Okay, I'm back with the same NA names. Someone complained that

This is confusing, so bear with me okay? I'll leave the translations
here for now.

This takes place after my Jupiter Knight series and isn't
in the Sailor Moon timeline by Naoko Takeuchi. Any resemblence
to anyone living or dead is purely coincidental. (Sorry, I
just HAD to say it. It's so fun to write!) If you want
to read Jupiter Knight, go ahead, then you'll have a better
background with this series. You can get Jupiter Knight
from wherever you found this, maybe. Okay, I'll stop babbling
now. Oh! One more thing, this is Jupiter based, for all you
Jupiter fans. What do you expect? I'm a Jupiter fan. NOW
I will shut up.
UNDER THE MYST
4:
"Jadite!" The three girls and Luna shouted at once.
Luna was the first to think of what to do, "Transform!"
Lita jumped up, "Wait! Don't!"
"Wait? This is Jadite! One of the Negaverse generals! What
do you mean wait?" Rei shouted.
"This is Ken!" Lita said louder, trying to calm everyone
down.
"It's Jadite!" Serena squeaked, she was hectic now. A huge
drop of sweat rolled down her head. Out of all the Negaverse
Generals, this one was the one she feared most.
"No, it's Ken." Lita insisted.
"I'm Ken," Ken told them. He still stood by the doorway.
Luna's ears perked up, "He doesn't sound like Ken. He
sounds like Jadite."
"It's Ken, you guys! Believe me. Who is this Jadite you're
all talking about?" Lita looked at Mina. Mina looked as lost
as she was.
"Are you sure it's Ken?" Ami asked, putting down her
defense stand.
"Yes, it's me, Ami-chan!" Ken insisted. Who was this
Jadite person? Why are they all accusing him of being
Jadite? Wasn't he in Loen's body?
"Okay, I guess it's Ken." Ami said.
"Fine," Luna stated.
Rei sat back down. Only Serena was now still on guard, "How
can we be sure? This might be a trick!"
"Serena, sit down!" Rei ordered.
Serena sat down, sticking her tongue at Rei, "Geeze, you don't
have to be so mean about it!"
Ken sat down next to Lita. Lita looked at him. He still
looked like Loen, so why were they calling him Jadite?
"Who is Jadite?" Lita asked.
"Yeah, who is he?" Mina asked.
Ken looked questioningly at Luna.
"He is, no he WAS one of the early Negaverse generals. He
wasn't any good. On his sixth failure, Beryl sentanced him to
eternal sleep. That was all we heard from him." Luna told
Mina, Lita and Ken, who had not met Jadite before.
"So why did you all scream Jadite?" Mina asked.
"Because look, Ken is Jadite. He is in Jadite's body.
I recognize that face anywhere!" Luna said.
"I'm in Loen's body." Ken corrected Luna.
Serena looked closely at Ken, "No, you are in Jadite's
body. Unless he has an unknown twin."
"No, there are no such things as twins in the Negaverse,"
Luna told them. "They just don't get twins there."
"Maybe somehow Jadite broke free of the not so eternal
sleep." Ami suggested.
"Yes, but that stil doesn't explain why he calls
himself Loen!" Rei exclaimed. She hated when she couldn't
figure things out.
"I know why," Luna said, "When we destroyed Beryl, her
power was gone. Therefore, there was nothing to keep
Jadite in eternal sleep. When he woke up, it was as if
he was first born. He's a whole different person on the
inside, even if he does look like Jadite."
"So what do we call him? Jadite or Loen?" Serena asked.
"We call him toast!" Lita shouted. She was mad at what
he did to Ken.
"Wait, calm down Lita. First we have to know why he
is here. What does he want?" Ami thought out logically.
Ken answered Ami's question, "He needs to get some sort
of heart crystal. He said that the more you get, the more
powerful you become."
"So why does he want your body?" Luna asked.
"I don't really know. He said he needed a distraction
or something." Ken told her.
"I wonder what kind of a distraction...." Rei said.
"So there's a guy with your body walking around. And
he's not you?" Serena finally figured out.
"Yes," Ken said.
"How are we suppose to deal with this? Jadite is back
from the Negaverse. What do we do?" Serena asked.
"I don't know. But I want my body back!" Ken said
angrily. The only thing worse than your enemy looking like
you was when you looked like your enemy.
"We could find Jadite. No, Loen and somehow switch
their bodies. Once Loen and Ken make physical contact, then
the whole thing will be reversed. We can destroy the crystals
and then destroy Loen." Luna planned.
