"Whew!" Gasped Haruka to Michiru. She tugged at her blouse. "This is going to be a hot summer!"
"Yeah, its already hot out." Michiru agreed, and pulled out one of her music sheets to use as a fan.
Choruses of people were crowded around the front entrance of the Hikawa High School as Haruka and Michiru approached.
"What's going on?" Asked a young voice behind them.
"Huh?" Haruka turned around. It was Hotaru and Setsuna.
"We just arrived." Michiru explained, "So I haven't a clue."
"And since we weren't here yesterday because of the fight, we don't know either. But we can find out." Suggested Setsuna.
The others agreed.

A pink haired girl skipped through the park and along the sidewalk toward the Juuban Elementary School. She hummed to herself happily while she walked but was interrupted when a falling object hit her on the head. "Ow!" She spun to see what hit her. "Luna-P?!" She exclaimed. "Did Mama or Papa send you?"
'Chibi-Usa...' It responded. 'Chibi-Usa...'
Chibi-Usa sighed. "Oh well..." She waved a hand. "Come on! I'm going to school!"
'Peep...' It said and obeyed.
Chibi-Usa began skipping again but Luna-P suddenly sounded.
'Peep...!' It warned.
"What?" Chibi-Usa turned around and continued to walk backwards.
'Peep! Peep!' It said again.
BOOM! Chibi-Usa toppled over falling over something.
"Hey, Mini Pig-Tails, you mind?" A voice underneath spoke.
Chibi-Usa gasped and jumped off the girl around her age. "Oh! I'm so sorry!"
"Humph." The gray haired child responded as she stood up. It had been twisted into a braid in the back of her head. Only the end of it had been tied together though. Her sparkling blue eyes shone with amusement. "Be more careful next time." She said as she turned around and walked on.
[Wow... how mysterious...] Chibi-Usa thought. By the time she picked up her things and got up, the girl was gone.
* * *
"What's going on?" Michiru asked a nearby student.
"Don't you know?" She asked, "The four girls from the Dead Moon Circus are here! They're going to our school!"
"What!" She gasped then glanced at Haruka.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please calm down. You'll all get a chance to meet them sooner or later so please go to your assigned classes." A teacher spoke. As soon as the crowd cleared out the teacher returned to his classroom. The four Senshi met in the back.
"The Amazoness Quartet?!" Hotaru gasped.
"But... how?!" Haruka wondered.
"I have some disturbing news." Kouhi said as she joined the group.
"And...?" asked Michiru.
"Our principal was changed while we left."
"He never said anything about that." Setsuna remarked.
"His name is Somnus, Morpheus." added Kouhi suspiciously.
"WHAT!!!" They gasped.
"You mean... he could be our enemy?" Hotaru asked.
"It's possible. But I have no data to prove it."
"This is a problem." Haruka said quietly.
* * *
"Good morning class," Chibi-Usa's teacher spoke, "We have a new student in our class today." She waved a hand to the student next to her, "This is Yumeno Kisaki. She came from the Akita area." She glanced around. "Let's see... Hmm... You can sit... Ah! Behind Chibi-Usa! Please wave your hand, Chibi-Usa."
Chibi-Usa waved politely. And Kisaki sat in her designated seat.
"So... Kisaki, tell us something about yourself."
"I... I..." She spoke quietly.
"How about your parents? What do they do?"
"My parents are dead. My father was a criminal and my mother died a little after I was born. My stepmother aided my father in many crimes. Though she also worked as a secretary for a short while. She too is dead."
The entire class fell silent.
"Err... I see..." The teacher whispered.
[How terrible...] Chibi-Usa thought sadly.
* * *
[Rei...] An agonized Usagi thought. [The Negafleet is cruel. To take a hostage...]
She looked at her hands and clenched them. [How? How could I have just left Mars there? Why did they take you? Rei... It's all my fault. If I had been stronger...] Usagi couldn't get the thought out of her mind. Rei might be a pest at times, but she had always been there for her. There had been reasons for the priestess' cool ways.
Pollux grabbed her harshly. "If you want to ever see her alive again, give us the Ginzuishou and Sailor Moon." He laughed.
[No matter how many times I wanted to give up, she always pushed me. Always pushed me to try my hardest, to do my best - no matter the problems along the way. She forced me to be brave and take a stand. In her own way, she was always there to guide me when I REALLY needed it. And now... when she needed me... I... I just watched as she was taken... It's all because of me this is happening...]
"Phobos! Deimos! Protect Sailor Moon!" Mars shrieked.
