Part 1

Episode 10,

The next day, 'Tuesday'

All the senshi were at Rei's temple for the meeting/study group expects for Hotaru, Setsuna, Usagi, Luna, and the dog 'Kero'. They were taking when they see two odango coming up the stairs. Luna arrives first and turns around to wait for Usagi.

Rei comes over to Usagi and asks, "Where have you been?"

"Home, resting," says Usagi as she finally reached the top of the stairs, she stop to catching her breath, Rei just stood there, surprised.

"What happen to you?" asks Rei. Usagi stood there in her long selves uniform and using a pair of crutches, everyone else was in their short selves uniform. Her entire body was completely covered. Rei move away so everyone could see. They all get up and walk over to Rei and Usagi.

"Odango atamo, What happen to you?" asks Seiya, repeating Rei's question.

"When did this happen, Usagi-chan?" asks Minako.

Usagi smile weakly and says, "Got hurt, last week."

"How?" asks Makoto.

"Equestrian, I fell off the house," says Usagi.

"Usagi?!" says everyone.

"You should sit down, Usagi," says Rei. Everyone starts walking back toward the temple.

"You guys, you don't need to worry about me," says Usagi walking behind the group with Rei next to her. Usagi trips on her own two feet and falls to the ground.

"Usagi?!" says everyone. Haruka comes over to Usagi, picks her up and carries her over to the steps and places her down, while Michiru holding Usagi's crutches.

"We are worried about you," says Ami.

"We have never seen you like this," says Makoto.

"Please don't worry about me, I'll be fine," says Usagi. All the senshi look at another. Haruka was about to say something when Usagi cut her off.

"So anyway what's going on?" says Usagi.

"Nothing much, we're just talking about the enemy and the disappears of Anua," says Yaten.

"What about Hotaru?" asks Taiki.

"She as well, is missing," says Haruka.

"Maybe it is about time we go fine her," says Seiya.

"But where do we start looking," says Usagi.

"Well I have an idea where she might be." The senshi looked at Michiru, "She answered the phone a week ago here for Rei while she was in the bathroom."

"But the phone was for me not Rei-chan," says Usagi.

"Yes, Hotaru said that it was Pr. Graislane on the phone..."

"So you are saying that Hotaru is in the 4 Stars Area," says Haruka.

"Have you seen that place lately. It is cover with security guards and cameras," says Rei.

"All students must carry their ID's around," says Haruka.

"I don't think the queen of England could sneak around let alone us," says Minako. Everyone sweatdrops.

"We will just have to wait then," says Michiru. The senshi kept talking until was time to go home. They say their good-bye and part in their ways.

The next day 'Wednesday'

All the upper classmen (both 11th and 12th grades) including the inners, Rei with them and the Starlighs were line up in front of a school bus. Ami was smiling from ear to ear with stars in her eyes.

"I don't believe it, we're actually going to a university college," says Ami, "My dream is coming true, soon off to Med. School."

"Uh, Ami-chan, its more then a university college, its has six school in one," says Taiki.

"It has Preschool, Elementary, Middle, High school, College, and University College rolled up into one," says Rei, reading a booklet.

"Rei-chan, why did you come us? I thought your school also had a college system?" asks Usagi.

"It does, I just ask if I can see other college," says Rei.

"All right you all, time to board the bus," says the teacher, who was in charge. They all board the bus and head to the 4 Stars Area.

4 Stars Area, 'Mokahon' school

The bus arrives in front of Mokahon School. Everyone disembarks the bus and stands in a line. (There are other Jr. high schools and High Schools as well as the senshi's school.) Kasumi was standing there with a clipboard in her hands, she was checking off Jr. High and High school as they arrived. The senshi's school being the last one to arrived. Kasumi see Usagi standing next to Rei and Seiya. She phones the professor to tell him that all the school has arrived.

"Sir," says Kasumi, using a head set with the phone.

"Yes, Kasumi?" says Pr. Graislane.

"The last bus has arrive and Ms. Tsukino is here too," says Kasumi.

"Please escort her to the VIP section, Kasumi," says the professor.

"Yes sir," says Kasumi. Kasumi removes the headset and walks over to Usagi and her friends.

"Ms.Tuskino, will you please come with me?" asks Kasumi. Usagi jumps to the sound of the voice. "Ms.Tuskino?" Usagi turns around to see Yami Kasumi in a black dress with a white lab coat on. Usagi moves back silently.

"We have disable seating that will be better for you," says Kasumi.

Seiya whisper in Usagi's ear, "What are you going to do?"

"I guess I go," says Usagi, turning halfway to her friends.

"No need to worry, during the classroom visits you will be returned your friends," says Kasumi.

"See you guys later," says Usagi. Both Kasumi and Usagi walk away from the school group and entries a big lecture hall with several Jr. High and High Schools in there already including Mokahon Jr. High School and Mokahon High School divisions. Usagi takes her seat in the front row and waits.

Haruka and Michiru were seated in the lecture hall with their classmates when Michiru sees the inners and Starlights, third section and two rows down.

"There is the inners and Starlighs but no Usagi."

"That's because she's down there in the first row," says Haruka. Michiru nods. The inners see the outers.

Back stage

Professor Graislane was working on his opening speech. He was saying 'Welcome Students' in many different styles of speech; he was also struggling with his tie and looking in a mirror. Kasumi stops behind Professor and looks into the mirror.

"I hate these ties," says the professor.

"Here let me help you," says Kasumi.

"Thanks," says the professor. Kasumi fixes his tie. He removes his lab coat and Kasumi helps him into his dress coat.

"How is our young guest doing?" asks the professor.

"Stable," says Kasumi, "Sir before you go out there. I think you should see this." Kasumi shows the professor some analyze on the computer screen. She presses some computer keys and a view screen comes on the computer comes up. The screen showed the lecture hall with all the students. The picture homes into a select section and become clearer, showing two students talking to each other.

"In fifth section, G7, G8, there are two students with unusual high energy patters. Most of the students in all of Mokahon don't have them. Those two have almost the same patter as the young guest." Pr. Graislane looks at the computer screen.

"What should we do, professor," says Kasumi.

"Capture them," he says. He moved away then stops and finishes, "Not until I say so. Now if you excuse me, I have a speech to give."

Kasumi smiles to herself when she remembers something important.

"Professor?" he stops and gives her a questioning glance as Kasumi picks up a stack of note cards, "Aren't you forgetting something?" He walks over to her, sighs, and nods as he takes the cards. He pauses for only one moment to check his headset before going on stage. Meanwhile Kasumi gets out her own copy of the speech and goes out to take a seat near Usagi.

Lecture Hall/Auditorium

Everyone is waiting for the Professor's speech when the lights dim, causing the entire audience to be quiet. The stage lights go back on and the Professor walks on to the stage. Everyone applauds but the Professor makes them stop when he gets to the podium.

"Welcome students," he begins, "I am pleased to see that all of you have come to this assembly. I will shortly inform you of the vast variety we offer here at Mokahon High School Division and Mokahon College Division..."

As he continues with his speech Kasumi is looking over it. She soon realizes that it wasn't saying what it was supposed to. She blinks and switches her connection to the Professor's headset, "Professor," she whispers, "That isn't the correct speech!" However the response she gets isn't the Professor's, but another man's voice.

"I know, how do you like it?" he whispers.

"You?! Do you have do have any idea what he's going to do to you when he finds out, Dr. Diamond?" asks Kasumi.

"When?! What do you mean 'when'?!" asks the Dr. Diamond, "You're not going to tell him are you?!"

"Yes, you after all have sabotaging him."

"I can't believe you, Kasumi, how could you stand up for him?! You know he deserves it!"

"You can't blame one person for everything."

"..."

"Well I've had enough," she says as she switches her connection to the other switch (the one that says sound booth) "Professor?"

"Nope." Kasumi now is furious, she turns off the equipment, gets up, and makes her way to the sound booth.

Meanwhile

Professor Graislane has gotten to the point where he knows his speech is becoming futile and be begins to improvise when he notices someone starts to recline (Minako).

Minako is pushing her seat back to recline as she whines, saying, "Man, this is going to take forever!"

The professor focuses on her as she is saying that, stops his speech and says, "Would the girl in seat J7 of the third section please relax. I assure you, my speech will not take that long."

Minako's face faults as she hears that and she blushes like mad when everyone looks at her and a few students snicker.

"Please stand! What is your name?" he asks, very much amused.

Minako stands blushing like a red rose, and says, "Aino Minako." More students snicker, the other senshi went white.

"I don't believe he did that," whispers Haruka to Michiru, as she nods.

"I am starting to think that he has power that we can't sense, that would be the only way that he would know that Minako was recline," says whispers Michiru, as they watch as Minako sits back down and as the professor continues.

Haruka says, "Let face it, we just got bad seats!" Michiru nod and giggles.

"Well, take heart, it won't be much longer." He then gets serious again, "As I was saying this, school wa..." he begins, but the audio was cut, so the rest wasn't heard.

