Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, She belongs to Naoko Takeuchi. I own the characters of Jayden, Celeste, Phoebe, Selene, Jasper, and Opal.

It was quiet in the city of Tokyo. Everyone was asleep, so no one saw the sinister castle floating above the city. Inside, the occupants were not asleep, but plotting to finish what others before them had started.

"It's peaceful, everyone is asleep and dreaming," replied a young woman currently looking out of a large circular window at the city. She was dressed in a red and black dress that fell off of her shoulders. It was form fitting as it hugged her narrow waist, then flared out near the bottom of the dress. "It's sickening."

"Relax my love, all of that will change soon," a young man dressed in a black military uniform reassured her. The uniform was very similar to the one Prince Darien wore during the Silver Millenium. He walked up to the woman and caressed her long star adorned black hair.

"Explain to me how other warriors failed to defeat these so called Sailor Scouts," she asked, turning her deadly blue gaze upon him.

"Those generals were incompetent fools. They toyed with the scouts and that got them killed."

"Well I suggest that we start planning for the first attack and catch the people and the scouts off guard."

"That is a wonderful idea my love." He turned away from the window to look at the couple that stood behind him. "I want you to launch an attack at noon."

"It will be our pleasure Your Majesty." Bowed a man. His hair was long and mottled with red, brown and yellow. "What would you have us do if we run into the sailor brats?"

"Get out of there. Do not fight them. It is what caused Queen Beryl to loose," the young woman ordered. "If you engage them, then you will loose most of the energy that you have collected."

"Understood Princess." With that, the man turned, then disappeared, along with the woman that was with him.

"I hope that Jasper and Opal will be OK out there. We don't need them to get bold and try to destroy the brats," the woman sigh and looked back out the window at the sleeping city.
