"Serena, it's time to get up!"
     "Mom, it's too early to get up,"  Serena moaned, pulling the covers back over her head.
     "But honey, Alex is here to see you.  Says it's important."
     Serena was up and dressed in under three minutes.  As she stepped down the stairs, she felt Alex's eyes burning into her.  When she reached the bottom step she could see Alex leaning against the door frame, his arms crossed and his eyes set upon her.
     "Uh.... hi Alex,"  Serena said, "What's up?  And why are you looking at me that way??"
     "My class ring please,"  Alex growled, pointing to the bare spot on his right hand.
     "Right,"  Serena said, slipping the ring from her finger and placing it in Alex's open palm.  Just then Reeny burst in and hid behind Serena.
     "What's the matter, Spore!?"  Serena asked sarcastically.
     "There's.... a monster.... outside!"  Reeny panted.
     "You're kidding!"  Alex said.
     "No.  Look!"
     Alex, Serena, and Reeny poked their heads outside and confronted the chest of a fairly large creature.  The three looked up to face Steve Huff.  They backed up and seeing as Steve wasn't entering, Alex said, "Why aren't you coming inside?"
     "You need to invite me in,"  Steve said, smiling and exposing some rather pointed teeth.
     "Oh, my goddess!"  Serena and Alex gasped at the same time, "What happened to you!?"
     "Vampire bite!"  Steve said, "And I'm hungry!!"
     "Serena, Reeny, prepare to make a break for it!"  Alex said, "Ready.  Go!"
     With that he performed a back hand spring which caught Steve under the chin with his boot.  Steve flew through the air, giving the three a chance to run.  As they ran through town, they transformed into Sailor Moon, Sailor Star Dancer, and Little Sailor Moon.  They then turned to face Steve.
     "Sailor Moon, contact the other Sailor Senshi.  Tell them to meet us near Main Street.  I'll try to hold Steve off."
     Just then Steve transformed into Sailor Thunderbolt.  He drew his swords and said, "You'll never be able to kill me!"
     "Wrong buster!"  Alex said, holding his hands above his head, "Star Hammer!"
     As soon as the hammer materialized, Alex threw it through the air.  The hammer made contact with Steve and blasted right through his chest.  To Alex's shock, Steve was still standing.
     "That tickled!"  Steve taunted.
     When Alex heard this he turned and ran.  Steve followed.
     When Alex reached Main Street, he met up with the other Sailor Senshi.  They all turned to see an army of vampires heading in their direction.
     "Here,"  Ben said, setting a crossbow in Alex's hands, "you might need this."
     "What am I going to use this for?"  Alex asked.
     "Use it to stop the vampires.  The bolts are made of wood, so they'll act like wooden stakes."
     Alex, not even thinking things through, loaded a bolt into the crossbow, aimed at an undead person, and fired.  The bolt struck right in the creature's heart, stopping them instantly.  The Sailor Senshi then took off running.
     They ran until they reached Elm Street.  When they reached the fork, Alex screamed, "Split UP!!"
     As they charged on, Alex found himself being followed by four of five vampires.
     "I don't want to die this way!!"  he shrieked.
     Just then he reached the McDonald's parking lot. He performed a tiny leap, landing with enough kinetic energy to cause a minor earthquake.  He then performed a super jump onto the roof.  He turned around to face to five creatures.
     "Prepare to be blown away,"  he said, taking the crossbow from his hip holster.  He loaded five bolts into it, aimed, and fired, ending the existence of five more undead slaves.  After this he took his transformation pen from his pocket, opened a hidden panel, and activated his communicator.
     "Pyro Prince calling Meatball Frog, come in Meatball Frog."
     "This is Meatball Frog,"  a familiar voice said, "Wuzup Alex?"
     "I just took down five more vampires.  How are things on your end?"
     "We could use some assistance."
     Before Alex could reply, a large staff struck him in the legs, causing him to fall to his knees.  He quickly recovered, performed a back hand spring to his feet, and performed a super jump into the air.  He summoned his star hammer and dropped it on the person's head.  Once they were down he fired a bolt into the person's heart.  He then landed on the roof of a moving car.
