Grandpa Goes Crazy
Back at the forest one night Sonic looked at the Rainbow Crystal.
"So this gem alone doesn't hold much power." Tails said.
"But when combined it can unleash the crystal that everyone's trying to get." Sonic said.
"Were you serious when you told Tuxedo Mask that you would give him the crystal if he gives you the Chaos Emerald?" Tails asked.
"I don't know if he would willingly give it to us." Sonic said but if he's honest about it then I will trade him for it."
Meanwhile a young man is sleeping on the steps of the Hikawa Shrine he used his duffle bag as a pillow, and he has a dirty black suit and a messed up tie with a tattered brown shirt, he has a huge bush of brown hair that's so big that it shadows his eyes.
Rei's grandpa was sitting on the outer wall of the Shrine as he looked at the moon.
Just then Zoisite appeared overhead.
"Who are you?" Grandpa asked. Zoisite wasted no time answering, he immediately used the Black Crystal.
"Zoi!" He Yelled.
"An evil aura." Grandpa gasped.
"So." Zoisite said and the waves of the black crystal were working its power on him. "This old man is one of the seven Shadow Warriors as I thought." The Dark Blue crystal began to blink in his chest. "Just be patient, I will take the rainbow crystal out of your body soon. Now return to life Monster Jijii!"
Grandpa used his Aura and he managed to break Zoisite's hold on him. The crystal stopped blinking.
"I thought you were just a decrepit old man." Zoisite growling. "But that wasn't too bad. Zoi!" His magic pushed him off the wall and sent him flying, Rei was tending to the grass when she heard her grandfather's screams, then two ravens charged at Zoisite and attacked him.
"Stop it!" Zoisite cried swatting at them. "I'm not raw garbage!" Grandpa hit the ground and Rei ran to his side, Zoisite saw her coming and vanished.
"Are you ok?" Rei asked as her grandpa clutched his chest. "What in the world happened?"
"Geez!" The sleeping young man groaned waking up, his voice sounded like a funky rock man, he stretched his arms and began scratching his hair. "Talk about noisy." He began to finish his travels up the steps.
"Who are you?" Rei asked the young man, who looked at Rei and was stunned. He got hearts for eyes and ran up to them both and got on his knees. "My name is Chad Holdenford. Please make me your apprentice!" Rei and Grandpa were both confused at this statement.
Back at the Dark Kingdom Zoisite was pondering about his next move.
"It's in the old man's body." Zoisite said. "Just you wait, I will make sure to take the crystal soon."
"Zoisite!" Beryl called. "Eggman is here with his moronic henchmen and wishes to speak to us."
"I'm on my way." Zoisite responded. He vanished and showed up at the throne room.
"What is it doctor?" Zoisite asked.
"I've been waiting for our Chaos Emerald you've been holding out on us!" Scratch said.
"I assure you we have every intention of giving you the emerald." Beryl said. "But we need those Rainbow Crystals."
"Oh really?" Grounder said with a suspicious look. "Then why haven't you gotten them yet?"
"Because those Sailor brats, and the Tuxedo nuisance and the spined freak of nature keep getting in our way." Grumbled Zoisite.
"If you could help us attain the next crystal we will finish faster and the emerald is yours." Beryl explained. Eggman thought about it in little time.
"Very well." Eggman said. "We will help you again this time!"
"Thank you Doctor." said Zoisite.
Eggman and his two lackeys boarded their small ship and left the Dark Kingdom.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to trust them?" Grounder said.
"Don't you two worry your empty heads." Eggman said. "Have a plan."
The next morning the four girls were standing outside the Hikawa shrine as Rei just finished telling them what happened last night.
"Your grandpa's acting weird." Serena whispered.
"Yes." Rei said. "Let me show you."
She took them up the stairs and she saw Chad on the ground face down. Grandpa poured a bucket of water on his head and got him to wake up. Grandpa has a green cape tied around his neck.
"Wake up!" Grandpa called.
"What happened?" Rei asked, everyone giggled.
"Grandpa, you look cute in that!" Serena laughed.
