A/N: I know I promised to post up 5 chapters but I am having trouble writing chapter 11, so, I decided to post up the four I already had done and stop keeping you all waiting. Again, I am really sorry about the really late updates so far. I hope I am forgiven for my lateness and maybe a bit laziness (I have to admit it). I hope that you guys like this one, which happens to be a Part 1 of a Whole idea XD Anyway, please enjoy and forgive me.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon but I do own pretty much everything in this story XD ENJOY!

Cassie sat on her bed while Heidi sat in a chair by Cassie's desk. Aries stood on the table in the middle of the room, glaring at them.

Cassie sighed, already knowing what was coming.

"You were on TV?" Aries stated.

Cassie nodded.

"Live?"

Cassie nodded again, feeling the anger in every word.

"All over Japan" Aries sighed, "As the Sailor Scouts?"

Cassie nodded, ready for the paining lecture that they were careless, almost got defeated by the Dark Moon as well almost revealing who they were.

"I don't have the energy for this" Aries sighed, "Whatever, you have to take responsibility for your actions. Continue fighting but try not to get cause transforming. Your secret identity is meant to be secret to protect yourself as well as those around you"

"So…you're not mad?" Heidi asked.

"I see no reason to be. I knew this would happen sooner or later. It's a good thing that you look nothing like your former selves as the scouts" Aries explained.

"Hey, I didn't want to be on TV" Cassie complained.

"Cassie!" shouted her little brother from outside the room. Heidi turned to Cassie while Aries jumped up onto the bed next to her. Cameron walked in, which seemed more like he ran in, "Look at the JV News" he snatched her remote from her table and turned her TV on, turning to the News Central Channel.

The girls looked to see a man with pale blonde hair holding some papers and gesturing to the video that was over his shoulder.

"Last night at the DM concert, two girls in what seemed to be a school uniform with mini-skirts and tiaras attacked the two lead singers, one who turned into a dark clothed man while the other disappeared completely. A search for the missing man is still in progress but with no luck. The one remaining man had seemed to conjure up three metal robots in the frame of female models, which had attacked the two girls. After some struggles, the female 'heroes' had aid from a masked man in a white tuxedo and the one who went by the title 'Sailor Moon' turned the metal models into glittery dust"

A scene appeared the TV with Sailor Moon while twirling her scepter, "Moon Cosmic Crash!" she shouted as white light had flashed.

Cassie flinched at see herself on screen while Aries sighed.

"The unknown 'Sailor' in blue seemed to be just as strong as this 'Sailor Moon' but unable to defeat the women with only her powers alone"

Sailor Mercury appeared on the screen, "Mercury Double Splash!" water shot from her gloved hands which struck two of the metal girls, releasing Sailor Moon from their holds, who had ran over to Mercury.

"Thanks, nice attack" Sailor Moon told Mercury.

Heidi hid her face with her hands.

"But that was not the end of the drama" The news anchor said, "The man in dark clothing attacked the masked man, taking him hostage. The girl, 'Sailor Moon' struck the man in dark clothes, causing him to run away. If you're watching this now, you probably thinking this is a hoax put on by the cast of the concert directors or us, the JV News. But there were witnesses everywhere in the concert seats, as well as those who were just passing by at the moment"

He had waved his hand as a new scene appeared on the screen, replacing him. "Do you think if was a show put on by the managers of the band or area?" said a voice that was not in the screen.

A woman with black hair with her friend who had pink hair looked into the camera. The one with black hair spoke first, "I'd say with was all real, I'm a cast director, so I look for talented actors, but what was shown on that stage was no act, those girls were the real deal" her friend stepped in.

"I work on making everything look real in those fantasy movies and shows, those effects up there, those were not done with a computer. I have to agree with my friend here, everything that happened on that stage, well, it may be hard to believe but I saw it, those girls, well, I guess what I'm implying is that there is some kind of evil out there and those girls, those two teens, are there to protect us"

A man replaced the two girls in the screen, "I didn't really believe it myself but as I watched those girls fight, fight that man even with him taking a hostage, those girls fought him to the end. And I just said to myself, this is all true, those girls just saved our lives"

A different woman with two kids next to her replaced the man, "Well, to those who are watching this wouldn't believe it, but I was there, I saw with my own two eyes. I just have to say, well, it was real" The boy shouted, "I still can't believe it! I would totally want to meet those girls, they rock!" the mother giggled at her son. The girl joined in, "If I could, I would want to be with them, part of their gang, fighting the forces of evil!"

The news anchor appeared back on the screen, "To view more interviews with the witnesses, please visit our site. But as we asked those people what they had saw, we all had one real question everyone is asking" a picture of Sailor Moon appeared over his shoulder, " 'Who is Sailor Moon?' "

Cassie's brother smiled up at her, "Isn't it cool, we have our own heroines!"

Cassie faked a smiled, "Really cool"

"I would love to meet them" he muttered, looking back at the TV.

Cassie blushed and took the remote, "Okay, Cammy, out of my room" Cassie pushed him out and closed the door. She turned off the TV and turned to Heidi, "This is worse than I expected"

"I'd have to agree with you, we better be more careful" Heidi said, sighing.

In a dark chamber, stood a throne shrouded in shadows with the only thing visible was white hair and red eyes, "Harasu!" called a voice from the throne that held much power in it.

Harasu appeared with a black of black fire. His raven black hair settled as the flames died. He looked up slightly at this prince with cool dark blue eyes, hiding his left eye with what little hair he had over his eyes. "You called, my Prince" he said with devotion.

"How much longer do you plan on taking to find the Silver Crystal?" the Prince asked from his shadows.

