I'm doing three new chapters on here to catch with what I wrote this summer. A new update won't be for a few weeks. Hopefully this will keep you busy. And as always, I don't own Sailor Moon and all that Jazz. ~Inesita~

________________________________________________________________ Pearl warped into their room and placed Diamond on the bed. The rose had been removed earlier but the wound was still very open. Placing her hands over the wound near his heart she concentrated the small part of her lunar energy into her hands until the wound started to heal of its own accord. It confused her as to why the two powers coexisted but she didn't ask in moments like this. As soon as she was certain he wasn't going to loose any more blood she let her tired body collapse next to his. Using her lunar powers took a lot out of her. It wasn't until hours later that she was awoken by insistent knocking from the door. Pearl got up and made sure that she didn't look too disheveled before she opened the door to a very worried Sapphire. "He is fine Sapphire just sleeping. You can come in if you want."
"What happened? I heard he was wounded?"
"That idiot Tuxedo tried to stop me by sending a rose at my throwing arm. Diamond got in the way of the rose and it got him near the heart. I was able to stop the bleeding but he is going to be out for a day at least. I had to use my lunar energy and it isn't exactly compatible with Nega-moon energy." Pearl patted Sapphire's shoulder. He cared for his brother so much. "You stay with him for a while I am going to take a walk."
Pearl wandered the halls of the palace and brooded over the outcome of the battle. Things had gotten too close at the end. She was going to have to use a different method to stop these scouts.
"Why if it isn't the little failure." Pearl turned around to find Emerald gloating. "I heard about your little accident. It isn't good press to injure the Prince. You never know who you will insult."
"Why Emerald, who said he was in any danger. As we speak he is sleeping comfortably. Unlike you I don't let my allies die."
"Strong words for someone who can't even usurp her own friends."
"Ex-friends Emerald. I would remember that if I were you, I wouldn't want to get on that list if I were you."
"You will loose and then I will take Diamond as it should have been before you came." Pearl held back her anger. Emerald was becoming a nuisance. Thinking better of a confrontation she merely walked away. "Oh, so you run now. Run you little witch. Your day will come soon!"
"No Emerald your day is coming. I can promise that!" Pearl warped out of the hall before Emerald could retaliate.

Back in Tokyo Richie was waiting at the pier for the others to show up. Around his neck was a small key. True their word all five of them showed up around dawn and were all transformed.
"You guys ready? It is kinda going to be a bumpy ride."
"If it is to save Serena lets go for it! I can't wait to get my hands on that slime ball Diamond!" Jupiter hit her fist into her palm. Richie took the key from around his neck and raised it above his head. Pretty soon a ring of clouds formed over his head and then a flash of light. When it passed they were no longer on the pier but standing in front of a huge door and surrounded by fog.
"Pluto where are you! I have come with friends to help my parents." Out of the mist a Sailor scout dressed in a green and purple uniform came out.
"Welcome back Prince Rhond. I have been expecting you."
"We wish to go to Crystal Tokyo. Serena is there we are trying to save her."
"I know. I saw her come through here. I can give you all safe passage but remember to stay on task. It is very easy to get lost in the time stream." Pluto raised her key shaped staff to the door and slowly they opened. "Good Luck Scouts."

The scouts found themselves in a crystal garden when the doors behind them closed and disappeared. The sky was dark and ominous, the only source of light was a bright forcefield that surrounded the garden and the tall crystal tower in front of them. Richie placed the key back under his shirt and turned around to see all of the scouts and Tuxedo staring around in confusion. "Well, this is home. Welcome to Crystal Tokyo." Just as he finished his welcome a petite girl with long silver hair came crashing into Richie sending him and the girl to the ground.
"Rhond, your back!!" the girl was hugging Rhond fiercely. The scouts just stared at the girl. Her hair was in the same style as Serena when she was Princess Serenity but silver white and she was wearing the same kind of dress. Her eyes were blue-grey and the moon symbol was very clear on her forehead. Before anyone could ask a question an even smaller blonde came running too and soon all three of them were on the ground.
"Ronny! Ronny!!"
After those few awkward moments Richie was able to pull both girls up and almost laughed at their faces. All of them were lost. "I would like you to meet my sisters. This is Princess Selene and Princess Usagi." Both girl curtsied but it was obvious that little Usagi who was no more than four was still a little clumsy on her feet. Both girls were in similar dresses and similar hair styles except Usagi had cones instead of buns and her eyes were bright blue. She looked the most like Serena.
"Well, if we are going to find my mother we had better get inside."
The group followed Richie, no Prince Rhond and his sisters through crystal halls that glittered with magic. On the walls pictures of the children and their mother decked the halls as well as very impressive works of art. Except for them it seemed no one was left in the castle their footstep echoed through out the halls. When they finally reached a large set of doors the doors opened of their own accord and the girls ran in ahead of Rhond. The scouts entered to find them hugging a women sitting on the throne but what took their breath away was who she was. It was Serena but much older. On her head she wore a crown tiara and even her air was different. She reminded them more of Princess Serenity than Serena. The Queen's eyes lit up at the sight of her son and she welcomed him back with open arms. But when she went to give him a kiss on the cheek he shied away like any normal boy.
"Welcome to Crystal Tokyo Scouts. I am Neo-Queen Serenity. I see that my son has brought you here with good reason. Things have gone terribly wrong."
