Disclaimer and Notes:
O.K. Hi everybody, the wierdo's here, and I have stuff to say...
I don't really mind any opinions on my stories and I love mail so
send me all your flames, praise, body parts, whatever... I still use
the Japanese names and always will, so tough to anybody who doesn't.
Sailor Moon is not owned by me... the Windhaven senshi are though so if
you take them I'll murder you in your sleep.  I do like (actually I
worship) Haruka and Michiru so if you have problems with them
don't read this story because they come in about halfway through it.
O.K. enough wid' this, read the dang story!  I mean it!!!!!

				The Astral Abduction

	Usagi ran down the sidewalk, panting heavily.  She was late for
school again.  As she burst into the classroom, she breathed a sigh of
relief.  The sensei wasn't there yet.  She collapsed in her seat and
gasped when she realized that in her rush to school, she had forgotten
her homework!  She began rummaging around in her desk, hoping to
find a piece of paper and a pencil and maybe do it before the teacher
got there (I think we all know that feeling).  She heard footsteps in the
hall and sat up just in time, because at that moment the sensei walked
into the room followed by...    the THREE LIGHTS!!!?? and a girl
with silver colored hair.
	The sensei walked to the front of the room and cleared her
throat.
	"Before we begin class today, I have a few announcements
to make." she said, "First, the Three Lights had their arrangement
canceled and returned to our school."
	Usagi made a mental note to ask them why they had come
back after school.
	"Second, we have a new student, Chikute Atsuko.  Please
make her feel more welcome here.  Now, about yesterday's
homework..."
	Usagi wasn't listening to her sensei.  She was staring at
Atsuko-san.  The silver-haired girl had piercing dark violet eyes
which seemed to look through people.  That wasn't what attracted
Usagi's special attention though.  The girl seemed to practically
radiate power.  Almost as if she were a sailor senshi...
*******************************************************
	During lunch, Usagi sat with Ami, Makoto, Minako, Seiya,
Taiki and Yaten.  As it turned out, Princess Kyakuu had been killed
by a mysterious evil being who called herself Galdar.  Before she
died, she had told them to protect Princess Serenity and her planet
when she was gone (Blech, I know it's stupid, bear wid' me till the
cool part.).  Usagi was happy, but the rest of the senshi thought that
the Starlights should have just stayed home so that they wouldn't
mess everyone's routine up.  The other (far more interesting) topic
of discussion, the new students.  As it turned out, there were not
just one, but three new students at Juuban High School.  The
silver-haired Chikute Atsuko in Usagi's English class, a girl with
short, aqua hair called Shitoku Kachi in Ami's math class, and the
blond, ponytailed, Moyasu Sora who Makoto had met at a track
meeting.  All three girls were somewhat distant and Kachi tended
to ignore people. Mako-chan said that Sora was actually quite
friendly once you broke down her shields and announced that she
was going to get ice cream with her that afternoon.  Usagi made a
mental note to herself to hold a senshi meeting about the new
students as soon as possible, and to ask Rei for a fire reading.
No enemy was going to catch her off guard this time!
*******************************************************
	Kachi wandered though the hallways of her new school.
-She- had to be in this city somewhere. She had felt -her- aura.
Besides, if she didn't find -her- soon, all of their planet would be
destroyed.  She could not fail.  Her only objectives were to find her
fellow guardians and her princess.  That was all.  She must not fail...
	Wham!  Kachi had been so absorbed in her thoughts that she
ran straight into someone.  She looked up at the person she had
bumped into and was caught off guard.  Scared, she turned and fled
without apologizing to the astonished (and now mad) Moyasu Sora.
Behind her she could hear the girl muttering.
	"Jerk!  She could have at least apologized!"
	"Sora, don't let her get to you.  She's just stuck up.
	"Nani Kuso!  I'm going to be late for class because of that pig!"
	"Not if you really hurry. Come on and just forget it."
	"You're too nice Atsuko, and that's gonna get you killed one
of these days..."
