AN: This story here isn't an Anti-SM fic like "KR Nova!" This was an earlier story I wrote before I wrote "KR Nova." Still, I thought I might as well show you what it was like.
It was night time in Juuban and the district's shadows was a man running for his life. What he was running from was unknown. The man suddenly stopped to see a spear of blue energy protruding from his chest. The spear retracted and the man fell to the ground with a trail of blood on his lips. After he fell, three beings stood over his body.
Each being wore identical armor over their black bodysuits. Each one had chest plates with silver torso armor to hold it as well as gauntlets and boots on their arms and legs. They all had a hood over their heads with a black visor and a silver mouth guard. The only thing that was different was the colors. The armor on the female was red, as the armors on the males were blue and green.
The green figure turned to the blue figure. "Was that really necessary?"
"Anyone who knows of our existence must be eliminated" the red figure replied for the blue figure.
"Besides," the blue figure added, "it was fun."
The trio turned around to leave. However...
"Hold it right there!"
The three turned to see six girls standing there. They knew who they were. "The Sailor Scouts," the red female figure said, rather bored.
It was the Scouts. There were Sailors, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, and Mini-Moon. "These are the Scouts?" the blue one snorted. "They look ridiculous."
"Prepare to be moondust!" Moon shouted as she lead her and the other Scouts into battle.
A male figure stood there watching the battle. The night covered his features, except for the fact he wore a black trench coat around his body. "So it begins," he said as he opened his jacket revealing a buckle of some sort.
The Scouts were loosing badly and they knew it.
First, the Scouts arrived because they heard about mysterious murders happening throughout the district. However, they didn't expect to see three people kill an innocent. Immediately, they tried to apprehend them so they could get answers, but it didn't turn out as they expected. As soon they fought the hooded trio, they immediately found themselves outmatched. The three hooded figures were swift and deadly. In no time, the Scouts were beaten by their speed and pushed back by their power.
Jupiter and Mars fought against the red hooded figure only for her to beat them using close combat. Jupiter stood up to the red figure, unlike Mars, but she soon was overwhelmed by her. Moon, Venus, and Mini-Moon fought against the green figure, but like Mars and Jupiter, they were overwhelmed by the figure's close combat abilities that prevented from using their long range attacks.
Mercury was left alone to fight the blue figure who had blue energy whips in his hands. One of the whips wrapped around her waist and tossed her to the side. The blue figure with ease was able to swing Mercury onto the concrete ground multiple times. When done, the whips blue figure retracted into his hands as he stared at a broken and bruised Mercury. "Mercury!" Mini-Moon shouted.
The blue one grabbed Mercury by her throat and lifted her feet off of the ground. "Now say goodbye!"
However, before the blue could snap Mercury's neck, a bright flash of light shone from nearby. Immediately, all three figures turned their attention from the Scouts to the light. When the light died down, the Scouts gasped, seeing there stood another figure.
This one looked identical to others, but he wore black armor under his jet black bodysuit. His chest plate a red circle etched onto it. His black gauntlets and boots had white trimmings on the edges. His hood was black, like the mouth guard under the red visor. Also, he happened to have a silver belt around his waist with a white buckle that the symbol of Sagittarius in the center.
"Marks," the red hooded figure snarled.
"So nice of you to remember me," the black figure, Marks, said.
The blue figure released his grip on Mercury, letting her fall to the ground before he immediately charged at Marks. Mercury , once getting her breath back, turned her attention towards Marks. "Azure, don't!" the red one shouted to the blue figure, but it fell on deaf ears.
The blue figure, Azure, threw a punch at Marks only for him to dodge it. Azure once again tried to punch him, but Marks caught it before forcing Azure back with a kick to the stomach. Azure summoned his blue energy whips from his hands and sent them swinging at Marks. Marks rolled out of the way, but the red figure charged at him with a red energy sword in her hands. Marks couldn't avoid the slashes coming from the red figure as he was sent rolling on the ground. Marks supported himself with one knee as he looked at the trio. "Time to get serious", he said as he stood up. A hilt protruded from each of Marks's gauntlets. Marks drew the hilts from his gauntlets and curved silver blades protruded from the hilts, shocking the Scouts. "Bring it," Marks said, taking a stance.
The trio regrouped. Azure and red figure held onto their weapons as the green one summoned a glaive made of green energy. Azure swung his whips at Marks who merely slashed them away as the red and green figures charged towards their adversary. Marks brought his right sword up to black a slash from the red figure as the green figure swung around to Marks's side and charged at him with his glaive. To the green figure's shock, Marks brought his other sword up into time to block it.
The Scouts, meanwhile, watched the battle with awe. "Incredible," Mars said in shock as she watched the fight.
"Do you think we should help him?" Moon asked the others.
"Looks like he has everything under control," Jupiter said, seeing him blocking the blows of the trio.
It was true. Marks was holding up better than all of the Sailor Scouts combined. The trio jumped away from Marks, seeing their futile actions. They thought they could use long-range attacks... they were wrong.
