Chapter 12: Moving On Up


The living room was quiet and full, the air pregnant with shock… to all but two. Rei and Usagi had stopped arguing when the news was turned on and everyone's attention landed on the television. The screen was split in two, one side with a picture, the other with a reporter. Ami stole a look at the others, to find Rei and Usagi both wearing amused smirks. The picture that the reported was talking about was of two guards that had been subdued in the intimates section of a shopping center-their pants around their ankles, one bent over, his hands tied to the bottom of a clothing rack with a couple pairs of women's undies with the other bent over him, his arms over his head tied to the top of a clothing rack, both of each mans ankles tied to different racks, all tied with bras and panties, and to top it off each gagged with a pretty pair of underwear. "The senshi have struck." She told the millions watching, "The 'soldiers of justice' known as the Sailor Senshi struck last night, the two who appeared here last night were Tsukino Usagi also known as Sailor Moon and Hino Rei also known as Sailor Mars." The reporter said, the screen filling for a second with pictures of both girls in senshi and regular form. "They came last night and attacked all of the guards before stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise right off the walls. How they got in and then left with all of the stolen merchandise is still a mystery. The Sailor Senshi are a menace to this city. The youma that attack us are drawn here by them!" she announced with conviction. "The other Sailor Senshi each have identities in our city." As she spoke pictures of the senshi appeared on the screen, both transformed and not. "The police are already getting into position to deal with these so-called heroines. Mizuno Ami aka Sailor Mercury, Kino Makoto aka Sailor Jupiter, Aino Minako aka Sailor Venus, Tomoe Hotaru aka Sailor Saturn, Ten'ou Haruka aka Sailor Uranus, Kaiou Michiru aka Sailor Neptune and Meiou Setsuna aka Sailor Pluto. Along with them is Chiba Mamoru, the caped crusader known as Tuxedo Kamen."

"Don't worry," Luna told everyone after receiving a very worried look from Ami. "Setsuna-chan put a very strong protective barrier around this house last night. Nothing but us and the senshi can pass through it." She told them, lightening the situation just a smidge before Usagi stood up and looked around. "We are the Sailor Senshi, and we are the ones being persecuted." She spoke lightly looking toward the other senshi. "You however," she went on, looking in Naru's direction who sat quietly next to Umino trying to be invisible. "and all of the rest of you," she looked all around at their friends that they had dragged into this mess, "have no obligation to go along with us to the mansion. I'm not saying that you're not wanted, but I am saying that once we leave here today there is no going back. They'll realize soon enough who's with us. 'Cause when they can't get to us they'll try to get to our friends, to the ones we love. If you all are not there when they come looking your lives as you knew them will have nothing left to go back to. Until we can fix this we are all on the run… so to speak. We'll have disappeared and we won't be able to go back. Myself and the other senshi don't want to lose any of you, that's why we've gathered you all here." She said, tears brimming her eyes with what she was about to say. "But some of you," she said looking once again at Naru and then Umino, "have families, parents and a whole life ahead of you. Some of you are just beginning your careers," she looked at Yuuichirou, Motoki and Reika… the tears in her eyes falling down her cheeks. Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm down. Feeling a hand grip hers, she looked to find Rei's amethyst eyes brimming with tears. The miko nodded at her princess and squeezed her hand, reassuring her that she was doing the right thing. "You are all welcome to come with us," she told their friends, "but if you wish to return home and live your lives through this you still can. We can teleport each of you home if that is your decision." She took a breath before continuing. "You don't have to decide right away, after breakfast you can make your decision."

"I for one will stay by my baby and you girls no matter what." Ikuko told the girls as she stood up, "Usagi-chan was right in letting you all choose and she was also right on one other thing… Breakfast would be a good thing for everyone!" she smiled and made her way to the kitchen, closely followed by Ami's mother Marie. "I'm with you too honey," she told her daughter as she walked past her.

Kenji opened his mouth seeming like he was ready to create another problem. Silenced by a sigh from Usagi after Rei sent her princess a pleading look. Sighing in relief Rei stalked over to Kenji followed by Usagi, Rei grabbing rope and Usagi grabbing duct tape from their sub-space pockets, "Mr. Tsukino-san I love you like a father, I always have but you need to learn when to give in." Rei told the older man. "You're daughter is the sole reason this entire galaxy isn't blown to bits right now, and she's doing everything in her power to make sure that doesn't happen. She's a sweet and caring person and a strong and brave warrior. We senshi have pledged our lives to her and to the survival of righteousness over evil. You know your daughter. Just look inside yourself. You'll see." The miko told her 'adopted father' hoping to cool things over and help him see the truth. "Rei-chan's right Dad," Usagi told him. "I don't want to have to tie you up again, I don't like it. But this isn't something you can change. It's out of your hands." Nodding his consent to behave Kenji kept his mouth shut.

