Raph sighed as he looked at the messages Tess sent him, the ones he sent Mikey, and all of the missed calls sent to Mikey, "He's right…he's safe. He's safe and with safe people. The Heroes will keep him safe, " Raph assured himself.

———————————————————————————————-

Mikey was in fact, in a tough situation with random girls who have powers, talking cats, and missing royals, all without The Heroes (Miles Tess Marie) by his side.

The ones who were by his side were the Inner Sailor Senshi, who were all in Usagi's room, when suddenly they all yelped as a loud ringtone was heard, Mikey looked down, "Ohmigosh! It's my bro's! What should I do?!"

Usagi's eyes widened, she grabbed Mikey's phone, "Don't answer!"

"What do you mean 'don't answer,' he needs to! His family is probably worried sick," exclaimed Ami as she too took Mikey's phone.

"O-Oh we're doing this, oka…okay," stuttered Mikey as Ami held his phone up high.

"Usagi's right," started Rei.

"I am? I mean, ofcourse I am," grinned Usagi as she took the phone and stuck her tongue at Ami.

Rei rolled her eyes, "It's too dangerous to involve family."

"Dangerous? This isn't the mafia," scoffed Minako as she grabbed the phone and handed it to Makoto who handed it to Mikey.

"You're right. It's worse," stated Makoto.

"Yeah, it's evil royals from an evil version of the moon," deadpanned Rei.

"Technically it's the work of an evil-" started Artemis.

"Shut up," Minako chirped as Artemis glared at her.

"R-Right, um- So…decline," Mikey asked slowly, everyone nodded, "Sorry Raphie," he said as he ignored the call and muted his phone, "I'm so dead, Raph, Pops- Ohmigosh Tess is probably so pissed too..."

"Who," asked Minako as she tilted her head.

Mikey turned his head to face her, "She's my friend! But she's…very protective…in her own way."

Minako narrowed her eyes, and she nodded slowly, "Isn't that a good thing?"

Usagi nodded her head in agreement and confusion, "Yeah, being protective is a good quality, isn't it?"

Mikey laughed, "Haha…no. Not with Tess. She goes overboard, not as bad as Raph, but more aggressive for sure," he sighed, "She's probably gonna beat me to death until I tell her why I left-"

"Relax, we all will be dead if we don't come up with a plan," assured Luna, everyone side-eyed her, "W-What? It's the truth!"

"There's no need to be so straightforward, Luna," mumbled Mikey as Usagi pouted, "No one is dying, not on my watch," she stated determinedly.

"Yeah," chirped an enthusiastic Minako, "As long as we have faith 'n hope, we'll be ok!"

"Yeah, all that friendship mumbo jumbo," agreed a grinning Makoto, Minako rolled her eyes and playfully pushed Makoto, causing the two to play-fight.

Usagi chuckled before suddenly yawning, she raised her hands above her head, "Y'all too much…" she mumbled.

"Says you," countered Makoto as she booped Usagi's nose when suddenly Ami tried to lay Usagi down, "Usagi-san, neta hō ga ī yo. Anata no enerugī ga hitsuyō ni narimasu," Ami stated.

Usagi groaned, "No! I don't wanna sleep," she cried, "'Am not tired!"

Ami sweetdropped, "Usagi…we can tell you're sleepy, and that's okay."

"Ami's right, Meatball Head," started Rei, "Sentō-chū ni ki o ushinau koto wa nidoto arimasen. You need rest."

"We have a LONG journey ahead," added Makoto.

"We all need some rest, to refuel," said Minako as she held Usagis' hand.

Usagi sighed, "FINE, Akiramemasu, nemasu."

"Good," mumbled Ami, "We'll be here, don't worry."

Usagi smiled as she laid down, "I know."

"Sleep well, Usagi-san," whispered Luna as Usagi fell asleep, "Like Makoto said, we have a long journey ahead…"

———————————————————————————————-

An hour later:

Mikey yawned as he went into the kitchen to grab a snack, the Inners had fallen asleep next to Usagi, so did Luna & Artemis.

He looked both ways to make sure no one was there, he looked at his phone suspiciously. Why? Because he got a worrisome text from Miles.

hey! it's me miles…i- no we KNOW KNOW so dont worry*

"Now how do you know about Senshi, hm," he mumbled thoughtfully.

He sighed as he placed his phone in his pocket, this whole ordeal was just too much.

