Hi!!!  Here’s the next chapter in my story.  Now we get some questions 
answered, like what is the energy source in London?  For those of you 
who are familiar with the Japanese episode of Sailor Moon, where Mina’s
friend Katerina makes an appearance, this story assumes the events in 
that episode never took place.

Usual disclaimers apply.

Enjoy!!
Legend of the Excaliber: Chapter 3 - Sailor Scouts in London

	Serena woke up earlier then usual.  She wanted to get a head 
start on packing a suit case for her trip to London.  By the time she 
was finished, it was close to 12:00 p.m.  She went downstairs to talk 
to her family, "Mom, Dad, Sammy, I need to tell you something."

	Ellen immediately went into panic mode, "Was is Serena?  Is 
their something wrong?"

	"Actually, Mom, I and the rest of the Scouts don’t know yet.  
Let me start from the beginning.  At last night’s scout meeting, Amy 
detected some energy signature that recently appeared in London, 
England."

	Luna cut in at this point, "We don’t know if it’s the 
Negaverse or not, but the point is, the scouts, myself, and Artemis, 
need to go to London to investigate.  This will be the Scouts’ first 
out of the country assignment, and we don’t know how long we’ll be 
gone.  It could be hours, or even days."

	Ken spoke up, "How will you get there?  We don’t have enough 
money to get you anywhere near London."

	"The same way we got to the North Pole, off an alien ship, and 
in to a dark crystal.  By Sailor Teleportation," was Serena’s reply.

	"When do you leave for London," asked Serena’s Mom.

	"As soon as I get to Ray’s.  I packed enough clothes for a few 
days," Serena said.

	"You be careful klutzoid," was Sammy’s teasing remark.

	"Hay, I take that as an insult," Serena said, "I mean, I 
haven’t kluzed out in, what, a year.  I got to get going, bye Mom, 
Dad, Sammy."

	With that, Serena was out the door with suitcase, and Luna in 
hand, but not before her family shouted, "TAKE CARE."

	Serena was the last to arrive at the temple.  All the Inners, 
Outer, and Darien were already waiting for her, and Ray couldn’t 
resist her favorite past time with Serena, "So, the Meatball head 
finally showed up.  What took you so long anyway, oh fearless leader?"

	As usual, the predicted occurred, "Wahhhhhhhh!!!!  Why are you 
always so mean to me Ray,"  quickly recovers, "For your information, I 
had to tell my family where I was going."

	Nobody replied to that, they were too shocked at how fast 
Serena recovered from Ray’s ranting.  Usually, she recovers at a 
slower rate.  Luna spoke up, "We don’t have time to talk this out.  
Sailor Scouts transform yourselves."

	"GOTCH YA," was the reply from everyone before they called 
their transformations.

	"MOON CRYSTAL POWER."
	"MERCURY STAR POWER."
	"MARS STAR POWER."
	"JUPITER STAR POWER."
	"VENUS STAR POWER."
	"URANUS PLANET POWER."
	"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER."
	"PLUTO PLANET POWER."
	"SATURN PLANET POWER."
	Darien takes out a rose.
	"EARTH STAR POWER."
	All together, "SCOUT POWER."

	After the Sailor Scouts’ usual light show, they got in to a 
circle to prepare for teleportation, with Tuxedo Mask in the Center.  
Just off the Temple grounds, Rachel and Mark were starting to climb 
the steps.  They decided they needed a day to just relax, and they 
heard the Cherry Hill Temple was the quietest place in town.  Just as 
they went around a corner of the temple building, they saw the both 
the inner and outer scouts, in a circle with Prince Darien in the 
middle, just before they shouted, "SAILOR TELEPORT," and disappeared 
into thin air.

	Rachel took out her communicator to the ship and pressed the 
hailing button.  The Captain’s face came up on the screen before 
Rachel said, "Captain, we just witnessed a Sailor Teleport.  Can you 
track it with the sensors?"

	"We’re already tracking it.  The teleport set off some alarms 
here and we decided to investigate it.  It appears the destination is 
the far side of the planet.  Also, sensors detect the Silver Crystal 
in transit with them."

	"WHAT!?!?"

	Mark’s only reply was, "Well now we know who has it.  One of 
the Sailor Scouts."

