DISCLAIMER: I don't own Sailor Moon or any of the characters, blah, blah, blah.

NOTE: This story takes place after Sailor Stars, however, I haven't seen Sailor Stars, so forgive me if I miss a plot point or two. Also, I'm gonna go for American attack names here… *begs forgiveness from the purists*

Sammy, still dressed in his Masked Warrior costume, walked down the street toward his house.

"Oh yes, I am victorious once more, for I am the Masked Warrior!" Sammy declared.

"Sammy, hey, wait up!" yelled a voice from behind Sammy. Sammy turned around.

"Ami?" Sammy said.

Ami ran up to Sammy.

"Sammy… er… Masked Warrior," Ami said, "thank you again."

"Don't mention it," Sammy said. "You saved me too… I already told you that."

"Yeah, I know," Ami said.

"Look, Ami, if you really don't want me to be the Masked Warrior anymore, I understand. I'll go home and throw the costume away, okay?"

"No, that's okay," Ami said. "Don't give up on your dreams because of me!"

"My dream?" Sammy asked. "Being the Masked Warrior isn't my dream… I became the Masked Warrior to protect you!"

"And you're doing a great job!" Ami said. "I just didn't want you getting hurt…"

Ami sighed.

"We've been through this so many times before," Ami said. "Look, I know! Maybe tomorrow, I'll get us a pair of walkie-talkies. I'll give you one, and then if I need help, I'll call on you, and you can spring into action, okay? That way, you don't need to get hurt if you don't have to."

"That sounds really cool, Ami!" Sammy said.

"Well, I've got to go now," Ami said. "I need to get ready for my big date with Greg!"

"I hope you two have fun!" Sammy said. "Greg's a really lucky guy to have someone like you."

Sammy looked down at the ground, rather dejectedly. Ami smiled

"Sammy…." Ami sighed. "I'm sure that one day, you'll find someone special for you too!"

"Really?" Sammy asked.

"Sure! What about that one girl… Mika's her name, isn't it?" Ami said. "The doll-making girl?"

"She's making glass sculptures now," Sammy said. "There's this one that she made of a swan, and it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!"

Sammy smiled.

"See?" Ami said. "Are you two still friends?"

"Yeah, you saw her at my birthday party, didn't you?" Sammy asked. "She's like my best friend, besides Rick, of course. Maybe I could ask her to go out on a date with me!"

"Maybe next week, you and Mika could double-date with Greg and I!" Ami suggested. Sammy frowned.

"No, we can't," Sammy said. "I just remembered. Mika already has a girlfriend…"

"Who is it?" Ami asked.

"Rick," Sammy said. He started to laugh. "Isn't that ironic? My best friend and my best female friend are going out?"

Sammy sighed again. Ami patted Sammy on the head.

"Don't do that," Sammy said angrily. "I'm taller than you now!"

Sammy immediately winced.

"Oops," Sammy said. "I'm sorry I snapped at you like that…"

"It's okay," Ami said. "You know, you're only about an inch taller than me anyway!"

Ami giggled.

"Well, I really have to go now," Ami said, walking past Sammy. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

"Alright!" Sammy said, waving to Ami and smiling.

Later that night, at Ami's house…

"I wonder if this looks good?" Ami said. She was standing in front of her mirror and holding up a blue blouse. "This goes well with my hair… but it might be a bit too fancy…"

Ami put the blouse down. She sat on her bed and sighed.

"I can do calculus and chemistry without any trouble at all, but I can't even decide what to wear on a date," Ami sighed. "Wait… I know!"

A few minutes later, Ami had decided on a modest pink flannel jacket with a black tanktop underneath and a fairly high pink skirt.

"I don't wear pink often, but I think Greg will like it!" Ami said happily. She looked at her watch. "It's 7:58… almost time…"

The doorbell rang.

"Ami, it's Greg!" Ami's mom yelled from downstairs. "Have fun on your date!"

