Noriko Okamachi unlocked her door and walked into her house. She had recently won a trip to the Rocky Mountains in a dog show. She had just dropped her dog off at a friend's house, in order to pack her belongings without a fuss. But inside, she could see her umbrella rack had been knocked over while she was out. There were also hand indentations embedded in the wall. When she followed them into the kitchen, stopping at what she saw. A large metal man, with an unusual sort of gun mounted on its arm.

"Who are you?", Noriko said with fear on her face. "Why are you here?"

"For you!", was the reply she received. Then the figure held out his hand towards her, causing a jewelled capsule to appear out of her chest and fly into his his clutch. Then Noriko convulsed, turning into something else entirely. Soon, Noriko Okamachi was gone, in her place stood another Phage. Motro was pleased. "Identify yourself. Whom do you serve?"

The creature giggled incessantly. She had pink hair and white skin, wearing sunglasses on her head and a red, ankle-length dress. "I am Sailor Ojou. If I serve anyone, it's you, big boy."


Elsewhere, back at Haruka and Michiru's house, Motro's other forces were on the attack. Haruka turned to their house guest, Sailor Leaguer. "So you weren't lying when you said they were after you?"

"Not a good time, blondie.", was the reply their bound guest gave, as Sailor Director advanced. Leaguer tried to reason with her former comrade. "Director! Akane! You've got to remember who you are and let me go."

"You turned your back on Lord Motro when you came to the Senshi for help.", was all Director had to say to her. But as she advance, Haruka and Michiru managed to overpower their captors, Sailor Geshika and Sailor Medicine, and pulled out their power pens to transform.

"Uranus Planet Power!"

"Neptune Star Power!"

Within seconds, the two had transformed into the Outer Scouts, Uranus and Neptune. Then an evil laugh filled the air.

Motro stepped through the hole in the wall with his new servant. "I knew I had found your location when I registered a massive aura signal.", he gloated. "Then he detached his cannon from his arm and split it into two swords, throughing one to Haruka. "Now Tenoh, we finish this once and for all."

"Agreed.", Haruka nodded, with some anger. She just wanted to kill this guy, without seeing if there was still good in him. The two crossed swords as Sailor Ojou joined her new comrades in fighting Neptune and Leaguer.

"Let's see how you girls do against someone more beautiful than you.", Ojou giggled.

"That's rich, coming from someone with pink hair and a tacky dress.", Leaguer quipped in response.

But then, Ojou ripped off her red dress, exposing a more revealing black outfit. This also seemed to increase the power she had, as she managed to take down both opponents without much trouble. While Leaguer managed to summon up the energy to jump out the hole, Neptune was not so fortunate. The four Phages decided to take her as a prisoner.


Outside, Sailor Uranus and Motro continued their duel, the metal man swinging his blade and tearing her uniform. In retaliation, the Senshi warrior called upon her power, which caused the sword she wielded to turn into a more traditional version. (Elsewhere, a mirror appeared in Sailor Neptune's pocket.)

"Uranus Space Sword Shock!" With three slashes, Motro's shoulder pad, weapon and chest plate were severed and knocked off the hill. The missing chest plate now exposed the 6 Rainbow Crystals he had gathered. "It's over.", she stated.

Now Motro was angry. "Not over! NEVER OVER!"

Then a rose flew down and Motro turned to the source. It was Tuxedo Mask, now with a domino mask as opposed to his full face helmet from last time. "I have to thank you, Sailor Uranus. If it wasn't for this creature hunting you down, I wouldn't be able to find the Rainbow Crystals."

Motro was confused. "I thought your objective was to destroy the Dark Kingdom. What changed your modus operandi?"

"I was out to destroy the Dark Kingdom. But then I had a vision of a princess in my dreams, the same I've been having for 8 years. She told me to find the Rainbow Crystals. She promised that then, she would be free and that I would remember my real name."

"I didn't ask for your life story.", Motro responded. Then he realised something from the data he had absorbed from the six Crystals. "But you are correct about one thing. The Silver Crystal can tell you who you are, Prince!" While they were shocked, he knocked Uranus out, grabbed her Crystal (disguised as a clasp on her bow) and inserted it into his chest. The Crystal holder now started spinning, Motro himself now surrounded by a golden glow. He then grabbed Tuxedo Mask and carried him away, the next step of his plan already underway…

To be continued!
