Sailor Moon Elves Chapter One:

                 The Power Of Honesty



Tsukino Usagi bent down and started tying the shoe lace of her right

shoe. Her long blonde hair, kept in two pig tails, fell down in front

of her face. Slowly she tied her shoe lace, as if pondering a subject.

After tying her shoe lace, she placed the hand bag she was carring on

the floor infront of her. Slowly, she opened the flap and pulled out

a large yellow envelope. She sighed and opened it, then shrieked with

joy. Her blue eyes lit up while reading the contexts of the page. She

then shoved everything in her bag and started running home.

Usagi opened the door of her house and entered the living room, paper

in hand. There she found her mother and father tentively watching the

news.

"Mom! Dad! I got my report card back today! I think it’s stellar!"

Usagi exclaimed.

"Ssh, Usagi. Be quiet. There’s another metor crater, like the one

four years ago." Mr. Tsukino said.

Usagi sat down beside her mother and started watching the news. A

reporter appeared on the screen. She didn’t look exactly comfortable

as she stood infront of the crater and started her report.

"Another meteor has landed in downtown Tokyo. We will remember that

a similar one appeared four years ago at two in the morning. So far,

scientists cannot identify the metals they have found, but they are

working 24/7 on it. Stay tuned and we’ll up date you." the reporter

said and the news went back to the anchor man.

"What is it that you wanted to tell us, Usagi?" her father asked and

turned around.

"My report card, here. I’m going over to Rei’s. Bye!" Usagi called

and ran out of the house.

On the way to the Shrine, she ran into Ami, who was also heading toward

it. At the Shrine’s steps, they met up with Haruka, which had heard the

news while jogging past an electronics shop. The three ran up the stairs

together.

"Usagi-chan, late enough!" exclaimed a girl with long raven black hair

and purple eyes when the three had reached the top.

"What do you mean?" laughed Usagi, "We never even had a meeting date set

up!"

"Exactly, Rei-chan. Maybe you should control your emotions a bit, eh?"

Haruka said arrogantly.

Rei fumed, but said nothing and lead the three to their meeting place.

There they found the rest of the Sailor Senshi, minus Chibi-Usa.

"So, it’s pretty obvious the reason we’re gathered. The crater. Anybody

seen it?" a girl asked.

She was the oldest of the group and her skin was the darkest. Her long

hair was dark green and left loose save a bun on the top of her head and

she had red eyes, setting of her face nicely.

"No, you, Setsuna-san?" Ami asked, taking out a small blue computer.

"No. I tried to on my way here from the hospital, but it was closed

of from traffic. Last night, though, I had a feeling like time was

being disturbed. Probably from what created the crator.” Setsuna said,

resting her head on her hands.

"Maybe it was some new foes. What could the possibly want know? We’ve

had energy collectors, dream collectors that were Pegusus searchers,

star seed searchers, talismen searches, what next?" Usagi asked.

"Maybe the key to the universe searchers." suggested Haruka, smirking.

She was the tallest of the group and the most masculine. Her hair was

short, in a boys cut, and sandy blonde and her eyes were greenish-blue.

Her voice was deep and husky, also resembling a boy’s. Her whole outward

apperance was that of a male.

"Funny, Haruka, I’ll make sure to give them the key from my house to see

if that’s the key." Rei said sarcasticlly.

"I’m serious. Isn’t that what Galaxia was after?" Haruka asked.

"Yeah." a girl replied.

"Her face was friendly, a smile constantly on her lips. She had flowing

blonde hair, one layer held back with a red ribbon, and sparkling blue eyes.

"Minako-chan, how about we go to the crator?" Usagi asked the blonde.

"Yeah! Let’s go!" Minako exclaimed and jumped up, "It’s closed to traffic,

but not on-lookers! Let’s go, what are we waiting for? The Crystal

Millennium?"