"He'll have to learn sometime." Haruka chuckled in the corner, Michiru giving her a stern look.


Ikuko stood in the kitchen at the stove cooking pancakes while Marie stood at the counter mixing blue berry muffin mix in a large bowl, two more bowls sitting beside her waiting to be stirred. "I'm sorry for the way my husband's been acting. Kenji-san is taking this senshi thing so hard. I understand he doesn't want our little girl to grow up and have such weight on her shoulders, but he had no reason to treat Usagi-chan and the other girl's like that." Ikuko said softly to Marie as she flipped a couple pancakes.

"Ami-chan can a handle a bit of bad attitude, for a long time she didn't have any friends at all and was treated quite badly at school…" Marie told Usagi's mother, "and I'm sure the others can handle his actions well enough too." She said as she finished mixing the second bowl and started on the third, moving to the large table where the muffin pans sat ready to have the mix put in them. She sat the bowl down, mixing the contents a bit more before walking back to the counter and grabbing the other two and bringing them back to the table as well. Bending over she began filling each space in the pans with the mixture, losing track of how many muffins it would make.

"I just wish he'd come around and see how foolish he's been." Ikuko said as she fired pancakes onto three large plates as she made more and more, three different flavors too - - regular, blueberry and apple cinnamon.

Marie put the muffin pans in the oven and set the timer before sitting down at the table, Ikuko walking over to a cabinet and pulling out a large book before walking over to the table. Setting the large book in front of Marie Ikuko walked back to the stove to continue cooking pancakes. Opening the book Marie smiled as she looked at the first page. A group picture of the sailor senshi in civilian form, their smiles and sparkling eyes shining with happiness. "I wish I had a photo album like this. I was never home enough…" Marie told Ikuko as she flipped through the pages, looking at the various pictures of Usagi and her friends.

By the time the timer on the oven went off Marie was three pages from the end of the book. Standing up she put oven mitts on and retrieved the muffin pans from the oven, setting them on the table to cool and turning the oven off before sitting back down to look at the last few pages of the photo album.

Ikuko finished making the last of the pancakes, turned the burners on the stove off and noticed Marie close the photo album as she called to Usagi for some help and a moment later heard Marie call to Ami as well.

The two girls walked into the kitchen, Rei trailing behind smiles on all three faces as Usagi pecked her mom on the cheek and Ami wrapped her arms around her mother. "We thought you could use the extra hands!" Rei told the two moms before hugging both of them.

Ikuko walked out into the living room, one plate in each hand, each plate filled to the toppling point with pancakes. "Regular," she said as she sat one plate down, "Blue berry," she said as she set the other plate down, returning to the kitchen and returning back with a third plate of pancakes, "and finally Apple Cinnamon!" she told them all with a giggle. Marie came in next, a large bowl in each hand "Loads of blue berry muffins," she told them all as she sat the bowls down before pulling a bowl of butter out from inside her apron followed by a large amount of silverware. Usagi came next with two large pitchers in each hand, "Hot tea," she said as she put them on the table as well, Ami and Rei same in together, Ami carrying two pitchers and Rei with a large stack of plates and a stack of cups. "Apple juice and orange juice," Ami told everyone as she sat the other pitchers down. Rei handed everyone a plate and cup and their breakfast feast began.


The group was just about finished eating their breakfast when Naru stood up. Reaching her hand out to Usagi, who was sitting near by,she smiled when her long time friend grabbed her hand and joined her on her feet. Holding on to both of her blond friends hands Naru's eyes brimmed with tears. "I'm so proud of you Usagi-chan, Serenity-hime." She told her friend. "You are truly a remarkable person and I know we'll all mean so much to you always and it took a lot of strength to make that speech earlier." She told the moon princess, a tear rolling down her cheek. "And I know you were right in what you said. A lot of us still have so much to do with our lives. I – I'm going to be marrying Umino-chan soon." She said glancing down at the engagement ring. "I didn't want this moment to come but it has and you know, you knew what was best for me, for all of us and you know what my answer is. But what about the rest of you?" she asked the others, looking around. "I'm going to miss all of you," she said looking at the group of senshi and their families. "But you'll always be in my heart. Good luck" she told them, hugging Usagi so tight the girl couldn't breathe before letting go and taking Umino's hand, leading him a few feet away to let the others talk.

