Sailor Moon: In Search of a Star

Title: A Dream

(A huge towering castle sits on a high ledge of a black mountain. Lightning 
crackles and wind whips fiercely across the peak. At the gate stands two 
monstrous guards both twice the size of normal humans. They are covered in a 
gleaming black armor and they both hold giant axes. In the throne room of the 
dark castle sits a man. He is wearing a blue army uniform covered in a dark blue 
cloak. On his neck is a golden chain with a mysterious jewel hanging from it. At 
his side is a long sword that emits a blue glow. The man is relatively tall and 
has long black hair with pale blue eyes. In front of him is a holoscreen of the 
planet Earth. He is studying it intently. This is Emperor Jerlp Heryko of the 
Negaverse.)

Jerlp (a deep English voice): Earth...the sole thing the Negaverse Army wishes 
to posses. For it's energy, resources, and evil potential. Since Beryl is now 
deceased I hold the throne. I, Emperor Jerlp Heryko of the Negaverse will have 
what is rightfully due to me...the Earth, but I first must rid it of the 
presence of those pesky Sailor Scouts. Dark Leader Kinet!

(There is a brilliant flash of light and a man appears kneeling before Jerlp. 
This is Kinet. He is a broad shouldered man who wears a sword at his side but it 
does not glow as Jerlp's does. He is of medium height and has light brown hair 
and almond brown eyes. His hair is tied back in a pony-tail but some bangs hang 
in his face. He also wears a light blue army uniform. On his neck is a long scar 
that goes from his jaw to the collarbone.) 

Kinet (a deep and raspy Australian voice): Yes, my lord.

Jerlp: Rise, my friend.

(Kinet rises.)

Jerlp: Tell me, Adio, have you devised a plan to eliminate the Sailor Scouts and 
gather energy quickly?

Kinet: Yes, my lord.

Jerlp: Proceed.

Kinet: My investigation of Earth has proved quite successful. There is actually 
a way to gather energy quicker and in greater amounts than how we normally 
capture it. The humans release great amounts of energy in their bodies at times 
of progressing work, so, if we execute this plan correctly we will gather 
enormous amounts of energy. As for the Sailor Scouts, one of my agents has a 
special surprise for them.

Jerlp: Good, who is this agent?

Kinet: His name is Myre. He recruited after the fall of Beryl and quickly 
progressed to General. Not much is known about his past, but his abilities are 
exceptional, and he is nearly equal to myself. There couldn't be a better man 
for the mission.

Jerlp: Hmm, I would like to meet this General Myre. 

Kinet: As you wish.

(Kinet then pulls out a radio and starts talking.)

Kinet: He should be arriving here momentarily.

(A circular black portal appears, and Myre steps out. The man is extremely tall 
and well muscled. He is donned in scaly black armor and his helmet is sculpted 
as the head of a dragon. His face and features are obscured by the armor. A 
rippling black cloak covers him and on his back is a giant broadsword that glows 
a deep blue. His fists are gauntleted and numerous weapons like battle axes, 
maces, daggers and shortswords are strapped onto belts or boots or basically any 
other place that will hold a weapon, the underside of the cloak probably holding 
more than what meets the eye.)

Jerlp: Impressive. General, would you mind showing me some of your abilities.

Myre (emotionless and deep enough to make walls shake): Yes.

Kinet (motioning to two guards): Guards. 

(Two guards then come in carrying a wooden dummy. They set it down and leave to 
their posts.)

Kinet: When you are ready.

(Myre leaps into the air and disappears. A moment passes before he reappears 
behind the dummy and in a lightning quick movement slashes off the head and 
severs the body in two. But before the pieces fall to the floor, he flings 
forward his free hand and while letting loose a deep guttural cry, the pieces 
explode leaving a shower of woodchips.)

Jerlp: Very good. Myre, you are to go to Earth, with a detachment of troops, to 
eradicate the Sailor Scouts and gather as much energy as possible. Do-not-fail 
me. Understood? 

Myre: Yes.

Jerlp: But, before you go General, I would like to ask you where you got that 
sword.

