Nymphis, now fully healed from her injuries, walked to the throne room. "My Queen, I am ready to take the Gem back from those Sailors!" "Oh, you don't have to worry about that anymore, Silencis already did it for me. All you need to do is to concentrate on working with Silencis to get the Pure Hearts." Queen Shadow explained Nymphis' next mission. "Silencis, you Majesty?!" She was taken aback by the Queen's choice. "Yes, you will work with Silencis. What is wrong with that?" "Uhh..nothing, my Queen, but why not Blankor? or even Ebonite? Is is necessary to go with Silencis?" Nymphis asked in desperation. "No. Blankor is ill and Ebonite is too lazy. Silencis is the only one who will serve me well." "Yes, Your Majesty.." Nymphis mumbled. She walked out in shock and anger at both Silencis and the Queen. How dare Silencis take her job, and how dare the Queen allow him to..and now this? "Both can not be forgiven" she thought to herself. Although Silencis was considerably onler than Nymphis, Nymphis had been trained by the Queen herself, and had always thought herself as better than him, but now she felt neglected, and all the pain she had gone through had just been ignored. "Silencis, I will have revenge!" She thought. "You too. Pluto...It is because of you that this has happened to me! I will get you!! Both of you.." A strange look came over Nymphis' pale face. She was neither angry nor happy, yet a twisted smile formed on her lips, and rage in her eyes. She looked insane, her mind concentrating on one concept nd one concept only. To kill anyone who stood in her way of victory. Her weakness had let her fail twice, and she was not going to let it happen again. Back on Earth, all of the Senshi were peacefully sleeping. Silencis was walking on a nearby street, Gem in hand. He was going to get those hearts himself. Nymphis was not needed, she would just fail again, and she was a great annoyance to him. The Gem flickered slightly, signaling the presence of a Pure Heart. He walked closer and closer to Usagi's house by the minute. "Ah ha! It looks like im going to get a Heart tonight!" Luna was awakened by a nightmare of all the Sailors dying, and not being able to save them. She shuddered at the thought, and tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't because she felt that something was terribly wrong. "Usagi, Chibi-Usa! I think there is something evil close by. Stay alert girls!" Luna woke up Usagi and Chibi-Usa from a deep sleep. Everyone slept with one eye slightly open, and just as Usagi was about to doze off, she was reawakened by the sound of her window unlatching. Silencis saw the Gem glow brighter than he has ever seen before. Then, he saw Chibi-Usa sleeping alongside Usagi. "Haha..two Hearts with one stone!" He smiled, and stuffed the Gem into his shirt. He tiptoed quietly to Usagi's bed, but was petrified as he heard two loud henshin phrases, "Silver Crystal Moon Power!" and "Pink Crystal Moon Power!" Mother and daughter appeared in full senshi uniform. "I am Princess Serenity of the Moon! In order to save the future and Crystal Tokyo, I must destroy you!" "And I am from the future, Crystal Tokyo, Sailor Chibi-Moon! You will pay for invading our world!" They stood back to back, arms crossed. "Oh, really." Silencis rolled his eyes at them. He threw a black energy ball at Usagi, flinging her into a wall. "Oh, look, it's only the little one now~" Chibi-Moon looked at her mother, crumppled up on the floor, then glared at Silencis. "Nobody does that to my mother!!" She clenched her fists and ran towards Silencis and pummeled her fists into his stomach. "Uugghh..." He doubled over, and his face met Chibi-Moon's fist once more as she sharply drove her fist into his face through a powerful uppercut. Silencis' face was bruised, and his stomach still aching, but he shook off the pain and stood upright. On the floor, Usagi stirred as Silencis delivered a blow to Chibi-Moon's head. Usagi was brought back to her senses by the sound of a loud thud and her daughter's scream. "Noo~ Chibi-Usa!!" Usagi shrieked as she stood up, in spite of the bruises she had just recieved and faced Silencis. Her hair blew in the soft breeze that came through the window, "Don't you dare do anything to her!!!!" "Crystal Heart Elimination!" Silencis tried desperatly to move out of the way, but he failed and the beams of light surrounded him. He made an energy ball to create a force field around him, but it was penetrated and Silencis fell to the ground. Usagi was taken aback as she heard a familiar voice. "Silencisss!!!!" Nymphis charged through the open window. "How dare you take my place! You will never be forgiven for this, Silencis!!!!" She hurled energy balls at him, but he was unaffected, for the dark energy was the same as his own and could not harm him. Nymphis frowned in frustration, and resorted to kicking Silencis in the back and punching him in the jaw. "Next time, I will kill you..this is your last chance to live." She flew off into the dark sky. Silencis regained his posture and concentrated on his mission. The members of the Shadow Kingdom had the ability to heal quickly, and Silencis was almost