Finally I could finish my next chapter. It was hard, because I had to work a lot.
Meanwhile, hope you still enjoy it.
Queen Beryl approaches slowly of the transparent coffins of Kunzite, Zoicite, Nefrite and Jadeite. She sees them getting up slowly.
When both of them put their feet on the floor, she approaches even more of them and points her stick.
- I see that you´ve recovered your energy. You should thank me and Queen Metalia for that. Without our help you'll be death already - she says, pointing her stick.
- Of course, your Majesty. We are eternally grateful to you - says Kunzite on his knees. His partners followed his example.
- Very well! Is time to go back to work. We still need to get energy for Queen Metalia while we don't find the silver crystal. You own her your life after this.
- Yes, your Majesty.
After that Queen Beryl walks away and all of them get up from the floor. Zoicite is the first to speak.
- Do you know what happened before all of this? I'm not remembering anything.
- Yeh! I just remember that were doing a mission in a restaurante. But I'm not remembering what happened - says Jadeite.
- Neither I - says Nefrite.
- Thats not important now - decides Kunzite, making them shut up - Now we need to go back to work. Zoicite, you'll be responsible for this mission.
- Yes, boss - he accepts.
- Now, hurry up! We need to start getting energy immediately. Jadeite will prepare your demon and Nefrite will continue his search for the silver crystal.
It was in the middle of the night that Luna approached of the Game Center. She notices there´s nobody there like it was supposed, and she gets in from one of the smallest and highest windows. Then she jumps to one of the Game Machines and presses a button. She sees the screen turning on and she says a code that turns it completely blue.
- Did you already find the princess? - says the male voice coming from the screen.
- No! Unfortunattely I don´t have any clue! - says Luna.
- How is Sailor Moon improving?
- Well... she is improving, without any doubs...
- Any problem? - asks the voice, noticing the hesitation in Luna´s voice.
- Well! Its just she is not improving faster just like I wanted. And there isn´t exactly a strong point of her that I can highlight. In a few words, she still has to much to improve.
- Now there is nothing to do. Don't forget that you chose her based in your own instincts.
- Yes, of course! - Luna accepts - But lately I've been curious about one person in particular - Luna presses some buttons and makes appear the photo of a girl with short blue hair - It is this girl. I´ve been feeling a strange energy coming from her.
- Keep investigating her and don´t let her out of your sight! We don't know if she is an enemy.
- Very well!
The auditorium was full of students and teachers that were seeing the Merit Award Ceremony. In that moment were being recognized and awarded the best students of that school.
- Umino! - calls Miss Haruna, the one who was delivering the awards.
Umino gets up from his chair and walks to his teacher. He receives the prize of the second best student and everyone applauds him. After that, he sits again in his chair.
- Ami Mizuno! - they hear the teacher calling again.
Everyone sees a girl with short blue hair walking to Miss Haruna and receiving the prize of the first best student.
- Is incredible how this girl could win this prize with a perfect average of 100% - says Usagi with wide opened eyes - How can she do it?
- For what I´ve heard she is an expert in all the subjects and she passed with a 100% in all the exams - says Naru, with the same impression as Usagi - I also heard that she helps the school with many projects and many discoveries - explains Naru - She also passes many hours in the study room because she gives tutorial classes.
- Well! Somedays ago I saw her from a window in a class and solving an equation at an incredible speed - explains Usagi - But how can she do it? I believe for that she needs to study for many hours. Doesn't she has any social life?
- Well! It doesn't look so. She is always alone and always studying - explains Naru - You could try a tutorial class with her - she suggests, remembering suddently of that - After all nobody asks for her help when she is in the study room.
- For God´s sake, no! - says Usagi suddently - I already have my tutor, just like you know. I´ve nothing against Ami, but I don´t wanna have a second tutor and neither I wanna change - decides Usagi - But why nobody asks for her help?
- Because everyone finds her somekind of weird. She is not social and looks like she has to much self confidence.
After that explanation, Usagi looks to Ami with curiosity.
- Really? It doesn´t look so. She looks so calm and simple - says Usagi.
While that Luna was watching carefully Ami from an outside tree.
Zoicite was in the backoffice of that room and seeing his "prey" preparing the tables with computers for her students.
