Cursed Buses, Mars Appears
In the Dark Kingdom Beryl was briefing on some serious matters. Of course Eggman and his two lackeys were there as well.
"If those troublemakers from earth get the silver crystal we're looking for before we do, this will create a serious problem!" Beryl shouted. "Our kingdom alone should be able to have the crystal, I will show no mercy to anyone who tries to hinder our Dark Kingdom!"
Jadeite of course was the one getting all this, Eggman was just sitting in the back listening and Scratch and Grounder were snickering at Jadeite for being scolded by the queen for his repeated failure.
"Have you yet been able to find the crystal?" Beryl asked.
"Sorry my queen." Jadeite bowed.
"You have failed on several missions but I will now give you a chance to redeem yourself." Scratch and Grounder began to laugh at Jadeite.
"Fine." Jadeite grumbled approaching Eggman. "I guess I have no choice, Eggman I will require your assistance on this."
"Good." Beryl said. "This will double our chances of success! If you can't get energy, then Eggman can capture them."
"Here take this!" Eggman said, giving him a small remote with a red button on it. "Push this button, and I will come to your side, since my robots have been utterly useless in this matter I will deal with them myself."
"Don't forget us your putridness!" Scratch pleaded. "Take us with you!"
"Whatever." Eggman shrugged. "I guess I could use some spare parts if my robot goes haywire."
"I understand." Jadeite said. "I guess I will."
"Collect energy." Beryl ordered. "And also find those sailor warriors and kill them!"
"Or do not." Eggman said. "I can really use them in my robot army!"
"Yes my lady." Jadeite said. "And when the time comes I will call you Eggman." With that Jadeite left.
"Scratch, Grounder!" Eggman called. "Let us return to the base and ready the Egg Spider!" Then Eggman and his henchmen left.
Back in Japan Police were rushing down the road somewhere and Serena was walking down the street with Luna.
"Did something happen?" Serena wondered. But her attention was cut short because she saw Ami standing at the bus stop.
"Hey Ami!" Serena called.
"Oh hi." Ami said as Luna ran up to her arms.
"Where are you going?" Serena asked.
"Cram school." Ami said.
"You take the bus to go to cram school?" Serena asked.
"Well." Ami shrugged. "If it's good for a good cram school, I would even take a plane. Being a sailor warrior I have to study hard and gain more knowledge to help Luna!"
"You're the best!" Luna praised. Then she gave Serena a smug look. "When you compare hat to someone else."
"Ohhh hahahaha!" Serena laughed trying to act innocent. Just then another cop car raced by.
"Hey!" Molly said racing up the sidewalk next to them. "Do you know the story behind this bus, that apparently a bus that had some passengers disappeared recently?"
"Wow sounds like fun!" Serena cheered.
"No it's not!" Molly objected. "You know there's a bus stop ahead called Sendaizaka Ue, right?"
"That's right!" Ami said. "I heard that a bus went to that stop with about 50 passengers, it suddenly disappeared, the police suspected it to be a mass kidnapping! The police tried to hide it but the news came out today."
"Scary!" Serena said. "Which reminds me, do you know the Hikawa Shrine near Sendaizaka? They're famous for their amulets that ward off evils, maybe we should buy one!"
"Yeah." Molly said. "I heard the daughter who lives there has psychic powers, and has very accurate fortune telling!"
"Serena, can you buy one for me?" Ami asked.
"Why don't you just come with us?" Serena asked.
"Because I have cram school." Ami explained. "I also have an important test coming up."
"Fine." Serena sighed, she then left and she soon arrived at the Hikawa Shrine It looked like an old Shinto shrine with changeling bells and ravens flying everywhere. Girls were everywhere praying for they're futures.
And a suspicious person who appears to live at the shrine was sweeping.
"Pay more thought to the man and fill your heart with the energy of burning desire." Thought the man, apparently this man is really Jadeite.
Inside the shrine a pretty young girl in a red and white kimono dress, and long black hair was praying at a big flame.
"Something evil is coming, coming closer!" She said.
Just then a very short old man approached the young girls who were praying.
"Hey ladies!" The old man said flirting with them. "How would you like to join this temple as shrine maidens?"
"Sorry." The girls said. "We're buying love charms."
