STORY 1: LORD DREADLOX AND THE MOON GUARDIAN by Francisco K. Rodriguez INTRODUCTION: The following story(stories, depending) is mine, Francisco K. Rodriguez. I came up with the storyline for the charcter. Now for the charcters themselves. Sailor Moon and assorted character to the manga or animated series belong to NaokoTakeuchi, DIC, and etc. As for the other characters that do not appear on the anime and such belong to ME. I took the time to come up with their identities, powers, relationships, code-names and background. All I ask is for anyone who likes them not to use them. I don't copy off of other fanfics so please don't copy off of mine. It is just coincidence if any of my characters match anyone else. For all readers, the story will be long. Sailormoon C is a series. What I am starting with is a storyline. The story will set-up what happens in the future. I might do three storylines like I plan to do or just this one. Please do feel free to critique but don't vandalize. The first storyline is my baby consider that it's not only my first fanfic but is the first time I've tried a series in over two years. I hope you enjoy the story, and hope that the established charcters have been done justice. There are a few things you need to know about the series to understand how the history is laid out. First, this starts after Chibi-usa and the Sailor Stars are gone;shortly after most of the events of issues 18 of the series but before the wedding of Sailormoon and Tuxedo Mask. In here, I am calling Sailormoon, Usagi and Tuxedo, Mamoru. Another thing is that I will mesh both the anime's and manga's interputation together. For instance, Mamoru will start his first semester of college and Usagi her sophomore year of High school. All the senshi are princess of their respected planets. Rei will act like she does in the anime than in the manga. One of the most important issues is that the senshi have all died and been resurrected, more than once. One thing to keep in mind is that I will also follow the fact that Usagi has met her future self like in the manga. Another thing is that the girls are in their Sailorstar forms and Usagi is in her Eternal Sailormoon form. She has met SailorCosmos. One last thing to remember, all of the senshi get their power from the heart crystals. Remember these things cause the series will be based on this. I'm sure you'd like to know if Chibi-usa, the Asteriod Senshi, or the Starlights will appear. All I can say is that one will appear and the others are unknown.Well sit back and enjoy cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride. SAILORMOON C rated PG EPISODE 1:RISE OF THE DARK REIGN By FranciscoK. Rodriguez frankiekr@yahoo.com Many teenagers worry about a lot of different things. Some worry about their school work and their grades. Other teens worry about their looks and their appearance to others. Some worry about if someone likes them. But for a group of young girls in the city of Tokyo, they struggle with life and death. The girls were chosen to be the protectors of this world. The girls are called the Sailor Senshi. About a thousand years ago, each of these girls were selected into the court of a young princess named Usagi. They were sworn to defend her and stop evil. In the world of today, they are the defenders of the innocent against the evils of the Dark Kingdom and the Negaverse. Looking back, Usagi feels a sense of accomplishment and joy. At the same time, She feels the burdens of the heavy rock on her back called leadership. To be a normal teenage girl is something she's wanted for a long time. As she walked down the steps of her home, a tapping had come forth. She then headed for the door and found something that always makes her smile...Mamoru. "Hello Gorgeous! Sleep well?," asked the young love of Usagi's life. "Oh did I! I was dreaming of you and our future with Chibi-usa. I could get use to seeing you first thing in the morning," answered the young meatball hair styled girl as she pulls him closer for a passionate morning kiss. As the sun shined brightly in the morning sky, Mina and Setsuna were on there way to the shine on Cherry Hill. The two girls were meeting some of the other senshi for a bit of shopping . Rei was outside chasing Chad with a broomstick. In a corner of the main resident area, Makoto stood there along with Hotaru. "Hey Setsuna...Mina, over here!" cried Makoto. "Hi Makoto! Hotaru! What's with Rei?" inquired Mina. "Chad broke Rei's favorite mirror this morning. And as usual, Rei is steamed," explained little Hotaru. Rei was swinging