Chrissey Sailor MoonD (Since I have unfortunately only experienced the Cartoon Network Sailor Moon, I don't know when who came in (Like with the Outer Senshi and the Starlights). However, I AM going to include the outers. I would REALLY appreciate it if you tell me how I did the Outers wrong so I can fix it. This took between Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon R. I apologize if it's awful because it's my first fanfic) Rebirth of a Moon Star ******************************************************************************************** One thousand years ago, the Moon was peaceful place. It was protected by the Sailor Scouts, and nine people that even Queen Serenity didn't know about. These people were the Defenders, trained by the Queen of the Sun. When the Negaverse hit, the defenders were fighting. They had managed to save the Earth for a while but they could not get to the moon in time. When they DID get there, It seemed they had come too late. "I won't let it end this way." Serenity said. "I won't let them take my daughter." With that, she held up her wand and said... "Cosmic Moon Power", trapping the Negaverse, the Sailor Scouts, the and the Defenders, sending them to earth. And so, our story begins. ******************************************************************************************** "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm late for school aGAIN!" When the alarm clock rang, Serena jumped out of bed and rushed around, getting ready for school. She ran in and nibbled her toast, took her lunch, said bye to her parents, and ran out. * * * On the way to school, Serena felt as if she was being watched. She started whistling and sped up, but she couldn't shake off that feeling. When it got to her, she turned around slowly, looking around. After a while, she saw two eyes looking at her from a bush. She gaped and stared at the eyes. She then noticed a crescent moon above the eyes. She freaked and ran. Running to school. She couldn't shake that feeling. She thought it was her cat, Luna, but it was too big. * * * When she got to school, she started talking about the new restaurant that opened. It was supposed to be pretty cheap and have great food. "Oh Serena." Molly said. "That's the only thing you ever worry about. Food" Serena just grinned. Miss Haruna walked in and started class, but all Serena could think about were those eyes. And that crescent moon on its forehead. When school ended, she begged Molly to walk home with her. Molly said she couldn't because she had to help at her mom's jewelry store today. Serena scowled. Then, she noticed almost everyone else had left. She looked around desperately for someone her age. She walked over to a girl with very short hair and blue eyes (Ami). "Hi!" She said, grinning. "I'm Serena." "Oh. Hello. My name's Ami." "I know this may sound kind of rude of me, but...." Suddenly, Serena spoke quickly and sounded desperate. "Could you PLEASE walk home with me? On the way to school I was being watched by some freaky eyes!" Ami's eyes went wide. "I was too! I'd be glad to walk home with you." "Great!" Serena said, grinning. * * * The two of them started walking down the street, but Serena was feeling more watched than ever. Apparently Ami was too, because she was fidgeting with the ribbon on her uniform. "Ami?" Serena asked "Are you feeling watched now?" Ami nodded, looking kind of freaked out. They turned around slowly and saw two pairs of eyes in the bushes. A pair of blue eyes with a crescent moon, and another pair of blue eyes with the sign of mercury. Serena yelled "RUN FOR IT!" But Ami stopped her. "The only we we're going to stop being watched is if we find out what they want." She said. "Oh yeah, sure. Lets just go up to these things, ask what they want, then they point a gun to your head and say 'Take me to your leader.' Great plan Ami" Serena said sarcastically. "Well it might work. I'm trying." Ami carefully walked towards the eyes. They faded back a little into the bushes. "Don't worry." She said. "I won't hurt you." The eyes came forward a bit, looking a little worried and scared. "What do you want?" Said Ami. The eyes looked at each other, then one pair, the one with the crescent moon, spoke. "We have come for you and Serena." it said. Serena gave her a "Told you So" look. The voice continued. "We were there the day you two were d.... Never mind. You wouldn't remember. I don't think. Talk to Luna. Ask her about Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury." "Luna?" Ami asked, confused. Serena laughed. "That's my cat, but she can't talk!" They turned back to ask the eyes what they meant, but they had disappeared. Ami said "Maybe we should try to talk to Luna. Find out what they meant." "Nooo way. Sammy would annoy me for the rest of my life if I tried to talk to a cat." "Well it's worth a try." * * * When they got to Serena's house, they snack upstairs where Luna was lying on Serena's bed. Serena stepped forward nervously. "Luna?" She asked, kind of scared. Luna looked up. "Yes?" Serena screamed and Ami gasped. "Y...You can talk????" Said Ami. "Well, yes. Long story. What did you girls want?" Serena was too scared to speak, so Ami did. "We saw two pairs of eyes and they told to ask you about Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury." Luna blinked. She thought Eyes? I don't remember any eyes. She asked the girls if there was anything else about the eyes. When Serena got her voice back, she told her about the crescent moon and the symbol of mercury. Luna was still confused, but so were the two girls. She decided to tell them their identities. "Serena, Ami, you are two Sailor Scouts. Protectors of the planet Mercury and the Moon." She wasn't going to tell them about the princesses, she thought they should discover that for themselves. They blinked. Suddenly Serena understood. "OH! Like Sailor V????" Luna nodded. She jumped up and did a flip in the air. Down fell the mercury power stick and Sailor Moon's locket. "Serena, put this on." she said. "And Ami, take that stick and hold it up in the air." They blinked and took their objects. "Now, Shout Moon Prism Power and Mercury Power" "Okay." Said Serena. "Here goes. Moon.... Prism.... POWER!!!!!!!" Serena transformed into Sailor Moon. "WHOA!" She said, looking at her clothes. Ami blinked and clutched her stick. Then she held it up and shouted "Mercury Power!!!!!!" She transformed into Sailor Mercury. "Wow!" She said. Luna smiled at them and said "Now you mustn't let anyone know about this and you must only use this to fight evil." They nodded. Luna herself was actually very worried. Why did the eyes tell them about Sailor Moon and Mercury? Is there evil here again? * * * While the girls were talking, Luna slipped outside to find the eyes and ask them. When she felt she was watched, she turned and POW! There were the eyes and the crescent moon, looking at her from the bushes. Luna timidly walked towards them. "W...Why did you tell those girls who they were? Is there evil here again?" She asked. The voice spoke in a crystal like voice. "Yes Luna. Great evil. Every defender is watching the scout of their planet. But after we fight the battle, no one shall remember anything about this. Not even you." Luna blinked. "What evil? What's happening?" "We cannot tell you yet. Just be careful. The universe is in danger." Heat Wave "Geez, it's HOT!" Serena and Ami were sitting in front of Serena's house fanning themselves off. Molly walked by and Serena yelled for her. "Hey Molly!" She shouted at Molly walked over. "Where're ya going?" "You didn't hear? There's a new pool that just opened down the street. I'm going down to check it out." "Great idea!" Said Serena. "Let's go!" She grabbed Ami's hand and the three girls went to the pool. * * * When they got there, they saw the pool was already packed. They put on their bathing suits and dived in. Of course, Serena had a klutz attack and did a cross between a belly-flop and a cannonball, splashing tons of people. "Watch it, Meatball head!" Came a cry from two people near by. Serena looked at them. "Geez. Sorry." As