*****************************************************************************************

All senshis grabbed their transformation sticks when they heard the voice.

Strangely enough, Greg just relaxed. Quickly they transformed

and took an defensive stance.

They looke around carefully, serching for the owner to the voice.

What they saw was a senshi in a dark green and black fuku.

"Sailor Pluto? What are you doing here? asked Luna.

As Pluto was going to answer she was interrupted by somone.

"Hrm? Meow? What's going on here? Oh well, nothing important, I think.

Well, goodnight again" said a tired Artemis. Artemis put down his

head and went back to sleep. Sweat drops formed over everyone's heads, even Pluto's.

"Artemis, you sleeping idiot. Wake up!" screeched Luna and hit him with her claws.

That did wake him up. "Meow! I'm awake, I'm awake. Honestly.

I wasn't sleeping. I just closed my eyes." "And that snoring?"

asked Mina innocently. "That wasn't snoring.

I was just clearing my throat." "For half an hour?"

Artemis blushed at the last statement.

"Well, as I was saying before Artemis decided to wake up.

I know why you can't remember anything about your knights" said Pluto.

"What? Why can't we?" asked Mina.

"Get to the point already, Pluto" said Raye.

"You see, when you first were awakened you got your stick and the name

of your attack. You never had a chance to hear about your past life.

You never knew how and why you served the Silver Millenia."

"So you're saying that we probably could have remember it, only we blocked it

since we didn't know why we were senshis. Right?

"Yes, that's correct, Mercury. Serenity was going to make a plan, if something

like this whould happen. Unfortunly, she didn't have the time." said Pluto.

"Aren't there more knights like me?" asked Greg.

"They are here somewhere on earth, reincarnated, living new lives.

They probably don't know about their past life.

They're just thinking that they're just normal guys."

Suddenly, Rei tensed up. "Who's there? Show your self!"

From outside an evil laughter was heard. Then someone was cackeling.

"Ha ha ha, now I'll take all starseeds here and gain Galaxia-sama's gratitude".

"Like that would be true.

I am the mysterious Sailor Scout, Sailor Pluto.

I know past, present and future, for I am the Sailor of time.

Never ask me my age.

I'll punish you, in the name of Pluto.

Everyone sweatdropped. The strict Sailor Pluto had made a speech.

The senshis recovered and said :

"And we'll punish you in the name of:

"Mercury"

"Mars"

"Jupiter"

"Venus"

"And the moon".

"So Sailor losers, This's were you meet up?" said Iron Mouse

"I must say that the standards for Senshi headquarters has dropped".

"What?" everyone asked.

"Come on a shrine for headquarters, puhlease. That's so out.

Now, try this. Iron Mouse Blind Rage" said the animamate.

The senshis jumped out of the way. Then it all started again,

the deadly dance with an animamate. Only difference was that

there were now two more warriors.

Kick, punch, duck, duck, attack and dodge.

That was the only thing they could do while

they were waiting for an oppurtunity to strike back.

"Mercury Aqua Mirage" shouted Mercury.

Followed by Mercury Knights attack.

"Mercury Enchanting Spear".

The attacks hit the shield that Iron Mouse

had in front of her.

"Ha ha ha, you think that those small attacks you have will hurt me?.

I'm stronger now, Galaxia-sama healed me. I'm the greatest animate

that Galaxia-sama has".

"We all now that I'm the greatest animate" said Aluminium Siren,

as she suddenly showed up..

The senshi realising that Iron Mouse had stopped, hestitated.

"Who're you?" asked Sailor Moon.

"I'm Sailor Aluminum Siren, the best Animamate".

"Shoo shoo, get away from here. I'm handling this, besides.

I'm the best animamate." said Iron Mouse.

"Not now. Galaxia-sama is tired of your failing all your missions"

said Aluminum Siren.

"Well, this wont be a failure" stated Iron Mouse.

"Yes, that's why I'm here. To help you to win over these pathetic excuses

for senshis" said Aluminum Siren.

"Well don't stand there talking, get to work" yelled Iron Mouse.

The battle began again.

"Aluminum Blind Fold" shouted Aluminum Siren.

All except Mars got out of the way. Mars didn't see the attack from

Aluminum Siren coming, because she was busy attacking Iron Mouse.

The attack speeded against Mars. She turned around and saw the attack comming.

There was no way that she could dodge that attack. Not even the senshis was that fast.

"Mars Corona Surround" someone shouted from the shadows.

Then it seemed like the world was on fast forward, everything happened so fast.

They could only see a fist held tight in the darkness.

Then flames started dancing around the fist in circles,

illuminating the face of the hands owner. The flame rings

headed towards Aluminum Siren and blocked her attack.

