<< Act 1>> [Awaken]

<< Act 1>> [Awaken]

“Oh,” said a female voice, “where am I? Who am I?”

She was a tall girl, with short golden hair. She looked cool like a boy but she was in great confusion.

“Why am I here? Where was I before the moment I woke up?” she wondered.

Her mind was blank; she didn’t know her name or the reason she was there, on Earth. She was lying on the floor of an apartment; she looked at the ceiling, wondering the questions she couldn’t answer again and again.

She stood up and looked around the room. There were just a four-poster bed and a studying table. She walked around the house. The house was quite big, with two stories. Outside the room she was lying, a door hanger said “Haruka”.

“Haruka?” said she “Am I Haruka?”

She found nothing and no one in the house.

“May be I should go and look around the neighborhood.” She suggested to herself.

She walked around, everything seems new to her, yet, she felt that they were familiar. She set foot on a bridge, leaned on the rail and closed her eyes. She felt the wind rustling through her. Then, a picture flashed into her mind.
She was a girl with wavy hair, standing far away; she looked very familiar to Haruka, if the girl was some one very important to her. When she went to see her more clearly, the picture vanished.

“Who is she?” asked Haruka, “Where is she?”

Haruka decided to go to the place where she should call it “home”.
She laid down on her bed and tried to think more memory of the girl in the picture. However, she couldn’t. Her mind was blank, totally blank. She searched through all her mind, with all her might but it was just in vein. Something told her that she did not belong to this world, but she had to be here, to protect it from something.

A mission was waiting her indeed. And she knew it.
She closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep. She dreamt, and this time, the picture she saw came back again. This time, the picture was clearer, the girl was with wavy aqua-blue hair. She smiled at Haruka. Haruka wanted to touch her, but the girl vanished and said, “search.”

Haruka woke up in a sudden.

“I must find the girl,” decided Haruka, “She would help me to solve this mystery.”

Haruka went to the central park and started looking around for a girl with wavy aqua-blue hair. She walked and wondered, who the girl should be?

Suddenly, a miserable looking girl exactly like who Haruka has dreamt walked passed her shoulder.

“Huh?!” Haruka looked at her.

The girl turned her head and looked at Haruka too.

“You…?” they both said together.

The stepped closer to each other.

“Ah…” The girl widened her eyes a bit, “Oh…”

She fainted.
***

<<Act 2>> [The story, The memory]

<<Act 2>> [The story, The memory]

Haruka grabbed her. The girl fell into her arms.

Time has stopped, Haruka noticed.

The girl’s forehead appeared the planet Neptune sign. Then, an aqua-blue crystal, just like her hair, came out from the sign. The crystal started glowing. The girl rose from Haruka’s arms and stood up, with her eyes closed.

Haruka watched in wonder but she knew it was real.

The crystal glowed stronger and the light started to sallow up the girl.

Then the light exploded, the girl’s body turned naked and into aqua-blue crystal.

The crystal opened her eyes and stretched out her hand, a wand appeared in her hands. The wand shot a beam of light onto the girl and she disappeared into a crystal.

Haruka didn’t know what to do. She stared at the crystal with bewilderment.

“Carry the crystal with you and her feelings,” said a voice somewhere.

Haruka looked around and saw another tall girl with dark green hair in a sailor suit.

“Before its too late!”

Haruka understands and carried the crystal in her breast. She ran with her eyes closed, feeling where the crystal wanted her to bring, using the feelings where her legs wanted to get. She ran, she was not afraid.

When her legs finally found the place and stopped, Haruka opened her eyes. She was by the seaside near the pier. She released the crystal in her arms. The crystal flew onto the water and the girl appeared again. The girl was fully dressed in a nobly Greek dress, hovering on top of the calm sea.

“Haruka Tenoh, Princess Uranus, from the Planet Uranus. Nice to meet you again,” said the girl.

Haruka just stood there, looking at the girl.
The girl moved forward and placed her finger on Haruka’s forehead. The Uranus sign appeared. Haruka closed her eyes; slowing remembering the things happened before she “woke” up today. She remembered everything she did before, finding the sacred cup, the messiah, fighting sailor Galaxia… Then, she was in her castle in Uranus, having a tea with Princess Neptune, Michiru Kaioh when a strong beam of silvery light stroke from the moon onto the nine planets on the solar system. The eight sailor soldiers of the solar system had reborn on the Earth. A crisis had appeared. Queen Serenity needed them again, to protect the Earth and the Moon.

