Disclaimers: This is a crossover between Sailor Moon and Uta no Prince-sama. I do not own these two shows. Sailor Moon is written by Naoko Takeuchi in manga form and aired as a series by Toei Animation and TV Asahi in Japan and by Kodansha Comics in North America. Uta no Prince-sama is created by Broccoli as a Japanese visual novel game franchise and aired as an Anime series by A-1 Pictures.

"Hime," said Setsuna, "You should still rest."

"I-I'm fine," said Usagi as she was shaking where she stood up.

"You are not fine," said Taiki, "You have expended mounts of energy just to heal us from the Jakoku Suishō."

It didn't take long for Usagi to awaken from her unconscious state. STARISH were surprised that she could push herself up in a sitting position, even if her arms were shaking. Hotaru and Seiya jumped to support her as she sat up, making sure that she was fine. With worried eyes, they told Usagi what had happened. Usagi, on her part, nodded her head as she stared at the ground. She knew that she wasn't strong enough to defeat Jadeite and Rubeus, but she just had to save Cecil's parents and the kingdom of Agnapolis. She didn't want the beautiful city to fall to ruins like with the Silver Millennium and her friends who gave up their lives for her. With resolve in her eyes, Usagi started to push herself up and started to stand. Everyone could see that her legs were shaking by that effort alone. "How about this, Odango," said Seiya before suggesting, "Why not some of us go towards the palace while you recuperate? That way, we have a back-up team."

"That's a great idea," said Ren.

"Who are you and what have you done with Seiya," mocked Yaten.

"Hey," said an offended Seiya, "I resent that! I have good ideas!"

"Yeah right," said Yaten, "Remember the time that you wanted to scare the Inners and Usagi at the beach?"

"It worked, didn't it," said Seiya.

"It worked because that was a real PHAGE that chased the Inners and Usagi," said Taiki, "Not you."

Seiya pouted at that reminder. Yaten also reminded Seiya about the time that he got up on stage even though he was hurt by another Phage the other day and was still recuperating. Both Seiya and Usagi winced at that because they remembered what happened. Seeing the solemn and guilty looks, Yaten stopped naming all the times Seiya's ideas weren't that great. Hotaru smiled gently at Usagi and told Usagi to rest as much as she could before turning to the others, not letting Usagi put in her two cents if they would do Seiya's plan. "Alright," said Hotaru, "Let's see who goes and who stays with Usagi."

"I believe Cecil should be the group that goes to the palace," said Masato, "Since it IS his home."

"Fantastic," said Cecil, "I hope that after all of this, I can show all of you the beauty of Agnapolis."

"I'll stay with Usagi," said Otoya, "I still feel the effects of that crystal and need more time to recuperate as well."

"That is fine," said Setsuna, "I suggest that Hotaru goes with Cecil. Her Silence Wall can come in handy."

"Then, I should stay here," said Masato, "I could use the Hyperspatial Sphere Generate attack that can help produce a barrier. We can use it just in case we get attacked out here."

One by one, they all decided on who should stay with Usagi and who should go with Cecil. It was decided that Hotaru, Ren, Taiki, Seiya, Natsuki, and Tokiya would go with Cecil into the palace while the others stayed out here with Usagi. Hotaru pouted because she really wanted to stay with Usagi and protect her, but she knew that Setsuna had a reason for her to go with Cecil. She was an experienced Senshi and the more experienced, probably the better. "You better keep Usagi-hime safe," said Hotaru with a piercing glare.

"Of course," said a serious Shō.

"Usagi," said Taiki, "Take care and don't rush in just yet."

Usagi nodded her head as she saw her part of her friends leaving the group. She really wanted to go with them and stay together, but she knew it was futile. She used too much energy from the Maboroshi No Ginzuishō to heal STARISH. Setsuna and Otoya placed a comforting hand on one of Usagi's shoulders as they saw Usagi was looking very nervous in splitting up. "Don't worry," said Setsuna, "Regaining your strength and restoring your health is also important, hime."

"I know," said Usagi as she finally sat back down and sighed, "But, I'm still worried. What if Rubeus and Jadeite uses Jakoku Suishō again?"

"That is why I suggested Hotaru to go," said Setsuna, "She has stronger powers to protect all of them as they fight Jadeite and Rubeus."

- With Cecil's Team –

"I hope kāchan and chichi are alright," said a worried Cecil.

"Do not worry," said Tokiya, "We'll save your parents and Agnapolis."

"Just have hope in Sailor Moon," said Hotaru.

