Serena's Misfortune, Watch Out For Rushing Clock.
In the Dark Kingdom Eggman's ship approached the Dark Castle.
"Woah!" Scratch went gawking at the design. "It's shaped like a black skull!"
"Are you sure you want to get involved with this kind of Queen Dr. Eggman?" Grounder asked.
"Are you kidding me!" Eggman laughed. "A Queen who has a skull castle is my kind of woman!"
A minion was motioning at Eggman's ship to direct it to where to land.
"Land where that guy is!" Dr. Eggman pointed.
Scratch pushed buttons on the ship's helm and it landed to where Jadeite directed.
"Ok let's go!" Eggman said. He, Scratch, and Grounder exited the ship and followed a servant to Beryl's throne room. They were brought into the throne room and just then Dr. Eggman's miniature computer had a message and Dr. Eggman read it.
"Power source stronger." It said.
"So the power source has gotten stronger." Eggman said. "I guess there is another one of those girls then."
"Presenting!" Announced the servant "Queen of the Dark Kingdom herself, Beryl!"
"Welcome Dr. Eggman." Beryl welcomed "To the Dark Kingdom!"
"You seem to know much about me!" Eggman said suspicious.
"I guess you know why we're here then." Scratch said.
"Yes." Beryl said. "You seek the power of the Floating Island, you can also make animals into robots."
"Oh where have I forgotten my manners!" Eggman said changing to a more polite tone. "These are my failure robot servants Scratch and Grounder."
"Yeah but I'm his favorite!" Scratch said.
"No I am!" Grounder argued.
"SHUT UP!" Eggman yelled.
"I have a moronic servant as well." Beryl laughed.
"Queen I have bad news." Jadeite said, magically appearing. "I'm afraid that there is now a new enemy, Sailor Mercury."
"No!" Beryl screamed.
"So it's true." Eggman said. "The power does reside in little girls."
"Dr. Eggman I presume?" Jadeite said.
"Whoa what happened to you?" Scratch said, looking at his bruised face.
"None of your business what caused this!" Jadeite snarled.
"Fine be that way." Grounder grumbled.
"These girl's names are Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury." Jadeite continued.
"Helps that I know who I'm hunting." Eggman said.
"You have high knowledge of robotic technology." Beryl said, flattering the scientist.
"You're the one who sent those robots!" Jadeite said happily, he finally learned where the robots came from.
"Yes I have my I.Q. of 300." Eggman laughed. "So what's your interest with me?"
"You have tremendous knowledge and power." Beryl said. "I wish to combine forces and we can help you acquire those sailor nuisances so you can gain the power of the Floating Island."
"What's your interest with the Sailors anyway?" Jadeite asked.
"It seems that they have great power but it's not as strong as the Island's power, if I can capture them." Eggman explained as he felt happy to tell the next part. "Hmhmhmhmhm I will alter them and they will become my robot slaves and work under me! I will conquer the Island with relative ease!"
"We wish to take energy to revive our ruler!" Beryl said. "We have trouble seeking the magic crystal that makes it possible, but luckily we have other ways. My servant before you, his name is Jadeite. I have given him this task but he keeps failing me!"
"It's not my fault though!" Jadeite complained. "It's those annoying Sailor Warriors!"
"Maybe you would like some help taking them down?" Scratch mocked.
"I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!" Jadeite screamed. "I'LL HANDLE THIS MYSELF!"
"FINE BE THAT WAY!" Scratch and Grounder screamed together.
"So you have a successful plan then?" Beryl said.
"Yes." Jadeite said. "Humans place they're lives on a schedule."
"Yes we put our energy and effort into our time." Eggman added.
"I can put a spell on the people and then they can give us their energy by living their lives."
"Go then and do not fail me!" Beryl ordered harshly.
"Yes my Queen" Jadeite bowed and he left.
"So I guess I will work on my Ultimate Weapons." Eggman said walking towards his ship.
"What are these weapons?" Beryl inquired.
"One of them is a weapon of mass destruction, the other is a robot built to dispatch my arch nemesis but as long as he is not here with this robot no person on earth can stop me!" Eggman said with an evil smile.
"They were beaten before but now we are repairing them and remodeling them." Scratch explained.
"I see." Beryl said.
Eggman walked back to his ship and he entered it, he then began to work on one of his secret weapons.
In the city Ami and Serena were in the shopping district.
