Reuisu: I know, your majesty. But she's needed here. I take full responsibility for it.

Neo-Queen Serenity sighed over the videophone.

Serenity: Very well. Just try to find out what's causing this eclipse.

Reuisu nodded, and the screen faded out. Reuisu walked back over to the living area of the void, where the other six Titans filled the couches and chairs. He sat down in a chair.

Reuisu: All right, Anna, you're staying for this.

Anna: Thank you, Reuisu.

Reuisu: Now, the issue at hand is of course, the eclipse. Any theories?

Michelle: Back when we first fought the Prime Evils, their strategy was to eclipse a town in darkness. That darkness would then act as a temporary gateway into hell, allowing demons that served under the Prime Evils to pour out onto the streets. Baal could be repeating the strategy.

Chris: Indeed, but he's not stupid. He knows that we know that strategy. He wouldn't have done it again unless he thought that there was something different, some edge that he had against us.

Reuisu: One thing's still bothers me.

Christine: What?

Reuisu: Lucy, shortly after you died, your Angel appeared to me and told me, "Doomsday was jealous of the fact that his father was right about something and he wasn't." Now, we know that Doomsday is Baal, but what did you mean by that?

Lucy: I wish I knew. I don't remember what happened after I died. Come to think of it, I don't remember how you guys resurrected me.

The other Titans thought about this.

Miya: You know, I don't know how we resurrected you, either.

Reuisu: How Lucy came back is not the issue at hand here. The issue at hand is how we're going to-

A beeping sound came from the control console at Reuisu's desk! He ran over to it and checked the readings. Monitors on the console lit up of street scenes, where demons were running amok throughout Crystal Tokyo.

Reuisu: I'm reading a lot of demons here! Looks like our theory about using the eclipse to bring in reinforcements was true. Anna, contact Crystal Tower and inform them of the situation and that we'll need backup on this one. Everyone else, let's spread out and protect the city!






Cephiros: CEPHIROS VALIANT CHARGE!!!

Sailor Cephiros aimed her ring at the skeleton, and a fiery silhouette of a running woman shot out of the ring and into the skeleton, charring the skeleton away and reverting it to a pile of bones. Sailor Cephiros examined the area around her and was satisfied by the results of the dozens of dead skeletons and zombies.

Cephiros: Not bad for a dead woman.

Voice: I couldn't agree more.

Cephiros turned around to see a human-like demon. His skin looked Caucasian except with greener sectors. His ears were pointed, and he wore an outfit like someone from Lut Gholein or the Rogue Encampment.

Cephiros: Who are you?

Demon: Can't say now, time is of the essence!

The demon teleported away.







One by one, each Titan encountered the demon after defeating a barrage of demons, each time the demon used a cliché that had to do with time. Finally, in the center of Crystal Tokyo, the Titans regrouped.

Asteroid: This may sound strange, but did anyone encounter a demon that had somewhat green skin,

Love: Pointy ears?

Angel: And clothes from the Renaissance?

All: Yes.

Life: What do you think it was?

Crystal: Probably one of Baal's minions mocking us.

Voice: On contraire, Sailor Stupids.

The Titans turned around to see the demon sitting on a lamppost.

Angel: Who are you?!

Demon: I think the more appropriate question in this matter is WHEN am I?

All of a sudden, the demon snapped it's fingers, and a blue wave emitted all around him. He disappeared, but the wave expanded outwards, engulfing the Titans. They felt no pain, but they looked around. Sailor Moonshine checked her time staff, which was making several noises. Moonshine had been trained to know exactly what sequence of noises met what.

Moonshine: My staff says we've been caught in some kind of Temporal wake.

Angel: Temporal wake? You mean that thing's time traveling?

Moonshine: It seems so.

Crystal: Time travel? The Titans time travel?

Cephiros: You should've seen us 1,000 years ago. We used to time travel all the time in our second year together.

Life: Oh my God... Everyone, look!

Sailor Life pointed at the vicinity where Crystal Tower usually lied. The Tower looked devastated, like it had been attacked.

Crystal: My God...

Love: What happened?

Moonshine: Obviously, this demon must've gone back in time and changed everything in the past.

Asteroid: Then why are we still here?

Moonshine: The temporal wake must've shielded us from the changes in the timeline.

Angel: Michelle, can you use your time staff to navigate us back in time, but still use the effects of the temporal wake so we're not erased from history?

Moonshine: If he's changed major points in the past, he'll be easily traceable.

Angel: Let's go!








The Titans landed gracefully outside of the time portal, unlike their previous time traveling experiences. Most of them recognized their location immediately. They were on top of a building, and it was night. It was 1,000 years in the past, in normal Tokyo.

Angel: Moon-face, I need an exact date.

Sailor Moonshine checked the readings on her time staff.

Moonshine: March 7th, 1996.

The original five Titans winced. Sailors Life and Crystal put puzzled looks on their faces.

Crystal: What?

Life: What is it?

