"Shadow of the Moon"



When we left everyone, The girls had just run out on Robyn after meeting each other, leaving her feeling alone and wondering why everyone hates her... Malachite recieved a dark colored crystal, and left the Dark Palace set out to get this new girl...
Now,




~PART I~

[
Robyn carrying her cat, Butterscotch, with a leash and collar, out to the local park]

ROBYN
Butterscotch? Why is it no one ever really wants to be my friend? I mean, at home...
[sigh] I mean, when I lived with Mom... [stops and puts her cat down] I had three friends, maybe..." [bends down and pets Butterscotch] "Sometimes I wonder why I talk to you... I know you'll never talk back." [smiles, and stays bent over]

A VOICE FROM BEHIND
"Serena, watch-"

SERENA
[
trips over Robyn knocking, them both into the grass]

AMY
"Out..."

SERENA
"Sorry, I... Oh! Hi, Robyn!" [
smiles] "I was running away from a fight with Rei... she's always picking on me!" [pouts]

ROBYN
[
giggles] "Well, I'm glad you're ok!" [looks around] ~surprised~ "Butterscotch?!"~worried~ "BUTTERSCOTCH?!" [looks down] "I must have let go of the leash when your hit me... ~hopefully~ Serena, will you help me find her?" [a glint in her eyes]

SERENA
~willingly!~ "Sure... [nervous giggle] after all, I'm the one who spooked her..." [smiles and gets up]

ROBYN
[
gets up too] "But which way did she-" [head turns quickly following a black streak] "What was-"

SERENA
~surprised~ "LUNA!" [runs after the streak]

ROBYN
"SERENA!" [
runs after Serena after grabbing Serena's backpack]

AMY
"Hey! Wait for me!" [
follows the party...]

*~*~*~*~*

[
We are now at the Temple with Bay, Rei, and Mina]

MINA
"So, why did Serena run off again?"

REI
[
huffs] "Amy says it was because she was arguing with me again..." [looks at Bay] "We weren't arguing... she doesn't pay attention when there's a serious problem! It seems like-" [she's cut off by a soft beeping in Mina's pocket]

MINA
[
pulls out her communicator] "Yes?"

BAY
[
smiles] "Probably a fight."

COMMUNICATOR AMY
"Guys, you have to get to the park right away! Serena and Robyn are here and we need help!"

REI
{"I knew that Meatball Head would get herself in trouble..."} ['humphs']

BAY
[
looks strangely at Rei] "Tell her we're on our way, Mina!"

MINA
"Scouts? Or us?" [
still sitting, though the other two girls took off]

COMMUNICATOR AMY
~seriously~ "This is Scout business... Malachite is here."

MINA
"Right!" [
puts communicator away and runs after the other two, yelling] "Guys! WAIT!"

BAY AND REI
"WHAT?!"
~angrily~

MINA
[
stops] ~shocked~ "Uh, Amy said that this was Scout business!"

BAY AND REI
[
teardrop effect] "Oh, sorry, Mina..." [smiles] [Mina and Rei pull out their pens and Bay pulls out her locket]

MINA
[
holds up pen] "Venus Power"

REI
[
holds up pen] "Mars Power!"

BAY
[
holds up locket] "Sun Power!"

[
The 3 transform and run off to the park]


~Part II~


|a few minutes before Amy called...|

SERENA
[
running after Luna] "Luna!" [stops] [huff] [puff] "LUNA! I CAN'T RUN ANYMORE!!! PLEASE STOP!" [slides down a tree trunk, still huffing and puffing]

ROBYN
[
stops for a minute] "Serena!" [looks ahead and back at her] "I'm going on ahead. Catch up when you catch your breath!" [takes off again]

AMY
[
finally catching up] "Serena! ~matter-of-factly~ I told you you shouldn't have had that triple fudge sundae before you went to find Robyn." [smirks a little] "Speaking of which... [looks around] ~confused~ where is she?!"