********************************************************
	Sora was strolling home from her first day at Juuban High with
Atsuko.  She had really been nice to her when that jerk, Kachi, had
crashed into her in the hallway, knocking her down.  As she thought
about that particular part of her not so good day, she noticed that
Atsuko was no longer walking with her.  She quickly whirled around,
expecting danger and saw Atsuko standing behind her with a funny
smile on her face.
	"I'm glad I finally found you, Frostfire." Atsuko remarked
casually, as if she was commenting on the weather.
	"Nani??!!  How the heck do you... I thought... I mean that..."
Sora stammered.  Then she realized -who- Atsuko was.  "Silverwing??"
	"Yep." Atsuko said, smiling at the other's discomfort.
	"How did you know it was me?" Sora asked curiously.  "Is
it that obvious?"
	"Baka, I can always tell my fellow guardians from normal
people.  I mean, yellow -was- your favorite color, plus there are a few
aqua hairs that you missed when you dyed your hair blond.  And it's
pretty obvious that you're wearing contacts, I'm sure that somewhere
under there are those pretty sky-blue eyes of yours.  Since you've
obviously been busy, have you found the rest of the team yet?"
Atsuko told her confidently.
	"No.  I was pretty sure that Kachi was Seastar until she yelled
at me.  My true sister would never ever do that!" Sora huffed,
remembering the day's unhappy incident.
	"Maybe she just didn't recognize you."  Atsuko said, trying to
soothe over Sora's hurt feelings.
	"Ha!  You did.  And she's my own sister for goodness sake!"
Sora exclaimed.
	"I guess.  But she looks so much like her.  The same hairstyle,
same hair color, even her eyes are the same color as Seastar's..."
Atsuko mumbled.
	"Hairstyle or not, she's not my sister.  And we need to find the
rest of the guardians and my sister so we can find our princess and
bring her back to Windhaven before it's too late."  Sora growled.
"You haven't forgotten our mission, have you?"
	"Of course not...  I wonder how Goldeye is doing back home..."
Atsuko wondered.
	" She's fine.  She got the easy job, remember?  All Goldeye has
to do is guard Windhaven 'till we bring the princess back."  Sora said.
	"I guess..."
*********************************************************
	"Usagi-Chan!!!!  Transform and get down to the arcade quick!!!!"
Ami, now Sailor Mercury, yelled by way of her communicator.
"There's some sort of monster here and it's terrorizing the civilians!!"
	Usagi nodded and flipped her communicator shut.
	"Moon Eternal, Make Up!!"  she yelled to the cool night air.
She twirled around until she was clothed in her sailor fuku attire,
complete with big white wings.  Shouldering past a few astonished
people on the street, she made her way down to the Crown Arcade.
	Before she reached the arcade,  people were already running the
other way yelling and screaming bloody murder.  These people were
obviously to frightened to even notice that she was Sailor Moon so no
one stopped her for press interviews on the way there.
	As she reached the scene of the fight, she found the inner senshi
battling a man in a dark cape with a long, threatening sword on a coal
black steed.  Sailor Moon's first reaction was to flee, but she steeled
her nerve and stood up tall and yelled,
	"Stop right there you bad guy!!!  Arcades are for having fun,
not fear, and you have ruined this happy afternoon of games for
young people!!  For that I can't forgive you!!!  For I am Sailor
Moon!!!  Tsuki ni kawatte...  OSHIOKYO!"
	"Sailor Moon!!!  You made it!!!" Venus yelled, "All right!!!"
	Jupiter whirled around to face the rider, who was laughing
maliciously,  "Buddy, you're toast!!!!!!" she yelled, "Jupiter Oak
Evolution!!!!!"
	The rider, somewhat stunned from the blast halted.
	"Now, Sailor Moon!" Mars yelled.
	Sailor Moon nodded.  "Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!!!!!!"
  she yelled.
The dark rider thing melted into a pile of muck, screaming (if you
could call it that) abysmally.
	"Ick."  Venus remarked.  "That was about the sickest thing
I've seen in a few years.  Let's get out of here."
	The other senshi nodded their heads in agreement and turned
to leave.
As they did, they found 2 senshi blocking their way.
