Last time on Sailor Moon Eternity: // "Try the crystal, Usagi-chan!" Minako suggested. "OK, here we go. Moon Cosmic Power, Make Up!" Like Haruka and Makoto's attempts, not a single thing happened. Usagi frowned. "Let me try that again." This time, she put all her effort into it. "MOON COSMIC POWER, MAKE UP!" She didn't transform, but something else happened. The crystal began glowing, and changing colors. The glow enveloped everyone, including Mamoru. Everyone lost consciousness in the curious glare of the Silver Crystal. // And now, on with the story... -**- The glow just seemed to go on forever. Usagi Tsukino couldn't tell how long she had been unconscious, but she guessed it was a very long time. The bright light faded. Usagi was laying on the ground, where, she couldn't tell. Everyone, including Mamoru, was laying on the ground as well, spread across a large area. She got up, slowly. Looking around, Usagi saw many ruins around her. Fallen columns, pillars, buildings, it was all a mess. Somehow, she knew this place. Then it hit her. She was at home, in the Moon Kingdom. Around her, the others started waking up as well. "What happened?" Michiru asked, holding her head. "We were transported by the Silver Crystal to the Moon Kingdom." A familiar voice came from behind them. Sure enough, Luna and Artemis were there. "Luna? Artemis? How did you get here?" Ami asked. Artemis answered. "We were watching you fight. We figured that if the eyes reappeared, we shouldn't be seen. After the warp vanished, we were walking over to see you. That's when you initiated the transport." "Well, why shouldn't you have been seen, and how did I initiate transport?" Usagi asked. "I'll explain that to you very shortly." A calm, friendly, familiar voice came from behind them again. The Senshi turned around, and Luna and Artemis walked up to the source of the voice. The figure who stood there was immediately recognizable. "Mother!" Usagi whispered. The Outer Senshi knelt. "Queen Serenity." Even Setsuna, who was still a little high, went along. "I am glad to see that you are all here, even you, Prince Endymion." Mamoru bowed. "Pleasure to see you again, Queen Serenity." When Usagi looked at him, she noted he was wearing his old armor. She suddenly noticed that she was wearing her dress again. "Why were we brought back here?" the Princess asked. "Something has happened which I have been fearing for a very long time, my daughter. It is the return of our greatest foe." Luna spoke. "You probably wouldn't remember, Usagi. The last time they attacked was when you were a baby. None of the others would recall, either. They weren't much older than you were at the time." "Serenity, Sailor Senshi, let me tell you a story. It all began when I was a princess..." Queen Serenity began saying. -**- The Moon Kingdom was always peaceful. We were the guardians of Earth, helping to to grow properly. There was no danger whatsoever. There weren't even any problems on the Earth. My mother had been teaching me the power of the Silver Crystal. She told me that although it was very powerful, it was limited compared to one ancient crystal. She didn't tell me the name of it, though. The Dark Kingdom wasn't around yet, so we really didn't have any enemies. But, one day, that all changed. The Kingdom had been aware of the possibility of other dimensions, other realities. But we had never expected to see one like the first alternate reality we discovered. The Kingdom was not really wanting to go jump about other dimensions, for should we encounter something aggressive, it might endanger us. They came at us from nowhere, or so it seemed. They came so quickly it was a complete surprise. Never had I seen so much aggressive behaviour, and I wouldn't again until the day of the Dark Kingdom attack. They fought hard, but we fought back even harder. It became a showdown: my mother versus the leader of the other forces. Finally, Queen Serenity of that time placed the Silver Crystal in the Moon Stick, and wielded the mightiest power ever known. It drove them back as quickly as they had come. Their ruler had been destroyed; my mother was on the verge of death. The use of the Silver Crystal was devastating to her. During the battle, Queen Serenity had instructed me to remain in the castle. When I saw her fall, though, I ran to her side. She passed the Moon Stick and Silver Crystal on to me, and as she did, I became the Queen. She passed on minutes later. In those few minutes, though, I learned what I needed to know so I might prepare for the next encounter, for they would not give up until they had control of our dimension. She told me that the next time, the Silver Crystal would not help. I was required to find that ancient crystal, buried in myth. Many in our Kingdom doubted it still existed. I had to try, for the sake of all our lives. She also told me the identity of the attackers. Since I had not seen them, I didn't know who they were. It