First of all I know that in chapter 13 I had said that this chapter was going to be Slice of Life but after thinking about it in detail I have decided to include these stories in revisions of all the previous chapters in which to adjust some details here and there that I noticed rereading them, along with a small adjustment to the general Lore that contradicts a future plan I have. More details in the following note

Diary of Kuri
August 6
Dear diary: Today while I was on my way to the Crown with Naru and Yumiko when we arrived we found that Motoki-san had hired a new employee, he is the most handsome boy I have ever seen just by looking at him I know that he is quite athletic he has a smile of how charming, beautiful brown eyes, and slightly disheveled black hair. Just seeing him steals my heart, unfortunately it is impossible for him to notice a girl so plump like me. I should start exercising but it's very difficult. I prefer to continue eating desserts and imagining imaginary scenarios where I go out with cute guys like that hunk from the other day.
August 7
Dear diary: Today the girls and I returned to the Crown while Naru told us a little about this new girl Usagi, I don't really know what she said. The truth is I was paying attention to the boy from the other day, talking about him. I already know his name. Riku Nakamura, Motoki told me his name when he saw how focused I was on him, Aaah even his name is cute. I should definitely exercise
August 8
IT CAN'T BE, today I went back to the Crown by myself, Riku was helping me with a couple of problems I had and then he invited me on a date tonight, he said that since he saw me enter the Crown that first day he felt a special spark, Right now I'm getting ready to go out, we're going to go to the Rain Tree restaurant because from what I heard it's a bit expensive. How does Riku plan to pay the bill? Well, it doesn't matter, it's exactly how I imagined my first date, it's a dream come true, I'll continue when I come back.
It was the best night of my life, the restaurant was more beautiful than I imagined. There were candles on each table, and the aroma of spices floated in the air, the food was exquisite, Riku was a gentleman, making everything seem like a dream. Sometimes I wondered if I was dreaming. How could someone as amazing as Riku notice me? I'm sure it was my insecurity talking. Well, it turns out that Riku has a friend who works at the restaurant and he had a bet with him, the day Riku brought a girl to eat there, his friend would pay for all the food, it seemed a little cruel to me, although he shouldn't have bet otherwise I was willing to lose, during dinner he talked to me about him, he told me that although it may not seem like it, he is not the most popular person of all, he told me that since he was little he has been fascinated by the stars which earned him a lot of ridicule, that together due to his weight, his social situation did not improve, so who started exercising and dieting to get in shape. While we were waiting for dessert, Riku pointed out a constellation to me out the window and started talking about it. I think he said her name was Andromeda or something like that, I honestly didn't fully understand what he meant, but it sounded so poetic...
At the end of the date Riku brought me home and before leaving he gave me a beautiful yellow rose, he gave it to me with a smile while saying "So you don't forget me", it's so romantic. The yellow rose has a sweet, honey-like aroma, and its petals are so soft they almost look like velvet. Every time I look at her, I feel a tickle in my chest. It's probably because Riku gave it to me. Although I'm starting to feel a strange... motivation to exercise, maybe it's because Riku inspires me so much. More like tomorrow I'll start my exercise routine, I'm sure I'll be able to do it now.

