the entrance of Sailor Jupiter. Please,I need comments. I love to
get reviews from my friend,Darren Schivo,and I would like to hear
comments from you people too. I try hard to write this stuff and
not quit. :)

Cosmic Knight's Story

* Sailor Moon: Magical Boy Epic * [Need A Better Title]

Note: This is an ALTERNATE REALITY story,which sort of is a gender-bender with certain characters of "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon" or,
since I am using the dub NA version,just Sailor Moon. ;) I've also
changed a few things in the plot. Don't worry,in no way have I changed 
the essence of the anime saga to alienate Moonie otaku...I hope!

Second Note: For those of you who are referring me to Chris Jones's 
fanfic,Sailor Moon Reversal,I KNOW ABOUT THE FANFIC! Don't tell me
about it anymore,okay? This story has very few connections to that
work,and if you don't know about the fanfic,go to Chris's site at:
http://cyberwheel.simplenet.com/fanfic and read it!

Disclaimers: In no way do I own any characters in Sailor Moon,nor do
I own any characters that make cheap cameos! While some of the people
are my creation,they still have similar traits to the Sailor Scouts
and friends you know,so I don't own those Scouts or friends. Naoko
and DiC do. Don't worry,I won't try to butcher this job like THEY did.

========================================================================
Episode 14: Jupiter's Thunderous Entrance(or Crystal Games)
========================================================================

Queen Beryl opened the chambers to the great chamber of the Negaforce.
The place was designed as a shrine to the Negaverse's debased god.
The evil queen knelt before the bulbous cocoon which oozed with ichor.
A ball of life energy appeared in her hands.

"Master Negaforce," said Queen Beryl. "Awaken. We offer this bounty
of precious life energy to you." The energy filled the cocoon and a
vaporous form appeared in the center.

"Ahhh..." it hissed. "I have been expecting you. Tell me your report
on the Silver Moon Crystal. I must have that crystal!"

"We are looking,master," said Beryl. "But those Sailor Scouts get in
the way. I am worried that they may get the crystal first."

"Sailor Scouts..." hissed the Negaforce. "It was their fault I was
buried like this,sealed away so long ago. Now they are back! But
why are they men? No matter...don't you let them stop me! And don't
you let the heir of the Moon Kingdom awaken!"

"Get them...and get the Crystal. With it,we will rule this world."

~~~+~~~

Seth ran at a fast pace. He was late to school again! "Oh no,I'm
late..." he moaned,seconds before smashing into a person. "Oops!"

"Hey!" said the big brute. "Watch where you are going!"

"Sorry," said Seth,backing up in fear as two bigger brutes came up.

"Well duh," said the second brute. "Apology NOT accepted,dweeb!"

"Yeah," said the third brute. "Pay up your lunch money!"

"I don't have lunch money!" begged Seth.

"Hey you!" said a soft feminine voice. Seth turned around and saw a tall 
shadowy figure who looked,at first light,like a girl.

~Lotus Mask?~ thought Seth,but the light shone and it showed a girl...
no...more like a bishounen boy with a small ponytailand green eyes. If
you have watched Pok�mon,think of a tall Misty for this guy.

"I suggest you leave that boy alone," said the man. "If you don't want
to have several hundred broken bones."

"Ha ha," laughed one of the brutes. He sauntered over. "And you think
you look like like some pretty boy,eh?"

"Tough life,ain't it?" said the boy,who grabbed the man's arm and hurled
him - the brute was six times this boy's weight and he was hurled! - to
the others,who dodged the human missile.

"KAAAAAH!!" cried the second brute,swinging nunchucks,but the boy got
them in his hand and spun him about into the wall.

"Now..." said the boy,lifting up the third brute. "Care to reconsider?"

"I AM SORRY!!!!" cried the brute,who tore free and ran off.

"Bastards," muttered the boy. He turned to Seth. "You okay,kid?"

"S-S-Sure," said Seth in awe. ~Whoa,he may be effeminate,but I really
doubt that anyone would want to say that to his face.~

"Well,take care," he said,winking as he left. Seth saw a beautiful
crystal rose earring in his left ear.

"Pretty," Seth remarked.

~~~+~~~

Queen Beryl summoned her two remaining warriors,Zoisite and Malachite.
The silver-haired lady and blonde-haired man with a ponytail appeared.
"Give me your report," Beryl ordered. "Have you found the crystal?"

"We have," said Malachite,bowing. "It took all my research,but I know
where it is." She took a deep breath before she began her explanation.
"When the Silver Moon Crystal was used,it shattered into six pieces.
Each piece fell to Earth and was embedded into a human being. These
humans passed the crystal to their children,and grandchildren. Thus,
by this time,six humans have the gems in their bodies."

