"Mama! Papa! Come look at this!" Princess Lady Serenity, in a very unprincess-like manner, flew down the hallway towards the Council Room. Her parents turned from their meeting with the Sailor Soldiers to see what all the panic was about. "Look! I was accepted into Crystal Tokyo University!" Neo-Queen Serenity's face lit up and she hugged the excited girl. "Oh Rini! That is so wonderful!" Endymion smiled and winked. "I told you so. You were just being paranoid when you took that entrance exam in June." Rini laughed and pulled out of her mother's embrace. "This letter says that I have to come in today and pick up my uniform and we have to complete all the paper work, too." The king and queen exchanged nervous glances. Rini caught the look on both their faces and frowned. "You can't come, right? There's something more important you have to do today, isn't there?" When she got no immediate response Rini turned and fled. Sailor Saturn had stood up during the display of, well, rejection and was heading towards the door. "Hotaru! This meeting isn't over yet!" Neo-Queen Serenity was obviously upset about something because she never yelled at anyone. Saturn nodded and sat again.
Rini burst into her pink bedroom and threw herself on the huge bed. Her whole body was wracked with sobs. A lavender gray cat with a jingle bell tied around her neck leapt from the nearby windowsill to land near the girl's head. "What is the matter, Rini? I thought you were ecstatic to be accepted at the University." Rini lifted her head from within her crossed arms. "Diana, I am happy. But my parentally challenged parents can't come with me to the school today. And I have to be there with my guardians, the letter even says so." Diana flicked her tail casually. "Rini your parents are very busy, they have to rule a whole country, you know. I thought by now you'd understand that they have obligations to fulfill to this country and its people." Now Rini stood up, outraged, and yelled back. "They have obligations to me as their daughter that they should feel they have to fulfill before anything else!" And again, she turned and ran from the room, leaving a shocked Diana sitting on her bed.
Rini ran to the only place she ever found comfort in the whole Crystal Palace, the gardens. It was always so peaceful and quiet there and she was usually the only person there. Her favorite place in the whole garden was the rose garden. So many different colors of roses, filling the air with their scent. Most people commented on the red roses and how beautiful they were.
But when the princess was feeling lonely and sad (like now) she went to the small garden devoted to white roses. There was a magnificent white marble fountain at the center of the rose garden. There were also white marble benches along the row of roses. Rini found herself thinking about the oddest things here. Like her days as Sailor Mini-Moon and her friendship with the Elysian priest Helios. Sighing, Rini settled into the comforting sounds of the trickling water and the smell of the sweet roses. A gentle breeze stirred her hair, pushing a stray strand across her tear stained face. She closed her eyes and wondered at the familiar feeling she was experiencing. It was like her mind wasn't fully in her body. Suddenly, there was a sound as if the wind had intensified greatly and she was no longer in the white garden Rini was now standing in the middle of a forest made of crystal. Gasping in realization Rini cried, "I'm in Elysian?!" Her voice echoed loudly through the shimmering, crystal trees. Covering her mouth in surprise at how loud the echoes were, Rini soaked in every element of the world she hadn't seen in years. Somewhere in the distance, she heard a horse whinny. Smiling, Rini turned towards the sound, but stopped abruptly. Before her three lights were bobbing in the branches of the trees. One was pink, one was yellow, and the other was blue. A familiar voice called out from the pink one. "Princess, please follow us." Recognizing the voice to be that of Hawk's Eye, she made the assumption that the other two were Tiger's Eye and Fish's Eye. All three orbs of light flew off in the opposite direction. Rini nodded and followed quickly. Soon they were out of the crystal forest and were standing in the middle of a huge field of white roses. Rini stood awestruck for a moment. "Its so beautiful!" She exclaimed, leaning down to smell the nearest blossom. The womanly voice of Fish's Eye interrupted her. "I hate to interrupt, but this is urgent!" Rini sighed and stood up all the way.
