Episode 7: The Moon's Aid. Contest of Love.

Within the dark confines of his laboratory, Professor Tomoe was hard at work creating yet another Daimon. He was growing...irritable, with the continued failures of these creatures, and the fact that someone had been taking control of his creations. Certainly, whether it was for the Death Busters, or for their shadowy rivals, the Daimon had, never the less, managed to secure a pure heart crystal, but not once was there a talisman inside of them, nor could they actually keep it.

"Professor," Kaolinite's voice echoed in the darkness.

"Kaolinite," the Professor acknowledged as he worked.

"Are you working on a new Daimon?" the red-head asked curiously.

"How many?" the Professor sighed. "How many Daimon must we throw away? We've already lost two of our Daimon to another organization after the pure hearts. Failure upon failure is stacked up upon each other. Our quest for the talismans is becoming costly. What of these obstacles known as the Sailor Senshi, the Transcodes, or even our new competitors?" he sighed, almost sounding tired.

"Nothing useful I'm afraid," Kaolinite sighed. "There's so much information on the senshi that it's hard to tell what might be true. With the Transcodes, it is the opposite. There's no information at all. As for our new competitors, all I've been able to find is that the one distributing those cards that override the Daimon is of the same race as the Transcodes, and calls himself Dark Phantom," she said, before remembering one more important detail. "However, during the fight in the scrap yard, it seems Dark Phantom is actually a composite being, made from the merging of a man named Hyde, and the strange creature called Phantom. Assuming this is the case for their entire race, then the Transcodes may very well be composite beings as well," she said.

"I see," The professor commented as he poured the chemicals together, destroying his beaker and creating a new Daimon egg.

"Don't worry professor," Kaolinite smiled. "I will see to this one personally. I even have the perfect target in mind."

"Oh?" the Professor wondered as he let the Daimon egg float in his hands.

"Yes," Kaolinite nodded. "With all the talk of hearts, I am guessing that love may be an important factor in finding a talisman."

"Hmm," the Professor pondered. "A reasonable idea. Very well. I will leave it in your hands."

The Professor then lets the Daimon egg hover into Kaolinite's hands. With a small laugh, she teleported from the room. All that was left was her lab coat which fluttered to the ground.

Geo, Sonia, Luna, Bud, Zack, Pat, Rey, and Jack sat in the classroom, even as everyone else was clearing out.

"Hey, Everyone. Going home soon?" Usagi asked, noticing her new friends still sitting in the classroom.

"Hm? Oh, Ace and Ms. Tia said they wanted us to help them with something, so we'll meet you guys later at the temple," Geo said, as Usagi nodded and ran off.

Now that the classroom was empty, the meeting was set to start. "Alright, now that everyone is here, let's begin," Ace stated, as he closed the door.

"As you all know, aside from our mission to locate Kelvin Stellar, we also have a mission to protect people from these Death Busters, as they call themselves," Queen Tia stated.

"Not just that, it seems that someone from our world has restarted Dealers, as the new Neo Dealers," Acid stated, as he materialized next to Ace.

Everyone nodded in response. "That much we know, plus Hyde is part of Neo Dealers, but what is their goal?" Geo asked.

"That, we aren't sure yet. It can't be the same as the original, since Meteor G was destroyed 4 years ago," Ace said, before adding, "But assuming they have the same intentions as the Death Busters, then it probably has something to do with the talismans that the Death Busters are after," he continued. "Either way, stay on guard, and look out for anything suspicious," he finished.

"Roger!" was the unanimous response he got from them.

-Sailor Moon SF-

After the meeting was over, the group split up. Luna said she had things to do, so she went off, with Bud and Zack following her (as always). Jack had decided to wander off, with Rey following him, simply because he didn't have anything better to do. This left Geo and Sonia to go to the Hikawa Shrine, with Pat following along.

"Normally, it's another day, another dollar. But for us, it's another day, another text book," Pat joked slightly, causing both Geo and Sonia to laugh.

"Yeah, but I can't say I'm complaining. I mean, think about it this way, we're the first people from our world, to go to school in another world," Geo replied.