took me a very long time to find it. When I first held it, I could feel the immense power thrumming from it. My mother had been right. I was the first in over 10 generations to hold the Eternity Crystal. A few months after you had been born, Serenity, the second attack came. Once again, they came from out of nowhere. It was a shock to us all. The Sailor Senshi who served before the 8 of you were your mothers. They had served valiantly in my mother's court, and for a short time in my court, held them off long enough for me to retrieve the new crystal from its holding place. The 8 of you were around my own daughter's age. Then, we received yet another surprise. But this one, however, was good. The Royal Family of Earth had come to our assistance, led by Prince Endymion's father. The massive army of humans and Senshi helped fend off the attack. I didn't bother to see the faces of the attackers. The crystal was floating in the air between my hands. It had a soft glow to it. Finally, the leader of the enemy approached, wearing a dark cloak, and wielding a version of the Moon Stick. Upon it was a Silver Crystal of their own dimension. As she came closer, I could see that it was like the Silver Crystal. My foe lowered the hood of the cloak. I never saw a sight that could terrify me as much as that one did. It was my own face. She stood there, glaring at me. She had my own face, but yet it wasn't my face. It had a hard, evil expression permanently etched into it. Her eyes burned with hatred and anger. The crescent Moon shape on her forehead was black. My counterpart. It was a standoff. I am not entirely too sure how long we were there before we engaged each other in battle. My counterpart raised the Moon Stick over her head. Its handle was a glossy black, and looked to have an evil purpose. She spoke. "Give up now, Serenity. You won't win. You know it." "Quite on the contrary. The last time you attacked, we fended you off. We can do the same this time. I have the greater power." "We'll see then. This is your last chance to surrender. I'd hate to see you be destroyed." "Sorry," I said sarcastically. The fire in her eyes burned even harder. "Moon Devastation Attack!" I watched calmly as her Crystal flared. Black bolts of energy lashed out from it. I held my own Moon Stick, and placed the Eternity Crystal in it. I raised the Stick like she had, and quietly said "Moon Eternity Banish." As I began to say those words, she had aimed the stick right at me. After I finished uttering the saying that would return them to their own place, her eyes widened in fear. She knew which crystal had been placed in the Stick. A glowing barrier blinked into existence around me. I slowly brought the Stick down, and aimed it right at her. Small green beams flashed across the Eternity Crystal's surface, and leapt outward. She got caught in one, and phased out of our dimension. Once again, I raised it above my head, and put more power into it. The beams grew larger, and a small globe formed around the crystal. It was quite a sight. The globe grew bigger and bigger. I repeated the words, and the globe lifted off the crystal, and floated a little higher, then expanded. It covered everything in the Kingdom. The energy of the Crystal sent anything that didn't belong in our dimension back to its own. The attack was over. Life returned to normal over the next month, and damage caused by the attack was repaired. I thanked Endymion's father for the assistance he gave to us. The Sailor Senshi and I agreed that the Eternity Crystal's individual power was much to strong to remain in its whole form. So, we separated it into nine pieces- one for each Senshi, and one for the current ruler of the Kingdom. To enhance the power of the individual Senshi, to increase attack power, we also made the Eternal Talismans, small pieces of jewelry which would hold each senshi's Eternity Stone. -**- "They hadn't returned since, although we did send spies through, just to be safe. Queen Beryl's attack in this dimension was a rebellion of sorts in that one. Queen Metallia's power was hardly enough. The same thing happened there as did here, but in the mirror dimension, Beryl attacked almost simultaneously. Our spies returned just as Luna and Artemis ran through the kingdom, warning us of the attack. The alternate Beryl and her forces were also destroyed. "Now, I believe that since Queen Serenity of that dimension was vanquished as I was, her daughter was reborn on Earth and rules the once-fallen Moon Empire. Your counterpart, Serenity." The Queen finished. Usagi put her hand over her mouth to try to hide her shock. The Queen spoke again. "The pieces of the Crystal, which we called the Eternity Stones, were hidden. If all of you recover them, you can regain your lost powers. In the meantime, I can give you all your Eternal Talismans, and new, special wands which will permit you to transform and become the Sailor Senshi once again. Each of these