Previous Chapter

It was another boring old Saturday in Tokyo.

Well, at least it's warm..... Tenshi thought. A small breeze lifted up the blue curtains in her living room. But that doesn't change the fact that it's boring...... With a sigh she flopped down on the couch and turned on the TV. She flipped through the channels. ~Sailormoon!~ The voices on the TV sang out. Tenshi gripped the remote stood up and shouted in frustration," THE ONLY THINGS ON ARE KIDS' SHOWS!!!!!" She threw the remote to the floor, where it slammed against the leg of the table. The battery cover popped out and the batteries rolled around the floor.

"Well, this would be a good time for you to, oh.... I don't know.... Finish your schoolwork??" Estelle came into the room yawning. Tenshi had been putting the remote together when she had said that. A battery flew at Estelle who dodged it with a yowl. "The way you treat me makes me think I'd be better out on the street...." Estelle picked up the battery in her teeth and gave it to Tenshi. Tenshi yawned and stretched. She went to the front hall and changed from her slippers to her blue sneakers. She grabbed her purse and slammed the door in Estelle's tired face.

After a few hours of unsuccessful shopping Tenshi was passing through the park, she sat down on an old green bench. The bench was hot from the sun, but it didn't seem to bother her.

"I want to be Sailor Constellation! You be the monster!" A small girl shouted.

"No! I'm always the monster!" A second girl shouted.

"Yeah well, I have purple hair!"

Tenshi looked to the voices. It was true the girl did have purple hair. A bit darker than hers and had more blue tones, but she did have purple hair. Tenshi smiled, then looked up to the sky, she shut her eyes. The inside of her eyelids looked reddish-orange.

The color melded into may colors, then a blurred scene, finally she saw a battle area. It was dark and cold there. Fallen pillars were crumbling and large pieces of buildings were crashing down on trapped people. Sometimes they covered more than the person so all she saw, when they fell was blood, around the outside of the piece of the building. Other times maybe there was an arm that had been smashed off or a leg that had been ground off so bad that it slipped a few feet away. In one case, she even saw a person's head, the lower part of the neck had been crushed, the aorta was cut and bright red blood sprayed from it.

"Don't look at it. You'll lose the fight in you." A soft familiar voice warned.

Tenshi turned her head, standing by her was Sailor Earth. Silence surrounded them, no screams, no blasts. Sailor Earth looked up, Tenshi was about to follow her stare when she was pushed down under a fallen pillar. The silence stopped as something hit the point she was just standing at. Tenshi was pushed across the ground pain stung her and she didn't know why.

"Holy Shit! Your legs are all bloody!" Tenshi sat up, she was right, she had large gashes in her legs where bright red blood flowed out. A figure appeared not to far from them, it smiled evilly. The figure held up its hand and a ball of energy began to collect. "Mother fuck-" Sailor Earth was cut off.

Tenshi saw Earth's face turn toward her. Her eyes opened and she looked around. No battle scene, no dead people, no Sailor Earth, no evil. It was just a park on a warm day. That vision disturbed her. Tenshi shuddered as a chill went down her spine.

"Hey, you all right?" A warm hand rested on her shoulder.

"Yeah, you look terrified!"

Tenshi looked from speaker to speaker, "Niomi? Tama?"

"Yeah who else?" Niomi munched on something.

"So are you OK? We've been calling you on your communicator for so long and you didn't answer."

"We used a locator Tama made to find you."

Tenshi shook her head getting back to reality, "Yeah, I'm fine. What's going on?"

"Well....."

At Nari's house the three and Nari were sitting in the living room Nari slid a paper across the table.

Tenshi picked it up," WHAT!??????"

"Yeah, we all pretty much had the same reaction." Nari told her.

"I-I-how could they?"

Tama cleared her throat,"I think the enemy is more advanced than we are. Unless it's not the enemy and it's the other Celestials?"

Niomi held her head," This is sooooo complicated."

"I don't think it's the others." Astro had hopped up on the table and read the paper.

"No?" Tama looked interested.

"How do you know?" Nari asked.

Miika jumped up on the table and began reading too," It says right here."

Nari picked it up again. "Four free passes to see a special airing of the Celestial movie. Pets allowed." He shrugged.

