They stopped, everyone looked at the clock as they count down the seconds to midnight.

"TEN,

NINE,

EIGHT,

SEVEN,

SIX,

FIVE,

FOUR,

THREE,

TWO…..!"

There was screaming as the palace shook and quivered. People started to panic and the senshi took up their positions.

"This way folks, in here where it's safer!" Rei and Hotaru directed them to a safe place.

"Everyone! Transform!!" Serenity orders.

"Mars Crystal Power!"

"Jupiter Crystal power!"

"Mercury Crystal Power!"

"Uranus Crystal Power!"

"Saturn Crystal Power!"

"Terra Power!"

"Pink Moon Crystal Power!"

"Venus Crystal Power"

"Neptune Crystal Power"

"Pluto Crystal Power!"

"MAKE UP!"

They set off running towards the front of the palace while Mercury shouted out information to them. "It's a big one this time everyone. We have to stay on guard!"

They all stopped just outside the barrier, watching different directions.

"Where is it Ames?" Jupiter asked before begin blown back into the force field and slumping to the ground. "That…hurt…" She got up.

"Are you ok, Jupiter?" Venus asked her back to the woman while looking for the monster.

"I've locked on to it! He's there!" Mercury shouts and attacks it, "Aqua Rhapsody!"

The monster screams but shook it off a bit, its disguise removed. It was a giant shadow demon, but this one had a shape. It's long arms were nearly dragging on the ground, it's face a bit pointed and eyes glowing blood red as it hissed at the Senshi.

"EWWW!!!" Neo Moon said, "That is UGLY!!"

"Nah, I think it's adorable…" Neo Terra said sarcastically, "Think Daddy would let us keep it?"

Neo Moon glared at her, "You don't have to be sarcastic."

"Look out!" Uranus pushed Neo moon out of the way just as the demon made a grab for her, causing the senshi to scatter.

"URANUS?!" Neo Moon watched as the senshi of the wind was lifted and dropped down like a sack of potatoes to the ground.

A few of the senshi went to check on her while the few that were left stared defiantly at the creature.

"Get her to the palace!" Pluto shouts as she began the attack on the Shadow demon. "Pluto Deadly Scream!"

The monster shrieks and thrashed his tail at the palace shields as a testimony to his fury.

"Water Phoenix!" Neo Terra jumps up and attacks. "Hurry you guys!" she calls to the others.

Neptune and Mars grabbed Uranus and quickly departed from the scene. "You guys be careful!" Mars shouts before disappearing into the shield.

"AHHH!!!" Jupiter and Venus smashed to the ground as the others attacked the Monster.

"We can do it!" Neo Moon shouts. "The Planet attack!"

"Alright!" The Inners shouts as Mars and Neptune enjoined them.

"Mars Crystal Power!"

"Jupiter Crystal Power!"

"Mercury Crystal Power"

"Venus Crystal Power!"

"Pink Moon Crystal Power!"

"Pluto Crystal Power!"

"Saturn Crystal Power!"

"Neptune Crystal Power!"

"Earth Power!"

"Sailor Planet Attack!"

The Monster screams as the power hits it and falls to the ground, flickering before it winked out of existence. But where the monster once stood, a lady appears.

She had light green hair and golden eyes; she wore a tight black dress.

"Well, well, you finally defeated Kuroakuma." She smirks at them holding her hand up to show them she had Sailor Uranus's Crystal. "But you will never stop us."

Neo Moon glared at her, "What do you want from us?!" She yells, " Who ARE you!"

The lady smirked, "I'm Lady Avon." She announced, "And it should be obvious to what I want, but if you haven't figured it out, then I won't tell you." She laughs and phases away.

"Damn!" Jupiter curses as they headed back in, "what are we going to do?"

"I know," Venus, sighs, "we have two enemies, Jamil and that lady."

Saturn looked thoughtful, "Could it be that they are working together?"

"But to accomplish what?" Pluto mutters, "What are they after and why?"

