The Mutant Crew
in:
School Daze.

     It was a day like any other for Alex West and the Mutant Crew of Newport, NH.  Get up in the morning, go to school, fall into a deep sleep in a certain class.  Nothing unusual except for the last one, for in every class a certain Mark Mosconas taught, the students were drained of their energy and sent into a deep hypnotic slumber.
     On a certain Friday after the rebuilding of the school, Alex and his friends Matt Emmerton, Tony Clough, and Jess Philbrook were sitting in their D - block chemistry class.  One moment they're just beginning class.  The next moment class is over and everyone has a headache.  On top of that no one could remember what happened in class.  Alex found this very strange and called a very important meeting of the Mutant Crew.
     "What is this about?!"  Steve Huff asked as he entered Alex's basement, "I have an important study date!"
     "Yeah,"  Tod Whipple said, "He wants to study his date!"
     "Why, I oughta'... "
     "You oughta' what?"
     "Whipple, you're finished!"
     As the two fought, Alex walked down just in time to be struck in the face by one of Steve's flailing limbs.  Alex, being on edge for quite some time, concentrated all his energy into his mutant abilities.  He made a sign similar to the one Sailor Jupiter makes for her thunder attacks.  A current of electrical energy sparked between the two fingers for a couple seconds before Alex threw his hands forward and released a mighty blast of electrical energy.
     As soon as the energy struck the arguing forms of Steve and Tod, they were blasted backwards to rest against the back wall of the basement.  Alex continued to release energy until the two promised to stop fighting.  When he finally released them, he explained why he had called them there.
     "Guys, we have a real big problem,"  Alex began.
     "And this problem is?"  Jubilee asked.
     "Since they rebuilt the school, chemistry class has been, well, draining."
     "How so?"  Cathy asked, "I mean, it already puts people to sleep."
     "Well, someone is draining energy after putting the class into a hypnotic trance."
     "This whole thing is giving me a migraine,"  Matt added, "I go in there feeling fine and when I get out I have a splitting headache!"
     "I say we do something about this rather quick,"  Jess said.
     "Well, first we need to get some readings on the hypnotic waves that are doing this,"  Juliet said, "Alex, is there any way you can get a tape recorder into chemistry tomorrow?"
     "No sweat,"  Alex said, "and I can pretty much predict that you want me to record the teacher's voice so you can transfer it into the computer and find out about the waves.  Am I correct?"
     "Um... yeah, that's correct.  Whatever."
     "Now that that's taken care of, I close this meeting with a large bacon and green pepper pizza!"

