Sailor Storm: The Lost Element

Ch. 11: The Cold Reception

Kyle wanted to check out his new improvements on both of his Sailor Storm forms, but Zeus had told him that they should really be only used for something important before he left. Kyle started thinking about how his return home would turn out. Would he be against entire Police force wanting to arrest him as before, or would they actually welcome him back home? He was also having second thoughts about not telling the Sailor Senshi about his plans, but he knew that they had to stay here to protect their home while he had to go and save his own. It was virtually his fault that he left Jacksonville completely open to attack. It was his own mess, and it was his sole responsibility to clean it up. Kyle was just about to leave the school grounds when Kuno suddenly had shown up out from nowhere. He was carrying his bokken, which was no more than a wooden katana, in his hand as usual and had a look on his face like he was facing an insect. Kyle was going to go around him until Kuno pointed his bokken at him, immediately telling Kyle that he was not going anywhere without facing Kuno.

"You there, cretin. You are an ally of the foul sorcerer Saotome. It is within my duty to slay those who are in cohorts with the enemy," Kuno said.

"Kuno, I'm getting really tired of this. I defeated you before, and I sure as hell can do it again, maybe even with my left hand tied behind my back," Kyle said annoyed.

"Enough talk! Defend yourself!"

Kuno immediately charged in with his bokken leading the way. Kyle, seeking to end this quick, reached out and grabbed the back side of the bokken near the tip with his left hand while he slammed his right hand on the same side of the bokken while being close to the handle. The action had pole-vaulted Kuno into the air while Kyle grabbed the bokken with his left hand as it flipped around. Just before Kuno hit the ground, Kyle held the sword in both hands and struck Kuno six times with it at an impossible speed. His new speed still isn't very fast compared to his Time Manipulation, but it was enough to make his body movements blur to the naked eye. By the time Kuno hit the ground, his clothes were cleanly shredded in the six places Kyle had struck. Even though Kyle had never actually hit Kuno with the bokken, Kuno's body was developing bruises where Kyle had struck. Kuno was immediately out like a light. Kyle groaned from this entire event as he broke the bokken in four separate parts and threw them at Kuno as he walked off.

Ranma was training in the Tendo's backyard when his danger senses had peaked. He jumped out of the way of a bucket full of water falling right where he was standing before. The culprit was, without a doubt, Happosai trying to get at Ranma's girl form again. However, Ranma decided to channel Kyle for the moment and immediately counterattacked without warning. It didn't take long for Happosai to fall to the ground, unconscious and bruised all over. Ranma picked him up by the back of his sweat suit and held him up to his eye level.

"You know what, old man? I do actually admire your skill as a martial artist, even though you're a perverted, backstabbing leech of a man. I do hope that one day I can respect you as a man," Ranma said in an unusually calm voice. Then his expression darkened.

"But until that day, BEAT IT, YOU OLD FREAK," Ranma yelled as he kicked Happosai into Yokohama Harbor.

Ranma was just about to return to his training when Kyle had shown up. He was about to invite Kyle to a sparring session when Kyle had mentioned that his time was up and he now had to return home.

"Going home? You think you're ready for this," Ranma asked.

"I'm sure. This may be a little earlier than I thought, but the situation at home is getting out of hand faster than I thought. I have no other choice," Kyle said.

"I see. When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning. I've been told that arrangements have been made to make my return a little hastier. But right now, I have enough time to pack up my belongings and make my proper farewell to your family. Before you ask, I have already set up a private savings account at the local bank for you. Your money is in there and only you will have access to it. I've already taken the liberty to make sure that neither Nabiki nor Genma will be able to get in it."

"Thanks, but I don't know that much about how banks work."

"Don't worry. This is a major bank and the staff there already knows who you are. They'll help you to the best of their ability as soon as you walk in the door."

"Thanks, Kyle. Now how about that sparring match?"

