Rated PG-13 email: Smerc8@aol.com The Guardians by Guardian Mercury Part II- Identities "Pat, what's for breakfast?" "Spanish omlets and hashbrowns Dave." "Great, have you seen Jason today?" "I'm in the living room, whatcha need?" "You still got my El Hazard cd?" "It's in the room." David comes downstairs from bed. He sits down and starts eating with everybody. "I love Saturday's, so much to do." "Boy, you're in a good mood." "Sure am Jason. Got myself a date." "Here three days and you have a date already. You never surprise me." "Hey, Life is short Pat. Brad, happened you look like hell." Brad picks his head up off the table and looks at everyone. He looks he's been hit by a train. "Huh, did you say something Dave?" "Yeah, you okay?" "I'm fine." Everyone else finishes eating and comment Pat on breakfast. As usual, they're all positive comments. "Great omlet Pat, you never cease to me." "Thanks Shawn." Brad stumbles as he gets up and almost breaks his dish. Shawn sees this and comments on it. "Brad, did you go out drinking last night?" "I'm under age you idiot, what do you think!" "Easy, calm down." "I'm going to the arcade. Be back later." "Oh Brad, before you leave, has anyone found anything weird lately?" "Yeah Dave, I found this yesterday." Shawn, Dave and Pat take out the rings that they found. They're all amazed that everyone has one, then Brad shows them the broach he has. "Wow, you guys all have one too?" "Brad, what's that thing?" "Pat, everybody, I think we have to have a talk with the girls." "Ah, sure Brad. If you think so." "Yeah, let's go." "Why do I get the feeling we're in for a long chat." Everyone is over at Raye's temple. they're all sitting in raye's room explaining everything. When Luna and Artemis are finished, they ask if there are any questions. "Do you all understand?" "So what you're telling us, Luna right, is that we are the guardians of the sailor Scouts?" "That's right Pat." "And you guys are the Sailor Scouts?" "You got it Shawn." "We also have to protect this Moon Princess, who's Serena." "Right Jason." "This is wacked." Amy has her mini-computer out and notices that their is a disturbance downtown. After a short analysis, she relizes that it's another attack. "Ah guys, we have a problem." "What's wrong Amy?" "There's another attack in progress downtown by the arcade Raye." The girls get up and start running toward downtown. The guys are still a little confused until Brad says something. "I, guess we should follow them." "Ah, yeah. let's go." The guys take off after the girls toward downtown. they arrive and the Sailor Scouts are already fighting the youmas. "Well here goes nothing, Moon Guardian Power- "Mars Guardian Power- "Jupiter Guardian Power- "Venus Guardian Power- "Mercury Crystal Power Transform!" The guys all transform and just stand there watching the Scouts. They're all amazed at what is happening. "Wha, what the hell happened?" "What's wrong Guardian Venus?" "Look at this place, it looks like a bomb hit it." "Come on guys." The Sailor Guardians start running toward the Scouts to give them a hand. Guardian Venus sees a creature that is attacking Sailor Moon and throws an attack at it. "Venus Energy Fist!" After the youma's attack is countered, it looks up to see who threw the counter-attack. "What the-?" "We are the one's sworn to to protect the Sailor Scouts and the Princess. You will be punished for your crimes and attacking our friends. We are, The Sailor Guardians!" "About time you showed up." "Give me a break Mars, they wanted nothing to do with this. "Mercury, what have we got?" "Ten of them, in a semi-circle coming this way." "Got a plan yet you two?" "We're working on it Jupiter." Everyone is now fighting in pairs to stand a better chance. The youmas are slowly beginning to be worn down then destroyed. "Mars Flame Ground!" "Mars, Fire, Ignite!" "Jupiter Lightning, Flash!" "Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!" Sailor Moon and Guardian Moon are fighting when a different youma attacks Sailor Moon. neither of them notice it until it's about to hit Sailor Moon. "Sailor Moon, look out!" "Huh?" "Get out of the way!" Guardian moon pushes Sailor Moon out of the way and the attack hits him straight on. It knocks him straight into a fire hydrant. "Guardian Moon!" "Sailor Moon, what's wrong?" "Guardian Moon's been hit." "Is he okay?" "I don't know. Looks