"I know, I know." The old man said. "I was just kidding!" He then began to laugh hysterically. He checked his watch "It's 5:30 Perfect!" He took a stick with paper on the end in hand. "Now I will perform a ceremony so that your love will come true." He began waving it around. "O God of flames! Please make sure these girl's thoughts reach their boys, and make their wishes come true!"
Then he stopped. "You girls come from far away, right?" The old man asked. "Why don't you buy a fortune?"
"Thank you for all your concern!" The girls said. "But no thanks" Then they all dashed off bothered and disturbed. Just then Serena and Molly arrived of course Luna was with them.
"You girls are pretty!" The old man said. "Wanna work part time as a shrine maiden?"
"Grandpa!" Said the same girl who sensed the evil. "Stop hitting on girls already!"
"Oh Rei!" Grandpa said.
"There are rumors about you going around in the neighborhood!" Rei said.
"Wow!" Serena said. "She looks cool and so pretty! So this is the shrine maiden!"
Just then the girls from before were walking down the stairs and Jadeite was hiding in some nearby bushes and he cast a spell on the girls and Rei sensed it.
"I sense dark magic." Rei said. "An Evil spirit? You can try to bring misfortune to our shrine, But I won't let you!" She pulled out an ofuda "Begone evil spirit!" Called out Rei and she slapped the ofuda on Serena's face. She just fell over and nothing happened.
"Serena!" Molly panicked.
"That wasn't supposed to happen!" Rei said. Later when the mess was cleared up they were invited to go inside the shrine for tea.
Soon Jadeite brought the water for the tea. When he opened the door Molly began to fawn over him.
"I think I've seen him before." Luna said looking at Jadeite.
"He's handsome!" Molly said just then Serena jumped and looked around.
"Where's the handsome man!" she cooed.
"I can't believe how your mind works" Luna thought as Jadeite left
"Who was the old guy?" Molly asked.
"My Grandpa." Rei sighed. "He likes to hit on everybody regardless of gender. So you're Serena? Sorry about that, I've been sensing evil, my sixth sense is going haywire."
"Sixth sense?" Luna thought. "Is she the princess I'm looking for?" Just then an angry woman came to the door.
"You!" She snapped at Rei. "My daughter came to buy amulets from you but she never came home! Did you make her go on the haunted bus?"
"Don't make accusations!" Rei said. "A policeman investigated here, everything checked out but if you want to report someone as missing, just go to the police! It has nothing to do with my grandpa, or me so GET OUT!"
"How rude." The woman said, she stormed out, and soon so did Serena and Luna. Molly went home.
"I think the shrine must be connected to the disappearances." Luna said. "Call Ami and investigate the bus stop."
After a while Serena and Ami met up a block away from the haunted bus stop.
"So this is the stop." Ami said.
"Woah!" Serena pointed at the stop and there was a very huge line of girls. They all had amulets from the Hikawa shrine. They approached the girls and they were like zombies, they didn't react to anything that Serena or Ami did to get their attention.
"Hey!" Ami said pointing down the road. "It's the bus!" They observed the bus closely. "Looks like an ordinary bus." The bus pulled up to the stop and opened its doors and the girls walked on board, the driver looked suspicious and ominous.
"Well Serena." Ami said, pushing her to the bus. "Get on!"
"I don't wanna!" Serena said.
"Come on! Be brave!" Ami said, but Serena just grabbed a nearby sign and started to cry. The bus doors closed and it drove off.
"I can't believe you, Serena you're such a coward!" Ami sighed. "Oh well." Ami "I guess we'll try again tomorrow. Wait a tic!" She and Serena looked at the bus, it started to rise into the air, and the atmosphere started to become wavy and a black portal opened in front of the bus and it flew inside it and when the portal disappeared the atmosphere became normal.
On the bus the passengers were in some strange dimensions that only had vast blue fields as far as the eye could see The passengers were all asleep.
"Good job." Said the voice of Jadeite. "Now extract the energy slowly." And the driver got a devilish look on her face and began to work some evil magic on the people.
Back at the Hikawa Shrine Rei was feeding the Ravens that flock the place.
"Hey Rei!" Serena called running up the stairs with Luna. "I saw the bus disappear!"
"So you think me and grandpa are responsible for this?" Rei snapped.
"No." Serena said. "I thought maybe you knew something about it!"
