Sailor Moon T
Part One:
All Things New
by Avilonus
New Powers: Treasures of the Past
It was a cold night in Tokyo when a lone figure looked over the city from the radio tower on its northern edge. The figure, a young man, stared for hours in silence surveying the city. Unmoving in the pouring rain or the high winds near the top of the tower…he just stood their…watching…and waiting.
Meanwhile on the other side of town seven familiar faces reside on the banks of a crystal- lake. Here they stand fully transformed, Tokyo’s guardians and the champions of the earth. They are the Sailor Scouts: Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Chibi Moon, and they’re leader Sailor Moon. Tuxedo Mask and their feline protectors Luna and Artimis accompany them. Protected by a small shelter, untouched by the rain or wind, they too wait.
“So Luna, tell me again why we have to be out here tonight, it’s freezing.” asked Serena (complaining as usual).
“I never told you in the first place Serena, it’s a secret and all you need to know is that you should be patient!” replied Luna, impatiently. This being the sixth time Serena has asked in the past hour.
“Well at least I have Darien here to keep me warm!” Serena said as she turned to grab hold of Darien only to find that Renee had beaten her and was asleep in his arms. “Hey you little fungus, Darien is my boyfriend! If anyone is going to be held while they’re sleeping by him its me! ME, ME, ME, ME, ME…
“Will you be quite! Renee is a little kid and it’s late, though the way your acting you’d think it was past you’re bedtime!” Ray was quick to snap at Serena.
“Stay out of this Ray. If she wanted to sleep she could have brought a blanket like Mina”. Serena pointed out that Mina was quietly napping on a nearby pink blanket.
Darien sighed as the bickering between the two girls continued. Meanwhile Mercury and Jupiter stud together talking. Ami and Lita were truly best friends and were usually found side by side.
“So why haven’t you told the others yet?” Lita starred at Ami who held in her hands a picture of a young man about Darien’s age.
“Because the others are always searching for this kind of thing and this one just happened to find me?” replied Ami.
“Go on and tell them, if this guy is as great as you say he is they’ll be happy for you.”
Ami looked over at Mina who was now sucking her thumb and Ray and Serena who were now pulling on each other’s hair. “Maybe when they’re a little older.” Both girls began to laugh and continued to talk.
Suddenly the rain stopped. “Artimis? Do you feel that?” Luna turned to her white furred counterpart expecting an immediate answer.
“I hope that the girls are ready for this?” said Artimis as he gazed into Luna’s eyes with a look of doubt. He finally smiled assuring her that he was ready and that he thought the girls were. “Hey, everyone get over here right now!”
The girls turned to face Artimis and Luna and moved towards them. Darien woke up Renee and Mina. Mina continued sucking her thumb not wanting to get up but finally joined the others. All wanted to say something but none could as they starred in amazement at the two massive spirals of water lifting from the lake and a glowing gold figure standing between them. Floating just above the water, the figure slowly moved toward the shore and as it did its brilliant light began to fade. As it approached them the group began to feel an intense force from it. As the light dimmed a man’s figure could be made out. The man had long white hair and black cape. The robes he whore where of a crystal-blue silk and he carried with him a long golden box. The figure settled on the shore and began looking around to survey the land on which it was now standing.
“Artimis, who is this guy?” asked Mina.
“Quiet Mina, all will be revealed soon.” he replied. Artimis’ eyes never moved. His answer though to Mina, was directed at this strange man.
It was as if hours had passed with no one speaking as the stranger looked around. Each scout was on her toes and so was Tuxedo Mask. The only one not concerned was the sleeping Renee. The man finally looked at Luna and Artimis.
“Luna and Artimis. My, it’s been what, 23,000 years now?”
“24, 674 but who’s counting?” said Artimis.
“Certainly not me. After I turned 17,000,000 I stopped counting anything… it makes me feel old.” the man began to laugh and the two cats joyfully joined in.
The others simply stared in confusion as the trio conversed in their own little conversation. No one could exactly figure out who this gentleman was but it was clear that he meant no harm.
“Just who do you think this guy is?” Mina asked the others.
Everyone had basically the same response: they didn’t know but felt a strange energy from him.
“And I believe you are the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask.” the figure was addressing the group hen session that instantly jumped back because they were startled. “There is no reason to be afraid of me.”
“Everyone, you can drop your guard, this is King Orion… the person who created your powers!” announced Artimis.
The girl’s eyes widened and they looked at King Orion and back at Artimis and Luna.
“But I always thought that Queen Serenity gave us our powers”, Lita said in shock.
“Or that they were inherited from our different planets.” added Ami.
“The truth is that King Orion gave her your powers to be given to you in times of war… he gave similar powers to all who served on his court.” answered Luna.
“His Court? Don’t you mean my Mom’s court, after all she was queen of the solar system.” stated Serena proudly with her arms crossed, her nose in the air, and sticking her tongue out at King Orion.
“Serena!!!”, Luna shoot back.
“It’s OK Luna. Serena all will be revealed soon but my time is short.” Announced the King as he starred into the stars. He then focused his gaze on the Scouts and Tuxedo Mask. The box floated from his hands and hovered in the air. It opened revealing eight golden keys and two silver heart-shaped lockets. The head of each key had three circles that had within them the symbols of each Scouts previous attacks and the end of the key was the sign the Scouts world. The keys and lockets began to glow. The King stepped forward and began to speak. As he spoke his words filled the Scouts with memories of their forgotten pasts, dreams of their great futures, fear, and hope all at the same time.
“In the Court of Queen Serenity the Sailor Scouts were the Nine Guardians of this Solar System. Each Scout was intended to have powers far beyond those that you now have or have ever imagined. Never was it thought that those powers would be needed so they were locked away deep within the cores of each world… but now the time has come. A terrible force is heading toward the Earth and will arrive within one year. In that time you must master your new powers and gain new allies. I will now bestow upon you the first step toward these ancient powers as well as your new titles …
To Sailor Venus, The Scout of Love, I present the Key of Venus. (The key floated to her).
