Hey, guy. Heheh...so, remember when I said I'd update soon? ...I lied... Sorry about that. I can't even blame writer's block this time... Truth is, I refused to use the internet till I got Norton back on my laptop. Better safe than sorry, right? Anyways, I'd bore you with more backstories but I've kept you away from this chapter long enough. I hope you all like it!

RRTAB: Read, Review, and Tell A Buddy!

Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own Sailor Moon yet!

"Sailor Oblivion?" Sailor Moon asked again with confusion in her voice.

Before any of the other senshi could respond, the ground started to shake. "E-earthquake?" Mars yelled over the noise of people's screams.

Mercury typed on her computer. "No! This is something different!"

"Well, what is it?" Jupiter demanded.

Before Mercury could answer, a giant dog with engine red eyes jumped out of the ground. It let out a howl and it zeroed in on Sailor Moon. Its eyes narrowed and it growled. A fraction of a second later, it jumped towards the her.

Realizing there was no chance of jumping out of its path, the sailor-clad senshi reached for her tiara. "Moon Tiara—."

"No time!" A deep voice yelled as familiar hands wrapped around her waist and pulled to safety.

"T-Tuxedo Kamen," she breathed his name as she gripped her shirt tightly. "Thank you."

The masked hero gave a small smile in response. Once they were out of harm's way, she was placed softly onto her feet. Sailor Moon's eye lingered on his a few seconds more before turning back to the problem at hand. "Mercury, the weakness?"

The blunette, with her goggles covering her eyes, looked at the youma before answering. "I need a few more seconds."

The youma growled and towards Sailor Mercury. Sailor Mars quickly jumped into action. "Youma Taisan!" The fire landed on the giant dog's nose and he immediately tried to brush the embers off. The miko looked to Mercury. "You have five."

"I only need four," she replied. She typed a few more times on her computer. "It's in his—."

A bright light interrupted her sentence. "That's enough for today," Sailor Oblivion's voice sang. "Time to come home, my pet!" The light turned into blackness and the youma was captured inside. The darkness and the youma disappeared.

Mercury closed her computer. The data that was collected on the youma was gone with it.

"I guess we're done here," Sailor Moon sighed. She turned to Tuxedo Kamen, "Thanks again, Tuxedo Kamen. For saving me, I mean. I would have been dog food without you."

He gave a smile and a nod. Within five seconds, Tuxedo Kamen was out of sight.

"We'd better get back, too," Jupiter said. "Before everyone starts to come back outside."

Mars nodded her agreement. "Let's go back to Crown. We have plenty to talk about."

"How was your encounter with the Sailor Senshi?" Queen Beryl asked when she and Yuri were at the large dinner table.

"They aren't as tough as the Shittenou said," the new senshi of darkness replied. She let out a small chuckle. "You should have seen their faces when I told them that I was a senshi."

"And your pet?"

"He got into some trouble towards the end," Yuri sighed. "The brainy girl almost figured out his weakness. We have to fix that."

The evil queen nodded. "Call him here."

Yuri stood and looked towards the exit. "Kora-Kora!" she called. "Come here!"

A small puppy that seemed to be Shih Tzu in breed ran into the room. Beryl's eyes widened in horror. "What did you do to this youma?"

"Gave him a civilian form," Yuri shrugged as she picked the puppy up. "I have to still go to school. I want to be able to take Kori-pi with me."

The redhead rubbed her temple, which conveniently began to ache. "You gave him a nickname as well?"

Yuri nodded. "It doesn't matter what his name is, right? We'll still get the job done."

"Whatever. Think fast." The queen tossed her new senshi a small device.

The girl caught the device and frowned. "What's this?"

"The device Zoicite created before his little…accident. I hope you put it to greater use than him."

"What does it do?"

"It helps you track the princess, of course! Whenever this device beeps, kill the person that triggered it."

Yuri grinned. "Easy as pie."

Later that night, there was a knock at Makoto's door. "I'm coming!" Makoto called to the unexpected visitor, subconsciously wondering who it could be. She opened the door.

"Hey, Mako-chan," Rei sang as she walked inside the apartment. She threw her purse onto the counter and walked to the living room.

"Yes," Makoto said sarcastically. "Come on in. I totally invited you."

Rei chuckled. "You're funny. What are you cooking?"

"Whatever it is, there's only enough for one."

The miko feigned shock. "You'd give your dinner for me? Mako, I'm touched.

Makoto rolled her eyes. "You wish. What are you doing here? I thought you told your grandpa that you had a date."

"I do," Rei replied. She plopped onto the couch. "I have a date with your sofa and I'm cheating on your sofa with your television." To emphasize her point, she grabbed the remote and turned the T.V. on.

"Why didn't you just tell your grandfather that you were coming here?"

"Then the perverted old coot would have tried to come along. Trust me, it's safer this way."

Makoto laughed. "I guess so."

"I've been wanting to talk to you anyway."

"About?"

"Sailor Oblivion."

"What about her? She's no different than any other person from Dark Kingdom. We'll kick her butt just like we did with Kunzite, Jedite, Zoicite, and Nephrite."

"Well, it's just that she seems different. None of the general before her claimed to be a senshi."

"I think you're getting too worried over this. Sailor Oblivion is just another enemy. We'll win just like we always do."

Rei sighed. "I hope you're right, Mako-chan." She looked out the nearby window. "But something tells me that black clouds are in the near future."

Usagi was walking by from Crown Arcade where an impromptu senshi meeting had just taken place. The girls and all the other Crown patrons were gone almost thirty minutes before her but she demanded another milkshake before leaving.

She was almost through the park where the senshi met Sailor Oblivion when raindrops began to fall. "Rain?" she wailed to the sky. "Really?" She didn't have an umbrella and she was at least ten more minutes away from home.

She sighed as the sprinkle turned into a downpour. "Worst…day…ever."

"Usagi?" She heard a familiar voice behind her.

She turned around with a smile. Of course he'd be there in her time of need! "Tuxe—Mamoru. What are you doing here?"

"I was going for a walk," Mamoru lied. The faint feeling of Sailor Moon being in trouble what his real reason for being in the storm. "Usagi-chan, you're soaked."

Usagi laughed drily. "Yeah."

"Come on," the college man pulled the blonde under the umbrella with him. "I'll take you home, okay?"

"It's raining," a blonde announced as she entered her room. "It's too gloomy to cook. Want to order some pizza instead?"

"Sure," her companion replied. "Let's add sardines and anchovies, okay?"

The girl chuckled. "No. That will be one extremely smelly pizza. Some cheese and pepperoni is all a good pizza needs."

There was a sigh. "Fine. You're the one with a big day tomorrow. Are you nervous?"

"I think apprehensive is the right word, Arte-kun," she sighed. She sat beside the window. "It's been too long."

Artemis nodded in response. "You're right, Minako-chan."

And that's the chapter. A little cute moment with Usa and Mamo-chan and Minako get introduced in the next chapter! Exciting, right? Yay! Don't forget to review!

Surprise report: Although, I;ve been working on this for a while, I have little to show for it. I'll just keeping pushing through!
