The inner senshi were at the temple discussing the new enemy and the new senshi. "What are soul keys and why is this Draco after them?" Rei asked.
"And what about the two new soldiers?" Makoto asked.
"Yes, who is this Sailor Earth? Why hasn't she appeared before?" Ami questioned.
"I don't know who she is but right before she appeared I felt a boost of my energy. A tremendous boost. She seems very powerful." Usagi said.
*******************************************************************************************************
"Draco, have you found the soul keys of darkness and light yet?" A voice said from the darkness.
"No, milord. I haven't found them yet."
"The more time we take in finding the soul key of light the greater chance the forces of good have on obtaining that key and sealing the Paradox. I will not let that happen!"
"Yes, milord. I'll search for a new target immediately." Draco said as he turned and walked away while his black cape swished about him.
*******************************************************************************************************
"Mmm, what is that delicious smell?" Mamoru said as he made his way to the kitchen.
"It's just some burgers." Hikari called out.
"You can cook Hikari-chan?"
"Apparently. It's almost ready." The door bell rang. "Mamo-chan, can you get that?"
"Mamo-chan, I know you're home," Usagi's voice drifted through the door, "Open up!" Mamoru opened the door and let Usagi in.
"Hello, Usagi-san,"Hikari said from the kitchen, "Would you like to eat lunch with us?"
"You may regret that, Hikari-chan."Mamoru said.
"Hey, what do you mean she'll regret it!"
"Oh, nothing, nothing." Mamoru said.
"Don't worry, Hikari is a good cook and a fast one too." Arekku said from the doorway of his room. Hikari brought out the burgers while Arekku set the table. They all set down to eat.
"Hikari-san, would you like to meet some of my friends? We are going to the park this afternoon." Usagi asked.
"Yes, that would be nice. Thank-you."
*******************************************************************************************************
Draco was sitting at his desk in the planetarium's office. On his desk were piles of pictures and magazine clippings. "If I don't find the soul key of light soon, milord will have my head. Ah, this girl looks full of light. She must posess the soul key I'm after. Drac rushe dout of his office. On his desk was a picture of Minako.
*******************************************************************************************************
"Rei-chan, Ami-chan, Mako-chan, Minako-chan, this is Hikari. She is Mamo-chan's sister." Usagi said as she introduced Hikari to the girls.
"Nice to meet you." Rei said.
"Nice to meet all of you as well." Hikari replied. Hikari looked at the girls. It was so good to see her friends again. Even if they didn't remember her. They walked into the park. Hikari noticed Draco sneaking behind them.'His next target must be one of the girls.' Hikari thought to herself. They reached the lake and began feeding the birds. Minako saw this cute guy and he offered to walk with her.
"Usagi-chan, it's nice to see you again."
"Haruka-san, Michiru-san, it's nice to see you too!" Usagi said, "oh this is Mamoru-chann's sister, Hikari." Haruka and Michiru looked up at the girl Usagi motioned to. They both had a feeling that they had known her before.
"Nice to meet you." Hikari said. A scream pierced the tranquil silence of the lake. Usagi told Hikari to stay put while they went to find Minako. "I am not going to stay here. They are dealing with an evil they can't possibly imagine. Earth Crystal Locket Power, Make-up!"
*******************************************************************************************************
"Minako-chan, no!" Sailor Moon screamed. Minako lay on the ground barely concious. Her Silver soul key floated above her.
"Drat, this isn't the soul key I'm after. Swanara, help get rid of these pests!" Draco said as he threw a small swan figurine into the air. It exploded and revealed a swan like youma.
"Swanara at your service!"
"Get rid of them. I'm outta here." Draco said as he jumped through his star-shaped hole. Swanara flew up high and did a nose dive straight for Sailor Moon.
"Deep Submerge!" Swanara dodged Neptune's attack. It flew under Sailor Moon, picked her up, and started flying high again
"Somebody get me off! I don't like heights!" Sailor Moon yelled.
"What's that?" Sailor Mars yelled as she pointed to the sky.
"Pegasus? It can't be!" Jupiter shouted.
"It's a pegasus but not Helios. And someone's riding it!"
Meanwhile, in the air:
"Hold on, Sailor Moon," Earth said, "Aurora, we have to get closer!"
"Right," The yellow pegasus replied. Aurora swoopped closer down tot he youma.
"Grab my hand, I'll swing you up onto Aurora!" Sailor Earth shouted as she grabbed Sailor Moon's hand. She pulled her up onto the pegasus's back.
"Look, whoever is riding the pegasus is helping Sailor Moon!" Minako said excitedly.
"It's Sailor Earth!" Mercury excliamed as she typed away at her computer.
"Sailor Earth?" Uranus questioned.
Back in the Air:
"Hold on, Sailor Moon!" Erath told her, " Earth Harmony Net!" A net of linked music notes spread out from Sailor Earth's hands. The net covered the youma, forcing it to land. Aurora followed and Sailor Moon jumped off when they were close to the ground and began her attack.
"Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!" The youma turned back into a figurine. Sailor Earth was about to leave when Uranus spoke.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"I can't tell you that now."Tears filled Sailor Earth's eyes.
"Why not?" Neptune demanded.
"Because of a sacred vow I made to a fallen queen a thousand years ago. My curse and my blessing is to remember all that has happened and never reveal it. It is why I am the Soldier of Remembrance."
"Will we ever know who you are?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Yes, one day you will discover for yourselves who I really am. But now I must leave before the winds change." Earth replied as she let out a little giggle." Aurora, would you?"
"Of course," The pegasus replied as she took off into the sky.
"Oh My God, we forgot about Hikari!" Sailor Moon yelled.
******************************************************************************************************* "I wonder where they could be." A little smirk appeared on Hikari's face.
"Hikari-san, I'm sorry, we were getting Minako-chan out of a little guy trouble." Usagi explained.
"Hey, I was doing just fine until..."
"I'm sure Hikari-san doesn't want to hear about your guy problems, Minako-chan." Rei interupted.
"At least I've got guy problems, unlike you, Rei-chan." Minako retorted. Haruka and Michiru were watching from a distance.
"That girls seems so familiar to me. I wish I could remember where I know her from." Haruka said Michiru.
"You mean Chiba Hikari. I have that feeling too. We'll have to keep an eye on her."