"You seem excited,Malachite," said Beryl.

"Why not?" asked Malachite eagerly. "Remember the Shadows?"

"Yes,our six strongest warriors," said Beryl. "But Serenity killed them 
with the power of the Silver Moon Crystal."

"That is not true. She didn't kill them,but sealed each of them away
into the rainbow crystal shards of the Silver Moon Crystal. Therefore,
each of these warriors is locked in the six humans as well. If we get
the crystal and remove it from the human,the magic of the crystal will
be gone and then the Shadow will awaken and take over the human. Not
only will we revive a powerful super-warrior,the Scouts will not harm
the human that was taken over when they find out." She giggled.

"Ah,excellent!" laughed Beryl. "Then we can get rid of those boys.
But how will we get the crystals,if they are locked in huamns?"

"With this,my queen," said Zoisite,making a black gem appear on his
palm. "This crystal was summoned by my colleague,Nephlite,with her
star magic. Even though she is indisposed,her gem will aid us. I
modified it to locate and extract the Rainbow Crystals."

"Perfect," said Beryl. "Get started in the search at once. Once we
have the six crystals,we can ruin the world and defeat the Scouts."

Zoisite nodded and raised the gem. "Crystal of the stars! Show me
the location of a Rainbow Crystal!" A beam of light shot from the
crystal and showed an image of a girl. "This is my first target."

~~~+~~~

"What a lousy day," muttered Seth. "I forgot my lunch,then I end up
late to school again..." He then saw the boy who rescued him. "Hey,
it's that strange girlie guy I met earlier."

"Hey!" said Melody,scaring the wits out of Seth.

"MEL!!" screamed Seth. "Don't do that!"

"Sorry,I just HAD to warn you about Linus Glenn," said Melody.

"Linus? Is that the guy's name?" asked Seth.

"Yep,and he's a psychotic maniac!" whispered Melody. "He got kicked out
of school for fighting several times,and we're all staying far away from
him. You should..." She freaked as she saw Seth walking up to Linus.
"WHAT...ARE...YOU...DOING?!!?" she squealed.

As soon as Seth came up and cleared his throat,Linus turned and threw
a fist,but stopped a few inches from Seth's face. "Oops,sorry," he
said,dropping his hand. "I tend to do that. Heh heh."

"Hey,it's natural," teased Seth. He had almost socked Melody in the
jaw for sneaking up on him! "So,you're Linus,eh?"

"Yep,that's me," said the boy. "And you are that boy I saved."

"Name's Seth Getsuno," said Seth.

"Come on,sit down," said Linus,patting the ground next to him. Seth
obliged. "I'm glad you came,as everyone's avoiding me."

"That's because Melody said that you were kicked out of school for
getting into fights," said Seth. "Is that true?"

"Yeah," sighed Linus. "But I was fighting to protect people!"

Seth then saw the HUGE bento that was on Linus's lap and drooled.
"Ah...Linus...did your mom make that lunch?"

"I'm an orphan," sighed Linus. "Both parents got killed long ago."

"Oh," said Seth. "Sorry."

"Hey,I made these things myself," said Linus. "Here,have a roll."

"You mean it?" asked Seth,all the time watch Melody make faces of
fear and shock. "Sure." He took the roll and ate it. As he swallowed,
he complimented the boy. "Wow,you cook really great!"

"I usually make a lot,but I lost my appetite," said Linus. "Have some
more." He treated Seth to some of his lunch,and Seth was no longer
whining about his own lunch being forgotten.

"Say,I don't mean to impose..." said Seth. "But why are you..."

"Like a girl?" asked Linus. "Mom wanted a girl when I was born,so
she dressed me like a girl for five years. I managed to get back
to boy's clothing,but I feel effeminate. I guess femininity grows
on you after five years." He chuckled. "I'm not gay or such."

"Hey,I know you are not a gay boy," chuckled Seth. "Being a pretty
boy doesn't mean you are gay. It means that you have different tastes."

"That Seth..." mumbled Melody under her breath. "Only he would make 
friends with a psychotic pretty boy."

~~~+~~~

Seth and Linus came into the Crown Game Center. "I come here every
day,unless something happens. I love video games,how about you?"

"I don't mind games," said Linus. "The fighting genre's my fave."

Seth sweatdropped,then looked about. "Where's Andrea?"

"Oho,a secret schoolboy crush?" teased Linus. "Does she know?"

"Ah no," said Seth. "I mean,I don't have a crush,she works here..."

Linus had already forgotten Seth and was pounding away at the latest
Sailor V fighting game. Just then,Amos and Ren entered.

