Chapter 5: Mars Attacks
It was just a normal morning at Echo Creek Academy. Star, Marco and Amaya were walking to their lockers together.
"So then dad ended up knocking his hat off…" said Star telling a story.
That was when they noticed a crowd.
"Oh cool! A crowd!" said Star with her eyes sparkling.
"Seriously?" asked Marco.
They saw that the crowd was gather around Britney and another Asian girl.
"So she's staying at my house." Said Brittney, "Her dad is a politician."
The girl seemed to scowl at mention of her father.
"What's going on?" asked Star.
"It's another foreign exchange student." Said Alfonzo, "This time from Japan."
"Oooh! Japan!" said Star, "Where's Japan?"
"It's on the other side of the ocean." Said Marco.
Cool!" said Star.
"You know." Muttered the new Foreign Exchange Student, "I can explain who I am myself."
"I told you not to talk." Said Britney. "And let me explain everything. Or you might blab about your "gifts"."
The foreign exchange student glared at her then walked away.
"Hello!" yelled Star jumping in front of her.
The new girl jumped.
"What the!" she yelled.
"It's nice to know that we're not the only ones." Said Amaya.
"What?" asked the new foreign exchange student.
"I'm Star Butterfly and I'm from Mewni!" said Star.
"I'm Amaya Aqua and I'm from Peru." Said Amaya introducing herself.
"Rei Hino, and I'm from Japan." Said the new foreign exchange student.
Before she could say anything else, Brittney dragged her away.
"You don't want anything to two with those weirdoes." Said Brittney.
"What?" asked Rei.
"One's a magical princess from another Dimension… she's such a weirdo and I have no idea why the other girl would hang out with her." Said Brittany.
"Why are you telling me what friends I can have?" asked Rei.
"You're living with me… also I need some back up cheerleaders since some of them went missing" said Brittney.
"What?" asked Rei.
"Yeah, Sabrina and several others when missing, but that doesn't matter." Said Brittney.
"Who's Sabrina?" asked Rei.
"I'll explain later." She muttered.
Meanwhile Marco was overhearing other students talking about the disappearing students as well.
"I heard that they took the number 66 and they completely disappeared." Said one of the students.
"You're kidding." Said another.
Marco realized that sounded really bad and decided to tell Star and Amaya during lunch about the disappearances.
"That does sound strange." Sai Amaya.
"So you really think that it's the enemy?" asked Star.
"Maybe." Said Marco, "I mean it does sound suspicious."
"Talking about the 66?" asked Janna suddenly showing up.
"What about it?" asked Janna.
"For the past couple days, people have gotten onto the bus then bam, they just disappear." Said Janna, "Rumor is it's going to the under world."
"Unlikely I doubt Tom would stoop that low to kidnap people to get me back." Muttered Star.
Janna stared at Star.
"Her ex-boyfriend is the prince of the underworld." Whispered Marco.
"Nice!" said Janna.
"But it does sound very suspicious." Said Amaya.
Rei and Brittney walk by. Rei looked at them but Brittney tugged at her arm making her come along.
"I hope she's able to escape Brittney soon." Said Star looking at Rei.
"What?" asked Marco.
"It's clear she doesn't want to hang out with Brittney.' Said Star.
"It does seem that way." Agreed Amaya.
"I mean sure we both have foreign Exchange Students, but that doesn't mean we own them." Said Janna to Marco.
Marco looked at Rei who clearly wanted to get away from Brittney.
"Okay you have a point." Said Marco.
"Should we figure out a way to break her out so to speak?" asked Janna.
"No I think that we should worry about other things before we do that…." Said Amaya.
"Good point." Said Star.
"What are you talking about?" asked Janna.
"Things!" said Star.
"Boring things!" said Marco.
"Things you wouldn't want to know about." Said Amaya.
"Fine… don't tell me." Said Janna with a shrug.
They all sighed as Janna left.
"So where's the 66?" asked Star.
"I'll show you after school." Said Marco.
The other two nodded.
Later that day after school they were to the bus stop.
"This is the boss stop." Said Star.
"IT is." Said Marco.
"But it's nowhere near the time it's supposed to arrive." Said Amaya.
Have either of you told Luna yet?" asked Marco.
"Oh I knew I was forgetting something." Said Star.
"I'll go get her." Said Marco.
Star created board game so that Star and Amaya could do something while waiting.
It didn't take long for the two show up though.
They spent the time waiting for the bus while playing games while hiding.
Though there was some arguing about a magical version of chutes and ladders that Star had created.
"Star follow the rules." Scolded Marco.
"Oh come on! It's fun!" said Star.
"Hey!" said Luna.
They noticed the somewhat large crowd of people gathered for the bus.
And most of them seemed to be in some sort of trance.
The rest didn't seem to care they were boarding a bus that's been rumored to cause disappearances.
