Hello to you all. This is part b of ch. 2. When we left off, Serena,
Molly, and Darien just left the Arcade, and are about to start walking
to the Temple.
Usual disclaimers apply
Enjoy!!
Legend of the Excaliber: Ch. 2b - The Meeting
The arcade doors just closed behind them, when Serena’s
communicator went off, making sure no one was around first, "Serena
here."
Sailor Mar’s face filled the little screen, "Serena, we got a
Negaverse general here at the temple. Get your butt over here."
"We’re on our way," Serena closed the link, and she, Darien,
and Molly went into a near by ally.
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER."
"EARTH STAR POWER."
Darien took out a rose.
"You two run for the temple as fast as you can. I’m getting
there by faster means," Serena said before she shouted, "GALAXY
GLIDER." A floating board with a mini jet engine on its back appeared
and Serena got on before she mentally commanded it in to the air, and
raced off to the temple at high speed.
"Well, you heard the lady. Lets get going," was all Sailor
Earth could say before she and Tuxedo Mask raced to the temple on foot.
"MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND," Rings of fire shot out of
Sailor Mars’s hands and hit the general hard.
General Viper screamed in pain before he said, "You’ll pay for
that Sailor Brat."
"JUPITER THUNDERCLAP ZAP," Sailor Jupiter sent an attack at
the general, but he quickly dodged it.
"MERCURY ICE STORM..."
"VENUS LOVE CHAIN...."
"SPLASH.'
"ENCIRCLE."
A frozen love chain charged at Viper and wrapped itself around
him. All his efforts to get out almost failed but he managed to
teleport out of it and appeared behind Sailor Mars.
Amy shouted, "MARS, BEHIND YOU."
Ray turned to see the nega general about to attack. She
froze, too scared to move, before something hit the general in the
back of the head. He fell down to his knees, holding back of his
head, and turned around to see Sailor Moon on a floating board. He
got up and sent a blast at Sailor Mars just enough to knock her out.
"SAILOR MARS!!!! Your going to pay for that Nega-trash. I’m
Sailor Moon Champion of justice, and on behalf of the Moon. I will
right all wrongs, and triumph over evil. And that means you. MOON
SCEPTER ELIMINATION," Sailor Moon let loose her attack, after she got
off her board, but the general just put his hand in its path and, when
it hit his hand, deflected it, and it hit Sailor Mercury. She fell
down, not moving, "AMY!!!!!"
"Now it your turn Sailor Moon," with that he began to through
another attack but he was hit by an electrical chain, from Jupiter and
Venus, "Oh, I forgot about you." He sent two attacks at Jupiter and
Venus and both fell down, not moving as well. he turn his attention
to Sailor moon and was about to attack when five voices shouted out
from the night.
"TORNADO STORM BLAST."
"WORLD SHAKING."
"DEEP SUBMERGE."
"DEAD SCREAM."
"DEATH RIBBON REVOLUTION."
All five attacks, plus a rose, hit General Viper hard and was
now on his knees in pain before Sailor Moon tried an experiment of her
own, and attacked. "MOON SCEPTER ELIMINATION," after she sent her
scepter attack, she took her Tiara, "MOON TIARA MAGIC." Both her
attacks combined and hit Viper.
He managed to get to his feet, "There will be a next time
Sailor Moon. Count on it." With that, he teleported away.
When he got to King Onix’s thrown room, the King was not in a
good mood, "General Viper, you also failed me today. Why did you
delay your search at that temple?"
"I detected a strong power source in a different part of
Earth. I decided to investigate it, but found nothing. I’m sorry
your majesty," Viper was now bowed expecting his punishment.
"Consider yourself luck today, Viper. First thing tomorrow, I
want you and Maverick to go back to this source and continue your
work. What part of the Earth is it coming from," Onix asked.
"A town called London, in a country called England," Viper
answered.
"You are dismissed," the King replied, before Viper turned to
leave.
Serena had been at it for minutes, and the inner scouts would
not wake up. Molly walked up to her and asked, "So how do we wake
them up?"
Serena drew a grim look, "I don’t........" Suddenly, an idea
came to her, "I got it." she walked up to Amy, to make sure she heard
her when she said, "Hi Greg, Amy is over here."
Amy shot up and quickly turned her head left and right, with a
blush coming to her cheeks, 'Where is he?" Then noticed that Serena
tricked her.
Serena had to hold her laughter, "Sorry Ames, but I’ve been at
this for minutes, and didn’t how else to get you up, don’t worry, the
other get the same trick," she walked to Jupiter next, "Hay Lita, does
he look like your old boyfriend?"
Lita shot up and looked around, "Where? Where’s that guy that
looks like my old boyfriend?"
Serena giggled, "Get up and power down." Amy and Lita changed
out of Sailor form and Serena went to Mina next, "Hay Mina. There’s a
cute guy coming over here. I think he wants to ask you out."
Mina shot up, "Where? Where’s that cute guy? Serena, don’t do
that."
"Sorry Mina, but I could not get you to wake up till now,"
Serena apologized before going to Ray, "Why sure Chad, we’d love to
hear you sing."
