Where furies and scouts unite! :) If you don't get that...nevermind. Okay, for those of you just tuning in (namely everyone but myself): Moon the Echidna has joined up with a half-vampire named Gabriel; someone she knew from her past. Along with K.A. (her "little" bro, don't worry it refers to a completely different saga), they've set off to find the Master Tools. They are the talisman of the Master Powers that created and ruled all the realms back at the beginning of time. They have to get them before the evil Vampire Queen Hecate-Chaos does. Oh, yeah, there's a price on Gabe's head and Moon's bounty-hunter friend (I hope he let's me call him that!) KTE {character is copy-right of KTE} is bound and determined to get the reward. So when Gabe, Moon, and KA went to the passageway to the realm where the indicator wand (they need that to find the Master Tools) is, they were separated. Moon woke up in a empty command center, alone, and unsure of what's going on. Warning!!! This is gonna get a little weird...I think. So if you have a problem with furies morphing in human, stop reading now. Everyone else, just don't wonder how it could happen. No analyzing of logic please. Sit back, relax (a little not too much; I don't want ya falling asleep!) and enjoy (I hope!). So it begins....} ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter One Time and place: currently Unknown Realm Location: Also unknown Moon slowly came to her senses. She opened her eyes. "K.A.? Gabriel?" She asked, her voice weak, her throat dry. No answer. Moon sat up. She was on the floor of what looked like a command center. But she couldn't be sure. No lights were on. She looked around. She may not know where this was, but she did know one thing: K.A. and Gabriel were no where to be seen. She was alone. The boy was slowly opened his eyes. His head ached. He felt as though someone had run him over with a tank. Where was he? He wondered. He didn't recognize this dark, cavernous place. "Good," A sharp voice snapped. "You're awake." He rolled over, with some difficulty and saw the speaker. A woman in a long, black gown. If you could say it covered enough of her chest area to be called a gown. She narrowed her odd, almost golden colored eyes. "I had feared you weren't going to," She said. She tossed her long hair. It was such a odd color. So red it was burgundy. She inspected her long, tapered, blood-red nails. "Where am I?" the boy asked. "You're in my palace," she replied. "Come, come, do you not recognize your Queen?" "I'm sorry, your majesty, but I fear I do not." The boy replied. "I'm not even sure who I am." The Queen smiled, a chilling expression. "Why, do you not remember who you are, my loyal servant?" "Alas, my Queen, I do not." She hide a smile. "Do not concern yourself any further, my dear. I'll tell you everything you need to know. I've been waiting for my chief warrior to be returned to me for quite sometime." Chapter Two: Late Afternoon Sailor Scout Realm Aurora Boreal was walking her pet fox, Gallileo when she came across the furry. "Gallileo, don't," she called to the silver eyed white fox. He continued to sniff at something. She pushed at wavy white hair. The blue-tint to it was barely noticeable in the fading light. "Gallileo, damn, c'mon knock it off," Aurora called. She'd never had trouble with Gallileo before. Suddenly Gallileo leapt back from the thing and barked. "What is it boy?" she asked. The little thing sat up, yawned. Aurora stared open-mouthed. It was red, furry, and standing probably came up to her waist. It was wearing white mitts, and looked like it had claws for knuckles. It had red dreads too. It rubbed its dark, twilight blue eyes, and yawned again. Then it saw her. "Hellwo," it said in nearly perfect english. Aurora gawked. Her blue eyes wide. "I said hellwo," it replied, annoyed. It sounded young, and...male? "What are you?" Aurora demanded. "I'm K.A," he told her. "I'm an echidna." He pronounced it "e-kid-nuh". "What's your name?" the little "k.a" thing asked. "A-Aurora Boreal," she replied, shakily. "How comes you ain't got no fur, Aurora?" he asked. "Because I'm a human being," Aurora replied. "Wuzzat?" he asked. "A human being?" Aurora asked. "Well, it's a-" "No," he sounded annoyed. "Shhh, noises." Aurora blinked. She hadn't heard anything. And Gallileo hadn't heard anything, or so it seemed. He was cautiously watching this "k.a.". Suddenly, she did hear something. "CHAOS BLAST DESTROY!" Then she *felt* it. A blast of corrupt, negative energy slammed into her knocking her off her feet. A girl of maybe sixteen/seventeen stepped over her as she lay on the