Mysterious Power
The senshi landed in Louisville, Kentucky about an hour after the attack. As they slowly undocked, the people started to talk as they walked off. It seemed that all memory of the attack had been wiped from their minds, to the astonishment of those who knew what really happened. The senshi took their bags and as they walked off, some of the gloom from the battle before faded and soon Usagi was her former excited self. She bounced on her toes as they walked through the airport lobby.
"So where are we staying Luna-chan?" Usagi asked
"The Hilton, I got us all double rooms." Luna said smiling, looking at her itinerary.
Usagi blushed and looked up at Mamoru, "Sa, I guess we will get some private time." she giggled, holding his arm.
"Nice try, Usagi." Luna said dryly, rolling her eyes, "Mamoru and Artemis will be staying in a room together, you're with me." she said firmly. Usagi's, Mamoru's, and Artemis's faces fell.
Luna blushed when she saw the look on Artemis's face, "Gomen minna, I have to be like Usagi's mother on this trip. Sorry if you got your hopes up." she grinned looking at Mamoru. Mamoru turned scarlet and lowered his head.
"Whatever you say Luna." he said meekly.
"Good." she beamed. "Now don't let this ruin our trip, you two will still have time alone!" Luna smiled.
"Now, here's the van I rented for our trip, Haruka, do you want to drive?" Luna said as they walked up to a new Sienna van parked in the airport parking lot.
"Hai!" Haruka said eagerly, her eyes turning into stars.
"Now, now. This isn't a racetrack, the driving rules are different here than in Tokyo." Luna admonished when she saw the look on Haruka's face.
"Awww." Haruka grinned jokingly. They all piled into the van and with Haruka driving moderately, they headed towards their hotel. The senshi were all in awe as they walked into the plush american hotel. Luna had rented a whole floor at the top, so they it all to themselves. "Ne minna! Let's go swimming!" Rei exclaimed looking down from the top floor window, at the Olympic size swimming pool the hotel had far below. "Hai!" Michiru and Ami said in unison. They smiled and looked at each other, "How about another race?" Michiru asked Ami, smiling gently, "Sure!" Ami replied.

They all headed to their rooms to change into their bathing suits. Ami and Makoto went to a room together, Minako and Rei to another, Luna and Usagi walked into their room, Haruka and Michiru went to theirs, and Artemis and Mamoru dragged their feet to another.
As Luna and Usagi were changing, Luna smiled at Usagi's bathing suit,
"You sure have changed from bathing suits with bows on them!" she grinned as she looked at Usagi's mature light pink bikini.
"Well, it has one bow!" Usagi grinned, pointing to the light yellow bow at the center of the top.
"How do you like my suit?" Luna asked. She held up a VERY suggestive silver bikini. Usagi's jaw dropped open. "I thought I would be a little daring, I've never been able to wear clothes before you know!" Luna grinned seductively, then she broke into giggles.
"Well." Usagi said, tongue-tied. "Artemis will like it." she said finally, trying to sound cheerful. Luna laughed as she changed into it. When they walked into the hall, everyone was waiting for them. Ami had on a very decorous light blue one piece, and Mako had on a dark green suit with lighter green stripes. Minako had a orange-gold tankini on and Rei had a fire red bikini top, with the same color pair of bikini shorts. Michiru had on a simple black suit, but she looked fabulous in it. Haruka had on a yellow suit, with light blue flowers all over it. Mamoru and Artemis both walked out in their black trunks and both of their jaws dropped at the same time when they saw Usagi and Luna. Haruka's eyes widened as well, but Michiru elbowed her and frowned, and Haruka looked down.
"Well, what are you all staring at?" Luna asked, putting her hand on her hip. She grabbed Artemis's arm and together they all walked down to the pool. When they came to the pool, there were only a few other people, all of the senshi started to swim and splash around playfully. Mamoru and Usagi went to the hot tub together, with Usagi giggling like a maniac.
"Wow, you look great Luna!" Artemis said, eyeing her appreciatively.
