“Hi, this is Serena. O.K., it’s like this. In the last episode of Sailor Moon N Andrew McAnirlin turned evil and tried to destroy the forces of good. Luckily Warrior Saturn opened a portal, sucking in himself, Andrew, Darren, Derek, Jason, Josh, and Adderson. Unfortunately the group got separated in time and space, ultimately ending up in different locations in different time periods. Alex joined up with Naomi Armitage; Jason and Darren joined up with the mysterious, yet super cute Warrior Scorpio, who is an acquaintance of Sailor Pluto; Adderson ended up with the New Ronin Warriors, while the others eventually rejoined the main fighting force. In the end everyone was reunited, and they did defeat Dark Ganymede and now Andrew is mortal, but still a mutant. But now a new threat awaits them on Mars in the year 2080, which happens to be the home of Armitage. So, without further adieu, episode 24 of Sailor Moon N begins!”
The portal opened without warning, dumping
the huge group of people in the middle of a busy intersection and causing
a multi car pile up. Once the group got things sorted out they heard the
sounds of gunfire and saw the resulting explosions. They then ran towards
the chaos, only to see the army of Third types losing the battle against
the Mars army.
“This is terrible!” Serena shrieked, “All
of this death and destruction! And for what?!”
“They wish to wipe out my kind because we’re
different,” Naomi said, “they think that we pose a threat, but we wish
to live in peace with humans.”
“And they actually called in the ARMY?!” Jubilee
and Roxy said in unison, “This must be serious!”
Just then one of the robot warriors turned
and spotted them. A couple of seconds later more of the robots turned to
face the group.
“We’re in deep trouble now!” Matt said. Just
then the sound of a chant filled the air, emanating from Alex, Warrior
Scorpio, Adderson, and Jack. These four had formed a small circle, joined
hands, and were calling upon divine intervention.
“Guardians of all forces of nature, hear our
call, hear our plea. Grant us the power we require to vanquish this new
darkness that threatens us.”
As they chanted, symbols for natural elements
appeared on their foreheads, their warrior symbols also appearing; a flame
for Alex, a water drop for Jack, a whirl wind for Scorpio, and a globe
for Adderson. The four then levitated off of their ground, their auras
glowing in the same colors as the symbols. They then called out new phrases
in ethereal voices.
Meanwhile, the warriors led by Scorpio were
on their way to Mars Tower at over 200 MPH. Once they were within the range
of vision of the tower, psychic force blasts began to rock the landscape,
one eventually striking the jeep and blowing it to pieces. Fortunately,
Warriors Arctic Chill, Phoenix, Thunderbird, Saturn, and Universe leapt
from the jeep seconds before it exploded activated their jet packs, and
took to the air with the others. Unfortunately some of the flying wreckage
struck Saturn’s jet pack, causing it to self destruct. Saturn fell to the
ground, landing on his right arm and skidding a few feet before colliding
with a large rock with his right shoulder. Warriors Sun and Phoenix descended
to aid him.
“Is anything broken?” Warrior Phoenix asked,
lifting up his face shield.
“No, but my shoulder is killing me!” Saturn
moaned. He then tried to use his right arm to prop himself up, but flopped
back onto his stomach. He then used his left arm to prop himself up as
he got to his feet. Once on his feet again he said, “Well, this cuts it.
I can’t use most of my Venus powers and stuff.”
“What about other powers, like your own?”
Warrior Sun asked, lifting up his own face plate and sliding it back on
top of his head.
“It’s going to be tough because some of them
require the use of that arm, and the pain is...” he winced and bit his
lip, “... killing me.”
Just then several psychic blasts flew at the
three, destroying everything that got into their path. When they were too
close for comfort Warrior X leapt into the path and formed a shield.
“X Energy Shield Absorb!”
The shield absorbed the psychic blasts and
redirected them harmlessly off to the sides. The three who would have been
charred to a crisp looked up to their savior, who smiled and winked at
them through his face shield.
