~Chapter five~

"Ah," screamed a random beta male.

"Seriously, another one?" asked Mikey in disbelief and annoyance.

"We should transform and go help him, big brother." said Serena.

Mikey nodded as both transformed and ran towards the scream. Once they reached the area, they saw their school's star football player being hit by a yellow energy from the same girl that they met not that long ago. They glared at the girl just as the crystal that came out of the person turned black.

"Oh, another dud," said Iron Mouse, unamused.

"Again?!" called Mikey.

"This is the worst time ever to try to attack someone," called Serena as both appeared.

"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 punish you!" "I am the Pretty Guardian, who fights for safety and security for all, I am the Sun Knight! And now in the name of the Sun, I'll burn you!" The two siblings yelled at the same time.

"Ugh," groaned Iron Mouse, "It's you two again."

"Don't forget about us," called out a female voice.

"I am Sailor Mars," said Rei.

"Sailor Mercury," said Ami.

"Sailor Jupiter" said Makoto.

"Sailor Venus," said Minako.

"And we shall punish you," called the four girls.

Sailor Iron Mouse introduced herself once more, leaving the Inners to be shocked. Serena and Mikey weren't that shocked as they tried to get Iron Mouse away from the football player. Iron Mouse smirked evilly just as the football player was wrapped in black before turning into a Phage.

The Inners glared at the duo, but Serena just said that they will have a Senshi meeting later. Nodding their heads, they used their attacks on the Phage, but it wasn't working.

Serena was thankful for all of the times she and Mikey were doing katas and sparring. It really helped out in this situation. And with that, everyone heard snapping as well.

Mikey and Serena looked up to see the three mysterious GOOD Senshi as they said..."Penetrating the darkness of night..." called out Star Fighter.

"The wind of freedom breaks through..., continued Star Maker.

"We're the three sacred shooting stars..., continued Star Healer.

"Sailor Star Fighter!" called out Star Fighter.

"Sailor Star Maker!" called out Star Maker.

"Sailor Star Healer!" called out Star Healer.

"Oh? The Sailor Starlights are here," said the three together.

"Sailor," started Ami.

"Starlights?" questioned Makoto.

"You two have a LOT to explain to us later," glared Rei.

Mikey and Serena just nodded their heads sheepishly as they started to rush at the Phage once again. The Starlights used their attacks and got the monster to become weaker.

It was Mikey and Serena who used their newest attacks on the Phage that turned itself back into the football player.

"Maybe you aren't so weak after all," said Star Healer.

"Let's go," said Star Fighter. "Senshi meeting RIGHT now," said a serious Serena as everyone left for Hikawa Shrine.

At Hikawa Shrine:

"What is this about evil Senshi?" asked a female voice.

"That's just it, Luna," said Serena, "We encountered an evil Senshi who was blasting people. Harming civilians"

"And then a crystal appears, but then turns black," said Mikey.

"And that is how they get turned into a Phage? Right?" asked a male voice.

Serena and Mikey nodded as they looked down to see a white cat and a black cat named Artemis and Luna respectively. After Mikey came into Serena's life, they left Luna with Rei at her home while Artemis lived with Minako. The parents said that one cat has to go, and they felt that Mikey's mutated cat, Ice Cream Kitty as he called her, would be much safer with them than anywhere else.

The one thing that Mikey brought with him when he left his older brothers was his mutated cat. Serena was all for it as the parents were just reluctant because they heard about mutants from the news.

Anyways, Luna was passing back and forth, her black tail moving in agitation. "We should call the Outers," said Luna.

"I'm 90% sure Setsuna already knows what is going on, Luna." Replied Makoto.

"And the others?" Questioned Artemis.

"We should be on the lookout and hopefully the Outers do not fly off the handle with... Outsiders, we already have enough drama as it is," sighed Mikey.

"Why would they fly off the handle?" questioned Minako.

"You don't remember their jobs in the Silver Millennium, did you?" questioned Mikey.

"We are still getting our past memories," said Ami.

Mikey sighed as he was the one to explain that the Outers' jobs were to keep all those that were not native to their Solar System away. However, it didn't mean that there were others outside the Solar System to be a Sailor Senshi like them.

After The Senshi Meeting:

"Why did I have to be the one to explain things to the Inners? Their YOUR guardians after all." Huffed Mikey.

"Because you are great at story-telling," said a teasing Serena.

"Hardy har har," Mikey laughed sarcastically.

Serena giggled as she and Mikey FINALLY got their homework from the school. With the Phage and the senshi meeting, they forgot to gather their homework from Mikey's "sick" day.

Serena and Mikey were now walking around the park before they went back home, why? Because it's relaxing.

Mikey smiled as Serena was trying to balance on the edge of the water fountain. However, Serena tripped over her own two feet due to a misstep. Mikey was about to help Serena, but winced as he didn't quite catch her. Serena groaned as she landed on something.

"Ouch," said Serena.

"Haha, Serenity, are you alright??" said Mikey who was holding in his chuckles.

"Yeah," groaned Serena, "But I landed on something."

"Huh? What?" asked Mikey as he went to help Serena up.

"I landed on...an incense burner?" Answered Serena, in an uncertain and confused tone, as she picked it up.

"Hmm? An incense burner? I guess someone must have left it here." Mikey thought out loud.

"Why would someone leave such a very pretty incense burner?" asked Serena, baffled.

"I don't know, Serenity," said Mikey, "But now, it's ours!"

Serena smiled as she looked at the incense burner. She felt that something will happen in the future with this object. Something life changing, in a way. Mikey also felt the same thing, but his instincts didn't tell him to leave it alone. Instead, it was screaming at him to bring the incense burner with him.

"Guess we now know what we're going to talk to Papa about when we enter meditation" said Mikey as he and Serena left the park to quickly go home and start on... homework.