All of a sudden, the input on his side crack up, however there was no one speaking to him so it only produced a loud scratch that only he could hear. He flinches and quickly pulls it out, setting the headset aside. He then signals for one of the sound technician to get a microphone. The sound technician quickly gets the microphone turns it on and hands it to the Professor who begins to speak, but nothing comes out. A sweatdrops comes to the back of his face and begins to test the volume by trapping it three times, but the third tap the volume rises to such an intensity that the microphone protest with a loud cry. Professor immediately turns the microphone off.

Having such a predicament, the Professor is forced to shout to the audience, says, "Please excuse this inconvenience, but it seem that we will be having an unexpected intermission. We will be back up in due time, and I just asks you all to sit tight until then." He then leaves the stage and goes backstage, taking the malfunctioning equipment with him.

The professor decides to try the headset again, but as soon as he does he gets a lot of static. He is about to turn to off when the static clears and he hears a voice, but not who he was expecting.

"You deserve an Oscar for that performance, you didn't cringe at even one of the problems I hurled at you."

"Diamond?! What are you doing there?"

"What does it look like," Diamond responds, "Finally getting my rematch, how dare you hurt my little bother." When Diamond sees the Professor trying to sense him he laughs and says, "You'll never find me that way."

The professor had closed his eyes and was focusing on Diamond. Suddenly he opens them and gets back up.

"See, I knew you'd fail," says Diamond.

"Oh did I?" responds the Professor.

This stops Diamond's laugh, and says, "No way! There is no way that you could have perfected that already." The professor doesn't respond instead he glares up toward the sound room and directly at Diamond. He then takes off the headset and makes his way to the sound room.

He stops when he reaches the stairs and curses the people who constructed the building, just thinking about going up those stairs made him nauseous. He then hears uncertain footsteps behind him, turns around and finds an aid ready to assist him, but motion her away saying, "I'll be fine."

He then goes up the stairs, but by the time he reaches the ¾ point he stops because his dizziness was overwhelming him. After a few second he recovers, sighs, and a sweatdrops appear on his face. Then starts to go again.

In the sound room

Kasumi is looking at Diamond horrified as she realizes how serious he was and says, "Why are you doing this?"

"You wouldn't understand..." he says as went to lean against some boxes, "You can go on with your show now, however, I'm afraid that the Professor won't be joining you. But tell me just one thing?"

"Yes?"

"What did you see in that blundering fool anyway? Why can't you love me instead of him?" Just then the Professor comes, looking a little sick.

"You made it," says Diamond mockingly as he applauds him, "I wasn't sure if you could get here, but now that you're here," he says as he pushes himself of the boxes and into a fighting stance, "Let's get to business."

The Professor replies only with a nod as he takes of his dress coat and goes into his own stance. Diamond starts immediately by sending a shard of ice at the Professor, however he manages to dodge it and get closer to Diamond at the same time.

"You've improved..." states Diamond, "But so have I, and this time it won't be enough!" As soon as he says this he goes at him with a upward combination attack forcing their battle to go toward the rafters. The professor finally settles and changers to force him back. However Diamond thought he might do this so he quickly recovers by jumping to Graislane's back. The Professor turns around in time to block the next attack, but the blow was still enough to throw him across the sound room and to the other rafters. Graislane gets up, but then realizes where he is, immediately gets dizzy, and curse under his breath but as he begins to recover Diamond is going at him. Graislane narrowly avoids the first attack, but not the next as he is thrown again. This time he removes a bit quicker and just in time to block an incoming kick, getting a hold of his foot while he was at it. Unfortunately Diamond merely used his other leg and kicked him off the rafters before it was too late and swung himself back up, using that swing to land a kick in the progress, this time Diamond falls. He starts to go the sound room when he hears Diamond land on the rafters. He turns around in time to dodge the attack.

Then Diamond smirks and says, "If you want to finish this follow me." Having says that he runs to the ladder that lead to the roof, Graislane immediately follows.

On the roof

The two are continuing their fight, but this time, both are using their elements. They both charge at each other for one final blow, a combination of physical and elemental. The pass each other, each having made their attack, and are now recovering, but where Diamond's attack wears off, Graislane's truly begins, and Diamond burst into flames. Diamond screams but as some as he does the professor throws a scroll of silence at him stopping his scream once and for all. The professor starts to leave once more when Diamond charges him once more. Professor Graislane reacts by dodging and throwing one final scroll at him, which extends to become a binding chain, while saying, "Die already!"

Once he is satisfied that Diamond his no way out he dust himself and goes back down into the sound room, signals and says, "Take care of him," before heading back down to with his coat to resume the Assembly.

Backstage

The professor puts his coat and headset back on, straightens himself up and goes back on stage.

"We have finally fixed our little problem, however since we are short on time you will all receive booklets concerning this school. And now, without further adieu, I bring you your entertainment." As he says this a group of five approached the stage while aids brought out a piano.

"Now this small portion of our Music Department will grace us with a piece of their upcoming concert," finishes the professor.

He then walks off as one person takes up the violin, another sits by the piano and the last three sing. The piano starts first, then the violin, and then the 3 sing. (A 5:44 minutes song, 3-part harmony, the song "The Snow".) When the finish all five come to the middle of the stage and bowed. The whole audience cheers and claps. As the five leaves the stage, a video screen comes down and the lights dim, a video starts to play and a narrator begins.

"Hello, my name is Erin O'Nell, a transfer student from England. I'm the captain of Track and Field. Many of my friends call me 'Wind Chaser' because I run as fast as the wind." The video showed Erin and his teammate doing Track and Field, Erin jumping over hurdles and other teammate doing other events. They show Erin drinking water, then turning to the camera, doing a peace sign and smiling.

"We have a great team in this division. If you want to be as the wind, come to our school," says Erin. The last picture on the video was a picture of the whole team. The video ends, the screen goes up, and the light go up. Again there is clapping, Pr. Graislane comes back up on the stags, clapping.

"That was done by our video editing department. Now...then," Graislane checks his pocket watch, "We will now finish the day with class visitation. Please go to your teachers to find out your schedules." Pr. Graislane exits the stage right. He looks back and sees Usagi not in her seat. Everyone starts to leave the Lecture Hall and begins the tours.

Meanwhile

Usagi has snuck out of the lecture hall during the video to use the bathroom and now comes back into the hall to find she alone, no one was there.

"Ah, I did it again, I'll try finding my way back to the others." Kasumi watched Usagi from the shadows. Usagi left the hall and got lost right away. She felt like she was walking in cycles. She came to a sign that read 'College's tour to Right' Usagi went to the right. She went down a long dark hallway. The sign that says 'College's tour to Right' fell off, and there was a sign behind it that read 'Do not Enter, authorize personal only'. Kasumi picks up the fallen sign and walks down the long hallway, tapping the sign with her fingers. She follows Usagi down the hall with an evil smile, and then she disappears.

Usagi opens a door and comes into a dark room. The only light in the room is the light at the end of the long hallway.

"Hm, I guess I took a wrong turn. I have a bad feeling about this place, but why am I not scared," says Usagi. A shadow falls on Usagi and looks down.

"You should be..." says the shadow (Kasumi). Usagi is about to turn around when something is thrust on to Usagi's mouth and nose. Usagi struggles then falls unconscious to the floor. Kasumi caught Usagi before she hits the floor. Kasumi places Usagi on the floor, takes out a phone and calls the professor.

"Sir, We have her, we have Ms. Tsukino. It work as plan," says Kasumi.

"Good work, Kasumi," says the professor, "Take her to room 5 and check out our young guest in room 2. Be ready for phase 3."

"Yes sir." Kasumi put the phone in her lab coat, pick up Usagi and walks back down the darken hallway.

A few minutes later, in another part of the school, 'lunch time'

The inners and Starlights are eating lunch and talking when Haruka and Michiru come over to them holding their lunch trays.

"May we join you?" asks Michiru. They all nod and Makoto motions for them to sit down.

As they take their places Haruka quickly looks around and asks, "Where's the Odango?"

"Well, the last time we saw her she left with Ms. Yami before the assembly started," says Yaten.

"We know, we saw her sitting in the front row," says Michiru.

"Well," says Minako, "I saw her heading toward the exit. I guess she went to the restroom."

Rei smacks her forehead and says, "Ugh, she probable got lost on the way back, should we go look for her?"

"Have a little faith in her you guys," says Ami, "I'm sure she'll catch up with us."

Everyone gets a sweatdrop and Taiki pats Ami on the back saying, "Hold on to that, someday she will." Everyone giggles and Ami sighs.

Just then, the Professor makes an announcement over the speakers, "Would all Mokahon High School students please report back to your classes, immediately."

Michiru smiles and says, "The middle schools are getting a tour of the high school today too. They wanted to know how the classrooms are like, so they're going watch us in class. Anyway, your tour of the college systems starts after lunch, but we'll still be in class at that time, Bye." They get up, Haruka and Michiru waves as they go to their class.

