Light of Hope

Chapter Eleven

A cold burst of air blew through the trees and ruffled the leaves. Lightening struck above and was followed by the deep rumble of thunder.

Usagi's sapphire eyes closed abruptly and she winced, jumping into Makoto's arms. She was still shaken by thunder storms, she always felt safer when she was with Makoto during these storms. Or Mamo-chan...

The Storm Warrior held Usagi tightly, protectively, and glared towards the shrine steps where the loud foot steps were the only noise other then the thunder rumbling in the distance and the wind howling around them. She could tell the storm was not normal. It had completely accumulated from nothing in a sudden burst. The weather was her forte, Rei had her shrine and Miko abilities, Minako had her empathy, Ami had her genius but her, she had storms. Thunder storms. Lightening. She could feel them coming, and she could tell when they were ebbing. She could feel the power of the storm in her veins like the bolts of lightening she controlled as Jupiter.

She shared a look with the others, and they looked right back. They didn't need to feel the strange occurrence of the storm, they all felt the uneasy vibe in the air as something continued to approach them from the steps of the Hikawa Temple.

Hiiro moved in front of Relena, he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't see anything but he had followed the eyesight of all the girls as they faced the front of the steps. Then, over the wind he could hear it. Thick thuds, a heavy boots footfall.

Between the red pillars of the temple entrance, the crescent of someone's head could be seen. It was a man in a white theatrical mask that nearly covered his entire head save for the pale, ghostly white skin of his chin, and lips set into a near feral grin.

As they watched this strange man take the final steps to the temple, where they could see his full figure they tensed instantly at the massive form in front of him. He was huge.

He was dressed completely in black, steel tipped boots covering his feet, ankles and calves made of black leather and what appeared like silver wrapping around his boots in the shapes of snakelike dragons. Black baggy cloth pants hung around his lean hips and strong legs to meet a simple black tunic with a single line of silver down the middle. His arms were bare, and rippled with muscles upon muscles where black tattoos of winged dragons encircled each arm right down to the tail wrapping around his middle of his fingers.

Tall, was a grave understatement. He had to have been eight feet, at the very least.

His lips were in an amused smile. "The Peacecraft Princess." His voice was low and smooth, but an edge of a growl could still be heard in his mirthful tone.

Hiiro and Usagi turned to look at Relena before turning back to the strange man before them, cautious. Both frowning. Hiiro instantly grabbed his gun, his hand on the hilt, but he made no move to do otherwise. Usagi gripped her broach, she noticed Rei's hands in her sleeves, she was sure the girl was fingering her Mars Crystal, she saw Minako's hand dive into her pocket. They held their crystallized powers as if they were loaded guns, but made no move to use them either, yet.

Usagi stepped out of Makoto's protecting arms, her friend almost refusing to release her in front of this intimidating figure before her hand fell into her pocket and she frowned, eyes glued to her surrounds, trying to find anything out of place that could be a threat. Her focus on the man was still one hundred percent. He was a threat, the feel of the storm, was exactly what she was feeling from him. It was easy for her too see who made the supernatural thunder.

Usagi took a step closer to Relena. "Who are you and what do you want with Princess Relena?"

The man chuckled, it almost sounded like a purr. A dangerous sound. "My name is none of your concern." He smirked. "However, you know of Sailor Moon, do you not? You had been talking as if you know her personally, yes?" A strange yet alluring accent.

Usagi took a step back. He had been listening to them... how long had he... where had he...?

Relena looked at Usagi shocked, almost like she'd been betrayed. "Is it true?" Could Usagi really know Sailor Moon? Was she... friends with her? Was that why it was Sailor Moon that would rule the world...? It wasn't fair... wasn't she Usagi's friend too?

Minako frowned and stepped over to stand in front of Usagi, pulling her darker blond double to the side and behind her. Away from Relena. "We all do." She faced the man again with an authoritative look. This was the courage of the inner planetary system's best warriors. Her duty, her responsibility. She had no idea who this man was but she knew just as well he wasn't human. She could feel nothing. It was an empty shell. It had no human emotion in it whatsoever, despite that cocky smirk she wanted to smack off his lips.

