Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon AR ❯ Chapter 5

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

005:
As the final bell rang, Serena found herself
dejectedly heading up towards Miss Haruna's room to
serve out her detention. Along the way she ran into
Amy who was headed the other way.
"Hey, Amy. I'm off to serve my time again,"
Serena muttered.
"Sorry, Serena," Amy said. Serena noticed
that they had stopped in front of the classroom with
tinted windows. Room 7. She had always wondered
what went on behind there.
"Say..Any idea what's in there?" She asked
pointing at the door.
"I don't have a clue," Amy replied.
"I think I know," Melvin said appearing
unexpectedly beside the too. Serena was startled.
"Don't do that!" Serena yelled.
"Sorry. From what I hear that's the room
where they keep some of the special education
students. There's only one right now. I hear he's
partially crazy. They're afraid to put him in with
everyone else," Melvin said.
"Where did you hear this?" Amy asked
skeptically.
"I have my ways," Melvin said. Melvin made it
a point to make up a full report on everyone in the
school. Usually his information was accurate, but he
had a bad habit of gossiping too. He would do
anything to get girls to talk to him.
"So that's some nut's classroom," Serena said.
"Serena...don't be so unsympathetic," Amy
said.
"I heard rumors about him, he's very....."
Melvin began.
To the three's surprise the door swung open quickly. A
mid sized boy with long dark hair, roughly arranged,
emerged from the room. He had a huge scowl on his
face. The three froze as he walked out and down the
hallway.

Raye was silently sipping a milkshake as she sat
alone in the crown restaurant.
I wish one of the others would get here. This
feels strange. I look out of place in this booth with no
one else around.
She recognized a familiar figure enter.
Rick. She said with increasing excitement.
Maybe with him out of school I'll be able to have a
conversation with him without getting him in trouble.
She then noticed the girl beside Rick who was
smiling up at him and laughing.
WHO IS SHE? Raye thought standing up. The
curious glances of numerous other patrons caused her
to sit back down.
Now now calm down Raye. It's not like you're
dating him or anything, but he hasn't seemed to have a
girlfriend before. Not recently anyway. Still..
The idea that Rick knew she had feelings for
him and instead was out with that girl shocked her, and
she tried to understand what this girl had that she
didn't.
She sighed and stared down at the table.
Mina and Lita walked in and looked at her
curiously.
"What do you think is so interesting about the
table?" Mina asked.
"Dunno, it's never been interesting before," Lita
said.
Raye snapped up.
"Oh it's you two," She said in surprise.
"Who else would it be?" Lita asked.
"Sorry, I'm just a little distracted," Raye said.
"By the fact that Rick is over there with some
other girl," Mina said.
"We're not surprised," Lita said.
"You noticed," Raye muttered.
"That's what we do," Mina said.
"I would be too worried," Lita said. "From
what I hear that's what Rick does."
"WHAT?" Raye asked.
"Sure, Melvin filled us in, he keeps spy reports
on anyone that goes near Crossroads," Mina said.
"Raye, Rick has dated about half the girls at
your school," Lita said.
"And some at other schools too," Mina said.
"He has?" Raye asked in surprise.
"You didn't notice?" the two girls asked.
"I really didn't," Raye said. "I've never really
paid attention to him before."
Lita and Mina glanced at each other.
"Hmm...I've seen this before," Mike said.
The three looked around hurriedly. Mike was
sitting in the booth as well.
"How did you..." the three all said in surprise.