	Rachel ordered, "Captain, keep me advised of any other 
teleports.  Princess Rachel out."  She signed off her communicator, 
and turned to her husband, "I seriously dought they’ll be there 
permanently."  Mark only agreed and decided to go some where else for 
the day.

	London had a late night sky line to it.  Although it was early 
afternoon in Tokyo, in London the sun had just gone down for the 
night.  In a London park, all was quiet, until a bright flash of light 
signaled the arrival of the Sailor Scouts.  After they looked around 
and saw no one, they all powered down, and began to take action.  Luna 
and Artemis, who took the ride on Serena’s, and Mina’s shoulders, 
hopped down and Luna said, "Ok, we need to split up into several 
groups.  Amy, I want you to go with Lita, and see what your computer 
can pick up.  Try to find that energy source and report in when you 
do.  Mina, cause of your contacts, I want you and Artemis to check 
with them, and find out what’s been going on around here.  Ray, I want 
you, Hotaru, and Setsuna to look around for the source also.  Use your 
senses to track that source down.  Haruka and Michiru, I want you to 
do the same.  If my memory serves me right you, Sailor Neptune, you 
have a mirror to help you in matters similar to Ray’s, Amy’s, and 
Molly’s methods as well," at Neptune’s nod, while holding her aqua 
mirror, Luna concluded, "Serena.  I want you, Molly, Darien, and 
myself to look around for any Negaverse activity.  We can use Molly’s 
abilities to locate any."  At this, every one split up and did their 
assigned tasks, but not before Luna told them to meet back at the park 
by sunrise.

	Mina arrived at a police station she was quite familiar with.  
It was the Station her friend Katerina worked at, when she left.  she 
stood there for several minutes before Artemis said, "Mina, you got to 
go in their sometime tonight."

	"I know Artemis.  I’m just Nervous.  I haven’t seen Katerina 
in over 2 years Artemis.  What am I suppose to say to someone who most 
likely thinks I’ve been dead all this time," Mina replied.  Finally, 
she summoned up the courage to walk in to the station.  After several 
minutes of trying to get an officer’s attention, she found out 
Katerina was on rounds in the park.  So she ran out and made for the 
park as fast as she could.  Little did she know that she and Artemis 
were followed the entire way by a figure.

	This figure looked at Mina and went wide eyed, "Is that 
Princess Mina of Venus.  If she’s here, so is my sister here?'  The 
figure wasted no time and ran behind Mina all the way to the park.

	Serena, Molly, Darien, and Luna were scouring the town in the 
downtown district.  They had been at it for about an hour now, and 
found nothing out of the ordinary.  Molly decided to brake the 
silence, "Boy, that was interesting, going though a teleport."

	"Ya, it was quite a rush huh, Molly," was Serena’s reply 
before she continued, "Well, that was my 1.....2......3.......4th 
teleport since becoming Sailor Moon."

	"Serena your forgetting the return trip from the North Pole, 
despite the fact you went off course, which makes 5 teleports," was 
Darien’s reply.

	Luna spoke up, "We’re not getting anything here.  Let’s check 
the next block."  Everyone agreed and continued, totally clue less 
that they were being watch from the air by what looked like a Falcon, 
but it couldn’t be seen in the night sky, but it could see them.

	This falcon was a golden Falcon with healthy looking wings, 
but the most striking feature on it was the symbol on its forehead, 
the symbol of the sun, "My charge will be interested to know about 
this." With that, the falcon flew toward the park.

	At the park, Mina, and Artemis have been searching for 
Katerina for only a few minutes, and this park was big.  "Artemis, do 
you have any idea where Katerina might be?  I mean, this is a big park 
you know.  Heck, it’s bigger then Tokyo park."

	"I don’t know Mina.  I’m not her patrol organizer, but at best 
guess I’d say......"  A scream in the night interrupted Artemis

	"Oh, crud," Mina said, "I know that scream any where.  That’s 
Katerina."  Mina got her communicator, "This is Mina to all Sailor 
Scouts.  Possible Youma attack in London Park, near the north 
entrance.  Get here fast."  Mina signed off, and was about to 
transform into Sailor Venus when an idea came to her mind, "Heck, why 
not.  MOON POWER TRANSFORM!!"  In a flash of light, and ribbons, Mina 
transformed into Sailor V, and took off to where the screams came 
from.

