first of all thanks to all those that have read and reviewed my story, I also want to thanks all those that read but did not review my story, I know there's got to be at least a few of you out there!.

Sorry everyone it took me a while to update, but I have been busy over the summer with summer class, then going back and forth between Toronto and Buffalo. Hopefully I'll have another update in 2weeks to 1 month's time.

Please read and review then post some comments. I'm open to flames, criticism anything!!!

My betas haven't really had time to edit this, I've tried to fix some punctuation and grammar myself but since I've seen this for like the past 2 months I'm numb to it. I did catch most of the spelling mistakes. I just want to point out. Some words that looks misspelled are not really incorrect, it's because British spelling is different than American (example: American spells color, Bristish spells colour; same word both spelling correct) and I grew up using British spelling is okie in Canada. Also I used slangs, just because I think it makes the story more relatable and realistic.

This update is actually the second part of the previous chapter that i did not post combined with the new update.

I'm going to change the story name next update... last but not least AGAIn

Please read and review then post some comments. I'm open to flames, criticism anything!!!

Story: Stealing the eternal lights (Title of story will be changed soon)

Chapter 3: Taste of first battle

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the battle scene

" Pathetic" is that all you got? And what of your other playmates, scared to come out?" the weird individual asked.

The weird individual sat crossed legged in thin air (kind of like Zoicyte of the dark kingdom), the outfit was that of an Arabian and reminded them of the moonlight knight, but he wore nothing to cover his face nor was there anything on his head. He had a tall pointed nose and small dainty lips on his hands was a small thin silver stick, much like a wane, those you will see at magic shows or in the movies like Harry Potter where the Wizards will hold a thin silvery stick.

" World Shaking" a voice interrupted and a ball of energy zapped in from behind, hitting this man

The man's lip curled into a snarl

" is this how you attack, such a dirty and low hand way, attacking others from behind, since it seems the warriors from this planet likes to attacks others from behind as this is the second time" the man spat throwing a look at Venus, as she had launched the first attack without him notice from behind him

" no need to be polite with you as if you are not dirty and low hand, injuring innocent people? Deep Submerge" Neptune released a attack from the other side, this time it didn't totally catch the man by surprised but he didn't see where Neptune was and he was pissed off at himself for letting his guards down, he zipped back a little but the attack still caught his arms, the monster by his side released an attack but Uranus, Neptune both jumped out of the way land both of them along with another tiny soldier which he almost missed landed firmly on the ground

" Guarding the New Age with grace, my guardian deity is a planet is far up in the sky, soldier of the sky Sailor Uranus" Uranus said

" Guarding the New Age with elegance, my guardian deity is a planet with the sea of sand, soldier of embrace, Sailor Neptune" Neptune followed

"And I, Guarding the New Age with a new purpose, my guardian deity is a planet of silence, soldier of death and rebirth, Sailor Saturn" Saturn added

" Nice speeches" the man nodded in mockery

" who are you answer us" Uranus stepped forward and pointed

" I don't think everyone has arrived yet, not that they matter, I'll let you know who I am, then finish you off then come back for them next time, since I have so much time on my hands anyways and I get rather bored easily" the man announced his voice cracking his face twisting into a smirk.

" I Am Siieva" the man said and opened his fan and smirked

" who sent you" Venus asked

" ah my pretty lady, need not worry, you shall know soon, if I don't kill you first now, however even then it does not concern you, as we have greater things to spent time on and all of you are just minor nuisance, however this is our first outing and I'm delighted to meet all of you, and it will be rude for us to take you all out today, so I'll rather just amuse myself for now" The evil man known as Siieva said

" well minor nuisance. We'll see about that and about your mission whatever it is , it will not succeed, World shaking" Uranus screamed and released her attack then she ran full speed jumped up and took out her space sword and threw it it, traveled with her energy attack and head for the Siieva guy. Siieva eyes widen not at the attack but rather taken aback by the straight forwardness of this Uranus warrior, but smiled as he easily zapped out of the way and the energy ball hit the wall causing some pieces of the wall to crumble to the ground and some glass breaking, the sword slam into the wall and got caught.

"well I had enough fun today, Chimera finish them off" Siieva said and was about to wave his fan when

" Stop right there" a voice loomed causing Siieva to look around

" started something and running away so fast? Hurting the lives of innocent and destroying the mall, a place I love so much, you will not be forgiven, I am sailor Moon and in the name of the moon, I shall punish you" Sailor Moon said and stepped out from the shadows and struck her pose

" and In the name of mercury as well" Sailor Mercury announced and joined Sailor moon

One must be wondering where tuxedo mask was, those who have followed the news and know the sailor senshi, the masked warrior was actually nearby, but just hiding he was their 'secret weapon'

" well well pretty speeches won't get you anywhere, and that's if your speech is pretty, but let me break it to you, your speech is boring and it puts me to sleep not to mention it is very very corny, this is no fun at all.. I'll take my leave now and let you play with my pet, maybe if you are lucky you will survive and I'll personally get to sent you to your grave next time" Siieva mocked

" maybe you are only leaving because you see the sheer number of us and you are scared" Jupiter exclaimed

" why don't you speak for yourself first.. " Siieva looked mockingly at Jupiter's battle-wary body but he is in reality taken aback by how many of them there were, but he was not taken aback by their powers, except maybe for Uranus and Neptune and he look warily at Saturn as well,

" Why you, Jupiter Oak Evolution" Jupiter yelled and ran forward releasing her attack but something unexpected happen, the serpent released it's long tongue out and grabbed Jupiter, Jupiter's attack was flying everywhere causing parts of the floor to burn a hole, other parts of the mall falling apart.

All the warriors glared at the monster then at Siieva, but Siieva only laughed with mockery and watched the scene unfold with glee. And as Jupiter was held capture she screamed in agony, as the monster had her almost in a death grip and she could hardly feel her body's circulation functioning not to mention the monster was absorbing her energy.

" Release her, Venus Love and Beauty Shock" Venus ran forward ad bit and released her attacked hoping to distract the monster and drop Jupiter.

Venus's attack did not work according to the way she had hoped, instead the monster's other side, the side with the lion's head ran forward and started chomping on her chain of hearts, like they were sugar linked candies.

" EHH.." Sailormoon and Venus but exclaimed, their face turning blue, the lion kept chomping and Venus had to relinquish her attack and jump back

" Is that thing like feeding on our energy then?" Sailormoon asked to no one in particular. Mercury at this time took out her mini computer and started analyzing the monster to see what it is doing and find its weakness.

" you know we can't realy attack this, if we do, it'll hurt Jupiter and Jupiter's body circulation is really slow because of the tight hold the monster has on her not to mention it is absorbing Jupiter's energy" Mercury announced

" then what do we do, if we don't do something it's not like Jupiter will be saved, because for all we know it's gonna absorbed all of Jupiter's energy" Sailormoon exclaimed frantically

" If Tuxedo Kamen is here maybe he can use his rose attack to have the monster release Jupiter.." Mercury began

" well where is Tuxedo Kamen then?" Venus demanded frantically

" he was with us, he transformed, he should be here, but I think he's staying back, so he's our 'secret weapon'" Sailormoon explained

" well we need him, he should be able to hear us.." Venus cried and looked around

" you know maybe something else came up, Mars should be here too.." Mercury exclaimed looking around

" Oh no, don't tell me there's another monster attack?" Sailormoon said in disbelief

"then what are we going to do?" Venus asked to no one

" let me take care of it" Sailormoon exclaimed then reached her hand onto her tiara

" Moon tiara magic" Sailormoon chanted those magic words and let her tiara fly, the tiara sliced through the snake's tongue and it quickly released Jupiter.

" ahhh" Jupiter moan as she was released as she was released with such sudden force, Jupiter flew through the flooring of the second floor of the mall and hit the second floor

" oh no" Saturn exclaimed

" Venus Love Chain encircle" Venus shouted but was too late as Jupiter hit the floor of the ground floor hard with a thud, and all the senshis each made a inwardly painful expression.

Raye was standing there confused, when she had received the message, she was about to step out of her room, and head out, but once she got the message she was going to transfer and get out of her room and head to the mall. While usually she would have left her room to transfer, she didn't need to this time, her grandfather went to another shrine that week to attend a spiritual meeting. She had actually insisted on going herself, seeing the antics her grandfather pulled sometimes worried her, not only for her safety but for the reputation of their shrine, but she had later found out, the spiritual meeting only allowed experienced Miko or priest from the invited shrines to attend, and hence she could not go. Yuuichiro had been given a holiday since 2 weeks ago and won't be back until later this week. While she needed to be careful when she gets out of the shrine, at least she can transfer anywhere without worry about her grandfather or Yuuichiro, the only people she needed to worry about was visitors and hence she had held out her transformation stick and said her transformation phrase, but to her surprise and horror… nothing happened and she was left dumbstruck standing there for the past 5 minutes.

