Sailor Moon: A Retailing
Act One:
The Moon Rises Again


The moon was high and enormous in the clear dark sky. A boy, more like a young adult, was sleeping in his oversized and overstuffed bed. He had a pained look on his face as he tossed and turned in his bed sheets. A groan left his lips as he yelled and shot up into a sitting position, rolling his eyes to the back of his head and then falling back down and looking up at the ceiling.
                He breathed heavily as sweat rolled down the sides of his face, towards the white sheets and he stretched or tried to, he was so tangled into them that he could barely move. Well that explains the episode I just had… He thought, as he sighed and struggled. He finally made his way out of the bed and fell to the floor, sitting on his knee's he laid his head on the mattress and closed his eyes. That dream again...
                Tsukino Masao quickly got to his feet and made his way to the sliding glass door that led to his balcony. Opening the door and walking onto the balcony he looked out over the city that he called his home, Tokyo. He rubbed his bare shoulders, it was starting to get cold now. To his left was Tokyo Tower, and to his right was the bay, leaning onto the metal railing he took in the entire city. It was a sight that would take the breath away from anyone, anyone but Masao, he had too much on his mind.

                Masao was standing in the middle of a huge marble and stone hall. Standing in center of the hall gave him the perfect advantage of taking the building in. The center of the hall was lined with a dark red carpet, Masao knew that the carpet was removable, he didn’t know how he knew, he just did. The hall was lined with magnificent columns made of the same marble and it was lined with gold and silver. He was wearing some kind of battle outfit that looked like it belonged to some ancient civilization. He looked down the hall in front of him and noticed a girl running away. She wore an all white dress and she had long blonde hair put up into two pig tails.
                Running after the girl Masao noticed all the wall paintings, not wanting to stop, he just glanced, but what he saw was impressive. Glancing at all the paintings he came to a stop at an open door leading outside. He slowly walked to the huge double doors and walked out onto a marble balcony. The sight made his heart stop. He was staring at the planet earth! He was on the Moon! "You must remember..." He heard a voice behind him, turning...

                I always wake up there... He thought as he ran his hand through his messy blonde hair. He looked down at the street far below him, giving himself the feeling that he was falling. Laughing and looking back at the Tower he saw the faint line of the sunrise. I will never get use to being so high up, he though as he turned back and walked into his room. Grabbing a shirt he put it on and walked down the hall into the dining room. A light was on and he noticed a piece of paper on the wooden table, picking it up he skimmed the contents of the note.
                His parents will be in America for the next month on business. He rolled his eyes at his mother’s immature form of writing, but he had to smile. The woman still thought of him as a four year old. Putting the piece of paper down, he went into the kitchen and grabbed some breakfast. Since his parents were not home Masao decided to eat in the living room, watching MTV.
                "... And that was the latest from Miss Aino!" A man was shouting over the TV set, it was the morning count down. Masao made himself comfortable and took a bite of his food, watching the next music video that played. Thinking about his last dream, Masao only half listened to the music and daydreamed about living on the moon.
                "And NOW, a new song from the most beautiful and most talented girl out there right now... Mizuno Mika!" Masao came back to reality as the words crashed home. Mika! He turned up the volume of the television and listened to the new single that one of his favorite artist released. Tapping his foot to the beat and bobbing his head, he smiled. Looking at the clock he realized had late it had gotten. Rushing out of the chair he ran down the hall to get ready for school.

                Somewhere else in the world, far to the north a dark wind blew. Pure energy rushed down from the sky and flew past trees and mountains. It made its way further north, more and more snow was piling up and less living things could be found. The energy gathered more speed and flew as fast as it could, making its way farther north.
                The North Pole. One of the coldest places on earth, and one of the loneliest. The energy hovered and swirled in place and as if deciding on something slammed itself into the snow and frozen ice making its way down to depths unknown. The energy stopped in a deep underground cavern, sensing a "different" type of energy, familiar, yet not.
                Moving its way towards the energy it stopped and swirled around a piece of ice. The dark energy flickered into a human shape, but then faded quickly. "More..." The air hissed and swirled again. Inside the ice block was a frozen woman. A woman of immense beauty, with long wavy red hair and a dark lavender dress that clung too tightly to her very feminine form. The energy swirled faster around the ice and dark particles fell into the frozen ice block.
                The ice block began to crack and pieces began to fall to the frozen ground. With a loud bang the rest of the ice exploded into thousands of pieces and the frozen woman fell to the ground. A scream left the woman's lips as she hit the hard frozen ice and she looked around frantically. "Where?" The energy in front of the woman formed into a body again and quickly dissolved. The woman looked up at the energy as it flowed around her and then hovered in front of the kneeing woman.
                "Who are you?" The woman asked getting to her feet and fixing her dress, looking around the ice carven. The energy just hovered in front of the woman trying to take a form but it failed every time. A deep man like voice popped up in the woman's head. "That is not important. What is important that you will serve me." The woman smiled, not really listening to what the voice was saying.
                "The only person I serve is Queen Metallia and-" Without a second thought pain erupted inside the woman. She screamed as it felt like a million needles were stabbing all over her body. She fell to the ground, clutching herself, trying to gasp for breath. In the middle of a scream, the pain stopped and the woman just held herself in a ball, remembering the pain, crying and sniffing. "If I push a little harder..." The male voice began, but the woman quickly got to her feet. "I Beryl, will serve you my master.
               