SERENA
[
points in the direction they were running in a moment ago] ~huffing and puffing~ "went -- on -- ahead to -- catch cats..." [breathes deep ... in and out] "Amy, I-"

GIRL'S VOICE
[
SCREAMS] "NO!"

SERENA AND AMY
[
look at each other] "That's Robyn!" [Serena gets up and... jogs... after Amy, toward the scream]
[They stop behind a few bushes and peek out from behind one
]

SERENA
~surprised whisper~ "Malachite!"

AMY
"I'll contact the other Scouts!" [
pulls out communicator]

SERENA
{"I've gotta do something!"} ~whispered~ "Moon Prism POWER!" [transforms and jumps out to shield Robyn] "I am Sailor Moon, Champion of Justice! I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And that's you, Malachite!" [in the usual 'Moon Stance']

ROBYN
{~confused~ "Goofy... but effective... I think..."} [stares at Sailor Moon still clutching Serena's backpack] [stands up]

MALACHITE
"You are nothing, Sailor Moon! I am not here for YOU!" [
throws a black ball of light at her, but she dodges] "You anger the Negaverse, Sailor Moon!"

SAILOR MOON
"And you anger the Sailor Scouts, Malachite!" [
serious face]

SAILOR MERCURY
[
jumps in beside Moon] "I am Sailor Mercury! On behalf of Mercury, I will punish you!" [another serious face]

ROBYN
{"Now there's 2 of 'em?!"} [looks toward the path] {"Any more?!"}

MALACHITE
[
smirks] "I'll show you, Sailor Scouts!" [puts his hands above his head and that blackish purple crystal appears] "Powers of the Negaverse! Do as you are told! Transform!" [Aims the black beam towards the scouts and Robyn]

THE THREE GIRLS
[
staring in confusion] [the Scouts dodge out of the way in time. Robyn would have been hit, but a small animal hit her hard and knocked her out of the way.] [rolls over, sits up, and screams] ~shocked and frightened~ "BUTTERSCOTCH! NOOO!" [has a frightened look on her face as she watched her beloved pet and friend transform into a winged, furry demon]

CAT DEMON
[
growls and swipes at Robyn... who dodges out of the way!] ~snarling/howling~ "Roooobn"

ROBYN
~surprised~ "Hunh?!" [gets up] ~hopeful~ "Butterscotch???"

SAILOR MOON
[
glares at Malachite] "You are a heartless, cold.... MEANY!" [pouty facce]

MALACHITE
[
laughs evilly] "Is that the best you can do?!" [more laughter] "Well, it wasn't who I aimed for, but it works!" [evil smirk]

SAILOR MOON
[
reaches up] "Moon..." ~confused~ [glances up] "MOON...." ~surprised~ "The Crescent Moon Wand! Oh no!"

FEMALE VOICE
"Mars Fire IGNITE!" [
flames shoot at Malachite... who drops the crystal]

SAILORS VENUS, JUPITER AND MARS
We are the Sailor Scouts of Love and Justice and we will defeat you, Malachite!"

SAILOR SUN
"Give up, Malachite... your outnumbered!" [
sighs to herself] {~annoyed~ "Why do they keep saying these corny speeches?!}

[
Robyn looks at her cat/demon, and then to Sailor Moon, who's still quite confused...]

SAILOR MERCURY
"Mercury Bubbles BLAST!"

SAILOR JUPITER
"Jupiter Thunder CRASH!" [
directed at the crystal, the bolt hits, and it shatters]

CAT/DEMON
[
transforming into a smaller cat... a more orange/tigerish one than before... now with a bright yellow crescent moon on the forehead] "Mrooooowwwch!"

ROBYN
~confused~ "Hunh?!"

SAILOR MOON
"Did she? I mean- mmph!" [
Malachite grabs Sailor Moon from behind and disappears]

ALL SCOUTS AND ROBYN
"SAILOR MOON!"

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

WOW! Malachite got Sailor Moon! Oooo.. Is Robyn going to blame herself? Did she hear her cat talk? Is she seeing things or is there REALLY a moon on her kitty's forehead? Does anyone notice? Lastly... where was the Crescent Moon Wand?!