Immediately, Marks put the butt-ends of his weapons, forming into what appeared to be a bow. "This is the end for you", Marks said, aiming his bow at the trio. The trio knew what was to happen. The three immediately turned around and ran for their lives as energy began gather at Marks's bow. "Rain of Shadows," Marks muttered.
The energy formed into a black arrow and was shot towards the trio. Suddenly, the one arrow became a swarm that rained upon the three hooded figures. The red and green ones survived it by rolling out of the way, but Azure didn't as the arrows impaled him. The blue figure immediately erupted into a blaze of smoke.
Once the smoke cleared, Marks looked around for the red and green figures, but found no trace. Marks sighed as he separated the bow and deactivated the blades before putting them into his gauntlets. Then, he turned his attention towards the Scouts. He noticed all of them were bruised and battered, but not as badly as Mercury, who was lying on the ground. He slowly walked towards them. "Stay back!" Mini-Moon shouted, taking a stance with Jupiter, Moon and Mars right behind her.
Marks stopped and looked at them under his helmet. "You know I just saved your lives," he said to. "Wouldn't that make me your ally?"
None of them said anything as Marks walked over to Mercury. She froze in fear as he knelt down and placed two finger on Mercury's neck. There were marks from Azure's grip on her. "Are you alright?" he asked her in a concerned tone.
"Y-yes," Mercury said, blushing a bit.
She heard him sigh in relief. "Good," Marks said. "Can you stand?"
Mercury nodded. "I think so."
He grabbed her arms. "Here, let me help you up."
Mercury, with Marks's help, slowly stood up. However, she lost her balance and found herself resting against Mark's chest. Mercury couldn't help but blush. "Here," Marks said. Seeing as how Mercury lost her balance, he picked her bridal style, making her blush even more. Marks turned to the other Scouts. "Do you have any shelter?" he asked them.
Moon nodded. "Yes."
"Alright let's go," Marks said.
Marks took Mercury back to the Hikawa Shrine. However, before any of them could thanks him, he was already gone. The girls soon healed their wounds with their cats asking them what happened. Ami was left in a separate to rest while the others remained in the main room. The Scouts explained about the hooded figures as well as their savior. Once the Scouts told them who he was, Luna gasped. "His name was Marks?" Luna said. "That's impossible!"
"You know this guy?" Rini asked the two cats.
"Before the fall of the Silver Millennium, a stranger and six beings appeared before Queen Serenity," Artimus explained. "They made a deal with Serenity that they would help protect the Solar System if they provided shelter. The stranger was called Marks while the six beings were called Kamen Shadows."
The Scouts' eyes widen at this. How could someone from long ago still be around? "Could he have been reborn like us?" Serena asked.
"No one knows. Marks and the Kamen Shadows disappeared before the fall of the Silver Millennium," Luna explained.
"This question is if will he become our ally or our enemy," Artemis said.
"That depends," a voice said.
Everyone turned and their eyes widen to see the green figure that attacked them! Immediately, they got their transformation pens, but Marks got in between them and the green figure. "Hold it!" he shouted. "Jade's with me!"
"What are you doing here!" Lita demanded.
"Calm down, first," the green figure, Jade, said. "Sheesh, I thought the Sailor Scouts would be less paranoid."
The girls froze. They knew their identities. This was bad for them.
Before anymore commotion could occur, they all heard footsteps and turned to see Ami walking in. "What is going on?" she said. She then noticed Jade and got out her transformation pen, but stopped when seeing Marks next to him. "What are you doing with him?"
"Long story," Marks sighed. "Best if we explained it inside. May we come in?"
Raye nodded. Jade stared at the two cats. "Hope you don't mind?"
They stared at each other for a second before looking at them. "We don't," Luna said hesitantly.
Marks and Jade entered and sat down in a circle with the Sailor Scouts and the cats. The Scouts kept an eye on Jade, in case if he attacked them. "Alright," Marks said. "It's kind of a complicated story."
"But first, can you show us your identity?" Luna asked.
"Luna!" Serena scolded her.
"It alright," Marks said as he grabbed his belt buckle. "I know yours, you should know mine."
He slid it off and his armor was covered in a silver light that shattered in small shards. In Marks's place was a teenage boy about their age. The boy was Japanese black hair and glasses over the brown eyes. He wore a blue hoodie over his black shirt and brown pants. Ami recognized the boy. "Kenta?"
The other Scouts looked at her. "You know this guy?" Raye asked.
"I met him a couple days ago at school," Ami explained before turning to him. "But why are you Marks?"
Kenta sighed. "Alright, before anyone says anything, my name is Kenta Masao, also known as Kamen Rider Marks," Kenta introduced himself. "The beings that attacked you were the Kamen Shadows that your two cats talked about. They're after me because they believe that they can use my powers to control the world."
"But what about your friend?" Raye said, motioning towards Jade. "Isn't he one of them?"
"I have a name," Jade spat at her. "Unlike the other Shadows, I believe that Marks's powers shouldn't be tampered with. The only thing I could do was to act as a spy."
Everyone froze at the tension. Once the tension between the two eased, it was alright to resume questioning. "How did you get your powers?" Rini asked.