back to his normal strength. Usagi was bewildered at the scene. She had no idea that Nymphis would help her destroy Silencis. She stood in the middle of her room, blinking at random moments. She was blown back by an energy ball and was rudely knocked back into reality. The princess attacked again, "Crystal Heart Elimination!" This time, Silencis knew exactly how to dodge the attack. He threw an energy ball at Princess Serenity to counter the attack, and both attacks met and exploded with a bang. He jumped out the window to avoid the blast, and Sailor Moon with Chibi-Moon in her arms followed right behind him. The alley below Usagi's room was soon flashing with white, yellow, and black energy. "What is this? I can't hit him!" Usagi thought as she was starting to feel tired. She was on the verge of giving up, when she heard voices in the distance. "Thank God..its Rei and Minako" she sighed a sigh of relief. Silencis was attacked twice at one time, as Mars and Jupiter yelled, "Flame Bomb!" "Lightning Shock!" Burning electricity raced towards him at amazing speeds so fast he could not dodge them. He stumbled, but managed to stay standing. "Why is he so strong?" Rei thought. "This is going to be impossible.." Soon, all of the senshi had gathered around Silencis, and although he was bombarded by attacks, he stayed standing. Nobody knew how he could stand them, but he did. "Everyone! attack together!" The senshi nodded once, and gathered up all their energy for the combined attack. Silencis fell as all of senshi attacked him together, for the power of the full senshi was too much for him to stand. Now being greatly angered, he spread his arms and black and grey beams flashed everywhere, immidiatly taking down Sailor Neptune, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Mercury. "Michiru!!!" Sailor Uranus ran to where Neptune was lying, and stroked her hair lovingly. "You'll be alright Michiru, don't worry..." Uranus gently put Michiru's head back on the ground, overflowing with new determination. Her short hair blew back and the glowing sign of Uranus could be seen. "Golden Spacedust Storm!" Silencis was blinded by the gold dust, and was feeling his way around the ground. He shot a stream of energy at Uranus' position, but she was no longer there. When Silencis could see again, Sailor Mars did a jumping kick to his head, but he blocked it, throwing Mars to the ground in the process. "Thunderbolt Electrify!" Lightning shot down at Silencis, but he jumped safely out of the way, and held out his hand, and aimed his next attack at Jupiter, who also became unconcious. "Earth Tremble!" Silencis stepped away from the attack aimed at his feet, and threw energy balls at Uranus, which she dodged. Then, unexpectedly, he shot a larger one at her, and she instantly fainted. Only Sailor Pluto and the Princess remained. "Princess!" Chibi-Moon cried from behind. "You can't beat him with your power alone! You need my power too!" "No Chibi-Usa, you can't die for me!" Serenity's eyes started to well up with tears as she thought about what she would do if she lost her precious daughter. "No, it isn't for you..it's for the universe, the future, Crystal Tokyo..." Chibi-Usa's Crystal brightened, pink ribbons flying towards Serenity. Chibi-Usa who was already weak, helplessly fell. Words formed at Serenity's mouth, "Double Moon Power!" A sign of two moons, one smaller than the other appeared on her tiara, and her short skirt elongated into an ankle length skirt that flowed over her feet. She was now dressed in an elegant dress of white with pink sleeves. "Twin Moon Eclipse!" She yelled. Two spheres, one pink and one white, encircled each other and created a twisted energy stream of pink and white. Pluto joined the attack with her Death Chain. The two attacks flew at Silencis, who did all he could to escape, but they were too fast for him and he was hit full on. Silencis screamed a blood curdling scream, and only a dark shadow remained, then the wind floated it off into the distance. The Dark Gem was lying in the middle of the alley. Usagi collapsed to her knees, and looked at Chibi-Moon who looked like she was peacefully sleeping. No matter how hard she tried to hold back tears, she couldn't, and weeped at the loss of her daughter. Hotaru walked over to Chibi-Usa and held out her hand from which healing powers were emitted. Color rose back into Chibi-Usa's cheeks, and Hotaru fainted from the drain of energy. "Chibi-Usa! You're alive! Thank you, Hotaru..."Usagi whispered, swallowing back tears. She looked around at the dreadful scene around her. All of her friends were lying unconcious in the alley, still in Sailor uniform. She started to cry uncontrollably, and she held her face in her hands. After a while, a warm, furry animal rubbed against her arm. "Luna?" Usagi looked up. "Usagi, I saw that you were in trouble so I called the other Sailors. Thank God they got here on time." "Oh, Luna..I don't know if I could have survived if you didn't call them!" Tears were still streaming down Usagi's face. "There, there...we'll bring them into the house and they'll be fine by tomorrow" Luna looked up at Usagi reassuringly.

