SAILOR Q: An American Senshi

Episode 1

Sin-jin of the week: Terrawoman

 

The void was nothingness. Silence and darkness was the sound and chaos was the order. A group of figures stood amongst 5 dark open gateways; the sixth was empty. A tall man with blazing red eyes moved forward to the shadowy figure seated on a large throne. “Has the time come?” the female voice said from the throne, although it seemed to echo the entirety of the great void. “Yes, to open The Shadow Gate we need energy, and all the energy we need is out there…” The man pointed to the darkness and suddenly a blue and green sphere appeared before them. “Very well. Proceed as we planned.” The man bowed before the figure. “Yes. My queen.” He said as he vanished.

The Ferrari was moving at incredible speed. At the wheel was what looked like a man. The figure however was that of a woman. Her dirty brown hair waved in the wind as she continued down the road. In the seat next to her was a woman just as attractive. In her arms she nestled a baby girl, one who had caused quiet a problem the last time they saw her. “This…is…perfect, Michiru.” The brown haired woman said, turning to her companion. “Just you, me, and Hotaru-chan here on the American road!” “Yes, well,” Michiru turned to her, “Did we have to come this far away from Tokyo, Haruka…Haruka?” Haruka’s face had changed from one of freedom to one of worry. “Something’s wrong.” She said turning to Michiru, “Can’t you feel it? We have to turn here!” Haruka quickly turned the car towards the next turn, waking baby Hotaru in the process. “What do you mean, something’s wrong?” Michiru asked Haruka. “It’s just a feeling.” She said as they continued down the road.

“Matt. Matt. Hey! Matt!” Matt turned to his friend Ellie, meeting her gaze with his own glazed expression. “Huh…oh…well I just had this weird dream last night. That’s all” She looked deeper into his eyes then pulled back. “Oh, okay”. Matt sighed, then continued to stare blankly. What was that dream about?, he thought to himself, and who were those girls? He looked out the window. “I have a feeling,” He said to himself as he stroked his stubby beard, “that all the answer will come today..” Meanwhile, down at a nearby construction site, a shadowy figure tossed a dark crystal into a pile of loose earth and laughed to himself.

The last bell of the day had rung. All the students were gone. Matt, however, decided on a walk home. The dream still seemed to run through his head, like some broken movie projector. He sighed to himself as he continued to wonder what it was all about. “Yo. You want a ride?” The voice had come from behind him. He turned to face the speaker only to trip and fall onto her so that his face met hers…actually to be more precise, his lips met hers. The next thing he knew he was stuffed into the back of a car with his face hurting from the slap Haruka had given him.

“So…um…what’s going on here?” Matt turned to the still-angry Haruka and amused Michiru. “Well…this is Haruka Tenoh. I’m Michiru Kaioh and this little girl is Hotaru Tomoe. We’re students from Japan, just traveling around the world!” Matt gave her a long pause, and then turned to Haruka. “That’s not what I mean. Where are you taking me?” Haruka turned to him. “Hey! You said you wanted a ride! Anyway..” Her face suddenly softened. “It’s a nice day!” Matt sighed and just looked ahead. Suddenly he winced and felt his head pound. He gripped his head as the feeling grew worse and worse. “Hey, hey! Are you okay?” Matt looked up at Haruka, who was staring at him puzzled. “Yeah, I’m alright.” Matt shook his head. He didn’t know what was going on. Haruka stopped next to a construction site. “So, um, why are we stopping?” Matt looked around. This was an odd place to stop. Haruka simply pointed downwards. Matt looked down only to see a flat tire. “Oh.” Matt shifted his look from Haruka to Michiru and back again. They looked familiar. As Haruka started to change the tire, Matt pause. “Haruka.” Haruka turned to face him. “Yeah, what’s up?” Matt turned to the young woman. “Have you ever had the feeling that something would happen. Something that would change your life forever?” Haruka paused and everything turned quiet. “Well…” Meanwhile, at the construction site, three men started their work. Suddenly the ground glowed a dark red. The dirt and gravel congealed and form into that of a young woman. She opened her mouth and uttered her name: “Teeeeerrrrrrrraaaawoooooommmmmmaaaannn!!!”

