[The morning after Avery and Prisma's healing]
"USAGI! For the last time, get up! You're going to be late for school!" shouts Usagi's mom, Tsukino Ikuko.
"Oh, no! Not again!" groans a groggy Usagi. "I'm gonna be so late!"
She dresses quickly and hurries out the door. Before bolting out the door, she snatches two pieces of toast. Luna follows after her.
"Usagi, you forgot your lunch!" Luna shouts breathlessly as the lunch bag hangs out of the corner of her mouth.
"Oh, yeah. Thanks!" she stops for a minute to rub the cat's head.

[12:00 Lunchroom]
"I got my 3rd detention this week and it's only Tuesday!" Usagi cries to her friends, Mizuno Ami and Kino Makoto. "Mom and Dad are gonna ground me for sure!"
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll find a good excuse to tell them," Makoto says. "I've got to stay after school also. I got one for talking. We walk to the meeting together."
"Okay," Usagi sniffles.
"Well, the bell's going ring in a minute. I wanna get to class early," Ami stands. "I want to get a study a few more minutes before the test."
Sweat drops appear on Usagi's and Makoto's heads.
"Bye, Ami!" they both say.
"Bye!"
They watch Ami walk to her next class.
"We've got to do something after detention this afternoon," Usagi suggests.
"We can't. We've got a meeting tonight,"
"Oh, yeah! I forgot." A sweatdrop appears on Makoto's head. "See ya in Math."
"Bye, Usa-chan!" Makoto and Usagi go their separate ways.
|
[5:00pm Hikawa Jinja]
Two girls walk toward the Shinto temple.
"Hi, Mako-chan! Hi, Usa-chan!" a blond girl with a red bow in her hair shouts excitedly.
"Hi, Mina-chan!" they say simultaneously.
"Usagi! Why are you late! I told you to be here at 4:00 sharp!" shouts the raven-headed girl behind Minako.
"I.. uh.. had detention. Sorry, Rei-chan."
"Sorry!? Sorry!? That's all you have to say?" cries Rei.
"Usagi!" Luna cries.
"What? I haven't said anything!"
"I know. Don't. Not one word."
"Word," she mumbles under her breath.
"What you did you do? Sleep during class? Forget to do your homework?" Rei continues.
"That's enough, Rei. I had detention, too. If you're gonna yell at someone, try yelling at me," Makoto crosses her arms in front of her chest and glares at Rei.
"Anyway... Let's get back to Sailor business," Ami interrupts.
"But there hasn't been any BlackMoon attacks since SailorMoon healed the Ayakashi sisters." Makoto turns her head toward Ami, arms still crossed.
"I know, but we can't relax just yet. The BlackMoon could be planning to attack tonight or next week. We just don't know when."
"Oh."
[About 2 hours pass. Nothing very important is said.]
"Well, I gotta go. Mom's probably worried sick about me. See ya," Usagi says, breaking up the meeting.
"Bye."
They all head home.
|
[11:30pm Street across from Tokyo Park]
"Usagi! Wait up!" Luna shouts.
"What for? So you can tell me to shut-up again?" she glares at Luna.
"Okay. I'm sorry. I'm just tired of hearing yours and Rei's petty bickering."
"Apology accepted," Usagi sighs as she looks up at the moon. A shooting star, looking like it's shooting from the moon, catches her eye. "Oh, look! A shooting star."
"So?"
"Nevermind," she sighs again and thinks. I wish things were back the way they were before Beryl.
"Can we go home now? I'm starving," Luna says impatiently.
"Okay," Usagi chuckles. "For once, I'm not the one who's starving."
|
[11:35pm Entrance to Tokyo Park]
"So," says a silver-haired person. "She wants things to be the way they were before, huh? I think that can be arranged." With a maniacal laugh, the person disappears.
|
[2:00am Tokyo Park]
A bright flash of light explodes in the park. A figure, dressed in a black cloak, emerges from the light looking into a hand-held silver computer.
"She was here. So was the princess. Hmm.. I knew she would find her. I will stop her," the figure closes the mini-computer and disappears into the night.
|
[2:15am Outside a Tokyo department store]
"HELP!! Someone help me!" a black-haired girl screams.
"Your energy will belong to the BlackMoon!" Droid Electrica laughs at the puny girls attempts of escape.
"I don't think so!"
"Huh?"
