It was a hot day under the Florida sun.  The Mutant Crew had decided to take a vacation and go to Orlando, Florida, with the High School band.  The cost was $550 per person, but nobody really cared.  Even the Outer Senshi and those who weren't in the band came up with the cash for the trip.
     The bus ride down was completely uneventful, except for when Jess ignited the methane swamps in South Carolina and the north part of Florida, and the time Jubilee used her Shine Aqua Illusion attack for the assassin game and left a permanent mark of a person's body in the back end of the bus.
     The moment they arrived at the hotel, everyone headed for their rooms in order to be presentable for strolling up and down the boulevard.  While most people chose to walk, the Starlights, the Outer Senshi, the Sailor Senshi, and the Star (Gemini) Senshi rented a super stretch limo so they might travel in style.
     The hours passed by quickly for those in the limo.  They stopped at every major mall, etc. and took in all the sights, the sounds, and the food.  But on their way back to the hotel something happened.
     As they were about to turn the corner, a red lambourghini whizzed by them and came close to causing an accident.  Jess and Alex picked up on the vibes right away.
     "The Negaverse is here,"  Jess said.
     "Quickly,"  Alex exclaimed as he hopped into the front seat next to Shirly, "Follow that car!"
     Shirly put the pedal to the metal and they took off at 115 MPH.  They quickly caught up to the other car.  Jess opened the moon roof and crawled halfway out.  She took out an anti - evil charm and prepared to stun.
     "Ok, Negaverse trash,"  she said, "I've always wanted to try this on a moving target.  I call upon the powers of Mars.... Fireballs CHARGE!"
     The tiny scroll defied all the laws of physics and nature as it passed effortlessly through the wind and the window.  The scroll then connected with the person's face and stunned them.  But when the person went limp, they lead footed the gas and took off at top speed.
     When the Mutant Crew saw the car heading right for a group of their friends, they literally lept into action by leaping out of the moon roof.  They transformed in mid - air and prepared for power moves.
     "Time for a double catch,"  Dan and Amanda said at the same time, "Flaming Whip!"
     As the twin whips wrapped around the rear spoiler, Cathy used her Love - Me - Chain to get another angle on the situation.  Jubilee used her Shine Aqua Illusion combined with her Ice Bubbles to freeze the street in front of the car.  With all the powers working on the car, nobody took into account the stress factor involved.  The front of the car tore away from the back, sending everyone into disarray.  With only seconds to spare Alex materialized his Star Sword and went into his attack move.
     "Oh mighty Orion, guide my blade sure and true.  Orion... Star Sword Slash!"
     The beam of energy slashed a gap in the street so the car, upon hitting it, would swerve away from their friends.  Once the front end of the car stopped, everyone gathered around to see what had been captured.
     When they looked in, they received a humongous scare, for all that was in the driver's seat was a skeleton, complete with dark driving glasses and gloves.
     "This makes no sense,"  Richard said upon examining the skeleton.
     "Nobody's disagreeing with you,"  Jubilee said sarcastically.
     Just then ambulance sirens cut the air in the distance.  As they approached, the group could tell that they were no ordinary sirens and the vehicle was no ordinary ambulance.
     As the strange ambulance came to a halt, four men and a woman stepped out, each clad in some sort of jump suit.  They all wore sophisticated back packs, each one with a wand of sorts attached.  The five people pointed at the Mutant Crew and prepared to fire.
     The Mutant Crew, being as ready as ever, moved in to attack stances and prepared for a fight.  Silence fell heavy upon the area, the only sounds their breathing and the occasional pop of Nichole's bubble gum.  The final sound before the intense wave of energy was one of the people yelling "Fire!"

     As the energy approached the group, there was a yell from above.
     "Wind Whip!"
     A blast of wind smashed against the people's hands, disengaging the power to the wands and drawing blood from the backs of their hands.  The person who wielded the power of wind landed near the Mutant Crew and prepared for her intro.
     "I command the winds of change.  I am Sailor Io!"  the person said, "And the next person who even thinks of blasting will be at the mercy of the winds."
     The five people went into a huddle for a couple minutes before turning back to the Mutant Crew and standing down their weapons.
     "We... apologize for acting so rash,"  the female said as she began to walk towards the group.  But a wave of weapons and Senshi with their attacks prepared aimed in her direction told her to stay where she was.
     "O.... kay,"  she said, backing up to rejoin the four men, "I'm getting a hostile feeling from all of you."
     "Now just hold on one second,"  the dark skinned man of the group said, stepping forward, "What's the big idea of.... "
     "Winston, back OFF!!"  the female bellowed, the sheer power of her voice blasting her four male friends against their car, "Now, to be more diplomatic.  I am Jenine Melnetz, the leader of this group."
     Her comment was met with some steam blowing from the noses of two of her companions.  She continued her introductions.
