by WyndSyrin

When the new court of the the Silver millennium was chosen, the Queen of the moon added 9 more to the role. This is their story in the present.Currently eight of the thirteen stories are written and going through the edit stage

1. Chapter 1

Preface:

First off; I would like to say that all characters in this story with the exception of the Guardians are Property of Takeuchi Naoko-sama and other people that I can't remember at this time.

Secondly; This is by no means a Ronin Warriors/Yorriden Samurai Troopers Cross over. The reasons that the names of six of the Guardians sound like that of Ronin Warriors is because of part of the history of each of the Guardians. Each Guardian's name is a loose translation of their given names into the Imperial Language that was used on the Moon and the Earth Kingdoms.

Thirdly; THERE IS NO SAILOR EARTH. There is a reason for this. Prince Endymion is the Defender of Earth and the Guardian of Princess Serenity.

Now with out further self-indulgence on with the story.

The coming of the Halo

The thick oily black smoke filled his lungs threatening to suck the very breath right out of his body. As Halo stumbled through the burning ruins of the castle looking for the rest of his friends, he began to cough as the smoke and the stench of burning flesh ripped at his lungs. The uniform that he was wearing was ripped in places and he had slight trickles of blood flowing out of wounds that he had received. Why did it have to happen now of all days? It was supposed to be a joyous occasion for them. Today was supposed to be Princess Serenity's sixteenth birthday. The day that would have marked the formal announcement of Princess Serenity's claim to the heir of the throne of the Moon. Now that festive occasion was ruined. Halo swore a silent vow that the Dark Kingdom would pay for this outrage. If he survived this nightmarish destruction, then the Dark Kingdom would have someone that would hunt them to the ends of the system until either he died or the Dark Kingdom was driven from the system forever.

Rounding a corner, his heart nearly leaped up into his throat. He saw laying on the ground in front of him, the body of Princess Jupiter, the person he had sworn to protect dead. How he did not know, but what he did know was that it was his fault. Falling to his knees, Halo was trying to fight back the grief; but to no avail. Reaching out to her he drew her into his arms and started to silently cry. The realization of what this meant finally setting in. His only reason for continuing was stripped from him.

"Jupiter," Halo sobbed as the tears streamed down his face like waterfalls. "Jupiter, my Princess how could I have failed you like this. I can't believe that I let you die."

Swearing to get his revenge as he slowly rose to his feet, Halo began to look for the rest of his comrades. He figured that he had to find them so they could at least take revenge for what had happened to all of them.

"Inferno!" Halo yelled. "Inferno where are you?"

"Commander Halo," a voice said.

Trying to find the person that called his name, Halo looked around him and saw nothing. It was on then that he saw Queen Serenity striding toward him with a look of great sadness crossing her face. He could see that she had been crying. The exact details he did not know, but he had a good idea as to the reasons that caused her to cry. Serenity's beautiful Kingdom had been smashed and destroyed in the matter of one hour. It made his heart ache to see the Queen of the Moon look so sad. Yet he understood why. Her beautiful kingdom was now in ruin. Possibly her own daughter missing or dead, which ever the case would be enough to make Queen Serenity worry. It was natural for a mother to worry about her only child. Even more so in this instance since Princess Serenity was also the Designated Heir to the throne of the Moon. Though right now that was a moot point. There was nothing left of the Moon Kingdom for her to rule. The Dark Kingdom would pay dearly for that. Some day and some how they would pay.

"My Queen. What has happened," Halo asked as he fought back still more tears that wanted to flow from his own eyes.

"Queen Beryl and her armies attacked and destroyed everything," Queen Serenity said near tears. The sight of his Queen in tears was almost too much for him to bear. "Inferno, WildFire, Torrent, and Stratta are all dead. Your close friend Trition was also killed. It was his warning that managed to prevent us from all being killed."

"What about Thanos, Chrono, and HardRock? Where are they," Halo asked. He was trying to hold back the sadness that he felt for the death of Princess Jupiter. Now he had found out that his close friend and comrade was dead. Those that Halo called his 'Inner Circle' was also dead as well. The weight of the realization that now three of the four newest recruits were missing as well made his heavy heart feel as if a rather large lead weight had been added to the already heavy burden. "My Queen what has become of your daughter?"

"I don't know what has happened to the other Guardians," said Queen Serenity. "My daughter, I don't know what happened to her. I haven't seen her since the ball and she was with Endymion."

As he was about to say something, Halo was startled by a man that look almost like a woman.

"Zoisite, so you have come for Queen Serenity," Halo said challengingly as he place himself between Zoisite and Queen Serenity.

"No, only for you," Zoisite said maliciously. He then conjured up a spear of ice and ran it through Halo killing him. That was the last sight he saw before blackness claimed him.

Back in the normal world, a young man woke up covered in perspiration. That dream had been his most vivid to date. What exactly did that dream mean? It looked and felt so real to him. Looking at his hands, the young man thought that he could see stains of some kind on his palms starting to fade away. Was that the blood from the dead Princess that he was holding? Flexing his hands, he could feel the slight pain starting to slowly ebb away from them. He had been gripping something hard, the only question he had was what was it. Taking in a calming breath, he started to cough. He could still taste the acrid odor of the smoke in the back of his mouth. The taste felt so real and yet he knew that it was only a dream that his agitated mind was cooking up. Even now far removed from the scene of the carnage, this confused young man was bothered by what he had just experienced. What exactly had he seen? Was it really a dream, or could it be some memory of a life that he had lived before. He wanted answers to his questions about these dreams, but he could not think of anyone that could really answer them.

This young man's name was Shane Adams and right now the dreams that he was having was filling him with about as many questions as he had answered just by thinking about the dreams. His only other problem was finding someone that he could talk to about what he suspected. The last time he had tried to talk to his parents about it, he ended up in a psychiatrist's office.

'It will be a cold day in hell before I tell my parents about this dream,' Shane thought as he tried to wipe the sweat off of his face.

It bothered him that he would feel the way that he did after what was supposed to be a decent night's sleep. He hated this feeling more than anything.

This was the same dream that he had for the past four nights. The last three nights were not as detailed as this one was. Each night after the first dream started, the subsequent nights began to become increasingly more detailed. Each time the dream started he would catch glimpses of people that he had sworn looked like those he knew in the present. The last person that he was able to get a decent look at was this young girl that was standing next to a wall as if she were trying to hold the weight of it by herself.

'I only knew one person like that,' Shane thought as he shook the sleep free from his groggy mind. 'She is in my fifth hour AP Chemistry Class. Nice girl, just too shy for me.'

The only part of this dream that he was having that he had not glimpsed was what lead up to the point he was living out.All he knew so far was that he, or someone that looked like him was at a celebration of someone important. Then from there the entire scene turned ugly as he witnessed the destruction of that hall.

Perhaps he was reliving a past life. It was entirely possible for that to be the truth. He was aware of at least two Eastern Religions that believed in reincarnation as part of their teachings. Then again, he reasoned as he crawled out of bed, it could just be what it was, nothing but a dream.

Deciding that it was a past life, Shane starting exploring several options that could be right explanation for it. He kept coming back to one question that was bothering him;Who was this person that he would end up living the last hour or so of his life? The skills that he possessed were incredible at best. None of which were a part of what he was. It did not make sense. Nothing had made sense to him for the better part of two years. Each time he would see the Earth from the Moon. It did not make sense to be able to see the Earth from the Moon unless at some point he was on the Moon. But he knew that it was impossible for the Moon to even support life. He knew from science class that the Moon did not have an atmosphere on it at all. Yet the dream showed that there was such a civilization on the Moon.

Looking around his dark room sleepily, he saw his cat Selene asleep on the pillow next to his head. He knew that Selene would always sleep with him regardless of how he actually felt. Something about how she would listen to his complaints and his concerns mad him wonder if she was more than just a unique cat.

"Oh Selene if only you understood what I am going through," Shane said as he stroked his cat while she slept.

Glancing at the clock he noticed that he was late for school. Tearing around his room at what only seem to be hurricane speed, he was some how able to get himself ready for school in record time. Some how he had slept right through his alarm and was now thirty minutes late for school. If he had taken the time to look closely at his clock, he would have noticed that it had mysteriously set itself back to the proper time.

"Hey jerk you forgot your bag!" said a voice belonging to his little sister Mandy.

"Thanks, you little weasel," Shane said as he snatched his bag and ran down the hall. He did not really hate his sister, but there were times that he wished that she would just leave him alone. This morning was no different. In fact, he wanted her to stop bothering him all together.

Not really wanting breakfast, Shane went running out of the house and down the street to school. He hated this school more than the last one. The only people that did not even care what he had done in the past were the members of Football team. Outside of them, he could not stand most of the students. And his teachers were even worse. Everyone of them was trying to accuse him of one wrong thing or another. Even things that he knew were not his fault or he was no where near when it happened.

"Man if I am late I'll end up in detention again this week," Shane swore as he ran to school.

Getting to his first class was not a problem since it was on the first floor of his school. He had hoped to get through this year without letting temper get the better of him. Getting kicked out of this school would not look good as far as his grades went. He was doing his best to keep an "A" average.

As it would turn out, it appeared that this day would be the worst one of his life. Standing outside the door to his First Period class was a group of boys that was all to familiar to him. Most of that group were the kids that only went to school because they were told to do so. All but one of them had been known to be in trouble more often than not. The last one of the group was the one that made him mad. This was the principal's son. This kid could get away with just about anything and most of the time he would. Those kind of kids bothered Shane It said that their parents believed that their kid could do no wrong. In Shane's mind it was sad really since it would come a shock to their parents when they did get in trouble.

"So if it isn't the high school reject," The one kid who was the biggest of the gang said.

"Man I am late and I don't have time for this," Shane swore as he pushed past them. "Move it now!"

"So what's in the bag Geek," the littlest of the group said as he stole Shane's bag. He recognized him as the principal's son. "Well, well and just what do we have here. A nice neat history paper all ready to be turned in. Not anymore!"

The gang then pulled out lighters and burned his assignment right in front of him. That was the last straw with Shane. He had put up with enough of their constant harassment and he was about to do something about it. Grabbing the shirt of one of the kids with the lighters, Shane threw him up against the lockers and started to punch him with out a hint of letting up. The kid's friends tried to pull Shane off of him, but Shane landed kicks to the stomach that dropped all of them where they stood. The principal showed up and pulled Shane off of the kid. Shane then found himself in the principal's office.

"So what caused the fight this time Shane," The Principal asked. "And don't feed me a line that it wasn't your fault."

"They burnt my history paper and I was not going to tolerate any more of their crap," Shane said. He was already expecting something from that principal and this outburst clenched it for him. "And this time you son was one of the jerks that did it."

"My son would not do anything like that," The principal said evenly. "He is not a hoodlum at all."

"Bullshit," Shane spat back. It was all that he could do to keep his anger in check. He felt like doubling up his fist and hitting the principal for that. But he knew if he did that, then he was going to get expelled. "Your stupid brat kid was the one that instigated the incident in the first place. I had nothing to do with this incident at all."

"How dare you call my son a brat," The principal said nearly fuming with anger. "He doesn't get himself kicked out of school for fighting. I know for a fact that you do."

"How dare you," Shane snarled as he stood up quickly. His hands were clenched at his sides. If this person was looking for an early retirement, then it was about to come to him the hard way. Now he was going to give the principal everything that he deserved. He had no right to bring up things that had happened in the past. They had nothing to do with the current school at all. He believed that they wanted a reason to get rid of him.

"When are you going to open you fucking eyes that your kid is the cause of ninety percent of the trouble in this school," Shane continued allowing venom to drip from each word. "Then again I honestly don't think that you give a shit about what he does in the first place. You are blind to think that he is innocent."

"For that remark don't even bother setting foot back in this school ever again," the principal said, his voice quivering with rage. "This was your last chance here."

"Great this is the fourth school in as many months," Shane said as he walked home from his now very short day. He was tempted to forget about going home, but he knew that his parents would have already got a phone call from the school. It bothered him that they did not even give him a chance to explain why he did what he did. All that the school did was kick him out for fighting and bring up his past record. "That old fart was lucky that I did not punch him in the mouth."