“Huh!?” Haruka opened her eyes “What happened on the moon?”

She noticed that she was in a garden with Michiru.

“I don’t know,” said Michiru “I just woke up like you do.”

“The Moon was attacked,” came a voice.

“Luna!” said both of them.

Luna the cat was in her human form, slowly descending from the sky.

“This is the place where our dearest Queen Serenity keeps her dreams,” said Luna, “The moon was attacked by Pharaoh 90 when you reborn here today. He came back more powerful, more evil. Queen Serenity used the power of the silver crystal, to keep the Moon and the Earth save. She blocked the enemy in Silver Millennium in silence and serene with a protective layer. However, the power also made her and the King into the Deep Sleep. They are also locked and their bodies are vanished into a secret place where all our Queens of Silver Millennium’s blessings are kept. Her last wish was to reborn all the sailor soldiers onto the Earth and carry our their missions again--- The protect the Earth and the Moon. The protection layer will not last very long. Have good timing, I would advise.”

“The Queen….”

Haruka knelt down and cried “Why? Why couldn’t we protect our Queen again?”

“Haruka, Uranus,” said Michiru and Luna gently.

“No,” said a deep voice somewhere again “the Queen and the King are only just in deep sleep. It’s our mission, to wake them up, to perish our new enemy. And we must not fail our Queen of Serenity.”

“Setsuna!” cried Haruka and Michiru.

“Pluto, the guardian of time,” said Luna “welcome back.”

“There’s no time to lose,” said Setsuna.

“We must find the other 5 sailor soldiers,” said Haruka.

“Before it’s too late,” continued Michiru.

“You’ll notice when they awake,” said Luna “and these are your make up mirrors.”

Luna handed them 3 heart shaped mirror cases, each with their own symbol on it.

“Keep them well, use them well,” said Luna “the Queen also reminds all of you, ‘fight and protect together, always remember love and care.’”

“Yes,” the trio said “the messenger of Queen Serenity,” they bowed at Luna.

<<Act 3>> [The reunion]

<<Act 3>> [The reunion]

When the trio looked up, they saw that they were in a house; the one Haruka had been in before.

“See the Queen hasn’t forgotten to give us a nice place to live,” said Michiru.

“Yup, and there’s a cool car like the one I had before in the garage too,” said Haruka.

“Look at all these fantastic astronomy and designing instruments I have in my room!” said Setsuna.

“Well, there’s still a room…” said Michiru

“Hotaru…”

They gently pushed the door of the room open.
A girl in a younger age then them were sitting on the bed. She looked dull with a pair of blank eyes. A mini solar system was floating in front of her.

“The time has come. Our days being a soldier come back. We should fight again,” said Hotaru “always remember our Queen and our King. Don’t forget our un-born little princess too. The last words of our Queen was ‘fight and protect together, always remember love and care.’”

Hotaru became conscious again, she had awakened.

“Mama Michiru, Mama Setsuna, Papa Haruka,” said Hotaru calmly.

“The Queen has also given us family,” said Michiru.

“Always be grateful to our Queen,” said Setsuna.

“When could we see her again,” the four of them said. They fell into a deep silence.




-- knock knock--

“Who’s there?” cried Michiru making the morning breakfast.

“It’s us!” shouted a joyful chorus from the door.

“Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako!” Haruka grabbed opened the door.

“Nice to see ya again!” said Minako.

“Why don’t you guys stay for breakfast?” suggested Setsuna.

“‘Cause the most delicious breakfast is ready!” said Michiru, caring the dishes.

“Sure,” said Ami “thank you!”

-- breakfast --

“When did you awake? Just now?” asked Setsuna.

“A little later than you did,” said Makoto.

“By the way, didn’t you four notice our house’s just beside yours? We even have a garden in between to link up our houses!” said Minako.

“Really? I didn’t notice anything,” said Michiru “we are too busy fixing up everything.”

“What should we do? We don’t have any information of our enemy. Nor where the ‘Land of Blessings’ is,” said Rei.

