-------------------------------------
Usagi's voice: Attack after attack! Why can't the enemy give me a vacation?
Still, this new Lady is fast, smart, and beautiful. How can we stop her? Ami,
don't you have a plan? If not, in the place of the moon, how will I 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]
"Why can't I sense the enemy?" Rei pondered while following Haruka and
Michiru. "They always seem to know first. What's wrong with me lately?"
The rest of the team was trying desperately to keep up with speedy Haruka and
Michiru, until Rei cried out, "Wait!"
Everyone stopped. Rei walked towards Haruka and Michiru. "Didn't you feel
that?" They glanced at each other, then turned back to Rei.
"What is it, Rei?" Haruka asked.
"Well, you were running in that direction," Rei said, pointing where they had
been heading towards. "But just a second ago, I felt evil energy from that
direction," she continued, pointing down a different street. "I didn't feel
the enemy before, but I do now," she thought, "What's going on here?"
Michiru took out the Deep Aqua Mirror. "Where is the presence from outside
the Solar System?" she asked. The mirror lit up, and pointed towards the
direction Michiru and Haruka had been running. Michiru smiled. "I'm afraid
your senses are off today, Rei." Suddenly, the mirror began to jerk in
Michiru's grip, pointing to where Rei had said the energy was. "Or not."
[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:
["Those who would be Senshi. Sanctum of the mind."
[End title catch]
"What are we going to do?" Chibi-Usa asked. All eyes looked at Usagi.
"Usako," Mamoru said, nudging his wife.
"I don't know," she said. "Rei's always been right before, but so has
Michiru, whenever we asked her anything," Usagi thought. "Whatever we do, we
don't split up!" she ordered. She looked to Haruka and Michiru's path, then
Rei's, and then Haruka and Michiru's again. "But, I can't decide which
direction to go."
"Wait," Rei warned. "The evil energy is moving. It's coming here!"
A bell jingled, and the group gazed in the sound's direction. A kitten
stepped out of an alley. "Small Lady!" Diana greeted. Everyone but Rei,
Haruka, and Michiru sighed in relief.
"That's not the evil, people!" Haruka yelled. "I can feel it now."
"It's coming in fast," Michiru stated, scanning the area for civilians. "No
one's looking, transform, and prepare!"
Diana jumped up onto Chibi-Usa's shoulder. "I want to go back to the 30th
Century," she moaned. "I'm worried about the future king and queen, with us
gone for so long."
"Sorry, Diana," Chibi-Usa said. "I can't us the Time Key, or the enemy may
find Chronos!"
Diana perked up. "She know's? They all know what we're trying to find?" she
thought. She looked at Setsuna, and asked, "Can't you make one exception?"
"No! Pluto Crystal Power, Make Up!"
"Saturn Crystal Power, Make Up!"
"Mercury Crystal Power, Make Up!"
"Mars Crystal Power, Make Up!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power, Make Up!"
"Moon Eternal, Make Up!"
Mianko held up her new brooch, "Venus Eternal, Make Up!"
"Pink Moon Eternal, Make Up!" Chibi-Usa intoned, pink like and feathers
streaming out of her brooch.
Haruka and Michiru held their hands together, and raised their brooches above
their heads with the other hand.
"Uranus Eternal, Make Up!"
"Neptune Eternal, Make Up!"
After the brief seconds of transformation, the Inner Senshi and Saturn looked
at Uranus and Neptune. "When did you become Eternal Senshi?" Venus asked. "I
was under the impression I was the only one."
"No time!" Mars yelled. She glanded down the street. "The enemy should be
here in a moment. It knows exactly where we are, somehow."
Diana jumped off of Chibi-Moon's shoulder, bell jingling. "I don't want to be
here for the fight," she thought. The kitten grinned, "I know other ways to
get that which I need."
A powerful gust of wind blew by, and a woman stood in front of the line of
Senshi. "It seems you knew I was coming," she smiled. "That was foreseen, and
calculated for."
"She talked so weird," Jupiter whispered.
