The group all sweat dropped as spears were pointed at them by women in armor, many were staying at Seiya's hair, whispering in a language that none of them knew.
"Ken Murata!" Rachel, suddenly yelled startling the women.
One of the women ran off confusing the other members of Rachel's group more.
"Rachel, you clearly know what's going on...where are we and why are they staring at Seiya?" asked Misty.
"We're in the Great Demon Kingdom, the tomb of the Great One to be exact. This is a special place to them and they're staring because he has black hair, if his eyes were also black they'd be going nuts," she explained keeping her hands up, "Too bad you three are in male form...we might have been in less trouble if you were in your natural female state. Whatever you do, do not slap anyone on the left cheek with an open palm."
"Wha?"
As she spoke a young man with black hair and eyes wearing glasses and wearing what looked like a school uniform approached, "She's right you know unless you want a fiancée...but how did you know that miss?"
"We're from other worlds," said Taiki as Luna and Artemis jumped to the ground since the group was standing in the fountain, "I'm guessing Rachel knows about your world because it's connected to a form of entertainment in her world."
"He knows what Anime and Manga are, he's from Japan which is why he can understand us," the dark-haired girl pointed out, "Now can we get out of the fountain please?"
"Oh sure," Murata said offering her a hand, to his surprise he was handed two wet creatures and she stepped out on her own, "A Pichu and a Vulpix? Wait...You're Misty!"
One of the women started to speak to Murata as the others got out, he replied in the same language and the women in armor backed off letting the others relax.
"Well we got lucky, if you and Yuri weren't here I would have had to figure out a way to get Conrart's attention. Either that or send the cats and pokémon to bug Gwendal," Rachel said taking off her socks to wring them out.
Luna, who had the device in her mouth put it down and checked, "Only one here."
The women were startled when she started to talk, giving Artemis an idea, "BOO!"
They jumped, Kyubi, who found this distasteful lit the tip of his tail making the white cat run for the fountain and put out his tail while Rachel and the others explained why they were in this world.
"That's what you get Artemis, this is a scared place and you're messing with the protectors of it," Yaten chided.
"I guess it would be hard for the cats to use the translation devices that the others used when we went to Earth to retrieve The Bottom of the Mirror," said Murata scratching his cheek.
"Someone would have to translate or the people we're talking to would have to wear them. The latter would be best for when we leave since I don't think anyone else will speak the language of this world," Seiya points out.
Rachel took the device from Luna, "Is this pointing to the castle?" she asked worriedly, there were few people she wouldn't want to drag on this mission that live this world and one lived at that castle.
Murata looked and nodded, "I'm guessing you need to head there, I'll get a carriage."
After a ride to the castle, apparently a messenger had been sent ahead because there was a group waiting for them. Three were grown men, one had long lavender hair and eyes dressed in white, next to him was a man with long dark grey hair and blue eyes dressed in green, the last adult was dressed in brown, his eyes and hair also brown. Two appeared to be teens, one blonde, with green eyes and dressed in blue while the other had black hair, eyes and clothes. Last but not least was a little girl, she stood out not because of her gender and age but her skin, it was a dark tan, her wavy hair was a dark reddish brown and her eyes were the same.
"Rachel...do you know who all these people are?" asked Seiya as the demons tried to figure them out.
She nodded, "The man in white is Lord Gunter von Krist, the one in green is Lord Gwendal von Voltaire, eldest son of the previous demon queen. The man with brown hair is Gwendal's younger half-brother Lord Conrart Weller but some call him Conrad instead. The blonde is their youngest half-brother Lord Wolfram von Bielefeld, next to him is his fiancée and the currant king; Yuri Shibuya and between them is Yuri's adopted daughter, Greta."
"We can hear you, you know," said Conrart startling Rachel.
"You should know it's rude to eavesdrop Lord Weller," she pointed out.
"Well it's also rude to not introduce yourselves," Gwendal pointed out making Rachel sweat drop.
"Sorry...I'm Rachel...I'm from an alternate version of Yuri's world," she said before the others introduced themselves.
"So... you want Greta to touch that star thing to if she's one of you?" asked Wolfram, pulling the child closer to him.
"Honestly, I don't want to drag her into this...it might not even be her we're looking for," Rachel said.
"It won't hurt her," Misty told them showing her bracelet.
Greta took the device, but nothing happened.
"Huh?"
"I knew it was a trick!" cried Wolfram grabbing it, this time there was a reaction, a bracelet with a royal blue star with the symbol for Sagittarius, "What the?!"
"Huh...I guess we shouldn't assume all of them will be female," said Taiki, surprised.
"What does a Sailor Senshi look like anyways?" asked Greta.
"It actually depends on where the Senshi is from, but we all have sailor collars hence the Sailor aspect," explained Yaten.
"Why are you so surprised by Wolfram being a senshi? Those three are male," pointed out Conrart.
"No, they're not, they're really female aliens, they just took male form to make a boy band to find their princess...it's complicated," said Rachel, "Knowing how stubborn he is I'm not sure if we can convince him to help...us...Shit..."
As she spoke a member of the Fly Bone tribe that Pewter fox managed to take control of and enlarged, startling everyone. Conrart took no time in ushering Greta, Rachel and the cats into the castle. (The pokémon are in their pokéballs)
"What's going on?" asked the frightened child.
"I fear the person behind all of this is forcing these Sailor Senshi to awaken to protect those they love..." Rachel said, frowning before feeling a tug on her shirt.
"Wolfram will come home safe if he goes with you right?" Greta asked as the Starlights and Misty transformed.
