Sailor Moon V.M. Secret of the Lost Princess

Chapter Eight: "The Beach Party Dilemma!"

The morning had come and Usagi sitting at the dining table, still shaken by what Chibiusa had told her, and her break down the previous night, she stared at her breakfast blackly, looking sad, Chibiusa sat opposite her, watching her worriedly but didn't say anything. Ikuko gave her daughter a sugary mug of coffee and gave her a gentle pat, Usagi gulped down the coffee quickly, letting it run down her chin.

"Looks like someone's broken Usagi!" Smirked Shingo teasingly.

"Stop it Shingo, that's not funny!" snapped Chibiusa, a little too harshly, elbowing him hard.

"Owch, I'm only messing... what's with you?" winced Shingo awkwardly.

"Can't you see Usagi's still really upset..." retorted Chibiusa defensively "... and it's all my fault..." she then whispered under her breath to herself.

"How so?" asked Shingo inquisitively

"I can't... tell- just don't ask okay... it's not your business..!" groan Chibiusa a little rudely, but with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Usagi..! slow down... or you'll choke!" warned Ikuko as she grabbed the mug from Usagi "besides you're making a mess" she added, obviously she was deeply concerned about her.

"Sorry mom..." sighed Usagi quietly

"You're not well Usagi, maybe you shouldn't go to school today..." suggested Ikuko.

"I'm okay mom... I just had a nightmare, that's all..." replied Usagi trying to sound reassuring.

"I'm not so sure Usagi... but you've got that school trip to the beach today... I'm certain Yuzuki will be there. so seeing her might make you feel better.." smiled Ikuko.

"Oh no! Yuzuki...! does she know we're going to the beach today!" gasped Usagi, suddenly alert. "Mom I need the phone!" she yelped, dashing to the phone hurriedly.

"Looks like that coffee's kicking in..." sighed Chibiusa half-jokingly, trying to lighten the mood, she felt guilty about telling Usagi about Yuzuki's terrible destiny, a fate Chibiusa desperately wanted to prevent. "Anyway, I need to get ready for the school trip. us middle-schoolers are going too... Usagi can I borrow your old swimsuit please!?" she smiled warily.

"Sure.. help yourself, oh and sort out something for me to wear to the beach as well!" replied Usagi as she dialled the phone number Yuzuki had given her.

"Sure, no problem, thanks Usagi...!" cheered Chibiusa as she ran up the stairs.

"Hello this is Dr Wyldes Speaking, how may I help you..." answered a voice on the other end of the phone. as Usagi's call got through.

"Umm, hello Dr Wyldes... I'm Usagi... Usagi Tsukino, is, err, Yuzuki there, please... I need to tell her something..."

"Ahh, you're that dear young lady who's Yuzuki's new friend... I'm so proud she's has made a friend like you, It's a bit early but I'll put you through to her... she should be awake by now I just put you on hold while I fetch her..." chuckled a kind and gentle, English sounding voice.

"Thank you Dr Wydes, you sound like a really nice guy" giggled Usagi, blushing, something about the sound of this man's voice made Usagi feel strangely happy and reassured though she didn't know why or how she cheerfully listened to the song that was now playing down the phone 'Mr. Sandman... give us a dream...' she loved that song...

Meanwhile, upstairs Chibiusa was rummaging through Usagi's closet, she pulled out Usagi's bikini and Usagi's old swimsuit, then turned towards the bed, place them on it, but was surprised to see Luna sitting there looking at her, her tail twitching, Luna looked very angry. "Chibiusa... we need to talk about what you said to Usagi... she was very upset last night... to put it mildly..!" she growled crossly.

"She had a nightmare..." Chibiusa protested innocently.

"Don't you lie to me Chibiusa..!" spat Luna angrily "After everything Usagi went through with Sailor Galaxia and seeing her closest friends and the man she loves killed... for a second time, You told Usagi that her new best friend, Princess Serenity's long-lost reincarnated cousin is going to... die... didn't you think about how she would take it... how could you be so cruel!" scolded Luna, Chibiusa had never seen her so furious.

"I'm... I'm really sorry Luna... but it's the truth, Usagi had to know so we can prevent it from happening.. we must defeat the resurgent Dark Kingdom before it's too late!" Chibiusa explained, struggling to hold back her tears

"You intend to change the future...!?" gasped Luna in realization.

"The future hasn't happened yet... Yuzuki can still be saved and without her, there won't be a future..!" Chibisa cried desperately, "Just don't tell the others, not yet, Yuzuki mustn't learn about this... nor about her past life.." she warned urgently

"What exactly do you mean by no future... what aren't you telling me Chibiusa..." questioned Luna darkly.

"Something terrible and very ancient is coming back... far worse than anything the Sailor Guardians have ever faced before... I don't know what it is yet, but the new Dark Kingdom is going to unleash it either intentionally or by mistake... and it will completely destroy everything... literally everything... Neo-Queen Serenity... before I went back, told me Yuzuki is the only one who can stop it... that's why we must save her..." explained Chibiusa ominously...

Back downstairs, while this was taking place, Usagi was on the phone to Yuzuki, "We're going to the beach today... there's going to be a party and everything... did you know?" asked Usagi excitedly.

"You... you mean our school trip... I didn't know where we were going... I fell asleep when the teacher was telling us, remember..?" sighed Yuzuki, on the other end of the phone. "I've never been to the beach before..." she added.

"You've never been... why not?! Usagi gasped in astonishment.

"Sand..." replied Yuzuki simply

"Sand..?" questioned Usagi, puzzled

"It's corse and rough and it gets under..." continued Yuzuki flatly.

"Yuzuki...?" interrupted Usagi, confused

"Ha! I'm only joking, It's true though, I've just never had the opportunity before" giggled Yuzuki playfully, with a mock sigh.

"Ha-ha! very funny Yuzuki... I'm guessing you don't have a swimsuit or bikini do you..? chuckled Usagi cheerfully.

"sw-swimsuit...? I'm too shy to, to wear something like that... do I really have to?" gulp Yuzuki awkwardly, turning pink.

"Of course you do, we're going to the beach..!" exclaimed Usagi in response

"B-but won't people see my scars..." gasped Yuzuki nervously.

"Don't worry, everyone will be looking at your-" continued Usagi.

"Eek! that's even worse... not my boobs!" squealed Yuzuki in horror.

"I was going to say your great fashion sense... " giggled Usagi.

"Oh..." sighed Yuzuki with relief.

"Me and Chibiusa will meet you at the clothes store before we get to school, there'll be plenty of time if we hurry..." laughed Usagi.

