This particular story series of mine here will mainly be set in one of at least eight different Zones of Earth. Specifically, this story series will mainly be set in the Jerusalem Zone of Earth. Other Zones of Earth that may be mentioned in this story series, at least, if not others as well, will be the Tokyo, Honolulu, Seattle, Chicago, Rio De Janeiro, London, and Calcutta Zones. Tokyo's the Alpha Zone, unless otherwise stated. Honolulu, Beta. Seattle, Gamma. Chicago, Delta. Rio De Janeiro, Epsilon. London, Zeta. And Calcutta, Theta. Jerusalem will be in the Eta Zone, then, by logical enough extension here, of course.

I hope that you all happen to enjoy this story quite considerably, and that you'll leave plenty of good reviews for it, while it's still in progress here, by the way. Much more of it will come later, if and whenever possible, in the future, people.

Now with no further ado, if we may, then, let's all get on with the story again here, and see what happens next for the Scouts and anyone else they may or may not yet know in their lives, quite obviously enough! And away we go!


Chapter Two

The following Saturday, Lisha and Qadira met with Zoisite again. She continued to try to prepare them for future combat against any number of opponents. By this time, Lisha had nearly been able to transform into Sailor Egypt. She hadn't yet been able to do that at all, but Zoisite was hoping that Lisha would be able to do that soon. This, of course, was for all the obvious reasons.

Lisha still hadn't passed the 80 percent power level, at least in terms of transformation power. She would need to reach full power there, in order to transform. To hold her transformation for at least one hour, if not longer, well enough while still fighting, she'd need at least another 50 percent more than that, most likely, to be able to fight well enough as Sailor Egypt.

As for Qadira, she might not be able to fight as Sailor Syria until at least March 10, perhaps. At least that was how things seemed to be now for her to Zoisite. Qadira had chosen certain weapons for herself, and she'd often practiced with them whenever possible. Especially in Zoisite and Lisha's presence, in fact.

So had Lisha, for that matter. She'd mainly practiced with Zoisite, even before she'd first encountered Qadira. She actually wasn't that bad. But she still wasn't ready to fight any of the Scouts on Skyhorse's side of things in the local area of Jerusalem. She especially wanted to get the chance to try to knock down Skyhorse at least a peg or two, if at all possible, of course.

They, meaning Lisha and Qadira, practiced and prepared with Zoisite's help, wherever and whenever possible. That was so when they eventually had to fight the Scouts with Skyhorse, they hopefully wouldn't be defeated easily in their first engagements with them. It might be about another week before they'd be ready, or it might not. Only time would tell just how long it'd be before they were, of course. On the current day, then, they stayed with Zoisite most, if not all, of the time between about 9 am and 7 pm local time in the Jerusalem area, in fact.

Eventually, though, they both had to leave Zoisite again, and return to their respective residences in the area. They each returned to them by no later than 9:30 pm, by the way. And they were welcomed home quite warmly, as well, for that matter.


Several days later, it was February 28, 1991, a Thursday. Sylvia and others were conversing with each other at lunch. At Sylvia's table with her, or within close enough chatting range, were Liz, Leila, Sonja, Ashley, Rolando, James, Wolfgang, Lukhas, and Matthew. Unlike Kiena, Mary, and Joshua Dickens, however, who were either elsewhere in the cafeteria or in class, whatever the case might be for each of them at the present time.

Liz was sitting to Sylvia's right, as Sylvia ate and drank directly across from her boyfriend. The seat directly opposite Liz at her table here was now empty. To Liz's right sat Leila, who was directly opposite James. To Leila's right, Sonja sat directly across from Wolfgang. Ashley sat to Sonja's right, directly opposite Lukhas at the table. Matthew sat at the end of the table between Ashley and Lukhas, opposite another empty seat at the table.

The ten were mainly discussing things such as the upcoming DBJHS Prom. For one thing, by the way. Other discussed matters included the situation that was still ongoing between Iraq and the rest of the world. Especially as it pertained to their current occupation of Kuwait. Iraq hadn't yet been evicted from Kuwait. But several thousand military personnel, at least from many nations, were now massing at the Saudi Arabian border with Iraq and Kuwait, preparing to move at a moment's notice. For one month, more or less, since about February 1, there had been a bombing campaign against Iraq's forces. Both inside Iraq's airspace and inside Kuwait's, at least, for that matter. Also, several Iraqi missile strikes had hit places such as Haifa and Tel Aviv, for example. Several people had obviously been killed by those attacks on Israelite cities, when they happened. But not very many, when compared to the number of Iraqis killed in the current Coalition bombing campaign against Iraq.