A dark figure in a pitch black throne room at an unknown location was using her power to search for a certain item. Her servants were waiting patiently, yet nervously in front of her as they waited for their orders. After an almost indefinite time of waiting, the figure rose to her feet and called on one of her servants, a Sailor Iron Mouse. She was to go to the Nerima district of Tokyo and retrieve the space seed from a young chinese girl. Sailor Iron Mouse bowed down while replying "Yes, Mistress Galaxia" before disappearing into thin air. She immediately found herself on the roof of the Cat Café where the girl lived and worked. However, the girl's great grandmother was too much of a problem for Iron Mouse to attack her target. She had to wait until the girl had no defenses, even if it meant waiting until the next week.

Meanwhile in the Time Gates, Sailor Pluto had finally regained full control of the Gates during the time of Kyle's disappearance, allowing her to attempt to solve the mystery surrounding Kyle Rayden. After weeks of searching the timelines, she had finally found her answer. Kyle was indeed the reincarnation of both Sailor Storm and Thunderstorm. However, his life essence had been found during the Silver Millennium, which meant that he was originally born during that time. Unfortunately, Pluto was about to look up Kyle during the Silver Millennium when her power was blocked. All the Gates were now showing nothing but a giant crescent moon. Anything that had to do with Kyle's origins, including the empire he was born from, was blocked by her future self while under orders from Neo Queen Serenity. She tried to double her efforts to uncover Kyle's past when the Time Gates flashed a very bright light. The light stunned Pluto and caused her to fall to her knees. Just then, a voice could be heard coming from the light.

"Sailor Pluto, listen to my words. The time of the Great Ice is near and there is darkness on two sides of the planet. Your new enemy, Galaxia, can be stopped, but it will not end the fighting. Kyle Rayden has been destined to end the final battle, but Galaxia must be defeated first. Hinder my warning, Sailor Pluto. These are the most difficult times for the Sailor Senshi. There will be deaths, but rest assured that they will not be permanent. The age of the divided Earth is drawing to a close, for Tranquility has begun to awake. Find Tranquility and protect him at all costs, for he is now the key to awakening Crystal Tokyo. This shall be the Sailor Senshi's final task. Farewell."

Then the light had died and the Gates were back to monitoring present day Tokyo.

"What? Wait! I don't understand. Who is Tranquility? Why is he now responsible for Crystal Tokyo to exist? Please, I must know," Sailor Pluto pleaded.

To no avail, all of her pleas went unanswered. Now there was an even bigger mystery surrounding Kyle. It was beginning to get irritating, but the man name Tranquility that the voice mentioned had sounded very intriguing. Could this be the reason why there are now two Crystal Palaces after the Negamoon's defeat in the future? Apparently, Pluto was currently unable to answer these questions, but she nevertheless prepared for whatever lies ahead.

The Tendos had gone all out to wish Kyle the best of luck and to congratulate Ranma on his first successful attempt of being a martial arts sensei. Kasumi had simply outdone herself, and made sure that Akane couldn't accidentally ruin it with her destructive culinary skills. Ranma, Kyle, and Genma were all eating at a fast pace, but Nabiki decided to make it a little more fun. She wanted to see who could eat a rice bowl the fastest without cheating, and whoever lost was to do whatever Nabiki wanted them to do until it was time to sleep. The first round passed with Ranma and Kyle finishing in a tie with first, while Genma finished a somewhat close third. He was to now clean up after dinner, clean up and fix the house, clean up the dojo, and do it all as a panda. Genma slumped down and muttered a "Yes, ma'am" to accept his punishment. The final round was very close, but Ranma proved to have a bigger stomach than Kyle as he finished first. Kyle had a slight stomach cramp that only lasted a split second, but it was enough to slow him down. Now he was at Nabiki's mercy. Nabiki dragged him up to her room, and simply said that he was going to do a bit of a fashion show in his girl form. Kyle reluctantly accepted his role and transformed into Tera while using water to mask his change. Nabiki had her start modeling in her risque outfits complete with lingerie while she started taking pictures. To Nabiki's surprise, Tera was getting more and more into it, even when the outfits started to not include dresses. Nevertheless, both Nabiki and Tera had a great time. After Nabiki told her that she would send her the first copies once they were developed, Tera gave Nabiki her address in the States. After changing back, Kyle went to sleep in the guestroom as soon as he hit the pillow.