"Though the next question is: Who would really care?" Sonia retorted, causing another round of laughter from the three of them. "Hey, we're here," Sonia added once the steps to the temple were in their sights.

The three of them walked up the steps, just as Usagi came darting down. "Usagi? Where's the fire?" Geo asked, surprised at the sudden act.

"Oh? Hey you three, perfect timing," Usagi said, before explaining what she was doing. "You see, earlier today, I was helping Naru-chan to patch up her relationship with Umino. So, I suggested they enter the love competition that's going to be held tomorrow. Anyway, I'm going to go and help them prepare, so why don't you three come along," she said, before pulling her three unsuspecting friends along.

-Sailor Moon SF-

Rey had decided to go back to his and Pat's apartment. Not finding anything better to do, he decided to sort through the data he and Pat had been collecting on the Sailor Senshi. Clicking through, he accidentally opened one of the rather...perverted pages on the Senshi. "Some people need to find a better hobby," he thought, before deleting the page, since he doubted the techs back at WAZA would appreciate finding that in the report. The reason for all this was because ever since they had reported their findings on the Senshi back to WAZA HQ, some of the researchers, particularly Dr. Goodal had found it quite interesting. Heck, the old bird (Rey's rather disrespectful term for her) had even thought about making Wizards that would emulate their powers, and maybe even give them EM forms, if WAZA decides to give those Wizards to the Senshi. The only problem was that while there already were Wizards with elemental abilities, the source of power was completely different, making it next to impossible to make those Wizards at the moment.

Anymore thoughts were cut off, when he heard a knock on the door. Deciding to see who it was, Rey walked over and answered. At first he didn't see anyone, but when he looked down, he noticed Mia standing at the door. "Oh, it's you. So what brings you here?" he asked.

Mia frowned slightly, as she had been hoping that Pat would answer the door, since while she liked Pat, she was rather uncomfortable around Rey. "Um, can...can I ask for a favor?"

"Sure, why not," Rey said with a shrug, before adding "Well what are you waiting for? Are you going to come in or not?"

Mia quickly stepped inside and slipped off her shoes before putting on a pair of house slippers.

"So what did you need?" Rey asked.

"Well, me and my friend were invited to be part of the commentators for the Couples Contest tomorrow, so I was hoping maybe you and Pat could be our escorts," she said, hoping for a yes.

Rey thought about it for a moment, before deciding. "I'll talk to Pat when he comes home, and if he says yes, then you've got a deal," Rey answered.

"Really?" Mia smiled. "Thank you Rey!" she squealed, before giving the older boy a hug and running off.

"Tch. I must be going soft," Rey muttered, before shrugging. "Oh well, she's the likable type, I suppose."

-Sailor Moon SF-

Geo, Sonia, and Pat were busy looking through the store. Usagi had introduced them to an odd fellow with the thickest glasses any of them had ever seen. Usagi introduced the guy as Gurio Umino, or Umino as he was usually called. After that, Usagi had gone on and explained about the couples contest that was being held at the park, and unsurprisingly suggested that Geo and Sonia try out, but they quickly declined, not liking the idea of rushing things.

"Even if it's not for anything particular, these sure look nice," Pat commented, as he picked a few formal clothes.

"True, but don't forget, we are 'just' students, so we don't have the money for that," Geo said, reminding him that they had to keep their cover.

"Hey, what do you think about this?" Sonia asked, bringing out a dress she found.

"I think that would look real nice on you," Geo and Pat commented, picturing Sonia in the dress.

While the three of them chatted, they didn't notice Umino, who had already picked out a suit for the contest, walking up to them.

"Guess the rumors are true. Too bad the two of you decided against entering tomorrow, otherwise I think you'd be great for the contest," Umino said.

This caught Geo's and Sonia's attention. "Why's that? Do couples really come by that rarely?" Geo asked curiously.

"No, it's just that to be honest, Usagi and her other friends don't seem to have much social lives except for Usagi and that Mamoru guy she dates," Umino replied with a shrug.

"To be honest, you'd think they'd all have boyfriends or something, since it's not like they work in clubs or anything, so I wonder what they do with all their free time. Maybe they're the Sailor Senshi or something," Umino said, shrugging slightly, as he tried on his suit.

