*** HotShot For An Ally ***
************************

All the Scouts (in their human form), except Serena was sitting around at the Cherry Hill Temple. A bad feeling came over Rei. It was one of those feelings when you know that something wrong has happened, but you just can't tell what it was.

"That's strange," she said.

"What," asked Mina.

"Well, a bad feeling washed over me. I can't pinpoint it, but I can't shake it either."

"This sounds serious," said Artemis.

Suddenly, Rubeus came out of nowhere and floated over the small group. He laughed evilly then said, "Silly Scouts, with the help of some technology we have captured Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. If you even care about them, you'll have to find them. I'll tell you this, the only way to find them is through a portal in a different continent. But be warned I found an ally that is very powerful indeed. In fact I got him from one of your so-called video games."

Rubeus left the same way he appeared. Luna decided that the Scouts needed a little more help and told them that she'll be right back.

**********

Somewhere in California, a teenaged genius tinkered with a project that she was working on for the past month. She has short sky blue hair, blue-grey eyes and is of a medium build. Normally it'd only take two weeks at most for any of her projects to come to fruition, but this project took longer. It would allow a person to play any hand held game cartridge in color and in an arcade game style. She popped in "Kirby's Dream Land 2" to try it out.

'Success!' she thought. The main character definitely looked better as a pale pink marshmallow with two hands, two feet and a face, than like who knows what on a two tone screen. There was a definite improvement in Kirby's sidekicks (Coo the owl, Kine the fish and Rick the hamster) as well. After forty-five minutes of continuous playtime, she turned it off. As she did, there was a big flash of light in the monitor.

"I'm gonna have to fix that," she said to no one but herself.

She turned around to get some tools. While she did, the flash filled the whole screen and four 3 1/2 foot familiar creatures popped out.

"Fix what?" the leader of the group said.

Surprised she jumped and screamed, "AAHHH!" She turned and looked at who talked to her. "W-Who are you?!"

"Who am I? You just played me on that game thing you made and now you're asking who I am?"

"Kirby? I thought that you where just a game."

"Well, I'm not any more. I guess I'm more than that now. I'm also guessing that you already know my sidekicks, Coo, Kine and Rick."

"Yeah, I know. I'm Terrie...Terrie Clothe."

Kirby then realized that instead of using enemies as tools, that he had an utility belt that hid into himself.

"I have a feeling that King Dedede is also in this world somewhere...." Terrie said.

"Yeah me too," said Kirby. The rest of his group nodded their heads in agreement. "If that's true, we are going to have to find him before he gets into trouble again. Look, if you need me..." he said as he gave her a small pouch tied to an umbrella. "Press the clicker switch in the pouch once. The umbrella is to fend off enemies and to float easily down from a high place. It has instructions in the pouch."

As the foursome left, she read the instructions for the umbrella.

Terrie started wondering where her best friend, confidant, and Jack Russell terrier, Alpha was. The thing about him was that he always seemed to be gone about this time every other day.

**********

Meanwhile back in Tokyo a cat like figure sat at the only lit arcade game in the closed video arcade.

"Central Control, come in. This is Luna. Password: The cat that chases his tail, leaves a circular trail. We could use some help here."

"We have located an ally in California, USA Although she doesn't know it yet..."

"Then how do we know she's an ally?" interrupted Luna.

"We have a contact that lives with her. We just recently was able to get through to him via a computer at a local library. The contact knows more about this person than us at Central Control, so we'll let him tell you."

"What's his name?"

"He is known as Alpha."

**********

"I hope he gets home soon. I can hardly wait to tell him what happened."

"Well, wait no more, because 'Lucy, I'm home.' "

Terrie didn't turn around, but she said, " 'Lucy you've got some 'splaining to do'. Who's there?"

Terrie used passwords for just in case some one wanted to interrupt, but didn't want to get in the way.

"What? Ya don't recognize yer own talking Jack Russell terrier when ya hear him?"

"Talking Jack Russell terrier? I didn't think dog's could talk..." she turned around and saw Alpha sitting there on a high stool. "Okay, I can wake up now. First my favorite game characters pop out of my project, and now my dog is talking."

"It's no dream. Terrie, the Sailor Scouts need your help."

"Wait a minute... Sailor Scouts as in THE Sailor Scouts? The ones that I see on the news all the time because they are saving the world from the Negaverse?"

"Yes the one and only Sailor Scouts. What did you mean that your favorite game characters popped out of the project?"

Terrie told Alpha about Kirby, his sidekicks, the umbrella, King Dedede and how the foursome went looking for him.

"How long have you been talking?"

"Since the silver millennium. There just was no need for you until now. The reason that I've been gone every other day is because I've been looking for a way to contact Central Control. I was finally able to find a way."

Then he updated her on what he learned from Central Control.

"Do you know the un-transformed names of the Sailor Scouts so when I go looking for them I would know who I am asking for?"

"No."

"What about pictures?"

"Sorry." Alpha said blushing as only a dog can.

"What a dog...." She then started. " What am I going to do? Do I have any transformations, powers or anything?"

"You are to be known as HotShot and have the power of Planet Hollywood. Toss me my special semi-precious jeweled pillow that I had when you got me."

She tossed Alpha the pillow. He tossed it up in the air and said, "Yo, pillow, extract sunglasses."

A magical burst of light came from the pillow. As the light faded the pillow was on the floor with a pair of black framed blue lens sunglasses on it. It had two different symbols. One was the Planet Hollywood logo and it was on the right side of the sunglasses. The other was the Mercury sign and it was on the left side. There was only one problem. One of the lenses was cracked.

"Oh, no. You can't transform with it broken like that."

"What are we going to do?"

"I dunno, but we shouldn't loose sleep over it. Lets go to bed. Maybe we can think better in the morning."

They then went to bed.

**********

Somewhere in the land of the dead and the home of the gods.....

"Serenity? Serenity?? Where are you?"

"I'm over here, Hermes. What's wrong?"

"I've got some good news, bad news and some really bad news. Do you remember my second little child?"

"Yes. Hotspot, right?"

