Ami, Tails, and Tuxedo Mask's Showdown

On a hot day in Africa, Rita was in a safari outfit and studying some fossils when all of a sudden she was shaded by a strange figure, she looked up and saw a man standing over her.

"Who are you sir?" Rita asked, the man was none other than Endymion staring at her with evil eyes.

"I've been looking for you, Rita Nishimura." Endymion smirked. "Or, should I call you Rikokayder, one of the seven Shadow Warriors!"

"What are you talking about?" Rita whimpered afraid of what would happen, Endymion threw the black crystal and it spun around and worked its magic on her.

"Now, come back to us once again!" Endymion shouted. Yellow waves emitted from the crystal and Rita screamed in pain as she was absorbed into the black crystal all that remained was her safari hat. Endymion stared at the black crystal and saw Rita inside it starting to see where she was, and next to her was game machine Joe pounding on the walls. Fallowing is also the cat Butler and the priest.

"There!" Endymon said with glee. "That leaves three more."

Back in Japan it was a cold and snowy day. At Ami's home, the phone was ringing and she answered it.

"Hello, this is Ami Mizuno." She said.

"Oh." Said a male voice. "Is this Ami? It's me, Greg."

"Oh, Greg!" Ami cheered. "It's been so long."

"Ami, do you have a T.V. nearby?" Greg asked.

She was confused. Why call her about television?"Yes, I do, but…"

"Please turn it on immediately!" His voice sounds as if he is disturbed by something. Ami turned on the television. It showed Yumeno Yumemi on the news and it said she is missing. "With Miss, Yumemi five out of the seven Monsters are missing! The next target is."

"Wait Greg!" Ami said, with a combination of confusion and sadness.

"Believe me." Greg said. "This is something I found out thanks to a residual ability to foresee the future."

"Greg, where are you now?" Ami asked worriedly. "I'll be there right away!"

"No!" Greg objected. "If you meet me, you'll be involved in this trouble, too. More importantly, please protect Miss Rei's grandfather. If you don't, something terrible will happen. Please, stop the Dark Kingdom from achieving their ambitions and you will need Sonic and Tails for what lies afterward! Bye."

"Greg! Greg!" Ami cried. He hung up the phone.

"This is how it should be." Greg said, leaving the phone booth and looking up in the sky. "To be honest I was going to ask her for help,but I can't trouble Miss Ami and her friends anymore than I already have, I just wish I could see her before the terrible thing that scientist will do to her."

He walked up the street and he passed by Lita who was walking in up the sidewalk.

"Oh?" Lita said, catching a glimpse of him. "Wasn't that…" Her communicator began to buzz and she answered it. "Yes this is Lita." Luna appeared on the screen.

"Lita!" Luna said alarmed. "There has been an incident! Get Sonic and Tails and come to the Hikawa shrine quickly!"

"Oh, okay." Lita said, and she ran off.

The Dark Kingdom

Malachite was approaching Beryl's throne, he bowed.

"Queen Beryl." He said. "Please tell me, why are we gathering the former Shadow Warriors now?"

"It is true, they were purified by the Crescent Moon Wand and turned back into their human forms."

Beryl explained. "However, by using the power of our dark energy and the Black Crystal, we can turn them back into monsters again."

"But they were already defeated by the Sailor Warriors once." Malachite said. "Are they not useless to us?"

"Ha!" Beryl laughed. "You know nothing! Once the seven Shadow Warriors are united together, they will merge into one being and the biggest, most powerful monster will be born! When that happens, we will be able to put an end to the Sailor Warriors, once we get the silver crystal, we will crush Sonic and Eggman."

"Then, all the more reason!" Malachite said. "Why did you assign this task, not to me, but to Endymion?"

"Do you have a problem with my decision, Malachite?" Beryl snarled.

"No, that is not what I meant." Malachite said getting defensive.

"Then, let us sit back and watch Endymion's handy work." Beryl said.

"Yes, my lady." Malachite grumbled.

