My fan fiction starts after Sailor moon SS ends.
Episode one.
November 1, 1997
Usagi, Minako, and Rei were walking to Ami's home for their study group. Their summer vacation was just about over and the had to finish off their ninth grade year.
"Usagi," Rei asked. "do you ever wonder what happened to Hotaru?"
"No. Rei, you know as well as I do that I gave her to Haruka and Michiru after that explosion."
"Well, Don't you wonder what THEY did with her after you gave her to them. I mean they weren't all buddy , buddy with her before. You agree with me don't you Mina-chan? Minako. MINAKO!" Rei yelled.
"Oh what?" She responded a little confused.
"Mina-chan what's wrong? You seem distracted, more than usual!"
"Oh, it's nothing, don't worry about it."
"Not another one of your idols is it?" Rei teased.
A sweatdrop appeared on her forehead. "No. I'm just fine." She benefited the two girls with a warm smile. Her mind had been absolute mush ever since a dream she had two nights before. It seemed like one of Rei's premonitions, but she knew that couldn't be true since she couldn't get premonitions, she didn't have the power. She had seen Neo- Queen Serenity in her dream along with her future self. The Neo-Queen and the Queen of Venus had told her an old villain would return, and the scouts would be hit hard. The Neo-Queen had also told her that she should keep her eye on Makoto as well. She then got a vision of the future senshi, every one was there, except Senshi Jupiter.
'Where is she?'
'Minako, my past self, keep your eye on her, talk to her. We lost a very valuable senshi by our carelessness.'
'But I don't understand.'
'You will' promised Neo-Queen Serenity. That had been the end of her dream.
Minako recalled what her future self had said..."Keep your eye on her...Talk to her...lost a valuable senshi..." But what did it mean? Was she sick? No, Makoto hardly ever got sick. What on God's green earth could be wrong with her?
---------------------***-------------------***-------------------------***-------------------------
Meanwhile, at Ami's home, Ami had just gotten off the phone with Makoto, she had said that she was going to be late, and not to worry. Ami held a great deal of books in her arms. Why can't Usagi learn to take her books home? She wondered to herself. She was trying to put the stack of books down when the doorbell rang. "Oh dear!" She said, trying to figure out what to do first. The doorbell rang again, "Oh dear!" It rang again, and again, and again, now it was getting quicker. "That's Usagi's ring." She said to herself. "The girls are here early."
----------------------***------------------***-------------------------***--------------------------
Sure enough, it was Usagi. "Why isn't she answering the door?" She complained.
"Maybe she's in the bathroom." Rei suggested.
"No, What if she's at Mako-chan's?" Minako put in.
"What if she's in trouble?" Rei said.
"Rei!" Usagi and Minako scolded together.
"What? It's possible!" She said. Suddenly there was a loud crash. "See?"
"Oh my Gosh!" Minako said.
Usagi had her transformation brooch out and ready to transform when Ami opened the door.
"Sorry it took me so long, I had an arm load of books, and I couldn't set them down without dropping them, which is what I ended up doing."
Usagi turned around to glare at Rei. "She's in trouble is she?"
"It was just a suggestion." She countered.
"Guys, what's going on?" Ami asked almost afraid of what they would say.
"Rei made a brilliant, and I say that with as much sarcasm as I can possibly manage, assumption, and said that since you didn't answer the door right away. Well she said that you had to have run into some trouble."
Ami laughed "Rei why would you think that?"
"You can't be too careful, we haven't had anything go wrong in a month, it's just surprising you know?"
"Pharaoh Ninety, and Mistress nine might have been the last enemy." Usagi commented as Ami led the girls to her room.
"Usagi, I highly doubt that's the end. Neo-Queen Serenity, your future self has to put all of Tokyo to sleep for one thousand years. You haven't had to do that yet, and you certainly aren't the Queen yet, and! You have to take your books home with you!" Ami said tossing Usagi's books into her lap.
------------------------***--------------------------***----------------------***------------------------
Meanwhile, across town Michiru and Haruka were walking up Professor Tomoe's walkway.
"I don't understand it Haruka." Michiru said.
"Don't understand what?"
"How, now after everything that's happened, you actually WANT to go visit Hotaru."
"She was possessed then, she's not now."
"I think you're growing attached to her."
Haruka looked down at Michiru without moving her head. "I have no comment on that."
Michiru smiled to herself, and rang the doorbell.
A very familiar woman with green hair answered the door.
Haruka and Michiru sat in the Tomoe living room across from Meiou Setsuna, also known as Sailor Pluto. The dark green haired girl greeted them warmly, which only confused the two more. Then when she told them to come right in, they thought they were losing their minds. Setsuna had invited them in just like it was her home. She told them to take a seat in the living room, and went upstairs to get baby Hotaru.
"Setsuna, I don't want to sound presumptuous, but what are you doing in Professor Tomoe's home?" Michiru asked.
"Well, I knew that Professor Tomoe would need help raising her while he recovered, and I was able to leave the gate of time. So now while Souichi recovers, I'm raising Hotaru."
"You're taking care of her by yourself?" Haruka asked.
"For now." Setsuna replied.
"Would you like some help?" Michiru offered.
"I'd love for you to stay."
"For who to stay?" Souichi Tomoe asked from the doorway.
"Michiru and Haruka. They've offered to help."
"I'll take all the help I can get." He said welcomingly.
"There's a room ready for the two of you upstairs."
"You expected this."
Suddenly the trio saw a bright flash of pink in the sky.
-------------------------***-------------------------***----------------------***----------------------
"Whoa! What was that?" Rei asked jumping up from the table. She rushed to Ami's front porch. A very familiar pink haired girl ran towards the Mizuno residence.
The other three scouts ran up behind her.
"What on earth? Chibi-Usa!" Usagi shouted.
