Boy Genius, Chapter 0ne By Sharon Williams In her large bed, Tanya Cambridge hugs her plush pillow as she smiled sleepily at the dream she was having. The door bedroom slowly creaks open, and Marco calmly walks into the dark room. He grabs the curtains ends at the window in his mouth, then pulls it back to let in the early morning Tokyo sun. He jumped up on the bed, noticing with annoyance that the sun on Tanya's face still didn't wake her up. "Oh Tanya. Time to get up." he said softly in her ear. Tanya, still sleeping, only turned away from him, then continued clucthing her pillow. "O.K.! You asked for it! WAAAAAKE UUP!" yelled Marco in her ear, then taking the sheets in his mouth, jumping of the bed. Tanya woke and jumped up with a startled scream, then fell sprawling on the floor in her small white lace nightgown. She looked wildy around, expecting danger, but only saw her guardian dog and mentor, smiling his version of a wicked dog smile. "OHHH! Why did you have to go do THAT for!?" yelled Tanya, rubbing her sore behind. She gave Marco a look that could kill. "I was dreaming about Yaten Kou, and he was just about to give me a nice ki...." "Come on! He doesn't even know you exist! Now, we don't have much time! Either you get up, and hurry your butt to school, or face another day of DETENTION!" said Marco. He gave Tanya a no nonsense look, then turned to the clock on her dresser, "It's already 8:20, so you better move it! "O.K., O.K.!!" Tanya yawned sleepily. She got up off the floor, then quickly grabbed a towel, heading for the bathroom. "What's with you anyway? Did you and Luna get into another fight?" "Well, actually, me and luna made up, but....NEVERMIND! Just get ready!" said Marco. He slipped out of the bedroom door, and headed downstairs. ******Juuban High School School Yard*** "OH MAN!" Tanya sighed, looking at the math test sheet she just got back before lunch period. On top of it was a big red 45%. "My dad's going to flip when he comes home next week and sees this!" She sadly put the crumpled test in her backpack, then went walking into the yard, where the other students were having lunch. She saw Makoto waving to her and calling her name from a green bench not too far away from her. Tanya waved back and ran over to join the girls at the bench. "OHAIYO EVERYONE!" said Tanya cheerfully, not wanting them to know that she was upset about failing her math test. Minako could only smile and wave back, her mouth stuffed with Makoto's food. Ami nodded and went back to her reading. Usagi was too busy wolfing down the rice-candies Makoto reluctantly gave her. "Hi Tanya-chan! How are you holding up by yourself since Veronica left two weeks ago?" said Makoto. She moved over a little on the bench to allow room for Tanya to sit down. "Hey, it's no big deal! I'm....used to being alone by now." Tanya said. She reached over, and took a piece of sushi from Makoto's basket. She dropped it in her mouth, savoring the spicy taste. "This is really good! You have to teach me to make these!" Makoto smiled at that, then gave Tanya a small hug, assuring her that she would be glad to teach her. "AND YOU HAVE TO TEACH US TOO!" shouted Minako and Usagi. Tanya giggled, and looked over at Ami. "Hey Brainiac! What are you reading there!" She playfully tried to grab the large paper Ami was reading, but she anticipated this, and held fast to it. Tanya let go before it tore. "It's a newsletter from our old Junior high school" Ami said, looking worried. "There's a boy there by the name of Kijuro Sato, and he just made the highest IQ mark at 310! This doesn't sound good!" Ami folded the paper back up, then slamming it on the table. "Oh come on Ami-chan! He's probably only like...12 or something! Don't sweat it. I bet he hasn't even care about the IQ testing and who ranks what!" said Makoto. She reached over and took up the newsletter, reading it for herself. When she read the part of the boy saying he is planning to go to Yale University, she looked at Ami with embarrassment. "GOMEN!! I may be wrong!" she said. "Cheer up Ami! You'll always be the Braingirl here!" shouted Tanya, Usagi, and Minako together. They stared at each other, then started giggling at what just happened. "Well, hello there Bunnyface!" said a cool masculine voice. The girls looked up to see Seiya Kou, joined by Taiki, and Yaten Kou standing right in front of them. Seiya was looking straight at Usagi intensely. "I hope I haven't interrupted anything! I would like to be in the joke too!" he said. "Ummm, no!" said Usagi, irritated at the new name Seiya came up with. "as if Odango Atama wasn't bad enough, now it's BUNNYFACE!" she thought. The school bell just rang then, and the girls got up to return to class. Seiya held on to Usagi's hand. "Wait! I have something to give you." He pulled out a hand from behind his back, producing a rose. "I heard that you were pretty broken up about your...friend.... Momaru Chiba. Here's a little something to show I care." The girls stared at wonder at the rose, then looked to Usagi. "OH!! Umm, Thank