"Amazoness Jungle Arrow!"
A bright pink light blasted Opal away from the Sailor Senshi.
"Dream Catcher Activation!" Sacred Scrolls tied Opal into place. Sailor Earth managed to untie the others with a quick flash of the terrain attack.
Opal glared at the new arrivals.
"Sailor Ceres!"
"Sailor Juno!"
"Sailor Pallas!"
"Sailor Vesta!"
"Sailor Quartet Arrives!"
"Along with the Guardian of dreams, Sailor Elysion!"
A woman around twenty five years old, with long silvery hair reaching the ground landing in front of the Sailor Quartet. Her Sailor Fuku was blue and pink, with a top similar to the starlights, see through kimono like sleeves, a mini skirt, and strap sandal heels. Her dark blue eyes stared coldly at Opal.
Opal broke through her bonds. She was out numbered. But she did the information that she wanted.
"Sorry Sailor Brats. That's all I have time for today. I'll see you later…" Opal disappeared.
Sailor Moon looked around and found that Sailor Earth, the Zodiac, and the Pegasus, disappeared.
"You guys?" Chibi Moon said.
The Sailor Quartet de transformed and took on more modern day looks (remember the last episode of Super S? That's their normal outfits)
Sailor Elysion also de transformed. She was now wearing a stylish black pants suite, with a pink blouse. Her hair was now the length to reach her butt and was tied back in a low ponytail.
"Let me introduce ourselves more properly, Princess Serenity, Prince Endymion, and Small Lady. I'm Kagura Hiroshima." Kagura said, getting on one knee to bow.
"And we're the Small Lady's guardians." Ceres said.
"My guardians?" Chibi Moon said.
"Princess, prince… there's a great disturbance in the galaxy…" Kagura said.
(Nagoya Rainbow Hall; a week and a half later)
Take moved about the stage as rehearsals for the concert continued.
itsukara usore sou itsukara
donna 'ku ni donna 'tte dokomade shite'ru no
watashi ni wanai motomete'ru no
sou sobeteri ga fukurami da shite'ru
Satsuki looked up from the sound controls. Take seemed to be keeping herself busy with trying to make sure everything was perfect for the concert. She also seemed to be sleeping a lot more than usual as well.
"Is anything wrong, Satsuki?" Akane asked, as she walked in with two cups of coffee in hand.
"I'm just a little concerned for Take- Chan." Satsuki said.
"I am too. But we have to see this concert through. It could be our only chance to finding the princess." Akane said as she went off to bug the lighting people about how the lights on the right side of the stage wasn't right.
"Hm. I wonder where Maru- San is today…" Satuki said to herself as she took a sip of the lukewarm liquid.
Take, while singing was thinking about the dream the night before…
(Flashback)
'Pegasus… are you sure you're alright?'
Take was in a plain blue gown while sitting next to a resting Pegasus.
'Don't worry, I'll be fine. I just need to rest. Opal's attacks took a lot out of me…' The Pegasus replied.
'Why did you come out of the dream world to see me? Couldn't you have waited until I was asleep?'
'No. this was important. Cronus's seal broke. Now the Gem Guardians have their full power back. Soon, the barrier will be wide enough for Cronus himself to go through. If he does, then it's all over.'
Take sat there shocked.
'The Princess's seal broke? Is that even possible? What about the Galaxy Guardian?'
'The Gem Guardians must be finding another way to enter the Galaxy. If they went through the way of the Galaxy Guardian, then we wouldn't have to fight them.'
'This is getting out of hand, Pegasus. I'm running out of ideas about what to do.'
'just be strong. That's all I can honestly say…'
(End of Flashback)
"Ok, Miss Komatsu! We're done for the day!" a director said.
Take walked off.
"Take- Chan!"
Take turned and found Minako running up to her from the dancing group.
"Oh, hi Minako…" Take said.
"Take- Chan, you look exhausted. Is anything wrong?" Minako asked. She was completely oblivious to the events of last night. Minako still didn't know that Take was Sailor Earth, and Take was hoping to keep it that way for a while.
"I just had a late night…" Take said.
"I know! Show's in three days now! I so can't wait!" Minako said happily.