The trip through the rose field was like a dream within a dream for Rini. But it was a dream that ended too suddenly because they had arrived at their destination. It was a horrible sight, the temple that had served as Helios's home was totally destroyed. Smoking remnants of stone lay everywhere and the pedestal that had once held the Gold Crystal was totally empty. Rini's eyes filled with tears and she let them fall unbidden to the scorched ground. The three bobbing lights had disappeared; Rini was alone in the aftermath of what had to be a horrible battle. Taking a hesitant step forward and then another, Rini made her way, slowly, towards the crumbling structure. Lying in the shadows was the figure of an injured horse. Rini froze. It wasn't a normal horse; it had huge white wings and a broken gold horn. Apparently it was wounded horribly because a large patch of its lovely white body was red. Sprinting the rest of the way, Rini fell to her knees beside the fallen creature. Cradling its head in her hands Rini cried once more, this time it hurt more horrible than the last time she cried over Helios. "Helios, please don't be dead." She uttered between sobs. All of the sudden a pink light grew from her chest and spread up and through her arms. The light shot into Helios's body and there was a flash of an even brighter light. Rini cried out and covered her head with her arms. When the light faded, she peeked through her arms and almost fell over dead. There was a young man standing where the Pegasus had once been. He had white hair and brown-red eyes that were calm and gentle. His clothes, as tattered as they were, were just like Helios's had been those many years ago. The young man turned to look at Rini and his face changed from a look of shock to a look of pure pleasure. "My maiden, you have saved me once again. I am in your debt." Rini scrambled to her feet and stared at this man. "You are Helios?" Her voice was small and unsure. He nodded, smiling wider. "W-what happened to your horn, Helios?" Rini took a few shaky steps towards the older looking Helios and pointed at his forehead. Helios felt the spot where his horn would've normally been and jumped in surprise. "Well, I do not know, maiden. It must have been destroyed in battle." Rini was already recovering from the shock of what had just happened. She smiled and then laughed and spun around in a circle. Helios laughed too, and soon the both of them were in tears. "What is so funny, maiden?" Helios asked when they had both stopped to breathe. Rini wiped the tears of joy from her eyes. "Its just that I thought you were dead and then that weird light healed you. I'm just really happy, that's all." She fainted then, but luckily Helios caught her.
Rini awoke to find herself lying in the crystal forest once more. Helios was nowhere in sight. Frowning Rini stood up unsteadily and called out, "Helios?" No answer. "Helios, where are you?" A warm breeze blew a few white rose petals into her view. Then Helios was there, holding a single white rose in his hand. He had gotten different clothes that looked more like something someone on Earth would wear. Smiling again, Helios bowed and held the rose out to Rini. "For my beautiful maiden." She blushed and took the rose from him. "Thank you Helios. Its lovely." Helios straightened. "I know you must have many roses in the gardens of Crystal Tokyo, but this is a special rose. It will never die or lose any petals as long as Elysian is still alive." Rini nodded. "Speaking of Elysian, Helios what happened here?" Helios turned away and answered in a slightly cold voice. "What do you mean?" "You were obviously attacked by someone or something. And the temple's in ruins. I know something must have happened." He turned back to face her, his face was a mask of pain. "I did not want to have to share this with you. But if you insist, I shall tell you. I am not totally sure of what or whom the attack was from, but they were horribly strong. Whatever it was, it took the form of a giant black cloud, with glowing red eyes." Helios closed his eyes, as if the very thought of the thing was painful. Rini touched his shoulder and he took her hand. "It destroyed the temple with an immense amount of dark energy. I am frightened to say that I was not strong enough to stop it. As you know it managed to mortally wound me." He opened his eyes. "If you hadn't come when you did I would've been dead." Rini laughed. "You'll have to thank Tiger's