Hey-o! Crescent Moon is back. Now, I think that I should explain soon
why I won’t be having many stories out after summer is done. Did I
explain this in any other story? Oh well, see, it’s still the summer
when I’m writing this, but once school starts for me, which is in three
weeks from now- it’s the 10th of August right now, I won’t have much
time to write, especially if I make the Freshman Volleyball team. You
can expect a lot of stories around Christmas time, in the middle of
February, around Easter, and, of course, next summer break. The same
thing with Aquamarine Angel, one of my best friends. We’ll be in 9th
grade next year, and that will be our first year at the high school.
Since Aquamarine Angel hardly sends in anything now, expect maybe a
chapter every two months. (For those of you who haven’t guessed, I’m
taunting her into writing more often, instead of reading or being bored.
;@P) So, this is the seventh chapter of The New Sailor Moon, or whatever
it’s called. I keep forgetting the name. Here ya go:
The New Sailor Moon: Episode Seven
Andrew went along with Serena for awhile before stopping her. “Why’d we
leave them alone?” he asked. They sat on a nearby bench.
“Raye’s got a crush on Darien, so I figured we should give them a
chance to see if they can make something happen! I love playing
matchmaker!” Serena squealed.
“What about you? Wasn’t this your idea?”
“Sort of, but I like Darien as friend, and same with you (Serena had
gotten over her crush on Andrew, once she had discovered Tuxedo Mask),
but you guys are older, so I figured something like this would let us
spend time together as friends.”
“That’s cool. Let’s walk back really slowly, so we can spy on them.”
Andrew had a mischievous look on his face.
The two walked slowly back to the spot where they had left Darien and
Raye. They found the two just talking, standing as far apart as they
could on the sidewalk. Serena was puzzled by this. Raye also seemed a
little pale. Darien was staring at the ground.
“Raye? Are you okay? Are you sick or something?” Serena was concerned
at her friend’s paleness.
“I’m feeling a bit sick. Can we go?” Raye asked, with pleading eyes.
“Uh, sure. Andrew, Darien, do you mind?”
“No. If Raye’s sick, I’d think it’d be best for her to get some rest,”
said Darien. Andrew nodded his agreement.
“Maybe we can get together some other time. See ya!” Serena called as
they headed for Raye’s temple. Raye visibly got better as they left the
two boys behind. Finally, they reached Raye’s temple.
“Call Amy. We need her for something,” Raye said immediately. Luna had
followed them and rushed to get Amy from computer class, since she
wouldn’t be able answer he communicator there.
“Raye, why’d you get all pale and seem sick?” asked Serena.
“I’ll tell you when Amy gets here. It’s hard enough to understand it
myself. I think I can only handle to explain once.” Raye sighed.
Ten minutes later, Amy and Luna joined Serena and Raye. Raye sank down
onto her bed.
“You guys aren’t going to believe this, so I’ll just say it. Darien is
the Earth Prince.” She sighed. Amy and Luna looked at Raye quizzically.
Serena stared off into space.
“Darien’s the Earth Prince??? Not possible......” Serena trailed off,
not finishing the rest of her thoughts as she zoned out.
“Are you sure Raye?” asked Amy.
“I’m pretty sure. I used my priestess training, because I was getting
strange vibes from him. His vibes are very close to what Serena gives
off, only more harsh. Serena’s vibes are, happy. Amy, yours are
intelligent, and Luna, yours are authoritive. I checked out Darien’s
vibes closely, and the ones closest to his heart and his mind were very
old. It was, like, he was searching for something.”
“Raye, do you think that you could check Darien out again? Just to be
sure?” Luna persisted.
“Yeah. I’ll have to, to be sure of myself, so I don’t feel stupid.”
Raye looked at Serena. “Meatball Head. Wake up!” she called.
“Huh? Sorry Raye. I have a question. What about Earth Knight, or, uh,
what was his other name? Oh yeah, Tuxedo Mask. What about him? Is he one
of us? Is he, like, a protector of the Earth Prince?”
“I don’t know. I’ll check him out if I see him. Who is he anyway?” Raye
looked to Luna.
“Tuxedo Mask is another fighter. He’s shown up three times so far.
Twice when it was just Sailor Moon, and once when we first found
Mercury.” Luna explained.
“It’s getting late. I should be going home,” said Amy.