wands carries a leftover piece of the Eternity Crystal after it was separated, and therefore is nearly impossible to drain power from." "Queen Serenity," Chibi-Usa began, "what about me?" "Since you were not a member of the Senshi when this happened, and since Sailor Saturn is currently not present, you may take her Talisman. Also, I have a wand for you." "Once we have these wands, how do we go about finding the Stones?" Haruka inquired. "The Talismans know where the stones are located. Each of you must pass a small test, though, to prove that you are indeed the Sailor Senshi. This test is different for each of you. All you must do to start your quest, is to hold the Talisman and say 'Eternity Quest'." They nodded their acknowledgement. "Before I give them to you, I would suggest that only a couple of you go on a Quest at one time. Should the Empire strike, we need the Sailor Senshi." "We understand." Usagi said. "Very well. Sailor Chibi-Moon," she turned to the small pink-haired girl, "This is Sailor Saturn's Talisman, the Silence Bracelet." Queen Serenity gestured, and a bracelet exactly Chibi-Usa's size materialized. She pulled it from the air where it hung, and examined it. It was solid all the way around, and had the Crescent Moon symbol etched into it. There was also a small groove in it. "What's the groove for?" Chibi-Usa asked. "That is where you can place the Silence Stone. Once there, your power will increase vastly. Now, your wand, the Star Wand." A small wand flared into existence, floating in front of Chibi-Usa. It was a pink tone. It had a handle which a normal-sized hand could easily fit around, and a head with a pink, translucent jewel. The Crescent Moon symbol was engraved into its side. Chibi-Usa took it gingerly. "Sailor Pluto, the Time Wand." A wand appeared in front of Setsuna. The color was an extreme dark green. "Ooh, pretty." She snatched it from the air and examined it. The P-like symbol of Pluto was engraved in the handle, much like on the Star Wand. It was obvious to her friends that she was still in that haze. And in turn, she gave a wand to each of them, save Usagi. Sailor Neptune had the Water Wand (deep blue); Sailor Uranus, the Earth Wand (bright yellow); Sailor Venus, the Love Wand (deep orange); Sailor Jupiter had the Thunder Wand (deep green); Sailor Mars, the Fire Wand (red); and Sailor Mercury had the Ice Wand (light blue). She also, in turn, gave them their Talismans, again not giving Usagi hers. Sailor Mercury had the Ice Pendant (which was attached to a necklace), Sailor Mars got the Fire Bracelet (like Chibi-Usa's), Sailor Jupiter became the proud owner of the Thunder Pendant (also attached to a necklace), Sailor Venus received the Love Earrings, Sailor Uranus received the Earth Ring, Sailor Neptune the Water Ring, and Sailor Pluto the Time Earrings. Each Talisman had the symbol of each Senshi engraved into it. Queen Serenity turned to her daughter. "Serenity, this is the Royal Family's wand. The Moon Wand." It materialized in front of the princess. It was a glossy white. Usagi gently plucked it from the air. "Also, the Moon Locket." A small heart-shaped locket appeared. Usagi took it too, and put it around her neck with the chain attached to it. Each of the other Senshi wore their Talismans as well. "Mother, will I be able to use the Grail?" the Princess queried. "I honestly can't say. It's conceivable. You won't know until you try." "To answer your first questions, if Luna and Artemis were seen by your mirror self, she would realize that you had my help. As for how you started the teleport, if the Silver Crystal ever lost its energy, it would bring you here so that I might aid you." "I see." Usagi said. "Now, do well, Sailor Senshi." Queen Serenity encouraged them. "Find the Stones, and protect the planet." The bright light flared once again. When it faded, they saw that they were back in the same park as where they started. -**- The Queen, Serenity, sat triumphantly on her throne. The Sailor Senshi were now out of the way, and she was free to take the Earth of that dimension. Nothing could stop the Moon Empire now. "Sailor Neptune!" she called. A tall, respectable girl with green hair approached. "Yes, Queen Serenity?" "Prepare another youma from our forces. Let it terrorize the city of Tokyo so the Sailor Senshi can sit there, helpless. I want to humiliate them before we invade." Neptune's lips curved up slightly. "As you wish, my Queen." -**- "That explained so much." Minako said quietly. "So, who goes first?" "Maybe we should wait and try these out first," Ami suggested. "Agreed." Rei stated. Ami's computer shrieked. "Another one?" Artemis asked incredulously. "It looks that way, Artemis." Ami replied, opening the computer to look at the readings. "In... That direction!" Ami pointed to the north. "Let's go!" Haruka called back to the others, already running in the direction Ami had pointed to. -**- From their vantage point on a