     The next afternoon when Alex entered chemistry class, he immediately activated the tape recorder in his backpack.  From the moment the teacher entered, Alex, Matt, Tony, and Jess knew this wasn't going to be an ordinary class.
     "Ok class,"  Mr. Mosconas said, "it's time to learn about energy transfer, mainly, you giving your energy to the negaverse!"
     As he said that, he changed to his true form, which was the hypnotic creature the Mutant Crew battled after their encounter with the Seyians.  When the four young mutants saw this, they ducked beneath counters in order to avoid being drained.
     "We need to get the students out of here!"  Tony said, looking at all the people falling asleep.
     "Time for a bit of mind power,"  Jess said, focusing her psychic energy into four shuriken, "Time to have a blast!"
     With that, Jess exposed herself for a second while she launched the projectiles at the "teacher".  The creature absorbed the energy and redirected it back at her.  Jess ducked in time to avoid receiving a bad hair cut.
     "Time to heat things up,"  Matt said, a pinpoint of flame flickering to life at the tip of his finger, "Point Flare!"
     Matt stuck his upper body out from beneath the table and launched a beam of flame at the creature.  The creature was soon engulfed in a wall of flames, but that wasn't enough to solve their problem.  The creature spewed a chilling blast at Matt, sealing him in a solid block of ice instantly.
     "We're toast!"  Tony said, overreacting, as usual.
     "The calvary has arrived!"  a voice called from the door way.
     With that all the lights went out and several forms leapt in, taking up strategic positions around the monster.  But before any of them could attack, the creature used a hypnotic wave to turn all the students against them.  But one particular student managed to break free of the hypnotic influence and join the Mutant Crew in their battle.
     "Triple Kick!"
     As the form leapt into the air, everyone else could see who the attacker was.
     "Brian Huot!?"  Amanda gasped in shock from the ceiling, "He's one of us!?"
     "He is pretty strong and powerful,"  Jess said, "but how could he possibly be a mutant?!"
     "Who cares!"  Jubilee snarled from the back of the room, "At any rate he's giving us a hand and a fighting chance!"
     Just then a small explosion rocked the room, followed by another and another.  It seemed like the school was going to explode for a couple moments until someone used a special attack they'd been saving for such an occasion.
     "Blizzard Chill!"
     As the temperature dropped suddenly, the explosions, not to mention the hypnotized students, stopped.
     "We need to get everyone outside pronto!"  Dan said, "It's not safe in here!"
     "I'll give them a lift,"  Juliet said, "Scout Teleport!"
     Everyone in the room disappeared in a shower of crescent moons, only to reappear in the dimension where Crescent Moon Island was located.  All the mutants, including Brian, regrouped and took to the air, finding refuge on the island until they could think of a plan.
     As soon as they landed, Brian said, "Woah, that was quite a rush!  Do you guys travel like that all the time?"
     "You'll find out everything later,"  Derek said, "but for now we need to get the students free from the creature's control and get them back to school!"
     "I'll take care of that one,"  Juliet said, "Scout Teleport!"
     Once again the students were sent through time and space, only to reappear in the chemistry lab.  When they awoke they heard some mumbling from the teacher's closet.  When they opened it, Mr. Mosconas tumbled out.  It seems like the monster tied him up and hid him when the whole incident began.

     Meanwhile, the Mutant Crew wasn't doing too well against the monster, for it was launching assorted chemicals in their direction, causing everyone to run like the wind.
     At one point, about half an hour into the battle, Lizz finally got fed up with the whole thing.
     "I'm going to take out the trash!"  she said, "I call forth the dark powers of the Black Hole!"
     As she said that, a large portal of dark energy opened up around the monster and began to suck in everything around it.  A couple seconds later it closed, but without taking the monster with it.
     "Let's see about freezing it,"  Joss said, "or at least stop it's time stream.
     "Let's boogie!"  Jess and Richard said, preparing for their duel attack.
     With that, Jess began to dance and twirl as Richard cast a time stopping bubble around her.  Jess spun around the monster and the area until a ghostly clock appeared for a split second and froze the monster in place.
     "Time to finish the creature!"  Brian said, "Anyone for the Gattling Kick!?"
     "I'm game,"  Dan said, "Fire!"
     "Let's give this guy the boot!"  Alex said, "Lightning!"
     "Triple Kick!"
     As soon as the three were ready, they called a phrase that brought it together.
     "Gattling Kick!"
     With that phrase, the fire and lightning formed a large orb.  Brian kicked through it, bringing it with him as he started the second phase.  He kicked around the monster until the orb crashed down around him.  He finally went into a tail spin move, which finished the attack and severely injured the monster.
     "One more time!"  Richard said, "But this time with feeling!"
     His comment was quickly met with moans and groans.
     "We need to finish this and quick,"  Derek said, "class is about to end!"
     "Ok, fine,"  Lizz said, "Let's get going!  Hexagon Myst!"
     "Dark Gear!"  was called upon by Derek.
     "Point Flare!"  was used by Matt!
     "Luminair!"  blasted forth from Alex.
     "Evil Star!"  greatly reduced the monster's life energy thanks to Richard.
     "Time for the finishing move!"  Joss said, "Amanda, Juliet, you assistance please."
     "Let's get busy,"  Amanda said, "Tail Spin!"
     "I'm up for the challenge,"  Juliet said, "Lunar Whirl!"
     "Time to finish it!"  Joss said, "Cyclone!"
     With that Joss jumped onto Amanda's shoulders.  Juliet jumped onto Joss's shoulders and they called the final phrase.
     "Twister!"
     Twin tornadoes erupted as they spun around, taking care of the monster's remaining energy and finishing off his body.  When they stopped, they still continued to spin around on their own like they were drunk.  As they stopped their drunken waltz, the launched their lunches over the edge of the island onto the forest below.  With everything done, they transported back to school.
     When they arrived, everything and everyone was back to normal.  Unfortunately, the Mutant Crew got to spend their afternoon in detention for cutting class.

