Sailor Earth and her companions. If you don't like reading "extra senshi" stories...STOP NOW!

Oh yeah, I don't own Sailor Moon, yada yada yada....BUT ALIA AND THE KNIGHTS ARE MINE!
*********************************************************************************************
"To be honest, I'm not surprised."
All eyes turned to Haruka. Alia grinned. "Explain."
"Well, with the way you three were moping about," the said three blushed and turned to their
love with a sheepish grin, "and the fact that everyone's memories were returning, it was only
a matter of time before the Starlights showed up and everyone was happy again."
"Good logic," Ami said with a grin.
"Welcome back, guys!" Usagi shouted.
"CONFETTI!" Shawn yelled.
Everyone laughed as he imitated throwing confetti in the air.
*********************************************************************************************
{Mamoru & Usagi, park, on bench near lake: noon}
"Are you happy, Mamo-chan?"
"With you, Usako? Always."
Usagi smiled. "I meant are you happy that your memories have returned and that Alia is here?"
Mamoru looked puzzeled. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"You haven't said anything about it. I worry about you."
"You don't have to worry about me, Usako."
"I love you, Mamo-chan, I can't help it." She smiled.
Mamoru leaned close and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. "I love you, Usako."
*********************************************************************************************
{Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, Alia, Usagi, Alex, & Rose: Starlights' place: 3:00pm}
"We can't really get much done at those large meetings," Alex said slightly irriated.
Usagi grinned. Alia exchanged a look of amusement with Seiya. "It's true though," Alia
agreed, "with so many people trying to talk at once, not much gets done."
"So what do you want to do?" Usagi asked.
"We could split everyone up into a category," Taiki interjected.
"What kind of categories were you thinking of?" Yaten asked.
"Haruka, Hotaru, Michiru, and Setsuna in one group. Alia and the Knights in
another. Usagi and the inner senshi in one, and the Starlights make up the final group."
"So how do we go about confering between groups if we don't meet together?" Alia asked.
"How about one from each represent that group at a meeting between the groups. Like Usagi
for the inner senshi, and Alia for the Knights," Rose replied.
"Seiya for our group, and Setsuna for the outer senshi," Taiki finished.
"All of the advisors can attend that meeting as well," Alia added.
"So, we have a minor group meeting before every major meeting and things should run
smoothly," Taiki said matter-o-factly.
Yaten grinned at Taiki's self-important tone. "He's so masterful," he said cheerfully,
causing everyone but Taiki to burst into giggles or all out laughter. Taiki glared at him.
"Some people just can't appreciate a genius," Taiki retorted causing the laughter to get out
of control. Taiki couldn't help but join in.
*********************************************************************************************
{Mamoru, Hotaru, & Setsuna, near Tokyo Tower: 4:00pm}
Setsuna had gone to the Gates of Time for a time after the senshi meeting. She had wanted to
know if the time-line would be clear or not. While she was there, she had been shown
something she had been expecting to happen. So she asked Hotaru and Mamoru to come with her
to Tokyo Tower. Neither knew why.
"Why are we here, Setsuna-mama?" Hotaru asked.
"We are waiting for someone."
"Who?" Mamoru asked puzzled.
Just then, a light shot down out of the sky landing only a few feet away from them. Setsuna
was not surprised but both Hotaru and Mamoru jumped. A small shadow began falling down
through the beam of light. Once it touched the ground, the light faded away and a very
familiar figure stood where it had been.
"Chibi-usa!" Hotaru cried.
"Hotaru! Setsuna! Mamoru!" she cried and ran to them, hugging all three of them. "Diana
came too." she said as the little kitten popped up out of her backpack.
"I'm so glad you're back!" Hotaru told her happily.
"Mama said that I would be useful and would meet some very interesting people and Aunt Alia
said that I get to meet her, too! She said that she was very surprised to meet me and nearly
passed out! I can't wait to see it!"
*********************************************************************************************
{Hotaru & Chibi-usa, Outer's house, Hotaru's room: 6:00pm}
"I wish I was in love..." Chibi-usa sighed. She lay on her stomach, sprawled on Hotaru's
bed. She had been introduced to everyone and had instantly realized the connections between
the Knights and the Senshi. Alia had nearly passed out as predicted, claiming that Chibi-usa
looked just like her mother, except for the hair-style.
Hotaru looked up from the book she was reading to see a dreamy look on Chibi-usa's face. She
smiled. "Me too."
Chibi-usa looked at her friend, "Really?"
Hotaru smiled and nodded. "Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama are very much in love and so happy.
Usagi and Mamoru are in love too."
"So are Alia & Seiya, Minako & Yaten, Ami & Taiki, Rei & Shawn, and Makoto & Ival..."
"You and I are the only ones not in love..." Hotaru finished their linity sadly.
"What about Setsuna?" Chibi-usa asked.
"I think Setsuna-mama was in love a long time ago."
"Who do you think it was? And what happened to him?"
"I don't know."
"Maybe he was reborn like everyone else and she'll meet him again!" Chibi-usa said
enthusastically.
