"The prince already has the other two, this is just needlessly cruel." Rubeus mused. Jupiter ascended into the green light above her. The two disappeared.

"Jupiter!" Sailor Moon screamed. Not again. We landed on the wet floor still staring at the sky.

"Are you ok?" Topaz asked as she bounded towards us, Luna and Tuxedo Mask close behind. "What happened?"

"Where's Jupiter?" Luna added.

"They took her!" Sailor Moon sobbed, turning and burying her head in my chest. She started to cry as I wrapped my arms around her.

"We couldn't stop them." Venus muttered.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered, my lips brushing against Sailor Moon's ear.

"Take it, perform your analysis." Venus said to the people behind us, causing me to glance back at them. Tuxedo Mask was holding a small containment unit holding what looked to be Petz's earring. "Hopefully you'll be able to gain something useful to make up for my failure." Venus gazed at Sailor Moon, disheartened. "I'm so sorry Usagi. I should have saved her."

"We did the best we could." I told her. "But...today it just wasn't our day." I pressed a kiss to Sailor Moon's temple, hoping to bring her some comfort.

TIMESKIP

Minako, Usagi, Mamoru, Luna, Topaz and I all gathered in the Command Centre later that day, hoping that Artemis and Malachite had something for us. My hands rested on Usagi's shoulders to remind her that I was there, and she was leaning heavily into me. "We've been investigating these so-called UFO's that the Black Moon used to abduct Mars, Mercury and Jupiter." Artemis started. "They're actually wormhole-like portals through space."

"As much as we've tried we haven't been able to pin point where they're coming from." Malachite added. "We don't even know when or where the next one will appear."

"If the Black Moon came through space through these portals, does that mean their aliens?" Minako asked.

"Not necessarily. I mean, you and Usagi are from different planets, your not exactly aliens yourself. However, it is likely."

"There must be some reason they're targeting the Earth. Are they trying to kill us because we're in their way? They don't know who they're messing with!" I felt Usagi tense underneath my hands.

"They're not, Usako." I muttered to her, rubbing her shoulders gently. "I'm sure that the girls are all fine."

"I can't take it anymore." Minako said angrily. "It's like they're toying with us!" Minako turned to us. "I've had it! Enough is enough. We have to confront Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi about the Black Moon, and make them tell us everything they know. Let's settle it once and for all, whether she's our enemy or our friend." Mamoru and I shared a look. She was definitely determined. We left the command centre and ventured to the Tsukino household, Luna perched on the Princess' shoulders. I carried the earring, holding it in my hand. "How are you feeling?" Minako asked as Mamoru opened the door. "Are you sure you're up to this?"

"Yeah, I'll be ok." Usagi replied.

"Welcome home!" Two voices cheered, and Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi came racing towards us.

"Oh! Minako!" Ikuko greeted, poking her head out the side of the kitchen entryway with who I can only assume is one of the girls' friends. "And Kumiko and Mamoru! Sorry about all the noise, Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi brought a little friend over with them after school for a play date."

"Mamo! Kumi! Come meet her!" Chibi-Usa begged.

"Don't call her that!" Usagi protested.

"She's in the same class as us!" Chibi-Kumi said excitedly. "And her name is Momo, and her family owns that really good Chinese restaurant over in the shopping district!"

"Going to school has been good for them." Mamoru stated. "It's like they're just regular little happy girls."

"Just look at those faces." Luna implored. "They just can't be the enemy."

"Hi Momo, nice to meet you." Minako greeted as she knelt before Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi. "What were you guys doing? Can I play too?"

"Sure!" Chibi-Usa replied. Chibi-Kumi then let out an ear-piercing scream, covering her ears and closing her eyes as she curled up into a ball. Chibi-Usa screamed as well, her gaze directed at me.

"What's wrong? What is it?"

"Girls, are you ok?" I asked, stepping forward and hurriedly taking my shoes off with my toes. "I'm right here, everything is alright." Chibi-Usa grabbed her sister and pulled her backwards into Ikuko's arms.

"Noo!"

"Girls, It's just Kumiko." Ikuko soothed.

"No! Keep it away!" Chibi-Usa wailed. "Keep it away!" My eyes fell to the earring in my hand. By the Earth, she's terrified of this thing. What's wrong with it? I pressed the earring into Mamoru's hand. I gathered Chibi-Kumi in my arms, and took Chibi-Usagi's hand in mine and took them up to Usagi's room. The two curled into me crying their eyes out. "Shh…" I said softly, stroking their hair.

