Disclaimer: not my characters, I'm only doing this for fun. But it is
my story.
========================================================================
As he was walking, Gai thought back to the last fight with the
HyperZoanoids.
"So there are still a few of them left," Gai muttered to himeself. "The
fights are escelating once again. I need to know how I did it the last
time. I have a hunch that before this is over, it's going to get a lot
worse."
Gai shook his head and walked on. He stopped for a moment when he saw
Usagi walking past him without saying hello. He whirled around and
studied the girl intently.
"That is not Usagi; she's far too graceful. Has Cronos figured out
where I'm at already?" After a moment, Gai discarded that idea. "No.
They know what I look like. I'm quite sure they wouldn't make the
mistake of creating a double and not showing her a picture of what I
look like."
Mulling that over, he contiued his walk. "The only other person I've
seen with hair like that is Sailor Moon, and...."
His eyes widened in relization. "Usagi is Sailor Moon, and the others
must be the rest of the Sailor Senshi. And that means that girl, I just
saw was..... Damn! You're an idiot Sho, Cronos wouldn't be the only
ones to use a trick like that. The Senshi have their own enemies."
Gai ran to a deserted alley and summoned the Guyver armor once more.
Guyver I leapt upwards and concentrated hard to activate his
teleportation. After a moment, he reappeared over the Hikawa Shrine.
"Where is she? There with her friends," Gai said to himself, and
looked towards the direction he had earlier walked. "The double will be
here in a couple of minutes. No time for subtlety."
Guyver descended rapidly and crashed through the roof of where the
Senshi were having their meeting. The seven girls jumped back in
surprise at Guyver's entrance.
Turning his attention to Usagi, Gai said, "There is a double of you
heading this way, Sailor Moon. You are in great danger."
Stunned that she was addressed by her Senshi name, Usagi stammered out,
"H-how? W-why am I in danger?"
"My own personal experiences with body doubles has never been
pleasent," Guyver replied, shaking his head. "My guess will be that she
will try to replace you and lead the others to their deaths."
Rei got out, "Why do you think we're the Sailor Senshi?"
Guyver commented, "You might want to change your hair style when you
become Sailor Moon. It's very distinctive and anyone with a good set of
sensors can see right through that energy field."
Rei deflated a bit, "Er? Sensors?"
Guyver bowed his head as the two sensors moved back and forth in their
grooves. "Yes. Like these. We have no time to waste."
Pointing to Usagi, he said, "Go hide somewhere. I want the rest of the
Senshi to stay here and I'll go underground. Meet the double before she
gets into this room."
Ami asked, "Why are we doing these things?"
"I want to know who she is, where she came from, and more importantly
what she knows. I hope I'm wrong about this. But if I'm not, get ready
to transform at a moment's notice."
Mutely the Senshi did as he wanted, still a little shaken that he was
easily able to see through their disguise.
Before he went underground, Gai said, "Pluto stay invisible for now.
It'll be another surprise for the double to deal with."
"Wh-what?" the girls chorused.
Setuna's voice came out of the air. "Do as he says. I'll explain
things afterwards."
-------------------------------
Dr. Tomoe giggleed maniacaly as he saw his newest Daimon. It looked
like a white skinned girl with a tape recorder attached to her back.
"Playback, force the Guyver to relive his most painful memories, while
one of us relieves Sailor Moon of the Chalice."
"Acknowleged."
Mimmete came running into the room. "Doctor. I just spotted the
Guyver flying towards the Hikawa Shrine."
"That place again?" Tomoe asked. "No matter. We at least know the
layout."
Mimmete asked, "Who's going to get the Chailice?"
"We're all going," Tomoe stated. "Even Hotaru. That way as soon as we
have the Chailce, we can give it to Hotaru right away. The Senshi will
be busy trying to help Guyver out, and it'll give us a perfect
oppurtuinity to grab it."
Tellu remarked, "This seems like a desperate plan."
Tomoe whirled on her. "You saw what the Chalice does for Sailor Moon.
Do you want to see what it does for Guyver? I do not. We have to act
now, before it is given to him."
The Witches nodded and got things ready for the upcomming fight. Dr.
Tomoe waited in the room with the Daimon eggs. A beeping comming from
his computer alerted him to an incomming message. He ran over and
opened the communications channel.
"Great Pharoh 90, it's an honor to hear from you."
"What is your status."
"A new enemy has shown up and were moblizing to get the Chalice before
the Sailor Senshi give it to him."
"I see. Faliure so far."
Dr. Tomoe sweated. "I think it might be the Savior. If the Senshi
give it to him. Everything we have worked for will be in danger."
"I see. I will observe your performance this time. How you fare will
decide if I keep you alive or kill you."