"Okay,... I'll meet you at the clothes store... " agreed Yuzuki reluctantly.

"Yeah, see yah laters Yusuki.." smiled Usagi...

Yuzuki put down the phone in Dr Wyldes' office and thanked the small portly, silver, wild-haired gentlemen with a fuzzy beard and half-moon spectacles.

"That's quite alright dear, so going to the beach today hmm? I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time, make sure you take some sunscreen, you know you burn easily" advised the Doctor.

"Yes, I'll do that Dr Wyldes... thanks Doc.." smiled Yuzuki cheekily, dashing to the door.

"That young lady... Usagi, she seems like a wonderful person and a lovely friend to you, she's like the 'sister' you never had isn't she, the Ying to your Yang hmm?" asked Dr Wyldes curiously.

"Oh yes she's the best... she's my bestest friend in the whole world" giggled Yuzuk cheerfully. "The sister I never had, huh? I guess she is... she mumbled under her breath thoughtfully.

Oh..? then what am I... then..?" chuckled Dr Wyldes teasingly.

"You know you're like a father to me, your kindest, sweetest father anyone could possibly wish for, just like a Father Christmas, but all year round..." laughed Yuzuki as she rushed out the office hurriedly.

"Ho-ho-hooo... funny girl..!" chuckled Dr Wyldes after her, warmly. He casually leaned back and picked up his snow globe, it had a little model of the moon inside, he shook the snow globe, making the multi-coloured rainbow glitter swirl around inside, around the moon. "Ahhh, my little Moon Princesses are finally together again..." he smiled thoughtfully, with a mysterious twinkle in his eye...

Now in Juuban District Usagi and Chibiusa where they met Yuzuki, running over to her, who was anxiously waiting for them, after greeting each other, standing by the game arcade they watched as the Sailor V game machine was being loaded into a van and the new K.D.K game being pushed into the arcade, taking its place.

"Ohh, R.I.P. Sailor V... it was fun times with you..." sighed Usagi sadly, waving goodbye to the game machine, she looked at the new machine and shivered, there was something about it she didn't like, but they didn't have the time to worry about it now, she then spotted Naru watching them from across the road, Naru smiled nastily at them, then turned around and walked off to school with her nose held up, what was she doing here? Usagi wondered.

They quickly headed to the nearby shopping centre they shepherded Yuzuki, who was a little reluctant, into the clothes store. Usagi and Chibiusa picked out several swimsuits, which Yuzuki while not being too fussy, politely rejected each one for various reasons, her shyness was definitely on show today it seemed, which was a bit frustrating.

"Come on Yuzuki you gotta decide on something, we'll miss the beach party if you don't hurry up..." complained Usagi in frustration.

"My apologies Usagi... she's not usually this fussy when it comes to clothes... nevertheless getting her to the beach is a good thing, I worry that she doesn't go out much..." sighed the mysterious voice in the Shadow Moon Crystal.

"Wow, this one's so pretty... and it in my fav colours... it's lovely" cooed Yuzuki excitedly as she spotted a swimsuit that she liked the look of, a purple and lilac, glittery one with pretty, stars and diamond shapes on it... though she was still a little unsure about it.

"Come on Yuzuki don't be shy, we want to see it!" encouraged Usagi and Chibiusa together as Yuzuki nervously slipped out the changing booth, she had her arms wrapped around her. covering herself, blushing, reluctantly she showed off the swimsuit, giving a little twirl.

"Oh wow Yuzuki, you look absolutely gorgeous in it!" gushed Usagi happily.

"It's... it's not too revealing is it... maybe I'm not pretty enough to wear this..." whimpered Yuzuki shyly

"No silly, it's just fine... it's lovely... and you're just as pretty as me!" cheered Usagi reassuringly

"How much is it?" asked Chibiusa

"Oh, about 34.060 yen" smiled Yuzuki as she went to back to change into her school clothes.

"That's so expensive!" gasped Usagi

"That's okay... Dr Wyldes is quite rich apparently and has given me plenty of pocket money to share between us all, for the school trip, I've never been given so much before ... he told me that we should have as much fun as possible today" giggled Yuzuki

"He's given us money!?" exclaimed Usagi, Surprised.

"Yep, he's so kind and generous to everyone, he told me to share it with my friends at the beach, if you want me to buy anything just ask" replied Yuzuki as she paid for the swimsuit...

The three of them ran to school excitedly, two coaches parked outside the School "Usagi Tsukino, late as usual!" barked a familiar voice from behind her.

"Eek! Sorry, Miss Sakurada..." yelped Usagi "Wait... Miss Sakurada?!" gasped Usagi surprised, as she as she spun around to face her former teacher, who beamed warmly at her cheerfully.

"Hello Usagi, it's been a while, how you've been? I hear you've been getting excellent marks" she beamed.

"I... err... what are you doing here Miss Sakurada..?" questioned Usagi confused.

"Oh, I'm taking our middle school class on this joint beach trip" chuckled Miss Sakurada. just then Hotaru step walked over to them, like Chibiusa, it was a little strange seeing her in the Juban Middle School uniform, but it suited her. "This is our new top student and Chibiusa's best friend, Hotaru Tomoe, I guess you two already knew that..." smiled Miss Sakurada.

"Hello Usagi, Chibiusa, hi Yuzuki..." greeted Hotaru happily Miss Sakurada then spotted Yuzuki for the first time, she was shyly hiding behind Usagi.

"Now who could this be I wonder..?" Miss Sakurada asked curiously. Usagi mischievously dragged Yuzuki out into view and Miss Sakurada looked puzzled at the raven-haired girl who now stood in front of her, "Oh my who's this? I didn't know Usagi had a sister, you and Usagi would look so alike if it wasn't for your eye and hair colour, I'd swear you're twins!" she chuckled.

"err... m-my name is... Yuzuki... Yuzuki kage... w-we're not related... I'm in the s-same class Usagi..." replied Yuzuki, with her usual timidity upon meeting new people.

"She's very shy... even more so than I am..." gigged Hotaru.

"Oh, that's so sweet... We all should get on our coaches before we all get left behind... It's great you're doing so well Usagi, I've always thought our best girl had potential, I'm so proud of you..." laughed Miss Sakurada as she boarded the coach.

"Umm, Miss Sakurada, I know it's not normally permitted but can me and Hotaru sit with Usagi and Yuzuki, on their coach, please..." asked Chibiusa pleadingly.