"I am the Senshi of Love and Justice, SailorMoon!" exclaims as she jumps to the ground in front of the droid.
"I am the Senshi of Water, SailorMercury!" she lands to the right of Moon.
"I am the Senshi of Fire, SailorMars!" she lands to Moon's left.
"I am the Senshi of Electricity, SailorJupiter!" she falls to the right of Mercury.
"I am the Senshi of Love, SailorVenus!" she falls to the left of Mars.
"And we are the beautiful sailor-suited Sailor Senshi of Earth!" they shout.
"Let me go!" the girl shouts. "I'm warning you!"
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Like you could do anything to me..." Electrica is suddenly thrown against a wall. The Senshi look between the thrown droid and the girl several times.
"Huh?" Moon questions.
"Look out behind you!"
Wires wrap around each Senshi. The girl dodges them and tries to set Moon free, but a wire flings her away, knocking her unconscious. She lands hard and minutes later wakes up. She manages to limp to the shadows of a dark alleyway.
Meanwhile, a rose breaks the Senshi's bonds. Being drained of most of their energy, they fall to the ground unconscious. Tuxedo Kamen, standing on a fire escape, jumps down and an unnoticed wire wraps itself around him. A streak of silver breaks the wire.
On top of a nearby building, a Senshi, dressed in a black sailor fuku, stands there. Her hair is black with silver highlights. Her collar, bows, skirt, and gloves are silver and her ankle-length boots are black with silver trims. The locket on her bow is a vertical Yin-Yang without the dots. On her wrist is a small silver box on a black bracelet. She floats down, limps over to SailorMoon and checks her pulse. She does likewise to the other Senshi.
"Ah, SailorEternity, I presume," Electrica notices the mysterious Senshi. "My master said you might show up to interfere in her plans. You have two choices: either you come back with me to Crystal Tokyo or die!"
"I will stop you, your master, and her plans, Droid Electrica!"
"No, I will stop you!"
"ENERGY..." The sky suddenly goes dark as a black column of energy begins to flow into the right hand of Eternity. A white column flows into the other. Two balls of energy are formed. She brings her hands together, a foot apart, in front of her. She pushes the two spheres together, forming one ball. The two colors twist around as if they were fighting over space.
"...FLARE!" she suddenly shoots the ball of energy at the droid. The ball splits back into two colors. The black half engulfs him and he falls to the ground, most of his energy gone. After Electrica was engulfed, the white half surrounds each of the five Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen, replenishing their lost energy.
The tired Electrica barely manages to get up and shoots a wire at Eternity. Exhausted from having used her attack, she tries to dodge, but gets entangled anyway. The droid drains the energy from her. Looking toward the Senshi, she breaths a sigh of relief, thankful that they are awake. She falls unconscious and is thrown against the wall.
"Did anyone catch the license plate number of that truck?" Moon asks groggily while getting up.
Then the Senshi notice Eternity on the ground behind Droid Electrica.
"Who's that?" Mars asks.
"I think her name is SailorEternity," Tuxedo Kamen tells the Senshi what happened during the fight between Electrica and Eternity.
"Let's whip this droid!" Jupiter charges at Electrica. Every punch she throws is dodged. He grabs Jupiter by the arm and flings her on top of the other Senshi.
"Oh, that hurt!" SailorMoon groans, trying to push her way out from under the other four Senshi. Mercury gets up and touches her right earlobe. A visor appears over her eyes and she begins scanning the droid with it.
"What are you doing, Mercury?" Venus asks.
"I'm trying to pinpoint his weakness," she notices that the droid is plugged into an electric socket. "There! The electric socket. SailorMoon, use your tiara and aim it at the socket. Then destroy him with your Cutie Moon Rod. Got it." Mercury puts her visor and mini-computer away.
"LOVE... ME... CHAIN!" her chain wraps itself around the droid, pinning him down.
"SHINING... AQUA... ILLUSION!" Mercury's attack freezes the droid in a block of ice except for his head.
"Damn that's cold. I need to get out of here." the droid's teeth chatter.
"I'll warm you up!" Mars exclaims. "BURNING... MANDALA!"
"Hot! Hot! Hot!"
"SPARKLING... WIDE... PRESSURE!"
"Enlighting," the droid coughs.
Moon pulls off her tiara. "MOON... TIARA... ACTION!" The tiara slams into the plug, cutting of Electrica's source of energy. "Time for some Moon dust! MOON... PRINCESS... HALATION!"
