Chapter 3

	Sailor Moon looked up towards the sky and examined the massive 
floating sphere.  She turned and addressed the green haired woman. 

	"You called that thing the Eye of God, Setsuna," Usagi 
confusedly stated, "How did you know what it was? From your story you 
weren't even switched on, until you were brought to our world. "

	Setsuna looked startled when she heard Usagi's question.  She 
pondered on how she knew what that device was.  Trying to remember, 
Setsuna received several disjointed images, but nothing made sense. 

	Setsuna slowly stated, "I'm sorry, Usagi; but I have no idea on 
how I know what that device is.  The name and what it does just came to 
me when I saw it.   When I try to recall where I heard it before, all I 
get is a bunch of jumbled images. "

	"What sort of images? Maybe, if you told us they would make 
sense," Ami asked

	"I can't tell you.  It's like a television picture that someone 
has turned the vertical hold completely off," Setsuna explained and 
seeing the confused faces, continued, "I am a robot, after all.  It 
would stand to reason, my visual memories are like television pictures."

	Ami looked at Setsuna strangely before replying, "I didn't realize 
that.  Setsuna, I've been meaning to ask a few questions ever since I 
found out about this. "

	*I'm going to be forced to answer anyway if Usagi asks, so I 
might as well answer them now. *, Setsuna thought before she replied, 
"Ask away, Ami. "

	"Why do you transform? From the readings I got, you wouldn't even 
need the Senshi power," asked Sailor Mercury

	"It conserves power.  My transformation into civilian guise 
reroutes some of my circuits.  It allows me to work for a much longer 
time without the need for being rewound.  I could use my abilities in 
non-Senshi form, but it would be incredibly draining on me," Sailor 
Pluto replied. 

	"Since you're a machine, how did you get a starseed? "

	"Uh.  I.  I am unable to remember.  I used to know, but I have 
forgotten," Setsuna stated, confusion evident in her 
voice, "I just know I have one and that it's linked to my mainspring.  I 
think that is one of the enhancements Selene made to me. "

	Makoto blurted out, "Selene? Just who is Selene?"

	Usagi decided to give her friend a break from the questions and 
repeated the story that Setsuna told her.  After hearing the story, the 
three girls looked at Setsuna with pity, finally realizing that Setsuna 
has never been free in her entire life.   An awkward silence fell over 
the group.  Usagi realized something and addressed Setsuna. 

	"Setsuna, you told us that your civilian form conserves power.  I 
think it might be wise if you switched to non-Senshi form," Usagi 
stated. 

	Nodding at that, Setsuna reversed her transformation.  Usagi also 
reversed her transformation, because she didn't want Setsuna to feel 
like an outsider.  Realizing why Usagi changed back, the other three 
girls also switched to civilian guise.  Setsuna felt a warmth coming 
from her clockwork heart as she realized how much her friends were 
trying to comfort her.  The five girls looked around at the forest, and 
Usagi spoke up. 

	"Well which way do we go Setsuna?" Usagi asked, "I hope we can 
find some way to free you here. "

	"I'm not sure Usagi.  Remember, I wasn't activated until I was 
brought to our universe.  I was built here but I really don't know that 
much about it," Setsuna replied.

	Ami piped up, "Let's go see who's living under that Eye of God 
thing.  Surely, they must have the technology to do what we want. "

	Haruka muttered under her breath, so the others couldn't hear, 
"Even if they do, how are we supposed to get them to do as we ask?"

	The girls started walking into the forest.  A few minutes after 
they had left a flying ship sailed over the clearing that they had 
vacated, nor the purple form that had seen them appear.  The form 
vanished as soon as it saw the ship fly overhead. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
	In the kingdom of Roshtaria, Princess Rune Venus stared out the 
window forlornly.  She thought about how close she had come to marrying 
one of the Phantom Tribe and shuddered.   Looking up at the Eye of God, 
she recalled the day when the last Demon God was banished from El 
Hazard.  She knew that she should feel happy that the Destroyer was 
gone, but she didn't. 

	*Makoto, I wish you luck on finding a way to be rejoining with 
Ifurita. *,  Rune Venus thought, *If  nothing else you deserve some 
happiness for saving El Hazard from total destruction*

	Rune looked down towards the courtyard, where she saw her sister 
and Alielle have a quiet conversation.  She didn't like the changes that 
had developed due to Fatora's kidnapping.   Makoto had suggested that 
Fatora needed to tell what happened to her, to someone she respected, 
before she could recover.   Rune at first didn't want to hear what 
happened to her little sister, but she gave in.   After telling Rune 
what had happened, Fatora started to act more like her old self.  Rune 
smiled wistfully, until she heard a guard come into the room.  She 
turned from the window and faced the guard. 