"Mamoru-chan, my good friend." Motoki said standing up, Reika standing up with him, hand in hand. "We too have lives to start." Motoki told his best friend. "I'm always here for you man, and you too girls." He told the senshi. "You're all like a family to me."

"You've all been so good to us," Reika sniffed, fighting back tears. "And there's something I've been meaning to tell you all, and now seems like the perfect time. You all are like my family too and I have something to ask. Usagi-chan… Serenity-hime… " She said taking the girls hands in her own. "Will you allow me the honor of naming my little girl after you. I'm pregnant and I'd love for you to be my little bunny's godmother." Gasps broke out from everyone including Motoki as Usagi began crying.

"Yes, Reika-chan. I'd love to be your little bunny's godmother." She said, enveloping the girl in a hug. Pulling away Usagi smiled, sad but happy at the same time as she watched Motoki kiss Reika passionately.

"Wow uh… I don't have any bombshells to drop or fancy speeches." Yuuichirou spoke up as he stepped forward.

"Err.. Yuuichirou-chan wait, before you make your decision known I have something to say." Rei told her boyfriend. "I know I scared you back there when I flipped out on Kenji-san. And I know we have never been that close. I said I'd be your girlfriend and never really treated you like I should've treated a boyfriend. I know I shouldn't be saying this in front of all of these people but it's now or never. I should've sat you down and talked to you. I should have never led you on. I don't think of you in the way but I want you to know, no matter what decision you make you'll always have a place in my heart. You are one of the sweetest, most caring people I've ever met and knowing you has made me a better person. I want our friendship to last forever, no matter what you choose." The miko told him, rushing forward and hugging him fiercely.

"Wow uh, I do feel like I don't know you Rei-chans or any of you girls." Yuuichirou told the senshi, "But I do. I know the kind of people you are. I know how you laugh and smile, I know how you will react to something before it ever happens and I know none of you ever meant to hurt us by not telling us. I understand that now. Rei-chan," he said looking into her purple eyes, sadness in his depths. "I'm truly sorry that us as a couple didn't work out. I really like you but I see what you mean. And I'll be here for you always, remember that. I've already made a deal with Grandpa," he told her. "He's staying with you, you and the Jinja are all he has. I've promised to look after the Jinja for him so he can be with you. The Hikawa Jinja's in good hands. Good luck girls, Mamoru-chan."

Hugs all around, doubling, tripling the hugs… the senshi and their friends said goodbye. Circling around each set of friends, one at a time, the senshi called upon their powers and teleported their friends home. With the group a bit smaller now, Mamoru and the senshi looked at their family… the Tsukino's, Marie Mizuno, Grandpa Hino as well as Luna and Artemis. "It's time to go." Luna told them all, "Grab what you want to take from here,we'll be going shortly-" she stopped mid sentence when a shrill beeping sound came from the wrist communicator of Minako. Answering it, Minako stood with the senshi huddled around her so all could see the tiny screen. It was Sailor Pluto. Eternal Sailor Pluto.

"Pluto? What's going on? Why are you dressed like that…" Luna asked her from where she'd jumped up into Usagi's arms to see the screen.

"I felt the need for more power." The green haired senshi told the cat, " There's a youma attack. Five nasty ones and their in a very populated part of tokyo and I felt we'll need it very soon."

"But the eternal powers are not stable." Artemis responded from Minako's arms "You senshi have to evolve over time to be eternal senshi, forcing it won't give you the full use of the powers." He told her.

"I know that Artemis-chan, I called on more power, I can feel we're going to need this extra bit of help. And we'll grow into the rest of the powers over time. You all should call more power into yourselves as well. It will make our regular attacks more powerful. It's okay Luna," she said looking at the cat. "We'll all need to be at our strongest."

"We're on our way." Minako answered, closing the communicator.

"Moon Eternal, Make Up!"

"Mercury Eternal, Make Up!"

"Mars Eternal, Make Up!"

"Jupiter Eternal, Make Up!"

"Venus Eternal, Make Up!"

"Uranus Eternal, Make Up!"

"Neptune Eternal, Make Up!"

"Saturn Eternal, Make Up!"

Mamoru opened his jacket and gestured, opening his sub-space pocket, pulling out a rose. The rose glowed, engulfing him in the light and transforming him into Tuxedo Kamen.

"I have wings!" Jupiter squealed excitedly, noticing Ami already had her computer out and was scanning them.

