Tokyo Mew Mew Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Super Stars: Sailor Mew-Mew ❯ A Fox's Story and Return ( Chapter 3 )

Personally, I'm glad that my first non-Digimon fanfiction has shown good popularity and got a good `mix' of both stories. I'm sorry that this took awhile to get out, but I had to study for finals and get through my finals. However, now, I'm back and planning to continue on with this story. Now, I don't own Sailor Moon or Tokyo Mew-Mew/Mew-Mew Power!

 

Sailor Moon Super Stars: Sailor Mew-Mew

 

Recap: After Serena arrived in Edo district, she began to explore around and began to remember times in Edo district with the Tokyo Mew-Mews when she was a part of their team. However, she is begin watched by more of the evil enemy of the War Rose Knights, but Serena had to worry about her old friends, the Tokyo Mew-Mews, when she heard that a Chimera Predasite is attacking Edo Park and the Mew-Mews were engaged in battle with it. Serena used her `reawakened' Mew-Mew abilities to get to the park, quickly, and as Sailor Moon, joined the battle and helped the Mew-Mews defeat the Chimera Predasite. After a reunion with her `old' team, Serena gets Elliott and Wesley, the `creators' of the Tokyo Mew-Mews, to give her a scan that reveals that indeed her Mew-Mew powers has fully `regenerated' and are at full strength. To try to understand the goals of why the War Rose Knights want to destroy her, Serena, the Mew-Mews, Elliott, and Wesley then head off where Elliott's father had found the very core of Serena's Mew-Mew powers, the Soul of the Kitsune, the powerful jewel given by Lady Inari that's inside of Serena's body. However, they didn't know that the other Sailor Scouts and Darien are following them. When they arrive near the location of where the Soul of the Kitsune was found, Serena and the Mew-Mew head off to find the temple, but beforehand, Elliott gave Serena R2003, a more advanced version of Mini-Mew, also known as Mini-Mew 2 as a way to detect their enemies. When Serena and the Mew-Mews reach the end of the forest, another enemy came to face them, Duke of the War Rose Knights, and challenged Serena to one-on-one combat. Serena transforms to Sailor Moon and Mini-Mew 2 transforms into the powerful Royal Moon Specter, a weapon with a powerful jewel created by Elliott that he `linked' to Sailor Moon's Imperial Moon Crystal. Duke and Sailor Moon go into one-on-one combat and Sailor Moon wins! Serena and the Mew-Mews then enter the temple, the powers of the temple transforming into their Mew-Mew forms, and Lady Inari greets them and tell them the `dark history' behind the War Rose Knights. However, the second in command of the Knights, King, arrives with Darien and the other scouts, and challenges Sailor Moon to another one-on-one duel! Sailor Moon, her friends threatened, had no choice but to accept, however, King proved to be a tough opponent with great intellect and speed and strength nearly matches Sailor Moon's Mew-Mew abilities and used flowers with special pollen to weaken Sailor Moon to try to defeat Sailor Moon, but Sailor Moon barely manages to beat King, but King gives her an injury that knocks her into a state of unconsciousness. Lady Inari then catches Serena, transformed back from Sailor Moon, and with Serena in her arms, leads the Mew-Mews, Sailor Scouts, Darien, Elliott, and Wesley into the forest to learn about the `secret origins' of Serena's destiny. What will all of them learn? Find out. . .!

 

Chapter 3: A Fox's Story and Return

 

(Deep within the forest; A short time after Sailor Moon's duel with King)

 

Within one of the forests of the Japanese countryside, we find a group of `people' going through the forest. In the lead is Lady Inari, the all-mother of the Kitsune, the mythical and legendary fox-spirits of Japan, with the our Moon Princess, Serena AKA Sailor Moon, in her arms, while Darien, her new team, the Sailor Scouts, and her `old' team, the Tokyo Mew-Mews, still in their transformed states, with their `creators' Elliott and Wesley follow her to wherever she is leading them.

 

Lita then says to Mina, “Mina, I'm not sure about this `Lady Inari', whoever or whatever she is.”

 

Mew Zoey then tells Lita, “Don't worry about Lady Inari, it is kind of hard to explain, but Serena and Lady Inari is good friends.”

 

When Mina and Lita look at Mew Zoey, they are a bit `surprised' by her appearance and Mina asks, curiously, “How do you know? And by the way, who or what are you?”

 

Mew Bridget then replies, “Oh, we were there when Lady Inari and Serena met two years ago. By the way, I'm one of Serena's `old' friend, the name is Bridget and I'm pleased to meet you. Serena has told us all about you, her new friends.”

 

Mew Zoey then adds, “As to what we are, it is a long story.”

 

Mew Corina then adds, in her usual tone, “With that fact that Serena is one of our kind, too.”

 

Rei then exclaims, shocked like the other scouts and Darien, “Serena is what?!”

 

Lady Inari tells Rei, “Do not worry, Princess of Mars, you will learn the truth soon enough.”

 

Michelle then whispers to Amara's ear, “What do you feel about this Lady Inari?”

 

Amara whispers back, “If Lady Inari wanted to harm us in anyway, she would have attempted to do so, already. Plus, I feel no hostile intent from her, but a `feeling' that she wants to really help us and our cause, in this case, anyway.”

 

Ami then asks the Tokyo Mew-Mews, “How do you know about Serena?”

 

Mew Zoey replies, “Serena and I are still best friends and we have been for six years, now! You see, she lived in my area of Edo district for four years and moved away two years ago, but still keeps in contact with me and the rest of our team, the Tokyo Mew-Mews.”

 

Before anyone else could say anything, Lady Inari then says, “We have arrived everyone.” When everyone looks ahead of them, they are amazed to see that they are in a town, very similar to ones that are in the Japanese mountainous countryside, are in front of them. What amazed them more are foxes coming into the town and transforming into people!

 

Mew Kiki exclaims, in her usual excited tone, “Wow! Cool! What is this place?!”

 

Lady Inari then says, “This is one of my children's villages. They live in a very similar manner that humans do, but they don't use coal, wood, or anything else from the mother earth. We are using a water-wheel on a raging river to generate the electricity needed to supply power to our homes, expect we don't anything that would harm our mother earth. Now, please follow me, we are needing to get Princess Serena some rest and heal her wounds.” Lady Inari then them through the Kitsune village, who's inhabitants are looking at them with wide eyes of amazement. When they get to some kind of royal alter, Lady Inari lays Serena on top of the alter and one female Kitsune comes up to them.

 

The Kitsune gives a bow, transforms into a emerald green mid-waist long hair and sky-blue eyes human form, and says, “Lady Inari, we welcome you to our village.”

 

Lady Inari nods her head and tells the Kitsune, “My dear, the young daughter of the moon has become injured and needs aid.”