The Hikawa Shrine

Rei's Grandpa and Chad were out shoveling snow, everyone was inside the meeting room.

"I see." Said Rei, as Ami finished telling what just happened. "But are Greg's predictions that accurate?"

"Yes, with a very high probability." Sighed Ami.

"So this is where Eggman could be?" Asked Tails apparently not interested in what the girls were doing, sitting with Sonic staring at a piece of paper.

"Most likely, here." Sonic said, pointing at it.

"What are you two doing?" Mina asked.

Sonic explained what he and Tails have been up to. "While we were out when you guys were battling Eggman to get his Chaos Emerald me and Tails paid a visit to the Island again.

"But we decided to leave Knuckles alone that time." Tails added. "Instead we picked up this in a box in a cave, near the Marble Garden Ruins." He flashed it to the girls. "This is a map of the whole Island."

"With this we will try to find Eggman's base because odds are this is where he's hiding." Sonic explained.

"The Dark Kingdom must be gathering the Seven Monsters and plotting to do something terrible." Artemis explained.

"All right!" Lita said standing up. "Let's go Ami!"

"What?' Ami said confused. "Go where?"

"Where else? We have to protect Greg, right?" Lita suggested.

"But we don't even know where he is." Ami whimpered.

"We know he's somewhere in town." Lita said proudly. "If we look around, we'll run into him. We'll leave guarding Grandpa to you guys."

"Oh, Sonic, Tails!" Ami said. "Greg wanted me to say something to you guys!"

"Tails will you go with her while I deal with this?" Sonic asked. Tails went to Ami as Lita pulled her up and pushed her out the door and Tails just followed. Then Serena just started crying.

"What's wrong Serena?" Luna asked, sweating.

"I feel so sorry for the heroine in this comic!" She cried, apparently she was reading a comic and wasn't listing the whole time.

"Hey!" Rei snapped. "Don't read my comics without permission!"

"Oh come on." Serena whined who immediately stopped crying. "Just a little?"

"No, you can't!" Rei snapped. "You'll make them dirty with your tears!" She lunged at Serena for the comic and they began to fight.

"These girls." Luna sighed.

"The future of the Sailor Warriors." Artemis sighed.

"I bet I could beat the Dark Kingdom in one day." Sonic said to Luna, he remained focused on the map, not even looking up from it.

Back on the streets Darien was looking around for Greg on the street corner.

"He should be around here." Endymion said in his civilian clothes as Darien, looking around the streets. The walking signal flashed and all the people crossed the street. He took notice of Greg crossing the road. But Sadly Darien cut him off. "Greg Urawa I presume?"

Greg jumped and began to shiver possibly from either the snow or of fear.

"You're Endymion of the Dark Kingdom." Greg shivered.

"That's right." Darien snickered. "Since you can see the future, I see making such a guess is a piece of cake. So, have you seen what is in store for you as well?"

"Yes. You're going to trap me inside the black crystal, right?" Greg stated.

"Very good. Now why don't you quietly come with me?" Darien smiled.

"I'm sorry, but someone told me something once and ever since then, I've decided to make my own destiny." Greg said, trying to be brave.

"What do you mean?" Darien frowned.

"In other words, I'm not going to just give up!" Greg said loudly. "MURDERER! HELP ME!" Darien looked about as all the people turned towards him and they surrounded and crowded him.

"No, I'm not!" Darien panicked, waving his hands defensively as people surrounded him, Greg managed to escape.

Lita and Ami were walking down the sidewalks as Tails was flying above on the building tops.

"Lita, let's go back." Ami said as they stopped. "I feel bad for Greg but there's nothing we can do in this situation."

"What are you saying?" Lita asked loudly. "He's your boyfriend, isn't he?"

"Oh, no." Ami said blushing. "Not a boyfriend. He's just a friend." Lita just sighed sadly.

"Ami, are you saying that seriously?" She asked.

"What? Yes.." Ami stuttered slightly distracted.

"Greg loves you, you know!" Lita nagged trying to get that fact into her head.

