Okay, this is only PG-13 because of some minor cussing here and there, at least, so far. N E ways, if you don't want to read it, then don't, BYE! Disclaimer: I do not own anything Sailor Moon-ish, but the new characters and ideas used in this fanfic are MINE! (so if you use it without my permission, I will track you down! Jk ^_~ ) Enjoy!

Chapter 1


The girl had left school with a bright smile on her face. She ran down the stairs clutching a piece of paper, her pair of blonde ponytails streaming behind her from twin odangoes (meatballs).

" Finally! What took you so long, Serena? What's that in your hand, a test? By the way, what did you get on that math test you were studying for last night at study group? " asked a tall, slender girl with shoulder-length blue-black hair. Serena grinned and shoved the paper she was holding into her friend's face.

" See? A 95! Isn't it wonderful? I've got you to thank for it too! " Serena squealed happily. Amy smiled at her friend's ecstatic state.

" Well, I hope that now you'll understand why you have to push yourself when you're studying. C'mon, Mina, Lita, and Raye are waiting at the Crown Fruit Parlor; I told them to go ahead when you didn't show up. " Amy said disapprovingly. " But we'd better hurry, or they'll go ahead to the Hikawa Temple without us! " the two scrambled down the street, headed towards the Crown Fruit Parlor, showered with the occasional spring bloom. At the entrance to the Fruit Parlor, they ran into their friends Lita, Mina and Raye.

" Ouch! That REALLY hurt! What gives? At first you guys are no-shows, and then all of a sudden you're right in front of us, and it's all I can do to keep from cracking my head open on yours! " Mina exclaimed as she gingerly felt a fresh bruise on her forehead. Lita was massaging her shoulder, injured from Serena ramming into it head-on.

" Well you didn't seem to want save MY head any cracking open! " Raye muttered darkly. She was nursing a spot on the side of her head where Mina's forehead had swerved when she spotted Amy, who had reeled backwards in surprise. " Why were you guys running so fast anyway? You knew you were late already, so what was the point? " Serena suddenly became VERY interested in her fingernails.

" Serena! " Lita, Mina, and Raye screeched, their eyes glinting dangerously.

" Y-y-yes? Is anything wrong? I mean, besides your injuries-not to imply that your injuries aren't important or anything-but if something IS wrong, tell me, okay? Heh heh… nothing's wrong… right? Get it? Right-wrong? Heh heh heh… " she babbled nervously.

" Out with it Serena! "

" Er-right. Well, y'see, I… I… I got my first 95% and even Miss Haruna was surprised, in fact, she was so surprised that she talked to me after school about it, which was why I was late, and I REALLY wanted to show you guys my score, so I hurried here! " She blurted out in a rush. The three were VERY impressed. (They even forgot to be mad at her.)

" Wow… Serena… "

" I-I don't know what to say-" Lita and Mina began.

"-The Galaxy Cauldron must've been really powerful to give YOU brains, Meatball Head! " Raye interrupted. Serena immediately lost her embarrassed, apologetic tone of voice.

" How many times do I have to tell you?! I am NOT called Meatball Head!!!! "
she whined loudly. " Why do you have to be so mean Raye? WAAAAHHHHH!!! " They all developed huge sweat-drops on the sides of their heads as Serena burst into tears.

" Come on now Serena, you know that Raye was just joking, she didn't want to hurt your feelings. " Amy said over Serena's loud wails. " She really was just trying to congratulate you on your 95%, in her own way! Speaking of which, why don't we get you some ice cream to celebrate, okay? " She added quickly as she spotted Darien headed their way.

" What's up Serena? Why are you crying-" Darien stopped as he spotted the 95 on Serena's test paper. " 95%! That's GREAT! But why are you crying? " Raye's face resembled a beet with black hair growing out of it.

" I… I-I sort of said something that upset her…. " Raye murmured. " But we were just about to get her some ice cream to celebrate her good grade! Why don't you join us? " she asked brightly.

The girls quickly "allowed" Darien to pay for Serena's ice cream, (Which was an extra-large, double banana split with all the toppings, chocolate chunks and curls, whipped cream, chopped nuts, topped with three cherries, all on 6 different flavors of ice cream) and sat at a table at the Fruit Parlor, consuming their own orders, (Amy ~ regular strawberry sundae with whipped cream and cherry; Raye ~ regular chocolate shake with Oreo crumbs and chocolate curls; Mina ~ medium hot fudge sundae with whipped cream, cherry, and nuts; Lita ~ medium tropical-berry sundae with macadamia nuts; Darien ~ kiddie-size vanilla cone).

The scene of Serena and her friends talking and eating ice cream appeared in a hologram before a tall, regal girl of striking beauty. Her bronze-pearl decorated dark brown (it looked black) hair and pale skin gave her a rather innocent look. However, there was no mistaking the pure evil in her cloudy eyes, which at one time had been blue. She held in her hand a staff tipped with a globe of Earth that had bronze crystal at its top. Alongside the hologram of Serena's group was one of a cubicle containing 3 people. A fathomless, black shadow accompanied her.