Myre: I was in a duel with a man and acquired it from him afterwards.....if you 
know what I mean.

Jerlp: Yes, I understand, but are all the weapons necessary?

Myre: I would not wear them if I thought otherwise.

Jerlp: Very well, proceed.

(Myre then steps into his black portal and disappears.)

Kinet: He defeated a Master? And to think that he acquired it before he came 
here for training. 

Jerlp: Do not worry friend he can be dealt with if anything...unfortunate 
happens. 

(On the planet Earth we can see Serena and Amy at their school. They sit 
chatting under a tree during lunch. Lita is no where to be seen. They all look 
up and sigh at the same time.)

Serena: Finally, a free period at last! Oh, I just hope that I got at least a 
passing grade on that Geometry test! I can't stand another speech from my 
mother.......(silenty to herself) again.

Amy: I know what you mean, Mr. Kisari was pretty strict on that test.

Serena: Yeah...hey, I wonder where Lita has gone off to? 

(KAPOW!!! A punch is heard across the grounds. The three girls get up and rush 
over to where a circle has formed around Lita and a boy. Assuming the boy was 
her current boyfriend, well not anymore....)

Bystander 1: Hey! A fight!

Bystander 2: Alright!

Lita (enraged): You, stupid, low-life...

(KAPOW!!)

Boy: Alright, Lita, if that's the way you want it then........

(Lita kicks the boy in the gut, as he rises, and he falls over clutching his 
stomach. Schoolmates move out of the way as Lita walks out of the circle.)

Lita (throwing hands in air): Oh, I just can't find a good one these days. Boys 
are just like ideas, in order to get a good one you have to steal it.

(Lita sees the girls and joins them.)

Serena: Wow, I've never seen anyone take such a beating.

Amy: Yeah, I'd hate to be that guy. What was his name again, Lita?

Lita: Doesn't matter.....

Serena: Oh, I recognize him now. Didn't he blow up the chemistry lab several 
months ago? And didn't you have a little something to do with that....incident?

Lita: DOESN'T MATTER!!!!

(BARRING! The students file into the school and head to class. Later that day, 
we see the hallways and then....BARRING!....students come pouring out of the 
rooms and rush out of the school after the last period. When all of the girls 
meet at the local park, they sit down to talk. It is a nice, sunny day, the 
birds are chirping, and people are about, but there are still some puddles from 
a rainstorm.)

Raye: Have you noticed that it has been a couple months since an attack from 
some evil source? 

Amy: Yeah, it has been a long time since a fight. Let's enjoy our moments of 
peace while we can.

Mina: Yeah, we need some time to relax for once.

Serena: Maybe I should use this spare time to catch up on my
studies....nah!

Amy: So, Lita, about today....

Lita (rising to her feet): I gotta get home.

Raye: What's the rush?

Lita: I need some time to relax.

Serena: So you broke up with him.

Lita: Yes! 

Serena: You know, Lita, somewhere out there is a boy just for you. Somewhere in 
this small world. It will just take a little patience and maybe even luck
but I'm sure you will find him.

Lita: You're right, Serena. Somewhere in this small world is a guy just for me. 
Hey, I wasn't born for being lonely, I'm going to find someone as soon as I get 
home!

Amy: You don't waste any time do you?

(Lita then walks off. Ten steps later, a biker zooms by her and knocks her off 
balance. She teeters for a moment before she falls into a rather large puddle of 
water. Her face turns beet red with anger as she looks at her soaked clothes. 
She then gets up and darts after the biker.)

Lita: Come back here you idiot!

(The biker speeds up.)

Lita (slowing to a walk): Geez, what a wimp.

(Then on the way to the apartment she notices her clothes.)

Lita: Great, just great! I break up with my boyfriend and now my clothes are 
soaking wet. Well at least I'm on my way to my apartment for a change out of 
these soaking clothes.

(KER-SPLASH! A car passes by and another bucketful of water splashes onto her 
from a nearby puddle.)

Lita (looking at herself):...........