The pink haired girl ran up to Usagi in hysterics. "Usagi! Rei! Minako! Ami! My mother! She's gone!"
"Chibi-Usa, what do you mean she's gone?
-----------------------***--------------------------***-------------------------***----------------------
Neo-Princess Serenity and Neo-Queen Serenity sat in the princess' room. The Queen was listening to the princess recount her adventures in the past, and was that ten year old child excited. The queen of course already knew what had happened, seeing how her daughter had spent most of her time there with her past self. The princess was in the middle of a story when a great flash of light appeared before the princess' window.
"What in the world was that?" The queen asked.
"I have no clue." Neo-princess serenity answered her mother. She ran after her to the balcony. Something reached out behind Chibi-Usa as someone grabbed the queen from the balcony. The last thing she remembered was herself screaming in terror.
----------------------------***------------------------------***--------------------------***----------------------
"Oh Usagi-chan, I know, I know in my heart she's dead, I just know it. I don't want it to be true, but I have to think rationally."
Ten girls, plus Mamoru were in Ami's living room. Usagi had called Haruka and Michiru, and were very surprised to find that Setsuna was with them, moving them into Professor Tomoe's apartment.
"Setsuna, is there any way we could prevent this?" Ami asked.
"Maybe, If you do there are consequences, and if you don't there are consequences as well." The keeper of time replied.
"Why can't we just stop whoever did this in the future?" Makoto asked.
"Because, Chibi-Usa shouldn't have to go through something like that." Ami said.
"Please Puu? I want my mother back." begged Chibi-Usa, "Please?"
"Okay small lady. We'll try."
----------------------------***----------------------***---------------------***-------------------------
Setsuna, Haruka, and Michiru dropped the last arm load of boxes they were carrying and sighed. "Setsuna, are you certain that sending us into the future to help is a wise decision?" Michiru asked.
"They've helped before. They were meant to help. I know it." Setsuna turned and looked out the window. "I'll stay behind after I send you all into the future. That way, I can help Souichi take care of the little one."
Haruka nodded to the green haired senshi. "We'd better get going. The sooner the better."
Michiru giggled. "Haruka, it won't matter how early we leave here, we'll still arrive at the same time there."
"I know, the sooner the better before I change my mind."
---------------------------***-------------------------***-----------------------***---------------------
The girls all stood on the pier where Chibi-Usa had first fallen from the sky.
"Are you all ready?" Setsuna asked them. They nodded.
"We all should probably transform" Ami suggested.
"Good idea" Rei said.
"Mercury Crystal power, make up!" Ami yelled. Ami's henshin wand appeared in her hand and she transformed into Sailor Mercury, she landed in her with her feet apart, and arms ready to fight, her blue skirt, boots and bows all in the right places on her Senshi uniform.
"Venus Crystal power, make up!" Minako yelled. Her henshin wand appeared in her hand, transforming her shoes into orange high heels, her long skirt into a short orange one, her blouse into a white top with her orange jewel and blue bow on the collar. Her red bow stayed put in her hair.
"Moon crisis power, make up!" Usagi shouted. Her brooch opened and the transformation took place. Her small shoes were replaced by knee high red boots, her long skirt replaced by a short blue one. Elbow high gloves were on her arms. Small jewels were put into the ondangos on her head.
"Mars crystal power, make up!" Rei shouted, Her henshin wand appeared in her hand. Instantly fire surrounded her body, transforming her shoes into red high heels, her long skirt into a short red one, a purplish blue bow with a red heart gem appeared on her white uniform top.
"Jupiter crystal power, make up!" Makoto shouted. Her high heeled brown shoes were changed into green lace- up boots her tight green skirt turned into a short green one, a pink bow with a green gem were put on the collar of her uniform.
"Neptune planet power, make up!" yelled Michiru. Her wand appeared in her hand. Her shoes turned into aqua high heels, her school outfit turned into her dark blue and aqua senshi uniform.
"Uranus planet power, make up!" yelled Haruka. Her henshin wand appeared in her hand and her shoes were turned into high heeled boots, her pants changed into her short blue skirt, her baggy shirt and jacket were changed into her with Senshi uniform top and blue bow with her lighter blue gem in it.
"Moon crisis power, make up!" Chibi- Usa yelled. Her brooch opened, and her transformation was taking over, her skirt changed into her pink senshi skirt, a pink bow put itself right where it should be. "Now come on guys, let's go save my mother!" Chibi-Moon exclaimed.
Setsuna gestured and the time staff appeared in her hand. she waved the staff and the gate of time appeared in at the end of the pier. "Make certain you keep your mind on the time period. Small lady will guide you, never let go of each other." The group nodded, and stepped through the gate of time.
They reappeared in a tower across the way from Chibi-Usa's castle bedroom. About two seconds later, The queen and princess appeared at the balcony. A gold heart shaped chain wrapped itself around the queen and pulled the queen off the balcony. A woman's shape appeared on the balcony behind the princess, and Chibi-Usa collapsed on the ground. A familiar laughter erupted from the room.
"No way!" Sailor Jupiter gasped.
"It can't be!" Sailor Neptune said astounded.
The nine who traveled stood in astonishment as Mistress Nine stepped out onto the balcony wearing her long black dress. Sailor Venus' future self leaped up onto the balcony with the Queen over her shoulder.
"Minako-chan?" Sailor Mars breathed.
The pair stepped back into the shadows, and took off out of the castle.
"We have to destroy Mina-chan?" Sailor Moon asked.
"NO!" Sailor Venus exclaimed. "If Mistress Nine is back that must mean my future self is possessed."
"But how could she be back? Pharaoh 90 killed her, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, and Sailor Moon witnessed it." Sailor Mercury stated.
"Right I saw it" Sailor Moon said.
"I guess he didn't kill her well enough." Uranus stated The five inner scouts plus Sailor Chibi-Moon and Tuxedo Kamen turned to look at the outer senshi. "And neither did Hotaru when she banished her from her body."