One person was actually grumbling "I'll just disappear! That will show them all!"
And soon enough the bus came.
"Should we get on?" asked Star.
"If we don't we might not know where it goes." Said Luna.
"But if one o us gets on we might be lost." Said Marco.
"Let's see what's going on with the bus first and if we don't know what's happening then we'll go on tomorrow." Said Amaya.
They deicide maybe it was a good idea to go with Amaya's plan.
They waited for the bus to leave.
As it left they hoped that something happened…
And something did, a portal opened up and the bus started to fly towards it.
"I didn't know buses could fly!" said Star.
"They can't!" said the other three at the same time.
"Oh…" said Star.
Meanwhile Rei and Brittney were being driven home when Rei got a terrible feeling.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Brittney.
"Something evil is happening." Said Rei.
"Seriously?" asked Brittney.
"Look I told you I'm psychic!" said Rei, "And something is happening in this town…"
"And I told you I don't care." Said Brittney, "You want to blend in… you do what I say."
"I don't want it blend it… you're making me blend in." muttered Rei.
"No I'm not…" said Brittney, "Also you barley did anything during practice."
"You dumped me into practice expecting I knew the routine." Muttered Rei.
"Honestly you would have if you were paying attention." Muttered Brittney.
"(I'm just a toy to her… that must be it…)" Rei muttered in Japanese.
"I don't know what you said…" muttered Brittney, "But don't you dare speak when I can't understand you."
Rei sighed…
This was going to be a pain…
The next day word spread about more disappearances.
Of course Star and Amaya made plans to go take the bus to find out where it was taking them.
"I'm not going?" asked Marco.
"It's one of the cases where you should lay low." Said Star.
Marco was going to argue but then he remembered it was problem not a good idea to be dragged into every single fight.
Especially considering the last fight involved his arm… so yeah if he showed up fighting with the other two he would be in danger.
"Just be in contact okay…" said Marco.
The two nodded.
Later that day during cheerleading practice, Rei had it.
"I'm not doing this any more!" she yelled.
"What!" yelled Brittney.
"I don't want any of this!" yelled Rei storming out.
"You quit I'm telling my parents and you'll be sent back to Japan!" yelled Brittney.
"Good!" yelled Rei, "I didn't want to be sent here anyways!"
The other cheerleaders looked at each other.
Rei wandered around not caring where she ended up.
That was when she noticed Star and Amaya at the bus stop.
"Oh hey Rei!" said Star.
"Is something wrong?" asked Amaya.
"I've had with Brittney." Muttered Rei.
"Oh… okay." Said Star.
Then Rei noticed the other people at the bus stop.
She got a bad feeling from it.
"What's wrong with them?" asked Rei.
"You leave." Said Amaya.
"Why?" asked Rei, "Wait is that the bus everyone talking about."
"Sure is." Said Star.
"Star…" sighed Amaya.
That was when the bus drove up to the stop.
The people who were clearly brainwashed got on the bus.
"Looks like it's time." Said Amaya.
"Yeah." Said Star with a nod.
"You're just going to get on the bus?" asked Rei.
"Don't worry!" said Star, "We can handle it."
Luna was watching Rei getting a feeling from her.
That was when people started getting on the bus.
"Come on!" said Star.
"Wait!" said Rei.
She followed them on the bus.
"What are you doing/" asked Star.
However the bus door closed.
People started to collapse due to energy loss.
"Energy Shield Protection!" called out Star protecting the three as well as Luna from the energy loss.
"What?" asked Rei.
"Magical Princess from another Dimension." Said Star.
"Oh yeah… almost forgot about that…" said Rei.
As they had went through the portal, the Bus Driver looked at them and pushed the three out of the bus. Luna jumped after them.
The bus driver then turned into a monster.
"I need a hostage and you'll do nicely!" yelled the monster choosing one of the three girls to take hostage, which turned out to be Rei. She grabbed Rei and held her captive.
"Let go of me!" yelled Rei.
That was when a red mark appeared on her forehead, it was a heart at an angle with an arrow coming from it.
"Wait… isn't that…" said Star.
"She's one too!" said Luna surprised.
She performed a back flip and protected a red wand like Ami's but it was red instead of blue.
"Rei catch!" called out Luna.
Rei caught it, even being held captive.
"I'm going to expect she's from the other dimension." Said Rei.
"No I'm from this one…" said Luna.
"Seriously!" said Rei.
"Say Mars Power Make-Up!" explained Luna, "I'll explain later!"
"Mars Power! Make-up!" called out Rei.
Her wand gave off fire during the transformation, which forced the monster to let go.
Once she was transformed, she wore a Sailor Guardian outfit, however her main color was red, with a purple ribbon in front, and a red in back, also her shoes were high heels.
"What!" yelled the monster.
"What…" said Rei confused.
"All right! It's time!" said Star.