The next morning, Kyle woke up with Akane knocking on the door. Kyle found out that she had made some rice balls for his trip home. Kyle did quickly wonder if they were safe to eat as he thanked Akane for them. Once she noticed that she didn't move, he guessed that she wanted him to try one. He slowly but surely took a bite out of one them, and found out that they were a bit salty, but it was no more than a french fry. It was quick for him to get used to it as he ate the rest of the rice ball at a quicker pace.

"That was pretty good. A little salty, but it was great. Thanks, Akane," Kyle said.

"Thank you, Kairu," Akane said smiling.

Kyle quickly packed up the rest of the rice balls with his stuff as Akane left. After having everything packed up and ready to go, Kyle sat down at the table for a small breakfast before leaving. After eating, he thanked the entire family for their hospitality and wished them all a bright future. He talked to Ranma and Akane alone afterwards. He told them that he saw that two did care for each other whether they wish to admit it or not, and that they should not let their parents decide on how they live their lives. Ranma had to learn to think more before speaking, while Akane needed to learn harness her emotions, especially her anger. Insults were never going to work, so they were told to try to help the other person out calmly. There were always going to be bumps in the road, but they will always be able to work them out together. After Ranma and Akane nodded their agreement, Kyle smiled, bowed to them, and left the Tendo household with his stuff on his shoulder. When he cleared the gates, the entire family followed him to the outside of the gates to see him off. It was the first time that Ranma and Akane were holding hands and didn't feel self-conscious about it at all.

Kyle turned a corner as Zeus appeared out of the bushes with a plain smile on his face.

"That was beautiful, Kyle. I never expected to see how much you cared for their relationship," Zeus said as he jumped on top of Kyle's pack.

"Thanks, Zeus. I do hope everything does work out for them," Kyle said looking up at Zeus.

"I'm pretty sure it will, Kyle. I'm pretty sure it will."

Sailor Iron Mouse had been waiting on the roof of a building across the street from the restaurant. Her target was seeming to prove to be more trouble she's worth. Finally after the Cat Café opened, the girl was beginning to leave on her bicycle. Now was Iron Mouse's only chance, but as she was preparing to strike, Galaxia had contacted her. Iron Mouse was told that the target's space seed was not pure but tainted. Iron Mouse was about to protest when she was ordered to steal the space seed from a young girl in Juuban about two kilometers from the Nerima border. Galaxia happened to notice Iron Mouse's foul mood and was beginning to threaten her when Iron Mouse complied to her orders. With that said and done, Sailor Iron Mouse took off for Juuban, but not without getting noticed.

"What stupid dressed, crazy girl doing up on roof," Shampoo asked to herself.

Then Shampoo remembered her task and looked at a nearby clock.

"AIYAA! Shampoo going to be late for delivery," she said as she mounted her bike and took off holding a ramen carrier.

Iron Mouse took a little time before finding her target who was a teenage girl walking down the road with a starry look on her face. It was way too apparent that this girl was in love with a boy who probably just admitted his love to her. Iron Mouse saw that she was alone and there was no one around.

"Ahh, she's in love. How sweet. It makes me sick to my stomach," Iron Mouse thought before she jumped down in front of the girl.