As they get there, they realize that they are the last ones and start to go faster. When they enter the room they find themselves surrounded by their fellow classmates. Both try to back up at the same time, but two students manage to get behind them, grab them and puts sedative soaked cloth over their mouths and noses. Michiru falls unconscious, but Haruka struggles to stay up. She manages to knock out the guy holding her and a few others around but her strength fails her and she is caught and drugged again, this time she falls too. Her last word before she falls unconscious are, "Dame it!!!"

The teacher then makes a call on the class phone and says, "Sir? We have them...yes they did...yes sir...bye."

When Michiru wakes up she find herself and Haruka chained at their hands and feet with just enough room to get up. She looks to the side and finds Haruka still out cold. "Haruka?" she whispers, "Haruka wake up." She looks around and realizes that someone is coming, "Haruka, wake up, please," she pleads as she keeps glancing at the direction of the steps.

Haruka finally starts to wake up; she starts to move when she feels the tug of the chains. She wakes up completely at the shock of the chairs. She gets up so quickly that the chains end up bruising herself a bit. Michiru is relived to see Haruka awake, but Haruka is unnerved. She is about to say something when a voice from across the room interrupts them.

"So you two are finally awake," says the voice.

"Who are you?!" demands Haruka.

"Who am I?" The man steps out of the shadow revealing himself to be the professor, "You already know that, dear." Haruka glares at the Professor while Michiru gives him a look of fore knowledge.

The Professor looks at them emotionlessly and asks, "How much do you know?"

When neither of them respond he steps closer to them, "Well?" still no response, "Hmph, playing games are we?" He goes closer to them and sighs, "Well, that doesn't matter right now." He steps closer to them and sighs, "Perhaps you like to introduce yourselves."

But Haruka only throws back Professor Graislane's own comment, "You already know that."

The professor furrow his eyebrows in anger, "Don't try that on me! I know you're keeping something, now, Talk!"

However the two are silent again. The professor fumes with rage as he waits. Finally he cools down enough to leave it at that.

"I'll deal with you two tomorrow," and begins to leave. Just as he is nearly out of hearing range Haruka's stomach growls. He glances at her, as she slightly blushes, while continuing to glare at him. When Haruka's stomach grumbles again, the professor stops and looks at her while he arches an eyebrow.

"What did you expect," protests Haruka, "You didn't even let us eat our lunches."

The professor just responds with, "Tomorrow will due," before leaving. When they are sure that the professor is gone they relax slightly and rest.

The next day

6am in the morning the professor decides its time to wake his 'guests' up and turns on all the lights in their room before going in himself.

"Rise and shine," the professor says without humor in his voice.

"I'll rise," says Haruka, groggily, "but I won't shine."

"We'll see about that," says the professor with a slight smirk, "but first thing is first." The professor and an aid go to Haruka. The aid holds Haruka down as the professor prepares to draw blood from Haruka. When Haruka sees the needle and the small tubing in his hand, she starts to fight against the aid hold on her but the professor grabs her arm, Haruka then tries to get out of his grip, but is unsuccessful.

Professor Graislane looks at her warningly and says, "Listen, if you don't stop squirming the needle tip will break, creating a wound that will become infected, to say the least." This stops Haruka and keeps Michiru from squirming. When he finally gets the blood samples, he sets them aside, and quickly injects them both with something.

"Now to see if you truly can shine," says the professor as most of the light turn off and a strange light is turned on, this light isn't white light, but another unknown type. It reacts with Haruka's and Michiru's energy and the drug causing their symbols to appear and for them to glow.

The two gasp a bit, but then Haruka demands, "What have you done?!"

"Now, now, are you really in the position to be asking the questions right now?" replies the professor, "Besides I have more ways that you to make you talk. Lets not go down that list, agreed?" Haruka only glares at him for her answer.

"Suit yourselves," says the professor, as he motions for the rest of the equipment to be brought. The lights turn back on and an aid brings table of equipment.

The professor goes to the table and picks up a scalpel and goes over to Michiru. Haruka's eyes widen as she realizes what he's about to do. Michiru backs away, but he gets a hold of her shoulder and force her to stop.

Haruka curse and shouts, "If you hurt her, I swear, I will kill you!" as she struggles against the chains, trying to get closer. The professor ignores her, and presses the blade against Michiru's skin making a small incision.

"Stop!!" Haruka now pleads. The professor still ignores her. A single drop of blood glides down her shoulder, near her neck.

"Stop!" Haruka says as she bows her head, "I'll talk, I'll talk, just don't hurt her, don't hurt Michiru." She goes to her knees with her hands behind her. A tear comes from Haruka's eye and falls to the floor.

The professor sighs as he removes the blade and lets go of Michiru. Michiru sinks to the floor as she clings to her wound. The professor now ignores Michiru and goes to Haruka.

"Good," he then motion to the aid who fill up a needle and hands it to him, "And just to make sure you are honest about what you know..." Haruka doesn't respond, she doesn't ever move, but allow the liquid (the drug) to be injected into her.

A minute later the professor tries questioning her again, "Tell me about yourselves, your true selves," he asks as he kneels to be almost eye to eye.

"Haruka, don't!" says Michiru, but Haruka tells him everything even stuff that she didn't know that she knew.

"So, who is this Queen Ceanna?" asks the professor.

For a while Haruka doesn't respond when she does she shakes her head saying, "I told you everything that I know."

The professor gets up and says, "Very Well, you may rest now, food will be brought to you later."

Haruka suddenly jumps up, she had manages to unlock her shackles with a pin while they were still questioning her, and tackles the professor. She succeeds in holding the shocked professor for a little while, but he soon recovers and throws her into the wall where she is chained again. The professor picks up the pin she used after dusting himself.

"That was not wise, but you'll get what you asked for later." He then leaves, and eventually, so does the aid with the table.

After a while Michiru goes as close as she can to the still fallen Haruka.

"Haruka, are you all right?"

Haruka gets up and says, "Yeah," she then shows off her catch, the keys for the locks on the shackles. Michiru looks at them a bit shocked, but then giggles as Haruka gets them both out. They transform and break down the door using both of their attacks. By the time aids get there, the two are gone.

Meanwhile

Usagi wakes up strapped to a medical table with bright lights shining on to her. Equipment going on around, surrounding her, and connected to her, including IVs and an EKG. When the professor's aids realize that she is waking up, they back up and call for the professor.

"Where am I?" she asks weakly, "What are you doing to me?"

The professor comes in time to hear this, "We're stabilizing your condition," he answers her.

"But why? Why all of this?" she asks.

"Because I need to know," he whispers, drawing close to her, "Where is the queen of Mordansia?"

"She's me," she responds.

"Anua..." Usagi simply nods to that.

"Thank you, child," says the professor as he increases the flow of one of the IVs, "Rest now." Usagi falls unconscious again when an aid rushes in.

"Sir!" he says while catching his breath.

"What is it?" he asks impatiently.

"They've escaped!" he answers, still breathless.

"What!? But how?!" he gasps, when he realizes that his keys are missing, "Never mind, just track them down again."

The aid leaves as soon as he can when another aid comes in a woman this time, "Sir?"

"Now what?" he asks, still irritated.

"Subject A is waking up," she says.

The professor sighs and says, "Thank you."

"I'd like you to see this," continues the aid, "her data shows a full recovery, this girl is amazing."

"As I suspected," he says as he looks at the data, "Let's visit our 'guest'." He then leaves the rest of the doctors to work on Usagi's health.

Hotaru's room, room #3

The professor gets to Hotaru's room just as she is fully conscious. There is a thick silence as they look at each other, this lasts for a few moments. Finally Professor Graislane decides to break the silence.

"Are you up to talking, and answering a few question, or would you prefer some more 'test'?" He says to her coming close to her. Hotaru glares at him with a partially alarmed and partially angry look.

"I'll take that as a 'no,'" says the professor as he motions for the aid to turn on one more of the machines. "If you are truly what they say you are, Princess of Darkness, then you'll know what it is to be at the brink of death...Don't make me go that far."

The professor goes to Hotaru with another scalpel, who is still strapped to the medical table is about to make an incision in the same place as Michiru's, but stops to say, "It doesn't have to be this way, just tell be all I need to know."

"What?" response Hotaru.

"Everything you know and then some," says the professor. Hotaru tells him everything that she knows.

"So she is a senshi," says the professor, "and a Queen of another time universe." Hotaru blinks in surprise.

"Ah, you didn't know?" says the professor.

"No," says Hotaru, her face goes from surprise to angry, again, "How did fine out?"

"Your fellow friends helped a lot," says the professor, filling a needle away from Hotaru's eyes sight.

"What?!" says Hotaru.

"Now, now, don't strain yourself," says the professor, "Get some rest, now." The professor gives some medication, in the form of a needle, Hotaru fells unconscious again.

Hotaru's flashback, Outers Senshi's home

"Moshi, moshi," says Hotaru. Hotaru answers the phone.

"Hotaru, hi, its me, Anua."

"Anua, hi, how are you?"

"Fine, would you like to come over and sped the night, tomorrow?"

"Sure."

