Minako desperately dodged the blow and found herself hip deep in mud and some type of bramble. Quickly she threw her body to the side and desperately looked around for whatever had attacked her.
Unfortunately whatever it was found her first. Minako shocked back a scream when she was picked up by the throat. Her feet dangled off the ground and she froze when she met a pair of homicidal green eyes.
They were not the dark lightening struck green of Makoto's, these shone with an insane light, and they had a need for death. Her death. Minako struggled to loose his hands and attracted in desperation. It did not matter if he was an evil space alien, he was still male.
Her foot struck with all the force she could gather, and out of Senshi form, and loosing air and ability to move, she still kick harder than the average human.
He dropped her like he had been burned and howled with pain. He lowered his hands as if to strangle her, but a bolt of lightening crashed into him, sending him back.
Makoto had used the distraction of the orange haired freak to duck back into her house. Hopefully Minako could hold on that long. A few moments later she was back in full Senshi pissed off form. One quick ThunderBolt and Minako was able to roll away.
Makoto turned her gaze to the two, Makoto blinked, now FIVE, men there. The more that came the worse the fashion sense. The freak with a dingy colored green hair looked at her like she was some type of…something.
Makoto heard the pounding of several feet and breathed a sigh of relief turning she almost fell backwards. The yoma type thing had twelve feet and twice as many arm. It looked at her with a head that was slowly separating into several more. And it smelled horrible.
" Oh shit." Jupiter hissed in vexation. " VENUS!"
Minako looked up and cursed violently. Looking around she rolled into the space in between houses. A few moments later Venus rolled out.
" Crescent Beam!" Minako hissed, sending a weak attack to see what its reaction would be. Until Mercury got here it was best to play it safe. The shot hit, but where there was one arm, there was now three.
Minako met Makoto's gaze and echoed her thoughts. "Shit."

Mars tore down the street her short mini skirt caused wild stares. A quick jump later and she was on the roofs jumping as quickly from one to the to the other. Only the pounding of boots let her know Ami was right behind her.
Mars could practically feel the urgency coming from Venus and Makoto. She willed her legs to move faster. If anyone had looked they would only have seen two blurs, one of red, the other blue.
Mars landed next to Jupiter's with a start. At first all she would see were heads, arms, and legs. Her mouth had dropped open and shock reached across her features.
When five of those heads turned at shot a beam at her, out of their mouths no less, Rei gave a surprised yelp and dodged. Right into the wall.
Mercury dove behind car that parked in the street and quickly began to type away. So far no weak points. Damn.

Usagi looked up from her sandwich. She was eating with Mamoru and the Generals. So far she had found them to be as much fun in this lifetime as they had been in the last.
Jason and Zach seemed to feed off each other, ridiculing the others and teasing the life out of Mamoru. They had Usagi in none stop laughter since she had sat down.
Nate threw in a comment every now and then, is facial expression far more entertaining than anything Jason or Zach could say. They knew it, and tried to make up for it.
Keaton and Mamoru talked about the things that had done. Much of it in common. The fast friendship and bond between Prince and Captain was once again firmly in place.
But all the merrier fun was cut in half when her beeper went of. Usagi picked it up and smiled at it. Carefully she angled it away from Nate who was sitting next to her.
" Yes." Usagi said in a chirpy motion.
" WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" Mars' voice screamed. Silence was pronounced in the apartment.
" What's wrong?" Usagi demanded, panic evident in her voice.
" Where? WHERE? I am getting my ass kicked by some thirty arm and leg thing, and then there are the FIVE MALES WHO ARE LOOKING AT US LIKE A SIDE OF BEEF! Get your moonie ASS down here NOW!" Mars' yelled. The connection died after they heard the single long scream.
Usagi jumped to her feet and raced to the window. A flurry of feathers and ribbons, and she was gone.
Mamoru was hot on her trail. " Come on." He hollered over his shoulder, forgetting that the Senshi had not yet been told they were on their side. And the Generals, forgetting in there panic, were fast to follow.

