Ch.3

Hello Mr. Emperor.

It had been 9 years since Eternal Sailor Moon had been invited to the Imperial Palace for an audience with the Emperor, and she figured this visit was long overdue. After she had entered the Palace with little resistance, Eternal Sailor Moon finally made it all the way to the main office complex before being stopped by security. The young security officer demanded that she leave or he would arrest her immediately. Usagi gave the young man a puzzled look; after all, nobody else had refused her entry into the facilities so why is this kid making such a fuss? "I need to speak with the Emperor right now", ESM said to the young man. "Hey; just who do you think you are lady"? "You can't just come in here and demand to see the emperor like this; and where did you get that costume anyway, my little sister has one that looks more convincing than yours"! Usagi was once again at a loss; this young man had no clue who she was! (This kid must have been too young to remember what happened 10 years ago, I guess I'll just have to convince him that I'm the original)! ESM closed her eyes and searched his body for a moment, finally finding that his knee had been broken many years ago and still caused him pain. "I am sorry for the pain you suffered when you were young, if I heal your knee, will that convince you that I'm the real article"? "Hey, go for it lady, I'd love to see you make a fool of yourself before I drag you off to jail"! "Very well then". ESM closed her eyes and in an instant, her Tier appeared out of nowhere and she grabbed it up and started into her routine. She held it up high and shouted, "Silver moon,. crystal power kiss"! The Tier began to radiate its warm healing light, and the young guard was overcome with a feeling of ecstasy as his old injury was quickly healed and the pain left forever. After a moment of wonder, the guard apologized to ESM and quickly notified his superiors that Eternal Sailor Moon needed to speak with the Emperor immediately.

ESM was quickly escorted into the Emperor's private office and found herself momentarily alone until the Emperor entered the room. ESM began to bow to her Emperor but was quickly cut off by the Emperor bowing even lower to her. "Please excuse my security staff, many of them are too young to remember very much about what you and your comrades have done for our nation. Usagi graciously accepted his apology and the two of them sat on his couch to discuss the impending crisis. After a few hours of explanations and discussion, they had worked out a plan for the deployment of the Japanese security forces in an attempt to impede or stop the forces of this Demon queen when she attempts to invade the city.

Usagi finally closed the door to her home and leaned up against the solid door that shut out the rest of the world and felt relieved. No sooner had she closed her eyes than she was surprised by all her friends greeting her and escorting her to the dinning room for an impromptu feast prepared by the world famous Chef Makoto! At the dinner table Usagi forgot all about her worries and was her old self again, wolfing down Makoto's great food and gossiping with all her friends about the most recent hot rumors she had heard through the Bakery. After they had eaten, all the Senshi gathered in the living room to go over their own plans for the coming battles and discussed all the viable options that they may need to fall back on in case of emergencies.
