"Yes, it's located in the middle of the three Ruby Points of Kinmoku sei. Each Attack Item is located inside a Roby Point which means there are 3 Attacking Items all together, one for each of you." Queen Kakyoku explained carefully. "Does that mean we have to go inside the Ruby Points? But how can that be possible? There is no possible entrance for entering a Ruby Point because it is made entirely out of crystal-like material," Princess StarMaker questioned as she went into a thinking position. "That's a very good question Maker. I assume I haven't mentioned it to you earlier, the 3 Ruby Points stands for you three." "Our points?" Princess StarHealer paused and thought for a mom- ent. "..just like the Inner senshi's 5 Crystal Points at Crystal Tokyo." "Fighter, your Ruby Point--StarFighter Point is located at the northern part of Starlight Palace. Healer, your Ruby Point--StarHealer Point is located at the soutwestern part of Ruby Palace. Maker, your Ruby Point--StarMaker Point is located at the southeastern part of Ruby Palace. Each of your original Attacking Item is the key to your own Ruby Point, which means that no one else can enter except you.." Princess StarFighter seemed to be confused about how her Att- acking Item (Star Yell) could be the key to a crystal-like structure with no entrances. As if reading her mind, Queen Kakyoku smiled, "You'll under- stand once you got to your Ruby Point." "Thank you so much, Queen Kakyoku. We'll be picking up our new items very shortly after this," the Starlights said as they court- esied. "You are always welcomed." Queen Kakyuu replied. "But I'm afraid you have no time left, Starlights.. The three new Attacking Items contain a very large amount of energy. Your new enemy--the Black Dream are probably targeting those new Attacking Items. "Once they get hold of the three new Attacking Items, it is easier to break into Starlight Palace," Queen Kakyoku said very seri- usly. "Just like our Crystal Points?" Neo-Queen Serenity asked as she recalled the time when Crystal Tokyo was attacked because its Crystal Points were weak. Queen Kakyoku nodded. She turned to the Starlights and said earnestly, "You have to learn how to combine those energy in the new attacking items together. Because once the energy are all combined, it can reach 50% of all the energy in Kinmoku sei combined.." The Starlights's faces went blank. "Wow, that's a lot of energy!!!!," Queen Venus exclaimed. Everybody else were in shock. "Yes, it is Queen Venus." Queen Kakyoku said. "Once the Starlights learn how to handle and control them, Kinmoku sei and Starlight Galaxy may be saved.." She paused and said, "There is no time left now, Starlights, hurry to the Ruby Points at once before Black Dream gets there." Queen Kakyoku looked at Neo-Queen Kakyuu and smiled, "My daughter, please take care of yourself. I believe that it is poss- ible to defeat this new threat.. Fare well, everyone.." "Mother, please don't go..," Neo-Queen Kakyuu pleaded, her scarlet colored eyes staring directly at her mother--Queen Kakyoku. "I will always remain in your heart, Kakyuu. Believe in your- self and the others, and I will follow you and watch you always. There is no time left, Starlights, go to your Ruby Points before Black Dream attacks." After Queen Kakyoku finished, she disappeared with the light which illuminated the Light House. Queen Jupiter broke the silence, "I suppose we have to go now." "That's a very good idea, Queen Jupiter," Neo-Queen Serenity said. Then everyone teleported back to the palace throne room. Sudd- enly, a servant girl ran towards the door. "Excuse me your majesty," she began. "Yes, is there anything wrong?," Neo-Queen Kakyuu asked. "Yes, your highness, Star-Princess Sapphire wanted to meet you, she's waiting right outside the room." The servant girl exp- lained, she began to slow down. "Please bring her in." The servant girl bowed and walked out of the room. A minute later, a young girl walked in. She had the same ebony hair as Sailor Saturn, but longer. She was a very pretty girl, around 15 years old. She wore a bluish fuku similar to Sailor Kakyuu's senshi uniform. It was obvious that her left arm was broken. The Sailor senshi kneeled down in front of the royalties. "Good afternoon, your highness," she began. "Please stand up, Star-Princess Sapphire of Sapphire Star," Neo-Queen Kakyuu ordered. "Yes, your majesty." And the Star Princess stood up. "What's the matter?" "I was guarding the Galaxy, as usual," she began. "Then the other Star-Princesses (the Outer senshi of our Starlight Galaxy) and I saw a