With that, the nine girls got up and headed toward the crator. On the way,

they each make little short stories from what it could have come from. One

theory was that a meteor had really created it, another that Usagi was upset

and bawled her eyes out, creating the crater with her tears, and another one

was that Haruka had gotten so mad that she flew to her native terrain, the

sky, and punch Tokyo in frustration, creating the crater.

"Yeah, aren’t you sure that you created the crater, Mako-chan?" Haruka

jokingly asked Makoto.

Makoto was a tall girl of eighteen with emerald green eyes and chocalate

brown hair held in a high ponytail tied with a blue elastic. Her features

were more rugged than the other girls’, but she still had a the touch of

femininity that Haruka was lacking.

"Hey! I didn’t do it! How could I possibly make the crator?" Makoto cried,

defending herself.

"How do you think? Chasing guys!" Rei laughed.

Makoto frowned, but a smile played on her lips. The group neared the crater

and they fell silent. The gorge was deep and had several tunnels that lead

to sharp dead ends. The object that formed it must of had spikes coming out

of it. Not enough to make it look like a hedgehog, but over fifteen for

certain.

"Wow, this is truly alien." murmured Ami as she took out her pocket computer

and started to type something in.

Setsuna looked over Ami’s shoulder and watched the graphs and information

that

appeared on the screen. A girl with wavy aqua-green hair and sea blue eyes

walked up to the crater.

"Definately alien." she muttered, twisting a strand of her hair around her

index finger.

"You think, Michiru?" Haruka asked, stepping up beside her and putting an

arm around the girl’s waist, "You’re always right, you know that."

"Haruka!" Michiru giggled.

Usagi walked over to the crater and knelt beside it. A sudden sensation

came over her. The metal in the crater was familiar, yet she had never

seen in her life, the past, present, or future, anything like it. It was

a grayish-blue color and looked dull in the sunlight and brillinat in the

shade.

"Usagi, are we going to re-awaken ourselves?" a voice asked from behind her.

Usagi turned around, ready to attack. There stood a fairly short girl of

fourteen

that was amazingly pale. Her hair was so dark, black didn’t seem to describe

it,

and her eyes were a mesmorizing violet color.

"Hotaru-chan, you scared the living daylights out of me! Oh, my God, don’t

do that

again. As to your question, yes, I think so. This isn’t just any meteor that

crashed here." Usagi replied.

Rei walked up beside Michiru, Haruka, Usagi, and Hotaru. A starnge looke

passed

over her face as she neared the crash scene. "Does anybody else get the

feeling

that we’ve encountered this material before?" Rei asked, looking at all the

girls.

Usagi, Hotaru, Setsuna, and Michiru nodded. Ami looked up from her computer,

her blue eyes troubled. She wiped a starnd of her short blue hair kept in a

bob cut out of her eyes and got ready to speak.

"My computer won’t accept this material, but it also reacts to it. The

computer

doesn’t have scences, like us, but this metal sends vibes out to it." Ami

announced.

"This metal sends vibes to me too. It’s defenetly encountered us before."

Rei

declared, looking everybody in the eyes, a grave expression filling her

pretty face.

Haruka looked at her, then snorted. "Yeah, and pigs can fly."



                                    * * *



Michiru walked into her classroom in Mugen Gakuen College and sat down in

her normal seat. She looked at the seat next to her. Empty, like usual. She

sometimes wished that somebody sat there, sometimes Taikutsu-sensei’s

(NOTE: That’s how teachers in Japan are addressed, ‘last name’-sensei)

lessons

on biology were extremly boring. He had a way when speaking to seem to go on

forerver and he always talked in a high, monotone voice.

Taikutsu-sensei walked into the room and was followed by a girl. She was

slightly

shorter than Michiru with somewhat long green hair a shade lighter than

Michiru’s

own and soft, dark brown eyes. Her hair was seperated into two sections and

each

section was tied at the bottom with a small white bow.

"Class, this is Jun Sei (English Meaning: ‘Jun’ means pure and ‘Sei’ means

life,

so her name means Pure Life). Please say hello." Taikutsu-sensei introduced.

