Disclaimers: I do not own the animes. But I do own the pairing, I hope.
Prologue: A Goodbye and an Encounter! The Destiny of Flowing Stars
Time passes...
"Can we really find her?" Taiki wondered as the three Starlights walked towards the end of a dark hallway.
"Don't worry." Yaten assured. "That's why we are here."
"We'll definitely find her." Taiki confirmed.
"That's right." Seiya agreed. "Even if we sacrifice everything. Now, let's go. It's time." as they continued onward, the door opened, flooding the hallway with light and the sounds of a cheering crowd.
On stage...
Fans gathered outside a Three Lights concert, and on stage, Kou Taiki, Kou Yaten, and Kou Seiya appear amidst the screams of their adoring fans. They struck their poses and the concert began.
In Crown the next day...
"Three Lights?" Usagi echoed.
"Don't you know?" Minako, Makoto and Rei glared.
"What's that?" Luna echoed.
"A super popular idol group." Rei replied.
"Of course I like Seiya." Minako gushed. "He looks wild and dangerous."
"Well, isn't he a bit childish?" Rei pointed out.
"That's what we like, don't we?" Makoto flushed as she and Minako nodded in agreement.
"I like Yaten better." Rei stated. "With that unmatched beauty."
"He seems unpredictable." Minako blushed.
"That's what we like, don't we?" Makoto repeated, flushing.
"You're totally kicking your heels." Luna deathpanned.
"Oh no, you guys." Ami chided.
"Ami!" Luna looked up.
"Don't forget nice and intellectual Taiki." Ami flushed. "With his graceful mature style."
"He looks cool." Makoto gushed.
"That's what we like, don't we?" Rei repeated Makoto's statement.
"Ami, are you a secret fan?" Minako blinked.
"I don't know much about them." Ami stammered.
"Et tut, Ami." Makoto tsked.
"How about you, Usagi?" Minako turned to the silent one of the group. "Who do you like?
"Mamo-chan..." Usagi muttered.
"What's up?" Makoto wondered. "You look depressed.
"Well..." Usagi started.
"Mamoru is staying aboard?" Ami echoed.
"Usagi, you never told me" Luna chided.
"He said his thesis was acknowledged and he's invited to an American university." Usagi replied.
"That's great." Artemis smiled.
"Think about Usagi's feelings." Minako scolded.
"Sorry..." Artemis stammered.
"How long?" Rei asked.
Usagi nodded and flashbacked.
Flashback
"For a year, maybe a little longer." Mamoru stated, having told Usagi on a bridge. "I won't be back. Is it okay?"
"I'm alright." Usagi assured. "Why not go to America? It doesn't mean we won't see each other forever. And, I'm always be in love with you. Good luck in your studies."
"Usagi, are you okay?" Makoto asked, noticing her downcast expression.
"It's okay." Usagi replied. "A dream of his is coming true and I have to see him off with a smile."
"Usagi..." Rei muttered.
"I'm okay." Usagi laughed. "I tell you."
"With something so sudden, it must be very hard for her." Makoto noted as they saw Usagi back to her house.
"The chibi Senshi left for the future." Ami added.
"She must be lonely." Minako concluded.
In the Tsukino household...
"Chibi-Usa, what should I do?" Usagi wondered on Chibi-Usa's bed, holding a family photo of her, Mamoru and Chibi-Usa.
"Usagi." Luna voiced.
"Luna." Usagi blinked.
"Cheer up." Luna encouraged.
"But I can't..." Usagi wept.
"Usagi." Luna mumbled.
"Although spring is here, Chibi-Usa is in the 30th century and Mamo-chan..." Usagi muttered. "Mamo-chan is studying aboard. Honestly, I want to say 'No!' 'Please stay with me.' I'm not that strong."
"Hey, do you remember when we first met?" Luna reminded. "You were rash, a crybaby, but compared to then, you've become more mature."
"Luna..." Usagi blinked.
"Let's see him off with a smile." Luna suggested.
At the airport the next day...
"All passengers of New Japan Airlines to New York are to proceed to the departure gate." the announcer came over the intercom.
"It's time." Thomas told Mamoru, the Dragons were at the departure hall to see Mamoru off.
"Mamo-chan." Usagi voiced.
"Usako." Mamoru blinked.
"Guess we'll leave you two alone." Yuichiro stated and the Dragons made themselves scarce.
"I thought you weren't coming because of school." Mamoru noted as Usagi approached him.