she looked at them, there was a girl about her age with long black hair and beautiful dark eyes. She was wearing a red bathing suit. The guy next to her Serena thought was totally dreamy. He had black hair and blue eyes. He looked WAY older than both of them. She was staring at him for a while. "Oh Geez." Said Molly. "Serena's in love again. What about Andrew, Serena?" With that, Serena snapped out of it. "I.... I still like Andrew. But I like this kid more" She whispered. Molly giggled and Ami rolled her eyes. "Hi! I'm Serena! And you are?" She was excited about learning this guys name. "Rae." Said the girl, and she shook her hand. Serena growled. "Are you always that clumsy Meatball head?" Said the guy. "No I'm not and my name is Serena." She said through clenched teeth. The guy laughed and extended his hand. "I'm Darien." Serena instantly shook his hand and smiled, looking lovesick again "It's a pleasure to meet you Darien." Then, her hand slipped from the side of the pool where she was holding on to stay up and she fell under water, splashing all of them again. She could hear the voices above water yelling at her, but she was paying attention to something else. Four pairs of eyes were looking at her and apparently the people above. They had the crescent moon, a picture of the Earth, the sign of Mercury, and the sign of Mars. She was staring at them for the longest time. Then, a hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her up. Darien let her go and they were all giving her the strangest looks. "Wow!" Said Molly, "You were sure under there for a long time!" "Oh yeah. Sorry about that." She said. Then, she whispered to Ami, "The eyes were under there. And there were two more." Ami whispered back. "You did? We'd better check it out." They were about to investigate when Rae started freaking out. "What's that? I feel a force here! I won't have forces ruining this pool! Yaaaah!" Then, she punched Serena in the face and Serena went unconscious. Seconds after, she turned beet red. "Sorry. I messed up this time. Usually I'm right on but this time I was WAY off." * * * Later, after they got her out of the pool and onto a chair, they were trying to wake her up. Ami was fanning her, Molly was talking to her, Rae was shaking her, and Darien was checking her pulse and slapping her hand. Finally, Serena groggily woke up. "Huh? Wha happen? Did the eyes l--" Ami covered Serena's mouth. "It's all right Serena. I felt something really strange and tried to fight it. Apparently I need to work on my aim. Sorry." Said Rae. Although none of them knew it, Luna had followed them there and was looking through the gate around the pool. She wasn't looking at them, though. She was looking at the four pairs of eyes watching them from the shadows. Mercury, Mars, Moon, and Earth.. Hmm. Oh! Darien and Rae! Earth and Mars! I need to give Rae her stick." With that, Luna leaped into the air with a grunt, did a flip, and the stick of Mars fell towards the ground. She grabbed it in her mouth and hopped over the gate. Luna stealthily walked over to Rae and dropped the stick beside her then tried to walk off without being noticed. She smiled. I think I'm going to make it! "LUNA!" shouted Serena. Or not. Luna reluctantly walked over to Serena. * * * After the five of them finished talking, Luna, Serena, and Ami headed back to Serena's house. After Darien dived back in the pool, Rae was about to leave. But then she saw the stick. Wow! She thought. This is beautiful. I wonder what it's.... Then, a memory rushed back to her.... ******************************************************************************************** "I'll help you on this assignment if you want" Said Ami. "You are so stubborn! Let us help of I'll never talk to you again." Said Rae "Yeah, Let us help. Still too many guys to meet." Said Lita with a wink "Let us help. We haven't known each other long enough for it to end yet" Said Mina I do need your help thought Princess Serena. Then, hands reached out and joined hers on the Crescent Wand. "Mercury Power!" "Mars Power!" "Jupiter Power!" "Venus Power!" "Cosmic... Moon... POWER!" Shouted the Sailor Scouts. A giant pink ball of some sort shot from the wand and destroyed Queen Beryl, sending her back to the Negaverse ******************************************************************************************** Rae blinked. Could it be? She thought. I thought that was just a dream. But..... * * * On the way home, Rae felt very strange for two reasons. One, she had an urge to become Sailor Mars to see if it was real, and two, she felt like she was being watched. She cut into an alley and took out the stick. While she was examining it, she looked up to see two eyes looking at her. There was the symbol of Mars above them. She screamed and held up the stick. "Mars POWER!" she shouted. She transformed into Sailor Mars, but when she looked around, the eyes were gone. The First Attack Nine cloaked figures were sitting around a table. You recognized them as the Defenders. Unfortunately, you were unable to recognize anything but their eyes and symbols. Everything else was hidden by the cloaks. They were murmuring things quietly to each other. Then, a beautiful woman walked in. She seemed to glow. Her long golden hair fell to the ground, her blue eyes sparkled with happiness, her golden dress glistened in the light. The defenders stood up and she walked over to her seat at the head of the table. The defenders all sat down again and listened to her. "You've done well, Defenders." Said the woman. "We've found the inner Senshi and Tuxedo Mask. Three know they're Sailor Scouts. Thank you, Moon Defender, Mercury Defender, and Mars Defender." The three defenders nodded. "I regret to say we have been unable to locate Sailor Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto. Do not worry though, Defenders. We will find them. As for the latest news on the Twelve, Musica is about to strike Earth. We need to get some Defenders down there quick. Neptune, Jupiter, and Earth. Get ready. Remember to stay hidden." The three nodded and left the table. "Moon, Mercury, and Mars, get down there to help instruct the three Sailor Scouts." The three nodded and left the table. "All right. Get ready Defenders. She'll hit at any time" * * * Serena woke up "AAAAAAAAAAH! Not again!" She got dressed, ran downstairs, ate breakfast, got her backpack, and started to run out. "Serena!" said her mom. "It's all right mom! I'll buy lunch! I'm really late!" Serena ran to school. It was totally empty. Not even the principal was there. She was confused. She was walking through the school and stopped by the library doing. Ami was there! She walked in and sat next to Ami. "Hi Ami!" She said, smiling. "Where IS everyone." Ami blinked. "At home I'd imagine. It's a Saturday." "WHAAAAAAAT?" Serena practically fell over in her chair. Then she thought about it. "Oh yeah, huh." Then, they heard a crash from outside. "What was that?" "I don't know" Said Ami. "Let's go check." The two girls walked out of the library and down the hall. They saw the music room door open and looked inside. They saw the music teacher cowering back in the corner of the room. Then they saw why. A woman with a blue crop top with a criss-cross back and a long blue skirt with a slit up one side was standing over him. She had blue hair and blue eyes and she had white gloves that had music notes on them. Her white heeled boots looked the same. Serena was about to scream, but Ami covered her mouth and motioned for her to be silent. They went down the hall and transformed. "No!" Shouted the music teacher. "Leave me alone! What do you want from me?" The creature, apparently Musica, laughed "You'll soon find out!" She pulled out some sort of black wand topped with a figurine of a black sun. She chanted and waved the wand around and a black beam of light shot from it. It surrounded the music teacher and he started screaming, trying to fight it. "Hold it!" Came a cry from the door. "Huh?" Musica turned around. "I am Sailor Moon, the champion of Justice and Love!" Cried Sailor Moon. "And I am Sailor