LITTLE KID! GET IT AWAY!

Setsuna:watches as Carter is still running from Chibi Chibi: This is mildly amusing...

Haruka:while munching on popcorn: Mildly? Usually you have to pay for something this amusing.

Hotaru: Maybe we should continue on with the story.

Usagi: I'll do the disclaimer! We are not owned by Carter!

Kaijin: I, however, along with the other created characters, are owned by Carter!

Plot: Along with me I think...

Seiya: This story has a plot?

Taiki: Not yet...

Yaten: Give it time...either the plot will reveal itself or the readers will lose the minutes or hours, however long it takes them to read this fic, of their lives...

HEY!


Kai walked down the street, his navy blue school uniform sitting well on his frame. It was nearly identical to the Starlights school uniforms they had worn except it was navy. His bag was slung over his left shoulder. Reno was dressed in a similar uniform except his almost looked black and it hung open in the front.

Suiren was walking on the other side of her twin, talking animatedly with Chibi-Usa. Kikan was on the other side of Usagi and Seiya's daughter, joining in every so often. On the other side of Reno was Kori, Sky and Ami's daughter. They were all close to the same age, Kai and Suiren being the eldest. Next was Kori followed by Kikan and her twin brother Reno, then Chibi-Usa.

"Leave me alone!" a voice commanded. The six teens turned and saw a teenage girl about their age with golden blonde hair being pestered by six large bullies.

Kai's eyes narrowed and Suiren could feel her twin's desire to fight. "Kai…" she said softly in warning.

"I'm just going over to chat with them," Kai return, heading into the schoolyard.

Suiren sighed. "That's what I'm afraid of," she muttered. She and the others quickly followed him.

"Hey!" Kai called over to the bullies. They turned and glared at him.

"What do you want Tenno?" one growled.

"Leave her alone," Kai ordered.

"Or what boy? One more fight and you're out of here," another smirked.

"I'll take my chances with them," the girl said.

"No. The runt here wants a fight. So we'll fight," the leader said. The six bullies surrounded him.

Kai lowered his sunglasses to get a better look at the six. "Well…this is almost a fair fight," he said.

"Kai…" Chibi-Usa began.

"I know. I'll go easy on them," he replied. He slid his feet into a fighting stance and held his right hand behind his back.

"Why you little!" two of the bullies snarled. They charged in and Kai easily dodged their attacks, making them fight each other.

"That's enough!" a commanding voice bellowed.

The fight stopped and the bullies pointed at Kai. "He started it!" they chorused together, innocent looks on their faces.

"No he didn't," the teacher said. "I was watching from my classroom window as was the principal. You six are coming with me. Tenno-san, try to stay out of trouble today," she said.

Kai nodded, picking up his bag. "Hai Sensei," he said. (Yes teacher)

Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi

Kai calmly ate his lunch on the roof of the school, enjoying the sun on his face. He looked up as someone approached him. "Thanks for the help earlier," the girl said.

Kai shrugged. "It was nothing." He set his chopsticks down and held out his hand. "Tenno Kaijin."

She took his hand. "Taiyo Kira," she returned.

"You're new, right?" he asked, motioning for her to sit down.

She sat across from him and nodded. "I just moved from New York," she said. She frowned and stared at him. "Tenno? As in the racer's son?"

Kai smiled. "Guilty," he said. "So why the move across the globe?"

She shrugged. "Too many painful memories."

"Sorry," he said.

"It's all right. Well…that's part of the reason I moved out here."

"And the other?" he asked with a grin.

"I've been a bit of a fan of the Sailor Senshi. Even though I know they aren't as active now as they have been in the past, I'd love to see one," Kira said.

"Might get a chance," Kai said. "Strange goings on have been popping up. And with how reclusive the Senshi can be…well…who knows?"

"One can hope I guess," Kira said.

Kai began to say something when he trailed off, staring in horror behind Kira. The teenage girl turned and staggered backwards. Kai stood in front of her, glaring at the demon. "I know how eager you are to meet the Senshi, but perhaps it might prove wiser to maybe…"

"Run?" she finished.