Geo, Pat, and Sonia laughed nervously in response, each of them having the same thought in mind. "You have no idea how right you are."

"Then that means we're the friends of national heroes," Sonia said, trying to play along.

Umino laughed in response. "Yeah well, those girls are getting a little worried about those guys in sci-fi armor though," he added.

"Excuse me?" Geo asked, as the three of them flinched slightly.

"You know the guys that appeared at the scrap yard when that army of youma came from the sky. They've been given a number of names so far, but the most popular ones are: The Hoshi-no-Senshi (Warriors of The Stars), and The Star Force. As for the names, well supposedly people got the idea from how they seem to turn into shooting stars when the fly," Umino answered.

"Really?" Geo asked, trying to act as though he didn't know.

"Yup," Umino replied. "There are actually a few of them. People have reported sightings of them, but nobody really could get any hard proof until the scrap yard incident, where a lot of people saw them fighting the army alongside the senshi."

"Really now, do they have any fans?" Sonia asked, figuring she might as well.

"Quite a few people, though all of them are in the Sci-Fi clubs, but more fans are popping up all the time," Umino replied.

"Well now, that's interesting," Pat said, not really sure whether he or his team should be happy or not about this.

The three of them, after saying thanks to Umino, walked to a more secluded location. "Ace, I think we have a problem," Pat said, when he contacted Ace, via his Hunter VG, and explained the situation.

"Don't worry about it too much," came Ace's voice. "This was really already expected, especially on the count of the amount of damage we had to cause in the battle against that army, so all we can do now, is make sure that we continue to convince people that we are on the same side as the Senshi."

"Alright, we'll do that, though we can't guarantee anything with Haruka and Michiru. Those two don't seem like people any of us want to trust," Pat acknowledged.

-Sailor Moon SF-

The night went by quickly, and before any of them realized it, it was the day of the contest. Geo and Sonia were already waiting at the park along with Usagi and the others. Earlier, Naru and Umino had already met up with them, with Umino looking like he really needed some sleep, plus he was so nervous, he was marching like a robot.

"Take it easy Umino. I mean, what's the worst thing that could happen?" Geo said in concern, trying to calm him down.

"I'm fine! Besides, your not the one going on stage," Umino replied nervously, with a hint of annoyance in his voice. Not wanting to deal with anymore possible comments, Umino quickly made his way to the stage, with Naru right behind him.

Any further comments was put on hold, when Minako noticed a certain pair, make that two certain pairs walking toward the stage. "Ah look! It's Haruka and Michiru! And Ace-sensei and Tia-sensei as well!"

Looking toward the direction she was pointing, they all noticed the couples in question. Haruka and Michiru looked like a modern day prince and princess (Haruka was cross dressing again). While for Ace's and Tia's case, Ace was dressed in a silvery white tuxedo, while Tia was dressed in a elegant dark blue dress, with both of them giving off an almost majestic feel.

"Wow... those four are just so...so...I just can't find the word to describe it..." Usagi said, as the rest of them nodded with almost dreamy looks on their faces. Even Geo and Sonia had to agree that it just seemed...right.

While the girls (excluding Sonia) were busy admiring the two couples, Geo and Sonia had noticed Pat and Rey who looked like they were waiting for something.

"Pat! Rey! Over here!" Sonia called out, gaining the twins' attention.

"Hey, what are you two doing here?" Pat asked in reply.

"Watching the contest. What about you two?" Geo replied.

"Escorts," Rey sighed.

The four of them chatted for a few minutes, until a loudspeaker came to life, asking for all contestants in the contest to please report to the stage, catching everyones' attention.

"All right everyone!" the announcer cried to the audience. "Are we ready to feel the love? These select couples have come here to express how deep their feelings for each other really are. And in the end, only one couple with their loving pure hearts will light the torch of Lover's Park!"

Away from the audience, Kaolinite was leaning on a tree with a smile on her face. She had planted the daimon seed she had collected from the Professor in the new statue of a giant heart that was going to be revealed at the end of the competition. It would activate when a lover with a pure heart touched it. Then the daimon would awake and steal their pure heart. It was simple and elegant. Practically self-fulfilling. All she had to do was wait.