"I'm not sure I.." Miss Sakurada began, but both Chibiusa and Hotaru both gave her the cutest puppy dog eyes that couldn't be resisted, "Ooh, okay then, I'll trust Usagi and her friend to look after you, just make sure you two behave... and stay out of trouble..." she groaned with an exasperated sigh... "Funny, I thought Hotaru was already onboard..." Miss Sakurada muttered to herself.

The four girls then boarded their coach and met up with the others, Ami, Minako and Makoto, everyone was excited to be going to the beach, no one notice two familiar looking students at the back spying on them and giggling amongst themselves, they looked like, one looked just like Minako and the other looked just like Usagi, they both chuckled evilly...

After a few hour journey, the coaches arrived at the beautiful seaside resort, there was a party atmosphere in the air, the students hurried off the coaches and were led to the changing rooms to change, Usagi and the others were unaware they were being watched by someone other than the three impostors...

The students placed their school clothes into their lockers, now that they were in there beach clothes, the girls the left their transformation items the lockers for safe keeping, which was probably not a good idea.

"Wait..! what do you think you're doing..!" cried the entity within the Shadow Moon Crystal crossly, but it was too late, "Nooo I hate being locked up..!" the voice groaned sadly, however, everyone had gone...

The vast beachfront was very busy, there were various rides, stalls and vendors everywhere, as well plenty of shops, restaurants, arcades and even a swimming pool as well as various other facilities near the entrances, there was even a massive television screen and a stage, where some pop idols were singing...

Once they changed into their swimsuits the girls met at the harbour, the stood at the end of the pier by a small lighthouse, taking in the scenery, the sunshine was very bright, reflecting off the ocean's surface, in silhouette. Makoto, Ami and Minako looked out to sea while Yuzuki stood apart from them waiting for the others, Rei chuckled mischievously and ran towards her friends, pushing a certain girl, much to her surprise, off the harbour wall, into the water below, alerted by the startled scream and a loud splash. the others spun around and looked at Rei completely dumbfounded.

"Hey! That's so dangerous! Rei how could you do that... to her of all people... that's really mean..!" gasped a certain extremely angry voice, having just arrived late, with Chibiusa and Hotaru, who were now both glaring at Rei, they were very confused and very ticked off, it seemed, Rei, eager to gloat over her prank, didn't notice this at first.

"Ha-ha-haa, I could just imagine the look on Usagi's face going into the wat-" laughed Rei before freezing, her face dropped as she slowly turned to face a dry and very cross Usagi, Rei quickly realized to horror what she had just done. "Oh no..." she gulped guiltily.

"H-help... I... I can't swim...!" choked a very distressed voice from Yuzuki.

"Hang on Yuzuki... I'll get you!" called Makoto, diving into the water to rescue her.

A short while later, Yuzuki, dripping wet, sat huddled, wrapped in a towel, on the Harbour wall trembling. "Th-that wasn't very nice... I didn't like that at all..." she whimpered, her eyes closed tightly to block out the harmful sunlight, as she'd lost her protective sunglasses in the water.

"I'm very Sorry Yuzuki... I was only playing... I err, mistook you for Usagi, I'm so sorry..." apologized Rei desperately.

"And that make's it better... how? and what if she'd drowned..." snorted Usagi, still fuming.

"I just didn't think, If I had known it was Yuzuki and that she couldn't swim... oh Yuzuki I really am sorry, I'd never intended to hurt anyone, least of all you..." continued Rei remorsefully.

"What are you doing here anyway..? questioned Ami.

"I err, heard you guys were going to the beach... so I, umm, took the day off school to join you guys..." replied Rei awkwardly.

"You're playing hooky... that's so naughty Rei!" groaned Chibiusa incredulously.

"Well, I couldn't let you guys have all the fun... I was hoping to surprise everyone..." sighed Rei guiltily.

"Humph..! you certainly surprised poor Yuzuki..." grumbled Usagi, still a little annoyed.

Hotaru, who had gone to one of the stalls, came running back with a new pair of sunglasses for Yuzuki, which she quickly handed to her.

"I know you're all wet now but at least your hair's all sparkly..." smiled Hotaru reassuringly, as Yuzuki slipped on her new shades.

"But I don't want to sparkle..." sighed Yuzuki sadly

"Yuzuki... please forgive me..." sniffed Rei pleadingly, Yuzuki looked away from her, her face unreadable, "...Please" whimpered Rei nearly in tears, Yuzuki then beamed a cheeky smile at her.

"Oh, Rei... of course I forgive you... I wasn't even mad at you to begin with, just confused, and even if I was I'd never stay mad for long because you're one of my dear friends and I'll forgive my friends no matter what!" giggled Yuzuki teasingly...

The girls headed to the beach and started to play, enjoying themselves immensely. Usagi decided to take a stroll and spotted Yuzuki drinking a can of ginger beer, she was wearing a different Swimsuit than before, Yuzuki hadn't noticed Usagi it seemed, finishing her can she casually tossed it away, though she was standing by a bin, the empty can landed at Usagi's feet. "Mmm tasty..!" Yuzuki smiled mischievously and walked off in the opposite direction.

"Yuzuki..!? Yuzuki Kage..! I can't believe you just did that... you shouldn't litter..!" Usagi called after her, then realized something very odd... "Did she say tasty..!? she can't taste anything and where were her shades? she's blind without them in the sunlight.. oh no..!" she gasped. in realization.

Now some distance away, 'Yuzuki' smiled coldly, "hmm... So Yuzuki Kage is that girl's name, she must be Vampire Moon..!" mused the impostor "We now need to get her to transform into Vampire Moon, to confirm our suspicions, oh, this is too easy..!" chuckled the impostor evilly. just at that moment, the real Yuzuki appeared, looking for Usagi, holding an ice cream each for them. Before the real Yuzuki saw her, with a shake of her head the fake Yuzuki's hair changed from black to blond and her eyes because blue, the impostor now looked like Usagi again, she then skipped over to Yuzuki. "Hey girlfriend!" she greeted happily hugging her.

"Hi Usagi... you seem really happy, did something happen..? Oh, I see you've brought a new swimsuit, I like it..!" giggled Yuzuki, nearly dropping the icecreams.

"Yeah, and I'm happy to see you because I looove you so much!" cheered the impostor.

"Ha-haa, I love you too... I guess..." laughed Yuzuki blushing, feeling somewhat little confused.

"No I mean it, you're Vampire Moon, you're so great and I really do love you, I love sooo much... I want to be with you" cooed the impostor passionately, Yuzuki stepped back in shock, her eyes bulging, her face turning pinker,

"U-Usagi... You're m-my best friend... but I'm not that way inclined, I hope I didn't give that impression, I'm not attracted to boys or girls... I just want friendship... and wh-what about Mamoru you're supposed to be in love with him... you're getting married..!" squeaked Yuzuki, confused, speaking quickly.

