Chapter 5-Usagi the vampire Slayer

Usagi followed the scooby gang and got into the car. A strange man joined the group. They called him Xander. He kept staring. Everyone piled into Xander's car, except Dawn. She decided to stay in case Buffy miraculously pop up. Willow set up a strong barrier around the house before she joined the group. Just in case, she thought.

Tara stayed by Usagi's side for the entire trip. The fangirl could not believe that she would have the opportunity to take care of her hero. Usagi finally smiled warmly and said a simple "thank you". Tara handed a jacket to Usagi. "This is Buffy's jacket. You guys looked the same size. Put it on. It's getting colder now."

Usagi slipped into the red leather jacket. It fit surprisingly well. She wondered who this Buffy was. Must be the gang's friend. She could tell Buffy was very much loved. "Tara-san, can I just call you Tara? I hope you guys get your Buffy back. I am sure she misses you guys, just as much as I miss mine. I am not sure how much I can help, but I will do my best."

On the ride to the magic shop, Tara tried to explain their current situation to Usagi. Big evil coming and Dawn was the key. Destroy the key and stop the apocalypse. But right now they were all trying to protect Dawn. Buffy is the slayer, the strongest warrior in this world, and she was their only hope of stopping the apocalypse. "Giles is Buffy's superior, sort of. He initially was against the plan. He just had a different philosophy, that's all."

"He wanted to sacrifice Dawn?" Usagi's surprise insight shocked everyone. She sighed audibly. No wonder she mistook Dawn as Hotaru earlier. The innocence in her eyes. Usagi remembered the time when Chibiusa, the scouts, Hotaru and she were trapped in an alternate dimension. They realized they couldn't teleport out if they had to take Hotaru too. Overhearing that, Hotaru volunteered to stay behind and begged them to save Chibiusa. She had the same innocent eyes. Usagi gripped her brooch tightly. She needed to go back and save everyone, including Hotaru.

The car stopped in front of a closed store. Usagi stepped out and peeked through the window. "Go in, it's open." Tara pushed the door ajar and gestured for Usagi to follow.

An old man approached and shot an angry look at Willow. Usagi took a step back as he continued to approach.

"Hi, I am Giles." He extended his hand.

Usagi took in and shook it quickly. "My name is Usagi."

"Let me give you a low down. This is all I know about Sailor Moon. Usagi here is Sailor Moon, she is like THE slayer in her world. " Xander tried to explain to Giles. "Buffy went into the TV and she came out of the TV. We need to put her back into the TV and get Buffy back."

"Thank you, Xander." Giles took off his glasses and wiped them with a cloth. His sarcastic tone was missed by Xander entirely.

He gently approached Usagi and walked around her. "This is fascinating."

"Giles, I am so sorry." Willow looked down and apologized to Giles. She never meant for any of this to happen. She thought she was a powerful witch now, one that wouldn't screw up spells. Her friends were always hurt by her not-so-stable powers.

Just then, fireballs came crashing through the window. Tara grabbed Usagi and ducked under the table. The others were busy putting out the fire as Willow started chanting. Another fireball came hurling from the back of the store, knocking over one of the shelves. It landed directly on Willow's head and the witch went out like a light.

The magic shop was thick with smoke now. Fire slowly spread, consuming, as it climbed up the walls. "Backdoor, NOW!" Giles and Xander grabbed Willow from under the Shelves, while Anya and Tara grabbed Usagi.

"Time to transform, Princess. Let's see how you fight." Anya said to Usagi.

Even though she was still in shock, seeing the sight of people getting hurt was enough to awaken the senshi inside Usagi.

"Moon Cosmic Power Make Up!" Sailor Moon felt the power washed over her. She needed to protect these people.

"Sailor soldier of love and justice, Sailor Moon. I won't let you monsters hurt my new friends. In the name of the Moon, I will punish you."

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Tara couldn't help but let a happy squeal out of her mouth. She didn't say this to anyone but she had total faith in Sailor Moon. Now that she's here, they would be okay.

The gang of vampires slowly advanced. The leader let out a throaty laugh. "Did the slayer fall into the rabbit hole and came out with meatball head? Is this a joke? So, the slayer is gone. The witch is unconscious. Time to feast, boys."

"You miscounted. There is another witch." Tara looked up. "You don't mess with my girls." She held up one hand as she started chanting. An energy barrier appeared and wrapped everyone safely inside.

Tara knew Sailor Moon needed time to power up. "Now, Sailor Moon."

"Spiral Moon Heart Attack." A spiral of energy came out of her moon rod and the vampires didn't even stand a chance.

And with that, Sailor Moon slayed her first vampires.
