"What is your excuse, Aura? 'The new one was too strong.' If you so much as utter those words, I'll destroy your measly soul." Aria, furious at the latest failure, stood on her mini-throne, one hand pointing at Black Mercury, the other holding a sphere of crackling energy. "P-Princess, please! I was out numbered, they over powered me!" A smirk spread across the evil princess's face. "Oh right! So I'll send a whole legion of Shadow Warriors with you on your next mission and then you'll be fine?" The wounded warrior's face brightened. "Yes! That should be sufficient!" Aria's eyes, mostly red now, narrowed into angry slits and Black Mercury stumbled back from the throne. The crackling orb of energy grew larger as the princess raged on. "You and your comrades are almost equal to me in power and yet your still fail? Those weaklings cannot truly be that powerful! I'll show you! Eve! Come forth!" There was a flicker of bright green energy and Black Jupiter appeared. She bowed. "Princess, you summoned me?" Black Mercury, obviously taken aback, gasped and glared at her leader and the newcomer. Aria's energy orb disappeared and her eyes went to normal again. "Eve, I need you to take up the next mission. I know you are the strongest of the Black Soldiers. You can succeed where the others before you failed." Black Mercury, ignoring her injuries, jumped forward exclaiming, "No! I can do this! Give me another chance, Princess! Eve is too hot headed! I could-" Aria's eyes went red again and a wave of black energy swallowed Black Mercury. She screamed and landed next to her sister in a soundproof, lightless chamber. Eve smiled evilly. "Princess I will succeed and show you that I should be your second in command." Aria merely nodded and sat back down as her faithful servant disappeared in another flicker of green energy.

        Rylie was standing at the doorway of Aria's chamber watching the whole thing. His face was a stone hard mask of silent anger. That Aria was not the woman he loved. She was some possessed recreation of his lover. He closed his eyes sadly preparing to turn away since she hadn't noticed him. She usually would've seen him there, but she was just sitting there, eyes glowing red. Glancing back at her once more, Rylie left the chamber silently. 'Damien, what have done to her? I loved the person she was, not what she is now.' He thought, silently sending this to his 'brother.'

                Kylie stared at the aqua haired nuisance with an off-handed nature. That girl had been staring at her like that since they met. It was really annoying and Kylie hated things that annoyed her. She also never backed down from a challenge and this girl was very obviously challenging her. Smiling pleasantly, Kylie waved at her foe happily. Caught off guard by this show of friendliness, the girl in the ponytail dropped her books. Kylie burst out laughing and all her other roommates looked over at her. Aqua hair, Nikki to her friends, glared at her and rushed out of the room. The two stuck up ones hurried over to Kylie. "Uh, you're Kylie Kino right? Lita's daughter?" Princess Lady Serenity asked curtly. Kylie groaned. "Yup, that's my name." The blond with the orange bow giggled goofily. Kylie hated giggles. "What's so funny about that?" She asked gruffly to the preppy blond. "Oh nothing! I was just gonna say that you looked like your mom." It was Kylie's turn to be caught off guard. She gaped at the shorter girl. Kylie was expecting an insult of some sort. The pink haired princess smiled and tugged on her friend's arm. "See ya!" She called back over her shoulder before they disappeared through the door. Kylie shook her head and chuckled. "Strange." Marina Mizuno hurried past her, clutching her books to her chest. Kylie arched an eyebrow at her and them did it again when Tara Tomoe walked past as she always did, head down so her hair covered her pale face. "Sheez! Glad I got stuck with such friendly people this year!" Kylie called loudly after they had all gone. She had no clue why they were hurrying. Their first class wasn't for another five minutes, plenty of time, in her eyes. She ran a hand through her sandy brown hair. She laughed at herself when she realized she hadn't even fixed her hair yet! Quickly selecting to hair thingys from the small dish on her bedside table. Then she pulled her hair into her trademark: two half pigtails with the rest hanging to right below her ears. Grinning, she blinked her emerald eyes seductively at her reflection. "CJ Tenoh! Well, aren't you a looker?" She laughed at her imitation of Nikki, who was dating the mentioned guy. Kylie turned from the mirror, grabbed her books, and casually walked out of the dorm.

