DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sailor Moon.

Chapter 1

The battle with Galaxia is over and Darien has returned to America to finish his degree.

"Hello, is this seat taken?" Darien asks a young lady in his new philosophy class.

"No, take a seat." She returns with a smile. She looks like a nice girl, Darien thought. Her long black hair and ice blue eyes were intriguing to Darien. He blushed at the thought of being slightly attracted to her.

"Hi, I'm Darien. What's your name?"

"Xiomara, but most people just call me Xena."

"Well Xena, it's nice to meet you." Darien smiled as the professor started the class.

Darien walked away from philosophy class happy to know he made a new friend. Xena gave off an attention-grabbing vibe and he wanted to get to know her better. Darien went back to his apartment to get started on his homework. He just sat down to biochemistry and a cup of tea when his police scanner reported a strange disturbance in the city.

"Yes, Bob. I am telling you it's a monster. Like nothing I've ever seen!" He heard one of the officers reporting.

This sounds like a job for Tuxedo Mask; Darien thought. Pulling a rose out of his shirt he transformed and followed the roof tops to the scene. It was a youma alright. I thought we were through with these things, he thought. Looking down, Tuxedo Mask saw another figure. Was it battling the youma?

Tuxedo Mask jumped to the scene to get a closer look. What is going on here? Tuxedo Mask couldn't believe his eyes. The figure he was staring at looked like a sailor scout! She had long black hair and her white bodice had a silver bow and her skirt was black as night. The mysterious sailor soldier took a hit from the youma. Tuxedo Mask decided to lend a hand and threw a rose straight between the youma's eyes. As the unexpected attack turns the youma to dust, Tuxedo Mask rushes over to the mysterious sailor scout.

"Are you alright? Here, let me help you up. Who exactly are you?"

"The better question is who are you?" The mystery girl said getting up. "This is my town buddy and I'll do whatever it takes to defend it. Now I don't know who you are, but Sailor Eris fights alone!" And with one leap she escaped into the darkness.

That was strange, Tuxedo Mask thought. There are more sailor scouts? Sailor Eris... Darien knew he needed to do some heavy research on this new scout. I wonder if Luna and Artemis know anything... he thought. Detransforming he headed back to his apartment. His biochemistry homework was not asexual, it could not do itself. He made a promise to himself to contact Luna in the morning.
