ETERNAL SAILOR MOON
CHAPTER 2: A NEW DANGER!  Part 2: Outer Senshi

Last time on Eternal Sailor Moon:

  ....."Poor Usagi."  Luna said softly.  "Still dreaming of Mamoru.".....

...a large dark planet slowly emerges from the shadows behind Pluto........ 
Before long a beam of black light shatters the still tranquility of the 
system.  The ray easily bypasses the other planets in the system before 
striking its intended target, the Earth.

.... Pain is her last thought before she falls into a deep painful 
unconsciousness, her briefcase, that was held in her hand, slid across 
the ground.  The name on it reading, Rei Hino....

...Minako and Usagi slowly walked down the street when they notice the 
black streak of energy shooting across the sky.  Both suddenly feel a 
chill up their spines, before turning to each other and looking back 
towards the sky....

...Rei's eyes slowly opened to stare into the face of the person staring 
down upon her.  "Ami-chan," she asked in soft whisper, "did you feel that?".... 

  ...a lone motorcycle races towards the center of the city ....."I guess 
I'm in the right place," he says as he looked around, his voice very deep 
and also quite quiet.  "There is a disturbance in the shadow and the light.  
The time must be drawing near for some actions to take place.  I must 
prevent them at all costs."....

... The beam soon stops at a deserted alleyway and from it a silver orb 
can be seen...."Seek, recover, learn, destroy."  The creature repeats to 
itself before disappearing into the shadows of the alley....

... Mako suddenly ran back into the room. "Guys flip on the T.V., 
"....."Now a special report, people living in the Juuban District of 
Tokyo should stay in their houses as an unknown creature is attacking 
the district.  I repeat an unknown creature.........."......

..."OK guys, let's go."  Sailor Moon calls out looking towards the other 
senshi.... "Right," The other senshi respond before following Sailor Moon 
towards their new enemy and quite possibly.....there destruction..........
.............

  Now Part two of Eternal Sailor Moon:  A New Danger!........

  The creature went through the jewelry store and finding that the object 
it sought after wasn't there.  It turned raising a closed fist to a wall, 
which began to vibrate before the creature let out an ear piercing,
screech.  The wall at which the attack was directed upon exploded, 
sending pieces of concrete and shrapnel flying everywhere.  

  The creature blinked before heading out the hole and towards the next 
store.  Under his talons that he used to walk with, the cracking and 
crunching of broken glass was heard as it moved forward.  Its feline eyes
gazed at everything in perspective as it let out a roar, which soon 
changed into a devastating screech.

  As the creature walked through the streets it tossed anything and 
everything that got in his way.  Lampposts, telephones, and bike racks, 
were thrown through different buildings and cars, setting off their 
silence piercing noise.  The creature, through this, soon arrived at the 
next jewelry store in view.

  It soon began to spread its wing as it let out a loud roar which 
quickly metamorphosized into its screech.  Not only were the windows to 
the jewelry store shattered, but also the windows and windshields to 
nearby cars and buildings cracked before the crashing and exploding of 
glass was heard all around.  The creature gave a dark smile and began to 
move forward into the building.

  "Hold it right there!"  The creature stopped upon hearing the sound.  
It turned slightly to see five women in sailor type outfits.

  It turned completely around to face them, noticing that there was one 
standing ahead of the pack.  Her long golden hair hung from two balls atop
her head.  She had long, white, arm length gloves and knee high, boot.  
Her skirt was colored yellow, red, and blue and she had pink, round 
shoulder sleeves. On her back two pair of white wings hung as well as on 
the locket on her chest.  

  "For love and justice, I'm the pretty soldier in a sailor suit, Sailor 
Moon.  In place of the moon, I'll punish you!"  The girl cried out as the 
creature just stood staring.  After a couple of seconds the creature 
turned and ignored them.

  "I'll take care of this one Sailor Moon.  Over here Scum face!"  The 
creature turned to face another senshi.  This one had long flowing raven 
black hair and a fiery red fuku on.

  "You're not going anywhere,  MARS......FLAME.......SNIPER!"   The 
senshi, Mars, held out her right hand where flames formed a bow, while 
she pulled back with her left arm forming a flaming arrow.  She took 
careful and quick aim before firing the flaming energy towards the 
creature.  The creature took the attack and then stared at them at it
felt as if nothing struck.  

  "What?"  Mars cried out in surprise.