"You can't destroy her! You can't!" Chibi-Moon cried. "We have to go back further, and try to stop her!" She started to pull out her time key.
"Just wait one minute Small Lady." Setsuna's future self in her Sailor Pluto uniform appeared behind the senshi.
"Puu, we have to save my mother, we have to!" Sailor Chibi-Moon pleaded.
"Small Lady, your mother isn't dead, yet, but you can't go back and try to save her."
"Why not?"
"Because, Hotaru isn't Mistress Nine."
"What?" The eight senshi plus Tuxedo Mask asked in astonishment.
"She was regenerated, Mistress Nine that is, into a whole new self." Sailor Pluto assured the senshi.
"Who is she?" Sailor Moon asked.
"I don't know, but in order to save the Queen, you must destroy Mistress Nine."
"What about Mina-chan's future self?" Sailor Mars asked.
"When Mistress Nine is destroyed the evil will leave her body."
"Okay good now that that's settled. Shouldn't we get on with our mission to save Neo-Queen Serenity?"
"Right!" They all agreed.
"Well one thing is for certain, we all can't just stay here. Makoto, Minako, and Ami, you go back to the past, Minako it certainly isn't safe for you to stay here."
The future Setsuna sent those three back to the past, and the others went on with their journey.
Back at Professor Tomoe's, Setsuna was being run ragged with baby Hotaru. She wouldn't eat anything, she was crying constantly. Every five minutes Setsuna was changing Hotaru's diaper. This was one of those times.
"Once again, baby, there's nothing. What's wrong with you? OH MY!" Setsuna was just about to pick Hotaru up, when she rubbed one of Hotaru's little chubby cheeks. "Oh my, Hotaru, you're burning up!"
Setsuna immediately dressed the child and drove, as fast as she could, to the hospital. "Just hang on honey, hang on." She cooed as she rounded a corner at forty miles an hour. 'I can't believe I couldn't see this was going to happen. If you are testing me somehow, I'll kill you three!' She pulled into the ER parking lot and ran into the hospital. "Where's Doctor Mizuno?" Setsuna demanded of the nurse at the counter.
The stout woman looked her over. "You need to fill these forms out." she said emotionlessly.
"What!?" Setsuna exclaimed.
"You heard me! I didn't stutter!" The nurse answered curtly.
'Bitch!' Setsuna thought. "Look, my child is sick. She needs immediate attention!" She yelled at the stubborn bat.
"Fill out the forms!"
"I'll fill out the damn forms when I get to see Doctor Mizuno!"
"Yes, can I help you?" A polite looking blue haired woman asked behind her.
'Oh thank God!' Setsuna thought.
"What seems to be the problem?"
"Hotaru, she's sick, oh God I'm so worried!"
"Don't worry, we'll have this little one back to her normal self in no time. I promise" Ami's mother said taking Hotaru from Setsuna.
"Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. This may be rash of me to ask but where's the father?"
"Huh?" She asked in astonishment. 'Oh God I hadn't seen this either. You guys must be getting a kick out of watching me suffer aren't you?' What could she possibly say? She followed Dr. Mizuno into a hospital room and sat on the bed. "Her father? Well he's, injured, and asleep at home."
"Okay." Ami's mother said putting her stethoscope back on her neck, "It's seems to be only just a flu. Just keep her warm, let her sweat the fever out. It isn't very high, only about a hundred. Give her luke warm baths. She'll complain, but it's only to be expected. She'll be fine"
"Thank you Dr. Mizuno."
"Here's a prescription for an antibiotic, You can get it at any drug store."
"Thank you again."
"You're welcome Ms... I didn't catch your name."
"Meiou Setsuna. I know your daughter."
"Do you?" Setsuna nodded. "How?"
Setsuna smiled. 'Oh because I've fought off monsters that would destroy the world with her.' Yeah right like she could say that. "I'm the councilor at the high school you enrolled her in."
"Are you? Well, Meiou-san, I'm glad to meet you. I'll see you at orientation in July." She rubbed Hotaru's cheek. "Take care of that baby."
"I will." Setsuna picked up Hotaru and the prescription, and went to the drug store. After getting the syrup she knew would taste awful to the poor child, she took Hotaru home. First thing she did was give Hotaru a luke warm bath, as Mrs. Mizuno instructed. Boy oh boy did that child have a set of lungs on her! Souichi had even come into the bathroom once to see what the commotion was about. She wailed and wailed until Setsuna picked her up out of the water, and dried her off. She went right to sleep after getting dressed in a warm sleeper.
Setsuna collapsed an the couch. "What a tiring day!" she said. "I'll just sit here a moment, then I'll go to bed." Two minutes later she was sound asleep.

San Francisco, California, USA.
November 7, 1997
Sixteen year old Alexis Jules had thought her world had come to an end. Her friends hell her "family" wouldn't understand. There was no way she could confront her adoptive mother and her sister about it. They would think she was crazy and cart her off to the nearest insane asylum. Yeah, like they would believe two ghost white cats had talked to her! They also wouldn't believe that they told her some dead girl's sprit was alive in her body, AND she had powers, powers that could destroy the planet she represented. Um, ha fat chance! She now sat in her room with a pen with a planet on the top of it floating in front of her.
The cat named Zeus spoke now. "You must take that pen and say Earth planet power, make up."
The cat named Hera spoke "If you don't you'll never be able to take your place among the other senshi."
"And why would I want to?"
"Because it's your destiny. You are destined to protect the planet Earth at all costs." Hera scolded.
