CHAPTER 1

 

“MERCURY AQUA MIRAGE!”

 

Sparkles of bright blue water emerged from Sailor Mercury's gloved hands. A sudden ball of massive water ran down the street devouring a large group of monsters. The sun had gone down. The large neon-lit Tokyo street was crowded not only with an endless mob of monsters and agents of The Negaverse, but also policemen barricading a huge gathering of screaming Sailor Moon fans and members of the press. The Sailor Scouts, preoccupied, paid no attention to the screaming fans.

 

From the looks of it, three of the girls were doing most of the work. Sailor Jupiter looked like Bruce Lee: a forceful kick to one youma's face, a hard uppercut to another, a low sweeping kick tripping three monsters to the ground at the same time. If a youma managed to get his hands on the brunette, Jupiter simply electrocuted them. Sailor Mars had easily burned several evil agents, but was very economical about it. She knew that too much fire could do more harm than good. Nevertheless, Mars' loud shouting was intimidating enough; juxtaposed with nimble martial arts, she was unstoppable. Sailor Venus simply held all her monsters back with a whip of her Venus Love Chain.

 

“Head's up,” The blonde heroine called out.

 

Ironically, the other four scouts crouched down as the Goddess of Love spun around, her chain extended, knocking several monsters clear out of the ballpark.

 

Immediately following her Aqua Mirage, Sailor Mercury broke a smile as she stepped back close to the girl she was meant to protect, her princess, Sailor Moon.

 

“Good shot Mercury,” Sailor Moon said giving another youma a hard kick in the chest. She unfortunately lost her balance and fell to the ground. The blonde ditz whined for a second before she opened her eyes to see Sailor Mercury before her.

 

“Here,” Mercury reached for Sailor Moon's hand and pulled her up. Sailor Moon stood eye to eye with her fellow scout.

 

“Thanks Mercury,” Sailor Moon smiled at her.

 

Even with gloved hands on, Amy loved holding her princess' hand. She was certain that Serena was still clueless to how the bluenette felt about her. They smiled at each other, staring into each other's eyes. Amy wanted to lean in and kiss those soft lips so badly, something she had desired to do for so many years.

 

“C'mon!” Serena said forcefully, “Let's get `em!” She raised her hand, still holding onto Amy's.

 

Mercury hesitated for a second before complying, “Yeah!”

 

The two of them ran side by side towards the enemy, hand-in-hand. Their interlaced fists ran into several monsters knocking them all to the ground.

 

Mars got herself in a fight with a huge scaly muscle-monster. He held onto the raven-hair's throat grinning. Her hands were preoccupied keeping the giant hands from crushing her throat.

 

“VENUS CRESCENT BEAM SMASH!” A spark of light hit the monster hard sending his burnt carcass flying. Sailor Mars kneeled down holding her throat in pain. The footsteps of Sailor Venus brought the priestess's head up to see the concerned blue eyes of Minako Aino. She kneeled down and helped her up. As Venus and Mars stood up eye to eye, Raye still holding her throat and breathing heavily, Mina placed her hands on the raven-hair's chest.

 

“You okay?” Mina asked without blinking.

 

“I'm all right,” Raye smiled and let go of her throat, “C'mon let's finish these off these bastards and go home.” She grabbed her blonde partner and kissed her on the lips. The kiss broke quickly and Raye let go of her partner.

 

“What are we gonna do tonight?” Mina asked playfully grabbing a hold of one of Raye's breasts.

 

Sailor Mars rolled her eyes and groaned, “For God's sakes Mina!” She slapped away the blonde's hand and tackled as many youma as possible.

 

Sailor Jupiter held onto one of the monsters and gave him a hard head-but. The monster's head almost split open, “How do you like that, Nega-trash?” The brunette turned around to see Mercury evading the attacks of another muscle-head monster. Her instincts forced her to pick up the enemy she had just defeated, and throw him right into Mercury's opposing foe. It worked like a charm, the monster was thrown directly into the side of a building.

 

“Thanks Jupiter,” Mercury smiled at her politely.

 

“You okay over there?” She asked her.

 

“Yes.”

 

Jupiter didn't want to take her eyes off of Mercury, but she reluctantly took her word for it and continued to give her enemies a lesson in mixed-martial arts.

