Chapter 2: Revelations
What?! Who captured them? Rei asked.

Who are they? And who is this? Seiya asked.

Oops, I'm sorry. This is my friend, Hotaru Tomoe. And the people she mentioned are her adoptive family, Rei explained. Seiya looked at Hotaru. Something about this little girl...naah, too young. Or was she? That wasn't the issue at hand...



What? Who said that? asked the orphan boy.

I did, silly. Now you should stay here, it'll be too dangerous for you, Rei said.

Seiya asked.

Rei couldn't think of a reason without revealing that she was Sailor Mars.

Because Rei is a magical psychic and you aren't. That's why she's better suited to it, supplied Hotaru.

Yes. Now you stay here at the temple with Grandpa. You'll be much more useful doing the chores. Hotaru's going to come with me, Rei decided.

Wait! But I'm a Sailor Senshi! Seiya shouted. Rei and Hotaru stopped, completely stunned.

A...Sailor Senshi?! What do you mean? Rei challenged, thinking it was something he had heard about on TV.

Yeah, and I'll prove it to you. Fighter Star Power, Make Up! Rei and Hotaru watched, amazed, as the boy turned into a female warrior, wearing an outfit that made her look oddly like a dominatrix.

That aura...it is magic. Okay, fair is fair. I don't know WHERE you got those powers from, but Hotaru and I have similar ones. Rei said. She and Hotaru looked at each other.

Mars Crystal Power, Make Up!

Saturn Crystal Power, Make Up!

Yaten felt it, finishing his supper in Makoto's apartment. Taiki did too, reading a book while Usagi and Shingo played video games. Seiya had transformed. Which meant they had to as well.

Wait, Yaten! Where are you going!? Makoto exclaimed.

I need to go save my friend. Don't worry, I'm a Sailor Senshi, he said.

Makoto was just as shocked as Rei had been.

You're a Senshi?! No way! Usagi shrieked.

What's that? Shingo asked, annoyed that Taiki had interrupted their game.

Healer Star Power, Make Up!

Maker Star Power, Make Up! Much to the astonishment, two more boys turned into girls in dominatrix-ish uniforms, in two different places. At the Tsukino house, the phone rang.

Usagi, it's for you...who's that?! exclaimed Ikuko coming into the room. As Usagi took the phone into the other room, she could hear her mother storm up to the strange Sailor Senshi.

Get out of my house, you weird S&M girl! she shouted.

But I'm Taiki, the Senshi said.

Stop fooling around, Taiki's a boy. Now get out...no, don't look, Shingo, she's wearing a very, um, adult outfit, Ikuko said. Usagi gasped as she heard a crash and then a door slam.

Rei, what's wrong? Usagi asked, trying to focus on the phone call.

It's Haruka, Setsuna, and Michiru. They've been captured by someone. Hotaru's here, too, and the orphan boy just turned into a girl Sailor Senshi, Rei said.

I...I think the same thing's happened here. So should I come over to the temple? Usagi asked.

Of course you should, Usagi idiot! Rei shouted, then hung up on her. No time to cry that Rei's being mean again. Usagi knew what she had to do.

Moon Eternal, Make Up! Feathers and lights floated around her as she became Sailor Moon, then she ran out to the door.

Sailor Moon?! What are you doing here? There's a very naughty girl outside you can punish, Ikuko said.

Can I have your autograph? Shingo asked.

No, no, Shingo, Sailor Moon probably has more important business than signing autographs, Ikuko scolded him gently. They both were shocked into silence as Sailor Chibi Moon ran past, screaming Wait for me, Sailor Moon!

So you're a Senshi, too, Taiki? I don't know what's going on, but we should go to Rei's temple, Sailor Moon said. Ikuko had shoved Senshi-Taiki outside, which is where Sailor Moon found her.

What's Rei's temple? And when I'm a Sailor Senshi, you can call me Sailor Star Maker, the black-clad warrior said.

Rei is my friend, and she lives at a Shinto temple. She has some psychic powers. Why did you suddently transform? Sailor Moon asked.

I could...sense that Seiya had also transformed. Yaten, too, Star Maker said cryptically.

Who are they? Chibi Moon asked.

Them? Aren't those the other two orphan boys who came with you? Sailor Moon asked.

Yes, they are. We and our princess are Sailor Senshi, Star Maker said.

Their princess?! Chibi Moon shook her head. Let's just go to the temple and see what's going on, okay? she suggested wisely.

When the three of them arrived at the temple, Sailor Mars and Sailor Saturn were there, along with the Seiya-Senshi, Sailor Jupiter had another Sailor Senshi that looked like Yaten with her, and Sailor Mercury was with a Senshi who was wearing a strange, rather skimpy red outfit. Sailor Venus was there too, utterly confused and a bit angry that she wasn't told the others were living with strange new Sailor Senshi.

