Makoto Kino runs into her old childhood friend from one of her old schools, Moka Akashiya. They reconnect and Makoto discovers a secret about her when an enemy attacks. I do not own "Sailor Moon" or "Rosario + Vampire", all rights belong to Naoko Takeuchi and Akihisa Ikeda respectively. Takes place during the "Dream Arc" of SM and right after Vol 1 Ch. 39 of R+V.
Note: Moka and Sailor Jupiter being friends was actually inspired by another one of my fanfictions "Phantom and a Vampire" where the two girls meet because their boyfriends are engaging in an exhibition fight (warning, I only got three reviews. I admit that I got super lazy as I wrote and tried to include too much at once. No one was reviewing so I just wanted to finish it). They do spar and respect each other, even though there is a rivalry between them over which of their boyfriends is more powerful. This story is unrelated to that story though.

This story takes place during the "Dream Arc" of SM (mostly based on manga but there are also references to the anime, imagine similar things happened "off screen") and right after Vol 1 Ch. 39 of R+V.
Moka POV
Moka Akashiya, Mizore Shirayuki, Kurumu Kurono and Yukari Sendo were being escorted back to Yokai Academy after a rather disastrous visit to their friend Tsukune Aono's house in the human world. School was out, so Tsukune returned to his home to visit his parents. He was happily surprised by the appearance of Moka at his front door. Then he was less happily surprised to find Kurumu having snuck into his bed, Mizore in his closet then Yukari came in from the window. Long story short, three of those four girls engaged in a fight that destroyed a playground and Moka had to remove her rosary to stop them.
Tsukune, his mother, cousin and father waved them goodbye as they were being escorted back to the Academy by Ruby Tojo in a bus. It would have been a short drive to Yokai Academy, but fate had other plans.
"Alright girls, we'll be stopping here to get gas then we'll be continuing our trip back to school." Ruby says pulling up to a nearby gas station.
Kurumu looks outside.
"Where are we exactly?" The succubus asks.
"We're in a nice little town called Juban." Ruby explains.
Moka and Yukari perk up hearing that word.
"Juban?" Moka asks, she had definitely been to Juban before.
Juban is one of the places that she lived when she was young before coming to Yokai academy. One of the places where she went to human school as a little girl after getting her rosary.
"Hey I know this place!" Yukari screams excitedly. "This is where Sailor Moon lives!"
Mizore and Kurumu turn to the young witch confused.
"Whose Sailor Moon?" The yuki-onna (snow woman) ask's.
"She's a witch who goes around protecting humans in this city!" Yukari exclaims. "She's like a real life superhero! And she's very pretty too. Plus she wears short skirts."
Yukari stares drooling.
"She was actually my crush before I met you, Moka."
"Yukari, Sailor Moon isn't a witch." Ruby says.
"Of course she is!"
Yukari pulls out a poster of Sailor Moon. To her left is Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Venus and Sailor Mars. To her right is Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury. Sailor Moon is holding up her heart-shaped moon-rod, which Yukari points at.
"Look, her wand looks like mine!" Yukari shouts, holding up her own wand. "And I bet the rest of her group are yokai disguised as humans too! Sailor Mercury's gotta be a Yuki-Onna since she can control water and ice. Sailor Jupiter can shoot lightning so she is probably a raiju. Sailor Mars, I assume, is half witch and half yoko since she can shoot fire and uses talismans. And I assume her boyfriend Tuxedo-Mask and Sailor Venus are witches too!"
"Yukari, I've seen them on TV, they aren't Yokai." Ruby says. "I don't know how they do what they do. But if they are Yōkai, they would have been arrested a long time ago for exposing themselves to the human world."
"Maybe they are human hybrids?" Mizore suggests. "Maybe their Yokai mothers found their own human men to love them and settled in the human world with them."
Mizore says thinking about a possible future where she is happily married to Tsukune. Living in the human world with him while their children run around. Their son looks like a young Tsukune but he shoots ice from his hands. Tsukune and Mizore smile proudly at him. In real life, Mizore blushes and sighs.
"Yeah. That could be true." Kurumu says, blushing while thinking of her own scenario of being married to Tsukune.
Their daughter goes around using her charm to attract many boys. Kurumu watches proudly at her daughter while Tsukune gets angry.
"Maybe they could all be siblings."
Yukari drools while thinking about a single human man surrounded by several Yōkai women (a witch, a raiju girl, a yuki-onna and a yōko girl). All of which have attractive bodies, the man is muscular and the women are curvaceous, and half dressed.
"Yeah."
Ruby starts blushing and smiling lustfully in her own thoughts. Her fantasy is a lot like Yukari's except everyone is wearing S&M clothing.
"Um, didn't we come here to get gas?" Moka, the only one isn't lost in a fantasy, ask's.
A loud honking sound snaps the three other girls out of their fantasies. They look behind them and they see a human man, in his car, shouting at them to "Get gas or go!" Before honking again.
"Sorry! One sec!" Ruby shouts.
As Ruby moves to get out of the car, Moka stands up.
"May I use the restroom?" She asks.
"A gas station bathroom?" Ruby laughs. "Go ahead, it's your funeral."
Moka leaves the bus, causing Kurumu to become furious.
"Hey! You said no one but you get to leave the bus until we're back at school!"
"No I said "you three", Moka didn't destroy a playground." Ruby clarifies.
Yukari, Mizore and Kurumu sigh.
…
Makoto POV
Makoto "Mako" Kino is walking down the street with her friends Usagi Tsukino, Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino and Minako Aino. They have left the arcade and they are just walking through town.
"I'm telling you. That boy playing the street-fighter game looked just like my old senpai!" Makoto says.
"Mako, you say that about every cute guy!" Ami says.
"Honestly, sometimes I doubt your senpai was even real." Rei adds.
Mako huffs in annoyance.
"Oh come on girls. Mako is just looking for Mr. Right." Minako says.
"I'm sure Mamoru could set you up with someone." Usagi says, then she squeals excitedly. "We could even double date."
"I already know Ittou." Makoto says. "I really like him, but we haven't talked in a while. He's been busy with school and I've been busy with…other stuff."
"Me and Ryo are making it work." Ami reminds her. "Sure we took a break for a while, dating a psychic isn't easy and my sailor duties didn't help much, but we've been giving US another go and it's going well."
Makoto smiles.
"Yeah. Ittou is the sweetest guy I've ever met." She says fondly. "He's the only guy who's never been put off by me being taller than him and he accepts my sailor side. Maybe-"
"Oh, hold on girls. I'm going to get a candy bar." Usagi says pointing at the gas station to their left.
"Usagi, you just had ice cream at the arcade." Says Rei.
"That was strawberry. Now I want chocolate." Usagi says before running inside.
Ami shakes her head amusedly while Rei groans.
"I know she's our princess but that girl acts so much like a child sometimes." Rei groans.
"I'll make sure she doesn't blow her allowance." Makoto says, following Usagi in.
"I better go too." Says Minako.
The rest of the girls walk inside the gas station with her. As they pass by a bus, a young girl in a witch hat notices them and she gasps in awe while the driver is shocked.
Being witches, Yukari and Ruby are able to see through the magical filter that prevents normal people from realizing the Sailor Guardians true identities. Yukari tries to run outside to greet her heroes but Ruby stops her, reminding her that she isn't supposed to leave the bus. Yukari sits down, feeling dejected.
…
Moka POV
Moka uses some herbs from a plastic bag in her pocket. Being a vampire, pure water stings her so she has to at least have herbs in her hands to distill water from a human restroom sink first before washing her hands. She dries her hands off and exits the bathroom. But as she prepares to walk out the door the cashier calls to her.
"Hey where do you think you're going, Pinky?" He asks. "I told you before, the bathroom is for paying customers only."
Moka turns back around.
"Oh, sorry."
Moka walks over to the candy section, where there are now five girls, so she can buy a cheap candy bar before getting back to the bus. However the tallest of the girls, and an inch taller than Moka, snaps at the cashier.
"Hey, don't be a jerk! And who forces someone to buy something just to use a bathroom anyways?"
