*************************************************************************************
The senshis and the knights had gathered at the lake in the park,
having a picnick. Trying to act like normal teenagers for once.
'Muffin, where are you?' thought Serena as she stood by the lake.
Almost seven days had passed since he left. Mina smelled a flower thinking
'I don't like this calm, it's to peaceful'. A loud crash was heard,
Lita felt a wave of pain washing through her body. She stumbled,
everyone saw it and shouted : "Lita!" "I'm okay, It hurt like hell for a while".
Ami took out her computer and started to scan Lita.
"Hmm...strange..." What's strange?" asked Lita. Ami was about to say,
when a loud scream was heard. "YOUMA!" "It came from the western
part of the park" said Raye. "Henshin yo minna" said Serena.
Sudden calls from the girls and a look of focus on the guys faces,
in a flash the normal looking teenagers were gons. In their place stood
the legendary senshis and their knights. They looked at eachother
and nodded, they ran fast towards the western part. The sight they saw,
made them horrified. This didn't seem like a normal youma attack.
It looked like an all war zone. Four youmas were feasting on peoples energy,
draining them to the brink of death and then tossing them aside.
A woman hoovering above the scene laughed, It was Aluminium Siren.
Disgusted with the sight, the senshis and the knights started their attack.
Working in pairs, they attacked the four youmas.
"Mercury Aqua Mirage"
"Mercury Enhanting Spear" The two Mercurys had taken the weakest youma.
The youma dodged the first attack, but was hit with
Mercury Knights ice spear. Sailor Mercury had started scanning the youma.
She was distracted a moment and got hit. The hit sent her flying straight
into a tree. The small, green youma didn't look that though but it was.
"Mercury!" shouted Mercury Knight and ran to her. She stopped him with a
wave of her hand, signaling that she was okay. Mercury knight started
defending her while making sure that it didn't get away.
Meanwhile, Both Mars were having trouble with their youma.
The large dragon they were fighting, just shrugged off their attacks
like it was a fly. "Mercury, scan it! Now!" shouted Mars knight.
"Switch" she shouted back, "It's weak against Ice,
and ours is weak against fire." The pairs switched. Finally the pairs
managed to do some damage.
Instead of throwing his spear at the dragon, Mercury Knight fought with it.
He jabbed, thrust and blocked. That was enough distraction, Sailor Mercury
saw her chance and attacked. "Mercury Aqua Mirage". As Mercury Knight saw that,
he threw his spear at the dragon. The spear hit the youmas heart a moment after
Sailor Mercurys attack had weakened it. It howled in pain
and slowly crumbled to dust.
The two Mars used the same tactic. Sailor Mars fired several arrows into the air,
trapping the youma in one place. Mars Knight crept up behind it, and suddenly
shouted "Mars Corona Surrond". The youma was surprised, it hadn't noticed
that Mars Knight had crept up behind it. Still, the youma
being unusual fast moved away in time. Barely dodging the attack.
Seeing that, Sailor Mars quickly discarded her bow and
put her hands together. "Mars Firebird Strike".
The Phoenix soared through the air, hunting for it's prey. This time,
it couldn't dodge the attack. An agonized scream was heard as it to
was destroyed.
The two Venuses were having a tricky time. Their youma seemed to be a shape
shifter. Taking the forms of them, the two had no clue who was who.
The youma toyed around with them for a while, then the shape shifting
youma said something. What they heard was differently. "Takeshi, help me!"
heard Venus Knight while Sailor Venus heard "Minako-chan, help me!".
They turned and looked at eachother, then attacked at the same time.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock",
"Venus Solar Sword".
The Youma shrieked in anger as the two attacked. Since it's strength
lay in the shape shifting and not it's speed or power, the youma was hit
directly with both attacks. Still shrieking the youma shred to dust.
Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Moon had almost no problems with dispatching their
youma. The sphinx had been defeted easely. The other senshis and their knights
seemed to manage, so they'd decided that they'd go for Aluminium Siren.
That battle wasn't easy, Aluminium Siren had dodge their first attacks
while using her attack, "Aluminium Blind Fold". Not being able to see
much, Sailor Jupiter sensed the Anima mate behind her. Wispering
her attack, she turned fast and released it. "Jupiter Thunder Dragon",
thinking it would have a bigger chance hitting Aluminium Siren.
Aluminium Siren was surprised and didn't get out of the way.
She'd managed to form a shield around her,
but the thunder dragon had broken through it.
Though the thunder dragon was greatly weakenend, having broken through
the shield, it still managed to hurt Aluminium Siren badly. Enraged,
Aluminium Siren shouted "Aluminium Dead Sun". Sailor Jupiter leaped
gracefully out of the way, but Sailor Moon didn't manage to do it.
"No.......Moon..Watch out!" shouted Mercury. Then the world stopped.
Like a dear caught in the car lights,
Sailor Moon stood there locked in the place.
Closing her eyes, she thought 'I'm sorry Muffin, I couldn't do it.
We'll meet again sometime.'
The attack was barely inches from her face, then it disappered.
Darien leaped gracefully through gate, the sight wich greeted him horrifide him.
He saw Aluminium Siren attack Jupiter and Moon.
While Jupiter got out of it's way, Sailor Moon stood there.
Mercury shouted to Sailor Moon. When Darien heard the shout,
something snapped inside of him. Acting purly on instincts,
he shouted the first attack that came to his mind.
"Earth World Quake". The time stopped and a vortex appeard infront
of Sailor Moon, sucking up the attack.
"A park was made for people to admire it's beauty.
Not to be a feast for youmas. I won't let you destroy it
by turning it to a banquet for youmas."
Then it all started again. Sailor Moon now had managed to get to her feet,
the others had spread around Aluminium Siren. Seeing that her youmas was destroyed
and that she her self was surronded, she let out a battle cry. Signaling that
she'd rather die then surrender. She knew she'd probably die,
but she wanted to take at least one of them with her. Lashing out with a
high kick towards Jupiter the battle started once more.
Both of them were excellent warriors. They attacked once and then drew back,
sizing the other up. Jupiter had an advantage being longer than Aluminium Siren.
Again the two attacked, this time more viciously. Jupiter ducked under
another high kick while punching Aluminium Siren in her stomach.
Then Aluminium Siren did something surprising. From seemingley no where,
she drew a quarter staff and attacked. Surprised Jupiter drew backwards,
backing up against a tree. Aluminium Siren smiled thinking she'd won.
Seeing the smile on the face of Aluminium Siren, Jupiter focused, it was time.
She flipped over the surprised Anima mate and kicked her right into the tree.
"Sparkling Wide Pressure" shouted Jupiter. Instead of throwing the attack
on Aluminium Siren, the attack grew untill it looked like a quarter staff.
She stood there, waiting for Aluminium Siren to recover. The two attacked.
If the two of them hadn't been focusing on killing the other,
you might have thought that they were dancing. Graceful, fluid movements
making it look like a dance. The two danced their deadly ballet for a long time.
Neither seemed to weaken.
Being desperate to end it, Aluminium Siren started insulting Jupiter. Calling her
weak and desperate. Jupiter on the other hand were silent, calculating the others
moves. Waiting for the right moment to strike. Aluminium Siren really were desperate,
"So why don't you have a knight? The others have one, but not you."
Jupiter still were silent. "I know why. You're ugly, no one wants you.
Not even as a friend." Something snapped in Jupiters head. Making her movements
more faster, she picked up more and more speed. Her hands were blurry as she moved.
"You don't know that, you're just trying to beat me. Like hell you won't."
As she said that she dropped to the ground making a quick sweep kick
with her right leg. Aluminium Siren lost her balance and went down.
Jupiter already standing, swung her quarter staff in a high arc
towards Aluminium Sirens head.
When the quarter staff was a foot from Aluminium Sirens head,
an iron whip wrapped around the staff to stop it.