Haruka turned, hitting Matt with the spanner in the process. “Michiru!” Michiru simply nodded and put Hotaru in the car. Matt could only dazedly watch as the two ran into the thicket. Back at the site, Terrawoman was grabbing a construction worker and sucking the life energy out of him. “Energy, energy, energy!!!!” she said crazily, laughing a gravely life. “Stop right there!!” a voice said from behind. Terrawoman dropped her victim and turned to face the source. The two figures stood back to back as rose petals few in the wind. “Guided by a new era, Sailor Uranus, acting with elegance!” Haruka turned now the senshi of earth, Sailor Uranus. “Also guided by a new era, Sailor Neptune, acting with grace!” Michiru followed her companion’s example, now the senshi of water, Sailor Neptune. The two heroes jumped high and landed a few feet from their foe. Terrawoman simply smirked at the two. Uranus started the attack. “WORLD…SHAKING!!” Her energy ball hit the ground with a tremendous force, plowing through the dirt and rocks. Terrawoman stood her ground as the ball of earth energy passed right through her body, causing no damage! “What the hell? That should have at least cracked her a bit!” Sailor Uranus said in shock. Neptune turned to her companion. “Given that our enemy is made of earth, I guess your earth attacks won’t work on it.” Uranus turned to Neptune with a slightly sarcastic look. “Oh, thank you! Don’t you think I can see that!!?” Neptune turned back to the enemy, who was glowing menacingly red. “DEEP…SUBMERGE!!” She flung the orb of water energy at the creature, enveloping in the blue liquid. As it cleared, they to their horror, the creature was not in slightest damaged! It had changed it body to heavy stone with simply had grounded it from the attack. Terrawoman charged the two, who easily dodged it attack. Sailor Uranus brought out her Space sword to slash the creature, but it sank into the ground as quickly as she could attack. It suddenly grabbed Neptune by the legs (from under the ground) and flung her at Uranus. The two were soon hit by a hail of energy-laced stones, which bashed and bloodied the two. Panting and sweating, the two watched as the creature moved in for the kill. Suddenly two pair of arms held the creature’s arms back. “Run, get out of here!” Matt said, trying the keep the creature from attacking the two. Uranus and Neptune looked in shock at him. Matt knew he couldn’t keep the thing back! “Get going before it…” Suddenly, Terrawoman grabbed Matt by the head and held him before the two senshi. “His energy will be wonderful! Watch as I destroy him!!” Matt could feel as his energy leave his body. He remembered his friend ellie had cared about him. How Haruka and Michiru, even though they were strangers, had been friends to him. He couldn’t give up, he wouldn’t! “I can feel your energy” Terrawoman laughed, “I can feel…BURNING!!!” Her hand was glowing bright green. It’s hand quickly crumbled to dust, dropping Matt on the ground. Matt’s forehead was glowing bright green, or to be exact the Q on his forehead was glowing. A light suddenly burst forth in front of him, reveling a transformation wand. “What the hell’s going on?” Uranus said as she watched all this. Matt slowly moved forward and took the wand. “Q PLANET POWER…MAKEUP!!” His male body disappeared, giving way to a female one. As the light cleared, a new Sailor Senshi stood in their midst. “I am the warrior of wind and wisdom” she said triumphantly, “Invited by a new era, Sailor Q, acting with Intelligence!” Uranus and Neptune just stared at the figure in the sailor fuku, not blinking. “Huh?” That was the only thing that Uranus could get out of her own mouth. Terrawoman just smirked as she rebuilt her shattered hand with the rocks and dirt from the site. “I guess I’ll just have some more fun with you!” She said as she shot gravel at Sailor Q. Q, however, merely dodged it and flipped over the head of the angry Sin-Jin. As Terrawoman turned around, she got a nice swift kick in the face, followed by a punch in the gut. Reeling from the heavy blows, Terrawoman fashioned both her upper part of her arms into sharp rock blades. “You want to mess with me, bitch!?! Well come and get some!!” it screamed loudly, charging her. Even though it slashed with all it’s might, Sailor Q just dodged it’s attacks and followed it up with kicks and punches. Now cracked and dizzy, Terrawoman showed signs of the wear and tear. Sailor Q gathered the wind energy. “Q..WIND..BLAST!!!” She yelled as she sent the orb of wind energy at her enemy. On impact, Terrawoman’s black crystal shattered and turned to dust. Sailor Q sighed then looked at herself. “WHAT %$#@ HAPPENED TO ME!!!” she screamed. Uranus walked over to her. “You’re a sailor senshi, like us, I guess.” Sailor Q looked at her angrily. “Yeah, well, how do I turn back?” Neptune moved forward. “You just relax and concentrate on becoming yourself!” Sailor Q started to do that and in a flash, Sailor Q disappeared and became Matt. Sailor Uranus and sailor Neptune kept staring however. “What?” Matt said in suspicion, before realizing something was wrong with his voice. Carefully, he traced his body with his hands until he came to his chest, then he gave a quiet yelp. “Whaat the hell is going on!” Neptune looked over “him”. “I guess this was your original body, in the time of the silver millennium.” Uranus smiled, “You look kinda cute like that!” Matt turned to Uranus. “I don’t care!!! I mean I can disguise my voice and maybe my looks but these…” “He” pointed to his chest. “What am I suppose to do with these!!!” Haruka (she changed back) ran to the car and threw Matt some bandages. “Here these outta take care of that.” Haruka and Michiru climbed back into the car and started to drive away. “Hey!!! You can’t leave me here like this!!!” Matt yelled at them. “It looks like you have some battles ahead of you!!! Good luck!!!” Haruka yelled back as the car disappeared into the sunset. Matt stood there, first looking at the bandages than at the Q transformation wand. As she (lets call her she from now on) walked away, she could only think one thing: Man, This sucks!!! Meanwhile a dark figure with red eyes watched her leave….