The girl's happiest-day-of-her-life look was quickly shattered into one of fear. Iron Mouse began laughing in that squeaky voice of hers as she made her move. She quickly gained the space seed, but not without the girl screaming her lungs out. The girl was quickly silenced as she turned into a Sailor Phage named Sailor Neko. Iron Mouse was certain that the scream was pretty short, but someone could have still heard her. Nevertheless, the space seed she found turned out to be a blank. The seed dissipated into thin air when she heard distant footsteps sounding like thunder. A Sailor Senshi was approaching fast. Iron Mouse managed to teleport away before the Senshi arrived, leaving Sailor Neko to deal with her.

Meanwhile...

Kyle and Zeus were still walking towards the train station when the matter of how they were going to get home came up.

"What do you mean did I do what I did before? What are you talking about, Kyle," Zeus asked.

"I'm talking about whether or not you booked us flight back to the states last night. That's what I'm talking about," Kyle answered.

"Wait! You're telling me you didn't," Kyle asked after getting no reply from before.

"No, I didn't. Because I didn't need to, Kyle. Your parents have already sent a private jet here to pick us up. Apparently, the Jax Airport can run a high risk of casualties if a youma shows up there, so all flights to and from have been shut down. There's nothing else," Zeus said.

"Great."

Kyle and Zeus were no more than four kilometers away when they heard a scream. It was barely noticeable, but the dark vibes they were getting immediately after weren't false alarms. Kyle looked around as he ducked into an alley to check his Com-Scanner. So far, none of the Sailor Senshi were even near the area as they were on the other side of the district for some reason. He noticed that he was now picking up eight signals instead of just the five inners like before, but it didn't change the fact that he was closer and was obligated to do his duty. Kyle looked down at Zeus, who nodded to silently acknowledge what Kyle had to do. It would also be the perfect time to test out his new alternate form.

"Lightning Star Power!"

Kyle's transformation yell went unnoticed as usual when he began transforming into Sailor Storm in the alley. Five seconds worth of light and lightning sparks end with Sailor Storm standing where Kyle used to be wearing an entirely different setup. Storm was now wearing a white form-fitting sleeveless (with piping as before) jumper with black collar, a blue bow with her star crystal on the knot, a black tight miniskirt with the same length as the original skirt underneath her jumper, a black armored bodysuit with T-shirt-style collar underneath her jumper and skirt with a shorts-style bottom ending just above the skirt's length, and the black bow remaining unchanged while tied around the waist over her jumper with a black sash. Her white gloves gain a gold symbol of two crossed lightning bolts on top of each hand. She also has a small gold X-lightning symbol above her left breast, a large gold X-lightning symbol centered on back, a small symbol on the front of her choker, and on the outside top area of both black boots. The only things that remained unchanged were the tiara, her earrings, her weapons, and her hairstyle. Sailor Storm immediately loved the fact that she could barely feel anything through the armor, and she just loved the slightly more tactical look to her uniform when Zeus finally snapped her out of her reverie, reminding her that she had a responsibility that she needed to carry out now. Storm nodded and placed Zeus on her shoulder as she jumped to the nearest roof and started roof hopping to her target. She immediately noticed how much faster she was now, but she placed that in the back of her mind. Sailor Storm was now on the clock.

It was about a minute later when Sailor Storm was ten seconds away. Just before she reached the vicinity, she felt part of the dark presence disappear, leaving her with whatever was left. She decided to jump a little higher on her last jump to allow her to land on the street. Once she landed, she moved forward to attack , but immediately stopped on the first step as she noticed what her target was.

"What? A Sailor Senshi," Storm asked stunned.

"I am Sailor Neko. Your death will be a purrrr-fect victory for my mistress, Sailor Galaxia," Sailor Neko said.

"Storm, THAT IS NOT a Sailor Senshi. Get back NOW," Zeus screamed.

"Kitty Claw Comb Attack," Sailor Neko yelled as a wall of vertical destructive energy blades came out of her swiping hands. The blades were positioned to resemble the blades of a comb.