"Just what are they talking about?" Tails said to himself, landing on a store roof watching them from above but couldn't hear what they were saying.

"I know. But we have an important mission, so I can't return his feelings." Ami said, turning and leaning against the glass of a window of a television shop.

"If you keep telling yourself that, you'll regret your youth!" Lita said loudly. "Even champions of justice should be allowed to love! What's wrong with dating a boy you like?"

Ami explained, without hesitation, showing that she knows what she's talking about. "Same reason I can't get too familiar with Sonic and Tails, after this is over they will return to their world and we may never see them again."

"Ami." Lita sighed. "You're just running away from it! You're scared to be in love! That's why you come up with all kinds of excuses, Sonic and Tails have nothing to do with it! So you don't have to deal with Greg! Why can't you be more honest with your feelings?"

"That's not…" Ami stammered. Just then a snowball hit Lita in the head she rubbed the snow off and looked up and saw Tails waving to her reminding her and Ami that he's still up on the roofs. They just waved back while Ami looked forward.

"Look there he is!" Ami pointed, seeing Greg running from something.

"Is that it?" Tails wondered, seeing Greg to.

"Sure I can understand why you might hesitate, but.." Lita pondered out loud. Ami chased after him before Lita could finish. "Oh, wait, Ami! I'm not finished talking!" Ami stopped to speak to Lita.

"I saw him!" She cheered.

"You did?" Lita said, running up to her.

"Let's go!" They both ran after him.

"Uhhhhh!" Tails groaned not knowing what was going on and he flew in their direction.

Greg was running down the alley and he stopped in front of two figures in the light it was Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury, who transformed while trying to catch him.

"Ami! No Sailor Mercury..." Greg said relieved

"Long time no see, Greg." Sailor Mercury said.

"OK!" Tails shouted flying to the ground and his body completely covered in snow, it was as if he was a fox shaped snowman. Like a dog he just shook it off. "Oh, yeah don't worry about me I'm fine!" He had an extremely angry face on.

"Sorry." Sailor Jupiter said. "I guess we must have forgotten about you."

"DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN!" Tails yelled.

"Tails!" Greg said. "Good to see you again!"

"You're safe, now that we're here." Sailor Jupiter said, then an evil laugh fills the air, the laugh of Endymion.

"What reassuring bodyguards." Endymion said and the two sailors and Tails took a fighter stance and he leapt down from a fire escape.

"Darien!" The Sailors panicked.

"You come back for more!" Tails mocked.

"Darien?" Endymion grunted. "Someone else also called me that before. But you have the wrong person. My name is Endymion!" He threw an angry hand at them then everyone just stared each other down.

"Sailor Mercury, let me handle this. You take Greg!" Sailor Jupiter said.

"Me to!" Tails said stepping forward.

"No, I'll fight with you!" Sailor Mercury said, also stepping forward.

"What are you saying!?" Sailor Jupiter shouted. "Our priority is to protect Greg, right?"

"Okay! Greg this way!" Sailor Mercury said, and she took him by the arm and ran away.

"Darien….No, Endymion!" Sailor Jupiter roared making martial arts stances. "I don't really want to fight against you, but considering the situation, I'm not going easy on you!"

"Like Sonic said, Maybe we can beat you back to your senses!" Tails said going into the air with his fist ready.

"Just what I would have wanted." Endymion smiled devilishly. "But will you two be able to handle me all by yourself, I wonder? I can see that you're weak without Sonic to hold your hand!"

"Neither of us are alone!" Tails said.

"We'll just have to give it our best shot!" Sailor Jupiter, and she used her attack.

"Supreme Thunder!"

Endymion slid to the side and dodged the attack.

"Is that it?" He mocked.

"No!" Tails said, curling up and using his spin dash at him and he ducked and dodged the attack. He laughed but it was cut short because he was struck from behind.

"You sick little fur ball!" Endymion growled rubbing his back.

Sailor Mercury was running down the streets and she had her communicator active. "This is Sailor Mercury! I have Greg under my protection!"

