*Disclaimer* Sailor Moon and everything and anything having to do with her is strictly the property of Anime. The X-Men though belong to Marvel comics. Everything in this is entirely fictional. I'd also like to add that some of the character descriptions are taken from a Marvel comic. Before going any farther I would like to give a full cast of characters since some Sailor Moon fans may not have heard of the X-men. So here they are, the "people of the Drama."(I'm not wasting time and space on the sailor scouts. You're supposed to know them!) I've also decided that after 2 chapters you've probably gotten pretty used to the X-men by now. I'm taking them out to make room for new characters 'cause, brother, there is gonna be a lot. Access-Axle Asher lived a humdrum life as a student with his girlfriend Ming until he was one day endowed with superpowers by "Morty the bum" (later on he discovered Mort was his future self) his gift was the power to teleport across universes, space and time. Later on he learned he could also amalgamate people, meaning he could take two people and turn them into one and also deamalgamate them. His job is to keep the separate universes separate and to make sure no one crossed over into different universes and to send them back if they did. And now what you've all been waiting for, Marvel/Anime Crossover: One Marvelous Day Chapter Three Just as the X-men and Sailor Scouts finished up their slight skirmish with the FOH, who should come running up but the remainder of their teams, Marrow, Wolverine and Storm and Sailor Moon and Rini. "Looks like we missed out on the fun 'Ro." Said Wolverine as he scanned the battle scene. "So it would seem Logan. My apologies, everyone, for our tardiness. We were somewhat delayed by a small fight between us and several members of the Friends Of Humanity." Storm told the group before her. "Plus, these flatscans here didn't speed things up any." put in Marrow. "Hey, who are all these pretty- pretties?" "Well that's kind of what we want to know, Marrow. Where did you guys find those two?" Asked Shadowcat as she gestured towards Sailor Moon and Rini. Sailor Moon looked from the X-men, to the men in uniform lying on the ground to the Sailor Scouts and back again in confusion. What were they saying? Now she wished she had actually paid attention in English class. The Sailor Scouts noted Rini and Sailor Moon's confusion and quickly walked over to them. Jupiter explained to Sailor Moon, Rini, Mars and Mercury what the X-men were talking about although, with her excellent English, Mercury already had a pretty good idea. But what were flatscans? "Hey Jupiter, since when could you speak English?" Asked Sailor Moon, still pretty confused. "Well ever since that bald guy over there sort of, I don't know psychically, um, showed me how to understand English. It's really neat." " O.K." answered Sailor Moon slowly Venus quickly understood the problem, and called over, "Uh, professor X could you maybe help my friends. They have a little trouble understanding English." "Certainly," the professor answered. Then he told Mars, Moon, Rini and Mercury through telepathy "Prepare yourselves children this may be a bit of a shock." And it was actually. Dizzying almost. And it was weird too. All of a sudden they could speak English. Sailor Moon could here Gambit fussing over a scrape that Rogue had received and Nightcrawler, Colossus and Wolverine bantering about who fought hardest and downed the most badguys. Off to the side Marrow and Shadowcat traded insults back in forth over an argument whose point was long forgotten. Storm, who had been standing with the professor followed the Sailor Scouts gazes sighed and shook her head. A typical day. "Marrow, Shadowcat, I have told you before you must learn to control both your tempers and try to get along." "Sorry Storm." repented Kitty. Marrow just rolled her eyes, though she did cease in her arguing. The professor gave a small smile, then spoke to the scouts. "Communication is easier now, isn't it? Good, let us move out of range of these members of the FOH and discuss how you got here." So they quickly left the scene of their recent battle, with Marrow in the lead.