Molly's Pure Love

One sunny day Molly was kicking water about wearing a blue two piece swimsuit at the local pool. Then she began to fantasize.

Nephrite was standing right in front of her she was in the blue dress that she was wearing during the princess ceremony. He offered his hand and she took it. But it was broken when Serena was splashing water in her face she was wearing a one piece blue swimsuit.

"There there!" Said Serena trying to sound upbeat. Molly just removed her legs and grumbled.

"Serena you're such a child." she sneered.

"Oh you're too kind!" She laughed but her expression changed to angry, "does that mean you're a grown up?"

"Well, of course," sighed Molly "because I'm involved in a mature romance!"Then she began to blush.

"Molly!" said Serena with a serious tone "you need to have someone to love first!"

"Of course I do." Cooed Molly blushing more deeply.

"What!" Shouted Serena "Then are you in love with Melvin? It better not be Tuxedo Mask or Andrew they belong to me!"

"None of them," cooed Molly "again I told you it's a mature romance. It's Maxfield Stanton."

"WHAAAAAAAT!" Serena Screamed

"What?" Said Molly who stopped blushing, "You don't have to act so surprised. I know he's a bit older than me, but that doesn't matter when you're in love."

"He's absolutely no good for you!" Objected Serena.

'Forget it," said Molly steamed, "I shouldn't have told you anything!" And she stormed out of the pool.

Later at the Hikawa Shrine Serena, Rei, Luna, and Ami were discussing what was going on.

"What'll we do now?" Moaned Serena

"We need to tell Molly," concluded Rei, "Maxfield Stanton is really Nephrite, as soon as possible."

"Well," said Ami "we can wait a little and see."

"Ami next time we see Nephrite," said Luna "call Sonic right away, we need to get the chaos emerald away from him as soon as we can!"

'Understood." said Ami

"It's easier said than done," said Serena "when you consider Molly's feelings."

"We won't know how it'll go unless we try it." Said Rei seriously.

"Serena what do you think?" Asked Ami

"Well," sighed Serena "I think we ought to tell her, but."

"Then, what are we going to do?" Asked Luna

"Just leave it to me!" Said Serena with confidence.

"Leaving it to her worries me even more." said Luna hanging her head.

Meanwhile at the Dark Kingdom

"Where has Nephrite gone!" Shouted Beryl "He does not appear, no matter how many times I summon him!" Then her crystal ball began emanate huge waves of black magic.

"Beryl is Furious!" whimpered one of the witnessing minions. "How terrifying!"

"Nephrite you had better be ready to face the consequences!" Said Beryl with a devilish look on her face.

Zoisite was listening from around a corner. "Nephrite is already a candle in the wind. How I pity him."

Back at the abandoned Church, Nephrite was thinking out loud.

"I no longer have time to worry about stealing energy." He took out the Chaos emerald and stared at it. "I'm counting on this jewel it can ensure my survival."

He heard male giggling and up in the ceiling Zoisite was watching and laughing at him.

"What do you want!" Snapped Zoisite.

"My you shouldn't treat me so coldly." said Zoisite. "Queen Beryl is furious, she's looking for you, I see you have a chaos emerald, if you present it to Beryl she may go easy on you."

"NO!" Objected harshly "I need this to get what I want! So Malachite told you to come check up on me, did he?"

"Well, well." said Zoisite "From your attitude, you don't seem to have any good plans ready."

"GET OUT OF HERE!" He snapped again

"Oh, how scary." Zoiste scoffed "Here's some friendly advice. Why don't you retire, before you truly anger Queen Beryl?"

"Shut up!" Said Nephrite "I will find the silver crystal and get the better of you, in fact I already do, since I have the chaos emerald."

"No!" objected Zoisite "the Silver crystal is my assignment!"

"It doesn't matter," said Nephrite "whoever gets it wins! I'll get a hold of the crystal and restore my honor!"

