Author's Note: I'm back already with a new update which is a good thing. Since my school year is coming to a close, there is less homework for me and that means more time to write my chapters. This chapter is going to be a short one though and more on the filling side but I'm planning to make the next one a huge shock. Also I'm going to try to get this Act and Act 11 out today but if I don't, sorry. I'm so happy that I've reach Act 10 for this story. Thanks for all who kept reading and reviewing. Virtual cookies to all! Recap on last chapter: Sir Cirus, aka Shawn and the solar guardian of Mercury, joins the group as Elizabeth and Nicholas find each other again. Leah wonders if she would ever join the other Senshi with her current team at their greatest. What happens next? Read on to find out!

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any Sailor Moon related characters. But I do own my own OCs such as Elizabeth, Hiyoshi, Nicholas, etc.

Act Ten:

Hidden Truths:

Leah, Elizabeth and Naomi were all squeezed into one booth at Sunshine Cafe. They were waiting for Shane and Shawn to arrive so they could just discuss some stuff. Leah was just finishing informing Elizabeth and Naomi about the incident she was called by the other Senshi to help take down Nephrite. (A/N: This event happened in KyronP's In The Name Of the Moon).

"And then Sailor Mars gave me a cold look when I came. Probably because we managed to get a rainbow crystal on our first tries while they had multiple chances to get them and they only got one. But on the other note, she transformed into Princess Mars," Leah finished explaining.

"Wow that doesn't really surprise me though. Mars was always the intimidated type. And plus I already knew about the Princess Mars thing. Psychic abilities," Naomi commented while Elizabeth nodded her head. Leah rolled her eyes; it was so not far that Naomi knew everyone's identities and such. The door jingled as Hiyoshi walked inside the cafe. He noticed Leah, Elizabeth and Naomi all hunched together, talking about something. He smirked and walked over, slipping into a seat beside Leah. She immediately stopped talking as she stared over at him.

"Hey guys. I thought I should stop by and see Nicholas when I saw you guys here. What's up?" he asked, leaning back on his seat. Leah looked a little nervous, wondering if Hiyoshi had heard their conversation.

"Oh nothing really; just talking," Leah said as she fiddled with the salt and pepper shakers. She didn't want to make eye contact with him or else he would notice that she was lying.

"Oh is that so? Then what's so important that you had to hide from me?" Hiyoshi looked at Leah while raising one eyebrow up. He was trying to pry a believable answer out of her. He wanted to know what the whole story was and why he couldn't know. Plus he always knew that Leah wasn't the best liar around.

"Well we were just talking about my secret obsession with the Lion King movies. Yes that's it; I love all three of them. Simba is just awesome and I began to tear up when his father died. And I love the whole love scene between Simba and Nala! It was so sweet and I love the song they used for it. And I love that Simba's daughter, Kiara, in the second movie fell in love with an outlander named Kovu! And in the last movie, I just love how funny Timon and Pumba were." Elizabeth went on talking about the three Lion King movies and how much she loved them. At first Leah thought she was just trying to make it up on the spot but then she kept on going about how much memories those movies brought back. (A/N: Sorry I just had to put that in. I love the Lion King and all the movies so I just had to put it in).

Naomi rolled her eyes, "Enough with the Lion King freak already Liz!" Elizabeth started to argue with Naomi about how the Lion King shouldn't go unrecognized.

"Hey the Lion King is the best Disney movie out there! And for a lion, Simba's pretty hot. If I was a lioness I would so fall in love with him," Elizabeth admitted while Leah just looked at her. Elizabeth was really obsessed with that movie.

"Oh so you would dump me for a lion in a Disney movie?" a voice asked behind them. Elizabeth turned around to see Nicholas standing there with a smirk on his face. She guessed that he heard her little comment.

"Come on Nicholas you know I was just kidding," she said sweetly as he pretended to be upset. She got up and gave him a peck on the cheek which seemed to cheer him up. Hiyoshi looked at his friend, confused. Since when did he and Elizabeth start going out?

"Did I miss something here?" Hiyoshi asked with the confused look on his face.

"Oh so Nicholas hasn't told you yet?" Elizabeth turned to Nicholas with one eyebrow raised up. Nicholas just shrugged. "Well two days ago we started dating."

