A/N: This is my first fanfic, so please go easy on me! Hope you like it. My attempts at humour are probably all failures. Oh, by the way, these people are speaking in 'Japanese', plus I'll be using the Japanese names. I always prefer subs over dubs. I'll use honorifics, but I may get them wrong from time to time. Does anyone mind sending me a list of what everyone calls each other? (eg. Usagi calls Rei 'Rei-chan') Arigato!

Chapter One: A New Enemy! Sailor Moon's Attack Is Ineffective?!

Usagi Tsukino was running to school. Late, as usual.

She made it to the gates just as they were closing. "Matte!" she cried out, slipping through. A voice behind her echoed the same thing. It sounded familiar. She looked back.

"Ami-chan! Why are YOU so late?"

A girl with short blue hair ran up to her. She put her hands on her knees and doubled over, panting heavily. Once she caught her breath, she said, "I'll tell you later. Right now we've got to hurry!"

"All right, let's go."

"Sorry we're late, Miss Haruna, we…" Usagi trailed off as she looked at the startled girl standing at the front of the class.

Haruna Sakurada was acting differently as she usually did when Usagi was late and was in a strangely good mood. "Oh, no, it's fine. Just don't do it again." Surprising, considering Usagi had been late enough times for her to have given up on telling her that.

Usagi and Ami sank into their seats as Makoto stared at them, obviously wondering why Ami, of all people, was late. Ami mouthed, "I'll tell you later."

"So, class, back to the introduction. This is Xena Kuiper. Xena, say hello to the class."

Xena had thick, bright copper curls tinged with red that tumbled down just above her knees. Two wavy bangs on either side of her face settled on her pale shoulders. In the sunlight her deep green eyes looked clear and light, contrasting against her whitish skin. Usagi sighed, thinking how much prettier Xena was than her.

Xena spoke softly. "I'm Xena. I'm a transfer student from Australia, where I was raised. It's very nice to meet you all. I hope I get to know you very well." She bowed politely. The boys immediately got heart-shaped eyes and Usagi's best friend, Naru, has to nudge her boyfriend, Umino, hard on the ribs. He almost jumped out of his seat. Usagi stifled her laughter.

"Usagi. Usagi!"

She was jolted out of her daydream about her boyfriend, Mamoru. She glanced up at her teacher.

"Honestly, I don't know what to do with you. I think you need a little more responsibility, so I'm asking you to show Xena around."

Usagi sighed before getting up and walking out the door with Xena following close behind. The girl looked at her timidly. Usagi stuck out her hand and Xena looked at it in surprise.

"Isn't this how they do it in Australia?" she asked.

"Yes, it is," Xena replied, a faint smile tugging at her lips. Usagi didn't notice.

She took the outstretched hand and shook it.

"I'm Usagi. Usagi Tsukino. And I already know you," she said with a smile.

"Quite." Xena shyly laughed. It sounded like a tinkling bell.

Usagi showed her around the school with great enthusiasm. Before long, Ami and Makoto joined them.

"Oh, I haven't introduced you to my friends," Usagi realised. "This is Ami-chan," and, pointing to the brunette, said, "and this is Makoto-chan."

The blue-eyed girl gave a tiny wave. "Hi!"

Makoto smiled and said, "You can call me Mako-chan."

"Okay."

Usagi turned to Ami. "So why were you so late? That's the first time and it's really unlike you."

Ami darted a quick side-glance at Xena before responding carefully , "Well, I stayed up too late studying. We didn't get much time to study because of, um, the recent disturbances. "

Usagi and Makoto both looked at each other. They knew exactly what she was talking about. The Black Moon Clan had invaded a few weeks ago, but the Sailor Senshi had managed to stop them and the mastermind behind the whole invasion, Death Phantom. Mako looked at Xena and saw she had a worried look. "What's wrong?"

"Well, it's not healthy for you to be staying up late like that. It's better that you have at least ten hours sleep than to study all night."

Ami grinned ruefully. "Yes, that's true. Arigato! I'll follow your advice from now on."

Xena blushed. "It's not that much of a deal…"

"There's a new girl at school. She's a transfer student from Australia! Isn't that cool?" Usagi burbled excitedly.

"Yes, yes, but there's more important things to do right now!" Rei glared at her. "Weren't you listening to what I said?"

"Huh?"

"Ugh! Now Usagi, please this time listen!"

"Fine, fine," Usagi pouted.

A very serious expression on her face, Rei said, "Last night, I had a dream. In it, I saw the symbol of the Black Moon Clan, and I also saw the silhouette of a Sailor Senshi. There's a new Sailor Senshi coming, but I couldn't tell who she was. We should be on the lookout."

Everyone nodded.

Usagi was reading her comics again when her communicator beeped. An image of Minako appeared on the screen. "Minna, there's a youma loose in the park. Transform and let's go!"

"Hai!" everyone said. Usagi cut the connection and sighed. A new enemy. It had been just a few weeks since the Black Moon Clan invaded. Now something else had appeared and the Sailor Senshi had been dragged into yet another mess. Usagi had her moment where she wished yet again that she had been born a normal schoolgirl. Grabbing her broach, she said, "Moon Crystal Power – Makeup!"

Ribbons wound around Usagi's body. When they disappeared, she was standing in her traditional Sailor Moon fuku. "Yosh, Luna, let's go!"

Usagi ran to the park as fast as her legs would allow. When she got there, the Sailor Senshi were already fighting the youma. It looked like a giant olive-green lizard on two legs. It looked like they were having a lot of trouble with it. As she watched, it swept its huge tail around and tripped up Sailor Venus. Sailor Mars shouted, "Burning Mandala!" Triangular-shaped stuff flew to its target and connected. The youma tilted its head back and roared, although it seemed to be more from annoyance than actual pain.

