The Champion of Justice

Normally ice skating was Serena's favorite thing to do. But alas Darien had managed to ruin that as well. He looked all morning for something wrong about the way she skated, but by 11 or so he had given up and had taken to competing. "I'm amazed" he laughed as he passed her by skating backwards "You can do a triple twirl perfectly, but you can't walk down the street without falling down." "I'm amazed you can do something besides make fun of me." Serena said through gritted teeth

"Alright meatball-head, once around the rink looser buys lunch" Darien smiled. The Princes skated right up to him and stopped abruptly spraying ice all over him. "Your on" she whispered. And they were off so fast neither was sure if the other had started. Darien was in the lead at first weaving in and out of other skaters. He turned to taunt the Serena but she was gone, she had pulled ahead and he almost ran into the wall. And on the final stretch it looked like she would win, but there was a small nick in the ice that sent her flying forward. By the time she was back on her feet Darien was on his victory lap.

"Well I suppose the best skater won" He sang as the two of them made their way to a street cafe. "I'll have a veggie wrap and an ice water" Serena told the waiter trying to ignore Darien's ever growing ego. "I'll have a cloud" he smiled handing the menus to him "This isn't really fair" Serena said "I mean your making your own money by following me."

Darien was about to say something when the window of the cafe shattered. A terrible brown creature with six legs had jumped through the glass and was now looking up and down the panicked street.

"Death to the moon." squeaked the bug thing People were running in 1000 directions. Tables were over turned and children were screaming for their mother's. Nothing like this had been seen on the moon, no one had done something like this as far as any one could remember. Serena wasn't sure what to think. The monster caught her terrified eye and lunged at her.

Only seconds before the insect would have collided with her Darien jumped in front of her. Serena leapt from her chair while he struggled with it. He fought very bravely wand was knocked aside very quickly. "What am I going to do?" the Princess asked herself "I've gotta help!" "You can't help" Luna cried from behind her She must have run all the way from the palace cause the small cat was heavily out of breath. "But Sailor Moon can"

"Who?"

"Sailor Moon, the Champion of Justice." Luna explained "Long before the Silver Millennium, your great great grandmother was the legendary Sailor Scout, Sailor Moon. She fought all the darkness and evil that was around at that time in the name of the Moon. She become that warrior with this." Luna did a little flip and a small broche fell into Serena's hands. It was pink with gold detail and a rainbow crystal in the center. "There has been no need for a Sailor Scout until now due to our peace. But dark forces are attacking. I wish I could give this responsibility to your mother, but central control insisted upon you. You must fight for these people, the Scouts must fight again." Luna was shouting now

Thousands of questions spun in Serena's mind, but she knew now was not the time. She raised the broach into the air, her hand shaking. Yet some how she knew what to do. "Moon Prism Power!" All of the sudden she was spinning in what seemed like a storm of warm bubbles. But she couldn't she for her eyes wouldn't open. She was floating, the ground had disappeared. There was a tingling on her forehead and the ground abruptly returned. When she was able to open her eyes she found herself standing in a full Sailor Suit of white, red, and blue.

She looked over at the unconscious Darien, blood stained his white shirt. And then she turned to the monster. "I don't care if Darien is a jerk, you will regret this."

"And just who are you?"

"I am Sailor Moon the champion of justice and on behalf of the moon I shall punish you."

The monster laughed and lunged at her again, but this time she darted away with time to spare. Her reflexes seemed to be heightened. Sailor Moon's foot shot into the stomached of the bug and it flew back into a table. "Throw your tiara!" Luna shouted "Moon Tiara Magic" she cried There was a groan of pain and a flash of light, the monster was gone.

Luna was about to congratulate Sailor Moon when a red cloud materialized in the air above them. Out of it stepped a girl about Sailor Moon's age. She was a slender girl with long jet back hair, her blue eyes gleamed like gem stones. She wore a red leather one piece with a low neck and no back, and she was floating a few feet above the street.

"Well it's the legendary Sailor Moon is it?" she laughed musically "I'm sure Darien and the Princes will be grateful, because of you they kept their energies." "How do you know Darien and what do you want with their energy?" she demanded "Oh those two? We only wanted their energy, this is not an assassination thing. I have better things to do with my time, I am Amber of Queen Beryl's court."

"Well you and your Queen better leave the moon alone from now on!" Sailor Moon shouted suddenly feeling very lost Amber laughed again. "Oh Sailor Moon if you only knew!" And with a clap of her hands she was gone.