	One of them had very short, aqua colored hair that was
slightly lighter that Neptune's.   Her sky-blue eyes matched the blue
and silver senshi uniform she was wearing.  Her high-heeled boots
came up to her knees and she wore a smug expression on her face.
	Her companion had straight, brown hair that fell all the way
down her back. This one's uniform was blue, green and yellow,
which complimented the girls chocolate colored eyes nicely.  Her
expression was at least a small bit kinder than the other's.
	The aqua haired one spoke first.  "Do any of you know any
of the Astral senshi?"  She asked, her tone sounding as if she was
convinced that they were suspects in a murder case who wouldn't talk.
	The senshi shook their heads simultaneously.
	 "Thank you for your time, then.  We won't inconvenience you
any more than we should." the brown haired girl apologized.
	"Matte!!!"  Sailor Moon cried, but it was too late, the
mysterious senshi had disappeared into the night.
	Jupiter was about to comment on this when her communicator
beeped.  Flicking it open for the others, she revealed Neptune's
worried face.
	"Sailor Moon!  There's some trouble at the Tokyo tower!!
We need you right away..." Neptune trailed off, leaving the
communicator black.
	"Come on, everyone!  Let's go!!!"  Mars yelled, breaking the
silence.
	They nodded and ran down the street to the Tokyo tower.
*******************************************************
	The breathless inner senshi arrived to find their worst
nightmare come true.  The buildings around the area were alight
and blazing.  Rubble covered the already ashen ground for a mile.
There were hundreds of riders like the one they had just fought.  In
the midst of it all, the outer senshi came into view.  Uranus and
Neptune stood back to back, torn bloody and wounded, supporting
each other enough to still attack.  Pluto and Saturn were not much
better off.  Saturn was kneeling among the bricks, no longer able to
stand.  Pluto was a few yards off, weakly hitting any riders that came
in range of her staff.
	The inner senshi immediately rushed to help them, but quickly
realized that it was a losing battle.  The stood their ground for ten
minutes before they started to give way under the merciless slashing
of the riders.  It seemed hopeless, and they felt as if they were going
to fail when it suddenly stopped.
	The senshi looked up, suprised and began looking about for
who had saved them.  Their eyes alighted apon a woman floating a
few feet off the ground.  She waved her hand to the riders and they
all moved backwards cautiously.
	She chuckled, "Don't kill them, yet, dearies.  They may have
valuable information for me."
	The senshi's hearts sunk as they realized that she was the one
controlling the riders.
	"Now." she said, turning her cold gaze on the girls beneath
her.  "Tell me what you know about the Windhaven Stones, and make
it quick.  I have little patience right now."
	The senshi looked at each other in confusion.  Windhaven
Stones?
	"Um, we don't know anything..."Sailor Moon stated slowly.
	"What?!" Her reply cut like a knife.  "Then you shall die!"
	"If you want the stones, you better do better than that,
Galdar!" A voice rang out.
	"Who's there?" Galdar said, spinning around.  "Who said that?"
	"I did." the voice continued.  "I don't know how you got
past Goldeye, but you certainly have made a big mistake on thinking
that you could take the Stones!"
	Galdar spun again, this time looking up.  She hissed as she
found the speaker.  The senshi, following her gaze, found two figures
standing on the roof of one of the few undemolished buildings.
	They were senshi.  The speaker, blond with a purple ribbon in
her hair wore a purple and pink fuku.  Her companion was taller than
she was.  This girl's hair was silver and fell to her shoulders.  Her fuku
was orange, red and purple.  Their expressions were smug and confident.
	The blond one began the introduction, "As a guardian of
Windhaven and as the protector of the Windhaven Fire Stone, I won't
let you distroy everything on the planet where our princess lives.  You
cannot be forgiven!  I am the senshi of fire, Sailor Frostfire!"
	Her companion continued, "I, as the guardian of the winds at
Windhaven and protector of the Windhaven Sky Stone will right the
wrongs you have committed!  I am the senshi of the winds, Sailor
Silverwing!"
	"Now," said Silverwing, jabbing her forefinger at the accused
bad guy.  "You're gonna get it!  Windstorm Flash!!!"  As she yelled her
attack, a spiral of blowing gusts ripped towards the riders on either side
of Galdar.