To Sailor Mars, The Scout of War, I present the Key of Mars. (The key floated to her).
To Sailor Jupiter, The Scout of Justice, I present the Key of Jupiter. (The key floated to her).
To Sailor Moon, The Scout of Serenity, I present the Silver Moon Locket. (The heart shaped locket floated to her).
(The king turned to Renee who was still asleep in Darien’s arms).
For you sleeping princess, I give this smaller locket that will someday make you as strong as the other Scouts (the locket fitted itself into Renee’s hand). But for now Scout of Innocence, rest.
(A key floated to the King and he took it in his hands. He then stepped forward to Ami.)
To you Sailor Mercury, Scout of Wisdom, I present the Key of Mercury. This key is special because it can unlock the truth in ones heart. Perhaps that alone will be enough to save your world. (He handed the key to Ami).
To you Tuxedo Mask I give this (a cane appeared in Tuxedo’s hand). That cane is as strong as tempered steel and will extend three hundred yards… consider it a gift for protecting the Earth.
Luna and Artimis I trust you to protect the keys of the outer planets until such time as they can be delivered.
I bid you all farewell and wish you luck in the future.”
With that King Orion began to glow and disappeared into the stars. The Scouts gathered their things and were on their way. Mean while the same lone figure as before was still watching…
“So when can we begin?” asked a woman with pink hair. She appeared from the shadows, floated behind him, and folded her arms around his neck, rubbing her face to his. “I can’t wait to meet the legendary Neo Queen Serenity… and kill her.”
“No fair Kyori. You got to kill the leader of the last target.” shouted a silver haired woman in a girlish voice and Brooklyn accent. She darted from the shadows of the tower and floated directly in front of her two companions. “It’s my turn to kill someone, Ory. I never get to do it! Please let me do it!!! Please, please, please, please, pleeeeeeeaaaaassss!!!!” she whined as she began to pout and swing her arms and legs as if she were throwing a tantrum.
“Let the baby do it Ory!” interrupted a green haired woman from above.
“Yeah Ory, say yes before Masjore wets herself… again!” said another with bright red hair. Both sat on the rafters above.
“I am not a baby, Galey!” shouted Masjore. “And Valoryia, if you don’t stop bringing that up I’m going to…”
Valoryia held her hand up to Masjore cutting her off as she felt a warm wetness washing down her leg. “What were you saying Masjore… oh wait I know, if I don’t stop you’ll do it again” taunted Valoryia. She and Galey began to laugh.
Masjore was devastated. She watched as her new jeans were ruined. Her eyes turned blood red and she bared her teeth. She could fell that her pants were soaked and she knew it was time for revenge. What she didn’t know was that Galey was pointing her hand at her. Masjore’s war face vanished. Instead it was replaced with teary eyes, a quivering mouth, and a runny nose. She then began to cry as though she were a baby.
“Well I guess she lied about not being a baby.” laughed Galey. Valoryia joined in with her own hysterical laughter.
Masjore couldn’t stop bawling long enough to retaliate so she did the only thing she could think of. “OOORRRRRYYYYYY.” she yelled. She quickly began to cry loudly, almost drowning out the laughter of her tormentors.
The young man had been oblivious to them until now. He broke his gaze for the first time and observed the three women. “Galey! Valoryia! Undo this now!” he yelled. The two women froze and did as they were ordered. Masjore stopped crying and prepared to attack. She shot up after them in a rage. “Masjore come here!” said the young man. She froze in mid flight and looked back at him. She ignored him and returned to her assault. “NOW!!!” he yelled. Masjore stopped, she then turned and rushed down to him.
“I’m sorry Ory… but they were making fun of me and all I wanted to do was help.” she whined with her head to the ground.
He raised her chin. “I know, I know… but you are well aware of their powers and still you let them bait you. You mustn’t let them do that anymore. Now go change into some clean clothes… I have a mission for you.” She smiled and then disappeared. “And as for you two, since you want to act so childishly…”
Galey and Valoryia knew what was next. They felt their tennis fall from their feet as their clothes began to slide off their bodies. Their socks followed and their tight shirts that once showed off their enormous chests now looked like night gowns on their child sized figures.
“I think being 3’ tall will do as a punishment for now. Now collect your things and report to the playroom. When Masjore returns you will play whatever she wants for as long as she wants. Understood?” he said as their discarded clothes floated around them.
“Yes OriNight.” they said together as they disappeared.
“Why didn’t you regress them, instead of just shrinking them? Masjore would have had more fun with that and they would suffer even more.” said the pink haired woman.
“Because, Kyori, I am in a good mode. We can begin tomorrow night as soon as Masjore confirms that Sailor Saturn is no longer in any position to interfere… she knows too much. Unlike the others her memory is intact and she might remember me. Besides, if you really want to see them suffer just go and watch Masjore play with them. I just gave her an entire store full of new toys that she has been dying to try out.” With that they both disappeared.
New Friend: Secret Revealed
It was 10am Sunday and the Scouts were supposed to meet at the Temple to go to a Martial Arts tournament. Both Lita and Darien were entered and they expected to meet in the final round. Everyone was present except for Ami. Usually the first to arrive, it was strange that Serena had beaten her there. As the girls sat waiting at the top of the temple stairs they questioned Lita as to Ami’s whereabouts.
“Come on Lita, you’re her best friend, where is she.” asked Mina.
“I’ve said it a hundred times already, I don’t know.” Lita replied.
Serena jumped in front of Lita. “When you say that it usually means your hiding something juuuiiiiiiccyyyyy. Come on and tell us.”
As the girls bantered back and forth Rae noticed a red sports car pulling up. It stopped right in front of the stairs letting Ami out of the passenger door. She began talking to the driver; a blue haired young man wearing a pair of sunglasses.
