"I'm scared," Ami whispered.
Makoto frowned. "We could turn the movie off if…"
"It's not the movie," Ami said, cutting the tall girl off. She bit her lip. "It's…I'm scared…" she repeated.
Makoto turned the movie off and looked at the smaller girl. The pair was inside Makoto's apartment curled up on the couch watching an old horror film. "What are you scared of?"
"Ja'aku," Ami said. "He's so powerful. Even if we do band together and fight him, will we even be strong enough to stop him for good?"
Makoto held her close. "Of course we will," she said with more confidence than she felt. She didn't want Ami to know that she was scared out of her mind as well. "Between Usagi and Kael alone I think we could beat him."
Ami pushed away from the tall Senshi and glared at her. "Usagi couldn't even heal a Soul Phage on her own. We can barely beat a Daetamashii without Kael's help! How can you be so sure?" she demanded angrily.
"What do you want me to say?" Makoto demanded. "That I'm scared out of my mind that we might fail? That I'm scared to death of losing you again? That I might have to watch Ja'aku rip everyone's soul out including yours? Is that what you want me to admit? Because it's true you know. All of it. Part of me wants to do nothing more than just run away, far away, with you and be safe. But we can't. We have a duty to protect the princess and this planet." Makoto fell silent after her outburst.
Ami looked at Makoto and could see the fear in the tall girl's brown eyes. Ami wrapped her arms around one of Makoto's and rested her head on the Thunder Senshi's shoulder. "You don't need to put on a brave face for me," she said softly. "As long as we're together, I really don't care what happens."
Makoto pulled her close and held her tightly. "Neither do I," she said. The two remained like that for the rest of the night, ignoring the thunderstorm that was raging outside Makoto's apartment.

Mamoru looked up from unpacking his suitcase. The bell to his apartment rang again and he rose to his feet and walked to the door. He opened it and saw Usagi standing there. He knew something was up and stood to the side as she walked in. She slipped out of her shoes and they walked into the apartment, sitting down on the couch.
"What's wrong Usagi?" Mamoru asked.
"I'm scared," she whispered.
He frowned. "With what? The test you have tomorrow?"
She shook her head. "Have you heard about the attacks that have been going on here for the last few weeks?"
He nodded. "There was something about them on the American news stations," he said. "Though they passed it off more as a joke than anything."
"It's not a joke," she said. She quickly recounted everything that had happened while he had been studying abroad in America.
Two hours later he leaned back on the couch. "Quite a lot certainly has happened since I left," he said.
"Mamoru, I'm so scared that I'll fail," Usagi whispered, throwing herself into his lap. "Everyone is counting on me. What if we can't stop Ja'aku?"
He smiled warmly and wrapped his arms around her. "I believe in you Usagi. You've grown up so much over the last few years. But you've always been a kind, caring person who puts others first. Just remember that you have friends who love you. You don't have to fight Ja'aku alone," he said.
She smiled, tears sliding down her face. "Mamoru!" she cried gratefully and buried her head in his chest. He kissed the top of her head and held her, knowing that she wouldn't want to go home tonight.

Sam looked out the window, the storm raging wildly outside. Shadow was curled up in front of the fire, the flames reflecting off of his silver fur. She sighed, her arms folded over her chest. Rain streaked down the glass as lightening illuminated the night sky. Two strong arms wrapped around her and she couldn't help but smile.
"We'll beat him," Kael said softly, knowing what was weighing on her mind.
"How can you be so sure?" Sam asked. "I thought I beat him once and he's back," she pointed out.
"True. But you tried to beat him on your own. You need to realize you have thirteen friends, Mamoru included, who are willing to help you. Not to mention that you have one guy who loves you," he said.
A smile formed on her face. "I guess I'm not alone," she admitted.
"Not if I have anything to say about it," he grinned, resting his head on her shoulder. She leaned into him and closed her eyes. "Ashiteru kohitori-chan."
"Ashiteru shinsetsu-okami," she whispered.
Shadow opened one eye and watched the couple stand in front of the window. If he could, the wolf would have smiled, glad that his friend had finally found someone. Shadow shifted into a more comfortable position and fell asleep, his ears still alert for any foreign sound.

Haruka smiled as a bolt of lightening flashed across the sky. Her arms were draped around Michiru, who had her head resting against the blonde's shoulder. "You think we can defeat Ja'aku?" Michiru asked softly.
"I have faith," Haruka replied. "O-dango has faced great odds before and come out the winner when we thought she wouldn't make it. She'll do it again. She really doesn't know how to give up without saving everyone."
"True, but I can't suppress this feeling I have. Something bad is about to happen," Michiru said.
"It'll be all right," Haruka assured her. "We're not the only ones who won't let anything happen to the princess. Though I think we might have to get in line behind Kael. Despite any arguments he and Usagi have from the Silver Millennium, he does care about her."
"Do you think Sam's friends are all right?"
"For Ja'aku's sake, I hope so. Sam's very protective of her friends." The two fell silent, watching the storm. Haruka kissed the top of Michiru's head. "Ashiteru my nami-sosha," Haruka whispered. (Wave Runner)
"Ashiteru my kazetobu," Michiru returned. (Wind Flyer)