     As the car approached an intersection, Alex leapt onto the beam which supported the traffic lights.  He then leapt to another set of lights, then onto a roof top, and kept leaping from roof to roof until he reached where the other Sailor Senshi were battling.
     The moment Alex saw the scene of the battle, he loaded his crossbow with rapid fire bolts, and began firing wildly.  A couple minutes later the majority of the vampires were down and out.  Once this was done, Sailor Moon took her wand out and healed all the fallen.  With this done they retired to the training room in their head quarters.

     "If we want to defeat these creatures,"  Tod said, "we need to train better."
     "And what better way to do it then in the VR training room,"  Rachel said, walking over to the computer terminal.  She took a seat behind the console and punched some keys.
     "Phase one will be how well you can resist the powers of a hypno,"  Rachel continued, "Matt, Alex, Richard, Tod, Steve, and Brian, you're up first."
     With that she engaged the program.  The scene became a cave and in the center stood the Lunattack known as Alleuro.  He took his psych - club, spun it around, and hurled the sphere at Matt, who managed to dodge it with cat - like agility.  The sphere continued around the room, with every person dodging expertly until it finally reached Alex, who fell under Alleuro's power.
     "You don't stand a chance,"  Alleuro said in his hypnotic voice, "just put down your weapon.  You don't stand a chance."
     "I'm... not... one... to... give... UP!!"  Alex said, his eyes glowing red.  There was a wave of dark flames and there stood Sailor Nega Fire.  His uniform consisted of black combat boots, black, loose fitting jeans, a red t - shirt which said in black lettering "Burn baby, burn!", a black vest, and a gold earring in his left ear with a fire red jewel.
     "I don't like being pushed around,"  Sailor Nega Fire said as he summoned a fairly large flame thrower back pack, "Suck hot death 'cause the pyro prince is back!"
     With that he pulled the trigger, destroying the holographic representation of Alleuro and ending the program.
     Once the program ended, Alex returned to his mortal form, wearing black high tops, denim shorts, and a Washington Huskies t - shirt.  He looked up at Rachel and said, "Ok, so my mental shields aren't that strong.  What's next?"
     "Phase two,"  Rachel said, "is how well you can battle large opponents.  The Star Senshi and Moon Senshi will remember something like these."
     "Why not skip the big bugs in hell,"  Tod said, "and combined that with a game of hide and seek in the forest scene."
     Rachel punched several keys before she said, "Ok, it's ready."
     "Too bad you won't get a chance to try it!"  someone shouted from the door way.  Everyone turned to face three people dressed in black standing against the door frame.  They stepped in and walked towards the group.
     "We heard you have encountered many alien creatures.  We are here to erase these memories."
     With that the person who was speaking produced a strange looking device.  He turned it on and pointed it at the group.
     "Rachel, activate the program!"  Steve yelled, "Everyone else, SCATTER!!"
     As everyone leapt through the air, they activated their visors in order to avoid the flash.  Rachel activated the program and in a second or two the entire room had become a jungle setting.  Each of the senshi landed on different branches throughout the forest.  They each leapt throughout the trees, dodging the men in black.  They also dodged the large insects.
     After minutes of endless leaping, the Sailor Senshi activated their comm - links.
     "Alex calling the Star Senshi.  Please answer."
     "Richard here.  Man, you won't believe this, but I'm right above one of the bugs."
     "Let him have it!"  Matt said.
     There was the sound of an arrow whistling through the air, then an inhuman scream, then silence.  Finally, Richard re - established connection.
     "One less big bug to worry about."
     Just then someone who doesn't normally wail began screaming.
     "Guys, set your visors to my location!!"  Tod wailed, "I'm in deep shit!!"
     Everyone activated the tracking systems in their visors.  What they saw wasn't settling.  There was Tod, trying to escape from one of the bugs.  The bug had a hold of his cape and was dragging him back.
     "Tod, this is Alex.  Cut your vest loose!!"