  "Let me try this, Mars."  Another senshi spoke up.  Her brown hair was 
tied up in the back by a green barrette and she was wearing a green fuku.
 "JUPITER...OAK..EVOLUTION!"  She spun her body as green leaves of 
electrical energy shot forth from her.   The creature took the attack in 
the same spot, taking a slight step back but still standing tall, though 
it's teeth begin to show as it stared at the Senshi.

  "Hey Mercury why don't we team up on this thing."  One of the last two 
senshi said.  Her golden hair held a red bow in the back as her orange 
fuku.

  "I'm with you Venus,"  Mercury responded.  Her short, shoulder length 
blue hair, along with the blue mini-skirt of her fuku began blowing in 
the breeze of the wind. "MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!"  

  Streams of water begin to shoot up around Mercury's form as a Harp 
formed from the water.  Her hands gracefully begin to pluck and stroke 
the chords, initiating the attack against the creature.  

  "VENUS...."  Energy began to form in Venus' hands before coursing across
her lips, "....LOVE AND BEAUTY...."  She then brought her hand to her face
blowing a kiss out which formed into a heart in her palm, before spiraling
around her, "......SHOCK!"  The energy then shot from around her and 
towards the creature.

  Venus' attack soon combined with Mercury's attack and struck the 
creature at the same point the other attacks had.  With a roar of pain 
the creature fell back, in obvious pain.  

  "Now Sailor Moon,"  Mars shouted.

  Sailor Moon nodded before pulling out her Eternal Tier and taking aim 
at the creature.  "SILVERMOON CRYSTAL POWER........."

  Before Sailor Moon could finish the words to her attack, the creature 
took to the sky and slashed down, scratching across the sky and sending 
a wave of energy at Sailor Moon.  Just as Moon was about to take the 
attack, she was shoved out of the way by Venus who took it and was sent 
flying backwards.  When she stopped, she had been slammed into a car, 
which was now wrapped around her body from the force of the impact.

  Before the others could react the creature had landed and stood tall 
behind Mars and Jupiter.  It took both of them in its massive hand and 
tossed them behind him as if they were two rag dolls.  A sickening impact 
was heard as their bodies slammed through the wall of the building behind 
them.  

  "Be careful Sailor Moon,  SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!"  Water once again 
swirled around Mercury's body before she directed the attack towards 
the creature.

  The creature took to the skies only to strike the ground hard as its 
wings were frozen on to its body.  The creature stood, extremely pissed, 
and with incredible catlike speed, was upon Mercury in a matter of 
mili-moments. It gripped her waist before slamming her into the ground.  
She let out a scream before her body went limp.  The creature then turned
to face it last opponent and began to move slowly towards her.  Its eyes 
becoming blood red as it began to stalk towards its prey.

  Sailor Moon slowly began to back away from the creature, unsure on what 
to do.  The creature, though, was quite sure on what it wanted and rushed 
Sailor moon grabbing her and running into a nearby wall and holding her 
there.  The savageness of the creature was all too apparent and at that 
point Sailor Moon began to struggle with all her might. Neither the 
creature nor Sailor Moon noticed others were watching this battle in the 
distance.

  Hidden atop an undisturbed building, two silent figures, hidden in the 
shadows, watched the battle commencing from afar.  As each senshi fell, 
they did nothing but wait and observe.  As Sailor Moon was rammed into 
the building both prepared for action, standing tall and preparing for 
an all out attack.

  One, who was taller than the other and had shorter hair by the 
silhouette that could be seen from her shadow, slowly closed her hand 
tighter as she observed the proceedings.  Her mind began to wander as 
she thought about the events that led her to this point.

  A few hours ago a young woman slowly brings her red sports car to a halt
 in front of a concert hall in downtown Tokyo.  Her bluish eyes observe 
her surroundings as she leans back in the front seat.  She runs a hand 
through her short sandy blond hair as she looks towards the door of the 
hall.  She soon cuts off the engine to her car and leans her head back to 
stare at the sky.  

  A sudden breeze blows through the open windows of her car and through 
her hair.  Seconds later the passenger side door to her car opens and 
another lovely woman steps into it.  She has long aqua green, which 
matches her aqua green eyes.  She gently places her violin in the back 
seat before turning to her the other girl.

  "How was your day, Haruka?"  The girl asked as she places a hand through
her green hair. 

  Haruka turned to her friend and long time partner, before starting the 
car up.  "It was fine Michiru."   She answered, though not fully attentive.

  "Haruka, what's wrong?"

  "The winds are rough today."  Haruka said, as she shifted her car into 
drive.

  "As well as the seas."  Michiru gave in response before looking towards 
the direction of the ocean.

