Princess Crystal was in trouble again. The Negaverse had been bothering her and her people, so she was reaching out to the sailor scouts for help. Her strength was fading fast as she sent the message to Sailor Earth for help. “Sailor Earth my world needs you and the other sailor scouts help as soon as possible. We are in major trouble here and my strength is fading with each passing moment” with little strength left she hit the send button on the keyboard in hopes that help would arrive soon.
Kimi Bronner received the message from Princess Crystal. Sailor Earth was a friend of hers but exactly where the
Senshi was she did not know. Kimi was a space traveler, and also a Sailor Senshi, but after crash landing on Earth her ship was
unpilotable Though she had kept residence on her ship (that other than not being able to fly, worked fine), she became a frequent visitor to the neighboring Tokyo and had since taken up a job at the local video game arcade. (Yes, THAT arcade.) “I've got to find Sailor Earth. If I can't find her soon then I'll have to go alone to help the Princess Crystal.” And with that she headed out the door towards Tokyo. She had to work at the Arcade today anyway. Kimi arrived to work on time. She grabbed her nametag and took her post in the arcade. Though watching other people play games and making sure they were behaving properly was least on her mind.
“Hey, Kimi!”
“Oh, not him right now.” Kimi turned around to face a young, blonde man of average height. “Hi, Steve.” She liked him, but wouldn't admit it.
“How's it going?”
“OK.”
“Not up for conversation? Is something wrong?”
*Only the Princess of a distant planet is in trouble, nothing you'd understand.* “No” Steve was a well-natured guy, a little clumsy, and would've followed Kimi around everywhere she went if she let him. Of course she couldn't let him do that though. He may seem harmless but if an Earthling found a spaceship...*sigh* Kimi hoped one of her friends would come in soon, one whom she could talk to about this predicament.
While Steve, noticing he wouldn't get anymore information out of her, decided to lean against the wall next to her and stare at the ceiling. “...”
Nariko eventually wondered her way to the arcade, she new that this was a popular hangout and that she could do lots of observing from here. Nariko walked to a far wall next to an old pinball machine and leaned against the wall, she had a grand view of everything that was going on, and a great view of the door she could see all that came in and left. The small golden cat, nestled comfortable in her arms, looked up at her and gave a small mew, and then climbed to her shoulder for a better view of the arcade.
“Hey,” Steve chirped, “I didn't know that cats were allowed in here.”
Kimi now looked over at the new visitor with cat, she could sense something unique about her. “As long as there's no trouble it's all right.” She looked up at Steve. “Are you just going to stand there all day?”
“Are you?”
“Well, I work here.”
He blinked, then grinned, “Oh, yeah,” and he went off to find his favorite video game.
Kimi kept her post but still found herself curious of the girl with the cat.
Princess Crystal waited patiently for a reply from Kimi as to weather or not the sailor scouts were coming to help. “KABOOM” The castle shook as another energy blast hit the city.
“I certainly hope they come soon. I don't think this place will last much longer.”
“Princess Crystal? We are very concerned about you.” The top maid said coming into the room. “Will you be OK till they get here?”
“Yes Evon I'll be fine till they get here, besides whose going to rule the kingdom till they get here. I have enough strength to last till they get here.” *At least I hope I do* “But thank you for asking Evon. Now go on and finish your daily chores, and don't worry about me any more darling.”
She turned to go but then turned back around and says “Princess Crystal I hope they get here soon.” then left the room. Crystal stared out the window wondering what earth was like and how soon the sailor scouts would get there.
“Your majesty, is something wrong?” Evon asked “You look awfully sad.”
“No Evon nothing is wrong. I just don't know how much longer our world will last. It's like it's being drained of energy. Where is the evil one now?” Princess Crystal asked
“We don't know princess. The last we heard he was on the south side of town.”
“Thank you Evon.”
Evon turned to go. “Your welcome princess” She said as she left.
Princess Crystal turned back to the window. *I hope Kimi finds Sailor Earth and the others soon.* She thought as she looked toward the planet earth. “Evon get my ship ready. I'm going to earth to see if I can help Kimi.” Crystal yelled to Evon.
“Yes Ma'am. Right a way”
“I'll be leaving in the next few minuets so get things ready”
“Yes ma'am.” And off she went to get the ship ready for the princess.
Princess Crystal was forming a plan to get the sailor scouts to her planet with out them teleporting there.
When Evon came back to tell her the ship was ready she said, “Evon your coming with me I may need your help to get around on earth.”