     They saw Tod take his knife from his hip scabbard and slash the buttons off his vest.  A couple seconds later he was free and bare chested, the odd light rippling off his perfectly toned body.
 Tod took his whip from the catch on his belt and began lashing it around.  He then cracked the whip, sending the stars deep into the bug's body.  One good tug of the line turned the bug into lunch meat.
     As Alex watched, he was unaware of the person sneaking up behind him until he was struck in the head, sending him into unconsciousness.

     Sailor Senshi stats - unconscious
     Power of Saturn - off

     Hearing - online and responding
     "What do you suppose happened?"  he heard Steve ask.
     "I'm not sure,"  he heard Richard say.  He detected fear and sadness in the words.
     "I can't believe this happened,"  he heard Rei cry, "Why did they choose him!?"
     "Alex, come back to us!"  he heard Serena wail.
     Just then he felt a power flow through him.  There was a crackling of energy as the power flowed through him.  He then heard the visor running diagnostics.
     Stats: Sailor Star Dancer
     Hyper Booster - standing by
     Agility - powered up
     Moon and Star Power - maximum

     Awakening in progress.
     He slowly blinked his eyes, looking at his friends through the violet color of the visor.
     "What happened?"  he groaned.
     "Oh, Alex!"  Mina exclaimed as she hugged Alex close to her.  She then pushed him away and said, "Nice to see you're doing better."
     "So, what happened?"
     "Well, it's hard to explain,"  Brain said, "you see, while you were watching Tod's narrow escape, one of the MiB snuck up behind you and knocked you out."
     As Brian explained, they weren't aware of the people surrounding them until the shrill whistle of something was becoming unbearable.  Matt and Richard each slipped an arm around Alex before leaping into the trees with everyone else.  A couple seconds later the forest below them exploded in a shower of sparks and brush as the sonic wave ripped the area apart.
     Once the Sailor Senshi were safe in the trees, they tried to come up with a plan.
     "We need to turn their weapons against them,"  Ami said, "All we need is a plan on how to do it."
     "I've got one,"  Alex said, "just give me a second to prepare."
     He hoisted his right hand into the air and shouted, "Star Crystal Power... Transform!"
     The moon and star on the gem of his class ring began to glow.  The star then orbited the moon before there was a flash of light.  Many stars swirled around his body and a crescent moon shaped amulet formed around his neck.  The stars collected around the moon before shooting off in all directions, the brilliant flash forming Alex's shirt.  When he came out of his transformation he was wearing black high - tops, green jeans with a black belt, and a black t - shirt.  He still had daggers on his hips, his star sword, a pouch of charms on his belt, not to mention his crossbow.  He also had a quiver of arrows on his back and a baton on a gauntlet.
     "Cool transformation, huh?"  he asked.  Sweat drops formed on everyone's heads.  When he was everyone's reactions, he took the baton from his gauntlet and leapt towards the ground.
     About halfway down he pointed the baton towards the ground and pressed an invisible switch, causing the baton to grow to enormous size.  He then rode the staff to ground level.  Once there he kept the baton the size of a quarter staff and began to venture through the jungle.
     At one point he heard a rustling in the jungle.  He activated his visor and leapt into the trees.  When he looked down he saw one of the MiB below him.  He loaded his crossbow with a bolt and fired, knocking the gun from the person's hand.  He then produced his Star Hammer and dropped it on the person's head.
     "Oops,"  he said as he dropped the hammer, "Sorry about that."  The person slumped to the ground.  He then activated his visor.  The readings indicated the person to be a vampire.  He loaded a bolt into the crossbow and fired it into the person's heart.
     After ending the person's undead career, the rest of the Star Senshi dropped from the trees to join Alex.
     "Nice job,"  Matt said.
     "Yeah, but there are still two in here,"  Rachel said.
     Before anyone could say anything else, there was the sound of cracking branches.  A couple seconds later.  Dan, Derek, Joss, and Tony dropped from the trees and landed hard on the ground.
     "Nice landing,"  Steve said in a sarcastic tone.
     "I meant to do that!"  Dan said.  Sweat drops formed on everyone's head.
