"Robyn wake up." Setsuna hovered over Robyn as she slept.
"No." Robyn continued her rest.
"I need to talk to you." Setsuna reiterated.
"No. Go home. I'm sleeping." Robyn sighed. Setsuna poured a glass of water on Robyn quickly waking her up.
"What the fuck Sets. Whatever the fuck you want to talk about can wait until I've properly rested." Robyn wiped off her face.
"Which looking at those rings under your eyes means I'll be waiting a long time." Setsuna winked.
"Not tired, just drained." Robyn noted.
"I'm sure the constant drinking doesn't help." She threw out a bunch of bottles that lined the dresser.
"It does actually. It's a great painkiller." Robyn smirked.
"And the drugs?" Setsuna shuffled some piles of tiny bags.
"Also great painkillers." Robyn nodded.
"It's hard to believe someone like you is the illustrious Sailor Sun but I guess with everything that has happened I'd be a despondent drug addict as well." Setsuna patted Robyn's arm.
"You don't even know." Robyn sulked.
"Here's the situation, the man who is after you is the one trying to capture and steal the Sailor Senshi's powers." Setsuna explained.
"So I've heard." Robyn said as she pressed her head.
"I worry that he will succeed. We don't have you to help us. We need to find a temporary fix to your missing powers." Setsuna thought.
"They're not missing. They're gone. I saw her destroy the fucking thing. It's a lost cause. I'm floating through time until I die." Robyn noted.
"You lost a lot of your abilities yeah, but I know your inner strength Robyn. You will be a huge asset to us." Setsuna opined.
"And how are we going to do that without blowing my cover? Haruka and Michiru will not be so supportive once they find out who I am or that all of this is happening because of me. It's the Robyn effect. Everyone who knows someone who knows me gets fucked over." Robyn sipped a beer.
"I hope your cynicism disappears when all is said and done." Setsuna mumbled.
"You mean when the war has been won? Yeah I hope so too." Robyn shrugged.
"In the meantime we'll have to get creative. Let's put you in a Sailor V type of getup. I think they sell Sailor Senshi outfits. We can modify it a bit." Setsuna pondered.
"What will I be called? I can't be Sailor Sun. They think I'm dead or close to dead and trapped in a timeless abyss." Robyn commented.
"Sailor Disaster?" Setsuna joked.
"Sailor X. I like Sailor X." Robyn said.
"Kind of bland. I expect flamboyancy from the representative for the Sun." Setsuna noted.
"Details are minor for now." Robyn sighed.

Michiru tossed and turned as she slept. Normally with Haruka's grip she felt safe. She found herself walking an outdoor bazaar in the rain. It all was so grainy and dark. She could barely see. In the distance she saw three women on the ground lifeless. Everything felt so wrong. Two identical women fought in the distance. Michiru focused on the lifeless bodies. She bent down and moved the hair of one of them that strangely looked like her.
"Oh my goodness." She gasped; it was her. There was Haruka and Setsuna. They were all dead.
"Then that means…Robyn!" Michiru jumped up and headed for the two women fighting.
"Damn it Nancielle you're not going to succeed so long as I'm alive!" Robyn screamed. She was clearly in an inordinate amount of pain.
"I'm claiming what is rightfully mine!" Nancielle yelled. Who was this woman? Why does she look like Robyn?
"No it's not. Chronos gave me my powers. You're an evil bitch. You deserve everything I'm going to give you." Robyn shouted as the two wrestled. They were obviously very weakened. Michiru screamed and shouted and tried to pry each of them off of one another but to no avail. She was a ghost. Eventually Robyn returned to her plain clothes, as did Nancielle.
"Hey Robyn, missing something?" Nancielle taunted her with her Transformation Pen.
"You wouldn't dare." Robyn sneered. Nancielle dropped it to the ground and crushed it. Michiru could see the pain on Robyn's face as the tiny Sun bounced to her feet. She reacted in horror when Nancielle slashed her and threw her into a portal.
"Robyn!" Michiru screamed as she awoke covered in sweat. What had she seen? Was it a vision of what's to come? Is Robyn safe? Nothing made sense. Was Robyn already dead? She couldn't sleep anymore that night.
##
There was a gentle, delicate knock at Robyn's door. Setsuna had only recently departed and the suite was still lined with alcoholic beverages.
"Hi." Michiru waved. Robyn loved the sound of her sweet voice.
"Hey. What's up?" Robyn motioned for her to come in. Robyn wondered what was in the bag.
"Setsuna told me you were here. I wanted to surprise you with some delicious food." Michiru began taking apart her pack.
"Food is definitely the easiest way into my heart. Also, in to my pants." Robyn joked.
"I wasn't sure, last night you seemed a bit adverse to my advances." Michiru commented.
"Bad break up, remember? Everyone I have feelings for ends up either trying to kill me or betray me." Robyn frowned. Michiru wrapped her slender arms around her. Robyn could feel the love Michiru had to give her.
"It's okay, I understand. We'll take it slow." Michiru kissed her.
"We can speed things up a bit." Robyn smiled.
"You're so silly. Come, let's eat." Michiru offered. The two shared a meal filled with lots of smiling conversation and flirtation but Michiru's communicator brought everything to a halt.
