Hello my faithful readers and reviewers! Things will definitely be picking up within the next few chapters.
Now that being said, please enjoy the chapter and review. I will be handing out shiny sporks to reviewers. And if those same people review next chapter, they'll also get pudding to eat with the shiny spork. The pudding is thickening...just like the plot! It's plot pudding!
Elphie Muse: Oye...
...I thought it was funny...
Elphie Muse: You would.
I own nothing...except this spork that wants to meet Elphie Muse...
Elphie Muse: oo;;;;
"This place is amazing!" Usagi exclaimed as she and the rest of the Senshi walked into Sam's backyard.
"Ah! A racetrack!" Minako exclaimed.
"You're too young to drive, remember?" Ami chided her. A sulk formed on Minako's face.
"She may be too young to drive, but not to ride," Haruka said. Minako's face instantly lit up in joy.
"Feel free to use the pool," Sam said. "There's also a decent size library in the house if you want to read a book out here."
Ami started heading inside the house when Usagi grabbed her. "It's time to play Ami! Come on!" The Inner Senshi ran over to the pool and quickly shed their clothes. They leapt in and started splashing around.
"How about a bike race Mamoru?" Jack challenged, looking at the tall man.
"I hope you don't mind losing," Mamoru said. Jack snorted and they started heading over to the garage. The four Outer Senshi drifted over to the pool area, amusement on their faces at the antics of the others.
"Hey Carter!" a voice called from behind in English. Sam frowned and turned. She saw three familiar people walking up to her, duffle bags over their shoulders. "You don't call, you never write," Cameron said, a grin on his face.
"What are you three doing here?" she asked, feeling a bit strange to be using English again.
"Got some downtime and figured we'd come hang out with you," Cameron said.
"And we need to talk about…stuff," Daniel added.
Sam frowned. "What 'stuff' do we need to talk about?"
"We should go inside to talk about this," Cameron said, glancing at the nine Senshi and the two men racing.
"Sure," Sam said. They walked inside and Sam motioned for them to sit down on the couch in the family room. "So what's up?"
"The Ori have a working Super Gate," Daniel said.
"When did this happen?" Sam demanded.
"A few days ago. The Tok'ra, Jaffa, Asgard, and us are all searching for it. SG-1 is going on a special mission though."
"To try and find Merlin's weapon," Sam figured.
"Indeed," Teal'c said.
"We need you to come with us," Cameron said. "Daniel can read Ancient, but you're our technology expert."
Sam looked down and touched the bracer on her left forearm. "I can't," she said quietly. The three men looked at her in startlement.
"Why the hell not?" Cameron demanded.
"I can't tell you," she said.
"Sam, if this has anything to do with what happened at the Beta Site…" Daniel began. He stopped when Sam shook her head.
"It's not that Daniel, believe me."
"Then what's keeping you here?" he asked.
"I can't tell you, I'm sorry," Sam said.
"Carter, we got clearance for the highest classifications in the world," Cameron said. "You can tell us."
"No I can't, so drop it!" Sam snapped. She rose to her feet and paced around. After several moments, she came to a halt. "Look, I want to go with you, believe me. But I'm needed here."
"To anyone else you're only a nineteen year old woman living on her own in a mansion. How could you possibly be needed here?" Daniel asked.
Sam's eyes turned cold. "Gee, thanks Daniel," she said stiffly and stormed outside to the back.
Cameron smacked Daniel on the arm. "Nice going," the Lieutenant Colonel muttered. They hurried out after Sam. "Sam, we do need your help. Please."
"My answer is no Cameron. And you can't order me because I'm resigned."
"We should finish this discussion later," Teal'c said, noticing the others had glanced over to them.
"This discussion is over Teal'c. I'm not going," Sam said firmly.
"Carter, we're not leaving till you come with us," Cameron said. "Those were our orders. And we can make you come with us."
"Sam, you okay?" Jack asked, walking over.
"Peachy," she growled.
"O'Neill," Teal'c greeted.
"Hey T. Long time no see," Jack said.
"What are you doing out here?" Daniel asked.
"I could ask you the same thing," Jack said.
"We just need Carter for a mission is all," Cameron said. "We'll have her back ASAP, promise."
"She's not a thing for you to take when you want Mitchell," Jack said. "Besides, she could kick your butts without batting an eye."
"Look, this isn't my decision. The orders came from the Pentagon," Cameron said wearily.