        Humming a tune under her breath, Kylie strolled into her first class right before the bell rang. Lea, Rini, Marina, Nikki, and Tara, along with some others, were already there. Kylie ignored them and sat in the back of the class with all the guys. All her life she felt more comfortable around guys. Not for any sexual reasons, just because they enjoyed the same things. Football, karate, sleeping, and anything that involved a lot of physical contact in sports. The two guys sitting nearest her glanced at her once but didn't bother checking her out. She had a rather, well, rough reputation when it came to fresh guys. Yeah, she put a couple forward guys in the hospital and everyone knew that. The class started and Kylie paid minimal attention to the instructor. She was thinking about the martial arts team tryouts after all classes today. Actually all teams, squads, and clubs were holding tryouts after classes that day. Kylie was heavy into martial arts and held quite a few titles. But only in unarmed combat since she thought weapons were a sign of weakness in fighting.

        Later, at lunch, Kylie plopped down at a table occupied mostly by guys. The cutest one had blond hair and sparkly blue-gray eyes. He smiled at her and she thought, 'He obviously doesn't know my reputation.' The only guys she knew were the ones sitting next to the smiley blond, spiky black hair with red tips on the spikes and deep violet eyes, and her brother. He had darker brown hair than hers, but their eyes were the same color. He smiled and waved. "Kylie, I'd like to introduce you to my friends. The spiky headed one's Zach, the blond one's Lee, and this is CJ." He motioned to the one guy in the whole world that Kylie would've gone out with. With his strong, tall build and deep eyes, he was any girl's dream guy. But his violent temper and gruff ways made him attractive to Kylie. He was a street fighter and Kylie had watched him a couple of times. She and him could fight and fight for hours and no one would win. Equals. Kylie waved at the table of guys. Zach snickered and Lee elbowed him. Kylie caught the snicker and glared at him. "What was that all about, spike?" He choked on the food he was chewing, which threw him into a coughing fit. Lee smiled pleasantly at Kylie. "He's just jealous because you're taller than he is." She decided to laugh at that, but she gave a glare to Zach who found something interesting out the window. Kylie, satisfied with that response, turned back to her food. Some kind of mush and a biscuit. "Geez! With all the finery this place has you'd think they spend some money on the food." She scoffed. She could've easily cooked something all these kids would love. She prided herself on her ability to cook better than her mom and her brother. CJ smiled at her and nodded. Kylie almost blushed, almost.

        Kylie jogged out of the girl's locker room after classes were over that day. She was wearing a karate uniform (isn't there a name for those?) that had a bright green collar lining and a black belt. The gym was full of teenaged students, guys and girls, dressed similarly to Kylie. The coach was a brawny man with a receding hairline and a scarred face. He was very scary looking, but Kylie knew he was all talk and no walk. He yelled at the teeming mass in a smoker's voice and paired people up according to the list he had. No one knew how he had a list of all of them, but no one really cared. Kylie was paired up with CJ for the primary fights. CJ had no shirt on because he was just like that. He was very muscular. Kylie smiled and tried not to stare at his muscles. He grunted and winked at her. "So, we have to fight I guess." Kylie said in her most casual voice. CJ nodded. "Yeah, I'll go easy on ya." Kylie arched her eyebrow. "I think that'll be the other way around once we start." They launched into battle as soon as the coach blew his whistle. Locked in Kylie's iron headlock almost immediately, CJ grunted and struggled. Kylie yawned. "Please, you're weak!" He struggled harder and harder until the coach strolled over and blew his whistle. Kylie dropped her foe and CJ stood up immediately. His eyes glowed with silent fury. "CJ Tenoh! Eliminated!" His voice echoed throughout the gym. Some people looked over and they lost to their opponents because of it. Kylie grinned at her fallen foe. "Told you." CJ rolled his eyes and stomped away. Laughing to herself Kylie waited for her next "opponent".

