--------------------------------



"Naru- chan! Wait up!" Usagi ran quickly desperately trying to catch up with her friend. Naru turned around to see an exhausted blonde
running behind her.

"Usagi-chan!" Naru quickly moved before the blonde could barrel into her. Usagi landed on the ground and quickly began wailing. Naru
held her hands to her ears as she tried to calm down the weeping girl.

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

Several minutes later the two girls began walking to school.

"Hey, you're actually on time today! Well done!" Naru teased.

Usagi drooped as she walked and didn't reply. ::Something isn't right. I can feel it!::

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

Sakurada Haruna shut the door and walked to her desk. "Class, please take out your homework."
Ms. Haruna walked down the aisles collecting the papers.

"Ms. Tuskino, on time? Congratulations. Now, where is your homework?" Ms. Haruna eyed Usagi carefully.

"Oh.Ms. H..um..well.. Hehe..I didn't *quite* finish.my..um.. *gulp* homework.?"

Ms. Haruna put two fingers on her forehead and sighed. "Well, at least you weren't tardy. But, tomorrow I expect you to be on time *and*
have you homework done!"

"Oh, Ms. H.!" Usagi began to wail when a loud sound blasted through the wall, blowing it up.

Screams and cries were heard as the rubble hit them. The smoke cleared showing a woman wearing tight purple leggings with a black skirt
over it. Her top consisted of a spaghetti strap shirt with purple crystals on the straps and a violet sash that weaved around her arms.. Her
dark purple hair was done up in two loops with hair streaming down from both loops.

"Hello, boys and girls, class is now, officially, canceled." The women spoke while floating in the air.

Usagi quickly picked herself up from under the rubble and looked around. She gasped, this was the woman that the senshi had been fighting
for the past month. Usagi looked at her wristwatch wondering if she should call the other girls. Usagi looked around the room and noticed a
force field surrounding the entire room, knocking down all the walls. "Akurei." Usagi whispered. ::I can't believe she's here! Does she know
who I am? How can I fight her and transform in here? Everyone is watching!::

In the hallway the principal and other classes had gathered outside the force field. The principal was talking on his cell phone waving his arms
avidly. The roar of sirens was soon heard.

Usagi looked around surveying the room. "Everyone is hurt.Ms. H.Umino." Usagi felt a pang of pain as she saw her teacher and friends
laying on the ground, stuggling to get up or motionless.

"Naru-chan!" Usagi yelled noticing her friend. She quickly made her way over to her friend through the rubble. "Naru-chan? Naru!" She held
her friend in her lap. ::Is she still alive?! She's my best friend, she *can't* die!:: Usagi put two fingers on her friend's wrist. ::Still alive, thank
kami.:: Usagi heaved a sigh.

Usagi looked at her communicator again. Naru was unconscious, her enemy had just blown up most of her classroom, and she couldn't
transform without revealing herself to half the school!
"Screw it." Usagi muttered.

Usagi flipped open the top of her communicator. "Minna! My school is under attack! Akurei is here!" Rei, Ami, Minako, and Makoto,
responded. "We'll be right there Usagi-chan!" Minako said. "Hold on, guys! There is a force field around the classroom and a ton of other
people outside it! Hurry girls!"

Usagi looked around, desperately trying to find something to save her friends. "Ah ha!" She spotted a piece of wood. Carefully, setting her
friend down she grabbed the wood and stood up.

She went over in front of her classmates and teacher and stood in front of them. "What do you want?!"

Akurei smiled amusedly. A small girl was standing up to her while grown men cowered. "Me? Oh, you see, I was just looking for the Sailor
Senshi." Akurei said with a cocky tone. "And I know that whenever I'm around them seem to be, so I want to get rid of them once and for all!"
Akurei put extra emphasis on `all' by attempting to hit Usagi with a beam of light, but the blonde quickly moved. "Hmm.how amusing. I
missed. It seems to me, that this child, thinks she can beat me. My, that really is amusing." Akurei chuckled.

Usagi raised the wood in her hands and charged Akurei. Akurei laughed again and simply raised her hand and electricity began swimming in
the air around her.

