                            THE NEW CREW

     It was a new day, the first day, of a new school for all five girls.

They had a plan to meet each other after school in the park.  It was almost

time and two small figures clung to the shadows.  They would make their
 
presence known when they were sure that these were the right girls.  All 

day Sabine and Samantha had been getting weird looks from a girl in their

class, her name was Lita.  (Lita had been getting weird vibes from the new 

girls, not bad but definitely not normal.)  Sam and Sabine had this feeling

that they knew her from somewhere.  Lita also had the same feeling.  Lita

had decided to talk to Serena and the girls about this.  Little did she 

know that, the same thing was happening to Serena.




     There were two new girls in Serena's class.  They were identical twins.

Their names were Celeste and Scilly.  Celeste was very shy.  They were told 

to sit next to Serena.  Serena couldn't figure out why she felt like she

knew them, so in typical Serena fashion, she decided to make friends with 

them.  That's when she found out that, they were part of that new Hip Hop 

Group from America, that was so popular.  She couldn't wait to tell the

girls.  (Boy wouldn't Rae be jealous.)  Both Celeste and Scilly couldn't

figure out why they felt connected to Serena.  They decided that they would

let the others know right after school.  (maybe Samantha or Topaze would 

know what was happening.)  Little did they know,at that very moment, the

 same thing was also happening to Topaze and Starr.   




   Over at Darien's school, the hall was buzzing with gossip.  There were
 
two new students, and the rumor was that they were young (17 maybe).  When 

Darien got to class the teacher was not there yet.  He took his seat and 

prepared for class.  It didn't take long for the teacher to come in, behind 

him came two young girls.  (The rumor was right.)  The teacher got up in 

front of the class and said, "Class we are lucky to have two new students 

from America.  They are a part of that music group, 'ZODIAC' and will be 

joining our class.  Their names are Starr and Topaze.  Girls take a seat 

next to Darien."   At that point Darien looked up from what he was doing, 

and he caught his breath.  ("She looks a lot like Serena"), he thought.  It

was at that point that he got the feeling, he had met them both before.  He 

couldn't wait for class to be over, so that he could talk to Serena and the

 others.  Topaze and Starr were having a similar reaction.  Topaze decided

that the next best course of action was to make a friend out of this Darien,

then later while Sam was meditating she would see if her friend could find 

out anything new.  




     Class was over and the five American girls ran from their schools to 

the park.  Topaze and Starr were the first to reach the park.  The other 

four girls decided that they would wait for each other and go together.  

They were just entering the park when Topaze spotted them and came running 

to them.(Starr not far behind her)  All five girls started talking at once.

Then suddenly they all said "what, you to?"  




     It was at that point that the two small figures, that were clinging to

the shadows, were going to reveal themselves.  Before that could happen 

there was a high pitched scream echoing through the park.  The group of five

girls got very quiet. 




     After a few minutes Topaze said that she was going to, "check it out."
  
The others decided to go along.  They all ran in the direction of the cry. 
 
When they got close enough they saw this woman floating in the air, and a 

monster like creature standing over a couple of girls.  This creature was

taking something from them.  The woman in the air was giving it orders and

it was following them.  




     By this time the girls under the monster were lying limp.  Topaze then

got real mad and decided to do something.  She was about to stand up when,

two small cats appeared in front of her.  At the same time they said, wait".

All of the girls looked at them and they started to talk.  The little yellow

one said, "my name is Apollo, and this is Solar", and he pointed to an 

almost white cat.  They both had little sun signs on their head, (like Luna

and Artimus).  Apollo then said, " If your going to fight this creature you

will need a few things. (that's when he did a back-flip.  A locket appeared

he gave it to Topaze, and then he proceeded to do two more backflips.  At 

the same time Solar, did the same thing, they gave these to the other 

girls.)  Then Apollo said to Topaze, "now you say Solar Ninja Power."  She

thought I have nothing to lose, and she held up the locket while she said 

"Solar Ninja Pooowwweerrrr!!!"  Sudden she was transformed into a Zodiac

Scout.  Her outfit was similar to the Sailor Scouts.  She had a white body 

suit, her pleated bright yellow mini skirt was just as short as theirs.