the broomstick back and forth. Every once in a while she could be close enough to wack him on his head. Chad was crying out for Grandpa and asking for forgiveness. Rei, unfortunately, was not in a forgiving mood. She yelled "Chad pray I don't kill you for breaking that mirror cause you are a dead man when I catch up to you." "Ah... some things never change," announced Mina to the girls. Makoto said, "No kidding. Where are the others?" "Well Ami is stuck with a book as usual. And Usagi and Mamoru have a date," commented Mina. "What about Michiru and Haruka?" asked Hotaru. "They told me that they had prior engagements," Setsuna stated, "No doubt that they are attached to each other." Waving her hands angrily, Rei screamed, "when I get back from the mall, you're a dead man Chad. You hear me. Deader than Drew Barrymore in Scream."The group of girls looked at their hot-tempered friend. Rei then gazed at them. Setsuna walked forward and put her arm around Rei. Setsuna then cried, "I don't know about you, but I am in the mood for a serious shopping spree." Rei began to smile because she knew that the girls were trying to make her feel better. She looked at the tall eighteen year old senshi and replied, "Yeah! Let's go!" With that cry, the five friends went on their way to the local mall. A void like sky consumed all that could be seen. The only light within the void was a red eye peering at the ground below. A fortress stood proudly in this decadence of shadows. Clouds filled the blacken skies of this world. Then a loud roar echo all over. The shadow lord of this domain was once again rising. Upon his throne gathered seven dark souls, loyal to this evil god. As they stood, they awaited the word of their master...the man named Lord Dreadlox. In a grim, sharply deadly voice he spoke, "Come to me my dark children, and announce yourselves to me." A man in red stepped forward to answer his master. "My lord, the Acolytes are here to serve you. Acolytes, identify yourselves to our master." A female in purple stepped forward. "I am the Acolyte of Sound, Syrin. I pledge my loyalty to you as always my lord." A guy in blue and black with white hair came next. "I am Tempest, Lord Dreadlox. Acolyte of a storms fury." A woman in dark green and a white suit then spoke."I, dark lord, am the mistress of shadows. I am Raven." A male in black and red stepped up next to announce himself. "I, my great Lord Dreadlox, am the bringer of Chaos and destruction. Call me Mayhem." A woman in white with black hair approached Lord Dreadlox next. " I am the Acolyte of Fears, Phobia. Ready to serve you my lord." Another woman walked up this time with purple and blue. Her voice sounded like ice. "I am the Acolyte of Winter's grip, Artica." The red man who had asked the others to identify themselves stood before all the other acolytes to identify himself. "I am Hyperion. Harbinger of Hellfire and leader to your Acolyte Guard. Lord Dreadlox, after a thousand years, we are at last in sync with Earth and the Moon. We may return to the Moon Kingdom to destroy it and its children." Lord Dreadlox stood before his acolytes to answer Hyperion's statement. "Much has changed since our banishment over a thousand years ago. It seem the Moon Kingdom no longer exists. Queen Beryl destroyed it after our imprisonment. I sensed it's destruction even in our imprisonment. Queen Serenity is long dead. But I sense a power similar in a place called Tokyo. Perhaps it is her daughter. If it is, she must be dealt with. If Princess Usagi lives, she must die. But we must move swiftly. Hyperion... take a survey of the terrority and report back to me." Hyperion smiled at the order of his lord. He then spoke, "It will be done my lord. If I find the Moon Princess, I will burn her flesh into a pile of ash. I will also collect energy for our quest." Lord Dreadlox replied, "Be wary of the Moon Princess. Her court my be here as well. If they get in your way, destroy them. But, I warn you, If we are free, than so may be him. If HE shows up, deal with him quickly before he meets up with the Moon Princess. Together they would be formiable for us. HE alone is powerful and cunning. HE must be handled carefully." The warning laid on the mind of the Acolyte Leader. Then he went away to perform his task. The girls all enter Tokyo Mega Mall with excitement. Each of the girls has a agenda in the shopping court. Makoto wanted to find some cooking tools for her new cookbook. Mina and Hotaru went with Setsuna to look at the latest fashions. And Rei... wanted to buy everything from Boscov's women's