(Not that far away was a construction site that had men and machines all over 
doing all sorts of tasks. A couple of construction workers were pouring asphalt 
into an area to make a new parking lot. Others were setting up metal beams or 
instructing others.)

Foreman: Hey, Jon! Get moving with that cement. And after you're done with that 
I have some other jobs for you!

Jon: Yes, sir!

Foreman: Now move it you sod!

(The foreman throws an apple core from his lunch box and hits Jon in the head. 
In a dark corner of the site a figure clad in black emerges from the shadows, it 
is Myre.)

Myre: Ah, so much energy in these fools. Too bad they won't have a chance to use 
any of it to it's full destructive potential!

(Myre strolls from the shadows and draws his sword from its sheath. The blade is 
inscribed with runes up and down its surface and the blue glow flickers like 
fire. Myre holds the blade before him in both hands and start to chant. Now the 
workers notice him, but before they can escape Myre stabs the sword into the 
ground and they stop in their tracks as if something is holding them down. He 
continues the chant and ever so slowly lines of blue energy drain along the 
ground from the workers and into the sword. 
He then pulls his sword from the ground and sheathes it. The workers collapse to 
the ground. The scene goes back to the park and we see Amy and Serena sitting on 
a bench talking, when suddenly a beep is heard from Amy's mini-computer.)

Amy: I wonder what's happening now.

(She opened it and after punching a couple of keys it revealed that Negaverse 
activity was happening in the city not too far away.)

Amy: Serena, the Negaverse is attacking in the same area where Lita lives.

Serena: Call the other Scouts and tell Lita to check out the situation but to 
keep her distance. Hey, where is Luna and Artemis? I thought that they come at 
times like this. 

(Luna and Artemis then jump onto the scene.)

Luna: Right here. Come on, we don't have much time.

Artemis: The place isn't that far away, let's go.

Serena: Looks like our days of peace are over.

(Meanwhile at the construction site General Myre and his troops are surveying 
the wreckage to see that not an ounce of energy is wasted. Myre was pleased with 
his work so he dispatched a trooper to go tell Kinet.)

Sailor Moon: He's not going anywhere!

(Sailor Moon throws a brick at the messenger and knocks him out cold.)

Myre: Fool! Troops, get her!

(Five troops come running at Sailor Moon with rifles. The other Scouts then 
appear and surprise Myre and his troops.)

Sailor Jupiter (screaming): Jupiter Ball Lightning!

(A pulsing ball of lightning arcs out from Sailor Jupiter and explodes amidst 
the troops, sending them flying. Other troops came firing but the Scouts dove 
out of the way.)

Sailor Venus (screaming): Venus Crescent V!

Sailor Mars (screaming): Mars Fire Ignite!

(The rest of the troops were destroyed by the dual attack. The rest of the 
Scouts appeared with Luna and Artemis.)

Luna: You okay?

Scouts (breathing heavily): Yeah. (pant,pant)

Myre (charging at Scouts with sword out-held): Fools, I may have lost my troops, 
but I am still here.

Tuxedo Mask: Not so fast!

(A rose shoots towards Myre but it harmlessly bounce off his armour.)

Tuxedo Mask (surprised): What the!?

Myre: You will die for your insolence along with the rest of them, if that is 
what you wish, whoever you are.

(Myre flicks his arm at Tuxedo Masks and he is flung backwards into a brick 
wall. Myre then takes his hands and raises them above his head. Bands of solid 
stone come up and lock onto the Scouts' and Tuxedo Mask's legs. He then takes 
his sword and slams it into the ground. The buildings and the ground starts to 
rumble. Huge cracks appear in the ground and fire spouts up in many of these 
cracks. The Scouts desperately struggle to break their bonds but fail.)

Myre: In case you break your bonds I will leave you something to deal with. 
Xombite! Attack! 

(A sizzling fireball, the size of a bus, falls from the sky and crashes in the 
construction site. A huge, burning horse with an armor clad rider forms after 
the impact. The horses shoulders stand at the height of a tall human and giant 
six foot wings arch out from its back. The rider doesn't burn but the flame 
seems to fold away from him. He carries a large black spear.)

