Sailor Moon cautiously peeked around the corner of the large factory. She started to sneek around it and motioned for the scouta behind her to follow.

"What are we doing this for Sailor Moon?" Makoto whispered.

"SHHH," Sailor Moon replied. "Luna wants us to practice sneaking up on out enemies!"

"It is a technique that must be well practiced to be performed properly!" Ami explained.

"It’s dumb." Rei added.

"Sailor Moon, you and Sailor Jupiter cover this end of the old factory with Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus and Sailor Mars will cover the other end." Luna said as she appeared from around the corner. Mercury, Venus, and Mars took off for the other end of the building leaving Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, and Sailor Jupiter at the west-end. Luna began to trot off.

"Luna, why are we doing this? We don’t need to sneak up on enemies…."

Luna smirked then ran off.

"What’s up with Luna?" Tuxedo Mask asked in bewilderment.

"I don’t know…. ever since she ran away 2 days ago……"

"Wait a minute," Sailor Jupiter interuppted. "Luna ran away?"

"Yeah. Thursday morning she disappeared and came back on Friday night. Why?"

"Well, remember on Thursday morning Rei felt a new prescense or life form or something come to earth?" Jupiter asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"And Luna ran away at the same time and has been acting weird ever since… like something’s controlling her actions? I mean… we don’t normally practice sneaking up on people in rundown factories that have no one to sneak up on. And…." Sailor Jupiter was interupped by screams coming from the direction of the west-end of the factory.

"The scouts!" Sailor Moon, Jupiter, and Tuxedo Mask said in unison.

They ran off in the direction that the screams had come from. The screams suddenly stopped.

"Where are they?" Sailor Moon exclaimed worridly.

"There!" Tuxedo Mask pointed to a storage shed which doors were open a crack.

They ran inside to find Sailor Venus, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Mars lying lifelessly on the dirty floor of the old shed.

"Scouts!" Sailor Moon yelled as she ran to them. "What happened?!?"

Sailor Mars’s eyes fluttered open. "Lu…. na…" She whispered weakly. "Luna… is…. brainwashed." Sailor Mars tried to sit up but fell down weakly. Sailor Moon helped her to get to her feet.

"Brainwashed?" Sailor Moon asked in surprise.

Just then a small girl with short navy hair and a white bodysuit and blue skirt with a feathered emblem on her chest appeared in front of them.

"WHO ARE YOU!" Sailor Moon demanded.

"I am Kiri! The youngest of the four guardians!" The little girl said.

"The four guardians?" Sailor Jupiter questioned.

"It’s her!" Sailor Mars said. "MARS FIREBALLS CHARGE!" Sailor Mars screamed in anger as her to hand came together in a gun shape and fire swirled around her two joined fingers. The fire shot at the girl. Kiri smiled and yelled, "KIRI ELEMENTAL DEFENSE!" Kiri stuck out her hand and water swirled around it as Mars’ fireballs bounced harmlessly away.

"My fire!" Mars exclaimed in anger.

"I call upon the power of Jupiter! Help me defeat this evil! JUPITER THUNDER DRAGON!!!"

Jupiter sprang into the air and electricity surrounded her then died away. Jupiter fell to the ground.

"Wha…?" she said, confused.

By this time Mercury had regained consciousness and was on her feet, typing wildly on her computer.

"It seems that this girl is using the power of water to base her attacks. She also uses some kind of magic or power we have never experienced! And the strange thing is…. It’s NOT evil or dark! It is actually much like our power, but much more advanced!"

"Huh?" The other scouts cried out in unison.

"If she’s not evil… how can we fight her!" Sailor Moon questioned.

"If she uses water, maybe I can give it a try." Sailor Mercury said, shrugging her shoulders.

"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!" A steady stream of water shot from Mercury and headed for Kiri. Kiri spread open her arms and legs and simply absorbed the attack.

"What are we going to do!" Sailor Moon whined.

"Wait a sec, scouts. We have used our powers on her, but she hasn’t done anything to us!" Tuxedo Mask pointed out.

"But Mars said she hurt her!"

"Did not," Mars objected.

"But..." Sailor Moon stared but was cut off.

"I thought she was the one that hurt Luna." Mars confessed.

"Someone hurt Luna?" Sailor Moon cried. She looked around the shed and saw Luna lying bloody on the dirt floor. Sailor Moon ran over to the hurt cat.

