Makoto stood quietly on her balconey, the snow slowly drifting down onto everything around her. She stood leaning against the wall next to her door, arms crossed, holding her leather jacket close to her for warmth. She glanced up at the clouded sky, snow falling onto her lashes. She began making puffs of 'smoke' with her breath, blowing them into the cold night air. As she continued her little musings with the night air, her emerald eyes caught sight of a glimpse of a shadow coming towards her. She wasn't the slightest bit nervous or afraid when it landed next to her, revealing it was a gargoyle. "Any luck," she asked, continuing to make her puffs of smoke. The creature shook his head. "Iie. I think the negaverse is gone." Makoto remined silent, thinking. Her eyes focused on something far away, the creature didn't know what. "Mako-chan," he said, placing a large, taloned hand on her shoulder. "Are you alright?" She blinked and looked up at the gargoyle towering over her, then nodded. "Hai." She refocused her eyes back to the point out over down town Tokyo. "I'm just thinking." ~I've been searching for you I heard a cry within my soul I never had a yearning quite like this before Now here you are walking right through my door~ Ace snored peacefully at the end of Makoto's bed, curled up into a ball. Makoto herself was still awake, stareing up at the ceiling. Her hands were placed behind her head as she thought about the past. Tears welled in her eyes as the battle with Beryl replayed over and over and over again. Even tho she had been the first to die, she could still see the others die, one by one. After she had been killed, Ami had died next. Then Minako. And then Rei-chan. Lastly was Usagi, who had made a wish on the silver crystal before dying. Makoto rolled over onto her side, her right hand gently caresing the spot on her satin sheets Minako had once occupied by her side at night. One tear fell down her face, remebereing what they once had together. ------------------------------------------------------------ "So, Mako-chan," Ace said, emerging from the room, yawning. "What are we doing today?" The blue cat made his way to the kitchen table where Makoto sat with the local newspaper in her hand. "Nothing much," Makoto answered, taking a sip of her juice. "Really now," Ace said, jumping onto the table and taking a bagel from the dish in front of Makoto for himself. "No plans on stalking a pretty blue eyed, blonde teenager?" Makoto lowered the paper to glare at the cat, who smirked at her over his breakfast. "I do not stalk her," Makoto said in defense. "I just..." Ace looked at her, knowing he had hit a raw spot with Makoto, wishing he hadn't said what he had. "You what, Mako-chan," he asked in a soft tone. "Iie, its nothing." Makoto continued to glance thru the paper. Ace nodded in understanding, letting the subject go. Moments passed in silence. Makoto finished her juice, as Ace finished his bagel. He then looked at his ward, and smiled a bit. How she had grown up in the years he had known her... "Hmm," Makoto said. Ace cocked his head to the side. "'Hmmm' what, Mako-chan?" "Some one is trying to play tricks on the locals of Tokyo," Makoto said. "Why do you say that," Ace asked. Makoto looked up at him, folded the news paper, and turned it so Ace could a photo. "This is why," she said, pointing to the picture. "Looks like an odd crystal," Ace said, shrugging. "What of it?" "It may look like a crystal, but look at the back ground, Ace. Those are clouds." Ace looked at her, then back to the black and white picture. "You thinking its a UFO?" "Possiably," Makoto said. "But you said there were no traces of the negaverse, right?" "The negaverse, hai," Ace said. "But you know well enough that the negaverse was not the only evil force in the universe. Not to mention parallel ones. If thats a baddie, it could be from anywahere." Makoto nodded. "Hai." She sat silent for a moment, pondering something in her mind. "Do you think we should check this out?" Ace nodded. "Hai. Tonight. Where was it spotted?" Makoto took the paper and read the article, scanning for the place the photo was taken. "Heart of down town Tokyo." Ace chuckled. "You'd think these bad guys would find better places to strike in this town, ne?" Makoto smiled. "Hai. But they are, like you said, baddies. They're