Setsuna sat, dressed in civilian clothes, on Mamoru's couch as Yaten took his sweet time in getting ready. Taiki had been there for a half an hour and nothing was said. Four pairs of sleep deprived eyes looked up as they heard the apartment door open. Seiya's sagging shoulders and sad features, were what that saw.

"Ohayo, Seiya-kun," Mamoru said. Setsuna was quiet and she nodded softly up at him. He sat next to Taiki on the couch and sighed heavily.

Taiki looked over at him, "Seiya?"

"Hai?"

"Are you going to be alright?"

Seiya thought for a moment, "Hai… as soon as we get her back."

Setsuna showed the first sign of any emotion since she got here. Empathy. She looked up at him sadly, "Gomen, Seiya-san…"

He was surprised to hear her talk in such a way and blushed slightly, "Thank you, Setsuna-san."

"I'm ready!" Yaten said as he walked from the hallway. Everyone turned to glare at him.

"About time!" Luna snipped, "I swear you take longer then any girl I've known!"

Yaten rolled his eyes, "Sometimes I need to be pampered, I'm a delicate human being," He said waving his hand in the air to dismiss her comment.

Setsuna didn't seem the least bit amused. She crossed her arms tightly over her chest and glared at him, her red eyes nearly shooting lightning bolts. "Yaten-san, you are a Senshi! Have you know sense of responsibility!?" She'd lost her temper now.

This comment, however sharp, seemed to work. Yaten immediately blushed and sat down. Setsuna glared at him again before turning to the entire group.

"Luna and I have been talking, and we have a good feeling that Xavier is going to detect us awakening Sailor Uranus. One way… or another."

"Hai," Luna spoke, "There are several way that he could detect her awakening… one is simply by the fact that the surge of magical energy given off is immense. The other is if… well…" Luna blushed. Setsuna looked confusedly at her. Why was Luna having such a hard time with this?

"The other way is that Serenity lets off a surge of power, and this could be detected by Xavier. However he would have to be close to her," Setsuna spoke.

"Close to her?" Seiya and Mamoru questioned at the same time, "What do you mean?" They paused for a moment to glare at each other.

"In some kind of physical contact with her," Luna blushed and looked away.

"NANI!?" Mamoru and Seiya jumped from their positions. "Such as!?"

Setsuna was completely calm as she spoke, "A touch, a kiss… anything of the sort."

"A KISS!?" They yelled again. Funny how different they were usually… and how alike they were sometimes.

"Do you actually think that Xavier won't try to … seduce Serenity?" Setsuna was being practical.

"Well… I mean…" Mamoru stumbled.

"Hell if Mamoru tried it what's to keep Xavier from trying it?" Seiya glared at Mamoru as he blushed.

"Mamoru!?" Luna yelped.

"I can't help it! I love her!" Mamoru immediately knew his mistake in choice of wording. Everyone stared at him, and Seiya looked as though he wanted to kill him.

"What? You WHAT!? I HARDLY-"

"STOP!" Setsuna yelled, "We don't have time for this unfruitful feuding! Yell at each other on your own time! Right now we need to go."

Everyone stared at each other for a long time before any action was made.

Seya rose his fist to bang lightly at the door. There was the sound of footsteps and the door opened to reveal a masculine looking woman.

"Konnichiwa Seiya-kun. Konnichiwa… minna-san," She said in her deep voice. Her eyes drifted around to stare at several unfamiliar faces.

"Konnichiwa Haruka-kun. Is Michiru around?"

"No why?" Haruka looked confused by all the strange faces. And the solemn feeling in the air.

"I have some news…" Seiya chose his words carefully, "You may was to sit down for it…"

"I'M A WHAT!?" Haruka yelled, her mouth hanging open in surprise. "This is not funny, Seiya-kun! Is this some kind of sick joke?"

Seiya looked appalled, "No! Of course not! I would never joke with stuff like this!" Haruka glared at him.

"So what do you mean by 'Sailor Senshi'?"

Setsuna spoke up, "As in one of the powerful planetary senshi to protect the Sol Solar system."

"Yeah?" Her voice was sardonic as she snipped at Setsuna. "If I'm some 'powerful Sailor Senshi' How come I don't remember a blasted thing about some stupid princess and shit like that?" Haruka snipped again. She was… confused and angry. This stupid little joke was pissing her off.

"A side effect of the spell…" The cat spoke, "You're memories were blocked from you until the princess is awakened."

"What the… Seiya-kun, do you know your cat talks?" She stared at the black thing steadily, unblinking.