"Like a computer, analysing data," Mercury added, noting the visor and
handheld computer the enemy had which mimicked her own. "Lady Hermes, I
presume?"
"A million years ahead of you, Mercury."
Uranus charged forward. "You won't find Chronos, ever! We know your plans!"
She swung, but hit only air. "What?"
"It seems I am a million years ahead of you too, Sailor Uranus," the skantly
dressed woman smiled.
"Faster than Uranus?" Saturn asked, shocked. "How's is that possible?"
"This is the worst situation I've ever had to go into," Hermes thought. "I
can't kill them, or we'll never find the Epoch Shard. I can't believe I was
happy to back that fur ball up. Well, I have no problem killing one of them."
Mercury looked at Hermes, blue visor flashing into place. "I've got to find
the source of her speed. There's nothing we can do unless we slow her down!"
she thought, typing rapidly.
"Now, who wants to face me first?"
"That's almost the last of them," a golden haired, golden clothed woman said,
wiping her forehead. She turned away from the cliff, seeing that the once
giant garden of yellow flowers now contained only four blossoms."Just these
four let, and my mission will be complete."
The woman held out her hand, revealing four eight sided crystals with
brilliant shines. "The last four Star Seeds belong to you," Sailor Galaxia
whispered, releasing the Seeds to float in front of her. "Anima-mates."
The four crystals glowed, and after a golden flash of light, they were
replaced by four figures. Sailor Iron Mouse. Sailor Aluminum Siren. Sailor
Lead Crow. Sailor Tin Nyanko. The four flowers disappeared.
"Sailor Galaxia?" the four asked, looking up the Legendary Sailor Senshi.
"My guardians, can you ever forgive me?" Galaxia pleaded, turning to the four
Senshi. "I should have trusted you more, not gone off by myself to battle
Chaos. Please."
"Of course, you are our Princess. We do as you command," Lead Crow bowed.
"No!" Galaxia shouted. "I want to hear that you've forgiven me. Not that I've
forced you to."
The Anime-mates glanced at each other. "Princess," Iron Mouse started.
"We all believe in you," said Aluminum Siren.
"We trust you decisions," Lead Crow added.
"And forgive you for what ever you think you've done that is wrong. Meow!"
Tin Nyanko concluded.
Galaxia smiled. "Thank you. I believe there is one planet that hasn't
forgiven me. We shall go to the Earth."
"As you command," the Anima-mates chimed. Galaxia lit up in golden light, as
did the four guardians, and the disappeared from the cliff. Unseen by Galaxia
was a newly sprouting flower.
Images flicked on and off of Mercury's computer. Finally, one remained.
"Good!" she yelled. "The algorithms say that her boots give her the speed."
"Is that a challenge, Sailor Mercury?" Hermes asked.
"Brilliant deduction, Captain Obvious," Mercury retorted.
The rest of the Senshi backed off. "I think we'll leave this to you,
Mercury," Moon said, sweatdropping.
"You're welcome, Sarcasmo," Hermes returned.
Usagi would have made some sort of noise, but decided against it because of
the seriousness of the situation.
"Have to slow her down," Mercury thought. "Maybe if I make an indirect
attack?"
"Cold feet, Mercury?"
"No, that's what you'll have in a second," Mercury thought, careful not to
release her plan. "Shabon Spray!"
"You aren't being serious, are you?" Hermes questioned. "Soap bubbles, even
magical ones, won't hurt me."
A bubble popped. In Hermes's eye. "What were you saying?" Mercury asked,
silently summoning her harp, and sending out an Aqua Rhapsody to the area
immediately around Hermes's feet.
"You do remember I'm wearing a visor, don't you?" Hermes asked. "And, your
little ice trick won't work. My visor let's me see through this fog." She
smiled, disappointed that Mercury couldn't see her triumphant grin.
Hermes jumped out of the fog, landing directly in front of Mercury, causing
the blue haired one to step back. "Some Super Senshi you are." Hermes snapped
her fingers, and a thin layer of ice began to form from Mercury's toes,
slowly creeping up.
