Five girls ran into a dark alley, unnoticed by the flood of people screaming and running down the street. Several bright lights emitted from that same alley and out came five girls in the uniform of the Sailor Scouts. With quick glances at each other, they took off towards the direction of the scream.
"Hmph! Where is that stupid girl?! Kyra said she would be here..." Kalie tossed the girl she held aside and snapped, "Dammit! None of these girls have the power!"
"How dare you come here attack innocent people! In the name of the moon I shall punish you!"
Glancing down the demon girl sneered, "Sailor Moon, I was wondering when you would come. Well, it looks like I'm going to have some fun now. DRAGON'S KISS!"
Sailor Moon stared at the attack, enraptured.
"Neptune deep submerge!" The two attacks met and countered each other off. Kalie stared and screamed,"NO! What are you doing here?!"
Smirking, Uranus looked up at her and replied, "We have been informed of the darkness that is coming." Screaming, a black cloud surrounded Kalie, but before she could vanish a silver rope lashed out and wrapped around her leg. "I don't think so, Kalie." Walking out of the shadows, was a beautiful black- haired woman, wrapped around her hand was the other end of the silver rope.
Jerking it, she brought Kalie crashing to the ground. Glaring up at her captor, Kalie snarled, "Long time no see, Angel. What brings you back here?"
Smiling, Angel bent down murmured, "You know very well what brings me here. So tell me... Have you found her yet?"
Kalie pressed her lips together and glared in response. Straightening, Angel laughed. "I thought not." With a flick of her wrist the rope twisted into her hands and Angel disappeared. As she disappeared, Kalie let out a short gasp.
The girls stared, then they looked at each other. Rei scowled and muttered, "What the hell was that all about?!" They turned towards the demon Kalie and instead found a pile of dust and ashes.
"What happened? Who killed her? Or... Did she leave?" Mina asked, cautiously stepping closer to the pile as though it might spring into life. Serena knelt by the pile and dug through it. "Uuuhhhhh... Serena, what are you doing?"
"Ah- ha!" Turning towards Mina, Serena help up a thin needle. "It's been poisoned. Typical of Angel." The other girls stared at her as though she had gone insane.
With an arched eyebrow, Michiru murmured, "You know that woman, Princess?"
Serena sweatdropped and murmured, "Well this is the funny thing... I kinda just knew to look for it... heheh... Funny isn't it? And speaking of Angel, I need to tell you guys something. We should go to the temple. Come on."
When they had left, a young man entered. Glancing around he sighed, "I should have known. That idiot demon couldn't handle her. Oh well! Life goes on." Then he vanished without a sound.
Serena and the others swiftly made their way up to Hikawa Temple, taking the same route as Arianna had on her way home. Passing an alleyway, Rei's turned to look inside with narrowed eyes. Peering closer she noticed the expanse of silver hair and gasped, "Arianna!"
"What?!" The other four girls cried. They ran into the alley to check and sure enough it was her.
Glancing at each other Michiru and Haruka asked, "Who?"
Looking up Serena replied, "Arianna is a new student at school. We were supposed to go to the arcade together. But... well... You know what happened." Placing her hand on Arianna's forehead she murmured, "She's burning with a fever. What happened to her? She was fine earlier..."
Ami swiftly looked the girl over and said, "We should get her to a doctor-" She was cut off when suddenly Arianna's back arched high and she screamed something out in another language. Ami's eyes widened and she cried, "You have to hold her still. Hurry! Before she hurts herself!"
Lita and Haruka swiftly struggled to pin the slender girl down. Arianna fought them with all her strength, but she was quickly subdued. She no longer struggled, but they heard her mutter and whimper as though in pain.
Everyone looked horrified and finally Mina asked, "What is she saying? What language is that?" They all strained to hear her. Ami shrugged and murmured that she didn't know that language. Leaning in, Haruka's eyes narrowed and she straigtened up and replied, "She's speaking Lunarian."
The others stared in shock. All of them thinking, "How can that be?" Then Rei stood up and said, "It's decided then. She's coming with us to Hikawa Temple." Most of them nodded in agreement, but Ami protested, "Rei, she's sick. She has to see a doctor!""We can't afford to do that, Ami. What if she's from the new group that just attacked? No she's going to have to come with us." Michiru murmured, ignoring Ami's glare. "Pick her up and lets go. You'll take of her, won't you, Ami?" Sighing, Ami nodded her assent.
Upon arriving at Hikawa Temple, with Arianna in tow, they all immediately noticed the tall, dark- skinned woman with gorgeous dark green hair. "Setsuna?!" Serena cried surprised. "What are you doing here?" Turning to face her Princess, Setsuna murmured, "Certain events in time have pressured me to come here."
Setsuna examined the others and noticed the silver haired girl. She didn't look suprised to her with them at all. In fact she said, "Good, you have her. Come on, let's go inside." The others exchanged glances and followed the Time Guardian inside.
When they stepped inside they all gasped, "It's you!"
And there sitting in the room, was the black- haired lady from earlier that day, drinking tea as if she lived there. Angel beamed up at them and set her cup down. "It's me," she replied quite calmly. She examined all the Scouts and her gaze settled on Serena. Her eyes twinkled and she murmured, "Well met, cousin. May I have my needle back now?"