Kiri floated down and shook Mars’ hand. "It’s ok, I understand, but I’m on your side. I am the youngest of the four guardians. We have come to help you."

"Help us? But we don’t need help!" Sailor Moon yelled, insulted.

Kiri stuck her chin up and said, "FINE THEN!" and disappeared.

"What a rude brat!" Sailor Venus decided.

"Uh huh." The rest of the scouts agreed.

"She really thinks she’s all that," added Mars. "I mean, laughing at my fire like that! I bet we could toast her and the other ‘guardians’ or whatever they are!"

The other scouts nodded their heads in agreements.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

The next day the scouts met at Rei’s temple for a meeting and to consult the fire. As usual, Usagi was late.

"Usagi-chan! Why are you always late!" Rei scolded. Usagi stuck her tongue out as a reply and Usagi and Rei were soon well into ANOTHER of their fights. Sweatdrops quickly appeared on the other scout’s forehead.

"Where’s Luna?" Ami asked Usagi, changing the subject.

"After I took care of her she ran off, then she never came home last night" Usagi sniffed sadly.

"Oh." The scouts replied in unison.

Suddenly Grandpa ran in screaming his head off.

Rei quickly stood up.

"Grandpa! What’s wrong?"

"She’s FLOATING!" he wailed then ran out of the room.

The senshi quickly stood up.

"Oooooo…. Probably more of those nega-creeps that brainwashed Luna!" Usagi yelled angrily.

The scouts quickly trasformed and rushed outside to see a young woman with long, wavy greenish coloured hair floating in the air above them. She was dressed in a white bodysuit with a green skirt and a feathered emblem on her chest.

"Who are you?" Sailor Venus demanded.

"I am Mizu, second youngest and smartest of the Four Guardians." the girl answered.

Sailor Mercury looked at her computer.

"This ‘guardians’ powers seem to focus on the element earth." Mercury informed.

"THEM AGAIN!?! How dare they show their faces after insulting us like that?" Mars screamed.

Sailor Moon backed away from Mars.

"Insulted us? How dare they show their face? I wouldn’t go that far…" Sailor Moon said in surprise.

"SHUT-UP SAILOR MOON!" Mars screamed. "MARS FIRE EGNITE!"

A stream of fireballs shot towards Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon gasped and screamed.

"Sailor Moon!" Sailor Jupiter yelled in fear and dove in front of Sailor Moon, taking the blast.

"Sailor Jupiter!" Sailor Moon whimpered and knelt beside her hurt friend.

Sailor Mars powered up for another attack, "MARS FIRE…"

Sailor Mars was tackled from behind by Sailor Venus before she could finish her attack.

"Sailor Mars! What ARE YOU DOING!" Venus cried.

Mars picked Venus up over her head and threw her into the wall of the temple, tearing half the wall down.

"Sailor Mars, stop this right now!" Sailor Mercury ordered.

Sailor Mars just smirked.

"You have always been physically weakest, Sailor Mercury. Are you going to say sorry, or face me." Mars taunted.

Sailor Mercury stood her ground. Sailor Mars began to punch, kick, and claw her way towards Mercury. Mercury tried frantically to dodge away from Mars. All this time Mizu just floated in the air and watched.

<Hmmmmm…> Mizu thought to herself. <Maybe these scouts are weaker than we thought. I better talk to the others> In a flash of green light Mizu disappeared.

Sailor Mars looked up at the light for a moment and Mercury saw her advantage.

"MERCURY BUBBLES BLAST!"

The senshi were surrounded in mist from Sailor Mercury’s attack. The senshi heard Mars scream an inhuman scream in anger.

"I’ll get you! I’ll kill you all!" She wailed angrily.

The mist slowly began to clear.

"What?" Sailor Moon asked. "Normally the mist doesn’t clear so quickly Sailor Mercury…"

Sailor Mars’s head snapped back and she began to wail. A dark, black form came from her and she fell to the ground. The dark shape formed into a beast that resembled a woman. The beast had long claws and fangs. It was wearing a fur that resembled tiger fur and had a bluish green tinted skin.

"I am the DARK CREATURE!" It screeched.

"Uh oh…" Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury said in unison as they exchanged startled glances.

Sailor Venus began to stir. The creature saw this and pointed one of its long claws at Venus. The claw shot out at Venus and plunged into her neck. After a few moments she fell silent again.

Mercury typed wildly into her computer. "The claw is poisened! It is killing Sailor Venus!" she exclaimed

"Sailor Venus!" Sailor Moon yelled.

