I am the same StromDakth mentioned at the end of 'Identity Crisis'
I have been relatively uninterested with anime until a couple of
months ago when my friend, Wolfbyte aka Solar, began writing his
stories. I am an avid reader with an active imagination and was
unable to resist the temptation to continue with his work. This story
is primarily written by me but with aid from Solar/Wolfbyte so forgive
me if this story is rather patchy and incomplete. This also mainly an
introduction for my new character and so don't be surprised if it
isn't very complex.

Chapter 3:
Jason stood on top of the building staring down at the Sailor
Scouts giving their usual 'Champion of Love and Justice' speech to a
group of terrorists. "They've got to get some new lines." He tried
not to hog their spotlight so he had chosen to just watch unless
something happened.
"Solar." Jason looked around in surprise. The roof was empty.
Only shadows thrown by the full moon high in the night sky.
"Not again." He had heard the voice five times since they had
seen the black suited figure on tv a month before. Since then the
person had been reported as stopping five other crimes. He didn't
think that it was a coincidence.
[Mirror]
"Don't you start." he said to the crystal. Down below the
criminals had pulled out weapons and were firing them at the Sailors.
The weapons gave off a load whine before discharging a bright blue
beam. The Scouts jumped to the side but the wall behind them erupted.
"A Krell laser! I thought I destroyed all of those!"
With a thought and a bright flash, he was on the ground next to
his friends. "Is this a private party or can any bum join?" One of
the gunmen raised his rifle and fired. Jason easily dodged the blast.
"Everybody's a critic." A second blast was fired which he easily
jumped over. "A simple boo will do.
"Boo." Jason didn't have time to dodge the blast from behind
him. The blast from the hidden man caught him in the shoulder.
"Jason!" Raye yelled. "You'll pay for that! Mars Sniper
Attack!" A flaming bow appeared in her hands with a burning arrow in
the nock. The arrow shot out running the man through.
"You'll pay for that, witch." One of the terrorists yelled
raising his weapon and aiming it. Raye looked around but found that
each of the Sailors was covered by at least one of the terrorists, who
had formed themselves into a small group. "On my mark." the leader
shouted.
Best go for it, Raye thought "Mars.."
Suddenly, behind the men, appeared the ghostly sailor.
* * * * *
Lita stared at the tall, blacksuited sailor behind the
terrorists. She watched as he raised his arm. With a bright flash a
column of energy formed around his forearm. He tapped on one of the
men's arm, causing him to twist toward the white skinned man. The
energy formed into a large bat which he swung into the side of the man.
The blow threw the criminal into two of his compatriots. None were left
conscious. "You're out." he shouted.
The remaining seven turned but found only empty air. The new
sailor reappeared beside another terrorist and smashed a fist across
his jaw, rendering them unconscious. Before he had fallen the
blacksuited fighter had delivered a kick across a fourth mans back,
throwing him into a wall.
"Mars Celestial Fire Surround" Lita turned and watched the flame
shoot out at one of terrorists, crumpling him.
Not wanting to be out done Lita perform her own attack "Jupiter
Thunder Crash." The bolt of energy smashed into one of the terrorists,
throwing him through a building wall.
Both watched as the white skinned fighter walked up to two of
the terrorists. Both fired but he easily dodged their hurried shots.
He
reached and grabbed the rifles from the terrorist. "I'm afraid this
model has been recalled." He pulled the rifles from them and smashed
them across their owners faces.
"Solar Wind Gust." The final terrorist flew over the
blacksuited warriors head and into a wall.
The stranger turned and approached the injured Jason. Raye was
kneeling next to her fallen husband. Lita grabbed his arm "Don't,
Mars is very protective."
"I only want to thank him." he said. He turned to her. His
black eyes stared straight into hers. He just stared for several
seconds before his face broke into a wide grin. "But thanks for the
warning, Pretty Lady."
Lita blushed. She hoped that he couldn't see it. He was
awfully cute.
Still smiling the black suited fighter walked up to Jason and
Raye. He knelt down next to the couple. "Thank you, Solar."
Jason started. "How do you know me? I've never been reported
on."
[Jason Mirror, Me Mirror]
"Would you stop that." Jason yelled at the crystal.
"I doubt it." the black fighter said.
Jason started again "You heard it?"
"Yes, can't everyone?"
"I've heard it once but I'm the only one." Raye answered.
"Interesting. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for saving me."
the20
white and black warrior said.
Jason shrugged. "You saved mine. Turn about is fair play."
The black suited warrior stood up. "Wait. You didn't answer my
question."
"No, I didn't." he sighed, "I don't know how I know, you I just
do. You just seem familiar." Funny, he seems familiar to me, to.
"Well, I'd love to continue this but as you can see" Jason
indicated his shoulder wound "I have pressing matters to attend to."
"So I see. I will see you later." he turned and began to walk
away.
"How did you learn to fight like me?" Jason blurted out.
The black suited fighter stopped in his tracks. He slowly
turned to face Jason. "I did not learn to fight like you. I learned
it, long ago from.... an old teacher." He smirked. "Only one man ever
matched me at it. A man named Jason Grant. I don't know where you
learned it but I certainly didn't steal the technique from you." He
turned and began to leave again. A large black hole appeared before him.
"Cameron?" Jason whispered. The man in black stopped again.
This time he didn't move for almost a minute.
"Jason?" He returned to Jason's side and bent down. He raised
his hand and one finger erupted with lightning, illuminating Jason's
face. "It is you."
* * * * *
Jason lay on the bed in Lita's apartment. "You need to learn to
watch your back, honey." He smiled at Raye.
"Why should I when I have you to do that?" He reached up and
pulled her down so he could kiss her. Their kiss was accompanied by
their usual fireworks.