Rachel knelt to Greta's eye level with a reassuring smile, "I choose to believe Sailor Moon will be freed and she will stop Chaos, even if Wolfram's Star Seed is taken she will get it back...I know she will, she's the strongest ever. She's kind and brave, true she is klutzy and a crybaby, but her heart is a lot like Yuri's. Also like him...she spent most of her life not knowing she was really royalty but don't worry about your family breaking up if she and Yuri meet she already has someone she loves with all her heart."
While the girls talked the others were having a hard time with the monster. It kept blocking the mark and they couldn't break its defenses.
"Wolfram! Look out!" Yuri cried pushing the blonde out of the path of a swipe attack, the double black taking the hit and landing across the courtyard.
"Yuri!" everyone yelled, word coming to Wolfram's mind.
The put his arm in the air and cried, "Sagittarius Zodiac Power...Make Up!"
His military uniform turned into a sailor fuku like Misty's but his was royal blue and red, his hair grew much longer, making him look more like his mother though it didn't help that he was now a she. Luckily at the moment the new senshi was too angry to notice.
"Sagittarius Blazing Sword!" the attack created sword of pure fire that not only sliced through the monster's arms but the symbol turning it back to its normal self.
Yuri started to get up around this time, him and the other three demons staring at the panting blonde.
"Oi! Wolfram look down!" Rachel called before covering her ears, Greta doing them same realizing that this would-be A) pretty funny and B) loud.
"Huh?" asked the confused Sailor Sagittarius before doing just that and screamed seeing her breasts and curves.
Gwendal covered his baby brother turned sister's mouth, "That's enough, Wolfram."
"Actually, like this she's Sailor Sagittarius...and pissed off at me..." said the brunet human diving behind the second eldest demon brother.
"You did indirectly point out that he is now a she," said Sailor Star Healer.
"Why am I a girl!?" Sagittarius yelled, gesturing to her body.
"Look on the bright side, now his majesty can no longer use your gender to complain about the engagement," said Conrart trying to calm his younger sibling, smiling.
"If it works like I think then she will only be female until she/he turns back," commented Rachel coming out from hiding, "Kinda like the Starlights."
"And if you're wrong?" asked Yuri, trying to avoid staring and upsetting the blonde.
"Then Conrart and Gwendal have a baby sister and Greta will have a Mama when you two marry!"
Misty and Luna face palmed or pawed in Luna's case. Rachel's cheerful tone didn't really suit the situation.
"Just focus on changing back," explained Seiya, who had just turned back himself.
Wolfram tried it, sighing happily finding himself back to normal.
"Doesn't stop his mother from dressing him like a girl...didn't stop Yuri's mom either," Rachel commented with a grin making both blush.
"How in the name of the Great One do you know these things?" asked Gunter.
"I'm from a different world then everyone else...and I just remembered...Wolfram, can you teach me how to ride a horse? The most I've done is pony rides back home," Rachel asked pulling out her new Ponyta's pokéball.
"Why?" he asked as she sent out the fire horse pokémon, "What is that?!"
"It's a species of pokémon called a Ponyta, an... acquaintance of mine in my world gave it to her in case she needed get away fast," explained Misty.
"I fear the only way to defeat Chaos is to revive Sailor Moon and the only way to do that is to retrieve her Star Seed, the Silver Crystal...However, I'm worried what it will cost us," Taiki said to Gwendal, Gunter and Conrart as the younger beings got to know the horse pokémon and Rachel let out Kyubi and Li'l Light, so they could do the same.
"Where does Miss Rachel fit into all this?" asked Conrart remembering she was not in the fight, watching the group walk off to find proper riding equipment and food for the fire type.
"We have honestly had no idea, though her knowledge of this world did save us," said Yaten scratching his head, "The device Sailor Pluto, the Guardian of Time, gave us lead us to her first. She can see what the future holds so honestly only she would know but her Star Seed was taken and if what Rachel says is right she won't regain her body until she is out of Galaxia, no Chaos's clutches."
"Why should we entrust our baby brother to you?" growled Gwendal, he already almost lost both of his little brothers once a piece during the incident with the Four Forbidden Boxes.
"Like it or not he's been tied to this fate since he was born, he's awoken to it and we need his help. He's been born over and over again carrying this power due to having a True Star Seed," replied Seiya refusing to let the taller male intimidate him.
Conrart raised an eyebrow, "Yuri's soul used to belong to someone else, shouldn't he have caused a reaction, or his Eminence since he's been reborn several times over the past 4000 years?"
"I think this is different...You noticed that both Wolfram and Misty still retained certain features in both their senshi and civilian forms while His Majesty and Julia look nothing alike," pointed out Gunter.
It took a few days for Wolfram to choose someone to leave in charge of his men, pack his supplies which included normal Earth clothes thanks to Yuri, and say goodbye to his family. His mother honestly shocking his new friends, except Rachel who suggested giving everyone in the odd family a communicator, so they can stay in touch
"Be careful, Wolfie," Lady Celi told her youngest child hugging him, "Come home safe."
"I will Mother," he assured her.
Gwendal and Conrart shook hands with their younger brother and Greta hugged him. Finally, it was time to say good bye to Yuri. Neither honestly knew what to say as Rachel opened the portal.
"Good luck..." was all Yuri could say before the blonde walked through.
"You should think about what he means to you, your majesty," Rachel said as she walked to the portal, "Because if we fail...he won't be coming back."
"What do you mean!?" Yuri cried as she jumped through, leaving him without an answer.
