Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Scouts in america ❯ Darkness falls. ( Chapter 1 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Chapter 1: Darkness falls.

Sailor moon is the property of Toei (I guess) the American names are the property of
DIC. All new characters are mine except for the guilded rose. He's the idea of my friend
AOL nickname gcl1969.

Rei is having one of her vision nightmares. She is standing on a dead ground with
nothing growing. She looks up and sees a temple that is crumbling.

"What is going on here?" Rei asks.

Suddenly the temple roof explodes and a huge beam of light shoots outs into space and
envelops everything.

"Arghhh." Rei screams.

She wakes up with a start in a cold sweat.

"Are you okay?" Serena asks.

Rei looks around forgetting that she is on a plane.

"What's up Rei?" Ami asks from another seat.

"I just had a nightmare. I think it was a vision." Rei responds sleepily.

"Maybe cause we are gonna be in a new land soon. Don't worry I am sure we will have
fun." Ami says smiling.

The others nod and lay back. After a few hours the plane lands in California. They exit
the plane and look around.

"Wow it sure is hot here." Ami says.

"Yeah really. It's more hot than my powers." Rei says.

"The heat must be getting to you. Did you just crack a joke?" Lita asks.

They enter customs and show their passports. They get their baggage and finally the
cages with familiar cats.

"It's about time we got here. I did not like riding in a cage for that long." Luna says
stretching.

"Me neither." Artemis says.

Luna scratches at the door.

"Sorry we can't let you out until we get to our host family's house." Mina says.

Luna meows irritated. When they enter the lobby, Serena tries to pick up on
conversations but can't.

"Don't worry much. I heard that the family we are gonna live with know enough
Japanese and are willing to teach English." Ami says.

Ami sees a sign with the word exchange students in Japanese and points it out to
everybody else. They walk on over.

"Welcome to America. I will take you to your family." Says the man in near perfect
Japanese.

"Thank you. We are glad that you are welcoming us." Ami says in good English.

"So you do know some English." The man says in Japanese.

Serena starts to try to say something in English but gives up.

The man laughs and says, "Ah so not all of you know our language. Do not worry, your
family are very good teachers."

They all go outside and get inside a nice big car. They drive for about a half an hour to a
house. They enter the house and Serena does a double take when she sees similar features
to her own. The hosts bow.

"I see that you are surprised. We are very into Japanese traditions." The woman says in
English.

The scouts bow back. They settle down and rest from jet lag. That night they get up and
have dinner. The dinner consists of traditional Japanese food and chopsticks. Serena of
course is clumsy with them. The others laugh at her. Serena gets a red face. Meanwhile a
beam of energy strikes the ground nearby and 3 humanoids appear from it. One of them
takes out a device and looks around.

"Does it detect the crystal?" One of the men asks.

"Yes. The crystal seems to be inside that house." The woman responds pointing to the
house that the scouts are in.

"I sense great power in that house. Power that could be a problem for us." The second
man says.

The woman takes out a pouch and a slimy creature.

"This will take care of them." The woman says.

The woman puts the creature on the ground.

"Go and find the crystal and infest a host." The woman says.

The creature moves with a surprising speed into the house and past the girls. They don't
notice it cause they are busy eating. The creature goes into a room and sees a power
healing crystal. It then crawls back into the kitchen and crawls up Ami. But a force repels
it. Amy slaps her side.

"What is it Ami?" Lita asks.

"Oh nothing. I thought I felt something on my face." Ami says.

The creature climbs up the man's head and into his ear. The man's face changes and his
eyes glow. He stands up.

"What's wrong John?" The woman asks.

"I want to go check up on our crystal." John says.

"In the middle of dinner?" The woman asks.

"Yes." John says.

He walks into the room and takes the crystal. His eyes glow brighter. His wife enters the
room and is flung backwards by a blast of energy from the crystal.

"John." The woman yells.

John rushes outside and just stands there glowing. Luna and Artemis follow the girls
outside. The girls rush into the alley and transform. The three figures appear next to the
man.

"Give us the crystal now." The woman says.

"Okay that is far enough. I am sailor moon and in the name of the moon I will punish
you." Sailor moon yells.

"Sailor? You mean there are others?" The man asks.

"Shut up." The woman scolds.

"Love chain encircle." Venus yells.

The chain latches onto John's arm and forces him to drop the crystal. But with a speed
that shocks the scouts, the 3 figures pick it up.

"We have what we came for. Now destroy them." The woman says.

The 3 disappear.

"Mars celestial fire surround." Rei yells.

"Mercury shine aqua illusion." Ami yells.

"Jupiter thunder clap zap." Lita says.

The attacks converge and bring the monster down to his knees.

"Moon spiral heart…" Serena starts to say.

Suddenly a huge beam of dark energy shoots outs and strikes Serena, breaking her wand
in half.

"No!" Serena yells.

The scouts get a glimpse of a dark figure in a male suit. But the figure quickly jumps
away.

The monster jumps on top of Sailor moon and prepares to finish her off. Suddenly a rose
flies and pierces the monsters' chest.

"Tuxedo mask? No I can't be him." Serena says.

But then she sees that the rose is golden instead of red. Suddenly a blur jumps on top of
the monster and beats it up. Finally the figure appears and finishes the monster off with
another golden rose.

"Who are you?" Serena asks.

But the figure just disappears. Serena looks as the slimy creature falls out of John's ear
and dies. John returns to normal.

"What happened?" The John asks.

He sees the scouts.

"Who are you?" The John asks.

"We are friends of the exchange students. We will get them now." Mina says.

They rush over to the alley and power down.

"Where were you?" The John asks relieved to see the girls all right.

"We ran off to get help. But we couldn't find any. But it looks like everything is okay."
Serena responds.

"You should never be out here alone. It's too dangerous." The John scolds.

"They are okay. Let's go back inside for some tea." The woman says.

The scouts smile and all enter the house. When they are all gone the 3 humanoids appear.

"This isn't enough energy. The creator must have shattered the crystal into many pieces.
We need to find the others before our mission is complete." The woman says.

"Well we have plenty of mind parasites to help us." The first man says.

The second man opens up the bag and shows that it contains thousands of disgusting
slimy creatures.