(Since she had lived in the sewers beneath Manhattan most of her life.) She led them back to the tunnel through which the X-men had entered. And none to soon since some members of the Friends of Humanity were already beginning to stir. Then they began to discuss what was to be done with the Sailor Scouts. ***** "Alright Pluto what's up?" " Terrible things Access. The Sailor Scouts have gone missing since the explosion. They may well have been killed by it. The strange rift through time and space could have screwed up the timeline causing the Sailor Scouts to die before they should. Also, it has enabled the Doom Phantom and the Dark Moon family to travel to the past and they have been causing havoc because the Sailor Scouts are not here to control them. There is only Tuxedo Mask and the two cats. That is not nearly enough." "Yeah I see. I wouldn't worry about the Scouts though. A whole lot of people from other universe have been sucked through that strange rift. They just disappear and reappear in different universes. The Sailor Scouts are probably just in the DC universe or something. I'll just bring them back before this whole mess started and that's that." "I am afraid I must disagree Access." "Wha-?" " I sense an outside evil here. Perhaps from these other universes you speak of. Also, the Sailor Scouts, should they be found, can not be taken back to their respective times. It is too late for that." "Oh no." "Oh yes, I am afraid so Access. We have traveled so long and so far from the old timeline that we have switched timelines. In this one Small Lady and the Sailor Soldiers die on Rubeus' UFO and the Dark Moon Family take over the Earth and it and the universe are eventually destroyed by the Doom Phantom. An alternate reality has become reality." "Shit." "Our only hope is to find and bring back the Sailor Scouts and hopefully prevent the success of the Dark Moon Dynasty. Only then will we return close enough to the correct timeline that you will be able to teleport them back to the point they leave the spaceship and return them safely to Earth." "Um. Actually Pluto there is really no correct reality or timeline," corrected Access." Even if we deal with this and send the Dark Moon Family back to the future so Sailor Moon can fight them again, time is totally messed. It could screw things up for centuries to come." "I hope that was not meant to helpful for it was not." Said Sailor Pluto testily. "Well. Ok. This has actually happened before in the Marvel Universe when Apocalypse struck before the X-men were formed. But I managed to correct things for the most part. I can do it again." "But you see Access, though they could probably handle the Doom Phantom even under these different circumstances it is not just that. Here, let me show you the new evil which I have sensed." And with a wave of her staff, Sailor Pluto created a clearing in the clouds through which Access could see the "new evil" which had entered the Anime Universe. "Great. Just great." He said. This was just what he needed. No way could the Sailor Scouts deal with these guys. Well, not on top of everything else anyway. The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Beautiful. Then he noticed a man in red and purple in the lead. He was leading them across the top of a building where the Dark Moon Family (consisting of Emerald, Sapphire, Diamond and, skulking in the corners, Wiseman,) for some sort of meeting probably. S#@t. It was Magneto. This just kept getting better. And he doubted he could make a bunch of human haters just waltz through his portal for him. Where were the X-men when you needed them? Duh. He laughed at his own stupidity. Just a portal away. All he had to do was find and bring the Sailor Scouts back to this universe and sic them on the Dark Moon Family. Then he could just round up the X-men and... "Ah D@#n!" He ejaculated. Pluto, who had been watching him pensively, raised an eyebrow. "Well? Do you know them?" "Yeah, they're uh, Magneto and the Brotherhood. They're real bad news." "Can they be stopped?" "Yeah, but..." "Access?" "Well, the guys who can stop them, well, first off I don't know if they'll agree to helping and second of all they really can't stay, if you know what I mean." "There must be some solution." said Sailor Pluto thoughtfully "Yeah. There must be." echoed Access as relapsed into silence He considered the problem. If the X-men stayed in the Anime universe for more than 24 hours they could cause the Anime and Marvel universes to amalgamate, which means that the two universes would collide and the universes and everyone in it would become one. So he would have to leave the X-men in their universe to prevent it. So instead Magneto and the Alcolytes would team up with The Dark Moon Family and they would probably take over the world with or without the Sailor Scouts here. That meant, in essence, that the Anime universe would change so that the dark moon family took over and the Doom Phantom would get loose and destroy first the earth then the Anime universe. And he probably would then manage to gain access to the other universes and probably destroy them. Or, he could bring the X-men over and have the universes amalgamate and eventually destruct. Great. Death and destruction either way. And then there was the fact that sooner or later the Brotherhood would eventually cause the same amalgamation problem. And even having the X-men over for 24 hours probably wouldn't