"Yes… yes, I do."

"Just… Just thought I'd check…" Haruka now went into her state of shock.

"Haruka-kun," Seiya said, "You are Sailor Uranus… we need you… your princess is in deep peril. Please… let me awaken your memories and you energy," This pleading comment coming from Setsuna. She looked a Haruka sadly.

"What will happen to me?" Haruka questioned.

"Nothing… there will be… a pain of some sort, but all your energy will be restored to you," Setsuna spoke quietly.

"Power?" The cat spoke again, "Aren't memories supposed to be returned also?"

"Hm? No. Of course not… I mean…. Some memories can start to surface as a side effect… but all-in-all only when the princess regains her memory will the others follow."

Luna let out a very audible string of cursing, "What half-witted queen thought this up!?" Luna received a glare from Setsuna, but she brushed it off.

"So what am I supposed to do?" Haruka questioned, she seemed nervous and her hands were shaking furiously in her lap.

"Nothing… I will transform," Setsuna rose to her feet and called out her henshin phrase, "Pluto Planet Power MAKE UP!"

Swirls of a water-looking magical dust swarmed around her nude body as bits and pieces of her fuku appeared on her. Haruka was entranced by the whole mystical air of it all.

After several seconds, Sailor Pluto stood in her tiny fuku with a staff in her right hand. Haruka looked her up and down then glared into her garnet eyes.

"Tell me I'm not wearing something like that?" She said, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm Sorry, Haruka-san, but this is standard uniform for all Sailor Senshi," Pluto responded.

"Hey… at least I am not in one of the Sailor Starlight fuku… I swear it must be half of what you're wearing…"

"Hey," Yaten said, "Our fuku isn't bad…"

Haruka raised an eyebrow, "You're living in your own delusion."

"Enough of this," Pluto spoke, irritated, "Come here, Haruka-san."

Haruka stood up and took several steps forward as Setsuna rose her staff and touched Haruka's forehead with the glowing, garnet orb…

Usagi's whole body felt considerably numb. Feeling and memories swarmed through her mind, a dull ring passed over her ears, drowning out all noise. Her stomach churned and she fell to her knees coughing. A small steam of blood flowed from her mouth, staining the floor.

'I have to get up…' Pushing herself up, she stumbled back to her room, using the wall for support. As she found her door, she pushed it open to reveal two maids cleaning her room.

"Princess!" They both yelled in their funny sounding accents.

"I need some water…" Usagi said, trying to remove the elaborate gown.

"Right away, princess!" One yelled, she ran off quickly as the second maid undressed Usagi.

Usagi's body was racked with convulsions of pain and distress. Something was wrong… what was doing this to her…

Haruka rubbed a burning spot in her forehead harshly. It itched furiously and gave her a searing headache.

"What the hell is that?" she said, rubbing the burning spot some more.

"Your emblem," Pluto said calmly, "Stop rubbing it, it will fade away eventually." She batted at Haruka's hand.

"Jeez…" Haruka huffed, taking her hand away. She took a second look at the woman in front of her. Pluto had de-transformed into Setsuna again. "What happened?" Haruka questioned.

Setsuna looked calm, as if she expected the sudden change. "Bringing back your energy has temporarily drained me of mine." Setsuna sat down on Haruka's couch calmly, looking a little fatigued.

"Are you going to be alright?" Seiya questioned.

"Yes… I'll be just fine…" She held a hand to her forehead.

"Are you sure?" Taiki questioned.

"Yes… maybe you should finish answering Haruka-san's questions…"

Haruka made a face, "Well that'll take all night anyway… I do have one question though…"

"Nani?"

"Who was this woman… I saw her when Setsuna touched me with the staff. she had long blonde hair… I felt… drawn to her some how. She seemed so important… almost like my own child…" Haruka looked down quietly, "That was her, wasn't it?"

Seiya nodded solemnly, "Serenity…" Tears entered his eyes at the loss and worry of his beloved princess.

"It will be fine, Seiya…" Luna said.

"And you…" Haruka said, "Luna… guardian of the princess…"

Luna blushed, "So some of your memory is returning?"

Haruka placed a hand on her forehead, "Bits and pieces… it's like half a piece of a five thousand piece puzzle…"

"I know it's hard," Taiki spoke, "But it'll come back."

Haruka seemed distressed, but nodded slowly.

Usagi cried out… there was a deep pain ripping through her body as a fever began to settle in her system. She barely recognized Xavier standing next to her.

"Serenity?" He questioned, taking her cold hand.

