"Protected by Neptune. The outer planet of the sea." The teal-haired girl announced. "Guardian of the deep sea. I am Sailor Neptune!"

"Protected by Uranus. The outer planet of the wind." The blonde declared. "Guardian of the Heavens. I am Sailor Uranus!"

"Sailor Neptune…" Sailor Moon trailed off, "And Sailor Uranus?"

"No way, what's going on?" Venus wondered. "Are you new Guardians?"

"You don't need to know." Uranus said as Neptune lifted a mirror to her chest.

"I recognise that Hand Mirror!" Chibi-Moon gasped.

"It's a Talisman!" Chibi-Earth added, clenching her fists together determinedly. The other Inner Guardians gasped.

"A Talisman?" Sailor Moon wondered.

"Chibi-Moon? Chibi-Earth? Are you certain?" I asked my future daughters. "What Neptune is holding is a Talisman?" The two looked up to me, and then reached out, the two of them covering each-others mouths as if they had revealed something they weren't supposed to.

"Hello there little Usagi, little Kumiko." Neptune greeted softly with a gentle smile, "We meet again." My eyes snapped up to Neptune, and I glared harshly, stepping in front of Chibi-Moon and Chibi-Earth as a wave of protectiveness washed over me.

"Does that mean you're the ones who made us have the same nightmare?" Mars demanded. "About collecting the Talismans?"

"Nightmare?" Uranus muttered. "I see, so you're all starting to feel it as well. Your dreams of Talismans are dark premonitions."

"If you know something you need to tell us." Mercury stated, "What's this looming disaster all about?"

"Don't get the wrong idea, we have no intention of teaming up with any of you."

"But, just now, you helped us." Sailor Moon said.

"Saving you once does not mean we're friends."

"Wait!" Mercury called, "You're clearly after the Death Busters, same as we are. Can you tell us about them? Who are they?"

"Again, you don't need to know." Neptune said. She had put away her mirror…and had brought out a violin, setting the instrument on her shoulder. She started to play a tune, soundwaves echoing towards us, causing me to grip my head in pain.

"My ears are splitting!" Jupiter complained. "It's too loud!"

"I must restate, you aren't privy to such information." I said as I waved my hand in a straight line in front of me, palm facing downward. As I did, an icy set of piano keys appeared in front of me, hovering in the air and made entirely of the moisture in the air. I poisoned my hands, and I started to play. The Moisture in the air created soundwaves that shot towards the other Sailor Guardians.

"Is it you two?" Tuxedo Mask asked over the soundwaves, "The destruction! Are you the cause of it? Answer me!" Uranus lifted one of her hands.

"World Shaking!" She shouted, sending her attack forward. The attack exploded in front of us, and when the light died down, the two other Guardians were gone…and Sailor Moon was unconscious.

TIMESKIP

Gathering back in at the Command Centre, I held Usagi against my body as she woke up with a gasp. "You're awake." Ami said gently. I pressed a gentle kiss to mg girlfriend's temple.

"Are you alright, Usagi?" Luna asked worriedly.

"I can't believe those two!" Mako scoffed. "They just attacked us for no reason!" Mako punched a first into an open palm.

"Luna, we've confirmed that they're Guardians." Rei said. "What else do you know?"

"This doesn't make sense." Luna admitted. "Neptune and Uranus aren't like you, they shouldn't be here. They are Sailor Guardians, but more like Pluto was. They have their own mission, and seperate domains."

"Just like me…" I muttered.

"What do you mean?" Mamoru asked.

"Well, even though I was a Guardian, I wasn't like Mercury, Mars, Venus or Jupiter." I started, looking around at everyone. "I had my own mission, protect Earth."

"Given how far out Uranus and Neptune's domains are, we never should have met them." Luna continued. "They are legendary Guardians, shrouded in mystery. It was said they protected Silver Millennium from the far reaches of space."

"I didn't ever expect them to be reborn." Artemis admitted. "But if we're in a crisis, that might explain why."

"They do seem to be after the Death Busters." Ami pointed out.

"Ok, so that means they're on our side." Usagi insisted. "They're our fellow Guardians, right?"

"They attacked us, unprovoked and without explanation." Minako stated. "To me, that makes them enemies."

"They clearly said they weren't friends." Rei added. "So reasoning with them most likely isn't an option."