Tsukino Residence, 5:45
"AAAAHHHHHHH"Usagi screamed as she woke up suddenly, she was still afraid, she was in a cold sweat.
Nodoka ran in, Ranma/Usagi and Luna, her katana shining in the dim light of the room, thinking that a Youma of that Jadeite guy had come to her house to finish the job. He had not been able to sleep with the fear that his recently recovered daughter would die fighting evil or that this Rubio guy would comply with his threats and will also destroy his entire family or even Tokyo. Great was her relief when she saw Usagi perfectly fine, simply scared by a possible nightmare, putting away the katana and approaching her daughter to calm her down. "It's okay, daughter, mom is here," she said while hugging Usagi. "Tell me everything that happened," she said. a reassuring tone
Usagi, finally realizing her mother's presence, began to calm down in her embrace when she was much calmer. I can begin: "I had a horrible nightmare. I don't remember much of the details, but I remember that there were screams... the screams didn't stop. The fire consumed everything, but those o…eyes" Just by mentioning the eyes Usagi trembled again in fear.
Nodoka, upon seeing this reaction, strengthened her embrace as he hugged her, caressed her hair, and whispered in her ear, "Calm down, daughter, it was just a nightmare, you can't." does…"
"I saw it!" Usagi said once again full of fear. "When I was escaping from the Jadeite base, I saw him among the flames standing as if nothing had happened, waving." Usagi quickly recounted.
Nodoka swallowed as she felt a chill run down her spine. 'That figure, that greeting... Was it possible that Jadeite wasn't the worst threat they faced?' Nodoka thought as she asked, "Are you sure you saw it?" Seeing Usagi's nod, another shiver ran down her spine but she knew that her fear would not help protect her daughter. "Then there is only one thing left to do. Do you know what?" Nodoka asked when she saw Usagi's denial. 'If I want them to survive what is to come, if I want to protect Tokyo and my entire family.' So we have to' "Get stronger!" Nodoka responded with a determined tone.

Azabu Hikawa Temple, 6:30 AM
The alarm clock rang with its annoying *pipipipi, bringing Rei out of her deep sleep. "Ughhh," she groaned, grumpily remembering that she had to get up early to help at the temple. With the lack of personnel, all the work fell on her and her grandfather, and she couldn't leave him alone with so many tasks.
As he shuffled toward the bathroom, his eyelids drooped heavily over his eyes. He wasn't expecting to find anything out of the ordinary, so he almost tripped when he saw Ryouga already dressed in a Gonnegi uniform, sweeping the floor of the temple, a task that was his responsibility. "Ryouga *Yawn* Why are you *Yawn* doing my *Yawn* chores?" Rei asked, still tired, last night's battle had left her exhausted.
"Good morning to you too, Rei," Ryouga greeted calmly as he swept. "Your grandfather said that, if I am going to stay here, I must help at the temple. Plus, with how busy you'll be saving the world, it makes sense to spread the load. Today I will do everything. You look exhausted, so you can go back to sleep." He responded kindly
Rei tried to respond, but another yawn took over her. His brain registered only the words "go back to sleep," and without a second thought, he staggered back to his room. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.

Dojo Tsukino, 7:00
Neither Usagi nor Nodoka had been able to sleep again so they decided to start their training early. Right now mother and daughter face each other in a high-speed duel with bokkens.
The bokkens collided again and again in a dance of attacks and blocks. Mother and daughter moved at great speed, their cuts disappearing in the maelstrom of sparring. Although none of the blows were real, the intensity of the training demanded all of his focus and energy.
Finally, in a final exchange of blows, both fell to the ground, exhausted and breathing heavily.
"Very good, Usagi. I didn't expect you to be able to keep up with me at that speed," Nodoka said with a slight smile, her voice cracking with effort. "When we are well rested, I will teach you the special techniques of the Hino school."
Usagi nodded, still catching her breath.
"Now, how about we take a bath to get rid of the sweat and *yawn* "Shall we go back to bed?" Nodoka offered.
Without hesitation, although with a little difficulty, Usagi stood up and they both headed back to the Tsukino residence.

Moon's Subconscious
"Fire, screams and eyes. That's exactly how he described it. She seemed especially terrified of the latter," Luna said, her tone laden with concern. "It may be a memory of the fall," he continued. "But the eyes part… what do you think it means, Setsuna?"
Setsuna remained silent for a moment before answering. "To be honest… I don't know, Luna." Her tone showed a rarity about her: uncertainty. "I don't know why the princess would be so terrified of eyes. "For much of the fall I was with the Queen, helping in the evacuation."
Luna lowered her head slightly, thoughtfully.
"I recommend that you do a little more research on this dream," Setsuna continued. "When the princess is in a better mood, of course."
"Thank you for the help, Setsuna. I'll see what I can do," Luna said, saying goodbye as her consciousness returned to wakefulness.