Mikey just wanted to get away from family and hang out with The Heroes when he's suddenly needed by some future Senshi, Sailor Pluto, and she does some ritual on him that doesn't even work.

And everyone expects him to be normal about all of this, about him being recruited by the Senshi.

And then there's the 'Ōji-sama' situation. Mikey speaks Japanese, he knows it means Prince, he knew Mamo was hiding something from him, same with Usagi and Venus. And he was DYING to know what that something was.

"Mikey," asked a sleepy Minako.

Mikey flinched as he looked back at her, "O-Oh! Oh hi V! I was just, uh, getting a snack and got distracted…"

Minako scratched her belly, "Mhm. Kay-" she said as she walked past him to grab a whole bag of chips and started dragging Mikey back to Usagi's room.

"Huh? V-Venus?"

"You fainted too. You need rest," she simply said, "And you said you wanted a snack," she raised her hand that held the chips, "this is a snack."

"Oh…" Mikey smiled fondly, "all right, thanks."

———————————————————————————————-

2 hours later:

The Inners stood outside getting ready to leave, while Usagi and Mikey stood at the door.

Mikey was going to stay with Usagi until the battle was done and he could return home to America, it's already been a day, his family is probably way past suspicious now.

Makoto snapped to get the two's attention, "Yo, Mikey, make sure she gets to bed early, she needs a good night's sleep."

"Naps help, but real sleep is better," added Rei.

"I will," giggled Mikey as Usagi pouted.

"See you in the morning, Usagi, Mikey," said Ami.

"Bye," chirped Mikey as Usagi waved.

"Okay, bye girls! Have a good night," Usagi exclaimed.

"We will," yelled Minako as they started to walk away.

———————————————————————————————-

The Inners all walked together when Rei hummed as she looked at the sunset, "A blood-red sunset is a bad omen," she stated.

———————————————————————————————-

Usagi placed her hands in a prayer-like way, "Mamo…Chibi-Usa…wherever you are, please be safe!"

"Sa…huh," murmured Mikey as he looked behind him, "HUH?! WHAT IS THAT?!"

"Hm, what is what," asked Usagi as she turned, she gasped, "Pluto's Space-Time Key?!"

"What's it doin' here," asked Mikey as he reached to pick up the key when it glowed.

Usagi gasped and pulled Mikey behind her as the wind howled, the two were…it's hard to explain.

"What's going on?! Why is everything getting all warpy 'n twisted," yelped Mikey as the two floated.

"AH," Usagi suddenly yelled as she curled into herself.

Mikey instantly turned and looked at her concerned, "Sa…Usagi?"

"I…I feel like it's ripping my body apart," she groaned.

"Usagi…" Mikey mumbled worriedly as Usagi screamed in pain.

———————————————————————————————-

The Inners fell back when they felt sudden pain, not theirs, but their princesses'.

Makoto rubbed her head, "I…I think i-it's over. You all good," she asked.

"Yeah," started Ami, "we're fine…But what was that?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure it has something to do with Usagi, let's go," stated Makoto as she rushed to get up.

———————————————————————————————-

Usagi panted and gasped as she nearly fell if it weren't for Mikey helping her to her feet.

"What.Was.That," hissed Usagi as her eye twitched.

Mikey studied the key from afar, "That key…maybe it was Puu trying to warn us?"

"Warn us," repeated Usagi as she glared in confusion at the key.

"Mhm, maybe she needs us to come to the future," suggested Mikey.

"Maybe…" muttered Usagi as the Inners rushed back to the house.

"Usagi," yelped Ami.

"Usagi, Mikey! What happened," yelled a concerned Minako.

"Are you two okay," asked Luna as she and Artemis walked up to them.

"Luna," Mikey sighed relieved, "Something's wrong…I think Puu needs help."

"I agree, Ōji-sama! We need to get to the 30th century right away," stated Luna.

Usagi nodded, "Mhm, let's go!"

Mikey looked at her for a second before grinning, "Everybody ready?"

"Mhm," chirped everyone.

"Adventure part two, baby," he yelled, "Sun Prism Power, Make Up!"

Usagi grinned too, "Dang right! Moon Prism Power, Make Up," she yelled.

"Oh boy…" groaned Luna as Artemis chuckled.

"Mercury Star Power, Make Up!"

"Mars Star Power, Make Up!"

"Jupiter Star Power, Make Up!

"Venus Star Power, Make Up!"

———————————————————————————————-

The Inners Mikey panted as they hastily ran towards Pluto.

