Because several people asked for one (and I really wanted to do it), here is the sequel to The Crow; which means if you're reading this without having read that one first, go read The Crow first or nothing will make sense in what goes on in this fic...or even if you did read the fic this sequel might not make much sense at first...I dunno...moving on!

I'd like to give a bit thanks to everyone who read and/or reviewed (mostly both) The Crow. It was those people who inspired me to do this fic. Hmm...I wonder if amnesia nymph will review first again or not...have to wait and see I guess.

Moving right along! I got the idea for the title of this song from listening to Ai no Senshi which translates to Soldier of Love. So yeah...If anyone has a better title idea feel free to submit it. I stink at title making.

Hey! Guess what! I still don't own the rights to Sailor Moon or any of the related stuff. I do, however, own a kick arse research paper on Sailor Moon that my Japanese Pop Culture professor wanted to keep (it gots an A)

This fic is rated M because...well...violence and adult themes...


A pair of cold golden eyes opened as a man knelt down. "Report," the owner of the gold eyes snapped in a cruel feminine voice. The woman wore a flowing gold dress that matched her eyes and golden hair. In spite of her beauty, many of her subordinates found her to be quite cruel, though they kept this opinion to themselves.

The dark haired man lifted his head. "We found her."

The woman's eyes lit up in delight. "Where is she?"

"At a race in London. I've already dispatched several of the best warriors to bring her in," the man said.

"Excellent. What of those annoying Sailor Senshi?"

"They have shown no sign that they are aware of us or the target."

"Do not underestimate them Ja'aku. Your former master did and his sister managed to kill him."

Ja'aku bowed his head. "I will not fail my Queen."

"See that you do not. Now, bring me the girl." Ja'aku bowed and rose to his feet. He bowed again and left the room. The evil queen smiled as she sipped some wine. "Soon my love…soon you will be mine," she whispered.

The dark blue sports bike shot around the track, the rider expertly controlling the powerful machine. Grinning beneath the helmet, the rider opened the throttle even more and rushed over the finish line, the flag falling. The rider slowed the bike for the victory lap and pulled to a halt in the winner's circle. Gloved hands reached up and pulled the helmet off, revealing short platinum white hair. Teal eyes were glinting with adrenaline and joy as reporters swarmed around the rider.

"Alex! What does it feel like to win your fifth big race in a row?" a reporter demanded as microphones and tape recorders were shoved in her face.

"It feels good but I don't race to win. I race because I want to," Alex replied. The teen answered a few more questions before escaping to the safety of the locker rooms. Along the way Alex encountered dozens of fan girls. The white haired teen hurried through them and closed the door to the locker room. Alex sighed in relief and stripped off the dark blue riding suit. The rest of the clothes went next and Alexandra grabbed a towel before heading to the showers.

Alex, as she was commonly called, smiled as the warm water hit her back and began easing the tension out of her muscles. As much as she was enjoying the hot water she finished showering quickly and dried off, letting her short hair dry on its own. She walked back into the locker and pulled on a pair of faded jeans and a white short sleeve shirt. She pulled on a pair of black boots. She grabbed a black leather jacket and pulled it on. She picked up her sports bag and started to leave when something made her stop and look around.

"Hello? Is anyone in here?" she asked. A man with slicked back black hair stepped into view, his dark eyes cold. Something was nagging at the back of Alex's mind, telling her that this man was dangerous and that she should know him.

"Are you Alexandra Haruka Ten'ou?" he asked in a suave voice.

"Who's asking?"

He smiled and she began backing away. "Come with me," he ordered.

"Yeah right," she returned. She felt her back hit the row of lockers and she looked around for an escape.

"This will go easier for you if you come with me willingly," he said.

"I'm not going anywhere with you pal," she snapped.

He sighed. "So be it," he said. He snapped his fingers and a monster rose up out of the floor.

Alex's eyes widened. "Holy…" she muttered.

"Bring her to the palace," the man ordered and vanished. The humanoid monster growled and reached out for Alex.