Mercury!" Cried Ami. "We are the Sailor Scouts! Together we shall right wrong and triumph over evil, and that means you!" They said. "Oh, I'm trembling." said Musica. Then, she jumped away from the music teacher and landed right in front of the Sailor Scouts. Right when the music teacher scrambled out of the room, she pulled out a black flute of some sort and started playing it. The girls started to fall asleep. Then, a giant burst of water knocked the flute to the ground. Don't listen to anything she plays or sings. It will make you vulnerable to her attacks. The girls nodded but they didn't know who to. They tried to figure it out but didn't have enough time. Musica picked up the flute again. "Mercury Bubbles... BLAST!" Shouted Sailor Mercury. A haze appeared around them and Musica couldn't see a thing. She tried to play but couldn't even see where her fingers were going. She growled and looked around. Serena caught a glimpse of Musica through the haze and took off her tiara. "Moon..... Tiara.... MAGIC!" she shouted and threw her tiara. She thought for sure Musica was a goner but Musica saw the tiara just in time and jumped out of the way. Unfortunately, the tiara had made a clear path in the haze and Musica could see Sailor Moon. "Good-bye Sailor Moon!" she shouted as she held the black wand out and sent a blast of black light towards her. A blast of flowers and leaves knocked it off its course and it went flying through a wall. "What?" She shouted. Don't give up. You can do this. Said a voice inside their heads. It was someone else. The girls were confused. "Mars..... Fire Ignite!" shouted a voice from the door. A burst of fire flew towards Musica. The Sailor Scouts turned around. "Sailor Mars!" they shouted. Musica was hit and blasted into a wall, feeling weak. The Sailor Scouts got together and started talking. "What are you doing here? Who are you? How did you know we were here?" asked Sailor Mercury and Sailor Moon. Mars laughed "I don't know. There was this voice inside my head telling me to come here. I did and I found you guys!" The girls talked for a while longer. Musica weakly stood up, her hand on her chest, obviously very seriously injured. "Sorry to spoil.... this peaceful moment.... but.... I've got..... some business.... to finish...." She held up the wand and was about to destroy them, when.... "You're Not ready, Musica. Wait a while. Then we'll get them. Come back." A voice spoke. It came from all around the room. The girls were confused, but Musica just glared at them "I'll.... be back...." Then, she disappeared into a black portal. "Wow." Said Sailor Mars. "That was amazing. I guess we're pretty strong." "Yeah, I guess." Said Sailor Moon, smiling. Sailor Mercury was just chuckling. Well-done girls. Others will come. Do not be afraid. said the voices in their heads. They nodded and walked out. When The Twelve Go Marching In Musica appeared in the palace of Darkness in front of Empress Cosmos. The Empress was not looking too pleased. She was glaring at Musica, waiting for her to explain herself. "Well?" "I'm sorry Your Majesty. I thought that the Sailor Scouts had forgotten their past. I didn't think they still were able to fight. Honest, Empress, I thought the Negaverse took care of that!" said Musica. "I'm sure you did, Musica." said Cosmos, not pleased at all. "I can't risk any more failures. I'm sending Storiana with you. That way nothing will go wrong." Musica groaned and Cosmos gave her a dirty look. "You WILL be successful this time. Or you'll have me to deal with. Beryl was a fool. She accepted too many failures, and it destroyed her." "I know, Empress. She was a fool. I will go with Storiana." Then she mumbled But I won't enjoy it. "I heard that, Musica." came a voice from behind Musica. She turned around just in time to see Storiana step out of a black portal. Storiana had long white hair and soft lavender eyes. She wore a short tight dress that was white with letters all over it. Her white gloves and white boots had a similar design. The choker around her neck had a little A on it and the belt she wore did too. Musica scowled. "Just leave me alone, Storiana!" Storiana grinned and looked at her innocently. "No can do Musica." She said. "I'd be disobeying Empress Cosmos." "Settle down you two!" said Cosmos. "Now go down to Earth and do your task." The two nodded and disappeared. * * * Ami, Rae, and Serena were sitting around at the temple while Luna was explaining things to them. Apparently she had seen the eyes a few times and talked to them. "From what I hear, those eyes are called the Defenders. Back during the Silver Millennium.... which I'll tell you about later.... they helped defend the Moon and their own planets from attack. They got to the Moon too late and were sent to Earth. Apparently it's headed by a queen, the Queen of the Sun or something. We are fighting a force called the Darkness and the Twelve. The Darkness is the actual thing and the Twelve serve it. Actually, and this is confusing, the Twelve serve Empress Cosmos who serves the Darkness." Serena blinked. "Okay.... Think of it as a bee hive. The hive is the Darkness. The Queen/Empress serves it. The Twelve are the bees under her." Serena nodded. "So when do you think they'll strike next? And how will we find out?" said Rae. "The only way we knew before was because Ami was doing extra credit and Serena had a klutz attack." Serena growled. Luna thought about this. "You know, I might have just the thing." She jumped up in the air and did a flip. Down fell the Crescent Wand. Luna grabbed it in her mouth and gave it to Serena "WHAT?" Shouted Rae. "How come SHE gets it?? She'll probably just loose it somewhere!" Serena ignored her and took the wand. "Well she IS the leader, Rae," said Luna. "So?" said Rae, still angry. "So what is this thing, anyway?" She said, turning it over in her hands. "It's the Crescent Moon Wand. It'll track down evil, heal things, find the princess, help with a certain attack.... It's very useful." Said Luna. Serena nodded and Rae got angrier. Ami just stood back and watched. Then, the wand started beeping. "Whoa!" said Serena. "What's happening?" "The wand!" said Luna, "It found evil! Just follow the wand." They took off after the wand and ended up walking across town. They were about to give up when they saw people running out of a nearby library. "Let's check it out!" said Ami. * * * The librarian was hiding under the desk from Musica and Storiana. The two evil women were ripping through the library, looking for her. Meanwhile, Rae, Serena, and Ami were watching from a window. "It's Musica!" whispered Serena. "Yes, and there's someone else with her!" whispered Ami. "This isn't looking good." whispered Rae. "Let's transform!" "Right!" confirmed Serena and Ami. Up went the sticks. "Moon Prism Power!" "Mercury Power!" "Mars Power!" shouted the scouts as they transformed. "Let's go!" said Ami and they rushed to the building. * * * "Leave me alone! I didn't do anything to either of you!" said the librarian. "Yes," said Storiana, "but you have something we want." "And we're not leaving till we get it!" said Musica as she pulled out the black wand. "Hold it right there you two timing creep!" "What?" Musica and Storiana looked up at the window to see the Sailor Scouts. Storiana mumbled "Goodie Goodie." "I am Sailor Moon!" shouted Sailor Moon "I am Sailor Mercury!" shouted (Guess who) Sailor Mercury. "And I am Sailor Mars!" shouted (Surprise Surprise) Sailor Mars "We're the Sailor Scouts!" they said together. "Together we will right wrong and triumph over evil!" from Sailor Moon. "And that means you!" they said together to finish the speech. Storiana smiled evily. "So your the Sailor Scouts! Blast 'em, Musica!" Musica narrowed her eyes at Storiana. "I can figure out what to do and when to do it thank you." The two women got in an argument. The librarian high tailed it outta there. Mars, Moon, use your fire and tiara together! It'll blast both of them! The girls blinked. "All right, here goes!" "Moon Tiara..... "Mars Fire..... MAGIC!" IGNITE!" A gold discus surrounded by fire shot towards