(The scene opens up in a dark room. The apartment seems strangely familiar; then two people in black appear on the scene.)

[Mamoru (whispering): Remind me again why we're doing this?]

[Michael (also whispering): Because if we can pull this off, we can get rid of those damn elves once and for all.]

(Michael goes into a closet and removes Sailor Pluto's staff.)

(Suddenly, the light went on upstairs and the sound of angry Setsuna could be heard.)

(Michael started waving that thing wildly and shouting all the Sailor incantations he knew. He was swinging that thing so wide that he started knocking over all sorts of furniture and sending "Dead Screams" into some of the walls. Finally, he scored on one that worked and both Mamoru and him disappeared. The Staff clattered to the ground.)

A STRANGE SPACE-TIME WARP OPENED UP AND SUCKED THE CAMERA IN.

(Mamoru and Michael screamed their heads off as they fell through a portal in space and time. As they fell, they could see various important events in history flashing by.)

(Mamoru dodged to the left as a speeding D'Lorean nearly ran him over and Michael watched this kid and a dog with glasses pass by in something called the "Way back Machine".)

(Eventually, the two of them came to a crash on a hard, concrete surface and the portal closed behind them.)

(Michael and Mamoru picked themselves up and looked around. They were uncertain of their location until they looked into the sky and saw the huge visage of the planet Earth [as seen from the moon].)

(Mamoru and Michael blew a sigh of relief as they gathered their equipment. A man on a bicycle passed them by and stopped. He stared at them until Mamoru walked up to talk to him.)

(Mamoru and Michael stood for a few moments, like deer caught in headlights, as that sunk in. Finally, Mamoru turned to Michael.)

(Michael went on the defensive.)

(The man on the bike perked up at Queen Beryl's name.)

(Mamoru and Michael stared at him like he had just grown another head....and it was female. Eventually, the man peddled off, leaving Mamoru and Michael standing in the middle of the road.)

(Michael just stared off into space with a blank look on his face.)

(Michael got very excited and started to gather the equipment faster.)

(Mamoru sighed deeply and shook his head.)

[Mamoru (sarcastically): I keep waiting for this to seem like a bad idea.]

(Mamoru and Michael eventually made their way to the capital city of the Moon Kingdom. It was quite a marvelous place, except that you'd go blind if you looked at the crystal too much.)

(Mamoru grabs a flyer from a building wall and examines it.)

[Mamoru: It's a celebration commemorating the engagement of Princess Serenity to ......(sigh)..... Prince Endymion. We have more time then I thought. Queen Beryl isn't going to destroy the moon until the day before the wedding ceremony.]

(Michael and Mamoru made their way towards the large structure that could only be the palace. Crowds of people were on the street, gossiping about the engagement.)

(A few hours later, Michael and Mamoru had made their way to the entrance of the palace. The front entrance was being guarded and no unauthorized individuals were getting in. A huge party was being set

up in the main ballroom.)

[Michael: Oh, yeah? What's that?] (Mamoru looked around a bit.)

(Just then, a voice behind them rang out, startling them.)

(Mamoru and Michael nodded to each other and turned around..........to face Princess Mars.]

[Mamoru & Michael: ...............(big anime sweat drop)........................]

(Michael grabbed Mamoru's arm and dragged him away from a startled Princess Mars and into the palace as quickly as he could. Once inside, they both wiped the sweat off their brows.)

(Inside the palace, Michael and Mamoru made their way through the winding passages and past all sorts of people setting up decorations. Michael looked left to right frequently, observing everything. Mamoru, however, had most of his past life memories and wore a "Been There, Done That" expression.]

(Mamoru cocked his head in Michael's direction briefly.)

[Mamoru (with a distant expression): Hmm....? No....I want to look around. We have decorations to hang up after all.]

(Michael turned two shades of red.)

(Michael was cut off when the sound of a horn resonated through the ballroom.)

