Here's the next chapter. Please enjoy it! If you don't I'll hit you on the head with the Moon Stick...if I could find one...

And just to warn everyone, this chapter time jumps a bit and a lot happens concerning the plot of the story...at least I think it does...:shrugs:...enjoy it!

Full Summary: A man seeks vengeance upon all the Sailor Senshi. When he arrives on Earth, a young boy watches his family and friends die at the hands of the killer. The Starlights take him in and raise him. When he is old enough, the boy journeys back in time to stop his family from dying.

Still not mine. And if it wasn't for fear of lawsuits I wouldn't bother with these disclaimers...not that I have any money to take being a poor college kid...v.v...


"Aunt Rei!" Kieran exclaimed, hugging the miko.

Rei smiled as the ten-year-old grabbed her. "Hey Speed Demon. How are you?"

"I'm good!" he said, smiling. "I came to see if you needed help."

The Fire Senshi smiled down him. "Well that's very nice of you."

He nodded. "I'm trying to be a hero," he said, puffing out his chest.

"Well I certainly feel better now that you're here." She pulled a pack out from her car and handed it to him. "Think you can carry this?" He nodded and shouldered the pack. He led the way to the others and set the pack down.

"How long till Usagi-chan comes?" Makoto asked.

"An hour at least," Haruka replied.

"Can we go play till then?" Suiren asked.

"Just don't go too far or get too dirty," Michiru answered.

The twins nodded and eagerly ran off. Kieran grabbed a stick. "I'm a great swordsman! Just like Papa!"

Suiren picked up a shorter stick. "I'm Neptune, like Mama! Elegant and strong!"

Kieran smiled. "Together we'll beat any enemy that shows up!"

"Oh really?" a cold voice asked.

The two turned and saw a white haired man glaring at them. "Who are you?" Kieran demanded with a faint tremor in his voice.

The man smiled. "Tell me where the Senshi are."

"Senshi?" Suiren repeated. "We don't know any Senshi."

He chuckled and the two inched away. His gaze fell on Suiren and his eyes narrowed. "So you're a Senshi…"

"Suiren! Run!" Kieran shouted. He slammed his stick into the man. Without a glance the man slammed his fist into Kieran. The boy slammed into a tree and crumpled to the ground.

"Kieran!" his sister screamed. The man grabbed her and lifted her into the air by the neck. "I didn't do anything!"

"Your kind did," the man growled. Black energy began flowing around his arm and flowed down to his hand. Suiren shrieked in pain.

Kieran looked up and his eyes widened in horror. The man dropped her lifeless body to the ground. "SUIREN!" he bellowed. He suddenly cried out in pain, doubling over at the base of the tree.

The man turned to the boy. "Be thankful I've no desire to kill you boy."

Kieran felt something flood into his body. He rose to his feet, his eyes cold and glowing. He drew his arm back and slammed it forward. A column of fire shot out of his hand and slammed into the man. He sank to the ground and stared at Kieran.

"What…what are you?" the man asked, blood dripping from his mouth.

"Suiren! Kieran!" a voice yelled. Neptune skidded to a halt when she saw Suiren's lifeless body. "No…"

"Behind you!" Kieran cried, but it was too late. The man had slammed a sphere of black energy into Neptune, killing her. "MAMA!"

The man started laughing when Uranus' Space Sword slammed into his body. She kicked the body and ran to Neptune as he quickly vanished. "Neptune? Neptune?" she whispered.

The others ran up and Saturn took Kieran, hiding her shock at his changed appearance. The small boy's blonde hair now had streaks of silver and there was a barely visible faint glow to his eyes. "Are you okay?" she whispered.

He threw his arms around her and began crying. Uranus suddenly screamed, holding her partner as tightly as she could. Tears flowed from her eyes as she threw back her head. "IIE!"

The seven Senshi remained silent, unable to comprehend the loss Uranus and Kieran had to be feeling. Saturn felt the same way. Michiru had been like a mother to her after the young girl had reawakened as Saturn. The Sea Senshi had looked out for Hotaru and helped her through tough times. She wiped her eyes and tightly held Kieran.

Haruka rubbed her eyes and drained the last bit of cold coffee from her cup. Dark circles hung under her eyes. It had been two days since Michiru and Suiren's deaths and the Wind Senshi had not slept since. She rested her head in her hand and sighed faintly. She heard footsteps and the kitchen door swung open. Kieran looked at Haruka, his eyes red from crying.

