After last night's confrontation with the monster Unaginzo, and the declaration of war from a new enemy, the Senshi try to go on with their normal days, hoping to find a way to defeat this enemy squadron before the universe falls into despair. After another day at school, the Senshi and Tuxedo Mask met at the Hikawa Shrine to discuss who the Zodiac Belt and Queen Ophelia are before they strike again.
"So, what's going on, Luna?" Usagi asked.
"I think we're dealing with an ancient enemy," Luna responded, "but this enemy isn't from the Dark Kingdom."
"Once Ami has her computer set up," Artemis added, "we'll be ready to begin."
Ami was given a special program by Luna to use on her computer. It details the likenesses of the Zodiac Belt.
"I've got the Zodiac Belt files uploaded," Ami said, "but unfortunately there is no data to the identity of Queen Ophelia."
"Well, anything's worth a start," Rei sighed. "At least we'll know who we're up against."
Ami turned on her laptop and ran the program to work with a connecting television set. Soon the Senshi seen all the members of the Zodiac Belt come to life.
"Somehow I seem to know them," Luna thought. "I just can't seem to remember…"
The first girl of the Zodiac Belt had black hair in a princess cut to her neck and hazel eyes. Her special attacks including shooting waves of darkness accompied by white comets as well as imprisoning her enemies in gold cages and setting them ablaze.
The second girl of the Zodiac Belt is as tall as Uranus and just as strong! Her black hair is in a buzzcut, has brown eyes and her skin is dark. She has an intricate tattoo on her left arm. She can stomp the ground to release lightning from the ground. Her favorite attack is using energy in the form of a bull. This attack can be used as a long range attack or she can use it physically on herself and slam into her enemies with brute force.
The third and fourth girls are fraternal twins. Both have pink hair to their necks and green eyes. Both sport tattoos of yin-yang symbols on their shoulders, one on the right and the other on the left. Both share a laser attack that can reflect and redirect from anywhere, and both share a special power.
The fifth girl is similar to Chibi-Usa but all similarities end there. She's as spoiled rotten as Chibi-Usa once was but worse. She has small red twintails and blue eyes. She carries a giant crab-shaped shield for defense and a giant claw for offense.
The sixth girl is as well-built as Jupiter and is also as physical like the second Zodiac Belt member. Her body is tanned with white barbs tattooed all over her body. Her red hair is done up in a ponytail, but when she goes into action, it comes undone. Her yellow eyes are almost like a wildcat's. When she attacks, her hand can unleash energy blades from long range, or at close range like a beast. She also can roar like a lion causing unstable sonic vibrations everywhere.
The seventh girl resembles Ami slightly, although her hairstyle is different and it's cyan not blue. Her blue eyes match those of Ami's. She wears a strange device on her left ear that has a blue lens over her left eye. She possesses similar traits to Sailor Moon by showering her enemies with white light and healing her allies the same way.
The eighth girl has brown hair to her neck and green eyes. She carries a golden scale into battle. When one scale is tipped, gravity goes haywire. When the other side of the scale is tipped, gravity intensifies.
The ninth girl is vicious and uncaring, and just as arrogant as Esmaraude was and Chibi-Usa when she was Black Lady. She has blond hair, hazel eyes and a mean streak that won't go away. She loves using her whip to attack her opponent, especially when the end of the whip is poisoned. Her whip can also summon acid rain.
The tenth girl usually hides her purple eyes under sunglasses. Her shoulder-length black hair is usually under a hat, as she loves to stay secretive. She's a dead shot with a crossbow or with any firearm. Her attacks are melee-based, but equally deadly. She can fire a deadly bolt of explosive power, or launch multiple arrows everywhere.
The eleventh girl is similar to Saturn but with her hair and eyes gray. She acts more mature for a girl her age, but is still nevertheless a threat. She carries a kemari ball that hides primal elemental forces, plus she also wears an odd helmet.
The twelfth girl is a bit of a recloose as she's as erratic as her attacks. Her blue hair goes down to her back and her green eyes are as vacant as Usagi's. Her water-based attacks are no joke however as she uses a gourd to blast water out directly toward her enemies, or multiple streams from anywhere.
The thirteenth and final girl looks as shy in glasses, but something inside her might say otherwise. Her purple hair is in small braids and her blue eyes are almost quiet. Her attacks are anything but shy, as her ability to bounce certain attacks away. Her other ability is to use water to trap her enemies.