"I was going to say 'flee' but run sounds better." They turned and ran for the stairs. Kira entered the stairwell first when the demon slammed into the roof, shutting and blocking the door. Kai scrambled backwards as the demon stalked him, hungrily licking its vicious looking teeth.

It charged forward and Kai scrambled out of the way, preparing to activate the gauntlet when a voice rang out, "Solar Flare!" A beam of yellow energy slammed into the demon's right shoulder away from Kai.

"What the…" Kai muttered.

A figure in a sailor fuku appeared. Her skirt and bows were gold, the image of a sunburst on the front bow, the choker, and the tiara. "Bringer of light to darkness, I am the Senshi of the Sun, Sailor Phoenix!" the figure informed the demon.

"Kill…" the demon snarled and lunged at Phoenix.

"Solar Burst!" she cried. A massive golden beam slammed into the demon and vaporized it. She turned to Kai. "Are you all right?"

"Yeah…thanks…" he said. She leapt away, leaving Kai alone on the roof. "Whoa…this definitely can't be good if a new Senshi has shown up…" he muttered.

Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi

"And she called herself Sailor Phoenix?" Ami asked.

Kai nodded. "Yeah. She destroyed the demon like it was just a bug or something she was smashing. After that was done she vanished."

"So there's another Senshi we didn't know about?" Makoto asked.

"Are we even sure she's from this solar system?" Haruka asked.

"Aside from obvious color changes to her fuku, it looked exactly like yours," he said to the Senshi.

"Nevertheless, we should still be cautious," Michiru said. "Sailor Senshi have been our enemies before."

"I didn't sense anything malevolent from her," Kai said.

"No surprise there," Suiren giggled. He glared at her.

"Guys, settle," Haruka ordered.

"We need to try and find her to see if she can help us," Usagi said.

"Yeah but, where do we even start to look?" Seiya asked.

"Wherever there's trouble," Hotaru said.

Kai looked down at his watch. "I need to get back home and do some studying," he said, rising to his feet. He grabbed his bag and nodded in goodbye. He left Ami and Sky's apartment and walked out of the building, nearly bumping into someone. "Sumimasen!" he exclaimed, steadying her. "Kira!" he exclaimed. (Sorry)

"Kaijin," she said.

"Please, Kai," he said.

"I am glad you're all right after that…thing attacked," she said.

He smiled. "Yeah well…I'm just lucky like that…especially when that new Senshi showed up."

She arched a brow. "New Sailor Senshi? You're kidding!"

He shook his head. "Nope. She saved my life. I'd like to say thanks again, but I don't know where to find her."

Kira shrugged. "Well you could always put yourself in danger again."

He snorted. "I don't think that'd be a good idea," he grinned. "I'd like to talk more but I need to get home and study."

Kira nodded. "I'll see you in school tomorrow."

He nodded with a smile and headed down the street. He rounded the corner and looked up as screams met his ears. His eyes narrowed when he saw the demon attacking innocent bystanders. He swiftly ducked into an alley and transformed into Arashi.

He ran out, the orb on the gauntlet flaring blue. A katana with an elaborate hilt appeared in his hand. He slammed it into the demon, sending it flying back. He pulled the man and woman to their feet. "Get out of here now!" he ordered them. The two nodded and ran off.

Arashi turned back to the demon as it began rising to its feet. It roared at him and charged in. Arashi leapt over it and slashed it in the back. The creature snarled in pain and viciously backhanded the Guardian. He crashed heavily into a wall.

"Solar Flare!"

Arashi watched as the golden light slammed into the demon. He was immediately on his feet and slammed his katana into the demon several times, lightening crackling with each strike.

The demon screamed and died, vaporizing. Arashi sighed in relief and turned to Sailor Phoenix. "Thanks for the help," he said.

Phoenix looked at him, her eyes resting on the gauntlet. "You're him, aren't you?" she asked.

"Him who?"

"The Legendary Guardian," she said. "My Mother would tell me the legend of you when I was young."

"I'm famous? Cool…" he said with a warm grin. "I'm Arashi."

"Sailor Phoenix."

"What brings you to this humble little planet?" he asked.

"I think you know," she returned. "The Darkness has returned and it won't stop until this planet is dead and barren."