"Close. Her name is HotShot. Anyway, the good news is that she was found on Earth."

"That's wonderful news. Where is she?"

"She's in California. The bad news is that the others need her, but the only way she can help is not possible until her transformation sunglasses are fixed."

"Oh, dear."

"What tops the cake is that the Negaforce has caught your daughter, and Prince Darien."

"I wish we could do something, but...."

"I think I know of something," interrupted Selene. She had been listening in for the past couple of minutes.

"How?" asked both concerned parents.

"Well, you could try dream communicating."

"Why, of course. Selene, you're beautiful. Uh, how do we do that?" asked Hermes.

"First things first. You'll have to wait until your desired target either rests or meditates."

"Will it be possible to contact more than one person at a time?"

"Yes, but for a very short time. Unfortunately you'd only be able to contact no more than four people and they'd have to be near each other. But I am willing to also let one of you to pass trough the portal for a very brief time."

"I'll go," Hermes said. "It'll take longer if they were to use a mail delivery system. Right now they need all the help they could get. I'll visit HotShot."

"I think I know who to dream contact." Serenity replied. She decided she would contact Rei, Mina, Lita, and Ami.

**********

A flash of light nearly filled Terrie's whole bed room. It shrank enough to make a three feet wide by five feet high portal.

"What's going on now?" wondered Terrie groggily waking up. She got up to look as Hermes stepped out of the portal.

"Hello, my young one. It's been to long since I saw you last. I haven't seen you since the Silver Millennium and that's when you only came up to my knees."

Terrie look down and noticed his shoes.

"Hermes, right? You know me? What are you doing here?"

"I've come to do what any parent in their right mind would do. I've come to help you. I can fix those sunglasses so you can be HotShot once again. Your sister and the other Sailor Scouts need help."

"Sister? Let me guess...According to mythological history, you are connected to the planet Mercury some how. So your telling me that Sailor Mercury is my sister from the Silver Millennium?"

"Yes."

"Then how come I have powers related to Earth instead of Mercury?"

"Well, Berryl attacked while you were still young and you were in California on Earth on a trip with your mother. It was speculated that your mother made an ice bubble around you and Alpha, so that you may live long enough to survive. Then Queen Serenity, with her last ounce of strength sent all the children to the future on Earth. There was a reaction that happened when the Silver Imperium Crystal caught up with the surrounding ice bubble. It some how connected the present to the past. Your Mercury powers were not fully formed so we set your sunglasses up to find you a new source of power because your sister would have complete control of her powers. I guess the sunglasses found you the power of Planet Hollywood. It happened so fast that it must of cracked when you were sent to the present and the hole was sealed."

"Wait a minute...I might be rusty with my mythology but aren't you supposed to be a god? Doesn't that make me and her immortal?"

"I, well, um....am a god but that's mythology. No you and Sailor Mercury aren't immortal. Your mother was mortal so you two were/are mortal."

"So, 'Dad', does Sailor Mercury know about me? Does that make me a princess too, or am I just a protector of the throne? Do you know her reborn name or the reborn name of the other Scouts?"

"No I don't know and when I leave I don't think Selene would be willing to let me go through the portal again. Your sister doesn't know yet, but soon enough she will. Queen Serenity is doing a dream communication with her and three others. You'll always be a princess. Not only just to me. You currently are to protect your sister, but if the inevitable happens..."

"Let's not think about inevitable right now. I have no plans of filling her shoes."

"Right. Please hand me the sunglasses." He was handed the sunglasses, quickly fixed them and handed the sunglasses back to Terrie. "I've got to go because my time is limited, but I am sure Alpha can tell you how to use them well. Good bye, Terrie. Take care of her, Alpha."

The Jack Russell terrier nodded as Hermes went through the portal and the portal closed.

"We might as well stay up since we were going to wake up in an half hour anyway."

"To power up, hold the pair of sunglasses up and say, 'Lights, Camera, Action." To power down say, 'And that's a wrap.' Since you've got the resources of Planet Hollywood, you can use tv show characters, movie characters, and props."

"Light, Camera, Action," she said. She held up the sunglasses as her whole body twirled and changed colors. She put the sunglasses on her face with her eyes looking over the frame. The sunglasses appear to get bigger until it hides Terrie. It explodes and Terrie is wearing a two tone long sleeved dress that changed from teal to purple and back with any movement, the sunglasses, a loose fitting stylish accessory belt and a gold necklace with a Planet Hollywood brooch on it. In the background a directors clapboard is open and gets bigger. It gets close, stops and claps closed as soon as Terrie finishes turning into HotShot.

**********

"What a dream, huh, guys?" Lita exclaimed.

"I had the same exact dream." Ami said.

"Us too," said Mina and Rei.

"I never knew you had a sister, Ami."

"I didn't remember that I had a sister in the Silver Millennium until Serenity reminded me. But my sister was very young, even younger than Rini. Maybe she was sent to a sooner date than us."

"I remember that Queen Serenity said that HotShot is coming here to take us to the continent that Rubeus mentioned." said Rei.

"I hope she knows where it is, because Rubeus forgot to mention it." Mina said.

"That or he didn't say on purpose so it'd take us longer to find it. There are six other continents to think about," said Ami.

**********

As soon as the transformation was done, HotShot left a note on the door stating that she'd be gone for an unknown amount of time. She grabbed the umbrella and hung it on her accessory belt. She then noticed two blue steel balls in a pouch on the belt. They both had the Mercury sign on them. She looked them over and wished that one of them was a ice bubble. It changed to what she wished. She got startled and dropped it. It immediately change back to a ball.

"You know it's going to look weird if you conjure someone up in here then fly off on it's back or something. Just about everyone knows that you only have me."

"You're right." She held up her brooch and said, "Optical, Illusion, Transparencies."

They became nearly invisible. HotShot grabbed Alpha and went up the fire escape. She jumped from roof top to roof top until they got to the edge of the city. HotShot looked down and suddenly was glad to have that umbrella. She used the umbrella, put Alpha down and both ran towards the forest. They found a clearing and HotShot removed the transparency spell.