"Stop it!" He laughed and he grabbed another bucket and poured it on Chad. "You stupid, clumsy slowpoke! You're a disgrace to this shrine."
"Who's he?" Ami asked.
"He is Chad Holdenford." Rei said. "He became an apprentice to Grandpa."
Chad struggled to get back up. Rei ran to his side.
"Chad, are you ok?" Rei asked.
"Oh." Chad groaned blushing. "Looking up to her. Miss Rei, you look wonderful in a uniform to."
"Did you hit your head or something?" Rei asked. "How could you grandpa?"
"Shut up!" Grandpa snapped waving his arms in the air. "Training to become a Shinto priest is tough! You can't do it with a soft attitude! Training is all about mental strength!" Then he began to cry and he ran up to Rei and rested his head on her chest. "What am I to do? The only person who'll take over the shrine is you, my granddaughter! I am so alone!"
Rei hung her head in embarrassment.
"See? Rei sighed. "See? He's become emotionally unstable these days, it's wired."
Chad immediately rose with his strength back.
"No it's not weird!" He said. "It is only natural that the training is tough!" Then he got on his knees and begged Grandpa. "I will do it! I will endure any kind of training!" He moved to the shrine and rang a bell, but it was really a fake sphere that opened up and splashed water all over him.
"All right!" Grandpa laughed. "You totally fell for it!"
"Grandpa!" Rei yelled. Serena began to laugh harder.
"Wasn't that fun!" Grandpa asked, to Serena.
"Yeah." She laughed. "I love this kind of stuff!"
"You're the only one who understands my jokes!" Grandpa said. They both began to laugh.
"Grandpa!" Rei snapped. "Enough is enough!"
"Excuse me." Chad said. "But if you're concerned about me."
"You, be quiet!" Rei snapped.
"But….." Chad stammered.
"Shut up!" Rei yelled.
"Yes Ma'am!" Chad stammered, and she redirected her attention to her grandpa.
"If you keep doing these stupid things." Rei said. "Everyone's trust in our miracle-working shrine will be destroyed."
"Now, now." Serena laughed. "you shouldn't be so uptight all the time."
"That's right!" Grandpa agreed.
"Serena!" Rei snapped. "This is our shrine's problem. So, keep your nose out of it. She pushed her down and she fell on her back. Then she began to cry."
"Rei's being mean to me!" Serena cried.
"Serena seriously." Lita said. "Don't cry over such a little thing."
"And you to Rei." Ami said. "You didn't have to shove Serena like that." Rei just rudely turned her head. "Rei! Honestly! If this is how everyone's going to be, I'll be better off studying at cram school! Bye!" She left.
"I think I'll go to train with Sonic." Lita said and she left.
"What's with them?" Rei shouted bitterly. "They won't even seriously discuss the problem! Do whatever you want!"
"Excuse me Rei!" Chad said meekly.
"Shut up!" Rei snapped.
"Yes ma'am!" Chad stammered, sometime later Rei cooled off and Chad finally got a chance to talk to her.
"What did you want to talk about?" Rei asked.
"About my Master." Chad said.
"Oh, please!" Rei scoffed. "Grandpa is no master!"
"The weather changes easily in the autumn." Chad said.
"What?" Rei asked, confused.
"The biorhythm of the mind and body to become disturbed more easily." Chad continued.
"What are you trying to say?" Rei asked, even more confused.
"I'm saying that once the weather returns to normal." Chad explained. "Master's emotions may also settle down. Perhaps it would be better to give him some time and watch how things go." Rei started to laugh. "Was it something I said?"
"Thanks!" Rei said finally getting in a good mood.
"What?" Chad asked, confused.
"Girl friends are no good." Rei said. "They say, they're your friends, but when you really need them, they're so uncaring."
Serena was hiding behind a bush with Luna and was starting to eavesdrop.
"Rei looks like she's doing pretty good over there." Serena said. "Okay! Serena is going to be their cupid!"
"Serena." Luna scolded. "Don't stick your nose in where it doesn't belong, she'll hate you even more."
"Are you kidding? This is my chance to patch things up with Rei." Serena smiled.