'Last chance,' Shane thought with a loud snort. 'I don't remember even getting a first chance there. That school hated me from the beginning. It wasn't my fault that I would do better at everyone in my class when it came to my studies. I think that I was the only one there that actually studied for a change. Never mind that bastard principal would not believe that his kid was one of those that pissed me off. I wonder if I could sue them for what they did to me? In fact I think that I should.'

"Well better face the music from Mom about my fighting in school," Shane said with a resigned sigh.

As he walked in the door, he knew that he was in very deep trouble because his mother was waiting for him when he walked in the door. Her expression showed that she was upset. If there was one thing that he did not like about his mother that was seeing her upset.

"Shane Wesley Adams, just what were you thinking when you got into that fight," his mother asked.

"They burned my History paper," was all that Shane could say. He was not about to say much more than that, simply because he was in no mood to listen to her subsequent tirade that would follow.

"That isn't any excuse," Shane's mother fumed. "You should have ignored them."

"Easier said than done. I don't thing that you would care to know that it was not my fault," Shane said trying to keep his tone neutral. He was already in a bad mood and he did not want to get into yet another shouting match with his mother about something stupid. "They did not even give me the chance to get in my classroom."

"Still, that's no excuse for what you did," His mother said flatly.

"And what would you suggest then," Shane asked as he kicked off his Nike's. He was not about to give her the satisfaction of facing her as she tried to yell at him.

"I don't know what to tell you that you would listen to," his mother said. He thought that he could hear her starting to get angry. "And the principal said that you were nasty to him."

"Nasty to him," Shane asked incredulously as he turned to face her. "He was the one that threw the fit over the fact that his precious son was the one that instigated the fight in the first place."

"I know Steven," his mother said. "He would not do anything like what you are suggesting. Now I suggest that you apologize to the principal for what you said and I will try to get you back into school."

"FUCK NO," Shane screamed out. Even his own mother did not believe him. This day was starting to go from bad to worse for him and it was not even lunch time yet. "I will not recant what I said. I am telling you that I saw his kid among them and that is the truth. I don't care what you think."

"Your father and I are not going to put up with your rebellious nature any longer," His mother said hotly. "We are sending you away to a school where manners is a big part of their curriculum. We know that you are not a delinquent, your grades the last two years is proof of that."

"Top one percent of my class," Shane muttered under his breath.

"Exactly, we know that you can do good when you want to," his mother said as if she did not even here the way he said it. "I am just tired of your constant fighting. That is why we are sending you to school away from here."

"So where would that be huh," Shane asked. Now his own parents did not want anything more to do with him. 'Thanks fricken a lot Mom! You are deporting me is that it?'

"In Japan," His mother said.

"Oh Japan is it," Shane said with some derision in his tone. He was hating his parents even more now than he did before. "That's all fine and dandy, yes but there is one problem mother!"

"Oh and what might that problem be," his mother asked.

"The language is the problem," Shane said. "I kinda don't understand any Japanese at all."

"Well it is a long flight so you will have plenty of time to learn the basics," his mother said.

"Where will I be staying and can I take Selene with me," Shane asked not really liking the idea of going to some foreign country to go to school. How in the world was he supposed to learn "the Basics" on an eighteen hour flight?

"Well you will be staying with the Tsukino's. Mrs. Tsukino is a close friend of mine and I don't want you taking my name and running through the mud with her. I know you too well," his mother said as she fixed him with a look that told him that he had better do as he was told. "And of course you are taking that strange cat with you!"

What was Shane supposed to do now? He had just been told by the person that claimed to be his mother that he was being sent away to school. To say that he was upset with her would be worse than saying that the sky was blue.

'She expects me to spend eighteen hours on a plane trying to learn a language that has at least six ways to say "I,"' Shane thought acidly. 'I will be lucky if I ask how to find the bathroom properly.'

Looking back on the way that his mother talked, it was as if she and his father had decided long ago to deport him to Japan for school. Deportation was the only word that he had for what was going on. He had to wonder if his parents really cared about him at all. The way that they acted showed that they did not even care about him at all. This did not make any sense to him at all. They would be willing to pay for the tuition for a school half way around the world, but they would not even pay for school pictures for him. He had to pay for those out of his own money that he had saved up for a car. Shane was sensing a double standard that he really did not like.

His plans for buying a car was now placed on the back burner as well. He had wanted to have a car by the time he was ready to graduate. Though the kind of car that he wanted would have to be imported. Shane did know someone over in Philadelphia that could get him the car of his dreams. That car was a Nissan Skyline. He was shooting for at least a 1995 model year once he had the money from the last bit of tutoring that he was doing. He was tutoring a neighbor's son in seventh grade that was failing Basic Algebra. Now all of those plans were shot down the drain, but then again maybe they were not. He was going to Japan after all and since that was where they were sold, just maybe he could actually get one. Thankfully he had an international drivers licenses. That had came in handy when they went to London on vacation last summer.

At least he knew that Mandy cared about him. He had to console her that he would not be gone for very long. Just to finish high school and then he would be back. Her tears that she cried at the airport really set his nerves on end. He cared a great deal for Mandy it was just that she could be a pest. It would seem that she was the only one of his immediate family that cared what happened to him. She wanted him to write her everyday. Shane knew that even though she was a brat, he did care about her. Frankly he did not even care about their parents since they decided to pass him off on someone in Japan. In his mind that was the lowest of lows. He would have words with his parents once he got back from school. Maybe then they would realize what idiots they were. Then again maybe they would not.

Now to top things off the plane ride was boring and Shane knew it. He vaguely tried to recall if the person that gave the instructions at the beginning of the flight was actually speaking English or not. Granted it was the English language, but the way the person spoke sure made it sound worse than it actually was. Sure they were trying to impart some worth while information, but they could have been a bit more plain about it.

Every time that he tried to sleep he would have that same odd dream. It bothered him that he could not understand what it meant. The airline's in-flight movie also left something to be desired. It gave him no end of confidence when they started showing movies on air disasters. Plus to make matters even worse, they were showing them on the Pacific leg of the journey.

'And I have to wonder why people hate flying in the first place,' Shane thought tersely. 'American Airlines, you are on my shit list when it comes to riding coach!! Why couldn't you guys play something like 'Godzilla 1985' or some jazz like that?'

Then there was this near paralyzing fear that was threatening to consume him. Where it was coming from he did not know, but perhaps once he landed in Tokyo he could begin to find out what was causing it. Twice he had to run to the cramped bathroom to expel what he had just finished eating not more that ten minutes ago. He wanted off this plane before the terror that was running through him drove him crazy. Perhaps this feeling that he held the answers to the three times that he collapsed. He had hoped that it was the case because he did not like the feeling that he was getting. Getting up to use the restroom, for what would now be the third time during the flight, he noticed that his orange and tan tabby cat, Selene was in the passengers compartment. Looking around to make sure that no one saw the cat, Shane picked her up and walked to the bathroom with it.

After closing the door and locking it Shane started to talk to the cat. He knew that it was impossible for that cat to get out of the cargo area.

"Selene you realize that you are supposed to be in the cargo compartment."

"Meow," Selene said. The look on her face said that she really did not care what a human thought.

"Look I don't think that I can sneak you back to my seat with out problems," Shane said exasperated. "How the hell did you get up here in the first place?"

"Meow!" Selene said as she butted her head into Shane's outstretched finger.

"Geez Selene, sometimes I think that you understand me and could talk if you wanted to," Shane said as he scratched her behind the ears. He had to admit that she was one strange cat. He had found her at the pound and he thought that she deserved a home. What he also found out about this cat was that she had a golden crescent moon on her forehead. When he got her he decided to call her Selene. That was in honor of the Goddess from an old Myth that would come to Earth to see her beloved Prince.

Before Selene could say anything, there was a scream that echoed from the passenger compartment. Slowly unlatching the door and inching toward the cabin, Shane saw this man, well it looked more like a woman, floating in mid air. The four flight attendants were sprawled over the backs of the seats. From their faces, Shane could surmise that they looked like they had ran a marathon. Several of the other passengers also had the same condition. It was inconceivable for anyone, at least in his limited experience, to be as drained as they were. And yet all of the evidence pointed to just such a condition.

As Shane's gaze fell across the person that was floating above the other passengers, something in the back of his mind clicked. Whoever this person was looked exactly like the one from his dreams. What was going on? Things were getting too weird on this plane and Shane did not like it one bit.

Slinking back to the confines of the bathroom and slamming the door, Shane begin to panic. He was not seeing what he thought that he was. It was inconceivable for a man, at least he thought that it was a man, to float in the air.

'That had to break several laws of physics,' Shane thought quickly.

"Oh crap, the plane is being hijacked and there is this man, I think, floating in mid air," Shane said out loud to himself. He was starting to babble and could not even get himself to calm down at all. "Where is Sailor V when we need her. She could easily deal with this-this person. Also where is Lucas when you need him. This would be great for a new movie for him."

At that moment Selene saw a strange sight. She could see a deep green glow coming from the center of Shane's forehead. That glow then split into two smaller shapes. One was the Symbol of Jupiter and the other was the symbol for wisdom.

'He can't be the one,' Selene thought as she padded forward. 'This kid just can't be the one that was the Guardian of Princess Jupiter. I guess I have to make sure.'

"Halo wake up!" Selene said, this time in the human language.

"Selene did you say something? Because if you did then I am in no mood to hear it right now!" Shane snapped. Then the realization hit him. Selene did not "Meow" at him she actually spoke to him in English. Turning around really slow he saw that Selene was holding an Emerald green bracelet.

"Here Halo! Take it and remember all," Selene said.

"Y-y-you can talk," Shane stuttered. This was starting to become a surrealistic nightmare right in front of him. Shane did not like where this ride was taking him. "Whoa reality check here! There is a man, well I think that it is a man, floating in mid air and now my cat is talking to me? This has got to be some wacked out dream. I know it must be the fish that I ate for lunch. Yeah that's it! Typical airline food."

"No time to explain," Selene said. "Put it on and say 'Jupiter Planet Power Transform!'"

"Ok Selene I will," Shane said as he put on the bracelet, then in a loud voice he yelled. "JUPITER PLANET POWER TRANSFORM!!"

In a blinding flash of green-white light Shane was transformed in to a suit of Emerald green Samurai-style armor. When the light cleared, Shane saw that he was also carrying a Nodachi in his right hand.

"I remember every thing now. Zoisite killed me as I was protecting Queen Serenity. Princess Jupiter was killed because of my failure to be by her side!" Shane said now as he could recall things that he knew were not there before. Some how the armor and the phrase that he said unlocked sealed memories of a life that he did not realize that he had lived.

"Um Halo, the passengers of this plane," Selene prompted.

"Thanks Selene," Halo said as he opened the door.

Zoisite was having his little fun draining all of the passengers of their energy. He had not had so much fun since he went looking for the seven rainbow crystals that made up the silver moon crystal. Though the thought of crawling through the sewers and running into a wall of rats1 was not his idea of fun. His fun was short lived however, because his leering grin turned into a look of sheer terror as he saw a figure that he believed long dead emerge from the bathroom. At first he thought that it was one of his nemeses the Sailor Senshi. In this instance, he was wrong. This person was taller than even that blond Senshi Uranus. From his distance, Zoisite was unable to tell whether or not this individual was male or female. He did see however, that this person was wearing some kind of armor.

"So Zoisite we meet again!" The figure said sharply. Only then did he realize that the person that addressed him was clearly male. "I will not allow you to harm the innocent passengers of this plane. All I ever wanted was to be just a normal student going to school in Japan, but no, you just had to go and ruin it for me!"

"Who the hell are you," Zoisite asked.

'No I will not say that. 'Name's Ashe, Housewares!' No way that is just to stupid.' Shane thought. "I am the Guardian of the Princess of Jupiter. I am Halo!! And on behalf of Jupiter and the Moon, you will die Zoisite!!"

"Halo, now I remember you. I killed you ten-thousand years ago. But I will not dirty my hands with you yet," Zoisite sneered. Outwardly he was confident, but on the inside Zoisite knew that he was going to be in for a fight. Thinking quickly, he turned to someone that was sitting right below him. "Aerlith come forth and deal with him!"