"I tried to tell you Hiyoshi but you said you were late for your training and left before I could say anything," Nicholas admitted, running a hand through his blond hair. "At least now you know."

"Yeah thanks for the update dude," Hiyoshi replied before getting up in his seat. "I got to go now; I have another training session to go to. Nicholas you want to give me a cookie to go?" Nicholas just nodded as he headed back to the front counter.

"You know Hiyoshi, all work and no play makes you a dull person," Leah smirked at him, obviously kidding with him. Hiyoshi looked at her, unaffected by her comment.

"Well you won't be saying that once I win and you lose at the finals. After what I heard about you coming in third, it sure seems like it will happen. It's what people call these days 'bad fighting skills'," Hiyoshi retorted. Leah winced back as if she'd just been slapped. That comeback actually did to get her and it kind of hurt.

"Hiyoshi that wasn't really nice." Naomi narrowed her eyes at him but he just shrugged. Nicholas came and gave Hiyoshi the cookie and he paid and left the cafe quickly. Elizabeth stared at the place Hiyoshi was standing before; she really couldn't believe he said that to Leah. It was uncalled for and unnecessary when Leah was just joking. Leah was still trying to recover from the shock. She knew that Hiyoshi had a cocky attitude and could be a jerk at times but never like this. And especially after how nice he acted towards her on their date.

"Something is wrong with him," Elizabeth whispered softly. She always knew that Hiyoshi was a kind person inside and she always seen how he and Leah would argue but never like this. She looked over at Leah who was still frozen in the same position.

"Leah, are you alright?" Naomi asked with concern for her friend. She was a confident girl but she still had a soft, delicate heart. She was already having a hard enough time worrying about the Dark Kingdom and their attacks. She didn't need to worry about if she was good enough in martial arts too.

Leah pushed back in her chair, shaking her head slowly. "You know, I don't feel like eating anymore. Tell Shawn and Shane I'm sorry. I'm just going to head back to the hotel." She grabbed her green tote, with Thor in it, and ran out of the cafe. Elizabeth sighed while Nicholas patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry Liz; I'm sure Hiyoshi didn't mean it. He was probably having a bad day. Remember he is the best bet to win in his division so there must be a lot of pressure and stress on him," Nicholas assured her. Elizabeth sighed, hoping he was right.

Leah's hotel room

Leah sighed as she stared up at her ceiling. She was sadder than she was furious at Hiyoshi. He was such a jerk. She couldn't believe that she ever thought he was nice or sweet or any other good characteristics like that. Thor looked at Leah, wishing he knew some way to help. He started to think of the news that Sailor Mars was Princess Mars. That just left Leah as Princess Jupiter. He could have told her already but decided not to. It would be best if he let the awakening come naturally. Plus he didn't want to bother her with any more stress. He was knocked out of his state of thought when Leah suddenly asked him a question.

"Thor, was the people of the Silver Millennium always nice to each other? How about the people of Jupiter? Did they ever say mean things to each other?" she asked quietly. Thor looked at her then walked over to her, leaping onto her stomach.

"Yes Leah; everyone was nice to each in the past. There were some arguments and some petty fights but they would always make up in the end. The people of Jupiter were friendly and nice people even though they were always tall and quite strong. They were the solar system's best cooks too. Citizens of Jupiter were always kind to each other and caring in those rough times like during the war. Don't you remember any of this?" Thor asked.

"I remember some of it but I just wanted to be reminded of it. I wish people of this time were more like the past," Leah sighed again as she petted Thor.

"You know Leah; I will be there for you during the hard times. You can trust me to give you the best advice for you," he reminded her. Leah looked at him before bursting into a fit of giggles.

"Yeah everything except the troubles a girl can have. You were always terrible at giving that kind of advice. Now that I think of it, you give terrible advice for almost everything!" Leah laughed. Thor scowled at her; he did not give bad advice.

"Oh yeah? Well how about that time I told you to try out your new karate move on that bird youma?" Thor pressed.

"That caused the youma to grab my leg and swing me into a building!" Leah laughed some more.

"Really? I swore the youma broke a leg after you did that move! Well how about that time when I told you to use your lightning powers to power up the oven after it shut down?" Thor tried. One thing about Thor was that he didn't like to admit he was wrong at times because he was usually right.

