Okay! Time for Sailor Moon Super! Here are some things to help you understand the way I'm setting it up: there's not going to be any Witches 5 (sorry, but I don't want to make this saga long), and Sailor Uranus & Neptune are lesbians, not cousins. I'm going to go into the Stars Arc, and it wouldn't fit if they were related. Here we go!
Episode: The New Guys
Being inside her room felt somewhat nostalgic. Anna remembered the night Darien first had the nightmare. She lied on the bed and almost fell asleep.
Darien "Hey!!"
Her door slammed wide open as she fell out of her bed from shock. Anna's bottom ached as she sat on the floor.
Darien "You're gonna be late for work. Didn't you say you needed money when Aoshi comes back?"
Anna "Oh, yeah. Sorry. Don't worry. I'm not gonna mooch off of you."
Darien "It's ok. Now, come on."
Anna prepared her things and they both set off for Game Crown. It seemed like an average day to everyone: no enemies, no opposing threats…zip. Maybe the team's desire to live normally will finally come true. Happiness reached Anna's thoughts when they reached the arcade.
Darien "I'll get you later, okay?"
Anna "All right. See ya."
They split up and Anna entered Game Crown. It was bustling, as usual. And, of course, Andrew was there.
Andrew "Long time, no see, Anna. Ready to work?"
Anna "Yeah. All set."
He started her off to fix the racing machines. Anna grabbed her tools and began to tinker away. There wasn't a small problem, so it was a quick fix. After she finished, Anna glanced at what the game was: Gran Turismo 3. Ecstatic, she decided to rig the machine so she could play for free.
Anna (Andrew won't mind if it was just once.)
"Hey. Mind if I join?"
Anna jumped a little from surprise. Was it Andrew? She looked behind and saw what looked like a handsome prep. The new face wore green checker pants with a red jacket. The enigma had short blonde hair and a gentle smile. Anna sighed with relief.
Anna "Not at all. Go ahead."
Prep "Thanks. You any good with these games?"
Anna "Well, a little. But I'm not pretty sure."
Prep "Really? Let's put it to the test."
The new person sat down in the machine next to the one Anna was using. Anna felt calm with this new guy. "He" liked games, just like her. The prep activated the other machine and chose a car to use. Before she knew it, the race began. Anna constantly switched the gearshift to get ahead of her opponent. With each twist and turn, Anna became more nervous.
Finally, her car saw the finish line at a home stretch. Anna switched gears and stepped on the gas pedal with full force. She almost passed the finish line within a millisecond…ZOOM!!!
A red car sped past hers and took the victory.
Prep "Looks like I won."
Anna stared blankly at the screen for a few seconds before coming back to her senses. She began to wallow in shame until the prep gave out a hand.
Prep "Nice game. My name's Amara."
Anna's face turned to a smile and shook Amara's hand.
Anna "Anna's the name. I work here. You're really good."
Amara "Thanks. I'm a racer. I got my own bike and stuff. It's nice to know I'm not the only girl that likes racing."
G…GU…GIRL!!?? And for a moment there, Anna thought that she was a guy. Now she began to wallow more in shame. She looked so masculine…
Anna "Really? That's…great. It's…it's nice to meet you."
Amara "Same here."
Mina "Anna!"
They looked towards the door and Mina walked up to them. Her face was awkwardly red as she came by.
Mina "Who's your friend?"
Amara "An acquaintance of Anna's? Hey, I'm Amara."
Mina "I'm Mina Aino. I'm 15 years old, a Libra, and I go to Shiba Koen Middle School. My favorite colors are orange and yellow and I'm sometimes thought of as a leader. My dream is to be an idol and I hate shiitake mushrooms. I think love is very important…"
As Mina went on and Amara listened, Anna couldn't help but feel sorry for Amara. It seemed like her friend found a new "love victim".
Anna (Mina has no idea…)
Amara checked her watch and looked back with a smile.
Amara "I gotta go. Nice meeting you guys."
Anna "Same here."
Mina "See you later…"
Her voice was soft and sweet. As Amara left the arcade, Mina slowly turned to Anna.
Mina "Oh, Anna…"
Anna "What is it?"
Mina "How long has he been here!? How old is he!? What does he like!? Does he have a girlfriend!? Is she cute!? Is she younger!? OLDER!? Does he like assertive girls!? Were you trying to be assertive!? Do you have a crush on him!? I NEED TO KNOW!!!"