 

Mercury didn't stand too far away from Sailor Moon, she was the princess's main body-guard, but she decided to pull out her communicator. She quickly pushed a few buttons and received Sailor Uranus on the other end.

 

“Uranus?” Mercury spoke through the phone.

 

“Yeah, Mercury?” Amara's voice came through the other end.

 

“How are you four holding out?” Mercury continued.

 

“Nothing we can't handle,” Uranus sounded confident, “Street is clean, doesn't sound so calm over there.”

 

“I think we can handle it, but you might want to come over here any-”

 

Mercury stopped dead silent as she saw the monsters clearing a pathway for a statuesque figure. The other four scouts all stopped as well upon seeing who it was appearing before them.

 

“Any what?” Amara's voice came through, “Hello, Mercury?”

 

“I gotta go,” Mercury said without taking her eyes off the street, “Get over as fast as you can.” She quickly put away her communicator and took her place in the Sailor Scout formation.

 

Like a football team, the Sailor Scouts each had their places. Sailor Moon stood in the middle, behind Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter (left to right respectively). Mina stood to the princess's left side, slightly ahead of her (trying to stand closer to Mars), while Mercury stood close to Sailor Moon's right side. Youma stood all around them but stayed their ground. The mob of civilians far behind them was conspicuously silent.

 

Amy could see Mina reaching out to grab Raye's hand. Even in the heat of battle, Mercury could not contain her desires. She held onto Sailor Moon's hand, fingers laced. Sailor Moon looked at her suspiciously. “Stay close to me,” Mercury whispered. The Meatball headed girl's attention immediately turned back forward.

 

The figure walking toward them materialized. It was a woman, a middle-aged woman standing tall, taller than Jupiter, with a thin physique. Her face appeared to be nothing more than slightly wrinkly skin covering her small skull. Her eyebrows were painted on her face. Her parted black hair had small curls lying on her forehead. Her black eyes scanned all five of the Sailor Scouts. They all knew who she was.

 

“Livia,” Sailor Mars stared angrily at her, “So you finally decided to show your ugly face?”

 

Her ugly face was accessorized by two large golden earrings, and her skinny chicken neck accented by a necklace of gold oval-shaped stones. Her robe was navy-blue. Standing in back of her was a man in black, his face covered by a black hood. The other girls didn't know who this was and didn't really care.

 

“I'm glad she came,” Jupiter said to Mars. She brought her hands up and cracked her knuckles, “Now I can beat the shit out of her!”

 

Mercury extended her hand towards Lita's shoulder to calm her down.

 

“Let's cut the small-talk, shall we?” Livia's British voice was deep and cold. “I didn't come here for a tea-party. I came here personally to ensure the destruction of Sailor Moon and her Sailor Scouts. With the five of you out of the way, I will finally take over this world!”

 

Venus burst out laughing. Her face fell forward. Sailor Mars turned to her slightly agitated. Jupiter couldn't help but chuckle herself. Sailor Moon smiled and looked at Mercury who's face was expressionless. Livia's shifting eyes focused on the orange-suited Sailor Scout, “What's so funny?”

 

“You really think,” Venus immediately smiled at Livia, “You can take down the Sailor Scouts? We've been fighting you Nega-creeps for five years!” She held her gloved hand up, showing five fingers. “You think you can take over the world? Why don't you ask Queen Beryl how she did taking over the world? Or better yet, ask Rubeus or Nehelenia how well they did trying to take us down.”

 

Jupiter laughed, “They're all dead, and we ain't.”

 

A roar of applause erupted from the controlled crowd standing far behind them. Venus turned her head to see them. She smiled, returning to see Livia and pointed her thumb towards their fans.

 

Livia simply shot her hands up. Electricity emerged from her hands. As she threw her hands forward, fire raced towards the heroes followed by an explosion. The blast sent several youma flying and several civilians in the back running.

 

The evil witch smiled as she watched the fiery smoke engulf the ground. But as the smoke cleared and the fire disappeared, her smile faded away.

 

A large clear shield appeared through the smoke, emerging from the glimmering light of Sailor Moon's wand. She held it in the air, standing tall, her boot-covered legs spread apart. Mars and Venus held onto each other. Jupiter was holding Mercury, although Mercury had her own arms to her chest. Jupiter looked at her and let go in embarrassment. Mercury immediately ran to Sailor Moon, holding onto her.

