I can't do this without you!
The Return of Sailor Moon!
"Does that thing ever run out of ink?" Gohan asked Terra. After a week and a half, the special pen had never come close to running out of ink. It was weird. What was even stranger is that the ink actually CHANGED colors! When Serena wrote with it, it was pink, but for Terra it was green. Gohan had used it once and it was a normal pen blue.
"Um...y...yea. I bought a...replacement pen point." She explained. Lying had become second nature to her. It was hard to think excuses up off the top of her head, but it was easier for her. There had been no threats recently that Gohan couldn't handel and he and Serena had seemingly forgotten about Sailor Earth. Terra didn't know if that was good or bad, but it didn't matter. Serena had finally obtained happiness. That was all that mattered now. Maybe peace whouldn't be hard to find this time...
***Somewhere in Space***
"Report!" The woman commaded. The Scout with the childish voice bowed before her leader. This was not going to be easy explaining.
"Madam Galaxia...I..." She began, her voice hinging between calmness and sobbing. She hated this. She wanted to be with her friend...but he'd never reccognize her. That was why she hated that girl. That girl who wore the green uniform. Galaxia promised unlimited power in exchange for her soul. Being a child, she accepted. If she could fight, maybe he'd want to still be friends but...he didn't even remember her! Galaxia's voice broke her thoughts.
"Phi, you disappoint me. I want that seed of pure energy. That crystal who's only rival is also our goal! You didn't get it, and almost cost Iron Mouse her life!!" She yelled. Phi cringed. Chi, her older sister, watched from the shadows. The Star Gardeners gave their lives to Galaxia. Now Phi was throwing that all away.
"Madam Galaxia...give me more time! I found the boy! He has it deep within him!" Phi said, kneeling. Galaxia seemed to think on it. Chi spoke up.
"Lady Galaxia, I have a report." She said. Galaxia looked over to Phi's sister. She sneered at her and closed her eyes.
"Go ahead."
"I was surveying the Holy Delta when I caught the glimmer of shining stars. I have located three of the eight survivors. 'She' is in their posession as of now. I cannot locate her sister though. The child, however shall be of more use." She explained. Galaxia's expression softened into a wicked grin. Finally. It had been a year of searching, but they had finally been driven to Earth. Chi continued.
"But..." She began. Galaxia snapped her head up and glared. 'But'? She didn't like that word with reports. It never went with good news.
"It seems as if Sailor Earth guards 'her' as well. It will be most difficult." Galaxia kept the burning glare in her eyes. If looks could kill, Chi and Phi would have both been burning in the deepest regions of Hell at that time.
"Get rid of Sailor Earth. Send our secret weapon in." She ordered. Both gardeners kneeled.
"As you wish Madam/Lady Galaxia..." They said in unision and left. Galaxia turned to the large star-like object above her. She grinned.
"Soon, I shall have the two greatest powers in the known Universe..." She said, laughing evily...
***In Tokyo***
Terra shuddered for a brief moment, as she felt the air around her chill. She now wished she had worn her long sleeved uniform. But it had blood stains on the front. Because of those stains, she never washed it, so she was stuck. She would never be able to explain why she had those blood stains on it. No one would understand. No one would even care. But she did. She loved her guardian cat...
"It's...been about a year now I suppose." She said to herself, walking into the arcade. Andrew had just walked up the stairs, so she'd be alone for a few minuets. All she needed was a few seconds. She hurried to the Sailor V fighting game, and entered the command password 'Game Endless'. A stair case appeared and she ran down it. The door vanished from view, and she was alone in the Command Room. She hadn't been in there since...since that day. She looked over to a monitor, and then to the tile below it. There was a large blood stain on it. She ran her hand over the stain, remembering that day...the day before all Hell broke loose...
***Flashback***
"Damn cat!" Kaolinite shouted, throwing the copper colored Lunarian cat to the side. The animal hit the monitor with a sickening crack accompying it. Terrina's eyes went wild with anger and grief.
"COPPER!" She shouted, running. Blood spewed everywhere. She hated this. She hated seeing animals die. Puppies, Kittens, Bunnies, baby birds...she couldn't stand it. She was jealous of Sailor Moon. Moon had to power to heal and restore. Terrina wanted that power. Baby animals didn't have to die. No animal had to die. It was sad. And now Copper, her one true friend, was dead. And Terrina had no way to bring her back.
"Nobody hurts my cat!!" She shrieked in a blind fury. The two smaller gold orbs on each side of her Green Gem glowed brightly as she reached for her Key Wand. She had been forbidden to transform with it, but it didn't matter. Nothing mattered. The world, the people, the children...none of it mattered. She threw it into the air.