As soon as Moka hears that voice, see's her long reddish-brown wavy hair in a ponytail and gets a look at her big green eyes, a single name comes to mind.
"Mako? Makoto Kino?" Moka gaps.
Makoto turns around to look at the girl dubbed "Pinky" by the cashier and Makoto's eyes widen in shock. She was a lot older now, but that pink hair was recognizable.
"M-Moka!?"
"Mako!" Moka screams before running into a hug the taller (and dumbstruck) girl. "I can't believe it! It's been years! How are you?"
Makoto pulls her away.
"How am I!? How are you still alive!? I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"
The other girls watch the exchange confused. However, Rei looks at the girl with something else. As a priestess she senses something off about this girl. Something supernatural.
"Uh, Mako. Who is this?" Usagi asks.
"Oh girls, this is Moka Akashiya. We went to fourth grade together." Makoto says. "Moka, these are my friends. Usagi, Ami, Minako and Rei."
Moka bows.
"It's nice to meet you all." She says.
Rei stares at Moka. She can sense a strong and dark aura within her. At first she thinks that she may be involved with the Dead Moon Circus. Even so, her friendly smile gives off the impression that she means no harm. Regardless, Rei decides that it's best to keep an eye on her.
"Thanks." Ami says. "Now why would Mako think you would be dead?"
"Because last time I saw her a crazy girl with a hockey mask and a chainsaw attacked her!" Makoto says. "She ran away screaming and I tried to step in but that crazy person just kicked me away. I flew into a wall. When I woke up I was told she moved to another school. And that's when I started my martial arts training." Makoto turns back to Moka. "I thought she would have killed you!"
"Oh no. Kokoa never wanted to kill me. She was just trying to get me to fight back and bring out…bring out, a sealed away part of myself." Moka explains.
"Kokoa? You knew her?" Minako questions.
"My little sister." Moka says.
Makoto and the others gape at her.
"YOUR SISTER!?" They all shout at once.
"That is one crazy family you come from!" Shouts Ami.
The cashier rings the bell on his table very loudly, catching the girl's attention.
"Excuse me! Buy something! Now!"
…
Ruby POV
Ruby has just finished filling the bus with gas, but when she turns the ignition key nothing happens. Ruby opens the hood to the front and checks inside.
"God damn it!" Ruby exclaims.
"What is it?" Yukari asks.
"The battery just up and died." Ruby says annoyed. "Can you believe it?"
"Can't we just jumpstart it?" Asks Kurumu.
"No, it's dead-dead." Ruby says. "And humans don't sell the same car batteries as us."
The cars behind her honk.
"SHUT UP THE BATTERY DIED!" Ruby yells at them.
She takes out her cell phone and dials a number.
"I'm gonna call a tow truck. Then I'll call the headmaster to send someone to bring us a new battery."
"Ruby-Sama!" Moka shouts as she approaches the bus with company.
The girls see Moka approaching the bus with a tall reddish-brown haired girl, two blonde girls, a blue haired girl and a dark haired girl. Kurumu and Mizore wonder why Moka is hanging out with human girls while Ruby and Yukari's eyes nearly budge out of their sockets. Kurumu, Mizore and Yukari exit the vehicle and they approach Moka and the other girls.
"You won't believe who I just ran into!" Moka tells her friends.
"Uh, WE know who you just ran into-" Yukari says pointing between herself and Ruby. "-but you tell us who you think you ran into."
"Everyone, this is Mako. Makoto Kino." Moka says gesturing to the tall girl. "She was one of my friends from one of the schools I went to before going to the Academy. Mako, these are my friends from my current school."
The Yokai girls nod. They all knew that Moka had to go to several different human schools before enrolling at Yokai Academy.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you." Makoto says. "These are my friends Usagi, Rei, Ami and Minako." Makoto says. gesturing to each of her friends who waves.
"Hi, nice to meet you Makoto." Ruby says. "I'm Ruby."
"I'm Yukinari!"
"I'm Kurumu."
"Mizore."
Rei's eyes widen as she looks at each of them. All of these girls have a sort of supernatural aura surrounding them. Seeing the four of them together actually made Rei feel kind of nervous. However, she doesn't sense any evil intentions from any of them, although the way the 14 year old is looking at her and her friends freaks her out.
Ami notices the bus.
"Having car trouble?" She asks. "Or should I say bus trouble?"
"Battery's no good." Ruby explains. "I am about to call someone to fix it but it will still be a couple hours before they get here."
Ruby dials the number on her phone and answers it.
"Hey, in the meantime how's about we show you girls around Juban?" Makoto asks. "I mean, I would love to catch up with an old friend. I didn't have many when I was young."
"YES!" Yukari shouts with stars in her eyes.
She is excited to be able to spend some time with the Sailor Guardians.
"Hold on. Ruby-San said that we need to stay with the bus." Kurumu says.
"And that it needs to be towed." Adds Mizore.
"Ok, thanks. See you soon." Ruby says into the phone before hanging up and addressing the other girls. "Ok so a tow truck will be here in a few minutes to take us to a parking space and I just got off the phone with the headmaster. They won't be here for at least another hour. So sure, let's check out the town."
"Great!" Exclaims Usagi. "Hey do you guys wanna go to the mall? They have everything! A jewelry store! An arcade! Ice cream!"
"Usagi, we just came back from ice cream." Rei reminds her.
"You can never have too much ice cream." Usagi says.
"We should probably wait for the bus to be towed first." Ami says.
Ruby whispers to Yukari.
"Listen to me. Don't tell these girls that we recognize them as the Sailor Guardians."
"Why not?" Yukari whispers back. "I wanna have them sign my poster."
"I'm still not convinced that they are yokai." Ruby says.
"You sensed their auras too didn't you?" Yukari asks.
"Yes, they are certainly powerful. But their magic…it didn't feel earthly. Not human and not Yōkai. It felt different…celestial. Just keep quiet for now, ok?"
Yukari sighs.
"Yes, ma'am."
…
The girls all decide to wait inside the bus until the tow-truck comes. As they wait, Yukari decides to break the ice.
"So Moka, how do you know this Mako girl?"
"Like I said we went to school together." Moka says.
"I want more of a story than that." Yukari says.
"I wanna know more too." Says Usagi. "I'm sure you two have an interesting story."
Usagi thinks about Moka telling them that the girl who supposedly tried to kill her with a chainsaw was her own sister.
"Ok, you want a story we'll tell you one." Says Moka. "So I was around ten at the time. My father had just sent me to go to school in the hu-I mean he sent me to school away from home."
'And sealed my powers with this rosary, but I can't tell Mako that.' Moka thinks.
"I arrived at Juban Elementary school and let's just say I wasn't very popular."
"She went around telling people she was a vampire." Makoto adds, remembering all the times Moka got laughed at. "Seriously, what was up with that?" She asks Moka.
Moka chuckles nervously.
"Ah well, you know kids and their active imaginations." Moka says, thinking of an excuse.
Yukari raises an eyebrow. Makoto asked that like Moka was crazy. Not crazy as in: why would she reveal herself like that? But crazy as in: vampires, are you serious? It makes her think that maybe Ruby is right.
"So these jerks started teasing her and throwing stuff at her during recess." Makoto says.
Makoto becomes angry, remembering seeing Moka cry as she ran from the other kids throwing things at her. They were calling her a freak the whole time. Mockingly asking her why she doesn't just turn into a bat and fly away if she really is a vampire.
"So I stepped in. I kicked their butts and then we became friends."
Makoto says, remembering her stepping between Moka (who was sitting on the ground and crying) and the kids who were bullying her. Then the kids ran away with black eyes while Makoto kindly extended a hand to Moka to help her get up.
"After that we started sitting together at lunch. Playing together after school. It was nice to have a friend." Moka says.
Moka remembers beaming with joy after Makoto offered her a piece of her lunch while Makoto questioned why Moka's lunch only consisted of a can of tomato juice. She also remembers the two lying on the floor of Makoto's apartment drawing together (Moka draws a bat while Makoto draws herself as a superhero). And then she remembers Makoto pushing her on the swing.