        This is a no brainer. Kylie made it on the team! Yay! She was walking through the gym wiping the sweat from her face when she saw the girl. Her hair was dark brown and she had electric green eyes. She wasn't wearing a karate uniform or a CTU uniform, but a Sailor Scout outfit with black bows and an electric green main color theme. Kylie was alone in the gym before then and she hadn't seen this girl anywhere before. The girl smiled and flipped her ponytail over her shoulder. "So, you're the infamous Kylie Kino, Citywide and Regional Champion. I wish to have the honor of fighting you." Kylie blinked, kind of confused by this strange girl. And yet, since she never backed down from a challenge she nodded and tossed aside her towel. "Lets rumble!" She called to the strange girl who rushed at her with inhuman speed, pinning her to the nearby wall. She leaned close to Kylie ear and whispered, "Too slow!" Before punching her in the stomach several times. Kylie gagged and coughed up a mouthful of blood. The girl saw this and chuckled. "Aw poor little girl! You're hurt! Here! Let me end your suffering."

Black Jupiter Supreme Thunder!

          At point blank range the electric attack caused twice the damage. Kylie screamed before falling unconscious. Black Jupiter dropped the limp girl, scoffing at her weakness. "Loser. Aria told me you would be a challenge. Hmph." She crossed her arms and turned away. "No one else to fight. This is too simple. How did the others fail so many times?" With a shrug, Black Jupiter prepared to finish the job but a voice stopped her. "Wait just a second, Black Jupiter!" It was the voice of Sailor Neo-Moon and was joined by Neo-Venus, Neo-Mercury, and the Knights of Venus and Mars. "You fight dirty!" "Your strategy was not thought through and you miscalculated." "Yeah! You really stink!" "If you weren't evil, I might have asked you out!" Black Jupiter whipped her head around looking for the source of the voices. Five shadowy figures leapt out of nowhere and landed near the evil skank. "In the name of our respective planets and Love and Justice, we'll punish you!"  Cried the pink haired leader as they all assumed their poses. Black Jupiter snorted. "After what I did to that pathetic excuse for a fighter, I'll beat you wimps into bloody smears on the floor!" She lunged at the Knight of Venus, who shot an arrow, screaming,

Mega Love Chain Mummify!

          The orange chains wrapped around her, stopping her in her tracks. Neo-Venus clapped and Neo-Mercury touched her right earring making a light blue visor cross her eyes. "She's weak against water and ice!" Mars nodded at her. "You're up!" She jumped towards the fighting figure.

Mercury Polar--AHHHHHH!!

          In the middle of her attack, Black Jupiter broke free and shot black electricity at the blue-garbed girl. "Neo-Mercury! I've got it!" Neo-Venus called before launching one of her mother's attacks.

Venus Crescent Beam Smash!

          The beam of yellow energy tore at Black Jupiter and she collapsed. All of them approached her cautiously. She looked at them angrily before screaming,

Darkstar Crystal Knife!