The End.
(not quite)

     Later that afternoon, the principal, Judyanne Langlois, walked past the detention hall and just happened to peek in and see the Mutant Crew.
     "What are your guys and girls doing in here?"  she asked.
     "We were accused of cutting class,"  Richard said.
     "I'm sure you have a valid reason, fighting evil and all."
     "Oh, we do,"  Alex said, "this whole mess began after we vanquished the Seyians.  We met with a hypnotic monster who said we hadn't seen the last of him  He took over teaching Chemistry for Mr. Mosconas and we warped him to another dimension and defeated him.  But when we get back, we get office detention!"
     "You did explain all that to the teacher, right?!"
     "That we did,"  Brian said, "everything up to the point where we returned by Scout Teleport."
     "Well, I'm letting you go.  You're needed elsewhere, anyway.  It seems like that creature returned and is currently messing with everyone's minds!"
     "No rest for the weary!"  Dan said as they left.
     They soon found the monster, or rather, four monsters, for it had called in some of its friends.
     "So, you're back for more,"  the monster said, "well, prepare to be defeated!"
     "I don't be thinking so,"  Jess said, taking out her Mars prism, "Ok scouts, prepare for transformation!"
     "Right!"  the other nine scouts said, taking out their power items and preparing to transform.
     "Mars Prism Power!"
     "Mercury Prism Power!"
     "Venus Prism Power!"
     "Jupiter Prism Power!"
     "Moon Cosmic Power!"
     "Saturn Planet Power!"
     "Uranus Planet Power!"
     "Pluto Planet Power!"
     "Neptune Planet Power!"
     "Sun Cosmic Power!"
     As soon as the Sailor Scouts had powered up, they surrounded the monsters and said the one phrase they used most often.
     "Scout Teleport!"
     The teleport took all of the Mutant Crew and the monsters and dumped them in the middle of a large clearing in a dark and humid forest.  The four monsters, seeing a good chance to attack, leapt into the air and formed a large diamond.
     "Dark powers!"  they all called, each radiating an aura of dark energy.  The auras formed a large sphere of dark energy, which launched a beam of dark energy when they called the attack phrase.
     "Doom Blaster!"
     The blast sent all of the Mutant Crew flying, separating them in this mysterious world.
     The five Sailor Scouts known as Sailors Sun, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn somehow managed to keep together.  But it wasn't really wise to do so when being blasted over a large cliff.  Dan regained consciousness the same time the other four did.  He saw the predicament they were in and used the one power her possessed that could save them.
     "Solar... Flaming Whip!"
     The mighty blast of solar energy formed a powerful whip that wrapped around a large outcropping of rocks.  When his momentum was stopped, Dan reached out and grabbed hold of Tony's foot, who grabbed onto Joss's belt, who caught Derek's hand, who caught hold of Alex's collar, who lost his lunch all over the surrounding area.
     As soon as everyone recovered from the shock of their situation, they devised a plan to get out of their odd predicament.
     "It's time for a Scout Teleport!"  Tony said, "Ready guys?"
     "I'll start it,"  Alex said, "Saturn Planet Power!"
     "Neptune Planet Power!"
     "Uranus Planet Power!"
     "Pluto Planet Power!"
     "Sun Cosmic Power!"
     As soon as their powers combined, they called the much used phrase that would save them.
     "Scout Teleport!"
     As soon as they were safely on the ground, they made their way through the woods back to the clearing.