"As usual." Luna sighed. "she gets hung up on her own ideas so easily." Serena cheered and took out the Disguise Pen. "Oh, Serena! You shouldn't use the transforming pen for something like this!"
"Moon Power! Turn me into a fortune-teller of love!"
She became a fortune teller with brown robes and thick glasses and a brown hat, and she ran over to them.
"Oh, she's just hopeless!" Luna sighed.
"Ahem!" Went Serena. She began to use the sticks, "Just sit there and let me do my job, for an accurate fortune. I'm a wandering fortuneteller of love! I shall now tell your fortune." She began to concentrate as she threw the sticks in the air. She caught them and concentrated hard. "If the two of you kiss right now, your love will come true!"
"KISS!?" Panicked Chad.
"This is ridiculous!" Rei shouted. "Let's go! And they both left."
"Oh, no." Serena sighed. "It didn't work."
Rei marched right back up to Serena.
"Just what are you up to this time, Serena?" She Yelled.
"Oops! You knew?" Serena stammered.
"If you recall, I have Darien!" Rei mocked. "Don't do anything funny! I am really never talking to you again!"
"See?" Luna said watching. "I told you so."
Serena fell to her knees and Rei Marched away, then she began to cry again. She and Luna returned home.
"I made Rei mad again." Serena sighed with her head hanging on her bed.
"Don't worry." Luna sighed. "Rei gets mad easily, but she also forgets easily. By tomorrow she'll be friends with you again."
"But she said she'd never talk to me again!" Serena cried.
"She just said that in anger." Luna sighed. "Because you pulled that weird stunt!" She took a bite of some sweet rice cakes on the table that Serena's mom put out for her.
"Wow this is good!" Serena cheered as if she's completely ignoring Luna.
Serena sadly crawled over to the table and ate one, her mood went back to happy.
"Wow these are good!" She cheered. "I know I'll take some to Rei! I'll make it up to Rei with these tasty rice cakes! It's a good idea!"
"Are you sure you won't make her even more mad?" Luna asked.
"Don't worry." Serena laughed. "Everything will be ok!" And she ran out the door with the bowl of cakes.
"She's so thick headed." Luna sighed.
Later that night at the Hikawa shrine Chad continued his training with him swinging between ropes.
"Rei." He said catching rope, by rope. "I'll do my best!" Unfortunately the thoughts of her being proud of him distracted him from seeing the tree, and ultimately crashed into it. He slid off the surface and into the bushes. "Training!" He shouted as he rose from the bushes.
Meanwhile Rei was bathing and sitting at the window and her Ravens were perched on the roof over her head and they both cawed.
"Say." Rei said with a hot red towel wrapped around her head. "Phobos, Deimos, what do you guys think?" The noises of Chad's training and constant shouts are being heard. "Is Grandpa really acting weird because of the weather?"
Grandpa was meditating in front of an open flame, after the blaze flared up Grandpa looked behind him.
"So, you have appeared again evil spirit!" Grandpa said.
Zoisite appeared behind him in his flurry of rose petals.
"Tonight." He laughed. "I will take that rainbow crystal. But this time I'm not alone!"
"That's right old timer!" Eggman said busting through the door with his two lackeys and Grounder was playing his theme music again.
"More evil entities!" Grandpa shouted. He charged at Zoisite waving a stick at him.
"Zoi!" Zoisite, Shouted and he threw a magic sphere at him. An explosion and a loud vibration was heard.
"Whats this!" Rei jumped. "The aura of an evil spirit!" She raced out of her bath.
Grandpa was sent rolling and was too weak to fight back or move.
"Ok!" Eggman said. "Scratch, Grounder! If you're not too busy playing my theme music go and seize him!"
"Yes your flabbiness!" The Badnicks agreed. "They rushed over to Grandpa and picked him up and held him by the arms. Zoisite began to use the black crystal again."
"Thank you two!" Zoisite complimented. The dark blue crystal appeared out of his chest. "The crystal is mine."
As the crystal left his body and flew towards him a rose flew and hit the crystal to the ground.
