Sailor Moon and her friends during high school crossover with Cardcaptor Sakura
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura but I do have a lot of original characters. Some are borrowed from other animes/cartoons.
The next day, Rini went to Serena's room to wake her up but to her surprise, she was already up because she usually slept in on the weekends.
"Serena, what time are you meeting Darien?"
"What makes you say I'm going to see him today?" Serena grinned.
Rini just laughed. "Come on, Serena. When has there ever been a day when you two weren't together sometime during the day? Plus, you're up early today. But why do you ask, Luna?"
"I'm not meeting him till later today. The girls and I are going to do something first."
"She wants to make sure that we can trust Andrew."
"Luna!" Both Serena and Rini were disappointed in Luna.
From downstairs, Mrs. Tsukino was yelling for Serena and Rini. "The girls are here!"
"I'll be right down, Mom!" She saw the girls in the kitchen halfway down the stairs. "Hey girls, what are you doing here so early? Weren't we supposed to meet at noon? Hi Hotaru."
Hotaru had come with the girls so she can have a picnic with Rini.
"It is noon," Mina answered.
Raye just rolled her eyes.
"Are you not ready yet?" Lita was a bit confused because Serena was usually lazy but not that lazy.
"What does it look like? Let's go!" She linked her arms with Amy and Lita. "Have fun Hotaru, Rini." ("You know how to contact us if you need anything.")
After Serena left, Rini asked Mrs. Tsukino, "Auntie, can we start packing for the picnic?"
"Yes, can we?"
"I should be done in a little bit. How about you wait a little bit? Then we can pack together, okay?"
"Okay!" they answered in unison.
Outside the Tsukino home, Mina asked, "So what should we do today?"
"I was thinking that it's great weather for training but we have no place to train." Of course Lita would want to train.
"What kind of training? Are you thinking like target practice?" Amy asked. "If we want to train, we'll have to go to a secluded place."
"There's this place I used to go to behind my temple to be alone. No one knows about it and there's plenty of space for us to train."
"Let's go then." Serena started heading towards the Cherry Hill Temple
"Someone's pumped about training today." Lita pointed out.
"It's this whole Badiyanu thing that has me all riled up. She is not going to kidnap anymore children or hurt anyone else again after we're done with her."
"That's the spirit," Mina smiled.
Back inside the Tsukino home, Rini and Hotaru were in Rini's room.
"Hotaru, I don't think Auntie's going to be done any time to take us on a picnic. So what do you want to do today?"
"I don't know…didn't think of anything else because I was too excited about the picnic."
"Hmm…"
Downstairs, the doorbell rang.
"Rini, could you get that for me?"
"Okay!" She and Hotaru headed downstairs to check the door. "Who is it?"
"Delivery for Rini Tsukino and Hotaru Tomoe!"
Recognizing the voice behind the door, Rini immediately opened the door. "Darien!" She attack hugged him.
"Hi Rini, Hotaru. Are you two here home alone?"
"Serena's mom was going to take us on a picnic but she suddenly got busy and now she can't. So we were just thinking of things we can do but it's so hard because we were both looking forward to the picnic."
"Then I guess you're both free to go to the park," Andrew winked at Hotaru and Rini.
Hearing Andrew and Darien's voices, Mrs. Tsukino came to the door. "Hi Andrew, Darien. Serena's not here right now. You missed her and the girls by five minutes.
"Actually we came to get Rini and Hotaru. We thought that you could use time alone Mrs. Tsukino," Fiory smiled.
Next to Fiory was Andrew grinning ear to ear while nudging Darien in the ribs.
Darien just laughed because he understood what his friend meant.
"That's really sweet of you boys. Darien, I don't recall seeing this boy before."
"He's an old friend of mine who recently came back into town."
"Nice to finally meet you, Mrs. Tsukino, my name is Fiory."
"It's nice to meet you too, Fiory."
"Where are we going to go?" Rini asked.
"Well, there are three of us and two of you. Is there anyone you want to invite to the amusement park?" Andrew was only able to think of the amusement park since he didn't know a lot about kids.
"Again? But didn't you just go a few days ago, Rini? Darien, you need to stop spoiling Rini so much because it's bad for her and you'll go broke," Mrs. Tsukino frowned.
"We're going to go to a different amusement park and its okay, Mrs. Tsukino. Rini doesn't go very often and this time, she's not alone. Plus, her parents asked us to spoil her once in a while in their stead."
"You know her parents too?"