just plain stupid." ~All of my life Where have you been I wonder if I'll ever see you again And if that day comes I know we could win I wonder if I'll see you again~ "Have you two been getting any vibes lately," Ace asked as he walked in the park that afternoon with Luna and Artemis. "Hai," Luna said. "But they do not remind me of the negaverse. They remind me of a greater evil." "Evere sense it before," Ace asked. "Iie,"Artemis said. "This force we're sensing is completely new to us." Ace nodded. "Do you think if it is a new enemy, we could take them without the senshi?" "I don't know," Luna said. "I hope so. I'd hate to have to make them remember their past once again." Ace nodded. He had yet to tell them Makoto had retained her memory. Not to mention useing her senshi powers to fight the stray youma here and there left over from the rein of Beryl. "How's is Mako-chan doing," Artemis asked Ace. The blue cat smiled, sitting next to the water's edge. "She's doing fine. How's Minako?" "Oh she's still Minako," The white cat said, laughing. "You know, bubblely, spazzy, and forgetful. Just with out the senshi powers." "Sounds like Usagi," Luna said curtley. Ace laughed. ~A sacred gift of heaven For better, worse, wherever And I would never let somebody break you down Or take your crown never~ ------------------------------------------------------------ "That movie was great," exclaimed Naru as she and Usagi walked out of the movie theatre. "Hai," Usagi agreed happily. "'Bless the child' has been one of the best spooks I've ever seen!" Naru nodded her head in agreement, smiling. "The special affects were great!" The girls giggled as they walked down the dark streets, retelling their favorite scenes. The crowd around them was thick enough for them not to fear much, thinking if anyone attacked them, they'd be fine. However, the crowds began to thin as the continued to walk, making the girls somewhat nervous. "Usagi-chan," Naru said quietly. "Do you really think we should continue walking by ourselves?" "Why not? There are safety in numbers,"Usagi said. "And there are two of us. What could possiably happen?" Naru looked down at the ground, closed her eyes and smiled. "Hai, you're right." She opened her eyes to look at Usagi. "I was just....being.......silly....." Naru's face paled as she stared over Usagi's shoulder. Usagi blinked, confused at Naru's behaviour. "Naru-chan? Whats wrong?" Naru began to shake with fear, stuttering as she pointed. "Y-youma....b-b-behi-ind you..." Naur swallowed the lump in her throat as Usagi turned. "Nani?" Usagi turned to face a ten foot youma, eyes glowing red. The two girls couldn't make the features out, but it looked humanoid for the most part. Usagi's face paled as well as her eyes connected with the monster's. "Uh...oh..." The youma roared and slashed out the girls, who barely escaped from the attack. Tripping over one another, they fell to the ground, trembleing with fear. ------------------------------------------------------------ As the monster neared them, Usagi began to hear its voice chanting, "Where is she?! Where's the princess of the New Moon!?" Usagi grabbed Naru's hand and drug her up, yelling at her to run. The two ran from the youma, praying to any good that would listen to their pleas of help. ~All of my life Where have you been I wonder if I'll ever see you again And if that day comes I know we could win I wonder if I'll see you again~ "Slow night," Makoto said as she and Yung Hu in his tiger form sat atop of a building. "Hai," he agreed. They sat in silence longer, pondering their own thoughts. "Talk to the guardians lately," Makoto asked, turning her head to look skyward. "Hai," Yung Hu answered. "Today, in fact." "Whats up with those two?" "Nothing much. They are just on slight vacation with their wards. Doing like me and keeping an eye out for possiable danger." Makoto nodded. "Tell them about me yet?" "Iie. Best not to, I think." Makoto nodded again, and this time remained silent. Yung Hu glanced at her sideways, then his eyes averted forward once again. "Artemis says Minko is doing fine." Makoto remained silent. "Maybe you should find a way to talk to her," he said. "I know you miss her." "She's happier with out me." Yung Hu glanced at Makoto once again. "Only because she doesn't remeber what you