Myre: Only a miracle can save you now, Scouts. Goodbye.

(A black portal opens and Myre disappears into it. Xombite charges the Scouts. 
The creature is only yards from the Scouts when time seems to slow to a crawl 
and suddenly stop. Around Xombite, five knight-like figures appear. They all 
wear armor, and carried various weapons. They also wore different colored 
cloaks; one wore red and carried a montrous battle axe and a shield, one wore 
blue and carried a spear, one wore green and carried a broadsword, one wore 
white and carried a bow with several quivers strapped to his back and hips, and 
one wore black an carried two short swords and a shield. Whatever time-spell 
held Xombite shattered and he continued his charge at the Scouts as if nothing 
had happened.)

Green Knight: Not so fast!

(Xombite stopped and whirled to meet him. It broke into a gallop straight 
towards the Green Knight. The Green Knight stood his ground and before Xombite 
got to him the Green Knight leapt high into the air. Before he fell the other 
Knights all attack Xombite, with their swords, spears, bows, and axes. Then the 
Green Knight comes falling from the sky and lands on Xombite, smashing it with 
his sword. There is a giant explosion and bits of fire that once was Xombite 
spray everywhere. The Knights then look at the Scouts and disappear. The Scouts 
realize that their bonds have been broken and that the construction site has 
been returned to its original state except that most of the workers still lie on 
the ground void of energy.)

Sailor Moon: What....happened?

Sailor Mercury: I don't know.

Sailor Mars: Those Knights, whoever they were, saved us.

Sailor Jupiter: But who were they?

Luna: Those Knights....they looked awfully familiar. But I just can't remember 
who they are or where they came from.

Tuxedo Mask: I too, feel a vague familiarity about those Knights.

Artemis:..............

(Kinet and Jerlp appear atop a nearby building overlooking the construction 
site.)

Jerlp: It seems Myre failed us, in one aspect, Kinet. I will excuse him this 
time since he brought us such a large quantity of energy.

(A pause.)

Kinet: Did you recognize the Knights?

Jerlp: Yes.

(The two then disappear into a mysterious dark portal. The air near the Scouts 
wavers and the five Knights appear with their weapons put away in their 
holders.)

Green Knight: We have come to you in this time of dread to help you defeat a 
danger greater than anything you can imagine. I cannot explain to you now the 
consequences of losing to this evil but you must continue to fight despite the 
odds or danger. We will always be there to help you.

(The Knights disappear again.)

Artemis (silently to Luna): They're back, Luna.

Luna: Yes, the wheel has completed it's cycle and we are back where we once 
were.

Sailor Mercury: Well, today has been about as wild a day as they come 
and...um...what's wrong with Jupiter?

Sailor Mars: Uh-oh.

Sailor Jupiter (faraway dreamy look in her eyes): Oh........

Sailor Venus: Oh, great.

Sailor Moon: Somebody help her.........

(We then see Lita in her pajamas standing on the balcony of her apartment. It is 
nighttime out and she gazes into the stars and an image of the Green Knight 
forms in the sky. In another part of the world somewhere a boy sits on a hill at 
night. Only the silhouette is visible. Another silhouette appears.) 

Boy 1: I had this dream, a dream of knights.

Boy 2: Yeah?

Boy 1: Well it's like this, I felt I was summoned up as a knight wearing a green 
cloak and wielding a sword. I fought this strange beast with four other knights. 
I felt that we were there to save someone or a group of people from it. We 
destroyed the beast and rescued the people. The rest is just a blur.

Boy 2: Hmm...interesting dream. You know, nah, I almost had the same dream but I 
was wearing a blue cloak and carrying a spear. But the possibilities of two 
people having the same dream is almost nil.

Boy 1: Yeah, and in the group of people I saw a girl. A brunette with a 
pony-tail who was as beautiful as the sun on a summers day.

Boy 2: Even if you did see this girl and all these people it was just a dream.

Boy 1: Yeah.....a dream.
