Clarissa walked over to Ange and slipped into the seat across the table from him. The group had found him in the library and had decided Clarissa should be the one to go talk to him first. After a minute Ange looked up from his book and blessed Clarissa with his angelic smile.

“Clarry,” He said as his face assumed a downcast look. “I’m not supposed to be talking to you…”

Clarissa frowned. “Why not Ange? Aren’t we friends?”

Ange nodded quickly. “Yes we are! But Sean said we can’t talk to you because you’re a traitor.” He looked very sad. “Why did you leave us Clarry?”

Clarissa leaned across the table, taking his hands in hers. “Listen Ange I’m not a traitor! I’m just doing what I was destined to do, before we turned evil and thought the Senshi were the bad ones! Can’t you remember back in the Silver Millennium when we--”

Ange shook his head quickly cutting her off. “No Clarry how can you believe their lies?? You know as well as I that on the Moon Kingdom we were shunned, said not as good as the Senshi just because they were the heirs. Don’t you remember how we were always alone and how we discovered the Senshi were so spoiled by being heirs that they were doing evil things to the Moon Kingdom we loved but weren’t aloud to be a part of?”

Clarissa sat back in her chair, confused at the convincing tone to Ange’s voice. “It doesn’t sound like brainwashing…” She murmured.

“It isn’t!” Ange smiled. “You believe me don’t you Clarry? That’s what happened and we were so sad when the Senshi took you from us, won’t you come back to us now that you can see the lies in front of you?”

Clarissa eyes started to blur and slowly the evil energies started to gather around her again, while Ange took her hands with a smile.

Across the room Usagi and Mamoru were watching. Mamoru frowned sensing the evilness returning. “Something’s wrong Usako.” He murmered.

“What’s happening?” Usagi asked in a small voice, confused as she watched the two friends talking.

“I think he is making her remember the lies that were told to them, we’ve got to stop them!” Together the two moved over to the table where Usagi put her hands on Clarissa’s shoulders and Mamoru glared at Ange.

“Clarissa-chan,” Usagi said softly.

Clarissa blinked and looked up at the blond haired girl. “Usagi-chan,” she said, her eyes clearing again. “Thank you! I was starting to believe again…”

Usagi smiled. “No problem Clarissa-chan, you’re my friend and I don’t really want to have to fight you!”

Clarissa turned back to Ange. “Listen Ange, we weren’t shunned that’s wrong! I’m not an heir but I am a Senshi! I’m Sailor Earth,” Quietly she held up her eternal henshin stick.

Ange studied her quietly. “Why are you trying to trick me Clarry?” He asked in a sad voice.

“She’s not.” Mamoru stated. “My sister is telling you the truth and you just have to accept it.”

Ange stood up silently and turned walking towards an empty part of the library. Mamoru, Usagi and Clarissa glanced at each other then followed him.

Ange stood in the empty children’s room quietly, his whip in one hand. “Prove it,” he said softly.

Clarissa lifted her henshin pen. “Earth Eternal Make Up!” The white crown flew from the brown pen, swirling around her. Slowly vines grew out from the crown until it was a mass of vines, then the deep green vines surrounded her. With a flash of light the vines turned into her fuku. Her skirt was multi-layered, the bottom a deep brown and the top pure white. Her long green bows were streaked with white. She wore green boots that went halfway up to her knees and had small heels. She also had a pair of snowy white wings on her back. The henshin stick reappeared in her hands and the double dagger sign in the gem appeared on her forehead as her henshin stick broke into two daggers made of jade stone. “Eternal Sailor Earth!” She stated, posing with her legs spread and looking up at the two daggers crossed over her head.

Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen had also transformed and the trio stood facing Ange.

Ange grinned. “So you told the truth huh? Well it still won’t save you.” Lifting his whip he cracked it and the darkness grew around him and soon Opposite Venus stood there. “Called to destroy the false love the Senshi spread, Opposite Venus!”

“Ange please I don’t want to fight you!” Sailor Earth cried starting forward, only to have Tuxedo Kamen grab her arm. “Don’t sis, we’ll fight him and weaken him and then try to heal him but we can’t do anything while he’s at full strength.”

“I can’t hurt him!” Opposite Earth was near tears.

“It’s him or us,” he replied softly. “You know you have to do, as a Senshi.”

Slowly Sailor Earth nodded.

“I’m tired of waiting!” Opposite Venus stated. He cracked his whip again and it glowered. “Dark Venus Whip Beam!” The black links on his whip flashed and black energy shot out from them towards Earth, Moon and Tuxedo Kamen.

