Betrayed
Chapter Four: What to do now?
Usagi walked through the halls of the high school alone, until Naru ran up to her.
"Hey" She said quietly, locking arms with her best friend. "Are you okay" Usagi turned to face Naru and smiled. The girl had always been there for her, even when Usagi sometimes forgot about her with all of her scout missions.
"I hope so" She said softly. Usagi and Naru continued walking, until they spotted Makoto, Ami and Minako up ahead laughing and having a good time. "Excuse me" Usagi said, tears in her eyes. She left the school and was rounding the corner when she bumped into Mamoru. She almost laughed when she saw the black eye he had. Mamoru gripped her by the shoulder, and held the ring out to her.
"What's the meaning of this?" He asked. "Do you really want to throw everything away?"
"Let go of me" Usagi snapped angrily. "I know all about you and Rei. Now take your stupid ring and leave me alone" She pulled away from him and began walking away, but he grabbed her arm and spun her to face him.
"What about Rini?" He asked. Usagi decided not to tell him the truth just yet.
"You should have though of that before you cheated on me" She snapped.
"Rei is graceful, beautiful and smart" Mamoru said smirking. "You will be merely be my trophy wife"
"You don't get it do you!" Usagi shouted. "I am not going to marry you, ever! You won't be king of the future, you destroyed that right when you cheated on me. I need someone who loves me. We're through" Mamoru raised his hand and slapped her. Stung, Usagi places a hand to her cheek and stared at him.
"You will marry me" Mamoru said. "It's our destiny" He gripped her by the shoulders again, harder this time. She struggled to pull away. Suddenly Seiya, who had been watching the scene, decided to step in.
"Is this man bothering you Usa?" He asked. Mamoru turned to the popstar.
"I am her fiance" He snapped.
"Ex-fiance" Usagi said. "Leave, now" Mamoru dropped his hands from her shoulders and walked away. When he was gone, Usagi burst into tears and collapsed in Seiya's arms. He held her until she was done crying. "You must think I'm pathetic"
"Not at all" Seiya said. "You've been through alot. Would you like me to take you home?"
"Please" Usagi whispered. Seiya smiled and offered her a helmet. She climbed on the back of his motorcycle and he drove her to her house. When she entered the house, she was greeted by her parents, Chibi-Usa and Shingo.
"Usagi, something's going on" Ikuko said, "And we'd like to know what it is"
In a large TV studio building, in a cluttered office, Iron Mouse was sitting at a TV editing console, wearing her pinstripe duds. She zoomed through several clips of people doing various athletics, then went back to a large guy in an American football uniform (number 13) and decided that he was the next target. As she was admiring his physique, the phone rang. She walked over to a desk with a phone on it, opened the file drawers, revealing a second phone, and answered that.
"Nezu producer, the president is calling for you." A voice on the other end said.
Usagi finished telling her family what had happened, and how she had broken off her engagement to Mamoru because of what he had done. Kenji was ready to go beat Mamoru up, but Ikuko calmed him down.
"So who was the guy who gave you a ride home?" Shingo asked.
"Just a guy I know" Usagi said, neglecting to tell them his name. She didn't think they'd believe her if she did.
The next day, Usagi and Naru were walking to school, when they saw a crowd of girls gathered out front, with Minako, Ami and Makoto starry-eyed front and center.
"What's up?" Naru asked one of the other students.
"The Three Lights are coming here" the student replied. Naru and Usagi looked at each other and grinned. Naru of course, knew about Usagi's escapade with the Three Lights. The girls watched a van pull up, and suddenly Rei popped out from behind Ami.
"Rei-chan!..." Makoto said. Needless to say, they were surprised to see her at their school, Usagi just rolled her eyes.
The three lights got out of the van, and Rei rushed up and showed them her Three Lights fan club card (number 2906). Makoto shouldered Rei aside and pulled out her fan club card (number 1606). Then Minako butted in, and showed her card (number 278). Ami came up, VERY embarrassed, and showed HER fan club card (number 25), which was colored gold. Usagi just shook her head.
Seiya, Taiki and Yaten spotted Usagi in the crowd and grinned. Seiya jogged over to her.
"Hey Usa" He said. Usagi smiled.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming here?" She asked. Seiya shrugged.
"I honestly didn't know you went here" He said.