"I don't care, it's you I want... only... you..." purred the fake Usagi, she closed her eyes and leaned over to kiss her... but after a pause she realized Yuzuki had vanished, the impostor opened one eye and saw the only evidence that Yuzuki had been there was the two dropped icecreams, the fake Usagi grinned wickedly.

"Hey, you there! stop pretending to be me..!" yelled Usagi furiously, having seen all this, she ran towards the impostor, the fake Usagi whipped around to face her still grinning unnervingly.

"Ah if it isn't U-Sagi tits... or should I call you Sailor Moon-butt..." sneered the impostor cruelly, revealing her true form... it was unmistakably Sailor Moon's And Sailor Chibi Moon's evil counterpart, the sinister Raider Moon.

"Whah... Stop being so rude and so mean, I don't have saggy tits..!" grumbled Usagi, looking at her bossism.

"Oh, so yah admit to having a moon butt..!" mocked Raider Moon spitefully.

"You're awful... stop calling me names... I'm Sailor Moon and I'll punish you..!" yelled Usagi angrily.

"Ha!... forgetting something silly... shouldn't you change into Sailor Moon first before saying that!" teased Raider Moon mockingly, pointing at her chest and poking her tongue out at Usagi.

"I'll get you..!" Moon Pris-" began Usagi, before realizing to her horror she'd left her transformation broach with her School Uniform, in the changing room locker.

"Not if you can catch me firrrrst, tee-hee!" giggled Raider Moon, viciously kicking her to the ground, then she ran away "Have fun with my sisters... U-Sagi-butt..!" she laughed tauntingly.

"Get back here coward...! you nasty, mean creep...! How many of you guys are there anyway..!" yelled Usagi after her, "There's now Raider Moon..!? This is bad, very bad...!" groaned Usagi worriedly, crawling back to her feet, rubbing her brushes...

Meanwhile, Naru, wearing a cute Earth-Chan t-shirt, over her bikini, was sitting on a sun-bed, under a parasol reading the novel 'War of the Worlds", minding her own business. Raider Venus and Raider Saturn, in there Minako and Hotaru disguises, watched her with mischievous intent, they were plotting something.

"Hey, Isn't that Sailor Moon's good friend Naru..!? Let's kidnap her or something..!" suggested Raider Venus wickedly.

"Oh, okay then... but only if I can paint her green..!" replied Raider Saturn excitedly.

"Umm why do you want to paint her green exactly?" asked Raider Venus, confused by her randomness.

"Ha, because she won't be blue..." giggled Raider Saturn in response, as if this was perfectly logical, it was impossible to tell if she was being serious or not, they slowly tiptoed over to Naru ready to grab her from behind, she seemingly hadn't noticed them.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you..." growled Naru irritably, without moving. The two raiders froze in their tracks wondering how the hell she knew they were even there let alone that they weren't Minako or Hotaru, "if you're thinking of kidnapping me, just don't bother, I hate Sailor Moon now, even more than you guys do, so back off or you'll regret it" snarled Naru impassionately.

"Eh? you're just some normal girl, what can you do against us..?" questioned Raider Venus confused dropping her disguise.

"Yeah, are you going unleash some weird dinosaur creature on us... mmm dinosaurs... I like dinosaurs!" giggled Raider Saturn, wiggling her hips tauntingly, now in her true form.

"Dinosaurs...? what they got to do with anything...?" questioned Naru, with a puzzled, with an irritated glare.

"Don't ask..." sighed Raider Venus, rolling her eyes in exasperation.

"...Anyway you idiots.. seriously... JUST LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY OR YOU'LL BE SORRY!" yelled Naru furiously, her eyes glowing with malevolent rage and energy, terrifying the two raiders.

"Eek..! She's scary, Okay we're go-going! We're going!" squealed the Warrior Raiders in panic, scampering away as fast as they could "Sheesh, what just happen... we're supposed to be the bad guys here..!" grumbled Raider Venus in shock as they ran, Naru casually sat back down and went back to her book as if nothing had happened...

Now some distance away, Raider Venus and Raider Saturn slammed into Raider Moon, forcing her to revert to her true appearance as they all fell to a heap in the sand, "What the hell are you two doing..! we're on a mission here to cause as much havoc and chaos as we can, while having some fun, stop messing around, we need to prepare our Proto-Minions!" groaned Raider Moon crossly, the other two jumped to their feet and nodded.

"Sure thing..!" agreed Raider Venus composing herself, "Umm... let's keep what happened between ourselves Raider Saturn, we'd never live it down... okay..." she quietly whispered into Raider Saturn's ear.

"Okay, I won't tell Raider Moon we got spooked by that girl, Naru!" cheered Raider Saturn loudly.

"What!?" growled Raider Moon upon hearing this.

"N-nothing..." sighed Raider Venus despairingly, giving Raider Saturn a dirty look...

Elsewhere, Usagi... the real one... searched for Yuzuki worriedly, she found her hiding locker room crouched in the corner.

"I... I don't want to be your girlfriend... n-not like this..." Yuzuki sobbed timidly.

"I love you too, but I don't want to be your girlfriend either... besides I've got Mamoru..." giggled Usagi reassuringly.

"b-but... you tried too... k-kiss me..." whimpered Yuzuki awkwardly.

"Kiss you...!?" gasped Usagi, shaking her head, "No Yuzuki, that wasn't me... it really wasn't" she frowned, Yuzuki blinked in confusion, "We got trouble, there's Warrior Raiders here, one of them looks like me... she can also disguise herself as you, we need get our transformation broaches quickly and warn the others... before they cause real problems..." continued Usagi urgently, Yuzuki gave a determined nod in agreement as Usagi helped her up.

"How do you know I'm the real Yuzuki and how do I know if you're the real... Usagi..? questioned Yuzuki worriedly, as they opened their lockers and grabbed their broaches, Usagi paused for a moment.

"Yuzuki... I need to tell you something... I found out something very important... please... please don't freak out..." began Usagi with a serious look on her face, she hesitated, unsure how to tell Yuzuki this and if she should tell her, "Yuzuki... I do love you, no not in that way... I love you because we're literally the same person... we somehow share the same soul. please don't ask how, I don't understand it myself either but just trust me on this... you feel it, don't you..? that we're are connected..?" explained Usagi, Yuzuki's eyes widened in surprise, then gently brushed Usagi's cheek and nodded, there was a sense of something strangely magical about this.