The Scouts had been too far away to help the attacked Israelite civilians where the Iraqi Scuds had landed, unfortunately. For they still hadn't learned that they could sometimes teleport from one place to another if they were strong enough and in their respective Scout states. In time, they'd learn that. But at the current time, they still hadn't.

Sylvia asked, "Mr. Volois, when do you think we'll be invading occupied Kuwait and/or Iraq?"

"We in what sense, Miss Wakefield?"

"We in the sense of the Coalition trying to liberate Kuwait, at least?"

"Perhaps it could happen at any particular time, depending on how soon the American President wants us to begin doing that. Hopefully we'll even be able to go all the way to Baghdad, and capture Saddam Hussein himself," said Rolando.

Sylvia said, "Don't count on us being able to capture him for at least another decade or so, Mr. Volois. I have a feeling that we won't capture him for at least that long, which I don't fully understand myself, by the way."

Liz asked, in between two bites of fruit salad, "What makes you say that? By that, I mean, what makes you say that we might not capture him for a long time?"

"I don't know for sure, Liz. I wish I did, but I don't. Perhaps it's at least partly, if not entirely, due to the way the world usually works. At least geopolitically, if not in any other senses as well. The world generally hates war, it seems. Unless it's against Israel and anyone who supports him, of course."

"I don't get why people hate your land so much, Sylvia," said Liz.

"Let me answer this, if I may," interjected Rolando, when he saw Sylvia was about to answer. Sylvia let him do so, with a nod. Rolando then said, "Miss McCall, my fellow Briton, they hate Israel so much because the Messiah came through the Children of Israel, for one. Another is that they don't recognize God's right to assign land on Earth to a certain people, if He so chooses. In this case, the certain people in question are the descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob, also known as Israel. As such, they refuse, generally, Israel's right to exist. So Israel has to deal with those who seek to destroy him. Israel didn't totally drive out the Canaanite peoples from, or exterminate the Canaanite peoples from, the Promised Land. Because he did not do so, through his descendants, there are still surviving people who periodically cause problems for the Israelites now. Satan really loves warring against the Chosen People of God, whether they are Jewish, Christian, or of some other religious belief. Especially those people of the Jewish faith, for they are, more than any other people on the face of the Earth, the Apple of God's Eye. He sent the Messiah to Earth through them. If that isn't a sure sign that he really loves them, I don't know what is, and I never will. At least not in this lifetime, if ever, anyway."

Matthew said, "Mr. Volois, didn't the Throne get cut off at the time of the Babylonian Captivity?"

"Yes, but there will still be the Messiah ruling on the Throne of His ancestor David in the future. Jesus is a descendant of Solomon, legally, through his human foster father Joseph. Jeconiah has no biological descendants on the Throne, and won't have any, in the future, Matthew. Your namesake, at least in terms of your first name, wrote a Gospel tracing Jesus's legal ancestry from Abraham to Himself, through Joseph, if I'm not mistaken. As for Mary, her ancestry, it seems, is traced back through another son of David named Nathan, in Luke. It is still quite often debated how Jesus is able to claim future Kingship, I'm sure. Just because there isn't actually an Israelite Kingdom now, that doesn't mean that there won't be. Consider the case of Spain, for example. For a while, there was no Spanish Kingdom. But when Franco died in 1975, the Spanish became a Kingdom again."

"What about your own United Kingdom, Mr. Volois?" asked Lukhas.

"Yes, for a time, there was no English Kingdom. But the Kingdom was restored. The English joined us in a Union, in terms of our legislatures, in 1707. I am hoping that eventually, Scotland will become an independent Kingdom again."

"I don't think that's likely to happen, if ever, for at least a while, Mr. Volois," said Liz.

"Maybe not. But maybe we might at least get to have our own Parliament again, just the same. It's not just our Scotland that I want to see as an independent Kingdom again, it's also the Welsh that I want to see have one later as well."