"Oh my, this is amazing!" Ami cheered
"I take it you've never been to a place like this?" Serena asked.
"Kind of." Ami said. "I read all about it in books."
"Ami." Serena laughed. "You are still young and you have a lot to learn. Come on." Serena leaped out to a street corner "Lets have as much fun as we can window-shopping!" They both went to many different stores looking at many different things, they even went to a bookstore Ami and Serena both picked up both of their kinds of books. They both took a look at each other's and were baffled at how Ami's were all words and Serena's were all comics. Soon they stopped window-shopping and took a moment to rest.
"Geez I'm tired." Serena huffed.
"Hey look at that!" Ami said pointing at a clock shop across the street.
"Wow." Serena said, gawking at the huge crowd of people in front of the store. "Fifty to seventy percent off? That's too good to be true! Let's go in."
"Sorry." Ami said. "But I already have a watch given to me by my mother."
"Come on!" Serena said, pulling on Ami's arm. "We're just looking." And in the shop they went. They looked at all the clocks and watches, and noticed that they were all so cheap.
"Hey!" Serena said, noticing an alarm clock that's shaped like a black cat. "It looks just like Luna!"
"You like that clock?" Asked the store attendant. "It's a real bargain!"
"Yes." Serena said. "I'll buy it! But when she looked in her purse it only had a thousand-yen in it."
"NO!" Serena panicked. "It maybe cheap but my purse can't take it!"
"Don't cry!" Ami said. "If you want I can come and get you in the morning!"
"Oh thank you Ami, I love you!" She jumped to Ami and gave her a hug. Shopping was over and Ami and Serena parted and went home.
Meanwhile in the forest, Sonic was pondering something and Tails was returning to Sonic from taking a walk in the forest.
"Hey Sonic!" Tails said. "What are you thinking about?"
"It's that guy." Sonic said. "Who we beat up the other day."
"What about him?" Tails asked.
"Remember when I said that we might need the chaos emeralds for something bigger than Eggman?"
"Yeah." Tails said.
"And not only that it seems that the robots are getting more and more aggressive." Sonic said.
"True." Tails agreed.
"We may have a much bigger fight on our hands now." Sonic said.
"But I do know one thing." Tails said.
"What?" Sonic asked.
"We need to find an easier way to see if Eggman's making a move."
"I guess." Sonic said. "I can tell that simply looking from the top of trees won't work every time."
"Let's hope for the best." Tails said.
When Serena arrived home her father was doing some home improvement in the kitchen.
"Oh Serena." Mother said walking inside. "I went to the new clock shop and I have a surprise for you!" She held out a small gift box. Serena opened it and inside was that same cat clock.
"Yes!" Serena cheered.
"I've known that you have been late for school lately." Mother said. "So I got this for you."
"Thank you so much mom!" She ran inside her room and took out the clock. Of course Luna was there.
"Hey Luna." Serena said. "This clock looks just like you!"
"How does that look just like me?" Luna said disgustedly. "I'm much better looking."
"Sure." Serena said winding the clock. "Since Ami will be here tomorrow I won't have to worry about being late." She finished winding the clock and sat it next to her bed, then Serena turned in for the night.
When everyone was asleep and when the clock struck midnight the face of the clock began to glow it woke Luna up but everyone was still asleep, Luna walked into the parents bedroom and noticed that the clock in they're room started to glow as well.
"I wonder what this is?" Thought Luna suspiciously.
The next morning, Ami showed up at Serena's and rang the doorbell. Mother answered it.
"Hello Ami." Mother said.
"Is Serena still sleeping?" Ami asked.
"Actually she already left." Mother said.
"What?" Ami said stunned. "But it's only 7:00!"
"Actually her brother had also left before then to!"
"AAAAAAH I'M LATE!" Father screamed running out the door with a piece of toast in his mouth.
"Oh yeah." Mother said. "I have vacuuming, sweeping to do, and it's almost dinnertime." Mother shut the door. She seemed like she's in such a rush. Ami went off to school and many students and teachers acted with such impatience.
Ms. Haruna was pacing the floor and she noticed that most of her students hadn't shown up yet.
"They're late." She grumbled.
"I can't wait." Molly said. "I'll go out and get them!"
"No!" Ms. Haruna objected harshly. "You can study on your own. It's 8:00 and most of the students are still missing, besides I got four dates today." Then Ms. Haruna ran out the door.