"Unbelievable!" Said Zoisite furiously "Just you remember this!" And he left in his flurry of rose petals.

"The stars know everything," he said focusing on his celestial map. "The guide to the silver crystal shall appear." And the map all came together and combined with black magic it created a new crystal that was pure black.

"The black crystal." He said holding it in his hand. "This will lead me to the silver crystal." The crystal produced an image of Molly. "Is it saying that little girls has the silver crystal?"

Meanwhile Back at the forest.

"So," said Tails "The hunt is coming to an end."

"Close," said Sonic "there are two emeralds floating around out there, only five have been discovered."

"We're gonna have to fight the Dark Kingdom, Eggman, and Knuckles, in order to get three of them." Said Tails

"Pulse getting Tuxedo Mask is quite a challenge." Said Sonic cracking his knuckles "but it's ok I was itching for some action."

Back at the Dark Kingdom Zoisite was snuggling with Malachite again.

"Don't worry," said Malachite "if he finds the silver crystal, we can just steal it from him, we can do the same with the chaos emerald as well."

"Your right." said Zoisite snuggling with his arm.

"Just let the monsters watch him for now." Said Malachite

"Right," Said Zoisite he turned his attention towards a shadowy figure, "Yasha! I know you can hear me! You know what to do!"

"Yes." said the figure before it teleported away.

Later Serena walked over to Molly's house-Jewelry shop, she was with Luna and she was standing outside the door having trouble ringing the doorbell.

"What's wrong?" Said Luna "you're the one, who volunteered for this, remember?"

"That was just a spur of the moment thing!" Shrugged Serena "Stuff like that happens all the time, you know?"

"Yes," glared Luna "but it's always happens to you."

"I got it!" Shouted Serena, "I should ask Andrew for advice."

"I wasn't expecting much, but…" said Luna scratching herself.

Serena walked inside the arcade and saw Andrew helping a girl play the game.

"He's drooling all over her!" Said Serena with Jealousy, she began to bite her nails, "Oh, and he's so close to her! Andrew, your Serena is here!" And Darien approached her from behind. She felt a presence behind her and saw Darien.

"Hi dumpling head!" Said Darien. The he called out to Andrew, "Hey Andrew if you just leave her here, your dumpling will turn into a puff pastry."

"He's just kidding!" Called Serena "I'm not a puff pastry at all!"

"Oh, Serena!" Said Andrew approaching her, "I didn't know you were here. Sorry about that. I'm almost done with my shift. Would you like a cup of tea or something?"

"Of course!" Said Serena "I want to ask you for some advice, too!"

"I'll tag along to," said Darien "I got nothing better to do anyway." Serena got peeved about it.

"That's a good Idea." Said Andrew.

"I agree!" Cheered Serena then they retired to a diner, Serena was drinking some fruit juice while Andrew and Darien had tea.

"You see," explained Molly "My friend Molly is in love with a bad person, but she doesn't know that he's bad."

"And?" Asked Darien

"Well." Said Serena "What should I do in this situation? If I tell her the truth Molly will…"

"I don't think you need to be in any hurry." Said Andrew. "You could wait and see a little."

"That's true," she said and she began to slump in her chair. "He thinks the same way as Ami." she thought

"Waiting and watching won't change anything." Said Darien "Telling the truth is a form of courage, too."

"You may be right," said Andrew. "Molly might get mad if you tell her the truth, but as a friend, it's something you have to tell her."

"Okay!" Said Serena with a happy look on her face, "I feel better, I'm hungry! HEY!" She called to the waiter, "I'D LIKE A FRUIT PARFAIT, MIXED SANDWICHES, A STRAWBERRY SHORT CAKE, AND A GLASS OF JUICE."

"Uh," moaned Darien nervously "Andrew, you have money?"

"I think I can manage." Sighed Andrew.

"Don't worry!" Said Serena, "this is my treat today! OH COULD YOU BRING ME A MIXED PIZZA, TOO?"

