Betrayal of the heart

Chapter thirty-seven: Haruka and Michiru join in the battle

Serenity was in her room, when Usagi called for her. She hurried down to the living room, and stopped short when she saw Michiru and Haruka.

"What are you doing here?" She asked. Even though it had been years for Usagi, it had only been a couple months for Serenity and she was still upset with the way the two of them had treated her mother in the past.

"Serenity" Usagi reprimanded. "Michiru and Haruka have come to join in the battle"

"Oh really?" Serenity said coolly. "Well, that's fine, but I will do things my way" Michiru sighed, knowing that the girl still hadn't forgiven them, and she realized that Serenity's trip to the past mus have been recent. She smiled lightly.

"These are for you and your friends" She said, handing a stack of tickets to Serenity. Serenity looked at them and realized that they were tickets to see the Three Lights in concert. She smiled slightly and accepted the tickets. Haruka explained that it was a joint concert between Michiru and the Three Lights.

Meanwhile, Galaxia blasted Iron Mouse.

"You understand what I'm after. Then you know that you only have a couple chances left." Galaxia warned. Iron Mouse nodded, holding a hand to her side.

Later Nezu was going around town wondering who had the star seed. Then she saw a poster of a famous conductor. Nezu thought that such an old man might have the star seed.

The three lights were in their dressing room wondering what kind of person Michiru was.

"I don't like the idea of a joint concert" Yaten said, crossing his arms.

"Don't worry about it. We should just do our performance for Her" He reminded Yaten. Yaten frowned. Seiya was wondering who the mysterious Michiru was.

The joint concert started and Michiru played the violin next to the Three Lights performance. Michiru could feel some sort of message in the performance of the Three Lights. Seiya felt some strong planetary power in Michiru. They both began to wonder who one the other really was. After the concert, Serenity went back stage to see Michiru and ran into Seiya.

"We gotta stop running in to each other" she said, blushing. "I was just on my way to visit Michiru" Seiya offered to accompany her. She accepted his arm and they went to Michiru's dressing room. Serenity knocked on it and Michiru opened it immediately.

"Hello Michiru-san" Seiya said, bowing. "I am a fan of yours" Michiru laughed a musical laugh.

"I wouldn't have thought classical music would be your style" She said. She noticed the way Serenity was holding onto Seiya's arm and smiled slightly. "I wonder who you really are..." She trailed off.

"You were really good Michiru" Serenity admitted. Michiru smiled.

"Thank you Serenity" She said. After Serenity and Seiya left, but as they were walking up the stairs, Serenity lost her footing and fell backward. Seiya made to grab her arm, but was too late. She tumbled down the stairs and crashed into another man and both of them fell down the stairs. Seiya hurried down the stairs, and extended a hand to Serenity. She took it. Seiya helped the other man, who was a famous conductor, Garayan.

"When I heard your music today, I could feel your message" Garayan told Seiya. "Whoever the message is for, I hope they get it" Than Garayan left. Serenity felt odd and decided to follow the conductor.

When Garayan got outside, Nezu was waiting for him. When she was going to introduce herself, she couldn't find any more of her name cards. So she just turned herself into Iron Mouse and fired her fireballs at Garayan. Then Garayan's star seed popped out of his head.

Serenity saw what was happening, and she immediately transformed into Eternal Silver Moon.

Iron Mouse thought that she finally had the star seed, but eventually Garayan's star seed turned black. Then Eternal Silver Moon arrived on the scene.

Sailor Iron Mouse left, leaving Silver Moon to deal with Sailor Conductor. The monster kept attacking Silver Moon, and she couldn't get a clear shot and got cornered by the monster. The sticks that Sailor Conductor threw trapped Silver Moon against a wall. But then there was the sound of finger snapping, and the Sailor Star Lights appeared.

Sailor Star Fighter used her Star Serious Laser attack.

Sailor Star Healer and Sailor Star Maker helped Sailor Moon.

Then Sailor Moon used her healing attack to turn the monster back into Mr. Garayan.

As the Star Lights were going to leave, Sailor Moon tried to stop them.

"Wait, let me thank you today. You'll fight with us from now on won't you?" she pleaded.

"We seem to have common enemies" Sailor Star Maker said, shrugging.

"If you don't slow us down, it's ok" Star Healer said. Star Fighter smiled and went to shake Serenity's hand. But then the world shaking attack came at them.

"Get lost, I won't miss you on purpose the next time" Sailor Uranus said coldly. Silver Moon was livid.

"what are you doing?" She hissed.

"They are invaders who came from outside the solar system. We can't trust them" Neptune said. Eternal Silver Moon frowned. The Star Lights made to leave.

"Stop!" Silver Moon commanded. Something in her voice made them stop. She folded her arms across her chest.

"I guess you didn't get the memo" She snapped to Uranus and Neptune. "I recall telling you earlier this morning that if you joined the fight, I was still going to do things my way. Mother won't appreciate this anymore than I do. She wants the starlights to work with us. You may think your protecting us, but did you ever stop to think that maybe the starlights came here because their home world was destroyed by the enemy?" The Star Lights looked at each other in surprise. How did she know that? Silver Moon smiled grimly.

"You are dismissed" She said. Uranus and Neptune tried to protest, but Silver Moon put up a barrier. The two outer senshi left and the barrier dropped.

"I don't understand" Star Fighter said, leaning against the wall. "Are you the leader of this band of scouts?"

"Not exactly" Silver Moon said. "My mother's friend Venus is the leader, and her daughter Celestial Venus is taking over as leader"

"Then what was that all about?" Star Maker asked. Silver Moon sighed.

"Ok, Me and my friends are earthlings, but our parents and Sailor Saturn are not, not really anyway. A very long time ago, My mother was Princess of the Moon Kingdom" Star Fighter blinked.

"Eternal Cosmos is Princess Serenity?" She asked. "She has the silver crystal?"

"Yes, and so do I" Silver Moon replied. "Please continue to fight with us. I know why you are here" before they could reply, Silver Moon took off and disappeared.