She dove forward and ran to the door. She flung it open and dashed through the halls, the youma close behind. A tentacle from the monster lashed out, causing Alex to trip. She hit the ground hard and rolled over, scrambling backwards as the creature lumbered towards her. She angrily clenched her fist, her eyes blazing. As the creature lunged towards her, there was a blinding flash of light. Alex covered her eyes as the light forced the youma away.

The teen lowered her arms and stared in amazement at the object before her. It was a strange pen-like object, a dark blue crystal resting atop the pink handle, two wings resting around the crystal. Within the crystal was a strange golden symbol that Alex felt she should know.

As the logical part of her mind was screaming at her to run, another part was whispering to her. "It's okay Alex. Take the henshin pen. It's part of who you have been: past, present, future. Take your destiny in hand…"

Alex slowly reached out towards the pen, feeling as though she could trust the voice. Her fingers wrapped around the smooth handle of the pen. Her eyes widened in shock as she felt power flood her body. A bright, golden light engulfed her. It faded away after a moment and Alex looked down, her eyes nearly bugging out. Her street clothes had turned into a sailor fuku that the Senshi wore.

"Uranus…" a voice whispered in her head. As the word echoed in her mind, the teen knew that was her name in this form.

The youma growled and charged forward. Uranus dove out of the way and rolled to her feet, turning towards the monster. She looked down as gold energy made her right hand glow. A smile tugged at her lips and she lifted her hand into the air. "World Shaking!" she bellowed, slamming her fist down. A golden ball of energy flew towards the youma and slammed into it, killing it on contact.

Uranus grinned faintly. "This is cool…" she murmured. Her henshin undid itself and Alex looked at the pen. "I have no idea what's going on, but it couldn't hurt to keep this I guess…" she whispered. She slipped the pen into her inside pocket of the jacket and grabbed her bag, hefting it onto her shoulders. She walked out of the track and made her way to a dark blue Ferrari. She tossed her bag to the passenger seat and closed the door. She started the car and drove away, unaware of the cold eyes watching her.

"She WHAT?" the gold hair queen thundered.

"She awakened my Queen," Ja'aku said. "Forgive me, I did not think she would be able to," he began.

"You have failed me Ja'aku," she growled.

"Please, I beg of you, give me another chance!" he pleaded. He watched in horror as she rose to her feet and descended the steps towards him. Two figures held him in place as he rose to run. "Queen Kyra…please…one more chance is all I ask," he whimpered as she halted a foot from him. His body was trembling in fear.

"I am not as forgiving as Damien," she whispered in his ear. She slid her finger down his shirt, a black, charred line forming where her finger passed over. The two figures ripped the shirt away and Kyra smiled seductively at Ja'aku. She pressed her right palm against his bare chest over his heart. His face twisted in pain as her hand passed through his skin into his chest. He gasped as his heart began beating irregularly. She pulled her hand out and he fell to the ground, convulsing a few times before dying.

Kyra turned from the corpse as servants hurried forward and pulled the body away. She walked up the steps and sat back down on her throne. Two more figures joined the other two and they knelt down. "You four will observe her and guide her to me," Kyra said calmly as if nothing had happened. "We have little time due to Ja'aku's incompetence," she growled.

"Little time?" the figure with a cape asked.

"It won't be long before her memories begin to resurface. If she remembers too much before she comes to me, my plan will not work. Go, and do not fail me like you failed Beryl," Kyra commanded.

The Shitennou bowed. "Yes Highness," they said in unison. They rose to their feet and left the chamber.

"I suppose it is a good thing we already know the target," Jadeite said.

Nephrite grinned. "Posing as her 'friends' was actually a good idea Kunzite."

"We must work quickly now though," Zoisite added. The other three nodded and they vanished.

Michiru gently placed the red roses on the grave. She brushed away some leaves from the marker and rose to her feet, a faint smile on her face. "Happy Anniversary Ruka," she whispered. "Kaze and Mika are both doing so well in school. You would be proud of them. Mika's getting ready to start her racing career while Kaze is about to have his first big concert in a few weeks. I told you he plays piano and violin." Michiru smiled faintly. "It's been hard trying to hide the fact that we haven't been aging due to our Senshi powers."

Her vision suddenly became blurred and she wiped her eyes. "I miss you…so much Ruka. Where are you? You said you'd find me again demo…it's been nineteen years since you left. Her lower lip began to tremble. "Where are you?" she whispered, tears sliding down her face. "Where are you koi?"

