The senshi of wind awoke suddenly and found herself in an American hotel.
She opened her eyes fully and saw the face of her sleeping lover in front
of her. She smiled and began playing with a lock of Michiru's hair. 'She's
so beautiful!" She thought, 'So perfect." Suddenly a horrid feeling hit
Haruka in the pit of her stomach and she remembered what had awaken her.
Slowly, as not to wake her sleeping partner, she crawled out of bed, put a robe on, and stepped onto the balcony. She looked out into the city full of lights. The wind blew past her face, and whispered to her of evil afoot. Something was threatening this earth, she was certain.
Haruka gasped as she felt a pair of arms slide around her middle. She turned to see it was Michiru, embracing her from behind. "So you feel it too." Michiru commented. Haruka only nodded in reply. "This earth is in danger. We should contact the others."
"Hai." agreed Haruka, "Tomorrow. The world can wait. You promised it would be just you and me tonight." She said and reached out and grabbed her beloved's hand.
A smile grazed Michiru's lips. "I did." She admitted, and led Haruka back to the bed.
A few hours later, in Japan, a group of girls, a guy, and two talking cats were gathered at a familiar temple having a very serious discussion.
"Tell me again, what was her name?" Luna asked.
"Sailor Star, but Chibiusa called her Nella." Usagi answered.
"And Chibiusa seemed to know her well?"
"Hai."
"Perhaps she's from the future?" Ami suggested
"Or another galaxy," Artemis put in, "I don't recall any Sailor Star, but the name Nella sounds familiar."
"Yes," commented Luna, "It does."
"So now we have a new enemy who call themselves the 'Dark Evil', I think, and yet another Sailor Senshi who refuses to work with us." Rei put out.
"It appears so," Minako commented.
"Anything from the fire, Rei?" Makoto asked.
"Nothing," Rei stated, "But I have a bad feeling. And I don't trust the Star girl."
"Why?!" Usagi blurted, "She saved us!"
"Usagi, must you always be so trusting?" Makoto sighed.
"I've never led us wrong." She pouted in reply.
"Yes, but this girl is different." Rei started, "I feel an enormous power surrounding her, and it's not pure like the Silver Crystal's power. It's almost...evil."
Everyone stared wide-eyed and confused for a while.
"Mamoru, you've been awfully quiet. What do you make of all this?" Minako asked.
"Is it just me," He started, "or was there something...familiar about that girl?" Everyone nodded.
"I felt something in my heart when I saw her." Usagi admitted, "I feel sadness. I feel close to her. I want to run to her and comfort her. I wanted to help her. It was so weird." She paused for a moment and then continued. "I know her. I've seen her before. I'm sure of it. But, I just can't remember." She let her head drop into her hands. Rei patter her shoulder sympathetically.
"So, what do we do now?" Minako asked, breaking the silence.
"We wait, and we prepare to fight." answered Ami, "In the mean time I'll contact Haruka and Michiru." Everyone nodded and left to finish their day as originally planned.
Meanwhile in the gates of time Pluto was looking out into the far reaches of the fourth dimension where a violent storm threatened to destroy everything in its path. Something big was happening, and not for the better. The time gates would show her nothing, which meant that this event could alter time itself. A golden flash of light appeared.
"Nella?" Sailor Pluto whispered into the darkness.
"Yes." Came the response, "Lady Serenity has been returned home safely."
"Thank you. Now can you kindly tell me what is going on out there?!"
"The Dark Evil has come back. And this time they've managed to get around me. They've taken half of this side of the universe and have started to invade this galaxy, and earth." The voice was grim and regretful.
"I'm sorry." Was all Pluto could manage to say.
Tears welled up in Nella's eyes. Her voice shook as she spoke. "I wanted to avoid facing the past again, but they returned, and now I have to stop them."
"You're not alone this time. You have all of the armies of the universe under your command. And the Sailor Senshi of earth are the greatest of them all. They will protect earth. We can beat them." Sailor Pluto said, attempting to encourage her friend.
"They've taken the majority of the armies I have for there side. They're playing that game again." She paused, smiling, "And I, being as stubborn as Uranus, am not allowing the senshi to help."
"So you have seen them then." Pluto acknowledged grimly.
"Yes, painfully so." She replied, looking at the ground.
"They won't allow you to just come in and tell them not to help. You know that well."
"I do."
"You'll have to tell them who you are. You'll have to restore their memories and face the past."
"I know," she replied and looked into the eyes of her one and only friend, "That's why I need you to come with me. I can't face them alone."
"I'll come, but first I need to put a seal on the gates, which may take a while."
"Hai. I'll be back in a few days." She whispered and faded with a flash of golden light.
Off in the universe somewhere....
"40,000?! Is that all you have brought me?! Pathetic! We've conquered 7 galaxies and that is all the minions you have captured for me?! Explain yourself!" The evil queen barked at her servant.
"W-Well my queen not all of the people were proper vassals, and we did fight the people so the majority of them died," Ramsel stuttered.
"This is crap! One hundred and forty of the 1,258 planets we attacked were occupied! You should have at least one million proper vassals! Obviously you are not working hard enough. And I hear on earth you have only attacked Japan. What is wrong with you?!"
"I just wanted to check out the amount of power I was feeling in that area."
"Don't talk to me like that!!!! Now these are your orders, hear them! Use 10,000 of the minions and attack all over earth. I want every single person on earth as mine. You also must notify Bram, Forgoi, Vinella, and Toin to help you. Now go!!!"
"Yes my queen!" Ramsel muttered and then ran off. The queen got up from her thrown and looked down upon the planet called earth.
"This is a powerful solar system, the last with living inhabitants. Once I have it the Universe will be mine!!!" She screeched and began to laugh, evilly.
Slowly, as not to wake her sleeping partner, she crawled out of bed, put a robe on, and stepped onto the balcony. She looked out into the city full of lights. The wind blew past her face, and whispered to her of evil afoot. Something was threatening this earth, she was certain.