"Whoa! Now that is impressive." Cameron stood smiling in the
doorway wearing his black costume.
"Thanks, but do you think you could leave us alone for a
minute?" Jason responded.
"Sure." Cameron stepped out closing the door behind him. As he
was walking away he could head a distinct "Now where were we?" from
the otherside of the door. He smiled as he entered the living room
where the other Scouts were with two cats.
"So how long have you known Jason?" Mina asked trying to start a
conversation. The others started to giggle.
"I've known him for, I think, sixteen years" Cameron answered, a
bit confused.
"And I've known him eighteen years." Jason said as he walked into
the room.
"What are you talkin' about?" Cameron asked.
"Didn't the Queen tell you?" Jason queried back.
"No. We think she, her daughter, and her guards know but she
doesn't tell anyone else."
"The Queen sent me back in time six years." Jason answered.
It took Cameron a second to answer, "That explains how you got
to be my age."
"It is rather shocking, isn't it?"
"Very."
Then Jason frowned, "But I should be two years older?"
"Don't look at me. I have no ideas about it." Cameron stated, then
looked at their other companions "You think I could get those
introduction now?" he asked.
"Oh, right. Well, first this is Sailor Mars," he indicated the
raven haired woman supporting him, "also known as Raye Hino and my
wife."
"Wife?" Cameron turned in mock shock. "You married
him?" he asked Raye.
"Yes. And we are both very happy." Raye answered with a smile.
Jason continued, "This is Mina," Mina smiled at him and reached out
to shake his hand. He took it happily. "Sailor Venus, or Sailor V in
France."
"Charmed."
"This is Amy or Sailor Mercury. The brains of the
organization." The blue haired girl smiled at him. He smiled back.
Cameron walked over to Lita and took her hand, "And who is this
lovely lady?"
"Loo..loov" she shook her head trying to get control,
"Liii...Lii." She couldn't believe it. A handsome young man and she
has to turn into the school girl from hell.
"The tongue tied brunette who's hand you have is Sailor Jupiter,
Lita." Jason said smiling at his friend.
"Enchanted." Cameron said, bending down and kissing her hand.
He held the hand for a moment before letting it fall to Lita's side.
He then walked over and looked at Serena for a moment. "And who's the
spaghetti-haired meatball head?"
"Spaghetti-haired? Meatball head?! How dare you call me a
meatball head!" She jumped up and charged the blacksuited Cameron.
"Uh oh." He was off like a shot down the hall with Serena in
hot pursuit. The others couldn't help laughing. Serena ran into the
bedroom at the end of the hall. "What riled her up?" Everyone jumped
as Cameron stepped out from behind Lita.
"Take a wild guess?" Jason laughed. They could still hear
Serena down the hall searching for Cameron. "That was Serena, the
Sailor of the Moon."
"Got kind of a temper, doesn't she?"
"You better believe it." Mina laughed.
"What do you call yourself?" Amy asked.
"DarkStar."
"By the way," Jason asked, "can you de-transform or something?"
Cameron looked down at his black body suit and ghost white skin.
"Of course I can, can't you guys?" Cameron pointed out all the
Sailor uniforms they were still wearing.
"Sure, here." Jason's black suit faded into his pants and
sweater. The headband vanished and the crystal floated down, and
formed into his pendant.
"Cool effect. Here's mine. Now I'm DarkStar.." The black suit
formed into a liquid on his skin and pulled itself into jeans and a T-
shirt. The man who stood in front of them looked essentially the same
expect for tan skin, jet-black hair, and shockingly blue eyes. Around
his neck he wore a crystal exactly like Jason's except for color. His
was black. "Now I'm Cameron Drake."
"Very strange." Amy commented. "Almost as weird as watching the
Starlights transform."
Cameron turned to her in confusion, "What are Starlights?"
"Our turn." Raye said. Cameron watched as the four girls de-
transformed.
"Nice." He smirked at the four girls, a lopsided grin of sorts.
"Are you half American like Jason?" Mina asked, indicating his
Caucasian features.
Cameron frowned, "I don't know. No memory of it. But, I look
American so lets just say I am."
Suddenly Serena popped out of the bedroom and caught site of
him. "Uh-oh. Gotta go." He quickly bolted out the door followed
quickly by a still screaming Serena. They all broke out laughing
again.
"Lita, you can close your mouth now." Jason commented to the
gaping girl. She quickly closed her mouth but couldn't help her
blushing.
"Okay, Jason. We now know who he is but what we don't know how
he knows you." Raye pointed out.
"Yeah." said Mina, "Spill it."
"Okay." Jason sat down and relaxed. "I met him on Avalon. He
is from the United States but was brought to Avalon young. I met him when
I arrived there. We became good friends and joined the Queen's service
together. He taught me most of my techniques and my fighting style.
During our final year, about a year before I came here he was pulled off
for some sort of special training. I never say him again until last
night."
"Did you ever find out what happened to him?" Lita asked still
staring off into another world.
"No."
Suddenly the door burst open and Cameron came running in. He
quickly shut the door behind him and locked it. He let out a breath
and collapsed into a chair. Finally he gasped "Doesn't she ever give
up?"
______________________________________________________________________
Can I see a second show of hands on that question, does Serena
ever give up? I didn't think so and from the number of arms I'm
seeing you seem to agree with me.
And Avalon has made a reappearance, but then if you haven't read
Wolfbyte's later stories (Six years out of Tokyo & Identity Crisis) you
wouldn't know about Avalon's importance to Jason and now Cameron.
I'm now trying to get him to put up the stories but he's busy
rewriting Sailor of the Sun and For Her Friends. If he doesn't post
them soon I'll be sure to put them out for him.