She was the informatic teacher of that class and, in that moment, she was leaving over each table the list of tasks for her students.
When Zoicite found her he discovered that she was not only the most important teacher of that class, but she was also a computer expert, someone who irradiates a lot of energy. And since all her students were also computer experts, all of them were also potential "preys". Like that, Zoicite was working on a plan to get the energy from both teacher and students.
From that point, he could see the bedge on her t-shirt with her name, that was influencing all of them.
In that moment, one of her students appeared in there.
- Take this panflets and share them around the street - she demands to them, with a wicked smile.
- Yes, teacher! - he accepts with the same wicked smile.
The Cerimony finished and everyone was leaving the school. Umino was leaving followed by Usagi and Naru who were walking next to him.
- Congratulations, Umino! You are officially one of the best students of our school! Is the second time that you win a prize. Thats something very important - says Naru.
- Yeh! And don´t forget when you said we´re your motivations. You know what that means, right... - says Usagi, noticing that he wasn´t walking next to them anymore.
They turned back and saw him looking to the front door, like if he was waiting for someone.
- What are you doing? - asks Usagi.
- I´m waiting for Ami to come out. I need to investigate her - he says, adjusting his glasses.
- Why?
- I need to figure out what kind of creature she is. I believe she isn´t someone from Earth. Our teachers say that she is a phenomenon of our school because she learns everything at an incredible speed.
- That is ridiculous. Stop with this nonsense! - says Usagi, grabbing him by his collar from behind - You are just with jealous because she won the first prize and you don´t. You passed all the time complaining about that and you shouldn´t. What is your problem with the second prize? Is still a big honor and doesn´t make you someone less interesting.
Naru approaches of them.
- Come on, Umino! You already won a prize that is worthy to celebrate. You don´t need to envy others - says Naru in a calmer way.
- And since we were your motivations, you are going to celebrate it with us tomorrow - says Usagi, dragging Umino by the collar until the exit - You own us a pizza.
- WHAT? - he exclaimed while being dragged - Please, don´t. I don´t have all that money - he begged.
Usagi and Naru laughed at each other with his reaction.
- Don´t worry. We´ll help you. You´ll not pay everything alone - says Usagi, still laughing.
- Thank goodness! - he says with relief - Please, don´t scare me like that anymore. I´m to much sensible.
The girls laughed again. Then Naru stopped and turned to Usagi.
- I´ve to go now. See you tomorrow, Usagi?
- See you tomorrow, Naru. Don´t forget our pizza´s time tomorrow - says Usagi with a big smile.
Both Naru and Umino follow in the same direction while Usagi was following other.
She was about to pass again in front of the school´s gate when she saw Ami leaving.
Usagi was walking casually behind of her by the street and observing her. She could see that Ami looked relaxed and calm. Usagi could only think that Ami had all the reasons to feel relaxed. Beeing so brilliant and being so succesful in school, she doesn't need to worry about anything or being scolted by anyone.
Usagi already accepted herself a long time ago, but she couldn´t stop thinking that if she was so brilliant like Ami her life would be easier.
Suddently Usagi sees Luna jumping from tree to tree right next to her. Then she stops over one bench in particular and stays there looking to Ami.
"What the hell are you doing?" - thinks Usagi, observing Luna.
Then Luna jumps from the bench to Ami´s shoulder, leaving Usagi even more surprised and confused.
" This is a fact. I can feel a strong energy" - thinks Luna, but her thoughts are stopped when she feels Ami caressing her cheek.
- You are so cute. I wish I had a kitty like you - she says in a soft way.
Seeing everything, Usagi approaches of them.
- Luna, come here - she calls her.
Then Luna runs in Usagi´s direction and she leans in her shoulder. Then Ami approaches of them.
- Hello! Is that cat yours? - she asks simply.
- Yes, she is. Her name is Luna. Sorry that she appeared just like that.
- Thats ok. She is very cute. I liked her.
- Thank you - says Usagi with a soft smile.
- If I remember well we are from the same school, aren´t we?
- Thats right. My name is Usagi Tsukino.
- And I´m Ami Mizuno.
- I know. I was in the Cerimony today. Congratulations for the prize. You deserve it.
- Thank you.
Both continue their talking walking side by side.
- How can you do it? Having good grades in everything? It looks so easy for you - dares Usagi to ask.