"Hey Kier," Haruka said softly. "Couldn't sleep?" Kieran shook his head and walked to Haruka. She picked him up and placed him in her lap. "Neither could I." Haruka looked at the clock. "Come on buddy. We need to get ready."

The back door suddenly slammed open and the man staggered in. "All the Senshi will die!" he shouted.

Haruka swiftly set Kieran down but before she could transform the man had hurled a knife into her shoulder, throwing her back and pinning her to the wall. "Kieran! Run!" Haruka ordered. The boy scrambled out of the room, shouting for Hotaru and Setsuna for help.

"The rest will die too," the man said.

Haruka tried to jerk the knife out of the wall but it refused to move. "You'll pay for killing Michiru."

"I am an instrument of god, you cannot kill me!" A black sphere appeared in his hand and he hurled it at Haruka. It struck her and she screamed in pain. The man smiled in victory. He turned and left the house, not realizing that Hotaru and Setsuna were Sailor Senshi as well.

Taiki Kou adjusted his glasses as he waited in the coffee shop. Six months had passed since Kinmoku had lost contact with the Senshi on Earth. Seiya Kou planted himself in a chair and sighed. "They're dead," he whispered.

"What?" Yaten Kou exclaimed.

"How?" Taiki inquired.

Seiya shrugged. "No one's sure here, but from what I could gather, it sounds like that guy who's been going around killing Sailor Senshi."

Taiki's eyes narrowed as he saw someone run past the window. He quickly rose to his feet and ran out, his two friends following close behind. "Setsuna-san!" Taiki called.

The Time Senshi whirled around, blood covering her face. "Taiki-san, quickly! Take the boy and run! Get as far away as you can!" She shoved a child into his arms. "Please. It's Haruka-san and Michiru-san's only child now. Go somewhere safe! Before it's too late!" she begged

"Demo…" Taiki began.

"There's no time for me to explain. Kieran will. Go, and be safe. Stay hidden as best you can." She stepped back and vanished.

"What the hell is going on?" Seiya demanded.

"We've could've helped at least," Yaten muttered.

"You three!" a sharp voice snapped. They turned and saw a man with white hair glaring at them. "Where did the woman go?"

"What woman?" Seiya asked. "We were just talking this little kid to the police station. We didn't see a woman."

"Liar," the man hissed, black energy forming around his hand.

Kieran suddenly lunged out of Taiki's arms and shot his hand forward. Fire slammed into the man, forcing him to run. The Starlights stared in shock. "Whoa…" Seiya murmured.

Taiki knelt down in front of him. "How did you do that?"

Kieran shrugged, wiping his eyes. "I just did it…"

"Do you know who we are?" Taiki asked.

He nodded. "Aunt Usagi showed me pictures of you."

"Where is everyone?" Seiya asked.

"That man killed them," Kieran whispered.

"Everyone's dead?" Yaten asked in disbelief.

Kieran nodded. He looked up at them. "I'm all alone now."

"No you're not," Seiya said. He crouched down in front of Kieran. "We're your friends too."

"You can come live with us," Taiki added. The other two looked at him.

"What?" Yaten asked softly.

"He has no one left Yaten. And he needs to learn about his powers. Who can do that for him on Earth?" Taiki returned.

"I agree with Taiki," Seiya said. He looked at Kieran. "Would you like to come live with us?"

Kieran nodded. "I don't wanna stay here…"

Taiki picked the boy up. "Then we'll go." They walked into a deserted alley and teleported away.

Kieran looked around at the strange new planet, smiling at its wonder. The Starlights led him to a large palace and they walked in. The four entered a study and the three Senshi bowed to a woman. "Fighter, Healer, Maker…you are back sooner than I thought…and who is your new little friend?"

"They're all dead," Seiya whispered.

Kakyuu looked at them. "You are certain?"

They nodded. "We're not too sure about Pluto. She told us to look after this boy and vanished before we could ask why," Yaten added.

Kakyuu knelt down. "What's your name little one?"

"Kieran," he answered.

"I'm Kakyuu. It's nice to meet you."

"You too," he said quietly.

Kakyuu looked up at her protectors. "You were asked to raise him?"

"Yes," Taiki answered.

