Serena, Mina, Lita, Raye, Amy, Darien, Rini, Luna, and Artemis all sat around the table at Cherry Hill Temple.
"What do you think she took?" Rini asked.
"I don't know…" Mina said, her voice low and sad. "The girl looked so…empty…" A tear fell from her eye. "We didn't succeed in protecting her, we failed…"
Lita hugged her friend, trying to comfort her. "It's alright Mina, we're strong, we can beat whoever this is. Together we can defeat anything"
Serena sat quietly, thinking about the day before. 'What did the new enemy take? And why do they want it? And that evil girl, there's something faintly familiar about her…'
"Serena?" Darien asked. "What's wrong? You've been awfully quiet"
"Hey, lets enjoy the peace" Raye said jokingly.
Serena looked up "That girl…hey Mina? Did you feel anything familiar about her?"
"Actually, yes, but I don't know what." She said.
Darien raised an eyebrow. "Familiar how?" he asked.
"I don't know..." Serena said.
Luna was listening to the conversation carefully when she caught a movement out of the corner of her eyes. She looked to the side. Nothing. 'hmmm…' She walked to where she saw whatever it was move.
"Luna?" Artemis asked, seeing his partner walk to the door in the back of the room, leading outside.
"Did you see anything out here Artemis?" Luna asked.
"No, did you?"
"Yea, I saw something move" she said. "But it's gone now."
"Maybe it was the wind blowing something" Artemis suggested.
"No, I saw a pair of eyes. And besides, there's no wind" Luna said, still looking around.
"Luna? Artemis?" Raye called, noticing the two cats had wandered to the door. "Is something wrong?"
"Luna saw something move, but it's gone now." Artemis said.
The two cats walked back to the table and they continued their conversation.
"So, what happened to the victim?" Amy asked.
"We took her to the hospital and told the doctors we found her in the park like that." Darien said.
"Did they ask any questions?" Lita asked.
"No, thank goodness" Serena said.
"Good, we can't have anyone getting suspicious. Especially when we have other things to worry about, like finding as much information on this new enemy as we can" Luna said.

Serena wanted to put her mind off the new enemy for a little while, so she decided to pay Marissa a little visit, since she was one of the few close friends that wasn't a Senshi. She walked up to her house, trying her best to look happy. She knocked on the door lightly.
A woman with short brown hair and dark blue eyes opened the door. "Hello" she said. "Can I help you?"
"Hi," Serena said as cheerfully as she could, "Is Marissa here?" she asked politely.
"Yes, she up in her room. Come on in" The woman said as she opened the door wider. "Her room is upstairs, first door on your left."
"Thank you Mrs. Aiku" Serena said and walked up the steps. She opened the door Mrs. Aiku had directed her slightly. There she saw Marissa, on her bed, tears streaming down her face. The happiness that usually shone in her bright eyes was gone and replaced by sorrowful look.
Serena walked in and rushed to the side of Marissa's bed. "What's wrong??"
Marissa snapped her head up, surprised to see Serena, who had a worry look. "Its nothing.." he said, her voice low.
"Come on, you can tell me," Serena said. She gave Marissa a comforting hug. "Maybe I can help you."
"Sorry, I can't tell you…" Marissa said. "Thanks anyway though." She gave Serena a smile, but it wasn't as bright as usual.
Serena spent the rest of the day, and managed to cheer Marissa up. The next day at school, Marissa was back to her normal self. Serena thought whatever had been bothering her had maybe gone away…but was she just hiding it?

Sailor Moon struggled to get up after the powerful blow she had taken Tara. This time she had attacked a teenage boy. "You know, you're really starting to get on my nerves…" Tara said in annoyance.
"And you're starting to get on ours!" Sailor Moon looked up to see the 4 other scouts and Tuxedo Mask on top of a nearby building.
"Not more of them…" Tara said. She gripped the crystal that held the light from the teenager tighter.
"Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Jupiter shouted and shot the powerful ball of lightning at Tara.
She dodged quickly as she shot black energy back at Jupiter, which hit its target.
"Sailor Jupiter!" Mars yelled and ran to her side. "That's it you little witch! Mars Fire Surround!" Mars yelled as she shot powerful rings of fire at Tara. They hit, but they didn't seem to have much effect.
"Iv'e just about had it with you little annoying brats!" Tara yelled. She shot ice at them all, freezing them solid. "That should shut them up" She started to open a portal when she saw a familiar figure in the shadow of an alley…