"Here goes nothing" She grabbed the pen and shouted "Earth Planet Power, make up!" From the planet on top of the pen water cascaded down over Alexis' body. A white body suit, a dark blue bow with a heart shaped purple gem appeared in the middle of the bow, which was positioned at the base of the "V" of her top. A small black cape appeared on her back. A purple skirt appeared around her waist, a black bow was at the top of the skirt. Mid-forearm gloves with dark blue ends appeared on the ends, purple knee high slip on boots appeared on her feet. She ended with her weight on her left leg, her left arm on her left hip, her right arm straight down behind her, her right leg stretched out. "What's this?" She asked astonished.
"This is Sailor Earth reborn in you." Zeus told her.
"Okay so what powers do I have?"
"I don't know, but in the middle of a battle you'll just know."
"I'll just know? Oh that'll help."
"It's the reborn princess of the Earth, Sailor Earth in you. The spirit didn't forget after all these years."
"And how many years is that?" Alexis responded looking over her shoulder in the full length mirror. "Oh lord this skirt is short!"
"Alexis?" her adoptive mother called from the door.
Her eyes widened as she spun wildly around to face the cats, "How do I get out of this?"
"Drop the tiara!" Hera whispered.
Alexis just noticed the gold "V" shaped tiara, with an aquamarine at the tip. She jerked it off saying, to Zeus and Hera, "Get under my bed!" and to Sandra, "Just a second!"
Once again, the water came, but the transformation was reversed, it all went into her tiara then it disappeared, leaving her in her bathrobe again.
Alexis went to the door and pulled it opened. "Yeah?" she said leaning against it.
"Who were you talking to?"
"Talking to?" Sandra nodded, "Myself. I was just thinking out loud."
"I heard a male voice in here."
"No you didn't."
"Yes, I did." Sandra said pushing herself into the room. She looked around, opening the closet, and looking under the bed.
"See I told you there's no one else in here!"
"No, but there are these." She pulled out Zeus and Hera by the scruff.
Alexis smiled weakly, "Can I keep them?"
Sandra sighed at the pitiful looking cats, she felt as though these little guys were exactly what Alexis needed. "Yes you can keep them, but they are your responsibility."
"Okay Sandra, I understand."
"Oh, I almost forgot, this came for you in the mail."
"Thanks." She opened the letter as Sandra walked out. "It's from Tokyo. Who in Tokyo knows me?"
Hera spoke, "I most take fault for that. I wrote a letter to Juuban High School. You have high potential fir going there, as well as your sister, Hayley."
"Hayley?" She was astonished, why would her seventeen year old sister want to go to Tokyo to finish off her last year in high school? "Why is she going? And, how can you write?" She asked looking at the cats paws.
"Just read the letter."
"Dear Miss. Jules, We are ecstatic that you have shown an interest in enrolling in our school for the duration of your stay here in Tokyo. We accept you with open arms. We recognize that it'll just be you and your sister, we have reserved a place for you to stay. The address is below. The family's name is Tomoe. We will be expecting you in January next year for orientation. You and your sister can finish off your Junior and Senior year. Can't wait to meet you. Sincerely, John Hentou." She sat on the bed as Hayley burst into her room.
"What kind of joke do you think you are pulling?"
"I'm not pulling any joke, Hera is."
"Who is Hera?"
The white cat stood on Alexis' bed and said "Hayley, the time has come for you to know who you are."
--------------------***------------------------***----------------------***---------------------------
'There's something coming.' Princess Alexis thought. 'Hayley do you feel that?' she asked the heir to the throne of South America.
'Yes Alexis, what is it?'
'I don't know, but we will not accept help from Prince Endymion or either of the Serenitys.'
'Of course not, but what if...!' Hayley asked uncertain.
'"NO HELP!!!'
'Right. We will fight by ourselves.'
'We are the strongest of the senshi, the strongest of Princess Serenity's guardians.'
'Of course baby sister be careful.'
'I will.' Alexis ended their conversation, and called on her guardian cats.
"Yes your majesty?" Zeus answered from the doorway of the throne room.
"There is evil near. Do me a favor?"
The two cats were humbled by the show of friendship from the Princess. "Yes of course your majesty. Anything."
"Contact Luna and Artemis, only to ascertain the whereabouts of this evil."
"Yes your majesty." Hera responded.
Hera and Zeus went to the communication room. Zeus jumped on the stool and hit the button with his paw. "Luna, Artemis, come in. LUNA! ARTEMIS! Hera there's nothing!"
"What?"
"Look at this, there's nothing there."
Hera jumped up beside Zeus, "Oh my God! What happened?"
"Do you think they could have!"
Hera nodded. "Zeus, the evil is nearer than we thought." The two cats ran back to the throne room, "Princess, the moon kingdom didn't answer, they've been destroyed!"
The princess' eyes grew wide with terror, "Oh GOD!" 'Hayley?! We must get to the Moon Kingdom as quickly as possible'
'Why? What happened?'
'They've been destroyed!'
'Oh, God!' There was silence from her sister as she ran to the teleport pad.
'Hayley, are you coming?' nothing 'Hayley? HAYLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!' She screamed as she felt her sister die. 'Oh GOD NOOOOO! Hayley not you too. We've already lost Selenia' She collapsed on the ground. 'Come on Alexis, you can do this.' she told herself. She stepped onto the teleportation pad, and concentrated on the Moon Kingdom.
It was in shambles. The deserted terrain scared Alexis. She heard and evil laugh off in the distance. "EARTH PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!" She yelled to transform.
Sailor Earth wandered around the remains of what was once a thriving Kingdom. She soon came across a figure in a white dress. "Queen Serenity!" she exclaimed running to the fallen Queen.
"Princess Alexis! My dear, you must leave now!" She said weakly.
"No my Queen, I must stay and protect you!"
"There's nothing you can do." she said with her dying breath.
"Queen Serenity? No." Alexis bit back the tears that were threatening to spill out. Alexis heard something behind her. Instantly she knew it was evil, "TORRENTIAL MONSOON RAINS!" she yelled hurling a wave of water at her opponent.