     "Now that we're all here, activate visors and set them to track vampires."  Alex said as he clicked his earring.  The others did the same and soon enough everyone's visors were active.  They then began tracking the other Men in Black.

     As they snuck through the jungle, the Star Senshi felt uneasy and produced their weapons.  They were so on edge that at one point when Tod and Alex met back to back they turned and began attacking one another.  When they finally saw who was who, they stopped attacking and continued their search.
     After a long pause in the action, the group of Sailor Senshi finally confronted the remaining Men in Black.
     "Ready to do battle?!"  Alex asked the others.
     "Ready!"  Derek said, his eyes changing to a dark green.
     "Set to slay!"  Dan said, his eyes becoming royal blue.
     "Let's kick some butt!"  Joss said, his eyes glowing yellow - orange.
     "I'm ready to do it also!"  Alex said, his eyes turning their trademark blood red.
     In a matter of seconds dark flame surrounded Alex, black lightning entrapped Derek, dark ice encased Dan, and negative light surrounded Joss.  When the dark energies vanished, they had become the Dark Senshi.  When the MiB saw how the Dark Senshi had increased their power, they drew their weapons and aimed to kill.
     "Let's burn 'em up!"  Sailor Nega Fire said, "Dark Firestorm Flash!!"
     Waves of dark fire leapt from his fingers, surrounding the Men in Black with a wall of flame.
     "I'll cool 'em down!"  Sailor Dark Water said, "Cold Snap!"
     As he snapped his fingers, twin spires of inky - black ice surrounded the MiB and trapped them before shattering.
     "I'll take care of them!"  Sailor Black Lightning said, "Black Lightning Crash!"
     He produced a whip of dark lightning and cracked it, striking the two so hard and with so much energy the two MiB passed out.
     "Now for the grand finale,"  Sailor Fading Light said, "Dark Arrows Pierce!"
     Two arrows of dark energy pierced the hearts of the Men in Black, ending their careers as vampires.  The Dark Senshi then returned to their mortal forms just as the program ended.  They then headed for their own separate homes.

     A couple days later Alex, Matt Emmerton, Nick, Dan, and Richard were at work.  It had been a typical summer day at the supermarket, complete with people standing in the frozen foods aisle trying to keep cool.
     After a long period of no activity, Alex commented, "This is such a snoozer."
     "Yeah,"  Richard yawned, "I'm bored!"
     There were five beeps as their scout communicators went off.  When they heard this, they ducked behind the counters and answered the call.
     "We're here Luna,"  Dan said, "what's up?"
     Luna's face appeared on the small screen of the communicator.
     "Scouts, we have reports of Negaverse activity in the store... "
     Luna's sentence was cut off by a shout.  A couple seconds later Joe Dombrowski flew over their heads and into the wall. The five looked at the scene and face faulted.  They quickly recovered, took out their transformation items, and ducked into the training room. There they transformed.

     Meanwhile, outside the store, Ryan Shackette and Dave Early were trying to figure out why people were fleeing from the store.
     "Maybe Alex is taking his clothes off!"  Dave said.
     "Dave, you're sick!"  Ryan remarked.
     "And you're just noticing!"
     A sweat drop formed on Ryan's head as they entered the store.  Once inside they witnessed the shear chaos that was occurring.  Sailor Neptune and Sailor Star Blaze were locked in a head to head battle.  Sailors Mars and Jupiter were peeling themselves off the wall and out of the ice and lottery machines.  There was a strange purple and yellow glow in the corner near the beer.  There were odd light patterns near the freezer and finally there was a massive fog bank in aisles 1, 2, 3, and the meat department.
     "What's going on here?!"  Dave exclaimed.
     "I don't know,"  Ryan said, "But I'm gonna join in!"
     With those words he reached behind his back and produced a bag of mean looking explosives.  He took a flash grenade from inside, pulled the pin, and threw it into the center of the store.  The resulting explosion knocked out all the lights and blinded just about everyone.  With everyone helpless, the two quickly moved in for the kill.
     But before either could attack the helpless possessed senshi, Spirit, Tara, and Chloe appeared before the two.