Darien nodded. He couldn't go into specifics saying he was her father and Rini was from the future, here in the present trying to become a better sailor scout.
"I bet you're thinking of taking Masanori, Rini." Hotaru knew her friend very well.
"I was thinking about Melissa and Kyusuke too," she said blushing. Masanori was a boy that Rini had a crush on for a very long time.
"More the merrier as long as we don't have to pay for them."
"Okay." And with that, Rini went to go call Melissa, Masanori, and Kyusuke.
"Do the others know where we're going?"
"We thought that we wouldn't bother them since they're training. They're going to be busy for a while. Surprisingly, Serena's really pumped up about this training."
"I'm guessing Serena doesn't like to train much?"
"Nope."
The guys all laughed.
Rini came back from using the phone and said that neither Melissa and Kyusuke were available but Masanori was.
"Do we need to go pick him up?
"He said that he'll ask one of his parents to drop him off."
"Okay, shall we go then? Bye Mrs. Tsukino."
"Have fun kids," Mrs. Tsukino waved.
In front of Time Galaxy amusement park, the guys, Hotaru and Rini were waiting for Masanori.
"Does anyone see him yet?" Just then, she saw a car stop in front of the amusement park. "Oh wait, there he is!" She starting walking toward the car and everyone else followed.
Masanori thanked his mom as he got out of the car and greeted his friends. "Hi Hotaru, Rini. Did you all have to wait long?"
"Nope, we just got here," Hotaru replied.
"Masanori, we got your ticket for you so we can go straight in."
"Thank you, Darien."
Andrew whispers, "Who's the kid?"
"He's Rini's…" he coughs, "...boyfriend."
His friends just laughed.
"You're allowing her to have a boyfriend at that age?"
"Serena and I were younger than her when we first met."
"I know that but the two of you are parents." Fiory couldn't stop laughing.
"What's so funny?" The kids were looking at Fiory like he was crazy since he was laughing hysterically.
"It's nothing you kids need to know. What do you want to do first?"
"How about a water ride?" Hotaru suggested. "It will be a way to cool down on a hot day like this."
"Sure, but no arcade games. Rini has had her share of arcade games."
"Speaking of arcade games, Andrew, do you have a job opening at the arcade? I need to get a job since I'm going to be here for a long time."
"No, sorry, but my sister had asked me to help her find some people for the restaurant, waiters to be specific." Andrew rolled his eyes. "She thinks it might be good to have a guy to help her out."
"The Crown Plaza right?"
"Did Darien tell you?"
"Yeah. Do you think you could ask her about the job?"
"Yeah, sure. Do you have a place to stay?"
"He's living in the apartment across from me."
"Jim gave him an apartment of his choice?"
"Apparently all of the tenants on my floor left so yeah. Actually, we have the whole floor to ourselves. You know how small the apartment complex is."
The attendant shouted for the next group to step up to the front and sit in the ride.
"That's us. Come on guys!"
"Can it fit all six of us in here?" Fiory asked as he started to sit.
It was a bit tight, but they all fit. As soon as they all sat down, the attendant pressed the green button and called next.
At Cherry Hill Temple, the girls had just finished their current round of target practice.
"Good job, Serena!" Amy and Lita smiled.
"Yeah, that was pretty good," Mina added.
"You up for more?" Raye asked?
"Bring it."
"Let's practice Defensive Training," Lita said.
"Are we going to attack each other?" Mina didn't seem to keen on that idea.
"No, I'm going to be the one attacking you so have to try to block me. Who's first?"
"I'll go. This Badiyanu thing needs to be dealt with and fast. She hurt Darien and Rini. Badiyanu must be punished!" Serena was determined to get stronger to protect those she loves.
"That's the spirit." Raye was glad Serena was finally getting serious.
"Anger shouldn't be the reason you're fighting though."
"I'm fighting for world peace," Serena grinned.
They all just laughed.
"Ready?"
"Oh yeah!"
Back at the amusement park, the kids were laughing after the water ride.
"That was fun," Rini giggled.
"Awkward is more like it," Andrew muttered.
"I hear ya dude."
"What should we do next?"
"Well, there's this roller coaster I've been wanting to ride," Masanori suggested. So they all headed to the roller coaster he wanted to ride.
Darien sighed. "Rini, do you really expect us to ride with you again?"
"Do you trust us to walk around by ourselves?"
"Yeah, do you, Darien?" Fiory just kept grinning like an idiot.