“Hey guys look!” said Rae. The girls all stood and looked toward the street. Ami hadn’t noticed them and was chatting away with the stranger.
“So you are coming, right?” asked the young man.
“Yes, but I’m going with my friends and I’m not sure I want them to meet you just yet.” Ami replied.
The young man looked past her toward the stairs. “You mean those friends?”
Ami looked back and saw everyone running down the stairs, except for Lita who was walking and shaking her head. She then turned back to the young man. Before she could speak he cut her off. “ I think I should be on my way. Bye Ami, I’ll see you later.” He yelled as he drove off.
As the girls gathered around, thoughts raced in Ami’s mind of just what to tell them. After about 30 minutes of probing Ami was able to convince Serena, Rae, and Mina that the young man was a friend of her mothers that had dropped her off. As they sat on the steps waiting on Darien and Renee to take them to the tournament grounds Serena, Rae, and Mina were busy plotting how to set Ami up with this mystery guy.
Suddenly they realized that they had not gotten his name. The three girls converged on Ami who was quietly reading a book. “Hey Ami, we were just wondering, that guy that dropped you off… what’s his name?” asked Mina.
“It’s Michael.” Ami replied just as Darien and Renee drove up in a rented van.
The tournament was held in Central Park, had four matted areas for rings, and a stage at the center of the park with a matted floor for the last three matches. It was 1:00pm and the tournament was going well. After only an hour and a half of fighting the tournament was down to its last five competitors. Darien would be facing a boy name Lee in the semifinals and Lita was waiting to see who she was going to face. As Darien prepared for his match Lita and the rest of the girls searched for Ami who had been absent for several of her friends victories.
“So Rae where do you think she is?” asked Mina.
“I don’t have any idea but I hope Serena and Lita are having better luck than we have trying to get through this crowd!” Rae responded as she attempted to shove her way through a mob of people.
Meanwhile Lita and Serena where looking for Ami near the ring holding the bout for the final spot in the semifinals. As they approached they herd a huge cheer from the crowd before them.
“I guess the match is starting.” said Serena
“No, look at the placement board.” said Lita. She pointed to the large cube near the center of the park. Serena looked over to see that the plot for the final semifinalist had been filled. Serena read the name out loud. “Shin? Who do you think that is?”
“I don’t know, but he’s going down!” Lita replied confidently.
Just then Ami came running from the crowd with a huge smile on her face. She almost ran past her two friends. “Where have you been. Lita and Darien have been fighting some very tough people and you weren’t even around to cheer?” yelled Serena. Ami stopped in her tracks and turned to face them. Before Ami could respond Lita cut her off.
“Calm down Serena, they weren’t that tough and besides I’m sure Ami has a good reason for disappearing. Now lets go before Darien’s match starts.
The girls cheered Darien on as he easily won his match advancing him to the finals. Renee was upset because she couldn’t see the entire fight having to jump up and down to see onto the stage. But she was happy that she had spent the whole day with Darien: from going to rent the van, to talking with him between matches she had been with him all day without Serena bothering her.
It was finally Lita’s turn to fight. She made her way to the center of the ring as the others watched. She began to stretch before her opponent arrived. She knew she was at the top of her game and that no one had been able to touch her today. She noticed a young man walking toward her from the corner of her eye, and as she looked her eyes widened at what she saw. Lita stood with her hands on her hips to face her opponent.
“Well, I never expected this.” she said
“Neither did I.” Michael replied.
The others finally noticed Lita’s opponent and immediately realized who he was. “Hey that’s Ami’s friend what’s his name… Mitchell!” shouted Serena.
“His name is Michael, Serena. Ami did you know he was competing?” asked Mina.
Ami nodded, never taking her eyes off the fighters who had already taken their stances.
“I hope you still like him when Lita beats him.” announced Serena.
Rae hit Serena over the head but before she could yell at her the match began. Lita made the first move: she tried to punch Michael with her right hand. Using his right hand he grabbed her wrist pulling her past him, then putting his left hand on her back he forced her to the ground holding her there for five seconds scoring a point.
They returned to their starting positions and began again. Michael attacked this time quickly scoring a point with a punch to Lita’s stomach. Lita was hurt, not by the punch she had been hit much harder in other tournaments. She was hurt because she didn't have time to counter, she never saw his attack coming. As she took her fighting stance again she realized that with one more point he would win and that it was going to be hard to beat someone who had proven he was both stronger and faster than she.
The ref. signaled for them to begin once more. Lita lunged at Michael with as many combos as she could think of but Michael dodged every punch and kick with ease. In the midst of Lita’s attack Michael jumped back and thrusted his foot towards her stopping inches from her face. Lita was in shock and the entire crowd was silent. Lita backed up and bowed. Michael returned his foot to the ground and bowed to her.
“Good match.” Lita said as she extended her hand.
“Ami told me you were a good fighter. I guess I was just lucky today.” Michael replied as he shook her hand.
“Next time I won’t take you so lightly!” Lita said. They both laughed and Lita left the ring.
Darien patted Lita’s shoulder as they passed each other. Darien took his place in the ring and prepared himself to fight.
“Do you want a minute to rest?” asked the Referee addressing Michael.
“No I’m fine.” he replied
Lita reached Ami and looked back at the ring.
“Your boyfriend is a lot stronger than I thought.” Lita said. Ami covered Lita’s mouth.
“HE’S YOUR BOYFRIEND!!!” yelled Rae, Mina, and Serena as they popped up behind them.
Lita cringed and removed Ami’s hand from her mouth. “Sorry I didn’t see them there!”
“Why didn’t you tell us?” asked Mina.
“Yeah how could you keep him a secret?” shot Rae.
“WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD AS SOON AS YOU MET HIM!” yelled Serena.
In the midst of all the screaming both Darien and Michael were starring at the girls. Both had their mouths hanging open.
“Do they always argue like that?” Michael asked himself aloud.
“Actually they do.” answered Darien.