(A hush fell over the crowd as Queen Serenity came in from the hallway. Everyone bowed........except for Mamoru and Michael, who weren't prepared for this. Queen Serenity noticed this and tried to crane her neck to get a better view of the strangers in the back. Before she could make out any faces, Michael and Mamoru had dashed for the exit and escaped.)

(In the hallway, Mamoru and Michael continued to sprint down the hall. They took a corner rather sharply and screeched to a halt in time to avoid colliding with a woman.)

(Standing before Mamoru and Michael was Queen Beryl, on her way to speak with Serenity about the engagement. She stood stunned as well, then noticed the incredible expressions of hatred that they wore.]

MEANWHILE

(Queen Serenity had summoned Princess Jupiter to her chambers to discuss a matter that disturbed her.)

(Princess Jupiter nodded. Behind Serenity, Queen Beryl ran screaming past the door. Queen Serenity looked briefly, but thought nothing of it since there wasn't anyone there. She turned towards Jupiter again.)

(Michael and Mamoru then ran past Serenity's door, with boards that had nails in them, hot on Beryl's heels.)

(Mamoru looked around, but could find no trace of Queen Beryl. Wherever she went, she was gone now. Michael shook his head in frustration.)

(Michael and Mamoru began to examine the winding network of tunnels they had stumbled into. It seemed to go on forever and there were no windows, so they didn't know what floor they were on.)

(Michael and Mamoru turned around to face Princess Jupiter, who was in full costume. She did a lot of the posing one tends to associate with a Sailor Senshi........or a Power Ranger.)

[Mamoru (whispered sarcastically to Michael): That's right, feed the bears.]

(Michael reached into his pocket and pulled out his car key. Holding it like Chibimoon holds her magic icon, Michael spouted a lot of gibberish and hurled the key like it was a grenade. When Sailor Jupiter dived out of the way, Mamoru and Michael made a break for it.)

(Sailor Jupiter waited for a few moments, watching the key. Finally, she walked up and picked it up. She growled.)

(Meanwhile, Michael and Mamoru continued to break human speed records, dodging guards and couriers alike. Finally, they saw the entrance to the palace and made a dash for it. Just as they were almost home-free, bolts of energy knocked them off their feet. They rolled for a moment and came to a stop in front of their attackers, Prince Endymion and his four generals.)

(Michael and Mamoru used a little maneuver they learned from watching some break dancers to twist themselves around on the floor, knock Nephrite's feet out from under him, and leap to their feet. Unfortunately, Prince Endymion's sword was to Mamoru's throat just as quick.)

(Mamoru was about to use transform, when Michael motioned in a manner that could only be interpreted as "For crying out loud, stop you idiot!" Mamoru reluctantly surrendered.]

[Sailor Jupiter (charging in): HOLD IT...oh, Prince Endymion, thanks for capturing the intruders.]

(Mamoru and Michael raised their arms in the air in a signal of surrender.)

[It has been several hours since Mamoru and Michael had been captured. One of the Luna Ball cameras had ceased following them and hovered in the corner of Queen Serenity's chambers. She was having a small meeting with Queen Beryl, Prince Endymion, Zoycite, and Princess Mercury. Zoycite wasn't paying too much attention and neither was Mercury.]

(Zoycite was turning to look towards the door.)

(Mercury started pouring Zoycite a cup of tea.)

[Mercury: Why, I'm sure Princess Jupiter escorted them to the sun room so they can relax while we discuss business. The sun room is SO beautiful this time of the morning....] (Meanwhile....in the Dungeon....)

(Michael and Mamoru had their backs against a corner, Michael holding his board w/nail like it was a talisman. Strange noises and growls were coming from the other side of the cell.)

[Michael: (screaming) WHERE?! WHERE?!]

[Mamoru: (sweating like the pig that knows he's dinner) Over in the corner! How the hell do I know? Go hit it before we find out how big it is!]

(Two young ladies, in full royal aparrel, were travelled with two cats to the lower level of the dungeons. The girls looked almost identical, except for a few varying facial and hair differences. One of them looked very nervous.)

