Episode Two by Morino Keitora [MesseswithHeads@aol.com] http://www.geocities.com/morinokeitora “Goodbye, Sailor Moon!!” Mitsuki was inches away from slashing Sailor Moon’s head. Sailor Moon shielded her face by covering it with her arms. “Wrath of Nature!” Mitsuki’s arm was held back by a couple of vines. Sailor Moon opened her arms a little to see A girl in a white fuku. “Get away from here!” Sailor Moon quickly ran away. Three others jumped down from the trees, and one with ice blue hair pressed something on her left wrist. A sword started to come out of it. “Good job Sailor Star Earth. Now I’ll finish her.” She raised her sword and jumped to kill Mitsuki. “No!!!!” Sailor Moon ran and pulled Mitsuki towards her. The senshi’s sword hit the ground and made a big scratch. “That wasn’t very smart of you Sailor Moon. You could have died that way.” “That doesn’t matter. You can’t come here out of no where and decide to kill a person who’s been attacked. She’s the class president of this school and she has a responsibility.” “As do you Sailor Moon. Your responsibility is to protect this world of monsters and evils.” The girl with the icy blue hair gave a stern look that seemed disappointed. “You are weak and if you keep up this personality of trying to see the good in everyone, you will lead yourself and your senshi into a bloody death.” Sailor Star Earth glared at her. Sailor Moon looked down at Mitsuki. Her eyes were filling with tears. “Who do you think you are?” Mars asked. “you can’t talk to her like that.” Sailor Jupiter looked pissed “You’re wrong. Everyone has good in them, and I’ll save anyone who is turned evil and destroy those who try to stop me.” Sailor Moon’s brooch started to glow and she changed into Princess Serenity. “As princess of the moon, I’ll heal those who are evil.” A new staff appeared and she looked up in determination. “Moon Princess Light of Love!!!” She spun the staff above her head and pointed it at Mitsuki. Mitsuki elevated a couple of inches, and in a matter of seconds, she changed back to her uniform and her face returned to a peachy color. She landed back on the ground and was in a sleeping position. “She’ll wake up in a few minutes. Now who are you?” Sailor Moon demanded to know. “I am Sailor Star Wind.” The icy blue haired girl said. “I’m Sailor Star Fire.” The girl with purple hair and red highlights spoke. “I’m Sailor Star Earth.” A girl with sandy blond hair spoke. “I’m Sailor Star Water.” The girl with purple hair and blue highlights spoke. “We are the Sailor Star Wings.” “Sailor Star Wings?” Sailor Venus looked stunned. “If you’re senshi, then you must be our allies.” Sailor Moon said with a smile she stepped forward to greet them, but Sailor Star Wind stopped her with her hand. “I believe you’re mistaken, Sailor Moon. We did not come here to help you or for you to help us. We came here to do our own mission and we would appreciate it very much if you didn’t get in our way.” Sailor Star Wind stopped her from coming any closer with a raise of her hand. “I’m sure I can help if you just let us.” Sailor Venus stepped forward with a clenched fist. “I’m afraid that isn’t possible.” Sailor Star Earth replied. “Then I’m afraid we’ll have to make you let us help!” Sailor Mars said. “Mars, Flame-” “Do not attempt to use your attacks, because it will have very little affect.” Sailor Star Fire said. “Then we’ll have to take our chances.” Sailor Jupiter said, joining Sailor Mars. “If that is the way you want it, then we’ll have to teach you not to get in our way.” Sailor Star Water said, getting ready to attack. Sailor Star Wind cut her off. “No. Our honor as the Sailor Star Elements would be ruined if we fight other senshi of any kind. Besides, it isn’t fair that we have an advantage over them.” “Advantage?” Sailor Mercury asked. “Yes. We have the strongest attacks in every universe and galaxy, with the exception of Sailor Moon, Galaxia, Saturn, and our queen.” “Your queen?” Sailor Moon asked. “Yes. She was destined to rule the galaxy of the zodiacs, but when her time to rule came, she was nowhere to be found. That is why we are here. We are trying to collect all the Rainbow Crescent Souls of the Zodiac to find her.” “If you are trying to find your queen, we can most definitely help.” “We know you helped Seiya and the rest of the Three Lights find Princess Kakyuu, but ours is a much more difficult task.” Sailor Star Wind explained. The Sailor Senshis’ eyes widened at their knowledge of the Starlights. “You know about the Sailor Starlights?” Sailor Mars asked. “Of course. We know about everyone. The Negaverse, Mistress 9, Pharaoh 90, Amazon Trio, Quartet, Nehlenia, and Galaxia. We know about them all.” Sailor Star Fire said. “If you knew, why