Michael looked up at Darien. “You know them?”
“Yeah, you see the blond over there, the one yelling at the top of her lungs?”
“You mean the one with the meatballs in her hair?”
“Yeah, she’s my girlfriend.”
“Really? The one with the blue hair is my girlfriend.”
The Ref. was about to signal for the fighters to begin their match when Michael interrupted. “Hold on!” said Michael motioning for the Ref. to stop. “How about we call it a draw. I don’t think its going to be good for either of us if he loses.” Michael pointed to Ami and Serena.
“If you think your boy friend is going to beat Darien then you are dead wrong!” argued Serena.
“Michael can beat him with one hand tied behind his back!” Ami disputed.
“How can you think that scrawny little boy will beat Darien.”
“Michael is not scrawny or a little boy, he’s twice as strong as Darien and his muscles are just as big!”
“Darien is stronger and his muscles are huge. Michael is going to lose!”
“Michael has been training in Martial Arts since he could walk, he’ll mop the floor with Darien!”
“Yeah you just keep thinking that while your blue haired boyfriend is laying in the hospital.”
“And I hope you still like Darien when your watching them carry him off to the emergency room!”
“Oh Yeah!”
“Yeah!”
The girls were face to face growling at each other. Suddenly they turned toward the ring and started yelling. To their surprise Darien and Michael were shaking hands confirming a draw.
Later that day the group gathered at the Ice Cream Shop to celebrate. Well some were celebrating: Darien, Renee, Lita, and Ami were celebrating while Rae, Serena, and Mina were grilling Michael. Rae, Mina, and Serena starred at him in amazement at some of the things he said. They had been going for a straight hour and by this time Michael was sure he was going to have to explain every aspect of his life before he could get away.
“So you’ve really lived all over the world?” asked Rae.
“Yes. My parents thought that it was important that I experience different cultures and people so they sent me to schools all over the world. My mother and I would stay in one place for one of its school terms and return home for summer, holidays, and long weekends.” Said Michael.
“And you speak 12 languages?” asked Mina.
“And you know how to cook and bake?” asked Serena
“And you write poetry?” asked Rae
“Yes I do all of those things.” said Michael as he licked his ice cream.
“AND TO TOP IT OFF YOUR RICH!!!” yelled all three girls.
Michael and Ami both jumped at the shock of their friends screaming in their faces.
“Wow Michael, your rich?” asked Renee.
He smiled at her. “Well yes I guess I am Renee. I own several companies that my parents started. I do have a lot of money… but I also have a beautiful girlfriend and six brand new friends which makes me very wealthy.” An alarm went off on his watch. “Wow, look at the time. I have to run! I hope to see you all soon.” Michael kissed Ami on the cheek and took off.
“Ohhhhh. Ami!” the trio chimed once more.
New Enemies: Campaign of Pride
Since Darien had a report to finish he decided to head home. The girls relocated to the temple to have a meeting. There they learned their new command phrases and discussed the previous night’s events. Luna and Artimis explained to them that it was Queen Serenity who united the planets of their solar system but that it was King Orion who united entire galaxies and bestowed upon planets the powers of the Sailor Scouts. Naturally Serena, who before this believed she was the highest rank in the universal hierarchy, was a little upset. The group talked until sunset learning about their new powers and discussing whom their new allies might be… but they weren’t alone. Sitting in a tree overlooking the temple was Valoryia.
She had been watching since they arrived but only watching. She did not listen or read their lips, which she was trained to do. She watched and waited until the sun was about to set before she contacted OriNight.
She closed her eyes and spoke with her mind. “They have all gathered my love. May I begin.”
“Yes my dear. Find two suitable humans and bring them to the chosen battleground. I will draw out the Scouts.”
Valoryia opened her eyes and disappeared. She reappeared above a crowded street on the other side of the city. She gazed downward and spotted her prey. A young couple, probably lawyers or something to that effect because each was wearing a business suit.
“Perfect.” she said to herself. She disappeared and reappeared behind them grabbing each around the waist and disappearing again. Needless to say, no one noticed.
Just as the sun had fully set OriNight appeared at an old warehouse. “Time to begin.” Back at the Temple the Scouts shot to their feet. Each was looking in a different direction.
“Luna what the hell is that!” asked Artimis.
“I have no idea but I know its evil!” she replied.
“Enough said, lets track it down!” yelled Rae.
The Scouts took off in the direction of the energy. Honestly OriNight could have simply transported them to where he wanted but he wanted to test them. He knew Sailor Scouts were naturally athletic and in some cases powerful even without transforming. But he knew these girls had grown up in peace and were not the warriors of legend… at least not before last night. With their new powers they could prove challenging.
OriNight sat on the roof of the warehouse as his four associates hovered around in the air. He wore a white mask that covered only the right side of his face, his short black hair as dark as space itself hung down as he starred at the ground awaiting his opponents. The black vest he wore seemed to almost disappear into the darkness of the night sky. His gray pants and black wing-tip shoes ended the outfit. Each of the girls wanted to know what he was thinking but knew never to disturb him when he was preparing for a battle. Even without looking at him they knew he was focused and that he would make short work of the Sailor Scouts.
Masjore was dressed in a pink tee shirt and green overalls. The emblem on the bib was a rainbow… not exactly a warrior’s armor. Galey wore a black cocktail dress with matching pumps. Valoryia was dressed to kill in a strapless red dress that slit down both sides. The entire dress was trimmed in gold. Kyori was dressed in a blue tube top and a black skirt that barely covered her red panties.
Kyori and Valoryia were giving their clothes a work out, as their DD sized breasts seemed to erupt from their outfits. It was amazing that Galey could even find a dress to cover her EE breasts, but as usual she was at the peek of fashion for the evening. Masjore wore a rather small size B… one of the reasons for her outfit. None of the four beauties was dressed for battle. They believed OriNight would easily finish these Earth-born Scouts.