rooftop, the Senshi looked at the new foe. It was a half-lion, half-man creature, breathing all sorts of fire. Rei rubbed her hands together in anticipation. "My kind of enemy!" she said with a grin. "Let's go!" Usagi said. "Mercury Eternity Power, Make Up!" The Ice Wand erupted in a burst of snow which flew around the silhouette of Ami. It kept blowing faster and faster until it solidified into her uniform. It was pretty much the same as the standard uniform, but the ribbon at the back was longer, much like when Usagi became Super Sailor Moon, and was the color of her skirt. The skirt was still the dark blue color it had always been. The small round button that resided on the bow on the chest was now a silver color, and had the Mercury symbol engraved in blue on it. Her Ice Pendant hung around her neck, too. "Mars Eternity Power, Make Up!" Rei's Fire Wand blasted lava, which flowed over her form, and formed her uniform. It was like Ami's uniform, but with red tones and the Mars Symbol instead. The uniform would be that way for each of the Senshi, with their own respective colors on it. "Jupiter Eternity Power, Make Up!" The Thunder Wand produced a dark cloud as Makoto spun around. The cloud hovered above her and erupted in a thunderstorm. The bolts of lightning solidified into Makoto's uniform as they touched her. "Venus Eternity Power, Make Up!" Now the Love Wand shot small stars into the air. Minako spun around, and held the wand above her. They washed over her like a shower, revealing her uniform. "Uranus Eternity Power, Make Up!" Haruka pointed the wand in the air, made a circle, and leapt into the air through the yellow circle. As she rose, the circle slammed against the ground, causing earth to fly up. Haruka turned downwards, and dove into the swirling maelstrom. She leapt up again, wearing her uniform, as the earth reformed beneath her. It seemed odd, because one would expect that her uniform was dirty from all that soil... "Neptune Eternity Power, Make Up!" Michiru performed the same actions as Haruka. Except, instead of diving into earth, she dove into water. She jumped out of the pool of water wearing her uniform. "Pluto Eternity Power, Make Up!" The Time Wand held in the air, she did precisely the same actions as her two friends. When she jumped into the air, she jumped through a clock face, and when she dove, Setsuna went through a pool of smoke. She jumped out just in time, uniform on, mist around her. She also held her beloved Time Staff beside her, proudly. Then she noticed something: the Garnet Orb, which usually sat on top of the Staff, was replaced by an almost identical head, but rather than two hearts on top of each other, there were two stars. How odd. "Chibi-Moon Eternity Power, Make Up!" Chibi-Usa held the Star Wand and pointed at the ground around her as she turned. Small hearts materialized underneath her as the Wand passed each spot over. After a complete circle, the hearts blew upward, encompassing the small girl. They blew away, revealing Sailor Chibi-Moon. "Moon Eternity Power, Make Up!" Usagi's Moon Wand flashed briefly, and ribbons began flowing from it, ending after a couple of meters. There were many ribbons, fluttering in the air, then spontaneously encircling the teenage girl. Finally they came so close to her they dissolved, showing Sailor Moon for all to see. "Excellent," Haruka commented. "I think I'll keep this wand for a while..." She smiled. "Mamo-chan," Sailor Moon began, "You be careful when you come down." "I will, Usako. Watch out for flying roses." The masked man grinned. -**- The ruler of the Moon Empire laughed. She was having so much fun humiliating the Sailor Senshi, she wished it would never end. Looking at the column where her latest gift to Earth was being displayed, she laughed harder. -**- People were running. Fast. Anything to get away from that hideous monster. The streets were quickly emptying, soon to leave nothing but tumbleweeds and one fire-breathing monster behind. The pavement was scorched. The panic-stricken citizens were getting singed by the creature. The Senshi had split up on the rooftops above. Sailor Neptune saw the scene, and asked herself, "Why does this remind of those old movies with the gigantic monsters?" On the street below, Dragonlion was having some of the best fun he'd ever had. Turning his head to the right and blowing fire, he made a car explode into tiny pieces. His fun was abruptly ended by a voice calling from the rooftops above. "When the fires of evil are burning the streets of Tokyo, I'm always there to help things cool down!" A figure jumped from a perch on the building to Dragonlion's right. "I am Sailor Mercury!" "You may be able to wield fire well, but the evil way is no way at all. Let me teach you how to use it properly!" A brunette landed beside Mercury. "I am Sailor Mars!" "When all things bad threaten the good things in life, the loud sounds of thunder will be there to frighten