EPISODE ONE: RETURN OF THE ICE TITAN

 

Place: Tokyo, the Tsukino Household

Time: 11:30 PM

Condition: Late At Night

 

Usagi was having a terrible nightmare, and woke abruptly, `Thud!' Usagi fell out of bed, realizing she'd woken Luna. "OUCH!" she groaned, rubbing her head.

 

Luna walked to where Usagi sat cross-legged on the floor, "Usagi? Are you okay?"

 

She hesitated before answering, "I... I am fine. I just had a bad dream is all."

 

Luna shook her head and glowered at her charge. Usagi leaned back in fear.

 

"I am sorry Usagi, I didn't mean to frighten you. I know those nightmares

have been bothering you." Luna apologized.

 

"How long have you known?"

 

Luna sat down, curling her tail around her body then spoke,

"I have known for well over a year. I noticed that with each passing night,

the dreams got worse and the more withdrawn you would become. Am I right?"

 

"Yes. I have had this nightmare for as long as I could remember. Only in the last several years has it grown more intense," Usagi explained.

 

"I see."

 

"Please don't tell the others. I cannot bear the thought of my friends knowing

what ails me, I'd be so ashamed." Usagi's sad tone made even Luna feel bad for her charge.

 

"Usagi, why don't you try to get more sleep," Luna suggested.

 

"Okay."

 

Place: Tokyo, Juuban Junior High

Time: 07:00 AM

Condition: Morning

 

"Usagi, please take your seat. I am glad you're finally on time," Miss Haruna stated.

 

Usagi took her seat without offering a reply as Miss Haruna stood in front of the

class with a girl who was a transfer student from China. "Today we have a new student. Her name is Nitara Nori. She has transferred back to Juuban from Beijing, China. She's been a transfer student for six years, please make her feel welcome," Miss Haruna announced.

 

"Hello everyone! Glad to meet you all. I hope we can be good friends." Nitara, Usagi observed, had dark hair and brown eyes. She stood around six feet one inches tall. Miss Haruna spoke again, "Please Nitara, choose a partner to be your guide,

since you are new here."

 

"Okay. How about you over there," Nitara pointed to a girl with Odangos,

Usagi, and walked towards her desk.

 

Usagi sensed something dark about this girl, she couldn't explain it, but her instincts had never let her down yet, and she wasn't going to ignore them now, "Thanks, I'm afraid I won't be the best person to help you, sorry. I am not feeling well this morning. Please, you should choose someone else," Usagi pleaded.

 

"It's okay, I will help you out; cheer up girl. The world isn't going to end... not today," Nitara said in a whisper.

 

*Actually, evil seems to find me... I am sure of it,* she thought ruefully.

 

"You okay Usagi? It looks like you were thinking about something or some one," Nitara probed, looking at Usagi.

 

"Oh. It's nothing," Usagi replied, trying to brush off the question.

 

Place: Tokyo, the Hikawa Shrine

Time: 02;30 PM

Condition: Afternoon

 

In Usagi's absence, Luna had joined Artemis and the Inner Senshi.

 

"Why did you call this meeting Luna?" Rei asked.

 

"Because, I am really concerned for her at the moment," Luna replied in a worried tone.

 

"Did Mamoru break up with Usagi again?" Makoto asked.

 

"No. Mamoru is to meet with Usagi this afternoon at the market and then go on a date. It's about Usagi's dreams."

 

"Dreams?" the girls chimed in unison.

 

"Yes. Most disturbing dreams. She's having nightmares, its getting so bad she actually fell out of bed this morning with the ferocity of the last one. She's moody, always tired, it's draining her will to do everyday things like getting ready for school, relating to her family and such. The last dream must have been especially bad, because she was on time for school, and that's rare for Usagi."

 

"Luna, do you know why she is having these nightmares?" Artemis ventured.

 

"I have no idea why. I wish I knew. Usagi has no idea either I suspect," Luna responded, looking more worried than before.

 

"Do you think a new enemy is causing this?" Ami asked.

 

"Maybe."

 

”Artemis, can you come over tonight to help me monitor Usagi?" Luna asked.

 

"Sure."

 

"But, you'll have to stay out of sight," Luna added as an afterthought.

 

"Okay."