"Iron Mouse, what the hell are you doing?" asked Sailor Jupiter.
"You shouldn't be up. We thought you'd be out for another day"
said Sailor Mercury. "She's my sister, I can't let you kill her.
Make her human like me, please Sailor Moon.
Give her a second chance" pleaded the now human
Sailor Iron Mouse. Sailor Moon looked at the others.
"We did it to the four sisters and Iron Mouse,
why not her" said Sailor Mercury. Everyone else nodded their agrement.
"Alright, Moon Cosmic Power" shouted Sailor Moon.
Light enveloped the motionless anima mate, healing cuts and bruises.
As the light died down, a young woman stood there.
Hands raised above her head screming "Reborn" before collapsing.
Iron Mouse whip disappeared as she ran towards her sister.
Carefully craddling her head in her lap, she whispered soothing words.
The senshis and the knights stood there watching the scene.
Though they'd been attacked by the two, they couldn't
help to feel sorry for them. "Sailor Moon, We should head back
to the shrine now. They both need their rest" said Jupiter.
"Right, but how are we going to get them there?" "We could've teleported
if we had the energy, but I don't think anyone has" said Sailor Mercury.
"I'll carry Aluminium Siren, someone else can help Iron Mouse" said Jupiter.
Carefully picking up Aluminium Siren, Jupiter leaped up on a roof
and started jumping towards the shrine.
Venus Knight lifted Iron Mouse and leaped. The others followed them
back to the temple.
When Jupiter got to the temple she put Aluminium Siren in a bed,
covering her. After she'd detransformed she walked out side the temple,
the others soon arrived. She let them detransform before she approached them.
"I put Aluminium Siren in your guestroom, Mars."
"Good. Chad, get the extra bed." "Of course Rei-chan." "No, not rest.
Need to tell you" said Iron Mouse. "You shouldn't do that,
you need to rest" said Amy. "I need to tell you before it's to late."
"Let's go inside then and sit down" said Rei.
They went inside and sat down waiting for Rei and Lita to return
with some tea and sandwiches. The senshis and their knights was a bit uneasy
as they sat beside one of their former enemies. Rei came in with a tray
with tea and tea cups. Lita followed with a sandwich tray. Of course,
Serena started pigging out on the sandwiches. Everyone sweatdropped
as Serena looked up and asked "What?" They hadn't had a chance to answer
since a portal opened up in the living room. Out stepped the other senshis,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
Sailor Saturn bowed to her princess and commander. "Your highness,
The outher senshis at your service". "Stop that Saturn, you know I hated
formalitys then and now". "I couldn't help it" said Saturn with a wicked smile.
"Detransform and take a seat. Iron Mouse wanted to tell us something."
"Iron Mouse? As in Sailor Iron Mouse the evil?" asked a surprised Neptune.
Uranus on the other hand didn't waste any time.
She instantly jumped infront of Serena and began her attack. "World shak..."
"Sailor Uranus, stand down. The Princess has her reason" Said
Saturn before detranforming. "Yes commander" grunted Uranus
before detransforming. Neptune and Pluto already had
detransformed and sat down in a sofa.
"Sailor Iron Mouse and Sailor Aluminium Siren are our allies as for now.
Not an enemy, all tries to hurt them will be taken as treason. They're
under the supreme princess protection, understood?" said a serious looking
Serena. Everyone nodded. "Wait a minute. Iron Mouse, what would you like
to be called? We can't go around calling you Iron Mouse all the time" asked Amy.
"I used Nezu Chuuko when I was on earth on a mission. I guess that will do."
"Okey, Chuuko. Please tell us what you wanted to tell us" said Serena in a regal
tone. "You know that your enemy is Sailor Galaxia right?" "Correct" said Pluto.
"But you don't know what she's after, so you can't protect the things she's after."
"That to is correct." "Sailor Galaxia is after a special Star seed. A star seed
is something every human has." "But why does she want that star seed?" asked
Mina. "What do you think? She wants to rule the universe of course. Isn't that
what every villain wants?" Chuuko laughed a bitter laugh.
"Everyone has a star seed except the Anima mates." "Why don't you have a star seed?"
asked Michiru. "She took them from us, we should've been dead. But she kept us
in her service. The only thing keeping us alive is these braclets" said Chuuko
pointing on the braclets placed on her arms. "Only Galaxia can take them away."
"But now you won't need them to survive since Serena made you human" said Luna.
"Yes, finally we're free from Galaxia. We once were normal Sailor Senshis,
untill she came. She took our lifes from us, turned our selves to mindless
drones and destroyed our galaxy. For that we're in your debt your highness.
We will serve you till we die." said a determind Chuuko. "Serena, turn to
your princess form" ordered Luna. Serena looked at Luna strangeley
then did so. "Kneel to the Supreme Princess of the Moon, Nezu Chuuko."
Chuuko knelt before Serenity. "Do you Nezu Cuuko, swear to protect the
Supreme Princess with your life?" "I will protect the Supreme Princess
with my life or die trying to protect her" answered Chuuko.
"Rise Nezu Chuuko. We will take you in our service." Chuuko rose from the floor,
bowing to Serenity. "Thank you for this honour, Your highness. I won't fail you."
Serenity reverted back to Serena and embraced Chuuko. "No thank you, your help
will be needed." Serena let go of Chuuko and smiled. "Let's get back to business"
said Lita.
"Right, were were I?" "You were telling us about how your galaxy fell, but you said
'Once we were normal Sailor Senhsis'. Did you refer to you and Aluminium Siren
or are there more anima mates?" asked Luna. "There were 20 sailor senshis
in our Galaxy. Four of us accepted the deal Galaxia gave us. Me, Aluminium Siren,
Lead Crow and Tin Nyanko." "So there're two more that'll replace you now?" asked Lita.
"That's right. Galaxia will send them here since she's busy in France."
"France? That's were Ken is" said Lita. "Ken? You don't mean Ken Asagiri?"
asked a surprised Chuuko. "You know Ken?" "Galaxia sensed some strong energy
readings from him. She took a disguise as Alinoƫ and seduced him. She controlls
him, he would do anything for her now." "I knew it was something weird with
that Alinoƫ. She was to perfect. When I get my hands on her."
Lita cracked her knuckles and punched a hole thrugh a wall. Rei sweatdropped,
"Ehh..Lita try not to damage the wall to much." "Oh. Sorry Rei. I'm just to mad."
said Lita through clenched teeth.
Serena went up to Lita and hugged her, "Don't worry. We'll get him back." "Thanks
Serena, I needed that." Lita smiled at her princess thanking Juno for letting
her serve her princess.
As Chuuko wavered everyone turned to her. "How are you Chuuko?" asked amy
with concern in her voice. "I'm fine, just tired." "Maybe you should rest then
Chuuko-chan" said Luna. Surprised Chuuko smiled at Luna. "No I need to finish
this. Galaxia is in France trying to find out if Ken has the star seed that she's
been looking for. Even if he hasn't it, she'll claim him. I'm assured that he isn't
the one with the right star seed. He couldn't have it.
Other wise she'd already taken it. Aluminium Siren will pledge her allegiance
to you. The others surley would do that to if they were turned back to humans.
Untill then all we can do is wait." "Thank you for your help Chuuko.
If you want you can stay here while we discuss what we were discussing when
Gaia came or you can rest." said Luna. "I'll stay, as I said. I'll die
to protect the princess. I need to know what you're discussing so I won't
interfere with your plans." "Good. Now, we were going to
discuss why I've become more mature, how Minao and Eric knows eachother
and what Eric meant when he first transformed." "Huh? I said something
the first time I transformed?" asked Eric. "We'll discuss that later." said Luna.