"I've just begun a freezing process, little Senshi. Try to figure out how to
beat me before you get frozen over." She smiled again. "I'm waiting."
"Fire Soul!"
The fireball quickly apprached Mercury's freezing legs, but as the ball
approached, the flame died down in a field of bubbles, the ice not melting.
"What?" Mars screamed.
"Please, Sailor Mars, don't help me," Mercury said, struggling with the ice,
her computer, and the thousands of situations racing through her mind, trying
to find victory.
"Mars," Sailor Pluto said, holding Mar's shoulder. "This is her battle. We
musn't help her."
"But, Pluto! Look how she's struggling. I can't just sit here and let her
become a Mercury Ice Statue!"
Mars turned from Pluto to see Mercury's computer drop out of her hands, as
her friend passed out.
"So Sailor Mercury has fallen," Hermes smiled. "Now there is nothing you can
do." She walked forward slowly, building the fear within the minds of the
Senshi.
"Mercury!" Sailor Moon wailed.
[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]
"Mizuno Ami, awaken!" a voice rung through Ami's thoughts.
"Where am I?" she asked, seeing only black space.
"That, you must figure out for yourself," the voice said. "You are the
thinker in the Sailor Team. If you can't contemplate an answer to the
problem, how will they?"
"Stop!" Ami screamed, clutching her head. "Get out of my thoughts! They don't
rely on my. I'm the weakest, and I need to be defended."
"If that's what you wish, why did you stop Sailor Mars just now?"
"You, you saw that? Who are you?" Ami asked.
"Think, like I told you before."
"Think? I can't think in a situation like this! My friends need me to defeat
Lady Hermes."
"So you are needed by your friends."
"Of course I'm needed. I just don't know what to do in every situation. I
have to know when to accept defeat, and when not to."
"Then you are indeed the wisest," the voice said. Ami looked at her body in
the black space. She was glowing blue. The blue suddenly shifted off of her
body to form an energy version of herself.
"So, I am inside myself," Ami said.
"Yes, this is your unrealized potential. Humans only use ten percent of their
full brain power, right?"
Ami looked at the energy being. "What are you saying?"
"Awaken, Mizuno Ami, realize your true potential."
"I, I can't," Ami said. "My body is encased in ice. I'm actually unconcious.
And I want to know more. You've asked me to realize my full potential, but I
bet you haven't been completely honest with me."
The energy being gulped. "You've figured it out, then. I never doubted you
would."
"Take me to the Mercury Crystal," Ami commanded. "Help me to become Princess
Mercury."
A purple kitten scrambled through the clothing laid out on the bed. "It's got
to be here somewhere," Diana thought. "Small Lady wouldn't have hidden it
that well."
After a bit more scrounging, Diana had found what she was looking for. She
grinned maniacly, tapping the bell around her neck. "My Princess, I have the
Key to Time."
"Excellent," a figure said, appearing in the room. "Thank you, Diana. Now,
let's return and watch the Sailor Team battle our diversion."
"Mercury! Wake up!" Sailor Moon pleaded, hugging her frozen friend, trying to
share her warmth. "Ami, please."
"Sailor Moon, stand back," Saturn instructed. As Sailor Moon did so, Saturn
placed her hands on Mercury's head, and closed her eyes.
"What's she doing?" Jupiter asked.
"You're asking me?" Uranus said. "I won't even try to understand it."
"Jupiter, Saturn has healing powers in addition to her destructive
abilities," Pluto explained. "Saturn is most likely trying to heal any
injuries to Sailor Mercury, physical and mental."
"How can you be so calm?" Venus screamed at Pluto.
"It is because it is not my place to interfere."
"I am so sick of this non-interference bull," Jupiter yelled, spinning around
on her tiptoes and summoning a field of leaves, to which she added a spark,
and sent it at Lady Hermes.
"You would challenge me, Jupiter?" Hermes asked.
"No, I would," Venus shouted, slamming a ball of energy at superspeeds at her
opponent. "Let this work," she whispered.