Thou art…What!?!

Sin-Jin of the Week: Masko

 

Matt lay on her bed looking up at the ceiling. Man, she thought to herself, sometimes life can just suck. After all, she had just fought off two strange creatures in the past 2 days. At least she had some help on the first one, but the second one she had to tackle by herself. “Where the hell are these things coming from?” she said to herself out loud. Oh well it would have to wait; it was the least of her worries. Tomorrow, her family would be going to a production of Macbeth and she just felt a little weird going to see a story of death with these creatures appearing. Matt sat up and went to her dresser. Opening the bottom drawer, she took out her transformation wand and took a good hard look at it. Why, she thought to herself, why me? “Why was I chosen for this?” Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Matt could hear her younger sister’s voice. “Yo, dork!!!” she said in her usual angry voice, “I thought mom told you to work on your homework!” Matt opened the door slightly and looked at her with narrow eyes. “I know…I got it finished already!” She then narrowed her eyes even more. “And don’t call me dork!!” Matt said angrily. She then slammed the door and looked back at the wand on her bed. “Well…” she said sighing to herself, “It’s not like anything else can go wrong…”

In the dark void, Faris kneeled before the figure on the throne. “You have failed me again, Faris.” The female voice said angrily. Faris did not look up. “I am sorry, my queen. The power that thwarted us before reappeared. This will not happen again!” His crimson eyes seem to seethe and burn with anger. “Make sure of that, Faris.”, the voice said unemotionally, “The Shadow Gate must be operational and we require life-energy to open it!! Now go and carry the operation out.” Faris stood up and bowed to the figure. “Yes, my queen.” Faris disappeared into the shadows once more. “This power…It must be destroyed” the figure said before the five other figures, who all bowed and walked back to their respected places in the void.

At a theater, somewhere in the Twin Cities, the director walks up and down the stage impatiently. “Damn actors! You think you run everything? Well you don’t!” he yells at the actors, who are all sitting in the audience seats. He stops and calms down. “Look, tonight is our first performance and we can’t allow mistakes to happen! Like this!!” He picks up a drama mask on the ground. “Look, we can’t leave props on the stage like this!! Where’s the person in charge of props!” A man dressed in a loose T-shirt and blue jeans, with a cap hiding his face. “Here, put this where this belongs!!!” the director says tossing the mask to him, “now where was I…” Meanwhile, backstage, the props guy laughs to himself and puts a dark crystal on the mask. The crystal disappears and the mask’s eyeholes glow red. “Many people…” the props guy takes off his cap revealing Faris, “Perfect…” he says as he disappears once more, leaving the mask glowing evilly in the dark prop room.

Meanwhile, Matt (dressed in her best sweater and jeans) looked lazily out of the car window. Streetlamp after streetlamp based by swiftly. Matt sighed; her sister, mother and uncle were having a conversation but Matt couldn’t hear them or she was just not paying attention. She just stared out into the dark night sky. She had a feeling; no, not a feeling, more of just a thought, that tonight something was going to happen.

The director was not happy. Not only did it seem that no one was ready for the production but it seemed one of the girls who played one of the three witches was feeling ill. Almost as if she was drained of energy. He called the props guy to ask him if the stand-in was ready for the production. The props man simply nodded and smiled. She’s ready, all right, he thought to himself as he disappeared back into the shadows. “Alright everyone!!” the director shouted at the top of his lungs, “The show will go on!!” The stand-in for the third witch, her face concealed by the hood and cloak she wore and laughed to herself in a strange laugh: “Maaaaaaaskkkooooo!!”