" what?" Raye asked finally snapping out of it

" this can not be happening" she whispered and then the next thing she know, a smoke of white fog surrounded her.

" need not worry, Princess of Mars" a soft willowy but warm voice said

Raye turned her head to look in the white fog but didn't see anyone

" who are you and how do you know who I am?" Raye asked standing in a fighting position. She may not be able to transform, but she trust herself that she can still hold on a few minutes with her unarmed combat skills

" Welcome Princess of Mars, I am Queen Serenity and I know who you are, because you have been one of the most loyal guards to my daughter, Princess Serenity" The soft voice said and a figure emerged

Raye relaxed her shoulder a small bit, but not dropping her guards down, then she saw a regal looking woman clad in white. Her silver hair and sapphire eyes glistened under the dark sky. However what caught Raye's eye was the golden crescent moon on the women's forehead.

" Queen Serenity, pardon my rudeness" Raye said and kneeled

" no need to be formal, Princess of Mars and you were just on guard for your safety, and I expect no less from one of my daughter's protectors" Queen Serenity smiled

" Thank you, Queen Serenity, were you the one that said 'don't worry?'" Raye asked wanting to make sure

" Yes, I was responsible for that, there's a evil coming that's greater than anything all of you combined have ever face. Please warn the other warriors. There will be help coming, but don't relye on the help to help you defeat this evil. " Queen Serenity said in a grave voice

" I will let the others know, but where is this evil coming from, what is it that they want? How are we going to defeat them?" Raye asked full of worry and confusion

" when the times comes I will let you know, as for how to defeat them? The sailor soldiers of this sol system must achieve another level of power in-order to achieve this power, look deep within your hearts then you will achieve the level of power" Queen serenity said eloquently

"Look deep within our hearts? That's so vague? How are we going to do this? Do we have the time to figure out something this vague" Raye asked anxiously

" I can only say this much, take care of yourself and my daughter Princess of Mars, and always believe in yourself" Queen Serenity whispered then she started to fade into the foggy swirl of clouds

" WAIT!" Raye cried and reached out trying to grab onto Queen Serenity but it was a null effort the next thing she knew she was standing in her room the same way she was, as if time had frozen and she just woke up.

In the shadows of the mall, near the battle scene

"should we go help them?" a soft clear voice asked

" no,Healer , we should let them fight this is the first time the enemy striked and they shouldn't have sent out a very strong monster, and if they can't defeat that monster, then what is it going to come out of this, we should observe how well they do" another voice said

" uhh, Fighter I would think you would be rushing out to help Sailormoon" Healer replied sarcastically

" as much as I want to I can't, Odango would be fine" Fighter replied

" I am only wondering where's the rest of the team…not all of them is here" another voice added

" That's a good point, Maker" Fighter said

"Well we just saw Jupiter crashed through the floor, another one I noticed that isn't here is Mars, maybe she got taken down before we came… the only one not really injured is Mercury, she's researching and strategizling in the background" Healer observed

" I don't think we spotted Mars when we came tho.." Fighter said

"well it's probably because we didn't really look, we just passed by and rushed here.. maybe some blast knocked her out then sent her flying really far.." Healer replied

" hmm" Maker wondered out loud but didn't say anything

"huh?" Tuxedo Mask muttered

" Prince Edymion…" a soft willowy voice whispered

" Whose there?" Tuxedo Mask asked and looked around, but didn't see anything, then the next thing we know he saw gushes of white smoke surrounding him

" What's happening?" Tuxedo Mask asked frantically

" Prince Endymion" a voice said and he looked

" Kunzite?" Tuxedo Mask

" Prince Endymion, your majesty, yes it is me Kunzite" Kunzite stepped forward and bowed

" how..?" Tuxedo Mask asked

" When we betrayed you and the people of earth under a spell set out by Beryl, we made a pledge to her that for all eternity that our bodies and soul is sold to the Dark Kingdom, and so now our bodies are casted inside crystal coffin" Kunzite explained

" but with the help and forgiveness of Queen Serenity, she was able to start to undo what happened due to our false pledge" Jadite added

" false pledge?" Tuxedo Mask asked confused

" because when we made our pledge to the dark kingdom, we were under a spell and thus misled, that equates to a false pledge, so in essence the pledge doesn't work" Jadite explained

" but because there were after magic involved we are unable to be released, at least not our physical body anyways" Nephrite continued

" and because Queen Serenity is undoing the spell from the moon and because she is merely just a spirite right now, it is taking longer than expected to release our physical body" Zoisite added

" okie.." Tuxedo Mask said, trying to digest everything

" My Prince, we are sorry we have betrayed you and the people of earth, we know we do not deserve your forgiveness or forgiveness from anyone else.. but please take our warning to heart" Kunzite said and kneeled while the rest of the former generals followed and kneeled as well

" I have already forgive you and as you have said, the four of you were misled and fell under a spell, you had no control, and it shows in the false pledge you made, if it was found that even without a spell you would have made that pledge with the Dark Kingdom than in that case then you would not have deserved to be forgiven, but that is not the case anymore, now please stand" Tuxedo Mask reasoned

" Thank-you your majesty" the four general replied together

" Please no need to be formal with me, call me Darien, that's my English name and what is this danger?"

" this danger, it is going to be very difficult to defeat, even more so then Sailor Galaxia, there is a being gathering resources, ad eventually this being will bring back foes from the past, foes from other dimensions maybe even" Nephrite explained

" huh foes from our past? Other dimensions.. how do you know.. what can we do to fight them?" Tuxedo Mask asked eagerly

" when unexpected help comes, be skeptical but do not push the help away, that is all we can say for now, your majesty" Zoisite elucidated

" Our prince, our time is up, but remember we will always be here to protect you, for now we will be with you in the form of these stones" Jadite said and gave Tuxedo Mask 4 stones, one red, one green, one blue and one yellowy-orange.

" when you need us just touch the stone and seek with your heart" Nephrite explained

"farewell our dear prince, we will always be here… do not lose hope" Kunzite 's voice whispered as the four generals started to fade into swirls of smoke, and the smoke started to float toward the 4 coloured stone respectively.

" take care my prince" Zoisite said as the last of his swirl flew into the blue stone, while Jadite's swirl flew into the red stone, Nephrite swirl flew into the green stone and Kunzite's swirl flew into the yellow-orange stone.

The next thing Tuxedo Mask know was the fog faded, but still in his hand were the four stones, he shook his head to clear them a little and started sprinting, the battle had continued while he was pulled into that encounter, and who knew what had transpired during all this time.

It is 45 minutes into the battle, Sailor Venus was in this battle for the full 40 minutes of the 45 minutes, although in the beginning she had hardly released an attack she still had to dodge and plan battle strategy and communicate with Jupiter. Jupiter now knocked out was there since the beginning until she got knocked out and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune has been here for half an hour now, while Sailor Moon and Mercury was here for a good 20 minutes as well and yet the battle was still going and it didn't look like it was going to stop soon, in fact it looked like they might be on the losing side.

Uranus and Neptune kept attacking that Sieeva guy, determined to take him down. Sailor moon, Venus and Jupiter before was attacking the monster while Mercury was scanning on her Mercurian computer and Saturn kept guard Mercury because Mercury was defenseless while she types away.