Hermes jumped out of the way, and the ball connected with the ground. "Not
even you, Eternal Sailor Venus, can harm me."
"She's in the air," Neptune thought. "That means she can't easily avoid or
change directions." Neptune looked menacingly at Hermes, who returned her
glare. From behind Hermes, a red light appeared. Neptune grinned.
"What's to smile about, Neptune?" Hermes asked.
"That," Neptune pointed. Hermes turned, giving the Mars Flame Sniper the
correct angle to strike her through the chest.
"Impossible," Hermes gasped, "How could you?"
"Something you couldn't understand," Jupiter laughed. "You can't have
teamwork when you're by yourself."
"Strength in numbers," Venus said.
"I won't be beaten by you," Hermes coughed. She grabbed the fiery arrown, and
pulled it out of her body, amidst screams of agony.
"How can she just withstand it?" Mars asked.
"That's impossible!" Sailor Moon gasped. "What can we do?"
"Sailor Moon," Tuxedo Mask whispered. "You have Shin-Sailor Moon's Tier,
right? And her brooch?"
"Of course, but I haven't been able to use them," she replied.
"Well, now would be a great time to give it another try," he said.
"I see now that I shouldn't have toyed with the Sailor Team," Hermes frowned.
"I will destroy Sailor Mercury, and then you all."
"You'll do no such thing!" Saturn yelled, glowing with an intense purple
aura. "I will not allow you to destroy her when there is still hope for her
recovery. You did little but freeze her outer movement. She is still very
much active on the inside."
"And how do you plan on stopping me? A Silence Wall?" Hermes smirked. "It may
have worked on Ares and Pegasus, but not me."
"No, not a Silence Wall," Saturn said, calming a bit. "Something I couldn't
have done before. Something you'd never calculate." Saturn ripped the heart
shape brooch off of her costume, causing her to become Hotaru.
"Hotaru!" Chibi-Moon shrieked, "What are you thinking? You'll be killed!"
"No, I won't! I'll never let anyone die without just cause. Saturn Eternal,
Make Up!" Hotaru raised the brooch above her head, and purple and black
ribbons surrounded her, forming her lace up boots, purple and black miniskirt
with ribbons, dark gray bodysuit with winged ends over the shoulders, crystal
brooch with a glowing, purple Saturn sigil inside, black ribbons around the
brooch, purple gloves, black feather wings, Saturn shaped earrings, and a
purple Saturn sigil on her forehead. "It is my right to pass judgement, not
yours. I am Eternal Sailor Saturn, the Angel of Judgement!"
"So much anger," Uranus gasped.
"It can't be good for her mind. Do you think she can handle it?" Neptune
asked.
"If she can't, what we do here won't make any difference," Pluto whispered,
glancing at Sailor Moon. "But we don't need to worry about the Messiah of
Silence while we have the True Messiah as our leader and hope."
"Lady Hermes, you have attempted to take the life of my friends, and must be
punished. But not by me. All I'll do is hold you until she regains
consciousness." Saturn grabbed the Silence Glaive and pointed it at Lady
Hermes, who was cringing in fear. "Silent Surrounding!" she intoned, and a
sphere of dark energy accumulated arround Lady Hermes.
"This is what you were searching for, the Mercury Crystal. We are now in the
innermost sanctum of you mind," the energy Ami said. "But how did you know
about it?"
"I just couldn't believe that the Moon Kingdom was the only place with an
object of power. It wouldn't make sense. All the subkingdoms must have had
something to contribute to their rulers. I just assumed that it would be in
the same form as the Silver Crystal."
"So why didn't you discover it before?"
"I've never had a guided tour through my mind before to reach it," Ami
grinned sarcastically. "Am I also right in guessing that I can assimilate
with the past Princess Mercury using the crystal?"
The energy Ami nodded. "What will you do now?"
Ami held out the winged Mercury Crystal Rod, and touched it to the crystal.
Upon touching the rod and crystal were replaced with a heart shaped brooch
with the Mercury sigil on the bottom tip of the heart. "As expected. But I
bet the others who have achieved their Eternal transformations don't know the
actual reason, or how to use their crystals."