"You'll just be in line by yourselves, not walking around the whole park. You're still a kid, Rini and I'm responsible for all of you. We will be waiting for you three in front of the roller coaster."
"Can we play games after this ride, Darien?"
"Rini, you've had your share of games for a long time."
"Aww." Rini sounded a bit disappointed.
"Did you win anything?" Masanori asked.
"Darien got me the whole Sailor Scout set including Tuxedo Mask."
"Who's your favorite scout Masanori?"
"I like Sailor Mini Moon. She also saved my life."
"Really? I like Sailor Mini Moon too!"
("When was this?") Darien's eyebrows were raised.
("It was a long time ago when Eugeal was around, hunting pure heart crystals.")
("Pure Heart Crystals…") That time was a bad memory for Hotaru because she was possessed by an evil sorceress called Mistress Nine and she had hurt Rini in the process.
"What about you Hotaru? Who's your favorite scout?"
"I would say Sailor Saturn because she's small but tough."
"You're right, Hotaru, she is tough," Rini said agreeing with her friend.
Back at Cherry Hill Temple, Lita was ready to call quits for the day.
"Man, I'm beat."
"Yeah, same here," Raye agreed with Mina.
"I'm up for more."
Amy, Raye, Lita, and Mina looked shocked at Serena's response.
"You must really want to get rid of Badiyanu." Amy wanted to understand why her friend was so eager to get rid of this enemy again.
"I almost lost Rini again because of her but Queen Beryl's still the worst out of all of them."
"Why don't we go to the amusement park where the guys and the kids are?"
"That's sounds like a good idea, Lita. The kids are probably getting bored by now. Let's meet them at the front of the park."
("Darien, will you guys meet us outside the amusement park in about an hour?")
("Is something going on?")
("Nope, nothing. We just want to see you guys.")
The guys and the kids heard screaming. ("Spoke too soon…")
("Teleport us Fiory!")
("I already contacted the others.") Hotaru was one step ahead of everyone.
("But how are we supposed to transform with Masanori here?")
The five scouts showed up at amusement park. "Show yourself!"
Masanori was in awe. "Wow, it's the Sailor Scouts!"
"You guys should go find a safe place to hide. Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
"Shine Aqua Illusion!"
"Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!"
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
"Moon Tiara Magic!"
The monster showed itself to the scouts. "Who are you to disturb my hunt?!"
"I am Sailor Moon!"
"And we're the Sailor Scouts!"
It took a deep breath. "Such rich blood I smell."
("It's a vampire!")
Then the vampire started to walk toward the five scouts, grinning.
"Turn it into Moon Dust Sailor Moon!"
"Right! Moon Princess…!"
Before Sailor Moon could finish her attack, the vampire tried to Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon started screaming. ("Get it out of me!")
"Sailor Moon!" The scouts ran toward Sailor Moon to try to help but then they were blown back by an unknown force.
("Darien!")
("Serena!") "You guys go ahead. I'll be right back. ("Hide Masanori and come fast! Serena's in trouble!") ("Where are you guys?")
("We're in the middle of the park.")
Darien started running towards the direction of the scouts. He transformed on his way. When he arrived at the Scouts' location, he saw the scouts struggling to stay standing and Sailor Moon surrounded by a dark cloud. "What's happening to her?!"
"A vampire is trying to possess her!"
"Get out of her!"
The vampire just smirked.
"I won't let you hurt her any longer! LIGHT!"
"No, it's too bright!" Shrieking, the vampire released Sailor Moon and ran away.
"Sailor Moon!" He caught her then called for the SHIELD card. "Hey, say something! Are you alright?"
Slowly, Sailor Moon opened her eyes. "Tuxedo Mask?"
"Thank goodness."
"Is everyone okay?"
"Mom!"
"I'm okay now. DARK!" ("Fiory, teleport us out of here please.")
Outside amusement park, everyone had changed back to their civilian forms.
"Serena?" Darien was still worried about Serena.
"I'll be okay." She smiled at him to reassure him.
"Hey girls, what a coincidence seeing you here." Andrew was just saying that since Masanori was the only one who didn't know of their secret.
"Hey Rini, that's your cousin right?"
"Yup."
"It's nice seeing you again, Masanori," Serena smiled. "It's been a while since we last saw each other but it seems like you still remember me."
Masanori bowed. "It's nice to see you again, too. Rini talks about you a lot during art class so it's hard to forget."
"What are you saying about me to Masanori, Rini?"
"Nothing." Rini just smiled.
Everyone laughed.
