Chapter 3
Mercury and Pluto's new Powers awaken
"For the fifth time Usagi, you have to have a common denominator before you can add or subtract the fractions," Ami sighed.
"Where are Chibiusa and the others? They're an hour late," Usagi said, ignoring Ami's comment.
"Usagi, are you paying attention? You're going to fail your class," Ami said sternly.
Usagi, Ami, Makoto, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, and Mamoru were all studying together at Rei's temple.
"I know Ami but studying just isn't for me." Usagi said as she picked up one of Rei's comic books and began to laugh out loud.
"She's hopeless," Makoto said shaking her head.
"Hey guys!"
Everyone looked up. It was Rei, followed by Chibiusa, Minako, and Hotaru.
"Hey...why are you guys transformed? Did something happen?" Setsuna asked, sounding alarmed.
"Oh…I guess in all the excitement we forgot to change back," Rei replied. The four girls touched their transformation pens and changed back to normal.
"Is it just me, or did your uniforms look slightly different?" Haruka asked.
"Yes, I noticed too. You guys wanna explain what happened?" Michiru asked.
"Well, Hotaru, Chibiusa, Rei and I were leaving the mall when we saw this woman get attacked by another woman who called herself Fuji. They appeared to be looking for 'Colored Purity Shards.' What they are and what they're good for I'm not sure, but they took this poor innocent woman's Purity Shard, and it turned out not to be what Fuji wanted, so she left, leaving us to deal with one of her pawns, Tutu. Tutu is much stronger than any pawn we've ever faced, and if the pawn is that strong, the mastermind behind all this must be incredible. Anyway, our transformation pens suddenly changed, enabling us to change into Eternal Sailor Soldiers, and it gave us new powers as well, making us able to defeat Tutu." Minako explained.
"So, we have a new enemy…" Setsuna whispered.
Hotaru nodded. "Rei and I could sense it before we even saw it. We cannot underestimate these enemies for an instant, or it will be our downfall. But I believe in us, I believe in our power. We can beat the enemy."
Usagi nodded. "But while we're enemy free for the moment, who wants to go to the soccer game?"
"I'd love to. Junko is playing, and she's my good friend and an excellent player!" Ami exclaimed.
The rest agreed to go, and decided to meet at the stadium in an hour. Everyone left the temple but Usagi, Rei, Ami, and Chibiusa.
"We'll use the hour we have for studying," Ami said.
"Awwwww but Ami…" Usagi whined.
"No buts. I'm putting my foot down this time Usagi, you really need to study," Ami replied sternly.
"Yeah you really do meatball head!" Rei chimed in.
Usagi huffed. "And what are you going to do in this remaining hour, Rei?"
"I'm going to clean up the temple before we leave," She replied.
An hour soon went by, and Usagi, Chibiusa, Rei and Ami met the others at the Stadium.
"We're a little early, so I'm going to go talk to Junko for a moment," Ami said, excusing herself.
"Hey, Ami!" Junko called to her friend, finding Ami before Ami could find her.
"Junko! I'm so excited to be able to watch you play!" Ami said warmly.
"Yeah, it's gonna be a great game, we're playing our rivals and we're both good teams!" Junko said excitedly.
"It should be an interesting game!" Ami said.
Junko nodded. Just then, a whistle was heard.
"Well, that's my cue to get on the field. I'll talk to you after the game, Ami!"
"Okay, good luck Junko!" Ami said as she made her way back up to the stadium, where Usagi and Minako were already licking away at an ice cream cone.
"This is what you two are gonna look like if you keep eating all that ice cream!" Rei sneered, holding up a picture she drew of a very large Usagi and Minako.
"Rei!" They screamed in unison.
Usagi took the picture, tore it up and threw the tiny pieces everywhere.
"I can eat and eat and eat and not gain a pound!" Usagi said grinning.
"That's all about to change," Chibiusa whispered into Rei's ear. They laughed.
"Hey, I heard that!" Usagi squealed.
"Shhh, the game is starting!" Makoto said.
The group sat at the edge of their seats as the ball when back and forth between players.
Ami stood up and cheered. "Oh, look Junko scored everyone!"
The group stood up and cheered.
Behind the stadium, Fuji stood in a quite, abandoned corner by the bathrooms, wearing a disguise of jeans, a white tank top and sunglasses. She took her rope out of her pocket and flicked it once.
"After the game, I will get Junko alone, and then…" Fuji snickered. "And then I'll snatch her Purity Shard right from her! I will not fail this time!" Fuji let out a loud shriek of laughter, until she realized she was getting strange looks.
She sweatdropped. "Uhhh just going to the bathroom!" Fuji laughed nervously and ran inside.
As the end of the game drew nearer, more of the group had to leave until all that was left was Usagi, Setsuna, Ami, and Chibiusa.