"Yes, but unlike Sailor Moon, they're only part of the transformation. We can't use them, we aren't that skilled yet. We haven't come into that level of our powers and abilities yet. But this transformation does give us a good power boost and a raise in our defenses. We won't get hurt so badly."

"Awww." Jupiter pouted with Uranus, looking at everyone's set of pearly white wings.

"How did you deal with it, Usagi?" Saturn asked, referring to when Usagi had first been able to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon and hadn't been able to use her wings..

"They stopped feeling like they shouldn't be there after I transformed a couple of times but I still got the feeling every so often that I should be able to use them. It was quite irritating some times. You'll get used to it until you grow into your powers." She told them.

Minako looked at Tuxedo Kamen and their family members. "Mamoru-san why don't you take them to the mansion and get them settled in."

"Yeah, that might be a good idea…" Sailor Moon agreed looking around at the others.

"Are you sure Usako?" he asked her with worry.

"Yeah Mamo-chan I'll be fine. We'll be fine." She told him walking over to him and kissing his cheek.

Mars rolled her eyes, a pang of jealousy grabbing her and she fought hard to ignore it. One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes…and still they were being all cutesy. "Okay, that's enough Usa-chan." Mars grunted, walking up to the two love birds, clamping her hand around Usagi's arm and hauling her back toward the rest of the senshi.

'Usa-chan?' Usagi thought after Mars had let her go. 'I like it. I'll keep it…but only my Rei-chan can me that.' She finished her thought with a smile.

"How will we get there without people noticing?" Marie asked quietly, getting back the important matter at hand.

"How do we know where 'there' is?" Shingo asked, looking to his sister with worry.

"Usagi will tell Mamoru where the place is and a less noticeable way of getting there." Mars told them. "There's a back way through the woods."

"Will we be okay with out you all?" Ikuko asked, unsure that they would be alright without the senshi with them.

"We'll be fine," Grandpa Hino assured her. "We'll be with the Earth Prince after all, right?"

Nodding Mamoru de-transformed and looked to his princess "Where are we going Usako?" he asked, getting his instructions.


"They're strong, but not strong enough, Mistress." Shairon said, his evil grin widening in the shadows. Looking to the female figure before him, he contemplated a moment before forming his thoughts to words. "They are growing stronger, trusting their powers and abilities more. It is good. The stronger they become, the stronger they feel…the more energy I can steal from them in the end!" he finished with a great deep voiced laugh. The woman's red eyes gleamed in the darkness as she laid a hand on his forearm, her blood red nails scratching him as she squeezed.

"The more energy you gather, the closer we'll be to finding the two in the prophecy." She told him, his blood welling under her nails.


Jupiter leapt over a bolt of energy and raced toward Sailor Pluto, Mercury tight on her heels. With a yell Jupiter flung herself at the orange lion-like creature, landing a flying boot to the youma's side. Staggering, it growled and turned away from where it had been attacking Pluto and locked it's eyes on Jupiter.

"You look like could use a breather, the others can handle the youma and I've got Mercury with me. Just relax for a while." She told the Time Senshi with a wink.

Moving in front of Pluto, Sailor Mercury looked toward the youma. "Shine Aqua Illusion!" she commanded, flinging her hand toward the youma, causing her energy to create a dozen ice crystals before they combined in the air, striking the creature as a huge ice shard.

Sailor Jupiter watched the ice shard pierce the youma's shoulder with a smile, but changed to a more serious and pissed off expression when the growling youma turned a hate-filled gaze to Mercury before bearing it's teeth and launching itself at her. With a shout Jupiter leapt toward her friend and tackled her to the ground, just barely escaping the attack. "You son-of-a-bitch, you're dead!" Jupiter barked at the creature, her heart pounding at the near death of her best friend as she called upon her powers. "SUPREME THUNDER!" She yelled, tapping into the powers of her planet, electricity flying from her tiara's antennae. Flashing bright green the attack spread like a blanket over the battlefield, a streak of power barely missing Mars battling another youma. The power continued to flow from Jupiter, getting stronger and stronger before she started to glow a bright green, rising and floating five inches from the ground. As the electricity pumped uncontrollably outward her eyes glowed with the power of Jupiter and she screamed as it became too much for her body, frying her from the complete lack of control and flying toward the youma, killing it. Jupiter fell to the ground in a heap.