Templo Azabu Hikawa, 2:30PM
Ami woke up peacefully after having slept quite well. Maybe at first it was difficult for her to assimilate the dream, but after falling asleep she had a smooth night's sleep. At first she was confused as she didn't see her father anywhere, until she saw the time on her alarm clock, then everything made sense. After taking a moment to evaluate what he was going to do, he decided to grab some clothes and go take a shower.
"Hello Rei, good morning" Ami greeted when she encountered the aforementioned "Were you going to take a bath too?"
"That's right," Rei replied. "Shall we bathe together?" I ask Ami
The question took Ami by surprise. It had been so long since he had bathed with someone else that it took him a second to remember how common he was. "Cla-sure" he stammered, feeling the heat rise to his face.

Tsukino Residence, 3:10PM
Ding dong* The doorbell of the Tsukino residence rang. Kenji went to open
"Hello Mr. Tsukino" Greeting Ami "We come for Usagi. Where is she?" Ami asked.
"She's still sleeping. She and her mother were training late last night," Kenji replied, returning inside. "Come in, come in, I'll show you in while I go check on her."
Going up to Usagi/Ranma's room he knocked on the door "Ranma, are you awake?" Kenji asked his Stepson/Stepdaughter. "Your friends came to see you" Notice from behind the door
15 Minutes Later
Ranma, now fully dressed and awake, went down to the living room where he found Rei and Ami waiting.
"Hello Ami, Hello Rei" Ranma greeted the two guests "What is the reason for your visit?"
"Well Ranma, Rei and I were thinking about going to the Crown, and we came to invite you" Ami replied "Are you joining?"
"Sounds good!" Ranma said with more encouragement. Going out with his friends would help him get rid of the nightmare that was still in his mind.

Arcade and Karaoke Crown we go, 6:00
The Crown was as lively as ever, full of laughter, sounds of buttons being pressed, and music coming from the karaoke booths. Ranma, Rei and Ami were enjoying their break. As the orange glow of the setting sun illuminates the main window
"Be careful with the giant laser," Ranma warned Ami, as he fired at the mothership.
"I already saw it, Ranma," Ami responded, dodging the attack. "Quickly, Ranma, get on the Slug."
Then the remaining aliens on the screen died and the mothership began to descend. and when he was about to fire the huge laser once again, a rebel plane entered the canon, exploding and then triggering a giant explosion. causing the huge ship to rise into space, leaving behind the smaller ship that was exploding. When it finishes exploding, it drops the General tied to a huge metal plate. When the soldiers are celebrating, the plate falls forward, scaring them. On the screen with a Mission All Over they count the results and the most important Continues is at 0.
"R-A-N" Ranma said while writing those letters "A-M-I" Followed by Ami who did the same.
Rei could only watch in shock as she had lost the bet as the two of them had completed Metal Slug 2 without losing a single life. (In this universe the entire saga came out a year earlier)
"Alright, Rei, pay," Ranma said in a mocking tone, while extending his hand.
Rei crossed her arms and sighed in frustration before pulling out her wallet. "Ugh, fine. But next time we play something where I have an advantage." I accept Rei bothers
"Excuse me, Motoki-Kun, haven't you seen Kuri-Chan?" Asked a voice familiar to Ranma and Ami.
"Naru?" They both asked in a low voice as they peeked slightly over the side of the cabin.
"I haven't seen her since yesterday," Naru explained, his voice shaking slightly. "She doesn't answer her phone, not even her parents have seen her all morning. This is not normal for her… I am very worried." Naru explained to Motoki.
"No, I haven't seen her Naru" Motoki replied "Although I haven't seen Riku all day either but now that you mention it, yesterday I saw him talking to your friend, I thought he was just advising her." commented
Ranma exchanged a look with Rei and Ami. Something about the way Naru talked about Kuri gave him a bad feeling. "Do you think the Dark Kingdom is involved?" he murmured softly.
"There is only one way to know" Ami responded quietly but determinedly "Naru, let's help look for your friend" She said now out loud.
"Oh really?" Naru asked, somewhat excited, no one had wanted to help her until now. "Kuri has short, black, curly hair. She is somewhat chubby, has brown eyes. Rather, here is a photo of her" She said, she gave him a photo where they were, a plump and short girl, and another tall and thin one.
"Very good Naru. "We will find her," Ranma said.
"Wait a minute… Were you guys eavesdropping on my conversation?" Naru asked but before he realized it, none of them were there.