     The other five Sailor Scouts, known as Sailors Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus were still sailing through the air when they awoke from the blast.  When they saw how much trouble they were in, they linked hands and prepared for a teleport.
     "Time to vanish,"  Juliet said, "Moon Cosmic Power!"
     "Mercury Prism Power!"
     "Jupiter Prism Power!"
      "Mars Prism Power!"
      "Venus Prism Power!"
     They, too, used the phrase to send them to safety.
      "Scout Teleport!"
     When they, too, were on level ground, they made their way to the clearing.

     The remaining chunk of the Mutant Crew found themselves in multiple situations that stretched their talents to the maximum level.
     Amanda, Tod, Steve, and Brian ended up in a ravine.  They ended up using a duel flying move to get out of it.  Richard and Matt, being the only two who didn't get a powerful dose of the blast, only had a short walk to the clearing.

     When everyone arrived at the clearing, they created a circle, each standing back to back, ready to defeat the four evils that had sent them sprawling everywhere.  When the four monsters showed up, they were surprised to see how ready the Mutant Crew was.
     "Ya' ready to be blasted again?"  the leader said, "'Cause we're ready to blow ya' away again!"
     "I don't think so,"  Juliet said, taking out her Crescent Moon Wand, "On behalf of the moon I will defeat you."
     With that she aimed her wand at the monsters and said, "Cosmic Moon Powers!"
     The moon beams temporarily incapacitated the monsters, who eventually managed to form their diamond of dark energy and charge up their doom beam blaster.
     "Shadow Doom Blaster!"
     The beam of evil energy met the beam of moon energy, each equally matched.  When the remaining nine Sailor Scouts saw this, they each touched a hand to the wand in hopes of defeating the monsters.
     "Mercury Prism Power!"
     "Mars Prism Power!"
     "Jupiter Prism Power!"
     "Venus Prism Power!"
     "Saturn Planet Power!"
     "Neptune Planet Power!"
     "Uranus Planet Power!"
     "Pluto Planet Power!"
     "Sun Cosmic Power!"
     As the remaining nine planet powers united with the moon powers, a mighty blast formed.  Juliet then called the final phrase, which was pretty much forbidden unless needed.
     "Cosmic Moon Powers.... Unite!"
     The mighty blast of planet power destroyed the four creatures and freed tall who had been affected by the creatures' evil.  When the lights died down, they could see they had been victorious.  But the drain had been a great one on the Sailor Scouts, who were now in human form, their power items shattered beside them.  Slowly they woke up, only to discover their scout powers had been neutralized and they had no other way to get home.
     Suddenly, Alex had an idea.  He took the Lunar Teleporter from his coat pocket, held it up, and shouted, "Saturn Powers!"
     A mighty blast of ice and an explosion of rocks and he had once again become Sailor Saturn.
     "Hey, I just found our ticket home,"  he said, "all Sailor Scouts, put your hand on the transporter and call on your respective power!"
     "Whatever,"  Lizz said, "Jupiter Powers!"
     "Venus Powers!"
     "Mars Powers!"
     "Mercury Powers!"
     "Moon Powers!"
     "Sun Powers!"
     "Neptune Powers!"
     "Pluto Powers!"
     "Uranus Powers!"
     As soon as they all transformed, they held onto the transporter and called, "Scout Power!"
     With that, they disappeared, only to reappear at the school.  They all grabbed their gear and headed for Alex's, their latest adventure over.
     Once at Alex's, they ordered ten large pizzas and pigged out like they'd never done before.  Satisfied with their meal, they all fell into a deep, psychic induced sleep.

The End.
