Hey, guys! Sorry this was late but in my defense, it's longer than most of my chapters ^-^
As always, Read Review and Tell A Buddy!
***Please read the author's note at the bottom***
Disclaimer: Even after begging, praying, and pleading, I still don't own Sailor Moon.
The teleporter took us to a well-populated Martian city. The similarities between here and Shibuya were astounding.
Under the cover of the ever-moving crowd, Mamo-chan and I de-transformed. "This way," Rei directed.
"Guys?" I yelled for fifth time. As expected, I didn't get a reply. I sighed. Somehow, I managed to lose ALL the senshi, my future self, AND my soulmate. And now, I was aimlessly wandering through a strange Martian city. "Great. Only you, Usagi."
The only way I was going to find my teammates was with a bird's eye view. I chuckled. The only way that was going to happen was if I had wings. Boy, I wish I had win—. I. Am. A. TOTAL. IDIOT.
I turned down the nearest alley and grabbed my brooch. "Silver Moon Cr—."
"Mayomi-kooooo!" A voice interrupted my transformation. "I finally found yoooou!"
I looked around then turned to the middle-aged man. "Me?" I asked. "I think you made a mistake…"
"Mayomi-ko! How could you run away from meeee!"
I sweatdropped. "I can think of a few reason," I mumbled. A little louder, "I'm not Mayomi, sir."
"Being stubborn again, are we?" The annoying baka then rushed toward me.
I closed my eyes and screamed.
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
"Venus Wink Chain Sword!"
I opened one eye and let out a breath at what I saw. I don't know how a flaming arrow and a golden blade at a guy's neck calmed me down but whatever works.
"You're ten steps too close to our princess," Mars growled between bared teeth.
The man gulped and backed away.
"Usagi," Venus spoke, not taking her eyes off the man, "he didn't hurt you, did he?"
"N-no," I stuttered.
"Fine," Venus glared at the man. "I'll give you five second to leave with your limbs."
"I'll give you two," Mars cracked her knuckles.
"One—."And the man was gone. The two senshi put away their weapons.
"Thank kami," I whimpered. I pulled my friends into a hug. "Thank you so much!"
"Venus, Mars?" a soft voice emanated through the alley.
We turned to see Mercury. "Ami-chan!" I exclaimed.
"Who are you?" Mercury snapped as she made her way to us.
"Y-you don't recognize me?"
She gave a sad smile. "Should I?"
"She's not our Ami, Usagi," Mars realized.
"Not your—," Ami repeated, "what are you talking about?"
"We'll explain later, Mercury," Venus said. "Where Jupiter and Serenity?"
"Don't you remember? Serenity went to Jupiter with Makoto to design the wedding cake."
"Jupiter?" three of us screamed at once.
Mercury looked from Mars to Venus. "Yes," she said slowly. "Truly, I believe you two hurt your heads worse than I thought during the battle. Please hurry to Jupiter. We'll need your help to contain the fire that Serenity is sure to start."
"Burn…" I mumbled under my breath. And Mercury was off. I looked at Minako and Rei. "We missed her again."
"I know," Rei mumbled. She let out a frustrated growl and glared at me. "Usagi-baka! Can't you stay in one place?"
I glared right back at her. "Don't catch an attitude with me, Pyro! It's not my fault YOU'RE late for once!" And yet another raspberry war commenced.
"Guys!" Venus yelled over our 'pffft's. "We have to let the others know Usagi's alright."
"Oh, that's right," Rei sweatdropped.
"Let's go on the roof," Venus suggested.
I grabbed my brooch again. "Silver Moon Crystal Power! Make up!"
We jumped onto the nearest roof. "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
"Mars Phoenix Fire!"
The senshi aimed their attacks at the sky. The attacks collided and exploded into a frenzy of fireworks. "Okay," I said, "as cool as that was, I didn't quite get the point."
"Wait for it," Minako said with a wink and smile.
Moments later, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mercury, Tuxedo Kamen, and Sailor Comos jumped onto the roof. Tuxedo Kamen rushed over and pulled me into a hug. "Thank kami," he whispered. "Where was she?"
"You're lucky, Tuxie," Minako said. "We came just in time to stop her from being attacked by a pedo with no fashion sense."
"Yeah," Rei agreed, "for some reason, Usagi attracts strange men."
We shuddered thinking about Ail, Umino, and Seiya. Rei was definitely right (although Seiya was cute).
Sailor Cosmos spoke, "Now that we've found Usagi, we must reach the princess.
"Well," I said, reluctantly pulling out of Mamo-chan warm embrace, "we'll need a teleporter again."
"What?" Jupiter cried. "Why?"
"She went to Jupiter," Venus explained, "to prepare the wedding cake."