"Please, girls, we need you to talk to us." Minako pleaded. "Tell us what's wrong? Why are you scared of this Black Crystal earing? Is it the stone?"

"Because of that stone...our Mummy's." Chibi-Usa sobbed.

"What about your mum's? Did something happen to them?"

"Chibi-Usa, Chibi-Kumi, no more stalling!" Usagi ordered. "Tell us everything you know! The Black Moon, we need information."

"We don't know anything!" Chibi-Kumi exclaimed. "We promise! Nothing! It wasn't our fault!"

"I think that's enough interrogating for today." I suggested. "They've gone through so much, let's leave them be for a while."

"Ok, we'll stop." Usagi said after a pause. "We just need to know one thing. Chibi-Usa, Chibi-Kumi, can you prove you're not our enemy." Chibi-Usa turned to gaze at the fellow bub-haired woman in the room.

"We're not! We swear!" The pink-haired girl promised. "It's not anything like that!"

"How can we believe that if you won't cooperate. I can't take your word. If you want my trust, you'll have to earn it." Usagi then turned on her heel and ran out of the room. Minako and I shared a worried look.

TIMESKIP

Later that day, Mamoru and I sat across from each other in our living room, my charm bracelet and his pen in between us. We took a deep breath, and connected our essences to the Four Kings, our most trusted advisors, even in death. We opened our eyes to see spiritual projections of our fallen friends. "Master." Kunzite greeted. "Mistress."

"It's nice to see you again, Kunzite." I replied with a small smile. "And to all of you as well. Jadite, Nephrite, Zoisite."

"We've had a dire premonition."

"We sense something ominous behind your enemies grand scheme." Nephrite continued. "Their plan is larger and more nefarious than we initially believed."

"A strange distortion of time and space is emanating from that stone." Zoisite continued.

"Wait, are you telling us their Time Travelers?" Mamoru questioned.

"We're not certain." Jadite admitted. "Whatever they are, they're very dangerous."

"Master, Mistress, as your loyal Knights we're still here to advise and support you." Kunzite reminded us. "But we can not be with you, so use your powers, protect the Princess, and each other."

"I see visions when I touch someone." I said, my eyes falling to the floor. "How is that supposed to help me?"

"I have the same ability." Mamoru added. "It's no good in a fight. I wasnt born to do this. Sometimes I wonder why I was even re-born at all."

"Mamo…"

"Master, do not doubt yourself." Kunzite implored. "You are powerful. This is your destiny. You were not reencatnaited by acident. Events have been set in motion. The day draws near when the Princess will become Queen, your sister alongside her, and you, their loyal protector." The projections of our friends faded into nothing. I looked over at Mamo. I reached over and took his hand and squeezed it.

"Mamoru." I said, pulling myself closer to him. "You may not have been born to fight, but you did so nonetheless. That makes you stroger than I'll ever be, the fact your wiling to defy your birthright to protect our planet." I smiled. "You are so strong." I cupped the side of Mamoru's face. "You are the bravest person I know. If you ever doubt yourself, I will personally come to wherever you are and slap you." Mamoru laughed. I wrapped him in a hug. "If anything every happens to me, I want you to protect Usagi at any cost. I know I can't be there all the time, but...I know you'll be there."

TIMESKIP

There was talk of a public seance happening in a park not too far from mine and Mamoru's apartment, so us Sailor Scouts decided to take a gander at what was going on, because apparently this woman, Calaveras, was a member of the Black Moon Clan. Minako, Topaz, Malechite, Luna, Artemis and I were already at the park, waiting on Usagi. I was dressed in a green button up vest top, light blue denim shorts and white sneakers. My eyes were covered my black shades so no one knew what I was looking at. "The Earth is entering a new Era." Calaveras started. "This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius, the water bearer. Peace will guide the planets, love will steer the stars, and the Mystic Crystal Revelation will free the minds of man."

"Usagi, where are you?" Minako spoke into her communicator.

"Minako! My transformation broach is gone!" Usagi panted, it sounded like she was running. "Soemeone stole the Legendary Silver Crystal!" My eyes widened and I turned to the communicator.

"Usako, you're one-hundred-percent sure?" I clarified.

"Chibi-Usa or Chibi-Kumi must have taken it. I'm going after them to get it back! I'll be there as soon as I can!" The transmition cut off.

"Great." Minako muttered. "Perfect timing."

"Minako, Kumiko, something's wrong." Artemis said. The blonde and I turned to watch Calaveras again.

