“You dropped the silver crystal down the grate!”
Tears burst down Usagi’s face her four friends glared at her.
“Chibi-Usa tripped,” Usagi wailed.
“You tripped yourself, I surprised you didn’t loose it sooner,” The pink haired girl quipped. “Geez, Usagi, you’re such a klutz!”
“Why you little brat!” The blonde erupted, her hands outstretched as if to strangle the younger.
“Uh-Usagi, shouldn’t we be focusing on finding the crystal?” Minako asked trying to get her friend’s attention.
Perfect. This was perfect.
The six of them had flown to America to visit Darien and upon exiting the bus Usagi had tripped and dropped the Imperial Silver Crystal down a sewer grate!
“Uh-uh! NO WAY!” Usagi cried, “I am NOT going down there! Gross!”
A black cat named Luna that hung around the sailor scout leader’s neck bristled, “Usagi!” She snapped. “We are going down there and finding that crystal!” She jumped on Usagi’s head and gave the girl a firm bap on the head. “Now move, girls!”
The scouts removed the sewer grate and began lowering themselves into the darkness below.
“Now, stay put, Chibi-Usa,” Rei told her sternly. “We need you to keep an eye out for anything suspicious,"
“You guys are so mean!” Chibi-Usa cried down the open hole, her voice echoing in the darkness. “I’m a scout too, ya know!!”
The small cat on Chibi-Usa’s head gave a weak smile and softly, “Personally, Small Lady, I am glad not to be going down there,”

Makoto lead the way, a flashlight in hand, as Amy used her computer to track the crystal, Minako followed close behind as Rei dragged Usagi along by the arm.
“Look, it’s lost. Can’t we just make a new one by combining our powers or something?” Usagi whined.
“Oh, stop being such a baby, Usa-chan!” Rei growled. “Amy said we’re nearly-“
”Dudes! Check it out!!”
The group stopped suddenly as the voice echoed off the concrete walls.
“There’s someone down here!” Usagi whimpered and grabbed Rei’s arm. Rei rolled her eyes.
“Its probably a sewer worker, or a bum,” Rei hissed.
”What is it, Mikey?”
I dunno, some pretty stone,”
“I can’t understand a word they’re saying!” Makaoto grimaced. Minako shushed her.
“It looks like a dumb rock. Some lady’s necklace must have broke”
“It looks like an antique, but it doesn’t look like diamond or quartz,”
“I think you should chuck it,”
“No way Raph!”
”Hey, Leo! Come look what Mikey found!”
Minako choked, “ They found the crystal!” She whispered.
“We have to get it back, girls!” Luna hissed anxiously.
The girls tensed as they heard the sound of footsteps. The footsteps got closer and closer.
“Someone’s coming!” Usagi squeaked.
And then they saw it. It was a gigantic creature with an orange bandana around its face. It had two nunchunks at its waist and it looks like a great turtle.
The girls and the monster shrieked in unison at seeing each other.
“Yoma!”
“Mars Star Power” With a  burst of red light Rei turned into Super Sailor Mars. She struck a defiant pose, “Alright, Yoma! Give us back the Silver Crystal!”
The orange yoma stared at her blankly and there was a stunned silence.
“It’s an American Yoma! I don’t think it understands me!” Mars said as Makoto turned into Super Sailor Jupiter.
“It doesn’t need to understand me to understand I’m gonna kick its rear!” She said as she charged the startled looking creature.
But the monster was quicker then she thought as it easily ducked and blocked her blows.
“How did you guys do that?” It asked as it evaded her attack. “With the lights and the skirts and the sudden jewelry?”
“Stand still!” Jupiter barked.
“Omigosh! They speak Japanese!” Amy cried as she realized she understood the creature’s words.
“Mikey!” There was a sudden shout and a flurry of footsteps and then three more creatures identical to the last appeared. Only their headbands told them apart; one wore blue, one wore purple, and one wore red.
“Don’t just gawk, scouts! Transform!” Aretimis, Minako’s white cat shouted.
Venus Star Power
       Mecury Star Power!
                    Silver Moon Crystal Power!
Then where the three girls had stood appeared Super Sailor Venus, Super Sailor Mecury, and Eternal Sailor Moon.
“Why don’t we get greeted like this more?” The purple yoma asked as Venus charged outstretching her hand.
“Venus-Love me-CHAIN!” She shouted. A golden chain whip appeared in her hand  and she snapped it at the monsters.
“Donny, look out!” the blue yoma shouted and knocked the other aside deflected the blow with his katanas.
