I pouted. Usagi is really upset.

Usagi just cursed out uh…what's his real name? Better yet, what is he?

I don't know.

Well, Usagi cursed out the evil skull and they were arguing back and forth.

I just KNEW I had to intervene. We had to stay focused!

"Sagi…" I whispered as I placed an assuring hand on her shoulder. I hope the childish nickname will calm her. "Now's not the time to talk. This is a battle. Don't anger him with your words and we might have a chance at beating him."

Usagi sighed as she placed her own hand on top of mine, she smiled at me warily, "I know, buddy. You're right."

I wanted to scream, 'Of course I'm right! When am I not?!' But I knew better than that. Now was definitely NOT the time for jokes.

"Oh, how sweet. The royal siblings are bonding. If I didn't have to kill you, this moment, I would have enjoyed it," the…skull/Nemesis/Wiseman teased.

Oh, that prick! He dares to tease me! I'm THE Dc. Delicate Touch, baby! He should fear me! Plus…his jokes suck. Like, they belong in a ditch. His whole…EVERYTHING should be in a ditch. Where can I find a ditch..?

UGH! I just can't believe him, trying to gaslight ME into thinking I'm royalty. I'm not dumb!

Plus, Usagi isn't my sister…she isn't. Period. I alredy have one. April.

I scowled at him, "You and your jokes. Why don't you fight us and quit acting like a coward. Fight us like a man."

Wait. Was this skull/planet still even a man? What exactly was he?

"I mean…I assume you're still one," I added thoughtfully.

"Oh, how feisty you are," the skull/planet/man rumbled. He said something else in Japanese but I couldn't catch it. I could only hear and comprehend certain parts. Something about mates? Who's Zemoriah? And why does that name sound so familiar? Does he mean King Zemon? The one who trapped him? Is that his full name: Zemoriah?

"Who…ugh, nevermind," I replied calmly, "I don't know if you heard me or not, but I just said no chit chat. I also just said to stop being a coward. Stop stalling, Wise guy. It's pathetic."

The skull/planet/man rumbled once more when it suddenly came to a stop.

Purple rays of light glowed around us…woah. It's so…wow. I was almost entranced by the light's beauty. I felt as if my body weren't my own.

My eyelids become heavy. I almost fell back if it weren't for Usagi holding me up.

I looked around slowly and saw the others in similar positions.

Positions*…what a pretty word!

No! Stay focused, Michelangelo!

I tried to talk but only a soft whimper came out of my mouth. Usagi looked down at me in confusion. Why couldn't I speak?! This was so annoying. I pouted in defeat when suddenly we were falling; AGAIN.

.

.

.

My name is Michelangelo Jonas Hamato. (Male fin of my middle anme and I'll burn yoy alive 3) Many years ago, a mad scientist named Baron Draxum (A silly guy I call Barry!) created me and my three older brothers. Us four brothers became mutated turtles. Yeah, turtles. We're half human and half mutant turtle. It may sound wierd, but it's actually pretty cool! I wouldn't change a thing.

Our pops, who's an ex movie star turned into a rat, took us in and raised us to be fun-loving ninja heroes!

As the mad dogs, my brothers and our best friend: April O' Nei, it's our duty to fight crime! We're totally badasses!

We've fought robots, mythical creatures, some humans, and mutants. I've seen some weird things.

But, if you told me that I would be plummeting into an unknown mass of mystic—very evil—fog—for the second time—with Sailor Senshi before the last few days, I would call you crazy and punch you 'outta spite; because…oh…mi…gosh, this is the wildest thing that's ever happen to me. And I'm from New York. The birthplace of crazy…or so I thought.

.

.

.

Of course NOW my senses were back online. I swear Nemesis is now my arch-nemesis. Get it? I'm so funny! Leo would approve for sure. Leo…my brothers. Oh…I'm so in trouble. Yeah, I'm dead-meat.

Welp! I'll deal with that later.

Anyways, my mind finally felt as if it were, you know, mine. I would've been glad but we all were falling downwards; for the second time. Gosh, this was so tiring.