"How was the park?" Lita asked.
"Awkward…" Andrew and Fiory both answered at the same time.
"Well I was having fun until that monster showed up. Where did it come from?"
"Who cares as long as it's gone?"
"Masanori, do you need a ride back?"
"No, my parents' work is near here so I can just walk from here."
"Let us walk you there at least then."
"No, it's okay; I'll be fine. Thank you for inviting me. See you Rini." He waved at Rini as he was leaving.
"He's such a polite kid."
"Are you guys going to go after the monster now?"
"We usually wait for them to show up rather than going around everywhere. They always do." Mina didn't really seem to care for going after the monster.
"Yeah, they usually come back to us. We don't go after the monsters unless we have to."
"You should probably go, Andrew. Who knows when it'll show up again?"
"We don't want you in the crossfire. Lita would probably kill me if anything happened to you," Darien grinned.
"Darien…" Lita was embarrassed by Darien's comment.
"Okay, I'll see you all later then. Bye Lita." After kissing Lita on the cheek, Andrew left.
"What do you usually do after you see a monster?" This was the second time Fiory dealt with a monster with the Scouts but the first time, they had to deal with Andrew finding out about their secret. Also, the fairies were only causing havoc to get the scouts' attention, not to fight.
"We go to Amara, Michelle, and Trista's house. They have the biggest house out of all of us after all."
"It's the only one that can fit us all."
"Fiory, could you teleport us? It would be faster than driving."
"I can't leave my car here so I'll just drive over there with Serena."
"Sure, no problem. See you there." As soon as they got to a secluded area, Fiory teleported the Scouts and himself to the house.
Amara, Michelle, and Trista were waiting for them in the living room. Since they knew that there was an attack, they expected the scouts. As soon as everyone had gathered, the questions started.
"Where was the attack?" Michelle started.
Raye answered, "Hi to you too."
"Sorry. Was it at the amusement park? Weren't the kids having a play date there?"
Darien looked furious. "Yeah and it tried to possess Serena."
"If it wasn't for Darien, it probably would have. It actually got inside me."
"What did Darien do exactly?"
Mina answered her partner. "He used LIGHT, one of the Moon Cards."
Amara seemed to be in thought. "LIGHT's a really strong card too."
"Maybe if Serena's in a situation where she can't use the cards, then Darien can use them because he helped capture the cards." Luna's answered seemed the most plausible.
"We don't know much about the cards. This is all pretty new to us as well because the cards were supposed to be a rumor," Artemis added.
"Amy did you get any data from scanning the vampire?" Trista asked.
"Yeah, it feeds mainly on people with strong energy like us by possessing them. I doubt Serena was the first one either. For humans, it just hypnotizes them and drinks their blood."
"Wow, you got that all from a scan? Your scanner must be pretty powerful or something. I would have never figured all that out in the short amount of time we had. That was amazing."
Amy blushed. "I didn't really do anything."
"Fiory, I can sense you have some strong energy coming from you. I noticed it earlier but didn't say anything because of Andrew," Trista said.
"We heard that you are an alien but can only teleport and talk telepathically. No offense but if that's all you can do, you shouldn't be that strong," Amara said.
"I'm not from around here."
"Where are you from?" Hotaru was curious.
"He doesn't know; he just showed up here on Earth when he was a young alien." Mina just shrugged.
"After Sailor Moon delivered me from the Kassenian Blossom's wrath, I thought I had died but I ended up on this other planet for who knows how long till I came here. The other aliens there became my family."
"Then the Kassenian Blossom wasn't a legend?" Michelle was surprised.
"No, she wasn't. The girls dealt with and defeated her."
"How did you come to Earth though?" The only ones who didn't know Fiory's story of how he came to Earth were the four other Scouts.
"Well, I was a young alien floating through space with no idea who I was or where I was from. Then I felt some positive energy pulling me toward Earth. I remember waking up in the rain with Darien holding an umbrella. Next thing I knew, we had become best friends. When it was time for me to leave, he gave me a flower and I promised to return with the perfect flower. The flower he gave me was a gift from Serena. While I was floating through space, I had found the Kassenian Blossom and then it was all downhill from there."
"What flower did you give to Darien, Serena?"
"I gave him a red rose."
Everyone just nodded.
"Back to the vampire. It only tried to possess Serena and not drink anyone's blood?"
"Maybe it wasn't thirsty or was just looking for a body or something."
"Then it must have been able to sense Serena's power."
"I'm glad I got there on time. Who knows what would've happened if I didn't."