In the commons, Matt indulged herself by looking at various pretty girls, which attracted some odd stares. She was sure she had the feeling that something wasn’t right. That something was going to happen here. She just couldn’t get it off her mind. Her thoughts were interrupted by the trumpets, which announced the beginning of the play. She rushed to get to her seat.

The play was now nearing the second half. Matt had not watched most of it; her mind was on other things. They were just beginning the scene where Macbeth meets with the three witches, when the fog effect that had been covering the stage set began to creep into the audience. Matt turned to see people begin to faint as they lost their life energy. Pretty soon, it was getting near to where her family was. “Mom, Jess, Uncle, Get out of here now!!!” She yelled as she pushed them out the door. They obliged but soon Matt separated from them. “Showtime” she whispered underneath her breath. “Q PLANET POWER MAKEUP!!!”

Back in the theater, the director crawled out to the stage, his energy nearly gone. “Whhattt…arrre yyyou.” He said as he crawled towards the witches’ replacement. With his last ounce of strength, he pulled of her cloak to reveal the Sin-jin underneath. Then he passed out. Masko smiled wickedly. “What fools these mortals be” she said with a laugh. “So, you thought you could hide in this play.” A voice said in the rafters. “Well, your acting stinks!!” Masko looked up to see who had spoken. Sailor Q was perched on top of one of the light fixtures and smiled down at the monster. “You dare harm innocents here, you must be destroyed!” She jumped down to the stage and faced Masko. The Sin-jin simply shrugged and laughed. “Thou must be truly foolish, if thou wishes to combat me!” Sailor Q didn’t waste a second. She attempted a flying kick, which the monster simply dodged, laughing at her. “Thou are a fool!!! You shall fall to my power!!” She grabbed one of the masks off her chest, making a complete copy. She threw it at Q, making a huge explosion. Sailor Q, coughing, attempted to see. “Man, This sucks!!” She said to herself. The fog was pierced by a red light, which Sailor Q had the sense to dodge. She would have to wait for the appropriate time. The fog was still thick, when she got an idea. Masko looked around. She must destroy the enemy. That was her job and business. Suddenly, a shape lay before her, complete with a tiara. “HA!! You are truly the fool!!!” she said, as she let out a lethal blast, which hit the object point-blank. As she moved forward, she noticed something wrong. It was a dummy!!! “So who’s the fool…” Sailor Q looked down from the rafters at the dumb-founded Sin-Jin. “Q WIND BLAST!!!” Sailor Q sent the lethal shot straight at Masko, shattering the Dark Crystal. Sailor Q jumped down and picked up her tiara and the fallen mask. “Where are these things coming from…” She then realizes that soon everyone would awaken. She put on her tiara and ran out.

That night, Matt looked up at her ceiling. Thinking and wondering what to do next…

Dancing up and down

Sin-Jin of the week: TuTuran

 

Matt’s house is shaking with loud music. Sitting at the table, Matt is trying to do her homework, while also trying to cover her ears. Her sister, Jess, is dancing to the music. Matt looks up with rings under her eyes. “What? Are you trying to do to me? Make me deaf?” Jess stops and glares at Matt. “You very well know why I’m doing this!!” She yells back. Matt glares back at her. “So in other words, you are trying to make me deaf?” Jess looks at Matt with an even worst look and it looks like there’s a fight about to start, when their mom comes in. “Matt, stop bugging your sister!” She said with a kind but stern voice. “You know very well that she has that dance contest coming up! And Jess, dear…” She turns to Jess. “Turn down that music. It’s driving your father crazy!!” Both unhappily agree, but still give themselves evil glares. Matt went back up to her room. She knew that his sister was excited about the dance contest at school, but that didn’t mean that she had to practice all night and all day, and not all that but she had the music on so loud. Matt sat down on her bed. It was just for this week…then it would all be over.

In a dark room, within the chaotic void, Faris stood alone. He carefully studied the energy he had gathered so far. It was an adequate amount, but it was still small. He then moved to a screen, which displayed an image of the earth. Moving his hands, over the screen, he observed his Sin-Jin’s previous battles with Sailor Q. “Who is this girl?…” he whispered to himself, “She must not interfere!!!” He passed his hand over the screen, shutting it off. He then moved to another part of the room, which glowed menacingly. Faris looked over his dark crystals and smiled to himself. “I believe that I should give a proper introduction…”