(One of the cats, with a crescent shaped mark on it's forehead spoke her concerns as well.)

(Down near the cell that held Mamoru and Michael, sounds of combat had just died down. The creature that was with them had finally collapsed after taking multiple roses and board strikes. Tuxedo Kamen was

panting hard and Michael was wiping sweat off his brow. The light from the one barred window they had wasn't enough to show what the creature was....only that it was BIG.)

(The sound of a key being fitted into the cell door caused Tuxedo Kamen and Michael to turn towards the door and adopt battle stances. When Princess Serenity entered the cell, both dropped their jaws in shock.)

(Princess Venus sighed and shook her head. Luna and Artemis looked Tuxedo Kamen and Michael over....trying to determine why they appeared to recognize Princess Serenity.)

(Michael and Tuxedo Kamen looked at each other briefly....and started laughing loudly.)

[Serenity: (looking relieved) Then it's not true?]

[Serenity: You really DO look like Endymion. The resemblance is uncanny. You could be twins.

(Serenity looked confused for a moment, then handed Michael a key.)

(Then, the sounds of guards could be heard changing the shifts. Venus, Serenity, Luna, and Artemis made their way out of the cell and Serenity waved goodbye.)

(Michael was about to pocket the key, then started to feel it with his hands. He held it up to the light and did a double take.)

(Michael handed Tuxedo Kamen the key to their cell.)

LATER

(Queen Serenity stood in the lower level of the dungeon, looking at the empty cell that once held the two strangers. Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter had transformed into Sailor Senshi and were waiting for Queen Serenity to give them instructions. Princess Serenity, Luna, and Artemis stood to the side and watched.)

(Princess Serenity turned beet red but no one noticed in the dark passageway of the dungeon. Luna looked up at Queen Serenity and tried to make her focus on the problem.)

(Queen Serenity sighed and nodded her head. She turned to the inner senshi.)

(The four Senshi nodded and rushed up the stairs. Queen Serenity and the others followed at a slower pace. When they had gone, Mamoru and Michael emerged from the shadows they were hiding in. They were incredibly nervous at the prospect of fighting the Sailor Senshi in the past, when they were at the peak of their power.)

(Mamoru and Michael nodded simultaneously and slowly ascended the stairwell. When they got to the top, they re-emerged near the ballroom. Mamoru and Michael did what they were planning to do in the first place. They bopped two people over the head and stole their uniforms. They quickly changed.)

(Michael and Mamoru were right on the money. The clothes allowed them to travel inside the palace without being detected. While appearing to be courtiers, Mamoru made a beeline straight for the crystal. From the distance, two figures watched them proceed.)

[Kunzite:(smiling) Of course! A non-lethal illusion that mimics what its target least wants to see.]

(Kunzite starts to summon a great amount of energy and focuses it into a ball. He then throws it at the ground directly in front of Mamoru and Michael.)

(The ball starts to take on a shape. At first it's unidentifiable; but soon it becomes what they least want to see...)

(The gigantic pig, wielding it's butcher knife, roared a very unusual sound and rushed toward the duo. Michael and Mamoru looked even more terrified when the monster seemed to grow even larger. They scattered and the knife swing cut into a marble column, nearly severing it in half.)

[Jedite: A...a shadow terror can't harm physical objects! Who...who intensified the illusion?]

(In the shadows, Queen Beryl chuckled to herself and casually left the area as Mamoru's and Michael's screams filled the air. Outside the palace, the Sailor Senshi were almost past the front entrance when

they heard the yelling. With a sigh, they turned around and charged back inside. Michael and Mamoru passed them by at high speeds. They turned around again.)

(Just then, the Shadow Terror came running by, knocking Sailor Senshi left and right as it pursued it's original targets.)

[Mercury: (picking herself off the ground) What was that?]

(As Michael and Mamoru continued to make their escape, they made their way to a small ice rink that was Princess Jupiter's favorite hangout. Michael and Mamoru started slipping and sliding as they tried to run

on the ice.)