"All right everyone!" the announcer grinned. "Let's begin with a little test! Would the ladies please enter backstage and slip their hand through the hole in front of them?"

The women did what they were told while the men (and Haruka) stayed right where they were. When the women had slipped their hands through the heart shaped holes that were cut into the stage wall, the announcer began speaking again.

"Alright gentlemen," the announcer explained. "The test is easy. All you have to do is find your lover's hand among all the others. You may begin now!"

Haruka immediately stepped away from the others and grasped a hand that was protruding from the wall. She showed no doubt or indecision. She just went right for one and called out Michiru's name before the door opened, revealing Michiru right there.

"Those two are really close to be able to tell just like that," Ace thought, seeing how easily Haruka had identified Michiru. "Well, we aren't about to lose either," He said, as he picked a door and added, "Isn't that right? Tia." As the door opened, revealing the love of his life right behind the door.

Tia smiled as she gave her love a hug. When the two of them had heard about the contest during the previous day, the two of them had went right for it, wanting to deepen their relationship, and it was working.

The audience was very much impressed to see him haven chosen correctly. They were also moved by the affection shown, while the most cheers were coming from different parts of the stands, revealing to be their friends and team members.

"Alright you two!" Geo and Sonia cheered.

"Alright, sis!" Jack called out happily for his sister.

"Birds of a feather sure fly together," Rey commented, while Pat just joined in the clapping.

The show had continued on and events came one after another. Three legged race to karaoke. Throughout the contest, first place kept going either to Haruka and Michiru or to Ace and Tia. This continued, right up till the final event.

"Okay everyone! This is it!" the announcer cheered. "The confession contest! Each of these people can confess their love to their partner and you in the audience can award them points by your volume."

The audience cheered in understanding before the announcer tried to get Haruka and Michiru to go first. To everyone's surprise though, Haruka and Michiru both dropped out. Haruka made this comment that no one there could lose because love is everywhere. The audience was a little confused but they were also moved by the speech and gave applause.

The first to participate was Ace and Tia. During the confession, Ace pretty much blew away the crowd with his confession of love to Tia, starting with how she made him feel complete, and finishing off with what sounded almost like he was proposing to her, though given how their relationship was, might not have been far from the truth.

One after another, the couples each confessed, though they didn't come anywhere near Ace and Tia, until finally it came to Naru and Umino. At first it seemed he had screwed up again after tripping on a cord, but when he then just started speaking from his heart, causing a number of the audience members to cry. When he was finished, and the results were taken, it was an unbelievable result. It was a tie between Tia and Ace against Naru and Umino.

At first, the announcer was unsure what to say, but a quick suggestion from one Sonia Strumm, who had been sitting around the front of the stands convinced the judges to let both couples do the honours.

The announcer went into another cheer as he revealed the huge statue of a heart that symbolized the couple who had won, or in this case, couples. The four of them stepped up to the great sculpture, before touching it. However, that was when things started going wrong. The sculpture began glowing with an intense light before it started to shift and change. Ace and Tia, having already been trained for these kind of situations, braced themselves as the sculpture began taking a human form. Spectators besides the sailor senshi and the star force ran for their lives. Umino stood in front of Naru, determined to protect her.

The daimon finished forming, resembling a person who was in a black bodysuit with hearts on her hands, feet, chest, and head. There was also a black star symbol on her left cheek.

"DIE HEART!" the daimon cried in a melodious voice as it finished changing.

Umino looked to Naru for a moment before his desire to protect her returned even stronger than before. Die Heart just smiled before she put her hand inside the gold heart on her chest.

"One who's heart thinks only of his love, I shall find a talisman," she whispered before a black bolt of energy fired from the star on her cheek.

"Look out!" Ace and Tia called out, as they quickly pulled both Umino and Naru out of the way, whilst still managing to avoid the beam as well, due to their extensive training.

Growling in annoyance, Die Heart tried shooting the beam again, but no matter how many times she shot it, Ace and Tia still managed to evade the beams easily, whilst keeping Naru and Umino out of reach, before pushing them out of the way, effectively keeping them away from the daimon.

