War...


Philip had Rani over at his place that night. She leaned against him.

"Tired?"
Rani nodded.

"The Silver Ninja had to take care of the cloaked spirit."

"She's been around a lot."

"I haven't seen the white one too much."

She got up and threw a pillow at him. He threw one back at him then
they both laughed. PILLOW FIGHT!

Haruka was white as ghost as she woke up that morning. She was worried
about bumping into that girl again. She didn't want to think about it
for the rest of the day. Philip visited Rani at work and gave her a
rose to cheer her up. She smiled, kissed him, and gave him a hug. She
needed it she wasn't having a good day. Everyone was demanding
everything from her all at once.

"How'd you know?" she asked.

"I just know" he whispered.

"Ahem." A familiar voice cleared their throat.
Rani and Philip turned around to see all the Senshi smiling at them.
Philip smiled and drew away from her. Mamoru held up his arm
and pointed to his watch to Philip.

"I'm going to play soccer with Mamoru. I'll see you later." He smiles.
They kissed each other's cheeks and said good-bye as Philip ran out
with Mamoru.

"Are you sure you're not married?" Minako asked.
Rani shook her head and smiled.

"I need a break right now where's this Neo Geo Land I haven't been
there yet." She smiled.
Usagi's eyes lit up. She grabbed Rani's hand and practically flew her
to Neo Geo Land.

"You like arcade games Usagi--chan?" Rani asked trying to catch her
breath.

"Hai" Usagi smiled.
Rani looked around and smiled big.

"Yeah I get to finally have some fun now." Rani laughed. She was
practically all over the room. Now she was starting to act like Usagi.
The rest of the Senshi came walking in.

"Haruka" Rani rushed up to her. Haruka had a surprised look on her face.
Rani took her hand and dragged her off to another game.

"I think she's hanging around Usagi too much." Minako said.

"They don't know each other that well." Michiru confirmed.
Rani looked at her watch.

"I have to go back" she said to Haruka.

"I'll come by tomorrow." Haruka said

"Okay." Rani smiled.
Rani went to the rest of the Senshi and said she had to get back to
work.

"Rani-san" Usagi said coming up to her. "Try this new one." she pointed.

"Usagi-chan, I have to go back."

"But we just got here." She whined then started to cry. She really
wanted Rani to try that game.

"Is she usually like this?" Rani asked the other Senshi.

"Uh-huh" they all said hanging their heads (big sweat drop).
That night Philip picked up Rani from work.

"How was soccer?" She asked.

"It was okay. Mamoru's pretty good but he's too serious half the time
like he's hiding something. He had so many roses at his apartment."
Rani started to tell Philip about Usagi in the arcade he laughed.
He stopped when they both saw a dark shadow in front of them flying
over head. They both hit the floor.

"It's another cloaked spirit." Philip said.

"World Shaking!" a ball of energy flew over their heads and hits the
spirit. The spirit's cloak fell to the floor and four more spirits came
from it on the ground.

"Go, I'll take care of them." Uranus said to them.
Rani and Philip looked at her then ran off.
The four cloaked spirits rushed toward Sailor Uranus. Uranus froze for
a second.

"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" thousands of green leaves flew at the sprits
stunning them.

"World Shaking!" Uranus yelled and the spirits spreads their cloaks in
time to absorb her attack.
Jupiter ran up to Uranus.

"Thanks" Uranus smiled "but we still have to get rid of them."

"How?" Jupiter scrutinized them "They're too powerful."

Suddenly two energy beams from opposite directions hit the four cloaked
spirits and they disappeared.
Jupiter and Uranus looked up On two buildings across from another stood
the girl and the other a guy. Jupiter looked up at the guy. He was in
black with a white belt, white scarf and headband flowing, and a white
mask that covered his face from the nose down. He stood prominently
with his staff.

"We warned you not to interfere in our fight." The girl replied
pointing her sword to them. "We're going to have to teach you a lesson."

"Who are you?" Uranus asked.

"Need you ask?" the guy replied.

"I'm the Silver Ninja" the girl replied.

"I'm the White Ninja" the guy replied.

"This bores me prepare yourselves." the Silver Ninja challenged them.
The ninjas flew down pushing Uranus and Jupiter to the ground.
Jupiter kicked the guy backward above her flipping him forward, Uranus
did the same with her opponent.
The ninjas landed on their feet.

"Jupiter Sparkling Wide Pressure!" she yelled and her attack flew
toward the guy. He held out his staff and it absorbed her attack.
He laughed as his staff glowed.