"Jupiter!" Sailor Moon screamed as she watched her friend collapse, electricity crackling around her as Mercury knelt at her side. Turning back to the gray wolf-like youma she was fighting with Mars, she quickly jumped out of the way as an energy attack flew at her. Risking another glance toward Jupiter she saw Mercury picking the hurt senshi up while talking to Pluto, the crackling electricity gone. "No, you're hurt. I can carry her." Sailor Moon heard Jupiter tell the Time Senshi . Feeling a bit better that Jupiter was being taken care of, Sailor Moon turned back to see Mars land a punch on the youma's chest before leaping away. "Moon Tiara Action!" she shouted in mid-stride as she made her way over to Mars, throwing her tiara at the creature. "C'Mon Mars, lets's whup some butt." she yelled to the girl next to her.

"Right." Sailor Mars shot Moon a 100-watt smile and held her hand out to the blond.

Taking Mars' hand, Sailor Moon nodded before taking off, completely in sync with the Fire Senshi as they ran toward the youma. Leaping into the air they landed a two-boot kick, as one, to its chest, knocking it backward.

"Moon Twilight Flash!"

"Fire Soul Bird!"

Sailor Moon and Mars shouted together, the power of the Moon rushing down from it's invisible place in the sky, filling Sailor Moon and then rushing at the youma while Mars pressed the tips of her fingers together and pointed at the youma. Flames leapt up from her fingers, traveled down her arms and encompassed her body, her eyes turning black with purple flames dancing inside as a stream of fire shot from Mars' chest. The fire formed a large fiery phoenix flying straight for the youma as the youma was hit by Moon's attack, becoming paralyzed as it was filled with the moon's positive energy. Opening it's mouth the phoenix engulfed it's target just after it became paralyzed, flame broiling it until there was nothing left but a pile of charred ashes.


Uranus growled when the brown bear-like youma's energy ball hit Neptune's back, her love screaming in agony as she fell to the ground. Yelling, Uranus ran at the youma, landing a kick to it's upper chest before landing on the ground in front of it in a fighting stance. Backing up, the youma moved away from the confrontation before throwing an energy ball at Neptune instead of the Senshi waiting to fight. Eyes flashing red, Uranus dove toward her lover, landing on top of her and rolling her away just before the attack hit. Turning from Neptune back to the youma Uranus launched herself at the creature. Teeth gritted, she clawed at the creature through her gloves, growling as her hand went for her saber. A feral howl escaped her lips and sounded over the battlefield, hardly noticed by the angered senshi as she hacked away at the thing that had hurt her love.

Minutes passed and still the youma was still writhing, in distinguishable underneath the mass of blood and shredded flesh. The blade itself would not kill the creature but Uranus kept at it. "'Ruka-san!" she heard her princess calling to her but could not stop.

"Ruka-san, please end this." Moon asked her, surprising the angry senshi that she was standing next to. Looking down at the quivering mass of flesh Moon turned her head back to Uranus. "End it Uranus."

"SCACE SWORD BLASTER!" Sailor Uranus bellowed as she thrust the saber forward, the blade glowing a white hot light and shooting an energy beam into the youma before the blade slid home, the light encompassing the hilt and her hand before dying away. Life was gone from the creature and blood seeped onto the ground.

Walking quietly to Neptune's side, Uranus fell to her knee's cuddling her love's head in her hands.


Mamoru led the group around another bend and out of the woods, across a field and onto the back patio of a huge mansion. Taking a key from his pocket, Mamoru unlocked the back door and ushered everyone inside. The room they entered in to was a kitchen, all white gleaming marble and stainless steel. A huge stove, three-basin sink, a middle island counter top with a rack overhead; pans, pots and cooking utensils hanging there, waiting to be used. Gorgeous cabinets of cherry-wood were placed on the walls around the room.

Ikuko's eyes widened in sheer amazement at the gorgeous kitchen and started to bounce on her heels in excitement. She could barely hold her elation in as Mamoru led them out of the kitchen, through a pantry-room filled with more cherry-wood cabinets and out into a gorgeous dining room. Ikuko gasped in excitement, her smile getting even bigger; the table was big enough to hold all of them, including all of the senshi, and still have extra room. It was a gleaming glass table-top above a shiny white marble sculpture of three dolphins. The chairs were shiny dark cherry-wood with lush blue velvet seats and a gorgeous chandelier hung over head, crystal droplets hanging down below the brilliant light, casting prisms of color on the white walls. The carpet under foot was thick and the color of bright blue water. An ornate cherry-wood dish cabinet with glass doors stood to one side, expensive china dishes and crystal goblets filling it.