two had. If you could find a way back into her life-" "I said NO!" Makoto said, glaring at her guardian. She blinked and shook her head. "Gomen." "No need for you to be," Yung Hu said, smiling gently. "I ju-" "'Just worry about me and my happiness'. Hai, I know." Yung Hu smiled more, but said nothing. Sighing, Makoto stood. "Ready to go home? We haven't seen the UFO nor any youm-" Makoto and Yung Hu jerked their heads towards a scream as it broke thru the silence. "Nevermind..." ------------------------------------------------------------ Usagi and Naru had gotten themselves cornored in a dead end alley. Their backs against the wall, they clung to each other out of fear, the youma still chanting demandingly. "Where's the princess of the New Moon!?" "Jupiter Thunder...CRASH!" The youma screamed in pain as the force collieded with its back. It slouched forward, falling to its hands and knees. Usagi and Naru ran forward to escape before the youma stood back up. Howevere, Naru hesiated after Usagi. The youma stood and turned just as she ran past, throwing one of its arms out hitting her in the back. She flew forward ten feet, hitting her head on a wall and falling down to the ground, not moving. Usagi ran to her, wondering if she was still alive. But she never made it. The youma grabbed her by the throat, holding her above her head. Usagi kept hold of the youma's wrsit, kicking and screaming for help, tears flowing down her face. Usagi prayed when she died, it would be quick. Not only for her, but also for Naru who layed helpless in the street. She closed her eyes tightly, the tears flowing harder. Then she fell. On impact, she cried out, then opened her eyes. In front of her, she saw a female warrior cad in a short skirted out fit that reminded her of a sailor's fuku. Next to the woman was a large blue tiger, helping her. Jupiter shot out attacks at the youma. However this creature was much stronger then any she had ever seen before. In her heart she knew she and Yung Hu would need Sailor Moon's help. "Usagi! You have to help them!" Usagi blinked and turned toward the voice screaming at her. But she saw no one nor nothing other than her black cat Luna. "Usagi! Help her!" Usagi blinked again. Her cat was speaking to her! I must have bonked my head with me knowing about it, Usagi thought to herself. Luna ran to Usagi, then to Jupiter and Yung Hu before concentrating on Usagi once again. "You have to help," Luna yelled again, frantic now that Jupiter and Yung Hu ere turning back slightly from the more powerful youma. "You can talk," Usagi exclaimed. "No time for that! You have to remeber, Usagi," Luna yelled at her ward once again. With out waiting for another interuption, Luna's cresent moon shot forward a beam that collided with Usagi's head.... ~I've searched through time I've always known That you were there upon your throne A lonely queen without her king I've longed for you my love forever~ Juiter hit the wall roughly as the youma shot its power at her. She slumped forward, her breathing hard and shallow. Blood dripped from her mouth and her left arm ached. She was almost positive it was broken. She heard an animalistic scream and dared to look up. What she saw was Yung Hu being flung forward roughly, hitting the same wall Naru had only minutes before. He too being knocked out cold. Jupiter struggled to stand, useing the wall behind her for support. The youma turned slowly to face her, and Jupiter's blood ran cold. She was extremly tired and sore, but could not stop fighting. Not until she was dead. The youma took one step toward her before being hit with a flying disk from the side. The golden disk cut the youma in half, making him turn to dust instantly. All that was left of him was a small stone with a black cresent moon that pointed down in the middle of it... Jupiter blinked and slowly turned her head to see Sailor Moon standing there, waiting for the disk to return to her. She caught it when it did, slowly replacaing the disk on her brow, it now in its original form, her tiara. Sailor Moon then smiled up at Jupiter, who greatly returned the smile before falling over on herleft side, darkness surrounding her. ~All of my life Where have you been I wonder if I'll ever see you again And if that day comes I know we could win I wonder if I'll see you again~