help any. This could take weeks. He next considered placing the X-men in the Anime universe for 24 hours an then taking them out again. That might work but there was a small problem. As a safety measure, anyone who crossed over to another universe would immediately forget meeting Access or visiting that other universe once they were returned. Of course! He could divide the X-men into two teams! Each one could remain in the Anime universe for 24 hours and help out the Sailor Scouts and then they could return to the Marvel Universe after explaining to the replacement team what was going on. That is, if the X-men consented to helping the Scouts at all. But they had to help! They were the X-men for goodness sake! O.K. so what he was going to ask them to do didn't exactly fall under the category of "helping to bridge the ever-widening gap between mutants and humanity" but they were superheroes! They'd do it. They had to. So much was at stake. Maybe even the Marvel Universe if the Doom Phantom became master of the dimensions. All the while that he had been thinking he had been pacing back and forth, stirring up the mist while Pluto watched him anxiously. "Can it be done?" she queried "Yeah, I think so." Access answered slowly. "Then go Access, to seek the help of these X-men for things here grow ever worse." "I'm gone." And he departed. "Godspeed Access, Godspeed." murmured Pluto as he disappeared into the glowing rectangle. ***** Access opened his mind, letting the fabric of time and space flow through it. He could feel the rupture in the Anime universe already. The universe was slowly tearing apart. Probably caused by Dark Crystal's destructive energy. But he couldn't dwell on that. He had to locate the scouts. Where were they? His brow furrowed. Marvel universe 1999. He was there. There they were. In the sewers of Manhattan, and as he stepped out of the portal, he saw the X-men. What luck! They were all talking together quite animatedly but as if on cue they all stopped and turned to look at him. "Uh hi, I'm Access. You probably don't know me but- " "No, we don't, flatscan." Interrupted Marrow. "Hush Marrow." reprimanded Storm "I-I feel as though I know him." "Uh, yeah, well, maybe, but anyway like I said, I'm Access and, uh you may have noticed that the Sailor Scouts aren't from around here. They're from Tokyo, Japan but not the Tokyo, Japan of this universe. They're actually from another universe, adjacent to your own. Not your twin universe, that's the DC universe. Anyway they were teleporting from this huge spaceship owned by this guy named, um, Rubeus, (who of course you don't know) and, uh, and, uh, um...-" Under the steady, disbelieving, and downright unfriendly gaze of the X-men Access' voice began to fail him. He faltered, he began to stutter and he started to sweat. A lot. "Adjacent universes? Mac you gotta be kiddin'" said Wolverine incredulously. "Perhaps, Herr Professor, it would be wise to psychically scan this man to see if he is telling the truth." suggested Nightcrawler. "An excellent idea, Nightcrawler." the professor turned to Access and addressed him. "Continue with your story Access, while I see if you are telling the truth. "Well, as I was saying, the Sailor Scouts teleported off the spaceship and then it exploded while they were teleporting, making a tear in the fabric of time and space and throwing the Sailor Scouts off and sending them here." While Access paused for breath Colossus asked: "Well Professor?" "He speaks the truth but the truth is in the eye of the beholder. He may well be insane." "Insane!" Exclaimed Access indignantly. "Actually, up to here he's been telling exactly what happened to us. I believe him." put in Sailor Moon. "It's true, Except for the time and space thing. I don't know about that." "So dat 'appened t'you in Japan. Y'don't need t'go to a "alternate universe" fo' dat." scoffed Gambit. "Kids." he said, shaking his head. Sailor Moon heard him and turned a little red. Mars was about to respond with an insult of her own when Mercury, seeing this would only lead to a verbal battle, interrupted with an argument of her own in Access' favour. She quietly cleared her throat to get attention. Then she said softly "Actually, I believe he is right. I mean, none of us have ever heard of each other before, correct? "Yeah," interrupted Jupiter," and were pretty famous back where we came from. Oops! Go ahead Mercury." "Also, the environment and atmosphere are different. There's more pollution and also the magnetosphere is slightly ruptured." Mercury paused to think. She would something more solid then that to support Access. Her own observations that she made with her computer could easily be argued away. She would need more data. Especially about this time/space tear. But how, of course! Sailor Mercury immediately began