     "The one I yelled at is Winston Zeddmore.  The redhead who is trying to avoid blowing his top is Ray Stans.  The brunette who is in the process of having a meltdown is the not so professional Dr. Peter Venkman, and the one with his nose stuck in instrument readings is Egon Spenglar.  We are the Ghost Busters!"
     "Whatever,"  Alex said, stepping forward, "I'm Sailor Star Dancer and these are the Starlights,"  he said, pointing to Chris, Ryan, and Eddie, "These are Sailors Star Fighter, Star Healer, and Star Maker"
     "We are the Outer Senshi,"  Amanda, Alexandra, Shirly, Michelle, and Nichole said, all stepping forward.

     When the Star Senshi saw the beasts leaping for Sailor Star Dancer, they turned around and prepared to attack.
     "Time to save our great leader once again,"  Sailor Hellfire said in a sarcastic tone of voice, "Magma Tsunami!"
     A wave of molten rock washed over the area, trapping the four monsters in a rocky prison.  A couple seconds later the rock shattered and the monsters were free again.
     "Let's put them on ice,"  Sailor Arctic Chill said, "Hypothermic Freeze Suspension!"
     Four cylinders of blue light formed around the creatures, each cylinder becoming an icy prison.  With the creatures captured it was time to finish them.
     "Time to finish this charade,"  Sailor FireStar said, "Shatter Star Break!"
     A large star formed and broke into smaller stars which rained down and destroyed three of the cylinders, leaving the forth one in one piece.  Unfortunately, a stray star cracked open the cylinder and released the beast.
     When Sailor Thunderbolt saw the creature leaping into action, he lept into the air and let his temper fly.
     "Time to jolt this jerk into submission!"  he said, "Aurora Flash!"
     Many intense flashes of light erupted around the creature, stunning it and eventually burning it to a crisp  The Senshi, seeing the final monster destroyed, tediously stepped towards the vehicle, unsure of what may be lurking inside.
     Sailor Hellfire opened the door slowly as Sailor Saturn and Sailor Io trained their weapons upon whatever may be inside the automobile.  There, sitting inside the back seat were the real Ghost Busters, all hog tied and sitting in their underwear.
     Sailor Star Dancer leaned into the car, grabbed hold of the tape over the woman's mouth and pulled.  Once the woman calmed down, Sailor Star Dancer said, "Jenine Melnetz, I presume."  "Yeah, that's me.  Who are you guys anyway?  And why are you dressed that way?"
     "We,"  Sailor Io said, "are the Sailor Senshi, protectors and defenders of love and justice."
     "And we just save you from something from the Negaverse,"  Sailor Saturn added.
     "Yeah, whatever,"  Peter said, "Now will you untie us?"
     "We'll think about it,"  Alex said, "Guys, what do you think?  Should we untie them or not?"
     A wave of boo's and hisses answered the question quickly.
     "Well, I'll untie Janine and leave the rest up to you."
     As soon as Alex untied Janine, she hopped behind the wheel of the car, turned over the engine, and floored it.  The car then took off like a shot, laying rubber the whole way.  As soon as the car vanished into the distance, the Sailor Senshi returned to their regular forms and the four new Sailors vanished, their identities a secret until a later time.

     The next morning was the competition, so everyone needed to get a good night's sleep.  Unfortunately for Alex, one of his roommates had a sleep walking problem.
     About two in the morning there was a loud knock at the door.  Alex, being half asleep, mumbled, "We don't want any!" before pulling the covers over his head.  The knocking continued for many minutes, causing Justin St.Laurant, Alex's other roommate, to arise from his bed and mumble, "Who ordered pizza at this hour?!"
     As Justin opened the door, in stumbled John Kersy, Alex's first roommate.  He soon explained his predicament and why he was outside in his boxer shorts.
     "... and I ran through two doors,"  John explained, "and when I heard the door slam I woke up to find myself outside the room!"
     "That's just great!"  Alex said, "Well, I'm going to lock the door to prevent that from happening again!"
     Later that morning, five to be exact, there was another loud knock at the door that cause the three to go into shock.  The rapping continued, non stop, until Alex finally became so enraged he cast a Luscent Beam spell that slid through the peep hole and half blinded the person.
     Half an hour later the phone rang, causing them to go into shock once again.  Alex levitated the receiver and spoke in a monotone voice.
     "You have reached room 317.  Sorry we can't take your call right now, but we're trying to sleep.  Please leave your name, room number, and your message at the tone and we'll get back to you as soon as we can."
     As the person at the other end tried to speak, Alex slammed the receiver back down with a force wave.  The trio then went back to sleep.  An hour later Alex's internal alarm went off, waking him up instantly.  He quickly performed all his morning tasks before waking the other two.
     John and Justin awoke to find Alex dressed in his band uniform, which made him look like Tuxedo Mask.  When the two tried to go back to sleep, Alex levitated them out of bed and into a freezing cold shower.  Screams of shock filled the room as the two sleeping people were frozen awake.  Once the shock wore off, Alex said, "Now that you're up, you might as well get dressed.  We leave for breakfast in half an hour!"