"Yes... I feel it too... we are the same..." she smiled warmly, she gently hugged Usagi, tears of joy trickled down both their faces.

"My apologies for interrupting this oh-so-special moment... but I absolutely despise being locked away, it's bad enough I'm trapped in the Shadow Moon Crystal..!" growled the voice from the Shadow Moon Crystal irritably. "Please don't do that again.. Queen Serenity made that mistake..." added the voice more softly.

"Oh... umm, sorry... my bad..!" gulped Yuzuki regretfully.

"It's okay... just please do it again... I'm not some piece of some decoration... I have feelings too... please understand this..." sighed the voice, with a hint of sorrow...

Back on the beach, the Warrior Raiders were busy collecting several clumps of rotting seaweed.

"Eww, this stinks... why must we do this..." complained Raider Venus with a disgruntled groan, holding her nose in disgust.

"Yep... and it's got loads of dead things in it as well, yay!" giggled Raider Saturn happily, while wearing some seaweed on her head for reasons known only to herself, while trying to balance on one leg.

"You two must stop mucking about and hurry up with that seaweed!" barked Raider Moon impatiently, pulling out some large vials of dark grey, bubbling ooze, from a lunch box, which they had with them

"Aye-aye captain..!" grinned Raider Saturn, saluting Raider Moon still trying to balance on one leg, before falling over and face-planting into the seaweed they'd collected. "Oh look... I got crabs..!" she giggled, the two other Warrior Raiders, rolling their eyes, glanced at each other, both giving an exasperated sigh of annoyance.

"Let's pretend she didn't just say that... better still... let's pretend she's not even here..." grumbled Raider Venus irritably, as Raider Saturn waved a pair of crabs, she'd found in the seaweed, at them...

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the beach, Minako and Makoto were playing volleyball together, while Ami sat on a beach towel, trying out her new supercomputer, Chibiusa and Hotaru were busy making sand castles.

"Aren't we too old for sand castles.. now..?" questioned Chibiusa, a little bored, Hotaru seemed surprised by this

"We're never too old for sand castles... besides wasn't this your idea..? she chuckled cheerfully.

"I wonder where Usagi and Yuzuki have gone to, they've been ages?" wondered Chibiusa anxiously.

"Last I knew, Usagi went exploring and Yuzuki wanted to buy some icecreams, trying to fit in no doubt, I know how she feels... I hope she's alright..." replied Hotaru thoughtfully.

"I've a bad feeling about this..." muttered Chibiusa to herself

"Maybe we should look for them..." suggested Hotaru, the two girls then ran off to look for Usagi and Yuzuki.

"Hmm... I'm getting some strange very strange readings..." murmured Ami worriedly, looking at the screen of her new Super Computer, but no one was listening...

Usagi and Yuzuki were rushing through the crowds, which wasn't easy, Yuzuki stopped for a moment.

"Ooooh..." she sighed unexpectedly, her eyes drooped and her knees buckled.

"Yuzuki we got to-" began Usagi hurriedly, before realizing Yuzuki was in trouble as if in slow motion, Yuzuki collapsed... Usagi quickly caught, her friend, in her arms "Oh no, Yuzuki, I know you can't help it... but now's really not the time to fall asleep..." yelped Usagi, holding on to her, so she didn't fall and hurt herself, Yuzuki was out cold... "Oh dear... poor Yuzuki..." groaned Usagi, wondering how often this happens to her and how many times she'd injured herself when there wasn't anyone there to catch her...

Just then Hotaru appeared, "What's wrong with little sleepy head..." she asked quietly.

"It's Yuzuki's narcolepsy and I forgot to bring some smelling salts with me!" answered Usagi.

"Oh... that's not good, she'll miss out on all the fun..." sighed Hotaru worriedly.

"That's the least of our problems..!" replied Usagi

"Ah... the Warrior Raiders are here... I err, guess..!" groaned Hotaru knowingly.

"Yeah, but then the Sailor Guardians don't have their transformation pens on them!" explained Usagi

"That's goo- I mean not good... I'd better grab them...!" exclaimed Hotaru, a little too excitedly.

"Hotaru... what's that awful smell..?" questioned Usagi, pulling a face.

"Oh..! Err, Umm... must have been something I ate... like really bad sushi or something, I'll catch you guys up... assuming 'Vamps' wakes up..." giggled Hotaru as she ran to the changing rooms...

Once in the changing rooms, 'Hotaru' went to her locker, instead of collecting her Transformation pen... she pulled out a video camera, Raider Saturn smiled mischievously...

Meanwhile, the other two Warrior Raiders carefully poured the vials of ooze into the seaweed.

"Where's Raider Saturn..! She so... so childish... and completely mad, I can't believe we have to babysit that brat..." grumbled Raider Venus irritably.

"We were told to take her with us... I guess Lord Charcon just wants her out of his hair... besides she's doing her job, like we're doing ours..." snorted Raider Moon, emptying the contents of her last vial, the Proto-Minions began to morph and take form, joining with the seaweed ...

Outside of the changing rooms, Usagi dragged the sleeping Yuzuki over to a bench and carefully lowered her on it.

"Come on Yuzuki... please wake up..! cried Usagi desperately "I know you can't help it... but we need you, we're a team, the ultimate double act..!" she pleaded,

"Chibi... Chibi..?" spoke a familiar voice, faintly, from behind Usagi, making her spin around in surprise but no one was there.

"It couldn't be... could it..?" she pondered in confusion, just at that moment Chibiusa and the real Hotaru arrived on the scene.

"Hotaru did you get the transformation pens..!?" asked Usagi urgently, Hotaru shook her head, confused.

"Watch out Chibiusa... she's a Warrior Raider!" gasped Usagi, jumping to the wrong conclusion.

"No, she's not, she's Hotaru and she's been with me since this morning!" protested Chibiusa defensively.

"But I just saw her go into the changing rooms and there's a Raider Moon... she disguised herself to look like Yuzuki and then me... she might be able to look like you..." questioned Usagi, starting to panic.

"Stop being such a meatball head Usagi, what are you going on about..!" groaned Chibiusa.

"Wait.!" gasped Yuzuki, bolting upright, as if someone had flicked a switch, "I heard everything while I was asleep, The 'Hotaru' you saw mentioned the Warrior Raiders being here, as if she'd already known about them, but you never told her!" she revealed thoughtfully.

"Ohh... right..!" sighed Usagi in realization, "You two, grab your transformation pens and the others, we've got serious trouble here, those creeps are up to something..!" she quickly told Chibiusa and Hotaru, the two girls nodded and hurried to the Changing Rooms.