Suddenly, they felt a strong force entering the Earth’s atmosphere.

“Looks like we don’t have to find where our enemy is,” said Haruka.

Michiru took out her mirror, “They are here.”

Michiru’s aqua mirror captured this: A dark beam swiped through the Earth’s atmosphere, the Earth is turning black. The moon had a protection layer by the silver crystal but it was becoming weaker and weaker every moment.

“We must release our Queen and the power of the silver crystal again as to protect our kingdom, Crystal Tokyo and the Silver Millennium,” said Hotaru.

<< Act 4>> [The New Beginning]

<< Act 4>> [The New Beginning]

Early next morning, Michiru played the violin in the garden. Sakura petals were snowing everywhere. Haruka woke up and listened to the music on the garden bench. After a while, Setsuna, Hotaru and the others joined the audience too.

Every thing seems calm and serene. Yet, the danger is so near.
The music sounded sad. Yet, it was full of courage and bravery.

Michiru finished her piece, everyone clapped their hands.

“Michiru,” said Haruka “you played very feel.”

“I do?” asked Michiru.

“We really enjoyed it a lot,” said Makoto.

“We could feel it, Michiru,” said Rei.

“I know,” answered Michiru “every one of us should.”

“Could our Queen and King, far away on the Moon, could feel it?” said Hotaru.

“She should,” responded Setsuna “I know she can. Our hearts are always linked.”

‘Splash!’

“Ahh!” cried the 8 of them. A dark beam of lightning crashed beside them.

“He is near,” said Ami.

The sky began to turn into dark blood red.

“I am here again,” said a voice “nice to meet you for the second time, sailor soldiers.”

“Pharaoh 90!” said Rei

“Yes, it’s me again. We didn’t have much time facing one another last time, did we?” continued the voice “It was the power of compassionate which drove me out from the Earth when I almost succeed by Sailor Moon. The soldier of destruction tried to destroy me by destroying every thing by death revolution. However, she did not!”

“No way!” cried Hotaru.

“I became very week, I also disappeared,” said the voice “but I wasn’t! I went back to my own star system, to restore my power. Until the day I found myself strong enough again. I don’t need the sacred cup anymore. This time, my targets are you, sailor soldiers!”

“What do you want with us?” demanded Haruka.

“Like Sailor Galaxia, I love sailor soldiers’ crystals,” said Pharaoh 90.

“ We won’t let you have it!” cried Minako.

“Venus crystal power, Make Up!”
“Mercury crystal power, Make Up!”
“Mars crystal power, Make Up!”
“Jupiter crystal power, Make Up!”
“Saturn crystal power, Make Up!”
“Uranus crystal power, Make Up!”
“Neptune crystal power, Make Up!”
“Pluto crystal power, Make Up!”

“Dead Scream!” attacked Pluto.

The purple light vanished into the sky, making a bombing sound.

“It won’t help,” said Pharaoh 90.

Another dark blood red lighting stroked. The lightening stroke Neptune!

“Ahh!” screamed Neptune.

“Michiru!” exclaimed Uranus as Neptune fell onto the ground.

“Come on!” said Pharaoh 90 “Come to me, the crystal of the Neptune Princess!”

Neptune’s sailor soldier crystal started to release from her forehead.

“No!” cried Saturn.

“Low Pressure Electric Attack!” attacked Jupiter.

“I’ve told you it won’t help!” laughed Pharaoh 90.

“We can’t let Neptune die!” said Venus.

“I won’t permit it!” said Uranus angrily “I almost lost her once, and there won’t be another time!”

‘This is your destiny!” Pharaoh 90 stroked another lightning but missed.

“Fight and protect together, always remember love and care,” The Queen’s last words rang in their minds.

“We should work together, I know we can do it!” said Mercury.

“Yes, follow our Queen’s commands!” said Rei.

The 7 soldiers closed their eyes, prayed together that the power of the Silver Crystal would help them. They felt the power slowly descended into their bodies, filling up their hearts with courage and bravery. A silvery-sphere surrounded them and Neptune’s crystal started to go back to the body. Finally, Neptune opened her eyes. She too felt the power filling up her. She cried,

“Eternal Neptune Crystal Power, Make up!”

