"Moon Light Slice!" Cried out a voice. A moon shaped beam of light shot out from the trees, slamming into Opposite Saturn’s chest. Clarissa's eyes widened in happiness and quickly she told the others that the Knights had arrived. She then cried out as Opposite Pluto arrived. "C'mon Rei-chan!" She grabbed her friends’ hand and ran into the forest quickly.

Moon Knight calmly watched Opposite Pluto help Opposite Saturn back to his feet. The young man was coughing, stunned from the impact of the attack on his chest. Earth Knight stepped up beside him, and behind the two princes ranged the rest of the Knights.

Opposite Pluto turned, snarling, his eyes flashing with anger above his scarf. "Traitors prepare to die!" He yelled, summoning his attack. "Dark Death Sonic Wave!"

All five Knights jumped out of the way and were about to attack when two female voices yelled out their own attacks.

"Mars Destruction FIRE!!"

"Living Earth!!"

Roots and branches burst into the clearing, forming a wall around the attack keeping it from hurting anyone else while a ball of white hot fire struck Opposite Pluto.

Opposite Pluto yelled out in pain as Sailor's Earth and Mars jumped from the trees, landing amongst the Knights.

"We won't let you win, we will destroy you for Our King!" Opposite Saturn snarled as he caught his breath again, standing in front of the burnt Opposite Pluto.

Jupiter Knight laughed. "I think we already have! Two against 8! The odds are with us!" He proclaimed making Venus Knight snicker behind his hand.

"We may not know you but we know what’s it's like to be misled into evil! We will defeat you and turn you back to our side!" Sailor Earth proclaimed.

"Minna! Attack!" Moon Knight ordered. "Moon!" The crescent moons on his forehead and armor started to glow silver. "Light!" The light gathered in front of him, slowly forming into a crescent moon as he held his hands on either side of it. "Slice!" He finished and the beam of light left his hands shooting towards Opposite Saturn and Opposite Pluto.

Earth Knight followed the Prince of the Moon quickly. "Rose!" The rose imprinted over his heart on his armor began to glow. "Sword!" The rose shafted out from his chest in a beam of light and formed a long sword with a red rose on the blade, still glowing. "STORM!" He finished the attack. He raised the shining sword over his head. The afternoon sunshine glinted off it and a beam of light and rose petals shot towards the two Opposites alongside moon Knights attack.

The other four knights nodded at each other.

"Mercury Musical!" Mercury Knight strummed some cords on his guitar, causing a series of water droplets to swirl around his body as he leaned his head back, closing his eyes and grinning. "ICE HAZE!" The water formed into a rushing tsunami.

"Mars!" Mars Knight lifted his arm with the crossbow on it as he spoke. "Cross Bow!" With his free his he set a bolt to the crossbow, concentrating as a red aura surrounded him, lifting his long hair. "FLAMETHROWER!" He yelled as his eyes snapped out. The bolt on the crossbow turned into fire and shot forward.

"Jupiter Fist!" Jupiter Knight moved his right arm up so his hand was in front of his face and made a fist causing black electricity to gather around it. "Pummel!!" Electricity danced around his body as he jammed his fist forward, bursts of air and electricity leaving him and shooting out each time he threw out his fist.

“Venus Love!” Venus Knight cracked his whip as it appeared in his hand. “Whip!” Cracking his whip more times caused a golden energy bolt to streak out.

Opposite Pluto threw himself in front of Opposite Saturn with a yell.

Meanwhile, across the park the other four Inner Senshi were huddled amongst a group of other students. “What are we gonna do?” Naru asked worriedly.

”Don’t worry Naru-chan,” Umino murmured, putting his arm around her shoulders. “I’ll protect you I promise.”

Opposite Uranus smirked as he came heard that. “Isn’t that sweet, I think you two will be the first to die in our search for the Senshi!” He lifted his arms and a screaming Naru and Umino were swept up by the wind and dropped at his feet.

“Naru-chan!” Usagi cried trying to lunge forward. “Minna! Iie! We have to save them! We have to,” Her hand brushed over her locket as she took a deep breath. “Moon,” however before she could continue, Usagi was cut off by four voices.

“Space Sword Blaster!”

”Submarine Reflection!”

”Silence Glaive Surprise!”

”Dead Scream.”

The four attacks hit from North, South, East and West, making the tornado around the clearing ripple and then collapse. Opposite Uranus cried out, his face a mask of agony as the spell which was tied to his body backfired on him. After a minute, a sigh escaped his lips and he fell to the ground unconscious.

Opposite Neptune glanced at the Outer Senshi, his eyes troubled. Then he nodded and picked up his partner, disappearing.

Opposite Neptune appeared in front of Opposite Pluto. “I need help Br--” He cut off as he saw his friend being healed by Opposite Saturn, all four behind a shimmering wall. Quietly he laid Opposite Uranus beside Opposite Pluto and added his energy to the wall, bearing the brunt of the attacks from the Knights silently.

As the four Inner Senshi and four Outer Senshi arrived they four a frustrated bunch of Knights staring at the wall protecting a slowly healing Opposite Pluto and Opposite Uranus.

As soon as Opposite Saturn saw Sailor Saturn enter the clearing, he snarled and left the safety of the Dark Silence Wall.

”You dare show yourself in front of me you slut?” He growled at her causing Sailor Saturn to blink in surprise.

”Nani?” She whispered stunned while Sailor Uranus stepped in front of her with a frown. “How dare you say those things to my Hime-chan?” She demanded.

”Die!” Opposite Saturn yelled out, fury in his eyes as he raised his gun.

Saturn screamed, stumbling back, while Uranus leapt forward, fist extended in front of her.

Everyone stared in wide-eyed shock as Sailor Uranus’ fist connected with Opposite Saturn’s cheek, sending him stumbling back. He stared at Uranus, stunned as he held one hand up to his reddened cheek. Then he disappeared, followed quickly by the other three Opposite Senshi.

Later that night Michiru opened the door to their house and blinked upon seeing Silence there, a bruise marring his right cheek. Her eyes narrowed in speculation. “Silence-kun, what happened?”

He shrugged and flashed and easy grin. “I had an accident in the gym playing with toys that are too big for me,” his voice was wry.

Michiru started to protest but just then Hotaru skipped down the stairs. “Ja Michiru-momma! I’ll be back soon! Silence and I are going out for something to eat!”

Before Michiru could protest, the door was closing behind Hotaru and Silence. She frowned worridly. “Hime-chan can take care of herself...” Slowly she turned to go back to her painting.

Hotaru leaned her head to the side as she watched Silence across their table at Crown. “So will you tell me what happened to your cheek?” She asked softly.

He started to open his mouth to tell her his cover story but she cut him off.

“Silence,” she looked down at her hands, her dark eyes troubled. “Are you Opposite Saturn? Did you and your friends attack the park today?”

His mouth snapped shut as he stared at her in dumbfounded disbelief.

“I am Sailor Saturn, and I’m pretty sure you are Opposite Saturn. Why did you call me those names Silence? I didn’t do anything to you... I know that in the past if we loved each other I loved only you, I think I may love you now too.” She sighed.

Slowly, Silence made his gun appear and set the weapon down on the table. “Hai,” He replied. “I hold so much hate for you and I should be killing you now, you take a big risk telling me like this.

He stared into her vulnerable eyes as he lifted the gun, dimly aware of the screams coming from another booth as he transformed. Quickly he made everyone else in the restaurant go to sleep, so they would think it a dream.
