		Marvel/Anime Crossover: One Marvelous Day

	The Xmen and the Sailor Scouts stared at each other
pensively. Problem? What sort of problem?
	Access looked at the worried faces around him.  "It's
not that bad.  Just a minor setback really."
	"What kind of "setback" flatscan?" asked Marrow
testily
	"Don't you remember what I said when I dropped you
guys off here the first time? Every time someone crosses to
one universe and back, they forget having ever been there.
That's what's happened to the other Xmen.  They've forgotten
ever being here and even meeting the Sailor Scouts.
Basically, I have to convince them into going back.  It
shouldn't take too long though. I just thought I'd break up
you guys now and send you back before you started anything
you couldn't finish. Like any plans to get Sailor Moon
back."
	"Access speaks wisely for one so young." stated the
Professor.  "Any plan we were to formulate now would no
doubt be based on our own particular powers.  Planning must
be done by the other Xmen team."
	"Great. So as long as that's settled, maybe I could
borrow someone from the team. Just so they know I'm telling
the truth."
	Professor Xavier concurred and made a suggestion of
his own.
	"Perhaps it would be wise if I were to go with you.
Being a telepath, it would be a simple matter to communicate
to them and help jog their memories."
	"Wellll....that's a good idea, it really is but you
have to keep in mind that their memories can't be jogged."
Or can they? he thought to himself. Every so often he would
meet up with an especially strong willed person who seemed
to remember him.  Maybe their memories could be brought
back.
	"It's worth a shot. Let's go."  He opened a portal and
Professor X entered unflinchingly although some of the
other, less trusting Xmen still might of thought twice
before completely trusting a total stranger.
	Shortly after Professor X left the cats arrived.
Artemis had been sleeping when Venus and Mars left without
telling him and he had found Luna trying to take on
Mastermind herself. She'd actually been doing well
considering. He'd been unable to use any mind tricks on her
since she was a cat and he didn't know his way around her
mind.  He'd disappeared just as Artemis showed up. He and
Luna had found themselves rather far from the action and
were just now getting the gist of what had happened
	Luna looked up pensively at the Dark Crystal. Sailor
Moon in there?
					*****

	Professor X arrived back in his mansion in Salem
Center. Where were the Xmen? He looked out a glass window.
Of course! He had been momentarily disoriented by the
teleport but now he realized that he was in the observatory
above the danger room and there were the rest of the Xmen.
With a simple command he shut down the danger room program
they were using. It would be easier to discuss the matter
without it running. The Xmen looked up in shock. Noone was
supposed to be up there.
	"Professor X!" cried Colossus
	"Yes my students. I come here with a friend you may
not remember. His name is Access."
	"Hate to say it Chuck but your right, we ain't seen
him before. And I don't forget that easy."  said Wolverine
suspiciously
	"That's because when we met, you encountered people
from another universe and when I sent them back you totally
forgot about me."
	"Uhuh." said Shadowcat "Riiight."
	Access looked at Professor X helplessly, this really
wasn't working
	"Allow me Access." said the Professor. Moments later,
the Xmen were hit by a telepathic blast of information which
informed them completely as to what had been happening over
the last few days.
	Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Colossus and Shadowcat
stilled eyed Access askance though.
	Access sighed in exasperation, he had to get him to
trust him enough to let him take them through the portal.
	"Listen, I have to get back soon and get your friends
because they need to return to their universe in 24 hours,
otherwise the two universes will amalgamate and I really
don't want to go through that again."
	Now it was the Professor's turn to look at him oddly,
this was the first he'd heard about that.
	Access noticed this and sighed inwardly to himself,
figures he'd find a way to mess things up.
	The second team looked at each other, they really
didn't have any other explanation for where the rest of the
team had disappeared to. After a whispered conference
though, they looked up to Access and Professor X.
Nightcrawler spoke for them.
	"We are willing to trust you, mein freund, but if you
attempt to betray us...You will be sorry."
