Sorry to those who like reading my Sailor Moon continuation, and had to wait
for a while while to get this next part. Your letters helped me get past an
attack of the dreaded writer's block.
Before reading Episode 206, it is advisable to read the beginning of this
fanfiction series. If you haven't read it, or have forgotten what's going on
in the story, please visit my website.

trying to decide on another season of Sailor Moon own all of the characters

another. Remember, legal fees are greater than the amount of cash you will be
able to muster from me.
This episode is unofficially dedicated to the memory of Shiho Niiyama, Seiya
Kou's/Sailor Star Fighter's voice actress, who recently passed away.
******************
Usagi's voice: Shin-Sailor Moon, thank you for everything you've done for us.
But, this letter about the Golden Millenium is so confusing. Princess Diana
couldn't be their daughter! Who are those eight shadows, and has the enemy
pinpointed where the Epoch Shard is? If they have, in the name of the moon, I
will punish them!
[Opening Song: Moonlight Densetsu
[Usagi and Mamoru walk up a red carpet, in their wedding outfits. The ground
breaks and Usagi seems to float away as Sailor Moon appears and puts
everything as it was before, then she disappears.
[Usagi and Mamoru are in their own private room having a tender moment, when
Chibi-Usa and Diana pop in. The three walk out.
[Night at Hikawa Shrine. Rei, Ami, Makoto, and Minako stand untransformed,
with Luna and Artemis looking grim. Lightning flashes to reveal four Super
Inner Senshi. They all stare up to the sky. After the screen scrolls up, it
scrolls back to see Setsuna, Hotaru, Michiru, and Haruka staring out the
window. Lightning flashes again, and they are Super Outer Senshi.
[In a very dark room, eight strange figures pace, and their eyes glow red.
[Super Chibi-Moon and Tuxedo Kamen stand watch, as two Eternal Sailor Moons
glare at each other. Unnoticed by any of them, the silver moon in the
background begins to turn black.
[There is an explosion, and Tuxedo Kamen with nine Senshi leap out. After the
smoke clears, Eternal Sailor Moon looks to be very beaten. She has tears
falling down her face, and is carrying the other Eternal Sailor Moon, who
looks deathly pale.
[After another explosion, the screen pulls out from two golden crescent
moons, and two Eternal Sailor Moons appear, back to back. Tuxedo Kamen and
Super Chibi-Moon, with Diana on her head, scroll on screen, behind them. On
the left side the four Inner Senshi scroll in with Luna, and the Outer Senshi
scroll in on the right with Artemis.
[End Opening Song]
"You called, your majesties?" Sere-Sere asked while bowing to Neo Queen
Serenity and King Endymion.
"Yes," the king replied. "You know full well that Earth of the 20th century
is under siege by a group calling themselves the Golden Millenium. Among those
attacked were the past selves of my wife, myself, and several others of the
members of Crystal Tokyo. It threatens our very existance."
"You mean those earthquakes we felt yesterday weren't natural?" Beth-Beth
questioned, while raising an eyebrow.
"That's right, Beth-Beth," the queen solemnly replied. "Please rise, all of
you. Our very existance is once again being torn apart. If the Crystal
Millenium is to survive, your assistance will play a vital role with our
friends in the 20th century. But not as you are now."
"Neo-Queen Serenity! You really mean we can become Sailor Senshi?" Jun-Jun
exclaimed as the Amazoness Quartet rose.
[Title catch
[Two golden crescent moons spiral in and meet up with each other in the
middle of the screen, as the Moon Kingdom fades in as the background. A
hurricane of feathers blows over the screen and white letters with black
outlines appear. Usagi's voice reads them:
["Nightmares after battle. Search for the Epoch Shard."
[End title catch]
"To find your true self inside," Michiru whispered in her sleep. "Eternal."
Haruka looked at her companion from the windowsill, then at her trembling
hands. "What a strange feeling this is. Could I be afraid? But of what?"
She looked back out the window, gazing into the thunderstorm.
"Mamo-chan," Usagi began, sweatdropping, as she opening up the envelope
holding Shin-Usagi's message, "Will you help me read Shin-Sailor Moon's
letter."
"Usako. You know as well as I do that it will all be in hiragana and
katakana."
Usagi sighed. Mamoru was right, of course, as the letter was written entirely
without kanji. Usagi began to read over the letter, eyes widening with each
sentence. "Impossible," she gasped, as the letter dropped out of her hands.