Okay, so the fourth new one is here now! What in the name of love is going on?! she screeched. The red-clad and redhaired new Senshi spoke up.

I am Sailor Kinmoku. These are my three guardians, Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Star Healer, and Sailor Star Maker, she explained.

Good, so we know names. Minako, what's going on is the kidnapping. Before we find out more about where these four have come from and why they're Senshi, we should go to Juuban High and rescue our friends, Sailor Mars said decisively.

How do you know where they are? Star Fighter asked.

I'm a psychic, remember?! YOU saw me do the divination! Sailor Mars snapped.

Meanwhile, at the Tsukino house, Shingo was suspicious. Mama, I swear! I saw Taiki transform into that weird girl! he begged.

Shingo, honey... Ikuko didn't know what to say.

Also, he's GOT to be her. He's nowhere in the house! And Usagi...she must be Sailor Moon! Shingo exclaimed.

Usagi is Sailor Moon?! Ikuko then remembered.

You might be right. Usagi left the room, and then Sailor Moon came out the same place Usagi was. Like Taiki, she's nowhere in the house. Come to think of it, neither is Chibi-Usa. Maybe she's that other Sailor Senshi who ran past too, the one wearing the pink outfit, she said.

Despite the confusion, the Sailor Senshi all got to the school in one piece. Outside of the school was a large, overturned truck, too.

Search the truck! They could be inside! exclaimed Sailor Jupiter.

No, my divination showed they were in the school. Let's go in there first; if we waste time, who knows what their captors could do to them, Sailor Mars pointed out. Sailor Moon opened the door, peeked in, and felt something warm and gooey splat her in the face. She stuck her head back outside.

Hey! They're armed already! she shrieked.

Armed with cherry pie! My favorite! exclaimed Sailor Jupiter, and she poked her head in the door. Just like her blond friend, she was also hit in the face with a pie, a blueberry one this time.

Okay, that's enough getting hit by pies! Mars Flame Sniper! shouted Sailor Mars, and she was hit by a burnt apple pie.

Why do you guys keep running away from them? Pies aren't going to hurt you, Sailor Kinmoku said, and she charged in, followed by the three black-leather clad Senshi. Soon the others followed, and all the Senshi made their way in, fighting off the onslaught of pastries. There didn't seem to be too much trouble, until Star Fighter was knocked down by something cold and hard. The Senshi heard a chain clank in the dark, and then the lights came on, almost too quickly and brightly. Four girls were now there. Harumi from earlier was holding a chain-whip with Star Fighter's blood on it, and Fuyumi was also there. There was also a girl with curly blond hair who was holding a stack of pies, and another with her black-and-white hair in braided pigtails.

So! Where are our friends? demanded Sailor Venus. Instead of answering the question, Harumi glared at Fuyumi.

You idiot! How could you let Sailor Saturn escape like that?! she shouted.

I'm sorry, I just couldn't stand to see her hurt, whimpered the redhead.

Awww, that's so sweet! Can you give us the other Senshi back, for Sailor Saturn's sake? pleaded Sailor Moon.

No! I want to make Sailor Neptune suffer! I hate her for being so perfect and elegant! shouted Fuyumi.

And how do you know this about her already? How do you know that you prefer Sailor Saturn and hate Sailor Neptune? asked Sailor Mercury wisely.

Easy. I've seen them on the TV show and read the manga. All four of us have, Fuyumi said matter-of-factly.

The Senshi were stunned.

Don't worry about that now! We should rescue the others! Sailor Mars interjected, breaking the silence.

Right. Let's just go get the captured Senshi and Sailor Teleport out of here, Chibi Moon decided, taking charge all of a sudden.

But what about Sailor Star Fighter? Sailor Kinmoku asked.

We can stay and protect her. You go get your friends, said Star Maker. The others ran off, leaving the four new Senshi behind. Setsuna, Haruka, and Michiru were hanging from the ceiling in the chains.

Small Lady! Setsuna exclaimed.

How exactly do we get them out of there? Sailor Venus asked.

I'll try something! Hiiiyaaah! shouted Sailor Saturn, and she swung her Glaive. It cut through some of the chains that were around Setsuna.

I get it! exclaimed Sailor Mars, and she began to soften the metal with a low-power version of Fire Soul. With the two raven-haired Senshi working together, the captives were soon freed. When all of them returned, they found...a disaster. Star Maker was wrestling with Fuyumi, Harumi was kissing Star Fighter while Natsumi was trying to pull them apart from each other, and Star Healer and Sailor Kinmoku were tied up in the chains together.

Let's just get out of here! You four! Please try to connect your Senshi auras with ours, if you are true Sailor Senshi, and let's all Sailor Teleport! Chibi Moon begged. Amazingly, all of the Senshi got out safely and back to the Hino shrine.