 

The Kitsune looks at Serena's neck injury and felt her lower waist and says, “It is a nasty cut and one great bruise on her lower waist, possible one broken rib, but it is nothing that we can heal. We have sensed your arrival and have brought our finest herbs and potions for any and all those who are injured.” Just then another Kitsune in human form comes with a bag full of supplies. The human form Kitsune sets the bag down by the one near Serena's unconscious form. The medic Kitsune opens the bag, gets one jar out, opens the jar, then takes a strange cream from the jar, puts the `cream' on Serena's injured neck, and Serena's cut healed nearly instantly! Next, she takes another jar with cup, pours a strange juice into the cup, gently lifts Serena's head up, and pours the liquid down Serena's mouth and throat, wiping any liquids that `leak' out of Serena's mouth. She puts all of her medicines and supplies back into the bag and tells Lady Inari, “The potion will take some time to fully heal Princess Serena's wounds and restore her strength. So, she needs to rest and sleep for a while.”

 

Lady Inari tells the `Kitsune medic', “Thank you.” The `Kitsune medic' bows her head and then takes her leave of all of them. Lady Inari then waves her hand over Serena's sleeping form and her clothes transform into her clothes as Princess Serena of the Moon Kingdom, including her crescent moon symbol on her forehead.

 

When Lady Inari looks at Darien, Elliott, Wesley, the Tokyo Mew-Mew team, and the other Sailor Scouts, Rei then asks, “I'm going to ask: Who or what are you anyway? And how do you know Serena, anyway?”

 

Lady Inari replies, “As the Princess of Mercury stated earlier, I'm Lady Inari, the all-mother of my children, the Kitsune. We, the Kitsune, are neither good or evil, but we help maintain the balance of good and evil as well as light and darkness because these forces need to be in balance with each other in order for the planet to survive. We have existed since the start of humanity on the planet, but during much of the early times of Japanese civilization, we had kept to ourselves, however, during more modern and `civilized' times, many of my children left and went into the human world, fell in love with humans, and `interbred' with human kind as it were. Which is one of the main reason that we constantly `look out' for humanity, but we've discovered that humanity is a natural part of Earth's evolution, even if they are damaging it, by destroying humanity before time and natural selection, if it does so, or before human evolve to the `next level', the Earth will be gravely damaged in the long run and most likely, would die. However, there are those that don't believe so.”

 

Trista then asks, “Namely, the `metahumans' of the War Rose Knights, correct?”

 

Lady Inari nods her head and says, “That's correct. The War Rose Knights are humans born with something the rest of their species weren't. . . super-natural and super-human powers. With their `gifts', they were rejected by their friends and even their families. They were nearly abandoned at a boarding school until a dark entity found them, brought them under `his care', and taught them, poisoned their minds, that humans are pure evil and they should be destroyed. They became this entities greatest warriors, the War Rose Knights, and they vow to annihilate all those that feel that are `unworthy' of living on this Earth, but if do that, then Earth will most likely be thrown `out of balance' and it will die in the long run, which we cannot allow, however, we cannot directly intervene in human affairs nor we are powerful enough to stop them, which is why we have fused the elemental, super-natural, and spiritual powers of planet Earth into one jewel known as the `Soul of the Kitsune'.”

 

Wesley then states, “Which my friend and partner with me had found.” When everyone looks at Wesley, he says, “My name is Wesley J. Coolridge and my friend over there is named Elliott Grant, we are kind of `old' friends of Serena, though, between Elliott and Serena, they wouldn't think so.”

 

Ami then asks, curiously, “How do you know about Serena?”

 

Elliott then says, in his usual tone, “Isn't quite obvious? Serena was once part of the Tokyo Mew-Mew team and you can call Wesley and me the `creators' of the Tokyo Mew-Mews.” Darien and the other scouts gasps in shock and amazement at Elliott's `explanation'.

 

Mina then tries to ask, “But how? Why?”

 

Wesley then calms the inner scouts and the others down and tells them, “I will explain everything. All of this starts around five years ago, three years before Elliott and I created the Tokyo Mew-Mew team, we were researching alien that were using Infusers on animals to turn them into terrible monsters known as Predasites. At the time, we didn't who the aliens were or what they wanted, but we knew one thing: They weren't friendly and were threatening our planet as well as our existence. Actually, it was Elliott's father's research that allowed us to develop our `counter-measures' to the aliens. We had found that the only solution lay in the manipulation of human DNA and Red Data animals.”

 

Ami then states, “Those are animals that are endangered and threatened with extinction.”

 

Wesley tells Ami, “That's correct, Ami. Based on ours and Elliott's father's research, we found that by fusing the DNA of Red Data animals with certain humans we could create the `power' that's necessary to defeat those aliens. However, those certain humans were people or, in this case, girls with a certain and very rare genetic code that allows their DNA to be fused with the DNA with a certain Red Data animal. But after a great amount of searching, we had found the people we were looking for including Serena's best friend at the time, Zoey Handson. We fused DNA with the DNA of the Red Data animal, Iriomote mountain wildcat, and she became the first member of our team, the Tokyo Mew-Mews, though we didn't have the name at that time. You see, Zoey created that name after she had found four other members of the team, Corina Bucksworth, a rich heiress, she has the DNA of Blue Lorikeet inside of her, Bridget Verdant, a shy bookworm trying to make friends, ending up with the DNA of the Finless Black Porpoise and four understanding friends by her side, Kiki Benjamin, a energetic street performer with the DNA of the Golden Lion Tamarin, a type of primate, fused within her, and Renee Roberts, one of the most famous fashion model in the world, bilingual, talented, and beautiful, she has the DNA of the Grey Wolf inside of her.”

 

Rei then asks, “Okay, how is Serena connected to your Tokyo Mew-Mews?”

 

Elliott then explains with, in his usual tone, “Around the time that Zoey was looking for the other Mew-Mews, we found out from my father's research about the `Soul of the Kitsune'. We brought the powerful jewel back to the Café Mew-Mew, our base of operations disguised as café for `hanging out' girls, and studied it. We've found that we could create a sixth Mew-Mew, one with great amounts of power, to fight against our enemies, namely the aliens who are named the Cyniclons. However, we need to use the appropriate DNA, which is Red Data or endangered types of foxes. We had found that the Vulpes Velox, the Swift Fox of Canada, worked to our purpose. However, we need the right type of person who can be properly fused with the DNA and the jewel to be found, but she came to us. After the team had found Renee and convinced her to join the team, one of Zoey's friends came to visit her at the café. That friend proved to be a 12 year old Serena Tsukino.” All of the scouts and Darien were in stunned silent at Elliott's explanation. Elliott then continues with, “The instant that Serena came into the café, the Soul of the Kitsune started to react widely and I figured that the jewel `senses' the presence of the one who came to possess it. So, I told Wesley that if Serena came into the back to let her go as she pleased and my theory proved right when Serena went straight to the jewel. The instant she arrived where the jewel was `stored', the genetic stimulator activated by itself, somehow the Soul of the Kitsune or Lady Inari was reasonable for that, fused Serena's DNA and the Soul of the Kitsune into her body. That was the day that we gained our sixth member, Mew Serena of the Tokyo Mew-Mews, was `born' so to speak.”