"JUPITER THUNDER CRASH!"

Sailor Moon spun around to see Jupiter’s thunder electricute the creature.

"Glad you’re better!"Sailor Moon said happily.

Sailor Jupiter limped weakly over to Sailor Moon.

"I saw what that thing did to Venus and decided to fake until I had a good chance to attack." Jupiter explained.

The creature got up again and shot a claw into Sailor Mars.

"I’ll be back!" It screamed.

Then the creature shot a claw into the air. The claw made an orange and black portal. The creature dove through the portal and it closed behind it.

Sailor Moon, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Mercury ran over to Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus.

The next day after school the senshi met at Usagi’s house and walked to the hospital to visit their friends. When they arrived a tall nurse in a white uniform led them to their friend’s room. They were saddened to see they were still unconscious.

"Oh Rei, Mina, come on guys, you gotta wake up." Usagi whispered.

The same nurse that had showed them where their friend’s room was entered the room.

"Are you the kids that brought these two in?" The nurse asked.

"Ummm… uh… yeah," Mako answered. "Why?"

"Well, the doctor wants to know what poisoned them." The nurse said.

"We don’t know," Usagi said quickly, exchanging a glance with Mako. "We arrived at Rei’s temple and we saw them on the ground with these thorny, claw things in their necks." Usagi explained.

<We can’t very well tell the nurse, "Hey! We’re Sailor scouts! And we were fighting a bad guy and it poisoned Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus!"> Usagi thought to herself.

The nurse’s beeper started going off. She hurridly looked at it then ran out of the room.

"Uh… Bye…" Mako said, but the nurse was long gone.

Usagi turned to Mako.

"Well, that went well."

Mako rolled her eyes.

"Hopefully Rei and Mina will wake up soon! They HAVE to get better." Mako sniffed.

"Yeah." Usagi answered.

"Hey! I have an idea! Let’s go buy them some chocolates and flowers! That way when they get up they’ll know we stuck by them." Mako exclaimed.

"Ok! Maybe we can test some of the chocolates too…Mmmmmm" Usagi said greedily.

They turned around to walk out the door, but saw a beautiful girl with shoulder-length white hair blocking the way. She was wearing a white bodysuit with a dark blue skirt with a feathered emblem on her chest.

"Who are you?" Mako demanded, knowing it was another guardian.

"I am Kaze, second oldest and prettiest of the four guardians." The strange girl answered.

Mako went into a ready–to-fight stance. Usagi looked at her in surprise.

"Mako-chan," she scolded. "We’ve had enough fighting! We had better find out who are enemies and who our allies are first. We don’t even know who the ‘four guardians’ are."

Kaze nodded and smiled. "I need to talk to you." She explained.

She walked out of the room and Usagi and Mako followed her. They walked to the hospital cafeteria and sat down at a table near an open window where the wind was blowing through. Kaze seemed to get stronger when she felt the wind.

<I’m no Ami… but I think this ‘guardian’ get her powers from the wind> Mako thought to herself.

A waitress came and took their orders. Mako ordered a hamburger, Kaze ordered tea, and Usagi ordered a Milkshake, a hamburger, fries, and donuts.

Kaze relaxed back in her chair, her hair blowing in the breeze from the window. She sighed and then got serious again. Their orders arrived and Usagi dived in, food flying everywhere. Kaze leaned on the table.

"We are the Four Guardians, and our mission is to protect our planet from the evil that threatens it. But now the evil has come here, to earth, and it is our responsibility to destroy it."

"But we can take care of ourselves," Usagi said. "And how did you know we were the Sailor Scouts?"

"No, you can’t take care of yourselves. The enemy can brainwash anyone it wants with the blink of an eye. And we knew who you were because we know everything about everyone. We have the ability to look into people minds, only in emergencys though.

Your friend Sailor Mars and Luna were both brainwashed." Kaze explained.

"But why hasn’t Luna come back?" Mako asked.

"Luna hasn’t come back because she is recovering. When a person, or animal in this case, is recovering from the enemy’s brainwashing treatment, he or she usually draws into seclusion. The person or animal wants to be alone and will act very shy or quiet."

"Poor Luna!" Usagi sniffed.

"Yeah," Mako agreed. "So, Kaze, what is this enemy that is so strong?" she asked.