Setsuna, Hotaru, Rei, and Minako were all sitting in a café with the Three Lights, waiting out the storm. "Think we'll be able to win?" Seiya asked. "I mean, Ja'aku's obviously more powerful than Galaxia."
Setsuna looked down into her hot chocolate. "I believe we will, but the future is not set in stone. Anything can change the course of events."
"We have to win," Hotaru said.
"If we don't, more than this world is lost," Rei agreed.
Minako finished drinking her glass of pop and slammed her fist down on the table. "We will be victorious for I am the great Sailor V!" As the words left her mouth, she struck a heroic pose in her chair.
The Three Lights and the other three Senshi stared at her, holding their head wearily. "Do we know her?" Yaten asked.
"No," the others promptly answered.
Minako stopped the pose and glared at them. "You guys are no fun."
"No. You're just strange," Seiya said. He shrank back at her look. "In a good way!" he quickly added which caused the other five to laugh.

Ja'aku chuckled. "That's right. Laugh. Enjoy what time you all have left together. The time of your deaths is fast approaching."
Cameron and the other three members of SG-1 watched him leave the cavern. "We have got to get out of here," Cameron said.
"What do you suggest Colonel Mitchell?" Teal'c asked.
"I dunno. You got any thoughts Captain Hailey?"
The small blonde officer shook her head. "Why were we even taken in the first place? We have no clue as to who this guy is."
The three men looked at each other. "Well…remember what happened to Sam a few months ago?" Daniel asked.
"You mean how she regressed by several years?" Hailey asked.
"Turns out it wasn't the Prior who did the regressing. Oma Desala did it," Daniel told the young woman.
"Why?" Hailey asked.
"From what Colonel Carter told us, it was to save her life as well as fulfill her destiny," Teal'c said.
Hailey arched a brow. "Destiny?"
"Ever hear of the Sailor Senshi?" Cameron asked.
"Yeah. So?"
"Carter's one of them. Sailor Phoenix, right?" Cameron asked, glancing at his teammates. "Anyway, she's been living in Tokyo since she left the SGC battling the things that took us."
"And this is for real, right?" Hailey asked.
"Indeed," Teal'c confirmed.
"Just don't tell anyone," Cameron said. "The whole superhero secret identity thing has to be preserved."
"That still doesn't explain why this guy grabbed us," Hailey said.
"Well, this guy is basically a power hungry Ori who everyone is afraid of," Cameron said.
"Sam said she sealed him away, but it looks like he got free," Daniel said.
"So we're bait," Hailey said.
"Yep," Cameron said.
"Nothing new there I guess," Hailey muttered.
"Welcome to the lives of SG-1," Daniel grinned.

Sam jumped and fell out of bed as a cold, wet nose found a spot of bare skin. She hit the ground hard and glared at Shadow. "I was sleeping," she growled.
"Sorry," he apologized. "I would have wakened Kael, but he's use to my wake-up methods."
Sam shook her head, glancing over at the sleeping man under the covers. "It's all right. What's up?"
"There's someone pounding rather loudly at the door," Shadow said. "I would have answered it, but talking animals aren't common."
Sam smiled at the wolf and scratched him briefly behind his left ear. "Don't worry about it." She pulled a robe on over her tank top and flannel pants and walked downstairs, a hand over her mouth as she yawned. She ran a hand through her mussed up hair to organize it somewhat.
She halted in front of the door and opened it. She stared in shock, her eyes wide. "What the hell are you doing here?" she demanded.
Vala gave a faint, embarrassed smile. "I'm here to help," she said.
"Help?" Sam repeated.
Vala nodded. Before more could be said, a winged creature rammed into the alien thief. All exhaustion left Sam and she quickly transformed. She yanked the Daetamashii off of Vala and pulled her sword free.
"Get out of here!" Phoenix ordered.
"Not this time," Vala said.
"Are you insane? This thing'll kill you!" Phoenix said.
"It won't kill me," Vala said confidently. She fished something out of her pocket and held it up to the sky. "Dragon Star Power! Make UP!"
Phoenix's mouth dropped open as Vala transformed into a Sailor Senshi, clad in a black skirt, black leather boots that folded over at the knee, and a tight fitting black leather top that showed off her abdomen. A gold tiara rested on her forehead, a red-jeweled image of a dragon in the center. Her black hair was tied back behind her head and black leather gloves covered her hands all the way up to her upper arms.
"Penetrating the darkness of night, the air of freedom breaks through! I am a sacred shooting star…Sailor Star Kaida!" the transformed Vala called out.
Phoenix stared in disbelief. "You have got to be kidding me!"
Hee hee! Betcha all didn't see that coming! Now onward to the next chapter!