"Mm?" She groaned, forcing her eyes open.

"You'll be just fine, Serenity. Rest… I'll be back later," Xavier bent down and kissed her burning forehead. Then turned and walked out of her room.

A woman stood at attention in the center of the hall, her hands clasped tightly behind her back. She was dressed in a dark scarlet uniform, and her brown hair was tied in a ponytail at the nape of her neck. Her yellow eyes locked onto Xavier's own ice one's.

"General Kaoraan? What seems to be the matter?" Xavier questioned.

"My lord… we seem to have made a discovery…" her voice said, choosing her words carefully.

"What?" Xavier was concerned by the tone of her voice.

"It seems that another one of the Sol senshi have awakened."

Xavier's mouth dropped, his mind suddenly cluttered. "What?"

"My lord… they're after Serenity."

"Who is it?"

"Uranus… or so our sources tell us…"

"Damnit!" Xavier swore under his breath.

"My lord… this is going to get out of control if action isn't taken."

"I refuse for them to take Serenity away!" Xavier yelled, slamming his fist into his hand angrily.

"My lord… I can… take care of them."

Xavier looked at her with mild surprise, "I don't know… I'd hate to lose my best general … however…" he glanced back to Usagi's closed door, "Proceed."

Kaoraan crossed one arm over her chest and bowed deeply in salute. "I will not fail." Then she turned on her heel and walked away.

Haruka looked at the six beings in front of her. "So how are we supposed to know if this really worked?"

"When we are attacked," Seiya said, glancing worriedly at Setsuna. Her eyes were heavy as was her breath. She looked exhausted.

Haruka made a face, "Nani? When we're attacked? What's that all about?"

"Well… I mean… being a senshi has it's price…" Taiki looked at her confusedly, "You didn't think that you didn't have to fight?"

Haruka looked surprised, "Well… no. I mean I expected to fight, but from what you told me, Xavier has … Serenity. Why would he come after the senshi?"

"Xavier… isn't only after the princess… he has a personal score to settle with the whole Sol system it's self…" Setsuna heaved out, her breath raspy. She seemed to get worse by the second.

"What is it?" Haruka questioned.

"No one … really knows … except the princess … and the queen …" She heaved again.

"Rest, Setsuna-san," Luna said, "I'll explain it too them."

"Hai…"

"The princess's memories are trapped… we must find all the senshi… when they are woken… so too will the princess wake. Then we must rescue her."

"It sounds… confusing…"

Luna blushed, "It is…"

"We'll be able to get her back… won't we?" Mamoru questioned, "I'm worried about her…"

"Worried for your toy?" Seiya hissed.

Mamoru glared at him angrily, "Toy? I love her more then you'll ever know!"

Seiya jumped to his feet and stared down at Mamoru, "BULLSH-"

"Seiya! Mamoru! Stop it! Now!" Luna yelled. Haruka looked curiously at her friend and Mamoru-san. She never knew Seiya to pick fights, let alone be that violent.

Mamoru glared at Seiya as he sat back down. Seiya glared back, the only thought in his mind being, 'You don't love her… not like I do'.

"Everyone… let's just settle down… we've got a lot to do and little time to do it in," Taiki spoke reasonably. Seiya nodded slowly, as did Mamoru.

Luna nodded, "Good… now-" Luna stopped suddenly as her eyes unfocused quickly. With the same rapidity, her eyes became focused again, "Attack!"

Haruka found herself running at top speed to keep up with the four nibble men in front of her. Her breath caught harshly in her throat. Even though she was in good shape, there was a distinct determination about the four men that gave them pure drive.

Finally they came to an abrupt stop, in front of a trail of what looked like black flower petals. There was an acrid scent that wafted through the air. Haruka felt slightly sick to her stomach.

"What is this?" She questioned.

"A phage…" Yaten hissed, "Better transform."

"Transform…?" Haruka looked anything but pleased.

"Hai," Taiki spoke up, "Just say: Uranus Planet Power Make-Up."

"Ah…"

Seiya wasted no time, "Fighter Star Power MAKE-UP!" In a flash of red lights and golden stars, the handsome man had turned into a very pretty woman. She was dressed in tight leather shorts, leather thigh-high boots, a leather bikini top with a sailor collar, leather three quarter length gloves, and a golden headband finished off the eccentric outfit.

"Ikimashou*!" She yelled in her higher, more feminine voice. (*Let's Go)

"Hai!" Taiki and Yaten followed Seiya's move.

"Healer Star Power…" Yaten started.

"Maker Star Power…" Taiki began.

