Chapter two

Minako Aino was angry, never she had felt such anger as she stormed into the oldest senshi's aka Sailor Pluto's or rather Setsuna Meiou's clinic. Keeping her anger in check she patiently waited for Setsuna to instruct her surprise patient to leave the room. As soon as the patient had left the room, Minako walked towards Setsuna and punched her straight in the face. The punch was so hard that the older woman fell from her chair and flew towards the nearest wall.

Setsuna felt confused, but years of emotionless training weren't just for show. She kept her cool facial expression and asked the inner senshi leader casually, "What bring you here Minako? I doubt you came all the way from Juuban here just to punch me."

Minako grinned coldly, "Don't put on the `I-don't-know' act with me Pluto, I already gave you a chance to explain yourself when Ranko and Hibiki-sensei disappeared last week. I want you to tell me now. How much do you know about this Sailor Chaos and what is her connection with Ranko and Hibiki-sensei?"

"I-I don't know what you are talking about Minako?" That comment earned Setsuna another punch from Minako. This punch managed to knock the older woman towards the wall.

"Don't you give me this shit Pluto! Last time you did this the silver millennium was destroyed. If I can prevent it I would not let another one of my friend die anymore, do you hear me Pluto!"

"Die? What you mean by die? Who died?" for the second time within the month since she had shut down the time gate, Setsuna was startled as she began to feel something was really wrong.

Minako studies the older woman intensively, looking for any clue she might be telling a lie but she could hardly see any expression other than sincere surprises she sighed, "Look at this." With that she pull out a newspaper from her sub space pocket and dropped it in front of the older woman.

As Setsuna read the paper her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as she saw what the newspaper had clearly written: `Famous Politician's daughter Rei Hino murdered in hidden alley' below the headline a big picture - `Sailor Chaos rules forever' written with the fire senshi's blood found beside Rei's corpse.

"God, t-that bitch! She murdered Rei!"

"Good, it seems like you know who this so call bitch is, now tell me who is this Sailor Chaos!"

"I-I'm sorry Minako, but I can't… I really can't." The older woman couldn't take it anymore as tears began to gather on her eyes but the green haired woman held the tears on her eyes firmly not willing to let them drop, as if she would fail if she cried. The senshi of time's action somehow confuse the senshi of love since she knew that Pluto was well known for her emotionless mask but if she cried like that than something serious was wrong about the whole situation. Suddenly Minako felt another presence due to her years of training, and the worst of all - it is the type of presence that made her blood chill, immediately she put on a ready stance and met up with a brown haired girl that slowly submerged from the shadows behind her.

"Hi, P-chan do you like my writing? Ahha, I see Venus is here too! I believe we haven't meet before, let me introduce myself. I am Sailor Chaos." Looking at the headline newspaper, Sailor Chaos smirked cruelly, "Wow, it seems like you beat me here to inform P-chan, so what is your opinion on how I killed Mars? Isn't it artistic?"

"You BITCH!" Minako reach for her transforming rod immediately, however before she could shout out the transformation words she felt an icy cold hand on her neck as Sailor Chaos was already behind her.

"I strongly suggest you to do otherwise Venus. After all, a transformed Sailor Mars was no match for me. What makes you think you are better than her? So put down the silly rod since I don't want to end my amusement so fast, if you want to die please wait for your turn." The dark senshi chuckle at her private joke as she slowly melded into the shadows behind Minako, "One last advice before I leave, tell all your friends that I will see you guys next month and one of them is going to die, so I suggest stick together more, after all you folks don't have much time left." With an insane laugh she left exactly way she came.

Silver Millennium

Moon Place

"Hibiki-sensei are you sure about this?" asked Haruku in a timid voice in their hiding place. She knew her sensei ware fearless, but stealing the Ginzuishou was not something to joke about.

"Yup, I am sure, today is the perfect day for us to get the Ginzuishou, what is better time than the moon princess fourteenth birthday party?" reply Ryouga confidently. He than turn toward his radio and spoke to his partner, "Ranko have you found the target?"

"Yep, but it seems like the crystal is within the ball room… I still think this isn't a good idea Ryouga."

"Hey, we just need to utilize the crystal and open a tiny portal for us to get home, trust me! When did my plans fail before?"

