Part 1 of 10

................

Usagi Tsukino trembled in fear as the Youma got closer and closer to her. ôNoooo! I should never have listened to that stupid cat!ö

ôIÆm still here, Usagi,ö the cat growled, ôand it is not my fault we are in this situation!ö

ôWho's the one who gave me senshi powers and told me to fight evil!ö

ôIt is not like I forced you to take the role,ö the cat defended.

ôWell, after that big story of the Moon Kingdom and all, how could I not?!ö

ôàIÆm surprised you even believed the story, most kids your age would ûwait! What am I saying! Usagi watch out!ö The cat yelled.

Usagi turned around to see the YoumaÆs fist collide with her face. She spun in the air once, twice, three times, then rolled on the ground. Where her body spun even more. Fortunately for Usagi a nearby trash can stopped her from rolling too far down the street. Any further and her body would have went straight into the streets for any passing cars to run over.

ôUsagi are you okay?!ö

ôLuna, do I look okay?ö the small girl groaned. ôAhh my ribs!ö

Luna looked down. ôThis is probably a bad time to tell you this but, um, I think you may have broken one or two of them.ö

Usagi blinked. ôSoooo I can scream now, right?ö

The cat nodded. Usagi screamed, and the Youma came out of the store to charge.

ôOh, my! Usagi get up and run!ö

ôAAHHHHH ûIÆm busy screaming here!ö Though she forced herself to stand up regardless. ôThose things pack a punch!ö

ôWell, they are demons,ö Luna admitted. It ran beside the girl, and looked back at their opponent. ôI would imagine they would be worse if they had more energy.ö

Usagi cried. ôWahh! I donÆt want to fight them when they have more energy! I canÆt even fight them now!ö

ôThat is your fault! If you had kept your cool and thought things through you would not be in this situation!ö

ôYou? Luna, youÆre acting like weÆre not both in a bad situation.ö

ôTo be fair, I have four legs, I may just run away.ö The cat admitted.

ôLuna you wouldnÆt!ö

ôWouldnÆt I, Usagi?ö The cat yelled, as the demon started to catch up, You are ignoring the demon charging in front of you to talk to me. What makes you think I can use a warrior who cannot keep her eyes on the battlefield!ö

ôYouma charging towards ûNooo! I completely forgot about that thing.ö Sadly Usagi acted too late to block the fist that hit her stomach. ôGuhhhh!ö

ôUsagi, No!ö Luna jumped on the demonÆs face and started clawing. ôUsagi, get up!ö

Which is what the girl as trying to do. Albeit in her own pace. Every part of her that could feel pain hurt, plus one of her pigtails had come loose.

She looked up at the Youma dizzily and caught a very unusual fight. ôWow...Luna...youÆre so strong.ö

She tried not to faint and shook herself awake. ôSnap out of it, Tsukino!ö

With shaky legs she got up to stare at the creature in front of her. ôThis isnÆt over! Luna needs youàeven if she was going to abandon you a second ago.ö

But how was she going to defeat the Youma? She had no idea how to use her powers and aside from super speed and strength she wasnÆt aware of anything in her arsenal that could help. Plus, and this was the important part, she needed a distraction. Something to keep the Youma busy while she attacked.

She was pretty sure sheÆd miss otherwise. ôIf only there was someone else to keep the thing occupiedàbut what!ö

Right now anything could work. Luna was slashing and clawing like her life depended on it, and it probably did, so after she was done all the distractions she could possibly call up were gone. So what? What could keep the thing busy long enough for her to attack?

Com on Universe! If you donÆt completely, utterly, totally, NOT hate me. Then send someone! I could really use the help!Æ

Nothing happened. ôThanks a lot GOD!ö

ôUsagi, what are you waiting for!ö Luna screeched. ôRun!ö

ôBut I canÆt leave you Luna!ö

ôI would have left you, dear girl!ö

ôBut you didnÆt!ö

ôThatÆs because the thing would have caught me anyway, I can assure you that it was not my fondness of you that has led me to this foolish brand of altruism.ö Despite the words coming out of her mouth, the blond girl knew different. ôRun!ö

æPlease Universe, anybody! I donÆt care! Batman, Superman, heck, Barney would do! I just need a bit of help, is that too much to ask?Æ

ôUsagi it is in front of you!ö

ôWhat? ûNoo!ö

And just when the thing's claw was about to go for her throat it happened. ôStop!ö

It was a command. So powerful that it made the beast freeze in its tracks. Usagi turned around to see who had called it, and looked up.

She couldnÆt get a good look at the person, but she did not have to.

He stepped out of the shadows and yelled, ôStop!"