"The only problem is how do we do it? I'm sure
Loen isn't going to idiotically agree with this thing. He
probably has some sort of forcefeild around himself so that
no one could touch him." Artemis said.
"Can you take off the necklace?" Serena reached to
touch the necklace. As soon as she got close enough, her whole
body flew into the wall.
"Owww!" Serena cried.
"Serena, are you okay?" Ken asked. He tried to stop
her but he wasn't paying attention.
"What happened?" Rei asked.
"I don't know! I tried to take the necklace off and
something just pushed me against the wall!" Serena rubbed
her head.
"There's a forcefeild around it. No one can even come
close to touching it," Ken explained.
"I got it!" Ami said.
"Got what?" Luna asked.
"We can aim our powers at the crystal and then break it!"
Luna shook her head, "No. If one of the crystals are
broken, then the person in that body would be lost."
"What do you mean lost?" Ami asked.
"Why can't we go after Loen's crystal and break it, then
he would be lost." Serena said.
"No, because then Ken would never get his body back." Artemis
said.
"This is so hard!" Lita said angrily. There had to be
some way!
Just then, the TV went on. There was a emergency news break.
All of them looked at the TV.
"There had been some sort of monster in Tokyo Theatre. People
are running out by the thousands. We are advised to stay as far away
from it as possible!" The news reporter reported.
"Sounds like Sailor Scout business!" Serena said.
"Let's go!" All the scouts got up, including Ken.
"No, Ken. You stay here. You don't have your powers
yet. It's too dangerous." Luna advised.
"I can't stay here while you guys fight!" Ken insisted.
"Stay here! We don't want you to get hurt!" Luna shouted.
All the others transformed and ran out of the temple.
Sailor Jupiter stopped to give Ken a quick kiss on the cheek before
leaving.
* * * * * * *
By the time they got to the theatres, it was empty. The
police had already abandonned the area, letting the scouts do
their job. Tuxeedo Mask was dodging some sort of lighting coming
from inside the theatre.
"Good......you're here! I've been trying to get inside,
but it's too hard." Tuxeedo Mask said.
The scouts inched closer to the dark door way. Random
objects flew by them. Sailor Moom was about to pick one of
them up.
"Don't touch that!" Sailor Jupiter yelled.
"Why?"
"Because Jupiter Knight had the ability to put lighting into
everything he touches. If you touch it, you would be a charcoal
scout!" Sailor Jupiter explained, "Loen now has Ken's powers
too!"
"Just try to get in. Once we get in, then we'll be able
to tihnk something up. If we find out how powerful he
really is." Sailor Mars said.
The finally got close enough to see inside the theatre. Not
that there was anything much to see. It was pretty dark and
there was a strong wind blowing, trying to keep them from
going in.
All the scouts made a jump for it and made it into the door.
Immediatly, they were blown against the wall by the wind. The
door blew shut, trapping them inside. Luna and Artemis grabbed
on for their lives at a seat. They were being blown away toward
the center of the huge room.
"Where is he?" Sailor Jupiter shouted. The wind took her
voice and made it impossible to hear.
Somehow, the scouts managed to find each other despite the
dark and the wind. They huddled behind a fallen chair.
"What do we do?" Sailor Venus asked.
"We'll just have to wait for the wind to die down." Tuxeedo
Mask answered. He was holding Luna and Artemis.
As if on cue, the wind dissapeared and all was calm. It
was still dark, but there was not a sound.
Loen stopped the wind. His three soul crystals were indicating
that the carrier of the heart crystal was in this room. But
which one was it?
"It's one of those Sailor Scouts!" Loen said to himself.
He looked with his night eyes and saw them huddled inback
of a chair. If only he knew which one was the carrier. He had
to get them apart so he could test each one, but how?
Sailor Jupiter was the first to get up. She got up from the
chair and looked about. There were shadows everywhere, causing her
to jump at every single thing. The others followed her.
Tuxeedo Mask held Sailor Moon's hand, not wanting her to
wander away. This place was dark, people would get lost. Suddenly,
in the middle of the room, a dim light went on.
The scouts got closer to the light. There was someone
standing infront of the light, making it hard to see who. There
was a silhoute of a man in a cape, not Tuxeedo Mask.
"Who are you?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Loen," Sailor Jupiter said loud enough so that only the
scouts heard.
Loen stepped forward, "Why don't I let this be easier. One
at a time, step forward so I can get the heart crystal."
