Galaxia waited impatiently for her ten Galaxian Sailor Scouts. She was furious when they finally arrived. "I wanted to have those Sailor Scouts defeated a long time ago. What are you doing? Dragging our plan to take over the universe longer than it has to be?! Those Scouts could have been dead now!"
Dark Sailor Moon knelt down before the angry queen. "Your majesty, we have just begun this war with our counterparts. You do not know what we can do if they grow stronger."
"Tell me what happens."
"As their level increases, ours do too. Whatever happens to them happens to us. Right now, the Scouts are trying to bring back Sailor Moon's superior level back to her so she can become Super Sailor Moon. I, on the other hand, will receive the same level, attacks, and powers, only darker and stronger. I then will become Shadow Sailor Moon."
"In other words, you become the evil side of Super Sailor Moon?" Galaxia asked.
"Yes."
"Carry on with your plan...Maybe waiting is worthwhile after all."
Sailors Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn worked hard to bring back the superior transformation brooch back to normal. Serena, who watched with doubt, sighed. "How long will it take?" she asked.
"As long as it takes to receive the strength and powers it needs," Sailor Uranus replied. She sent a wave of her powers into the brooch.
"Can it handle all 4 powers of the Outer Sailor Scouts?"
"It worked with 3 many years ago, Serena. 3 wasn't enough to recover from the damage that Mantisa caused a few days ago. Since you haven't been fighting for such a long time, it'll take like forever for you to become Super Sailor Moon again," Sailor Neptune explained.
Serena walked out of the spare room in Raye's temple. She sat outside listening to the birds and looked down at the ground.
Rini came up to and sat next to her. "Don't worry, Serena. You'll have your superior powers back to normal."
"Why can't you help them?" Serena asked.
"Because I'll get in the way."
"Says who?"
"The older Outer Scouts...Well mainly Amara and Michelle. Trista and Hotaru have no say about it."
"Thanks for the encouragement."
Back in the spare room, Trista detransformed from her Sailor Pluto suit into her purple dress with white and red lacings. "I have some work to do," she said as she walked out the door.
"What kind of work?" asked Sailor Saturn.
Sailors Uranus and Neptune shrugged their shoulders.
Serena was talking to her friend Molly later that afternoon. They were discussing about boyfriends and college when Molly had some great news. "Serena, there's this band called Three Lights who is coming to our old high school tonight! Do you and your friends want to come?"
Serena hesitated. "Well, it is short notice..."
"Serena this is one of your favorite groups! Besides, you do have a thing for Seiya, the lead singer."
Serena blushed when she heard her friend mention the truth. "I'll ask my mom."
"It's a free concert..."
"Still, I'll have to ask Mom first. Then, I'll see if any of my friends would like to go."
"Okay!"
"Are you nuts, meatball head?! This is not Sailor Scout business!" Raye freaked out when her leader of the Sailor Scouts asked her if she wanted to go to the concert. "If the Negaverse attacks, where will you be? At a concert, of course! You'll be drooling all over the cute boys and ignoring your little scanner if we need to page you! Besides, I hate Three Lights."
Serena frowned. "Well, Amy?"
"Raye is right..."
"See?! I told you so." Raye immaturely stuck out her tongue.
"This is not Sailor business after all. Yet, what if the Negaverse attacks at the high school during the concert. The Scouts will be need there. And I do like Three Lights myself. Of course, I'll go."
Serena shot back at Raye by sticking out her tongue. "See?! I told you so."
"Will you two knock it off?" Artemis, the white guardian cat, asked.
"Count me in, Serena!" Lita said.
"Me too," Mina agreed.
Raye's frustration was getting harder to control. "So now everybody's going to this stupid concert. Well, I'll be in my room doing some fire readings. Maybe I'll fight off the Negaverse alone after all!" With that said, she slammed her door in front of her Sailor friends.
"Well, that went well," Luna said.
"Sure. I have no problem with you going to see a band without me," Darien said outside of his apartment door.
"Are you sure?" Serena asked.
"Of course. Besides, the boys of Three Lights get along with me just great. You better tell Diamond that you won't be home until later tonight. I'm sure he'll want to talk to you."
"I'm starting to head over to his place now." She started to walk to the elevator door. "Bye!" She waved at Darien and pressed the button inside the elevator for floor number 1.
A few hours before the concert Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki came off the stage right after their soundcheck session. The three men ran into their manager backstage who was wearing a purple dress with white and red lacings. Seiya spoke up. "Hello, Trista."
