"Reconstruction"

Part 1:  "We meet again"
by Mike Ray

	A beautiful fall day, no tests, which was great for Serena until she
met Rei by the gates in the front of the school.  The arguments, like
some perfectly tuned watch, started at the same time and place every day
since Reenie had left to go back home in the future.  Most of the time
it was stupid things, but Rei always seemed to provoke them as though
she got some thrill out of aggravating Serena.  Today was no different
when she started with a comment about Serenas' eating habits after she
had picked up a bag of strawberry biscuits on the way home.
	"I am sick of these arguments," Serena started after she had put in her
two cant about her eating.  "Can't we just walk home without having to
be at each others' through.  Quite frankly, I'm getting tired of it."
	"OK, I'll stop," said Rei.  This answer took Serena by surprise and her
jaw dropped, but being Serena, she could not let this opportunity to rub
it in.
	"I knew you would see it my way sooner or...." Serena was interrupted
by Rei.
	"Don't get the wrong idea.  I don't feel like arguing today.  Even
though I love the look on your face when you get mad."  Rei said while
picking up the pace and running in front of Serena.
	"Why you little..." Serena said as she started running and dropped the
biscuits on the ground.  "Stop Rei.  Come back here and I'll show you
how mad I can be.  I can't imagine why you could be so mean."
	"Well someone has to keep you on your toes now that Reenie is gone."
Rei yelled as she ran away.
	As Serena ran to try and catch up with Rei, she passed Lita jogging the
other way.  She looked forward to see Rei was too far for her to catch
so she turned around and ran to catch up with Lita.
	"Stop!" Serena yelled to Lita, puffing while she stopped and fell to
her knees.  "Lita!"
	Lita turned around and met the exhausted Serena.  "You need to get more
exercise," She started as she starred down at her friend.
	"Hey, what is that supposed to mean," Serena popped up into Litas'
face.  "Not you too.  Are you calling me fat?"
	"So what was the argument about this time?  You haven't ran after Rei
like that in a while."  Lita asked as if ignoring Serenas' anger.
Serena started her line of gripes, as usual, and Lita stood there and
looked as if she was actually listening, as usual.  After a couple of
minutes something caught the corner of Litas' eye in the alley beside
them.  She looked into the darkness, but shrugged it off as nothing. 
Before she could put her attention on Serena again, a whack on the back
of the head reminded her.
	"Hey, why did you do that for?" Lita asked while massaging the back of
her head which was a little sore.
	"You were not even listening to me.  You were just staring into space
like you don't even care about me." Serena whined.
	"You couldn't be closer to the truth," Lita said to herself and then
she saw Serena start to cry.  "I was listening to you...... really, I
was."
	Just then, someone jumped from the shadows of the alley and grabbed
Lita from behind.  Lita managed to squirm away and grabbed Serena and
ran with her still having no clue what was going on.
	"Time to get serious Serena," Lita said to Serena as she let go her
grasp while at the same time thinking that serious and serena in the
same sentence was a bad word choice.  "I think we got trouble."
	"OK," Serena said getting herself back together.  "I think this guy
should be taught some manners.  Let's do it."
	With that, they transformed to Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter.
They both turned around to find a person with blond, shoulder-length,
hair that hung over most of his face with only one eye showing.  His
attire was a strangely familiar outfit of a gray uniform with red trim
and gold buttons.   The only thing out of the ordinary was an unfamiliar
medallion hanging from his neck.  The man seemed to be hovering above
the ground as if flying, but only a couple of inches.  Without and
movement on his part, he drifted toward the two with his arms crossed. 
Both scouts ran a bit more to put some air between them and made sure to
keep a safe distance away.
	"Hey, look who came from the Negaverse yard sale," Jupiter commented to
Sailor Moon.  "I never knew those uniforms were so easy to get.  All the
bad guys must shop at the same store."
	"Hey buddy," Sailor Moon yelled to the hovering stranger.  "I don't
mean to burst your bubble, but that style died a long time
ago......Literally,"
	"Oh, yes," the man said as he drifted slowly toward the two, but Sailor
Moon and Jupiter kept their distance.  "I remember you destroyed the
Negaverse.  Humph...." he looked toward the sky for a moment then
directed more attention to the two as his voice got more a sense of
urgency.  "You didn't think I knew about that, did you?  And for the
uniform, I find it quite comfortable."  After saying that, the man,
without notice, raised his hand to point directly toward Sailor Moon and
a bolt of electricity originated from it and toward her.  Before it
reached the scouts, the bolt veered away and melted a nearby
lightpost.  	"That was just a warning," the man said as he lowered his
hand.  "If you give me what I came for, I might let you live.  I've come
for the head piece of the Staff of Alnilam.  Now give it to me!"
	"This guy is cracked," Sailor Moon said silently to Jupiter.  "Doesn't
he know who we are?"
	"In the matter of fact, I do," The man answered as Sailor Moons face