Usagi screamed as she became immobilized by the electricity around. ::No! I have to fight back! Somehow.is it worth the lives and pain of my
friends by not showing them who I am?:: Usagi closed her eyes ready to transform and, with difficulty, reached for her broach.

The pain encircling Usagi stopped. "Wha-?" Usagi looked up and saw Akurei glaring at something. Usagi gently moved her sore limbs and
saw the Sailor Senshi were there! "Minna." Usagi whispered. The senshi had somehow gotten rid of the people outside of the force field.

"The Sailor Senshi!!!" Umino gasped, but his gaze narrowed. "Where's Sailor Moon?"

"Huh? Sailor Moo.?" Naru's eyes fluttered open. Naru had a pounding headache and her entire body felt broken. Naru touched her forehead
gently, but, with a gasp of pain, quickly withdrew her hand. Naru starred at her hand. "Blood? What's going on?"

"Usagi-chan!" Sailor Mars whispered. Mars tried to get through the force field but was hurled backwards into Sailor Jupiter.

"Argiato, Jupiter." Mars said, quickly climbing to her feet.

"No, prob." Jupiter stood up.

"Mercury, what's the analysis?" Mars asked.

"I can't seem to be able to be able to find a way in. This force field is too powerful for us without Moon."

Usagi looked down guiltily, then came to a decision. Usagi staggered to a standing position. Usagi looked at her friends. "Girls, I think it's
about time Sailor Moon made an entrance."

The other senshi looked at her wide-eyed. "Are you sure?" Jupiter asked.

"Yeah, there's no turning back on this one." Mars said.

Naru looked at the senshi then Usagi. ::Did her best friend know the Sailor Senshi? They acted like they were all friends and knew each other.
But Usagi couldn't possibly be.? Could she?::
"Make sure you're ready." Mercury said still typing into her computer.

"It's about time, Usagi." Sailor Venus said, smiling, giving her friend a thumbs-up.

Usagi smiled and then faced Akurei. "Prepare to face your worst nightmare!"

"Moon Eternal, MAKE UP!"

Powerful white light shot out from Usagi's broach and encompassed her.

Usagi emerged from the light in her eternal form. "Hello, Akurei, long time no see."

Akurei stood stunned for a moment then glared at Eternal Sailor Moon (ESM). "How dare you!" ::Just a minute ago I was beating up some kid
and now I find out she's Sailor Moon?! Oh, great. This puts a real damper on my day::

Naru, still laying on the ground, starred at her best friend who is also the savior of their planet. ::Usagi? My best friend? Klutzy, cry-baby,
Usagi? The one who can't pass a test? Who is always late to school? Who never does her homework? How *can* Usagi be Sailor Moon?!::
Naru kept her eyes locked on Sailor Moon. ::And why couldn't I see it before?::

ESM held her hands in front of her. "Silver Moon." ESM went through the motions of her attack. "Crystal Power." ESM concentrated her
energy on her tier, raising it above her head. "KISS!" The power burst from the tier enveloping the surrounding area in white light.

Akurei gasped and shielded herself while backing away. "NO!" Akurei forgot to keep her force field up as she shielded herself.

Naru looked at ESM with wonder. "Sailor Moon.Usagi-chan. What is this feeling?" Naru touched her forehead again, it was healed.
"No pain? Did *she* do this?" Naru stood up. She had always felt there was something different about Usagi, but never expected her to turn
out to be the most powerful person in the world. ::Pure.pure innocence. That's what I've always felt from her. That's why her aura has always
been different:: Naru had never told her friend that she could read auras. She had gone to a special class for it and picked up the ability
immediately. But, for some reason, Usagi's had always been more apparent to her than anyone else's. ::It was always warm.always.accepting.
Love always seemed to be around Usagi. It was the same aura Sailor Moon had when my mom's store was attacked. But there was also a grey
area in it. Somewhere deep and hidden.it was like something so far back in her past that is was unreal. I need to talk to her!::

"Usagi-chan!"

ESM looked at Naru, startled. "Naru-chan?" ESM looked down, guilty. ::I should have told her.Gomen.::

Akurei looked at the two. ::Seems like they're friends.:: She grinned evily. ::Friends sacrifice themselves for each other. Akurei disappeared and
reappeared behind Naru.