the bickering women. Musica saw it just in time and blasted it away with a beam of black light. Then she turned back to Storiana and yelled at her for not paying attention to the battle. Storiana yelled about how it was her fault and they were right back where they started. Then, a rose flew down and landed right between the women. They looked at it and up at the window where they saw a man dressed in a tuxedo, cape, and top hat carrying a staff. Sailor Moon gasped. Wow, is he dreamy! she thought. Sailor Mercury saw her and rolled her eyes. Musica looked up at the man. "And who are you supposed to be?" "I am Tuxedo Mask!" he said. "Sailor Moon, the defenders and I will fight with you. Do not be afraid." And with that, he vanished into thin air. Storiana narrowed her eyes. Then she said in a low voice, "It's time to go. Come on Musica." They disappeared into a black portal. "Well done girls!" said Luna, who had been watching from the door. "You handled them well. I'm proud of you." Lightning Always Strikes Twice in the Same Place "Hey did you hear?" said Serena, looking up from a paper. "Hear what?" asked Ami. "Let me guess, there's a contest for 'Klutz Queen' and you want to enter." said Rae. "Humph." said Serena. "No. There's a cooking contest and they're hiring judges to sample the food! Can we do it? Please? It'll be great!" "I don't know," said Rae, "Luna thinks we ought to be fighting the twelve." "Yeah," protested Serena, "but she also is a cat who talks and has a crescent moon on her forehead. Come on, she's wacko! It'll be fun!" "It could be fun...." said Ami. "Do I have a vote?" asked Rae. "No." Said Serena cheerfully. "Okay then, let's go" said Rae as the three took off. * * * "Mmm!" said Serena, her mouth full of food. "This stuff sure is good! We should do this more often." Indeed, the scouts WERE having fun. They were sampling wonderful dishes by world famous cooks and amateurs. When Serena got to one dish, she tasted it, her eyes went wide, and she started eating all of it. "Geez, Serena! Let us have a taste!" yelled Rae. "Oh, sorry." said Serena, looking up from the plate. She passed it to her and Rae tried it. It WAS good. Rae ate a few more bites then passed it on to Ami. Ami loved it too and passed it on to the next judge. They tried more dishes that were no where as good as that one dish. When the judges voted, they all voted for the same dish. It was unanimous. As the woman in charge of the contest went up to announce it, Serena kept thinking she had seen her somewhere before. Her white hair..... her lavender eyes..... she just couldn't place it. Then she saw something behind the woman. A pair of eyes. Green eyes. With a 4 or something like that above it. Serena blinked and looked again, but it was gone. "And now, the winners of the cooking contest!" said the woman cheerfully. "April came in third place. Well done! In second place was Michelle. Way to go! And, the winner of the cooking contest is..... Lita! Congratulations! Now if you girls will come on up." Three girls, two blondes and a redhead, walked up to the stage. "So, April, tell us about where you learned to cook!" "Well...." said April, "I was at my grandma's house and we were going to make cookies. I was bad at first but I've learned to cook cookies really well." The woman hid a frown. "Well!" she said, "Isn't that interesting. Moving right along, we have Michelle!" "I have always been interested in cooking!" said Michelle, "I started at a very young age. I seemed to get the hang of it. I was pretty awful when I started, though." The woman hid another frown and moved to Lita. "I've always loved to cook!" said Lita, "I've been born with a talent I guess!" She said with a wink. With that, the woman smiled. "Great! Congratulations girls. If you will meet me in the room back there I'll give you your prize." said the woman. The girls headed towards the back room and people started leaving. "Come on, Serena." said Rae. "Let's go." "Can we at least congratulate the winners?" Serena said. Maybe they have some more dishes! She thought. The girls ended up waiting. When they heard a few screams, they went towards the back room and peeked in the window. There was a giant youma with Storiana and Musica standing behind it smiling. It had already frozen Michelle and April. Lita was the only one left. "I've had about enough of you!" shouted Lita. With that, she picked up the youma and threw it across the room. It knocked down Musica and Storiana and kept them down for a good few minutes. "Get off me you big oaf!" Musica pushed the youma off them and the two women headed for a portal. "Get the crystal and leave. Cosmos would freak if we had any more failures. Get out of here before those Sailor Brats arrive." "Hold it right there!" Musica, Storiana, the youma, and Lita looked up at the door to see Sailor Moon, Mercury, and Mars! "Goodie, the Sailor Brats." said Storiana. "Sorry to disappoint you girls, but we were just leaving! Ta Ta!" With that, the women disappeared out the portal. "It's a pleasure to meet you for the first and last time, Sailor Moon. I've heard much about you," said the youma, who looked very similar to a bunch of kitchen utensils packed into one. Sailor Moon was about to blast him when they saw the eyes of Jupiter again. She then looked at Lita. Could it be? she thought. Is Lita Sailor Jupiter? Well-done Sailor Moon! came a voice from inside their heads. Indeed, Lita IS Sailor Jupiter. "I am?" said Lita, raising an eyebrow. Yes. The fourth Sailor Scout. A stick fell onto the ground. Lita, put this up and shout Jupiter Power! "Okay..." said Lita. She had to laugh at the youma. He didn't know what the heck was going on because apparently he couldn't hear the voice. She held up the stick and shouted "JUPITER POWER!" Then Lita became Sailor Jupiter! Jupiter, use your thunder! said the voice. She was about to, but a huge black light shot towards her that came from the black wand with the sun on top. Lita screamed and jumped out of the way. Then she decided it was time for thunder. "I call upon the powers of Jupiter, help me defeat this evil! Jupiter..... Thunder..... CRASH!" A huge ball of lightning and thunder bursted towards the youma and it exploded. Well done, Jupiter. Well done. said the voice. Lita looked shocked. "Whoa, where did that come from?" Superstar "Storiana, Musica, come forth," said Empress Cosmos, not too pleased. "Yes, your majesty," said the woman as they stepped out of the portal. "You failed me again. I should abandon you, but I'm giving you one last chance. Just one." said Cosmos, "The Sailor Scouts are becoming a problem and we need to get rid of them. Since there are probably nine total and they only have four, they should be glad to look for some more. Sailor V, Sailor Venus I'm guessing, is quite a movie star. If we have her perform by fighting youmas, the Sailor Scouts are sure to be there. Then we can pinpoint them and destroy them." "Yes, but how will WE find Sailor V?" asked Storiana. "SILENCE!" boomed Cosmos, "I need to finish. We will create a Sailor V. The Negaverse created a Sailor Moon, Sailor V should be easy. Storiana, congratulations. You are the next Sailor V. Musica, since I know how much you two enjoy to bicker, you'll be the youma. Now go post some advertisements!" "Yes Empress." The women nodded and disappeared out a portal. * * * Serena shrieked in excitement. "Look! Sailor V's coming to town! She's going to perform! Come on, we have to see it!" "I don't know," said Luna, "We should be finding out about the defenders, not going to special performances." "But it's Sailor V!" Serena protested. Then, she got an idea. "She's a Sailor Scout Luna." Luna sighed at remembering Mina. "All right," said Luna. "Let's go. * * * Serena, Ami, Lita, and Rae were standing in the line for the Sailor V performance with Luna on Ami's shoulder. When they finally got in, they got a seat WAY in the back. After everyone got in, the doors were shut and locked. Strange. thought Serena. Right when Sailor V walked onto stage, the crowd screamed. Serena started to, but she got distracted. The Crescent Wand was beeping! There was evil nearby. She looked around and saw two things that made her feel uneasy. The first she thought was normal. The eyes with the sign of Venus above them. Sailor V's on stage, she thought, of COURSE the eyes are here. But then, she saw a girl looking angry. She thought it was a stalker after Sailor V and decided to keep her eye on her. She actually looked a lot like Sailor V herself. Long light blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, a red bow in her hair..... Then Sailor V spoke. "Welcome all to the Sailor V special! