The girls were studying at Melissa's. Since the portal incident, there were no attacks, which had Diana concerned. "The enemy could attack at any time now. So why haven't they?"
"Maybe their trying to catch us off guard or figure out our identities." Melissa said.
"True, but we have to be ready at all times, then." Diana pointed out.
"That won't be a problem." Mary said. "Mel's dad and my mom aren't the only psychics."
"Wait, so you're psychic, too, Melissa?" Rini asked.
"Kind of. I only get small visions, almost like a dream." Melissa said. "Mostly they center around me in some kind of dangerous situation."
"And I can only sense if the enemy is nearby, but without my scrolls or fire pit, I'm useless." Mary admitted.
"If anything comes up, we contact the others right away." Diana said.
"Good idea, that way, we can all stay in touch." Rini said. She closed her book. "Well, I should be heading home now."
"See you tomorrow, Rini." Melissa said.
As she and Diana headed back, she ran into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry!"
"You will be, you little brat!" Rini froze in fear.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" A voice said. A young boy a few inches taller than her appeared next to her. "Come on, she apologized. There's no reason to treat a little girl like that."
"Uh, fine. Not like she's any of my business." The guy walked away.
"Thanks, but why did you help me?" Rini asked.
"I couldn't stand to see someone big pick on someone like you." The boy said. "Besides, you're kind of cute."
"Thanks. I should get going. My parents will freak if I'm late coming home." Rini told him.
"I understand. My parents are the same way." The boy told her. "Bye." She ran off.
"That boy…why do I get a familiar reading from him?" Diana asked.
At home, Rini picked up her communicator. "Hello?"
"Rini, are you okay? I had a vision of you in trouble." Melissa told her.
"I'm fine, Melissa. This boy saved me."
"What's he like?"
"Well, I don't know much. Brown hair, blue-green eyes." Rini told her.
"I see. I'm glad you're okay." Melissa told her. "I'll see you in school."
The next day, the group was walking back from Mary's. Rini seemed a little down. "Hey, Rini." Mary said. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I just can't help wondering why that guy helped me." Rini told them. "He didn't even know me."
"Sometimes people do things to help other people." Melissa said. "Kind of like the Scouts, but in different ways."
Mary stopped suddenly. "I'm getting a strong energy reading nearby."
"Is it the enemy?" Diana asked.
"I don't think so." Mary said. "These vibes are strong, though." Then, Rini spotted someone.
"He's the guy who saved me yesterday." Rini told them. The group headed over to him.
"Hey, I'm glad to see you're okay." The guy said.
"Well, she has us to keep her out of trouble." Melissa pointed out.
"Wow." Mary said. "You're really good."
"I've been practicing basketball for a while. I'm also good at karate."
"That explains how you got that guy to back off." Rini realized.
"Yeah." He got a good look at her. "I think I've seen you around school before."
"It's possible." Rini said. "I'm Rini. These are my friends, Melissa…"
"Nice to meet you."
"And Mary."
"So, do you come here often?" Mary asked.
"Sometimes." The boy said.
"Oh, please." Rini said, turning away. "Let's get out of here before they start…"
"Hey, Rini." She turned to face him. "Guess I'll see you around."
"Okay."
"By the way, my name's Justin." The boy told her.
The girls walked away. "He sure is cute." Mary said.
"Girls!" Diana rushed over to them. "I've been looking everywhere for you! The Queen is concerned…"
"The Queen?" Melissa asked.
"Diana!" Rini warned her. "It's just a game we play. But it's over now." She told her partners.
"Anyway, there's a monster in the park!"
"Oh, no!" Mary said. "That must've been what I picked up."
"No time!" Rini said. "Moon Prism Power!"
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Mars Star Power!"
Sure enough, there was a monster attacking in the park. "Stop!" It turned to see the Mini Scouts standing there.
"It's wrong to attack people for their energy." Mini Mars pointed out.
"But it's worse to do it out in the open!" Mini Mercury said.
"In the name of the Moon…" Mini Moon began.
"We shall punish you!" They all finished. The monster sent a shadow flying at them, but they all dodged it.
"Bubble Storm!"
"Mars Fire Spark!" The two attacks barely affected it. Another shadow was sent toward them, this time, it trapped them.
"I can't move!" Mini Mercury said.
"Me neither!" Mini Mars pointed out.
"Don't panic! We'll find a way out of this!" Mini Moon pointed out. Just as it was about to attack them, a lightning blast knocked it back. The shadow was released.
"It's wrong to attack innocent little girls, but even worse to attack Scouts in Training!" A voice said.
"That voice…" Mini Mars said.
"No way." Mini Moon turned. Justin was standing by the lamp pole. He walked over to their side. "Justin?"
"What's he doing here?" Mini Mercury asked.
"Wait, look." Mini Mars told them. Something was different about him. Instead of his usual outfit, he was in a green battle suit. The others gasped when they saw what she meant.
"That mark!" Mini Moon said. Sure enough, there was a sign in the shape of a four on his head.
"I don't know how it's possible, but he must be Sailor Jupiter's son." Diana said.
The monster leapt toward them. "Uh-oh!" The Scouts forgot about it completely. Justin got in front of them and took out a small antenna.
"Look out!" Mini Moon yelled.
"Lightning Flash!" The monster stopped in pain from the lightning attack. "Now's you're chance to finish it."
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!"
"Nice job, Mini Moon." Justin said.
"Thanks. What are you doing here anyway?" Mini Moon asked.
"I don't know. I was here when it showed up." Justin told them. "I ran away at first, but then I heard something telling me to go back. The next thing I know, I ended up here."
"Where'd you get that antenna?" Diana asked.
"My mom gave it to me. She said that it would always belong to a true warrior." Justin said. "Now I know what she meant."
"We're glad to have you on the team, Justin." Mini Mars said.
"This is going to take a while to get used to." Mini Moon said.