"Hello. I am glad that you three made it back safely. We now must talk about what's been happening. I summounded you from the future for a reason." Without anyone else looking, she cried out "Pluto Star Power" and became Sailor Pluto within seconds. She transported herself to the mists near the gates of time. She brought along three Sailor Scouts that were very different from the other Scouts. Their outfits were black and practically showed a lot of skin unlike the normal sailor suits. The black-headed leader of the three mysterious Sailors resembled Seiya, the lead singer of the Three Lights. A brown-haired soldier was supposedly Taiki, and the Scout with the white hair could have been Yaten. All three women had the sides of their hair cut like men, but they also wore ponytails in the back.
"What do you need this time," the dark-haired leader, Sailor Star Fighter, asked.
"I need you to help the Sailor Scouts to save the world from the dreaded Sailor Galaxia. She has made 10 clones of all 10 Scouts, including me," Sailor Pluto explained.
"Galaxia?" the light-headed Sailor Star Healer asked with confusion. "Isn't she banished?"
"She was until she managed to travel through time. Now I'm afraid the Silver Millenium will come too soon."
"I don't know if we can get along with the other Scouts," Sailor Star Fighter muttered. "They might think we're one of her spies."
"Sailor Moon will know that you're helping her and not harming her. I'll see to it."
Sailor Star Maker shook her head causing the brown hair in her ponytail to whiplash her neck. "I agree with Sailor Star Fighter. We do look suspicious, being different in both fashion and gender sense."
Sailor Pluto stepped forward. "None of the Scouts are supposed to know your true idnetities! You will not associate them in a group like theirs. Just keep everything cool and make them still believe that you are pop music idols in the band called Three Lights." A blinding flash surrounded the four Scouts and disappeared. They returned to the backstage area of the stage as Trista and the three men.
Seiya nodded his head. "Consider it done. We will not take part of their meetings until it is safe for them to know about us." He snapped his fingers and the men walked off backstage into their dressing room.
The line outside Juuban High School was long and very crowded. Serena, Molly, Amy, Lita, and Mina waited impatienly for the line to keep on moving. "Ugh, hurry up, will ya?" Serena asked.
"Serena, calm down," Amy said.
"I'm just kinda glad Raye is not here. Or else she'll be nagging about my complaining the whole time."
"Now would I do that, meatball head?!" Raye was standing behind her friend. Serena looked at her and blushed with total embarrassment. "I'm starting to nag about your stupidity!"
"I thought you had some fire readings to do," Mina said.
"I did. It said that I should go here. I think the Negaverse is planning something during the concert."
Molly, who knew about the Scouts, shrugged her shoulders. "Who knows? They always come in at an unexpected time."
Darien and Diamond walked through Tokyo around the same time. When they past the high school, they laughed as they saw Serena and Raye bickering. "I take a guess that those two are always fighting," Diamond commented.
"Yeah. I'm surprised Raye is here. She doesn't like the band that's playing tonight."
"That's weird all right." A weird rush of energy went through both men's heads at once. "Did you feel that, Dairen?"
"Yeah. It's the Negaverse. We must be prepared." Darien pulled out a red rose from his coat pocket. "This could be dangerous."
Diamond nodded in agreement. "Let's go."
The line finally calmed down, and everyone found their seats. When Three Lights came on stage, the girls screamed their names. Seiya took center stage where his microphone was located. Serena screamed "I love you, Seiya" really loud...So loud it nearly made Raye lose her hearing. Yaten started playing an intro to a song on his keybords while Taiki played chords on his guitar.
"I can barely hear the music," Amy whispered to Serena.
"What?! I can't hear you!"
"My point exactly," Amy muttered.
"This is so cool," Serena sighed. It wasn't too long that an explosion came from the roof of the school. An evil female monster that resembled more of a banshee came down on stage and approached Three Lights. "You call that singing?" she asked. "I'll show you what it really is." She was just doing more that singing. She was screaming to the top of her lungs. People ran as the ceiling of the auditorium was ready to fall.
Raye was prepared to fight. "I told you I sensed something evil. Mars star power!" Within a second, Sailor Mars appeared just in time to fight. "Well, guys?"
"We're moving," Serena groaned. "Moon crystal power!"
"Mercury star power!"
"Jupiter star power!"
"Venus star power!" Serena, Amy, Lita, and Mina all transformed into the other Sailor Scouts.