"Why not give Northern Ireland away as well?" asked Liz.

"If they want to join with the rest of Ireland, then why not let them?"

"Mr. Volois, are you suggesting that we disassociate our nations with each other, by any chance?"

"No, not totally, of course, Miss McCall. I'm just suggesting that we shouldn't necessarily have to have just one ruling family in the British Isles. I, for one, don't want to see Prince Charles, for instance, succeed Queen Elizabeth II on the British Throne, if she dies before Christ returns."

Liz asked, "What about William, then?"

"It's too early to say, at least right now, anyway, Miss McCall."

Leila asked, "Then who do you think should rule after Queen Elizabeth II, Mr. Volois, by any chance, if I may ask?"

"Prince Edward, at least as a Regent for William, if not as King."

"You'd bypass Charles and Andrew, at least?" asked Ashley, as it got to be about three or so minutes before their lunch period was about to end.

"Sure I would. I don't trust Prince Charles to stay away from Camilla and not break Diana's heart, nor do I think Andrew has what it might take to rule after Queen Elizabeth II, Miss Cornale. Anne is after her brothers, in the line of succession, because she is female. Personally, I think succession should go by order of birth, whenever possible, with female precedence where appropriate. The line of succession shouldn't necessarily tend to favor one gender over the other, I think. Such as Japan, for instance, seems to do at the present time."

"Oh?" asked Sonja.

"The Japanese evidently would prefer a male ruling from the Chrysanthemum Throne forever, from what I know of them right now. But in time, they may seriously have to consider letting a female rule for at least a while as an Empress. They haven't had a male born for some time in the Imperial family, if I'm not too mistaken here, Miss Darram."

James said, "I too think that royal/imperial families' lines of succession shouldn't necessarily be confined, normally to one gender or the other."

"Mr. Volois, what about the Austro-Hungarian or the Bavarian Thrones and/or Royal families, then?" asked Wolfgang, as they all began disposing of all the necessary things, if they'd not all begun doing so by then.

"I wouldn't mind seeing them restored sometime in the future, if that's what the affected people might actually want to see happen in it at all, Mr. Schubert."

"And if they don't?" asked Lukhas.

"Then so be it, Mr. Edison. I personally wouldn't mind it either if they choose to stay as they now are."

The ten of them soon parted again as they needed to here. Even Sylvia, of course. And they went to their various classes as necessary. Often not seeing each other much, if at all, during the rest of the school day, most likely.

After the end of the school day came and went, Rolando and Sylvia met briefly with each other. They mainly discussed what their plans were for the weekend, if not anything else as well. "Sylvia, how would you like to go to the Mediterranean sometime this weekend?"

"I don't think so, Mr. Volois. I have a strange feeling that something will happen soon that will require Skyhorse's attention. I don't know why I do, but I still know that I do, just the same. Maybe later, I might be more interested in such an idea. But right now, at least, I can't honestly say that I am. Sorry."

"No problem. I was just wondering, that's all, Miss Wakefield."

"That doesn't mean, however, that I don't want to go somewhere later with you, just so you know, Mr. Volois."

"I'll see you later, then, maybe?"

"I'll try to make that possible, if I can. Can you be at the library by 7, perhaps? I'd like to see you after my patrol today, in fact, if at all possible."

"I think I can do that. When were you going to make your rounds in the area?"
"Probably between 4 and 6, I think. So I'd best leave you now, and get ready to do that well enough, I suppose."

The two of them soon parted. He went to his family's residence for a while, and she eventually went out on patrol after a brief stop at the cavern.

As Sylvia patrolled as Sailor Skyhorse, she encountered Sailor Moon and Luna near a city park. She said, "Hello, you two. It's good to see you again."

Sailor Moon said, "Skyhorse, what a surprise to see you again so soon. I don't see you often, it seems, around here."

"The Jerusalem area is rather large, Sailor Moon, if I'm not too mistaken here. I don't always get to patrol near or in this park, I believe. Others usually patrol near her more than I can, it seems."

Luna said, "People often talk about you, Sailor Skyhorse. I wonder if that bothers you at all."

"Not really, as long as my civilian identity is kept sufficiently secret from those who don't absolutely need to know it at all. Such as my family and/or friends, for example, Luna."

