Hi again everyone! How are you all doing? Thanks for all your great reviews and keep sending them. I need the encouragement.

Disclaimer: Don't own it, don't want it.

Evening Star: Thanks for your suggestions. I agree with you on the comment about the leader and have changed the chapter. I'll read your story when I get the chance, it sounds interesting. I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'corny dialogue' but I'm afraid there is going to be a bit of (IMHO) funny interactions in this chapter. Hope you enjoy!

Pixi's Ghost: Don't worry the names are in this chapter. I'll check out your story when I can. Keep reviewing!

"We are the Universals. I'm Sailor Asteroid, that's Meteor," here she indicated the red-head, "The one in purple is Nebula and the blonde is Comet."

"More scouts?" Mercury inquired.

"How do we know we can trust you?" Luna asked suspiciously.

"Well, we know your earth identities and what you do and stuff." Meteor commented.

"Oh don't be stupid Mets, that hardly proves anything and I really don't think it's a comforting thought for them!" Asteroid reprimanded her.

Meteor bristled at this, "I was just trying to help." She said angrily.

"A sloth would be more help than you." Asteroid sneered.

"Well why don't you just go get one?"

"Not a bad idea!"

"Oh, you've got a nerve!"

The inners (and tuxie) were watching this display with a kind of morbid fascination.

"Remind you of anyone?" Jupiter murmured to Venus.

"Raye and Serena?" Venus giggled back.

The argument was now in full swing before them. There were more words and less tongue involved but overall it was just like Raye and Serena.

Luna and Artemis seemed to be frantically discussing something over to one side, pausing every now and then to glance at the feuding girls.

Nebula watched the fight for a few seconds and evidently decided it wasn't worthy of her time. She wandered off to a flowerbed, humming.

Comet was standing slightly to one side of the bickering girls, back against a tree, looking over the scouts and their guardians slowly and methodically. Finally she turned her gaze back to her comrades.

"Look who's talking tomboy!" Meteor spat.

"Irresponsible brat!" Asteroid retorted.

"At least I have a life..."

"ENOUGH."

The single word was spoken softly but with so much authority that the two girls immediately froze. All eyes turned to the slight figure of Sailor Comet who was glaring at her team-mates with disapproval.

What do you think you are doing? she sent telepathically.

The girls cringed slightly and looked at one another.

Acting like two year olds? Meteor supplied gingerly as Asteroid mentally kicked herself.

Comet just rolled her eyes in exasperation.

Get Nebula was all she said.

Meteor moved quickly to comply while Asteroid cursed herself colourfully for fighting in front of the princess.

"Please excuse them princess," Comet approached Sailor moon shyly, "We've been a little on edge lately. Now," she turned to Luna, "I believe you were asking for proof, would our transformation pens suffice?"

Luna considered a moment, Artemis stepping forward.

"They would be fine." He replied.

Comet smiled and produced a pen similar to the inners' ones. The other Universals, who had now joined them, did the same.

Mercury pulled out her computer and analysed them quickly. After pronouncing them genuine and handing them back she asked,

"So why are you here?"

"We believe there is a new enemy here, we felt that we should come and help out." Asteroid explained, taking command once again.

"Do you know who it is?" questioned Mars.

"Not as yet," Asteroid replied carefully, "We only sensed their presence here."

"So who exactly are you guys?" Tuxedo mask spoke for the first time.

"We just told you." Meteor said.

"He means who we are, not just our names." Asteroid interjected.

"Whatever." Replied Meteor, trying to avoid another fight.

"Well?" Tuxedo mask asked again.

"Well... Maybe we should detransform and find somewhere where we can talk freely." Meteor gave her first reasonable suggestion of the day.

"I was just about to suggest that." Artemis agreed.

"Sure." Luna eyed him playfully.

They all detransformed at once and the inners looked towards the four girls now dressed in street clothes, Mina shrieking in recognition.

"You're the guys I played yesterday!" she laughed.