Meanwhile, Darien and Diamond entered the auditorium through the back door. Just as they went through the backstage area they heard a long, loud scream from the stage. "Sounds like the Negaverse is attacking," Diamond commented.
"They are." Darien immediately transformed himself into Tuxedo Mask. Diamond's street clothes soon turned into his former white outfit. Darien pushed the white mask on his face back up. "Let's go."
The banshee screamed and screamed her song. The Scouts got down onto their knees. If only the Outer Scouts were here, Sailor Moon thought.
"We can't defeat her!" Sailor Venus yelled. "She's too strong."
"She drowned all of our attacks," Sailor Jupiter said.
"We got to try...Somehow," Sailor Moon insisted.
In their dressing room, Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki were hoping the Scouts would save them. Yaten broke the silence when a thought came into his head. "I just remembered that we should help the other Sailor Scouts. Come on, Seiya. What do you say?"
"Wait."
"Wait?!" asked Taiki.
"The time is not right to go out as Sailor Scouts and save the others."
"We must!" Yaten pleaded. "The banshee is weakening the Scouts." He pulled out his transformation pen. "Healer star power!"
Taiki did the same. "Maker star power!" The two band mates transformed in Sailors Star Maker and Healer and rushed out of the room. Seiya was left behind, but he thought he should help too. I must be crazy, he thought as he followed the other two Scouts out of the room.
Dark Sailor Moon laughed on the catwalk above the stage as she watch the Sailor Scouts suffer through the banshee's music. "Silly Sailors! You can't get away from the music of the legendary banshee!"
"You want to bet?" Two dark figures stood in the darkness to her right. A red rose was thrown and landed at her feet. "You!" she hissed. "What are you two brats doing here? Shouldn't you be groveling like your girls?"
One figure pulled out a diamond sword. "Grovel?" He muttered. "We don't grovel for mercy." He swung his sword at the evil Sailor Moon but missed. She jumped onto the catwalk's railing and kicked him in his stomach. "Well, you should," she shot back.
Tuxedo Mask threw a rose and stuck her left cheek. A small trickle of blood ran down her pale face. "Stop the banshee and let the Scouts go," he demanded.
Dark Sailor Moon shook her head. "I don't think I can do that." She released a ball of dark energy which sent both Tuxedo Mask and Prince Diamond flying. They hit the iron walkway hard and were unconscious for awhile. "That should take care of them," she muttered.
The banshee screamed and screamed until a whip wrapped around her neck and was tightened to make her choke. Sailor Moon saw three mysterious Sailor Scouts in black suits who looked like the feminine side of Three Lights. "Who are you," she asked.
"I am Sailor Star Fighter," the leader who was holding the whip replied. "The white one is Sailor Star Healer, and the brown-haired one is Sailor Star Maker. We are here to help. Time for you to take care of this business, Sailor Moon." The whip was loosened, but the banshee struggled to breathe.
Sailor Moon took out her scepter. "Moon scepter elimination!" she cried as the monster was soon destroyed.
Dark Sailor Moon gritted her teeth in frustration. The two princes regained conscience and pinned her down to the railing of the catwalk. "We got you now," Tuxedo Mask said. But it was too late. The evil Scout disappeared into thin air.
"Are you here to join the team?"
"No, Sailor Moon," Sailor Star Fighter replied. "We can't allow that to happen. But we can help you if you are ever in great trouble. We prefer to go solo as a trio."
"But- -?"
"No. We will not join your team unless it's in battle." The three Starlights left without saying another word.
"Do they look familiar to you, Sailor Moon?" Sailor Venus asked.
"Yeah. They sure do."
"Are they spies from the Negaverse," Sailor Mercury asked.
"No. They're too nice to be evil."
The concert was rescheduled for a later date after the previous night's incident. Molly felt bad about leaving Serena and their friends to fight alone, but she knew that they could kick major Nega-butts. Darien even talked to Serena at her house and invited her for the next Three Lights concert.
"Well..."
"Come on, Serena. I'll take you alone!"
"Okay. Just let me ask my dad." Darien didn't need Serena to tell him the answer. Just hearing Kent's booming voice in the house made him nervous. "No! You will not go out with him and see that concert!"
Serena ran back outside and shut the door on her father. "Well, you heard the man."
"It's okay. Maybe later?"
"Yeah....That's a good idea!"
Trista found Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki on their tourbus outside of the venue. "You did good, my students," she said with a smile.
"Just doing a good deed," Seiya replied. He was glad that the Sailor Star Scouts were ready to go one more time.