She also had emerald green bows.  Her hair was similar to that of Sailor 

Moon's, Except instead of red jewels, Topaze had Blue Topaz, to match the 

stone in her tiara.  She also had a face mask, like a ninja would have to

cover the lower half of her face.  It was the same bright yellow as her 

skirt.  She had emerald green boots, with a little yellow sun's at the top.

When the others saw this, they decided to transform.  



"Star Ninja Power".....Starr transformed...  She also had a white

                       bodysuit.  Her skirt was Jade Green, with light

                       Yellow bows.  She has a Jade Green mask and high

                       heels to match the Jade stone in her tiara.


  
"Atomic Ninja Power".....Sabine transformed...  She also has a white

                         bodysuit.  Her skirt is a light Blue and she

                         has darker Bluishpurple bows.  Her mask is the

                         same light Blue for her mask.  Her boots lace

                         all the way up to the knee.  They are the

                         same, dark Bluishpurple that matches the stone

                         in her tiara.




"Nuclear Ninja Power".....Samantha transformed...  She has the same 

                          white bodysuit also.  Her skirt is Red and

                          she has Green bows.  She also has a Red mask.

                          Her Red high heels have Red ribbons in them,

                          they match the stone in her tiara.



 
"Quasar Ninja Power".....Scilly transformed...  She also has a white

                         bodysuit.  Her skirt is also Red.  The bow in

                         front is Red, and the bow in the back, is 

                         Pink.  Her mask is also Pink.  Her boots,

                         (just like Sailor Jupiter's) are Red and

                         matches the stone in her tiara.



 
"Pulsar Ninja Power".....Celeste transformed...  Like her twin sister 
                    
                         she has a white bodysuit.  Her skirt and mask

                         are Cobalt blue.  The bows on her suit are a

                         lighter blue.  Her boots are like her sisters

                         and they are also Cobalt in color, and match

                         the stone in her tiara.




 
     All of this happened in just a few tenths of a second.  After they 

transformed, Solar said, "It is your destiny to fight this, and all evil 

that threatens the Earth and mankind.  We must also find the Princess of 

the sun.  Now go we will talk more when you have destroyed  that monster."  

The girls all nodded and then instinct took over, and they knew exactly what
 
to do.







flashback:     Earlier that morning in the Dark Kingdom.








     Queen Zaran is seated on her throne her sons on either side and she 

calls for the General named Zennon.  Zennon appears in a bright pink flash 

of lightening.  "You called my Queen."   Zaran looked Zennon up and down and

then proceeded to tell her what she wanted her for.  "Zennon, I have a 

mission that may require your distinctive talents.  It is imperative that

someone go to the Planet Earth and collect all of the Dark Energy that they 

can.  I know that you have just completed your training.  Do you think that 

you are up to such a task?   Prince Zac assured me that you were."  And with 

the gauntlet thrown down, Zennon deftly picked it up, "It would be a GREAT 

PLEASURE my Queen."  She gave a short evil laugh, and with a slight jump she

vanished into thin air.  (The whole time Zennon thought "this is my chance 

to win Prince Zac.")  When she got to Earth, she set up as millionaires.  

In the late afternoon she decided, she had better get started on her 

mission.  The sooner she got enough Dark Energy the sooner she could get 

back to Prince Zac.  She went to the park (it was fairly bursting with 

energy.)  



     Once there she called on the first, of the many droids under her

command, Droid Octell.  Octell came from one of the many galaxies that the

 Dark Kingdom had conquered.  He is now very evil and the only way to stop 

him, is to destroy him.  "Droid Octell, in this park are many humans, drain 

their  energy!" ....Zennon.  "As you command." ...Octell.   



       
     At this point that Topaze had decided to do something.  The Cats, off 

to the side, saw marks appear on their foreheads.  That was when they knew 

that these five girls were the right ones.  