Hikawa Temple, 6:25 PM
Junpei crossed his arms, thoughtful. "So, you're saying that this girl completely changed overnight after talking to a stranger?"
"That's how it is." Ami responded, "Do you have any clues, Junpei?" Now she asked
""The description fits a Dry Present…But that's strange… During the fall of the Silver Millennium, none of the Five Kings used this type of creature." Junpei explained.
Ranma crossed his arms. "So, is this something new?"
"Unfortunately yes. The existence of these youmas was known but the research regarding them was interrupted by the attack from the earth" Junpei explained "I have some data, but how to identify them is not complete."
Ami decided not to waste any more time. "Can you track Kuri?"
"If they have a biological sample or an image of it, yes. "I can set the scanner to search for her," Junpei replied.
Ranma took out the group photo that Naru had given them and placed it in front of the computer screen. MPC. "She's the chubby one."
"That is enough and more than enough." A blue light scanned the image, and within seconds, the hologram of the city map appeared in the air above the computer. A red dot flickered in a specific area. "Your friend is here."

Tokyo streets, 7:20PM
The sun had already set. The lights of the buildings and street lighting illuminated Tokyo. There in the middle of the night three figures illuminated by the moonlight jump from building to building.
"Well, according to the map she should be…" Sailor Mercury began to say while comparing the map on her visor with real life "There" She finished while pointing to a specific building.
"The Gym" Said Lunar Knight
"This is already the second sign to detect possession." Junpei highlighted "If the person suddenly changes their way of being and takes the time of their life to complete a goal as quickly as possible, without caring about the consequences on their body" He explained "And let me say but the photo was recent. "I don't think her friend would come to the gym directly and without telling anyone."
"Then what other sign is there to detect possession?" Sailor Mars asked.
"Well, in addition to those two signs, the third is if the obsession becomes the only thing important to the person. Then, is it possessed… or you need to talk seriously to a professional." Junpei explained.
"Haven't you already said that in the second one but with other words?" Mercury asked.
"I did it? Well I was simply reading the report, it was not me who wrote the data" Junpei responded.
"And is there a way to expose the Youma?" Lunar Knight asked.
"Just one" Junpei would respond.

