Sailor Moon Millenium #8 - A Great Search Begins - Created July 16th, 1999 By: K.W. Isenor (sailor_moon_56@hotmail.com) Note: For the school in my eposides I'm running it like the schools in Canada. The school year ends in June and begins in September. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Lord Sith you did well at collecting energy the other day. But now I have a different task for you." The queen said as she took a sip of her blood red wine. "What would the task be?" Lord Sith asked as he sat down beside the queen. "The task won't be an easy one but I know that you will be able to pull it off with time." The queen sat up straight in her throne. Lord Sith leaded closer to the queen, becoming interested in what the task would be. "I need you to find a powerful jewel. It isn't just any jewel it is the Golden Illusion Jewel. It is from the time of my past. And I need it to help destr . . . ah take over earth and turn all the human's into slaves of the Dark Star Galaxy." The queen said with an evil laugh. Lord Sith thought about it for a bit. "Ah yes I remember being taught about your past and the Golden Illusion Jewel was mentioned." Lord Sith paused. "Where do I begin looking?" He asked as he turned to look at the queen. "I'm thinking that it was sent to earth and may be inside a human. Your targets will have to be strong humans. Humans that send out a large amount of energy. So go forth and find your first target, they will likely be in the Crossroad District. So go and find me the Golden Illusion Jewel." The queen dismissed Lord Sith with a wave of her hand. "Yes my queen right away." Lord Sith bowed then disappeared into the darkness. The queen smiled a corrupt smile as she drank the last of her wine. * * * * * Jessica sat down in her desk beside Serena. She had black circles under her eyes. "I hate final exams!" Jessica put her hand to her mouth to cover her yawn. "I stayed up late last night to study! I also hate science!" Jessica yawned again. Her eyes also began to water. "What about you Serena did you study?" Jessica turned to look at Serena who was also yawning. "Ah, I stayed up late too." Serena paused and looked away. "But how much of that time did you spend studying?" Serena and Jessica both turned to look at Molly. Serena put her hand behind her head and laughed her fake laugh. "I . . . ah . . . studied some . . ." "You were likely reading comic books weren't you?" Jessica glared at Serena. A guilty look came across Serena's face. "Student's please put away your books and make sure that you have a blue or black pen and some paper. The final science exam will start now. Good luck to all of you!" The teacher handed out the test sheets. Serena sighed with relief. She would be safe from Jessica and Molly for two hours while she wrote her exam. * * * * * "Well at least the science exam is over! I think that I did well." Jessica turned to look at Serena. "How do you think that you did?" "Ah, I think that I did okay." Serena said as she quickly went back to stuffing her face with her lunch that Lita had made her. "What about you Amy? How do you think you did?" Serena managed to say between mouthfuls of her delicious food. Amy opened her mouth to reply but Lita beat her to it. "Serena why would you even bother asking a question like that? We all know how Amy did. She got the top marks in the class again! She always does!" "Not last year, Greg did beat me." Amy said as she remembered his sweet rounded face and his short brown hair. And his deep brown eyes. She began to daydream about him when something hit her in the side of the face. Amy snapped out of her daydream and rubbed the side of her face and turned to look at Jessica. Jessica had a guilty look on her face. Serena, Lita and Molly were all laughing like hyenas. "Ah . . . sorry . . . I . . ." Jessica paused and looked down at her lunch. "I just don't know how you can eat all your food with chopsticks!" Jessica said as she mixed her rice and her sushi around on her plate. Amy began to laugh with the other's as she rubbed the sauce off her face. "You will learn over time Jessica." Serena said between burst's of laughter. The five girls all stopped their historical laughter when the bell rung throughout the school yard, telling them that lunch was over and it was time to write another exam. They all got sad looks on their faces as they walked towards the main doors to the school with all the other unhappy students. * * * * * "Let's see who should I target first? And how will I find people that have a large amount of energy. Where will I look?" Lord Sith put his hand to his chin in thought. "I have it!" He snapped his finger's loudly. "I will use the power of the Dark Star Medallion." Lord Sith put his hand above his head. There was a flash of purple and green light around his hand. When the light died down there in his hand was a golden chain, on the end of the chain was a black gem that had small red dot's spread throughout it. "With this I will be able to target humans that give off a large amount of energy." He said with an evil snicker. "Now to make this work." Lord Sith held the Medallion above his head. "I call upon the powers of the Dark Star! Help me target a strong powerful human that gives offa large amount of energy!" The Medallion began