“Yes your majesty.”
“Oh and one other thing while we are down there please call me Crystal.”
“Yes Crystal”
Once on board the ship they took off like a bullet for the planet earth. “We'll have to land in a safe spot maybe by that ship there. Oh it's Kimi's ship. lets park here and go in to town.”
“Yes ma'am”
“Evon what did I say to call me?”
“Sorry ma'am I-I mean Crystal.”
“That's better now let's go.” About twenty minuets later they arrived at the arcade and went inside to find Kimi.
Kimi looked at the new visitors, “Looking for me, but...” She came to a realization of who it actually was. “Pr..Crystal?? What are you doing *here*??” A worried look crossed her face.
Steve blinked at the small group that had now gathered, “Does this mean the lunch date is off?”
“I'm here to take you guys to um... Can we talk privately please. I'm not very comfortable around all these people.” Crystal
“So what do you think? Where should we go to discuss this?” Crystal said to Kimi.
After coming to this planet Crystal decided the best plan was for her and Evon and Kimi to get together and discuss what they would do about helping planet
Corzoconia. the next step was to find some place to talk privately.
“We could go to the park,” Kimi suggested. “I don't think anyone will bother us there. And then after that we can go to dinner.” Kimi smiled at them all. “We really do need to discuss this.”
Crystal thought a couple seconds then said “Sure that would be a great idea. Nariko what do you think?”
Steve was sad, he had been eavesdropping. “I wish *I* could go with everyone to dinner,” he grumbled.
Kimi sighed at his remark. “Steve, I don't think you want to get mixed up in these things.” She looked over at Princess Crystal for some help in an explanation.
Trying to think of something to say with out giving their mission away Crystal said “Steve the best thing for you to do is stay here and keep an eye on the place. OK. Oh and you can keep an eye out for bad guys as a favor to me. Come on Evon lets go.”
“Bad guys?” Steve said inquisitively. “Cool. I'll stay right here until you return. Or until I run out of yen.” He crossed his fingers behind his back.
On the way to the park Crystal and Evon *who was helping Crystal walk* discussed with Kimi about the planets problems and what they would do to repay Kimi for her help.
“If you could please find Sailor Earth for me I would really appreciate it. I'd also like the other scouts to help if they aren't to busy that is. I saw on my monitors before we left the planet that they were in a fight as it was. Venus is really good. Maybe she could help us. Oh just so you know I'm a scout to but I've lost so much energy that I can't transform.”
Coming in to the park they all decided to sit on the grass to discuss the problem farther. “Crystal what's wrong?” Evon asked when Crystal fell.
“N-Nothing I'm all right. Don't worry so much.” Crystal said then went on discussing the problem. “What do you think we should do?” She asked Kimi.
Kimi thought, “You definitely need help. I can see about finding some others to go back to your planet too. I'm not sure whom we can get though. I've never really met the scouts on this world. Locating them could be hard, and if they're involved in a battle.” Kimi looked across at everyone, “Another thing is that my transportation is currently inoperable for, well, transporting.” She stopped for a
bit.
"Now back to what Kimi said, about no transportation. We can go in my ship. It's big enough to hold all the scouts. Besides that's why I'm here in the first place. I thought if I came to this planet I could give ya'll a ride to my planet. When and if we destroy them bad guys I'll give ya'll a ride back to earth again.” Crystal said with pain in her eyes. She wanted to tell them that she was in pain from the
fight she had been in the preceding week. But didn't want them to know that she was hurt worse then what she
originally thought.
“Your Majesty you need to get your rest lets go back to the ship and we can come back to talk to Kimi tomorrow about this.” Evon said when she noticed the hurt that Crystal felt.
“OK Evon I'll go but Kimi I want you to think about what I said. I'll see you
tomorrow.”
“Well.” Kimi stood up. “I'm going to go and call a friend. Crystal, you head back to your ship and rest. I'll meet you there later.”
She started to walk off, “See you all soon.”
When she got back into town Kimi decided to make a call to Ariana's house. But before she could pick up the public phone, someone tapped her shoulder from behind. Kimi looked over her shoulder. No was one there. She looked over her other shoulder, “Steve!” He waved. “Were you following me?!”
“Uh, no, I ran out of quarters and was on my way home.”
Kimi shrugged and picked up the phone and dialed Ariana's number. “Oh, please be home!”
“Are you almost done yet, Ariana?” Asked a white cat with a sunspot on his forehead. He was lying down outside on the grass by a bush of roses.