 

Lita then exclaims, “Hold up! Serena is part-fox?! No way!”

 

Elliott then goes over to Serena's sleeping form, looks at her neck, then points to Serena's neck, and says, in his usual `cool' tone, “If you don't believe me, then look at this.” When the other scouts and Darien looked at where Elliott's point, they gasped to see a Mew-Mew mark that looks like two pink fox-tails crossed together in a heart form with the crescent moon symbol and yin-yang symbol in the center on the left side of Serena's neck.

 

Mina calls out, shocked, “Whoa! Where did that come from?! I never seen that on Serena's neck before!”

 

Wesley then explains, “That's Serena's Mew-Mew mark, the genetic infusion of the DNA leaves a strange mark, based on the animal the Mew-Mew is infused with, somewhere on the person's body. The other Mew-Mews have the same markings on their bodies as well. Zoey's mark is on her upper right leg, Corina's mark is on her back, Bridget's mark is on her upper chest, Kiki's mark is on her forehead, and Renee's mark is around her navel, but I wouldn't suggesting to taking a look.”

 

Ami then asks, curiously, “Okay, how did you know that Serena is Sailor Moon?”

 

Wesley then states, “On the day that Serena became our sixth Mew-Mew, Lady Inari appeared before us, told us and Serena about her `great destiny', and gave us a `sneak preview' of her future, which is what she looked like as Sailor Moon.”

 

Elliott then says, “After the final battle with the aliens, Serena left for her original home of Kanto district and two years later, we saw the first television reports of Sailor Moon, a girl with blond hair in two meatball pig tails wearing the same uniform we saw Serena in two years ago and you know it wasn't too hard to figure out from there.”

 

Mew Bridget then says, “Based on what saw on television, however, Serena wasn't fighting like the way that she use to and she was our strongest fighter.”

 

The scouts and Darien were awe-struck by that information and Rei exclaims, shocked beyond belief, “Hold up! Serena was the strongest fighter among you, Mew-Mews?!”

 

Mew Zoey nods her head and says, “Yeah, she was. Plus, she was acting a lot weaker than she use to. When we asked her about it when she came back for a visit, Serena told us that she was acting like a weakling crybaby to hide her true self.”

 

This hit Darien and scouts like a lightning bolt and Lita exclaims, in disbelief, “Serena was only acting like the way we knew her?!”

 

Mew Corina nods her head and states, “No kidding. You know, I could never understand Serena and her way of thinking. Sometimes I think that she is nuttier than a fruit cake.” Serena's ears then twitched and she stirred, but unnoticed to the others.

 

Rei then states, “Okay, if Serena isn't the way that she knew her, then why she put up that whole crybaby act of hers?!”

 

Mew Bridget then explains, “It probably has to do with one incident one day sometime after she gained her Mew-Mew powers. You see, Serena has fox-agility to match Zoey's feline agility, but she also had super-acute hearing, super-speed, and super-strength, but that's a mixture of her fox DNA and the Soul of the Kitsune. When Serena came to Edo, based on what Zoey told me, she didn't have any friends and she was picked on a lot. When she started to stand up for herself and fight back, somehow, she made herself more isolated until she met Zoey and her friends, who became understanding friends to her. But one day, a bully picked on a new friend that Serena had made, Serena tried to make the bully stop by talking, but it didn't work and the bully did something real bad to Serena's friend. Out of pure anger, Serena attacked the bully with her Mew-Mew super-strength, causing him to be thrown into a light pole and greatly injuring him. Serena was totally horrified at what she had done with her anger. You see, Serena stands up for herself and others, but she's doesn't want to ever cause harm to anyone. The bully had to go to hospital from Serena's attack and what she had done in anger had greatly disturbed her and made her greatly ashamed of herself.”

 

Mew Zoey then looks at Elliott and yells out, “And it didn't help that Elliott yelled and scolded Serena for that `incident'!”

 

Elliott then yells back, a bit indignity, “Hey, I said I'm sorry and all I was doing was trying to protect Serena! What happened if others found out about her powers?! She could have sent to scientific laboratory for experimenting and plus, these powers are for protecting the planet and should be used to protect the planet!”

 

Wesley then tells Mew Zoey and Elliott, “Hey, what's done is done and we can't change what has already happened. Elliott was trying to help Serena, but Zoey, you are right to saying that Elliott was a bit harsh in trying to protect Serena.” Wesley then looks at Serena and says, solemnly, “However, the damage was already done, but Serena didn't change at all since we still had to fight Dren and Cyniclons. After the final battle, however, when she returned, Serena must have been greatly disturbed about what happened and that's why she created this `act' to hide her true personality, to prevent her anger and rage from hurting everyone else. You see, Serena's true personality `makes it' that she can angered more easier and lash out, since she has been bulled a lot as a young child.”

 

The inner scouts lowered their heads in shame and Mina says, lowly, “Wow. I never knew that Serena's childhood was like that at all. Why didn't she tell us the truth?”

 

Mew Zoey tells everyone, “She didn't want you to get all concerned with her and her problems. That's always Serena has been, not wanting to worry others with her own problems and always worrying about others.”

 

Rei then says, “Whoa. I thought that I knew all about this meatball head, but now, I didn't know a damn about Serena at all.”

 

Amara then states, in her calm tone, “So, there is more to Serena than meets the eye.”

 

Mew Bridget nods her head and says, “Yeah, Serena is a lot more smarter and mature than she let you on. Serena was also good at acting, she actually got an A plus in acting classes. Serena put on that `act' of hers to suppress and control the anger and rage inside of her, to make sure that she never hurt everyone like that again.”

 

Darien then asks, “However, I don't get why we didn't see Serena's powers before yesterday?”

 

Wesley then tells Darien, “Serena told us about you, you are Darien, Serena's boyfriend. Well, Darien, Serena's powers were temporary out of commission after the last battle with the Cyniclons. During the final battle, the leader of the Cyniclons, Deep Blue, was found to be a part of Zoey's boyfriend, Mark. Deep Blue was driven out of Mark, but Zoey sacrificed nearly all of her life-force and powers to revive Mark and Serena used her own powers to save Zoey and her powers. However, in the process, Serena made the powers of all other five Tokyo Mew-Mews permanent. You see, Serena's powers were different from the other Mew-Mews because of the Soul of the Kitsune, which gave Serena the powers over the elements, the spiritual, and the super-natural, however, she didn't even come close to tapping the full potential of those powers, but enough to make her the most powerful of the Tokyo Mew-Mews. However, after the last battle, Serena totally sacrificed her powers for the live of Zoey and the other Mew-Mews powers, by accident of course, but we had found that Serena's Mew-Mew powers were only gone temporary and would restore themselves in three years time.”