"So you came here to fight with us?" he asked.

She shook her head. "I will not side with traitors."

Arashi frowned. "Traitors? What do you mean by that?"

"Three of the Senshi have fallen victim to the darkness before," she said. "True Mercury being turned was out of her control, but I can't forgive the other two."

"Uranus and Neptune?" he asked. She nodded. "Why not? They fell victim to the darkness too. They had no control over it."

"They willingly joined evil before the Darkness rose," Phoenix said. "As long as they fight with Sailor Moon, I will not side with them." She turned.

"Phoenix wait!" Arashi called but she had already vanished. He stared after her, confusion on his face. What did she mean they willingly joined evil? They'd never do that… he thought.

Haruka looked outside and saw Kai sitting in front of the motorcycle he had been fixing up, not doing anything. She frowned and went outside. She rested a hand on his shoulder and sat down on the bench.

"You've been pretty quiet for the last few days," she said.

He shrugged, tossing the wrench in his hand into the toolbox. "Just have a lot on my mind," he replied.

Haruka saw the look on his face that he didn't want to talk about it. "So how's the bike running?" she asked.

"It's running great," he said, wiping his hands on a rag.

Her communicator started to beep before she could say anything else and she flipped it open. "Demons in the Tenth Street Park!" Pluto yelled.

"On our way," Haruka said.

Kai leapt onto his bike and started the engine. Haruka got on behind him and they shot out of the driveway and into Tokyo. Haruka was impressed with how well Kai handled the bike. He pulled to a stop just short of the park and guided the bike into an alley. The two got off and quickly transformed before running to the park.

"Space Turbulence!" Uranus cried.

The double bladed naginata appeared in Arashi's hand and he leapt high into the air, slamming the weapon down before the demon could impale Chibi Moon. He slammed the weapon into the demon and shoved it back.

"Dead Scream," Pluto said.

"Deep Shaking!" Tempest yelled.

"They're too strong!" Moon cried.

"We can't give up!" Chibi Moon returned.

"Solar Flare!" a voice yelled.

"Nani?" the five Senshi questioned.

"That attack…" Arashi whispered.

"Bringer of light to darkness! I am the Senshi of the Sun, Sailor Phoenix!" She leapt clear of a demon and easily landed on her feet. "Solar Burst!" The demon exploded in a flash of golden light.

"Space Sword Blaster!" Uranus yelled, knocking a demon away from Phoenix.

Arashi ducked under a swipe from a demon and with a huge burst of wind, vaporized it. He changed orbs, the blue flaring to life. He spun the katana that appeared in his hand and attacked the remaining demon.

"Silver Moon! Crystal Power Kiss!" Moon yelled, killing the demon. Phoenix picked herself up and began walking away. "Matte!" Moon called. Phoenix stopped and turned. "Who are you?"

"Sailor Phoenix."

"Will you fight with us against the demons?" Chibi Moon asked.

"I don't fight with traitors. Arashi knows who I mean," Phoenix returned coldly.

The Senshi turned to Arashi. "She's talking about Uranus and Neptune. Something about how they willingly joined evil or something," he said.

"Neptune and I did what we thought was best," Uranus said. "And we paid for our mistake."

Phoenix snorted in disbelief and began walking away. Arashi saw a shadow move behind her. "Behind you!" he yelled.

She whirled around and slammed her fist into the demon. It went flying through the air and landed near the other five Senshi. It rose to its feet and faced Uranus. She tightly gripped her Space Sword. The demon roared, black mist surrounding the Wind Senshi. Arashi switched back to the wind orb and slashed down, dissipating the mist. The demon vanished.

"Uranus!" Pluto exclaimed.

The Senshi and Guardian watched as Uranus lay unmoving on the ground, her eyes closed. Her eyes tightened and fear flashed across her face. "What's wrong with her?" Tempest asked.

"Let's get her to Mercury," Moon suggested.

Arashi easily pulled Uranus onto his shoulders. "Let's go," he said. He looked at Phoenix, his sea blue eyes hard. The four Senshi leapt away, Arashi following them a few moments later.


Uh oh...this can't be good for Uranus...