Kyori was at her usual position, at OriNight’s side… but she was weary to keep her distance. In a good mood or not he would thrash anyone that disturbed his meditation.
Valoryia looked to the ground at her “guests”. OriNight had modified them to fit his purpose and was betting that the Scouts would push themselves to their limits to save them. Less than fifteen minutes ago both of these innocents were adults in their mid twenties on their way to one of their homes for a night of passionate, unbridled love. No longer, because of a strange twist of fate they were brought before a man with powers of an unbelievable magnitude. One power in particular, that could devastate the mightiest of creatures…the power to control time. Yes mere minutes ago these prisoners were fully-grown adults but now they lay wrapped in their oversized clothing, sleeping soundly, and sucking their thumbs like the children they had become. Valoryia sneered at them and wondered why, with all his power and skills, OriNight used his ability to manipulate time so much.
“They have arrived.” OriNight said. His gaze never left the ground.
The girls came around a corner and were face to face with the energy they were tracking. The power they had sensed disappeared and OriNight looked upon them.
“Greetings. I expected you here four minutes sooner.” OriNight stood. “I am called OriNight and I expected to be greeting the Sailor Scouts, not a group of teenyboppers. But since you didn’t bother to change I will allow you the chance to do so now before I destroy you. And if you delay, they will die.” he said pointing to two sleeping children draped in business suits.
The Scouts looked at the tiny bodies of OriNight’s victims and became infuriated. “If you think your going to beat us you had better think again!” shouted Rae.
“Time to show him what you’re made of!” yelled Luna.
“Right! Lets…” an energy bolt cut Lita off as it singed the ground next to the young girl.
“I said now.” OriNight stated in a demanding tone.
“Moon Crystal Power!”
“Mini Crystal Power!”
“Mercury Dream Power!”
“Venus Dream Power!”
“Mars Dream Power!”
“Jupiter Dream Power!”
Each of the girls transformed. Serena and Renee had drawn their powers from the Millennium Silver Crystal and their new lockets. The Planet Scouts had drawn theirs from the cores of their worlds and were over flowing with power.
“So you think you can harm innocent children?” said Sailor Mars.
“Steal them from their parents in the dead of night?” said Venus.
“Well think again!” said Jupiter and Mercury.
“I am Sail…” An energy beam exploded in front of the Scouts creating a crater.
“I believe that I made it clear that I know who you are! Now if there aren’t anymore delays we shall begin our glorious battle to the death!”
“That’s it? You just want to kill us? Don’t you have some grand scheme to conquer the planet?” asked Mars.
“Who would want to rule this dismal little, rock? I’m just going to kill you, steal your powers, and plunge this third rate excuse for an asteroid into chaos for the fun of it. No weapons, or outside interference. Agreed?
“Fine by us, we out number you 6 to 5!” yelled Jupiter.
“Actually you outnumber me 6 to 1. My Dark Angels will not interfere. Valoryia.” Valoryia dropped to the ground, grabbed the two toddlers by their ankles, and held them up. “If any one tries to escape the youngsters will die.”
“LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!” yelled Kyori.
OriNight jumped from the roof and landed about 20 yards from the Scouts. He held out his right hand and shot a force wave at them. All but Jupiter and Mars were knocked backwards to the ground. The two standing Scouts prepared to fight.
“Looks like I’ve got two volunteers to die first!” said OriNight.
“Hey, lets show him what our knew powers can do! Are you with me Mars?!” yelled Jupiter.
“Yeah! This guy is toast! Mars Nova Fire…” Mars extended her arms and pressed the heels of her hands together. “Ignite!!!” A huge fireball flew from her hands throwing her backwards. OriNight raised his right hand and brought it down fast. The fireball split in two and flew to either side hitting the ground.
With fiery explosions behind him, OriNight examined his hand. “That was pathetic I don’t even have a burn mark. And she skidded across the ground.” he thought.
He didn’t notice Jupiter preparing to attack. She crossed her arms and the antenna on her tiara extended. Lightning struck the palms of her hands and she extended her arms to her sides. OriNight looked up.
“Jupiter Thunder Bomb Explode!!!” yelled Jupiter. She slammed her hands together and out came a ball of surging white energy. She too was knocked back and skidded across the ground.
The smile left OriNight’s face as he stepped calmly to his left and let the energy pass. It exploded behind him and created a huge crater. “I suspected that they would not be use to their powers, but not like this. They should have become stronger when they activated their keys. Unless…” thought OriNight.
By now all the Scouts were on their feet and ready for action. Mercury activated her VR Visor to try and annualize their adversary. The others had a different approach.
“My turn. Venus Heart Slash!” She put both her hands to her lips and flung them out to her sides as if blowing a kiss. A yellow heart surged forth with 5-foot blades extending from each side. The attack was swifter than the two previous so when OriNight flipped over it and landed, Venus hit the ground.
“Sailor Moon, Mini Moon don’t use your new attacks!” warned Mercury. It was too late, they were already attacking.
Sailor Moon had drawn her new scepter and Mini Moon had both hands touching her tiara. Sailor Moon’s scepter had a long golden shaft and a silver crescent moon at the end. The crescent moon held a pink crystal sphere.
“Now Mini Moon! Moon Scepter, Lunar Flash!”
“Mini Heart Magic.”
The pink crystal on Serena’s Scepter began to glow and so did Renee’s tiara. As Serena pointed her Scepter towards there target a blast of silver and pink energy surged from it sending her flying backwards. A stream of pink hearts shot from the Renee’s tiara.
“What is this supposed to be?” said OriNight as he leaped to the left to avoid Serena’s attack and deflected Renee’s with a wave of his hand. “I came here for a battle not a side show. The only one of you who has managed to even remain standing after an attack is the child!” he yelled looking dead at Renee. “WELL THIS ENDS NOW!!!!!!” With that he opened his hand and forged an energy ball in his palm. Lightning sprang from the ball violently and shattered the ground around him.