 

Elliott then adds with, “However, the Soul of the Kitsune and Serena's Imperial Silver Crystal, the source of her powers as Sailor Moon, actually, `regenerated' Serena's powers one year ahead of schedule and now, her Mew-Mew powers are back to full strength.” Darien and scouts didn't want to ask about how he knew about Serena's Imperial Silver Crystal since they had plenty of ideas and most of them weren't focused on Serena.

 

Michelle then asks, “What about the new weapon that Sailor Moon used? Did you create it for her?”

 

Wesley then tells everyone, “Sometime ago, Elliott and I had found a mysterious star-shaped jewel in the middle of a thriving forest after a meteor crashed into it. After that meteor crashed into the forest, life began to spring up and come in nearly instantly. We had found that this jewel, infused with the power of light and life in universe, was the caused, so, we created R2003, Mini-Mew 2, with the ability to transform into a powerful weapon with the jewel as the power source. The problem is that we need the star's power to be connected with another powerful source from the stars.”

 

Ami then states, realizing the obvious, “So, you `connected' the jewel's power to the power of Serena's Imperial Silver Crystal.”

 

Elliott nods his head and says, “That's right, since it was the only source of light from the stars that we could think of. It worked like a charm and Sailor Moon gained a powerful new weapon, the Royal Moon Scepter. However, Serena wasn't able to tap into the full power of the star jewel and the power of the Royal Moon Scepter.” Elliott then shrugs his shoulders and says, in his usual tone, “But she did pretty good with it. . . for a first time. Personally, I'm surprised that a complex meatball head like her use it without screwing up the first time.” Just then. . . BAM! Elliott was hit in the face by a force that forces him to land on the ground with his bottom, hard, and he gains a left black eye. Everyone is shocked to see who had just hit Elliott. Serena, fully awake, is standing up with a pissed off look to her face and is looking at Elliott with her right hand in a fist, showing that she was the one who had hit Elliott.

 

Serena brawls at Elliott, angrily, “Meatball head, Elliott?! Elliott, you rotten overbearing rich jerk, after all I've done for this planet as a Mew-Mew and Sailor Scout, you have the damn nerve to call me a meatball head! Why I should teach you a thing or two right here like you deserve, you ass!”

 

Elliott gets to his feet, with Wesley's help, and says, calmly, “Well, I'm glad to see you are awake, Serena.”

 

Wesley then says, in his usual tone, “Yeah, I can also see that your right cross hasn't changed. It is quite as powerful as ever.”

 

Elliott tells Wesley, “You get punched in the face by her and then you will know how powerful it is, Wesley.”

 

Serena then looks over herself, sees herself in her Moon Princess outfit, and asks, “Okay, how did I get into my Moon Princess dress?”

 

Lady Inari tells Serena, “I would be responsible for that, daughter of the moon. But I have to ask: Is that the way for a princess to act?” Serena blushes in embarrassment by Lady Inari's `question'.

 

Rei then calls out, “Yeah, no kidding! Serena's behavior is no where close to that of being a princess!” Serena turns around, becomes really nervous with her friends, future daughter, and boyfriend in front of her, and jumps back slightly in surprise.

 

Serena then says, quite nervous, “Hey, guys. . . I can explain what about me being some kind of. . . ah. . . Well, I. . .”

 

Amara then tells Serena, “Don't worry about explaining Serena, your `old' teammates and your `old' boss told us the truth about being part of the Tokyo Mew-Mew team as well as being part-Swift fox.”

 

Serena then asks, still a bit nervous, “So, all of you know, huh?”

 

Ami then nods her head and says, “Including the part where you being a `crybaby' and all, is an act to make you look weaker to others.”

 

Rei then tells Serena, “So, please Serena, don't try start acting weaker than you really are, again.”

 

Serena takes a deep breath and says, in a calm and more mature version of her voice, “Guys, I can see that they told you everything, including the reason why I acted weaker and dumber than I really am and to be honest, I'm not sure that they told you everything, but they told you enough that you know that `the act' wasn't the `real me'. My life isn't exactly as innocent and good as my crybaby act made it look it to be. Honestly, I've had a harder childhood than most girls and I'm not as innocent as my act made myself look. Look, I can't expect you to forgive me for lying to you, in more ways than one.”

 

Mina then tells Serena, “It's okay, Serena, we do have a good understanding about you, but why didn't you tell us about this?”

 

Serena tells Mina, in a mix of a sarcastic tone and curious tone, “Would you have believed me if I told you that I'm part-Swift Fox and think that I wasn't crazy?” All of the scouts look at each other and shake their heads.

 

Rei then states, “I'm surprised that I'm admitting this, but Serena has a good point. If we had heard about this before what happened yesterday, it would have been far-fetched to us.” All of the other scouts nod their head in agreement with Serena.

 

Darien then asks his girlfriend, wondering, “Serena, but I still don't understand why you acted weaker and dumber than you really were and why you lied even to me?”

 

Serena goes up to Darien and tells him, in a solemn, but loving tone, “Darien, I never meant to hurt you but I created this façade to contain the anger within me. When I was younger, I had, in the nicest terms, an `anger management problem' because other kids picked on me, for my hairstyle or some other reason, they made me angry and bitter and I wanted to strike back, but I always stopped myself at the second because I didn't want to hurt others like they hurt me, however, since I'm about to strike, I always get in trouble. Like I said, I've had a harder childhood than most girls and decided to be a loner, I don't want to hurt people and if I leave them alone, they won't hurt me. But when I met Zoey, her friends, and the Tokyo Mew-Mews, my heart opened up and I became good friends with other people. Just after I met Zoey, I decided to learn to control my anger and open up to others. I did open up to others, but I didn't control my `temper' as good as I thought that I did when that bully hurt my new friend so much that I lost it and struck him down with my Mew-Mew super-strength. However, I didn't mean to use my super-strength and when I hurt him so bad, even he was a bully, I was horrified at what my anger did. Elliott also reminded me that I also abused my power and even though I think he was too harsh on me, he was right about using my power responsibly. After the final battle with Deep Blue and left back for Kanto, I created this `act' to suppresses my anger and rage, so, I would never hurt anyone again with my anger. I don't like to hurt others, but when I `use' my real personality, I can get angry pretty quick. Darien, if I hurt you in any way, I'm. . .”

 

Darien embraces Serena and tells her, lovingly, “Serena, I can understand how you are feeling and based on what I know, now, I understand why you did this, but you have to understand, by doing this, you are aliening yourself from people who care about you. I love you, very much, and I hope to truly understand you, Serena. Please show who you really to us for, now, on and if you want to talk about anything, please tell me.” Serena couldn't help by gain tears in her eyes and kiss her boyfriend right on the lips.

 

Mew Zoey, Mew Bridget, Mew Kiki, and Mew Corina couldn't help, but be touched, and Mew Zoey states, “That's so beautiful.”

 

Mew Bridget then says, also touched, “Serena and Darien are truly in love with each other. It's so romantic.”