I felt Usagi turn me around to fall behind her. I held onto her shoulders so I wouldn't drift away.

It was funny even though I had my weapon. She's so protective. She reminds me of Raph…

"Enough of stalling. That's what you asked Mitsuki, right?" The skull teased.

For some reason everyone was tense at that sentence. That's weird.

"Well," the skull started, his attention was focused on Usagi, "Take your best shot, Queen of Earth!"

Well, that's totally NOT suspicious at all!

"Oh yes, I can," Usagi exclaimed as we fell. I saw her hold on her magical rod tightened as it blew a white light that was nearly blinding. It was so bright I had to cover my eyes with my arms. I felt myself drift but the light was too much to bear. I had to let go.

"You want Earth," Usagi said as she gently pushed me farther away from her and closer to Sailor Venus, "you'll have to go through me," Usagi finished as I finally bumped into V.

I didn't have time to react to the movement because Usagi yelled loudly and blasted the Skull. I felt everyone gasp, V grabbed onto my forearm. "D…D-Don't le…let me let go of you," she whispered. I nodded.

Usagi grunted as she strengthened her hold on her rod.

Suddenly everything shook and the white light consumed us all. I don't recall screaming. But V clasped a hand over my mouth.

I yelped as I fell to a sturdy Earth-like ground. I…don't know how to feel. I'm confused. I gasp as I look behind me. This earthly ground WAS Earth!

I guess Chibi-Usa also realized this as she too looked around in glee.

"Where did Nemesis go," asked King Edymiom as he helped me to my feet.

I looked up at him, "I dunno," I shrugged, "was he destroyed?"

Chibi-Usa gasped loudly.

"Hm," I hummed in confusion as I turned to face the little girl. She looked like she was about to burst out in tears. That thought made me frown.

"Where's Sailor Moon," she yelped.

"Sailor Moon," exclaimed all of us in unison and in realization.

Ohmigosh she's missing!

"Oh, no! If that attack caused Nemesis to implode," started King Endymion, "the shockwave could've hit Sailor Moon!"

Chibi-Usa trembled, "Oh, no! Sailor Moon!"

Suddenly I realized why she pushed me into Sailor Venus.

I looked at Endymion, "Is…is she dead?!" The king looked down at me in shock as I began to sob, "Is she?!"

"No," Mamoru replied for his future self.

I looked at him through my tearful eyes. "Wha-"

"She can't be dead. If she was, I'd know it. She's my girlfriend, we're connected. What she feels, I feel."

As V cooed I couldn't help but feel angry.

"If you SO certain she's not dead, then where is she," I commanded.

Everyone looked at each other. I could tell they were all thinking the same thing. 'Where WAS Sailor Moon?'

"No one? No one has an IDEA," I cried.

"M-Mikey," stuttered Mamoru as he looked at me in shock.

"No! She isn't dead but then where is she? Is she inside that big castle?! Is she back in Japan? I-"

"Mikey! Your hands," Luna said.

"What," I hissed. OH! OH MY-

My breath shook, "W-What's goin' on?! My hands feel warm!"

They were glowing a golden color. It looked almost metallic. This sensation was similar to when I was shooting fire out of my hands. But yet, it felt so different at the same time.

"Mikey…" muttered Mamoru as he put his hand on my shoulder. His hands, I could see, glowed too. "What the?!"

The color of his royal crystal if I'm correct. The Aureate Crystal of Earth (V and I read a book about the royal families and the five royal kingdoms). All though his glow was faint. No…it was bright a few seconds ago and now it faint. It's as if his power is giving itself to…me.

I could feel a power surging through me. Was it Mamoru's? Or…"Usagi! It's her!"

"Eh," asked Mamoru as he looked at the faint glow of his hands. The light dimmed.

"Ōji-sama," gasped Rei.

I looked up to say something but suddenly I wasn't with her. I was with Usagi—who was somehow already in my arms hugging me tightly.

Usagi adjusted to look down at me and smiled. I couldn't help but smile back at her.

"Mamo and Chibiusa are safe," I assured her quietly. I didn't want to be loud.

