Notes: Sorry it's taken me so long to update this. Life just got wicked busy. But here is more.Also, for some reason, I can't put breaks between the scenes, so you'll just have to figure it out when it comes to a break. Sorry. :(

Disclaimer: I haven't done one of these for this story since chapter 2, so I thought I'd put one in. I don't own Star Wars or Sailor Moon, though I wish I did. Unfortunately, I don't and I must live with that. :(

Anyway, on with the story! Enjoy!

Michiru looked at Ami, unsure of how to answer the question she had just received.

"We really should wait for Setsuna." She said. She knew this could be Hotaru's only chance, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to risk encountering another enemy.

"The way I see it," Minako said, "We need to do it. If we don't accept this offer Hotaru will very likely die. If we do, she lives and we can bring here back here as soon as she recovers. It should only take a few days because of her healing ability, but, as you all know, she must be conscious to use it."

"I agree with Minako." Ami said. Haruka was still sleeping and therefore could not participate in this discussion. They didn't wake her because they knew she would never go back to sleep. "I wish Setsuna were here."

"I think we should do it." Michiru. "Minako, you go with them, Ami, Haruka and I will stay with Usagi and protect her if she needs it, you just make sure they don't try anything fishy."

"Alright." Minako said.

Michiru sighed, "Haruka won't be happy about this, but it was our only option."

The girls all nodded and Ami went to Obi Wan Kenobi to inform him of their decision.

Hotaru was gently carried onto the small ship that was to transfer her to a larger ship with a medical facility. The Jedi master was very careful as he set her down on a bench in the cockpit (Very small ship). He planned on staying with the rest of the girls to help provide protection and demonstrate that his intentions were pure. He also had many questions for this small group and was hoping to be around when this Setsuna person contacted them. His instructions to his Padawan were simple. Fly fast but carefully.

As the shuttle took off, carrying its three passengers, Michiru said a small prayer for her adopted daughter. She was terrified of what may happen to her, but she knew that Minako would be able to protect her if the need arose. When the craft was out of site everyone went back into the house and Michiru made her way to the kitchen to make lunch.

Minako sat by the bench that Hotaru was lying on and held her friend's hand. She knew that Hotaru needed help and wished that she could do something, but she was helpless. She hated seeing her friends so vulnerable.

Anakin sat in the pilot's seat and maneuvered the ship brilliantly. Minako was not expecting there to be any space travel where they were going, and she also did not expect that she would be crammed into a small shuttle with an incredibly cute guy. Trying to get her mind off of everything she couldn't do for Hotaru, she decided to try and make small talk with the Jedi.

"So," she started, unsure of what to say to 'break the ice', "Where are you from?"

Anakin looked at the girl and then forward again. "I am from a planet called Tatooine." He told her, not too happy that she brought it up. Just the thought of his home planet brought memories of his mother that he wished to suppress.

"I see." She said. "I'm from a planet called Earth." She told him, and then corrected herself. "Well, actually, technically I'm from Venus, but the body I have right now is from Earth. The Kingdom on Venus no longer exists."

"Really?" he asked, curiously. "What happened to it?"

"A long time ago there was a great battle in our system. Nine of the ten Kingdoms were destroyed. Earth is the only one that remained intact, and only because the woman who destroyed the other Kingdoms was in love with the Prince of Earth, Endymion. However, he loved another, which is one of the reasons the war was started. One thing led to another and I, and the other senshi who were protecting our princess were killed, as well as the princess and Endymion. The queen used her remaining power to reincarnate us in the future and we defeated our enemy."

"Oh," the young man said, saddened by the tragic story. "What do you do now that your enemy is defeated?"

"Oh, we fight new enemies. They pop up here and there, all with the same goal of taking over the universe. It seems, though, that every time a new enemy arises we just get stronger, although this time seems more hopeless." Minako lowered her eyes, a worried expression coming over her face. She didn't want to say anything in front of the other senshi, but she feared the worst.

"Why is this time different? What is the enemy after?" Anakin asked concerned.

Minako hesitated. "They're after Usagi." She said, but corrected herself. "Actually, all we know is that they want to kill Usagi, and they will succeed unless Setsuna tells us otherwise. That's why we came here, to hide the Prin-" Minako stopped herself. "I'm sorry, I've said too much."

"No, no, don't worry about it. Did you refer to Usagi as the Princess?" Anakin asked.

"I really shouldn't be talking about this. The problem though, is that they have apparently found out hideout and I am sure they have more Youma that they can send. I'm worried that with Hotaru and I not being there our defenses are too vulnerable."

"You don't have to worry about a thing. Obi Wan will take care of them." Anakin reassured the Soldier of Love.