"We shall bring a grand reformation and lead the people of Earth down the path of ritegesousness. Be cautious of those who bear the mark of the White Moon, they wish to destroy these golden dreams with their evil Crystals. The Legendary Silver Crystal and the Legendary Golden Crystal." My breath hitched and I clutched my transformation broach.

"The Legendary Crystals are evil." The people chanted. "And the mark of the White Moon is not to be trusted."

"This is bad!" Minako stated. She grabbed my wrist. "Lets go!" Minako pulled me out from behind the tree we were looking through and went to confront Calaveras. "Everyone stop! None of this is real! She's a fraud! Don't listen to her!" The people turned their heads in unison and stared at us with dead eyes.

"Quit wasting your breath, you can't get through to them." Calaveras taunted. "I am Calaveras, second eldest of the four Spectre Sisters. My mind control is absolute, and soon it will reach everyone on Earth!" There was a crash, and the two cameramen were down and their cameras shattered. Malachite and Artemis stood tall.

"Kumiko! Minako! Do it now!" Malachite shouted at us.

"Venus Star Power!"

"Earth Crystal Power!"

"Make UP!" 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. I spun it once and held it behind me, glaring at Calaveras.

"I am the Pretty Guardian, who fights for Love and Beauty! I am Sailor Venus! In the name of Venus, I will punish you, with the power of Love!"

"I am the pretty guardian, who fights for Love and for Life! I am Sailor Earth! When you're on my planet, you play by my rules, and you're not following them!"

"There you two are, it's about time you showed up." Calaveras said, standing. She was expecting us, great. "I knew you'd be coming so I prepared something special." Three spectral images appeared from the bodies of Naru, Asunuma and a girl from Rei's school. They were the other three Spectre Sisters.

"Venus! My guardian planet!" Venus shouted. "Bestow on me, the power of Love!" A golden ehart appeared in Venus' hand. She flicked it, and it spun rapidly. "Rolling Heart Vibration!" Venus sent the spinning heart straight into the images, but it passed right though.

"You can not kll whats already dead. Spirits of the Four Spectre Sisters, Energy Attack!" The three lifted their hands, and sent a blast at us that we were unable to defend ourselves from. Lightning seared through my veins,

"My whole body is on fire!" I screamed. "It hurts so much!"

"And so the last three Sailor Guardians meet their end."

"Three?" I managed to get out over my screams.

"Crimson Rubeus himself should be doing away with Sailor Moon, the Rabbit and the Rose as we speak."

"No, he can't!" Venus protested. No! Usagi!

"You'll be seeing your friends soon Sailor Guardians!" I didn't know how much time had passed until the lightning stopped, I fell to my knees, my hands in the grass to try and keep me upright. I lifted my head slowly.

"Usako…" I breathed.

"Hey, what took you so long?" Venus asked.

"I don't know what you are, or where you came from, but you won't be hurting anyone I care about ever again!" Sailor Moon declared. "I am the Pretty Guardian, who fights for Love and for Justice! I am Sailor Moon! And now in the name of the Moon, I'll punsih you!"

"Stay out of my way!" Calaveras screamed, sending an attack at Sailor Moon who jumped out of the way just in time.

"Moon Princess Halation!" Sailor Moon cried, the light from the staff shooting towards our brown-haired assailant, killing her. I was gently helped up by Sailor Moon. I smiled at her, cupping her cheek.

"I knew you'd come for me." I muttered.

"If it wasnt for Tuxedo Mask, I would be here." Sailor Moon replied. I turned to my baby brother.

"Thank you." Everyone then turned their gazes to Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi.

"Chibi-Usa…you took my broach, were you and Chibi-Kumi planing on doing something with the Legendary Silver Crystal?" The sisters eyes watered and they looked down.

"We knew it was hopeless." Chibi-Usa admitted. "No matter how many Legendary Silver Crystal's we have, we're still not able to use them."

"Were you going to try and take my Crystal as well?" I asked. Chibi-Kumi nodded reluctantly.

"We knew it, but we took yours anyway. We know the Legendary Crystals from the past have no power except in the past."

"And we know that the ones from the future have no effect here too." Chibi-Kumi added. "And that they could only work in the future too. We were told that if all the Crystals were in the same time, it could be really bad. We didn't care though! We had to save out Mummy's!"

"With the power of all four crystals we thought maybe...we could do something."

"Legendary Crystals in the future? And ones from the past?" Usagi repeated. "I don't understand, what does that mean? Chibi-Usa, Chibi-Kimi, what are you trying to tell us?"

"Sailor Moon! Sailor Earth!" The twins choroused. "You two are our only hope! We're form the future! Thirtieth Century Earth! And we need you!"