     "Hello, mighty warriors of the stars,"  Chloe said.
     "Wow, a talking cat!"  Dave exclaimed.
     "How did you learn to talk?"  Ryan asked.
     "We'll explain later,"  Tara said, "right now the Sailor Senshi need you!"
     "What can we do?"  Dave asked.
     "Take these,"  Chloe said, performing two flips through the air and producing two elaborate looking gauntlets.  Ryan and Dave picked the gauntlets up and slipped them onto their wrists.  Ryan then said, "Now what?"
     "Just concentrate,"  Tara said, "and if that doesn't work, try shouting the following phrases:
     "For Ryan it's Draco Nova Power!
     "For Dave it's Jupiter Nova Power!"
     The two looked at each other, nodded ,and then thrust their arms into the air.
     "Draco Nova Power!"
     "Jupiter Nova Power!"
     Lightning bolts erupted from Dave's gauntlet, surrounding him and ultimately forming armor of emerald green with golden trim.  Stars formed around Ryan, forming the constellation of Draco the dragon.  The dragon breathed flame upon Ryan, forming armor of gold and silver with rubies and emeralds for trim.
     With the two powered up, the three cats jumped over the front counter and hid in the courtesy booth.  Ryan and Dave walked over to where Sailors Jupiter and Mars were and offered some assistance.
     "Do you need a hand?"  Ryan asked, offering his hand to Sailor Jupiter.
     'He reminds me of my old boyfriend,'  Sailor Jupiter thought as she took Ryan's hand.  She stared into his dark eyes as he helped her to her feet.
     When Dave and Sailor Mars saw how the two were looking at each other, they each moaned, "Not again."  Upon hearing themselves speak the same line at the same time, they too stared into each other's eyes.
     'She's beautiful,'  Dave thought.
     'He's way cooler than Chad,'  Sailor Mars thought as their eyes locked.  They moved in to kiss, but a battle cry pierced the air, returning them to reality.  They turned to see Sailors Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn standing at the end of the registers.
     "Prepare to meet your end!"  Sailor Uranus said.
     "I don't think so Girlfriend!"  a voice said.  Everyone looked up to see a group of Sailor Senshi standing on the tops of the shelves.
     "You're thinking I'm just a pretty blond.  In my case what your see is definitely not what you get.  Sailor V is for victory.  I'm Sailor Venus!"
     "Some people might call me a book worm, but my most lethal weapon is my brain.  Beware, because I am Sailor Mercury!"
     "A moonless night with a star filled sky is where I can be found.  Sailor Star Dancer... Stage ON!"
     "The powers of fire shall cleanse the evil from this planet.  I am Sailor Hellfire!"
     "I'm one cool customer and you're gonna catch frost bite 'cause I'm Sailor Arctic Chill!"
     "Gaze upon me and worship me like many generations 'cause if not, ya might get burned.  I am Sailor Sun!"
     "The fires of justice are burning and I control them.  I am Sailor Flame Sphinx!"
     "I'm the one you should watch out for.  On behalf of the moon I shall right wrongs and triumph over evil, and that means you.  I am Sailor Moon!"
     "All of you are full of hot air,"  Sailor Pluto said as she took her staff from her sub - space pocket, "Dead Scream."
     The garnet orb in her staff glowed and released a ringed ball of violet energy, which slammed into the center shelf, sending bottles and cans to the floor and the Sailor Senshi into the air.  With this distraction, the two new warriors got a chance to attack.
     "Hey scum wad, suck on this!"  Ryan shouted, "I am Warrior Draco and you're toast.  Nitro Bubbles Blast!"
     A large bubble formed in the palm of his right hand.  Ryan then wound up and pitched it forward, causing it to break into smaller bubbles.  But instead of forming a fog, the bubbles exploded upon contact with the floor surrounding the possessed senshi, throwing them to the ground.
 As the senshi tried to recover, the exit doors opened and in walked Steve Young and James Stanley.  As they gazed upon the disaster area and the four senshi who were evil, they both leapt behind the courtesy counter for a quick second.  There they made their own gauntlets materialize so they could transform.
