Sorry for the delay in this chapter! I was going to finish it Thursday when I was off work but then I had to baby-sit my nephew so I didn't get to. Then Friday was just a crazy day so here you go…

Chapter 4 - Poor Luna
Usagi sipped her coffee as her and Luna walked to the park to sit by the lake.
"So how did the talk with your past self go?" Usagi questioned as Luna looked to the ground dejectedly.
"Not as good as I thought it would, she thinks we are from the Negaverse," she grumbled as Usagi started laughing hysterically, "Usa this is not funny!"
"Oh course not Luna. It's priceless! I mean, you use to think everyone was from the Negaverse. Motoki, Mamoru, Ami, Naru, ChibiUsa…"
"Alright, alright, I get it," Luna said clearly aggravated that Usagi was laughing at her.
"So, the only person who believes us is Motoki, he is letting us stay at the apartment at the arcade until we can figure everything out. If we could get Ami-chan alone she might believe us if she scanned me with her computer. I know Mamoru would believe us but Setsuna would have my ass if I screwed up the timeline," Usagi mused aloud.
"Well, right now I would go for anyone that will actually try to help us, I'm sure my past self has already warned the scouts about this and they will do anything to try to get rid of us," Luna stated with a sigh.
"Fantastic, so Mamoruu it is. Although I don't know how well he is going to process all of this," Usagi mumbled as her communicator beeped. She listened in on the conversation the scouts were having. Apparently their was an attack at the junkyard near by and once the conversation ended Usagi transformed and was on her way.
(((((((Present Time))))))
"Ami- chan, what are you doing?" Makoto questioned watching her friend take apart her Ipad, " I'm just experimenting with the wiring. Maybe I'll be able to pick up a frequency that Usagi has used recently and I can hack it."
"You can do that even when she is in another time?" Rei questioned as Ami shrugged.
"I'm going to at least try to do something to get in contact with her, I mean, she has absolutely no idea what is going on," Ami explained returning to her work.
((((((Crystal Tokyo))))))
Pluto and Mamoru landed right outside of the castle gates and Neo Queen Serenity ran up to them. She ushered them into the castle and into the control room.
"Endy has been watching the timeline to see how much has changed. Luna's past self did not believe a word she said stating that they were from the Negaverse. Usagi plans to confront Mamoru's past self for help since she doesn't have anyone else to turn to," Serenity looked to Pluto who already had her hands to her head trying to sooth the headache that was coming on.
"I'm sure things won't go horribly wrong," Mamoru tried to comfort the time keeper who was wondering how everything got so messed up, " Serenity, we need to barrow Chibiusa, we think she is the only one who can take us to where Usagi is."
Serenity bowed to her guests before leaving the room to go find her daughter. Pluto turned to the king and started talking in hushed tones as Mamoru walked around the room waiting for the Queen to reemerge.
Not two minutes later Chibiusa came running in and into Mamoru's waiting arms. He couldn't help but laugh as he leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead.
She smiled back up at him as he pushed her back so he could look her over.
"You've gotten taller since the last time I saw you," he stated.
"Well, it has been over a year you know," she stated, "I heard about what has happened with Usagi. When do we leave?"
((((((Past))))))
Usagi was hiding behind some power equipment as she watched the scouts confront Malachite. She went to go help when she heard a laugh coming from behind her. Turning she saw Zoisite and Tuxedo Kamen locked in a battle. Remembering that Sailor Venus makes her grand entrance during this battle Usagi went to help Tuxedo Kamen.
He was clutching his left shoulder while swinging his cane with his right arm trying to injury the annoying general that would not stay still. Tuxedo Kamen got knocked to the ground when Zoisite kicked his legs out from under him, Usagi made her move. Jumping into the air she extended her right foot and set it not so nicely on the unexpecting Generals face. He turned and spat out some blood before scowling at the new addition to the battle.
"Are who do you think you are that you can interfere in our business girl," he growled as Usagi laughed a little.
"I figured I would even the odds since you don't fight fair," she stated taking a step forward as Tuxedo Kamen stood up to see the two circling each other. Usagi charged at Zosite and while the General was too focused on the girl in front of him Tuxedo Kamen threw a rose that hit Zosite right in the chest. Staggering backwards Zosite looked down at the offending rose protruding into his chest before looking up to give a shocked looked to Tuxedo Kamen. While the General was distracted Usagi quickly approached the fallen man and summoned the rainbow crystals to her hand.
"I'll be taking these, thank you," she stated right before pain enveloped her body. She held back the scream that was in her throat as she thought about why she would suddenly be in pain. Falling to her knees she saw Tuxedo Kamen start to approached her. She willed the rainbow crystals to vanish into her subspace pocket knowing that the crystals were the only things he was interested in, " you need to help the scouts."
" I will after you give me the crystals," he stated walking closer.
" If you don't go now they will die!" she tried to reason with him but he approached her still. She heard her past self screaming out in pain as she felt herself about to scream as well. She whimpered as she slowly stood to her feet and wobbled as bit as she tried to walked to where the scouts were being held as bait.
"Crescent beam!" a voice rang out in front of them and Usagi fell to her knees.
"Oh thank God," she bit out as she felt the pain vanish. She sat there for a moment longer gathering her strength before standing up to turn and face Tuxedo Kamen, "why don't we go somewhere and I'll fix up your shoulder for you."
"How do I know I can trust you?" he questioned taking out a Rose.
" I dare you to throw that at me," she taunted taking a step forward and he did just that. The rose went flying through the air aimed for her arm. Raising her right hand she summoned some of her crystals power into her hand as she caught it without hesitation.
"How did you…"
"Let's go get that arm looked at and I'll explain everything."
(((((((((()))))))))
A Queen dressed in gold sat upon her Throne and watched as events unfolded around her. She growled out in anger to learn that the Moon brat had followed her to this time. She had planned it out so perfectly that she thought she had vanished without being detected.
"Galaxia-sama, please allow me to go dispose of her for you. I have learned that she is linked to her past self and if we dispose of her Eternal Sailor Moon will vanish and everything will go according to plan after that," Sailor Iron Mouse stated and the Queen nodded in approval before the scout vanished.
"You know her plan isn't going to work right? Now that Eternal Sailor Moon knows she is linked with her past self she will make sure nothing happens to her," a voice next to her stated.
"I am well aware of this Beryl but that is why you will step in once she fails."