	"Don't worry, I won't try anything." Access promised
them.
	He opened his golden portal and seconds later appeared
beside them. 	"You have to go through here." he told
them.
	The Xmen looked at it for a few seconds and the
Shadowcat cautiously stepped through. When she looked
through the other side she recognized what looked to be
Tokyo.  She hopped back through to reassure the others.
	"Don't worry guys, everything checks out."  The men on
the team looked at each other and then filed through, one by
one.
					*****
	They appeared in front of the dark crystal, just
beyond it's forcefield.  Once again though, the teleportees
were left wondering where everyone was. Just as the Xmen
began to look as though they may pounce on Access though, he
was saved by Rogues timely intervention.
	"So y'all finally made it." she said in her southern
drawl
	Behind the Xmen, Access sighed in relief.
	"Yes Rogue, we have returned." said Professor X
	"'Bout time too." snorted Marrow, appearing from the
shadows where the others had been hiding.
	"Yeah, ummmm. I think Xavier filled you guys in on
what was going on right?" asked Access, turning to the newly
arrived Xmen team 2.
	"He telepathed everything that had happened in the
last few days when he was trying to convince us to trust
you."  Colossus assured him
	"And we can prob'ly think of somethin' t'help the
kid." added Wolverine.
	The first Xmen team didn't seem to want to go though.
	They tarried a bit, talking with the others and
helping the new team acquaint themselves with the Sailor
Scouts, the youths whose life they apparently saved, but
whom they didn't even remember.
					*****
	Nightcrawler observed his new allies.  Professor X had
helped in "unlocking" his memories but still, they felt
strange, like memories of memories.
	His attention was most drawn to the young man in a
Tuxedo. He was not part of Kurts memories.
	He was sitting with his back against the wall. His
face was down so that Nightcrawler had difficulty seeing it
but he was definitely troubled. His face was blanched and
when he looked up briefly, Nightcrawler saw the sorrow in
his face and the haunted look of his eyes.
	Nightcrawler motioned to Rogue, standing closest to
him, that he wished to speak to her.
	He smiled as she sidled gracefully up to him. And she
always hated it when Remy flirted with other women. He shook
his head and kept back a chuckle of amusement.
	"What's up sugah?" she asked
"Do you happen know, Rogue, vas ist wrong with the young man
over there? It is rare to find someone looking that
depressed."
	"Well, so far as Ah can tell, looks like the girls
leader, Sailor Moon, was captured by the Brotherhood.  He
was there and tried his best to help her but couldn't. She
was teleported away."
	"Teleported?" asked Nightcrawler, a teleporter
himself.
	"Yes, y'see Elf, were not just dealin' with the
Brotherhood here, we got a new lot o' nasties, callin'
themselves the "Dark Moon Family." We've managed t'indentify
two of 'im and they're pretty powerful.  It's seems though,
that the main advantage they have is that they can make
there own little androids at a whim. Only people who can
really deal with those things are the kids over there."
	"Danke fraulien. That answers pretty much all my
questions."
	"No problem 'Crawler." she began to leave. "Oh and,
ah, Kurt?"
	"Ja?"
	"I thought you might want to know who's in the
Brotherhood."
	"I have a fairly good idea. Why, were there new
additions to the team?"
	"Not quite. Just some old ones."
	"Oh?"
	"Yeah, it looks like this is a team from the past when
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were still criminals."
	Nightcrawler looked at her steadily. He was pretty
sure he knew what was coming "Go on." he said.
	"Mystiques here Nightcrawler. It looks like she's a
past Mystique too.  Just don't know how far into the past."
	Nightcrawler looked up into the sky, not wanting Rogue
to see the turmoil on his face. His mother. The mother who
had abandoned him.
	Well, he'd see what would happen when the time came to
meet face to face.
					*****
	"So Mags'is here huh?" growled Wolverine.  He gave an
almost uncharacteristically sadistic grin.  "Good.  He an' I
have a score to settle."