"In here," Mamoru finally spoke, opening a sliding set of double doors and leading them into the next room, "is the entertainment, or living room." He told them. Kenji nearly falling over from just the sight of it. A fifty-six inch plasma screen television hung on one wall, an entertainment stand next to it housing a DVD/VCR combo, Stereo with turn-table, X-Box 360, Play Station 3, Nintendo Wii, N 64, Game Cube, Super Nintendo plus shelves upon shelves of movies, games and music. There were at least two couches and a love seat plus about a dozen bean-bag chairs and end tables were scattered throughout the room in strategic places. The entertainment room was amazing, as any one could tell by looking at it, or by looking at Shingo's dazed expression, wide eyes and tears of joy streaking down his cheeks.

"This room is amazing Mamoru-san." Marie said lightly. "Isn't it Ikuko-chan?" she asked, nudging the woman next to her.

"Oh it truly is, just look at Kenji-chan and Shingo-chan, they're nearly salivating over it." She giggled

"I'm glad they like it, but the praise she go to Usako and Rei-chan, they put it all together." Mamoru to the two senshi mothers.

"I'm not surprised. Result of the 'shopping expedition' last night, correct? My Rei-chan and the Moon Princess turned out to be good little thieves." Grandpa Hino chuckled.

Mamoru chucked at the proud expression of Grandpa Hino's face. "Okay," he addressed the group. "There are seven bedroom-suites, each with an adjoining bathroom. They're on the second-floor. The attic is a library and the basement is an activity room. It has an in-ground pool, air hockey, arcade games, pinball and pool table."

Shingo's mouth fell open. "Are you serious?"

"Yes, I know we'll be a bit cramped for space but it'll have to do. Through this door," Mamoru gestured to another door in the room. "Is the main lobby for the house and where you'll find the stairs leading up to the second floor. All the boxes are also in there."

"Boxes?" Kenji asked, puzzled.

"Usako and Rei-chan got stuff for everyone when they were 'shopping', separated it for each of us and put in all in boxes with our names on them." He answered Kenji with a smile before continuing. "We'll be doubling up in each suite because there's so many of us. I figured Shingo would be with you two," he gestured to Ikuko and Kenji, "since you'll both be in one bed and there's two beds in each suite."

"That's fine." Ikuko answered.

"And Ami and I can double." Marie said lightly.

"That's three we have so far, since Usako and I - ." Mamoru got out before an instantly red-faced Kenji interrupted with a roar.

"NO YOU DON'T. I can only handle so much and I will not tolerate you and my little girl doubling up."

"With all do respect Kenji-san, We're a couple and – " Mamoru tried to reason but was cut off again.

"Shut it. You be may be a couple and you may be a Prince but I'm her father and I won't have it!"

"Okay, I'll room with one of the other sen-" Mamoru gave in but was cut off, again.

"No you won't. You're a grown man and will not be doubling with any of these young girls during this crisis. I put my foot down here. I won't have you staying with them. You can room with Grandpa Hino-san and Rei-chan can room with one of the other senshi." Kenji said calmly but strongly.

"Okay, I'll do as you…ask. Just to keep the peace and Usako and Rei-chan can room with the two other senshi."

"That's better." Kenji grumbled as Mamoru led them into the lobby to get their boxed and head upstairs


"Crescent Beam!" Venus screamed, shooting an orange beam of energy toward the green lizard-like youma her and Saturn were fighting. "I stunned it, Saturn hit it with you Silence Glaive."

Jumping toward the youma Saturn swung her glaive, slashing across the creature's arm and chest before jumping back. "Silence Wall!" Saturn commanded as the youma threw an energy ball toward them. The command sent Saturn's power out through her Glaive and formed a purple energy force-field around her and Venus.

"Good shot. Will my attacks go through this or will they re-bound on us?" Venus asked.

"Thanks. Yeah they'll go through if I want them to, what do you have in mind? I can't hold this up for much longer." Saturn told her blond friend as another energy attack flew at the force-field.

"My love-me chain can hold him from attacking, while I use a more powerful attack. If you attack with your glaive and I sent an attack it should weaken him, might even destroy it."

"What if I use one of my attacks at low power and send it through the chain? I can control it. And my attack on him already healed, he's almost immune to it. We need him hurt and it's hard if I can barely use my attacks and my glaive isn't working."

"You're right, it would take a lot of my power to destroy –" Venus was saying but was interrupted by a gun shot. Turning her head Venus saw the dreaded. A task force swarming the area with guns, like a wave of ants surrounding a piece of candy on the ground, they were everywhere. "We've got company." She told her friend before looking into her purple eyes. "Can you hold this shield up against the youma and the cops while I attack it?"