you very much Seiya! I appreciate it! AHH.....gotta go!" said Usagi nervously, then rushed past the everyone into the school building, nearly falling flat on her face on the way. "See you girls around! You can count on it!" said Yaten, winking at them, then walking away with a triumphant look. "See you later at the Computer Club?" said Taiki, looking at Ami. Ami nodded, then stood transfixed as she watched them walk away. "Marco's right! He doesn't even know I'm alive!" thought Tanya sadly. She then followed Ami to science class. *****Shadow Galactica** "Yes, Master! I know exactly what to do now!!" said Sailor Galaxia, deep in a trance while communicating with Chaos through her mind. If we can find HIM, then we can destroy Crystal Tokyo forever!! It will be done!" Her eyes snapped open, and she searched around her throne room. "TIN-NYANKO!! I SUMMON YOU!" she screamed in her deep throated voice. A flash of lightning appeared, then Sailor Tin-Nyanko appeared in her full suit, complete with cat hairstyle and cat-paw weapon. She stood in full attention in front of Galaxia. "Meeeow!! What can I do for you , Galaxia-Sama! Meeeow!" she said. "I want you to find someone with one of the most POWERFUL starseed our master has just found, and bring him to me!" said Sailor Galaxia evilly, rubbing her hands in greed, her eyes shining as red as the jewel on her crown. "At once Mistress! Meeeow!!" ******Ten'ou Mansion "Hello? Anyone home!!" yelled Haruka as she walked into the spaceous den. "Over here! In the kitchen!" yelled back Michiru. Haruka walked in, and gratefully accepted the drink Michiru gave her. "Well, how was racing today?" asked Michiru, after giving Haruka a quick peck on the cheek. "It was fine! I did past 120 mph for the third time today! I'm very lucky Mugen Gakuen High School has decided to sponsor me in the race coming up! Where's Hotaru!" she asked, looking around. "She's still in her room, finishing up her homework. It should take her a while." Michiru said, looking up at the taller blond girl. "Good! That leaves more time for us!" Haruka said, putting her arms around the green-haired girl's shoulder. Michiru giggled. Suddenly, a bright light appeared, nearly blinding them, then got more and more dimmer as a tall senshi with a long staff shaped like a key stepped out of the vortex. "I'm sorry to interrupt this moment, but there is a grave matter we must see to." said Sailor Pluto in her typical serious voice. She gave the girls a cool glance from her dark eyes. "Setsuna!It's been so long!" said Michiru, going over, and giving the mysterious senshi of time and space hug. Michiru and Harukas gave her a worried look. "What's wrong Pluto? Is....is..Chibi-usa in trouble in Crystal Tokyo?" asked Haruka. "SETSUNA-MAMA!" yelled Hotaru from the kitchen. She ran over and gave Pluto a big hug, kissing her when she was done. Sailor Pluto gently patted her on the head. "No, Small-Lady is fine, as well as Neo-Serenity and Endymion, and her new friend Diana." said Pluto quietly. "But I'm afraid that won't be for long. There is a horrendous rift, and a probability distortion in the time-stream, and it has to do with one of the most powerful men in Crystal Tokyo, who made a good future for himself today, in Usagi's old Junior high school. I can't tell you much, but you must lieten to me if all is to be well!" ....To be continued. Boy Genius, Chapter 2, By Sharon Williams *****Juuban Middle School Recess Yard**** "Can someone PLEASE explain to me again what we are doing here so early on a Saturday morning!" grumbled Usagi. She yawned again, and started rubbing her eyes in a exaggerated gesture, then laid her head on Rei's shoulder, closing her eyes. "Can it Usagi! You know very well what we are doing here!" said Rei. She roughly pushed Usagi off her shoulder. "Honestly Usagi! Sometimes I wish you would just grow up!" "Hey guys, knock it off!" said Tanya said. She looked at Usagi and gave her a annoyed stare. "Ami asked us to come with her when she goes to meet Kijuro. She found out yesterday after school that he comes here on Saturday morings to study." She looked at Usagi with a harder stare. "And remember that Luna and Artermis at the Command Center said that there was something very powerful emanating from him." "That's right." said Makoto, standing between Ami and Minako. "There's a chance that Sailor Galaxia witch might target him for something, and that's why we are here! This is also an investigation, REMEMBER USAGI!" Usagi sighed, then nodded. "Yeah, yeah! I remember now!" Slowly, the girls where heading for the main entrance to the library building where they knew there where many students there preparing for the entrance exams to prestigious high schools. The outside was almost deserted becaof the early morning hour. "You know Usagi-chan, maybe you should stop reading those manga, and finally get to bed at a decent time. Say like, 10:00?" joked Minako. The rest of the girls groaned, grabbed her throat and fell to the floor in a theatrical display of