Lasarius Chronicles: Chapter 3: Jennifer's POV: What's this guy doing here? The Starlights show themselves!

Author Notes: Ah! Finally! Chapter three! @_@ Between school and writers block, i'm surprised I got it out within a month.. By the way, if anyone is wondering why i'm not using any japanese terms in this story, it's because of this: I hand in these chapters as they are written to my english teacher for editing. Now, I can't really use japanese terms for english class. Besides, I hope non-anime fans wind up reading, and I don't want to confuse them (or anyone else, for that matter).

Yet another note: These stories will from now on be point of view stories. I learned that I am horrible at third person point of view (as chapter two should have shown ^_^;). And i'm going to be fooling around with the titles a bit. I'm going to try and make the titles more epesode-ish, like in the japanese epesodes of alla animes. Anyway, nuff of my rambling: on with the fic! ^_^;; Special thanks to CP for putting this on her site. ^_^

Lasarius Chronicles: Chapter 3: Jennifer's POV: What's this guy doing here? The Starlights show themselves!

Sighing and sweating in annoyance, I began to undertake the task before me. It wasn't the usual chore Neo Queen Selenity gave me, such as dishes or to train a less-experienced soldier in fighting. No, this one was somewhat different.

I had to restrain a soldier, if you could even call him that. I turned my head to look at Sailor Mercury, one of Neo Queen Selenity's close friends and the Sailor Senshi of water/ice. "What in all the Earths possessed you to ask Happosai for help??" I continued to hold onto the 3-foot-tall 90-year-old (possible older) man. I don't care if he can crush a 30-ton boulder with his finger, he's still a jerk.

Mercury blushed, I think from embarressment, "Well..He is a strong fighter."

"Woohoo!"

I looked down at the old man I was holding, begenning to twitch. "Get your hands away from there, you old fart!"

"Aaw.." Happosai withdrew his hands from my breasts.

This guy could really use a pounding.

I growled, "Know what? I am not going to restraint his guy. You asked for his help, and you're going to deal with him."

With that, I released the old man, who bounded away rather quickly. I looked to see Mercury's reaction.

Wow, she was actually twitching.

"Should I ask why Selenity wanted him restrained?"

"Ah..Well--"

"IIEEE!" "GIVE THOSE BACK!!" "GET BACK HERE!!"

Well, looks like I got my answer.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you look to your left, you will see Happosai carrying women's underwear and being chased by angry females.. Sighing, I walked away.

I could faintly hear the joyous sounds of Happosai being pounded by the girls..

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Let me at him! LET ME AT HIM!!!" Came the cry of a rather angry purple-haired eleven-year-old, who at the moment was being held (but struggling against) what looked like a two-legged orange rabbit with robot legs and left arm.

"Yolei, sugah, jus calm down!"

"I'M GONNA POUND HIM!!"

I sighed. This had 'Happosai' written all over it. Since the old fart got here, he's been nothing but trouble.

"Hey, Yolei, Bunnie."

"LET ME GO!!"

Sigh. Yolei has such a one-track mind.

Looking to the half-robot half-rabbit, "Lemme guess..Happosai?"

"If ya'll mean tha ol' human with a love fer womahn's underpants, then yup."

I grumbled something that I wouldn't want to say out loud under my breath. Stupid Happosai..

"I'M GONNA GET TH--"

"IIIEEEEE!!"

Yolei's rant was interupted by the screech. All three of us froze, turning to where the scream came from.

...Where there's trouble, there's Happosai.

..And where there's Happosai, there's at least one angry girl chasing him.

"Ah. Akane! Hi!" I yelled somewhat cheerfully to the angry short-black-haired girl, who was chasing Happosai with a rather large mallet.

"..I really have to get one of those hammers." I could hear Yolei mumble.

Bunnie let go of Yolei at this, probably so she wouldn't attract some odd suggestions from the more sick-minded soldiers, "Is th' ol' guy always lahk this?"

