Hey hope whoever is reading this is enjoying it. Well this is the third chapter and as I said before there are only 10 and an epilogue. (maybe)
I want to say thank you to my first reviewer, for her constructive criticism. So thank you Setsuna Megami of Time Oh and about the names, I read the manga so I use it from there the only difference is I put Serena instead of Bunny. I hope you read this fic till it's done and I look forward to your, and everyone's thoughts. With that said on with the story!

Ch. 3: The New Enemy
Somewhere deep in the Negaverse:
A man stood in the middle of Beryl's old throne room looking into a glass orb. He wore a long black robe and had long light silvery hair (similar to Sesshoumaru's if you watch InuYasha). His eyes were a deep icy blue color.
"Heh." He had been watching the confrontation between Sailor Pluto and Pluto Knight that had occurred the day before. "Heh. It seems that Sailor Pluto can't stand her knight. That is good news for us. General Kurama! Come here at once!" The man who now sat in Beryl's throne waited for a moment, then General Kurama appeared out of nowhere before him. The young general had Dark brown hair and shocking green eyes. He wore a suit similar to Malachite's.
"What do you need my liege?" The young general stood before his king.
"I want you to go to Tokyo and find this woman." He showed him a picture of Setsuna. "Her name is Setsuna Meioh. Capture her and bring her here. Now go!" The young general didn't have to be told twice. He took the picture of Setsuna and vanished.
The king looked once again at the Senshi of Time. "Soon Sailor Pluto you will be here with me and you won't have to worry about Pluto Knight anymore." The king sat and stared at the image of Pluto thinking about how he would wipe her memories of her friends and the Pluto Knight. He laughed for a moment or two and then smiled slightly. "General Sia. Come here for a moment."
A young woman with flaming orange hair and beautiful purple eyes wearing a black dress with gray trim appeared before him.
"Yes King Daios?" He looked down at his loyal general.
"Sia I want you to follow Kurama and make sure he completes his mission. If he does not I want you to finish where he left off. Understood?"
She nodded "Yes sir!" And then she too vanished. 'Soon' Daios thought, 'soon you will be mine Sailor Pluto and together we will drain the world of energy and rule the lands!'
Tokyo - Hikawa Shrine-the next day:
All of the girls were gathered in the chamber of the Sacred Fire at the temple. "So Raye, anything on the new enemy yet?" Serena looked intently at Raye waiting for an answer.
"Not yet. It's kinda hard to concentrate when you keep asking me every five minutes!" Raye and Serena were fighting as usual while Mina and Lita talked about boys. Michiru and Ami were talking about computers while they were waiting for Raye's answer. Haruka watched Setsuna talking with Rini. She thought back to early this morning. She had heard some sobbing and moans from her room, but decided it was best to leave Setsuna alone.
"I'm sorry our lunch was ruined Small Lady." Setsuna and Rini were in a corner talking. They came to the temple for a meeting. Setsuna was relived that her friends were safe when she had gone back to the gates to find them. Luckily nothing had come to the gates since Pluto Knight had left them standing around in confusion.
"It's ok Puu! It wasn't your fault." Setsuna smiled at Rini.
The fire seemed to glow brighter and Raye looked at it harder before it flickered out. "I've got something!" Everyone turned to look at Raye. "It's the new enemy! Whoever it is they're after one of us." Raye turned and faced the other girls. "I'm not sure who it is though." She turned back to the fire, then remembered that it had gone out.
Michiru stood up and walked over to Haruka, "We'll find out who they're after. Right Ruka?" Haruka looked at her girlfriend, "Right." The two said their goodbyes and left to see what they could find out.
"This isn't good. I should get back to the gates just in case." Setsuna stood up and gave Rini one last hug and whispered in her ear, "Small Lady stay here with Serena ok? Please promise me that you will stay away from the gates until we can find out who the enemy is after."
Rini looked Setsuna in the eyes and whispered back, "Ok Puu I promise."
Setsuna then stood up straight. Everyone was looking at her and Rini. "I'll be leaving, take care everyone." With that Setsuna's Garnet Staff appeared in her hands and she disappeared.
"I think we could all do a little to help." Lita looked a little concerned.
"Yeah we should all see if we can help!" Mina was headed for the door.
"Right! Everyone see what you can find out. Serena you go to the game center and see if Luna can find anything."
Serena was headed for the door when Rini ran over to her. "I'm coming with you Serena!"
Serena looked down at her future daughter, "No Rini I want you safe until we know more."
Rini stood defiant. "I promised Puu that I would stay with you Serena."
Serena smiled. "Ok come on." They too left the temple and headed for the game center followed closely by Luna.
