The whole room was still as everyone watched Andi flee. Fred and Chris followed her out to try and catch up with her, and then all eyes turned to Rei. Ami and Lita made their way over. "Was that really necessary, Rei?" said Ami.

"Yeah, what happened?" asked Serena as she and Darien joined them, followed by Mina.

Rei shrugged. "What do you want from me? It was an accident!"

"Right," said Darien, "and Serena's punctual!"

"Hey!" cried Serena and Rei in unison.

"Look," said Rei, "I was trying to be nice, okay? I just sl—" Rei suddenly froze, staring straight ahead, wide-eyed. A chill ran up her spine, and she winced at the unpleasant sensation.

"Rei? What's wrong?" asked Lita worriedly.

"Something's wrong. . . I can feel it. . . Something really bad is happening!"

They all glanced around nervously to make sure no one else was close enough to overhear. Once they were satisfied, they turned back to each other and lowered their voices nonetheless.

"Scout stuff?" whispered Mina. Rei nodded her head in affirmation.

"Let's find someplace more private to transform then." Everyone agreed with Darien and they all hurried out of the gym and ducked into their respective restrooms.

"Ready? Let's go! VENUS STAR POWER!"

"JUPITER STAR POWER!"

"MERCURY STAR POWER!"

"MARS STAR POWER!"

"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!"

And thus, cool music played as they all changed their clothes and struck really awkward-looking poses.

"Come on!" said Sailor Mars (Rei, for those of you who don't watch the show), "I'll lead you!" And she took off at a run, with the other scouts trailing behind her. She rounded a corner onto a normally busy street when suddenly she stopped dead in her tracks, causing the others to run into one another. But they all gasped at what they saw.

"Holy shit! What happened?" cried Sailor Jupiter (Lita).

"I don't like this. . ." added Mercury (Ami).

Everything was completely still except for the occasional flickering of a broken neon light or two. Everyone lay sprawled out on the ground, not moving an inch. Sailor Venus (Mina) ran to someone and gently lifted his head. "Who did this to you? What happened?"

But there was no response. He was out cold. "Their energy has been drained," said Luna, running up to the group with Artemis in tow.

"But who could have done this?" said Sailor Moon (Serena) looking out at the devastation.

"Whoever it was, it looks like they're long gone by now. . . " Artemis said, glancing around.

"Don't bet on it," said Tuxedo Mask (Darien), pointing at a silhouetted figure heading their way.