For some reason, she could sense a pulse from the Stone Sword, it was resonating for some reason. She could tell Usagi could feel it too. They were both deeply connected to the sword. It had been the blade entrusted to her, as the leader of Serenity's inner guard, her inner court, to protect the Princess. She had been slain in battle wielding it, and Serenity had used it to take her life... at the fall of the Silver Millennium.. and again as Sailor Moon after she stabbed Princes Endymion who had still be brainwashed...

She looked into this strange man's eyes beneath the mask. She couldn't see any detail but she was sure, he must not have any whites to his eyes at all. "State your name. You're in our home, it is our concern." Her brilliant sky blue eyes were narrowed into slits and she stood completely straight and tall. Confidant and cautious, her eyes never left his tall figure.

Rei moved to stand beside Minako, her hands shoved into the sleeves over her priestess garb, where her fingers clasped tightly around her henshin wand. Her nails scraped against the red crystal, her crystal. Mars. They wouldn't let him harm their home. This was her Temple. No one would attack her friends, or her, or her princess in her own home and get away with it. The fire in her veins burned, and she struggled with holding her henshin back. Minako made it clear. They didn't have to talk to know they shouldn't henshin unless an attack is initiated. "Or if you'd like, you may leave." Rei left her tone with nothing to chance. Everyone could feel the command in that simple statement.

He laughed again voice silky, but for some reason, beyond eerie. It was almost as if he were insane. "Why? I haven't done anything wrong. Although, I'm here peacefully, so as you wish." He bowed cockily at the waist, and it only reminded them of his height, because even bent in a bow, he was overbearingly big. It was intimidating. And he knew it. "You may call me Dark."

Ami frowned, her senses tingling like the frost in dawn spreading slowly along the cool morning ground. Her icy blue dew drops stared undeterred and her lips remained tight. She'd had to learn to trust her instinct, her gut. Science and math and patterns. Logic. Everything she had ever known had come into question as she had discovered she had already lived one life and was a magical warrior. Magic should be impossible, but she's living proof it's not. Magic isn't scientific. Not always.

Magic isn't science or math or patterns. It's feeling, it's what they call a gut instinct. It's apart of her every being, and since she's become Sailor Mercury, she's had to fight logic, with insanity. With feeling. She's had to find her inner heart. Something her father would always say she'd one day understand why he runaway to go paint abroad. Heart. Her power, her heart was her magic. And now her logic, the genius she'd spent years improving and learning, now had an illogical gut feeling. He was lying and she could feel it. "That is not your name."

He laughed, thoroughly enjoying his performance. "Why yes, you are correct." His smirk abruptly fell from his lips, his stance and jaw line clinched and serious. It was sudden and unnerving how his facial expressions had no transition. Frown. Scowl. Content. Mirth. It was fake but more than that. The way he did it, was just plain creepy.

Hiiro pulled the gun from the back of his jeans in one quick fluid motion, and aimed it at Dark. Dark's lips had twitched a tiny bit. His face hadn't moved at all, the lines of his face hadn't formed his clenching teeth scowl, it had just replaced the evil smile of before. Like flipping two pictures of the same mouth. No movement, just different still images of an expression. Until his lip twitched and warning bells sounds in his head. "Try anything, and I will kill you."

Everyone could hear easily, the truth and conviction of his words in a shockingly indifferent tone.

Dark was suddenly smirking again. Interesting… maybe I was about to try something. How clever, a mere human... a mere bug. "I am known as Dark. It is a name and that is what you asked for. It isn't a lie and yet…" he laughed, this was almost amusing. "It is not the truth either. I am an elite soldier, a warrior for the Dragon Clan." His smile fell suddenly and abruptly yet again, but this time instead of the creepy frown, his lips were set in an uncaring straight line. "I am not from this world. I am not from this… dimension."