The others followed,

“Eternal Uranus Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Pluto Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Mercury Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Venus Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Mars Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Jupiter Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Saturn Crystal Power, Make up!”

The silvery-sphere grew larger, and Pharaoh 90 gave out a cry and escape.

“I will have all of you!” he said.

The sky became clearer again, the light of the sphere died down.

Standing there were 8 eternal sailor soldiers, dressed in their own uniform.

“This is the power of the Silver Crystal, the power of our Queen,” said Saturn.

“I knew she heard us,” said Neptune “She has indeed given us what we needed.”

“She’s just some where far away we don’t know,” said Jupiter “But she’s always staying with us by our sides.”

“We must keep going,” said Uranus “I’m sure Pharaoh 90 will attack again soon.”

“We ought to need more information,” said Mars “to find out his weaknesses too.”

“During the time when searching, I’m also sure he will have a study of us too,” said Pluto “he will have a very good plan when he returns next time.”

“We must not lose time,” said Mercury “we must get prepared.”

“Come on mates! We are the sailor soldiers to protect the Moon and the Earth, we have done it many times before, haven’t we? We can do it again, I know it!” said Venus.

“Fight and protect together, always remember love and care,” the words rang again in their hearts.

<Act 5>

<<Act 5>> [Search]

“Any thing you can find on the computer systems years ago in the Infinity College?” Ami asked Setsuna.

“Nope,” replied Setsuna “nothing! Every thing seems to have disappeared entirely from the systems!”

“At least it should leave some marks,” suggested Ami.

“The computers were destroyed when the building itself was perished,” answered Setsuna.

“We must find at least a very small piece of information for the computer program to recognize the other lost files,” said Ami.

“Are you two in progress?” asked Makoto.

“No idea at all,” sighed Setsuna.

“My mirror tells me nothing about the hiding place of Pharaoh 90,” came Michiru.

“Does your mirror ever tells anything?” joked Haruka.

“Haruka!” Michiru pretended to be angry.

Some thing starts to appear in Michiru’s mirror. It was a fax machine.

“A fax machine?” wondered Minako “What does it tell?”

“A fax machine….,” every one wondered too.

“Papa Haruka,” Hotaru suddenly said, “Mama’s mirror does tell us something!”

“Really?” exclaimed Setsuna “What is it?”

“Mama Setsuna once told me Papa and Mama Michiru went to the marine church to find the Talisman when the Witches 5 told them to!”

“ Oh yes!” Michiru said joyfully “How could I possibly forget that?”

“But we have no way to find that machine again,” said Haruka “is it?”

“It shall be long lost,” said Setsuna “especially you two went some where else after the battle with Pharaoh 90.”

“May be we really shouldn’t have done that…” confessed Michiru.

“Why don’t we go out to the garden to breath in some fresh air?” suggested Minako “May be we can have a clearer mind on the matter afterwards!”

“Good idea!” agreed Makoto “I’ll go and fetch some tea.”

The 8 girls set on the green and soft garden floor, enjoying their tea.

“The world is so beautiful,” sighed Rei “we just don’t have the time to enjoy it.”

“While the bird sings with no worries, we are trying our best to solve the problem ahead,” continued Setsuna.

“The grass made me remembered my first meeting with Chibiusa,” said Hotaru “and also the picnic I went with Usagi and Mamoru too.”

“It’s just not a family of the solar system without our King and our Queen,” said Haruka “why are we always separated?”

“When we were together, we didn’t treasure the time,” said Michiru “we even decided to leave her instead.”

“You didn’t leave her,” said Rei “Sailor Moon knew you are always supporting her, even you disagree with her way of fighting.”

“Is this a challenge the Queen sent us?” wondered Minako “to co-operate together?”

“It’s a challenge our destiny sent us,” said Setsuna.

Every one closed their eyes and thought deeply about the deeds they did before. The tried to reflect what they had did right our wrong. This made them felt better as their Queen could always be with them in their memories.

The 8 of them joined their hands together and formed a circle. An unexpected power came out from them. Once again, their Planet Signs appeared on their foreheads and light shot out of them. At their meet point, a small, white and old fax machine started to appear. The machines descended slowly on to the ground.