“Yes Apollo, I’m almost done.” Said the beautiful young maiden who was sketching her guardian cat and the pair of roses. Ariana atone was a very talented and famous artist and musician. She had just won the Kodansha award for her famous manga, Slayer. She was a beautiful Italian young lady with shiny black curly hair that came just past her shoulders. Her eyes were as green as the grass and eyes red as the rose she was sketching. She was also Sailor Earth, the princess of Earth and the younger sister of
Amour. Ariana also was very talented in music. She played the drums and had a beautiful voice like that of Jessica Simpson. Ariana first became a scout when she was 13. She fought the evil beings that were in America. She also fought with Sailor V a few times when she visited England. Now, Ariana is 18, and lives in Tokyo where she just built a beautiful two-story house on ten acres of land. She is also going to a famous art school in Tokyo and is one of the best students there. She came to Tokyo to help Sailor Moon and the senshi defeat the evil beings that are in Japan. “Finished!” Cheered Ariana.
“Finally.” Said Apollo stretching.
“Hey, I like to take time in my work, to make sure it’s perfect.” Said Ariana.
“I’d thought I’d find you here.” Said a deep and hansom male voice.
Ariana looked behind her and saw a hansom, tall, bland hair and blue-eyed young man. “Eric!” Cheered Ariana. She ran to him and embracing him with a kiss.
Eric Seino was an English teacher at Usagi’s high school. He was also her older brother and the prince of the Moon. Eric came to Japan from America about the same time as Ariana and Apollo did. Just like Mamoru and Usagi were lovers back in the Silver Millennium days, Eric and Ariana were too. Eric also had a guardian cat, Cynthia. She was a silvery cat with a white crescent moon on her forehead.
“What brings you here? I thought you had school.” Said Ariana.
“I got a day off. So I decided to come here and see my girl.” Smiled Eric.
“Oh, your too sweet.” Said Ariana giving Eric a little kiss on his lips. Eric’s stomach growled, and they both laughed. “Well your stomach’s right, it’s time for lunch.” Giggled Ariana as she looked at her watch. “Common, I’ll make some sandwiches in the house.”
“Make sure you make plenty.” Said Cynthia. “He has a big stomach like his sister, Usagi.”
Ariana, Eric, Apollo, and Cynthia were eating their lunch. Suddenly the phone rang. “I'll get it.” said Ariana. She got out of her chair and picked up the phone that was hanging on the wall. “Hello?”
“Hi, Ariana, this is Kimi. We need to talk a.s.a.p. Can you meet me at,” Kimi looked at Steve who was trying to listen in, “meet me at the usual place in the park,” she whispered into the phone. “It's really important. I'll see you soon. 'Bye.” She hung up the phone and turned around to face Steve, “Hey, Steve, I need to go somewhere. Could you please fill in for me at the Arcade.”
“Sure, it would be my pleasure.”
“Good. I got to go now. See you later.” And with that, Kimi headed towards the park. Ariana was sitting on a green bench under a tree waiting for the others to come.
“Damn.” Kimi came across the events unfolding on the street. “Not now. But.” She didn't want to reveal her presence anymore than she had to, but with the planets protectors in trouble. “Stardust Power, Make-UP!” She transformed into Sailor Stardust and grabbed her long scythe. But instead of attacking the enemy, she went to Sailor Moon's side and held out the handle end of her scythe to the senshi. “Grab hold, we'll try and get you out.”
“You don't need to get her out of here, the enemies left.” Chibi-Moon said over her shoulder she was still kneeling by Mamoru.
Sailor Stardust grunted, “The enemy isn't weak. You know the saying. 'Together we stand, divided we fall.' Want to help, or are you just going to sit there? I'm sure she'll be ok if we can get the enemy out of here.”
"What do you mean get the enemy out of here?" Chibi-Moon asked, she wasn't even looking at Sailor Stardust now she was concentrating on Mamoru "They both left right before you got here." Chibi-moon layed Mamoru head back on the ground and brushed his hair off his face. “Please wake up!" she said quietly.
Mamoru groaned and attempted to sit up. "Chibiusa?" He called out, thinking she was still in trouble. Then his eyes
un-blurred and his daughter came into focus. "Your alright.." He said with a forced smile, despite the pain in his head from slamming it against the wall. Suddenly his expression was worried once more. "Where's Usagi? And Rei?" He asked, concerned as he sat upright, wincing and pressing his hand to his head in doing so.