Usagi smiled and blushed slightly, "I'm glad. If anything were to happen to my love and future daughter…"

I didn't hear what she said. My adhd kicked in and I had to look around. 'What a lonely place,' I thought. 'But, for some reason, it makes me feel…empty.'

I looked back at a still rambling Usagi, "Where are we," I interrupted.

"I don't know. I was about to ask you," Usagi admitted bashfully.

I looked around again, "Space? I think we're somewhere deep in space."

Usagi gasped as she looked behind me. I was about to ask her what she was looking at but she yelled: "Over there. Look," before I could.

I turned my head around to see a creepy looking orb. It radiated evilness. It was glowing warm colors like it dared us to approach. In the middle, the scary part, was a man like shape. The shape of a head. The eye sockets were pure black.

Death Phantom.

Death Phantom chuckled, "This planet, my host body, will be your graves!"

I gasped. Suddenly a part of me wished that it was Mamoru who was here instead. The coward part of me. He could protect Usagi. Could I? I had to. She's a princess. And most importantly, she's my friend!

"Hey! Don't be so cocky, wise guy," I growled, stuffing my fear deep down, "or else I'll make you!"

A familiar rumble rocked the space bubble.

"This will be your graves," Death Phantom continued unfazed, "and then I'll have the Malefic Black Crystal plus the Legendary crystals of the silver millennium! And I won't stop there, once I get your crystals: I'll take the Aureate Crystal fr-"

This time Usagi growled, "You will not be taking my future husband's Crystal! Not now, not ever," she said protectively.

Death Phantom rumbled in response; the sound sent a shiver down my spine; a cold and dead feeling in my core. All of this happening for crystals?!

"The difference between the crystals is significant," Usagi murmured sadly with a hint of fear in her voice, "Gold and Aureate bring love to all beings of the word, yet, so much blood had been spilled because of my crystal."

I suddenly felt all the pain my friend was experiencing, and I soon saw where she was going with her speech, "Sailor Moon, no! Don't think like that!"

"I can't help it, Michelangelo. Maybe the Legendary Silver Crystal shouldn't exist. Maybe I shouldn't," she stated as she clung onto my right sleeve, "The universe might be better off without us."

"Sailor Moon, so many people would disagree. So many people love the light you bring into their lives," I said softly as to not show my own fearful emotions, "You are a Senshi, a pretty guardians of the moon! Think of the countless lives and soals both you and that Crystal have saved!"

"Mikey…"

"I may not have known you for long but, I do know your purpose on Earth is important! You must stay focused, Sailor Moon," I encouraged, "Think of all who love you down on Earth! Your mom, dad, little brother, Mamo, Chibiusa, the Senshi, the cats…so many love you. You have to remember to believe in yourself and keep on goin'!"

Usagi started at me with wide eyes, she repeated my name again this time with a hint and of happiness.

I smiled, "And if you ever feel lost of uncertain, I will always be here for you. May it be in New York, Japan, or even space," I gestured around us, "I will be here. And think what would the future husband you're so protective of think if you…if you even think this way?"

Usagi smiled while her eyes glistened, "Hah, you know what, I didn't realize untill just now. I've never been able to use the Crystal's full power, unless he—my soul, my body, and love—was near."

I tilted my head, "Well…then we're doomed because Mamo isn't here."

Usagi giggled, "That's not my point! What I mean is…you may not know it but you also contain a powerful Crystal. If we combine our Crystals-"

I don't know what came over me but I knew what she meant, I interlocked both of our hands and the would around us began to shine. It felt hot, I felt hot. But…this feeling was pleasant not unwelcome. I don't remember when I closed my eyes but when I opened them, Sailor Moon looked different.

Her uniform was similar but now it looked more…appropriate.

She still had her crescent moon insignia on her, now blue, choker; the tops of her classic red boots; and also had her transformation brooch in the center of her front bow. Although, now her brooch was more heart-like shaped.

Instead of a skirt she wore white tights that had little blue and red moons on them; her shirt now had glittering sleeves that were see through; and on top of her head she had a large crown—leaving her moon insignia exposed. I couldn't help but stare in awe at now it glowed a silvery white.

