"We're not safe here," Miranda complained to her younger sisters. "Those sailor senshi are concentrated heavily here!"
"Just because you had a bad brush with them back at that airport doesn't mean anything," said the more childish-looking of the twin girls.
"The sailor senshi also destroyed Isical," the more mature-looking one said. "They aren't to be underestimated."
"Of course!" Miranda said.
"Umbriel is right," the first one said, "But we needn't fear them."
"Dear Miranda has another view, dear Ariel," Umbriel said. "Perhaps we should get our own view?"
"We'll attack today!" Ariel said, raising her fist into the air. "Let's see those senshi get the better of us!"
Umbriel chuckled at her sister's enthusiasm as she turned back to their target. "I believe they will take a liking to a frozen garden," she said, gazing at the floral shop.
Inside a cozy flower shop near Tokyo Tower, a family worked hard to take care of the treasured blossoms. "It simply doesn't make any sense," Kigino Hana said as she brushed her finger against the delicate and wilting bouquet of calla lilies. "We've been taking care of them so well this year!"
"Obviously someone wants them to die," Hana's mother said. Kigino Makoto stepped around the bouquet and looked through another. "Every night I adjust the temperature to just above normal for these flowers and yet every morning, the temperature in here is horribly cold."
"We've already determined that there is nothing wrong with the thermostat or the furnace," Makoto's husband, Shinkou, said as he looked over accounting with his eldest daughter. Tenka was too busy making calculations to care about the flowers at the moment.
"We ought to close for the winter," she said finally, closing the book. "At this rate, we'll lose over half of our flowers and buds. If we close until the winter is over, we can take the plants home and take care of them there. That way we ensure that they are healthy for spring."
"Then what will we do for money?" Makoto asked her daughter. "This is our soul source of income."
"The winter is slow anyways," Shinkou said, somewhat sadly. "Perhaps we ought to close and take care of the plants at home."
Makoto sighed and sat with her husband and eldest, discussing other possibilities. Hana, on the other hand, continued to walk from flower to flower, looking each over and touching their petals delicately. "Then it is settled," Makoto said. "Tenka, you and Hana will go home and prepare the house for the plants. We will stay here and prepare the flowers to move."
"Can't I stay here?" Hana asked.
"Yes, can she?" Tenka asked. "It would go more smoothly with just me there. It would be better if she helped you with the flowers." Makoto looked to her husband. He nodded and Tenka stood. "All right, I shall call when I am ready at home." She slipped on her shoes and coat and gathered her school bag and books. She was out of the shop in moments. Makoto and Shinkou wasted no time getting the flowers ready. They wrapped the sturdier ones in plastic and put the delicate and weak ones in boxes. Hana went about closing up the shop. As she went to lock the door, she saw Chiba Usagi and Kousagi walking up to the shop.
Hana opened the door and hung out of it. "Are you coming in here?" she asked them. They nodded and hurried into the shop.
"It has gotten colder since we left home," Kousagi said. "I wish poppa didn't have the car."
"Oh, don't complain," Usagi said somewhat hurriedly. "Mako-chan, could you spare a moment?"
"Sure," Makoto said, tying off one of the plastic-covered bushes. The two of them disappeared into the back room.
"What is that about?" Hana asked Kousagi. Kousagi wasn't listening. Instead, she was looking at the flowers.
"What is wrong with your flowers?" she asked. "Why are you putting them in boxes and plastic?"
"They aren't doing well here," Shinkou answered. "We are taking them home to take care of them until spring."
"So, you're closing?" Kousagi asked. Shinkou nodded.
"Only for the winter," Hana said. She returned to the front windows and started to pull down one of the shades. She pulled on the chord, and jumped back as the whole shade fell. "I'll fix it," Hana said as she bent down.
"I can fix it!" Kousagi shouted as she dived under the table. She grabbed the shade and stood up, her head hitting the table. "Ouch!" she shouted. One of the flower vases tipped over. Hana dived and caught it, landing on the floor roughly.
"I caught it father!" Hana said triumphantly. Suddenly the windows blasted inward, showering glass everywhere. Following the glass was ice that encased everything. Kousagi, clutching the shade, rolled away from the growing ice. Hana, still holding the vase, crawled away at a similar pace. They were soon cornered, but to their luck it stopped mere inches from their feet.
"A beautiful frozen garden," said a matured voice.
"It certainly is!" said a less matured voice. "It reminds me of the gardens of Mercury."
Kousagi and Hana stayed still in their corner as two white-haired teenagers hovered into the shop. One was wearing what appeared to be a skirt-less, bow-less senshi uniform with white pointed knee-boots and navy blue net tights. The other was barefooted and wore a strange body suit in the same blues as the other. Both girls had long white hair in ponytails at the base of their necks and wore matching tiaras. The sailor senshi look-a-like hovered to the frozen statue that had been Kigino Shinkou. Hana would feel herself go pale at the sight of her father. She began to worry about her mother and Chiba-san in the back room.
"I see one here," said the senshi-like twin in the matured voice. "I heard female voices in here.