"There you are," said Ren. "Where were you? We waited for you at
the shrine for twenty minutes before we came here. We had to STUDY,
remember?" He winked at Seth. "Now come on."

"Oh wait," said Seth. "I want to introduce you to my friend,Linus!"

"Her?" asked Luna.

"Silly,that's a BOY," said Seth. "He's in our school. Cool,huh?"

"F++K!" cried Linus. "That bastard beat me up!" He got up and went
to the three boys who were rubbing their ears from the vile word that
Linus had shouted. "Oh hi. Are you two Seth's friends?"

"I'm Amos Anderson,and this is Ren Hino," said Amo.

"Linus Glenn," said Linus,shaking their hands.

"Seth was supposed to study with us,but he forgot," laughed Ren.

"No way! I was just too occupied," said Seth.

"Yeah right,you and your mother," teased Ren. "You forgot completely."

"Stop picking on me!" pouted Seth.

"You two are really close," teased Linus.

"No way!" shouted the two boys.

"Hey,nice cat you have," said Linus,petting Luna.

"That's my cat,Luna," said Seth. "I think she likes you."

Just then,there was a commotion. The boys turned to see a young girl
with a brown ponytail and a baseball cap. She wore glasses too. She
was at the UFO catcher and managed to get a doll.

"Whoa,who's that?" asked Seth.

Laura came up. "Her name is Joanne,but everyone calls her Game Crane Jo 
because she manages to win the UFO Catcher all the time. She's made a
name for herself as an urban legend! She gives the dolls to poor kids."

"How very nice," said Seth. He didn't see Joanne going at it again. She
placed a hand on the glass case and some magical power made the crane
grab another doll for her bounty. This was weird!

Linus saw Joanne and it was love at first sight. He seemed in a trance.
~She is so beautiful...~ Seth saw this. "She looks like a girl I used
to date..." sighed the tall boy. "I must speak to her."

"Talk about head-over-heels!" said Seth. He followed Linus.

"Hey!" cried Ren. "We have a meeting,REMEMBER?!"

"I'll go after them," volunteered Luna.

~~~+~~~

Joanne walked home,unaware of two prying eyes on her.

~This is my chance,~ thought Zoisite. ~She is all alone.~

"Whoops!" said Joanne as a Sailor V doll fell from the sack. She
went over and picked it up. "You can't escape! You are going to
a nice home where some poor kid is probably without food."

As she looked up,she saw Zoisite. "Huh?" she said.

"Stay right there," said Zoisite,pointing the crystal at her.
It fired a black light into the girl's chest.

"AAAAAAAAAH!!" cried Joanne,dropping the sack as she sobbed
and screamed in pain. A red crystal began to appear.

"HEY YOU!" shouted a voice. Linus appeared.

"Who's this brat?" muttered Zoisite.

"Leave her alone,son of a bitch!" shouted Linus.

Zoisite cursed and stopped the extraction. "Get lost,boy!"

"Not until you SCRAM!!" shouted Linus,fists clenched. He charged
at Zoisite,who dodged his strike. "Give up?"

"Never," said Zoisite. Linus charged again,but Zoisite evaded him.
The bishonuen threw his earring,then kicked Zoisite! "Ouch! You
bastard! You are gonna regret hitting me!"

Seth saw this. ~Oh no,Linus is fighting again!~ He then saw Zoisite.
~He's gonna get killed! Better stop him.~ "MOON PRISM POWER!" Ribbons
of light shot from his locket and surrounded him.

Zoisite heard a whistle and saw Sailor Moon. ~Sh+t! Sailor Moon!~
He teleported away in a flurry of cherry petals.

"Huh?" said Linus. Sailor Moon came up. He turned around. "Sailor..."

"Are you okay,Linus?" asked Seth.

"How did you know my name?" asked Linus suspiciously.

"Ah...Seth said you were in trouble," stated Sailor Moon.

"I'm fine,but that bastard did something to Jo!" He walked up.
"You okay,miss? Did that scum hurt you?"

"Get lost!" shouted Joanne,who was clutching her chest. "I don't
need weird boys like you crawling all over me!" She ran off.

"Hmph," said Seth,crossing his arms. "Rude girl." He then saw
Linus ranning after her. Luna came up.

"Sailor Moon,I suggest you keep close eye on them," said Luna.
"I am feeling strange energy from those two."

"BOTH of them?" asked Seth in shock.

~~~+~~~

Linus caught up with Joanne. "Hey,I'm sorry if I scared you. I just
want to know if you are okay,that's all."

"You sure are persistent," choked Joanne.

"Yep," said Linus,smiling.