A few boys in the class whistled and the rest of the class politely said

‘hello’.

"Jun-san (NOTE: In Japan, students are addressed family name first with -san

added to it), please go sit beside Kaiou-san." Taikutsu-sensei said and

pointed

at Michiru.

"Hai (English Meaning: Yes), Taikutsu-sensei." Sei said.

Sei gracefully walked to her desk and sat down. She obviously didn’t notice

that

the guy sitting behind her was drooling at the mere sight of her. His blue

eyes

had widened a great deal and seemed to nearly pop out of his head at a

beauty

like Sei.

Sei turned her head gracefully and looked around the room. Her eyes caught

Michiru’s and they smiled at each other in friendliness. Taikutsu-sensei

cleared

his throat and all eyes, except the boy behind Sei, were on him again.

"We are now going to begin a partner project on . . ." Taikutsu-sensei

started.

Sei and Michiru looked at each other simultaneously. They smiled and nodded,

it was agreed. They were partners.

The period seemed to fly by for Sei. Once she and Michiru started talking,

they

seemed to have everything in comon, from the love of music to the love of

painting

to the pleasure of water and down to the dislike of kikurage mushrooms. She

was

disappointed to find the period had flown by so quickly.

"What class do you have now?" Michiru asked Sei while gathering her books.

"Astronomy, you?" Sei replied.

"Music. Maybe we can join up after school and from go to my house. How about

it?"

Michiru question as she and Sei left the classroom.

"Sounds good! Do you live nearby?"

"Not exactly, but I have a ride and, I assure you, they won’t mind giving

you one!"

"Then it’s set. Outside the school, by the statue?"

"Hai."

With that, the two girls separated, the appontment set. Michiru got her

violin

and headed toward music class. She frowned. A feeling had come over her when

she had met Sei. It was a deja vu, but that was ridiculous because she had

just

met her today. She immediately dismissed the thought from her head.

At the end of the day, true to her promise, Sei was waiting by the statue.

She

was looking away from Michiru, so Michiru took this as a chance to study her

and

let her memory save a picture of her.

The navy blue just-above-the-knee skirt seemed to hang off Sei like silk and

the

navy blue vest fit her quite nicely. At that moment she turned. The ruby red

tie

everyone had to wear looked especially pretty on her. The

just-below-the-knee

white socks showed her legs and the black Oxfords completed the uniform

nicely.

In her hands she held the navy blue jacket that belonged with the uniform.

At

her feet was her school bag.

Her face brightened when she saw Michiru. She waved to her and, picking up

her

backpack and slinging it onto her back, walked over to Michiru. Michiru

smiled back.

"Konnichiwa (English Meaning: Hello), Michiru-chan." Sei said as she neared

Michiru.

"Konnichiwa." Michiru replied, "Well, should we get going? Our ride is

getting

restless."

The two girls headed down the stone stairs of Mugen Gakuen College and

headed

toward the parking lot. The chatted happily about music until Michiru

stopped

infront of a blue Honda.

"This is our ride?" Sei timidly asked.

"Hai. Haruka! Are you around?" Michiru yelled.

Behind her stepped a tall person, presumably a boy, with sandy blonde hair

and

greenish-blue eyes. The boy covered Michru’s eyes with one hand while

motining

Sei to be quiet with the other.

"Hmm, who could it possibly be? I hope it’s - never mind. Haruka-san, it’s

so

obviously you." Michiru said in a flat voice.

Haruka spun Michiru around and put a hurt expression on her face. Michiru

laughed

gaily and gave Haruka a quick kiss on the lips.

"Uh, this your boyfriend, Michiru?" Sei asked.

"Girlfriend." corrected Michiru.

She didn’t know what had brought her to tell Sei that. Nobody except the

Senshi

knew the truth about Haruka. She felt a strong friendship bond between

herself

and Sei, despite the short time she had known her, and instinctively knew

that

Sei would never betray her.