"I think we should transform ourselves now..!" suggested Yuzuki worriedly.

"Sure, but what if you fall asleep while you're Vampire Moon?" asked Usagi, concerned about this.

"Apart from fainting that time, I haven't done so before... not sure why exactly that is though, I just feel so alert and alive as Vampire Moon..." replied Yuzuki with a cute chuckle.

"Ok then... " agreed Usagi, "Moon Prism Power..!" she yelled transforming into Sailor Moon...

"Shadow Moon Crystal Awaken..!" yelled Yuzuki, turning into Vampire Moon "It still feels strange turning into Vampire Moon during the day... I don't even need to wear sunglasses..!" she smiled blinking...

Neither had noticed a figure hiding in the bushes, Raider Saturn grinned with satisfaction, having caught their transformations on her video camera, this and Yuzuki's name was exactly what Lord Charcon wanted...

While Back on the beach, the Sailor Guardians were suddenly alerted to the screams of panic as a small army hideous seaweed-monster Proto Minions emerged from the sand and the water, terrorizing the students and beach-goers.

"Oh no... we haven't got our transformation pens with us, what a time to leave them in the lockers!" cried Makoto desperately, as the seaweed monsters surrounded them.

"Eww yuk! These guys stink, don't let them grab you!" warned Minako trying not to puke. Rei produced one of her sealing scrolls and tried to slap it on one of the disgusting monsters, the Proto-Minion fell on top of her as it dissolved.

"Nooo! I need a bath now!" groaned Rei, crawling out from the smelly seaweed covered in gunk, the Proto-Minion then began to reform itself, luckily Rei dodged it as it lunged at her.

Suddenly Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus appeared, "Stand back citizens, we'll handle these slimy creeps!" they announced dramatically.

"I'm Sailor Moon..!" yelled the fake Sailor Moon.

"And I'm Sailor Venus..!" yelled the fake Sailor Venus.

"We're going to punish these slimy creeps!" they both said in unison.

"Hang on... how can I be in two places at once...? They're impostors!" realized Minako.

"Oh no..! they're Warrior Raiders..!" Ami gasped in horror, checking the readouts on the Super Computer.

The fake Sailor Guardians began a mock battle with Proto-Minions... only it was a complete farce as the Warrior Raiders fooled and played around... the battle soon descended into a slap-stick comedy and everything was being captured on television.

"They're making Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus look like complete idiots... they're trying to make us look bad!" cried Rei angrily.

"I wish they'd stop... they're ruining my image..!" raged Minako, completely embarrassed by this.

"Not if we have anything to say about it, they won't!" called a voice, Sailor Chibi-Moon and Sailor Saturn appeared holding the Sailor Guardians transformation pens, standing behind them, the one who spoke was the real Sailor Moon, back to back with Vampire Moon, the television cameras quickly zoomed in on to the two of them "How dare impersonate the Sailor Guardians and make us look like fools... how dare you pretend to be me, I'm the real Sailor Moon and in the name of the Moon, I shall Punish you...!" she announced fiercely.

"I'm Vampire Moon and you'll wish I was punishing you..!" added Vampire Moon trying to sound confident.

"Looking good Vampire Moon, we're both on the big screen!" Sailor Moon informed Vampire Moon, possibly the worse thing to say to her right now, indicating the massive T.V. screen nearby showing all the action.

"Eep! I'm on telly... I can't be on telly, I'm much too shy!" Vampire Moon whimpered, trying to hide behind Sailor Moon timidly.

"It's ok Vampire Moon, they'll love you, besides we all know you're a hero now and you're super cute..!" smiled Usagi reassuringly, as she gently pushed a reluctant Vampire Moon into view.

"I... I think I'm g-going to faint..." blushed Vampire Moon nervously

"Don't you dare..!" giggled Sailor Moon kindly.

"When you two've finished... we haven't got all day you know!" snarked the fake 'Sailor Moon' mockingly.

"After that stupid performance, the whole world now knows you're fakes..! So show them what you really are... Warrior Raider villains..!" challenged Sailor Moon.

"But I'm the 'real Sailor Moon'!" giggled Raider Moon mockingly, pretending to cry.

"No you're not, I'm the one named Sailor Moon!" protested the real Sailor Moon angrily.

"Humph, if you insist..." spat the fake 'Sailor Venus'...

"To save the world from truth and... umm love... I'm Raider Moon" sneered Raider Moon, as if reading out a script, revealing her true form...

"To, err, unite the word in devastation..." growled Raider Venus, also revealing her true form...

"Hey! You've totally ripped that off from Pokemon's Team Rocket!" Makoto pointed out angrily.

"Meeoow! That's rrright..!" cheered Raider Saturn, popping out from between the two Warrior Raiders, wearing cat ears, "Ohh, that didn't sound right did it..? ah well, life's a beach eh..? Oh hi Sailor Saturn..!" she giggled cheekily, giving her counterpart a playful wave, Sailor Saturn awkwardly waved back.

"You're stealing Team Rocket's lines... this isn't Pokemon!" groaned Rei.

"If you gotta steal... steal from the best!" laughed Raider Moon evilly

"Just like you stole from the- *mmm-mmmhhh..!*" began Raider Saturn before Raider Venus quickly put her hands around her mouth to silence her

"Sssh, they're not supposed to know about that yet!" squealed Raider Venus crossly.

"Wow... they such have high standards..." snarked Sailor Chibi Moon sarcastically "Quick guys... you need to transform..." she added to the other Guardians.

"We can't transform here... the whole world will see us!" realized Ami as Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Saturn handed them their transformation pens, the girls rushed away, out of view and hurriedly rushed back now in their Sailor Guardian forms, no one questioned how quickly they did this.

"You guys take care of those monsters, we'll handle those fakers!" commanded Sailor Moon.

"Is it me or is Usagi getting bossy laity..." grumbled Sailor Mars.

"No, it's just you..." chuckled Sailor Venus as the Sailor Guardians dived into action.

"Vampire Moon we should combine our attacks, do as I do!" Suggested Sailor Moon, "Moon Tiara Action.." she then cried using her tiara as a boomerang...

"Sure thing... Shadow Moon Tiara Action..." agreed Vampire Moon, copying Sailor Moon's movements. Vampire Moon's silver tiara and Sailor Moon's gold tiara dramatically flew in a loop towards the Warrior Raiders... only for the two tiaras to crash into each other, just inches from Raider Moon's startled face, dropping to the sand below, Raider Moon blinked in confusion then gave an exaggerated relieved sigh.

