READ MORE AT THE BOTTOM FOR BOTH BAD AND GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!! Standard Disclaimer that I don't own Sailor Moon!! ********************************************************************** July 23 ~ 9:00 pm ~ In The Park "...And in the name of the Moon I will punish you!" "Big talk for such a little girl. Pity you don't speak the truth." The monster powered up and sent a vine wipe at Sailor Moon, which she easily dodged. "Is that all you got? I was hoping for a challenge!" "Challenge, I'll give you a challenge." The horrible monster then powered up. Only his attack went low and Sailor Moon anticipated the hard attack, she jumped high and landed ten feet tot he side." 'I'm coming Serena!' Darien thought to her. 'Darien attack from behind.' Serena told him also by thought. "You little Sailor Brat hold still, so I can destroy you easier and more painful." "Got to catch me first." The monster started to move toward Sailor Moon when he was struck in the back by a rose. He whipped around and found Tuxedo Mask. "You, Tux-boy, do you want to die first or should I let you see Sailor Moon die painfully?" "Neither!" Tuxedo Mask hit the monster's arm with his sword. The monster was stunned from the attack and Sailor Moon saw her chance. She pulled out her wand. "Moon-Healing Activation!!" The monster instantly turned back into a young man lying on the ground, "I give him five minutes. Want to stay and watch with me?" "Come up by me." Sailor Moon easily jumped into the tree Tuxedo Mask had gone up into. "You scared me. I woke up and you weren't there beside me, then I felt you transform. Why didn't you wake me?" "You looked so peaceful. Plus, I had to get away for a while. Between you and everyone else I haven't been alone for more than five minutes by myself." "Now that you are fighting again, everyone will slack off, but I never will." Serena kissed him, but pulled away after a sec. "I was also hoping to hear one of your witty speeches. I was highly disappointed." "There have been so many battles to even think up of any!" Darien said sheepishly. Serena looked down. "Told you so, five minutes!" Sure enough the guy got up shacking his head, as if he just had a weird dream. 'Little does he know!' Serena thought. July 24 ~ "So why did you use healing instead of elimination?" Mina asked. "How did you know which on to use?" Andrew said correcting Mina, while giving her a sweet look that only a boyfriend can give while correcting his girlfriend. "These are a few ways. First, is was weaker and the aim was off. Second, the body form was more human than monster. Last but not least, I could feel the persons desperate need to get away from the pure Nega-energy. I also could tell that who ever is running these new attacks has never done human take over before." "It Was Nicholas, I am sure of it." Ash said. Kyle, who was sitting behind her, pulled her closer to his chest in a comforting hug. "When will he show himself?" Lita asked to no one in general. "Well, now that Sailor Moon as shown herself, pretty soon, I'd say." Toby said. "I agree." Prisma said. "It's just the way they do it. Who ever is in charge doesn't show himself until the strongest warrior on the opposing side shows up, and since they believe that is Sailor Moon he waited." "What about your sister, Ash?" Amy asked. "Your sister?" Birdie asked. "Id she still so...Oh what's the word?" "Beautiful, gorgeous, intelligent, or even out standing in all perspectives?" A twenty year old women with very little almost white blonde hair suggested. "Most definitely none of those, personally of course." Ash said. "But then I haven't heard from you in the last year." Ash went up and hugged her sister. "Everyone this is my sister Pearl. Pearl my friends." "Nice to meet you everyone!" Pearl said mocking her sister's introductions. "I thought I would come find you, so we could talk and get something to eat." "You can come and join us. We were just talking about our trip over here from the States, and how we hoped Ash remembered to tell her sister where she was going." Serena covered. "Plus we were just heading over to the park for a group cook-out." "Do we have reservations, Star?" Amy asked wondering exactly what was going on. "Um...Yes, Kyle why don't you go call with Chad and Ryan to verify, and get the food, too." The three guys got up, without asking a question. Kyle winked at Star, to tell her he understood completely. Since there wasn't any food or reservations, heck this little cook-out was just being planned in Star's mind. Why? Who knows, most likely not even Star herself knew. But he did know that he would have to be doing some magic to get this