Disclaimer: MWAHAHA! I may not own Sailor Moon NOW! But just wait… you'll see…

Four figures stood in the shadows, gazing out into space. They each knew the Crystal Phoenix was somewhere on this planet, so each one was assigned to a quadrant of the planet. All that was needed now was a little patience and a little luck, and they would achieve their final goal. It had been written in the stars for years, ever since the days of the Silver Millennium that the Crystal Phoenix was held on Earth.

A far away solar system, only visible by the naked eye on Pluto's southern pole, was inhabited by a different alliance. Four planets and a few moons were orbiting a large star. These planets and their moons had been at war with each other for years, over the sacred artifact, the Crystal Phoenix. It was a small red gem that held a great power.

Legend told, that once the 3 pieces were reunited, it would become the great Crystal Phoenix once again. A goddess of a moon, Bikarei, misused the power; she murdered thousands and crushed several planets with the Crystal Phoenix. So a god of the largest planet, Shereru, broke the Phoenix Crystal into three pieces and hid them among the stars. The legend continued to state that Bikarei went in search for the pieces and was never seen again.

The legend was taken very seriously by all of the planets and moons, and even today, the main strive of the whole solar system was space exploration. One planet, Reiru, located one of the three pieces, the Angel's Phoenix, on Earth. Four soldiers gather to find this piece and bring it back, no matter who stands in their way.



Mamoru cradled Usagi gently, a bandage on her hand. His tears hit her hair with a soft thud. He slipped his hands around her waist and kissed the back of her head. His thoughts started drifting, wondering how things had gotten so bad. Usagi started to come to, and glanced up at Mamoru, the tears dried on her cheeks.

"Mamo-" Usagi started, but before she could finish even one word, Mamoru's lips were pressed against hers. He ran his fingers through her hair gently. Tears were sliding down both their faces. Usagi broke the kiss off started to pull away, but Mamoru held onto her tight. He kept a firm grip on her waist and kept her close to him.

"Let me go, Mamoru!" Usagi said, thrashing about helplessly.

'The great soldier and future queen of the planet can't even escape from one man…' she though bitterly. She soon grew tired and stopped moving and went limp in his arms. He kept her in a snug embrace, trying to reassure her.

"Usagi, please… I love you… you know that. Trust me." He said, keeping his voice low and soothing. She wanted to say no, she wanted to argue, but her body wouldn't let her. She felt so incredibly tired and didn't have the energy to put up a fight. Mamoru picked her up and set her on her bed as Usagi drifted off to sleep. Just as Mamoru sat down to look after his love, the phone rang. He picked it up to hear a familiar voice on the other end.

"Moshi moshi?" Mamoru called into the phone with a sigh.

"Mamoru-san?"

"Makoto-san, kobanwa. Daijoubo desu ka? Usagi's asleep." Mamoru replied, his eyes moving to the bed as he spoke.

"I'm alright, Mamoru-san…though the other girls aren't doing too well. Is Usagi ok?" Makoto asked, twirling the cord in her hand.

"Usagi's… a bit exhausted, but she'll be fine. So, any particular reason you called?" Mamoru asked, his eyes still on Usagi.

"Hai, Ami called me, apparently she's found some readings. There seems to be a strong aura around Tokyo Tower today… bad vibes. Plus, that's the main area the youma have been appearing in."

"Is it ok if Usagi sits this one out? Could we call the outer senshi in?"

"I'm sure Usagi needs her rest more than any of us, I'll call the outer senshi right away."

"Arigatou, Makoto-san… ja ne"

"Ja."

Mamoru hung up the phone and walked out of the apartment.
