A New Enemy
*A shadowy figure on a white horse gallops through a misty field. The figure turns and it is a beautiful girl with tears running from deep green eyes, trickling over her cheeks. "Onegai, help me, onegai, awaken me..." she whispers. Her long green hair billows around her and she reins her horse in, "Onegai....." she whispers. She reaches out with a pale hand and....*
"Rei-chan!" Hino Rei woke up with a start, "Rei-chan, daijoubu ka? I've never seen you fall asleep like that at work before!" a bubbly voice said. Rei rubbed her eyes and sat up, seeing Tsukino Usagi standing over her. 'what a strange dream' she thought to herself. She stood up and brushed her hakama off.
"Gomen, I don't know what happened. I was just sweeping up and the next thing I know you are waking me up!" Rei smiled. "I was having the strangest dream." she added, frowning slightly.
"Sa, ikimashou, Luna called a meeting at my house!" Usagi smiled, helping Rei up.
"Hai!" Rei said.

"It's been three months since we defeated Galaxia." Luna began, smiling at all the Inner senshi seated around her.
"It's been awfully quiet!" Artemis added grinning.
"Hai, I'm almost bored!" Kino Makoto exclaimed, setting a tray of cookies down.
"Well, I'm glad!" Usagi said, her eyes turned into stars and she grabbed several cookies. After a disapproving look from Luna, she set a couple back down. "I do miss Seiya and the others though." she added, lowering her cookies and looking sad.
"We should be happy for them!" Luna encouraged gently, setting a paw on her arm.
"I know." Usagi said smiling glumly.
"Why did you call this meeting anyway?" Mizuno Ami asked, closing the book she had been working on.
"Well, I was reading a American paper." Luna started,
"I didn't know you knew English!" Aino Minako butted in, looking shocked.
"You'd be surprised." Luna said dryly, rolling her eyes. "Anyway." She said, opening a paper up, "I was reading this American paper Usagi's father had and I want you all to look at this article." she said pushing it forward.
Minako read the headline out loud, "Mystery Crime Fighter Busts Up Drug Deal."
"Wow! That sounds just like SailorV!" Usagi exclaimed looking at Minako.
Minako nodded and read the article quickly, "It says here that a person in a ninja outfit attacked a major drug deal going on in a warehouse. The person, assumed to be a man, captured a big king pin of that city. When the police arrived, they found them all tied up. When the criminals were questioned about who had done this they described the person, he was wearing a black ninja outfit and a mask that completely covered his face except for his eyes. They said that he was carrying was carrying a very sharp sword," She paused and showed them a fuzzy picture taken from a security camera. "It looks like a bokken. Anyway, they also said he acted strange, in an almost mechanical manner and that he preformed feats that the criminals claimed would be impossible for a normal person, like jumping up extremely high, seeming to float in the air, and moving like a blur. They also said his eyes were glassy." Minako paused, her eyes widening. "They said he called 'himself' "Sailorvictory."
"NANI!" the other 4 exclaimed, Usagi dropped her cookie ,and Luna and Artemis just looked at each other. Minako collected herself, and started to talk again, "Sailorvictory disappeared after capturing them. It finishes to say that it was dark, so they couldn't tell if it was a man or woman for sure." she stopped and all the girls turned to stare at Luna.
"I think we need to go to America and check this out." Luna said finally. The other girls gasped and looked at each other.
"It's too much of a coincidence to be taken lightly." Artemis concluded.
There was a long pause of disbelief, total silence.
"OH BOOYYY!!!" Usagi shrieked, breaking the quiet, "WE get to go to AMERICA!" She jumped up and down on the couch, and clapped her hands. The other girls cringed at the decibels.
"Usagi, calm down!" Luna said smiling. "We aren't going for fun, we're going for senshi business!" she chided.
"We'll still get to have a little fun....won't we?" Usagi asked pathetically.
"Hai.." Luna sighed.
"Can Mamoru come?" Usagi asked.
"Yes, I already talked to him, I'm not sure about Michiru and Haruka though. I talked to Setsuna and Hotaru and they said they would stay here in case anything happens." Luna said as she shut the paper. The other girls looked at each other in excitement.
"This is going to be sooo exciting!" Minako exclaimed jumping up and down with Usagi.