"Can't you do better, Jupiter?" he said pointing his staff to her.

A blast from his staff shot out and
rushed toward Jupiter along with her attack. She barely got out of the
way in time.

Meanwhile the Silver Ninja and Uranus were fighting.

"Space Sword Blaster!" Uranus swung her sword as a blast came out from
the blade. The ninja dodged it and rushed at Uranus with her sword.
Their swords clashed as they looked each other in the eyes. Uranus
pushed her away.

"World Shaking!" Uranus yelled.
The ninja caught the ball and a look of fear was in Uranus face

"Elemental Soul!" the ninja yelled and sent the even stronger
blast back at Uranus. Jupiter and Uranus jumped out of the way but
still felt the impact leaving them weak.

The ninjas stood together.

"That's enough let's go." They went to a shadow looked back and their
opponents and disappeared through the shadows. Uranus and Jupiter
slowly got up.

"Damn it!" Uranus yelled.

"We'll get them next time." Jupiter said.
Uranus lowered her head and covered her bloody arm Jupiter held her own
bruised shoulder.

The next day Haruka met Rani after she was finished with work. Haruka
was holding her sore arm and smile at Rani.

"You okay?" Rani asked.

"A little accident just a sore arm. It's feeling better already."

"So how's the track?"

"It's great, I love it."

"Can I see your car?"
Haruka froze.

"Sure want to go for a drive?"
Rani smiled.

They went for a quick drive. Rani kept sticking her head out of the
sun-roof then Haruka laughed at her. When they finished the sky turned
dark awfully quickly then all the Senshi appeared.

"Take her to safety" Sailor Moon said to Haruka.
Haruka took Rani's hand and led her off the track.

"You know Sailor Moon?" Rani asked suspiciously.

"Uh, that's not important right now. Go I'll check up on you later."

Rani left as Haruka ran back to the Senshi and transformed into Sailor
Uranus. She met up with the rest of them. They looked up at the sky
ready for something to happen.

"What's going on?" Sailor Moon asked.

"I don't know" Mercury said looking in her computer.

They turned to look at each other and before them stood the White and
Silver Ninja. The Senshi gasped and stood in fighting positions.

"Stop!" the Silver one said calmly.

"We didn't come here to fight." the White one said.

"How can we trust you?" Pluto asked

"You don't" the Silver one said.
Everyone looked at Sailor Moon.

"Go ahead, state your business." Sailor Moon replied.

"Better go, Hoshiro's coming back."

"Hoshiro, who's..." Mars said.
Suddenly a beam from the sky came down between the Senshi and the two
ninjas. The beam disappeared and left behind Sen, the most powerful
cloaked spirit. His eyes were sinister, red with a hood and without a
face.

"Sen," the White Ninja confirmed.

"Who's Sen?" Uranus asked

"Hoshiro's faithful servant and protector..."

"In other words...no one to mess with." the Silver one said. "Strange,
Sen, isn't attacking us, he's waiting for something?"

"Sen," a voice called. Sen bowed his head as Hoshiro appeared. An
image of and evil woman over a dark pool of water appeared. She had
long dark hair. Sleek dark eyes, dressed in red, red as the color of
blood. Her headdress was over her head slicking back her hair
heightening the evilness in her eyes.

"Sen," she commanded again "Find me a male of the purest heart."
The image disappeared as Sen gazed down at the Senshi for a while.
After a few minutes he disappeared too.

"Male of the purest heart." Sailor Moon said to herself.

Meanwhile Hoshiro was contemplating who's the one she's looking for.
She meditated for a while and got a vision in her dark pool of the
White Ninja.

"The White Ninja, of course, together he and the Silver Ninja can
defeat me but not if I destroy him first. The Silver Ninja can't
defeat me by herself." She laughed "I can wait a little while I'm a
patient woman. I'll let Sen know when the time is right."

"Who are you?" the Senshi asked.

"Now's not a good time to tell you." The White Ninja said.

"Well tell us about Sen?" Jupiter asked

"Sen's, Hoshiro's protector, he doesn't speak and he's very powerful
what else is there to be said?" the Silver one said.

"What does Hoshiro want?" Hotaru asked.

"Who knows." the Silver one spoke again. "Male of the purest heart,
poor guy."

"Why are you telling us this?"

"Listen, this is our fight. Now that you know the whole story stay out
of it." the White one said.

"Hoshiro destroyed another distant galaxy and now she's after this one."
the Silver one said. "We're here to protect it."