Ray shot up and shouted, "CHAD NO SINGING."
By this point, Serena lost control, and fell down to the
ground, clutching her chest and laughed very loudly. After a few
seconds, everyone else joined in on the laugh, even Ray, who was starting
to blush. After a few minutes of laughing, they all went into the
fire room, and Serena introduced Molly as Sailor Earth, and gave her
details of what happened through out her day. Darien, Molly, and the
outers added their pieces of the story as well. Luna interrupted the
conversation, "Sorry to interrupt, but Amy and Ray called this meeting
for a reason," after everyone settled down, "Alright you two, so
what’s this about?"
Amy spoke up first, "My computer detected something unusual in
London, England. A strong energy source has only recently appeared
there, it could be either the Nega verse, or something else. I don’t
know what it is."
During Amy’s speech, Mina went paler by the second,
"Di....Di.....Did you just say London? As in my home turf, London?"
Amy nodded her head in response.
Artemis looked at Mina, "Your worried about Katarina, and
Alan, aren’t you Mina?" Mina only nodded her head. This got the
others curious.
Serena was the first to speak up, "Who’s Katarina, and Alan,
Mina?"
"They were my only friends while I was in London as Sailor V.
As far as I know, they still think I’m dead. On my last night as
Sailor V, I managed to jump out of a burning Warehouse, before it
exploded. Katarina and Alan didn’t see me jump out. I had a crush on
Alan at the time, and I was about to come out from behind some crates
when to two kissed each other. At first I was heart broken, but knew
they were perfect for each other. So I let them be and decided to
tell them I’m ok in the morning. But in the Morning, I was told to
pack for Japan, and my family and I moved out of London on a plane
that night, and I never had a chance to even phone Katarina, and Alan."
Serena was confused, "So why didn’t you call them when you
came to Tokyo, or write them?"
"Because I forgot their phone numbers, and their addresses,"
Mina said sheepishly.
Luna cut in, "If this source in London is not from the
Negaverse, chances are they will investigate it. Either way, we
should assume, the Negaverse is now in London. Tomorrow we will
teleport there and do some investigating of our own. Mina, because of
your contacts there, I want you to see what they know. The more
information we have the better." Mina agreed, and Luna continued,
"Now, Ray, you said you had something to add." Every eye in the room
was now on her.
"Yes, apparently, the battle yesterday, and at the stadium
this afternoon, were meant as diversions only," Everyone was wide eyed
and Ray continued, "The Negverse General we say today attacked a sword
shop on the other side of town from the park yesterday. He demanded
to know where the Lunar Excaliber was, and when he didn’t find it, he
drained everyone’s energy that was in the shop, and left. I found
this out in a fire reading I did last night."
Molly spoke up, "Ray, you got the ability to sense nega vibes
too, right?"
Ray was wide eyed, "Molly, you have that ability also?"
Serena spoke up, "Ya, apparently, not only can she detect
Nega-crepes, but she can pick them out in crowd. At the game, Molly
identified an official at the visitor’s bullpen to be a Negaverse
Youma, and we were on the very top row of seats in the stadium."
Artemis said, "Well that might come in handy at London
tomorrow."
"Yes, I agree with you there, Artemis," was Luna’s reply. The
meeting was adjured and everyone went to their homes, except Darien,
who went with Molly back to OSAP. He had something to take care of
there.
When Molly, and Darien went into OSAP, their mother was just
starting to close up shop, "Hi, Molly, how was the game? Darien,
sorry but Serena isn’t here."
"The game was great Mom, and Darien isn’t here to find
Serena," Molly said.
"Then why is he here, sales are closed for the day, unless the
two of you are see each other," Mrs. Baker said in a tone that said
you better not be.
"Mother, why would I want to date my own brother," Molly
asked.
‘THUNK’
Mrs. Baker fainted, Darien and Molly, managed to get her
to wake up. After a fabricated story about how they found out, that
Molly, and Darien are brother and sister, the little family went into
a three way hug. Mrs. Baker was just so glad to have her missing son
back in her life, and the family went to the dinning room where they
talked well into the night.
Serena was very tired by the time she and Luna got home. She
was about to go upstairs to bed when her mom called out, "Serena, you
got mail."
Serena ran into the living room in a trail of smoke, and
grabbed the letter from the coffee table, "Your kidding, right?" At
Ellen’s shack of the head, Serena ran upstairs to read the letter,
hoping it was from who she thought it was from. When she opened it,
and read it, she shouted for joy, "YES!"
This got Luna curious, "What is it Serena?"
"An old childhood friend of mine is moving back into Tokyo
soon. He and I are the same age, on the same birthday, and his name
is Travis Solaris. He’ll be here in a few days, and right now, he’s
in London. We might bump into him," was Serena’s enthusiastic reply.
She read the letter out loud;
Dear Serena,
How’s it been old friend. I got great news. My dad just got
transferred again. The good part to this is he got transferred to
Tokyo, on a permanent bases. So you and I will be able to catch up
with each other face to face in just short time. See you soon.
Signed,
Travis
