It was the same nightmare again.  For the third night in a row he was plagued by visions of stuff to come.  Sailor Moon would fall and a dark moon princess would destroy the scouts.  Six new sailors would arise to crush the dark princess and revive the fallen.  And then...
     He awoke in a cold sweat, the sheets clinging to his body.  He was beginning to wonder what the dream meant  If it kept up he would visit the Cherry Hill Temple in the morning.  There, perhaps, the mysterious girl named Rei Hino would shine some light into the meaning of his dreams.

     The next day he stumbled around, being even more of a klutz than his friend Serena.  Heck, this even beat out the time they went to the chocolate factory and the group left with chocolate dipped meatball head.  As he charged down the street to his school, he tripped on a crack and stumbled into the group of his friends, taking four of them down with him.
     "Alex!"  a tall kid with peroxide blond hair yelled, "Would you mind removing your foot from my kidney?!"
     "That's not my foot, Richard!"  Alex yelled back, venom in the way he said his friend's name, "Besides, you need to remove your knee from my spleen!!"
     The confusion continued for five more minutes until they finally untangled themselves and rejoined their friends, who had since resumed their walk to the school.  By the time they caught up to their friends, the warning bell had rung, signaling they had three minutes to get to home room before they were marked late.  They managed to do it in two.
     Home room was confusing for everyone.  With nine more transfer students within a two month period and talk of strange things going down at the new temple, there was plenty of gossip.
     "Hey,"  someone whispered to Alex, "Do you know what I heard about the people who visit the temple every day?"
     "Of course I do.  They're all space aliens and they go there to suck dryer lint,"  Alex replied sarcastically.
     "No.  I hear that they're really super heroes who defend the planet from the Negaverse."
     "And you would know that because you're actually one of them,"  Alex said, his eyes narrowing to slits.  He turned to face his friend, Crystal Andreas.  They looked into each other's eyes, negative energy electrifying between them.  Finally, Alex smiled and said, "So, what's new?"
     "You are such a butt head sometimes,"  Crystal answered, some of her silver hair falling into her face, "besides, you know we don't eat dryer lint."
     With that remark she elbowed Alex in the stomach, causing his eyes to bug out of his head.  He returned with a nitro punch to her shoulder, causing her to have a super face fault.  She said, "Ok, you win."
     "Thanks,"  Alex moaned, holding his stomach, "I think." he added.
     Just then the tone for the beginning of the first block class went off.  When Alex heard this, he said, "Attention K- Mart shoppers... "  Sweat drops appeared on everyone's heads.  After a severe tongue lashing, they moved on to their classes.
     Alex headed right for band, not even noticing the tiny black cat that walked into his path until he tripped over it and planted his face on the floor.  Crystal, being right behind him and being in one of her trances, walked right up his back, performed the cha- cha on his head, and continued on her way.  By now Alex was not having a good day and couldn't take any more surprises.  Too bad the cat could talk.
     "Alex, we have Sailor business,"  the cat said.
     "Aw, Luna, it's too early for Sailor business,"  Alex whined, "besides, I need to fully wake up first."
     "How long will that take?"
     "About five more hours of sleep."
     A sweat drop covered Luna's face.
     "At least I'm not as bad as Serena."
     The sweat drop increased in size, blotting out Luna's face and head.
     "At least I'm more responsible than Serena and I don't whine as much."
     The sweat drop disappeared completely, leaving Luna with a serious look on her face.  She then said, "Now are you ready for Sailor business?"
     "Yup,"  Alex said, reaching into his pocket for his transformation pen.  A shocked look appeared on his face as he frantically checked his pockets, then his back pack, then his pockets again.  He finally whined, "I forgot it at home!"  He then did something very Serena like.  He cried.
     The decibel level was intense.  The building shook with every wail.  Glass cracked and shattered.  Ceiling panels fell to the floor.  Lights flickered before exploding in showers of glass and sparks.  The roof threatened to collapse.
     Five minutes later he stopped his bawling and said to a very shaken Luna, "Would you happen to have an extra transformation pen?"
     Luna fainted.

     When the cat regained her senses she found herself in the arms of Mina Aino.  The cat moaned, "What happened?"
     "Well, let's see.  Alex had a bawling fit.  Then he asked you something.  Then you passed out.  He left you in the library, where I found you."