"You mean the Committee," Sam said.
He nodded. "There's nothing we can do Sam."
"Oh, but there is," a cold voice said.
They looked up at the top of the house. Sam and Jack's eyes narrowed. "Who the hell is that?" Cameron asked.
"No one good," Jack muttered.
Sam whirled around to the nine girls and Mamoru. "Get out of here and go for help!" she yelled.
Haruka nodded. "Let's go!" she ordered and they ran into the woods.
"It does not matter. You five are the ones I want," the figure said.
"Great," Cameron muttered.
"Who are you?" Sam demanded.
"My name is Lady Misuteru Colonel Carter," she spat. "That's right. I know who you all are. And I will take great pleasure in taking your souls."
"I'm sensing some hostility here," Jack said.
"As you should," she sneered. She pulled her black sword free. "DIE!" she screamed. She leapt off the roof and hurtled down to them.
Sam shoved Teal'c and Daniel to the ground while Jack pulled Cameron out of the way. "We should run!" Sam suggested.
"You can't escape from me Samantha," Misuteru growled. She charged at Sam.
"Stop right there!" a voice ordered. They turned and saw nine silhouettes. "Interrupting a perfect day of relaxation is something we cannot forgive! The five pretty soldiers in sailor suits…"
"Sailor Team!" five voices said together.
"In the name of the moon," Sailor Moon began.
"We shall punish you!" the five Inner Senshi finished.
"Invited by the new era, Sailor Uranus, acting elegantly!"
"Also invited by the new era, Sailor Neptune, acting gracefully!"
"I am Sailor Pluto, Guardian of Time. I will not let you hurt the innocent!"
"Nor will I, Sailor Saturn!"
"How nice," Misuteru smirked. "The nine Senshi. I will enjoy watching you die as well." She slowly made her way to the Senshi.
"Run!" Sam hissed.
"To where?" Cameron demanded.
"Away from here!" Jack returned. He and Sam ducked inside.
Cameron and the other two followed. They skidded to a halt when they couldn't find Sam or Jack. "Okay…this is weird…"
"Observe!" Teal'c said, looking out the kitchen window. The other two pressed their faces to the glass.

Misuteru continued her slow walk to the nine Senshi. "World Shaking!"
"Deep Submerge!"
"Dead Scream!"
"Silence Glaive!"
The four attacks merged into one and struck Misuteru head on. "Got her!" Saturn said, a grin on her face.
Jupiter's eyes widened. "No way…" she breathed.
The dust began to clear and they could see the unscathed outline of Misuteru. "Is that all you have?" she asked in a bored voice.
"Why don't you try me," a voice said.
Misuteru turned and grinned when she saw Phoenix. "I was hoping to face you."
"Well here I am," Phoenix said, pulling her sword free. Misuteru followed suit. "Just tell me one thing. Why do you hate those five so much?"
"It doesn't concern you," Misuteru growled. Rain began to fall, thoroughly soaking everyone. She charged in and Phoenix parried the attack. "But, if you must know, I want revenge."
Phoenix ducked a slash at her neck and slammed her fist into Misuteru's stomach. "Revenge for what?"
"They left me for dead on a god forsaken planet. They didn't even see the decency to bring my body back for a proper burial. But the Great Lord cared. He saved my soul and restored my body. He gave me the power to exact my revenge."
Phoenix's mind raced, trying to think of whom they could have left for dead. She thought of no one. "Maybe they thought you really were dead," she suggested, blocking a stab at her heart. The two combatants locked blades and stared each other in the eye.
"It no longer matters. The Great Lord shall consume this world once his servants arrive through the Gate." Misuteru violently backhanded Phoenix and vanished into the shadows. Phoenix slowly rose to her feet.
"What the hell was that?" Cameron demanded, storming out.
"Something you shouldn't worry about," Apollo said.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Daniel asked.
Phoenix's eyes narrowed. She suddenly shoved the archaeologist to the side and grunted in pain. Misuteru shimmered into view. "Not who I was aiming for, but you'll do," she cackled. She violently twisted her blade and pulled it out. She then shimmered away, leaving the mortally wounded Phoenix on the wet grass.
Uranus knelt down at her friend's side. "Damn it…she's bleeding badly."
Phoenix's transformation undid itself without warning. "Holy…Carter?" Cameron asked, his eyes wide with shock.