Gym Your Best Self
"Come on, if you don't, Riku will never love you." Kuri said to herself as a strange aura roiled as she raised and lowered a pair of dumbbells.
"Little one, you've been here since morning and you haven't eaten anything. Shouldn't you stop?" One of the personal trainers asked when he saw her. Worried about the girl's health
Kuri raised and lowered the heavy dumbbells with uncoordinated movements. His muscles trembled with effort, but his expression showed no fatigue, just a vacant look. "Come on, if you don't, Riku will never love you..." he muttered again.
"Little girl, seriously, you've been here all day. If you keep this up, you might collapse. "You should—" The coach was talking when a light but thick fog suddenly appeared around Kuri and the coach.
"Exploiting a girl's desires and ideals is the most disgraceful" Said a rude female voice.
"Take her away from her family, only seeking to steal her energy" A gentler female voice continued.
"Without a doubt you are a spawn from hell itself." A male voice ended the speech.
"Therefore in the Name of…" the three said at the same time
"Mars," said the Ruda voice, coming out of the fog, revealing itself to be Sailor Mars.
"Mercury," the Gentle voice continued, emerging from the fog, revealing itself to be Sailor Mercury.
"The Moon" The Male Voice finished, emerging from the fog revealing himself to be Lunar Knight.
"We will punish you" The three ended the speech together posing
Upon seeing the newcomers, Coach ran away in fear. He had heard many things from the group that had now entered his gym, none of them good.
For her part, when Kuri looked at them, a strange aura took over her completely. It was at that moment that Riku appeared next to her. Kuri looked at him with hope and love, but he just screamed:
"Andromeda arises!"
The aura around him became dense and dark. A chill ran through her, freezing him to the core.
"AAAHHHHHHH—!" His scream was lost in the gathering fog around him. The yellow rose tied to her hair fell away, floating in the air as if an invisible force was pulling it. will guide. His entire body trembled, feeling a sharp pain erupt in his chest. "N-no...!" he managed to stammer before his vision faded. came back blurry and her legs they would give in, letting her fall without strength.
Then, the rose merged with the dark aura that enveloped her body, which expanded, drawing the constellation of Andromeda in the air. Each star in the formation, illuminated before joining with white energy lines. The figure grew, its hunched silhouette emerging from the gloom.
His monstrously large and muscular left arm hit the ground, supporting the creature's weight next to his legs, while the other smaller, tense arm dangled at his side. His broad, nebula-covered back seemed to pulse with dark energy, and an all-black tattered toga barely covered his feminine-looking body.
His face, although vaguely humanoid, was disfigured by a protruding jaw and huge jagged teeth. Two reddish eyes burned like embers, and short dark hair crowned his monstrosity.
"ANDROMEDA..." the starbeast growled, its voice reverberating with a menacing echo.
Sailor Mars took a step back instinctively, her body reacting before his mind could process what he saw. "What the devil...?" he whispered with a mix of disbelief and revulsion.
Sailor Mercury brought a hand to her visor, quickly activating her scanner. His pulse quickened as he saw the Youma's energy levels, unstable numbers that fluctuated with an abnormal intensity. "This is no ordinary Youma... its structure is unstable, but its power..." He swallowed before completing the sentence. "It's huge."
Lunar Knight kept his eyes on the creature. Andromeda's grotesque form, her hunched posture, and the way her muscles seemed to tense with each breath reminded him of a predator ready to pounce on its prey. His hand clenched into a fist, ready for a fight. "Kuri..." he murmured, his voice heavy with regret.
"Now Andromeda, finish off the Sailor Senshis," Riku ordered coldly, without even looking at her.
"¡DROMEDA!" roared the enormous Youma, raising her enormous arm and balancing it with a brutal force, seeking to sweep them away with a single blow.
The three reacted instantly, jumping back before the impact reached them. The ground they were standing on split with a deafening crash, sending shards of concrete flying in all directions.
"He moves like a raging bull!" Sailor Mars shouted, rolling on the ground to stabilize herself.
"And he has the strength to match it..." Lunar Knight added, looking at the crack in the ground where the blow had landed.
Suddenly, a deafening crack cut through the air.
"Careful!" Mercury shouted, warning his companions.
Andromeda had ripped a Pulley Machine from the ground as if it weighed nothing and launched it with enormous force. The heavy object sailed through the air, spinning on itself before hitting the stained glass window of the entrance. The glass exploded into thousands of sharp shards, scattering across the floor with a sharp, metallic sound.
The three managed to dodge the attack, but the show of strength made them shudder.
"Junpei, how do we beat this thing?!" Sailor Mars shouted, her voice filled with a mix of fear, anger, determination, and hope as she activated her communicator.
Junpei's voice echoed through his device. "According to the report, Possessive Youma require a binding object to possess their victim."
"A binding object?" Lunar Knight repeated, frowning.
"It is an object in which all the energy of the Youma converges. It acts as its core and keeps it anchored to its host." Junpei explained. "If they destroy it, in theory, the Youma would lose its dominance over the victim."
Sailor Mercury felt a chill run down her spine. "In theory?"
"I'm theorizing," Junpei replied. "The report has no data on how to dispossess someone. This is uncharted territory."
A new roar shook the gym. Andromeda flexes her enormous arm, preparing for another attack.
"Binding object...binding object..." Mercury muttered, activating his visor and scanning the Youma's body, looking for something that would fit with Junpei's description.
"Andromeda, focus on Sailor Mercury! Finish her off!" Riku ordered, his voice thick with impatience.
"¡MEDAAAA!" Andromeda roared, ripping an Olympic press from the ground and throwing it with a huge force directly towards Mercury.
Time seemed to slow down. Sailor Mercury saw the enormous machine spinning in the air, approaching too fast to dodge it.
"Lunar Hat Action!" A silver flash passed in front of his eyes. Lunar Knight suddenly appeared between her and the machine, throwing his hat in a vertical slash. The press broke in half in the air, the two pieces impacting the ground at their sides without damaging it.
Mercury released the breath he didn't know he was holding.
"Hey, gorilla, is that the best you've got? Even my grandpa is stronger than you." Mars' mocking voice echoed in the gym. Andromeda turned her enormous head, her red eyes flashing with fury as she took in the provocation.
"We will distract her, keep scanning her for the binding object!" Lunar Knight said, while making sure Mercury was okay.
Sailor Mercury nodded, with adrenaline running through the body due to the close encounter with death.
"¡GO!Andromeda shouted repeatedly as she tried to crush Mars with her fist.
"Hey brick woman, don't forget about me," Lunar Knight said in a mocking tone, jumping straight into the fight.
"¡¿AN?!"Andromeda growled with intrigue, turning to look in the direction where the voice came from so as not to find anyone there, as Lunar Knight was already below her.
"Lunar…" he began to say while charging his right fist with magical energy "PUNCH!" He shouted as he slammed it into the creature's abdomen.
"¡DAAAAA!" The creature screamed as it was thrown violently against the nearest wall, destroying it with a deafening roar.
From the other end of the gym, Riku watched the scene with disdain. "Ugh, stupid Youma, I told you to attack Sailor Mercury."
"I have it!" Mercury exclaimed, his eyes shining as he finished his scan. "His binding object is... The yellow rose on his forehead!"
Lunar Knight was already on the move before he finished speaking. "On it." He ran at full speed towards the downed Youma, pulling the Moon Scepter out of his sub-space pocket.
Andromeda gasped desperately. "Me... Me..." she stammered, exhausted and unable to get up. With her right arm still functional, she began throwing random objects at Lunar Knight, trying to slow his advance.
But it was too late.
Lunar Knight, with the Lunar Blade already formed, dodged and slashed every projectile that Andromeda threw at him. With one last push, he leaped and descended directly onto the creature's forehead.
"Akuryou Taisan." The shining edge of the Lunar Blade made a precise cut, splitting the yellow rose in two. With an agile movement, Lunar Knight jumped back before hitting the ground.
"¡DAAAAAAHHHHHG!" Andromeda's scream was an echo of agony. Her body began to crumble rapidly, losing thickness and shape until it became a mass of dark aura that floated above Kuri, fighting to maintain its existence.
"Lunar Knight, use Moon Healing Escalation," Junpei urged from the MPC.
Lunar Knight took a deep breath, feeling the exhaustion building up in his body. "I don't know if it works here in this form, but it's alright."
Transforming the Lunar Blade back into the Moon Scepter and pointing it at Kuri, Lunar Knight began to recite the spell. "Moon Healing..." He drew a golden circle in the air with the scepter, while a silver light surrounded him. "Escalation!" The image of the crescent moon appeared over Kuri, covering her in a brilliant glow.
"Refresh!" Kuri shouted as the darkness dissipated completely, leaving her free. Her body staggered, about to collapse on the rubble, but Lunar Knight caught her at the last second.
Exhaustion hit Lunar Knight like a wave. Sailor Mercury rushed to his side to help him.
"Don't worry, your exhaustion is normal," Junpei explained, anticipating his partner's confusion. "Your Lunar Knight form is more focused on physical combat than magical combat. Your magical energy reserves are low."
Lunar Knight breathed heavily as he nodded.
"Escalation is a powerful spell," Junpei continued. "This time there was no other option, but next time it is recommended that you use your Sailor Moon form to avoid extreme exhaustion."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the gym, Sailor Mars had already set her sights on the real culprit of all this. "Fire Soul!" A huge fireball sailed through the air with lethal precision, hitting Riku squarely... But something was wrong.
The fire passed through his body without any resistance. "Hahaha, did you really think I would come in person?" Riku's voice sounded mocking as his silhouette began to distort, turning into a dark shadow. "This is barely a shadow of my power..." Her form began to slowly fade into blackness. "We will meet again, Sailor Senshis... We will meet again." And with those words, she disappeared into the darkness.
""Agh..." Sailor Mars growled in frustration as she saw that her Fire Soul It had hit a gym wall. Then he realized that a fire had started in the place. "Scrap, water, I need water" He said urgently, running to find something to put out the flames.