" guys we might be able to beat this monster if we pool our energy together" Mercury finally said

" but how are we going to do that without Jupiter being knocked out and we don't even know where Mars is.." Sailormoon asked anxiously

" our attack will greatly diminish if we don't have those two.. " Sailor Venus stressed out to Mercury

" I know, our Sailor Planet attack can and cannot include Sailormoon, I understand that although Sailormoon is strong, her power does not subsitue those of Mars and Jupiter, but because Sailormoon is stronger, we might be able to pull it off.. it's our only chance" Mercury reasoned

" what about if we join forces? Me, Uranus and Neptune" Saturn asked

"we never carried one out, I don't see why not, but.. I'm not sure how the energy signature will carry out.." Merucry said and started to type

" I say we just try it, there;s no time for us to look, we might be exhasued by that time.." Sailormoon began and Mercury bite her lips

" I don't mean it that way Mercury I know you are trying your hardest, it is simple because we are not powerful enough.. I mean worst come to worst we don't kill the monster but we can probably severely injure it.." Sailormoon explained

" I think it will work, Sailormoon's power signature is funnel from the Silver Imperium silver Crystal, and other complicated matters which I do not have time to explain, but Sailormoon is also able to receive power boost from each of you and the power each of you receives is supplemented and nourished from your respective planet, Sailormoon should be able to funnel and channel the Outer's power while you guys initiate a Sailor Planet Attack " Luna reasoned

" Let's try it" Uranus said and smiled

" alright everybody" as they all gathered in a circle

" just what the hell are they doing?" Sieeva thought outloud

" Mercury planet power" Mercury shouted

" Venus Planet power" Venus shouted next

" Eternal Moon Power" Sailormoon followed next

" Saturn Planet power" Saturn said in a Raspy voice

" Neptune Planet power" Neptune shouted

" Uranus planet power" Uranus followed last

" SAILOR PLANET ATTACK" the six soldier shouted together

" ehh?" Sieeva mutted confused as flashes of light illuminated from each soldier

As Siieva's eyes widen, Mercury had blue light, Venus had Orange, Saturn had purple, Uranus had yellow, Neptune had Aqua and Sailormoon had white light, then in a split second, Venus and Mercury's energy signature meshed into one light ball, then Sailormoon's energy signature attached to the ball of light from the back, then Neptune, Saturn and Uranus's energy signature meshed into another ball, then the two energy ball meshed into one great one as it almost hit the monster.

" You will not defeat me" the monster roared but before the monster could do anything, the energy ball hit the monster and the monster disintegrated into splotches of gooey substance.

The soildiers all turn their heads around looking to see if anything else of the monster remained and then Uranus caught sight of Siieva

" well what do you think now?" Uranus challenged

" you may have been able to defeat my minion monster, but it be known that this was one of the weakest and it took you this long and you had to pull your energy together to get rid of it, which means next time you all will probably meet your death and you all are no match for me" Siieva snickered the continued

" if you lay down and surrender I can pledge to my superior to spare you lowly life while take away your power… if you don't I will fore your you die a slow and painful death. Also whatever you do, you cannot stop my great superior… and it is only in matter of short time, when our superior finds what it seeks and claim what is rightfully theirs.. and when the time comes, we will be able to unleash the greatest power of all and lock up our greatest foe, with the help of our allies from other dimensions and timeline victory is only to be ours.. I advise you to lay low and surrender…. I offer this once.. I will however let you think about this.." Siieva scoff

" that day and that time shall never come.. not over my dead body and I have not been dead for centuries and egons" a voice declared and heels could be heard clacking against the marble floor of the mall.

" and who will you be?" Siieva asked rather annoyed

""My guardian deity is a planet floating in time and space, solider of revolution, Sailor Pluto" Pluto announced and appeared

" ah well if it isn't the Guardian of Time gate the great Sailor Pluto herself, wait, I thought Pluto was demoted"Siieva mocked

" bleh it doesn't matter, no matter what those meanies at IAU said, pluto's power will always remain and Pluto will always be a planet" sailor moon boasted and stuck her tongue out in reality not sure if it was true, but knew at least if Setsuna can transform even if Pluto was not really a planet she was at least still had her powers

"well it was great meeting you all however this shall be it today.. " Siieva said then with a snap of fingers he disappeared

" bleh it doesn't matter, no matter what those meanies at IAU said, pluto's power will always remain and Pluto will always be a planet" sailor moon boasted and stuck her tongue out in reality not sure if it was true, but knew at least if Setsuna can transform even if Pluto was not really a planet she was at least still had her powers

" Chimera finish them" Siieva said, his lord had told him not to worry about resistance and he had come to attention there were mage warriors on this rural planet but they were not powerful enough, but he had not know how many of them there really was and although he was sure his powers were superior to theirs, it was best to retreat and be cautious and plan. He waved his fan and he disappear and left was a trail of ashes.

"CHIMERA" the monster shouted

"attention back to this thing, it's not firnedly, at least had rather 'predictable' direction of attacks this one,, none" Jupiter said heaved and jumped as the chimera already released an attack

"this thing is rather ugly" Venus comment

" Mars Flame Sniper" Mars exclaimed and released an attack only the serpent part of the monster spit out some poison and Mar's attack disappear, not even smoke remained

" huh?"Mars exclaimed taken aback

" be careful!" Mercury said seeing the serpent spit poison at marks direction, she ran towards mars, pushed her out of the way and released a bubble freeze, she did catch the creature off guard and was able to freeze the poison as the rest of them sighted in relief.

"well that about ends the battle, the question is where is Mars and Tuxedo Mask?" Sailormoon asked to no one in particular

" not to mention we need to go check on Jupiter" Mercury added

" No need to wonder I am here, sorry for the holdup, it 's a rater long and sort of complicated subject, I need to discuss with all of you, we should meet at the temple" a deep masculine voice said

" Tuxedo Mask, you're okie!" Sailormoon exclaimed and heaved a sight of relief

" Sorry to ave you worried.." Tuxedo Mask replied then look around

" I'm here as well, I also ran into a situation that hell me up, its time we have a meeting" Sailor Mars said and stepped forward

" then we'll go grab Jupiter.." Uranus and Neptune said

" it's okie we'll go, you guys are battle wary, sorry we did not step into help, but we wanted to observe how you guys hold up against the enemy" a new voice spoke up

" Maker?" Venus asked

" yo" Fighter said and smiled

"we're here on a mission sent by our princess, and also to deliver a message to the princess of white moon, future queen of Crystal Tokyo" Healer began

" ugh." Sailormoon began slight taken aback and rather confused

" In any case we should discuss this at the temple with you guys, we'll go get Jupiter, we'll see you all at the temple in abot half an hour, Ja Ne" Fighter said and waved, then the three Star Lights was gone ina quick flash

" That must have been the Legendary Star Lights.." a new voice squealed

" Who do we have this time: Uranus asked rather a bit annoyed

"Chibimoon?" Sailormoon asked and turn around

" hai everyone I'm here to fight along side al of you" Chibimoon exclaimed

" Small Lady glad to see you arrive safely.." Pluto began

" Yes Puu" Chibimoon smiled then gave Pluto a look telling her not to worry about the Quartets

" Well guess we have no choice but to go, plus this battle was rather.." Uranus began then stopped, her spirit being slightly dampered by the hard fought battle, in which she knew they almost lost

45 Minutes after the battle, at Temple

" thanks for bringing me.. but my strength is all better now.." Jupiter said smiling at Maker

" no problem, look the rest of the gals are here" Maker exclaimed smiling

"let's de-transform by the trees" Venus said moving her head form side to side to check out the area

All the girls de-transformed back to their civilian forms, except Haruka, Michelle and Hotaru, who arrived in Haruka's yellow sport car and it wouldn't be very wise if the public caught three sailor senshi driving or sitting inside a yellow sports car, all the public had to do was memorize the car's license plate and track them down who they were that way. It was too much of a risk. Setsuna was no where to be found, but the rest had guess she was probably in Raye's room at the shine, since all she had to do was open a portal, and walk through. Traveling for the time senshi was an easy thing, relative to the rest of them.

In a few minutes everyone was gathered in Raye's room; well almost everyone Haruka sat beside Michelle almost right in front of the door, with Hotaru to Michelle's right. Setsuna sat beside Hotaru and the next was chibi-Usa. Next to Chibi-Usa, was Mina and next to Mina was Raye, then it was Serena sitting beside Darien. To the right of Darien was Amy then next to Amy was Takkie,, Seiya and Yaten, then next to Yaten was Lita who was the one that sat to the left of Haruka. Diana was sitting by Chibi-Usa's feet while Luna and Artemis sat together by Serena's feet. There was tea close to everyone's feet and food was placed in the middle of the circle. But at this time, even Serena was not eating; instead everyone sitting in the circle was very quiet and they all looked around at each othr expecting someone else other than themselves to talk.

" Okie I think we have enough sitting around… let's get this started" Haruka suddenly spoke up

" well how about we organize this out first.." Amy began and everyone gave her a look

" well it'll be better right there's obviously a few pressing concerns but if we all jump from topic to topic it will be too confusing, and why don't we introduce ourselves first, I know most of us know each other now, but we're using English names some of us sound quite different and plus the Star Lights don't know Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Usa don't know Star Lights.. " Amy began with a bit of sheepish look on her face.

