"The Game: Friend or Foe?"

Chapter One

August 20, 2005, Saturday afternoon:

So far, today has been quite boring and there wasn't any excitement at the Cherry Hill Temple. This was their last weekend of summer break. They will have to hit the books in two days. The girls sat on the porch, ate snacks, and watched the clouds float by. Serena was busy daydreaming about her relationship with Seifer Almasy.

"Why don't we all go over to Serena's place for swimming and a game of volleyball?" Mina asked her friends.

"That's a good idea," Lita stated. "This will be our last break before school begins, so we might as well have fun. You know we'll really catch it on Monday."

"I do agree. Serena, can we go to your house?" Amy asked, looking in her direction. Serena just sighed and gazed at the sunny sky.

"Hhheeeeellllllloooo. Serena!" Lita exclaimed, waving her hand in front of Serena's face.

She blinked and looked at her friends. "Sorry you guys. I was just daydreaming," Serena sighed.

"This isn't the first time," Raye replied sarcastically.

"Put a sock in it Raye," she hissed, giving her the evil eye. She turned to the others. "What were you saying earlier Mina?"

"Can we play volleyball and swim at your house?"

"Sure, why not. We can even roller blade afterwards."

"Great! We'll leave now and be there at 4:00. It's now 3:30 p.m. so that gives us thirty minutes to meet back at your house," Amy commented, looking at her watch.

"Well, Serena and Amy will ride with me and you and Mina can ride together," Raye suggested as she walked back into the temple. She quickly ran to her room and grabbed her red, two-piece swimsuit, red Reebok Classics, black roller blades, and her black shorts.

"I'll drive to your house first, then I'll drop by mine," Lita told Mina as she grabbed her keys off the porch. Serena, Amy, and Raye drove off westward in Raye's black Dodge Neon. Lita and Mina drove off eastward in Lita's forest green Ford Explorer Sport.

Amy, Serena, and Raye made it to the house in fifteen minutes. The girls changed into their swimsuits and sat on the porch. Amy sat on the porch, reading a 300-page romance novel in her blue shorts, a royal blue and black tankini, and a pair of navy blue Nike GTS Canvas. She placed her natural blue, shoulder-length hair in a loose ponytail. Serena, who sat to the left of Amy, wore blue shorts, a pink tankini, and white K-Swiss sneakers. She somehow managed to pin her now dark brown, ankle length hair up in a bun. Raye, who sat to the right of Amy, placed her thigh-length black violet hair in a braid that traveled down her back. Luna and Artemis, the Scouts' guardians, lay next to Raye's feet, asleep.

"Where are they?!!" Raye exclaimed, slowly becoming impatient.

"I don't know. Be patient. They should be showing up any minute," Amy replied while reading her book.

"I surely wish they would hurry up," Serena sighed.

"Not you too." Amy looked up from her book and spotted Lita's vehicle. "Speaking of which, here they are now!"

Lita pulled up in the driveway. Mina and her jumped out of the car and ran towards the porch. Mina wore an orange tankini, khaki shorts, and white Reebok Classics. She placed a red bow at the end of the blonde, thigh-length French braid. Lita wore a forest green tankini, blue jean shorts, and a pair of green and white Adidas. She wore her now dark, honey blonde, mid-thigh length hair in a high, saucy ponytail. Lita carried five t-shirts, with Disney characters on the front, in her arms.

"Here are those t-shirts that I talked about. These were so adorable," Lita commented as she distributed them among her friends.

"Wow! These are so cute," Serena replied.

"I still can't believe that you bleached your hair Lita and Serena dyed hers," Amy replied.

"You're letting yours grow out Amy. We're just doing this because we wanted a new look. When we transform into the Sailor Scouts, our hair is going to be in the same hairstyle except yours will be longer and Serena and mine will be a different color," Lita responded.

"Duh!!" Serena told Lita.

"Are you guys ready to eat dirt?" Mina challenged.

"You're on," Raye replied.

The girls walked to the backyard. The cats stayed on the porch. The girls put on the t-shirts and stretched both their arms and legs.

"Okay. I need to know who are going to be partners," Amy said.

"All right. It's Lita and Raye against Mina and me," Serena replied.