- I don´t know. I just study a lot. Is like a hobby to me.
- Well, I admire you. Studying is still something far of being like a hobby to me - says Usagi with big eyes.
Ami laughts lightly of her comment and Usagi gets impressed with that.
- You are so beautiful when you laugh. I always saw you so serious in school. You need to laugh more.
Ami turns her face.
- Thank you - she says with shyness.
- You know what? I think you need to have some fun. Did you ever went to the Game Center?
- Well, I know where it is, but I never went there.
- Then this is your chance. Lets go!
Usagi grabs Ami lightly by her wrist and guides her by the street. Soon they arrive to the Game Center. When they get in Motoki approaches of them.
- Hello, Usagi! Nice to see you again. And I see you bhrought a new friend here - he says, sounding gentle as always.
- Hi, Motoki - greets him Usagi like always - Thats true. This is Ami Mizuno. The most brilliant student of my school - she says with proud.
- I see. So this is the student who won the first prize of your school - says Motoki with good impression - Its a honor to meet you, Ami.
- T... Thank you! - says Ami with shyness again.
- I´m gonna show Ami our famous Sailor V game. Can you bring me a milkshake? - asks Usagi - Do you wanna drink something, Ami?
- I don´t need. Thank you!
- Very well! - agrees Motoki - Please, Ami. Make yourself comfortable.
When Motoki left the room, Usagi showed Ami one of the game machines.
- This is the so famous Sailor V game. I find her so incredible and fantastic - says Usagi talking wildly about her idol - Do you try it?
- Well... I can try, yes - says Ami with curiosity.
Usagi was about to explain her all the details of the game, when she saw her completely focus and playing Sailor V game without problems and winning all the time.
" Oh, my God! Is she a genious with games too? " - thinks Usagi, completely shocked. Luna was also seeing Ami playing with the same expression of Usagi.
Motoki approaches of them with the milkshake, and just like Usagi, he stopped in there completely shocked, observing Ami playing. Without they notice, everyone in the Game Center approaches of them to see Ami playing.
After some time, is Ami the one who ends suddently her concentration in the game:
- Oh, I forgot. I´ve now my computer class - she says, getting up immediately from the game machine.
She passes by the crowd that was surrounding her and Usagi follows her until the street.
- Sorry! I didn´t know you had classes now - says Usagi.
- Thats ok. I´m the one who forgot. And I shouldn´t because is a regular class.
- Regular? You mean... You´ve computer classes every single day?
- Yes, I´ve - confirms Ami - You see, Usagi. I don´t have anything else to do.
- Well! My admiration for you increases every single minute. I admire you for all your patience to study - she says, with her hand in the forehead.
Ami laughs lightly again.
- Thank you, Usagi. See ya!
- See ya, Ami!
When Ami leaves, Usagi sees Luna approaching of her, holding a pen in her mouth.
- Usagi, this pen felt from Ami schoolbag - she says - I think we should investigate it, since she can be an enemy.
- What? Thats why you´re after her? - asks Usagi.
- Yes. Since the moment I saw her, that I feel a strange energy coming from her.
- Luna, you saw how nice she is. I don´t believe someone like Ami can be an enemy. Don´t you think that all that energy you feel is because she is someone extremelly inteligent? - suggests Usagi.
- Yes. That can be an option. Gifted persons and intelligent persons can irradiate a lot of energy. But the one that I feel from Ami is to much. We need to keep an eye on her.
- Luna, I think you´re exagerating. I´m gonna take this pen to return it later - says Usagi, keeping it in her schoolbag - I´ve to go now. I´m late for my climbing class with Mamoru.
- Usagi, this is serious. Ami can be someone we don´t know and that pen probably can give us that answer - insists Luna.
- Alright! I see that later - she accepts, still not believing - But now I´ve to go.
Usagi runs from there and Luna follows her.
When Ami arrives to her class she sits in front of her computer. She sees the list of their tasks over her table and sees that today their class was about essentially studying the new Sailor Moon App. Meanwhile, her teacher was in the backoffice with Zoicite, and both were watching the students, especially Ami.
- This girl is my best student - she says to Zoicite - She is an expert in everything and my best "candidate".
