CHAPTER 2: WHO'S THE NEW ENEMY?



Its 4:30 PM. The friends, excluding Serena, gather in the temple where Raye lives. They're talking about the fight against the unknown opponent, and Mina is the first to speak - You know gals? I would like to know who that woman is.
- We all want the same thing, Mina. -
Answers Amy, who then drifts into a memory…

* Flashback *



It's a few hours prior and the Sailor Scouts are still in Park Nº 10 looking for the unknown woman, while Eternal Sailor Moon talks with Tuxedo Mask. Mercury approaches the attacked man, who barely can stand. - Are you ok? - She asks.
- Yes - Replies the clearly tired victim, - Thanks God you all came just in time. That woman is crazy!
- Tell me: Did she ever mention her name or if she works for someone else? -
Mercury inquires.
- No. She just said she's looking for something she believed I had. I told her it was the first time I heard about it, but she didn't believe me and… if you hadn't come she would have killed me.
- What thing are you talking about?
- If I remember well, I think she said something like… A "Pure Essence"


* End of Flashback *



Mercury returns to the present, and states, - I would like to know what that Pure Essence is and why she wants it.
- Umm… Maybe a kind of rock.
- You think so, Mina?
- I don't think so -
Comments Raye, thoughtful - It has to be something else… maybe a soul…- Just then a familiar voice is heard from a distance, so the young girl drops her head and rolls her eyes in exasperation. Instants later, Serena appears in the doorway, accompanied by a tall man, who's about 21 years old, with black hair and blue eyes. - You're late, as always.
- Well, I can explain it… huh… umm… -
stutters Serena
- Darien, - Interrupts Raye, addressing the young man, - What happened?
- We were making good time, but then she wanted to get some ice cream and… -
the man trails off.
- Serena! - Exclaims the teen, rage flashing in her eyes. - If you want to get fat, fine! But at least be punctual on our meetings.
- I don't want to be fat. It was just ice cream. -
Serena retorts
- More like 6… - Everybody looks at Darien, who's looking rather sheepish. He then says to the little blonde girl, - Serena, don't think I'm being rude, but Raye is right: You shouldn't eat like this.
- But Darien… -
Serena whines, her blue eyes beginning to water, - I thought you loved me!
- And I do love you, but I think you should at least try to control your food habits.
- B… but… -
Instantly, she begins to cry while the rest of the girls just watch her, awkwardly.




PJ walks around Tokyo trying to learn more about the city. One of her destinations is the Science Museum but, even though she was using a map, she became utterly lost. She mutters, - Oh God… I think I took a wrong way. What can I do now?
- Mind if I help you?, -
She turns around to face a young man who looks to be 20, with blonde hair and brown eyes.

The teenager nods, but stands static and quiet as the guy approaches her whilst talking, - Where are you going?
- To the Science Museum, -
She answers quietly, - But I don't know where to go.
- I see. May I see the map? -
She gives him the paper and then he starts explaining to her all the routes she might take. It only takes 2 minutes -…Then you take the bus and you'll reach in the bus stop just in front of the museum. Do you understand?
- Yes Thank you very much. -
PJ says gratefully.
- You're welcome. My name's Andrew, by the way. May I ask who you are?
- My… my name is PJ.
- PJ?, -
She nods, and he continues, - Hmm, I bet you aren't from here. Is that right?
- Yes. I come from Athens.
- Athens? Wow, I never thought I would have a Greek goddess in front of my eyes.
- Goddess?, -
PJ blushes furiously, feeling flattered because the boy who said it is a good looking guy, - You're… exaggerating.
- Shy, aren't you?, -
She blushes more, turning her face away from that guy, - Well, just remember the instructions I gave you. I know you'll get there. - She nods, and bows, - It was a pleasure to help you. - He winks, going into a gaming center while the young Tatopolous goes to the museum.




A red sport car races at a high speed around the streets of Tokyo. It's driven by a young, fairly masculine, blonde woman. At her side is another girl who looks the same age, and has much more feminine features complemented by her semi-wavy aquamarine hair. In the back seat are 2 more girls: One is near her 20's, with long dark green hair, and the other is a child, about 13 or 14 years old, who has straight black hair. All of them feel the soft wind whipping through their hair, watching the buildings flash by, when the car abruptly stops. They all stare, just in front of the car, where a small, very scared PJ holds a map in front of her with trembling hands.