" So, the Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Mask are relaxing with no enemies to fight, are they? Well, that ought to change soon. Hm, they're at the Crown Fruit Parlor... that's not too far from the park, is it? Why don't we have Garnetite send a nice little youma to destroy them? " The shadow suggested to the girl. A shudder rippled through her body, then she nodded, and with a flick of her wrist she closed the holograms.

" Garnetite! " The girl snapped.

" Yes, your Majesty? What is it you wish from me? My life is yours to command-" announced a confident-looking young man with misty grey eyes and white-blonde hair, oddly highlighted in a red tone. Around his neck hung a Garnet Amulet on a bronze chain.

" Shut up you imbecile! " She interrupted. " You are to send a youma to attack the Sailor Scouts, steal the Silver Moon Crystal, and when-if- you return with it, your next mission will be to bring me the Golden Crystal of Sol. You had better not fail, for your own sake. " The girl warned.

" I would never fail you, Princess Tranquility-"

" Oh? You seem to have done so many times before when we were in Tokyo rounding up the last of those captives! "

" I am truly unworthy of your forgiveness, Princess, it won't happen again. I crave enlightenment upon this one subject, your Highness; why do you want both the Silver Moon Crystal AND the Golden Crystal of Sol? "

" Are you questioning my actions? " She asked in a threatening, dangerous whisper.

" No! Of course not, Princess Tranquility! Please-forgive my curiosity! "

" Curiosity, is it? Don't you know that curiosity is a dangerous thing, Garnetite? I'm not sure you can, at this time, handle the knowledge which your curiosity craves. If you can complete this mission, on the other hand, it might tell me that you can indeed handle the truth. Failure is not an option, Garnetite. You are dismissed." she said. Garnetite bowed respectfully, then disappeared with the youma in a vortex of dark energy.

" Why did you say you would tell him your plans? " The snake asked.

" You know my plans, Violence. " The Queen said in a monotonous voice, shuddering.

" Quite right, Tranquility. " Violence hissed in amusement. " If he fails to bring us the Crystals, we will eliminate him. If he does, he, along with everyone else in the Universe, will know when the three Crystals of Power are joined to form the Rose of Universal Balance. Am I right? When we have the Rose, we have the Platinum Crystal as well, which we will fill with evil energy and disturb the balance, creating the Crystal of Onyx to destroy this solar system with. Correct? "

" Correct, of course. " She said, shivering again. Her eyes focused, and she was back to the way she'd been when she was giving Garnetite orders. " And I will have my revenge on all those who opposed the Terran Royal family all those millennia ago! " Tranquility sneered in her regular voice. Violence disappeared down a shadowy hallway.

" The fool thinks this is for revenge on those other Sol System Royal families! " Violence sniggered. " She has no idea even, that she's hosting a Darkmass! And when the time is right, I'll use her to my advantage. The Darkmasses will be able to free Turmoil once again. He will strengthen Sailor Chaos, and together, they will bring about the entropy that even Sailor Cosmos cannot stop! " He hissed triumphantly.

" HEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!! "

" A MONSTER! " The group had just finished their ice cream (yes, even Serena), when they heard the piercing shriek of a defenseless civilian in trouble.

" Good bye, normal life, hello Senshi's life. " Lita mused as they ducked into an alley to transform. Serena snatched up her transformation brooch, shouted

" MOON ETERNAL POWER!!!!!!! " and became Eternal Sailor Moon. Darien took a red rose out of his pocket and lifted it into the air as the girls held up their transformation pens and shouted their transformation phrases.

" JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!!!!!!! "

" MARS CRYSTAL POWER!!!!!!! "

" VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!!!!!!! "

" MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!!!!!!! " Nothing happened.



Chapter 2


The Senshi stood there, waiting to be lifted up into the air and be surrounded in the elemental ribbons that would make up their fuku. Darien waited, holding up the rose. They waited in vain, for nothing happened.

" What? Hey! How come we can't transform?! " Lita demanded. Luna and Artemis showed up suddenly.

" Why aren't you girls at the park yet? That youma there is doing some major damage-" Artemis began.

" Our transformation pens aren't working, Artemis! What the hell are we going to do if we can't even transform?! " Lita snapped impatiently while Amy tried to figure out what had happened with her mini data computer, which suddenly crackled and split apart.

" Oh no! Going through the Cauldron of the Stars must've destroyed the capabilities of all your items that don't contain an infinite power source! " Luna gasped in realization. The girls were stricken and outraged.

" Oh great! How the hell are we supposed to fight them if we can't even transform?! " Lita demanded.

" If Sailor Moon AND Tuxedo Mask get in trouble, there will be no one who can help them!!! " Raye worried. Mina was speechless.

" And while we're here, biting each others' heads off, there's a youma in the park, terrorizing the civilians of Juuban. " Amy remarked. " We need to defend them, whether or not we can transform, and Sailor Moon did, at least, so why don't we fight the youma now, discuss things later? " They all stared at Amy. Usually, she had to be convinced to fight instead of think in a crisis, not the other way around.

" Ahem. Well? are we going or not? " Amy asked rather testily; she didn't like people staring at her.

" Uh… yeah. " Mina said, rather dazed still. They snuck through the alleys of Juuban, headed for Juuban Commons.