“You couldn’t cut it any closer, could you
Jordan?!” Phoenix said sarcastically.
“Sorry Matt, but that’s the way I live my
life,” Warrior X said, “I can’t change that, can I?”
“Guys,” Saturn said, turning blue, “I don’t...
I don’t feel so good.”
The jewel in his ring shattered a moment later,
his armor disintegrating into ribbons, which wrapped around Jordan, Dan,
and Matt and leaving him in a very weakened state. When the other warriors
flew down to untangle the mess a force bubble surrounded them and transported
them to the tower and into a cell, where the bubble popped and deposited
the group. Upon regaining consciousness they looked around to see themselves
trapped in a spherical room with no doors and no windows.
“How are we going to get out?” Steve Young
asked as he tested the walls.
“We could try blasting our way out,” Doug
said, “Plasma Bomb!”
Doug formed an energy orb, which he hurled
at the wall. Unfortunately the wall absorbed the orb and redirected it
back at Doug. Upon impact the sphere exploded, shattering the chest plate
of his armor and reversing his transformation.
“Woah,” Doug moaned as he struggled to sit
up, “that really sucked.”
“Let me try,” Steve Young said, “Mars Celestial
Fire Surround!”
The flame rings made contact with the wall
and were absorbed. They were then redirected back at the group, who danced
about trying to avoid being burned to a cinder. Once the rings vanished,
Darren said, “O.K., this really blows. Aura...”
As he started to summon his attack, though,
Alex kicked his feet out, sending the armor clad person down and into Alex’s
lap. Darren turned his head, gave Alex a dirty look, and asked, “Why did
you do that?!”
“Two attacks being absorbed and redirected
back at the people who used them usually means bad news,” Alex said.
“You should listen to your friend,” Tetsuo’s
voice boomed, “I copied the abilities of Malachite’s dark dome and Birdie’s
ice bubble and integrated them into your cell. As you can see it’s very
effective. Since you’re all tied up in here I can go help the army destroy
the Sailor Senshi.”
With that Tetsuo let loose a demonic laugh,
which echoed through the chamber for a couple of minutes after he left.
The Warriors were not too amused by this and sat in silence for quite some
time before Doug said, “So, how long has everyone been battling the forces
of evil?”
“I’ve been there from the start,” Dan said,
“Tod, Steve, and I were part of the Mutant Crew, which was the original
group of us.”
“Which Alex started,” Steve said, “all of
us weren’t major league good friends until we discovered our common link....
our mutant powers.”
“He brought us all together,” Tod said, “and
since then our lives have been one adventure after another.”
Alex blushed and said, “We have had some pretty
wild adventures, haven’t we?”
“We joined on a bit later,” Matt said, “Rich
and I discovered our powers a little later and joined on around the time
we sent Crescent Island into an alternate universe.”
“And I still don’t know what all of my powers
are,” Rich said, “but I’ve stopped counting. Anyways, the action is pretty
cool, and we are rarely ever bored any more.”
“I’ve been fighting the forces of evil for
a REALLY long time,” Dennis said, “Sailor Pluto has taught me most of what
I know about time travel and my powers, but I’m still in training.”
“We’ve been with Alex since the trip to Florida,”
Matt Heath said, “we joined on as mutants, but a little later on Luna,
Diana, and Artemis gave us our power items, and later on we upgraded to
warriors.”
“What he said,” Doug said.
“And I joined on after Shaleel captured my
friends and assimilated them,” Darren said, “I still haven’t found my friends,
but I intend to find them and save them.”
“I joined after Jedite kidnapped and gave
me my Warrior powers,” Adderson said, “but I knew Alex from the university,
and he called in a few favors.”
“I teamed up after the fun park,” Jordan said,
“with Mike, Alison, and Alyssa. Before that we were on our own looking
for the others.”
“Same here,” Jason said, “but I have a grudge
with Tetsuo. He blew up Josh and Nate the day we joined up with you guys.”