 

“Livia,” Sailor Moon brought her wand down. Her voice was serious, “If you think you can come to my home and threaten me and my friends, and get away with it, you better think again.” The other Sailor Scouts stood beside her.

 

“I,” she shouted angrily, “Am Sailor Moon. And I say, on behalf of the moon, I-“

 

“Will Punish You!” The crowd of fans behind them interrupted her famous line and started applauding. Sailor Moon smiled knowing her city was literally behind her.

 

Livia screamed in anger, “Attack them!” Youma chased after the Sailor soldiers. They seemed much more menacing this time. But they were all soon blown away:

 

“URANUS WORLD SHAKING!”

 

“NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE!”

 

“PLUTO DEADLY SCREAM!”

 

A blast of Earth, Ocean, and Underworld energy sent the youma flying back and knocked Livia to her back. The mysterious man in black ran towards her.

 

The five inner-soldiers watched Sailor Uranus, Neptune and Pluto all drop to the ground. Finally Sailor Saturn dropped in front of all three of them.

 

“What took you so long?” Sailor Mars snorted.

 

Uranus watched as the man in black helped Livia up. He tried to get her away, but Livia shook him off and stared at the group.

 

“That her?” Uranus jerked her head.

 

“Yeah,” Jupiter replied.

 

“If you guys can hold off the others,” Mercury said, “We'll take care of her.”

 

“You got it!” Uranus said. Holding Neptune's hand, the two of them quickly kissed and ran into the crowd of monsters. Pluto and Saturn soon followed.

 

Uranus could have easily punched a hole into the street killing all her opponents, but rather than having to deal with more legal trouble from the city, she simply threw shaking bombs one after another towards the enemy. Neptune jumped into the air and literally bounced off of their heads. Pluto swept plenty of them away with her garnet. Saturn, now a tall teenager, swung her glaive at the enemy.

 

While Sailor Mars, Jupiter and Venus kept enemies away, Sailor Moon and Mercury ran towards Livia. The evil witch tried shooting another bomb at them, but Sailor Moon's wand put a stop to it.

 

Livia was frightened. As her eyes shifted, she saw her army rapidly disappear like flies. Jupiter's Thunder combined with Mars' fire took out a dozen of them at a time. The outer-four soldiers were even more deadly. Sailor Saturn, though she may not have looked like much, was sending youma flying with her glaive. She could now see why all her predecessors had failed to stop her.

 

“Livia,” the man in black said, “Let's get out of here.”

 

He tried to pull the woman away, but she would not have it.

 

“Livia,” Sailor Moon put her hand out towards Mercury and stopped, “Don't give your life away, we really don't want to kill you. Leave here now and never come back!”

 

Livia's black eyes looked like they were about to explode, “DIE!” She ran towards the princess her hands filled with fire. Mercury instinctively reacted. As Sailor Moon prepared her wand, Mercury got in front of her:

 

“MERCURY ICE STORM BLAST!”

 

A blast of ice quickly emerged from Mercury's hands dissolving Livia's attack and freezing her fire-generated body at the same time. Livia screamed at the top of her lungs as her entire body was encompassed by snow and ice. A determined and angry Amy would not let up, she continued to blast waves of ice on the evil lady of the Negaverse until her body became a silent ice sculpture.

 

There were now very few Negaverse monsters left, but the smart ones ran away into the distance. The man in black stared at the frozen, lifeless Livia before bowing his head and vanishing into thin-air. The crowd behind the Sailor Scouts erupted in applause.

 

The other scouts all stood around Sailor Mercury and Sailor Moon who gazed upon the frozen woman in awe. Her mouth and eyes were wide open, her hands out in front of her. It was a chilling image. Mercury felt uneasy about what she had just done, like there would be some dire consequences that would result from this.

 

“Wow,” Neptune said staring at the ice-covered body.

 

Sailor Moon nudged Mercury out of the way and brought her wand up.

 

“Wait,” Venus stopped her smiling, “I've always wanted to do this.” She pointed her finger towards the ice-sculpture. She had a forced grave look on her face, “Hasta la Vista, Baby!” She said in a deep fake Austrian accent. A crescent beam emerged from her finger hitting Livia. The body of ice exploded into millions of tiny little pieces.