"Let the games begin. First one to fifteen wins," Lita stated. She faced Mina and rolled the ball to her. "You serve first."

Mina picked up the ball and was about to serve when a basketball flew over the fence and landed in Serena's pool. Amy grabbed the ball and everyone walked over to the fence. The girls saw five, very handsome teens on the basketball court. The black haired boy with red swim trunks argued with a boy in orange swim trunks. The blond haired boy wearing forest green swim trunks just shook his head in shame. The boy in baby blue swim trunks walked over to a red ice chest. He pulled out a bottle of water and took a sip. The natural blue haired boy in navy blue swim trunks walked over to the fence.

"Sorry about that. I'm Rowen Hashiba," he said to Amy.

"That's okay. I'm Amy Mizuno," she began as she handed him the ball, "and these are my friends."

"I'm Serena Tsukino."

She extended her hand towards him. He shook her hand. "I'm Lita Kino."

"I'm Raye Hino."

"Mina Aino."

"Nice to meet all of you. That's Cai Moori standin' next to the ice chest. The blond head over there is Sage Date. Ryo Sanada is the one with black hair and the one that's arguin' with him is Kento Rei Fuan."

"Just out of curiosity, how old are you all and what institute or college you'll be attending?" Mina asked him.

"We're all eighteen and we'll attend Balamb Garden. How old are all of you and what institute you'll attend?"

"We're all eighteen except for Lita. She'll be eighteen in December. We're going to Balamb Garden as well," Raye responded.

"Well, we may see each other around the campus."

"How tall are all of you?" Serena questioned Rowen.

He looked at her puzzled but answered the question. "Everyone is 5'7 except Sage. He's one inch taller than us. How tall are all of you?"

"Let's see. Everyone is 5'5 except me. I'm taller than my friends by an inch," Lita replied.

Sage walked over to the fence. "Hello ladies. I'm Sage Date."

"Hi Sage," Serena, Mina, and Raye replied at the same time. Amy just shook her head.

Lita kept staring at him. `Why do I have this weird feeling that I've known him before?' she thought to herself.

"Nice to meet you. Hey buddy, are you ready to finish the game? The score is 32-28. We're leading by four points," Sage told Rowen.

"Well, I hope to see you around on Monday," Rowen told Amy. Amy's face turned a little red. He looked at the other girls. "I'll talk to you guys later."

"Bye Rowen," Amy told him.

"Bye Rowen. Bye Sage," the other girls replied. The guys walked away from the fence.

"Amy, your face turned quite red back there when Rowen just told you bye. What's up with that?" Raye teased, nudging her arm.

"N-Nothing. Rowen just wanted to find out more about us."

"Looks to me that Rowen just wanted to find out more about you than us," Mina commented.

Amy's face became redder by the minute. The other girls grinned at her.

"There's something about them especially the blond with those pale, indigo eyes," Lita said, deep in thought. "It's like we met them before. I just can't place my finger on it."

"Are you sure Lita?" Amy asked her.

"Of course I'm sure." She continued pondering in her thoughts. Suddenly a thought struck her. "Wait a minute! Serena, do you still have your middle school yearbook?"

"Sure, what's up?" Serena asked.

"Could you bring it here so Raye and I could figure out where those boys are from?"

Serena ran into the house. A few minutes later, she returned with the book and handed it to Lita.

"I definitely agree with Lita," Raye added. "The names truly ring a bell, but I can't remember where I've seen them before." A few seconds passed. "Now I remember!!" Everyone faced her.

"Where did we see them at?" Serena asked Raye.

"Remember when we were going to Galbadia Middle?" Everyone nodded. "They were the ones we would see at the Apocalypse restaurant every Friday afternoon."

Lita opened the book and flipped to the 8th grade class.

"Let me see," Mina and Serena whined, reaching for the book.

"Just wait a minute!" She flipped the pages until a picture of a boy with a wild blond hairstyle caught her eye. Underneath the picture, she read the person's name. "Oh my goodness, it's him. That's Sage Date," she whispered.

Lita handed the book to Mina and walked to the porch. She couldn't believe that the person she met just minutes ago was her ex-boyfriend from middle school.

"That's Rowen Hashiba!" Amy gasped in total shock as she looked in the yearbook.