"As for why I've become more mature, is because I'm about to merge with
Princess Serenity." "You're what?" shrieked Haruka. "Each Moon proncess recived
her full power at her 18th birthday. I never did." "I remember now. You were going
to recive your birthright the day Beryl attacked." said Michiru. "And now
you'll finally recive your birthright" said Hotaru quietly. "Right, so now you know
that. Everyone understands?" As they were about to say yes, Mina gasped.
In the door way stood Aluminuim Siren.
Chuuko immediatley stood and rushed over
to support Aluminium Siren. They walked over to the others,
as Aluminium Siren stood before Serena she knelt.
"Thank you for saving me, your highness. Even though
I attacked you, you showed mercy and freed me and Iron Mouse.
For that I'm in your debt." "You don't have to kneel before me, rise."
"One moment, Sailor Aluminium Siren. Do you wish to get revenge
on Sailor Galaxia? For destroying your homeworld,
for using you as a slave?" asked Luna. "I wish to avenge my people that
died, I wish to get retribution." said Aluminium Siren fiercley.
Serena knowing what Luna was doing transformed to Serenity.
"Do you Aluminium Siren, swear to protect the Supreme Princess with your life?"
"I'll protect the Supreme Princess or die trying."
"Rise Sailor Aluminium Siren. We welcome you and Sailor Iron Mouse
into our ranks. Fear not that you won't get a chance to get retribution." Sernity
reverted back to Serena.
"Now I want to know how Mina and Eric know each other. We haven't seen him
around here in Tokyo with Mina." said Lita.
"Well you see it started back in England...." Mina stopped.
*Flashback*
London, England.
The alarm had alerted the police, but the teller that had pushed
the alarm was dead. About twenty people layed on the floor, waiting, hoping.
They knew that some of them might not make it out. One of them was already dead.
The police wouldn't be able to do much, yet a small hope filled them.
Everyone had heard about that mysterious girl in a sailor uniform,
calling her self Sailor V.
"Look it's Sailor V! She's going to save us." shouted someone. "Darn that Sailor V.
Alright boys, Let's knock that bitch down." shouted one of the eight robbers.
Only problem was that four of the robbers already were knocked down.
Sailor V did a perfect crecent kick on the fifth robber, knocking him out.
'Shit. I heard she was good but not that good' thought the leader of the robbers.
While she fought her way through the remaining robbers, dodging bullets.
A young man carefully crawled towards the leader. The leader being distracted
by Sailor V fight, didn't notice the young man. He grabbed a pot with flowers
and bashed it into the head of the leader, just as Sailor V finished of the last
robber. She smiled at him and winked before she leaped up through the skylights
and jumped away on the roofs.
The young mans name was Eric. Other thought he was strange since he
often dreamed of things that happened and easely fell into a trance.
The other shunned him, he never thought someone would care for him
but that would change. The clock rang at 7am the morning after
the bank robbery, he knew he'd dreamed about something important
but he couldn't recall it. He got up from the bed
and went into the bathroom. Taking a long shower he tried to recall it.
He thought about it when he brushed his teeth, when he ate his breakfast
and when he walked the short distance to the school. Looking at his clock,
he saw that it alread was 7:43am. 'Shit. I'm getting late' thought Eric and
started sprinting towards the school. "Watch out! Sorry! Move out!
Out of my Way! Sorry!" shouted someone.
Mina had fallen asleep after the clock went of. She was late.
'Why didn't Artemis try to wake me up' thought Mina. Artemis
had indeed tried to wake Mina up. He'd yeowled and he'd scratched,
but nothing did wake Mina up. Then he tried something else.
"Mina, there's someone here to see you. A Brad Pitt I think he said."
"What? Brad Pitt? Here? Tell him to wait a bit." shouted Mina back
and rushed to the bathroom. She came out ten minutes later.
"Where's Brad Pitt?" "He's not here. I couldn't think of something that'd
wake you up other than that." "Why I ought to...." Mina looked at the watch
she'd passed. It was 7:38. She'd 7 minutes 'till school started
and it was her first day at her new school. "Why didn't you wake me earlier?"
"Mina, I tried to but you didn't wake up." "You should have tried harder"
shouted Mina as she ran out of the house.
While running, Mina shouted : "Watch out! Sorry! Move out! Out of my way!
Sorry!" Mina turned her head to see if the man was alright as she
sprinted down the sidewalk. *Wamm* She ran straight into someone,
making the two of them fall. She landed right on top of the person.
Looking down into those deep gray eyes, she lost track of time. The time seemed
to have stopped. Then she regained conciusness quickly rolling of the poor
guy, pulling his hand to help him get up. Looking up at the beautiful girl,
he couldn't help but notice her resamblance to Sailor V. He accepted her
hand and was about to say something, when they heard a clock ring.
"I'm late" both said and looked surprised at the other. They both
looked strangely on the other and then resumed their running.
'Huh? Is she going to my school' though Eric as she took the same way as him.
'Huh? Is he going to my new school? thought Mina. When they reached the
school, both of them slowed down. "I'm Eric" said Eric. "Mina. Do you go to
this school?" "Yeah. You?" "First day today." said Mina with a smile.
"What's your first class then?" "Home Ec." "That's my first class to.
I'll show you the way if you want to." "Thank you. I was a bit worried
about finding my way." "I know the feeling," said Eric with a smile,
"So how come you look so much like Sailor V?" "I don't know. Must be in the
genes. Actually, I'm going to play Sailor V in a comming Sailor V movie,
but don't tell anyone that." 'Hmm I know him from somewhere. Now where have
I seen him?' "Wow. Playing Sailor V in a movie. And you're going to be in
my class." Mina smiled. 'Uh oh. He's the guy from yesterday. I knew I'd
seen him somewhere.'
*End Flashback*
"We got to know eachother over the years. He knew I was Sailor V since he'd
a premotion once when we were at the park. He knew that I had a crush on Alan.
He didn't like me battleing alone, so he sometimes followed to make sure I had at
some back up. I went to him after the explotion in that warehouse. He fixed me
up and then I left for Tokyo without saying goodbye. I don't know how he found me
here, but I'm happy that he did" said Mina looking lovingly at Eric.
Everyone turned to Eric silently asking for the answer.
Blushing, Eric cleared his throat and put his hand in his pocket. From the
pocket a small braclet with a charm slipped out. Mina gasped. "You still have
it?" asked Mina quietly. "I saved it since it was one of the few things
you'd left." Mina carefully picked it up. "This's like one of ours
communicators. It can send and reply different messages. I gave on to
Eric, so he'd know what was going on." "At first I was devastated, My Miko-chan
had left me. But then about a month later, I heard something I never
had heard before. The bracelet was beeping franticly in the middle of the
night. I picked it up and watched it. I heard Mina voice calling all the
senshis to the park in Juuban. I knew Juuban was in Tokyo, so I tried going
there. But my parents stopped me. It took a while to convince them,
but I got away from England and got here. Finally seeing Miko-Chan."
A single tear slipped from Minas eye. "I'm sorry I left you, I didn't
want to but it was for the best for you. I didn't want you to get killed."
sobbed Mina. Eric embraced Mina. "I would gladly give my life up,
instead of you giving yours up." The others took that as a que and moved out
from the living room, moving to Reis kitchen.
"Look there's no point in continuing this today. Everyone go home and
rest." ordered Serena. "Chuuko and....wait a minute. Aluminium Siren,
we can't call you that to." said Rei. "She's right. Is there something
special you want to be called Aluminium Siren?" asked Amy.
"I guess since Iron Mouse uses her disguise name as her real name,
I can do that to." "Umm..What's your disguise name then?" asked Amy.
"Ayasai Reiko. Just so we don't have any mistakes with 'Reiko' and 'Rei',
call me Iko." "Good Iko. You and Chuuko can stay here." said Rei.
"Thank you so much for your hospitality even though we don't deserve it"
said the two former anima mates. "What's done is done. It can't be changed.
