"Man, it is cold out
here."
"Sailor Moon. We're in the Arctic. What did
you expect?"
Sailor Moon sneezed in response to Sailor
Jupiter's question.
"No wonder we could never figure out
where Maddy was; we thought she would have found a different
hideout, not use her sister's," Sailor Venus
commented.
"ChibiMercury, were are we off to?" Sailor
ChibiJupiter asked.
"Well, I'm getting a strong
negative reading from that direction," Sailor ChibiMercury
pointed.
"Let's head over there." Venus started
heading in the direction, then stopped and turned around. "And
minna, be careful."
After walking for about fifteen
minutes, ChibiMercury stopped. "Someone's coming towards
us!"
"Who is it?" ChibiJupiter asked
impatiently.
"It looks like. . .Darien-san?" asked
ChibiMercury.
"How'd he get here?" asked
Venus.
"Tuxedo Mask!" (You can guess who said
that.)
"Sailor Moon! I went to the temple and Sammy told
me you went ahead to fight the enemy, so I got Sailor Pluto to
bring me here."
"Well, we're glad you are here,"
I said. "Now, let's move!"
"A tarmy nsk
areit!" boomed a voice.
"Who said that?" asked
ChibiMercury.
"Queen Maddy," answered ChibiJupiter.
As she continued to talk, ChibiJupiter translated her words: "'You
have ruined my life, took away my sister, and shattered my dreams
for a better world!'"
"What do you mean better
world?" asked Sailor Moon.
"'A world ruled by me!
Where no one would feel pain!'" I translated.
"But we
have felt pain; we have lost friends. You wouldn't make a good
ruler," said Sailor Moon.
"'Idiot! How dare you speak
to me that way!' Uh oh. What is sh. . .?" A burst of light
appeared, blinding them all. .

Donny
looked up as Sammy rustled the newspaper. "Hey! Listen at
this," Sammy said. "'Think the Sailor Senshi are limited
to Japan? Not so. Reports from the United States say that a Senshi
by the name Sailor StarMoon has been fighting for love and justice
for about two years, showing up shortly after Sailor V. While it
is not known whether Sailor StarMoon knows Sailor V, she seems
very friendly, helping old ladies cross the street, showing
five-years-old their way home, and basically being a police
officer in a school uniform. And while the problems she has faced
are not has big, she has helped out in a big way.
"'Will
StarMoon make her way over to Japan and join our Senshi? Or will
the Senshi go over to help her? Only time will tell.'"
"Another
Senshi? It's official; there are too many," said Donny.
Sammy nodded.
"Sailor
Jupiter? Sailor Venus? Get up." ChibiMercury shock the two
girls until they woke up. "Do you know where we are? My
computer won't work in here."
The older girls admitted
that they had no idea where they were, but decided they should
look for the others since Sailor Moon, Neo-Moon, ChibiJupiter, nor
Tuxedo Mask were in the room.
"It looks like there is a
light at the end of that tunnel," said Venus.
ChibiMercury
grabbed Jupiter's arm. "Don't worry; we'll watch out for
you," said Jupiter in a gentle voice.
ChibiMercury took a
deep breath. "Okay."
"Darien? Darien!!"
The image of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask went from blurry to not
blurry as ChibiJupiter woke up and groaned.
"CJ! Gomen ne,
I didn't see you there. But I'm glad you're up!"
"S'all
right. I am okay. Really." Well, this is great,
ChibiJupiter thought. First, I have a headache, then I sound
like a drunk. And we are lost. But it could be worse. I could be
alone.