While each person told their history, Alex
pulled a bottle of glittering nail polish from his sub space pocket and
began to apply it to the nails on his left hand. When he noticed the silence
he looked up to face a room full of stares.
“What is everyone looking at?” he asked, rather
puzzled.
“YOU wear nail polish?” Dan asked in disbelief.
“Now and again, but it’s only clear stuff
with glitter in it,” Alex said in defense.
“Oh well,” Matt Emmerton sighed, “what else
is new.”
As the nail polish dried, energy began to
spark around the fingers on Alex’s left hand. Once the energy sparked to
dangerous levels Jordan cried, “Fire in the hole!” before diving behind
Alex. Everyone else followed in suit. Alex then pointed at the wall and
a delta beam fired from his fingers. Everyone dove for cover, expecting
the beam to rebound. But after a minute or so of waiting for what wasn’t
coming everyone looked to the wall to see a little wisp of smoke floating
from it.
“What the hell happened?” Jason asked.
“Don’t know,” Alex said, “Darren, any explanation?”
“Scanning,” Darren said, activating his visor.
He scanned the wall for a minute before deactivating the visor and shrugging
his shoulders since he had no explanation. Everyone else sighed.
“I think I might have an idea of what happened,”
Adderson said after a minute.
“And that is?” Jason asked.
“The walls are meant to absorb and redirect
Sailor and Warrior attacks, right?”
“So?” Steve Young asked.
“Well, Alex’s delta beam was independent of
his Warrior powers.”
“Go no,” Tod said, nodding.
“Well, if one tiny delta beam can singe the
wall, what would a large delta attack do?”
“Good question,” Dan said, “Steve, Alex, are
you up to it?”
“Don’t see why not,” Steve said, putting his
fist out.
“I’m game,” Alex said, touching his fist to
Steve’s.
“Alright!” Dan said, touching his fist to
those of the other two, completing the link and forming the triangle. The
three then closed their eyes and concentrated on their elements, lifting
off of the ground a few inches.
Elsewhere on Mars, the remaining Warriors and
the Sailor Senshi were marching towards the desert, where Naomi and the
other third types had reported the army to be. As they emerged over the
peak of a ridge, laser fire cut through the air. Fortunately nobody fell
from the first salvo, but there were a couple of laser burns and some singed
hair.
Jack let out a colorful curse under his breath
before saying, “It’s an ambush!”
“What gave that away, smarty pants?!” Serena
said sarcastically.
“We don’t have time to argue now,” Mina said,
stepping between the pair.
“Yeah guys,” Lita added, “we’re under attack,
so worry about that now and argue later.”
“Well, let’s kick some butt!” Rei said, producing
her flame bow. She peeked over the ridge, then poked her bow out. She drew
back the string, an arrow of fire forming. She then released the arrow,
which soared through the air and struck a robot warrior, scrapping it instantly.
Unfortunately the attack alerted other warriors to where Mars was hiding.
More laser fire cut through the air, many of which struck around Rei, with
a couple singing her raven hair. She ducked as quickly as she could, cursing
under her breath.
“We’re really in it deep,” Derek said.
“Totally,” Nicole said.
“They’ve pretty much got us pinned down,”
Bryan said.
“I’m not giving up,” Rachel said, unclipping
her chakram. She leapt into the air, producing her shield while she leapt,
and lobbed her chakram at one of the robots. The whirling blade struck
one robot, ricocheted and struck three more, rebounded off of a tank, struck
five more robots, and returned to Rachel’s hand. She clipped her boomerang
back to her belt and landed back behind the dune. A couple of seconds later
more laser fire flew over their heads.
“Damnit!” Jennifer cursed, “We’re toast.”
“Maybe not,” John Kersy said, “We need some
cover to begin with.”
“You got it,” Jubilee said, “Rachel, Ami,
John, Bryan. Let’s show these bolt brains what it means to be with the
Senshi.”
“The five leapt into the air and proceeded
to provide cover for their friends.
