The Second Senchi

By Trey Hayes

Phase 2

Minako-Chan sat in the Parlor of the north side of the palace. She sat in a very plush arm chair and looked out of the 30 foot windows that surrounded her. She looked into the sky as she tried to block the sounds of the frustrated soldiers running around the place trying to secure the safety of the young queen. She sighed deeply and exhaled upward causing her blond bangs to fly upward.

"Tell the south side to secure all the entrances to the palace, everyone of them." shouted one guard to another, who quickly ran off to the other side of the castle.

Minako stood and walked calmly through the hustle and bustle of the hundreds of guards that were running around her and made her way through them to the royal camber room. Upon opening the door, she found a young pink-haired girl with a silver crown atop her head sitting slouched back with the tips of her fingers on her forehead, rubbing it furiously.

"Usa-chan," she said softly, and the young woman looked up ward.

"Minako-chan, I'm so glad your here. I don't know what to do!" she screamed as she leapt out of her throne and into her longtime friends arms. Minako embraced the young one and lowered her head. The two then slowly separated.

"You have to think of something," Minako looked Chibiusa in the eye, " You are the queen and the entire planet is counting on you."

Tears came from Chibiusa's eyes and she broke down speaking in a sobbing voice, " I CAN'T HANDLE THIS!!!" She stopped long enough to collect herself and continued. " That why I've decided to make you the general of the armed forces and commander of all missions against the enemy."

Minako's eyes went wide and she stepped back in sheer shock. All of the color in her face drained away until she was almost ghost white. Her eyes seemed to glaze over and she stood silent of a moment until Chibiusa's voice brought her back to her senses.

"Are you alright?" she asked as she watched her friend in concern. Minako rubbed her forehead and nodded and Chibiusa continued.

"The Space scientist estimate about 3 days time before the invasions begins. I was thinking of attacking them before they have a chance to enter the earths atmosphere."

"A preemtive strike? That would take the a lot of man power and a lot of time to put together." Minako said.

"It's Already been arranged, all the men and weapons needed are already in a ship ready to be launched in the next few hours."

A little taken back, Minako shook her head in agreement and headed out of the room for the space port.

Chibiusa lowered her head as she watched her long time friend and protector walk out of the room. She really didn't want to put all this pressure squarely on Minako-chan's shoulders, but she didn't know what else to do. Usa-chan sst back on her throne and opened the secret compartment in the left arm. She unearthed the small locked that once enabled her to become Sailor Chibimoon and placed it in her lap. She then brought her hands to her chest abs the locket that held her bow to her dress opened and out floated the Silver Moon Crystal into her hands. She held the old locket and the crystal next to each other and the fused into one item. She held it up to face level and gave it a good luck.

"Don't worry Minako-chan," she said quietly, "You wont be fighting this battle alone." She stood and quickly hurried out of the throne room.

Minako reached the space port and hid behind a building. Making sure no one was watching, she took out her hensin and shouted, "VENUS CRYSTAL POWER.....MAKE UP!!" After transforming, she quickly made her way to the space shuttle that was minutes from departing. She entered the shuttle and just as she did the palace alarms blared throughout the space port. She looked around like all the warriors that were selected to go to space on the ship when another soldier ran into the ship and shouted,

"The creatures are already on the planet!! Their attacking people all over Crystal Tokyo!!"

Everyone rushed out of the ship and ran toward the palace. When they got there they were confronted by a group of frantic guards all shouting at once.

"All of you," Venus commanded, " Where is the queen, I must speak to her immediately!"

"We don't know," one guard said, "she and the silver crystal have both disappeared!"

Venus' eyes widened and shouted, "What??!!!" 'She wouldn't, would she? Not after all these Years?" she thought and then took off running toward Crystal Tokyo.

"SILVER MOON CRYSTAL POWER KISS!!!" shouted a voice and a yellow light streamed out of the shadows engulfing a group of the horrid looking monsters in a ball of light in which they all stood straight and promptly exploded into white powder.

Venus came running up just in time to see the creatures explode and stopped in her tracks shocked at the attack she hadn't seen in almost 30 years. She looked and out of the shadows came a slender girl with two long pink ponytails and whore a fuku that was pink white and yellow with wings across the back. Venus looked at her and saw the exact replica of her long time friend Usagi.

The girl walked up to Venus and smiled.

"I know you couldn't let you fight these things all alone, so Sailor Moon is back!!!"