Harasu bowed his head, "I know I'm taking longer than it should but I think I'm close to a breakthrough"

"I hope you mean that you know who has it"

"Oh course!" Harasu said with anger in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you don't believe what this failure of a warrior is telling you, do you?" said a male voice from the shadows behind Harasu. Raion stepped from the shadows, smiling evilly at Harasu.

"Scum" Harasu muttered.

"Only to those I dislike" smiled Raion.

"Enough!" the Prince shouted.

The two warriors bowed.

"Raion, do know speak out of turn" the Prince told him, Raion nodded. "Harasu, my patience for you is growing thin, I'd be more careful for the next few days"

"I understand, my Prince" Harasu muttered, leaving in a burst of black flames.

"Raion, do not freight, your turn to power will soon arrive. I feel Harasu is running off his destiny soon" the Prince said with a smile in his voice.

Raion smiled, "Of course, my Prince. I shall await the arrival" he then disappeared in a spiral of white petals.

Cassie and Heidi talked about how they were going to take care of this TV business with Sailor Moon as well as how to fight evil when they would most likely get watched on TV again.

"We'll have to find more hiding places to transform" Heidi suggested.

"Yeah, with all this busine–" Cassie was cut off by someone bumping into her. She and the person fell, who must've been reading because a book fell on her head and bounced onto the ground. "Ow!" she complained.

The guy looked up, "You again?"

Heidi gasped as she crouched down next to Cassie.

Cassie looked up while rubbing her head, it was the same black haired guy she bumped into last time, "You?"

"Ah, so glad you can remember" he said sarcastically.

Cassie glared, putting her hand down to stand up but felt something that was the ground under her hand. She glanced over at it to see a hard cover book with a guy holding a Katana. She read the tile as she picked it up as well as standing up, "'The Art of Professional Swords Skills'?"

He glared at her and snatched the book from her, "It is a crime to read a book about swords?"

"No, it's just not that normal to see a guy reading it, although, I guess you count as not normal" she snapped.

He grunted and walked past her, shoving her out of the way.

She glared until she saw a wallet from the corner of her eyes where he had fell. She picked it up, "Hey! Wait!" she called.

But he didn't turn.

"Oh, this sucks, I don't even know his name" Cassie muttered.

"Shouldn't it say in there?" Heidi asked, pointing at the wallet.

Cassie sighed and opened the wallet, glancing at the name on the driver's license. 'Zander Kean' it said, "That's easier" she muttered. She turned to Heidi, "Be right back" she turned and ran after him.

"Alright, see you at the café" Heidi called. She sighed and started heading the way they were going.

"Hey! Dude!" Cassie called after him yet he still didn't turn, 'Fine!' she thought, "Zander, will you stop already!" she shouted.

He turned with a shocked look on his face, "How do you know my name?"

Cassie waved the wallet in his face, "You should take better care of your junk"

He glared and snatched for the wallet but Cassie pulled it from his reach, holding it behind her back. He glared down at her, "What do you want?"

"Oh, I don't know, a 'thank you' maybe?" she snapped.

Zander sighed, "Alright, thank you for returning my wallet"

Cassie smiled with victory, "That's better, you're welcome" she handed him his wallet, but when their hands brushed, they both felt a jolt just neither could understand of what or why, "Ah, anyway, I have to be going" she turned to leave.

"Sure, but since you know my name, I think an introduction is in order" he glowered.

Cassie smiled nervously, "Alright, so you're Zander, I'm Cassie" she looked behind her, "Now I really have to go" she turned and ran down the street.

He started after her then at his wallet, "Crazy kid" he muttered and headed home.

Harasu sat in his space, thinking of a new plan to get this new target's heart crystal without any disturbances from the Scouts.

Female laughter was heard echoing the small space.

His head shot up at the sound, glancing around as he floated.

"Look, sister, the little crow's all tired out from fighting with those little Sailor Scouts" one voice said with a slight deep voice of a female.

"I noticed, sister, beaten by the new-born light" said a voice a bit more high and gentle. She chuckled.

"New-born light just starting to play" the first giggled.

The two continued laughing at him from the shadows.

"Shut up!" Harasu shouted, "I need no mock from the Prince's two devil, nor do I need your help" he muttered, irritated as well as angry.

"Oh, don't worry, little crow, we're not here to help" the first said.

"We're here to merely give you a suggestion" convinced the second.

"I'm a Raven, you witches, and I'm not interested" he closed his eyes to think.

"Then only answer a question for me" the second spoke, "Is this 'Sailor Moon' weaker when the blue 'Sailor' in not around?"

Harasu's eyes shot open, "Yes"

"So wouldn't it be easier to separate the two and take her out?" asked the first.

He nodded, "I've proved it, it was always when they were together I failed"

"Except the first few times, when she was alone and brand-new" the first snickered.

Harasu glared into the shadows, "Go, you do not belong here" he growled.

The two laughed which faded until it was no longer there.

Harasu smirked as a plan began to form in his head.

Cassie rushed into her house, for it had started raining the minute she left the café. She closed the door and was soaking wet.

Her brother passed, "Eww, you smell like wet dog" he complained.

Cassie glared at him but rushed upstairs and into her room, going to take a shower.

When she stepped out of the bathroom, her hair was still wet but smelled like cherry blossoms and she was wrapped in a towel. She headed to her closet and pulled out some clothes, pulling them on.

"Cassie, thank god you're here" Aries explained from the bed.

Cassie glanced over at her as she pulled her top on, "What's up, Aries?"

Aries pointed to the cell phone which detected potential 'pure heart crystals', "We have trouble"

Cassie walked over and picked it up, opening it, "Doesn't seem to be detecting the silver crystal, so someone's being attacked?" she asked, looking at Aries.

Aries shook her head, "No…" she started, "Two people"

Cassie gasped.