Rei scowled already pulling her arm free to henshin, as Minako raised her hand from her pocket but Usagi's hands on their arms, gently urging their arms back into their previous position calmed them. Rei bit her lips until they bled, She tasted blood but she complied. For her, she stood back. Minako gave Usagi a tense smile. Rei was right, Usagi really was growing up. He hadn't attacked yet, they were getting ahead of themselves. They needed to wait, to learn, to know first. She'd gotten jumpy after Chaos had been sealed into the Galaxy Cordon.

He smirked again suddenly. "We came searching for the Silver Queen of the Crystal Empire, but found a rather pathetic and weak kingdom in it's place, ...and their pitiful princess."

Hiiro removed the safety on the gun with a resounding click.

Dark not only managed to mimic the click with his tongue but mimic it as if Hiiro had actually made the sound himself. Dark was looking thoroughly amused. He clicked his tongue in a disapproving way shortly after. "I have done nothing and I am… unarmed."

He didn't sound honest. Ami gripped her Mercury Crystal and frowned. He wasn't honest.

Relena was frowning deeply. "Why are you here? What does this Dragon Clan want with me?"

He laughed heavily, his head thrown back and his arms clutching his lean stomach. He back bent backwards as he hugged his waist and laughed as loud as the thunder all around them. His laughter cut off midstream and he slowly rolled back to stand straight again; his legs hadn't moved at all as his back straightened vertebrae by vertebrae, unnaturally slow, unnaturally strong and unnaturally tall. Powerful, Dangerous. It was just plain freaky. "We don't want you. We want the Silver Queen."

Every time he frowned, every time he turned his lips suddenly into a new expression without moving, as if his lips were a damn picture book, it sent shivers down their spines. They believed him when he said he wasn't human.

"I'm here to send a message to the Sailor Senshi and the Peacecraft Princess. We will ride on wings of fire, and deliver to you the gates of hell. We will have the Silver Queen and your world will be ours. She will be ours, even if it means the end of your Cinq kingdom."

Lightening suddenly lit up the sky, shooting towards the ground where he stood. Everyone shielded their eyes from the burst of strange red light, Relena and Usagi screaming in fright at the sudden attack. When they lowered their arms, the light gone, they opened dim eyes to Dark's disappearance.

Laughter replaced the thunder in the sky.

Hiiro turned his gun to the five girls, Relena behind him her face shocked.

"You are all now in the custody of the Cinq Kingdom."

Usagi's jaw dropped and her hair spilled over her shoulders like molten gold, to trail on the ground almost comically. Her knees grew weak and she fell down, her mouth still ajar. What had just happened? Had they almost just been attacked? They had a new enemy... the fighting wasn't over. It angered her. Her anger turned into utter disbelief at the jerk with the staring problem.

Makoto's fists clenched and her jade eyes remained dark and clouded like the dark storm above, she scowled. "Like hell!"

Rei crossed her arms, her wand hidden again in her sleeves untouched. Her hand twitched, she didn't care he was mortal, she'd fry his ass if he thought he was going to arrest her or her friends in her home. They had done nothing wrong. THEY, the Cinq Princess and her puppy soldier came to HER home, uninvited. Dark had come into HER home uninvited. They avoided having to henshin and any attack and he wanted to ARREST her? Oh, he's barbeque. "On what charges?"

Relena frowned her cornflower blue eyes sad and focused on Usagi's form. "I'm really sorry but you all know the Sailor Senshi. We must detain you and bring you to the palace." Her light brown almost dirty blond hair flew into her face and she brushed it back almost apologetically. "A war might break out. It's for the greater good that we find out what exactly is going on. We have to find the Sailor Senshi."

Ami's normally watery blue eyes seemed to frost over into an icy blue. Her short dark blue locks shimmered around her neck and face. "No. I don't believe you know about the greater good. The Sailor Senshi have done nothing wrong... and neither have we."