  Before Haruka could respond to Michiru's comment, a black beam of energy
shot across the sky.  Haruka, not saying another word placed the car into 
drive and sped off in the direction of the beam.

   On the other side of town, a young girl, with short lavender hair and 
deep purple eyes, slowly walked home from school.  It was her first day 
in the ninth grade and she was already loaded down with homework and other
things to do.

  She sighed as she shifted her brown book bag on her back.  She soon 
passed a building where a sign caught her eyes.  A brand new bookstore
was going to be opening a few blocks down the street and to top it off 
one of her favorite authors were going to be there for the grand opening.

  She studied the date and noticed it was going to be opening in a few 
weeks.  She let out a small smile when suddenly a dark foreboding feeling 
over came her body.  Her hand clutched her chest as she looked towards 
the sky and noticed a dark beam streak across it.  

  ~Saturn the darkness is in your heart, embrace it~  

  She blinked as the bookbag fell from her shoulders and her knees could 
no longer support her weight.  

 *Hotaru,*  she thought to herself,  *what is wrong with you.  Where did 
that come from?*

  She slowly leaned against a building before continuing forward, not 
knowing where she was going or what was going to happen next.

  In an office in Juuban High School, a young woman slowly leans forward 
in chair and lowers a cup of herbal tea from her ruby red lips.  She moves
a hand through her long green hair as she picks up a folder from her desk.
 Her deep violet eyes skim the pages of the folder before she tosses it 
to the side with a pile of other papers.  

  As she let out a long sigh the phone began to ring on her desk.  She 
picked it up and shifted her hair so she could listen to the receiver.  
"Hello, Setsuna Meioh, Principle of Juuban High School speaking."  She 
listened to the voice on the other end of the phone before hanging up and 
placing a hand on her head and leaning back.  She then turned her chair 
to face the window that looked out to the schoolyard, and the green grass 
surrounding the field.  Her mind slowly began to ease into the setting 
when she heard a knock upon her door.

  "Come in"  She said as she turned her chair back to the front of the 
desk.  She noticed it was only the school's clerk with another file for 
her to look at.

  "Miss Meioh."  The young woman said as she handed her the folder.  She 
was dressed in a long green suit and had her long brown hair held into a
bun by a barrette that was decorated with what looked like leaves.  Her 
evergreen eyes looked on at her with questioning eyes.  "Mr. Summers still 
hasn't reported in today.  Do you want me to put his job up to the board?"

  "No,"  She said as she stood and turned her back to the woman. "I will 
deal with Mr. Summers when he arrives later today.  He called about two 
minutes ago and said he would be in the city in a few hours.  I will wait
here till then and talk to him.  This at least will give me a chance to 
catch up on my paper work I have left over from today.  Why don't you go 
ahead and go home Terra, no need in waiting for me.  I'll lock up, Go 
home."

  "Yes Miss Meioh."  She said before turning the door and leaving.  

  Setsuna smiled at the young woman that left her room.  She was very 
young and had gotten her position by being good at what she did.  At some 
points, Setsuna felt as if she was in some way connected to their future.
 She sighed and looked back towards the grass.

  As she watched a small butterfly float towards another flower when her 
mind suddenly began to race as she felt a dark presence.  She looked up 
to notice a dark orb streak across the sky and another wave of darkness 
washed over her.  Her deep purple eyes became lost in the wave of darkness
as she fell into her chair.  

  *What was that?*  She asked herself as she slowly arose to her feet.  
*A new enemy?*

  Setsuna quickly grabbed her coat jacket to her suit and raced out her 
office to follow the direction the orb went to.

  Haruka and Michiru soon arrived at the area where they saw the orb fell 
and were both soon greeted by the site of destruction and chaos it brought.  
Cars and buildings were blazing; Michiru and Haruka observed the scene 
around them.  They soon began to cautiously step forward observing 
everything around them as they went.  

  "Michiru, call Setsuna, we might need her help on this one."  Haruka 
said lowly as she observed a body lying on the ground.  She looked back 
and saw Michiru on the communicator before looking at the body again and 
moving towards it.

齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻

  Setsuna quickly raced through the streets of Tokyo in her dark red 
sports car.  Her communicator suddenly beeped, causing her to slow her 
car down to answer it.

  "Setsuna here" She said softly, as she also kept an eye on the road

 "Setsuna, did you feel that strange dark energy earlier and see the 
black orb across the sky."  She heard Michiru's voice on the other end.

  "Yes, I'm on my way to where it landed now, after I pick up Hotaru."  
She replied.