"MICHIRU!!!" Haruka protested, but Michiru gave her a comforting smile.

"Do you have a special some one in your life?" Michiru asked Sei.

"I used to, but it’s a long story." Sei replied, looking sadly at the

ground,

then instantly turned happy, "Shall we get going?"

"Off course! Haruka, this is Jun Sei, my friend. Sei, this is Ten’ou Haruka,

my

companian. Sei’s visiting us today." Michiru filled Haruka in.

"Hop on in then, Sei!" Haruka instructed and got in.

After Michiru and Sei got in, Haruka turned the key to start the car. The

engine

sputtered then died. This scene repeated a few times until Haruka lost her

temper

and started fluently cursing the car’s engine. After releasing her anger,

she

looked at the other two passengers apologetically.

"Sorry, girls, but the engine won’t start. Guess we’ll have to walk." Haruka

announced.

Sei looked at the panel and started giggling. "The car’s not going to start

any

time soon, either! You’re out of gas, Haruka!"

That broke the other two up and the trio started walking toward Michiru and

Haruka’s

condominium. On the way, Michiru told them about the concert she was

preparing

for, Haruka about the marathon she was getting raedy to run with Makoto as

her

partner, and Sei about how much she liked Tokyo.

As they passed a park, Haruka announced that she had a craving for the hot

dogs

they were selling.

"So do I." agreed Sei.

"You’re out numbered, little Ocean King (Note: Michiru’s full name is Kaiou

Michiru,

which means ‘Complete Ocean Ruler’). We have to go for the hot dogs." Haruka

teased.

"I guess I’ll get water or a pop." shrugged Michiru as they got in line.

After getting their food, the three went to a fairly empty part of the park

and sat

down on a bench, eating drinking and talking.

"Have you heard of the Sailor Senshi, Sei?" Haruka asked Sei. Michiru’s

action of

jabbing her in the ribs went unobserved by Sei.

"Yes, I have. Not since I’ve moved to Tokyo, but where I lived before. The

most

talked of Senshi was Sailor Moon. Why?" Sei answered.

"Just curious." Haruka said and took a bite out of her hot dog.

Suddenly, a feeling over took Michiru. It was like the feelings Rei got when

evil

was around, only weaker. She showed Haruka her henshin pen (English Meaning:

Transformation pen) and mouthed 'danger'. Haruka nodded in understanding.

"Would you teribly mind if Haruka and myself left you here for a few

minutes? I’ve

gotten hungry and want a hot dog and Haruka needs to use the bathroom."

Michiru

declared.

"No, not at all. I’ll be right here." Sei smiled sweetly.

Haruka and Michiru ran into the small woods and took their hensin pens out.

"Neptune Crystal Power! Make Up!" Michiru yelled and, jumping through some

water

waves, transformed into Super Sailor Neptune.

"Uranus Crystal Power! Make Up!" Haruka shouted and, doing some flips and

being

showered by sparkles, metamorphosed into Super Sailor Uranus.

Super Sailor Neptune was clad in aqua-green. She wore an aqua-green skirt,

shoes,

collar, heart shaped pin, choker holding a golden star, tiara gem resting in

a

golden tiara, and short white gloves lined in aqua-green. She front and back

bows,

her back bow reaching her knee, were navy blue.

Super Sailor Uranus was dressed in a navy blue skirt, collar, choker which

displayed a golden star, shoes, heart shaped pin, and short white gloves

lined

in navy blue. Her front bow was bright yellow while the back bow, being navy

blue,

blended in nicely with her costume. Her golden tiara held a light blue

stone.

The two ran in the direction of the negative vibes. In the open field, they

saw a

tall, thin man with pale skin, wispy white shoulder length hair, and pale

blue eyes.

His long, lean body bore a silver shirt and trousers. On his forehead,

beneath the

light tresses, was a sign tattooed on. It was a five pointed black star with

a

silver shadow.