Queen beryl shook it off and smiled.
Alexis heard the movement behind her back, but couldn't turn and attack quick enough. A sword was plunged deep into her shoulder blades. It found her heart, and she was dead before she hit the ground.
----------------------***-------------------***---------------------***------------------
November 16, 1997
The three inner senshi walked to the ice cream shop five blocks from Usagi's house.
"They still have no clue as to Mistress 9's whereabouts." Ami said.
"They've been there for two weeks!" Minako replied.
"I know but they still can't figure it out, they can't even figure out how she got reincarnated."
"Hey, who's that?" Makoto asked.
"Who's who?" Minako looked around for who Makoto was talking about.
"Look at those two girls down the street. I've never seen them before."
"No way! Hmm, maybe we should go say hello."
The three girls caught up to the two young ladies walking slowly down the block.
"Hiya!" Minako said to the two.
"Huh? Oh, hello!" The girl with the short light brown hair said.
"Hi! I'm Aino Minako, what's your name?"
"Alexis Jules, and this is my sister Hayley."
"Hello Alexis, Hayley. I'm Mizuno Ami, please excuse my friend's rudeness. How is it you know Japanese so well?"
"Oh, she was fine. San Francisco is no worse. My sister and I studied for as long time to learn. We knew we always wanted to come and stay in Japan. But it's just amazing that we get to go to school here as well."
"Where do you go to school?" Makoto asked noting the two's American looking clothes.
"Here in Tokyo, at Juuban high."
"What year are you?"
"I will be entering my second year, and my sister will be entering her fourth year in January."
"Wow! Her fourth year?" Minako exclaimed.
Hayley smiled, "Yeah, do you have names for your grades?"
"Like what do you mean?" Ami asked.
"Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior?"
Just then Makoto's communicator went off. "Will you please excuse me?"
Hayley and Alexis nodded.
Makoto ran around the corner and pulled out the communicator. "What?" She growled into the screen.
Usagi and Rei appeared, "Meet us at the dock." Rei said.
"What's going on?"
"Jeez Makoto, just meet us there!
Makoto poked her head around the corner, and motioned for Ami and Minako to follow her. The two girls said their good-byes, and ran to catch up with Makoto. "Rei and Usagi want us to meet them at the dock."
"Why?" Minako asked.
"I don't know, but it must be something serious."
"Lets go then." Ami said quickly.
---------------------***----------------------***----------------------***------------------
"So what's up guys?" Makoto asked.
"What do you guys know about Sailor Earth, Universe, or Star?" Rei asked.
"Nothing why?"
"They have been fighting along side us. They are most definitely on our side though, they act like they have been since before Neo-Queen Serenity puts Tokyo to sleep."
"Hmm, We'll keep our eyes peeled. How is everyone?" Ami promised.
"Chibi-Usa is losing hope. We've traveled all over the moon kingdom. Ami we need Sailor Mercury. Rei will stay here with Makoto and Minako."
"Usagi, why do you need me?"
"We need her VR visor and computer."
Ami nodded and transformed. "Let's go."
Rei, Minako and Makoto said good bye to the two. "Be careful!" Minako shouted after them. "Oh, Rei! There are a few new foreign exchange students here.
"Really?"
"Yeah, Hayley and Alexis Jules. They're from America."
"I'll bet they are the new senshi." Rei said.
"Why would you say that?"
"New girls, new senshi, it's too convenient."
"Guys, I've gotta get going, I'll see you later!" Makoto said running off.
*********Meanwhile*************
"They took off so fast." Hayley said.
"Oh well, Hayley! Look! The monster alert. Here we go!"
"Universe cosmic power, make up!"
"Earth planet power, make up!"
The two girls finished their transformation. Sailor Universe held her staff diagonally across her body. Her knee high boots were teal, as was her skirt, and the tops of her mid forearm gloves. A baby blue bow was tied at the back of her fuku, and a dark blue bow, with an opal was attached to the base of a dark blue cape that was around her neck . "Let's go." Universe said.
------------------------***----------------------***----------------------***--------------------------
Sailors Venus and Mars already had their hands full with the monster.
"Jeez, this thing is worse than the Death Busters!" Sailor Venus exclaimed.
"Mistress 9 is on her own now. She has her own team of minions. AGH!"
"Love and Beauty Shock!"
"Flame Sniper!"
The tiger like droid easily dodged the attacks of the two girls.
"Damn!" Rei muttered.
"TORRENTIAL MONSOON RAINS!" Out of nowhere a water blast hurled itself at the droid.
At the same time the water attack was launched another voice from behind the senshi called, "BLACK HOLE BLAST!" The attack sent all the light around the scene out. The two confused girls heard a rumble above them, much like the beginning to Sailor Jupiter's, Supreme Thunder attack. Then a crack of lightening streaked down from the sky hitting the droid at the same instant the water blast hit her.
The monster was destroyed, and the lights came back on, but there was no trace of where the two attacks came from.
"Was that Sailor Jupiter?" Mars asked.
"No, I haven't seen anything that immense come from her. I think these are the new scouts you were telling us about." Venus answered her.
"Sailor Earth and Sailor Universe." Mars nodded. "Did you see that team work?"
"Did you see that power?"
"Venus! Where is Jupiter?"
"Oh God Rei! We have to get to her, she could be in trouble!"
Rei and Minako ran to Makoto's apartment. "Oh God Rei, my dream!"
"What dream?"
"I had a dream that my future self and Neo-Queen Serenity came to me and told me to keep a watchful eye on Makoto. All of us were there, but Makoto wasn't!"
"Oh Jesus, Minako we have to get there." Rei exclaimed. The two girls put all they had into running head first over the rooftops to get to Makoto's apartment.
"Mako-chan!" Minako called into the door. She tried the handle, her door was unlocked.