"Arigatou." she said blushing. "Let's go to the hot tub too." she said, slipping her hand in his arm. As they walked slowly to the tub, which was surrounded by luscious ferns and trees, so to be hidden from the pool. Luna stopped when she heard voices, "Did you see that suit Luna had on?" it was Usagi's voice, rising over the bubbling sauna.
"How could I not see it." Mamoru's voice said dryly. "What's the matter with her? She's almost acting....loose." he said quietly.
"Don't say that!" Usagi said, they heard splashing, "She's never been human before, can you blame her?" she said.
"Well, I think that she needs to calm it down a little. She's flaunting herself."
"You're right, but you shouldn't judge her." Usagi replied.
"Enough about her. Come here you." he whispered lovingly. There came noises of giggling and splashing. Luna stood there in shock, her lip trembling and she suddenly cried out and ran away from Artemis. The sounds from the hot tub stopped and Mamoru and Usagi suddenly appeared breathlessly,
"Nani?" Usagi started, fixing her bikini. She stopped when she saw Artemis standing there, glaring at Mamoru. She gasped. "Did...Did Luna hear us?" she asked hesitantly.
"What do you think?" Artemis said coldly. He turned and walked away.
"Oh no!" Usagi gasped. She looked up at Mamoru. "What should I do?" she cried.
Mamoru lowered his head with shame. "I'll go talk to Artemis, you should go talk to Luna." he replied.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Controllerplanet-sama?" a voice broke her meditating. She turned from the still compiling hologram. "Nani?" she growled.
"Planet-sama, the senshi have stopped moving for the time being." Controllermatter said, bowing low, his cape sweeping around him.
Planet smiled at him, "Hologram!" she ordered. Another hologram appeared before her. It showed the senshi in the swimming pool. Planet smiled, "Controllerwater!" she snapped. Her blue haired general appeared before her, she showed him the hologram and said, "Can you take care of them?" she asked. "Yes, your majesty." he bowed and disappeared in a splash of water. She looked at matter, "I want you to watch this carefully, Water is my weakest general, see how difficult it is for the senshi to defeat him." she said coldly. Matter looked taken aback and said,
"Planet-sama, don't you believe that Water can defeat them?" he asked hesitantly, looking down.
"My dear Matter." Planet said lovingly. Matter looked up and planet stood up and sauntered down to him, swaying her hips. She stopped just in front of them and lovingly ran a long black nail down his cheek, "Don't....EVER question me!" she finished with a hiss, she racked her nail down his face and a cut opened, blood dripped down his pale face. Matter yelped and jumped back, he held a hand up and touched his cheek. He paled even more and bowed,
"Gomen Nasai, Planet-sama." he said fearfully.
"Good." she said walking back and sitting regally in her throne. "You will find, that I always know best." she said arrogantly, looking at her bloody nail.
"Hai, your majesty." he whispered.
"Now do as I told you!" she snapped. He bowed again and disappeared, a shadow covering him, planet smiled and slowly licked her nail clean of the blood, when beep sounded in front of her.
*Compilation of senshi story completed* the hologram behind her said mechanically. She smiled and a silver goblet appeared in her hand, "Oral Reading." she commanded. The hologram then began the extremely long story of the Sailor Senshi, beginning with the Silver Millenium and going up to the present day. A figure listened in the shadows.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Usagi quietly turned the handle to her and Luna's room, and paused when she heard crying. She carefully peeked in and saw Luna sitting naked on the bed tossing all her clothes into the trash can. Luna suddenly sat up and went to the bathroom, and emerged wearing a robe. She weeped quietly as she brushed out her odangoes and let her hair hang around her. She went to the mirror and looked at her reflection, she reached a hand out and touched her reflection, the tears flowed harder.
"Luna?" Usagi asked gently, she opened the door all the way and walked in. Luna suddenly turned and looked at Usagi.
"What are you doing here?" she asked coldly, the tears suddenly stopping.
"Luna.." Usagi began.
"Iie, don't start, I know, I'm acting like a slut right?" Luna demanded her blue eyes hard as ice.
Usagi backed away, "Luna, Gomen nasai." she said.