"I don't." Rei snapped.
"I'm sorry I just wanted to be friends" Serena whimpered.
"Please leave!" Rei ordered. And Serena and Luna left. Rei looked and she found a red stick similar to what Ami had, where Luna was standing.
Over at the counter more girls were buying more charms from Jadeite.
Rei looked at Jadeite and began to have suspicious thoughts. "Hmmm, ever since he came here we have had more visitors, but my prophesies and the disappearances came with him." Rei began to pray at her big flame and Jadeite knocked on the door and opened it.
"I brought you your meal." Jadeite said.
"Leave!" Rei ordered. "I cannot concentrate!"
"Sorry." Jadeite said closing the door.
Serena was back at the bus stop as the bus approached.
"Come on." Luna said. "You need to get on the bus anyways."
"But I don't wanna!" Serena cried.
"Just get on!" Luna said.
"But Ami's not here!" Serena cried.
"Come on!" Luna said. As the bus stopped and started taking passengers, Serena grabbed the sign again and started crying, Luna began to pull on her skirt with her teeth. "Don't be such a baby!"
"I'm scared! No!" Serena cried.
"Come on the bus is leaving!" Luna said.
"Oh wait I know what to do!" Serena said, coming out of her fear. She jumped out and flipped Luna off her. She took out the pen.
"Moon Power! Turn Me Into A Cool Bus Attendant!"
She had an outfit that looked quite similar to a flight attendant's.
"This will make me less scared." Serena said.
"Why?" Luna sighed. With that Serena and Luna leaped onto the bus.
"Hey!" Serena said, seeing all the passengers asleep. "I'm here to make sure that no passengers get hurt on your bus ride!" The driver smirked and closed the door. The bus began to drive and it flew up into the dark portal just like before.
Ami was chasing after the bus but it disappeared before she could get to it.
"No I'm too late!" Ami panicked.
Back at the Hikawa Shrine, Rei was still praying at the flame.
"Fire." Rei said. "Show me the culprit to these disasters!" The fire roared and it showed Rei the Image of Jadeite. She jumped and ran towards the door and hurried to Jadeite's room. "So! You're the root of all this evil!"
"What do you mean?" Jadeite asked, acting innocent.
"Don't play dumb!" Rei snapped. "I figured it out you're the instigator!"
Jadeite just laughed evilly. "So you found out. For that I will bring you down!" Then Jadeite opened the portal himself and he threw Rei into it and closed the portal.
Inside the dimension Serena was launched out from the bus and the driver flipped out and Rei fell from the air and the driver caught her, and the driver turned into a creature with brown skin red hair and big yellow eyes, it also wore black armor.
"Rei!" Serena cried.
"Serena transform into Sailor Moon!" Luna ordered.
"Oh." Serena cried. "I don't want to but ok."
"Ohhhhhhh." Luna sighed.
"Moon Prism Power Make Up!"
"I'm the Sailor Warrior of love and justice Sailor Moon!"
"So you've finally showed up!" The Monster said. "I've been waiting."
Just then on Rei's forehead the Greek symbol for Mars appeared.
"Release Rei!" Sailor Moon ordered. "Holding people captive is wrong! In the name of the moon I will punish you!" The monster just laughed. And Sailor Moon used her Tiara.
"Moon Tiara Action!"
The Tiara flew at the monster but she just caught it, but since she used her hands to catch it she released Rei.
"You fell for it!" Sailor Moon mocked and the Tiara wrapped around the monster and bound her.
Back in the real world Jadeite sensed that his minion is in trouble.
"Grrr." Jadeite growled. "I lose again!" He took out Eggman's call button and stared at it reluctantly. "You better be good at owning your word!" Then Jadeite pushed the button.
Back over at Eggman's base, the alarm went off.
"So." Eggman smirked. "The little general calls for aid does he?" He got inside his Robot the Egg Spider and began to take off.
"Wait boss!" Scratch called with Grounder behind him. "Don't forget about us!"
"Ok." Eggman said, stopping. "I guess I could use some witnesses to my great accomplishment." Scratch and Grounder boarded the Egg spider and left the base for Japan.
Back in the dimension of darkness, Rei fell to the ground next to Sailor Moon and Luna
"Rei take out your transforming pen!" Luna said.