"Yes my master," said a raspy voice. One of the passenger stood up and then transformed into what looked like a woman with six arms and a snake's body where legs were supposed to be.

"Oh fucking cute," Halo swore. His day was really starting to go from bad to worse. "Real cute Zoisite. Where do you get your monsters? The D&D Monsters Compendium?"

Deciding that discretion was the better part of valor, Halo dropped the visor on his helmet and waited patiently for that thing's attack. Attack it did, and he was having a hard time blocking all six arms.

"That's it you are gonna die," Halo snarled. "THUNDER SWORD SLASH!!!!" Halo then yelled. His Nodachi then started to glow with electrical energy as he ran the demon through and electrocuting it.

'Well at least it wasn't Miko Mido getting rid of it!' Halo thought with a shudder. "Alright who wants some? Who wants a little? Huh? Who wants some of this," Halo said as he looked around the plane for more of those things.

"So Halo, I see you haven't lost you touch," Zoisite said with a steely edge to it. "I think that you will make a formidable foe."

"I will not fight you here Zoisite. Go away!" Halo said as he sliced at him.

"Just you wait Halo!!! Zoi!!!!" Zoisite said and disappeared in a flurry of lotus petals.

Returning to the bathroom Halo powered down and tried to sneak his cat back to his seat. It seemed that nobody noticed that Shane had returned to his seat with a cat. And why should they? The Monster that was destroyed would be more than enough to keep everyone in the cabin talking for the rest of the flight.

"Selene why do I have these feelings of fear and terror since I got on this plane," Shane asked Selene once they had sat down.

"Silly it is the Soul Bond that Queen Serenity had you take with Jupiter after you finished your training," Selene said quietly. "Queen Serenity hoped that you two would eventually get married and raise a family. You know I am glad that you rescued me from that awful pound. I wasn't certain that you were Halo until now. But I have always suspected that you were him."

"Selene, I was not worthy to have the love of the Princess," Shane said acidly. "I was born a commoner on Jupiter and that is all I shall ever be! You know that Princess Mars will point that out quite clearly. That is if she is still alive."

"Stop feeling so guilty for yourself," Selene chided as she dug her claws into Shane's legs. It took all of Shane's control to keep from yelping in pain. "The fact remains that you still have that Soul Bond with Jupiter means that she is alive and you can try to win her love now."

"Are you sure Selene? I mean she probably already has a boyfriend or three," Shane said feeling very depressed as he stroked her fur.

"Just wait you never know what might happen," Selene said as she rubbed her head against his hand.

"Yeah you're right," Shane said as he started to pet Selene.

"True," Selene said as she curled up in his lap and went to sleep. Shane thought that he could hear her start to purr to soothe his currently worn nerves.

Shane's flight landed with out a hitch at the Tokyo-Narita airport. The last movie that they showed did not give him too much confidence in the airport either. He had to admit that the airport was not Narita, but Dullas in Washington DC. Though the movie still did not leave him with too much confidence. He still would have preferred to have seen a Godzilla movie. At least that film was quite fictional. He did not think that he would see a giant green lizard in Tokyo. He could hope after all.

As soon as the plane landed, the terror that was rolling in him subsided and he started to feel much better than he did. It still puzzled him as to the reasons why he was terrified while he was on the plane. Perhaps he would have to try to figure that out as well. Stretching and clearing any cramps that he might of had, Shane allowed himself to dwell on the memories that had been awoken before he had fought Zoisite. The dreams that he was having now started to make some sense. He had been on the Moon at that time. Though his rational side was telling him that it was impossible. Now he had to piece together who the people in his dreams were. Maybe once he had time to think about them in detail, he would be able to figure them out better. Maybe he could find someone in this new school that he could confide in. He never really had any close friends when he went to school in Boston. Most of the kids would complain that he would always show them up with his grades. He could not help if he was quite smart. That had always been a mystery to him as well. He remembered only being an average student until he was about fourteen. Then by some strange occurrence, he started getting perfect marks in all of his classes. He never really questioned it, but for the longest time he had to wonder what had caused it as well. Also other skills that he knew for a fact that he did not have came to the surface as well. Before his fourteenth birthday he never had any musical talent at all. Granted he could carry a tune, but that was about the extent of it. Now he could play just about any instrument that he could get his hands on. Currently his three favorite instruments were bass guitar, lead guitar, and flute. Why flute he was not fully sure, but maybe it had something to do with the memories that now became part of him.

At the luggage claim he was startled out of his thoughts by several people that approached him. One was a blonde with the strangest hair style he had ever seen. She had her hair done up in twin spheres on either side of her head. The excess hair streamed out of it like two long ribbons. He surmised that she wore her hair in that fashion simply because it was the easiest for her to take care of. Also he figured that she must have extremely long hair as well. From the way that she acted, Shane could guess that she was a kind of person that was out going and easily made friends with who ever she came across.

'Looks like a pair of doughnut holes on her head,' Shane thought trying to hide a snicker and a yawn behind a hand. 'Gods, I am more tired than I initially thought.'

The other was a tall brown haired girl with green eyes. Shane could see that she was friends with the blonde with the doughnut holes on her head. He could see that his initial assessment of that girl was correct. This new girl that was with her was the one that he was actually interested in. He wanted to know more about her and yet he wanted to stay as far away from her as he could. Something about the way that she looked reminded him of the same person that was in his dreams. Shane had to think that he was putting the girl in his dreams in the place of this girl that had caused his heart to skip a beat. Yet Shane had to wonder if there was something about her that was actually the one that he saw in his dream.

'It can't be Princess Jupiter,' Shane thought in shock as all he could do was stare at her. 'I thought that she died all those years ago. She looks like her. I think that it must be her. It has to be her. If I was reborn in this time, then she would be as well. It is the only thing that makes sense right now.'

As he looked at her closely he felt that part of him that had woken up become active again. Something akin to a feeling was being sent across the link. As he concentrated on that feeling, it became coherent thought.

'I swear that I have seen him before,' the thought said. 'He reminds me of someone from my distant past. He seems to be a gentle sort. Though I have to wonder why he's looking at me the way that he is. Do I remind him of someone as well?'

That alone was enough to get him to find interest in the other person that showed up as well. It bothered him that she had noticed his staring at her. He needed to be a bit more discrete about it. It would not do for him to act like he normally would when he would 'girl watch.' This one, to his best estimate, seemed to be the type that would not stand for most of the typical pick up lines that were usually used.

The final person that was with the two older girls was a kid about twelve-years-old. By his best estimates, this kid would have to be about as old as his sister Mandy. She, like the blonde, had dark blue eyes and her hair had a similar style. In her case, her hair was pulled up in the shape of rabbit ears. Plus her hair was the brightest pink that he had ever seen.

'Can't be natural,' Shane thought as he shook his head to clear the cobwebs of fatigue. This was the first time that he had ever felt like he had been ran over by a steam roller on an international flight. 'Has to be dyed. Well that is the latest trend over here. Dye your hair an outlandish color. Not to mention she looks like a frickin rabbit! Oh hell what are the words for small rabbit? Ah now I remember, chibi usagi!'

The other mental voice in his head just laughed at his shock over the strange hair color.

'Hey where I come from there aren't any people with hot pink hair,' Shane thought with a snort.

All three were dressed up really nice. The blonde was wearing a really nice dress in a light shade of blue. The little girl was wearing something similar. If there was not such an obvious difference in age, Shane would have thought that they were twins. The taller girl was wearing a long sleeve black blouse and a light green skirt that fell to just below the knees. She was also wearing a matching pair of light green high heels as well. As Shane's eyes lingered on the tall brown haired girl, something passed in their gazing at each other as if a kind of understanding was reached between them.

"Um g-good evening," Shane said with a stutter and doing his best to hide a look of embarrassment that was starting to creep across his face. If he started acting like a complete fool every time he looked at that girl, then he could kiss his chances with her good bye.

"Could you help us we are looking for a someone that was supposed to be staying with some friends of mine for school," The blonde said.

"Well what does he or she look like and perhaps I can help you find him or her," Shane said as he pulled his large suitcase out of the luggage claim.

"Ok thanks," The blonde said as she looked at her friend. She was just standing there looking at Shane like she had just been hit with a love arrow from Cupid himself. More to the point Cupid used a Gatling gun filled with Love Arrows. "He is taller than my friend here, with the straightest black hair and dark blue eyes.

"Well if I see him I will let you two know Ok," Shane said as he grabbed his cat carrier and let Selene out near the window.

"You must be the exchange student that was supposed to be coming here from America," The pink haired girl said.

'Sharp one this kid is,' Shane thought in mild surprise. 'Must be best in her class as well.'

"Yes I am," Shane said as he tried not to stare at either one of the older girls or punt the pink haired one. And just like his sister she was just as annoying and just as loud. Also just as blunt. Though Shane had to guess that this girl was worse. "I am waiting for a Tsukino Usagi. Who in their right mind would name their child Moon Bunny?"

"I am Usagi!!" The blonde said now looking very furious. "Who are you then."

"Me, well my name is Shane Adams," Shane said. He did not realize that he had just insulted her with that comment. He could swear that the little pink haired rabbit-girl was also offended by the remark as well. He must make amends for what he said later. Right now he wanted to sleep and hope that the nightmare that he was walking in would end. "And this is my cat Selene," Shane said pointing to the cat that was dozing in the window.

"Well you know my name," said Usagi. Shane thought that he could still hear a hint of disgust in her voice. He would have to apologize for that insult a bit later. "Guys introduce yourselves!"

"I am Chibi-Usa," The pink haired girl said and Shane recoiled in fear of this little girl. That kid had to go. There was just no two ways about it. She frightened him. Shane knew that there was not many people that could frighten him.

"He looks exactly like my old sempai2 that broke my heart at my last school," The brown haired girl said. Shane's heart just sank. Here he thought that he might have a chance with her and now he finds out that she has a boyfriend.

'Crap, she is already spoken for,' Shane thought sadly. 'Oh well I swore a long time ago that I would not allow my feelings to be tread upon. Not after what happened in Toledo. If Amy wanted to run my feelings through the mud, there were other less painful ways to do it.'

"Mako-chan!!" Usagi chided.

"Oh sorry, My name is Kino, Makoto. Pleased to meet you," Makoto said as she bowed.

"Hey it's not your fault," Shane said with a smile. He genuinely liked her, but he was not in Japan to find a girlfriend. He was there to learn and to graduate from highschool. "Um is there some way that I can get all of my luggage back to where ever I will be staying?"

"Mamo-chan is here somewhere," Usagi said as she looked at the way that Makoto was looking at Shane. "I'll go find him. Chibi-Usa come on let's leave those two alone so they can get to know each other."

"Do I gotta leave," Chibi-Usa whined as Usagi dragged her off.

"Well Makoto, I uh was wondering if you go to school with Usagi," Shane asked. He was nervous and it showed. He really did not like to be left alone with a stranger in a strange land. Not to mention he was never really that good with women to begin with. Some how they intimidated him. Yet the part of him that woke up was starting to become a bit more predominate in his mind. Shane hoped that it would not cause him any undue problems. Some how he thought that he knew this stranger better than he did when he first saw her. Could she be the person that he saw in his dreams? She almost looks like the Princess that he saw in his dreams. She had to be, but he did not want to give anything away at first.

"Yeah I do," Makoto said. "Will you be going to school with us?"

"Yeah I will be," Shane stammered out. "Say Makoto do you ever get scared while flying on a plane?"

"I don't like planes," Makoto said as she squirmed in her seat. Apparently just mentioning flying made her nervous. "I guess I just never did."

Perhaps what Selene told him was true. He did feel real uneasy while he was on that plane. Then the instant that he got off he felt much better.

"Ok, then I won't bring up that subject ever again," Shane said. 'She is not telling me the whole truth. Maybe once I get to know her better she would tell me the entire story.'

"Thank you," Makoto said.

What she did next frightened Shane. At the sound of the next plane taking off, Makoto jumped right into his arms and nearly squeezed him too hard. Shane did his best to keep from falling off of the bench when she did that to him.

