Chapter 3

A silhouette of a person could be seen from the thick fog.
"Who's there!" Rei called angrily at the intruder.
"Where is Usagi-hime?" the figure called back.
Usagi clenched Mamoru closer, afraid to answer. He grabbed her in a protecting
gesture, he would die before anyone would hurt his Usagi. Minako looked at the
two, also willing to protect her princess.
"What do you need her for?" Minako shouted. Everyone got ready to transform
into their all too familiar sailor outfits.
"Need her, Need!" ChibiChibi added.
"She is the one who can save the moon," the figure called back again, not
intimidated by the Rei and Minako's threatening tone of voice.
"Save the moon?" Chibiusa asked.
"Hai, Chibiusa-chan."
Chibiusa was shocked by the sudden use of her name.
"H-how did you know my...." she started but was soon interrupted.
"Because, I am your aunt, or at least future aunt," the figure came out from the fog
into view. It was a girl about Usagi's age, but a little taller. Her long golden yellow
hair blew around her mysteriously. Her deep blue eyes looked at each person who
stood before her. She wore a sailor outfit like Usagi's eternal one. Only instead she
had more fairy-type wings and her skirt was blue, gold, and silver. Twin purple
ribbons blew like her hair from behind her, connected to a purple bow.
"W-who are you?" Usagi asked stepping away from Mamoru and closer to the
strange sailor solider. She smiled.
"My name Samaru, I'm your sister, Usagi." Everyone gasped.
"Sister?" Usagi asked running it all through head.
"Hai. I am but one year older than you, but since I was born with an enormous
power I was, instead of being destined to be a princess like you, my rule in life was
to protect the moon,"
The rest of the group was speechless. No one ever thought Usagi had a sister, did
Luna know about it? This was all too sudden. She must be lying Setsuna told
herself. Spending almost all her life as the guardian of time, she never heard nor
seen this girl claiming to be Usagi-hime's sister.
"What proof do you have to say you are who you claim?" Setsuna grabbed her
transforming key, in the case that a fight broke out.
"Proof. I knew you were going to ask that question," she held her hand out and a
long purple staff appeared. On the top a gold star with a heart in the middle. She
waved her hand in front of the heart, and closing her eyes she whispered a chant to
herself. She opened her eyes abruptly as a picture of the solar system engulfed them.
Taken by the action Chibiusa ran to the safety of Mamoru and Usagi. Usagi patted
her gently on the head. The picture centered then on the moon and the moon
kingdom.
"This is the way things were, before we were all transferred to Earth," Samaru
explained. At that moment a small girl about three stood in front of the King and
Queen of the moon kingdom.
"Are you ready for your training Samaru?" they asked.
"Hai! I am ready," the young Samaru replied, summoning the same staff she held
now.
"I was trained at very young age to become the gardian of the moon," she
continued.
"Chibi-Chibi!" ChibiChibi cried as she tugged on Usagi's hair.
"Oi! ChibiChibi! Stop that!" Usagi picked ChibiChibi up and held her so that she
couldn't reach Usagi's hair.
"Gomen Nasai, please continue," Usagi blushed with embarrassment. Samaru
smiled.
"As grew older my skills improved and where mastered. I was hardly seen with
my younger sister Usagi, who was destined to become princess of the moon. Witch
I didn't mind much, it kept her out danger," images of Samaru's older years were
shown. She had fought off numerous enemies that threaten the moon kingdom.
Defeating each and everyone of them. Than a man appeared his face blocked by a
black cloud, but even that couldn't' hide the fact that he was handsome.
"This was my love, his name is to be kept a secret. Even though it was forbidden,
we swore that we would one day be married," Samsaru paused, remembering false
promises.
"But he fond someone else, and left me for her," she admitted. Usagi looked at her
sister with pity. I feel so bad she thought to herself. Feeling lucky to have someone
like Mamoru who would never leave her for anyone.
"When chaos broke out on the moon, you were all sent to Earth. While I remained
on the moon to forever protect it from future attacks," the picture faded into fog as
they saw Queen Serenity, send off her daughter and the rest of the sailor senshi to
Earth. Seeing as though Seiya, Yaten, and Takia didn't know about all of this, they
were pretty confused. Minako was trying to explain everything so that they didn't
get lost.
"So if your the guardian of the moon, why are you down here?" Seiya asked after
making sure he had the story right.
"Because, there is a new enemy that I alone can not defeat. I came to ask for the
help of the other senshi."
"You can't defeat them? From the way you talk I thought you could beat anyone,"
Rei.
"He is extremely strong, king of the demon lords. King Hellfire. Please come with
me to help fight him, the fait of the moon depends of us," Samaru looked into
Usagi's pleadingly.
"Of course we'll help!" Usagi agreed enthusiastically.
"Help! Help!" ChibiChibi cried.
"Matte! Usagi-chan," Ami walked over to Usagi and whispered in her ear.
"Usagi, we can't just trust someone like this, what if its a trap?" Ami warned.
"N-Nani? But she is my sister," she said looking at Samaru out of the corner of her
eye. She and Mamoru were discussing something.
"Still, we have to still be cautions, just in case ok?"
"Demo, Ami-chan..."
"Promise me you wont do or believe EVERYTHING she says until we know
more. It is ok to be nice, but not too nice got it?" Ami waited for Usagi's reply.
"Well?"
"Ok..." she said reluctantly. A frown formed on her face. Demo, she is my sister.
Why of all people can't trust her. Ami noticed the sad look on her face as she was
about to head back to the rest. She came over and patted her on the back.
"I'm sure there isn't anything to worry about, Usagi-chan. But we still have to be
careful, so we aren't tricked into a trap. Do you understand?"
"I guess so," she felt better now. Yeah there isn't anything wrong with being
cautions she thought, even if it is to my sister.
Usagi made her way over to where Mamoru and Samaru were talking. Samaru
noticed her approach and welcomed her warmly.
"Ah, Usagi! I'm not just here to ask for your help. Demo, my dear little sister, I
have missed you so much. I would have come to visit sooner, but I couldn't leave
the moon unprotected," Samaru gave her a big loving hug, and Usagi gave her one
intern.
"We will help you," Usagi told her as they let go.
"Arigato!" Samaru thanked her.
"Hn, I don't like where this is going," Hukaru predicted.
"Me neither," Michuru's usual happy expression was now serious.
Hotaru and Setsuna nodded in agreement.
"Does this mean we aren't going to join them?" Hotaru watched Chibiusa
introduce herself to her new fond Aunt.
"No, we have to go to protect the princesses," Setsuna explained.
"Right, but we have to keep a close eye on that Samaru girl," Michuru informed.
"We must hurry to the moon, there isn't time to lose," Samaru urged them, after
she had been introduced to all the inner senshi, and the starlights. The outer senshi,
on the other hand, didn't want to have anything to do with the new comer. For the
time being anyway. They just eyed her closely, not yet willing to trust her fully.
Even if their own princess seemed to.