	"Greetings.  What is your report, Londs?', Rune asked

	Londs looked nervous, as he spoke, "While we were coming back from 
a routine surveillance mission, we spotted this silver ball of light out 
in the forest.  By the time we go to the place where the ball appeared, 
it had vanished.  We scanned the ground where it had appeared and found 
five sets of footprints leading off into the forest. "

	"Bugrom?"

	"No, princess.  The footprints were human.  The weird thing about 
them is that they start from nowhere and then move into the forest.  I 
think that we might have some more visitors from that Earth place,"
Londs 
stated. 

	"Londs, I want you to take a group of guards and find our new 
guests.  If they are from Earth, they are probably confused.  I think 
that you'd better take along Nanami, just in case their are still any of 
the Phantom tribe left," Rune Venus said

	"Understood, Highness,"  Londs replied, "Are you going to tell 
Makoto of this?"

	Rune Venus pondered the question for a moment, before stating, "I 
think I'd better.  This might give him a clue on how to be reunited with 
his love. "

	Londs bowed and left while thinking to himself, *Why Makoto thinks 
that that thing is a living being I'll never know.  I'm just glad that 
there are no more Demon Gods left on this world*

	Rune Venus watched Londs go, guessing as to what he thought about 
Ifurita.  Rune sighed and shook her head.  She needed to tell Makoto 
that new visitors from Earth might have arrived. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
	In a secluded corridor of the Crystal Palace in Crystal Tokyo, 
King Endymion sat brooding with his head down.  After a couple of 
minutes, he felt the presence of  two others.  Endymion raised his head 
so his eyes were looking at the forms of Sailor Venus and Sailor Mars.  
Mars frowned deeply as she looked at him. 

	"Okay, Tuxedo Mask start talking," Rei demanded, "We want to know 
the real reason why you didn't go with Usagi, and don't give us that bit 
about being here for Chibi-usa. "

	Venus, agreeing, added, "Yes, please tell us why and maybe we can 
help. "

	Looking into the two Senshi's eyes, he sighed,  nodded, and said, 
"The reason I didn't go with Usako, wasn't because of Chibi-usa; it was 
because of Setsuna. "

	Both girls blurted out, "Huh?"

	"A while back, Chibi-usa told me that 'Puu' was in love with me 
and asked why I didn't marry her instead of 'mommy'," Mamoru said 
sadly, he sighed and continued, "At first I didn't believe her, but 
there was evidence pointing in that direction, and then I had a dream 
last night that confirmed it. "

	"A dream? What sort of dream?" Rei asked

	"It is a memory of one of my days during the Silver Millennium," 
Mamoru said and then started describing the memory. 

                          <flashback>
	An eight year old Endyimion was walking down a corridor in the 
Moon Palace.  He looks confused as he hears sounds that are unfamiliar 
to him, that later in his Earth form he would be able to identify as 
factory sounds.  He followed the sounds into a deserted part of the 
palace.  In the area he saw a door with flashes of blue-white light 
coming from beneath the frame.  Curious, he shuffled up to the door and 
opened it cautiously.   What he saw in that room shocked him.   Standing 
immobile in the room was Sailor Pluto wearing her Senshi uniform, 
without the customary skirt attached.  Also in the room was an elegant 
woman, sewing on a piece of black cloth. 

	The woman was wearing a white, short, Greek style toga.  Her  
waist-length hair was done up in a single braid.  Looking like a golden 
necklace, the braid came down over the right shoulder and then was flung 
over the left.   Sensing someone else in the room, the woman looked up 
revealing her gray eyes and a silver crescent moon(points towards the 
left) on her forehead.  She sees the young boy, smiles and picks up the 
Garnet Orb staff.  She then starts speaking. 

	"Hello, Endymion.  I've been expecting you," the woman stated, "My 
name is Selene. "

	"Se-Se-Selene? I thought you were dead," Endymion stuttered. 

	"No.  Not dead," Selene replied, "At least not yet. " and then 
thought to herself, *I wish death is what is in store for me. *

	"Uh, yeah," Endymion stammered, "W-why is Sailor Pluto just 
standing there? Why do you have her staff?"

	"Endymion, Sailor Pluto is not human.  Using techniques I learned 
from my uncle Hephaetus, I constructed Sailor Pluto.  The reason I have 
her staff is because I need to wind her up.  Now if you will pardon me 
for a second, I think I had better get her started. "

	Ignoring Endymion, Selene picked up the staff and inserted into 
the hole at the small of Sailor Pluto's back and started winding.  
Endymion was startled when the ball lightning played over Selene without 
harming her.  After a minute, Selene stopped winding and removed the 
staff.  Pluto's eyes opened and she looked at Selene. 