"Usako!" Mamoru screamed as he ran to his beloved. He brought her trembling
hands down from her mouth, and held them tightly. "The letter can't hurt you,
Usako. Let's read it together."
Usagi nodded, and picked the letter up, off of the floor.
"Dear Usagi, Mamo-chan, and all others reading this letter," Usagi began
aloud. "If you are reading this, then I have made my final act of life, by
stopping the death of Mamo-chan, by placing myself in fatal harm's way. I
have giving my Tier, and brooch to Usagi, hoping she will be able to use them
in my absense."
"Usako, she gave you her Silver Crystal?" Mamoru asked. She nodded, and he
continued with the letter. "Unfortunately, I can no longer be of help to you
in your battle with the Golden Millenium physically, but I can provided all
of the information I have on them. Their leader and princess, Diana, is a
formidable foe, with a deep hatred for the Silver Millenium. Her lineage
fuels her personal despise even more, and makes her incredibly dangerous. She
is the daughter of Dead Moon's Nehelenia, and Nemesis's Diamond."
Mamoru almost dropped the letter himself. Usagi clutched his hands, "Enough,
Mamo-chan. We can save the rest of tomorrow. I'm already going to have
nightmares from this bit of the letter."
"No, Usako. We need to finish this now," Mamoru demanded. "But, I don't know
if I can."
A soft, scratching noise came fron the door to the bedroom. Usagi jumped
behind Mamoru, who got up, and opened the door. Usagi breathed a sigh of
relief. It was only Luna. The cat smiled, saying, "I heard you were having a
bit of trouble with the letter. Since Shin-Sailor Moon already read it to me,
and it doesn't bother me all that much anymore, perhaps I can help out?"
The couple nodded, and sat back down on their bed. Mamoru placed the letter
on the floor for Luna to dictate. "I know it may seem impossible, but it is
true. The place Nehelenia grew up as Queen of the Dark Kingdom, gazing
jealously at my mother's kingdom on the moon. Sound's familiar, doesn't it?
Queen Metallia also grew up there. Nehelenia wasn't a bad queen, everyone
adored her, but she joined the Dead Moon, and was sealed in the mirror. When
it was obvious Nehelenia wasn't going to break free, Metallia seized the
throne, and destroyed my mother's kingdom."
"But, we healed Nehelenia!" Usagi screamed. "She fulfilled her dream, and put
her jealousy behind her, I just know it!"
As Mamoru hushed Usagi, Luna read on. "When history changed through the
restoration of Nehelenia, even worse circumsatnces arouse. She fell in love
with a young gentleman of her court, Diamond. He and she wed, and gave birth
to Diana. Diana grew up, and befriended Metallia. They both hated the Silver
Millenium, even more so than Nehelenia had. The two plotted for years, and
the oppotunity to take over finally came. Diana slew her own mother, while
her father was visiting some sage, who I later found out was Wiseman, the
Death Phantom! Metallia gained the Dark Kingdom's throne for a day, and
immediately rebelled against the Silver Millenium. Diamond never came home,
so Diana gathered her most powerful allies, and formed a small kingdom for
herself. Using the histories of the Dark Kingdom, Diana and her court found
out that they were descendants of the survivors of the Golden Millenium, who
had escaped the rebellion. Diana decided to wait. She knew that Metallia
would rise again, as would her father, under the Death Phantom's control, and
that her mother before the cleansing would show up, and battle the
reincarnations of the Silver Millenium. Her court advised her to learn from
their mistakes. They waited, and waited. Finally, the wars came, with the
Death Buster's and Galaxia extra educational benefits. She told me during our
final battle that she was searching for the Epoch Shard to track down
Chronos. The root of all of her problems were in the past. She wants to stop
the fall of the Golden Millenium by destroying the Silver Millenium before it
begins!"
"What!" Mamoru yelled. "That will solve her problems? To destroy what
benefits the history of every person that existed after that?"
"Evil." Usagi whimpered, "Pure evil."
"Let me finish!" Luna scolded. "Just a line or two more: Please, Usagi,
Mamo-chan, and Sailor Senshi, you must make sure this never happens, or we
are all forfeit! I know you can defeat the Golden Millenium, but you must
find yourselves first, and fully recombine with your past selves. Finally,
every time that someone travels through time, the enemy gets one step closer
to pinpointing the Epoch Shard's existance. Goodbye, and may the moon shine
on you always."
"Of course," Neo-Queen Serenity responded to the green haired Amazoness's
question. "We found out that everyone has at least some potential to be
Senshi while Galaxia invaded."