Now there he stood. Usagi's jaw dropped as she got a good look at the purple mask, cape, and body armor.

"Zero of the Black Knights Commands you!ö

So, uh, other than horribly exaggerating a few traits of Usagi & Luna, you also use God & American comic book heroes, both of which I doubt should would actually use. Er, unless you were using 'God' as a catch-all term, but wouldn't 'Kami' fit better? Anyways, this is still in Japan right? Wouldn't she call out to more Shinto or Buddist spiritual aspects? People from Saint Seiya or Fruit Baskets & whatnot might work since she & Rei read manga, but as far as I know, she is not Christian or a comic lover.

Lastly, I really am not seeing how Lelouch would get involved, if nothing else than he being deep in a Japanese district & not sending someone like Kallen or Todoh instead. Really, randomly stumbling upon a small shop in the evening minutes after a fight starts? It doesn't sound like something he could do unless he planned it.

Is this a parody of the Sailor Moon universe? Because you even have Luna scamming Usagi.

I was considering putting Kami instead of God, but left it as that. I'll probably change that later. Superman and Batman are famous everywhere. A lot Japanese heroes come from Batman

Cough.Zetman.cough.

I'm writing the fic from Lelouch's POV in the next few scenes to describe how he got into this situation. It's pretty...I'll let you guys decide when I'm done.

Oddly enough this isn't an exaggeration. Rewatch episode one. I'm serious. Usagi was that useless.

I stand corrected. My apologies.


About Batman & Superman: I was presumptuous to say they wouldn't be known elsewhere. Heh, I thought they were mainly only American icons (as in they aren't really of note elsewhere). But I have to say, I am dubious about a pre-teen girl knowing about them. Then again, are any of Usagi's genre preferences known? All I know is that she leeches off of Rei....

Still if this is episode one, Usagi shouldn't have any idea about her super strength. She has absolutely no idea what her powers were which was why she was so terrified.

Also if this is first episode, Usagi should have no idea about the Moon Kingdom. It doesn't get mentioned until later on. She followed Luna because her best friend was getting attacked by some monsters.

The roots of modern manga lie in American comics. Japanese say different, say it came from wood blocks of something like that. It was a VERY annoying debate in my Japanese Modern Culture class.

Yeah, this isn't episode one, but close to it. There is a reason why Tuxedo Mask hasn't shown up yet, and I'll have to show that in the next three snips. She's transformed more than once after episode one so she is well aware of her super strength and speed.

Partly my fault since the snip is so small. I reveal nothing and only produce more questions.

Out of all the potential problems in that snippet, you jump on the fact that he mentioned God? And your advice is... to throw in random Japanese?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Really? It was more about the horribly inaccurate claim that Usagi would not know those 'more Western' items. I just thought she would more likely bring up more Eastern concepts. I really should have phrased it better.

I know what you mean though - sorry that it brought up bad memories.

I originally wanted to say "Help me power rangers!" but that joke has already been used in Just a Boy In Ninja Mask, so I didn't want to push it.

Batman and Superman were pretty popular in Japan during this time. Especially batman. I messed up with Barney, I should have mentioned one of the caste from Sesame street. They're a lot more well known. The thing about screaming Eastern superheroes is that you get the "crossover cameo" vibe coming through.

It really makes me cringe when I hear someone screaming "Save me Ghoku!"

Usagi expected the demon to do many things. Fling something at the person, flings something at her, maybe even at her cat. But to stop? Not in a million years. ôLuna, whyÆs it just standing there?ö

Luna glared. ôDoes it matter! It has stopped! Use your tiara!ö

ôOh, right!ö Usagi touched her forehead, activating the magic stored inside. ôMoon Tiara Magic!ö

She threw the disk in the air, causing it to land right inside the creature, lighting its figure. ôNo! How could I die from this idiot Moon child! Nooooo.ö The thingÆs scream send shivers down her spine, but at least she could focus on what was important.

Checking out that guy on the roof. She turned her face to that man, but something happened. Something she certainly did not expect.

ôDuck, Q1!ö The figure fell from the roof and tackled her to the floor, just as a hail of spikes flew past her. ôItÆs still alive.ö Alarmed the girl turned to the direction the man was pointing to and, sure enough, the thing was getting up.