Suddenly a dark portal appeared and a man stepped out from it. He had hair that was almost black and eyes of the sky. Usagi almost melted but reminded herself sharply that she already had Mamoru.

The young man looked at the girls and said, "So, these are the Sailor Senshi I've heard so much about. To be honest, you don't look like much. And anyway, the Black Moon Clan is weak anyway, compared to the full might of the Eridian Triad."

The Sailor Senshi stared at him in confusion. He ignored them and said, "Sailor Moon, come out. I know you're there." Startled, Sailor Moon stepped out from the shadows. "Who are you and what do you want? And how do you know the Black Moon Clan?"

The man laughed, a rich, mellow sound that echoed like a bell. "I am King Payneite of the tenth planet, Eris. And I am here to eradicate Terrestrials. The Black Moon Clan was one of the many clans in Eris. After they were banished from Eris, they set off to find a planet in which they could settle on. And they found Earth. But, as we all know, they were driven back by the Silver Millenium. They came back, just a few weeks ago, to try once again to emigrate here. I'm here to settle the score."

"Wait, if they were banished, why are you backing them up?" Sailor Mars asked suspiciously.

"They may have been banished but they were still part of Eris," he said. His voice hardened as he spoke the words, "Until, that is, you came along."

Sailor Moon opened her mouth to speak, but Payneite waved his hand impatiently, saying, "Enough words! Youma, destroy the Sailor Senshi!"

"At once, Your Majesty," it replied. Payneite disappeared into the portal as the youma turned to the Sailor Senshi. The girls prepared themselves.

The youma's attack was short and swift. It darted around them all with the agility of a lizard and bit Sailor Jupiter. She screamed once and fell to the ground.

"SAILOR JUPITER!" everyone cried out. They tried to rush to her side but the lizard blocked them.

"Out of the way, you overgrown piece of scale!" Sailor Mercury said as Sailor Venus yelled, "Venus Love-Me Chain!"

A golden chain snaked around the youma and bound it. It screeched as Sailor Moon brought out the Moon Sceptre.

Sailor Moon raised the sceptre and cried, "Moon Princess Halation!" The light hit the youma but it didn't react. The girls were horrified.

"What? Why won't it work?"

The youma broke free and tried to go for the Sailor Senshi again. They got out of the way as it swiped its claws at them.

"What do we do?" Sailor Venus gasped. Everyone looked at Sailor Mercury. She brought out her visor and computer and quickly scanned the enemy for weaknesses.

"I can't find anything! It would be fine if only Sailor Moon had a stronger attack…"

Sailor Moon held up her hands and quickly backed away. "Hey, I'm sorry the Moon Sceptre won't work." Nobody believed her, but it was true that it wasn't Sailor Moon's fault.

The youma lunged for them again and they screamed. Suddenly a single red rose pierced the ground in front of them and the youma stopped.

"Interrupting a peaceful night just to cause chaos to the Sailor Senshi! I can't forgive you!" said a man's voice. The girls looked around to find him standing on top of the lamplight. He was wearing a top hat with a red and black cape and a mask that covered his eyes. "Tuxedo Mask-sama!" Sailor Moon cried out with relief. "You're here!"

"Do it now, Sailor Moon! Finish it off!" he said.

"I…can't..."

"What?"

"The Moon Sceptre won't work on it!"

"Maybe you girls could try the Sailor Planet Attack!"

"Impossible! It would never give us the time we need to unleash that attack!" Sailor Mars said.

The youma lunged forward again. The girls were stuck, unable to move fast enough to dodge it. Suddenly two voices came out of nowhere.

"World Shaking!"

"Deep Submerge!"

Two balls of orange and blue light consumed the youma. It screamed as it dissolved into a pile of dust, before being dispersed by the wind. Two girls dressed in sailor suits jumped down in front of them.

Sailor Moon was the first to speak. "Who are you two?"

"I'm Sailor Uranus, the Sailor Senshi of wind and sky," said one girl. She had short dirty blonde hair and blue eyes and was quite tall, even taller than Jupiter.

"And I am Sailor Neptune, Sailor Senshi of the seas and oceans," said the other. She had bluish green hair that fell just below her shoulders and beautiful teal eyes.

"Wait, there are two Sailor Senshi. And Mars said only one was coming." Sailor Jupiter said in shock.

"Hey, I only saw one. It doesn't really matter if others come, it doesn't change the fact that one is coming who will help us defeat the new enemy." Sailor Mars defended herself.

Sailor Mercury broke up the argument. "Hey girls, this isn't helping. We can discuss this later."

"All right." The two Sailor Senshi huffed and turned back to Uranus and Neptune.

"There are actually ten Sailor Senshi altogether," Sailor Neptune said.

"Ten…Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune…so we're missing three."

"As far as I know, there are TWO planets left – Saturn and Pluto."

"In my dream, there were only nine Sailor Senshi. And I don't think Sailor Saturn was there…"

"Sailor Saturn must never awaken."

Everyone stared at Sailor Uranus.

"What? Why?" Venus asked.

"It's not for you to find out right now." Neptune spoke this time.

"O-kay…"

"So who's the last one?"

Nobody knew.

A/N: Aw man, if only I could look like Xena…in my mind, she looks so beautiful…I don't know if my description of her was enough. Maybe not. Oh well. Also, if anything appears inconsistent, just let me know, or if any honorifics are wrong, and I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

Wow this was a pretty long chapter compared to my other stories! I don't know if the rest of the chapters will be this long. Please review! See you all later!