"Has she gone completely crazy?" Rei said irritated.
"Minako," Makoto weakly called out. She was lying on the floor, a half empty glass of water, an empty bottle of aspirin, and an empty bottle of pain killers lay beside her.
Minako immediately panicked, "OH MY GOD! MAKOTO! NO!" Minako screamed, Rei for once kept her cool, and ran to call 9-1-1.
Minako gathered Makoto in her arms, "Oh God Makoto, just hang on, I'm here now, just hang on."
Fifteen minutes later Makoto was in the Emergency room getting her stomach pumped.
"I cant believe she did this." Rei said in the waiting room. "With everyone else in the future, we're all alone. There's no way to get ahold of them."
"Rei, I believe she did it. Read this." Minako handed Rei a letter addressed to Makoto.
"Kino Makoto, We understand you know a fellow soldier, Scott Penn, we have written to all family and friends. He was injured in a training program. He died last week. The memorial service has taken place, but we will provide for you to visit his grave, and gather any of his belongings." Rei looked up from the letter. "Her ex-boyfriend? The one who dumped her the night her parents died and she needed him the most? She tried to commit suicide over that? Minako, she has gone crazy."
"No, she hasn't, she's just depressed. We can't leave her alone." She paused for a moment. Then glanced up at Rei, determination written all over her face. "Rei-chan I'm going to take her in."
--------------------***----------------------***--------------------***-------------------------
"I can't believe how big you've gotten!" Setsuna said to Hotaru. How is this happening? She asked herself. In the past two weeks Hotaru had aged five years. If she kept that up, within a month she'd be the inner senshi's age.
"Setsuna Mama? How come I'm so big?" Hotaru asked climbing into Setsuna's lap.
"I don't know Hotaru baby."
The child giggled at the nickname, "Setsuna Mama, I'm not a baby anymore."
"I know that." She said turning Hotaru on her lap, "But you'll always be my Hotaru baby." She said tickling her.
Once Setsuna had stopped, Hotaru said, "I'm gonna go read now Setsuna Mama."
"Do you know?" Souichi asked from the kitchen.
"No, it's baffling even me. Not even my sight is letting me see why she could be aging at this rate." She sighed. "But, I know that the spirit of Senshi Saturn will come to her, and when that day comes, she will grow to sixteen years old."
Souichi almost dropped the mug of coffee he was holding. "We can't continue to hide this from the girls much longer."
"We won't have to for much longer."
------------------***--------------***-----------------***------------------
A couple of days later, Makoto was living at the Aino household. As the family was sitting down to dinner the phone rang. "Makoto," Mrs. Aino called, "It's for you."
"Excuse me please." Makoto asked getting up from the table. "Hello?" She asked into the receiver.
"I know who you are Kino Makoto, or should I say Sailor Jupiter?"
Makoto took a step back, "Who is this?" She asked. It sounded a lot like Mistress 9 herself.
"That's none of your concern, anyway, you'll find out soon enough. Meet me at the boat docks, and bring Sailor Venus." There was a tiny chuckle. "I mean, Aino Minako with you."
"Tell me one thing, do I know you?"
"Yes, you know me, and your friend fought with me." The voice said then hung up.
Makoto walked out to the dining room, 'How am I going to get there without causing suspicion?' "Mrs. Aino? Do you have any orange juice?"
"Um, no Mako-chan, I'm sorry I don't think we do."
"Would you mind if I went and got some?"
"Not at all, but hurry back." She said digging into her purse, and handed her some yen.
"Mina-chan, why don't you go with me?"
"I think you can go on your own, it never fazed you before."
"MINAKO." She said in a much firmer tone. "Would you go with me?" she asked tapping her communicator
Minako's eyes widened as she finally understood what Makoto was telling her. "Yes, I'll go. We'll be back in a little bit mom!" She said practically running to the door with Makoto. "Mako-chan what's up?"
As soon as the brunette shut the door she took off running.
Minako's shoulders slumped, "MAKOTO!" she shouted chasing after her. "Mako-chan, what's wrong?"
Makoto relayed the phone conversation to her. "We have to transform!"
"Do you think Mistress 9 could be here in our time, with Neo-Queen Serenity?"
"Who knows, but let's just be careful and transform!"
"Right! Venus Crystal Power, Make Up!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power, Make Up!"
The two senshi ran as fast as they could towards the dock.
---------------------***--------------------***---------------------***----------------------
"Do you think they'll come?" The black haired woman asked.
"I know Sailor Jupiter, she's stubborn, she'll keep berating Minako until she complies." The dark green haired woman said.
"Look it's them, You were right."
------------------***----------------------***------------------------***-----------------
"Sailor Jupiter, look! It's, its,"
"Sailor Pluto! And Sailor Saturn! No wonder it sounded like Mistress 9."
"Call Sailor Mars!" Pluto instructed.
"Wait a minute, first," Jupiter protested.
Saturn lowered her Glaive. "First you'll call Mars, then we'll explain." She said fiercely.
"Jupiter, go call Mars." Venus suggested.
Jupiter walked off a few feet so she could use her communicator in private.
"Rei, get down to the boat docks, NOW!"
"What's going on?"
"DO IT!" She growled into the communicator, then went back to the others.
"How did you survive?"
"Survive what?" Saturn asked.
"The blast when you and Sailor Moon blasted Pharaoh 90? How did you survive it?"
"I used my Death Reborn Revolution attack. It kills my enemy, but saves me."
"Okay, but shouldn't you be only a month old?" Jupiter asked.
Saturn laughed. "I should be, but I aged rather quickly, that's the side effects to the attack."
"But when you used the attack you were only thirteen, but now you look 18. How is that possible?
"Sixteen actually, but I know, I don't understand it either, but it's what happened."
"Hey what's going on guys?" Sailor Mars asked running up. "Whoa! Hotaru? HOW!?"
