"You did great moon face." Michiru smiled softly. "Thanks! How...how did you, umm, get 
healed?" Usagi questioned. "A red butterfly floated along and landed on my chest. It...I 
don’t know how to explain it!" she giggled. "By the way, our main enemy is at the lake. But 
I think we should search for Haruka-san." Usagi added. "Mmm...who do you think sent that to 
me? You know, the butterfly?" Michiru asked. "I think...that new senshi. Sailor Distant Star 
I think...? She has healed me too! She isn’t as bad as her black fuku makes her look!" Usagi 
replied. 

Meanwhile at the ball park..."What ‘tis your name?" Sailor Distant Star shouted out of the 
blue. "Just call me Himeko!" the youma yelled. Sailor Distant Star nodded  and ran at 
Himeko. When she was no more than a foot in front of her, she jumped up and kicked her in 
the face. Quickly she moved out of the way as Super Sailor Uranus yelled "SPACE SWORD 
BLASTER!" As bad as their luck had been, it didn’t finish her off. Himeko quickly stood up. 
"So, it’s a fight to the finish, eh?" she croaked. 

"Well then! Say your prayers girlies!" A ball dropped out of the sky into the youmas right 
hand. She stretched her arm back and threw it quickly, yelling "Fast Ball!". She threw it at 
Super Sailor Uranus, who did a double front flip over it and landed perfectly. "Give me your 
best shot scumbag!!" Super Sailor Uranus yelled. It was as if the two senshi read the others 
mind. They would do hand to hand combat, and a surprise attack. Sailor Distant Star ran up 
behind Himeko and began to punch and kick her, and when she began to turn around, ready to 
throw a punch at the attacker, Sailor Distant Star tripped her. 

She ran her foot swiftly, but hard, under her opponents feet. When she fell Super Sailor 
Uranus had already traveled across the diamond and she had grabbed the youmas collar. She 
took Himeko and threw her into the fence. She had a feeling this would get rough and bloody, 
how she liked it. Before Himeko could slink down Sailor Distant Star was throwing punches, 
which were hardly blocked. Himeko kicked Sailor Distant Star hard in the stomach, making her 
fall back.  

But Super Sailor Uranus was already punching the youma, and grabbed it’s punches. Super 
Sailor Uranus pulled back her arm for a heavy blow, and punched Himeko hard in the stomach, 
which broke the fence and had Himeko falling with it. Super Sailor Uranus and Sailor Distant 
Star stood over Himeko. "Giving up? Don’t tell me that’s all ya got!" Super Sailor Uranus 
smirked and kicked a bit of dirt. Himeko lay there, not knowing what to do. Quickly she 
grabbed one of their legs and made them fall backwards. Himeko dashed a distance off, and 
threw 20 balls at them. 

Luckily for Sailor Distant Star she hopped backwards a few feet and then fell. They had both 
dived out of the way, but unfortunately Super Sailor Uranus got the hit worse. She had hit 
her head hard on the ground after the blast, and she had also torn her suit pretty bad. Her 
legs were burnt a bit, but not too much. Sailor Distant Star was lucky, her shoes had melted 
and her skirt was torn. That was about it. She threw off her shoes and quickly and ran to 
help Uranus up. By now she was furious. 

She stood up, and as fast as the wind, she tackled the laughing youma. "What now?!" the 
senshi of wind yelled and began to punch the youma furiously. Blood began to leak out of 
Himeko’s mouth. She shoved the soldier off of her in time to stand up. Sailor Distant Star 
quickly ran up, but a bat had appeared in her opponents hand. "Want to play rough? I’ll 
teach you for messing with me!" Himeko screamed. Sailor Distant Star dodged getting hit 
until Super Sailor Uranus was ready. 

"Move!" she shouted and then yelled "Space Sword BLASTER!!" Himeko squealed and was hit. But 
she was STILL there. "This is making me very angry!" Super  Sailor Uranus growled, and 
Sailor Distant Star nodded in agreement. Himeko suddenly mumbled something and began to 
glow. "Submarine Reflection!" a beautiful voice yelled. Neptune appeared, and Himeko’s 
attack was reflected to herself. She screamed and exploded. All that was left was a battered 
baseball. Sailor Distant Star turned to see two other senshi. 

She stood only for a moment and ran into the nearby woods. "Wait!" the three called. But she 
was gone. "What happened here? Super Sailor Neptune asked. "I’ll explain later, first, where 
is everyone else?" the senshi of wind questioned. Sailor Distant Star stood closer than they 
thought, and heard there was trouble at the lake. "Oi! I’d best get this over with!" she 
sighed and headed off before the other senshi. Back with Rei, she had just reached the park 
and there wasn’t a sign of anyone! "Strange..." she told herself. 

She wandered around and stumbled upon a lake. Across it were 5 figures. Rei moved in closer, 
and noticed the people were unusual. 3 were tied up, 1 was in a costume, and the other was 
gothic looking. "Totally unusual..." she said to herself. She squinted her eyes and noticed 
right away who they were. "Makoto, Amy, and Minako! With a youma and that evil witch!!" she 
gasped. "There’s no time to waste! Mars Crystal Power!" Rei yelled and was soon Super Sailor 
Mars. She snuck closer, to listen to their plan. 