Sailor Storm wasted no time to dodge the attack by executing a back flip high enough to avoid getting hit. As soon as her foot hit the ground, she let loose a Lightning Storm directly on her enemy. Neko immediately shown pain, but still had enough energy to fight at her peak. Neko attacked with the same attack again forcing Storm in the air as before, but this time she jumped up to battle Storm head on. Storm immediately noticed how fast her opponent is as she was cut on her arms a few times while dodging. Storm managed to quickly counterattack by kicking Neko in the stomach. This caused Neko to fly back away five yards before hitting the ground. As Storm landed on the ground again, she noticed that the damage done to her was barely noticeable, but she would rather not risk the blades again.

"Lightning Storm!"

Storm's attack managed to have a little more bite to it as Neko was thrown to about fifteen yards away now. Storm was just making a grab for her sword when a voice rang out.

"Storm, STOP! Don't kill her," Zeus yelled from atop a lightpole.

"What is it, Zeus? What's wrong," Storm asked as she looked at him with concern.

"We can't kill her. That's actually a human being trapped as some sort of phage. We have to heal her."

"Heal her? Are you sure that's actually an innocent girl?"

"Yes, Storm. I'm sure."

"Well, I don't have any kind of attack that can turn her back into a human. Only Sailor Moon was able to do that. I don't have that kind of power."

"Nevertheless, we can't kill her- STORM, LOOK OUT!"

Storm managed to just barely use her Time Manipulation to dodge a sneak attack from Neko. She immediately retaliated by using her new skills and speed to attack Neko hand-to-hand and came out very successfully. Sailor Neko managed to finally back off and jump back to a position fifteen meters away.

"I have had enough. Prepare for my final attack!"

Sailor Neko's movements resembled her Kitty Claw Comb Attack, except she stopped in the middle to charge her energy. Storm didn't know how much time she had left as she started to think of ways of healing her. She was starting to get desperate when she heard a voice in the back of her head. The voice was an unintelligible whisper. Storm then closed her eyes and concentrated on hearing the voice again. Zeus started to yell at Storm as she was standing directly in the path of the attack, desperately wanting her to get out of the way. Despite this, Sailor Storm did not move. After ten more seconds, Neko began to laugh as her attack was now fully charged.

"HA HA HA! It's time for you to die now. Feel the wrath of my power," Neko yelled.

Finally, Storm heard the voice as clear as day.

"Demonic Isolation Exorcise," the voice said.

Storm immediately opened her eyes to see Neko starting her final movements for her attack when she grabbed her tiara. With it, she yelled "Demonic Isolation Exorcise" as she threw it at Sailor Neko. Neko immediately stopped moving as the glowing tiara heading straight at her caused her to become completely stunned. All she could was scream. The tiara slammed onto her forehead and began separating the evil influence from the victim. Sailor Neko's body started disintegrating into white lines traveling up above her head into an unidentifiable essence of evil at a moderate pace while leaving the girl's body behind. Zeus couldn't help but smile as this new attack was going to probably used very frequently from now on. As the last of the evil was removed, Storm's tiara flashed signaling the chance for the final attack. Storm took a second to get over the awe of her new attack before she drew her sword and slashed the evil essence one time, destroying it. Immediately, the girl fell to the ground as Storm's tiara reappeared on her head. She also found out that the girl was perfectly okay and unconscious after Storm checked on her. She originally was going to wait until the girl woke up, but her Com-Scanner popped up showing her that the Sailor Senshi were approaching her position. Storm spared one last look at the girl before she grabbed Zeus and started running through the alleys back to the place where she left her belongings behind. Soon after, all nine Sailor Senshi came up to the girl who started to wake up. Sailor Mercury wasn't able to detect any kind of evil presence anymore. Sailor Moon immediately suspected Sailor Storm as she had Mercury try to locate her, but with no success. Truth be told, there was no evidence of Sailor Storm, or any Sailor Senshi for that matter, actually being here in the first place. The only one who knew the truth was Sailor Pluto, who was smiling to herself.