     Octell was draining the energy out of a group of girls when, Zennon 

told him to move on to the next group.  Only a few feet away, another group 

of humans were held in chains.  "Give me your energy!", cried Octell.  But 

from out of nowhere, and yet everywhere came a voice that said, "Their, not

going to give you anything."  "Who said that?",.. Octell   The same voice 

said, "I did."  And then suddenly all six of the Zodiac Scouts were visible,

all standing on a tree branch.  "Who are you?",..Octell   "I am Sailor Solar

Ninja, the first of the Zodiac Scouts," ..Topaze "I am Sailor Star Ninja, 

the second of the Zodiac Scouts,"..Starr "I am Sailor Atomic Ninja, the 

third of the Zodiac Scouts,"..Sabine "I am Sailor Nuclear Ninja, the fourth

Zodiac Scout,"..Sam "And We are Sailors Quasar, and Pulsar, the fifth, and

sixth Zodiac Scouts.","On behalf of Scorpio, and the rest of the Zodiac. We

will punish you!."...Topaze said and the whole time she thought, it all

 sounded very familiar.




    "Oooohhh big words for such little girls.  Lets see what you've 

got!"...Octell





                        To be continued 








                       Part II






Last Time:  



     "On behalf of Scorpio, and the rest of the Zodiac, we will punish 

you!"...


     "Ooooohhhhhh big Words for such little girls.  Lets see what you've 

got!"...cried Octell.







     Two tentacles shot out towards the Zodiac Scouts.  All five of the 


Scouts jumped out of the way.  Unfortunately, Octell was quicker and let 

loose with five other tentacles, he captured each of the Scouts in one shot.

He had Quasar and Pulsar both by the lower half of their legs, and he was 

draining their energy.  Both Nuclear and Atomic Ninja were captured around 

their waist, both their arms were trapped, and their energy was also being

drained.  Octell had Sailor Star Ninja around both of her wrists.  Sailor 

Star Ninja was glowing a bright green color.(her energy was being drained.)

Topaze had one of her hands between Octell's tentacle and her own neck.  She

started to glow a bright golden color and felt that she was growing weaker

by the second.  



     
     Then suddenly White Roses with Blue Tips were thrown at Octell.  The 

stems sliced through all Octell's tentacles.  Octell gave a deafening scream

and recoiled his tentacles.  All of the Zodiac Scouts fell to the ground, 

limp and weak.    



     Looking in the direction the Roses came from Octell demanded, "How dare

you.  Who are you?"  The tall figure in a Light Blue Ninja outfit replied, 

"How dare you harm these innocent humans?  I the Blue Moon Ninja, will not 

allow it."  And with that he took two Ninja Stars and threw them at Octell.

Octell was ready for this attack and he moved out of the way.




     Zennon who had retreated to her stronghold after telling Octell to move

on.  Monitored the increase of Dark energy that Octell had collected.

Suddenly a bright light blinds her and the energy field grows faster and

brighter.  Then just as suddenly it ceases to grow.  Zennon saw this and

decided to go see what was happening.




     Zennon appeared in a big pink flash of lightening.  She was floating

above the scene of fighters.  She heard a man in light blue say, "Zodiac 

Scouts, Sailor Solar Ninja your energy may have been drained but if you look

deep inside yourselves, you will find the energy to defeat this evil."




     Zennon decided that it would be best to wait and see what would happen.

From where she was she told Octell, "destroy this rabble, and be quick about

it.  Queen Zaran energy, and we will give it to her.  Do not fail me."  With 

that said she vanished.








Flashback:    Just after school








     This was one day that Serena did not have detention.  She couldn't wait

to tell the gang about her two new friends.  She would have invited them to 

come along if the meeting today had not been a Scout meeting.  Serena met up

with Lita and Amy just outside of Rae's temple.  They greeted each other and

then went to find Rae.  Mina, Rae, and Darien were seated around the small

table in Rae's room.  The girls walked in and Serena bolted towards Darien

with a high pitched scream that almost broke everyone's eardrums.  Little 

sweat drops appeared on every one.  Darien just did a grin and bare it type

thing.



     After Darien had calmed Serena down, he said, "I know that you have a 

meeting today.  I'm here because I thought that you should know what 

happened in my class today.  There are two new girls and..." before he could

say another word Serena and Lita at the same time said, "Thats what I want 

to talk about."  Mina, Rae, and Amy looked at each other then at the others.

(at this Luna and Artemis who were sitting quietly in a corner perked up 

their ears.)  "Why don't you tell us every thing first Serena." was Amy's 

response.  Serena proceeded to tell the gang about the twins, and the

feeling that she knew them from somewhere, and that she had made friends

with them.  "I haven't even got to the best part yet.  Boy are you going to

 be jealous Rae.  Their part of that American Hip Hop group that is so

popular.  Isn't that just wicked cool?!"  Both Rae and Serena got into a 

raspberry fight.  Before they could get to far with it Darien cut them off.

