Chapter 12: The Senshi Meet the System Lords
"Today?!" Usagi paused over her breakfast, her eyes wide. Amy, Minako, Makoto, Seiya, Yaten, Taiki Luna and Artemis were in the dining hall eating breakfast when Daniel came to tell them about the visit of the System Lords.
"They should be arriving around noon," Daniel said, sitting down next to Makoto with his coffee. They stared at him in silence.
"Princess Kakyu should be arriving around the same time,' Yaten said around a mouthful of cereal.
"Morning!" Hotaru skipped in, looking cheerful. "You all look like you've eaten some of Usagi's cookies," she said, looking around at them.
"The System Lords are coming today," Makoto said slowly.
"Great!" Hotaru said flopping down after snatching an apple. They all gave her odd looks. She looked back at them, undaunted. "So, I'm guessing those three are still asleep," Hotaru looked around, raising her eyebrow.
"No, I'm up," Setsuna said, sitting down next to Daniel holding a large mug of green tea. Teal'c, Sam, and Jack joined them shortly. Makoto moved to make room for Teal'c next to her, Sam sat next to Amy and the two quickly started a discussion on wormhole physics. Jack found himself between Usagi and Minako.
"Sorry we're up late," Michiru said, coming in, followed by Haruka.
"So, Ba'al and Cronus are coming today. They are going to arrive around noon," Daniel said to the assembled group after he got their attention.
"This should be exciting," Haruka muttered, looking tired. Michiru silently placed a cup of coffee in her hands.
"Don't worry, she is not a morning person and is brain dead until the coffee takes effect," Hotaru said quietly to Daniel, smiling.
The sailor senshi and SG-1, with the exception of Teal'c, stood before the gate with General Hammond and other staff of the SGC. All the military personal wore their dress uniforms, Daniel wore a suit. The sailor senshi had chosen their senshi forms but the outer senshi did not carry their weapons. Princess Kakyu was there as well with the three Starlights in their uniforms.
Out of the shimmering pool of the gate, Cronus arrived. He stood there for a minute after the gate disconnected, looking around.
"Welcome to the SGC," General Hammond went up to greet him. Cronus slightly nodded in acknowledgment. "I am sure you have already met SG-1 but if I may present the sailor senshi," Hammond said. Cronus nodded with a small smile. Sailor Moon came forward.
"I am Sailor Moon, leader of the sailor senshi, planetary warriors that protect this solar system," she said formally. "These are the senshi of the inner solar system- Sailors Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury," she indicated them. "And of the outer solar system- Sailors Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn."
"I am Princess Kakyu of Kimoku. These are the Starlights, Star Fighter, Healer and Maker, "Kakyu faced Cronus, looking him square the eyes.
Cronus looked at each one, measuring them. The inners and the starlights looked uncomfortable under his gaze but the each outer senshi and Princess Kakyu met his eyes without fear. He found them very interesting.
The other System Lord, Ba'al, arrived and the introductions were repeated each time. After they had been shown their quarters, the senshi untransformed, heading to their rooms for a nap before they met with the System Lords later that afternoon.
"Creepy," Minako shuddered. "They looked at us like cattle," she looked disgusted.
"Minako, that may be but they are different from us," Hotaru pointed out. "We simply learn to deal with it." The inners stared at her. Luna smiled to herself as she and Artemis followed them down the hall.

Cronus and Ba'al sat looking at each other in silence, each measuring the other. Rarely did any of the System Lords gather in one place for the same purpose.
"You believe they will aid us?" Ba'al asked, breaking the silence.
"Perhaps," Cronus said thoughtfully.
"We should be careful of the sailor senshi, especially Pluto, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune as well as the ones from Kimoku," Ba'al warned seriously. The other nodded in agreement.
"Perhaps we should inquire into the nature of their specific powers," Cronus suggested with a small smile. "And thus determine the value of this treaty."