little shing-ding going!! Later ~ At the Park ~ "So how is Nicholas?" Ash asked her sister, while the two of them sat on one of the blankets spread out on the grass in the park. "Fine." Pearl answered. "Why isn't he here with you?" "I wanted to visit Mom, Opal, Diamond and Sapphire, and Nicky had some friends and business to see too. So, I haven't seen him for about two earth months." "Oh!" "They look so happy." Pearl said with a sigh, while looking over at Serena who was sitting in a double swing with her head resting on Darien's shoulder. He had his arms wrapped around her, neither one of them talking, just living and loving being together at that moment. "They are, nothing could ever truly break the love they have for each other." "Are you happy Amethyst?" "For the first time in a thousand years, I am truly enjoying being back in Tokyo. Nothing beats being with the man I love thought! What about you Sis, are you happy with Nicholas?" "Yes! We love each other very much. It's just going to be even harder being away from the family once we are married." "Married? When? Where? You better tell all!" "Nothing is definite yet. We are just talking about it." Pearl said while laughing at her sisters shocked reaction. "Where are Mina and Andrew?" Star asked everyone all of a sudden. "I think they went on a walk." Toby answered Star. "We'll go see if we can find them." Star got off the swing and pulled a questioning Darien up with her. Over in Another Part of the Park ~ "V, we can't hold up much longer!" "I know, this thing is strong." Mina and Andrew were just walking in the park when they heard and saw this Cyclops monster attacking people. So, like any logical supper hero and heroin, they powered up and began to fight. "Need help Venus Knight?" Sailor Moon asked showing up, right at the nick of time. "Watch out Sailor Moon this one is stronger than it appears." Venus Knight warned. A rose came out of no where right before the monster charged at Sailor Moon. The rose hit the Cyclops right in the eye. "Aim for the eye, Sailor Moon!" Tuxedo Mask told her. "Moon-Scepter Elimination!!" The attack hit its target with no problem and the Cyclops was moon dusted right away. "That was exhilarating!" Sailor Moon said. Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Venus and Venus Knight all turned and started to walk away when they heard a voice come from behind them. "Leaving so soon, Sailor Moon?" "And you would be?" She asked. "Knight Nicholas of Xanderium, your most recent enemy." "Far away from home aren't you?" Tuxedo Mask asked the King. "I will travel anywhere to conquer another planet." "We won't let you conquer Earth!" Venus Knight vowed. "We would rather die a thousand deaths rather than seeing you control our planet!" Sailor Venus said out of anguish. "That can easily be arranged!" King Nicholas then disappeared laughing a cruel evil laugh that mocked the four of them. "A thousand, only a thousand Venus?" Sailor Moon asked Sailor Venus. "It's just how the saying went." "But we have already used two of those deaths, remember?" "Unfortunately I do. Let's get back to the picnic, someone's bound to miss us eventually!" (a.n.: Yes, I was reading the Odyssey when I was writing this part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Even latter July 24 ~ At the Sisters' Apartment ~ "You were right Prisma, he came right before we walked away. I wish you four would have stayed. I know it was short notice." The sisters gave her a questioning looks. "Ok a spur of the moment idea, but I still wish you could have stayed." "Did he tell you anything?" Cattsie asked. "What do you know about Xanderium?" They all looked at Birdie. "It was peaceful, sort of in the future. Rubeus tried to convince King Nicholas to join forces against Earth, but failed." "Past Birdie, think past!" Avery said. "Right! King Nicholas is a stern ruler. In the sense that he fights for a some what just cause, but what her wants he takes. The people of Xanderium are happy and never at war with each other." "He must want Earth for something, then." Cattsie said. "Did he say anything about the Silver Crystal?" Prisma asked. "No, only a new enemy wanting to conquer the planet. Nothing I haven't defeated before." "The key to defeating him will be the reason he wants Earth. Find that out and you are sure to win." Avery said matter-o-factly. "You have any doubt of my ability to defeat him?" Serena asked the four sisters. ********************************************************************** BAD NEWS: My stupid word program still isn't working for me, and I went through and found most of the spelling mistakes in this chapter so please bare with me!!!!!!!