"Don't you know not to talk to strangers?" chided the woman.

"But you aren't a stranger," said Linus. "You are Game Crane Jo."

"Okay," said Joanne. "You know me. Who are you?"

"Linus."

Joanne nodded. "So we know each other." She winced in pain. "Go!"

"Huh?" asked Linus. "Why? Are you okay?"

"Just...go..." hissed Joanne,who entered a diner.

Serena came up. "You okay?" asked Seth. "I heard Sailor Moon came
and saved your life from that weird guy."

"Yeah,he's super-cool," said Linus with a smile. "Seth,how would you
talk to a girl? I want to talk to Jo,but I am worried. I don't want to
seem like I am coming on to her,you know?"

"Ah..." said Seth,sweatdropping.

Inside,Joanne was clutching her chest and trying to keep sane. ~What
is happening to me?~ she thought. ~I feel so weird!~ She turned to
Linus. ~Am I in love? Is that why I feel so strange?~

"If you can't help,go home," said Linus. "I'll handle this."

"Why?" asked Seth. He then saw Joanne wiggling a finger at them.
"Hey,Linus! I think she wants to talk to you!"

Linus blushed. "Me? Ah...now? I dunno..."

"Come on!" said Seth,pushing Linus to the door. "This is your chance!"

"Okay,stop pushing!" shouted Linus. He went inside and walked over
to the table Joanne was sitting at. "This seat taken?"

Joanne smiled and shook her head,so Linus sat down. "Thanks for helping
me out back there. I don't understand why anyone would try to hurt me."

"Me neither," said Linus,grinning slyly. "So,how do you do well on that
UFO catcher game? You must have a secret."

Joanne nodded. "You have to promise not to tell a soul."

"Okay," said Linus with a nod.

"Here," said Joanne. She gestured and the ashtray rose up,did a flip,
then landed with a clink. Linus was shocked!

"Whoa!" he said. "Telekinesis! Cool trick."

"I've had that ability since I was born," said Joanne. "I know it is
cheating,so I use my ability for a good cause. I don't tell anyone
because they might think I am a freak or something."

"Hey,I look like a girl and I don't mind if people think I am weird,"
said Linus. "To each his own,okay?" A man came up. "Ah,the waiter.
I would like to have a cherry cheesecake and a cup of tea..."

"AAAAAAAIEEEEEEEE!!" screamed Joanne. Linus saw who the man was.

"YOU!" he said,getting up and staring down Zoisite. "Don't you learn?"

"Get lost,kid," said Zoisite. "This is between me and the girl."
He socked Linus in the jaw,then fired a petal-laden wind to send
the boy crashing right through the window! Joanne ran to the door,
but Seth entered and stopped her progress.

"Okay,Miss Game Wizard!" he snarled. "Did you set up a trap?"

"What are you saying?" babbled Joanne. "I don't know that guy!"

"Yeah right," said Seth. "Then HOW DID HE KNOW YOU WERE HERE?!!"

"I DON'T KNOW!!!!" screamed Joanne,shoving him away and leaving.

"You can't escape,little girl," laughed Zoisite,leaping through the
window. Seth ran over and picked up Linus,who was covered in cuts.

"Did that bastard hurt you?" asked Seth.

