CHAPTER 3 – Welcome to the show
Usagi yawned and rubbed away the sleep from her eyes. She was so comfortable laying here in her soft bed. With her hands she grasped the grass beneath her and… Wait a minute! Grass?
Usagi's eyes opened wide and saw the night sky above her, along with huge trees and their leaves dancing in the wind. What happened? Where is she?
She rubbed her head as she sat up and began looking around, trying to get a sense of where she was. There were plenty of trees, flowerbeds and a very familiar pond. That's when Usagi realized she was in Shinjuku Park, though… it didn't feel or look quite right. The grass wasn't as green, and the flowers were dead and just the whole place felt cold and grey.
Usagi grasped her crystal compact that was attached to her bow, and she realized she wasn't transformed anymore.
A voice moaned in pain. ''Ow… my back.''
Usagi turned and gasped when she saw Minako sitting on top of Kunzite! ''You have no right to complain,'' he growled. When Minako saw who she was sitting on she let out a small scream and clumsily removed herself.
Slowly Kunzite stood up, his eyes tracing the blonde up and down. ''So this is what you really are. Not that impressive.''
Minako looked down at her school uniform. Her face became steaming red as she covered herself as if she would have been naked. She growled back at him, ''This is just my civilian form you ass! I'm not any less powerful!''
After seeing the senshi's identities, it was as if a magic veil had lifted and now you could see them clearly. Face and voice.
The rest of the untransformed senshi were now slowly waking up from their blackouts, as well as the shitennou.
Ami and Zoisite had landed closest to the pond. After they shook their heads and stood up on wobbly legs, they took in their surroundings. ''Shinjuku?'' Ami questioned. ''Why would the portal transport us here?''
Jadeite woke up with a massive headache. ''If I knew I was gonna feel like shit after, I wouldn't have latched on to you.''
Rei's eyes shot invisible fire at him. ''Who asked you to, you blockhead?!''
''Oh, please,'' Jadeite made a cocky grin. ''We both know you love my hands on you, firebird.''
That nickname for some reason created flashes in Rei's head. She must have heard it somewhere before, but she could not seem to remember at the moment.
She blushed both in embarrassment and in rage. ''In my nightmares, you hentai!'' She pushed him to the ground.
Zoisite chuckled, grabbing everyone's attention.
Rei turned to him still angry. ''What are you laughing at?''
''Oh, not you two… I'm laughing at them.'' He made a small gesture at two people still lying in the grass with their arms around each other. Nephrite lay on his back with Makoto on top of his body, resting her head against his strong chest. Makoto snuggled a bit as Nephrite's arms tightened around her. They both had a small but visible smile on their lips.
''Makoto!'' Minako blushed. ''Wake up!''
Kunzite ordered Nephrite to do the same and they both opened their eyes sleepily.
Makoto rubbed her eyes and looked up, ''Why is everyone staring at me?''
Zoisite hovered over them still laughing. ''Are you having a nice moment, Nephy?'' he teased.
Makoto blinked in confusion. A male voice spoke beside her ear, making her jump in surprise. ''What are you babbling about now, pretty boy?''
The surface beneath Makoto was moving? And breathing!? She looked down and froze when she came nose to nose with Nephrite!
The general froze as well, before both of them screamed as they jumped away from each other. They both made noises of disgust, like two children who believed in cooties.
''It feels like my soul has been violated!'' Makoto gagged and Nephrite narrowed his eyes at her. ''I'm the victim here! You seemed to have a bloody good time while snuggling up to me.''
Makoto gaped at him, her face becoming red as a tomato. She was so embarrassed… because he was right, it did feel nice. But she would die before telling him that! ''I didn't even know it was you!'' She spoke the truth, although their embrace had for some reason felt familiar.
''Yeah… keep telling yourself that, sweetie,'' he smirked at the pet name and walked over to his brothers.
'''Sweetie'?!'' Makoto roared. ''I'll show you sweetie!'' She pulled out her transformation pen. ''JUPITER POWER!'' she yelled… but the lightning didn't embrace her like she expected. Actually, nothing happened at all. There was a brief silence until the girls gasped in bewilderment. They all mimicked Makoto and tried to transform, but to no avail. They could not transform!
The generals laughed at them.
Makoto decided that transformed or not, Nephrite was getting a beating from her! She moved to launch at him but all the girls restrained her. ''Why are you holding me back from crushing him?'' she questioned. ''He is the enemy!''
''You are not transformed!'' Minako wailed.
''I'll kick his ass anyway!''
''Oh, yes,'' said Kunzite, ''Thank you for reminding us, Lady Jupiter.''