"Not you again!" Zoisite shouted looking up and seeing Tuxedo Mask.
"I will be taking that!" Tuxedo Mask said.
"No you won't!" Eggman said and he took out his reach claw and grabbed the crystal and took it.
"Good!" Zoisite said. "Doctor give me the crystal."
"I will once I get my chaos emerald!" Eggman said sternly. "But for now I will leave the mark of the Eggman Empire!" He ran behind the trees and rose out in his Eggomatic, he descended in a big knight suit about as big as the biggest trees at the shrine, and it's right arm is a sword and the left is a shield, and the Eggomatic was set at the head which is covered by a knight's helmet. Zoisite became angry that Eggman wouldn't just hand over the crystal.
"The Egg Lord!" Scratch announced.
"We got 'em now!" Grounder laughed.
" Fine! Monster Jijii!" Zoisite shouted. "Do away with Tuxedo Mask!" Grandpa became a creature with a red evil face with crazy not focused yellow eyes and black flesh with gold rings around his wrist and ankles.
"Tuxedo Mask, you shall fall prey to the monster Jijii!" Zoisite laughed.
"And you still have a Chaos Emerald yourself don't you cape boy?" Eggman mocked.
"We will gladly take it!" The badnicks said together.
Jijii charged at Tuxedo Mask but he leapt out of the way and Zoisite leaped away. Eggman began to chase after him for his Chaos Emerald.
"Zoisite!" Tuxedo Mask shouted. "You coward! Fight Me!" Tuxedo Mask perused Zoisite.
A scream was heard from behind and Chad was staring at the Monster.
"A monster!" He screamed. Jijii charged at him, and Chad ran for his life.
Tuxedo Mask was running through the trees but he lost Zoisite.
"Damn!" He cursed. "I lost sight of him."
"Too bad Tuxedo Mask!" Said the voice of Zoisite. "The rainbow crystal is in the hands of Eggman."
"Rei!" Chad shouted as he ran through the doors to Rei's room. "There's a monster in the shrine!"
"DON'T COME IN HERE!" She screamed "She wasn't decent, she was only covered by a towel."
Chad whirled around blushing, and smiling, he sure was proud of himself. But he whirled around again. "This is no time to be worrying about that! We have to hurry and run."
But Jijii was right down the hall ready to strike. Chad was shivering, and Rei finally got some clothes on.
"What's wrong?" Rei asked. "Oh! A Monster! Then they both started to run away, What's a monster doing here?"
They turned a corner into the fire room, and Jijii used a strong breath of wind and slammed Chad into the wall, and loud noises were heard outside, Rei looked out the window and saw Eggman was knocking down trees, still looking for Tuxedo Mask.
"No, not him to! Oh please! Others, Sonic I need you PLEASE!" Chad was a little confused at who she was screaming to.
Back at the Forest Sonic was looking at the stars from the trees.
"Help me Sonic!" Said a voice in his head.
"Rei?" Sonic said, confused. "Hey Tails!" Tails walked out of the home drowsy, he was just sleeping.
"What is it Sonic?" He asked Rubbing his eyes.
"I'm going to the Hikawa shrine." Sonic said. "I think Rei might be in trouble."
"Ok be careful." Tails replied, Sonic left.
Jijii snarled, and got ready to charge again.
Chad stud in front of Rei.
"Run, Quickly!" He said.
"Chad!" Rei cried.
"It's for you Rei! I won't mind dying!" Chad said with courage. Rei blushed as Chad charged at Jijii they both collided but Chad was the one sent flying. "Rei, please run!"
"Chad!" Rei shouted. She ran behind the fire and started making hand symbols.
"Rin,Pyo,Tou,Sha,Kai,Jin,Retsu,Zai,Zen!" And the flame showed her the monster then of Grandpa.
"Grandpa?" Rei panicked. "The monster is Grandpa? What in the world happened to you, Grandpa?" Jijii just stopped and stared at Rei then he finally charged. Rei ran for it and broke down one of the sliding doors on her way. She ended up outside and Jijii leaped out in front of her. She screamed as Jijii lunged at her.