“The machine….” Every one was surprised.

“How could this happen?” said Hotaru “It could not be!”

“Nothing is impossible with our Queen,” reminded Rei.

“Come on, Ami” said Setsuna “let’s get the chip out from the machine can do analyses.”

***
“Excellent!” cried Ami joyfully “It retreats files from the systems!”

“Let me see…” interrupted Setsuna “this should be the program for finding the victims of the daemons.”

“And also the program which found out who the Talisman holders were,” said Haruka behind “how does this stuff works?”

Setsuna typed in Pharaoh 90 into the program, no response.

Ami typed in Mistress 9 again, no response.

“Why don’t you try Witches 5?” suggested Haruka.

The computer gave out a list of 5 people and their names.

“Sometimes your thinking is quiet useful,” said Setsuna unbelievably.

“What do you mean?!” laughed back Haruka.

<Act 6>

<<Act 6>> [Action]

“THE WITCHES FIVE?!” exclaimed Minako “What on earth is the reason for us to find them out?”

“We don’t know,” said Ami “but it’s the only remaining related source to Pharaoh 90.”

“Okay then,” said Makoto “what’s the plan?”

“Well…” said Setsuna “We haven’t come out any of them yet!”

“Ha ha,” laughed Haruka “that isn’t very useful, is it?”

“Haruka!” Michiru half scolded.

“The question is Who are They Now and Where can We Find Them?” Rei spoke for the first time.

“They are now 5 girls called Mimi, Esther, Vera, Toni and Shelia,” reported Ami “they are all citizens of Crystal Tokyo.”

“If they are just here in this city with us, it won’t be a hard job to find them,” said Hotaru.

“Well…” said Setuna again “All aged 3…”

“Gosh,” exclaimed Michiru “how can they can help?”

“The other important question is that we ought to know if they are still our enemies,” Minako said “we cannot tolerate them even they are babies.”

“…Before it’s too late,” said Rei.

“We must take actions now,” suggested Haruka.

“Eternal Uranus Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Pluto Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Mercury Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Venus Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Mars Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Jupiter Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Saturn Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Neptune Crystal Power, Make up!”

The girls turned into Sailor Soldiers.

“Let’s use our sailor soldiers tele-transport,” advised Ami.

The soldiers joined hands together and cried,

“Bring us to the Witches Five!”

They disappeared in 8 light beams.

The 8 of them had arrived in a dark tunnel.

“Ouch! You are sitting on my back, Mina!” shouted Makoto.

“Hey! You are messing up my hair, Hotaru!” screamed Michiru.

“Na, sorry!” said Hotaru, trying to get her hair untangled with Michiru’s hair.

“You ought to comb more often!” said Haruka.

“Wait, wait, wait!” said Setuna, noticing something…not natural “Why aren’t we sailor soldiers any more?”

“Good question!” exclaimed Ami “Something is totally…wrong…”

“I can sense…” said Rei

“The Witches!” cried Rei and Michiru together.

“Someone’s coming,” said Haruka “on guard!”

“Ha ha ha!” said a voice “Thank you for coming again!”

“Huh?”

“Remember us?” said another voice “we are the Witches Five”

“What do you want again?”

“He he,” said the third “it feels so great to have power running in my body again!”

“The Witches…”

“You all look so funny when you are not in your sailor suites!”

“That’s none of your business!”

“Know how did we suddenly grow up from the age of 3?”

“We received the sailor star power from you.”

“What?”

“Sailor Mimete!”
“Sailor Eudial”
“Sailor Viluy”
“Sailor Tellu”
“Sailor Cyprine”

“Sailor Soldiers?” cried the 8 of them “The Witches Five?”

“Hey,” said Mimete “Don’t get over nervous! We are your friends?”

“Huh?”

“What ever you say, we won’t trust you!” said Haruka

“Oh,” said Eudial “Don’t be a stupid head!”

“We have all been reborn, haven’t we?” said Viluy

“Huh?”

“Try to be smarter!” said Tellu “We are the GOOD witches five, not the BAD witches.”

“How can you tell?” asked Rei

“Because Queen Serenity reborn us here to help you!” explained Cyprine.

“No way!” cried Haruka “How could this be?”

‘Fight and protect together, always remember love and care.’