	Galdar, enraged screamed, "Dark riders, after them, don't spare
their lives!  Then bring their stones to me!!!!"
	"Flaming Tornado!!!!!" Frostfire's attack met the demons
halfway in a swirling mass of fire.  Those that hadn't been killed in
Silverwing's attack were immediately crisped.
	However even that did not deter the persistent demons.
Hundreds of them rushed up the building to where the two senshi
were standing.  As Frostfire swatted another away from her with a lash
of fire, they heard her yell something above the din:
	"I'm going!  As soon as it's up, jump!" as she said this, she ran
to the edge of the building and threw herself into the air.  She closed
her eyes briefly and they saw a flash of light at her neck.  Then, out of
nowhere, a net appeared and she landed neatly in it.
	Silverwing glanced over her shoulder, saw the net, and jumped
as well.  Her decent was spectacular, and she did several flips on the
way down.
	"Show off." muttered Frostfire as her companion landed beside
her.  Then to the astonished senshi around her, "Sorry!  We're leaving
so you can have some fun too, OK?"
	Then the two senshi vanished into thin air.
	The senshi turned, expecting to face the rest of the menacing
riders, only to find that they had disappeared as well.
	"Oh, well.  Less work for us." Sailor Moon said.  "I wonder
what a Windhaven Stone is?"
*********************************************************
	"HAYASHI!!!!" Kachi screamed, "There you are!"
	The girl with long chocolate brown hair stopped abruptly.  The
school uniform she was wearing was identical to Rei's.  She was also
carrying a black leather bookbag.
	"Oh, konnichiwa, Kachi!  Look, my house is just around the
corner, so we can talk about *it* there, okay?" she replied thoughtfully.
	"Okay!" Kachi agreed, hopping up and down.  "Can we have
some ice cream when we get there?"
	Hayashi sweatdropped.  "Uh, hai.  Whatever."
	They walked off (actually in Kachi's case, bounced) towards a
gray house on the corner.  When they reached the door, Hayashi took
out a silver key and unlocked it.  Once they were inside, they sat down
in two chairs, facing each other.
	"We didn't have much luck finding *them* last night, did we?
I wonder where they could have been?  My sister always helps people
who are in trouble.  Something must have kept her from being there...
and those so called sailor senshi were no help at all!" Kachi remarked
bitterly.
	"Frostfire can't be everywhere at once, you know.  Maybe
there was some trouble last night that we weren't aware of..."
Hayashi soothed.
	"Yeah, right.  Anyway, did you find anyone at your school
who might be one of them?" Kachi asked.
	"Maybe.  There's a girl named Rei who has a strong planetary
power about her, but I don't think she's one.  The Windhaven Stones
have a very distinct feel.  You?" she asked Kachi.
	"They're in my school, I think.  I thought one was coming
from a girl named Sora.  She even looks sort of like Frostfire except
her hair and eye color are all wrong." Kachi said.
	"You still took a picture of her right?" Hayashi asked.
	"Hai, here you go." Kachi handed Hayashi snapshots of all the
people she had felt large power sources from.  Hayashi thumbed
through pictures of:
	-Usagi wolfing down some ice cream
	-Ami reading a textbook
	-Minako singing with an imaginary microphone
	-Makoto unpacking her lunch
	-Taiki reading something
	-Seiya yelling at someone (possibly Yaten)
	-Yaten yelling at someone (possibly Seiya)
	-Haruka stepping out of her car
	-Michiru carrying her violin
	-Atsuko looking ready to punch someone
	-Sora studying
	Hayashi paused as she came to the last picture, studying it.
The blond girl certainly did resemble Frostfire.  She peered at the
girl's face hopefully.  At first she couldn't see anything.  Then she
notice a few aqua colored hairs on the girl's forehead.  So Sora's hair
was dyed!  But that still didn't explain her eye's unless...  she was
wearing contacts. That was it!  It all made sense.  Sora had to be
Frostfire.  She told Kachi of her suspicions, "She's Frostfire, all right.
Can you confront her?"