- Good. Make sure you focus in taking her energy in first place. The best ones are those we need to focus first since their energy is garanteed - says Zoicite.
- Of course, Zoicite.
After that, Zoicite disappears from there.
Ami was touching inside of her shcoolbag, looking for her pen, but then she notices it wasn´t there.
- Strange. I don´t find my pen here - she says to herself - But thats ok. I don´t use it so that much. Everytime I use it, I get out of here with a big headache.
Meanwhile, their teacher approaches of them and says:
- Alright, everyone. Lets start our class. Don´t forget to use the pen I gave you. Is very important for your progress.
Ami was listening her, just like the others, and thinking:
" How can this pen help us with that if is only used to save our works and to give us a headache " - she thinks to herself, seeing her classemates suffering in silence with the headaches they were feeling in that moment, while they were using their pens - "That pen must have any manufacturing defect. I need to talk with our teacher in the end".
In the Climging Center, Usagi was climbing down the wall and joins Mamoru that was already waiting for her in the floor. When she puts her feeth in the floor, she feels all the relief passing by her body. Both decided to go there in that day because Usagi had a 80% in an examn, the best grade she ever had. Because of that, Mamoru asked her if she prefered to go to the Climbing Center to practice instead of study in his apartment. Usagi immediately agreed with that, thinking it would be a relief to not study in that day. Now she was regretting completely of her decision, because climbing was resulting beeing much harder than study, and she didn´t think about that before.
- Gosh! What the hell was I thinking when I agreed with this! - she complains, completely puffy - Like this I´m gonna die today.
- Come one, Odango Atama! What doesn´t kill you makes you stronger. And is that what climbing is doing to you - says Mamoru, passing a hand by her head in a joking way.
- Can you tell me at least how was I going? - she asks, adjusting the hair that he messed up with his hand.
- Slow...! - he starts -... And perceptive.
- Gosh! You always say that. I can´t climb faster. You already know that.
- Yes, and that is a good thing. Climbing is not to be made in a faster way, but with careful and perspicacity, just like you did.
- Oh! - she says, thinking better in his words - Thank you!
Both sit down in the concret and they drink some water.
- How was the Merit Award Ceremony?
- It was great. Ami Mizuno is again the best student of my school.
- Hmm! I think I already heard that name in the hospital.
- Really?
- Yes. I think she already worked in some projects in there.
- Thats interesting. And doesn´t suprise me at all. She is a big genious - she says, drinking more water - Everyone was saying she had to much self confidence. But I met her and I discovered that was not true. She is very nice.
- Thats because many people have envy of persons like her. And because of that, they try to find their uglyness - he explains - But for what you told me, I see you already became her friend.
- Yes! And I´m very glad that I did - she explains.
- I think that will be good for her too - he says - It doesn´t seems she has many friends and it will be good for her to have you by her side.
Even if Mamoru was talking in his usual serious way, Usagi could feel the faith he was putting on her.
- Thank you for saying that, Mamoru.
He passed again a hand by her head and she had to adjust her hair again. Meanwhile, some teenagers appear in there with flyers in their hands.
- Hi, everyone. The inscriptions for the best Computers Class in our town are opened - they were saying with euphory, showing the flyers - Don´t lose this chance.
- I think that is the class where Ami goes every afternoon - says Usagi.
- These guys are everywhere nowadays - says Mamoru, clearly not happy.
- What do you mean? - she asks.
- They are doing a lot of publicity to this class everywhere. In the street, in the Game Center, in the hospital... - he explains - They are completely crazy and euphoric.
Then, one of those guys approaches of them and shows them a flyer.
- Hi. Do you wanna become a computer expert? - he asks with a big smile - Don´t lose this change and come to our classes.
- Thank you, but I´m not interested - says Usagi simply.
- Neither I - says Mamoru.
- Come on! You´ll love it. You can try one class for free and then you decide if you wanna continue.
- Thank you, but I decided that I already have enough of classes after classes - she insists in the same simple way.
- Look, miss! You must try this class. You´ll not feel complete if you don´try it - he insists, approaching of Usagi even more and extending her a flyer - Go to our class tomorrow and then you decide.
Mamoru puts himself between them.
- Sorry, but we already said "no" - he says with firmness - And we´ve to go now! We already finished our class here.