After her large feast, Serena decided to rush to the forest she still had doubts so she decided to ask Sonic for advice.

"Oh hi," Serena, said Sonic seeing Serena approaching.

"Serena's here?" Said Tails Coming out of the workshop

"Sonic I want to ask you something." said Serena

"What is it?" Asked Sonic Serena fed Sonic the same story that she told Andrew and Darien.

"So this Molly is in love with Nephrite." Said Sonic

"What should I do?" Asked Serena

"Well," said Sonic "I guess you should do what's best for your friend, but if you can see if you can rehabilitate Nephrite."

"Really?" Asked Serena Sarcastically

"I know this is not very big especially of someone of his caliber." Shrugged Tails "but maybe theirs good in him."

"I guess." said Serena

"But for now I suggest you protect Molly from making the wrong decision." Advised Sonic

"I suppose your right," said Serena, "I guess I should go talk to her. Oh Sonic Can I ask for a favor?"

"Say no more." said Sonic He picked her up in his arms and he rushed her back to the city.

"Poor girl." sighed Tails.

Sonic was able to rush Serena back to Tokyo in less than five seconds.

"Thanks for that." said Serena.

"Good luck!" Said Sonic he waved to her and he rushed back to the forest.

Serena arrived back at Molly's front door.

"Courage." She said using some form of mantra "Courage. All right you gotta be brave, Serena!" She rang the doorbell and Molly answered it.

"Oh Serena what is it?" She asked

"Molly!" Said Serena with a nervous tone. "I'm going to say this with courage, but Maxfield Stanton is a bad person. On top of that, he's not human, oh that's not what I meant! Anyway, he's scary! That's why you should never go out with him! So, just forget about him completely! Okay!"

"But," said Molly sadly "I'm"

"Okay!" interrupted Serena waving bye to her and running down he hallway. "Just give up on it!"

Later that night at Serena's house Serena told Luna the news.

"Really?" Asked Luna "So, you talked to Molly?"

"Yeah," said Serena "I finally worked up the courage and I told her everything!"

"So did she understand you?" Asked Luna Serena flinched at that question "Don't tell me you just told her and left without waiting for a response." No response. "I can't believe you! Then, why did you even go there?"

"But I'm sure she understood me!" Said Serena

"I should have gone with you after all." Said Luna

Meanwhile at Molly's house she was fantasizing about Nephrite again, but the phone rang and her mom answered it.

"Molly!" She called "It's for you, it's some guy called, Maxfield Stanton."

"Yes!" she cheered "our hearts really must be linked together!" She went downstairs and picked up the phone. "Yes, The Sankaku Park close by, right? Yes, I'll be there right away!" And she hung up the phone, "I'm going out for a bit!" She called to her mom.

"Why?" She asked "it's so late." But Molly already left.

Molly met Nephrite at the park and they sat together on a bench.

"Sorry for calling you out so late." said Nephrite

"Not at all, it made me really happy." Said Molly

"I came to say goodbye," said Nephrite "not looking her in the eye."

"Oh," sighed Molly "I see, I guess I'm a bother to you, aren't I?"

"No, not at all." Said Nephrite. "It's more about not wanting to drag you into a dangerous situation."

"What?" Asked Molly confused

"To be honest with you," said Nephrite. "I'm being threatened by some bad people. It would be terrible if you got caught in the middle, so this is goodbye. I'm glad I got to know you." He began to get up from the bench and walk away.

"Wait!" said Molly and that stopped Nephrite. "Please, let me know if there's anything I can do for you!"

"The silver crystal." said Nephrite sinisterly, "If only I had the Silver Crystal."

"What is this sliver crystal?" Asked Molly

"If I just hand over the silver crystal to them, I'll be free." Said Nephrite trying to sound innocent. "Oh, no. I'm sorry. Please forget I said anything."

"The silver crystal," said Molly remembering a small pearl like crystal that was at her jewelry shop, it has a silver sheen. 'Mr. Stanton please wait here!" She ran back home and Nephrite began to smirk evilly.