"If it's important then take the call." Robyn said knowing that Uranus and Pluto were summoning her.
"I've got to run. I'll be back later. There's a meeting at the bar, I'm sorry I forgot I-" Robyn placed her finger on Michiru's lips and motioned her to go. The aqua haired beauty made a beeline for the door while she stealthily followed her.
##
The military's soldiers cornered Uranus and Pluto as they tried to free their cohorts.
"We want Sailor Sun." An officer demanded.
"Never heard of her." Uranus barked.
"Bring us Sun and the others are free." Another officer shouted.
"There is no such Sailor Senshi!" Uranus replied. Pluto stayed silent. Sailor Neptune joined her partners.
"Is that Sun?" An officer asked.
"Just Neptune." Another said.
"Who do they want?" Neptune asked with a puzzled expression.
"They keep demanding we turn over Sailor Sun but there is no one by that name!" Uranus explained.
"We know you're harboring her!" A man yelled.
"We don't know her, jeez." Uranus rolled her eyes. The soldiers were grating on her.
"Did you hear that?" Pluto interjected. Everyone turned to the trees. A feminine figure stepped out of the shadows.
"I am Sailor Sun, descendant of the Goddess of Light and Fire! I don't know these people so stop harassing them. I'm here, give up the others." Robyn did her best to remain calm. She had some powers but lacked a weapon and anything remotely useful. Setsuna was not amused.
"Who the fuck are you?" Uranus asked.
"I'm Sailor Sun, are you deaf? Did you miss my introduction?" Robyn sighed. Her fire inspired wig itched and she couldn't see through the sunglasses.
"About time you surfaced." A woman hissed from the background.
"I don't know who you are but I'm going to kick your ass. Let everyone go, this is our battle." Robyn ordered.
"Yes, please turn over the Senshi as promised." Neptune wished.
"Nah, we stripped them of their powers so we could have some fun. They will pay for your sins Sailor Sun. You should've handed over your powers like a nice girl. Instead you hid from us. We checked your 'stasis' and you were gone. You lied to me Pluto. For that you will pay." The woman noted.
"I can't be in stasis if I'm standing in front of you now can I?" Robyn hid her fear. What happened to this world's Robyn?
"Maybe there are two of you." The woman concluded.
"How preposterous. Two Sailor Senshi for the same…" Robyn paused. The Sun is not a planet, "You know. Things."
"I'm tired of talking, can we just kill them now?" A man asked. Robyn could've sworn she recognized the voice.
"Fine, go get them guys." The woman waved the soldiers on and exited the room. Robyn did her best at compensating for her lack of powers. She remained a skilled martial artist and easily took out a chunk of soldiers as the others did the same.
"Who are you?" Neptune inquired as the two fought side by side.
"A ghost." Robyn replied. They hit they deck as the man pulled out their energy weapons and began shooting at them.
"We're sitting ducks while we attack them." Uranus commented.
"I've got an idea." Robyn kicked a gun into the air and destroyed the lights. As the sparks from the lighting fell to the ground the three launched their attacks taking everyone down at last.
"Thanks Sun." Pluto said.
"You know her?" Neptune asked in a shocked expression.
"She's my partner." Pluto replied. Uranus and Neptune looked at each other. Uranus never remembered a mention of Sun.
"You've never mentioned her before." Uranus had a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"You are not privy to such information." Robyn covered Setsuna's mouth before she could answer.
"We're all Sailor Senshi, there's no need for secrets." Neptune diplomatically replied.
"Hah! That's rich." Robyn laughed as she melted through the steel doors.
"Hey, what's with the attitude?" Uranus grabbed Robyn's shoulder. Big mistake. Robyn quickly turned around and wrapped Haruka's arm painfully behind her back before releasing her and pushing her into the arms of Pluto and Neptune.
"I'm here to find something that someone took from me. Stay out of my way." Robyn hissed as she jumped into the shadows.
"Sets, what the fuck?" Haruka asked.
"No one's supposed to know she exists." Pluto reflected.
"But we lost two Sailor Senshi because of her!" Neptune shouted.
"I'm sorry. It's over my head." Pluto sighed.
##
"That was an incredibly stupid stunt you pulled." Setsuna lamented with her arms crossed. Robyn lie in a bath full of ice to ease her aches.
"I'm sorry, which one of us moved a certain someone from their resting place?" Robyn retorted.
"I put you back. They were going to kill you." Setsuna sat down on the side of the bath.
"I need to find the portal and I need to find that bitch who ruined my powers. Sailor Cosmos…more like Sailor Bitch…mos…" Robyn was too tired to come up with a proper insult.
"Lene did that to you?" Setsuna perked up.
"Lene? No, her name is Nancielle. My twin." Robyn looked at the confused Setsuna.
"Sailor Cosmos real name is Lene. You don't have a twin…. wait a second, I remember now. You do have a twin, the one with the black heart. She took your powers? She must've taken Lene's as well." Setsuna thought.
"That makes perfect sense." Her head was bothering her now. She had even more reason to kick that woman's ass.
