Chapter Two

"Jadeite give me your report!" Beryl hissed from her throne of obsidian.

Jadeite appeared before his queen and kneeled. "Things are not well on Earth. It will take much
longer than we anticipated to conquer the planet this time," he said, fear lacing his voice.

"And why would that be?" she said, her voice icy and full of hatred.

"The senshi are not dead like we thought. They now live upon Earth. However, I do not think
these senshi are the same as the ones from the Silver Millenium. They were clumsy and had very
little experience. I was nearly able to disable them on my own. If all four of us generals were
to attack, then we would surely overwhelm them," Jadeite said.

"Tell me, if you were able to take them on so easily, why did you retreat?" a new voice called
from beside Beryl.

Prince Endymion stepped into the low light, his features made to look dark in the light. "Well
are you going to answer me Jadeite, or should I just turn this whole deal over to Nephrite now?"
he demanded.

"There was another senshi, one whom I've never seen before. She never offered a name, but she
glowed with a light that was not of Earth," Jadeite said.

"And you used that as an excuse to run. Some general you are. You fled and left your youma to
be finished. You are a coward Jadeite," Endymion said.

"No, I am not. Had I stayed, then I would not have been able to come and tell you of this senshi
and the discovery of the other senshi. Surely that is worth something to her highness," Jadeite
pleaded.

"Yes, it is worth something to me. For that alone you will be spared. Now you must go and kill
those senshi. If that new senshi shows up, kill her as well. Now be off with you Jadeite,"
Beryl yelled from her throne.

"Yes Beryl-sama," Jadeite said.

The dark general stood and disappeared from the courtroom of Beryl. A man with long brown hair
appeared. "Shall I destroy him?" he asked eagerly.

"No, not yet Nephrite. I have told him he would be spared and so he shall. The next time he
fails, however, he might not get so lenient of a sentence," Beryl said from her throne.

Nephrite bowed to Beryl and Endymion and disappeared as well, a cruel smile gracing his face.

"Who was that senshi and where is she from?" Haruka shouted.

"Yeah, you three knew who all the senshi were in the Silver Millenium. Who was that new girl?"
Hotaru asked.

"We do not know. She wasn't a part of the Silver Millenium. The only senshi that she could
possibly be would be the senshi of Sol," Luna said, trying to calm the girls down.

"I thought Sol had produced a senshi and she was taken to train and fight with the other Stellar
Senshi against Galaxia," Artemis chimed in.

"She was, but none of us remember her. For all we know, she could be Sailor Sol. Galaxia may
have been defeated and the senshi were sent back to their systems," Luna said.

"No, she wasn't defeated. Sailor Sol is dead. You may not remember her, but I do. Afterall,
Engo was my best friend," Pluto said sadly. "Galaxia is still alive and still hunting."

"Who is this Galaxia person?" Minako asked.

"Sailor Galaxia is the most powerful senshi known. She was the deciding factor in the Chaos war.
Unfortunately, she ended up falling to Chaos, but it was not for many years afterwards. Now she
is the most feared senshi for her appearance, or that of her alcolytes, means death for any and
all senshi in the system or planets they appear on. We should not concern ourselves with her,
for now at least. We have the Dark Kingdom to worry about right now," Pluto explained.

"Yes, the Dark Kingdom is here now. That brings up another point. Pluto, you seemed to know
that man that faced off against us. Who was he, and can you tell us anything about the rest of
the Dark Kingdom?" Ami asked.

"That was General Jadeite. At one time he served Prince Endymion of Earth. That is all I know
of him. There were three other generals in the Dark Kingdom army that were forces to be reckoned
with. They were Generals Nephrite, Zoicite, and Kunzite. They, like Jadeite, served Endymion
before. As for Endymion, I know not what happened to him. Common myth is he now serves the Dark
Kingdom. If he does, it is a shame, for he was a kind ruler and was on the verge of becoming a
part of the Alliance," Pluto said.

The rest of the meeting was more on discussing who the new senshi could be and a light berating
of Minako for her carelessness. After the meeting the senshi each went on their seperate ways.
Haruka waited until Michiru had gotten into the car before taking off at what would best be
described as a break-neck speed. Michiru looked over at Haruka and frowned. "Haruka, you really
shouldn't let this bother you too much. We shall find out who that girl is. Or are you angry
about something else. Like, maybe the fact that she saved us," Michiru said, trying to get a
rise out of her partner.

"We cannot count on her showing up. Besides, we could have taken him. I'm easily as physically
strong as he is, I know it. Each of us is at our peak as well. We have enormous amounts of
power if we just call upon it. Now you tell me that we couldn't have handled him," Haruka shot
back.