" Well," She said, taking a break to sip her tea, "They are the Dark Creatures, millions of them, led by their master, who calls herself the trainer, who’s name is Matraiga. Trainer Matraiga." She rolled her eyes. She sipped her tea and then set the empty cup and saucer aside.

"Well, you girls finished?" She asked, getting up.

"Yup!" Usagi answered, mouth full of food.

"All done!" Mako also answered, wiping her hands on a napkin.

Usagi and Mako also got up.

"Let’s just go say goodbye to Rei and Mina then go." Mako said.

"Ok!" Usagi agreed.

They walked back up to the hospital room that the other girls were in, Kaze following. When they got there they were surprised to see doctors and nurses frantically rushing about.

"What’s going on?" Mako demanded.

A nurse ranning by her answered with, "Their conditions have worsened to a critical level. They’re dying."

"No!" Usagi yelled.

Kaze waved her hand and all the nurses and doctors fell unconscious.

"What are you doing," Mako yelled. "Maybe you are are evil after all!" She charged at Kaze and tried to kick her and punch her but was unsucessful. Her attempts seemed to just blow away.

"Sora," Kaze whispered. "We need you."

A girl with light blue hair appeared before them.

"I am Sora. Oldest and leader of the Four Guardians." The girl said.

‘Ummm… Kaze, what’s going on." The girl said looking around. Then she noticed Mina and Rei. "Oh." she whispered.

Sora walked over in between the two hospital beds. She raised her hands over her head and light blue, dark blue, green and white light swirled around her hands. She lowered her hand and the light kept swirling around her hands, growing larger and larger. She pointed her hands towards the two bodies and the light left her and swirled around the bodies of Mina and Rei. The light swirled and swirled but after a while it slowly disappeared. When it was fully gone Sora smiled.

"We have done all we can for the moment." Sora said. With that, Sora and Kaze disappeared.

"They killed them!" Usagi yelled in anger.

The nurses and doctors started to get back up. They seemed very dazed and confused.

"What going on?" a nurse asked.

A doctor walked over to Mina’s bed and another over to Rei’s. Bewildered looks came over their faces. One doctor looked at the other.

"It’s a miracle!" The doctor yelled and the other agreed. The nurses ran over to the beds and began to fiddle with various instruments. A nurse came over to Mako and Usagi.

"It’s a miracle. The poison is totally gone from their systems. They’re going to be fine." the nurse said, smiiling.

Usagi and Mako looked at eachother.

"Usagi-chan, I can’t believe it. We were wrong about the guardians." Mako whispered to Usagi.

"I know." Usagi whispered back and smiled happily.

The nurses thinned out as did the doctors, as there was no longer a need for them at the time. Mina and Rei’s eyes slowly opened and Rei mumbled, "What happened." She sat up, as did Mina, with Usagi and Mako’s help. Usagi was still a little afraid of Rei, but she knew the guardians and fixed her so that she was fully recovered.

"Wow. I feel like I’ve been asleep for a million years." Mina said softly. Then she looked around. "Oh my god. Where am I Usagi?" She asked in fear.

"A hospital." Usagi answered.

A nurse came into the room and looked over Mina and Rei.

"You’re fine! It was as if you were never sick in the first place! The doctor wants to keep you here for a couple more days though, for observation. Can I get you two anything to eat?" the nurse exclaimed to Rei and Mina.

"Yeah! I’m starved!" Rei answered.

"Same!" Mina agreed.

"Okay." The nurse said, then scurried off.

Shortly after that a different nurse came in carrying two trays of food.

"Here you are," She said, smiling. "Eat up! You need the energy."

Mina and Rei looked at the food then at eachother. Mako and Usagi turned away.

"Doesn’t look too inviting." Rei muttered.

"Well, food is food!" Mina decided and dove in. Rei agreed and also began eating.

Mako backed away from the two chowhounds.

"They’re almost as bad as you, Usagi!" She exclaimed.

Usagi didn’t answer; she just glared at Mako, then smiled and gave her a friendly shove. Then they noticed that the nurse was still there, watching Rei and Mina eat, her dumb smile still plastered to her face.

"Ummm… hi…" Usagi said to the nurse. The nurse just smiled wider.

"Hi again!" She chirped.

"Are you waiting for something?" Usagi asked.

"Yes actually." She answered.

"What?" Usagi asked curiously.

Suddenly Mina and Rei threw down their trays and got up. They jumped into the air and underwent a trandformation in midair. When they landed they had turned into two siberian tigers. They’re eyes were red and their glossey coat of orange were covered in black stripes. They growled and took places on either side of the nurse.

