Disclaimer I don't own Sailor moon. I own Kayla though. I also don't own the live action version either.
A/n: This story will take place during or slightly there after Sailor Moon Sailor Stars. Aspects of Pgsm will also be included, but nothing will be taken directly from the show. Most of this, is of my own imaginings. This story centers around mainly the inner senshi, and may or may not include the outers. Also I've chosen pairings, so please don't bother asking.

Chapter 2.
The rain clouds vanished just as quickly and mysteriously as they had appeared, leaving a trail of boundless destruction in its wake. Hospitals overfloaed with the amount of incoming patients who had managed to become caught in its wrath. However, no lives had yet been taken.
In one such hospital, a woman stood looking at a clipboard, keeping a tally of people that had begun to enter through the Emergency Room doors. Her eyes quickly scanned the masses praying not to spot her own daughter. Her daughter's best friend had already been admitted for dehydration and malnutrition. Two of her friends had been in, but so far appeared to be uninjured.
Half an hour had passed, and a fimular voice entered her ears, but not in the way she had hopped. "Ami!" she cried clipboard forgotten as she raced through the over stuffed halls to reach her daughter, who had come in kicking and screaming at the person who had brought her. Just as the woman had reached the pair, the kicking and screaming had completely stopped and the young teenager fell limp against the taller brown-haired woman.
Time had sped up, and people and things passed by in a haze. She could hear herself giving orders, while forcing herself to remain calm and composed. Other doctors and nurses hurried to perform the assigned tasks, while the woman stood there in complete shock. "Mizuno-sama? Daijoubu ka?" the brown haired teen had questioned the older woman.
"Hai…..Gomen Nasi Kino-san thank you for bringing her in, demo, I've got to go. However, Tsukino-san appears to be improving if you want to go see her." The older Mizuno replied before hurrying off to check on Ami's status.
Makoto hurried to find Minako and tell her of the news. ::So Usagi's here too….:: she thought to herself as she ran passed rows of stretchers all filled with people with various injuries. Some were screaming swearing in either English or Japanese, sometimes both, while others, Like Ami, had fallen into a state of unconsciousness.
Miles away, A woman knelt in front of the fire. She'd felt her friends fall, but she'd lost any control of her emotions. She had tried to read the fire, and failed. Her mind had been clouded, and like her friends Usagi, and Ami, it effected every aspect of her life. She'd stopped training to increase her power, and became very neglectful of her chores. Her senses had gone into overdrive, but she couldn't focus enough to read the fire properly. It even appeared she'd lost the ability to receive visions. "Yaten-kun onegai….we need you Watashi…. need you." Rei called into the now blackened sky.
Her words flew with the wind, carrying her message far across the galaxy. Little did she know, her words would be heard. A star flickered in the endless void known as outer space, glowing brighter than any others. In a garden, a woman with long white hair done up in a pony tail looked into the skies. "Rei-chan…."
"You're not still thinking about them, are you?" another female inquired, "You know our home is here, we can't go back."
Demo…Taiki…..Watashi…iie….I won't…." Yaten argued back. "I know very well this is our home, but….. we've rebuilt it. Our princess isn't the only …."
"Rokuni….!" Taiki countered quickly quieting any retaliation from her peers.
Yaten stormed off anger welling up inside her. She wasn't about to quit, espically on Taiki's word. If her friends wouldn't help her, she'd just have to take her matter directly to their princess. She knew Rei and the other senshi needed their aid, but little did she realize just how serious things had become on Earth. She paused just before opening the chamber where their princess had been ever since their return home.
"Purinsesu…..gomen….demo Watashi…" she began to say.
"come on in." came her soft voice from her window. She continued speaking without turning. "I understand something troubles you? Doushita?"
"Well…." Yaten begun she'd left her friends in a rage not really pausing to think about what she wanted to say to their princesss. "I want to return to earth, I have a feeling that the Sailor senshi need our help once again, Demo, Taiki and Seiya, don't seem to be in agreeance with me." Yaten quickly stated before she lost all nerve.
