Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Sailor Moon or Harry Potter (even though I wish I did). I do own Senshi Star, the character names and how they behave, and basically the story line. I'll be really mad if you took it. And besides, why would you want to sue me? Do you really have that much free time on your hands?

A/N: Hello! Hello! Hello! I love the feedback! It makes me happy. And why wouldn't it? You guys are great! ^.^ It makes me so happy to know that people really like this fic. Please keep the reviews coming! I love feedback as much as any author does. More good stuff in this chapter! I'm going to mention something before you guys find out on your own and get mad at me. I up-ed the rating to R because it's gonna get pretty nasty when I get through with it. This chapter will probably let you understand why. Now, on with the show!

Summary: Senshi Star was perfectly content to live out her life as a soldier of the Moon without question or thought. When the wizard prince of Elysian arrives as a peace sign from the Earth with three very familiar friends, her world is turned upside down. Will they find love? Or will they be separated by the doom which is destined to befall the Moon Empire?



"Greetings Queen Beryll." Hissed a series of voices all at once. The room was nearly pitch black, the walls made of black and purple crystals. Hoards of vile and deranged youmas didn't even dare to giggle as they gathered around an enormous ebony throne. Each youma had a different appearance from the one beside it except for the few twins or triplets which stood together in huddles. They knew better than to show their insanity outwardly in noisy, idiotic ways.

The throne was occupied by a very tall woman of maybe seven feet in height. Her blood red hair fell down to the cold stone floor beneath her feet and her skin glowed an eerie, unhealthy gray. Her long, pointed crimson nails traveled over a large crystal ball which shifted in color every few seconds. She wore a very revealing black dress which gave the impression that she was half naked and on her head was a crown of ebony. The most astonishing thing of all was her beautiful, perfect face. Her eyes were a steely gray, colder than outer space. Her full lips were blood red and two twin fangs glowed as they stuck out of her mouth. She appeared to be the princess of snakes, but she was beautiful even as she was terrifying.

"What information do you bring?" Her voice was even more cold and terrifying than her face. Her hands moved over the crystal ball, never slowing and never pausing. She starred down at the nervous and wounded youma as it glanced to more of its kind for some comfort or assistance.

"The Senshi Star destroyed our forces." The youma said at last. It winced slightly and waited for the punishment which came almost immediately. Dark energy sucked out the youma's power, leaving nothing but crystal-like dust for the dry and barren wind which curled around the Queen's beautiful body.

"Any of those who do not accomplish my orders shall suffer a fate similar to this fool who dared to call herself a soldier of my Shadow Army. Now be gone before I terminate you all for allowing such a failure into my sight!" Instantly the youmas were gone and the room was eerily quiet.

Rubbing her forehead wearily, the Queen stood from her place and allowed her crystal ball roll to the ground. This was very bizarre since she had been holding it as if it had been some kind of life-line. Now she discarded it without a thought. Speaking of discard, the crystal was not the only thing which she allowed to slip off of her being. The first thing she did was remove her crown and smash it against the crystal wall. The next thing she did was remove her dress, leaving her standing bare in her throne room. Feeling much more comfortable, the Queen sat back on her cold throne and threw one long, pale gray leg over the arm of her seat. She even slouched in her seat, which was very un-Queen-like.

Anyone, man or woman, would have instantly been possessed by lust for her at first glance.

"You seem upset, my dear." A voice said from the Queen's right. "Perhaps you need someone to loosen you up?" A dark shadow appeared beside her. The voice belonged to a man but his features were distorted and hidden in shadows.

"Master, I can't stand these incompetent fools." The Queen said with a great sigh (which drew immediate attention to her naked chest). "Why couldn't you entreat me with creatures which can actually fulfill my wishes without borrowing brain cells from each other?" The shadow man chuckled.

"So the plan failed." He whispered as a pale, shadow-covered finger gently traced patterns on the Queen's left arm. She sighed wonderfully.