“Shine Aqua Illusion!!!” OriNight looked, as a wave of frozen energy was about to engulf him. He through the unfinished energy ball into the wave destroying it. The girls rallied around Ami and prepared for their next offensive move, The Sailor Planet Attack.
“That was her old attack. So she realized that their new powers were too much to handle. She may prove a worthy opponent after all… with time they all could… with time… time! Of course! Perhaps these girls need to get in touch with their inner children!” thought OriNight. The girls had formed their circle and Artimis and Luna had taken cover.
“Not yet girls… its time for a new game.” said OriNight as he slammed his fist against the ground sending shock wave at the girls. When it hit, the ground under the girls erupted with shards of stone. The circle was broken and the girls were thrown to the wayside. “I think its time we had a little fun girls! How about we toy with them” thought OriNight.
The four girls hovering above looked at OriNight. “What do you have in mind Ory?” thought Galey.
“Watch.” he replied silently. “This begins my Campaign of Pride.” OriNight levitated inches from the ground and stared at each scout finally stopping at Mars. Focusing his mind he spoke to her telepathically. “Rae! Rae! Are you truly this weak? Serena’s attack was much stronger than yours. No wonder she leads the Scouts while you, one who possesses magical power and fighting skills, kneels before her!”
Sailor Mars had gotten to her knees. She placed her hands to her head when she heard the voice within. She shook her head violently as the voice grew louder, taunting her with thoughts of inferiority. Inferiority to Serena of all people.
“NO!!!! YOU WANT TO SEE HOW STRONG I AM?” yelled Mars. The other Scouts looked as Mars took off towards OriNight.
“Rae come back!” yelled the other Scouts.
“Kyori with me. The rest of you keep the others busy.” said OriNight. He began flying backward towards the warehouse he had perched on before. He turned slightly and waved his hand at the door. It flung open and he disappeared into the shadows. Kyori landed on the ground and jumped into the building after him. Seconds later Rae entered the building. The Scouts tried to follow but were stopped by Galey when she sliced the ground in front of them with an energy blast. Masjore slammed the warehouse door then jumped in front of them, and opened fire with a barrage of lasers.
Mars reached what appeared to be the center of the warehouse. It was pitch black, her eyes were useless, so she relied on her ability to sense energy. She was going to nail this guy and end this fight. All the scouts had this ability because of training but hers was natural. Where the others had to concentrate and strain, she merely did it without effort. She was the one who tracked down their enemies and she was determined to prove to these voices that she was the best. Mars began to fell for energy. The building felt empty but she knew he was there and that she would find him.
“Are you looking for me Mars?” said OriNight from the shadows.
Mars was startled and jumped back looking for him.
“Its to dark to look for me, so you must be trying to sense me.” She kept trying to sense his position. “Having trouble? Unless I let you find me you won’t. Truly you don’t want to find me.”
Mars shook her head. “I’m going to find you and then I’m going to burn you.”
“You want to feel my power Mars? I’m warning you, I’m far too much for a little girl like you to handle.” he warned as she continued to search for him. “Fine hers a taste of my power, just enough too break your confidence.”
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!” screamed Mars as she grabbed the sides of her head in pain.
“Told you, you didn’t want to find me.”
“AAAAHHHH!” Mars had fallen to her knees. She was oblivious to her own screams. All she could here was OriNight’s voice. She was oblivious to the blood running from her ears and the bloody tears running down her face, all she felt was pain. OriNight materialized beside her and knelt down.
“My power hurts doesn’t it Mars?”
“AAAHHH!!!!”
“I’ll take your screams as a yes. Why don’t you call your friends for help? They’re right outside. Why don’t you call Serena?”
“NNNOOOOO!!!”
“Your pride is your weakness Mars. I haven’t even attacked you and already your uniform is blood soaked. Just call out for help and I will end this. You’re only sensing an iota of my power Mars. Just call for help and it will end.”
“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!” Mars continued screaming.
“Fine Mars you leave me no choice. Your pride did this to you so don’t blame me. Kyori come here.”
Kyori appeared behind OriNight. “Yes, OriNight.”
Mars’s screams became whimpers as OriNight stood. He looked upon her and sighed. “Now that you realize my power is to much for you to handle I have blocked it from you once again. Don’t worry Mars. Kyori and I will make it all better. Kyori, I believe Sailor Mars could use your assistance… perhaps something to drink.” said OriNight as he walked away from both girls.
“Yes, I believe she could.” Kyori knelt down to Mars, who was crying uncontrollably. She cradled Mars in her arms as she sat on the floor and lifted her head to her right breast. She peeled down her tube-top and positioned the nipple of her breast to Mars’s mouth. A pink aura engulfed Mars and she started to suck on Kyori’s breast uncontrollably. “Good girl… it will all be better soon.”
Mars was too weak to protest. With every passing second that she nursed she was getting smaller. Mars’ clothes began to shift on her body. Her long legs started to retreat into her skirt and her shoes sat solitary on the floor. Her long black hair grew back into her head and her flat stomach began to round out. Finally her already petite breasts began to shrink into the cups of her bra. Slowly they vanished from her chest leaving only baby fat. Mars was sleeping now, engulfed in her clothes, and the blood on her face was gone. “Now that wasn’t so bad, was it?” said Kyori as she popped her nipple from Mars’s tiny mouth. She then laid her back on the floor, stood, and turned to OriNight. Mars appeared to be about five years old. The makeup on her face made her look like she had gotten into her mother’s makeup kit.
“What is going on OriNight? You could have done that… besides we had planned on killing them.” argued Kyori.
“Quit! I’m concentrating. Forgive me my angel I didn’t mean to yell at you but even though I can bend time with the wave of my hand, reality is a different matter.” he said never turning around to face her.
“Bend reality? Is such a thing even possible?” said Kyori as she stepped toward OriNight.
