A/N: Thanks for reviewing minna! This chapter is dedicated to a person who continuously pestered me about updating and sits right next to me in AP CompSci! XP J/M! Hehe, anyway, it's extra LONG 'cause that's the way she likes it. Enjoy!
Broken Peace:
"So what do you make of this?" Haruka asked the gathered group. Usagi sat on the steps next to Ami while Makoto leaned on the wall behind them. Minako stood on the other side of Usagi, while Rei swept nearby. Michiru stood next to Haruka as Hotaru hid behind the two of them.
"New enemies? New allies?" Michiru continued.
"No idea," murmured Artemis as Luna nodded in agreement.
"You know, Sailor Dawning Moon could be an enemy," Ami brought up, "Zoicite played as Sailor Moon to get at Mamoru, remember?"
"Could be," Makoto nodded, her arms crossed.
"I hope not," Usagi said as she pouted her face.
"What did the fire say?" Ami asked Rei curiously. Rei paused her sweeping, and looked at the gathering stars thoughtfully.
Rei sighed, "I didn't want to worry you, but I've been having the same vision for the past few days."
"What did it show?" Haruka inquired sternly.
Rei let out a sigh again, as she sat down on the steps in front of Ami. Usagi quickly grasped Rei's hands encouragingly.
"I think it showed me our new enemy, but we also have an ally."
"Any details?" Michiru asked worriedly.
"I wonder why Setsuna didn't tell us," Hotaru whispered quietly as she squeezed Michiru's hand.
"Good news or bad?" Rei smiled mischievously.
Mina responded enthusiastically, "Good!"
"Our new ally wears a black and pink fuku. I think she may hold a connection to Usagi."
"And the bad?" Ami pushed.
"I know our enemy's got blue eyes."
"Blue eyes," Usagi repeated quietly. The new students?
"I think she's also from Hell," Rei said uncertainly.
"Hell?!" the others shouted in disbelief.
"How could someone dead attack us?" Haruka frowned.
"Why would they?"
"Not to worry!" Mina shouted over them all. She winked at Usagi who started to look depressed, "Whatever danger it maybe, we'll always protect you and this star!"
"Yeah, leave it to us!" Makoto added, punching her other palm reassuringly.
Usagi smiled and nodded, she knew better now. "I know. But promise you won't put yourselves into danger!"
"Baka, Odango-atama!" Rei sneered at her. "We're handling a new enemy and you tell us not to put ourselves in danger!"
Usagi pouted and opened her mouth to rebuke when Ami interrupted.
"A connection to Usagi," Ami frowned in thought. "How so? Could the new ally be from the future or from another part of the galaxy?"
Everyone grew silent, waiting for Rei's reply. "Usagi was in her princess form."
"Maybe the Silver Millennium?" Hotaru suggested. Everyone gave her a puzzled look. "Well," she blushed, "Chibi-Usa-chan's the princess in the future, so why would Usagi-sempai still be wearing her old princess dress? So it could be the past or present."
"Oh!" Minako shouted. "I remembered something! It was during lunch. I think I remembered a bit of the Silver Millennium."
"How?"
"I don't know, but I know Jeff and Angela are connected to it," Minako explained.
"So could the new enemy be Yukishiro?" Makoto wondered.
"She did have blue eyes," Ami supplied.
"She could be it," Rei murmured.
"We shouldn't be jumping to conclusions," Mina rebutted.
"I think it best if we all keep an eye on the new students," Haruka ordered, to which all nodded.
"I'm pretty sure it's Yukishiro that's playing as the fake Senshi," Makoto muttered as she got up to leave.
"But why would she help us then?" Usagi whispered worriedly, walking slowly in the center of all of her friends. "Somehow, I think we're all wrong."
"Exactly," Ami piped up, "Yukishiro looked sick. She couldn't have been so energetic immediately after school."
"Maybe she had a sugar rush like little Miss Piggy," Rei teased as she stopped by the stairs.
"I am NOT a pig!" Usagi pouted.
"You know, Dawning Moon's behavior reminded me of Angela," Minako added.
"But the blue eyes!" Makoto reminded heatedly.
"Well, there's always colored contacts," Ami reminded.
"So maybe we're guessing wrong?" Michiru questioned at the foot of the stairs.
"Could be, but we do know the new students have to have something to do with it," Haruka said sternly to the crowd standing in the beam of the streetlight.
With a nod and a few words, they said their good byes, not noticing the independent shadows that lurked nearby.

"They're on to us," a shadowy man reported to another sitting before him on a park bench.
"It matters not," a weak voice responded. The speaker wore a sailor school uniform. She brushed her long bangs behind her ear to reveal lively blue eyes that contrasted the pallor complexion of her centuries old body. "Let them think what they want. I have a mission to complete."
"They might interfere," the man responded.
"Then we must insure they do not," she said coldly as she walked away. The man bowed and disappeared.
"Princess Usagi, I warn you. It is in your best interests to let such matters pass," in her hands, a crystal, which was once black, was crushed as a white light escaped.

"In compensation for the generosity of the Moon Kingdom," Usagi heard her mother say, "it would be preferable if you lent your services to aid in the protection of my daughter, Princess Serena."
Usagi peeked into the great majestic hall where many political and social events were held. She peered down its length, not minding the intricate white pillars down both sides of the room and the light that danced in the air. At the far end in the center, her mother sat on her throne regally, her scepter in hand. Before her was a small little black shadow.
"Serena, dear," her mother's voice surprised her, "come here."
"Yes mother," she replied as walked quickly to her mother. As she neared, the shadow became a great length of slightly unkempt hair that fell around a small body. With great curiosity, she stared at the girl who stood politely before her mother with her hands clasped together to her chest and her head low, her long bangs hiding her face.
"You, child of Dawn, Goddess Eos, will be a Sailor Senshi, Sailor Dawning-Moon," Serenity continued. Usagi pursed her lips in jealousy.
"Utter your henshin, 'New Moon Power, Make-Up' clearly," Serenity instructed.
"N-New," the girl said nervously, before clearing her throat, "New Moon Power, Make-Up."
Light pink light surrounded her and replaced her plain gown with a sailor fuku, equipped with elegant gloves of course, of powder pink bows and a light blue skirt, neckerchief, and boots. Her hair parted into two pigtails tied by pink bows. Obviously surprised, she twisted and turned to look at herself.
"This is sufficient," smiled Serenity approvingly as the new Sailor Senshi returned to her rags, "meet your eternal princess, Aurora."
'Aurora' went down on one knee and held Usagi's hand, to her great surprise. "I, Aurora Kasinori, forever swear my allegiance to you and your peace of mind," she said with a genuine smile filled with hope and bright sky blue eyes…