"Good, come over around 6pm."

"Okay."

"Bye."

"Bye."

The next day, 5:30pm

Hotaru was in her room getting ready to go to Anua's house. Haruka and Michiru came to Hotaru's room.

"What's going on?" asks Michiru.

"I am going to a friend's house for the night," says Hotaru.

"Who?" asks Haruka.

"Anua," says Hotaru, giggling slightly.

"Be careful, Hotaru, Anua could possible the enemy," says Michiru, coolly.

"If anything happens I'll call," says Hotaru, as she turns around and pulls her selves down to reliving her commutation watch. Haruka and Michiru looked at Hotaru.

"Ah," says the both of them.

"Only in a really emergency with everything else use the phone, 'kay," says Haruka.

"I know, I'm having fun with you," says Hotaru.

"Do you a ride," says Haruka.

"No, I'll walk. See you later," says Hotaru.

"Bye, have a nice time," says Michiru.

"Bye," says Hotaru. Hotaru leaves for Anua's home.

Anua's house, around 6pm

Hotaru comes to Anua's. She presses the doorbell outside of the gate.

"Yes," says a mean voice.

"I...I...I am here to see Ms. Graislane," says Hotaru. There was dead silence for a few moments. Then the gate opens.

"Proceed," says the voice.

"Th...Thank you," says Hotaru, Hotaru goes though the gate and goes to the door. The door opens Hotaru goes in and sees Kasumi in a black dress and white lab coat.

"Hi, I'm Hotaru. Anua has invited me to spend the night."

"Yes, yes, Ms. Anua told me that you were coming over. Come this way." Kasumi leads Hotaru upstairs to a room. Kasumi opens the door and Hotaru goes into the room.

"Wait here," says Kasumi.

Kasumi was about to leave when Hotaru says to her, "This isn't Anua's room."

"It is now, her father moved from the down stairs room to here," says Kasumi.

"Where is Anua?" asks Hotaru.

"She is with her father, so stay put," says Kasumi. Hotaru nods and Kasumi leaves.

Hotaru starts to look around Anua's room. She spots something out of the corner of her eye. She turns toward it. She goes to the window and looks out the window. Uranus and Neptune were sitting on a building nearby the house. Neptune was reflecting the moonlight with her mirror. Hotaru hears a beeping sound, Hotaru opens her communicator watch.

"I thought this was supposed to be used in emergencies," says Hotaru.

"Sorry," says Neptune. "Were just making sure you are okay."

"Thanks, but you know I can take care of myself now," says Hotaru in an amused tone.

"We know," says Neptune, "Haruka is just having a hard time coping with that."

"Eh?" Uranus says teasingly, "Look who's talking."

Hotaru giggles and Neptune quickly says, "This isn't the best hiding place so we head off. Just remember, call us it you need anything, Bye."

"Bye," says Uranus, "Oh and be careful, not to use your powers."

"Yes, I'll be careful, see you guys later, bye."

Just then Kasumi comes back in, but before she does anything she looks at Hotaru suspiciously and asks, "Were you talking to someone?"

Hotaru blinks in surprise and quickly takes out a letter, "I was just reading a letter, from my pen pal and thinking of how to respond to her." She giggles nervously, "I guess I was thinking out loud."

Kasumi raises an eyebrow and says, "Alright, Anua will be in shortly."

Kasumi starts to leave when she says, "What your pen pal friend's name?"

"Uh...Chibi-Use," says Hotaru, smiling. Kasumi leaves.

Hotaru looks around room and finds several posters, including one of Michiru playing her violin, one of a motorcyclist with a big heart around the cyclist's helmet and a bunch of small hearts around the rest of the picture. The next poster that catches her eyes is one of the Three Lights. The thing that makes her notices them is that The Lights had all been given mustaches and made to look like monkeys. She looks around and finds an easel with an unfinished painting on it. The painting is of two worlds merging and though the painting is beautiful, it also shows an air of damage and destruction. This combination makes her fix her eyes on the painting so much that she barely noticed the tubes of paint and glasses of not so clear water. After a few minutes pass and she tears her eyes from the unfinished painting to a music stand. On it is a flute and two pieces of music both title 'Dance of the Fireflies.' One of the two is a flute solo, the other is a duet of a flute and violin, behind the music stand sat a violin on top of its case with the flute case next to it.

When Hotaru looks around a bit more she realizes that this room is a bit bigger that the one before, allowing more space for her bed, her long desk, her chair, her computer and keyboard. Hotaru was surprised to even find a music keyboard, she quickly realizes that it's connected to the computer and is amazed, and the bed she was using for the night. After looking around, Hotaru decides to sit down and wait on the second bed.

A few more minutes pass before the door opens. This time it's the professor holding an unconscious Anua with Kasumi behind them holding two IV bags, one clear, the other opaque black, both of which are attached to Anua's arm. The professor acknowledges Hotaru with a glance as he sets Anua down onto the bed. Kasumi arranges the IV bags so they will continue flowing on the IV stand.

"Don't worry she'll be up in a few hours," says the professor, "but I'm afraid there won't be any activities tonight. Perhaps tomorrow will be better. You are welcome to stay, if you like or you can come back tomorrow."

"I'll stay," says Hotaru. The professor nods and leaves along with Kasumi.

Several hours later

Hours had passed and Anua had woken up.

"Hey, Anua, how are you feeling?" asks Hotaru leaning closer to Anua and picking Anua's hand up.

"I'm okay, I'm sorry I forgot this," says Anua.

"It's okay. I'm just glad you woke up. I was afraid you wouldn't wake at all." Anua smiles.

"Do you want know what?"

"What?"

"I use to be alone too, until I met someone, who changed my whole life."

"Who was it?"

"Chibi-Use. She befriended me and she turned my hole life around and you want know something else?"

"You befriend me..."

"What? How did you know what I was going to say?"

"I...have...this gift...I could read other people's thoughts, move thing with my mind, make people do things against their will."

Hotaru sat there quietly as she realize something and says, "You read my mind, right?" Anua nods and Hotaru continues says, "Then you know who I am?"

Anua nods again and says, "Your true form is Sailor Saturn, and I know that your friends are also Sailor Senshi." Hotaru nods sadly.

"But I have another gift too..." Hotaru looks at Anua, "I am a Sailor Senshi too."

"What?"

"Sh...Please keep it a secret, Hotaru." Hotaru nods.

"Your gift of reading mind...did it get you in trouble...with your friends?"

"Yes, when I started to use my gift more then usual, my friends didn't trust me neither did the teachers. They all stop trusting me! But I will keep your secret and your friends' too. But aren't you afraid that I would take control of you mind and make you thinks against your will?"

"...Well...yes...But I trust you, Anua that you wouldn't." Anua nods and Hotaru continues, says, "Well if you read my mind you'll see I will keep you secret as well and be your friend." Anua does read Hotaru's mind and smiles.

"I have a gift too. I can heal wounds and cuts. I didn't have any friends at my school too, because of my gift, they thought it was gross. Chibi-Usa was the first person to say it wasn't gross."

"I have something to give you, I made it."

"Tell me where it is and I'll get it for you."

"Don't bother. Look behind you." Hotaru look behind and saw a pillow that looks like a butterfly, in the air. "You're doing is." Anua nods then Anua closes her eyes and she gets tense, Anua starts to breathe more heavily, then her body loses control. The butterfly pillow falls to the ground. Anua begin to shack uncontrollably and Hotaru turns back around to face Anua.

"Anua, what happening, Anua! Speak to me."

"I can't help it, control the shacking, its gets worse then this."

"What?"

"Seizures, call papa, please." Anua shack even more violently. Hotaru runs to the door and calls for help and then try to help Anua.

"I'm sorry," says Anua, now even weaker. Hotaru looks at Anua trying to think what do. The professor quickly enters with all the equipment he needs; he accidentally knocks Hotaru into her bed. The impact makes a chain reaction that causes one of the figurines (Sailor Moon figurine) to fall. Unfortunately it was falling over the professor (Sojo) and Anua. While Hotaru was still recovering from her fall, she uses her powers to move the figurine direction and slow it before it hit the ground so that it would land without even cracking. The professor sees this from the corner of his eyes and makes a mental note of it. After a while Anua condition stabilizes and the professor attend to the cut Hotaru got from hitting the edge of the bed. He uses swaps to clean the wound and puts a Band-Aid. He then goes to call Hotaru's guardians. A little while later Haruka and Michiru show up and pick up Hotaru.

In the car Hotaru explains what happed on their way home.

"And I was really looking forward to this," says Hotaru, taking off the Band-Aid.

"Another time," says Michiru.

Hotaru nods, but then remembers something, "Haruka-papa, she seems to be a big fan of yours."

Haruka is amused by this and says, "Watch out Michiru, you may get some competition."

"Oh and one more thing," says Hotaru as she leans toward Haruka and whispers something to her and then giggles. First Haruka is surprised, and then she creaks up and laughs uncontrollably.

"Really?" asks Haruka.