Cecil, Tokiya, Natsuki, and Ren looked at Hotaru with weird looks. What did having hope in Sailor Moon have anything to do with saving Cecil's parents and kingdom? Seiya and Taiki smirked as they remembered how Hotaru said the same thing, except to believe in Sailor Moon… in Usagi. They almost burst into laughter when they saw the confused and weird looks Hotaru was getting from four members of STARISH. Yet, it was understandable because STARISH never had to tangle with ultimate battles. They were just normal guys that were vying for Nanami Haruka's affections and inadvertently created STARISH. Now, however, they are Senshi and going into a battle that may injure them… that may kill them. "What do you mean by that," asked Natsuki.

"Do you like Sailor Moon," asked Hotaru who answered Natsuki's question with her own.

"Yes, I do," said Natsuki immediately.

"Yes," said Ren, "Little rabbit has been a delight to know."

"Un," nodded Tokiya and Cecil.

"Good," said Hotaru, "We seem to have the same hope."

"Uh…," said the four members of STARISH.

"Please believe in our Princess," said Hotaru with finality.

Seiya and Taiki looked at each other as they heard the same words that Hotaru said to them before Setsuna and she ran off to help Uranus and Neptune…īe… Haruka and Michiru. Both could remember what happened once the little girl, Chibi Chibi, woke up and asked them about not having anything to protect. They could still remember what the Inners and the two Outers have said to them…

"Don't have anything to protect," asked Chibi Chibi curiously, "Don't have?"

"To save important people," said Mercury.

"Both Sailor Moon and Starlights are important to us," said Venus.

"Please, in our place," said Jupiter imploring to the Starlights, "Protect Usagi and this world."

"Usagi is too sweet," said Mars before looking at Usagi, "Be strong, Usagi."

"What are you trying to protect isn't space, peace, and the future, is it," questioned Uranus.

"From now on, you want to protect her," said Neptune.

Clenching their hands into fists as they ran next to Hotaru and the members of STARISH, Seiya and Taiki glared on ahead. They couldn't help Usagi save her protectors, her friends, at the end, but this would be their second chance. They will help protect her in the stead of the Inners and the two Outers. They will help save all of Agnapolis against the darkness. With that resolve in mind, Seiya and Taiki sped up, almost leaving the others behind. Hotaru smiled gently to herself as she started to speed up as well, almost leaving STARISH behind. STARISH didn't know what to make of what the three seasoned Senshi were emitting, but the four also sped up to Cecil's home. 'Hold on, kāchan, chichi,' thought Cecil, 'Just a little longer.'

- Back At The Clearing –

"Otoya," said Usagi, "I-I couldn't help but see your fear. looks at Masato and Shō All of your fears."

Otoya, Masato, and Shō winced as they heard Usagi's declaration. They really didn't like their fear that was surrounding them by the Jakoku Suishō. All three of the remaining STARISH members looked at the other before turning away from each other. Yaten sighed as Usagi started a conversation about their fears before looking up at the night sky. He really wanted to be with his fellow Starlights, but he knew that he had a new oath and a promise to keep. Looking at the solemn Usagi, he was surprised that Usagi started to talk once more. "The Jakoku Suishō is a terrible thing, isn't it," asked Usagi before revealing, "My fear… my darkness… was the o-other Senshi surrounding me and putting blame on me for killing t-them."

"Hime," started Setsuna before Usagi cut in again.

"The sad thing was that M-Mamo-chan and C-Chibi-Usa weren't in it," said Usagi, "Does that mean that they also blame me that they can't even look at me?"

"Chigau (Wrong)," said Yaten with fierceness in his voice, "We came to Earth and brought the terrible Senshi War to you all. If anyone is to blame for those deaths, it lays with us Starlights."

"Kakyū-hime came here to find the lost Light of Hope," pointed out Setsuna, "However, it is no one's fault. Chaos would have come to Earth in the distant future. Your arrival just sped up the process is all."

"I am also sure that Endymion-sama and Otome (Maiden) do not blame you, Serenity-hime," said Helios, "Just like all of the Senshi do not."

Otoya, Shō, and Masato looked at each other. Here, there were three seasonal Senshi and a Guardian who went through a lot. They also were talking about their fears like it would help ease it before a final battle. Thinking back, it looked like Usagi felt better once she unloaded all that emotional turmoil from her heart. The three members nodded their heads before turning to the others. They will discuss their fears with the other Senshi, but it was for naught as Helios stood up. The three looked in awe as Helios transformed back into his Pegasus form. "I must head back to Elysion," said Helios.