Downtown Tokyo - Crown Game Center:
"Hiya Andrew!"
Andrew turned around and smiled, "Hey Serena. Hi Rini. How are you two?"
They walked in and smiled at Andrew. "We're fine. Hey Andrew did you get the new Sailor V game yet?" Serena looked hopeful, but Andrew frowned.
"Nope. Sorry Serena, but that old one in the back is still around."
Serena smiled, "Thanks Andrew." Serena took Rini's hand and the both of them headed for the back of the arcade. "Ok Luna do your stuff." Luna hopped up on the stool and began to tap buttons while Serena made sure no one was watching them.
Rini looked over Luna's shoulder, "Anything yet Luna?"
Luna kept her attention on the screen, "Nothing yet Rini." Rini looked up and saw something that made her neck hairs stand on end.
The blonde haired boy looked over to the Sailor V game from habit. What he saw made him jump a foot in the air. It was the little pink haired girl that he had seen with Setsuna. She wasn't with Setsuna this time though. She was instead with one of the blonde girls from the other day. They were playing the Sailor V game. He looked at the little pink haired girl and realized she was looking at him like she could see through his disguise. He figured that she would know where Setsuna was.
Rini watched the young blonde man. He was in the restaurant the day the youma attacked. Serena hadn't noticed the young man until Rini poked her and nudged her in his direction.
"That's the man from the restaurant. The one Puu saw but couldn't find when the youma had been destroyed!" Serena stood up and looked at the young man as he walked over to them.
"Hello my name is Seth I work here." He held out his hand to shake Serena's. Serena accepted and shook his hand.
"Hi I'm Serena. This is my cousin Rini." She gestured to the little girl, "I've never seen you here before, and I come here all the time."
Seth smiled, "I'm new here in town. Hey do you know Setsuna Meioh? I uh saw her with Rini at a restaurant the other day."
Rini looked at him. "Yes we do know Setsuna. Why do you ask?"
Seth looked at the two girls. "I'm an old friend of hers." Serena and Rini looked at each other. The only "old" friends Setsuna had were Michiru, Haruka, and those who had lived in the Moon Kingdom, and it was destroyed long ago.
"Oh well um... heh you know what maybe you should go help Andrew with something." Serena looked like she was trying very hard to get rid of Seth. Unfortunately her plan backfired because just as she finished her sentence Andrew came walking towards them.
"Hi Serena I see you met the new guy Seth." Andrew smiled at Serena.
"Yeah we did, he was just saying how he was an old friend of Setsuna's."
Andrew looked at his new friend, "Really? I thought she looked like one of those people who had very few friends. As a matter of fact the most people I've seen her with was two. I think their names were Michiru Kaioh and Haruka Tenoh." Seth couldn't help but smile. Serena and Rini figured that it was because he now had a clue to finding Setsuna.
Luna poked Serena in the small of her back to let her know she was done. "Well you know time fly's. Must get going! See you later Andrew, oh uh, nice to meet you Seth! C'mon Rini time to go."
Rini picked up Luna and looked at Serena. Serena grabbed Rini's hand and the two left the game center. As they left Andrew waved and went back to work. Seth just watched them leave.
Unknown to all of them a stranger in the shadows was watching and listening to their conversation. "Finally I can find her and be done with this idiotic mission! Setsuna Meioh get ready to meet General Kurama of the Nega Force!"
Downtown Tokyo:
::BEEP::BEEP::BEEP:: Serena and Rini stopped running. Serena flipped open her communicator.
"Serena its Mina! Get to Haruka and Michiru's apartment quick! We've got another youma attack!"
"We'll be right there Mina!" Serena took Rini by the hand and they ran towards the apartment complexes.
Haruka and Michiru's apartment:
"AHAHAHAHA! You will all die at my hands sailor scouts!" The youma stood over the scouts it resembled a human girl only it wasn't. It had green skin and none of them knew what its power was.
"We will not give in to you!" Haruka stood up shielding Michiru. Both had remained untransformed so the enemy wouldn't know they were sailor scouts. Sailor Venus and Sailor Mars were unconscious against the wall.
Sailor Jupiter looked at her fallen friends, "You son of a... JUPITER THUNDER CLAP...ZAP!" The attack hit the youma square in the chest and knocked all the air out of its lungs.
Sailor Mercury was using her visor to find its weakness, when she did she exploited it. "SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!" It hit the youma in the forehead where there was a tiny jewel. "Sailor Jupiter aim for its forehead! That's its weak point!"
Sailor Jupiter grinned. "Ok! Hey nega dweeb! Look over here! SUPREME..." The youma turned around to face Jupiter and realized too late that it had fallen into a trap. "THUNDER!!!" Jupiter's attack hit the youma square in the forehead.