"I'll be waiting." Usagi informed him. "I'll be waiting for you."
"For the time being, I'll be busy, so I can't call you that often." Mamoru reminded.
"That's alright." Usagi assured. "I'll write to you everyday, so... Oh no, I planned to see you off with a smile today." she added, as her tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Usako." Mamoru stated as Usagi wiped her tears away. "Open it." he presented her with a ring box.
"Mamo-chan...!" Usagi looked at the ring. "This is...!"
"Here." Mamoru put the ring on her left ring finger. "I love you, Usako."
"Thank you." Usagi threw herself into his arms. "I'll treasure it." and the couple shared a kiss.
"Now, I have to go." Mamoru stated, when they came up for air.
"I've been totally outclassed." Thomas muttered as the Dragons looked at the tender moment from the side.
"The girls are going to have a field day once they hear about this." Kouki remarked.
"Kouki, you do realize that they'll expect the same from us, right?" Yuichiro deathpanned.
"Oh double crap." Hitoshi cursed.
"What's that?" Usagi blinked when a a commotion started over by the escalators as the Three Lights arrived.
"Maybe some celebrities or something." Mamoru guessed. "Now, let's go.
Usagi nodded and the couple walked past the crowd, totally oblivious.
"Guess we'd better get going too." Thomas voiced and the Dragons exited from their hiding places.
"Could you let us pass?" Seiya requested, the Three Lights were surrounded by their screaming fans. "Go away!" he pushed himself through. Walking past the Dragons, he paused and turned, sensing the power coming from the four male Senshi.
Take care, Mamo-chan. Usagi prayed as she saw Mamoru's plane fly off on the roof.
In space...
"I feel it." Galaxia stated. "The energy of ever-shining stars. True Star Seeds. On that blue planet, there are still lots of sleeping Star Seeds. Find them. Go and get the Star Seeds, in order to dominate all the galaxies."
On his plane...
"Usako..." Mamoru looked at the photograph, just as a bright golden light hit the plane, causing it to explode.
In their recording studio...
"Another star's shine has disappeared." Yaten stated, pausing in mid-practice.
"It is?" Seiya echoed.
"In such situations, I wish she was here." Taiki noted at Yaten's nod.
"She might be near us." Seiya corrected.
"We have to hurry." Yaten urged.
"We don't have much time." Seiya agreed.
Commercial Break.
VO Announcer: It was a city like any other, where people lived in peace and harmony, until they came...
Camera zooms in to a mall where people can be seen running out screaming, as tendrils of black energy shoot out and drains the few that can't run fast enough.
VO Announcer: ... They were known as Youma, and nobody knew where they came from, or how to stop them...
A creature that looks like a fusion between a bull and a linebacker gone wrong walks out of the mall, laughing evilly. He stops, however, when he sees four shadowy figures standing on top of a nearby building.
VOA: Nobody except for one small group of heroes...
Youma: Who are you?
The figures step into the light. The one that speaks first is a fat kid wearing a red winter cap and a white leotard with a blue skirt. He strikes a pose and glares at the monster.
Sailor Cartman: S**t your f***ing face, uncle f***er. We're the Sailor f***ing Senshi and we're gonna kick your a**!
Sailor Kyle: Lame speech as usual, Cartman.
Sailor Cartman: S*** my b****, Sailor Kyle.
Sailor Stan: Stop being a b****, Cartman.
Youma: Are you gonna fight or what?
Sailor Stan: Okay bully, you asked for it.
Sailor Cartman: Lame-a** pun there, Stan.
Youma: ENOUGH! (Shots a black energy beam that blasts Sailor Kenny's head off.)
Sailor Stan: Oh my God, he killed Sailor Kenny!
Sailor Kyle: The bastard...
Suddenly, a rose flies by and gets embedded in the wall near the monster. Everyone looks to another rooftop and see a kid in a tuxedo sitting on a wheelchair with a stupid grin on his face.
Tuxedo Timmy: Timmeeeeyy!
Sailor Cartman: F*** off, Tuxedo Timmy, you're late as usual.
Youma: ARE YOU GONNA FIGHT OR WHAT, MOTHERF***ING KIDS?
Sailor Cartman: That's it. Cartman Cap Action!
The cap flies off Cartman's head and beheads the youma. The group cheers as the creature sprays blood all over the place.
VOA: Sailor Park. Be afraid, be very afraid...
End Commercial Break.
In Crown the next day...