  "Haruka and I will meet you here, ok.  Out."  

  Setsuna began to push the gas again when she saw Hotaru leaning against 
an old abandoned building, clutching her chest.  Setsuna stopped the car 
and quickly rushed towards Hotaru's side.  She then moved Hotaru to a 
position in which the young girl was leaning against her for support.

  Hotaru looked up towards Setsuna, her deep violet eyes showing the pain
that her weakened body felt.  "Setsuna, a great evil has fallen to Earth.
We must go and intercept it."

Setsuna nodded.  "We already know little one.  Your body, though, is in no
condition to fight.  I'm taking you home.  I just hope Haruka and Michiru 
can handle things without me for a while."

  Haruka knelt down and rolled the body over noticing its frontal portion 
had been burned and ripped completely off.  She averted her eyes just in 
time to see Michiru walking towards her.

   "Setsuna is already on her way,  she said she felt the dark energy 
as......."  Her voice trailed off as she noticed the body lying on the 
ground "My God, Haruka" she said in shock, "What kind of being could have 
the strength to do this?"

  Haruka shook her head as she stood. Before she could say anything, a 
sudden scream rippled the air as they both felt the release of some sort 
of energy.  Haruka turned as she reached for her henshin stick only to 
see Michiru doing the same thing.  "Let's do it.  URANUS CRYSTAL 
POWER......"

"NEPTUNE CRYSTAL POWER......"

"MAKE-UP!"  they both cried out together.  

  The Amber colored crystal on top of a stick like device that held it, 
had inside of it the symbol of the planet Uranus and was held in the hand 
of Haruka.  She held it to the air, which the crystal began to sparkle 
before she motioned it around her body, creating a blaze of golden light 
to surround her before it flashed around her form.

  In Michiru's hand, was a similar stick with an aquamarine colored 
crystal on top of it.  Inside the crystal itself was the planet symbol of 
Neptune.  She also held it into the air before moving it around her body, 
causing it to form a column of water around her before an aqua blue light 
flashed around her form.

  When the light faded,  Haruka now stood tall in a fuku that had a deep 
navy blue skirt around it and two golden bows, one on her chest and a 
larger one at her waist in the back.  She had crystal clear sleeves and a
navy blue choker around her neck that had a six-pointed star on it.  On 
her hands were wrist  length gloves and she wore white boot type, high 
healed shoes.  Michiru, on the other hand, looked much similar except the 
skirt surrounding her fuku and choker are aquamarine and her bows are blue.  
Her gloves were a little longer than Uranus' but not as long as the inner 
senshi's and she wore sandal like pumps for shoes.  Both had a heart 
shaped broche, which were similar to the color of the fuku's they wore.

  "Let's go,"  she said in a low deep voice.  With that they both leapt 
onto the top of a nearby building and began to head towards the scream.

齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻

  A sudden scream of pain pulled Haruka out of her thoughts of the past 
and back to those of the present.  Her eyes stared hard towards the 
creature as her fists slowly clenched tighter.  *Where is Setsuna and 
Hotaru?* Her mind asked, though her thoughts did not hold the answer.

  "Uranus, we can no longer wait on Pluto or Saturn.  We must act now or 
our future queen will die." Michiru's voice said softly.

  Sailor Uranus, Haruka, looked towards her partner, "I agree, we must 
act now or all is lost.  Let's go Neptune."  She said as she stood upright.

  Sailor Neptune, Michiru, nodded and they both leapt from their place of 
hiding towards the battlefield bellow.

齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻,,,,齯滌`偕爻

  The creature let out a loud growl that sounded like that of a predator 
whom was about to deliver the final killing blow to its prey.  Its claws 
glistened in the sunlight as the Moon Princess' blood decorated each of 
its sharply pointed tips.

  Eternal Sailor Moon could barely keep her thoughts straight as her body 
felt weaker from the loss of blood which she was experiencing from the 
creature's slash across her chest only seconds earlier.  *Mamoru......* 
was the thought that entered her head as it raised its claws into the air,
and a tear slowly streamed from her eyes. *...I love you.....*  She closed
her eyes and waited for the final blow.

  "WORLD SHAKING!"  The creature turned its head only to be greeted by a 
yellow orb of planet shaped energy.  It roared as it was forced to release
its grip on Sailor Moon and was flung back a couple of yards.  Both, 
Sailor Moon and the creature looked up as two figures appeared and stood 
there, eyes narrowed and facing the creature.