The words suddenly rang in their ears again.

“Does Queen Serenity wanted us to co-operate with them?” wondered Hotaru.

“We know what you need,” said Mimete “come along, follow me.”

“Wait a second!” said Minako “We are still not Sailor Soldiers! Where did you take our power to?”

“Opps!” apologized Viluy “I’ve forgotten to give you these”

Viluy gave each of them an amulet. Of each of them there was each sailor soldier symbol on it.

“What are they?” asked Ami

“I don’t know,” replied Viluy “the Queen just told us to give them to you.”

“Now, do you trust us?” asked Tellu “Don’t be stubborn, follow us! We’ll show you what you want.”

“Well, seems we have no way to choose,” said Michiru “let’s follow them, may be that’s where our destiny challenges us when we are not sailor soldiers.”

<<Act7>> [The First Destiny Challenge]

<<Act7>> [The First Destiny Challenge]

The 8 of them and the Witches Five went through a long tunnel.

“How long have we been walking?” asked Minako.

“Our watches do not tell time, remember?” reminded Ami.

“Great watches,” said Haruka.

“Actually where are you taking us to?” asked Rei.

“Some where long lost deep in your memories,” replied Mimete.

“What an answer,” answered the furious Haruka.

“Haruka!!” scolded Michiru and Hotaru.

“Just trust them,” said Setsuna “we have no choice.”

“Are we there yet?” asked Rei “We have been walking for quite a while.”

“Almost, can’t you great soldiers be a little bit more patient?” said Viluy.

“Oh, I can see light!” cried Makoto with joy “At last!”

The 13 girls entered a large comfortable room. The room was furnished in white.

“It looks familiar,” said Minako “Have I…been here before?”

“You sure have,” replied a sweet little voice.

“Who’s there?” demanded Makoto.

A little figure with golden hair in a sailor soldier suite appeared in front of Minako. The pendant the Witches gave her started to grow in a brilliant golden yellow light.

“Princess of Venus, guardian of Princess Serenity and the Goddess of Love and Beauty,” said the figure “it’s so good to see you again!”

“My guardian fairy!” Minako cried out gaily “How come you are here?”

“That’s a long story,” answered the Venus fairy “for short, because of our destiny.”

“Good answer again,” sighed Haruka.

“HARUKA!!”

“Wait,” said Minako. “I know where are we! We are in the Queen’s moon spaceship!”

“Does Queen Serenity want us to go back to the moon?” asked Ami.

“How do we operate this thing?” wondered Makoto. “Mina, didn’t you once ride in this thing with the Future King Endymion during the 30th century crisis?”

“Yes…”

“There are 8 slots here…”

“8 soldiers…”

“8 amulets…”

“Shall we…?”

“You HAVE to try, my dear Sailor Soldiers!” said the Witches Five.

“They’re right, we must try!” cried Rei.

“Come on!”

The 8 girls put their amulets into the slots, according to the order of the solar system.
The screen started growing with light. Suddenly, Luna the Cat appeared on the screen!

“Luna!” cried Mina.

“My dearest Sailor Soldiers, welcome back to the Moon Spaceship!” said Luna. “Do NOT come to the Moon. Search for all the missing puzzle pieces of the Moon. Come to the Moon for the last clue. For I, Luna, shall be with you.”

“What clue? What missing pieces?” the 8 of them were confused.

“They are the keys to enter the Land Of Blessings. They are the blessings and memories to wake the King and the Queen from their sleep.”

“Keys? Memories? Blessings? What are they?” asked Hotaru.

“They may not be real objects,” explained Setsuna kindly. “Where shall we start, Luna?”

“They are around you. The keys towards truth…” slowly, the image of Luna began to fade.

“Luna!”

“For the Queen, shall always be with you.”

“It’s a riddle,” said Ami. “And we must solve it. We must help our Queen.”

“How much time do we have?” bellowed Haruka “How can we start without having sufficient information?”

“Be patient!” said Mimete. “Although you do not have time…the hint is…”

The Witches Five began to vanish.

“Hey! Wait! What did you say?”

“Our mission is completed, and we must go. The clues are always around you. The keys towards truth…”

“The hint!”

“Time.” Was the last word.