	"Well... you see, um, we didn't exactly hit off... I was kinda
rude to her..." Kachi trailed off dubiously.
	"Oh, well.  Just do it." Hayashi told her firmly.
	"Hai." Kachi agreed halfheartedly.
********************************************************
	A red haired girl, wearing what appeared to be a senshi fuku,
lay slumped against	the stone wall.  She was awake, although she
didn't show it.  Stirring, she gazed around the room, checking for life.
She found none.
	"Momo?  Momo-chan?  Where are you?" she called hesitantly.
	In reply a small black and white ball floated up.  The girl
pressed a button on the seemingly smooth surface and whispered.
	"Find Lady P.  Tell her that I needs her help.  Then find the
princess and...  tell her...   that I..." she paused, her head low, "...have
failed."
	The ball bobbed away and the girl resumed the slumped
position against the walls of her prison.
********************************************************
	Not far off, the woman known as Galdar chuckled to herself.
She would have her revenge on that annoying princess soon.  It was
the perfect plan.  Absolutely nothing could go wrong as soon she had
all of the Windhaven Stones in her possession.
********************************************************
	"Sora!!"
	Sora spun at the sound of her name.  She found herself face to
face with Kachi.
	"What do you want?" she growled defensively.
	"Nothing.  Just wanted to know why you're being so mad at
your own sister!"  Kachi said smiling.  "I was just in one of my moods
when we met."
	"Sister?!  You mean... you're actually Seastar?" Sora asked,
astonished.
	"Yep!  So give me a break, OK?" Kachi bubbled.  "Can we get
some ice cream to celebrate?
********************************************************
	"Mistfer!  Get over here!  Tell me what is going on here?!"
Galdar yelled at her most trusted advisor.  The blue haired girl
trembled as she approached her mistress.
	"Well, uh, Madam Galdar, it well, um, seems that your prisoner
has disappeared." Mistfer said hesitantly.
	"WHAT??????!!!!!!" Galdar roared.  "WHO WAS IN CHARGE
OF GUARDING HER????!!!!!  BRING THEM TO ME NOW!!!!!"
	"Yes, Madam." Mistfer said quietly.  "They will be executed
immediately."
********************************************************
	The girl stood, watching the bus leave.  Her clothes were plain,
and her red hair was soaked from the rain.  She looked out of  place
and her distinct lack of energy was depressing.  The taxi pulled up next
to her.
	"Where would you like to go, Miss?"
	"Juuban, please." she replied hastily.  She stepped into the cab,
and that was soon lost in the driving rain.
********************************************************
	Setsuna gazed at the black and white spotted ball for a long
time before looking up at Haruka and Michiru.  Her expression was
dismal and her eyes had suddenly lost there sparkle.
	"What is it?" Michiru asked cautiously.
	"Nothing yet.  However, I fear that it will be in a very short
time." Setsuna answered morbidly.  She stood suddenly and grabbed her
coat from it's peg.  "However, I'm not going to wait for it."
	"Wait, Setsuna.  Haruka and I will go with you." Michiru said,
stopping Setsuna as she was opening the door.
	"No.  You two must stay here.  I can't tell you why now, but
everything depends on your safety." Setsuna replied and with that, she
closed the door behind her.
	Haruka and Michiru looked at each other.
	"What in the world did she mean by that?" Haruka asked.
*********************************************************
	Setsuna walked briskly through the streets, worried.  If she didn't
find her soon... all would be lost.  The girl was the bait Galdar had set.
Now it all depended on if *she* had done the right thing, made the choice.
If she had, Setsuna knew that she had to find her before Galdar did.  The
girl was their last hope fore the battle.  As she stood there, musing about
her fate, a taxi cab pulled up in front of her.  The door was flung open
and a girl ran up to her.
	"Lady P!!!!!  You did get my message!  Oh, I'm so happy to see
you!" she gushed.
	"You're not hurt, are you?" Setsuna asked, worried.
	"No... just a couple scrapes, you know, the usual." the girl joked.
	"It was you're fault for choosing such a tough line of work."
Setsuna scolded.
	"You did too." the girl said.