At school, Matt walked through the hall between classes, when her friend, Ellie, came up to her. “Hey, are you going to enter that dance contest? You could do that great dance that you did at the fall musical cast party!” Matt sweat dropped and turned to Ellie. “ I wasn’t dancing. Actually I was trying to adjust my shoes at the time.” Ellie turned red with embarrassment. “Oh…sorry! I heard that your sister is going to be in it. Is it true?” Matt simply nodded. What she won’t give to be somewhere else. She hated to talk about family. “Hey, Matt, know who I wish was at the dancing contest?” Matt turned to Ellie. “Who?” Ellie looked up at the ceiling. “Sailor Q.” Ellie nearly tripped on the face fallen Matt. “WHY!?!” Matt said, even though her face was face down on the floor. “Well…I mean, she’s like a superhero…so I bet that she can really dance well!” Matt was just speechless. “Hey! Matt!” It was Jordan, head of the drama club and the person who had started this whole dance contest in the first place. Matt looked up, her face dusty from the floor. “What you want?” Jordan gave Matt a hand getting up. Matt got up and wiped the dust off her body (and made sure the bandages that kept her chest flat were still intact). “I have a problem…one of my judges dropped out and I need a replacement…” Matt looked at Jordan and her eyes narrowed in suspicion. “You don’t mean…” Jordan nodded. “You have to…you’re the only guy I know that I can trust!” At the word “guy”, Matt once again sweatdropped. “I really don’t know…I mean my sister is in the dance contest…” Matt could just imagine her sister: “YOU WILL DIE, DORK!!!” It was enough to give him shivers. Jordan looked closely at Matt and so did Ellie. “PLEASE…” Matt couldn’t help it. With a sigh, she nodded. “Alright, what time will I need to be here?” Jordan pats her on the back. “About 5:00! Thanks a lot!” Matt just sighed. Well, she should start on her will…

The stage was empty. Although the rest of the auditorium was decorated for the big dance contest, everything was quiet. Out of the shadows, a figure hovered over the empty stage. Faris looked over the area with amusement. “This will be perfect.” As he landed, his clothes and hair changed to a more ‘normal’ look. He pulled a dark crystal out of his pocket and threw it backstage. “Now…Sailor Q. Shall we dance?” He laughed to himself as the backstage glowed menacingly.

Matt chewed her food nervously. Her sister and mother were talking about the contest. She knew that she would have to tell her sister sometime. “Um…I’m judging it you know…” It seemed like the room’s sound was sucked out. Her mom broke the silence. “Well, that’s nice! You get to see Jessie then!” Matt turned to face Jessie. She expected to see “the great demon” breath fire at her (figure of speech). Oddly, Jessie didn’t pay attention. She simply finished her meal and walked up stairs. This was odd.

On the stage, last minute preparations were being made. Matt went up to Jordan, who was talking to several of the set crew. “Hey! Jordan! Where am I supposed to be?” Jordan turned to face Matt. “Go to the choir room…that’s where the other judges are.” Matt nodded and went to the room like she was told to in. Inside, sat three individuals. One was Alex Leonard, another member of the drama club; Jacque Carlson, a choir member, and someone who Matt didn’t recognize. He probably was another last minute addition by Jordan. As Matt sat down, the figure looked up briefly. His crimson eyes shined malevolently as he sensed enormous energy. Soon it would be time.

Matt went out for a drink of water, when she saw her sister go by. She looked different; paler and she looked nervous. Matt followed her into the dressing room. “Are you okay, Jess?” Matt said nervously. “NO!!” she said, without looking at Matt, “I mean how would you feel if your brother was judging you!! I mean, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go through with this!” Matt patted her on the back. “Don’t worry. It’s not like anything worse could happen.” Matt then left and headed towards the stage.