"That's my girl, Sailor Mercury!" Mina said, as Rei and Serena continued to fight over the comic and Sonic just sat on a chair having a drink watching Rei and Serena fight, and the map was rolled up next to him.

"Darien showed up, and Sailor Jupiter and Tails are fighting him right now!" Sailor Mercury explained. Just then Rei and Serena just stopped and listened once Sailor Mercury mentioned Darien.

"Will Sailor Jupiter be alright by herself?" Mina asked.

"Come on! Tails is with her, she'll be alright." Sonic assured.

"Sailor Moon Please help us!" Ami cried. "The Crescent Moon Wand is the only way we can restore Darien!"

"Serena!" Luna callled.

"Okay…"Serena said dizzy, Rei had just pulled the comic from her hands and she fell over backwards. "Let's go Luna.."

"Hurry up!" Luna shouted as she rushed Serena out of the shrine.

"I'm coming to!" Sonic said, running out with her.

Back at the fight Sailor Jupiter was throwing quick punches and jabs at him but Endymion dodged them just as fast. Tails tried to attack from above but Endymion just backflipped out of the way in time. Jupiter threw a punch at Endymion but he just caught it with his left hand. Jupiter just backed away and Tails tried to swoop down and kick him but he just ducked and Tails missed.

"What's wrong?" Endymion laughed. "Are you done attacking already?" Sailor Jupiter retook her stance and Tails rose up.

"I'm just getting started!" She declared.

"You both have quite an admirable fighting spirit." Endymion smiled. "But, I cannot just keep playing this game. So, I will go on the offensive now." He threw jabs at Sailor Jupiter and threw quick kicks at Tails and they also dodged them just as quickly. But she backed up too far and she tripped over a nearby trash can Tails moved and helped her to her feet. Endymion just stared them both down.

Endymion threw a punch at Jupiter and she shrieked as she awaited the pain, but his fist just stopped a few centimeters away from her face. Tails Charged to do the same to Endymion but he just smacked him away with his other forearm. Endymion pulled his fist out of Jupiter's face and left.

"As I thought, you are no match for me alone. You are way too weak without the hedgehog!" Endymion said walking away. "Polish your skills more and fight me again."

"Damn it!" Jupiter cursed.

"Oh no you don't!" Tails shouted. "Take that back!" He whipped his face and he rose into the air and he chased after Endymion.

"Tails wait!" Jupiter called, but Endymion and Tails were already gone.

Back on the streets Sailor Mercury was still running with Greg.

"Sailor Mercury I have a request." Greg said, and they stopped running. "Look. If we're going to run, we should go this way." He pointed to the fair, it was nighttime so it was closed up.

Nearby Serena and Luna were running up the sidewalk.

"It's so cold! It'll ruin my skin, that Sonic is such a show off just running ahead like that." Serena whined.

"Come on, run faster! It'll warm you up!" Luna said in a happy tone.

"Easy for you to say!" Serena whinded, and she slipped on the ice on the sidewalk and fell on her rear and began to cry. "Ouch! It hurts!" Just then Sailor Jupiter approached from behind.

"Serena!" She called.

"Sailor Jupiter!" Serena said relieved.

"I'm glad. We made it in time!" Luna said.

"No, you didn't!" Sailor Jupiter said. "Say Luna, Endymion or Tails didn't come this way, did they?"

"What?" Luna asked.

"Shoot where did they go!" She grunted looking around.

Back at the fair Greg and Sailor Mercury were wandering around.

"Greg." Sailor Mercury said "Why do you want to come here?"

"It was my dream to go to an amusement park with you." Greg sheepishly said.

"Greg!" Sailor Mercury said softly. Greg sighed with relief. "Now, I have nothing to regret. Let us go in separate directions from here."

"We don't know when the Dark Kingdom might come back for you." Ami said.

"But you will need Sonic and Tails for what will come later." Greg said. "But for now I will say goodbye."

"What do you mean?" Ami asked, alarmed.

