Chapter 7: A Surprise Attack: Usagi's Reconciliation

The Sailor Guardians, except for Rei, organized a meeting at the Crown café after the school day ended. Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, and Setsuna met with them so they could discuss some events that had occurred recently. Minako stirred the ice around in her drink waiting for Usagi to show up. Usagi had been quite distant from the guardians ever since Rei's 'death'. Minako and the others believed that if they could just get her Star Crystal back, she would be okay. But despite the many times they had tried to motivate Usagi to fight for Rei, she barely budged.

"Where could Usagi be?" groaned Minako as she took a sip from her tea.

"I was searching all around town for her after school got out," added Luna, "I have no clue…"

Ami spoke, " She has been spending a lot of time with Naru recently, maybe Usagi is at Naru's house."

Makoto suddenly stood up; "Well, then let's go look for her there!"

"The four of us would like more information on everything that had happened recently," said Haruka. Makoto sat back down.

"What happened to Rei?" asked Michiru, "Please, take your time if it's hard to answer."

Ami took a deep breath. Indeed, it was hard to answer, "Well… Jadeite and Sailor Iron Mouse had a trap set up the whole time, but in doing so they put innocent people in danger."

"We ran to where the commotion was, and we defeated the monster that was suspiciously easy to kill," added Makoto.

Minako sighed, "Before we could entirely figure out what was going on Jadeite and Iron Mouse had us in their grasp, and they nearly killed us, by trying to figure out wether we have Star Crystals or not. And the only reason we didn't die was because Rei…" she broke off. She covered her face to hide the tears in her eyes.

Hotaru looked saddened, "I wish we could've been there to help..."

Ami, who composed herself with more ease than Minako, started speaking again, "She jumped in the way of the attack…but she also managed to kill Jadeite and Iron Mouse."

"I just feel so bad…" added Makoto, " Rei even tried to warn us earlier, but we didn't listen."

"It'll be okay," reassured Setsuna, "We've been in situations like this before, and it's always been okay in the end."

Minako wiped her eyes; "We were thinking that if we can get a hold on Rei's Star Crystal, she could possibly be brought back."

"That's a good idea," responded Michiru, "Usagi did the same with our Star Seeds when we fought Galaxia the first time."

"We need to find some kind of entry way to their lair," said Ami, "Similar to what we have already done before."

Haruka added in, "And since we know their identities, it will be easy to track them down."

"If only we could get Usagi to help us execute our plan…" grumbled Minako, "Rei's 'death' really took a toll on her mental health. Poor Usagi can't find any motivation to be our leader and fight."


"So, Usagi," said Naru, "How come you haven't been hanging out with your other friends as much recently? Did you guys get in a fight or something?"

Usagi shook her head, "No. It's nothing like that."

"Oh…well if you want we can call them over!" she gestured to her phone.

"I'd love to have them come over," replied Usagi, "but as it turns, out they are all busy today." She was well aware that they were at a meeting that she was supposed to be attending. If they came over she thought that they'd just nag at her for not coming to the meeting. Usagi felt as if she had failed as a leader. She hadn't taken the returned threat seriously enough, and it just led to one of her friends getting killed. It was better to just be with Naru, and act like none of the Sailor Guardian stuff had ever happened. She felt too discouraged to try to get Rei back. It was wrong of her to be so selfish; Usagi knew that and regretted it. Her other friends were working so hard to rescue Rei. After a lot of contemplation in her head she decided that she wasn't going to avoid the problem at hand. She turned to the clock in Naru's bedroom, and decided to go try and see if the meeting was still in cession, "Naru, I just realized that I've got to go. I totally forgot that I had to get somewhere earlier. See you at school!" She waved and ran out the door.

"Oh! Okay, bye Usagi!" Naru waved back, slightly confused.


Usagi ran down to the Crown, and she stopped at the door panting. She walked in to be greeted by Unazuki, Motoki's sister.

"Hey Usagi!" she said.

"Hi Unazuki! Are my friends still here?"

"Ummm No," she responded, "They left about half an hour ago."