"Wow!" Rei cried, she jumped. "A Talking Cat!"
"I'll explain everything later." Luna said. "Hurry up and take out the transforming pen you picked up at the shrine!"
Rei reached inside her kimono and took out the pen.
"You're the Sailor Warrior Mars who specializes in fire, just yell" 'Mars Power Makeup!'" The monster threw off the tiara and was freed.
"I don't fully understand but I feel I can trust you." Mars did exactly what Luna said.
"Mars Power Make Up!"
Rei has become Sailor Mars, she also had a sailor fuku but it was all red and white and she had red high heels instead of boots.
"Rei's the third warrior!" Sailor Moon yelled.
Meanwhile in the forest Sonic and Tails were sitting on treetops enjoying the big great view of the Earth.
"Ahhh." Sonic said. "Kicking back this is great!"
"Most definitely." Tails said doing the same. Then his ears heard a roaring for a distance not too far from their locations. Then a wind was felt and Sonic and Tails fell from the treetops.
"Woah." Sonic went as he hit the ground. "How rude who did that?" Not soon after they saw an aircraft flying nearby and heading towards Japan. Sonic and Tails picked themselves up after the aircraft left and dusted themselves off and looked at the craft in the distance and instantly recognized the technology.
"Sonic!" Tails shouted "That's..."
"Huh." Sonic smirked. "Finally decided to show up huh? Come on little bro we got an egg to crack!"
Sonic and Tails revved up and sped off to the aircraft.
Back in the dimension Mars was still getting a hold of things.
The Monster lunged at them both.
"Evil Spirit I won't let you prevail!" Then Mars pointed her hands together and stuck out her pointer fingers and began to concentrate.
"Fire Soul!"
It was Sailor Mars's attack and a small fireball flew out of her fingers and it whirled around a bit and it scorched the monster. The monster was incinerated and the energy was restored to the victims.
"Hey!" Sailor Moon panicked. "The portal is closing because we beat the monster! We gotta get out what'll we do!"
Back in at the place where the bus disappeared once Ami was praying on her Mercury stick
"Everyone please be ok." She prayed. Then the stick sent out a light and it flew into the portal.
And on the other end it shined and created a tube of light.
"It's Ami!" Sailor Moon said. "Ami must be trying to show us where the exit is!"
"Yes." A familiar male voice said. "Let's go I'll drive!" They turned their heads and saw Tuxedo Mask driving a bus with all the victims inside.
"Tuxedo Mask!" Squealed Sailor Moon with hearts for eyes "How did you get here?"
"Wow he's so cool.." Sailor Mars said.
The Girls ran into the beam of light while Tuxedo Mask simply drove to it. And then they all exited and they returned home.
They returned and they all hugged and thanked Ami
"So." Jadeite said, watching from a building. "So now there's three of them?"
He looked behind him and saw that Eggman was coming.
"Not a moment too soon." Jadeite smirked. "I will leave everything to you Dr." And Jadeite Teleported
Tuxedo Mask drove the bus away to return the people and the bus.
"Thanks Ami." Sailor Mars and Sailor Moon cheered.
"Why yes congratulations girls!" Said the voice of a familiar evil scientist. The celebration was cut short as Eggman descended from the sky.
"Who are you?" Sailor Mars asked in a bitter tone, she knew this man was not friendly.
"So." Grounder laughed. "You are Sailor Moon! And those others are your friends."
Scratch checked his scanner. "Your putridness! The scanner says that the strong power source has just gotten stronger!"
"Makes sense." Eggman said. "Last I checked there were only two now it seems that there are three!"
"Who are you already!" Sailor Mars snapped.
"Oh sorry I have forgotten my manners." Eggman said. "My name is Dr. Eggman, the world's greatest scientific genius!"
"I'm his favorite creation Scratch!" Scratch clucked.
"Actually I'm his favorite creation Grounder." Grounder grumbled.
"You see." Eggman said. "Each of you has tremendous power in each of you! You will help me in building my ultimate Eggman Empire."
"How do you expect us to do that?" Sailor Moon snapped.
"Because." Eggman smirked. "I'm a brilliant DNA Surgeon. I will change each of you into robots! And you will serve me! HAHAHAHAHA!"