"Well, I just have a bad feeling about this. I mean after all this is the Moon palace that rules the system if our information is correct."

"Don't worry so much. Now here is the plan: I will create a distraction at exactly three hundred minutes starting from now, disguise is highly recommended for you to sneak into the ball. Over and out from Hibiki."

**

Unknown to them, another side of the palace a raven hair woman was observing them carefully. *How ironic, the crystal barrier wants to seal the past crystal. Hmmm . . . might as well play along with this, after all, the master didn't say anything about not having some fun. *

The raven hair woman used the special talisman her master gave her; she began creating a youma that would suit the situation.

**

Ranko Saotome was getting annoyed. Every time she walked near to the crystal, someone would drag her to the side and asked her question she couldn't answer, *who was this silver haired woman I `borrowed' my clothes from, some sort of celebrity? * After spending what seemed like hours of entertaining those weird women, Ranko sighed as she finally reach the crystal and picked it up. Suddenly a pair of hand touched her shoulders, causing the disguised red haired woman nearly flip and punch the person that dared to touch her. But somehow she managed to hold herself and turn to face a brown haired woman wearing a green dress and greeting her warmly, "There you are! How is life Se-chan?"

"Err…well I am getting very annoyed…" reply Ranma without thinking. *Shit! What am I talking about? *

"Annoyed? That the good old Se-chan. Hmmm…Se-chan did you recently went for work out? I mean your shoulder muscles seem to be very firm."

"Really? Ah…well I err… *Think. Saotome. Think. Hmmm…Rapist! Yeah, it always a good reason for work out back home. * Well . . . it isn't every safe now of days so I guessed I should work out more." To Ranko's surprise the brown haired tall woman freaked out and yelled for a few more ladies in the ball to come forward. * Ok, that wasn't exactly the way I supposed it to get along. *

For the next hours she had been bombard with question about her safety by the few other woman. *This is bad, how could this silver hair chick deal with all these weirdoes, damn I must be in hell. *

Just when the girls were cornering Ranko, an exposition interrupted them - leaving a relieved Ranko behind as the other girls ran towards the cause of the explosion. Ranko sighed in relief as she walked towards the crystal camber. When she reached the small pole where the crystal was stored she could help but smile, "Finally, the god damn ticket back home."

"Impressive, even with all the spells I used I still couldn't detect any hint of disguise spell on your crescent moon mark. It is as if you were a pure Royal Luna bloodline. How is this possible? I don't really recall having any cousin or sister?"

The sudden burst of sound immediately startled the red haired girl as she jumped and latched onto the ceiling. She held onto the ceiling with her toes and turned around. She managed to see the silver haired chick she `borrowed' clothes from standing there smirking in a way that remarkably similar to her own. "Who are you?"

"You don't know who am I and yet you have the guts to come into my palace and steal my family heir groom? I presume you are one of those infamous Nerima Crews who sent this note to me?" The silver haired woman held out the note in her hand showing Ranko their trademark silver card as she asked in amusement.

"You mean you are THAT Queen Serenity?" asked Ranko in disbelief as she took off the silver fake hair revealing her beautiful scarlet hair.

"Of course, who do you think I am?" the older woman mused at the imposter odd behavior.

"But, but you are so young? I thought they said the Moon Queen is a six hundred years old hag?"

"Old hag?" The moon queen narrowed her eyes as she used a commanding tone, "Where did you hear such rumors?"

"Well, a inn keeper from Venus told us about that."

"Venus? I wonder why I am not surprised you heard such rumors from that planet." The moon queen expression slowly turn back to serious as she questioned Ranko, "Why do you want to steal the crystal? I do pride myself for judgment of character and I doubt you want the crystal for rewards."

"Steal? Hey, we was just borrowing it for a while . . . We sort of need it to open a door way so we can get back home."

"Home? Where are you from?"

"Earth, but not exactly this earth, this is because in my Earth magic is only a legend." *Well, not exactly, but she doesn't need to know THAT. *

"I see . . . so how did you come here?"

"The trouble is I am not entirely sure about how we got here, all I know is I got this fuzzy image about a green haired chick in a fuku, then the next thing I know I was at the room of a half dressed tomboy calling herself Queen Uranus."