chocking, "AKK!!! AKK!!! HELP!! MINAKO-CHAN'S JOKES ARE KILLING ME!!" "Ha-Ha. Very funny Minako-chan!" said Usagi seriously, while the other girls where laughing hard. The door to the library suddenly swung open, and a midium height, Japanese boy of about 13 years old holding a stack of books walked out of the door and prceeded down the steps towards the girls. Ami suddenly stopped laughing. "Alright everyone! There he is! Time for me to get some dirt onthis guy!"Ami said. She turned to her friends. "I don't want to overwhelm him or anything, so I think you guys should stay here for a while I go talk to him first." "Well, if you say so Ami-chan. Good luck, and don't leave anything out on your report back to us!" said Makoto. She winked at Ami as she shyly walked up to the young boy. The boy stopped dead in his tracks as he noticed Ami walking up to him. He looked nervously about him, wonderin g why a pretty, older girl such as this would want with him. "Ummm...Ohaiyo! My name is Ami Mizuno, and I read about your scores yesterday on the IQ test, and I was wondering if I can talk to you for a bit." Ami gave the boy a shy smile, and bowed as a show of respect. The boy seem to relax to this, and gave one of his own smiles. "Hi! I'm Kijuro Sato. Well, I was heading over to the school yard to read a little more. It got too noisy in that library, but...alright." Ami nodded, then proceeded to follow him back to the school yard, and sat with him on one of the benches. When Kijuro looked back and noticed the other girls following them, Ami gave an embarrased look. "Oh!! Gomen! I didn't mean to forget! These are my friends from High School!" Ami introduced him to all of the girls. The boy smiled shyly at them, feeling more lucky in his life to be around so many girls. "Alright. let's get down to business!" said Ami, shooing away at the girls so she can be alone with him. They rolled their eyes, and wnet to another table. "I got a few things I need to talk to you about!" For the next forty minutes or so, Ami and Kijuro talked about their future and what they wanted to be, then asked each other about thier study habits and family. Ami tried to explain the pressures and expectations on High School. After a while, Ami began to soften towards the boy. "WOW!! I never expected anything like that!" said Kijuro in wonder. "There's so many things to prepare for and do. I'm....not sure I know if I can do it!" "Sure you can Kijuro-chan! All you have to do is believe in yourself, and you make it happen and do anything!" said Ami enthusiactically. "You have a great future ahead of you, and you are going to be something REALLY great one day!" The boy smiled, and was about to say something, when suddenly, lightning flashed in the cloudy sky, followed by a louder than normal boom. The lightning flashed again, and this time, it struck right in front of Ami and Kijuro. When the light dissapated, Sailor Tin-Nyanko stood there with an evil smirl on her face. "That's right, no good humans! I am sailor Tin-Nyanko! Meeeow! This boy is a very important part of the future that YOU will not be a part of once I get through with you!" She pointed her cat paw weapon at the the two that now stood in front of her."Get ready to be annialated punks!! Meeeow!" Ami turned quickly to the frightened boy beside her. "Kijuro! RUN!! Get out of here now!!" The boy stared at Ami for a second, then at the strange looking woman. He turned around quickly and bolted away, leaving behind his books. "Not so fast, Mousey-boy!!" smirked Sailor Tin-Nyanko. A smaller version of the lightning bolt she came in shot out of the weapon, and trailed after the running boy. It struck him in the middle of the back, and he went down in a painful grunt. Tin-Nyanko didn't realize that the girls not to far away from her had snapped back to attention. While she was smirking at her victory and Ami's frightend scream, Tanya nodded to Makoto, and the tall girl sneaked behind Tin-Nyanko and karate chopped her in the back of her head. The evil cat senshi went down with a painful yelp. "Just who the HELL are you, and what do you want with him!" yelled out Makoto, anger making her voice rough. Tin-Nyanko got up, grabbed her waepon, and hissed voilently at her. She pointed her weapond menacingly at Makoto. "That's for me to know, and for you to find out, you wench! Meeeow!" She was about to blast her when a heavy book suddenly slammed into her face. She fell to the floor again with a howl. "Good throw Tanya!!" yelled out Minako. Tanya smiled in triumph, and she, Rei, Tanya, and Usagi each picked up a book, ready to throw it at the Tin-Nyanko together. Meanwhile, Ami had gone over to see if the boy was alright. When she was satisfied with his condition, that he was only stunned, she came running back over, and picked up a book too. "OHHHH!! YOU ALL ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!!" screamed the Animate, touching her face to see if there were any permanent marks. "Why don't you go back to your kitty litter, CREEP!!" yelled out Usagi,Rei,and