like he is." "Wow, what hit me?" Guardian Moon gets up and shakes his head to clear it. his back is in serious pain right now because of hitting the fire hydrant. "Okay, now I'm mad!" "You want some help?" "No Sailor Moon, this guy's mine! Moon Space Sword!" "What's that?" He leaps at the youma that surprised them and knocks it down with one kick to the face. Guardian Moon is now looking over the youma, fire in hi eyes. "Nobody, and I mean nobody tries to blindside my girlfriend! You hear me, nobody!" Guardian Moon stabs the youma in the middle of the chest and it disappears. He goes back over to Sailor Moon and puts his sword away. "You okay Sailor Moon?" "I'm fine, you okay?" "My head and back hurt but, I'll live." "Good, did you really mean what you said?" "Ah, we'll talk later." After all the youmas are destroyed and everyone changes back to their normal selves, they all go for ice cream. All the guys pay for their girlfriend and they all sit down to eat. "So, how'd you guys like that, pretty cool huh?" "Yeah Lita. Especially because I got to fight along side Sailor Mars. Who i also feel is the best looking girl in school." Raye blushes as Shawn puts his arm around her. Pat sits there and then says something. "Ah Shawn, don't say that. e don't need a war to start." "What, did I say something I shouldn't have." Brad laughs at what Pat and Shawn said. under the table both he and Amy are holding hands and talking as everyone is having fun. "Hey Jason, how's your back?" "I'll live, it'll be bruised for a while. Also, does anyone one have some asprin." "Did you mean what you said during the fight to me Jason?" "How do i want to answer that, does this count?" Jason kisses Serena on the lips which totally catches serena off guard. They seperate and Jason looks at Serena, who is slightly blushing. "Well, does that count as an answer." "Ah- yeah." "Okay you two, save it for later. So what do we know about this guy?" "The only thing I've got raye is that he wants the Silver Crystal." "You think so Amy? "Well he mentioned the moon and Queen Serenity." "Brad does have a point guys." They all finish their ice cream and head home. The girls are walking and discussing the events of the day and the guys. "Well, so much for your date with David." "Oh well, I've got plenty of chances Lita, don't worry." "That was the cutest thing I'd ever seen Raye. You and Shawn were feeding each other ice cream." "So, your's and Jason's were gone within five minutes. No wonder he's your guardian/ boyfriend, you eat the same way." "Oh, stop it Raye!" Amy reaches into her pocket and pulls out a bottle asprin. She offers one to Mina and one to Lita. "Asprin anybody?" "I'll take one Amy." "Better give me two." David and Jason are at home in the living room watching tv. They're talking about the day and watching the news. "I have absolutly no energy left. I feel completly drained." "How do you think I feel Dave, you weren't slammed into a fire hydrant. I've already taken two bottles of asprin and my back is still killing me." "Oh yeah, I forgot sorry." "Hey look, we're on TV.." The two of them turn their attention to the TV and watch the news. The story is on the battle earlier today. "How did we concentrate today and not get ourselves killed?" "I don't follow what you're saying Dave. "Well, look at the guys watching us fight in the background. "Now, look at us." "What, we're moving and they aren't." "That's my point." "Where is this going? "You have no imagination." "David, have you ever considered getting help." A month or so has passed and everyone has become emotionally involved to each other. David is oing out with Mina almost everynight, Jason and Serena go out to eat a lot, Brad and Amy study together and have competitions with their grades. Shawn and Raye start teaching each other different froms of martial arts, also raye teaches Shawn about meditation. Pat and Lita start making plans to open their own shop, which is Lita's dream. "I looked into some buildings we may be able to afford. It's only $200 a month." "You sure we can afford that? how big is it?" "The size of the arcade. The building's down by the junior high." "Yeah but how are we going to get that kind of money?" "I have some saved up from my old school job where we used to live." "Really, what did you do?" "I worked in the kitchen, doing a lot of things." "Cool." "Also Lita, we