  The first one, which had obviously released the attack, smiled.  She 
placed her hand on her hip as her closed fist came up a little ways.  Her 
partner, whom was at her side stepped forward, an angry look on her face 
as her gaze changed from Sailor Moon then to the creature.  

  "With the blessings of the Planet of the Sea, Neptune.  I am the Senshi 
of the Depths, Sailor Neptune."

  The other soon stepped forward, continuing where her partner left off.  
"And with the blessings of the Planet of the Winds, Uranus.  I am the 
Senshi of the Skies, Sailor Uranus."

 
  The creature growled angrily as they leapt down, Neptune landing next 
to Sailor Moon, kneeling and Uranus landed besides her standing tall.  

  "How is she, Neptune?" Uranus asked, not moving her eyes off the 
creature.

  "She's hurt...." She replied checking the wounds, "bad."

  Uranus' eyes narrowed as she brought her hand up, "Your going to pay for
your damage, World Shaking!"  

  The planet energy formed in her hand as she closed it to a fist and then
struck the ground, releasing the attack.  The creature though dodged the 
attack and began to rush the both of them.  The murderous gaze in its eyes
was stronger and darker then before.

  "DEEP SUBMERGE!"  Neptune cried out as she stood and released the attack.  
The creature took the attack head on knocking it down, but with incredible
recovery time it stood up and charged again.  It leapt into the air drawing 
its arms back for a deadly strike.

  "Dead Scream." A whisper came from nowhere and an orb of purple planet 
shape energy collided with creature knocking it through the wall.

  Uranus and Neptune looked up and saw a woman with long green hair and 
deep purple eyes staring back at them.  Her green and red fuku seemed to 
blow in the wind as she brought a staff shaped like a key down to her 
side.  Rose petals fluttered before her as she shifted her gaze from them 
back to the creature.

  "Pluto." Uranus, whispered.  "right on time."

  The Senshi of Time leaped down and nodded towards the other two senshi,
her body already in a battle stance.

  "Sailor Moon, do you think you can finish this creature off?" Uranus 
asked as she two returned to a battle stance.  Moon nodded before slowly 
standing and staring at the creature.  "Good then let's finish it, SPACE 
SWORD...." Uranus cried out as she pulled out a golden sword "...BLASTER!"
She swung her sword in an arc releasing a beam of energy towards the 
creature, which collided and sent it flying backwards. "NOW SAILOR MOON!"

  She nodded before raising her Eternal Tier and combining it with her 
Eternal Brooch,  "SILVERMOON....."  White feathers suddenly began to rise 
up around her form as she held up the tier, which began to erupt with 
powerful yellow beams of energy. "...CRYSTAL POWER KISS!"  The yellow 
energy then shot from the tier, striking the creature, as it slowly stood 
up, and exploding around it into a flock of feathers.

  The creature let out an agonizing cry before stepping forward angrily.  
All of the standing Sailor Senshi stared in shock as the creature moved 
towards them, but suddenly it stopped.  The creature cried out a death 
cry as black bolts of electricity suddenly consumed its body and it 
disintegrated into a smoking pile of dust.  In its place, hovered a 
glowing silver orb, which then shattered into tiny fragments.  

  Sailor Moon let out a sigh of relief before collapsing to the ground, 
from the pain and exhaustion.  Uranus knelt down and picked the princess 
up as Pluto looked around and saw that all the other senshi were equally 
injured or exhausted from this battle.

  "This new enemy is unlike anything we've seen."  Pluto said quietly, as 
she walked over and examined Mercury, whom was still unconscious, but 
looked a lot better than the other inners did.  This said very little.

  Uranus placed Sailor Moon down by a nearby wall before moving over to 
where Neptune was.  "I agree.  We need to get the senshi out of here.  I 
hope Hotaru will be able to help them."

  Pluto shook her head as she placed Mercury next to Moon.  "I don't 
think so.  Hotaru was weakened by that force we felt, that why I arrived 
here so late."  

  Uranus nodded, "Maybe she'll have the strength to do it now that we 
have destroyed the creature.  Sailor Moon is our future and we need her 
to be well in order for that future to happen."  Uranus then called for 
her Space Sword.  "I'll get Venus out,  you two retrieve Jupiter and Mars.
  Pluto do you think you can transport us all to the house?" Pluto nodded.
  "Good, we'll straighten all of this out when we get there, agreed."

  The senshi nodded and began to gather the rest of the senshi.  No one 
noticed that in the shadows there were two pair of eyes watching them.  
A dark crackle of black electricity shot through the shadow and within 
seconds any existence of a presence there, was gone.

To be continued.........