"I do many things that defy explanation," he
said. "Now as for the matter at hand. You seem
worried that Rick apparently has found another
girlfriend, but this is only number fifty seven," Mike
said.
"Only!" the other three shouted. "Are you
insane!" the three shouted.
"Most likely. Anyway, the point is that at first
appearances Rick may appear to not really be
interested in a long term relationship."
"No man really is," the three girls replied.
"That's why we have to trick them into it."
"Oh, so is that how it works," Mike said.
"Anyway, Rick is merely trying out each girl to see if
they meet up to his expectations, but so far, they've all
failed."
"Failed?"
"Sure, Rick will take any girl out on a first date,
but to this day, he's never taken one out on a second,"
Mike said.
"Weird," The three said.
"Ain't it though?" Mike asked. "Apparently
Rick is looking for the perfect girl."
"So until he finds her he's going to keep giving
everyone a date?" Lita asked.
"Yup," Mike said.
"Why do the girls put up with that?" Lita asked.
"Wouldn't you if you had a chance to date
him," Mina said dreamily.
"I know," Raye said.
"I hear ya sisters," Mike said.
They both moved to bonk him on the head.
Mike vaulted out of the seat and landed nearby.
"Too slow!" he shouted and laughing hurried
out of the restaurant.
"So I do have a chance with Rick, I just need
to be the perfect girl," Raye said.
"Good luck," Mina and Lita replied.
Raye growled.
"Like you two are doing any better," She said.
"At least we're being reasonable," Lita said.
"Yeah, does Rick even like you?" Mina asked.
"Of course he does. Everyone likes me," Raye
said.
"That's an odd thing to say," Mina said.
"Are you feeling well, do you have a fever?"
Lita asked.
Raye growled again.

Rick meanwhile sat across from the attractive
red haired girl at his table.
"So what are your hobbies?" he asked.
"Hmm...does styling my hair count?" the girl
asked.
"It can," Rick said hiding the fact that he was
completely displeased with that answer.
"Oh good," the girl said. "I also do my nails."
"How often?"
"What day is it today?" she asked.
"Thursday."
"Hmm..well, then I did them today. I'll
probably do them tomorrow, and on the weekend, next
week too, " she said.
"So you do them every day then?"
"Yeah, I guess that's an easier way to say it,"
she said with a laugh.
Rick wanted to sigh, but he held a smile on his
face.
"Well you're persistent. That's good."
"Yep, persistency is what I'm all about."
Rick quickly took a drink of soda to prevent
himself from frowning.

Several blocks away sat Tokyo's City Hall.
On the top floor of the building was the Governor's
office. Tokyo, being so large for a city, had no mayor,
but instead a Governor which signified the prestige of
the city. The Governor, Isamu Morimoto, stared out
the window of the building at the city surrounding him
and sighed.
What is going on in this city? He thought to
himself. His intercom buzzed.
"The Chief of Police is here to see you," came
the voice of his secretary.
"Send him in," Morimoto replied. The door
opened seconds later and the grey haired Chief
Superintendent of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police
Department, Hideki Ozaki, walked in holding his hat
under his arm.
"Chief," Morimoto said extending his hand.
Ozaki took it. "How are you sir?" Ozaki asked.
"I could be better," Morimoto said sitting.
"What have you foundout about these strange
occurrences in the Juuban area?"
Ozaki hesitated slightly.
"They're hard to explain," the Chief said.
"I'm well aware of that," Morimoto said. "But
we've got thirty eight people in the hospital recovering
from these attacks, the doctors say they haven't seen
anything like it."
"That is true," Ozaki said. "As far as we can tell
these attacks are not earthly by any means. I know we
have been doing our best to try not to believe that what
we believe to be reality has been compromised, but sir,
it has."
"You're saying that these are supernatural
forces."
"Yes sir I am, and that ship we saw floating
over the city several months ago was no illusion and
that a lot of the things we have trouble explaining are
because things are not the same anymore."
"Are you sure?" Morimoto asked.
"I wish I wasn't," Ozaki said. "Sir, there are
forces at work here that we do not understand. My
officers have been fighting off the strangest varieties of
creatures you can imagine."
"So what do we do about it?"
"I don't know. Though apparently we have
help somehow."
"Oh yes, I hear the stories, about what do they
call them...Sailor...."
"Scouts sir, yes, they do exist. There's no
doubt of that, but they're seen rarely."
"And what are they all about?"
"Apparently they're about stopping whatever it
is we can't stop."
Morimoto sighed.
"I wish we knew what was going on," he said.
"I think we all do sir,"Ozaki said.
"Fine out what you can, I'm sick of being in the
dark."
"Yes sir, we'll do our best."
Morimoto nodded solemnly.