"I've found the resolve to take them down with me." Greg said. "You just go and stay near Sonic and Tails. Please, I want you to fulfill your own mission which is to defeat the Dark Kingdom and get rid of the mad scientist. After all I was never human to begin with. If the sacrifice of my unworthy life could save the world…." Tears began to wallow in his eyes, Sailor Mercury just smiled.

"You and I are really the same." She laughed. "We're always trying to avoid something."

"What?" Greg yelled surprised.

"My friend told me that I need to be honest with myself." She explained.

"Ami!" He sniffed as she leaned against the rails outside the Farris wheel.

"Sacrificing yourself is certainly very admirable, but if you're honest with what's in your heart, don't you feel that you want to make it through alive?" She smiled at Greg. "Aren't you forgetting that there are people who will grieve over your death? Let's both stop running away." Greg frowned and looked down.

"Let's take on any obstacle head on, no matter what it is!" Sailor Mercury Cheered.

"Ok." Greg smiled. "But stay close to Sonic and Tails, don't let Eggman capture you!" Then all the lights suddenly turned on.

"That sounds wonderful, Sailor Mercury." Said the voice of Endymion.

"Where are you!?" Tails shouted, showing up to Mercury and Greg.

"Tails?" Sailor Mercury said, surprised. "How did you get here?"

"After the fight Endymion left Sailor Jupiter and he insulted us and I followed him to see if I could get him to take it back, but after he took me around the city a few times he led me here and, well, he just disappeared." He was just scratching his head.

"He's up there!" Greg pointed upwards and they all looked up and saw Endymion standing in the platform at the center of the Ferris Wheel.

"You're here!" Sailor Mercury panicked.

Serena and Sailor Jupiter were running down the street and when they passed the fair Sailor Jupiter noticed that the lights were on.

"Hey Serena look!" She called and they both saw the fair.

"That's!" Serena shouted.

"Let's go!" Luna said, and they all ran to the fair.

Back at the Ferris wheel Endymion leapt down from the platform and stood off from the three.

"Darien, I won't hesitate to beat you anymore! Prepare yourself!" Sailor Mercury declaired throwing a defiant finger in his direction.

"You're going to take back what you said!" Tails shouted, going into the air.

"How promising!" Endymion laughed. "I was planning to wait until the Ferris wheel's lights brought the other Sailor Warriors here, but you are saying that is not necessary then." Mercury tried her attack.

Bubble Spray!

The fog did no good, Endymion lunged forward and jumped high into the air.

"Before I fight you, I am going to take care of my business first!" He shouted. "He took the black crystal and began to work its magic on Greg."

"Oh no you don't!" Tails said, he tried to spin dash to save Greg but the magic deflected Tails away.

"Oh, no! Greg!" Sailor Mercury screamed.

"AMI!" He screamed and he was absorbed into the crystal.

"Thank you for waiting." Endymion said taking back at the crystal, Sailor Mercury was shedding tears, of anger she had the mutual look to go with it.

"You're terrible!" Sailor Mercury cried. "Darien, No, Endymion of the Dark Kingdom! I will never forgive you!"

"Geez I can't wait till you return to normal!" Tails sighed. Sailor Mercury began to make poses like Sailor Moon.

"It's time for you to take a cold shower and reflect on what you've done!" Sailor Mercury declared.

"If you want to get your boyfriend back, then just destroy this black crystal." Endymion laughed. "But of course, that is only if you can defeat me."

"Then let's fight!" Sailor Mercury shouted.

"Don't worry I'm here to!" Tails said, hovering in the air.

Endymion charged at them and his cape began to glow. Endymion then became Tuxedo Mask.

"Out of my respect for you two I will fight you in earnest!" Tuxedo Mask laughed.

"There's no way I can beat him at this rate , but I have no choice, I have to try." Sailor Mercury thought. Then she charged at Tuxedo Mask and she used her attack again.

"Bubble Spray!"

"Is that all you can do?" Tuxedo Mask laughed, and he spun his cane around and blocked the attack. Tails swooped to the crystal to Tuxedo Mask but she swung his cane and hit Tails away but Sailor Mercury tried the same thing, and she swooped and grabbed the crystal.

