Author's Note

Sorry, It's been over 20 days since I updated I think. Work happened a lot and I've had writers block as well. Anyway, on to chapter 13. Enjoy.

Chapter 13: This time it's peronal

So Mamoru looked at Addison, "So let me get see if I got this straight. You're my brother?"

"I'm the reincarnation of your brother, Aeolian."

"You meet with Usako after Sterling found her and took care of her while in America."

"After you and the senshi tricked her into running away after some bad visions, and you had planned to have someone take care of her but your friend never found her."

"Yes, so something attack you in America and prompt you to come here?"

"It was a robot gorilla, yes."

"And while being here your trying to figure out what's going on, and while doing that you ran into Rei and the others."

"Yep, bad planning…"

"You decided to fight them and did you say you beat them?"

"Well, that was kinda clever planning but yes."

"And because you're still trying to figure out who sent the monster, your group is trying to be low key."

"Pretty much."

Mamoru took a long sip of his coffee before he looked at Addison, "Okay then. I think I need some headache pills. Then you and I will try to figure out what's going on and how to fix this…"

Addison nodded as Motoki came up and placed his milkshake in front of him, "Oh, Hey Anteros!"

Motoki looked at him confused, "Um, hey?"

…..

Rei sighed as she swept the steps angry. The meeting had really accomplished nothing but speculation and informing the outers of the knights.

She had said bye to the senshi about 15 minutes ago and was doing her chores now as she thought over the recent events. Really all she wanted to do was talk things over with Usagi to explain.

Suddenly Rei felt pain around her leg as she was dragged to the ground. She rolled over to see that her leg was wrapped up in chain, a chain that's looks rather familiar.

"Sterling!"

A chuckle caught Rei's attention, she looked to see Sterling in front of her sickle chain in her hands, "Familiar isn't it?"

Rei glared at her, "What?"

"You always provoked me when you were training with us on Eris," She explained as she yanked her chain back into her hands, "You're always pointing out how my sister was princess. How she was going to be queen. How my mother was always there for her. How she had a whole guard to protect her. How she was loved by everyone. How I was so unloved."

The senshi of flame looked at the knight in shock. She wouldn't do that would she? She tried to remember but couldn't remember it.

"Needless to say I didn't handle it well," Sterling smirked as she swirled the chain in her hand, "I beat you, at everything I could. Several times we got into fist fights. But it didn't seem to be enough."

Sterling and Rei glared at each other, "Sometimes I wish I would have killed you. Guess you should thank Aeolian for stopping me."

The senshi stood up as the knight summoned a dark portal and a two tailed cat monster walked out.

…..

Sterling Aydan huffed as she finished walking up the stairs.

"You that out of shape?" Kaiyo laughed as she stopped in front of the shrine.

"No," the knight of light commented, "I just hate stairs."

Sterling knew she should being doing other things right now, trailing the outers, checking on Usagi and the generals, making sure Addison had not been caught, but she couldn't. Not till she could figure out who Kaiyo was.

She felt a pull to her. It was a pull she felt whenever she meet someone from her past life as Tala. But this pull was stronger than any she felt before and she couldn't place her. She had place so many people since being in Tokyo, so why couldn't she place Kaiyo?

Pushing that aside in her mind, she walked over to Kaiyo and motioned to the shrine, "So, this is Hikawa Shrine?"

"Yep, I come to pray about once a week," Kaiyo explained as she grabbed Sterling's hand a led her closer.

Sterling studied the temple with a smile, "Wish I had a place like this to pray. It's beautiful and quiet. You can really feel the energy."

Kaiyo gave Sterling a look, "You don't have a church you go to?"

"Don't go to church actually. I'm pagan. So I worship Selene, Aphrodite, Apollo," The moon princess explained.

As they reached the front of the temple Kaiyo released Sterling's hand, "well, then that must suck."

"A little-"

Before Sterling could finished she felt something coming for her and pushed Kaiyo to the ground as a flame arrow flew over the heads.

Sterling jumped up and glared at her attacker.

Kaiyo looked over surprised, "Sailor Mars?"

"Shit, this is the shrine with Rei Hino isn't it?" The knight asked the civilian.

The younger woman nodded.

The Knight sighed and looked at Sailor Mars as her fire bow was trained on her, "Look, I get firing at me but let Kaiyo go."

"Wha-Wait, what's going on?" Kaiyo asked concerned.

"Please," Mars growled walking closer, "After you just attacked me with that demon you think I'll fall for that! She's probably another knight or something."

"What? I haven't done anything!" Sterling replied realizing something wasn't right she looked at Kaiyo, "Run. Run, Kaiyo. Forgot about this and me and run."

"What? No, why is Sailor Mars attacking you? I don't understand," The Japanese girl asked confused.

She had lived in Tokyo most of her life. She knew the senshi were good people. Sailor Venus had actually saved her life when she was in high school. So why was Mars attacking Sterling? Sterling had been nothing but wonderful to her all day and kind.

"I can't explain now run!" Sterling ordered again.

It was that moment that Mars released another arrow.

"Shit! Metal up!" Sterling screamed.

Kaiyo shut her eyes as a bright light engulfed Sterling, when she opened them again a gold and silver knight stood in front of her, "What?"

Sailor Mars glared at the knight as she launched another fire attack.

…..

Pryce arrived and gave Aeron a look, "You are dressed like Tala today."

Aeron remained quiet for a moment, "I had a trick to play on Mars."

Pryce looked at the fight between Sailor Mars and Tala, "You got them to fight each other? Why? I thought Master Maxon said he was playing to pickethem on one by one starting with the generals fighting the inner senshi?"

"Master Maxon didn't order this," Aeron explained turning her eyes to look at Kaiyo, "It's personal."

….

Azi smiled at her sleeping wife and kids.

She stretched and walked outside her hut at looked around at her small tribe of people.

This is all she ever really wanted and needed. A people that love her, a family, a place to call home.

She sighed in contentment. She looked to the tree live and felt her smile sleep as she saw a familiar black uniform appear from the trees.

The uniform of a Mystic Knight.

…

Sterling skidding along the ground for a second before she stopped herself.

The Knight hating fighting the senshi on even footing. Mars was great at fighting at long range and was keeping her at a distance.

Sterling pulled out her sword, thinking about just rushing Mars when she heard a scream.

She turned to see a black knight jumping away with Kaiyo in his arms.

"KAIYO!"

Then a ball of fire crashed into Sterling causing the world to go black.