The youma screamed in pain. "EEEEEEEKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
From behind the youma they heard a familiar voice. "PINK SUGAR HEART ATTACK!!!" It was Sailor Chibi Moon. The attack hadn't done more than annoy the youma.
Then another familiar voice. "Stop right there nega scum! I am Sailor Moon! In the name of the Moon I will punish you! MOON PRINCESS ELIMINATION!!!" The youma turned into a pile of dust and ashes. Sailor Moon smiled at her friends. "Are you guys ok? Where are Sailor Venus and Sailor Mars?" Jupiter pointed to the two scouts who lay unconscious against the wall. "Venus! Mars!" Sailor Moon ran over to them. They stirred and opened they're eyes.
"Sailor......Moon...?" Venus and Mars smiled up at her.
"Are you two ok?" Mars sat up.
"Yeah we're ok. How are Haruka and Michiru?" When she said this Haruka and Michiru walked over and helped them up.
"We're alright. Thanks guys." Once they were upright and no longer woozy the room was filled with an extremely cold chill.
"Who's there? Show yourself!" Haruka looked around for a sign of who was making them freeze.
Above their heads a young man appeared. "WHERE IS SETSUNA MEIOH? ANSWER ME!" He gestured downwards and the scouts fell to their knees in pain.
"AHHHHHH!" The man seemed to take pleasure out of their torture. He floated to the ground and kicked over Michiru. Haruka couldn't reach her girlfriend.
"Stay...away...from....her!" The man grinned then looked at Michiru with contempt.
"Tell me where Setsuna Meioh is NOW, or die!" Michiru groaned in pain.
"I won't.....put...my.....friend...in...danger...." She yelped as the force began to crush her. She knew she couldn't stand much more in her human form, she needed to transform.
The man laughed hard and loud. "HA! The mighty sailor scouts will fall at the hands of General Kurama of the Nega Force!" A blast came from behind him and knocked him down hard. "Who dares...?" A tall figure stood in the window.
"I am the Senshi of Time! My duty is to guard the Gates of Time from invaders! But not before you are destroyed! I am Sailor Pluto!" Pluto stepped forward and aimed her staff at his chest. "Make your peace being of hatred!" Sailor Pluto towered over him. If looks could kill he would have died a thousand times over where he lay on the floor of the apartment.
"So you are the Senshi I am looking for...you have incredible power. No wonder our king wants us to capture you."
Pluto looked even angrier than before. "Well that's just too bad! I'm afraid that your time on this earth is over evil creature! DEAD SCREAM!"
The man had one last thought before his death, 'I failed you my king...'
All the scouts looked at Pluto horrified. "They're after you Sailor Pluto..?" Sailor Moon looked at the scout of time.
"Sailor Moon, for the safety of you and the others I will resume my place at the gates to lure them away from you."
Sailor Chibi Moon looked at her best friend terrified. "Puu you can't fight them alone! Let us help you, please?"
Sailor Pluto smiled sadly down at her friend. "I could never put you in danger Small Lady. For your safety you must stay away from the gates and myself. Now give me your Crystal Key." Pluto held out her hand. Chibi Moon had tears in her eyes as she handed over her only way to get to the gates. Pluto turned to Sailor Moon. "Here Sailor Moon keep this out of Small Lady's reach. If the time comes when I may be killed you must send her back to the 30th century as soon as you know that I am about die. Do you understand?"
Pluto looked at her with such pain in her eyes that Sailor Moon wanted to cry and blinked to hold back the tears threatening to burst forth.Sailor Moon nodded and tucked the key into her fuku. "I will Sailor Pluto, I promise."
Pluto looked the saddest any of them had ever seen her. "Take care of Small Lady for me." With a gesture she disappeared.
Chibi Moon ran to the spot where she had been just a moment ago. "Puu why did you have to leave me? All I wanted to do was help protect you...Puu!" Sailor Moon went to Rini and held her close to comfort her.
In the shadows stood the Pluto Knight. He had arrived too late. Pluto had said that she would die rather than let the enemy hurt her friends. He decided to show himself to the scouts. He would need their help if he wanted to protect his princess.
Unknown to all of them a second figure was also watching them, and scowling at the pile of ashes on the floor. "Hmf. That baka. What kind of moron charges in like that. He should have blended in. Pretending to be a neighbor who was concerned about the noise. What was he thinking." The short woman opened a small black communicator. "King Daios. Kurama has failed. I General Sia will be taking over the mission to capture Setsuna Meioh." Sia watched them all for a second longer and then she left.