Everything is in the past, you have to let go of it." said Serena with a smile.
"Good Night" called everyone as they went their separate ways.
'Again, I walk away alone. Why did Galaxia go after Ken. Why oh why?'
thought Lita as she walked to her apartment. Putting the key inside the
lock to her apartment, Lita sighed. She to wanted someone to be there for her,
to catch her when she fell. She made herself a cup of tea and curled up
infront of her tv. 'Nothing new or intressant.' thought Lita as she fell asleep
on the couch. Lita slept there, but it wasn't a peaceful sleep.
A darkness surronded her, trying to pull her apart. She couldn't breathe,
she couldn't see. Everything was black, a shrill beeping noise started echoing
through the darkness. Then something came for her. A man with a dagger walked up.
The darkness held her in one place as he made a slashing motion towards her
throat. She awoke statled to feel pain in her neck.
Hearing her communicator beeping on her nightstand, she walked towards her
bedroom. When she passed a mirror in the hallway, she stopped. What she saw
horrifide her. A thin dark red line had appeared on her throath,
dark red blood ran down her throat. The beeping was more intense now,
so she hurried to it. Picking it up she made sure that her throat couldn't
be seen. "Jupiter here" "Already" said Mina, "Anyway, we're having an
emergency meeting now. Eric had a premotion."
"I'll be there. Just need to change." Lita quickly put on her clothes
then leaped from her balcony up on the roof. Then she started jumping from
rooftop to rooftop. She was almost there when a voice was heard.
"Crow Enchanting Reflection".
Lita leaped out of the way, barely doging the attack.
She knew she couldn't transform, the only thing she could
do was to hope that the others would come and save her.
Quickly running, Lita did a jump kick. Lead Crow managed to dodge
and countered with a blow to Litas stomach. Getting hit full force
by Lead Crows fist made Lita drop to the ground. "Nyanko Dark Fire."
Dark waves of fire crashed into Lita making her scream out loud in pain.
"Nyanko? What are you doing here?" Lead crows tone demanded an answer.
"What do you think I'm doing? Starting a conga line?
I'm here for her start seed." Lead crow snorted, "As if, I'm getting her
star seed." "No you won't. I will" said Tin Nyanko with a snug smile.
Enraged with Tin Nyanko, Lead Crow attacked. "Crow Enchanting Reflection."
A mirror reflecting a dark crow with spread wings enveloped Tin Nyanko.
Nyanko just laughed and went out from the attack without a single scratch.
"Oh, Galaxia-sama must've given me a new power. Prepare to surrender!
Nyanko Dark Fire" at the same time someone shouted "Aluminium Neutrulize."
On a roof top next to theirs stood the Sailor Senshis, the crecent moon
shining brightly behind them. Only the silhouettes of them could be seen.
"Lita!" shouted everyone. Mercury jumped over to Lita's side to scan her.
"She's alive, but barely" shouted she to the others. "Good, more of you.
Now we can get rid of you all" said Lead Crow. "What we? I'll get rid of
them. Die!" Tin Nyanko attacked again. This time with physical attacks.
Lead Crow dodged a high spin kick and moved backwards to attack.
Seeing this the Senshis were going to interwene. But Aluminium Siren
stopped them. "That won't be necessary. My attack neutrulized their
powers, they won't be able to attack with their attacks for a while.
I suggest you let them fight for a while. They've been like that
ever since....Ever since we betrayed our world." Sailor Moon nodded,
"Okay, but if that won't work. We'll go in." The senshis watched
with horror as the two fought madly.
At first it seemed like it was going to be a normal fight,
but it weren't a normal fight. Both of them were determind to kill eachother,
having forgot the audience. The battle seemed to rage for hours,
but in reality it hadn't beem more than five minutes before
Sailor Moon turned to Aluminium Siren and Iron Mouse. "I'll end this now
wether or not you agree." The two nodded after a while. "Please don't
kill them" pleaded Aluminium Siren, "They were and are our sisters
after all." "I won't kill them if it's not necessary." Sailor Moon
turned towards the combatants. "Stop!" shouted she with a voice that
demanded to be obeyed. "Please sisters, Remember the good times"
pleaded Iron Mouse. "Good times? What Good times, there are no
good times" said Lead Crow. "Sailor Moon, Help them. Heal them to."
"We don't want your help. We don't need your help" said Tin Nyanko
while hitting Iron Mouse hard, sending her right into a door.
Aluminium Siren rushed to her sisters side and cradled her head in
her lap. "You may kill us if you want to, but know that all we
wanted for you was your freedom" said Aluminium Siren softly.
"Our freedom? We are free" claimed Lead Crow. "Do you really,"
said Aluminium Siren, "Look inside your self. You've destroyed
places for star seeds, taken innocents lifes and worst of all.
Betrayed your code of honur and your sisters." Iron Mouse
struggled to rise, "You really think you're free, but the only
reason you're alive is because of those bracelets. Bracelets that
only Sailor Galaxia can take off. You're just her puppets, slaves.
I never thought I'd see a once proud senshi acting like a slave
to another, Now I see my two sisters as slaves" said a clearly
disgusted Iron Mouse. That speach seemed to work it's way into
their heads, they slowly lowered their hands and moved towards them.
Then Lead Crow and Tin Nyanko heard a voice inside them. Whispering
that Iron Mouse and Aluminium Siren was dead, that the ones before
them just were simple illusions, that they served the true purpose.
Both of them stopped foots from the senshis and knights.
Simultaneos they attacked, "Crow Enchanting Reflection."
"Nyanko Dark Fire." Everyone leaped out of the way. Aluminium Siren
and Iron Mouse helped eachother, while Venus Knight carefully
lifted the now unconcious Lita.
"Get Lita out of here!" ordered Sailor Moon. Nodding,
Venus Knight started jumping away from the battle scene.
"Don't worry about that. We'll get them any way." said Tin Nyanko
with a snug smile. "Are you going to talk or take care of them?"
asked Lead Crow. Tin Nyanko didn't even bother to answer that,
instead she attacked. "Nyanko Dark Fire." Lead Crow was annoyed that
Tin Nyanko didn't answer, but decided that she could kill her later.
She to attacked the senshis that now had scattered. "Crow Enchanting Reflection."
The senshis and the remaining knights tried to find any gaps in the two
anima mates defence while dodging their attacks. Sailor Mercury was first,
seeing Tin Nyanko being distracted by Tuxed mask she powered up and launched
her attack. "Mercury Aqua Rapsody." Tin Nyanko didn't notice the attack
untill it impacted...... On her shield. "You think I'm that stupid?
I have a shield unlike my sisters. Pah. Letting your gaurd down never
is good, you can get killed." said Tin Nyanko as she kicked Sailor Mercury
right under her ribs. Mercury felt the air getting pressed out from her lungs.
Tin Nyanko then kicked her so Sailor Mercury laid on her back.
Nyanko placed her foot on Mercurys throath, efficently cutting of her
air supply. Mercury couldn't breathe, it felt like a 100 ton weight had
been placed on her chest. Tin Nyanko knew that someone could attack,
making her lose her focus. So she extened her shield,
creating a barrier that hindered the Senshis and knights to help their
friend and lover. Black and silver spots now danced before Sailor Mercurys eyes,
Her last concious thought was 'I failed you princess. I will be back.'
Venus knight had jumped about three blocks from the battle when Lita stirred.
She slowly opened her eyes and shook her head, being dizzy from the blows.
"Are you okay Lita?" Then she fainted again as he finished his question.
Venus knight shook his head as she fainted. 'Guess she wasn't okay.'
Then she spasmed, arching her back, clawing at something unseen at her throat.
He quickly put her down and checked her pulse. He searched her wrists,
he searched her throat and he put his hand over her heart, no beat.