"I can but I'm running out of energy fast and you'll need my help to defeat it."

"If I draw in more power can you touch me and tap my energy to use? My attacks don't take much."

"You'd let me do that?" Saturn asked stunned, that was a huge show of trust. If she took too much Venus could die immediately and if she took too little it could overflow and knock her unconscious or kill her. Not to mention if she lost control of her own power and it touched Venus, even if just for a second, it would kill her too. With a nod from the blond, Saturn replied. "Yes. I can do it. Thank you for your trust in me, it means the world."


Bullets fly through the air as Agent Mascucci barks out an order. "Kill the creature. Don't kill the Senshi, I want them alive. If you have to, shoot them in the leg. One hit with a tranquilizer dart and they're down for the count. Let's go boys, move it!"

Mercury dodges a bullet and then a tranq. dart before crossing her arms in front of her. "Shabon Spray!" she called out her attack, fogging the area.

"Damn it. Don't lose the Senshi!" Mascucci yells.

"Defend yourselves but don't kill them!" Sailor Moon yelled out to the Senshi, much to the annoyance of Uranus, Jupiter and Mars.

Uranus dodges another two bullets then blocks a tranq. dart with her Space Sword, only to turn around to a cop in her face. "You've gotta be kidding me." She growled when the young man told her she under arrest. Her eyes following his hand as he went for the handcuffs and started telling her what she was being arrested for and her rights. "I don't think so," she told him, dropping to the ground and knocking him down with a spin kick. "Assault of an officer. That's another charge." She heard another male voice say behind her. Turning to see a rather large male with a badge pinned to his shirt that said 'Mascucci', he radiated don't-fuck-with-me pheromones and screamed 'Head Of Operation'.

"You can surrender and do this the easy way," he told her before palming his glock and taking up a fighting stance "or you can fight and we can do this the hard way, either was you're going down."

Cocking an eyebrow Uranus lunges toward him and with a push, knocks him off balance and launches herself higher into the air using his shoulders as leverage and vaults over his head landing ten feet away.

With a curse Muscucci gained his balance and turned toward Uranus stopping and pulling his tranq. gun as he sees an opportunity. Following the direction Mascucci's eyes went, Uranus' eyes go wide. "Sailor Moon!" she shouts as she watches the Moon Princess knocks one of the policemen down just as a stray energy ball from the youma battle hurtled past her, right where the man had been standing. But she called out too late, the dart from Mascucci's gun flew at Sailor Moon. Forced to turn away as another cop came at her, Uranus hoped the blond would be okay.

Sailor Mars ran and dove in front of Sailor Moon hoping she got there before the dart. "Mars!" Sailor Moon screamed as the dart hit Mars in the side and she fell to the ground unconscious. Sinking to the ground Sailor Moon cradled Mars' head in her lap.

"You Mine, Moon girl." Mascucci snarled, shooting another dart at the blond.

Raising her eyes to the cop, Sailor Moon sets Mars' head down and stands. "Moon Tiara Action!" She yelled, throwing her tiara straight for him, destroying the dart and continuing on toward him. A growl escapes her lips as she watches him leap out of the way at the last second. Catching her tiara she slips it back on and throws herself at him, knocking him to the ground. With a grunt she glares at him and throws a punch, hitting his cheek bone. Throwing punch after punch, Sailor Moon doesn't head the other senshi calling to her to stop. Mumbling to herself about the inconsiderate public blaming the senshi while they were actually protecting them, not stopping even after the sting of a bullet sliced into her shoulder. Screaming in more anger than pain, Sailor Moon uses the pain as fuel and continues to pummel Agent Mascucci.

"Get her off of him!" Mercury yells out as she dodges more darts.

"I'm okay. My strengths back, I've got her." Jupiter yells out to the senshi as they run around trying not to get hit with anything. Running to Sailor Moon, Juipter loops her arms under the girls arm pits, hoists her off the bloodied cop and drags her away.

"Let me go Jupiter. I'm fine, he hurt Mars because of me, he needs knocked around a bit more. Let me go…" She told the Thunder Senshi as she struggled to get free.

"You're not fine, you're shot and he's out cold." Jupiter replied, continuing away from the cop with Sailor Moon.

"I am so fine, you don't know what you're talking about. It's just a flesh wound. Mars is the one that needs help. Let me go, unconscious or not he needs more pummeling."

"Shabon Spray!" Mercury's voice rings out over the gun shot as the place is fogged again.