"Earth Power!!" She shouted, grabbing it. (Full Transformation scene. She's curled up in a fetal position, hovering in space. Her body is the Shilouet Version. A transparent Earth looms behind her, growing larger and engulfing her. The image explodes and she uncurls, standing, fully transformed)
"You're going down witch!" She shouted, grabbing her sword. She was angry. She was beyond angry. This woman was going to pay...
***End of Flashback***
Terra slammed her fist into a wall, tears pouring down her face. She wiped her eyes, and reached into her pocket, and pulled out a catnip mouse. The item was old and torn, but Terra always kept it with her. The catnip was gone from it. She squeezed it, and held it close to her heart. She had lost so many people dear to her. Her family, her friend, her cat...This wasn't fair.
"Damnit!" She shouted falling to the ground and slamming her fist into the tile, breaking it slightly.
'I'm sorry Copper. I love you. I'll get up.'
'Keep it up and she'll maim ya! Copper can be vicious!'
'Copper, I'm 44 years old. Are you just here to baby sit me?'
'Wow! What a pretty kitty! Gee kitty, you're so warm and fluffy...'
"...like a pillow." She whimpered, looking at the toy mouse. She looked to the dried up blood, and ran her hand over it again, before setting the toy on it. She stepped away and walked to a monitor. Life wasn't fair. Not to her. How did they do it? How come both Kakarot and Vegeta both managed to have good lives on this planet they were not from, and she had it hard? The Earth was her planet. And...it rejected her. Was it because she left it so long ago? She began to type, trying to locate that scout from earlier. She noticed a picture. It looked to be a family photo. Terrina, Terra, an older man, a pre-teen boy, and a baby girl were smiling goofily to the camera. Well...all but the baby. She was asleep in the boy's arms. She had deep blue hair that was quite long considering her age. She smiled, seeing it. She had filled this area with pictures of her life. The times she was happy. Another picture was of mainly her and the younger Terra. Both were in fighting Gi's. Terrina's was orange, with a green belt, and Terra's had been Green with an orange belt. Both girls each held a trophy that read '1st place'. She looked to the final picture. It was taken at a part the day she sealed everyone's memories away. It was a large group photo. Somehow, Serena and Gohan had managed to drag Vegeta and Piccolo into it. She was in her Princess dress, and Terra was being held on her brother's shoulders. Chibi Trunks was resting his head on Serena's as she held Chibi Goten like a teddy bear. Terrina grinned, when an alarm went off. The walls were sound proof, so no one heard it but her. It was the Sailor V game alarm. She kicked the wall, sending the rolling chair she was in to another monitor.
"Who the hell is doing so good?!" She cursed loudly. She typed on the keyboard, and saw through the security cams that Goten was only a level away from accessing the room.
"Oh shit!" She cried. How come she never realized it until now? She took control of one of the monsters in the game and did her best to get him to lose. There was no way she'd let them find this room. Not yet anyway. The technology would be impossible to explain at best. Normally she wouldn't have cared, but it was a celebration of some kind. Everyone was there. She had spotted the adults going upstairs. If Goten found the room, he would have called for the others. And she'd never have been able to lock up their memories in time to keep them from finding the group photo. The lock would have failed because of the Golden Crystal she had let him keep safe for her was still inside of him. But as luck would have it, she beat him. She'd have to install a new security program on the game. She went back to scanning, setting the alarm to go off if he reached level 10. Maybe now she could get some peace to work in. She continued her scans...
***In an Alleyway***
Sailor Phi landed on the ground softly, holding something in her arms. She stepped out of the alley and looked around. This wasn't a very good part of town, so she knew she couldn't leave her little surprise around here. She felt around, and decided the Capsule Corp. Building would be best. She started walking off, when a guy walked up to her.
"Hey..." Before he could say anything, he received a swift kick to the gut, causing him to fall over. She put her foot on his chest, and pushed down hard enough to send her three inch heel through his sternum and puncture his heart, killing him slowly. A wicked grin crossed her face, and she ran off, leaving him for dead.
"Foolish human...their bones crush so easily." She said to herself, her grin spreading. She continued running, holding on her little....'gift'. She ran towards Capsule Corp...
***At Capsule Corp***
"VEGETA! I said get out here!" Bulma screamed at the top of her lungs. Terra winced slightly, but no one noticed. Bulma was about 100 yards away, and her yelling could be heard perfectly. It was brutal on the Saiyan's ears. More yelling was heard. Serena went on eating along with Gohan. Terra had made it a habit of coming here every day to check on Trunks. No one knew that though. She just pretended to be spending time with her friends. Just then the door burst open and Bulma stormed in, dragging her cursing husband in by the ear. Terra thought she'd never see the day. She refrained from laughing, but she was splitting a gut on the inside. After a few choice words, Bulma plopped him down onto the couch about three seats away from Terra. The girl wrapped her tail around her waist tightly, conceling it further from view. Bulma sat in a chair, smiling politely.