"That's not all," Raye added. She flipped through the pages and spotted a boy with dark brown hair and sideburns. "Here's Cai Moori."

Raye continued flipping pages and Mina stood next to her. "That's Kento Rei Fuan," Mina said.

Raye flipped more pages until she saw the last picture. "And here's is Ryo Sanada."

"Well, enough of that. Come on you guys. Let's get back to the game!" Serena exclaimed.

"Hey Rowen, don't they look familiar to you?" Sage asked, staring at the tall blonde with the deep emerald eyes. "I know I've seen them somewhere before."

Rowen looked back at the girls, and then faced his friend. "Now that I thought about it, I have seen them before. Do you remember a blue-haired female that went to Winhill Elementary with us?"

Sage nodded. "Yeah, Rowen. Do you think that's her?"

"I know it's her. Her name, as well as her friends' names, was vaguely familiar. Amy Mizuno, besides myself, was one of the smartest individuals at Winhill. She was always around a tall brunette with deep emerald eyes, a blonde wearing pigtails, another blonde wearing a huge bow in her hair, and a girl with black-violet hair."

"Sage?!!" Cai shouted. "We're waiting on you guys."

"Hold on a minute!" Sage looked at the females, who were on the other side of the fence. "Then those girls she's with are the same ones from Winhill. I can tell that the one with the brown bun just changed her hair color." He scratched the back of his head.

Rowen looked at his friend's puzzled look. "What's wrong buddy?"

Sage snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his best friend. "I thought you said Amy associated with a brunette that had deep emerald eyes. I remembered that my middle school girlfriend was a tall brunette and she also had green eyes."

"I know but the girl over there had green eyes and blonde hair."

Sage started dribbling the ball. "We'll figure it out later."

"Are you guys going to finish the game or what?" Kento shouted.

Rowen looked at Sage. "Should we just put Kento and Cai out of their miseries?" Rowen asked.

"Well, that shouldn't take very long." He chuckled as he and Rowen ran towards the court. He suddenly stopped and an idea developed in his brain.

Rowen stopped, noticing that his teammate wasn't beside him. He walked back over to Sage. "Now what is it?"

"How about we invite those girls over to watch the game?" Sage suggested.

"Hey, I'm okay with it. I'll tell Ryo and the others."

Serena and the others continued looking in the book when they heard Sage's voice.

"Hey Sage. What's up?" Raye asked.

"Did you want to come over to Ryo's house to watch the game? Rowen and I are playing against Kento and Cai. I'll understand if you don't."

Lita walked over to her friends after she had gotten over her discovery. She and the other girls huddled into a circle and decided what to do.

"Okay," Mina said. She looked at Sage and yelled the girls' response. "Sure, we'll watch the game." He smiled and she smiled back.

The girls left Serena's backyard. Lita walked towards her car. Mina stopped walking and looked at her.

"Where are you going Lita?"

"I'm just making sure that my doors are locked. I'm coming so don't wait up for me." Mina shrugged her shoulders and walked towards Ryo's house.

Lita clicked the automatic lock button on the passenger's side to lock all the doors. She caught up with Mina at the gate.

"Did we miss anything," Mina asked her friends as she sat on the wooden deck.

"Yeah. Rowen shot for a three-pointer and missed. Then Cai had a fast break and set it up for Kento to dunk in the basket. They scored two points but they are still behind Sage and Rowen by two. The score is now 32-30," Raye replied.

"Thanks," Lita said.

Kento dribbled the ball while Sage guarded him. He decided to throw an overhead pass to Cai, but Rowen intercepted it and had a fast break. He shot for a three and made it. Sage hi-fived him and they ran to the other goal. Cai dribbled the ball and chest-passed it in the inside to Kento, who then scored two points.

"How many points does each team have to score in order to win the game Ryo?" Mina asked him.

"Right now, they are going to forty. Sage and Rowen need five while Kento and Cai need eight."

Sage dribbled the ball down the court, shot for a three, and made it.

"Do we really have to show them how to play basketball our way?" Raye asked.

"We'll probably have our chance. Just wait until this game is over," Amy replied as she continued to read her book.