     By the time the other two were ready, it was time to leave.  As they piled onto the bus, Alex cast a Speed Up spell on everyone, giving them enough energy to get through breakfast.  Once breakfast was through, he cast a Lunar Boost spell on everyone, super charging them for the competition.  Little did anyone know that it would be a day to remember.

     After the bands warmed up, the Outer Senshi went to sit in the audience in order to watch.  Tod, Cathy, Jess, and Tony stood off to the sides of the stage because Mrs. Holly Hoke knew their magic spells would come in handy.  Lizz and Matt took up positions by the doors.
     As the first jazz band piece, titled Moondance, began, the four off to the sides summoned their elementals in order to begin the light show.
     "Lumina,"  Cathy said, "aim a Luscent Beam at the chandelier above the audience, but avoid breaking the chain."
     "Right,"  the small being of light said, "Luscent Beam."
     Four beams of light converged on the chandelier, illuminating the room for a couple seconds.
     "Ok Luna,"  Tod said as he summoned one of his elementals, "Let's dazzle them with Lunar Magic."
     "Will do,"  the angelic being said, "Lunar Magic."
     Crescent moons, sparkles, and stars rained down throughout the auditorium, giving a fitting display for the song that was playing.
     "Salamando,"  Jess said, summoning the fire elemental, "let's show 'em what exploder power can do."
     "Ok,"  the fiery lizard creature said, "Exploder."
     Waves of flame energy exploded above the audience, giving the cue for the grand finale.
     "Ok Undine,"  Tony said, summoning the water elemental, "time for our grand finale."
     "Shall we use Acid Storm or Freeze?"  the fish - girl asked, appearing in a flash of blue light.
     "Freeze should be appropriate, seeing how hot it is in here."
     "Shall i target the chandeliers?"
     "I think that will be fitting."
     "Ok.  Freeze."
     A shower of ice cubes rained down on the chandeliers, each one breaking into a cold shower of crushed ice while cooling the auditorium to a comfortable level.
     As the piece was about to end, the doors burst open, throwing Matt and Lizz (literally) into the laps of the audience.  There, outlined in the blinding light of the outdoors was yet another Negaverse monster.  As the audience and the band fled screaming from the building, the Mutant Crew went into action.
     "Transformation time!"  Alex said, holding up his pen, "Dancer Star Power... Transform!"
     As soon as Alex began his transformation, the monster belched a fireball which interrupt the transformation process and launched Alex through the air and into Lizz and Matt, who were recovering from the initial shock.  The beast then took off down a hallway with Richard, Brain, Ryan, Jess, and Tony in hot pursuit, the hard soles of their dress shoes striking audibly on the floor, the sound echoing off the walls as they ran.  None of them even thought to transform until they ran head- first into the four Negaverse generals.
     "Malachite.... "  Jess gasped.
     "Zoicite.... "  Richard exclaimed.
     "Jedite.... "  Tony shrieked.
     "Nephlite.... "  Brian and Ryan said at the same time.
     "Those are our names,"  the four generals said, "Now we shall destroy you pesky kids!"
     "Don't be thinking so,"  Jess said, taking her Mars Prism from her pocket, "ready to transform guys?!"
     "Ready!"  the other four said, taking their power items from their pockets.
     "Mars Prism Power... Transform!"
     "Arctic Chill Star Power.... Transform!"
     "Healer Star Power.... Transform!"
     "Neptune Scout's Ring.... Power UP!"
     "Earth Powers.... Transform!"
     No sooner had the Sailors transformed that the generals sent their monster at them.  Each of the Senshi lept in a different direction, dodging the creature's sharp horns.
     Sailor Mars, seeing an opening, let loose a Mars attack.
     "Mars Firebird Strike!"
     The firebird made contact with the monster, but it didn't exactly torch it.  Heck, it made the monster even angrier.  The monster then charged at Sailor Mars.
     Sailor Arctic Chill, seeing Mars was in trouble, used one of his attacks in an attempt to stop the monster.
     "Cold Wildfire!"
     The blast of frigid flames distracted the creature long enough for Mars to move before the creature slammed into the wall.  The monster then turned on Arctic Chill, making him its prime target.
     "I'm getting sick of this,"  Sailor Arctic Chill said, leaping backward over the charging monster, "I call upon the powers of ice and cold to vanquish this evil.  Blizzard Chill!"
     A super cold blizzard formed and dropped the temperature to -145 degrees farenheit.  The Senshi and generals were unaffected by it, but the monster was soon encased in a block of ice.
     "Now for the finishing move,"  Arctic Chill said, "Diamond Saw!"
     Two large snowflakes slashed through the creature, destroying it instantly.  What remained was a bow made of pure ice.  It amazed everyone by vibrating and pointing to Richard.  The bow then flew to his hand, turning him into Super Sailor Arctic Chill.