"I suppose you're right, Skyhorse. But you will want to be more careful in the future, it seems. Evidently not only Negaversers want to learn the civilian identities of the Scouts. But any number of Arab terrorists and many civilians do too. So you and your Scouts might really want to be careful in the future."

"Sailor Moon, how well do you know Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Corona, Eclipse, Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Sedna, Quaoar, and Orcus, at least?" asked Skyhorse.

"Not well at all, it seems, Sailor Skyhorse. Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering, that's all," answered Skyhorse.

"I see. Are you thinking I might get to know them well enough in the future, by any chance?" asked Sailor Moon.

"Perhaps. But first, I think Tuxedo Mask might have to appear, in order for you to do that, I think, Sailor Moon."

"I don't know a 'Tuxedo Mask,' Skyhorse."

"You will, in time, I'm sure. And you might be surprised about who he is, for that matter."

After a good deal of additional conversation being among Luna and the two Scouts, Skyhorse eventually parted from them, and went back to the cavern. She stayed there for a while, before setting off for the library again, by the way, as Sylvia.

Rolando met Sylvia near the front entrance of the library, when she got there, and they soon headed to another part of it. For a while, they looked for any books there they might then want or need to check out of it. Soon after that, they checked those books out, and left the library behind. After doing that, they soon went to the cavern. While there, they dropped off Sylvia's van. With that done, they went out to eat at a Chinese restaurant. They arrived there by 9, and stayed there for about half an hour. After eating out, they went to the mall, and browsed in several stores there until about 11:30 pm or so.

"I think we should probably call it a night soon, Rolando," said Sylvia, as they were leaving the mall just after 11:30 pm.

"I suppose so, Sylvia. I'd really like to be with you when the morning comes, though."

"Well, that's not possible just yet."

"I know. But I still would like to wake up next to you eventually."

"God willing, of course, I'm sure you eventually will, my Beloved. But that won't be possible for some time unless you and I are married first."

"I know that. I wish we were already married, though."

"I understand, Rolando. But we aren't, if we'll ever be, just yet. So there's nothing that we can do to change that. At least not yet, anyway." They soon parted as needed in the cavern. It was almost midnight when they did so, in fact. Rolando went home, and Sylvia stayed in the cavern, of course, when they both did so here with a few kisses and hugs as they then saw fit.

Sylvia stayed awake for a while longer, only retiring to her bed in the cavern after 2:15 or so in the morning. She slept reasonably well, not yet knowing that much more trouble was certainly due to come her and her friends' ways in the very near future. And just what kind of trouble it then might be, for that matter.


The following afternoon, shortly after school, Sylvia then went about her business in the area as she saw fit. She soon visited Sweet Musicalisti to be with Moonlight Serenade for at least a little bit, if not a lot, just before beginning her usual rounds in the area. Sylvia then arrived there by 5:15 pm, after briefly stopping by the cavern to change her clothes, et cetera. After she arrived at Sweet Musicalisti to visit with Serenade, she eventually prepared him to be ridden as needed by her that afternoon and evening, once he asked her to do that here well enough.

The two of them eventually left Sweet Musicalisti behind so that they could begin their rounds in the local area. They soon arrived near the Athletic Club together, just as soon as they could do that here well enough. As they began nearing the aforementioned Athletic Club, Skyhorse began getting a really bad feeling for herself. She'd powered up to her Skyhorse state of being just after they'd both left Sweet Musicalisti's grounds behind well enough, in fact.

When she was then able to comprehend said feeling well enough, at least at the current time here, she suddenly said, "Serenade, I need and want you to go try to find Renaissance, Trinity, Mir, Israel, and Judah. As well as their various animal allies, please, if you can do that here. I'm going to look around this general area more on foot, for your information. Tell them to hurry up, and get to wherever I might be, by the time they're able to respond well enough here. I don't think we'll need the assistance of the other Scouts right now, though."

"Understood," said Serenade, as Skyhorse suddenly slipped off his back to the ground below, just as quickly and as safely as she then could do that here and now. After she'd taken all the necessary things off his back, she sent him away from her, and prepared herself for whatever she might then have to face very shortly indeed. This, of course, was for all the obvious reasons.