Tanya. Usagi got ready to throw a book at Tin Nyanko, but she never got the chance. The evil senshi raised her hands, "SERVANTS OF GALAXIA-SAMA! AAAAATTAAAACK!!" Immediately, about five of demons emerged form a vortex that suddenly appeared in the now darkened sky. "Alright everyone! Time for some action!" Usagi yelled out. She quickly looked about to see if anyone was out, and when it was clear, she threw her hand up. "MOON ETERNAL, MAKE-UP!" -"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE-UP!" -"VENUS CRYATAL POWER, MAKE-UP!" -"MARS CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE-UP!" -"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE-UP!" -"SIRIUS EMERALD POWER, MAKE-UP!" In a blinding flash of white light that distracted their enemies, the six girls turned into the Sailor Senshi. When it was done, one demon was so angry, that it jumped high into the air, and was about to descend right on top of them. "EVERYONE, LOOK OUT!" yelled out Sailor Jupiter, seeing the demon made of hair first. he jumped right on top of her, amd knocked her to the ground. Sailor Jupiter quickly punched him in the face off her, and got up. She shouted, "JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!" a wreath of electric leaves formed in her right hand, and electrified leaves blew around her. When it was charged high enough, she threw it at the the demon. The demon Sailor Smother screamed, then turned into an electrified pile dust. Just as Jupiter was finshed, Sailor Mars felt her danger sense go off, and she turned around to find another demon sneaking up behind her. the wood demon was about to chop her in the shoulders, but she grabbed his arm, and flipped overend to the ground. When Sailor Branch dared got back up, she was ready for him. "MARS FLAME SNIPER!" she screamed, and was set ablaze by her fire arrow. "Not so tough now!" said Mars and Jupiter together. Meanwhile, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Venus was taunting a demon called Sailor Bricklayer, and when he was about to grab Sailor Mercury, she shouted out, "MERCURY AGUA RHAPSODY!" and dosed him with powerful water energy. When he was soaked, he could barely move because he got so heavy, and Sailor Venus smiled, "Another bites the dust! VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!" The demon was then finished of with a gigantic sized heart made of pure energy. In the background, the scouts heard Sailor Moon and Sailor Sirius shout together, "STARLIGHT HONEY MOON THEREPY KISS!" "SIRIUS KISS OF DEATH CAPTIVATION!", and one particular large demon was struck with Eternal energy, then exploded. Another large one was then wrapped in a black sheet. It started to shrink, then it exploded after a moment, sending fragments of Sailor Giant every where. "Your lousy excuse for animates are defeated! Now what are you going to do?" yelled out Sailor Sirius. She and the rest of the scouts got into a line, and went into thier fighting stance. "FOOLS! That was just a distraction! I got what I want! Meeeow!" She pulled up a stiil unconcious Kijuro Sato by the shirt collar, and laughed. "Nooo!! Kijuro!!" yelled out Sailor Mercury. She was about to rush Sailor Tin-Nyanko when she raised and flicked her hands. Vines started to snake towards the Sailor Scouts. It wrapped around their legs, and traveled up to their arms, holding them fast to the ground. The scaouts then began to scream as the vines began to squeeze and cut of their circulation. To be continued....... Boy Genius, Chapter 3 By Sharon Williams The vines Sailor Tin-Nyanko called mercilessly tied around the six sailor scouts, and each time they struggled against it, the vines would only wrap tighter, causing the girls to scream louder with pain and nearly losing conciousness. The ground in front of Tin-Nyanko where the vines were sprouting out of suddenly split open with a crack, and rising out of it was a nearly seven foot demon made of vines and leaves with slime dripping off. Tin-Nyanko laughed evilly as Sailor Vines began pulling on the leaves, dragging the sailor scouts on the hard ground towards him, all the while growling menacingly. "You all may have defeated Lead-Crow and Aluminum-Siren, but they were dumb, and underestimated you! That is one mistake I will NOT make, meoooow!" Tin Nyanko sneered at them. She turned towards the demon animate, "Take their starseeds and finish them off!" screeched out Sailor Tin-Nyanko. She was about to grab Kijuro by the collar of his shirt and prepare to teleport away, when there was a bright flash of light, and shouting voices. "SERIOUS STAR LAZER!" A razor sharp lazer beam shot at her chest, knocking her painfully to the ground. "STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO! STAR GENTLE UTERUS!" Another couple of lazer beam shot at the demons vine's, slicing through them and releasing the scouts. "Outer Scouts!" they yelled, carrassing their chaff necks. Several figures jumped down from out of the sky in front of Tin-Nyanko. "And the Sailor Starlights! Please hold