"At this point, they've both threatened and attacked us. If it happens again, we've got no choice but to fight back." Usagi gasped softly.

TIMESKIP

Walking home that afternoon, Mamoru and I held Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi's hands, with Usagi a couple steps behind us. "Hey, Kumi?" Chibi-Usa started.

"We know everyone said that Uranus and Neptune want to hurt us." Chibi-Kumi continued.

"They're good, we're sure of it." I smiled softly.

"You two share many traits with your mother." I commented. "Including your boundless optimism and hope." After arriving at mine and Mamo's apartment, we all prepared for bed and my girls were asleep almost instantly. If Uranus and Neptune aren't out enemies…what is their true purpose? Why are they here? My mind swarmed with thoughts as my head dipped and I succumbed to sleep.

DREAM

I stood atop a building, hand clasping a scepter as I held it aloft. The weight of it was familiar in my grasp. Across from me was another woman in the same pose, lifting a scepter high. Is it…is it us? Are we, together, the God of Destruction that our dreams are warning us about?

DREAM END

I woke up with a start, sitting up in a flinch the next morning. I looked over to see Usagi had woken up as well. "What was that?" She breathed. "We had the same dream, didn't we Kumi?" I confirmed it with a nod.

"Yeah…" I breathed. "The God of Destruction…"

TIMESKIP

I was late to meet up with Usagi that afternoon, school had run late. When I did arrive at Juban Park, a touch out of breath, I was startled to see Usagi in tears and that Haruka guy leaving her. "Usa!" I called, hurrying up to her. I dropped my bag and cupped her cheeks, gently wiping away a tear with my thumb. "Usa, are you ok?" Usagi lent forward, falling into my arms. I held my girlfriend tight, kissing her hairline. "It's ok, Usa." I muttered. Not wanting her to be alone, I brought Usagi back to my apartment. "Did you want some tea?" I asked her softly.

"Sure…" Usagi muttered. I milled around the kitchen to make the beverages. Usagi sat on the couch…she usually sat on the kitchen bench next to me as I did things in the kitchen. When I was done, I brought the mug over to Usagi, handing it to her.

"Careful, it's hot." I warned before sitting on the other end of the couch. I felt her eyes on me at one point.

"Listen, Kumi-" Usagi started, and I turned to face her just as the door to the apartment burst open.

"Hi Kumi!" A pair of voices choroused. "The door was open so we let ourselves in and-" Looking over, I saw the twins with Diana and Amber.

"Come on in, girls." I said with a small smile, standing. "I'll make you some tea." Usagi took the twins to sit at the table while I prepared the twins their drinks in the special mugs I kept for them. I could faintly hear them all talking. When I finished the drinks, I brought the mugs over to them. "Chibi-Usa, Chibi-Kumi, why did you two come over to visit?" I asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Chibi-Usa started.

"Me too." Her twin replied as the green-haired girl rummaged around her bag. "We need help with our homework."

"Oh no, my assignment for English class! It's due tomorrow!" Usagi wailed. "I better get home and finish it!"

"Don't go!" Chibi-Usa pleaded, grabbing onto Usagi's skirt to keep her there. "It's important! We need you to help help too!"

"Please?" Chibi-Kumi echoed. The two brought out two clay items. Chibi-Usa seemed to be holding a vase of some sort and Chibi-Kumi, a bowl.

"I'm making a replica of the Legendary Holy Grail." Chibi-Usa explained.

"I'm trying to see if I can re-make Pandora's Box." Chibi-Kumi added, setting the item on the table. "It's for art class."

"Can you help us out?"

"Whats a Holy Grail?" Usagi asked. "And…Pandora's Box?"

"Well, the Holy Grail is from Arthurian Legend." I started to explain, heading to get my laptop. "It was said to hold eternal youth and abundance. Though nowadays, it's used more as a religious symbol in various cultures. Pandora's Box on the other hand is from Greek Mythology, it's used as a cautionary tale about opening things you're not supposed to." I opened my laptop to search up the items.

"That's the Holy Grail!" Chibi-Usa pointed to a tall cup in one of the pictures.

"Oh, oh, I want to make that one!" Chibi-Kumi pointed to a gold encrusted box.

"Could you help us make something like it?"

"Let's see now…" Usagi trailed off. "What if we decorated them with beads and rhinestones so it looks more authentic?"