"Yeah, good times." Makoto says, fondly. "I still can't believe how much stronger you were than me."
Makoto says, remembering when Moka tried pushing HER on the swing. Moka was covering her mouth in embarrassment as Makoto was lying face first on the ground several yards away from the swing.
"You are ridiculously strong for someone who doesn't know how to fight." Makoto says and Moka blushes.
Hearing this isn't anything new to the girls from Yokai Academy but Makoto's friends stare at the pink haired girl in shock. They are all thinking the same thing: 'THIS GIRLS STRONGER THAN MAKO! WHAT!?'
"We actually got along great." Moka says. "It was nice to have someone who understood what I was going through."
Moka remembers sitting on a park bench with Makoto eating ice cream. She tells Makoto that her father sent her away from home, her mom disappeared and she barely remembers anything about her. All she has is this rosary. Makoto tells Moka that her parents died when she was little and she barely remembers them either. They hug.
"So what happened?" Yukari asks.
Makoto remembers that crazy chainsaw girl (who was apparently Moka's sister) breaking through her apartment window and chasing her. Makoto tried facing her with a lamp but the girl just kicked her in the head, knocked her into a wall and rendered her unconscious. When she woke up the building manager told her that he saw the two girls flee and the police hadn't found them. The next day at school Makoto was upset to hear that Moka won't be joining them again.
Moka remembers being chased by Kokoa down the street until she ran into one of her fathers men, who promptly shoved her into the car and drove her away from Kokoa. Moka was then placed into a different school and a different town, miserable over losing Makoto.
"Well apparently-"
Usagi was about to tell them what Moka said about her own sister trying to kill her. But Moka interrupts her.
"Let's just say I had to change schools. It was one of many I had to go to before enrolling as a Freshman at Yokai." Moka says to her friends before turning to Makoto. "But I did miss you."
Makoto smiles.
"I missed you too. I didn't have a lot of friends growing up either. It was nice to have a friend who appreciated me." Makoto says, touching Moka's shoulder.
Moka smiles warmly at her.
"I'm glad that you've made a bunch of new friends since then." Moka says, looking at Usagi, Minako, Ami and Rei.
"Yeah. You too." Makoto says, looking at Yukari, Kurumu, Mizore and Ruby.
Kurumu shrugs.
"Friends…romantic rivals. It's kind of a blurry line." She says.
"Romantic rivals?" Makoto asks Moka.
"Let's not get into that right now." Moka says.
"We were on our way back to school because those three made a big scene when the four of them went to visit a boy they all like." Ruby says pointing to Kurumu, Mizore and Yukari.
"You like him too, Ruby." Kurumu reminds her.
"Yes, but I didn't show up, break into his house or destroy a playground. Did I?" Ruby asks.
Mizore, Yukari and Kurumu all pout, knowing she has a point. The human girls look nervously at the three of them.
"The tow trucks here." Moka says, pointing to it out of the window.
She turns back to Makoto.
"So, about the mall."
…
No POV
The girls all head over to the Juban mall. For almost an hour they enjoy each other's company, buy new clothes, check out the jewelry store, go to the arcade and play whack-a-mole.
Now, the girls are at the food stand, eating and talking. Moka is sitting across from Makoto. Usagi is across from Yukari. Ruby is across from Rei. Kurumu is across from Minako and Ami is across from Mizore. Each of them is involved in their own conversation.
…
Mizore and Ami POV
"So Mizore, what are some of your hobbies?" Ami asks.
"I like ice skating, making ice sculptures, swimming, stalking Tsukune and reading." Mizore says.
"Oh I love reading too!" Ami exclaims (also liking that Mizore also likes ice and water since they are her elements as Sailor Mercury). "What genre do you-"
Ami suddenly realizes what Mizore said after "ice sculptures" and "reading".
"Romance fantasy mostly." Mizore says. "What's your favorite genre?"
"Uh…no can we go back to the stalking thing?"
…
Yukari and Usagi POV
"Hey so Usagi, do you…know anything about Sailor Moon?" Yukari asks, thinking she can talk to one of her heroes without revealing she knows who she is.
Usagi stares at the girl.
'Does she know!? Does she know!? Does she know!?' Usagi thinks to herself worried. 'Ok Usagi, play it cool. She's just a kid asking innocent questions.'
"Um, Yukari. Just because I live in the same town as the Sailor Guardians doesn't mean I know them." Usagi says. "I mean sure we have the same hair style, but Minako also looks like sailor Venus, AND SHE"S NOT!" Usagi laughs nervously. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, call me crazy-" Yukari says before winking at her. "But me and Ruby are having a debate on how they have their powers. I think that they are yokai in human form. Like Sailor Moon can be a witch using her magic wand to protect humans."
Yukari then shows Usagi her own wand. But Usagi thinks that it's just a toy and Yukari is just a nerdy little girl that's into fantasy role-play games.
"Ruby doesn't believe that. What are YOUR thoughts."
"Well….if I had to guess." Usagi starts. "I would say that they are actually the reincarnations of alien princesses. In human form."
Yukari nods, thinking that must be their intended cover if any humans ask.
"Ok, cool."
Yukari eats her hamburger while thinking that the cover story is ridiculous.
…
Ruby and Rei POV
"So you're a priestess?" Ruby asks Rei. "You still get to date and have fun though, right?"
"Well, I am still allowed to date." Rei says. "But what do you mean by fun?"
Ruby smiles widely.
"Allow me to introduce you to the wonderful world of bondage!"
Rei's face pales.
…
Kurumu and Minako POV
Minako sadly fiddles with her red ribbon in her hand. Kurumu innocently asked her if she had a boyfriend so she could eventually talk about her "relationship" with Tsukune. Instead it led to Minako unloading all her past traumas on her.
"I just don't seem to be very lucky when it comes to love." Minako says sadly. "It's like I'm cursed."
"Aye, your first crush dies in a car accident and your serious boyfriend turned out to be a con artist. That's rough, girl." Kurumu says sympathetically.
Though in reality Minako had to kill her first crush after he became a youma and her serious crush turned out to be working for the Dark Agency and tried to kill her.
"As someone who appreciates love I can't begin to say how sorry I am." Kurumu says.
"Yeah, and the ones that do live and aren't jerks tend to have boyfriends." Minako says sadly.
Kurumu perks up at this.
"Well you don't have to let THAT bother you?"
Minako looks at her confused.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean if you come onto them, bake them cookies and throw in a little sexual appeal they might end up deciding he likes you better than some other girl." Kurumu says, thinking about her "rivalry" with Moka.
"I'm not going to steal another person's boyfriend." Minako says.
"Who says it's stealing?" Kurumu asks. "Is it really stealing if it's their choice to leave?"
"Yes!"
…
Moka and Makoto POV
"That's a very interesting name." Makoto tells Moka, referring to the name of her school. "I've never heard of Yokai Academy."
"I did say that it's a private school." Moka reminds her.
"That shouldn't mean know one has heard of it." Makoto retorts. "So, what's this about these girls being your friends/love rivals?"
"Well we're all friends because we're part of the Newspaper Club and we help each other out." Moka says.
Makoto raises an eyebrow.
"But there's a guy involved?" Makoto questions.
Moka sighs.
"His name is Tsukune. As soon as we met I felt an instant connection. But then Kurumu decided she likes him too and she keeps coming onto him. So does Mizore and Ruby. He's just so nice. And kind. And brave. And handsome. And his blood tastes yummy."
Moka realizes what she just said.
"Uh, what?" Makoto asks.
"His punch!" Moka covers. "His blood red punch that he makes. It's delicious."
Makoto believes the cover.
"Is Tsukune aware that the other girls like him?" She asks.
"They all have literally told him." Moka says. "But he's a bit indecisive. Plus I don't think he wants to hurt any of our feelings."
"What about you?" Makoto questions. "Have you told him how you feel?"
Moka remembers all the times she latched onto Tsukune and all the nice times they had together. But she also remembers all the times she bit his neck to drink his blood when it looked like she was going to kiss him instead. But she also remembers all the times her "Inner" self acted cold and dismissive towards him. Either because she didn't think much of him at the time, she was mad at him or out of fear of becoming weak.