"That." The nurse answered Usagi sweetly.

The nurse sprang into the air and orange and black ribbons of light swirled around her body. Her short, brown hair grew long and black. Her white nurse’s uniform was soon a tiger skin that barely covered her body. A long, dark, brown whip with nine tails was in her left hand. Her round pupils were now cat-like slits in her green eyes. Her red painted nails were now black and sharper than any knife.

She sat in the air, in between the two tigers, smiling sweetly with black lips and almost fang-like teeth.

"I am Trainer Matraiga." She said.

Mako and Usagi looked at eachother.

"Let’s get our friends back, Mako-chan." Usagi said sternly.

Mako nodded her head in agreement.

"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!"

"JUPITER STAR POWER!"

Sailor Jupiter jumped up and kicked Matraiga’s face and she fell out of the the air and onto the cold tile floor.

"You’ll pay for that!" Matraiga whispered angrily. She took out her whip and it’s tails lashed out at Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter. They cried out in pain. Then the whip wrapped around their necks, strangling them. Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter fell to their knees. Sailor Jupiter grabbed the whip and pulled as hard as she could. Matraiga lost hold of the whip and went flying. Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter unwound the whip from their necks and took deep breaths. Sailor Jupiter opened the hospital window and threw the whip out of the room.

"Let’s see how strong you are without you fancy little whip, Matraiga." Jupiter shouted.

"I don’t need THAT to keep control of THEM." She countered.

Suddenly the two tigers that had been standing in wait suddenly pounced on Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter. Sailor Moon screamed.

"Come on guys! Don’t do this! Fight it! Snap out of…." Sailor Moon yelled but was cut off by one of them slicing her face open with its sharp claws.

"Sailor Moon!" Jupiter yelled. The other tiger began to claw her.

"WIND GUST BLAST!"

"WATER PRESSURE HOLD!"

Suddenly, Matraiga fell to the ground. The tigers ran over to their ‘master’ and the scouts got up to see Kiri holding Matraiga to the ground with a steady stream of water pressure. Kaze, who was beside her, smiled. In a flash two chains were around the tiger’s neck and holding the end of the chain was Mizu. A light blue light surrounded them as Sora blasted them. Jupiter was about to demand what she was doing… but she trusted Sora. Inside the light the tiger began to change back into Rei and Mina. They growled and hissed and walked around on all fours before they relized what they were doing. Then they looked at eachother and then at Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter and said,

"Uh… guys. What’s going on?"

Sailor Moon burst out laughing.

"What’s so funny odango-head!" Rei demended.

Sailor Moon just continued to laugh.

Mina looked at the scene around her.

"I take it that it’s sailor scout time?" she asked.

"Yep." Jupiter answered.

"VENUS STAR POWER!"

Rei stopped fighting with Sailor Moon when she heard Mina and Jupiter.

"MARS STAR POWER!"

Matraiga began to laugh and get up, defying the heavy stream of water that was keeping her down.

"She too strong!" Kiri wailed.

"Kiri!" Mizu, Kaze, and Sora yelled, but it was too late.

Matraiga stood up and Kiri was blasted to the ground. Next she created a huge net and Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, Kaze, Mizu, Kiri, and Sora were trapped.

Just then they all heard a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Matraiga said sweetly in her nurse voice.

"Ami Mizuno. I here to visit my friends. May I come in?"

"Yes come ahead in! All of your friends are here right now!" Matraiga said invitingly.

"No Ami!" The others yelled, but were gagged.

Ami came in smiling innocently. Matraiga grabbed her and threw her in the net. Ami screamed.

"Hello ‘Ami". Or should we say, Sailor Mercury!" Matraiga laughed.

"How did she…" Sailor Mars began but was cut off by Mizu’s answer.

"She can read minds too."

Mars just looked at Kaze, confused, but Jupiter and Moon understood.

"Cover me." Sora whispered to Kaze. Kaze moved in front of Sora, hiding her from Matraiga’s view. Sora took a small dagger from where it was tucked just above her skirt.

"For those of you that don’t know, I am Trainer Matraiger. Ruler of Animalia, the most glorius dimension known to this puny universe. Next, I will be ruler of this universe, which is so close within my grasp. All that is standing in my way is you," Matraiga sneered, "But now, now I will be rid of you. All of you."