(The Shadow Terror was having just as much luck and they all went sliding back and forth among the people already skating like a pinball game.)

(Finally, Michael and Mamor slid onto a ramp that catepulted them into the air. From her balcony, Princess Serentiy watched their two shadows pass in front of the Earth. Serenity rubbed her eyes for a moment and decided to lie down. The Shadow Terror, on the other hand, came to a rest in front of the Sailor Senshi, who had just caught up. It had enough time to let out a brief "eep!" before they turned it into dust.)

(Michael and Mamoru were in trouble. With the moon's low gravity, the momentum had carried them pretty far away from the palace. They were going to land sooner or later and it was REALLY going to hurt. On instinct, Mamoru transformed into Tuxedo Kamen and grabbed Michael's arm. Using his minor gliding ability, he managed to keep them aloft long enough to safely land on the ground.)

[Tuxedo Kamen: It's what I do.]

(They started to make their way back to the palace. When Tuxedo Kamen and Michael got to the entrance to the city, they found that the whole palace guard was on alert. It seems that just about everyone was looking for them. A guard captain was shouting out orders.)

(Tuxedo Kamen and Michael looked at each other. Just great! Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Pluto were going to show up and that was just going to complicate things even more.)

(Both wearing palace clothes, Mamoru and Michael were able to slip past the guards. Luckily, no one other the Sailor Senshi had any idea what they looked like.)

(Once inside the palace, they headed for the room containing the Crystal. On the way, they had to hide from Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury, who were patrolling the grounds. Mamoru started talking to himself.)

[Mamoru: Stay calm, stay focused. We are courtiers of the Moon Kingdom and we cannot act like we don't belong here...]

(As if on cue, a familiar voice shouted out. Sailor Mars, again.)

(Michael and Mamoru turned to see that Mars had spotted them across the hallway. Without another word, they bolted. They dodged in and out of corridors while trying to avoid being blasted by Mars's "Burning Mandalas".)

(Mamoru and Michael ducked into a room with a strange symbol etched on the door. Once inside, they dived under the bed and prayed that Mars wouldn't find them. A moment passed, then a person entered the room. Michael and Mamoru held their breath.)

(Mamoru and Michael blew a sigh of relief. It wasn't Mars. Then again, Princess Saturn might be just as big a problem. They looked around to see where in the room she was. Maybe they could sneak around her.)

(Just then, Mamoru sneezed from all the dust under the bed. Saturn froze and tried to spot the source of the noise. She sat on the bed and was very quiet. Michael and Mamoru held their breath again. Saturn hung over the edge of the bed and looked under it. Michael and Mamoru just smiled guiltily.)

(Michael and Mamoru crawled out from under the bed, stood, and dusted themselves off.)

(Saturn looked confused for a moment, then it came to her.)

(Mamoru and Michael finally got a good look at Princess Saturn. Like all the princesses, she looked much older than her present day counterpart. Hell, she probably WAS older than the present day Hotaru.)

[Saturn: (considering) Hmm...I haven't decided. I suppose I could pretend I didn't see you...]

(Mamoru and Michael paused for a moment, then proceeded to tell her that they were here to find a way back to the future after an "accident" sent them to the Silver Millenium. They also mentioned the Elven Court and all the insanity they've been causing. They conveniently left out the parts about the Sailor Senshi of the future and how Queen Beryl is going to turn this place into dog food sooner or later.)

[Saturn:(with an amazed look on her face) ............wow! This is going to be quite an adventure.]

[Saturn: Saturn Planet Power; Make Up! (transforms) I'll come with you as far as the crystal chamber on the other side of the palace. After that, you're on your own.]

(Mamoru & Michael looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and started tying sheets to climb out the window.)

(Mamoru, Michael, and Sailor Saturn slowly climbed down the long rope of bed sheets and were trying very hard not to make any noise. They had three stories to go and there seemed to be less footholds near the bottom.)

(Michael and Mamoru sighed rather loudly and shook their heads.)