 

Place: Deep Space

Time: 03:10 PM

Condition: Afternoon

 

Several small spheres moved towards the Earth: five entering the Atmosphere while the remaining three exploded freeing their notorious occupants while the other two orbs remained sealed. Taking in his surroundings, the leader of the villainous trio `The Ice Titan' created a Castle in the Arctic wastes while Morgoth and Belogore went looking for their target.

 

Place: Tokyo, Toshiba Tower

Time: 03:20 PM

Condition: Afternoon

 

Nitara Nori stood on the roof of the glistening office tower, having transformed into Crystal Sailor Destiny. "My journey from the Crystal Moon, my home world, has been such a long one. Yet, I wasn't there when my mistress, Princess Crystallina fled our once glorious kingdom and headed for earth. Of course, I knew of the story concerning the Ice Titan killing her mother and his henchmen lying waste the kingdom. But now, The Ice Titan has set his sights on earth and its people will be in danger!” she thought then of the girl with the odangos in class that day and sighed, “Even that girl named Usagi, what is it about her that stands out from her fellow humans? She too will know fear! Usagi... hmm... just the sound of that

name sounds mysterious, as if it holds a hidden significance. Could there possibly be something more to Usagi than meets the eye?" Nitara said to nobody in particular, and breathed out a deep sigh before continuing, "Actually, as I am Crystal Sailor Destiny, it had fallen to me to plan the life path of the chosen one, Princess Crystallina. However, I'd never expected her to come here to earth! Her energy trail has led me to this world... Tokyo. It's a strange city. Princess Crystallina, I will find you."

 

Place: North Pole, Palace of the Ice Titan

Time: 03:30 PM

Condition: Afternoon

 

"So, Belogore and Morgoth, what have you found out?" the Ice Titan asked impatiently. He was a large man dressed in ice-blue armor and had a light blue iron mask that covered his head and most of his face.

 

"Sire, our sources say there's a warrior in Tokyo called Sailor Moon," Morgoth explained.

 

"I see."

 

"That's not all. We have discovered Princess Crystallina's hiding place," Belogore

replied triumphantly.

 

"Who?"

 

"Sailor Moon, sire. Apparently, she is the host carrying Princess Crystallina. And as you know, memories are often experienced as nightmares and she has, according to her friends, been having such nightmares.” Morgoth replied.

 

"Very well, Morgoth. I will send you along with a monster that I'll create. I've read your report and I have arranged events in such a way that Sailor Moon will be meeting you at Azabu Park at 4:00 PM, my monster, Robo Snoid will help you eliminate Sailor Moon. By the way, she is going to be at the park first as Tsukino Usagi... Make sure she doesn't get a chance to transform if you can help it, I don't want her to survive, understand?"

 

"Yes sir."

 

"Robo Snoid. Come forth."

 

"Yes master?"

 

"Go to Tokyo and destroy sailor Moon; all of you, go!" Ice Titan smirked with satisfaction as Morgoth and Robo Snoid vanished.

 

Place: Tokyo Mamoru's Apartment

Time: 03:45 PM

Condition: Afternoon

 

Mamoru and Usagi were having an early dinner. Usually, she enjoyed his cooking, but today, she was playing with her food, lost in thought. Mamoru knew what was bothering her after Rei had told him, but he wasn't going to tell Usagi that he knew. The quiet couple was having a peaceful time when suddenly Usagi had a strange premonition.

 

"Usagi? Are you okay?"

 

"I am getting a strange vision, a youma is looking for me in Azabu Park and there's a group of adults, teenagers and children in great danger, I must go face him before he harms them!"

 

"Then I'll call the others."

 

"No. They want me and me alone. I must deal with this myself,” she answered back,

jumping to her feet.

 

"Okay, but I will be close by if you need me, it's your call…be safe," he said, the anxiety in his voice tempered with a steely determination to be on hand in case something went wrong.

 

"I will. Moon Crystal Power, Make Up!" The dazzling flash gave way to the glorious image of a Sailor Senshi, a look of fierce resolve on her face. “Wish me luck."

 

"Just be careful."

 

"Thanks," she grinned, her stoic expression returning. She had no idea what to expect, but she was ready to take on this new enemy.

 

Place: Tokyo, Azabu Park

Time: 04:00 PM

Condition: Afternoon

 

He ignored the frightened onlookers running in all directions from the masked figure that towered over them. "Sailor Moon… where is she!" Morgoth demanded, the impatience evident in his tone. "Yes, Sailor Moon, where are you, don't you care what happens to your human friends? We, that is, you and I, have an appointment with destiny!"

