A New Moon:Chap. 2, Sailor Samurai Moon
++++++++++
	Usagi sat in the back of the wagon with the mayor rambling on about =

how important he was. She didn't care though, her mind was too busy tryin=
g =

to figure out what was going on. This was nowhere near home, she didn't =

know anyone who lived here, she was hungry, and something the mayor said =
at =

the beginning of their encounter was still bugging her.
"Yes, ma'am! Without me Systemia would brobably have taken over the whole=
 =

world and killed all the scouts by now!"he said as Usagi started listenin=
g =

again, so she didn't seem rude.
"WHAT? SCOUTS? You mean SAILOR SCOUTS?!"
"Don't know of any other ones around here!"was his only reply.
"You have to take me to them!!"She said, almost histaracly
"Why? Do you remember something?"he asked.
"Umm, no, but those names seem really familliar!"
"What names?"
"You know, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupeter, Oh and can't forget Luna!"said =

Usagi while daydreaming of them back before this incedent when they were
shopping at the Juuban Mall.
"Well, Your in luck then! We have to pass by their camp anyway. They deci=
ded =

to make winter quarters over at the old McHenlly feild."said the Mayor wi=
th =

more than a little pride.
++++++++++
	Sailor Mars was haveing a bad day. First a bunch of idiot troopers =

think that since winter's here they can kill each other, than she finds o=
ut =

Tuxedo Mask went out on recconacense to see if Systemia was going to make=

a last try for Holbrook without telling her. And now that idiot =

self-centered mayor was comeing over to her with an empty cart! Wait, =

scratch that. With a girl whose wearing PANTS?!?
"Sailor Mars! Sailor Mars! I have to talk to you!!"screamed the mayor whi=
le
waveing his hands and trying to get Sailor Mars's attention.
"I see you already! Now what do you want? and whose that girl?" Sailor Ma=
rs
let a little of her irritation show as well as some of her curiosity.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. That girl there just appeared=
 in =

one of the farmers lots. She claimed to have lost her memory but she =

despritly wanted to see the scouts as well as someone named Luna."
At the sound of the second name Sailor Mars missed a breath. Noone but th=
e =

scouts knew about Luna. She and Artemis were just the scouts pets as far =
as =

anyone else knew."Bring her in the meeting tent and be on your way. You! =

Soldier go find the other scouts and tell them to meet me at the meeting =

hall NOW! This is going to be a long day."The last was uttered for her ea=
rs
alone.
++++++++++
                              <5 minuetes later>
"So what's all the commotion about Mars? Why aren't we in the tent?"asked=
 a =

very impatient Jupeter.
"Because of what is in that tent, There is a girl, about 14, blond hair i=
n =

two ponytails."was Mars's reply
"So whats the big deal?"asked Venus who was stroking Artemis.
"How about the fact that she was wearing pants, claimed to have lost her =

memory, and even knows about Luna!"No dought about it Sailor Mars was =

steemed!
"What!! She knew about me?"asked Luna from underfoot <Bad pun sorry:o>)
"Hmmm, could she be a spy or even an assasin from Systemia?"asked a curri=
os,
as always, Sailor Murcury.
"If so I say we fry her!"as once again Jupeter's impatiance showed throug=
h =

like a signal fire.
"Well perhps we should..."Venus never got to finish her sentince scince =

everyone's minds were stopped by an earsplitting wail of...
"WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!=
!!"
"Come on lets go inside and see whats happening!"shouted Mars when the =

ringing in her head stopped.
"Right! Everyone watch your back!"cautioned Mercury.
As the scouts enter the lage tent they see the 'assasin' lying on the flo=
or =

where she apparently was crying. She had a big red mark on her arm where =
she
bumped it on the large wooden circular table in the center of the tent.
"I knew she was an assasin! No human could make a sound that awful! Quick=
 =

lets get her!"shouted Jupeter. If you thought she was impatiant before th=
ere
was no stopping her now. Just as she was about to power up her lightning =