clothing department. The other plus on these girls minds is to find a guy. As the girls met for some food, they gathered near a huge fountain in the middle of the west wing of the mall. Rei had a bunch of boxes she was carrying that covered the top half of her body. As she pleaded with the girls to help her, the girls laughed and told her she should not have bought so many boxes. As Rei was about to yell at the other Senshi, she bumped into something hard and fell back. The boxes flew to different sides of the floor around Rei . As she rubbed her butt, she began to scream at whatever she hit. "Hey pal! What's the big idea?," exclaimed the hot-headed Rei. " I'm so sorry. I didn't watch where I was going," said the thing that bumped Rei. " Oh you bet your gonna," Rei yelled till she saw who by looking up, "...be ... be in heaven." Rei and the other senshi looked at the thing that knocked Rei over. It was a young man around Mamoru's age. He had white hair and was very muscular. But there was something familiar with his face that struck a cord with everyone, especially Setsuna. Everyone else was more concerned on the hunk they had bumped into. "Excuse...? Let me help you up," said the young man. He pulled Rei up as she had a glassy look in her eyes. Rei began to daydream about her and this mysterious hunk. She dreamt of their first date. Their first Kiss. The two of them getting married with Usagi being extremely jealous. After a few minutes she regained consciousness, so to speak when Mina hits her elbow against Rei's shoulder. The other senshi were entertaining questions while the young man was picking up the boxes. Makoto began. "So, what's your name?" The young man passed some of the boxes to Mina, then answered, "My name is Seji. I just moved here a few days ago." Makoto said, "My name's Makoto." She began to stare into his eyes. Hotaru pulled her aside. Setsuna then stated, "Hi! My name is Setsuna. The girl next to me is Hotaru. The girl to my left is Mina. And the girl you bumped into is..." But Rei interrupted and yelled, "I'm Rei!" The young man found the girls somewhat odd but friendly, especially Rei and Makoto. He then bowed and started talking to the young girls. The girls invited him for some food and he gladly accepted their invitation. Setsuna though could not shake the feeling of having known the young man. She glared into his face to see if she could recognize him further but was interrupted by Mina. As they made their way to the restaurant, Seji described his life before moving into Tokyo. He came from the United States interested in Japan. He stated that family had lived in the area and was intending to find them. The girls felt sorry for the young man. Setsuna then remembered the moon kingdom for a brief moment. There was something to this man which seemed strange. What was his connection to the Moon Kingdom thought the time traveling Senshi. As they sat at a pizzeria, Makoto declared that they were about to have the best pizza in town. Rei kept staring into the eyes of the young man. Hotaru only laughed and giggled at Rei's preadolsent behavior. As the pizza came in, each of the girls talked what was fun in Tokyo. Seji felt happy to have met such nice girls so quickly. Mamoru and Usagi were at a ice cream store enjoy a banana split sundae together. Mamoru laughed at his girlfriend when she tripped into his spoonful of strawberry ice cream. Usagi began to get mad. " That wasn't funny Mamoru!" whined Usagi. "Meatball head, I'm sorry...but it was funny," commented Mamoru as he laughed at Usagi. "Don't speak to me!" exclaimed the angry Usagi. Mamoru then put a spoonful of chocolate ice cream on the nose of an agitated Usagi. " Hey! What's the big idea!?" Usagi whaled but was calmed down when her boyfriend started licking the ice cream from her nose. Usagi smiled at him. "Mamoru... Apology accepted." "Not quite," Mamoru stated as he pulled his girlfriend towards him. He then passionately kisses Usagi. They spend the next few minutes talking and enjoying each other when a girl stumbles in. Two girls come in after the young girl who seemed to be pushed in. Usagi sees the older girls getting ready to hurt the female on the floor. Usagi reacts! She starts with, "Is there a problem?" Usagi helps out the young girl off the floor. The older females immediately turn fire red, clinching their fists. "This was none of your business before Meatball head. Now ..." the girl to the left started. The girl on the right finished, " ...You've got to pay with the little bitch!" " I'm no bitch you hoochies!" exclaimed