 

As the masked villain looked up, he caught sight of the pretty suited Senshi, feet apart, assuming her fighting stance, a crescent glowing upon her brow as she stood within the nearby rotunda. She grimaced at the masked man and his sidekick and placed her hands on her hips, "All right, dark kingdom trash, hold it right there!" she challenged, "and who are you guys anyway? You look a little lost, looking for the freak show in town are we?" she chuckled, “By the way, in case you goons don't know it, let me introduce myself. I am Sailor Moon. The one you're looking for, right?"

 

"Yes." Morgoth replied in a dull monotone.

 

"Good. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the pretty suited Sailor Soldier, Sailor Moon! And, in the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"

 

"Now that's out the way, we fight," Morgoth sneer, stepping aside to reveal the youma.

 

"Well then, Sailor Moon, let's see how you like my extended arm attack!" Robo Snoid yelled as his metallic arms shot out towards Moon in an attempt to strangle her. However, she jumped clear in the nick of time. "Very good, Senshi, but not good enough I'm afraid. Now, FEEL the deadly chill of MY ICE CRYSTALS!”

 

Suddenly, a volley of icy crystal spears rocketed towards Sailor Moon. On impact, the crystals exploded all over her body. After Moon had collapsed, Snoid picked up her limp body and tossed her aside as if she were a rag doll. "Die… Sailor Moon!" he screamed, dragging her to her feet and slamming her to the ground once more. "Not dead yet? Another slam will do the trick!" Morgoth chuckled maliciously nodding to his youma.

 

Sailor Moon was semi-conscious, her cuts and bruises stung painfully as she bled badly from several cuts. Cuts and bruises were all over her body. Her uniform torn in many places, finally, she managed to struggle to her feet in defiance of this crazed creature. "I'll never lose to the likes of you!"

 

Morgoth was amazed at the strength and courage of this Moon warrior, for one so small and so young.

 

"Robo Snoid, finish her off!"

 

"Moon Princess Halation!" Sailor Moon called her attack, but Snoid cut it off by snapping her Cutie Moon Rod in half.

 

Gripping her by the throat, he began strangling her, "This day you die, right here, right now!"

 

"DESTINY SPHERE OF DARKNESS!" Crystal Sailor Destiny yelled, as a ball of dark energy flew from her staff at Robo Snoid. The ball of energy incinerated the youma, turning it to dust.

 

"So, Crystal Sailor Destiny, you survived that long trip, eh? You defeated my monster! I'll be back to finish her off another day!” Morgoth vowed and vanished.

 

Destiny ran to help Sailor Moon, kneeling beside the exhausted Senshi, "Who are you?” Sailor Moon answered, barely conscious, then she spoke again, "They lured me here. They wanted me dead for some reason, and I don't know why."

 

"Morgoth is dangerous. Why would he want to waste his time on you?" Destiny muttered, bemused.

 

"I don't know exactly, but they sure were adamant about killing me for some reason..." the words died on her lips as she lost consciousness. “Somebody is coming, got to run, bye!” she said, not realizing the Senshi at her feet could no longer hear her and sprang to her feet. She then flew off with her Destiny Staff in hand.

 

~*~

 

Tuxedo Kamen and the Senshi soon arrived on the scene.

 

"She's wounded!"

 

"Do you think that strange girl had something to do with it?" Mars asked, furrowing her brow.

 

"I don't know. Let's get her to the Hikawa Shrine. Let's move!" Tuxedo Kamen ordered picking up Sailor Moon and they ran to the Shrine.

 

Place: Tokyo, Toshiba Tower

Time: 04:45 PM

Condition: Afternoon

 

Nitara Nori stood on the rooftop, a place she liked to think and take some quiet time for herself.

 

"So, why did Morgoth want her dead?" she murmured. "Oh no! If they are trying to kill Sailor Moon... that means she must have Princess Crystallina inside her! My mistress must be in a state of hibernation. Sailor Moon is in terrible danger!"

 

TO BE CONTINUED....

 

Next time on Crystal Princess, Tuxedo Kamen and the others

further and discovers that sailor Moon is Usagi! The Ice

Titan tries to kill Usagi again! What will happen next?