"No way! We don't surrender that easily!" Sailor Mars
said.
"Return Ken's body!" Sailor Jupiter demanded.
"Why should I?" Loen asked, not intimidated at all.
"Because I said so!"
"Ohhh! I'm real scared now!" Loen laughed.
Sailor Jupiter hated him. He was using Ken's body, his
voice to do evil. And it scared her. Behind her, the other
scouts got up, and aimed their powers at him. The were about
to shoot at him.
"No, don't," Sailor Jupiter told them.
"Why not? We outnumber him. Here is our chance," Sailor
Moon said.
"No, you can't. You can't hurt Ken's body. That's what
Loen wants." Sailor Jupiter said.
"Then what do we do?"
"We have to capture him somehow and bring him to Ken," Sailor
Mars thought out.
"I can use my Mercury Bubbles to freeze him. But that will
only give us an hour before the body dies of cold." Sailor Mercury
said.
"Yes, good idea. But first, we have to get close enough,"
Sailor Venus said.
Sailor Jupiter started to walk closer and closer, trying to
see if there was a forcefield around Loen or not. Something
almost invisible would shine every now and then around Loen.
"There is something protecting him," Sailor Jupiter whispered
to the others.
"We have to break it," Sailor Mars said, "Without hurting
the body."
"This is the kind of distraction he meant," Sailor Moon
realized. "We have to hurt him, but not the body."
Suddenly, Sailor Jupiter made a run to tackle Leon. When
she was about a foot away, she felt it. Soaring pain, shooting
up her body. She couldn't move. Then, something shoved her
back and she flew past the other scouts.
"Jupiter!" all of them shouted.
Sailor Jupiter got back on her feet and limped to them.
"Are you okay?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Yeah, the forcefeild isn't as strong as I thought. Still
hurts like hell, though." Sailor Jupiter added.
"We have to make and opening in the forcefeild where
Mercury's power would be able to go through," Sailor Mars
said.
"But if we did manage to make an opening, it would fry
Jupiter Knight's body as well." Sailor Venus said.
"No, the forcefeild is about a foot far from the body.
If all of you combine powers and shoot..." Sailor Mercury
dodged a flaming soda can aimed at her head. She looked again
through her VR glasses to analyze the shield.
"Let's go under there," Sailor Moon and the others
hid under a table as they listened to the plan.
"If you all shoot at his side, the damage would be minimum,
it would heal. That would open up a hole for me to shoot
through." Sailor Mercury continued.
"Are you sure it will work?" Sailor Mars asked.
"There's a chance that Leon might move, and then the
power would hit a vital part of the body. But that chance
is very small." Sailor Mercury admitted.
"Should we?" Sailor Venus asked.
"It's the only logical plan right now," Sailor Moon said.
"Let's do it!" Sailor Jupiter said determined.
"Mercury, you stay down until you're ready." Sailor Mars
said.
"Ready?" Sailor Jupiter got ready to fight.
"On three," Sailor Moon said.
"One...Two....Three!"
"Venus Crescent Beam...."
"Mars Fire Ball...."
"Jupiter Thunder...."
"Moon Ellimination...."
"It's working, just a little more," Sailor Mercury said. She
stood up, getting ready to run to the side and freeze him.
They could all see the powers were doing some damage to the
force field and Jupiter Knight's body.
"Take this!" Loen threw something large and on fire at the
scouts.
The couldn't move. If they stopped now, it would all be
for nothing. Just when the object was inches from them, a
red flash shattered it into small harmless pieces.
Tuxeedo Mask appeared, ready for action. He shattered
everything Loen threw at them, protecting them while they
concentrated on their powers.
"Now!" he said.
Sailor Mercury aimed at the small hole in the forcefield
and shouted, "Mercury Ice Bubbles.....Freeze!"
"No!" Loen didn't realize what they were planning
to do.
Like a statue, Loen stood there frozen in mid-pose in
ice. The forcefield was long gone. Sailor Mercury stepped
up and tapped the ice figure.
"Solid," Sailor Mercury declared.
"Alright! We got him." Sailor Moon cheered.
"How do we get him to my place?" Sailor Jupiter asked.
Loen the Statue obviously looked heavy.
"No, we can't do that. When we re-switch the bodies, it
would be too risky for Loen to know where you lived." Tuxeedo
Mask said.
"Call Ken and tell him to meet us here." Sailor Venus
suggested.
"Okay, but he doesn't have a communicator," Sailor Jupiter
said.
