The wind whipped around the old temple's walls, cold for so early in fall. Usagi, Ami, Minako, and Makoto struggled to keep their skirts down as they ran up the stairs. Usagi's friend had waited for her to finish her test that she had missed yesterday. Seiya, Yaten, Taiki had to do final damage control about the rumor. Usagi still wanted to know who had spread that rumor, but more so she wanted to know why the Stars were here. She realized while trying to remember complicated formulas that she could better analyze other things, including how much Seiya had been avoiding the subject of why they had returned. Now Usagi wanted answers.
"Usagi! Are you OK?" Haruka asked when her and the others finished climbing the stairs to the temple.
"Much better." Usagi smiled to reassure her friends, even though she hadn't taken the pills the doctor had given her, and her head was hurting a lot.
"That's good. So where are the idols that we're here to see?" Haruka asked tersely.
"We're here, if that OK with you Haruka." Seiya replied as him and the other two finished walking up the stairs.
Usagi sighed. Her head was hurting way too much to deal with their issues. "Seiya. How did the press conference go?"
"It went well, they should leave you alone now. If they don't just let me know."
"Ok. Now that that's handled, why are you guys here?" Usagi went straight to the point and held Seiya's gaze.
Seiya smiled slightly and not breaking her gaze his face grew serious. "There is a new enemy, and we're here to help."
"What kind of enemy?" Luna asked jumping up on a hand rail. Seiya and the Stars stared at her.
"You…you can talk?" Yaten squeaked out.
"Yes. My name is Luna and that is Artemis and we are the guides for the Sailor Scouts here."
"Right… of course. Ummm the enemy is an entire race of people who came from one of our planets that is actually shared with your galaxy. They were banished there hundreds of years ago, and no one even knew if their race had survived. But when we returned home they had found new powers. Dark powers. They have a devise that travels using that dark power. Sailor Galaxia was able to use what was left of the power she had collected when she was evil to place a force field around our world that won't lift until this new enemy is gone. Our queen sent us here before the field closed. She said that she knew that the next stop for these people is here." Taiki explained.
"Do you know what this enemy looks like, or what they call themselves?" Setsuma asked. She seemed worried.
"Why? What are you thinking?" Seiya asked.
Setsuma's eyes widened in surprise, then she smiled. "You're smarter that Haruka says. I was just wondering if we had already faced them before."
"How would that be possible?" Rei asked.
"Everything has changed now Rei."
Usagi didn't even want to try to figure out what that meant, her head was already drumming so load her ear drums were going to pop. "So do you guy know what they looked like?"
"Well… I know that they are ruled by a king and queen. They have several royals, and an adviser." Yaten answered.
"Yeah and they come from Planet Nemesis." Seiya added.
"Planet Nemesis!" Usagi shouted. "Are you sure?"
"Usagi? Do you remember Planet Nemesis?" Ami asked.
"You guys don't? Well I guys that makes sense since I'm that one who was told from him… I couldn't forget him if I tried."
"What are you rambling about?" Rei asked.
"She is speaking for someone who shouldn't be existing for another ten thousand years." Setsuma replied.
"Who?" the inner and outer scouts asked.
"The Black Moon Clan…Price Demand." Usagi whispered, then sat down on the ground. Seiya rushed to her side while the others either stood still in shock or confusion.
"Who are they?" Haruka finally asked.
"They were the ones who attacked Crystal Tokyo and drove Chibbiusa here the first time. They followed her here and the scouts eventually fought and won against them. Prince Demand was obsessively in love with Neo Queen Serenity, and in turn Usagi. He kidnapped her on more than one occasion, and tried to trick her into loving him. Now I don't know who they are, or who this queen is. Prince Demand was single." Setsuma told them all.
Usagi was hugging her knees to her chest. How could they be coming here? How? "Setsuma. Can't you just take a peek and see if…if it's them in the future?"
"No Usagi. It doesn't work like that. I'm sorry."
"But I can't fight Death Phantom without Chibbiusa and the other silver crystal!" Usagi shouted the grabbed her head as pain vibrated through it. Seiya gathered her in his arms and stood.
"Now you know why where here. Meeting adjourned." He went to walk away with Usagi in his arms.
Haruka grabbed Seiya's shoulder. "Were do you think you're taking her? She's our responsibility. We are here to protect her from you." Haruka had a glint in her eye that dared Seiya to fight her.
"Haruka I'm taking her home. Obviously she's still hurt."
"Yeah because of you!"
"No because of Mamoru. He was the one who has hurt her mentally, emotionally, and physically. Now I'm taking her home." But Haruka didn't let go of his shoulder.
"Stop." Usagi said softly. "We need to save our strength for Demand. Haruka I know you are supposed to protect me from aliens, but as your princess and future queen, maybe, aren't you also supposed to do as I say?"
"Usagi, you trust people blindly. I don't."
"He's just like you! He wants to protect me; he wants to beat down anything dangerous near me. And I don't trust blindly, I'm just smart enough to be able to see someone for who they are. So please stop fighting."
"Usagi…" She sighed. "Fine, but I'll be watching you."
Seiya left with Usagi and took her home in his car.