Ami ran downstairs and opened the door to see a smiling Greg, who was wearing a white dress shirt with a green vest and blue jeans.

"Hello, Ami!" Greg said, handing Ami a bouquet of roses. "You're looking beautiful tonight!"

"Oh, thank you, Greg!" Ami said, blushing. "So, shall we go and eat dinner now?"

"Alright," Greg said. "Let's go!"

Meanwhile, in the park in the center of Juuban, Letine and Alexis were formulating an evil plan.

"You know what to do, Letine," Alexis said. "Distract the other four Senshi while I grab the girl and take her back to the castle."

"You said you knew her secret identity!" Letine said. "You know, Sailor Mercury! You have to tell me who she is!"

"No, I don't," Alexis said. "You have a job to do."

"You're not the boss of me!" Letine shrieked. Alexis simply turned and walked toward the entrance of the park. "Why you… hmph! Fine!"

Letine stomped off in the opposite direction.

---

Meanwhile, Serena, Rei, Mina, and Lita were standing on the front porch to Serena's house.

"Well, I guess while Ami's on her date, we can all chill out here and watch scary movies!" Serena said. "I rented Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2!"

"Serena, those aren't scary," Rei said. "They're comedy movies!"

"I know!" Serena said. "They're the only horror movies that won't give me nightmares!"

"Serena, you wimp!" Rei yelled. "You just don't have the gonads to watch a REAL horror movie."

"Er, Rei…" Lita said. "We're girls. We don't have-"

"I KNOW THAT!" Rei shrieked. "I was just saying-"

"Let's just chill out and watch the movies, okay?" Mina asked. "Although I would have liked to see The Blair Witch Project more…"

"Toooo scary!" Serena shouted.

"What a wimp," Rei muttered.

Suddenly, a large explosion sounded in the distance. The four girls turned around to see a huge fireball rising up from a row of trees near Serena's house.

"Oh no!" Lita yelled. "Not again!"

"We never get to have fun anymore," Serena said.

"Evil never quits!" Mina stated. The door opened.

"Girls, are you coming in?" Serena's mom asked. "I heard an explosion!"

"Um, sorry, Mrs. Tsukino, but we have to go… uh…. do something!" Rei said.

Serena's dad appeared in the doorway.

"You girls shouldn't be out when there's explosions around," Serena's dad said. "You should be in here where it's safe."

"Bye!" the four girls yelled, running off.

"Teenagers," Serena's dad sighed. "Why can't Serena be more like that nice blue-haired girl? What was her name again?"

"Ami," Serena's mom said.

"Right! Ami!" Serena's dad said. "You know, I think our boy Sammy has a crush on her."

"I thought Sammy's friend Rick had a crush on her," Serena's mom said.

"No, Sammy's friend Rick likes that Mika girl," Serena's dad said.

"I thought Sammy liked Mika," Serena's mom said.

Meanwhile, at the restaurant…

"This place is really nice," Greg said. "And very expensive."

"Why won't you let me pay for all of it?" Ami asked.

"I can't do that," Greg said. "You've got a lot of money, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of you…"

"You're such a gentleman, Greg," Ami said. "That's why I like you!"

Meanwhile, just outside the restaurant, Alexis was lurking.

"There she is," Alexis said, observing Ami through the window. "Soon, you shall be mine, my beautiful angel. All mine."

The four Senshi, now transformed, ran past the row of trees and into a huge column of flame. The Senshi shrieked and backed off from the flames. They dissipated, revealing Letine floating above them.

"Hello, Senshi!" Letine cackled. "Are you ready to die?"

"We've fought you so many times, and it's getting really boring!" Sailor Moon yelled.

"This time, we're putting you away!" Sailor Mars declared.

"I hope you have some new tricks, you old dog!" Sailor Jupiter yelled.

"Is that the best you could come up with?" Letine asked. "Those will be your last words!"

"Oh yeah?" Jupiter yelled. "Take this!"

Sailor Jupiter pointed her arms at Letine.

