The Silent Soldier
In the next moment three other portals opened up, this time spilling out Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, and Hotaru then Makoto then Ami, Minako, and Artemis.
"Ow!" Minako groaned, rubbing her backside
The four outer Senshi of the past stood facing the Senshi of the future, the great wisdom and maturity that always surrounded them holding true.
As Ami, Minako, and Makoto got to their feet in the background, Haruka asked.
"Who are you?"
Sailor moon stepped forward and when she did she de-transformed. The movement was so elegant it was if her costume had been made of a mist that dispersed when she moved away from it.
"I am Annika, ruler of the final moon kingdom."
Sailor Venus stepped forward and the same action happened.
"I am Priire, defender of the final moon kingdom."
Sailor Jupiter did the same.
"I am Aoi, defender of the final moon kingdom."
As did Sailor Mars.
"I am Suta, defender of the final moon kingdom."
And Sailor Mercury
"I am Shuu, defender of the final moon kingdom."
Then Sailor Pluto stepped forward.
"I am Kipa, defender of the final moon kingdom."
Sailor Uranus followed.
"I am Mizu, defender of the final moon kingdom."
Sailor Neptune came after her.
"I am Lum, defender of the final moon kingdom."
And lastly, Sailor Saturn de-transformed.
"I am Hana, defender of the final moon kingdom."
Everyone was silent a moment, then Annika spoke.
"Usagi, Setsuna, Minako, Haruka, Ami, Michiru, Rei, Hotaru, Makoto, Mamoru and guardian cats Luna and Artemis." She began, opening her hands to acknowledge them all. "We have traveled far, across the barriers of time, to seek your help."
"What?" Usagi asked, still trying to grasp what was going on. "What are you talking about?"
"Yes." Setsuna began "And what do you mean by 'the final moon kingdom."
Shuu sighed. "I was afraid we'd have much explaining to do. But I suppose it is best that we prepare you."
"Prepare us? Prepare us for what?" Ami asked
"For the future." Mizu stated.
Suta explained.
"We come from the future. Billions of years into the future to be exact, where the Andromeda Galaxy has collided with the Milky Way Galaxy."
"You mean, life exists…even billions of years from now?" Ami asked
Suta nodded her head, then Aoi continued.
"I wouldn't really call it life though. You see, when the two Galaxies collided, the Skangees, an evil race of beings from a planet of the same name, became determined to either take over or destroy our world." She sighed, then added, "Not even Eternal Moonlight power, the greatest in our time, could defeat them."
"So, what happened?" Makoto asked.
"The planet Earth was destroyed, and many of the inhabitants made slaves. Others were killed and others escaped. Those that escaped formed a band called 'Destiny', which we are a part of, who have vowed to free all those enslaved by the Skangees and bring peace."
After a moment's pause, Michiru said what everyone was thinking.
"But, why do you need us?"
"The Silent Soldier…" Annika said solemnly.
Artemis, Luna, and the outer Senshi all gasped at these three simple words.
"What? What's the silent soldier?" Usagi asked, looking between them all. "Come on! Tell me!"
Luna shook her head, then told them about the Silent Soldier.
"Many years ago, long before you all were born, there was a Sailor Senshi known as Sailor Oblivion. Hers was a great and terrible power, the power to erase people and things, to make them as if they never existed. In that time, Sailor Oblivion was good and a sworn and truthful protector, perhaps the greatest known, but…"
"But what?" Mamoru asked
"It was prophesized that Sailor Oblivion would be reborn in the future, but this time as an evil being who would erase the Senshi and change the universe into a place reigned by evil." Lum finished.
"They are right." Hana began, "And it was also prophesized that only the combined powers of the Senshi of the first kingdom and the Senshi of last kingdom could defeat Sailor Oblivion, the Silent Soldier, and save our worlds."
"Please." Annika said, with pleading eyes, "Please say you'll come…for the sake of the universe."
All the Senshi of the past, the Senshi of the first kingdom, all looked to each other for guidance. It was with a single nod from them all that Usagi spoke with determination in her voice.
"You can count on us! No way we're going to let our world perish!"
Kipa smiled, saying, "We are all very gladdened by your decision, Senshi of the past. Now, it is time to go."
All the Senshi of the future joined hands, and bade the Senshi of the past do the same.
"Now, together, shout 'Galactic Teleport!'" Annika said.
"Galactic Teleport!" They all shouted.
When they did, the sky opened up as it had before, revealing the night sky. All the girls and Mamoru and Artemis turned into balls of light that shot up into the portal. The portal closed when they were through.