you applause!" joked out Sailor StarFighter. Sailor Uranus rolled her eyes, then stepped foreward. "If I were you, I would step away from the boy, before I get a MUCH stronger repeat of what just happend!" said Sailor Uranus in a menacing tone. She raised her Talisman sword and pointed it at Tin- Nyanko. "Never!! I will not let you defeat me!" Sailor Tin-Nyanko got up painfully, pointed out the new arrivals to Sailor Vines. "Don't just stand there, leaves for brains!! DESTROY THEM!!" she shrieked out. The demon let out a howl, then rushed at the scout team that were now standing together, vines once again sprouting from it's hands. Sailor Pluto narrowed her dark eyes, then pointed her Time Staff straight at the demon's chest. her eyes closed for a second, and the Garnet Orb Talisman on top began to glow. She whispered out, "PLUTO DEAD SCREAM!" and immediately, a massive supersonic ball of energy appeared, and struck the demon dead on. The demon exploded in a piercing scream and a ball of pink explosion. When the explosion was over, the scouts began looking around for Sailor Tin-Nyanko and more danger, but she and the boy was gone, it was all silence. "Where did she go?" shouted Sailor Sirius, looking around wildly. Suddenly, Sailor Mercury gave a small cry, then fell to her knees. "My God!! She took him, and it was all my fault! I lead her to him!!" She buried her face in her hands, and sobbed quietly. Sailor Pluto came up to her, and placed a hand on her shoulder. She gently raised Sailor Mercury up to her feet, so she can look in her eyes. "Listen to me! It's not your fault, and we ARE going to get him back! We have to! Without him, Crystal Tokyo might not exist!" Sailor Moon suddenly snapped her head up, now very interested. "What do you mean Pluto? Is it about Mamo-Chan? Please, you must tell me!" she begged. Sailor Sirius looked at Pluto curiously, "Ummm, what exactly is Crystal Tokyo?" she asked, then her eyes had a slight glimmer of recognition. "It....sort of sounds familiar." "All in do time, but not here. We must teleport to the Command Center before we are spotted and questioned!" said Sailor Pluto, pointing up to the students and people who were beginning to walk outside to find the source of all the noise. In another flash of the Garnet Orb, the scouts disappeared in a bright white light. ******Command Center**** "Now, I want everyone to listen to me, because this is very important." Pluto began in a serious tone. "In not too far in the future, Kijuro Sato will become a world reknowned scientist, who will somehow be able to help unlock the secrets of the Ginzuishou Crystal, and unleash it's power to bring about our world which will become Crystal Tokyo. Galaxia somehow must have traced his orgins back here, and decided that his starseed is vital to her mission." "So that's why Galaxia has targeted him! She thinks that somehow, if she can get to him in our past, and destroy him here, then that would mean Crystal Tokyo would never exist!" said Sailor Sirius. teh other scouts turned to her in astonishment. Sailor Sirius smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "Hey, I pay attention when I have to, and I know how to put two and two together!" She then turned to Sailor Pluto. "But there is still one thing that I don't really get. What is the Ginzuishou Crystal? Marco mentioned it one time, but I never really paid attention." Marco lifted his head up, and gave a hard look at Sailor Sirius, "HA! As if you ever DO pay attention to me sometimes!" Sailor Sirius gave a hurt expression to Marco, and was about to say something, when Sailor Pluto raised her hands for silence. She then explained about the purpose and the power of the Crystal, and how it help reincarnate everyone to Earth, and the power it will have in Crystal Tokyo. "So how are we going to save Kijuro?" said Sailor Neptune. Sailor Saturn moved closer to her, and nodded her head, concern etched in her face. "If he is as important as you say, then we must make every effort to bring him back." she said after Neptune. "We will simply go into her dimention, and do what we have to do to bring him home, there is no time for planning or stratergies!" said Pluto. She raised her Time Staff in readines. "Is everyone ready and willing to except this mission?" She looked at each of the Sailor Senshi and the StarLights in the eyes. They nodded, and assumed the Sailor Scout Teleport. "Wish me luck Luna!! Hopefully, I'll be back to scratch your ears again!" Sailor Moon smiled sadly. pain was in her eyes that she could not hide from the wise cat. Luna nodded and smiled back, "Good luck, Princess Serenity!" "Good Luck to you too Venus!" said Artermis, then rubbed his head on Sailor Venus's leg. "Thanks Artermis!" Sailor Venus whispered back. Sailor Mars and Jupiter grabbed each other's hands, then looked to Sailor Mercury. She nodded, then grasped their hands too. Before Marco had a chance to say good bye to Sailor Sirius, the scouts disappeared in a vortex. ******Shadow Galactica**** "YUCK!! I never thought