Anna (Yup, she's love struck.) "Uh, Mina, I think you should know that Amara's…"
Mina turned around.
Mina "You're right! I need to learn firsthand to fully understand. I'll go follow him!"
Anna's mouth dropped with astonishment.
Anna "She's going as far as to stalk her. Better stop Mina before she causes more trouble."
Anna and Mina walked around the streets to find their new friend. As Mina babbled on about how to get Amara to like her, Anna tried to tell her the truth. But she wouldn't hear of it.
Mina "I'm the soldier of love! Of course I know my perfect soul mate. And I won't let anyone interfere."
Anna "Like how she's interfering?"
Anna pointed across the street at two people who were talking in front of an auto shop. One of them was obviously Amara. The other person was a girl the same age. She went to the same school as Amara; her school uniform obviously compared. She wore a long checkered green skirt and red long sleeve sweater. Her wavy navy blue hair flowed down behind her. Her face was calm and sweet.
All Mina did was stare sorrowfully and drop her jaw. She and Anna rushed into a nearby alley.
Mina "Is that…is that his girlfriend?"
Anna "Why don't you go check?"
Mina strangled Anna.
Mina "Are you crazy!? Who would do a crazy thing like that!?"
Anna (dizzy) "Indeed. Who would?"
Mina "We gotta find out who she is! Hey, look. They're walking this way! Go get 'em!"
She decided to give Anna 'the boot' and kicked her into the sidewalk. Anna fell down sitting. She looked up and saw Amara and her friend standing in front of her. Their faces were questioning as Anna stared with embarrassment.
Amara "Uh…hey, Anna."
Anna "Amara! Hey, fancy meeting you here. I was taking a break from work and I tripped."
Anna laughed nervously. Deep down, she swore to kill Mina for humiliating her.
Mina "Anna, you klutz. Watch where you're going."
Mina came out of an alley with a concerned look. But Anna knew it was all an act. She glared harshly as she stood up.
Mina "Oh, Amara. What a coincidence! We were just taking a walk and here we are! Heh heh…oh, who's your friend?"
Anna (Oh, yeah. Great people skills.)
Amara "This is Michelle. We go to the same school."
Michelle "Nice to meet you."
Mina "Pleasure's all mine."
Once again, an act.
Anna "Hey, I'm Anna. I work at the nearby arcade. And this is my friend, Mina."
Mina "So, how close friends are you?"
Anna nearly jumped. Mina's going way too far.
Michelle "Well, we practically do everything together. I guess you could say we're best friends."
Mina "Oh, that's…that's nice. Well, we'd best be going. Come on, Anna."
She placed her hand on Anna's shoulder and they walked away. Michelle and Amara watched them leave with curious faces.
Mina "How could you…"
Anna "What?"
Mina "How come you didn't tell me they were just friends!?"
Anna became confused and stressed.
Mina "You embarrassed me in front of him!! I can never show my face again!!"
Anna "What are you talking about?? I was the one embarrassed!! For your information, Amara isn't exactly who you think."
Mina "I know. He's so god-like…"
Anna "No. I mean Amara is…"
"AAH! HELP!!"
Mina and Anna turned around. Over at the mechanic shop, a man wrapped in a rubber tire ran out to the street. A monster stepped out of the shop and stared at the man. Vehicle tires wrapped all around its body.
Mina "It's a monster!"
Anna "But from where!? Hold on! Stand back!"
They stood against the wall. Running footsteps were approaching. They stayed silent as Amara and Michelle ran by calmly.
Anna "Good. Less people involved. It's up to us now. Ready?"
Mina gave thumbs up.
Mina "I was born ready. I AM the vice commander."
Anna "Yes, but not the smartest or the strongest."
"VENUS STAR POWER!!"
"SOLAR STAR POWER!!"
Mina covered herself with a swirling ribbon to become Sailor Venus. Anna covered herself with multi-colored orbs to transform into Sailor Galaxy.
Man "Someone!! Help me!!"
The monster chuckled.
Galaxy "Hold it!"
The monster turned around and the man looked ahead. Two teenage girls in sailor suits stood with proud faces.
Venus "We can't allow this wonderful world to be jeopardized right after it's been saved! You need to be taught a lesson! I'm Sailor Venus!"
Galaxy "And I'm Sailor Galaxy! We stand for love and justice!"
Venus "In the name of Venus…"
Galaxy "Of the entire galaxy…"
Scouts "We shall punish you!"
"VENUS CRESCENT BEAM SMASH!!!"