"And I'll get that poser SailorV! Who does he think he is? There is and always will be only one Sailor for victory! ME!" Minako exclaimed making a V with her fingers and posing. The other girls giggled and rolled their eyes.

Deep in space a glittering ball of energy, shining with iridescent light of all colors of the rainbow, approached earth. It circled the bright living planet before crashing into the moon, making another crater near the ruined moon palace. Shimmering light flowed from the object and danced across the moon, and it finally settled itself on the ravaged palace, the remnants of castle were instantly restored to their original splendor. Fountains splashed in the courtyard, and the gardens bloomed bright once more. Tall columns sprung up around the courtyard, resplendent in their glory.
The ball suddenly exploded silently, sprinkling light everywhere.
"Hai..." a woman's voice crooned, deep and seductive, yet beautiful in a strange way. "One more planet to add to my collection." it said in a loving voice, tinged with malice.
Inside the ancient throne room, a woman appeared on the silver throne reserved for Queen Serenity. The moment her body materialized, the holy throne flickered, and for a moment it seemed a small shriek of death cried out, before it turned to an ordinary gold, bedecked with diamonds and other jewels.
The woman had endlessly long black hair, streaked with every color imaginable. She was wearing a black dress, which seemed to shimmer like oil, shifting with every move to a different color. Her fathomless eyes, which also seemed to shift from color to color according to her mood, gazed fondly around the room, a light blue at the moment. Her eyes caressed the rooms beauty and she looked out between the pillars at the earth floating pristinely in space, the center of so many souls' lives, bustling with untapped energy. Suddenly her eyes narrowed, turning a hard black. "Controllers! Come here!" she snapped, her voice harsh.
Four people appeared before her. They were all commanding in their presence, each in their own way. Two men and two women, their power seemed to glow around them with a faint aura. They stood respectfully, their hands at their chest in a gesture of humility.
A tall thin woman with white hair, bowed at the waist. She glowed with a white aura, her hair seemed to float around her, moved by an unseen wind. Her light blue eyes were almost clear they were so transparent. She was wearing a white jacket with light grey pants, and a silver belt around her waist. Behind her an extremely beautiful woman glared slightly at her, and then stepped up next to her, also bowing. A crackling aura of energy, lightly caressed her curvaceous figure, enveloping her. She had waist length fire red hair, with blue and purple streaks in it, resembling a flame. The ends actually seemed to flicker in and out, like a candle. She had dark red eyes which sparked brightly. She was wearing a red jacket with black pants, with a elaborate black cord around one of her shoulders.
Next to them, two men stood, shoulder to shoulder. The first one stepped forward and bowed in turn. He was very good-looking with ankle length dark blue hair, which was streaked with white, and deep blue eyes. His whole uniform was blue, and it had no decorations. Beside him, a devastatingly handsome man stepped forward and bowed deeply. He had thick shoulder length brown hair, streaked lightly with green and white, and light brown eyes. He was wearing a dark green jacket with dark brown pants. On his shoulders was a silky brown cape, which billowed around him. As he bowed, the flame headed woman glanced wistfully over him, and the woman on the throne beamed.
"Hai, Planet-sama!" they said as one.
She sighed and twirled a piece of hair, her eyes shifting to a light green, "I sense a collection of powers on this planet. What is the name of it again?" she asked, smiling.
"Earth, planet-sama." the brown haired one replied.
"Ah, yes, earth. I've heard of this place before. A lot of other people are very interested in this little planet." she said thoughtfully, "I seem to remember hearing that Galaxia was going to take it over, I heard that she almost succeeded, but was stopped somehow. I wonder how this pathetic planet with it's little powers was able to defeat her?" She mused, "I wonder where she went, I rather liked Galaxia." she murmured.
She snapped her fingers and a hologram of the planet appeared before her. "Here in Tokyo is where the majority of the powers are." she said showing it to her Generals. "Controllerwind, I want you to take care of it." she said.
"Hai." the white haired woman bowed and disappeared in a burst of mist.
"Oh, wait." Planet said languidly, lifting her finger "Here's another one on this part, what's it called?"
"America." the brown haired man answered.