Usagi shouted out, "Wait it's me Usagi, you know, Sailor Moon, your leade=
r! =

You can't kill me!" "Ha what a lie if your Sailor Moon then why don't you=
 =

transform?"asked Mars "Because my brooch broke and then the crystal was p=
ut =

in it but now I gave the crystal to you guys when I was sucked into that =

portal!"Usagi said in as frantic and quick a speach as she had ever given=
=2E
"A very good story. Too bad it's all lies."that from a small black cat, s=
o =

far unseen by Usagi.
"LUNA! What do you mean? It's the truth I swear it!"came Usagi's responce=

"lier. if the brooch broke the crystal's energy would heal it. You wouldn=
't
need the crystal to remain in the brooch!"Luna remarked clearly angry tha=
t
someone would claim to be Sailor Moon.
Before the scouts could attack a voice from outside shouted,"Youma!! It's=
 a =

sneak attack!"
"Come on scouts were needed more outside but watch your back on the way o=
ut.
You better come with us Luna."Sailor Mars to the lead.
++++++++++
	Outside was a disaster. People were running everywhere, tents had =

collapsed, a few people were injured or even...dead. Sailor Mars happened=
 to =

see one of those bodies. It was the soldier that she had sent to get the
other scouts. The soldier that had trusted her completly, put his life in=
 =

her hands. And now he was dead, and Sailor Mars would make sure the youma=
 =

was as well. She spotted it a few yards away as it tore through yet anoth=
er =

tent. It was completly blue and seemed to look like it should be a bear o=
r
some other lagr animal. It was completely ignoring her. She would get it'=
s
attention.
"Mars Celestial Fire SURROUND!" and with the sacred incantation come a =

volley of super heated rings of fire. They hit the youma and it seemed to=
 =

take more damge than most. It turned to Sailor Mars in a furry and shot a=
n =

energy sphere at her. She in turn countered with a,
"Mars Fireballs Charge!" When the scroll hit the energy sphere there was =
a =

huge flash of light which momentarily blinded both the youma and Sailor =

Mars. When she could see again she noticed the monster snarl in rage. The=
n =

just as it seemed it would atack her again, it stopped. It started to glo=
w a
dark blue that somehow seemed to absorb as much light as it created. Ther=
e =

was another, smaller, flash of light as the youma turned into a shere of =

energy and headed into the sky.
	Meanwhile the other scouts weren't doing as well. While Mercury had =

managed to force the red Youma into the air with it's counterpart, she ha=
dn't =

been much help scince both hers and Sailor Jupeter's attacks did little o=
r =

no damage to the green youma. She began scanning the monster with her vis=
or =

and the youma, being preocupied with Jupeter ignored her. Sailor Mercury =

quickly darted away moments after her computer beeped to go find Venus.
	And find Venus she did. Venus was haveing a tough time, as Mercury =

predicted, with her youma, gold, as well. With a quick cry of
"Mercury Bubles Blast!" the area was filled with fog. Mercury used her vi=
sor =

to find Venus and quicky dragged her over to Jupeter. The youma, seeing i=
ts =

opponants running away, followed after them. When they got to Jupeter she=
 =

was obvioslly tireing. She was panting for breath and when she moved she =
was
favoring her right side. The latter was probably due to the slash the you=
ma =

had made across her thy. Mercury quickly had Venus and Jupeter switch you=
ma =

in hopes her hypothesis was correct. Which, as ussual, it was. Jupeter =

imidiatly injured the youma with her lightning while Venus had already ma=
de
hers rise with the others. The gold youma, seeing it was outnumbered, =

quickly joined its brethren in the heavens while Mars arrived at the rest=
 of =

the scouts. Even before they could pat themselves on the back, the youma
energy began swirling around each other. They then coolesed into a great =

mass of multi-collered energy that seemed to make you sick just by watchi=
ng =

it, as the soldiers around them learned the hard way.
	The energy began to take shape into a larger youma. This one looked =