to glow a red color. The whole room began to shake as the Medallion shone a picture of the target. "So this is the girl that has a large amount of energy. And she looks so weak. I'll have to attack her where there aren't many people and when it is after closing hours of her little store." He rubbed his hands together. "Yes that is what I will do, my plan will not fail!" * * * * * The silence of the school was broken as the bell rang through the empty halls of Crossroads Junior High. Student's stood up and handed in their exams then got their school bags in the front of the class. Jessica rushed to her locker. She didn't want to get stuck waiting for ten minutes. She had to meet Serena and the other's at the Tokyo Café after she ran home and changed out of her school uniform. Jessica made a mad dive for her locker. She wasn't really paying attention and ended running right into someone. When she gained her senses and stood up she was surprized to see that the person that she had run into was Brent. Jessica could feel her face go read with embarrassment. "I'm really sorry, I was just trying to get to my locker and wasn't really paying atten . . ." Brent put his finger to Jessica's lips. "Shh, it is alright you don't have to apologize. It was a mistake. Don't worry about it." Brent leaded up against the locker beside Jessica's. Jessica quickly opened her locker and got the books that she needed to study for the next days exams. "May I walk you home?" Brent asked as Jessica shut her locker door and smiled at Brent. "I would be glad if you would walk me home." Brent smiled back at Jessica. "Lead the way. I'm not really sure where you live." Jessica nodded her head and led the way out of the school. * * * * * Jessica walked in thrpugh the front gate of her home. Brent had just commented on Jessica's large house. Jessica had a big smile on her face as she walked slowly up her driveway. She glanced down at her watch. Her eyes went wide. "I can't believe it! It is almost three thirty! And I'm supposed to met Serena and the other's at the café to study at three thirty!" Jessica ran up her driveway. When she stepped in the house she was greeted by Eclipse. In the dogs big mouth was the tank top and the shorts that Jessica was planning to where. "You are the best Eclipse!" Jessica hugged the big dog's neck and grabbed the cloths out of his mouth. "I don't know what I would do without you!" Jessica ran up the stairs towards the bathroom. "Whithout me you would most likely get lost in your own home." The big dog mumbled under his breath. On his lips was a small smile. * * * * * Jessica opened the café door. A little bell went off as the door swung open more. Jessica spotted Serena and the other's all sitting at a large table in the far corner. Jessica walked over to greet them. "Sorry I'm late, Brent walked me home and I totally lost track of all time!" Jessica said as she slid onto the bench seat beside Lita. She set her books down on the floor at her feet. "Brent Scott! He is so gorgeous! You are so lucky." Mina said as she took a sip of her mocha. Serena began to laugh as she pointed at Mina. Everyone looked at Mina and began to laugh. Mina was looking at them all with confused eyes. "What?!" Serena managed to point at Mina's upper lip. Mina turned to look in the window, and she saw her reflection. She had the topping from her mocha on her lip. She wiped it off, her face went beet red with embarrassment. When the laughter died down and everyone had caught their breath Lita spoke up. "Brent kind of looks like my old boyfriend Matt." Serena and the other's began to laugh again at Lita's comment. Amy was the first to stop laughing, she cleared her throat. Everyone stopped their laughing and turned to look at her. "Don't you think that it is about time that we started to study? We do have our last two exams tomorrow." Amy picked her books up off her lap and set them on the table. Jessica Serena and the other's all groaned. "Well we don't have to study for english, all we are doing is writing a essay and a short story. There is no way that you can study that." Serena said as she slowly pulled her books out of her school bag at her feet. "You are right Serena but it would be good if you thought about what you are going to write about so you can get out early. But aside from that we should really study history." Everyone groaned again, except Jessica and Amy. "Come on it isn't that bad, beside it is easy stuff at least we didn't have to learn about the war! We got off easy and got to learn ancient history about the pyramids!" Jessica said as she pulled out her notebook. Serena and Lita rolled their eyes. * * * * * Lord Sith was standing on the roof of a near by building as he peered in through the window. Not many people walked the street and there weren't many people sitting in the café. "The time is nearing, almost time, there are only a few people left in the café, and once they leave I will make my attack!" Lord Sith gazed through the window of the small café that sat on the corner of a quiet road. He smiled an evil grin and laughed a hysterical laugh. He disappeared in a great green flame. * * * * * Mina looked at her watch. "Hey guys it is almost seven o'clock, I need to get home." She turned to look at Lita. "You going to take