It took me a moment to translate the cowboy-accent speech in my mind. "Um, yeah, pretty much."

"YES!!" Yolei bounded off, now free from Bunnie's grip, joining Akane in chasing Happosai.

"He's..He's not gonna go ohn any missiahns..Is he?"

Wow, that was almost completely without any accent. "I really hope not."

I couldn't help but grin when Akane and Yolei caught up to Happosai. Hehe.."Pound him one for me, guys!!"

---------------------------------------------------------

"So it's agreed that the four on the rescue mission would be Rattrap from the Maximals, Ryoko from Tenchi's group, Heero from the Gundam pilots and Espio from the Chaotix. Correct?"

Donna, who sat next to me in yet another auditorium meeting, nodded. "I figured since it's an in-out mission, we should be as quick and silent as possible. Those four were the first to come into my mind for this mission."

I gagged a bit, "You're putting Rattrap and Ryoko on the same mission?!"

Donna blinked at me, "Um..Yeah..I mean, Rattrap is a spy, and Ryoko can do that neat teleporting thing.."

"Are you insane?! Rattrap has a mouth i'm not even sure Espio can handle, and he's the silent-brooding-cynical type!"

Donna blinked again. "Um..Jen, have you been eating sugar again?" I growled in frustration. "Ryoko and Rattrap would sooner blow each other up."

Silence in the auditorium. Strangely, it was silent throughout our entire argument.

Which was rather odd, considering there were at least fifty to a full hundred different leaders from the various teams here. Looking around at their expression, I noticed a mix of amused, shocked, surprised, and some even horrified expressions.

I sighed. Many of them didn't know who those four warriors were, nevertheless why they shouldn't be on the same team. "Let me put it this way so everyone can get it. Rattrap is a cynical robot who's alternate mode is a rat-like vehicle. He's proud of his rat form. His favorite past time is digging through trash, literally. He's proud that he digs through trash, and makes fun of alot of other people for what they do. Rattrap is also a guy. Ryoko is a female former space-pirate. She's proud to be a wanted criminal in half of the universe she's from. She loves Tenchi, who's sitting up three rows and to the left once from me." Tenchi blushed furiously at that. "She's even appeared naked to Tenchi at least once, if i'm not mistakened. She would kill a princess for him, and has tried. She's proud to be an attempted murderer. You see why they wouldn't get along now?"

Mumbling and whispering throughout the auditorium at this. Tenchi was silent, blushing a furious red and slinking down in his chair. He probably didn't want to be here at this point. Heck, he probably would prefer being in battle than being here.

"..You've seen her naked?" "HEY!"

Boy, Tenchi really didn't want to be there. Heh.

Donna sighed. "You painted the picture very well, Jen. But, still, they are the best combination we can get."

"And that's what scares me, D."

"And who would you send, Jen? Happosai?"

"Which brings us to our next topic.."

I blinked at the interuption from Neo Queen Selenity.

"Next topic?"

"Happosai."

I laughed. He's become this much of a problem that he's become a meeting topic? More importantly, he's become a problem to Neo Queen Selenity?

A strange thought crossed my mind.

"Um, your highness, has Happosai stolen anything from you?" Neo Queen Selenity twitched an eyebrow. Strange for her, as she hardly shows anger. "Yes."

"What in the--HEY!!"

Blinking in slight surprise at the outburst, I looked to Donna.

"What--" Looking out the window she was pointing out of, I spotted what I knew was going to become a regular sight. Happosai 'sneaking' (he probably had no idea that we could see him) out of one of the houses. Carrying woman's underwear and bras.

"HEY!! That's MY room!!" Lina Inverse yelped, running towards the window.

Neo Queen Selenity twitched an eyebrow once again. "Dismissed." Lina took that as permission to run after Happosai, jumping out of the first-floor window with a yell of, "FIREBALL!!" I laughed. Hard. This was just too funny.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, Genki, Centaur." I greeted somewhat cheerfully to the two 'Monster Rancher' realm warriors. The chaos Happosai caused earlier made me pretty happy.