Chibi-Usa eyes lit up and she smiled despite the pain in her side from hitting the wall.. She threw her arms around Mamoru and hugged him tightly.. "I'm so glad you're all right! Usagi is right over there, she’s all right the enemy never attacked her." Chibi-Usa said, and then added a little sadly "The enemy got Rei, they disappeared with her a few minutes after we hit the wall."
"They took her?" Mamoru asked, just to be sure. He closed his eyes and mentally kicked himself for not getting there sooner. "I should have been here.." He muttered. Mamoru opened his eyes and looked up at Chibiusa. She wasn’t happy either.. He offered a reassuring smile and placed his hand on her shoulder for comfort. "We'll get her back. Don’t worry. Believe in Sailor Moon." He told her.
Chibi-Moon nodded, both to say that Sin and Mistress Nine had in fact taken Rei and to show that she believe in Sailor Moon, she always had, how she seldom showed it before. Chibi-Moon grinned a little to, Mamoru's smiles had that effect on her, and the pain in her side was subsiding a little. Diane came up and nudged Chibi-Moon a little. Chibi-Moon looked at her cat then to where the cat was looking, she was looking at Usagi, who was watching her and Mamoru. Chibi-Usa stood up and walked over to Sailor Moon. "You probably want to go see if he is ok,” Chibi-Usa said with a sly smile.
Sailor Stardust looked at the three, "Maybe you should try getting your enemy out in the open instead of waiting for them to attack you." She held her scythe up like a walking stick. "Just a thought, an idea to get yourselves *organized.* Well. I need to get going. Got stuff to do." She turned and started walking down the road.
Eternal Sailor Moon clenched her fists at her sides and stared at the ground, "Thank you for pulling me out of that heap of people.. but I'm afraid I can't take your advice. They have my friend and I'm going to get her back right *now.*" Surprisingly, the young girl didn't shed a tear. A determined mystique shrouded her personality and created a bolder, more comfortable Usagi
Tuskino. "I am Sailor Moon. I am a fighter of justice and I save those that need my help, including my friends." Usagi had a good idea on where she could find out where the enemy base was and she headed off, still in her fuku, in the direction of a future big battle. "I want you to stay here with Chibiusa Mamo-chan...there's no reason everyone should die." Usagi sadly joked before she left. She wasn't afraid anymore, perhaps there was a time when the thought of trying to rescue a friend scared her to death, but she was past that stage. She was older now and surer of herself than ever before. Even if she died, she knew there was always a way for her to come back. Sailor Moon was a Phoenix - destined to die but reborn from ashes for all eternity. Mamoru's eyes widened at her words and he slowly stood shakily to his feet.
"Usa-ko.." He called after her, making his way towards her. "I wont let you go alone.” But she kept walking.. Mamoru winced and pressed his hand harder to the side of his head.. he couldn’t follow after her... he could barely stand. "Chibiusa, get the others!" He told her. He didn’t want Usagi facing this enemy alone.. he wouldn’t let her if he could help it.
Ariana and Apollo were sitting on the bench waiting for Kimi to come. “Jeez.” Ariana said looking at her watch. “She should have been here by now.”
“Yeah, she's never late.” Said Apollo.
“Hope nothing happened to her on the way here.” Suddenly Ariana felt a pain in her chest. She grabbed her chest and gasped.
“What's wrong, Ariana!?!” Asked Apollo.
“Apollo, I think something DID happen.” Said Ariana.
“Oh my gosh! Let's go. You'll have to find a place to transform.” Said Apollo looking around and seeing all the people in the park.
“Alright. “Said Ariana running to find a place to transform. As they were running, they passed a girl and her cat that were sitting under a tree. Ariana felt a strange vibe as she passed the two. She stopped, and looked at the girl.
“Come on, Ariana.” Said Apollo a little ways in front of her.
“Yeah, I'm coming.” Said Ariana. She took one last look at the two, and then ran towards Apollo, and they both took off.
Sailor Stardust had felt the pain too, but had ignored it. After which she had transformed back into Kimi. She didn't know why, but she was a bit 'colder' in her Senshi form. Besides, as much as it did pain her, she had other things to do. And she was late for her meeting with...”Ariana!” Kimi yelled as she saw the girl running from the park. And after making sure that no one was around, “I know where you are headed, but...Princess Crystal needs us more right now. The Sailor Scouts here can hold off their own enemies well enough.” She looked at her friend, “Princess Crystal's planet is under attack, and she herself is weak and really needs our help right now.”