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!" Then, she pulled out some sort of small tool and scanned the audience. The scanner focused on four girls. Hmm. I think I caught them. thought Storiana with a smile. She and Musica fought a long awaited battle and Storiana was killing her. Then, it was intermission. Sailor V turned to the audience with a smile. "Thank you for watching the first half of our program. Please, everyone go outside and help yourself to some snacks, except for the girls in seats 196 through 200. Congratulations! Come up on the stage to meet Sailor V." Everyone left and the four girls stood up and walked towards the stage, really excited. Serena looked back for the stalker and the eyes, but both were gone. The girls reached the stage and Sailor V and the youma smiled evil, transforming into Storiana and Musica. "Congratulations Sailor Girls!" said Storiana, pulling out the sun wand. "Now here's your prize!" She shot a beam of dark blue light at the girls and it hit them, making a dome around them. "What the..... Luna! Luna, help!" cried Serena. Unfortunately, Luna was pigging out outside. The dome started squeezing in on them. Lita tried to break it, but she got electrocuted badly. The girls groaned and collapsed to their knees, getting weak. "Hold it right there you two-timing Darkness creep!" "What?" said Storiana and Musica as they looked to the window. There was Sailor Venus! "I am the REAL Sailor V! And since you hurt these girls in your pathetic attempt to destroy them, I will punish you!" she said. "Venus Crescent V..... SMASH!" A beam of yellow light shot at the dome and broke it open. "Thanks Sailor V!" cried Lita. "Moon Prism Power!" "Mercury Power!" "Mars Power!" "Jupiter Power!" cried the girls as they transformed. Sailor Moon cried, "You're going down! We're the Sailor Scouts, and on behalf of the Moon...." "...Mercury..." "...Mars..." "...Jupiter..." "And Venus!" "We will punish you!" Cried the scouts. "Oh, we're scared." said Storiana sarcastically. "You've spoiled our plans one too many times, Sailor Brats! Let's see how you handle this!" she pulled out a black flute and started playing it. The girls covered their ears. Mercury, your bubbles ought to do the trick. "Right! Mercury Bubbles....... BLAST!" cried Sailor Mercury. "What the....." Musica was confused. She couldn't see the flute and messed up, making the song loose it's spell. Then she smirked and started singing. Once again the spell started to work. Jupiter! Your thunder! "Good idea. I call upon the powers of Jupiter, help me bust this girl's voice box! Supreme Thunder.... CRASH!" A huge ball of thunder and lightning headed towards Musica, it blasted her into the wall and knocked her unconscious. "Way to go, Jupiter! Let me get a shot at this one!" said Mars. "Mars..... Fire IGNITE!" A huge ball of fire headed towards Storiana. Storiana laughed and simply side stepped. "I call upon the powers of Mars..... YAAAAH!" Then, she slammed an anti-evil scroll thing onto her forehead and paralyzed her. "What the... I can't move!" cried Storiana. Sailor Moon took the tiara off her head, "Moon..... Tiara....." No Sailor Moon! Don't use the Tiara. It's too weak. Sailor moon blinked and put it back on. "Then what should I use? Shout Crescent Moon Beam. She was confused but decided to try it. "Okay..... Crescent Moon Beam!" A huge white light shot from her hands and blasted Storiana and Musica. They were almost too weak to move. "We'll get you..... Sailor Moon..... you can... count.... on that...." Then, they disappeared into thin air. Then the audience started walking back in and taking their seats. They looked up and saw the five Sailor Scouts. Then they went wild. "Wow, I can't believe I finally get to meet you guys!" said Sailor V to the Sailor Scouts. "This is amazing! The Sailor Scouts! A full team!" "Yeah, it's pretty cool." commented Sailor Jupiter. They all smiled and walked off the stage. The Imperium Silver Crystal "This is AMAZING!" said Luna, "All the Sailor Scouts are here. The inners at least..." "The inners?" asked Serena, "What are the inners?" "We're the Inners, right Luna?" asked Mina alias Sailor V, "Except for Lita, we're all the inner planets of the solar system. I mean, Mercury, Mars, Venus, the Moon..... If it can be considered a planet." "Right as usual, Mina!" The girls and Luna looked over at the entrance to Rae's temple and saw a white cat with a crescent moon on his forehead. "Hi, I'm Artemis," he said. "Oh yeah," Mina giggled, "This is my cat, Artemis. He's the one who told me I was Sailor V." "And he's also Central Control." said Luna, giving him a dirty look. Artemis blushed. "But who are the Outers?" asked Lita. "I mean, they have to exist. A while ago I saw some eyes with the symbol of Neptune. By the way, what are those things?" "Long story." said Luna. "They're like a different group of Sailor Scouts. They're called the Defenders." "Oh." "We don't know who the Outers are yet, but I think once we get the Imperium Silver Crystal it might lead us to them." said Artemis. "The Imperium Silver Crystal? What's that?" asked Ami. "It's a crystal that goes with the Crescent Wand. It is the most powerful thing in the universe." said Luna "Oh." They said. "So how do we find it?" asked Serena. Luna shrugged. "I guess the wand might work. Or...... Never mind." Luna laughed at her idea. "Or what?" asked Rae, "Come on, it can't be as bad as one of Serena's ideas." Serena growled. "That's not funny Rae." "I was going to suggest an old trick to help me conjure it up. You'd all put your power sticks..... Sailor Moon would use her wand.... and say Scout Power. That usually has various effects, but it might work." said Luna. "It's worth a shot." said Mina. "Let's try it." She put her stick in the middle of them all. The rest of the girls put their sticks in the middle too. "Mercury Power!" "Mars Power!" "Jupiter Power!" "Venus Power!" "Moon Power!" "Scout Power!" They shouted. Then Luna jumped and did a flip. Down fell the Imperium Silver Crystal. All of their eyes went wide. Serena caught it before it hit the ground. She was about to put it on the wand when the wand and the crystal floated up into the air. Little streams of light flew into the crystal that was floating around the spinning wand. Then, the crystal landed right on the crescent moon part of the wand and stuck fast. Serena took the wand by the handle and transformed into the Moon Princess. The girls gasped. Whoa, I'm a princess? This is awesome! thought Serena. The rest of the girls sank to their knees, gazing at the princess. "Wow, Serena's the Moon Princess? How is THAT possible?" asked Rae. "I think we must have all had important jobs too." said Mina. "Right again, Mina." said Artemis, "Each of you were princesses of your own planet. We have not figured out how to transform you into them, but you were princesses. And members of Serena's court. Sit down and we'll explain it to you." The girls sat down and Luna and Artemis told them the story of the moon kingdom and the silver millennium. ******************************************************************************************** One thousand years ago, our moon was home to a great civilization. It was the Moon Kingdom. All the planets lived in peace and that time was called the Silver Millennium. Serena was the princess of the Moon and her mother, Queen Serenity, was the queen of it all. She was teaching Serena to follow in her footsteps, but Serena was in love with a prince from Earth. The rest of the Sailor Scouts were