"Naru-chan!"

Naru gasped as strong arms wrapped around her. One arm wrapped around her neck as another held a crooked dagger to it. "So, Ms. Sailor
Moon, what ever are you going to do?" Akurei said sarcastically.

::What *can* I do? I can't attack, but I need to get her out of there!:: ESM looked at her fellow senshi. "What are we going to do?"

"We should attack!" Jupiter said slamming her fist on her hand.

"No! No, she will just hurt Naru." Mercury quickly said. "Don't be rash or she'll get hurt!"

ESM glanced from friend to friend. She couldn't let any of her friends get hurt. "Rei-chan." ESM whispered. There was a hurt look on Mars'
face. "Sailor Mars?"

Mars snapped out of her trance. "Yeah?"

"Are you okay?"

"Uh..yeah. I was just.. Thinking."

"Oh. You ready?"

"For what?"

"To save Naru-chan" Sailor Mars smiled. "Let's go get her!"

Akurei looked at the senshi. She was amazed, no matter how serious a situation was they stupid sailors would just laugh it off. "Just stupid
bimbos with power." Akurei muttered.

"Watch it," Mars growled.

"No, you watch it." Akurei growled back edging the knife closer to Naru.

Mars felt fire encircling her hand as she glowered at Akurei. She couldn't allow this evil woman hurt Usagi's friend. ::Naru may be Usagi's
best friend and I may just be her friend, but no innocent people can be hurt!:: Sailor Mars formed a flaming bow in her hands loaded with a fire
arrow.

"Let her go!" Mars hissed. "I never miss!"

Akurei laughed. "Like you could hurt me!" Akurei narrowed her eyes, "Little girl."

ESM put an arm in front of Sailor Mars. "Don't. It's too risky."

Sailor Mercury looked up from her mini computer, puzzled. ::I guess Usagi-chan has matured more than I thought:: Mercury smiled and
resumed typing into her mini computer.

"She is right. We have to be careful." Venus said.

"Well, I can only think of one way to get rid of her without hurting Naru-chan." Sailor Moon said.

Mars winced. "No! You can't do that Sailor Moon!"

"Huh? Do what? What are you guys talking about?????" Sailor Venus wailed. The other senshi sighed.

Akurei starred. "Children," She muttered. ::This is getting boring, let's kick it up::

"Hey kids!" The senshi looked at Akurei. "Let's make a deal. I'll trade you this girl for Sailor Moon's tier" Akurei's eyes glittered. "Deal?"

The senshi starred, shocked.

Sailor Moon gulped. "A-a.all r-r-right."

"B..b-but you can't!" Mars yelled.

"Why not?" Sailor Moon demanded. "Naru-chan is my best friend." Sailor Mars winced again.

"Wha- What is she talking about?" Naru asked struggling against Akurei's powerful grasp.

"Shut up!" Akurei growled the blade pressing lightly against Naru's throat.

"Stop!" ESM yelled. "I'll do it." ESM said quietly. "Just don't hurt her!"

Akurei smirked. "I knew you would come around. Now hand it over."

Sailor Moon's grip tightened on her tier. Eternal Sailor Moon walked slowly to Akurei and held out her tier. "You can have it only after I got
Naru-chan."

Akurei changed her grip on Naru so she was holding her by her arm. "First the tier."

Mars saw ESM begin to lower the tier into Akurei's hand when she said something under her breathe. Sailor Jupiter looked at her then turned
back around, figuring she was just cursing.

"There. Now give me Naru-chan." Akurei flung Naru against ESM knocking her down.

"Naru-chan!" ESM struggled with the girl on top of her. "Are you all right?" Naru looked at Sailor Moon then stood up shakily.

"Y-yeah.you?"

"I'm fine." Eternal Sailor Moon stood up critiquing her friend. ::There is only a red line on her throat, no blood. That's good. Maybe Mercury
should check her out.::

"Mercury, could you check out Naru-chan."