     "Now to finish these turkeys,"  he said, aiming his bow at the four generals, "Ice Sliver Projectiles!"
     He fired off four arrows which became super sharp icicles.  The projectiles impaled each of the generals, destroying them instantly.  With the generals out of the way, there was nothing left to destroy when the other sailors arrived.
     "You finished them all!!??"  Jubilee asked in disbelief.
     "Yup,"  Richard said, "we, or rather, I, defeated them."
     Cathy mumbled to Lizz, "What an ego!"
     "Yeah,"  Lizz said, "he reminds me of my old boyfriend."
     A large sweat drop appeared on Cathy's head, blocking out half of her face.  Cathy then moaned in displeasure, signaling to all what Lizz had just said.  More sweat drops appeared on everyone's heads.
     After giving Lizz a severe tongue lashing, they returned to the auditorium to finish their performance.

     Later that same day they headed for Wet 'N' Wild water park, the Mutant Crew once again traveling by limo.  When they arrived at the park they heard people screaming and saw many people running from the wave pool.  Once again it was time to battle the forces of evil.
     "Let's go scouts!"  Steve said, holding up his pendant, "Thunderbolt Star Power.... "
     "FireStar Star Power... "
     "Hellfire Star Power.... "
     "Arctic Chill Star Power.... "
     "Dancer Star Power... "
     "MAKE UP!!"
     As their transformations began, they lept through the moon roof.  As they finished their transformations they landed and prepared for battle.  They charged towards the wave pool, each preparing to blow away evil.
     There, in the wave pool, was the ugliest creature they had ever seen.  It was large, slimy, deformed, and appeared to be comprised of human body parts.  The five took one look at the monster before feeling the urge to vomit.  All it took to send them into action was the monster throwing a slimy tentacle in their direction.
     "This is not good!"  FireStar said, super leaping into the air, "This definitely is not good!"
     "I'll see about stopping this creature,"  Hellfire said, "Star Fire Storm!"
     A rain of pure fire burned the beast to a crisp all too quickly.  Unfortunately it had relatives which showed up to avenge the death of the first one.
     As the two creatures began their attack, a shimmer of some sort caught Hellfire's eye.  He flew down to the corpse of the first one and saw the reason for the shimmering; a mighty axe composed of red, yellow, and orange crystal.  He picked it up and became Super Sailor Hellfire. He then turned to the remaining creatures and said, "Prepare to meet your doom!  Blazing Blade Boomerang!"
     He charged his axe with flame energy and began to spin it.  As soon as it became a disk he launched it.  The blade slashed through the first creature, then returned to slash through the second.  When the axe returned, Hellfire shouted, "Thunderbolt!  FireStar!  Use your attacks to finish the job.  I believe these creatures hold your weapons!"
     "Prism Beam!"
     "Aura Shock!"
     As the two attacks struck the creatures, two weapons appeared, one a whip with stars at the end, the other a pair of swords, each in the shape of a lightning bolt around the central blade.  The weapons pointed to their respective owners and returned to their hands, turning the two into Super Sailors Thunderbolt and FireStar.
     With the monsters vanquished, the group returned to their normal forms and rejoined their friends and the band in enjoying the fun and the sun of the water park.

     The next two days were quite normal for everyone, for there were no sightings of Negaverse activity anywhere.  It was so quiet that it made everyone jumpy.  But on the final whole day they were in Florida, something would happen that would make up for the two days of boredom.
     The day was Monday.  The place was Universal Studios Theme Park.  The time was just before opening.  Alex was hanging with Mr. Brian Mary and Mr. Mark MaClain, two of the counselors, and Doug Morse, Brad Cossingham, Brian Huot, John Kersy, Justin St. Laurant, Matt Heath, and Nick Rosato.  As they went around the park, they saw a whole lot of cool stuff.  Finally, they decided to go on 'Back to the Future: the Ride'.
     They got in line and waited.  And waited.  And waited some more.  As they waited, Alex activated his VR visor in order to check for Negaverse activity.  What he discovered was quite shocking to the members of the group.
     As Alex looked around, Matt tapped him on the shoulder.  When Alex snapped his head around, his visor began to register off the scale.  At first he thought it was a glitch, but it turned out to be real when the power levels registered.
     "What's happening?"  Matt asked, shock filling his face.
     "It seems I'm registering you guys as mutants,"  Alex replied, "But that couldn't be true.  Could it?"
     "It's true,"  Doug said, "we discovered our powers a short time ago and spent some time discovering our limits.  I'm a mechanical genius.  Brad can control time and space.  Nick can perform super feats of speed and leaping.  Matt can bring drawings to life.  John can create things out of thin air.  Finally, Justin can manipulate energy to do what he wants."
     "And you never told me?"
     "We weren't ready to join the Mutant Crew,"  Nick said.