huge aerial space ship--we know immediately that they were the Black Dream. We tried to stop them, but they were too powerful, most of us were in serious injuries but I'm the only one who had less injury. That is why I'm here to tell your majesty that they will be here any minute." "We've got to set a counter attack plan," Neo-Queen Kakyuu said seriously. Star-Princess Sapphire apologized, "We apolozie that we cannot protect the Starlight Galaxy from outside invaders." Neo-Queen Serenity's eyes turned to beads. She said with a weird look, "Hey, that's us.." Star-Princess Sapphire realized it and apologized, "Uh..uh..I'm sorry, Neo-Queen Serenity.. I didn't mean to--" "It's ok, Sapphire, I know how hard you and the other Star-Princ- esses have tried. The new enemy must have been a lot stronger than we've expected. Please stand up," Neo-Queen Kakyuu said. "But..." "It's an order." Neo-Queen Kakyuu said. "Yes, your highness." She began to stand up. "You're excused," Neo-Queen Kakyuu said. "I'll see you later when you recover, Sapphire." Star-Princess then bowed and left the room. "So, what should we do?," Neo-Queen Serenity began. Queen Mars thought for a moment then suggested, "We have no time left, the monsters must have been wandering somewhere in this planet. But because the palace's barriers, they cannot enter the palace. I believe that we should go to the Ruby Points before the Black Dream reaches them." "It will be easier to attack if we divide ourselves into four groups. One group to protect the palace, and the other three groups to protect each Ruby Point," Queen Mercury explained. "I understand," Queen Jupiter said. Neo-Queen Serenity asked, "Who wants to go with me?" "We will be staying at the palace, Neo-Queen Serenity," Neo-Queen Kakyuu replied. "And we would appreciate if you can stay, Queen Mercury. Perhaps you can help us analyze the situation.." Queen Mercury said that she glad to. "I want to go, too!" Neo-Queen Serenity said with a frown. Queen Uranus shook her head. "You should stay here, Neo-Queen Serenity. It is the best decision.. Being overprotective is better than trying to figure how to solve a complicated problem afterwards." "Great, I'll stay then." Neo-Queen Serenity said with a sigh. "For the StarHealer Ruby Point, it's obvious that I'm going," Princess StarHealer said firmly. Queen Venus announced, "I can go with you, Yaten-san." Artemis sweatdropped and said, "If Mina (Minako)'s going, I worry. I'll go with you if it's alright, Princess StarHealer." "Perhaps I will go to help," Queen Uranus decided, then nodded. "For StarMaker point..," Princess StarMaker trailed off to think. "I can come with you, Taiki-san," Queen Jupiter announced as she smiled. "So far, we should let one Inner senshi and one Outer senshi to comprise the team." Princess Pluto smiled and said quietly, "Perhaps I can come to protect StarMaker Point, Taiki-san." "That leaves me with Queen Mars and Queen Neptune, I hope that you're willing to work with me," Princess StarFighter said with a smile. "I believe that we can collaborate." "We've worked together before when we try to defeat Neherenia, Queen Mars," Queen Neptune said as she recalled the past. Queen Mars smiled and nodded. "I'm glad that we have a chance to work together again, Queen Neptune." "I'll also go to look after all of you," Luna said. So the groups were decided. ********************************************************** This is the chart which indicates which Sailor senshi goes to which point. The team were divided equally: STARHEALER POINT STARFIGHTER POINT STARMAKER POINT Artemis Luna Sailor StarMaker Sailor StarHealer Sailor StarFighter Sailor Jupiter Sailor Venus Sailor Neptune Sailor Pluto Sailor Uranus Sailor Mars Palace: Neo-Queen Serenity, Neo-Queen Kakyuu and Sailor Mercury. ********************************************************** "So I guess we have to go fast," Princess StarFighter said. "Minna, henshin yo!" Luna ordered. "Mars Crystal Power, make up!" "Jupiter Crystal Power, make up!" "Venus Crystal Power, make up!" "Uranus Crystal Power, make up!" "Neptune Crystal Power, make up!" "Pluto Crystal Power, make up!" "Fighter Star Power, make up!" "Healer Star Power, make up!" "Maker Star Power, make up!" "Let's go now, quick, we have to go before the Black Dream gets there," Super Sailor Jupiter said. "Good bye Queen, takecare," everyone said at the same time and then ran out of the door to meet their destiny which was waiting for them. "I hope that the enemy is not as strong as we thought they would be..," Neo-Queen Kakyuu wished silently.