"Yes, Pharoh 90," Dr. Tomoe said weakly.
Black energy poured forth from the computer and stuck four Daimon
eggs. The four eggs merged and shifted into the form a black skinned
man, wearing grey robes.
"This Daimon avatar will be good enough for now," Avatar-90 said. "I
want to see the new enemy with my own eyes."
"Why haven't you done that before?" Dr Tomoe asked in shock.
"Because, I can't use all my powers using a puppet body," Avatar-90
replied. "Now stop stalling and get moving."
-------------------------------
Ami, Rei and the other Senshi were nervous about what was going on.
Having a human monster drop in like that was a bit unnerving.
Makoto asked, "Do you think the Death Busters have figured out who we
are? Or maybe Guyver's enemies? And, how did he know it was double?"
Rei replied, "Something alerted him to the fact that there is a second
Usagi walking around."
Cheking her watch, Ami said, "Normally, this about the earliest Usagi
would show up to one of our study groups. That little fight yesterday
caused even her to be here on time."
"So, we're dealing with a person who knows how Usagi acts," Rei said,
narrowing her eyes.
"We might have another problem," Minako added. "Guyver was in a hurry
and he does have his own enemies tracking him down."
Rei groaned on hearing that little tidbit. "We're going to have brawl
on our hands no matter what."
"Quiet here she comes," Ami said.
The Senshi watched as the exact image of Usagi came up the steps. The
double smiled and waved at the Senshi so much like Usagi that the Inners
were a tad uncertain if this wasn't really Usagi."
"Sorry, I'm late. I overslept. Haruka? Michiru? What are you doiing
here?"
Michiru replied, "Something came up in our fight with the Death
Busters.
Before anyone could say anything, Hino-san came outside and asked,
"Rei, have you seen Gai?"
Usagi asked, "Who?"
The second Usagi said that, she realized that she had just made a
mistake when she saw the eyes of the Inners glare at her.
Rei answered her grandfather. "He went for a walk. He should be back
shortly."
Hino-san nodded and went on his way.
"Who are you?" Rei demanded. "Usagi should know who Gai is, since
he's staying here."
"So this Gai might be why Crystal Tokyo is in danger," Usagi said to
herself. "You've met me before Rei, back when my daughter came back in
time to get help from you."
"Neo-Queen Serenity," Ami whispered. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm trying to protect Crystal Tokyo from being destroyed."
And how are you going to do that?" another voice asked from behind
Serenity.
Whirling around, Serentiy took an involuntariy step backwards as she
was face to face with Guyver. Right behind him was a hole in the steps.
"Wh-what are you?"
Guyver crossed his arms and stared at the girl. "If you are from the
future, you should know who I am. Or, are you from an alternate
timeline that diverged when I showed up?"
Rei asked Ami, "Alternate timeline?"
"Probable. I think when Guyver appeared, Crystal Tokyo started fading
out. Remember, Pluto didn't see the Zoanoid fight we had."
Haruka snorted, "She didn't even know what a Zoanoid was."
Serenity glared at Guyver. "So, you're the cause of my realm's
destruction."
Guyver shrugged, "Probably. Not that I care. If the future is locked,
it means that everything I went through was pointless. So tell me, what
were you going to do to Gai? Kill him for just being alive and an
uncertain factor? Sailor Moon is a nice person. I don't think she
wants to becomes someone who uses deception and harbors thoughts of
killing innocents."
"You're right, I wouldn't," Usagi said, as she came out of the shrine.
With burning eyes, Usagi stared at her future counterpart. "What
happened that would turn me into someone like you? Gai's a friend of
mine."
"You've destroyed everything!" Serenity yelled at Guyver. "The
paradise of Crystal Tokyo will never come about now!"
"How did it come about the first time?" Guyver asked.
Ami answered, "Serenity used the Silver Crystal to remove evil from the
hearts of humanity."
With a flat voice that sounded like the crack of doom, Guyver said,
"Mind control. I"m glad I destroyed it then. Any goverment that
requires mind control is evil."
The Inners gasped in shock as they felt the truth of Guyver's words.
"Perfection must take precendence," Serenity said. "I shall deal with
you and get time back on track."
Guyver snorted, "You'll have to wait in line."
"Huh?" Serenity said.
Gai pointed with is thumb behind him. "It looks like the Death Busters
are here to deal with me also."
------------------------------------
Hino-san watched as his grandaughter and her friends face off against
the traveller from the future and the now arriving Death Busters.
"So, Rei is Sailor Mars," Hino said to himself. "I must thank Sho for
getting that information for me, although I could have done without the
hole in the roof. I had better find Yuuichiro and get him into the
shrine propper. I have no wish to be caught in the crossfire of this
fight."