ground. Aurora recognized the sailor scout uniform. It's black scarf, bow, skirt, high black boots, the long, silver hair swirling in the breeze, the dark blue eyes. The girl walked over to the "k.a." thing. "Hey there little man," she smirked. "I'm Sailor Evil, and you're coming with me. Don't give me any trouble, Brat." Aurora groaned. Sailor Evil? What was she doing lying on the ground then? Gallileo growled. The "k.a." thing cowared a little. "I don't wanna go nowhere with you." "Too bad," Sailor Evil snapped. She grabbed the little thing. "Now be a good boy, and I won't have to hurt you." K.A. tried to pull away. "Where ya takin me?" "To see a nice lady named Queen Hecate-Chaos. Now come on you little brat!" Sailor Evil said, she pulled him up. Aurora was scrambling to her feet. "Sailor Evil! Face me, you witch!" Sailor Evil looked at her. "Step aside, girly, this doesn't concern you." "Don't you know who I am?" Aurora demanded. "Another annoying bitch," Sailor Evil replied, laughing. "Choa blondie." She vanished in a swirl of dark chaos energy. Aurora cursed. Obviously that kid had been important, if the sleaze queen Hecate- Chaos wanted him. And she had let Sailor Evil get away with him! Aurora looked at Gallileo. "C'mon boy, let's go to the base." Chapter Three Early Evening: Sailor Scout Base Realm location: Sailor Scout Realm Moon continued walking around the base. It was pretty much empty. She hadn't come across anyone in all the time she'd been awake. She'd looked in all the rooms, and only one remained. Moon tried the door. It opened. She went in. The room contained a large computer monitor. The door shut behind her. "Hey!" Moon cried, trying the handle. It wouldn't turn. Locked in. "Welcome," a voice spoke. She looked around. Who had said that? "I was beginning to think you wouldn't find this place, Moon." The voice continued. A picture flashed onto the monitor. A beautiful female Silver echidna. "Mom?" Moon asked, amazed. "But how-?" The image smiled. "That isn't important. I was worried that you'd never make it here." "Where exactly is here?" Moon asked, approaching the monitor. The image laughed. "Oh, you're so much like your father. You always have to be in control." "Mom..." "This is the Sailor Scout Home base." Moon snorted. "Oh, yeah, that helps." "Moon, you must learn to be more patient. You're about to learn a very important family secret." Moon looked around the room. "In here?" The image frowned. "Appearance isn't always reality, Moon." "Oh, yeah, those are words to live by," she muttered. "Come forward and pick up the object in the glass case." Moon looked at the object. It looked like a golden stick with a crescent moon on the top. "What is it?" "The key to your destiny," the image replied. "Well, what are you waiting for? Go on and take it." Moon opened the glass case and removed the stick. "What is it?" "Your transformation wand." "My what?" "Your transformation wand. You'll need it to transform into Sailor Moon E. And you to your Realm Protector form." "Who?" Moon asked, confused. "My what?" "Sailor Moon E," the image replied patiently. "Every so often, the Master Powers awaken. When they do, so does the need for the Protectors. You were born for this, Moon. Born to acts as Protector to all the realms from Hecate-Chaos, and all others that would upset the inter-realm balance. Sailor Moon E can exist in all Sailor Scout Realms. She is the Realm Protector form for them. Through her, and your true Realm Protector form, you are a wielder of the Master Tools. She is called Sailor Moon E, but in the non- sailor realms, you can create your own name for her. As, will Guardian Warrior Ash I'm sure, and the others. You and your half-brother were born into great destinies. Among the other Protectors you will stand to battle in the Armageddon." "The Armageddon?" Moon blinked. "Mom, I don't understand..." "Not now, but one day you shall. Right now this realm, and it alone, should be your concern. Watch the monitor." Moon did. A picture of a sneering human female flashed on. Long silver hair, wild and unsecured. She was wearing something like a sailor outfit. The scarf was black, as was the skirt, and bows. She wore high black boots, and a nasty sword gleamed in her gloved hand. Her eyes were a dark blue, but they had a look of trouble to them. Then she noticed something else. The squirming kid in the girl's hands. "She's got K.A.!" Moon exclaimed. "That," the image of her mother sighed. "Is Sailor Evil, chief warrior for Hecate-Chaos' NegaForce. And your evil double." "I don't like the sounds of that," Moon muttered. "Agreed. You shouldn't. Now, the