"Grr, cape boy is gone! I'll just see what Zoisite's monster is doing. So this will be interesting!" Eggman laughed, turning his attention to Rei. As he just got done knocking down another tree. He just sat and watched as Rei was getting attacked.
Jijii clutched Rei by the neck.
"Grandpa please wake up!" Rei begged and gagged. "I'm your beloved Granddaughter, Rei! Usually, in situations like this, he'll awaken to the little bit of human heart left in him, and he should hesitate to attack." He extended his claws and attacked but to a shock the attack went into the statue standing behind her.
"Whats this?" Eggman said. "If you two turn on me like that, you two will be smelted into new material."
"You don't have to worry." Grounder said. "Because I know I'm your favorite!"
"Not true!" Scratch argued. "I was made first, so I'm his favorite!"
"Shut up!" Eggman screamed at his subordinates. "You two are both equally useless."
Jijii got ready to attack But this time a rock flew and struck his head, and a blue streak came and broke his hold on Rei.
Jijii looked and Serena threw the rock and Sonic stopped at a stump of a broken tree.
"Grr!" Eggman growled. "Not that pesky hedgehog again!"
"I won't let either of you go for being mean to my dear friend, Rei!" Serena shouted.
"I won't let you trash this place!" Sonic sneered at Eggman.
Sonic charged at the Egg Lord and knocked it on its back, Serena took this time to transform.
"Moon Prism Power Makeup!"
"I'm the Sailor Warrior of Love and Justice, Sailor Moon!" She did her pose. "And in the name of the moon I will punish you!"
Eggman stud up, and looked at Sailor Moon.
"So it's true! At first your ordinary girls, but once you shout the magic words you become the Sailors!" He looked at Rei. "I guess this would make you Sailor Mars!"
"Oh please!" Rei scoffed "No way am I Sailor Mars!"
"Don't try to fool me!" Eggman laughed. "I know it's you. Normally I could only track you when you're in your Sailor forms. But once I implant a tracking device in you I can follow you at all times!" And small guns popped out of the shoulders.
"The devices will propel like bullets to you, and once they get into your flesh you cannot remove them!" Scratch laughed.
"No! I don't want machines in my DNA!" Sailor Moon panicked.
"Don't worry." Eggman said. "Compared to what I'll really do to you this is just a mere itch! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Not if I can help it!" Sonic countered. He charged at Eggman again but he used his shield to block his attack, then the two began to clash and fight.
"Thanks." Rei said, rushing to Sailor Moon's side. "You and Sonic saved me!"
"No problem!" Sailor Moon said and she grabbed her rice cakes. "These are yummy! Try one!"
"You're such a dummy!" Luna shouted. "This is no time to be eating rice cakes!"
"Right." Sailor Moon sighed and she readied her tiara.
"Easy!" Rei cired. "That's my grandpa."
"What?" Sailor Moon yelled. "No way! That's Grandpa?" She got a better look at him, "I get it, his sudden personality change was a symptom of this!"
Jijii charged at them both and the two girls ran for it.
"Rei do something!" Sailor Moon panicked.
"The monster's my favorite Grandpa! I don't know what to do!" She panicked.
"Use a talisman!" Luna instructed. "Immobilize the monster with the talisman!"
"Ok!" She said and she took out one. "Wake up already, Grandpa! Be gone, evil spirit!" She flipped in the air and planted it on his face. "Sailor Moon now!"
"Grandpa! Please go back to being good!" Pleaded Sailor Moon as she took out the Crescent Moon Wand.
"Moon Healing Escalation Refresh!"
And Grandpa returned to normal.
Eggman rammed his sword into the ground and he struggled to get it out of the ground, Sonic jumped on the arm and ran up to the cockpit and the eye shield on the helmet and blocked the attack.
"I'll go help Sonic, you take care of your grandpa." Sailor Moon said. She ran to Sonic and Rei ran to her Grandpa.
Chad regained his senses and walked outside he saw the battle between the two.
"Woah! The little blue dude from the news!" He said "Then that's the science Egg guy they're fighting!"