"ANIMAL INSTICT DEATH!!!!!" Matraiga yelled as energy formed in her hands. She stuck her her hands and pointed them at the net. The energy hit the net just as Sora cut the net open and yelled,

"Get DOWN!" All the scouts and guardians crouched on the floor.

Sailor Moon jumped into the air and flew at Matraiga, hoping to knock her down. Matraiga stuck her hands up and her nails grew. Sailor Moon saw the dagger like claws that awaited her but could not stop. She continued to fly through the air. The nails went in the front of Sailor Moon and out the back. They then resumed their normal size and Sailor Moon fell bloodily to the ground, ten gaping holes left in chest.

"Sailor Moon!" the guardians yelled.

Matraiga laughed wickedly.

"USAGI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the other scouts yelled. "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"

"MARS FIREBIRD STRIKE!"

"JUPITER THUNDER DRAGON!"

"VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!"

"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!"

Red, green, orange, and blue light struck Matraiga and she wailed in pain. For a moment the scouts thought they had done it, but the guardians bowed their head solomnly and then the dust cleared. Matraiga still stood her ground, while most of the hospital room was blown away.

She laughed again, dirty and bloody, a smile still stuck on her face. But this time it wasn’t a sweet smile, it was a smile full of evil and hate.

"Hahaha what now? Without your leader let’s see ha good you are. No leader, no leader, no leader, no leader, no leader, no leader, no leader, no leader." Matraiga taunted.

"Bye Sailor Moon. I’ll be happy to rule the Moon Kingdom for you. Beryl was a fool. It gave me joy to watch how she destroyed everything then was destroyed. Not a pity. Not a pity as all." She said as she kicked Sailor Moon’s body away as if it were a toy that had outgrown its playfulness.

"Oh yes. I will enjoy ruling this universe and it’s pitiful excuses for life forms very much." She stated.

"We cannot let you do this," Sora answered. "We will not let you have this world."

She looked at her collegues and they nodded.

"SORA!"

"KAZE!"

"MIZU!"

"KIRI!"

The Four Guardians joined hands and glowed. Kiri turned into a blue light and shot into Mars’s tiara. Mizu turned into a green light and shot into Jupiter’s tiara. Kaze turned into a light orange light and shot into Venus’s tiara. Sora turned into a fuscia light and shot into Mars’s tiara. The scouts bow’s disappeared and were replaced by feathered emblems with each of their planetary symbols on the center of the emblem.

"We are the Four Guardians of Princess Serenity and we will not let you destroy her or what is hers!" they yelled.

"She’s DEAD!" Matraiga screamed.

"But her spirit lives on." They answered.

Sailor Moon, lying in a pool of blood on the floor, began to glow and her tiara disappeared it was replaced by a glowing moon on her forehead.

"MARS RED ARROW STRIKE!" A red arrow shot from Mars’s outstreatched hand and plunged into Matraiga’s chest.

"JUPITER CLEFED SWORD DETROY!" Jupiter raised her hand and a green sword appeared in it. She threw the sword and it spun through the air into Matraiga’s neck.

"VENUS HEART’S BEAUTY CURSE!" Venus twirled her hand around and an orange glowing heart appeared. It shot for Matraiga and hit her forehead where it turned into a crown and began to suck Matraiga’s evil esscence out.

"MERCURY ICE CRYSTAL DEFY!" Mercury brought her hand above her head and blue glowing ice swirled around it. It joined into one huge dagger-sharp ice crystal. Mercury brought her hand down and the crystal shot for Matraiga and plunged into Matraiga’s stomache.

The sword, arrow, crown, and crystal glowed and Matraiga screamed and wailed. Eventually Matraiga couldn’t take it anymore and shattered into a million pieces. The pieces disappeared, as did the holes in Sailor Moon. The hospital room reformed itself and Sailor Moon got up.

"What happened?" She asked in bewilderment.

The scouts were about to explain but realised they weren’t in their scouts uniforms anymore. Everything was exactly like it had been before that fateful day at the factory.

They looked at eachother and sighed. Mako stepped forward.

"We don’t quite know ourselves." She answered with a bewildered and tired look on her face.

Just then Usagi noticed something sticking out of her pant’s pocket.

<"Hmmm. What’s this?"> she thought to herself.

She took it out and found that it was a letter addressed to Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts. She opened it.

It read:

Dear Sailor Moon and the Sailor senshi,

Attatched at the bottom of the letter was a gold and silver feathered emblem pin.