*****************************************************************************
The senshis and the knights had gathered at the lake in the park,
having a picnick. Trying to act like normal teenagers for once.
'Muffin, where are you?' thought Serena as she stood by the lake.
Almost seven days had passed since he left. Mina smelled a flower thinking
'I don't like this calm, it's to peaceful'. A loud crash was heard,
Lita felt a wave of pain washing through her body. She stumbled,
everyone saw it and shouted : "Lita!" "I'm okay, It hurt like hell for a while".
Ami took out her computer and started to scan Lita.
"Hmm...strange..." What's strange?" asked Lita. Ami was about to say,
when a loud scream was heard. "YOUMA!" "It came from the western
part of the park" said Raye. "Henshin yo minna" said Serena.
Sudden calls from the girls and a look of focus on the guys faces,
in a flash the normal looking teenagers were gons. In their place stood
the legendary senshis and their knights. They looked at eachother
and nodded, they ran fast towards the western part. The sight they saw,
made them horrified. This didn't seem like a normal youma attack.
It looked like an all war zone. Four youmas were feasting on peoples energy,
draining them to the brink of death and then tossing them aside.
A woman hoovering above the scene laughed, It was Aluminium Siren.
Disgusted with the sight, the senshis and the knights started their attack.
Working in pairs, they attacked the four youmas.
"Mercury Aqua Mirage"
"Mercury Enhanting Spear" The two Mercurys had taken the weakest youma.
The youma dodged the first attack, but was hit with
Mercury Knights ice spear. Sailor Mercury had started scanning the youma.
She was distracted a moment and got hit. The hit sent her flying straight
into a tree. The small, green youma didn't look that though but it was.
"Mercury!" shouted Mercury Knight and ran to her. She stopped him with a
wave of her hand, signaling that she was okay. Mercury knight started
defending her while making sure that it didn't get away.
Meanwhile, Both Mars were having trouble with their youma.
The large dragon they were fighting, just shrugged off their attacks
like it was a fly. "Mercury, scan it! Now!" shouted Mars knight.
"Switch" she shouted back, "It's weak against Ice,
and ours is weak against fire." The pairs switched. Finally the pairs
managed to do some damage.
Instead of throwing his spear at the dragon, Mercury Knight fought with it.
He jabbed, thrust and blocked. That was enough distraction, Sailor Mercury
saw her chance and attacked. "Mercury Aqua Mirage". As Mercury Knight saw that,
he threw his spear at the dragon. The spear hit the youmas heart a moment after
Sailor Mercurys attack had weakened it. It howled in pain
and slowly crumbled to dust.
The two Mars used the same tactic. Sailor Mars fired several arrows into the air,
trapping the youma in one place. Mars Knight crept up behind it, and suddenly
shouted "Mars Corona Surrond". The youma was surprised, it hadn't noticed
that Mars Knight had crept up behind it. Still, the youma
being unusual fast moved away in time. Barely dodging the attack.
Seeing that, Sailor Mars quickly discarded her bow and
put her hands together. "Mars Firebird Strike".
The Phoenix soared through the air, hunting for it's prey. This time,
it couldn't dodge the attack. An agonized scream was heard as it to
was destroyed.
The two Venuses were having a tricky time. Their youma seemed to be a shape
shifter. Taking the forms of them, the two had no clue who was who.
The youma toyed around with them for a while, then the shape shifting
youma said something. What they heard was differently. "Takeshi, help me!"
heard Venus Knight while Sailor Venus heard "Minako-chan, help me!".
They turned and looked at eachother, then attacked at the same time.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock",
"Venus Solar Sword".
The Youma shrieked in anger as the two attacked. Since it's strength
lay in the shape shifting and not it's speed or power, the youma was hit
directly with both attacks. Still shrieking the youma shred to dust.
Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Moon had almost no problems with dispatching their
youma. The sphinx had been defeted easely. The other senshis and their knights
seemed to manage, so they'd decided that they'd go for Aluminium Siren.
That battle wasn't easy, Aluminium Siren had dodge their first attacks
while using her attack, "Aluminium Blind Fold". Not being able to see
much, Sailor Jupiter sensed the Anima mate behind her. Wispering
her attack, she turned fast and released it. "Jupiter Thunder Dragon",
thinking it would have a bigger chance hitting Aluminium Siren.
Aluminium Siren was surprised and didn't get out of the way.
She'd managed to form a shield around her,
but the thunder dragon had broken through it.
Though the thunder dragon was greatly weakenend, having broken through
the shield, it still managed to hurt Aluminium Siren badly. Enraged,
Aluminium Siren shouted "Aluminium Dead Sun". Sailor Jupiter leaped
gracefully out of the way, but Sailor Moon didn't manage to do it.
"No.......Moon..Watch out!" shouted Mercury. Then the world stopped.
Like a dear caught in the car lights,
Sailor Moon stood there locked in the place.
Closing her eyes, she thought 'I'm sorry Muffin, I couldn't do it.
We'll meet again sometime.'
The attack was barely inches from her face, then it disappered.
Darien leaped gracefully through gate, the sight wich greeted him horrifide him.
He saw Aluminium Siren attack Jupiter and Moon.
While Jupiter got out of it's way, Sailor Moon stood there.
Mercury shouted to Sailor Moon. When Darien heard the shout,
something snapped inside of him. Acting purly on instincts,
he shouted the first attack that came to his mind.
"Earth World Quake". The time stopped and a vortex appeard infront
of Sailor Moon, sucking up the attack.
"A park was made for people to admire it's beauty.
Not to be a feast for youmas. I won't let you destroy it
by turning it to a banquet for youmas."
Then it all started again. Sailor Moon now had managed to get to her feet,
the others had spread around Aluminium Siren. Seeing that her youmas was destroyed
and that she her self was surronded, she let out a battle cry. Signaling that
she'd rather die then surrender. She knew she'd probably die,
but she wanted to take at least one of them with her. Lashing out with a
high kick towards Jupiter the battle started once more.
Both of them were excellent warriors. They attacked once and then drew back,
sizing the other up. Jupiter had an advantage being longer than Aluminium Siren.
Again the two attacked, this time more viciously. Jupiter ducked under
another high kick while punching Aluminium Siren in her stomach.
Then Aluminium Siren did something surprising. From seemingley no where,
she drew a quarter staff and attacked. Surprised Jupiter drew backwards,
backing up against a tree. Aluminium Siren smiled thinking she'd won.
Seeing the smile on the face of Aluminium Siren, Jupiter focused, it was time.
She flipped over the surprised Anima mate and kicked her right into the tree.
"Sparkling Wide Pressure" shouted Jupiter. Instead of throwing the attack
on Aluminium Siren, the attack grew untill it looked like a quarter staff.
She stood there, waiting for Aluminium Siren to recover. The two attacked.
If the two of them hadn't been focusing on killing the other,
you might have thought that they were dancing. Graceful, fluid movements
making it look like a dance. The two danced their deadly ballet for a long time.
Neither seemed to weaken.
Being desperate to end it, Aluminium Siren started insulting Jupiter. Calling her
weak and desperate. Jupiter on the other hand were silent, calculating the others
moves. Waiting for the right moment to strike. Aluminium Siren really were desperate,
"So why don't you have a knight? The others have one, but not you."
Jupiter still were silent. "I know why. You're ugly, no one wants you.
Not even as a friend." Something snapped in Jupiters head. Making her movements
more faster, she picked up more and more speed. Her hands were blurry as she moved.
"You don't know that, you're just trying to beat me. Like hell you won't."
As she said that she dropped to the ground making a quick sweep kick
with her right leg. Aluminium Siren lost her balance and went down.
Jupiter already standing, swung her quarter staff in a high arc
towards Aluminium Sirens head.
When the quarter staff was a foot from Aluminium Sirens head,
an iron whip wrapped around the staff to stop it.