He was hovering over a beautiful young girl, draining her energy. Along with

her

energy, he was also draining her soul. He didn’t merely take his victims’

energy, but their soul, and with that, their life.

"Stop right there!" Uranus shouted.

The man turned towards them and eyed them cooly. He then spoke, his voise as

soft

as the wind, "You addressed me? You don’t even know my name or business, so

how

dare you intrude? Who are you?"

"Invited by a new age, I’m the magnificent Sailor Uranus." Uranus

introduced.

"Aratana jidaini sasowarete, Sailor Neptune, yuuga ni katsuyaku (English

Meaning:

Invited by a new age, Sailor Neptune, standing elegant)!" Neptune announced.

"Well, since we’re on the naming topic, I’m Netroglene (pronounced

Knee-Tro-Glen).

What is your busines?" he asked.

"That’s for us to know and for you to find out!" yelled a new voice and five

more

Senshi appeared from nowhere.

Four of them were dressed pretty much the same, skirts, collars, heart pins,

chokers with stars on them, and bows, while the blonde with the odangos

(English

Meaning: Meatballs, if you may) was out of place. The four Senshi each were

dressed in different colors, one in dark blue with light blue bows, one in

red

with a purple and red bow, one in green with pink bows, and one in orange

with a

yellow and navy blue bow.

The girl with the odangos had wings coming out her back, three skirts, one

yellow,

one red, and the last navy blue, long white gloves lined in red, navy blue

collar,

white boots, a navy blue choker, and pink globes above her gloves.

"Who are you?" Netroglene snarled.

"Ai to Seigi no! Bishoujo no Sailorfuku no Senshi, Sailor Moon! Tsukini

Kawatte

Oshioki yo! (English Meaning: For Love and Justice, I am the pretty Sailor

Suited

Senshi, Sailor Moon! In the name of the Moon, I will punish you)" the one

with the

odangos answered.

Netroglene growled then raised his hand to the sky. A white energy ball

formed and

a gust of wind sent the seven Senshi on their knees. The girl dressed in

green with

dark brown hair held in a high ponytail stood up.

"You’ll pay for that." she announced in a low, threatening voice.

"And you might you be?" Netroglene asked.

"The planet of thunder and lightning is my gaurdien deity! I’m Super Sailor

Jupiter!" she announced, "And I’m gonna show you what a real storm is made

of!"

"Oh?" Netroglene sarcasticlly asked, raising an eyebrow, "Hit me with all

you’ve

got, Jupiter."

"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Super Sailor Jupiter cried.

A small green object that looked like a four (the sign of Jupiter) appeared

in

her hand. Green leaves circled around her, then flew out as green leaves of

energy

which she directed at Netroglene.

Netroglene waited until the leaves were almost upon him, then he countered

the

attack with a gust of wind that sent the leaves flying back at Jupiter. The

attack hit her and she fell to the ground.

By that time, all of the Senshi but Eternal Sailor Moon had awakened. The

one

in red now looked back from Jupiter to Netroglene and her purple eyes

darkened.

She swung around to face Netroglene and her long black hair swayed.

"I am Super Sailor Mars and, on behalf of the fire of Mars, I’ll punish

you!"

the girl declared

"Ah, fire. Now, there’s an element that has a touch of destruction about it.

Alright, Mars, show me your stuff." Netroglene calmly said while taking the

remaining life and energy out of the girl.

"Mars Flame Sniper!" Mars yelled and launched her attack.

As soon as she said that, a small red arrow appeared in her hands. She

formed

that into a large red bow and arrow made of fire. Mars then shot the arrow

at

Netroglene. Netroglene waited patiently until the arrow was fairly close to

him,

then started a hot wind that shot the arrow back at Mars, burning her.

"Anyone else care to try to dance with me?" he asked, eyeing the four

standing

Senshi.

"I’ll douse your heat!" the one with a blue fuku, hair, and eyes announced.

"You?" Netroglene snorted.