ôWhat? That was supposed to destroy it! Luna how come it isnÆt working?ö

ôMaybe because we didnÆt weaken it enough.ö

ôWhat is this we you speak of? I do all the work!ö The girl turned her head to the figure that tackled her. ôAnd my name is Sailor Moon! Not Q1.ö

The figure draped in black looked back at her impassively. ôNames are irrelevant at this moment, my dear minion.ö Usagi looked at him blankly as he said that. ôRight now we have an enemy we must defeat.ö

ôBut how are we supposed to do that without the power of my tiara?ö

The man looked at her thoughtfully. Or at least she thought he did. Hard to tell with a mask like that. ôI have a plan, youÆre going to have to trust me on this.ö

ôAnd why should we trust you?ö the cat was the one who voiced this, this made the man startle, but he gained back his composure. But not before the cat could ask a second question. ôYou may be from the Dark Kingdom.ö

The man sighed. They could hear it from his mask. ôIÆm no friend to the Dark Kingdom. Someone who wants to rule my planet must be eliminated.ö

ôExcuse me, but er, did you just say your planet?ö

ôWhy of course, someone has to rule it.ö The man sounded positively casual about all this. ôNow with this Dark Kingdom running around, I have competition.ö

The blond and the cat looked at each other. ôSo, youÆre a bad guy?ö

ôNo, dear girl. IÆm perfectly good. IÆm a warrior of justice, a defender of the weak. Those without power come to me, and those who have it fear me.ö

ôSo youÆre some kind of religious leader?ö the cat asked.

Of a sort, yes.ö He stood up and dusted himself. He faced his head towards the demon that was limping towards them. ôHmm, but enough of that. We have a real problem on our hands. One that I shall take care of in a moment.ö

ôDoes this plan involve my pupil.ö

ôYouÆre the girlÆs teacher?ö

ôWell, who else is she going to learn from?ö The cat turned to Usagi. ôI donÆt trust this man. Beware!ö She ran into an alley, making the man turn back to the girl.

ôHmm, where is she going?ö Then he shook his head. ôNever mind, not important.ö He faced the demon. ôWhat is important is that you follow my directions.ö

ôWhy?ö

The man glared, or it felt like a glare to Usagi. Again. Hard to tell with a mask on. ôOh, right. You have a plan, I kinda donÆt. Sorry.ö

The masked man nodded, and swept his cape. ôNow, Q1, run behind the thing. IÆll take the front, while you take the back.ö

Usagi looked the man up and down. He was fairly skinny. ôYou know, my Sailor Moon outfit gives me powers. Does your suit do the same?ö

The man tilted his head. ôHow on earth does that ridiculous outfit give you powers? Where would you fit the hydraulics?ö

ôHy-what now?ö

ôNever mind. ô He shook his head. ôJust get behind the demon.ö

Usagi nodded, and backed away. Taking a deep breath she turned to the demon, got ready to bolt, and released all her pent up energy on her feet.

In an instant she sped down the street, and behind the creature. She stopped, skidded, and watched the man carefully. Unlike her he didnÆt move. He just stood there, tapping one of his feet on the ground.

ôWhat did you do to me earlier!ö The demon was angry. ôI demand an explanation!ö

The man tilted his head. ôWhy, nothing of the sort. What gives you the idea that I did anything other than ask you a simple favor?ö

ôLiar,ö the monster roared. ôYou did something. No human can make me stop, but you did.ö It narrowed its eyes. ôWhat are you?ö

Usagi wanted to know the same thing, but before she could get an answer out of him. She heard. It. Sirens. ôDid he just call the police?ö

ôAhh, it seems that my friends are here.ö He faced the cars. ôQ1, itÆs time for you to make your move.ö

ôMy move?ö Sailor Moon looked confused. ôBut, I donÆt have my Tiara!ö

The man laughed. He pushed his cape over himself, looked at the sky, and pointed a Gatling gun to the roof. ôOh, you have. Just remain behind the creature.ö He pushed the button his gun and a hook embedded itself on the building wall. ôWhile I stand back and watch the police take care of you.ö

Usagi was speechless. Before she get could get a word out she heard the distinct sounds of sirens, and ôWe have you surrounded" around her. Turning to that direct she couldnÆt help but shudder at the rows, and rows of officers who were waiting to arrest the demon, and her, who was standing right behind her.

Like some kind of accomplice.

Well, that is one way to get an 'ally.' I think Usagi is going to wish for more brainpower soon, whether it be from herself or another Senshi. I'd imagine this is second time of the night that she wishes she never listened to Luna & became Sailor Moon. Kind of suspicious Luna dashed off as well...

Part 3 of 10

...


ôExcellent.ö Everything was going just as he planned. Sailor Moon was in jail, the Youma had been shot to death, and he was free for the next few hours.

The masked hero of justice took off his helmet, checked himself in the window of the store, and looked around. He had to make sure no one spotted him changing back to civilian guards, and make double sure no one recognized him. If the security footage showed him appearing on the crime scene chances were he was going to be in Jail, just like Moon.