Queen Shadow paced back and forth. Silencis was nowhere to be found, and the Gem was also gone. "I trust him for one minute and he goes off taking the Gem?! Remind me never to give him a mission ever again!" Queen Shadow said under her breath. Nymphis had returned to Earth and had found the Dark Gem by itself in the alley. She had concluded that Silencis either dropped it, or was killed. She hoped he was not dead yet, she wanted to be the one to kill him, and she would if she ever got the chance. Nymphis returned the Gem to its proper place, and sat on her bed. Her insanity had come over her, and her eyes had turned bright red, the color of blood. Her face also always seemed to have that twisted look, and her giggles no longer echoed through the palace. All she ever thought about was revenge, and killing anyone who prevented her from it. Her mentality had also gone wild, and she became brutal and dangerous. She heard Queen Shadow yelling her name. "Nymphis!!!!!" "What now..." Nymphis thought as she walked to the room in which she had spent so much time with the Queen in. Now all she felt was hatred towards her once beloved Queen, and spat at the entrance. "Yes, Queen Shadow?" "Have you seen Silencis anywhere? He seems to have left with the Gem, but he has not returned yet." "I do not know where he is, but he was on Earth a few hours ago. I found the Gem and brought it back to the Palace." "I wonder where he could be...He's probably dead. Good riddance! i never needed his smart comments anyways. Nymphis! You are in charge of the mission again! Do your best and don't fail this time." Queen Shadow redirected her words to Nymphis, who walked away without an answer. "I will never do that bitch's work ever again! I am not owned by that disgusting woman...She can never tell me what to do now!"

All of the girls woke up with a good amount of bruises and cuts, but no serious injuries. Makoto made breakfast for everyone, and they ate happily. "Girls, I've been thinking about it a lot lately, and I think it would be best if you destroyed the Shadow Kingdom. We cannot let them go on with this madness." Luna broke the news to the Sailor Senshi. "But, how Luna? Our powers were barely strong enough to defeat Silencis! How can we annhialate the whole Kingdom?" Usagi reminded Luna of how they defeated Silencis. "Yes, Usagi I know that, but there is also something else I must tell you." Luna said. "Inner senshi, you have always had the power of your Planetary Jewels, but the power has never been known to you, because I did not think it was necessary to reveal their powers to you yet. But now a powerful enough enemy has arrived, so I will tell you about this power. The jewels you have on your tiaras are the Planetary Jewels, each from your guardian planet. Usagi, you have one too, and it is the Moon Diamond. Ami, you are eqquiped with the Ice Sapphire, Rei, you have the Fire Ruby, Minako, you hold the power of the Love Topaz, and Makoto, you have the Thunder Emerald. These powers are even more powerful than your powers before, and they will help you destroy the Shadow Kingdom once and for all." Luna told the Sailor Senshi about their new powers. "Now, Outer Senshi, you too have new powers. You do not have Planetary Jewels, but you have the spirit of the gods to protect and empower you. Haruka, you may call upon the dream of Uranus. Michiru, the wave of Poseidon will guard you, and Hotaru, the fate of Hades is always with you. Setsuna, the clock of Chronos protects you. These powers you may call upon in any time of trouble. "Wow..so we've had these powers all along?" Minako asked. "And we didn't even know about it?" "That's right." Luna nodded. "But you must not go to the Palace of Shadows just yet, because you are too weak. You need time to regain your strength. Get your rest tonight and tomorrow morning be ready to teleport to the Palace. It should not be a long trip, we already know where it is, and it is not far from here." "You have a point there, Luna" Haruka agreed. "I think we should stay here again. No use in splitting up and being attacked or something, right?!" Minako suggested to everyone. "Sure! You guys are welcome to stay here again!" Usagi said.

Nymphis was still sitting in her room, which was all she did nowadays. She secluded herself from the rest of the Kingdom, and spent her days in her quarters, and her nights in the garden. Her eyes were always red from lack of sleep, but she never seemed to be tired. It seemed as if all the hurt, anger, and rage fueled her to keep going, never needing rest. "I will get you Sailor Senshi...for killing Silencis. He took away my job, and now you have taken away my job too...it was I who was supposed to destroy you and Silencis...everyone has failed me..." Nymphis thought constantly, anger building up inside her every time she thought about the Queens betrayal, Silencis taking her job, and the Senshi taking his life. She would kill them. She would kill them all, no matter what it takes.