"You four have unusually strong potential," King Endymion continued, "and
have proved yourselves worthy and capable protectors of Small Lady."
Neo-Queen Serenity waved hand over the Silver Crystal, and four heart shaped
objects appeared in front of the quartet, colowed the same as the hair of the
individual it belonged to. "You have confirmed yourselves as reliable adults,
and have my permission to use your new Senshi powers against the Golden
Millenium, protecting my daughter at all costs. You the Cherry Way, and go
the the 20th Century. Sailor Celes, Junas, Bethes, and Paras, hurry, time is
too short."
The four placed the heart brooches on their clothes in unison, and were gone
from the room.
"No!" Setsuna shrieked as she snapped out of her sleep. "The Cherry Way!
Someone's travelling through time, and without my permission. Neo-Queen
Serenity must have sent someone back, but this is not good, no matter who
they are!"
She stood up, and walked to her windowsill, observing the storm. "Chronos,
please stay hidden from the Golden Millenium a little longer."
The green haired time guardian returned to her bed. "What I saw earlier,"
Setsuna thought. "Can it be repeated? Can it even be true that the Senshi can
ascend to a higher transformation level? If so, then we may survive, allowing
history to play out correctly."
The events of Aprodite's attack on Mamoru replayed in Setsuna's mind. "Puny
Super Senshi?" Setsuna muttered. "Eternal," she whispered, her eyes closing
as she attempted to return to sleep.
"Haruka!" Michiru gasped, waking from restless nap.
"Michiru?" Haruka questioned, turning away from the weather outside the
house. "I can't admit to her that I'm afraid," she thought. "What's wrong?"
"I dreamt," Michiru whimpered, "That you, you blamed yourself for Shin's
death. You, you left me, and were killed by the enemy." Tears flowed down
Michiru's face, "Haruka, I never want to see you die, even in a nightmare!"
Haruka just stared at Michiru. "Death," she thought, "Could that be what I'm
afraid of? No, that's no it."
"Haruka, say something!"
"Don't worry, Michiru. We'll figure something out. And I won't blame myself
for what happened to Shin-Sailor Moon. It's what she wanted. She told us
that, right?"
Michiru stopped crying, and smiled at Haruka. "You always know the right
thing to say. I can sleep more easily now." She walked back to her bed, and
layed down.
"Pleaseant dreams, Michiru," Haruka whispered as she pulled the covers over
Michiru, then walked out of the room.
Haruka poured herself a glass of water from the tap. She slowly drank it,
then put the empty glass in the sink, and sat down on a couch. "My death
isn't what I'm afraid of at all," she thought, as she drifted to sleep. "It's
you, Michiru. I have to protect you, but I can't."
"Tenno Haruka," said a voice as an orange light burst through the darkness.
The light formed into Haruka's body, and she stared at herself. "Tenno
Haruka," the voice repeated.
Haruka looked all around, but only saw empty space. "Where are you? Why are
you in my dreams?" Haruka yelled at the voice.
A blue light shot through the void. Haruka's eyes tracked it, and she ran as
fast as she could in that direction. The light stopped, and Haruka finally
caught up to it, only to find Kaorinite firing her gun at Sailor Neptune.
"Michiru!" Haruka screamed as she raced to help her loved one, but arrived
too late. The Deep Aqua Mirror appeared, just as it had before. Haruka felt
emotions flooding into her body once more. Self hatred, despair, grief, pain,
and fear. "No, not again. Michiru, why can I never save you? You always make
it in time to save me." She picked up the gun Kaorinite had dropped when
Usagi had pushed her off the railing, and shot herself, releasing the Space
Sword.
The image of the appearance of the Talismans disappeared, and everything was
black once more. The same blue light appeared, but this time, it spun around
Haruka, shoving image after image of Michiru saving her, and Haruka being
helpless to do anything to save Michiru.
"Enough!" Haruka wailed as she clutched her head. "No more. Please forgive me
for not being there in time, all the time!"
"Of course I do," the voice said. The blue light stopped spinning, and took
shape. It was Sailor Neptune.
"Michiru! How are you in my dreams?"
"I don't know, Haruka. I fell asleep, then was tormented by an orange beam of
light, which showed me pictures of what would happen if I ever lost you. I
will not lose you, ever!"
"Michiru, I'm so sorry for always being in trouble. I can't imagine the pain
I've put you through."
Michiru touched her fingers on Haruka's lips, silenting her. "I told you, I
have nothing to forgive you for. You are what I live for, and will die for.