"Now I can call up some Maximals." She held up the brooch and said, "I call upon the power of Hollywood. Maximals, Appear."

A portal appeared and the maximals came out one by one.

"What's going on?" each one was asking each other.

"Maximals, hear me," said HotShot, calling them to attention. "This world needs your help."

"Why should we believe you," asked Dinobot. "You take us from our base without warning, leaving it vulnerable to attack and expose us to the chance of energon build up."

"Like I said, this world needs you help. Somehow when I took you from your base time there stopped. If you wish, you could go back, but I doubt that a warrior like you would go back. Unless you like just waiting around. Besides there is no energon crystals here," HotShot said.

She explained what has recently happened. No one wanted to go and the portal closed behind them.

"Airrazor and Silverbolt will come with me. The rest of you split up between the six remaining continents to look for that portal. Report in if you find the portal or if something seems odd."

"Maximize only to scan the area or in emergencies. Otherwise stay in beast mode and make minimal contact." Optimus said.

Two hours later, Silverbolt and Airrazor with HotShot and Alpha on her back arrived at Tokyo, Japan.

"Oh, boy. I didn't realize how big this place was." said Alpha. "It might take a while. HotShot, you should get a hotel room or rest at a temple or something. You might have power but your body has gone through a lot. Airrazor, Silverbolt and I could look for the others."

"Fine. How about going down to that park near that temple. I could power down every thing except the necklace. I'll go to the temple to get some rest."

HotShot powered down everything except her necklace so as to keep the Maximals around. She hid her necklace under her shirt and put her sunglasses in a pocket. They split up.

At the Cherry Hill Temple....

"I just felt a powerful force. It is mostly gone but it is still there. I don't think that it is bad or from the Nega Moon though."

Just before anyone could respond, a person walked up.

"I am sorry to bother you, but I have found myself lost and was wondering if I could stay in a spare room. I would be willing to work for it."

'Strange, that energy that I felt seems to be coming from her,' Rei thought. She said, "Sure. Wait here while I find a room."

"Right. Oh, where are my manners? My name is Terrie Clothe," said Terrie as Rei left to look for a room. The three introduced themselves. Terrie very audibly sighed and slumped down onto her knees. "I am not only lost. I can't even find my own sister. I don't even know where to look."

"What is your sisters' name?" asked Ami.

"I have no idea. All I know is that she lives somewhere here in Tokyo. I was with my dog when I came here, but he ran off."

Right when Terrie mentioned her dog, Luna decided to go over and put her paw on Terrie.

"Hello, who are you?" asked Terrie.

"That's Luna." said Mina.

Terrie petted Luna then said, "You remind me of my dog, Luna. Except you are a cat and he is a Jack Russell terrier."

Rei came back. "I found a room."

"Thank you."

Terrie followed Rei towards a room.

"So, where are you from?" Rei asked.

"California, USA This is probably going to sound like a stupid or silly question, but do you know the Sailor Scouts?"

"Depends on who wants to know."

"I do. This might sound weird, but I was sent to Tokyo because I have to look for my former sister who is one of them." Terrie then explained about Hermes mentioning that she was related to Sailor Mercury, that he mentioned Queen Serenity, and that the Sailor Scouts needed her help.

"I know who they are. Here is your room. I shall have them in your room in a little while. But until then get some rest."

"Thanks again, for your kindness and for the room. What is your name anyway?"

"I am Rei Hino." Rei left and Terrie went in and fell immediately to sleep.

Rei ran over to the others.

"Guys, I'm certain that's HotShot. She just doesn't know who we are un-transformed."

"I had the same feeling." said Luna. "Especially when she mentioned that she had a dog."

The group let her get about a hours worth of rest.

"Well, no time like the present to meet up with allies. Mars star power."

"Mercury star power."

"Jupiter star power."

"Venus star power."

The four scouts transformed and went to wake up Terrie.

"Terrie, are you awake?" Mercury asked.

"I am now." mumbled Terrie. "Who wants to know?"

"I do. I am Sailor Mercury."

"And I am Sailor Mars."

"And I am Sailor Jupiter."

"And I am Sailor Venus."

"Mercury? Mars? Jupiter? Venus? Oh yeah...I guess it wasn't all a dream after all. Okay, I'm awake now."

She looks at the Scouts and notices that they look like the four that she met earlier. She asks and they affirm her suspitions. They all went into the room were Terrie rested but left the door open.

"I guess I'll transform too. Lights.....Camera.....Action."

Terrie transformed into HotShot once more. They go outside.

"I hate to break up the party," said a voice. "But, the portal has been found."

HotShot looked for the owner of the voice but to no avail.

"Airrazor, where are you and Silverbolt?"

"I am in a tree and Silverbolt is high enough in the air so as not to be noticed."

"Who is Airrazor and Silverbolt?" asked both Mars and Mercury.

"They are Maximals and fellow do gooders. They are in beast mode right now. They are also t.v. show characters that I had to use along with their friends. Just don't be too surprised when you see Silverbolt though."

Both Maximals glided down to the ground so the four could see them. Everyone but HotShot gasped.

"Airrazor, Maximize."

"Silverbolt, Maximize."

They both turned into their robot form.

"Which continent? Who found it?"

"Rattrap found it in the U.S."

"Of course, leave it to a rat to find things. Any specific location?"

"It's a place called 'Goldies Ark Theme Park.' It's near a Planet Hollywood in San Antonio, Texas."

"I had a feeling there was more than one Planet Hollywood location. Perfect. I could be close to my power source and be helpful at the same time. That reminds me...when will Cheetor and Optimus Primal be here?"

"Two hours at most."

"While we wait we might want to come up with a plan. Is there any way to let the Maximals in on the plans at the same time we discus them?"

"One of us could leave a comm channel open."

"Ok. Let's do it..."

For an hour, ideas came from everyone, but they some how didn't work right one way or another with someone else. Suddenly a plan came to HotShot. Her plan was for her to call the theme park pretending to be a zoologist being on a world tour with five assistants and a moderate group of animals (and two robots...who would believe that there is a dinosaur that is not extinct and a fuzor that is alive) and would like to have the theme park zoo section be a stop on her tour.