So a quick introduction was made, with Seiya falling flat on her face nearly knocking her tea over when he was told that Chibi-Usa was Serena's and Darien's future daughter, and even Yaten was caught off surprise when Diana was introduced as Artemis and Luna's daughter which caused Luna to blush a deep shade of red, clearly visible even with her dark fur.

" well than now that's done, why don't we start with why Mars and Tuxedo Mask was late, then we can figure out why Chibi-Usa and the Star Lights are here and Pluto then we can discuss about the enemy" Amy offered

" I think Amy had it well planned… now.. Raye or Darien .. one of you can start us off" Luna requested

"Lady first" Darien offered and Raye sighted that was what she was afraid.. she wasn't sure how to make of the situation, she was still in a daze.

" Okie, here goes, after I received the message, I tried to transform but I couldn't (gasp were heard across the room) don't worry, it was because Queen Serenity, that's Princess Serenity's mother, previous Queen of the Moon Kingdom and Serena is Princess Serenity reincarnated (seeing the blank face of the Star Lights) came to me with a message " Raye began explained pausing to let everyone digest what she said

" So what was her message…?" Mina asked quietly

" there is an evil coming greater than all evil we have fought in the past combined, there is help coming but don't expect the help to help us defeat the enemy, basically saying we can't just sit back and expect our help to defeat this evil and nor should we think that now that we have help here, the evil will be dusted easily, and I guess the help she was referring to are the Star Lights and Chibi-Usa" Raye said thoughtfully

" was there anything else?" Michelle spoke up thinking Queen Serenity must have also said more in her message

" Queen Serenity said and I quote her directly 'The sailor soldiers of this sol system must achieve another level of power; in-order to achieve this power, look deep within your hearts then you will achieve the level of power' that is what she said directly" Raye exclaimed then sighted still a bit annoyed with the vagueness of the message

" but that is so vague.. or maybe that's just me.." Lita began

" that's what I said to the Queen too, not to be rude, but then she didn't explain future and left, she only told me to take care of the princess for her… " Raye huffed

" I'm sure the Queen has her reason" Artemis began

" I know but it's just frustrating, then she left and I was able to transform, but when I got here, the battle was over.." Raye said apologetically and then she looked over at Darien

" I had a somewhat similar experience.." Darien began

" you got a vision from Queen Serenity as well? How come you guys didn't see each other? And how come Serena didn't get the vision then?" Mina asked in a rush

" Mina let him continue" Amy reprimanded

" opps sorry" Mina smiled sheepishly

" no, I got a visit from my Generals.." Darien began then stopped wondering what the inner senshi's reaction would be and of course Serena's

" you mean the same Dark Kingdom Generals…" Amy asked almost as disbelief

" Yes, as in Jadite, Zoicite, Kunzite, and Nephrite" Darien replied

"Why would they make a vision to you, they betrayed you.." Lita said with bitterness in her voice

" they didn't want to, they were influenced by Metallica and Beryl's magic and mislead. When they betrayed they made a pledge that for all eternity their bodies and soul is sold to the Dark Kingdom, and so now their bodies are casted inside crystal coffin, so but with the help and forgiveness of Queen Serenity, she was able to start to undo what happened due to their false pledge" Darien explained

" False pledge what's that?" Mina asked all surprised

" I think it's trying to tell us that, because they were mis-lead especially by black magic, the pledge they made is not absolute, so it can be override" Michelle explained

" Yes, that's exactly what is it, their bodies are now in crystal coffins, where I don't know, but they said if I seek their help I will be able to find them.. with these stones" Darien said then reached into his inner coat pocket and grabbed 4 stones, each coloured different

" You're gonna talk to stones?" Yaten asked incredulously raising his eyebrows

" I was gonna say the same thing.." Haruka said her eyebrows also crocked up

" That's what they told me,.. but I know right now If I summon them they wouldn't come out, so I couldn't show you.." Darien explained he had a rather pensive look on his face

" And why would that be.." Artemis asked which earned a slap from Luna thinking how dense he is

" Ouch what was that for?" Artemis yeowled in pain rubbing the back of his cat head with his paw

" I don't think they want to face the senshi, or not yet at least.." Darien explained

" and that would be.?" Yaten asked (voicing his confusion that the other two lights, Hotaru and Chibi-Usa feel)

"well it's definitely not us, so something must had happened before we arrived" Michelle explained then shrugged

" Ahh" Seiya replied in acknowledgement

" they were our enemies, our first enemies, so I still don't trust them" Lita exclaimed rather pissed off

" which is why they don't want to come out Lita " Serena said smiling

"Serena are you not mad?" Lita asked furious and confused

"Yeah meatball head, you can't be too forgiving and loving all the time" Raye reprimand

" but they were under influenced and take Nephrite for example, even when he was under the dark magic, he showed he still had a human side, he never wanted to hurt Naru in the end, in his last few attack he always went soft when he saw Naru, if one thing you guys should have learned from now ad if you don't you should learn is, forgiveness may not solve all problems but forgiveness certainly solve more problems then hatred. In order to for us to heal our enemies and to help them return to the right path, we must first forgive them, if not it will be an endless path of destruction, I understand punishment must be served sometimes and sometimes elimination must happen, but we have to take a grain of salt with a grain of sand " Serena exclaimed

The room stayed silent until Haruka broke the silence with something many of them wouldn't have thought would come out of her mouth

" I have to say, because of Serena's pure love of life, her forgiveness, her believes, we have won a lot of battles that way. She's right, but that's not to say we shouldn't be cautious, not just with the generals but with everyone else" Haruka said

" Which is also reason why we want to apologize for the way we treated you " Michelle added looking at the Star Lights

" Well apology accepted, I think if we switch position we might have done the same thing" Takiki exclaimed

" Well I would like to make an extended apology to Seiya, you see for one, we are the outer senshi of this sol system, we stand a guard protecting the princess and the extended alliances from the outer reaches of this solar, it is our job to eliminate threat from anyone and anything outside of this solar system, so when you guys came, at the same time as Galaxia we were on guard, we don't know if we could trust you, our uttermost objective is to protect our princess… and I was extra harsh at you because you were hitting on Serena, that in effect would disrupt the time line… " Haruka explained

" I understand, but first you can't blame me for being attracted to such a lovely young lady (which caused Serena to blush a deep shade of red) second I didn't know she had a boyfriend at first and when I found out she did, I didn't know he wasnn't able to reach out to her because his star seed was stolen, I just thought he was being a jerk…and of course I understand your duty to protect your princess, we would do the same, and if you came to Kinmoku and then asked us to help you fight some enemy, I wouldn't trust you either, so apology accepted" Seiya said and extended his hand and Haruka extended her hand out and shook it.

While this whole exchanged happened, Mina had stayed silent, her eyes had a slight far away look and her aura if anyone can actually feel it was different. This change was largely left unnoticed by everyone in the room, except for two pairs of eyes. Artemis and Yaten's but neither had voiced out their concern, both had the same sentiment about exposing Mina's change in emotion and option of silence.

" Okie. Now that's sorted out, next why are you guys here, same thing goes to Chibi-Usa, although you do make regular visits.. Amy began, trying to get the meeting back to order, not that it was out of order, but just more concentration on pressing matters.

" we are sent here by our princess.." Yaten began then looked at Takiki and Seiya

" We are sent here to deliver a message to your, our princess told us, the Sailor Senshi of this sol system along with us must immediately set out on a mission to find 4 sacred bells, then these 4 bells will join together to form one big sacred bell..but what it does we're not too sure…" Seiya began

" What are these 4 small bells call and what is this big bell call?" Artemis asked his tail waving behind him

" the 4 small bells are called chalice of Imbloc and the big bell is called the sacred chalice of Litha " Seiya replied

" Imbolc and Litha, these terms all sound familiar" Raye said

" If I'm not mistaken,Imbolc is one of the four principal festivals of the Irish calendar, celebrated either at the beginning of February or at the first local signs of Spring. Originally dedicated to the goddess Brigid " Amy explained

" Okie… is there anything more on that?" Luna asked hopping onto Amy's lap

" That's all I know off the top of my head, however I can do a search on the computer, it should give us more background information.." Amy said the paused, she then promptly took out her Mercurian palm top and started typing away.

