Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: The Movie Hey! I'm Efrain Benavides, aka EfrainMan. Yeah, I know the Starlights don't do anything in my story but fly away, and it's not in script format, but I couldn't think of anything else for a title. Please excuse any incorrect information, but my Sailor Moon knowledge consists of the NA version and clips I downloaded From "Ms. Haruna's Homeroom" (http://siggy.iceonline.com/~ftp/ ). I used Japanese names only when there is no English equivalent from the DIC dub, so there. ;p Special thanks to Virginia Potter. ;) E-mail comments, questions, and/or flames to "RVillalobo@aol.com". Oh! Copy this (why anyone would want to, I don't know) and I'll send my cat, Tsuki, after you. Hey, that was her name long before I knew Sailor Moon even existed. Hmmm. I hope it's just a coincidence. Now, on with the show!: 1 kecam=around 4 liters 1 gobj=2 months 1 pahced=1 kilogram 1 click=2 hours 1 shrem=2 degrees Celcius ***************************************************************************** Part 1: "Coming up on the planet Captain Khidf," a female voice says. "Good job Corji. Shecou, composition?" a male voice asks. "Whew! Seventy percent of the surface is covered with water. One hundred sextillion kecams!" another male voice says. "How long for our ship to destroy that much water?" "About three gobjs." "Corji, is it worth it?" A female shadow bends down at the scanner. It gasps and says, "S-scan field detects t-t-twenty BILLION pahceds of silver!" The two other shadows in the ship immediately turn to her. "By the Defoblian Rings! Can such a planet exist? Shecou, verify!" "Verified. And-" "Sir, massive energy field coming toward us, dark energy. Some kind of cloud." "Evasiv-" "Wait," shouted Corji. After a pause, she said, "It's dissipating." On the giant screen in front of them, called a vidscreen, the dark cloud came near them and disappeared. "What was it?" Shecou asked. "Who cares? We have more important things to worry about. Corji, send out a claimnote (radio signal that announces sender has claimed a planet). I want this planet all to ourselves. There isn't a star system out there with this much silver. And seven percent of it is ours. We'll die happy warriors! And I thought we got the crappy job. Huh, just this morning I was wondering who I forgot to kiss up to, or if I kissed up enough. Now, whatever I did or didn't do, I'm glad I chose this path." "Sir, receiving claimnotes from the other ships. From the sixth planet onward, there is no silver. The rest of this system has four hundred million pahceds of silver all together! This has to be the richest system in the galaxy. It's unnatural." "It does feel strange. I sensed it too. Mayb-" "Another energy source!" Shecou shouted. "Wait, it's not heading for us," Corji said, "it's only heading away from the planet, towards unexplored space. It was some kind of teleport beam originating from the same place as the dark energy." "Now I'm interested. Who was inside?" "A small adult female. I'm extrapolating an image on the vidscreen." The screen showed Galaxia, flying away from Earth. Then the screen flickered blank. "Sailor Galaxia! What is she doing on this planet?" "I don't know. But she's leaving, and I believe there are starseeds following her. Millions of them. Do you think she conquered this planet?" "No. There are still over five billion locals living here." "At least she's leaving us alone. I thought we were going to kiss our starseeds goodbye. Any other energies?" "None that I can see, sir. But I am receiving a commsignal from the ship assigned the first planet. They say it looks and feels like Craterfield Desert on the hottest day of the year. One hundred and sixty-eight shrems in temperature. But almost no air. They'll have to supplement it. Around seventy shrems too hot. But the atmospheric supplementation will make it cooler." "Shecou, what about this planet?" Khidf asked. "To land? Um . . . Ah! There's a very habitable area on one of the larger land masses. Warmer areas exist, but they're too close to populated areas. It's about twenty shrems." "Brrr." "It occupies most of the top of the land mass. Empty, and beautiful yellow sand. Wait . . . Aha! This planet has chemicals that keep it cool. We can quickly eliminate the chemicals over this area. I calculate temperature changes of seventy to eighty shrems." "Good. Do it." "Releasing chloroflourocarbons (CFC's)." A whizz is heard from below the ship. The crew stayed quiet for about a minute until a buzz is heard. "Alright, we have cleared an area one hundred times the size of our ship. The area is now seventy-five