the bus?" Lita nodded, they collected their things and left. "Yeah I have to go home too and help Grandpa clean up for tomorrow." Raye stood up and left. Serena let out a big yawn. "Yeah, *yawn* I should be heading home, I'm going to go to bed early tonight." Serena let out another big yawn. "Amy are you going to go on the "A11"?" Serena asked as she slid off the bench and put her books in her school bag. Amy nodded. Serena turned to look at Jessica. "What about you?" Jessica stood up and stretched her arms. "Yeah I think I'll be going on the bus with you guys, but I'll see you out there, I have to make a quick run to the washroom before we leave." Amy and Serena both walked out of the café and stood by the lamppost to wait for Jessica and their bus. Jessica was washing her hands when she heard a loud bang in the kitchen; the bang was followed by a scream. "I don't like the sound of that." Jessica dried off her hands and pulled her transformation stick out of her pocket. She held it above her head. "SUN STAR . . . . . POWER!" Jessica then closed her eyes then her transformation wand disappeared into many little orange and gold sparkles and caused her body to shimmer in the colors of the sparkles as they fell onto her body. Then her silver tiara appeared with the red jewel in the center. The jewel them emited a blinding flash of orange light that surrounded Jessica giving her the feel of the bright morning sun on her body. Then a swirl of orange and gold sparkles that wraps around her body moving upward as it spun around her body. The body suit of her uniform then appeared. And the bow came out of the heart in the center of her chest. Sparkling golden rings went around her feet forming boots. Then more sparkling rings went around her arms forming her gloves. Soon afterward the golden sparkles went around her waist forming her skirt. At that point there was a large burst of golden sparkles that flew up into the air, when the sparkles fell to the ground Sailor Sun was reveled fully transformed. She did her transformation pose. She stood with one hand across her forehead and the other across her stomach with her legs together. Her long red hair blew to the side. She ran out of the washroom in a hurry. She peered though the kitchen window. Cindy the manager and waitress of the café was cowering in the corner. And Lord Sith was hovering over her. "Hand me the Golden Illusion Jewel!" Lord Sith held out his hand and a light purple aura surrounded the brown hared woman. Cindy was lifted up off the floor by Lord Sith's power's. "I . . . told . . . told . . . you . . . that I . . . don't know . . . what you . . . are talking about." Cindy could feel her energy slowly leave her body. 'What is the Golden Illusion Jewel?' Sailor Sun thought to herself. "Any way it is time to kick some bad guy butt!" Sailor Sun took the fire extinguisher off the wall beside her and broke the seal. She sprayed the white foam all around her. She kicked open the door. Startled Lord Sith turned to look at the open door. There was a figure in the foam. The figure stepped forward. "I am Sailor Sun, and in the name of the sun I will smite you!" Sailor Sun got in her fighting stance. "Oh it is you again, little Sailor Sun. I thought that you and your friends would show up so a prepared a surprise." He held his hand out and a dark portal formed above Sailor Sun's head. From the portal came five large clay monsters. "Oh great just what I needed!" Sailor Sun said sarcastically as she dodged their attacks. One of the clay monster's swung out it's arm and hit Sailor Sun in the stomach, Sailor Sun flew across the kitchen and hit the rack that all the pots and pans where hanging. She hit the floor hard. And the pots and pans came tumbling down on top of her. She was knocked unconscious. Lord Sith went back to what he was doing with Cindy. On his face he wore an evil smile. He reached his right hand to the sky and the room filled with green and purple light and the Dark Star Medallion appeared in his hand. "Now to get the Golden Illusion Jewel from you!" Lord Sith held the Medallion at Cindy's chest. Her chest began to glow purple. "Stop! I am Sailor Moon champion of justice I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And that means you!" "And I am Sailor Mercury the scout of water, I will not let you hurt innocent people!" Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury stepped through the large kitchen doors and got into their fighting stance. Lord Sith just rolled his eyes and laughed. "Clay monster's attack!" He commanded the five monsters. The monster's redirected their attention from Sailor Sun to Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury. "SHINE AQUA . . . . . ILLUSION!" Sailor Mercury skillfully directed her attack at one of the clay monsters. It hit one of them in the side. The clay began to fall apart. Sailor Moon turned to look at Sailor Mercury and gave her the thumbs up sign. "Now it is your turn Sailor Moon." Sailor Mercury said as she turned to look at the advancing four clay monster's. Sailor Moon nodded her head and reached her hand up above her head. "MOON SECPTAR . . . . . BANISH!" Sailor Moon directed her attack at the clay monster that was beginning to fall apart on the floor. The blast of blue and pink light hit the clay monster. It disappeared in a loud groan. