Sailor Moon closed her eyes, waiting for the pain. And waited. And waited.
"Sailor Moon look!" Sailor Venus cried with joy.
"Huh?"
Sailor Moon opened her eyes and saw it. A round orange and red disk of light had made a partially transparent shield in front of her. The arrows were stuck in the shield, unable to move themselves.
"How dare you try and harm the Guardian of Earth!" Said a voice from the trees. "I will not stand for it!"
Suddenly the Senchi could all hear music. It was a quick pop dance beat, almost causing Venus to start dancing. A figure jumped from the shadows, did three somersaults and landed behind the shield in front of Sailor Moon and the others. Her hair was bright red, almost on fire. She wore a red fuku with orenge bow. Her eyes were the color of orenge glass.
"I am," She said, then turned around. "The Senchi of Sound, Dance and Music. I am the master of the Eternal Song and the Mach Ring. I am Sailor Comet!"
"IMOUTOSAN!" Polaris and Sun said at once.
"IMOUTOSAN?" Said the others.
"You didn't expect me to let you take all the credit. Now," She said then turned around with a quick spin, "Your rhymes are bad. You beat just reeks. I never heard something so bad in weeks. Your costume is tacky, you weapon a bust, I'll laugh when I beat you into the dust. Now, I hate to say, and you know that's it's true, I'm going to make you black, purple and blue!"
Comet did a spin jump off the top0 edge of the shield and roundhoused Rigel in the head, sending him backwards and rolling into the base of a tree a few feet away.
"Ring Return!"
The shield shrank into a small, shiny orange and red shockrum. She grabbed it in her hand and aimed it at Rigel.
"You got two chooses, Run or by sliced in two. Which one is it?"
"Do not hurt me, I beg of thee."
"Stop begging. Now which is it."
"I shall run, run away. I wish to live another day."
"Smart move."
Rigel disappeared in a jet of green wind. Sun and Polaris went up to Comet.
"Imoutosan, I told you not to get involved till we thought it was time."
"If sick of getting left behind. I'm not a child. I can take care of myself."
"I know, but I worry. I won't be a good Oneesan if I didn't."
"Your right." Sailor Comet then gave Sun a hug.
Sailor Sun was about to cry until,
"Excuse me? What's going on here?" Sailor Mars said, as completely confused as the rest of them.
"This is my little sister, Sailor Comet."
"Mine too." Polaris said, resting a hand on Comet's shoulder.
"Sakue-Chan, why didn't you tell us?" Venus asked.
"I didn't think it was time. You all know me as a human but I couldn't risk putting my sisters in danger by saying who they were. We're not one to trust people easily with that information."
"But you lied to us!"
"I didn't lie! I just didn't tell you. There's a difference."
"But now Rigel knows you three are sisters, you plan was useless." Uranus cut in.
"Not entirely. Our human identities are still secret, for the most part. And I think it's better this way. I like having my sisters with me."
"Well said Comet. And she's right. Even if Rigel knows were sisters, that as useful as knowing Sailor Moon is Princess Serenity." Sun said.
"How do you know that?!" Sailor Moon gasped.
"The same way we know about your true identities. The Eternal Mosaic." Said Polaris
"The Eternal Melody!" Cried Comet.
"And The Eternal Memoir."
"The What?"
How do we explain it.....em...."
"Hey, Polaris, can I? Can Sailor Moon hear her song?"
"Good one Comet. Go ahead."
Comet held out her Mach Ring, it hovered in the air as she slowly let it go. It spun rapidly and glowed red. Comet closed her eyes and her tiara broke into golden light. The light spun with the disk and flew around Sailor Moon. Comet's Senchi symbol glowed on her forehead for a second, then was replaced by another tiara. Suddenly, the song from before was replaced by another song. It was similar in beat, but now there were words now, words Sailor Moon could hear in her head. Comet opened her eyes and the disks power wrapped around them both. Sailor Moon was first frightened but it quickly melted away. Comet began to dance to the music. Sailor Moon began to dance with her. She was so excited, she began to sing.
"hitomi wa itsumo jyueru bodii ni matou rame and chaamu ikite yuku koto wa try get a chance koko ni arukara tsuyoi yume
Gan! Gan! kechirashitekou raibaru darake no mahiru egao yori kuchibiru yori ai biimu ga kimewaka
watashi ni nare kirari to Sailor Diamonds yoake ni umareru gaadian watashi dakara kanau yo starlight prayers Maiku appu shiyou yo kirameki wa mune ni Sailor senshi, sore wa muunraito riaru gaaru"
Her body seemed to be moving by itself. Comet was mimic her moves. They looked like two members of the same dance team, like they had practiced together for years. Comet stopped dancing after a while and grabbed Sailor Moon arm gently.
"Shall I let your friends join us?"
"That would be great!"
"All right! Sisters! I need your help. She wants us all to dance to her soul song!"
Sun and Polaris heard Comet's words in her head. She nodded to her other sister and they both closed there eyes. Power from there items drifted toward Sailor Moon and Comet, creating a growing cyclone of energy. It wrapped around all the Senchi and they too could now hear the song.
"Never thought Sailor Moon would have such a cool soul song."