                The sun was high in the sky and the air was crisp and cool, a slight breeze blew the scent of flowers through the air. Masao was sitting on a blanket with a group of his friends at lunch. Listening to everyone gossip about what had happened in the day so far. Masao took a bite out of his bento box. "Masao! Are you even listening?" A light girly voice asked him. Looking down Masao looked into his best friend's eyes. Umi. She was short, for a Japanese girl and had light eyes. Eyes to match her dark blue hair.
                "Sorry Umi." He started to pay attention as one of the girl's started to talk about Hino Takahito, the playboy punk of the school. Masao tuned everyone out again as the girl went on about the boy that Masao did not care for. Umi tugged on Masao's sleeve again and brought him out of his funk.
                "Hey, Masao, I forgot to mention this morning that my father got me tickets to the Mika concert that's going to be this Thursday night if you want to go with me?" Masao smiled at his friend and agreed to go with the girl. The bell rang for the teenagers to get back to their classrooms and all the friends stood up to hurry back to their studies.
                Masao and Umi were walking home from school when the two heard a group of children playing, then a hissing sound. Carious the two walked down a little alleyway and made their way into a parking lot with three boys playing with something. On closer inspection Masao noticed that two of the boys were holding a black cat down while the other one was poking it with a stick.
                "HEY!" Masao said as he ran towards the three little boys. The boys stopped and looked at the six foot frame of Masao stalking up to them and screamed. Putting a fist in the air the little boys fled in terror, screaming in a panic. Mika gave a slight giggle and put a hand to her forehead, "Really Masao..." Masao bent down and looked at the cat, as he reached out to pick it up he noticed a bald spot on its forehead, but the cat hissed and ran under a parked car.
                "Well. I guess she is okay." Masao said standing up and turning to Umi who just shrugged, they both turned to go and continue their way back home. Neither one noticed the black cat staring at them from under the car.
                Back at home, Masao laid his bag down and made his way to the kitchen wanting to make himself a snack. Humming he was think about the cat and the events of the day when he heard a crash from his bedroom. Freezing in place his mind raced on what it could be. My parents aren't home! Who.. What? Grabbing his bag and holding it like a weapon he slowly made his way to the back of the apartment.
                Turning around the corner into his room he didn't see anything but his pile of books and albums that had fallen to the floor. Laughing to himself he dropped the bag and walked into the room planning on straighten the mess when a black object jumped out of nowhere. Screaming and throwing his hands into the air Masao fell to the floor.
                "Sorry for scaring you." The cat spoke with an elegant female voice. Masao was about say something and then stopped. The cat is talking... The cat is talking... Masao's mouth was hanging open while the cat continued to speak. "I have been searching for you Masao. My name is Luna and I have been searching for you for a while now. I was starting to get worried that I wouldn't find you.
                Without saying a word, Masao fell onto his bed, muttering something. "It's a dream! It's just a dream!" Luna's eyes bulged with worry, jumping onto the bed the cat walked up to Masao's head. "This is NOT a dream Masao! Here I will prove it! The cat jumped into the air and twirled. When she landed an object landed next to her. Taking his head off his pillow Masao looked at the object. It was a jewel of some sort encased in gold and silver. A crescent moon was embedded in the center of the jewel.
                "Masao, you are the chosen warrior. It's your mission to find the rest of the team and defeat the enemy. You also must search for the Princess..." Masao was half paying attention as he was holding onto the jewel, he could see his reflection in it, he thought he was taking this pretty calmly. Luna stopped talking and voiced a concern. "You still don't believe me do..." Masao held the jewel at eye level and he felt, something. Throwing his hand into the air he shouted.
                "Moon Planet Power!" Slowly placing his hand at the level of his chest he began to glow and the jewel appeared where his hand was. More light filled the room and his cloths began to shift into a different outfit. After the light faded Masao was in a totally different outfit, he looked down at himself in complete shock.
                Masao was wearing a battle suit with armor covering certain areas. At the center of his chest was the jewel, encasing the jewel was silver trim that traced his chest armor that extended out onto shoulder pads. Under the armor was a type of black leather that was protective, yet very breathable and ended in long selves. At his waist he had a very wide silver belt with a crescent moon facing up in the center of it. From the belt shirt tails came down to a rounded point lined with silver. His pants were made from the same material as his shirt and were just as lose. They were tucked into knee- high boots that were also covered in armor, lined in silver. At his knee caps were more of the same silver jewel at his chest piece.
                "Wha- What is this?" Masao said with a very high voice, but stopped, he felt something in the air. Luna looked at Masao, a little taken aback; she didn't understand how Masao knew the right words? She voice just that has Masao turned to leave the room. "Masao! We’re you going?" Masao picked up speed and ran down the hall and out of his apartment. Luna watched and quickly followed.
               