Coardite sat in his headquarters.
Fortunately I recovered some energy in the
previous battles, and have managed to keep my
supplies high. However, the scouts are much too good
at fighting off my forces. I will use trickery. The best
place to attack them is at their school where I can catch
them in human form. Besides, three of them go to one
school. I'll eliminate them first one by one and then
finish off the other two. Now to make preparations. I
will not bother using all my warriors. If I can focus the
energy into myself the plan will work better. After all, if
energy is divided up among the warriors it loses some
of it's potency for whatever reason and I need every bit
I can get.

"I don't know why Miss Haruna is always
picking on me," Serena said. "Does she think that
somehow punishing me like she does will get me to
come in on time."
"I think that's the idea," Amy said.
"But doesn't she know me better then that.
She's smart right?"
"I guess you have a point," Amy said.
The two walked up the steps to Raye's temple
and found the other three girls sitting on the steps.
"I hope your days been better then mine," Raye
said.
"Why what happened?" Serena asked.
"Don't ask," Lita and Mina said. "We don't
need to hear about it, we already heard about it twice."
"Phooey on all of you," Raye said.
"It's been a long day," Lita said.
"It's not over for me. I still have to study and
double check my poetry paper due tomorrow. Or is
that triple check? That's right I double checked it three
days ago," Amy said slipping into her genius persona
again.
The others all sighed.
"Amy, why do you torture us?" Mina muttered.
"What? Oh, sorry," she said. "Serena, did you
finish your paper?"
"Uh..actually I did put together an outline...wait
a minute..my book..I left it at school!" Serena said and
began to panic. "I remember it wasn't in my bag at
lunch and I was going to get it after my detention, but I
was in such a hurry to get out of there...I'm doomed,"
she whined.
"Calm down, you can go there now. There
must be a janitor that can help you out," Raye said.
"Well sure, there's Willie. He's helped me
before," Amy said.
"Willie?" the others asked.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten books before."
Mina said.
"No, I keep careful track of my supplies. It
what was when I was doing my extra credit labs that I
needed to come in late..oh...there I go again.." she said.
Her other friends let out a moan.

Meanwhile at Crossroads Junior High.
"Who are you?" Willie yelled in fright as he
backed down the hallway.
"Me? I'm Coardite, but that's the least of your
problems," he yelled and blasted the janitor with a blast
of green energy. The man crumpled to the ground, his
life energy drained away.
"Hmm..what a mess, looks like I'll need to
sweep the floor," Coardite muttered and set about
dragging the unconscious man towards the nearest
closet.
Now it's just a matter of setting a trap. I'll just
use this guy and....
He heard footsteps. They were coming down
the nearby stairwell. He quickly pulled the janitor
inside the closet and closed the door over. Through the
crack he watched a tall brown haired women emerge
from the stairs and head towards a classroom.
"I forgot one of those papers I needed," Miss
Haruna was saying to herself. "Sounds like something
Serena would do."
Even better. A teacher. Coardite thought and
emerged from the closet as Haruna opened up her
door.