"Noooo...!" a shower of dust is left, floating in the wind.
SailorEternity groans as she slowly gets up. The Senshi walk over to her.
"Are you all right?" Moon asks, concerned.
"I've been better," she replies.
"Just who are you?" Mars asks suspiciously.
"My name is SailorEternity. I can't tell you anything else." Then she jumps on a building and disappears into the night.
"Well, that was rude," Mars complains.
"Let's meet tomorrow at Mar's," Luna says as she and Artemis walk to the Senshi.
"Why at my house? Why not at Moon's?" Mars disagrees.
"Because most of the time, there is no one there or they're to busy to listen to us," Luna snaps.
"So, it's decided. We meet at Mar's tomorrow after school," Mercury finalizes the plan.
"Well, I'd love to sit here and chat, but I have to get home," she notices Tuxedo Kamen coming over. "See ya," she walks away, leaving everyone behind.
|
[3:30am Tsukino home]
Usagi comes in the kitchen door.
"Tsukino Usagi, why aren't you in the bed?" asks her father, Tsukino Kenji.
"I..uh.. I just got through eating a snack." she stutters.
"Well, go to bed. You have school tomorrow, remember?"
"I'm going," she mumbles sleepily.
|
[4:00am Outside Usagi's window]
"Your wish will be granted, SailorMoon!" the silver-haired woman replies. "I hope you enjoy it! Muhahaha!" she fades into the darkness.
|
[Next Day 12:00 Juuban Jr. High lunchroom]
"Look over there," Usagi says to Ami and Makoto. "It's that girl we saved last night."
"Where?" Ami asks.
"Over at the table behind Naru-chan and Umino."
"I wonder where she disappeared to yesterday?" Makoto questions.
"She probably hid so she wouldn't be questioned by the police," Ami answers.
"Let's go over there and talk to her," Usagi suggests.
"Ok, maybe we can get her to talk about last night," Ami stands and throws her garbage away. The three girls walk over to where the girl is sitting.
"Can we sit down?" Usagi asks the girl.
"Sure. I guess," she shrugs.
"You probably think that we are so rude. My name is Tsukino Usagi."
"I'm Mizuno Ami."
"I'm Kino Makoto."
"I'm Jade."
"Did you hear about the monster attack last night? I heard the damage was pretty severe." Usagi asks Jade.
"Yeah, I was there."
"You were?" Ami questions.
"Yeah. I was shopping for some school supplies when the monster attacked. He said something about finding a time-traveling SailorSenshi. I didn't catch the name though. He grabbed me and was about to drain my energy, but the SailorSenshi showed up just in time. They got caught in some metal looking vines or something, but Tuxedo Kamen's rose set them free. He got captured, but another mysterious Senshi saved him. They defeated the monster and left."
"Did you get hurt?" Makoto asks.
"Not at first. After the Senshi showed up, I threw the monster against a wall. I ran over to help SailorMoon, but the monster threw me away. I landed on my leg and broke my ankle," she hoists herself up on her crutches and shows them her cast. "I have to run. I have to meeting to attend to. Bye."
The three girls watch her leave.
"Wasn't SailorEternity limping last night?" Usagi asks. The three girls exchange looks. "Nah!" they say simultaneously and laugh.
"That was interesting though," Ami says. "None of us are time-travelers, so it must be SailorEternity."
"Maybe she's from the future or something?" Usagi suggests.
"Who cares if she is from the future? The question is why she came back," Makoto exclaims.
"Maybe to correct something or save someone," Ami replies. "We need to have a meeting after school. I'll call Rei-chan and, Mako-chan, you can call Mina-chan."
"Usagi, don't be late!" Makoto says as the bell rings for them to go to their classes.
|
[4:00pm Hikawa Jinja]
Usagi walks up to the temple.
"Usa-chan, you're on time!" Rei exclaims, in mock horror.
"Well, Rei-chan, don't get used to it," she winks.
Minako, Makoto, and Ami arrive a few minutes later. The meeting lasts about two hours. They talk about Jade, last night's attack, SailorEternity, and Rei and Usagi get into a few arguments. Then, they head home.
|
[3:30am Inner Senshi's houses]
A strange bluish purple mist surrounds the four Senshi's houses. In Usagi's home, Luna disappears and reappears at the end of Ami's bed. The mist enters the guardians' bedrooms and they breathe it in.