"Good idea Mercury," Jupiter told the blue haired girl as she stepped up next to her. "Here, take her, she's not herself right now. Don't let her go, I'll go get Mars." Jupiter told her as she handed the struggling Sailor Moon to Mercury and leapt away, back toward where they'd come from.


Without a second thought Venus caught hold of her connection to her planet, drawing more of it's power into her. With a tingling starting in her fingers and growing until her entire body tingled Venus took on a golden glow. Opening her eyes, the iris's shined golden.

Saturn lifted her free hand and touched Venus's arm, closing her eyes she felt the foreign energy seeping into her through their connection. Keeping tight reigns on the transfer of energy and her powers, Saturn let Venus' power fuel the barrier, the force-field now shiny with a layer of golden energy over the purple.

"Venus Love-Me Chain!" The Love Senshi bellowed out, a golden chain materializing in her hand and flying toward the youma, wrapping around it's body and holding it's arms still. Shocks of energy flowed gently through the chain and into the youma, causing it to growl. "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" Venus called, kissing her free hand, a golden heart forming and pulsing with energy before being tossed at the youma.

Yowling in pain, the youma struggled but only hurt itself more on the chain.

Concentrating hard, Sailor Saturn touched the blade of her glaive to the golden chain, the force-field moving forward with it but keeping them inside. "Death Reborn Revolution!" Saturn called upon her power, keeping her voice low so as not to alert the other senshi. Purple energy erupted from the glaive's blade and flew threw the golden chain, the colors mixing as it went before reaching the end and exploding around the youma like a bomb.


Jupiter, holding Mars, looked out around her. The senshi , using their attacks, had herded all of the cops into a medium circle around Agent Mascucci and were now surrounding them, all of their weapons already confiscated.

"Deep Submerge!" A weak but awake Sailor Neptune called out, sending her blue energy ball toward the huddled captives. Concentrating on her power, Neptune caused the energy ball create a large stream of ocean-water in it's wake as it flew in a circle around them faster and faster. The oceans depths thinning out, and swirling around them formed a large cyclinder around them, effectively holding them at bay. "The motion of the oceans waters should continue to swirl for some time, enough to get us home without being followed. When the power fades the waters will revert back to energy and return to the ocean."

An earsplitting blast sounded and the senshi looked toward the youma fight to see a huge amount of smoke curling into the air, the green youma gone. The amazing part was seeing a great golden Sailor Venus, and a mixed purple and gold barrier around her and Saturn. Knowing that Venus couldn't have made that blast that left on one answer…Saturn. Understanding what she did put them all in shock as the ran over to their friends.


The smoke cleared some and Saturn's eyes met Venus's. An empty circle stood devoid of grass and youma. Dust and blackened ground the only indication that something had happened.

Looking out of the force-field to the shocked faces of the other senshi Saturn slowly took her hand from Venus's arm, the golden layer over the purple barrier disappearing just as Venus stopped drawing energy into herself and let the excess power in her body go back out into the universe. Saturn dropped the protective wall just as the glow left Venus's body and they turned toward the other senshi, walking toward them and away from the smoky area.


The door to the mansion boomed as the Senshi burst into the lobby, everyone but Sailor Moon and the unconscious Mars, who was being carried by Jupiter, staring with wide eyes and jaws hanging open. Sailor Moon stood next to Venus, still fuming about the evil cops, as the houses inhabitants came down to join them and see what all the noise was about. Blood boiling, Moon started yelling the events of the battle at Mamoru who stood with the others trying to understand the ranting. A gasp from Shingo goes unheard due to the loud blond but the reason doesn't. A silver moon appears on Sailor Moon's forehead. The moon starts to glow and is soon emanating power, the power growing and growing, encompasses her and then with a flash fills the entire room and everyone collapses…

Authors Note: I'm sorry this is taking forever, but I hope anyone who read this chapter enjoyed it. We've been going through a lot of traumatic things lately. I'm working a full time job, dealing with health issues, moved from my apartment to my Dad's house with my boyfriend when our lease was up, then we all got kicked out of the house by the landlord so we had to move all of out stuff into storage and had no place to live. We were staying at a hotel, and I got married to my boyfriend during our stay at the hotel (try fitting 3 adults, 1 teenager and 1 kid in 1 hotel room that consisted of 1 single room with two twin beds plus having 2 cats, 2 dogs and 1 fish and not knowing what to do with them, asking friends to take them in while you found somewhere to live). Then after getting married I finally got a mortgage and bought a house. So we moved our pets and stuff into this new house and now we're here. (7-10-2008)