The blonde one begins to yell angrily, - Next time be careful! I could have hurt you!
- I… I'm sorry… I didn't… -
PJ stutters
- Take it easy, Haruka, - Says the aqua haired girl calmly, - At least this car didn't go any further.
- I know, Michiru, -
Exclaims the blonde girl, trying to remain calmed, all the while focusing on the newcomer, - Are you ok?, - she asks. PJ simply nods, takes all her stuff from the street, turns around and starts quickly walking away.

Haruka notices the paper she has in her hands. - Is that a map?, - The Greek girl stops, turns around and nods, blushing. Haruka nods, and then states, - So you aren't from around here. Come: I'll take you, it's the least I can do.

PJ stands quietly, thinking - Will I be ok taking a ride with those strange girls?




The red sport car races about the populous streets of Tokyo, now with a new passenger onboard. PJ keeps quiet, looking at the passing landscape, until Haruka interrupts her thoughts, - You don't seem to be Japanese. Or I'm wrong?
- No... I'm from Greece. -
It's hard for her to speak, her shyness restricting her voice. Yet she tries her best to not to be so anti-social. - I'm enrolled in an interchange. I just came few days ago, and yesterday I started classes.
- A foreign one traveling alone. That means you don't know anyone. -
Haruka deducts.
- It's true… I only barely met a classmate called Serena.
- Serena? -
Interrupts Haruka, surprised, - Do you mean Meatball Head?
- Meatball Head? Are you her friend?
- We just know the girl…, -
Replies the aqua haired girl, with a calm air.

The silence falls once again. Just then, PJ notices that the little kid at her side is staring at her intently. The dark haired woman also takes notice of that unusual concentration, and she asks: - Hotaru? Is something wrong?
- No, it's nothing -
She replies, still not taking her gaze off of PJ.




Minutes later the car rolls to a stop in front of the museum. PJ leaves it, looking at the building. - This is it?
- That's right -
Responds Haruka, - If you need to get back home, ask a watchman to help you.
- OK -
She nods at the teen group in thanks, - Thank you for bring me here.
- You're welcome, and when you meet Meatball Head send her our regards.
- I will. Good bye. -
The car then leaves and PJ enters the museum.

As they pull away, Hotaru comments thoughtfully, - That girl… I could sense a great amount of energy within her.
- I also noticed that -
Concludes Haruka, - We should keep her watched… Something tells me that she is involved in some way with the new enemy who has just appeared…




The friends are still in the Temple and, after a while of tolerating Serena's crying, they finally begin to talk about the issue at hand: Their new opponent.

Lita begins, - Raye, do you really think that Pure Essence is like a soul or spirit?
- I'm not sure, but it's the most probable… -
Then she puts a hand under her chin, pondering, - You know what? Maybe that guy has that Pure Essence after all, but he didn't' know about it.
- I don't know, Raye, -
Says Amy, - You might be right, but I still have too many doubts… The probability of finding a specific person in a city full of millions on your first try… is really low. I highly doubt that was the right person.
- Amy… -
  Interrupts Serena, - When you use Math… you confuse me.
- You always get confused, Serena. -
Raye quips.
- What do you mean with that, Raye? - The friends are about to argue again when suddenly Luna arrives, followed by a white cat with blue eyes and a half moon over his head. They all exclaim, - Luna! Artemis!
- Gals! -
Exclaims the kitty, a bit tired, - The enemy is attacking again!
- Where?
- In a store near the Science Museum, -
Replied Artemis, - Hurry up, gals! - They nod, and then each one takes their transformation henshin to become the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask, and they finally rush into the city, and towards the museum.




PJ is studying the fossil of a Tyrannosaurus Rex when suddenly the whole museum rumbles. She looks around, noticing the museum's guards rushing toward the entrance. She exclaims, - What's going on?
- I don't know, young girl, but I suggest you to find a safer place: Quickly!, -
a guard tells her.
- Alright. - She begins to search for a safer place, but her curiosity wins over in the end, so she runs towards the entrance, finding an unknown woman attacking the people inside an electronic store.