She called there expecting a human to pick up the phone, but instead got an animated computer voice saying that the park was closed until noon. They had to get there in four hours.

"Slag, we won't get there soon enough if we don't go now. I should of remembered that there was a time difference of seven hours from here to California and another two hours from California to Texas."

Then Optimus and Cheetor showed up.

"I'm your bot, whatcha got?" asked Cheetor.

"We have to get to Rattrap's location now or we won't make it on time to do the plan."

"That's just Prime."

They left for 'Goldie's Ark Theme Park.' HotShot had tried a couple of times to call the place, but couldn't get through. On the third try she was able to get a live person.

"What do you know, third time's a charm." she said to the others. She set it up with the manager (with a little Hollywood help) to come in the same day.

**********

At the hidden Skybase....

"But how long are we going to wait, Wiseman? Why don't we dispose of the prisoners right now?" asked King Dedede.

"Because when the Scouts decide to give up, we'll be able to get rid of them all in one fell swoop. If we dispose of the prisoners now the whole plan will go up in smoke."

"Dedede is right. We should dispose of the prisoners. The Scouts would be none the wiser."

"Are you questioning my decisions, Rubeus?"

"No Wiseman." Rubeus said, then thought, 'Just your methods.'

In the cell.....

"Serena, are you all right?" asked a very concerned Darien. He had woke up five minutes ago and was now sitting near a semiconscious Serena.

"Huh, wha..." she said groggily. She looked up and saw Darien. "Oh Darien, what happened? I'm scared." She sat up and squeezed him.

"I'm scared too. I'm sorry that I've been pushing you away. It's just that I've been having these dreams that something bad would happen if we were to get close. We were captured by Rubeus. Your transformation brooch and my transformation rose has been taken and the walls are steel. Our only hope is that the Scouts can find a way to get us out."

**********

In the air, on the way to the theme park...

A gust of wind blew HotShot off Optimus. She quickly opened the umbrella and slowed her descent.

"Thank goodness that Kirby gave me this thing." she thought.

She saw Optimus come about to get her when in an instant, everything changed. She had been pulled out of normal space and time. She was in a place that was somewhat familiar like if she was trying to remember a long ago dream.

The first things she noticed was that it was that it was very hot and incredibly bright. She also noticed that the place was in ruins.

"Where am I?"

"You're home, my little princess." a female voice said from everywhere yet nowhere at once.

"Who and where are you?"

"I am your mother. Your first mother. I'm right behind you."

HotShot turned around and saw a 5 ft.4 in. woman with navy blue short hair and a long flowing pale blue dress.

"My first mother? That must mean this is the planet Mercury. I see blue runs in the family. Why did you bring me here?"

"There was something that your father forgot to mention. You have a special computer that brings certain things to life. We use to use it with you when you had an imaginary friend that you wanted to play with. Now it can do more than that since you've grown up some. To get it, grab behind your back and it'll appear."

"I grab it behind my back? You make it sound like it's in sub-space, like the Maximals' weapons."

"If that's how you want to put it then, yes. Your computer floats in mid-air so you could use both hands to work with it and it can only last so long without natural sunlight."

"Did time stop for the others when you brought me here?"

"No. It has only slowed down. They are just now finding out that you disappeared."

"I think it's time I went back to them."

"Yes, good-bye."

In an instant HotShot was back in the world that she was taken from. Optimus caught her and put her back on his back.

"What happened? You disappeared for a few seconds." he asked.

"I'll explain when we land. Optimus. Do you think I can borrow a Protoform pod? I've had an idea for a Maximal for a while and I'll give it back as soon as I'm done borrowing it."

"I not sure I should..."

"Oh come on. Besides that will mean the Maximals will have a better chance of winning the Beast Wars."

"Well, Ok."

The group got to a clearing in a forest right next to the theme park and met up with the other Maximals. HotShot told them what happened. She pulled the computer and a disk out of sub-space. The disk had two different specs on it. One Maximal set of specs and one of her own species.

"I call upon the power of Hollywood. Protoform pod appear."

A portal appeared and out came the pod. The portal closed. HotShot connected her computer to the pod and started downloading the maximal specs she did off of the disk. She unknowingly also down loaded the other specs as well, but the Maximal processor made the other specs dormant. The pod searched the theme park and found the exact animal that the specs and Protoform required. The lid opened and the newly formed Maximal sat up.

"By the matrix..." Rhinox said.

"Greetings Maximals. I'm Eletron." Eletron said. She looked around at the human beings that was there as well. She looked at one in particular. Her core processor brought up information on this one. This was the one who helped her come into existence. Her name is HotShot. Her human name is Terrie Clothe. "HotShot thank the matrix that you helped me become a Maximal. If there is anything that I can do..."

"You can start by going into beast mode."

"Right. Beast Mode."

Eletron turned into an elephant.

"Maximals. I suggest that you all go to beast mode. For those of you who are trans-metal, I'll have to do an optical illusion trick and to put most of you in cages so as not to scare off potential customers."

The other Maximals turned into their beast modes. HotShot did the spell and the trans-metal maximals looked like they did before they became trans-metal. She then called up a vehicle company and convinced them to bring a caravan of cages, and a vehicle to pull them.

The vehicle and caravan of cages came.

"I think that the car and cages should have a logo of some sort on them to make it look more official. I have an idea but I would like suggestions." HotShot said.

"How about Terrie Clothe's African Safari?" asked Sailor Mars.

"But wouldn't that be too convenient to use my name?" asked HotShot.

"Maybe, but the Negaverse/Negamoon scum don't know you even exist yet, let alone your human name." Venus said.

"Yeah, c'mon." said Jupiter.

"Well, okay."

The logo was put up and the Maximals was put into their cages except for Dinobot and Silverbolt. They got loaded into an extra part of the caravan. HotShot produced some outfits.

"Well if we're gonna act official, we might as well *LOOK* official." she said.

They donned the outfits and hid their tiaras in pouches.

"I just thought of something what are we going to do with Rattrap?" asked Lita.