"In your library, I think there was a book that said that vampires get more power from taking blood from someone with power."
"You did some studying, didn't you?" Amy was proud of her friend.
"Hey, if I'm going to become a good scout and leader, I need to know these things." She put her hands on her hips.
Everyone just laughed.
"Trista, I'm going to use the phone to make sure Masanori got to his parents' store safely." Five minutes later, Rini comes back running. "Masanori never made it home! What if something happened to him? What if…?" She started to cry.
("It better not be that vampire.") Serena tried to reassure her daughter. "Don't worry, we'll find him."
"Let's split up and go look for him. Meet up at the arcade in one hour." They decided to meet there because that was where their base was and Andrew can give them access even after hours.
Everyone left the house and started to search the city. An hour later, everyone was at the arcade.
"Anything?" Andrew was waiting for them inside.
Everyone shook their heads. No one had any luck in finding Masanori.
"Looks like you're going to have to use the SHADOW card, Serena," Lita told Serena.
"What's the SHADOW card?" Fiory and Andrew were the only ones out of all of them who didn't know what it was.
"It's a Moon Card. The Moon Cards are cards with special powers of their own when you use them," explained Darien.
"Luna, Artemis, Diana, why don't you three use the computer to search for the clues on the vampire's whereabouts?"
Luna thanked Andrew as they went down to the base.
"Good luck guys," Andrew thought.
After transforming, everyone was ready to go wherever the SHADOW card took them.
"RELEASE! SHADOW! Find Masanori! Rini, you stay here with Hotaru."
"So what do we do? Follow it?"
"No matter where it goes, follow it and don't lose it," Sailor Uranus commanded.
"This way you guys!" Sailor Pluto went outside into an alley and jumps up to the roof with everyone following behind her.
After jumping from roof to roof, fifteen minutes later, the SHADOW card came to a stop in front of a cave hidden deep inside a forest.
("Masanori must be in this cave.") Sailor Moon saw that everyone was thinking the same thing.
Sailor Mercury scanned the cave with her scanner. "I can see Masanori but there's someone else in there with him."
"Another human?"
"I'm not sure. I'm not getting a good reading on the other person."
"Something doesn't feel right. The other presence…it's not human."
"Teleport Rini and Hotaru. We might need their help on this." ("Hotaru, Rini transform. Fiory is going to teleport you two to us.")
"You can feel it too?" Fiory teleported Sailor Saturn and Mini Moon to their location.
("Be careful, Scouts.")
("Don't worry, Luna, we will,") Sailor Venus assured her.
"We're coming, Masanori!" Sailor Mini Moon went inside the cave with the others."Masanori, where are you?"
"So you have come for this human," a familiar eerie voice said.
"You again?!" Fiory, Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, and Venus were all shocked.
("Who is this guy?") Sailor Saturn asked.
("It's the vampire that tried to possess me.")
"So we meet again Sailor Scouts."
Sailor Mini Moon saw Masanori slumped down in a chair made of rock. "Masanori!" She started to go towards him but the others stopped her.
"He cannot hear you."
Sailor Saturn gasped. "He's not…?" Saturn was hoping that he wasn't dead, for Mini Moon's sake.
"No, he's still alive. What do you mean he can't hear us?"
"Give him back to us!" Tuxedo Mask demanded.
The vampire just smirked. ("Arise my servant!")
Masanori slowly woke up and then looked around.
"Oh Masanori, thank goodness you're awake!" Mini Moon was so relieved.
He just looked at her with no expression.
"What did you do to him?!" Neptune was able to tell that Masanori wasn't being himself.
"He is my servant. This boy will obey me and only me."
"Masanori, you have to fight him! Don't let it control you, please!" Sailor Mini Moon begged.
Ignoring Mini Moon's plea, Masanori kneeled in front of the vampire and bowed his head. "I await your order, Master."
"Get rid of them but leave Sailor Moon for me. She's mine."
"Yes, Master."
"Moon Healing Activation!"
Masanori kept coming toward the scouts.
"Your puny powers have no effect on him."
"Try it again, Sailor Moon! Submarine…!"
"Wait, I have an idea."
"What are you thinking Mini Moon?" asked Fiory.
She changed back to her civilian form.
"Mini Moon, what…?" Pluto was confused.
Sailor Moon wasn't. "I think that she may be the only one that can get through to him."
"What is this?" the vampire thought. "Why is that boy's mind reacting to the girl?"