grew long with embarrassment for the fact he actually heard her.  "I
know exactly who you are and unless I counted wrong, I only see two of
you and one of me.  Excuse me if I am not scared out of my wits, but I
doubt you will be any challenge for me.  Now if you do not mind, I would
like the head now," The man said gritting his teeth and obvious anger in
his voice.  "I am running out of patience."
	"Arrogant and impatient.  Not a good combination if you ask me," Moon
said to Jupiter in a lower voice than the statement earlier, but then
she directed her attention to the stranger and sounded like she was
getting a little flustered.  "I do not know what you are talking about,
but we don't have a staff or a head of Alnilam.  If I did, I would not
give it to you anyway because you do not seem the kind to keep
promises."
	"Do you get our drift blondie," Jupiter added.  "Get lost!"
	"What a pity.  Now I will have to go though the undue stress of killing
you and getting what I want be force.  I hoped you would of at least
helped an old friend in need.  Or did you forget about me already." 
With a flick of his wrist, his hands began to glow with an eerie green
aura and an unsteady wind picked up around him as if was originating
from his hands.  The winds were strong enough to lift the strangers'
hair from his face and blow back.
	Both Sailor Moon and Jupiter saw the Strangers full face from the first
time.  Even though this was an insignificant addition to the knowledge
of a nemesis to Jupiter whom was taking a battle stance, Moon froze in
place and her jaw dropped.  Sailor Moon could not believe her eyes when
she rubbed them and saw the same man in front of her whose identity now
has been made much too clear.
	"Jadeite!?!"
	"Who?" Jupiter looked at Sailor Moon.  "You know this freak?"
	"Uhmmm...," Moon said scratching her head.  "It's a long story, but I
don't think now is the time for a big story.  Jadeite does not seem like
he wants to take a time out for a chat ."  Just then a bolt came toward
Jupiter and Moon pushed her out of the way in time.
	The battle involved a lot of running, mostly on Sailor Jupiter and
Moon's part, while Jadeite followed them effortlessly and demanding an
item the two scouts knew nothing about.  Then after a couple of circles
around the block, Jadeite stopped shooting and outstretched his arm and
opened his palm toward the running scouts.  Both Moon and Jupiter
stopped dead in their tracks and fell to the ground as if they hit a
wall.  "I have been playing with you for far too long," Jadeite said in
a much calmer tone.  "It is obvious you do not want to cooperate.  There
is one way I see fit to end this setback.  Something I should of done a
long time ago if it hadn't been for Queen Beryl's hasty actions.  I had
you in my clutches.... Serena."
	"How do you know about this?"
	"I've always known.  Ever since last we met at that unforgettable
airport.  I am shocked you don't remember that little incident.  Enough
of the small talk, I want the head of Alnilam now.  If you give it to
me, I might just forget about this encounter."
	Just then a red rose flew down and cut Jadeites' glove and blood
started to appear on the pearly white gloves.  "Your not getting
anything Jadeite," came a voice from a nearby rooftop.  The figure
jumped down and started to walk toward him.
	"Tuxedo Mask," Jadeite said clenching his now injured hand.  "What a
coincidence seeing you here.  Today has turned out better than I
expected, because as you can remember, we have some catching up to do. 
I have an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone."
	"I don't know why you came back, but you better leave before you wish
you never returned."
	"Is that a threat or a promise, because I am going to enjoy watching
you suffer.  I have been away too long , but one thing I have not
forgotten is the way you have insulted my honor," Jadeite said as he
clinched his fists and they began to glow.
	"Not this time Jadeite," Tuxedo Mask said as he got ready for his duel
with Jadeite.  He looked behind him toward to two scouts who were still
not able to get up.  This meant Jadeite was stronger and him power did
not diminish even if he was distracted.  Just then a strange voice
interrupted them.
	"Jadeite!" the voice said in a slightly angered tone.  "I thought I
told you not to proceed until everyone was informed.  We can not go into
such a venture half-cocked.  Come back now or I might have to bring you
back myself, and I assure you the trip will not be comfortable."
	"I understand perfectly Obsidian.  I am so sorry....I misunderstood
you," Jadeite said to the voice then turned his attention toward the two
scouts.  "You have escaped death this time, but do not think for one
second you have seen the last of me.  The Negaverse may be dead, but I
am not."  With that he vanished in a blink of an eye and both scouts
took a big sigh of relief and got up.
	"Sailor Moon," Tuxedo Mask said as he ran to Moon.  "Are you all
right?"
	"I think so," Sailor Moon said wiping the dirt off herself.  "...But
Jadeite is back and he is a lot stronger for all I can see.  I think we
should watch our back for the next few days."
	"Your right,"  Tuxedo Mask said in a cautious tone.  "I'll walk you two
home."  All three changed back to their "street cloths" and walked to
Serenas' house where they met Amy whom was waiting to tutor  Serena and
help with her plummeting science grades.

are planning to do and we will 	discover the enjoyment of eating
condiments.