     Just then Alex's visor beeped, signaling that it picked up Negaverse activity within the building that the ride was housed in.  At that same moment they were escorted into the ride.  They walked down the hall and shuffled into a small room.
     There they were, a bunch of new mutants with two teachers and a powerful, brilliant person.  As the video clip for the ride played on deaf ears, Alex booted up his micro computer in hopes of this being the correct room.  His readings confirmed it.  Doug, Brian, Brad, Nick, John, Justin, Mr. Mary, and Mr. MaClain gathered in a circle to cheer, "Tigers!" as the video ended, leaving Alex to re- confirm his readings once again.
     The door to the ride opened and they filed in, a single line of bodies in motion.  Alex put his computer away, but reactivated his VR visor.  As they entered the vehicle, Alex's visor began to show some interesting readouts.
     "Alex, why don't you rest for a while?"  Doug suggested, "You keep getting these readings that make no sense to some of us."
     "Well, let me tell you one thing,"  Alex snapped, "this is not, I repeat, NOT, going to be an ordinary ride."
     "How so?"  Brian asked.
     "You'll soon see.  Trust me."
     As the ride was about to commence, Alex took out his computer and began punching in information, commands, etc.  As the ride started up, the car broke free of the floor and the controls became movable.  With Mr. MaClain and Mr. Mary being the ones closest to the steering wheel, they had no clue of what was about to happen.  The car lurched forward, entering the shimmering form of a time - space portal.  Then they were off, moving faster than the speed of light.
     As the speed increased, they traveled through time, Mr. Mary steering with all his life, everyone else screaming like little babies.  When they emerged, they were in the prehistoric era.  They flew, out of control, right for the mouth of a T - Rex.  The large dinosaur saw the car and opened its mouth.  SNAP!  The dinosaur tried to take a bite out of the car, cutting deep into the front end and damaging some important electronics.  The car spun out of control, dropping like a rock towards the lava below.
     Alex, being the only one with his head on straight, told everyone to calm down and he'd take care of it.
     "Prove it!"  Nick said, being disagreeable.
     "Shove it!"  Alex snapped, his eyes glowing red.  Nick got the point and shut up.  "Now, back to business,"  Alex said, "I summon the powers of earth and fire to save us from a fate so dire!"
     As he chanted this, he raised his right hand, which caused a plume of lava to rise from the molten river and catch the falling car.  Alex then directed the plume to set them down on the nearest cliff.
     The moment they were back on solid ground, everyone's jaw hit the ground.  He then turned to Nick and said, "Proof enough, smartass!?"
     Nick tried to say something, but nothing would come out.  He eventually settled on a thumbs - up sign.
     "Now that that's settled, we need to get this care back up and running.  Doug, you're the resident electronics expert.  Fix it!"
     Doug jumped out of the car and popped the hood.  He then proceeded to fiddle around with electronics.  Sparks flew a couple seconds later and sent him flying.  Everyone hopped out of the car and ran to his side when they saw what happened.
     "I don't wanna ride the merry - go - round any more,"  Doug mumbled, "I think I'm gonna barf!"
     "Doug, snap out of it!"  Brad said, slapping his friend across the face a couple times  to bring him back to his senses.
     As soon as Doug was coherent once again, he grabbed Brad's hand and snarled, "You slap me one more time and I'll kick your ass from here to next Tuesday!"
     "How's the car?"  Mr. MaClain asked.
     "You know that shower of sparks,"  Doug said, "Well, it seems the dinosaur bit right through the wiring that controlled the cooling system to the fusion core and in less than thirty seconds we go BOOM!"
     "Well, let's hope I can get us out of this,"  Alex said to his frightened friends.  He took out his transformation pen and shouted, "Dancer Star Power.... Make UP!"
     There was a flash of colored light and there stood Sailor Star Dancer.
     "Everyone gather around,"  he commanded, "I'll try to teleport us home.  Phoenix Teleport!"
     Once again the rays shot from Alex's feet, extending to the maximum radius.  They formed the circle, then the pillar, and as it was about to form the disk, Alex felt it wasn't going to be strong enough.  He then added an old teleport move he had as Sailor Saturn.
     "Iron Ring Teleport!"
     The extra bit of power sent his friends home, but instead of sending himself with them, he overshot and landed in 2035.

     "Hey, boss, we're getting readings on a dreamer."
     "Well, boot up his dream on the big screen."
     The tv flickered to life to show Sailor Star Dancer and the Sailor Senshi battling the four sisters of Doom.
     "I haven't seen dreams like this for years."
     "Not since that group of time - travelers showed up."
     "Quick, what's the location!?"
     One of the people happened to be near the computer.  He punched keys frantically.  A couple minutes later the computer spewed out the location.
     "Central Park, near the water fountain."
     "Let's move!"
     The group jumped into a red pickup truck and gunned the engine, laying a patch of rubber as they roared out of the garage.