"Yeah!"
*********************************************************************************************
{Setsuna, outside Hotaru's room: same time}
Setsuna smiled at the Hotaru's enthusism. The other senshi hadn't known that Setsuna had
been in love during the Silver Millennium. She had kept it hidden even from the man she had
fallen for. It had only been through chance that he had even found out. The second he had,
he had pursued her. His love for her was a powerful thing, it had broken through the walls
she had put up to keep him out. She had been determined that no one would interfer with her
duties as Sailor Pluto. She thought she had no right to fall in love. Queen Serenity had told
her differently.
{FLASHBACK BEGINS}
"Setsuna, why do you refuse his offer? He loves you."
"Your Majesty, I can let nothing get in the way of my duties. I am responsible for guarding
the Gates of Time."
"Does your duties forbid you from being happy?"
"I-I don't know, Your Majesty."
"They don't. Do you think that you must guard the gates alone?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"You do not."
"Your Majesty?"
"Setsuna, the position of Sailor Pluto is a lonely one, but only until she falls in love. The
one she falls in love with, can marry her and stay with her, help her to guard the Gates of
Time."
"You mean..."
"Yes."
{FLASHBACK ENDS}
Setsuna sighed. The end of the Silver Millennium happened before they were married. He died
defending the Earth. Queen Serenity had been right and wrong. The position of Sailor Pluto
was a lonely one, but it didn't end when she fell in love. The position of Sailor Pluto would
be lonely forever.
*********************************************************************************************
{Alia, Ami, & Taiki, library: 7:00pm}
Alia, Ami, and Taiki sat in the library looking at biology textbooks and genetic research
papers trying to uncover any more information on the plant monsters. Taiki and Ami both
seemed to understand what they were reading, Alia was secretly doodling. She had given up
trying to understand the paper in front of her. She looked up and noticed some very
beautiful African violets. They were a beautiful silvery color. She had never seen ones
with that color. Suddenly they pulsed and began to grow. Alia gasped and stood abruptly.
Taiki and Ami looked up into her shocked face and then followed her gaze to the plant. Ami
ducked behind a bookcase and quietly transformed. Alia and Taiki shouted for everyone to
clear the library. Ami pulled out her computer and began analyzing the growing plant. People
ran from the library, the second the coast was clear, Alia and Taiki transformed.
Their transformations ended in time to see a young American man emurge from one of the
study rooms. He appeared deep in thought and had either ignored the shouts to evacuate or
simply hadn't heard them. He walked right in front of the plant monster without even
noticing it. It finished its transformation and grabbed him before he was out of reach.
"Yipes!"
"Give me your Spirit Stone!"
"What?!"
Before the monster could release its energy to free the Spirit Stone, Taiki intervined. "Star
Gentle Uterus!" The attack blasted off the tenticle that held the man and knocked him over
to Alia.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Mercury's attack hit it dead on, stunning it.
The man had fallen at Alia's feet. Alia looked down at him. He had waist length white hair
that he hadn't bothered to tie back. Pale skin and light grey clothing almost made him seem like
a ghost. He looked up and their eyes met. Sky-blue eyes clashed with blazing green ones, and
Alia cried out in pain. Taiki and Ami turned to see Alia fall to her knees beside the man
clutching her chest.
"Sailor Earth!" Ami yelled and started towards her, only to be blasted back by the energy
emminating from her. White silvery light poured from her chest and a white oak staff began
appearing in front of her. The staff was almost six feet tall but very plain. It was only
a few seconds before it was solid and the light faded. Alia fell forward onto her hands, panting.
The staff lifted and sailed the few feet between her and the man. It rested in front of him.
He started to reach for it, but then stopped. Alia turned to him.
"Touch...it has...chosen...you...must...touch..." She could say no more and collapsed the rest
of the way to the ground, all of her energy spent.
He reached for it, closing his hands around it. White light shot through the room again. When
it faded he stood holding the staff, his height topping it by only a few inches. His grey
clothing was gone. In its place were white slacks and a silver long sleeved shirt. A white
and silver mask covered his upper face. An armband of white and gold covered his left wrist and
a pendant with a crystal stone appeared around his neck.
Taiki and Ami could only stare in awe. It was the most shocking way to discover a partner they
had ever seen. The monster roared and grabbed the unsuspecting senshi. It had remained
stunned only as long as the light had been in the room. It was no longer there.
The man took in the situation. Slowly he placed the bottom of the staff on the floor in
front of him, he closed his eyes. He whispered, "Spirits..." White beams of light began to
surround him. They circled around him, lifting his hair, rustling his clothes. "...of Earth."
The beams left him and craashed into the monster destroying it instantly. Taiki and Ami fell to
the ground, none the worse for wear.
The man walked over to Alia and leaned over her. Her eyes fluttered open and she slowly sat up.
"You...you are the Silver Knight, the chosen of the Staff of Holy Light..." She smiled up at him
and stood. She offered a hand that he readily accepted. "I'm Sailor Earth, my name is Alia."
The man smiled at her as they shook hands. "Mine's James."