the girl with Usagi. She the put her hand on her arm, which throbbed in pain. " Couldn't you just walk away?" asked Usagi with a nervous crack in her voice. The girls shook there heads. The two females got a bit closer when Usagi's companion began to form a fighting stance. Usagi looked at the two and began to sweat. Mamoru felt like he should come in till he saw a few familiar faces. The two girls were about to attack Usagi and her companion when two new faces showed up behind Usagi. " Say Goodbye to your pretty face Meatball head," stated the girl on the left. "I don't think so !" one familiar voice accounted. Another voice Usagi knew shouted, "You know bullies love to gang up on people. Well guess what girlfriend, now we are gangin' up on you!" Usagi turn to see the familiar voices owners'. It was her friends Michiru and Haruka. "Now how do you like being ganged up on?!" exclaimed Haruka. The two females began to turn away frightened by Haruka and her compatriots. Usagi turned and hugged the two Outer Senshi proudly. " Oh thank you Haruka and Michiru. That was close," thanked Usagi as she then looked to her new friend in which she was trying to help in the first place. Her friend was a dark skinned girl with braids and a sleek figure with the exception of her butt. Haruka began to stare at the young girl's big rump. Michiru noticed this and then elbowed her lover. Mamoru got up and joined the group of girls. Then Usagi began introductions. " My name is Usagi. The two girls on the right of me are my friends, Haruka and Michiru." Michiru smiled and greeted, "Hello." "What's up!" yelled Haruka, besides that big butt Harkua thought. Usagi continued. " And the guy who just walked up is my boyfriend, Mamoru." "Hi there. And your name miss?" inquired the young man. "My name's Iesha. I just moved here recently. My father lives here and I just moved in with him permanently. Thanks for watching my back," gratuitously replies Iesha. Haruka chuckled at that comment. Usagi then comes up to the girl. "Welcome to Tokyo! I know you'll like it here!" exclaimed an overjoyed to have her face Usagi. "How's about joining Mamoru and me for lunch Iesha?" Iesha then puts a smile on her face. In her mind she thinks that Usagi is a bit ditsy but has been very kind. "Sure. I don't really have any friends." "You do now Iesha," answered Mamoru holding his girlfriend close to him. "What about you guys, Michiru and Haruka?" asked Usagi. The two girls except Usagi's invitation to join Usagi, Mamoru and Iesha to lunch. They all crowed into a booth at the left corner of the restaurant. They all began to look for what they wanted as Usagi picked out nearly everything on the menu. Iesha looks on feeling overjoyed at the new friendship she had just obtained. Outside a nearby factory by the bay, Hyperion emerged from the clouds in the sky. Hyperion than came on to the boardwalk. He looked at his surroundings and began to look at a group of children. He said that they looked tasty and were full of energy. He raised on hand in the air then cried," Goblinjas, Come forth!" Out of nowhere, a group of ugly little goblins began to pop up to his side. Then black suits began to cover their bodies, enfolding them like blankets on a windy day. All that could be seen by the group were their eyes and their claws. They lined up in front o the Acolyte of Fire and bowed. They all looked at their master, awaiting for his commands. He then pointed at the group of kids. "Fetch energy! Slaughter their bodies!" The goblinja looked at each other and headed for the kids. The group of kids were not there alone. They were a part of a summer education program. They were there on a field trip. The children's chaperones included some high school and college volunteers. One of those volunteers was Ami, otherwise known as Sailor Mercury. She held the hand of a child. The children felt happy. At least they were till goblinjas began to attack. Ami was horrified by the sights of these little things attacking the kids. She got her communicator and called for the rest of the Senshi. She hid in a corner and transform. "MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!" A goblinja was preparing to absorb the power from a young boy when Sailorstar Mercury whisked him away before the goblinja struck. Mercury then looked around to see how many were a part of her opposition. There were at least seven goblinjas that she could see. She knew that she had to call the senshi immediately, but they may not make it in time to save the children. SailorstarMercury pressed