"Kanshisha, huh?" Asked Haruka.
"Yes. I think we'd better check it out." Michiru responded. It was strange. Okugi was a kind person, but yet at times... there was something about him she didn't like. She was sure he had negative energy in him.
The pair strolled along the sidewalk and into their apartment. "Let's try looking for the information under a hundred mile radius." Michiru continued.
"Good idea." Haruka agreed.
* * * A Few Days Later...
"Odango-Atama, where's Makoto?" Asked Rei. She tapped her foot impatiently. "She was supposed to be here for the meeting an hour ago!"
"At that dojo in Mugen. She's been going there for a week now. I'm really worried about her. I think something's wrong." Usagi said worriedly.
"I think she's just preparing for the next fight. She didn't fair so well last time." Rei remarked.
"I guess..."
"Hey guys." Haruka said. With her were Michiru, Setsuna, Hotaru, and Kouhi. They walked through the door and joined the Inner Senshi.
"Something wrong?" Minako inquired.
"Not really. Last week we confronted Okugi. He's actually an American Police Officer. He used to - and still does - work for the Silver Millennium. That explains everything, doesn't it?" Haruka chuckled. "Looks like we got it totally backward this time. Oh well... Anyway, we checked up on some records and he's telling the truth. His name is Sargent Okugi Kanshisha. He's working with Lieutenant Seishou, Hidama and Captain Seidan, Hinshi."
"Really?! Than why doesn't he work with us?" Usagi exclaimed.
"We don't know what we're up against. AND we don't have the power." Haruka pointed out.
"True..."
"Speaking of which, Ami did you ever get that brooch of yours to work?" Michiru glanced at the blue locket hooked onto her bow, like Usagi. It had once again become globe-shaped, the points of the star hidden inside the brooch.
"No..." Ami said sadly. She unpinned it from her uniform and gripped it into her hand. "I still can't get it to work. The only reason I can think of is because I'm doing something wrong. But I don't know WHAT."
"If you can't transform..." Usagi hesitated.
"I can still help!" Insisted Ami.
"And what about Sailor Luna?" Asked Mamoru.
"Well..." Began Setsuna, "We still don't know a lot about her. Not even her identity."
"I wonder... Could Sailor Luna be Okugi?" Usagi mused.
"WHAT?! Are you CRAZY?!" both Inners and Outers were shocked by her suggestion.
"Seriously! Could Okugi be Sailor Luna?" She persisted.
"Well... it is a thought." Ami stated.
"Yes but... He's a GUY!" Rei protested.
"Is he?" Haruka countered.
"Umm..." Rei didn't have an answer.
Ami thought about it. But to her surprise, she couldn't remember clearly. The words? Perfectly. The emotions? Just fine. His complexion? Vaguely. It was very strange. "He could be like the Starlight's." She added.
"True... the hair style is the same, too. They appeared about the same time also." Kouhi played with her hair, absently.
"But Okugi said himself that he wasn't a Senshi!" Michiru complained.
"Yeah..." Minako growled. " Compared to KILLING people, lying is NOTHING."
"WHAT?!"
"Sailor Luna DESTROYS Pure Hearts, remember?"
"Yeah but..." An argument broke out.
"HEY! QUIET!" yelled Mamoru. "We're not getting anywhere like this. Ami? Why don't you see if Sailor Luna and Okugi match up on your computer?" Mamoru offered.
"Yeah!" "Sounds good..." "Okay!" The Senshi commented.
"Good idea!" Ami exclaimed. She stuffed her hand into her pocket and began researching the possibility.
* * *
"Akuma! Find the person named Makoto Kino and get her Pure Heart!" Devin ordered.
The Akuma Stone glowed slightly as it searched for its target. Suddenly, it found her. It headed for the nearest Dojo.
* * *
"Hey Makoto!" Called a voice. It was her friend, Asanuma! And someone else.
"Hi Asanuma!" She called back. "What are you doing here? Who's this?"
"I heard you were worried about something so we came to cheer you up! Oh! This is Okugi." He responded cheerfully.
"Uh... Hi!" She said sheepishly.
"So what's the problem?" Okugi asked and headed in her direction.