(Michael was the last one to descend. Along the way down, he passed y an open window. Just as he was about to continue down, a tall girl had just gotten out of the bath, and passed the window in nothing but a small towel. When she noticed Michael, she screamed.)

(Michael lost his hold on the rope. As he fell, he reached out and snagged Mamoru and Saturn. Unfortunately, they weren't prepared to support his weight, and the three of them plunged three stories to the moat below. Their landing sent three huge pillars of water into the air.)

(Michael, Mamoru, and Saturn dragged themselves out of the moat, dripping wet.)

(Luckily, that little incident didn't draw any attention to them. Well....not any new attention. Princess Uranus was looking out the window with a rather mad expression on her face.)

[Mamoru, Michael, and Saturn made a break for it. Michael and Mamoru were getting quite used to this.)

(Luckily, there was a back door to the palace, and they rushed inside. After baracading the door with several dozen pieces of furniture, the three of them relaxed.)

(Sailor Saturn giggled.)

(Mamoru and Michael nodded their forgiveness and started to examine their surroundings. They had stumbled onto the palace kitchen. The whole place was on overload for the engagement party. There was food to the ceiling.)

(Since they haven't eaten in around a day and a half, Mamoru and Michael started pigging out at the buffet table. Sailor Saturn shrugged her shoulders and made herself a sandwich. An hour and a couple thousand calories later....)

(Mamoru and Michael started laughing uncontrollably at the mental image of the two of them, and Usagi, at a County Fair Pie Eating Contest. After they regained their composure, the three of them started checking the hallway for guards and pissed off Senshi.)

(They slipped out of the room, one at a time. Mamoru was look out while Michael and Saturn were close behind. After a few twists and turns, they entered the throne room.)

(Mamoru and Michael formed a defensive stance and tried to locate the source of the voice. Sailor Saturn recognized it, though. It was Princess Neptune.)

(Sailor Neptune emerged from the shadows, in front of the door to the crystal chamber. Sailor Pluto cut off their retreat in the rear. Sailor Uranus blocked a side door.)

(Mamoru underwent his transformation sequence. His clothes were replaced with his tuxedo and a mask appeared on his face. When it was done, Tuxedo Kamen stood, ready to fight.)

(Tuxedo Kamen stood ready to fight Sailor Neptune.)

(Sailor Uranus had summoned her space sword and pointed it in Michael's direction.)

(Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn faced each other. Sailor Pluto had a mixed look of shock and disappointment.)

(Tuxedo Kamen, Sailor Saturn, and Michael stood back to back as they waited for the Outer Senshi to attack. Fortunately, they were hesitant to strike at Princess Saturn. Unfortunately, Sailor Uranus was still majorly pissed. She slashed out with her space sword.)

(Michael squeaked and lept up in time to avoid the wave of energy sent by Sailor Uranus. This set the whole room into combat mode. Sailor Neptune pulled out her mirror and aimed it at Tuxedo Kamen.)

(Before she could finish her incantation, Tuxedo Kamen threw a rose that knocked the mirror from her hand. Before Tuxedo Kamen could attack with his cane, Sailor Neptune lept at him, and nearly broke his jaw with a right hook.)

(Meanwhile, Sailor Saturn and Sailor Pluto were trading strikes back and forth from their staffs. When they got tired of that, they started up with special attacks.)

(The crackle of energy was keeping everyone on their toes as they dodged the immense power Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn were unleashing. Michael took this opportunity to wrest the space sword away from Sailor Uranus. He decked her pretty hard and ran away with the sword. This didn't stop her, though.)

(The floor from underneath most of the fighters started to quake and, thankfully, knock them away from the energy ball. It exploded and knocked out most of the wall nearby. People who were curious at all the noise started running for their lives as the battle spilled out into the ballroom.)

(Tuxedo Kamen summoned a whole bouquet of razor roses and threw them at Sailor Neptune. She dropped to her knees, rolled away, and came up with her mirror.)

