Serena woke up in her bed again she was really getting annoyed with this. Was she going to pass out everytime she had to fight. She went downstairs to find Darien playing with Sammy and Luna-P. Luna was sitting on the living room table and Ikuko and Kenji were watching t.v. Darien spotted her first.
"Sorry." He smiled catching Luna-P "He came to me with it and I thought he had permission to play with it."
"No, he doesn't!" Serena said, stomping her foot. Then sighed when Sammy gave her big puppy dog eyes full of tears. "Fine you can play with Luna-P, Sammy but you better not break it. Luna-P is really important."
Sammy nodded and hugged Serena grinning.
Rei Hino was annoyed she'd spent the last few days back in her five year old body with no way to contact the others and find out what was going on. She hated this! She had to contact them somehow! She had to know why she was a little kid again. So here she was with her long black hair tied back in a red ribbon staring into the fire trying to find out what the heck was going on.
She'd been at it for an hour now and she finally saw chaos. People running around, things and places being destroyed. She saw the Sailor Senshi being lead into battle but that was Queen Serenity leading them. She saw Mini Moon and Pluto running into the battle then an explosion and she fell over.
She heard chuckling and looked to see her grandfather holding a school uniform.
"Diving the future is hard, Rei, whatever you saw may not yet come to pass."
It was now that Rei discovered that she had tears in her eyes. She nodded up at him.
"Put this on, I enrolled you at a new school. I don't think I like the one your father chose for you."
Rei took the uniform and Grandpa left so she could change.
When that was done they were on their way to the new school.
Stories converge!
Serena and Darien met up with Ami and Zoisite as soon as they reached the school. Luna was in plan sight today and quickly jumped on to Ami's head. Before anyone could say anything Serena was on the ground and Zoisite was chasing after Luna-P he didn't reach it though as another of the Shitennou had reached it first and was walking over.
"REI!" Serena bawled to the girl who'd tackled her to the ground and was hugging her. "I missed you too!"
Darien pulled them to their feet and got hugged by Rei for his effort then it was Ami. Then Luna. Rei was suddenly on alert standing in front of Serena with a talisman in her hand.
"Rei, please calm down." Ami said, "Zoisite is on our side now. His soul has been cleansed and his memory returned."
"Does that go for Jadeite too?" Rei wondered, jerking her chin.
"When did you get here?" Darien wondered looking at Jadeite who held Luna-P.
"I enrolled today." Jadeite replied, eyes on his fiery priestess. "Or rather my family enrolled me today. We've been Nagasaki but suddenly moved here according to my memories. The Princesses toy."
He held Luna-P out. Rei grabbed it and then blinked at it.
"Luna-P?" she asked turning to look at Serena. "I think you might want to explain. I got a weird vision this morning of the Crystal Moon Kingdom being destroyed. You lead us into battle, but we were no match for what we were fighting. Then Pluto and Mini Moon showed up then there was an explosion and everything just went blank I fell over and I was ...crying..."
"So they were destroyed." Luna sighed. "Serena, if you would."
Serena took Luna-P and played the message.
"So Pluto blundered." Jadeite wondered pulling Rei to his chest with his arms around her much as Zoisite was holding Ami and Darien was holding Serena. "She threw you into your child forms and somehow brought us back as well."
"Like I said yesterday..." Serena said, "I think our Pluto interfered with their Pluto somehow but I can't say for sure until she's with us."
Luna quickly got Rei her pen and Rei and Jadeite their communicators.
"Finally, a way to reach you guys." Rei sighed in relief. "I was going crazy."
"Oh, right!" Serena said. "Invite Rei Hino Sailor Mars." Rei jumped as a red screen appeared in front of her at Ami's nod she pressed yes. "Invite Jadeite of Shitennou."
Jadeite's screen was in his color and he quickly accepted as well.
"You're hair is longer." Rei commented.
"Yes, I noticed." Jadeite said, blandly blowing his bangs out of his face.
They were laughing and getting caught up at lunch now.
"and the first battle we had she spent the whole time yelling 'I want Mars' ." Darien laughed.
The others laughed too but Serena was blushing.
"My Pink Moon Stick is unreliable." she huffed puffing out her cheeks. "And I was still fighting. I even created my own move."
"Did you?" Rei asked.
"Yep, It's called Moon Yo-Yo Attack." Serena explained, "Apparently, it wasn't in my normal Mini Moon Arsenal because it said I created the attack. It works though. "
"Yes, I was wondering about that." Luna said, frowning, "No Mini Moon has ever used an attack like that before. That's what I call using your head. Very good job, Serena."
Serena beamed.
"But we've got an issue." Darien said.
"Oh, yeah." Serena exclaimed. "My parents saw me transform." She rubbed her head.
"Meaning they saw me transform as well." Ami sighed, "My mother did as well. I had to do a whole lot of acting and lying to get around telling her my brain is from the future."
"If they saw you two transform they saw Darien and I transform as well." Zoisite replied. "We weren't long after you."
"You let them fight on their own without me!" Rei cried. "Are you sure you're back to being good?"
Serena and Ami giggled.
"We didn't have a choice, Rei." Darien tried to pacify the girl. " Neither of us can control the transformation yet they had to be in danger for us to change."
"It seemed that I still have my knowledge of being a Senshi." Ami said, "I could move and dodge just like I could before only this body isn't as fast and is not used to it."
"Right." Serena nodded. "I noticed that too. It's annoying really, I did all that training and all those fights and now I'm back at square one using Supersonic Cry..." Rei flinched, "and the most unreliable moon attack ever!"