"Don’t underestimate me for I am Super Sailor Mercury!" she proclaimed and

positioned her hands infront of her, "Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"

A small blue harp, the Mercury Aqua Harp, appeared in her hand. She created

a

larger blue harp which then she played. It then streamed out water and ice

at

Netroglene. Netroglene, unprepared for the attack and the blow it delt him,

got knocked back. A drop of blood was at the corner of his mouth.

Mercury, taking advantage of her posistion in the fight, prepared to attack

again.

"Mercury Aqua Mirage!" she shouted and a wave of water left her hands for

Netroglene.

Netroglene, though, had recovered and knew the basic tactics of his enemies.

He knew

that if he was down from a blow, his opponent would strike again. Who

wouldn’t take

advantage of his enemy being down? He was ready for her.

He jump acrobatically out of the way of the water wave and left a strong

breeze in

his place to counter the attack. The wave got sent back to Mercury and hit

her,

smashing her into a tree. She slid to the ground, limp.

The blonde Senshi looked at her friends, terror and anger filling her blue

eyes.

She turned her full attention on Netroglene.

"You’ll pay for doing that to my friends." she threatened.

"I’m sure. Just in case, who are you?" Netroglene asked, his phrase already

familiar to the Senshi.

"You’re thinking I’m just another pretty blonde. In my case, what you see is

definately not what you get, Sailor V is for victory! I’m Super Sailor

Venus!"

she declared.

"You read my mind, Venus. Alright, let’s see what the Goddess of Beauty has

up

her sleeve." Netroglene challenged.

Venus nodded, accepting his challenge. "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" she

yelled, forming a golden heart wreath in her opened palms and blew it at

Netroglene.

He caught the wreath in a cyclone and perfectly threw it back at Venus. It

hit

her dead on and she fell ontop of Mars. Uranus and Neptune watched the whole

scene

in terror as each of their friends were struck down effortlessly. Eternal

Sailor

Moon wasn’t even twitching.

Uranus held up one finger, then a second, then a third. It was a silent

countdown

and, at Uranus’ nod, they attacked simultaneously.

"Space Turbulence!" Uranus yelled and launched her attack.

"Submarine Violin Tide!" Neptune shouted and her attack joined Uranus’.

Netroglene, unprepared for a double blow, got slammed into the tree behind

him.

He slid on the ground and then, after a couple of minutes, slowly opened his

light

blue eyes. He was greeted by five Senshi watching him. Three he recognised

as

Eternal Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Neptune and Uranus. The other two were

new

to him.

One was by far the shortest with short black hair and violet eyes. She wore

a

purple skirt, choker with a golden star on it, collar, heart pin, stone in

her

golden tiara, and lace up boots. Her bows were black. In her left hand she

held a

menancing looking pole resebling the Grim Riper’s own staff.

The second was the tallest with long green hair left loose minus a bun and

red eyes.

Her skirt, choker , collar, heart pin, and boots were all black. Her heart

pin and

tiara gem were red and her bows were brown. In her right hand she held a

blue pole

resembling a key.

"Wh-who are . . . you?" Netroglene choked out, pretending to be seriously

hurt when

all he had was a mild headache.

"I am the soldier of eternity, Super Sailor Pluto!" the tall one announced.

"I am the messenger from the depths of death. Carrier of the protection of

the planet of ruin, Saturn. The soldier of silence, Super Sailor Saturn."

the

short one clad in purple announced.

"Glad to make your acquaintance!" Netroglene roared and jumped up into the

air.

He spread open his hands over the Senshi and chuckled, "Now lets see how

you’ll

get me after I’ve dried you of evry single speck of your worthless energy!"

"Silence Glaive Surprise!" Saturn exclaimed.

She raised the Silence Glaive to the sky where it glowed with purple energy,

then she slamed it to the ground. The attack itself was silent and in black

and

white (like a silent movie), but the aftermath was a huge explosion.