"You're sick!" Sailor Moon said and she did her pose. "In the name of the moon we will punish you!"
"Oh." Eggman frowned.
"They don't want to join us boss!" Grounder moaned.
"I guess we will have to persuade them to join." Scratch smirked.
"You're right my moronic clots." Eggman smiled. He pushed a button on his control panel and the aircraft formed and twisted and changed until it became a 50 foot big metal spider with 8 legs and everything.
"This is not good!" Sailor Mars said sweating and shaking.
"I told you I was a scientific genius!" Eggman laughed.
"We have to try." Ami said, she got ready to change into Sailor Mercury
"Mercury Power Make Up!"
Of course the police saw the robot but the sight of it made them cowards and afraid to do anything about it.
"Hey Sailor Moon." Scratch called. "Do you remember the day when you found a robot trying to catch you in a net?" Then Sailor Moon remembered the day when Sonic saved her from the probe. "Well that was us! We sent it to capture you but you won't get away this time!"
Two spider claws stretched out and got ready to claim they're prize. They each called out their attacks.
"Moon Tiara Action!"
But nothing happened, like before the Tiara just ricochet off the body.
"Bubble Spray!"
The fog did appear around the Egg Spider but Eggman had its Claws spin around very fast the spinning created a wind so strong the fog blew away.
"Fire Soul!"
Unfortunately the fire just touched the metal and the fire went out.
Everyone in the Egg Spider laughed. "You're puny magic cannot stop the awesome might of my technology." Dr. Eggman mocked. "I want your power and will get it from you one way or another." Then a claw shot out and grabbed Sailor Moon.
"No Sailor Moon!" Screamed the girls as the claw was being pulled to the egg spider.
"This is hopeless!" Luna panicked.
"Help me!" Sailor Moon screamed struggling. "I don't want to be a robot!"
"Now is truly a big moment as we have our first victory!" Scratch laughed. "AH HA AH HAAAAA!"
Just then A streak of blue light came and broke the claw. It was Sonic to the rescue again! Shortly Tails appeared with Sonic. Eggman's jaw dropped as he gazed upon his arch nemesis standing proudly in a nearby tree. Scratch and Grounder were fidgeting in fear, they were completely speechless.
"What?" Dr. Eggman screamed. "It can't be! Is that you Sonic? Are you here to spoil my plans again?"
"That's right Dr." Sonic said. "Tails and me want to save Earth and the floating island. Did you really think you could be rid of me simply going to a distant planet?"
"I'm going to crush you this time!" Eggman growled.
"If you can catch me first." Sonic mocked.
The Sailors were moving to safety after getting Sailor Moon from that scrap. They then looked at the sight and were completely shocked at what they were seeing.
"Attack!" Dr. Eggman shouted. "Don't stop until he's dead!" Sonic leaped into action Tails just stood by this time and just cheered Sonic on. The claws of the egg spider continued to wave and attack Sonic, Sonic was just toying with him and just kept leaping from side to side.
"First he follows us here, and now he mocks us!" Grounder whined.
"Ok." Sonic said. "Time to end this." He charged into the endless waves of claw attack he began to destroy them one by one. Eventually all the legs were destroyed and the body was now motionless just sitting.
"I think we lost." Scratch said.
"No we haven't!" Eggman objected.
"Ok Then I will see that you lose." Sonic said and Sonic sped and broke through the core and it's causing the spider to rupture and sputter.
"It's gonna blow!" Dr. Eggman screamed. "I really thought this robot would be all I need to take those Sailor Warriors." Then Dr. Eggman ejected his Eggomatic and flew away.
"You'll regret this!" Eggman screamed as he flew away. "This isn't over, those Sailors will be my slaves!" Tails beckoned the Sailors to follow them. They all ran off to a big empty park that grew empty because of all the commotion. Tails fell behind but not too far.
At first the Sailors were freaked at what they were looking at. But Sailor Moon stepped forward with Luna and Sonic did the Same they instantly recognized each other.
"Hey." Sailor Moon said. "I remember you! You're the creature who saved me."
"I remember you too." Sonic said, winking.
"Wow, you can talk?" Sailor Mercury said.
"Yes." Sonic replied. "I can do a lot of things you can."
"So what's your name?" Sailor Moon asked.
"I'm Sonic, Sonic The Hedgehog."