Knowing what his leader meant, Jadeite grinned. Nephrite and Zoisite followed. ''Let's kill the moon princess.''
The senshi froze at the threat, before they turned to shield Usagi as the four men raised their hands, taking aim at them ready to attack. The generals laughed at the way their enemy was shivering helplessly before them. The girls gathered in a big hug bracing them for a blow. Nothing could save them now!
The generals suddenly stopped laughing.
Realizing nothing was happening, the girls looked up at the men. The guys looked confused as they stared at their gloved hands.
''What is happening?'' Jadeite breathed.
Nephrite snarled, ''You mean, why is nothing happening?''
Zoisite cried out in frustration and anger as he tried to summon his powers over and over again to hit the senshi.
The girls disbanded from their hug. Minako laughed and mocked her enemy. ''Well, well, looks like Mr. Big and powerful is not so big and powerful any longer!''
Kunzite growled at her.
Rei snickered and Makoto called them weaklings while Usagi and Ami looked on in confusion. None of their powers were working? Why? Would they be gone forever? Was this really the Tokyo park they knew?
''What's all the commotion here?'' a female voice echoed. It was a voice that sounded familiar in Usagi's ears, but she could not put her finger on it.
There were sounds of rustling and the breaking of sticks coming from all round them, making both the senshi team and the shitennou move into a circle with their backs against each other.
''Ooooh… what do we have here?'' the voice said.
''W-who are you?'' Usagi squeaked.
Another female voice was heard, this one darker in tone. ''Whaaaat?'' she drew out the word.
No one had the time to respond before another softer voice spoke. ''This is very interesting.''
''What kind of trick is this?'' A fourth voice barked.
There were giggles and more whisperings amongst the unseen.
Zoisite did not like being surrounded. ''Show yourselves, you cowards!'' his voice thundered.
The first voice laughed. ''My, I have never heard him speak in that kind of tone. Well, if you insist. Girls, let's introduce ourselves.''
The girl's and the generals braced themselves for any kind of attack as they heard someone approach from four different directions around them. The senshi felt uneasy not knowing what dangers could be facing them. These voices didn't sound like youmas, but like regular people. A new enemy? If so, how would they defend themselves with no powers?
Four shapes walked forwards in the shadows, and when the senshi and shitennou saw their faces, their intense looks turned into confusion. They were stunned and aghast!
The four strangers, women… were identical to Mars, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus!
''Girls! Girls, answer me!'' Luna wailed into the microphone. She and Artemis had been sitting underground at the secret base, following the senshi's every move on the radar before they had suddenly disappeared.
Artemis clenched his sharp teeth as he paced the floor in worry. ''This can't be happening. The only reason for the radar not picking them up is if they were-''
''NO!'' Luna screamed at him. ''Don't even say it! Usagi is still alive, I can feel it!''
Artemis sighed in relief, trusting Luna's instinct. ''Then I guess we'll just have to wait and hope that they figure this out.''
''Wait, what?'' The prince inside Mamoru said, ''I'm to sit around while my princess is missing?'' He tore his black hair. ''Why did she become a senshi in the first place?''
She did perform magic in the silver millennium days, but not enough to be a warrior.
''I don't have all my memories,'' Luna began. ''But my guess is that the Queen wanted her daughter to be able to defend herself and keep her identity as a princess hidden.''
Artemis nodded. ''It worked for a while, with the little help Venus could provide, but since Usagi transformed in front of the enemy, her secret is now revealed.''
Mamoru bit his lip. ''What are we gonna tell all their parents if they don't show up tonight?''
''Artemis and I will hide their memories,'' Luna said casually as her tiny paws hit the computer keys.
''Take away their memories?'' That sounded horrible in Mamoru's ears. After all, he had been walking around since birth feeling like he had forgotten something. That something was missing from his life. Now when he knew that it was Serenity, he felt complete again.
''Hide, not take away, your highness.'' Artemis reassured the prince. ''If the girls return, we shall give them back.''
Mamoru sighed in frustration, but understood. Though, he could not just sit here! ''Let me go out to the North Pole and look for them.''
''That is impossible for you,'' Luna turned her head away from the screens to look at him. ''You don't possess the power to survive in such extreme cold… at least not yet.''
Mamoru understood what she meant. They do remember the Golden crystal which he once wielded, but it had yet to appear. He didn't know how to make it appear. Usagi had summoned her crystal when her memories of her past life surfaced, but that didn't happen for him.
''Then I will work hard in expanding my powers,'' he promised the two cats. ''When Usako returns…'', and he knew she would return, ''I will be strong enough to match her strength.''
Both Artemis and Luna smiled. ''We are looking forward to it.''