"Yeah what are we going to do about me?" Rattrap echoed.

Terrie looked at him with an amused expression on her face.

**********

At the Skybase....

"Ha. They're at the right location." thought Dedede. "I'll go now and attack. I don't care if it is against Wiseman's plans."

He slipped out of the Skybase with twenty droids and went down to the theme park. Wiseman noticed almost immediately that Dedede left.

"Rubeus, get down there. That fool is going to ruin the whole plan."

"Yes, Wiseman." Rubeus said. "That fool. I should of never got him out of that game. The Scouts would be doing us a favor by getting rid of him."

Rubeus left, going after Dedede.

**********

At The Theme Park...

"Man, I just had to ask." Rattrap complained.

He was trans-metal again. That he was glad about, but he was going around with a sign on his back announcing the arrival of the animals.

"Stop complaining, will ya? You think this is bad? You should try being a human in the late teens riding what looks like an over rated kiddie ride." Terrie said.

"Sorry. It's just that..."

Rattrap didn't finish because right at that moment Dedede appeared. Instinctively Terrie held onto Rattrap with one hand and her still active brooch in the other.

"Freeze Frame." she yelled.

"Woah what was the yelling about?" Rattrap said. He looked around and saw that everything was froze except for him and Terrie. "Never mind. I don't want to know."

"Good because I can't explain it. Get us to the group a.s.a.p."

"Right."

Rattrap sped to the group quickly just as the Freeze Frame spell wore off. The group listened when Terrie told them about Dedede.

"What about Kirby?" Alpha asked.

"Oh yeah." Terrie said then clicked the clicker switch.

Kirby & his three friends came. Soon after that the Scouts transformed and the Maximals maximized. By then the customers that had seen Dedede and the twenty droids had fled the theme park. A fight ensued as soon as Dedede met up with the semi big group of good guys.

Rubeus just watched the battle, not making a move to help Dedede. Several good guys got wounded before Kirby defeated Dedede. Sailor HotShot sent Kirby, his three friends and the unconscious & defeated King Dedede back into the game cartridge from whence they came. Rubeus disappeared with an evil grin on his face.

Sailor HotShot found that Eletron was in very bad shape and was about to go into stasis lock if she didn't get into a C.R. chamber soon.

"Well, Optimus. There's your new Maximal.....Back in capable hands....I hope she recovers soon enough to help defeat Megatron." HotShot said as her eyes welled up with tears. She goes over to Eletron and says, "You'll be ok, you're going back to your original home....Well not exactly original....I don't know where Cybertron is so I can't send you there. Just think, you'll be with your fellow Maximals. We'll always have Goldie's Ark Theme Park."

She turns her head and cries for a few minutes. She doesn't want Eletron to leave but she knows it's for the best. She dries her eyes and opens the portal for the Maximals. Rhinox carries Eletron through first and the others follow through. The portal closed behind them.

"All right now when we get through the portal, I distract Rubeus and you go and find Uh...what was their names?"

"Darien and Serena." said Mars.

"Yea, that's it, Darien and Serena. Now what will distract Rubeus?" said HotShot.

"Itching powder." said Mercury.

"Yeah, but where are we gonna get that?"

Mercury pointed to a shop that had a sign saying that it was having a sale on bags of itching powder. "Over there."

"Perfect." HotShot made a dash over to the shop and hoped that the store keeper wouldn't mind that she borrowed a bag and a pair of gloves so she wouldn't get any on her hands.

She put on the gloves and the group went for the location where Dedede came out of the portal. HotShot then put the transparency spell on herself and the group went through the portal leaving Alpha, Luna and Artemis to reminisce about the old times and to catch up on what happened after they were reborn.

It didn't take long for the four Sailor Scouts to find Darien and Serena.

"You found us!" Serena squealed.

"Yeah, but now we have to find a way to get you out of there." said Jupiter.

"We also have to find Serena's transformation brooch and my transformation rose. Without them, we can't do much more than watch you four."

The Scouts where so happy to find the two that they forgot to mention the newest Sailor Scout or who they had to fight against to get there. Meanwhile, HotShot took her time to find Rubeus in hopes to find anything to find that could be useful. But instead she just found Rubeus.

"Invited by the technological age, I am Sailor HotShot. On behalf of Planet Hollywood I shall punish you."

"What? Where's that voice coming from?" Rubeus asked.

"It's coming from your worst nightmares, dude."

HotShot appeared right in front of him with a handful of itching powder in a gloved hand. She threw on him.

"Bye." She said as she started to turn.

Rubeus grabbed her arm, but let go as the powder started taking affect.

"What's going on? What was that stuff?" he asked as he scratched himself.

"For a person from the future, you sure got a lot to learn about itching powder." she snickered and left, taking off the glove and throwing it on the ground.

At the cell....

"This is going to be tougher than I thought. Logically, this force field shouldn't be possible."

HotShot heard the second sentience as she came running in.

"Ah, but sister, don't you ever notice that the more it seems illogical, the more that the bad guys would use and or do it?"

"How did the powder work?" asked Mars.

"Like a charm. Let's just say that he put the phrase 'Itchy & Scratchy' to good use. But that will only last until he takes a shower. So I think that it bought us another half hour or so."

"Save yourselves. If they catch you, we'll all be done for." said Serena.

"I think I speak for everyone when I say sorry but saving myself is not in my vocabulary when someone like you is still in trouble."

"Who are you?" asked Darien.

"Sailor HotShot, HotShot for short. I'm Mercury's sister in a formal life. Everyone must of been too busy trying to free you that they forgot to mention me. Oh well. I might know of a being that may be able to help get through the steel, but it might take just a little longer that planned."

"Do it." Everyone said.

"Sheesh! You'd think that I'm a miracle worker or something."

HotShot went straight to work.

"It's a good thing I have her info on a disk."

She grabbed the laptop and the disk out of sub-space, knowing that it won't last long and that she would have to work fast.

"Sub-space. You know I love it."

She inserted the disk and the laptop came online and started floating. She typed furiously. A form started take place right in front of her. The form was of a half-human, half-cat gargoyle being.