Eye, Hawk's Eye, and Fish's Eye for that. They guided me to the temple when I arrived here. Come to think of it, how did I come here? One minute I was sitting in the gardens of the Crystal Palace, the next I was standing here." She motioned to the crystal forest surrounding them. Helios had long since released her hand and was now fiddling with something he had pulled out of his pocket. Rini craned her neck to see over his shoulder. He had what looked like an orb of shimmery blue and purple light in his hand. "Wow! What's that?" Helios smiled at her curiosity. "This is an orb of my dream energy. I used it to pull you from Crystal Tokyo. I did not think it was truly going to work." There was a moment of silence before Rini backed away and looked up at the sky, which was dancing with many colors. "I suppose I should go back and report this to my mother and father." Helios looked lonely suddenly, like Rini wanted to leave, right? Rini caught the crestfallen look and went to him. She wrapped her arms around him and whispered, "Come with me, Helios. I need you." He returned the embrace and whispered back, "I wish I could, Rini. But I must stay and protect this realm from further attack. Luckily they never got the Gold Crystal, so I must stay." Rini cuddled closer. Helios smiled and for an endless moment they seemed to stop time to stay together. Then it was over and Rini stood in the middle of the clearing, waiting for Helios to wish her back. "I'll miss you Helios!" Her eyes were tear filled again. Helios was serious as he held out the orb of dream energy. It flickered brighter as he closed his eyes. An aura of purpley blue surrounded Rini and she braced herself. Helios opened his eyes and called out, "I shall always be with you, if only in dreams!" Then Elysian disappeared and the roses of the Crystal Palace gardens shifted into view.
Rini slumped down further onto her bench, exhausted. "Whoa! I guess it took more energy than I thought it would to revive him." "Revive who?" It was pesky sounding voice that called lazily from behind her. Rini jumped and turned around seeing a light gray cat with one blue eye and one brown-red eye. There was a gold crescent moon on his forehead. Rini grimaced. "Oh its you Art. What do you want?" Art (Diana's younger brother) leapt down from his perch on the edge of a low wall. He trotted towards her nonchalantly. "I want to know what you were mumbling about just now." Rini blinked. "Art, what did you see here?" Art jumped up and landed on her shoulder. "You fell asleep and when you woke up you said something about reviving someone." Rini laughed nervously. "Oh I must still have been a little asleep and I was just talking in my half-sleep." This seemed to convince the curious cat because he nodded and jumped off her shoulder. Before he ran off he called back, "Oh yeah! Mom told me to come tell you that Trista is gonna take you to CTU." He was out of sight seconds afterwards. Rini stood up and pondered what she had just said. 'Why'd I feel like lying to him like that?' She thought. Her protectiveness about this whole thing was a bit much. She smiled mischievously. 'Maybe I won't tell anyone about my meeting with Helios. It'll be our little secret.' She had started walking away when suddenly she remembered the rose. Running back to the bench, she smiled at the sight of the white rose lying on the bench. She bent and picked it up. 'Helios, I promise not to forget you.'
In the darkness of another dimension, very different from our own, a single light source glowed. It just happened to be two red eye-like things floating suspended in the darkness. An angry, disembodied voice yelled from the direction of the eyes. "Aria! Rylie! Starfire and Starfrost! Come forth!" Immediately three lights glimmered into existence. Red, light blue, and dark gray. Out of the red light stepped a tall women dressed in a skimpy red dress. She had red-pink hair that was styled in two buns on the sides of her head. Her eyes were all red. Beside her, from the blue light, a slightly shorter woman with almost white light blue hair. It was styled in a single braid that looped back up to meet her head again. She wore a dress that was a bit more concealing than the red head's, but her eyes were red like the red head's. The last light, the dark gray one, produced a teen aged looking girl with black hair. It was styled like Sailor Pluto's only with two buns. Her eyes were violet with a ring of red around the pupils. She