Up on the stands, Geo, Sonia, Pat, Rey, and Jack had quickly found some cover, and were about to pull out their Hunter VGs, when a voice cut through the air. The unmistakable cry of "Hold it!"

Taking advantage of the distraction, Ace and Tia quickly ran into the bushes, where they had noticed their team waiting, which left the daimon to deal with the Senshi who had just arrived.

"Alright then. Trans-ulp!" Geo and Sonia were about to say, when Ace and Tia stopped them, earning confused looks from the team.

"Let the girls handle it for themselves once in a while," Tia said calmly, as they turned their attention back to the battle.

"To ruin the light of love that someone had finally gotten a hold of," Sailor Moon frowned as she stepped into sight. "Even if the goddess of love forgave you, I would not!"

"Who the HEART are you?" asked Die Heart.

"I am the guardian of love and justice! Sailor Moon!"

"Likewise, Sailor Mars!" Mars announced as she came into view.

"Sailor Mercury!"

"Sailor Venus!"

"Sailor Jupiter!"

"In the name of the moon," Sailor Moon finished. "We will punish you!"

High above the battle was Kaolinite. She had long decided to get a new vantage point for her incoming victory. This would be the last time that those annoying Sailor Senshi would get in her way. Looking to Die Heart, she knew exactly how to do it.

"Hmm," she smiled. "Little girls should act like the little girls you are." She then snapped her fingers.

Die Heart heard he mistress' order and put her hand insider her golden hearts again, "Let's dance!"

The heart gave off a bright light but the senshi couldn't feel anything wrong with them. They looked forward and all of them instantly fell in love. In front of them were five of the hunkiest men that they had ever seen. Each of the men stepped forward and gently took a senshi by the hand.

"Let's dance!' they all cheered.

"Well," Sailor Moon giggled, actually forgetting Mamoru for a moment. "Only for a minute."

Of course, what the scouts were seeing wasn't necessarily what the others who were witnessing the battle. Ace and his team all sweat dropped at the sight of the five green skinny monsters that Die Heart had made from apparently nowhere. What was weird was that the senshi didn't seem to see what they really were and were actually dancing with them.

"Hey Ace. When we actually do decide to reveal our identities to them, I say we put them through Satella Police training, starting with combat 101," Jack sighed, as he was once again bewildered at the girls' antics, and lack of focus for that matter.

"Well, it has to be some illusion they're seeing to make them dance with those things, so cut them some slack," Sonia said, coming to their defense.

"Actually, I have to agree with Jack on this one," Lyra said, as everyone else, EM Beings and humans alike (including Geo, much to her dismay) nodded, causing her to sigh in defeat. As much as she hated to admit it, Satella Police training (or boot camp as she liked to put it) would really do them wonders.

Any further discussion was interrupted when a series of screams erupted from the girls and now the skinny monsters were now attacking them with electrified tentacles. Apparently, the illusion was dropped but the monsters were painfully real.

"Now can we help?" asked Pat, seeing as the Senshi were in a tight spot.

"Yes. Oh, and I've sent the list of names we've been given by the public to HQ, and they've decided that our team code name will be Star Force, so while on this planet, that will be our new transformation code," Ace said, earning nods from the group, despite the sudden information.

"Star Force! Acid Ace!"

"Star Force! Mega Man!"

"Star Force! Harp Note!"

"Star Force! Gemini Spark!"

"Star Force! Queen Virgo!"

"Star Force! Jack Corvus !"

The Transcode team, now renamed, The Star Force team dashed out of the bushes and toward the battle.

"You five help the Senshi out!" Acid Ace ordered. "Queen Virgo and I will handle the daimon!"

"Roger!" the five of them replied, as they dashed toward the senshi.

"Meh, I can't believe we have to save your sorry buts again! Grave Claw!" Jack Corvus called out, burning through the tentacles, causing the creatures to release each of the Senshi.

"Worry about that later! Rocket Knuckle!" Gemini Spark W and B called out in synch, before sending the creatures tumbling back.

"We'll finish this!" Mega Man called out, as he and Harp Note jumped in front of the creatures.