"Oh good job, Junko!" Ami cheered out loud as her friend scored the winning goal. The crowd began to make their way out of the stadium as the game ended.
"Oh, I need to use the restroom. Please tell Junko for me I'll be out in a second to congratulate her!" Ami told Usagi.
"Will do!" She replied.
"I'm coming with you, Ami," Setsuna said.
"Oh, congratulations Junko! You were amazing!" Usagi said gleefully.
"Thanks Usagi, I appreciate it!" Junko smiled.
"Oh, and Ami's just in the restroom so she'll be out in a second." Usagi said.
Junko nodded. "Okay."
"I'll be right back too, I'm going to make one last trip to the snack bar!" Usagi said.
Junko laughed. "Alright, Usagi!"
"Finally, I have her alone!" Fuji whispered to herself as she emerged from her hiding spot.
"Hello, miss Junko! Nice game," Fuji said slyly.
"Thanks…do I know you?" Junk asked nervously.
"No, but I certainly know you!" Fuji said, ripping off her disguise and revealing her true self.
Junko screamed. "Who are you and what do you want?"
"Just your Purity Shard!" Fuji said.
Junko screamed as Fuji's rope went inside her chest, dragging out her Purity Shard. Immediately, Junko's grin faded.
"DAMN! It isn't colored!" Fuji swore.
"You stop right there!"
"Who's there?" Fuji snarled.
"It's Sailor Moon, champion of love and justice!"
Fuji smirked. "Another sailor twit? Goalie will take care of you!"
"Goalie? Whaaaaa?" Sailor Moon asked clearly confused.
"Arise, goalie!"
Out of the ground appeared a soccer ball with a female head, arms and legs.
"Mmmm, Goalie here!"
"Take care of this Sailor brat!" Fuji said as she disappeared in the Black Star in the sky.
"You won't score with goalie around! Haaa!" Goalie launched a series of soccer balls straight at Sailor Moon's head.
"Eeeek! Owieeeeee that hurt!" Sailor Moon wailed.
"There's much more where that came from, ahahaha!" Goalie laughed as she launched another set of Soccer balls at Sailor Moon.
"I've had enough!" Sailor Moon said, taking out her scepter.
But before she could use it, Goalie shot out another round of balls, knocking the scepter out of her hands, and knocking Sailor Moon hard to the ground.
Ami opened the doors to the bathroom and gasped at the scene she saw before her.
"Setsuna, we have a Purity Shard Snatcher, Sailor Moon needs our help!"
"Right! PLUTO PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!"
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!"
Sailor Moon slowly got to her feet. "I will not give up…"
"MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!"
"DEAD SCREAM!"
The combined attacks knocked down Goalie, but only for a second.
"YOU'LL PAY!" Goalie snarled as she kicked several balls in the direction of Sailor Pluto and Sailor Mercury.
"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!" Sailor Mercury screamed, turning the balls to ice and halting them before they could be hit.
Goalie was so furious that she attacked Sailor Mercury and Sailor Pluto head on, knocking them to the ground full force.
"No! Mercury! Pluto!" Sailor Moon cried as she watched the scene in front of her in horror.
"You're mine!" Goalie screamed, she was about to pounce on the two when a red rose struck Goalie in the face.
"Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Moon breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now is a time where we have to give it our all against what is possibly our strongest enemy yet," Tuxedo Mask said. "Our powers are changing."
As he said that, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Pluto's transforming pens began to float above them. They both changed to a golden stick with a star on top and miniature white wings coming from the stars. Sailor Mercury's star was blue, and Sailor Pluto's star was dark green.
"PLUTO ETERNAL MAKE UP!"
"MERCURY ETERNAL MAKE UP!"
The two sailors felt themselves undergoing change, and new power surging through them.
"MERCURY ICE CRYSTALS!"
Sailor Mercury clapped her hands together, and when she separated them, a large icicle was in her hands. She threw it at full speed towards Goalie, and it separated into several large icicles, piercing through the enemy.
"PLUTO TIME KEY ACTIVATE!"
Sailor Pluto gripped her Time Key and thrust it forward, causing a blast of dark green energy to run full speed at Goalie.
The two powers combined weakened Goalie substantially.
"Hurry Sailor Moon, finish the job!" Sailor Mercury called out.
"Right!" Sailor Moon said, reaching for her scepter.
"SILVER CRYSTAL POWER KISS!"
Goalie let out a loud shriek as she was eliminated forever.
"Are you feeling better, Junko?" Ami asked.
"Much better, thank you! But what happened to me? I can't remember a thing!"
"Oh…you just fainted," Setsuna replied.
"Probably from all the excitement from the game," Usagi reasoned.
"Fuji I have nothing to say to you. Go find your next target." Queen Aneko said.
"Yes your highness." Fuji left to her office with a bow.
"I have already found one," Fuji said to herself. "Nobu Watanabe, schoolteacher. Your Purity Shard is mine!"