"Ah… naruhodo" she replied as she rose from her seat facing Yaten for the first since their conversation had begun. She had sinced something had been bothering her three top senshi, but she couldn't place her finger on it. Now one of them had voiced what she'd already feared. The light coming in from the window had given her an angel-like glow, her expression unreadable. "Alright…." She continued walking across the room. Yaten had held her breath fearing what would be coming next. "I can't keep you here if you don't want to be. Take Seiya and Taiki with you."
"Demo Purinsesu we can't just leave you here. Our duty is to protect you no matter what." Taiki interrupted guessing that Yaten would end up going behind her back.
"You are no use to me like this, I can since your distress and I know you, Seiya, and Yaten here aren't at the top of your game. Go to earth, and stay there until you are sure this is what you want. I cant rely on you to protect me if you can't concentrate. Now…. That's an order."
"Hai….Purinsesu…" the two senshi finished before searching for their third companion.
Back on earth, hardly anyone had gotten much sleep. Makoto and Minako took turns watching over their fallen friends. They had tried contacting the outer senshi for assistance, but all attempts of reaching them had failed. Ami and Usagi appeared to be the only two of their friends able to get sleep, but outside appearances can often be misleading.
Ami's mother stood watch concerned about her daughtor's safety. Up until now the woman hadn't regretted her dission to become a doctor, and was more than happy to see her only child wanted to pursue the art as well. Perhaps she felt she'd pushed the young teenager too far with making her attend more school then the average student. Maybe she should of taken Ami's slipping grades as a sign that the teen had taken on to much, but, all the "what ifs" weren't going to solve anything. The older Mizuno sighed to herself staring helplessly at the figure on the bed. She would give anything to learn what caused her only child to slip this far.
::Maybe I should be around more…:: the elder woman thought approaching the two girls who had been with her when she came in. Perhaps if she talked to them she could get an idea of what had been going on. But, before she could speak one word, people's screams echoed for miles catching the attention of the two remaining half-asleep senshi.
"Jupiter Crystal power….Make-up!"
Venus Crystal Power Make-up!" Two voices rang out and in a flash of green an orange, two senshi replaced the two humans who'd remained vigil by their fallen friends.
"I wish that our friends could help it'll be difficult fighting without them." Jupiter commented as she and Venus raced outside tracing the screams to the sorce. They half expected a yoma, but what they found was very different. People begun to drop like flies, while a thick purple smoke flew through the air shrouding the crystal clear sky an earie shade of what looked to be a cross of black and purple. It hovered over the sun, causing the star to burn, turning a blood red color.
"Venous Love me chain!" Venous cried an orange chain flying out and encircling a pair of children who were standing under a very unstable structure. She retrated said chain pulling the children out of harms way as piles of stone landed exactly where they had once stood.
"Supreme Thunder!" Jupiter called, shooting bolts of green electrical energy at the stones effectively breaking them into smaller peaces giving other people more time to successfully scatter. Once that crisis had been adverted, Jupiter and Venous could continue to search for its root source. Their search didn't last long however, as the now blocked sun begun to shape shift.
Usagi awoke shortly after the departure of her friends, gazeing wide-eyed at her surroundings. The last thing she could remember was sitting beside her friend Ami, waiting to see a doctor of some kind. Ami had been upset, being called first while Usagi had waited then. She remembered wanting to run after her friend, then nothing. "Ami-chan…" the girl slowly whispered when something hit her. She could feel her friends needed help, and quickly. Not bothering to wait for a doctor's permission she removed all of the wires and tubes connected to her.
Shutting the door she slowly whispered, "Moon eternal make-up." Making the transition from Tsukino, Usagi to Eternal Sailor Moon. She then leapt out the window where her wings took over guiding her to a graceful landing. Once she found herself on solid ground she begun sprinting down the sidewalk in hopes of finding her friends. Chaos erupted only a few blocks from the hospital as people scattered about in all different directions. Eternal Sailor moon tried to pinpoint a source, but could not come up with anything. Normally she could clearly see through the masses and determining where they'd come from, but the absence of the sun, and her excusted body couldn't handle the strain.