them away!" A tall brunette landed. "I am Sailor Jupiter!" "Hate may be a powerful ally for most, but nothing, and I mean nothing, can stand in the way of the power of love!" A blonde leapt down. "Make way for Sailor Venus!" "You may abuse the ground below you, but never forget the troubles that it can cause you. I'm here to make sure you don't forget!" A blonde with short hair landed behind him. "Never forget Sailor Uranus!" "Few things in the world around us can clean up trouble. Water is by far the most powerful of those cleaners around! I intend to use it!" A girl with green hair dropped from the sky. "Sailor Neptune!" Setsuna, still somewhat high, but recovering, surprisingly made it through her speech and acrobatics. "The flow of time has brought about many bad things, but time always flushes them out!" A tall woman came down. "The guardian of time, Sailor Pluto!" She held the Time Staff beside her. "These people on the streets are not here for your target practice, or your fun! I won't forgive you!" A voice from Dragonlion's right yelled. Someone on his left was shouting too. "Neither will I!" They leapt down. On his left was a small pink-haired girl. On his right, a blonde girl with two odangos. The pink one continued speaking. "The Soldier for Love," "-And for Justice!" The blonde finished the sentence. "Sailor Moon!" "And Sailor Chibi-Moon!" The pink-haired girl finished. -**- The Queen's insane laughter stopped almost as abruptly as it began. "What the-?" The ruler of the Empire stared in amazement as none other than the Sailor Senshi showed up. "It can't be! We drained their transformation energy!" She stood up and began pacing. Somehow, they had gotten their powers back. "Sailor Mercury!" She screamed. A blue-haired Senshi walked up to the platform where the throne was. "Yes, my Queen?" "Lock onto the Sailor Senshi again! They are *still* *here*!" She was frantic. They would ruin everything she had planned. "Of course, my Queen." -**- Sailor Moon continued. "On behalf of the Moon, you're gonna get it!" Dragonlion laughed mercilessly at them. "You won't defeat me like you did my predecessors. I'm the one of the strongest of the Moon Empire's forces!" "We've taken them down, and we can take you too!" Sailor Venus stated. "I'd like to see you try!!" As he said the last word, he jumped into the air, and bore down on Sailor Mars. "Bad move, youma!" Sailor Venus yelled. She held her hand up in the air. "Stardust..." Small, yellow stars formed around her body in a column of yellow light. "Spark Shower!" She thrust her hands in front of her body, and the yellow stars flew along her arms and towards Dragonlion. The stars expanded into a cone of yellow light. When they impacted against the monster, they exploded. Dragonlion staggered around. "Thanks, Venus!" Sailor Mars called. Minako nodded in acknowledgment. Dragonlion turned towards Sailor Venus, and started to breathe fire at her. Sailor Mercury, on the other hand, had already started her attack. She was holding her arms straight out with her palms up, and yelled "Mercury Frosty..." A blue aura covered her, and snow began whipping around her in a cyclone, becoming very dense. "Whirlwind!" She crossed her arms, and the cyclone moved from her to the youma, extinguishing the fire coming from its mouth, and freezing Dragonlion at the same time. The cyclone faded, and a very frozen monster remained there. "Extinguishing of the youma, part two," Sailor Neptune said. She held her arms up to the sky, and closed her eyes. "Deliquescent..." A greenish-blue light enveloped her as a stream of water shot from a diamond-shaped concentration of energy in her hands up to the sky as far as the eye could see. "Liquefication!" she yelled as she moved her hands down to aim at the youma. The stream of water knocked it back hard, then the youma seemed to turn into water. The youma was stunned - sort of. It wasn't really a youma anymore. When it tried to move, it only lost some water. Then the creature reformed, missing a finger. Where the finger had been was a patch of skin. He tried to breathe some fire, but found he couldn't at the moment. Instead, Dragonlion charged at Sailor Mars. Again. Sailor Mars held her hands in front of her as if she was shooting the fire rings from her burning mandala attack. Rather, she said "Flaming Mist!" A black smoke poured from a dark sphere in front of her hands. The mist spread quickly, covering the ground where Dragonlion was charging. He stopped and looked warily at the mist. Nothing happened. He laughed. "You call that an attack??" it asked in bewilderment. Rei nodded. "Yes." And she smiled at it and winked. "ENGULF!" The mist exploded in a fireball the likes of which Tokyo had never seen before. The Senshi had to cover their eyes briefly because of the bright flash. The fire smoldered to nothing, revealing a singed youma. Sailor Jupiter snuck up behind Dragonlion, who didn't know she was there until she