"Great work, Sailor Storm. We couldn't have done it better ourselves. Good luck with your upcoming battle at home," Pluto thought as the others were checking on the girl.

Kyle managed to retrieve his belongings and boarded the train to the airport where his private plane was waiting. Kyle and Zeus pretty much kept quiet for the entire trip, but their moods and feelings needed no words to accompany them. Zeus was absolutely sure that Kyle was now, without a doubt, ready to go home just from looking at his eyes. It took them about an hour to reach the airport from their train stop and were immediately spotted by two American men in black suits. They approached Kyle and called him as "Mr. Rayden" to ensure that they were here to escort him to the plane. Kyle was amazed that they didn't say anything about his cat needing to be in a kennel. They walked directly through the security checkpoint and traveled through the airport's subway and terminal to finally reach the private aircraft parked at the very end of the terminal. Before they reached the stairs, Kyle stopped and looked out to the city. Again, he was becoming worried about the girls, but Zeus had assured him that they would be alright. With that, Kyle and Zeus walked outside down the stairs, and boarded the plane. As soon as they were situated, the plane powered up and taxied out to begin takeoff procedures.

Serena should have been in school right now, but Trista wanted her to take a day off. She hadn't received any letters from Darien ever since he left for the States. She remembered their last conversation very well.

Flashback...

"Serena, I know very well that there's something wrong with you. And I know it's not just about me leaving for college," Darien said.

"You're right. I'm worried about Kyle. How could he abandon us like this? He left without a word. I wish that he could have said something to us. I wish he never left. It's so sad that he has no friends," Serena said.

"I know, Meatball Head. I know. I remember you telling me how he never wanted to be more than just a teammate. Reminds me of the Outers, but at least he never tried to actually attack you. I know you wanted him to see us all as his friends, if not family, but we can't live his life."

"But it hurts me so much to see him like this. He must understand what it truly means to be one of the Sailor Senshi."

"You know, Serena. You ought to be calling yourselves the Sailor Senshi from now on. You and the girls have progressed so much compared to the Silver Millennium. Besides, it would help to identify Kyle as a Sailor Element, because that's exactly who he is. He may be an Element and you girls may be Senshi, but you are all Sailor Senshi no matter what.

"Thank you, Darien."

"Tell you what, Meatball Head. When I get to America, I promise that I will search for Kyle and let you know where he is. Once I do, I want you and the girls to fly over to where he is now and try to talk with him. He may decide to tell you and come back, and then again he might not. But you will be able to at least talk to him and show how much you care for him. You have the biggest heart I have ever seen, Serena. Don't ever let it go to waste."

Serena didn't bother replying as she leapt at Darien and giving him a fierce hug while silently crying. Finally, things between Darien and her are becoming concrete at last.

End Flashback

Serena couldn't help but feel alone again as now Darien was gone as well as Kyle. No matter what she did, she always felt worried about them. She did however get a funny feeling when she and the others ran into Tera that one day. It was almost like she felt the presence of her true mother, Queen Serenity, but it never did add up. Suddenly, Serena was knocked out of her train of thought as a certain aircraft started passing directly overhead. Serena felt that presence in her heart again as the private aircraft passed over her after taking off. As it was flying over, she never took her eyes off of it until she finally couldn't see it anymore. And again, she started crying.

Kyle felt a weird feeling as the plane had just lifted off. It was like a pressure gently, yet firmly, squeezing his heart. He clutched his chest as he looked out the window, but saw no disturbance in the city as the plane climbed higher and higher. As a result, he decided to ignore it, but his small action had already been observed by Zeus.

"The bond has started sooner than I expected. I hope Kyle's past will not catch up to him too fast. He must be able to learn and understand it at the same time. Otherwise, everything will fall apart," Zeus thought.

Kyle looked at Zeus as the cat was staring at him when one of the men from before had walked up.

"Mr. Rayden, your parents had arranged for us to bring you home at quickest possible pace. Therefore, it should only take us about four to five hours to reach Jacksonville," the man said.