I had to come here again!" said Sailor Sirius, trying to wipe away the thick dense fog from her face. "My sentiments exactly!" said Sailor Jupiter, then jumped and gave a small yelp as she felt something run over her foot. "Mercury, came you give us a readout on the this place, and where Galaxia might be?" said Sailor Pluto. Sailor smiled, "OF COURSE! Anything to find that lowlife!" She touched the side of her earring, "MERCURY VISORS ON!" A small blue flash appeared, and over Mercury'a eyes where a pair of digital visors. "Alright! I got something! Galaxia's a little ways down this corridor to our right, and it looks like she has company!" said Mercury. "Come on everyone! What are we waiting for!?" said Eternal Sailor Moon. The scouts managed to run high speed towards Galaxia when Sailor Mars felt a strong prescence. She was about to tell the others to stop when a nasty looking demon jumped out in front of them from seemingly nowhere. It was dreesed in all black exactly like death, and had a scythe. it pointed it at the scouts. "Stop where you are, or else face you worst fears!" it roared out. Sailor Mars started her Flame Sniper attack, but never finished. A ball of black energy erupted from the scythe, and hit her. Mars blinked her eyes for a moments then began screaming. In her mind, her worst fears where coming true: she was listening to her father and grandfather yelling at her, telling her she was a no good daughter and never will be a Shinto Prietess. "Please! Make them stop!! Make them stop!" she whispered fearfully. The scouts watched in horror as she then fainted, and her body was incased in cold ice. "MARS! NOOO!" screamed Sailor Moon. She raised her Eternal Tier, and began to say the words to destroy the Animate of fear, but he was too fast. He shot out another blast of dark energy, and it headed straight for the scouts. Sailor Sirius saw the attack coming, and quickly jumped out of the way. The Inner and StarLights scouts was struck, and them began to scream as the Fear overcame them. Sailor Jupiter screamed at the planes she saw and heard in her head, and Sailor Moon fell to the floor in a fetal positon, whimpering and moaning at the ghost the were wailing to her. Then in a flash, they were all incased in ice. The Animate then turned to the Outer Scouts and Sailor Sirius standing with them, and sneered, "How about a taste of Fear, ladies?" he got ready to throw a ball of dark energy at them. "Not in this lifetime, you Death wannabe!" shouted out Sailor Saturn. She raised her Silence Glaive high in the air. "SILENCE WA..." Before she even got to finish, the demon shot out the energy ball, and it struck Saturn hard, knock her to the ground and causing her to drop the Silence Glaive. She started screaming loud, seeing herself turning into a wired up robot, then was incased in ice. Pluto, Uranus and Neptune screamed in surprise. The demon barely struck Saturn when she turned to Sirius. The energy struck her, and she slammed to the ground in a grunt. She tried to get up, but suddenly, there was a loud buzzing sound. Sailor Sirius looked up, and in her mind, saw a swarm of insects flying towards her. She screamed, then dropped to her knees again, hugging herself in fear. "NOOO!! Keep them away!! They'll kill me like they did my mom!" she screamed, tears streaming down her face. "Sailor Sirius!! You have to come over your fear!!" shouted Sailor Pluto. She rushed over and grabbed both her arms, and began shaking her. " You have to fight your fear!!" To be continued...... Boy Genius, Chapter 4 By Sharon Williams Sailor Sirius barely heard Pluto's words as she continued to cry. Sailor Pluto then grabbed her face in her hands, then raised it up so Sirius's eyes can meet hers. "SIRIUS! Listen to me! This is only in your mind! You must be strong and face you fears! you can do it, I know you can!" Pluto said, looking hard into the crying girl's eyes. Sailor Sirius's sobs suddenly subsided, and she looked up at Sailor Pluto with teary eyes. "You...you think I can do it?" Sailor Sirius said in a shaky voice. Pluto looked to the two remaining scouts, and they smiled in agreement with the senshi of time and space. "You CAN do it Sirius! Just believe in yourself!" said Neptune and Uranus together. "AWWW! This is just all so sweet. Maybe I should take a picture for such a touching moment!" shouted the Animate demon. He howled a sickning sound, and raised his scythe to blast the remaining scouts. While he was talking, the chill of ice that began to creep up her back and legs were beginning to slowly dissapate as the anger inside her started to build up. She held her head in her hands, and began to shake out the frightning mental thoughts. "This is all an illusion! It's NOT REAL!!" she thought. The ice on her melted away from her legs then, and suddenly, the insects heading straight for her disappeared as is from a dream. Sailor Sirius stood up in a flash, and stood in a fighting stance with Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto. "WHAT!! How did you break