"MAKE-UP!" they both finished, yelling. Taiki was swarmed by golden stars and blue lights also. When the effects had subsided, Sailor Star Maker stood there in the same attire as Fighter.

Yaten was swarmed by green magic and golden stars. He also was transformed into Sailor Star Healer, battle-ready.

Tuxedo Kamen had taken a rose from his jacket, and in a quick flash of white light, he had been redressed in a crisp tuxedo complete with a top hat, white gloves, a red-lined cape, and a white mask that hid his features.

"Come on, Haruka-kun!" Fighter yelled.

Nervously Haruka yelled out in a shaky voice, "Uranus Star Power Make-up!" Golden light poured over her body as a strange feeling passed over her. Things began to reappear in her memory a surge of immense power drenched her soul.

All the golden light disappeared and Haruka was redressed in a fuku very similar to Sailor Pluto's. Her skirt however was a navy blue, as was her sailor collar. A yellow bow was attached very uncomfortably at the small of her back, and the high-heeled boots were anything but nice. High heels just weren't really Haruka's thing.

"Haruka… you actually look like a woman in that fuku," Fighter said, still finding time to joke with her friend.

"Funny," Haruka shot back, "I was going to say the same thing about you…"

Luna looked up angrily at the two, "We don't have time for this! The phage is attacking! Go save the city!"

The five looked at each other, shrugged and ran off. Luna shook her head and sighed exasperatedly at the retreating figures. "Superheroes…"

"So what am I supposed to do?" Haruka yelled as they ran to where the phage was.

"You'll know! Or you should… after you've transformed!" Fighter yelled back. Haruka thought for a moment.

"Attack?" She questioned.

"Yeah… You'll know! Have some faith!"

"Faith is not my strong point!"

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" There was a swarm of people running directly into their path. Some of them stopped suddenly and gawked at the strange beautiful women and one stunning man.

"We must be close!" Healer yelled, dodging a stand-stiller. He seemed perfectly thrilled to have seen a skimpily dressed woman in the midst of this terror.

"I feel naked!" Haruka yelled, growling slightly at a stand-stiller next to her.

"It's natural! Just keep those sexy legs moving Uranus!" Fighter laughed out toward her friend. Haruka growled at her.

"Remind me to kill you later, okay?" She yelled.

Suddenly they stopped dead. There was a very seductive looking woman covered in black flower petals. Her skin was a pale, sickening white, and her lips and eyes were blood red. Platinum-blonde hair made her look even stranger.

"What in hell is that?" Haruka stared at the beautiful and strange thing in front of her.

"That… is a phage. Stay on your guard!" Maker hissed, bending forward slightly in a battle-ready position.

"I am Hikari…" It hissed reaching out for Uranus with it's clawed hands.

"Bitch!" Haruka yelled. Without thinking she said the first thing that came to her mind, "WORLD SHAKING!" Throwing her fist at the ground, there was a slight rumple and a ball of immense power went rolling towards the phage. It ran into her, smacking her off her feet.

Hikari hissed with a snake-like tongue before she stood up and rose her hands at the five figures. "HELL STORM!" She shrieked as storms of black flower petals were thrown at the quintet.

"MOVE!" Kamen yelled, throwing his cape around himself to shield him from the razor edges of the deadly flower petals.

"AIIIIII!" Haruka yelled, covering a large gash in her arm with a gloved hand.

"Healer! Now!" Kamen yelled through the storm.

Healer nodded and stood up against the razor petals. "Star Sensitive Inferno!!" Her hand flew out as a star appeared in it and the power flew out at the Phage, attacking it and sending it back to the hell it came from.

Everyone rejoined into a group again. Fighter had a small cut across her cheek as she looked at the four others, "Is everyone alright?"

"I've got a cut on my arm, but I'm okay…" Haruka said, still holding her upper arm, "It'll heal."

"I'm fine…"

"Are you? Well, that's a pity." Said a cool, harsh voice behind the five. They whipped around to view a pretty woman with long brown hair and very odd-looking yellow eyes. She was dressed in a flowing gown of reds, oranges, and yellows. She looked very much like a living flame.

"Who are you!?" Kamen hissed stepping forward. She looked at him calmly.

"General Kaoraan," She was calm as she spoke to them, "Some one I'm sure you won't forget!" With a crack of red lightning, she had vanished.

"Who is she…?" Fighter looked up at the dark, cloudy sky.

"I have a feeling that is one of Xavier's … pawns…" Maker said solemnly.

"Usako…" Kamen whispered.