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury were too delighted with their success that they didn't notice the advancing four-clay monsters. "Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury watch out!" Tuxedo Mask jumped down and picked Sailor Moon up in his arms. Sailor Mercury skillfully did a back flip out of the reach of the clay monsters. Tuxedo Mask wasn't fast enough and was grabbed by the foot. Sailor Moon was flung from his grasp. Tuxedo Mask hit the ground hard he let out a groan as he hit the cold hard floor. "SHINE AQUA . . . . . ILLUSION" Sailor Mercury aimed her attack at two of the other clay monsters. They began to fall apart and fell to the ground helpless. "That takes care of them Sailor Mercury said she looked around the room for Sailor Moon. She saw Sailor Moon lying on the floor beside the fridge, she wasn't moving. While Sailor Mercury was looking for Sailor Moon she wasn't paying attention to the two clay monsters that were coming closer to her. When she realized that they were coming it was too late, she was knocked unconscious. "That takes care of those pitiful sailor scouts!" Lord Sith turned to look at Cindy. The poor woman didn't know what was going on. Her skin was very pale and her eyes looked old. "Soon, soon I will have the Golden Illusion Jewel." Lord Sith said greedily. Meanwhile Sailor Sun was struggling to get up. She was cut badly on her right arm, she also had many scraps and bruises all over her legs and her arms. "SUN SOLAR FLARES . . . . . BURN!" Sailor Sun stood with her legs shoulder width apart. Her hands were at her sides. Her head was looking upward. Then she put her hands out in front of her chest, her hands then begun to glow with golden energy she then pushed her arms out as if she is pushing against something heavy. From each of her hands came two flames of fire. They spun around her body in a clockwise direction then went directly in front of her straight towards the two remaining clay monsters. Lord Sith turned startled. "But . . . you . . . you were dead! You hit the wall to hard to still be alive!" Lord Sith said in a horse voice. "I'm sorry to disappoint you but you can not get ride of me and the other sailor scouts that easy! I hope you have a fire extinguisher close by because my firery attacks are going to make you burn! I Sailor Sun will destroy you!" Sailor Sun stood in her fighting stance. While Sailor Sun was giving her speech she did not notice that the two clay monster's that Sailor Mercury had hit with her water attack were putting them selves together. "Sailor Sun turn around!" Instead of turning to face the advancing clay monsters she looked in the direction of the Daystar Knight's voice. "DAYSTAR LASER LIGHT . . . . . STING!" He shouted out the phrase he did a full turn around. When his back was facing the tow-clay monsters he held his hands out in front of his stomach with his palm's facing upward. He then put his arms together and his hands begun to glow with blue light. The light blasted from his hands. The light shot at the clay monsters with a lot of force. The attack hit the two-clay monsters just before they had reached Sailor Sun. She turned and smiled at the Daystar Knight. "Yes! Soon the Golden Illusion Jewel will be mine!" He held the Medallion closer to Cindy's chest. She began to scream in pain. Her chest was also glowing a darker purple. There was a bright flash of purple light that surround Cindy. Then a beam of purple light came from her chest. Lord Sith's eyes widened. "Yes . . . yes!" Then the light died down and Cindy lay on the ground not moving. "NO! She isn't the carrier of the Golden Illusion Jewel!" Lord Sith fell to his knees with disappointment. "Too bad for you Lord Sith! Now I is time that I burn you!" Sailor Sun got in her fighting stance. "Sorry to disappoint you Sailor Sun but I have to be somewhere else right now!" With those words he disappeared in a green flame. Sailor Sun went over to Cindy. The woman sat up confused. "What . . . what happened?" She asked as she looked around the kitchen, which was a mess. "Everything will be okay I suggest that you stay off your feet for a couple of days." Sailor Sun helped Cindy to her feet. Cindy walked over to Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury. Sailor Sun looked around franticly for the Daystar Knight who was no where to be found. She let out a disappointed sigh. "Sailor Sun, you did well yet again! Congratulations on your victory. Remember that I will always be there for you." He pulled a small golden star shaped flower from behind his back. He gently tossed it down to Sailor Sun. She caught the flower in the palm of her hand and brought it close to her nose so she could smell the sweet fragrance that it gave off. * * * * * "What is the Golden Illusion Jewel?" Jessica turned to Luna and Eclipse for answers. "What is it?" She said in a whiney tone. "I'm not sure Jessica, I have never heard of it before. But I do know something, we can not let Lord Sith get a hold of it!" Luna said as she jumped up onto the picnic table. "Yes we can't let Lord Sith get it. We will not know what will happen if it gets into the wrong hands." Eclipse said as he shock his big head with worry in his eyes and voice.