"Yes, America, there is another small power in this place. We shouldn't worry about it though." she said. She considered the hologram before her and looked out at the earth. 'if Galaxia couldn't get it, it might be difficult.' she thought to herself. She suddenly started to laugh insanely, "This planet will be mine!" she hissed. She raked a hand with long black nail through the hologram.
Controllerwind appeared over Tokyo in a swirl of mist. "Controllercat!" she yelled.
"Hai wind-sama?" a woman with long silky black hair and a black cat tail appeared bowing before her.
"There are some sort of powers on this planet." Wind said arrogantly, "I want you to take care of it! And collect some energy while you are at it." she sniffed,
"Hai." Cat bowed again.

Usagi grinned at Luna, "I'm so excited!" she said as she packed her bags.
"I can tell!" Luna smiled.
"So when are we leaving again?" Usagi asked humming to herself.
"Tomorrow." Luna replied.
"So do you think this person is a friend?" Usagi asked seriously as she packed her bunny pajamas.
"I don't know, but considering they seem to fight crime, I would assume so." Luna said thoughtfully.
'I'm so excited!' Usagi thought to herself...
Controllercat appeared above the city of Tokyo, she smiled wickedly as she surveyed the city. She bowed her head, and clapped her hands together as if praying. Dark rings of black light radiated from her, 'Cats! Listen to me!" she thought. The rings of evil telepathic energy wrapped around her, and spread across the city. 'Cats! Listen to me! Turn against the humans! Suck their energy dry!" she commanded mentally. The beams crackled and sparked, all across the city, cats of every kind sat up and their eyes blanked. They walked up to anybody near them, and wrapped their tails around their victims legs. City wide, people shrieked, then paled and slumped to the ground. Controllercat cackled as she held out her open hand, and energy rapidly began to gather….
Luna sat in Usagi's room, going over her checklist of things to do, when she suddenly felt strange. Her eyes glassed over for a moment and then cleared. She stood up and shakily walked over to Usagi, "Luna, daijoubu ka?" Usagi asked setting down a manga......
In the Aino residence, Artemis sat up as his eyes went blank and he walked to Minako, who was standing by her bed, folding her clothes. "Artemis?" she smiled, turning to look at him. His eyes seemed to clear for a moment at the sound of her voice, but they blanked again. He wrapped his tail around Minako's ankle, she screamed as she paled, and then slumped to the ground......
Luna's eyes went blank again as she stood next to Usagi, Usagi smiled and stood up expectantly. Luna lithely curled her tail around Usagi's ankle, her eyes dull. Usagi gasped and fell to her knees, "Luna!" she choked. As her energy drained out of her, her crescent moon insignia on her forehead started to glow softly. A beam of silver light shot out and struck Luna's crescent moon.
Luna's eyes flickered and they cleared. She shook her head and looked around confused, she gasped when she saw Usagi, pale and drained on her knees her crescent moon glowing. "What..what did I do?" Luna gasped. Usagi groaned and slumped to the ground. A soft silver glow surrounded her and her brooch opened, and the silver crystal hovered above it, sparkling. It floated in mid air and shone softly. Luna started to weep, "There was a voice in my head telling me to do it! Gomen nasai.." Luna whispered. "gomen nasai." She murmured over and over. Usagi whispered weakly, "Onegai silver crystal, help her." The crystal started to pulsate, glowing brighter and brighter, a yellow aura surrounded Luna and she lifted off the ground.......
Minako fainted on the ground, unconscious, when the sign of venus started to glow on her forehead, a orange glow surrounded her and Artemis's eyes cleared. He dropped his tail and cried out when he saw Minako, fainted on the ground. "nani..." he whispered, "Minako, gomen nasai..." he whispered. A glow surrounded him and he lifted upwards and his crescent moon glowed......
Usagi woke up with a start when a warm hand caressed her cheek, "Mom?" she whispered. She slowly sat up and everything was a blur. "Shhhh." a lovely voice shoothed, Usagi made out a blurry figure with long black hair. "Who?" she began. She rubbed her eyes and blinked rapidly, energy came back to her and everything was clear again.
Sitting on the edge of her bed was a beautiful woman with very long, thick and silky blue-black hair. The top section of her hair was done up in four odangoes and the rest waved gently around her like a cape. Her clear blue eyes sparkled, and she smoothed her yellow dress. Usagi gasped as she saw the crescent moon shining on her forehead, "Luna?"
