"Why do you all insist on saying that as if you can predict the future?" Mina asked Exasperated.

"Oh we forgot to mention. While you have access to Sailor Pluto through the time gate connected to your universe, we also have access to her. We too are Sailor Scouts. The difference, we're dead and the information she won't tell you because she doesn't want you to use it to remain living, doesn't apply to us." Sailor Dark Mercury said.

"So she works for you? Ok question. Are you good or bad?" Lita asked, slightly confused. This was already a lot of information for some one to take in and now the plot twists and thickens.

"Actually, we are both. If we weren't looking for help from Sailor Moon, we would be fighting the forces of good." Sailor Dark Jupiter answered. "But seeing as how we have a common ally in Sailor Pluto, we are fighting for the same things now."

"And if we choose to not help you, what will happen?" Mina asked.

"Well, as Selena said, assassins, who are as we speak searching the galaxy for you, not to mention the timeline, from the Dark World Senate, a corrupted portion of the United Government Alliance of Evil who are currently in charge of the Dark World, will come and kill Serena. They will then force her to rule in the Dark World and if she refused they would most likely torture any of you." Sailor Dark Mars said with little emotion. These last statements caused Serena to feel as if she had gotten everyone into a situation she had hoped they wouldn't be placed in.

"It's not as bad as it sounds." Darius offered.

"How can you say that?" Serena yelled trying to keep her voice free from any high pitches. "Not only is my life in danger but the lives of my friends and those that I hold dear are in jeopardy of being tortured for all eternity if I refuse to rule some World I have never heard of! Not to mention I have to help you the forces of evil, which goes against all the ethics and morals I have, because you are to weak to take out some ugly monsters!" Serena finished with a gasp. She hadn't meant to say that.

"Is that what you think?" Selena asked, looking at each of the good Sailor scouts. "You think we are too weak to fight off these monsters? We have been training for one thousand years. And not for the sake of training. But for the sake of survival. We are a hundred times stronger than any one on your team. And that you would even think that it was you who are the stronger counterpart is just beyond me!

"You already know that each scout has a Sailor Crystal, yours being the most powerful of them all. But you are performing at a very low optimum power of your crystals because pieces of them are missing. We are your missing pieces! You could be much greater if you had the crystals that we have. The only reason we need you now is to join the pieces back together and blast these evil crackers out of here. We didn't suffer for a thousand years just to let you, some one who wouldn't survive a minute on our world, rule over us. Now you will help us or you will die. At our hands or the assassin. And not only will they kill you, they will enslave your people and turn this planet into a mirror image of the Dark World." Selena finished with a scowl. The naïve-ness of Serena showing through.

"The Sailor Crystals were not meant to be in the hands of evil. They were meant to protect peace and love and ensure safety for all. Using them like you have been is showing that you are not true sailor scouts. You are just another enemy that we need to heal and set your souls free." Serena said pulling out her brooch. Just as she was about to transform, some one spoke.

"Serena, I thought at least you would understand. The universe is in jeopardy if you do not merge with these scouts and defend justice. Even if it is in the form of evil, there is still justice that needs to be served. Their souls can never be free until they are joined with you and you are killed. It would be an empty task to kill the dead in hopes of healing their souls. Serena, don't make a mistake you know you will regret. When great peril comes to the earth, will you destroy the only chance of saving it?" Sailor Pluto asked as she jumped off from a crystal landing in front of Serena with a click that rang out throughout the taverns.

"Trista, I don't know if I can trust them." Serena said tears rolling down her cheeks. "I don't know if I can trust them with the lives of my friends, and Darien and everyone else on this planet."

"I'm not asking you to trust them. That will come in time of course. I'm asking you to join them, and destroy this evil that threatens the balance of the time line. And the balance of life. It would be wise to include all the power you can. Rini, Michelle, Hotaru, and Amora. I will not be joining you. I must protect the time gate from the Assassins." Sailor Jupiter said enveloping Serena in a hug. The petit girls body shaking violently from her crying.

"What about the others? I can't let them march to their deaths." Serena said between sobs.

"Do you not listen? You are not going alone. The Dark Sailor Scouts may have worked for evil, and they may work for them in the future, but they are the most powerful Sailor scouts in the Universe. They will let no harm come to the one person that will grant them their world. And keeping you happy and well involves keeping your friends safe." Sailor Pluto said looking Serena in the eyes. She wiped away her tears with her gloved thumb. "Serena, if you will not trust them, trust me?"

"I would trust you with my life, Trista." Serena said throwing her arms around her dearest friend.

"Then take this." Sailor Pluto said handing Serena a key to the time gate. "Only you and Rini will have one. You may only use it in case of an emergency. At the time you use it the world you left will stand still until you return to it. You will know the words when the time comes. Good luck, my fairest Princess." Sailor Pluto said. Serena finally noticed that no one had moved since Sailor Pluto's arrival. She must have used the Staff of Time to stop time. Serena smiled as she watched her friend leave. As if some one pushed the play button, everyone came back to life once more.

"Selena, Sailor Dark Moon, future queen of the Dark World, Shay, Sailor Dark Mars, Emi, Sailor Dark Mercury, Mika, Sailor Dark Venus, LeAnne Sailor Dark Jupiter, and Darius, Tuxedo Dark Knight, the Sailor Scouts that fight for love and justice, Tuxedo Mask, Mini-moon, Sailor Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn and myself, will join you and we will defeat this evil Alliance and let justice rule!" Serena said with such passion. There was no longer a choice. This had to be done!