"Looks like we'll have to have a Senshi meeting." Neo moon says before letting her transformation go and turns to Elysion, who also let hers go. "You're coming, aren't you?

Elysion shook her head, "I doubt I would be much help." She looked forward and walked towards Helios and Terran, still in his human form, waiting on them. "But," she stops and glances at the others, "if I find out anything, I'll be sure to tell you." With that said, she went on her way, her mind filled with thoughts on the enemy as she and her companions headed towards the door.

Neo-Queen Serenity watched the young woman leave with a small frown on her face. She gave everyone else a reassuring smile before leaving herself, telling them she was going to do something and would be right back. Secretly, she pulled out her morphing pen from back in the days when she was Sailor Moon herself. She held it high, when she thought no one was around, and shouted, "Moon Power! Transform me into a palace Maid!"

Her royal attire vanished and was replaced by a French looking maids uniform. Her hair no longer in it's royal hair style, but in a French bun and a little maid's hat. She wore black pumps to complete her outfit.

She smiled at herself and hurried to catch up with where Elysion and the others were heading. ' I have to know. What is she doing!?'

She stopped, noticing she had never been here before and that it was well passed the winery and the basement. 'Why is this so far down?' She wonders, watching as Elysion opens the door. 'What is behind that door that no one is suppose to know about it?'

She leads forward as the door opens and light shines through it, and even where she stood, she could feel the breeze. 'Is….is that….?!?'

Elysion grins as she walks in, "It's feels great to be back….in Elysion." She says, "I can't wait to get back in my other clothes."

Helios laughs as he and Terran walked in after him.

Serenity turns around, "There's a door to Elysian." She looks up, "Why is Elysion going there? What is she doing there?" She bit her lower lip. 'I have to figure this out…what is that girl up to?'

Else where

"Sir," Lady Avon bows and presents the crystal, "The Wind crystal has been taken."

He smirked. "Good work, Lily." He takes it and goes to a machine and puts it in there.

"We need more!" He stares at the machine, "In order to complete this mission, we must have all of the crystals!" He whirls around, "As soon as we have all the crystals, my dear sister will help us awaken our goddess! AND SHE SHALL RULE THIS PATHITEC UNIVERSE!!!"

In another room, Kritra strained hard to hear what is being said. She didn't really hear much, but she did her about the crystals. She sat back and thought for a while. She had to tell someone, but who?

Back on earth

Elysion stretched out on a sun-warmed patch of grass staring at the sky, drifting to a light sleep. She curled up, wondering a little how her mother was doing. She missed her a lot.

'Wonder what she's doing now? Is she ok? Does she miss me?'

Before she sunk too deep in her misery and homesickness, Elysion heard someone call to her.

"Elysion! It's time for that….test!" Terran walks towards her and stops, waiting. "Come along now."

She nods and follows him back to the door and to the infirmary, where the test was to be conducted.

"Sit here and open your mouth." Ami told the girl, who obeyed and opened her mouth.

Elysion allowed Ami to swab her mouth and take a little blood, after all, it seemed small compared to the party they gave her. She sighs again, thinking about her mother.

It was so noticeable and her expression, which she hadn't learned to school into cool blankness, was slightly pained.

Endymion looked over at her as Ami took some of his blood. "Elysion," He spoke, "what is the matter? Does this pain you so much, to learn the truth?"

She shook her head, "I know the truth….it's just…" She looked at him, "I miss my Mama."

He smiles a little at her and nods, "I know you do, especially with all that has happened." Watches as Ami put the samples into the computer then started typing up the new data she had submitted to the data bank.

The others waited outside, holding their breath as the trio walks out the lab. Elysion's face was unreadable; Endymion's looked like he was in deep thought, his eyes sort of haunted.

Ami, clears her throat, "The results of the DNA test are just in." She looks at each one of them before continuing, "Endymion Mamoru Chiba, you are……"

An: Don't you feel the Jerry Spinger/ Maury/Some talk show feeling?