"Me neither, but let's dance anyway."
Sun giggled and then went to join the others. Uranus and Neptune danced together as Saturn bounced around with Venus and Mars. Mercury and Polaris danced side by side, mimicking each other like Sailor Moon and Comet. After a while, the Senchi had tired and had to wrap it up. Comet stopped the music by waving a hand over her Mach Disk. It stopped spinning and landed in her hand.
"That was fun! I want to do it again!"
"Sorry Sailor Venus. My powers running low and I don't want to be caught by an enemy like this. So, until next time Sailors of Earth."
Polaris and Sun walked up next to Comet and they each struck a pose. With that, they jumped into the trees and vanished.
"That was so cool! I want to do that again some time."
"Then let's talk to Sakue about coughing up who her sisters are."
"No." Uranus said, coldly. "Don't force her to reveal there identities, there safer that way."
"Uranus is right." Neptune broke in. "Sun's a good friend of ours and we don't want her reveling her identity till she's ready."
Uranus gave a look of shock to Neptune. Neptune narrowed her eyes at Uranus and Uranus dropped her expression.
"Well, if guys think it's a bad idea, I'll respect that. You guys are my good friends and I don't want to jeopardize that."
"Thank you Sailor Moon."
"Your Welcome."
"Well you three, let's go home." Uranus beckoning to Neptune, Saturn and Pluto.
They all pilled into Uranus' gold sports car and drove. After detransforming, Haruka turned to Michiru.
"Why did you have to lie? I don't like to lie. Not saying is one thing, as Polaris put it."
"I had to say something. If they found out we know who Sun is and didn't tell them, the inners will have our heads."
"Michiru's right. Anyway, we have to talk to Hike tomorrow and ask her about her younger sister."
"Hotaru!"
"No! Not to ask her who she really is. Just, what kind of abilities does she have. I doubt that Mach Ring Shield is her only weapon. Sun and Polaris have shown there extremely adaptable and versatile."
"Alright. That works. I just wish there was an easier way to find her then having to meet her at school."
A few minutes later, they arrived home. Haruka was ready to open the door when she looked down at the floor mat. It was a single piece of paper held down by a rock.
"What is it?"
"A note, I think."
She saw a black sun was drawn on the back.
"It's from Sun." Hotaru said as she looked.
Haruka unfolded it and read it aloud.
Dear Haruka,
My sisters and I have come to an agreement. Comet won't be helping us anymore. She's retiring her fuku until we find out more about this enemy. I know she is helpful, but I would rather have all my bones broken and my blood drained then see anything bad happen to my youngest sister. Polaris will still be helping me fight. I hope you don't hate me for not telling you about my imoutosan. I wish I could have when I first meet you. I have yet to lie to you. The truth is, I can't lie. So, until next we meet.
Your friend in arms,
Hike a.k.a. Sailor Sun
P.S. Thanks for not telling them Michiru.
Michiru looked up and Haruka.
"She heard me. She was still there. The three of them were. Watching us."
"None of us."
"What?"
Haruka looked with a hard look at the other three.
"None of us will question them about there sister. They have to right to do what they did."
Michiru, Hotaru and Setsuna all nodded back to her. Haruka put the note in her pocket and walked inside.

"Rigel, you failed."
"I should have placed a bet Oniisan."
Sirius scowled at Procyon. The younger quieted right up.
"Forgive me Lord on High, I failed though I do try."
"Yes, you did fail and for that you will be punished."
"Please Lord I beg thee, do not harm small little me."
"STOP! You know I hate groveling."
Rigel shivered on his knees as he begged on the cold ground.
"Oniisan, I wish to ask him some things."
"Very well."
Procyon came forward and looked down at Rigel.
"Rigel, tell me, what was this new Senchi like?"
"She was a master of rhythm and rhyme. She kept quick beat and was key on time. A ring of Power she used with grace. Hatred and anger did not stain her face."
"Enough. Rigel, you are hereby assigned a partner. Two Brotherhood members are better then one."
"Procyon, sir, I must ask who. Which brother will help me though?"
"Vega."
Sirius and Rigel looked at Procyon in shock.
"Vega maybe a little boyish and uncaring, but so was Menkar. I lost a good friend. Vega will replace him."
"My nephew was weak, his hand unfit, but I can't say bad about his wit. Vega is near to Menkar, that is right. But is he willing and ready to fight?"
"I am."
A older teen boy, only a few years older then Procyon came forward. He wore street clothes, colored blue and red, his lord colors.
"You wish me to fight, I will fight. I don't like the idea but I will. For Menkar."
"For menkar." Procyon whispered.
Rigel left with Vega, ready to take on the Senchi.
"What are you up to Procyon?"
"I only wish to own Earth, Oniisan."
"No. You have something else planned. Very well, if you do not wish to tell me. But know this, I am your brother. I care about you and your well being. Don't rush into anything."
"I won't Oniisan, I won't."
"Sailor Moon look!" Sailor Venus cried with joy.
"Huh?"
Sailor Moon opened her eyes and saw it. A round orange and red disk of light had made a partially transparent shield in front of her. The arrows were stuck in the shield, unable to move themselves.