Usagi was looking into the sad face of Relena and sighed. "It's ok." The senshi gave her ludicrous looks but eventually they all nodded, their faith in her calming them.

Hiiro's glare was impossibly icier than the Senshi of Ice's frigid blues as he eyed Usagi, and how her friends all seemed to gravitate to her to not only protect her but would also do instantly as she said. They had been ready to fight him, he was sure. He had his phone in his hand inside his jean pocket, he had already dialed the guys but she simply said it's ok and they resigned themselves. He frowned, watching them from behind as they walked. The Sailor Senshi were supposedly incredibly powerful, magical. The capability of being deadly. He had been intrigued by Usagi in the park. She looked somehow familiar but he couldn't pinpoint it.

That. Had. Never. Happened. Before.

He was a trained assassin since he could remember. As a child he had learned how to not only repair, build and completely understand computers, he was trained to hack them from anywhere he pleased. He was trained to know what information was valuable and what wasn't by only clicking a few buttons. He could build an entire gundam from scratch and he could shoot any gun in existence and hit the mark dead on. Every, single, time. He was adapt to pain, and could fall several stories, not only break his bones on the fall without so much as a cry but then re-break the bone to reset the injury. He survived self-detonations, and he was trained to throw away all forms of humanity when the cost was great enough. When he was on a mission. When he had to take a life, he could kill without a single change in his expression.

But he wasn't like Dark. He may outwardly appear calm, cool, collected. He may kill, but he was human. He carried every single life he had taken in his heavy heart. He was a murderer... in the name of peace. It was a twisted life.

He gazed at Relena. After the attacks, he nor the pilots were called to guard. They did it of their own choice. Relena was their friend, and Relena promised peace... and that's all they wanted. Even him. Right now, she was their doctor, ordering their missions. She was their leader and that's why he knew.

He eyed Usagi again thoughtfully. Intrigued, and eyed the other girls one by one. They flanked her. Two on both sides. Like soldiers. They climbed down the steps. "Let's go, cars will be waiting for us down the road."

Luna and Artemis watched helplessly as the girls were escorted into two blacked out windowed cars that suddenly showed up, windows tinted out so that it was impossible to see the girls as they disappeared inside the vehicles with the Cinq Princess and her guard.

The storm clouds still hung in the sky, dissipating when it was only the cats and the storm left. This odd weather and the connection to Dark did not go unnoticed by the guardian felines, and they ran in the opposite direction of their charges.

…

"Tell me your joking." A masculine voice pleaded laughingly.

The girls were sitting in a single, windowless room with a couch and few chairs behind a long table. Across from where they sat and stood around the back of the room behind the separating lengthy table, a single wooden door with a thin slit through the door where their captors could watch them with only their eyes showing. Laughing violet blue eyes looked at them through the middle retractable window and they ignored it.

"This is hilarious. So what's the course of action?"

"Just open the damn door Maxwell."

"Uh dude, our cover?"

A quiet, withdrawn voice spoke up, the voice silky and slow as he talked in his deep quiet tone, a new unrecognized voice. "It does not matter, they have been viewed as possible hostiles since they've entered the Academy. Their disrespect for Princess Relena wasn't unnoticed and the Blond and the Priestess girls were spotted on the palace grounds. They knew what they were doing because we had only viewed the tapes this afternoon. They were quiet and they were undetected until now. They were trespassing, looking for something."

Rei and Minako shared worried glances, remembering when Luna and Artemis had asked them to snoop around and check things out. They hadn't realized they missed a camera, maybe even more of them… they were in deep trouble.

Makoto frowned, arms crossed behind her head and standing behind Rei, Usagi and Ami who were seated on the small couch by the chair Minako sat in. They knew about her not calling Relena princess. Why did they care anyway? Freedom of speech. They were Japanese. They didn't have to call her princess. She wasn't their princess.

"Yes, even if they are to be released, they won't be permitted to tell anyone and they'd have to be watched more closely now anyway, one of us always with them." A soft masculine voice cut in, his voice weary yet kind.