Sailor Earth and Tuxedo Kamen leaped aside while Sailor Moon fell out of the way with a scream. The blast hit a wall and left a smoking hole in it while screams came from the other part of the library. “I’ll help everyone get out of the library, you two hold him off!” Tuxedo Kamen leapt through the hole in the wall and disappeared from sight.

“Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!” Sailor Moon yelled, using the attack she had used to heal phages the year before. However the blast seemed to have no affect on Opposite Venus who just laughed. “Rainbow Moon Heart Ache!” Quickly Sailor Moon went through all her attacks but none seem to have any effect of the smug Opposite Venus.

“Dark Venus Whip Beam!” Screaming Sailor Moon dodged the blasts of energy as best she could until suddenly the whip wrapped around her.

“Living Earth!” Sailor Earth was suddenly surrounded by a glowing green energy which wrapped around her like a cloak. Vines burst from the floor as her energy flared and wrapped tightly around Opposite Venus. The energy around Sailor Earth pulsed along the vines causing Opposite Venus to scream in pain.

As the spent vines faded a slightly smoking Opposite Venus spun to stare at Sailor Earth shocked. “Clarry you attacked me…”

“You need to understand Ange!” She exclaimed coming forward and taking his hands. “Please come back to us you shouldn’t be fighting me, come back to who you were before we were corrupted.”

“I want to be me again,” he whispered. “Please help me Clarry…”

Sailor Moon watched this quietly her eyes clouded. She wanted to help but didn’t know how. Suddenly she was standing in an ancient palace. It was much like the one on the moon but instead of silvers she could see lots of green colors and the crossed dagger symbol of earth was above the doors instead of the familier crescent moon. Hearing a footstep she turned and was faced with a man who looked Prince Endymion, but older.

“Princess Serenity,” He said with a kind smile.

“Your Majesty,” She replied, curtsying to the man who was The King of the Earth during the Silver Millennium as she realised she wore her princess gown. “How did I get back here?”

“Your need to help my son’s court brought you back here my dear, much as your need to help your own court has often sent you back in time to the moon to visit your mother.”

“Son’s court?” She asked confused.

“Yes, just like your court would be the Sailor Senshi, Endymions court is the Knights, Moon Knight, Mercury Knight, Mars Knight, Jupiter Knight and Venus Knight, as well as Saturn Knight, Neptune Knight, Uranus Knight and Pluto Knight altough I am not sure of their lives at this moment.”

“That makes sense…” Princess Serenity nodded slowly. “So Ange or Opposite Venus can be healed into Venus Knight?”

“Exactly,” the King of the Earth nodded, pleased.

“Can you help me heal him then?” Princess Serenity asked her beloved's father.

“Yes,” he replied. Her scepter appeared between then and with a flash it’s colors changed from red and white to green and white. “Now your attack will have the power of the Earth in it. Good luck my child, I know you will set things right again.” Coming over to her he brushed his lips over her forhead, and Sailor Moon blinked as she was again standing in the destroyed library, holding the Earth Powered Moon Scepter. “I can heal him Sailor Earth,” She stated. "As long as he is willing I can heal him."

“Sailor Moon?” Earth asked, as she and Opposite Venus looked at Moon confused.

“If you think you can cure me Sailor Moon, go ahead.” Opposite Venus decided. “I wish to regain my old memories instead of these ones of false hate.”

Sailor Earth nodded and stepped back. “I’m glad Ange, I’m glad you’re going to be on our side again.”

Sailor Moon lifted her scepter above her head and light flashed off it. “Terran Moon Healing Shine!” Silver moons mixed with green vines twined around Opposite Venus, bathing him in a holy light.

Sailor Earth blinked, struggling to clear the sunspots from her eyes. Her sight came back slowly, but when it did she gasped. Venus Knight was standing there wearing a black bodysuit that had orange armor over it. The symbol of Venus was traced over his breastplate in gold. His boots and gloves were also made of orange metal along with his armor. His armor included chest and back armor, as well as shoulder pads and a bunch of strips of metal from his belt to his knees where his boots started in a kind of protective skirt. The previously black symbol on his forehead was now orange and the chain whip in his hands had changed color, now orange with a single black link instead of the other way around.

“Venus Knight,” Earth whispered awed. Then with a laugh she threw herself into the equally happy Ange’s arms.

Sailor Moon turned to find Tuxedo Kamen beside her and hugged him smiling.

“I’m glad one of my court is back,” He said into her hair. “Thank you.”

“I’ll get them all back for you Mamo-chan! Just you wait.”

Sean appeared in their house causing the three other men to look up surprised. “Ange turned to Clarissa,” he said shortly.

Storm blinked but quickly hid his hurt expression, turning back to the computer game he was playing. Electricity flickered over his fingers as he continued playing. Those Senshi would pay for taking his best friend from him. Especially Sailor Moon.