<<Act 8>> [The Time]

<<Act 8>> [The Time]

Setsuna’s stone on the platform began to glow. The spaceship started to move.

“Time…” Setsuna looked startled. “Pluto…The door of Time…”

“Looks like we have to take a journey to your castle, Setsuna,” said Makoto.

“Is our clue in Pluto’s Time or does it mean…?” said Michiru carefully.

“No…” whispered Setsuna “The clue is NOT time! The hint…We have to…”

“Travel across time?” finished Rei.

“It’s too dangerous!” said Ami. “Remember Mamoru and Chibiusa were almost lost in Time?”

“No… If I can regain the power of Guardian of Time, it’ll be easy enough for us to travel. But the problem is, it’s going TO or going BACK?”

“Wait a second!” said Mina suddenly “You ARE my guardian fairy, right?”

“Sure I am, my Princess,” replied the little figure.

“So you can help me to restore my power of Sailor Soldier!”

“Looks like you haven’t been forgetful!” smiled the fairy “I, Guardian of Princess Venus of Serenity, calls the power of Moon and Venus!”

A brilliant golden yellow light fell onto Minako. The amulet on the platform glowed exquisitely. A star-shaped pin slowly appeared on Minako’s chest.

“Eternal Venus Crystal Power, Make up!”

Minako had transformed in to Sailor Venus again.

“Congratulations! My princess! Now, my mission is completed, and too, I must go.” The fairy began to fade.
“Hey! You can’t leave like that!”

“Hail, Queen Serenity! Hail, the future and the memories!”

The fairy sang the last word most mysteriously and solemnly, which caught the girls’ attention.

“Great!” rejoiced Haruka “The memories. Now we know that we should go BACK.”

“Well, not yet until I am Sailor Pluto again,” said Setsuna “but I don’t think it will be long.”

The spaceship traveled swiftly towards Pluto. Eventually, it came near Uranus.

“Michiru,” said Haruka “do you think we would have time to finish our cup of tea?”

“Why are you asking so?” answered Michiru “I am sure we will. But at least not for now.”

“Michiru…”

Michiru fell onto Haruka’s shoulders.

*

“At last!” announced Setsuna “We are here.”

The Spaceship slowly landed on to the platform of Pluto Castle. Pluto’s amulet glowed most brilliantly.

“Let us take back the amulets first,” suggested Setsuna “just in case.”

The girls took their own amulets and walked down from the spaceship. The entered the castle through a huge and heavily decorated door. Gems and crystals were shining, refracting the tiny spots of light from the distanced Sun.

They walked via a long corridor. On the sides were portraits of the past Queens Serenity and also Sailor Pluto.
“This is the fifth time for me to be reborn,” said Setsuna gloomily “I hope that I can do my best this time. I would not very much like to displease our Neo Queen of Serenity again.”

“Nay,” said a voice “you won’t be again in a lifetime.”

The girls turned around and were ready to fight any enemies.

“It’s only me,” said a purple sphere of light “I, the Guardian Fairy of Princess Pluto of Serenity, the Guardian of Time.”

The sphere gradually projected a little figure.

“Welcome here again!” cried the Fairy “I, the Guardian Fairy of Princess Pluto of Serenity, the Guardian of Time, summons the power of Moon and Pluto, the Power of Time!”

“May the Power of Moon and Pluto, the Power of Time descend into me!” Setsuna raised her hands. Lilac light fell into her arms. She held the light and gently it swallowed her whole body. The other girls looked bewildered. The light was very strong and the girls could barely see Setsuna. The Star-shaped Pin like the one Sailor Venus had appeared on Setsuna’s chest. From the Pin, Setsuna’s Garnet Stone was formed. The light faded and Setsuna held the Garnet in her hands. The whole Garnet Time Staff appeared.

Setsuna stood with the staff. Then, she held the staff upon her head and shouted,

“Eternal Pluto Crystal Power, Make up!”

She too, once again, transformed into a Sailor Soldier.

“For my riddle, the Talisman shall you follow!” said the disappearing Fairy “Farewell, my dears!

<<Act 9>> [The Talismans]

“Riddles, riddles, riddles!” groaned Haruka “Why always riddles?”

