Don't bash me...I've never been inside a coffehouse before. yes, although it's not implied you can assume that they are drinking yummy coffee. I really hope that i mentioned the concert was on friday, instead of any other day....
Oh crap…this fic reminds me of the America situation. Well, remember that I began both the story and this particular fic before anyone even thought something would happen, ok? If anyone really wants me to change it, contact me and I'll see what I can do.

The story continues…
"This is your daily morning news broadcast. Last night, a phenomenal tragedy occured at Concert Hall...."
Duo, Heero, and Wufei, the early birds of their household, sat at their usual table in the downtown coffehouse.
"...killing all but a few lucky staff members, backstage fans, and the Three Lights themselves...."
A short figure wearing a long black coat, hood up, sulkily walked into the coffehouse.
"No one escaped without injury, and some are in critical condition...."
Head bent, the mysterious figure walked slowly through the room and stopped as it reached the boys' table.
"However, celebrities Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki Kou received only minor injuries and required minimal treatment"
The figure slumped in the seat next to Duo and leaned on him, and the shoulders heaved once in a desperate sob. Duo un-hooded the figure to reveal a blonde-headed, grief-stricken girl.
"Spyrill!" He lifted her chin, and her eyes were reddened with excessive crying, her cheeks stained with tears that still flowed freely. As she put her head back down, she wrapped her arms around him. He put his hand on her shoulder in sympathy, and mouthed to Heero "Should we tell her?", because all three of them knew exactly why she was crying.
"What's strange about this case is that the explosion was unlike anything ever seen on this earth. There are reports that the attack came from above, and some think that this may be an early sign of alien invasion...."
"Duo...I can't stand it...they can't be dead...." murmured Spyrill through heavy tears. With her face buried in his shirt, her words were muffled. This was one of those rare moments where Duo was speechless. Neither he nor his two friends sitting across from him knew what they could do to ease their female friend's pain - without revealing their new secret.
"It has also been reported that five bodies are missing from the site. Teens Usagi Tsukino, Rei Hino, Ami Mizuno...."
Spyrill's head shot up at the second syllable of Usagi's name and stared at the television screen in disbelief. Just when she thought her ears were playing tricks on her, their pictures were displayed on the screen. Missing? How could they be missing?! Spyrill had seen their bodies right there in front of her! Damn it, he had seen their dead, limp bodies and their ruined clothes - and so had her friends, the Gundam pilots!
"Duo, what are they talking about?! What do they mean missing?"
Duo, Heero and Wufei exchanged nervous glances.
"Did you guys see something happen? What did they do to them?! Did you let something happen to them??!"
The boys remained speechless, unable to think of what to tell her. They couldn't tell her what had really happened here in public, but they couldn't bear to lie to her about it either.
Spyrill stood. "What did you do to them?!!" she demanded, catching the attention of the public. When they still wouldn't answer, she ran, confused and furious, toward the door, her sobs much more audible. Duo jumped out of his seat to grab her but missed, so he ran after her. "Matte!! Spyrill!!" She ignored him and dashed out the door and toward the restaurant across the street, disregarding the traffic. Although just aquaintances, she knew that Haruka and Michiru always ate breakfast there on Saturdays.
"...may have been victims of alien abduction, but police are investigating for a more reasonable explanation...."
"Haruka-san...Michiru-san...." said Spyrill softly, sniffling in between names. The girls turned to see her walking toward their table in heavy tears. They too knew why she was crying; the TV in the restaruant was set to the same channel.
"Spyrill dear, you look terrible!" said Michiru, who stood up to hug her.
"I dunno...what happened to...to...."
"You don't have to say it hun. We know already. We're very upset too."
"But...how are they missing? I saw them, Michiru-san! What could have happened to them?!"
Then the TV station was knocked out and there was nothing but static.
"That's strange...." muttered Haruka to herself. She and Michiru exchanged concerned looks. Haruka stood up slowly. Then faintly in the distance they heard an exploding sound, like a thud. A few seconds later they heard it again. And again. It came in steady intervals, and soon the sounds of faraway screams and car horns joined it. The noises began to grow louder, like a tidal wave slowly creeping up on them. The thud became more of a rumble, and the earth vibrated each time, more with each hit. The others in the restaurant began to wonder and worry. Haruka and Michiru wanted to do something about it, but until it hit them they wouldn't know how to react. It did not sound like something they could merely outrun. Through the windows, they could see the people running with all their might, and the panicked ones inside the restaurant ran out to join them. Suddenly, in a blinding light and noise as loud as a jet, the three were flung toward the far wall of the restaurant. Spyrill felt Michiru on top of her, protecting her from the flying debris. When it stopped, Haruka sat up and checked on the other two next to her.
"Haruka...are you alright...?"
"Michiru! You're hurt!"
"Just a few scratches and bruises...I've had worse injuries." Carefully and slowly, Michiru lifted herself. Haruka helped her. Then about a half mile the other way, the rumble hit again, nearly knocking Haruka and Michiru back down with the violent vibration it made.
Spyrill studied the scene around her. The front wall of the building had been knocked in, and broken glass, chairs, tables, and eating utensils were scattered about, mostly gathered at the far wall where they were. The force had actually been strong enough to hurl a car through the wall, which had probably caused a lot of the damage. It lay on its back at the side of the restaurant.
Enough of the front wall was gone so that Spyrill could see a gleam way off in the distance of the sky, and like a bullet crash into the earth, farther away from them now. It appeared that someone from above was shooting at the earth, beam after beam down the street! Another thing Spyrill noticed was that this appeared to be a smaller version of the same attack that had destroyed Concert Hall and killed the Senshi.