shrems. Almost four times it's original temperature. Hmmm . . . it's dropping." "Of course it is you moron! Look, the day is turning to night!" "At least-Oh no! Another energy source. Different from the other two. Corji, you see it?" "Yeah. It's a very powerful Starseed. From the same location as the first two energies. It's about a quarter of this planet's diameter from our landing site." Khidf said, "I want to investigate these energy sources once we are firmly set on the planet, is that clear?. They may present opposition." "Sir, yes, sir!" Corji and Shecou shouted. "Preparing to land." "Brace the ship systems and initiate landing configuration." A thunk is heard as the ship, which was shaped like a pointed cigar, flattened slightly, and pointed horn shaped wings emerged from the side. The hinge connecting them to the ship was in the back. It took them a few hours, but they finally touched down. "Set the ship. I want everything settled as soon as possible. Shec-" "Damn, four more teleport beams! Same general area, but slightly different location. By the Defoblian Rings, they went too fast. I can't extrapolate an image," Corji said. "No matter. At least we know that area has something in it." "All systems set. They'll be ready by this planet's morning." "Good." Khidf paused. "Corji, Shecou, how long have we been together?" "Fifty years, Khidf," Shecou replied. "To come across such a find at the end of our careers? It must be the work of the Fate. The inhabitants of this planet won't know what hit them." "Ow! Why'd you hit me?" "Sailor Scout meeting, remember meatball-head." "Why Raye? We're not fighting anyone? I thought it was a joke." "The rest of us need to tell you something." The demeanor the rest of the scouts had was actually enough to take most of Serena's appetite away. Most of it. She had the same as everyone else. "So what's going on?" "It's kinda hard to explain," Haruka said. "Actually I just figured it out," Amy said, "when our starseeds were removed, and our bodies faded out, then reformed, it freed any and all memories that may still have been locked away." "We can remember everything from our birth to our present lives, including legends," Hotaru said, "We thought this was only a nice little distraction, until Darien talked to us." "This isn't only a legend, but a historical account passed down by my old family before Queen Beryl attacked the Moon Kingdom," he said. "Wouldn't it be a Queendom?" Lita asked. Darien glared at her, "I could finish what I have to say if I'm not interrupted." "Sorry." "Anyways, it has to do with why Earth doesn't have a Sailor Scout, only me." "Because you'd look dumb in the costume?" Mina said. They needed that little laugh. "No, but it is complicated. It dates back to way before the Silver Millennium. About a thousand years." "What is it with a thousand years and us?" Setsuna asked. "Silver Millennium, asleep for a thousand years, Crystal Tokyo a thousand years from now." "Does it really matter? I'd like to finish this before the sun sets. A THOUSAND YEARS before the Silver Millennium," he said, the spite caught only by Setsuna. "The Solar System was very different, but resembled what we have on Earth today, only a lot less war. An occasional skirmish between neighboring planets for forgotten reasons every few decades, but they never lasted over a few months. The main powers were the Moon and Earth, and they got along like Japan and China. The other planets had a preference to one or the other, but nothing they would declare. Then a neighboring civilization tried to conquer us. They were from Betelgeuse, and they were nasty. The peoples of the Solar System combined in a weak alliance to fight them off. But neither side could get an advantage. The war lasted for about two hundred and fifty years. Then someone asked the Imperium Silver Crystal for help. It knew we were only trying to defend ourselves. So it changed the Sailor Scouts." "When our Suits were created by the original Scouts," Amy began, "they decided to make them look like armor. That was no problem until the, uh, Crooj attacked. That's what they were called, right?" Darien nodded. "They were as powerful as we were, and because we were wearing armor, they took us seriously. So the Crystal changed the Suits to, uh . . . distract our enemies." "So does this mean we could change these damned things?" Haruka asked. "When you reach a certain level of power and training, maybe," Artemis replied. "But for now, no." "Crud." "Well, the Crystal then gave the Sailor Powers to all the princesses, including Earth's princess, instead just of our most powerful warriors, just to see if we were willing to carry out the same orders we would impose on our young warriors. But it worked. Needless to say, the war was won and victory ours. But then came the problem. We then invaded Betelgeuse in the heat of battle, and conquered it. Now all that was left was to divide the spoils. And that started the Earth-Moon War. The Moon said it should get the riches of the Crooj because it was their Crystal that saved them. The Earth said it should at least get the most gold because their warriors fought the fiercest. And underlying preferences surfaced into full allies and enemies. