Recap:

To everyone's surprise Alkina busted out laughing, they looked at her with shock.

"Oh Raye, you were always so quick to judge." Alkina stared Raye down and gave her a smug smile. "That was one of your many flaws."

Raye was about to grab Alkina, do something to react to her comment but Lita grabbed her before she could try anything. Alkina looked around and settled her eyes on Serena's confused face, she found it amusing. Soon they all had confused faces to go along with Serena's.

"Whoops, guess I got some explaining to do, huh?"

"Well, are you going to explain or not?" Said Raye tapping her foot in annoyance, Alkina sighed.

"I think it's time you all knew the truth." Alkina's face became serious. "Let's go somewhere more private."

"We can go to my place." Suggested Darien, Alkina smiled at him.

"Okay sounds like a plan, lead the way!" Said Alkina, putting her hands on her hips.

They walked to Darien's apartment relatively quiet apart from Serena's constant grunting and grumbling. Alkina giggled realising that Serena was mad at Darien for suggesting to go to his house so quick.

When they arrived Darien unlocked the door, let them in and shut the door behind him. Alkina sat down roughly on the ground and put her hands in her lap, preparing the story she was about to tell. The rest of the gang sat down too, unprepared but ready to listen to her.

"I know about you all, I know you are the Sailors that defend this world and I know about your past as well as your near future." Alkina closed her eyes and gulped rather loudly as if pushing down a painful thought.

The room grew tense.

"Let's go back to the start, 1'000 years ago on the Moon. As you know Silver Millennium was full of life before Beryl and her army attacked but, You don't know the whole story."

Everyone looked at Alkina in curiosity and fear, what didn't they know? They had a lot of their memories back so what could they possibly of missed?

"Beryl didn't pick just any day to attack Silver Millennium but was informed of their most vulnerable time as well as the best way to infiltrate the castle." Alkina closed her eyes as she spoke, travelling back through her mind. "The guy that gave her that information was dangerous but knew well of the moon kingdom. I'm sure you all are well aware of them by now." Alkina took a deep breath and opened her eyes as she said their name. "Chaos..."

The room filled with shock, the Scouts held their breath. Serena gasped, flashbacks from her fight with Galaxia aka Chaos loomed in her mind. Serena began to panic, Darien grabbed Serena's hand trying to calm her down. After the battle, Serena would have frequent panic attacks late at night from nightmares that she would have. It was just too much, they all had hoped that they never had to hear that name ever, but once again it's been brought back up and they wish it hadn't.

"Yeah, I expected that reaction. I am aware of your battle with him and Galaxia and that it's a bit of a sensitise topic but there is more that you will need to know about him." Alkina scrunched up her nose and sighed like she didn't want to talk about him either. But, she knew it needed to be done whether she liked it or not.

The black bun girl shook her head and looked up to give a small smile, her eyes tearing up just the slightest. Her grip on her skirt tightened as if perverting herself from doing or saying anything rash.

"But I'll put that aside for now, we'll talk more about it later." Changing topics Alkina relaxed. "I know you probably still don't trust me so ask me anything you like." The Scouts looked at each other not knowing what to say but Raye jumped at the opportunity.

"Who are you exactly, and how do you know all this?" Raye tensed up, still wary of her. Alkina let out a small giggle, amused at Raye's stiff tone.

"How rude of me, I haven't introduced myself properly yet now have I?" Alkina cleared her throat. "I am Alkina, second daughter of Queen Serenity and Princess of the Moon."

The saviours of the world who always had so much to say were speechless. Frozen in shock and disbelief of the bombshell that had been dropped upon them.

"What b-but how?" "How is this possible?!" "I don't believe it!" Was all they could say, it was tough processing all this information.

Serena felt sweat trickle down her face, her expression unchanging. The blonde's throat was so dry that when she went to speak nothing came out but a muffled sigh. She trembled, feeling like her heart was going to jump out of her chest. That's when it hit her, Alkina was her twin sister from her past life on the Moon.

Rini sat between Serena and Darien, she was too busy trying to take in all this new information that she hadn't said anything since she came in. She wondered how this can this be, she had never seen her before and her mother never said she had a sister.

Rini stood up and slammed her hands onto the table. "Then prove it!" She yelled, Serena looked at her future daughter surprised at her sudden outburst.

"Don't worry Rini, I was getting to that." Alkina winked at her future niece, Rini flinched at the mention of her name. She never told her what her name was nor did anyone else, she didn't like this.

"I going to open the rest of your non-existing memory's using the Luna Mind Meld." Alkina stood up and gestured everyone to get up as well.

Luna blinked at Alkina unaware that this was possible. "You can do that?" Alkina giggled at the cat.

"But of course, you taught me." Alkina leaned over and taped Luna on the nose. "Except I will be using a much stronger one than what you used on the girls."

"Oh, okay then." Luna wasn't sure why she would teach her that.

"Don't worry you'll remember." Alkina clapped her hands together raring to go. "Alright, let's do this!"

Everyone was still unsure if this was the best idea, they barely knew her. But unfortunately, they had no choice but to trust her.

Watching as a crescent moon formed on Alkina's forehead and feeling the air in the room shift, Serena shivered. It was time. As the light of the crescent moon shone out onto Darien and the girl's foreheads, they closed their eyes as the memories became clear.

Next time on Sailor Moon Solar Eclipse:

"Serena, you're not going to play in those flowers all day are you?" Serena looked up at the black-haired princess that stood over her, wearing the same dress like her with black detail instead of gold. "We have to start getting ready for tonight's party soon. I mean we are the guests of honour, it's our birthday after all." Alkina watched her sister stare at the planet Earth and sighed.

"Hey, Alkina." Muttered Serena after a few moments of silence. "Do you ever wonder what it's like down there?" Alkina smiled at her sister.

"Alkina, we'll always be together, right?" Whispered Serena, rolled up in bedsheets and blankets with Alkina, the lights of the castle shimmered through the window and down the bed.

"ALKINA WHERE ARE YOU?!" Cried Serena, her tears sliding down her face as she collapsed on the ground. "What do I do? That horrible woman is destroying the kingdom and I can't find Alkina or mother."

"Calm down Serenity, we'll find them." Prince Darien of Earth helped up the princess. "You just need to hang in there for now and don't worry, I'll protect you."