Serena walked through the school doors
quickly. There had been no need to lock them with a
janitor there. Seeing no sign of Willie on the first floor
she headed for a flight of stairs. She hurried up to the
second floor. She was surprised to see the door to
Miss Haruna's room open.
"Woah, I knew Miss Haruna was working late,
but I didn't think she'd still be here. What luck," Serena
thought and walked in the door. The room was empty,
but the lights were on.
"Hmm...she must have needed to go to the
bathroom," Serena figured.
Serena looked around for her book. it was
lying under her desk.
"There it is!" she said excitedly and grabbed it
off the floor. She then moved out the door again and
back towards the stairwell.
"Well what do we have here?" came a male
voice behind her. She started.
It must be the janitor. She thought and turned.
Sure enough, standing there was a man in a
janitorial outfit.
"Hello," he said.
"Hi...I just came to get my book. I'm leaving
now," Serena said.
"Whatever," the janitor said.
"It must be pretty lonely here. Working late all
alone," Serena said.
"Um...yeah....I guess..." the janitor replied.
"How long have you worked here anyway?"
"Um...twenty years."
Twenty years. The school was built twelve
years ago. This guy must be a fake. Serena thought.
"Well I've got to be going," Serena said and
headed for the door.
"Stay a while," the janitor said and almost
instantly he morphed into Coardite.
"Oh no!" She yelled.
"Don't be frightened. This won't take long,"
Coardite said and raised his hand to attack her.
Time this right Serena. She thought. A black
blast flew out of Coardite's hand at her. She jumped
up onto a nearby desk and avoided the shot. A second
later, Coardite shot again. Serena leapt off of the desk
right at him catching him by her surprise. He raised his
right hand quickly to parry the blow, but the girl's
momentum pushed them both out into the hall. She
staggered up and raced towards the nearest stairwell.
In her haste she tripped on the top step and went
tumbling down to the landing slamming into it hard. She
woozily looked up to see Coardite standing at the top.
"I've had enough of chasing you!" he yelled and
blasted an entire barrage of energy at her. Serena
rolled to her right and began to roll down the steps
towards the ground. The shots missed and Coardite
frowned.
"Now we play rough!" He yelled and leapt
from the top stairwell to the landing in one jump.
Serena scrambled out of the stairwell and towards the
front door as Coardite followed swiftly. He grabbed
onto one of her long strands of hair with his claw and
pulled her back grabbing onto her neck with his right
hand.
"I use the claw for crushing. Don't make me do
that to your pretty little face," he muttered. Serena
struggled under the pressure and acted instinctively.
She swung her right foot out hoping to hit her foe in the
chest. She hit lower. The pressure dropped and she
fell to the ground. Coardite yelled in pain.
"Woah...that was lucky. I guess our races are
more alike then we think," Serena said and raced for
the door.
Gotta get the others. She thought and quickly
pulled out her communicator.

Her friends were waiting outside and they
quickly got the message.
"Serena's in trouble!" Lita yelled.
"Quick we can transform behind the equipment
shed," Amy said pointing at a small shack near the
athletic field.
The four soon reached the place and pulled out
their power sticks.
"Venus Star Power!" Mina yelled.
"Mercury Star Power!" Amy cried.
"Mars Star Power!" Raye screamed.
"Jupiter Star Power!" Lita shouted.
And their transformations began.