"It's complicated." Moka says.
"I can understand being hung up on a guy." Makoto admits. "I still have a slight crush on a guy who broke my heart a long time ago. I don't even know why, maybe it's just from a sense of longing for what could have been but to this day I can't look at another attractive man without comparing them to him. I'm trying to get over him, and for a while I've known a sweet boy who I don't think would ever hurt me. I really like him, we haven't made anything official but I've decided I'm going to talk to him about it. And if you really do like this Tsukune you need to try and get him before anyone else does."
"I would love to do that but…" Moka thinks on how to word her situation. "…it's like one part of me thinks that he's sweet and adorable and wants to be with him. A part of me wonders if I prefer his "punch". But the other half of me thinks he's weak and pathetic."
"That's quite the conflicted mind you've got there." Makoto says. "Well Moka, it seems to me that you have to sort out your feelings before you can even consider entering a relationship with him. But to be fair, he also has to be decisive and stop stringing you all along."
"I just told him that last part." Moka says.
The sounds of many people screaming catches the girls' attention. Kurumu and Minako stop arguing over the moral implications of trying to seduce another person's crush/boyfriend. Ruby stops driving Rei crazy by talking about different bondage activities and Ami stops arguing with Mizore about the ethical implications of stalking someone. They look around and see many people running away. A man stops in front of them to give them a warning.
"Run!" He says frantically before running away.
"Woah, what's going on?" Usagi asks.
A small figure jumps onto their table.
"I am what's going on!"
The two groups look over and they see a young girl with light blue hair and fair skin wearing a blue one-piece bikini that has an orange skirt-trim. Her headpiece, bracelets and her blue sandals all have ball ornaments on them and she is folding a blue orb in her hand.
"It is I, PallaPalla!"
"Ugh! Not YOU!" Usagi groans seeing the member of the Amazon Quartet that switched her and Chibiusa's ages.
"Uh Mako, who is this?" Moka asks.
"A member of a group that we have…issues with." Makoto says, gripping her transformation pen in her hand under the table.
All the other sailor guardians sit up while doing the same. They face the operative of the Dead Moon circus ready for a fight. But Moka and her group are confused by the changes in their demeanor.
"You guys should run!" Usagi tells Moka and the others.
"Why? She doesn't look that tough." Kurumu asks.
"No listen, you guys have to leave right now!" Ami states.
"Oh no. No one is going anywhere." PallaPalla says before she raises her orb. "Order of the Orbs!"
They gasp as a magical barrier appears around them. Trapping them all in a space consisting of the food court and the surrounding rows of tables. Moka and most of her friends are shocked, Ruby is dumbfounded but Yukari is squealing excitedly.
"Oh no, a supervillain. If only the Sailor Guardians were here to save us." Yukari says, grinning widely.
Makoto looks at Usagi.
Usagi turns to Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, Ruby and Yukari then she nods at Makoto.
"Alright." Makoto says, pulling out her pen. "Moka, I'm going to have to ask you to keep a secret."
"What?" Moka asks.
The yokai girls, bar Ruby and Yukari, are confused.
"Here it comes!" Yukari says excitedly.
Usagi, Minako, Makoto, Ami and Rei pull out their pens.
The pens glow and they shout:
"Moon Crystal Power, Make-Up!"
"Venus Crystal Power, Make-Up!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power, Make-Up!"
"Mercury Crystal Power, Make-Up!"
"Mars Crystal Power, Make-Up!"
The girls spin around and Moka's group watches in shock and amazement as they are engulfed in a bright light. Usagi and her group make dramatic poses as their clothing shifts. When the light fades, they are in their Sailor Guardian uniforms. Usagi is Sailor Moon, Minako is Sailor Venus, Ami is Sailor Mercury, Rei is Sailor Mars and Makoto is Sailor Jupiter.
"WHAT!?" Moka and Kurumu shout at once.
Mizore's jaw drops and her lollipop falls out and lands in her hand.
"Wow, I did not see that coming." Mizore says, before she casually places her lollipop back in her mouth.
The four of them turn to Ruby and Yukari (who is jumping up and down gushing).
"Yeah, we recognized them." Ruby clarifies.
"Moka, please understand why I didn't tell you." Sailor Jupiter asks.
Moka just groans.
"What is wrong with me!? All you did was change your clothes! How did I not recognize you!?"
Kurumu groans as well and slaps her forehead.
"We saw a poster of you guys for god's sake! How did we not realize you were-UGH!"
"Our transformations come with a spell that makes us unrecognizable in our Sailor Forms." Sailor Mars explains.
She glances at Yukari and Ruby.
"But you two knew already. Didn't you?"
"Yeah." Ruby says bluntly.
"How?" Sailor Mercury asks.
"I sensed something was off about all of them when we first met." Sailor Mars says, gesturing to Moka and her friends.
"Oh thats because were-"
Yukari is about to say that they are yokai too. But she is interrupted by Sailor Venus.
"We'll talk about that later. Let's just kick Palla's butt!"
"Right!" All the Sailor Guardians shout.
PallaPalla just giggles.
"Oh, but there's a reason my boss sent me after you now. Because you're each paired with a normal person."
PallaPalla holds up her orb again.
"Opposite Orb!"
"No!" Sailor Moon shouts/cries. "Wait, we're all the same age. What will that spell-"
The orb releases a flash of light. Sailor Jupiter immediately throws Moka under a table for protection but everyone else is caught by the orb's power.
"Agh! Bright!" Sailor Jupiter complains.
She looks down at herself and sees no changes. She doesn't seem to be younger or anything. Moka walks back to her and doesn't feel any different either.
"Your spell had no effect!" Sailor Jupiter shouts at PallaPalla.
"That's because the one you were supposed to switch with hid." PallaPalla explains.
"Uh, Mako!"
"Moka!"
The two girls town around and they see both their groups of friends looking dumbfounded and freaked out. They have all switched clothes. Kurumu is wearing Minako's uniform while Minako is wearing Kurumu's clothes. Mizore is wearing Ami's uniform while Ami is wearing Mizore's clothes (and also has her lollipop in her mouth). Ami removes the lollipop and suddenly feels heat-weak. Ruby is wearing Rei's uniform while Rei is wearing Ruby's clothes. The only one who is happy is Yukari, who is in a shrunken version of Sailor Moon's uniform while Usagi is wearing larger versions of Yukari's clothes and hat.
"Look at me! I'm Sailor Moon now!" Yukari cheers.
"That's it?" Rei asks. "You just switched our clothes?"
"I switched your powers." PallaPalla says. "But since these girls didn't have any-" she points to the Sailor Guardians. "-you're all powerless!"
"WHAT!?" All the girls gasp.
"Sailor Venus Kick!" Minako shouts while kicking.
Normally she would feel a surge of energy into her foot as she delivered an attack. But nothing happened.
Kurumu and Mizore get into fighting positions.
"Alright but you have given us their powers!" Kurumu shouts holding out Sailor Venus's pen.
"Yeah, we've been in fights before!" Mizore shouts.
"And I know how to use Ofuda's!" Rei shouts, pulling out one of Sailor Mars's ofuda's.
"You're going down!" Kurumu shouts.
However, the three of them grunt as they try kicking, punching and throwing paper talismans in PallaPalla's direction but nothing happens. Mizore tries shooting ice from her palms and Kurumu tries waving her chain around but nothing happens.
"Hey what gives? I thought Sailor Mercury could shoot ice!" Mizore yells/asks Ami.
"You have to call out your attacks or else it won't work." Ami explains.
"Yeah, Kurumu you have to say: Venus Love Me Chain!" Shouts Minako.
"And Ruby, you can shout: Burning Mandala!" Says Rei.
"That is very long and stupid but whatever works!" Kurumu shouts.
She readies the Sailor Venus Chain and prepares to fall out an attack.
"Venus Love Chain!"
Kurumu tries swinging the chain but nothing happens. PallaPalla just laughs.
"It's Love Me Chain." Minako says.