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus, in that order, allied with the Moon. Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn, also in that order, allied with Earth. And for the next seven hundred years or so, there was war. But the Moon was more powerful than Earth. The "outer" planets, as they were called, were all lost to the Moon. During the last century of war, all battles were fought on Earth. But the Moon just couldn't get a good foothold to conquer Earth and win the war. And that's how it went for a while. Until two thousand years ago, right before the Silver Millennium, Jesus Christ was born. The Moon couldn't attack the planet with the new Messiah, and decide to a compromise." "New Messiah?" Serena asked with her mouth full. "Yeah. Um, there was a Messiah every two thousand years, starting six thousand years ago. The first was from Mercury. Four thousand years ago, there was one from Venus. Two thousand years ago, the year zero, there was one from Earth, Jesus. And now one from the Moon, you." Darien replied. "Oh, Okay." "Anyways, we decided to return everything we took from the Crooj, and warned them not to attack us again. By now, the "inner" planets became very close to the Moon, and the "outer" planets to Earth. So two kingdoms were formed that very day. The Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter as the Moon Kingdom. Earth, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto as the Atlantis Empire." "Ah! The legend of Atlantis is true," Michiru said, "I'd forgotten." "Yes. That is where the Earth Kingdom resided. Cool, huh? Anyways, the princesses of all the planets soon died of old age, and the new princess and Scout of each PLANET was chosen in a different way than just the strongest warriors. The girl born looking human on the planet was the next princess, no matter where she came from. It was not chose by bloodline, but by worth. As you should have guessed by now, not everyone in the Solar System looked human. Each planet had it's own varied race of people. Only the Earth and the Moon had humans. That was no problem for the Moon, because it's princess was chosen by bloodline. The first ruler of the new Moon Kingdom was King Serenitas, but it was his younger sister, Serene, who was Sailor Moon. But this did pose a problem for Earth. There were millions of humans on Earth, and it was always getting harder and harder to find her. Halfway into the Silver Millennium we had no Sailor Scout. Her symbol was a circle with it's vertical and horizontal diameters forming a cross. Atlantis was without a ruler. So this is what we did . . ." Corji spread her wings full, leaped out the ship, and started to fly. After hours of work, it was nice to get away from it all. That chair really cramped her wings. Meanwhile, Shecou was watching his big sister fly around in the cold night. 'Twenty shrems,' he thought, 'she's insane! But she was beautiful, or so her boyfriends back home thought.' He'd never seen a woman who slept around so much. Her black uniform hid nothing of her small, but strong body. 'Hmmm . . . I bet the people of this planet might think her pretty tall. They were a little shorter than most other races.' Shecou showed a similar body through his black uniform, but with no wings. And his figure was a little more masculine, of course. He brushed his red hair aside, wondering why the modern styles liked hair over the face. 'Oh well, it's better than going against them and getting executed.' Khidf came in and sat beside him, staring at Corji. "What is she doing?" "She said it helps her relax. Spread her wings out." Khidf was totally different. He was huge. All of his muscles showed through his black uniform. The shoulder armor was the only variation. It was what made him Captain. His smooth, bland face was covered with a mask that was all utilitarian, but had the appearance of a robot. He saw an entertainment transmission from this planet with a character that resembled him. 'Oh, what was his name?' he thought. 