The other twin looked around from left to right, her eyes resting on Kousagi and Hana. "I spy with my little eyes a pair of frightened girls my size," the girl said in a childish voice. The first hovered over to the second, who hovered closer to the Kousagi and Hana.
"It seems they were rather evasive," the first said.
"They won't be this time," the second said, lifting her palm to the cornered girls. A white glow surrounded the hand, but it didn't get far.
"Stop right there!" shouted a pair of familiar voices. All four girls turned to the counter where Kigino-san was frozen. On either side of him stood a single sailor senshi. They were easily recognized as Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter, respectively.
"A pair of sailor senshi," the first twin said in an unamused tone.
"How predictable," the second said in a similar tone.
"Who are you?" Sailor Moon asked in a demanding voice.
"Why, I am Umbriel," the first twin said, "the first twin of Uranus."
"I am Ariel," the second said, "the second of the twins of Uranus. Might we know who you are?"
"I am Sailor Moon!" Sailor Moon said.
"I am Sailor Jupiter!" Sailor Jupiter said.
"We are the champions of love and justice," they said in unison, "And in the name of the moon, we shall punish you!" They both did their individual poses. The twins laughed.
"Punish us?" Umbriel asked.
"What for?" Ariel asked.
"For freezing my father," Hana said, "And for attacking our shop!"
"Is that so?" Ariel asked. "You have quite the mouth." She held up her hand again, but Kousagi stood and stepped in front of Hana.
"Go ahead and try!" Kousagi shouted, holding the shade in her hands like a sword.
"Moon Tiara Action!" Sailor Moon shouted, sending her tiara at the twins in the form of a disc.
"Supreme Thunder!" Jupiter shouted, charging the tiara with lightning. The combined attack struck both girls, shoving them into the wall. Hana jumped up and ran with Kousagi toward the senshi, vase still in hand. The two girls were grabbed by the collars of their shirts by Sailor Jupiter and were set behind the counter. "Stay down!" Jupiter told them. The two girls got down just enough so that they could still see over the counter top. Moon and Jupiter jumped off the counter as the twins levitated to their feet.
"We are in no mood for games," Umbriel said. "Rather, we shall let our dear friend play for a while."
"That is a wonderful idea!" Ariel said. "He did enjoy freezing the street and shop. Playing with the little sailor senshi should amuse him very much."
"They aren't very little," Umbriel said. "They seem rather old."
"What did you say?" Jupiter shouted. "Oak Evolution!" The green flower petals flew at the twins, but froze on their way. They fell to the floor with soft clinks. A snowy monster stepped through the broken window, narrowly missing two tables covered in frozen flower bouquets. It seemed to be a tall white bear with claws like eagles and eyes like a tiger. He stood tall enough for its head to touch the ceiling.
"This is Frozie," Umbriel said.
"He is out precious pet!" Ariel said, levitating up and hugging around its neck. "He is also our best assassin, taking brute force over stealth. Have fun." A tunnel of snow was whipped up. The twins disappeared into it. The beast roared and from its paws came white beams. The beams hit the Sailor Moon, freezing her flat to the counter. Sailor Jupiter's shoulder had been caught. It froze instantly.
Jupiter ran forward and jumped over the tables, yelling, "Supreme Thunder!" A great lightning bolt slammed into the monster's underbelly, throwing it out into the empty street. Jupiter turned back to the counter, where Kousagi was beating the window shade on the ice.
"Take it down!" Sailor Moon shouted. "I'll join you in a moment!" Jupiter nodded and leapt into the street.
"Are you my momma?" Kousagi asked Sailor Moon.
"Yes," she replied, "But it is our secret. Girls, help me out of here."
"We will!" Hana said, beating a frozen watering can on the ice. "You have to help my mother!"
The beast called Frozie roared angrily. It pointed its claw at Jupiter and shot another beam. She jumped aside; it missed her, freezing a tree instead. "Oak Evolution!" Jupiter shouted, sending the attack. The attack was frozen in midair like before and dropped into the snow. Frozie growled in a way that it sounded like a low chuckle. "You haven't won yet!" Jupiter shouted as she crossed her arms. "Supreme Thunder!" The lightning attack flew at Frozie, but it bounced off of him. "What the Hell-" Frozie sent another ice beam at Jupiter. She didn't move quickly enough and would have been frozen had a wall of water not come in front of her. The wall turned to ice. "Sailor Neptune!" Jupiter shouted happily. She turned around and expected to see the beautiful senshi. However, she saw, instead, the senshi from the television.
"We're here to help," the blue-haired senshi said. Beside her was the knight who had held her. On her other side was a senshi that could pass as the match to the knight.
"Who are you?" Jupiter asked.
"We'll let you know later, Kigino-san," the knight said. "Wind!" he shouted, clapping his arms together as the ice wall began to crack. "Call!" he shouted. Gold and white bands appeared around his arms. The ice wall shattered. "Strike!" the knight shouted, pulling his arms apart. The broken bands of light drifted into the air before flying at the snowy beast, stabbing themselves into it. The broken shards of light exploded all over Frozie. It roared into the air, sending his ice beams all over. One of the beams struck Jupiter, sending her into the shop and freezing her to the back wall.