	Both Katerina and Alan were running from a nega monster, that 
was bent on taking their energy.  They had been running for several 
minutes now and were beginning to tire.  finally, they tripped over 
tree root and fell down to the ground, and scrapped their legs.  They 
turned to see the Youma, standing over them, ready to strike.  
Katerina took out her pistol, and fired off a few rounds, but they 
didn’t do much good.  Before the Youma could attack and finish them 
off, someone shouted, "CRESCENT BEAM,"  An energy beam slammed into 
the youma and threw him back only a few feet.  Katerina and Alan 
turned around to see the one person they thought they’d never see 
again, Sailor V, "Back off fashion freak, or your going to get 
dusted."  This only enraged the Youma and he sent a number of attack, 
as did Sailor V.  Finally, the Youma fired an attack that sent Sailor 
V flying backwards, and she landed right in front of Alan and 
Katerina.

	"Mina, how....,"  Katerina was interrupted.

	"No time to explain.  To make it short, I got out before the 
building blew," was Mina’s reply

	"Well to make my speech short, that thing is too strong for 
you, my bullets didn’t even dent him,' Katerina warned.

	"In that case, VENUS STAR POWER," in another light show, 
Sailor V transformed into Sailor Venus, "I’m Sailor Venus and if your 
looking for trouble, here it comes right back at ya.  VENUS LOVE CHAIN 
ENCIRCLE."  Venus sent her attack and it wrapped around the youma, 
before she pulled on it and he went falling to the ground.  Right 
after that, a few voices shouted;

	"JUPITER THUNDERCLAP ZAP."
	"MERCURY ICE STORM SPLASH."
	"TORNADO STORM BLAST."
	"MOON SCEPTER ELIMINATION."

	These four attacks and a rose, hit the youma full force.  It 
fell down, after it got up, but quickly recovered and fired an attack 
that encased everyone in a dark force field.  The Youma was about to 
go for the kill when someone else shouted, "SOLAR FLARE."  A very 
bright light of energy hit the youma, and that ruined its 
concentration, breaking the force field.  Every one turned to see a 
someone wearing bright yellow jump pants, a white shirt with bright 
yellow sleeves, and was also wearing a headband, the mystery person 
spoke and was definitely a male about the scouts’ age, "I’m Sailor 
Sol, and I don’t like Youmas like you disrupting my neighborhood."  
Additional voices rang into the night;

	"MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND."
	"WORLD SHAKING."
	"DEEP SUBMERGE."
	"DEAD SCREAM."
	"DEATH RIBBON REVOLUTION.'

	All five attacks hit and destroyed the youma.  Sailor Sol 
walked up to the scouts, and was about to introduce himself, when a 
golden falcon landed on his shoulder.  Luna noticed this first, 
"Apollo, is that you?"

	The Falcon just stared at Luna and said, "Long time no see 
Luna."

	Sailor Moon spoke up, "Luna, you know this........Falcon?"

	"Yes, Sailor Moon.  Apollo was Prince Tranquillity’s guardian 
during the Silver Millennium."

	"And still is, Luna," was Apollo’s reply, gesturing to Sailor 
Sol.

	Luna went wide-eyed, "You mean......."  Apollo nodded his 
head, and smiled as best a falcon could.

	Sailor Moon was not catching any of this, "Luna, who is 
Tranquillity?"

	Luna said three words that Serena never even expected Luna to 
say, "Your twin brother."  At this, Serena did the only thing she 
thought she could do.  She fainted.

	When she came to, it was already Sunrise, and she found 
herself in a room she didn’t recognize, until she saw a picture of her 
and a boy about her age, when she was 5.  The boy was Travis Solaris.  
Just then the door opened and a young man stepped through, and smiled 
at her.  Serena recognized him right away, and ran full steam in to 
him, "Travis."

	Travis just stood there and held his sister tight, "So how’s 
my sister recovering from the shock."  Serena was ready to faint 
again, when it dawned on her, Travis must be Sailor Sol.

	Serena asked, "How is this possible?"  Travis went in to 
detail how their Mother Queen Serenity and their father of the Sun 
Kingdom met, and got married, as well as other details that he could 
remember.

	Just then Amy came in to check on Serena, and Travis excused 
himself for the time being, "So how are you Serena?"

