Chapter 66

"Kaolinite," Professor Tomoe said in a slow drawl as he peered through a microscope in his darkened laboratory.

"Yes Professor," Kaolinite said.

"I have finally discovered a way to find my warriors."

"That is excellent Professor."

"Yes it is," Tomoe said and began to laugh only to stop abruptly. "Anyway, if I am to find the three talismans, I will probably need these warriors to help me."

"I would hope the job wouldn't be as difficult to need their assistance."

"We cannot be too careful. Besides, I need time to perfect my daimon eggs anyway."

"Of course professor."

"Here Kaolinite, take this marker. It will lead you to the first warrior," Tomoe said.

"But Professor, this is just a marking pen."

"Well it is that too, but I thought it would be ironic to have a marker, be a marker!" Tomoe said and ran out the door. Kaolinite heard a loud splash.

"Hmm..dousing himself in his pool of sanity again," she muttered and walked out a door.

Meanwhile at Juuban High School, a new year of classes was beginning. In one of the top floor classes, Miss Haruna was calling roll.

"Anderson," she said. Amy nodded.

"Thomson," she said. Greg nodded.

"Patterson," Haruna growled. Patterson nodded.

"Tsukino...." Haruna hissed. Serena frowned and looked about nervously.

"Ehh..time to start class," Miss Haruna said unenthusiastically.

"Miss Haruna?" Mike asked raising his hand.

"What is it Mr. Leslie," Haruna muttered.

"Are we bothering you?"

"Why no..whatever gave you that idea," Haruna said sarcastically and turned back to the board. If I ever find out who's responsible for this class assignment I will do something deserving of prison time. She thought.

Later that day, the ten warriors had eventually filed in around a lunch table. Patterson sat at one end. Serena at the other. At Serena's right was Lita, Raye, Mina, and then Amy. To her left, Steve, Rick, Mike, and Greg.

"My English teacher is a real jerk," Raye said.

"Yeah, I know," Mina said.

"My Biology teacher seemed quite knowledgeable," Amy said.

"Yeah," Greg said.

"School is so boring," Serena muttered.

"So..Mina...don't you think our math teacher is a real hunk?" Lita asked.

"Yeah...looks like Mike's going to have some competition," Mina said.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Mike said.

"Yeah..swooning over a teacher. There a laws against that you know," Steve said.

"Then we will be criminals of love," Lita and Mina said in unison.

"There they go," Patterson muttered stoically. Amy and Greg laughed.

"Yes....we will not puny boundaries placed on us by society hold us back," Mina said and stood up with determination.

"We will rebel against the old order and forge a new path," Lita said and also stood up with determination.

"We will right wrongs, and triumph over evil in the cause of love for our math teacher!" Mina and Lita shouted, just at one of those weird points in time when everyone is silent. Suddenly the entire lunch plaza was staring at the two.

"Ahem..." the two said and sat down quickly staring at the ground and blushing.

"That was kinda cool," Mike said.

"While...altogether embarrassing," Steve said.

"Real slick guys," Serena muttered.

"Ehh...our love is worth the consequences," Lita said.

"Uh..yeah...it is..it is...worthy...of great sacrifice," Mina said.

"You know..Serena can be pretty flaky, but I think you two have manage to upstage even her today," Raye said.

"What a great honor that must be," Rick said.

Lita and Mina just sighed.

"So..what..are we supposed to do. Break this guy's legs now?" Steve asked.

"I think that's standard procedure for people who come between us and our girlfriends," Mike said.

"Hey! Patterson.....you got any tactical plans for ambushing a math teacher?" Steve called down the table.

"Not at the moment. All I have is a foolproof way to invade France," Patterson muttered.

"Like that takes any thought," Serena muttered.

The table was quiet.

"What? Everyone knows the Germans invaded France twice through Belgium, I mean...how hard can it be to invade?" Serena asked.

"I didn't know about that," Mina said.

"Me neither," Mike said.

"Serena..how did you know that?" Amy asked.

"All right, so I picked up a history book last week..okay..so sue me," Serena said.

"But Serena, you actually studied something..I mean...on your own.." Lita said.

"It's that bad huh?" Serena asked.

"No. Serena it's great," Lita said.

"Yes, you're showing initiative," Amy said.

"Well that's just great," Serena muttered.

"Only Serena would find personal improvement annoying," Raye said and sighed.