“Why the Talisman?” wondered Ami “The Talisman in the past times? How would that be related to the memories to wake our Queen and King?”

“No,” said Rei suddenly “the keys are not the memories. The keys are IN the memories.”

“In the memories?” asked Makoto “But how?”

“Don’t forget we have the Guardian of Time here!” reminded Hotaru.

“I do agree with what Rei said,” said Michiru “I too can feel that.”

“I think this piece of memory that we should be going is related to the Talismans and is it very important to our Queen.”

“You are right,” said Ami “in those times, the Talismans, Neptune and Uranus, Michiru, Haruka and the Sacred Cup were very important to Usagi as well as Sailor Moon.”

Michiru blushed. And Haruka turned her face away.

“Please don’t say about that time,” whispered Michiru “I will feel ashamed.”

“Please don’t, Michiru,” replied Ami kindly “you had no choice but to do what you had too. There’s nothing to be ashamed for.”

“But, we didn’t even recognized our Princess Serenity, the future Queen!” Michiru hid her face in her hands.

“Michiru,” Haruka placed her hands on Michiru shoulders “don’t worry, it’s over.”

“Yes,” said Venus “It’s over. We have united once again. We are friends.”

“We stand by each other. We fight together. We are one.” Said Makoto.

“Thank you,” Michiru lifted up her head “thank you, all of you!”

The Neptune and Uranus planet signs appeared on Michiru and Haruka’s foreheads. Green and golden light descended from the stained glass window on the Castle ceiling. Michiru and Haruka held their hands together; their fingers were tightly grasped. The Star-shaped Pins appeared with their Talismans, the Aqua Mirror and the Space Sword.

“Eternal Neptune Crystal Power, Make up!”
“Eternal Uranus Crystal Power, Make up!”

They gripped the Talismans; Pluto’s Garnet glowed with them too. The three Talisman Holders slowly ascended into middle-air and formed a triangle. They closed their eyes. Memories flashbacks were in their minds.

Neptune and Uranus saw how they woke up as Sailor Soldiers. How hard they had been to find out the three Talismans, the Messiah and the Sacred Cup; how desperate they were when Sailor Moon offered the Sacred Cup to Mistress 9; the time that they decided to leave their long-lost Princess… Tears rushed down from Neptune’s cheeks; either Uranus’s expression looked nice. In their hearts were pain and guilty.

In Pluto’s mind she saw the un-born Small Lady, the little compassionate figure with pink bunny hairstyle. In deep she thought of the future. Would the future be changed if they failed to complete this “puzzle”? Would Small Lady come to the World? Would there be peace onwards? Millions of questions unanswered.

On land the 5 girls closed their eyes too, and prayed that the Queen would guide them, help them, and protect them. The 3 Soldiers in the air opened their eyes, each filled with tears, guilt and tender. They descended from above and gently reached the floor.

“The Queen has indeed given us answers,” said Setsuna solemnly “we shall not waste time.”

“Come on,” Neptune dried her tears with her gloves “Pluto shall guide us through time.”

“I know where we should go,” said Haruka in a gloomy voice “the Queen indeed has not forgotten us.”

“You know when we shall go back through time?” asked Venus.

“Yes, I can feel it,” Neptune looked at her Aqua Mirror for confirmation “and I am sure some of our puzzle pieces will be solved.”

“Seems that the past Usagi and Sailor Moon were actually not bunny-headed,” joked Uranus half-heartedly.

“Let us attend to the Door of Time,” announced Pluto.

*

The 8 girls arrived to the Time Door. Pluto pushed opened it.

“It’s still at light as before,” smiled Pluto “I feel great to come back here again.”

The girls walked to the other side of the door.

“Which way shall we go?” asked Hotaru.

“There’s no way here,” explained Pluto as she held up her Garnet Staff “we need something to recognize the time.”

Aqua Mirror and Space Sword floated steadily in Neptune and Uranus’s hands. Pluto turned her staff towards them.

“We are ready,” said Uranus “if you were to ask.”

Pluto smiled.

“Stay closer in a group. For there is no way of return, do not get lose!” cried Pluto “I, the Guardian of Time, summon the Power of Time and of the Moon! Take us to the memory of our minds!”

All of them shut their eyes to withstand the strong and bright light.