her homing beacon to signal the others while she holds them off. Sailormercury then jumps in to save a trio of girls who were surrounded. Mercury hits one with a punch to the face and another with a kick to the stomach. A bunch of children gather together near their bus, waiting for the adults to take them home. Unfortunately, the adults have had their energy taken away from them already. Mercury then watches a group of goblinjas head for the bus with kids. She jumps over the goblinjas and stands between them and the bus. She needs to distract them she thought. She walks up and yells, " Shine Snow Illusion!" Mist arise from SailorstarMercury, blinding the evil monsters. She then attacks them, picking them off one by one. She has knocked down three but only to see herself being surrounded. She thinks where are the other senshi. At the mall, Rei and company hear Mercury's signal and tries to excuse themselves from the young man they had met. The beep sounds again. Rei exclaims, " Oh no! We have to go Seji. It's my grandfather. He's very ill and is old. Can you girls come with me?" She looks on to the others. Each of the girls understood what was going on. Seji looked at the five friends weirdly because they all are beeped as well. "Why are all your beepers going off?" asked their new friend. The girls looked stomped when Setsuna answers, "Grandpa usually beeps us all when he is in trouble." Seji then replies, " How's about I come with you?" Rei shouts, "No! ...I mean we don't wanna bother you. Maybe another time?" grinned the young Rei, who felt bad as to lying to Seji. The young man nodded and began to walk away. All five of the girls ran in another direction. Unbeknownst to them, Artemis jumps out of nowhere. "Girls, it seems Ami is in big trouble! Thing is we're not sure where she is. Luna already talked to the others. Do any of you have any idea where she is right now?" "She is with the summer school program with the third graders," answered Makoto worried for Ami's safety. "She's at the bay area around the factory on Hikido Street!" Rei then exclaimed, " then we'd had better get there fast." The five girls ran as Artemis contacted Luna and the other Senshi to relay Ami's location. As the girls headed to the bay area, they began to transform. "MARS CRYSTAL POWER!" "JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!" "VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!" "PLUTO CRYSTAL POWER!" "SATURN CRYSTAL POWER!" The five girls were no longer the group of friends at the mall; they were now five members of the Sailor Senshi: SailorstarMars, SailorstarJupiter, SailorstarVenus, SailorstarPluto, and SailorstarSaturn. SailorstarMercury was in a tight jam as the goblinjas surrounded her. As they closed in, Mercury did her best to hold them off. One goblinja got a shot at her from behind and began to absorb her energy. In the sky, Hyperion looked over the sight with great pleasure and satisfaction. Mercury will be the first to fall he thought; then I will get rid of the rest of the senshi. The goblinjas were swarming Ami when a loud cry rang. "Drop her uglies or your toast!" screamed an angry, yet familiar voice. "Mars Flame Sniper!" An arrow of fire came out of nowhere and exploded onto the goblinjas. SailorstarMercury stood up to see five of her companions standing to the north. SailorstarMars whaled, " Listen here you trolls! No one messes with Mercury with out paying the price! SailorstarJupiter followed with, " You ugly fucks are gonna pay big time! Let's rumble!" Jupiter jumps up and knocks out a few of the goblinjas. The other girls follow Jupiter's lead until they all see two goblinjas taking energy and life force for one child. All six senshi turn mad as a race car engine revved up. SailorstarMercury yells, "How dare you take the energy from a defenseless kid. Well, I putting a stop to it right now!MERCURY AQUA MIRAGE!" This freezes the ground that the goblinjas were standing on. Jupiter and Pluto decide to take the incentive. