The enemy revealed?

Planet sat on her throne, drinking blood red wine from a golden goblet. She tapped her chin with her long black nails, her eyes a pleasant blue, contemplating the vibrant planet before her. Suddenly, before her throne a swirl of mist formed, and it burst revealing Controllerwind. She bowed deeply, her translucent eyes seemed afraid. She opened her palm, and a ball of energy formed above it. "Here, my majesty." Her hand shook slightly as she bowed lower. Planet turned and smiled evilly, "Arigatou wind-san."

Planet closed her eyes, and raised her arms. The glowing sphere of energy floated to Planet, and suddenly burst, scattering bits of light which seemed to be sucked into Planet's body, as if by a vacuum. Her hair flared up, and seemed to glow. She opened her eyes, which glowed bright red, and lowered her arms. "Good." She sighed, her hair settling, "My plan is underway. Were the powers destroyed?" she asked pleasantly, her eyes shifting to a dark green. Wind swallowed, her throat visible, and bowed lower. "Iie. They did not appear. But they will undoubtedly appear next time." Wind said nervously, her nose practically touching the floor, she bowed so low. "NANI!" Planet roared, a multicolored aura started to glow around her, her eyes flared to a glowing red, "They must be destroyed! Immediately!" she yelled. "Hai." wind said afraid, her voice trembling, she disappeared in a cloud of mist.....

Yuchino Karei stroked her horse gently, "Oh Demetria, I feel empty somehow. Especially lately, like I'm not whole." She sighed. Demetria knickered and butted Karei with her pink nose.

"Karei! Come on!" a voice yelled, "All right!" she yelled back. She rubbed Demetria's silky white coat one last time and walked out of the stall, inhaling deeply of the fresh chips and warm horsy smell, which enveloped her like a blanket of joy. She looked longily back at Demetria, and shut the stall door.

She brushed her hair out of her eyes and stopped in the bathroom on the way out. She glanced in the mirror and brushed her hair out. She saw the same face she had seen her whole life, lily pale with long hunter green hair framing it, bangs parted just above her eyes, and happy green eyes smiled back. She brushed her hair one more time and walked out, "Coming Melody!" she yelled. She picked up her riding boots by the door and ran out. "Gomen." she said as she slid into the car, Melody gave her a Look and started the car,

"Must you always speak Japanese? You know I don't understand a word of it!" she grinned, pushing her brown hair back from her sparking brown eyes.

"Sorry!" Karei laughed, rolling her eyes. Melody laughed, and play socked her in the arm. The two talked nonstop as Melody quickly speeded down the Interstate to Melody's aunt's house.

"See you tomorrow!" Karei yelled as she jumped out, slamming the door.

"Bye!" Melody called as she peeled off. Karei laughed as she walked up the walkway, with blooming flowers on both sides, to her aunt's white clapboard house. With a brick chimney framing the smiling house.

"Aunt Aya! Tadaima!" Karei yelled as she opened the door, setting her boots in the closet, and hanging her coat up.

"Marimasu!" a woman's voice yelled back. A moment later a thin woman with shoulder length black hair bustled in from the kitchen, and stood on tip toes to kiss Karei's cheek. "You get taller everyday!" she said fondly. Karei smiled and kissed her back and started up the stairs.

"Karei-chan?" her aunt asked, sounding apprehensive.

"Nani?" Karei asked pausing on the stairs, turning to look at her aunt.

"Did you go out last night?" Her aunt nervously wringed her hands, clutching them.

"Iie. Doushite?" Karei replied, frowning.

"Sa, when I was cleaning your room this morning I found…..these." she held up a pair of muddy boots and a long red scarf.

"I don't know what those are!" Karei said genuinely confused, her eyebrows knit.

A tall man stood up in Minako's room, next to her fallen form. He seemed shaky and wobbled as he tried to balance, standing on two shaky legs. His eyes widened as he stared. He trembled as he held his hands up in front of his eyes, and looked at his pale hands with long delicate fingers, which looked like they should be on a artist.

Below him, Minako slowly opened her eyes, blinked and looked up at him in a mixture of shock and fear, "Who?" she started. A pale man stood before her, he had extremely long silvery white hair. He turned and stared down at her in shock. Minako gasped, he had piercing dark blue eyes that were filled with amazement. He was wearing a strange silver uniform and a long necklace with two conjoining crescent moons on it. Minako stared at him and her eyes widened when she saw the softly glowing crescent moon on his forehead,

"Artemis?" she whispered. She got to her feet slowly and looked *up* at him.

He stared at her and opened his mouth, "Is this real?" he whispered, shocked at seeing HIS Minako from above her.

Minako's eyes widened when she heard the long familiar voice come from the man's mouth, "It is you!" she shrieked, she hugged him fiercely and he just stood there. "What's wrong?" she smiled.

"Is this real?" he repeated, seeming unable to move a muscle, except for a fine trembling which had over come his body.

Minako laughed gaily, and reached over and pinched his arm.

"Itai!" Artemis said, "Why did you do that?" he asked, rubbing his injured arm.

"It is real!" she cried, she held her arms up.

Artemis's eyes filled with tears, he picked her up and spun her around laughing, "I'm human!" he cried with joy.....

Controllercat appeared again in the sky, she looked upset about something, she had a flashback of wind yelling at her to collect more energy, and warning her that she had better not come back without killing at least one of the powers. She frowned, and clapped her hands together hard, and energy immediately crackled around her, she concentrated and rings of telepathic energy rippled out from her.

Luna and Usagi sat together on Usagi's bed, talking animatedly and discussing their many plans, Luna suddenly doubled over and clutched her head, her crescent moon flared on her forehead.