	"I'm a lot older than you are.  I didn't have a choice anyway."
Setsuna said, looking away.
	"Oh, come on, Lady P, you know I enjoy it." The girl said.
	"That's no excuse for running off and getting captured by our
enemies as soon I turn my back."
	"And your back's been turned on me for what, 900 years now?"
the girl teased.
	"All right, all right.  You win.  You can stay t our house OK, Aiya?"
	"Tsk, tsk, Setsuna.  You have to call me by my Earth name now."
	"Well, what is it then??" Setsuna asked, slightly annoyed at how
Aiya had figured out her name without asking.
	"Gin'iro, Taiyoo." Taiyoo said.
	"You know, you can stop being my annoying little sister any time
you want now." Setsuna said.
	"But it's just so fun!!" Taiyoo protested.
*********************************************************
	The front door swung open silently as Setsuna and Taiyoo
walked in.
	"We're home!" Setsuna called.
	"We?  I thought that there were only four people living in this
house and three of them are here already... oh." Haruka trailed off.
	"This is Taiyoo Gin'iro.  She'll be staying with us for a while."
Setsuna announced.
	"Um, Setsuna... is this a good idea?  I mean we're Senshi, and
she'll find out sooner or later..." Michiru asked Setsuna privately.
	"Oh yes, it's all right.  I'll explain in just a second." Setsuna
reassured her.
	The four outer Senshi sat down on the various articles of
furniture in the living room.  Taiyoo sat next to Setsuna.  She
started quickly.
	"There's no need to hide the fact that you're Senshi from me.
I already know.  As to how, I'm also a Senshi.  I'm a guardian of the
planet Windhaven.  Recently we learned of an imposing attack on our
planet.  Thinking we had some time, four of us left to find our princess
on Earth.  However, we were wrong.  I had been left on the planet as
a sentry.  The attack caught me by suprise and I was not able to hold
my ground.  I was captured and Windhaven..." She paused to wipe a
hint of a tear from her eye, "...was destroyed.  I was then brought to
Earth where I escaped from my prison.  I contacted Setsuna and she
found me today.  I hope that's enough of an explanation." Taiyoo
looked up at them.
	"How do you know Setsuna?" Michiru asked quietly.  "If
you're comrades were here, shouldn't you have contacted them instead?"
	"I don't were my fellow guardians are right now, so I can't
contact them.  As to how I know Setsuna, she's my sister."
	"Nani?" exclaimed Hotaru.  "Setsuna-mama, why didn't you
tell us you had a sister?"
	"It never came up." Setsuna answered, smiling.
	"Well, since you are Setsuna's sister, we should try to help you
find your princess at least." Michiru told her.
	"You don't to do that.  I left out something when I told you my
story.  Windhaven has another name...      Uranus."
*********************************************************
	"The whole planet... I never even felt it... and it's all been
destroyed..." Haruka stared at the floor.  "I should have felt something,
should have been there..."
	"Princess, please.  No one blames you.  You haven't been to
your planet since the Silver Millenium." Taiyoo protested.  "I'm the one
who let it be destroyed, not you.  We can fix it up after we defeat Galdar
anyway.  We have the Stones to help us, plus your power."
	"Nani?  You can't just recreate planets, Tai-chan." Michiru told
her.  "It's impossible."
	"No it's not.  We've done it before.  All we need is for the
princess to figure out how to use her true power and Windhaven will be
as good as new!" Taiyoo exclaimed.
	"What?" Haruka asked.
	"When Uranus was destroyed by Beryl in the Silver Millenium,
you used the power of our planet to put it back to gether.  I'm afraid I
don't know quite how you did it, but I know it requires the power of
the five Windhaven Stones and the power you draw from the planet
itself.  I don't know anything else about it.  You just have to remember."
Taiyoo explained.
	Then... simultaniously all five of their beepers turned on.  Taiyoo
flipped hers open.  "Trouble, Momo?  All right we'll be there right away."
	The others were others were already transformed, they watched
curiously as she did hers.
	She pulled out a stone that was so bright, it burned their eyes.