He didnÆt want that; he knew perfectly well what jail did to girly men like him. ôPerfect, everything is fine, nothing is amiss, and I didnÆt even have to get hurt.ö He originally expected to get punched around by the Youma, but surprisingly his powers worked on the creature. In reality it probably wasnÆt supposed to, but it did. ôNow whatÆs the next step?ö

He looked down, pulled out a notebook, and proceeded to the next of his plans. Normally he wouldnÆt keep a book, if for some reason or other he got a concussion, he really didnÆt want to think. Fortunately, that didnÆt happen, so the book was simply a keep track sheet. ôHmm, rob the Jewel Shop now that demon has been taken care of.ö

The boy smiled. Great. This was great. He could just blame the robbery on the Youma. He pulled out a bag, a black one for blending into the darkness and proceeded to walk inside the store. Carefully, and with quite precision, he was able to gather the most valuable wears. He wasnÆt going to sell them, not exactly, but he knew people who needed rare and valuable jewels.

If he simply needed money, all he needed to do was brain wash some fool into giving him some. No. He wasnÆt here for that, he was here for something a bit more complicated. ôSo every last one of these has a spell?ö He had been watching the GeneralÆs creature suck the civilians here dry, and, oddly enough, these cursed jewels were exactly what he wanted.

ôNow I just have to make sure I donÆt keep them on me for too long.ö No need to lose energy over this, as he needed every bit he could get his hands on. After packing up what he needed, checking the security cameras, and forging some fake vids, he was able to get out of the district without being seen.

At some point he saw a cab and got into the car when it pulled over. Of course, when the cabby asked for money he used his eye to brainwash the poor sucker into thinking he had already been paid, and also paid to keep his mouth shut.

Yes. Our hero didnÆt believe in the æGreat Power, Comes Great Responsibility'Æ gig.

Once he was safely in his apartment he took off his shoes, jacket, bag, and cursed jewels, then rested on a sofa. Sighing in contentment he looked at his toes, then fingers, to make sure there were no bruises from wearing his old suit, and smiled at his success.

Now all that was left to do was check the news. ôBreaking Report: A teenage girl has attempted an armed robbery at a local Jewel Store. Surprisingly, reports say she broke into the place wearingà.ö

The boy rested his chin on his hand, and smiled. His black hair covered one eye, giving him an appearance of a villain, while his pale complexion glowed in the darkness. ôWe disabled one of them with rubber bullets, yet she simply turned to dust if you can believe it.ö The teen chuckled at this. ôWe tried to get some footage on the camera, but they didnÆt show up.ö

Of course they didnÆt, Zero made sure to get rid of it. ôBut we do have her in custody, and we will be getting the full story from her tonight.ö

He chuckled at that. They probably had the entire story by now. The blond probably spilled the beans the first ten minutes. She looked horrified being dragged into that cop car, and he was pretty sure one of the older cops grabbed her ass at some point.

Getting a cup of tea Zero thought about the next part of his plan, and realized he didnÆt need to orchestrate it. That strange talking cat was probably trying to get Moon out of jail anyway. If not, well, she was still a minor. Maybe jail might teach her to be more careful when playing super hero. HeavenÆs knew he, himself, had to be on edge back in his own world.

Speaking of his own world. ôLetÆs see now, what day would it be there?ö He looked at his phone. It was an old cell phone, a phone he had been carrying when he died, back when his best friend stabbed him with a sword.

ôExactly one week.ö One week since the fall of the Evil Demon Emperor. ôIÆm sure Nunally and the others have calmed down by now. ô Though somehow he doubted it.

They had cared, especially Kallen. He had seen a glimpse of her face, angry, hurt, betrayed, and worried. Had he lived would they have been something? Probably. Then there was Nunally. If he lived, there relationship wouldnÆt have been the same no more. Not after all he had done. Not after all he had become.

But then she did cry for him, telling him to come back, no, begging him to come back. ôBut I canÆt.ö He canÆt go back. Not after all he has done.

And even if he wanted to, how would he return? This place, this city, this world. It wasnÆt his. He was a stranger, a drifter, and no matter how he looked at it he was here to stay.

ôIt seems the girl has identified herself as Sailor Moon, police are having a difficult time identifying her, despite her face not being covered, and camera pics seem to bluràö

The ex-Demon Emperor sighed. Should he? Should he really try and save her? He turned his face to his mask, then to the Moon, and grimaced. ôJust this one time. ô HeÆll bail her out this time, but next time she was on her own.

Hopefully this will teach her not to be too trusting.

And then he finds that he can still be brain washed and is an evil queen's sex toy.

Is he supposed to be smart? Because all he is doin is making enemies while committing petty crimes.