Cai passed the ball to Kento and he shot for a three and made it. Rowen dribbled the ball down the court and shot for a two. Kento blocked it and quickly threw it to his partner, who then performed a lay-up to score two points. Lita took her hair down and Serena braided it down her back.

"Thanks," she told Serena.

Rowen dribbled the ball down the court and shot for a two and missed. Sage was under the basket for the rebound and scored.

"I believe that was the game. You guys hustled pretty good and played hard. Maybe next time you'll beat us," Rowen joked with Cai and Kento as they walked towards the ice chest on the deck.

"We would like to challenge you to a game of basketball," Raye stated. Ryo looked at her.

"Are you sure about that? I mean we don't want to beat you really bad," Ryo told her.

Raye's face turned red as a tomato. Lita quickly covered Raye's mouth before a rush of obscenities flew out. Lita again stopped her before Raye could throw a charm on his face.

"Please excuse Raye. She acts that way sometimes," Amy apologized, regarding her friend.

"I'm sorry if I offended you," Ryo apologized to Raye. Raye, in return, gave him an icy look.

"Just accept the apology and just move on," Lita replied through gritted teeth.

"I accept the apology," Raye mumbled and headed towards Mina.

"Will you accept our offer or decline?" Amy asked the boys.

The guys looked at each other and cunning smiles crossed their faces.

"Sure, we accept your offer," Rowen responded.

"We'll let you guys warm up," Sage said before tossing the ball to Lita.

Amy called Raye over to her and they joined Lita on the court. Mina held a conversation with Kento and Serena watched the birds in the sky. Cai handed her a water bottle and sat next to her.

"Thanks. You and Kento played hard out there," Serena told him.

He looked at the other girls warming up on the court. "Thanks." He then faced her. "I didn't catch your name," he said to her in his beautiful accent.

She took a sip of water. "Serena Tsukino."

He tapped his finger against his chin in deep thought. "Lovely name. It suits you well." He smiled.

She blushed and took another sip. "You have a beautiful accent. I take it that you're not from here."

He looked at her and smiled. "You're right. Actually, I was from Esthar. I moved to Balamb when I was four."

Serena nodded. "My friend Mina was from Esthar as well. She's been here for the past thirteen years."

Lita walked over to Cai and Serena with the ball in front of her stomach. "Hey Cai." He nodded. She looked at Serena. "Are you going to play or watch?"

Serena stood up and stretched. "I'm probably going to watch." She glanced over Lita's shoulder to find Sage sneaking up behind the tall blonde. He placed a finger on his lips to silence Serena.

"Oh come on Serena! Please?" Lita begged, giving her the sad, puppy face look.

"Sorry Lita, maybe another time," she said mimicking her friend's facial expression.

"Man, you're no fun," Lita whined.

Suddenly, Sage grabbed Lita by her waist and tickled her sides. She laughed and tried to get away from the person with all her might but she couldn't. She dropped the ball and the individual took it. She turned and stared at her assailant while holding her aching sides.

"What?" he said, grinning at her.

"Sage Date, give me the ball!" she exclaimed, extending her hand. She held her aching side and tried to maintain a straight face.

He still continued dribbling the ball. Suddenly she ran up to him, stole the ball, and ran on the court. He turned around and looked at her.

"Nice move. So who's playing?"

"Raye, Amy and me. Who's playing against us?"

"Why of course Rowen, Ryo, and yours truly. Ladies first."

"To make the game more interesting, my friends and I decided on a bet. If we win, we get to study with you guys for one month. If we lose, we'll take you anywhere you want to go and pay for it. This proposal includes Serena and Mina also. Just let us know when you want to go. Does that sound fair to everyone?" Rowen stated.

The girls looked at each other. All the guys looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Anywhere we want to go?" Raye asked to make sure she heard him right.

"Yes." The girls nodded.

"Well that settles it. Let the games begin," Rowen replied as he guarded Amy.

"What are we going to?" Amy asked.

"Forty," Sage replied as Lita ran around him.

Raye created a screen for Lita. Lita then shot for two points and scored. Raye and Lita rushed to the other end of the court. Amy guarded Rowen while he dribbled the ball. He then quickly passed the ball to Ryo, who then scored three points for his team.