	"Yes Wolverine." Storm informed him "Sabretooth also.
I would watch out if I were you Wolverine, for two of your
greatest foes are here and prepared to kill you."
	"I wouldn't worry about me 'Ro. I'm the only one's
gonna be doin' any killin' 'round here."
	Storm surreptitiously shook her head. It would do no
good.  Wolverine was the best at what he does and one of the
things he does so well was to be as stubborn as a mule.  She
just hoped he wouldn't do anything to endanger the lives of
the other Xmen.
					*****
	Access finally began to show signs of impatience and
boredom though.  Indeed, despite the one hour allowance he'd
given himself in getting the Xmen, he was cutting it pretty
close.  The No.1 Xmen team had to leave now, before they
caused a crossover.  That was the last thing he wanted to
have to deal with.
	He cleared his throat for attention. "OK folks it's
time to go. I really can't stick around any longer. And
neither can you." he told them pointedly.
	Storm nodded towards Nightcrawler. He was in control
now.  They had finished all the last minute checks possible.
She'd handed over the sole image inducer and double-checked
that he knew where she'd stored the groceries.
	"...And if you need directions to where we were
staying, the Sailor Scout named Sailor Mars will show you
where it is."
	"Ja Storm, I doubt I'll forget after you told me three
times."
	Storm looked at him, slightly abashed.  Then she saw
he was grinning widely and offered up a small, but pleasant
smile herself.
					*****
	Access didn't need to look at a watch to know how much
time they had left, somehow he just knew.  Still, he began
to constantly check it as he became more and more impatient.
	"C'mon, c'mon." he kept muttering to himself.  He
looked up from his watch again and almost did a double take.
The Xmen from the first team were assembled in front of him.
	"We are ready to go now Access." the Professor told
him.
	"Great," he said, while opening the golden portal.
	"OK.  One at a time please."  the Xmen stepped
cautiously through, though with less hesitancy than last
time.
	Soon, he too left, he disappeared completely into his
teleporting portal except for one disembodied hand which
waved goodbye and then he completely disappeared.
	Xmen team No.2 was now on their own.
					*****
	Sailor Moon woke groggily, her head hurting so much
she thought it would burst.
	"Darien?" she'd heard his voice, it was filled with
pain and sorrow.
	Where was she? She stared into the gloom. She was in a
large room, dimly lit.  Then it hit her.  Where she was and
how she'd gotten there. She stood up quickly and then was so
dizzy that she immediately sat down again.
	"I love you." the faint whispering voice, of her
former lover.  "I love you." had it been just a dream?  Just
some warm fuzzy dream to protect her from reality? She was
certain she'd heard it; just as she was swallowed up by the
dark hole, that Hyena, Emerald, had made. "I love you."
	Because he didn't love her. Not anymore. He'd made
that quite clear.  She gave a helpless sob. She was all
alone and no one could help her.  Before it could become a
full-fledged wail though, she stopped herself.
	"No Serena." she told herself "You have to be strong."
Then another thought occurred to her "Great! Now I'm talking
to myself!"
	Her friends would come for her, she knew they would.
And if they didn't...well, she'd just find a way out on her
own!
	And she decided that that was what she was going to
do.  She stood again and was glad that, while she was still
a little shaky, the world wasn't twirling around in front of
her anymore.
	Just as she put her first step towards freedom though,
she was forced to a stop by the leering countenance of Toad
stuck in her face.
	"AHHH!" she screamed and backed up to the wall,
whimpering.
	She choked back another cry as he came over.
	"Who, who are you?" she managed to stutter
	She watched him warily as he approached her.  He
grinned horribly and asked "What would you say I look like?"
	Sailor Moon's expression hardened slightly
	"Hey! I asked you first. Geez you're as annoying as
Sailor Mars."
	Toad was taken aback at this remark. He had thought he
would scare her with his appearance. All he had managed to
do though was annoy her.
	"Well?"