[Even when she knew she was too far-gone to save... the only thing she thought about was protecting me...]
"Usagi..." Someone shook her gently. "Usagi..."
Usagi looked up and Ami smiled. "It's lunchtime. Come on, let's eat."
She shook her head. "I'm not really hungry..."
Ami sighed. "But..."
"Please... Ami... I just want to be left alone.... Please." She pleaded.
"Alright. I'll bring you back some cookies." Ami agreed and started to walk away.
"Ami..." Usagi gave a weak smile. "Thanks... for everything."
"Your quite welcome." Ami continued to walk until she reached to doorway. She paused one last time and watched Usagi lay her head on the desk, then moved on.
* * *
"I heard she was at the scene of the murders when the police came." A child whispered to the rest. Chibi-Usa peered into the group and listened in shock. Her mother was right. Lunchtime was the best place to hear gossip.
"Really?!" gasped another. "What was she doing there?"
"Nobody knows, but..."
"But..." They persisted eagerly.
"She was holding a gun."
The others murmured softly.
"The three people, two were her parents and the last a police officer, had been shot. They were all dead when they got there."
There was another rustle of voices. Everyone glanced at Kisaki who was walking out of the school and toward a vacant tree. She passed the group with little interest.
"Murderer." Hissed one.
She stopped and glanced at them. "What did you say?"
"You heard me!" The boy snapped. "You're a murderer!"
"Yeah!" Voiced another. "How could you kill your own parents?!"
"That's mean!" "Your crazy!" The others agreed.
"But I didn't..." She protested.
"Yeah sure." Mocked another. He pushed her harshly. "Lying is nothing compared to killing."
"But..." She protested as she fell on the ground.
"Stop it!" Yelled a voice. It was Chibi-Usa. She scrambled in front of Kisaki and spread her arms protectively. "If she said she didn't do it, she didn't do it!"
The bell for class to start broke the argument into pieces and everyone but Chibi-Usa and Kisaki ran to their classes.
"Are you okay?" Chibi-Usa asked as she helped her up.
"Yes." Kisaki responded quietly.
"Sorry about that." She apologized, "They're really weird. I never know what they're going to do. Oh, by the way, my name's Chibi-Usagi - everyone calls me Chibi-Usa."
"It's alright... and thank you. And... I am... Yumeno, Kisaki."
Chibi-Usa giggled. "No problem! Hey! Do you know your way around Juuban?"
"Well... No..." Kisaki shook her head.
"Great! Then I can show you around!" Chibi-Usa bounced happily.
"You will?!" A gasp came out of the little girl.
"Sure!"
"Thank you, Chibi-Usa-san."
"Oh, you can call me Chibi-Usa-chan." She giggled again.
"Thank you, Chibi-Usa-chan!" Kisaki said happily. "You can call me Kisaki, if you really want to..."
"Okay, Kisaki-chan. I'll meet you here after school. I need to get a birthday present for my older cousin's friend after school today, but you can come too if you want. Only problem is Usagi has to come along, so we'll have to wait for her at my house. Is that all right? We can always start tomorrow."
"Today's fine. As is tomorrow. Whatever is best for you. I don't want to take up you time, or be a burden."
"Don't worry! You won't be!" Chibi-Usa assured.
"Then I'll see you after school." Kisaki agreed.
* * *
'Finally... I can see your light...' A voice whispered in the blackness. 'Princess... I found you...' Kaylyn Stretched out her hand and sighed in relief. 'I finally found you...'
* * *
'Serenity...'
'Princess Serenity...'
Usagi opened her eyes. Darkness had encased her everywhere. It wrapped around her like a black blanket of shadows. Usagi shivered nervously. [Where am I?]
'In your mind...' The voice said.
"Who are you?" Usagi turned left and right, trying to find the speaker.
'I...' It continued. 'I... am a ghost... A phantom... that only exists... in the dreams of the dead and the darkest reflections.'
"I don't understand..."
A light shimmered in front of her, transforming into a figure of a woman. She reached out a hand. 'Princess... I am only... an illusion... that I created... to fool Sage... I should have told you sooner... but... I had hoped not to involve you and the other Senshi... I have been causing you so much pain... I felt I had to help... somehow... so I gave your guardians... a new... power... eternal power...'
"Are you... Kaylyn?" Usagi gasped.
'Yes...' Kaylyn sighed. 'I have news... and a confession...'
"What do you mean?!"
'I will show you... it is better than trying to explain...'