"I did but then it caused the wires to short-circuit and the power in our whole suite shut off!" Leah reminded him. Thor racked his brain for more advice that he knew turned out in a good way.

"Umm how about that time-," Thor started but was cut off by Leah when she raised her hand.

"Thor, just admit that you give terrible advice but you are still a good guardian cat and great friend okay?" Leah grabbed him off her stomach and raised him high in the air.

"Fine," Thor grumbled as he crossed his arms. Leah laughed and brought him back down so she could kiss the crescent moon on his forehead. Thor looked at her with wide eyes then turned away, a very slight blush creeping to his cheeks. "Aww you're blushing! Isn't that adorable?" Thor swiped at her with his paws but she dodged, waging her index finger at her. "You can't do that to me Thor! I am your master and you have to respect me because I'm older and more mature than you are!"

"Older than me?" he huffed. "I'm thousands of years older than you!" Leah rubbed his head while laughing her head off. Thor could always cheer her up when she was feeling down. She stopped when she felt her communicator vibrating in her pocket. She pulled it out and Sir Cirus appeared on the screen.

"What's up Shawn?" she asked him through the communicator.

"There is a youma attacking some people in Egypt. Elara and Themis are taking care of another youma in Sydney, Australia and Hyperion went off...somewhere. Meet me here in front of the museum okay," Sir Cirus reported and Leah nodded. She ended the transmission and locked eyes. She orbed her transformation pen into her hand.

"Jupiter Power!" She waved her pen in a circle before starting her transformation. The light died down as she ended her transformation and jumped out her room window and onto the streets below.

She ran by an alleyway with a bench but stopped and walked back a few steps. There she saw Hiyoshi and her other rival Stacey, leaning so close that from her view it looked like they were kissing. Stacey giggled and Jupiter quickly became furious. How dare he do that to her? He knew that Stacey was her competition and her rival. Stacey always had a crush on Hiyoshi but he never liked her back because she wasn't his type. He was officially a jerk. Jupiter ran away from the alleyway; she couldn't take another look. Jupiter created a portal to the museum and she and Thor leaped through it.

Hiyoshi was leaning closer to Stacey while she giggled softly. Then his eyes turned a pale yellow as Stacey felt her eyes drooping. She collapsed in the alleyway while Hiyoshi held out his hand where a ball of energy appeared. He smirked and walked away from the alleyway, leaving a passed out Stacey on the street.

Sir Hyperion was up on the roofs above, watching as Hiyoshi walked away from a girl. He knew something wasn't right all along. Something was controlling him to do these things. Hyperion also bet that Hiyoshi wasn't his real self when he came to the cafe that morning. He followed Hiyoshi all the way back to the hotel he was currently staying at. Hyperion leaped over to the window ledge and peered through.

Malachite was smiling deviously as Hiyoshi leaned down on his knees and presented the ball of energy to him with his head bowing down. "You were successful my puppet though this was only a test. Now that you have passed it, it is time to go for something even greater than energy. A rainbow crystal," Malachite started. Hyperion's eyes widened as he bent down more so he could hear well.

"I will not fail you master. I exist only to serve you and the Dark Kingdom," Hiyoshi mumbled. Malachite reached in to take the energy ball from his hand. Now it's my turn, Hyperion thought as he burst through the window and kicked the energy ball away from Malachite. He growled as he thrust his hand forward and a single white beam hit Sir Hyperion in the chest, knocking him into the wall.

"Oh look it's one of Sailor Jupiter's wonderful solar guardians," Malachite said sarcastically. A blue beam blasted out of the tip of his index finger and surrounded Sir Hyperion, temporarily paralyzing him. He couldn't move his body at all; not enough to orb his communicator over to him. Malachite sensed this and laughed. "Don't even waste your time; your friends won't come. They are too busy fighting off the youma I sent to distract them. But do you know why I have chosen this boy to be my servant? Because one day I found him walking on the streets and he had a different sense of energy about him so I decided to probe his mind and I found out he had a dream about Sailor Jupiter! She must have known him in some way if he'd been dreaming about her. That's how I knew he was going to be my servant. After I'm done with him, I'll just suck the energy dry out of him!"

Sir Hyperion shot a dirty look at Malachite. "You won't get away this! My friends will notice that I am gone and they will track me down to get to you!"

