The Sailor Scouts and Darien held an important meeting at Raye's temple the next day. Serena was saddended by the fact that she could now only transform into the originial Sailor Moon. How come she was weak against that monster? Was it the fact that she hasn't been in battle for three years?

Trista, or Sailor Pluto, was in a middle of a conversation with Amara and Michelle, Sailors Uranus and Neptune, when Serena interrupted them. "Do you think your powers will bring back my Super Sailor form?"

"Maybe," Trista said. "We can't really guarantee that the Outer Sailors can do it again. We'll try, my queen."

"How long will it take?"

"As long as takes for your powers to come back completely," Amara said.

A thought ran through Amy's mind. "Hey, guys. Who was that evil Sailor Scout? You know, the one who was responsible for that mantis monster..."

"Her name is Queen Galaxia. She wants to rid the Scouts, overthrow Serena from the throne, and rule the entire universe," Darien explained.

"Why did she join the forces of evil?" Raye asked.

"I know why," Trista said. She had a cold look in her brown eyes. "She was trained under Neo-Queen Serenity in the future. Then the Wiseman brainwashed her before he got the other Negamoon creeps we dealt with many years ago. She believed that she was more superior than the Queen. Then, the two powerful Sailor Scouts got into a battle one-on-one. Sailor Galaxia lost, and she was banished from the Earth forever. She was sent to the unknown world of the universe. Now she wants revenge on you, Serena."

"By altering the future and coming to the past?" Serena asked.

Trista nodded. "Yes."



On Galaxia's spaceship, Mouse approached to her mistress who was in her study. "Your majesty?" she timidly asked. "The clones are almost finished."

"Good. Will they be ready for the training?"

"They should. When should we attack?"

"Tonight." Glaxaia smiled. They won't know what hit them, she thought.



Serena looked at the crescent moon from her bedroom window that night. She had continues flashbacks from her battle the previous day. One thing that bugged her was the fact that when she turned into her original form, her fellow Scouts did too.

Luna snuggled up against her mistress's pink pajama pants. "Don't worry, Serena. I'm sure the Outer Scouts are doing their best to try and bring back the powers you need to defeat this new enemy."

Serena sighed with doubt. "I hope. Or else...Tokyo will see the Silver Millenium too soon." She looked at the sky. A shooting star shot across the bright lights of the city. After the star landed, a great white light appeared with a low rumble.

Luna jumped to her feet. "Serena! It's the Negaverse! Transform now!"

"But- -"

"Serena, just do it! The others will back you up. I'll get the Outer Scouts." Luna ran out of the room, leaving Serena to turn into Sailor Moon.



The white light dimished into darkness. Five dark shadows stood in its place. They had white shirts with black bows and skirts. Their jewelery was black and so were their shoes. Their leader had a blonde "meatball" hairstyle with black stars on her silver ornaments in her meatballs. Another shadow had a black bow in her hair. These suspicious shadows were dark copies of the original Sailor Scouts. However, they were known as the Galaxian Sailor Scouts, defenders of crime and evil.



Sailor Moon got onto her Moon Cycle and drove it to the direction of where that star landed. She found the spot with no problem. A big crater was dug out from the pavement, which gave her a feeling that this wasn't no alien invasion. "If only I didn't have to do this by myself..." she muttered.

"Why? I could get rid of you quite easily and quickly." A familiar voice startled the young heroine. She turned and saw an exact copy of herself. Only this Sailor Moon was in black and white.

"Who are you, and why are you stealing my name and appearance?!"

"I'm Dark Sailor Moon, leader of the Galaxian Sailor Scouts, defender of crime and evil. And you are...?"

"I'm Sailor Moon, the champion of justice, defender of love. I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And you will be moondust, sister!"

"Really? We'll let me introduce you to my friends." The four other Galaxian Sailor Scouts stood behind her. "Meet Dark Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. I assume your friends are bailing out of this fight."

"No we're not!" Sailor Mini Moon jumped in front of the two Sailor Moons. "We would never bail out of anything!" The other four Sailors gathered around their leader.

An evil copy of Sailor Mini Moon also appeared. "So you love your precious leader a lot," she sneered. She pulled out a wand with a black crystal in the center. "Then about tasting your own medicine only darker? Black sugar heart...Attack!" Black hearts pounded onto the Sailor Scouts, which were more painful than Sailor Mini Moon's pink sugar heart attack.

"Dark Mars celestial fire...Surround!" A firewall surrounded the Sailor Scouts. The heat was hotter than Sailor Mars's own fire powers.

"Mercury, put this fire out!" Sailor Moon commanded.

Sailor Mercury did just that. "Mercury bubbles...Blast!" The fire died down some bit, allowing the Scouts to jump over the flames and go outside of the burning wall. "How's that for starters?" Sailor Moon asked.

Dark Sailor Moon was angry. She grabbed her tiara and it glowed black. "Dark Moon tiara...Black magic!" She tossed it to her target, but a red rose knocked it from its path. Tuxedo Mask leaned against a tree with a rose in his hand. "If you, Sailor Moon, are smart enough to realize what could happen if you destroy Dark Sailor Moon with your own magic, you could hurt yourself. Stop this fighting at once."

Dark Sailor Moon glared at him. "Oh yeah? Take this, Cape Boy?" She shot a ball of dark energy at him. He dodged it and disappeard.

Sailor Moon, however, grabbed her scepter. "Moon scepter...Elimination!" Just as she thought she had the evil Sailor Scouts destroyed, they vanished. "I'll come back for you, Sailor Moon!" Dark Sailor Moon's voice boomed from the sky. "You haven't seen the last of me or any of the other Galaxian Sailor Scouts.

"Where did those Scouts come from?" Sailor Jupiter asked.

Tuxedo Mask, who came back, answered her question. "Queen Galaxia wants to destroy the Sailor Scouts by using your evil copies of yourselves. Apparently, they are much stronger than what I imagined."

"Very stonger," Sailor Venus added. "That evil Sailor Mini Moon nearly gave us big bruises!"

"Will they leave?" Sailor Mini Moon asked.

"Not until we have defeated Galaxia," Sailor Moon said.



Galaxia saw her Sailor Scouts coming back from their battle. "Well?"

"They're so weak right now," Dark Sailor Moon said. "Without transforming into Super Sailor Scouts, they're a piece of a cake for us to beat."

"That's what I like to hear." She left the main hall to go to her study, where she would think of the next attack.



Sailor Mini Moon came up beside her future mom. "I'm scared, Sailor Moon. Those Galaxian Sailor Scouts mean trouble, don't they?"

Sailor Moon nodded. "Yeah. I hope we can defeat them."