out of my fear spell?!! THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!" screeeched out the dark clad Sailor Fear. He backed up a few paces, raised the Fear Scythe up and pointed it straight for Sailor Sirius's heart. "Nothing is impossible when you have friends who care about you and believe in you, CREEP!" yelled back Sailor Sirius, "which is more than I can say for you! Your evil method of turning our worst fears against us are over! As sure as the Star that shines brightest in the Heavens, I am Sailor Sirius, and you WILL be vanguished!" She turned to the Outer Scoouts, "Hey, what say me make this ugly pay for making us ladies scared?" she said with a sly grin. "With much pleasure! URANUS SPACE SWORD BLASTER!" shouted Sailor calling forth her Talisman once again. -Neptune outstretched her hands, and her Agua Mirror Talisman appeared suddenly, This is for Hotaru! NEPTUNE SUBMARINE VOILIN TIDE!" -"PLUTO DEAD SCREAM!" -"SIRIUS KISS OF DEATH, CAPTIVATION!" A flash and in action that was almost too quick, the powers slammed into the screaming Sailor Fear. Finally, he was wrapped in darkness, then began to shrink. An instant later, he exploded in a burst of lights and water, leaving nothing behind. Sailor Sirius blew out a sigh of relief, then fell to her knees in exhaustion. There was a sound of cracking behind the remaining scouts, and Sailor Sirius jumped up and ran over to the encased heroes. "LOOK! The ice casing is melting!" she said in wonder. The ice around the scouts were cracking apart and melting, and with Sirius, Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus helping, they stepped out of it, and started brushing ice crystals from their uniforms. "What in the world just happend! I....I have never been so scared in my life! The images were so real!" said Sailor Moon, looking at the other scouts to see if they were all right. "Without the demon to feed of your fear, the ice had no more power over you! You can also thank our new recruit for being so brave, and helping us to kick his baka butt!" said Sailor Uranus, patting Sirius on the back. "Really?" said Sailor StarHealer. She looked at Sailor Sirius with new admiration in her eyes. "Not bad kid! Not bad at all!" "Don't call me kid!" Sailor Sirius, said, trying to sound and look mad, but blushed when the other scouts smiled at her. "I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but we have to get going if we are to find Kijuro!! Time IS of the essence!" said Sailor Pluto. The Sailor Scouts quickly made for outside the large opened spaced corridor they were in, but as soon as they reached outside ran a little ways, they were engulfed and carried up screaming in a heavier thick fog than the one they were in, and suddenly, they were transported into a large arena with Sailor Galaxia standing in the middle waiting for them. Sailor Tin-Nyanko also then suddenly appeared besides her, laughing evilly. "At last!! The Sailor Team before me, and one by one I will have the pleasure of destroying you all!!!" she called out taunting, then cackled out an evil laugh. Sailor Mercury was about to demand that she set free Kijuro, when Sailor Galaxia then raised a threatening hand and pointed a her, "SILENCE! I know why you are all here!! You may have won a few battles with me before, but no more!! As soon as I take what I came for, your galaxy will be mine, and I will be the SUPREME RULER!" Galaxia flicked both her hands, and in front of her and Sailor Tin-Nyanko, Kijuro Sato appeared floating in the air, still unconcious and pale. Sailor Galaxia then gave the Sailor Scouts a sly, evil look. "Of course, there is a way that you can come of this without getting destroyed. All you have to do is surrender your starseed to me, and become my servants. Then maybe, just maybe, I won't have to destroy you! Do we have a deal?" She looked at them and gave them a knowling smile. "I thought we aready gave you an answer to that! What part of NO don't you understand, you witch!!" said Sailor Moon. "This galaxy will neve be yours! We will defend and protect to the death this galaxy that we call home! It is where our family, friends, past and future reside in, and we will NOT give that up! I am Sailor Moon, and in the name of the Moon, I will punish you!" "Fine then! Have it your way!!" Galaxia shrieked out. With lightning fast reflexes, she reached into Kijuro, and savagely pulled out the small glowing starseed before the scouts could stop her. His eyes snapped opened, and Kijuro fell to the ground with a shriek. When he hit the ground, he immediately began a transformation. He began to grow taller, the his skin turned dark green. Claws came out of his hands, and when the transformation was done, he was the gigantic Sailor Lizard. Sailor Galaxia clutched the starseed in her hand, shreiking with laughter along side Tin-Nyanko. "At last, one of the most powerful starseed is mine, and Crystal Tokyo will be no more! DESTROY THEM!" she instructed Sailor Tin-Nyanko and Lizard, then disappeared in a cackle. Immediately, the