"I am sorry," Makoto said as she quickly moved back to her side of the bench. "I don't even like the sounds of airplanes either."

'Wow, I didn't think that she was that afraid of flying,' Shane thought as soon as he could form coherent thoughts. 'Though she could do that to me all that she wants to. I don't mind at all.'

"It's understandable," Shane said as his mind was still spinning from what had just happened. "I have never been to fond of them myself."

"But you came here on one," Makoto said slowly.

"A necessary evil," Shane said evenly. "Back home if I had my way I would take a bus or drive across the country."

"So how did you get your Moon Cat," Makoto said obviously changing the subject.

"My what," Shane said not quite understanding what she had said.

"Your cat," Makoto said indicating the cat that was now sleeping in his lap.

"Oh you mean Selene," Shane said once he realized what she was talking about. "I rescued her from the animal shelter when I was thirteen. I have had her ever since. To tell you the truth, she it extremely smart for a cat."

"What exactly has she done that makes you think this way," Makoto asked as she started to pet the dozing cat.

"She just understands what I am saying that's all," Shane said obviously lying. He knew that she could talk, but he was not about to tell her that.

"It is true that cats are quite smart," Makoto said as she cast him a warm smile. If he had not have been already sitting down, the smile would have made him quite weak in the knees.

A little while later, Usagi came back with a man who looked to be in his mid twenties. Shane could not help but stare at him. He reminded him of a person that he saw in his dreams.

'His demeanor reminds me of that Prince that I saw in those dreams that I kept having. Could he be that Prince that was in love with. . . Serenity? Shane my friend, you are getting your myths entangled with reality,' Shane thought as he shook his head. He once again heard the soft chuckling again at his thoughts. Who in the world was the owner of that mental tone? He had to find it.

"Shane I would like you to meet Mamo-chan," Usagi said.

"Uh hello," Shane said as he deposited Selene in Makoto's lap and stood up. "My name is Shane Adams."

"Chiba, Mamoru" Mamoru said as he extended a hand.

"Pleased to meet you," Shane said as he shook the proffered hand. "Um Usagi, my parents said that I was supposed to be staying with your family for the duration of my schooling here."

"Ok I think Mom knows more about that," Usagi said.

"Cool, now if I could get a hand with my stuff then we can be on our way," Shane said. "Come here Selene."

"O-Meow," Selene said catching herself. 'I don't want to give away that I can talk just yet. Wait a minute that's Prince Endymion, Princess Serenity, and Princess Jupiter. How lucky that they are here. Why doesn't Shane recognize them? I think that maybe he does and is not saying anything about it. This bares some more investigation on my part. I myself would like to know who that little girl is!'

In the car, the little girl with the pink hair sat between Shane and Makoto on the way home from the airport. Selene was stretched out on Shane's lap staring intently at the little girl. The few times that she would try to pet Selene, all that Selene did was shrink away from her outstretched hand. Or on some occasions hiss at her. Makoto just could not keep herself from staring at him all of the way to Usagi's parent's place. Shane was thinking of several creative ways to get rid of the pink haired girl. All of them had a certain sadistic feel to them. He had to quickly banish all of those thoughts, because he knew that the link that he had with his princess was two-way. He also had to banish the extremely horizontal thoughts that he had when he would look at Makoto. Something about her made his heart skip a beat. Shane really could not help himself when he looked at her. He would be honored to be allowed to date her. Though he did not know whether or not she should would accept him or not. After all he was a lazy and illiterate American. Well at least according to a Japanese executive that must have had some bias toward the US. He also had to realize that he was a foreigner. Something about the way that Japanese did not care for foreigners did not sit too well with Shane. He could tell that they did not outright hate them the way the French did. He hoped that she would at least give him a chance.

As soon as Shane got out of the car to stretch he noticed that there was a black and a grey cat that was staring at him. Even both of them had the crescent moon symbol on their forehead as well.

'They must be able to talk as well,' Shane thought as he looked at them. 'If Selene can talk then I am sure that they can as well. It would make sense since Selene looks similar to them.'

"Um Usagi-san who are these two cats," Shane asked indicating the two cats.

"Oh that is Luna and her daughter Diana," Usagi said.

"Hey Mamoru-san thanks for the ride," Shane said to Mamoru.

"Not a problem Shane," Mamoru said. "Oh, by the way, I was wondering if we had met before? You remind me of an old friend that I had as a kid."

"No I don't think that we have," Shane said.

Pulling all of his luggage out of the trunk he started to haul all of it inside. Turning around to go get the rest of it, Shane saw that Makoto had grabbed the rest of his bags and was bringing them in.

"Makoto-san you didn't need to do that," Shane began. He did not know how polite he should be with her so he picked the best thing that he could and hoped he did not insult her. "I could've got them easily."

"It was no problem at all. Really!" Makoto said with a smile. Shane had to keep from melting on the spot when she smiled at him. Even though he kept telling himself that he did not come to Tokyo to find a girlfriend, Shane could not help but wonder if she would not mind dating a person from the States. "Please call me Mako-chan, everyone of my friends do."

"Are you sure about that? That would be very impolite," Shane said as he hammered down some less than appropriate thoughts.

"I insist," Makoto said as she smiled at Shane again.

"Ok Mako-chan," Shane said uneasily. He did not like to be so familiar with someone that he barely knew. Plus that smile of hers was enough to make him weak in the knees.

Shane saw that a woman walked around the corner. He could see that she was a tall black haired woman with kind eyes. Something about her demeanor told him that she was a mother herself. And a caring one at that. Shane figured that she would be better off than the one that he left back in Boston.

"Ah you must be Shane," she said with a smile. "Your Mother phoned me as you were getting on the plane to come here."

"Yes I am," Shane said. He was trying to conceal the acid that wanted to creep into his tone when she mentioned his mother. "But I didn't catch your name."

"My name is Ikuko," she said. "But please feel free to call me Mom if you want."

"Thank you Mrs. Tsukino I will keep that in mind. Do you have a spare room where I can put all of my things? Oh and before I forget I have a cat if you don't mind?"

"Yes we have a spare room that you may use," Ikuko said. "Now about your cat, as long as it gets along with Usagi and Chibi-Usa's cat you will be fine."

Looking around Shane saw that Selene was getting along fine with Luna and Diana. Shrugging, Shane started to carry all of his luggage up to his room and get settled in. As soon as he finished unpacking he was tired. Looking at his watch it said that is was 3:00 am, but looking out of his window he saw that is was just starting to get dark out. Finding a clock he saw that it was only 7:00 in the evening. Grumbling something about time zones and the international date line messing up his internal clock, Shane shuffled back to his room, collapsed on his bed and just laid there. A few minutes later he heard a scratching at his door. Pulling himself up off the bed he opened the door and all three cats that were in the house wandered in. Deciding to lay back down on his bed Shane collapsed and did not move.

"Oh man I hate Jet Lag!!" Shane moaned in complaint. He really hated to fly anywhere. It irritated his parents when they wanted to fly out to the west coast to visit their relatives and Shane objected. Or for that matter when they would fly to Texas as well. "Selene remind me to never take another flight anywhere again."

"Meow!" was all Selene said.

The other two cats cautiously approached him and just looked at him. Luna's ears perked up and she ran off. The little grey kitten followed after her a few seconds later. Once again exerting a strength of will Shane got up and closed the door.

"Alright Selene spill it, you have been itching to tell me something since we left the airport," Shane grumbled as he sat up. "And I still don't have any catnip for you."

"Well Shane as we were leaving I noticed that three of the people that we were with matched my memories of Princess Jupiter, Princess Serenity, and Prince Endymion," Selene said as she hopped up in Shane's lap.

"You mean Mako-chan is Princess Jupiter," Shane said in shock as he absently stroked Selene. Now he felt like a total heal since he was thinking rather inappropriate thoughts about her. "It would make sense. I had the same thoughts as well. So who is the little brat that is with them? She reminds me too much of Mandy. Now that is not a bad thing at all."

"I don't know who the child is. It is entirely possible that she may be Queen Serenity's granddaughter. What ever the case may be Shane, Makoto-sama is Princess Jupiter," Selene said. "And it is your sworn duty to protect her. If Zoisite is here then your work will be cut out for you."

"Don't I know it Selene," Shane said as he fell asleep. He needed to sleep off the exhaustion that he felt. This time when he slept he had that same dream, but in this instance he could see that Makoto was prevalent in this dream. Shane found himself outside a house that was out in the country. She was with him, but Shane did not know the reason why. Also this dream was not as tortured as the last one that he had. In fact he actually felt at peace with this dream.

Later that evening Usagi, Makoto, and Chibi-Usa met up with three more of their friends at a temple on the outskirts of town. They had to tell them what they suspected and more importantly they wanted all of them to know about the new person that would be coming to school with them. As soon as everyone arrived they started to talk. Usagi saw that all of her friends were anxious to find out about the news that Usagi said that she had. At the bottom of the steps that lead into the small temple was a girl with short blue-black hair and dark blue eyes. Usagi saw that she was still wearing her school uniform. Usagi knew that this was the top student in Juban High. Sitting to her right was the owner of the shrine. She had long black hair and dark blue eyes as well. She, unlike the other one, was dressed in Shinto Priestess robes. This girl and Usagi were always odds over something. Standing directly behind the priestess was another girl that Usagi knew quite well. She was also dressed in her school uniform. Her bright blue eyes held a mischievous glint that Usagi knew all too well.

"Hey you guys you should check out the new transfer student," Usagi said. She was finding it hard to believe that this new guy was living under the same roof as she was. "He is so cool and cute too."

"What is his name," said the short haired girl.

"Well Ami his name is Shane and he is from America," Usagi said as she started to look like she had just fallen in love.

"Hey Usagi I thought you loved Mamoru," said the priestess.

"I do Rei, but he is so dreamy," Usagi said and continued to dream.

"Hey Makoto did you meet him yet," Ami asked.

"Yeah Mako-chan did you," said the blonde girl behind Rei.

"Yes Minako I did meet him, and yet there is something about him that seems so familiar," Makoto said. To the other girls she seemed distracted. Even Usagi could see that Makoto had her thoughts else where. "I wish that I knew what it was."

"Hey Makoto what do you mean," Rei asked.

"Well it seems like I remember him from when we were all living on the Moon. Plus I got this feeling of that I was on a plane when I knew that I could not have been," Makoto said. "It was the strangest feeling."

A few minutes later Luna and Diana ran in. Diana was out of breath.

"We might a problem," Luna said. "I think that the person that is at Usagi's has some kind of power that even I am not aware of."

"What is it Luna," said a white cat that appeared from what seemed to be thin air. Usagi knew that their two cats had a habit of appearing and disappearing when they wanted to.

"Artemis, tell me do you remember ever knowing of a orange and tan cat that looks like us," Luna said.

"What is the problem then," Minako asked.

"Luna, the only other cat that I remember like that was my sister Selene, but I haven't seen her since we were on the moon," Artemis said.

"I see Artemis. Anyway the problem is that the person that is staying with Usagi is radiating an enormous amount of energy for just being a normal human being. I think that it would be wise to watch him at all costs," Luna said at length. From her tone it sounded like that she was scared about something. Actually it was not fear, more like she was concerned about who this new person was.

Just then Rei perked up and started to look around. Usagi knew that Rei was gifted with some kind of power that she did not understand.

"Guys," Rei said as she started to shake with a mixture of panic and anticipation. "Something is coming, and I don't know exactly what it is."

"Everyone Transform!" Luna and Artemis said at the same time.

All of them nodded and yelled:

"Mercury Crystal Power . . ."

"Mars Crystal Power . . ."

"Jupiter Crystal Power . . ."

"Venus Crystal Power . . ."

Then all of them at the same time said

"Make up!!" At this there was a huge surge of energy and all four girls were transformed in to their costumes which were Girls Sailor suits. Finally Usagi and Chibi-Usa transformed.

"Moon Eternal Make Up!! Moon Crisis Make Up!!" Also in a very big surge of energy Usagi and Chibi-Usa were transformed into their costumes as well.