"Calm down. I'm not saying you couldn't have handled him. He did have one advantage, though.
He caused enough anger to rise in us that we were made ineffective. While rage can be a useful
tool, it can also hamper. He caused us to go into a rage state and not think clearly when he
took out Mars. Besides us not being able to believe that the fire senshi was taken out by fire,
he made us want to just attack. Her showing up snapped us out of that rage and Jadeite knew it.
That's why he fled," Michiru said, trying to sooth Haruka.

"Still, she shouldn't have interferred. That was our fight, not hers," Haruka said pouting out
her lip.

Michiru giggled as she looked at Haruka. "Did anyone tell you how beautiful you are when you
pout. It's so kawaii," she said giggling.

Haruka looked over at Michiru with a look of horror on her face. "I did not pout. I wouldn't
stoop to that level. Now, Minako may pout, or even Hotaru, but that's different. I don't pout,"
Haruka insisted.

"Okay, whatever you say Haruka," Michiru said supressing a giggle.

"I don't pout, I really don't," Haruka said, pouting again.

Michiru turned her head and looked out the window to keep from cracking up at Haruka. "I already
said okay Haruka," she said, her face turning a light red from keeping in her laughter.

The car sped on towards their apartment across the city. Over the next few days no attacks came.
The senshi had started to relax. That was when the next attack came.

Hotaru was sitting in her last class. Haruna Sakurada was handing out the English assignment for
the day. A youma appeared in the classroom, catching everyone by surprise. "You all belong to
the Dark Kingdom now. Surrender your energy at once," it screeched.

Hotaru resisted the urge to transform immediately and take on the youma. While she was Sailor
Saturn, she was also Tomoe Hotaru. She still had a future to look forward to. She didn't need
everyone knowing that she was a super heroine. Instead she turned on her communicator and set it
to the all call feature. Even if she didn't speak into it, the others would hear the commotion
and come as quickly as they could.

Haruka was starting her practice when she felt the communicator go off. The devices had a magic
call on them that let the senshi know when they were being called. It helped them keep their
senshi identities secret and still keep in contact with each other. She pulled into the pit area
and jumped out of the car. "Ten'ou, what the hell is going on?" her coach asked, walking up.

"Sorry sensei, but I have business that must be taken care of. It had slipped my mind earlier,
but came crashing to the front when I started to drive. Tell ya what, I'll do a double tomorrow
and for however long afterwards you feel is necessary in apology for today. I hate doing this to
you, but I have to. Have a good day!" she called out as she ran towards the exit.

As soon as she was sure no one could hear her she pulled out the communicator and listened. She
heard the youma making demands of the students and heard the screams as the youma began to take
their energy as quickly as it could. Haruka glanced around and saw no one. She pulled out her
henshin stick and raised it into the air.

"Uranus Crystal Power, Make Up!" she shouted, her body exploding into a brilliant blue light.
Her fuku formed quickly and she took off. She quickly covered the distance by taking what the
inner senshi had dubbed the "Rooftop Express". Along the way she noticed Michiru and Pluto join
her. The three reached the school and stopped. "Now what? Do we just barge in and alert the
youma or should we try a sneak tactic and take our chances?" Haruka wondered aloud.

"Well I say we go for the sneak tactic. Remember, though, that if one of should falter, the
others must go on. Do not concern yourselves with each others well being," Pluto said.

Uranus and Neptune nodded and began to search for quiet ways into the building. Uranus made use
of her wind powers and used them to boost her jump onto the roof of the building. She quickly
found the air ducts. Looking at them she scoffed. "Why would anyone crawl through those things?
They make too much noise," she said to herself.

She saw the door that lead inside and walked through it. She quietly made her way down the
stairs, searching around for any signs of the youma. Just outside of Haruna's class room Uranus
met up with Neptune and Pluto. "This is the only room we haven't checked. The youma must be in
here," Neptune whispered.

Uranus and Pluto nodded and stood ready. Neptune slowly opened the door and then jumped back.
After a moment nothing had happened and the three senshi walked into the room. Inside showed all
the students and the teacher had been drained of their energy. Pluto made her way over to
Hotaru's desk and shook her awake. "Hotaru, henshin now," she said.

Hotaru nodded sleepily and pulled out her henshin stick. "Saturn Crystal Power, Make Up!" she
said.

Her body exploded into violet light as her fuku appeared on her body. Though the whole sequence
took only a second, it seemed a bit longer to the senshi. A clapping sound at the desk called
the attention of all four senshi to the front. Jadeite sat on the teacher's desk, clapping his
hands. "So now I know who at least one of the senshi is. With that knowledge I can find out who
the rest of you are easily. Congratulations, you've just help bring the down fall of Earth
closer," he said before laughing.