"Come on Lover boy" Taiki and Yaten called. Usagi blushed as Seiya kissed her hand and then jogged back towards the other two.
"Why do you know Seiya?" Rei demanded. Usagi turned to face her ex-friend.
"Perhaps because he was there for me when you four dumped me and stole my fiance" She snapped, spinning on her heel and stalking away. Naru glared at the four girls.
"Leave Usagi-chan alone" She said. "You've caused her enough damage" She left them and ran after Usagi.
In the classroom, the teacher introduced the three new students. Minako enthusiastically pointed out an empty seat next to her, which Yaten took. Taiki sat down in front of Makoto, and Seiya took the seat behind Usagi.
"Would you be willing to show me around the school?" Seiya whispered in her ear. Usagi giggled and nodded.
"I'd love to" She replied. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Makoto and Minako were glaring daggers at her.
Meanwhile, Iron Mouse was lurking around outside the school.
In the gym, Seiya was playing basketball. He stole the ball from one of the players, streaked down the court, and dunked the ball. The large crowd of girls watching was very impressed, especially Minako. Rei popped out again, prompting another round of "Rei-chan! What are you doing at our school?"
"I ran here after school." Rei replied.
Taiki and Yaten were watching, and seemed less enthusiastic. Minako spotted them, and latched onto Taiki. Taiki seemed non-plussed, but Minako dragged him off with an arm around his neck. Usagi just shook her head and sighed.
"Oi, Usa, where should we go next?" Seiya asked, jogging over to her.
"What about football practice" She said grinning, "Do you play?" Seiya shrugged.
"Sometimes" He said. He took her hand and they walked out of the gym.
Outside, Seiya and Usagi were watching the American football team practice. The ball was knocked out of one of the players' hands, and landed in front of Seiya. He picked it up, and told Usagi to watch him make a touchdown. Seiya took off down the field, dodging player after player. But just as he was getting within reach of the endzone, number 13 (the captain of the team, Kayama) ran up behind him, and knocked him over - much to his surprise.
"Seiya!" Usagi cried, running over. She helped him up. "Are you alright"
"I'm fine" Seiya said, smiling. "It's no biggy"
Later, Kayama was cooling off under a faucet, when Iron Mouse appeared, still in her civies.
"May I have an interview" She asked, rubbing up against his muscles, much to his consternation. Then she changed into her Mouse outfit, and attacked him. Inside, Usagi was at the shoe locker, and heard the screams.
Outside, the flower had appeared on Kayama's forehead, and a crystal came out of it. However, the crystal turned black, and Iron Mouse was disappointed.
"That's not the star seed that I'm looking for." She frowned
Sailor Moon transformed, and went through her speech. Iron Mouse turned the football player into the Monster-of-the-Day, stepped into her phone booth, and vanished.
The monster (Sailor Guts) was... basically, the football player, turned pink, and dressed in a miniature version of Sailor Moon's outfit, complete with little wings. Sailor Moon was taken aback. The monster prepared his attack, which was hurling globs of sweat. Sailor Moon dodged this rather smelly attack, and was about to be hit by a second one when a Jupiter Oak Evolution knocked the sweat-glob out of the air.
The other Senshi appeared, and the monster started hurling dozens of globs of sweat. The Senshi all dodged the attacks, holding their noses. Then they heard finger-snapping, and the Star Lights appeared and introduce themselves.
"Even with the five of you, is this your strength? Are you still sailor senshi?" The white haired man asked. The monster threw a sweat thing at them, but Star Maker does his attack (star gentle uterus) and reflected it back at him.
"Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss" Eternal Sailor Moon attacked and healed the football player. She turned to look, but the Star Lights were already gone. She turned to her soldiers.
"Why are you here?" She asked.
"Our duty is to protect this planet" Sailor Mars declared.
"Not anymore" Eternal Sailor Moon said. She pointed her moon rod at them. Each of the senshi felt thier power draining and were detransformed.
"What have you done?" Rei snapped. None of them noticed that the Star lights were hiding and watching this exchange.
"I have taken your power, for you do not deserve to have it" Eternal Sailor Moon said. "I will give these powers to someone who is worthy, someone who will not forsake me. You may live the rest of your life as normal teenagers. You will never experience the 30th century, you will never have to fight again" With that, Eternal Sailor Moon left the scene, leaving her ex-friends shell shocked.