"Alright," said Usagi, defeated, "Sorry for the inconvenience!"

Usagi left and she walked back home to find Luna in her bedroom, shooting her a very disappointed look.

"I told you that there would be a meeting today and you didn't show up," said Luna. "What has come over you?"

"I'm sorry! I was at Naru's house and— "

"Naru's house? Usagi, we have a mission to fulfill! Don't you even care about Rei?"

Usagi flopped onto her bed. Her face was buried in the pillows.

"I really do care! I just feel so discouraged and defeated!" she lifted her head up and her eyes were filled with tears, "I know that I should've been there and I know that I need to help more. I miss Rei! And her being gone again makes my heart hurt. I just don't know what to do. Part of me wants to just stay with Naru forever and forget and other part of me wants to fight until every single enemy is gone…"

She fell back into her pillows and lay there silently. Luna now watched her sadly.

"Usagi…I'm sorry for getting mad. I don't want you to forget what you're capable of as a Sailor Soldier. You defeated Chaos and Metallia when everyone was gone. Just think what you can do with most of your team. I miss the Usagi who was determined to fight for justice and for her friends. And I know you can defeat these guys. You are Sailor Moon, the legendary leader of the Sailor Soldiers."

Usagi turned her head and smiled, "Thank you, Luna."

The two friends began discussing their plans. Luna told Usagi about some of the ideas the other Sailor Guardians discussed. Despite everything going on, Usagi felt a lot better than she did before. She was of course still going to hang out with Naru, but she remembered that it's not good for her to just try to run away and forget about her problems.


It was the next week after the discussion Usagi had with Luna. She was finally joining in on their meetings again and she was feeling a little bit better and more hopeful. Her and Naru were walking home from a good dinner at the Crown this particular day. It was a lot later than usual so not many people were around.

"You seem to be feeling better than you were earlier, Usagi," said Naru, as the two girls exited the school campus.

"What makes you say that?" said Usagi, slightly surprised that Naru could tell how stressed out she was earlier.

"I dunno. I guess you just seemed frazzled and less focused than normal. You seem happier now. At least I hope you're happier," she giggled.

"Well, I am happier now," replied Usagi.

"That's good," said Naru.

Sailor Tin Nyanko and Nephrite lurked in the alleyway, spying on Usagi and that girl next to her. They thought Naru was one of the other friends that Usagi normally hangs out with, one of the friends who acted suspiciously after Sailor Mars's death. From that distance they couldn't really tell who was with Usagi.

"Ha ha," chuckled Tin Nyanko, "That bun-head girl is with one of those friends of hers. We could get double the Star Crystals today," she loaded and cocked the gun that she had re-made herself. It was the one she used to shoot Seiya a while ago.

"Let's attack once the two of them pass us," said Nephrite, "It will be easier to attack them that way."

As Usagi passed where the two of them were hiding Tin Nyanko jumped out and shoot her gun at them. Usagi suddenly turned around to see the blast coming towards her and Naru.

"Naru look out!" screamed Usagi as she grabbed Naru, who had just turned around, and pushed her to the ground. The two dodged the attack. Naru had fainted.

Tin Nyanko walked up to Usagi, and she extended her arm towards her, getting ready to take the Star Crystal.

"Get away!" cried Usagi as she backed away from Tin Nyanko, "What do you want from me?"

"You know what we want, Sailor Moon!" yelled Sailor Tin Nyanko.

Usagi froze, how did they know? She thought, how could I have given it away? "I-I'm not Sailor Moon!" she cried as an attempt to cover it up. She noticed Nephrite walking up to Naru, getting ready to take a Star Crystal as well.

"No! Please don't attack Naru! You can attack me, just please don't hurt her!" cried Usagi.

Tin Nyanko froze. She was supposed to keep Nephrite away from that Naru girl. As and impulse reaction she turned away from Usagi and knocked Nephrite to the ground.

"Stay away from her!" she yelled to the general.

"What the hell are you doing? I almost had her!" said Nephrite, confused that Tin Nyanko had just listened to the silly girl. Just as Tin Nyanko was about to run back to Usagi, who was frozen with fear, she heard someone shout, "Jupiter Oak Evolution!"