"Fire and purification are an important aspect of this festival. Brigid (also known as Brighid, Bríde, Brigit, Brìd) is the goddess of poetry, healing and smithcraft. As both goddess and saint she is also associated with holy wells, sacred flames, and healing. The lighting of candles and fires represents the return of warmth and the increasing power of the Sun over the coming months." Amy read off the palm top

" well that's interesting but I'm not sure how that is going to help us with our search on these bells…" Michelle said thoughtfully

" well at least we know what it's called right now, maybe all that information will lead us to somewhere later.." Hotaru chirped trying to lighten up the atmosphere

" I did some reading before we came here, the big sacred bell I think should call and awaken either the 'Sister of Cosmos' or has something to do with 'Star cauldron'" Taiki added

" okie… whose this 'Sister of Cosmos'? " Mina asked to no one

" we don't know… and we don't know but we are guessing it has to do with the legendary sailor solider who can fight the ultimate evil… " Yaten explained

" but wasn't Sailor Galaxia was the strong legendary Sailor Solider that seal chaos within herself then got corrupted?" Raye asked

" well I guess Sailor Galaxia was only strongest when this Sailor Solider was asleep… even back then it was not time for her to awaken??? Or maybe she wasn't born yet???" Taiki offered

" I already feel a headache coming and I thought everything was settled" Lita sighted

" well I wanna say this, Sailor Moon did defeat Sailor Galaxia so.. that already proves that Sailor Galaxia isn't the strongest.." Michelle reason

" that's true… I think maybe Sailor Moon, and Sailor Galaxia are parallel like if we rank them, but still one of them is slightly stronger.. and so this being is either parallel to Sailor Moon and Sailor Galaxia or a level ahead of them…" Hotaru began

" Wait what do you mean?" Serena asked not following

" its like 'us' the outer senshi we are parallel in rank, but as the soldier of destruction and rebirth I would be identified as the strongest, but the leadership role isn't with me, the leader of the outer senshi is Sailor Uranus, and in some ways Uranus is stronger than me.. but what I'm alluding to is, sometimes what we're identified with isn't what we really are and also maybe Sailor Galaxia is short on something compared to this other mystery warrior.. if there is one.." Hotaru explained

" I think I fathom what she is getting at.. but it is still rather a complicated situation…" Raye began and looked around the room, everyone kind of nodded and had a thoughtful look on their face.

" Well, I'm going to have to do some research.. and that star cauldron thing… " Amy began and took out a pad of sticky notes and pencil and scribble some notes, her Mercurian computer sitting by her feet as well.

" Okie… Guess we can go look for these 'bells' (Mina gestured with her fingers) for now, and we'll have to go do research, of course our main source will have to come from our brain Amy, since she does have the computer, but maybe we can all pitch in and look, like Libraries and what not.." Mina suggested then shrugged her shoulders

" that would be a good idea, I'll talk with the generals when I get home, maybe they'll know something… " Darien added then looked around

There was a pause of silence which seems like eons to some of them… so finally Chibi-Usa took this as her que to talk

" I came to help aid the senshi of this time to fight the evil. There are things I can't say because it will disrupt the timeline, but there are concerns in the future and Crystal Tokyo's council as well as their alliances across the galaxy all agreed someone needs to return to the past, being a descendent of Neo-Queen Serenity, I am able to wield the power of the Ginzuishou, which is very important incase Serena is knocked out for extended period of time or if something… bad happens to her.. Anyways in time things will clear up, even I'm not sure. But All I know is I am needed here…" Chibi-Usa explained

" but you are the one and only descendent of Neo-Queen Serenity and King Edymion, you are next in line to take the throne, shouldn't you stay back in Crystal Tokyo, I fathom no matter how dangerous Crystal Tokyo and that time is, it is nothing compared to what we are going to face?" Haruka questioned looking at Chibi-Usa then at Setsuna

" but if I shall not return, Neo Queen Serenity and King Edymion can still rule, they are granted immortality they will not age nor die…also if anything happens now, then there will be no future anyways… " Chibi-Usa explained

" it does make sense, the King and Queen would not have gone through with it, if it didn't make sense, plus Pluto is here…" Michelle said thoughtfully casting Setsuna a look

" the King and Queen and even the ruling councils were reluctant to watch Small Lady come back, especially the ruling council but King Endymion and Queen Serenity said as long as it is Small Lady's wish and her own choice, then they respect her decision and they will let her come back, Kind Endymion, Queen Serenity, the ruling council and other members of the Silver alliance had numerous meetings about what to do about this threat, this current time frame is facing, it is also possible that representatives of Silver alliance in the future will sent help to this time line, although nothing was set in stone when we left, members of the Silver Alliance still needs to report back to their own planet or star system and work things out." Diana added

" so you are saying we may be receiving help from the future from the Silver Alliance?" Darien asked wanting clarification

" that or sailor warriors from other planets and star system in this time line may feel the threat is big enough to sent help, right now these planets and star systems are not part of the Silver Alliance with Earth like they are in the 30th century, but even in the 30th century there are planets and star systems that are close by but had chosen not to join the Silver Alliance" Diana explained

" well I'm not sure if I'm happy about help coming.." Lita began

" Wy is that?" Hotaru asked looking at Lita

" It's great that we'll have help to defeat the enemy but then that would also mean, the enemy is so strong we are not capable of defeating it ourselves, for us it is a destiny we have to fulfille to protect the prince and princess and this planet, but think about the normal everyday individuals that will get caught up in this, say when they are looking for the sacred bell or them just being in the vicinity of the battle ground and what if unfortunately we fail, what will be the outcome of this planet? Of the people here?" Lita asked gravely

" that is why we will not fail" Serena announced determined

" Okie, now that's sorted, another pressing matter would be the Pluto is now demoted and no longer considered a planet" Amy said anxiously looking around the room

" Yeh we saw it on the news this morning, but since you still have your powers, that means the International Astronomical Union (IAU) had it all wrong…" Hotaru began then stopped not sure what else to say but she had hope in her small voice

" I knew this would happen, first of all the vote itself was pass through but less than 1/5th of the total conference was there voting. Second with the current technology the humans have developed it is very hard for scientist to grasp what is really out there in space, they don't have the means to really collect viable and extensive information. Third even if humans had developed the technology this is an issue that is far more than simply science and with humanity's tendency to make organizational systems for things beyond their comprehension is a faulty gesture at best. Forth and lastly, another reason I and the rest of you should not be concerned about this is because even back in the Silver Millennium, Pluto was a bit different then the rest of the 'planets'. My duty was not a protector of the silver millennium, I had not bid my loyalty as protector of Princess Serenity, my duty is guard the line of Serenity until the current princess, Serena. Basically I had to make sure the lineage of Serenity was not broken until Serena, the last heir of the moon kingdom, last pure royal bloodline of Serenity. I was to stood guard because I was Guardian of Pluto, my birthright is to control and watch time. During the fall of Silver Millennium I was not part of the battle and during the enons of time as each of you were reborn I the sole warrior stood guard mostly at the Gate of Time, and I watched each and everyone of you reincarnated, that is why I am not like any of you, I am the same warrior that stood during the first line of serenity was born, I existed before the Silver Millennium. When Serena takes the throne as Neo Queen Serenity, in the 30th century I am still that same warrior as well. And of course I continued my job guarding the Gate of Time" Setsuna explained

" but why until only Serena. Did you have to make sure the lineage of serenity was not broken?" Lita asked confused

" The lineage of serenity was produced as a result of the Ginzuishou, so each serenity is in fact a carbon copy of the previous, created by the Ginzuishou, and 'Serenity' is a magical being… a mystified magical being created by let me reiterate by the Ginzuishou " Setsuna elucidated

" hmm so Princess Serenity, Serena here, I guess, fell in love with Prince Edymion, reincarnated Chiba Mamorou also now known as Darien, so they had Chibi-Usa, hence the next generation was produced not by one person or Magical being with a crystal but by the love of two people or one person and one magical reincarnated being, hence the line of Serenity is not needed to continue.." Michelle analyzied out loud

" but Chibi-Usa isn't a pure 'Serenity' so isn't there a consequence to that then?" Taiki asked a bit baffled

" yes, that Is why she was not given the name Serenity, but Usagi, to honor her mother's past self, and as for the consequences, it's in the stars to know and even I cannot discern what will the eventual consequences be, or at least they are not unlocked yet" Setsuna answered

" There is another reason why the line of Serenity stops at Serena, but m memories are not unlocked yet, I guess it is not time and Oh no pun intended" Setsuna said grinning, but behind that grin she held a thought, she was only half lying, it really wasn't time for them to know yet, but there is a reason why the line of Serenity stopped at Serena, but they didn't need to know why, they didn't need to know Serena had a direct connect to Cosmo itself. And to her, her sole duty is to watch so that the line of Serenity until Serena was not broken and when Serena was born to guard over her until the time was right. To Pluto aside from guarding the Gate of Time which was her birth right, protected Serena until the time came are the 2 sole purpose of her existence and everything else, even the life of Small Lady was expendable. It was sad for her to admit but yes, even the life of precious Small Lady was expendable. But these are secrets only she knew. She wasn't going to let the others know, letting them know would only make them upset and furious. And that she could not risk and did not want.