"Read the other side." Estelle suggested.

He gave her a questioning look and turned it over. In bold letter is it read," The Celestial Movie!" and then continued on in smaller letters," The Celestial Movie is about the new super heroes in town! It will reveal their supposedly secret identities! It will go through the day in the life of a Celestial Scout! Including the mysterious and strange older Celestials! Starring in order....."

"Yeah, they wouldn't do that would they?" Niomi asked.

"Of course not!" Tama shouted.

"Jeez...." Niomi righting herself, Tama rarely yelled like that.

Well, this is interesting...... Rowen thought and moved from the wall he was leaning on. Tenshi, Nari, Niomi and Tama were standing in front of the Multiplex theater at midnight. They had already transformed, just in case.

"This is it?" Tenshi asked, keeping her voice down.

"That's what it says." Nari held up the card.

A strange voice beckoned them, "Hello, let's see your pass."

Nari handed a tall woman the card. "Go right in." She waved her arm for them to enter. They did. The whole theater lit up when they entered.

"Hey this is like that 'Monica' video, y'know on the soundtrack to 'Space Jam'?" Niomi said," Y'know how the theater lights up and stuff......? Heh....."

They walked into the movie theater. The previews began. All of them were for movies no one ever heard of. Then finally the movie started. In the very back, stood some people, watching the screen, waiting for something to happen.

It's amazing.... It really is us.... Tenshi thought.

Hey! I remember that! Where'd they get all this footage? Niomi thought staring at the screen.

A few hours later the movie ended. Before anyone could get up, they were locked to their seats.

"And now for the finale! This is how my movie goes!" A woman who looked like a director stood on a seat in the front. She held up a camera."Ready! ACTION!" Her camera turned on and projected a monster. "This is gonna be easy, fun, but easy!" The monster said in a throaty voice.

"Um, uh oh...." Tenshi said. They struggled in their seats.

"You think we should help 'em?"

"Oh, I guess......."

A shock of sound waves hit the monster, it was like an echoing thunderclap. The Celestials twisted in their seats to see who it was.

"Can you see?" Tama asked.

"No.. it's too dark." Nari answered.

"EARTH STAR MAGIC!" The familiar voice of Sailor Earth screamed out.

The energy, obviously emitted from the sword, slashed the monster's side. Some film rolled out where blood would've been.

"Yeah, kick some ass!" Earth shouted, and she emerged from the darkness, next to her was the boy with the green-brown armor.

The monster held out a hand, "Slash my side will you?!" Rolls of film went flying at Sailor Earth. The boy was gone. The film wrapped around Sailor Earth's stomach and neck. It became tighter and tighter cutting off her breathing. The film monster laughed, and the younger Celestials still struggled in their seats.

"Hey you fuck! You're ass is going down!" Someone shouted, in less than three seconds the feeling of new weight hit the monster in the face. There was darkness and then it opened it's eyes again.

Sailor Earth fell to her knees, "Thank you....."

"Always wait till the last minute, it looks cooler...."

"Sure it does...." Sailor Earth gasped still trying to remember how to breathe. She motioned her hand to the monster, "Do the honors my truly demented friend?"

"Why thank you." He bowed.

Before the monster knew it, it was down on the ground shaking from the sound shockwave.

"Lightning strikes, but thunder kills..."

"That make absolutely no sense....."

"I know! But it sounded good."

"Actually it, did..... amazing...." Sailor Earth stood up.

The monster followed, "It's slashin' time, man!"

"Whoo-hoo!" And he continued to mumble the lyrics to that song.

Sailor Earth frowned staring seriously at her new enemy. She ran sword drawn, her hair swirling around her face. Sailor Earth jumped. The slightly dazed monster looked up, just as the sword came down splitting it in half. It didn't even have a chance to scream. Sailor Earth landed on her feet.

"Uh what do we do about them?"

Sailor Earth turned, "Eh, leave em... They'll be found eventually..... If not oh well......."

The next morning the cleaning crew walked in only to be surprised by what was sitting in the seats. There they sat, the Celestials, covered in popcorn, coke, mustard, ketchup, relish, candy, and just about anything that could be found in a snack stand at the theater. Not to mention a few ticket stubs.