all part of Princess Serena's court. They were also her guardians. When the Negaverse hit, everyone fought as hard as they could, but they were all killed. Queen Serenity and the two cats were all that was left. Queen Serenity sent them all to a future on earth and died because it used all of her power. She erased your memories so none of this would effect your life as a person on earth. But if evil ever struck again, she made it so you were able to fight. ******************************************************************************************** "And that's how you girls got here." finished Luna. "Wow," said Mina, "I sure wish we knew more about the moon kingdom." "Yeah," said Lita, "It sounds pretty cool." "We should look for the Outer Sailor Scouts. They might help us." said Ami. "Yeah, but where do we find them? We don't know anything about them!" said Rae. After Serena transformed back to regular Serena, she said "Why don't we just follow the wand? The crystal might help." "Good idea! Let's go." said Luna. * * * "Serena, can we stop? Luna's pooped, Artemis' feet hurt, Mina doesn't think she can walk much further, and I'm near exhaustion!" said Rae. "Fine. I guess. Let's rest under this tree." The five girls and two cats sat under the tree, relieved to get out of the sun. They had been walking around all day trying to find them. Artemis, who was facing the tree while everyone else was leaning on it, said "Um, guys, I don't think we should sit here." "Why not?" said Ami. The girls looked at a tree and saw it transform into a youma. They jumped up and screamed. "Hang in there girls! World Shaking!!" The ground shook and the youma fell on its back. "Deep Submerge!" A massive funnel of water hit the youma, destroying it. The girls blinked and looked at the youma that was destroyed in less than 5 seconds. Then they turned to see who did it. They saw four more Sailor Scouts, one with long green-tinted hair and red eyes; one with wavy aqua hair and blue eyes; one with very short dirty blonde hair and green eyes; and one with shoulder length black hair and bluish purplish eyes. Are they the Outers? Thought Luna. They look familiar.... Then, they saw eight pairs of eyes. One from each planet except earth. They smiled. They knew they had found the outer Senshi. Serena stepped forward, somewhat nervous. "Are you the outer Sailor Scouts?" The girls nodded, smiling. They transformed back to themselves. They introduced themselves. There was Hotaru, Sailor Saturn, the girl with black hair; Haruka, Sailor Uranus, the blonde; Michiru, Sailor Neptune, the one with Aqua hair; and Setsuna, Sailor Pluto, the girl with green hair. They were so busy talking they didn't notice a satisfied Musica slip into a portal and disappear. * * * "Where is she?" Empress Cosmos demanded. "Where is Musica???" "I.... I don't know your majesty. She was here just a bit ago!" said Storiana. Then Musica stepped out of the portal with a satisfied grin on her face. "Empress Cosmos, I have some good news, I know the identities of the Sai--" "And I have some bad news!" interrupted Cosmos, "Musica, I practically gift-wrapped those girls for you with that Sailor V plan. You couldn't even dispose of them! And now you use a youma without my permission. Even worse, if it wasn't for the youma, there would still only be five Sailor Scouts! Now they have the outer Sailor Scouts! And also because you couldn't dispose of them, they have the Imperium Silver Crystal and the Moon Princess! THE IMPERIUM SILVER CRYSTAL! I am amazed I put up with you for as long as I did. I'm sorry Musica, but you have to go." "E.... Empress Cosmos, y....you're not going to k....k....kill me are you?" said Musica, terrified. "No, I'm not." said Cosmos. Musica sighed with relief. "Storiana is." Musica looked at Storiana, wide eyed, and Storiana gave the same look to Empress Cosmos. "Empress, you don't want ME to kill her, do you?" she said, shocked. "Why not?" said Cosmos coolly. "You've always hated her." "No, I haven't! It was just competition! I always admired her!" Protested Storiana. "Too bad. Kill her or I shall kill you both." said Cosmos. Musica was about to cry. "Musica, I...." Storiana felt awful. "Go ahead, Storiana. I know you have to." Musica said, trying to stand straight. "Musica, forgive me!" Storiana threw a piece of paper as sharp as a knife at Musica and sank to her knees crying. Musica screamed and was sliced in half. She died instantly. Empress Cosmos just watched with a little smile on her face. Imperium Sailor Moon "Wow!" said Hotaru who was sitting with the other 8 girls and the cats. "This is pretty amazing. The whole team together!" "I know!" said Haruka. Michiru, Setsuna, Lita, Ami, Rae, Serena, and Mina nodded in agreement. "What I've been dying to know is where did you guys come from? How did you find us? How did you know you were Sailor Scouts?" asked Serena. "It's hard to explain. I think we found out the way you did, with the eyes or something. We remembered everything when we became the senshi and we found you when Hotaru here sensed the Imperium Silver Crystal." Michiru said. Hotaru grinned. "Oh. Interesting." said Serena. "Why are you after the Imperium Silver Crystal? We don't remember about the past. Luna told us it was the most valuable thing in the universe and it belonged to Sailor Moon, so we got it." "You DO have the Imperium Silver Crystal???" Hotaru said, her eyes wide with excitement. Serena nodded and pulled it out. Setsuna blinked. "Actually, Hotaru didn't ell us why it was so important. She just said we needed to find it." The girls nodded, understanding. Then Mina turned to Hotaru. "Well? Why did you want the crystal?" "It's kind of hard to explain. I had a dream one night that told me that I was Sailor Saturn, The Princess of Saturn, and Imperium Sailor Saturn. It also told me how to become them. For Sailor Saturn, I just needed to find eyes and find Michiru, Haruka, and Setsuna. For the other two, I needed the Imperium Silver Crystal. The dream told me about Queen Serenity and the Moon Princess and Sailor Moon and everything. Even your identities. Even Tuxedo Mask's identity." said Hotaru. "Okay, so what about this princess business?" said Rae, "What do we need to do?" "Well.... Could I have the wand?" Serena nodded and handed it to Hotaru. "Watch carefully." Hotaru started spinning the wand and said softly "Saturn Princess Power!" She then transformed into the Princess of Saturn. She had a little wand with a crystal in it in her hand. "Thanks Serena." She smiled and handed the wand back to her. Serena took it, spellbound. "Wow!" said Lita. "Can I try?" She took the wand. "Jupiter Princess Power!" POW! She was The Jupiter Princess with a little wand in her hand. "Amazing!" Pretty soon, they were all passing the wand around and transforming. Everyone remembered a little more about the Moon Kingdom when they transformed. Enough to know who they were supposed to be. They were busy talking away. "Girls? Girls!" Luna was trying to get their attention, but they were too busy talking. "GIRLS!" yelled Artemis. They all shut up and looked at the cats. "Thank you. Shouldn't we take this somewhere a little less public? We're lucky the temple has slow business." said Luna. The girls blushed. Hotaru recommended her house and they all went there as themselves. Mina slapped her forehead. "In the middle of all this madness, we only learned one transformation. What about Imperium Sailor Saturn?" The rest of the girls nodded and asked her about it. Hotaru smiled softly. "Only Sailor Moon and I may know about that. I'm not planning to use it myself for a long time." She whispered something to Serena and she nodded. Serena then picked up the wand and spun around, holding it out in front of her. "Imperium... Moon... POWER!" A white light streamed from the wand and surrounded her. It wrapped around her and with a flash disappeared. There stood Imperium Sailor Moon. She had long sleeves made of a transparent material that had two slits in each side, crescent moons on her meatballs, a crescent moon on her tiara, a golden skirt, and a golden bow with