"Jupiter… Oak… Evolution!" Jupiter shouted, firing a huge tornado of leaves, wood, and lightning at Letine. Letine laughed. The lightning and organic material began to circle around her.

"Have you forgotten?" Letine yelled. "My best attack! If I could turn a pathetic sticker into a lethal weapon, just think of what I could do with an attack that's actually worth something!"

Sailor Mars growled. Sailor Jupiter put up her fists in a defensive stance. The lightning, wood, and leaves began to come together into the form of a giant sledgehammer.

"What's going on?" Jupiter yelled.

"This is gonna be bad," Venus said. "Someone stop her!"

The sledgehammer raised up above the Senshi, then came back down with incredible force. Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus pointed their arms at the sledgehammer.

"Mars… Flame… Sniper!" Sailor Mars shouted, igniting the wood and leaves with a burning flame.

"Venus… Love Chain Encircle!" Sailor Venus yelled, firing a chain into the heart of the burning sledgehammer. The sledgehammer absorbed both of the attacks and collapsed in on itself.

"You guys did it!" Sailor Moon shrieked. "Alright!"

"No… they just made it stronger!" Letine shouted. The fire, lightning, and metal whirled into a huge tornado, and then collapsed on Letine. Letine lit up with a bright white flash. When the flash disappeared, Letine was standing on the ground in front of the four Senshi, holding a large sword in her right hand.

"A… sword?" Sailor Jupiter stammered.

"A magical sword," Letine said. "With all of the powers of Sailor Mars, Jupiter, and Venus! I'll show you!"

Suddenly, three large, burning chains shot out from the sword and wrapped themselves around Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. The chains rose up, lifting the three Senshi into the air.

"What is this?" Sailor Mars growled angrily.

"Jupiter Electrical Blasts!" Letine yelled. Bolts of electricity shot up the three chains and shocked all three Senshi. The Senshi screamed loudly as the electricity coursed through their bodies.

"Stop that!" Sailor Moon shouted. "Stop it now!"

"Fine," Letine said. The chains disappeared, and the three Senshi fell to the ground onto their knees.

"So powerful…" Sailor Venus moaned.

"That hurt…" Jupiter said weakly.

"Our own attacks…" Sailor Mars whimpered.

Letine pointed the sword at Sailor Moon.

"It's your turn, Moon Princess," Letine said. Sailor Moon pointed her henshin stick at Letine.

"Bring it on," Sailor Moon said with determination.

Meanwhile, back at the restaurant…

"This has been a wonderful supper," Ami said.

"Ami, that was just the appetizer!" Greg said. "We've still got a whole main course coming!"

"Really?" Ami groaned. "Oooh… my stomach…"

"You shouldn't fill up on appetizers before your meal!" Greg said. "That's how they get you!"

Ami giggled.

"I ate like Serena, didn't I?" Ami asked. Greg laughed.

"Oh, Ami," Greg chuckled. "I'll eat your food for you, okay?"

Suddenly, the door in the restaurant opened. A man with long, black hair walked through the door.

"Excuse me, sir," the receptionist said, walking up to the man. "Do you have a reserva-"

The black-haired man stabbed the receptionist through the stomach with a large, curved katana. The receptionist gasped, then fell to the ground. Alexis pulled his sword out of the receptionist and glanced at Ami. Their eyes met. People that had seen Alexis stab the receptionist began fleeing the restaurant in horror.

"Oh my dear God," Ami gasped, dropping her fork onto her plate and getting up from the table. "It can't be…"

"Who is that, Ami?" Greg asked, standing up and looking at Alexis.

"Someone terrible," Ami said. "Greg, you have to leave, now."

Alexis slowly began to walk toward Ami.

"I can't transform here," Ami whispered. "Not with all these people still here."

"Most of them are leaving," Greg whispered. Alexis walked right up to Ami and Greg.

"Did I interrupt you, my dear?" Alexis asked.

"Wait a second," Ami said. "What did you say?"