"Oh sure, it's a little to late for that. Why don't you go ahead and stay in Mamoru's room?" Luna said harshly, "Then you two can do a little more fooling around!" Luna exclaimed, stepping closer, she breathed harder, and her hands were clenched into fists at her side.
Usagi gasped and she turned red, she looked down, "Luna-chan..." she began, nervously wringing her hands.
"Just leave me alone!" Luna screamed. She threw a tissue box at Usagi and it hit the wall beside her. Usagi gasped and ran out...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Where did they go?" Ami said, worried, she had a bad feeling and Luna had run off crying with Usagi following. She sat next to Michiru. Makoto, Minako, and Rei swam up giggling. "What's wrong?" Minako asked. "Something is wrong with Luna and Usagi." Michiru said. All of the sudden Rei gasped, her face paling.
"I have a bad premonition..." she whispered. It had suddenly become very still, the only people left in the pool were the senshi. Suddenly a sound like crashing waves softly began, getting louder quickly, and a burst of water appeared in the air and a man stepped out from it. He laughed evilly, winking at the girls and held his hands up. The water in the pool began to churn and spin, the girls began to scream as they were pulled under. It suddenly rose into the air and all the senshi shrieked as they were lifted into the air. They fell through the air, and landed in a heap by the side of the pool. The man laughed and tossed his long blue hair behind his shoulders.
"So, I finally meet the famous senshi. You have Planet-sama a little worried." he chuckled.
"I'll show you worried!" Makoto yelled, struggling up a dangerous green aura surrounding her.
"Jupiter Crystal Power, make up!"
"Mars Crystal Power, make up!"
"Mercury Crystal Power, make up!"
"Venus Crystal Power, make up!"
"Neptune Crystal Power, make up!"
"Uranus Crystal Power, make up!"
All the senshi yelled simultaneously, and they all transformed into Super Sailors and posed.
"We are the pretty sailor-suited sailor soldiers! The Sailor senshi!" Uranus yelled, pointing a finger at the water.
Water laughed uproariously and lifted a hand, a funnel of water rose out of nowhere beside him and he pointed at the senshi and it suddenly rushed towards the senshi.
"Burning Mandala!" Sailormars yelled quickly, the rings of fire headed towards the funnel. When the rings hit it, the water sizzled and shrank but kept on heading towards them. Mars stomped her foot angrily, "Fire Soul!" she screamed passionately, a huge stream of fire shot out and hit the funnel and it shrank and disappeared.
Water chuckled, "Well done, but I have better." He paused "Hmm, let's see, ah yes." he smiled arrogantly, "Power of the element water, aid me!" he yelled raising his hands to the sky, as he did Sailorneptune suddenly yelled, "Deep Submerge!" the raging ball of water headed towards him, he smiled and a sea-blue aura glowed around him, he held his hands out in front of him, the ball hit him square on, the senshi smiled. But suddenly, the water cleared and Water was floating there with the sea-green ball of water in his hands, Sailorneptune gasped.
"So you see, that is why I am called, CONTROLLERwater." he smiled evilly. "You senshi aren't too bright, I don't see why Planet-sama is worried about you." he fondly ran a finger over the ball of compressed water in his hand, it floated dociliy above his hand waiting...
Sailormercury pulled out her computer and clicked her visor down, she began typing..
"So, who is this planet-sama you speak of?" Sailorvenus asked buying mercury time.
"Ahh, haven't you heard of her?" Water said arrogantly, he didn't think the senshi were very powerful.
"No, I'm afraid not." Sailoruranus said stepping in front of Mercury, so water wouldn't see her.
"Controllerplanet-sama, she is the greatest being in the universe, she roams the universe, collecting planets for her collection. She wants this planet, so she can be done with this solar system. She plans on moving on to the Tau Ceti system next." Water smiled, shaking his head.
The senshi gasped, "But isn't Tau Ceti extremely strong?" Sailormars asked carefully, readying herself to attack.
"Pffffttt, they are nothing compared to her." Water sniffed, waving a hand. The senshi looked at each other.
"Attack him as he powers up and aim for his hands." Mercury whispered behind them, pushing her earring, the visor dissipating.
"I think it is time that we end this game." Water said, "Sayonara." he said...