"Supreme Thunder!"

The attack caught Jadeite off guard and hit his side. He grimmaced in pain as the electricity
ran through his body. After a moment the electricity flowed out of him. He turned his head over
towards the door and saw the inner senshi standing there, Jupiter in front. "You just love to
shock people don't you Jupiter?" he asked angrily.

"Well my friends say I have an electric personality. I guess they're right. Have another taste
of my personality. Supreme..." Jupiter began.

"No, Inferno!" Jadeite said quickly in retaliation.

The small fireball hit Jupiter before she could finish her spell. She flew backwards and hit the
rest of the inner senshi. "No! Silence Glaive Surprise!" Saturn yelled.

The attack caught Jadeite by surprise and smashed him into the blackboard behind the desk. "Now
you've done it. Now I'm really made," he growled out.

He formed an energy sheild and began to gather energy. "We can't let him finish gathering that
energy. Everyone attack now!" Uranus yelled. "Space Sword Blaster!"

"Submarine Violin Tide!"
"Chronus Typhoon!"
"Silence Glaive Surprise!"
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
"Burning Mandala!"
"Mercury Aqua Mirage!"

The eight attacks flew and hit the sheild. It glowed with the brilliance of a small star as the
attacks hit it. For a moment the senshi thought it would succeed. When the glow died down
Jadeite stood still gathering energy, and the sheild in tact. "Shimatta!" Jupiter spat out.
"What does it take to get rid of this guy?"

"A whole lot more than you can muster Jupiter," Jadeite said as he finished gathering his energy.
"Oh, by the way, thank you for helping me get the energy I needed." He finished by laughing at
the senshi. "You have helped me to seal your doom. Hellfire!"

He sent the attack towards both sets of senshi, hoping to take out both in one quick strike.
Michiru quickly summoned water to help sheild at least part of the spell. Mercury had the same
idea and was summoning a blockade of ice. The fire quickly tore through both water and ice and
hit the senshi. All the girls screamed as the fire burnt them.

Pluto stood up before the rest of the senshi. "Senshi retreat. I'll keep Jadeite busy," she
ordered.

"No way, we fight as one or not at all," Venus said standing up. "Besides, I'm the leader, not
you."

"No, you are the leader of the inner senshi. However, in light of this situation, I am a much
more experienced senshi than you are. Now go," Pluto said.

The senshi all nodded and began to back away. "I don't think so. You senshi aren't going
anywhere," Jadeite said. "Firestorm!"

He began to burn the building around the senshi. "Shimatta. We can't go now. We have to get
these kids out of here," Mercury said. "Shabon Spray!"

The area began to mist over and the flames died down a bit. The fire, however, was too strong
for mist to put out. After a moment the mist disappeared and the flames roared back to life.

Half the kids, however, had already been taken out of the building. Pluto stood alone against
Jadeite. "You, me, the Time Stream, now!" she demanded.

A pink cloud formed above the two soldiers and began to pull them into it. "No Pluto. This will
not take place on your domain. If we fight, we fight here. Firestorm!" Jadeite yelled.

The attack flew into the cloud and destablized it. The two fell back to the ground, immediately
going into battle stances. "Fine, if that's what you wish Jadeite," Pluto said, raising her
staff.

The two flew towards each other, touching the ground for only split seconds. A couple seconds
later they colided and began to fight. Jadeite moved to knee Pluto in her stomach, but met her
staff instead. After blocking the kick, Pluto used the other end to sweep Jadeite off his feet.
Jadeite looked up at Pluto, her staff at his throat, and smiled. "Well done Pluto, but I must
part now. Have fun with my youma," he said.

A moment later a grotesque face stared up at Pluto. The whole process irked Pluto and she shoved
the staff through the youma's neck, severing its head. A moment later she stepped back and held
her staff towards the youma's body. "Dead Scream!" she whispered.

The attack descimated the youma's body, turning it into dust. A moment later the rest of the
senshi came back in, to put out the fire and rescue any students left. Uranus looked at Pluto.
"Where's Jadeite?" she asked.

"He ran away. The youma is gone as well. Now get those kids out of here and put out that fire,"
Pluto replied.

A few minutes later the flames had been extinguished and the senshi gathered on the roof of a
near-by building. "Did that new senshi show up?" Uranus asked.

"No, she didn't this time," Pluto said.

"See, I told you we didn't need her," Uranus said to Neptune.

"Drop it already pout-face," Neptune said, smiling mischievously.

"I DO NOT POUT!" Uranus shouted out.

The rest of the senshi began giggling at Uranus and Neptune. Unseen to them the senshi they had
just been talking about floated above them. "Very good you guys. I knew you could do it," she
said before flying off.
