The next morning.
Haruka sat on the sofa reading the paper, while Michiru was in the next room painting. The blonde woman read the article about a young photographer being found in the Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden, as she read she thought it odd that a medallion was tossed on top of the body. What caught her eye it was the medallion was what engraved into it, the dark eclipse. "It might be nothing." She whispered out loud.
"What might be nothing?" a young feminine voice asked as she entered the room. The aqua haired woman dressed in her daily cotton dress with flowers printed on it.
"A young woman was killed in Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden in the early morning last night, there wasn't any evidence to indicate any obvious signs of death. The only thing they found was a silver medallion with a dark eclipse engraved into it." Haruka answered.
"The ocean has remained calmed, my mirror hasn't shown any signs of the moon being encased in darkness."
Haruka smiled, "The wind has remained calmed as well, it might be nothing."
"Do you think we should look into it?" Michiru asked sitting down next to her lover.
"The fighting will never end, will it?" Haruka asked just as Trista shimmered into their mansion by the ocean.
"Pluto….I mean Trista, what is it?" Haruka asked, curious expression showing in her eyes.
"A darkness is approaching." The woman who had long dark green hair, she had her garnet rod in her hand.
"I haven't sensed anything dark." Michiru answered, looking towards Haruka who nodded as well.
"This evil is not from outside our solar system, it is from this planet."
"How? We eliminated all the evil on this earth." Haruka told them both.
"I was given permission by the Neo Queen Serenity to aid you in this fight."
"It's good to have you back." Haruka told their mentor and friend. This was when Trista took notice that a young girl should be here, "Where is Hotaru?"
"She wanted to stay at a friends house last night." Michiru told her, she glanced at the clock that was settled above the T.V., "You should get going, remember you told her today was her and your day."
Haruka glanced at the clock also, "Then I'll be going, if you need me just call me."
With that she left the two sailor soldiers, to pick up her adopted daughter.
"What about the princess?" Michiru asked Trista.
"She is safe for now. We must find who this evil is before they can kill someone else."
Michiru nodded.
Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden
Five girls were walking in the Garden enjoy their day off of school. It was almost mid day, as they stopped and decided that now would be a good time for that picnic. Usagi was the most excited by this idea, which sparked a remark from Rei which sparked the argument. The other three just shook their heads, "It would seem like both of them would have grown up a bit." Makoto told her two friends that weren't fighting. They both agreed, "ALRIGHT!" Minako yelled over Usagi and Rei. The two girls quickly quieted their arguing. Neither of five girls saying a word till Makoto noticed where they were. "That girl was killed somewhere around here."
"That's scary, think she going to come back and hunt us all?" Minako said, as she started making scary sounds. It wasn't long before Usagi had joined in Minako, then they both started laughing.
"I heard they found a medallion on her the news described it as an eclipse. They think the killer left it behind." Ami who had been pretty quite most of the time.
"Probably just some guy playing games with the police." Rei said as she bit into another rice cake.
Not to far away the cloaked man stood by, waiting for the soldiers to appear. Thinking that he could attack in broad daylight, watching the young girls enjoying there picnic. He remained hidden, deciding it would be nice to kill again to fill that rush of the human soul. Letting a smile slip his lips, he was going to get that annoying blonde with the long hair. He came out from behind the tree, he was never really known for being patient. Strolling up to the group of girls he sent a small blast wave sending all of them but his target flying a good fifteen feet away. In a blur of motion he had Minako by the throat as he had the photographer last night. Reaching up with his left hand placing it over his right he proceeded to draw out the soul of the young woman. As it started to come out the soul wasn't the blue he was expecting to see, it was bright orange. "A carrier." He said more to himself. Then out of nowhere lighting struck him in his back followed by a fire arrow. He released Minako, she dropped to the ground the tried to crawl away. He turned around to see what had hit him, to his surprise it was the Sailor Soldiers. He turned back around to see where his prey was trying to get off to. Reaching in under his cloak he took out a card, it had a dark eclipse coving just one side of it. Tossing it towards Minako it got bigger in size till it was enough to cover the young girl up. Trapping her beneath it, satisfied she wasn't going anywhere he turned his attention back to the soldiers. "I suppose this when I ask you who you are." His raspy voice stated. Sailor Moon started into her speech about who she is, when he lifted his hand and sent an energy wave towards her. She screamed as Jupiter pushed her out of the way. Mercury yelled "Mercury aqua illusion!" the entire area was flooded with a dense fog.
"Their a little more tough then I thought." he thought to himself looking around for any sign of them. It wasn't long before the fog cleared away, the soldiers were still standing there with Venus now part of the group. He looked back seeing his prey was gone, "You girls just cost me valuable artifact." He told them, calmly.
"Who are you?" Rei asked the cloak man.
"I'm the one who will destroy all of you for my new found master."
Once more out of nowhere he was hit again with a blue planet shaped attack, causing him to be flooded with water. He looked around for the attacker, there where the remaining soldiers.
"I'll finish you all in time." He told them before backing up and disappearing in the shadows of the near by trees. The nine soldiers simply looked at each other, "Was that the evil you were talking about?" Uranus asked Pluto.
"No, but he is working for them." She replied.
"You guys knew about an approaching evil and didn't bother to tell us?" Mars spoke up next. After powering down they Trista told them the very little she knew.