They were already halfway through the competition and Matt couldn’t stand it anymore. Half of the entries were either rap or break-dancing. It was getting dull. She turned to look at the other judges. Alex and Jacque were asleep, but the other guy was wide-awake. Matt eyed him suspiously, but then the next entry came in. She was a ballerina and her face was oddly masked. As everyone watched, she performed some amazing moves. Finally she bowed and suddenly shot out ribbons at the audience and several of the judges. Matt dodged the ribbon and landed on the stage. Looking at the audience, she saw that all of them had had their energy absorbed by the ribbons. Matt turned to face the ballerina, who had now become a Sin-Jin. She sneered at her. “Tuuuuuuuuuu-Tuuu-ran!!!” She shot out another ribbon at Matt, which attached to her neck as she ran out to the exit. Struggling against the energy drain, Matt managed to wring it off and gasping for breath, pulled out her transformation wand. “Q…PLANET…POWER…MAKEUP!!!!!” Back inside the auditorium, TuTuran continued to drain energy from the audience and the other entries (including Jessie). Suddenly the doors burst open and a figure was silhouetted in the light. “Dance is a form of expression and you dare to ruin it? I’m Sailor Q, warrior of wind and wisdom and I’ll destroy you!!” TuTuran simply laughed. “A simple enemy like you will be a waste of my time! But for the sake of my master, a simple person like you, I will fight you.” She let loose a stream of ribbons straight at Q. Sailor Q ducked and dodged the ribbons, but was suddenly caught by one. Sailor Q was dragged back to the stage and came face to face with the Sin-Jin again. She smiled at Q. “Now…” She said in a stuck up manner, “my greatest performance!” She began to spin, with Sailor Q still attached by the ribbon. Spinning Q fast and hard, she started to prepare for her next attack. “Pas-de-bourree attack!” She gave Sailor Q a good kick. Sailor Q was hit in the stomach by the kick and it sent her hitting a wall. However, she was not finished with Q yet! Starting her attack again, she began to spin Q around faster then before. This time, however, Q was ready and bouncing off one of the walls, gave TuTuran a good kick in the face! Wheeling back, TuTuran felt the blood trickling down her face. “YOU BITCH!!! I’LL KILL YOU!!!” she screamed at the top of her lungs. However it was too late. “Q…WIND…BLAST!!!” The attack struck the creature in the face, destroying its dark crystal and restoring it back to a pile of ribbons. Sailor Q caught her breath, when suddenly a bolt of dark lighting nearly hit her. Wheeling around, she faced a mysterious man with green hair and piercing red eyes. He smiled wickedly at Sailor Q. “So this is the powerful Sailor Q! How pathetic!” Sailor Q stared at the man. “Who are you?” Sailor Q said, still smarting from her injuries. The Man looked straight at Q. “They call me Faris” he said in a dark tone. Faris began to power up a beam attack, aimed straight at Sailor Q’s chest. “And now, Sailor Q, the end…” Sailor Q closed her eyes, awaiting the worst. “DEAD…SCREAM!!!” A ball of energy nearly hit Faris. Faris looked around and stared at Sailor Q. “We’ll meet again. Sailor Q, I bid you adieu.” Faris disappeared into the darkness once more. Sailor Q got up and looked around. Other then the passed out audience, no one else was there. Sailor Q headed for the exit, as the people began to awake.

On their way out to their parent’s car, Matt looked back her sister. Jessie was talking excitedly to her friends as she clutched the 1^st place trophy. Matt couldn’t help but smile, as she stared up at the stars and the bright full moon.

Faris sat in his room, alone, feeling the small injury that he had received. It was still sore. How could Sailor Quinox have hit him like that? She was stronger then he thought. *Flashback: Faris began to power up a beam attack, aimed straight at Sailor Quinox’s chest. “And now Sailor Quinox…the end…” “DEAD SCREAM!!” A ball of energy nearly hit Faris…* He would have to be more careful next time…He knew that he must succeed for Queen Necros…

Matt walked tiredly through the halls at school. She could hardly keep her eyes open during first hour and she felt that she could just collapse where she was standing. “Hey!! Matt!!!” A familiar voice rang in her ear. Ellie walked next to Matt and looked over her tired friend. “So…something wrong?” Matt looked at the inquisitive Ellie. “If you count feeling like a pile of carp as being wrong, then yes, something is wrong!!” She turned back to getting to second hour. If she had to fight one more creature…one more…she would scream!!! Ellie stop sort of the classroom. “If it makes you feel any better, I got these…” She held out four tickets. Matt took one of them and took a better look at it. They were tickets to a concert by a touring Japanese band called R3. She heard of them. They were actually one of her favorite bands. “So why are you giving me these?” Ellie looked at Matt. “Well, one of my friends had to drop out of this concert and since you looked down…I though you would like to go!” Matt took the ticket in her hand and looked at it. It would be a terrible waste not to go. Matt looked at Ellie. “Alright…I’ll go!” she said. Ellie smiled and walked away happily. “Now…” Matt said to herself, “I’ll have to convince Mom and Dad to let me go!”

“Alright, let’s try that again!” Tayoko Masumi, the lead singer of R3 said to his colleges. The others just nodded in agreement. “Hey! First let me get my replacement guitar.” Nomu Seta, one of the other singers said to Tayoko. “Hey! You!” he yelled to a stagehand, “hand me another guitar!” The stagehand merely nodded and handed him a guitar from backstage. The stagehand walked backstage again. Hiro Mano, the third singer, turned to the others. “Hey, you know. I’ve never seen that guy before. He must be new.” Backstage, the stagehand smiled evilly.