You can't blame yourself!" As the words came out, a tear formed of the blue
light, and Michiru was gona again.
As the words hit Haruka, she realized what it was she was afraid of. "I'm
afraid of losing Michiru, and never being able to prevent it," she whispered.
"No. I can protect her! And I will!"
As Haruka intoned her promise, her body glowed orange, and she was gone from
the black, empty space.
Haruka opened her eyes. Michiru was standing front of her, waiting for her to
wake up. "You know what this means, right?"
"Of course, Michiru."
Michiru grabbed for Haruka's hand, and Haruka reciprocated.
"I will do whatever it takes," Haruka began to pledge.
"To ensure that you are safe," Michiru concluded.
A globe of light manifested where Haruka and Michiru's hands were touching.
The light spread out, orange towards Haruka, blue towards Michiru. As the
light enveloped the two, their clothes began to change into that of a Sailor
Senshi. Longer gloves formed on their arms, reaching in between the elbow and
shoulder, where round orange puffs had formed on Haruka, as blue one's had on
Michiru. As the lights passed to the body, the white bodysuit began to form,
as did the chest ribbons and double layered fuku, orange and darkest blue for
Haruka, and aquamarine and the same blue for Michiru. The lights passed down
their bodies, leaving four small ribbons and two long ones, all of the same
color as the top layer of the miniskirt. Haruka's feet were covered by her
boots, and Michiru's by heeled shoes. Haruka and Michiru's other hands now
gripped each other, and the same lights formed, travelling up their arms.
This time, the lights travelled up their necks, forming orange and blue
chokers with the Uranus and Venus sigils respectively. Instead of a tiara,
the appropriate sigil formed on their foreheads and on their ears. The sigils
shone brightly, and the orange or blue light jumped down to the chest bow of
its Senshi, and formed golden heart brooches with the Uranus or Neptune
sigils.
"Eternal," the two whispered, then fell asleep in each other's arms on the
couch.
"Two more," Setsuna thought from the doorway. "What is enabling them to
achieve such powers?"
[Commercial eye-catch
[Usagi is on the screen in her high school uniform. She raises her brooch
above her head, and Eternal Sailor Moon is in her place. The camera rotates
to the right and reveals another Eternal Sailor Moon standing back to back
with her. The camera rests so that the original's right side can be seen and
the new Eternal Sailor Moon's left side can be seen. Both raise their Eternal
Tiers and two flashes of light spread to cover the screen as the words
Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon Densetsu appear on the screen.
[End commercial eye-catch]
Rei quickly snapped out her slumber. Her alarm clock had been going for some
time now. "What, now I'm gaining Usagi's sleeping habits?" she asked
rhetorically.
Rei stood up, put on her Miko outfit, and ran to the kitchen, where she found
a very hungry grandfather. "Good morning, Rei," he said, eyeing the plate in
front of him.
"Grandfather? Why haven't you touched your food?" she questioned.
"Yuuichiro made it."
Rei raised an eyebrow at the notion. She never knew Yuuichiro knew how to
cook, much less cook badly. She walked over to the old priest, and tasted the
miso soup. "I've had worse," she lectured, remembering Minako's fateful visit
to her room while the Black Moon epidemic was going around.
Grandfather sniveled, and looked up to his granddaughter. "Just eat, you old
pervert," she lectured. "I'm going to be in the shrine."
Rei left the kitchen munching on a sandwich, just as the TV announced that
they had received word of a major teen idol group revisiting Tokyo, soon.
"Have you thought on how to reemergence on Earth?" Princess Kakyuu asked
Seiya as they sped on through space.
"Yes, Princess," Seiya replied. "Taiki already sent word to the Earth of the
reappearance of the Three Lights to the Japanese media."
"Only, we don't want the girls to know we're back, so I told them a rumor of
an idol group coming back."
"Do your think any of our fans will remember us?" Yaten questioned. "It has
been two years."
"We can only find out," Seiya remarked as the quartet swiftly streaked into
Earth's atmosphere.
"You kicked some Golden Millenium scum's butt, and I missed it!?" Makoto
screamed at Minako.
"Well, I didn't know it was going to happen, it was Haruka, Setsuna, and
Michiru who brought me along."
Ami eyed the trio who were standing in the corner of the room. "It seems like
you know more than you're letting on," she pressed. "I thought we truly
understood each other. We were supposed to be a team."
"Ami, we're really sorry, but it couldn't be helped!" Michiru stated.