didn’t you help us fight them?” Sailor Jupiter said, who looked pissed. “It wasn’t our job. You were to battle and gain experience on your own. Although you had the Starlights to help you, it was only because you Sailor Senshi wanted to continuously help them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have become your allies.” Sailor Star Water said. “That isn’t true!” Sailor Mars yelled. “Believe it. I’m sorry that you can’t handle that.” Sailor Star Water said. “This your first warning. If you fail to follow directions, we’ll have no choice but to put it into our own hands.” Sailor Star Wind. “Please, let us help.” Sailor Moon begged with her hands together. “We have warned you and have told you the consequences. Don’t make us ruin our honor by having us destroy you. Sayonara.” Sailor Star Earth said. The four senshi jumped into the trees and disappeared. “They are so stubborn.” Sailor Venus said. “Just like the rest of them.” Sailor Jupiter said. [Zoom out and go black to next scene.] * * * * “Your majesty, I have important news about Sasoriza’s work.” A man with jet black hair and cold hazel eyes spoke. He was looking at a woman who was sitting on her throne. She had long silver hair put into two ponytails, the top looking like meatballs. There were loose strands on her head, which were left alone. The meatballs were tied up with silk green ribbons that looked like snakes. She wore a long gown that was dark purple in color. On the gown was a red snake wrapping around her as a design. She had her legs over an arm of the throne and her head rested against the other. Her head faced the wall and she remained quiet and still. “Your majesty?” The man repeated. The man walked towards her and was about to tap her when, she let out a yawn (tear-drop time!) and hit the man’s face while stretching her arms. “Onidorei! What are you doing here?” She had a large smile on her face and her large green eyes were dancing from excitement. “Well I’ve come to see my future wife.” The young woman gave out a bunch a giggles and blushed a bright red color. “You haven’t even officially proposed. Do you really love me?” She turned to sit properly on her throne and put her hands in her lap, looking like a child waiting for a present. “Of course I really love you. The real reason I came here though is to tell you of Sasoriza’s success. It seems that he’s failed to find a real Rainbow Crescent soul.” “So what? It’s his first time. Let him go for now.” “I also have that he has encountered the Sailor Star Wings, and the Sailor Senshi of this universe. The leader of these two groups are Sailor Star Wind, and Sailor Moon, who is known to also be Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom.” “Princess Serenity? Of the moon?” She clutched the ends of the chair’s arm. Damn her. This will be a great time to get revenge on Queen Selenity. She’ll regret banishing me. I’ll make her pay through her precious Serenity. “Tell Sasoriza to get moving quickly. If he fails to bring back a Rainbow Crescent Soul, tell him his punishment is death.” “Yes, your majesty.” Onidorei bowed to the woman, and left smiling. The queen just sat on her throne, gritting her teeth and thinking. Soon I will get my revenge, and then she will regret her past. [End of scene] * * * * In a dimly lit apartment building, four figures were relaxed and still on the furniture. Ring, ring, ring. A semi-tall figure gets up to answer it. “Moshi moshi?” “Konnichiwa, Haruka-san. It’s me, Usagi. How are you and everyone else doing? “We’re fine. How are you and the other girls?” “We’re great. Except a new enemy has arrived and so have new senshi.” “Really?” Haruka said with a calm voice. “Hai. Could you stop by Tokyo and help us find out their identity? I would be so happy to see you all again.” “I guess we could stop by for a short business.” “Domo arigato, Haruka-san.” “Ja, Usagi-chan.” Haruka hung up the phone. “What did she want?” Michiru asked. “A new enemy has appeared, and she wants our help to find who the new senshi are.” “New senshi?” Hotaru asked. “Yes. Apparently they have arrived recently, and she wants to help, but they won’t let her.” “That sounds so familiar.” Michiru said with a small smile. “That was us when we first met them. We only were stubborn because we had no knowledge of her being our princess. This seems more like a different case.” “This case is more like the Starlights’. We shouldn’t get in the new senshis’ way, since we know they won’t let us help.” Setsuna said whiling standing up. “Okay. Let’s get going.”Haruka said, picking up a set of keys. “It’s been quite a while hasn’t it, Haruka?” Michiru said quietly. “It has.” They walked out the apartment house and Haruka closed the door shut behind them.