?
Nephrite observed the stars from his artificial observatory, a space where the night sky was reflected with absolute clarity. He felt satisfied. The stars had aligned in his favor, and as always, they revealed everything he needed to know.
Then, he felt his shadow return to him. Upon receiving the images and sensations of what happened in the gym, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
• ───━───━━━━─ ● ───━─━━━━─── •
Streets of Tokyo, 7:50 PM
Sailor Mercury quickly put out the fire with a Shabon Spray, leaving the wall covered in foam. With the danger controlled, the three left the gym, whose rubble was witness to the battle. Police sirens could be heard in the distance, approaching quickly.
Lunar Knight, feeling the exhaustion in every fiber of his body, left Kuri on a bench where he knew the police would find her safe. "*Yawn* Let's go home."
He barely took a step when his danger instinct kicked in. Without thinking, he moved to the side just in time to dodge a beam of golden light that hit exactly where he had been standing.
The three of them immediately turned towards the direction of the attack.
On top of a nearby building, a female figure stood trimmed against the night
a woman with long blond hair, tied with a red bow, watched them intensely. He wore a red mask over his eyes and a crescent moon on his forehead. Her outfit consisted of a white and red blouse that exposed her navel, a metallic bib, a blue skirt with red details at the bottom, and white gloves with orange sleeves.
She held her arm outstretched, with her index finger still pointed at them, making it clear that she had been responsible for the shot.
Upon noticing that she was discovered, she turned around and escaped nimbly between the buildings.
Seeing her leave Lunar Knight decided to do the same, and would take care of that problem at another time, right now there was no time to waste. A second of absolute silence passed before two voices broke it in unison:
"SAILOR V?!" Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars exclaimed in surprise, but they didn't have time to process it. The police sirens were too close. Following Lunar Knight's example, they disappeared into the night.