 

Just then a female voice calls out, “If I wasn't going to destroy it, then I would agree.” Everyone then turns to the source of the voice to see a young woman of 13 or 14 with dark brown hair that's in female mop-top design, dark brown soulless eyes, dark yellow formal dress that goes to the tops of her kneecaps, black socks, and dark violet formal high-heeled shoes.

 

Mew Renee then asks, in her `cool' tone, “And who might you be?”

 

The teenage girl says, in dark intelligential voice, “The name is Juliet, mistress of shadows, illusions, and mind `alteration', I'm the fourth member of the Royal Council of the War Rose Knights, named up of Happy Child, Duke, King, myself, and one final member, who I will not name at this time.” Just then a portal of darkness appears on the ground and she summons a long scythe from the darkness. When Juliet takes the scythe into her hands, she declares, “And I'm here to kill your precious Moon Princess Mew-Mew!” Juliet then swings her scythe towards them, sending a beam of pure dark energy towards Darien and Serena.

 

Rei then calls out, “Serena! Darien! Watch out!”

 

Serena then pushes Darien out of the way and tells Darien, “Darien, please get out of the way!” Serena then takes out her Mew-Mew Power Pendant and it begins to glow before Juliet's attack strikes Serena!

 

Everyone, Sailor Scout, Mew-Mew, or otherwise, call out in horror, “Serena!”

 

Juliet then states, in her dark tone, “I don't know why Duke and King were so interest in that little fox, she didn't seem so strong to me.”

 

Just then Serena's voice calls out from the smoke, “Don't be so sure about that!” When the smoke starts to clear, a figure is seen in the smoke and when the smoke fully clears, the `figures' turns out to be Serena, in her form as Mew Serena, with a strange baton with two hearts like on Sailor Moon's `old' Spiral Heart Staff, one on the top and the other at the bottom, and the staff on the baton had a heart in the center with Serena's Mew-Mew symbol in the center of the heart.

 

Mew Corina exclaims, “All right, Serena transformed into her Mew-Mew form and used her Amazon Battle Baton to shield herself from the attack!”

 

Juliet then says, in a dark calm tone, “Lucky break.”

 

Mew Zoey then calls out, “Hey, girls, why don't us, Mew-Mews and Sailor Scouts, join this battle?!”

 

Lita exclaims in agreement with Mew Zoey, “Yeah, let's do this!”

 

Mew Serena then calls out, in a commanding voice, “No! Everyone, just stay back! This is between Juliet and me!” Everyone is shocked by Mew Serena's declaration.

 

Mina then tells Mew Serena, “Serena, what are you thinking?! You can't go and battle her by herself! You don't know how powerful she is!”

 

Mew Serena responds, “Juliet attack Darien, the person that I love the most, because she wanted to destroyed me and I will not forgive that! Besides, I took down Duke and King and I had no idea of their abilities. I'm sorry, Mew-Mews, Sailor Scouts, but this is personal.”

 

Rei then tries to tell Mew Serena, “But Serena . . .!”

 

Mew Corina then interrupts by telling Serena's boyfriend and friends, “Don't even try to talk to her when a battle becomes personal! Serena won't listen to anybody until she goes into this fight and wins!”

 

Mew Bridget nods her head and says, in her usual tone, “Yes, Serena doesn't like when someone attacks her friends or people she cares about. Normally, Serena doesn't want to battle, but when something like what happened now happens, Serena won't stop until she `punishes' the enemy that did the `act', if you get my meaning, and she won't let us into the fight to help.”

 

Mew Zoey then says, adding her `two cents', “Yeah, Serena is kind of like the Kitsune, a good friend, but very independent at times.”

 

Darien then tells Mew Serena, “Serena, just be careful.”

 

Mew Serena looks at Darien and says, “I will. Don't worry, I'll win.” Mew Serena then `winks' with her right eye at Darien and then moves forward ten steps to face Juliet.

 

Juliet then says, in a somewhat teasing tone, “So, the little fox decides to do things herself? You might regret that.”

 

Mew Serena then gives a wide grin and says, in a calm tone not seen in Serena before, “Prove it.”

 

Juliet then calls out, a bit annoyed, “Okay, you asked for it!” Juliet then rushes forward and swings her scythe at Mew Serena, but before it can hit, Mew Serena somehow vanishes into thin air. Juliet then calls out, somewhat perplexed, “Hey, where did you go?!”

 

Mew Serena's voice calls out, “Right here, Juliet!” Juliet then looks at the end of her scythe to see Mew Serena standing on the end of the blade of her scythe.

 

Juliet then calls out, annoyed, “Hey, get off my scythe!” Juliet then tries to lift her scythe, but Mew Serena is somehow making her unable to lift her scythe up. Juliet then uses all of her strength to try to pull back her scythe in any which way, but somehow Mew Serena is making Juliet unable to move her scythe at all.

 

Mew Serena then says, in a taunting tone, “Having trouble? Maybe you should work out more.”

 

Juliet then exclaims, enraged, “Get off my scythe right now!”

 

As Mew Serena looks to see Juliet really straining to lift her scythe, Mew Serena asks, her tone showing some sarcasm, “Are you sure about that?”

 

Juliet then roars out, angrily, “Yes, now, get off!” Mew Serena then lightly jumps off Juliet's scythe, causing Juliet to be thrown off balance and the left side of the `head' of Juliet's scythe to slam into Juliet's face, causing her to fall to the ground, hard! Juliet is stunned, but not knocked out, and she gets to her feet with a slight blood nose.

 

Mew Serena tells Juliet, with some sarcasm, “Ouch. Bet that had to hurt.”

 

Juliet then yells out, pissed off, “You rotten fox! How dare you hurt me?!”

 

Mew Serena yells at Juliet, in a serious tone, “How dare I hurt you?! You've got some nerve, Juliet! You attacked me and Darien and you have the nerve to tell me that?! Why don't you go back to the circus that you belonged to?! You seem to be prefect for the `side show'!”

 

Juliet then transforms her scythe into a sword and declares, “I'm going to tear you apart for that!”

 

Mew Serena then tells Juliet, “I don't think so! Amazon Battle Baton, Saber Mode!” Mew Serena then throws her baton into the air and then it transforms into a saber with a hollow heart-shaped hilt, with a jewel in the center of the hilt with Mew Serena's Mew-Mew symbol on it, and a silver blade.

 

Juliet then calls out, “Time to die, little moon fox!” Juliet then moves towards Mew Serena and swings her sword at her, but Mew Serena counters with her sword and Juliet uses all of her strength against Mew Serena. Juliet tells Mew Serena, “Feeling a bit strained my dear?”

 

Mew Serena smiles and tells Juliet, in a sarcastic tone, “Actually, I'm barely using my strength at all.”

 

Juliet exclaims, in disbelief, “What?!” Juliet then looks to see Mew Serena isn't even straining, much less sweating, and then Mew Serena hits Juliet in the chest with her right palm, sending Juliet back four yards!