"So..where you off to?" Greg asked as he, Amy, and Patterson were walking down the hallways after lunch.

"History," Amy said.

"Patterson?" Greg asked.

"History as well," Patterson said.

"Hmm..I've got phys ed. See you later," Greg said and headed for the gym.

"I wonder what our history teacher will be like," Amy said.

Patterson just grunted. They reached the open door and moved to go through it. Amy

stopped dead in her tracks, as did Patterson. The entire class was filled with girls, including, Serena, Lita, Mina, and Raye. Patterson began to sweat. At the front of the classroom, a male voice began laughing. There leaning against the chalkboard was the new principal of Juuban High School, Hideki Oksua.

"HAH! How's this for a surprise Patterson!" Oksua shouted.

Patterson said nothing.

"Heh heh...I'll be going now..." Oksua said and walked out the door passed the still stunned Patterson.

"Don't worry Patterson....there's nothing to fear," Amy said.

"Ehh..." Patterson said. Amy moved inside and took a seat. Patterson took the only open seat near the window.

"So...Mr. Patterson, afraid of girls are you?" the female teacher said confrontationally.

"I'm afraid of most things I cannot destroy with a battletank," Patterson replied starring at the ground.

"Yes...I'm well aware of your exploits with a tank, typical male activities," the teacher said.

"Excuse me miss, but shouldn't we be dealing with the class material?" Amy asked.

"Hmm....so we should," the teacher said and began to lecture.

Following school, the five female scouts found themselves looking for something to occupy themselves.

"Okay..we've just finished a long day of high school. Now what do we do?" Lita asked.

"Go to the restaurant for some goodies of course," Mina said.

"Uh...that's right...that's what all high school kids are supposed to do," Serena said.

"It is a solemn duty," Raye said.

"I don't think it is," Amy said.

"Sure it is..." the other four said and the group was soon heading for one of their favorite hangouts, a restaurant near the crown video arcade.

Minutes later.

"Well..looks like you had the same idea we did," Mike said as he, accompanied by Steve, Rick, and Greg had practically run into the girls at the front door of the restaurant.

"That's creepy," Lita said.

"Not that creepy though," Raye said with a grin and a slight blush.

Soon the group was occupying a large booth in the corner of the restaurant, which they frequented quite often.

"You know, ever since we won that last battle, we've hardly seen anything of each other," Lita observed.

"Well..there were reasons," Mina said. "It wasn't like you were available either."

"I'm not saying it to be critical," Lita said. "I'm just saying this is the first time we've gotten together like this in a few weeks."

"Well..after our latest battle, we had to make up for lost time, especially in our case," Raye said.

"I'll drink to that," Rick said.

"Darrien's such a dear, he just had to suggest taking me out every day," Serena said.

"He suggested it?" the other girls asked suspiciously.

"Actually yes, he did," Serena said. "He just wasn't counting on me accepting! Hah!"

The guys started laughing. The girls just sighed at typical Serena behavior.

"So...Amy...Greg..how was the rest of your summer?" Mina asked seconds later in her usual leering tone.

"Very enlightening," Amy said.

"Uh..yeah..we did a lot of research," Greg said.

"RESEARCH!" everyone else but the pair said, some surprised that they might actually be doing scientific research, others surprised for other reasons, but the tone was the same. Amy and Greg blushed.

"So..just what did you study?" Mike asked.

"Quantum Mechanics," Amy said.

"As well as a detailed analysis of the Franco-Prussian war," Greg said.

"Franco-Prussian War? Who was that between?" Mina asked.

"Yeah...those aren't countries are they?" Mike asked.

"They're..." Amy began.

"It's talking about two different groups," Serena said slowly, "Namely the French who for some reason were referred to as Francos..or something..and the Prussians who came from Prussia, which used to be a country before it's eventual absorption into the country of Germany..possibly during the reign of Chancellor Otto Van Bismarck..."

The rest of the table went silent and looked at Serena. Serena glanced back.

"Oh...I bet you're wondering how I knew that..." she said.

The others nodded.

"Well I'm not going to tell you," Serena said.

Everyone else sighed.

"You know I'm beginning to enjoy seeing those kinds of looks on your faces and as a result of this I think I'll just study a little harder, it's worth it," Serena said.

"How do you like that, working harder for such a worthless reason," Raye said.

"If it gets her to try harder..." Amy replied.