	He covered quickly. Mustering as pompous and self
important a voice as he could he declared:
	"I am Toad of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.   We
are led by the all-powerful Magneto.  And you were just
foolish enough to stand in our way."
	"So what's going to happen to me now?" she asked
glumly
	"That is for Lord Magneto to decide. I am merely one
of his lowly followers."
	He shuffled off leaving Sailor Moon to her own
devices. She wondered why. Weren't they afraid she'd escape?
Well, she thought to herself, cheering slightly, their loss,
my gain. She began to grope around for a door.
					*****
	Wolverine glared up at the Dark Crystal.  Sabretooth
and Magneto.
	"This oughta be a blast." He thought to himself
	He turned his attention back to the group of kids in
front of him. They all looked slightly distraught.
	Especially the young man who was skirting the edges.
Tuxedo Mask? Remembering memories was kind of new to him.
	He turned his attention to Nightcrawler.  He was still
thinking as to how to get past the forcefield.
	"I could try phasing through." suggested Shadowcat.
Before she could be stopped she turned intangible and
attempted to walk through.
	There was an awful sound like that of an electric
fences but a hundred times louder.
	"Kitty!" shouted Colossus.  He took a running dive,
knocking her away from the forcefield.
	She shakily stood "I'm alright, I'm alright." she
reassured them. "I didn't expect them to have anything like
that." she stared up in awe at the Crystal and it's
formidable defense system.  "Wow."
	"Ah Kitty, that forcefield you're "wowing" just about
killed you." Colossus reminded her
	She turned a bit red "Oh, well, yeah, it's going to
take some work getting through that. That's all I'm saying."
	Mercury had her computer out again.  She was carefully
scanning it for weaknesses. Unfortunately, it seemed
completely impregnable.
	"Hmmm." she bit her lip thoughtfully. Then she slapped
her palm against her forehead. "Of course, how stupid of me!
We don't have to go through it! We can just do a Sailor
Teleport!"  then she sagged a bit. "But we need Sailor
Moon."
	The brightened faces of the Sailor Scouts darkened
again but they were in for another quick mood change.
	"You're not the stupid one Sailor Mercury."
Nightcrawler told he "My mutant ability is to teleport. I
really should of thought of this sooner."  indeed, he found
it slightly disturbing that he hadn't.  Had he forgotten how
to be a leader, had he begun to let others think for him?
Wolverine had evidently felt his best friends perturbance.
	"We all screw up sometimes 'Crawler. None 'o the rest
of us thought of it either."
	"True enough mein freund," he turned his attention to
the others "But getting in there is not enough.  We may have
all sorts of dangers to contend with and then there's the
fact that the place will be crawling with members of the
Brotherhood."
	"And the Nemesis family." added Sailor Mars
	"And the Nemesis family. We also have no way of
knowing where they are keeping Sailor Moon and our only
telepath, Professor X, is not with us at the moment. If only
we could reach Access..." He trailed off into deep though.
They needed a strategy and a good one.  They couldn't afford
to be captured, any of them.
	"I think it'd be best if we didn't stand around here
where we're probably being watched." suggested Shadowcat.
	"Good idea, we should try and find that building the
other Xmen were staying in."
	"Just one more second." said Sailor Mercury. She was
still studying the Dark Crystal. "OK, I'm done." she said
and they all moved off, away from the stifling and unnerving
influence of the Dark Crystal.
					*****
	Soon  after Sailor Moon started to search around the
room, she realized she was on longer Sailor Moon. She was
just plain old, and not to mention helpless Serena. Someone
had stolen her brooch.
	Now she was very determined to escape the room, if not
the Dark Crystal. She had to get her locket back.
	She quickly found that the door and cautiously opened
it. Her eyes widened in fright. Apparently, they weren't so
stupid as to leave her unguarded after all.
	The Blob stood, albeit slowly. "Well, well, well.
Attempting a jail break are we? I wouldn't if I were you.