     The minute they pulled into the park they lept from the truck, drew their weapons, and proceeded toward where the unconscious from of a person lay.  As they approached the form, the person began to stir.
     "Uh, where... where am I?"  he asked as he slowly came from his stupor.  When his vision cleared, he noticed five gun barrels pointed at his chest.  "O... kay.  I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore!"
     "Who are you?"  one of the men asked.
     "I... I am.... "  the person said, stumbling for words.  Finally, a name came to him.  He stood up an said, "I am Sailor Star Dancer, and by the power of my Star Sword I shall defeat all evil!"
     Sailor Star Dancer tried to step forward, but immediately stumbled and fell to his knees and clutched his head in agony.
     "We had better get him back to home base,"  the leader said, "He seems to be injured."
     "Let's move it people,"  another said as he hoisted the body of Star Dancer onto his shoulders.
     The moment they returned to the compound they took the unconscious form of Sailor Star Dancer to the recovery ward.  There they set him on a bed and put an ice pack on his face.
     Many hours later Star Dancer awoke from a nightmare.  He rolled over and immediately found himself surrounded by the people.  He sat up, mumbled something very quickly, performed a one handed back hand spring off the bed, and retreated behind a counter.  When the people moved towards his hiding place, he lept over their heads, somersaulted off the table, and executed a flawless landing behind them.  Before they had a chance to turn around, Star Dancer had his Star Sword trained on them.
     "Turn around... slowly!"  he commanded.  The people obeyed.  When he got a good look at their faces, he gasped, "ohmygod!"
     "What is it?"  one of the people asked.
     "Two of you look exactly like my friends Steve and Tod!"
     "You're kidding us, right?"  the person who resembled Tod said.
     "Yeah, how can we resemble people we don't know?"  the person who resembled Steve said.
     "I don't know,"  Star Dancer said, his head spinning from all that was happening, "I just don't know!"
     Just then the door burst open and in lept the Moon Senshi.
     "Damn free nodes,"  one of the people mumbled, raising his weapon, "Get 'em boys!"
     "This can't be happening,"  Star Dancer groaned as the two groups met to face off, "If I knew this was going to happen I wouldn't have gotten up this morning!"
     Sailor Io opened one of the people's heads with her wind whip attack.  Sailor Callisto impaled a second person with her star missile and captured the remaining three people in her crystal shining web.
     "Now you shall pay,"  Sailor Ganymede said, producing her lava dagger, "I shall burn you.  Comet Shot!"
     As the comet streaked towards the three, Star Dancer lept in the path of flight and used one of his powers.
     'Forgive me for what I'm about to do,'  he thought, "Saggitarius Recurve!"
     The comet turned around and headed right for the Moon Senshi.  The impact was tremendous and threw everyone for a loop.  Alex then produced three pendants and threw them to the ones in the cage.
     "You should know what to do!"  Alex called.
     "Right!"  the three yelled back.
     "Thunderbolt Star Power... "
     "FireStar Star Power.... "
     "Hellfire Star Power.... "
     "MAKE UP!!"
     Bolts of lightning surrounded the person who resembled Steve and transformed him into Sailor Thunderbolt.  Orange light and energy surrounded the person who resembled Tod and when it exploded it turned him into Sailor FireStar.  The flames of hell turned the final person into Sailor Hellfire.  They produced their weapons and broke free of the crystal cage.  They then joined Sailor Star Dancer in preparation for battle.
     "So, the great Sailor Star Dancer has joined with the enemy,"  Sailor Io taunted, "Pity I shall have to destroy you!"
     "I don't think so,"  Sailor Thunderbolt said, "Lightning Bolt Wrap!"
     Chains of lightning flew from the blade of each of his swords, wrapping around each of the Moon Senshi and jolting them with 10,000 giga volts.
     "Too bad Sailor Arctic Chill isn't here,"  Sailor Hellfire said, "We could use his help right about now."
     Just then the communications console came to life and delivered an important SOS message.
     "Attention all members of the dream police.  This is Antonious Clough, aka Sailor Neptune.  I am in some strange building and being held hostage by a strange cult."
     "Antonious,"  Sailor Hellfire said, "damn, why couldn't it have been me who went on that mission!?"
     "Shh,"  Sailor Io hissed, "he's still talking."
     "Roberto is here with me and we're trying to devise a plan for escape."
     "Roberto, as in Roberto Doremus?"  Star Dancer asked.
     "The one and only,"  Sailor FireStar said, "How do you know him?!"
     "We need to get to him FAST!"
     "Yo, hold up,"  Sailor Callisto said, "You're going to try to save your friends by yourself?"
     "Wouldn't you?"  Sailor Thunderbolt asked.
     "If you would release us from these bonds, we'll help you,"  Sailor Europa said.
     "Fine,"  Thunderbolt said, ceasing his lightning bolt wrap power, "Let's go!"
     The eight Sailor Senshi exited, post haste, and headed for the compound.