"Four to five hours? It took me over twelve hours to get from the States to here. How can this plane make that long of a flight in only a third of the time," Kyle asked.

"This plane has been specially built for your father to make his business trips take up less time. This is a highly modified Dassault Falcon 200 with four advanced turbojet engines, allowing this aircraft to proceed at a maximum cruising speed of Mach 1.9. This entire aircraft has been stripped down and rebuilt from the ground up to allow the aircraft to handle the stress. Your parents insist on you being home as fast as possible."

During the middle of the man's description, the Falcon increased speed to Mach 1.9 as it reached near its maximum altitude.

"I see. I never knew my father had this thing."

"He did it so he could spend more time with his family."

Kyle never had a chance to say anything else as the man walked to the back of the cabin, leaving Kyle and Zeus alone for the next four hours.

"Artemis, are you sure you want to use the Time Gates," Sailor Pluto asked Artemis while they were standing in the Time Gates dimension.

"Yes. I need to only see something that I think happened back during the Silver Millennium. It's only a thought, but I want to be sure of it," Artemis replied.

"I see. As long as you are only looking and not interfering, I will help you."

"Thank you, but I'm going to need my privacy, I'm afraid."

"Why?"

"Trust me, Trista. You would figure it out yourself, but I need to figure this out myself too."

"Okay. Just use your Lunar Mind Meld onto the Gates to let me know when you are finished," Sailor Pluto said just before disappearing into reality.

As soon as she left, Artemis started working on the gates to show his meetings with Queen Serenity during the Silver Millennium. Hopefully, he will be able to find his answers there.

Kyle was taking a small nap when the co-pilot woke him up, telling him that he was needed in the cockpit. Kyle wiped his eyes clear before walking into it.

"What's the problem," Kyle asked.

"When we took off from Jax International Airport earlier today, we required special permission and clearance to even use the Airport," the Captain said.

"What are you talking about 'special permission'?"

"Three weeks after the monsters started attacking the city, the airport was shut down to all air traffic. No one was allowed to land or take off from the runways. No one was even allowed onto the premises for fear of a monster attacking when the airport is at 'rush hour'. It was also a martial law enforcement."

"Un-freaking-believable."

Just then, a voice from the aircraft's radio spoke up.

"This is the Florida Air National Guard. You are about to enter a restricted airspace. Please state your intended course and identify yourself," the voice said.

"This is Rayden Business 1 on approach to Jacksonville International Airport. We are requesting special clearance to land," the Captain replied.

"Rayden Business 1, special clearance request denied. You are hereby ordered to re-direct your flight to Atlanta International."

"We are under direct orders of the Rayden family to return their son home while landing at Jacksonville."

"We are under direct orders to arrest anyone and everyone who attempts to land at Jacksonville. This is your last chance to re-direct."

Kyle cut off the radio before the Captain could say anything else.

"Captain, did my parents tell you anything new about me recently before you flew to Tokyo," Kyle asked.

"Yes, Kyle. Your mother told us all who you really are. And I'm about to make a fast landing. Please return to your seat and buckle in," the Captain said.

The co-pilot happened to spot the large amount of Police cars and military trucks in the airport standing by. The plane was about 25 seconds from landing when the cars and trucks suddenly scrambled towards the terminal. The co-pilot flipped the radio back on to suddenly hear the report of a monster attacking the airport. Kyle instantly stiffened in his seat, barely managing to keep himself from transforming until the time was right. The plane landed on the runway nearest to the terminal and immediately applied full brakes. Kyle unbuckled from his seat and began his transformation into Neo Sailor Storm as the plane was guided off of the runway towards the terminal. When the plane's ground-speed reached 50 mph, Storm forced the door open enough for him to jump out with Zeus following behind.

"Just great. I'm not home for five minutes and someone already sent out the party-pooper," Storm said to himself.

