Dialogue Key: "Talking" 'Thinking'

Chapter Three: The Encounter

Present

Makoto met the seven girls and Mamoru outside. She was still confused about the dream but she tried to shake the feelings off. When she caught a glimpse of Mamoru smiling at her, she blushed lightly.

"What should we do now?" Usagi asked. "Movies?" Rei suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement. Makoto and Minako sat in Haruka's car with Michiru in the passenger's seat and Hotaru between Makoto and Minako while the others rode in Mamoru's car.

Being the racer Haruka is, she sped through traffic at light speed. Minako held on to Hotaru for her life. Makoto merely rested her head on her hand and looked out the window.

All her thoughts were concentrated on the boy from her dream. 'His name is Daisuke, huh?' she thought. 'I wonder why I never saw him until now.' She tapped her lap with her fingers as her thoughts continued to confuse her. 'He looks just like me, too. If he's my brother, then how come I haven't seen him before?'

Then, her thoughts drifted towards Endymion. 'He tried to seduce me…and he was engaged with Serenity.' She sighed softly at the thought. 'Forget what Rei said. My life totally sucks!'

Then she felt a sharp pain under her left shoulder blade. She drew in a deep breath and held it for a few seconds. She turned to find Minako extracting her hand. "Gomen ne, Mako-chan, but I called you, like, three times and you wouldn't answer me," she replied. "It's okay. I guess that wound hasn't really healed yet," Makoto reassured the frowning blonde. That caused Minako to frown even more. "When did you get it?" Makoto shrugged. "Maybe a few days go. I lost count." "How did you get it?" Minako asked.

"A few kids from junior high still had a grudge against me and they brought weapons and one lucky person cut me." There was a short silence after that, indicating that it was a good idea to stop pressing the subject.

Michiru looked back at Makoto. She noticed how distant she was. "What are you thinking about, Makoto?" Makoto continued to look out the window and answered, "A very disturbing dream."

"So, our little Mako-chan is becoming a hentai?" Haruka teased. "I never thought you'd go there." Makoto blushed as she crossed her arms. "The only one who's a hentai in this car is you, Haruka-san." Haruka laughed and shook her head. "Whatever you say, Mako-chan."

After that, there was silence in the car. It wasn't long before the five got to their destination. "And we're here," Haruka said as she found a parking space. "Can you get off me now, Minako-san?" Hotaru asked. Minako quickly did so and got out of the car as it came to a stop. They went inside the movie theater and waited for the other group. About fifteen minutes later, they finally came.

"About time you slow pokes showed up," Haruka teased. Mamoru rolled her eyes as he crossed her arms. If being slow meant acknowledging the speed limit, then he didn't mind being slow at all.

They all settled for a romance movie, seeing how Haruka, Mamoru, Makoto, and Hotaru were outvoted 5-4. "Fine. I'll get some snacks. You guys get some seats," Haruka commanded.

Everyone filed into the room of the movie except Makoto. "We need to use the bathroom," she said as she grabbed Rei's hand. "We?" she asked. Then she felt Makoto nudge her in the ribs. Hard.

"Yeah, we'll see you in a few," Rei agreed as she let out a silent 'Ow.' Everyone noticed how weird they were acting but dismissed it. Mamoru stared at Makoto with a look of longing, which she noticed but tried to ignore. Instead of leading her to the bathroom, she led Rei outside, who seemed very annoyed. "Let me guess. Another dream?" Makoto nodded. She told her what happened with Endymion and the boy who saved her.

"And after I woke up, he told me to get ready to leave he winked at me with a grin," she finished. Rei arched her eyebrows. "He does want you."

She stayed quiet for a bit. "What do you think I should do?" Makoto asked, sounding as desperate as she felt. Rei stayed quiet in thought. Eventually, she answered, "I think you should act as if none of this ever happened and see if he reacts to you." Makoto was about to respond when a loud crash came from the theater. There were screams coming from inside. They ran to the movie where the others were in to find it empty except for the others, two youma, and a hole in the wall.

The other senshi and Mamoru ran to the exit but one youma stopped them by saying, "No need to hide while transforming. We already know who you are." The seven were shocked but Rei and Makoto weren't impressed. "You know who we are. Who are you?" Makoto asked.

"If you entertain me, I'll consider telling you," the first youma said with a grin.

"MOON ETERNAL POWER!"

"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!"

"MARS CRYSTAL POWER!"

"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!"

"VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!"

"URANAS PLANET POWER!"

"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER!"

"SATURN PLANET POWER!"

"MAKE UP!"

The Sailor Senshi plus Tuxedo Kamen appeared before the two youma. "So this is the legendary Sailor Senshi? Never thought the protectors of Earth were little girls and a cross dresser…"

"Hey!" Haruka exclaimed.

"…who wore skirts," the second youma finished. Everyone then turned to Jupiter and Mars, who had their hands in fists and their jaws clenched. "You've done now," Neptune said with a shake of her head. "Nani?" the second youma asked. "You called them little girls," Saturn reminded. "And we wear fukus, not skirts," Mercury corrected. "You just fueled their hate for you," Venus said with a shrug, as if it couldn't be helped. "Hope you have fun in Hell!" Moon said with a smile and a wave. The second youma looked towards Jupiter and Mars.

"SUPREME THUNDER DRAGON!"

"FIRE SOUL BIRD!"

The youma stared at the now combined attacks in the form of a dragon and a phoenix rush straight towards him. Usually combined attacks wouldn't faze him but this was the Sailor Senshi. It could have moved out of the way but it was paralyzed with shock. The attacks eventually hit it and died. "That's what happens when you call me a little girl so if have the guts, say it to my face!" Jupiter called out to the last youma.

The youma burst into laughter. "Before I do this one thing I'll tell you who I am. The name's Shinji." Then he disappeared and reappeared in front of Jupiter and said, "And I think you're just a little girl."

Everyone ran as far as they could away from Jupiter so they weren't in range of her rage. She immediately went for a kick in the stomach without taking her eyes off Shinji.

When in contact, his stomach felt as hard a brick wall. "I'll give you another try but this time hit harder," he mocked. This got her angrier. She punched him on both sides of his face, kicked him once more but in the head, and finally kneed him his chin. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he spit the blood out of his mouth. "Good job. You did better than the first try," he said with satisfactory. Then a smirk stretched across his lips. "My turn."

He started a flurry of punches that she managed to block. After a short while, he jumped over her. Before she had time react, he kicked her in the lower back, causing the wound to bleed. As she went flying towards a chair, Shinji made a sword appear before him. He grabbed it and dashed towards Jupiter and cut down and to the side, completely reopening the wound and making a new one, which formed a cross.

Then she hit the chair all together. Everyone gave a little gasp. "That was fun, Jupiter. You're a worthy opponent, I'll give you that. But you're not good enough to beat me," he grinned. He was about to disappear but stopped himself. "Oh, and you should get those wounds checked." Then he left. Everyone ran to Jupiter's side.

Slowly her bloodstained fuku dissolved and showed a bloodstained shirt. Venus detransformed into Minako kneeled at her side. "Are you okay?" she asked. Despite how stupid the question was, Makoto answered with a smile, "Yes, Minako-chan, I'm fine. I just got the crap beat out of me and got another cut that will be added to my collection of stitches on my back in the process. I never felt better in my entire life."

"Good to know you still have your sense of humor," Minako said with a smile in return. "Now let's get you out of here." Mamoru and Haruka came over to help Makoto stand. "To the hospital we go," she said as she fell into a deep sleep.