At the time, Rubeus had stopped scratching long enough to deploy some droids. They attacked without warning.

"Jupiter thunder clap zap!" Jupiter said. A lightening rod came out of her tiara. A ball of lightening formed and she sent it towards two droids. It totally destroyed the first one but the second one adjusted it's shielding and another droid joined the group.

"Man, those droids are as annoying as the Borg."

"Who?"

"The what?" Serena asked.

"The Borg. A single minded group of....Oh never mind. I watch to much t.v. anyway. You four think you could hold them back for all of 10 minutes?"

"Right."

All she had to do was input the beings memory into the head. But as soon she was going to do that, the computer froze.

"Great. Just great. If she don't get her memories/katra in her soon, Tash Maw won't be able to make it."

"Who?" asked Mercury.

"The being that could help us with the wall. Her name is Tash Maw. I made her character a few years ago, and with the help of a local BBS, I was able to develop her, give her a personality all her own, make her a part of me and me a part of her."

Droids started pushing in. HotShot joined the other Scouts in fighting the droids off. She then spun around like a whirlwind and when she stopped she looked old enough to be some ones' granny.

She held up the umbrella that she got from Kirby and started swatting the nearest droid with it.

"Take that you young whipper-snapper." she said as the droid got disassembled. She whirl winded back into her regular self. "Hah, always wanted to do that."

A droid came up behind her and grabbed both of her arms making her drop the umbrella. Another droid walked over and broke the umbrella on the way over to HotShot. It started draining her energy. The others tried to help but they were busy handling too many droids as it was.

Suddenly...

"Kerunch!"

A familiar white boomerang blade protruded through the energy draining droid.

"Eletron?" HotShot said weakly. "I thought you were going to stay with the Maximals..."

Eletron punched the head off of the second droid.

"I was. I may be Maximal in design and nature, but without you I wouldn't be slag. Well, that and I saw the scripts and not a single one of them had me in them. Besides I kinda had a vision when I was in the C.R. chamber. In the vision, you needed me to get Tash Maw there working right."

Eletron pulled her boomerang blade out of the now non-functioning droid and put it back into subspace. HotShot got the remains of the now headless droid off of her.

"By the way," Eletron said opening a compartment and showing a few explosives to HotShot. "Rattrap sends his regards."

In a huddle, Sailors Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and HotShot decided to use all of their powers to stop the droids.

"Venus Love Chain..."

"Jupiter Thunder Clap..."

"Mercury Ice Storm..."

"Mars Celestial Fire..."

"Hollywood Celebrity Spotlight..."

"Encircle!"

"Zap!"

"Freeze!"

"Surround!"

"Dazzle!"

The five energies combined destroyed the droids in the room, making blockades for the hallways.

"Did your vision tell you how I was supposed to use you to get Tash Maw up and running?"

"When you downloaded my specs into my Protoform pod, you also downloaded Tash Maw's specs with it. My circuitry kept her specs but made them dormant so I wouldn't have an logic board identity crisis. In my vision I was in beast mode and laying down next to her and you had a hand on my head and a hand on Tash's head. I'm not sure what that means exactly, but I was hoping you did."

"Of course. It is something that I've seen in a movie that I have seen numerous times. It was a Star Trek movie. The Vulcan Priestess had to get Spock's Katra from Dr. McCoy and back into Spock's own body to save both men. But that was in the movie. This is gonna be tricky."

"Hurry up already." Mars said impatiently.

"Don't rush me or I'll make you into the biggest Odango Atoma in the world."

Mars facefaulted.

"Yeah, so I know some Japanese. You didn't think I'd make it on only one language did you? Now if you don't let me work in peace I'll keep my threat of turning you into a meatball head."

"Beast Mode." Eletron said. She became an elephant again.

"This'll take a while so get comfortable folks. It will take too long to explain the whole procedure so in as few words as necessary....It'll get touchy-feely when I lay my hands on both their heads then I say an incantation then we three speak something or other in the Vulcan language and then the transfer will be complete. Since I'm doing this with an robot wearing an elephant exterior and a being that is half human this is really gonna be hard."

Eletron lays near the dormant form of Tash Maw. Sailor HotShot kneels near the heads of the beings that she had put parts of her life into. She put one hand on Tash Maw and the other on Eletron.

"Your minds to my mind. Your thoughts to my thoughts. Let us three be as one, until the transference becomes all done."

The three spoke in unison and in the Vulcan language. At some point HotShot's and Eletron's eyes closed. After what seemed like an eternity, HotShot removed her hands and all three of them opened their eyes. Eletron got up on all fours and Tash Maw sat up & looked around.

"Hello, Tash Maw."

"Hello yourself. What and where am I?"

"I'm sure that if you search your human generated, computer integrated memory you'll know what you need to know."

"Ah, I see. I'm Tash Maw. A Mewman. A half-human, half-cat being that came in contact with some chemicals that turned me into a Mewman gargoyle."

"Yes. All that time in chat rooms and RPG message boards paid off." HotShot exclaimed. Then she sang the last few lines of the theme song from Weird Science. "From my heart and from my hand, why don't people understand my intentions. It's alive! ALIVE!!!"

The others gave her an odd look.

"Oh, um, sorry. I kinda got caught up in myself. Anyway... Tash, your gonna have to claw through steel. Think you can handle it?"

"Of course. It might take some time doing it solo...."

The sound of screeching steel stopped Tash Maw from completing her sentience. Eletron had silently maximized while the talking was going on and had started trying to tear through the wall using her swords.

She stopped long enough to say, "Who said anything about doing it solo? I'll help. It might dull my blades but they can be fixed or replaced."

As soon as both of them started making the hole the lights dimmed and turned red. A klaxon blared loudly. Eletron's circuitry automatically turned down the sensitivity of her hearing circuits. Everyone but Eletron looked like they had eyes the size of Melvin's glasses and a big sweat drop on the back of their heads. Eletron saw that the group was only surprised.

"I wonder why that alarm went off now." Venus said.

"Maybe because we're tearing down the wall." Tash Maw said.

