"It's no use." Rubeus said. "Berthier's water sphere is a torrent that will never run dry." Rubeus seemed to have no other comment, and he and Mercury disappeared into the sky,

"Mercury!" Sailor Moon cried.

TIMESKIP

I had a free day the next day, so, I decided to train harder. I got myself a gym membership and worked on my strength. I need to get stronger. I kicked the punching bag. I need to be quicker. A jab landed. I need to protect my friends! A punch landed square in the centre, ripping the bag off its hinges and throwing it across the room. My breath came out in short pants, staring at the bag now laying limp on the floor. I apologised profusely to the gym owner, paying for damages before having a shower leaving. I arrived at the arcade, and sat waiting for Usagi. "Hey Kumi!" Usagi called happily as she entered the arcade. I turned and smiled, noticing the two little girls behind her.

"Hey yourself." I said. "I didn't expect to be meeting all three of you today."

"Huh? All three of us?" Usagi looked down and finally noticed Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi beside her. "Chibi-Usa?! Chibi-Kumi?! Where did you two come from!" The sisters stepped into the arcade, clutching their toys.

"Kumi, what is this place?" Chibi-Usa asked.

TIMESKIP

Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi were seated side-by-side on two separate Sailor V games. They were amazing, managing to rack up points like crazy. "Those are the highest scores of all time!" Motoki commented. "No one's even come close to that! You two are incredible!" I eyed the two electronic toys as they shifted. That was weird. Chibi-Kumi grabbed her Topaz-P ball and lifted it over her head.

"That was so fun!" She cheered. "I wanna play more!"

"Me too! Me too!" Chibi-Usa agreed, holding her Luna-P tight. The twins played almost every game in the store, racking up points and winning prizes like pros. Mako commented that they were naturals. Usagi then ran off declaring she could win twice as much.

"Kumi! Kumi!" The twins cheered, running over to me. Both had armfuls of candy. "We won all the candy!"

"That's quite a bit you've got there." I commented.

"Girls, come over here, I'll get you bags to carry all that loot." Motoki called out.

"Ok!" Chibi-Kumi chimed, racing off to follow the blonde with Chibi-Usa close behind.

"Did you catch that?" Minako asked me, shifting her gaze to the two balls that were sitting a little ways away from us. I turned to them as well, addressing her as I spoke.

"Yeah, I spotted it." I told her. Those toys are helping them win the games.

"Usagi, Chibi-Usa, Chibi-Kumi." Motoki called, holding three Sailor V toys in his hands. "These are for you, for being such good customers. Just don't tell my Uncle." The three grinned happily, each taking one of the dolls.

"Yay!" They cheered. "Sailor V dolls!" The three seemed so similar, if I didn't know any better I could have walked passed and thought they were mother and daughter.

"They're definitely three of a kind." Mako commented. I knelt close to the two young girls.

"You two seemed to have fun winning all those games." I said softly.

"Yeah!" The two chorused. I brushed a piece of hair out of Chibi-Kumi's eyes and gently tucked some hair back into Chibi-Usa's odango.

"I think you two have had enough excitement for one day. How 'bout I take you both home, Usako needs to spend some time with her friends now."

"Awww!" The two girls pouted. I stood, turning to Usagi and the others.

"I'll drop them off and be back as soon as I can, alright?" I walked up to Usagi, gently pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "I love you." I then offered my hands to Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi. "Now then, let's go."

TIMESKIP

I sighed as I walked down the Command Centre's floating steps. "Thanks for waiting."

"Where are the girls?" Topaz asked, her tail swaying nervously.

"I thank Selene for my brother every day." I crossed my arms, stepping next to Usagi. "He took them to the park to tire themselves out before taking them home."

"Remind me to thank him next time I see him." Minako told me.

"No kidding." Mako agreed. "Those two were the last people I'd expected to see here."

"I'm sorry." Usagi apologised. "I didn't realise they were following me. I should have been more careful." I placed my hand on Usagi's shoulder, causing her to look up at me.

"It's not your fault." I told her. "They're slippery."

"Don't beat yourself up." Luna said. "I'm glad the girls were here to distract you. 'Cause now you feel better! Don't you?" Usagi nodded.

"Good to hear." Mako commented.

"So, what's the latest?" Minako asked. "Have you figured out where Rei and Ami are?"

"I still haven't been able to reach them or pick up their signals." Artemis said, his paws in putting things into the console.

"We've been looking, but we haven't found anything, unfortunately." Malachite added, his ears drooping as his head sagged. "They're too far away for our sensors to find."

"Wherever they are I hope they're alright." Usagi stated.

"The Black Moon." Minako muttered. "I hate to admit it but I can't get a read on them. They wormed their way into our lives and started causing trouble."

"This Rabbit Berthier wanted, do you think that could that be Chibi-Usa?" Mako wondered. "And what was that Rose she wanted too? If she wanted Chibi-Usa does that mean that she wanted Chibi-Kumi too?"

"Possibly." Did they want the girls? I thought, my fingers coming up to grip my chin. I was so forced on Ami I didn't hear what she said, did I miss something crucial? "Whatever's really been going on, I think it's clear that the twins hold the key."

"Yeah." Mako agreed. "Until we figure things out, we can't let them get their hands on the girls. We have to keep them safe."

TIMESKIP

Mamoru and I were walking down the street that night after getting groceries, and we spotted Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi. "Come on." I said. I lead Mamoru to them. I squatted down to talk to them, handing my groceries over to my brother. "Hey girls." I said sweetly. "Are you two ok? What are you doing out here by yourself?" I reached out to them, and my hand came in contact with their shoulders. My eyes widened as images flashed through my brain. An explosion The girls crying out for their mothers in the midst of rubble. A castle made of silver and gold. What was that? Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi whimpered, turning to me.