“Yes but it takes massive amounts of energy for the scale we need, energy that I don’t have… yet. They wanted a scheme then I will give them a scheme. I will get the fight I came here for by regressing each of them back to childhood so that they will learn to use reduced versions of their powers faster. To add insult to injury I will shift reality so that everyone connected to them, except the other Scouts and Tuxedo Mask, thinks of them as a child. Once they can control their powers I will turn them back and destroy them in battle.” As he spoke he clenched his right fist.
“But you just said you didn’t have the energy to do that.”
“Yet. I don’t have it yet. My full power is only enough to focus on one scout at a time, so we will have to bide our time. When I do this I will be defenseless for a few hours, by noon most of my power will be restored but in order for me to maintain the shift in reality I will need large amounts of energy gathered throughout the day.” OriNight opened his hand to reveal a small ring of white energy. He stared at it as if pondering a mystery.
“The other girls and I will gather the energy you need my love.” said Kyori.
“Kyori, one more thing. We will use this planet to forge the sword.” An evil smile came over OriNight’s face and a look of fear over Kyori’s. “They wanted a scheme! Well now they will have one. Their destruction will lead to my ascension. Focusing on bending this world’s reality has proven to me that it holds the key to the sword’s creation. ULTIMATE POWER WILL BE MINE!!!!!!” yelled OriNight as he raised his hand to the air.
Mars immediately began to violently glow with white energy. Then as if triggered by the energy radiating from Sailor Mars the ring in OriNight’s hand exploded into a shock wave and time itself stopped in its wake. The shock wave rolled over all of Tokyo leaving a white radiance on everything it touched. Within seconds the shock wave disappeared and the radiance vanished. OriNight fell face first to the floor. Kyori walked over and checked to see if he was still alive. He was unconscious and barely hanging onto life.
“Well, I guess we will be on this planet longer than I thought.” said Kyori. She then looked over at Sailor Mars. “We may need to buy some diapers if this becomes a trend.” she said as she knelt down to OriNight and put her hand on his back. They vanished into the darkness.
Outside Masjore was still bombarding the Scouts with energy beams. Kyori contacted the girls and told them to retreat.
“Hey Scouts, catch!” yelled Valoryia as she tossed the children to the ground. The three girls vanished into the night.
Venus and Jupiter caught them. Immediately the toddlers became kids, then teens, and then young adults. The girls were amazed.
“Mercury… can you… explain that?” asked Venus as she dropped the young woman.
“My visor was damaged and I don’t have my data computer, but if I had to render a guess I would say that these are their original forms since the clothes they’re wearing now look more appropriate.” said Mercury as she examined both bodies.
“Aren’t we forgetting about Mars?” asked Artimis.
Part Two:
Long Night
The Dark Prince Rests
OriNight was levitating his body vertical about ten feet off the ground, as streams of energy swirled around him. Bending reality had drained him and Kyori had taken him home to rest. They had only been there for three minutes before the other girls arrived.
Galey looked up to see OriNight floating helplessly. “What the… OriNight!”
All three girls began to fly towards him but were cut off by Kyori. “Don’t, if you interrupt the energy flow you will ruin his plan. In a few minutes you can tend to him as you like, but for now let him work his magic on Tokyo.” ordered Kyori.
“What’s going on Kyori? Ory is too strong to have been hurt by one of those overgrown toddlers!” said Valoryia.
“Very interesting that you say that Valoryia. He’s not hurt, in fact he did this to himself. Right now all you need to know is that we need to gather energy.” said Kyori. “Since we came here OriNight has been loosing strength for some reason and now he does this. I hope he knows what he is doing.” she thought to herself.
“Kyori, tell us what happened while we held the Scouts at bay.” said Masjore.
“Remember how when we scanned the planet for power sources, OriNight said we couldn’t stay long?” asked Kyori.
“Yes there weren’t any power sources that OriNight wanted for his collection of energies other then the Scouts. But what does that have to do with this?” replied Galey.
“Possibly everything. Tonight he did something to Sailor Mars that is going to change our entire mission…”
Second Childhood Begins
The Scouts found Mars sleeping in the center of the warehouse. They could tell it was her because of her costume, which now fit her regressed form. In truth she looked like a miniature version of herself. The only differences in her form, besides the lose of height, were the addition of baby-fat and lose of her already small breasts.
The girls carried her back to Ami’s house to be examined. Mars slept the entire way there in Lita’s arms. The girls had all transformed back to normal except for Mars because they weren’t sure if her clothes would fit. Though the girls were curious as to what had happened to their friend and how they could help Mina, Serena, and Renee had curfews since they had school in the morning. They would have to leave soon.
It was almost 9 p.m. when they finally reached Ami’s house. Her mom was gone for the next two weeks so they were free to talk about their business as Sailor Scouts. Ami got her Data Computer from her room and they moved into the living room. Lita laid Mars down on the love seat between her and Ami. Mina and Artimis sat in the chair across the coffee table. Renee and Luna got comfortable on the couch and Serena sat on the couch next to the phone so she could call Darien.
Ami began to scan her and compare the results to the hair samples that she had taken from OriNight’s captives.
“So should we wake her?” asked Mina.
“Let her sleep until Ami is done.” said Luna.
“Actually Luna I’m finished.” replied Ami as she closed her computer. “We should wake her and let her adjust to her situation… she may be this way for quite a while.”
“Well I called Darien and he’s going to give us a ride home Mina.” said Serena.
“Ami, is Rae going to be all right?” asked Renee.
“I honestly can’t say Renee but the next few minutes may fill us in on quite a few things. I’m going to wake her up now so everyone relax and try not to upset her.”
With that Ami nudged Rae on the shoulder until she started to stir. Rae slowly awoke she rubbed her eyes and then sat up. She looked around the room as she yawned. Everything seemed off somehow to her. The room she was in was all, wrong. Everything was bigger than it should have been and her friends looked like giants. Suddenly something in the back of her mind clicked.
“AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” she screamed. Her now high pitched voice through Serena off and she to began to scream.