Back at her house she took one of her mother's keys and began to try and get a cuberd open in a dark room where the rare jewels are.

"I'm pretty sure this is where it is." she thought inserting the key into the lock. She got it open and sure enough there it was, she took it but to her dismay, the lights flipped on and her mother busted her.

"What are you doing!" Yelled her mother. No response. "Molly what are you doing with the crystal?"

"I'm sorry!" She said putting it in her pocket. And she ran past her mother and out the door and down the street.

"MOLLY!" Cried her mother "What happened to you?"

Meanwhile down another street. Serena was walking with Luna to Molly's

"I don't wanna do this!" Said Serena

"Come on!" Objected Luna "We're going to make sure Molly understood what you said, right? Besides, we have to do this now since you didn't do it the first time!"

"I know that," whined Serena "but.." She noticed Molly's mother walking up the sidewalk. "Molly's Mother!"

"Have you seen my daughter?" She asked with a worried tone

"Is something wrong?" Asked Serena Molly's mother explained everything to her, how she stole one of eher crystals, and how this all started because she got a call from a person named Maxfield Stanton, and Serena and Luna ran towards the park.

"I can't forgive him!" Snarled Serena "How dare he take advantage of Molly's feelings?"

"Transform now!" Ordered Luna

"Moon Prism Power Make Up!"

"Let's go Luna!" Said Sailor Moon

At the park Molly handed Nephrite the crystal, and he used his black crystal to tell him if it's the true silver crystal. But no reaction.

"The black crystal is not responding." Said Nephrite "This is just a normal crystal."

The only thing Molly was thinking about was the fact that she could help Maxfield out.

Then Nephrite began to see that the crystal was having a reaction to Molly, "This girl may be worth investigating." he thought. He focused his attention at Molly. "I want you to help me with something. Would you come with me? Come, Shall we go?"

"Wait a Second!" Came a shout from behind, they both looked back to see Sailor Moon.

"How dare you take advantage of a girl's love!" said Sailor Moon "I'll arrest you on the charge of romantic fraud!"

"Don't interfere in my business!" Snapped Nephrite

"I'm the Sailor Warrior of Love and Justice Sailor Moon!" She said doing her pose "In the name of the moon I will punish you!"

"Sailor Moon," said Molly "what are you doing here?"

"Molly don't be tricked!" Said Sailor Moon pointing at Nephrite. "Maxfield Stanton is really Nephrite! A member of an evil organization called the Dark Kingdom!"

"No!" objected Molly "it's a lie! Mr. Stanton is not a bad person! Right Maxfield?" He just stared at Sailor Moon. "Mr. Stanton?"

He charged up a magic ball and shot it at Sailor Moon and knocked her down.

"Oh stars grant me power." He prayed and he took out the Chaos emerald. "Grant me power ultimate jewel!" Then a bright purple radiant light emitted from the emerald and encased Nephrite he began to feel the great energy run through her body. "SUCH RAW POWER! NO WONDER EGGMAN WANTED IT SO MUCH!" The multiple magic Spheres shot out at Sailor Moon instead of hitting her they all just hit the ground around her.

"Sailor Moon get a hold of yourself!" Said Luna

"No more games!" Said Nephrite He crossed his arms and shot out one straight beam at Sailor Moon but she scooted back before she could get hit. But it left a huge trench in the ground. 'So, you managed to just barely dodge it. But when I strike next, I will not miss." He took out his Chaos emerald and kissed it. "I owe it to you chaos powers!"

"Oh you're so pitiful!" panicked Sailor Moon

"Hang in there!" Said a voice from behind, Sailor Moon smiled and looked behind her, she saw Sailors Mercury, and Mars.

"Sailor Mars has arrived!" She said

"Sailor Mercury has arrived!" She also said

"So the three of you are here, I'll send all of you to hell together!" Said Nephrite

"You think you're the only one with chaos power?" Said sailor Mars taking out her emerald. The sailors touched it and they gained the power boost. The Mercury tried an attack.