Netroglene made a protective shield of wind which kept him from getting

hurt. He

then opened his palms one more time, sending thin silver threads out to each

Senshi. He then chuckled and began draining them of life and energy.

"I . . . feel like . . . my soul is . . . leaving my b-body." Eternal Sailor

Moon

sputtered.

"S-same." agreed Pluto.

"We’re all g-going . . . to . . . die." whispered Saturn.

"How right you are!!! At least we’re finally seeing things the same

way."chortled

Netroglene.

"Too bad I don’t see the same way as you!" a new voice called.

Netroglene turned to see who said that and didn’t see anything. "Who said

that?"

he snapped, his hold on the Senshi loosing a bit.

"I did." the same voice called and a girl walked out of the shadows.

She had green hair held in two sections and tied at the bottom with an

orange and

red bow. Her eyes were dark brown and warm and on her forehed was a ten

pointed

light star. An odd thing about her was that her ears were pointed. The girl

wore

a fuku slightly resembling the Amazoness Quartet’s. Her cross over top was

yellow

and trimmed in white. Her skirt was also yellow, as was the ribbon on her

wrists.

Her boots started just where her skirt finished and where white with a

yellow band

at the top.

"Who are you?" Netroglene repeated his favourite question.

"Let an honest soul guide you, and you shall find Heaven. Let an honest AND

pure

soul guide you and you shall find me! Sailor Apollo, may the truth be with

you!"

the girl answered.

"God . . . how corny." Uranus managed to gag out.

"I come here to rescue you and you ridicule me?" Apollo sharply asked

Uranus.

"Apollo? You look strangely familiar." Netroglene muttered, his hold

loosening

some more on the Senshi.

"I seem to have that affect on people these days. Release your hold on

them."

ordered Apollo.

Netroglene looked at here as though she were crazy and scoffed.

"Fine, have it your way. I don’t like using force, but I see that’s the way

it

must be. Apollo Shining Honesty Light!" yelled Apollo.

She stood with her legs together, her arms at her sides with her palms out,

and

then she raised her arms up above her head and straightened her palms. Her

hands

were a few inches apart. In that space, a white light beam formed. Apollo

then

put her hands in front of her and released the beam toward Netroglene.

It hit him in the middle of the chest and he lost control of the Senshi and

his floatation stability. He fell to the ground with a hard thud. He opened

his

eyes and sent a gust of wind at Apollo, pushing her back but doing no

visible damage.

"Netroglene, you don’t stand a chance against me!" Apollo announced while

holding

back against the wind.

Netroglene snarled and mentally commanded his sword to appear infront of

him. He

whipped it around him a few times, slicing some thick branches off the near

by tree.

It was an impressive sowrd. The blade was long and sharp enough to cut a

hair and

the handle was silver with a lot of fancy designs, including a black star

with a

silver shadow.

"You want to play with swords? Fine." Apollo said and dramaticlly sighed.

With a swift movement of her right hand, she held a white sword. The handle

was

shiny and had a ten pointed star engraved in it.

"Lets play." Apollo said.

The two joined in combat. Netroglene was good, but not one tenth as good as

Apollo. Every time he tried to hit her, she managed to hit him. After a good

deal

of battle, his silver clothing was red with blood.

"I say we stop this battle." suggested Jupiter.

"I say you’re right. Dead Scream." Pluto whispered and produced a massive

sonic

scream that stopped both Sailor Apollo and Netroglene.

Uranus produced her own sword and, pointing it at Apollo, yelled, "Space

Sword

Buster!"

Uranus held her sword above her head then swung it downward.  A bright light

then

emitted from the sword and a ring of light flew at Apollo.  This normally

would

have trapped the and destroyed her, but Apollo craftily jumped out of the

way of

the light.

That small distraction allowed Netrglene just enough time to teleport

himself away.

A whirlwind formed around him and he disappeared. All Senshi turned to where

Netroglene had been.

"Shimatta (English Meaning: Damn)! We could of had him but he slipped

between our

fingers like . . . like . . ." Mars, now conscious, gripped for the correct

terminology.