An hour later, the score was tied at 38. Serena and Mina cheered the girls on to victory while Cai and Kento did the same for the guys. Raye dribbled the ball while Ryo guarded her. She quickly passed the ball to Amy, who then passed it to Lita.

Lita was under the basket, dribbling and forcing the guarding Sage to move back. She faked left and he anticipated by jumping. She threw the ball back to Amy and she shot for three. Amy missed but Lita was there for the rebound and she scored the winning points.

Serena and Mina jumped up and ran to their friends. They all embraced each other in a group hug. The guys just watched them and grinned.

"We won! We actually won the game!!" Raye exclaimed.

"Congratulations! That was an awesome game!" Kento said to the girls.

"It was a really close game," Sage stated as he wiped off his trimmed chest and his neck.

"How did you learn how to play like that?" Rowen asked as he dried off his trimmed stomach and his arms.

"I guess from playing basketball throughout high school," Raye replied as she dried her hair and her neck.

"I've seen girls play basketball before and played against them, but I've never seen girls with a different style and playing strategy before. You guys bring a new meaning to the game of basketball," Ryo replied as he wiped his washboard stomach.

"Maybe you'll beat us the next time," Lita teased as she dried off her neck and her arms.

A white tiger with black stripes appeared and sat next to Raye. Her memory about the tiger came back. "Isn't this White Blaze?" she asked Ryo as she pat him. The tiger purred at her touch. "I remember when he was a cub."

"How do you know White Blaze?"

"How could I forget when he walked with you everywhere you went."

"Ryo, Cai, and Kento, I need to talk to you guys real quick," Rowen replied. They all walked to the basketball court. He quickly told them that the girls are their old classmates from elementary and middle school. His friends stared at him, then at the girls in total shock.

"Are they okay?" Amy asked Sage.

"Rowen is just telling them something important. They'll get over the initial shock." He took a sip of water while in deep thought. "Hey, did you guys go to Winhill Elementary and Galbadia Middle?"

"Yeah," all the girls replied.

"That explains why you looked so familiar. So what happened to Lita?" He took another sip of the ice cold liquid.

The other girls looked at the girl in question. Lita cleared her throat. "I'm still here but with a different look."

The water in Sage's mouth went down the wrong way. He coughed and looked at the blonde with green eyes that spoke. "Lita, is that really you?"

The girl nodded. "I'm truly disappointed Sage. I thought you'd recognized me by now."

"I still can't believe it." The rest of the guys walked towards them.

"I still can't believe that they are our old classmates," Kento said.

"Well accept the fact Kento `Bottomless Pit' Rei Fuan," Mina teased. He looked at her and she gave him her most innocent smile. Everyone around him chuckled lightly.

"Just remember that you guys owe us. Remember that was part of the bet," Raye reminded them.

Sage walked over to the water hose and turned it on.

"We won't forget. Just tell us when you're ready and we'll take you," Rowen replied.

Sage snuck behind Lita with the water hose. Her friends watched and tried to keep a straight face. Rowen walked over to the ice chest and handed Gatorade to his friends and gave water to the girls. The guys pretended to cough and drink Gatorade to avoid laughing at Lita.

Sage sprung his attack and sprayed Lita down. She screamed at the top of her lungs and struggled to get the hose from him. The girls laughed as the guys grinned. Sage and Lita pulled the hose so much that they fell on the court, making their friends laugh even harder.

Lita pinned him down and took the hose from him. She sprayed him across his chest. Sage tried to grab the hose from her, but she jumped up and sprayed her friends. They screamed and the guys laughed.

"That was for laughing at me and not warning me to get out of the way," Lita replied, anger lacing her voice.

"We're sorry Lita," Amy apologized.

"But you have to admit that it was pretty hilarious," Mina added. Lita's anger slowly faded and a mischievous smile replaced it.

"Oh, they're laughing too. Hand me the hose Lita," Raye grinned. She tossed it to her.

The guys split up and ran around the court. Raye sprayed Kento and Cai. She quickly passed the hose to Mina, who then sprayed Rowen and Sage. She then passed the hose to Serena, who then sprayed Ryo. Everyone laughed and had fun.

Lita ran to the faucet to try and cut off the water but Rowen and Sage blocked her way. Amy and Raye came to her rescue. Sage grabbed Lita while Rowen grabbed Amy. They both shrieked.

