His name was Dr. Kullen. He had been studying the people on a planet much like Earth. Á ÁHe began his report. "Captain, this planet is much like Earth during the late 20ÃÃthÄÄ century. They use satellites and the technology of the time. The geography is remarkably similar to Earth. The countries, which use the same languages have the same history with two exceptions. There are minor discrepencies in the region of what we call Japan and China." Á ÁCmdr Data tilted his head. "What type of discrepency do you mean?" Á ÁDr. Kullen seemed to weigh his words carefully. "In my five year stay I have seen a number of what I can only call monstors attack the citizens of Japan." Á Á"Monstors?" Captain Picard asked dubiously. Á ÁDr. Kullen looked resigned. "They sometimes take the forms of animals or magical creatures. In the begining these cretures seemed to be bent on gathering energy. However, after a few such attacks a "hero" I suppose you would call her appeared. She called herself Sailor Moon. She couldn't have been more than fifteen. Using her tiara she could kill some of these. A young man helped her, calling himself Tuxedo Mask." Á Á"What did the populace think of this?" Counselor Troi asked. Á Á"Actually, they seem to think this is very ordinary. They willretreat and then continue on their way once the conflict is over." Kullen answered. Á ÁWorf looked dubious. "Two people, children at that, have been taking on these creatures by themselves?" Á ÁKullen shook his head. "She gained allies. Within two months there were five of these "Sailors". Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus. In two years they were joined by Sailors Uranus and Neptune who were both older than the rest. Sailor Saturn arrived soon after, but she was very young. Sailor Pluto would sometimes aid them. And lastly there was a young child called Sailor Chibi©Moon, which means "Little Moon"." Á ÁDr. Beverly Crusher leaned forward. "Do you think they are human?" Á ÁWorf cut in before Kullen could answer. "What means of attack do they use?" Á ÁKullen answered Worf first. "They each have a set of attacks that are based off some type of energy. Doctor, I'm not sure. I have witnessed some very odd happenings. Many of the people in Japan display extra endurance. For example, in a district called Nerima, a number of martial artists consistantly punch, punt, or kick people high in the air. The victims of this return, generally unhurt." Á Á"You also mentioned China." Riker said. Á ÁKullen nodded. "There is a tribe of amazons in China which call themselves the Joketsuzoku. They did not exist in our history. Also a martial arts training ground which is said to be cursed. If fall in one of the many pools you will change into whatever drownedÔ h)Ô there last when splashed with cold water. I am unsure of the validity of this." Á ÁPicard nodded and got the point. "What is our mision?" Á ÁKullen was relieved to have the dubious looks soften as the subject changed. "A colleague of mine is believed to have started a smuggling trade on the planet. We cannot find him and some unique items off planet." Á ÁPicard nodded again. "I'll send an away team to investigate. Riker, Data, Geordi, Deanna, Beverly, and Dr.Kullen will go down to the planet at oh eight hundred." Á ÁEveryone nodded and stood, recognizing the dismissal. Kullen said, "I have programed the computer with the clothing of Japan. I strongly suspect he is set up there." Everyone nodded and went back to their posts. * Á ÁPicard tapped his communicator as it beeped. Riker's voice said, "Captain to the bridge." Á Á"On my way," he responded and headed out from his ready room. He stepped out. "Yes?" Á ÁRiker pointed to the main viewscreen. "Look." Á ÁPicard turned and was very surprised. He could swear he was bacl in sector 001. Á ÁKullen stepped forward. "There are the same set of planets with the same distance. They are called the same as back home, including earth." Á Á"Incredible," Picard said. "How is this possible?" Á ÁKullen shrugged. "In the last five years I have written the word impossible out of my vocabulary." Á ÁData turned in his chair. "Captain, a small borg vessel just landed in a forest on the planet. It is in an isolated region of China." Á ÁPicard immediately shifted into battle mode. "Worf, take an away team and if you can, head off those borg from the population." Á ÁWorf nodded and ran to the turbolift. * Á ÁWorf appeared on the planet with a team of twenty security officers, none wearing red shirts. He saw that there was a small encampment. A borg, who had once been a young teenager was guarding a pile of containers. Also a shield covered most of the encampment. Worf motioned for the security men to spread around them. Then he fired on the shield generator. Á ÁThe borg, alerted of their presence, fired in return. The female borg was taken down by Worf before she could adjust her shields. He dropped an isolinear tag so she could be beamed up and pressed farther in. Á ÁIn a matter of moments the borg present were unconscious or dead. Worf was just going over to look in the containers, but he saw at least fifty borg circle them. He cursed. Loudly. Á ÁBefore either could react otherwise to each other a voice called out, "Deto Scream!" Á ÁA purple ball of energy took out two advancing borg and vaporizing them. Worf turned to see the Sailors land in a circle. A girl with brown hair, wearing a green, white, and pink uniform grinned at him. "Want some help?"Ô h)ÔŒÁ ÁA girl with blond hair done in an odd stlye stepped forward and opened her mouth, but one in red cut her off as the borg began their attack. "Not now, odango! Fight!" Á ÁThe one in green held her hands together as a lightning rod grew out of her tiara. She yelled out, "Supreme Thunder!" Large bolts of lightning shoved baack several more borg. Á ÁThe one in red held her arms out as a bow of fire appeared. "Mars Flame Sniper!" Ten fire arrows