Hotaru giggles some more and says, "Yup." Haruka laughs some more but Michiru just blinks in confusion.

"What is so funny?" she asks.

"Go ahead Hotaru, tell her," says Haruka, still laughing. Hotaru snickers and then tells her what Anua had done to the Three Lights pictures.

"That's not really nice," says Michiru, "How would you feel if somebody did that to a picture of you."

"Sorry," says Hotaru holding the butterfly pillow in her arms.

Michiru then turn to Haruka, "And you! Don't you encourage behavior like that!"

Haruka sweatdrops and says, "Yes, ma'am."

"Good, now you two just go to your rooms when we get home and think about what you've done.

They both sweat drop and Haruka asks, "Um Michiru isn't that a bit to much?"

"What – was – that?!" asks Michiru.

"Nothing," says Haruka.

Hotaru then whispers to Haruka, "She's becoming too much of a mother."

"Tell me about it," whispers Haruka.

"Did you say something?" asks Michiru.

They both nervously shakes their heads and says, "No ma'am."

"Good." They then sigh in relief when they get home and they all go to sleep. But Hotaru just lay on her bed, thinking about what happened, before falling asleep.

End of Hotaru's Flashback

Rei's temple, a day later

Uranus called them in for an emergency meeting. Everyone arrives a bit before Uranus and Neptune and they anxiously wait for them to arrive.

"I wonder why they called us and where they have been," says Minako.

"Well, we will certainly know when they get there," says Ami. Uranus and Neptune come to Rei's temple, a bit tired. Everyone looks at them. Uranus and Neptune both detransform.

"What happen to both of you," says Makoto.

"We were captured by the enemy," says Haruka.

"The enemy as we expected is in the Four Star Area," says Michiru, holding her wound.

"Any word about Hotaru," says Taiki.

"No," says Haruka, "She's still in the enemy's hands".

"Michiru, you're bleeding!" says Rei.

"The enemy did this to her," says Haruka, "Rei, do you have a First Aid Kit."

"Yes, I'll be right back," says Rei. Rei leaves and comes back with a bowl of water, and a washcloth and the First Aid Kit.

"Thanks, Rei," says Haruka.

"You're welcome," says Rei. Haruka cleans and attends to Michiru's wounds.

"Where is Usagi?" asks Michiru.

"She hasn't been scene...sense the tour of Mokanhon School," says Rei.

"She could be in danger," says Luna. When Haruka is done with Michiru, she becomes very sick, she falls to the ground.

"Haruka?!" says Michiru as she grabs Haruka, "What's wrong?"

"I just felt...light headed," says Haruka, as she tries to get up. She fall again and loses conscious completely.

"Haruka, Haruka!!!" says Michiru, "Come on, let's get you the hospital. We'll see you guys later." Michiru picks up Haruka and starts to leave.

"Do you want help?" asks Makoto.

"No, that okay, we'll be fine," says Michiru, caring Haruka to the exit of the shrine. Michiru leave and the other look worried at each other.

On the way to the hospital

Haruka wakes up stilly and says, "Mich...Where...are we...going?" Haruka lean against Michiru as they walk.

"I'm taking you to the hospital."

"No, the enemy could be there."

"We will have to rick it."

"No. Don't, Michiru."

"I can't let you surfer. Not like this." Haruka weakly smiles as they turn the corner and they see; a black van park, waiting of something. They walk passed the black van, when the door opened. Kasumi sits in the captain seat with an evil smile.

"Hello, Sailor Senshi," says Kasumi, "Looks like your friend is sick." Michiru looks at Kasumi with uneasy/mean look on her face.

"You left before you could get the antidote," says Kasumi. Michiru starts to walk away again while helping Haruka to walk; several people come around them, blocking their retreat. Michiru sits Haruka down and gets ready to fight.

"Without the antidote your friend will die, come with me and your friend can get the antidote, you and your friend must come together to get it," says Kasumi. Michiru looks at Haruka. Haruka has her eyes closed and is breathing with some difficulty.

Haruka reopens her eyes and says, with also some difficulty, "Michiru, don't do it!" Michiru looks from Kasumi to Haruka and back again.

"All right," says Michiru.

"Good," says Kasumi, "Don't do anything that could put your and your friend's lives in danger. Put this on your head and your friend's head." Kasumi hands 2 metal rings (the same thing that on Hotaru). Michiru takes the rings and put one on her head. She takes the other one and goes over to Haruka. Haruka sees Michiru and starts to struggle to get up, but fails to do so.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," says Michiru, staring to put the ring on Haruka's head.

"Michiru, don't do this, there has to be another way," says Haruka, holding Michiru writs preventing Michiru from placing the ring on her head.

"There is not, your friend will die without the antidote," says Kasumi.

"I'm sorry, Haruka..." says Michiru, trying to put the ring on Haruka's head.

"No, Stop! Michiru," says Haruka, Haruka loses conscious again.

"Haruka?! Haruka!!" says Michiru.

"You better hurry. It looks like your friend is fading, fast," says Kasumi.

Michiru looks at Kasumi then at Haruka once again. She places the ring on Haruka's head, two from the surround group go over to Michiru and Haruka. They pick up Haruka and carry her to the van, Michiru follow. The two get Haruka in then Michiru gets in as well. Both Haruka and Michiru sit in the back seat with two guards on ether side of them, Kasumi and another guard in the middle seats and the driver and another guard seated in the front. Kasumi takes out a small control device and activate it. Michiru starts to fell weird then loses conscious. The van goes back to the Four Stars Area well the two are sleeping inside the van. Haruka and Michiru are placed in a holding cell. A dog 'Kero' watches the scene from a tree and goes to the temple.

Haruka's and Michiru's Flashback

Mockahon, High School Division, Haruka's, Michiru's, and Anua's class was doing a play 'Sleeping Beauty' for the talent show that was held every year. Haruka was fixing her hair, so it would be nice and neat for the play. She was dressed like a knight/prince including a sword on her right side. Michiru comes over in a very fancy black dress with a matching black vail in and around her hair and neck and a black crow sitting on her shoulder.

"You look very cute in your costume, Haruka." Haruka turns around and smiles.

"You too."

"To bad I didn't get the part of Aurora because then I could get a kiss of you."

"Me too." Haruka come around, places her hand on Michiru's shoulder and pets the crow, Michiru smile and giggles.

"I'm not doing it! I'm not wearing that dress!" says a voice. Haruka and Michiru look over to Anua sitting in her wheelchair still in her school uniform, looking very angry.

"I'm not, I'm not, I'm Not!" she says again.

"Why won't you wear it?" asks the teacher.

"I can't do it, its ugly," says Anua, "You can give me detention for all I care!"

"Fine," says the teacher, "I will get your father."

"What?" says Anua, "You can't do this!" The teacher leaves to get Pr. Graisland and in a few minutes later, Pr. Graisland and Kasumi comes back with the teacher behind them. Pr. Graisland goes over to Anua, goes behind her and pushes her.

"If you exclude us, I need to talk to her," says Pr. Graisland. He walks away with Anua. Ten minutes later Pr. Graisland comes back with Anua in a very beautiful peasant's dress, still in her wheelchair, Kasumi was caring Anua's crutches.

"Everything will be fine, child. Now, I'm going to back to watch. Break a leg," says Pr. Graisland, "Uh not really, Please." Pr. Graisland leaves with Kasumi behind him.

"I don't want to do this!!" says Anua, folding her arms. Haruka and Michiru smiles and finishes getting ready.

The Play "Sleeping Beauty" (The play was being acted out on the stage.) (The senshi, (inners and Starlights were in the audience watching the play.)

"Many years ago, there was once a King and Queen, who longed for a child.

One day, their wish came true, the queen bore a baby girl and they named her Princess Aurora. The King and Queen rejoiced in her birth and held a great banquet. All of the people in the county celebrated the birth of the princess," says Hotaru (the narrator), "Three good fairies came as well. The first fairy gave Princess Aurora the gift of beauty, the second fairy gave the gift of song. The third fairy was about to give a gift but there came laughter in the desist." The auditorium becomes dark expect one light, shinning on Michiru in the back. Michiru role was the evil witch. Michiru laughs and starts to walk towards to stage. When she reaches the stage the light go back up/on.

"Such a grand party...But it seems I did not receive an invitation. I thought my invitation might have been misplaced..." says Michiru.

"The evil witch came to the party but she was not invited," says Hotaru.

"We're so sorry but we had heard that you didn't attend parties," says a student, who was playing the part of the queen.

"True, I do hate parties. But I hate being ignored even more," says Michiru, "The precious princess finally born to this country. Let me give you a gift too. Princess Aurora...You will be beautiful, noble, and kind. Loved by the people of the country, you will know happiness...Until your 16th birthday, on that day you will prick your finger on the top spinning wheel and die." Michiru starts to laugh as thick fog comes from the left and right of the stage, surround her, and then she disappears (by a trap door).

"The King order that all spinning wheels shall be burned, the third fairy sees the King and Queen dismay and answers them with this," says Hotaru.