Sailor Venus shot a beam of energy at the tire monster. But it held up a tire and deflected the beam.
Venus "It deflected my attack!"
Galaxy "It's strong!"
The monster turned back to the man from the auto shop and held out its palm. A black star was imprinted on it. A black beam shot out of its palm and was directed at the man's chest.
Galaxy "What's it doing!?"
The man groaned and screamed in pain. The beam seemed to be clawing into his body. All the scouts could do is watch.
Something began to materialize in front of the man's chest. It glistened and shined as it was unearthed. A crystal appeared and floated to the monster's hand. The man slumped back and drooped his head. His pupils became dilated with the eyelids wide open.
Venus "What is that?"
Galaxy "I don't know, but I'm not waiting to find out!"
Sailor Galaxy leapt into the air and flew to kick the monster.
Galaxy "HAH!!"
But the monster jumped to the side before the kick landed on the ground. When Sailor Galaxy had a chance to retaliate, the monster summoned tires around her body. She couldn't move!
Venus "Sailor Galaxy!"
The monster didn't forget. It summoned tires around Sailor Venus as well. As the tires held her tight, Sailor Venus stumbled and sat on the ground.
Galaxy (Damn! Not good. We didn't alert the other scouts. And now that monster's gonna get away with that…whatever-it-is!!)
The scouts struggled to get out of their imprisonment. No one was around to help. At least, no one they knew.
"URANUS WORLD SHAKING!!"
A gold sphere of energy skidded on the ground, but sped fast towards the monster. The creature, unexpecting the attack, had nowhere to run. It howled in the air as it was reduced in size. After the flash of the collision, a tire appeared on the ground next to the mysterious crystal.
The tires on the scouts disappeared. Sailor Galaxy stood in shock and wondered. Where did that attack come from? As Sailor Venus stood up, 2 figures shot out from the alleyways. They landed next to the tire and the crystal. Their attire surprised the scouts.
The mysterious figures wore tiaras, gloves, and skirts. One of them had short blonde hair while the other had long and way blue hair. But what shocked the scouts the most were the sailor suits they wore. They were sailor scouts as well!
Blonde "Check it."
The scout with blue hair picked up the crystal and observed it closely.
Blue "It's not."
The blonde scout sighed.
Blonde "Might as well give it back. Here."
The blonde scout took the crystal and tossed it to Sailor Galaxy. She clumsily caught it, but held the crystal safe.
Venus "Who are you?"
Blonde "No one that concerns you."
Blue "Just know that we're not on the same side."
They walked away without looking back. Sailor Galaxy stared for a while and remembered the crystal in her hands. She walked up to the man and held the crystal before his chest. It dissolved through his clothes and back into his body. The man's breathing came back as he was slowly filled with life again.
Venus "We better go."
Sailor Galaxy nodded. They ran away before the man regained consciousness.
Anna and Mina had concerned looks on their faces at Game Crown the next day.
Anna "So what do you think about this new enemy?"
Mina "Those crystals from people must be important. Each one of them probably varies in power. But that aside, who were those other scouts? Have you heard of them?"
Anna shook her head.
Mina "Well, we'll find out soon. Anyway, do you think a guy could be a scout? Because that one scout looked as hot as Amara…"
She began to blush again.
Anna "Oh, yeah. Um, about that…Mina, there's something about Amara: she's a girl."
Mina snorted.
Mina "Yeah, right. As if. There's no way Amara's a…GIRL!!??"
Mina stared gawking at the entrance while Anna looked as well. Amara and Michelle walked into the arcade looking for some fun. Amara wasn't wearing her jacket, showing her white shirt and true body figure.
Anna "Hey, girls. What's up?"
Amara "What's wrong with Mina?"
They all stared at Mina's bizarre expression.
Michelle "Oh, I get it. You thought Amara was a boy, right?"
Mina accepted the truth. She fell to the ground with childish shame and wept stubbornly. Amara and Michelle walked by and continued to venture the arcade.
Amara "Yeah, that happens a lot; I'm a girl."
Anna bent down and patted Mina on the back pitifully.
Anna (taunting) "Tried to tell ya…"
As Mina continued to sob, Anna explored all the possibilities of how her new "friends" would be like. There were the new scouts to still worry about, but stayed content with the life she already had. New surprises awaited the scouts…as they still tried to sort out gender issues.
Mina (crying) "He's…he's a girl…"
Anna "Yes, aren't we all?"
