Chapter 2: Power of courage.

Sailor moon is the property of Toei. The American names are the property of DIC. All
new characters are mine except for the guilded rose. He's the idea of my friend AOL
nickname gcl1969

The three humanoids are standing in front of a video screen. The screen comes to life and
a dark face with glowing eyes appears.

"Have you found the crystal yet?" The face asks.

"We have found part of it. The crystal was apparently broken into many pieces along
time ago. We need to find them all." The woman responds.

"You better do that and soon." The face says angrily.

"Yes my master." The woman says bowing.

The woman turns to the other men and snarls.

"Have you found the location of the next crystal yet?" The woman asks.

"Yes. It's in what they call an arcade." The first man responds.

The five wakes up still a bit tired from the jet lag but eager to spend their first day in
America. They all file out into the dining room.

"Good morning." The woman says bowing.

The scouts bow also.

"Good morning." Ami says in good English.

"Uh good morning." Serena struggles to say in English.

"It seems that Serena is the one with the least knowledge of our language. Don't worry
we will teach you. By the time you leave here, you will know it well." John says.

"He doesn't know Serena very well does he?" Lita asks laughing.

"Hey I can learn another language. I just need time." Serena says.

"Would you like to have your first lesson after breakfast?" The woman asks.

"That would be cool." Serena responds.

"Meanwhile would you girls like it if I showed you around town today?" John asks.

"Yeah." The four other girls all say.

Serena looks down.

"Don't worry. You will get your chance tomorrow." John says smiling.

They eat their breakfast and leave while Serena goes into the other room with the woman.
John drives the girls around and Ami doesn't recognize much stuff. Until they reach an
arcade and they all go crazy.

"Wow. An arcade. Let me at it." Mina says.

The others smile as John pulls over. They all get out and walk in.

"Wow this is bigger than any of the ones I have been to in Tokyo." Mina says.

Lita's eyes catch the center attraction of the arcade. A big crystal.

"Wow that is the biggest crystal I have ever seen." Lita says.

"Yes. It's a power crystal. It is said to give everybody around it power for their whole
day." John says.

Meanwhile Serena is having her English lesson.

"Thank me." Serena says.

"No it's thank you." The woman corrects.

"Thank you." Serena says.

"Goodbye means the same as your sayonara." The woman says.

"Goodbye." Serena says.

"Great now try to remember as much as you have learned and say it back to me." The
woman says.

"Uh. I can't remember. I am too nervous." Serena says.

The woman smiles.

"It's okay. When I was young I was nervous about learning foreign languages also." The
woman says.

Serena just giggles. Meanwhile Mina is playing on a racing game and doing well. She
loses the game but not before breaking the high score.

"Wow you are good." A young man says.

"Thank you." Mina says.

She turns to look at the boy and blushes. He is a very handsome boy with dark hair and
dark eyes.

"My name is David." The young man says.

"Me too." Mina says giggling.

"David is an interesting name for a girl." David says.

"Oh sorry. I mean Mina." Mina says.

"A beautiful name indeed." David says.

Unknown to them all, a slimy creature crawls inside and zeroes in on the arcade owner. It
enters his ear and his eyes glow briefly. He looks over at Mina making googly eyes at the
young man.

"Hey. Do you have any more money or are you just gonna stand there all day?" The
owner asks.

"Oh sorry. Yeah I have some money left." Mina responds.

"Then play a game or get out." Jim says with a frown on his face.

"Hey what's your problem? You never treat your customers that way Jim." The young
man asks frowning.

"Speaking of paying customers, are you gonna play a game?" Jim asks.

"I just came in here to get something to drink." The young man responds.

"The bar is closed. Play a game or get out." Jim says angrily.

"Hey the bar looks open to me. In fact someone is sitting at it now." The young man
responds getting irritated.

The owner sees the man sitting and goes over to him.

"Hey you. Play a game or get out. The bar is closed." Jim says.

The guy gets up angrily and storms out muttering curse words. The young man grabs the
owner and spins him around.

"Hey Jim. What's wrong with you today?" The young man asks.

"Get your hands off of me." Jim says.

His eyes glow brightly and the young man backs away.

"You what is wrong with you man?" The young man asks.

"Nothing is wrong with me. I couldn't be better." Jim says in a deeper voice.

Suddenly Jim's arms turn to tentacles and one of them wraps around the young man.

"Oh not again." Mina says.

The three others run into a corner. They all become scouts. The beeping of her
communicator interrupts Serena's English lessons.

"That's my communicator. My friends must want me." Serena says.

Serena goes into another room and turns it on.

"Serena. Another monster attack at the arcade. Just zero in on my signal to find it." Mina
says.

Serena leaves and goes into a corner.

"Moon crystal power." Serena yells.

She then rushes and finds the arcade. She runs inside and approaches Jim.

"That's far enough. How dare you try to wreck the fun of young people? I am sailor
moon and in the name of the moon I shall punish you." Sailor moon says.

Serena takes out her wand and forgets that it is broken.

"Oh no. What am I gonna do?" Serena wonders.

The Jim takes the crystal and gives it to a trio of humanoids.

"Those three again." Mina says.

"So it's you again. I can really see that you are gonna be a problem." The woman says.

"Finish them." The first man says.

They take the crystal and disappear.

"Why do they want those crystals?" Mina wonders.

"We have a bigger problem to think about right now." Ami says as another tentacle is
holding her.

The other scouts scream as other tentacles take them. Serena backs away from yet
another.

"What am I gonna do without the wand?" Serena asks.

A golden rose pierces one of the tentacles. The mysterious figure appears again.

"Sailor moon. Use your courage deep inside to create a new power." The figure says.

"I can't." Serena whimpers.

A golden rose appears in Serena's hand.

"You have the power inside of you." The figure says.

Serena focuses on the rose and thinks of her inner courage. A new scepter appears in her
hand. It has a lion head on the top with a crystal in the eye.

"You now posses the legendary lion head scepter. Use it to finish off anything." The
figure says.

"Lion heart power." Serena yells.

She glows with energy.

"Now finish off this monster." The figure says.

"Lion heart courage attack." Serena yells.

The eye glows and fires a beam of light that envelops the Jim and changes him back to
normal. Once again a slimy creature falls out of his ear and dies.

"Good job Sailor moon. You can do it. You can defeat the new evil." The figure says.

The figure disappears.

"No wait. When are you gonna tell us who you are?" Serena asks.

But no answer is said. Unseen by all, a figure in a male suit was watching the whole
battle. He jumps up and disappears.

"What is going on here? This is the second time those three people took crystals.
Something tells me that there is a connection." Ami says.

Rei thinks of her dream. She remembers seeing a huge glowing crystal in the temple.