The moon queen smiled in amusement as she realized why her old friend Queen Uranus get all worked up whenever the topic is involved with the Nerima Crews. "What do you mean by green haired chicken wearing fuku? Is that some sort of youma?"

"Er…no, well what I mean is a green haired woman wearing a fuku."

"I see . . ." *Green haired senshi? I wonder if this girl here is talking about the missing Pluto? * The silver hair queen deducted logically at the given detail.

"So I want to know - can we get this crystal and go home?" Ranko asked lamely.

"Maybe but . . ." She was cut short when another explosion was sound.

Ranko frowned as she muttered something about stupid pig boy don't know what is called damage control. She bowed in an odd way to the queen as she said, "Queen Serenity I know I am not really in the position to ask you this - but we really want to go home. Maybe we can talk this over tomorrow or something like that? I think that explosion was my friend calling for me and I got to . . . huh?" Ranko sixth sense immediately picked up danger as she jumped out of the way while taking the surprised silver haired woman with her. Just like she had predicted a large figure burst though the wall and rammed straight towards the direction where they had been standing just a moment ago.

"Ryouga? Why for kami's sake are you bashing the wall?" as she indicated a handsome raven haired man with a simple pony tail behind his back who jumped out from the ruins and glared at Ranko.

"Shut up Saotome. Thanks to those fuku chicks that youma just got a lucky shot in." Replied the annoyed Bandanna boy.

"Whatever P-chan." Ranko smirked.

"Youma, how is this possible? How could this cursed creature penetrate my shield?" The Queen asked in surprise, as she never knew anything evil could penetrate the holy power of the crystal.

"Well my dear Queen Serenity, remember this nothing is perfect as there is something called weakness in everything." Answered a newly arrived voice. It belonged to a woman with raven hair floating just above a green youma that looked like a hybrid between a goblin and a werewolf with nine tails behind it. The Queen could clearly see that all her inner and outer court senshi excluded the missing Pluto and the still not awakened Sailor Saturn were beaten as they all had been hang like a display doll by the youma with its tail. The guards were forced to fight with swords once their Queens were beaten to unconsciousness - as their power lamps all were reduced to display toys since their lamps drew power from their respective Queen. Needless to say those guards without lamps were all just mere pushovers.

"Who are you?" The Queen barely managed to hold her temper as she saw her friends being tortured like that, but managed to ask calmly while she took her time to gather more power from the crystal to perform a powerful attack.

"Hmm…interesting question - and I always wanted to say this after that spider man movie. Well, who am I? I am Metallia, the Mistress of the Dark Kingdom. And this is . . . " "Thorn." The Youma completed her sentence.

"Yeah and I am the guy who will kick your ass." Replied Ranko as she released a Ki blast towards the raven-haired woman. To Ranko's surprise the blast was absorbed and even boosted the youma's power making it stronger and more powerful. The youma wanted to follow on attacking but it was stopped by it's mistress.

"My dear Wild Child, a message from my mistress. She said that you better learn what you need as fast as possible to entertain her since each month one of your dear senshi will die if you don't return your timeline."

"What do you mean by that?" asked Ranko, but somehow deep within her heart she felt worried - it was not that kind of worry she always felt for the innocent but a type of worry that involved some people who were really close to her. The type of friends she would risk everything for.

Matallia did not answer - the raven haired woman just smiled and left one last sentence hanging in the air before she teleported out of the palace. "Now that… is a secret."

"Why you! Hey!" As the red haired girl avoided yet another blow from the monster.

"Stop talking there Ranko and focus on the battle!" Yelled Ryouga. He had dropped all his Ki attacks and switched to more primitive hand-to-hand combat.

"Can't a guy get her rest for a moment?" Said Ranko as she picked up the space sword with a smirk on her face. Much to Queen Serenity's surprise, she lit it up.

"If my memory served me right, yesterday you dragged me into that bar to prove your manliness because I said you became more and more ladylike." Said Ryouga as he dodged the tails while taking advantage of an opening and gave the youma a round horse kick, sending it towards the other side of the wall. The youma screamed in pain "Damn you HUMAN! I shall enjoy sending you to hell!"

