Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon

It was night a day after Serena and the generals had arrived in Tokyo. Serena had moved them into a huge house she simply commented that she had bought it for a case like this. It was a 6-bedroom house with 2 baths and 2 kitchens.

The generals had made themselves at home while Serena did a little catch up on the place. Now she was Sailor Silver Moon of Destiny with powers over shadows everywhere. She had sensed a monster nearby and decided to see how the scouts and Tuxedo Mask had fared without her.

"WE HAVE TO PULL BACK!" Mercury screamed at Mars, "ITS TOO STRONG WE'LL GET KILLED IF WE KEEP FIGHTING!" "NO I WON'T GIVE UP THIS EAISLY!" Mars yelled back but at that moment the monster shot out a string of vines that entangled the 4 scouts and Tuxedo Mask and started to squeeze the life out of them.

When they thought that Mercury was right something whipped out of nowhere and in a split second sliced the vines right from them. "What the…" Venus said as they straightened.

Then they turned to see what had saved them and there jaws dropped. There stood Sailor Moon but different. She was in a pure black Sailor outfit and skirt all outlined in silver. Knee high black boots with silver crescent moons and lining. Elbow length gloves pure black and a silver tiara with a black gem in the center. In her hand was a long black staff with a large silver crescent moon at the top.

She didn't even glance at them as the monster barreled towards her. In a split second she moved, jumped and slammed her foot into the monster's side with frightening force slamming the monster into a brick wall and it disappearing.

She landed with ease and straightened. "Why did you return?" Mars asked coolly. "Sailor Moon turned and crystal blue eyes meant hard black ones, "I returned because I feared for Tokyo when I felt a surge of evil power all the way across the world.

I have not come to help any of you just to let you know." And with that she snapped her fingers and disappeared in a whiff of shadows leaving behind three astonished scouts, a masked man, and a pissed off woman.

When Serena entered her house she was fuming so bad that shadows were jumping restlessly in the dark corners. Then a stream of white power wrapped around her, calming her.

Malachite walked in his palm raised. Serena took a deep breath and calmed down. The white power disappeared. "You ok?" Malachite asked when her reached her. "Yeah just royally pissed.'

The next morning Serena walked into Blue Moon Café and sat down at the counter. She was dressed to kill, punk style, in black cargos and a tight emerald sleeveless shirt. Her silver hair was tied back in a tight braid.

When she sat down the black haired man a few seats down glanced up and stared. Andrew came over to get her order and stopped, his eyes widening, "Serena?" he asked incredulity.

"It's been awhile Andrew."