"So, how's school?" She asked. Serena swallowed what she had been eating and began to talk.
"We've got this big English Test coming up. All I can say in English is 'Yes' and 'No'." She explained. Terra smiled to herself. She decided to speak up.
"Um...I can speak it fluently." She explained. Serena nearly choked and sat the plate down.
"WHAT?!" She demanded. Terra nodded. Serena smiled brightly, an idea popping into her head.
"Could you tutor me?" She asked. The girl nodded. Serena became very happy. Maybe now she wouldn't be so worried about taking her grades home. Chichi could get a little nasty about a C. (A.N- 'little'? Let's try 'REALLY'!) Vegeta looked to Terra. He had not fully decided if she was or wasn't Zephyr. She didn't have that gem, but he couldn't tell if she had the scar. She wore a strange watch over the wrist it would have been on. Her power was low, but then again she could have been hiding it from him. And her name was VERY close to Zephyr's chosen name 'Terrina'. Terra stood.
"Miss Bulma, where's the bathroom. Nature is calling and I'm not one to put it on hold." She explained. Bulma nodded and pointed down a hall.
"All the way to the end of the hall, and make a left, third door to the right." She said. Terra nodded and walked off. Turning the corner, she walked past the bathroom and down another hallway. She could feel the Silver Crystal and wanted to make sure Trunks was okay. Normally she wouldn't have cared either way, but he was Vegeta's son, was going to be her big brother someday, and as much as she and Vegeta would have argued until they were blue in the face, the two full Saiyans had once been good friends. She leaned in and looked through the tiny opening on the door to see Sailor Phi holding him up by the throat. Goten was unconscious. Her eyes widdened at the sight and she ran back to the bathroom to transform.
"Earth Crystal Power!" She called out. In a split second she had transformed. She ran out of the bathroom. She took a chair and shoved it against the doorknob to make it look like she had locked someone in there and ran back to the Hybrid's room. Phi was pulling the crystal out of his body, when Earth lept in and delivered a brutal kick to her face, leaving a bleeding mark. Phi growled and threw Trunks into the wall knocking him out as well. The fighters had heard the noise and also went to the room. Gohan's eyes went wide and he and Serena went to help the boys. As Serena put her arms around Trunks to lift him up, a blinding light came from his body. Earth used this distraction to teleport herself, Serena, Trunks, and Phi to a less populated area. Gohan opened his eyes and couldn't see them anywhere. He cursed and started to wake Goten...
***Outskirts of Satan City***
"Where am I?" Serena asked. A small, but powerful, crystal hovered of Trunks. She then looked back to the scouts.
"Time to die Sailor Brat!" Phi shouted, swinging her staff at Serena, only to have Earth's sword stop it. Serena gasped at the action and cowered away. Earth yelled at her.
"Princess! Take the crystal!" She shouted. Serena blinked at the word.
"Princess? Me?" She asked. Earth threw a Ki ball at Phi who jumped into the air, followed by the Saiyan girl. She looked down.
"Yes! That Crystal is yours! Grab it and call out 'Moon Eternal Power!'!" She called down again. Serena nodded and grabbed the item. Power flowed from it, and a yellow brooch with a crescent Moon at the bottom.
"Moon Eternal Power!" She called out transforming. Earth charged a small ball of Ki and fired it at Sailor Moon. The beam dispersed throughout her entire body and restored her memories. Every last one of them. She then looked back to Earth.
"You...were protecting me all this time..." She whispered. took her sword into both hand and swung it upwards.
"Space Turbulance!" She shouted. Phi growled and left. Serena looked to Trunks and de-transformed, lifting him up. Terra landed and sighed in shame.
"I'm so sorry Princess. I'll re-seal them." She said, holding her Key Pen up. Serena kicked it out of her hand, grabbing it. Terra gasped, but Serena giggled.
"No way Terra. You need help." She said. Terra de-transformed as well and wrapped her arm around her Princess's shoulders.
"So do you Moon Face." She commented. Just then a weak meow caught the Saiyan's attention. She gasped and turned around. Tears poured from her eyes.
"C...COPPER!" She gleefully shouted running over to the cat, lifting it up and kissing it. She was so happy, she spun around, hugging the animal.
"Copper! You're alive!" She said. The cat nodded.
"Yes...I am." She said. In the shadows Phi grinned. The package had been delivered...