"Ooh that's impressive, let me guess... that was Vampire Moon and Sailor Moon Drops-it Attack!" laughed Raider Moon sarcastically.

"Maybe we should have practised that first..." sighed Vampire Moon in exasperation. Suddenly a red rose swooshed down between them and the Warrior Raiders, catching the enemy and Vampire Moon by surprise, "Eep..! Ohh it's a pretty rose... err, someone throwing roses at us now!?" yelped Vampire Moon, utterly confused by this,

"Not at us, at the enemy, it's Tuxedo Mask and that's his calling card!" cheered Sailor Moon excitedly, as Tuxedo Mask appeared, to join the battle, once again Vampire Moon shyly tried to hide behind Sailor Moon.

"Umm, he must really like the bad guys if he's giving them roses!" gulped Vampire Moon.

"I have no love for these pretenders, listen to me Sailor Moon, you too Vampire Moon... to fight these childish fools you must show your better than them... you are not children... so show them that!" advised Tuxedo Mask.

"They're acting just like children!" realized Sailor Moon and Vampire Moon in unison

"Remember great minds think alike.. and Vampire Moon, don't be shy, confidence gives you strength... we all believe in you..!" added Tuxedo Mask, rushing off to aid the other Guardians as they fought the Proto-Minions.

"Confidence gives me strength..? Oh I get it, we have to out-think them..!" suggested Vampire Moon.

"I was about to say the same thing!" giggled Sailor Moon.

Meanwhile, the other Sailor Guardians and Tuxedo Mask were battling the formidable seaweed Proto-Minions but every time the took one down, it popped right back up again.

"This is impossible... they're too strong...!" cried Ami as she pushed one of them back with her water powers.

"We need to find their weakness.." called Tuxedo Mask as he fended off another that was about to grab her, using his cane, slicing it's 'arms' off.

"Sailor Jupiter the seaweed is wet, it's covered in seawater... use your lighting attacks on them!" suggested Ami

"...Sure... Jupiter Thunder Crash..." yelled Sailor Jupiter, launching her attack..."It's super-effective!" she cheered triumphantly, as one of the monsters burst into flames and fell apart.

"Now who's stealing from Pokemon!" chuckled Sailor Mars as she defended herself from another Proto-Minion.

While all this was taking place, Sailor Moon and Vampire Moon were fighting Raider Moon and Raider Venus, as powerful as they were, it was clear how inexperienced they were against Sailor Moon and even the hesitant Vampire Moon, who was resisting using her abilities.

"Yuzuki you are holding back... you can easily kill them all, why don't you..?" questioned the voice from Shadow Moon Crystal, "Use my power... our power!" suggested the mysterious voice.

"No.. I'm not strong enough to control my powers fully... and it doesn't feel the same as fighting the Proto-Minions, they're not just monsters, I... I can't just kill them..." frowned Vampire Moon.

"Yuzuki, like it or not they're our enemies, they're trying to kill us... I understand where you're coming from, I even agree with you... I hope we don't have to kill them, but they can't help being what they are... you need to defend yourself.. even if it means killing them..!" warned Sailor Moon

"Maybe they can change... you said it yourself, they're acting like children!" protested Vampire Moon

"We can only hope... just remember what Tuxedo Mask said to you, confidence gives you strength..!" sighed Usagi in agreement.

"Creatures like that do not change... they're agents of Chaos..!" growled the Mysterious voice resentfully.

"I don't know who the hell is speaking but that voice is right about one thing, we are agents of Chaos, we're enemies... now die Vampire Moon..! Die..!" screeched Raider Venus venomously, as she fired energy bolts at Vampire Moon, which she nimbly dodged with ease.

"Gah! show off..!" spat Raider Venus as Vampire Moon, twirled and dodge her and with a backflip, landed a few counter blows with her kicks.

"Wow, Vampire Moon you should join the school's gymnastics team..." cooed Sailor Moon, pausing to watch Vampire Moon's graceful, agile, acrobatic moments who was dealing with Raider Venus, Sailor Moon herself then effortlessly dodged Raider Moon, causing the villainous counterpart to stumble and trip in mid-air.

"Sure, I'll consider it... I'm just following you're lead!" smiled Vampire Moon with a shy giggle and winking.

"I'd second that... Vampire Moon so cool!" cheered Raider Saturn, waving a pair of flags with a V on one and an M on the other.

"Hey! who's side are you on!" barked the humiliated Raider Venus crossly, kicking Raider Saturn off the battlefield.

"Raider Saturn blasting ooooofffff..! tee-hee..!" laughed Raider Saturn as she shot up in the air and into a sand dune

"Gah... no fair... We're supposed to be stronger than you, you cheating cheaters..!" complained Raider Moon in frustration, as again Sailor Moon nimbly evaded her attack.

"Just because you're stronger doesn't mean you're better..!" replied Sailor Moon wisely.

"Yeah, Yeah, Whatever... you should meet our big sister, the 11th Warrior Raider, she's much more powerful than any of us... she's the scary one... wait till you find out who she is... anyway. we got what we came for, so we're outta here!" snapped Raider Moon, having enough of being beaten up by her heroic counterpart.

"Yeah... this isn't fun anymore, we'll get you later Sailor Moon! and you too, Vampire Moon... or should I say Yuzuki Kage... yes we now know who you are..!" hissed Raider Venus escaping through a portal, much to Vampire Moon's horror and confusion...

"But first... a not so little parting gift.. see yah laters, Sailor 'Saggy-Moon-Butt...!" laughed Raider Moon, clicking her fingers loudly, as she too disappeared into a portal...

The Proto-Minions began to merge and join together into one monstrous creature, still covered in seaweed, the combined Proto-Minion now wore an old animal skull over its head, it's left hand was a dead but now animated squid and it's right was a giant, barnacled encrusted crab's claw, it began to attack the Sailor Guardians.

"Eww gross..!" gasped the Sailor Guardians in horror.

"it looks terrible.. and that smell... I can hardly breath properly..!" groaned Sailor Jupiter.

"We should combine our power to take it down!" suggested Sailor Moon urgently, the Sailor Guardians surrounded the Proto Minion as it tried to attack them, circling it.

"Venus Love Chain Encircle..!" yelled Sailor Venus...

"Shine Aqua Illusion..!" yelled Sailor Mercury...

"Supreme Thunder Crash..! yelled Sailor Jupiter...

"Mars Celestial Fire Surround..!" yelled Sailor Mars...

"Moon Gorgeous Meditation..!" yelled Sailor Moon...

Their combined attack struck the monster hard, destroying its body, turning it to ash, it's life gem flew out of it remains, trying to escape.