"I knew that it would. Princess Selena of Startica has hidden herself well and now she has the protection of Senshi Star, the strongest of all the warriors in the universe. A few youmas are not powerful enough to take her on. I've known that ever since I first began trying to capture my sister." The shadowed man's finger traced up to her long neck and all the way down to a heaving breast. Leaning down, he placed a shuddering kiss on her exposed flesh, his hands loosing their formality and roaming her body.

"You're so beautiful." He whispered against her skin, his teeth nipping her tender neck gently.

"Have me if you wish, my master. I would do anything to please you." Queen Beryll whispered as she moaned pleasurably. Her hips involuntarily rose up in anticipation of what was to come. Abruptly, the kisses stopped and the shadow took a step away from her.

"You love that Earth guardian. Darien." The name was spat out like a curse word as the shadow glared at her with a mixture of longing and anger.

"I can not deny that, my master. I shall give myself to you if you wish it, but my heart belongs to someone else." Beryll said as a smirk formed on her lips. She opened her legs a bit wider for him to view her completely and to see what he would be missing if he chose not to have her.

"Return to your duties immediately. I must return at once or the King and Queen shall suspect me." The shadow man bowed his long, lithe form to expose a head of sun-touched golden hair and a snake tattoo at his wrist. He disappeared with a cloud of darkness. Beryll pouted slightly when he was gone.

"Master, why do you always do that to me? You get me so excited and then you leave!" She shook her head and moved to retrieve her dress. The master was the only person she would ever even consider exposing herself to. Not that her dress did much to hide her curves and cleavage anyway.



Star watched with growing anger and frustration as Neptune and Mars fought on, their bodies starting to show definite signs of fatigue. Twirling one of Star's hand daggers (designed like the hand daggers of the ancient Egyptians) in one hand, Star glared viciously at her fighting Senshi.

"Next is Uranus versus Venus!" The two fighting Senshi immediately got off of the arena floor and sat down quickly in order to catch their breaths. Both Uranus and Neptune exchanged meaningful looks before Neptune sat down beside Godric where Uranus had been sitting earlier. When Salazar was left alone, he nearly jumped when Saturn came to sit down beside him. Moving her sickle aside so as not to harm him, she turned a timid smile towards him.

"What do you think of the battles so far?" She asked him curiously. Salazar decided that he needed his usual charm in order to show Saturn that he wasn't just any guy that fell over dead when a Goddess passed him. Not that there were any Goddesses on Earth. Smiling broadly, he scooted closer to her.

"I thought they were pretty good fighters. But I haven't seen you fighting yet. Are you one of the peaceful Senshi?" Saturn starred at him for a long time before she began to laugh loudly. Most of the soldiers and Senshi turned to stare at the smallest Senshi. She had never laughed like that, not since she had been a tiny, one hundred-year-old baby. "Did I say something stupid?" Salazar asked when Saturn had been laughing for several moments.

"I'm sorry!" Saturn managed to say at last as she wiped her eyes with the back of her gloved hand. "It's just that only someone from the Earth would say something so ignorant!" Salazar began to blush but Saturn lifted her hand to stop him from speaking. "That's not a bad thing. If you knew my reputation as the Senshi of Death and Destruction than you wouldn't be sitting within two miles of me."

"Oh." Salazar muttered. He glared at Rowena, who was too busy asking Mercury breathless questions. If only Rowena had told him about the Senshi! There was no doubt in his mind that the dark haired witch knew everything; and if she didn't, she was the closest person to knowing everything that he had met so far. "I guess." Saturn turned concerned eyes toward Salazar.

"I apologize for upsetting you. I don't usually speak to mortals or anyone at all for that matter." This caught Salazar's attention again.

"What do you mean you don't usually talk to people? Aren't you always around Star and the other Senshi?" Saturn shook her head sadly. She really liked Salazar for his honesty and his kind thoughts. But if only he knew a little more about the reality of his world than he wouldn't have been asking her such difficult questions.