Author Notes
Hello everyone First: Merry Christmas, New Year and any other holiday you celebrate in your culture/religion between December and January, I hope you had a good time in your own way with your family or not. Also Happy Valentine's Day in advance
Second: As I had said in the note above, I am going to review all the previous chapters, some will undergo minor changes in some things that I feel can be improved, and other major changes where one or another subplot will be added to lengthen the chapters a bit. I also plan to merge chapters 1 and 2 because I feel that it currently hinders reading, and it gets a little boring to wait so long for the first fight. Along with this change, another chapter will be added prior to chapter 13 where Rei's relationship develops. and Ryouga a little more thoroughly. These changes will come interspersed with new chapters. Because they are based on already existing chapters, they would be easier to finish.
Third: I am currently working on adapting this Fanfic into a fangame: Lunar Knight RPG. Together with a very good friend of mine at RPG Maker MV, we'll see how this project progresses.
Fourth: This is the last chapter I write before entering university. I don't know how that is going to alter the writing and publication of chapters, I hope to be able to continue writing this story, and as the last Cliffhanger I leave you this Omake, that unlike the rest, this will be canon, take it as a Post-credits scene.
Until next time readers and followers, remember to follow, like, or whatever is done on the platform where you are reading this. Comment/Review. MasterZonic says goodbye, wishing you good luck and good health.

Omake: 100ml from Japan
The sea mist and the darkness of the night made it difficult to distinguish details, but two figures stood they profiled on the deck. One, smaller, was leaning on a long cane. The other, tall and voluptuous, had long hair that floated lightly in the ocean breeze.
"只要詢 {I just asked the crew and we will arrive in Japan in the morning}達日本." The figure on the staff said.
The taller one nodded in understanding.
