SAILOR Q: An American Senshi
Episode 1
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.
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….
Matt: “Now that I’m Sailor Q
and A girl, my life has gone upside down! What..I have to run the mile!! And
what’s the creature doing here!!! Next time on Sailor Q: An American Senshi,
Running Down…I hate Gym!!! In the name of Quinox, I will punish you!!!