"Gee. You think?" Jupiter asked sarcastically.

"It could be something else, because if it was the wall, it would of went off when I first dug my swords in."

"Or it could be a delayed reaction." Mercury said.

"Uh, could you can it with the speculation and get us out of here?" asked Darien.

"Right." said the group.

With the noise of the two creating a hole and the klaxon blaring along with the dim red lights, no one noticed Rubeus stepping through a black mirror like portal. Somehow he amplified his voice loud enough to even make Eletron stop.

"You Sailor Simps might have taken the four sisters and made them good but you make it out of this Skybase. Alive anyway. And even if you do find an exit, you'll literally be out of time. We're gonna travel to before you all were Scouts and destroy you."

"And you're telling this because...."

"Dedede was a fool. You defeated him when he wouldn't listen and I..." He turns his head and said in barely a whisper, "am grateful."

The Scouts looked at him and then at each other in disbelief.

HotShot was getting angry.

"You can't take us back because I won't let you. I don't mind being a Scout of a fictitious planet, but because of *you* I had to stop what I was doing, just so I can keel-haul your sorry carcass around."

"Oh, no!" Eletron said.

"What?" asked Mercury.

"He made her mad." Tash Maw said. To Rubeus she said, "You made her mad. You're in trouble now."

"Everyone hide. She's gonna blow a gasket." Eletron says. They went behind a big pile of droid rubble.

"I could be taking care of things back home right now, but no. You had to take a dummy of a bad guy that had some dark matter in him..."

"At the time I thought that he'd be able to help the Nega-Moon." he protested.

"That's just the thing. Just because you have Nega energy in you, you think you can think. You didn't want to do your own dirty work, so you sank low enough to use a kids game bad guy that is as wacko as a three dollar bill and couldn't even do things for himself."

She started glowing as she powered up.

"Here's what I learned from watching a Sayien on t.v. Of course to do it right, I'd have to be a Sayien. But since I'm me, I'll do it my way....better and with some twists." HotShot holds out her hands and shouts, "Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha!"

With the second 'Ha' a ball of energy came out of her hands and surrounded her body. A beam of good energy shot out of the ball surrounding HotShot and hit Rubeus square in the chest, seriously wounding him. As he left through the portal he came in through, the white light that had surrounded HotShot propelled her through the spot that Tash Maw and Eletron was slashing and clawing at leaving a hole into the cell.

Dust and steel shards flew out of the hole. When that settled, The scouts, Eletron, Tash Maw, Serena and Darien met up at the hole and briefly talked.

"I've got a question. Eletron and Tash Maw, how did you two know that she was going to get so explosive?"

"We were both programmed to know when to notice different tones in her voice." Eletron explained.

"Yeah, that and the fact that we are somewhat connected to her in more ways than one kinda helps." Tash added.

"More ways...." Serena started.

"Than one?" Mars finished.

"Yes. Not only are we connected because she created us, but after that mind meld we kinda became mildly telepathic. We can pick up small messages from each other."

They stopped talking and was about to start moving rubble around when they saw a flash. A lone figure stepped out of the bright light. When the flash went away, everyone saw that the figure was Terrie Clothe.

"Terrie? What happened? Why aren't you HotShot right now?" Some of the Scouts asked.

"One question at a time. Funny that I should say time, because I was just talking with the Mistress of time, Sailor Pluto. She managed to pull me out of the way of somewhat certain doom."

"Well? Are you going to tell us what happened or not?"

"I'm getting to it. After that little stunt that I pulled, I was just about to be killed by a extra sharp shard when Pluto pulled me aside. I was stunned that I wasn't dead at the time. Pluto told me that I was to live longer than that because there was only things that I could do that was very important to this time stream. That and she showed me the last few days of the Silver Millennium and what was happening since Luna and Artemis first activated the Sailor Scouts. The reason I'm not powered up right now is I had used nearly all my energy trying to blow Rubeus out of the sky that I passed out and needed to rest. I am mostly well but my powers are off-line until I rest up. In fact the only things I can use right now are these." She shows the two small blue steel balls to everyone. "I was given the suggestion that I use them for the only two people that are missing something."

Everyone looked at Serena and Darien, then looked back at Terrie. Terrie closed her eyes and the balls changed shape. One turned into an icy rose and the other into an icy brooch. She reopened her eyes and handed the rose to Darien and the brooch to Serena.

"Don't worry they won't melt. They just look that they will. They are temporary. For soon we shall find your real transformation things and blow this popsicle stand."

"How do we use these things?" Darien asked.

"When you hold the ice rose up shout, 'Ice Rose Transform.' Serena, for you, hold up the ice brooch and shout, 'Ice Crystal Power, Make Up.' Understand?"

They both nodded.

"Ice Rose Transform."

"Ice Crystal Power, Make Up."

They transformed quickly. Except for what would normally be white is now a light shade of blue, everything about their outfits looked exactly like it would if they were using their own transformation things.

"Cool." said Sailor Moon.

"Cool is right if we don't hurry and find the real transformation brooch and rose. Those things that you're using are unknown sources of power that I hope lasts longer than planned. I never really used them much except in a former life, in which they were hardly under my control."

"What could go wrong?"

"A lot of things. The power source of the balls could give out. I could accidentally wish them to be something else. Need I go further?"

"No." Moon said.

The group of six Sailor Scouts, a Maximal, a Mewman gargoyle and Tuxedo Mask started running towards the center of the Skybase. On the way Terrie started humming 'Blue Moon' to herself. For some reason, Eletron and Tash Maw joined in. The tune was unfamiliar to the Scouts, so Terrie told them about the song and started singing it. Eletron and Tash Maw again joined in but this time as backup singers.

"Blue moon. You saw me standing alone," she sang. "Without a dream in my heart. Without a love of my own. Blue moon. You knew just what I was there for. You heard me saying a prayer for, someone I really do care for. And then suddenly appeared before me, the only one my arms can hold..." The trio stopped singing and slightly bowed. The group quickly clapped. "I kept on thinking of that song since I saw Sailor Moon transform. I almost want to call you Blue Moon until you get back your real brooch and powers back. In fact, I will. It'll be my nickname for you. Hey, almost anything has gotta be better than Meatball Head."

