The Jovian Princess awoke to find seven sets of eyes peering at her curiously. Two sets of eyes belonging to their feline friends. Sailor Jupiter pressed her gloved fingers to her forehead and attempted to remove her aching headache from her head. She closed her eyes again, wishing the last week had been a dream, however, the unfamiliar sailor outfit still clung to her form. Feeling the eyes dig deeper and deeper into her soul she sighed and opened her eyes again. She sat up and looked at the friends she had trusted for so long, feeling a mix between guilt and rage. She waited till someone else spoke, scared of what words would come from her mouth.

"Makoto..." Luna uttered as she stared at the Jupiter Princess... no, the Jovian Princess, Luna recalled that the Princess liked to be referred as such in the past. She was at a loss for words, she never thought she would see the day that she would be confronted with the previous princess and her warriors again. Especially when she and the others have become so close with the one that was closest with the previous princess as well.

"Makoto how could you!" Usagi choked on her cry, which resulted in Mamoru rubbing the Odango heads back.

Makoto stared from one face to another, finally landing on that of the Moon Princess. She sighed. "I don't know Usagi-chan... my body just did things on its own." With that her body began to glow as she untransformed. She felt slightly more comfortable being dressed similarly to the others than in some foreign outfit that seemed to only distance herself from the others.

She sighed again. She didn't really enjoy the situation or the mixed feelings she was having. Part of her wanted to throw herself into her friends' arms and beg forgiveness and the other part wanted to scoff at them and start a fight. She swallowed down the second half of her thoughts and attempted to smile at her friends. "Sorry, I don't know how to apologize to everyone. I didn't know that I was an enemy." The word sounded sour to her at first, but underneath it all she was only too happy to be their enemy.

ELSEWHERE (Akihiko)

Akihiko Zeta walked around the park in which he felt the similar presence of the Jovian Princess. It was his turn to slip through the crack of their imprisonment and attempt the resurrection of the kingdom of old. He heaved a sigh. The Negaverse was everywhere. He was not used to so much negative energy, as the Negaverse was never able to penetrate his Princess' defenses. It only proved more that the Moon was not the true ruler. As soon as the moon had taken over the Negaverse felt a fall in power and easily took over and destroyed the moon kingdom.

Finally, becoming too irritated with being unable to approach the Jovian Princess, with the other Princesses surrounding her, and the constant pull of the Negaverse he let out a low growl before releasing a wave of power from his body. Instantly all the Negawaves disappeared and were replaced a sparkling happiness. Not only did this rid him of the annoying Negaenergy... it would surely bring the Jovian Princess to him.

ELSEWHERE (Makoto/Sailor Senshi)

The silence was deafening as everyone contemplated their feelings. That's when they all felt it. A release of great power. The girls jumped up and ran out the door, followed by a reluctant Makoto. It didn't take them long to reach the source as the person was at the park just down the road.

The park had been cleared of people and there stood a single man. He had semi-short hair that framed his face perfectly, but what caught everyone's attention was the striking yellow eyes that seemed to be able to pierce their very souls. They stared at each other for a long time before the aforementioned man smirked. It was then that Luna and Artemis gasped at the same time. "No... Not him too, not Akihiko Zeta!" Luna screeched unable to hide her fear. Akihiko Zeta after all was the head Knight of the previous Princess. The leader of the other twelve. Artemis growled, "If you're awake now, then a war is inevitable."

Akihiko's smirk grew even wider at the reaction he received. However, he ignored the comments and laid his eyes on the Jovian Princess. "My lady, I know you do not remember me... but I am head knight of the thirteen great knights and I am always in your service. It would do me great honor if you would accompany me in returning us to our rightful stations." His eyes never wavered nor left her emerald ones. There was a deep stirring in Makoto's body, one that felt oh so familiar. It wasn't the stirring of love, but trust. She could trust this man, she felt that she had trusted this man with her life many a times before.

Without even knowing it she had taken a step toward the man, only to have Rei's hand clamp down on her shoulder, holding her back. She felt so unsure. "She is no longer your Jovian Princess or whatever it is you people keep calling her! You better get out of here before I burn a hole through your head!" Rei was boiling over with fury. "Ah... you truly do hold the anger of Ares... and the passion of attaining higher positions... too bad that had backfired for you, young daughter of Ares." With that Rei screeched and transformed into Sailor Mars. The rest of the scouts followed suit and transformed, with the exception of Makoto. She was once again lost in a flurry of thoughts and uncertainty.

Akihiko... he was so familiar, such a comfort to her heart for unknown reasons. Like a long lost brother. She watched in disbelief as the scouts unleashed some of their most powerful attacks, none of them landing. Her feet began to move, to run towards the group when yet again another hand caught her shoulder. It was the hand of Sailor Pluto. She shook her head, silently telling the thunder Senshi to stay back as she charged into the battle herself. That left Makoto with Michiru and Haruka at her side, to hold her back she guessed. Hotaru had joined the battle along with Pluto. Through misted eyes Makoto looked up at Uranus and Neptune and then back to the battle. It wasn't fair... seven against one... she wanted badly to go out and help Zeta. The thought that this would be going against her friends hadn't even crossed her mind.

She clenched her hands to the point she almost made herself bleed. Uranus squeezed the thunder Senshi's shoulder and gave her an 'everything is going to be alright smile.' Neptune just stood there stoic to the world, unaware of anything going on. She recognized the man they were fighting... who was he? Why was he so familiar?

Akihiko jumped back and dodged yet another attack from Mars when he was caught off guard and sliced through his side. He cursed to himself, there were just too damn many of them to fight off by himself. He would have to get the Jovian Princess and his own Princess at another time. He thought as he glanced at the two Princesses he served.

Just as he was about to portal jump a streaming electrical light blew up in front of him, sending the scouts flying backwards. He paused and looked at the source. Sailor Jupiter was back in her old Princess Fuku and he sighed of relief. Uranus and Neptune were completely taken aback at the Senshi before them. She was completely different from Sailor Jupiter whom they have come to know and love.