to punch figures into her computer. Since she was busy doing that she almost didn't hear Kitty Pryde begin to, as predicted by Mercury, argue her own case against Access, who was still standing awkwardly on the fringe of the group. "You may be right, um, Sailor Mercury is it? But the fact that you're famous in Japan doesn't necessarily make you famous here and the reason there's more pollution is because, well, this is New York." Sailor Mercury made no response. She was still busy typing things into the computer. Access knew he was in trouble. He needed, not only to enlist the X-men's help, but also to get the Sailor Scouts back to their universe at least. But that wasn't going to happen if no one believed him. They had to trust him enough to go through his portal. And the fact that they were stepping into the unknown had unnerved the bravest of heroes. "Wait! I have it! He's telling the truth." Exclaimed Sailor Mercury excitedly. Mercury turned to the professor, the only one who would be the most likely to understand her. "Look, there really is a time/space tear. You can see it illustrated here in blue on my computer. It may remind you of a wormhole but the strength and stability of it denote something else. Also, you can see the threads of your universe on this end mixing with an unknown , oh how do I put it, matter not related to your universe. In fact, a quick scan show the material that's mixing in with your universe clinging to the bodies of we the Sailor Scouts and Rini." "This is crock. " Scoffed Marrow. "To the contrary, Marrow, Mercury here is telling the truth." Said Shadowcat, who had been peering over the professor's shoulder for some time now. " It would explain a few things." Added Venus. "See? I'm telling the truth! And now that that's out of the way I've got something to ask of you X-men." Access broke off for a second. In the background he heard Marrow sigh. "I need the help of you guys too." " I knew it." muttered Marrow. "See, when the Sailor Scouts were teleported here they switched with someone. Well more like a group of someones. You know them already. They're the Alcolytes, led by Magneto. The Sailor Scouts will already have their hands tied dealing with Emerald and the rest of the dark moon family so I was wondering if you guys could maybe stop the Alcolytes before they did any serious damage. So, will you guys help?" "Magneto huh? " Then I'm there yesterday. I've got a major score to settle with him." Wolverine could still remember the horribly painful feeling of having Magneto magnetically strip his bones clean of their admantium. "He's a dead man." "Score settling aside, Wolverine mein freund, it is our duty to help these Sailor Scouts." "You said it fuzzy elf." Agreed Shadowcat "And I am willing to help as well." said Colossus "I believe the same goes for the rest of us as well. With of course, Professor X's permission." "You have it of course X-men. Sailor Scouts we are prepared to fight alongside you and aid you in defending your universe." "That's great. Now to get to the Anime universe, you have to walk through this portal here." And with a wave of his hand the glowing portal appeared. No one looked especially keen on entering the portal first. Both Sailor Scouts and X-men eyed it nervously. Finally, Sailor Jupiter stepped up to it and put her hand through. She felt a tingling sensation and pulled it back out in surprise. "Well my hand's still here." "It's safe! You have my word! I'd use it myself but once I go through the portal would close and you would forget I was even here." Sailor Jupiter was still standing in front of the portal. Then she took a deep breath, as though she were diving into water, and stepped in. Immediately she returned. "It's OK guys! You can see Tokyo from here!" And with that the tension regarding the portal was gone and they all filed through, Access bringing up the rear. ***** Sailor Moon looked around. Nothing seemed to have changed. Except for those odd clouds. She stared at them. There was definitely something evil... like the clouds that had surrounded Rubeus' spaceship. "Wake up Sailor Moon! Access is talking here!" Hissed Mars "Yes mother!" "I am not your-" "Guys," said Venus "Everyone's staring!" "Oops." said Mars "Sorry." Sailor Moon turned to glare at the giggling Rini. "As I was saying," continued Access "I though it would be best if I brought you all here at once so you could familiarize yourself with the layout and also so you could choose teams. I thought professor X would be best at that." " Hmmm. Yes. Give me a moment." Professor X looked around who would be best on what team. He had to have them fairly diverse in talent. As professor X considered and weighed his options the X-men took time to look around. Also during this moments pause Sailor Venus took time to ask Access a