“Shabon Spray!”
“Mercury Bubbles Blast!”
“Desert Storm Shroud!”
“Rainbow Borealis Flash!”
While the other four attacked head on, Jubilee
used her mutant power to blast the robots with fireworks. Once visibility
was reduced to practically zero, everyone either activated their visors
or located somebody with a visor before they took on the enemy.
“Mars Firestorm Flash!”
“Owwww! Watch it pyro! You singed my hair!”
“Quake Control 9.5!”
“Aaaaah... landslide!”
“Hang ten! Mercury Ice Bubbles Freeze!”
The bubbles burst forth and froze the land
beneath their feet, creating a giant surf bored of sorts, which mowed over
the enemy and buried them in sand, not to mention crushed them beneath
the incredible weight of the frozen mass. Once the ice flow came to a halt,
everyone piled off of the frozen chunk of the sand and looked around. Everywhere
there was bits and pieces of broken up robots.
“Dude!” Justin said, “What happened?”
“I’d have to say that we happened,” Lydia
said.
“So... the army is toast, right?” Serena asked.
“Damn straight!” Nate said.
“So what is our new objective?” Mina asked.
“Yeah,” Alexandra said, “where do we go from
here?"
“Probably where the warriors are,” Cathy said,
“Jubes, can you track them?”
“Possibly,” Jubilee said, reaching for her
mini computer. A shocked look washed over her face a moment later. She
groaned and said, “I think I lost it.”
“How can you possibly lose your computer?”
“It must have fallen out of my uniform when
the landslide started.”
“Oh, that’s just PEACHY!”
“Not really all that bad,” Derek said, thumping
his staff on the ice mass, “it’s got to be someplace near...”
He cut off as a loud CRUNCH filled the air.
Sheer terror filled his face as he lifted up his staff. He bent down, reached
into the hole, and pulled out the crunched and crumpled remains of Jubilee’s
computer.
“Oops,” he said.
“Oh, now that’s just prime!” Cathy said. Derek
and Jubilee whipped around at the same time and said, “Shut up Cathy!”
Cathy shut her mouth faster than anyone had ever seen.
“Alright,” Jess said, “now how do we locate
the others?”
“I’m pretty sure John can track them,” Jenn
said, “hey bro, how about scanning for us?”
“Working on it,” John said, activating his
own visor and Mercury computer. A couple of minutes later he deactivated
his visor and put away his computer. “They’re at the gravity dome in Juno
City,” he said.
“Isn’t that where the Spice Girls are?” Alison
and Alyssa asked in unison.
“THE SPICE GIRLS?!” everyone exclaimed, imagining
meeting their favorite Spice Girl.
“Oh Geri!” Derek drooled.
“Emma,” Mike sighed.
“Victoria!” Ryan and Dave purred.
“Mel B!” Artemis drooled. Mina gave him a
gentle kick.
“Mel C!” Jim, Joss, and Tony sighed.
“We must get to them!” Josh said.
“We need a way to get to them,” Naomi said,
“the others don’t know what kind of trouble they’re in.”
“Right,” Michelle said, “Derek, Susana, open
a gateway.”
“All right,” Susana said, “Derek, are you
ready for this?”
“Yeah,” Derek said. The two crossed their
staffs and said, in unison, “Dark Dome Open.”
A giant portal opened before them, violet
and blue swirling around outside the tunnel. On the other side they could
see the gravity dome in its grand splendor. The group piled in, colored
lights and mist swirling about them as they walked. The portal closed behind
them and they began their journey to the gravity dome.
“Yo tell me what you want, what you really,
really want.”
“If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with
my friends. Make it last forever. Friendship never ends. If you wanna be
my lover, you have got to give. Taking is too easy but that’s the way it
is.”
“If you wanna be my lover, you gotta, you
gotta, you gotta just Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, slam your body down and wind it all
around. Slam your body down a zig - a - zig ah!”
“If you wanna be my lover.”