Haruka walked down the street, a grocery bag in one hand while the other held the hand of her four-year-old daughter. "Ready to go home little one?" Haruka asked.

The little girl nodded enthusiastically. "Wanna race!" she exclaimed.

Haruka smiled at the small girl. She had blonde hair like Haruka but there were streaks of blue-green highlights interspersed evenly in her short hair. She looked very much like Haruka save for her eyes, which were identical to Michiru's.

Haruka frowned as the wind suddenly changed directions. "Come on Mika. Let's go home," Haruka said, warily looking around. They quickened their pace.

Several rough looking men trailed behind them, smirks on their faces. Haruka glanced back at them and easily swung Mika up into her arm. Once that was done she increased her pace. One glance behind confirmed to her that the men had surpassed her pace as well.

Growling in frustration she dropped the grocery bag and held Mika tightly. The tall blonde broke out into a dead run. As she rounded a corner, someone thrust out a two by four and tripped her.

As Haruka fell, she twisted her body to take the brunt force of the fall and protect Mika. Haruka winced as she fell roughly on her right shoulder. She bit back a cry of pain as she felt it dislocate. She ignored the pain and started to rise when multiple hands grabbed her and pulled Mika away. She was hauled roughly into the middle of a deserted warehouse.

The blonde was shoved violently to her knees and her head was yanked back. "So you're the one who'll give us some trouble if you're alive," one of the men who had been following her grinned.

"Who'd've thought that the great racer Ten'ou would be a woman," another agreed. The others laughed and joined in the jeering. They fell silent as a tall, dark haired man entered the room. He was nearly six feet tall and had dark red eyes. He was dressed completely in black and stood over the kneeling Haruka.

"Don't take this personally Ten'ou. I'm just following orders," he said.

Haruka glared at him. "Let the kid go and I'll let you live," she snarled.

The man chuckled. "I think not my dear." He pulled out a gun and took the safety off. "I let you live, and plans get messed up. I can't let that happen."

Haruka lunged at the man. "I said let her go!" she bellowed.

The man shook his head. "I was going to let her live as leverage, but if that's the way you're gonna be about it…" he trailed off, shaking his head. He aimed the gun at Mika who looked at Haruka fearfully.

"Poppa…" she whimpered.

Fear rose in Haruka's eyes. "Don't hurt her! Please! I'll do whatever you want! Just don't hurt my daughter! Don't hurt…!" she exclaimed when a gunshot cut her off. Tears streamed down her face as the men holding Mika let her body drop to the floor. "Mika…" Haruka whispered. "MIKA!!" she bellowed in grief.

"I wouldn't worry," the man said, pointing the gun at her. "You'll be joining the whelp soon."

Haruka glared at the man, hatred and fury in her green eyes. "I'll kill you for what you've done," she growled.

"You can't kill me if you're dead," he smirked. He pressed the gun against her head and pulled the trigger.

Alex shot up in bed, cold sweat clinging to her skin. She calmed her breathing as she rolled off the mattress. She walked to the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face. She dried off the water and looked at herself in the mirror. "What the hell was that?" she muttered. She frowned as an image of an aqua haired woman appeared in the mirror, her arms wrapping around the teen's shoulders.

"Ashiteru yo Ruka," the woman whispered.

Alex shook her head and the figure vanished. "Okay…no more Hawaiian pizza before bed," she muttered. She turned off the light and crawled back into bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Michiru finished packing her suitcase as Setsuna walked in. "Are you sure you want to do this concert?" the Time Senshi asked.

"I can't just cancel it Setsuna-san."

"I realize that, demo…this is the first time you'll have been to London since…"

"I know," Michiru said softly, looking at the pictures on her dresser. Most were of Mika and Kaze growing up, but there were a fair number of pictures of Haruka and Michiru together. "But…I feel as though I have to go." She shrugged and zipped the suitcase close. "Keep an eye on the twins?"

"I'd rather save the world," Setsuna muttered with a grin. Michiru nodded in agreement and picked up her luggage and violin case. She walked down the steps and headed out the door.