"Use the phone!" Sailor Mars told her.
"Oh yeah, forgot."
Sailor Jupiter found a phone that maracuosly worked. She
dialed her number.
"Hello?" Ken picked it up and said.
"Hello, Ken?" Sailor Jupiter was still not use to the idea
of Ken having any other voice than his own sweet one.
"Lita? Are you okay? Do you need help?" Ken barracaded
her with questions.
"No Ken, it's me, Sailor Jupiter. I'm fine. We're all
fine. We need you to get here, as soon a you can. We have
Loen here, he won't be going anywhere for quite a while." Sailor
Jupiter said.
"Tell him to hurry! We don't have much time," Sailor
Mercury shouted to Jupiter.
"Hurry Ken! Oh yeah, bring something with you too." Sailor
Jupiter remembered.
"What?"
"Go into the bathroom and bring my big blowdryer." Sailor
Jupiter told him.
"Huh?"
"I'll explain when you get here. Hurry," Sailor Jupiter
hung up.
"Why did you tell him to bring a blow dryer?" Sailor Mars
asked.
"You weren't expecting to defrost him with your fire balls
were you?" Sailor Jupiter answered.
"Oh, I forgot." Sailor Mars said.
"So once Ken get's here, we'll switch those crystals and
then they'll be their old selves again right?" Tuxeedo Mask
asked.
"No, first we have to tie Ken up. When they re-switch
bodies, Ken will be in ice and Loen will be free." Sailor
Mercury told everyone.
"What do we have that can hold Leon?" Sailor Mars
asked.
"Venus Love Chain, ofcourse," Sailor Venus bragged.
"Let's hope it works," Sailor Moon said.
Ken got there in half an hour, leaving them about twenty
minutes to get the job done.
"I still don't get why I had to bring the blow dryer," Ken
said while he was getting tied up with the Venus Love Chains.
"To defrost you," Sailor Jupiter told him.
"Okay," Sailor Venus said, "Ready."
"We better hurry," Sailor Mercury checked the time.
Sailor Jupiter plugged the blow dryer in and started to defrost
Loen, only where the necklace was. She wanted it to be able to
take off the necklace and switch it.
"Okay, someone can take it off." Sailor Jupiter said when
she was finished.
Sailor Moon reached in and took off the crystal. Sailor
Mars took off Ken's crystal.
"What do we do?" Sailor Mars asked.
"Touch them together," Sailor Mercury instructed.
They did as they were told. Suddenly, the crystals changed
into a clear color.
"Okay, put that one on Ken's body, that one on Loen's body,"
Sailor Mercury told them.
Sailor Jupiter held her lighting in one hand, ready to use
it incase Venus Love Chain wasn't powerful enough. The second
the crystal touched Loen's body, Loen woke. He stared at them
for a second, realizing he was tied up.
"So, cracked my plan eh?" Loen smirked, "You think this
will hold me?"
Loen tore the Love Chains apart.
"Jupiter Thunder Dragon!" Sailor Jupiter shot at him.
Loen fell back on his butt, then tried to get up.
"Mar's Fire Ball!" Sailor Mars shot at him.
"Sailor Moon! Go!" Tuxeedo Mask urged.
"In the name of the Moon, I shall punish you!" Sailor
Moon started to pose.
"Hurry it up Sailor Moon!" Sailor Mars whined.
"Okay! Moon Scepter Elimination!" Sailor Moon pointed her
scepter at Leon.
"I'll be back!" Loen choked out his final words as his
body turned to ashes.
"I don't think so," Sailor Jupiter kicked the ashes.
"Hurry, we have to defrost him," Sailor Mecury pointed
to Ken in the block of ice.
"We only have ten minutes, it won't work!" Sailor Venus
panicked.
"Let me try," Sailor Mars said.
"No, you'll fry him," Sailor Jupiter said.
"No I won't!" Sailor Mars took out a strip of paper with
a couple Japanese characters on it, "I call upon the power of
Mars. Melt this block of ice!" She slapped it on the block
of ice.
All of them watched in silence as the water started to drip
off. More and water dripped on the floor, making a puddle
on the carpet.
Finally, all the ice was gone and Ken was left standing
in his wet clothes.
"Ken!" Sailor Jupiter ran up and hugged the dripping Ken.
"Hey Lita. Great to have my body back, thank you, everyone."
Ken looked at the scouts.
"All in a day's work!" Sailor Moon said.
"Uhhh!" the others hung their heads down.