 

“Wow!” Mina jumped up and down like a little girl, “That was so awesome!”

 

Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn laughed slightly. Mars simply burned the remaining ice pieces into oblivion. There was now nothing left of the evil Livia. As Mercury scanned the ground, Venus continued to run her mouth off:

 

“I do a pretty good Schwarzenegger too, don't I?” She flexed her muscles and started imitating Arnold Schwarzenegger, badly “I'll be back! I am the Governator of Californ-i-a!”

 

“That's not bad,” Jupiter smiled.

 

“Yeah that's right,” an irritated Raye gave her a push at the shoulder, “Encourage her!”

 

Mercury got up and gave her friends a thumbs up, “She's gone.” Her blue goggles disappeared.

 

“Good work Sailor Scouts!” Sailor Moon said, “Nothing can stand in our way.”

 

“Except a mob of reporters and geeky fans,” Uranus said.

 

The girls turned around to see a group of reporters, cameramen, and fans, women AND men, all running towards them.

 

“Uh we're gonna get out of here,” Pluto said, “We're not fans of the media.”

 

“But don't quote us on that,” Neptune smiled at her friends.

 

“We'll talk tomorrow,” Uranus said getting ready to jump onto the building.

 

“Can I stay and talk to the fans?” Saturn asked with enthusiasm.

 

“No!” Pluto said.

 

Saturn moaned but acquiesced as she and her three parents jumped up into the night. The crowd had now just caught up with the inner-soliders.

 

“My People!” Sailor Venus said in a loud voice arms wide open, “You are free!”

 

“Will you stop it?” Raye angrily held on to her partner's arm.

 

“Sailor Mars,” one of the reporters asked, “Is it true you and Sailor Venus are in a relationship?”

 

Mars hung her head at the question. Venus simply embraced her lover. Many fans were trying as hard as they could to get their autographs or touch them. Jupiter, the best one for handling the press, tried to calm them all down:

 

“Listen guys,” Jupiter said loudly, “We can talk more another time, we're tired and we want to get out of here-“

 

Sailor Moon and Mercury stood behind the three of them. Sailor Moon smiled and put her hand on Mercury's shoulder, “Looks like you saved me again Mercury, my trusted body-guard.”

 

“Just doing my job,” Mercury said very matter-of-fact-like.

 

“I couldn't believe the way you went after her,” the blonde said, “Like she was going after your boyfriend or-“ She sighed and brought down her hand.

 

Amy knew exactly what was wrong, but asked anyway, “What's wrong.”

 

“I missed Darien today; no Tuxedo Mask throwing a rose and saving us.”

 

Serena brought her head down, but Amy lifted it back up and held onto her cheek, “Don't worry Sailor Moon, I'll always be there to protect you.”

 

Looking into her eyes, Mercury was reminded of her love for Sailor Moon. As the blonde smiled back at her, she could only help but wonder if Serena felt the same way. She hugged her and embraced her.

 

“Thanks Amy,” Serena said, “You are the best friend a girl could ask for.”

 

Although she meant nothing by it, Serena had no idea how much the word “friend” hurt Amy. Still, Amy returned the affection and acted as if everything was okay.

 

The two turned around to face the press. Sailor Moon looked into the camera and simply said:

 

“To all evil-doers out there, I say this: I am Sailor Moon, The Champion of Justice. And I say on behalf of the moon, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil!” She gave the camera her signature cross-arm pose.

 

“And that means you!” The other scouts and the rest of the crowd all shouted in unison.

 

 

End Notes:

 

So that's the end of the first chapter. I wanted to upload the prologue with this chapter at the same time because they are really one big opening. Almost like if this was a movie, the shot of Mercury using her Aqua Mirage attack in Death Valley would immediately cut to the begin of this chapter.

 

So this story should be fun, there will be a bit of skipping around the timeline (I wanted to do the story somewhat Quentin Tarantino style). A bit of swearing, it shouldn't really offend anyone, and mild yuri content for now, although that might change later. Favorite this story because I will try to update as often as possible.

 

Please review as well. I appreciate good comments and questions.