Venus explained the stories to Mars. "But we still don't know why they called us here though."
"The other scouts need us five. They need our help. Sailors Earth and Universe's future selves along with my future self have been destroyed."
"But you are the strongest senshi!"
"Yes, but Earth and Universe are stronger than Sailor Saturn." Pluto said.
"Then we must find out who they really are." Jupiter said.
"We already know who it is, it's just the problem of revealing ourselves to them, they don't even know I'm sixteen yet." Saturn said.
"Who is it?"
"Alexis and Hayley Jules." Pluto finished.
"We'd better get going then don't you think?" Mars said.
Pluto and Saturn led the way to Tomoe's home. Pluto walked right in without knocking, and called out for Alexis and Hayley.
Makoto heard Alexis' voice from upstairs, "Just a second Setsuna."
"Um, guys don't you think we'd better de-transform?" Venus asked.
"No, let them see you." Saturn said.
A few minutes later Alexis and Hayley appeared at the top of the stairs. Alexis pointed at Mars and Venus, "You! We saved your butts!" She said.
"Alexis!" Hayley said with a warning tone in her voice.
"What? They obviously know anyway. What's the point of hiding it from them, from what we are a part of? Earth planet power, make up!"
Hayley sighed and looked as her sister's casual jeans and T-shirt was changed into her blue, purple, and black scout uniform. She rolled her eyes, "Universe cosmic power, make up." She said under her breath. "Now that you know who we are, what's going to happen to us?" Hayley asked suspiciously.
"We must go help the others in the future." Pluto answered.
"The others?" Alexis asked excited.
Sailor Pluto smiled, "Yes, Sailors Mercury, Moon, Chibi Moon, Neptune Uranus, and the future king of the moon Tuxedo Kamen."
Hayley stepped forward. "Why are they in the future?"
"Neo-Queen Serenity, Sailor Moon's future self and Sailor Chibi Moon's future mother was kidnapped by a past enemy of ours, Mistress 9. She turned Sailor Venus' future self evil, so now we must find the future Senshi excluding you two and myself. Mistress 9 was too much for our future selves. But if we all combine our power, it will hopefully destroy her."
"Well, then Setsu... uh..." Hayley caught herself and smiled. "Sailor Pluto. What are we waiting for?"
The seven scouts stood on the docks as Setsuna opened the Time Gate. "Are you ready?" She asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Alexis stated. Sailor Pluto could tell that the sisters were scared to death but weren't about to admit it.
"We'll be going to a time before your future selves pass away?" Makoto asked Pluto.
"No! that would play with time too much Rei wouldn't be here which means we wouldn't have Sailors Earth or Universe. The effect would be instant, and too weird." Sailor Pluto replied. "The five of us are going to catch up to the other scouts just before the upcoming battle, Jupiter and Venus you are going to pull my future self, along with Earth and Universe's future selves out of the way. Just be careful not to get *Yourselves* killed." Pluto sent Jupiter and Venus on their way and turned to Mars, Universe, Saturn, and Earth. "Now we will go."
---------------------------***-------------------------***------------------------***---------------
Sailors Venus and Jupiter arrive at a battle scene. What lay before them is astonishing. Sailors Universe, Earth, Chibi Moon, Moon, Mars, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto along with Tuxedo Kamen were in deep with Mistress 9's minions. The droids were strong, stronger than the Witches 5 droids.
"DEEP SUBMERGE!"
"I'm goin' for it!" Jupiter said. "OAK EVOLUTION!"
"LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!"
The three attacks combined and destroyed the droid.
Neptune whirled around, astonished, "What the?!"
Uranus ran up to her pulling her out of the way of an attack, "Ask questions later!
"VOLCANO LAVA FLOW!" Sailor Earth yelled.
"SOLAR FLARE SHINE" Her sister called.
The two combined attacks did nothing against the droids. Jupiter and Venus stood staring, they had no idea what to do, they knew they couldn't get to them by running, "VENUS LOVE-ME CHAIN!" Venus' chain grabbed the two senshi before they were turned into dust.
"Jupiter, Venus! Pluto is in danger!" Universe obviously knew who they were.
"dead, AGH!" Pluto started her most used attack as a whisper, but screamed when the droid punched her across the field.
The four girls ran to Pluto's side. She was in her knees about to be finished off as Jupiter yelled, "JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!" Her attack stunned the droid and Universe called upon her most powerful attack, "DEATH TIME STOP!"
"EARTHQUAKE BREAK UP!"
"VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK."
The four girl's combined attacks killed the droid.
Sailor Universe picked up Sailor Pluto. "Let's get out of here."
By the time the girls reached safety Pluto had regained consciousness. "Jupiter, VENUS!" she shouted the latter in fear.
"Don't worry, my future self is still with Mistress 9."
Pluto shook herself out of her stupor. "Yes of course, You just startled me Minako."
"Pluto we need to…"
"Yes I know. Thank you for saving us." She sent the two on their way then.
------------------------***-------------------------***---------------------***--------------------
The battle was heated. Sailors Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Chibi Moon, Mars Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Universe, along with Tuxedo Mask were deep in droids.
"This is bad guys." Sailor Moon whined.
"JUPITER, OAK…!"
"DEEP…!"
The girls attempted to work in pairs together.
"EVOLUTION!"
"SUBMERGE!" The two shouted as one. The girls took out four droids with their attacks.
The sailor sisters looked and nodded at each other.
"Use your strongest attack Universe!" Earth shouted.
"Right." She readied herself for her attack, and at least twenty droids surrounded her. "Death…" Her arms were involuntarily raised above her head. "Time…!" radiant light surrounded her body. "STOP!" The light blasted out of her body, and killed all of the droids surrounding her. Universe looked over at her sister who was in big trouble.
"Earthly winds blow!" a great gust of wind picked up two of the droids and sent them flying.