Animates shot out their power at the Sailor Scouts. Sailor Tin-Nyanko continously shot out lightning bolts, while the Lizard shot out acid spit, dissolving the floor when it missed the scouts. The sailor scouts scattered everywhere to jump out of the way of the deadly attacks. One of the lightning bolt missed Saturn's head by and inche, and scorched a little of her already black hair "That does it! NO MORE MISS NICE GUY!" whispered Sailor Saturn. She raised her Silence Glaive, ran up to Tin-Nyanko, and knock the weapon out of her hands. She was about to slice through her when Sailor Jupiter stopped her. "Allow me!! Nobody calls me a wench!! JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!" Sailor Tin-Nyanko screamed in pain, then disintergrated in a flash of electrified blowing leaves. Sailor Lizard howled when the Animate was destroyed, then started advancing towards the scouts. "Everyone! We have to distract him so Sailor Moon can use her powers!" said Sailor Sirius. She and the rest of the scouts began to shout and taunt at the demon. As soon as his attention was away from Sailor Moon, she was ready, "Here goes nothing! STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS!" The flash of pink light from the Eternal Tier struck the demon, and slowly, he began to shrink and return to normal. Kijuro moaned, then fainted on the hard floor. Sailor Mercury quickly ran up to him, and check his pulse. She sighed in relief. "He's alright! Just very exhausted!" Sailor Pluto looked over at Kijuro, then nodded approvally. "Yes. His starseed is no good no for Galaxia, and the future has been secured." She looked over at the other scouts. "Good job everyone! Now, let's go home!" ********Juuban High School**** Tanya sat up on the roof of the high school, her favorite place, and watched the stars twinkle. She was sitting down with her knees drawn up, and her arms around her legs, when suddenly, there was a scuffling sound. Stepping onto the roof from the ladder was Yaten Kou. She gasped when she realized who it was. Yaten looked at her in surprise, "OH! I'm very sorry! I didn't realize anyone was here! This is the place where I usually...meditate." "No! I'M sorry! I'll leave if you want!" Tanya said shyly. She hung her head, then looked up at Yaten with an embarrassed look, blushing harshly. "I didn't know anyone else knew about this place." she said softlyas she began to walk slowing towards the ladder to climb down. "No, don't leave! I would enjoy the company! So, do you like looking at the stars at night?" he asked taking Tanya's hand and sitting her down with him. Tanya looked back at him and smiled shyly."Oh yes!! They are SO beautiful! They help me feel better sometimes when I am lonely, or feel like getting out of my house. It's just one of those simple things in life I enjoy." Tanya became quiet as she looked once again at the stars shining down. "Yeah, well, sometimes, people don't have time to enjoy the "simple" things in life.There's too much going on in the world to waste our time doing silly things like just sitting looking at the stars. Time you can spend looking for someone you need to find!" said Yaten, his eyes narrowing as he turned his head up to look at the stars too, thinking of Princess Kakyuu, and his mission to find her. As soon as he realized what he said though, he looked quickly at the girl at his side, and saw that she had bent her head in embarrassment again, trying to hide the tears that began to from in her large hazel-brown eyes. "I'm...I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to come out that way!" stammered Yaten, feeling himself blush for the first time. He tried to palce his hands on her dark ones, but she quickly took it away before he can touch her. "Maybe I should leave! I don't have to stay here and listen to this!" said Tanya angrily as she got up and turned away from Yaten and began to walk fast. Yaten quickly caught up with her. "Wait!! I'm sorry! I really didn't mean that!" he said, putting his hand on her shoulder to stop her and turn her around to face him again. "Let me make it up to you. Me and the guys rehearsed for tomorrow night's concert a thousand times already, so I don't have anything much to do before the concert. Why don't I show you to the place where me, Seiya, and Taiki hang out?" he said hopefully, looking Tanya full in the eyes. Tanya looked at him suspiciously. "You mean like a date? Just me and you?" she said, folding her arms across her chest. "Well, errrr....actually...I mean...that is, it will be more like a tour, and a desperate plea at forgiveness!" said Yaten, blushing harder as he was trying desperrately to find the right words to say he wasn't ready to start dating. Tanya sensed his hesitation. Well, alright." Tanya said, after thinking for a moment.She then gave Yaten a soft look in his eyes. "But you need to seriously chage your attitude." She held out her hand for a shake. "Deal?" Yaten gratefully took her hand and began to shake it. "Deal!" he smiled. THE END.. Galaxia's Revenge,
