Modern Sailor Scouts

Chapter 5:

I Need a Hero

A/N: Ha! Two chapters in one day. Sorry that the last chapter was a little fast-paced. I couldn't think of anything good before the fight XD Anyway, it was longer than chapter 3, so I think it's alright. So, I will like to say enjoy and keep reading!

I got the idea for this chapter from a song I was listening to. It's called 'I need a Hero', hence the title. Anyway, I'm pretty glad I listened to it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon but I do own pretty much everything in this story XD ENJOY!

Cassie tossed and turned in her sleep and then shot up in her sleep, "Man, what's happening to me?" she asked herself as she looked out the window at the moon. She began to remember her dream.

A girl resembling Cassie walked down the stairs of a large castle into a large hall filled with many people wearing masks and she seemed to be shining with a silver glow.

"Happy Birthday, Princess" many men and women told her as she walked past. She smiled gently to all of them, walking out onto the balcony.

"How can I be happy…" she whispered, "If he hadn't come for my birthday?"

"He who?" said a voice behind her. She turned to see a man standing in a white tux and wearing a black mask the only covered his eyes. A silver cape flowed down his back as his black hair shone.

"You came" she sighed in joy.

He smiled and went to pull off his mask.

That's when she had woken up, she's been having theses for a while now. She began to wonder if she should tell Aries. She nodded, "I should, soon" she said softly and laid back down to sleep.

The next day, she woke up at the usual time and got ready for school. She ran down the stairs and into the kitchen, "Hey, Mom"

"Hey, sweetie. Hungry?"

Cassie nodded, "Sure"

Her little brother came into the room in school clothes.

"School starting again, Cammy?" Cassie asked, tussling his hair.

"Don't call me that" he said, swiping her hand away.

"Cameron, waffles or eggs?" their mother asked.

"Waffles, please"

"Cassie?"

"Can I have both?" Cassie asked sitting at the table.

Their mother smiled, "Sure"

After they had ate, Cassie headed for the door.

"Going somewhere?" Cameron asked.

"Yeah, a place called school, maybe you've heard of it" Cassie told him.

"Ha, ha, so funny I forgot to laugh"

"But you just did" she slipped out the door.

"Wait…no fair!" he called.

Cassie laughed as she walked down the street. Aries came up next to her, "What's so funny?"

Cassie shrugged, "If you have a little brother, you'd know"

Aries sighed, "Yes. Anyway, now we have Mercury, 3 more to go"

Cassie stopped walking, thinking about last night, "Hey, Aries. I know this might sound silly but am I a princess?"

Aries nodded, shocked, "Why, yes, you are. How did you know?"

Cassie sighed, 'Got to tell her'. "Well…I've been having these dreams, of a princess in a beautiful castle and she just so happened to look like me" she explained.

"Right" Aries said, 'I wonder, has she dreamed of him…' she thought "Anything else?"

Cassie suddenly remembered the masked man, "No, nothing else"

Aries nodded, 'That's good' she thought, "Alright, let me look into this" and with that, she ran off.

Cassie sighed again, 'Why didn't I tell her?' she thought. She shrugged, "Whatever" she began walking again. She soon saw a girl with long shiny blonde hair walking ahead of her. She ran towards her, "Hey, Heidi!"

Heidi turned and smiled, "Cassie, right?"

Cassie nodded and began walking with her.

"So…" Heidi began. Cassie looked over at her. "Everything that happened yesterday, was real?"

Cassie nodded, "Yeah, head to believe, huh?"

"Very. It seems so unreal" Heidi laughed, "I mean, me, a kick-butt heroine? It doesn't seem possible"

"I know what you mean. Believe me, I felt the same way not 2 weeks ago" Cassie explained.

"You mean, you've been fighting…evil for weeks now?"

"Pretty much. But it's nice to have some help now" Cassie smiled.

Heidi smiled too, "I guess you're right. So, we're in this together?"

Cassie nodded, "Till the end. You, me and three others"

"And Aries"

Cassie laughed, "Yeah, and Aries"

The two girls smiled to each other as they walked to school. Suddenly, the two heard dreadful screams.

"What?" Heidi asked, wide-eyed.

Cassie sighed and a look of determination appeared on her face, "Let's go"

"Right"

The two ran off the road and into the street, away from school.

Cassie looked back, 'I knew this would happen, sooner or later' she thought.

Heidi stopped at a corner, "Come on, down the alley. We need to stay out of sight to transform"

Cassie nodded and the two ran that way down the alley way. Cassie ran ahead, bumping into someone as they rounded a corner, falling over. "Ow" she complained. Heidi came up behind her.

"Hey, you should watch it" complained a male voice in front of her.

Cassie glared and sneered, "Maybe you should look before walking" she stood up, he did too.

He clearly didn't like being talked back to, "Well, I'm not the one with a big head" he dusted himself off.

"Big head?" Cassie asked and then grow angry, "Hey, my head is not big. It is quite normal sized. At least mine's not full of hot air!" she slipped past him, with her fist clenched.

"Sorry" Heidi apologized as she slipped past also, "Cassie! Wait up!"

"Hot air?" he groaned, "Damn" he cursed himself. He looked back over her shoulder, "Why was I so mean? She looked so familiar that I just got so angry?"

"I can't believe there is such a guy like him out there, he was so rude" Cassie shouted as she walked, "Let's just get this over with, I need to punch something"

Heidi nodded as she walked along side her, "Yeah, but he didn't seem like that type of guy" she shrugged and there were screams again.