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" "Pluto Dead Scream!" A combination of Pluto's sonic orb and Jupiter's electrified nature thrusted to the two goblinjas and incinerated them. The rest of the goblinjas retreat into the shadows. The six Senshi smile at their victory only to find their battle has not finished. Hyperion appears before the Senshi with a cocky smile embroiled on his face. His red eyes peer at each of the Senshi. He laughs at them manically. He proceeds with an introduction. "Hello ladies. You fought well against my servants but interrupted their objective. Now I'll have to see you pay for it. Just remember that it was Hyperion, Acolyte of fire that destroyed you." He began to laugh again. The Senshi turn to each other and decide to take him. SailorstarMercury starts to use her computer to investigate him. SailorstarJupiter begins the assault by jumping at him, but he merely moves away. Then SailorstarVenus catches him with a kick. Super Sailormars then flips him to the ground. SailorstarSaturn then brings out her Silence Glaive, pointing it at Hyperion. SailorstarMercury then becomes alarmed at the readings she sees. "Saturn! Watch Out!" exclaims Mercury in vain as fire hits the young Senshi of the Silent Planet. Pluto runs to her as Hyperion attacks the Senshi with fire knives. Sailors Mars, Pluto, Jupiter, and Venus dance around in order to dodge Hyperion's attack. Mercury makes it to Saturn and checks her wounds. Saturn had already begun to heal herself with her nature healing abilities. Mars, angry and fed up with the Acolyte of fire decided to attack. "Mars Flame Sniper!" Hyperion catches it and mocks Mars. "This is an attack with fire?! Mars you disgust me! Now this is a fire attack. Sun Ultra-violet Harness Slash!"A swarm of long fire javelins struck at the Senshi knocking Mars and Jupiter on the floor. Sailorstarvenus then came with her attack. "Venus Love Me Chain!" A chain of hearts made out of light then rolled of the spinning Venus and rapped itself to Hyperion's hands. He then turned his hands inward and fling Venus through a window. Pluto, Jupiter, and Mars were horrified by the sight. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" "Pluto Dead Scream!" attacked the two respected planets Senshi. Hyperion saw the attack the yelled, " Star Flame Enrapture!" This caused a huge storm of fire and light being hurdled at the Senshi. After the blast, Hyperion stared at the unconious Senshi. He smiled thinking of having won. The he saw movement through some flames. It was the Senshi Sailormercury and Sailorsaturn. He began to get angry. Saturn and Mercury looked at Hyperion with feelings of hate. "You hurt our friends enough you monster! We won't let you hurt anyone anymore," cried Mercury. " And How do you propose to stop me? I've taken care of your friends. Now...it's your turn!" mockingly stated Hyperion. Then another cry was made. "I don't think so! In the name of the Moon...!" "In the Name of Uranus... !" "In the name of Neptune..." The three senshi revealed themselves. "We will punish you!" Saturn and Mercury grin at the sight of the three remaining Senshi. Then Eternal Sailormoon nods to SailorstarUranus to attack. "Uranus World Shaking!" Neptune followed with, "Neptune Deep Submerge!" Hyperion was hit with a double shot of the two senshi attacks. This knocked him to the ground. Eternal Sailormoon was about to finish the job when, Hyperion struck. " Sun Ultra-violet Harness Slash!" The attack had injured Sailor Moon and Sailorstar Neptune, inflaming Sailorstar Uranus. "You're a dead man! Space Sword Blaster!" The new attack grazed the chest of the Acolyte of Fire. He held his chest in pain, looking at the floor. When his head return to the upright position, all nine senshi had surrounded him. He turned to find an opening only to find none. He snicked, " Well done Sailor Senshi. I under estimated you. You girls are a lot more resilient than I thought. But remember this for our next confrontation Sailor Senshi...I will be far more prepared to defeat you all!" With these words, the acolyte made himself bright to cover his escape. The senshi checked on the children and found them to be fine. They all looked at the sky wondering what new force does Hyperion represent. Mercury thanks the girls for coming to her aid, leaving an unanswered inquiry. "Where did Hyperion and those ninjas come from?" asked Eternal Sailormoon. "It beats me. But from what I found out during our battle with Hyperion is that he is extremely powerful. I'm afraid he may be our toughest adversary yet," replied SailorstarMercury. "Well who ever he is, he's toast next time I see him," growled SailorstarUranus. As the girls walked a way a familiar figure stands. A cape and hat is shown. Is it Tuxedo Mask? Or is it someone else? Only Tuxedo wears a hat and cape. It has to be him...doesn't it? NEXT: Hyperion returns for another attack that will cost the senshi dearly. Plus more with Iesha. The group goes to the movies. And who's the mysterious guy with the cape and mask? Is it Tuxedo Mask? Find out. Next episode: FIRE HEART NOTE: SENSHI means warrior or soldier.