" so who do you think this new enemy is?" Haruka asked cutting into Setsuna's thought

" we don't know, all we know is what we told you, but the minion the enemy sent out, Seeiva..he's very powerful" Taiki spoke softly

" that Seeiva guy's mission seem to be coming out and testing to see our abilities and see how many of us there are and to declare war upon us.." Hotaru exclaimed a little mad

" he was doing a scouting report for his master and delivering the message of intention his master has to us…" Mina said softly

" wel at least we didn't show them our full force, Mars and Tuxedo Mask wasn't there, Chibi-moon wasn't there… star lights wasn't there, Pluto wasn't there… we weren't a full team, not to mention I was knocked out for a bit.. it shouldn't be that bad right guys?" Lita asked not sure if she was trying to convince the others or herself

" well she's right and we still have additional help" Chibi-Usa said brightl.y

" huh? " they all asked confused

" Girls, come in, Presenting to you, the Amazon Quartets" Chibi Usa said cheerfully and the door flew open

" I'm Sailor Ceres, some of you know me as Ceres-Ceres" the pink haired one said.

"Sailor Juno, civilian name, Jun-Jun" The green haired girl said.

"Sailor Vesta, call me Vesu-Vesu" She was the neo-scout with red hair.

"I'm Palla-Palla also known as Sailor Palla" the hyper and youngest of the amazon quartet added cutely.

" its.." Serena began but couldn't continue

" them.." Mina began also coulnd't finish

" the girls from the circus? The dead moon circus?" Amy exclaimed and everyone looked at her, while she blushed a deep shade of red

" we are the Amazon Quartets, protectors and Guardian of Princess Usagi" Vesu-Vesu explained

" when you saw us, we were not suppose to be awoken yet, we are protectors of Princess Usagi, we are as some refer to us the Neo-Sailor senshi, hence we should not appear until the 30th century, we were placed asleep by Queen Serenity and due to that our souls were in Elysion, when we were in Elysion playing Queen Nehellenia said she was holy being like Queen serenity, she was looking for us but gotten lost and tired and fell asleep. But our laughter woke up her up and lead her to us, by request of Queen Serenity we were to be woken up and Queen Nehellenia said as a personal thanks from her for waking her up with beautil laujghter she personally would Queen Nehellenia and the rest of the Dark Moon Circus invaded Elysion, she found us and awoken us early, she tricked us and said she was holy being like Queen Serenity and it was under Queen serenity request she grant us the power and the ability to dream forever, never growing old " Ceres-Ceres explain

"but we were fooled, we were not suppose to be woken up yet and Queen Nehellenia and the rest of the Dead Moon Circus was already invading Elysion. We were not sure what to do at first but she came to us in a mirror, when we picked up the mirror to get a closer look at her, we were transformed instantly " Jun-Jun continued

" when we help you defeat the Dark Moon circus and Queen Nehellenia, we had started to clean our mistake and sins, and when Usa left to go back to the 30th century, shortly after we were approached by Pluto, Neo Queen Serenity is willing to give us a second chance to redeem our mistakes, but we would have to go to 30th century, because we were never suppose to be part of this time-line anyways" Vesu-Vesu elaborated

" so we took the opportunity and so we arrived in beautiful Crystal Tokyo of the 30th century and then we found out we were not only forgiven but treated very nicely, we were to be protectors of Usa, in Crystal Tokyo we trained everyday and play too of course" Palla Palla squealed with a toothy smile, giving all the older girls a cute smile

" ehh before we continue please excuse Palla Palla, she is rather, childish.." Cere-Ceres said embarrassed

" Oh no it's all right, she's very cute and adorable" Michelle said smiling petting Palla Palla on the head

" oh boy I can just see how she is going to be spoil rotten even further.." Jun Jun muttered under her breath to Vesu-Vesu and Ceres-Ceres in responds the other 2 nodded their heads

The meeting continued for a bit longer, but the conversation on battles, enemies and all that dwindle to almost nothing, instead replaced by plans for the night and the rest of the weekend. Finally half an hour later, everyone decided it was enough for the day so everyone broke off into their own groups. The Quartets were leaving with the Outers as it has been decided while they were here, they would live with the Outers, since it would be hard to explain to Serena's parent while four extra kids will be staying with them. Although Chibi-Usa could easily use Luna-P to alter their mind some more, another fact was, there was no room at Serena's place. The happy 'family' of Serena, Darien and Chibi-Usa was going to go have snacks. Ami and Takii was going to go to the library to do research with Luna tagging along. Seiya and Yaten was left with the task to go to the mall and supermarket to stock up their apartment. Raye and Lita had eagerly volunteered to help, Seiya didn't mind but Yaten was rather annoyed. This all left Minako alone. Everyone was actually surprised she wasn't the first one to volunteer to go to the mall and supermarket with Seiya and Yaten; the blonde simply plaster on a smile and waved them off saying she had a family thing she absolutely must attend or would be skinned alive. Satisfy with her answer everyone left. While everyone was chattering and leaving the shrine and walking down the steps, Mina lingered back, she even pretend to bend over to tie her shoe-lace so Raye will past her and she will be the last out of the group going down the steps.

Mina walked quietly down the street, Artemis trailed beside her, knowing something was bothering her but wasn't sure how to ask her. Silence filled the air as the two walked.

" thanks for not ratting me out Artemis, you know I have no family meeting I have to attend" Mina said softly turned and kneeled down to face Artemis

" Mina I have been with you for so long, I consider you like a child of my one in some sort of way, although I know you are not a cat, I can tell something was bothering you, but if you did not want to share with anyone else then I respect your decision, I hope that when you have thought this through you will at least come and talk to me, not in detail if you don't want to, but just let me know you are okie?" Artemis asked

" I will, let's walk to the park okie? " Mina said with a half hearted smile, picking up Artemis, she put him on her shoulders and stood up.

" hey you guys go ahead first I remember something I have to do" Yaten said suddenly

" we just got to Earth last night what exactly is there that you need to do?" Seiya asked annoyed

" quite being a nosy brat and mind your own business.. I'll give you a ring later and meet you guys at the mall or supermarket okie? Alright bye!" Yaten said hurriedly and sped off in the opposite direction

Yaten walked briskly down the sidewalk trying to catch a certain blonde with a red bow in her hair.

In a pool of deep blackness and nothingness, a swirl of black morphed into solid mass, shaped like a human male. This figure had dark blue hair with metallic streaks, deep dark eyes and dark red crimson lips. His skin tone was regular, not too light not too dark, but he had a slight tan to his look. He stood about six feet and 2 -3 inches tall. He had on black suit with black dress-shirt with a silver tie. He sat cross legged in nothingness but really there was a throne there 'a nothingness throne'. Who was this being? This being was Erebus. His lips curled into a smirk as he thought about his plans.

"Mina! " A voice echoed to Mina's ear as she was walking over to the park bench. She turned around and looked, standing 10 feet away from her was a silvery haired man; for a second it seems that the world had stopped. He's dead wasn't he? No he was coming back. Coming back to ruined everything, he and the rest of them were coming back to ruined their lives again. No way in hell was she ever going to believe him and forgive him. His betrayal had hurt. And when he slain that sword into her, she had said goodbye. It was goodbye forever. There was no way she will forgive him not even if the rest of them did. And she curses Aphrodite for this sick curse.

" Mina?"a hand suddenly waved infront of her face and she snapped out of it.. "huh" was her first replied that she was back on planet earth, then she shook her head. It was not him. It was someone else and that someone else was Yaten. So he did not stand before her at all. He didn't stand before her to ask for forgiveness or explain. Not that there was anything to explain or any need to. No he didn't stand there. He was not there. And he was never there.

" Mina are you okie?" Yaten asked softly

" yeah of course.. ehehe just wanted to walk in the park before I join my family ehehe gotta go..!" Mina said quickly wanting to get away

" Mina stop lying, I know you don't have a family gathering. If you don't want to talk about it that's fine, but it's not healthy to act this way. I came hoping maybe I can talk to you but if you don't want to say something. I can offer you silent companionship" Yaten said softly while grabbing her hands

" Yaten.." Mina began then sigthed and nodded

The two walked over to the bench and sat Artemis stayed quiet the whole time, in truth he was a bit hurt Mina might explain to Yaten what was wrong and not him, but then he was just relief that there might be a chance that Mina would open up.