"I'm sorry your majesties but I can't do anything about the witch's curse excerpt with this; Instead of dying, the princess will fall into a deep sleep only to be awaken by true loves first kiss," says a student, who was playing the of the third fairy.

"To keep this from happing we should suggest that we take the princess until the day after her 16th birthday," says a student, who was playing of the first fairy. The three fairies bowed and leave with the baby princess.

"The fairies leaves with the baby princess in the first fairy's arms, never to be seen again until her 16th birthday," says Hotaru, "Many years pass till the eve of the princess birthday. The fairies had become three peasants women without using their fairy's powers. They nickname the Princess 'Brier Rose'." On the stage had been turn from the castle to a woodcarver's house and the woods.

Anua uses one of her crutches and was standing on the right of the stage near the woodcarver's house. Anua role was Aurora/Rose. Anua was pretend to pick wild barriers and was singing.

"(Music begins) Oooo, Oooo, I wound, I wonder, I wonder why each little bird has someone, to sing, sweet things to, a gay little love melody." Anua continues singing while Haruka comes form the left part of the stage near the woods. Haruka role was the price. At the end of the song Anua starts to walk towards the woods and starts another song.

"(Music begins) I know you, I walked with once upon a dream," sings Anua. Anua and Haruka bump into each other, Haruka holds firmly so she wouldn't fall.

"Young maiden we have met once upon a dream," says Haruka, acting like the prince. There was a pause, Haruka looks into Anua's eyes.

"Anua, your line," whispers Haruka, acting like herself. Anua's eyes role back and she gets tense, then her body loses control. Anua begin to shack uncontrollably. Haruka lies Anua down on to the stage. Michiru runs on the stage off to stage right to Haruka and Anua.

Pr. Graisland comes to the right of Michiru says, "She's having a seizure, Close the curtain. Now!" The curtain close as Pr. Graisland holds Anua's head to keep from jerk to wildly.

"Hold her arms down," orders Pr. Graisland to Haruka and Michiru. Haruka and Michiru does so as Anua continues to shack because of the seizure. Anua soon stops having the seizure, Pr. Graisland picks up Anua and cares her to stage right.

"Get someone else to play her part," he says as he leaves. Haruka and Michiru look at each other then to Pr. Graisland and Anua. Pr. Graisland left with Anua sleeping in her wheelchair. They continue with the play without Anua as Michiru as being the princess.

Days later

Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, the inners with Usagi, Luna and Artemis, and the Starlights were walking towards Anua's house. Hotaru was caring some flowers to give to Anua. They arrive at Anua's and Kasumi let them in. Kasumi leads the sailor senshi to the waiting room/family room then goes and tell the professor about Anua's visitors.

"Haruka-papa, There are no family picture," says Hotaru, with the flowers on her lap, looking around the room.

"You're right," says Haruka, "I wonder why."

"Well it's not our business to know, maybe they just don't have time," says Michiru as they all nodded. Pr. Graisland comes down the stairs with a limp Anua in his arms, fully awake. Kasumi right behind them, caring an IV holder with two clear IV bags connected to Anua via a tube surgery implanted in her arm and a blanket. Pr. Graisland places Anua in an arm chair while Kasumi places the IV holder down and makes sure that the IVs were still flowing, she hands Pr. Graisland the blanket and he places the blanket on Anua's lap.

"One hour and only one hour, All right?" says Pr. Graisland.

"Yes papa," says Anua, very weakly. Pr. Graisland and Kasumi leaves. Anua watch them leaving, then turns her attention to the senshi.

"You wanted to see me?" asks Anua.

"Yes," says Usagi as everyone nods.

Hotaru gets up and walks over to Anua and gives her the flowers and says, "Here, these are for you."

"Thank you," says Anua, taking the flowers.

"Are you feeling better, Anua. You haven't been in school for the past few days," says Haruka.

"Yes, a little," says Anua looking down at the flowers. A tear falls from Anua's eye and splashes a flower petal.

"What wrong?" asks Usagi coming over to Anua and kneeling in front of Anua.

"Nothing," says Anua, "I think...I think you should leave."

"Why?" asks Hotaru.

"I'm tired," says Anua, "You should just leave."

"But it hasn't been an hour," says Usagi, checking the wall clock.

"Uh, it slow, its about 45 minutes slow," says Anua, pointing to the wall clock.

"No it hasn't," says Minako, checking her wristwatch, "It only has been 5 minutes."

Anua sighs and tapping her finger on the armchair to the sound of the wall clock, stops and says, "Please, leave. Though I would like to sit and chat, if I get enough rest throughout today, I might be able to go to school tomorrow...to become..."

"To become what?" asks Ami. They all look at Anua.

"...Oh, hahahaha, I didn't get that far yet." Anua puts her hand in the back of the head, everyone sweatdrops and sighs.

"Well if you want us to go, we'll go," says Michiru. Everyone nods and gets up.

"Here, Anua," says Seiya, handing Anua a ticket to the dismay of Taiki and Yaten, "It's to our next concert and if your are feeling better, you can play with us."

Yaten shrugs and says, "Michiru is playing with us and everyone in this room has a ticket."

"Thank you," says Anua. All the senshi start to leave, Haruka being the last to leave.

Haruka sees Pr. Graislane come back in taking the ticket from Anua's hand ripping up the ticket into several pieces and says, "You may not go. You will stay here, Child. You have lost your freedom." He leaves, leaving Anua alone, in the darkness.

"I want to go, I want to go, Papa!" says/screams Anua, starts to cry. Haruka closes the door and leaves.

On the way home

The senshi walk home. Haruka starts to wonder what Anua was talking about.

Michiru looks at Haruka and asks, "What worrying you, Haruka?"

"Well before I closed the door I saw Anua's father tearing up the ticket that you three gave her and saying that she had lost her freedom," says Haruka.

"Lost her freedom? What does that mean?" asks Usagi.

"Is there something we can do?" asks Minako.

"No," says Haruka.

"She been having a lot of seizure lately, some of them worse then others, maybe that's why," says Michiru.

Hotaru nods and says, "I only count 2 so far." Using her finger to count.

"There probable more we don't know about," says Haruka.

"Can they kill?" asks Makoto.

"Yes, they can kill," says Ami, "Uncontrollable shacking, there is something wrong with the brain."

"I had seizure, long ago," says Hotaru.

"Yeah, but you were possessed during that time too," says Haruka.

Hotaru smiles, nods and says, "She as weak as me."

"I think she's even weaker then you," says Haruka, "She does spend most of her time in a wheelchair and when she isn't she is ether using crutches or a walker. She always needs assistance, You don't."

"But she does all these actives," says Usagi.

"From playing in the orchestra to who knows what," says Rei.

"She scored higher then anyone else including Taiki," says Ami.

"Looks who's talking...she scored higher then you too," says Taiki. Ami blushes and everyone laughs.

"I still wish I knew what Anua meant by losing her freedom," says Haruka.

"Well if she shows up tomorrow we'll find out," says Michiru. They reach the crossroads and they go their separate ways.

End of Michiru's and Haruka's flashback

Usagi's cell

Usagi was still sleeping in her cell.

Inside Usagi's mind

Usagi (the real Usagi) was in a bluish world, she look around and sees herself. The self-image changes to a woman with long beautiful golden-brown hair with a scar through her right eye, and holding a crutch.

"Who are you?" Usagi hears herself say, echoing in the bluish world.

"I am I, who is your shadow, the same we are, though we look different we are the same, Queen of this world, Queen of an alternate, counter part world. The fate of our world hangs in the balance, one can't exist without the other."

"We are Queens but what is you name?"

"Ceanna Crez, Queen of the Mordansian Kingdom formally knows as Anua Graisland."

"What?! Cool! But how did we meet?"

"It's a long story but it will have to wait, your friends are in danger, as well as our worlds."

"Yeah, but we were captured."

"I learned many years ago, before I met you, before I took the role as Queen when I was a teenage girl I learn I was a Sailor Senshi, like yourself, I was called Sailor M and I protected my planted will my friends. One of my powers is called 'Astral projection'. Because I am in you, you can use this power."

"How does it work?"

"We will project our form to where ever we want to go but our physical body will stay where it is now."

"Lets do this!"

"All right."

Hotaru's cell

Hotaru is still strap to the medical table and was asleep. She hears a friendly voice and wakes up to see Sailor Moon in Sailor M's sailor suit.

"Sailor Moon?!" says Hotaru.

"Yes, Let's get out of here," says Moon.

"Wait," says Hotaru, "Haruka and Michiru are here too."

"Okay, then lets go save them too."

"Right. Saturn Crystal Power! Make UP!" says Hotaru. Hotaru transforms and poses. Saturn and Moon take off running down the hallway to another holding cell.

Michiru's and Haruka's holding cell.

Saturn and Moon come in to see both Haruka and Michiru strapped to two different medical tables. Saturn first attends to Haruka's injuries then to Michiru's injuries. Saturn un-straps Michiru while Moon un-straps Haruka. Haruka wakes up to Moon's face and Michiru wakes up to Saturn's face.