"Double Heroes! Buster Concert!" They cried, as Harp Note fired a concerts forth of music notes, with Mega Man firing his canons at each of the music notes, creating a spread shot of notes to rain down on the creatures, deleting them instantly.

The Sailor Senshi didn't even get a chance to say a word, before the Star Force team had once again, made short work of the opponents that had been giving them a hard time.

"Um...thanks again," Sailor Moon said, right before Jack Corvus gave them each a smack on the back of the head.

"Baka! In the middle of a battle, you can't afford to get side-tracked. What kind of warriors let an illusion, which I'm betting didn't even hide the daimon from your view, distract them!" he exclaimed, very much annoyed at the Senshis' seemingly inexperience in battle.

" Oi! Aren't you being a little hard on them Jack Corvus?" Mega Man said. Although he did agree that the Senshi really needed some real battle training, he didn't agree Jack's berating them.

Before they could argue, the sound of Ace and Tia fighting the daimon caught their attention.

"Rain Shower!"

"Stealth Laser!"

Both attack collided with Die Heart,doubling the damage from the electricity, which left her reeling.

"Let's finish this! Hydro Dragon!" Queen Virgo called out, sending her dragon toward Die Heart, pushing her back.

At the same time, Acid Ace had quickly moved behind her, positioning himself right behind where she had originally been as a statue.

"Lock-On Sword!" he called out, quickly slicing at Die Heart, causing her to land right where he wanted her.

"It's over," Queen Virgo said, as Acid Ace reappeared next to her.

Just as Die Heart was about to dissapear, a card suddenly shot down, and stuck to her chest.

"What?" Acid Ace gasped in surprise, since they had already defeated the daimon.

"Hmm, it seems I was too late for a live speciment, but this will work, since a bomb is better than nothing," came Dark Phantom's voice, before he laughed maliciously.

"Bomb? What bomb?" Mega Man called out, until he noticed the noise leaking out of Die Heart at an erratic rate.

"She's gonna blow!" Harp Note cried out, as Die Heart began to swell.

From her vantage point, Kaolinite frowned, realizing they were going to lose another daimon, but if this daimon, which was somehow going to explode could take them all out, it would make their plans all the more succesful, so it was a silver lining of sort. Sighing slightly, she decided to teleport away.

Back down in the park, Die Heart was about to explode, indicated from her rapidly flashing body.

"Damn it! We have to do something! We can't let her explode!" Acid Ace growled.

"Oh don't worry. Leave that to me," came a voice that sounded like an elderly woman.

"That voice!" Mega Man said, recognising the voice.

"Noise Eraser! Activate!" the voice cried out, as a wave of energy hit Die Heart, causing the noise to dissapear, reverting her to her true form, which was a statue. The statue once again spat out the daimon seed, and the noise card, only this time, both dissolved into dust.

Everyone turned to the source of the wave, with the Senshi particularly wanting to see their 'saviour', only to see a short elderly woman with white hair, red glasses, and a yellow lab outfit.

"Dr. Goodal?" Mega Man asked, as he and his team were surprised to see the head scientist of WAZA here of all places.

"You seem surprised to see me," she laughed slightly, showing that despite her age, she was quite youthful on the inside. "Oh don't worry about me. I just came here to give you all a new weapon to combat Neo Dealers, though I think we should talk about this elsewhere," she continued.

"Uh, r-right," Acid Ace nodded, as they quickly turned into the familiar flashes of light, before taking off into the sky, with Dr. Goodal in tow.

The Sailor Senshi were left quite surprised by the turn of events. "Um...What just happened?" Sailor Moon asked, and for once, she wasn't the only one who was completely clueless.

Before they could ponder it any longer, they just realized something.
"Eh? We left Geo and Sonia earlier!" Sailor Moon exclaimed, as they all realized that as well.

Author's note:

Done. Guess I made this sort of a cliffhanger ending, but honestly, I was having trouble trying to think about what to say for this episode. So far I've been following each and every episode from Sailor Moon S, but since I'm having a hard time making episodes using all of them, I'm going to skip a few every now and then, and later on I might make episodes set in Geo's world.