question that had been bothering all the Sailor Scouts. "Access? I was wondering, if things have changed so much, why doesn't there seem to be any differences." "I know there doesn't seem to be any differences around here but... Damn, I wish there was a TV around here. " I can patch into a local station using my computer." Mercury suggested timidly. "Here we go." "...Evacuation of several thousand who's homes were threatened by the turbulent energies surrounding the mysterious black crystal which had appeared over night along with our new self-proclaimed rulers..." "That sounds pretty grim." stated sailor Mars "Here I'll try another station." "In other news, a man calling himself Magneto has made this declaration... "` I hereby declare Japan as the Mutant Nation and order all humans upon it to leave their homes immediately. You have 24 hours before we begin exterminating each and every one of you human filth! 24 hours to pack up and go or else YOU will learn what the "mutant menace" really means.'" "We'll see about that Magneto." growled Wolverine behind them. "Yipes!" cried Sailor Moon and Rini jumping. "Wow!" Said Jupiter "this is serious." Meanwhile the reporter had gone on. "...Many individuals are panicking and there have been reports of looting. Military aid has been offered by such countries as Canada, the United States and England." The Scouts looked on in horror as they were shown clips of violence, including a few shots of the Brotherhood. Professor X tore them away from the grim spectacle. "I have decided, with the help of Storm which people will go on which teams. The first team will consist of Storm as the field leader, Gambit, Rogue, Marrow and myself. "Great. I'm stuck with baldy." "Ahem. The second team will be made of Nightcrawler as the leader, Shadowcat, Colossus and Wolverine. I also believe it would be best if Storm's team were to go first." "Yeah. You guys on the second team will have to go back to your universe for a while and then I'll go get you. OK?" Not even waiting for an answer Access opened the portal. "Also, I probably won't be back for a while. I have other crossovers to take care of. You guys will have to make the plans by yourself." The second team walked into the portal among many "bye's" and "see you soon's" Then Access walked through himself and the portal closed leaving the first team, in essence, stranded. The No.1 Xmen team and the Sailor Scouts began to make their plans. Dear Sailor Moon and X-men fans: It was so rude of me to assume that Sailor Moon fans had never heard of the X- men as someone politely pointed out. I mean, that was pretty stupid and presumptuous of me. That's why I changed the intro if you might have noticed. Really sorry. It's really cool that there are other people out there who are into the Xmen. ***** About the Author: fuzzy_elf is obsessed with comics but only the ones created or co-created by Marvel. Her favourite comic characters are Nightcrawler and Prince Namor the Submariner. She collects comics but only as a hobby. Her biggest goals in life are to win a no-prize (Hope your listening Stan Lee) Or to either write or edit comics or novels for Marvel (or possibly all of the above.) She likes to think she looks a bit like Sailor Jupiter (or possibly Kitty Pryde on a good hair-day). It would also seem that she has Nightcrawler's power for semi-invisibility since people often forget she's around and she tends to accidentally sneak up on people a lot. She likes watching all the Marvel TV series but especially Spiderman. Joe Kelly rules! Long live Stan Lee! P.S.

Author Note: You may have noticed in Chapters 1 and 2 that I made a lot of mistakes in spelling, grammar, etc. Forgive me. It's my first time writing a novel and I totally forgot to proofread. Like where I accidentally mentioned Darien as being in the first chapter. Ignore that. Also, be on the look out for more authors notes as I write more apologies, trivia you might like to know and basically beg for attention. See ya. Sailor Moon Sailor Moon is really cool even if she does flunk school she moon-dusts bad guys with no prob though sometimes with the occasional sob her hunky boyfriend's really hot and keeps her from getting shot there are four other Sailor Scouts you know the ones I'm talking about one with hair that's really black she gives Serena constant flack another one is really smart she gets top grades in her class for starts Jupiter is so tough she can't beat up the bad guys enough there is one more who was there at the start her own cat stole Lunas' heart but without these Sailor Moon's still great there isn't much you can debate she's toasted bad guys from Beryl to Doom but won't if they don't dub some more shows soon!

Feel free to give me your feedback at fuzzy_elf@hotmail.com, but be nice! (Ti'ana: Yay for fuzzy_elf!