Her symbol, a white 'Eye of Horus', flashed briefly and then, there she
was, clad in a black and yellow fuku with black ankle boots.  Her hair
was done up in two buns, and the rest of her hair fell in ringlets to her
shoulders.
	"Ready?  Then let's go!" she asked, then she waved her hand
breifly and they were transported to the scene of action immediatly.
*********************************************************
	"How did you do that?" Michiru asked, astonished.
	"What? Oh, that.  I simply moved the mass of your bodies to the
coordinates I specified.  Very useful." Taiyoo explained briefly.
	"Ah." they all replied, not understanding at all.
	Once again the outer senshi witnessed Galdar appearing from the
clouds in the reddening sky.  The inner senshi were there too by this time,
and so, to everybody's suprise, were the Astral senshi.
	"Goldeye!  We were so worried about you, when we felt Windhaven
collapse... we thought you might have..." Seastar sputtered.
	"Nevermind that now.  We have work to do." Goldeye cut in.
	"But we haven't found the princess, and we..."
	"The princess is right here." Goldeye said, guesturing to
Uranus.  "No problems about that.  Now move!"
	The Astral senshi immediatly teleported off.  Their positions
had been strategically worked out in a matter of seconds.  Taiyoo, who
hadn't told the outer senshi that she was a telepath, had given them their
instructions as she was simultaniously explaining things to the outer 
senshi.
	Then, as one dark shape, the riders surrounding Galdar attacked.
Galdar herself was delivering firebolts in every direction.
	The Senshi tried to counter her attack, but failed grieviously.
Their attacks just didn't hurt the riders, and the riders did a lot of 
damage
with their swords.  Soon, the senshi's numbers were cut in half.
Tuxedo Mask was down, by his side was Sailor Moon, hurt also.
Saturn was limping, but refused to be overcome.  Mercury was laying 
unconsious
and StarFighter wasn't moving at all.  StarHealer wasn't exactly fighting 
fit
either.
	The Astral senshi began their attack then.  Their magic swept across
the riders like a hell hound, not one of them survived.  Goldeye in 
particular
caught the Senshi's eye, because she wasn't doing anything.  She had a
determined look on her face, but she stood quite still.  Her hands were
clenched tightly, although they were doing no attack.  Then they noticed
Galdar was standing opposite from Godeye in the same position.
	"Shimatta!" Frostfire yelled.  "Goldeye this is stupid!  You'll
get killed!"
	Everyone suddenly knew what was going on.  There was an enormous
psychic battle going on between the two people.  Neater of them had
backed out yet, but Goldeye had been the one who had lost last time.
	Then it was all over.  Goldeye lay on the pavement, not moving.
Galdar stood above her, crowing triumphantly.
	"You thought you could beat me, Little one?  Don't forget, I
destroyed your precious planet last time and you were too weak to stop
me then too!" Galdar walked over to where the fallen senshi lay and
rammed her staff into the girl's body.
	Goldeye cried out softly before her body relaxed completely.
Galdar kicked her and she rolled to a stop in front of the others, dead.
	Neptune covered her mouth in horror as she witnessed Goldeye's
mutilated corpse.  Her partner, however, had a completely different 
reaction.
	"You may be strong, Galdar, but the strength of my anger far outweighs
that.  You can't just murder people with no consequence.  Your consequence
will be painful, I promise!" Uranus yelled.
	Without completely realizing what she was doing, she pulled out her
henshin pen and waved it in front of her.  To her and everyone else's 
suprise,
it transformed into a dark blue crystal.  Uranus jabbed it at Galdar 
savagely,
not expecting it to hurt her.  It did much more than that.  In seconds 
Galdar
had melted into oblivion just like the rest of her minions.
	"Goldeye!" Pluto was already by her sisters side when the dust had
cleared.  "Please, please don't be dead..."
	As though by some miracle, her chest rose slightly and her body shuddered.
	"Princess?" Goldeye asked tentatively.
	"I'm here." Uranus answered immediatly.
	"I want you to know... that I was very honored to *cough* fight
for you today... I can now die knowing that my princess was worth serving...
thank you."
	Her frail body shivered one last time and then she was still forever.