"Melted ice-cream?" Sailor Moon suggested.

"Exactly!" Mars exclaimed.

"You missed your chance to get him because you do not trust your allies.

Trust is

very important if the Dark Nova Empire is to go down. Farewell." Apollo said

and,

with a quick movement, was out of the Senshi’s sight.

"We missed her too!" Uranus groaned.

"I think she’s on our side." Mercury quietly said as she got up.

"Yes, I feel like I know her prescence." Mars agreed, "Perhaps she’s from

the

past? A part that is blacked out to all of us?"

"But how did she know that Netroglene is a henchman for the Dark Nova

Empire?"

Pluto asked.

"She has more memory then us. Maybe the Dark Nova Empire is also from the

past,

like the NegaVerse." Venus suggested.

"Can we continue this discussion some other time? Neptune and I have

something

to attend to." Uranus said and, taking Neptune’s hand, walked away.

They powered down while walking. On the way, Michiru bought a hot dog and

Haruka

a soda. When they got to the bench, they found Sei deeply involved in a book

on

astronomy.

"Sei?" Michiru asked.

Sei raised her eyes slowly and smiled, then frowned. "Where were you? You’ve

been

gone half an hour!" she scolded.

"Sorry. The line at the washroom was tremendously long." Michiru apologised

sheepishly.

"Yeah, and when we got to the hot dog stand there were no more done hot dogs

so we

had to wait while the man barbequed some more. Gomen nasai (English Meaning:

I’m

sorry), we’ll be quicker next time." Haruka said.

"Alright. Well, lets get going. It’s starting to get darker." Sei said and

stood up.

The other two nodded and they continued on to Michiru and Haruka’s condo,

all three

chatting happily.



                                    * * *



Hovering over Tokyo was a black star surrounded by an invisibility shield.

In the

center of this star was a grand throne room made of black crystal. A few

steps

above the floor was a black throne. Sitting in it was a woman with black

eyes and

wearing a long black evening gown with a low back and spaghetti starps. The

only

thing of light about her was her waist length, wavy white hair. On her

forehead was

a black star with a silver shadow.

She was resting her head on one hand while impatiently tapping her finger of

the

other hand on an arm of her throne. Her black eyes stared into empiness as

she

awaited the arrival of Netroglene.

~Where is that idiot? How long does it take him to gather the energy of a

few measly people?~ she thought in iritation.

Just then, a whirlwind appeared infront of her. After it died down,

Netroglene

appeared. His clothing was drenched with blood and stuck on him. He fell to

his

knees and looked up at the woman, pain filling his eyes.

"Well?" the woman sharply asked. She seemed to take no notice of the fact

that

he was in bad shape and cut all over.

"I met the Sailor Senshi of this solar system, Queen Tamashino (English

Meaning:

Queen of Soul), and Sailor Apollo. I beleive she is one of the Elfin

Scouts."

Netroglene replied weakly.

"Of course she is, you . . . you . . . KETSU (English Meaning: Ass, as in

your

but)!!! She’s the leader!!! YOU DIDN’T EVEN KILL HER!!!! If you had only

desposed

of her, it would have been SO much easier to get rid of the rest of them!"

Queen

Tamashino yelled.

She got up and started pacing the floor infront of her throne. She cursed

under her

breathe continually. She finally stopped and looked Netroglene in the eye.

It was a

look that would send shivers down Death’s own back. Netroglene nearly

crumbled

under that look.

"Go to Strichilla (pronounced Stry-Chee-La) and get your wounds healed. Tell

her

to give you whatever herbs she has up her sleeve so you’ll heal as fast as

possible. When you do heal, you’ll go down and capture, if not kill, Apollo

and the

Sailor Senshi. Understood?" Tamashino inquired, her voice as cold as the

North Pole.

Netroglene nodded meekly. "Yes, my Queen."

With that, he disapeared and left the queen to her own thoughts.