As soon as everyone transformed they all ran off in the direction that Rei indicated.

At the Tsukino residence, Selene also sensed the same thing that Rei did as well. She then started to wake Shane up. She knew that trying to wake him up was almost impossible. Yet she knew that it had to be done. If this was what she was thinking it was, then Shane's power would be needed. She only hoped that Shane could measure up to the challenges that lay ahead of him. Selene knew that Shane did not have, in her mind, what it took to be his former self. Something about his mannerisms did not lend her any relief that he had retained any of his former life's manners.

"Selene what is it," Shane said half asleep. "I'm still tired. I haven't recovered from my Jet Lag yet."

"It looks like we have company," Selene said. Now she was sure that he did not have any of his former life's manners. "You must Transform and help your Princess. It is your duty to do so."

"When did I ask for this," Shane said grouchily. "If I recall correctly I was just supposed to come here and go to school. Nothing was said about me becoming a hero and saving the world."

"But you must," Selene said as she was growing more agitated than she was before. "You swore an oath to protect her. Are you going to break that vow?"

"I don't remember making any kind of vow," Shane said as he rolled over and tried to go back to sleep.

Sighing, Selene knew that she would have to use more drastic measures to wake him up and convince him to go. Lightly hopping onto his bed, Selene walked over to Shane's arm and started to lick it near his wrist. She was going to wake him up one way or the other. Once she was satisfied with that, Selene opened her mouth and sank her teeth right into his wrist. She was not however, expecting the unassisted flight that she took as Shane flung her onto his desk. Fortunately she, like all cats, could land on their feet. She was thankful for that since it would have meant an ungraceful landing none the less.

"Fine Selene," Shane said as he rubbed his now bleeding wrist. "I'll go. I just seemed to have forgotten how to activate those powers that you gave me."

"Jupiter Planet Power Transform," Selene said in exasperation.

"Right, thanks Selene." Shane said with a annoyed sniff. "JUPITER PLANET POWER TRANSFORM!!!!!!" Shane then yelled and was once again clad in his emerald green armor. Vaulting out the window, Shane ran off into the night toward the area that Selene had told him to go.

"Great, just great with Zoisite here I am not going to have an easy time of helping them," Shane muttered as he ran off to find them. Shane found the same creatures that had besieged the plane that he came over to Japan on. Who he saw fighting them was enough to give him a moment of pause. He saw six young women in short skirts fighting them. Three of them he recognized. They were the ones that had met him at the airport.

'Selene said that two of them were Princess Serenity and Princess Jupiter,' Shane thought as he watched the fight. 'Since I know for a fact that Princess Jupiter was not a blonde that will eliminate 'doughnut hole head.' Now I have to find out who the others are as well. The more that he watched them, Shane began to recognize the others as well. He remembered that Princess Mars' colors were red and crimson red, Princess Venus' colors were orange and blue, and Princess Mercury's colors were two different shades of blue.

He decided to wait and help only if they needed it. In truth he still did not want the power that he had, but for now he would accept it. Though the first and foremost thought in his head was to get some answers as to why he was chosen and not some one else.

Getting back to watching the six people that were fighting, Shane could see that they worked as a well seasoned team. From the way that they all moved, well with the exception of 'doughnut hole head,' Shane could see that all of them had some agility. That much alone gave rise to the opinion that these ladies could handle things by themselves. Shane knew that just in case things got out of hand he would be there to provide support. That was after all, what he was supposed to be in the first place. Well at least that was what he was told that he had to do.

"Venus, Love and Beauty Shock!!" Sailor Venus yelled as a heart shaped beam of energy impacted into the torso of the six armed demon. The attack had no effect on them. Every time before when she used that attack, it would destroy them. It would appear that these new yoma were more powerful than she originally thought.

"Man I can't believe that my attack had no effect on them," Sailor Venus said.

"Let me try," Sailor Mercury said. "Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" As a water bolt impacted into one and had no effect except to make them angrier. All that Venus could do was blink in surprise. This was not looking good for any of them. They needed help. She had to wonder where in the world was Setsuna and the others.

From over in the distance there came a scream. All of the Sailor Senshi looked around and saw that Sailor Jupiter was about to get strangled by one of the six armed demons. Both Mercury and Moon had to wonder how it was that one of those demons could move so quietly. The only one that was closest to her was Venus, but she could not get to Jupiter before she was strangled to death. As Sailor Mars went to free her she saw a flash of green and then a figure appeared in the middle of the lot of them holding an unconscious Sailor Jupiter in one arm and carrying a large sword in the other. This person was wearing what appeared to be a suit of green armor that covered him from head to toe. Around the wrists, of the armor was highlights of yellow. The only visible part of him was his dark blue eyes. Venus thought for a moment that his eyes held something akin to rage in them. Though, at the distance that she was at she could not be for sure.

Venus and the others watch and waited as this armored stranger gently laid Sailor Jupiter against a tree. They had no idea what he was going to do next. I must have surprised them when he started trying to wake her up. He stood in such a way that none of them could even come close to her without coming into contact with this person.

"Come on Princess wake up," He said as he gently patted her cheek to wake her up. He did not want to have to resort to his other idea of waking her up, but he knew that it might work if worse came to worse. "Come on Princess wake up."

Finally some thirty seconds later she did wake up. Sailor Jupiter was scared when she saw an armored figure standing over her. She decided to lash out with a kick to disable him, but was astounded when he nimbly evaded the kick.

"Who are you," Sailor Jupiter asked.

"My name is Halo, my Princess and if I hadn't been here you would have been killed again," Halo said as he offered a hand to help her up. "Now shall we beat these rejects from a bad RPG back?"

"Uh ok," Sailor Jupiter said as she got up. "But how are we going to defeat them? They are unaffected by Sailor Mercury and Sailor Venus' attacks."

"We must double team them," Halo said as he dropped his sword into the ground. He then started to concentrate and formed a huge ball of electrical energy.

"Electro Hurricane!!" Halo then yelled and threw it at two of the demons. As soon as the ball of lightning hit them Sailor Mars powered up for an attack.

"Mars Flame Sniper!" Sailor Mars said and then produced a bow and arrow of pure flame and destroyed the demons.

"Way to go Princess Mars," Halo said as he pulled his Nodachi out of where he put it. "But that was only two of them. We still have five more left."

Between the seven of them they had managed to defeat all of the demons. However, Halo was still a bit agitated. Looking around he sensed the same presence that he felt on the plane. Sailor Jupiter also, for some reason could sense it as well.

"Show yourself Zoisite!" Halo yelled.

"Hold on Halo," Sailor Moon said. She could not understand why this person said that someone that she knew was dead could still be alive. It did not make much sense to her. "Zoisite is dead."

"I don't know what rock that you crawled out of but I saw Zoisite earlier and I know that he is alive," Halo snapped.

"That is right Sailor Brats I am very much alive," said a voice that all of the Sailor Senshi and Halo recognized. Then in a flurry of lotus petals a man appeared.

"So Zoisite you would have to show your face here," Halo snarled. "Why don't you go back to your lover. Maybe he can satisfy you."

"Such crass words from a mere child," Zoisite said, not even once rising to the obvious challenge that Halo threw at him.

"At least I know what gender I am," Halo shot back. "You can't seem to make up your mind."

"What do you want," Jupiter said as she strode forward. She was in a mood to shove a few well placed lightning bolts in a very painful place.

"That would be telling," Zoisite taunted. "And I wanted all of you to be the first to know that I am back."

"I will not let the death of my Princess go unavenged. I will make sure you suffer a thousand deaths for that," Halo seethed with anger.

"Come on and try it," Zoisite said.

"Fine then I will," Halo said as he started to advance. He was about to attack but was stopped by a single red rose. Looking up at the tree he saw a man in a tuxedo, cape, top hat and mask. Zoisite snarled and left in another flurry of lotus petals.

"Tuxedo Kamen," Sailor Moon said excitedly.

"Are you all alright," Tuxedo Kamen asked.

"We all are now if Halo hadn't stopped that thing from crushing Sailor Jupiter," Sailor Mercury said.

"Where is this Halo person anyway," Tuxedo Kamen asked. As he turned around he saw that Halo was kneeling in front of Sailor Jupiter. "What is with him?"

"Well he has addressed Sailor Jupiter as Princess on several occasions and he has already addressed Sailor Mars as Princess as well," Sailor Venus said.

Walking over to him Sailor Moon tapped Halo on the shoulder. She wanted to get his attention. Also she wanted to get some answers to her questions that she had about him.

"Halo, would you mind explaining yourself to us," Sailor Moon asked.

"Of course I will explain myself to you since you did ask," Halo said. "But I will not explain here in such a public place."

"This is the only place that I will talk!!" Sailor Moon said emphatically.

"Alright I will talk here," Halo said. As he looked up he finally got a good look at the face of Sailor Moon. It was like he was seeing a face that he had not seen for quite a long time.

"Princess Serenity," Halo said as he dropped to one knee in respect. "It is an honor to finally see you again after so long. I fear that I have failed you. And especially Princess Jupiter."

"How did you know that I am Princess Serenity," Moon asked. She was surprised to say the least that this stranger knew that she was a Princess.

"Regardless of the disguise, I know that it is you," Halo said. "I only wish that I could have been here sooner. Other wise I would not have failed you in my duties."

"Failed me? How could you have failed me," Princesses Serenity said. "I don't even remember you. It would be impossible for me to remember your reasons for failure."

"My Princess I am Halo, Leader of the Guardian Senshi and Sworn Defender of Princess Jupiter and Neo-Princess Serenity, your daughter," Halo said while still looking at the ground. "Your Mother Queen Serenity was the one that brought the Guardians together. Do you remember now?"

"Yes, I do remember something about that," Princess Serenity said as she looked at Halo. It felt like a part of her memory had been unlocked once he said who had created the group. "Rise my friend. You did not fail me or my mother. You must realize that there was nothing that anyone could have done."

"But I have failed Princess Jupiter," Halo said as he looked away from Sailor Jupiter. Usagi was not stupid to see that Halo was beating himself up for something that he could not have prevented. "I only wish that there was some way that I could make it up to her."

"Halo, my forever diligent Guardian," Sailor Jupiter said as she laid a hand on his shoulder. The smile that she gave him was enough to make his heart melt. "You did not fail me. You did your best and that was all anyone could have asked for."

"Are you sure," Halo asked. The look on his face mirrored what was in his heart.

"Yes we are sure," Princess Serenity said. "To ask of you more would be a feat that even I could not do."

"I must be going now," Halo said. And as he walked off he stopped in front of Sailor Jupiter and kissed her very gently on the cheek and then left.

"We also should leave," Sailor Moon said when she was back to normal.

With that they all left and disappeared into the night.

The next morning, Ikuko heard the sounds of two alarms going off and then fall silent. She figured that Shane would still be a bit worn out from his plane trip. Ikuko was going to let him sleep at least ten more minutes so he could get used to the time change. After twenty minutes she could hear the sounds of two pairs of feet thundering down the hall and down the stairs. She was in shock to see that Shane was also running late as well as Usagi. Though she could understand why he was running late. Usagi on the other hand had no excuse for being as late as she was. Ikuko had to remember to ask his mother if he was always like that in the mornings.

"Aw man that is the last time I stay up late again," Shane growled as he grabbed some breakfast and headed out the door. "Thanks Ikuko-sama," Shane then said as he ran out. "Come on Usagi we are late as it is already. Man the first day of classes at a new school and already I might get detention. Not cool!!"

"Wait up Shane!" Usagi yelled as she caught up with him. "Do you even know where you are going?"

"Uh no!" Shane said as he stopped in his tracks. "So where do we go again?"

"Follow me," Usagi said and then grabbed Shane by the wrist and dragged him off in the direction of the school.

As luck would have it he had to stand out in the hall with Usagi for being late. In Shane's mind, it was the strangest punishment that he had ever had for being late to school. However, Shane knew that he was in Japan and they did things differently. On top of which he had to hold two buckets full of water as well. Another bit of oddity that he was not used to in Japan. Shane figured that he would conform to the ways that Japanese High schools did things. Fortunately Shane did not get a detention.