“Yeah. I’ll see you guys later!” Serena called as she left, with Luna
on her heels. Amy left shortly afterward. Raye sighed, then went to bed,
for she had to do work at the temple tomorrow.
~The next evening~
Serena headed for the arcade, hoping that she would be able to try out
that new game. Luna followed her, but didn’t come in, since animals
weren’t allowed. She saw that the line was as long as it was on
Saturday, maybe longer. Andrew was nowhere to seen. She noticed that
when people stopped playing, they’d walk a few steps, then fall over as
something that was black left their bodies. Then they would get up and
wander away like they were sleep walking.
“Oh no! That game must be from the Negaverse!” Serena said to herself.
She took out her communicator. “Amy! Raye! I need your help at the
arcade. That new game is making people drop like flies!” she said as her
friends’ heads appeared.
“We’ll be there when we can,” both said. Serena sighed. She ducked
behind the Sailor V game. “Moon Prism Power!” she whispered, holding up
her hand. Sailor Moon stood up and headed for the front of the line.
“Hold it! You people can’t play this game any more! It’s dangerous to
your health!” She shouted at them, stepping in front of the first
person. She saw that the people’s eyes were glowing an ugly black-purple
color. Jadeite appeared.
“Sailor Moon. So, you’re here without your wimpy scouts. No matter, I
can kill you before they get here.” He launched an attack at her. She
dodged and countered with a jump kick to his mid-section. He doubled
over, and slowly fell to the ground.
“Gamester! Come forth! Drain these people!” The game dissolved, leaving
an odd looking monster behind. The people in line fell over, as the
black stuff left them and headed for the monster. It headed for Sailor
Moon, who was in the middle of dodging more of Jadeite’s attacks. A rose
was thrown in the path of the monster. Tuxedo Mask was there, on top of
one of the games. “You’re not going to get away with this. Give the
people their energy back!” he shouted at Gamester. Gamester headed for
Tuxedo Mask.
“Mars Fire Ignite!” Mars and Mercury were standing in the doorway. Mars
attack hit it in surprise.
“Mercury Bubbles Blast!” shouted Mercury. The bubbles surround Gamester
and Tuxedo Mask.
“I call upon the power of Mars...Fireballs....Charge!” Mars yelled,
using a scroll to paralyze the monster. Mercury started typing
frantically on her computer. Tuxedo Mask went to help Sailor Moon, who
was fighting an unfair battle against Jadeite. Mars concentrated on
Tuxedo Mask.
“Mercury, I can’t examine Tuxedo Mask’s vibes! I think something’s
protecting him from my check.” Mars whispered.
“I know. I tried to scan him too. Right now I’m trying to see if we can
stop both the monster and Jadeite.” Mercury continued to tap on the
keyboard. Gamester was starting to break free of the Mars’ scroll.
“Quick! Let’s go fight Jadeite and let Sailor Moon take care of big and
ugly over there,” Mars said.
“Sailor Moon! Change places!” called Mercury. The two scouts and Sailor
Moon switched positions, and Sailor Moon called on her tiara.
“Moon Tiara Magic!” she shouted, sending her tiara at the monster. It
hit dead on, and the monster was dust.
“Jadeite, it’s your turn to be dust!” Sailor Moon shouted, turning back
to the general. Tuxedo Mask had left while she had destroyed Gamester.
The general just stared, surprised that they had so easily beaten his
monster. Mars was intent on checking Jadeite. Mercury was intently using
her computer as Mars asked her something. Mercury nodded.
“I call upon the power of Mars.......Fireballs......Charge!” Jadeite
was frozen in place by her scroll.
“Sailor Moon! Can you heal him or something?” Mercury called, but
Sailor Moon didn’t hear.
“Moon Tiara Magic!” Sailor Moon called out, sending her tiara out
again. Mars shouted something and tried to stop it, but she missed.
Sailor Moon stared at Mars. The tiara, still going, hit Jadeite, but
instead of destroying him, he changed. Black stuff floated out from his
body. His clothes changed from gray to a dark, almost black, red with
the red trimming still there. His forehead glowed red, black, and
silver, showing a symbol that had a circle divided into four parts.
Finally, the new Jadeite collapsed.
“Oh my gawd! What happened to him?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?” Sailor Moon
squawked.