He rests a hand over Usagi shoulder and they follow until the changing room, where they separate from each other.
After they change of clothes, Usagi and Mamoru walk together to the outside. They say goodbuy to each other and they follow in different directions.
Meanwhile, Luna appears in front of Usagi with Ami´s pen. She knew that Luna was all the time in there, seeing her climbing class.
- Don´t forget that we still need to check this pen. Those guys from Ami´s computer class that appeared in there, I felt a negative energy emanating from them. I believe they are over the control of the enemy - says Luna.
- Alright, Luna! I already felt that the enemy is behind of this - accepts Usagi, remembering the weird attitudes of those guys- But don´t you think that Ami can be someone over the controll of the enemy, and not the enemy? - suggests Usagi with hope in her words.
- Yes, it is possible. You are thinking well, Usagi - admits Luna - But for us to know that, we need to check that pen.
They both go to the library that was near of that place. When they see the most discreet computer around there, they turn it on and insert the pen. They see it was filled with many works of Ami.
- It looks like these are normal school matters. Its filled with powerpoints and doccuments that she keeps here. I don´t see anything that... - Usagi starts feeling dizzy and falls with her head over the desk.
Luna takes immediately the pen from the USB input and shakes Usagi´s head.
- Usagi, wake up! - insists Luna.
Usagi recoveres slowly her conscience.
- What... happenend? My head hurts - she asks with a hand in her forehead.
- It was the pen. It was taking your energy. And I believe is manipulating and stealing the energy of those who use it in that class. We need to go there immediately.
Both of them run from there.
Everyone starts feeling weak and fainting over the table. Ami was seeing confused all her classemates falling asleep over the keyboard.
- But... what is happening? - she asks to herself.
Then she hears her teacher laughing in the backoffice and goes check. Looking there from the door, she sees her teacher with her hands opened and "holding" in the air what looked like a brilliant cloud. She laughes again, seeing the "cloud" growing even more.
- I never though these bratts were so useful. The energy that my pens are taking from them is so powerful! - she says with wide opened eyes.
Hearing that, Ami runs to the switchboard. Then she presses the general button to turn off the entire electricity and all the computers stop working and stop of stealing the energy of everyone.
- Hey! What happened? - says her teacher, seeing the lights turning off.
She runs to the classroom and sees Ami in front of the switchboard. Her face twiches completely when she sees her, because she understood that Ami was aware of her intentions in there.
- I heard everything. You´ll not gonna hurt my colleagues anymore.
- You should have used my pen. Now your death will be much more painful then what I had planned for you and your classemates.
The teacher´s bedge starts shining and appears from there the demon that was controlling her, showing her horrendous true form. Meanwhile, the teacher faints with exhaustion.
Ami looks shocked to the horrible figure in front of her.
Usagi and Luna arrive to the address that was indicated in Google Maps and where was Ami having classes. As soon as they arrive, they hear a scream coming from the upper floor and they run to there. When they arrive, they see the demon grabbing Ami by her head and pressing her against the table.
- I´ll not let go sush a strong energy like yours. You´ve the brain of a genious and that makes you our biggest target.
Usagi and Luna were seeing everything from the glass of the door, completely horrified.
- Oh, no! We´ve to save her! - exclaims Usagi - You see, Luna. Ami is not the enemy just like you though.
- Its strange, but you´ve right. Transform yourself!
- Yes! MOON PRISM POWER! MAKE UP!
After her transformation, Sailor Moon opens the door faster with her kick. The demon stares at her with confusion. Ami also stares at her, even with a big effort due to the fact that was being grabbed by the demon.
- Who the hell are you? - asks the demon.
- I won´t allow you to attack these genious students. Their minds are a blessing to our world. I´m Sailor Moon. The Sailor of Love and Justice. In the name of the moon, I´ll punish you.
The demon snaps its fingers and all the students lying over the tables start getting up with an evil look. Then they start walking in Sailor Moon direction. She didn´t lose time and touched her tiara.
- MOON TIARA STARDUST!
Her tiara flights over their heads dropping a golden dust, and then they faint after that.
- You don´t control them anymore. Now let Ami go! - demands Sailor Moon.
With an evil smile, the demon throws her a set of papers that throws her against the wall and leave her stuck in there with all those papers around her. Then the demon snaps its fingers again and all his slaves get up again.
