"You think I'm angry?" He asked, his voice showing no sign of his inner rage.

"I'm furious." He screamed at the cowering pair, "I told you to watch them, not fight them and nearly lose your lives." He continued his livid speech "Global Warming you I expected to do something so stupid, the only reason you're here is to see what's under Shadow's skirt but you…" he trailed off at this point, and looked over at the blue coloured lady, she bowed her head in shame and it was apparent that she was appalled at what she had done, it was a very rare occasion that Ultima got even annoyed, so the pure wrath that was screaming at them two minutes ago was an ominous occurrence, whenever her friend got angry there was a good reason, and since he was so incensed she guessed that she and her fiery partner couldn't have done more wrong. However while she hung her head in shame her flammable male counterpart was getting more and more angry by the second, how could this man yell at him, and he used the term man loosely, after all what kind of self respecting male would wear make-up, and it was because of this semi- male that he was no closer to shadow then he had ever been, at least that's what he wanted to believe after all it wasn't possible that she just didn't like him, he never had trouble getting girl's before, but then again he had never gone after a human before. Anyway he was digressing he wasn't going to stand be yelled at like a little kid, " What is your problem, so what if we fought them it's not as if anything bad happened, and if you ask me I say we should be out there fighting them now." He said as his arrogant smile crept back on his face.

"Well then we're all lucky I'm not asking you." Sailor Ultima simply said in reply to Global Warming's cheap shot at seeming to the better person, but it wasn't really trying to be the better person as even if he was right then he wouldn't have been a better person just wouldn't look a child being told off by an angry parent, he knew Global Warming's type, rebellious, really did not appreciate getting orders, and always had to look better then anyone else in the room, he was a lot like "Someone" he used to know. Nuclear Winter could see anger building, in Global Warming at any rate; Ultima had once again put on his usual façade, his introvert, stoic and almost depressive one.

"I'm sorry…" She said to stop Global Warming from doing something he could regret "But I was sure I could have beaten them and, well I wanted you to be… proud I guess." She stopped there to see his reaction, it was a positive one, he smiled. He looked so handsome when he smiled; Nuclear Winter felt a shiver go down her spine as she saw his face light up he was so attractive and he would look even better if he didn't hide behind a mask of black make-up but still she couldn't think of another man who looked good in lipstick. She was decidedly pleased with his reaction so she continued. "And I would have beaten them to, if it weren't for that weird new power Sailor Neptune used on me." His smile faded and his face visibly darkened, she realised what she had said two seconds to late.

"What?" He asked simply.

"Ummmmm." She said. Out of a possible thirty thousand answers she could have given him, she knew that not one of them would save her from the silent treatment. Sailor Ultima's silent treatment was scarier then any war, or natural disaster could ever be, when Sailor Ultima went into silent treatment you knew he was furious and when he was silent you didn't know what he was thinking, and he had power to do pretty much anything, even Nuclear Winter who could be considered his closest friend didn't know much about him so he could quite possibly snap and go on a rampage, she knew this was very unlikely as it wasn't his style to do that, because he didn't approve of wasting life, but still there was so much unknown about him anything was still possible.

"Ummm well you see… Sailor Neptune… ummm." She stuttered trying to think of a good way to phrase what had happened. She couldn't find one. Sailor Ultima simply turned away from them and said. "Get out." And his tone was one you did not argue with, even the rebellious Global Warming left immediately, he didn't even bother using the door, he teleported out of there for the quicker he left the better, Nuclear Winter bowed her head and left in a similar fashion, he wasn't going to talk to her for at least a few millennia. "This is going to be harder then I thought."



Sailor Shadow was walking around the Juuban district, taking in the sites of Motoki until he noticed her continual staring and became slightly scared, that was when she decided it was time to leave. She was waiting for someone, at that someone was coming down the road now. It was Mako.

Now it was time to start operation "insert cheesy operation title."

Sailor Shadow ran around the corner just in time to bump in to Mako and knock her over.

"Oh my… I'm so sorry I wasn't looking where I was going. Are you alright?" Said Shadow offering her hand to the downed Mako. "I'm fine thank you." She replied to the mysterious and gothic looking stranger, she took her hand and then once back on her feet proceeded to dust herself off.

"I'm really sorry, I should have been looking where I was going. You see I'm new here, my parents moved here on business, they never really have time for me so I had to show myself around…" she paused and then she got a really happy and wide look on her face. "Hey, I've got an idea, umm do you think you could show me around?" She asked putting on her best puppy dog eyes without looking to fake. "Look I would love to but I need to meet my friends rite away." With this she sped off down the road. That was unexpected she thought to herself, there meant to be on holiday what is so important I don't think that's how humans relax. With this thought she decided that the operation was a failure and she would go back to Sailor Ultima and tell him what had happened. She looked around and her eyes focused on an alleyway enshrouded in shadow "Oh well" she thought as she entered the shadow and disappeared.