("Do you want me to use the SHIELD card on you?)
("I don't think I'll need it.) "Masanori, it's me! Can you hear me? It's Rini!"
"Ri-ni?"
"That's right. Masanori, you need to listen to me! Fight this! You're being controlled! Let me help you, please!"
He started screaming while holding his head. "Rini, help me! Ahhh!"
"Masanori! What do I do, Sailor Moon?"
("Do you love him?")
("What?")
Sailor Moon wished the situation was different and her daughter wasn't the one confessing anything. ("Tell him. It might break the spell, if his feelings for you are strong enough. You have to say it from the bottom of your heart.")
"I know you can fight this! You're one of the strongest people I've ever known! Please, come back to us; come back to me!"
"Ngh! It's getting stronger!"
"Destroy her! I command you to!"
He hesitated.
"Go!" The vampire regained control of Masanori's mind.
"Yes, Master." He started towards Rini.
"Rini!" everyone shouted.
"Don't worry. He'll do the right thing; I know he won't hurt me."
"How can you be so sure?" Sailor Mars asked.
"Because…" she smiled, "I know he loves me and I love him back. I really, really love him."
Masanori stopped. "Do you mean that, Rini?"
She nodded. "Mhmm, from the bottom of my heart."
Hearing Rini's confession helped Masanori break free from the vampire's mind control. Then he fainted.
"Masanori!" Rini ran to him. "Wake up!"
"No, my servant!"
"Submarine Reflection!"
"No!"
"Go Sailor Moon! Turn it into Moon Dust!" Sailor Venus yelled out.
Sailor Moon nodded. "Right! Moon Princess Elimination!"
The vampire screamed then turned into dust.
"Wow Venus. It literally turned into dust because of what you said," Saturn giggled.
"And I didn't even mean it literally. Sailor Moon, what did you do?"
"It wasn't me!"
("Hurry and bring back the dust to the base!") Luna exclaimed.
("How…?") All of the scouts were surprised.
("We'll explain later; just do it.") Artemis demanded.
Back at the base, Luna was just about to speak when she spotted Masanori. ("Why is Masanori here with you? Couldn't you just take him home?")
"He's unconscious," Tuxedo Mask replied.
("Then the vampire really had him?") Diana seemed surprised.
"Is he going to be okay? He looks really pale."
("What happened? I see bite mark on him. Was he being controlled by the vampire?")
"Yeah we got him out of his control."
("Why is Rini not transformed like the rest of you?")
"I'm the one who got him out of it."
"It was the best way."
("I see.")
("Andrew, is there a way to the roof from the base without us being seen?") Mercury telepathically asked.
Andrew came down to the base. He whispered, "So you guys found Masanori? I came down since there was no one up there. It's weird though because there usually are at least a few people."
"He was with the vampire from earlier."
"Should we take him to a hospital?"
"We might have to but how do we find out his blood type? And how are we going to explain the bite marks to the doctors?" Mars seemed puzzled.
("Rini, stay close to Masanori,") Artemis ordered.
"Let me try something," Venus spoke up. She gave the phone to Rini. "Call his house."
Rini dialed Masanori's house then handed the phone to Venus. "What are you going to do?"
Masanori's mom answered. "Hello Tsuzuki residence."
She went upstairs and came back down five minutes later. "Okay, I found out his blood type."
"Ngh…"
"Hang in there Masanori!" Rini grabbed Masanori's hand.
"His bite marks are disappearing!"
("Diana!") Luna and Artemis shot a look at her.
"She's right! Look, they're disappearing!" ("Rini, transform again.")
("But why, Darien? He already knows who I am.")
("Just listen to what he says, Rini. We might be in trouble again.")
Obeying her parents, Rini transformed again.
"SHIELD!"
"Ri-ni… Ngh… Help...me…
"Why are we just standing here?! He needs to go to a hospital!"
"The doctors wouldn't know what to do since they won't see anything."
"He has color back in his face," Neptune pointed out.
"I'm sensing some unknown energy coming from him and it's not his life energy," Fiory frowned.
"There's no evil energy emitting from him either."
Artemis's head suddenly snapped up. "Could it be?" He looked at Luna.
She caught on to Artemis's thought. "Impossible."
"What is it, you guys?"
"There were once rumors of a long lost prince," Artemis started.
"From where?"
"Earth. I never knew if it was true or not but there were rumors of another kingdom on Earth, a hidden kingdom.
"How is it that I never knew of this?"