Where they seeing double? Usagi kept looking back and forth between her own Senshi and these strange ones. No, they were definitely there in front of them. No mirrors, no illusions. They looked just like her Senshi, but also… not.
Venus had a long loose braid, Mars's hair was tied in a high ponytail, Jupiter had her hair down with the sides pulled back in a black hairclip, and Mercury's hair reached her shoulders.
Their matching uniforms were made of black leather, but their skirts were colored the same as the other Senshi's. The bows on their chests had a spiky shape. Their corsets were attached to a short overskirt which opened up at the front, and they were also attached to shoulder sleeves. The uniforms had pointy collars that stretched up and over their shoulders and ended attached at the back of the corsets. They all wore long armor bracelets on their arms which matched the color of their skirts.
Venus wore long heel leather boots which reached her thighs, Mars wore the familiar red heels but she also wore long black stockings, Jupiter wore green boots with black buckles on them and Mercury wore boots as well, blue at the bottom but black up her legs.
The way these strange Senshi were looking at them reminded Usagi of the generals, sneaky and eager for a fight, not friendly at all.
''Surprise,'' the other Venus whispered with a seductive tone. ''Welcome to our world.''
''Y-your world?'' Usagi answered.
''Wow… Look at Serenity,'' the other Jupiter looked up and down at the petite girl. ''Those buns are so unlike her.''
The other Mercury ignored Jupiter's comment and answered Usagi's question as she pulled up her computer and began scanning them, ''It's the only explanation. Sure, we never thought about the possibility that other dimensions exist. Though, this is clearly what has happened.''
''That… that is amazing!'' Ami gasped, completely astonished and Zoisite looked fascinated as well.
''Who cares!'' Jadeite growled. Rei rolled her eyes at his childish behavior. ''This fucking dimension is messing with my powers. I say we leave this world!''
''Oh~! They are definitely not like our Shitennou,'' the other Venus giggled.
The other Mars took a step towards them. ''Oh! You want to leave this world?'' she hissed at him. Her eyes burned with such hate, Rei wondered what her problem was. ''I'll gladly put all of you out of your misery!'' she began summoning fire in her hands. But then she was pulled back by her hair which was tugged hard by the other Venus. She pushed the other Mars away with massive strength making the red Senshi hit a tree.
Usagi and her friends gasped in horror. The generals just looked shocked, they had never witnessed the Senshi treat each other that way.
''I didn't order an attack, Rehana! Don't you try to act leader, know your place!''
Rehana? Something flashed in Rei's mind. The image was dark and fussy, but she saw the shadowy shape of a woman in a red dress being cornered by a man. They way they seemed to be acting, they were flirting.
Rei's head was aching, and Makoto took notice. ''Are you okay?'' she asked. ''I don't know…'' Rei answered.
''Better quit moping over there, Mars,'' the other Mercury commented as she typed on her small computer. ''The guys are heading this direction.''
''The loser squad?'' the other Jupiter rolled her eyes. ''Won't let us have any fun.''
The amazon Senshi stomped over to the other Mars and forced her to stand up. ''Come on sour girl, we are leaving.''
''Wait!'' the other Venus stopped them. She patted her chin with her yellow painted fingernail and had a wicked smile on her face. ''They are too fascinating to let go… Orithyia, grab these Shitennou.''
Ami felt a sudden pain in her head. Orithyia? In a flashing image she saw the shape of a woman in a blue dress sitting by a lake, and by a tree someone was watching her. Heavens, what was that?
''If you say so,'' the other Mercury obeyed her leader and with a snap by her fingers, the Shitennou were suddenly caught in a conjured bubble.
''What the – ?'' Zoisite gasped while Nephrite and Jadeite tried to punch it open. Kunzite narrowed his eyes at these new Senshi, which he had decided he didn't like, and ordered them to release them.
The other Venus sang, ''Patience~!'' before she and her Senshi all disappeared in their rainbow colored lights, and the Shitennou were gone with them.
Usagi and the girls stood in silence. Everything had happened so quickly. Another dimension where they served evil instead of good? Clearly, after seeing the way they were acting. This was madness! And why did the girls feel concerned about the Shitennou being kidnapped? Concerned for their safety or that they could possible team up with the other senshi? No, that could not happen! They didn't have any powers right? But… neither did the girls. How were they supposed to fight and defend themselves now?
Mamo-chan… Usagi wished for her prince.
Makoto broke the silence. ''What the heck just happened here?''
''We would like to know that as well.'' A sudden man's voice made the girls jump in fright. They turned around slowly, not really keen on any more surprises, but then they saw them…
There stood three of the shitennou in completely different uniforms.