'Ah! Optimus Prime was his name.' Corji reentered the ship. Each knew what the other was thinking. Time to rest. A big day lay ahead. Conquest was merely a formality nowadays. And it was more fun than just pushing a button and killing everyone. Plus the energy sources had to be investigated. Darien resumed after he swallowed, "We had a sort of election to decide who would rule Atlantis. One of my ancestors won. But it did not cause peace. The people who wanted another to rule started to riot. Eventually this created a civil war. One that destroyed Atlantis. We were scattered around the world, leaving Earth in the state that we read in the history books. The peace of the Silver Millennium didn't quite encompass Earth. Those loyal to my ancestor restarted the Earth Kingdom in the Americas, around Denver I think. And we were the Earth's only link to the Moon Kingdom and the rest of the Outer Planets. I believe so many people did not like my ancestor because he was the Captain of the Earth Guards when we had an Earth Princess. They thought he would be too warlike to be a good ruler. But to the point of my story. We need to find her. She was very powerful. She may be able to increase Sailor Moon's powers to their full potential. You'd still be Eternal, of course, but complete." "My vision of Eternal Sailor Moon," Hotaru said, "was incomplete because I did not know there was a Sailor Earth." "Not to mention, guarding the Earth Princess is a family tradition that I must also follow. Which brings me to another point. Along with Sailor Earth, we must also find the Captain of the Moon Guards. He was very powerful. It was rumored that he was even more powerful than all the Scouts combined, but holding back to show respect. And he was the Captain ever since before the Sailor Scouts were changed, and died when Beryl attacked so long ago. Beryl herself had to kill him because none of the other Negawarriors could touch him. But, like us, he was brought back to life here and now. He needs to be found." "I think he'll find us," Raye said, "I remember his power, and will appear if we ever need him against enemies that are too powerful for our us." "Like when the Negamoon attack us in the future?" Lita asked. "I guess," Raye reluctantly replied. "I'm starting to remember too," Serena said, "We were very close, a father-daughter relationship." "He was always very close to whoever the Moon Princess was. Queen Serenity felt the same way about him when she was the Moon Princess and Sailor Moon." "Whoa. I can't imagine my mother in battle." "If you can do it, anybody can," Raye said. "Oh, shut up." "There really wasn't anything to battle anyways," Darien said. "I think I can create a program that might be able to find them, with a little luck," Amy announced. "I hope so. They could be anywhere." "Well now that we got that out of the way, give me everything on the right side of the menu," Serena announced. Everyone else fell with a THUNK! 'I can't believe this is happening to me.' It is the first thought when she awakens and the last when she sleeps. Wandering through the Sahara, she is alone, the only true nomad that has not taken refuge in numbers. But how can she? The rest of her family was killed by marauders. And she is ages away from anyone. All that remains of her old life is part of her name, Amiri. Her protective clothing hides a beautiful young woman, struggling with all her might to survive. But oases were very rare here. And it has been getting hotter than usual as she headed west. "Why me?" 'I can't believe this is happening to me.' These are her thoughts as she plays with her short, blonde hair. 'Why is my father dragging me to the Sahara desert? I don't see why he needs me to do his geological surveys. These had made us rich, and I'm not complaining about that. But I don't share his interests. I could be out shopping in an air conditioned mall. But noooo . . . he needs his Becky with him. Damn, it's getting hot! Where are those porters?' "Get me some water, now!" 'I can't believe this is happening to me.' A beautiful Hispanic girl with long brunette hair was holding a book, but unable to read it because she was too excited. 