 

Mew Serena tells Juliet, with a wide smile on her face, “Your strength and speed are nothing compared to Duke's and King's! If this were a battle of strength, I could crush you without even one half trying!”

 

Juliet then calls out, angrily, “How about we try speed then?!” Juliet then rushes in to attack Mew Serena with a super-fast and furious assault of sword slashes and thrusts, but even Juliet is super-fast, Mew Serena is even faster and she uses her superior speed and agility to avoid all of Juliet's attacks. After a few minutes, Mew Serena then has her back to a large tree and Juliet is facing her. Juliet then says, tauntingly, “It looks like that your back is the `wall' as they say and you are trapped. Any last words?” On the meanwhile, every one of the Kitsune villagers gets out of the way of the front of the tree.

 

Mew Serena tells Juliet then says, “There is one word I want to say, but I can't seem to remember it.”

 

Juliet then puts her sword in her right hand behind her right shoulder and exclaims, “Your loss, Serena!” Juliet then prepares to slice Mew Serena in half as she rushes at Mew Serena.

 

Darien and all of Mew Serena's friends calls out, “Serena!”

 

Lita then calls out to Mew Serena, “Serena, get out of the way!” The instant that Juliet swings his sword, Mew Serena jumps out of the way and slices through the trunk of the tree.

 

Mew Serena, out of the way of the tree, then says, with some sarcasm, “Actually, I remember what my word is: Timber!” Just then the tree starts falling towards Juliet and she growls in anger as vortex of shadows forms on the ground as the tree falls down on her.

 

Mina then says, plainly, “Ouch. That's going to leave a mark.”

 

Mew Serena then jumps on the fallen trunk of the tree and calls out, “Okay, Juliet, I know that it takes more than that to take any one of you, War Rose Knights, than that!”

 

Juliet's voice then yells out, “No kidding, foxy!” When everyone looks to the source of Juliet's voice, she comes out of vortex of darkness and shadows, saying, “I'm the mistress of shadows. I can use any type of shadows to go into the `Shadow World' and come out through any other shadow. So, I use the tree's shadow to escape the falling tree and use this home's shadow to come back.” Juliet then asks, sarcastically and with a wide grin, “Want to come into my world?”

 

Mew Serena tells Juliet, plainly, “I think that I will pass.”

 

But a pitch black portal of blackness forms around Mew Serena and Juliet as our villainess tells Mew Serena, “You don't have a choice in the matter, fox brat!” Mew Serena and Juliet are then `absorbed' into the portal of darkness.

 

Ami then calls out, in shock, “Serena!”

 

Amara then states, in a serious tone, “She dragged Serena into her territory!” Meanwhile, inside of the `dark territory', we find Mew Serena walking around in pitch darkness with only enough light to allow Mew Serena to look over her physical form.

 

Mew Serena then asks, a calm tone of voice, “Okay, where are you?!” Just then a huge ghost sailor with a knife through his stomach appears with an evil cackle, causing Mew Serena to scream out in shock and fear.

 

Juliet's voice then yells out, tauntingly, “What's the matter, my little moon fox princess?! Scared of a few ghosts?!”

 

Mew Serena roars out, in anger, “No! You just surprised me that's all!”

 

Juliet then calls out through the darkness, “You are a poor liar, you know that, Mew Serena?!” Just then another gory image of the musician Beethoven passes by Mew Serena, causing her to scream out in horror.

 

Mew Serena then yells out, “Fine! I might be scared of ghosts, but let's see how you fare while you are in the dark!” Mew Serena then fades into the darkness itself and supposedly vanishes!

 

After two minutes, Juliet then appears out of the darkness, looks around to find Mew Serena, and when she doesn't, Juliet exclaims, in annoyance, “Okay, where are you, bitch?!”

 

Mew Serena's voice calls out, in a spooky voice, “Where do you think, little girl?!” When Juliet turns around, a giant spooky person is then before her that makes Juliet give out a huge scream of pure terror and jumps out of the darkness. Back in the `Real World', everyone is shocked to see Juliet jump out of the portal of darkness with a white coloring in her face and her breathing rapidly and heavily, like she had seen a ghost.

 

Michelle then says, in a calm tone, “It looks like she had seen a ghost.” Just then the terrifying figure with Mew Serena comes out of the portal of darkness before it disappears from Mew Serena's feet.

 

Rini then asks, somewhat fearfully, “What is that?!”

 

Ami takes a closer look at the figure and asks, shocked, “Is that. . . Serena's teacher?” Indeed, it was Mew Serena's teacher in her final year of junior high school in the Kanto region (A/N: refer to the first episodes of Sailor Moon to learn about her.) just made a lot scarier and gorier for a haunted house.

 

Mew Serena smiles, nods her head, and says, “That's right, Ami! To me, my teacher is a lot scarier than any ghost! You would say so if take one of her pop quizzes!” Mew Serena then snaps her fingers and the spooky version of Mew Serena's teacher `vanishes' in a puff of smoke.

 

Juliet then regains her composer and yells at Mew Serena, enraged, “Why you rotten little rat?! How dare you trick me?!”

 

Mew Serena then tells Juliet, in a bit of a sarcastic voice, “Hey, I'm not a rat, I'm a fox and you know it!”

 

Juliet then calls out, angrily, “You're going to be a cooked fox when I'm done with you!”

 

Mew Serena then tells Juliet, “We'll see who is going to be cooked!” Just then all five of Serena's fox-tails then go into a formation of a semi-circle and all of the bells on Mew Serena's tails begin to `chime' and glow as Mew Serena put her hands, together. Just then five symbols appear in five places in circle surround Juliet and then Mew Serena calls out, “Fox Inferno Towers!” Just then five flames towers shoot up from the ground and encircle as well as entrap Juliet. Mew Serena then calls out to Juliet, in a serious tone, “Now, let's see how you like being in the fire!” Mew Serena then claps her hands and all five flame towers then slam into Juliet causing a huge explosion to engulf her.

 

Mew Corina then calls out, happily, “Yeah, she got her! She's still got her `old' skills!” But then a `tentacles' of pure darkness come out of the ground and entrap Mew Serena in their grip!

 

“Serena!” everyone calls out, in surprise and shock.

 

But then Juliet's voice then calls out, “Don't even think about it!” Juliet then appears from the vortex of shadows in the air and points the tip of her sword at Mew Serena neck, saying, “Any of you make a move and your precious foxy moon princess gets a `new haircut' from the neck . . . up!” Juliet then looks at Mew Serena and tells her, annoyed, “Well, you are the first people to piss me off in a long time! Now, do you have any final words?”

 

Mew Serena smiles and says, “Yes, I have four words exactly: Super Moon Crises Power!” Mew Serena's sailor transformation brooch then opens up, revealing her Imperial Silver Crystal, and engulfing Mew Serena in a powerful light that throws Juliet away from her. When the light disappears, Sailor Moon has replaced Mew Serena and Sailor Moon jumps into the air, using her fox agility to get twenty yards away from Juliet and summoning her Moon Kaleid Scope on the meanwhile.