Minako sighed and looked at Hotaru, tears welling up in her eyes as she saw the battered body of her friend.

"They are obviously stronger than we first believed." The powerful man on the throne said to another man who was with him. "I sent my two strongest Youma and they were defeated. I will go myself, but not to the Princess."

"Sir?" the man asked perplexed.

"There is someone else I must speak with. She will be able to approach the Princess without raising any alarms." The man said and disappeared.

"Mamoru!" Setsuna exclaimed over the telephone. "I've found a way to make contact. Hurry to my apartment." The excited woman didn't give the man a chance to respond, but hung up the phone. She sat down on her couch and looked at two cats who were sitting on her coffee table.

"I do hope Usagi and the others are alright." The black cat said.

"Don't worry about it. They can handle themselves." The white cat said.

"How are we going to tell Usagi about…" Setsuna trailed off. She was not looking forward to that part of their communication, but she knew she couldn't hide the truth from her Princess.

A few minutes later the remaining senshi and Mamoru entered the small apartment. Makoto and Rei sat on the couch with the cats while Setsuna and Mamoru sat on the smaller sofa together.

"I've managed to set up a way to communicate with the girls and they will be able to see all of us. I'll save the news for Usagi for the end." She said and initiated the call.

Michiru, Haruka, Ami and Obi Wan Kenobi sat around a table and ate the meal that Michiru had prepared. Haruka woke up shortly after Hotaru and Minako left and was infuriated. Luckily she didn't break anything and just remained silent through the meal, the whole time Michiru was trying to defend their decision.

Suddenly, Ami's watch began to beep loudly. Obi Wan was startled and jumped up, pulling out his lightsaber in the process. When he saw that there was nothing to worry about, he saw down again.

"It's Setsuna." Ami said and took her watch off, setting it in the center of the table and pressing a button so everyone could see the 3D image that appeared on the face. The Soldier of Pluto accompanied by the Soldiers of Earth, Jupiter and Mars, as well as the two Moon Cats, sat in a circle. Setsuna began to speak.

"I am glad to see you all," she said to the senshi and noticed the man sitting with them. "Who is this with you?"

"Setsuna, this is Master Obi Wan Kenobi. He and his apprentice found us here and helped us out." Ami explained. Setsuna didn't seem too sure about him, but continued.

"I would like to hold a meeting, so, Master Obi wan, if you wouldn't mind leaving the room, and Michiru, if you would get Hotaru, Usagi, and Minako I would greatly appreciate it."

Haruka, who had been glaring at the Jedi the whole time finally spoke up. "Usagi is unconscious in her bed and Hotaru and Minako are not here." She told the older woman, anger apparent in her voice. Setsuna was surprised by this statement.

"Well, you can wake Usagi up, can't you? And where is Hotaru?"

Ami leaned forward. "Setsuna, a lot has happened in the 30 hours that we have been here."

Obi Wan remained seated throughout the whole story of the attack and everything afterwards and when Ami finished Setsuna sighed.

"It is worse than I had expected." She said. She now had a little more trust for the Jedi, but was still cautious of him. She was glad that Minako went with the apprentice and Hotaru.

"Are you still having the visions?" Michiru asked.

Setsuna nodded. "They are becoming more and more vivid every night. I've determined that our assassin is female, and appears human, though that doesn't mean she is either. For all we know, she could be a shape-shifting Youma." Setsuna's eyes moved to the Jedi but she didn't share her suspicions.

"I'm going to send Makoto and Rei to assist you while Hotaru and Minako are away." The Guardian of Time concluded. "I'll try to contact Minako when we are finished here. But there is something else I must tell you." Setsuna's voice became somber.

"What is it?" Michiru asked sensing Setsuna's emotions.

"Because of the time difference between here and where you are, this happened last week, but-" Setsuna's voice cracked. Mamoru put a hand on her shoulder.

"What happened, Pluto." Haruka demanded, know that something bad had happened.

"Last week a Youma came looking for Usagi. It went to her house and…" Setsuna choked back her tears, "Tsukino Kenji refused to tell the Youma where she was. He died, protecting his daughter." There was a silence. No one knew what to say. "The funeral was last Tuesday. Usagi's family has been trying to contact her where they believe she is, but they are getting worried because they can't, especially since they knew the Youma was looking for her."

Both Michiru and Ami had tears in their eyes and Haruka slammed her fist on the table. She got up and stormed out of the room, cursing and punching any walls and doors that got in her way.

Notes: So, what did you think? Sorry that chapter wasn't as long as the last one, I just wanted to post it and thought that this was a good place to end it. Please review!