'Imagine, going to the world's largest sandy desert to study the way life survives!' This has to be the best thing that had happened to Gloria, the young biologist. If there was such a thing, she'd be a prodigy in biology, but only mathematics and music had prodigies. But it was still good to be so respected before she was even an adult. She didn't imagine it would be this hot, though. Oh well. It was worth it to prove her theories to her colleagues. "What an adventure!" The Inners were at a loss on how to do it. Their little distraction resurfaced a legend and a problem. It was more than the fun they had remembering the lovely times the had in the Moon Kingdom. Now they wished they were still with the others. Unfortunately, the problem was their own. And Luna's. She was still with them. Artemis was conducting guy talk with Darien. "Now let me get this straight. Right before Beryl attacked, your people made weapons for each of you, but you never used them because you were not powerful enough?" Luna asked. "Yes. But now we are. And we think they may still be on our planets, protected by the fortresses the were built in. I was to have the Mystic Ice Harp," Amy replied. "I was to have the Light and Love Sword," Mina added. "I was to have the Firestorm Bow and Quiver," Raye said, "The quiver never ran out of arrows." "And I was to have the Lightning Strike Hammer," Lita concluded, "It was based on the Earth legend of Thor. A Norse legend, I believe." "When given to us, it would give us new powers," Amy continued, "Or at least for three of us. I already have my new power, Aqua Mirage, but the Harp will make it and all my other powers stronger. Plus I'd also be able to use my Bubbles without incantation." "The rest of us would receive brand new powers, plus the other things Amy said. But of course the problem is getting them. We would have to wait until more practical space travel is invented. Or something else pops up." The first scan would only be a flyby, but the analysis would keep them busy for a couple of hours. Khidf drew the "short straw" for the first time in months. But only because he wanted to. And it would keep his siblings' suspicions in check. He went through the checklist easily, and started the scan of the building they narrowed it down too. 'Wow! It was totaled! The energies must have been pretty strong to do that. Hmmm . . . the preliminary scans showed the destruction was older than the energies they encountered, but not so much that they were not related.' He also did a DNA scan. Anyone who was here, they would find them. For some reason, Becky's father was also meeting a biologist. Another scientist! Oh well, at least she would be her age. 'Man, it's getting even hotter as they approached the rendezvous airport.' Unfortunately for her, she fell asleep too early to notice the thermometer rise and explode. Serena and Darien could not believe it. But there it was. "Who does it belong to?" she asked. "I don't know. The owner of the store? Here he comes." A fat little man walked in, his left hand with a soda, his right picking at the acne on his face. He could not possibly fit in the armor they saw. Serena had to make a pit stop while Darien was driving her home. And what they saw in the collectors' store took their breath away. A suit of armor, made for a huge muscular man. And from the Moon Kingdom, too. A huge crescent moon was painted on the chest plate. The elbow and knee plates had crescent moons painted on them, too. And the helmet was a blue crescent moon folded around the head. The face plate had a kind of evil look to it. On the forehead, another crescent moon was painted. The eyes were dark red and looked angry. Over the mouth and nose there was thicker, silver colored plating, and over each cheek there were three yellow diagonal lines that resembled stripes. Serena and Darien recognized it immediately. It was the Captain of the Moon Guard's armor! But it couldn't belong to this little man. It couldn't be his. "Is this yours?" Darien asked. "Yeah. It's mine, I found it, and it's not for sale. At least, not while it grows so much in value. It quintupled in value in only three years. Pick something else to buy." "Where did you get this?" "Whuzzit to ya?" "Well maybe we'd like to look for our own artifacts." "Huh. Good luck. I was five when I found it, and it was in another part of the world. All I remember was intense heat." Corji began to analyze the scans. It would take hours, but the ship would then be able to extrapolate a recreation of whatever destroyed the building. The DNA scans would also provide them with the faces of the people there. They would soon find them. "Khidf, as long as you're there could you also bring back some silver samples?" Corji asked over the comm, liking the temporary authority. "Good. I like to acquire more silver for my collection." He almost made it sound like it was his decision. Let's see, Khidf thought, where is a good concentration of silver? Ah! A building around here has a good amount of silver in it. I'll go there. He didn't care, though, about the strange alien writing on the wall. It read "Jewelry O-SAP."