"I live on my home planet where all of my servants are mute, deaf, and blind." She explained. "Star is the only one who comes to see me. The other Outer Senshi don't even approach me for the same reason that humans fear me. There are always rumors of planets that I have destroyed and people that I have killed. I do not kill senselessly." Salazar blinked, shocked that the conversation was interesting him so much. Usually he couldn't stand to speak with anyone for more than five minutes. Besides Godric, Helga, and Rowena that is.

"What about your family?" Saturn turned to him and seemed to think deeply about her answer. She even glanced at Star to make sure she wasn't listening in on the conversation. Saturn and Salazar could just make out the Senshi leader's furious bottle green eyes as she tapped the ledge which she sat on with her dagger. When it became evident that Star was either too angry or too preoccupied with the fight to listen to them, Saturn turned back to Salazar. She lowered her voice to somewhat of a whisper.

"My family is dead. All Senshi are born from the Queen of their planet and a mortal man. All except for the moon princess, that is. Her father is a God as well as her mother. Ordinary Goddesses have a touch of mortal blood in them so they each have their own soul." This time, Saturn starred long and hard at Star before she dared to open her mouth again. "At a certain age, the mother of the Goddess passes on the souls of her ancestors as well as a fraction of her own soul. When that Goddess dies, the rest of her mother's soul is passed on to her daughter. To pass one's soul on immediately results in a power surge of such magnitude that the resulting consequences sometimes include insanity. I knew a Goddess of a meteorite cluster who became mentally unstable and died two days later from suicide because her mother was murdered at the time of the soul-passing age." Salazar listened to all of this with wide-eyed fascination.

"What happened to you?" He asked curiously.

"My mother and my father were murdered two hours after all of the souls of my ancestors were passed on to me." Saturn said this very calmly. "I suffered through several centuries of insanity, depression, and even a time in which I began to destroy entire planets. Star was the one who finally forced me to stop." Saturn smiled at this thought, but it was a sad smile.

Salazar couldn't believe what he was hearing. Leaning closer to her, they continued to discuss in hushed voices what Saturn went through. This session of exchanging histories (Salazar's was much shorter) gave Saturn a rejuvenated feeling. The only other person she had told her history to had been Star, but Star had always been slightly unemotional about anything to do with family. She simply refused to think about it, even if it was someone else's family.

Rowena and Mercury were actually having a conversation which had nothing to do with Mercury's blue computer (much to Helga's ultimate surprise). They were discussing relationships and the ills of the public when discussing same-sex relationships. Mercury had been quite shocked to discover that Rowena and Helga had a relationship which they kept private to all except for the people closest to them. At one point, Mercury sat quietly for a minute. Mars, who had come to sit with them after her fight, had been listening to the conversation with interest.

"What is it like? To be in love with another girl?" Mercury asked at last. She was blushing slightly but she was emotionless save for that. Rowena frowned slightly at the question and then sought a suitable answer.

"To me, Helga really isn't like a girl. I don't understand it really, but she just seems a lot stronger and different from anyone else I've ever met. I just . . . love her." Rowena, who was usually good at explaining her thoughts and ideas, found that describing how she felt for Helga was next to impossible. She even raised her hands, trying to use gestures which only seemed to hamper her thoughts. Helga, of course, was blushing profusely at the topic of discussion.

"You have the soul of a man." Mars said simply. "The Goddesses of the planets know more of the secrets to reincarnation than almost all mortals so we can recognize what gender a soul usually is." She explained. "When a Goddess is born, she is put through several ceremonies throughout her childhood to ensure that she ages slowly instead of wasting her twenty five years of change in twenty five years." Rowena lifted her hand in confusion.

"What do you mean? I thought that Goddesses are immortal." Rowena said.

"We ARE immortal." Mercury said. "We stop aging at twenty five so we draw out our aging process so as not to have to live in the same form for such a long time." Rowena thought that this sounded reasonable (in a very bizarre way).

"But what do you do when you turn twenty five? If you live forever, than why does it matter?" Helga asked curiously. Mars and Mercury glanced at each other and looked at Star. She was tapping her dagger against the ledge which she sat on. Pluto watched the fight emotionlessly but she winked when she caught Rowena and Helga looking at her.