"Well..." She began. An explosion caused Makoto to be hurtled through the wall. "Asanuma?! Okugi?! Are you okay?" She asked in panic.
"I'm fine... Nothing broken, I think..." Reported Okugi.
"Ugh... Makoto? Are you alright?" Asanuma asked.
"Fine. You?" She repeated.
"He's not going to be fine for very long, twit." Somebody laughed.
Makoto crept out of the rubble and got into a fighting stance. "Who are you?"
"Devin. I work for the Negafleet. I want your Pure Heart. Hand it over." He said.
"Are you NUTS?! Like I'd let you take my Pure Heart!" Makoto laughed.
"Oh? So you want to fight, eh? Akuma! Get her now!"
The Akuma next to him jump out towards Makoto firing its claw. "Fire one!"
Makoto jumped out of the way. "Oh yeah? Fine! Let's play, clay face!" She unleashed a series of punches at it, letting her fists do the talking.
Devin grinned and teleported away.
"Makoto! Look out!" Asanuma yelled. He raced into the fight to protect her.
Okugi gasped. "Leave her alone!" He ran toward Devin, ready to launch an attack.
Makoto turned around to see Devin launching an attack. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" A power hand had pushed her out of the way, taking the brunt of the blast! "Asanuma! No! ASANUMA!"
* * *
A group of eleven people arrived at the scene. They watched in horror as their comrade was about to be killed.
* * *
Okugi slammed into Devin, and the two were tossed into the wall. Okugi was hurtled out as Devin hit him with his power. "Aaaaahhhhhhhh!"
"Okugi! NO!" Ami yelled. She raced out to help. [I have to help...]
"Hold it!" A figure was walking through the rubble.
Everyone turn to face Lachesis! Two other women accompanied her.
"No way! Lachesis?! You traitor!" Devin was completely bewildered. "Clotho and Atropos too?! Fine! I'll kill you all! Starting with you!" He pointed to Okugi. "Now, human... I think I'll kill you inside to out..." Laughed Devin.
'From the center, Mercury...'
[From the center...] Ami thought. [That's it! I AM summoning my transformation wrong! I understand!] Ami glared at Devin. "You're NOT going to hurt my friends! MERCURY ETERNAL...!"
"He's MINE!" Makoto interrupted. Her voice was as sharp as ice. "You've hurt my friend long enough! Now you're gonna PAY!" The green symbol of Jupiter was summoned onto her forehead. A circular green locket with the Jupiter sign in the center appeared in front of her. "JUPITER ETERNAL... MAKE UP!" Bolts of lightning surged out of the brooch creating a sailor suit exactly like Mercury's - but in green. "How DARE you try to hurt my friends!"
"Ulp... this doesn't look good..." Devin started backing up - that is he backed into a wall. "Uh oh..."
Jupiter marched in front of him. At the moment it looked like Devin was two feet high compared to the livid Sailor Jupiter who towered above him. He shivered then gulped. "I'm harmless! Really!"
"Yeah right!" She snapped.
Devin gulped again than started screaming as he sprinted out the dojo and into the parking lot and ducked underneath one of the cars.
"Come back here, you...?!" Jupiter shrieked and charged after him.
* * *
"Ek! She's MAD!" Gasped Mars.
"Yeah..." agreed Uranus in awe.
* * *
"Did you hear me?! I SAID 'COME BACK HERE'!" Jupiter summoned her powers, blasting every single car in the lot until she found him. Fortunately, none of the cars were permanently damaged. All the electricity did was start the cars without a key. "Got ya!"
Then the Akuma launched itself at her. "Fire Two!"
"Look out!" Yelled Mercury. She dove for it just as it fired. Wham! The claw hit her instead of Jupiter!
"Mercury!" The Heat Crystal floated out as she collapsed. "No!"
"Yes!" Cheered Devin. "Now for the Heart Crystal..."
"...SYNDROME!" A blast of silvery energy hit Devin. It was Sailor Luna. "Thanks for the Pure Heart." She mocked.
"No!" Yelled Jupiter and Devin in sync.