"Oh come on!" Kurumu shouts.
"Rolling Orb!" PallaPalla shouts.
She throws her orb on the ground and it enlarges as it rolls towards the switched girls. Mizore, Kurumu Ruby, Minako, Ami and Rei scream as they see the massive boulder coming towards them.
Yukari runs in front of them.
"Sailor Moon Kick!"
Yukari kicks the giant ball with her Moon Energy charged kick. The ball is knocked backwards and PallaPalla screams before jumping out of the way. She lays on the ground while the giant ball hits the forcefield and shatters it before the ball returns to its normal size. The ball rolls back to PallaPalla and she picks it back up. Everyone looks at Yukari shocked.
"I told you, I'm a fan." Yukari tells a surprised Usagi.
Then she removes the tiara she is wearing. Sailor Moon's tiara.
"Moon Tiara Action!" Yukari shouts while throwing the tiara at PallaPalla.
The tiara glows with energy as it flies towards the villain. PallaPalla screams and dodges the attack. The tiara flies back to Yukari as the other girls cheer.
"And I'm still myself!" Sailor Jupiter shouts.
She turns to Moka.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." She says to her friend.
Moka smiles at her, but wishes that she could remove her rosary so she could protect her instead.
"I still have my Lemures!" PallaPalla shouts and dozens of small, black fuzzy ball-shaped creatures appear from the shadows.
"What are these things?" Ruby asks. "I've never seen them before."
"They are creatures made out of people's nightmares!" Rei tells her. "Don't let them touch you or else they will either drain your energy or trap you in a dream state!"
"Ha! Two Sailor Guardians can't fight me AND protect their friends at the same time!"
The Lemures attack the group of girls. Sailor Jupiter protects Moka with electricity and her Flower Hurricane.
"Mako! You have to help me get this Rosary off!" Moka shouts as the tries pulling on it
"Moka! This is no time for a fashion statement!" Sailor Jupiter says keeping a horse of Lemures away with a powerful kick swipe.
Yukari works tirelessly to protect her inexperienced friends and the others with moon blasts and kicks.
"Venus LOVE ME Chain!" Kurumu shouts and this time the chain glows and the Lemures disappear when she hits them with it. "Hey! It worked this time!"
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Mizore shouts and the nearby Lemures are blown away with Steam from her hands.
"That's it! You're doing great!" Ami shouts.
Ruby also keeps several Lemures at bay with her ofuda's. She even lights some of them on fire with her Sailor Mars powers and destroys a few. But she and her other friends aren't experienced enough to do major damage to the hordes of Lemures that keep coming. Even Yukari is getting tired. She gets hit by some of the Lemures while PallaPalla shoots her with a beam from her orb. Usagi catches her.
"Ok, you guys gotta help!" Ruby shouts at the true sailor guardians.
"How? You have our powers!" Minako asks.
"We…we're not exactly powerless ourselves." Ruby admits.
She gives Rei (who had sensed something off about them the entire time) a look. When Moka's friends all got the Sailor Guardians abilities they realized they lost their own. Ruby in particular tried to pull out her wings but nothing happened and Kurumu couldn't enlarge her nails anymore.
"Do you feel something on your back?" She asks Rei, who nods. "Push. Let it out."
Rei, who had indeed felt like something was under the skin of her back, does just that. To her surprise, and the rest of her friends' shock, six feathered wings pop out of her back. PallaPalla's eyes widen.
"WHAT!?" Usagi and her friends all shout.
"I have WINGS!" Rei shouts in amazement.
Ami (who had been feeling weak and overheated) tenses her body as well and her forearms are covered in ice claws.
"Woah." She says, amazed.
Mizore walks over to her and pulls out a spare lollipop from her backpack.
"Here, you need this." Mizore says, putting the lollipop into Ami's mouth.
"Hey! I don't feel overheated anymore!"
Minako tenses and she suddenly grows bat-like wings, a tail and her fingernails grow very long and sharp.
"What is going on?" Minako asks.
"Ok confession time." Kurumu says. "I'm a succubus."
"A witch!" Ruby and Yukari say, together.
"A Yuki-Onna." Says Mizore.
Sailor Jupiter turns to Moka wide eyed.
"Don't tell me you're actually a…"
Moka just smiles, showing Jupiter her fangs.
"Yeah, but this rosary drains my power." Moka says, pointing to her rosary. "For some reason Tsukune is the only one who can take it off."
Makoto feels like her whole world just got turned upside-down. And suddenly everything makes sense now.
'Oh my god. My childhood friend is a vampire.' She thinks dumbfounded.
The newly empowered girls fight alongside the new guardians. Minako keeps the Lemures at bat with her claws, Ami freezes them in place and Usagi plus Ruby pull out their new wands to send blasts of magic at the Lemures.
"No! You were supposed to be one powerless and/or unable to properly use your new powers!" PallaPalla wines.
She turns to Sailor Jupiter and Moka. One is ready to fight, the other is still trying to remove her rosary.
"Hey, you said that you're powerless, right?" PallaPalla asks Moka. "Opposite Orb!"
Moka gets an idea. She pushes Sailor Jupiter out of the way of the orbs blast. Laying on the ground, safe from the orb's power, Makoto calls out Moka's name. Everyone is worried, wondering what the effect of the opposite orb will be on Moka alone.
Moka becomes visible again once the light fades. PallaPalla is surprised (and intimidated) while Moka's friends cheer for her to take "this clown girl" down. Makoto and the other guardians stare at her in shock.
Moka now has silver hair and intense red eyes. She no longer gives off the aura of a sweet innocent girl. Now she looks serious and ready to murder. Rei in particular is very intimidated by the site. She could tell that Moka had a strong supernatural aura before but now she can fully sense it. She's darker than night! Rei is happy that she is on her friend's side, not sure if she would be easy to beat if she worked for the enemy.
Inner-Moka chuckles.
"Ah, the opposite spell worked the same way the mirror did. Very smart." She says, in a voice totally different from before.
"Moka?" Makoto questions.
Inner-Moka turns to her.
"I told you before, this rosary seals my power. It also suppresses my more volatile personality traits. Call me Inner-Moka."
PallaPalla is completely freaking out now.
"Then I'll…I'll reverse you back!" PallaPalla shouts, holding the orb.
Sailor Jupiter sends a shock of lightning that knocks the orb out of her hands.
"LEMURES!" PallaPalla cries fearfully.
The nightmare creatures rush towards Inner-Moka, but with the sweep of her leg they all are pushed back with incredible force. The guardians are impressed and PallaPalla is terrified.
Inner-Moka faces PallaPalla and yawns.
"It's time for you to know your place."
"WAIT! WAIT!" PallaPalla shouts.
Inner-Moka leaps towards her and delivers a kick to PallaPalla across her chest. PallaPalla screams as she is sent flying until she hits the roof of the mall. Stuck in the plaster, PallaPalla groans in pain before disappearing. The Lemures disappear right after and the guardians as well as Moka's friends revert back to normal. Moka also returns to her outer pink-haired state. She turns to Makoto, who is still staring at her.
"We have a lot to talk about." Moka admits.
"Yeah. And I guess I do too." Makoto admits.
…
Elsewhere, Queen Nehellenia watches the events unfold from her mirror. She is angered and disappointed by the defeat, but she takes notice of Moka's power and the abilities of the other girls.
"What peculiar specimens you girls are. I wonder if you have any friends that would be willing to work for me."
Nehellenia starts using her mirror to find anyone with great power that hates these girls.
…
Moka, Makoto and their friends walk down the street. The half moon shines overhead and the girls have been explaining everything to the other. Moka explained that she and her friends are, indeed, all Yokai/monsters. They explained that monsters live separately from humans and they all go to a school called Yokai Academy where the students are required to wear human disguises so they can live in the human world unnoticed.
"Wait, so you're saying that ANYONE we know could actually be a Yokai?" Usagi says, a little freaked out.
As are Ami, Minako and Makoto. The last thing they would expect is for some random person walking down the street to actually be a monster in disguise. Ami's mind suddenly thought back to a ski resort her family visited when she was young where the owner always had a lollipop in her mouth just like Mizore. Rei thinks about all the times someone passed by her shrine that gave off a supernatural aura. Minako, however, has other thoughts.