"That's your job, right?" the energy Ami said. "Show them how to do it. Now
go, they are waiting for you."
"Of course," Ami nodded, and closed her eyes.
"How long are we going to wait for Mercury to snap out of this?" Jupiter
asked.
"We're kind of drawing a crowd," Venus said. "I wish she'd find what she's
looking for."
>From the crowd, a TV camera and female reporter emerged. She had long, red
hair, as did her shorter camera woman. "Thanks, Fujita. I'm here in the
Juuban Shopping District, where the urban legends the Sailor Senshi seem to
be battling a woman who is encased in a black, swirling barrier. One of the
Senshi, Mercury from what the myth's descriptions say, has been transformed
into an ice statue."
"I hope that isn't a live feed," Mars groaned.
Out of the blue, the ice began to crack. "Mercury?" Sailor Moon anticipated.
"Correct, Sailor Moon," Mercury said, the ice shattering around her body.
"Thank you for not awakening me prematurely, Saturn, although you could have."
"Sailor Mercury," Saturn began, rage and anger still very apparent in her
sharp gaze. "My shield won't last forever. Please do away with this villain.
"Of course," Mercury smiled. She placed her hands together, then separated
them, revealing a stream of water flowing in between. The water enlarged and
splashed around Mercury, picking up speed and force. Finally, the water tore
from around Mercury and passed through the black barrier, freezing Hermes
from head to toe. "Mercury Aqua Vibration."
Saturn dropped the Silent Surrounding, and the Hermes statue began to fall to
the ground. The same figure that helped Lady Aphrodite appeared, and caught
the statue before it shattered. "My allies won't die so easily, Sailor Team.
We have what we came for. Enjoy this victory, it may be your last."
The figure disappeared once again. "Damn," Uranus cursed, "We don't even know
who she is."
Mercury walked to the area that Hermes has just occupied She reached down and
found Hermes's computer. "Maybe not. I've just acquired a new computer chip.
Now let's leave. It's already a media circus."
With that, the Sailor Team leapt into the air, and were immediately out of
sight of the cameras.
"Darn," the female reporter sighed. "I thought I could get an interview with
one of the legends. Back to you, Fujita." After a small pause for the camera
to stop, Princess Kakyuu thought, "What's really going on this time? I had no
idea the situation was so serious."
"You aren't going to believe what my network just told me," Minako told the
group, hanging up the phone in Rei's room.
"News on Golden Millenium activity?" Haruka jumped to the conclusion.
"No, silly!" Minako laughed. "My network doesn't deal with supernatural
activity."
She paused for effect. "Isn't anyone going to guess?"
Minako got no response, so revealed her secret. "The Three Lights are back,
and are going to be performing tomorrow in a joint concert with a new group
called the Quartet."
"Seiya's come back?" Usagi asked, eyes bright.
"Who are the Thee Lights?" Chibi-Usa asked.
"So, they're coming back to our planet," Haruka muttered.
"Are they the source from outside the Solar System we felt that Rei didn't?"
Michiru asked.
"They should have remained as stationary stars in the galaxy. The fools don't
know what they're getting into," Haruka continued.
"I thought you understood them!" Usagi moaned. "You let them protect me, how
can this be negative?"
"It's not negative that they're here," Setsuna remarked, "But it means our
situation is dire enough to attract them back to our planet."
"Minako, when are they performing?" Makoto asked.
"Tomorrow, and it's expected to sell out, although no one has announced it
yet."
"Then I believe we will be the first to purchase tickets," Ami said, typing
on her computer.
"How's it going, Ami?" Mamoru asked.
"I'm still trying to deceipher all of her codes. Hermes had a lot of
failsafes and blockades." She sighed. "This could take a while, but I'm sure
it will pay off."
"Hey, no one answered my question!" Chibi-Usa moaned. "Who are the Three
Lights?"
On the cliff Galaxia and her guardians had just left, a second flower
sprouted.