Matt arrived home at her usual time. Her sister Jessie was on the couch, watching TV, which was running a commercial for R3’s concert. “Matt honey, isn’t that that Japanese band you like so much?” Matt’s mom said as she came in with Jessie’s drink. Matt looked at it and then looked back at her mom, slightly nervous. “Um…mom, say that someone had gotten tickets to this show…would…” “You got tickets to the show…” Matt’s mom said abruptly. Matt was a little stunned by this, but kept on going. “So…um…can I go?” she said nervously. Matt’s mom turned to her and gave a warm smile. “Why not? If you have a ride and as long as you don’t take any drugs or drink alcohol…” Matt nearly fell on her face. “I hope you enjoy it!!” Matt’s mom said as she headed back to the kitchen. Matt, meanwhile, still stunned, walked woodenly up the stairs to her room.

At the concert area, Tayoko was in his dressing room looking over the lyrics he was to sing. He suddenly became aware of a strange humming noise. It started soft and began to get louder. He suddenly realized that it was coming from his guitar. “What the heck…” As he bent down to look at it, it suddenly burst in light. He couldn’t stop staring at it. He seemed overcome by something. As he fell on his knees, the door began to open…and Faris looked at the unconscious man…he smiled.

Matt sat next to Ashley, one of Ellie’s friends, while Ellie’s mom drove the van, heading for the concert. Matt felt very uncomfortable, partially because of the bandages that kept her chest flat, but mostly because she had a feeling. It was the same feeling she felt just before something was going to happen…but she shook out of it as they approached the stadium where the concert was being held. As Matt stepped out, the feeling came back…and she stopped and looked around. “Matt!!! Come on!! We have to get to our seats!!” Ellie grabbed Matt by the arm and pulled her in the direction of the stadium entrance.

“Hey….where’s Tayoko?..shouldn’t he be here by now?” Nomu said, clutching his guitar. Hiro put down the water bottle he was sipping and turn to Nomu “now that you mention it…I haven’t seen him….and we’re due on stage in 5 mins.” A hand grabbed Nomu by the shoulder and he jumped….Tayoko looked at Nomu with a dazed look. “….It’s time we got onstage, guys” he said in a monotone voice. Nomu just nodded slowly, while Hiro clutched his guitar tighter.

Matt looked at the stage. It was decorated with bright colors and a neon sign in the back that said “R3” in blue. Ellie giggled at the stage “THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT!! I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR “ TRANSFORM THE PLANET”!!!” Ashley and Matt just sweat dropped. Ellie started to jump up and down. “Look!! The concert’s starting!!!” Matt watched as the three musicians showed up. Everyone cheered loudly as began to play some of their top hits. Matt looked up at Tayoko…and started to blush for some reason, although Ashley and Ellie didn’t notice. Matt quickly snapped out of it as Tomoko got up to play his solo. As he strummed his guitar, matt started to feel oddly woozy. She looked around, noticing everyone was starting to either fall asleep or faint. Matt turned towards the stage as the other rockers except for Tomoko had fallen under the spell as well. Matt jumped up towards onto the stage and tackled Tomoko, knocking him over. Matt kept blushing as she got off the knocked out rocker as she heard a laugh. The guetar floated in the air and started to shift shape into that of a female creature, which looked like a cliché punk rocker. Matt quickly transformed as the thing stuck it’s long tongue at her. Sailor Quinox kept circling until the creature suddenly strummed it’s guiter, which sent a shockwave throwing quinox into a wall. Quinox barely got up in time to get wacked in the jaw by the creature. Quinox got slowly up and quickly head-butt the creature then as it shot another shock-wave out, leaped over it and kicked it in the back of the head. The thing fell over and turned to face quinox..only to meet face to face with a Air Blast. As the creature returned to a guiter, quinox ran over to check up on Tomoko. Tomoko managed to open a single eye, before Sailor Quinox ran off so as not to be seen.

As the concert continued, Matt ponder the reason for her feelings. It wasn’t as if she liked the guy. I mean, that would be silly, she reason. Suddenly Tomoko shouted out a dedication to “the girl in the sailor suit”. All Matt could do…was blush and smile.

Episode 6

Sailor Q: An American Senshi

Episode 6

“New Glasses! An evil plot??”

Sin-Jin of the week: Double-Vision

 

A woman walks down the street, the lamplight glinting off her stylish new glasses. She hums a happy tune as she walks without care thru the dark night. Suddenly she falls to her knees, gripping her glasses as they start to glow. She cries out in pain as she struggles with them finally pulling them off and gripping her eyes. A man rushes to her side, asking her what’s wrong. As she let’s go of her eyes, he sees they are now blank white balls.