Sailor Mercury looked up from her computer and tapped her earring. After a careful examination of Naru, Mercury reached her diagnosis.
"Naru-chan has a minor irritation on her neck and is shaky, that's all." Sailor Mercury looked at Akurei before tapping her earring again.
"That's odd." She murmured.

::There is some kind of spell around Sailor Moon's tier. One that's never been there before. What kind is it?:: Mercury began typing into her
computer quickly then looked at Akurei with a smile of satisfaction.
::Akurei can't use it! Yes! That means we can still defeat her!::

Akurei's eyes traced the shape of the tier. She had never been able to defeat it, so she decided to get it. Her plan worked! She knew this was
the most powerful object the senshi had. The tier could always do what the others couldn't. So, now, the senshi didn't stand a chance against
it. "This couldn't have gone better! Now die!" Akurei concentrated her powers on the tier. She let loose a scream and as she *attempted* to
attack.

However, only a wisp of smoke came from the tier. "What?! What the hell did you do to it?! You damn senshi!" Akurei yelled at the senshi as
Sailor Mercury started giggling and Sailor Mars broke out laughing.

"Man, I got you GOOD!" Mars said in between laughs.

"She didn't even know!" Mercury called out.

Sailor Venus, Jupiter, and Moon starred completely clueless as did a fuming Akurei.

"What are you talking about?!" Akurei hissed.

"Oh, you see, I put a spell on the tier." Mars said matter-of-factly. The other senshi started laughing.

"She got you!" Sailor Moon laughed.

Jupiter nodded her head while laughing. Sailor Venus was holding her stomach, she was laughing so hard.

Naru looked at ESM, who now stood protectively in front of her. ::How can Usagi-chan be Sailor Moon and act so mature then go back to
being Usagi-chan? There is so much I didn't know and I think, will never know.:: Naru sighed. ::Usagi-chan.::

Akurei's temper flared to new heights as the senshi continued to mock her. ::Kuso! The senshi tricked me! They may have tricked me but I
still have their most powerful weapon. I'll just destroy that!::

Akurei began laughing too, causing to the senshis' smiles to fade. "Nice trick. Are your magic shows done now? Because I would like to
show you reality!"

"What do you mean?" Venus demanded.

ESM clenched her fists.

"I don't need to tell *you* what I mean!" Akurei replied sharply. The crooked dagger reappeared in Akurei's hand.

::No!:: Sailor Moon thought. ::I can't let her! The tier can't be brought back again! I have to stop her!::

"Legendary Tier of Purity."Eternal Sailor Moon said quietly. "Let your eternal powers become one with the pure light once again and bade
off the evil essence that threatens you! Eternal Tier! I summon you! Grant your power to me!" Eternal Sailor Moon's aura grew into a blinding
white light and the tier appeared in her hands. Raising the tier above her head, Eternal Sailor Moon called upon it's powers.

"Moonlit skies, come forth to rid the universe of this evil! Bends of the Universe, I beckon you! Lend me your powers and let all worlds go on
peacefully! Eternal Moonlight Shine Forth!" Eternal Sailor Moon let loose more power then she ever had before, destroying Akurei.

"No.No. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Akurei's screams echoed through minds of all.

"Fin..finally." Eternal Sailor Moon closed her eyes and de-transformed as she fell to the ground. All her classmates hurried over to her. All
were in shock at Eternal Sailor Moon's power, especially since it was Usagi's power.

"Usagi-chan!" All of Usagi's friends called to her.

"Move! Out of my way! I said MOVE!" Mars pushed through all the kids surrounding Usagi, with Mercury in tow.
"Do you stuff, Mercury." Sailor Mercury nodded, tapped her earring and took out her computer.

"Is she going to be all right?" Naru asked worriedly.

Sailor Mercury continued working, not answering any questions.

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~ A few minutes later ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

Sailor Mercury heaved a sigh and put away her computer and visor. "She's going to be all right!"

Everyone's faces lighted up and cheered.

"How long will she be unconscious for?" Ms. Haruna asked.

"I don't know. With Usagi-chan you can never predict it. Maybe an hour. maybe a day. But I don't think any longer than a day. Usagi-chan
is strong and has been through this before."

Venus shrugged in agreement. "At least she didn't die this time."