Skyhorse quite carefully scoped out the area as best as she then could all by herself at the current time. She didn't have to wait too much longer before sounds from a sudden explosion several blocks away reached her ears. Skyhorse hurried to the location just as quickly and as safely as she could, of course. The explosion had been caused by a suicide bomber detonating a homemade explosive device on a bus, in fact.

Skyhorse began trying to help the surviving victims of the bus attack, but before she could help most of them, a girl pulled her away from them, and forced her to try to defend herself. The girl was Sailor Egypt, by the way.

When Skyhorse tried to get back to where the survivors of the attack were, Egypt wouldn't let her. Skyhorse said, "Let me go back there and help those people."

"No, Skyhorse, I forbid it. By Satan, Osiris, and others, I shall not let you back there willingly."

"Who are you, and why do you not want me to help them?"

"I am Sailor Egypt, and I now serve the Negaverse. I am the Sailor of Egypt's Revenge! Satan and Osiris have great need of their bodies, among others, for that matter. Defend yourself, you vile infidel! Isis, my sword, scabbard, and shield, please!" A black cat with a triple pyramid-like mark appeared from a deserted alley, and soon called forth a sword, scabbard, and shield, by jumping, twisting, and somersaulting three times in rather quick succession. Then the cat returned to its previously-unknown nearby hiding place. Wherever it then was, in fact, before Skyhorse could keep her from doing that well enough.

Sailor Egypt was currently wearing a sailor-style uniform similar in many respects, though not in all respects, to the one that Skyhorse was now wearing here. Her tiara was gold with the appropriate birthstone at its base. Her choker was black with red and gold trim. Egypt's collar was black with white piping. On Egypt's shoulders, there were shoulder pins to represent Egypt as appropriate. Egypt's locket was in the approximate shape of a cat. Egypt had a mostly red neckerchief with black and gold trim. Her uniform's blouse was mostly black with a sash. Her skirt was mostly black, and it fell to mid-thigh, perhaps. On her feet, there were also black sandals, where appropriate, for that matter.

"I am not an infidel, Sailor Egypt," said Skyhorse, as she began fighting against Egypt with her sword, and doing it by sheer necessity here. She fought Egypt for quite a while, of course. And while she was still doing so, Zoisite briefly appeared nearby, with several good-sized cubes in both of her hands.

Zoisite tossed those cubes in the air, and then threw several knives at them from places inside her own Negaverse General's uniform, as Skyhorse's attention was still largely taken up by Egypt here. As it still was, Zoisite tossed the knives in the direction of those cubes. The knives speared the cubes one at a time, and one knife per cube, for that matter. After they did so, the cubes split open to reveal the presence of several monsters of various sizes. Some cubes more than others, but each with at least one or two, just the same. The monsters became visible in very short order, and began to try to keep various people from helping the surviving victims of the most recent suicide bombing here, of course. After they did so, Zoisite vanished almost as quickly as she'd suddenly appeared on the scene. She called back her knives from the cubes they'd just speared, and returned them to wherever she'd gotten them on her person. Just before she left the scene again, she said, "Skyhorse, I hope you have a lot of fun trying to win here. You're really going to have your hands full here, it seems. Goodbye, and I hope this means permanently, for that matter."

Skyhorse shouted, as she parried a few thrusts from Egypt, "Don't count on it being forever, Zoisite. We will win here, as much as we can, and you're going to get your just punishments, in due time, you foul witch! God willing, of course, that is!"

After Skyhorse said that, Zoisite scowled at her while still vacating the scene as needed or desired here, in fact. And then Egypt said, "Give up now, Skyhorse. Your time to run things here is now over. The Negaverse will prevail, in time. Give up now, and you might live!"

"It's much better to die in Christ than to live as the servant of Satan, Allah, and all false deities or sentient beings, Sailor Egypt! I shall never serve the Negaverse, and you will either be defeated or converted, by God's will, in fact."

Just then, several Scouts appeared on the scene, and began to engage the monsters still trying to wreak havoc in the local area. Those Scouts were Renaissance, Trinity, Mir, Israel, and Judah. Also with them were Serenade, Isaiah, Vladephrad, and Yeshua, at least, if not anyone else as well, for that matter. The other Scouts who'd just arrived on the scene wasted no time at all in making any speeches before fighting here. And they then engaged them in combat just as soon as the possibly could, by the way. Still other Scouts were on the way, but they hadn't yet arrived on the current scene here.