wore a really dark gray dress that was identical to that of Princess Serena, only without the sleeve puffs. Also, the moons on the dress were black and upside down. There was a black, upside down crescent moon on her forehead. Flaring brightly, the red eye's voice called out, "Where is Rylie?" All three women flinched, but none spoke. In a swirl of a midnight blue cape the man in question appeared. He had golden blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a simple suit of silver armor with a midnight blue under suit. He bowed. "I'm sorry, Lord Darkstar. I do not have the same powers as your ladies here do." He winked at the one with black hair, who smiled back. Darkstar made a sound that seemed like a growl. "My attack on Elysian did not go as I had planned. I was unable to get the Gold Crystal and therefore I am stuck as a black cloud of nothingness!" Rylie, who seemed to be the cheekiest of the group, made a brash suggestion. "Lord Darkstar, may I say something? I have thought up a clever plan that will defeat the Sailor Soldiers and get you a bodily form back." The red eyes narrowed. "Go on." Rylie smiled. "I'm sure you know this, but the Crystal Orbs of the Sailor Soldiers would provide us with an immense amount of energy. And if they were to be stolen the Sailor Soldiers would lose every means of protecting their queen, Elysian, and all the Emperium Crystals!" The red eyes seemed to like this plan very much because they made a chuckling noise. "Very good, Rylie! Aria, take the Black Scouts and steal the Crystal Orbs from the evil ones who destroyed your family." Aria, the black haired one, nodded. "Yes, milord. I shall not fail you!" She locked eyes with Rylie before disappearing into a glimmer of gray light. "Starfire and Starfrost I want you to find out whether we can use my father's Time Portal. It may come in handy." The remaining women nodded and bowed before turning back into glimmers of red and blue light. Rylie bowed, smiling. "I take my leave of you now my lord." Before Darkstar could say anything he turned and ran out of the chamber.
Outside of the darkest chamber in the whole dimension, Aria stood waiting for Rylie. He ran out of the chamber and slammed the huge door with a flourish. Aria ran over to him and he swept her up into his arms. They kissed for a long time and then they just stood there in each other's arms. "I will go now and get my revenge on the Sailor Soldiers. Thanks to your plan, Rylie." She looked up into his blue eyes and almost melted. He had a certain strength to him that was intoxicating. He was smiling now and her led away to another chamber.
Hours later Aria arrived in the room that was a jumble of fire rings, ice structures, dancing lightening, and tons of mirrors. Within each of these different things stood a woman in Sailor Suited glory. Each one had black bows and strange symbols on their tiaras. Aria snapped her fingers and all four looked at her. "Princess! You have returned!" The Sailor that had been standing with all the floating mirrors rushed forward. She had long brown-blond hair that was styled like Mina's only with a black bow. Her eyes were a strange dark yellow color. Dark yellow was the color of the rest of her suit. "Lord Darkstar has given us a mission." Aria said in a very important sounding voice. The Sailor who was playing with the lightening released the bolt she was twisting. "Finally! It's been forever, now." Her brown hair was pulled into a ponytail; her eyes were a bright green color as was the rest of her sailor suit. Lastly, the fire and ice sisters turned around to reveal identical faces and reddish eyes. One had long deep red hair and her sailor suit was dark red. The other had really short dark blue hair and dark blue sailor suit. The two said in unison, "Yes, we are glad to get some action." Aria nodded and revealed the finer points of the plan.
Meanwhile, back in our dimension, Rini was standing in front of the Crystal Palace gates, in street clothes. Trista was taking a really long time getting out of the Palace and the young princess was growing impatient. Diana, who was lounging on her shoulder, yawned. "Well, you'd think she'd have a good sense of time seeing as she's the Guardian of the Time Gates." Rini smiled wryly. "Plu has faults just like the rest of us." Diana yawned again just as Trista appeared walking quickly and carrying a black briefcase. She nodded towards a sleek black hover car and Rini followed her into it.
