Rowen yawned in the sun, "Wonder who we're supposed to meet." He turned to Anubis; "Do you know?" Anubis smiled, "You'll find out." Sage groaned, "Ugh. Anubis, have you ever in your entire life ever given anyone a straight answer?" The red head shrugged, "Probably not." Rowen shook his head, "Never mind, forget it." Just then Cye turned around suddenly. Kento looked at his best friend, "What's the matter Cye?" "Have you ever seen a motorcycle driving up a flight of stairs." Kento looked at him strangely, "No…Why?" Cye pointed behind him "Because there's one doing that right now." Everyone after hearing that turned around to see a black motorcycle with a rider wearing a red helmet come crashing up the steps to the temple. "What the…" Sage started as the insane driver sped towards them and stopped to a crashing halt in front of them. Kento was enraged, "Hey, mister what are you trying to do? Kill us?!" The driver stood up quickly and to Kento's embarrassment and surprise it was a woman. She pulled of her helmet quickly and placed it on the handle of the motorcycle. "Haruka?" Sage asked in surprise as the blonde glared at them. "Yes, it's me. Where's that idiot Anubis." "He's right here." Said Rowen pointing to the empty spot beside him. Haruka gave him a questionable look. Rowen shrugged, "He was here a moment ago." "Hello Haruka, looking for me?" They turned around at the voice of Anubis who appeared suddenly behind Haruka. She grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, "What on Earth were you doing with my car?" she asked almost screaming into his face. Cye looked on in amusement, he was surprised that a man could stay so calm in the face of a "madwoman". "I borrowed it to pick up the 5 of them. Why did you need it?" asked Anubis nonchalantly. Sage looked in surprise at Haruka; it looked as if she was about to blow up. Haruka breathed slowly in and out. Finally she spoke, "Do you know why I was late for the concert?" "No, why?" asked Sage questionably. "Because of this idiot, I didn't have a car and had no way of getting to the concert hall. I had to run from our house to the concert hall and my house is 15 miles away!!!!" Haruka yelled in Anubis' face, emphasizing the last sentence. Anubis winced, "Hey, it's not my fault. I never knew it was your car. Setsuna gave me your car keys." "She what?!" Just then Setsuna's car pulled up in front of the temple and she and Helios exited the car. Helios' eyes were red and puffy looking and his face looked worn and weary. Rowen noted these signs and wondered what had happened. Haruka (after releasing her victim Anubis) stormed up to 'greet' Setsuna. "There goes the storm" muttered Rowen. Sage had a confused look on his face; he turned to Rowen, "Ok let me get this straight, Haruka is the owner of that fabulous sports car, can drive a motorcycle extremely well, and ran 15 miles in about an hour?" Rowen nodded. Sage sighed, "Oh my…" Meanwhile Haruka had reached Setsuna and they were having a heated argument as they climbed the flight of stairs to the temple. "What or who gave you the right to just hand over my car keys to him without even asking me?" "Well, we were desperate and you weren't home so we had to do something." "Then call a cab for all I care!!!!" "My my my, you're touchy Haruka. Now think about this; what or who is more important. Your car or our allies and your little lover boy over there." Sage, hearing this turned a deep crimson. Haruka paused for a little, but not for long, "Setsuna, that car was a present given to me by my teacher and is currently worth about $90,000.00. I highly doubt that you or Anubis would have that kind of money." Setsuna sighed, "I really don't have time for this Haruka, go find someone else to complain to." She said as she tried to push past Haruka. Haruka didn't move. "No, we're going to settle this now. I would appreciate if you respected my property and me once in a while." "So, what do you propose?" Haruka paused a little, "I suggest we fight it out, winner takes all." Setsuna raised her eyebrow, "You really expect to beat me?" Haruka laughed, "I plan to completely annihilate you." Just then Helios stepped in, "Please, the purpose of you being here is not to fight amongst each other but to solve the problem that is at hand." Setsuna nodded in agreement, "I agree Helios, but I don't think Ms. Haruka here would be satisfied without a fight." Then, without much ado they both shouted:
"Pluto Star Power!"