a replica of the Imperium Silver Crystal in the middle. She had the same boots only silver and gold. "WOW! Is this really me? I must be dreaming!" said Sailor Moon. The girls looked awestruck. But they weren't able to stare for long because a scream came from downstairs. "PAPA!" Hotaru ran downstairs and saw her father unconscious on the ground. She gasped. Standing over him was a woman with long white hair and lavender eyes. It was Storiana. She was tossing a blue crystal up and down in her hand, holding the sun wand in the other, and smiling down at Professor Tomoe. Then she turned and saw Hotaru. Hotaru ran upstairs to her room and slammed the door shut. "There's someone down there!" * * * "Come back here you little brat!" Storiana ran upstairs after Hotaru. When she opened the door, there stood all 9 Sailor Scouts. Storiana gasped and backed up. She knew her days were numbered. Then, she realized something and smiled. "I don't think you want to kill me." said Storiana, tossing the crystal up and down in her hand. "We don't?" said Imperium Sailor Moon. "Give us one good reason why." "See this?" she said, tossing the blue crystal in her hand. "This is the crystal your little friends father had. He will remain how he is until this is back in him. If you kill me, you'll destroy the crystal." When I say go, attack. said the voice in their heads. They saw the eyes with the sign of Saturn above Storiana and smiled. then, rings of some sort surrounded Storiana and squeezed her, making her drop the crystal. Storiana screamed, not knowing what got her. GO! "Venus Crescent V.... "Jupiter Thunder... "Deep.... .....SMASH!" .....CRASH!" .....SUBMERGE!" Water, lightning, and a light beam flew towards Storiana. She shook of the rings and turned to see the water. She screamed and *BOOM!* it hit her. She lay unconscious on the ground. Sailor Saturn grabbed the crystal and held it to her heart. "Silence Glaive Surprise!" shouted Sailor Saturn. For a while, the other scouts thought she had made a mistake, because nothing happened. Then, there was a HUGE explosion by Storiana. She was near death. Then a man dressed in a blue and white suit with white hair and soft blue eyes stepped out of a black portal, picked her up, and carried her away. The Sailor Scouts were confused. But she was gone. That's all they cared about. Well done girls. Your mothers would be proud. said the voice. Somehow, they knew their "mothers" were the queens of their planets. They transformed back to normal and Hotaru walked down to Professor Tomoe. She knelt down beside him and laid the crystal next to him. The scouts didn't know how to heal him. Then Luna remembered something. "Sailor Moon, say 'Moon Healing Activation.' It will heal her father." Sailor Moon nodded. "Moon.... Healing.... Activation!" The crystal floated off the ground and went back into Professor Tomoe. He was totally healed. The Sailor Scouts smiled. They knew now that they were unstoppable. * * * The man in the blue suit stepped out of the portal carrying Storiana. He laid her down in front of Empress Cosmos. She did not look to happy. "Should I heal her?" asked the man. "She looks very weak." "No," said Empress Cosmos with an evil smile upon her face, "let her be." The man was shocked that she would just leave her to die but he nodded. "Yes your majesty." Then, he walked out, glancing sadly at Storiana. A Sudden Change in the Weather *Ring* *Ring* Haruka picked up the phone "Hello?" "Hi, Haruka? It's me, Rae." Haruka smiled. She hadn't heard from any of the other girls since the bad weather had started a couple days ago. It was so bad no one could go out. "Hi Rae! What's up?" "Nothing. Listen, this weather is giving me bad vibes. I think we should call up the other girls and meet at Hotaru's house. I called Mina and Hotaru and it's fine with them. They said they were getting a bad feeling about it too." "Sure. I'll call Michiru, Setsuna, and Lita." suggested Haruka. "Great. I'll see you at Hotaru's house in about an hour!" "See ya!" Haruka hung up and started calling the other girls. * * * "Before you go, don't forget your umbrella, sweater, coat, rubber boots, rain hat, and earmuffs!" said Serena's mom. "All right mom. See you in a bit!" Serena put on all her stuff and headed out. She looked like a rubber duck. Ugh. She thought. I doubt princesses had to go through this kind of thing. Half way down the street, lightning hit a tree by her. She screamed and it caught on fire. She started to run past it but it fell down right in front of her. "Mercury Bubbles..... BLAST!" The tree froze. Serena looked across the street just in time to see Sailor Mercury transform back into Ami. She smiled. "Thanks a ton, Ami. I was freaking out for a while." said Serena. "Sure. I saw you walking and I sensed something bad was about to happen. I transformed into Mercury just in time. I think we better walk together." said Ami. "Yeah. I've got a suspicion that someone's behind this. Someone from the Darkness." said Serena. "How right you are!" The two girls turned around just in time to see two balls of lightning fly towards them. They screamed and leaped out of the way. "Run! Run! Run!" shouted Ami. The girls started running as fast as they could, dodging the balls of rain, hail, sleet, and lightning. "We can't go to Hotaru's! The Darkness will know where we all are!" said Serena, suddenly realizing something. "You're right. The temple!" Ami grabbed her hand right as they ran by it. She dragged her in and they hid in the temple. Right then, Rae and Lita walked into the room. "Is that you?" said Lita. "What are YOU doing here." Between gasps for air, Serena said, "There's something out there. Something from the Darkness. And it's headed this way." "The Darkness is ahead of this bad weather. They've got a thing that can change the weather patterns." said Ami. "I thought so." The girls looked to the door and saw Mina and Setsuna walk in. "Mina! Setsuna! What are you girls doing here?" asked Rae. "We were attacked by the same weather beast and chased in here. I think only Michiru, Hotaru, and Haruka made it." Setsuna said with a frown. "Did it see you?" asked Rae. "Yes, I think so." answered Mina. "It saw us too. I think it's going to come in after us." said Serena. "Then let's transform!" said Ami. She put up her stick "Mercury Power!" "Mars Power!" "Venus Power!" "Jupiter Power!" "Pluto Power!" "Imperium Moon Power!" The girls transformed into Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Pluto, and Imperium Sailor Moon. then, they started outside. "Here I am, girls, no need to leave." They whirled around and saw a man in a dark blue cape, a small white mask over his eyes, and a dark blue hat. Is that Tuxedo Mask? He was in black! But... Serena was confused. The man cackled. "No, I am not your beloved Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Moon." With that, he started to send a ball of lightning towards her. A rose came down and hit the ball, making it explode far away from Sailor Moon. "But I am!" They looked to the window and Tuxedo Mask jumped down in front of the Sailor Scouts. "Oh, I'm quivering. Take THAT!" He sent a huge ball of lightning towards them. Jupiter jumped out in front of all of them. Then she yelled, "I call upon the powers of Jupiter, help me destroy that lightning! Jupiter...... Thunder...... CRASH!" A ball of lightning flew towards the man's lightning. It was fighting it off, but it wasn't working very well. "Mars..... Fire IGNITE!" A ball of fire joined Jupiter's thunder. The force of the fire and thunder together destroyed the lightning. Then the ball headed on to the man. He simply jumped over it with a smirk. "I'll be back girls. Oh, if they ever need to know who killed you so they can put it on you tombstone, it was Weathernon." With that, he disappeared into a black portal. Sailor Moon was about to thank Tuxedo Mask, but he was gone. She looked up to the window and there he was, his cape blowing in the breeze. "Well done, Sailor Moon. I will always be on your side. Remember that." Then he disappeared. And we will too. Sailor Moon looked to where