ZODIAC Soldiers
A New Horrifying Truth: Episode 1

"Please…Please help us…" A young woman with familiar red hair appeared with her hands folded in prayer. "Please…Sailor Moon…" Three shadow behind her cried out as a roaring darkness began to encroach on the Olive Princess. "Hurry Princess…we can't fight them back much longer..." The other two shadows had plucked up Kakyuu disappearing in a glimmer. A deep ominous blast swirled around the speaking figure as a final attack was released. "STAR SERIOUS LAZER!" A weak beam of light plunged into the dark abyss only to be returned at full force knocking the fighting spirit down only to devour them with one last scream before death.

"STAR FIGHTER!" Usagi awoke from her deep sleep gasping for air. Soaked with sweat she moved the twisted sheets away from her body glancing over to her sleeping husband. Thankfully, he was unphased by her night terror. With a sigh, Usagi climbed out of bed and headed to the balcony. The cool night air kissed her skin causing a cold chill to run down her spine.

"Why? Why that dream…" she closed her eyes and tried not to see the vision that plagued her sleep. A warm tear rolled down her cheek. "Kakyuu-hime…Healer…Maker," Her tears could not be restrained any longer at the thought of him. "Fighter…Please...please be safe," A hand slid around her waist followed by a warm embrace. It was Mamoru.

"You still think about him don't you?" He buried his face into the top of her head kissing her tenderly.

"No… not as you think. I…I had that dream again," She leaned into his strong arms for a brief moment before turning around to face him. "It's never the same…But this time…this time I think…" Salty tears began to wield up in her eyes once more.

With a heavy heart, he kissed away her tears then kissed her forehead. "Please don't cry, it pains me to see you cry," He tightened his embrace. "I know…we can try to contact them. I know they are galaxies away. But we can try…"

Usagi nodded resting her head on his shoulder. "I am sorry Mamo-chan."

Mamoru couldn't help but to contain his hearty laugh. "You haven't called me that in years. Come on... let's try to get some sleep tonight and call the rest of the girls over tomorrow," He patted her back with sympathy and guided her to her side of the bed. "Want me to tuck you in?" Finally, with a giggle she smiled and nodded.

"Mama! Mamaaaa Wake up!" Chibiusa frowned at her mother. "If she doesn't get up right now…" With a touch of annoyance, she kneeled on the bed until she found her footing. "Mama…if you don't wake up…I am gonna jump!"

Usagi's eyelids fluttered. "What time is it?"

"Almost noon," Chibiusa answered as she lower herself down to the bed to sit. "Dad said you had another dream last night about Seiya and the others. Do you think something bad has happened?"

Sitting up Usagi found her head with her left head. "I don't know. I… I don't know…"

"Well the others are here. They are down stairs would you like me to tell them you'll be a few minutes?"

"Yes…please…Oh and Chibusa?"

"Yes Mama?"

"When did you get to be so grown up?"

She smiled at the compliment then began to blush. "Well since I want to grow into the Lady that Helios wants to marry," She stuck her tongue out and run out the door before Usagi could reply.

"Hello! Hello! Anyone hear me?!" The crystal telecommunicator only replied with static. "I dunno guys, its quite probable that they are too far to reach. I can try again if you give me a few minutes to adjust the calculations," Ami started to push the buttons on the key pad.

"I don't like this. Why are they only passing messages to Odango? They could reach any of us just as well," Haruka crossed her arms with pursed lips.

"Oh don't tell me you are still miffed from Seiya's advances toward me." Michiru giggled poking Haruka's side.

"I am not miffed! Just really Usagi has been through so much these past few years."

"I appreciate your concern Haruka. I do. And thank you everyone for coming," Usagi entered the room with a false sense of happiness and lack of concern. "Ami any luck?"

"No, I am afraid not. I don't know what to do."

"Sailor Teleport! It always worked when we needed it to!" Mina chimed in her two cents.

"That only works when we need to travel to the past or go short distances."

"Oh you're right Rei, but we could always try?"

A bright light flashed outside casting a glow of bright pink and yellow. The scouts shielded their eyes from the intensity, only catching a glimpse here and there. A loud crash followed the bright light and echoed in from the courtyard.

"Stay HERE! We'll go check it out!" Makoto then ran out to the balcony ledge where she and Haruka leapt off, heading down to where the sound occurred.

A young girl lay sprawled out as if she had fallen from a great distance. "It's a girl!" Haruka and Makoto approached with caution. Makoto leaned down to the young girl as Haruka drew her sword. "Careful Jupiter!"

A gasp and a deep inhale escaped the girl's lips and her eyes opened. Makoto sat behind her holding her up. "Are you alright? Who are you??"

"I …I…Must speak with the Queen. Please...Please Take me to Queen Serenity?" Makoto shot a glance to Haruka as if asking for approval.

"I don't like it. But she seems harmless for now. Be on your guard!" sheathing her sword Haruka stooped down and lifted the girl into her arms while Makoto got to her feet. "You carry her?"

"Yeah I got her."

Inside the palace the young girl's strength slowly begin to return. She realized that Makoto was carrying her and began to blush. "You, you can put me down," Makoto looked down to her. She was rather strange. Her hair was a bright blue like that you would find in topical water and her eyes were as pink as Lady Chibusa's hair. Her uniform resembled that of a Starlight's but had a skirt like the rest of the senshi.

"Its okay…I'll put you down when we reach the Communication Room," Makoto nodded in front of them where a large door way stood.

Usagi looked toward the door as Haruka's and Makoto's boots clacked on the tile.
"Oh my!" She exclaimed when she has seen the girl in Makoto's arms. "Put her in the chair Makoto!"

Recognizing Usagi immediately the girl practically jumped from the arms of Makoto. "Your Highness!' She stumbled to Usagi's feet and knelt. "Your highness…" tears welded up in the girls eyes.

"There, there, don't cry now…What's your name?" Usagi knelt down to eye level with the pink-eyed girl.

"I…I am Luminosity. I come from Kakyuu's kingdom …we… we are in great danger. The Princess has once again been sealed away. But…the Starlights…they're….they're…."The girl began to sob uncontrollably. "My brothers are DEAD!"