The drive wasn't very long, but the traffic was horrible. The two of them were, for the most part, silent. It had been a while since they had been able to spend a whole lot of time together. "So, Rini, how have you been lately? I haven't seen a lot of you since you birthday." Trista ventured. Rini turned from staring at the people on the streets. "I guess I've been okay." Trista smiled. "'You guess'?" Rini shrugged the matter away. "Since mom and dad never let me leave the Palace I'm kind of limited in the way of friends." Diana made a hurt noise and Rini corrected herself. "Of course, Diana here is always there for me." Trista guiltily looked away. "This is a good opportunity for you to make tons of friends, since it's a boarding school. But your parents and all the Scouts are going to miss you, little one." Rini snorted. "Right. You guys barely know me anymore." The tone of contempt in her voice made Trista flinch. "I know it must be hard for you to have to deal with palace life. Your parents have been dreadfully busy trying to talk the United States out of attacking Germany over a petty misunderstanding and we Scouts have been investigating the odd attacks all over the city." Rini looked down at her hands and then back at her old friend. "I'll try to understand you guys a little better. I know you're all busy but," She paused. "Never mind, we're here." She quickly jumped out of the car and waited for Trista. Diana looked at Rini sadly. "Rini, this is gonna get really complicated if you don't just tell everyone how you feel." Rini ignored her and swung into step with Trista.
Afterwards, when they arrived back at the Palace, Trista called to the skipping Rini, "Hey! What do you say to a picinic with you, the Scouts and your parents?" Rini stopped and turned back. "How's Saturday at three in the rose gardens?" She called excitedly. Trista laughed and nodded. With that settled, Rini had something to look forward to that weekend. She hurried to her room and closed the door silently. On the small bedside table the white rose sat in a simple pink vase. Rini smelled the rose and thought of Helios. She remembered how good it had felt when he held her, when he spoke in his soft, gentle voice, even when he'd look at her she felt like flying up and sleeping on cloud 9. Then she suddenly remembered that she'd probably never see him in person again. Just the thought of it brought a lump to her throat. It was only now that she realized what that feeling was. Love.
That weekend, Rini helped Lita make the food for the picinic. Then she helped set up the huge blanket with Michelle and Amara. All the while, they laughed, joked and caught up. Her parents came a little late, but no matter. It was bright sunny day and the food was wonderful. When they had all eaten, they just sat there and talked. Rini fell into a thoughtful silence after a while. She was pondering her detached relationship with Helios when Mina started staring her. Then the blond leaned forward and whispered, "So Rini, who's the guy you're daydreaming about?" Rini jumped. "W-what?!" Mina laughed. "You can't fool me! I'm the goddess of love and I can spot it a mile away." Rini blushed a deep red as Lita joined in. "What's this about Rini being in love?" The brunette asked, leaning closer. Soon all the Inner Scouts were pestering Rini about the mystery guy. "How old is he?" Raye asked. "Is he a hottie?" Mina asked with a wink. "Have you asked your parents about getting into a serious relationship?" Amy asked, seriously. Lita laughed. "I bet its just puppy love!" "Why don't you guys lay off a little? Can't you see she's uncomfortable?" Amara was lying with her eyes closed, but she was still listening. Michelle nodded in agreement. "I'm sure that whoever this guy is, if there even is a guy, that he's sensible enough to some to Serenity and Endymion to ask permission." Hotaru, who's all grown up, smiled. "I remember the day I met my husband." Amara opened her eyes. "Yeah! So do we!" Trista smiled. "I hope this boy is nothing like Drake, Hotaru. He had a troubled past, let's just say that, huh." All the while Rini just sat there trying not to blow up at all of them for talking about her "guy" like he was a piece of cloth. Michelle and Amy's comments about asking her parents' permission stung the worst. She didn't have to ask! She was her own person. Serenity and Endymion were listening intently. "I would like to say something." Serenity's regal, yet calm, voice shut all of them up. "Rini, dear, if