The two sat on the bench with Artemis between them. They sat in silence, the sun was slowly setting and I filled the sky with vibrant colours of orange, pink, yellow, purple, red with still tinges of blue here and there with meshes of white cloud flowing.

Finally what seems like eternity, Mina spoke.

" the generals of Prince Endymion or Darien as you now know him as, were loves of the inner senshi in all our previous lives " Mina said quietly her eyes caste down

" Mina you retained your memories, but how is that possible the rest of them.." Artemis began then stopped

" wait what do you mean by ALL past previous lives?" Yaten also asked (while Artemis was asking his question)

" I'll explain how I know in a bit Artemis and when I say ALL past previous lives I mean, ALL. Sailor Venus has been reincarnated more than once, when the time line ends or when the stars die out, Sailor Venus is reincarnated same thing as everyone else. Time is endless, continuous yet it is not. Take George Washington for example, he lived in linear time, like now, so he had to reach death at a certain point. But he is reincarnated after he dies, just in his case he's not reincarnated into George Washington again, he could be reincarnated into a bird? A Tree? Joe blow, Bob or Mary Sue. With us we are always reincarnated into our Sailor Senshi, Sailor Venus for me, Sailor Mars for Raye and etc. I'm not sure if we have the same name in the past but who she looked the same as me. And who she was is essentially me. I couldn't explain to someone who goes to church about this, but you as a Star child must be able to comprehend what I am saying. A star always chooses a child, when the star dies, the chosen one is either reincarnated or a new child was chosen to represent that star or planet when the planet or star itself reborns. " Mina explained

" okie, I understand and.." Yaten asked

"before the last battle of the silver millennium, all the inner Sailor Senshi fell in love with one of Prince Endymion's general, as the last battle was approaching, the generals turned against Endymion and along with rest of the Dark Kingdom, they attacked the moon " Mina raspy voice let out

Yaten and Artemis waited but Artemis could already guess what was bothering Mina then.

" They kill us, the slain of that blade into me, was the deepest wound that had ever strike me. The hit I took before I die fighting The Dark Kingdom at the north pole or the hit I took from Sailor Galaxia is nothing compared to that. He promised me forever and an eternity, but why. Not only did he betray the prince and consequently the princess and Queen Serenity, but he betrayed me. They betrayed all of us and now they want us to forgive them. Forgive them like nothing happen? Like they did not kill us? I was the last one standing. I saw Mercury then Mars then Jupiter fall in front of my eyes. And they especially him want us to believe them now? To seek forgiveness. I swear on Cupid's bed and Aphrodite's throne that…" but Mina didn't get to finish as Yaten's lips were upon hers and her eyes widen. His kiss was firm but not invading, it was comforting but it was not sweet nor bitter.

" don't say something that you will regret one day. If this happens then it must be fate either it is to extend that vow of love that was denied or to seal the wound, fate has a way of entering our lives. If you don't do it for yourself or for your prince and princess, do it for me at least.." Yaten said in a whispery voice while holding on Mina's chin

" Do it for you?" Mina asked rhetorically almost in a dream like state but not quite

" I like you mina, no matter how I deny it I wouldn't say I love you, but I feel strong affection for you, You may be blonde, and ditzy, not as klutzy as Serena, but not far behind. But you are also someone passionate, loving and a fierce warrior. You and I are from different planets it may eventually never work out, but we can visit each other and you will always hold a special place in my heart. In order to love again, you must be able to forgive and maybe forget. You cannot hold onto this anger forever, it will slowly consume you and you will slowly crumble away. Plus the solider of love and beauty shouldn't be carrying this much hate and anger anyways" Yaten said then leaned back

" You like me?" Mina asked

" yeh, something about you, I'm not in love with you.. not yet at least, I think maybe how Taiki feels about Amy. There's this special feeling there. It is nothing like what Darien and Serena has, or Haruka and Michelle or how Seiya feels for Serena and it probably doesn't equal to what your past life shared with those Generals before they turn evil but no there is a certain fondness there and I wouldn't want to see you crumble away and I bet Artemis or your other friends wouldn't either.." Yaten said then sighted looking up at the sky, wondering what was it that made him go so deep, he had never planned to let the blonde know in the end he couldn't be with her. But maybe it was those sad blue but round blue eyes that looked into his or the way her body looked so fragile as she stood there and her golden hair swaying in the wind.

" That was very nice, I didn't expect you to.. but none the less its so hard, its like I cn still feel the wound…and as for why I remember, only because I am Aphrodite, or what's the closest thing there is to her, I am the goddess of love and beauty, I know because of that and I'm sure the rest of them doesn't know, they only think they are evil and un-trustable because of our previous run in with the dark Kingdom" Mina said sighting

"Mina…" Artemis began then stopped not sure what to say

" it's okie Artemis, its part of who I am" Mina said and smiled briefly

" Well it's getting late we should go, but remember I'm always here to talk. Because Aphrodite to me always smiles not frown or cry and I meant what I said earlier" Yaten said stood up and offered his hand to Mina.

Mina took Yaten's hand and let him pull her up from the park bench.

" Thank you.. I guess I do feel better.." Mina said softly then looked towards the ground shuffling her feet a bit

" Always my pleasure, I'll walk you home" Yaten smiled and Mina nodded and smiled back. The first read smile since that morning when she was shopping.

On the way home Artemis was sitting on Mina's shoulder again, he looked up at Yaten while Yaten and Mina walked side by side. Catching each other's eyes. Artemis and Yaten each found new respect for each other as well as understanding. And as Artemis continued to look at Yaten's face from the side, he had a appreciative look. This appreciative look on the feline's face did not go unnoticed by Yaten who simply toss his head back a little and gave the cat a smile and a simple nod.


Somewhere in Darkness's haven,

"General Siieva" a voice echoed through the invisible door

" Yes?" Siieva asked

" Lord Erebus ask to speak to you" the voice revealed to him

" I'll be right out once I make myself look presentable" Siieva said and sighted as he got up, stretch out his limbs and stood in front of a stream of black smoke. The black smoke materialize into what humans will call a mirror. He looked at himself. Deciding the cape he had was not needed. He straighten out his Arabic style shirt and his black dress pants, he snapped his fingers and a pair of black dress shoes appeared on his feet. Running his hand through his hair, satisfy he walked out of his room, down a few different hallways (making turns along the way), he appeared by the entrance of the throne room. He turned his head around looking for a messenger but saw none and lifted his hand to knock but was interrupted by his lord

" Siieva, you can come in" Lord Erebus's resonated through the invisible door

Siieva reached up and pushed open the invisible door open. He walked up and stopped a few feet away from Lord Erebus who of course was sitting lazily on the throne.

" Lord Erebus" Siieva kneeled and bow respectfully

" no need to be formal, you may stand" Lord Erebus said and beckoned with his hands for Siieva to stand up

" Thank You my Lord" Siieva replied graciously

" Siieva how was the errand I sent you out today?" Lord Erebus asked

"Just as you have predicted my lord, today when I sent out a monster to see if there was any resistance, there was 7 beings called the sailor senshi that resisted. Two was there early at the battle, Venus and Jupiter they did not do much attack. Their energy level I would say is still a threat but not a huge problem, especially if they are alone or just in pairs. The minion I sent out was Chimera, a lower grade underlings of mine. Venus and Jupiter held their own but Chimera did not attack full force with just the two of them there, to Chimera, it was more like sweating away lazy flies or yawning." Siieva said

" but Venus and Jupiter was still standing since Chimera only devoted so little attention and energy at them?" Lord Erebus questioned

" Yes my lord, if Chimera had even given them 10 more attention, they would have been severely injured or dead. However as I have mentioned, Jupiter and Venus did not attack much, they were mostly on defense, Jupiter although seem to be the stronger warrior in terms of strength, Venus seems to be more experience and thoughtful in terms of battle strategy, in future battles she may be able to use that to stall time and hence weaken our energy" Siieva analyzed

" that might be a concern but continue" Lord Erebus motioned

" the next three warrior that showed up was Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. These 3 are the ones I will be concern. They had openly challenged me especially Uranus and Neptune. Uranus got quick speed and aim. Neptune is calm and greatly agile, Uranus takes the lead and Neptune follows with reinforcement, it would seem better to separate those two in battle. Saturn is a small warrior, but I sense in her a strong fierce aura, so strong it is almost akin to us. She seems to be able to control her powers very well as I sense she is even more powerful than Uranus and Neptune. Saturn did not participate much in the battle especially when the warrior Moon and Mercury arrived. Mercury seems to be the weakest. She stood off to the side typing away on what is to be a computer. She was the one that provided them a plausible answer to destroy chimera. Although weak, she is very critical to them as she is able to devise battle strategy and analyze whatever we sent out as them, Together with Venus, I believe they can easily come up with good battle plans and with the power level of Uranus, Neptune and Saturn, battles for us will waste a lot of energy, but clearly these are just my observations and please excuse my lack of analogy I had not had time to analyze today's battle and the enemies." Siieva said and bowed