	Sailor Pluto spoke, "What is your command, master?"

	"Nothing for right now, Pluto," Selene responded, "I was just 
finished making another modification and maintenance check.  Go back to 
standby mode, until I call you. "

	"Affirmative," Sailor Pluto said in a monotone voice. 

	Dazed, Endymion asked, "Sailor Pluto is a golem? Why?"

	Smiling sadly, Selene answered, "Well not exactly a golem, 
but close enough.  As for 'why', I have my reasons.  Didn't it seem odd 
to you, that old Atlas would give up the keys to the time corridor to a 
perfect stranger? This is why.  Pluto is a mechanical; you give her an 
order and she will carry it out, with no thoughts of betrayal. "

	"Sailor Pluto.  Doesn't she have a name besides that?" the young 
boy asked. 

	"Well no, not yet.  She is part of a project that I call 
Project:Sustain.  I haven't had time to give her a proper name yet.  
I've been so busy preparing for something, it kind of slipped my mind. "

	"From what I've seen of her, you shouldn't be treating her like a 
toy?" Endymion yelled, "And, what is with Project:Setsain. . . Sustan. . 
. Setsuna."

	Selene interrupted, "That last one will be her name.  Thank you, 
Endymion.  You have done as I foresaw and now I must make further 
preparations."

	Walking over to Endymion, Selene's eyes and symbol stared glowing. 
The young boy's eyes started falling.  Selene placed a finger to 
Endymion's forehead and started talking. 

	"I'm sorry for this, but I can not allow you to remember this 
conversation until it is time, young prince.  When Setsuna finally gains 
her emotions, she will be in love with you since you are the first 
person besides myself that sees that she is more than a machine.   I had 
to pretend to act like the others, so you would fulfill your job as the 
person who named her.  That will be another reason why she will be in 
love with you.  You are the one who gave her a name,"  Selene said 
swallowed a lump in her throat and continued, "Hurry on to your destiny, 
young prince as I head on towards my doom. "

	A bright silvery-gray flash of light erupted from the symbol 
on Selene's forehead and blanketed the room with a blinding light. 
                          <end flashback>

	Mamoru finished up his story, "That is what my dream revealed to 
me what happened so very long ago.  The reason I didn't go along was 
because I didn't want to hurt Setsuna.  I read somewhere, that one of 
the worst things for a person to see is the person that you love happy 
in the arms of another.  I have the feeling that one of reasons we don't 
see Setsuna around the palace much is because it pains her to see Usagi 
and me happy together. "

	Awed by the story, Minako asked, "She's never interfered in your 
two's relationship.  So, why are you worried about it?"

	The king sighed and continued, "Minako, Setsuna doesn't interfere 
because she realizes that Usagi and I belong together.  She does have 
access to the time corridor remember," Mamoru explained.  "Minako, what 
did you feel, at the end of your Sailor V days, when you saw that person 
you had a crush on in the arms of another woman? Apply what you felt, to 
Setsuna and stretch the feeling out over a couple thousand years.  I 
know what I felt when I thought I might lose Usagi. "

	Minako remained silent as she remembered her old partner.  There 
was a silence from Rei as she remembered what it felt like losing Mamoru 
to Usagi.  The two Senshi looked at each other and realized that the
reason Mamoru didn't go was to spare Setsuna any unnecessary pain. 

	Realizing something, Rei asked, Who is Selene?"

	Mamoru smirked, told them what Usagi had found out and then 
continued,  "Other than that,  I really don't know.  Our old identities 
knew, but our memories from that time are fuzzy. "  

                             Chapter
4                                                                         

	On El-Hazard, the Senshi were walking through the forest.  As they 
were walking, Ami was thinking about why Setsuna was able to recognize 
something she never saw before.  Suddenly, her head jerked up as she 
thought of something.  Ami then started having a discussion with 
Setsuna; the other girls looked on with interest. 

	"Setsuna, I think I figured out why you were able to recognize 
that object in the sky," Ami said

	"How is that, Ami?" Setsuna inquired. 

	Swallowing heavily, Ami answered, "You said it yourself.  You have 
a computer for a brain.  My guess is that your creator put the plans for 
that device into you.  I am unable to figure out the reason why though."

	"That's wild Ami," Usagi interjected, "If so why can't she tell 
us more about the Eye of God.  I would like to know more about it. "

	Setsuna looked towards the skyline and thought long and hard on 
Ami's theory.  While thinking,  she snapped to attention and the irises 
of her eyes contracted until they were small pinpricks.   The other 
girls got nervous when they saw  that.  Inside Setsuna's mind the 
consciousness of the eldest Senshi was stunned as another part of her 
mind started talking. 