"Shadow Vampiric Absorption..!" yelled Vampire Moon, striking down the life gem, shattering it, Vampire Moon absorbed it's energy, ending the battle.

"Oh-umm... that was easy..." sighed Sailor Mars...

The crowds watching then cheered at the Sailor Guardians victory, the news crew rushed in to interview them.

"Hi, I'd like to introduce our newest Guardian... Vampire Moon!" announced Sailor Moon, pushing a very reluctant Vampire Moon.

"Eek! No, noo, nooo, I'm n-not ready..!" Vampire Moon trying to resist, only to be bombarded with questions, she completely froze blushing vividly, she then turned invisible and slipped away.

"Aww.. she's really shy... sorry everyone..." chuckled Sailor Moon...

Meanwhile, Raider Saturn casually watched from the sand dune she was sitting on, "Aww the Sailor Goons won!" she grumbled throwing a little tantrum.

Suddenly she felt Sailor Saturn's trademark weapon at her cheek. she jumped and spun around, she quickly realized she was now being confronted by an angry Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Saturn. "Eek! Gotta go now..! Byeee..!" Squeaked Raider Saturn, opening a portal, jumping into it to escape...

Now the excitement had died down, everyone was now heading to the main car park where the coaches were parked, the Sailor Guardians were now back in their civilian identities.

"I'm really sorry Yuzuki, I shouldn't have pushed you in front of those cameras like that..." apologized Usagi, as the girls walked along.

"Oh... it's okay... I wish I wasn't so shy..." sighed Yuzuki awkwardly, "What I'm really worried about is, the enemy knows my true identity... I a bit... scared, I don't want anyone hurt because of me... I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to the people I care about, especially you guys" she added thoughtfully.

"Don't worry Yuzuki, we can handle anything they throw at us... we'll protect you..." grinned Minako, the others nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, we'll protect you Yuzuki..." smiled Usagi, patting her back "Just don't go overboard like you did last time, guys!" she giggled, addressing her friends.

"Last time..?" blinked Yuzuki in puzzlement.

"What I'm wondering is... who their 'big sister' is and is she really that powerful..?" pondered Mamoru, who was with them

"Remember, they took some of our life essences from each Guardian... I'm guessing the resurgent Dark Kingdom used that to create the Warrior Raiders..." pointed out Ami.

"Hang on, didn't Raider Moon say 'big sis' was the 11th... apart from Mamoru and now Yuzuki, there's only ten of us... who's essence did they get for the 11th?" questioned Makoto worriedly.

"They haven't even tried to take my essence..." noted Mamoru.

"Nor mine... in fact, they're far more interested in killing me instead, though I really don't understand why... I'm not special and my abilities are pretty useless compared to you guys..." sighed Yuzuki sadly, Usagi shivered at the memory of what Chibiusa had previously told her about Yuzuki's potential death.

"Don't say that Yuzuki... you're really amazing..." smiled Hotaru.

"I won't let that happen... I won't let Yuzuki Kage die!" declared Usagi determinedly, Chibiusa looked at her anxiously.

"Neither will I" she then proclaimed with the same determination.

"Okay... that was a little weird... but thanks anyway..." giggled Yuzuki cheerfully, if a little nervously.

"We won't let anything happen to you either, you have Sailor Guardian protection!" cheered the others reassuringly

"But that still doesn't answer the question, who could this 11th Warrior Raider be..?" sighed Yuzuki...

Unseen by them, a mysterious girl, dressed in a long but form-fitting trench coat and a wide-brimmed hat, with very long blond hair, that turned red near the end, observed the girls from afar...

Now at the car park the girls, to their surprise they spotted loads of armoured police vans, to their horror, they found themselves surrounded by armed police officers all pointing their guns at them... more specifically... an utterly terrified Usagi...

"She wouldn't do such a thing, I've known her for years, she has her faults but she's a good person... I refuse to believe she would be capable of doing something like this... it's just not possible... you're making a terrible mistake..!" argued Miss Sakurada defensively as a detective wrote down her statement.

"Ma'am we have C.C.T.V. footage showing what she did, there's no mistake... the evidence is pretty damning..." the detective then marched over to the girls.

"Usagi Serena Tsukino, you are under arrest for armed robbery, vandalism, littering... oh and various other misdemeanours..." began the detective to a very shocked Usagi...

"But... but..." whimpered Usagi starting to cry loudly as the detective impassively read her, her rights. "It wasn't me... it wasn't... I didn't do it... I'm totally innocent... I need a lawyer!" she cried desperately as she was bundled into the back of a police van. the others tried to protest, Yuzuki was in hysterics.

"Nooo, she hasn't done anything wrong..! she's innocent..! Please don't take my best friend away... I'm nothing without her..! please don't take her away from meee..!" she screamed, banging her fists desperately against the police van as it drove away with a tearful Usagi inside.

"Stop that! or I'll charge you all for obstruction of justice..!" warned the detective, pulling Yuzuki back from being run over.

"Please be gentle with Yuzuki... she's disabled..." cried Rei protectively, grabbing hold of her trembling friend, who then fainted in her arms...

While all this was happening Naru anxiously watched from afar... at first she seemed worried, but then she gave a wicked grin, she pulled out her mobile and sent a text...

Mamoru's phone buzzed, he pulled out his phone and with a disturbed frown read Naru's spiteful text, which simply read, 'Good Riddance... :)'.

Mamoru scanned the area and spotted Naru, she gave him a sweet smile and a nod, then she casually walked away as he glared angrily at her... then he caught a glimpse of the girl in the trench coat and hat, standing close by, something about her made him shivered, a young child popped out from behind her, Mamoru had only seen this child briefly, once before, but he recognized her, it was unmistakably Chibi-Chibi.

"Chibi... chibi..." she said, she sounded very nervous.

Mamoru then glimpsed the much taller girl's face, her eyes were filled with great sorrow and regret, he also recognized her, which made his blood run cold, 'what's she doing here' he asked himself worriedly, but there was something else in this girl's eyes, was it fear? he wondered with a shiver as a police car drove by, obscuring his view for a moment when it passed the girl and her small companion had disappeared completely as if they'd never been there at all...

Hiding in the bushes nearby, the three Warrior Raiders watched with evil satisfaction... almost everything, except discrediting the Sailor Guardians had gone to plan.

"Ooh Lord Charcon and Queen Beryl will be most pleased, now Sailor Moon is out the way...!" laughed Raider Moon. Just at that moment, Raider Galaxia appeared.

"Excellent work.. sisters..." she purred evilly, with a malevolent gleam in her eye...

To Be Continued...