A thunderous battle was taking place outside the museum. The stranger is hit by several attacks, and when she turns around she discovers a group familiar to her, - You again? - She snarls.
- That's right! - Answers Serena, transformed as Eternal Sailor Moon. - I am the Sailor Senshi fighting for Love and Justice. Sailor Moon! In the name of the Moon, I shall punish you!
- Don't make me laugh. -
In that instant, the woman launches several deadly energy beams at the group.




PJ is standing quiet but yet marveled; The group of senshies is famous in her country and she has always admired them, - I can't believe it! The famous Sailor Scouts!

Sailor Jupiter launches her Jupiter Oak Evolution, an attack which hurts the stranger somewhat. She stops, glaring at the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask, when Sailor Moon breaks the silence: - Who are you and what do you want?
- Hehehehe… -
That evil laugh aggravates the senshies further, - My name's Ursula and I'm looking for something rather valuable us.
- Us? -
Asks Mercury, and her eyes betray her fear, - Does that mean there are more involved?
- That's right, kid -
Answers Ursula, a mocking expression on her face, - I'm just a member of the Darkness Kingdom.
- The Darkness Kingdom? -
Asks Sailor Moon nervously, - That sounds really scary…
- And it is! But I don't plan to waste time in stupid exchanges… I'LL FINISH YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL! -
After those words, Ursula shouts words unknown to any of the girls and rapidly, several black roots spring from the earth, ensnaring the senshies in their crushing grasp.

Suddenly, Ursula is struck by an unseen attacker, and when she turns to investigate she discovers there are more Sailor Scouts: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The woman becomes more infuriated, - More Scouts? That can't be possible!
- Of course it can! -
Punctuating her words, Sailor Uranus launches her attack, beating Ursula back, while Sailor Saturn uses one of her techniques to destroy the roots, freeing her partners.

Sailor Moon rises quickly, using the cover of the confusion to use her moon scepter and launch her Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss, but just like last time, the woman escapes before the attack reaches completion.




Minutes later, the Scouts stand up after resting slightly. They convene as a group. Venus is the first one to speak, - You came just in time, gals. Thanks.
- This isn't over yet… The enemy is near and we need to be careful. -
After Sailor Pluto says this, she and the outer senshies leave the museum silently, although Sailor Uranus glances back at the museum, where PJ is hiding, showing a troubled look.

PJ is confused: Why was that Sailor Scout watching her like that? And what is going to happen to the scouts now?




Still hidden, PJ debates on whether to remain in hiding, or to go meet the senshies that she idolizes. On one hand her timid nature was screaming at her to stay in hiding, in the safety of anonymity. On the other hand, she wants to take advantage of this unique opportunity so, after some debate, a yet nervous PJ emerges, and approaches the senshies.

PJ still can't believe she is about to meet her heroes. - Wow… The Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask… I never thought I would meet you in person… - She walks, making short and quick steps, her eyes starting to tear with her fear and nervousness, - I feel so excited… Especially because I finally meet my favorite Sailor… - Now she makes quicker steps, nearing them faster, - I really want to, at least, shake your hand…
- Hehe, you make me blush. -
Sailor Moon smiles shyly, waiting for the girl to grab her hand, when she notices the teen girl grabbing another sailor's hand.

The young Tatopolous is full of emotion, all the while talking with her favorite Scout. - I so wanted to meet you, Sailor Mercury!
- Uh? Am I your favorite one?
- Of course you are! You're so astute and smart, that's why I really appreciate you. -
And as PJ continues to admire Mercury, the others laugh softly, noticing a very surprised Sailor Moon.




Half an hour later, Serena and the others return to normal, and they rush to the Science Museum to meet PJ, but the girl is nowhere to be found. - God… Where is she? - They ask one of the guards where she went, and one tells them she took a taxi not five minutes earlier.

Serena becomes a bit sad. Why is that girl so shy and then she avoids everybody? Why can't be they friends? But the weirdest question: Why does she feels such a instinctual connection with her? It's like they are tied by the strings of fate itself…
Chapter 2 done!!!!! :la:

In this one they find out about the new enemy they should confront. Hope you like it :3