"So are the girls I met today, but there is more."  He proceeded to tell

them about the feeling that he has that he knew them before.  And the one

named Topaze, (he gave a pause just for effect) she's a deadringer for

Serena.  There are a couple of major differences.  She has braids instead of

ponytails.  She's 17 years old and smart enough to be in my class."

"Hmmmmm, Lita, what about you?" Amy asked.  "Well it started when they 

entered the classroom.  I got this feeling that they were familiar.  When 

the teacher told them to sit by me, I started to get these vibes.  Not bad 

or evil vibes, but defiantly not normal.  They were friendly enough though,

they are also part of that same group Serena and Darien mentioned."



     The whole time Luna and Artemis intently listened.  When they looked at
 
each other Luna said, "could it be someone from the Moon Kingdom?"  "That's

it.  That has to be what it is.", said Serena.  (hopping that they wouldn't

start talking about ghosts.)




     It was at that moment that Rae had a feeling that a lot of humans were 

in need of help.  She told the Scouts and they transformed, and took off in 

the direction of the park.  When they got there they heard a male voice 

speaking encouraging words to someone who looked very familiar.




     By this time Sailor Nuclear Ninja had recovered enough to try her 

power.  The white cat jumped in front of her and said, "Now!  Blast him with

your Nuclear winter, it will blind him long enough for Sailor Solar Ninja to

destroy him!"  Samantha stood on shaky legs, but she had to try.



     "NUCLEAR WINTER BLAST!!" ....snow fell every where Octell was to cold

to move and he could see nothing.  Off to the side the Sailor Scouts could 

see what was happening and they were frozen in their tracks.  (due to 

astonishment)  Octell got angry and said, "I can take anything you can dish

out." and used his tentacles to fan away the snow.  He then taunted with a,

"you'll have to do better than that if you are going to defeat me."




     Topaze used this time to gather enough energy to use her power. 

"Prepare to be Solar dusted!  "Solar cell"  a small antenna raises out of 

her tiara, it started to collect the suns energy.  when she had enough she 

continued the attack (just like Jupiter) "Zappp!!!"  the energy had been 

turned into electrical energy.  Solar lightening surrounded Octell.  He was 

stunned and could not move.  (like Mars' fire balls)  Then Sailor Solar 

Ninja held her right arm straight up and called.  "Solar Sword"  then a

flaming sword appeared in her hand.  Topaze used this to deftly slash 

through Octell's body, two slices (in an x pattern).  "NnnOoooo!" Octell

cried and then he turned to dust.




     "Good work Zodiac Scouts.  Till next time."  and with a blue puff of 

smoke, he was gone.  Topaze stared after him, "he's so cute", and she gave a

soft sigh.  




     At that point the Sailor Scouts moved towards them.  "Who are you?"

 they asked.  "Are you from the Moon Kingdom?" asked Sailor Moon.  The 

Zodiac Scouts all turned at this.  Apollo, and Solar said, "your highness,

no we are from the Zodiac galaxy.  Your aunt ruled till the day that a rouge

member of her court attacked our peace.  We were all sent in the Cosmic 

Imperium Golden Solar Crystal to your mother, Queen Serenity in hopes that 

some day we could live happy and free again.  We are now on a mission to 

find your cousin the Sun Princess.  The evil that we fought today came from 

the same evil that destroyed our whole Galaxy.  We must leave you now, but 

we will meet again soon Princess Serenity."  and with that both cats, and 

all six of the Zodiac Scouts vanished.




     At Zennon's stronghold she was watching the ball of energy.  Suddenly

it disappeared.  She knew that Octell had failed.  Queen Zaran was not going

to be happy with her first attempt.  She would be lucky if she got another

chance.  "Arugh", "Next time those Zodiac Scouts won't be so lucky!  I will

find a way to destroy them!!"




     Back in Queen Zaran's castle Zaffra and Zac watched the whole thing.

"Huh I wouldn't want to be in her shoes when your mother finds out what just

happened."(she also liked Prince Zac.)  Prince Zac just opened a black 

vortex and left.  Zaffra just gave a evil laugh.
