After Sara had her time to cry and calm down, she began to think clearly again: So, Adam, as he claimed his name, had not kissed Sara on the lips, so it was not as shameful as it could have been considered. However, this birdman is convinced he has the right to marry Sara without her having a say.

Why did she seem to attract all the creeps?! Looking at her companion, who had been comforting her, she knew Seira was too childish to understand the seriousness of marriage and could not be married off for several reasons.

Even though they knew it was wrong to think like this, Holly was a little jealous of Sara having romantic partners, even if only one-sided, and Alexis was just happy to have Holly with her again.

Meanwhile, the other girls are back in Naples to buy mountain climbing gear.

"We'll need to eat and drink water many times daily." Crystal, Orca, Gracie, Dawn, and Lucy picked up reusable water bottles and snacks. Crystal filled the bottles with Mercury's water, which is much healthier than tap water.

"Why do we need First Aid when you have Crystal's water/ice and my fire?" Christen asked, trying not to be too loud so as not to get kicked out of the store for causing a disturbance.

"While those are great to have, climbing a mountain requires a bit more." Chibiusa, Jewel, Ivy, and Shadow gathered medical supplies because they were sure they would need them after battling any sirens!

Christen's mood improved when she saw Ariel and the others carrying black climbing gear. Someone had to bring up the logical problem of how they packed everything after purchasing it.

"Hey, everyone, how will we keep the gear from getting ruined by the saltwater?" Gracie questioned.

After looking into the water to think for a minute, nobody answered...

"NO ONE THOUGHT OF THIS?!" Rei's daughter could not believe the most apparent issue had not been covered.

"Actually, our pearls should be able to form a protective barrier around the backpacks." Princess of the Crystal Sea wondered if this would work with two teammates missing.

Chanting in a language none of the lands Senshi knew, the mermaid's pearls lit up, and colored lights wove over the backpacks to create a spherical, glowing aura around them.

"Why didn't we think of magic?!" Mars kid rolled her eyes; even though Senshi are superheroines, they do not have magic like mermaids.

"We can't make barriers like this, Christen.'" Jewel growled, warning Christen to keep her comments to herself.

Christen knew a few could make barriers, but those were different, too. Despite the necessary backpacks, it was still tricky to swim with them; even the turtles seemed slower.

However, the most worrisome question on everyone's mind is: Who will the Sirens target next? Of course, the girls hoped to defeat them before that happened. Once back on Sirenum Scopuli, the group wasted no time suiting up to scale the cliffs.

"I wish we could just use Sailor Teleport." Their pink Moon Princess groaned.

"Even if we did, it would make us even easier targets for the sirens. At least, with this climbing gear on, we look less suspicious." Minako's daughter pointed out.

"I don't think those creatures are that dim. Eventually, they will notice it's us." Ariel's argument made sense, too.

"That's when we use our gear as weapons." Shadow took out her pick axe.

"I'd...rather just shoot fire." Mars's guardian shook her head, her black hair swaying with her movement.

"You would think that." Trisha gave Christen a look that said, 'Seriously?'

"Anybody THINK this is crazier than anything Sailor Moon and her Senshi ever faced?" Christen commented after they had reached a height which, if they fell, would be fatal.

Though everyone agreed with the Warrior of Fire, they lived very different lives from their mothers, especially Christen, whose short temper often resulted in her using her powers before thinking things through.

No one knew two male harpies had their eyes on the beautiful princesses of the Mediterranean Sea and Arctic Ocean! Karen and Noel were considered exotic!

As expected, it took the sirens a few minutes to figure out who these mountain climbers were, and then they wasted no time attacking them. Then the girls attacked back!

"Cut it out!" Their red-eyed princess swung a hook at them!

These sharp items proved to be as dangerous as ice, fire, and electricity are against the sirens!

"They are protective of their wings!" Crystal yelled.

"Can it, brainy!" Lily, who seemed almost as hot-headed as Rei's black-haired daughter, cut the blue-eyed girl's rope with the talons on her feet!

Mercury's guardian screamed as she slipped!

"Heart Chain Constrict!" Looking up, a chain of golden hearts wrapped around the light brunette's legs and waist, saving her!

These abilities were weaker than civilians, but that never seemed to pose much of an issue.

"Thanks, Gracie!" Crystal called.

"No worries! What are friends for?! Climb back up here; I can't dangle you forever!" Venus's defender struggled to pull up her friend, so Ariel, Hannah, and Coco grabbed the chain to help.

Somehow, this simple procedure turned into a battle between them and the sirens, with Karen, Noel, and the sirens brothers getting involved!

"Electric Ice Dragon!" Electricity and ice struck out in the form of the mythical beast, who breathed an icy mist, leaving everyone chilled.

Thanks to Ariel and Crystal's quick combo attack, Ariel, Hannah, and Coco made it out and drove off the sirens and their brothers!

"Where are Gracie, Crystal, Karen, and Noel?" Jewel's golden eyes grew wide when she realized what must have happened: They had been abducted, too!

On top of the cliffs, Karen and Noel had been put into an enchanted sleep and put in one of the nests with the male sirens, who took their pearls, hid them, and laid with the young ladies, which was concerning as Noel wore a short dress.

Meanwhile, Gracie and Crystal happily hugged Sara, Seira, and the sister Senshi when they came to as the foursome were treating their wounds as much as they could from the fight.

"What happened?" Warrior of Love and Beauty rubbed her sore head.

"We got captured." Ami's blue-eyed daughter took out her supercomputer to scan the surroundings. This could help them detect a way out or a way in for their friends.

"That's really clever, Crystal." Sara complimented when she realized what Mercury's guardian was doing.

"Thanks." Soldier of Water and Ice smiled, proud of herself.

Although they worried about Karen and Noel, they could not do anything for them. Also, Adam returns to try to force Sara to love him! As he tried to kiss her, this time on the lips, she managed to summon enough energy, and she glowed bright orange and blasted Adam with a beam formed from the magic! This ability was exclusive to Sara. As Seira mentioned, none of the other Aqua Senshi can do it.