 

But when Sailor Moon points her Moon Kaleid Scope at Juliet, she yells out, “I don't think so, Moon brat!” Juliet then creates five energy rings that slam into Sailor Moon's neck, lower arms, and legs, binding her to the other large tree in the modern day Kitsune village. Juliet then gathers darkness and shadow energy into her hands and forms it into a ball, declaring, “Time to finish off this battle!”

 

Sailor Moon then thinks, “Damn, she has got me! What am I going to do get out of this one?!”

 

Lady Inari then calls to Sailor Moon, telepathically, “Princess Serena, you must combine the powers of the inner scouts with your own! Concentrate real hard, focus the light in your heart, and summon all of your strength!” When Sailor Moon looks at Lady Inari, she nods her head in agreement, showing that she did contact her, telepathically. Sailor Moon then closes her eyes and begins to concentrate on the light inside.

 

On the meanwhile, the Tokyo Mew-Mews and other Sailor Scouts watch in horror as Sailor Moon is about to be attacked and killed, Rei then calls out, “I don't care what Sailor Moon said! I'm going in to help her!” As the scouts prepared to transform, Rei, Ami, Lita, and Mina began to mysteriously glow and they transformed into Super Sailor Mars, Super Sailor Mercury, Super Sailor Jupiter, and Super Sailor Venus without calling out their `commands'.

 

Super Sailor Mercury then states, shocked, “We transformed, but how?!” Just then the jewels on their tiara began to glow and send off four different colored energies to Sailor Moon's Moon Kaleid Scope, which is floating in front of her and is glowing.

 

Juliet then calls out, “I don't think so!” Juliet then fires the orb of dark energy which slams into Sailor Moon's position causing a huge explosion around her.

 

“Sailor Moon!” Darien and all the scouts call out in horror! Elliott, Wesley, and the Tokyo Mew-Mews looked on with stunned silence.

 

Juliet then states, excitedly, “Yes, I killed the famous Sailor Moon of the Scouts and Mew Serena of the Tokyo Mew-Mews!”

 

Sailor Moon's voice calls out, “Don't count it!” When everyone looks to the source of Sailor Moon's voice, they find her on the roof of a village house without one scratch on her!

 

Juliet exclaims, in total disbelief, “No way! How did you escape?!”

 

Sailor Moon jumps off the roof and tells Juliet, “Thanks to my friends, the power that I created with their help allowed me to escape the bonds and use my fox teleportation ability in time! Now, let me show you my newest `toy'.” Sailor Moon then shows a saber that had a golden version of the hilt of the Moon Kaleid Scope, but it has sparkling silver blade with two golden angel wings engraved into the part that separated the hilt from the blade. Sailor Moon then calls out, “Moon Pure Starlight Mediation!” Sailor Moon then spins around three times, as the blade of her new saber begins to glow with a golden light, and then she slams into blade of the sword into the ground, sending a powerful beam of gold and silver light mixed with rainbow stars at Juliet, who scream when the attack hits her and causes a huge column of energy to go skywards. When the explosion is over and the smoke clears, there is a dome of dark energy surrounding Juliet, but when the dome of dark energy fades, Juliet falls to the ground and lands on her back, totally exhausted.

 

One second later, King's voice yells out, “Well done, Ms. Moon, once again, you don't disappoint!” When everyone looks to the source of King's voice, they find our young villain resting by a house and clapping his hands, softly, in applauses to Sailor Moon.

 

Sailor Moon then calls out, in a strong tone, “What are you doing here?” Just then Duke appears and takes Juliet into his arms.

 

Duke tells Sailor Moon, in a dark tone, “Excellent job, my dear. We're somewhat annoyed that you've beaten up our dear Juliet so badly, but it is her own fault since she underestimated you and your power.”

 

Sailor Moon then asks, in a calm voice and serious tone, “What do you want with me? Does this have something to do with the jewel, the Soul of the Kitsune', inside of me?”

 

King nods his head and says, “Good deduction, Ms. Moon. You are indeed much smarter than you tried to act. The answer to your question is that we desire to wipe all of humanity other than those we feel are `worthy' and in order to complete our plans, we need five human girls who have the power of the animal kingdom within them based on the ancient prophecy that we know.”

 

Ami then asks, “Five human girls with the power of the animal kingdom in them?”

 

Elliott gasps and exclaims, “You want the Mew-Mews, don't you?!”

 

Duke gives a wide grin and replies, “Exactly, in order to fulfill the ancient prophecy of the Obliteration, we need the five girls infused with the power of the animal kingdom, specifically those with five endangered animals. The Tokyo Mew-Mews fit the bill, don't they? With them under our control, we can use their combined power to awaken an ancient beast that's beyond compare that will destroy humanity, allowing us to start civilization anew turning it back into the utopian paradise before humanity poisoned our planet. However, there is one way to stop us, it is said that there is one girl, born of moonlight, Princess of the Moon, that came down from the heavens, reborn as a human girl, with a strong, kind, and pure heart, this one girl, this daughter of the moon, will be Lady Inari's `chosen one' infused with the power from the planet with her own power from the stars and when she combines this powers together, she create an ultimate power that will stop our plans.”

 

Amara then states, “You are talking about Sailor Moon, aren't you?”

 

King smiles and says, “Yes, you see, only one person can stop us and that's Sailor Moon. The `Soul of the Kitsune' is actually the power of the planet infused in that one jewel and Lady Inari has infused within her `chosen one'. You see, when Sailor Moon figures out to fuse the Soul of the Kitsune with her Imperial Silver Crystal, she will create the power to stop the `Great Beast'. That's why we need to kill her, but now, I see everything that Sailor Moon truly is and now, my desire to kill has greatly diminished.”

 

Sailor Moon then asks King, “Okay, if you don't want to kill me, then what do you want with me, now?”

 

King gives a wide grin and says, “Simple my dear, I have fully seen how great your power and all of your beauty, inward and outward, and I can't help but be spellbound by such an amazing woman, which is very rare. So, I don't want to kill you, if I don't have to. . . no, what I want is take make you my queen, that's what I truly desire now!” Everyone gasps in shock and horror from King's declaration.

 

Sailor Moon then calls out, annoyed tone, “You must be crazy to think that I will become your queen!”

 

King then tells Sailor Moon, “Your boyfriend isn't powerful enough to help you! Only you are powerful enough to defend yourself! But I've got a question to ask: Do you think you have enough power to defend all that you care about? Your boyfriend, all of your friends, and even your Earth family?”

 

Sailor Moon roars at King, angrily, “You touch any one of them and there is nowhere on the Earth or the galaxy you can hide from me! Your battle is with me only so leave them out of it!”