     "Where are we now?"
     "In my cosmetology class,"  Mina said, a large grin on her face.
     "Why are you grinning like that?"  Luna asked, a look of suspicion in her eyes.
     Just then Mina's friend, Dawn Wells, came over with a mirror.  Dawn then said, "Wow, your kitty looks beautiful."
     Luna turned around and looked in the mirror.  She then began hissing and spitting at her reflection, for she had on flaming fucia lipstick, rosy red blush, aqua blue mascara, jet black eyeliner, five gold rings in each ear, and a hair style typical of Madonna.
     When Mina saw how Luna was reacting, she grinned and said, "At least you aren't wearing a bullet bra!"  Luna fainted again.

     When Luna awoke, she found herself in the arms of Reeny.  Luna thought, "I must be in hell.  Either that or this is a bad dream induced by that cafeteria food I ate before going to find Alex!"
     "Awww.... Kitty is awake,"  Reeny chirped.
     "That's it, I'm definitely in hell!"  Luna thought.
     "Look how pretty you are kitty."
     Reeny held up a mirror.  Gone from Luna was the make-up and the earrings.  In their place was a Victorian dress and a curly, black layered hair style.
     As Luna admired herself, she thought, "This can't be that bad."  Just then she saw Artemis and Diana enduring the same thing.  Luna giggled, then chuckled, then began an all out laugh.  She laughed until she cried and even then she didn't stop.
     Reeny, never hearing a cat laugh, ran and screamed bloody murder.  Luna, seeing a chance to escape, wiggled free of the dress and jumped out of the open window.  She then ran like the wind until she reached the high school once again.  She dashed inside, transformed into a human, and went in search of Alex.
     A couple minutes later she found Alex in the library.  As soon as she entered she returned to her form as a cat and moved in typical style to where Alex was sitting.  Seeing how Alex was absorbed in a computer game on his laptop, she silently leapt onto the table, walked over to the laptop, and did something very cat like; she lay down on the keyboard and went to sleep.
     Alex, on the other hand, did something in retaliation that wasn't like him; he cranked up the volume on his computer, selected a loud sound file, and clicked play.  The first note through the ultra - bass speakers send Luna into orbit.  As soon as Luna was in the air, Alex shut down the computer, put it in its case, and set a pillow on the table for Luna to land on.
     The cat, still recovering from the rude awakening, remained with her nails dug inches deep in the ceiling.  When she finally calmed down enough she released her claws and dropped silently onto the pillow.  She then said to Alex, "Ok, now do you want to do the sailor thing?  Oh, I forgot, you don't have your pen."
     "I've got it,"  Alex said, holding his pen up, "It was in my shirt pocket."
     A massive sweat drop appeared, completely blocking out Luna's head.  She then moaned, "You're getting to be as bad as Serena."
     A sweat drop formed on Alex's head.  He then said, "Well, excuse me for breathing!"
     As Luna was trying to come up with a witty retort, Richard Doremus, Tod Whipple, and Dan Jensen walked into the library.  When they saw Luna, they all thought the same thing: Sailor business.  They quickly produced their power items and prepared to transform.
    "Arctic Chill Star Power.... "
    "FireStar Star Power.... "
    "Sun Crisis Power.... "
    "MAKE UP!!"
     They went through their transformations and in a matter of seconds Sailors Arctic Chill, FireStar, and Sun were standing there.  They walked up to Luna and said, "So, what is our mission?"  The cat did not answer.
     "Earth to Luna,"  Sailor Sun said, tapping Luna on the head, "Is anyone there?"
     "I think someone left a stuffed copy of Luna on the table and Alex is trying to figure it out,"  Sailor FireStar said.  A flying fist to his stomach soon shut him up.
     "Maybe they're trying the lunar mind meld?"  Sailor Arctic Chill suggested.  A wave of flame told him to keep his mouth shut.
     "Maybe we should leave them alone,"  Sailor Sun said.  He was rewarded with a thumbs - up sign from Alex.
     The three senshi returned to their human forms and left the section of the library.  They returned five minutes later to find Artemis and Diana trying to remove Luna from Alex's face.  They all the same thing, "I don't even want to know!"