"Well, not many Goddesses make it past the age of twenty." Mars said at last. "The lucky ones give birth to their daughters before they are killed." Rowena's eyes widened in horror at the Senshi's words.

"That's all that the Goddesses do?! Just give birth to daughters and then die?" Mars and Mercury shared another glance before shrugging.

"That is the way that life goes. Pluto has always been reborn since a Senshi of Time must always be alive somewhere in the universe in order for the universe to exist at all. The mothers of the Inner Senshi are still alive but those of the Outers have long been dead. They are in more peril of being killed because of the number of stronger youmas which they must battle." Mars explained calmly.

"How old is the Queen?" Rowena asked.

"She is two thousand, six hundred, and ninety seven years old." Mercury said. "To this day she is the oldest Goddess to have ever lived besides Pluto."

"How do you know that you are immortal than? Maybe you'd die at the age of three thousand!" Helga said. Mars chuckled.

"You don't seem to understand. All of us have lived over a thousand years. That is eternity." She shook her head. "I don't think I could stand to live three thousand years. The Queen, if you remember, is very old and wise. But her life has been racked with sorrow and pain. She was a Senshi once, the Senshi of the Moon. Now she is the Queen and we are the ones that protect her. We protect her only because Star wishes it to be so."

"Why do you obey Star?" Rowena asked. "It sounds like slavery to me. Why do you take it?" Mercury and Mars giggled.

"Because we love her." Mercury said with a teasing smile. "All of us do; Neptune, Saturn, Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and myself. We all love her. We would give our lives for her." Mercury looked sadly up at the Earth which hanged over them. Casting a beautiful blue light down on them, the scene seemed to fit a dream with much more ease than reality. "We love her because she saved us."

"Saved you?" Helga echoed. But Mercury and Mars wouldn't say another word and turned to watch the battle.

Meanwhile, Godric and Neptune had been speaking lightly about very safe topics which included the weather on several different planets and the formal customs which were required of all nobility. When Neptune mentioned that she played the violin, Godric allowed himself to loosen a little and soon they were describing all of the instruments that they liked.

Godric had been trying to limit what he said since he always seemed to want to talk about some secret whenever he was with a Senshi. With Saturn he had talked about his feelings for Star and with Uranus he had talked about Star yet again. The last thing he wanted to do was spill his guts for Neptune to pick at. There was no doubt in his mind that the Senshi would later tell Star about their conversations. His worries were not without conviction.

At the last corner of the arena, Star was still clanking her dagger against the ledge which she sat on, her eyes focused on Venus and Uranus. Venus had latched her Love Chain around Uranus and was pulling the chain tighter and tighter (causing the other Senshi a lot of pain). Unfortunately for Venus, Uranus managed to break free of her restrictions and launched a massive attack on Venus which left her sprawled on the floor for a long time. During that time Uranus, sent a flying kick towards Venus and bulldozed her into the ground, Venus shrieking in pain.

"They're telling the Earthlings secrets." Star whispered angrily. Pluto jumped when she heard her leader's venomous voice. When she registered what she had said, her eyes widened in shock. How could she have known that all around them, Goddess taboos and secrets were being told? Her hearing couldn't be that good!

"Star, perhaps you should end this training session. You don't look well. Perhaps a break from all of this fighting will loosen your mind and allow you to regain more of your power? After this morning you should still be in bed." Pluto said gently, her voice soothing. Star didn't move, her dagger poised over the ledge. The absence of sound from Star's dagger made Pluto feel very nervous and with good reason since Star's next words were slightly terrifying.

"Enough! Saturn and Pluto shall fight me next." Star said. Even though her voice was low and emotionless, everyone in the arena heard it with crystal clear clarity. The royal guard of the Moon whistled and made cat-calls but the two mentioned Senshi were anything but cheerful. Star had to be pretty upset to decide that she wanted to put her two favorite Senshi through their paces. And she didn't seem in the mood to be lenient to anyone that day.