"Moon Prism Power!" called out Star.
"Mercury Power!" called out Amaya.
"Make-up!"
Both of them transformed leaving Rei confused.
"Yeah… this has nothing to do with me being a magical Princess from another Dimension!" said Sailor Moon.
"Okay…" said Rei.
"All right Rei! You're Sailor Mars, the Guardian of Fire!" said Luna.
"I see…" said Rei or rather Sailor Mars.
"I don't care if you're the Guardian of what ever! You will pay for foiling our plans!" yelled the monster.
The monster waved its hand at them.
"Fire Soul!" called out Sailor Mars almost on incident.
The fire hit the monster hard.
"All right! Good work! I guess it's time to finish it!" cheered Sailor Moon.
She grabbed her tiara, "Moon Tiara Action!"
The tiara hit the monster turning it into dust.
They looked around and saw they were in a strange space with buses floating around.
"What do we do now?" asked Sailor Mercury.
"Look like we're trapped here." Said Sailor Mars with her eye twitching.
"No quite!" said Sailor Moon taking out her dimensional scissors.
She created a portal large enough to get the buses through.
"And how are we going to get the buses out?" asked Sailor Mars.
They heard a honking.
They saw that someone was driving one of the buses, and also somehow attached ropes to other buses.
"Yo!" said the person driving the buses.
IT was Skull Mask.
"All right!" said Sailor Moon, "Skull Mask got this!"
"Who?" asked Sailor Mars.
"We don't know…" said Luna with a scowl.
They hopped avoid the bus Skull Mask was driving and he drove them through the portal… and then crashing into a tree.
"Okay seriously!" yelled Sailor Mars.
Sailor Mercury saw the state Skull Mask was in. He was crutching the wheel in a pain way.
"Are you okay?" asked Sailor Mercury.
"He just crashed a bus… the answer is no…" said Sailor Mars with her eye twitching.
"I have to vomit!" said Skull Mask getting off and running off.
"Uh…" said Sailor Moon unsure how to reposed to her crush running away like that.
"Okay… can you explain what's going on now…" said Sailor Mars.
They gave the explanation on what was going on.
While they did Jadeite watched in anger.
"There's three of them now." He muttered.
That night at the Wong House, Rei was laughing to herself… why?
Because she was listening to the argument downstairs.
"But she lives with us!" yelled Brittney.
"But that doesn't mean you can treat her like a toy! She is our guest! And as long as she's our guests you let her make her decisions on her hobbies and who she hangs out with!" yelled her father.
"But!" yelled Brittney.
"Listen or you won't have a birthday party!" yelled her father.
Rei continued to laugh as she drew some ofuda, special scroll known for banishing evil.
The next day, Star and Marco were talking to school together.
"So you still don't know how you got sick?" asked Star.
"It's like when I got car sick… but I didn't ride in any cars yesterday." Said Marco.
"Star!" called out Rei.
"Hi Rei!" cheered Star, "You look happy did anything happen?"
"Brittney's dad got her off my back." Said Rei with a shrug.
"Yes! We can hang out now!" said Star.
"Welcome to the team!" said Marco.
"what?" asked Rei.
"I told Marco about Sailor Moon…" said Star, "Don't worry! You can also talk about it with my mom when she calls you want."
"Okay." Said Rei.
That was when Amaya walked towards them.
"Good morning!" said Amaya.
"So… you two going to show me the ropes to this." Said Rei.
"Well first off that's the not the only enemy we're fighting…" said Star.
"What?" asked Rei.
That was when she sensed something.
And then a portal opened revealing Ludo.
"Kappa?" asked Rei confused.
"Oh someone knows what I am! Neat!" said Ludo, "Now hand over the wand!"
"Not on your chance Ludo!" said Star, "Rainbow Bunny Surprise!"
She shot out a bunch of rainbow bunnies.
Amaya took out her bow and shot water arrows at the monsters.
While Marco kicked a few away.
One of them grabbed Rei.
Star was ready to create a weapon for Rei.
However she wasn't expecting Rei to take out a scroll and start chanting finishing with "Akuryo Taisan!"
She placed the scroll on the monster forehead who started screaming in pain.
"Whoa!" said Marco.
"How!" said Star.
"I have psychic powers." Sighed Rei, "I'm also a Miko… or Shinto priestess I guess it would translated as…"
"So awesome!" cheered Star with her eyes sparkling.
Rei smiled as t was the opposite reaction of Brittney's.
"Great! Now we're dealing with a psychic priestess!" yelled Ludo.
The fighting continued, with Rei as a new member.
But with three Sailor Guardians things were going to get a lot of harder… as they didn't know that Jadeite was going to up his game… and who knows what going to happen with that.
Next Time: Rei gets adjusted to being a Sailor Guardian... and she realizes that Star's a little crazy... what will happen? Find out next time!