Sailor Luna lifted the Pure Heart and scanned it. "Nothing. Grrr... This is taking too long." Taking out her gun she tossed it toward the wall, but Jupiter caught it!
Sailor Jupiter knelt and returned the Heart Crystal. "As for you..." Sailor Jupiter glared at Devin. "It's time I taught you some manners." She said quietly. "JUPITER LIGHTNING TREMOR!" A massive surge of electricity hit the Akuma and Devin. Power hit both hard, turning them completely into dust.
"Humph. Oh well." Sailor Luna turned and started to walk away.
"Wait!" Called Tuxedo Mask. "Please!"
Sailor Luna turned around again. "I thought I had made myself clear. I WILL NOT HELP YOU."
"Not that. I uh..." He shook his head. "Someone told me you would know some information I needed."
"Oh? And who told you that?" She asked coldly.
"I...umm... I'm not at liberty to say. But anyway, please, what do you know about somebody named Kaylyn?"
[About time.] Thought Pluto.
"Excuse me?"
"What do you know about somebody named Kaylyn?" He repeated.
Her eyes fuzzed.... Solidifying for a moment, like something had taken her over. "Interesting... I didn't think anyone knew about her, but what authority do you have to access that information?" She asked.
"Authority?"
"Rank."
"Prince."
"Ha, ha. Very funny." She mocked.
"I'm serious."
"Then which?"
"I didn't think there were anymore than one." He remarked.
"There isn't." she shrugged. "Follow me. We should talk privately."
Surprised, he just nodded.
"Wait!" Sailor Moon called worried.
"I'll be back soon." Tuxedo Mask assured. "Don't worry!"
The two bounced into the air, jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
* * *
The Senshi returned to the Hikawa Jinja and de-transformed.
"Hi Ami. You called, right?" Said Ms. Mizuno who has arrived.
"Hello, Mother." Ami smiled, "I did call. I'm sorry to bother you but we're kind of busy so I was hoping you would explain to Asanuma who we are and such."
"Sure!" She responded easily and sat next to him. "It all began..."
"Now," Ami continued, "As for the chance of Okugi being Sailor Luna... well, there's a three percent chance - that's not good odds in my book. The reason is because Okugi's negative energy reading is substantially LOWER than Sailor Luna's is. Okugi was probably influenced by evil, but he's fine NOW - the healing process was probably left unfinished. My energy pattern is identical, as Ami and Sailor Mercury. Okugi's and Sailor Luna's aren't. As far As I can tell, Sailor Luna is pure evil."
* * *
"Kaylyn is a woman of high ranking status. I don't know how high though. She disappeared at the age of ten." Sailor Luna explained, looking away from him and down into the beams that connected the Tokyo Tower, "After that she has never been seen since. Rumor has is, she went to the Moon Kingdom and took a position there as a Senshi to Queen Serenity. Before the siege led by Beryl, she was killed and reborn in this time - like you. She has the ability to break the final seal using the Lunar Heart."
"The Luna Heart?" Tuxedo Mask inquired.
"A powerful heart-shaped crystal. Its power is immense, but it alone could never rival the Ginzuishou. The Negafleet want it because unlike the Ginzuishou, it can be used to find energy - the energy of a person or a thing. The Lunar Heart can also absorb and store a fathomless amount of power." She shook her head.
"I get it. Your job is to find it before the Negafleet does." He suddenly understood.
"Yes. It was also noted she had an unknown relationship with Prince Endymion. I don't know what type though. Although... I'm positive that he never knew about it."
"I see... But why do you have to destroy the Heart Crystals?"
"I don't."
[Huh?] He persisted. "But than why..."
"Pluto is right. I am evil. I always was and always will be... It is the way of things. I have to destroy them. I WANT to. I have been like this since I was born... Sailor Moon couldn't heal me even if she used all the power in the entire universe..."

Bolts of lightning surged out of the brooch creating a sailor suit exactly like Mercury's - but in green. "How DARE you try to hurt my friends!"

"Pluto is right. I am evil. I always was and always will be... It is the way of things. I have to destroy them. I WANT to. I have been like this since I was born... Sailor Moon couldn't heal me even if she used all the power in the entire universe..."
