get Danny's laptop, which didn't take that long. "Did you HAVE to grab my laptop," questioned Danny, "Jazz has the same information on hers."
"Sorry, little brother," said Jazz, "But, my laptop is in the shop to get it repaired after the last ghost attack."
"Right," said Danny, "I forgot that Technus did a number on your laptop when he was gathering tech to build his so-called newest armor."
"Technus," questioned Michiru.
"Another ghost," said an off-handed Dash.
"Just how many ghosts go through here," questioned a surprised Minako.
"Too many to count," said Kwan.
"Anyways," said Tucker as he turned the laptop to Jadeite, "Is this him?"
There, on the screen, was Vlad in his Plasmius form. Only the picture was blown up and wasn't showing any information that could get Danny in trouble with Vlad for spilling his secret. Though, that didn't matter as they saw Jadeite's eyes widen in shock. Jadeite nodded his head once before turning the laptop back to Tucker. Tucker just groaned once more before telling everyone just WHO this ghost was. The Senshi, Jadeite, Hotaru, Dash, and Kwan looked surprised when Tucker just sprouted everything the four knew about the ghost. Everyone, however, could see that Serena was just having her eyes closed, not really bothering to listen to Tucker's ramblings. "So, this Plasmius," said Minako, "Does Serena know who this person is?"
"No," said Danny, "And if I had my way, she would NEVER meet that Fruitloop either."
"Fruitloop," questioned Setsuna.
"Yeah," said Jazz slowly, "We don't know why, but he's crazy. He is always trying to get Danny to become his evil apprentice for some reason, kill our dad, and get it on with our mom."
"That… really is a crazed Fruitloop," said Jadeite, "And I thought Queen Beryl was bad."
No one, but Danny, could see/feel that Serena stiffened when Jadeite said Queen Beryl, but as quickly as she froze, she relaxed on Danny, albeit paler than when they started this whole meeting. Danny just wrapped his arms tighter around Serena before glaring into the air. If Plasmius comes here, then he was ready to defend Serena and everyone else, even IF he has to reveal his secret identity as Phantom. Tucker, Jazz, and Sam all nodded their heads, yet all three were wondering why Serena looked like she wasn't listening. However, no one could question Serena on why her eyes were closed and looking like she wasn't listening because it was Danny that directed the conversation back to his so-called past father. "So, King Endymion IV is alive," said Danny, "The ghost, Plasmius is working with him. So the question is…?"
"The questions would be," said Setsuna, "Where King Endymion IV is and how many Youma he has revived already."
"Don't forget," pointed out Kwan, "If he also recruited the ghosts that run amuck here in Amity Park."
"I think the most concerning question would be," said Rei haughtily, "Is WHY we have been having different memories when we were ALWAYS so sure that Odango and Prince Endymion V were engaged."
"Will you STOP calling my little sister that word," bite out Dash with a glare.
"But. Rei-chan has a point," said Minako before raising her hands up in surrender when Dash's glare directed at her, "The word notwithstanding. "
"Hai," said Michiru, "Even Setsuna-san had the same memories as us Senshi, and SHE'S the Guardian of Time."
"So, let me get this straight," said Sam who was gathering any information to use against her being this Ashara girl, "You ALL have memories about her points to Serena past self with this Prince Endymion?"
"Yes," said the Senshi together.
"So, it doesn't mean that OUR dreams are the true one," said Sam with a smirk.
The Reincarnates, Jazz, and Jadeite all groaned once more as Sam was about to go on about how the dreams THEY were receiving was not the truth. The Senshi was taken aback though when Sam DID start going on about how their dreams they were getting were just fanatical and not true, that the Senshi's OTHER memories were the truth. Rei was about to help Sam, but a hand from Makoto over her mouth prevented her from doing anything rash. Apparently, there are TWO hot-headed people who think their way is the right way. It wasn't until everyone could feel the shift in the air. Everyone turned silent as the Senshi stood up with their particular henshin (transformation) pens in their hands. Danny looked like he was about to transform with Serena still in his arms, but before he could, everyone was suddenly falling through different black portals that magically opened underneath different groups.