     Just then the bell rang, signaling lunch.  The four teens and the three cats beat feet down to the cafeteria, leaving trails of smoke and flame in their wake.  When they reached the hell hole called the cafeteria, all members of the Sailor Teams were present.  Alex, Richard, Dan, and Tod joined them while Artemis, Luna, and Diana sat beneath the table.
     As the teens ate and talked, Luna began to choke on something.
     "What's that Luna?"  Artemis asked.
     "Gmmmmph Grax,"  Luna spat.
     "Say that again?"
     "Raxboltz Goopm,"  Luna choked.
     Just then something small, round, and wet flew from Luna's mouth, striking Diana as it went.  Artemis stared at what he had just seen before saying, "Oh, hairball."  Luna smacked him across the face for being so stupid.

     After the hairball, Luna was finally able to tell the Senshi about their new mission.
     "Last night Amy was running a scan and she discovered six more people with Sailor Powers."
     "Big deal,"  Dorrie O' Rouke said, obviously bored, "I mean, there could be millions of Sailor Senshi out there yet to be discovered.  What's so special about these six?!"
     "The fact that all of them were in the same place when I scanned,"  Amy Anderson snapped.
     "We must find them right away, for I fear the Negaverse is preparing for an attack."
     Just then a monster crashed through the window in search of the Sailor Senshi.  It didn't have to wait too long to find them, for the entire table was on its feet in a matter of seconds, power items out and preparing to transform into the super powerful Sailor Teams.

     As the four became dark senshi, their sailor uniforms melted away to reveal the uniforms they had on the first time they turned evil.  They each introduced themselves.
     "I am Sailor Nega - Fire,"  Alex snarled, "and if you should mess with me you might get burned!"
     "I am Sailor Dark Water,"  Dan snapped, "And I shall wash you sailor brats away!"
     "I am called Sailor Black Lightning,"  Derek growled, "mess with me and I'll shock ya' into submission!"
     "I am Sailor Fading Light,"  Joss said through clenched teeth, "and it'll be lights out for you if you mess with.... "
     They all struck dramatic poses before saying, "... The Dark Senshi!"
     All the other senshi were in open - mouthed awe.  Were these the same four who from the beginning been so supportive of their team mates?!
     "So, what's the matter?"  Sailor Nega - Fire taunted, "Cat gotcha' tongue?!"
     At this moment Luna, Artemis, and Diana popped from their hiding places and proceeded to exit, stage right.  But the four Dark Senshi saw this and they, along with the two dark princesses, trapped the cats and proceeded to cage them.
     "Nega - Fire Surround!"
     "Black Lightning Entrap!"
     "Dark Ice Encase!"
     Dark powers surrounded the cats.  Luna was surrounded by a cage of dark fire.  Diana was captured by a cage of black lightning.  Artemis, on the other hand, was frozen in a block of dark ice.  As the six dark senshi were moving in for the kill, a chakram (a type of boomerang.  Xena uses one), flew by their heads, ricocheted off the walls, and returned to the hand of a girl in a sailor uniform.
     The girl was beautiful.  She looked a lot like Rei, except her hair was shorter, lighter, and curly.  She spoke.
     "I am Sailor Nova, and on behalf of all beauty in the universe, not to mention Xena, I shall defeat you!"
     She threw her chakram again, this time aiming.  The ring flew through the air and struck Alex, throwing him into the wall hard enough to leave an impression.  When the boomerang returned to her hand, she asked in a sarcastic tone, "Who's next?!"
     As the dark senshi moved in her direction, Sailor Nova yelled to the other Sailor Senshi, "Attack plan Jade 45!!"
     "What's attack plan Jade 45?"  Sailor Io asked.
     "It's too complex to explain right now,"  Sailor Neo - Mercury said, "Just follow our lead.  Ready gang?!"
     The rest of the senshi cheered, "YEAH!"
     "Let's do this one for our leader.  Neo - Mercury Bubbles Blast!"
     The bubbles burst forth, engulfing the cafeteria in a thick bank of fog.  Sailors Mars and Neo - Mars, though still weak, joined in the fight.  Each took an evil charm and chanted;
     "We call upon the powers of Mars.  Fireballs.... CHARGE!!"
     Two scrolls flew through the air, each attacking the moon princesses.  Two more from each followed, stunning the dark senshi.  FireStar moved in, his whip in hand, and wrapped up the moon princesses.  Sailor Thunderbolt took his swords and used his entrapment power.