"This is far enough, I think we lost him" Cassie said as she pulled out her brooch. Heidi clipped off her pendent. "Moon Prism Power!". "Mercury Power!"

This time the transformation seemed different. Heidi formed in her ball of water but as Cassie raised her arms for the gloves, one of the arm's ribbons were blue. The rest were pink but it felt different, she felt stronger.

The transformations ended and Sailor Moon and Mercury stood ready to fight.

"Let's hurry" Mercury said.

"Right" Sailor Moon told her as they ran out of the alley onto the street that was crowded with unconscious people and glowing heart crystals.

"It's him, again, I'm sure of it" Sailor Moon said. She looked from side to side and spotted someone still standing over by a payphone. "Mercury, over there"

Mercury nodded and the two ran over. Sailor Moon just then noticed who it was, it was that guy from the alley, 'Why him?'

Mercury noticed too, "Stop!" she called.

He looked over with an eyebrow raised at their outfits, "Are you two looking for an Anime Con?"

Sailor Moon held back her anger, "No" she sighed to control herself, "You have to go, it's dangerous here"

He looked at the people, "I can see"

"And the cheerleaders appear" said a familiar voice.

Sailor Moon and Mercury turned to find Harasu. Sailor Moon glared behind her at the guy, "Just stay behind us"

"Sure" he said.

"And who's this?" Harasu asked. He stared at the guy, "He…he's different"

"Stay away from him" Sailor Moon said, 'What the? Why would I…'

"Or what?" Harasu shrugged, "Doesn't matter anyhow, I didn't come for the hearts this time, I came for her" he pointed at Mercury.

The two exchanged glances and smiled. They rushed towards him. He was surprised by their sudden attack but then smirked, "I'd say two for two" he snapped his fingers, causing to shapes to emerge from his shadow. "Toukai, Tetsu, take care of them"

The shapes formed two women, one with powder white skin and the other with pitch black. The white one had black hair and eyes while the black one had white hair and eyes. They turned to the girls.

"I'll get the black you, you get the other" Sailor Moon called to Mercury. She nodded and they split up.

The white one, Tetsu rushed at Mercury. Mercury dodged to the right and then turned, kicking out at Tetsu. But Mercury missed and Tetsu sent a white blast at her, knocking Mercury into a building nearby.

'These guys are crazy, righting monster in those messed up costumes" The guy though as he watched.

"Mercury!" Sailor Moon called but had to dodge Toukai's attacks. She glared at Toukai.

Mercury got up, holding her right arm a bit. She lifted her arms, "Shine Aqua Pressure!"

And two walls of water formed on either side of Tetsu, slamming into her with great force. Mercury smirked.

A hand shot out at Mercury and pinned her to the building by her neck. Tetsu stepped from the smoke of the attack, smirking at her.

Sailor Moon tired to dodge as fast as she could but it was becoming more difficult. She didn't notice the person that was lying on the ground behind and she tripped over it when she stepped back to dodge. Toukai grabbed Sailor Moon's shirt and threw her into the wall near Mercury.

"Sailor Moon!" Mercury shouted as she struggled to get free from Tetsu's grasp.

Sailor Moon stood up, "They've gotten tougher" she muttered.

Suddenly, an iron bar stroked out at Testu's arm that had held Mercury. Tetsu pulled her arm back in a screech of pain.

Mercury and Sailor Moon turned to find it was that guy who held that iron bar, "Now would be a good time to destroy them" he told them.

The two nodded. Mercury raised her arms as Toukai dashed up next to Tatsu. "Shine Aqua Pressure!" and two walls of water slammed into the two shadow figures.

Sailor Moon stepped up when the water cleared and she pulled out her scepter, then turned the scepter onto the shadows, pointing it at them. "Moon…" She twirled in a circle three times slightly faster than normal, "Cosmic…" She stood in one place, spinning the scepter in many circles on her finger, "Crash!" She caught hold of it made a circle around her, casting a bright white light at the two shadows, causing them to turn into moon dust.

"Must you always win!" Harasu shouted as he disappeared.

The guy dropped the bar and dusted his hands off.

"Thank you" Sailor Moon told him. He turned to her and then turned away. He began walking away. Sailor Moon glared at him, "Well, that was rude"

Mercury shrugged, "Let's go, we have to give all those crystal back"

"And here we go again" Sailor Moon muttered.

As he was walking away, a vision flashed into his mind. A man looking like him, a girl with brown hair and wearing a golden dress. The two held each other as a dark blast hurtled towards them and then it was gone. "What?" he muttered as he looked over his shoulder at the two girls, more so at Sailor Moon.

"Man, am I tired" Cassie groaned as she laid down on her bed.

"Bad morning?" Aries asked.

"Very, that Harasu guy decided to attack during school so I missed the lessons. Can't he take a break or something?"

Aries shook her head, "I'm proud you chose lives over school"

Cassie sat up, "Whatever, I guess I'm just good at heart" she looked over her shoulder out of the window at the moon, somehow feeling someone was watching her, somewhere.

A/N: Yes, the title is very misleading but I like doing that, mislead people XD its fun. Anyway, chapter 5, yes! I'm on a roll. Tell me what you think and please continue reading. I would also like some ideas cause I'm having a bit of writer's block for chapter 6 but I already have a plan for chapter 9 DX I have to think of stuff to go between that plan.