"Oh." Chibi-Kumi said, sniffing. "It's you…"

"What's wrong?" Mamoru asked, squatting beside me. "Did all the thunder and lightning scare you?" Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi buried their heads into my stomach, sobbing.

"Everything is going to be ok." I soothed, running my fingers through their hair. "I'm here."

"Mummy! Mamma!" They cried, clutching me tightly.

TIMESKIP

I sat with Usagi, Luna and Topaz at a caffee the next day. The Luna-P and Topaz-P balls were sitting next to us. "Mamo and I talked about it, and we can't fix their toys." I said sadly. "We hate to disappoint the girls. We can't even figure out how to open the things."

"Chibi-Usa! Chibi-Kumi! That's all I ever hear!" Usagi complained. "Those kids are what everyone ever talks about! My parents are even sending them to school now! I'm sick and tired of this I can't take it anymore!"

"I'm sorry sweetheart." I apologised. "But we did promise to protect them. Either way, they've seemed to grow attached to you."

"Yeah, I know, like a pair of stalkers. I really don't get what you see in them. How can you be one-hundred-percent certain she's not our enemy?"

"To be honest, every time I come in contact with them, I've been getting these visions...I can see how terrified they are."

"So you think the Black Moon are some other enemy who's after Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi so they ran to us for help?"

"It's a possibility. But I think it's much worse than that. I don't even think the two are from this world."

"I wonder if the Black Moon and those two are from the same place."

"Nice one Usagi!" Luna cheered. "Excellent deduction!"

"Thank you."

"Careful, don't get cocky now."

"I won't. But I would make a good detective, don't you think?"

"It is a high possibility that you're right."

"Yeah. And if I am, that means Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi might know something important. Like where the Black Moon took Rei and Ami when they kidnapped them."

"I'm not too sure about these things." Topaz said, eying the Luna-P and Topaz-P balls. "Are we even sure they're really broken?" Topaz pressed the diamond on the Topaz-P's forehead and a green smoke erupted from it, causing us to cover our mouths.

"Topaz! Make that thing stop!"

TIMESKIP

Mamarou and I were sitting having a talk when my communicator went off. I answered the call. "Hey Minako, everything alright?" I asked.

"Can you meet me at Mako's place?" She asked.

"Yeah, of course, is everything ok?"

"I can't contact her."

"Of course, yeah, I'll be there." I said goodbye to Mamoru before running to Mako's place. I braved the rain to make it to her apartment building at the same time as Minako and Usagi. "It won't open!" Usagi complained.

"What?" Minako gasped.

"It's locked!"

"Jupiter Star Power!" I heard Mako yell. Usagi, Minako and I turned to each other and nodded,

"Moon Crystal Power!"

"Venus Star Power!"

"Earth Crystal Power!"

"Make Up!" We chorused. Vines wrapped around my torso, feet and arms to create my Sailor Uniform, heels and gloves. The planetary symbol for the Earth appeared on my forehead shining green. It changed into my golden tiara with a green gem in the centre. My skirt and cape were brown, whereas the bow's on my skirt and chest are green as well as the cuffs of my gloves and choker. I was also wearing green heels that crossed over the front of my feet and over my ankles. My green bow kept my hair in its high ponytail, letting it fall down my back. My staff appeared in my hand and I gripped it tight.

"Hi-yah!" I shouted, my heel connecting with the door and knicking it open. Venus, Sailor Moon and I raced into Mako's apartment to see Jupiter hoisting a figure over her head, an exact copy of her civilian self, however with glowing green eyes.

"You really didn't think you could replace me did you?" Jupiter asked sarcastically. Jupiter threw the doll out of the apartment, through a glass door and onto a balcony. It shimmered, becoming one of the Black Moon dummies before disappearing. We raced onto th balcony and turned to the large green light in the sky.

"Darn it!" A voice shouted. We looked up to see a woman with long dark green hair tied in a bun and dark green eyes. She was wearing a sleeveless short dress with a decorative bodice and black fur on her shoulders. She also had a black belt with the buckle off the side of her hip, long green gloves, black leggings and short boots. Her most distinct feature was the Black Moon Clan's mark upon her forehead, causing me to grit my teeth in anger. "Why couldn't you just die like you were supposed to? Who are you? You've met the other Spectre Sisters. I, Petz, am the eldest. I'm here to make you pay for what you did to my younger siblings!"

"You're with the same guys who took Mars and Mercury!" Jupiter realised. She lept off the balcony towards Petz.

"Jupiter!" Sailor Moon called. A handful of black creatures appeared in front of us. I could see out the corner of my eye flashes of purple and green, Petz and Jupiter fighting like crazy. Sailor Moon, Venus and I managed to fight our way onto the roof of Mako's apartment building.

"Man these things never end!" I complained. "Do they ever run out?" When we finally caught a break, my eyes widened at the sound of a scream. The three of us looked up to see Jupiter encased in purple lightning. "No!"

"Moon Princess Halation!" Sailor Moon cried, the light from the staff shooting towards our green-haired assailant, killing er. However, much like with Mercury and Mars, the lightning didn't cease. Rubeus had appeared one more time.

"Too bad, no more Petz." He mused as Jupiter ascended into the green light above her. "But she left me such a lovely present!"

"Jupiter!" Sailor Moon screamed.