     "Mars Nova Power!"
     "Venus Nova Power!"
     Flames shot from Steve's gauntlet, surrounding him and forming ruby red armor with silver and gold trim.  Stars and streamers unfurled from James' gauntlet, wrapping around his body and forming amber yellow armor with silver trim.
     When the three cats behind the counter saw the two transform, each looked at the others and said, "When did you recruit them? What do you mean you didn't!?  Who did!?"
     Just then a portal opened and out stepped a black cat with a white star - shaped patch on its head surrounding a little gold crescent moon.  The other three cats looked at the newcomer and exclaimed, "Star!?"
     "That's me,"  the cat said, "Warrior Mars, contact Warrior Mercury.  Tell him to hurry!"
     "Right,"  Steve said, taking out a communicator, "John, this is Steve.  We have Warrior business!"
     "Is my sister there?"  John Lynn asked as his face appeared on the small screen.
     "Your sister is Jenn, correct?"  Tara asked.
     "Yes, that's her."
     "She was last seen battling Sailor Neptune as Sailor Star Blaze, and we haven't seen her since."
     "I hope she's ok 'cause I'll kick Neptune's butt as soon as I get there.  John Lynn, aka Warrior Mercury, over and out!"
     No sooner had the transmission ended that the possessed outer senshi decided to attack.
     "World Shaking!"
     Sailor Uranus' attack shook everyone to their knees and sent them flying in all directions.
     "Deep Submerge!"
     Sailor Neptune's attack washed away all hope of retaliation and shorted out all power.
     "Dead Scream."
     Sailor Pluto's attack brought down the final curtain and the roof on the two warriors and the Sailor Senshi.
     "Silence Glaive Apply!"
     Sailor Saturn's attack destroyed the store and opened a tear in the dimensional fabric.  At that exact moment Warrior Mercury and the remainder of the Sailor Senshi appeared.  The tear closed as soon as they arrived.
     "Where did they go?"  Rachel asked.
     "I'm not sure,"  Warrior Mercury said as he reached to his ear.  He touched his earring and a flash of blue light went over his eyes, which formed his VR visor.  He took out a micro computer and began punching keys.
     "According to these readings,"  he said as he worked, "They have been transported to a ship in orbit around the planet Neptune."
     "Anything else?"  Joss asked.
     "Only the fact they're gonna be in deep trouble pretty soon."
     "We must get to them!"  Jess said, tears forming in her eyes.
     "I promise we'll do everything we can do,"  Warrior Mercury said.

     Meanwhile, the Sailor Senshi and the Warriors were trying to dig their ways free of the tons of wreckage.  Warriors Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Draco were digging the others out while trying to figure what was going on.  As soon as they unearthed Sailor Star Dancer, he activated his VR visor, took out his computer, and began scanning the area.
     "Let's see,"  Alex said, "who can explain to me what the hell happened?!"
     "I think I can,"  Nichole moaned.  Alex touched his wrist band, causing it to become a type of flashlight.  He then shined it around the room, shedding some light on the subject.
     Nichole was half buried beneath a chunk of ceiling.  Matt and the others weren't visible.  At this sight Alex began to hyperventilate.  He then ran for a corner, where he was heard vomiting like there was no tomorrow.  A couple seconds later he screamed and ran back to the warriors, hiding behind James and Steve.
     "What's wrong?"  Steve asked.
     "They... someone.... Matt... surgical bay... horrific!"  Alex blurted.  He then began to hyperventilate again.
     "Alex, calm down,"  James said, "take it one more time, slowly."
     "Ok,"  Alex gasped, "I shined my light around that place over there and something caught my eye.  I went to investigate and it was Matt's Hellfire pendant and it was coated in... " he took a deep breath before continuing, ".... it was coated in blood.  I looked up and saw him hanging from the ceiling... and all his insides were on the table and if you don't mind I'm going to be sick again!"