::I shouldn't have left the hospital, but my friends need me…:: she thought forcing air into her lungs while she continued running much to the disapproval of her aching bones and muscles. A wind came at her and she found herself colliding into a glass wall, shattering it and her back upon impact.
"Moon Teria, Action!" she called weekly, placing her hand over the upturned crescent moon on her forehead, which formed a golden sphere, much like when she'd use her Teria like a boomerang. It cut through the metal support beams like a hot knife through butter giving her just enough time to get out of the building's way. Finding herself air born she had used that moment to catch her breath.
The image forming in the sun had long since taken shape and now caused destruction everywhere it roamed. The annihilation appeared random, but upon closer inspection, it had a destination in mind. Venous and Jupiter had been hot on its tail dodging people, and destroying fallen structures, while trying to spare human lives. Venous spotted something out of the corner of her and she gasped in shock. "Sailor moon?" she inquired as she neared closer, she could see clearly her friend was in fact on the battle field. "You should still be in the hospital-…." She began to scold, but her scolding turned into a cry of horror as the monster sent her friend flying back.
"Sailor moon!" both girls cried as Jupiter had reached them just in time to see the moon princess collide with yet another structure, but this time she didn't bounce right back.
"Gomen nasi minna…." The fallen girl whispered her senshi fuku leaving her body replaced by the hospital gown, which now barely covered anything. Blood poored out in thick streams from various wounds on her body, spilling into the street.
"Usagi!" Jupiter cried racing to catch her fallen friend. "Usagi, onegai, wake up!"
"Venous Love me chain!" Venous screamed just in time to block yet another blow aimed at the girls. "We can't keep this up forever. " she called out the strain of using so much power becoming evident on her face. Her leadership skills kicked in and she turned to the thunder senshi, "Get Usagi-chan out of here!" she ordered preparing yet another attack.
"Rolling Heart Vibration!" she called which sent the creature back a few feet.
"Dead Scream…." A voice called out, a purple sphere aimed for the monster's head.
"Fire Soul!" a second voice called, fire coming seemingly out of nowhere hitting the youma square in the chest.
"World Shaking…"
Deep submerge!" two other voices rang out blue and yellow sphere's aimed for the youma.
"Minna you made it." Venous breathed sweat beating off her body her breath coming in short ragged breaths. "Moon and Mercury are out, Mercury is in the hospital, and Jupiter is on her way to return moon." Venous explained. "I'm glad you guys made it. We couldn't get a hold of you guys…"
"Incoming…." The woman in red and white warned powering up for another attack, "Burning…." But she wouldn't get to finish a stone colom plowing into the back of her head.
"Mars!" Venous cried. This could not be happening, they had managed to score some direct attacks, but it didn't appear to be an end in sight. The youma continued on its treck taking lives, and leaving devastating destruction in its wake.
"Starlight honey moon….laser activation!" a voice rang out, a beam of hot white light aimed for the youma's midsection, the beam shrinking into a fine point before impact. The youma hissed and growled flailing around before it dissipated. All heads turned to face the new voice, but their jaws dropped.
"Usagi-chan?" Venous questioned looking up from the fallen Mars. The clouds had vanished with the youma, leaving a clear blue sky, the sun also being returned to its glory.
"Healing resurrection!" the voice called, the staff she'd used turning into a string less harp its music filling the air, a white glow covering the city, restoring the city to a flawless un harmed state. People hit by its rays healed from any and all minor injuries. The more severe however would still need to go to the hospital, but at least now their chances of a full recovery were much higher.
"Usagi-chan demo how?" Venous repeated.
"Iie venous chan….this is not Usagi-chan…" the voice corrected before the figure flew off drained from the use of her power. Venous then fell to her head in pain, the teal-clad senshi rushing to their leader's side. "Minako-chan daijobou?"
"I think I know who it is, demo… iie… it can't be…. Sailor….Gwaten…" Venous finally said, her fuku leaving her for more normal attire.