Usagi's classmates looked at her shocked. "Oh..yeah.you guys don't know do you.? Oops.hehe."

Jupiter gave Venus a look then explained. "What my fool of a friend is saying." Venus glared at Jupiter. "Usagi-chan has died.1...2...maybe
three.?" Jupiter began counting off her fingers.

"3 times." Mars said quietly.

"What?" Jupiter asked.

"Usagi-chan has died three times. Every time for the people she loved and cared for. The first time was on the moon, she died for Endymion.
The second time she died for us, Endymion, and the world. The third time she died was for us." Sailor Mars' eyes glistened a little but she
quickly blinked hiding her feelings.

"Yeah, you're right."

H-how d..did she come back?" Ms. Haruna asked, her face pale.

"This one I can do!" Jupiter said proudly. "The Ginzuishou. The first time her mother used it to save everyone on the moon- except herself.
Usagi-chan wished on the ginzuishou the second time to have a normal life with her friends. And *she* brought all of us back again. The third
time Fiore gave his life to Usagi-chan."

The class starred, shocked. "How did she get all that power?" Naru asked quietly.

Sailor Mercury smiled. "She is the Princess of the Moon. She is currently the only one who can use the ginzuishou. Only heirs of the Moon
Kingdom can use it."

Umino looked at the senshi. "What's the Moon Kingdom?"

"The same thing as the Venus Kingdom only on a different rock." Venus smirked.

The other senshi sighed. "We should get going now." Jupiter bent down and picked up Usagi. "Bah! She never gets any lighter," Despite
Jupiter's comment she seemed to carry Usagi with ease.

"Please don't tell anyone who Usagi-chan is. If you decide to, remember, how much power she has." Sailor Mercury winked.

The sailors jumped from the hole in the wall to the roof top of a building, leaving the classroom blown up with dumbfounded people.

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~ The temple 4 hours later ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

Usagi moaned and slowly opened her eyes.

"Usagi-chan?"

"Rei-chan?"

"Oh good! You're up! How are you feeling?" Rei bombarded Usagi with questions.

Usagi moaned again. "I'm fine.please try to keep it down."

"Oh.sorry." Rei looked at the window. "Usagi-chan?"

"Yeah?"

"Do y-you." Rei paused. "Do you h-have a best friend?"

Usagi, slightly confused, nodded her head. "I have lots, why?"

"It's just that.which best friend is your favorite?"

"I have two favorites." Usagi smiled. "You and Naru-chan."

Rei smiled. "Arigato, Usagi-chan." Rei gave her a hug then left the room.

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~ Approximately 2.4 seconds later ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

"Usagi-chan! Usagi-chan! Usagi-chan!" Minako bounced into the room. "Are you all right? How do you feel? Tell me!!!" Minako grabbed
Usagi's shoulders shaking her.

Usagi groaned. "Minako-chan." Usagi said weakly. "Stop." Minako didn't hear her as she yelled more questions.

"Baka!" Makoto grabbed Minako off Usagi.

"Be quiet, Minako-baka!" Ami stormed in.

Minako blushed and looked down shyly. "Gomen."

"It's okay, Minako-chan." Usagi smiled softly.

"How are you feeling?" Ami asked.

"I'm fine just a little weak, that's all."

"Lucky, you were able to get rid of Akurei. That was a lot of power, missy. Don't do it again." Makoto said waving her finger.

"Whatever you say Mako-chan."

The senshi continued checking up on Usagi for the next couple hours until they agreed to let her go home.

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~ At school at midnight. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

Eternal Sailor Moon stood in front of the wounded area of the school.

"I hope I have enough power for this."

Sailor Moon's tier appeared in her hand's. "Please, aid me just one more time." Eternal Sailor Moon concentrated her powers. "Let you pure
light shine once again. Restore the school!"

Eternal Sailor Moon smiled as she opened her eyes. ::A job well done. Now it really is over.::

Eternal Sailor Moon's legs buckled. "I guess I'm still a little weak." Eternal Sailor Moon de-transformed.

"Time to go home." Usagi began walking to her home and chuckled. "Knowing that I'm Sailor Moon, Shingo sure is going to be jealous."
