The Forgotten Princess
Chapter Two: Earth has a
Sailor Scout?
"Aaaahh!" Sailor Moon shrieked as the monster's huge
sword swung by her, nearly slicing her legs in half. While Sailor Moon kept the
ugly monster distracted, Sailor Mars hollered out "Flame Sniper" and
shot an arrow of fire with deadly accuracy at its large eyes. Her attack hit
the monster dead on and also barely avoiding scorching
Sailor Moon's long pigtails.
"Mars!! Do you think you could watch
where you're shooting that stupid attack of yours? You
nearly burned my hair, you pyromaniac!" Sailor Moon steadied herself as
she pulled up from the asphalt. The raven-haired fire scout just shook her head
in annoyance at her leader. She knew they didn't have
time to start another argument when the monster was ready to attack at any
moment.
It looked any ordinary monster with its grayish spiky skin, pus
yellow snaky hairs, and four arms. Its weapon of choice was a large black sword
that was about twice the length of its body.
Unfortunately, Sailor Moon was still ranting on Mars and she didn't even see the monster heading towards her, swinging its
weapon in front of it. The blonde leader turned around just in time to see the
blade heading straight for her body and couldn't do
anything, but scream in anguish. Out of nowhere, a purple blur landed between
Sailor Moon and certain death. The sailor scouts gasped at what they saw in
front of them.
Standing in front of the princess, was a sailor scout that was
keeping the sword away from her with a large silver staff wrapped in dark green
vines. The wind started to blow around and lifted the scout's purple skirt and
collar and dark green bows into the air. She turned slightly and glared at
Sailor Moon who surprisingly didn't just stand there,
but ran out of the way. A second later, the unknown scout used her staff to
throw the monster backwards.
The monster roared with fury and headed straight for the scout.
She smirked before throwing her staff into the air. She was
suddenly surrounded by a purple light that signaled the beginning of an attack,
her thigh-length ebony French braid swinging in the sudden breeze. The
large purple stone that rested on top of the staff began to glow brightly. The
girl started to spin around gracefully and when she stopped, pointed the end of
the staff at the ground. Suddenly, the girl yelled out, "Vines
Envelope" and waited patiently.
Before the monster even knew what was happening, thick dark green
vines shot up from the ground and surrounded it. The scouts simply stared in
horror at the vines that were probably thicker than a human body and could
crush bones easily. The vines tightened around the monster's body while it
screamed with pain-filled agony. You could hear the distant crunching as those
powerful vines started to break the monster's bones. The scouts looked on in
disgust as the scout calmly watched the monster struggling to free itself from its
green prison.
Without even a pause, the girl again held up her staff and the
stone began to glow like the last time. This time she hollered out the words
"Energy Drain". Then something strange began to happen, the green
vines seemed to glow the same purple color as the stone. Suddenly, without
warning, the monster roared in pain as its body was drained
of its energy. Then the girl gestured at the vines with her left hand and they
quickly disappeared into the ground again.
The scouts looked on at the now completely drained monster in
front of them. The monster, surprisingly, was still alive, but barely. Its
beady eyes were now completely lifeless looking while its
limbs hung limply on the asphalt. Sailor Mercury winced as she heard it still
shrieking in pain.
Suddenly, the monster started to reach for its humongous sword
that was lying on the ground in front of it. With what must have been a last
bit of energy, the ugly drained monster hurled the weapon towards the
unsuspecting group of sailor scouts. Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter screamed
in terror at the sight of the sharp steel blade coming towards them. Right
before the weapon tore into Sailor Athena's uniform it stopped in midair.
The surprised scouts looked around and their gaze landed on the
new scout. She was standing near the group with her gloved arms outstretched.
Her eyes were glowing a strange purple color while
stray pieces of black hair blew around her beautiful face. Then in the blink of
an eye, the sword was launched backwards and landed right in
the middle of the monster's body. The monster's eyes bugged out in pain
and struggled to get out from under the weapon that was meant
for the sailors.
The purple clad scout, after watching the monster's pain for about
two minutes, turned sharply to Sailor Moon, "Well, are you going to
destroy that thing or not?" Sailor Moon looked up flustered at the
girl's intense emerald stare. The usually bubbly blonde
merely nodded an answer before using her scepter to destroy the last remains of
the monster.
The girl bowed her head to Sailor Moon respectfully and started to
walk away before Zoicite yelled out, "What a
minute! Who are you?"
The girl smiled in an amused way, "Why do you want to
know?" The group looked taken back at the girl's calm answers. She seemed
so confident in herself and they could tell she knew what she was doing.
"Well, you helped us an awful lot and we just wanted to know
your name?" Sailor Moon answered meekly, bracing herself for another
intense glare from the scout.
To her surprise the girl strolled over to her and bowed before her
feet, "Since you asked, I am your divine protector, your highness."
The sailor scouts stared in surprise at the bowed girl as she stood up and
continued, "My name is Sailor Earth. And I am the
soldier of the Planet of Life and Disaster. I have sworn under an oath of
loyalty that I dedicate my life to protecting you, Princess Serenity."
Sailor Moon stammered an answer to the girl, "Well, um....it's nice to meet you in this life, Sailor Earth. Uh....I'm sorry to tell you this, but...um...I don't remember
you from the Silver Millennium. But, I'm sure it's just a mix-up."
Sailor Athena had been staring hard at Sailor Earth's face for the
whole conversation and right before the girl left she hollered, "Wait a
minute, Sailor Earth!" The scout swiveled around to look into Athena's
pale gray eyes.
Athena paused and then continued, "I was wondering something.
Now, I understand how Serenity doesn't remember you
for she didn't remember me either. But, if anybody
should remember you, it'd be me because I am the scout of memory. But, my memories have nothing with you in them. Can you
explain this?" Zoicite and Lord Minerva were
appalled at both what Athena had said and the manner in which
she said it.
Sailor Earth didn't seemed at all
insulted by Athena's remark, "I can explain that little problem, Athena.
Queen Serenity and Sailor Pluto arranged it so that no one from the Silver
Millennium would remember me."
"Why would her majesty and Pluto do something like that? If
you are Princess Serenity's sworn protector, then why
would they make us forget about you? You would be very important to Sailor
Moon, wouldn't you?" Athena tried to appear confident, but something in
that girl's eyes just made her feel uneasy.
Sailor Earth didn't answer right away,
because she was staring off into the distance, deep in thought. She then turned
back and faced the group of Silver Millennium reincarnates. Sailor Mars could
have sworn that when Sailor Earth looked at Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, her green
eyes suddenly became darker. Mars sensed that something horrible was eating
away at this girl's soul.
"There is a very important reason for what Queen Serenity and
Pluto did. But, this is neither the time nor place to
talk about it, “Sailor Earth started down the street and before anyone could
say anything she replied,”You will know eventually. When the time is right." With that, the mysterious new
scout was gone.
"Wow. That was certainly unexpected." Zoicite commented. The others nodded their agreement as
well. They de-transformed and split to go home. Before they left, Luna proposed
a meeting at the temple in the next couple of days. They agree to discuss this
new enemy and this new supposed ally.

The scouts, guardians, and knight protectors all gather at the

filler chapter, but it's important too.