The attack knocked her to the ground. She looked up, "The Sailor Guardians!"

As Nephrite turned his head he saw the Sailor Guardians standing there.

Sailor Venus cried out, "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" The attack struck Nephrite. Before the two villains could get up Sailor Venus helped Usagi up and Sailor Pluto and Saturn picked up Naru. They ran behind a building, where Pluto set Naru's head onto her lap. Sailor Saturn assisted in taking care of Naru.

"Thank you for rescuing Naru and I, Venus. We were in real trouble."

"You're Welcome Usagi," said Sailor Venus.

Meanwhile during the battle, Nephrite managed to get up and knock the other Senshi of their feet with his Starlight Attack. Sailor Uranus ran at him with her Space Sword and she swang it at him. Nephrite deflected it by summoning a crystal sword. It was especially challenging for Nephrite because he had to keep deflecting and blocking Sailor Neptune's energy blasts. He was very frustrated at Tin Nyanko for screwing their whole plan up. Nephrite was so close to getting that girl's Star Crystal.

Sailor Tin Nyanko finally awakened to see Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury towering over her. It was hard and painful for her to stand up. And once Tin Nyanko finally got on her feet she dodged Sailor Jupiter's punches and then kicked Sailor Mercury in the stomach. Sailor Mercury used her Mercury Aqua Rhapsody to put Tin Nyanko in a brief shock.

Sailor Uranus and Nephrite were still fighting, and Uranus managed to knock the sword out of his hand. Sailor Neptune shot her Deep Submerge at Nephrite blasting him down the street.

While Sailor Tin Nyanko is in shock, Sailor Jupiter pins her up against the wall of a building.

"Don't ever mess with the Sailor Guardians' friends ever again," threatened Sailor Jupiter.

Sailor Tin Nyanko fell to the ground, and she teleported away along with Nephrite.

"Well," said Sailor Venus joyfully, "That's our first successful battle in a really long time!"

"Yeah, now we've lowered their defenses," agreed Sailor Uranus, "I doubt the two of them will ever come back to attack us any time soon." The Sailor Guardians all shared a laugh.

Naru fluttered her eyes open to see all these Sailor Guardians standing around her.

"W-where's Usagi?" asked Naru, "And are those weird people gone?"

Sailor Moon knelt down next to her, "Usagi's fine, and we all took care of those bad guys. You've got nothing to worry about now."

"Well that's good," Naru smiled, "Now if guys will excuse me, I've got to get home. My Mom has probably been expecting me."

"You're excused," replied the Sailor Guardians.

As Naru ran off she turned around and yelled back at them, "Thanks again Sailor Guardians!"


A few days later, the girls, along with Luna and Artemis met at the Crown Café. Usagi, for once, wanted to discuss something with all of them.

"Well Usagi," said Minako, "What is it that you wanted to tell us?"

"It's about Naru…" said Usagi, who looked slightly worried.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Haruka.

"She seemed fine yesterday," added Michiru.

"Was it trauma from the attack?" inquired Hotaru.

"No, actually. It's not too serious right now, but I thought it'd be a good idea to tell all of you guys," said Usagi.

"So what is it?" asked Luna and Artemis.

"Well, I few weeks ago I was walking home with Naru, and told me that she had a big crush on Satoshi, and we all know who he actually is."

"Usagi, that's serious!" said Makoto.

"Yeah, it could put her in serious danger. Especially since Sailor Tin Nyanko is part of this too," added Ami.

"I think as long as you guys can some how keep Naru away from Nephrite during the school day she should be fine," said Setsuna.

"What could we do after school?" asked Usagi, who was now more concerned for Naru.

"I guess we'll just have to hope for the best," said Artemis, "But if anything does happen it's your guys' jobs as Sailor Guardians to be there for her."

"That's right!" said Minako.

"I just hope that we can prevent more Star Crystals from being taken," replied Usagi, "And if one is taken we should get our hands on it to give it back to it's rightful owner."