" And what about this Moon warrior, could she be the legendary Sailor Moon?" Lord Erebus asked ignoring the last part of Siieva comment from earlier

" Ah yes my lord, that is what she had introduced herself, along with a very corny speech may I add" Siieva asked

" And what of her powers and energy.. she was able to defeat father. And even father had been able to take over the strongest warrior's mind and body.. I am very weary of this Sailor Moon, yet very interested in her" Erebus asked and cocked an eyebrow up

" well. SailorMoon, seems to be very clumsy and inexperience in battle however she had the highest positive energy level, her aura is unlike any others I have seen. I am not sure how she was able to defeat all those that came before her, maybe by sheer luck? I am not impressed with her battling ability, however she is rather determined and extremely positive. From logs that we have gathered in the past although Sailor Moon is not a good warrior, her determination, her love and her purity seems to be her strongest asset and what powers her to victory, not to mention logs have indicated she should be the Warrior that holds the legendary Ginzhous. " Sieeva said

" Should be?" Lord Erebus asked and cocked his eyebrows again

" Yes Logs are incomplete, so it is not 100 certain, I am sorry to disappoint you my lord. Also I believe today I did not meet all the warriors. However I believed even if all of them were there it wouldn't be a hard victory or even had chimera been defeated if the whole group of them showed up, sending out a stronger minion would still have destroyed them. The battle took almost an hour to finish and they had to combine their powers together to defeat chimera, even Sailor Moon could not defeat chimera on her own. " Siieva announced

" Do not underestimate these warriors, however due to the short amount of time I am rather impressed with your analysis. But remember these are the same warriors that had defeated the strongest corrupted warrior, Sailor Galaxia with Father Chaos ruling her body, we do not know the full extend of their powers yet and our foundation so far is not set. Plus our main mission isn't to defeat them, we have something greater to do, this is simply to estimate what type of resistance we will receive. It will be great to get them out of the way, but I do not want to waste energy and time on them, we have more pressing matters that needs to be preceded." Lord Erebus said in a stern voice

" I understand my lord, I will take my leave and writ out a complete analysis of today's errand and devise a plan to weaken our enemy and proceed with our goal at the same time, I already have a slight idea, but needs more planning" Siieva said and bowed

" Good, I do want to know what's this slight idea you have" Erebus asked with a evil gleam and smirk

" in our search for the sacred bells .." Siieva began and whispered into the Lord Erebus's ear. Erebus was seen nodding occasionally with a slight smirk on his face.

" That sounds like a good plan, you may take your leave I hope to hear good news from you " Erebus proposed

" Of course my lord" Siieva alleged with confidence. Siieva then bowed and turned and walked out of the thorn room. Erebus snapped his finger and a messenger appeared.

"Sent me General Ira and tell him I wish to speak to him" Erebus expressed coolly

" Yes my lord" the messenger said and bowed then in a flash disappeared from the thorn room, most probably in search of general Ira.

The Next few days nothing happened that suggested there was an enemy. It almost seems like it was a dream. But everyone knew better than this. And everyone was on guard. This was the calm before turbulence, violent chaos but everyone was glad for this small bit of silence as they all raced through the final few weeks of school. For those who were not in school, this was just the time for them to make preparations for times that were to be more hectic just beyond the horizon. The third-last week of high school was approaching for the inner senshi. Michelle and Haruka who are now students at University of Tokyo were busy with exam week as well. Hotaru 's classes was also winding down to the final month. It was decided by all the senshi that Chibi-Usa and the 4 quartet sisters were to stay home, and not attend school there was no point enrolling them in classes when there was only 3 in a half weeks of school left; this decision totally delighted the 5 youngsters of course with Chibi Usa, a use of little magic from Luna –P was needed so Serena's parent will agree. Everyone was still mystified about these 'sacred' bells no one knew anything about them.

For the enemy Siieva was quickly putting his organizing his plans. A good way to weaken the Senshi was to weaken them in numbers. While they were powerful it had occurred to him that they were not powerful enough to defeat the underling that he had sent out last time. Their strength and the ticket to their victory was ultimately teamwork and joining their attacks together. It was not in their plan to defeat the senshi just yet, although getting rid of them or weakening them will be must more convenient in their quest to find the sacred bells. He had mused over the fact why they had to find these sacred bells. Never getting the whole picture, he does know that if the sacred bell falls into the hands of the opposition they were somehow able to awaken a legendary warrior. How he did not know. The sacred bell he had proposed over and over in his own mind must be some sort of catalyst. While this was important, there was also another artifact that was needed, but what of that artifact is and what is does he has even less idea. He wasn't sure if there was even another general assigned to do the search as a lot of Generals are helping his lord reconstruct their ties with allies and what humans will say 'relatives'.

Looking over his data once more, the weakest warrior was probably Mercury, out of the ones he's seen, and he's been told there were others. But he rendered there shouldn't be anyone weaker than Mercury. While Mercury's power was in relative terms lower, she was also the brain of the group, it was she who came up with the solution to bring victory to their fight. Someone who can use their mind to manipulate the outcome of a fight must be eliminated. However it will be a tough task since after all she has their brains…..

Flipping the pages and glancing over, another interesting prospect that caught his eyes was Saturn, Warrior of planet of silence, soldier of death and rebirth. Silence and death; death would mean destruction, silence would come after destruction. It seems this warrior had a shade of dark side. It seems it might be possible to lure her to their side. Plus she was probably the strongest outside of that Sailor Moon warrior; at least out of all the ones that was there that day. Would it be easy, he pondered, she seem after all a child.

"hmm interesting, I wonder which one I should take away from their group, maybe I can take away both? Oh this is going to be fun" Siieva said with an evil gleam in his eyes and a smirk lingered on his lips dark crimson lips

Author's note:

Sorry everyone it took me a while to update, but I have been busy over the summer with summer class, then going back and forth between Toronto and Buffalo. Hopefully I'll have another update in 2weeks to 1 month's time.

If you notice, the story quality might not be so good (in terms of punctuation and grammar) sorry I read over it myself and fixed spellings and a bit of grammar/punctuation. but i've been looking at my own work for too long and I'm numb to the update so i couldn't edit it that good, I sent it to my betas but then they are busy over the summer and they also lost my update then i had to resent, then school started for them too, so hence the chapter is not edited by my betas. So please bare with me. I'll get it edit in the next 2 weeks. but please go ahead and read it , review and post comments okie?

Siieva was a name I made up based on Siva, A Indian mythological god

Siva- was a terrifying god of destruction in Hindu (Indian) mythology, a diety so formidable that people must flatter him to avert calamity

The monster name, Chimera was a Greek mythological monster,
Chimera-with a body that was one third lion, one third she-goat, and one third serpent, this creature was definitely one frightening beast.
(I've turn it so the front and back are heads of the lion and serpent respectively and the middle portion will be the she-goat.)

The 5 sacred small bells i've named them Imbolc, after Celtic (Irish) holiday celebration , the explaination I had at the top is basically what it is. I got it off the internet. so if anyone is more fimiliar with the holiday or whatever and I have stated anything wrong please let me know and I'll go back and change it. Anything wrong about the holiday background/origin i apologize right now. I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful. but I used 'Imbolc' it was given to me by Twilight Scribe on one of the forums, i asked for help coming up with names and such

I will come back and explain the other term " Litha" later.

Much thanks to Twilling Scribe for helping me come up with names and such.

So how's the story so far? I've almost done putting in the technical/background info into the story, next update will be some plot developement, some battle scenes. I know I'm lacking on romance scene except for the last bit with Mina and Yaten. I'm not sure if it will be there in the next update but next next update i promise for sure there will be romance. I want to jazz up the story with some plot and battle scenes first tho.

Anyways speaking of Mina and Yaten, how was that last bit in there? I actually didn't have that planned, i just threw that in, cuz I felt like it'll make the chapter round out better. I'm not sure what my pairings are so far.

hmm I'm gonna have another character appearance next chapter who? i'm not telling you winkz i don't know if its temporiarly or permanent.