Aluminum Siren screamed when the rings of fire hit her.

Fire burning her body. "Who was that?" Aluminum Siren spat out.

"I'm Mars Knight. Guardian knight of Mars" the man said.

"Well I think it's *former* guardian knight of Mars now".

"Iron Mouse Blind Rage" shouted the animamate.

Aluminum Siren, not wanting to be left out of it shouted:

"Aluminum Blind Fold".

The senshis jumped out of the way, powering up for their attacks.

"Mercury Aqua Mirage"

"Mars Flame Sniper"

"Jupiter Oak Revolution"

"Venus Love and Beauty Shock

"Dead Scream"

"Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss"

"Mercury Enchanting Spear

"Mars Corona Surrond"

The three last attacks of the three newcomers boosted the power in their

combined attack. Iron Mouse didn't get her shield up in time,

Aluminum Siren, on the other hand, got her shield up in time. Iron Mouse

let out an anguished scream when the attacks hit her with full impact.

"My *sister* probably won't survie those attacks. For that I'm grateful,

now I'll lead the search for Star Seeds for Galaxia-sama.

Be aware 'cause I'm not a little brat like Iron Mouse" said Aluminium Siren,

who vanished with those words.

Jupiter carefully crept up towards Iron Mouse. She checked her pulse,

at first it seemed like she didn't have one. But then she felt it. it was weak,

but still strong. "Moon, over here." "What is it?" "Iron Mouse's still alive."

"She is? How could she survive our attacks?" "Don't mind that, can you heal her?

Like you did with the four sisters?" "I think so, since she's so

weak her body won't be able to resist the changing. Luna? Come here."

"What is it?" "Can I change Iron Mouse back to human?"

Luna went up to Iron Mouse and looked on her for a couple of moments.

"I think you can, like you said. She's so weak her body

probably won't resist it." "Okay. Here goes nothing. Moon Cosmic Power"

A pink light surronded Iron Mouse. All the cuts and bruises vanished,

slowly she lifted her arms and twirled around before screaming "Reborn".

Then she collapsed.

"Take her in and put her in a bed. Let her rest,

she'll be tired after this." commanded Luna.

Jupiter and Uranus carefully lifted the weak former animamate

and went inside with her. "Someone needs to be with her,

so that someone is there when she wakes up. The next 24 hours will

be critical for her survival. She was hurt pretty badly by your attacks."

"I'll stay with her, I do study to be a doctor." said Amy.

"Well now that that's taken care of, do you mind telling us who you are?"

asked Venus. The guardian of Mars smiled. He went up to Sailor Mars and kissed her.

At first Mars was surprised, but after a while she answered the kiss.

The clock ticked. 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes.

"Okay, okay, we know that Mars likes his kisses, but who's he?" said

an annoyed Venus.

"It's okay guys. He's with us" said Mars.

"How do we know that? Show us who you are!" said Jupiter.

Mars Knight let go of his transformation.

At the same time Sailor Moon stood there a bit confused,

when suddenly she realized.

Sailor Moon danced a little victory dance,

saying in a sing-song voice

"I knew it! I knew it. Chad's Mars Knight"

"Chad's Mars knight? Why didn't we notice that earlier?" asked Venus

"Will you stop doing that Odango Atama?" asked a very

angry Sailor Mars. "You're so mean, Mars.

Njah, njah" *twh*." And so started the tongue war

between Mars and Moon. "Cut it out Mars. Let's go home and rest." said

Jupiter. "She's right, we should go home and get some rest.

Who knows when the next attack will be?" said Venus.

In a swirl of light, everyone de-transformed and went home.

Rei and Chad went together inside, Chad with his arm around Rei's waist.

Each of them getting support from the other.

"You didn't get hurt in the battle, Rei-chan?" asked a worried Chad.

"No, thanks to you I didn't get a single scratch.

A bit tired but that's all." said a smiling Rei.

Chad blushed a bit when he heard that. "I...I could never let anything

happen to you Rei-chan."

"Oh Chad, that's sweet of you but I don't need help....Not much."

Chad looked at Rei with a gleam in his eyes and a half smile on his lips.

"Oh right, I do need some help some time, but not often. After all....."

Rei didn't finish the sentence as she was interrupted by Chad

kissing her.

*~*~*

Lita woke up right in the middle of the night. 'Damn that communicator'

The communicator beeped angrily when she didn't get up.

"Jupiter here!" "There's a huge Youma with big knives in the park" said Venus,

"Mars and Mars Knight are here with me. But we can't hold them off any longer".

The communicator screen suddenley went blank.

"Jupiter Crystal power, make up!" Lightning appeared around Lita,

encircling her. It flared up once and then died down.