Kenta looked at her. "Well, I was just minding my own business then suddenly I was kidnapped by the Shadows. They turned me into Marks because they needed a host with the Zodiac sign of Sagittarius. Why me though I have no idea since they could have found someone else. Anyhow I escaped with Jade's help and he hid me here. Unfortunately, it seems the others found me."
"So the murders was just a lure," Mina said, receiving a nod from Kenta and Jade.
"And now they know I'm here," Kenta sighed. "I came here to ask for an alliance."
The Scouts' eyes widen at what they heard. This one boy, who defeated three Kamen Shadows, is forming an alliance with the Sailor Scouts, who couldn't defeat one. "We'll help," Ami said immediately.
The other Scouts turned to her. They were surprised by her response. Ami wasn't usually one to be so quick. However, they decided to ignore it and pay attention to Kenta. Kenta smiled. "That's good," he said.
Jade stood as well. "I'd better get going. The Kamen Shadows will probably looking for me."
Kenta nodded. "Be careful."
Jade nodded back before he faded away into the night. With him gone, there was only Kenta left. "So now that we have an alliance, what can you tell us about the Kamen Shadows," Artemis asked.
"Well, there are five, with each Kamen Shadow having a color," Kenta explained. "Aura, the leader, is white, Azure is blue, Amber is yellow, Jade is green, Argent is silver, and Pyre is red."
"But with Azure, gone that leaves five," Ami said, remembering that Kenta destroyed him.
"There's more," Kenta stated. "One of Marks's powers is control shadows..."
Serena interrupted. "Yeah! We saw you do that when you destroyed that Azure guy!"
"... as well as control time," he finished.
Everyone else's eyes widen at this. For one to have the power to control time was an amazing power. "What exactly can you do?" Luna asked.
"Well, I can slow down time, but only for five minutes," Kenta responded. "And from what Jade told me, I can make portals that can send me to another time period, but I haven't had much success in doing so."
The Scouts and their cats looked at each other. What were they to do? This guy has amazing powers that exceed their own, and could defeat them easily. "Can you wait outside for a minute?" Raye asked. "We'll need some time to discuss this."
Kenta nodded as he stood up and left the room. Ami's eyes focused on Kenta as he left. There was something strange she felt about him. She wasn't sure what it was, but felt it had something to do with the Silver Millennium. "Ami?" Serena said, breaking her thoughts.
"Yes?" Ami turned her head to face the others.
Seemed like for now, she couldn't afford to think about that.
Kenta stood in the backyard of the Hikawa Shrine. He had been waiting a while for the Scouts to finish their talk. It was obvious that they didn't trust him that much because of his powers. However, he had to make an alliance to stop the Kamen Shadows. He hoped that they would help him. "Kenta," a voice greeted him.
He turned around to see Ami. "Hey Ami", he said. "What's on your mind?"
Ami said nothing as he walked up to his side. "I've been wondering," she began, "Do you every get this strange feeling that you've done this sort of this before?"
He shook his head. "No. I don't."
"Well, you see the Sailor Scouts are the reincarnations of the Planetary Princesses," Ami explained.
He understood what she meant. "Ah, you mean from the Silver Millennium," Kenta said.
Ami looked at him in shock. "How do you know?"
"Jade told me all about it," he replied.
"Anyway, each of us has vague memories of our past life," Ami explained. "For some reason, when I'm around you, I get this feeling that I should know you."
Kenta looked at the ground, pondering. "It's possible that I could have been in the Silver Millennium. It would also explain why the Kamen Shadows chose me as a host instead of someone else."
There was a silence between the two. "Hey Kenta, what are you going to do after the Kamen Shadows are taken care of?" Ami asked.
Kenta shrugged. "I don't know." He looked at her. "I guess we'll see what the future may bring."
Before Ami could continue, Luna happened to call to her. "Ami, the others want you inside!"
Ami turned around and nodded to Luna. "I'll be there in a minute."
She then turned around and walked right inside. Kenta watched her go inside before turning his attention to Luna, who was still at the door. "You need something?" he asked as Luna walked next to him.
"How did you meet Ami?" Luna asked.
"Well, I was going through the school, looking for my classes," Kenta said. "I kind of got lost and I bumped into Ami. She then helped me get to my classes and we've been seeing each other a lot."
Luna quirked an eyebrow. "What do you think of Ami?"
"Well she's smart," he said, mentioning, "as well as beautiful." Now he was blushing.
"Do you know anything about Ami's life during the Silver Millennium?"
Kenta shrugged. "I only know she was the Princess of Mercury and was killed in the final battle."
Luna nodded. "Alright, I was just wondering."
After saying that, Luna entered the Hikawa Shrine. Kenta stood there wondering why Luna was asking about his knowledge of Ami's past life. Maybe there was a connection between Marks and Mercury. 'Could have Marks and the Mercury Princess been friends?' Kenta pondered. 'Maybe even lovers?' He shooed away the thought. He had no idea where that came from.
Despite all his thoughts towards it, he knew he had to focus on the tasks at hand. The Kamen Shadows knew he was here in Juuban. Sooner or later they will find him... and when they do, he'll have to be prepared.