"You got a ring from Mamoru." Rei stated. "After all, you're a happy girl."
"In addition, she got it on her 'ring finger'." Makoto added.
"Does that mean, perhaps..." Ami flustered. "Something?"
"Perhaps something." Luna agreed.
"What?" Usagi was confused. "What is?"
"It's something for sure." Rei remarked.
"Please!" Usagi was puzzled. "What is?"
"You're kidding!" Rei fumed. "You actually know what, don't you? You're a girl!"
"I'm prettier than you, Rei." Usagi taunted.
"Even Luna, a cat, can figure it out." Rei snapped.
"I'm also a girl." Luna reminded.
"So what is it?" Usagi snapped.
"If you mention something, it's something!" Rei retorted.
"Oh my god, everyone!" Minako came running in. "In the park, right now, they're doing something! Something!"
"Right." Rei agreed. "It's something."
"Something!" the two chorused.
"So, what is it?" Usagi sweatdropped.
In the park...
"I guess we're a bit late." Minako remarked, having brought the girls to the shoot.
"What's this crowd?" Usagi wondered.
"They're making a drama for Three Lights on location here." Minako replied.
"Is that, perhaps..." Makoto guessed. "'Z-files of a Detective Boy Holmes'?"
"Really?" Rei echoed. "I love it!"
"What's that?" Usagi wondered.
"A super popular program which has an average rating of more than 35%." Ami supplied. "I don't know much about it, though..." she flushed at the girls' accusing looks.
"I can't see them!" Minako whined, jumping up and down to get a clearer view.
"What?" Usagi was forced as a tug-along. "What?"
"That girl in front of the fountain is co-actress Alice Itsuki!" Minako exclaimed.
"How cute!" Makoto jumped up for a better look.
"She has such a small face." Rei added, before landing on the ground.
"Taiki and Yaten!" Minako gushed, seeing the two idols on the side. "It's them."
"Cool!" Usagi agreed, peering.
"Of course!" the girls chorused. "How nice!" they gushed, jumping.
"We can't do anything here." Minako twitched. "You guys, ready?"
"Yes." the girls agreed and pushed their way through. "Excuse me, excuse me. Hi, excuse me. Excuse me!"
"Guys, wait up!" Ami exclaimed when she was left behind.
"Attracting such a huge crowd." Chuuko Nezu noted from a tree branch. "She has the charm of a star."
"There's no space between the crowd at all." Ami remarked, walking off to find another way through. "They're really popular. 'No Admittance'?" she saw the signboard. "I wonder if it's for the staff."
"From that point, there's no admittance." Seiya voiced on a bench.
"I'm terribly sorry." Ami apologized hurriedly.
"You're..." Seiya started, sitting up. "I guess you don't remember." he conceded.
"Did I meet you somewhere?" Ami wondered.
"You don't recognize me?" Seiya exclaimed in shock. "I guess I'm not as popular as I thought." he sighed when Ami shook her head.
"If this is a new way of approaching girls, then you're failing, miserably." Ami stated.
"Funny girl." Seiya chuckled and leapt from the bench.
"What?" Ami pouted. "You're rude. From that point, there's no admittance except on business."
"I'm here on business." Seiya stated. "See you, Water-drops."
On the set...
"There, okay." the director finished the scene. "Let's have a break."
"I'll go and check on my makeup." Alice went off.
"Seeing it live is really great." Minako mused.
Backstage...
Ami had snuck backstage, trying to find the girls.
"Now, let's do my best." Alice stretched.
"What a wonderful smile." Chuuko Nezu stated.
"Who are you?" Alice inquired.
"Your shine makes others cheerful." Chuuko Nezu added. "Proof of a star."
"Thank you." Alice smiled.
"I came on a special errand." Chuuko Nezu replied.
"If you want a signature, sorry I'm on business." Alice apologized.
"I don't want your signature, but a seed of a star." Chuuko Nezu corrected. "Your Star Seed." and revealed her true form as Iron Mouse.
"What?" Ami stopped in her tracks upon hearing Alice's scream.
"Don't be afraid." Iron Mouse closed in on her target.
"What's that?" Ami hid behind a truck.
"Your Star Seed." Iron Mouse started. "Give it to me." and released two energy blasts from her bracelets and extracted Alice's 'Star Seed'.
"Mercury Eternal Power, Make Up!" Ami wasted no time in transforming.
"Wow, a beautiful Star Seed." Iron Mouse gushed. "It's gone already..." she blinked when the Star Seed turned black. "I don't want such a weak Star Seed."