can put scoops and a scale in the store in case people just want condiments." "Like M and M's and that right?" "Yup." "Wow! I can't believe you did all this." "In the kitchen, which will be here with a few mixers. We can put two big ovens here, condiments, chocolate chips etc. in the fridge, along with the dough. And me and Brad will build you a loading dock here." "A oading dock?" "Yeah, so when the cookie dough and other things arrive, we can get it inside faster." "I can't belive you're doing all this for me." "Well, I know you've always wanted to have a resturant, so lets start with this. Besides, you're the better cook of the two of us." Lita blushes and laughs a little bit. Pat puts the plan on the table and takes a sip of his water. He gives her a peck on the cheek. "No I'm not, you're much better then me." "Quit being so modest. You are the best cook Ive ever known. Now, all we need is a name." "I can't think of anything. The Cookie Shop, pat and Lita's Cookies." "I got it Lita. How about Lita's Cookies?" "Nah, I don't think so." "It's perfect though, we'll keep it." "Okay." Lita gives Pat a small grin and gives him a hug. She kisses him as they're embraced. Pat kisses her back and smiles at her. "Come on, I'm cooking tonight Lita, whatcha want for dinner?" "Anything you cook is good to me. Oh, and cookies for dessert." The two of them start laughing and go over to the cabinet. Pat then decides on what he's going to cook. "Okay, we're having spaghetti and swedish meatballs." David arrives at Mina's house and knocks on the door. She lets him in and he gives her the flowers he has for her. She gives him a quick kiss and then goes to finish getting ready. "Oh hi Dave, you're early." "Well, I'm always early. Oh, these are for you." "Thank you, I'll go finish getting ready." A few minutes later, Mina finishes getting ready. See has a spaghetti strap orange dress. David puts down the ad he was looking at that was on the table. Mina has a necklace in her hand that he had bought her a few weeks ago. It was gold with an orange heart at the end with the Venus sign in it. "There you go Mina." "Thanks, I still want to know where you bought this." "I had it made for you. I thought, Sailor Venus, Guardian Venus, good match." "So, what do you want to do tonight?" "Well, we haven't been dancing in a while and I saw this ad her on the table. It's free all night." "Great, let's go then." "Right behind you baby." Mina and David leave and soon arrive at the dance hall. Mina puts her hands around David's neck and he puts his hands around her waist. "You know Mina, I almost forgot how smooth your skin is. "Oh cut it out Dave." "What, I'm serious." The two of them start dancing and quietly start talking to each other. they're laughing at each other and enjoying themselves. "You still have the most gorgeous eyes I've ever seen." "You don't have to say that Dave." Mina giggles a bit and then looks at david. He smiles at her and gives her a hug. "Yes I do. Come on, I'll buy you a soda." "Okay." Mina takes David's arm and they each get a soda. Someone walks up from behind them to say hello. "Hey Dave, Mina." "Huh, oh hi Andrew. How you doing?" "Fine Mina, Dave?" "Just fine thanks. Who's your friend?" Andrew then relizes that David never met Rita. When he finishes his drink he introduces her. "Oh David this is Rita. Rita this is David." "Nice to meet you Rita." "Same, Mina's told me a lot about you." "Really?" "All compliments, don't worry." "Hey, we shold double date sometime." "I'm up for that Dave. I'm sure the girl's won't mind eitther." "Great Andrew, well on with the dancing. Talk to you later." Brad is sitting at his computer at the house. He activates the voice mode that he has just bought and installed. "Well, lets see if this works. Computer, voice mode, password Mercury." "Voice mode activated." "Alright! Computer, is Amy Anderson on line." "Yes." "Patch me through." "Hey Brad, the program works I see." "Yup, cool huh. You can get rid of that email I sent earlier." "Got it. whatcha need anyway?" "I need all your info on both your desk and palm top computers on this Gendo guy." "Okay, it's coming." Amy sends the infomation to Brad that he asked and the two of them keep talking. "Did you get it?" "It's on screen now, thanks Amy." "Well, how'd you do on that physics exam yesterday?" "I got a 98, you?" "Finally, I beat you on