It still bugged him the way that the students laughed at him for trying to change classes with the teachers. Fortunately, Usagi was nice enough to explain things to him. At lunch Shane and Usagi had forgotten their lunches, but Makoto was nice enough to share with the both of them. As Shane fumbled with his chopsticks, he noticed that Makoto just looked at him and smiled warmly. Noticing this, Shane felt like he was on exhibit and stopped. He really did not care to have that kind of feeling at all. It was quite embarrassing to have so many cute girls starting at him like he was an idiot. Before he could attempt to try to use them again, Shane saw that two more girls came over to join them. One was a blond wearing a red ribbon in her hair and the other girl had short blue-black hair.

'Another girl with rainbow colored hair,' Shane thought with a sigh. 'Though the one with the blueish hair has to be Princess Mercury. Right now it is the only thing that makes sense. I think that the other one must be Princess Venus.'

"Hey Usagi-chan!" The blonde said. "Is this the new student that you were talking about last night?"

"Yeah it is," Usagi said. "This is Shane. Shane meet Ami and Minako."

"Greetings and Salutations, Ami-sama, Minako-sama," Shane said with a little half bow. He thought that he could hear them start to giggle a bit when he addressed them so formally. He had read in a book when he got back to the Tsukino's that the 'sama' honorific was an extremely polite form that was usually reserved for the likes of Princesses and people or things that deserved that much of respect. Looking at the two newcomers, Shane thought that they looked like two of the Princesses that were closest to Princess Serenity. Though he could not really be sure with out asking them. He was of the opinion that if they were, then they did not remember their other life like he did. "It is nice to make your acquaintance."

"Nice to meet you too," Minako said.

"So Shane when did you get here," Ami asked.

"I came in yesterday evening," Shane said.

"No jet lag," Minako asked. "It is after all a long flight."

"That was last night after I got to Usagi's," Shane said. "I slept it off after dinner last night."

"That is amazing," Ami said. "I would expect that you would be worse off."

"Well," was all that Shane said with a shrug. "Mako-chan, thanks for the very delicious meal."

"Hey it was nothing," Makoto said. "I always make a little extra, so I usually share with Usagi when she forgets her lunch."

'Yes like this morning,' Shane thought tersely.

"Still Mako-chan I really appreciated that," Shane said as he got up. "So what classes do you all have next?"

"Well we all have English with Tomizawa-sensei as soon as we finish lunch," Ami said evenly.

"You mean we don't have individual classes here," Shane asked.

"Where did you go to highschool," Minako asked him.

"America," Shane said. "We change classes in our high-schools."

"Well we don't do that here," Makoto said warmly. "The only classes that we have to leave our Home Room for is Home-Ec, Shop Class, if anyone takes that, and Phys-Ed."

"I see," Shane said in resignation. "Well I guess as they say 'When in Rome!'"

"Oh do as the Gauth's then," Minako asked.

"That's 'do as the Romans' Minako-sama," Shane said with a sigh.

"Right! Exactly what I said," Minako said proudly.

"Air head," Shane grumbled under his breath

After classes were over for the day Shane, Usagi, Makoto, Minako, and Ami all walked home together. Makoto was constantly looking at Shane and smiling. In a sense it was almost like she knew more about him that she was letting on. Shane on the other hand was mentally going over in his head about how long it would take him to do his homework. He was cut off in mid thought when Chibi-Usa showed up and started to walk with them. It took a great strength of will for Shane to not punt her into orbit or do other things to her to make her go away. Something about her reminded him too much of his little sister Mandy. What it was he did not know, but he was going to find out soon. At times he thought that she was staring at him like she recognized him. Going back to his thought track he decided that it would take him about three and one half hours to do all of his homework then to catch up on his sleep.

When he and Usagi got home he immediately wandered up to his room and locked the door. He wanted to have some quiet to study in. Then again he usually studied to music. Somehow it allowed him to focus his mind on what he was learning. Shane hoped that his attitude did not make Usagi worry about him. Then again why would she worry about him? Whether or not she did, was of no concern to him, he just wanted this term of exile to end so he could go home to something that familiar to him.

Ikuko saw that Shane had walked right past her and did not say anything at all. She was worried that something had happened to him at school.

"Usagi, did something happen to Shane," Ikuko asked her daughter.

"Not that I know of," Usagi said. "He had a few mistakes in adjusting to the way that we do things here."

"Mistakes," Ikuko asked. "What kind of mistakes?"

"He just tried to change classes with the teachers, that's all," Usagi said with a shrug. "Mom, is it true that they change classes in America?"

"Yes it is," Ikuko said. "It is going to take him time to adjust to the living here. Usagi, I want you to help him fit in here. It seems that he needs a friend to help him out."

"Ok Mom," Usagi said. "I'll do my best."

Ikuko watched as her oldest daughter take the stairs two at a time as she went to her bedroom. Something about Usagi's gentle nature could have a healing effect on anyone that she came in contact with. Perhaps that was the reason why she made friends so easily. Ikuko still could not get over some of the choices that Usagi's friends made. Those two girls that were in their final year of school were a source of her most disturbing thoughts to date. She had only been told their given names. They were Haruka and Michiru. As to who their families were she had no idea, but she believed that they would not approve of how they were behaving.

Turning her attention to her other house guest, Ikuko wanted to find out what had upset Shane. She had no idea what had happened to Shane while he was at school. She walked up to Shane's room and knocked on the door. She wanted to find out what was going on. She had an obligation to Shane's mother to make sure that he got an education and did not get into any fights. Then again how would she make sure that he did not get into fights? She could not be with him every minutes of every day. Maybe she would exact a promise from him.

"Hold on a minute," Shane said from the other side of the door. When Shane opened the door and looked at Ikuko his expression was that of disgust.

"Did something happen at school today?" Ikuko asked.

"No Mrs. Tsukino nothing happened at school," Shane said as he scratched at the back of his head. "I was just working on homework, and I wanted some privacy."

"I see," Ikuko said breathing a sigh of relief. "You know Usagi could take some lessons from you on good study habits."

"Maybe," Shane said with a resigned sigh. "Though I doubt that it will do any good."

"Well I will let you get back to studying," Ikuko said as she left.

Three hours later, Shane got some notion to talk to Usagi. Walking down the hall to her room, Shane wanted to tell Usagi about what was going on. He knew what he had to tell her and it was not going to be easy. Then again would she really believe him when he told her his rather outlandish story. Well he knew that Selene had not lied to him so far and well he thought that he could trust her. Though it was funny Shane had to admit, trusting a talking cat. The very thought of a talking cat would make anyone laugh at that. He had to wonder just how many like Selene there were in the world. Stopping in front of her door and knocking, Shane formulated a plan on how he would talk to Usagi. When she answered the door, Shane noticed that Usagi was not studying at all. She was reading what looked like a Japanese version of BOP or 'Teen. Growling some choice obscenity in English, Shane walked in to her room.

"Shane what can I do for you," Usagi asked as she put the magazine down.

"Usagi-sama, I was wondering if I can talk to you," Shane said nervously.

"Sure come on in," Usagi said.

As soon as Shane came in the room, he saw that Usagi's cat Luna was asleep on her bed in a way that was typical for a cat to sleep. Shane could see that Luna was sleeping on her back with all of her legs sprawled every direction. Shane just smiled since he knew that even Selene would do that as well. Even his parent's Pomeranian would try to act cute as well. He hated that dog so much.

'The two things that my parents loved the most was that damn dog and Mandy,' Shane thought with a derisive snort. 'The spend more money of the two of them than they did on the things that I needed for school. Never mind the fact that I bought them that cotton ball on four legs as a Christmas gift last year.'

"Usagi-sama, there is something that I have to tell you," Shane began. His mind was running in circles as to how best to tell her what he was feeling. "But I don't want to tell you here I. . ."

Almost as if he could feel it Shane got this tingling sensation that started in the tips of his toes and ran up his spine. When it got to his neck the tingling sensation became a pressure that made his neck hurt. Also this strange feeling made his stomach start to roll. He almost wanted to puke up his dinner, it hurt him so bad.

"No, not again," Shane said. Trying to shake the pain off as he ran out of Usagi's room, Shane knew what was going on and he did not want to think about it since it would mean having to explain to Usagi who he really was.

"What is it," Usagi asked as she followed Shane out of the house. Unfortunately she was unable to keep up.

As she stopped to catch her breath, Usagi saw that Shane's cat also ran off in the same direction that Shane ran off in. Luna was not far behind.

"Usagi the Dark Kingdom is after Sailor Jupiter. Transform and help her," Luna said.

"Ok Luna," Usagi said. "Moon Eternal Make up!" She then yelled.

"Brilliant way to keep a secret identity," Luna sighed in exasperation.

As soon as Usagi transformed into Eternal Sailor Moon she was off again to try to catch up with Shane.

To say that Makoto was not having a very good day would be an understatement. A terrible day would a more appropriate description of how the day was turning out. It turned out that while she was walking home from the store, arms loaded with groceries, she was attacked by several of the six armed demons that they had dealt with the day before yesterday. This time they were not out to cause their usual problems, they were here to specifically capture or severely injure her. It was not enough to be attacked while she was with the other Senshi, but to be attacked on her own was just too much.

"Fine if that is how you want to play it. It is fine by me," Makoto said as she dropped her bags. She was thankful that she did not have any glass jars in the sacks or it would be a pain for her later. "Jupiter Crystal Power Make up!!!" Makoto then yelled and was transformed into Sailor Jupiter.

As soon as she transformed the demons started to attack her furiously. Makoto was having very serious problems with each of them. All of her attacks were either absorbed and turned against her or did not affect them in the slightest. However, as it was about to close in for the kill he was stopped.

"I will not allow you to harm Princess Jupiter," A voice echoed down an alley. That voice was enough to get Jupiter to look toward the speaker. It was Shane. What in the world was he doing? Did he want to get himself killed? She knew that there were other ways to accomplish that task. Most were less painful than being killed by one of these yoma.

"Who the hell are you," The demons asked.

'I will say it this time.' "Name's Ashe, House wares," Shane said.

The demons face faulted and looked as if they had just swallowed a very large rock.

"What would a pitiful boy like you do against us," The demons asked.

"A lot more than you would imagine," Shane snarled. "I will say it again, I will not allow you to harm Princess Jupiter. LET HER GO NOW!"

'How does Shane know that I am a Princess,' Jupiter thought. 'Surely he could only be guessing about it? Wait a minute, I have seen the way he is looking at them before. It's not possible! Could he be the person from last night?'

"Leave here," Jupiter said to him. She was more concerned for his life that she was about hers at the moment. "You can't do anything to them. Don't worry about it. And don't worry about me."

"I can't do that," Shane said as he slowly shook his head, every word that he spoke was dripping with determination.

"Hold it right there!" Shane then heard a voice say.

Looking around Shane saw the form of Sailor Moon standing on a tree branch.

"I can't allow you to hurt one of my friends," Sailor Moon began. "I am an agent of love and Justice. I am the Pretty Sailor suited soldier Sailor Moon. On behalf of the Moon I will punish you."

'Pretty Sailor Suited Soldier,' Shane thought in disgust. He was tempted to hit his head repeatedly on the side of the building since what she said was the stupidest thing he had ever heard. It was then that Shane recognized Sailor Moon for who she really was. It was Usagi. He had no idea that she was Sailor Moon. Which meant that if that was really Usagi then he actually recognized the others as well. 'Usagi you need to think of something different.'

"Ha, ha! Very funny Sailor Moon, but what would you say if I told you that if you so much as even twitch I will kill both the girl and this kid that happened to wander upon us here," One of the demons said as it grabbed Sailor Jupiter in two arms and grabbed Shane in it's tail.

"This is not good," Shane said as he saw that Sailor Jupiter was in bad shape. "I can't transform because I can't get my arms free."

"Fire Soul!!!" came a very distinct voice.

Looking up Shane saw that Sailor Mars and the rest of the Sailor Scouts had also arrived.

"Venus, Love me chain!!!" Yelled Sailor Venus as between the two of them the managed to free both Sailor Jupiter and Shane.