"Uranus Star Power!"
Anubis sighed in resignation, "Forget it Helios, they're not going to listen to you." Helios nodded and stepped aside to watch the to battle it out. Uranus and Pluto both started attacking each other with weapons; Uranus with her Space Sword and Pluto with her Time Staff. Uranus thrust forward with her sword, hoping to catch Pluto off guard. She jumped up and flipped over Uranus. "Nice!" said Rowen. "Go Haruka." Shouted Sage. Sage and Rowen glared at each other and continued to watch the fight. Pluto brought the end with the Garnet Orb down hard towards the back of Haruka's head. She heard the noise and blocked it with her sword. Staff and sword locked together and it began to become a tug of war in strength. Because Pluto's staff was so much bigger in size she quickly overpowered Uranus's sword and sent it flying to the other side of the courtyard. Setsuna grinned and pointed her Garnet Orb at Uranus's neck. "Give up yet?" Uranus smirked, "Not by far." She said as she did 2 handsprings backward then vaulted forward over Pluto's head. "What on Earth is going on here?" asked a woman with long curly black hair and twin odango shaped buns on both sides of her head. She was followed by 6 people, all of whom Cye, Kento, Rowen and Sage noticed they had seen that day at the concert sitting in the balcony besides them. Pluto and Uranus ignored them completely and continued fighting. The girl with the ponytail shook her head, "This is insane. We called for a meeting not a fight." She muttered more to herself than anyone else. She then shouted:
"Jupiter Crystal Power!"
She transformed into an identical uniform as Uranus and Pluto, except in this case the theme colors were pink and green. "Must be one of the allies Hotaru mentioned." Muttered Kento to Cye. He nodded and continued watching intently. Jupiter jumped in between Uranus and Pluto, "You guys, this is insane. We have a crisis in our hands and all you guys can think of is fighting each other. Usually in these kind of situations you 4 are usually the ones that are more serious and organized, but this time it's as if you've become more immature." When neither appeared to show signs of giving up Jupiter sighed, "You guys I'm serious, we really need to work this situation out. You can settle this fight later, just not right now!" Uranus looked at Pluto in disgust then shook her head, "You're right. Forget it, we'll continue this later Setsuna." She said as she
de-transformed. Pluto followed her lead. Just then Ryo and Rei appeared followed by two pretty maidens. Everyone looked at them questionably and they returned the look. "Did I miss something?" asked Ryo as he looked at Jupiter and Haruka and Setsuna just
de-transforming. "Let's talk inside." She said as she motioned them towards the door. "Michiru and Hotaru will be joining us later, they're picking up some allies." She said as she closed the door behind her and locked it. Cye and Kento looked disappointed. "Ok, first order of business let's all introduce ourselves. My name is Rei Hino and these are my allies Phobos and Deimos of the planet Coronis." The 2 maidens bowed. This went around in a circle. The blonde spoke up, "My name is Minako Aino, also known as Sailor Venus." She winked at Sage, "I'm also known as the goddess of love and beauty." The girl with the ponytail groaned, "Just ignore her. My name is Makoto Kino, also known as Sailor Jupiter." The girl with the short blue hair spoke, "And my name is Ami Mizuno, also known as Sailor Mercury." The man with the long white hair spoke, "My name is Artemis, this is my future wife Luna, and this is our future daughter Diana. We are the guardian cats of the moon." Kento, gave him a weird look, "Eh? That didn't make any sense, how can you and your future wife have a future daughter if you aren't married and how can you be cats?" Artemis smiled amusingly, "I knew somebody would ask that. We were originally cats but we have human forms, so when our princess, Princess Serenity was kidnapped we were somehow turned into humans permanently. As for our daughter, she came back to us from the 30th century as to watch over the young future princess Chibiusa." Kento's complexion creased, "What?" Rowen