"Daijoubu?" Usagi asked alarmed, touching Luna's back.

"I just felt the same energy as when I tried to hurt you before!" Luna gasped, straightening. She struggled up and walked to the window.

"Look!" she gasped, outside cats were wrapped around people and people were rapidly dropping. "Usagi-chan! Hayaku! Henshin yo!" Luna cried.

Usagi nodded and grasped her brooch, "Hai! Moon Eternal, make up!" she cried, thrusting her brooch into the air. Feathers began to blow around the room and Eternal Sailormoon stood, posing. "Go! I'll call the other senshi!" Luna encouraged. Sailormoon nodded, and jumped out the window. Luna ran out of the room, and down the stairs. She flipped open her watch as she ran, "Senshi! There is a new enemy, come quickly, we're at Usagi's house!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Eternal Sailormoon ran quickly to the scene, dodging cats running at her, and stopped underneath Controllercat who was floating in the air, energy gathering in her palm.

"You!" Sailormoon yelled.

"Hai?" cat asked arrogantly, sneering as she looked down at Sailormoon.

"I will not allow you to hurt people using their beloved pets! I am the pretty sailor-suited soldier, Sailormoon! In the name of the moon, I will punish you!" Sailormoon cried, posing with her tier.

"Wanna bet?" cat sneered. "Cats! Attack her!" she cried, she pointed a hand and rings of energy flowed from her. The cats in the vicinity started to grow larger until they were human sized, they all hissed and started to run towards Sailormoon. She cried out and darted out of the way, a cat slashed at her wings and one of them ripped. "Luna!" she cried, as the monster crouched over her, a paw raised claws glistening in the sun.

"Stop right there!" a voice yelled. "We are the pretty sailor suited soldiers, the Sailor senshi!" the voice yelled. "Sailormars!" Super Sailormars posed.

"Sailormercury!"

"Sailorjupiter!"

"Sailorvenus!"

The inner senshi posed together, and then ran towards Sailormoon.

"Mars Flame Sniper!" Sailormars yelled, directly hitting the cat over Sailormoon, sending it flying. She quickly ran to Sailormoon and helped her up.

"Shabon Spray!" Sailormercury yelled. The white mist filled the area and the cats stopped in confusion.

"Sailormoon! Heal them!" Luna yelled.

"Hai! Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!" she yelled. Beams of light came out and hit the cats. They started to slowly shrink, their eyes cleared, and they shook their heads and meowed.

Controllercat hissed and her nails lengthened into razor sharp claws. She dove at Sailormoon, when all of the sudden a rose flashed in front of her and cut her face, she snarled and stopped in confusion, clutching her bleeding cheek

"We will not allow you to control cats against their will!" Tuxedo Kamen yelled. "Senshi, do your thing!" he yelled.

"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"

"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Sailorvenus and jupiter yelled in unison, their attacks raged towards cat and struck her unprepared, weakening her further.

"Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!" Sailormoon yelled again, the beams of light hit the wounded cat and she screamed as she disintegrated.

"Hai!" Sailormoon yelled, making a fist and smiling at the others......

Luna and Artemis walked up to each other slowly and just stared at each other. "Luna..." Artemis whispered, raising a hand, undecided. Luna smiled and gently took his hand, she held it up, kissed it and put it next to her cheek. They just stared at each other for a moment, when he suddenly grabbed her around her small waist and hugged her fiercely, "Ai shiteru..." he whispered. Luna's eyes widened, and she kissed him reverently. A gentle light surrounded them, and they slowly morphed back into cats....

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Later Usagi, Mamoru and the four inners met at Hikawa Jinja with their suitcases. Mamoru was loaded down with about 50 suitcases, and he dropped them not so reverently, sighing heavily at Usagi. She grinned at him and socked him in the arm, then set Luna down who had been sitting on her shoulder.

"So are you still able to turn to human?" Usagi asked her worriedly.

Luna grinned. She concentrated and suddenly started to meld upwards and she stood there, shrugging her shoulders out. "Hai." she smiled, her crescent moon glowed for a moment and then faded slowly. "I wanted to thank you Usagi, without you this wouldn't be possible!" Luna said with feeling. She stepped up and hugged Usagi fiercely, "I've wanted to do that for so long!" she whispered in Usagi's ears. Tears filled Usagi's eyes as she hugged Luna back. Luna walked around and hugged all of them. She laughed and wiped away tears, "Gomen."

Makoto smiled and said, "Are Michiru and Haruka coming?", looking at her watch

"Hai!" 2 voices said. Michiru and Haruka walked in and smiling, and Haruka set down their bags.

"I think it will be fun!" Michiru said softly, brushing her aquamarine hair off her shoulder. "I'll get to see some nice recital halls and music stores while there."

"I'd like to see some Nascar stores while we're there!" Haruka said grinning, her blue eyes sparking.

"Sa, Ikimashou!" Luna said holding Artemis's hand. Michiru and Haruka looked at her strangely,

"Who are you?" Michiru asked, looking her up and down appraisingly. Luna smiled at them, she winked at Artemis. She knit her eyebrows for a moment and her moon started to re-appear and glow. They both gasped, after a long pause, "Luna? Artemis?" they said in shock.

"Hai!" Luna and Artemis replied smiling. Their moons faded again.

"Sugoi!" Haruka said, looking at Luna with new eyes.

"Amazing!" Michiru breathed, as she studied them. "How?"

"I'll explain on the way there." Luna smiled, taking Michiru's arm.

About a hour later the senshi, Mamoru, Luna and Artemis waved goodbye to Hotaru and Setsuna as they boarded their plane to Louisville, Kentucky......