"Now it is pay back time," Shane said with anger rippling through his voice. He had never felt this kind of rage before, but when he saw that his Princess was hurt, something in him snapped and he had to act. He did not really care if they found out who he was. As far as he was concerned Princess Jupiter was his only concern. The rest of the Senshi could die for all that he cared. "Jupiter Planet Power Transform!!"

When the light cleared all of the Sailor Senshi were looking at Halo.

"I will not forgive you for hurting Princess Jupiter," Halo snarled as he advanced on the demon. The demon could see that green lightning was starting to arc off of his armor and down to his hands. It wanted to run, but it was rooted in place by fear.

The other Senshi started to back away. None of them really remembered how powerful Halo was and they were afraid that he would turn on them next.

"ELECTRO HURRICANE!!" Halo yelled as a wave of electricity slammed into it and severely hurt it.

"Sailor Moon, now finish it off." Halo said as he rushed to Sailor Jupiter's side.

"Right. Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!!" Sailor Moon then yelled. A beam of energy shot out of her staff and totally vaporized the demon.

All of the other Senshi then ran over to see if Jupiter was alright. When the got closer they saw that Halo had placed himself between Sailor Jupiter and the other Senshi. Most of them wanted to know who this person was. Who in their right mind would want to come between them? Mercury still could not figure it out and she was supposed to be smart one among them. It still bothered them that someone that they did not even know would place themselves between them and a friend.

"Hey let us try to help her," Sailor Venus said as she laid a hand on Halo's shoulder. She immediately pulled it back after being shocked by the left over static electricity that was present in his armor.

"Princess Venus, I really appreciate you wanting to help her, but I wasn't able to help her when I was needed," Halo said nearly crying. "But the least that I can do is heal her of her injuries."

"You can heal as well," Sailor Mars asked. "I had no idea that you were capable of such feats."

"Of course I can heal," Halo snapped. He really did not mean to snap at her, but his emotions were in a bit of a mess at the moment. "Now let me do what I must to help her."

"What is it with you," Sailor Mars said in response to Halo's snapping at her. She could not believe that this person would be so rude to her. Though part of her could tell that he really did not want to snap at her. Maybe she would apologize for that biting comment that she made to him.

"I will tell you after I heal my Princess here," Halo growled. "Guardian healing activation," Halo then said quietly.

The other Senshi watched as Halo's hands started to glow with a soft green-white light. The glow then formed into a small ball of energy. Once it did that, the ball then disappeared into Sailor Jupiter. The others watched as the green-white energy bathed their friend in its glow. In doing that, all of Jupiter's injuries were healed. The energy also allowed her to regain consciousness as well.

"Wha- what happened," Sailor Jupiter asked groggily.

"The demons that attacked you hurt you badly," Halo said as he tried to smile at her. "I healed you my Princess. It was the least that I could do for you."

Sailor Jupiter looked at Halo and smiled at him fondly. "Thank you my Guardian."

"Incredible," Mercury said in awe. "To think that someone like you actually exists at all is amazing."

"I think that it is time for some explanations to you all," said another voice that the Senshi recognized, but Halo could not place. The voice belonged to a woman with very long dark green hair. Her eyes were the darkest lavender that Halo had ever seen. The outfit that she was wearing was in a similar style to that of the other Senshi. Halo noticed that the bow on the front and back was a very dark purple, almost black. The skirt was also of the same shade of purple. She was wearing knee length boots. What stood out on her the most was the fact that she carried a staff that looked like a very large key.

"Sailor Pluto," The other Senshi chorused.

Finally the name clicked into place in Halo's mind. This was Sailor Pluto the Protector of the Time gate and Princess of the Planet Pluto. She was also his teacher for two years as he was be trained as a Guardian. This was the one person in all of the Silver Millennium that he looked up to.

"Greetings and Salutations Princess Pluto," Halo said in the greeting that was customary for the Guardians to greet the Princesses. "It has been along time my teacher."

"I am pleased that you remember me after all of this time," Sailor Pluto said nodding to Halo. "Princess, I believe that it is time to tell you all about the Guardian Senshi and why they were formed.

"Please do Pluto," Sailor Moon said. "But not here. How about at our meeting spot?"

"That would be excellent," Pluto said.

Sailor Mercury then helped Sailor Jupiter to her feet and they all headed off to Sailor Mars' place to talk.

Halo was walking behind them all going over all that had been going on in the past three days. His whole life had taken an interesting turn when he saved Selene from the animal shelter. From then on it was as if she knew when he was upset and did her best to comfort him. Selene was his best friend all through Junior High School and through his first few attempts at going to High School. Now he found out that he was a Guardian of a Princess. Quite by accident too. Even now he really did not want all of the power and the responsibility that went with the position that he now had. There were other faces that were hidden by shadows that he just could not make out.

Somewhere in the middle of his thinking, Selene jumped on to his shoulder and just sat there as he walked along. It was not very long until Halo noticed that Selene was on his shoulder. Gently lifting Selene off of his shoulder, Halo set the cat in the crook of his arm and carried her that way. Deciding to release his sword, the sword disappeared into hyper space and then he was able to carry Selene a lot easier.

When they finally got to the temple they all powered down with the exception of Sailor Pluto. It was a few seconds later that Tuxedo Kamen showed up and then realizing that he was just a little too late powered down him self. The only one that had not powered down was Halo. All of the Senshi were waiting in anticipation to see exactly who Halo really was. Selene, taking the clue jumped down out of his arms and walked over by the girls and laid down. As soon as Halo powered down all of the Senshi including Tuxedo Kamen saw for the first time the person behind the armor. Standing before them was Shane. All of the girls were shocked to see that the person that had been helping them was none other than the new student at school.

'I was right,' Makoto thought. 'Shane really is Halo. How could I have been so blind to think other wise?'

"What in the world is going on here," Rei yelled.

"Rei, shut yer hole for about two seconds and I will explain as best as I can," Shane said. He did not like the way that Rei was treating him.

"You mean all of this time you have been right under our noses and you didn't say a word," Minako said half stuttering.

"Yes Minako I have and I will try to explain it as best as I can," Shane said evenly.

"Please do," Ami said.

"Well during the Silver Millennium, Her Majesty Queen Serenity decided to create a group of individuals that would in a sense be the Senshi's counterparts. Also they were also to be their Bodyguards as well. To what end Her Majesty had in mind for us, will forever remain lost. I do know from what Selene has told me that we were to be as powerful as those that we were charged to protect. For some reason that I still don't remember she chose only certain people from each planet. I was chosen to be Princess Jupiter's Guardian. I vaguely remember that there were eight other guardians as well," Shane said at length.

"What were their names," Usagi asked.

"I can't seem to recall them," Shane said as he scratched his head. "All of my memories from that time hasn't been totally integrated yet."

"There names were Stratta, Inferno, WildFire, Torrent, HardRock, Thanos, Trition, and Chrono," Sailor Pluto said. "Each of them were guardians as well. Minako, Stratta was your Guardian. Ami, Torrent was your Guardian. Rei, you had two Guardians, Inferno and WildFire. Haruka's Guardian was HardRock. Michiru's was her younger brother Trition. Hotaru's was Thanos. Finally mine her name was Chrono. She was my older cousin. She and I were very close."

With this Shane was able to recall everything about the Guardians in very clear detail. He figured that it took Pluto to jog his memory about them before he could remember them

"Pluto-sensei, I have a question for you," Shane began.

"What is it Shane," Pluto asked.

"What happened to the Guardians that were with you and the others? I mean the guardians that were with Princesses Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and for that matter yours?"

"I don't know," Pluto said obviously lying.

The other Senshi looked at Pluto with looks of shock on their faces. It seemed that she knew more than she was letting on to.

"There is more that you should know about us," Shane started. "Aside from our powers coming from our individual planets we also draw our power from certain aspects of the human spirit. Mine is Wisdom. Stratta's was Life. Torrent's was Trust. Inferno and WildFire's was perfect Virtue. HardRock's was Justice. Thanos' was Serenity of spirit. Trition's was Loyalty. Chrono's was Honor. It was on these eight points that the Guardian Senshi were formed. And it was on these eight points that all of the Guardians based their lives. It was our code of conduct that we never really broke at all. It could have some dire consequences if we did not follow that code."

"What kind of consequences," Makoto asked. She had been too quiet, mostly because she was trying to sort out several conflicting emotions that were bouncing around in her head.

"Well for example we could have our powers stripped from us," Shane said. "That was the most dire thing that could happen. And that could happen only if be broke an oath sworn on the points of our code."

"Sounds awful," Minako said.

"Was that what you wanted to tell me," Usagi asked.

"Yes it was," Shane said. "But still I feel as if I have failed all of you."

"How have you failed us," Makoto asked.

"I was unable to help you with those demons and because of that you were injured," Shane said as he bowed his head in shame.

"We can take care of ourselves," Rei said heatedly. "When will you realize that you are not needed?"

"And it is that kind of attitude that will eventually get you killed," Shane snapped back, his eyes filled with rage. He could see that the others recoiled in shock when they saw the look of rage on Shane's face. "What you don't seem to realize is that until all of the other Guardian Senshi appear I will be fighting along side all of you. And yes Pluto-sensei that means your group as well."

"Fair enough," Pluto said. "I never really had a problem with you in the first place. In fact you were my best student."

"But we are able to take care of ourselves," Rei snapped at Shane.

"Princess Mars, Halo both of you cool it," Selene said finally hearing enough of the arguing. "You two must learn to get along. With Zoisite alive we can't have a rift forming between the Guardians and the Princesses. Plus who's to say that the other Dark Kings aren't here as well."

"Selene it isn't going to get any easier," Shane replied as he sat down. "Besides I haven't heard word one from you in regards as to how Zoisite was brought back to life? That little so and so will not get away that easily!"

"Well I have been trying to figure that out plus I had to wake you back up as well," Selene said.

"Don't you start on that line Selene," Shane growled. "First Rei is yelling at me and now you. I just wish that I was never woken back up. I mean all I wanted to be was just plain old normal Shane going to school in Japan and that was it. Now I find out that I am a reincarnation of a person from the Silver Millennium? This is just too much for even me. YOU ARE ALL INSANE!!!!"

And with that Shane ran out of the shrine in a flurry of emotions.

"Rei you didn't need to say that to him," Minako said giving Rei a cold stare. "That was uncalled for."

"Well he was trying treat us like fine China," Rei said. "We aren't that delicate at all. Shane should realize that."

"Don't you think he knows that and is trying to not have a repeat of what happened to you all ten thousand years ago," Pluto said.

"What do you mean Pluto," Mamoru asked.

"Well when all of you were killed by Beryl and Metallia, Halo blamed himself for all of your deaths," Pluto said. "I watched him as he held you, Jupiter and cried. He felt as if his heart was ripped out of him. It pained me to watch him like that."

"I meant that much to him," Makoto asked Pluto in shock.

"You meant everything to him," Pluto said as she nodded once. "His expectations rose and fell in your approval of him. At the time his only reason for enduring the abuse that you put him through was because he loved you so much. Makoto you and the other Princesses that are closest to Usagi have a special gift that will allow you to sense your Guardian Senshi's feelings. Also some of you were in love with your Guardian if I remember correctly."

"But surely he should know that it wasn't his fault," Usagi said. "It couldn't have been helped. Beryl attacked with out warning. None of us were ready for that type of onslaught."

"Yeah I wish I could tell him myself," Makoto said.

"What is stopping you from telling him," Ami asked. "Go to him!"

"Well nothing. Rei you should apologize to him when we get back," Makoto said as she ran down the stairs to find Shane.

All Rei did was snort her contempt. She did not like the fact that Makoto did not like the way that she had treated this person. This person that they had just found out that was one of them was still, for all intents and purposes, an outsider. Not to mention he was trying to treat them like they were delicate pieces of China. They were anything but that at all.

"Selene what do you know about the Guardians," Usagi then asked.

"All I know is that when all of the Guardians are found all of their powers will be finally unlocked. That is as about as much as I know I am sorry," Selene said apologetically.

"Hey, we weren't expecting you to know everything," Ami said with a smile as she picked up Selene and scratched her behind the ears.