next part gets slightly more difficult to explain. Perhaps you should transform first." Moon was skeptical. "How do I do that? And what exactly am 'transforming' into?" The image smiled. "You'll see. Pick up the wand. Hold it up, above your head and focus on it." Moon did as she was told. "Now," the image smiled. "Call out: Silver Moon Emerald Power." Moon did. "SILVER MOON EMERALD POWER!!" "My Queen," Sailor Evil bowed before Hecate-Chaos. "I brought the child, as per your instructions." K.A. kicked and fought in her arms. "Ahh, excellent work, Sailor Evil." Hecate-Chaos smiled. "Now, there's someone I would like you to meet." She gestured to the shadows. As Sailor Evil watched, a *very* cute human guy stepped out. He was clothed in a full formal tuxedo, a cape, a tall hat, and gloves...the whole bit. A black mask completely obscured his eyes. Black hair fell out from under the hat. "Sailor Evil," Hecate-Chaos smiled. "I'd like you to meet your new partner...Tuxedo Mischief!" Moon opened her eyes. The energy storm she had experienced seem to have passed. She looked down. White gloves now covered her hands...which had four fingers! She spun around and caught sight of her reflection in a mirror. She was human! Undoubtedly, undeniably human! She looked like that Sailor Evil. But her scarf and skirt were royal blue. Her bows red. She had red knee high boots, the tops stripped with white, and a single crescent moon was on each. The moons matched the one on the red choker around her neck. Her hair, now silver, was gathered up into a single bun on her head. A golden clasp, set with a red stone, secured the bun in place. Three strand on each side of her head remained out of the bun. They hung down to about chin level. Then, from the bun, six more strands, shoulder length, swirled. Lastly, six delicate "pony tales", almost like tiny dreads, waved around down to past her boot tops. They split into two groups of three and swirled off to one side. "What happened?" Moon asked. Her voice sounded different. "You've transformed, excellent. Now to bring you up to speed on this realm's events..." the image stopped. Moon wondered why. She turned. Someone had entered the room. Chapter Four Sailor Scout Base: Evening Realm Location: Sailor Scout Realm It was another female human. She had long, wavy white hair...with a light blue tint. She was dressed in a sailor outfit too. Her scarf and skirt was deep blue, a darker color than Moon's. Her bows were silver. She had knee high deep blue boots. Her tiara was silver and set with a blue stone. Her eyes were also silver. She looked about 14/15. She saw Moon. Her eyes narrowed. "So, Sailor Evil, you've decided I'm finally worth coming for?" "Hey waitaminute..." Moon began. "I'm not-" She didn't get a chance. The girl raised a arm. "Astral..." A white mist formed. "...Aura..." The Mist disappeared and reformed around Moon. Moon blinked. What in the name of the Mother Goddess was going on? The girl smirked, but Moon could barely make her out through the mist. "...Disintegrate!" Moon felt the mist begin to lift, but she also felt weak...it was taking her energy with it! "No!" Moon gasped. Words came to her instinctively. She raised an arm. "Silver..." she felt the energy collect in her hand... "...Moonbeam..." she pointed and aimed at the girl... "...Shatter...!" the energy discharged and destroyed the mist. Moon blinked. She could see her attacker now. "Who are you?" "What do you mean 'who am I'?" the girl snapped. "I'm Sailor Astra! Who are you?" "Sailor Moon E!" Sailor Moon E cried. "What's the idea? Trying to mist me?" Sailor Astra frowned. "I thought you were Sailor Evil. You two look a lot a like." "Yeah, she's my evil double," Sailor Moon E replied. "Why should I believe you?" Sailor Astra demanded. "How do I know you're not Sailor Evil trying to trick me?" "She's not Sailor Astra," the image of Moon's mom said. "Hey...you're the one that gave me my transformation wand..." Sailor Astra pointed. "Yes, and the same one that gave Sailor Moon E hers." The image spoke gravely. "I've prepared a distress signal to send off to the other Sailor Realms. Hopefully they can send help." "The other Sailor Realms?" Sailor Astra repeated. "You mean that I'm not the only Sailor Scout left?" "Ahem," Sailor Moon E cleared her throat. "I think you mean 'we're not the only ones'." Sailor Astra shot her a look, and replied sarcastically. "Sure." "No, there are other Sailors in other Realms, and hopefully they'll answer our plea for help. I'm sending the signal out now." The image paused. "Until they answer you girls are on your own." "Just the way