exactly like the smaller ones except this one was bigger. Also, Instead o=
f =

being all one color, it was all four. They seemed to swirl around untill =

they converged at the center of its chest. and with a cry of"Elementia!" =
the
new youma was ready to fight. Unfortunately the scouts weren't. Mars was =
as
anxious as ever to keep on fighing as was Mercury, Jupeter and Venus were=
 in =

much worse shape. Jupeter had a nasty looking slash across her thy, and =

Venus had bruses all along her arm. Both were exaughsted from using so ma=
ny =

attacks."Come on guys, lets go here! Mars Fire Ignite!"Mars tried one of =
her =

lesser attacks to probe at the creatures defences. The result was anythin=
g
red on the youma glowing as a red sheild around the monster absorbed the =

fire."Oh Shit!"was jupeter's only responce. "Try a combined attack!"came =

Mercury's wisdom. "Venus Love Chain..." "Jupeter Thunderbolt..." "Encircl=
e!"
"ZAP!" and immediately an electrified chain of hearts was heading for the=
 =

youma. When it got there the chain passed through a green sheild where th=
e
electricity was removed. Then the chain shattered on a gold shield. The =

youma's only responce to that feeble attempt was a cry of "Elementia!!" =

"Guys, I think it studied our powers as the four smaller creatures and =

developed shields against them!" said Mercury. She was worried before but=
 =

now it seemed hopeless. "Time to die Sailor Scouts!"
"Hold it!" a cry peirced through the air. All heads turned to look at the=
 =

newcommer. It was Sailor Moon standing on a tether used for the scouts =

horses which they seldom used (the horses were gone). "Who are you?" =

questioned the now very annoyed youma."I am Sailor Moon champian of justi=
ce!
And on behalf of the moon, I will Punish YOU!" "I don't know who you are =
but =

you better get out of here before you get hurt!"said Sailor Mars. In =

responce Usagi simply stuck out her tounge at Mars. "Oh great were being =

saved by a meatball head!"retorted Mars. "Elementia!" screamed the youma =

trying to get the attention back on her. It worked as Sailor Moon took of=
 =

her tiara and with a shout of "Moon Tiara Magic!" sent it hurteling towar=
ds
Elementia. It in turn raised all of its shields. When the golden disk str=
uck,
however, it shattered all the sheilds and preceded to knock over the youm=
a.
Sailor Moon then dropped in front of Mars and precedded to shut her WIDE =

open mouth with her index finger. "It's not polite to gawk you know."she =

said. "How, how did you do that?"asked Mercury, being the first to regain=
 =

her wits. "Maybe now you'll believe me when I say I'm Sailor Moon!"Moon =

replied. "But that's impossible! Sailor Moon is trapped in a crystal in t=
he =

town of Mercenty, everyone knows that!"shouted Sailor Jupeter. But before=
 =

Sailor Moon could respond in turn the youma got up again for a second =

attempt at the scouts. "Uh OH! I guess my tiara didn't work!"Sailor Moon =

readied the Moon scepter in hopes it would work without the crystal. Afte=
r =

a quick whisper to her mother for guidence she held the scepter up to her=
 =

broach and concentrated on the energy needed. While she had her eyes clos=
ed,
the scepter and the broach begain to glow. the scepter seemed to turn int=
o =

liquid energy as the broach went to meet it. The energy formed into a swo=
rd
as the broach seemed to grow minutely smaller. when the light cleared Sai=
lor =