Kousagi and Hana had ducked out of the way, but one of Kousagi's thick pink tails of hair was frozen to the wall with Jupiter. She squealed uncontrollably. "Kousagi-chan, enough!" Hana shouted, stopping her ears. The muffled squealing stopped almost instantly, giving Hana a chance to unplug her ears. As she did, Kousagi began squealing again, but this time in joy. She was jumping up and down, pointing outside where two more senshi stood in the gapping hole of the shop.
"It's Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Saturn!" Kousagi squealed. The two senshi stood in the hole, facing the two frozen senshi and the two defenseless girls. Despite the fight going on behind them, the two of them didn't turn around to give aid to the struggling warriors.
From the roof of the flower shop, Sailor Pluto shouted, "Neo Sailor Uranus and Neptune! Uranus Knight! Keep the monster at bay!" The two senshi and the knight nodded and lunged at the Frozie, striking him at every waking moment. Pluto jumped from the roof and landed beside Chibi Moon and Saturn. "Chibi Moon, Saturn, help them," Pluto said. Chibi Moon and Saturn nodded and ran out into the frozen street. Pluto walked into the shop, taking care to not damage any of the frozen plants. "Sailor Moon, Sailor Jupiter," Pluto began, "The time has come to pass-on your powers to a new generation." She looked at Kousagi and Hana with a sad smile.
"Wouldn't my powers go to Chibi Usa, though?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Chibi Usa?" Kousagi asked. "But, isn't that my sister out there with Hotaru-san?"
"Very good," Pluto said. "You are very quick to catch on. You must have inherited it from your father." Sailor Moon opened her mouth to protest, but was cut off. "The powers of Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon are two individual strengths from the power of the Imperium Silver Crystal. They are separate and therefore have the ability to be handed down on their own. Sailor Moon, Kousagi must have your powers!"
"Me, a sailor senshi?" Kousagi asked. Pluto nodded. Sailor Moon nodded as well.
"Jupiter, the same must be done for you," Pluto said.
"But Tenka is not here!" Juptier said. "What good would that do?"
"Tenka is not meant for your powers," Pluto said. A look of realization came over Juptier's face. She bowed her head in acceptance. Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter were surrounded in bright glows of white and green, respectively. Kousagi and Hana were surrounded in similar glows, both corresponding to their mothers.
"Moon Neo Power, Make-Up!"
"Jupiter Neo Power, Make-Up!"
Frozie was practically backed into a corner, received blow after blow from the four senshi and knight. It seemed as though they would win without further help, but as Sailor Chibi Moon set her wand to attack with "Pink Sugar Heart Attack," her uniform began to fade.
"Chibi Usa!" Saturn cried. The senshi and knight turned to Chibi Moon, giving Frozie just enough time to strike them with his ice beams. The four of them were frozen in place.
Chibi Moon's uniform suddenly burst into ribbons, returning to her grey college uniform. The ribbons flew into the air and twisted together. "Chibi Usa!" shouted a masked senshi from the hole in the shop. "Sailor Pluto, why is she losing her powers?" The ribbons compressed and suddenly exploded. In place of the ribbons with a long, thin, pink rod with a white orb on top of it. It was flanked by a pair of white wings. The staff floated down to the hands of the pink-haired senshi who stood next to a red-haired version of Sailor Jupiter. The staff glowed white, a small portion of the glow leaving the rest and turning green. The glow went into the hands of the Jupiter look-alike and turned into a thin pink staff with a green orb atop it, flanked with green-tinted wings. The senshi looked at each other and ran into the snow.
The green-skirted senshi lifted the staff into the air as an antenna rose from her tiara. "Jupiter Thunder Crush!" Lightning connected between the staff and antenna. It then disconnected and became a ball of green lightning that flew at Frozie, striking his chest. It left a burns mark twice as large as the ball and was very deep. "Neo Moon," the girl said, "Finish it!" The pink-haired girl called Neo Moon nodded and lifted her staff.
"Moon!" she shouted, spinning once on her left heel. "Everlasting!" she shouted as she stopped. "Twilight!" she shouted as she swung the staff up. The white orb glowed in white and green. The wings seemed to fly off of it and toward the monster. The "wings" wrapped around it and exploded, leaving nothing behind. "Yay!" Neo Moon shouted, jumping up and down. The ice around the senshi and knight melted away. Saturn rushed over to Chibi Usa, but she was already on her feet.
"Kousagi?" Chibi Usa asked. "Is that you?" Neo Moon looked over and nodded.
"I'm Neo Sailor Moon!" Kousagi said happily as her uniform disappeared.
"I'm Neo Sailor Jupiter," Hana said as her uniform disappeared. Everyone turned to the shop as Usagi and Makoto stepped out. They ran to their daughters.
Usagi grabbed both Chibi Usa and Kousagi in a deadly hug. Makoto practically lifted Hana into the air. "I'm sorry you're in this, Kousagi," Usagi said. Then she pulled away and looked at Chibi Usa. "Why did you lose your powers?"
"Could someone tell me what's going on, first?" Chibi Usa asked.