"That sounds perfect" Chibi-Kumi said with a grin, her eyes sparkling.

"I have some spare clay somewhere." I said, putting my finger to my chin. "And if you give me like, five or so minutes I can get some proper jewels."

"How can you do that?" Usagi asked. I winked at my girlfriend.

"Being princess of the Earth has it's perks." Pretty soon, we had the Holy Grail and Pandora's box finished.

"There!" Usagi declared. "Look, girls, it's done!"

"What do you two think?" The two of us turned to the couch, only to see the girls curled up next to each other, asleep. Usagi and I smiled at the two. Usagi then walked around and wrapped her arms around me from behind.

"Kumi…I'm sorry…" She muttered. "I didn't mean to be so close with Haruka." I turned in Usagi's arms, cupping her cheeks.

"I already told you before Usa, I trust you." I assured her.

"I trust you too. But even the other day, when I saw you talking with Michiru, it still made me feel jealous. Guess that was stupid, huh?"

"I don't think so." I said. "It just means…that you love me so much. And I feel jealous too. Admittedly, I feel jealous that Haruka is giving you all that attention, because he can give you something that I can't. I'm sure he has his reasons, though. He looks like he wants to tell you something, it's on the tip of his tongue but he can't say anything. Both him and Michiru, they look like they've got the weight of the world on their shoulders."

"You're right." Usagi agreed. "They're in pain." Usagi was silent for a moment before gasping and looking up at me. "We should probably go wake up the girls."

"You two can stay the night again." I said softly. "Let them sleep." I drew Usagi's face closer to mine with one hand, wrapping my other around her waist to tug her up into a long-awaited kiss.

TIMESKIP

That afternoon, at the Command Centre, we were greeted with a revelation by Ami. "You're actually going to attend Mugen Academy?" Minako demanded.

"But it's dangerous and you'll be all alone." Rei added.

"Don't worry, guys." Ami assured. "If anything happens, I'll contact you immediately."

"If you're sure, Ami." I said. "Be safe."

"Be careful, ok?" Usagi jumped in. Ami winked and turned off her communication. It was less than an hour later when Ami's communicator came online. "What is it, Ami?" Usagi asked.

"Just as we suspected!" Ami cried. "The Death Busters control Mugen Academy!"

"You're not getting away!" Someone shouted. That's when the communication cut out again. We were transformed within a minute and we were on the way to Mugen.

"Mars Snake Fire!" Mars cried when we got there, seeing Mercury in some sort of stasis.

"Jupiter Coconut Cyclone!" Jupiter shouted. They shot their attacks at the Death Buster, who protected herself but let Mercury go. Venus caught her before she hit the ground and helped her back onto her feet.

"Daimon's! Attack!" The Death Busters ordered. Two eggs appeared above unconscious students, and turned them into massive Atavisims, hulking brains that landed behind her. I dropped into a fighting stance, ready to attack, but Haruka and Mochiru landed in front of us.

"I guess we're gonna have to transfer again." Haruka commented.

"Oh well." Michiru replied,

"Haruka!" Sailor Moon gasped.

"Michiru?" Mars echoed. The two lifted their hands.

"Uranus Planet Power!" Haruka shouted.

"Neptune Planet Power!" Michiru cried.

"Make UP!" The two were so rounded in wind and water respectively, transforming before our very eyes.

"Protected by Uranus. The outer planet of the wind." Uranus declared after she had transformed. "Guardian of the Heavens. I am Sailor Uranus!"

"Protected by Neptune. The outer planet of the sea." Neptune announced, gently resting my Mirror on my chest. "Guardian of the deep sea. I am Sailor Neptune!"

"My Magical Tool!" Uranus shouted, waving her hand in the air, causing her Space Sword to appear. She grabbed it, "My Talisman! Show my power, and protect me!" Uranus lifted her sword into the air, "Space Sword Blaster!" At the tip of Uranus' sword, an orange ball of energy formed with a blue ring around it. She threw it forward. As it sped towards Viluy, it split into many smaller versions of it. Those became crescent-shaped and slammed against the barrier Viluy had created. The attack broke through easily, and they destroyed the Death Buster and the Atavisims with ease. Uranus dismissed her Talisman, causing it to disappear in a flash of light. We then turned on our heels leaping away.

"Uranus! Neptune!" Sailor Moon called. "Come back!" However, they ignored her cries as they disappeared.