“Stop squawking. You turned him back to his original form.” Luna came
out from beneath a chair. “Everyone, this is General Jadeite, third in
command of the Earth Prince’s Royal Guard. Just as you three guard the
Moon Princess. Mars, you are third in command of the scouts. Meet your
other half.” Luna smiled as Mars almost fainted. Jadeite soon woke up.
“Unhhh. What happened?” he asked sleepily. Mars walked up to him, and
helped him stand.
“Lady Mars! What- I mean- Why are you here?” Jadeite was clearly
confused.
“Jadeite, this is Earth, in the 1990’s. I think you need a class to
lead into this century.” Mars smiled at him. ‘For an ex-evil general,
he’s pretty cute!’
“Oh. Sure. Oh, forgive me Lady Mercury. I didn’t see you there.” He
bowed low to an embarrassed Mercury. Mars laughed at Mercury. “Who is
your blonde companion?” he asked.
“I’m Sailor Moon. The cat is Luna.” Sailor Moon explained.
“Sailor Moon? I don’t remember a scout of the Moon well. Luna. I can
remember the Prince speaking of you. What exactly happened?” Jadeite
pleaded through his eyes to Luna.
“You were kidnapped by the Negaverse somehow, and you were brainwashed
and made evil. Sailor Moon healed you, miraculously, with her tiara.
That’s when you woke up,” Luna said, walking over to Sailor Moon, who
picked her up.
“Well, anyhow, we should get out of here, before these people wake up.
C’mon,” Sailor Moon said, helping Jadeite walk on one side. Mars took
the other side, with Mercury following, making sure he didn’t fall over.
They headed to an alley. The scouts de-transformed.
“Okay, Jadeite, you have to learn our names now. I’m Raye, Amy is
Mercury, and Serena is Sailor Moon. We have to get you a new name.
Jadeite isn’t popular,” Raye said, taking command.
“Your names are not unlike you past names. I had a different name,
besides Jadeite, but it wasn’t to be used, seeing as how we are all
supposed to have mineral names.” Jadeite closed his eyes and thought.
“My name was Jeffery of Jadeite. Jadeite was the small, sort of,
kingdom-like lands my family lived on.”
“Okay. You’re Jeff.”
“Who’s ‘we’?” asked Amy.
“‘We’ is the other guards and I.”
“Do you know who the Prince and Princess are?” asked Luna.
“No. I’m sorry. I know what the Prince looks like, but now, with you
two, Amy and Raye, looking so much different than in the past, I
couldn’t tell you. I’m sorry.” Jadeite bowed his head. Then he grinned
at Serena.
“Now, Serena, you need to tell me who you were in the past, seeing as
how this isn’t the Silver Millennium anymore.”
“Silver Millennium?!?!?!?!? That’s not a time! It’s a story!” Serena
exclaimed. She looked at her watch. “Guys? We need to get going. It’s
almost 9 o’clock. Raye, can you take Jadeite to your place and get him
some other clothes? Those aren’t exactly appropriate for this time.
C’mon Luna. We’ll see you later.” Serena left Amy and Raye to deal with
Jadeite. She had too much on her mind right now.
Back in the alley, Raye and Amy helped Jadeite walk for awhile, until
he was sure he could walk by himself. Amy turned off a few blocks later.
Jadeite looked at a billboard.
“Raye? Is that how I’m supposed to dress?” he asked. The billboard was
an advertisement for some big fashion company.
“Basically, yes. Why do you ask, Jeff?” Raye looked at him, wondering
what he was doing. Jadeite- I mean, Jeffery closed his eyes, and soon he
was wearing what the man on the billboard was, but a bit more casual.
“Very cool, Jeff. Let’s go. I’m sure my Grandpa won’t mind you staying
at the temple, if you don’t mind helping out with some of the chores.”
“No problem. I can use my magic without transforming, so I’ll get some
things done quickly.” Jeff grinned a grin. It was the same one that he
had smiled at Serena. Raye had a feeling that she was going to like this
guy. She also got a feeling that he liked to have fun. They reached the
temple to discover that Raye’s grandpa had gone on a vacation for awhile
to visit with his sister. Raye remembered that she was supposed to be
home earlier. ‘Oops.’ she thought. ‘Oh well, Grandpa will be glad I have
help.’ She showed Jeff a room that he could stay in. Then she left him
to fix it up and do whatever.
Well? Longest one yet, huh? Oh well. Like my ideas? I decided that since
the generals are brainwashed they won’t remember what happened after the
Silver Millennium. See ya!