The door opened and the girls could only see Hiiro as he walked into the room, but soon Wufei, Duo and Quatre stepped into the room, followed by yet another attractive man.

He was by far the tallest, not as tall as Dark but he looked to be almost about six and a half foot tall. He was slim, and had the body of a swimmer, or perhaps an acrobat. He looked very elegant standing tall and all lean muscle, dressed in a simple pair of jeans and a black turtleneck that led to a strong defined tan face, with narrow deep forest green eyes, and light reddish brown hair that crossed and fell over one side of his face, long and straight in the front and short in the back. One of his eyes was obscured from sight by his long side swept bangs.

Minako pouted and gave an almost indignant noise. Cute again! Rei, Ami and Makoto all glared at her as if they could read her mind. She pouted briefly.

"How do you know the Sailor Senshi?" Hiiro asked, slamming his hands on the table in an intimidating fashion, glaring straight across at Usagi.

Usagi glared back, irritated at this guys nerve. He's caused her nothing but trouble since she'd met him. "You're so rude! Lots of people know the Sailor Senshi, they've saved many lives many times!"

Hiiro's glare never stuttered and his stance remained still and unmoved. "And yet "Dark" targeted you for your affiliation."

Rei's dark blue violet eyes glared and she pushed her long black tresses back to brush her hips while she sat in the chair next to the couch by Usagi. "This is pathetic. It's clear he was eavesdropping on a conversation you witnessed. Why are we here, what does it matter?"

Hiiro glared back at her. "You admitted to knowing the Sailor Senshi."

Rei scowled. "No, technically Odango here did but no one's ever taken her seriously, so you shouldn't either."

Usagi pouted. "Hey!"

Trowa's eyes landed on Rei's deep violet blues and he kept staring straight in her eyes, silent since she had first spoke. It began to unnerve her until he finally spoke. "There are threats of war breaking out, threats to the Cinq Kingdom could very well start a spark of war among the world and the colonies. You have been caught in places you know you shouldn't have been and you had a reason to have gone and that matters." He stood directly across from her, the long thin table their only separation. Rei scowled at how this MAN could possibly intimidate her. And she was, he was entirely too... aloof. It unnerved her and she didn't like it.

Trowa suddenly smirked cockily into her eyes. "The Sailor Senshi have many fans, and are a mystery and a cause for concern. School-girl-dressed skimpily-clad women-warriors with super powers, it's shameful and hilarious."

Every girl glared in his direction, while Duo chuckled and a snort came from Wufei.

"And yet, many are loyal, almost… no, radical followers almost worship these silly girls." His green eye narrowed with an almost intelligent gleam, a thought. He had always loved mythology. It was one of his favorite subjects to this day, and he always enjoyed a good book on such myths. After having studied the Sailor Senshi he came to a single conclusion. Childish. Disrespectful. A mockery of his favorite gods. They named themselves Sailors as if they had their own fleet of boats, each under the name of a roman god. They thought them selves gods. Powerful. Magical. He believed none of it. "Like gods, little girls in miniskirts compared to gods. What a mockery they've made of history and themselves." He ended his speech with a quirk of his lips.

Makoto uncrossed her arms from behind her head and cracked her knuckles and Rei had stood up, both looking like they could kill.

Rei's face was tilted upwards and level with Trowa's, she was almost an entire foot shorter than him and it only helped piss her off more. Just who the hell did he think he was? She refused to back down. Even though she was full out glaring and he was smirking, and they were face to lower face, only a few inches apart. I should kick his...

"The Sailor Senshi are no threat, they help people."

Everyone turned eyes to Usagi, her dark blue eyes that mirrored the night sky at dusk with stars shining in the blanket of space were looking almost as if to show them the will of her belief. Her hair spilled around her in golden tresses, over her shoulders, on her legs and pooling from the couch to the floor by her ankles. Like a golden halo that surrounded her with a warm inviting light. Her eyes were somber and she looked very serious, almost pleading even, as she spoke. "They don't think of themselves as gods. They want to help save people, and the people that they save only appreciate them."

