AN and Disclaimer: Don't own Sailor Moon or Power Rangers. I would be rich if I did but I don't.. Oh well. Timeline slightly skewed for story. (Before they discover Serena is the princess, but after Mina comes. Before they find out Darien is Tuxedo Mask). For the Power Rangers timeline for this is after Tommy discovers his brother, before gold Ranger shows up and before Billy leaves for good.
Chapter 3: A Zeo Encounter
A faint breeze stirred the air, blowing one of Serena pigtails back as she jogged. Less that five minutes ago she'd gotten the call from Tommy to meet the Rangers in the park, a monster was attacking people there and draining their energy. However, it was just her this time around with Ami having lunch with her father out of town, Lita at an orphanage helping out, Mina was at a singing contest, and Rei and her grandfather had gone to another Shrine out of town. Which of course left her. With no help if a youma attacked. Luckily, the Zeo rangers- Tanya, Tommy, Kat, Rocky and Adam had come to town just that day to track abnormally high negative energy readings. Hopefully, she would finish off the monster quickly- she did not want her parents to find out she was not in her room, doing her homework.
She saw the rangers ahead and grasping her broach in one hand, shouted, "Moon Prism Power!" Dark pink ribbons flowed around her, and bright blue light surrounded her, as a blue skirted fuku appeared around her hips, a dark pink bow in the back, and white gloves formed from the dark pink ribbone wrapped around her hands and her arms. Dark pink boots with crescents on the top wrapped themselves around her lower legs, and a dark pink bow across her chest, with the broach in the center. On her forehead, a golden tiara with a deep pink stone appeared, gleaming with power. She opened her eyes and briefly the power of being Sailor Moon shone in her eyes before a set and determined look crossed her face.
She ran the rest of the way to help the Rangers- a blur to a normal person. She shouted, "Stop," as the monster's tentacles like arms wrapped around the yellow rangers, and slowly drained her energy. The monster looked up, growling, "Who are you?"
"My favorite part. I am Sailor Moon and in the name of the moon I will punish you!" Sailor Moon then ran at the monster kicking at it. She tripped and tried to scramble out of the way, screaming as the monster wrapped one of its arms around her waist, its suction cups attaching slimily to her skin. A silver glow emitted from the arm as Sailor Moon's energy was slowly drained.
A pure red rose appeared, staking through the arm holding Sailor Moon. It hurt the monster enough to loosen its hold on Sailor Moon. The monster looked up to finding the thrower of the rose and only saw a shadow as it gracefully leapt down from the street lamp. A masked man wearing a tuxedo and a a top hat stood next to the still weakened Sailor Moon. He held out a white gloved hand to her and she took it, gripping it as she carefully stood up. She swayed, and he took her shoulders, and looked in her eyes, whispering, "Your turn Sailor Moon." However, when she turned to used her wand she saw that a little robot and some people sized robots had appeared. It was Prince Sprocket and some Cogs who had appeared in between the Negaverse's current creature and the Rangers, and Sailor Moon and asked it, "Who are you?" in his high pitched mechanical voice.
"Er- More to the point who are you?" Sailor Moon asked, eyeing the whiny little bucket of bolts who turned to the pigtailed blond and asked, "Who are you?"
"I asked first," Sailor Moon said, whining a little.
"Fine. I am Prince Sprocket of the Machine Empire," he responded with a high pitched tone in his voice, "And I will be taking this creature with me to my parents." The Cogs started to grab the youma, but Tuxedo Mask threw about a dozen of his roses and staked them. The Cogs short circuited and fell the ground writhing. "Uh-oh," The short little robot said, and vanished with the cogs.
"Sailor Moon, stop the monster," Tuxedo Mask reminded her.
"Right," She nodded, and took out the crescent wand. She started her attack, "Moon Healing Activation!" A bright light shimmered out through the wand and hit the monster who screamed as it was turned back to normal. The person that it was fainted and Sailor Moon cheered. "I did the right one. Yes!" She was relieved that it was a person, and not just a monster, and that she used the correct attack.
She turned to hug Tuxedo Mask and found only the Rangers, who had already changed back to their civilian counterparts.
"Nice job, Sailor Moon," Tanya congratulated her.
"Thanks," she walked to the nearby stand of trees and transformed back into her civilian clothing. "I got to get back home. See ya."
She started to walk away, but Tommy caught up to her and said, "Hey are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just post-battle exhaustion." She shrugged, "I really have to go. My parents think I'm upstairs studying."
"All right. Well, we still have to check into the negative energy readings so I'll probably see you around later," Tommy said, and turned back to his team.
The next day: late morning
"Thanks for the ride Tommy," Serena said, getting off the back of the red Jet Cycle, in front of the arcade. Tommy had given her a ride on the back of the disguised motorcycle. It was still red, but it had been disguised as a Kawasaki Ninja. Darien was entering the arcade when he heard her voice and he turned around and saw her dismounting the cycle. A flash of jealousy stole across his expression before he masked it and went up to Serena.
"Hey Meatball Head," Darien said and gave Tommy a hard look while admiring the cycle.
"Hey Darien," Serena said, not looking at him, and then she smiled at Tommy, "wanna come in and play Sailor V?"
"Why not?" Tommy shut off the jet cycle, dismounted next to Darien and Serena, and then he followed Serena into the arcade.