	"I’m ok, but we’ve gotten no where in finding that energy 
source."  Amy giggled at Serena’s statement, "What’s so funny Ames?"

	"Serena, Travis was the source of the energy we picked up.  It 
was the signature of a Sailor Scout emerging," Amy replied.  After a 
little while, they both went downstairs and joined the rest of the 
group.  During the course of the night Mina, Katerina, and Alan did a 
lot of talking and catching up on each others’ lives.  Mina’s friends 
were a little surprised when they saw Mina transform in to Sailor 
Venus during the fight.  They had heard of the scouts in Japan but 
didn’t even suspect Mina was Venus, even though she looked like Mina.

	When Amy, and Serena got into the living room, something 
accord to Serena, "Travis, where are you folks?"

	"If you mean my adopted folks, they’re at work, closing up 
business before we start the move tomorrow," Travis replied.

	Before she knew what she was saying, Serena said, "Your 
adopted too?"  This got everyone curious before Ray spoke up, "The 
meatball head is adopted?!?!"  Serena nodded, before Travis took out 
his birth certificate, and handed it to Serena.

	Serena scanned it briefly, looked at Travis, and smiled, 
"Travis, guess what!  You and I are brother and sister in this life 
time also."  Travis was shocked at this.  Serena told everyone about 
her real parents, Serenity Moonlight, and John Moonlight, and told 
them any thing else they needed to know.

	By the time she was finished, it was in the afternoon, and the 
scouts were tired.  Travis assigned sleeping areas for everyone, 
before he got going with the day.  By sunset, the scouts were awake 
and decided it was time to go back home.  Serena said her good byes to 
Travis, and Apollo, and told them she’d see them when they got to 
Tokyo, in a few days.  The scouts all transformed, got into a circle, 
with Darien, once again, in the middle, and the scouts shouted, 
"SAILOR TELEPORT," and disappeared from the home.

	After the battle, General Maverick and Viper reported to King 
Onix of their finding of another Sailor Scout, he was not happy, but 
didn’t show it, "General Riker, try to keep tabs on this new scout and 
find out if he’s still their or went to Tokyo.  General Viper and 
Maverick, continue your original assignments."  The Generals bowed and 
left.

	As soon as the Scout got back to Tokyo, they powered down and 
went into the fire room, where they deliberated for a few hours, 
before everyone went home.  On the way home, Serena was thinking about 
if she should finally tell her parents that she knows she was 
adopted.  She had known since 3rd grade, when she did a family tree 
project.  It was now dinner time by the time Serena walked in the 
door, "I’m home."  Her family ran into the entry way and demanded all 
the details.  It took several minutes for Serena to calm down her 
family, and went into detail about her entire 24 hours in London, and 
the scout meeting afterwards.  After dinner, Serena decided to bring 
up her topic at hand, "Mom, Dad, can I ask you something?"

	Ellen spoke up, "Sure, Serena, go ahead."

	"How come you’ve never told me I was adopted," Mr. and Mrs. 
Tsukino dropped their silverware at this question.  Of all the 
question going through their heads, they didn’t expect that one.

	Mrs. Tsukino was the first to recover, "How long have you 
known this Serena?"

	"Since third grade, when I did that Family tree project.  I 
never saw a reason to bring it up till now, because as far as I’m 
concerned, this is my family, and I love you all no matter what," 
Serena’s parents relaxed at this, knowing their fears were falsely 
justified.

	Ellen asked, "Why bring this up now then?"

	"Ok, I told you about Sailor Sol, right," at everyone’s nods, 
she continued, "Well, it turns out, he’s Travis Solaris, a.k.a., 
Prince Tranquillity of the Sun Kingdom, a.k.a., my twin brother in 
both life times," at this last part, everyone’s mouths dropped to the 
floor, making Serena laugh historically.  After a few more minutes of 
talking, Serena went to bed, with Luna on her tail.

	At their hotel, Mark, and Rachel were just about to go to bed 
as well, when their communicator to the ship went off.  Rachel 
answered it, "Go ahead captain."

	"Our sensors just detected another teleport, we’ve been 
tracking it since it left the far side of the planet, and about an 
hour ago it stopped in Tokyo."

	"Thanks for the report, Captain, Rachel out,"  She signed off 
and the two went to bed.