	+Accesss acknowledged+,  a voice sounding like Setsuna's with a 
metallic tinge stated, +Plans for Eye of God  now being accessed+

	Setsuna's mind was assaulted with schematics, equations, and other 
information.  She quickly recovered and then started looking around.  In 
her sub mind, she saw a multitude of files.   As she looked at them, she 
realized that the files were under time locks or password files.  She 
was about to try and open one when her obedience circuit kicked in.  
Setsuna regained consciousness and saw the worried looks on the faces of 
her friends. 

	"Setsuna, answer me.  Are you all right? Please, wake up?" Usagi 
cried

	"I am fine Usagi," Setsuna replied, "I'm sorry that I scared you 
like that. "

	Usagi, still very concerned, asked, "What happened? All of a 
sudden you got stiff and y-y-your eyes became a solid purple. "

	"It's very simple Usagi.  Ami is correct that I have files inside 
of me that I haven't opened.  All that happened was that one of the 
files opened up when I was thinking about it.   Apparently when you 
stated that you wanted more information on the Eye of God,  my sub-
conscious took it as an order and opened the file.  It looks like I'm 
going to have to get used to that.  There are a lot more files inside of 
me and I'm not sure what they are. "
------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Back in Roshtaria, Princess Rune Venus walked to a Schtalubaugh's 
workshop inside the palace.   She went into the room and studied the 
person who was working.  The young man, who so looked like his sister, 
had a serious expression on his face and it looked like he hadn't slept 
for a couple of days.  Rune made an a-hemming  sound to get Makoto's 
attention.  Makoto looked up and saw the princess.  

	"Makoto," Rune began, "I though I told you, you would not be able 
to think properly if you don't get any sleep. "

	"I'm sorry, but I feel that I'm about to finally figure out how 
the Eye works. "

	Shaking her head,  Princess Rune said, "You won't be in any shape 
to find Ifurita if you push yourself to hard, but that's not the reason 
I came. "

	"Huh? What do you mean?" Makoto asked

	Rune said, "One of our patrols saw a disturbance in the forest.  
When they got to where the disturbance was, they found footprints in the 
ground going off into the forest but originated from nowhere.  We 
believe that we might have some more visitors from Earth. "

	"More visitors.  Maybe Ifurita is one of them.  Let's go and find 
them.  I'll be right with you as soon as I get Ura," Makoto said as he 
went out the door. 

	*Still obsessed with Ifurita I see*, Rune thought to herself as 
she followed him, *It would be doubtful that she has returned.  I had 
better alert the priestesses also.  We might need their help to protect 
our visitors from the Bugrom. *

------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Out somewhere in a forest glen, a young man was talking with a 
woman who had antenna.  Around the two of them were large vaguely 
humanoid bugs. 

	"Mr.  Jinnai even though we survived we do not have the numbers 
anymore to conquer El Hazard," said the dark skinned woman. 

	"Don't worry about that Queen Diva," Jinnai said, "It is my 
destiny to rule El-Hazard.  I will find a way to defeat Makoto. "

	Jinnai then started one of his patented one minute insane laughs.  
After he was finished, one of the bugs, purple in color, came up to 
him,.  The bug made clacking noises, which thanks to Jinnai's talent he 
was able to understand perfectly. 

	"What's that Groucho? There are new people from Earth here and one 
of them isn't human?"

	Groucho made more clicking noises

	"One of them not human and was built here in El-Hazard," Jinnai 
repeated and then clenched his fist in the air, "You know what this 
means? There is a new Demon God here in El-Hazard and as soon as I gain 
control of her, I will conquer this world and defeat Makoto.   
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

	After he stopped laughing, Jinnai  asked, "Queen Diva do we still 
have any small flyer Bugrom left?"

	Diva said, "Yes we do.  What do you what him to do?"

	"I want the flyer to keep an eye on this new Demon God and as soon 
as there is a chance, I'm going to steal her Power Key Staff, and this 
time I won't let Makoto beat me.  I'll have her kill him from a 
distance," Jinnai said and then shouted, " MAKOTO, ENJOY WHAT LITTLE 
TIME YOU HAVE LEFT.  I WILL DEFEAT YOU THIS TIME!!!!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------
	The Sailor Senshi were walking through the forest when a slight 
shudder wracked Setsuna.  Usagi looked at her friend in concern. 

	"Setsuna, are you all right?" Usagi asked

	Setsuna replied, "I'm okay, Usagi-chan.  I just had the uneasy 
feeling that someone was planning something horrible for me. "