"I can't stay here!" Molly complained.
"Me neither!" Melvin complained.
"I just need to eat lunch then I'm out of here!" Serena said but Melvin and Molly already left.
Ami was walking down the street and people were being pushy and forceful that they seemed like they were in a rush. Not only that, shop doors flew they're doors open way earlier than they should.
"Ami!" Luna called running up to her with the cat clock tied to her back.
"Luna what are you doing here?" Ami asked.
"Something strange is going on." Luna said. "I think this clock has something to do with it."
"Let's look at it." Ami said, She and Luna sat on a nearby bench at the park and Ami began to inspect the clock.
"What am I looking for?" Ami said.
"Here take this!" Luna whirled in the air and miniature computer that was no bigger than a Nintendo D.S.
"What's this?" Ami asked.
"It's a miniature computer." Luna explained. "It's useful for analyzing and calculating things! Take it, I mean Serena would never know how to use it anyway. When you're Sailor Mercury press on one of your earrings and you can use it then to."
"Thanks Luna." Ami said.
"Well aren't you going to check the clock?" Luna asked.
"Right." she said she opened up the clock and a ball of white magic flew out of it, another odd thing was inside the clock, there were no gears or wires.
"I thought so." Luna said. "This is no ordinary clock."
"This big build of impatiens must be connected" Ami said.
Later people began to rush all around in their cars, it was so bad that in the middle of a four way intersection was a 30 car wreck in all, four ways. But all the people were more worried about getting to where they needed to be on time than the wreckage. While people worried about they're schedules, energy left the people and went to the clock store and it was being collected by the store's cuckoo clock.
"Good." The store attendant said. "Clock get us our energy!" Then Jadeite appeared right next to her.
"Well Ramua." Jadeite snickered. "You sure can manipulate time!"
"Thank you master." Ramua said.
"Be careful the Sailor Warriors will show up because of the commotion."
A bus that Serena was riding was stuck in the back of the wreckage.
"Will you hurry up!" Screamed an angry rider.
"Hey you think you're the only one in a rush?" Argued the driver.
"Well you are the driver!" Serena yelled. "Use your brain!"
"Fine!" The driver argued. He then recklessly moved onto the sidewalk luckily people were able to move away in time, a big bus speeding on a sidewalk is hard to not notice. A woman pressed the signal stop on the bus.
"I want to stop here!" The woman yelled and people were flying around inside. "STOP THE BUS!"
"Sorry." The driver laughed. "But this is a non-stop movement!"
At the park Ami called the school on a pay phone, no one answered.
"Weird." Ami said. "No one at school is answering the phone."
"I guess we will need to start looking for Serena then." Luna said. Just then they both heard a vehicle crash around the corner. They both ran around the corner and saw the same crazy bus which crashed into a street land and a newspaper dispenser.
The door opened and all the passengers exited the bus, so did Serena.
"Serena!" Ami called.
"Oh Ami, Luna!" Serena said being approached by the others.
"We got to go to the clock shop, that's where the enemy is!" Ami explained. They both rushed to the clock store, which was now closed.
"Ok let's go!" Serena said, beginning to rush inside.
"No." Luna said. "You can't! The enemy is probably waiting for us!"
"I don't care!" Serena said loudly. "I got so much to do I just want to finish this!"
"Let's go through the back." Ami said, thinking strategically.
"NO FRONT! IT'S MUCH CLOSER!" Serena demanded.
"You are clearly under a spell." Luna sighed.
"Come on Ami let's transform!"
"Now?" Luna said in shock.
"Moon Prism Power Make Up!"
"Mercury Power Make Up!"
Sailor Moon and Mercury rushed to the store and Serena used the Tiara to break down the door.
"Moon Tiara Action!"
The door blew open and the warriors ran inside Luna attempted to follow them but the door self sealed itself and it closed Luna out.
"I'm so unlucky." Luna moaned. Sailor Mercury and Sailor Moon dashed down the hallway of the store. They flung the door open and saw the store attendant.
"We are here to fight you!" Said Sailor Moon and Mercury. "Are the warriors of love and Justice Sailor Moon!"
"Likewise Sailor Mercury!"
"I was expecting visitors." The attendant said with a sinister tone.
"I can't tolerate a person who messes with a girl's precious time!" Sailor Moon said. "In the name of the moon, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil, and that means you!"