The girls swiftly attacked the yomas who were stunned and hesitant to fight back.
“Hey, guys! They speak Japanese! They don’t understand English!” The orange yoma called to his companions.
Jupiter had yet to land a blow on the wily monster, but she finally backed it into a corner.
“Let’s see you block this!” She snarled and drew her hand back. Just as she was ready to deliver a finishing blow something grabbed her hand. “HEY!”
She was yanked around and found herself face to face with the red yoma.
“**No Raph! We can’t fight them! They’re women!” The blue yoma shouted, but it was too late.
“Yeah, Raph, didn’t your mother teach you not to fight with girls?” Jupiter barked. SUPREME THUNDER
A bolt of energy coursed through the girl’s tiara and down her arm to the red yoma who still had a hold of her.
Raph was blown across the room like he had touched a live wire.
“Rapheal!” The other three yoma cried and Usagi blinked as she wielded her scepter. They sounded concern for the other that laid unconscious across the room.
Makoto barely had time to savor her victory as something hit her in the back of the head and she crumpled to floor.
“Jupiter!” Several scouts shouted in terror at the sailor’s limp form.
“Now that I have your attention, stop this fighting!” Said an aged voice from the shadows.
The girls froze, tensing, waiting for this new threat as the other yoma streaked over to their stricken companion.
From the shadows emerged not a warlord or warlock, but simply an elderly rat in a kimono leaning on a cane.

“What have you done to Jupiter!?” Minako demanded but the elderly creature held his hand.
There was a sense of respect and honor that emanated from the being before them, like a beloved family figure. They went still.
“I have merely stunned her, she will be fine. Now will you ladies please explain yourselves?” He asked, his tone icy but calm.
“We-we want the imperial silver crystal back,” Usagi demanded, but her voice betrayed her. She was afraid that they had attacked innocents.
“Silver Crystal? What the heck is that?” The Orange yoma asked dumbly.
“Mikey,” The purple yoma gasped. “The stone you found!”
“What this?” The yoma named Mikey asked and produced a small tear-dropped shaped crystal.
“Yes! Yes!” Usagi cried. “That’s it!”
The orange yoma walked over to the girl and scratched his head, “Gee, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know it was so important,” He handed it over to her and smiled. “I’m Michalengelo,  but you can call me Mikey,”
“I’m Eternal Sailor Moon,”
“What are you real names?” The purple yoma, whose name turned out to be Donatello, asked.
“We can’t tell you that,” Minako began and then turned to her friends, “Can we?”
“Well considering that they saw us before we transformed I don’t think it really matters,” Ami said softly.
“That and who are we going to tell?” Mikey laughed.
“Okay, my name is Usagi, these are my friends, Rei-Super Sailor Mars, Minako-Super Sailor Jupiter, Ami-Super Sailor Mecury, and the one you knocked out is Makoto-Super Sailor Jupiter,”
“Yeah-“ grunted a voice, “she packs a wallop,”
“Raph, you’re okay,”
The red yoma staggered too them, looking slightly charred but other then that okay.
“So-I musta missed something, we’re all friends now?”
“Master Splinter solved this,”
“Rrrr, I was about to tear into somebody,”
“Raph!” The blue yoma, named Leonardo scolded. “They were looking to recover the stone they lost,"
“Must be a doozy of an heirloom,”
Usagi bit her lip. They weren’t yomas, these---whatever they were, weren’t monsters. They lived down here and they had barged into their home and attacked them.
Usagi bowed low before the rat-father they called Splinter and said, “We are very sorry. We thought you were are enemy. We really meant no harm. I am very very very sorry!”
Splinter smiled and patted her head, “You are a sweet child. It is only a misunderstanding I’m glad could be brought back to light before someone got hurt,”
Mokoto gave a small groan and slowly pushed herself to her elbows, “oooh, what happened?”
Mars and Venus went over to help their friend up and Donatello gave Usagi a small beret that was green and what else, shaped like a turtle.
“If you’re going to be in New York a while and need some help, give us a ring,”
“A ring?”
“It’s a communicator-snap it and talk,”
“I will! Thank you!”
“You ladies must be going, it’s late,” Splinter said and waved goodbye.
The sailor scouts powered down and the two groups bowed low to each other.
Usagi gripped the crystal and the gift from her new friends closely as she hurried down the tunnel with the others.
“Now that’s something that doesn’t happen everyday,” Leonardo said as they watched the girls disappear from site.
