"Who are you?" Sailor Star Maker looked around for the source of the voice.

"I am . . ." Suddenly a woman materialized out of thin air. "Nanashi."

"You have no name?" Eternal Sailor Moon looked at the woman.

"Correct, I am a nameless person, therefore, my name is Nanashi." The woman had long brown hair that was pulled into a large odango at the top of her head. She was wearing a long red, flowing dress that was ragged at the bottom. Her eyes were very piercing, an evil shade of brown that shifted to green and then blue, at will.

"What do you want, to be hurting all of these Sailor Senshi?" Eternal Sailor Moon looked up at Nanshi with tears in her eyes.

"I didn't want to hurt any of you, that was your own choice. I sent my servant, Surya, to go and collect the child." Nanashi motioned for Hoshi. "It was he that hurt you all, not me. I instructed him not to hurt any one of you," Nanashi sighed. "But I guess he had his own plans for certain Sailor Senshi."

"What right have you to invade my planet and hurt my Princess?" Sailor Scythe yelled, having to be restrained by Sailor Pluto.

"Well, I should think it would be as plain as . . ." Nanashi laughed. "The jewel around you neck!"

Sailor Scythe looked down at the Mother Emerald, and saw it's light had gone to a cold shine.

"What do you want with the Mother Emerald?" Sailor Star Healer scowled.

"I don't intend to tell you what I want it for," Nanshi smiled. "That would defeat my purpose, I suppose." She slowly floated to the ground.

"I suppose if you won't give me the Emerald, then I'll have to take it from you, the hard way!" Nanashi gathered a large red ball of energy in preparation to throw it at the Sailor Senshi.

"Protect the Princess!" Sailor Mercury ran in front of Eternal Sailor Moon. Sailor Saturn tried to run in front of Eternal Sailor Moon to protect her, but she didn't make it. Instead, Sailor Mercury was hit hard with the blast of energy.

"Mercury!" Sailor Star Maker ran to aid Sailor Mercury.

"Pathetic . . ." Nanashi laughed.

"That is it!" Sailor Star Fighter looked around at Sailor Mercury and Sailor Uranus. "We've had enough of you, and we'll end this now!" Sailor Star Fighter raised his 'star yell'.

Nanashi laughed. "You think your pathetic powers can stop me? I've been waiting years for this!"

"Star Serious Laser!"

Nanashi stepped into Sailor Star Fighter's attack. The Senshi looked up, shocked. Nanashi laughed and she held his attack and was about to throw it back, but suddenly a rose flew through the air. This caused her to drop the energy. "Nani?"

"Nani?" Was the total response of the Sailor Senshi.

"As protector of Earth, and of the Moon, I, Tuxedo Kamen, am here!"

"Tuxedo Kamen, what are you doing here?" Sailor Star Fighter scowled at him.

"I should ask you the same thing!" Sailor Venus was fuming.

Tuxedo Kamen ran over to the group of Senshi. "I know this is a little hasty, but I'm here to say gomenasai. I want to help protect the Earth as well."

"You know you aren't welcome here anymore." Sailor Mercury scowled at Tuxedo Kamen.

"Just let me protect my planet, please?" Tuxedo Kamen turned to Eternal Sailor Moon. "Uskao? Please, just let me help?"

Eternal Sailor Moon looked around at her fellow Senshi. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt, but know that we still think of you the same as we did before this." Eternal Sailor Moon unconsciously held Sailor Star Fighter's hand for a moment and then released it.

"Arigato, Minna." Tuxedo Kamen turned to Nanashi. "You'll never beat us!"

"I highly doubt that statement," Nanashi laughed. She brought her hands forward in a sweeping motion and grey energy started collecting in her hands. She threw them at the Senshi and they became dark clouds. They started moving towards the Senshi.

"Star Serious Laser!" Sailor Star Fighter's attack caused three of the shadows to disappear, but a few more appeared.

Nanashi laughed and threw a ball of yellow light towards Sailor Uranus.

"No!" Sailor Moon turned to see Sailor Uranus enveloped in the light, and then she disappeared.

"We must continue to fight!" Tuxedo Kamen threw roses at a few shadows that came on his left side.

"Star Gentle Uterus!" Sailor Star Maker sent out an attack that killed seven of the shadows, but they seemed to just come back.

Sailor Mercury, even though she was wounded, kept fighting alongside Sailor Star Maker.

"We're not going to hold out very long if they just keep regenerating!" Sailor Star Healer sent an attack at a few more of the shadows.

"We'll just have to go to the source!" Sailor Mercury yelled.

One of the shadows was getting dangerously close to Sailor Saturn, but Sailor Pluto reflected them quickly. They exchanged words of thanks, but continued of fighting.

Sailor Scythe was trying her best to hold the shadows off, but she really didn't have any sort of an attack except her transport power and her mass destruction power.