"Puu," yelled Mikey as he waved to get her attention.

"Ōji-sama," sighed a relieved Pluto, her smile grew larger at the sight of the Inners, "Sailor Moon, Inners!"

"Is Mikey right? Did something happen," asked Usagi, "We felt a shockwave all the way in the past!"

Pluto nodded, she turned to Mikey, "Clever boy. You're right."

"How bad is it," Mikey asked.

"Oh, it's awful! Take a look, " she said as she opened the door, revealing Crystal Tokyo.

Usagi gasped, "Oh no!"

"It can't be…" gasped Ami, as Mikey tilted his head.

"What are we looking at," he asked.

Usagi turned her head briefly to look at him, "It's a second Malefic Black Crystal."

"But…but the Earth was already destroyed, right? Why would the Black Moon attack it again," asked Makoto.

Usagi shrugged and gasped as Luna-P jumped down and into the Castle.

"Welp….looks like we're goin' inside," giggled Mikey as he summoned his mystic Kusari-fundo, he swung down.

"Mikey slow down," Usagi yelled as she ran after him, she tilted her head when Mikey suddenly stopped, he looked like he saw a ghost, "Mikey? What are you…"

There stood a grown up Evil Chibi-Usa, "She looks just like you…and Mamo…is she Chibi-Usa," Mikey asked as he turned his head to look at Usagi.

Usagi's eyes widened, "I…King Endymion-"

Endymion looked down, "Sailor Moon…"

"No! It can't be! Who are you, really," exclaimed Usagi.

Chibi-Usa giggled darkly, "You did always have a keen eye, Uncle," she chirped.

Mikey tilted his head, "Uncle?"

Chibi grinned as she turned to Usagi, "Did you miss me? You know what, it doesn't matter. Now give me the Silver Crystal," she exclaimed as she ran and grabbed Usagi's arm.

Mikey gasped, his eyes glowed a lavender color, "Don't touch her," he yelled as he wrapped his Kusari-fundo, it's flames brighter than before, around Chibi's waist and pulled her back, flying her through the wall and out of the castle, causing Neo-Queen Serenity to glow.

"Huh," asked Mikey as the crystal around the Queen followed Chibi-Usa, taking away her right to the throne.

"M-Mikey," yelped Usagi, not caring at all about the crystal, "Be careful! You could get hurt!"

"Oh please, she's the one who got blown away, not me," teased Mikey as he winked.

Usagi pouted, "I didn't miss this headache," she muttered.

Mikey suddenly got serious, "She's mad and hurt."

Endymion narrowed his eyes, "What did you do, Mit-…Mikey," he asked sternly.

"Calm down your majesty, I mean she's hurt mentally not physically."

"What," asked Usagi as she tilted her head to the side.

"Sailor Moon, King Endymion, we need to go after her," Mikey stated determinedly as he jumped out the window.

"MIKEY," yelped Usagi and Endymion as they rushed after him.

Mikey landed gracefully while the other two were nearly about to plummet into the ground if it weren't for Mikey's Kusari-fundo grabbing them and gently placing them down.

"Chibi-Usa," cried Usagi as the realization hit her.

"Told you," mumbled Mikey as Usagi glared at him.

"Not the time or place Mikey," she growled as Mikey held his hands up in a playful manner.

Mikey twisted around to face her, "Hello my 'niece'," he greeted sarcastically.

Chibi-Usa smiled softly, "Uncle…was that the best throw you could do," she teased.

Mikey blushed, "Oh shut up, you can't make fun of me! I'm not Leo," he yelped as he pointed at her, Usagi face palmed.

Endymion scowled as he turned to face his daughter, "Small Lady…"

"Daddy," greeted an innocent sounding Chibi when the Inners ran over.

Minako gasped, "Chibi-Usa? Is that really you?!"

Chibi-Usa chuckled maniacally, "Yes, my name was Chibi-Usa once upon a time. But not anymore. I've grown up. I'm not the little girl I used to be," she suddenly turned her head to the side, "Wiseman," she yelled, he appeared next to her.

Usagi gasped as Chibi giggled, "No," Usagi whimpered as she cried.

"Small Lady…" mumbled Endymion as his eyes, too, got watery.

Chibi grinned darkly, "My name is Black Lady, Queen of Darkness. Wiseman, Ruler of Darkness, chose me to be at his side. And now I am queen of the Dark Planet; The queen of Nemesis!"