In her place stood the Senshi of Lightning, Sailor Jupiter.

Jupiter took off towards the park, jumping from roof top to roof top.

At the same time she arrived, Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask and both Mercurys arrived.

Sailor Mars was knocked unconcious with Mars Knight tending to her.

If it hadn't been a battle waging, people might have stoped and watched the two.

Mars Knight gently caressing Mars cheek while trying to stop the blood flow

from a huge gash on her left arm.

Meanwhile Venus was barely holding up against the huge Youma.

Throwing large knives everywhere, Venus barely dodged the knives.

"Jupiter Oak Revolution" shouted Jupiter thinking she might

distract the youma. "Mercury, can you scan for the youmas weakness."

"I'm on it," answered Mercury.

Mercury tapped her earring and the visor apperared.

Mercury Knight was busy with protecting Mercury while

she scanned the youma. Sailor Moon, Sailor Jupiter,

Sailor Venus and Tuxedo Mask tried to distract the youma,

so Mercury could detetct it's weakness.

Aluminum Siren was there. Hoovering above the battlefield,

observing for any mistakes that someone might do.

It was Venus that finally noticed Aluminium Siren.

"Watch out everyone, Aluminium Siren's just above us." shouted Venus,

trying to warn the others. But while Venus did that, her attention slipped

and gave Aluminium Siren the opening that she'd been waiting for.

"Aluminum Dead Sun". The attack was directed to Venus and speeded

towards her at full speed. "NOOO! Miko-Chan" someone screamed.

That someone threw himself in front of Venus,

taking the hit meant for her. An agonized scream was

heard, then an yellow and orange aura flared. It flared once, then twice.

A blinding light erupted finaly. When it faded away a man,

dressed in a yellow and black armor hoovered above the ground.

"Be aware of the awakening of Jupiter Knight!" the man

floated back to the ground.

"Protecting the princess of Venus, I am Venus Knight!" Venus Knight

took an defensive stance in front of Venus. "Get up quickly." he ordered

without taking his eyes of the youma. Venus knight threw a

quick glance at Venus to assure that she was okay.

"Ohh...another playmate...Bunky's happy" said the dumb youma.

"What? Another one? How many are you people?

Oh why bother. Youma Bunky, destroy the sailor senshi."

ordered Aluminum Siren. Aluminium Siren, appearing to think

that the youma was capeable to do that, vanished in a huff.

"Okay, let's dust it!" said Sailor Moon.

"Mercury Aqua Mirage"

"Jupiter Oak Evolution"

"Venus Love and Beuty Shock"

"Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss"

"Mercury Enchanting Spear"

"Venus Solar Sword"

Tuxedo Mask threw a rose right in the middle of the senshis attacks.

The rose seemed to absorb the attacks and started glowing

with a blinding light. The rose hit the youma right in the

middle of it's chest. It screamed an anguished scream and

stumbled towards the senshis. A crack started to form in

its chest. Like a mirror starting to crack,

the youma fell a part and turned to dust.

"Moon dusted" said Sailor Moon with a smile.

Venus turned to Venus Knight and looked in his eyes.

There was something familiar with those eyes. Those big grey pools,

pools you could drown in. "Eric? Is that you?" asked Venus.

Venus Knight nodded and de-transformed back to Eric.

"It's me Miko-chan. I couldn't just stand there this time."

"Thank you Eric, for saving me" said Venus and kissed him lightly.

"Now what did you mean with this time? You knew it?"

Eric started to blush. "I knew you were Sailor Venus,

the resemblence between you and her was so big.

I knew it for certainy when I saw you with those cuts

after our second date. Usualy when you excuse your self,

I sneak behind you and watch the battle."

"Why did you do that? you could have been hurt,

or even worse, killed" screamed Venus while poking her finger

in his chest. "I love you Miko-chan,

I'd rather die than see you hurt." said Eric simply.

"I love you to, but that doesn't excuse you." said Venus.

"I guess we should say welcome to the team Eric" said Sailor Moon,

"Everyone, I call for a meeting at Rei's tomorrow at 10."

"At 10? How will you be able to get up so early Meatball Head?"

asked a newly concious Mars.

"Oh Mars, you're so mean. I said I'll be there at 10."

"Okay, okay chill out. Meeting at my place, 10 o`clock."

Everyone went home with there boyfrindes or girlfriends.

Ami and Greg, Rei and Chad, Mina and Eric, Serena and Darien

and then me. I was left alone. I had no one to walk with home. I feel

more and more like a fifth wheel. Everyone else had someone, but not me.

Alone I walked home in the dark, cursing the fate I'd have to live with.