grinned at the sight of Kento's confusion, "Kento forget it, I don't think any of us will be able to understand what's going on without getting a headache." Rei cleared her throat, "Will the rest of you please introduce yourselves?" The 5 nodded. Ryo began the introductions, "My name is Ryo Sanada, the blonde is Sage Date…" Makoto whispered to Minako "He's cute." Sage heard this and gave them his killer smile. Makoto and Minako blushed and had dreamy looks in their eyes. Haruka rolled her eyes. Ryo continued "…the guy with blue hair is Rowen Hashiba, Cye Mouri is the guy with brown hair and a British accent, and lastly the Chinese guy is Kento Lei Faun. " (Sorry for the typo in chapter 1: it's supposed to be Lei Faun instead of Rei Faun. ::no wonder, Lei Faun sounds more Chinese than Rei Faun::). Just then the door burst open and two people entered, Michiru and Hotaru. "Ah!!!!, Mistress Nine!!!!" screamed Minako and the 4 inner senshi jumped up. Hotaru groaned, "Not again. Okay everybody, I'm Hotaru Tomoe I just kind of grew fast because we needed more powerful fighters against Elia." She said as she seated herself next to Kento (much to his delight) as Michiru sat next to Cye who put his arm around her. Rei glared at her, "And why may I ask didn't you tell me that?" she asked demandingly. Setsuna cut in, "It just happened, I didn't even find out until today." Rei looked angry, "It doesn't matter! When something like this happens I should be the first to know." Haruka who had been sitting quietly next Sage couldn't take any more of Rei's bossiness stood up quickly, causing Sage who had been leaning on her to topple over. "And who made you authority above us all?" asked Haruka angrily. Rei glared at her, "Well we need a leader around here and the inner senshi and I already decided I was to become the successor to Usagi." Michiru didn't like the sound of that. "Are you saying that now that Usagi has been captured you are now the so called ruler of us all and we must follow your every whim." Rei ignored her, "Will you all just shut up and listen? Now that I'm leader around here we need to get some rules straight…" "Rei…just because Usagi gave you permission to be the temporary leader if she was ever gone doesn't mean you have to act like an empress." Said the soft-spoken Ami. She glared at her, "I'm not acting like an empress, I just fell that we need some leadership around here if we ever want to get anything done." She looked around, "Anymore objections?" The room was silent but Ryo could tell that there was a lot of tension in the air. "First things first, I want to make something clear, I want everyone to be extremely careful when fighting Elia and her troops. Nobody is to make any sacrifices at all. Everyone got that clear?" "I disagree." Haruka spoke up. Rei turned upon her, "And why is that?" Michiru spoke, "For the good of this world and for the sake of our princess, sacrifices have to be made and we, the outer senshi are willing to make them." Helios stood up, "I agree, I'm usually a peaceful person but for the sake of the little maiden, my precious lady Chibiusa, I would give up my life for her." Rowen suddenly understood why Helios had appeared so sullen. Phobos spoke up, "As a guard of our lady Mars, I completely agree with her. Besides was it not the policies of our Princess Usagi that we are not to sacrifice any lives at any cost?" she asked. "Exactly." Said Rei, "And I'm sure the others will back me up on this, what do you say guys?" Makoto nodded, "I agree, let's not start with the 'we must sacrifice lives for the good of the world' thing like when the DeathBusters attacked." "Well that's you're opinion, I think us 11 (including Anubis) will follow by our own policies." Said Setsuna as she headed for the door. Rei looked at her angrily, "Go ahead and leave, but I promise you if you follow by your policies, you will be fighting against us rather than fighting with us."
Hey Everyone! How do you like it so far? Oh yeah, I note to some of the readers, Phobos and Deimos were not characters I made up. They were real characters in the manga. Hope you enjoyed it ^.^ I promise the next chapter will be up by next week, thanks for your patience! ~Lady Setsuna