"Hey there, Miss Jen!" The ten-year-old boy, Genki, replied just as cheerfully, if not more so. His name doesn't mean 'energy' for nothing.

Centaur didn't reply at all, stareing out into nothing.

"Uuh.." I blinked. Centaur was more out of it than usual.

Genki seemed to realise it, too, "Hey, Centaur? Are you okay?"

Still no response. Hmm..

"Earth to Centaur, are you there?"

"They're gone."

..Well, at least it was a kind of response.

Genki frowned, but then smiled a moment later, "Don't worry, Centaur! Once we find the Phoenix back on our world, Celious will be alive again!"

Reminding myself for what must have been the billionth time that in the 'Monster Rancher' realm, when creatures there die (excluding humans), they turn into 'Lost Discs' (which look like large stone CDs).

Genki and his friends back on that world were looking for the legendary monster, the Phoenix, before Neo Queen Selenity got their help. The Phoenix was told to be able to bring Lost Discs back to life and defeat their enemy, Moo.

Why a big bad enemy was named after a sound cows make, I will probably never know. Centaur was still silent at Genki's attempt to cheer him up. If anything, he frowned even more.

Something wasn't right...

"Centaur, what's wrong?" Genki asked, probably not understanding why Centaur didn't respond.

It then hit me. "Centaur..Which world did Celious die at? Yours or this world?"

Centaur was silent for a moment. "This world."

Genki looked confused, "I don't get it. What difference would it make?"

I frowned deeply. I was worried about this. "Centaur, when Celious died..did he turn into a Lost Disc?"

Genki still looked confused, "Of course he did, why shouldn't he?"

Centaur responded after a short silence, "..No."

"What??" Genki yelped.

I looked to the ground, understanding. "I was afraid this would happen. In this world, they don't turn into Lost Discs. They're the same as humans here, probably because there is no Phoenix here. No way for them to return to life even if the Phoenix in your world is summoned."

Genki turned as white as a sheet sometime while I was talking, "Wh-what??"

I frowned, thinking. If the ones from Genki's world are as vulnerable as the human warriors, then..

"I'm going to tell Neo Queen Selenity to call an emergency meeting. Genki, tell the others in your team about this." Genki nodded, still in an odd form of shock, "O-okay." And with that, he raced off.

I looked to Centaur, who still looked into oblivion, before I walked off.

If my suspicions were correct, many more could suffer the same fate as Celious in this war, without the benefit of being reborn..

-------------------------------------------------------------

"What do you mean that the Digimon won't be reborn??"

Oy. Now it was getting annoying.

"This is the third time i'm explaining this, Daisuke. Davis. Whatever you wanna be called."

Daisuke (self-nicknamed Davis), the 10-year-old leader of the younger Digidestined (Digimon) group sure had a thick skull. Either that, or no brain. It's still being debated. "If the Digimon die, they won't turn into little specs of digital data like in their world. They'll jus plop down dead like humans. Understand now?" Just gotta keep it simple..

"But..Why??"

I felt like banging my head against a wall. Hard. Repeatedly. Donna chuckled a bit from her seat in the auditorium. Well, Selenity called the emergency meeting for this discussion. Now it was only a matter of time before the idiot leaders of the various teams got the information through their thick skull. At my exasperated sigh, Donna took over the explaining. "Davis, the Digimon here are made of flesh and blood just like when you're turned into digital data in their world, so--.." Donna paused at the completely confused look on Davis's face.

Seesh. How did he become leader, anyway?

Donna sighed, "They just do, okay?"

---------------------------------------------------------------- --

Following morning, ten AM:

They came, they saw, they got their butts kicked.

At least, that's my interpretation of Ryoko's story on the rescue mission.

Yesterday afternoon, Ryoko, Rattrap, Heero and Espio went on what was origonally a three-hour mission.