*~*~*

Serena and Luna started up the stairs to Hikawa shrine,

the clock was 9:50 so she wasn't late. 'For once, she might not be late'

thought Luna. 'Maybe she's finaly growing up now'.

The sight that the princess and the cat saw upon their arrival

was normal. Rei's grandfather sweeping the ground

while Rei was chasing Chad with a broom.

As usual that is, hitting and shouting at him.

"I told you to hoover the living room not the kitchen!"

"But Rei-chan" protested Chad.

"Oh don't you 'Rei-Chan' me."

"Hello?"

"Demo Rei-Chan, I already did that"

"Then why didn't you say that?"

"Hello?" No answer again. Sweatdrops formed above Lunas and Serenas heads.

"I tried..." then he was cut off.

"If you had already done it you shouldn't have hoovered the kitchen.

You should've prepared the snacks. Serena'll probably eat

half of it." "Um...Hello...already..I'm here, and I'm on time"

"Oh hi Serena" said an embarrased Chad,

"I'll go prepare some snacks then Rei-chan."

"What meatball head's here already, it's not noon yet.

Wow, send a message to the Nobel commité, she's here on time."

"There's no need to be rude Rei. Shall we go inside and

wait for the others? asked Serena and went inside the shrine,

leaving a speachless Rei.

As soon as everyone had arrived and Rei had finished some snacks

with the help of Lita, everyone settled down in the living room.

"You may wonder why I've called this meeting.

Why I've suddenley started to act more matureley." said Serena.

Rei snickered at the last comment, but a glare from Lita stopped her.

"Go on, please continue, Serena" said Amy.

"But we also need to discuss the four of five knights,

the more frequent attacks and Darien.

"Me?? Why should we discuss me?" "I've thought about some

things about Darien. But that will have to wait until later,

Luna can you explain the situation with the enemy."

"Yes, the enemy is getting stronger and stronger and we still

know nothing except the name. Sailor Galaxia. She is our enemy,

said Luna, "It's very uncommon that a senshi turns to the dark side,

but it has happened". Luna paused and did a backflip, a scroll appeared.

"This is a chart where all senshis and knights are listed by how strong they are.

Last is Tuxedo Kamen and the Inner knights, as the senshis are

stronger than the knights. The order is starting from below :

Tuxedo Kamen

Mercury Knight

Mars Knight

Venus Knight

Sailor Mercury

Sailor Mars

Sailor Venus

Sailor Jupiter.

Jupiter Knight isn't shown on this chart, since we haven't found him yet.

The Other Senshis and their knights are much more powerful

than the Inner senshis and their knights. They're listed from below :

Sailor Neptune

Sailor Uranus

Pluto Knight

Sailor Pluto

In the top we've Saturn Knight and Sailor Saturn,

Highest is Sailor Moon,

because of the Imperium Silver Crystal.

But Sailor Galaxia is equal with Saturn Knight.

Only Sailor Saturn and Sailor Moon are stronger.

Sailor Moon

Sailor Saturn

Saturn Knight and Sailor Galaxia

Sailor Pluto

Pluto Knight

Sailor Uranus

Sailor Neptune



Sailor Jupiter

Sailor Venus

Sailor Mars

Sailor Mercury

Venus Knight

Mars Knight

Mercury Knight

Tuxedo Kamen.

"I recommend that it's time to call on the Outer Senshis"

finished Luna. Everyone mumbled their agreement.

"The question is, will they come?" asked Mina,

"I mean isn't their duty to protect the solar system from invaders?"

"That won't be a problem" said Luna. "Serena might not remember,

but in the Moon kingdom she was indeed the Crown Princess.

But she was also the highest ranking General of the Moon Kingdom,

Wielder of the Imperium Silver Crystal, Crown princess of the Sun

and Commander-in-chief of the Sailor Senshis, both Inners and Outers."

"Yes, I remember it now. They'll come when I says."

"I'll contact the Outer scouts after the meeting. Now to the

other thing. Serena would you?" asked Luna

"I've thought about this for a while now. Darien when you're

Endymion you have a sword, when you were The Moonlight Knight

you had a crooksable and when you're Tuxedo Mask you have your

roses and a cane." "Yeah, what's so special about that?"

"The other knights have magical attacks that represents their planet.

But why doesn't he have attacks like that?" asked Serena.

"Erm...er..I think I've a answer to that. For Darien to access his total power

as Earth Knight he must retrieve the Golden Crystal.

The Golden Crystal is similar to the Imperium Silver Crystal,

but not as powerful" said Artemis.

"Okay. How does he do that?" asked Rei.

"Easy. He must pass a test by me" announced a voice

from the door....