"Yup… well, I'm going to try to catch some sleep so…"
"Miss Take Komatsu, famous J-pop star at the young age of 17 years old…" a woman said. She was wearing a red pants suite, a white blouse, and sandal heels to match. Her long blonde hair was tied back into a high pony tail.
"May I help you?" Take asked.
"Oh right! Sorry. I'm Rika Satoma. I run the pop culture article at Tokyo Times…" the woman said smoothly. "I was hoping to get an interview with you about the upcoming concert."
"I'm sorry. But I can't do interviews without my manager." Take said, as she brushed Rika away.
"But please! Miss Komatsu."
"I said no…" Take said firmly, as she slammed the door in Rika's face.
I should have known this would have been difficult… Rika said to herself.
(Back in Space)
The Black Pegasus thought long and hard.
"The other two Pegasuses are on Earth?" he finally said.
Opal bowed.
"Yes my lord. I had an encounter with them last night."
"What of the Golden Pegasus?"
"I don't know my lord. I only spotted the Rainbow Pegasus and the Silver Pegasus."
The Pegasus turned its red eyes towards Opal. She gulped.
"That will be all…" he said. Opal raced out of the throne room. For a minute, she thought he was going to be rid of her the same way as her sister Garnet.
"So… you actually did some good, huh?"
Opal twirled around to find Sapphire sitting there.
"What do you know?"
"Only that you haven't even caught a sailor crystal yet. You're starting to lose Cronus's favor…"
Opal glared at Sapphire.
"Who said I wasn't going to get any Sailor Crystals?"
Sapphire raised her eye brows.
"You're not the only one with power to take on the Outer Senshi…"
(Back in Tokyo)
Rika turned towards Minako. Minako gave Rika a nervous look.
"Um, do you need help with anything?" Minako asked.
"Actually yes. I think you can help me…" Rika said, walking towards Minako.
"I would like to see… your crystal…"
(Some where near backstage)
"Usagi- Chan, are you sure we're going the right way?" Hotaru asked.
"That's a dumb question. You know she doesn't have a sense of direction at all." Rei said in a huff.
"Rei!" Usagi whined.
"Hey, what's that light?" Chibi Usa asked. A scream was heard.
"Minako- Chan!"
"Mars Eternal Power!"
"Saturn Eternal Power!"
"Pink Moon Crystal Power!"
"Silver Moon Crystal Power!"
"Make Up!"
At that moment, Minako had her Sailor Crystal taken away. Ruby stood there with a smile, as Minako faded away.
"Minako- Chan!"
Ruby turned to find Sailor Moon near the brink of tears.
"Oh I'm sorry. Was she a friend of yours?" Ruby said.
"You'll pay for that! Mars Flame Sniper!"
Ruby dodged Mars's attack.
Take, Satsuki, and Akane heard the commotion.
"Aquarius Star Power!"
"Libra Star Power!"
"Earth Star Power!"
"Make Up!"
Ruby slashed her whip around, hitting the sailor senshi.
"Silent Glaive Surprise!"
"Gem Power!"
Saturn struggled over the energy battle. Then she was slammed into the wall.
"Cosmos Star Reaction!"
Ruby used her whip to block Sailor Moon's attack.
"This is starting to bore me…" Ruby said.
"Aquarius Water Vase Elapse!"
Aquarius, with her water bowl, released water like energy at Ruby, throwing her off balance.
Libra broke out her whip and slashed at Ruby.
"Sailor Moon!" Sailor Earth said, as she ran toward the Sailor Senshi.
"Boy am I glad to see you." Sailor Moon said.
"You Sailor Scouts are really starting to get on my nerves." Ruby said, as she place a barrier up. "I'll have to finish this later…" Then Ruby disappeared.
"Who was killed this time?"
The Senshi turned to find Maru and Kagura standing at the doorway.
Pluto tried another spell at the time gate that lead to the Silver Millennium. The barrier remained.
"This has to be guardian magic." Pluto said. "If only I knew what guardian placed the barrier up..."
"The answer…" a voice said behind Pluto. "Lies within the Galaxy Cauldron…"
Pluto turned around and disappeared in red light…