"No we're the Sailor Senshi sworn to protect this planet." Jupiter said

Sailor Saturn put her Glaive against the Silver Ninja's neck. Sailor
Uranus put her space sword against the White Ninja's neck. Mars got her
Flame Sniper ready just in case one of them moved.

"We defeated Galaxia." Sailor Moon said.

"Hoshiro's more powerful than Galaxia." the Silver one said. The Senshi
froze for a second.

"It's our duty to defend this planet." Sailor Moon said.

"It may be your duty to defend the planet but it's our duty to destroy
anything that gets in our way." the White Ninja said.

"We're not going to let a bunch of weak, pathetic, teenage girls stand
in our way." The Silver Ninja threatened.

All the Senshi narrowed their eyes and the fight started between them. Mars let
her Sniper fly to the Silver Ninja with rage in her face. The Silver
Ninja disappeared before it hit her. The White Ninja disappeared and
appeared in back of Sailor Moon. His staff turned into a sword and he
put it to her neck. The Silver Ninja appeared, took her wand, and held
her sword to Sailor Moon's stomach.

"Stop, or your leader becomes a...pin cushion!" the White Ninja laughed.

"Throw down your weapons now." The Silver Ninja yelled.
The Senshi hesitated.

"Do what they say" Sailor Moon said softly. The White Ninja held her
tighter and drew a drop of blood on her neck.

Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn dropped their Talismans. The Silver
Ninja sensed an object flying toward her. She swung her sword and cuts
the object in half. There was a rose on the floor split in half. The
ninjas looked up seeing Tuxedo Kamen flying toward the White Ninja
with his cane. The White Ninja disappeared as Tuxedo Kamen went face
first into the ground. The White Ninja appeared in front of Tuxedo
Kamen where his face was still in the ground.

"Get up cape-boy!" The White Ninja challenged him.
Tuxedo Kamen slowly got up and stood before the White Ninja in a
fighting stance.

Sailor Moon kneeled on the floor covering her neck. The Inner Senshi
gathered around Sailor Moon as the Outer Senshi gathered their
talismans. The Silver Ninja threw down Sailor Moon's wand on the ground.

"Back me up." Uranus said to the rest of the Outer Senshi.

"Space Sword Blaster!" She yelled. The blast flew toward the Silver
Ninja cutting her sleeve. The Silver Ninja narrowed her eyes at Uranus
holding her bloody arm.

Meanwhile Sailor Moon was watching the fight between Tuxedo Kamen and
the White Ninja. Tuxedo Kamen swung his staff at the White Ninja. The
ninja blocked his blow and thrust his staff into Tuxedo Kamen's
stomach that made him keel over. The ninja did a kick to the side of
his opponent's head. Tuxedo Kamen held up his arm but didn't set his
block in time so he still felt the hard impact. The ninja quickly spun
around and did a spin kick to the other side of his opponent's head.
He then did a multi-kick on both sides of his opponent's head. Then he
ended his combination with an upper-cut sending Tuxedo Kamen upwards.
The ninja stood still as light surrounded him. The earth shook as four
columns of earth rose around the White Ninja. One by one the columns
hit Tuxedo Kamen in the air. The last column slammed him into a wall
leaving a deep imprint of how powerful the attack was. He fell to the
ground unconscious and sprawled out on the floor.

"Tuxedo Kamen!" Sailor Moon cried.
She and the Inner Senshi ran to him.

"Don't you ever learn Uranus?" the Silver Ninja said.

"Shut-up and fight!" Uranus yelled. "I'll drop my sword if you drop
yours."

"Fine, the last guy who fought me lost a finger and that was his only
lesson."

Uranus ran toward her throwing a punch but missed. The Silver Ninja
jumped up doing a multiple two leg kick to her opponent's head and
ended it with a spin kick. The ninja landed on the ground and did ten
elbow jabs towards Uranus' head and stomach. Uranus tried to block
them but didn't have much luck. The ninja was just too fast for her.
One hit her really badly in the stomach that made Uranus keel over. The
ninja leaned over forward as her leg went back over her head and hit
Uranus overhead in the face. The ninja did a two-handed upper-cut
sending Uranus upwards. The ninja stood still as light came up around
her. The earth shook again this time four columns of water came from
the ground. The ninja raised her arm as the four columns merged into
one. The huge column sent Uranus flying and slamming into the same wall
as Tuxedo Kamen, leaving another deep imprint of the attack. Uranus
fell to the ground unconscious and sprawled out on the floor.

"Haruka!" the outer Senshi cried as tears streamed down their faces.