"So do you know any hot single werewolf guys?" She asks.
"We know one, but he's a pervert." Kurumu says.
"Aw." Minako says disappointed.
"But the fact that anyone could actually be a monster in disguise." Makoto says. "Thats….wow."
Moka looks at her worried.
"Hey, this doesn't change anything, does it Mako?"
"No, no it doesn't Moka." Makoto says. "This is all just…kind of a shocker. I mean I'm finding out that Yokai walk among us. That my old childhood friend was a vampire….that apparently has multiple personality disorder."
Moka shrugs.
"So what about you?" Moka asks. "When or how did you become Sailor Guardians?"
"Well Usagi told ME that they were the reincarnations of alien princesses." Yukari says. "And I assumed that was just a cover story."
"You told her that?" Rei asks Usagi.
"She said she thought we were witches like her and said that my "head-canon" is that they were aliens." Usagi clarifies. "And Yukari, that is the truth."
Yukari slumps.
"Aw. So you're not witches? I mean I don't care, you guys are still awesome but that's kind of a bummer." Says the young witch.
The rest of the Yokai girls look at Usagi and her friends in shock.
"Wait. Your ALIENS!?" Moka shouts.
"We're human." Ami clarifies. "But our past lives were aliens."
"Aliens?" Kurumu questions. "Like, ufo. probes."
Usagi laughs.
"Not like that. You see, thousands of years ago. Thousands and thousands. All the planets of the solar system had people living on them. My past life was Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom."
"And her guard was composed of our past lives." Ami says. "I was the princess of Mercury."
"Venus." Says Minako.
"Mars." Says Rei.
"Jupiter." Says Makoto.
"What about Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto?" Mizore asks.
"They were/are the outer guardians. Their job was to protect the Solar System from outside threats." Explains Rei.
"Wait, hold on. There's no evidence of there ever being life on Mars. Or the moon for that matter." Ruby says.
"That's because all those civilizations, except for earth, got wiped out a long time ago." Usagi says sadly. "Even back then earth was more advanced."
"So what happened?" Moka asks.
"The Dark Kingdom." Usagi explains. "They started a war between earth and the moon. Threw the whole Solar System into ruin. Finally Sailor Saturn had to end it with a devastating attack that ended the war, and everything else." Usagi says sadly. "However, her power also allowed all of us to be reincarnated as the people we are now."
"But just as we were reincarnated so was the Dark Kingdom." Makoto says. "Don't worry though, we took care of them for good."
Yukari gasps.
"So are they the cause of all those times you guys have been caught fighting monsters?"
"Well…no." Usagi admits.
"Even after we defeated the Dark Kingdom, more enemies just keep showing up." Makoto says irritated. "After them we had to deal with he Black Moon Clan."
"Then the Death Busters." Says Ami.
"That circus freak you just saw was from the Dead Moon Circus." Says Rei.
"Black Moon? Death? Dead Moon Circus? I'm seeing a pattern here." Mizore says. "Are you sure they aren't all related somehow?"
The girls are about to answer that, but they are interrupted.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? A group of disobedient students revealing their identities to humans?"
Moka and her friends' eyes widen.
"That voice?" Moka gasps.
They all turn around and they see the person who was talking. The guardian's eyes widen because the guy is floating, while the Yokai just let out annoyed groans.
"Oh no, not you." Yukari cries.
"You know him?" Usagi asks her.
The person in question, floating a foot off the ground while approaching them, appears to be a tall young man with shoulder-length blonde hair, fair skin, sharp eyes and with black dot-marks over his eyes. He is wearing a black long-coat and he is grinning wickedly at them. Rei can sense a strong and evil aura coming from him. She immediately pulls out an ofuda.
"What a crime you've committed." The wicked figure says as he holds out his hand and a ball of fire appears in it.
Ami grabs her pen, ready to blast him with ice if necessary.
"Everyone, this is Kuyo." Kurumu says with a sneer. "He was the head of the safety commission at our school."
"Yeah. I was. Until you and that weak human Tsukune got me fired!" Kuyo says angrily.
The flame in his hand grows larger.
"You were fired for abusing your power!" Moka shouts. "And trying to kill us!"
"He did WHAT!?" Makoto asks, horrified and angry.
"It was their own fault." Kuyo says. "The number one rule at Yokai Academy is that there are no humans allowed and any human found is to be executed."
"That's kinda racist." Usagi tells Yukari.
"It's a work in progress." Yukari admits.
"Excuse me! Still talking!" Kuyo says infuriated. "You girls were harboring one. So yes, I was going to kill you along with him."
"You knew that Kurumu, Mizore and Yukari didn't know Tsukune's secret then!" Moka reminds him. "Tsukune offered to let you kill him if you just spared the rest of us but you refused! THAT'S why you got expelled!"
"Yeah, well. I'm here to kill you now." Kuyo says.
Kuyo's eyes glow and a powerful aura moves around him.
"Moka, what kind of monster is this guy!?" Usagi asks.
"He's a yoko!" Moka tells her.
"A what!?" Makoto asks.
"Ami, you better change into your Sailor form." Rei says as she pulls out her own pen and an ofuda.
Kuyo bursts into flames and the guardians are startled as his flaming body morphs into a giant flaming fox-like monster with four tails. The heat he emits is so intense that the nearby park bench bursts into flames and the supernatural aura that he gives off is terrifying to Rei. It's not as strong as Moka's inner self, but it's still scary. Everyone nearby runs away screaming in terror as a literal Fire-Fox standing ten feet tall appears.
"BEHOLD MY TRUE FORM, WORMS!"
"Hey!" Ruby shots. "You're breaking Yokai Academy's second rule! No revealing your true form to humans!"
"And the Head of the Public Safety Commission I am justice!" Kuyo states.
"You're not Head of anything anymore, remember?" Kurumu asks.
"Whatever. Have you seen what kinds of creatures appear in this city? No one will think I'm any less bizarre."
"That is true." Minako admits.
"NOW BEHOLD MY BATTLE FORM!"
Kuyo morphs again, this time he regains a more humanoid form. Except he now has white skin, his body is covered with markings (visible by the fact that he is no longer wearing a shirt, revealing his strong muscular body) and he has horns. Furthermore, his legs are still in the form from when he was a fire-fox, he still has four tails behind him and his whole body is still emitting a strong aura of energy.
"The four of you girls weren't strong enough to beat me last time we fought." Kuyo says wickedly. "That weak human was only able to save you because you, Moka, injected him with your blood." Kuyo raises his hand over his head and a gigantic fireball appears in his palm. "Well he's not here now and you need him to remove that Rosary."
"Except now they have us!" Usagi says.
"Right!" All the Sailor Guardians say.
The guardians pull out their transformation pens. They spin and they quickly take their Sailor Guardian forms. Yukinari watches with hearts in her eyes and Kuyo glares at Sailor Moon.
"Betcha didn't see that coming." Sailor Moon says.
"I refuse to be beaten by human girls in skirts! Die!"
Kuyo raises his palm and a gigantic ball of fire appears. He throws it at the group, but Sailor Mercury and Mizore rush ahead.
"Mizore, you may have been unable to freeze him before." Sailor Mercury says. "But now you have backup!"
Mizore creates her ice claws.
"Two ice makers on one flame thrower? I like the sound of that!"
As Mizore prepares to blast all her ice-power at the yoko.
Sailor Mercury shouts: Shine Snow Illusion!
A hurricane of ice and snow flies from Sailor Mercury's hands. It merges with Mizore's own ice powers and the two attacks hit Kuyo's fireball. The two blasts cancel each other out. Ami and Mizore high-five while Kuyo glares furiously at the two.
"You will pay for attacking our friends!" Sailor Jupiter shouts Kuyo.
"Alright girls! Let's finish this creep!" Sailor Moon shouts preparing for an attack.
"I want a piece of him!" Shouts Kurumu, baring her wings and claws.