The act ended with a massive pyro technics
display of red, white, blue, and gold. Once the smoke cleared, Geri Halliwell,
a.k.a. Ginger Spice, came over the sound system.
“Welcome to the Spice World, Spice System
tour. We’re here to spice up your life!”
“And that’s just what we’re going to do!”
came from the shadows. The spotlight whipped around to the source of the
voices and revealed Tetsuo, Kain, Kagato, and Sailor Galaxia.
“I sense the Sailor Senshi,” Galaxia said.
“I sense many powers,” Kain said, “some weak,
some strong.”
“And some right on top of us,” Kagato said,
pointing up. The four looked to the ceiling to see dark energy sparking
and a portal opening. From the portal came the delta bubble containing
the warriors whom Tetsuo had captured. Once the bubble was through, the
portal sealed and the bubble burst, sending the warriors towards the floor.
Unfortunately the four evil entities were beneath the falling warriors
and ended up being crushed by the weight.
“Anyone know what we landed on?” Doug asked.
“I don’t know,” Richard said, “all I know
is that something hard and metallic is jabbing me in the thigh.”
“Mmmm hmmmmmmmup mmmmmummph!!” Alex mumbled.
“Hey, leave my mom out of this!”
Darren and Dan each grabbed one of Alex’s
flailing legs and extracted him from the pile of bodies. Once Alex was
free, his attention was caught by the five beautiful women off to the side
of the stage.
“Hello,” Alex said, still upside down.
“Hi there,” Emma Bunton, a.k.a. Baby Spice,
said.
“She spoke to me,” Alex drooled, “Baby Spice
spoke to me.”
“What’s up with him?” Mel B, a.k.a. Scary
Spice, asked Dan.
“He’s totally gaga over you girls,” Dan said,
fighting to maintain control.
“Well, how come you aren’t affected by our
visual psychological tactics?” Geri asked.
“Say what?!” Darren exclaimed.
“She means our sex appeal,” Victoria Adams,
a.k.a. Posh Spice, responded.
“Um, are those big ugly things O.K.?” Emma
asked, pointing to the four bodies on the floor.
*groan* “Yeah, just peachy,” Kagato moaned,
“Galaxia, you have got to start wearing spandex or something less... metallic.
It’s like landing on knives.”
“Shut up, Mister 400 pound armored body,”
Galaxia hissed at Kagato, “You should be glad you didn’t land on my sword!”
“Will you quit squabbling and get off of me?!”
Tetsuo shouted, “The two of you are turning me into a pancake!”
As the four argued on, another portal opened
and out stepped the Sailor Senshi and the remaining warriors, all quite
tired from their ordeal in the desert.
“That was a trip!” Tony exclaimed as he stumbled
out of the portal.
“No kidding,” Ben said, “that must have been
the longest portal in history.”
“Can you blame us?” Derek asked, “We can only
bend time and space to a certain extent.
“Yeah,” Susana said, “we may be super humans,
but we aren’t gods.
“You could have tried to make the ride smoother,”
Justin whined, “I felt like I was going to....”
“Can it St. Laurant!” Bryan snarled, turning
and pointing his pike at Justin.
“Yeah. Susana and Derek did all that they
could,” Sailor Vesta said, “you could at least thank them instead of bitch
about everything.”
“I agree with Vesta,” Sailor Ceres said, “they
did all that they could to get us here so don’t complain about it.”
“Thank you Vesta, Ceres,” Susana said.
“You’re welcome,” Vesta and Ceres said in
unison.
“So, who do we have here?” Jordan asked, pointing
to the four forces of evil. This snapped everyone’s attention to the real
trouble.
“I’m pretty sure the little punk is Tetsuo,”
Josh said, “and he looks better than he did the last time we saw him.”
“I’ll second that,” Jason said, his left eyebrow
twitching, ‘I’m gonna make him pay for the last time our paths crossed!’