- What the hell is happening? - says Sailor Moon in panick.
- My controll over these bratts is stronger than you think. Now you can´t do nothing against them. You´ll suffer a slow death in their hands, and meanwhile you´ll see how I kill this friend of yours - it says, pointing to Ami.
- NO! STOP! - begs Sailor Moon.
Then she sees the zombies students walking to her again, what increases even more her panick. Meanwhile, the demon approaches Ami´s face to the PC.
- Now, lets take all that precious energy of yours - it says, leaning even more Ami´s face to the PC. But to his surprise he sees nothing happening - What? Why can´t I take your energy? Did you ever used my pen before?
- No... I never used it - admits Ami, struggling - We must avoid machines´s help the most we can - she defends.
- CURSE YOU... - yells the demon, throwing her to the ground. - IN THAT CASE, I´M GONNA TAKE YOUR BRAIN - he decides, transforming its hand into an axe.
- NO, AMI! - screams Sailor Moon, not being able to get ride of those papers that were leaving her stuck to the wall. Meanwhile, and against her will, Sailor Moon had to kick an attacker since she only had a foot free to defend herself.
Ami sees in shock the axe in front of her, but she could deviate from the blow. Then she gets up with determination and a symbol shines suddently in her forehead, making the demon stop the next blow.
- What is that? - he asks confused.
- Thats it! - says Luna, staring at the symbol - How couldn´t I think about that. All that strange energy was of a Sailor warrior.
Then Luna makes a looping in the air and makes appear a blue pen with the same symbol that appeared in Ami´s forehead. Meanwhile, Ami avoids another blow from the demon.
- AMI, TAKE THIS! - says Luna, throwing the pen in her direction, what she grabs immediately - Now say! "Mercury Power Make-up!"
Seeing the demon about to attack her again, Ami put all her trust in Luna´s words and says with determination:
- "MERCURY POWER MAKE-UP!" - she transforms in Sailor Mercury.
Both Usagi and Luna look surprised to Ami after her transformation.
- Ami! - exclaims Usagi.
- Ami, you are now the warrior Sailor Mercury - says Luna - Now say " Shabon Spray"!
- Alright! - accepts Ami - "SHABON SPRAY "
A fog of shabon cames out from Ami´s hands and arms, and spreads by the entire room.
- What is happening? I can´t see anything - says the demon in frustration, looking everywhere in vain.
Because of that, the demon lost its concentration, making it also lose the control over its slaves who faint again, all of them of one centimeter of touching Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon also feels the papers around her starting to lose its firmness and she takes advantage to get ride of them. Luna joins her and helps her to tear the papers with her claws.
- Sailor Moon. Its your turn! - says Luna, seeing the fog starting to disappear and showing the demon silluete without him seeing them.
- Right! - she says, touching her tiara - MOON TIARA ACTION!
The demon disappears in a cloud of dust.
Meanwhile, Sailor Moon and Luna approaches of Sailor Mercury.
- So Ami is also a Sailor? - asks Sailor Moon.
- Yes, she is! - confirms Luna - She is the Sailor of knowledge, Sailor Mercury. She is your partner now, Sailor Moon!
- Thats incredible.
Ami smiles to them with shyness.
Both Ami and Usagi reunite in the outside in an alley.
- What a surprise to know that you´re Sailor Moon - says Ami - I thought it was just a game.
Usagi laughs with her comment.
- Believe me. Even for me is still hard to believe in all of this, especially that a talking cat appeared in my life.
- Very funny! - says Luna, showing her tongue to her - But I´m so happy to find you, Ami. I´m pretty sure you´ll be a very good Sailor.
- You could start first apologising for thinking that she was the enemy, Luna. Now you see that not all the strange energies you feel are all from demons - teases her Usagi again.
- Like if you know anything about that - says Luna, showing her tongue again - But Usagi has right. Sorry for confusing you with the enemy, Ami.
- Thats alright! I´m not mad - she says with gentleness.
- Its so good to have you by our side - says Usagi, grabbing her hand.
- Thank you! We are gonna unite forces to beat the enemies.
- Thats right! - agrees Usagi - " I hope being able to follow her. She looks better than me " - she couldn´t avoid that brief though.