I'm used to," Sailor Astra replied. "Sailor Evil's gonna play for that little attack this afternoon." "And for taking K.A.," Sailor Moon E added. "You know that K.A. thing?" "Yeah, he's...he's someone I'm looking after for a while." "Well, Sailor Evil's baby-sitting him right now, girlfriend." "She won't be for long," Sailor Moon E told Sailor Astra. "No way." Chapter Five Hecate-Chaos' Palace: Night Realm Location: Sailor Scout Realm "Now," Hecate-Chaos smiled at the little red echidna in the cage. "I cannot believe that capturing Guardian Warrior Ash was so easy." "If I may speak, My Queen," Tuxedo Mischief approached her. "Why is this child so important?" "This child, my dear boy, shall grow up to become a Protector. A wielder of the Master Tools. And he will help us find the indicator wand, and then all the Tools!" "Who's gonna take care of the brat?" Sailor Evil demanded. "You will," Hecate-Chaos replied. "Me?" Sailor Evil wailed. "C'mon! That is so unfair! Why should I have to take care of him? Because I'm a girl?!" "I'll care for him, my Queen," Tuxedo Mischief spoke up. "I'll see that he doesn't fall into the wrong hands." "You moron, he already is in the wrong hands." Sailor Evil snapped. "Make sure that Sailor Bitch Astra doesn't get him." "Sailor Bitches?" Tuxedo Mischief asked, confused. "Ahh, yes. You do remember your sworn enemies, the sailor scouts, don't you Tuxedo Mischief?" Hecate-Chaos asked. "No, my Queen. Alas, how I wish my full memory would return so I could serve you best!" Tuxedo Mischief said. "Suck up," Sailor Evil muttered. "Sailor Evil!" Hecate-Chaos snapped. "You will draw that Sailor Astra out so that Tuxedo Mischief might learn of what see looks like. Tuxedo Mischief, take the child and let Sailor Astra see him. Tell her our demands are that she hand over the Silver Moon Emerald and the Indicator wand, and we'll release the child into her hands." "Will we, My Queen?" he asked. "No, you moron!" Sailor Evil yelled. "It's a lie!" "Go my faithful warriors," Hecate-Chaos smiled. "Go and show that Sailor Scout what you're capable of! Go in my name...and spread Chaos!" The alarm went off while Sailor Moon E was trying to get used to being human. Sailor Astra had burst into the room, and demanded she come with her right away. "What's going on?" She asked. "A NegaForce attack! Sailor Evil! Hurry! C'mon," Sailor Astra waved her over to a door. "She's almost at our front door. Man, that witch has nerve." Sailor Moon E (she was gonna haveta get used to thinking of herself as that!) and Sailor Astra went out the door to face Sailor Evil. Sailor Evil was standing, her sword out, waiting for them. "Sailor Astra," she sneered. "Who's your little friend?" "I am Sailor Moon E, you wannbe clone!" Sailor Moon E yelled. "Oh, I'm shaking in my boots." Sailor Evil sneered. "What do you want, you witch?" Sailor Astra demanded. "Just to show you something, Sailor Asty, and you too, Sailor Moony." Sailor Evil laughed. "It's so good to know you found a friend, Asty, you'll need all the help you can get! I'd like to introduce *my* new partner...Tuxedo Mischief!" Tuxedo Mischief appeared near Sailor Evil. He held a squirming little red echidna in his arms. Sailor Moon E gasped. The tall, handsome figure in the tux, cape, hat, and mask, had her "little bro"! "K.A.!" She cried. "Don't worry, everything will be all right!" K.A. searched out her voice and saw her and Sailor Astra. "Moon!" he cried. "The bad lady took me and hurt Aurora!" Sailor Moon E gasped simultaneously with Sailor Astra. K.A. could tell who she was! Somehow he knew! Sailor Astra gasped because the kid had used her real name. "How cute, Sailor Moony is trying to be motherly." Sailor Evil snickered. "Tell the sailor wimps what they have to do to get little "k.a." back, Tuxy." "Sailor Moon E, Sailor Astra, we meet at last." Tuxedo Mischief glared at both of them. Sailor Moon E frowned. His voice...it was familiar...but she couldn't place it. And with his eyes completely hidden behind that black mask, he was impossible to read. "Whadda ya want cape boy?" Sailor Astra demanded. "Hand over the Silver Moon Emerald," Tuxedo Mischief demanded. "And the Indicator wand, and we'll return little "K.A." to you, unharmed." "You'll never get the Silver Moon Emerald Tuxedo Jerk!" Sailor Moon E yelled. "Yeah, and we don't even know what the Indicator wand is!" Sailor Astra added. "Then, say good-bye to K.A. forever!" Sailor Evil yelled. "And here's a little something to remember us by...CHAOS BLAST DESTROY!" Sailor Moon E felt the corrupt energy start to collect, and throw itself at Sailor Astra. "Sailor