"I know your secret, Ami Mizuno," Alexis said. "Or should I say… Sailor Mercury?"

Greg stepped in front of Amy defensively.

"I don't know who you think you are, but you leave Ami alone!" Greg shouted. Alexis grabbed Greg's neck and lifted him off the ground.

"Greg!" Ami screamed.

"Is this your boyfriend?" Alexis asked. "Funny, I thought you and the kid were together."

"Sammy's a special friend of mine, but not my boyfriend!" Ami said. "Leave Greg and Sammy alone!"

Alexis squeezed Greg's neck, hard. Greg passed out immediately. Alexis dropped the unconscious Greg on the table.

"You killed him!" Ami yelled.

"No, I knocked him out," Alexis said. "But he's not the reason I want you, Ami."

"What do you mean?" Ami asked.

"It's about the boy," Alexis said. "Samuel Shingo Tsukino. The foolish brat who tried to kill me."

Alexis grabbed Ami by the neck.

"He'll come for you," Alexis said. "He loves you."

"DON'T TOUCH SAMMY!" Ami yelled, with a fury unnatural to her demeanor. She grabbed Alexis' arm that was around her neck and began pressing her fingernails into it.

"Bad idea," Alexis said. He reached up with his other arm and slapped Ami across the face. Her grip on Alexis' right arm loosened, and she fell limp, knocked out by Alexis' blow. Alexis picked up the blue-haired girl and casually walked out of the restaurant, ignoring the stunned looks from bystanders.

Meanwhile, Sammy was up in his room, surfing the Net on his computer.

"Let's see here…" Sammy said, typing quickly. "I'm gonna find some tips for Spoils of War IV. I'll check GameFAQs. They've got good strategies."

Sammy began typing the URL on his computer.

"You've got mail," came a voice from Sammy's speakers.

"E-mail, huh?" Sammy said. "It's probably from Rick."

Sammy went into his e-mail and clicked on his Inbox icon. One new e-mail came up.

"The subject says…. To The Masked Warrior?" Sammy said, stunned. "What the heck?"

Sammy clicked on the e-mail. His eyes became wide with fear.

"Oh no…" Sammy gasped.

---

The e-mail read:

Hello, Sammy.

You thought you defeated me before, hmmm? Remember me? It's your old pal, Alexis. It seems you've been really busy. I saw your costume; it sucks. Anyway, what I really wanted to say.

A picture in the e-mail showed Ami, tied to a chair in a dark room.

I have your nerdy girlfriend Ami. Or should I say Sailor Mercury. I was going to have a bit of fun with her, but first, I'm going to give the famous Masked Warrior a chance to come rescue her. You'd better hurry. Don't tell anyone about this e-mail, and come alone. You may be thinking: "This is just like last time." Oh no, Sammy. It is NOT like last time.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, and you'd better: Right outside your house is a red portal. Step into it. I'll be waiting on the other side with you-know-who. Don't worry, this will be a one on one fight. Letine is busy fighting the other Senshi, which is the way it should be. I'll be waiting for you, Sammy, the Masked Warrior.

Signed, your biggest fan and your worst enemy,

Alexis of the Darkspawn

"Ami…" Sammy gasped. "That sick son of a… grrr… argh!"

Sammy ran to his bed and grabbed the sword that was kept under it. He ran over to his closet and took out the Masked Warrior costume.

"I don't know HOW he found out the identities of me and Ami, but if he wants the Masked Warrior, he's got him!" Sammy shouted.

The stage is set… oh yes! Alexis vs. Sammy, next! And also the conclusion of Letine vs. the Sailor Senshi… a pair of battles to shake the pillars of Heaven itself! If you want to see it, review. Heck, I'll write it no matter what, but can you still review? Please?

Author's Note: By the way, I'll also be starting another fanfic on Friday. Cowboy Bebop: The Funnier Sessions is almost here. If you're a Cowboy Bebop fan, be sure to look for it! Don't worry, I'll still be writing this one too!