A ripple spread through the darkness creating a city she recognized immediately. It was the Silver Millennium. But it was a part she had never seen.
The ripple suddenly reversed and split into two. Each rippled around them, creating Serenity's white gown from her days as a princess. Suddenly she gasped. She could see Kaylyn's face! The other Senshi had said that it had been too dark to see her, and yet she could!
Kaylyn's dress was a pair of two. The bottom was a gray and had a V-shaped collar with inch-thick straps. The top was silver and had a low-cut curved collar, a V-shaped seam at the waistline, and a slit from the seam to the end of the dress cut at down the middle. The straps were only a few centimeters thick. Her hair had been made into a long braid down the back of her neck with the braid held in place by a blue bow at the end of it. A pair of silver hand gloves was worn on her hands and a grey band tied in a bow around the back of her neck with two streaming ribbons flowing from it, stopping at the ends of her dress. She had two sets of silver earrings next to each other, and a teardrop-shaped necklace, like the other Senshi. Her eyes were sparkling sapphire gray-blue and her smile was warm and friendly. The only thing missing was her pendant - the Lunar Heart - around her neck.
"Where are we?"
"My home planet, Somnus."
"Somnus... isn't that the name of the Negafleet's ship?"
"Yes, Princess. The ship, Somnus, is all that remains of my home planet in your time. This is my memory of the past - before it was obliterated."
"By Beryl..." Serenity hissed.
"No, by the true enemy."
"The true enemy? The Negafleet?" Serenity was confused.
"No, it is not the Negafleet. I will show you the day of my planet's destruction. I was visiting your mother when the evil creature attacked. I had recently finished my training an a Sailor Senshi."
"You're a Sailor Senshi?! Who?!" Serenity gasped.
"Sailor Somnus - one of the Elite Senshi and a protector of the Queen.
I had left to visit my brother. He had never met me and we were only half-siblings."
"Who's your brother?"
"Prince Endymion. I had only seen him in when I was in the shadows, mainly because I wasn't supposed to exist. I was older than him, and therefore, the rightful heir to the throne, but I didn't want it. I had enough problems and responsibilities as a Senshi and the heir to Somnus. Although I had left to join the team as a child, I had been told that I could return to Somnus when the Sailor War was over, but... there was nothing left to come back to."
She waved her hand and another ripple passed through the city, giving it life once again and the two were transported to the castle below. "This is my mother star castle, Hypnos."
The city was in ruins. The castle's pillars had fallen. The buildings were crumbling. The people were warped and disintegrating. A younger version of Princess Kaylyn raced to the castle. "Father?!" She yelled. "Father?! Where are you?!" She ran back and forth, calling for him.
"Poor child..." A person behind her crooned.
Kaylyn turned around. "What happened? Why didn't anyone get help? Where's my father? Is he alright?"
"Come... see for yourself." The robed woman held out a hand.
"I don't trust you." She growled.
The woman shrugged. "Fine then, he can come here." She turned slightly. "My lord, someone wants to see you."
A man shimmered behind the woman and Kaylyn gasped.
"Kaylyn?!" he gasped. "Your alive?! I thought those wretched humans had killed you!"
"Earth did this?!" She shrieked. "I don't believe it! Who is this woman? I sense evil from her! Why are you with her? Did she tell you these lies?!"
"They didn't do it?" He said confused.
"No! I was at the Earth the past week!" She insisted.
"Then who?"
"The humans did it, my lord. They have brainwashed her." The woman interrupted.
"That's not true!" Kaylyn yelled.
Her eyes glowed red. "Yes it is. The people of the Silver Millennium and Golden Kingdom destroyed Somnus."
"The people... of the Silver Millennium... destroyed Somnus..." Echoed her father.
Suddenly Kaylyn lunged for the woman. "What have you done to my father?!"
The woman tossed her hand outward and a blast of energy slammed Kaylyn back.
"That's it..." She growled. "Now I'm mad." She pulled out a gray and silver colored pen and opened her mouth to call her transformation.
"Get her. She's a human and killed your daughter." The woman said.
"Yes..." He murmured. "Your right, Sage. My daughter is dead. The humans will pay. Starting with YOU!" He lunged for Kaylyn.
"Father! No!" Kaylyn wailed.
"That's it Morpheus, go ahead, kill her." Sage whispered with glee.
[I can't believe it... Mamo-chan is Kaylyn's brother. Her father is Morpheus. And Sage is controlling him!] Serenity could only watch in horror as Morpheus continued to attack the little princess...