Then Mars' voice, and fire was carried over Alexis' shoulder. "MARS FLAME SNIPER!"
"We need to do a sailor planet attack!" Moon called.
"Come on you guys! Strongest attacks all at once, then we can to whatever a sailor Planet attack is!" Hayley shouted.
"MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY"
"VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!"
"EARTHLY WINDS BLOW!"
"MOON GORGEOUS MEDITATION"
"MARS FLAME SNIPER!"
"JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!"
"SILENCE GLAIVE SURPRISE!"
"SUBMARINE REFLECTION!"
"SPACE SWORD BLASTER!"
"dead scream."
"DEATH TIME STOP!"
All the senshi shouted, and whispered their strongest attacks, with the exception of Chibi-Moon, who had raced to the fallen future Venus. Their combined attacks finished off a great deal of the army that had attacked them.
All the past senshi surrounded a fallen future Venus, whom had been injured by Sailor Saturn.
"You think to change her Sailor Moon?" Pluto asked.
"After the attack." She stood over Venus.
"Moon Crisis Power!" her scout uniform melted away revealing Princess Serenity's ball dress.
Short note: If something like this happens and the same thing happens to everyone, I'll write only the dialogue and not the action. With the exception of the first person's action.
"Mercury Crystal Power!" Mercury shouted. The symbol of Mercury appeared on her forehead.
"Venus Crystal Power!"
"Earth Planet Power!"
"Moon Crisis Power!"
"Mars Crystal Power!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power!"
"Saturn Planet Power!"
"Uranus Planet Power!"
"Neptune Planet Power!"
"Pluto Planet Power!"
"Universe Cosmic Power!"
The symbols of all the scouts shone up form their foreheads, and combined into a brilliant light. The light grew as the senshi concentrated on making their attack very powerful, then they shouted together, "SAILOR PLANET ATTACK!" The light turned into a huge ball of energy, then shot out, and engulfed the droids, killing each and every one of them.
"NO!" A familiar voice screeched, "You puny scouts think you can defeat me?! I'm the future I'm stronger now!"
"Hold on guys, keep giving me your power!" Sailor Moon said, taking out the ginishouishou. The symbols shot out more light and entered the crystal.
"You won't beat me!" Mistress 9 came into view. She shot her hair at Sailor Moon. "Why go for the future, when You can have the past?"
The power of the crystal protected her, and the light cut off Mistress 9's hair. It was so short, Mistress 9 looked almost like a grown up Hotaru now.
"Where is Queen Serenity?" Uranus shot at her.
"She's safe."
"Safe in your care?"
"She is unharmed."
"Show us!" Uranus demanded.
Mistress 9 waved her arm and Neo-Queen Serenity appeared.
"Mama!" Chibi Moon called over her shoulder.
"Stay there baby! You must help Sailor Moon." The queen called.
"Mistress 9 we will beat you!" Sailor Moon shouted. "Eternal Moon Power!" Usagi didn't know what made her do it, but she shouted out a call for a new transformation. "Scouts, don't worry about this, I know it's unstable, but you must assume your eternal forms. I know it'll exhaust you, but the Silver Crystal will protect you, and your past lives will also keep the power in balance." Usagi also didn't know what made her say that, but she figured it was Serenity, her past life, speaking through her.
"Eternal Mercury Power!" The symbol of her representing planet glowed even brighter on her forehead as she sprouted wings from her back.
"Eternal Venus Power!"
"Eternal Earth Power!"
"Eternal Moon Power!"
"Eternal Mars Power!"
"Eternal Jupiter Power!"
"Eternal Saturn Power!"
"Eternal Uranus Power!"
"Eternal Neptune Power!"
"Eternal Pluto Power!"
"Eternal Universe Power!"
The scouts fed the silver crystal all of their energy.
"What are you doing?" Mistress 9's eye's widened. "No! NO!" a blood curdling scream erupted from her lips as the brilliant white light hit her. She tried to counter act the light but failed and hung her head as she let the light hit her.
The light from the crystal died out and the Senshi collapsed.
"You all must transform back." Pluto said weakly.
The other Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen agreed. They all transformed into their human forms.
"Sailor Moon, how did you know we had Eternal forms?" Amy asked.
"I didn't, Serenity spoke through me."
"What?" Makoto asked, thoroughly confused.
"Princess Serenity speaks to me. I guess she knew we were in trouble"
"Mama, Senshi!!" Chibi-Usa shouted, and ran to Neo-Queen Serenity. The woman opened her arms to the girl. "I was so worried mama!"
"I know child, I know." Neo-Queen Serenity said.
"Mama, weren't you worried?"
"No, I knew my past self and the senshi wouldn't fail you, don't forget daughter, I was there once as well."
Minako stepped forward with her future self, "Neo-Queen Serenity, why…"
"Because you need Makoto, besides being a friend, she is a strong scout. You will need her assistance in a future battle, If I hadn't came to you, you wouldn't have known and we would have lost you, and ourselves." The noble woman said, Chibi-Usa tugging at her skirt.
"Mama let's go home!"
The wizened Usagi looked down at her child. "Soon."
The future Venus stepped forward to kneel before her queen.
The Queen smiled down at her. "Now, Venus, you won't try to kidnap me again will you?"
The scout was taken aback by this, and then burst into laughter, "Oh, Serenity, I'm so sorry…I can't…"
Serenity pulled Venus in for a hug, "It's okay. Just don't let it happen again." she then turned to her past. "Past senshi, you all have done well. Now you have a great journey ahead of you. Unless we are in need of your assistance, Usagi... Chibi-Usagi shall stay here with me." She turned to her court. "Take Small Lady back to the palace." Then back to the others "Pluto, take them back, Oh, and Usagi!"
Her past straightened herself. "Yes?"
"Good luck on your high school entrance exams, You'll need it!"
