Chapter 2: First Fight
Over at the jewelry store Mercury's servant Morga had captured Jenni and was attempting to drain her energy.
"Somebody help me!" Jenni cried out.
"There's no one to help you now little girl," Morga cackled.
Jenni watched in horror as Morga revealed her true self which turned out to be nothing more then a withered zombie with an elongated jaw, greasy hair, and long claw like nails.
"Soon you and your kind will cease to exist," Morga said, "once Queen Salem unleashes the negaforce she'll destroy you all!"
"You let her go!" shouted a new voice.
Morga turned her head completely around and rested her red hues on the doorway, "what's that?"
Ruby pointed at the monster, "I said let her go!"
The zombified creature just scoffed, "and who are you supposed to be?"
Ruby was taken aback by that but she took a deep breath and continued, "I'm Sailor Moon the champion of justice! On behalf of the moon I will right wrongs and triumph over evil. And that means you."
"Sailor Moon huh? Never heard of you and I'm sure I never will again." Morga said. Snapping her fingers she added, "arise my servants and serve the great dark power that is the negaforce!"
Every young woman that Morga had drained the life energy from stood up in unison, their eyes blank and pure white. As a unit they all moved to attack Sailor Moon.
She tried her best to fight back but it was clear she was severely outnumbered. Finally she was knocked down and Morga took this chance to slash at the heroine with her claws leaving a good size cut on her knee.
Sailor Moon looked down and gasped in pain, "Ow that really hurt. I don't know if I can do this."
Zwei, who had been watching the action, suddenly appeared, "Sailor Moon what are you doing? You must fight this evil monster before she takes anyone else's energy."
"This ends now!" Morga yelled extending her claws once more, however just before she could even touch Sailor Moon something sharp sliced across her hand. This thing revealed itself to be a red rose.
The monster turned toward the person who had thrown the object at her, "Now who might you be?"
Up above, on the windowsill of the second floor of the building, stood a young dark skin man with brown hair. He was wearing a black tuxedo, a top hat, and a red cape. On his face he wore a white mask.
"I am Tuxedo Mask," the stranger announced, "Sailor Moon you must find the warrior within you. It is your destiny to fight these monsters."
"But I don't want to be a warrior," Sailor Moon said suddenly bursting into tears.
Almost as if by magic her loud cries were amplified causing the brainwashed women and Morga herself to drop to their knees as the loud sound waves washed over them.
Zwei noticed what was going on and gave the heroine a small nudge, "Quick throw your tiara and say 'Moon tiara magic!'"
"What good is that gonna do Zwei?" she sniffed.
"Just do it!"
Sailor Moon nodded and grabbed the golden tiara off her head where it promptly turned into a discus.
"Moon tiara magic!" she shouted throwing it at Morga.
As soon as the discus touched the monster it immediately turned her to dust.
In the Dark Kingdom Mercury suddenly felt the energy he had collected disappear as his monster was destroyed.
"What? Where did the energy go?! Someone will pay dearly for this."
Sailor Moon watched as the pile of dust that was once her foe vanished into thin air.
"You have done well Sailor Moon," Tuxedo Mask told her, "and now Jenni's mother and all the other women are free. You should know though that this is only the first monster of many, but don't be afraid, I will fight with you."
With that he pulled his cape around himself and disappeared.
Zwei noticed that the heroine wasn't moving so he quickly ran over to check on her, "are you alright Sailor Moon?"
Sailor Moon felt a blush creep up her face, "What a hunky guy."
The next morning Ruby was back in school and Jenni was telling her all about the prior day's events.
"Ruby you're not going to believe this, but my mom and I had the strangest dream last night that we were attacked by this hideous monster. But then this beautiful warrior named Sailor Moon saved us."
"What are you kidding I had the same dream!" Another classmate said.
"So did I!" said a third.
"OK that's just plain weird," Jenni said, "isn't that weird Ruby?"
Ruby barely lifted her head from the desk, "hey can you guys keep it down? I was up late last night and just need a little more sleep."
And with that she faceplanted on her desk and promptly fell asleep.