"Their little fan club sent threats to the Cinq Palace declaring war if they disrupt the future of Japan," Hiiro spoke in a noncommittal tone. His eyes darkened, "a Crystal Kingdom."

Usagi and the others shared looks, they didn't think anyone but the senshi knew of the future… but apparently their were other people… just like the Dragon Clan and Dark. They had been worried about this and they were supposed to discuss it at the meeting Haruka was holding at their mansion on the outskirts of the Juuban district with the others.

Their shared looks were not lost on the five men.

"What do you know of this Crystal Kingdom?" Quatre asked them gently. His baby blue eyes were patient and inviting. He would be the good cop, if Trowa was going to be the bad cop. They needed information. If these girls knew who the Sailor Senshi were, they then were going to use these girls to find them. "This threat is very real, and all we want to do is find out a way to stop it."

Usagi stood up suddenly, eyes wide with fright and her arms slamming down onto the table, her deep blue eyes were shadowed and horrified, her gold hair flying behind her like streamers of silk. "You won't stop Crystal Tokyo!" Her shout was hoarse and her voice was filled with panic. She would not let Setsuna's worried words come true. They would not lose the possibility of a peaceful future.

"Crystal… Tokyo?" Hiiro murmured lowly to himself, his eyes darkened. "Is this Crystal Tokyo, a kingdom over all of Tokyo Japan?"

Ami looked up at him calmly, her eyes now lidded with a look of knowledge that dared them to try and get her to share, but wouldn't. It was surprisingly cocky for the soft spoken bookworm. "No." She looked at the others and smirked. "Crystal Tokyo will be the capital…" She eyed Minako pointedly as she let her sentence drip off.

Minako held her hands in front of her and smiled coyly before crossing her legs and resting her clasped hands over her bare, shapely crossed legs. "To the entire world, and the Milky Way Galaxy."

There was silence, until Duo broke into loud bellowing laughter. "You've got to be kidding me! It's some made up fantasy kingdom, a roleplay gone insane!"

Usagi still remained with her hands on the table, her eyes downcast and troubled as they stared glued to a central pinpoint of no real importance, her mind miles and miles away dragged down with worry and burden. She had to protect the future. But how? She was supposed to make Crystal Tokyo happen but WHEN and HOW? Was it now? Was the great tragedy going to be a war between her most beloved friends, her sisters and the very people she swore no matter what, as a Sailor Senshi, she would always protect? Something wasn't right. She was sure, positive with all her heart she could never war with the people of the planet she loved so much.

Then what was she supposed to do? If she did nothing... Crystal Tokyo... Peace... Chibiusa... pain struck her heart and her eyes watered. It'd been almost a year since she'd seen the little girl she'd give birth to one day... Setsuna's words comforted her but the fear she might never be was scarier than the thought of Crystal Tokyo not coming to be... but it was Chibiusa's home. She had to protect her child's home. How?

Rei frowned at Usagi's image, her dark indigo eyes sad. This shouldn't be happening…

"Sailor Moon."

Usagi's head snapped up and everyone turned to look at Hiiro as he stood straight across from the blond bunny, arms crossed and leaning back against the closed door of the prison like room almost casually. His eyes were glued right to her and he had uttered the words as he addressed her.

"Are you serious?" Duo asked shocked, looking at Usagi questionably.

"I know who you are... and from here on out, you'll be here. Crystal Tokyo will never come to exist."

"MARS Crystal Power! Make-up!" Rei wasted not even a thought to it as she shouted the phrase in rage suddenly her hand was holding a thin wand with a glowing red crystal atop it, and all the men in the room were stunned to realize they could not move, it's as if the flow of time stopped and yet their mind was unbound from the frozen spell around them, making them unable to move or look away but to bare witness to what was happening right in front of them.