     Alex turned away and began retching again.  A couple minutes later he reached into his pocket and took out his Saturn pen.  He hoisted it into the air.  The outer edge shimmered and began to glow.  He then "drew" a circle with the pen.  The circle then began around him, forming a shield of sorts.  Pure energy radiated through Alex.  A couple seconds later the ring shrank down to the size of a bracelet and vanished.  But what happened to Alex next was amazing.
     His sailor uniform melted away and an amulet in the shape of a sun appeared.  Beams of light wrapped around Alex and solidified, forming black combat boots, tight black jeans, a black denim shirt, and finally a black denim vest.  He opened his eyes and put his arm into the air, finishing his transformation.  He then performed a tornado spin, lifting away the wreckage and freeing his friends.
     Once they were free, Serena asked, "Where's Matt?"
     "I'm afraid he's gone,"  Ryan said.
     "What?!"  Serena wailed.
     "Um, guys, you said the body was in here?"  Dave asked.
     "Yup, that's where he was supposed to be,"  Alex said, "why?"
     "Because he's gone!"
     Just then a loud BANG resounded through the chamber.
     "Oh, crap, what was that?!"  Rei asked, panic in her voice.
     "I'm not sure,"  Ami responded, "but this is way freaky!"
     "I'm with you Mercury,"  Dan said, "This is really scary!"
     With that he took out his own transformation pen and held it above his head.  The outer edge glowed and the symbol of the sun appeared and bathed him in fire.  An amulet in the shape of Mars appeared on his chest.  Waves of flame burned away his sailor outfit and brought forth black hiking boots, loose fitting black jeans, a black t - shirt, and a black denim jacket.  He then saluted, finishing his transformation.
     When the others looked at what had happened to the two, Lita exclaimed, "What the hell happened to you guys!?"
     "We are the SiB!"  Dan said.
     "SiB?  What's the SiB?"  Mina asked.
     "The Scouts in Black!"  Alex said.
     "And I'm the one you're gonna eliminate?"  a voice said from the darkness.  Alex maneuvered his flashlight to the source of the voice.  What they saw was fairly gross, for there stood Matt, or at least his shell, the two flaps of skin from his chest hanging loose.
     "I'm gonna be sick!"  Rei said, changing color.
     "Well, we're not gonna let this go on any longer,"  Nick said, taking his pendant and attaching it to a pen.  He then "drew" a circle with it.  A sphinx of pure flame appeared and burned away his sailor outfit.  The sphinx then became an amulet, which attached itself to his chest.  Flames bathed him and when the flames cleared away, Nick was wearing black sneakers, black jeans, a black t - shirt, and a black denim shirt.
     Richard, seeing what the others had done, took his pendant and attached it to a pen. He then held it above his head.  Next he "drew" a circle of blue energy.  The circle spun around him and an amulet in the shape of the symbol of Mercury appeared on his chest.  Waves of water and ice flowed from the amulet, forming black combat boots, loose fitting black jeans, a black t - shirt, and a black denim vest.  The four Scouts in Black turned to their former friend and prepared for battle.
     "Ready guys?"  Alex asked.
     "Ready!"  the others said.
     "Then let's do it!"
     With that Alex's background turned orange - yellow. He was then surrounded by three chains of hearts, which began dancing like charmed snakes.
     "Venus Melt My Heart Strike!!"
     The chains snaked forth, wrapping Matt up so he could not escape.
     Dan's background became dark green and black and an antenna extended from his wrist band.  Electricity sparked around the antenna, forming a whip of lightning.
     "Jupiter Plasma Bolt Chain!"
     He cracked the whip, wrapping it around Matt and jolting him with a couple giga volts.
     Next, Richard's background turned icy blue.  He formed an orb of blue energy, wound up, and fired it off.
     "Cryo Blast!"
     The sphere made contact with Matt and froze him solid.
     Finally, Nick's background turned flame red.  He was surrounded by a sea of flames, which formed a swarm of fiery bolos.  He then sent them forth to attack Matt.
     "Mars Napalm Bolo Engulf!"
     The bolos wrapped around Matt and burned and burned, for napalm can't be put out.  From the second the bolos began burning, everyone turned away, all trying to forget the terror.  But there would be more terror aboard the ship, which when by the name Event Horizon.