There’s a loud crack from the bathroom, along with a short curse. “Awwww…man” Matt says as she lifts up what was once her glasses. The lens is now shattered, and one of the sides has broken off. “Not again…mom’s going to be so angry”. She sighs, not realizing her mother is behind her. About three mins later, Matt sighs to herself as her father looks at the glasses and her mom looks thru ads. “You busted these up pretty badly” Matt’s dad says looking at his “son”; “Let’s just hope your mother can find a sale to get some replacements.” Matt in the meanwhile attempted to adjust the bandages keeping her chest down without anyone noticing as her mom suddenly jumped up. “Here we go! Sale on new glasses at Lens-co!” Matt’s dad arched an eyebrow “Lens-co?…never heard of it.” Matt’s mom shrugged “it must be a new place….anyway…their having a sale with 50% off the retail price…I’m going to take matt there” Matt just slammed her head against the table. Her eyes didn’t notice the headline on the paper her head rested against: WOMAN FOUND BLINDED; NO MEDICAL REASON FOUND.

The building to Lens-Co looked like any other retail place. However, Matt got a chill down her spine seeing it. I may have been the giant mechanical winking eyes on the sign outside Or just the shape of the building, but she didn’t like it. Matt and her mom walked in to the lush room, each side set with various glasses. They stood in line quietly, though Matt could see her mom was impatient. They finally reached the counter, where a rather stern yet beautiful woman stood behind it. “You know…contacts are cheaper” Matt said trying to get out of this situation. The woman behind the counter was considerably riled but matt kept it up, with argument after argument. Finally, Matt’s mom burst in. “Dear…how about you go and see the frames..so you get a good idea of what you want…now” Matt could tell how angry she was even though she had her usual calm looking face, so Matt shuffled off to one side of the room. The frames were of every size and shape, of every color and tone. However Matt noticed one thing that was similar in all of them. On the edge of them, there was what looked like a tiny crystal, pure black. Matt got a shiver down her spine. It was a small breeze, hitting the back of her neck. Matt looked around and notices what looked like a small door. It was cleverly hidden among the corners. Matt’s curiosity took hold of her, overcoming her fear. She slowly opened the door and slipped in, not noticing the woman behind the counter, her eyes glowing slightly.

Matt walked down the short stairs, trying her best in the dark room. Her ears picked up the sound of something. It sounded like soft sobs, those of young women. Matt walked deeper into the room moving her hands around until it ran over something soft. Looking up, she came face to face with several young girls chained to the wall, their eyes covered by handkerchiefs. Matt carefully removed the bands off their eyes, revealing the two blank bulbs that they were now. “What happened….” Was all Matt could get out of her mouth. The girl groined slightly…one word emerging from her mouth “Glasses”. Matt backed off slightly, a bit in shock. Quickly she un-chained the girls, using a skeleton key her father gave her. Matt finally had realized what was wrong as she lead the girls up the stairs and opened the doors to find…. everyone out like a light. The only one who stood up was the woman behind the counter. Matt narrowed her eyes at her. As she watched, the woman’s framed shimmered and the creature that now stood was truly disturbing. It was defiantly female, it’s skin whitish blue. It had no eyes on it’s face and no mouth, only a nose. All over it’s body lay blinking eyes of various colors and sizes. It gave off a short laugh and charged Matt, who barely managed to get out of the way. Matt pulled out her wand and transformed to Sailor Quinox, just in time to get tackled to the floor. The thing attempted to stab her in the face with it’s long claws, but Quinox avoided them, kneeing the thing in the gut. The thing got up and stretched it’s arms out. Sailor Quinox barely had time as the thing opened every eye on it’s body, sending out a flash of light. Quinox put her hands over her eyes..then looked again. The room looked warped and blurred. Quinox could hardly avoid the thing as it charged her and head-butted her in the chin. Quinox hit the wall hard, feeling the warm blood run down her lips. Quinox moved her hands, trying to grab onto something. She felt the shape of what seemed like a Fire Extinguisher, as the thing charged again. Quinox swung the Extinguisher at the thing, sending it flying backwards into a glass display. Sailor Quinox wasted no time in powering up a Air Blast and firing it into the monster’s core. It screamed as it’s dark crystal shattered, revealing nothing more then an old pair of glasses. Sailor Quinox calmly wiped away the blood on her mouth and quickly retreated to de-transform.

In a dark corner of the abysses, Faris re-watches his Sin-Jin’s recent failure. “….well, well, well….let’s hope you do better then, Lilly” He turned to female figure behind him who bowed with respect. Neither knew they were also being watched, by a green haired woman from afar.