If Hiiro's body weren't paralyzed, he'd have scowled at himself. He remembered how Usagi had played leader back with Dark, and how she had put a calming hand on the Miko and the blond during their little talk with Dark. Now that he thought about it, all the girls had a hand hidden away somewhere, much like himself with his gun. He cursed himself for not realizing this, and eyed the broach on Usagi's chest, her head was still hanging low, her gaze still lost to the table and her cupid heart shaped face was hidden by the downward tilt of her head and masses of golden spun hair.

"VENUS Crystal Power!"

"JUPITER Crystal Power!"

"MERCURY Crystal Power!"

"MAKE-UP!"

They watched as the girls were bathed in a show of light, the space around them warped and glowing in a plethora of colors. The girls skin and clothes were replaced by glowing colors on their naked, yet silhouetted bodies.

Red fire licked at Rei's glowing ruby colored silhouette, the fire wrapping around her body and a red fuku of the Sailor Senshi adorned her skin, a glowing insignia of Mars atop her forehead in red.

Her hair fell to her hips in luxurious thick black strands, shimmering a deep purple in the light, her pale skin only extenuated by her dark tresses and her dark indigo eyes were a much more vibrant confusion of blues and purples against all the reds and navy's of her senshi fuku.

She too wore the Eternal Fuku they had researched when they had last come in contact with the elusive and paranormal Sailor Senshi.

Ami shared a similar experience, her body a naked silhouette of a watery blue, bubbles suddenly appearing to engulf her body until they dispersed into sparkling water droplets in the form of her eternal fuku, but with hues of a watery blue and a lighter icy color tones, her symbol Mercury.

Her shiny dark blue hair seemed almost lighter, looking almost like water flowing smoothly, when suddenly a see through visor appeared over her arctic blue eyes.

Minako was bathed in golds, with stars forming at her hands will like a whip before simply encircling around her curvy frame and her feet into spiral ribbons of yellow gold stars. She turned into Eternal Sailor Venus.

Makoto was bathed in emerald tones, electric blue green lightening struck all around her forming a sphere of electricity as she became Eternal Sailor Jupiter.

The senshi fell out of their transformation with such ease and grace to form a tight circle around the still prone form of Usagi so quickly that the Pilots barely had time to blink and fall from their frozen positions where their transformation had previously kept them captive. "Crystal Tokyo will exist, with or without your consent." Rei snarled.

Usagi remained frozen, as her friends glowed with their individual powers.

Hiiro took out his gun and shot a tranquilizer dark at them but it fell through them as they suddenly vanished from the air as if they had never even been there.

"Damn, you were right, they were in miniskirts." Duo said dumbfounded, staring at the empty space the girls once occupied.

End Chapter

REFERENCES!

Serenity killed herself with the stone sword in the manga, a picture of it had been with the slain Minako before Serenity stabbed herself in the heart with the blade. In the manga Beryl dies and Endymion is like whoa super evil compared to his anime counterpart evil self lmao and anyway, Sailor Moon stabs him with the stone blade, wishing she could save him, but intending to die with him and find him again if she has too, and then stabs herself with the blade before the ginzuishou starts growing and encloses itself entirely over Endymion and Sailor Moon before the phantom god Metallia swallows them hole and she attacks Mercury, Mars, Venus and Jupiter.

Sailor Venus in the manga is the leader of the Sailor Senshi and was the holder of the stone sword. The stone sword is used by all the inner senshi to protect the princess, given to them by the original Queen Serenity. They used it on Ami's mothers diamond ring after they got it from the moon. It shattered the diamond (Diamonds are an incredibly hard substance. It's used to cut not only glass, but before lasers , they were used to cut other diamonds and gems for jewelry and they can even cut stone..." Oh also Ami is filthy rich in the manga. Her mother is a famous doctor and they live in a super large super high rise fancy penthouse building and her father is abroad painting cause he's a famous painter. Always found it funny how both Michiru and Ami had bluish toned hair and eyes and both loved to swim and both had water supported elements and Michiru paints while Ami's dad is a famous painter... I LOVE IT! Plot bunnies.