     From the second they got to the compound in their sites, they could tell it wouldn't be easy to save their friends.  Luckily, each of the Senshi had their weapons so they became the Super Sailor Senshi.  As they moved in on the compound, they split up, each Moon Senshi teaming up with a Star Senshi.
     Alex teamed up with Sailor Io and the two began to circle around the complex.  As they turned a corner, they spotted a guard coming right for them.  Thinking quick, Alex wrapped his arms around Sailor Io's waist and lept into the sky.  When the guard turned the corner, Sailor Io used her wind whip attack to crush the guard's skull.  They then descended and continued on.
     A couple minutes later all the Senshi met once again, each saying the same thing, "There's no way in!"
     "We need to get in there!"  Sailor Hellfire said, "Who knows what's happening to our friends?!"
     "Why don't we concentrate our attacks on one wall?"  Sailor Thunderbolt suggested.
     "Not a bad idea,"  Sailor Star Dancer said, "Let's do it!"
     They all produced their weapons and prepared to attack.  Star Dancer lept into the air and energized his sword.  He then released his special attack.
     "Orion... Star Sword Slash!"
     The beam of energy made contact with the wall and began to break it away.  Sailor Hellfire took his axe and slammed it into the ground.  As lava began to bubble, he called upon his special attack.
     "Flaming Fissure!"
     The lava erupted and began to melt through the wall.  As this was happening, Sailor FirsStar took his whip and began to lash it around.  As the stars on the end of the whip became engulfed in flame, he cracked the whip and released his special attack.
     "Flame Star Streak!"
     As the beam of fire joined the other two attacks, Sailor Thunderbolt took his swords and began to charge them for his special attack.
     "T - bolt Wave!"
     Two waves of electrical energy lept from the swords, combining to form a super wave of energy which joined the other three attacks in breaking through the wall.
     The Moon Senshi, seeing how just standing around wouldn't be too much help, produced their weapons and joined in.
     "Wind Whip!"
     "Comet Shot!"
     "Breaking Monolith!"
     "Star Missile!"
     With the combined power of all the Senshi attacking the wall, they soon broke through.  What was to come next would be dangerous.

     As they entered the compound, they were immediately attacked by hundreds of small, furry creatures with sharp teeth and an endless hunger.  The Senshi quickly lept into the air and prepared for battle.
     While they were airborne a vision appeared to Alex.  An old man in a red - gray hood said, "Use the force Luke.  Use the force."
     "Uh, like wrong planet,"  Alex said.  The vision vanished after that.  "Now to defeat these hairballs.  Star Aurora Flash!"
     Beams of light flew from his finger tips, frying a couple dozen of the little devils.  The creatures, predicting another attack, began to leap into the air and attack the Senshi.  Sailor FireStar, seeing the approaching problem, used the attack that could possibly kill him.
     "Nova Bomb!"
     As the energy built up around him, Sailors Hellfire and Thunderbolt used a couple attacks that would provide cover and time for Sailor FireStar.
     "Blaze of Glory!"
     "T - bolt Wave!"
     As the fire and lightning attacked the critters, FireStar released his attack.
     An explosion equivalent to that of a super nova rocked the landscape, dissolving the little critters in pure energy.  Any who tried to escape met their doom by the means of a dissolve field.  The energy drain was so severe that FireStar began to drop from the sky.
     When Sailors Star Dancer and Io saw this, they rushed to his aid by lifting him back into the air.  A couple minutes later the attack ceased and a smoking crater was all that remained of the critters.  As soon as everything cooled off, the leader of the cult exited from the building and demanded to know who they were.
     "We,"  Sailor Thunderbolt said, "are the Sailor Senshi, and where thunder crashed, I'm bound to be near.  I am Sailor Thunderbolt."
     "I wield the powers of fire and I shall burn evil from the face of the earth.  Sailor Hellfire... Stage ON!"
     "By the crack... of my whip... evil shall fall.  I am Sailor... FireStar!"
     "A moonless night with a star filled sky is where I can be found.  Sailor Star Dancer... Stage ON!"
     "The winds of justice are blowing.  I am Sailor Io!"
     The remaining three moon senshi stumbled for introductions, but decided to just say who they were and what they controlled.
     "I am Sailor Callisto, the summoner of crystal!"
     "I am Sailor Ganymede, the wielder of lava!"
     "I am Sailor Europa, the controller of stone!"
     "We are the Moon Senshi and the Star Senshi!"
     "Senshi, smenshi!  You shall pay for all that you have done, you evil doers.  Ant, Rick, come out here and greet your friends!"
     A door opened and out stepped Sailors Neptune and Arctic Chill.  The two looked at the group for a couple seconds before drawing their weapons and attacking.
     "Ice Dragon Summon!"
     "Trident Tidal Blast!"
     Arctic Chill's arrow flew through the air and exploded in a flash of blue light.  Out of the light came a mighty Ice Dragon which began attacking the senshi with icy breath and icicle claws.  To add to the confusion, the senshi needed to also dodge a mighty wave of raging water.