"Poor unfortunate soul; you're very lucky I didn't kill you...yet. And they will never notice," Malachite snickered. A familiar feeling passed through Hyperion's mind and he smirked.

"Are you sure about that?" Hyperion asked slyly but before Malachite could answer, Sailor Themis and Sailor Elara knocked the door down and both came in and kicked Malachite in the face. He screeched and the blue beam disappeared and Hyperion was free. But Malachite managed to regain his composure and blasted Elara and Hyperion to the wall. He casted a strong force on them so they couldn't move.

Malachite started creeping towards Sailor Themis who kept on backing up until her back was against the wall. He launched a punch but Sailor Themis managed to duck and jabbed her knee to his stomach then elbowed him in the back, causing him to release the force that had Elara and Hyperion stuck to the wall.

"You guys alright?" she asked, helping Elara and Hyperion up. They dusted off their uniforms and told her they were fine. "Let's finish him." They all surrounded him and prepared to attack.

"Lightning Sonic Whiplash!"

"Breaking Dawn Blast!"

"Flaming Fire Tornado!" The wave of attacks hit Malachite all at once. He wailed; he was weak and if he didn't transport out of there he would have been severely hurt. Hiyoshi's eyes turned back to their normal green as he slumped back onto the floor.

"Uhh what's happening?" Hiyoshi moaned as he tried to look at the three heroes but he couldn't see straight. He was still in the aftermath of being controlled like a puppet. Hyperion looked at Sailor Themis and she nodded; it was time.

"Come on guys; we should probably go help Sailor Jupiter and Sir Cirus in Egypt," Elara said as she pressed the portal button on her communicator. A portal appeared where the Pyramids of Giza were in view. Sailor Themis went over to the portal but Sir Hyperion stayed in his position. "Aren't you coming Hype?"

Sailor Themis shook her head; he had to stay behind. "You guys go ahead; I have some official business to take care of." Elara shrugged and leaped through the portal with Sailor Themis right after. Hyperion quickly depowered and bent down beside Hiyoshi.

Nicholas shoved him gently. "Hiyoshi get up. We need to talk..." he began.

Next day, near Leah's training gym

Hiyoshi was running through the streets frantically looking for Leah. He spotted her with her green Addidas gym bag and she was heading over to her training session. He had to apologize to her. Nicholas told him everything the day before; the truth and all. Hiyoshi had to explain that he wasn't exactly himself.

"Leah wait up!" Leah heard his call but did not stop; she didn't want to see him. He was a stupid jerk and that was all he was ever going to be. Hiyoshi slowed down to a jog as he approached her and finally stopped right in front of her. "Get out of the way Hiyoshi; Scott doesn't want me to be late." Leah tried her best not to snap at him but her voice still had an edge to it.

"I know you're mad at me but let me just explain!" Hiyoshi told her but she just crossed her arms. "I wasn't myself yesterday and I know that I called your fighting skills bad but I swear I didn't mean it. Look it's kind of hard to explain," Hiyoshi ran a hand through his black hair.

"Well maybe you can explain it to Stacey instead," Leah scowled before walking again. Hiyoshi was dumbfounded but then he remembered what happened. He ran up to Leah again.

"Stacey is not my girlfriend; I never liked her in that way. You know that. I'm really sorry that I acted like a jerk towards you," Hiyoshi apologized. Leah huffed at him.

"Acted like a jerk? No Hiyoshi you didn't act like a jerk because you are a jerk!" Leah growled at him. Hiyoshi grew a little mad though; why couldn't she just accept his apology? It wasn't like he could tell her the whole truth.

"What's your problem anyway? First you call me a jerk but then you tell me I'm a nice person and now you're calling me a jerk again. Why don't you just accept my apology? Or at least make up your mind?" Hiyoshi demanded, crossing his arms as well.

"Fine! I never want to see you again and I already made up my mind!" Hiyoshi stood there shocked while Leah walked passed him and headed towards the gym. He watched as Leah walked out of eyesight. He didn't have a choice; he just couldn't tell her the truth. She wouldn't believe him if he did. For now the truth had to stay hidden.

A/N: I'm done with Act 10! Act 11 will bring great surprises and in Acts 12 and 13, you'll discover the secrets of Leah's past; before the Dark Period and after when the Negaverse attacks. Didn't take as long as I thought actually. Next update will hopefully be soon! Have a good one! Read and Review!