there is a special someone in your life, I would really like to talk about it. It's been a while since we had a mother-daughter talk." Rini nodded numbly and Serenity excused them both. She led Rini over to the shade of huge rose bush. The pink blossoms were starting to shed their petals, making a sweet smelling carpet to sit on. "Now, Rini, I won't ask any prying questions because you need your space. But at least describe him to me!" She sounded just like the old Serena Rini knew so well, pleading with her like that. Rini smiled and began describing Helios in a very vague fashion. "He's tall and pale, but not in a bad way. He's got the most caring eyes I've ever seen. And his voice is so soothing and soft. He's a gentleman, mama, very gentle." It must've been something Rini said or perhaps the way she said it but Serenity blinked tears out of her eyes. "You've grown up so much and now you're in love!" She embraced her daughter and tried not to cry. "Does this gentleman have a name?" Rini froze. 'Uh-oh! Now what do I do?' Her thoughts and heart conflicted and she blurted, "Mama, can you please not tell papa or anyone else?" Serenity smiled. "Oh I see! You want to keep it a mother-daughter secret. Of course! I'll never tell a soul, Scout's honor." Rini hesitated and then she met her mother's blue eyes, full of love and she knew those were trustworthy eyes. "Mama, you remember when I came back in time to train with you and the Scouts?" Serenity nodded. "Well, it all started back then." It took a minute but realization dawned over the queen's face. "Rini! When did you see him again? I thought he had to stay in Elysian." Rini laughed, happy that her mom finally attained a sharp mind. "He called me to Elysian because he was hurt really bad in a battle. I healed him, somehow." Serenity's face changed. "He was hurt in battle? Was it a black cloud with red eyes?" Rini nodded. "How'd you know?" "Raye saw it all happen in a vision, but I couldn't believe anyone would attack the Priest of Elysian." Luna and Artemis, followed by Diana, suddenly ran to them. "Serenity! Rini! There's trouble!" Luna exclaimed. "Come with us!" Artemis said before the three cats took off in the direction of the picinic.
Five Sailor suited figures stood over the beaten bodies of all the Sailor Soldiers. Endymion was still standing, but hurt badly. "Endy! Scouts!" Serenity ran to her love and supported him just as he lost his balance. Rini stopped before the group of evil Scouts. "Who are you?" The leader (Aria) laughed. "So glad you asked. I am Sailor Black Moon, the champion of hatred and crime. In the name of the Black Moon, I shall wrong rights and defeat good and that's you." The other four stepped forward. "We'll punish you! We're the Black Scouts!" Without waiting for an answer, Black Moon grabbed Rini and hefted her into the air. She squinted at Rini before tossing her aside like a rag doll. She landed with a thump far away from the battle. "Rini! No!" Neo-Queen Serenity screamed. Endymion groaned and stood up on his own. "Go see if Rini's okay." Serenity shook her head. "I won't leave you." The king pulled a rose out of his cape. "Go!" Serenity burst into tears and ran to the limp form of her daughter. Endymion threw the rose with all his might at the leader of the Black Scouts. Without even looking Black Moon caught the rose. "Ha! What's this supposed to do? Oh look girls! A big, scary flower." She turned to the other Black Scouts who nodded and snickered. Endymion slumped to the ground; he had used the last of his energy to throw that rose.
Serenity bent over Rini's body, screaming and crying. "Rini! Oh Rini, don't die on me! Rini!" The princess' eyes fluttered open and her face hardened. "Mama, I have to go help fight." Serenity shook her head. "No! No way! I won't lose you, too." Rini smiled, pulling her Mini-Moon brooch out of her pocket.
"Moon Prism Power!" The brooch didn't even flicker in response. "What?" Serenity was sobbing harder because she saw Endymion fall. Rini thrust the brooch into the air and cried again, "Moon Prism Power! Work, you stupid thing. WORK!" Rini tossed the brooch to the ground and watched as Black Moon called the Black Scouts to her. "Now, let's finish this!" The evil moon soldier held her hands forward an aura of black energy surrounded her. Each of the Black Scouts closed their eyes and added their energy to the attack. Black Moon's eyes turned totally red and, in a voice that was not her own she screamed,
Darkstar Crystal Knife!