 

Duke tells Sailor Moon, in a slip-song tone, “With the Tokyo Mew-Mews, we can't do that since we need them and with your boyfriend and fellow scouts, if they interfere then we will have to take action. But we can save them in one of two ways: Surrender to us or the hard way, destroy all of us and defeat our plans! Knowing you, my dear Princess of the Moon, you will take the hard way and defeat all of us, but you will need to get stronger, however, we know all about your Earth family and know that there is person in your family that can get you the strength that you need. However, how will explain going to him without revealing that you are Sailor Moon to your Earth mother, father, and younger brother?”

 

King tells Sailor Moon, “Farewell, my dear. We will meet again.” King and Duke, with Juliet in his arms, are then covered in clouds of darkness and shadows and they vanish from sight. Sailor Moon then walks down to Lady Inari and stands in front of her as she de-transforms back into Mew Serena and then back to her `civilian form' of Serena in her Princess Serena of the Moon Kingdom outfit of course.

 

Serena asks Lady Inari, in a calm tone, “Lady Inari, can you change my appearance back to what it was when I got here?”

 

Lady Inari nods her head and says, “Of course.” With a wave of Lady Inari's hand, Serena's clothes transform from her Moon Kingdom princess outfit to the clothes she had started with this morning.

 

Serena then goes into her purse, takes out a cell phone, dials a phone number on the cell phone, and puts the phone to her ear, calling out, “Hello? Mom? Is dad home with you?” Serena's mother responds and Serena tells her mother over the phone, “Okay, I'm going over to grandfather Tsukino's home to ask him a favor.” When Serena's mother tells Serena something over the phone, Serena tells his mother, “Why? Well, I need to tell something important there, so, will you tell dad to take you, that squirt, and yourself to Grandfather Tsukino's? Don't worry about me, I've got a `friend' to get me over there, okay? Look, mom, this is important and I can't talk it over the phone with you. Please?” Serena's mom's voice then talks with Serena, telling her something, and Serena then says, “Okay, mom, you're the greatest. Bye.” Serena then turns her phone off and puts it back in her bag.

 

Ami then asks Serena, “Serena, what's the matter? What are you going to tell them?”

Serena then takes a deep breather and replies, “I'm going to tell the truth: That I'm Sailor Moon.” All of the scouts and Darien then gasp in disbelief and shock at Serena's declaration.

 

Rei yells at Serena, “Serena, are you crazy?! Do you know exactly what you are saying?!”

 

Serena nods her head and tells Rei, “I know exactly what I'm saying, Rei! King wasn't kidding around when he said that he will threaten my Earth family! If my family is going to be attacked, they have the right to know why they are being attacked! Plus, Grandfather Tsukino is a great martial arts trainer, one of the best in the country, I need to go there to somehow get ready to fight King and the War Rose Crusaders because I'm the only one powerful enough to even have a chance against them! And my parent's aren't stupid as I made myself to look like, you know?! They will suspect that something is going on! So, in any case, I've no choice, do I? I've made my decision and I'm allowed to make my own choice about myself, especially since I'm the leader of the scouts! And this is my decision: I'm telling my Earth family the whole truth about myself and that's final.”

 

Trista tells Serena, “Serena, from what I see, you are correct in your decision to tell your Earth family the truth about yourself and I support you.” Amara and Michelle nod their heads in agreement with Trista.

 

Mina then tells Serena, “Serena, I guess that decision was pretty hard on you and I'm not sure it is the best, but I will support you.”

 

Lita tells Serena, “Same here, I would never back out on a friend.” Ami and Rei nod their heads in agreement with Mina and Lita.

 

Darien comes up to Serena and tells Serena, “Serena, you already know what I will say because I love you, so, no matter what you decide, I will be there to support you.”

 

Serena smiles and tells them, “Thank you, Darien-chan. And all of you, my friends.”

 

Mew Corina then tells Serena, “Why don't we come along? Since they are obviously after you and us, we need to `stick together' and plus, we can help you train, which I'm glad that you are finally starting again.”

 

Serena smiles and tells Mew Corina, “Yeah, so you think that you kick my butt like you did in our past `training sessions', huh? Well, I'm a lot stronger and better since then, even if I'm a little rusty, so, don't get your hopes up, Mew Corina.”

 

Mew Corina shrugs her shoulders and says, “Whatever, Serena, but make sure you don't interrupt my afternoon tea time.”

 

Serena sighs and says, “Some things will never change.”

 

Elliott then tells Serena, in his usual tone, “Should we be going, now?”

 

Serena growls annoyed at Elliott, but turns to Lady Inari, gives a bow, and tells her, “Lady Inari, thank you for all that you have done for me and my friends.”

 

Lady Inari replies, “It is no trouble at all. Remember, you know what you must do and all I can tell you is that you have to have faith in yourself, your friends, and your abilities. It is your heart that gives you true power.”

 

Serena smiles and tells Lady Inari, “I'll remember, promise. Bye.” Soon enough, the Sailor Scouts, the Tokyo Mew-Mews, transforming back to their `human forms', Elliott, Wesley, and Darien then head off for the two cars and the limo, where they will drive to Serena's Earth grandpa's home, where the next stage of this adventure will begin. . .

 

Next time in Chapter 4: A Brand New Moon: While Michelle and Amara are driving, Luna, Atriums, and the other scouts, Darien and Serena are in the limo with Elliott, Wesley, and the Tokyo Mew-Mews, where Darien learns a lot more shocking facts, good and bad, about his beloved's past history in Edo and childhood. When they arrive at the location where Serena's Earth grandfather, from the her father's side of the family, lives, they are greeted by Serena's Earth grandfather, who had already figured out her secrets. . . both of them. . . about being one of the Tokyo Mew-Mews and Sailor Moon, but based on his explanation, it was too hard for someone, expert in many forms of martial arts and training of the mind, to figure out. Soon after, Serena goes into town for some reason or another by herself and when she returns, she has a new look and attitude that blows her boyfriends and her fellow scouts minds! Finally, when Serena's parents arrive, they are shocked by the new look for one thing, but are even more shocked even she transforms to Sailor Moon in front of them! With Serena's mother, let's just say she did the `classic thing' when a mother's reveals that he/she is a super-hero/heroine, okay? Serena/Sailor Moon has got a lot of explaining to do, but it isn't easy, especially when Happy Child return for a rematch against Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts! How will the Tsukino's take learning the truth about their daughter?! What is Happy Child up to with this rematch?! Find out next time on Sailor Mew-Mew!

 

Author's note: This is to warn you beforehand, so, this won't be too shocking. Personally, I like the Sailor Moon anime and the Moon Princess is my favorite character, but in my opinion, they made her `too weak' and didn't make her `grow' during the series, too much, keeping with too much `sugar, spice, and everything nice' part. In my story, Serena is going to retain her kind and caring part, but I'm going to make Serena's `real personality' like that of a tough girl. This note is to warn you beforehand and say I'm sorry if I insulted any other Serena fans. Okay, please read and review, hope that you liked this chapter, and I will see you later!
