"I don't think you understand what I'm saying."
"I understand perfectly well; you're saying she's evil! What if your
wrong?"
"Usagi! I'm only saying that she's more than human!" Haruka yelled at the
young blonde. The room at the shrine was silent for a moment.
"Maybe, maybe she's like us. You know, a sailor scout!" Minako said trying
to break the tension.
"Well, we don't know anything as of yet. There haven't been any public
disterbances, we'll just have to wait," Michiru said as she brushed her
hair.
"True, so we'll wait until she does something or something else does
something," Rei said quietly as she looked at Usagi.
"I think she's our judge."
Everyone turned to see Hotaru and Chibi-Usa standing in the doorway. Hotaru
had her eyes half closed and was dressed in her usual black attire. Chibi-
Usa smiled pleasantly as she slid the door shut.
"What was that Hotaru?" Setsuna asked in an equally mysterious mannor.
"I think she is here to judge us as scouts. She is neither good nor evil.
She is the decider."
"Haruka, Michiru, what the heck do you let this kid watch?" Makoto said
with a look of horror on her face.
"Hotaru is just like this!" Michiru said in a defensive tone. As the scouts
started to fight, a shadow moved across the window. Only Rei saw it and
tried to tell the others, but they didn't hear her. Everyone stopped when
they heard the rice papper wall tear.
"Ohmigosh! What is that?" Usagi skrieked as they all turned to see a
monster standing in the doorway. The creature was part lion and part snake
with large black angel wings spreading from its back.
"There's obviously no way its gonna tell us, let's just fight it!" Minako
yelled pulling out her transforming pen. "VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!
"MARS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!"
"SATURN CRYSTAL POWER!"
"URANUS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"NEPTUNE CRYSTAL POWER!"
"PLUTO CRYSTAL POWER!"
"MOON CRISIS POWER!"
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!"
The scouts prepared to attack but before they could, the monster let out a
terrible roar that was like the winds of a hurricane. They were all knocked
backwards through the other rice paper wall.
"Grandpa is going to kill me, okay that's it! MARS FIREBIRD STRIKE!"
Her attack flew from her hands to the monster but its impact didn't effect
the monster.
"Great show Mars, now the place is on fire!" Venus yelled as the fire
bounced off the monster to the surrounding rice paper walls.
"I can't believe this, MERCURY ICE BUBBLES FREEZE!"
"Good thinking, let's take this monster down! JUPITER THUNDERCLASH ZAP!"
Again the attack flew true but had no effect on the monster and again
bounced off the monster rekindling the fires.
"OH MY GOD YOU PEOPLE ARE PYROMANIACS! MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!"
"DEEP SUBMERGE!"
"WORLD SHAKING!"
"DEAD SCREAM!"
The three attacks crashed down on the monster but left no marks.
"You know, this is REALLY annoying!" Venus scowled, "VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY
SHOCK!"
This time the monster was annoyed and knocked the attack back towards the
scouts who managed to dodge it just in time. As the monster turned on
Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon, a shadow came from behind it.
"Hello scouts, long time no fight. You wouldn't remember though, you were
only about two feet tall the last time," the shadow said as it stepped into
the light. The light reveled a tall woman dressed in a long black robe with
long silver hair and deep red eyes. The woman's skin was pale and her nails
long and sharp. She smiled evily as the monster roared again.
"Who are you?" Venus yelled rushing infront of Sailor Moon her whip taunt
and ready to fly.
"Ah, Princess Venus, always there to protect the Princess, of course. I am
Majohoshi of the Dark Star."
Saturn was next to join Venus infront of Sailor Moon her silence glave was
brandished infront of her, "The Space Witch, I thought I imprisoned you
long ago."
"Well a thousand year old seal breaks easily with a medium, Saturn."
By this time all the scouts had assembled around their princess and were
all ready to attack. The witch knew this and cackled. "One by one I'll
destroy you, if my magical beast here doesn't do the trick. But I think
it'll sufice, since you have yet to stratch it." And with that, she left in
a swirl of smoke.
"Everyone back up," Sailor Moon said pulling out her staff. She closed her
eyes and prepared to attack. "MOON GORGOUS MEDITATION!"
The white light of the attack surrounded the monster and the scouts began
to cheer. That was until the monster reappeared and roared.
"ARGH IT CAN'T DIE!" Jupiter yelled.
