Chapter 19

Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna slept deeply. They had bought an extra bed for Setsuna so she slept in the sitting room. The school didn't even realise there was an extra person in the two people room. Haruka and Michiru thought this had something to do with the fact that Setsuna was Sailor Pluto but they never questioned her. As they slept they dreamed.

dreams

Sailor Uranus looked at her communicator screen on Castle Miranda, she had just been speaking to Sailor Neptune when their communication was cut short. Queen Serenity face appeared on the giant screen.

"Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. Enemies have appeared from the Planet Earth. They are too great in number. If we die call forth Sailor Saturn, the enemy can not win." The great Queen ended the communication and the screen split revealing the other two outer senshi.

Neptune spoke. "An enemy from Earth? Prince Endymion is from that planet. Who would have thought the enemy would attack from one of the inner planets. We have to get to the Moon quickly."

Sailor Pluto looked at her screen "Prince Endymion is Princess Serenitys fiancé, he would never harm her. Looks like we will finally be meeting in the flesh, shame it had to be like this. I shall see you on the Moon. Pluto out."

For Uranus and Neptune it would not be their first time meeting. They had secretly met each other out of curiosity and they had formed a very close bond.

"I love you Neptune."

"I love you Uranus." They grabbed their talismans and followed Pluto to the Moon Kingdom.

Moon Kingdom

The Outer Senshi arrived at different points on the Moon. They had to fight the enemy before they saw each other. Neptune stood beside Pluto, she had arrived outside the palace. "Princes Serenity and her court are dead. Including Prince Endymion." Enemies swarmed towards the older women and they defended themselves.

"We wont allow the enemy to gain control of the Moon Kingdom." Uranus stopped talking. They knew what they had to do. Sailor Saturn had to be called forth. Pluto attacked a dozen enemies with her Dead Scream. There was no way they could call forth the Senshi of Destruction while they were being attacked. Suddenly a bright light appeared coming from the Moon Palace, enemies were thrown out of the way and a path was made towards the warriors.

"Serenity-sama!" Queen Serenity held the crystal above her head. In the blink of an eye Serenity was thrown to the ground. She had been attacked by Queen Metalica.

"SERENITY!!!" Uranus, Neptune and Pluto screamed and ran to their Queen but they were stopped by a barrier. The Ginzuishou floated above their heads forming a dome around them. No words were needed. The Garnet Orb, Aqua Mirror and Space Sword glowed and they held the talismans above their heads. The Ginzuishou flew to its owner and blasted Queen Metalica.

A ball of purple appeared above the remaining warriors. In the ball curled up was the Senshi of Destruction. She opened her deep purple eyes and looked at those around her. There was silence. A long glaive appeared in her hand "Death, Reborn Revolution." Purple ribbons streamed around Saturn and engulfed the outer senshi. Queen Serenity watched the death of her remaining warriors as her own life force left her.

"Serenity" Pluto shouted "Arigato." The queen smiled and walked away. "I will stay on the Moon and wait for the rebirth of everyone." Serenity vanished and so did the warriors.

Haruka woke up with agasp. There in front of her was her Space Sword. The dream or rather memory was still fresh in her mind. Michiru ran into the blondes room followed by Setsuna, they were both carrying their talismans.

"Did you dream of the…"

"end of the Moon Kingdom?"

"And Saturn?." They each looked at each other

"We can't allow that too happen again. The enemy must not win." Setsuna spoke.

"Haruka?" Haruka looked at Michiru as they walked down the corridors of their school. "Were we the ones who destroyed the Moon Kingdom? After all the three of us were united and our talismans called forth Sailor Saturn…"

Haruka thought before answering "Michiru that was the past. When our talismans were joined in this life, the Holy Grail was formed. Remember. Now we have to give the grail to the Messiah" Michiru frowned slightly, they were coming to the end of the corridor where the schools basement was. It was off limits to students. A voice was heard shouting. The two women looked at each other, it was Ami Mizuno. Students grabbed hold of Haruka and Michiru, a large crowd formed around them so they did the only thing that they could and fought there way out of their grasp.

"Mercury Star Power Make Up!"

"Baka" Haruka spoke. The girl had given away her identity. Haruka grabbed Michiru's hand and pulled her past the students. The students were possessed, there eyes showed nothing. Both women recognised the students as classmates and there were new faces amongst them.

"Do not transform." Haruka whispered into Michiru's ear as Michiru reached for her henshi stick. Instead Haruka picked up Michiru from the ground and jumped from the third story window. They flew for a few minutes before landing safely. Haruka placed Michiru on the ground and they fled the scene.

"Chiba Mamoru or should we say Prince Endymion." Uranus stood looking at Tuxedo Kamen as he changed into his armour. Pluto and Neptune stood beside her.

"Uranus, Neptune Pluto. Why are you here?" the Prince asked. The outer senshi walked towards him.

"We asked you here to tell you to pass on a message. Tell the other senshi to stay away from our mission and us."

"But Sailor Moon and the other girls can help you. If we worked as a team." Neptune cut him off.

"Prince Endymion we can not work as a team. We are too different. They could never do what we have to do."

"But you are all senshi."

Pluto stepped forward "We are protectors of the outer realms. Our job is to protect the Princess from outsiders. We were awakened too late to stop the invaders, but we will stop them alone."

"We are stronger than them and were given greater powers. We spent the past in solitude; we will do the same now. Tell the others to stay away. The past will not repeat itself. I will not allow it." Uranus turned and the three women left.

The Tomoe residence was not far from the school so the women walked. As it would be dangerous if they were caught as senshi they were in their civilian clothes. Haruka scanned the area and found the perfect spot that they could watch the house from, it was a cherry blossom tree. Michiru tensed slightly as the front door opened and a pink haired girl ran out. They recognised her as Chibi-Usa. Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna were silent as they watched the house, a light caught their attention. It was from the ground floor window, they jumped down from the tree and approached the room. A little girl was attached to machines. The dark haired child, no other than Hotaru looked at the three women and they saw she was part machine, a cyborg.

Michiru's sight wavered and she saw an older woman in Hotarus place. She wore a long purple dress and her hair was never ending. Her eyes showed pure evil. Michiru remembered that this was the woman who strangled Haruka in her dreams all those months ago.

When Setsuna looked at Hotaru, Sailor Saturn looked back at her. She remembered the words of Saturn when she had appeared in the apartment "I have not been awakened yet but if I do, the world will end." Haruka looked at the girl and saw her just as she was; a young girl. An unwell girl, a girl who was lonely. Haruka felt sorry for her, she had a hard life.

And now they were going to kill her.