Angel: This is the day that Serena became Sailor Moon.

Crystal: Serena? Sailor Moon?

Asteroid: Serena Tsukino, also known as Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon was the original leader of the Sailor soldiers.

Life: Where is she now?

Love: She's the ruler of the world.

Sailor Life and Sailor Crystal gaped at the Titans.

Crystal: Why isn't she still Sailor Moon?

Angel: Oh, I don't know, maybe because she has to work 14 hour days controlling the destiny of mankind?

Life: Not funny, Reuisu.

Angel: Still, she can still transform into Sailor Moon. We've never needed her as Sailor Moon for a while now, and it's doubtful we'll need her in the near future. Even then, her daughter has taken over the role of Sailor Moon by becoming Sailor Neo Moon. And the Neo Senshi fight alongside her.

Crystal: So what's the demon doing here?

Angel: Obviously, he must be here to kill Serena before she can become Sailor Moon. Even when the Titans were around, Sailor Moon had fought off more evils than the Titans have ever faced.

Moonshine: We have one other problem besides the demon's presence.

Life: What?

Moonshine: A thousand years ago, our enemy known as Queen Beryl traveled back in time to kill Serena, like the demon did. We followed her back and stopped her. However, our presence there was never erased from time. Our past selves are here, now.

Asteroid: Judging by the time of day, I think we're at the point when Sailor Moon first encountered a Youma, and then Beryl attacked and we managed to stop her.

The Titans looked around the area. Cephiros spotted the demon.

Cephiros: Over there! On that roof!

She pointed to a rooftop about twenty yards away from them. They saw a minor explosion, like it had come from a missile. I took them a moment to contemplate what it was, but then Sailor Angel saw a slight flash, like the light of the moon had reflected off some metal. He then understood.

Angel: OH NO!

Sailor Angel's wings extended outwards and he leapt into the sky.

Love: What? What is it?!

Angel: It's Sailor Centauri!

Angel flew outwards towards the demon and Sailor Centauri.

Crystal: Who's Sailor Centauri?

Cephiros: Reuisu's past self.







Centauri: GIGA CANNON!!!

Two cannons came out of the back armoring of Sailor Centauri and rested on his shoulders. They fire out two yellow balls of energy into the demon. He staggered back from the blast, but was virtually unaffected. The demon roared with fury and sent out a constant beam of blue energy into Sailor Centauri. He growled in pain, his armor beginning to scorch. All of a sudden, the beam exploded into the armor, sending him flying off the rooftop and into the ground.

Angel: HAND OF DESTINY!!!

The demon looked up into the sky to see Sailor Angel's attack slam into him and send him sprawling to the ground. He looked up and saw the other Titans jumping from rooftop to rooftop in an attempt to get to him.

Demon: Perhaps this was the incorrect time to go to!

The demon raised his arms up in an attempt to time jump, but Sailors Moonshine and Love got to him first.

Moonshine: MOONSHINE GLASS ORB!!!

Love: CRESCENT HEART CRUSH!!!

Sailor Moonshine's time staff glowed, and a glass orb formed around the demon. Five identical pink hearts appeared out of nowhere and entered through the orb and began crushing the demon. However, he was resisting them with all his strength, and appeared to be winning.

Life: Perhaps I should do the killing stroke.

Angel: Be our guest. We'd like to see what you're capable of, Sailor Life.

The others stood back from Sailor Life, and she pulled out a small baton.

Angel: I swear, if this is a Pink Sugar Heart Attack...

All of a sudden, Sailor Life began to glow as she closed her eyes and aimed her baton with both hands at the demon, who was now beginning to break free of the crescent heart crush. She opened her eyes, and they had turned pure white. Electricity seemed to flow around her, and she finally screamed out the attack.

Life: SOUL LIFE!!!

Out of the baton came a small, humanoid shape. It had no eyes, and it's torso formed into a triangular tail at the end. It seemed to be screaming as it flew out of the baton and through the glass orb and crescent heart crush into the demon. The demon stopped resisting the crushing as he suddenly felt incredible pain. He yelled in agony as his entire body exploded from the inside out. The glass orb and the crescent heart crush disappeared. The Titans gaped at the site. Sailor Life turned around, the glowing was gone and her eyes were normal again, she smiled at the Titans, and the Titans stared at her.

Life: Waddya think?

Angel: I think you'll do just fine with us. Michelle, get us home.






Centauri came staggering into the room, his armor scorched.

Love: Centauri! What happened?

Centauri: Don't remember... And Luna, to explain, we're from the future. HER future.

Centauri pointed to the past Sailor Moon.

Moon(Past): You mean... You're from my future? What happens?

Pluto: Eh, eh.

Pluto touched Luna and the Past Sailor Moon's forehead with a square computer chip. The two fell unconscious.

Pluto: They'll wake up with no recollection of what happened. I suggest we return to our own timeline and make sure Beryl hasn't done anything else.

Moon(Present): Agreed.