                A woman was standing in the middle of a park looking at all of the young people lounging around. She smiled as she put a hand to her chin and picked her target. Her long blonde hair was held together at the middle of her back with a golden clasp. A lose strain of hair had blown in the direction of the wind, she ignored it. The woman was wearing an outfit that looked to be made of one piece. She had black leather pants, lined with gold and a black jacket, lined with the same gold. The jacket was buttoned from the left and looked tight over her chest.
                Snapping her fingers a figure appeared beside her. A yoma formed fully beside her and bowed awaiting orders. "The queen wants energy," her smiled deepened, but never touched her eyes. "Any energy will do, but make sure you get young girls..." She giggled at that and disappeared in a flourish of golden flower blossoms.
                The monster went to work straight away, sending out vines from an outstretched hand. The vines encircle a group of girls closest to it and they screamed. Energy began to flow from the girls into the yoma and he let them go. The girls fell to the ground and the yoma jumped to the next group of teenagers. The group split and vines flew in every direction.
                "Stop!" Masao yelled. The yoma stopped sucking energy out of the group and looked at the boy standing a few yards away from it. "Who are you..." It hissed and turned its head in an awkward position. Masao opened his mouth but nothing came out.. Who am I? Without any real thought the image of who he was formed into his head.
                "I am a Champion of Justice and Defender against Evil. I am Sailor Moon!" The boy yelled and pointed at the yoma. The monster just smirked and sent vines at the young boy. Sailor Moon jumped out of the way and flipped in the air, landing on his feet just a few feet in front of the yoma. The yoma was waiting for a move just like that and kicked the boy in the stomach. Masao sucked in air as he flew backwards, landing on his back, he tried to jump up but vines wrapped around him.
                Masao felt his energy slowly drain away, he saw Luna run up and start to yell, but Masao couldn't hear anything as all sound slowly died out. His eyes slowly closed as he felt colder and colder. Then from nowhere he felt something warm embrace him. He slowly felt his energy flow back into him and he opened his eyes. A tall man was leaning over him, dark brown eyes and jet black hair. "Who?" Sailor Moon said as he looked up into the older man.
                "The name is Sailor Earth, and you’re welcome." Sailor Moon looked around and quickly got to his feet, pushing Sailor Earth away. "Where?" Sailor Earth, understanding and smiling, got to his feet and pointed at the yoma who was lying on the ground, clearly knocked out. Sailor Moon looked at the yoma and then at Sailor Earth really not understanding what had happened.
                "Sailor Moon! You must destroy that yoma! Shout, Moon Twilight Flash!" Luna yelled at Sailor Moon. Nodding in agreement, Sailor Moon held out his hand and gathered silver energy in his palm. Pulling his hand to his chest an arrow of the silver energy formed and he shot it at the yoma who was just getting to its feet. “Moon Twilight Flash!”
                The energy arrow hit the yoma and it screamed as it turned into dust and scattered with the wind. Sailor Moon turned to look at the cat and Sailor Earth, Luna was smiling with a satisfied look and Sailor Earth just shrugged. "Good job newbie." He turned and jumped away before Sailor Moon could say anything. Squinting his eyes Sailor Moon crossed his arms. "Newbie?" He said and turned to go in a huff. "Come on Luna!" Luna watched were Sailor Earth had disappeared. He seemed familiar.

                Floating above the park and watching the entire scene was the girl that had summoned the yoma. She smiled at the outcome of the battle. She had no clue who the two men where but she found them attractive and that made her dark smile widen, she even giggled. The Queen may find this interesting... She thought as she too disappeared in golden flower petals.