"Yep," the detransformed Meteor agreed, "I'm Nicole, Comet is Miranda, Nebula is Faye and Asteroid is Janett."

"Pleased to meet you." Serena smiled.

"Why don't we go to my temple," Raye suggested, "We can talk there."

"Ok." They all agreed.

* * * * * * * *

Upon reaching the temple they took up positions in one of the rooms and the interrogations began.

"How old are you?" Serena asked.

"Janett is 17, Miranda is 13 and Faye and I are both 16." Nicole answered.

"And you have no relatives?" Lita questioned.

"No, we only just arrived here and we are renting a flat together." Janett smiled.

"How do you know us?" Raye said curiously.

"Well, we actually knew you in the silver millennium. Nicole was a high lady on one of Venus' moons and Faye was the princess of a small planet. Mir and I were a little less important, I was captain of the forces of several asteroids near Jupiter and Mir was one of princess Saturn's ladies-in-waiting," Janett summed up, "We keep in touch with Trista, so we heard all about you down here."

"Really?" Serena asked, wide eyed.

Janett smiled and nodded.

"What was that thing you did earlier?" Darien finally said.

"What thing?"

"When you all went quiet and stared at each other after your argument. There was this weird buzzing in the back of my head." He continued.

"Oh that!" Janett laughed, "Mir explains that better, don't you shrimp." She exclaimed turning to the blonde.

Miranda looked up and blushed lightly.

"We have a kind of telepathic link," she began slowly, "You were able to detect it because of your link with Serena. It's a sort of meshing of minds if you will, it allows us to communicate through thought, to share our emotions, to work together as a team." She finished quietly.

There was a moments silence.

"Told you she explains it better." Janett suddenly spoke up.

The room erupted into peals of laughter.

"So what are your hobbies? What do you like to do?" Mina asked spiritedly.

"I write poetry," Faye replied taking a sudden interest in the proceedings, "Songs too! And I like to cook."

Lita's eyes lit up but Nicole spoke before her.

"I like shopping!" She exclaimed starry-eyed, "And I like to act and play the flute!"

"You act?" Mina smiled broadly, "Cool! I model. You should come to my class."

"I wish _I_ could act." Serena whined, "I can't do anything interesting."

"Wrong meatball head!" Raye sneered, "Your klutz attacks are always interesting."

"Raye you're so mean!"

"What's the matter meatball head? You trip over the carpet again?"

"Don't call me meatball head!"

"Their as bad as Janett and Nicole." Faye remarked, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Worse!" Lita agreed laughingly, "So what do you do Janett?"

"Yeah, what?" Serena echoed, argument forgotten.

"Well I take karate and judo," she replied, "And I like all kinds of sports."

"I take karate too," Raye smiled, "Maybe we could train together sometime."

"Yeah, maybe." Janett shrugged.

"What about you Miranda? What do you like to do?" Amy asked.

"Read!" Came the reply from Janett, Faye and Nicole as Miranda blushed.

"That's all she ever does!" Nicole giggled.

"No, no," Janett shook a mocking finger, "Sometimes she eats or sleeps."

"And she's a master hacker!" Faye added.

"Faye..." Miranda warned.

"What do you mean?" asked Darien.

"She means that shrimp here is the greatest hacker to walk the face of the earth. She can bypass anything, create her own viruses, she can even access government security files." Janett said proudly.

"Janett, that's not entirely true," Miranda reprimanded softly, "And I only do it when I need to."

"When do you need to?" Asked Lita.

"It's mostly to find out about the enemy or to locate certain people." Miranda answered.

"You should join my computer class." Amy suggested.

"Maybe."

"There's one thing I don't get," Serena said, scratching her head, "What's a hacker?"

Everyone groaned.

Well that's it for another chapter. Hope you enjoyed it. The next chapter will be fairly short but I will try to make up for it later. I probably wont be updating as often anymore but keep checking back.

Ideas! I need ideas! Please R+R with your ideas and comments.

Thanks everyone!