     As they trekked through the many corridors of the ship, they began to get bad vibes from all around.  When they reached the bridge, the terror became overwhelming, for there were body parts scattered all over and guts and insides were everywhere.  Once the initial shock passed and everyone got their feelings together, they were fine.  Or so they thought.
     "Guys,"  Rei said, "I don't like this."
     "You aren't supposed to,"  a voice said.  They all turned to face a person sitting in a dark corner. "Who the hell are you, and what are you doing here?"
     "I am Mars.... "
     "I am Mercury.... "
     "I am Venus... "
     "I am Jupiter.... "
     "I am Moon... "
     "We're the Sailor Senshi!!!"
     "And who are the rest of you?"  the person asked.
     "I'm Sailor Star Dancer... "
     "I'm Sailor Sun... "
     "Sailor Arctic Chill... "
     "Sailor Flame Sphinx... "
     Just then a fifth form flew out of the shadows, landing next to Nick.
     "And I'm Sailor Hellfire!"
     The other four moved away from Sailor Hellfire, leaving him to ask, "What's wrong!?"
     "You... you were.... dissected!"  Alex said, his face turning pale.
     "I was the first to wake up.  I went off to explore the ship."
     The warriors and the senshi surrounded Matt.  They then produced their weapons.
     "Who are you!?"  Steve demanded.
     "I... "  Matt stammered.
     "What is your mission!?"  Dave said.
     "Huh?!"
     "Why were you sent?!"  Shirly asked.
     By now Matt was really angry.  He took his Hellfire pendant from beneath his shirt and shouted, "I am Mathias J. Emmerton, aka Sailor Hellfire.  My mission is to right wrongs and triumph over evil and I'm not going to let this ship destroy me, us, or anyone else!!"
     He then hoisted his pendant into the air and shouted, "Hellfire Nova Power.... TRANSFORM!!!"
     Flames washed over him, burning away his clothing and turning him into pure energy.  The energy burst through the darkness, destroying the dark with light and dissolving the ship and all the evil along with it.  The light then formed a bubble around them and Matt ultimately rematerialized.
     "Now that we're safe, how do we get home?"  Dan asked.
     "Who knows?"  Alex said.  Just then he remembered the gold ring.  He reached into the inside pocket of his vest, touching something round and metallic.  He got a grip on it and pulled out a good sized gold ring.  He hoisted it into the air, feeling the energy race through his body.  The energy then radiated from the ring, extending beyond the sphere.  From the perimeter of the energy field seven large emeralds appeared.  The emeralds spun around the sphere, propelling them toward earth.
     Once they reached earth, they were sent directly to where Butson's stood.  The emeralds gave off a flash of light, which restored the store and set the senshi and warriors down.  The moment they were on the ground their friends ran over to them and started asking a million questions.  As they talked, many vampires and other evil creatures surrounded the group.  Everyone except for Alex scattered.  He stayed in place and produced two boomerangs of violet energy.
     He then hurled them through the air and they spun in a close spiral, slashing away at each of the undead creatures.  The boomerangs then returned to Alex and he hurled them once again, this time shouting, "Twin Boomerangs Combine!"
     A thin beam of energy formed between the boomerangs, turning them into a bolo.  Alex then leapt into the air before shouting, "Crescent Bolo Capture!"
     The bolo wrapped around all the undead creatures and trapped them, closing until they were tied extremely tight.
     "Now to finish this,"  Alex said, but was cut off by Warriors Mercury, Mars, Venus Draco, and Jupiter.
     "We'll finish this,"  Warrior Jupiter said, "Jupiter Plasma Bolt Chain!"
     "Mars Napalm Bolo Engulf!"
     "Venus Melt My Heart Strike!"
     "Mercury Ice Storm Blast!"
     "Nitro Bubbles Blast!"
     The five attacks struck the group of evil creatures and sent them screeching into oblivion.  After that, everyone returned to their mortal forms and headed for the Newport Mall, giving the cats time to catch up and giving themselves time to recover.