"Hmmm." The attendant snickered, she changed into the monster Ramua. She wore a red dress and she had pale white skin with black lines around her yellow eyes, she also had black hair.
"Let me show you your final resting place!" Ramua threatened she worked her magic and a gate to another dimension opened in the door to the cuckoo clock, and she floated inside it.
"Let's get her!" Sailor Moon said defiantly
"Ok." Sailor Mercury said and they both ran into the gate after Ramua. They ran out a door shaped clock, the dimension had weird clock shapes everywhere and the area was a mixture of green and black.
"Where is she!" Sailor Moon grumbled. "HEY, YOUR BEING A COWARD HIDING AND NOT SHOWING YOURSELF TO US!"
"I'm right here!" Ramua said as a disembodied voice. "Come get me!"
"FINE!" Sailor Moon shouted. "Getting ready to start looking for her."
"No Sailor Moon, she must have a trap set for us!" Sailor Mercury warned. She pushed on one of her earrings and a visor appeared over her eyes. Sailor Moon ran forward and kicked a clock shaped door open. When they both entered the room Mercury took out the computer and analyzed the surroundings.
"What's that?" Sailor Moon asked, pointing at the computer.
"This is a computer." Sailor Mercury said. "Luna gave it to me a while back."
"Cool." Sailor Moon said, walking through the door. "Ok!" She shouted pointing her finger upwards, "I am here to defeat you and…." Sailor Mercury began to notice that Serena began to shrink but it wasn't a simple loss of height she was aging backwards. Sailor Mercury reached for Sailor Moon and pulled her back through the door. Sailor Moon changed back to normal.
"Whoa that was scary!" Sailor Moon said just realizing what happened.
"Apparently in this room." Sailor Mercury said typing on her computer. "Time can speed up or slow down."
"So if we're not careful we can become Sailor Grannies?" Sailor Moon said with fear.
Back in the clock store Tuxedo Mask snuck inside through an open window.
"They're not here either." Tuxedo Mask thought.
"So did you find something out yet?" Sailor Moon asked, Sailor Mercury was typing on her computer.
"Apparently this place is built like an inner maze." Sailor Mercury explained.
"So where is she?" Sailor Moon asked happily.
"They're a 78% chance that she's that way!" Sailor Mercury pointed. Then they both ran off towards a direction the whole room looked alike everywhere you looked it was hard to say exactly where they were going. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury kept going and soon they found Ramua.
"Congratulations." Ramua snickered. "You've finally found me. But you will not progress further! This is where you die!"
"Not today!" Sailor Moon shouted. She charged at Ramua but her legs became weak and she fell.
"What's going on?" She said sluggishly "I can't move my legs!"
"My clock is draining your energy!" Ramua laughed.
"Clock?" Sailor Mercury wondered.
"Now it's time for you to die!" Ramua laughed as she took out a spear and tried to stab Sailor Moon in the head, but even though Sailor Moon couldn't move her body she could still move her head. So he moved her head but her cheek got cut.
"Sailor Moon!" Sailor Mercury panicked and attempted to help her.
"You interfered for the last time!" Ramua shouted she shot a beam of energy at Sailor Mercury and it hit, she became paralyzed.
"I can't move!" Mercury panicked.
"Yes." Ramua laughed. "I stopped your time! Now watch helplessly while I take down Sailor Moon!" Ramua kept trying to stab Sailor Moon's head but she kept moving out of the way in time.
Back at the outside of the clock, Tuxedo Mask was standing right outside the clock, he heard the cries of Sailor Moon and he threw a rose at the clock's face and destroyed it.
Back in the dimension the spell that was placed on the Sailors was broken, and Ramua was getting weak.
"No my energy!" Ramua cried.
"Yes!" Sailor Mercury cheered. "We can fight now!" Both she and Sailor Moon readied they're attacks.
"Bubble Spray!"
The fog appeared and Ramua was blinded.
"Moon Tiara Action!"
The Tiara flew and it destroyed Ramua, and the clock shop faded into nothing, Sailor Moon and Mercury were back in Japan, the energy returned and the rush spell was broken.
The next day
Serena and Ami were walking home from school.
"I never want to get so stressed like that ever again!" Serena laughed.
"Hey Serena!" Molly called from behind. "The bakery is having a speed eating contest!"
"I'm there!" Serena cheered as she began to run but she tripped and got hurt.
"It hurts!" She cried.
"I guess her personality will never change." Ami laughed.