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack?" Rei asked, "You can't control it anymore than Rini then?"
"I've got a 2% chance to hit now." Serena sighed. "It leveled up at least but that's what threw me in the first battle. I didn't have my normal arsenal of weapons and attacks and this body just doesn't want to cooperate with fighting."
They all stared at her in shock. She huffed and puffed out her cheeks again.
Rei hugged her and whispered a thank you in Serena's ear.
Serena understood that Rei was thanking her for saying she need and wanted her in that first battle. As they'd gotten older and fought more battles it had become apparent that Serena was learning and by the end it had seemed to Rei like Serena hadn't needed them anymore. It had hurt. Sure she'd been the second scout in and were never admit it but Serena was her best friend and it had hurt to think that Serena would never need her again.
Serena smiled at her and they spent the rest of lunch running around and goofing off while trying to raise their stats.
The day seemed to pass without incident which made everyone nervous because they'd just gotten Mars and Jadeite back there should have been a battle.
It was around midnight when the answer came.
"Serena, honey, wake up." Serena opened her eyes to see Ikuko. "Your watch..."
Serena rolled over and opened the moon on her watch.
"I swear you can sleep through anything!"
"What's up, Rei?" Serena yawned.
"Monster at the Temple. Some kind of crow. AH! TWO OF THEM!"
"Okay, send Jadeite to get us neither of us can Teleport."
"He says he can't teleport that far right now!" Rei bawled.
Darien was living with the Tsukino family for now so Kenji drove him, Serena, Luna and Luna-P to Rei's temple while feeling bad that he had to get directions from Darien. He followed them up the stairs but almost fell over when Ami shot past him with Zoisite. Her mother followed looking frazzled.
"Mini Moon Power!"
"Mini Mercury Power!"
"Luna-P Henge!" Moon cried bouncing Luna-P. "Moon Yo-Yo!"
She caught her yo-yo and they quickly rushed up the steps.
"Mercury, together!" Moon yelled, "Mars and Jadeite are pinned down!"
"Moon Yo-Yo..."
"Mercury Bubble..."
"Attack/Spray!"
The bubbles surrounded the yo-yo and hit the two crows quickly sending them flying into the temple.
Mars and Jadeite looked at them in relief then ran over.
"If you can't teleport that far how did you get here?" Moon questioned. "and don't you have the power to move things with your mind? And Illusions? "
"I can still do that?" Jadeite wondered. Spinning in front of the girls he held his hands out and sent one crow flying. "I can only do one at a time and not for long. Where are the others?"
"We have to be in danger for them to transform." Mercury said, "Mars what attacks do you have?"
"I've tried Fire Balls Charge but they keep bursting through it." Mars said, "It's annoying. "
"Mars Fire Flicker." Luna ordered.
"That doesn't sound strong!" Mars cried. "Use Luna-P to make me a bow!"
All of them jumped away from the crows.
"Luna-P Magic!' Serena yelled, "Create a bow for Mars!"
She launched a spinning yo-yo in to the air and a bow appeared. Mars jumped up and caught it as Mercury created her bubbles and sprayed them at a Crow. In a flash Zoisite was there making her bubbles a shield of ice. He'd transformed.
"Moon Yo-Yo Attack!"
She hit the crow Mercury and Zoisite were facing off against over and over again.
"Mars Fire Arrow!"
Sure enough a fire arrow pinned the crow to a tree. They looked to see Mars bow in hand readying another arrow which was trying to light on fire. Jadeite had created a barrier around them.
"Zoisite, try to help Rei light the arrows." Moon ordered. "Mercury, blind this one while I get the Pink Moon Stick."
She pulled it out and stood in direct moonlight. She pointed it.
Crow has been blinded.
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!"
The force of the attack made Moon slide backwards but she clenched her teeth and held it as it hit the crow making it explode in smoke.
Mask was suddenly there, finally, using his poll to keep the remaining crow away from Moon.
"Where did that come from?" He yelled.
"I stood in the moonlight and got a boost." She explained.
A fire arrow hit the Crow.
"Okay, listen up here's how it's going to go..." Moon ordered.
Jadeite was set to hold the crow while Mercury blinded it. Zoisite lit Mars' bow and fired pinning the crow and Moon finished the fight with Pink Sugar Heart Attack.
Serena fell on her butt Pink Moon Stick still in hand.
Pink Sugar Heart Attack -4
You get a boost for figuring out to use it in moonlight.
For figuring out how to boost your attack, 4 INT/WIS
"I'm so glad today is Saturday." Serena moaned catching Luna-P.
"You're not the only one." Rei sighed, holding the bow. "Do I get to keep this?"
"Uh-huh." Serena nodded.
Then fell over and passed out. Ami wasn't far behind. Rei sweat dropped.
"I'm the one who uses fire which is exhausting and they're the ones to pass out." Rei asked.
"Ami is the weakest of us." Luna replied. "and Serena's Moon attacks take a lot of energy especially in the day time. You all need to rest and regain your strength. Keep that bow close for next time, Rei put it in your inventory. All six of you did a wonderful job tonight."
"I feel useless." Darien sighed, "Everyone did something to help but all I did was keep it away from Serena I'm never included in the group attacks."
"You will be once you find your true power." Luna chuckled. "Now lets all go home."
Rei passed out as soon as she was back in her room maybe fighting had taken it's toll on her body. Her last thought before sleep sucked her under was that she would be seeing Jupiter tomorrow because that was the scout that had appeared next in their last life.
