June of 1999
It was the end of the first term. The students at the college were allowed to stay in their dorm rooms, as long as they didn't cause trouble.
The Sailor Scouts and Willow decided to stay in Tokyo. One day, Willow, with her sensitive hearing, heard them planning a meeting for that night. To be able to attend the meeting, yet not be detected, she had to contact a friend.
Willow got her staff out of it's box.
'Eternity Teleport! Take me to Aradia!'
***
Serena had just come to the room and opened the door and stared as Willow disappeared.
***
Willow was transported to the Blind Maiden's home.
As Willow walked up to Aradia, the blind, nineteen year old witch called out.
"Hello, Willow. How are you today?"
Willow smiled her gentle smile. "How do you do that?"
Aradia ignored her question. "You have come for something. An invisibility spell?"
"Yes. Do you have one?"
"No, I don't, but go here. These people will give you what you need." Aradia gave her the address.
Willow thanked the young witch and teleported to the location Aradia had given to her.
***
Poppy, Thea, Akilna, and Blaise were working in the store Grandma Harman used to run.
Suddenly, right in front of them, a girl appeared. They knew that there was someting wierd about this person.
"Hello, I'm looking for a Thea, Blaise, and Akilna Harman and a *Poppy Rasmussen?"
"Yes, we are them," Blaise spoke. She had long black hair. "Who are you?" 'What are you?'
"My name is Willow Hannigan and I will tell you what I am only in private."
"Follow me," Thea said, and led them to a teaching room. "What is this all about?"
"Aradia sent me to you. Now watch. Eternity Power!"
A flash of deep red light went through the room. When Willow stood in front of the quartet again, she was Sailor Eternity.
Poppy gasped. "You're a Sailor Scout? But how come the others never told me about you?"
Akilna stood quietly, not talking.
"Because no one, but **six people knew of me before now. Now there are ten. I am part lamia and part human, but I need an invisibility spell, that can be taken off at any time, to get some information."
"That's easy," Blaise commented. She, Thea, Akilna, and Poppy start to go around the store, collecting the ingredients for the spell.
They performed the spell and Willow disappeared, yet they knew she was still there, because they could feel her.
"Now," Thea said, as James, Poppy's husband and soulmate, walked in, "go back to Tokyo."
"Who were you just talking to?" James asked, obviously confused.
***
That night, Willow arrived in the conference room before anyone (of course, no one could see her).
They all filed into the room. Surprisingly, the Outer Scouts were also there. When everyone arrived, Serena started the meeting.
"I received a call from a friend. His name is Rain. This name means nothing to you, but it does to me. He's 815-years-old. He needs help in Amerca. It will be a really dangerous trip and the people staying here need to protect Tokyo."
Willow had stiffened when Rain's name was mentioned. She had gasped when she heard how old he was. It had to be him! The most powerful druid in the world. He was also known as the Lord High Arch Druid.
"I have already decided who is going and who is staying." Serena continued on, looking at the Outer Scouts. "You four are staying here. Try to find out who this new Scout is. The rest of us have to be ready to leave in a split second." Serena got up and walked out of the room, knowing she might die.
***
'Since I now have a psychic link with Serena,' Willow thought that night, after creating the link, 'I will know when she's at the point of her greatest fear.' Willow put her bleeding wrist to her mouth and went to tell Aradia what was going on, knowing Serena would be okay for that night.
***
"Well, Aradia? What do you think of my plan?" Willow asked. When Willow had come in, Aradia had looked sad. Aradia still had a forlorn look on her face and spoke quietly.
"Grandma Harman's chosen one has disappeared."
"What! Akilna, the daughter of -" Willow yelled.
"No. Grandma Harman might have told you who Akilna's parents are, but she didn't tell me."
Willow quieted down. "Yes, ma'am." She was always quiet and complacent with people close to her.
***
When Willow got back to the college the next day, Serena and the rest of the Inner Scouts were in the sitting room talking about Rain.
When Willow walked into the room, there was silence.
'They're talking about the fight with Rain.' Willow thought to herself.
"Hey, guys," she says and walks into the kitchen. "What are you planning to do later?"
"Nothing. Why?" Raye asks as Willow throws herself into a chair, not spilling a drop of the drink in her hand.
"Well, I know of a club in town. Its not very well known. So? What do you think?"
The Inner Scouts look at each other.
