"Usagi, did you HAVE to bring those donuts?!" came the annoyed voice of the dark haired shrine maiden. "I mean..come on..we're only going to be here a few minutes then go eat."

"I knooooow..." was the reply of Usagi, "but I'm hungry nooooow"

Makoto's laugh interrupted, "My gosh, Usagi..you're able to put more food away than four rugby players combined."

With that comment making the blonde ditz hungrier thinking about game food, all the senshi, including Mamoru-sa, rose and began their march to the malt shop place. On their march, they heard something of an argument between a young woman and a teenage boy closely resembling the bumbling idiot, Melvin (can't remember his real name gomen) something about "pervert hentai" or rather.

They entered the small shop and went to the overly large rounded booth table and took their seats. They sat in silence, all thinking the same thought.

::Who in God's name was that soldier last night?::

It was Mamoru who started the discussion with his soft, but masculine voice. "Well, girls..what happened when I showed up last night?"

None of the girls knew what to say. There was so much, but it was all muddled together in shock. Thoughts kept coming in to their minds, "A new senshi?" "Who was that guy that attacked the city?" "Was the other soldier just a trick?" No one could possibly know the answers to these silent, but common questions.

"Well..If you ask me," a familiar voice came from above them. It was Michuru. "I think we should wait for another attack to find out. In the meantime, don't some of you girls have school? It's only Friday, not Sunday."

At once, a sudden mass of girls left the empty shop realizing they were all late. And all were made to stand in the hall.

"I swear, Usagi..you and your malts.." was the only annoyed complaint from Minako. Afterward, all were silent and took their punishment.

After school, Usagi and company walked out, the late ones rubbing their arms, and looked around. "Where is Mamoru-saaaaaaaa?" Usagi asked herself. In the same moment, two long, manly arms wrapped around her neck in a hug "Usaaaaagiiii." Mamoru had appeared behind her and caught her in a cuddle smiling at her. The other senshi soon became sick and continued walking and soon joined by the two love birds. At a suggestion, all agreed to go to the pool on account that it WAS hot.

The next day, they all met at the pool. Mamoru clad in his swimtrunks, Usagi trying her best to be sexy though she's not in her two piece, Minako and Raye being sexy in theirs, and Makoto, Setsuna, and Ami in their one pieces. Haruka, Michuru, and Hotaru were unfortunately unable to join. They went about their usual activities, studying, horseplaying, looking sexy getting a tan.

Being hot as it was, and being in a pool, some of them soon became thirsty. Minako agreed to get some drinks, mainly so she could show off her brand new two piece to all the cute guys. As she stood to get on her way, she noted a girl with long, blue hair in a large white hat with a white brim laying out, though she thought nothing of it at the time. She went to the stand, ordered the requested drinks and began carrying the load back, during which, she heard a loud splash. On her way back, she looked to where the hat had been, but saw no hat. In its place was a broad shouldered, muscular blue haired bishie looking soaked as though by the splash. She shrugged it off, unaware that both occupants of the chair had been watching her unnoticed.

Well, the day at the pool ended, and everybody went home, blah blah.

The next few days were normal as they could be, the same agonizing questions as before on their minds constantly. One night, some of the questions were answered.

Several nights after pool day, Molly (once again, can't remember japanese name, gomen) and Usagi had gone shopping at the gigantic mall. As they walked, Usagi came to her house first and bid Molly goodnight going in. Molly nodded with a small and carried her bags of clothing and other girly- girly things down the street to her home.

She watched as the street lights and trees made shadows, and how the wind manipulated them as she walked. As she watched, however, a strange change came into place. Another human shaped shadow had appeared walking next to hers. She kept walking thinking it was her imagination, but soon realized it wasn't. She turned quickly to find a blonde haired man grinning evilly behind her as he held up his hand glowing yellow.

A scream was heard in the middle of the night. The senshi showed up, as expected to. Molly was found unconscious on the ground while the villain bowed.

"So, we meet again, sailor senshi. The last time I was rudely interrupted. I am called Gusto. You may be seeing very much of me, so I ask that you grow accustomed to calling me by name." Gusto then went on to attack them with what seemed like fireballs. After a minute or two, the fireballs seemed unaimed, and attacking Gusto himself. Soon, however, all realized at once where the extra explosions came from, and all turned their attention to the nearby tree beside the road in which they fought. The same unknown senshi from before had been throwing her cards. She smirked coldly and threw a card directly at Gusto and watched him disappear as it exploded.

The other senshi gaped as they watched her jump from her high limb and land lightly on the ground a few yards before them. Jupiter was the first to step up.

"Listen..Are you a friend of ours? Or are you an enemy? We need to know."

The unknown soldier just smirked at them and said coldly, "I am on no one's side. I am on my own side, you see." She then took one card out of her deck as the other senshi took several steps back, but stopped before throwing it as a white cat, glowing in the darkness, ran to her feet. "Tyrenas! You MUST stop this! Be allies with your fellow soldiers!"

The now named Sailor Tyrenas glared down at the cat making her silent, then glared at the other soldiers. "I suppose I'll be leaving you all now..I hope your friend wakes up allright.." she turned to walk away then stopped and looked at moon, "..Usagi.." she then ran and disappeared into the shadows with her cat.