the man was and saw nine pairs of eyes. The eyes closed and they disappeared completely. The girls transformed back and Mina looked outside. "Hey! It's sunny!" Mina said, "And we've still got some time to go. Let's go to Hotaru's!" With that, they rushed off to join the three others. Arrival of the Defenders "Well, we saw some guy named Weathernon. He tried to destroy us. It didn't work of course," said Mina. They all had made it to Hotaru's house and were discussing what had happened. "What do they want, anyway?" asked Michiru, "I mean, why are they HERE?" "I don't know," said Haruka. "They must want it pretty bad. I mean, they keep sending more people." "We might be able to answer that question," said a familiar voice. The girls looked to the door and saw nine cloaked figures. They felt familiar. Then they remembered where they had seen the cloaked figures. The eyes and a symbol were all they could see because the rest was hidden by a cloak. They recognized them as the defenders. "You're the defenders, aren't you?" asked Hotaru. "Yes." The one in the front, probably the Moon Defender, nodded. "We are the defenders. We will not reveal ourselves to you. Yet. You are not ready. But we think it is time that you learned a little about your past, so we have come to tell you about it." ******************************************************************************************** One thousand years ago, during the Silver Millennium, each planet was ruled by a queen and their daughter. The princesses were part of the Moon Princess' court. The sun was not considered a planet and no one thought it could be inhabited. But it was. There was a beautiful queen. She was a fair and just ruler, just like Queen Serenity, the Queen of the Moon. She had long golden hair, soft sapphire eyes..... she was beautiful. She could sense that in the next generation, something awful was going to happen. So she went around to each planet and took one newborn child away from each planet. They grew to know about the Negaverse which would hit in a few years, they knew about the Sailor Scouts, the Princesses, the Queens, and they knew what their task was. The Defenders were supposed to protect each planet. When all of the Defenders were about five and well educated, they were returned home. There were a few attacks by something called the Darkness. They held them off. When they were about 15, they each met the Sailor Scout of their planet. Miraculously, they all fell in love. They had secret relationships that no one knew about. When the Negaverse attacked earth, ALL of the Defenders went to fight. It was a foolish mistake. They lost the battle and heard soon after that they had gotten to the moon and were attacking. They rushed there as quick as they could, but they saw a horrid sight. The Negaverse had won. The Defenders rushed to their loves, who were unfortunately dead, and tried to see if they were still alive. They weren't. They stayed crying next to their Scout. Right before Serenity used the Imperium Silver Crystal, the Queen of the Sun called the Defenders back. They left reluctantly but just in time. They saw everyone get saved and wanted to go with them. The queen would not have it though. She knew something else would attack and so she had the Defenders stay with her. She couldn't bear to see them so sad and erased their emotions. However she didn't erase their memories. The Defenders battled the Darkness which DID attack only a few days later. After a few centuries the Darkness gave up. They went back and waited for another time that they could attack. A few years ago, the queen told them that the Sailor Scouts were back. She gave them back their emotion and they couldn't wait to meet the scouts. She said that they must remain hidden until the scouts remembered everything. She cast a spell on them that made them completely invisible except for their eyes and the symbol on their forehead. In the recent years, they've been watching the Sailor Scout of their planet and helping them whenever they need help. ******************************************************************************************** "Wow," said Rae, amazed. "I didn't know what the Defenders WERE, really." "So now that we know everything, that's just as good as remembering everything. Can we see you now?" said Mina slyly. The Venus Defender laughed, "No such luck." Haruka actually seemed kind of angry. "So you just let us die? You loved us and you went to another planet that none of us lived on to fight?!?!" "No! It's not that. Please understand Haruka." said the Uranus Defender. "We didn't have a choice. We thought they would spread their forces. They all attacked at the exact same place and Garrett couldn't take them all! We had to help." Haruka still looked angry. She hasn't changed much. Thought the Uranus Defender with a smirk. "I think I understand," said Michiru. "Say that Setsuna's house was being robbed by 10 guys. We'd all go over there to help. Serena would too, even though Andrew might be robbed in less than an hour." So much for a secret crush. thought Serena. "Right." said the Moon Defender. "Just curious," said Lita, who always was one for romance, "Who did the Earth Defender fall in love with? There's no Sailor Earth." The Earth Defender looked down. The Neptune Defender rested a hand on his shoulder and looked at them. "There WAS a Sailor Earth. We don't know why, but we can't find her. Even our Queen can't. I think something went wrong with Serenity's Cosmic Moon Power." "Or she could have died on Earth while we were defending it." suggested the Pluto Defender. With that idea, Earth started crying. Some of the scouts tried comforting the Earth Defender. Mina still wanted to know what they looked like, so she said, "How can we remember everything? I mean, it was another life!" "We're not sure." said Uranus. "We think that the Imperium Silver Crystal might help. We told Hotaru that in her dream." Hotaru looked down. "Okay," she said, "so maybe I didn't tell you everything about my dream." Ami had to giggle. "Did you see them in your dream, Hotaru?" asked Rae. Hotaru looked at Gavin, the Saturn Defender, for support. He laid a gloved hand on Hotaru's shoulder. "She saw me, Rae. She remembers us. We made it that way. Please try not to ask her much about it." Mina and Rae were about to ask more questions, but Michiru stopped them. "What are your names? I mean, I'd hate to remember my past, fall in love with you again, and say 'Oh Uranus Defender, I love you' or something like that." said Haruka. Michiru and Serena laughed. "Well I'm Gavin, the Earth Defender is Garrett, the Uranus Defender is Kyler, the Neptune Defender is Arion, the Moon Defender is Eric, the Pluto Defender is Duke, the Mercury Defender is Antony, the Mars Defender is Jeff, the Venus Defender is Beau, and the Jupiter Defender is Christopher." said the Gavin. The girls nodded. "How can we use the Imperium Silver Crystal to remember everything?" asked Lita. "We don't know yet. We're working on that more than we should be working on fighting the Darkness. We REALLY want to see all of you again." said Christopher. "And we'll do whatever we can to make that possible." NOTE: You probably are confused about who's who. Here's a list of characters: Sailor Moon: Serena Moon Defender: Eric Earth Defender: Garrett Sailor Mercury: Ami Mercury Defender: Antony Sailor Venus: Mina Venus Defender: Beau Sailor Mars: Rae Mars Defender: Jeff Sailor Jupiter: Lita Jupiter Defender: Chris Sailor Saturn: Hotaru Saturn Defender: Gavin Sailor Uranus: Haruka Uranus Defender: Kyler Sailor Neptune: Michiru Neptune Defender: Arion Sailor Pluto: Setsuna Pluto Defender: Duke Evil Dudes: Empress Cosmos, Storiana, Weathernon Good Dudes: Luna, Artemis (Cats), Queen Serenity, The Sun Queen Crystals Are a Scout's Best Friend "Wow! I never thought we'd get to meet the Defenders!" said Lita. "That was WAY cool!" "Yeah!" agreed Mina. The other girls nodded. "Hotaru?" said Setsuna. "Yes?" Hotaru looked up. "Will you tell us your dream from the very beginning?" asked Setsuna. "It might help us remember." Hotaru nodded.