"Sailor Moon, Saturn," says Haruka and Michiru.

"Okay what going on?" asks Haruka, "Why do you look like Sailor M?"

"It a long story," says Moon, "When we have the time I'll tell you, but for right now, let get out of here." Haruka and Michiru nod to each other.

"Uranus Crystal Power, Make Up!" says Haruka.

"Neptune Crystal Power, Make Up!" says Michiru. They both transform and pose. All four starts to run down the long hallway. They soon arrive at a door, locked several different ways.

"World Shacking, Deep Submerge," says Uranus and Neptune. Both attacks hit the door head on but the door still stands.

"What?" says Uranus, "Not even a scratch on it, our attacks hit it dead on. Neptune..." Uranus turns toward Neptune, Saturn, and Moon. Sailor Moon materializes Sailor M's staff. (A long silver staff on top off it is a three points, suspend at the three points is a diamond, in the diamond is a crescent moon with a star.) Sailor Moon starts twisting the staff in the air.

"Celestial Ray!" says Sailor Moon. The crescent moon-star starts to spin inside the crystal, on top of the staff. The crystal glows and shots out energy towards the door but nothing happen. There is a 12-second delay, in that delay Uranus and Neptune attack again. All three attacks shatter the door. An alarm sounds and the four start running again. They soon arrive outside, closer to their freedom. They run to the gate and Saturn cut the gate in two. The outers walk though the gate. Saturn notices that Moon didn't go with them.

"Sailor Moon?!" says Saturn. Neptune and Uranus turn around to see Moon just standing there about 5 meters behind them inside the main gate.

"Come on, Sailor Moon," says Neptune, "Let's get out of here!"

"No!" says Moon, "I can't, go ahead with out me! Get out of here!"

"Not without you," says Uranus, running back to get Moon.

"Sailor Uranus, please go!" says Moon, back away of Uranus. Uranus get to Moon, picks her up, and carrying her to the gate. Uranus rejoins Neptune and Saturn, they run out of the gate. Two meters away of the gate Sailor Moon disappears.

"Sailor Moon?!" says Uranus.

"Sailor Moon?!!" says Neptune and Saturn.

"PRINCESS?!!!" yells the outer Senshi. The enemy starts arriving at the gate, Neptune points to the top of a building near the school. The outers jump on to the top of the building and watch the scene below.

"Where did they go?" asks the first enemy.

"They were just here," says the second enemy.

"Pr. Graisland won't be pleased about this, I'll give the report, you guys kept looking for them," says the third enemy.

"Yes sir," says the first and second enemy. The two run in two different ways to search for the outer senshi.

"Professor, sir," says the third enemy using walky-talky.

"What is it?" asks the professor.

"All 4 escaped, we're looking for them sir."

"Good, kept looking, do not call me again unless you have them, understand!"

"Yes sir."

"Wait."

"Sir?"

"You said all 4 escaped."

"Yes sir, I did."

"That impossible. I am look at the 4 one. Are you sure?"

"Uh yes sir."

"Still, kept looking"

"Yes sir!" The third enemy turned off the walky-talky and joined the search. The enemy leaves the scene.

"That was close," says Saturn.

"Yes, that was close," says Uranus, "The enemy said that he was looking at the fourth one."

"Sailor Moon," says Neptune, "Something is wrong. Did she save us or not?"

"But she help us escape then she disappear, what's going..." says Saturn. Saturn disappears from the rooftop.

"Sailor Saturn?!!" says Uranus and Neptune.

"Where did she go?" asks Uranus.

"She was just here!" says Neptune, looking around the rooftop. The inners, Starlights, and the cats arrive on top of the building.

"Uranus, Neptune," says everyone.

"We came to rescue you," says Fighter.

"How did you find that we needed to be rescued?" asks Uranus.

"By him," says Maker, she points to Mars, holding a dog.

"He told us that you were captured by the enemy when you were on the way to the hospital," says Healer. Uranus looks at the dog. She walks over to Mars and the dog.

The dog bows and says, "I'm glad to see you free, Uranus, Neptune." Uranus puts her hand on her hip and with the other scratch his chin.

"Kero!"

"Hello!"

A bright light catches everyone attention. Three people stand in the light. The light fads as the three people walk towards the group. The first one is taller then the other two, as the two are about the same size.

"Sailor Pluto, Chibi-Moon, Saturn," says everyone.

"Saturn?! Where did you go? What happened?" asks Uranus, "You just disappeared. Wait a minute, you're taller?"

"So is Chibi-Moon?!" says Neptune.

"All will be explain, soon," says Saturn.

"Yes it will," says Pluto.

"Papa," says a little dog, jumping out of a bag that Chibi-moon was carrying.

"Jennifer," says Kero, jumping out of Mars' arms.

"I miss you so much," says Jennifer.

"Me too," says Kero. Diana jumps off of Chibi-Moon's head, smiles and goes to Luna and Artemis. Kero stops licking his daughter's face and turns to Pluto and bows.

"The prophecy it's coming true," says Kero.

"It never ended, Kero," says Pluto.

"But Queen Ceanna ended the link between the Sailor Senshi and the Great Council," says Jennifer.

"No, it never ended," says Pluto, again.

"Okay, What is going on!" says Uranus.

Kero nods and Pluto sends her Garnet Orb into the sky and a moon-star symbols appears on Kero's forehead, it starts to glow, it shoots a bean of light to the Garnet Orb. It shows many scenes from the last few months. (Kero and Pluto trade off talking.)

Kero starts, "A few months ago, Princess Serenity and Neo-Princess Serenity accidentally travel though time to the 40th century, waking up my master, Ceanna Crez, Queen of the 40th century. The Queen's step-bother, Tony, captured Princess Serenity, trying to make her fall in love with him. We rescue her and she went back home."

Pluto starts, "Queen Ceanna soon arrived here trying to fix a rupture in time and space. So Queen Ceanna could go back to her world, we helped her fight against Chaos. Queen Ceanna soon went home."

Kero starts, "Princess Serenity was soon captured again by Tony, and once again we rescue her and she went home again. Before she left she received a crystal necklace from Queen Ceanna."

Pluto starts, "The two kept in touch and during a routine assignment they encountered an accident which caused the two to merge. It was then that we realized the new Chaos incarnate, Kay, Queen Ceanna's step-sister."

Kero starts, "We found out that we all have counter-parts and about the prophecy. We found away to merge them back out again, Princess Serenity stayed in the 40th century to help celebrate the defeat of the enemy."

Pluto starts, "When it was time to go, Queen Ceanna helped Princess Serenity back home. Queen Ceanna was come back to the Time Gate when something we didn't expect to happen. The space ship/Flag ship 'White Star One' was destroyed all of the crew was killed except Kero and Ceanna." The Garnet Orb comes back to Pluto and she places it back on her staff.

"Well you gave us a little bit the history about what happen, but what happened to our memories, we should have remember what happened," says Uranus.

"Un excuse me but what about us," says Healer, "Do we have a part in this?"

"..." Pluto and Kero sweatdrop and look at each other.

"Couple times," says Kero.

"Eh?" says Fighter, look confused.

"Drop it," says Kero.

"So why can't we remember what had happen?" asks Uranus.

"It was because your memories were erase by Queen Ceanna," says Pluto.

"Oh," says Uranus.

"Saturn, Why do you look different and yet the same," says Neptune.

"Well, I am Sailor Saturn, but there is something more inside of me," says Saturn.

"Great, you're possessed again," says Uranus.

"Uranus, Now is not a good time for this!" says Neptune.

"Sorry. Pluto, what is the prophecy?" asks Uranus.

"It was said that one day the queens of two worlds would meet, their courts would soon come to join their queen. But a catastrophe occurred, the worlds were merge. Beginning with the queens, then the courts and finally the worlds, though the world would take longer once they completely merged both worlds would be destroyed," says Pluto.

"Is there anyway to stop it from happening?" asks Mars.

Pluto shacks her head and says, "I don't know." All the Senshi become unhappy.

"We must go, the enemy is coming back, we have to leave," says Saturn. They go into the circle and use Sailor Teleport.

Rei's Temple

The senshi arrive at Rei's temple to see Usagi waiting for them.

"Hey, guys," says Usagi. The inners, outers, Starlights, and the cats except for Pluto, Chibi-Moon, and Saturn know it was not the real Usagi. Mars, Uranus, Neptune sense an evil energy in the area.

"I'm glad to see all right," says Usagi.

"Don't worry about us, We're just glad to see that you made it out as well," says Venus as Jupiter, Mercury agree.

"Rei, don't be such a worrywart, everything will be fine," says Usagi.

"She doesn't call me that when I am transformed," thinks Mars.

Saturn reads this from Mars and telepathy says to Neptune, "It's not our princess, use your mirror to find the true form for this thing." Neptune is surprise by this, but she doesn't show it.

"Submarine Reflection!" yells Neptune. The attack hits dead on, revealing that it was a daemon/shadow's true form and not Usagi.