Nine knife-like energy rays shot from her outstretched hands. Each beam found a fallen Scout. A single tear rolled off her face as Rini looked down and saw a black energy knife slipping through her chest. Serenity's agonized screams faded as a pink light slowly grew from where the knife had entered. A red orb, about the size of a baseball that looked crystalline was forming in the wake of the knife. There was a pink crescent moon at the center and white angel wings on the sides. Rini felt her energy slowly being sucked away, and then she was falling into darkness. She couldn't breathe or move. 'This is it. Its over....' Her thoughts seemed to echo eerily and then Helios's voice called to her. "Rini! You have to fight back! Please!"
Her eyes slowly opened and focused on the red and pink orb. Concentrating with all her might, Rini stretched her hand out to grab it. As soon as her hand and the orb came in contact there was a flash of pink light. A pink transformation pen with two gold stars and a gold moon on it with the orb at the top appeared. "What? How is that possible?" Black Moon screamed, enraged. Energy restored, Rini took the pen and thrust it into the air, calling,
Moon Crystal Orb Power!
Pink ribbons shot out of the Crystal Orb and they surrounded Rini's upper body, forming her main suit and red front bow. The Crystal Orb of the Moon became the brooch. Quickly moving to her arms and lower body, the ribbons formed her gloves, pink skirt, and long red back bows. Then her pink boots with red tops, pink choker with red moon, red bun caps, and last of all her gold tiara with a pink moon on it were formed. She struck a pose at the end that was just her mom's original pose.
"Grrrr! Get her!" Black Moon yelled to her cronies and the Black Scouts launched a flurry of attacks.
Black Jupiter Thunder Clap ZAP!
Black Venus Crescent Beam SMASH!
Black Mars Fire IGNITE!
Black Mercury Shine Aqua ILLUSION!
Negatively charged carbon copies of the Sailor Scouts' attacks, these ones had twice the power! Flying at double the normal speed, they flew straight at the dazed Rini. Looking up just in time, she dodged quickly. "That's it! Now I'm mad!" She dusted her skirt off and stood. "Listen, you Sailor-wannabes! I am Sailor Neo-Moon! And in the name of the newly risen moon, I'll punish you!" Sailor Black Moon merely grinned. "Too late, pinky. I've already gotten exactly what I came here for." She flicked her hand and the Sailor Scouts' Crystal Orbs all flew to her. Laughing maniacally, Black Moon signaled to the Black Scouts. "Kill her and take her Crystal Orb!" Then she was gone in a flicker of gray energy. "So, little pinky's gonna fight us?" The Black Scout with neon green eyes scoffed. The blond flipped her hair over her shoulder. "I just want to get this over with so I can go get some beauty rest." Neo-Moon prepared to launch her first ever attack. "And you need that beauty rest, too!"
Moon Tiara Slice!
Neo-Moon threw the pink disc of energy that had once been her tiara at the blond. Smirking, blondie moved slightly to the right, her hair moving slower. With a faint slicing noise, Neo-Moon's tiara cut a good deal of blondie's hair off. Screaming in horror, blondie tried to catch the stray hair. Sailor Neo-Moon caught her tiara and put it back on her head. "Black Venus, I always thought you'd look better with shorter hair." The girl with dark red hair said helping blondie out of the way of the fight. They all seemed to be preparing to leave, so Neo-Moon threw another insult their way. "Hey! Leaving so soon? I thought you could beat me."
Pink Crystal Storm!
A ton of tiny pink crystals formed around Neo-Moon and then, with a mere flick of the wrist, she sent them flying at the retreating villains. All of them got quite the beating from the little crystals. Black Venus cried out in anger as the others teleported away, "I'll get you!" And then they were all gone. Neo-Moon sighed gratefully and then remembered the Scouts. "Guys! Hey!" she hurried to the still Soldiers. Each one was breathing as if they were just sleeping. Neo-Queen Serenity ran towards Neo-Moon and bear-hugged her. "Oh Rini, Rini, Rini! You were so great! I'm so proud!" Endymion limped over and patted her on the back. "I always knew you could do it." And so Sailor Neo-Moon gained her powers and a new moon rises over the Earth.