Astra! Look out! SILVER MOONBEAM SHATTER!" Sailor Moon E retaliated with her own attack, destroying the energy field that had descended upon her fellow scout. "Thanks Sailor Moon E!" Sailor Astra replied. "Look out!" "Huh?" Sailor Moon E wondered what she meant. Then she saw that Tuxedo Mischief had throw something at her. It was a single blood-colored rose. "Moon look out!" K.A. called to her. "ASTRAL AURA DISINTEGRATE!" Sailor Astra released her own attack, the mist consumed and vaporized the rose. Sailor Evil gawked. "They...they...destroyed our attacks...!" "C'mon," Tuxedo Mischief pulled on her. "Let's get back to Queen Hecate-Chaos before they do the same to us." "No!" Sailor Evil snapped. "I am not retreating." She grabbed K.A. "Just for that Sailor Wimps, the little brat gets it!" She held K.A., a hand clamped over his mouth, and the other around her sword. "You're a bad lady!" Sailor Moon E heard K.A.'s muffled and barely audible remark. Then she saw his blue eyes narrow. He sunk his teeth into Sailor Evil's hand. "Ahhhh!" she screamed and dropped him. "Why you little monster!" She went to grab him, but he wasn't a dumb little kid; he ran. "That's it, K.A.!" Sailor Moon E called. "Right over here!" "Hurry up, kid!" Sailor Astra called. "Before she recovers...here, I'll help ya!" She raised her arm. "Astral...Aura...Disintegrate...!" Sailor Evil saw it coming. Just before the mist could form around her, she vanished in a field of corrupt energy. "K.A," Sailor Moon E cried, catching a hold of the five-year-old. "You're all right! Oh, I was so worried!" K.A. spat out a piece of white cloth. "I bit the bad lady, are you mad at me for biting?" Sailor Astra laughed. "She shouldn't be. That Sailor Evil totally had it coming." Sailor Moon E smiled. "Yeah, she sure did." "As much as it destroys me to break-up this touching reunion," Tuxedo Mischief's voice cut through her happiness. "You still have me to deal with." Sailor Moon E looked at him. He was pretty handsome standing there, the moonlight shining on his tux, but *she* had a boyfriend. And *he* was completely on the opposite side. "Back off Cape-boy," She told him fiercely. "Try anything and you won't live to regret it." Sailor Astra gave her an odd look. Maybe sailor scouts weren't supposed to use such threats. "Why don't you just crawl back under your rock?" Sailor Astra suggested. "We won, you lost." Tuxedo Mischief smiled. It was a truly chilling expression. "Oh, you won did you?" "What are you talking about?" Sailor Astra demanded. "We got the kid back." "Did you?" He continued to smile. He began to fade in a swirl of Shadows. "K.A.!" Sailor Moon E cried as the child in her arms began to lost substance. He too was fading into nothing but shadows. "As you see, Sailor Scouts, my powers are far beyond your understanding." Tuxedo Mischief's voice lingered behind, floating up and down on the wind. "Until next time..." "You're damn right!" Sailor Moon E shouted. "Damn right, there'll be a next time! And we'll get K.A. back then! You cheat..." Sailor Astra glared at her. "Don't get so touchy, Sailor Moon E. We lost. He outsmarted us. We didn't know our enemy, and we let our guard down too soon." "He cheated!" Sailor Moon E protested. "So what? He's Negascum. That's what they do." Sailor Astra turned and started to walk off. "I'm going back the base. Are you coming or not?" Epilogue Queen Hecate-Chaos' Palace Realm Location: Sailor Scout Realm "Tuxedo Mischief, I am very pleased with your performance," Hecate-Chaos told them. "Not only did you recover the child that Sailor Evil lost, but you proved yourself a worthy servant of my NegaForce." "My Queen, it is my humble honor to serve you," Tuxedo Mischief bowed before her. "Leave us then, Tuxedo Mischief. Take the child with you. You have assure me you can be trusted in the great responsibility of guarding him." "As you wish it, my Queen, so I shall I obey," Tuxedo Mischief rose and took K.A. with him. "As for you Sailor Evil..." he heard Queen Hecate-Chaos begin as he exited. "Your cowardice and general lack of skill disgusts me..." "I don't like you," K.A. said, as soon as they were out of the throne room, and into the shadows of the palace hall. "Oh?" Tuxedo Mischief asked, as he removed his mask. "And why is that?" "Cause you brought me back to the bad lady!" K.A. yelled. Tuxedo Mischief regarded him thoughtfully with his green eyes. "Well, you just stick with me, kid, and I'll see that she doesn't lay a hand on you." K.A. regarded him carefully. Then he whispered: "Hey, you're-" "Shhh," Tuxedo Mischief covered put a finger to his lips. "Our little secret."