"Stop right there!" Mercury declared. "Whoever you are, I won't forgive you for attacking idol Itsuki Alice. Agent of justice and life, pretty Senshi, Mercury! In the name of Mermaria, I'll punish you!"
"Oh goodness." Iron Mouse blinked. "You're a Senshi too? Well, with such a face, you can't be a star like me."
"Who are you?" Mercury demanded.
"I am Sailor Iron Mouse." Iron Mouse replied.
"Sailor..." Mercury echoed. "Iron Mouse?"
"I've finished today's business." Iron Mouse stated. "Do you want to play with the Phage?"
"Phage?" Mercury echoed as Alice turned into Sailor Buri.
"Buri!" the Phage declared.
"Alice?" Mercury blinked.
"Anybody who has their Star Seeds go black becomes a Phage." Iron Mouse supplied. "Have fun!" she retreated via her phone box. "Bye!"
"Wait!" Mercury called out.
"Hi there." Buri stated. "Do you want to sing with me? Nice to meet you!" she declared as her microphone spouted spikes which she threw at Mercury who jumped back to avoid the attack.
What should I do? Mercury wondered, not wanting to harm Alice when a series of finger-snaps caught her attention. "Who is that?"
"Penetrating the darkness of night." Star Fighter started.
"The wind of freedom breaks through." Star Healer added.
"We're the three sacred shooting stars." Star Maker continued.
"Who's there?" Buri looked up at the Starlights.
"Star Fighter!" Star Fighter introduced.
"Star Maker!" Star Maker added.
"Star Healer!" Star Healer declared.
"Starlights are here!" the Starlights chorused.
"More Senshi?" Mercury echoed.
"You want to sing with me too?" Buri winked.
"Star Serious Laser!" Star Fighter countered Buri's attack with her own, cutting through the microphone and frying Buri in the afterwake.
"Alice!" Mercury exclaimed as the Starlights leapt down to finish the Phage.
"I'll make you feel comfortable now." Star Fighter declared.
"Pretty!" Buri stood up.
"No!" Mercury jumped in between Star Fighter and Buri. "Don't kill Alice."
"It's too late." Star Healer remarked.
"Once humans become a Phage, we can't save them." Star Maker informed.
"Right, except for..." Star Fighter agreed. "So, go away!"
"No!" Mercury stood firm.
"Go away!" Star Fighter insisted.
"NO!" Mercury screamed as Athena appeared, holding the Caduceus.
"This light..." Star Fighter gaped at the appearance of the Goddess of Wisdom.
"You can't let her die without trying." Athena told her former container. "So, use this to save her." and let the Caduceus float into Mercury's hands. "Now, call out 'Holy Mercury Power, Make Up' and use 'Mercury Freezing Restoration'."
"Holy Mercury Power, Make Up!" Mercury went up another level and posed with her Caduceus in both hands. Power and cold swirling around the new weapon, the Holy-level Senshi pointed at the weakened Phage and called out her new attack, "Mercury Freezing Restoration!"
The Starlights gazed in shock as a wave of frost washed over Buri.
"Beautiful!" Buri squealed before she was instantly covering her head to toe in pure ice. She stood there frozen, utterly still, then the ice shattered, revealing a fully healed Alice in its wake and her 'Star Seed' returning to her body.
Starlights. Mercury mused, turning to see that the three Starlights had vanished. Who are they?
On a tree...
"What amazing power."Star Healer was stunned at the sheer display of power.
"It's getting interesting." Star Fighter mused and the Starlights jumped off.
After the battle...
"Have a nice day." the director dismissed the crew.
"Seeing it live is really great." Minako beamed.
"All three of them are cool, aren't they?" Makoto added.
"I don't have any complaints." Usagi gushed.
"Ami..." Rei stated, the girls stopping when they saw Ami on a bench.
"The enemy is a Senshi." Ami listed with her fingers. "And the ones who helped me were also Senshi."
"Ami, where have you been?" Rei chided. "The filming is over."
"Well..." Ami started.
"What's up?" Makoto wondered.
"You know..." Ami added, the girls bending closer.
"So, what is it?" the girls prodded.
"Not here." Ami whispered. "Senshi meeting, tomorrow, Rei's shrine."
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review. In the next chapter, the Three Lights transfer into the same high school as Usagi and her friends, and Sailor Iron Mouse also shows up at the school in search of her next target.