"Lay low. You have no powers. How are you supposed to fight?" Setsuna asked.
"I'm not devoid of power, I can still heat stuff. I'm going to have to rely on my training until I can get everything figured out. Maybe I'll have to fight without any sort of assistance. I don't know." Robyn immediately stopped as she heard the door open.
"Michiru is here? Robyn!" Setsuna aggressively whispered.
"I can't change who I am! You better get out of here, I'm sure your girlfriend is pissed at you right now." Robyn motioned Setsuna to leave via the fire escape.
"I hate you! These are designer heels!" Setsuna whined as she exited. Robyn turned around to greet the beauty.
"Is everything alright? You look guilty." Michiru cocked her head.
"I was thinking about you, you caught me." Robyn greeted her with a kiss. Michiru weighed nothing but even her light arms wrapped around her body caused her entire self to collapse.
"Are you alright?" Michiru asked as she lied on top of Robyn.
"I'm clumsy." Robyn recovered. She noticed her costume poking out from underneath the bed and quickly pushed it back. Crisis averted.
##
Michiru snuck out of Robyn's room while she slept to meet the others on a nearby rooftop.
"What's this Sailor Sun up to?" Uranus wondered.
"She came here to find a person, who is not here. So she needs to find a way out of this world." Pluto explained.
"Why does everyone know her then?" Neptune asked.
"She has a history with them. I'm honestly unsure of what's going on. She's given me very little information. She's lost something important to her, she's searching for a way to find it." Pluto nodded.
"She doesn't sit right with me. I can't read her. It's like she's wearing some sort of disguise. I wonder who she really is." Setsuna couldn't help but laugh at Robyn's shoddily constructed Sailor Sun outfit. She bought a Sailor V costume from the store and added some brightness to it. The wig was also a marginal idea.
"It's a bad costume, I'm sorry but I thought I'd have more time to prepare. It's tough following you guys." Robyn interjected.
"What are you doing here?" Neptune asked.
"You guys woke me up and I'm here to clear up a few things. I'm not your enemy, but I'm not a friend. I need to find a time portal. If I don't get to my correct timeline you're all going to die. We're wasting time." Robyn opined.
"How do you know?" Uranus poked her aggressively.
"I've been to the future. Majesto wipes out most of the world's populace and you can bet that includes the Sailor Senshi." Robyn said.
"She's telling the truth." Neptune sighed.
"Alright, we'll help you but on one condition." Uranus paused.
"Name it." Robyn couldn't help but agree.
"You have to tell us everything. I mean everything, so we can defeat Majesto." Uranus demanded.
"When I get home and defeat him on the correct timeline this will all return to normal. I promise it." Robyn declared.
"That's not what I asked." Uranus quipped.
"She wants you to reveal your identity." Neptune said. Robyn looked at Pluto who nodded.
"Well, I already know you guys. Haruka is a hard woman to please isn't she Michiru and Setsuna?" Robyn winked.
"But I have a girl who is interested in me…oh what's the use." Robyn pulled off the shades and wig. The two couldn't believe themselves.
"Sorry Michiru." Robyn hung her head. She was greeted by a slap.
"I really felt something for you." Michiru cried. Haruka held her close as she and Setsuna also slapped her.
"This isn't slap Robyn hour! Okay! I've been shit on enough by the fucking universe. My girlfriend was murdered a dozen times before I found out she was cheating on me with my close friend. Then, this is great; I get thrown into a dark abyss where I'm told that I'm doomed to wander the universe forever without getting home. You know, while all of this is happening Majesto is loose in my world plotting to destroy everything! Then! I meet up with my long lost sister who turned out to be a psychotic bitch and she tried to kill me but instead she took away my ability to turn into Sailor Sun. She stabbed me and threw me into another dark abyss after murdering my friends and this nice woman informs me that I'm going to die a slow and painful death randomly as I pass through time! I meet you guys and I genuinely feel something. I'm sorry Michiru. I have a lot of fucking things to deal with but I want to protect you guys from all of this. I have feelings for you too and I wanted to enjoy it while I could. I am very upset right now. I'm also in a lot of pain, with not having any actual powers. Those attacks hurt. Sorry. I just need to find the portal." Robyn took a deep breath following her rant. The three stood wide-eyed at her rambling.
"I'm sorry for being an ass. You're right, you are fucked." Uranus blinked, "You knew about this?" She asked Pluto.
"The real Robyn, the one that's supposed to be in our timeline, was injured a long time ago. She's in seclusion while she heals. You would've never met her." Pluto noted. Robyn sat in the corner.
"I'm sorry Robyn. I didn't realize it was so bad." Neptune crouched down.
"Please don't hit me again." Robyn didn't look up. Michiru planted a deep, passionate kiss on her lips.
"I know where the portal is. I'll show you where it is." Michiru pulled her up.
"You don't hate me?" Robyn asked.
"It won't work between us. You have to get back to your time. Your heart belongs to someone else doesn't it?" Michiru held Robyn.
"Yes." She replied.
"Go to her." Michiru kissed her again.
"I enjoyed this." Robyn smiled.
"I did too. If you ever do come back, we can talk about restarting things." She held Robyn's head closely.