(Tuxedo Kamen, Sailor Uranus, and Michael managed to dodge the huge wall of water before they were hit. Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn weren't so lucky. The wave of water washed them into the next room.)

(Sailor Uranus suffered the indignity of having to roll away from her own attack. She came up to counter attack, but couldn't see Michael. The blow to the back of her head knocked her unconscious. When Sailor Neptune glanced at this, Tuxedo Kamen smashed his cane over her head. She crumpled to the floor with a dazed expression on her face.)

(The floor under Michael's feet exploded, sending him flying towards the wall. Tuxedo Kamen managed to keep Michael from a nasty conclusion with a lucky snag.)

(Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars, and Sailor Mercury rushed into the room. Tuxedo Kamen and Michael, not about ready to give up, adopted battle stances.)

(Everyone readied their attacks.)

(Suddenly, a wave of magical energy flowed into the room, stopping all attacks. Since just about everyone had braced themselves, they all fell over when their power didn't activate.)

(From the rear entrance, Queen Serenity entered the room, carrying the Crescent Moon Wand and Silver Imperium Crystal. She was flanked by Luna, Artemis, Sailor Pluto, and Sailor Saturn. The Inner Senshi bowed immediately. Tuxedo Kamen and Michael braced themselves for another attack.)

(The inner senshi got up. Tuxedo Kamen and Michael visibly relaxed.)

(She winked knowingly in Tuxedo Kamen and Michael's direction.)

(With that explanation firmly in place, the Sailor Senshi apologized to Tuxedo Kamen and Michael, and shook their hands. When Sailor Uranus came around, she tried to choke out Michael. It took most of the Inner Senshi to pull her off of him.)

[Michael: (jokingly) I guess this means the engagement is off?]

(Sailor Uranus made another attempt at Michael's throat when the Sailor Senshi hauled her back. Tuxedo Kamen shook his head with a smile on his face.)

(Mamoru and Michael were invited to stay at the palace for the next couple of weeks if they promised not to try to steal the Silver Imperium Crystal again. They agreed and the palace went back to preparing for the engagement. Things went smoothly and the palace started preparing for the wedding ceremony. Mamoru and Michael got a chance to apologize to Endymion and Beryl. It took most of the Sailor Senshi to pull Mamoru and Michael away from choking out Queen Beryl. While they waited, Mamoru and Michael got to enjoy the sights and mingled with guests at the parties. Mamoru found himself talking to Prince Endymion and Princess Serenity.)

(Mamoru had a sad smile on his face. They had no idea what was going to take place tomorrow.)

[Endymion (noting his discomfort): Why are you so sad?]

[Mamoru (to himself): And if Michael and I can get out of here soon, you'll have no idea HOW happy it's gonna make me.]

(At the other end of the party, Michael handling things his own patented way. He had just got finished getting shot down by Princess Mars and had cornered Princess Venus near the punch bowl.)

[Michael (thinking): Don't say brother. Don't say brother. Don't say brother.]

[Michael (thinking): Don't say sister. Don't say sister. Don't say sister.]

(The next day, Mamoru and Michael got up early and met Queen Serenity and Sailor Pluto near the entrance to the palace. The entire Sailor Senshi were there to bid them a fond farewell. Queen Serenity used the Crescent Moon Wand to envelop Mamoru and Michael in an energy ball and propelled them to the still open Time Gate they had opened with Setsuna's staff. As they were almost there, the palace exploded in a burst of nega-energy. Just before the gate closed with them in it, Mamoru and Michael heard a voice.)

(Mamoru and Michael exchanged glances in the Time Warp.)

(Eventually, the Time Warp deposited Mamoru and Michael in Setsuna's apartment, moments after they had left. She was standing there in full costume and had a sad expression on her face.)

(She placed a hand on Michael's shoulder..........and kneed him in the groin.)

(He collapsed in a heap. Mamoru started chuckling...until Pluto whacked him upside the head with her Time Staff. She started beating them with it as they tried to escape out the door.)

(An immense explosion blew out the windows in Setsuna's apartment.)
