That wasn't part of the plan." Maker said.

"No it wasn't." Fighter agreed. "But she is our Princess. She makes the plan."

"She isn't even awake yet! And she's siding with the Fallen!" Maker protested.

"You haven't seen her power." Healer said. "Our Princess is truly her mother's daughter. She will be the one to defeat him."

"How do we know she is not her father's daughter?" Maker asked, earning a slap from Fighter.

"NEVER talk about her that way again! New Moon is nothing like that monster!" Fighter shouted. "You'll see! She'll awaken soon and then you'll see! Until then, it is your turn! Stage on!"

"You can't be serious." Ahiru said. "You don't really want to rescue the Fallen."

"I'm not letting them get taken by...whoever it is we're fighting." Kurai said.

"You aren't yet ready to know that." Ahiru said.

"You never tell me anything." Kurai said, walking into the school building, right into Taiki Kou.

"Oh. It's you." Taiki said. "You're my lab partner."

"Ugh are you Three Lights obsessed with me or something?" Kurai said, then in a low voice. "Or perhaps you are another Starlight."

Taiki gasped. "I-I don't..."

Kurai looked at Taiki as they sat down in the lab. "Do you guys think I'm stupid? You're one of them, and Seiya is obviously Fighter."

"What do you want then?" Taiki said.

"I want your help saving the Fallen." Kurai said.

"They cannot be saved." Taiki said. "They will forever be tainted."

"As I told you. That's not good enough." Kurai finished the experiment and stormed out.

Mana pushed past her, running to Taiki, clinging to him. "Please Maker! You have to save me! The youma are hunting me!"

"Get off me! I told you—we're over!" Taiki said disdainfully.

Two fish headed youma ran into the room. The class scattered.

Yaten rushed in. "So, this time it's Astarte."

Scales flew from the youma and struck Mana, knocking her to the ground. They moved to fire again but Kurai got in the way.

"Fight them! Protect Astarte! You have to listen to me right! That's my order!" Kurai said. "NEW MOON PRISM POWER! MAKE UP!"

Yaten and Taiki got between Sailor New Moon and the youma.

"HEALER STAR POWER! MAKE UP!" Yaten said. He transformed into Sailor Star Healer.

"MAKER STAR POWER! MAKE UP!" Taiki said. "Born under the light of the New Moon, the Soldier of Creation! Sailor Star Maker!"

"Star Sensitive Inferno!" Healer said.

"Star Gentle Uterus!" Maker said.

Their attacks destroyed the youma.

Behind Mana, a third youma appeared, wrapping its fins around her neck. The shadows surrounded her.

New Moon cried out. "No let her GO!"

A bright light banished the shadows and struck the youma. Injured, it grabbed Mana and jerked her into the darkness, where they vanished.

"NO! Not again!" New Moon yelled. "Why do we keep LOSING!"

A pulse from her body, and uncontrolled light broke all the windows and the room began to shake. Her power continued to explode through the building as she sobbed, until finally a hand landed on her shoulder.

"New Moon. Breathe." Fighter said. "Your power is too raw, you'll destroy the school. People will get hurt."

"F-Fighter..." New Moon said, calming down. "This is the last time we lose. We are going on the offensive. Kiana and Ava, they are Fallen too, right?"

Fighter smiled, impressed. "Yes. What is your plan?"

"We get them and bring them to a safe house." New Moon said. "And then we are going to find the enemy and save my friends."

"Alright New Moon." Fighter said. "But first I should introduce myself properly."

"Oh please I know who you are. Seiya."