- For A Few Moments –
"Setsuna," growled Haruka, "What was THAT all about?!"
"It was not my doing, Haruka," said Setsuna as she groaned from where she landed.
Once everyone fell through the portals, there was loud shouting as they fell. Danny was really tempted to transform, but it seemed like when he tried, the powers weren't working. Danny held Serena close to his body as the both fell together. He could also see Kwan and Dash coming together to protect Hotaru while Jazz, Sam, and Tucker held hands together to try to stay together. Jadeite just sighed as if he was used to these dark portals. The Senshi were yelling, but it sounded like they were yelling at a fellow Senshi for doing something without their say so. Upon seeing the ground, everyone braced for landing. The Senshi fell into a heap together as Jadeite landed in a crouch. Danny was the same, with Serena in his arms, as he winced when he saw the pile of Jazz, Sam, Tucker, Dash, Kwan, and Hotaru. Though, Hotaru WAS the only one sitting on top of the pile of limbs. Once the Reincarnates disentangled themselves, they could hear the other Senshi questioning Setsuna, yet Setsuna's refute was also heard. "If it wasn't you, then who," questioned Ami.
"And, why are we in a clock tower," questioned Makoto.
"Clock tower," echoed Danny, Sam, and Tucker.
"Something you want to tell us," questioned Hotaru with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah," said Danny who placed Serena gently on her feet, "This clock tower is the home of Clockwork, a ghost that overseer the time stream, though I think his is a bit different from Setsuna's occupation."
"Very astute, my apprentice," said a male voice.
The Senshi, to the shock of the others with them, sprang into action quickly. They righted themselves as fast as possible with glares on their faces. The others turned to where the voice was to see a male wearing a violet-cloaked, his face pale blue, a scar across his left eye, and a clock-like mechanism embedded in his chest. He was also holding onto a time staff in his right hand. Danny sighed and nodded to the person in front of them with acknowledgement. Serena smiled at the new comer, but she was a bit hidden behind Danny's body. The others were just wondering WHY he brought them here. "Clockwork, I presume," questioned Michiru.
"Yes," said Clockwork as he changed, to the shock of everyone besides those that already knew him, into a child.
"Why have you brought us here," questioned Kwan.
"It was not I who has brought you here," said Clockwork, "That magic is not within my capabilities."
"Then," questioned Jazz, "Do you know who?"
"Of course," said Clockwork, "She has been hidden within plain sight within my tower. It was also SHE who used her magic to bring you all here."
"She," questioned everyone.
"Yes," said a female voice, so familiar to the Senshi, though Serena and Hotaru's familiarizations were unconsciously, "She."
It was there and then that the Senshi and Jadeite got the shock out of their lives. There, in the shadows, a female stepped out. This female, to the point of view of others who didn't know her, was glowing silver instead the original color that ghosts in the ghost zone glowed. She was slender with fair skin and bright silver eyes, her long silvery-white hair done up in, what Rei called Serena, odango (dumplings). She was also wearing a white dress with a bow on the top, a gold crescent brooch adorned on the bow. Yet, the most distinguished thing to this woman was the golden-colored crescent moon on her forehead. "S-S-Serenity-j-j-joōsama (Queen Serenity)," shouted the Senshi and Jadeite as they rushed to kneel in front of her.
"W-W-WHAT," shouted the Reincarnates and Jazz together.
AN: Ah~… I shall stop here. (・・；) I know you would like me to make it longer, but I have to think on WHAT the Queen will reveal in the next chapter, and that will take time. (╥_╥) Especially when my head wants to push this writer's block away from this story. (T⌓T) At least, Sam and Rei WILL not have the power to complain after everything is shown and explained to the group. (´∀｀；) Since, you know… this IS a queen.（＾ω＾）You gotta respect the queen, right? (¬‿¬) Anyways, happy reading and see ya next chapter! |∀･)ジ