Storm started running towards the site of the attack when he happened to take notice of the changes to his uniform. The only changes were a set of blue X-lightning symbols positioned in the same places as Sailor Storm's gold symbols, as well as the change in his headdress. The general thickness of the band remained the same, but it shrinks down to half size just before it reaches the jewel. The "shrinking" area was only a quarter of an inch long with slopes rated at 45 degree angles, while the half-sized area was one-half inches long. The jewel holder was reshaped into a perfect octagon when both it and the jewel grew to a percentage of 125 compared to its original size. The final touch was a black half-inch thick stripe running perfectly in the middle of the band lengthways. Finally, the neckerchief originally had two weighted flaps coming from beneath the knot. Now, the flaps appeared to have been sewn together all the way up to the knot to appear as only one flap for appearances only. Unlike before, Storm didn't bother to actually look at the details.

Neflyte knew that he was keeping Queen Beryl very pleased with the amount of energy he has been collect, and amazingly Zoicite is actually leaving him alone this time. Maybe he learned his lesson after Queen Beryl mortally wounded him for almost killing Prince Endymion. Whatever the case may be, Neflyte didn't know about it. All he knew now was that this was really starting to get boring for him. The humans are not putting up much of a fight, but he did see it as free energy which caused him to smirk. That was until he saw a certain lightning attack strike his youma while he was safe on his perch. His smirk immediately evolved into shock as he recognized the familiar, though evolved, uniform of a Sailor Senshi. The time that his Queen was waiting for has come. The impossibly un-defeatable Sailor Element has come home.

Storm immediately jumped into action as soon as he saw the youma. Using the skills he had just recently learned, he quickly managed to direct the youma into a more open space away from the civilian and military police. With the now bystanders witnessing this event, Storm stopped holding back his attacks. He attacked his opponent with an elaborate array of punches and kicks while simultaneously charging his limbs with lightning. Every time the youma tried to back away, Storm was immediately back on top of it again. Finally, Storm gave it one final kick that sent the youma flying for a distance of 60 feet. Before the youma had a chance to recover, Storm decided to finish it off.

"Demonic Isolation Exorcise!"

The magical attack worked well until the point of just simply hitting the youma and bouncing off.

"Heh heh. Woops," Storm said embarrassingly with an arm behind his head as his headdress returned.

"Now you die, you impudent brat," the youma yelled.

"Lightning Star Glave," Storm chanted at nearly the exact same time.

The youma had no choice but to avoid the attack. Nevertheless, the glave still hit its target, destroying a type of magical armor it was wearing. Unfortunate for the youma, it was never given a split-second chance after that as Storm suddenly appeared with his sword fully embedded in the youma's abdomen. Without wasting his momentum, Storm jumped very high into the air while appearing to slash the youma from its stomach to through the top of its head. A second later, it is made apparent that Storm sliced the youma five times instead of just once. Finally, he landed next to the youma just before it exploded.

"Of course, I'll die. But I'll die when I'm pushing 100 and a walker," Storm said to the dying youma.

Neflyte was downright furious, but immediately calmed down and remembered his orders. If Sailor Storm returned home, report it immediately to Queen Beryl. So without any further delays, he returned to the Negaverse. Sailor Storm turned towards the guards as the youma exploded into dust. It was time for him to set things straight once again. Hopefully, the police would be on his side for a change. Of course, only time will tell.

A/N: End of the crossover. From here on until Sailor Galaxia is defeated, the Sailor Senshi will no longer be mentioned. Like I said before, I don't anything about the Sailor Stars story arc. I couldn't believe my luck when I decided to use Tranquility as a person's name. The meaning of the word was exactly what I was looking for as I would have needed the name for the Silver Millennium. Anyway, Artemis will now remember his side of this mystery, while Sailor Pluto tries to solve it despite the restrictions against her in the Gates. I can honestly say that I don't know how long this story is going to take, but I'll try to make things run smoothly. I guess we'll see how this turns out. Later.
