Krissie: Hey guys! I've had this idea for a while and now I'm writing it down. Please tell me what you think and if you notice any errors. CassyG is helping me with ideas for this story.

Chapter 1:
Usagi sat down on her bed. She was brushing her hair as she looked for her tv remote. She had a long day at school and wanted to relax. She found the remote on her night stand and flicked on the tv. It was on the music channel. Not in the mode to watch the same old videos of The Three Lights, she clicked to a different channel and kept clicking until a huge picture of Jadeite filled the screen.
She yelped as she dropped the remote. She caught her breath after realizing it was just a picture. Then she read the headline across the screen. "SEVERAL DISAPPEARENCES LINKED TO DARK AGENCY." She picked the remote up off the floor and turned the up the volume so she could hear.
"We're here now with some of the family members of the missing persons." A female reported stated. "Tell us, when exactly did you realize that your loved ones were missing?"
She gestured to the light brunette woman. She had tears streaming down her thin face. She sniffled and wiped her tears away with a tissue before she spoke, "My little Jed always kept in touch when he first when to work for Dark Agency. He'd called me every day to check up on me and tell me everything. But after a while the calls got less frequent and then nothing. I haven't heard from my baby in 5 years." She began muttering sorrys as she couldn't stop her tears.
In the corner of the screen was a picture of Jadeite with a huge smile on his face. The top read, "Have you seen me?" The bottom stated, "Jed Taitou."
Usagi gulped as she realized that the Shitennou had been reborn with families just as she and the others had. Only difference was, they were with their families; the Shitennou's families were fearing the worse. She glanced at her locket and a light bulb lit up in her head.
The Silver Crystal gave the Phantom Sisters and Alan and Ann a second chance. Surely it could revive them too. She beamed with pride as she made up her mind. She wrote down the contact number from the tv before turning it off. She curled up in her bed feeling proud of herself.
The next morning, Usagi rushed over to Mamoru's apartment. She knocked, but received no answer. She pouted and then looked at her watch. Then she sighed as she realized that Mamoru was still on his morning jog. He would be back in a few minutes. She resigned herself to learning against his door.
She jumped when her communicator started going off. She answered it and saw Rei's face.
"Oh, Hi Rei!" Usagi smiled. "What's up?"
"Hey, I was calling to make sure you'd get up in time to help me out at the shrine today like you promised. But it looks like you're already up. Why are you up on your own so early?"
Usagi laughed. "Well last night, I was a story on the news. The Shitennou have family who are worried about them. I think it's unfair for us to be with our family and for them to be stuck as rocks. So I came to Mamo's place to see if I can't revive them with the Silver Crystal." She beamed with pride. "But Mamo-chan isn't back from his morning jog yet." She added with a pout.
Rei stood there motionless for a moment as what Usagi said sank in. "You're going to what?! Usagi are you crazy? They tried to kill us!"
"There were under Metalia's control. If I revive them with the Silver Crystal, they'll be good."
"No! No! No! Absolutely not!" Rei shouted. "That's a horrible idea!"
"Well, let's get everyone else's opinions then." Usagi stated as she called everyone else.
Ami looked up from her book. She found her communicator in a cup she placed her pencils and pens in on her desk. "Hello?" She answered.
Makoto heard her communicator in her kitchen. She lowered the heat on her stove before she went to answer it. She found her communicator on her night stand. "Hello?" She greeted.
Minako jolted up in the vet's office. The doctor gave her a confused look. She had brought Artemis and Luna in for a cheek up. He was just now signing papers for the three of them to leave.
"Sorry…" She gave a nervous laugh.
"It's okay. You're all free to go Ms. Aino." He stated putting down the clipboard.
"Thanks." She beamed. "Come on guys." She called the two cats to follow her as she pulled out her cellphone. "Hello?" She greeted. She was glad Ami had figured out how to connect their communicators to their phones. Mina was greeted by Ami's and Mako's hellos. She could hear Rei ranting. "What's going on?"
"Hey guys!" Usagi greeted. "Rei and I are having a disagreement. You see," The blond teenager told them all about the news special she watched last night and the Shitennou and her plan. "So what do you guys think?"
"It's a bad idea!" Rei stated instantly.
"I'm not sure…" Mako stated. "But the Silver Crystal did purify Alan and Ann. So it might revive them."
"Purify and revive are completely different things though." Ami added. "Are you sure you have the strength to revive them, Usagi?"
"Ami brings up a good point." Mina stated. "Using the Silver Crystal can really drain you at times Usagi. Reviving the Shitennou might take more than you can handle."
"Don't worry! I'm sure I can handle it. I am a future queen after all." Usagi stated.
"It's a bad idea!" Rei exclaimed.
"Usako?" Mamoru walked up to his apartment. "What are you doing here?"