an exam. I got a 99." "Good, but don't get used to beating me. I'll get you on the history exam on Wednesday. So what are you looking for" "I'm not really sure yet. If I can try to find a pattern or a clue to where their base is. "Okay, I'll be over in a few minutes, Amy out." A few minutes later there's a knock at the door. Shawn answers the door and lets Amy in. he then tells Brad that she's here. "Oh hi Amy, come on in." "Okay, I'll be there in a second." Brad comes out of the bedroom and meets up with Amy. The two of them grab a drink and go back into the bedroom. Amy gives him a quick peck on the cheek. "You all set to do this?" "Yup, what do you want to do first? "Well, hook up your little computer to mine okay." "Why, you already have all the infomation on it. I just sent it to you." "I know but, the more memory the better." "I see your point." Amy hooks her computer up and they both get started. Amy sits down next to Brad and looks at the monitor of his computer. "Now, I've noticed that there is a pattern to the attacks." "Oh yeah Brad, let's see." "Well, here's a computer image of the city. The attacks since you've started tracing them, have been concentrated in the park." "Hmm, you're right. Wonder why." "That may be where the base is Amy. We just stop them before anything really bad happens. Also, we have three other attacks here, here and here. Now the next attack should be at school." "We have to do something. All those people will be hurt." "Alll we can do Amy is be ready for the attack at all times." The two of them keep looking at the data together, still trying to find out where the base is. "Well, we have part of what we need." "Yeah, better than nothing Brad." "Hey, stay for dinner tonight, it's on me." "You really spoil me, all of you spoil us." "Your point?" "None really. How about a movie later." "I'm game, let's go." The guys, Raye, Lita and Amy all sit down to eat. After pat serves everybody and they all dig in. "So, how was your day Shawn, haven't seen you lately. "I've been over at Raye's temple trailning with her and her Grandpa. let me tell you Pat, that guy is wacked." "Ha, I live with him. If it wasn't for me, he'd have cracked by now." "So where's David?" "He's out dancing with Mina. he'll be gone the whole night. Where's Serena Jason?" "She went out with her family Amy. Great dinner Pat." "Yes, I usually don't eat Italian food but I like." "Thanks Amy." "What were you two doing in the bedroom?" "Brad thinks he's found out where Gendo's base is and where he'll strike next." "Cool but we still don't know what he wants." "Well Pat, everytime we beat him, he looks at Serena, Maybe that means something." As they finish eating Brad goes in the bedroom and puts on a different shirt. He comes back in a few minutes. "All set Amy? "Yup, lets go." "Where you two headed?" "Going to a movie so, don't wait up." "You got it Brad." "Night guys, bye Raye." "Night Amy!" As the two of them put their jackets on and leave, the sky starts clearing. They arrive at the movies and go inside. When the movie ends they walk towards Amy's and run into Mina and David. "Oh, hi you two." "Hey Dave, Mina. How's it going?" Before David answers Brad's question, he gives him a wink. Brad recognizes exactly what he means. "Great, we had a great time. Where are you two going?" "We just went to a movie. Walking Amy home then heading home." "Oh, how was it?" "Pretty good Mina." "What type was it?" "A romantic one Mina." "Well, I know you didn't pick it Amy." "Who says Mina, I thought it would be a good movie so I asked Brad if he wanted to see it and he didn't object." "Well, those type of movies usually aren't your thing Amy." "Well, things change." "Listen, we gotta split, remember we have a meeting tomorrow." "Yup, c-ya tomorrow." "C-ya in a while Dave." Brad and Dave arrive at home. They go inside and David puts a pot of coffee on. They both sit down and take a drink. "So, what do you think we should do?" "About what Brad?" "Those two guys at school." "Oh that, I don't know." David puts down his cup of coffee and thinks for a second. "I guess we'll just have to play it out and keep an eye on them." "Alright David, if you think that's a good idea." The two of them put their cups in the sink. They head into the bedroom and crawl ino their beds. "Don't worry, we'll think of something Brad." "Alright, c-ya in the morning."