"Thank you Ami-sama," Selene said with a cat-style smile. She liked the attention so much she actually started to purr.

Shane ran off to the park to sit and think. What bothered him was the way that Rei would treat him when he had only met her for the first time. What was her problem with him? It was like she had found him under a slimy rock and did not like what she found. He did not deserve the treatment that he was getting from her. Ami was nice enough, Shane thought as he stretched back against the tree that he was sitting under. Though he could tell that she was a girl that did not get out much. He had seen that in two girls that he knew back in Boston.

'Melanie Switzer was the same way,' Shane thought with a bit of a smile creasing his face. 'So was her sister Jackie. They would always stay at home and try to get ahead of every one in our class. I think that Melanie was about a semester ahead of everyone. I have to wonder if she had a perfect GPA or not.'

Minako was a person that Shane knew had the potential for some actual smarts, although he knew that she would never apply herself toward them.

When his thoughts drifted to Makoto, Shane's mind would not leave the picture that he had burned into his mind of her smiling face when he first saw her. Something about being around her made him feel better. How she did that he did not know, but he did not mind the sensation at all.

Then he got to his current situation that he was faced with. On that subject, his mind was a rush of thoughts and emotions that he did not even recall having. This was a feeling that he did not care to have. All that he wanted to be was just a normal person going to school in Tokyo. It bothered him that he was now a person that was responsible for the well being of a girl that he barely knew except for about three or so days. Why did he have to be this great person? That much he did not know. All that he knew now was the fact that he was this person. For that matter he really did not want the job to begin with. It was too much for him.

"But you have it and I am grateful of you being here for me," A voice said from behind him.

Turning around, Shane saw that the voice belonged to Makoto. Smiling warmly, Shane motioned for her to sit down next to him. He did not know really what it was that she wanted him to say. All that he could do was try to come up with something that would at least sound some what intelligent. There was a long silence before Shane finally spoke. He know that what he said next could easily destroy any hopes of forgiveness that he could even try to get from her.

Then again Makoto could also be thinking the same way and was trying to find a way to help Shane regain favor in her eyes. Well Shane could hope!

"Mako-chan, these last few days I have felt like I am walking in some kind of a dream," Shane said. He felt like he had just blurted it out and did not even think about what he had just said.

"What do you mean," Makoto asked him.

"Ever since before I got here I kept seeing your face in my dreams and I didn't know why," Shane said. "I didn't like some of the dreams that I had, but in this case I don't mind them now."

"Shane, you are really not making any sense at all," Makoto said.

"There is a part of me that woke up over two years ago that I had not been able to understand," Shane said slowly. He did not know if he should be telling her about it, but he figured that it was worth a shot. Maybe by telling her he would be able to finally understand what it was that he was going through. "When that part woke up I started to have those dreams. Dreams about you except I don't really think that it was you. I know that I am not making sense, but in a way it does make sense."

"Don't try to say any more about it. There is nothing more that needs to be said," Makoto said as she smiled at him. Her smile alone nearly made Shane melt. "But there is something that I need to talk to you about."

"What is it," Shane asked as he tried to keep his faculties about him. Something about the way that she would smile at him made his knees weak. Shane had to his best to hammer down a thought to up and kiss her right there. That smile of hers had once again worked its spell on him.

"It's about what happened back in out past," Makoto said. "I think that you should know that what happened then was not your fault."

"You don't understand," Shane said as he grasped handfuls of grass. That was what he was afraid that she would mention to him. He wanted to turn away from her and drop the subject, but a part of him did not want to have her upset at him. "It was my fault that it happened. I should have been a better Guardian than I was. I allowed you to get killed. My inexperience caused you to die. Maybe I should have listened to Mother and went to the conservatory. I failed you."

"No you didn't," Makoto said as she tried to reassure him. "You did what you had to. Even today you did what you thought was best for us all."

"Mako-chan, after what happened today I really don't know if I really should remain as your Guardian," Shane said as he fiddled with the bracelet that he wore. "I can't even fulfill the most basic of duties to you."

"Shane, regardless of what Rei said, I still want you to be there for me," Makoto said as she laid a hand on his, stopping any protests before he made them. "But Rei does have a point. We can take care of ourselves. Before you say anything else listen to me. I realize that you think that we should be protected and that was what you were supposed to do back then. I understand that. But realize that we are Senshi as well and we are not helpless. However, that doesn't mean that we can't use some back up."

"But Makoto-sama I fear that I have failed you. I really don't deserve to be your Guardian," Shane said, his voice wracked with guilt. "Besides who is to say that I won't fail again?"

"You can't see the future," Makoto said taking his hands in hers. "Besides we need you. Usagi is very glad to have you back and I kinda think that Mamoru is glad as well."

"But what about what happened back in the Silver Millennium," Shane asked. "I was not with you and you died. I could not protect you like I was supposed to."

"It couldn't have been helped," Makoto said. "But I have a question for you."

"What is it Mako-chan," Shane asked.

"Why do I seem to have a link with you," Makoto asked.

"Well Mako-chan from what I understand the link is called a "Soul Bond," Princess Serenity's mother had all of the Guardians of the Princesses that were supposed to protect Princess Serenity, meaning Stratta, Torrent, WildFire, Inferno and myself. We were asked to participate in the ritual that would forever allow us to fulfill our duties as Guardians. Mako-chan what she didn't realize was that there were some of us that had fallen in love with our respective Princesses. Stratta was in love with Princess Venus, Inferno and WildFire both were in love with Princess Mars. But they decided among themselves that Inferno would be better suited for her."

"What about you and Torrent," Makoto asked.

"Well Torrent wouldn't know love if it hit him," Shane said. "And me well I had fallen for you since the first time that I met you. That was a long time ago. However, I knew that I was not worthy to love you. You were a Princess and I was just a commoner. I could never really have your love at all. It would have caused too many problems."

"That shouldn't have made any difference when you became a Guardian," Makoto said. "Besides Queen Serenity knew. She did not mind that you were in love with me then. She was waiting for you to say something to her and she would have helped you out. I am sure of that. In fact I know that she would have helped. I too had fallen for you back then. But Mother and Father forbid me to do anything about it."

"Mako-chan even then I could not try to love you," Shane said. "I was so set in my role as Guardian I knew that if I were to admit my feelings to you then it would cloud my judgement. I couldn't let that happen. Your safety came first and I could not allow myself to get distracted by my heart."

"What about now," Makoto asked. "Are you still going to stay devoted to you position as Guardian or are you going to finally admit your feelings for me?"

"You realize that if I do admit my feelings for you, it will make my job all that harder," Shane asked.

"I know and to be quite frank I don't care," Makoto said. "Now confess. How do you really feel about me?"

"Ok Mako-chan you want me to tell you the truth then that is what I will say," Shane said with a sigh. He had rehearsed this scene in his mind since he first met her all those years back on Jupiter. He was eleven when he first met her. He knew all too well that it was inappropriate for him to love her and he buried his feelings so deep that the other girls on Jupiter and in the capital city of Juno would shy away from him. "Mako-chan I have, for the past ten thousand years been madly in love with you. I could not even think of anyone else but you no matter what I tried. I was hoping that we now could actually have a relationship?"

"You don't know how happy you have made me," Makoto said with tears of joy streaming down her cheeks. "I am glad that you asked," Makoto then said as she hugged him tightly.

"Let's go back to the others," Shane said as he got up helping Makoto up as well.

"Yes let's" Makoto said as she slipped her hand into his and started to walk off with him back to Rei's temple.

When Shane and Makoto arrived back at the temple, they saw that the other girls were talking about something. Shane walked up behind them quietly and listened to all of them talk.

"What are we going to do," Minako asked. "I mean there are other Senshi that we didn't even know about. Well at least we don't have all of our baskets in one chicken."

"That's All of our eggs in one basket," Artemis said with a heavy sigh.

"Exactly," Minako said.

Shane saw that Artemis just sighed in resignation over what Minako had just said. He had to wonder if Minako actually had any sense to her at all.

"Well Minako I did some digging with my computer and it shows that there were other Senshi as Shane said there was," Ami said. "I did find out other things about them."

"Such as," Rei asked.

"Well such as Rei your two guardians were twin brothers. Mine was the adopted son of Queen Serenity. Minako's was supposed to be her husband when they were able to be married. Mako-chan's Guardian was nothing but a lowly commoner that was born on Jupiter. He was an accomplished musician also if I remember correctly. I think that was obvious about him when he played at a reception on Mercury," Ami said at length. "The other four I am not too sure about. I never really talked to any of them."

"You mean that I have a brother," Usagi said.

"Well you do have Shingo," Minako said with a wry grin.

"I don't mean that little spore," Usagi said with a slight snort. That comment caused Shane to hide a laugh that was starting to form. "I was meaning as Princess Serenity."

"Well according to this you do," Ami said. "His name meant, in the Language of the Moon, Raging Water. Yet everyone called him Torrent. Yet this is interesting!"

"What is it Ami," Rei asked.

"Well it says that he was from Mercury originally. It seems that Queen Serenity found him as an orphan and took him in and raised him."

"Is he older or younger than me," Usagi asked.

"He is younger by about three months so in effect you two are the same age," Ami said.

"Well if you would have asked me I would have told all of you that plus what I remember about each of the others," Shane finally said breaking the silence. When he did speak, it managed to scare all of those that were assembled. Shane could see that Artemis, Luna, and his cat Selene had their tails frizzed out to about double their usual size.

"So you finally accepted the fact that we don't need you after all," Rei asked hotly.

Shane, in a very uncharacteristic move walked over to Rei and then with enough ire and rage dripping in his voice said.

"I am working with you and that is final. If you even think of trying to override my judgement then I will be more than happy to take it up with you personally."

Mamoru and the others held their breaths in anticipation. They were waiting for him to raise a hand against her.

"You wouldn't dare hit me would you," Rei asked. "I am after all the Princess of Mars."

"I don't really care. You could be the 'Queen of the Wicker People' for all that I care and you would still be the same in my eyes," Shane said hotly.

"And what is that," Rei asked.

"A conceited, arrogant spoiled brat child," Shane said. "Who by my recollection was handed everything on a silver platter."

"How dare you talk that way to me," Rei shrieked. "If you hate me so much then do something about it."

"I won't. Mostly because of my friendship with Inferno I will not lay a hand on you, but if you even try to do something like this again I will not be held responsible for my actions," Shane said and with that stepped away from her.

"Now what else do you want to know about the Guardians," Shane asked them.

"Who is the Guardians' leader," Minako asked.

"Well I am the leader and I answer directly to Neo-Queen Serenity. The only other person that I answer to is to Princess Jupiter and that is it. All of the Guardians answer to their respective Princesses, myself and to Neo-Queen Serenity. Not necessarily in that order either," Shane said. "That is if she will still have the Guardians as a part of her court," Shane then said as he looked at Usagi.

"Of course I will still have you as part of my court," Usagi said with a smile. "But I think that we need to start to look for the other Guardians and soon."

"I tend to agree," Selene said. "With the Dark Kingdom coming back I think that we could use all of the help that we can get."

"However, I am so tired," Shane said through a yawn. "Besides we have school tomorrow."

"Good point so shall we meet here tomorrow after school then," Minako asked.

"I don't see why not," Shane said. "Mako-chan I will see you tomorrow."

"Yeah see you," Makoto said.

"Bye," Shane said as he lightly kissed her on the cheek. "Come on Usagi we need to be getting home. You still need to do your homework and I still need to eat dinner."

And with that Shane, Chibi Usa, Usagi, Luna, Diana, and Selene all walk off and head for home.

When Shane got home he had to write down what he was feeling so he would not explode with his emotions.

Journal Entry:June 15, 1995

'Well I am here in Japan like my excuse for parents wanted. I still don't understand the reasons for this at all. I still say that this is nothing short of exile. They would spend this kind of money to ship me off to Japan for school, but they will not pay for simple things at all. Either way I don't really care anymore. I am happy here. More happy than I have ever felt in my entire life. I have a Girlfriend finally. One that truly cares about me and that is all that I really wanted. I really do love Mako-chan.'

The End For now.