Artemis started explaining. "They were living in secret somewhere on Earth where not even you would have known of this kingdom. The king and queen were quite old and never had kids of their own so they had brought an orphan boy into their home and raised him like their own. They gave him a power where his body could heal itself."
"There were also rumors of an evil sorcerer who wanted the power for his own. So the king and queen hid their son's powers inside his body knowing he was in danger and they sent him somewhere far away from the kingdom for safety. After realizing what the king and queen had done, the sorcerer became furious and destroyed the whole kingdom with all the people inside it, including the king and queen."
"The son, who was emotionally connected to the king and queen, knew what had happened and never returned to the kingdom.
"To this day, no one knows what had happened to that prince."
"And you guys think that Masanori could be that prince's descendant?" Uranus looked astounded.
"It is possible. You all saw the bite marks disappear."
"They're not showing up on my scanner either."
"Why don't we wait till he wakes up to be sure?" Neptune suggested.
"He's okay now though, right?"
"Don't worry, Mini Moon. He's just unconscious right now. His pulse is normal too."
Masanori groaned then slowly started to wake up.
By instinct, everyone hid Andrew and Mini Moon.
"How are you feeling?" Mercury asked.
"Where am I?"
"You're safe now," assured Tuxedo Mask. "Do you know what your name is?"
"Masanori Tsuzuki."
Sailor Moon questioned him next. "Do you know what happened to you?"
"I don't remember a lot, just…Rini! Where's Rini?"
"Who's Rini?" Fiory wanted to test him to see if he remembered Rini as Sailor Mini Moon.
"She… She's Sailor Mini Moon."
("So he does remember.") Pluto looked concerned.
"What else do you remember?" Uranus asked next.
"Rini had told me that she loves me."
"Do you love her?"
"To tell you the truth…"
("Why are you asking him that?")
("It's for you and our own curiosity. We don't want you to get your feelings hurt later on.")
"Is she okay? She isn't hurt or anything is she?" Masanori didn't seem bothered by
("Well he obviously cares for her.") "No, she isn't hurt. Please answer Sailor Pluto's question. Do you love her back?"
"Yes, I do," he smiled. "I love her very much. Seeing her smile makes me happy."
("Aren't you glad we asked him now?") Saturn asked her friend.
("Mars, touch the middle of his forehead.")
As soon as Mars touched the middle of Masanori's forehead, a bright light emitted from him.
"Masanori!"
"Hello Sailors." A voice came out of Masanori's mouth but it wasn't his.
"Who are you?"
The voice answered Tuxedo Mask. "I am the lost prince and Masanori is indeed one of my descendants."
"Can we ask what happened to you, Your Highness?" Artemis asked.
"Now is not a good time."
"Does that mean that you are still in danger?"
"Till next time," the prince said, his voice fading into the air.
Masanori regained control of his body. "Rini?"
"I'm right here."
Everyone unhid Andrew and Mini Moon.
"Am I going to be okay?"
"Don't worry; you are going to be fine. You are actually a descendant of a long lost prince."
"I'm still human?"
Mars rolled her eyes at the absurd question. "We all are."
"Can we change back now?" Saturn pleaded.
"Change back to your civilian forms? And the cat…he talked!"
"I guess it's safe enough," Pluto responded.
Chuckling, Andrew said, "This has got to be interesting."
Everyone changed back now that they knew that they were safe.
Hotaru was the first to speak up. "Hiya Masanori!"
"How are you holding up, kid?"
"Give him some space, Amara. He's probably still processing all of this new information."
Amara just laughed.
Shyly, Rini greeted Masanori.
Luna looked at Masanori with serious look on her face. "Masanori, there is something else you must know. You must never tell anyone about our secret and powers or yours."
"How come? Wouldn't the sorcerer have given up by now?"
Answering his partner, Artemis replied, "It's just a precaution. We don't know for sure if he has or not so be careful. He might have a still be alive after all this time or he may have descendant just like the prince."
"How come the guy who works at the arcade knows your secrets?"
"I found out on my own."
"But it's a good thing he knows now." Lita was smiling as she said this.
"What time is it?"
"It's still pretty early. Guess the amusement park and the vampire didn't take as long as we thought."
"You should probably go home, Masanori. Your mom might be worried."
He nodded. "Thank you for helping me. Bye Rini, Hotaru."
Fiory offered to watch Masanori from a distance just in case.
"Good idea. Who knows what else could happen."
"But Masanori has powers now so he can defend himself, can't he?"