She had a look of shock on her face "They know about us?" she asked. It was a rhetorical question but Ultima answered it anyway. "Yes" was the simple answer he gave her. "What? Who? When? Where? Why?" she stopped when she had ran out of questions that began with w. "Nuclear Winter and your lackey gave the game away by trying to see if they could beat the Senshi on their own." He said this without a change in his tone, he was no longer angry; he never stayed annoyed for too long anyway. "So how will this affect our plan?" she asked, "Well" he continued "The Senshi of the outer planets are now going to join forces creating a full team again which means we will have to be very careful and also means we will have to work together." Even though the news Ultima had given her was shocking and irritating, Sailor Shadow found she still couldn't take her eyes off his chest. "Umm hello." Said Ultima trying to get her attention back to his face, she looked up at him and stared straight into his eyes, she hurriedly looked away and flushed slightly, o.k. So what if she was acting like a schoolgirl she had a reason to. "Anyway, I'll tell you when I'm ready." with this he turned and walked away and my god did Shadow love how he walked in leather. "And you can stop staring at ass now!"



"Sorry, I'm late." Wheezed Usagi as she ran in to the Hikawa shrine. She looked around too see some familiar and welcome faces, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, and Hotaru everyone was there minus a few people.

"It's o.k." Said Minako "Mako still hasn't arrived."

"You mean I'm not the last one!" she said as her face lit up, it was a rare occasion that she was not the last and so she had reason to be happy, "When Mako arrives we'll start the meeting." Minako finished and they sat about waiting. However they were to be waiting for quite awhile for no less then 10 metres down the road Sailor Jupiter was battling against Global warming.

"Jupiter Oak Evolution." She said as she performed her attack but it was to no avail as the leaves were simply absorbed and had no affect.

"Inferno." Was his reply to her attack and a familiar wall of flame was wending its way towards her, she had to do something but her attack didn't work against the monster before so what could she do now, and then she remembered, she had only used this power once and even then it wasn't much help but there was nothing else she could do.

"Super Supreme Thunder." She called and her attack clashed with his cancelling them both out. Then from out of nowhere came a strangely familiar voice. "Sailor Jupiter" It said, she looked out of the corner of her eye to see the girl she had ran into earlier. "What are you doing here? Get away before you get hurt." She called to the girl, but she had no intention of running, a smile crept across her face and then she said. "Believe me, he's the one that's gonna be hurting." With this she held her hand aloft and said, "Shadow Eclipse Power." And purple lightning came from nowhere and struck her hand creating a henshin stick then she finished with "make up." The outline of her body was deep purple her eyes were closed and she had many moons circling her, the moons started to spin faster and she opened her eyes to look forward then the moons one by one placed them selves behind her eclipsing each other, as they did this she got darker and darker until she was nothing but a silhouette, then she raised her right arm to shoulder height and pushed it swiftly to her side with this the eclipsing moons shattered like glass and she was bathed in light again. "She's a Sailor Senshi!" thought Jupiter to herself as the newly transformed Sailor Shadow stood before her. Her Senshi out was different from the girls; She was wearing a short thigh length purple dress with two blue straps, one around the waist like a belt and one around the skirt, there was a v shaped area on her hest that was a darker purple then the rest and this was outlined by a single yellow line, she was wearing knee high purple socks and purple shoes with ankle straps similar to Sailor Neptune's shoes in style, her gloves although elbow length were also different as they did not cover her hands, a triangular piece of material connected the arm to a silver ring on her middle finger, her nails were purple and her hair had changed from black to purple, if you were going to describe her in one word it would be purple. While Sailor Jupiter was staring in awe Sailor Shadow decided to show off some more so she went into her attack "Solar Distortion." The eclipse came again this time with only one moon covering the sun then the image of Sailor Shadow started to flicker, as if you were watching a T.V. screen with a bad picture, then the image split in two, the in turn then split in two leaving four of her. The four Sailor Shadows took no time at all in surrounding him and Global Warming didn't know which one two aim at. "Inferno" He called and a fire wall went straight through two of the Sailor Shadows a third one punched him in the stomach and then gave him a roundhouse to the head that even Haruka would have been proud of, this sent him to the ground. He spat angrily "I don't know who you are, but you're too late to save the senshi." He once again burst into flames and disappeared. "Wow!" was all Jupiter could say, the fire thing (She couldn't think of a better description at that point in time) that had almost beaten her was forced to run away in seconds after meeting this new senshi and o.k. There were four of her but still. "Wow!" she repeated, "So Sailor Jupiter, now will you show me around?"



"Shadow promise me you will never do that again." Said Jupiter as she appeared in a dark corner of the Hikawa shrine. "Sorry… Shadow shifting is a bit weird the first time you try it." She said holding her up. Eight heads turned in surprise at the voices. "Jupiter?" asked Rei.

"Yeah sorry I'm late guys but I'd like you too meet a new friend of mine. Everyone this is Sailor Shadow. The eight gasped in surprise as they looked at the purple woman, there was a long pause of silence and Usagi was the first to speak. "Wow we're all back together and now we have a new member. What a reunion." She smiled at Shadow.

"A reunion of fools." She thought to herself.