     "There has to be a way to stop this!"  Sailor Star Dancer said as he activated his VR visor and his micro computer.  He then began punching keys at a furious rate.  A couple seconds later he had the answer.
     "Though I hate to do this, it must be done,"  he said, "Callisto, I need a cage now!"
     "Right.  Crystal Shining Web!"
     A cage of crystal erupted around Arctic Chill and Neptune, trapping them.
     "Ganymede, we need a guard!"
     "I'm on it.  Dripping Wildfire!"
     A mighty beast of lava arose from the ground and stood guard beside the cage.
     "Io, aim for the leader.  Keep him occupied for a couple minutes!"
     "Whatever you say!  Wind Whip!"
     The whip wrapped around the leader, trapping his arms by his sides so he couldn't fight back.
     "Now for the finisher,"  Star Dancer said to himself, 'Queen Serenity, where ever you are, give me the strength to finish this monster and save my friends.'
     Just as he finished a solar eclipse occurred and a moon beam shot down and turned Sailor Star Dancer into Prince Alex of Saturn.
     Alex reached behind himself and took a long bow from his back.  He loaded a golden arrow into it and aimed for the leader.
     "I banish you evil spirit!"  he said, drawing back the arrow, which was collecting energy.  "I call upon the powers of Mars.... fireballs... "
     As he chanted, the arrow burst into flame.  Not a hot flame, but  golden flame of pure energy.  As the bow string reached breaking point, Alex released the arrow.  At the same time he finished the chant.
     ".... CHARGE!!!"
     The arrow flew like a beam of light, striking the leader right in the heart.  The flames burned, drawing out the evil while at the same time turning him good.  But there was no hope for the old guy, who exploded in a flash of light, leaving the arrow to drop to the ground.
     With the evil influence gone, Antonius and Ricardo returned to their previous states of mind and also of body.  The beast melted back into the earth and the cage shattered, leaving the two to wonder what had happened to them.  When they asked, everyone groaned, sweat drops appearing on their heads.
     Later on Alex felt he needed to return to his own time.  Though it was a blast being in the future, somehow he knew the Mutant Crew would miss him sooner or later.
     "I have to get home,"  he explained, "but I have a feeling the future rests in good hands."
     "Especially since we're a team and not trying to destroy one another,"  Sailor Callisto said.
     Just then the doors exploded inward and in stepped the governor and ten heavily armed guards.
     "Ok you free nodes,"  the governor yelled, "I'm gonna destroy you!  Boys, take 'em out!"
     The senshi backed up, protecting Alex from the heavy fire.  When Alex began to protest, Hellfire and Arctic Chill both told him to teleport back to his time.  Reluctantly, he did.
     "Phoenix Teleport!"
     Once again he began his teleport maneuver.  As the pillar once again formed the disk, he added the final power to send him home.
     "Iron Ring Teleport!"
     Once more he was on his way home.  As he left the time period, the last thing he saw was Sailor Arctic Chill giving him a thumbs - up sign.  Then there was darkness.

     The next day was the trip back to Newport, NH.  The Moon Senshi, in their human forms, met with the Sailor Teams to wish them a good trip.  As they talked, Alex walked up to Sailor Io's human form and asked, "Who are you guys?"
     "I'm Dorrie O'Rouke, a school teacher and college student.  Ganymede is known as May Templeton, a famous archeologist.  Sailor Europa is Ana Stone, a some what famous sculptor.  Finally, Sailor Callisto is Crystal Andres, a jeweler and part time fortune teller who is a,"  she practically yelled the last part, "major space cadet!"
     Just then they heard Crystal shout, "I heard that Dorrie!"
     Dorrie yelled back, "You were meant to hear that!"
     Another shout followed, but this time it wasn't Crystal.
     "Attention! All people returning to Newport, NH please board the busses at this time.  Otherwise you will be left behind!"
     There was a pause before another voice came on over the loud speakers to simply say, "Moshi Moshi!"
     "Well, we have to go,"  Alex said to Dorrie, as he began walking away, "It's been a blast!"
     "Wait,"  Dorrie said, grabbing Alex's hand, "take this."
     Dorrie opened Alex's hand and pressed something round and smooth into his palm.  She then closed his fingers over the object.  Dorrie then said, "Use this if you need the Moon Senshi or if you're in the area again."
     Alex retracted his hand.  As Dorrie spoke he opened it to find a communicator made of many colored crystal with the symbols of the Moon Senshi on it.  Before Alex could thank her, Dorrie and the other three Moon Senshi were gone.  He boarded the bus with the others and sat down.  When he looked out the window, he though he saw the Moon Senshi waving.  He blinked, then looked again, and saw the bushes and shrubs native to Florida.
     On the trip home Alex kept looking at the communicator and wondered where and when he'd meet the Moon Senshi again.