Eternal Sailor Moon juggled Hoshi in her arms and pulled out her tier.

"Hoshi, can you help me with this?" Eternal Sailor Moon looked down at the small child who nodded and touched Sailor Moon's tier with her hand and then got down out of her arms and grabbed onto her leg.

"Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!" Eternal Sailor Moon made all of the shadows around the Senshi disappear.

"Finally, a break!" Sailor Star Healer brushed a few stray hairs out of her face.

"Ah, my lovely Senshi!" Nanashi laughed. "You've done well so far, so I've decided to give you a break and a chance to hand over the Mother Emerald and the girl, and I'll promise to leave your Senshi alone for the rest of time."

"How would that help us?" Sailor Venus spat the words out. "You've already gotten most of us, and you just took Uranus away! Why should we trust you?"

"Your poor little Senshi was in pain, I just let her rest from it." Nanashi smiled.

"Why is Hoshi and the Emerald so important for you, anyway?" Sailor Saturn scowled.

"Why, my darling, I should think you would have figured it out by now. You all seemed to bright, especially little blue girl over there." Nanashi motioned towards Sailor Mercury.

"I still don't know why you want my Princess's rightful property!" Sailor Scythe gripped her staff until her knuckles turned white.

"It's sad . . .you don't even know the worth of the Emerald that you possess." She sighed. "I should think it was obvious. The Mother Emerald has the power to create Senshi, am I right?" Nanashi's eyes narrowed. "I want to become a Senshi, like I was supposed to."

"Didn't your planet get a Senshi?" Sailor Venus looked up at Nanashi.

"No, it was supposed to . . .I petitioned for it. My poor Saxo . . ." Nanashi's voice grew soft.

"Saxo?" Sailor Scythe looked up at Nanashi. "That is just an asteroid that has started to orbit around an empty star! You don't deserve a Sailor Senshi, that's why you never got one!"

"You don't know what you're talking about!" Nanashi sent a large red ball of energy towards Sailor Scythe. Sailor Scythe easy moved out of the way of the energy.

"You don't know!" Tears streamed down Nanashi's face. "When Galaxia came, we had no hope, my entire family perished! Now I demand to have a Sailor Senshi to protect my people!" Nanashi's eyes glimmered with hatred. "And I'll get it any way that I can!" She suddenly sent another large ball of energy towards Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn.

"Saturn, Pluto!" Sailor Moon watched as they were hit by the energy and frozen in time, and then they left, just like everyone else.

"Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!" Eternal Sailor Moon tried to wipe the tears from her eyes as she tried in vain to hit Nanashi.

"You're no match for me, Moon Princess!" Nanashi laughed another evil laugh.

Sailor Star Healer and Sailor Star Maker started exchanging attacks with Nanashi so the other Senshi could come up with a plan.

"There's not anyway that we can fight her with our normal attacks, you saw how she grabbed Fighter's attack, right?" Tuxedo Kamen looked around him. "If there's only a way that we can get her by non traditional means . . ."

"Like hand to hand combat?" Sailor Mercury piped up.

"That might work." Tuxedo Kamen looked thoughtfully at Nanashi. "If I had a sword, maybe I could get her!"

"Doesn't Prince Endymion have a sword?" Sailor Venus looked at Nanashi.

"He does," Sailor Mercury nodded. "Can you turn into him to get Nanashi?"

"We'll need a distraction." Tuxedo Kamen looked at Sailor Star Fighter. "Are you up to the challenge, Fighter?"

"Hai, I'm no chicken." Sailor Star Fighter looked at Eternal Sailor Moon.

"Okay, you can go to the left, and I'll go to the right." Tuxedo Kamen focused his energy and turned into Prince Endymion.

"Be careful, Fighter." Eternal Sailor Moon looked into the eyes of her beloved.

"I will, Odango, I'll come back to you." Sailor Star Fighter smiled.

"Let's go now, to give Star Healer and Star Maker a rest." Prince Endymion nodded to Sailor Star Fighter.

Sailor Star Fighter ran to the left and Prince Endymion ran to the right, sword drawn.

"Star Serious Laser!" Sailor Star Fighter made Nanashi's attention to be turned towards her.

Prince Endymion ran behind Nanashi and hit her arm with his sword. She let out a scream and turned to Prince Endymion and started grappling with him. Sailor Star Fighter ran over to help, but once she got there, Nanashi grabbed her.

"Fighter!" Eternal Sailor Moon had to be restrained by Sailor Venus.

"We need you to stay safe!" Sailor Venus held her grip firm.

Prince Endymion turned around to face the Senshi.

"Endymion, do something!" Eternal Sailor Moon yelled.

"Oh, I will, don't worry!" And evil look went across his face. He walked up to Sailor Star Fighter, and slapped her across the face.

"What are you doing?" Sailor Star Healer's eyes were opened wide.