"Please say hello to the Amazon Trio for me," said Usagi softly.

"It will be my pleasure, Serenity-hime," said Helios before turning to Otoya, "However, before I leave, I shall entrust you, Otoya, with the Golden Crystal."

"M-Me," stuttered Otoya.

"Hai," said Helios, "It is only right to hand over the heirloom, Otoya-ōji. However, please use it wisely."

"And how do I… uh…," started Otoya with a tint of red on his cheeks at being called ōji.

"Use it," asked Helios in amusement.

"H-Hai," said Otoya in embarrassment.

"You will know," said Helios.

With that, Helios leapt into the sky and used his mighty wings to fly. Everyone could see a golden and silver portal open up before Helios flew into it, the portal closing after he disappeared into it. Usagi sighed before pulling her shoulders back. She would not think about whatever the Jakoku Suishō had shown her. That would be for a later time, for her friend needed her help in freeing his kingdom. Usagi turned to the others with a determined face, shocking the three STARISH members and making the seasoned Senshi smile. "Let's go," said Usagi, "The others will need all the help that they can get."

"Is your energy restored already," asked Masato.

"Hai," lied Usagi.

"Then, we shall go," said Setsuna, "If we hurry, we can meet up with the others before they go into the palace."

Everyone nodded their heads. However, Otoya still looked a bit worried because Usagi still looked a bit pale, which was not to his liking. Otoya made a resolve there to watch out for Usagi while they ran as quickly as they could to the others. 'Don't worry, Usagi,' thought Otoya as he trailed after Usagi, 'You don't have to stay strong. I'm here to help you. We all are.'

- With The Others –

"Home," murmured Cecil.

"Do not fret, Cecil," whispered Natsuki, "We shall free your parents and Agnapolis."

It didn't take that long to get to the palace. Cecil, Natsuki, Ren, Tokiya, Hotaru, Seiya, and Taiki were in the shadows as they scoured the premises. They didn't want to alert Jadeite and Rubeus that most of them arrived. Looking from the shadows, they could see animal-like Youma roaming around. It also seemed as though those Youma couldn't talk, unlike the DōbutsuTrio. They were about to sneak pass the Youma when they felt another presence. Turning back, Hotaru was the first to see the other Senshi arriving, slowing down when they sensed the darkness of the animal-like Youma. "Hime," whispered Hotaru.

"Wah~," whispered Natsuki, "You guys got here fast!"

"Hime wished to help you faster," said Setsuna, "So, we MAY have ran as fast as we could to aid you all."

"You sure you are alright, Usagi," asked a worried Tokiya.

"I'm fine," said Usagi, "Anyways, what is the plan?"

The seven before them still looked worried about Usagi. Usagi looked pale still and was breathing a bit harshly. They, however, couldn't tell Usagi to stay down and rest. For one, if she DID rest, she would be exposing herself to the army of animal-like Youma. For another, Usagi was just very stubborn that always leads to her NOT listening to others until the enemy was gone. Usagi looked at all of them in determination as she waited for them to tell them of the plan. Sighing, Hotaru smiled gently at Usagi before whispering, "Well, we WERE going to sneak in, but a distraction would be much better."

"I believe that STARISH should stay out here while we Senshi battle Jadeite and Rubeus," suggested Taiki.

"Īe," whispered Cecil, "This is MY home. I would like to defend it from the darkness."

"Then, we should mix the groups up once more," whispered Masato.

It was then that a decision was made. Otoya, Usagi, Cecil, Hotaru, Yaten, Seiya, and Setsuna would be going into the palace while the rest of STARISH and Taiki would provide the distraction. The others hesitated but agreed. Otoya was chosen by Cecil to come along, which confused everyone but Usagi. If Usagi saw Cecil's fears correctly, then Otoya was really part of a royal family through the mother, making him Cecil's half-brother. She, however, couldn't say anything as Taiki signaled for the STARISH members to be ready. With Taiki's signal, the elements of fire, ice, lightning, wind, and two different energies were flung towards the unsuspecting Youma, letting the Senshi, Otoya, and Cecil run into the palace safely. "I still have to ask," said Seiya, "How did you come here so fast?"

"With strong will and a promise to protect and free Agnapolis until the very end," said Usagi.

"Oh," said Seiya despondently.

AN: Well, seven Senshi are now in the palace with the others fighting the Youma outside. Hopefully, nothing surprising will happen, ne? (*´∀｀）Anyways, happy reading and see ya next chapter! (＾▽＾)