Darien cast one last glance at the cycle and walked into the arcade watching as Andrew greeted Serena's guest with a "Welcome back." When Serena and Tommy went to play the video game, Darien asked Andrew, "Who is that guy?"
"Tommy Oliver. He was here a little while ago with some friends and Serena told me that they were exchange students from Angel Grove," Andrew explained, "Why?" At Darien's shrug, he looked away and watching as Tommy laughed with Serena.
"What's with the nickname?" Tommy asked Serena as he watching her defeat the youma in the video game.
"The Meatball head?" Serena replied, "Oh nothing. Just a name he started to call me and that I have chosen to ignore today."
"I think he likes you."
"Darien?" Serena looked up at Tommy, and laughed. He laughed with her at the expression she wore- scrunched up and almost grossed out. Andrew brought their milkshakes over and Tommy watched as Serena drank almost half the glass in one gulp. Serena looked over and said, "Oops. Forgot I was in company." She dabbed her lips with a napkin and set aside her glass. Tommy laughed and drank his in one gulp and then winced.
"Brain freeze?" Serena asked as Tommy held his head, then she said, "Drinking milkshakes that fast is not for amateurs." Tommy laughed and nodded.
Looking at the time, he said, "I've got to go meet the others. Billy wanted to do some scanning at the Command center and is meeting us downtown Juuban with the results."
"The girls and I are meeting tomorrow afternoon here.. At two. See you here," She said, brightly, and ran the rest of the way home.

Serena paced in front of the arcade, waiting for the Rangers arrive. The others girls were on their way as well, and the arcade seemed mostly empty. She could only see a few shadows through the windows.
"Serena!" She heard Tommy shout, and she turned around to see him across the street with the other Rangers. She waved and they crossed the street, hurriedly, "Serena, there's another monster near your school. We have to hurry."
"Right! Hold on." She walked into the arcade, "Andrew, when the girls get here tell them to meet me at school." She left before he could even nod. She told the Rangers, "Let's go." She took off running in the direction of the junior high, and the rangers tried to keep up, but soon only Tommy and Kat were behind her. Rocky, Adam, and Tanya had fallen more than a block behind. Serena moved into the next alley, "Moon Prism Power!" and stood there in all her Sailor Moon glory. While she had transformed, the Rangers had morphed. They continued running towards the school, and they heard screaming. Sailor Moon took off her tiara and sent it spinning to the monster- it was similar to the one from the day before- only it had tentacles coming from its four heads. The tiara cut off one of them and she caught the tiara on the return spin. The Rangers zapped the heads with the weapons, and succeeded in getting one more. The tentacles waved around the other two heads, in pain. Sailor Moon sent her tiara once more, and the one of the writhing tentacles hit it out of the air, causing it to fall to the ground with a soft clang. "Damn!" Sailor Moon yelled in frustration, knowing she would not be able to get the tiara back easily.
"Sailor Moon!' She heard shouted from behind her; it was Sailor Mercury and Mars. They ran up to her, and she nodded at them.
"Supreme Thunder" The brown haired Senshi of thunder drew in her arms, crossing them, with the pointer and pinky fingers on both hands pointing up, and gold lightening rod appeared up from her tiara, sparking, "Crash!" green- white thunder shot out, and destroyed another head. It was still smoking when Sailor Venus shouted, "Crescent Beam Smash," and a golden light shot out of her fingertip, burning the skin of the youma.
"Mars Fire Ignite!" Sailor Mars shot out of her fingertips, singeing off the tentacles on the leftover head.
"It's time for the Zeo Cannon," Tommy said, as it appeared, He pulled the back of the weapon open, and as each ranger held a cylinder in their hand, he said "Zeo Five Power Cell- Power up," He set the cylinder object into the circle closest to him- which was in the back of the loader.
"Zeo Four Power Cell- Power up," Adam set his in the next circle up.
"Zeo Three Power Cell- Power up," Rocky set the triangle topped cylinder in the third space.
"Zeo Two Power Cell- Power up," Tanya said, setting it in the circle provided for her cell.
"Zeo One Power Cell- Power up!" Kat said, putting hers in the space, and they pushing the loaded energizer back into the Canon.
"Zeo Canon Fully charged," Tommy said, then pumped the canon and fired it at the youma when Serena threw her Tiara. When the fire from the explosion cleared up their was no longer a creature. They heard Prince Sprocket whine, "Klank they destroyed my monster, do something."
"I am," Klank said, in an unexpected Scottish accent, "I'm retreating." He held Orbus and disappeared, with the still wailing Prince behind him.
Sailor Moon and her friends laughed and they transformed back and faced the Rangers, who also transformed back. They hugged, and Serena said, "Let's go to the arcade."
"We have to leave," Tanya said, regret in her voice.
"Yeah, Zordon is calling on us for an update on those energy reading," Billy said, coming up beside them, having hid in the trees nearby- he may be able to fight, but not as a Ranger.
"Well, come back when you can," Ami said, and the girls nodded. They turned around and started to head for the exit of the park, and Tommy said, "Serena, hope to see you again soon."
"Me too, Tommy. I'm glad you guys came again. See you again."
The Rangers transported out of Japan, and Serena turned to the others, saying, "I'm hungry." They laughed.
"When are you not hungry?" Rei said, "Time to go to the arcade."

AN: This chapter longer than previous ones, but I wanted to add in that bit with Tommy at the arcade with Serena, putting in Darien. Let me know what you think!