Seconds later Serena dashed onto the
pavement she slipped on a crack and she fell to the
ground skinning her knee on the pavement. She
struggled up, wincing at the small pain in her leg.
"Ow," She muttered.
"Hah! Now this ends," Coardite said floating
out the front door. Then he sensed something.
What? I'm feeling something strange. The
Sailor Scouts are......
"Hold it negatrash!" Four female voices yelled.
He whirled around to the sound to see the Sailor
Scouts standing there. Serena took the chance to slip
away into a group of bushes.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Sailor Mars, Sailor
Mercury, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Jupiter," Coardite
said. "Where's your prissy leader?"
"She'll be along eventually," Mars said.
"She didn't want to waste the time with you, so
she sent us to kick your butt," Jupiter said.
"Yeah!" the others agreed.
"How entertaining," Coardite said and
unleashed a wave of green energy. The four girls
scattered as the energy blasted away the ground where
they had just stood. Mercury landed on her feet and
turned quickly to face her foe.
"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!" She yelled and
unleashed a blue wave of icy cold energy at Coardite.
The negaverse commander floated to one side and the
attack slammed into the side of the school forming an
icy spot over the wall.
"Hah! Is that it?" Coardite said.
"Hardly!" Mars yelled. "Mars Fireball
Surround!" she yelled.
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!" Venus added.
Several red firebolts flew out and around
Coardite as a golden energy chain swooped in towards
him. He waved his hand and blew the two attacks
away with a wave of green energy. The two girls were
momentarily stunned by the defense.
Gotta hit him before he can react. Jupiter
thought. Mercury thought the same thing.
"Jupiter Thunderclap Crash!"
"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!"
The two attacks converged quickly on Coardite. So
quickly that he couldn't jump out of the way fast
enough. The two attacks hit each of his legs. His right
one crackled with green lightning. The left was covered
with ice. He grimaced in pain for a few seconds.
"Hah..hardly a scratch," he said and the two
attacks were blown off his legs by his own energy. He
followed it up with a massive blast the swept out over
the ground and knocked the four girls down as they
caught their breath.
"Care to try something else?" he asked.
These attacks use a lot of energy, but it's
necessary for intimidation. He thought.
"Yeah, you jerk!" came another voice.
Coardite turned to see another girl, similarly dressed as
the others approaching him.
"I was wondering when you would show up,"
Coardite said.
"I am Sailor Moon, champion of justice. I will
right wrongs and triumph over evil. I'm here to punish
the sludge ball who has hurt my friends on behalf of the
moon, and that means you!" she said.
"Was that supposed to be intimidating?"
Coardite said stoically and shot a ball of energy at her.
She jumped out of the way.
This guy is tough. She thought. What do I do
now? This is usually when Tuxedo Mask shows up, but
he isn't here.
Another blast exploded near her. She stumbled
out of the way, letting out a scream. Her wrist
communicator beeped.
"Yeah?" She said dodging another blast.
"I've got a plan," Sailor Mercury said. "We just
need to hit him with enough force that he won't be able
to retaliate quickly, try and draw him towards us," she
said.
"No trouble there," Sailor Moon replied and
turned to run towards where her friends were struggling
to get up.
"This is no challenge at all," Coardite said.
Sailor Moon continued to run. Coardite followed,
shooting another blast at him. He didn't even notice the
position he was in until he saw Sailor Jupiter leap up
out of the corner of his eyes.
So they were faking it. Coardite said and
moved to retaliate against the expected attack. He
began to build up his energy speedily.
"Mars Fireball Surround!"
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"
"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!"
"Jupiter Thunderclap Crash!"
The four attacks flew at the villain. He formed a shield
around himself quickly. The attacks bounced off.
That used up too much energy, but it was worth
it. Now they'll think I'm invincible.
He was so caught up in his thoughts that he
didn't notice the multicolored beam of light flying
through the air. It hit him in his back and caused him to
stagger forward. He whirled around as he felt a small
pain.
"Who did that?" Coardite yelled and searched
for an attacker. The scouts were so surprised they
froze.
From out of seemingly nowhere a figure in
black leapt from the shadows bearing a sword with a
red, blue, green, and yellow, light blade. He landed in
front of the school and stood there. Coardite whirled
around and shot a blast hurriedly at him. The figure
avoided the attack and raised his sword hitting
Coardite in the face with a light volley that sent the
negaverse officer staggering back. He new figure leapt
at him Coardite barely had time to form a dark light
sword of his own to fend of the blow and was still
knocked backward by the force of the attack.
"Who dares attack me?" Coardite yelled
furiously.
The figure said nothing in reply.. He was clad
entirely in black with a cape stretching from his
shoulder to his waist. He held the light sword in his
right arm. Coardite blocked and backed up. The new
attacker continued to swing with great speed and force.
Coardite was put on the defensive as he continued to
back up. Finally the negaverse commander vanished
and reappeared a few feet farther away.
"Hmm...this changes things," Coardite said.
"You're lucky I'm not in the mood for major combat
tonight!" he yelled and vanished again in a flash of green
light.
The dark figure scowled and dropped a smoke
pellet. When the smoke cleared, he was gone.
"Is everyone all right?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Just a little bruised," Jupiter said.
"Me too," Venus said.
"This is just great," Mars said distraughtly.
"Why can't the negaverse just leave us alone,"
Jupiter muttered.