"We were told to bring Minako only, which doesn't mean you or Makoto," Haruka
burst foolishly.
"Told?" Makoto asked, "More secrets? How much else do you know that we don't?"
"Stop!" Usagi shrieked. "Just stop bickering. We have more problems, like
Diana's past."
"And the temporal disturbanced I felt last night," Setsuna added.
"Shin-Sailor Moon told us to bring Minako because she could hurt Aphrodite.
She also told us about the Epoch Shard." She glanced at Chibi-Usa. "No more
time travel, at least not until we defeat the enemy, or they'll find it, and
with it, Chronos."
"But, that means I can't return!" Chibi-Usa yelled.
"You weren't even think of returning, with the enemy in our time, so that's a
moot point, Small Lady," the time guardian reprimanded. Chibi-Usa quickly
stopped arguing.
"In any case," Setsuna continued, "I felt beings travelling here from the
future. Only Neo-Queen Serenity and myself have the power to traverse the
time barrier, or send others through."
"So, I sent help from the future, right? That can't be a horrible thing."
Usagi commented.
"But your future self didn't know the consequenses," Hotaru added. "No matter
what help they are, it's nothing if the Golden Millenium locates the Epoch
Shard."
"Setsuna," Rei asked. "You _are_ the Guardian of Time. Do you know where the
Shard is? If we knew, it would be easier to protect."
Setsuna shook her head. "I hadn't even heard of it before Shin-Sailor Moon
told us of it."
"Not good," Minako solemnly stated.
"Perhaps the fire will know," Rei proposed. "I'll conduct a reading, and tell
everyone what I find out."
The group nodded, walked into the fire room. Rei tied her hair back with a
white ribbon given to her by Yuuichiro, and they all began to sit down, when
they heard a high pitched yelp from outside the shrine. Ignoring the fact
that Rei had begun the incantation, the party quickly ran outside, ready to
transform.
When they arrived, grandfather Hino was lecturing Yuuichiro for stepping on
his feet. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down in the cool
summer breeze to wait for the priestess.
Inside the fire room, Rei gazed deeply into herself, trying to find whatever
she could on the Epoch Shard from the fire. "Nothing," she thought as she
stoop up. "The fire either can't tell me because something is blocking it, or
it doesn't actually know the Shard exists. Why would it be kept such a secret
that neither the fire nor Setsuna know anything about it?"
Rei smacked herself lightly on the forehead. "Because it holds the key to
time travel, stupid," she unraveled.
When Rei walked outside to tell everyone the bad news, she was confronted
with a serious looking group of friends.
"The winds are screaming," Haruka told her.
"The oceans are restless," Michiru added.
"Another attack?" Rei asked, while thinking, "Why didn't I sense this. My
abilities must be becoming dull."
"Let's go," Usagi commanded, as the team ran down the shrine's hillside
stairway.
"Do you think they'll know we're here?" Sailor Bethes asked.
"Probably only the Time Guardian will know," Sailor Junas yawned. "Time
travel is her area of expertise.
"Maybe that's them," Paras said as she pointed at the sky where something was
fast approaching.
The other three looked up, and fear took over. "That's not the Sailor Senshi!"
Sailor Celes yelled. "Something's coming into the planet's atmosphere from
space! Run for it!"
The Amazoness Quartet promptly dashed out of the the way of the objects. To
their surprise, the impending threats made perfect landings on the ground,
causing no damage to the area.
"Impressive," Bethes whistled.
"Look at those uniforms," Junas said. "Not any Senshi we know. They might be
the problem."
"Finding their Majesties can wait," Celes charged, in command. "Let's go,
team! But let's try to be peaceful for once."
Bethes groaned. Peaceful interrogation was not her forte.
The group leaped from behind the rocks they were hiding near. "What's this?"
Paras asked. "So high! Even higher than we used to go with the Dead Moon
Circus."
"Our abilities are enhanced with the Senshi's powers," Junas told the blue
haired soldier.
The four made perfect landings in front of the new arrivals to Earth and
stood silently, waiting for the others to introduce themselves.
Princess Kakyuu diplomatically stepped forward to face the four stranges, "We
mean no harm, but do not recognize you. Who are you?"
"No harm?" Celes asked. "How can we be sure of that? There are two sides
forming in the coming war. Seeing as we were on Earth first, I suggest you
introduce yourselves, or you will force us to attack."
"Odd," Bethes thought. "I thought she was trying for a peaceful outcome."
"Surely, you must know who we are!" Sailor Star Fighter pleaded, stepping
forward.
