Chapter 13

Disclaimer: Blah blah blah usual stuff I don't own Sailor Moon etc.

Author Notes:

Thienmong: It's been about 10-12 years since they defeated Galaxia I would like to think that all of the senshi have grown and matured. In Haruka's case she's learned a bit from her mistakes ad isn't so hot headed though she has her moments.

Auraluna: What did poor Ami-chan ever do to you? Lol no promises on killing her.

Amnesia Nymph: Ya know I have a good bet you're right about Haruka needing her henshin stick in the near future.

(In the Car on the way to Ami's apartment)

Haruka drove much to Michiru's displeasure she would have rather have Haruka stay at home without her henshin stick she was powerless though on the plus side Haruka was a fast driver hell she raced cars for a living. Michiyo and Hotaru sat in the back seat of the car the latter having just come home from school before they left. She had got in the car not really knowing what was going on until Michiyo brought her up to date. Michiru sat with her cell phone in hand dialing Ami's phone number. "Damn it Ami-chan pick up!" Michiru said.

"Moshi Moshi you've reached the Urawa residence we aren't here please leave a message at the tone." The answering machine chirped.

"Ami-chan its Michiru pick up right now. Please Ami-chan pick up. Haruko and Kimi are on their way to you. They almost killed Haruka." Michiru said.

"They didn't come close to killing me." Haruka said.

"Haruka shut up. Anyway Ami-chan watch out." Michiru said hanging up the phone. "Can't you go any faster?"

"I'm going as fast as I can you know we wouldn't have this problem if someone would have let me get the turbo charged model." Haruka said.

"Haruka have you any idea how much that car cost? I do want to have some money left to send our children to college. Oh why am I arguing about this? Just go!" Michiru said.

(Ami's apartment)

Sailor Mercury stood her back pressed to the wall as she tried to take another step backwards but couldn't, before her stood Neo Mercury and Neo Uranus both with swords in their hands and both laughing. Every time she attacked Neo Mercury would dispel it with ease. All three turned as they heard the phone ring and eventually switch over to voice mail. "Moshi Moshi you've reached the Urawa residence we aren't here please leave a message at the tone. Ami-chan its Michiru pick up right now. Please Ami-chan pick up. Haruko and Kimi are on their way to you. They almost killed Haruka. Haruka shut up. Anyway Ami-chan watch out."

"Good advise too bad it's too late." Neo Uranus said.

"I told you we should have killed her anyway let's get this done quick." Neo Mercury said.

"Space Sword Blaster!" Neo Uranus yelled slashing her sword in the air before Mercury sending several blasts of energy at her knocking her through the wall and into the next room.

Both senshi walked through the hole in the wall to the fallen senshi. Mercury lay on the ground covered in rumble from the wall. Blood dripped down the side of her face. Neo Uranus stopped above her raising her sword to finish her off but Neo Mercury stopped her. "No this one is mine." Neo Mercury said raising her sword holding it above her target for a minute then sinking it down into Mercury's left shoulder. Mercury cried out in pain from the wound then her transformation wore off, her henshin stick dropping to the ground beside her. Neo Mercury picked up the henshin stick and turned to Neo Uranus. "Let's go."

"Should we wait to make sure she dies? You heard what the queen said." Neo Uranus asked.

"There is no way she can survive that wound." Neo Mercury said then the two disappeared.

Ami sat on the ground her chest bleeding yet she wasn't coughing blood like she figured she would if Neo Mercury had punctured a lung, if she had hit her heart she would already been dead. Had Neo Mercury missed? The room started turning black as she became dizzy from blood loss she almost didn't see Sailor Neptune, Sailor Neo Neptune, Sailor Saturn and Haruka run in. "Saturn quick she's hurt!" Ami heard someone say but couldn't place who. She felt a pair of hands placed on her chest it felt warm and nice. Within a few minutes Ami could open her eyes again and see clearly. Saturn knelt above her. "She should be fine." Saturn said her transformation fading then she fell into Haruka's arms exhausted from healing Ami.

Haruka held Hotaru in her arms brushing her hand through her short black hair. "Sleep for now, you've done your part."

"Ami-chan!" Jupiter said running into the room. She had seen the open door and the mess in the first room fearing the worst.

"Mako-chan I'm ok." Ami said sitting up still a little weak. "They got my henshin stick."

"That makes two." Michiru said looking over at Haruka.

"I should be dead. A blow like that should have killed me. It's like she knew where to hit without fatally wounding me." Ami said.

"Guess it was lucky shot." Makoto said calling her own transformation off.

"Be one hell of a lucky shot the odds of missing any vital organs in that area are kami-sama I don't even know but it's not likely." Ami said. "It was like she already knew where that spot was."

"In my time line Kimi went to school to be a doctor. She wanted to be just like you. She ended up being a trauma surgeon." Michiyo said.

"It's possible she wasn't tying to kill you just like Haruko couldn't kill me." Haruka said still holding Hotaru.

"It could be but I think we should worry more about what they are going to do next." Michiyo said.

"I think I know." Haruka said.

"Where? Who is their next target?" Makoto said.

"With every villain we've ever faced who has always been their final target?" Haruka said.

"Usagi." All of them said at the same time.

(Katsumi's palace)

Neo Mercury and Neo Uranus appeared again before Katsumi. They knelt before her once again and were told to stand. "Well?" Katsumi said. Neo Mercury stepped forward handing her the henshin stick. "And Mercury?"

"Dead her blood stains my sword." Neo Mercury said holding her sword up.

"Good. The two of you have done well there is only one more thing left you have to do." Katsumi said.

"Anything for you my queen." Neo Uranus said bowing.

"You will kill Sailor Moon, the false princess and once again this solar system will belong to its rightful owner." Katsumi said. "But rest tonight. You've earned it. Tetsuji show the princesses to their rooms see that they are fed and can relax."

"Yes my queen."

(Chiba Residence)

The six senshi arrived at Usagi and Mamoru's house a short while later relieved that they weren't too late. Usagi on the other hand started to freak out that they had been attacked again and that Ami and Haruka had almost been killed. Even though both tried to tell them that their children couldn't actually kill them. After they finally got Usagi to calm down they sat in the living room Hotaru still asleep with her head resting in Haruka's lap. "What do you think they will do next?" Usagi asked.

"That's why we are here." Makoto said.

"Which is?" Usagi asked sounding a little confused.

"Protecting our princess." Michiru said.

"Huh? Me you think they are after me next?" Usagi said, "But Chibi-usa is safe in Elysian."

"I don't think they are going to use Chibi-usa she's too young. Princess I think they aim to kill you. Haruko told me some tell about how you stole this solar system from Katsumi and that they were only trying to return it to her." Haruka said. "Whatever spell she's placed on Haruko and Kimi they really believe it. But I believe that her spell hasn't fully corrupted them. Haruko is still in there if I could just-"

"Ruka you've no powers I don't want you involved in this." Michiru said cutting her off and placing her hand on Haruka's shoulder.

"Michi you can't expect me to stand back and do nothing." Haruka said.

"Like you told Hotaru you've done you part let us handle it from here." Michiru said leaning down to kiss Haruka.