    "Lightning Bolt Wrap!"
     Four lightning bolts shot from his swords, wrapping around the dark senshi and holding them.  Sailor Arctic Chill stepped up to the plate next.
    "Hypothermic Freeze Suspension!"
     Cylinders of blue energy formed around the dark senshi and dark princesses.  The energy then solidified onto super - cold ice.  To top off the show, not to mention help hold the frozen ones, Sailor Callisto used one of her powers.
    "Crystal Shining Web!"
     Cages of crystal erupted around the six, adding some extra protection.  Finally, Sailor Earth stepped forward.  He knelt down, crossed his arms over his chest, and charged up for his power.  When he reached potential, he placed his hands on the ground and called upon his power.
    "Gaia Healing."
     Waves of healing energy poured through the ground and into the six who had turned dark.  The power flowed for many minutes with no luck.  Finally, Sailor Earth ceased the power, walked over to a stool, sat down, and pulled his knees up to his chin.
     "This can't be happening,"  he said, "How can our friends be turned evil without a way to turn them good again."
     "Perhaps I can help,"  Sailor Nova said, stepping forth.
     "Go for it,"  Sailor Earth said, his voice becoming gruff.
     "Ok.  Nova Intensive Heat Wave."
     She stretched her arms so they were straight, with her palms forward, pointing towards the captured group.  From her palms energy began to emmit  The energy wrapped around the six, bathing them in pure heat.  After a couple minutes their outfits returned to their previous state and they began to thaw out.  Once they were free of the deep freeze, Sailor Nova ceased her power.
     When Sailor Neo - Pluto saw Sailor Nova, his jaw dropped.  The same happened to Sailor Star Dancer.  The two walked over to Nova and said, "Rachel, is that you?"
     "That's me,"  Sailor Nova said, returning to her regular form.  When she did that everyone except the Moon Senshi, the Sailor Senshi, and the Outer Senshi recognized her.
     "Who is Rachel?"  Sailor Neo - Sun said, walking up to her man.
     "Um... she was one I dated a long time before you,"  Sailor Neo - Pluto stammered.
     "Ok.  That's all I wanted to know.
     She then returned to her human form of Amanda Jarvis.  The other senshi did the same.  As they all stood around, they heard Luna snort, "I knew I was in hell!" Sweat drops appeared on everyone's heads as they turned to see the three cats still trapped in their mini prisons.
     "Hold still for just one second,"  Alex said, pointing right at Luna's fiery cage, "Ice beam!"
     A beam of blue energy fired from his finger, freezing the flame long enough for Luna to break out.  Alex then turned to Diana's prison and used another power.
     "Dark Energy Absorb!"
     The black lightning flew to Alex's palm, where he absorbed it.  As Alex prepared to free Artemis, Mina said, "leave him like that for a little longer."
     "I h... heard t... that Mina,"  came from the half - frozen cat, "and you had better free me or there will be no Dragon Ball Z for a month!"
     Mina had a face fault and began to cry because if she missed Dragon Ball Z she would simply die.  She then turned to Dan and said, "free him."
     Dan produced a huge fireball in the palm of his hand.  He then aimed at the block of ice.  As Artemis screamed, the fireball became a continuous stream of fire which melted away the ice and freed the frozen cat.  The white cat leapt up on Mina's shoulder and snuggled beneath her long, blond hair.
     With everyone free, Alex walked to Amy and asked, "Was Sailor Nova one of the new senshi you scanned last night?"
     "No,"  Amy said, shock in her voice, "I didn't even record her presence.  The six I scanned were guys."
     "But who could the new sailors be?"  Alex asked.
     "I guess we'll just have to wait to find out,"  she replied.
     Just then the bell rang for the end of school.  As they filed out of the building, Serena had one of her klutz attacks and took Richard, Alex, Tony, and Steve  with her.  Once again there were five people in a pile on the ground.  In all the confusion Lita stared at Tod and said, "He reminds me of my.... "
     Amy heard Lita begin her famous line and said, "Lita, he looks nothing like your old boyfriend!  Got it?!  Nothing like him!!"
     Tod, upon hearing this outburst, turned around to face Lita and Amy.  Sweat drops formed on the heads of the two girls.  Just then Tod got hit by Serena's flying foot.  As he fell on his butt, Serena exclaimed, "Sorry!"