"So you saw threw my shape. You will regret that sailor senshi," says the daemon. The daemon starts attacking the senshi. The senshi avoid the attack and/or attack as well. None of the senshi attacks work. Another attack comes out of nowhere and destroys the daemon. Everyone looks to the source of the attack and finds Sailor Moon at the entrance holding her transformation broach and Anua's transformation necklace.

"I'm sorry, I can't stay long," says Sailor Moon, "Please, protect these, they are very dear to me." She then hands Mars the broach and necklace. Mars feels Usagi's glow, as well as another spirit. She takes the items, stunned as they have a slight contact, she feels Anua as well.

Sailor Moon/Usagi has barely enough time says, "Goodbye," before vanishing again.

"Sailor Moon?!" Uranus cries out.

Mars all of the sudden mummers and says, "Anua...Anua was there." Mars turns to Pluto, "Pluto, what just happen? I felt Usagi there, but she wasn't... and Anua, she was there too. What's going on?"

"It's true when you say Anua was there too. A while ago a shadow attacked the two, causing the counterparts to merge once again," says Pluto.

"Wait? Again? But you said Usagi had only merged with Queen Ceanna so far!" exclaims Venus.

"That's right," says Kero, "Anua or Sailor M, is in fact my master, Queen Ceanna."

"And because they merged," Pluto add, "Sailor Moon's attack variety was broadened. She now had access to Sailor M's attacks."

"The one you just saw was Astral Projection, projecting one's form to aid ones teammates while physically staying in one place," explains Kero.

"So what you're saying," begins Uranus, "Is that she's still in there?!"

"She never left did she?" asks Neptune and Pluto nods her head sadly.

"Then, we have to go!" says a very agitated Uranus as she head to the door only to be stopped by Pluto, Fighter, Jupiter, and Neptune.

"Uranus, listen to me, what good would it be if we went now," says Neptune, "There is no doubt that they are still looking for us. Even if you did manage to rescue her, you yourself would just be caught again!"

Uranus looks down and says, "I don't care."

"You may not," says Pluto, "But you know her, she'll risk her life to get you out again." Uranus stops struggling, goes to her knees and pounds the floor with her fist.

Fighter puts her hand on Uranus' shoulder and says, "We'll get her out, I promise," she then looks at everyone else, "Right?"

"Right!"

"But we are going to need a plan," says Jupiter.

"I know," explains Venus, "We could use the guardians pets to distract them while we get Usagi."

All the guardians pets sweatdrops and says, "NO!!"

"Then how about this, our fastest can lure the guards out where we can all attack them at once, knocking them out, and giving us enough time get Usagi before they get back up."

Everyone is startled at the clarity of Venus' plan as Kero says, "That may just work."

"But you guys, are you ready for another battle," says Mercury, "I doubt they would leave her unattended."

"Shadows?" asks Neptune.

"Well there is only one way to find out," says Maker.

"You want to go unprepared?" asks Mercury.

"This is as good as it's going to get," says Fighter.

"I'm afraid she's right," says Saturn, "We don't have much time either." They nod and use Sailor Teleport again to go on a rooftop nearby the 4 Stars Area.

Pluto looks at Uranus and Neptune and asks, "Are you sure about this?"

Neptune nods and Uranus says, "Yes, we're positive." Uranus and Neptune nod to each other and go to the enemy.

"Looking for us?" smirks Uranus.

"Get them!" yells one of the enemies.

"Come get us boys," says Neptune. Uranus and Neptune ran as fast as they could but not losing sight of the enemy, they soon arrive back on the roof. The enemies arrive after them, to see all the senshi looking like they were ready to fight.

"Silent Wall Surround," yells Saturn. All of the enemy that followed Uranus and Neptune were trap in a force field created by Saturn.

"That will kept them for now, but it won't last long," says Saturn, "Lets go." They all nod and head to get Usagi/Anua.

Usagi's holding cell

The senshi enter a darken room. A solo light shinning on Usagi, deathly still lying on table.

"Usagi!" cries Uranus. Uranus runs to Usagi, and picks her up. She very cautiously backs up with Usagi in her arms, and gets back to the others. The senshi walk out of the enemy's place without any other problems. They go back to Rei's temple.

"That was too easy, if you ask me," says Fighter.

"Yes it was," says Uranus, lying the still unconscious Usagi on the bed, "Something isn't right!"

"She's not waking up," says Neptune. The senshi gather around Usagi. Uranus picks up and holds Usagi's hand.

"What happen to all the guards. No guards, nothing," says Mars.

"And no shadows," says Venus.

"Usagi, Odango Atama," says Uranus, "Wake up Please!"

"Usagi!" says Mars, "Wake up. I have your broach and Anua's necklace, they're safe and sound. Please open your eyes, please wake up." Usagi's eyes open, her eyes are not like what they normally are, but haze over.

"Usagi!!" says everyone. Everyone rejoiced but everyone became worried again. Usagi sits up, gets out of bed and walks out of the room towards the enters to the temple.

"Usagi?!" says Uranus. Everyone follows Usagi to the enters. Usagi walks like she was under a trance. Uranus runs to catch her and manage to get her hands on Usagi, Uranus turns Usagi around so she was face her, she was shocked to what she saw. Usagi's right eye and right ear was bleeding. Uranus lets go in shocked and Usagi keeps walking.

"Usagi! You're bleeding," says Uranus as she looks at Usagi then at Neptune and the other senshi with concerned eyes.

"Princess," says Saturn, "Please come back!" Usagi walks to the enters, then stops, and turns around to the senshi, looking down at the ground. Three people come up the stairs and stand next to Usagi. One of them was holding a control device.

"Good Day, Sailor Senshi," says the man holding the control device, "I came to take her back."

"Graislane!" says Uranus.

"What did you do to her?" asks Neptune.

"Made her more succeed able to reasoning," says Graislane.

"You Monster!" says Mars. Graislane laughs, puts his hand on Usagi's shoulder. Usagi turns around to walk down the stairs.

"Give her back to us. Now!" says Venus.

"Sorry, ladies, that won't happen!" says Graislane, "Kill!" Several shadows shapes form on the ground and surround them. Kero dodges an attack and runs to Graislane but was reflected by an invisible force field forcing Kero to be thrown backwards into a tree. Kero became injured when he hits the tree and falls to the ground, at the same time Luna falls to the ground with the same injuries as Kero.

The senshi look toward the fallen guardians but before they can say anything the shadows attack them. The first attack they manage to dodge as Venus counters. They ended up being split, but a look from Pluto told them that they needed to be together. The inners look at each other and quickly rejoin the outers and Starlights, managing to avoid most of the attack thrown to separate them and counter the others. But as soon they were one group again the shadows shoot one big attack in the middle of the group, hoping to hit everyone. Saturn's symbol glows in response as a shield is created around them. The shield stays up as the attacks continue. That whole time Saturn tries to get to Usagi, telepathic.

"Usagi, wake up, you're stronger than this. Please, Usagi, we need you." Saturn silently pleads. There is a flicker of a response in Usagi's eyes. "Good, but we're running out of time. Get ready!" Saturn then glances at Pluto who nods. Professor Graislane sees this flicker too and is about to grab her when Pluto's attack goes through the shield and throws the professor back but after a moment it's obvious that he isn't hurt. The shield vanishes and the inners are fighting off the shadows, but with no luck as Saturn is concentrating on helping Usagi free. The ring around Usagi's head appears and cracks and the professor is about to attack when he is once again thrown back, this time by the combined attacks of Uranus and Neptune. This forces him on his knees and while he is recovering Usagi manages to break free.

As soon as she is free, Usagi jump and does a double back flip in the air, transforming in the process to join the others. She lands gracefully on her feet with a staff in her hand. Everyone is shocked and Mars makes a note to herself to ask Usagi how she got the broach and necklace from her and the perfect back flip.

"You nearly had me, but if you know who I am you should know I wouldn't stand for it. I am pretty soldier Sailor Moon, defender of these universes, and in their names I will punish you!" Sailor Moon twirls the staff and chants, "Celestial Ray!" The attack reveals the shadow's true form and destroying some of them in the process. The rest of the senshi were getting ready to attack again when the shadows are called back, leaving the professor defenseless.

The professor growls about being so close and says to the senshi, "This isn't over." Before disappearing himself.

Once it's clear that it's over Chibi-Moon runs up to Sailor Moon and hugs her tightly. Sailor Moon hugs her back and squeezes her reassuringly. The senshi waits while and those who have already merged check to make sure the coast is clear. Once they know it's safe they detransform and head back home.

They all agree that it's best for Usagi to stay at the outers' home, where she would be safe, they all escort the group there and offer to stay and keep a lookout for enemies. Setsuna reminds them that it's in the middle of week and it would look suspicious if they didn't get to class.

"We'll have a meeting here tomorrow, so we'll discuss things then, until then, I suggest you get some rest," says Setsuna. The inners, and Starlighs go their ways home.

To be continued...

The prophecy is suppose to say universes not worlds