"I wanna join in too!" Yukari shouts as she pulls out her wand along with Ruby.
Sailor Moon pulls out her Moon Rod.
"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!"
Sailor Moon shoots a blast of energy at Kuyo. However, he pulls out a familiar looking orb.
"Summon Orb." He says.
Suddenly, a Lemur in the shape of a humanoid wolf appears out of the darkness and takes the hit for Kuyo. It disappears while the yoko is unharmed. Kuyo smiles wickedly at the girls.
"Betcha didn't see that coming." He says, mockingly repeating what Sailor Moon said to him earlier.
"Was that a werewolf!?" Kurumu shouts.
"No, it had to be a lemur!" Sailor Venus says, also shocked.
"Actually you're both right?" Kuyo says, fiddling with the orb in his hand. "You see I didn't track you girls here. I was approached by this lady who's the boss of the people your short-skirted friends are fighting."
"You're working for the Dead Moon Circus!?" Sailor Moon asks/shouts.
"I work for no one." Kuyo says. "She just offered to give me this orb so I can control my own army of Lemures and in exchange I have to hand her over some Crystal you have. Now, I became interested when she told me that these creatures are made of nightmares. So I visited an old werewolf associate of mine. He and his pack mates were sleeping at the time, so I took the liberty of whispering things like hunters and silver bullets in their ears. It disrupted their dreams a bit." He says with a wicked grin.
The girls all glare at him. He purposely gave them nightmares so he could use them to create Lemures for himself. Though the yokai girls are concerned. Regular Lemures were bad enough, these ones came from werewolves and the moon is out.
"Werewolves are one of the few Yōkai that can rival vampires." Kuyo continues. "Under the light of the full moon they are pretty much unstoppable. Summon Orb!"
The orb summons a dozen Lemurs through the darkness. They morph into werewolf form. They grow to seven feet tall, they have long snouts and sharp teeth with glowing white eyes. Their bodies are shaped like anthropomorphic wolves with sharp claws and tails.
"It may be a half moon now, but even if you manage to get through them you'll still have to face me."
Kuyo raises his other hand and creates a fire spear.
"This is a problem." Moka tells Sailor Jupiter.
"Moka, are you sure you can't remove your rosary yourself?" Sailor Jupiter asks.
"Well I can if I pull hard enough but it's very painful." Moka admits.
Sailor Jupiter remembers when Inner-Moka came out after being hit by the Opposite Orb Spell.
"So we need to get that orb."
Kuyo points at the Sailor Guardians and the Yokai girls.
"Kill them." He orders.
The werewolf-Lemures roar and charge at the groups with incredible speed. The girls engage their powers and quickly dodge out of the way of the werewolf-Lemures attacks.
Sailor Jupiter protects Moka as she tries to get her rosary off. A werewolf-Lemur charges at them but Sailor Jupiter kicks it away. And other attacks right after but she uses a lightning attack on it, then her hurricane cyclone to keep back another. However, she struggles to do so as each monster comes at her with incredible speed.
"Dang, these things are fast!" She grunts to push one away then narrowly dodges a punch from another, which cracks the concrete beneath her. "And strong!"
While she's distracted, a werewolf-Lemur slashes its claws across Sailor Jupiter's back. She screams, not just from the claws tearing through the flesh of her back, but from some of her energy being stolen as well.
"MAKO!" Moka screams.
Moka catches her friend as she collapses. Moka cries over her inability to help, then she looks up and sees three werewolf-Lemures roaring and pouncing at them. Moka gains some resolve and she grabs a large chunk of the concrete that was broken on the ground. Moka swings it as soon as the farthest left werewolf-lemur is close enough. She hits the monster in the face, shattering the concrete, and knocks the monster into the two others.
One of them gets back up and tries to pounce again, but it is grabbed from behind by the Venus Love Me Chain and Sailor Venus keeps it restrained enough for Kurumu to slice through it with her claws, causing it to vanish. However they are nearly hit by the werewolf-Lemures themselves.
The others work together to try and fend off the werewolf-Lemures with Sailor Attacks, blasts from magic wands or ice. But the creatures are so fast that getting a hit on them proves to be difficult. Sailor Venus tries throwing her tiara at one and Sailor Mars tries using her fire soul bird or burning mandala, but the werewolf-Lemures quickly dodge each and every attack. Mizore and Ami manage to freeze a few but the werewolf-Lemures, but they break out of the ice with their immense strength.
Sailor Moon kicks a Werewolf-Lemure away then addresses Ruby and Yukari.
"Keep me covered, I need to transform! I have an attack specific for Lemures!" Sailor Moon shouts, while kicking.
"On it!" Yukari and Ruby agree.
When the werewolf-Lemures charge again Ami emits a must of fog while Mizore freezes the ground underneath the werewolf-Lemures. Some of them slip but others grab onto the ice with their claws. As Ruby and Yukari keep the werewolf-Lemures away with magical barriers, Sailor Moon raises her hand in the air and shouts:
"Moon Crisis, Power Make-Up!"
She starts to transform, her costume changes slightly while a kaleidoscope appears in her hand before transforming itself into a kaleidoscope-sword fusion.
"Did you forget that I'M here?" Kuyo asks, raising his orb. "Hailstorm Orb!"
The orb in his hands glows and the werewolf-Lemures melt back into the darkness. Several massive boulders fall from the sky towards the group. Super Sailor Moon and the others try desperately to avoid getting hit by one or to shatter them in mid-air with their powers.
"I've decided I hate balls!" Shouts Kurumu.
"And now a personal attack, the Fire-Fox." He says as he spins his four tails in the groups direction.
He releases a torrent of fire towards the group. Mizore and Sailor Mercury try to defend the others with their ice powers but the flames are too strong. Their ice barrier is broken through and they are blown away along with everyone else as the boulders continue crashing down on them.
Super Sailor Moon coughs, then when the dust clears she looks around in horror, seeing everyone else laying among the rubble, bruised and injured. The ice defense barely saved them from being incinerated by the blast. Super Sailor Moon growls at Kuyo and his returning werewolf-Lemures. She points her Moon Kaleido Scope at Kuyo and his army.
"Moon Gorgeous Mediat-"
Kuyo throws a fire-spear that knocks the weapon out of Super Sailor Moon's grip before she can finish.
"You talk too much." Kuyo sneers as his army charges at Super Sailor Moon again.
She looks around, worried for her fallen friends, then terrified at the laughing Yokai raising his burning hand and the werewolf-Lemures that are charging at her. She's terrified and upset, the perfect combination for her last-defense.
Super Sailor Moon emits a cry that is amplified by the red hair-pieces on her buns. She releases a sonic scream that causes Kuyo to cover his ears in pain, dropping the orb. The werewolf-Lemures are in agony due to their dog-like hearing.
"Damn crybaby!" Kuyo shouts as he musters the willpower to remove one hand from his ear, despite the pain, and create another flaming spear.
Before he can throw it, a sharp rose is thrown which knocks the orb out of his hand, while cutting his finger in the process. As he grunts in pain, Sailor Moon stops crying.
They look over and they see a young man with dark hair, a domino mask, a cane and wearing a tuxedo far behind Kuyo. With him is a little girl that looks just like Super Sailor Moon but with pink hair.
"I was wondering when my girlfriend wasn't on time for our date. I can see she was occupied." Says the man.
"And no one calls Sailor Moon a crybaby except me." Says the little girl.
"Tuxedo-Mask! Chibi-Moon!" Super Sailor Moon cries in joy.
Yukari immediately jolts up hearing this.
"Tuxedo-Mask! OHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH!" She fan-girls.
"Tuxedo-Mask! Get us that orb!" Sailor Jupiter shouts.
They look over and see Moka and Sailor Jupiter, mostly unharmed, with the latter leaning onto the other for support.
"You got it, Sailor Jupiter!" Tuxedo-Mask says, drawing another rose.
"Oh I'm definitely not losing to YOU!" Kuyo snears.
