Chapter 3: To the Future

The sailor scouts screamed as they dropped through ht portal. "Where are we?" asked Sailor Moon. "We seem to be in a time portal,"' replied Sailor Pluto. Crystal Sailor Mercury reached over and took Chibi Moon's hand protectively.

Soon the portal ended and the scouts fell to the ground below. The Crystals and Outer Senshi were the only ones to land on their feet. "I'm Home!" said Chibi Moon, scrambling to her feet. "Haven't been here for awhile," said Crystal Mercury to Crystal Moon. She nodded, "Yeah." "She seems to have disappeared," said Sailor Mercury checking her scanner. "Shimatta!" "Crystal Jupiter!" yelled Crystal Mercury. "Nani?" She pointed at Chibi Moon. "Sorry," mumbled Crystal Jupiter. "Come on!" shouted Chibi Moon, "Lets go find my mommy!" Rini kept a hold of Crystal Mercury's hand as the group took off for the castle.

"You baka! How could you bring them here!" " I'm sorry my lord." "Well, we'll just them have their fun for now."

As they entered the throne room, they were greeted by neo Queen Serenity. The inner and outer senshi stopped as the crystals went a couple of steps ahead and kneeled in front of her.

"Arise my senshi" The three scouts rose. "I see you have returned home." "So to speak," said Crystal Jupiter. "Yes," said Serenity, "I'm well aware of your situation." King Darien walked in holding the hand of a small girl about Rini's age with light blue hair and shining green eyes. "Lady Kaiyo," said Crystal Sailor Moon. The small child giggled as she let go of Darien's hand and bowed before the scouts. "Welcome to Crystal Tokyo!" she said cheerfully.

"The time has come. They should all be at the palace by now. Shi, go! And don't mess up again!" "Yes, my lord"

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

"I'm glad you've all made it back safe, "said King Darien, "I only hope the others will return safely as well." Stephanie, Julie, and Jessica's hearts flopped. Being in Crystal Tokyo had brought back all their memories to them, including those of the Crystal Knights.

A blast was heard outside that shook the castle. "Come on Sailor Senshi!" Shi shouted. "That's our cue," said Crystal Jupiter. The scouts bowed at the King and Queen before disappearing down the corridor.

"Mother may I?" Queen Serenity smiled and nodded at Kaiyo. "Crystal Moon Prism Power!"

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

All 13 scouts stood outside ready to defeat Shi. "Wait for me!" a voice called out, running up to the group. They turned to see a small sailor scout running towards them.

"And who are you?" asked Sailor Moon. "I am Sailor Chibi Crystal moon!" Stephanie smiled at Jessica, who smiled back. "Well," said Crystal Sailor Moon, "Let's destroy this evil creep!" "Right," said all the senshi. Crystal Mercury started, "Crystal Shine Aqua Illusion!" "Crystal Jupiter Thunder crash Zap!" "Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" "Mercury Bubble Blast!" "Jupiter Thunder crash!" "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" "Uranus World Shaking!" "Neptune Deep Submerge!" "Pluto Deadly Scream!" "Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" "Crystal Chibi Moon Tiara Magic!"

Shi could not avoid all the attacks fired upon her. Crystal Sailor Moon and Sailor moon hit her with their wands and she was destroyed. The group cheered happily.

"Foolish scouts! Now you will pay!" Everyone looked. A black hole formed behind each of the crystal scouts and they were pulled in. The inner and outer senshi gasped. "Everyone, back to the castle!" commanded Sailor Pluto. They all high tailed it to the castle.

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

"Welcome to my dark palace, crystal scouts." "Who are you?" asked Crystal Sailor Moon. "Never mind, you'll find out soon enough." But I'm sure you'll know them," A light shone on the wall in front of them. The crystal scouts mouths dropped open at the sight in front of them. There were three males each encased in a crystal. "I know you would recognize them."