yelled "Fatal Static Burst!" Blue energy coalesced on her hands, and when he whirled around, she clamped her hands on his shoulders and the energy discharged, electrocuting him. Dragonlion fell to the ground, singed. He tried to get up, but kept falling back down. Haruka held her arms in the air, much like Michiru did. "Seismic..." she began, and a yellow diamond-shaped concentration of energy formed in her hands. "Spikes!" The diamond shot little yellow beams at the ground. The ground started shaking violently. Stalagmites shot up from the once-flat ground. The creature had a hard time not falling onto the sharp spikes in the ground. He lost that battle, and fell on them with loud screams of pain. The spikes fell back into the ground, and the shaking stopped. Sailor Pluto (who seemed to have regained control of herself) held the Time Staff in the air. "Whispering Door," she said quietly. As she spoke those words, a purple diamond formed on the head of the staff. It shot a small bolt of energy above the creature's head, and the diamond vanished at the same time everyone heard whispers. Dragonlion got up, thinking that Sailor Pluto had missed. The whispers increased, and the youma looked around for the source. Then he looked up, only to see black tendrils falling from a dark portal above him. The creature screamed as the tendrils covered him from head to toe. The tendrils retreated, leaving a very scared creature behind. Dragonlion collapsed again, this time from extreme shock. "This thing takes quite a beating!" Jupiter said in amazement. "The Empire's creatures really can stand up against our powers," Sailor Mars agreed. -**- "Sailor Mars!" The girl in red cringed at the summoning. She turned around, her face the perfect example of courage. "Yes, my Queen?" "Send another youma over. If we can take out the Senshi now, it still might be possible to conquer their Earth." "I live to serve, my Queen." -**- Dragonlion tried to move. It was difficult, but he was able to stand. Sort of. He was swaying all over the place. He attempted a breath of fire at the Senshi, but was too drained. "Now, to keep him from doing anything he's not supposed to!" Sailor Chibi-Moon said. "Ribbon..." The Star Wand pulsed as ribbons fell from the tip of the wand. The ribbons flailed around the wand and Chibi-Usa. "Entangle!" The ribbons, with a new purpose, flew free of the wand and wrapped themselves around Dragonlion. The creature fell over trying to free himself. Suddenly, the temperature around them dropped drastically. Everyone turned to look at Sailor Mercury, but she just shrugged and said, "It wasn't me!" The street turned to ice. "No, I was the one!" A humanoid monster with a wolf's head jumped from its perch on an awning, landing beside its companion. Usagi had to restrain herself from laughing. First a lion who breathed fire, now a wolf that could freeze things. These monsters just kept getting cheesier. "You're messing with the wrong Senshi!" Sailor Mars yelled. "Flaming Mist!" The black cloud again filled the street. The wolf stood there. Just before Rei yelled "Engulf!" he leapt out of the mist, and knocked Sailor Moon down. She hadn't attacked yet, so he assumed that she was the weakest. Just before he could freeze her in ice, a rose landed in his path. He stepped back, temporarily startled, and looked for the thrower. A man dressed in a snappy tuxedo jumped from another awning. "Tuxedo Kamen-sama!" the Senshi yelled. He spoke. "Leave her alone; she's done nothing to you. You are the invader, the one who is a threat. Go back to where you come from, and leave the people of earth to go about their business." The wolf stared at Tuxedo Kamen. He started to leap onto him, but was interruptedby someone yelling "Stardust Spark Shower!" and hundreds of small stars exploding on him. The wolf fell to the ground, stunned. "Now to make you leave our dimension permanently!" Sailor Moon said. She held the Moon Wand, tip up, in front of her and closed her eyes. "Moon," she began, the wand beginning to glitter. "Wand," different colors began flashing on the wand. She opened her eyes. "BANISH!" Colors erupted from the tip and sprayed into the air. Sailor Moon turned in a circle, now holding it tip outwards, covering everything around her. She finished her circle with the wand aimed at Dragonlion and the wolf. Caught in the colors of the wand, Dragonlion and the wolf exploded in smoke. The wand's spray of colors stopped. -**- "What do you mean, 'we can't lock onto them'?" Queen Serenity demanded. "My Queen, they have become Sailor Senshi using a type of energy I have never seen before." Sailor Mercury calmly replied. "Since we have never encountered this energy, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to start a drain cycle on them." The Queen's fury seemed to die down. "Very well," she said quietly, "we will have to take care of them the old-fashioned way." -**- To Be Continued in Episode 4...
