"Well, that went well. What's up with that Odori girl? She wouldn't even look at you."

"So ,are you entering the race this weekend."

"Your dodging the question Hike."

"I'm just not in the mood Michiru. Some girls just don't like me. I've learned to deal with it. People find me too forward and cross. I can't have all friends and no enemies. Not just as a Senchi either."

"Speaking of enemies, have you picked up anymore information."

"I'm getting an arrow in my visions along with Sakue. It must be that guy Rigel who helped Menkar, though helped is a loose word. Menkar's not coming up anymore."

"Sakue told us about that. You think,"

"Almost positive. These guys don't take well to failure."

"What evil group has?" Michiru said.

"That's true. So, this new guy must be thinking on a way to stomp us. What have you guys got in the Sol Senchi arsenal?"

"Sailor Mars' Flame Sniper could be useful."

"And my Space Sword Blaster."

"My anchor is good for shooting."

"Like that move you used against Menkar to get me out of his water sphere. Thanks for that be the way."

"You quite welcome."

They walked up the steps to Juuban Elementary. Hotaru ran out to hug Haruka and Michiru. Setsuna and Sukue followed slowly after.

"Hey Hike-Chan!"

"Hey Hotaru. Nice to see ya again."

"You too. Hey Haruka-papa, can they come to dinner?"

"I don't know about that Hotaru. Me and Hike have to get home. Maybe some other time. I promise."

"Okay Sakue-Chan."

"Well Oneesan, what's the plan?"

"Until Rigel shows his ugly mug, we're laying low. Ready to go Sakue?"

"Been ready, I've been waiting for you."

"then let's go."

Hike got on her bike and pulled on her helmet. Sakue pulled on hers and Hike started the engine.

"Till next we meet Senchi of the outer Sol Galaxy. Ye-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!"

Hike and Sakue sped off into the sunset. Haruka watched them leave and gave a small smile.

------------------------

A man in a mask stood atop a statue. a group of small children below him.

"Welcome children, big and small, welcome, welcome, welcome all! Gather round me on this day, come my children, let us PLAY!"

Rockets and fire works exploded from his cape as he revealed himself.

"Makura the magician, I say my name. Makura the great, don't think me lame. I'll dazzle and trace you with my daring feats, I'll sweeten and smile you with my wonderful treats. Come children my song I cry, come and watch. This day you DIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Arrows of green and red energy shot from the trees, hitting the children's hearts, ripping there soul stones from them.

"My, I'm done. That was fun."

"Hold it right there!"

He turned around the see five silhouettes.

"Deary me! Could it be?"

"You dare hurt these poor children who came for a magic show. I am Sailor Moon. On behalf of the Moon, I'll punish you!"

"And we are the Sailor Senchi!"

"Well, well. Sailors you are. I am Rigel, warrior by far. Great is my eye, sound is my ear. Run my Sailors, for you will die here!"

He strung his bow and fired at Sailor Moon.

"Mars Flame Sniper!"

The fire arrow collided with the wind arrow and shot it aside.

"Senchi of Mars, you bow is strong. But with only it to fire, you won't last long!"

He shot off arrows faster then any machine gun, hitting them each at least a couple times. They all staggered up.

"Man, he's good. I don't know about this."

"We do!"

The bow master looked up and saw two shadows jump from the trees and land next to the others.

"Sorry Rigel, but your time is up."

"Hope you don't slip, while we're mopping the floor with you."

"Sailor Sun! Sailor Polaris!"

"Greetings Sailor Moon, care if we help?"

"No problem."

"Sun?"

"Gladly."

She jumped into the air. She spun her anchor and chain around her in a downward spiral.

"Corkscrew Grappling,"

She stopped and aimed a kick right for her anchor, which was aimed at Rigel.

"SHOT!"

Her anchor flew into Rigel's chest and through it, sending pain throughout his body. He fell to the ground, twitching in pain. He got up and looked in fury at Sun.

"Take that you pain in the fuku. Anchor Return!"

The anchor returned to her arm. She stood next to Polaris and they both shot looks of hatred at Rigel. The outers ran up next to them.

"Man, I guess you guys are already on it."

"Yup, we got it covered."

"By the stars in the sky, I hope you all die!"

Rigel jumped up and spun in a cyclone, shooting hundreds of arrows at them. Polaris held out her staff and the sphere on the top became a dome of rainbow colored energy that blocked the arrows around her, her sister and the outers. The inners weren't as lucky. They screamed in pain. When it was over, Polaris lowered her shield. She and the others ran over to them. Rigel growled in anger. He fired another on slot but again Polaris blocked.

"If you think those arrows of yours are going to brake though my Sphere shield, your crazy."

"I think not, your kind will rot!"

He strung a single arrow to his bow and fired. Polaris put up her shield. The arrow borrowed like a drill at the shield. Polaris was straining to keep it back. Rigel smirked and with a great scream released hundreds more arrows at Polaris, who was already weak by this time. She managed to stop the arrows, all but one. The first arrow shot straight through the barrier and slammed into her. She flew backwards in pain.

"Polaris! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine Sailor Moon. But my barriers broke. It'll be some time before I can use it again."

"This is bad. My Anchor can become a shield too but Polaris' is more powerful. Mine won't stand a second."

"Let me try." Mercury said, coming foreword. "Mercury Aqua RHAPSODY!"

The harp created a wall of ice between Rigel and the Senchi.

"I don't know how long it will hold but it's better then letting him hit us straight on again."

"We need a plan. We can't keep this up like this. Well be killed for sure."

"Polaris maybe it's time." Polaris said in a thought message to Sun.

"No! We can't risk her being exposed yet. I won't have her here in this kind of danger."

"You can't protect her forever."

"Let's at least try with just us two. We have to."

"Alright."

Rigel fired more of his energy arrows at the wall of ice, slowly beginning to chip it away. The senchi all gasped at once.

"Oh no. Sailor Moon you have to hit him now."

"She can't, even if I get though Mercury's wall, the arrows will swarm us all." Uranus said to Sun.

"Yes I can."

Sailor Moon marched forward.

"Silver Moon Crystal Power KISS!"

The white, feathered attack blasted though Mercury's barrier, but wasn't enough to over power Rigel's arrows. They quickly consumed the attack and fired straight for just her.

"Sailor Moon! Look out!"

Sailor Moon looked in horror as hundreds of arrows sped toward her, with no Tuxedo Kamen to protect her.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