"Impertinent little.." Tuxedo Mask grumbled.

"I'm also just trying to fulfill my mission before I fight you!" Sailor Mercury smirked. "TAKE THAT!" She slammed the black crystal against the ground and it shattered and all the captive people were freed, they all laid on the ground unconscious.

"Yeah! We did it!" Tails cheered.

"Way to go buddy!" Sonic said hopping from the roof of the Merry Go Round.

"You were just watching again?" Tails asked, scratching his head.

"No I just arrived, and with them!" Sonic pointed next to Sailor Mercury and Sailor Moon, Jupiter, and Luna all arrived.

"Everyone!" Sailor Mercury cheered.

"Sailor Mercury, you look much better now!" Sailor Jupiter smiled.

"Yes, and I owe it all to you, Sailor Jupiter and especially you Tails!" Sailor Mercury smiled.

"Don't mention it!" Tails said landing and waving to her.

"Oh, so you already shattered the ambition of the Dark Kingdom." Serena smiled.

"Yeah looks like you won't have to lift a finger." Sonic laughed.

"Sailor Moon you have to restore Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Mercury reminded.

Tuxedo Mask gave a cold look to all the heroes.

"I will take care of all of you together!" Tuxedo Mask snarled.

Sailor Moon just pointed at him.

"If you're interested in recycling, why don't you just stick to cans? Greg and the other were leading peaceful lives. I can't forgive you for trying to use them once again!" Sailor Moon posed. "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!" Sonic and Tails leaped in front of Sailor Mercury and Jupiter and began to spin and they used their attacks.

"Supreme Thunder!"

"Bubble Spray!"

Sonic and Tails shot at the Tuxedo mask who was just charging at the Sailors and the attacks succeeded and Tuxedo Mask was stunned.

"Now Sailor Moon!" Luna ordered. She used the wand.

"Moon Healing Escalation!"

"No!" He screamed as the magic was working his true memories returned and so did his true purpose.

"It's working!" Sonic cheered.

"Just a little more!" Luna said. "Increase the energy even more!"

"Refresh!"

Endymion reverted back to Darien.

"We did it!" Sailor Moon cheered. "We got Darien back!" She fell to her knees and began to breathe heavily.

"Good job, Sailor Moon!" Luna praised.

"What the!" Tails shouted, and a strange darkness engulfed Darien and it vanished, Darien with it.

"No!" Sailor Moon cried.

"The Dark Kingdom's handy work." Sailor Mercury sighed.

"NO!" Sailor Moon yelled as she began to cry.

The Dark Kingdom Beryl put the unconscious Darien on the restoration bed and she placed a stronger dose of black magic.

"As I feared, Endymion's memories of his past were still not completely erased, in that case once more, I will transfer our great ruler's energy into his body, and make sure he becomes a loyal servant of the Dark Kingdom this time." Bery said with a real focused look on her face.

The next day Ami and Greg were back on the Ferris wheel enjoying the ride and each other's company.

"You say I need to stay close to Sonic and Tails?" Ami said.

"Yes, do not let Eggman capture you! If so, terrible things will happen to you and those who care about you!" Greg warned with a serious tone Ami gulped and refocused on the ride.

"We should come here again!" She smiled.

"Ok." Greg blushed.

The other girls were on the ground looking up, Sonic and Tails were dressed head to toe in odd clothes to make it seem like they were little kids, both wearing a blue raincoat, sunglasses, a scarf, and a funny hat.

"I hope Ami doesn't forget the mission." Serena grumbled. "If so, who will be our leader?"

"That's your job." Mina pointed out.

"You're not jealous are you?" Rei mocked.

"It's ok." Sonic said adjusting his sunglasses. "It could be worse. You could get a huge fan who automatically assumes that you're their love so they constantly brag about it and won't stop bear hugging you!"

"Do you have someone who fits that description?" Lita teased.

"Unfortunately." Sonic sighed.