"Iron Mouse, what the hell are you doing?" asked Sailor Jupiter.
"You shouldn't be up. We thought you'd be out for another day"
said Sailor Mercury. "She's my sister, I can't let you kill her.
Make her human like me, please Sailor Moon.
Give her a second chance" pleaded the now human
Sailor Iron Mouse. Sailor Moon looked at the others.
"We did it to the four sisters and Iron Mouse,
why not her" said Sailor Mercury. Everyone else nodded their agrement.
"Alright, Moon Cosmic Power" shouted Sailor Moon.
Light enveloped the motionless anima mate, healing cuts and bruises.
As the light died down, a young woman stood there.
Hands raised above her head screming "Reborn" before collapsing.
Iron Mouse whip disappeared as she ran towards her sister.
Carefully craddling her head in her lap, she whispered soothing words.
The senshis and the knights stood there watching the scene.
Though they'd been attacked by the two, they couldn't
help to feel sorry for them. "Sailor Moon, We should head back
to the shrine now. They both need their rest" said Jupiter.
"Right, but how are we going to get them there?" "We could've teleported
if we had the energy, but I don't think anyone has" said Sailor Mercury.
"I'll carry Aluminium Siren, someone else can help Iron Mouse" said Jupiter.
Carefully picking up Aluminium Siren, Jupiter leaped up on a roof
and started jumping towards the shrine.
Venus Knight lifted Iron Mouse and leaped. The others followed them
back to the temple.
When Jupiter got to the temple she put Aluminium Siren in a bed,
covering her. After she'd detransformed she walked out side the temple,
the others soon arrived. She let them detransform before she approached them.
"I put Aluminium Siren in your guestroom, Mars."
"Good. Chad, get the extra bed." "Of course Rei-chan." "No, not rest.
Need to tell you" said Iron Mouse. "You shouldn't do that,
you need to rest" said Amy. "I need to tell you before it's to late."
"Let's go inside then and sit down" said Rei.
They went inside and sat down waiting for Rei and Lita to return
with some tea and sandwiches. The senshis and their knights was a bit uneasy
as they sat beside one of their former enemies. Rei came in with a tray
with tea and tea cups. Lita followed with a sandwich tray. Of course,
Serena started pigging out on the sandwiches. Everyone sweatdropped
as Serena looked up and asked "What?" They hadn't had a chance to answer
since a portal opened up in the living room. Out stepped the other senshis,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
Sailor Saturn bowed to her princess and commander. "Your highness,
The outher senshis at your service". "Stop that Saturn, you know I hated
formalitys then and now". "I couldn't help it" said Saturn with a wicked smile.
"Detransform and take a seat. Iron Mouse wanted to tell us something."
"Iron Mouse? As in Sailor Iron Mouse the evil?" asked a surprised Neptune.
Uranus on the other hand didn't waste any time.
She instantly jumped infront of Serena and began her attack. "World shak..."
"Sailor Uranus, stand down. The Princess has her reason" Said
Saturn before detranforming. "Yes commander" grunted Uranus
before detransforming. Neptune and Pluto already had
detransformed and sat down in a sofa.
"Sailor Iron Mouse and Sailor Aluminium Siren are our allies as for now.
Not an enemy, all tries to hurt them will be taken as treason. They're
under the supreme princess protection, understood?" said a serious looking
Serena. Everyone nodded. "Wait a minute. Iron Mouse, what would you like
to be called? We can't go around calling you Iron Mouse all the time" asked Amy.
"I used Nezu Chuuko when I was on earth on a mission. I guess that will do."
"Okey, Chuuko. Please tell us what you wanted to tell us" said Serena in a regal
tone. "You know that your enemy is Sailor Galaxia right?" "Correct" said Pluto.
"But you don't know what she's after, so you can't protect the things she's after."
"That to is correct." "Sailor Galaxia is after a special Star seed. A star seed
is something every human has." "But why does she want that star seed?" asked
Mina. "What do you think? She wants to rule the universe of course. Isn't that
what every villain wants?" Chuuko laughed a bitter laugh.
"Everyone has a star seed except the Anima mates." "Why don't you have a star seed?"
asked Michiru. "She took them from us, we should've been dead. But she kept us
in her service. The only thing keeping us alive is these braclets" said Chuuko
pointing on the braclets placed on her arms. "Only Galaxia can take them away."
"But now you won't need them to survive since Serena made you human" said Luna.
"Yes, finally we're free from Galaxia. We once were normal Sailor Senshis,
untill she came. She took our lifes from us, turned our selves to mindless
drones and destroyed our galaxy. For that we're in your debt your highness.
We will serve you till we die." said a determind Chuuko. "Serena, turn to
your princess form" ordered Luna. Serena looked at Luna strangeley
then did so. "Kneel to the Supreme Princess of the Moon, Nezu Chuuko."
Chuuko knelt before Serenity. "Do you Nezu Cuuko, swear to protect the
Supreme Princess with your life?" "I will protect the Supreme Princess
with my life or die trying to protect her" answered Chuuko.
"Rise Nezu Chuuko. We will take you in our service." Chuuko rose from the floor,
bowing to Serenity. "Thank you for this honour, Your highness. I won't fail you."
Serenity reverted back to Serena and embraced Chuuko. "No thank you, your help
will be needed." Serena let go of Chuuko and smiled. "Let's get back to business"
said Lita.
"Right, were were I?" "You were telling us about how your galaxy fell, but you said
'Once we were normal Sailor Senhsis'. Did you refer to you and Aluminium Siren
or are there more anima mates?" asked Luna. "There were 20 sailor senshis
in our Galaxy. Four of us accepted the deal Galaxia gave us. Me, Aluminium Siren,
Lead Crow and Tin Nyanko." "So there're two more that'll replace you now?" asked Lita.
"That's right. Galaxia will send them here since she's busy in France."
"France? That's were Ken is" said Lita. "Ken? You don't mean Ken Asagiri?"
asked a surprised Chuuko. "You know Ken?" "Galaxia sensed some strong energy
readings from him. She took a disguise as Alinoƫ and seduced him. She controlls
him, he would do anything for her now." "I knew it was something weird with
that Alinoƫ. She was to perfect. When I get my hands on her."
Lita cracked her knuckles and punched a hole thrugh a wall. Rei sweatdropped,
"Ehh..Lita try not to damage the wall to much." "Oh. Sorry Rei. I'm just to mad."
said Lita through clenched teeth.
Serena went up to Lita and hugged her, "Don't worry. We'll get him back." "Thanks
Serena, I needed that." Lita smiled at her princess thanking Juno for letting
her serve her princess.
As Chuuko wavered everyone turned to her. "How are you Chuuko?" asked amy
with concern in her voice. "I'm fine, just tired." "Maybe you should rest then
Chuuko-chan" said Luna. Surprised Chuuko smiled at Luna. "No I need to finish
this. Galaxia is in France trying to find out if Ken has the star seed that she's
been looking for. Even if he hasn't it, she'll claim him. I'm assured that he isn't
the one with the right star seed. He couldn't have it.
Other wise she'd already taken it. Aluminium Siren will pledge her allegiance
to you. The others surley would do that to if they were turned back to humans.
Untill then all we can do is wait." "Thank you for your help Chuuko.
If you want you can stay here while we discuss what we were discussing when
Gaia came or you can rest." said Luna. "I'll stay, as I said. I'll die
to protect the princess. I need to know what you're discussing so I won't
interfere with your plans." "Good. Now, we were going to
discuss why I've become more mature, how Minao and Eric knows eachother
and what Eric meant when he first transformed." "Huh? I said something
the first time I transformed?" asked Eric. "We'll discuss that later." said Luna.