"Well...we better get off that subject...so Serena..do tell about your dates with Darrien," Minas said.

"After all..he's not here so you can say all you want," Lita said and immediately got glances from the guys at the table.

"Uh..it's not like we talk about you guys behind your back.." she said with a nervous grin.

"Why not?" Steve replied.

"Yeah..what do you think we guys talk about when you're not around anyway?" Mike asked.

"It isn't the stock market," Rick added.

"Oh..well...then I'm off the hook then," Lita said.

"So anyway..Serena..you were about to tell us about your dates," Mina said.

"I said no such thing," Serena said and paused for a few seconds. "But...I'll give you all the details..." she began.

Meanwhile...not surprisingly, in the kitchen of that very restaurant.

"Hmm...excellent, a perfect place to test our warrior's abilities," Kaolinite said as she blasted the staff .

"Ah..there..she is..." Kaolinite said noticing one of the waitresses lying in a heap on the floor. She pulled out a small device from her pocket and shot he waitress with it. In front of her the waitress changed form and becoming a monster.

"Well..now..this is very good," Kaolinite said.

"So....then we went..." Serena was saying. As a monster burst through the kitchen doors into the restaurant and began smashing things.

"A monster! Ah...jeez!" the nine sailor scouts all shouted and ducked under the table.

"Just what we need.." Serena muttered.

"Yeah..and you were getting to the good part too," Mina said.

"We know what we have to do...." Raye said solemnly.

"Yeah," the others said and sighed.

"Mars Star Power!"

"Venus Star Power!"

"Mercury Star Power!"

"Jupiter Star Power!"

"Saturn Power!"

"Neptune Power!"

"Pluto Power!"

"Uranus Power!"

"Moon Crystal Power!"

The monster smashed another table.

"Stop right there!" The nine shouted.

"Ehh..." The monster said and looked over to see the nine Sailor Scouts standing there. The originals in front of a table, the last four standing on it.

"Too hot to handle," Mars said.

"Too cold to hold," Mercury said.

"Positively Shocking," Jupiter said.

"And graceful as a swan," Venus said.

"Big and strong, like a good cup of coffee," Pluto said.

"Uh yeah..good to the last drop," Neptune said.

"Ehh...you can't stop me you can only hope to contain me," Uranus said.

"Silent but deadly," Saturn muttered.

"UH....you guys need work," Sailor Moon said. "I am Sailor Moon and on behalf of the moon I will punish you!"

"Are you quite finished?" the creature muttered and sent a long strand of rope like substance flying at them. The five girls dived out of the way, but it wrapped around the boys and tied them together.

"Ahh..geez," Uranus muttered. The creature leapt and knocked the four off the table and down to the ground. It then whirled around shooting more ropes at the other scouts, who dodged them.

"He's fast," Mars said.

"Too fast," Mercury replied.

"We'll have to fight him hand to hand," Jupiter said and leapt over a booth. Her punch connected and stunned the creature. Venus bounced off of a seat and flipped bouncing off the creature's head.

"Stop that!" it shouted. Mars vaulted off a table and kicked him. He staggered back again.

"Okay..on three," Neptune said as the four guys tried to pick themselves up off the ground.

"One..two...three.." he said, they stood up, were hit by the creature falling backward and knocked back down.

"We really do not have the hang of this," Saturn muttered.

"I'll hit him with my lightening," Jupiter said.

"You can't do that Jupiter, we're in an enclosed space," Mercury said.

"But we can't beat him purely hand to hand," Mars said.

"Then we'll have to knock him into the street," Sailor Moon said, her moon sword forming. She jumped up onto a table, slipped on a glass of spilled soda and fell back downward.

"There goes our momentum," Venus muttered. The creature leapt up towards them.

They screamed and jumped out of the way. Jupiter and Mars turned around quickly, and hit the creature from each side. Sailor Moon leapt forward with her own drop kick and the creature staggered back again.

"Hmm...Mercury Bubbles Blast!" Mercury shouted. Her attack dropped a mist over the restaurant.

"Hit him now!" she shouted.

"Right!" the other four scouts said. Jupiter barreled forward. Mars kicked. Venus ran forward too. Sailor Moon jumped. Soon the creature was smashing through the window and out into the street.

"How dare you!" it shouted and sent it's ropes flying. The four scouts dived out of the way. Mercury hurried to the boys aid.

"Here..let me help you," She said.

"Ehh...yeah..we kinda need it," Neptune muttered.

