When Chibiusa recounted to Jewel what she could regarding Kousagi, which was not much, the dark princess didn't believe this was a good idea. "Best case scenario, we locate Kousagi. However, that leaves one essential question you've not answered, sister. How do we return home?" Chibiusa found her sister's question strange. After all, Jewel loved going on adventures. So why was she making a deliberate effort NOT to go?!
"We track Bigfoot until he unlocks a portal home," clearly, the heiress hadn't thought this through. But, unfortunately, that option was the worst!
"Sis, there are like millions of universes outside of our own! So who knows if Bigfoot has any knowledge of what it's doing when it gets to one of them." Jewel explained carefully to her sister. Periodically Chibiusa overthought with her heart and not her head. But, then again, she was the daughter of Sailor Moon.
"Well, what if we help Kousagi learn how to regulate her portals?" Chibiusa suggested timidly
"While that's a far better alternative, we don't have much time remaining," Jewel looked at the timepiece.
"We have a few hours," Chibiusa begged her half-sister with her scarlet puppy-dog eyes.
"If I die, you stay away from my funeral." Jewel quipped. Nevertheless, she reluctantly agreed to go. More of Chibiusa's friends, minus Gracie, decided to come this time. This included the kittens! Elizabeth and Selina noticed their owner feeling exceptionally emotional. So, Elizabeth meowed to get Chibiusa's attention.
"Sis, what's amiss?" Chibiusa asked, ultimately noticing her half-sister's emotional state.
"All I ever wanted was a sister, and I have one. You're a Princess, but you now have another sister—a full one. None of you will want me anymore. I'll lose the only friends I've ever had!" Jewel clutched Selina as massive silver tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Don't be sad, Jewel. She can't stay there. Even if they don't want you, we'll still be your friends." Elizabeth sought to console her golden-eyed friend by rubbing against her. Instead, Jewel just embraced her and cried. Jewel's Senshi clamored around to hold her up.
"Jewel..." Chibiusa knew her half-sister had abandonment issues. However, they hadn't come up recently. "Just because I found out Kousagi exists doesn't mean I'm substituting you with her. No one can take your place in my heart." Chibiusa cuddled her rattled relative.
"Are you sure?" Jewel questioned, still needing to be more comfortable with this plan.
"We took a vow: Love and justice. That comes before anything else. We love you." Trisha smiled.
"OK." Jewel remained unconvinced. Yet they had to locate Bigfoot before he unlocked another portal.
Thankfully, it did not take long to locate Bigfoot as it no longer hid from them. However, it might still need to let them travel to another universe with it. So, the girls crept as close as they could without being seen. Then after Bigfoot lumbered into the portal, the girls raced toward it! Though they had used various modes of transport before, being in a doorway with only their body and nothing protecting them was still new. So, the girls just decided to wing it because there was no way of knowing which way to go!
Thankfully, landing on their feet this time, they realized they needed to take the time to notice where Bigfoot went to hide. Except it looked like they were back in the city on Earth! Suddenly, four girls rushed past them, and the Inner Senshi swore they were more immature versions of their mothers. Except for one who appeared to be Ami but was wearing reading glasses! Left in their dust stood a lass with hot pink pigtails, curly at the ends, aquamarine-colored eyes, and a pink kitten beside her!
"Kousagi!" Chibiusa waved cheerfully.
"Chibiusa!" Kousagi hugged her enthusiastically when she noticed the Neo-Sailor Senshi. "Wow, your teammates look so different from my companions."
"Obviously. They ARE from a different universe," another girl who looked like Ami interrupted.
"Your friends look precisely like our moms!" Emily expressed in a shocked tone.
"We're not friends, more like Kousagi's babysitters," the girl who looked like Makoto responded. These girls weren't close friends.
"Nice "friends"you got there. Do they teach in school how not to be a bitch?" Christen's statement left Kousagi's teammates speechless as it usually did to her own teammates. Then, smiling smugly, Christen poured more salt into the wound for good measure, "What's the matter? Moon cat suddenly got your tongues?"
"I resent that comment," a voice similar to Diana's came out of the pink kitten's mouth as she stood by Kousagi's feet.