"Ryo, get her. Stop her!" Sage shouted, pointing at Raye.

Ryo ran for her and she ran behind the bushes. She spotted the faucet and calculated her probabilities in reaching the faucet in time. She tried to cut off the water, but Ryo somehow grabbed her waist and they stumbled onto the grass, landing a few inches from the faucet. She tried to reach for it, but he turned her on her back and pinned her hands to the ground.

"Raye, did you turn it off?" Lita asked over her shoulder.

"No. Ryo pinned down and right now I can't move."

"Don't worry, I got it."

She found the strength to unwrap his arms from around her waist. She grabbed his right arm and flipped him on his back. He rolled forward onto his feet and charged after her. She reached the faucet before he stopped her and she turned it off.

"Yes, and the girls win again," Raye cheered after Ryo helped her up.

"I'm gonna kill you for that one Sage Date!" Lita screamed. She glared at him as she wrung out her wet hair and drenched shirt.

He crossed his arms over his chest and chuckled. "Well, I'll be patiently waiting for that day."

"Well it was fun," Amy replied after Rowen placed her on her feet. "We'll see you guys on Monday."

"Bye," the guys said.

The girls grabbed their belongings and left Ryo's backyard.

"It was great seeing them again," Serena sighed. "I can't believe we all will be at Balamb Garden on Monday."

Lita winced. "I know what you mean," she mumbled to herself.

"I hate to say this you guys, but I sensed high auras from all of them," Raye whispered as they headed towards Serena's house.

"WHAT!!!" the other girls exclaimed.

"At first, I thought it was just from Rowen and Sage. When Sage invited us over to his friend's house, I sensed high auras from Cai and Kento as I passed by them. Lastly I sensed Ryo's when he grabbed me and pinned me to the ground. Ryo's touch felt as though my skin was on fire but I wasn't burned. I think they could be from the Negaverse but I'm not so sure."

"Raye, are you sure? They could be on the good side," Mina replied.

"I'm sorry you guys but I really don't know. I kept sensing these weird vibes from them. We need to keep an eye on them."

Before they set foot in Serena's yard, an armored figure appeared, leaning on Lita's car.

"Can we help you sir?" Amy asked the figure.

Raye started sensing evil vibes from the strange figure. The sign of Mars flashed brightly upon her forehead. "Guys watch it! I'm getting weird vibes from this creep!" she cautioned.

"Hand yourselves and the Imperium Silver Crystal over to the Negaverse and the NetherWorld."

"We'll never surrender to you!" Lita shouted.

"Who are you?" Mina asked the figure.

"I am Cale, Warlord of Corruption and Darkness. That's all you need to know Sailor Scouts!" He jumped into the air. "Black Lightning Slash!"

The girls flipped out the way.

"How does he know that we're the Sailor Scouts?" Amy asked her friends.

"Never mind that. We need to transform into the Sailor Scouts," Serena ordered. Her friends nodded and held up their power sticks. "Moon Crystal Power!"

"Mercury Star Power!" Amy shouted.

"Mars Star Power!" Raye shouted.

"Jupiter Star Power!" Lita shouted.

"Venus Star Power!" Mina shouted.

The Sailor Scouts suited up and were ready for action. They scanned the area for Cale.

"Cale, where are you?!!" Jupiter shouted.

All of a sudden, the sky darkened. His laughter was heard all around them.

"What in the world is going on?!" Mars questioned her allies.

"I'll try to get a reading on him," Mercury told them. She clicked her right earring and her visors appeared. She pulled out her pocket computer and started typing.

"In the meantime Mars, be ready to fire to your left if he appears there. Jupiter, same applies to you except you'll fire straight ahead and Venus, fire to your right," Sailor Moon ordered.

Mercury's computer beeped and her visors disappeared. "He's not in front of us." She looked at the sky. "He's above us!"

"Smart girl but too late. Black Lightning Slash!" Cale shouted.

Ryo's House:

Ryo and the others couldn't get over their meeting with their old classmates.

"It's good to see them again," Cai said.

"I know what you mean. They've changed over the years. They turned out to be beautiful women," Kento stated as he munched on a bag of chips.