"Sure. Can we bring Darien with us?" Serena asks.
Willow smiles, "Why not."
***
Later, at The Tomb . . . .
As Sunshine walks into the club, she sees black curtains, flashing lights, and dark cryptic music. 'I know this place, but from where?' Suddenly she remembers. The Chosen! Sunshine looked around, knowing she would find them.
"Serena! Quinn and Rashel are over there." Lita and Amy shrieked.
Willow followed the girls over to Quinn and Rashel (now a vampire).
***
'Rashel? Do you feel anything?' Quinn asked his soulmate mentally.
Suddenly, he and Rashel snap their heads to the door.
'How did they find this place?' Rashel asked Quinn in thought, talking about the Inner Scouts and Darien.
'That's how.' Quinn said, looking Willow right in the eyes.
'Quinn! Rashel!' Willow's voice cut through the mental brick walls they had constructed like butter.
'How did you do that?' Quinn lashed out harshly. Rashel looked bewildered at all this.
'I am as old as Thierry is. Don't tell them what I am. They don't know. We'll talk later.' Willow spoke hastily.
Quinn didn't like it, but he grinned devilishly at the others. "What's been going on? Haven't heard from you guys lately. Why not?"
"We've been busy. How -" Raye said, then, suddenly the Inner Scouts, and Darien vanished.
"Where the h*ll did they go?" Quinn yelled at Willow.
Willow spoke quietly and with authority. "They have gone to meet Rain. Go now and help your friends."
"We've been in this battle already. We were looking for them, for their help. I'm sorry for yelling." Quinn mumbled, hating himself for apologizing.
Willow smiled gently. She waved her left hand over her right and her Eternity Staff appeared. "Eternity Staff! Teleport them to the Scouts!" And Rashel, her long, dark hair and green eyes, and Quinn, his black hair and deep soul-filled eyes disappeared to the place where the teams would be meeting.
"Good luck, my friends," Willow whispered, then disappeared herself.
***
Two days after the Inner Scouts disappeared, a monster appeared. That one, the Outer Scouts could take care of. But, after a few monsters, they couldn't anymore.
Sailor Eternity started to put in a regular appearance.
One day, after a battle, the Outer Scouts surrounded her.
"Who are you?" Sailor Uranus, a. k. a. Amara Ten'ou, asked, knowing she vaguely recognized this girl.
"My name's Sailor Eternity," she said with a smile. "Eternity Teleport!" She teleported behind Sailor Uranus. "You will know who I am soon enough. Eternity Teleport!," and teleported to the dorm room.
***
Smoke pulled a small pendant from inside his suit. It was made of a burgundy colored metal with the symbol for eternity*** on it. For once his mind and his heart wandered. He watched the sunset and something fell from his face. Another joined it and as the sun set, he slipped the pendant back into his suit, stood, and walked away.
***
Far, far away, Willow Hannigan pulled out a pendant shaped exactly like Smoke's. "Eternity separated us and Sailor Eternity will bring us together again." Quietly, in her darkened dorm room, she wept.
***
The next day, while Willow was reading in bed, she felt Serena's worst fear.
"Eternity Power!" Eternity's suit formed around her. "Eternity Teleport! To Serena!"
***
The battle was getting worse. Lucius stood over Sailor Moon, ready to kill her. Jet and Smoke tried to get to her.
Suddenly, Lusius stopped. Standing beside Sailor Moon was Sailor Eternity, staff in hand. Smoke stared. He had thought she'd died when the other Scouts had in the Silver Millenium.
"Eternity Blast!" the girl called. "Everybody!" Everyone in the temple looked at her. "Remember who you were, who you are, what you are, and who you will be. Eternity Teleport!" 'It's their fight now.'
"Who the h*ll was that?" Logan called out.
"I don't know," Jet said, then grinned maliciously, "but now its my f*cking turn."
"Jet." The energy axe in his hands disappeared.
"Energy." Electricity crackled around his hands.
"Blade." Bolts of lightning crashed through the roof.
"Summon!" He screamed as the sword sliced through the sky and stabbed into the ground in front of him. It was a short katana-like blade, crackling with Jet's ultimate Dark Power.
"Ha," he laughed as he pulled out the sword and Lucius began to get up.

*Poppy and James got married after Serena found out she was the Slayer
**Smoke, Grandma Harman, Thierry, Queen Serenity, Aradia, and Rain