“You’re gonna die..... again!” Tetsuo exclaimed,
summoning a force wave to attack the group. Alex activated his shield and
leapt in front of the wave, bracing for impact. The wave hit him with the
force of a train, throwing Alex through the air and shattering his shield.
By now Galaxia was back on her feet and was
squaring off against the Sailor Senshi.
“Did you miss me?” Galaxia asked sarcastically.
“Um... nope,” Lizz said, “not like I remember
you.”
“Never gave it a thought,” Brian said, “though
I wish I could say the feeling was mutual.”
“Who are you again?” Juliet asked. A sweat
drop formed on Galaxia’s head.
“I am your worst nightmare!” Galaxia shouted,
preparing to attack. She was ready to release when a gruff male voice called
her back.
“Galaxia, cease and desist!”
“But Dark Ganymede...”
“Dark Ganymede?!” everyone exclaimed in unison,
looking around for Andrew. They didn’t have to look far, for he was with
Tetsuo.
“Well, I thought they had finished you,” Galaxia
said, dropping back.
“No, they simply locked me away for a little
while.”
“And I’ll lock you away again, this time for
good,” Alex moaned, getting to his feet. From his left gauntlet a bow of
gold and silver formed, moving from his wrist to his left hand. He drew
back the string and a golden arrow formed. He released the string, the
arrow sailing through the air and striking Dark Ganymede in the left thigh.
Alex drew back the string again, another arrow forming. He released again
and the second arrow struck Dark Ganymede in the right shoulder. As he
prepared for another attack, though, Adderson leapt in between Alex and
Ganymede.
“What are you doing?!” Alex demanded, a deep
growl in his voice.
“Keeping you from doing something you’ll regret
later on in life,” Adderson said, “we can free Andrew again, but first
we must defeat Kain, Kagato, Tetsuo, and Galaxia.”
“All right then,” Alex said, hooking the bow
onto the back of his armor. He then drew his star sword and joined the
others in battle.
“Good to see you’re ready to fight,” Crystal
said, blocking an energy bolt with her spear.
“It’s great to be back,” Alex said, grinning
before striking a battle stance.
“You’re going to die, die, DIE!!!” Tetsuo
shouted, destroying part of the stage with a force blast.
“We gotta help them,” Geri said while the
girls were hiding back stage.
“What do you suggest?” Victora asked.
“How about we shut off the gravity,” Mel C
suggested, “It’ll really shake up their lives.”
“That just might work,” Geri said, “any idea
where the gravity control is?”
“I think I found it,” Emma said, motioning
for the others to come to her. Once the other four were there, Geri said,
“O.K., once we flip this switch, prepare to transform.”
“Right!” the other four said. Geri punched
the switch, reversing the gravity and sending everyone still in the dome
towards the ceiling. Once they were floating the Spice Girls sang their
own power up song.
“We are hot and we are nice, we call upon
the power of Spice.
Once the remaining members of the Star Warriors
reached the Mars Police HQ, they were directed to the underground lab where
the super sized portal generator rested. Upon entering the room Alex exclaimed,
“Woah, the satellite!”
“You might say that,” Eddie said, indicating
the portal generator, “it’s an old amusement park ride which I helped to
rig up with portal generating hardware and software.”
“All aboard,” Naomi said from the main gate
on the ride, “last call for the trip back to 1998!”
The nine Star Warriors climbed the stairs,
found their spots on the ride, and strapped in. Naomi gave the thumbs up
and Eddie flipped the switch. The ride began to spin, slowly at first,
but at a faster and faster pace until there was a flash of light and a
crackle of energy which sent the warriors and sailor soldiers through time
and space and back to their own time and place. Once the ride spun down
again it was empty, leaving the laboratory in complete silence. The heroes
were on their way home.
Back in 1998, on university grounds, the large field before the Field House to be precise, many forms appeared in a large pile of bodies. Once they separated into their assorted groups, many teleported back to their homes while those who went to the university returned to their dorms and apartments in order to rest from their adventure. But there was to be no rest for the weary.
To Be Continued...