"If Kousagi is Parallel Sailor Moon, her teammates better respect her, or they will get killed!" Holly supported Christen's sharp attitude this time.
"Ah, Christen might benefit from a class like that." Ariel jested.
"So, who is everyone?" Crystal asked to diffuse the tension.
Kousagi explained, "I'm Kousagi Tsukino, 2nd daughter of Neo-Queen Serenity. This is my kitten Guardian, Cosmo. I don't favor cats because I'm allergic. Instead, I prefer bunnies, but Cosmo is different."
The rest were shown compared to Chibiusa's teammates:
Mina-Parallel Sailor Venus
Amy-Parallel Sailor Mercury
Raye-Parallel Sailor Mars
Mako-Parallel Sailor Jupiter
The rest are not with Kousagi as of right now but are
Karou-Parallel Sailor Saturn
Harumi-Parallel Sailor Uranus
Michiko-Parallel Sailor Neptune
Setsuko-Parallel Sailor Pluto
"There are 50 other Sailor Senshi, but I can't recollect all of them. Oh, our dad's cousin, Mayu, is Sailor Kamen. Plus, if you've heard of the Ayakashi Sisters and Amazonrss Quartet, they are also Sailor Senshi! So who are the others who came with you?" Kousagi certainly was a well of information.
"These are my kittens, Comet, Asteroid, and Diana, my Neo-Sailor Senshi. Unfortunately, Venus's daughter, Gracie, isn't with us right now. So allow me to introduce my half-sister, Jewel. Those are her kitten and toy, Elizabeth and Selina. The rest comprise the Dark Kingdom Senshi team. Star, Ivy, Dawn, and Shadow." Chibiusa put her arm around Jewel's shoulders to comfort her.
"Half-sister? Is she from a different dimension too?" Kousagi questioned, confused.
"No, it's...complicated." Jewel couldn't get angry at Kousagi. The lassie was far too innocent. Hence, Jewel came up with this explanation instead, and the little girl seemed to understand better than one would think.
"So...I guess this universe is just lazy with names?" Christen knew the names of Kousagi's teammates were just slightly changed versions of their mother's names.
"Not all the names..." Kousagi tried to defend her universe as much as possible.
Comet, Asteroid, Diana, and Elizabeth got along with Cosmo, even if it was unclear if she was from Mau like Luna and Artemis. However, even if Chibiusa and Kousagi shared the same interests, the other girls had such varying opinions that they could not agree on anything!
"Look, since this is proving to be a colossal waste of time, can we go home now?!" Christen snapped, fed up with how bad things were going.
Let me see if I can..."Parallel Moon Power, Make Up!" Kousagi transformed. Now, her cones are covered by bunny head odangos and earrings. Same for the clips in her hair, her tiara gem, and where her brooch should be. She wore a dark red choker, a pink collar, and two gold stripes. A yellow front bow, yellow and pink shoulder, elbow and knee padding, pink back bow and skirt, and white boots!
"Too much emphasis on the bunny theme!" Christen snorted. Kousagi admittedly looked a little ridiculous, as bunnies are not intimidating.
"What a dummy. We scarcely know these individuals. They could be antagonists feigning to be allies," the Neo and Dark Kingdom Senshi heard Mina say.
"We're not enemies, but I can guarantee I can be your worst nightmare!" Christen hissed.
"Too bad your going home now..." Mina countered.
"Oh, don't worry. We'll be back. That thing tends to happen to us." Christen forewarned the unusual group.
Kousagi's Parallel Senshi said no more as they did not want to deal with these visitors anymore. To Chibiusa's friends' relief, Kousagi seemed to have better control over her portals than previously thought. Chibiusa wanted to ask why Kousagi was not born in her dimension, as Chibiusa existed in this dimension too. It was like Sailor Moon when she saw Neo-Queen Serenity, but how to word that question evaded her brain. They were sucked into the portal and dumped back in Crystal Tokyo's woods! In this dimension, the woods is where the city was in the Parallel dimension.
"Dawn is breaking..." Trisha pointed to the red horizon!
"We still have to tell our parents what happened to Gracie!" Crystal yelled. Finally remembering the poor redhead they left at the hospital, the girls returned to the campsite.