"Your not going to give me a nickname are you?" Tuxedo Mask asked apprehensively.

"No. You've got some nicknames already. Besides I haven't thought about it."

"Good."

"Let's keep going."

The group came upon a sealed door. Sailor Mercury used her computer and found that indeed the transformation things are in there. Unfortunately the floor was pressure sensitive and there was a mini shield surrounding the objects.

"Isn't there a way to disable the shield and the floor?" asked Mars.

"Not at the same time. They are on two separate generators. And it would take too long to come up with two different viruses." Mercury said.

"We should only make one." said Eletron. "I could help write one and put it on a disk, then we open the door and send Tash Maw gliding."

They worked quickly but all was not quiet on the western front. A horde of droids showed up.

"Man these things just don't know when to quit, do they?" Jupiter exclaimed.

"Blue Moon, Tuxedo Mask. I have an idea. Mercury, you'd better come here and let Eletron finish up." The four of them went into a huddle. "Since your powers are temporary and based on my small Mercury power, we'll have to try to douse them out. Circuitry and most liquids don't mix, unless the circuits were made for it. I doubt droids can swim. Since I'm still recovering you three will have to pull this off. We'll start with Mercury's Ice Storm then Tuxedo's Rose Ice Breaker Punch and finish with Blue Moon's Misty Blue Moon Tiara Magic."

"Will you stop calling me Blue Moon?"

"Do you want to be defenseless and get hurt badly?" Terrie threatened.

"No."

"I didn't think so. Now if that don't work, Jupiter will have to try electrocution."

The three in the huddle with any powers what so ever got into position, while Terrie talked briefly to Sailor Jupiter.

"Done!" exclaimed Eletron. Terrie went over to the Maximal and Mewman gargoyle. "Now all Tash has to do is glide over, insert the disk, lasso the transformation things and glide back."

Meanwhile the threesome start the attack.

"Mercury Ice Storm Freeze!" Sailor Mercury yelled.

The droids are frozen solid.

"Rose Ice Breaker Punch!" Tuxedo Mask yells.

A dozen blue roses fly from his hands and break several of the droid-cycles to ice cubes.

"Misty Blue Moon Tiara Magic!" shouts Sailor Moon.

She grabs her tiara and it turns into a blue ice discus. She throws it at the remaining droids and it finishes the droids off leaving a blue mist that dissipates in a few seconds.

Shortly there after the temporary transformation things power down and revert to blue steel balls.

Terrie pockets the balls while Eletron forces the door open. Tash Maw takes the disk.

"Beast Mode." Eletron turns into her elephant form and Tash gets on her back.

Tash then jumps into the room and opens her wings. She lands by digging her claws into the wall. She moves so she is head down and inserts the disk. The computer that runs the shield reads the disk and the virus starts working. In no time the shield is down. She repositions herself again and gets her tail off the thing it was hanging on. She then lassos the brooch and puts it into a pouch, then repeats the procedure for the rose. She hangs her tail back onto the belt. She climbs high enough and glides right out the door. Tash then hands the brooch to Serena and the rose to Darien.

Darien transforms into Tuxedo Mask.

"Moon Crystal Power!" Serena shouts and turns into Sailor Moon.

"Good now that's done, let's blow this Skybase and get home." Terrie says.

"And how are we going to do *that*?" Venus asks.

"First and fore most I check to see if I can power up." Terrie holds up her sunglasses. "Lights, Camera, Action!"

Lowe and be hold she transforms.

"All right! I am back in business. Eletron, we're gonna need an explosive here."

Eletron opens the compartment and hands her one of the explosives. "Here you go."

HotShot sets it to go off in five minutes. She then pops a piece of bubble gum in her mouth and chews quickly. She takes it out and puts it on the back of the explosive. She winds up and throws it at the place where the transformation things was at. The gum binds the explosive to the stand.

"Now what?"

"The Sailor Transport. Duh!!!"

"What about Eletron, Tash Maw and Tuxedo Mask?"

"Tuxedo Mask, you were the Prince of Earth during the Silver Millennium were you not?" HotShot asked.

"Yes, but..."

"No buts about it. Since we have to improvise here. Tuxedo Mask, you'll have to say 'Earth Star Power.' Eletron will say 'Cybertron Star Power' and since Tash Maw's 'planet' is Mearth she'll say 'Mearth Star Power.' I know what I'll say. Sailor Moon, will you start us off?"

The semi-large group holds hands.

"Of course." Sailor Moon says. "Moon Star Power!"

"Mercury Star Power!"

"Venus Star Power!"

"Earth Star Power!"

"Mars Star Power!"

"Jupiter Star Power!"

"Cybertron Star Power!"

"Mearth Star Power!"

"Hollywood Star Power!"

"Sailor Transport." They say together.

In an instant the group is back at the empty Goldie's Ark Theme Park. Sun is setting. A few minutes later they see a big explosion where the Skybase use to be. The group cheers.

"I hate to be a downer but we better figure out how to get you guys home. I'm sure that your parents will be worried by now." Alpha says.

"Alpha's right." Luna agrees.

"Before you go, how will we be able to contact each other? I can't have Alpha looking for ways to contact Central Control all the time."

"What about the Internet?"

"Perfect. We could chat with each other. My handle will be obvious to you guys but others will think I made it up. After all, until I make the scene, no one really will believe that there is a Scout for Planet Hollywood. There is just one thing....there are fans of you Scouts on the Internet, and they like to use handles that shows everyone else that they are. So, what handles are you all going to have?"

"I think our handles will speak for themselves when we make them." Mercury says.

HotShot opens a portal. The group (except for HotShot) powers down and Eletron becomes an elephant once more.

"I guess this means good-bye." Artemis says.

"Not really. It's more like...happy trails to you. Until we meet again." HotShot says. She then steps aside and watches Lita, Mina, Rei, Ami, Serena, Darien, Luna and Artemis go back to Tokyo, Japan.