"Afraid not," Junas replied.
Sailor Star Maker closed her eyes, thinking about two years ago. These four
weren't there, even though they appeared to be Sailor Senshi. She opened her
eyes, and dramatically pointed at the Quartet. "You wear the garb of Sailor
Senshi, but were not present in the war for this and all galaxies! You must
be the enemy that obscured the shine of this planet's future ruler!"
Maker stepped to the side, allowing Sailor Star Healer to release her Star
Sensitive Inferno at the unsuspecting enemies. The yellow beams of light
shot forth, but the Quartet leapt out of the way.
"The war for all the galaxies?" Paras thought. "I know I heard something
about that in the Crystal Millenium."
The Amazonesses landed in a square pattern, surroundng the Starlights and the
princess. Bethes began to create a fireball to launch, but was stopped by
Paras, who yelled, "Stop, Sailor Senshi should not battle Sailor Senshi!"
"What?" Healer asked, now willing to listen, and not blast the enemy to bits.
"You are true Sailor Senshi?"
Paras looked at the shorter, white haired girl. "Please, allow us to explain
why we weren't here to help battle Galaxia in the Sailor Wars."
Kakyuu looked at blue haired Senshi. "Strange," she thought, "She seems the
most childish, but has the most level head."
"Sailor Starlights, Princess of Kinmoku, please don't force violence," Paras
begged as she bowed to the royal lady. The two groups dropped all signs of
agression at Sailor Paras's request.
"You know who we are," Maked began, "Now who are you?"
"We are the Amazoness Quartet," Junas commenced.
"We were made Sailor Senshi by Neo-Queen serenity of the Crystal Millenium,
and sent back to protct the future from the ominous Golden Millenium, the
current enemies invading Earth," Bethes continued.
"Our mission is also to protect the Queen's daughter, who you may not have
met." Celes concluded, "You know our Queen as Tsukino Usagi."
"Usagi," Fighter stated cherishingly. "If you know her, and she trusts you,
we can trust you." She smiled. "That is the lesson she taught us two years
ago."
"That's just the thing," Celes added. "The Senshi you know do not know us as
we are. To them, we may still be enemies, no matter what happens in the
future."
"Then seeing you with us will show them to trust you," Healer said.
"Strange," Maker commented. "Before we met them, we never would have
considered trusting anyone so quickly."
"They have that affect on people, don't they?" Paras said, remembering how
kind Ami and the others were before they knew about each others identities.
"We were on our way to meet with them, when we saw you speeding into the
Earth," Junas said. "I'm sure they'll be excited to see you too. Why don't
you can with us?"
Kakyuu smiled. "What do you say to surprising the Sailor Team?"
Celes nodded approvingly, "First impressions always stick, right?"
Diana grinned. "One step closer to success. Someone has arrived from the
future."
"Princess, the locater is coming up with an image," another woman shouted.
She had short, straight green hair, and worn a simple sky blue ballgown.
"Really, Hermes? Can we continue with our plans?"
"Hold on, your Majesty," Hermes said, while typing into the keyboard
connected to the image moniter. "It's still a little fuzzy, but we are closer
than ever. I think I can smooth the picture out."
Hermes frantically typed into her computer, and the image began to sharpen.
When finished, Diana gasped, as did the rest of the court. "So simple, and
obvious," the princess said, shaking her head. "Sailor Mars was right about
the Epoch Shard holding the key to time," she chided while cackling
gleefully, the rest of the court following their leader.
"Your Majesty," a soft voice cried in the midst of the laughter. "Shall I
retrieve the Shard? It will be so easy to infiltrate their lines."
"Yes, Diana, I believe I will let you. But don't screw up like you did with
the plan to kill the girl off. Hermes will attack, while you steal the
artifact." Princess Diana ordered. "Although, you were right about it leaving
her powerless, but only for a short time thanks to Sailor Pluto," she thought.
The gray purple kitten mewed, then disappeared with a jingle of the bell on
her neck.
Hermes stood up, and bowed to her princess. "Thank you for this opportunity,
Princess Diana." She put her hands together, and released a drop of water,
which fell to the ground, creating a ripple effect. The ripple travelled
through the woman's body until she was covered by a thin layer of water,
which she threw off, revealing golden, winged sandals, a short navy
miniskirt, white cut T-shirt, black gloves, and a light blue visor.
The ripples once again entered Lady Hermes's body, and she disappeared into
the spacial disturbance.
"Soon," Diana preached to her followers. "We shall have retribution soon."