        Her eyes hadn't even gone red and there was no black aura. Just the six black beams of black energy rushing at all of them. "NO! The shield! NOW!" Neo-Moon screamed. They pushed the energy shield up and the beams disappaited. All of them except the on heading for Kylie. The beam ripped into her back, since she was lying on her stomach, and it pulled her out of unconsciousness. Screaming in total agony, Kylie's body arched with the spasms of pain she was experiencing. This confused the Neo-Team because they didn't remember the pain being that bad. Neo-Moon's eyes widened in realization as she noticed how Black Jupiter's eyes turned violet and her hair and clothes changed. Her hair turned black and was pulled into two half buns suddenly. Her sailor suit melted into a black dress and she cackled manically. Neo-Moon turned to the others. "That's Sailor Negamoon! Not Black Jupiter! We've got to stop her now!" The others didn't seem too shocked except Neo-Mercury who was still looking through her visor. "Everyone, her energy just shot up off the scales! She is way too powerful for us!" Negamoon, well Aria, turned to them and smiled. "Actually, I am Black Jupiter and Sailor Negamoon. See?" The figure of Black Jupiter stepped out of Aria's body, totally solid. She grinned and walked over to Kylie's now still body. A dark green crystal orb with a bright green symbol of Jupiter and white wings was floating above her body. Neo-Moon knew they had lost this one, that they were too late to save her. Black Jupiter reached out for the Crystal Orb of Jupiter, but a sword shot out of nowhere and hit her hand away. Aria glared at the sword, knowing exactly whose it was. "This is wrong, Aria, and you know it!" A voice called, followed by the form of a tall man. He had blond hair and blue eyes and was dressed in black and dark blue, cape billowing, eyes flaming. Aria stomped her foot angrily as he kneeled next to Kylie, pulled her hand out from under her, and pushed the Crystal Orb in her palm. The bright green transformation stick appeared and she woke up. "Here, take this." He grabbed the stick and handed it to her. She nodded as words filtered into her head.

Jupiter Crystal Orb Power!

        Bright green ribbons, charged with electricity, rushed out of the crystal orb followed by a roll of thunder. The ribbons wrapped around her and formed her body suit, dark green bows, bright green skirt, ankle high boots that were bright green, the Crystal Orb of Jupiter became the brooch, a dark green choker appeared bearing a bright green symbol of Jupiter, her gloves, and finally her gold tiara with another bright green symbol of Jupiter on it. She ended with the same exact pose as her mom. Her eyes held a kind of fury that they had rarely in anyone's eyes. Smiling at Black Jupiter, she motioned for her to bring it on, so to speak. Black Jupiter narrowed her eyes and rushed at her. She repeated the same move she used on CJ and caught Black Jupiter in a headlock. Black Jupiter screeched in surprise. Kylie leaned closer to her enemy's ear and whispered, "I'm Sailor Neo-Jupiter, your worst nightmare." Neo-Jupiter spun Black Jupiter out so she fell down. (Note to readers: I'm no good at writing fight scenes so forgive the crappiness of this fight!) Neo-Jupiter laughed as her enemy stood and rushed at her again. The newest addition to the Neo-Team simply summoned her first attack ever,

Jupiter Thunder Storm!

          Bolts of electricity rained down around Black Jupiter and thunder nearly deafened everyone around. Black Jupiter collapsed and Aria, furious with the man who had stopped her and the Neo-Team, marched over to her comrade. "I will report this to Darkstar and he won't be happy!" Then she and Black Jupiter disappeared in a flash of dark gray energy. Neo-Jupiter turned to her comrades and smiled. "Well, I guess I'm part of the team now, huh?" Neo-Moon nodded curtly, but instead of detransforming like they always did, the Neo-Team turned to the mysterious blond man that had saved the day. "Who are you?" Neo-Moon asked in a commanding tone. He shook his head and picked up his sword from where it had landed. "I can't reveal that until you know more. Farewell." He jumped up and disappeared into the gathering night. "That's just way too creepy." Neo-Venus said, twisting some of her hair around her finger. Neo-Mercury pressed her earring again and the visor disappeared. "That went relatively smoothly. And I collected enough data to fully study our magical powers." Mars sighed and rolled his eyes. "Drop it already, jeez!" The Knight of Venus turned to Kylie and smiled. "I guess we should show you who we are." Then they all detransformed. "Ha! Well, I guess I have to make friends with you guys now, huh?" They all laughed at this since she had had no intentions of making friends with any of these people. And, in short, a greenish star appeared with all the others and the moon that night.