I've been in enough of them to know how to keep you from
gettin' anywheres." he grinned meanly.
	Sailor Moon quickly backed away from him and through
the door. Apparently she wasn't going to get out that way.
					*****
	"Should someone get Rini maybe?" asked Sailor Jupiter
"She'll be getting home from school soon and she might want
to be in on this."
	Artemis jumped from Venus' shoulder to hers. "I don't
think so." he whispered into her ear "Remember, the Dark
Moon family wants Rini, if we take her to the Dark Crystal,
we might as well gift wrap her because it would be just like
handing her over."
	"Gee Artemis, could you be any meaner about it? It was
just a suggestion."
	Wolverine turned in their direction. His super keen
hearing had picked up on something. "Did that cat talk?"
	"No, of course not." Venus hurriedly reassured him
"Talking cats, that's just silly."
	"Then why did you talk to it then?" asked Wolverine
slyly.
	"He likes to pretend to talk so I humor him." Jupiter
told him
	Wolverine still looked rather incredulous though. The
Scouts and cats collectively gulped. Then he gave a sort of
chuckling laugh.
	"Well, rather that cat o' yours can talk or no, I'll
tell you right now that I've seen and heard stranger things
so I wouldn't really worry if I were you."
	The Scouts were still uneasy though. He just shook his
head. He would have laughed too, if it weren't for the
circumstances.
	Indeed, the Scouts were really grim, and the
atmosphere was growing tenser.
	The Scouts and Xmen passed the final few blocks to
their new place of residence in dead silence, no one knowing
how to break it.
	They arrived at last and trudged inside. They gazed
around at the dust covered walls and dark hallways.
	The Scouts and Xmen weren't given much time to survey
their surroundings though.  If they were to get Sailor Moon
out, they had to start planning now. They were all rather
unsettled by the thought of just what they might be doing to
her.
					*****
	At the moment they were trying to drag her, kicking in
bawling, to Prince Diamonds throne.  Quicksilver and his
sister were not having an easy time of it. By the time they
reached the throne room door,  they had both lost their
patience and Serena was just lucky Magneto hadn't sent
Sabretooth to get her because she would have been cut to
ribbons by that time.
	As it was, Pietro, as quick in temper and actions as
he was in running and he almost raised his hand to hit her.
He remembered himself just as quickly though and lowered it.
He did hiss however
	"If you value your life, I suggest you shut up NOW!
I'm not in a good mood, and neither is Magneto!"
	Serena looked around desperately. Whoever this Magneto
guy was, she didn't want to meet him. She tried to stall for
time. She asked the first thing that popped into her mind.
	"Ummm, who is this Magneto guy anyway?"
	Miraculously, the two mutants stopped, the Scarlet
Witch with her hand on the door handle.
	"Lord Magneto is the ruler of the new mutant nation."
Wanda told her "Formerly known as Japan. "He is also the
leader of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants."
	"Us."  finished Quicksilver.
	"Ohhh. and who else is there?" Keep it up Serena, she
whispered to herself. She had no idea what all this time
wasting would get her but maybe she could escape. Somehow.
	Her idle wish was cut short though when Quicksilver
grabbed her again. "We're already late. We can't waste any
more time talking to you."
	With that she was shoved into the room where she
stumbled to a stop in front of two of the most frightening
and powerful men she'd ever met.
					*****
	The Scouts had discussed the plan long and hard and at
last they had an idea.  Just in time too since most had to
go home for supper.
	Jupiter would explain that Serena had decided to stay
at her house for a night. Maybe two.  Of course, no one
wanted to think about what to say to her parents if they
should fail, if they came to late, if they found her dead.
No one was willing to think about that.  A grim optimism
pervaded the room. They weren't going to fail.
	Of course planning out what to say to the parents
didn't take much work.  It was almost routine for the Sailor
Scouts. The real problem had been in deciding who was going
into the Crystal.