"I hate to say this guys but I sensed high auras from all of them," Sage sighed.

"WHAT THE..?! HIGH AURAS FROM THEM?!!" the other guys exclaimed.

"I can't really tell whether the auras are good or evil. I want to say that the auras are good but I'm not sure. We need to be very careful. They could be working for Talpa."

"Sage, are you sure you sensed the auras from them?" Ryo asked. Sage nodded.

"Man!! Just when I was getting to know Mina better," Kento replied. Everyone looked at him and laughed. "What's so funny?"

"I can't believe Kento has a different interest besides food!" Cai teased before he laughed again.

Suddenly Sage sensed an evil aura nearby that belonged to one of the Dark Warlords.

"Sage, are you okay?" Rowen asked.

"One of Talpa's puppets is nearby."

White Blazed began growling. Ryo looked at his tiger. The kanji ball of virtue appeared in his palm and he transformed into his sub armor. The kanji balls of life, trust, wisdom, and justice appeared in Rowen, Cai, Sage and Kento's hands respectively. Each person transformed into his sub armor.

They ran to the fence and suddenly stopped. They saw Cale stopped Serena and her friends. They wanted to get away from the Dark Warlord but he wouldn't let the girls go without a fight. Ryo and the others were about to stop Cale until they heard one of the female's next words.

"Never mind that. We need to transform into the Sailor Scouts," Serena ordered. Her friends nodded and held up their power sticks. "Moon Crystal Power!"

"Mercury Star Power!" Amy shouted.

"Mars Star Power!" Raye shouted.

"Jupiter Star Power!" Lita shouted.

"Venus Star Power!" Mina shouted.

With a bright flash, the Sailor Scouts appeared where Serena and her friends were. The scouts ran towards the front yard, looking for Cale.

"What the…" the Ronin Warriors gasped.

"They're heroines?!" Rowen whispered.

"So I was right. The auras I sensed were good," Sage replied. Everyone sighed in relief.

"Okay, time for action. Ronin Warriors to Arms!" Ryo shouted.

"Armor of Strata…Tao Inochi!" Rowen shouted.

"Armor of Hard Rock…Tao Gi!" Kento shouted.

"Armor of Halo…Tao Chi!" Sage shouted.

"Armor of Torrent…Tao Shin!" Cai shouted.

"Armor of Wildfire…Tao Ji!" Ryo shouted.

Once the Ronin Warriors transformed into their full armor, they heard five, very

high-pitched screams from the front yard.

"Time to kick some dynasty butt!" Hard Rock shouted.

Black rays hit the Scouts from all directions. The Sailor Scouts' bodies flashed between their sailor fukus and their drenched clothes. The girls screamed and felt their energy slowly being drained.

"Thunderbolt Cut!!" a voice yelled.

The light shattered the darkness and restored the Sailor Scouts' energy.

"Halo, you'll pay dearly for that!!" Cale shouted.

"Don't count on it."

Four boys appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the warlord. The last boy stood in a tree, aiming a golden arrow at its target.

"Surrender Cale. You're outnumbered. You don't stand a chance against the ten of us," the boy in red armor stated.

"I'll never surrender Ronin Warriors! Black Lightning Slash!" Cale shouted.

"Oh no you don't. I call upon the fire of Mars. Fireball…Charge!" Mars countered, concentrating her energy into her anti-evil charm.

The charm landed on Cale's face, silencing his attack and paralyzing him. Mars jumped into the air. The charm burned a few seconds later and Cale jumped into the air after her.

"Come back here you little brat!!" Cale shouted.

"Venus.... Love Chain.... Encircle!!" Venus shouted.

The chain wrapped around the warlord's legs. Venus brought her arm down, bringing the warlord and her chain down with it.

"Jupiter Thunder Crash!!" Jupiter shouted.

"Mars Firebird Strike!!" Mars shouted.

The two attacks combined and formed an electrified, firebird. The electrified bird flew towards the warlord and hit him hard.

"Strata, now's your chance!" the boy in orange armor yelled to his comrade.

Strata jumped out of the tree and into the air. "Arrow Shock Wave!" The arrow hit the ground below Cale, causing a great amount of damage towards him.

"RENZOKUKEN!" another voice shouted.