"Naw, already been there. I rather send people there than going there myself." Mocked Ryouga. Like practiced, he immediately ducked and Ranko jumped forward using Ryouga as a stepping stone and managed to destroy a tail, releasing Sailor Mercury. Suddenly Ryouga saw a smirk on the youma's face and immediately acted without hesitation. Using his inhuman strength, Ryouga grabbed Ranko's leg in mid air and threw her backwards much to the red haired martial artist annoy, but unfortunately Ryouga couldn't do the same to himself as he was caught of guard when the youma's blood spilled. Some of it managed to hit Ryouga - this left Ranko who was just standing up to see a good portion of Ryouga flesh burn off.

"RYOUGA!!" Like a broken dam, the familiar sensation she felt while Saffron incinerated everyone she cared for returned and the crystal she always kept within subspace came out due to it's mistress's subconscious summoning. The crescent moon symbol on her forehead flared proudly like trying to show off to the world `here I am'. At the same time a silver aura enveloped her entire body. Ranko raised her hand upwards and grabbed the crystal that was floating, causing the crystal to glow brighter as she prepared for the fatal attack she had used during her battle with the Phoenix God.

*That crystal! How could that possible?" The Moon Queen immediately summoned the Ginzuishou - and like usual the crystal appeared before her, but somehow it looked as if it was disappearing. *Masaka! If the crystal has such an effect plus the green haired woman she is talking about, could she possibly be . . .* Like usual she turned towards her senshi of wisdom and she saw the similar reaction as she gasped after she scanned the red haired girl. The Queen gave her wise friend a confirming nod, telling her to report everything to her once this was over.

Ranko used a cold tone that she never knew she was capable of using. "I will never forgive anyone for hurting my friends, and always remember: NOBODY hurts my friends and lives to see the next sunshine! Moon Cosmos . . ." however, to her surprise before she could finished the sentence Thorn smirked as he used a spell to intercept her attack just like her mistress had planned, "Silent howling." Immediately no voice could be heard as Ranko's power was stuck half way without the focus it need to release its energy. As result the energy was forced to return and the feedback energy hurt the wielder from within. Ironically just after the spell wore off a piecing scream could heard from Ranko's lips as the red haired girl fell down and vomited blood from the inner energy clash.

"Not so strong and mighty anymore, eh, little Moon Brat?" Mocked the youma.

Out of reflex Ranko want to insult back, but she was too tired and pained to reply, until finally she embraced unconsciousness. For the first time in her life as martial artist she was defeated.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself sleeping in the softest bed she had ever slept in. She sat up to find that her blood spilled dress was all changed into a comfortable soft silk . . . well at least she thought it is a silk, since the dress seemed like a bit more than the silk clothing she had worn before this. As her long trained senses could tell her that it was somehow warming her, despite it's thinness.

Suddenly she recalled, *The Youma! Ryouga! * As she was about to jerk up from the bed, she was held back by a familiar sense of peace. To prove her point she reached out with her senses - she could no longer find the sense of darkness present anymore.

She scanned across the room to examine her situation. The room was way larger than the Tendo Dojo; it had a plain simple bed that she was sitting in and a made up table on the far left end of the room. On the opposite there was a large closet where ten idiot Panda she knew would fit in. In front of her view there was a finely crafted wooden door that had exactly the same symbol like the annoying mark on her forehead. Then she notices a girl near to her age with orange red hair, dressed in a typical servant girl's uniform cleaning up the room.

Like water in the middle of a dessert, Ranko grabbed the servant girl and questioned her. "Where is Ryouga? Is he all right? What happen to the youma?" she blurted out.

"Calm down princess. Mr. Hibiki is perfectly fine. Queen Mercury tended to his wound. As for the youma, Mr. Hibiki managed to defeat it using the Royal symbol hanging on the wall, cut the youma into half after your highness distracted the youma by fainting in front of it." The girl calmly pushed Ranko's hand away as she kneeled down formally in front of the now relieved redhead.

"Princess Serenity, the Queen wants to see you."

Ranko frowned as she looked left and right finding there is no one else beside her. Confused she asked "Excuse me, did you call me Princess?"