In the front of Sailor Moon's hair were now two wing-like barrettes. Her earrings were no longer dangling moons, but were simply crescent moons affixed to her ears.

I looked at our still interlocked hands, her gloves were now fingerless. The look did her justice…WOAH. I gasped as I saw that her—noticeably longer—hair was more of a dirty-blonde now, with a single streak of white.

"Lookin' good, Sagi," I chirped.

"Mikey," Usagi murmured as she looked me over.

I tilted my head before looking down to see…OHMIGOSH.

.

.

.

I had to avert my eyes from the sudden burst of fire that surrounded Mikey; but the yokai didn't seem frightened, he seemed pleased, which confused me, very mush so.

A seemingly innocent and oblivious Mikey grinned at me, "Lookin' good, Sagi!"

If I weren't in shock I would've blushed at the compliment, but I simply I gasped at what I saw when the fire died down, "Mikey…"

My reincarnation of a brother's original uniform—an orange turtleneck; a white waistcoat; a white (outlined gold) bow on the back of his shorts; his belt with mini suns on it; his white combat boots with gold rimming; his golden tiara that covered his insignia of the sun and moon; his white bandanna that was decorated with little suns on it—was altered slightly.

I nearly choked at what I saw…he looked less of a Sailor Senshi and more war-appropriate.

"Usagi," Mikey asked in a shaky voice as he too looked himself over.

The young knight now wore an a orange barbuta; a white turtleneck, on top he wore a hauberk-vest made of orange colored metal rings linked tightly together to protect his body; he wore orange flare-tights that faded into yellow, they seemed to look like as if they were on fire; he wore white fingerless gloves; he still had his belt that contained his weapon but said belt was now attached to a white, see through, duster-skirt that went to the floor; yet his boots were the same.

His hair was no longer Afro-like, it was straightened—plus, now all of his bangs were pink and the lavender faded into a white color at the end—and reached his lower back.

Mikey looked at me, eye to eye. Speaking of eyes, his left eye was a reddish brown while the right eye was pure lavender.

My eyes shook, "Otōto…" he looked just like Mitsuki!

Mikey gasped as he looked at me in confusion, "What…what did you just call me? I…"

"Such a powerful display of strength! However, you two are still no match for me," the skull rumbled.

"But we are," exclaimed Mamo-chan. Huh? MAMORU??!!!

I blushed when I saw Mamo-chan floating with Chibiusa. Looking closer I saw that Chibiusa held her own little pink rod.

The little girl gasped as he saw us, she happily smiled, "Sailor Moon! Sun Knight!"

Mikey gasped in return, "Chibiusa?! Tuxedo Mask?!"

"In the flesh," Mamo-chan chuckled as he looking into my eyes, "you alright?"

I felt like I couldn't move so Mikey answered for us both, "She's fine. She's just shocked to see her soulmate here," he teased.

Now THAT brought me back. "Hey!"

"Ahem! We've come here on behalf of Neo-Queen Serenity," Chibiusa explained.

"The Queen," me and Mikey yelped in unison.

"Yes, the Queen," Mamo-chan stated as he tried to break the bubble.

"I may be small," Chibiusa continued, "but I can help!"

The skull began to evilly laugh.

Mikey scoffed, "Dude, they were having a family reunion! Let us be for ONE moment!"

"I take orders from no one. I will be defeated by no one."

"What a big fat lie," Chibiusa scolded as she raised her hand, "I am the Pretty Guadian Trainee who fights for love and for justice," she twirled around in a similar way I do, "I am Sailor Chibi Moon! And now, in the name of the future moon, I'll punish you!"

"Pathetic little princess," the skull chuckled. I hissed. How DARE this DEAD MAN call her that?!

Mikey somehow understood my thoughts as he placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, he nodded to Mamo-chan who nearly had the bubble popped, Mikey made a 'shush' gesture. I nodded.

"Now," continued the skull with amusement, "the little princess is CHALLENGING me?"