"As for why I've become more mature, is because I'm about to merge with
Princess Serenity." "You're what?" shrieked Haruka. "Each Moon proncess recived
her full power at her 18th birthday. I never did." "I remember now. You were going
to recive your birthright the day Beryl attacked." said Michiru. "And now
you'll finally recive your birthright" said Hotaru quietly. "Right, so now you know
that. Everyone understands?" As they were about to say yes, Mina gasped.
In the door way stood Aluminuim Siren.
Chuuko immediatley stood and rushed over
to support Aluminium Siren. They walked over to the others,
as Aluminium Siren stood before Serena she knelt.
"Thank you for saving me, your highness. Even though
I attacked you, you showed mercy and freed me and Iron Mouse.
For that I'm in your debt." "You don't have to kneel before me, rise."
"One moment, Sailor Aluminium Siren. Do you wish to get revenge
on Sailor Galaxia? For destroying your homeworld,
for using you as a slave?" asked Luna. "I wish to avenge my people that
died, I wish to get retribution." said Aluminium Siren fiercley.
Serena knowing what Luna was doing transformed to Serenity.
"Do you Aluminium Siren, swear to protect the Supreme Princess with your life?"
"I'll protect the Supreme Princess or die trying."
"Rise Sailor Aluminium Siren. We welcome you and Sailor Iron Mouse
into our ranks. Fear not that you won't get a chance to get retribution." Sernity
reverted back to Serena.
"Now I want to know how Mina and Eric know each other. We haven't seen him
around here in Tokyo with Mina." said Lita.
"Well you see it started back in England...." Mina stopped.
*Flashback*
London, England.
The alarm had alerted the police, but the teller that had pushed
the alarm was dead. About twenty people layed on the floor, waiting, hoping.
They knew that some of them might not make it out. One of them was already dead.
The police wouldn't be able to do much, yet a small hope filled them.
Everyone had heard about that mysterious girl in a sailor uniform,
calling her self Sailor V.
"Look it's Sailor V! She's going to save us." shouted someone. "Darn that Sailor V.
Alright boys, Let's knock that bitch down." shouted one of the eight robbers.
Only problem was that four of the robbers already were knocked down.
Sailor V did a perfect crecent kick on the fifth robber, knocking him out.
'Shit. I heard she was good but not that good' thought the leader of the robbers.
While she fought her way through the remaining robbers, dodging bullets.
A young man carefully crawled towards the leader. The leader being distracted
by Sailor V fight, didn't notice the young man. He grabbed a pot with flowers
and bashed it into the head of the leader, just as Sailor V finished of the last
robber. She smiled at him and winked before she leaped up through the skylights
and jumped away on the roofs.
The young mans name was Eric. Other thought he was strange since he
often dreamed of things that happened and easely fell into a trance.
The other shunned him, he never thought someone would care for him
but that would change. The clock rang at 7am the morning after
the bank robbery, he knew he'd dreamed about something important
but he couldn't recall it. He got up from the bed
and went into the bathroom. Taking a long shower he tried to recall it.
He thought about it when he brushed his teeth, when he ate his breakfast
and when he walked the short distance to the school. Looking at his clock,
he saw that it alread was 7:43am. 'Shit. I'm getting late' thought Eric and
started sprinting towards the school. "Watch out! Sorry! Move out!
Out of my Way! Sorry!" shouted someone.
Mina had fallen asleep after the clock went of. She was late.
'Why didn't Artemis try to wake me up' thought Mina. Artemis
had indeed tried to wake Mina up. He'd yeowled and he'd scratched,
but nothing did wake Mina up. Then he tried something else.
"Mina, there's someone here to see you. A Brad Pitt I think he said."
"What? Brad Pitt? Here? Tell him to wait a bit." shouted Mina back
and rushed to the bathroom. She came out ten minutes later.
"Where's Brad Pitt?" "He's not here. I couldn't think of something that'd
wake you up other than that." "Why I ought to...." Mina looked at the watch
she'd passed. It was 7:38. She'd 7 minutes 'till school started
and it was her first day at her new school. "Why didn't you wake me earlier?"
"Mina, I tried to but you didn't wake up." "You should have tried harder"
shouted Mina as she ran out of the house.
While running, Mina shouted : "Watch out! Sorry! Move out! Out of my way!
Sorry!" Mina turned her head to see if the man was alright as she
sprinted down the sidewalk. *Wamm* She ran straight into someone,
making the two of them fall. She landed right on top of the person.
Looking down into those deep gray eyes, she lost track of time. The time seemed
to have stopped. Then she regained conciusness quickly rolling of the poor
guy, pulling his hand to help him get up. Looking up at the beautiful girl,
he couldn't help but notice her resamblance to Sailor V. He accepted her
hand and was about to say something, when they heard a clock ring.
"I'm late" both said and looked surprised at the other. They both
looked strangely on the other and then resumed their running.
'Huh? Is she going to my school' though Eric as she took the same way as him.
'Huh? Is he going to my new school? thought Mina. When they reached the
school, both of them slowed down. "I'm Eric" said Eric. "Mina. Do you go to
this school?" "Yeah. You?" "First day today." said Mina with a smile.
"What's your first class then?" "Home Ec." "That's my first class to.
I'll show you the way if you want to." "Thank you. I was a bit worried
about finding my way." "I know the feeling," said Eric with a smile,
"So how come you look so much like Sailor V?" "I don't know. Must be in the
genes. Actually, I'm going to play Sailor V in a comming Sailor V movie,
but don't tell anyone that." 'Hmm I know him from somewhere. Now where have
I seen him?' "Wow. Playing Sailor V in a movie. And you're going to be in
my class." Mina smiled. 'Uh oh. He's the guy from yesterday. I knew I'd
seen him somewhere.'
*End Flashback*
"We got to know eachother over the years. He knew I was Sailor V since he'd
a premotion once when we were at the park. He knew that I had a crush on Alan.
He didn't like me battleing alone, so he sometimes followed to make sure I had at
some back up. I went to him after the explotion in that warehouse. He fixed me
up and then I left for Tokyo without saying goodbye. I don't know how he found me
here, but I'm happy that he did" said Mina looking lovingly at Eric.
Everyone turned to Eric silently asking for the answer.
Blushing, Eric cleared his throat and put his hand in his pocket. From the
pocket a small braclet with a charm slipped out. Mina gasped. "You still have
it?" asked Mina quietly. "I saved it since it was one of the few things
you'd left." Mina carefully picked it up. "This's like one of ours
communicators. It can send and reply different messages. I gave on to
Eric, so he'd know what was going on." "At first I was devastated, My Miko-chan
had left me. But then about a month later, I heard something I never
had heard before. The bracelet was beeping franticly in the middle of the
night. I picked it up and watched it. I heard Mina voice calling all the
senshis to the park in Juuban. I knew Juuban was in Tokyo, so I tried going
there. But my parents stopped me. It took a while to convince them,
but I got away from England and got here. Finally seeing Miko-Chan."
A single tear slipped from Minas eye. "I'm sorry I left you, I didn't
want to but it was for the best for you. I didn't want you to get killed."
sobbed Mina. Eric embraced Mina. "I would gladly give my life up,
instead of you giving yours up." The others took that as a que and moved out
from the living room, moving to Reis kitchen.
"Look there's no point in continuing this today. Everyone go home and
rest." ordered Serena. "Chuuko and....wait a minute. Aluminium Siren,
we can't call you that to." said Rei. "She's right. Is there something
special you want to be called Aluminium Siren?" asked Amy.
"I guess since Iron Mouse uses her disguise name as her real name,
I can do that to." "Umm..What's your disguise name then?" asked Amy.
"Ayasai Reiko. Just so we don't have any mistakes with 'Reiko' and 'Rei',
call me Iko." "Good Iko. You and Chuuko can stay here." said Rei.
"Thank you so much for your hospitality even though we don't deserve it"
said the two former anima mates. "What's done is done. It can't be changed.