"Mamo-chan!" Usagi beamed. "We'll talk later guys. Bye!" She clicked her communicator off as the others cried her name. "Hi Mamo-chan! How are you?" She hugged him.
"I'm good. You're up early. Did you stop by on your way to help Rei at the temple?" Mamoru asked.
Usagi beamed with pride. "Well actually," She began to recount her tale to her boyfriend as she followed him into his apartment. Mamoru began making tea as she told him about her plans.
Mamoru handed her a cup of tea. "I understand how you feel Usako, but are you sure you can revive them?"
"Of course!" Usagi stated. "As long as you're here to help me, I'm sure I can do it!"
Mamoru chuckled at her optimism.
"So come on Mamo-chan! Let's get this done." Usagi ordered as she gulped down her tea.
Mamoru put his cup on the table as he stood. He kept the Shitennou in his study. "Hey guys, are you up?" He asked as he entered the room.
The four Shitennou appeared before him above their rock forms.
"Hello Prince Endymion." They greeted. "Hello Princess Serenity." They added as they noticed the blond peeking her head into the room. She gave a smile and a wave as she shuffled so she stood next to her boyfriend.
"Is there something you'd like our advice on, your highness?" Kunzite asked.
"No, actually Usagi wanted to talk to you guys." Mamoru stated. "Usako," He gestured for her to speak by bobbing his head.
Usagi gave a smile as she tried and failed at swallowing her nervousness. "Hey guys." She gave a nervous laugh.
"Hello Princess Serenity, " They greeted again with a bow.
"So yeah… Listen," She began speaking rapidly, "Last night I saw this news special about missing people and it turns out you guys were reborn with families just like us. And your families are looking for you. They're really worried. So I came up with a way to fix it. I'm going to use the Silver Crystal to revive you guys! Or try to at least. But I'm sure I can do it."
The four Shitennou stood stun for a minute. They each exchanged looks. Kunzite looked stotic as always. Nephrite looked like he was contemplating it. Jadeite looked nervous and uncertain, but he was trying to not let it show. Zoisite was the most concerned. He was stuck his pinky in his mouth as he looked at Kunzite for guidance.
After a few moments of silence, Zoisite spoke up with a sad expressions, "I don't think you can do it." He was court and blunt, but his green eyes looked sad.
"Zoisite." Kunzite hissed at him.
"What? You're thinking it too." Zoisite crossed his arms and pouted. "I'm just stating it because you won't."
Before Kunzite could reprimand the youngest Shitennou, Nephrite spoke. "Zoisite is right, Princess Serenity. Our bodies were destroyed and turned into rocks. I doubt you could bring us back."
"Nephrite does bring up a good point." Jadeite nodded. "If you revived us with the Silver Crystal you'll be really weak and even then we might not even be revived."
"I agree with the others." Kunzite nodded. "It's far too dangerous. We're content to stay here as rocks and serve our prince."
Usagi deflated a little. "Pessimistic bunch, aren't they?" She thought to herself.
Zoisite had put his pinky back in his mouth. He wanted it to work. He missed having an actual body and life. But that would be a miracle and miracles don't just happen. That's when it hit him. A miracle! The Silver Crystal is a powerful stone that can create miracles of its own. But the Golden Crystal had similar properties too. If they combined then it might actually work! But they should do a small test first. Zoisite's eyes scanned the room. Perfect!
Everyone stared at the brunette who clapped his hands together and cried, "I've got it!" with glee.
"What have you've got, Zoisite?" Mamoru asked, arching a brow at him.
Zoisite looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him. He gave a nervous smile. "Well, the Silver Crystal might be able to revive us if you combine it with the golden crystal. But you should do a practice run first. I vote Jadeite!"
Jadeite's eyes widened. "What?"
"If they want to try to revive us, you be the test subject." Zoisite stated with a smile.
"Why am I the test subject?" Jadeite exclaimed. "Why don't you be the test subject? It is your plan after all."
"Well I don't like tests." Zoisite shrugged.
The four men stale faced the young man as Usagi giggled.
"Mamo-chan, go get the Golden Crystal." Usagi said as she tried to stop giggling. Mamoru left to get the Golden Crystal. "I like Zoisite's plan. We'll do a test." She beamed. "And no complaining, any of you."
"Is that an order?" Nephrite questioned.
"Yes." Usagi nodded.
Mamoru returned shortly after with the Golden Crystal. He stood next to Usagi and smiled. "Ready?"
"Yep." She spun on her heel so her back was to the Shitennou. "All of them." She mouthed, pulling out the Silver Crystal. "Let's go." She turned towards the Shitennou. "You guys hold still."
The two held their crystals up and concentrated. The two gems began to glow. "Moon Healing Escalation!" They yelled in unison. Then there was a bright flash of light.