He throws a massive fireball at Tuxedo-Mask, but he grabs Super Chibi Moon and jumps. He tumbled through the air, avoiding the heat and swirling his cane as he does. Super Chibi Moon breaks off from him to land next to Sailor Moon. She asks her: "What the heck is going on?" While Yukari jumps up and down like an excited little girl. Tuxedo-Mask lands on the ground behind Kuyo and delivers a strong hit with his cane that actually causes the yoko pain.
"I've never seen a youma like you before, but I suppose there's a first time for everything." Tuxedo-Mask says.
"I'm not a youma." Kuyo sneers, rubbing the spot on his head where he was struck. "Lemures attack!"
The Werewolf-Lemures do nothing. Kuyo realizes it's because he is no longer holding the orb. It dropped to the ground while he was covering his ears. Tuxedo-Mask kicks the orb towards Sailor Jupiter and Moka. Kuyo screams: "No!" As Sailor Jupiter picks it up.
"Opposite Orb!" Sailor Jupiter shouts.
Kuyo and Tuxedo-Mask watch as the two girls are engulfed by the orb's light. However, Super Sailor Moon and Super Chibi Moon are busy with other things. They raise their Moon Kaleido Scope's in the air.
"Moon Gorgeous Mediation!" They shout together.
They emit a massive beam of red light that hits all of the Werewolf-Lemures, who are promptly destroyed.
"No!" Kuyo shouts.
But Super Sailor Moon and Super Chibi Moon are not done yet. They raise their Moon Rods.
"Moon Healing Escalation!" They shout together.
The energy from their rods hits all of their fallen allies. Their cuts and bruises vanish as they stand up, unharmed and energized. The guardians and the Yokai girls face Kuyo ready to attack. Sailor Mars in particular draws an Ofuda.
The light dims and everyone looks towards Sailor Jupiter and Moka. When the light fades and they can see the girls once more, everyone is confused.
"Huh?" Super Chibi Moon questions.
"Oh I am so getting this!" Yukari says taking a picture on her phone, her nose bleeding a bit.
Inner-Moka, oblivious to any changes, glares at Kuyo.
"You again? Well Tsukune beat you last time and I don't have to give my blood to anyone. Now I can…wait, why do I feel different from before?" Inner-Moka asks. "I don't feel any Yōkai energy in my body, I feel…static."
"Uh, Moka?" Sailor Jupiter says to get her attention.
When Inner-Moka looks at Sailor Jupiter she gasps. Sailor Jupiter is gasping as well while pointing at Moka's clothes, her clothes. And it wasn't just that Sailor Jupiter is not wearing Moka's uniform while Inner-Moka is wearing a green/white Sailor Guardian suit. Moka runs her tongue along her teeth and realizes her fangs are gone, just as she sees that Sailor Jupiter has a pair. Along with her rosary around her neck. Furthermore, Moka realizes that her hair is pink while Sailor Jupiter's hair is white.
"You didn't just bring me out! You switched us!" Inner Moka shouts.
Sailor Jupiter rubs the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Sorry."
"Moka-Sama is now a Sailor Guardian." Yukari blushes, turning red. "Someone pinch me!"
Super Sailor Chibi Moon pinches her.
"Ow!"
"Hey, you asked."
Inner-Moka shrugs.
"Whatever, I can work with this."
"Ok fine! I can take all of you!" Kuyo shouts.
His entire body erupts into flames as his tails twirl viciously.
"I've been training since my last defeat!" Kuyo says. "I'll have my fifth tail soon enough! Then not even a vampire can-"
Before Kuyo can finish speaking, the Flaming Soul Bird attack by Sailor Mars hits him in the back. The Flaming Soul Bird is a fire based attack, and at its center is an Ofuda (a paper talisman used by priests to ward off evil spirits). Kuyo gasps, now unable to move or use his powers thanks to the Ofuda. His eyes glance towards Sailor Mars, who smirks at him.
"You know what they say. Fight fire with fire."
Kuyo watches as Sailor-Moka and Vampire-Jupiter hold hands, charge at him, and raise their legs for a kick.
"Sailor Jupiter Kick!" Shouts Sailor-Moka.
"Know your place!" Shouts Vampire-Jupiter.
"Wait! Wait!" Kuyo shouts, terrified.
The yokai and lightning charged kicks hit him square in the chest. Kuyo gets all of his wind knocked out of him and feels a few of his ribs crack, as well as the sensation of being electrified as he flies through the air. He screams from pain and fear as he falls to the ground, so hard that he creates a crater.
Moka and Sailor Jupiter turn back to normal, pink hair and all. They and the others approach the unconscious Kuyo, who has now reverted to his human form.
"So, what do we do with him?" Super Sailor Chibi Moon asks.
"He's too dangerous for a human prison." Says Sailor Mars. "Yokai have prisons, right?" She asks Ruby.
"Oh trust me, he'll get worse than an expulsion this time." Ruby declares.
However, Kuyo ends up vanishing in black smoke along with the orb. Leaving the others stunned.
"Where did he go?" Sailor Venus asks.
"Back to wherever the Dead Moon pulled him from, I suppose." Kurumu guesses.
"Aw man." Yukari laments. "I wanted to get a copy of his mug-shot."
…
An hour later.
Moka and the others are back at the bus, fully repaired, at the gas station. Yukari gets her last signature on her poster from Chibiusa "Chibi Moon" and Yukari looks pleased at her signed poster from all the Sailor Guardians (or at least the inner ones). Moka hugs Makoto as their friends all say goodbye to each other.
"It was nice to see you again." Moka says. "And sorry again about Kuyo."
"Hey, it felt awesome being a vampire for a bit." Makoto says.
"If you ever need a power boost, call me. I can give you a blood injection and make you a temporary vampire."
"Oh, that's temp-ting."
"Come on Moka! We need to go!" Shouts Ruby.
"Coming!" Moka yells.
She turns back to Makoto.
"So you have my number?" Moka asks.
"And you have mine." Makoto confirms. "Let's try and keep in touch this time. Maybe bring that guy that can remove your rosary along and we can spar."
"I think Inner-Me would like that." Moka says.
Moka enters the bus and waves to Makoto from the window.
"Bye Mako!" She shouts.
"Bye Moka!" Makoto waves back.
All of Moka's friends wave goodbye to Makoto's friends as they drive off.
"Bye Ami!"
"Bye Minako!"
"Bye Rei!"
"Bye Sailor Mo-I mean, Usagi!"
"Bye! Stop stalking people!"
"Bye! Try online dating!"
"Bye! Get some help Ruby!"
"Bye Yukari!"
When the bus is gone, the girls turn back to face Mamoru Chibi and Chibiusa, the civilian identities of Tuxedo-Mask and Chibi Moon.
"So, are you finally gonna tell us what the heck happened?" Chibiusa asks.
"Also, do we trust them with our secrets?" Mamoru asks.
"It's a long story." Usagi says.
Makoto smiles as she watches the bus disappear from sight.
"I was just catching up with an old friend."

Omake's
Trying to remove the Rosary
"So your white haired self was pretty different." Makoto says to Moka.
"Yeah. She's a bit more aggressive. Less personal." Moka admits.
"Is SHE that part of you that makes things difficult with Tsukune?" Makoto asks.
"I think she DOES like him, she just doesn't wanna admit it." Moka says. "She's afraid of being weak."
"Loving someone is not a weakness." Makoto says.
"Tell that to her!" Moka says/cries.
Makoto pulls on Moka's rosary in an attempt to bring "Inner-Moka" out to tell her just that. But instead, all she does is pull Moka down by the neck.
"Ow!" Moka cries.
"Sorry." Makoto says.
…
Hair Color
"Hey Moka, how come when we switched powers my hair turned white like your Inner-self self, and even though you were like your inner self your hair was pink?" Makoto asks.
Moka shrugs.
"I don't know. Must have been a mess up with the orb." She suggests.
Just then, Moka's older sister Akua Shuzen, who's nearly a foot shorter than Moka, has short dark hair and looks like a child, steps into the frame and addresses the audience. Moka and Makoto are startled by her sudden appearance.
"Actually it's because Moka's powers result in her hair color for HER specifically." Akua says. "For more clarification, read Rosario + Vampire II chapter 33."
