Usagi's P.O.V.
^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*^~
Usagi's apartment, 5:00 p.m.
"Okay people, how's your training going?"
"Michiru, Rei, and Minako seem to be exceeding everyone else's
progression, but everyone else are going along just fine too."
"Good. You have another hour and a half to train. I want
you back at the apartment at 6:30 p.m. *sharp*."
"Whoa, what's got *your* panties in a bunch?"
"Shut up, Jed. Just do it."
"Ai ai, captain."
"..."
"Alright, alright, I'm sorry."
"Sailormoon, outtie."
This was not good. Tryphaena had upped her forces
in triplicate, and we have 9 Senshi who are barely intact with their
new powers. We can't keep having these attacks, it's stupid to
let her play with us this way.

Makoto's P.O.V.
^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*^~
"Was that Usa-chan?"
"Hai. Okay, you heard her. She's stressed, that much is
obvious. It's the whole fact that it's Tryphaena that's attacking.
It's getting to her. Alright, we have an hour and a half to train."
"Jed, did she say anything about the plan of attack?"
Sailor Phoenix shoots a worried look to Jadeite.
"No, not yet."
"Alright, Jupiter and Neptune, you two team up. Fight to
the max, but not to the point of death, okay? And this is basically
hand to hand combat. We'll put further work into your telekinetic
and crystal powers later."
"Next pair, Mars and Jadeite, Uranus and Pluto, Mercury
and Nephrite, Venus and Hotaru. Tuxedo Kamen, you're with
me," says Phoenix.
I watch as Tuxedo Kamen stares blankly at the new scout
and follows her. "He's dead." Michiru whispers to me.
"Hai, I agree," I grin.
"Though she seems like she's willing to go easy on him."
"Well, if she doesn't, he deserves it."
"Then again, so do we."
"Hai. I still feel so guilty about what we've done to her,
even if she's forgiven us."
"Hai, hai. Anyway, we've got to train. You heard the
orders of the princess."
"Haha, of course."
We both get into fighting stances. I watch her as she
circles around me. I follow her in order to keep eye contact. She
takes the first move as she takes a swift kick to my head. I duck
and kick out her legs. She lands on her back, but she jumps up
quickly and gracefully. Itie, she just delivered a punch to my gut.
That *hurt*! As if I'm going to let her get me again. I push up
from my position against the wall and fly at her, feet first and land
on her stomach. Kami, she's not down for long! How can that
be? This has got to be part of her crystal's protection.
As the fight continues, it's pretty equal. Then she lays a kick
to my head. I close my eyes, expecting to feel the blow, but instead,
something's brewing inside me, and I feel warm and powerful. I open my
eyes to see...I'M FLOATING FIVE FEET OFF THE GROUND?!?
"How did you do that?"
"I...I don't know! How do I get down?"
"She's triggered her crystal." We both turn to see Sailor
Phoenix standing there, smiling. "Most of the others have triggered
their crystals as well. Now that you've provoked the crystal, you can
and will call on it much easier. Just concentrate on the ground, and
you'll get back down. Why don't you go train with Nephrite?
I'll help Neptune with her crystal."

Phoenix smiled. "You ready, Neptune?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
"Good, good attitude. Alright, enough talk. Let's get to it."
Phoenix charged at Neptune without warning. Neptune
dodged and prepared to kick, but Phoenix grabbed her leg. Neptune
twisted, but couldn't get it out of Phoenix's viselike hold. In
Neptune's confusion, a warm feeling of strength immersed her
senses. In that perplexion, Neptune's leg started glowing and a
huge blast slammed Phoenix against an invisible wall.
Neptune opened her eyes. "Did I do that?"
Phoenix floated over to her. "Yep, not bad. You can call on
your powers easier now, without needing such frustration, yada yada yada."
"People, it's 6:35, we gotta book it!" Yelled Nephrite.
"Six thirty *five*??? Kami-sama, Usa's gonna kill us!"
"What do you mean, Jed? That Odango is rarely on
time herself."
Jadeite stopped in his tracks and looked at Rei. "Whether
or not you'd like to admit it, Usa has changed. And if I'm forced to
choose between you or her, you know where my loyalty lays."
"Gomen, it's just that I'm so used to-" Rei was cut short
when a beep came from the communicator.
"Jadeite here."
"Where are you guys? I told you, 6:30 *sharp*! I needed
you people here!"
"Gomen, Usa, we're on our way."
"Good, Usa out."
"Gomen, Jed, I really mean it."
"You're forgiven. I never could stay mad at you for long,"
Jaedite detransformed and caused Rei to blush with a boyish wink.

Owen's P.O.V.
^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*^~
"We're back!"
"Kami, do you have to yell like that, Brian?"
"Hai," he grins.
We walk into the main room to see Usa sitting there with a
grim look on her face, biting her nails. Something has got to be wrong,
she rarely gets like this. "Usa?" She looks up.
"Konnichiwa, Owen, Brian. The others will be back soon."
As if on cue, a portal opens up. Out comes Ki-chan, Justin,
Kris, and Nick. Following them are the Senshi. Oh, kami-sama,
Hota is gorgeous. I see a worried look in her eyes...she must be
concerned about Usa-chan too.
I turn around to see a pale Zach and Daniel. "Dajibou ka?"
"Dajibou. Usa?"
"Hai, our plan of attack..."