Everything is in the past, you have to let go of it." said Serena with a smile.
"Good Night" called everyone as they went their separate ways.
'Again, I walk away alone. Why did Galaxia go after Ken. Why oh why?'
thought Lita as she walked to her apartment. Putting the key inside the
lock to her apartment, Lita sighed. She to wanted someone to be there for her,
to catch her when she fell. She made herself a cup of tea and curled up
infront of her tv. 'Nothing new or intressant.' thought Lita as she fell asleep
on the couch. Lita slept there, but it wasn't a peaceful sleep.
A darkness surronded her, trying to pull her apart. She couldn't breathe,
she couldn't see. Everything was black, a shrill beeping noise started echoing
through the darkness. Then something came for her. A man with a dagger walked up.
The darkness held her in one place as he made a slashing motion towards her
throat. She awoke statled to feel pain in her neck.
Hearing her communicator beeping on her nightstand, she walked towards her
bedroom. When she passed a mirror in the hallway, she stopped. What she saw
horrifide her. A thin dark red line had appeared on her throath,
dark red blood ran down her throat. The beeping was more intense now,
so she hurried to it. Picking it up she made sure that her throat couldn't
be seen. "Jupiter here" "Already" said Mina, "Anyway, we're having an
emergency meeting now. Eric had a premotion."
"I'll be there. Just need to change." Lita quickly put on her clothes
then leaped from her balcony up on the roof. Then she started jumping from
rooftop to rooftop. She was almost there when a voice was heard.
"Crow Enchanting Reflection".
Lita leaped out of the way, barely doging the attack.
She knew she couldn't transform, the only thing she could
do was to hope that the others would come and save her.
Quickly running, Lita did a jump kick. Lead Crow managed to dodge
and countered with a blow to Litas stomach. Getting hit full force
by Lead Crows fist made Lita drop to the ground. "Nyanko Dark Fire."
Dark waves of fire crashed into Lita making her scream out loud in pain.
"Nyanko? What are you doing here?" Lead crows tone demanded an answer.
"What do you think I'm doing? Starting a conga line?
I'm here for her start seed." Lead crow snorted, "As if, I'm getting her
star seed." "No you won't. I will" said Tin Nyanko with a snug smile.
Enraged with Tin Nyanko, Lead Crow attacked. "Crow Enchanting Reflection."
A mirror reflecting a dark crow with spread wings enveloped Tin Nyanko.
Nyanko just laughed and went out from the attack without a single scratch.
"Oh, Galaxia-sama must've given me a new power. Prepare to surrender!
Nyanko Dark Fire" at the same time someone shouted "Aluminium Neutrulize."
On a roof top next to theirs stood the Sailor Senshis, the crecent moon
shining brightly behind them. Only the silhouettes of them could be seen.
"Lita!" shouted everyone. Mercury jumped over to Lita's side to scan her.
"She's alive, but barely" shouted she to the others. "Good, more of you.
Now we can get rid of you all" said Lead Crow. "What we? I'll get rid of
them. Die!" Tin Nyanko attacked again. This time with physical attacks.
Lead Crow dodged a high spin kick and moved backwards to attack.
Seeing this the Senshis were going to interwene. But Aluminium Siren
stopped them. "That won't be necessary. My attack neutrulized their
powers, they won't be able to attack with their attacks for a while.
I suggest you let them fight for a while. They've been like that
ever since....Ever since we betrayed our world." Sailor Moon nodded,
"Okay, but if that won't work. We'll go in." The senshis watched
with horror as the two fought madly.
At first it seemed like it was going to be a normal fight,
but it weren't a normal fight. Both of them were determind to kill eachother,
having forgot the audience. The battle seemed to rage for hours,
but in reality it hadn't beem more than five minutes before
Sailor Moon turned to Aluminium Siren and Iron Mouse. "I'll end this now
wether or not you agree." The two nodded after a while. "Please don't
kill them" pleaded Aluminium Siren, "They were and are our sisters
after all." "I won't kill them if it's not necessary." Sailor Moon
turned towards the combatants. "Stop!" shouted she with a voice that
demanded to be obeyed. "Please sisters, Remember the good times"
pleaded Iron Mouse. "Good times? What Good times, there are no
good times" said Lead Crow. "Sailor Moon, Help them. Heal them to."
"We don't want your help. We don't need your help" said Tin Nyanko
while hitting Iron Mouse hard, sending her right into a door.
Aluminium Siren rushed to her sisters side and cradled her head in
her lap. "You may kill us if you want to, but know that all we
wanted for you was your freedom" said Aluminium Siren softly.
"Our freedom? We are free" claimed Lead Crow. "Do you really,"
said Aluminium Siren, "Look inside your self. You've destroyed
places for star seeds, taken innocents lifes and worst of all.
Betrayed your code of honur and your sisters." Iron Mouse
struggled to rise, "You really think you're free, but the only
reason you're alive is because of those bracelets. Bracelets that
only Sailor Galaxia can take off. You're just her puppets, slaves.
I never thought I'd see a once proud senshi acting like a slave
to another, Now I see my two sisters as slaves" said a clearly
disgusted Iron Mouse. That speach seemed to work it's way into
their heads, they slowly lowered their hands and moved towards them.
Then Lead Crow and Tin Nyanko heard a voice inside them. Whispering
that Iron Mouse and Aluminium Siren was dead, that the ones before
them just were simple illusions, that they served the true purpose.
Both of them stopped foots from the senshis and knights.
Simultaneos they attacked, "Crow Enchanting Reflection."
"Nyanko Dark Fire." Everyone leaped out of the way. Aluminium Siren
and Iron Mouse helped eachother, while Venus Knight carefully
lifted the now unconcious Lita.
"Get Lita out of here!" ordered Sailor Moon. Nodding,
Venus Knight started jumping away from the battle scene.
"Don't worry about that. We'll get them any way." said Tin Nyanko
with a snug smile. "Are you going to talk or take care of them?"
asked Lead Crow. Tin Nyanko didn't even bother to answer that,
instead she attacked. "Nyanko Dark Fire." Lead Crow was annoyed that
Tin Nyanko didn't answer, but decided that she could kill her later.
She to attacked the senshis that now had scattered. "Crow Enchanting Reflection."
The senshis and the remaining knights tried to find any gaps in the two
anima mates defence while dodging their attacks. Sailor Mercury was first,
seeing Tin Nyanko being distracted by Tuxed mask she powered up and launched
her attack. "Mercury Aqua Rapsody." Tin Nyanko didn't notice the attack
untill it impacted...... On her shield. "You think I'm that stupid?
I have a shield unlike my sisters. Pah. Letting your gaurd down never
is good, you can get killed." said Tin Nyanko as she kicked Sailor Mercury
right under her ribs. Mercury felt the air getting pressed out from her lungs.
Tin Nyanko then kicked her so Sailor Mercury laid on her back.
Nyanko placed her foot on Mercurys throath, efficently cutting of her
air supply. Mercury couldn't breathe, it felt like a 100 ton weight had
been placed on her chest. Tin Nyanko knew that someone could attack,
making her lose her focus. So she extened her shield,
creating a barrier that hindered the Senshis and knights to help their
friend and lover. Black and silver spots now danced before Sailor Mercurys eyes,
Her last concious thought was 'I failed you princess. I will be back.'
Venus knight had jumped about three blocks from the battle when Lita stirred.
She slowly opened her eyes and shook her head, being dizzy from the blows.
"Are you okay Lita?" Then she fainted again as he finished his question.
Venus knight shook his head as she fainted. 'Guess she wasn't okay.'
Then she spasmed, arching her back, clawing at something unseen at her throat.
He quickly put her down and checked her pulse. He searched her wrists,
he searched her throat and he put his hand over her heart, no beat.