	It had been pretty obvious how. The only person who
was going to be getting past that barrier was Nightcrawler
with his power to teleport. Unfortunately, the most he could
take was two people for one trip. He could possibly make one
more trip with one or two people, but he wouldn't be waking
up for a while.
	So who to take. It wasn't like there was a lack of
volunteers.  All the Scouts, the cats and Tuxedo Mask wanted
to go. It was a very, very tough decision.  Not only did
they need a certain type of people inside rescuing her, but
the people outside would need to be able to fend off any
attacks. They had to play this evenhandedly.
	All the Scouts and Xmen realized how fervently Tuxedo
Mask wanted to go, no matter how he tried to seem otherwise.
Unfortunately, that wouldn't be possible. They first off
needed to be able to find her. The only one of them who
could possibly manage something like that would be Sailor
Mercury.  Her computer already had her energy signature
saved in its memory. Of course, she was the only one who
could operate it.
	Second, they chose Kitty.  The plan was to get in,
find Sailor Moon and then have Shadowcat phase her out of
the building as fast as possible.  Nightcrawler and Mercury
would deal with any resistance and then teleport out to meet
her.  If something were to happen to Nightcrawler though,
they were stuck.  So it was decided immediately after that
he would teleport back out.
	Kitty and Sailor Mercury were on their own. And
Mercury had the most dangerous job. She would have to deal
with any of the Brotherhood or Nemesis Family by herself.
	Plans changed again.  Nightcrawler would try to take
one more person and then hope he'd recover in time.  He
should though since he'd been practicing extensively in
endurance teleporting.
	This time they drew straws. Much to the chagrin of the
Scouts, Colossus was chosen.
	So it was decided. At ten o'clock the Scouts and Xmen
would meet in the abandoned apartment building once more and
proceed to the Crystal under cover of darkness.  For the
moment, the Scouts and Xmen would split apart.
					*****
	Tuxedo Mask would not be so easily deterred.  He was
going and no one was going to stop him. As they went their
separate ways, he slunk off into the dark before anyone
would think to watch him.  He would get Sailor Moon out or
die trying.
					*****
	Unbeknownst to Tuxedo Mask though, someone had thought
to watch him.  Wolverine had noticed his behaviour and
decided to tail him.
					*****
	Shadowcat was on cloud nine. Sailor Venus and Sailor
Mars had invited her over to supper at the Temple.
	" Chad and Grandpa are going out to get supplies and
stuff and won't be home for a while. We'll just say you're a
school friend."
	Kitty glowed. She couldn't remember the last time
anyone outside the Xmen had called her friend.
	"Yeah." said Sailor Venus "We want to hear about life
as an Xmen." They had decided that they could definitely
trust them so far as the identity thing went. Jupiter had
already told them about meeting up with Storm earlier.
	"That OK with you team leader?" teased Kitty
	"Of course Katchzen. Enjoy yourself."
	"Have fun Kitty."  Colossus told her
	"Oops, I don't have any clothes."
	"That's OK, I've got lots of stuff at my temple.
Jupiter left her jeans there at the last sleep over we had
and you're about the same size."
	"Oh yeah, those jeans. I wondered where they'd gotten
too."
	"We should head back to your apartment Lita." advised
Ami.
	"Yeah, I got some stuff for making Linguini for supper
tonight."
	"Excellent. I love your cooking Lita."
	"Speaking of which, Tovarisch, we should really get
the groceries Storm left us."
	"If they are still there.  Good thing I remembered to
get the Image Inducer from her."
	"Good let's get going.  I'll cook."  Colossus
volunteered
	"Oh good." said Nightcrawler making a face
	"My stew is better than the stuff you make."  joked
Colossus
	"That "stuff" is - What happened to Wolverine?"
	"Oh I'm sure he's around here somewhere." said Kitty
airily "And he's a big boy, he can find his way back."
					*****
	The tension was gone. The plan was great.  They would
get Sailor Moon back, of course they would.  That's what
everyone kept repeating to themselves as they went on their
way.