“Serena stop!” yelled Luna. Serena stopped screaming.
“Rae calm down! It’s me Ami! Just calm down!” Ami said as she kneeled down in front of Rae putting her hands on Rae’s shoulders.
“YOU CALM DOWN! YOU AREN’T FOUR YEARS OLD!” yelled Rae. She continued to struggle and scream for another twenty minutes.
The girls gave her room to react in the way she had chosen. Rae finally broke down in tears. Serena ran over and tried to comfort her. She held her arms out to Rae.
“It’s OK Rae, you’re going to be…”
“DON’T TOUCH ME! DON’T TOUCH ME! KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF SERENA!”
“But Rae?”
“GET AWAY FROM ME! GET AWAY!”
Mina came up behind Serena and pulled her away. “Darien is outside. Besides I think Ami and Lita can handle this.”
Serena, Mina, and Renee all left and went home. Alone in Ami’s living room Rae managed to calm down. Rae cried for another half-hour. She sat there alone, still transformed, but it was clear to her that she was now just a shadow of what Rae had been and no longer Sailor Mars. Sailor Mars was the Scout of War and feared by evil, Rae or rather Little Rae was a joke… a failure in battle… a child.
Ami and Lita sat drinking soda in the kitchen. It was clear that Lita would be spending the night which was fine because she was a frequent guest… she even had some of her own clothes in Ami’s closet for emergency visits. Rae was a different case. Chad and her Grandfather were gone on a ‘Spiritual Journey’ (Grandpa insisted on going to the beach for a week) so Rae could stay over without question. The problem was mainly what to do in the morning.
“Well we could miss school and stay here with her.” said Lita.
“We can’t. We have three tests tomorrow.” said Ami.
“We could leave her here then.” said Lita as she got up from the table to get a cake from the fridge.
“That’s not a possibility either. We don’t know how much this effects her. She may have been mentally regressed as well, you saw how she reacted to Serena.”
“I haven’t been mentally regressed.” Ami and Lita looked toward the entrance of the kitchen to see Mars walking in. Lita sat the cake on the table and sat down. Mars maid her way to the table and tried to climb into a chair. Mars kicked the chair when she had trouble climbing into it. Ami got up, helped her into the seat, and sat back down.
“Thanks Ami.” said Mars. She turned towards the table and her chin just cleared the edge.
Lita got a phone book and offered it to Rae. She reluctantly accepted and stood in the chair as Lita positioned it. Mars sat in the chair and looked around. She saw the cake in front of her and her stomach growled.
“Can I have something to eat?” asked Mars.
“Sure.” said Ami as she walked over to the cabinet to get some plates.
Lita began cutting the cake. “You know, you can transform back. Artimis said that your normal clothes probably changed just like your outfit.”
“At least I can do that!” said Mars as she looked down at her chair. She held her hand in the air and her uniform turned solid red. Her uniform unraveled into her hand like a ribbon and became The Key of Mars, which vanished into thin air.
Rae looked at her clothes. They were a smaller version of her temple outfit, but something felt different. Rae sat still for a moment unable to figure out what was wrong. Suddenly she grabbed her collar and looked down at her chest. “MY BRA IS GONE. THAT BASTARD STOLE MY BRA!” she yelled.
Lita and Ami both looked at her.
“He didn’t steal it Rae. It’s gone because you don’t need it. Luna told us it would probably not materialize.” said Ami as she placed two plates on the table. She walked towards the stove with another.
“Sorry I forgot to tell you.” said Lita smiling. She picked up the plates and began to serve the cake. She had cut three pieces and placed a piece on each of the two plates in front of her. She then placed one at Ami’s place and one in front of herself.
Rae looked as Lita took a fork and started eating her cake. Her stomach growled again and she looked at Ami who was busy at the stove.
“Lita, you forgot my piece.” said Rae.
“No I didn’t.” said Lita as she pointed to remaining cake on the table. “I cut you a piece.”
“Well hand it to me I’m hungry.”
Just then Ami came over and set a plate and fork down in front of Rae. The plate had a piece of roast beef, string beans, and carrots on it.
“What’s this?” said Rae as she starred at Ami.
“It’s your dinner. You said you were hungry.” said Ami. Ami walked back to the kitchen.
“Thanks Ami, but I just wanted some cake.” said Rae.
“And you can have it after you eat. And you have to eat all your vegetables.” said Lita.
“I just said I wasn’t mentally regressed so stop treating me like a kid!” yelled Rae as she banged the table with her small fist.
“Calm down Rae we aren’t treating you like a kid. It’s a rule that Ami’s mom has; before you eat desert you have to eat dinner.” said Lita
For any normal person this would be an excuse to tease her, but knowing that Ami followed the rules her mother set even when she was away, Rae decided to apologize. “Oh… well…I…I” stuttered Rae.
“It’s OK. We know that you’ve had a hard night.” said Ami as she set a glass of milk down next to Rae.
Rae looked at the glass and then at Ami as she sipped some of her soda. She then picked up the glass and drank some of the milk. Lita and Ami noticed as a little ran down her chin. Before wiping away her mustache she smiled at Ami. It was the first time she had smiled that night.
Night of the Little Rae
10:50 p.m.
Rae finished her dinner and finally got to have her cake. She only ate two bites before she was too full to eat any more. She explained to them what had happened in the warehouse and that she was regressed by the ‘pink haired lady’. She left out the way she was regressed and she couldn’t remember how she was beaten. Everything after that was a total blank. She also explained that she knew she was four because that was the year that she lost both of her front top teeth, which were now missing.
Rae had gotten tired right after she finished eating so Ami lead her to the guestroom. Not having anything in her size to wear Ami took her to get a tee shirt from her dresser.
When they entered Ami’s room Rae went straight to the dresser and got a tee shirt.
She noticed one of Ami’s bras, a training bra like hers. Both the girls were going to be 15 soon but neither had started to develop until
