SailorStar9: With Chapter 89 out, this is Chapter 90 of this fic. Remember boys and girls, reviews are an author's subsistence. Really, is it so difficult for you guys to review instead of just putting this fic up in your favorites and alerts?

Pairings: Tieria/Ami, Mamoru/Usagi and quite possible Setsuna/Hotaru.

Just in case anyone is still confused, Kubo Satoshi is the Present Day Tieria Erde and Faheem Kamal is the Present Day Setsuna F. Seiei.

Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.

Chapter 90: Awakening of the Messiah of Silence? Stars of Destiny


In Rei's room...

"Is Usagi here?" Chibi-Usa asked. "I'm sorry to bother you right in the middle of your preparations for entrance exams. But I have favor to ask from Usagi-onee-sama. Actually, it's this." she showed the Senshi the planetarium pamphlet.

"I see." Minako looked closer. "This week, it will be narrated by that cutie boy DJ, Thomas Harris."

"In any case, it's close to here, so I thought I could invite Hotaru and Kamal." Chibi-Usa piped in.

"All right, let's go tomorrow." Usagi relented.

"The enemy is still collecting Pure Hearts." Ami reminded.

"I can't wait for tomorrow!" Chibi-Usa beamed. "And can I count on you for the admission fees, too?" she played up the pleading daughter act. "For the both of us?"


Later that night...

"Lately, that dream where the world fell into ruin, it's getting stronger than before." Michiru informed the other Outer Senshi.

"If they have indeed awoken the user of the Grail as the evil Messiah of Silence..." Setsuna trailed.

"In any case, Hotaru." Haruka stated. "We have suspicions that your father is a member of the Death Busters."

"I get the feeling, too." Hotaru admitted quietly. "And the caretaker, Kaori, isn't what she says she is."

In Mistress Nine's room...

"It's almost time." Mistress Nine droned. "Soon, I will awaken. That time will be when what you wish for, silence will cover this planet."

"We were not mistaken to choose you as the Messiah of Silence." Professor Tomoe stated.

"I am the only one who can fulfill your wishes." Mistress Nine reminded. "If you wish for me to awaken sooner, seek Pure Hearts that become energy for my awakening. Be of use to me. Try to make me happier."


In the Witches Four office...

"Professor?" Mimete took the call. "It's perfect. Do you like the stars, Professor? This time, I'm sure to... leave it to me."


Later, after school on Friday...

"Hotaru, Kamal" Chibi-Usa waved to the older pair of students.

"You were waiting for us, chibisuke?" Kamal teased.

"I'm not a chibisuke." Chibi-Usa pouted. "Here." she showed the pair the planetarium poster. "There's a new planetarium that opened up nearby. I thought about going with the two of you. Let's go right now."

"Right now?" Hotaru echoed. "I should ask Papa first whether I can go or not. We're on our way back to school."

"If you do that, the show will start." Chibi-Usa pulled Hotaru off.

"Give me a minute and call my bodyguards." Kamal sighed, pulled out a portable phone and pressed the speed dial. "I'm done." he ended the call. "Shall we go?"

"If that's the case, let's hurry." Minako urged the kids along.


In the planetarium...

"And Andromeda, born of arrogant and selfish parents had both arms and legs chained together." Thomas Harris continued his presentation. "And with her freedom gone, she was sacrificed to a monster in the sea. The pain continued until Perseus came to rescue her. As you may well know, there are many more sad tales concerning the girls of the stars. The giant scorpion let loose by the Goddess of the Earth is a summer constellation." he showed the Scorpio constellation. "Orion only shows himself in..."

Just then, Usagi felt Setsuna's gaze trained on her and the blond looked back to find the Time Senshi at the door.

"Why are you here, Setsuna?" Rei asked, the Inner Senshi had snuck out to meet Setsuna.

"Did an enemy appear?" Usagi asked.

"I believe we can no longer fight without telling you the truth." Setsuna admitted. "Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and I have an objective: to prevent the arrival of the approaching Silence. Our enemy is an intruder from outer space, known as the Death Busters. The Silence is the destruction of the world. I'm sure that you, Sailor Mars, you have already seen it in the form for a foretelling dream?"

"I wasn't sure about it." Rei confessed. "It's just that ever since those monsters called Daimons started to appear, I've been seeing that horrible dream over and over."

"That's the Silence we need to prevent." Setsuna stated. "The image of Earth's destruction. Please place your hearts inside the light of the orb on the tip of this Rod." she summoned her Garnet Rod. "You should be able to see the image that Mars have been dreaming about. If the enemy, the Messiah of Silence awakens, this will become a reality."

Just then, horrified screams sounded from the audience and U-Chouten popped out form Mimete's briefcase.

"In your place, wish upon a star." U-Chouten sent a star-shaped beam into the fleeing audience. Another two energy beams shattered the glass case Thomas was in.

"I'll get rid of the crowd, so you get Thomas' Pure Heart." Mimete instructed the Daimon. "Charm Buster!" she sent her attack at the still present audience.

"Why does this always happen?" Hotaru muttered, the three pre-teens were hiding behind the railing in the back of the room. "Kamal, go hide. Chibi-Usa..."

"Right." the pink-haired girl nodded. "Moon Prism Power, Make Up!"

"Saturn Planet Power, Make Up!"

"Hold it right there!" Sailor Moon declared. "Stars that twinkle in the sky, sharing your feelings with the bright stars. A planetarium is a place full of dreams. Someone who wrecks such a place of dreams, I, Sailor Moon, will punish you in the name of Moon!"

"Sheesh, why do you always get in my way?" Mimete fumed. "U-Chouten, save the Pure Heart for later. First, get rid of those who get in our way. I'm trusting you to take care of the rest." she retreated.

"Then, everyone, with me..." U-Chouten readied her attack.

"Death Scythe!" Sailor Saturn's curved energy blade cut off the Daimon's hat, revealing a star-shaped projector in her head.

"It looks like it got worse than before." Sailor Venus muttered, the Inner Senshi were hiding behind some seat as U-Chouten fired off a series of star-shaped blasts.

"Doom Bolt!" Sailor Saturn sent a powered-down version of her usual 'Doom Bolt' on the Daimon, paralyzing U-Chouten.

"Crisis, Make Up!" taking the opening, Sailor Mercury summoned the Grail's power. "Aurora Execution!" the ice Senshi blasted the powerful blizzard of absolute zero at U-Chouten, destroying her once the ice block shattered.