Chaos had broken out along the street. Michiru had proved herself well enough to take care of herself, and convinced Haruka to stop worrying about her. Then suddenly Spyrill remembered that three of the boys had been in the coffehouse across the street, which was in no better shape than the restaurant they were in. Spyrill said this out loud.
Haruka said to Michiru, "Then let's go."
Michiru nodded. "Right."
"Wait for me!" shouted Spyrill.
"No Spyrill! You stay here, please! It's too dangerous!" said Haruka, and they began to leave.
Spyrill stood up and followed them. "I'm going with you!!"
Haruka and Michiru turned around. "Spyrill, please, for your own good, stay here! You don't understand!"
"Yes I do! I know what you have to do!"
"Not exactly, Spyrill. We're wasting time, so just stay here where it's safer!" said Haruka as she walked away. Spyrill followed and persisted in arguing. Not wanting to deal with her anymore, Haruka dragged her over to the empty flipped car. "We're wasting time!" she said, and shoved a fighting Spyrill into the car, locking her in and placing a table in front of the only available door. Spyrill screamed and cried and pounded on the door so hard her hands turned red.
"Why did you do that?" asked Michiru as they hurried to find the boys across the street.
"It was the first thing I thought of to keep her here. Don't worry, she'll be safe. Besides, we need to hurry, before this enemy escapes."
"But do we have to keep it a secret, even from her?"
Haruka remained silent.
Spyrill tried with all her might to push the door open, but it was no use with the table in the way. She decided to give it a rest, and lay hopelessly on the floor. She had already lost five of her best friends in an attack like this...she didn't want to lose any more. She gave the door one last punch, and finally the table fell over. She pushed the door open and crawled out, then ran out onto the street, which was crowded with frightened people as far as she could see.
She then noticed that the attack had ceased. She wondered what to expect next, when she noticed millions of people looking upward in fear. Spyrill followed their stare - and hovering in the sky was a large, black, crystal object with a small figure on top of it! "The world does not need Sailor Senshi!" said the figure, a little girl. "Where are you? I know you're here - I can sense it! Come out and face your fate!"
Bravely, Sailor Uranus and Neptune appeared at the front of the crowd. "Identify yourself!" demanded Sailor Uranus.
"I am Roa, and my purpose is to punish all of the Sailor Senshi! Why did you revive them, after I succeded in destroying them?! "
Spyrill gasped in astonishment.
"You Outer Senshi deserve double your punishment for that!!" cried Roa as shards of crystal exploded from the sides and flew like bullets toward the two Senshi.
"Fire Soul Dragon!" shouted a female voice, and a snake-like flame devoured the pieces of crystal, saving Uranus and Neptune. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw three girls dressed in Sailor fuku! But Spyrill noticed something strange about their sailor fukus, something that only a mobile suit pilot would know - those fukus were made out of Gundanium armor!!
"You've underestimated the power of Sailor Senshi, Roa!" cried the foremost Senshi. She had brown hair tied back in two braided pigtails and was the only one wearing a black fuku. She held a stylish scythe.
"Who are you?!" cried Roa.
"My guardian is Venus; Soldier of Beauty and Goddess of Death, I am Shin Sailor Venus!"
The second Senshi had long black hair pulled back tightly, and wore no bangs so that her Gundanium Tiara could be plainly seen. She caried with her a glaive. "Guided by Mars, planet of fire, I am Shin Sailor Mars!" She was the one who had saved Uranus and Neptune.
The third one had brown hair, shorter than all the others, and curretly possesed no weapon; but in appearance she seemed very physically strong, and that made up for it. "I am Shin Sailor Jupiter, and on behalf of my guiding planet, omae wo korosu!"
Roa chuckled. "My powers are far greater than yours! You wimps could never beat me!"
"How dare you call us wimps, onna no ko!" shouted Shin Sailor Mars.
"We could whoop your ass any day!" said Shin Sailor Venus with a huge grin.
"Why don't you try proving it to me right now? I promise you'll lose!"
"Let me try," said Shin Sailor Jupiter, moving forward. In making beautiful motions, she shouted, "Sparkling Wing Revolution!!" At the same time, a brightly lit beam emitted from Roa's hand, and both attacks fought each other. Jupiter put all her strength into it, but she just couldn't hold out against Roa's attack, coming closer.
"Stop it! Stop it right now!!" cried a new female voice. "Don't hurt my friends!" A cute, blond-headed girl in Sailor fuku appeared standing on top of the coffeehouse, and behind her was another taller Senshi with bangs that stuck far out.
Both Jupiter and Roa retreated, and Jupiter fell to her knees in exaustion. "Oh no! Not more!" cried Roa. "Which one are you supposed to be?" she asked, annoyed.
"Ai to heiwa no, Sailor o bishoujo senshi Shin Sailor Moon!"
"And me," spoke the taller Senshi, "I am Shin Sailor Mercury. "
"Why do you want to kill us? Neither we nor the other Senshi have ever done anything wrong to you!"
"You have received the memories of the original Senshi, right? Then you should know what you have done! Don't try to lie to me!!" She raised her hand to attack, but a beam from somewhere struck her hand. She looked around furiously. "Who did that?! Another Stupid Senshi??!!"
Everyone turned to look, and spotted a tall slender silouhette of a figure standing at the peak of the debris that had once been a building. Then she stepped into the light and all could see that she had on an armor sailor fuku as well, the most amazing and beautiful of them all. But the five new inner senshi had already been gathered at this site, so who was this new soldier? Was she here to help them?
Shin Sailor Venus then noticed that this new person's sailor fuku looked almost identical to hers! But this one wore a mask over her eyes. "Who are you?" she demanded.
"Have you come to help us?" asked Sailor Moon. She stared at them a long time, as if studying them, and said nothing….