"Only a little," said Linus. His eyes flashed in anger. "But I am
going to show him what it means to mess with me!"

~~~+~~~

Joanne ran out of energy and fell to her knees in a park. Zoisite's
laughter was right behind. "Please don't hurt me!" she cried.

"Oh,you won't hurt...much," teased Zoisite. "Soon,you'll become one
of us. Hee hee hee!" He fired from the crystal again.

Linus was watching from the bushes as Joanne sobbed and screamed.
"What is that bastard doing to her?" he thought.

A red crystal appeared and was brought into Zoisite's hand. "It
is done. This is the first crystal."

"Hold it right there!" shouted Sailor Moon. Zoisite turned to him.
"Attacking a girl who gives to the poor is a sin! I am Sailor Moon,
champion of justice,and in the name of the moon,you're punished!"

"Ha ha ha," laughed Zoisite. "It's a pleasure to meet you again,
Sailor Moon. But this time,it's for the sake of the Rainbow Gems.
My purpose is the Silver Moon Crystal." He floated up.

"Hey,what are you doing?" asked Sailor Moon.

"I took the red crystal from your little friend," said Zoisite.
"Now,you'll have to fight her. Pity." He vanished in a flurry
of cherry petals just as Joanne let out a scream and changed
into a robot-Borg girl with steel body-tight armor.

"Oh no,Jo's been made into a monster!" shouted Sailor Moon.

"I'm Game Machine Girl,and it's time to play,big boy," said the
youma. She fired plasma shots from her arm.

"ACK! She's fast!" cried Seth,dodging and leaping. He tripped
and landed on his butt. "Owie! Luna,help me!"

"Game over!" said the youma,readying a shot,but then someone
grabbed her and lifted her up. It was Linus!

"Here comes a new challenger!" he bellowed. Luna gasped as
a green "4" symbol appeared on Linus's brow.

"That's the sign of Jupiter!" yowled the cat as Linus spun
the youma about like a top,then flung her into a bush.

"Ha!" said Linus as the symbol faded. "Ken and Ryu have
nothing on me." He went over to Sailor Moon. "You okay?"

"Sure," said Seth,getting up.

The bush exploded! "Round two,get ready to fight!" said
Game Machine Girl. "Get over here!" She fired a Scorpion-
type spear-line and the spear blossomed into a claw which
grabbed Sailor Moon and bound his arms to his sides. He
was dragged in and punched repeatedly.

"I'm coming,Sailor Moon!" cried Linus,but Luna got underfoor
and tripped him. "What the f++k?" He saw the cat. "Luna?"

"Listen to me," said Luna. "You have to take this wand."
She backflipped and made a green wand appear.

"Whoa,a talking cat!" gasped Linus.

"You are a Sailor Scout,a warrior that protects the world,"
said Luna. "Just like Sailor Moon. Take the wand and say
'Jupiter Power' and you'll get more power."

"Really?" asked Linus. "Cool!" He took the wand and raised
it. "JUPITER POWER!" A bolt of lightning erupted from the
tip of the wand and spiraled around Linus,transforming him
into a Sailor Scout. His outfit had green shorts,a white
shirt with pink suspenders in an 'X'-pattern across his chest
and back,a light green bandanna with a dark green Jupiter
symbol in the center,a green ribbon around his neck,silver
bracelets with emeralds in them,and a pair of green sneakers
and white socks. Sailor Moon was stunned.

~Linus is one of us!~ he thought.

"Ha! Get over here!" said GMG,firing another spear.

"Ah! Watch out!" cried Seth,but his fears were put to
rest as Linus snagged the spear in mid-air and yanked
it,making the youma fall off her feet. He then released
Sailor Moon by forcing open the claw.

"Okay,you android bitch,time to hit the scrap heap!"
shouted Linus. He summoned up his power. "May the storms
come down upon me! JUPITER STORM SPIRAL!"

The symbol on his bandanna flashed and fired a green
bolt of lightning that spiraled about and shot forth
in a wobbly fashion,zapping the youma.

"AAAAAAH! ERROR! ERROR!" screeched the youma.

"Way to go,Sailor Jupiter!" shouted Seth.

"Let's finish off this cyborg," said Jupiter.

"No! You can't!" said Luna. "It's still human!"

The android got up. "You lose,Sailor Scum."

"Not so fast!" shouted Luna. She backfliped again
and made a beautiful golden crescent-headed wand
appear. "Sailor Moon,use this Crescent Moon Wand
to drive the youma out of its host."

"Ah..." said Seth. "That looks like some silly girl toy."

"Just do it," ordered Luna.

Sailor Moon grimaced,took the wand,and spun it about.
"MOON HEALING ACTIVATION!" he yelled. Silver moonbeams
were fired from the cusp of the wand's head.

"REFRESH!!" screamed Game Machine Girl as she changed
back into Joanne,who fainted with a sigh.

"That was cool!" said Linus in awe.

"I dunno," said Seth. "It seems like I am a fairy waving
her wand when I do this. Too girly for me."

"Sailor Jupiter,you will make an excellent addition to
the team," Luna told Linus,who blushed. "Sailor Moon,
guard that wand with your life. As long as you hold it,
you are the leader of the Sailor Scouts. You must use it 
to find the Prince of the Moon."

"Huh?" asked Seth. "You mean this thing? Oh well..."

~~~+~~~

The next day,Linus was at the Sailor V fighting game again.
"Argh! Damnit!" he screamed. "You stupid bitch! I hit you!"

Andrea showed up. "Hey,Seth,who's the cute guy?"

"Oh,this is Linus," said Seth. "Say,Linus,meet Andrea."

Linus turned around...and went into a daze. "Oh man...she
looks so hot. She reminds me of a girl I used to date."

"Hey," said Seth in shock. "I thought you were after Jo."

"Yeah,but this girl's sexier," sighed Linus.

"GET A LIFE!" shouted Seth,getting a huge sweatdrop. "You 
can't have a crush every two seconds!"

~Look who's talking,~ thought Luna.