"Will the three of you raise him or just one?"

The three looked at each other. "The three of us would probably be better," Taiki said after several moments. "Though there's something else about him you should know," he added.

"What?"

"He's an elemental," Seiya answered.

"You are certain?" she asked.

"We saw him hit some guy with a pretty fierce fire blast," Yaten said.

"So he'll need to be trained in the elemental arts…" Kakyuu mused.

"Looks that way," Taiki agreed.

Kakyuu nodded. "I will inform Master Ryu. In the meantime, why don't you show him around his new home?" The Starlights nodded and they left.

"You sure you're going to be okay here Kieran?" Taiki asked as they walked down the halls.

The boy nodded. "Yeah." He looked at the paintings and tapestries, stopping in the middle of the hall. "I couldn't save them," he whispered.

"What?" Seiya asked.

He looked up at them, tears shimmering in his sea blue eyes. "I couldn't save my family," he whispered. "I was there, I saw him, I tried but…but I…I couldn't…" he fell silent and began silently crying.

Taiki knelt down and rested his hand on Kieran's shoulder. "Don't blame yourself Kieran. You did all you could. No one can blame you for failing."

"Demo…demo…"

Taiki shook his head. "No buts. A kid like you with no training couldn't do much, that's true. But we're going to change that."

"I'm going to learn how to fight?" he asked.

Taiki nodded. "We'll help you learn how to become strong…and to teach you what Sailor Moon and the others taught us."

He wiped his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face. "What did she teach you?"

The three smiled. "That anyone can be saved," Seiya said.

"As long as you believe in yourself and your friends," Yaten added.

Kieran nodded. "I'll never give up, no matter what!" he said determinedly. The Starlights smiled and nodded in agreement.

Six months later…

- - - - - - - - - -

Fighter cried out in pain as the monster slammed its claws through her shoulder. Healer rolled away from its tail and leapt to her feet. "Star Sensitive Inferno!"

"Star Gentle Uterus!" Maker cried.

The monster turned and shifted its gaze to the other two Starlights. It growled and shambled forward. "Any ideas Maker?" Healer demanded.

"None! I doubt even if we fused our powers we'd make a scratch on this thing!"

"We need to get Fighter to the medical wing though!" Healer returned.

"Then why don't you ask the nice monster if we can do that?" Maker snapped.

A small figure suddenly darted forward. His arms shot forward and two jets of air slammed into the creature, pushing it back. As the creature rose to its feet, the figure shot his hands out again, fire leaping from one hand and lightening erupting out of the other. The two attacks swirled around each other and slammed into the monster, killing it.

"Nicely done Kieran," Fighter grimaced.

The small boy looked down at the injured Senshi. He held his right hand out over her and closed his eyes. His hand began glowing pale yellow and trembled slightly. The Starlights stared in amazement as he healed Fighter's wounds. Kieran opened his eyes and sank to the ground. Maker caught him and smiled.

"You are an amazing kid Kier," she said.

"I'll second that," Fighter agreed, rising to her feet.

Healer smiled. "Come on. Let's leave Maker to drag Fighter off to the infirmary. You know how protective Kakyuu-hime is." Kieran smiled and he and Healer walked away, leaving the other two to look on.

"It's amazing how much power that boy has," Maker said in a serious voice.

Fighter nodded. "Kakyuu-hime said it's somewhat due to his parents and how he was conceived."

"Didn't Sailor Moon use the Silver Crystal on Haruka?" Maker asked.

Fighter nodded. "Some of the power must have gone into their children, or at least Kieran. How else can you explain the power he has, and the color in his hair?"

"True," Maker agreed. "Master Ryu is amazed at how much potential Kieran has." She sighed.

"What?"

"Pluto slipped a Time Key into my hand before she vanished."

"So?"

"So, there was a note attached that said to let Kieran use the Key when he was ready to," she said.

Realization dawned on Fighter. "He can go back in time and stop this guy from killing his family and the others. But how would she know?"

"Pluto's a Guardian of Time Fighter. She can…could see past, present, and future, remember? Or something like that."

"Should we tell him about the Time Key?" Fighter asked.

"Not yet. If we tell him, he'll want to use it now and he's nowhere near ready to take on that guy," Maker said.

"Good point. We should tell Kakyuu-hime though." Maker nodded in agreement and the two headed for the infirmary.