"Bubble Spray!"

"Damn!" Cursed Nephrite looking through the fog "where are they?"

"Fire Soul!"

Nephrite jumped out of the way in time to dodge the fireball. But he landed on his knees

"Mr. Stanton!" cried Molly

Nephrite was looking at Molly

"I didn't notice she was still here!" He said. Sailor Moon used her tiara

"Moon Tiara Action!"

"No!" shouted Nephrite as the tiara flew at him.

"Mr. Stanton!" cried Molly and she leaped out in front of him. Everyone including Nephrite gasped. "I will protect him!" Shouted Molly

"STOP!" Yelled Sailor Moon and the light left the tiara and fell to the ground. "I can't believe it worked!"

"Please don't hurt him!" Pleaded Molly

"We cannot let him go!" Said Sailor Mercury

"Get out of our way!" Demanded Sailor Mars.

"No I won't!" shouted Molly "not even if you kill me!"

"This girl cares for me this much?" Thought Nephrite.

"Why do you go to such lengths to protect him?" Asked Sailor Mercury.

"Because I love him." uttered Molly reluctantly, and tears began to flow from her eyes. "I love him with all my heart, so I'll protect him even at the cost of my own life!"

But something was sneaking around the bushes. And the black crystal was starting to glow blue.

"Does this crystal respond to a kind heart?" Wondered Nephrite. "Sacrificing her own life to save another… Is this what human love is?"

"SILVER CRYSTAL!" Shouted the monster Yasha leaping from the bushes it was a lady like monster wearing a kung fu robe and was wearing a porcelain female doll mask on her face. She was throwing kicks and punches at Nephrite, he was able to block each shot he dropped the black crystal and Molly picked it up.

"HAND IT OVER!" Shouted Yasha Lunging at Molly.

"MOLLY!" Shouted Nephrite he fired another magic ball at Yasha and destroyed its mask.

"Nephrite protected Molly!" Said Sailor Moon in disbelief. Molly fainted from the shock, Nephrite looked at his hand stunned at what he just did.

"Damn you Nephrite!" Shouted Yasha and her body became pale white with big red eyes and horns in her hair, which is also pale white. "You intend to protect a human?" She charged at Nephrite horns first like a bull. Nephrite grabbed the horns and threw her in the air.

"Traitors must die!" Yasha shouted. Sailor Moon took this opportunity.

"Moon Tiara Action!"

The Tiara hit Yasha and obliterated her. They all rushed over and took care of Molly even Nephrite. He took out the crystal Molly took and placed it in her hand.

"Nephrite!" Yelled Sailor Moon "Why don't you be a little considerate of Molly's feelings!"

"I have returned the favor." Said Nephrite

"Excuse me, that is not what I'm talking about!" snapped Sailor Moon

"Don't you have a heart!" Asked Sailor Mercury

"You're wasting your breath." Sighed Sailor Mars "Of course, he doesn't!"

"Hm," snickered Nephrite "Obviously, you guys know nothing! Listen! Once we get the Silver Crystal, the whole universe will belong to the Dark Kingdom!"

"What are you talking about?" asked Sailor Moon

"Hmm. Sounds familiar." said Luna

"The Chaos emeralds?" Asked Sailor Mercury

"Silly." said Nephrite "the silver crystal is not the chaos emeralds, but if we get a hold of all seven nothing will stand in our way, not you, not Sonic, not even Eggman! You can pretend to be champions of justice for now, but that won't last longer! Just because the Chaos emerald failed me this time but next time it will come through for me!" Then Nephrite teleported away.

"Did you call Sonic?" Asked Luna to Sailor Mercury

"Oops!" Said Sailor Mercury "I was too focused on saving Molly unfortunately I didn't do it, next time I promise!"

"You must!" Said Luna "we need to get him away from that chaos emerald!"