"I guess that's all there is," Ami said, shutting down her computer. "All we know is their faces, but not their names."
"So what do we do, put wanted posters all over town?" remarked Venus.
"I doubt that would be necessary," Luna said. "However, we must remain alert lest those invaders choose to attack at a moment's notice!"
"From what we saw, they almost have the same powers as we do," Usagi stated. "Why are these people after us?"
"For now, we can assume it would seem this Ophelia has a grudge against us," Rei addressed. "She believes that she is the true ruler of the universe, and the only way to obtain power is to eliminate who she sees as a threat, namely Neo Queen Serenity."
"That's unforgivable!" Usagi cried out. "I am marked for death because of someone's grand delusion of believing she can rule the universe?!"
"That's the gist of it," Makoto responded. "These people are really sick bastards, sinking so low so this Ophelia can be top dog."
"I have forgiven most of my enemies, but this I cannot forgive!" Usagi cried out in anger. "Ophelia has made a terrible mistake challenging me as Queen of the Universe!"
The Senshi seem to feel Usagi's sudden mood change as she feels rage from Ophelia's blatant disrespectful remarks.
"Never have I seen you this worked up, Usagi!" Luna gasped.
"I'm sorry, Luna," Usagi calmly said, apologizing to everyone. "Never have I met someone willing to kill me so that she can claim to be queen!"
"Don't worry, Mom," Chibi-Usa said, "we're here to protect you!"
"You can count on us to back you up!" Jupiter proclaimed.
"We'll take anything Ophelia and the Zodiac Belt can throw at us!" Venus added.
"We'll all be safe, Usako," Mamoru said, rubbing Usagi's shoulder. "We'll beat Ophelia and the Zodiac Belt together."
"Thank you, everyone!" Usagi smiled with tears in her eyes, as the Senshi relax for a while as they prepare for what may be their biggest war ever.
Elsewhere during the night, the Zodiac Belt soon take over a building under construction and turn it into a fully-functional corporate headquarters. Each of the hooded girls strip off their cloaks to reveal their human forms. Each of the girls dress differently based on each personality. Taking the lead is the girl with the princess haircut dressed in a red business dress with a brown blazer jacket and red heeled shoes. Behind her is Queen Ophelia as she saunters behind her. One by one, the rest of the Zodiac Belt follow Ophelia to the top of the building. Once at the top, the Zodiac Belt stood at attention as Ophelia and the girl in red make their way towards a large desk.
"Akeboshi, status report," Ophelia ordered.
"We are planning our invasion soon, my queen," the girl now known as Ichigo Akeboshi replied. "In order to create a powerful force to destroy the false queen, we need energy."
"Even with enough energy, those wretched Sailor Senshi will get in the way," Ophelia pointed out. "We need to find a way to deal with these meddlesome peasants!"
"Leave that to us!" the twin girls spoke dressed in white lab coats.
Ophelia acknowledged the twins' presence. "Momoko and Anzu Ryuzaki, you have the floor," she said.
"We've performed research on the armies that came before us…" Momoko said.
"…like the Dark Kingdom, the aliens of Makaiju, the Black Moon Clan, the Death Busters, the Dead Moon Circus, the Animates and Shadow Galactica…" Anzu added.
"…and concluded that one monster at a time isn't enough to suppress the Sailor Senshi," Momoko responded.
"So any of the Zodiac Belt can use any monsters at any time," Anzu replied, as she and her sister Momoko hold out black CDs for all the Zodiac Belt to see.
"Everything is at your complete disposal!" the twins nodded as they kneeled down to Ophelia.
"Excellent work," Ophelia smiled. "Perhaps we shall succeed where others have failed!"
"Allow me into the battlefield first, my queen!" the large dark-skinned girl requested.
"Very well," Ophelia agreed. "Yamato Ushiyama, assemble your forces wisely!"
"Oh, I definitely will!" Ushiyama responded with an evil grin, and picks out two black CDs. "I think I've assembled my tag team stable!"
Ushiyama throws the black CDs into the air. The CDs spill black fluid to materialize into the droid known as Dumble and the phage known as Sailor Guts. Ushiyama stands strong with the reformed Dumble and Sailor Guts ready to head out into the world.
"The Sailor Senshi are going down in flames," Ushiyama echoed, "and that's the bottom line!"
"Let's hope for your sake you don't botch this mission," Ophelia warned Ushiyama. "It would not be best for business."