"This might be our chance to finally catch her," Mercury said, pulling the Mercury from her sub-space pocket. "Knowing Usagi's cooking skills and eagerness to help, she'll be there a while."
I gaped. "Well, I an offended."
"Oh?" Mars said, "that changes everything!"
"Really?"
"No."
Ami shook her head and typed away on her computer. "The teleporter isn't in the palace here," she announced.
"Thank goodness," Mako-chan breathed. "Minako-chan won't have to knock out anymore guards that want a chance with Usagi."
"Where is it?" Serenity asked.
"In the library," Ami explained. "Since many people travel here to Earth, the teleporter has been made public."
"Good," I said.
"For a price," Mercury quickly added, "much like America, your freedom comes with a bill."
"Meaning…" I urged.
"Meaning," Mamo-chan explained, "you have to pretty much pay for everything."
Mars let out a frustrated sigh. "How much does it cost, Mercury?"
"More than we have," Mercury replied simply. "So we have three options."
"One,"; Cosmos said, "get a job. We don't have enough time for that."
"Two," Mamo-chan spoke, "knock out the guards. With as many people going in and out of the teleporter, that will be almost impossible to get away with."
"Three," I said, "wait until after dark, break and use the teleporter."
"And since it is a 24-hour business, that will be a waste of our time," Ami finished.
"We've done the impossible before," Cosmos said, "option two."
"Work hours are going to have the least number of people," Mars informed us.
Mercury typed again. "Lunch break for most workers ends in ten minutes. The library is fifteen minutes away by foot."
"Five minutes by roof," Mamo-chan added.
"Roof, it is," I said, "Mercury, lead the way."
With a nod, Ami jumped onto the next roof.
"There are," Minako told us over the communicator, "fourteen guards."
"We can take them," Jupiter said with confidence.
"How many civilians?" I asked.
"I see…" Minako replied, "eight so far. Nothing we can't handle."
"It's almost time," Mercury announced.
"Get into position!" Serenity commanded.
We crotched beside our assigned windows and Minako stood beside a bookshelf. We put away our communicators.
"Ready…" Ami braced us. "Now!"
We broke the windows and jump onto bookshelf. "Shabon Spray!" Mercury attacked on way down.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Makoto took out her two guards immediately.
"Tuxedo the Smoking Bomber!" Tuxedo Kamen blinded the crowd when the fog faded.
"Passionate Cosmic Crystal Kiss!" Sailor Cosmos handled her guards with ease.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" The two guards were knocked out on contact.
"Mars Phoenix Fire!" Mars took care of her guards.
"Moon Gorgeous Meditation!" I knocked two guards.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" Mercury handled three guards.
The smoke from Tuxedo Kamen's attack cleared. We weren't surprised to learn that all the civilians ran away.
There was only one terrified guard left standing. I took a step forward. "Look," I said, "we don't want to hurt you. We just need to use the teleporter."
"N-not while I'm here!" the guard tried to act brave. "N-now don't come any closer!"
Sailor Jupiter rolled her eyes. "This is what happens when you try to be nice. Sir, step away from the mysterious button. Now."
The guard shook his head. "You b-better leave now. If you don't, I'll press this button AND call the Sailor Senshi! They'll handle terrorists like you!"
We only did what any person in our person un our situation would do. Laugh. Was this guy serious?
"No, really!" the guard insisted, "I know them! We're close friends, in fact!"
So these were our guards in action. Yep, Serenity was going on a firing frenzy soon. We laughed harder.
He growled, obviously mad that we didn't believe his lie, and pressed the button. An alarm sounded. "Oh, for the love of Endymion!" Cosmos cried. She yanked a long, beautiful scepter from her sub-space pocket. "Cosmic Moon Rainbow Wave!" The guard, hilarious as he was, was knocked out.
We just stared at Cosmos. "What?" she demanded. "Someone had to do it."
Before we could reply, the ground shook. "W-what was that?" I whimpered.
"Oh no," Mars said under her breath.
"What?" I demanded. "What is it?"
"Get on the teleporter," she said quickly. When we didn't move, she added, "Now!"
We grabbed hands and ran into the teleporter. I turned my head just in time to see a giant (angry) griffin covered in fire. It spotted us, too, and ran into the teleporter as well.
Okay, I know I'm pushing it by making Neo-Queen Serenity into Sailor Cosmos but I couldn't imagine a queen with a ridiculously long dress jumping from roof to roof and conducting a (sort-of) military operation like aI could imagine a Sailor Senshi doing it. Technically, Serenity and Sailor Cosmos ARE the same person and I'm already combining time periods. But it's up to you! Do you want Sailor Cosmos to make another appearance? Tell me in a review!
***Also, I have a poll on my account that need answering ASAP! I need it to continue the story!***