They wound up trudging in at about six this morning, all except Ryoko injured horribly, and lacking the reason of the rescue mission. "Where's Dragoon??" Donna really seemed worried about Dragoon, even though she's never met him personally.

Ryoko frowned. "Well, you see.."

I sighed. "He's dead, huh?"

"Um..Yeah." Ryoko looked to the ground with a slight frown. I didn't think Ryoko would be upset over anything like this. She is a proud-to-be space pirate, after all.

Donna blinked, frowning deeply herself. "Oh, man..Centaur is going to be majorly upset."

I frowned. "Ryoko, are you okay?"

Ryoko responded with a punch into the wall of a nearby building, "I can't believe that I had to be rescued!!."

I blinked. Donna blinked.

"Um..Wha?" Well, that was probably the most intelligent thing i've said all day.

Ryoko huffed. "We almost got caught. Well, except for me. I could have gotten myself out of it, but I couldn't take the others." She suddenly took a 'I am the greatest person alive' expression, "Yup, i'm such a great person, I stayed for the others.."

Uh-huh. Right. She probably couldn't find a way out at all.

"Anyway, after we found that the guy we were suposto save was already ka-put, a hell lot of the enemy surrounded us. Rattrap kept on saying that we were all going to die at that moment, but I was sure we would get out."

Well, the Rattrap part was believable. His most-used quote is "We're all gonna die." I wasn't too sure about her 'courage', though. "I was just about to blast all those petty humans away--.." She stopped for a moment, looking at us. "Um, no offence."

I grumbled, "None taken."

"Anyway. I was about to blast em away, but a yell of 'Star Sensitive Inferno' came from no where and blasted them away instead! Then a new voice that seemed to echo from everywhere told us to escape. So, we did."

I blinked. Alot. "Star Sensitive Inferno?" I looked to Donna, "..What the hell is a star sensitive inferno?"

Donna sighed, "You don't remember?"

What the heck was she talking about? "What the hell are you talking about?"

"The Starlights, Jen.."

I blinked. Suddenly, I remembered. "Wait..You mean the three sailor senshi from the final season of the Sailor Moon cartoon from our world?"

She nodded. "Sailor Starhealer, Sailor Starmaker, Sailor Starfighter.."

I blinked. I seemed to be doing a lot of that today. "Aren't they suposto be on their own planet with their own princess?" Donna sighed in exasperation. I don't know why she was so frustrated, though. "Yes, Jen, but mabye they heard of the trouble here and decided to help..?"

"Oh..Oh, yeah! Mabye!"

Ryoko looked from Donna to me and then back to Donna several times. "I have no idea what you two are talking about." I smirked, "Don't fret about it, Ryoko. We'll explain it to everyone later."

---------------------------------------------------

"Wh..What? The Starlights are arriving here soon?"

I blinked for what must have been the billionth time today. I've never seen Neo Queen Selenity in so much shock before.

"Uh..What are the Starlights, exactly?"

I sweated slightly at the question from Lina Inverse. Oh, where to begin..

..Too bad I never got to explaining it myself.

"Basically, they're three other Sailor Senshi with very skimpy outfits who have their own princess to protect that helped Neo Queen Selenity when she was Eternal Sailor Moon about a thousand years ago. Right?"

I sweated at Donna's explanation. Neo Queen Selenity sweated, too.

Heck, everyone probably sweated at it.

"..Well, i'm right, right?" Donna chuckled nervously.

I saw Ranma Saotome (Ranma 1/2) raise an eyebrow, "Skimpy outfits?"

Donna chuckled nervously again. Oh, this should be fun to hear.

"Well, yeah. Their uniform was basically a bra, a tiara, really short pants, and really really high boots. All in black."

I could barely keep from laughing. Well, atleast she got it right. But I could still add one more thing to make it sound even weirder, "And they can transform into guys!"

Silence filled the auditorium. Hehehehe..
