"Moon Eternal! Make Up!"

Eternal Sailor Moon ran through the studio, trying to find where the screams were coming from. Then Sailor Moon stopped dead in her tracks. She saw something she was hoping to never see again. Two piles of ash were in front of her.

"Jupiter and Mercury are gone." A woman's voice said. She stepped out of the shadows.

"Now I think I should take the moon's crystal." Emerald said, as she aimed her bracelet at Sailor Moon. Then something white flew at Emerald, trying to claw her eyes out.

"Damn cat!" Emerald shouted, as she tossed Artemis to the side.

"Sailor Moon! Move!" Sailor Mars shouted.

"Mars Flame Sniper!"

Emerald dodged Mars's attack.

"Emerald Sea Attack!" Emerald blasted Mars and Sailor Moon.

Before Emerald was able to finish them off…

"Earth Aquatic Spear!"

A blue laser shot at Emerald's hand.

"I just about had it with you!" Sailor Earth shouted.

Emerald stood there shocked.

"You… how can you be…?"

"Alive? That's my secret. Now return the Sailor Crystals and get off this planet!" Sailor Earth said with a deadly glare. Emerald just laughed.

"That's not going to happen, sweetie. Once we have all of the Sailor Crystals of the Guardians of this system, domination will be easily obtained." Emerald started to fade away.

"No!" Sailor Moon said, while reaching out to Emerald. But she went through her and crashed to the floor.

"But if you're looking for a fight, I can help you out there." Emerald said. She released a string of dark energy at a nearby sound booth.

"Have fun!" Emerald laughed as she disappeared.

The booth started to morph into a female youkai.

"Soundcheck!" the youkai said.

"Not again!" Sailor Mars shouted. Sailor Moon was too broken up to be of any help.

"Mars get Sailor Moon out of here!" Sailor Earth shouted, while dodging the spiked microphone that the youkai was throwing at her.

"Why should I listen to you?" Mars argued.

"Just do it!"

"Soundcheck!" the youkai screamed, as she used her chord as a whip, tying Mars, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Earth in place.

"No, no, no, all wrong." The youkai said in a pitiful voice. Artemis tried to attack the youkai, but was slapped aside.

"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"

Sailor Venus appeared at the scene, attacking the youkai with one of her attacks. Then a red rose struck the youkai in the forehead.

"Wha!?" the youkai shouted.

"Sailor Moon! Do your thing!" Sailor Venus called out, as Tuxedo Mask entered the scene.

Sailor Moon was about to start until she finally realized something…

"My Tier, it's gone!"

Sailor Earth ran up to Sailor Moon and grabbed her hands.

Don't worry, I'll help."

Then, a glow came from their hands. A new wand appeared. It was silver with an orb with feathers on it, on top of that was a smaller orb with a star in it. Along with that wand, a wand that looked like a miniature of Sailor Pluto's staff appeared.

"Let's do it!" Sailor Earth called out.

"Lunar Terrain Eclipse!"

A gold and silver light went through the youkai. It slowly reverted back to the sound booth.

Before Sailor Moon was able to say thanks, Sailor Earth was gone again.

Usagi, Mamoru, Rei, and Mina left the studios without saying goodbye to Take or the others. Usagi was broken up enough over the loss of Makoto and Ami.

"They have to be planning something big if their stealing Sailor Crystals." Rei said.

"That means you guys got to be more careful." Mamoru said. Usagi sighed.

Why now? Why did the enemy chose now to ruin the peace on earth? Usagi's thoughts were mixed after seeing the piles of ash that were her friends. Usagi leaned into Mamoru for support.

If I lose them again, I don't think I can handle it…

Take walked out of the studios with Satsuki.

"I got there too late. They already have Jupiter and Mercury's crystals." Take said.

"I'm a little worried about Sailor Moon. I've seen the way she acts. She must be broken up about it." Satsuki said.

"Somehow, Nee- San, I doubt that."

"Why?

"Because she seen them die before. Sure, it's hard to see it again and again, but after Galaxia, I think it just made her a stronger warrior. She can be able to stand up by herself, but with her friends always being there, it's proven to be rather difficult for her to see it." Take said, as if she'd known from experience.

"So what do you suggest?" Satsuki asked. Take gave Satsuki a look.

"Try to find a way to keep her friends alive, but not with her." Take said, as she raised her transformation pendent.

"There are four more sailor senshi out there?" Hotaru said to Setsuna. The outers sensed the disappearance of Jupiter and Mercury and were investigating it. It was difficult to get answers from Usagi, who still had a hard time talking because of the shock.

"After Makoto and Ami were killed, four asteroids in the belt outside of the galaxy began to glow. They were supposed to be awakening in the 30th century, but something must be altering time enough to awaken them now. Now we need to find the girls who are supposed to hold the power of the Asteroids." Setsuna explained.

"Any news about the Zodiac Senshi or Sailor Earth?" Michiru asked.

"Absolutely nothing. It's as if someone went into the Space and Time void and erased their very existence. The closest I could get was an event in the Silver Millennium. But there's some sort of barrier around that time gate that I can't get through."

"But Setsuna-mama, don't you have complete control over the gate, no matter what era it is?" Hotaru said in a panic. She wanted to have the new enemy defeated and over with, so they could return to their normal lives.

"Usually I could. But there's something wrong about the barrier there. I have to go back soon to try to break through again."

"In the meantime," Haruka said. "Michiru and I will keep an eye on the princess."

"Hotaru," Setsuna said.

"Yes?"

"I want you to go and stay with Rei for a while."

"But can't I stay with Haruka- papa and Michiru- mama?"

"We move a lot faster with just the two of us, though we had a difficult time trying to catch up to Sailor Earth the night before." Michiru said gently to Hotaru.

"Alright, I'll stay with Rei-Chan."

"Remember," Setsuna said to the other three. "Protecting the Princess is our main and only mission."

"Right…"