Venus hissed in vexation holding her shoulder ware a small piece of scrapnel was buried, blood oozing threw her fingers, and desperately tired to think of a plan.
Her relief was great when Sailor Moon dropped down. " What took you so long?"
" Sorry, I guess my compact is not working." Sailor Moon lied.
" Have Mercury look at it later." Mars yelped, dodging a tad awkwardly, favoring one ankle.
" GOT IT!" Mercury said in a tired tone, dodging haven taken most of her energy. They were only super hero's, not super man.
" It his heel. He has an Achilles heel!" Mercury yelled, failing to dodge the blast of energy. She slammed into the very car that had been saving her, now acting as form of pain.
" Shi." Sailor Moon snapped. " Venus can you hit it?"
Venus closed her eyes and sighed. " I can try. But the shrapnel is in my right arm, and that's the arm I shoot with." Pain was evident in her arm. But her eyes were determined.
" I can do it." Mars told them. " If you can give me distraction." Venus nodded her head. " JUPITER!"
Jupiter grinned, cracking her knuckled in a disturbing manner. " Its only got thirty arms by know. Dagon from one of my Moons had sixty when we rumbled." With that Jupiter hit the thing in a full arm to arm.
Venus readied her chain hissing in pain. Mars pulled her arms in a bow form and sighted. Jupiter felt the signal but found, to her surprise that her body was being carefully wound up like a package.
" Oh no you don't." Jupiter hissed. Rei felt drops of sweat slowly fall down her face as she concentrated on keeping the power level up.
Jupiter took hold of the lightning. Using sheer concentration she smirked. " Thunder Dragon."
The Dragon Swept around her and the Yoma, and the force knocked her back into a wall, and caused it to grow even more. But it gave Rei the moment she needed.
" Sniper Arrow." Mars hissed. The fire flew forward leaving her feeling slightly empty, but new flames rose up to fill the void.
Jupiter rolled away and stumbled to Mercury who was crawling out of the cave that her body had left in the side of the car. Minako was walking over, blood having stained the entire glove, and sat down next the Sailor Moon.
Mars allowed herself to sigh when she saw Tuxedo Kaman move into the clearing. But her heart stopped when she saw a familiar face behind him. Blue eyes gleamed with some foreign emotion. Mars narrowed her eyes.
Jadeite ran behind his Prince, unaware of the danger he was in. Her never saw Mars form the arrow and he never saw the fire arrow come racing at his heart.
Zoicite did, however. He hit his friend with the full force of a full back and they crashed to the ground.
" Rule one when dealing with Senshi. WATCH MARS!" Zoicite yelled in his ear. Jadeite snarled.
Minako starred at the Generals, and then at the drag queen wanna bees. The term, deep shit came to mind.
The blond Drag Queen floated forward. His eyes were locked on Sailor Moon with something close to worship in his gaze. Minako rolled her eyes. It had the love bug had bit again.
" M'lady, you beauty astounds me. Join me and my brothers and never lack for want."
Sailor Moon looked at him then looked at Venus. She pointed to herself and when he nodded, she calmly stepped behind Tuxedo Kaman. Crazy yoma's were one thing. Lovesick villains, well he could take care of them.
" Are you smoking some type of shit?" Mars snapped, keeping her eyes locked on the Generals, bow knocked and loaded.
" Go screw yourself." Jupiter snapped at him.
" Your insolence is uncalled for. Next time we will bring a powerful Ygeth, and we will destroy you." With that the five beings were gone.
And left in their wake, four pissed Senshi, and Four irritated Generals.
" Guys there are Endymion's Generals. They are on are side." Sailor Moon said in a cheerful voice. Four heads slowly swiveled to her.
" Are you on crack?" Mars growled.
" WHAT?" Jupiter and Venus demanded.
" Can't you guys remember?" Sailor Moon rambled, leaving the Senshi with befuddled gazes. " They are to Endymion what you guys are to me!"
" No offence here Princess," Minako said, her tone living ice. "But the last memory I have of the Moon Kingdom is that man," She pointed at Kunzite ruthlessly. " Running a sword through my stomach. No offense or anything but this lifetimes memories are not much better."
" Hold on…" Jadeite started but Mars ruthlessly cut him off.
" Shut up. Venus has the floor, and unless you want you tongue cut out, I suggest you shove it." Mars hissed, anger from two lifetimes welling up in her stomach. Her eyes burned with it, and that alone was enough to shut him up.
" You four stay a way from our princess." Jupiter hisses, her eyes sizing Nephrite up like he was a piece of meat.
" If you try to hurt her in anyway, I will kill you. All of you." Venus hissed. Stalking over she grabbed Sailor Moon with her good arm.
" We have something to talk about." Venus snarled before stalking away.
Mars lowered her bow and glared before turning and helping Mercury. Both limped off together.
" Damn females." Jadeite snapped, watching Mars limp. " If they would just let us help them."
Kunzite snorted and looked at his friend. He was still, after so many years; impressed with the way that Venus handled herself. " Looks like thy are not babies anymore are they?"
Nephrite and Zoicite burst into laughter. " You got punked!"
Tuxedo Kaman watched Venus hall Sailor Moon off and sighed.
"You guys have a lot of damage control. A lot of it."

Usagi took a seat in one of the wooden chairs in Rei's shrine and weakly smiled.
" You have a lot of explaining to do." Minako growled. Her eyes still held a battle light, and Ami worked over the piece of shrapnel and was mumbling curses under her breath.
" Minako! Why did you not say it was this bad. You muscles have been ripped into several pieces. No wonder you could not move! I can get this shrapnel out, but we are going to need to call Hotaru."
Minako bit her lip, tears in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.
"Not until Usagi explains about the Generals. I refuse to have the outers in on this. This is Inner business."
Usagi looked at there angry voices and she sighed. " The Generals were not always evil. " She glared at Rei when the girl gave off a loud snort.
" They were friends to us." Usagi continued. 'And the love of your lives, but you do not need to know that right now,' " But when the Earth was attacked they sacrificed themselves so Endymion could get away. Beryl brain washed them the way she brain washed Endymion."
Usagi sighed as she looked at her hands, tears hidden in her eyes.
" But when mother sealed Beryl into the Negaverse, they were sealed as well. It wasn't until I destroyed Metallica that they were freed from the grasp."
She looked at them with a firm look. " I even gave them a once over with the Silver Crystal."
Minako looked at Ami, Rei, and Makoto. A message passed through them. Because even now she felt as if they were the Senshi and she the Queen, an invisible barrier went up between them. Light then, but with the ability to grow.
" Fine." Minako said in a low voice. It was evident by the set of her shoulders that she did not agree but was willing to wait. " You may trust them, Usagi, but we do not. If they step out of the line once, we will kill them."
" That is all I can ask for, is a chance." Usagi looked at Minako. " Now lets worry about Minako arms, and Rei's ankle."
Makoto reached for the phone.