Moon was wearing Armor in the front of her boots and gauntlets on her arm=
=2E =

She had a thin plateing of armor on the front of her suit. She was holdin=
g a
thin silver sword that seemed to curve ever so slightly. It was light-wei=
ght
and edged on only one side. "I am Sailor Samurai Moon! Champian of justic=
e! =

in the name of the Moon I will punish you!" said the new improved Sailor =

Samurai Moon. "Not likely!"screamed Elementia. "Is it just me or do they =
say
that a lot? Moon Saber Quicksilver!" said Sailor Samurai Moon as she bega=
n =

her attack. The blade took on a pure silver sheen and seemed to be slicei=
ng =

air with a 'shink' at every slash. Then the miniture broach at the cross =

area of the sword began sending energy down the blade. As Usagi broaght t=
he =

blade downwoard and back up in a 'x' formation it sent out two cresents o=
f =

energy which sliced through the youma like a hot knife through butter. Th=
e =

area where the cressents struck seemed to slide down fractionally before =
the =

youma exploded. Sailor Samurai Moon stood stareing at where the monster w=
as
standing moments ago thinking to herself 'Where did that come from?!'. As=
 =

Mars approched her she quickly said, "I think we need to have a scout =

meeting to discuss this turn of events." and with that she walked over to=
 =

the meeting tent like she had just seen a ghost. But then that was probab=
ly =

what she was thinking as well.
++++++++++
	Lita took one last look at the dinner table. At first she was going =

to take Ken out for dinner but then she decided a more personal aproach =

would be better. She had a chicken cassorole in the oven along with some =

baked potatoes, bread rolls, salad, and fruit platter. She probably over =
did =

it, but the cooking always made her feel better. She checked the food and=
 =

then her outfit,a simple pair of jeans with a T-shirt and sweater after a=
ll
this wasn't a date, and waited for either the casorole to finish or for K=
en =

to arrive, whichever came first. She didn't have to wait long because wit=
hin =

moments of sitting down the doorbell rang. She opened the door for Ken an=
d =

asked him to come in. =

"So you gonna tell me whats wrong now or is it going to have to wait unti=
ll
after dinner."asked Ken after he took his coat off. He was wearing jeans =
as =

well as an oxford butten down shirt.
"Maybe we should wait untill after. I think the cassorole should be ready=

soon."she replied.
Ken, knowing that Lita liked to cook when she was depressed, was really =

woried when he saw the quantity of food on the table. They continued to e=
at =

in silent peace untill it became unbareable for Ken any longer. "Lita, I'=
m =

really enjoying this meal and all but I've gotta ask whats wrong? You =

promised to tell me but you keep putting it off." He said. When he looked=
 up
at Lita she had her head bowed and looked like she was about to break dow=
n =

crying. "I'm sorry for asking. I should have waited but whats wrong?"
"It's Usagi."she said and before she could finish Ken inturupted with,
"Whats wrong? Is she sick? I hear she wasn't in school today but no-one =

would tell me why."
"No she's not sick, she...she's ...she passed-on last night." and with th=
e =

uttering of those words Lita felt like a hand of ice had gripped her hear=
t =

and wouldn't let go. She looked up to see Ken stareing at her with a look=
 =

born of both campasion and sorrow. Under that gaze she could feel all of =
her
self-built walls dissapearing as she ran into his comforting arms. She be=
gan
sobbing uncontrollably on his shoulder and Ken could tell he was in for a=
 =

long night.
++++++++++
	 Auther's Note: First off I forgot to put in the first chapter that
after the scouts told Usagi's parents about Sailor Moon Amy devised a lie=
 =

that would allow Usagi to be or not be Sailor Moon without hinting at who=
 =

they were. This lie was basically that Usagi was walking with her friends=
 =

when they came to a bridge. Next they heard a cry of Mercury Boubles blas=
t =

and there was a thick fog. They kept running but lost Usagi. They turned =

again to the battle when they saw her outline tuning to ash. Next there w=
as
this big vaccum and they ran. The parents and scouts agreed on this as th=
eir =

story. Second I would like to thank anyone who sent remarks. And third is=
 I =

will probably have the next part finished in two to three weeks. Finnaly =
I am =

debating whether or not to put Michiro and Hikaro in my fic. Suggestions =
will =

be appreciated. Se ya then!