The arrival of the other Scouts and several animal allies got Egypt rather upset here. And it soon began to show, after she began letting her guard down at least a little bit while trying to fend off several slashes and thrusts from Skyhorse. Skyhorse soon had gained a considerable advantage over Egypt in the fight, after that happened. But not without taking some hits to herself as well, quite obviously enough. Eventually, Skyhorse was about to force Egypt to drop out of her current Negaverse state. But she was prevented from doing that when Egypt threw sand and assorted other things toward her eyes. While Skyhorse protected her eyes as best as she could here, for the obvious reasons, Egypt suddenly slipped away, before Skyhorse could force her to drop back to her own civilian state of being. Just as Egypt slipped away from Skyhorse here well enough, she then shouted, "I'll be back, Sailor Skyhorse! You can be sure of that, in fact! And you'll pay for what you've just done here, for that matter!"

After Egypt was quite sufficiently out of her current reach here, Skyhorse went to where the other Scouts and their animal allies were still fighting several monsters. She helped the others as best as she could before the Pilgrim showed on the scene. He aided them for a while, before the still-remaining monsters were all disposed of as needed. Eventually, all the monsters were defeated and dusted completely. And then the Scouts did what they could for the remaining survivors of the bombing and the monster attacks here, of course. But they were still too late to save the lives of about 110 people, most of them civilians, just the same.

About sixty or so of them were civilians who'd been somewhere on the bus. Other civilians had been killed on the streets by shrapnel coming from the bomb's quite-sudden explosion. While others had been killed by the various monsters. Several police officers, soldiers, firefighters, and emergency personnel had also been killed by the Negaverse-affiliated monsters after their own appearances on the scene. Even while the Sailor Scouts and their various animal allies had all been responding to the multiple-monster attack or while fighting against them all there.

It was quite a while before the scene could be handled well enough by all the necessary sentient beings, whether they were human or not, of course. But by 10, much of it had been taken care of in the necessary manners, just the same. Several nearby buildings had taken some damage as well due to the bombing and the monsters' attacks that evening and night, for the obvious reasons. At least one might have to be demolished and/or rebuilt, because of them, as well.

It took until about midnight or so for the scene of the terrorist/monster attacks to be secured and handled well enough, at least as of the current time. But it was eventually done well enough, no matter what had to be done then for that to happen here, in fact. Several soldiers remained at and around the scene, of course, while everyone else vacated it just as soon as they could do that well enough, by the way.

It was a very dirty and very angry Skyhorse, for instance, who eventually left the scene behind. And she only left it behind when she realized well enough that there was nothing more than she, the rest of the Scouts, or their animal allies, could do there at the current time. She eventually returned to the cavern, after first dropping Serenade off at Sweet Musicalisti and taking care of him there as needed, of course.

She powered down as soon as she reached the cavern well enough. And no more than about ten minutes after that, she was then doing what she could to begin cleaning herself up as best as she currently could after her most recent battle as Skyhorse in the local area. It took her until about 2:15 in the morning for her to do that well enough to suit her as much as it was currently possible for her in her life. After she got done with her bath, and bedtime preparations, she got herself a very late supper, for the obvious reasons. She stayed up consuming it until about 2:45 in the morning, before finally retiring to her bed for the rest of the overnight period there, and falling promptly to sleep in it, not more than twenty seconds after her head hit her pillow well enough.

Sylvia wouldn't likely rise from her bed again for at least the next eight or so hours, for that matter. And as she slept, she began having dreams of several future battles she and many others would still actually have to fight in their respective lives. Battles for things such as Rainbow Crystals, for example. But she'd not know that for at least a little while yet, just the same. And neither would her current and/or future allies, whether those allies of hers were actually human or not, by the way.

Not realizing that here, then, well enough, she rather quietly slept in her bed. Sylvia wasn't disturbed by anyone or anything at all as she then slept in it, no matter who or what it was. At least in the sense of being physically woken up by them, if not in any other senses as well, in fact. And so she remained until at least 11 in the morning, if not even later than that, for that matter.


So concludes the second chapter of Book II of this story series. If you like what you see of it well enough, for at least the time being, then you know what to do. That is all. TUS out.