"Since we do not know all of his powers, it is possible that he cannot. It's just a precaution."
Hotaru reassured her friend. "Don't worry, Rini. With Fiory watching him, nothing will happen that we won't be able to stop."
"You guys can come back up now. I have to go back to watch the arcade even though it's empty right now." Andrew was sighing. "For some reason, it's totally empty and it's never empty."
"Then we have the arcade to ourselves?" Mina started getting excited.
Amara, who was also getting excited, ran up the steps to the arcade.
Michelle just shook her head in disappointment. "Why do you two always want to race?"
Hotaru's and Rini's faces lit up hearing the word race. "We want to race too!" chimed in Rini.
"It's not the type of race you two are thinking of." Lita smiled at the thought of the two kids racing each other.
"Do you see those racing machines?" Amy said pointing to the racing machines. "Amara and Mina are always on those. Ever since they first met, they would always race each other, every chance they got."
"Mina keeps trying to beat Amara but never does," Serena laughed.
Smirking, Mina dared Serena. "I'd like to see you try and win."
"She'll probably cry when she loses." Raye was always picking on Serena.
"From what I know, you've never taken her on before either, Raye," Darien added.
Lita, Mina and Serena all snickered at Darien's comment.
Raye just glared at the three. "I'm not good at video games."
"You can try though, can't you?"
Everyone but Luna, Artemis, Diana, and Raye laughed.
"Mew?"
Fiory came back in the arcade announcing that Masanori got home safely.
"That's a relief."
Amara and Mina were seated at the machines. "You ready to get creamed again, Mina?"
"Just don't break the machines guys," Andrew said sighing. In the corner of his eye, he saw Luna pushing buttons on the Sailor V game. "Luna, what are you doing?"
"The Sailor V game gives me information and items from the Moon Kingdom."
"This is where you have been getting our items?" After all this time, Serena was shocked that everything came from the Sailor V game. She thought it was just something to help them with information.
"Yeah like the transformers you got when Amy was about to leave for Europe."
"Ugh, Prince Diamond…"
Andrew and Fiory were shocked at Darien's reaction. "Whoa, what's up with you, Darien? You're usually not the jealous type." "Yeah, what's up with that?"
"Well, Serena was kidnapped by a prince named Diamond from the Black Moon Clan who had an advisor called the Wiseman aka the Doom Phantom but he was actually manipulating Prince Diamond so he could destroy Crystal Tokyo, our future," Amy started.
"Then, the Wiseman convinced Rini that we didn't love her and that she would always be alone, which isn't true," Lita added and then winked at Rini.
"This was all before I knew Darien and Serena become my parents in the future. He turned me into the evil Wicked Lady."
"You should have seen their faces when they found out Rini that was their daughter." Amy, Raye, Lita, and Mina started laughing as they recalled that moment.
("Prince Diamond also did something else.")
("What is it?")
("He um…tried to kiss me.")
The four girls couldn't keep the shock in. "WHAAAAAT?!"
"What are you four so shocked about?" Amara asked.
"Prince Diamond…" Lita started.
"...almost…" Amy continued.
("No, don't tell them!")
"...kissed…" Raye said.
("Girls, stop!")
"...Serena!" Mina finished.
"Are you serious?!" Darien looked like he was ready to punch something.
Amara just started laughing.
"This isn't funny, Amara."
"Michelle's right. This is no laughing matter."
After she stopped laughing, she apologized. "I was just laughing because of Darien's response. It's not every day Darien gets jealous."
Serena tried to calm him down. "You can't do anything anyways. He was , remember? Why are you acting like this? This isn't like you! Darien!"
"Darien, are you okay? Amy?" Rini looked at Amy for help.
Amy started to scan Darien. "He's under some kind of jealousy spell!"
"RELEASE!"
"Uh Serena, what are you doing? We are still in public." Andrew looked at the doors to make sure there weren't any customers coming in but instead saw the others locking the doors and turning off the OPEN sign.
"WINDY! BECOME A BINDING CHAIN!"
"Let me go, Serena!"
"I sense people with strong powers coming but not all of them have powers."
"Are they evil or good, Fiory?"
"Good, I hope. Everyone, hide!"
There were voices coming from outside, nearby the arcade.
"Syaoran, which way?" a girl voice asked.
"In this arcade!" the one called Syaoran responded.
"The OPEN sign is off," another girl's voice stated.
The doors rattled. "And the doors are locked," another guy's voice added.
"Not if I can help it!" a third girl's voice shouted.