"Take this!" Eggman shouted as he swung the sword at the speedy hedgehog "Take this!" He continued to shout with every swing.
"Sonic here!" Rei called and she threw him the Chaos Emerald, he took it and he combined the powers of the two emeralds.
"I can do the same here to!" Eggman said and he powered up the Egg Lord with his Chaos Emerald.
Sonic sprung into action, and he clashed with the sword of the Egg Lord he was knocked back and he hit the ground Sonic grunted and curled into a spin dash, and he charged at Eggman and he used his shield and broke through the shield.
"That stupid rat!" Eggman screamed.
"I'm coming!" Sailor Moon shouted.
"Not so fast!" Scratch said, he and Grounder both charged at her and Sailor Moon just kicked them down and they all tripped.
"So pathetic!" Sailor Moon scoffed, dusting her hands.
"It's over Egghead!" Sonic said and he curled into another spin dash and charged at Eggman and he swung the sword at him and Sonic broke through it and ripped through the Egglord.
"Hahahahahahahaha!" Eggman laughed, Sonic and Sailor Moon were both confused.
"I missed the joke, you lost!" Sonic pointed out.
"So you think!" Eggman said as he ejected from his dead machine. He flashed the Rainbow Crystal.
"No!" Sailor Moon screamed.
"You think you've won but this is really a victory for me!" Eggman laughed. "Until we meet again!" Eggman retreated. Sonic performed a spin dash and launched the Egg Lord into the sky before it exploded.
"Wait for us!" Scratch and Grounder cried and they ran after their creator.
"Don't worry we'll get it back." Sonic said. "So Rei is this your Grandpa?" He approached the little old man.
"So you're the blue creature." Grandpa said. "You're a strange creature, but I can see your soul is very pure. I'm glad to be saved by you."
"Hey there blue dude!" Chad said approaching him. "I saw you in the paper, where's your foxy friend?"
"It's pretty late." Sonic said. "He's sleeping." He gave the emerald back to Rei.
"Thanks for saving us, spiky bro!" Chad sakid. They both shared a laugh.
"I like this guy." Sonic said. "Hey Rei, if this guy's your boyfriend then you made a good choice!" Chad laughed harder and started to blush. Sailor Moon hid behind a tree and reverted back to normal.
Rei scoffed and blushed as well.
"I gotta go see ya!" Sonic said and he sped off.
"See ya blue bro!" Chad shouted in his direction. After they regained themselves they all went inside and ate some of Serena's rice cakes.
"These are good!" Rei cooed.
"Where did the weird monster go?" Chad asked.
"Weird monster?" Grandpa wondered.
"I can't believe you Grandpa! Don't you remember anything?" Serena asked, but Rei covered her mouth.
"But Serena." She laughed. "There's no such thing as monsters!"
"Then what's the hedgehog?" Grandpa asked.
"That's all, he is just a hedgehog." Rei said. "I'm sure you guys dreamt it all!"
"It didn't feel like a dream. I know the blue dude is real." Chad said. "Well it doesn't matter!"
"Hey Chad!" Rei said. "Blushing you may be slow but you are brave and kind." She moved in and kissed him on the cheek. Serena and Grandpa gasped in awe at what just happened.
"This is it!" Chad cheered, seemingly energized by Rei's kiss. "I'm living my life to the maximum right now!"
Serena laughed and began to nudge Rei with her shoulder.
"You know." She said "Sonic says if you want him to be your boyfriend, you made a good choice!"
"Don't be ridiculous!" Rei snapped with red cheeks. "That's not it! Grandpa's always yelling at him, so I just felt sorry for and kissed him as consolation!"
"How sweet!" Serena mocked.
"You've got the wrong idea!" Rei snapped.
"Rei!" Grandpa screamed. "I won't let you marry the likes of Chad!"
"Marriage!" Serena laughed.
"Marriage?" Chad sighed happily.
"Don't even think about it!" Rei and Grandpa both screamed. Then Rei chased after Serena because she continued to mock Rei, and Grandpa began to chase after Chad to try and get his thoughts of love out of his head.