"Look out!" Saturn shouted. Mercury turned and narrowly missed a rope flying at her, it only managed to get caught around her legs. She began to try and tug at it.

"Jupiter Thunderclap... woah.." Jupiter said as the creature sent another thing flying at her.

"We've gotta hit it again and stun it," Mars said.

"Moon Sword," Sailor Moon said and her scepter became the light sword. She advanced. The ropes flew at her. She swung her sword around and hit some of them, but others wrapped around her.

"Aw..geez.." she said.

"Well..now you know that doesn't work," Jupiter said.

Venus jumped up into the air and landed on a nearby roof.

"He can't get me up here," she said. "Venus Love Chain Encircle!" she shouted. The creature backed up and launched a rope at her. It narrowly missed.

Mars and Jupiter didn't miss their opportunity. They attack and hit the creature in the face. He staggered.

"Mars Celestial Fireball Surround!"

"Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!"

The two attacks hit. The creature began to weaken.

"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"

The third attack hit and the creature staggered back again. Sailor Moon hurriedly struggled with her ropes. The creature recovered and charged at her.

"Ahh.."

A rose smashed into the creatures forehead, while several blasts of multicolored energy burned away the ropes around her.

Standing on opposite street lamps were Tuxedo Mask and Maverick.

"Don't you negaverse fools ever quit disturbing these young ladies?" Tuxedo Mask said.

Ehh..if I stay on this lamppost any longer I'm going to lose my balance, Maverick thought and jumped off of it.

The creature sent ropes flying at both of them. Tuxedo Mask jumped out of the way. Maverick drew his sword and spun it around. The ropes all split and flew by.

"Hey!" Sailor Moon said. "I was trying to do that."

"Worry about the creature!" Mars said now facing the creature in hand to hand.

"About time you showed up?" Uranus muttered as Maverick cut them free with his sword. Mercury had just finished untangling herself.

"You four obviously haven't been listening to what I've told you," Maverick muttered.

"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!"

The attack hit the creature and froze him.

"Um..next time, be a little more careful," Mars muttered knocking some bits of ice out of her hair."

"Oh..sorry," Mercury said.

"Moon Scepter Elimination!" Sailor Moon yelled.

The white energy flew out and hit the ice, but didn't do anything.

"What?" Sailor Moon said.

The creature broke out.

Five blasts from the energy swords of the five guys hit the thing and knocked it backwards.

"We've got to do this the old fashioned way," Jupiter said.

"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"

"Jupiter Thunder Clap Zap!"

"Mars Celestial Fireball Surround!"

"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!"

The four attacks hit and the creature vaporized.

"Oh..no! My power's gone!" Sailor Moon said.

"But it can't be..you're still Sailor Moon aren't you?" Mercury said.

"It must be something else," Tuxedo Mask said.

"But what?" Sailor Moon asked.

Suddenly she disappeared.

"That's not good is it?" Neptune asked.

Serena awoke. She was standing in the moon kingdom. There in front of her stood Queen Serenity. She noticed she wasn't Sailor Moon anymore, but instead Princess Serena.

"What's going on mother?" Serena asked.

"Serena, the silver crystal has been used so much...it's power is running low..." Queen Serenity said.

"But I need that power!"

"Don't worry....I believe that you are capable of handling another power now.."

"Like what?"

"Like this..." Queen Serenity said and handed her a heart shaped locket. "This is an even more powerful crystal."

"Oh..I see....will it work?"

"Yes....and here..this will help you," she said and gave Serena a different scepter.

"What's this?"

"This is the way for you to defeat even greater enemies, but it's power is different. You can only call for it once before it needs time to reenergize..so..use it wisely. You must rely on your friends...and yourself."

"Uh..okay...but what kind of attack do I have now?"

"You'll know."

And with that Queen Serenity faded.

Sailor Moon reappeared holding the scepter and with the heart-shaped brooch now sitting on her uniform.

"Sailor Moon, are you all right?" Venus asked.

"Sure."

"What's all that you have with you?" Mars asked.

"This is my new power," Sailor Moon said.

"Oh...see..there was nothing to worry about," Tuxedo Mask said.

"Yes, I guess there wasn't," Sailor Moon said.

"What do you mean there's nothing to worry about?" Jupiter snapped. "We've got another war to fight," she said.

"Oh...yeah.." the others realized and all let out a moan.