"My you can certainly feel the angst in this room," a voice said from
behind the scouts. They turned to see a masked figure dressed in a scout
like uniform, the only differences were where the scouts had white on their
outfits and gloves this person had black. Her mask, knee high boots and
skirt were all a shade of light aqua that glimmered a little when she
moved. Her hair was tied into a single ankle length ponytail and was a
beautiful shade of auburn. The masked scout smiled and held her hand
forward as a staff materialized in it. The staffed turned out to be a full-
length sycthe with a glissing silver blade. "I guess I'm too early, you
don't seem very powerful or ready."
"What are you talking about?" Uranus said, as she stood ready to attack.
The monster roared and the scout smirked.
"Nevermind me, there's a monster that needs to be dealt with. Don't worry
I'm not here to kill your precious princess," the scout sighed and twirled
the scythe about. Then gripping it with both hands she raced toward the
creature. "CELESTIAL JUDGEMENT!" she yelled as she swung the scythe across
the creature. It dissappeared in a shower of sparks as the scout crouched
behind it in a poise that was a show of her control of balance and perhaps
a defience of gravity.
"What the heck? HOW'D SHE DO THAT?"
"You could have too, Uranus, you're strong and fast enough."
Uranus felt her face flush as the masked woman spoke. She had never been
publicly embaressed in her life. Neptune stood by her though.
"Just who do you think you are walking in to our battle like this?"
The scout raised an eyebrow. "You know me, I know you, I've known you but
you haven't know me. In the end I will remain, but you will not last too
long when the judgement comes if you don't shape up."
"You're dancing around her question! You're calling yourself a judge but
you're more like a jester with that song there!" Mercury yelled.
"Indeed I am, but you are not ready for this fight. I would talk to the
cats, they should better equip you." And with that, the scout twirled her
scythe and dissappeared into the night.
"I can't understand it, we couldn't do anything!" Chibi-usa exclaimed as Luna rummaged around in the control room. "It's really sad, you know? We never seem to be ready after the time of peace," Hotaru sighed. "It's because we like the silence," Minako scowled. "Ah, okay, I've got something here," Artemis said looking up from the computer. The scouts rushed over as he started to explain. "This is the only thing I found, but it's an ancient writing. It says that the stars will judge the moon and the planets' fates lie in the moon's hands. It says here that your great-great-great-grandmother was tested, obviously she passed." "The stars.so is that scout Sailor Star or something?" "I doubt it, the stars have their own kingdoms and scouts, there is not a single entity," Luna stated as she returned lugging a good sized oak box. "What's that Luna?" Setsuna asked picking it up and opening it. "Those are new transforming stones, just switch them with the current crystal in your pen. Let's see, Setsuna you have a garnet, Rei a ruby, Michiru the aquamarine, Minako the topaz, Makoto the emerald, Ami the sapphire, Hotaru the amathyst, and Haruka the cat's eye. Unfortunatly for you, Usagi and Chibi-usa, there's nothing I can offer, the Silver imperium crystals must evolve on their own." "We understand," Usagi sighed, "Oh by the way, I'm going to Mamoru's today, I want to talk to his sister." "Good idea, I want to know just what she is," Luna said, "I'm coming with you."
Usagi rang the doorbell to Mamoru's house and Luna sat on her head. The door opened and Mamoru stood there smiling. "Hi Buns, and you too Luna," then in a hushed tone, "she's not going to talk is she?" "No, not at all, is your sister home?" "Oh, you wanted to see Koyami? Not me?" "Well I wanted to get to know her better, I mean what if we get married? I should know my sister-in-law like she's my sister!" "What's this I hear about sisters-in-law?" Mamoru turned so that Usagi could see Koyami and vice versa. "Koyami, you've met Usagi." "Yes, but shouldn't you let her in?" Mamoru sweatdroped under his sister's raised eyebrow look. She turned from him and smiled at Usagi. "Come in Sereni-Usagi." "What did you almost say?" Usagi said with a disturbed glance toward Darien. "Serenia, I had friend in Paris by that name. Looked a lot like you she did." Koyami said pulling her hair back into a ponytail. "You almost said Serenity, didn't you?" Luna said. The room got very quiet and Koyami turned back around to face Usagi and Luna. "Yes, I did, Luna. What's it to you?" "Who are you?" Luna said, now standing up on Usagi's head. "I am the judge from the Stars, I have no name but that."
"I can't understand it, we couldn't do anything!" Chibi-usa exclaimed as Luna rummaged around in the control room. "It's really sad, you know? We never seem to be ready after the time of peace," Hotaru sighed. "It's because we like the silence," Minako scowled. "Ah, okay, I've got something here," Artemis said looking up from the computer.