Fortunately, Hotohori was explaining what to do. "It is too bad we don’t have them all, or 
this would for sure work!" Hotohori hissed. "Be sure to hover the three over the lake tied 
together, and make the others surrender!" Hotohori began to cackle. "What can I do?! I need 
a plan!" Rei squealed in her head. She called the others up and filled them in, and together 
they devised a plan, but it wasn’t sure proof. They figured Sailor Distant Star might pop up 
too. 

Sailor Distant Star saw Super Sailor Mars snooping in the trees and ran behind the two 
enemies. Super Sailor Venus’ eyes widened as she saw the girl running along, hiding when 
necessary. Super Sailor Mars slapped her hand on her forehead. Once Sailor Distant Star 
reached Super Sailor Mars, she was furious. "Are you out of your mind?!" she whispered 
angrily. "I had a plan! And I know they wouldn’t see me." Sailor Distant Star replied and 
stuck out her tongue. "And what if they would have?" Mars questioned, still angry. 

"I would have fought them, even if I were out numbered!" Sailor Distant Star said, trying to 
calm Mars down. Super Sailor Mars didn’t say anything more for a little while. "I hope you 
don’t mind, but we were needing you as bait..." Super Sailor Mars told her. "Well, normally 
I’m not so friendly, but I wanted to know how to help. So, what do I have to do?" Sailor 
Distant Star said a bit rudely. The black haired girl explained and Sailor Distant Star 
nodded, and then ran off to defeat the enemy. 

She snuck up behind the two enemies again and kicked the youma in the back. What she didn’t 
know was it was attached to the rope holding the hostage senshi. Lyra splashed into the 
lake, the helpless senshi with her. She then threw a rock at the back of Hotohori’s head. 
Sailor Distant Star gasped, but she couldn’t save them. "Oh no!" Super Sailor Mars eyes 
widened in fear. Sailor Distant Star ran off with Hotohori hot on her heels. She turned her 
head back for a moment, but suddenly tripped. Hotohori stood over her. 

"Stupid girl...didn’t you learn never to look back?" Hotohori cringed. "Didn’t you ever 
learn to never look into the face of death?!" Sailor Distant Star yelled and threw a handful 
of dirt into Hotohori’s eyes. Quickly Sailor Distant Star stood up. But she did not run. She 
felt scared, strong, and also as if it was best she did this.  She felt she now had a duty, 
not only to protect others, but for some odd reason, to protect herself. After rubbing the 
soil out of her eyes she stared at Sailor Distant Star. "Why didn’t you run?" she asked. 

"Because, I have a new duty. I must protect and help here. And to do that, I must defeat 
you." the blonde replied with a blank, but mad look, and a strange tone in her voice. For a 
moment Hotohori was scared, but she shook it off. "Alright then, show me what you’ve got!" 
she yelled. Meanwhile, while Hotohori had been rubbing dirt out of her eyes, Super Sailor 
Neptune and Uranus went and freed the 3 senshi, and helped them to the surface. "I’ll give 
that girl a piece of my mind! Try to drown our comrades!" Super Sailor Uranus growled. 

"I guess that’s the end of that youma..." Super Sailor Neptune said softly after wringing 
water out of her hair. "I’ll stay with them, the rest of you go find Hotohori!" Super Sailor 
Mars urged them. The plan somewhat changed from what Mars had planned. The 3 senshi ran the 
way Sailor Distant Star had lured Hotohori. When they arrived Hotohori was lying dead on the 
ground. "What happened?!" Super Sailor Uranus said and turned every which way to find Sailor 
Distant Star. 

"Do you really want to know?" a dark voice said from above. "It’s a trap!" Uranus said and 
un-sheathed her sword. "I’m not going to hurt you, I’m just cautious..." it said again. "I 
didn’t run from her...I threw dirt in her eyes. The rest happened fast...she was about to do 
an attack and I...I did something evil...something took over me! It’s still in me a 
bit...It’s all a blur! I know I attacked her but I’m not sure how. This is a first this has 
happened..." she paused. The three senshi huddled back to back, searching. 

"I guess I made her attack backfire. You shouldn’t see me...don’t look for me or it may 
happen again!" she finished. Super Sailor Uranus put her sword away and clenched her fists. 
"You almost killed people back there! You’re insane! Show your face you coward!" Super 
Sailor Uranus yelled, very angry. Sailor Distant Star walked out of the shadows, her eyes 
glowing red. Super Sailor Neptune gasped. "I told you... don’t anger me!" Super Sailor 
Distant Star shouted with clenched fists shaking at her sides. 

They all stepped back. "You are working for the enemy! You are trying to kill our partners!" 
Super Sailor Uranus yelled back, anger gleaming in her eyes. Sailor Distant Star swiftly 
disappeared and reappeared face to face with Uranus. Her red eyes made her seem evil. Sailor 
Distant Star punched Uranus hard in the stomach. "Don’t you EVER say that! I was forced to 
come here because of her! I told you not to mess with me!" Sailor Distant Star said and 
walked off, disappearing. 

"She is right Haruka, but are you ok?" Eternal Sailor Moon asked cautiously. Sailor Distant 
Star de-transformed when she was away from everyone, and once she was normal again. She 
sighed, she didn’t mean to hurt the senshi, but something inside made her do it. Once she 
reached home she stared blankly into space. But just then she noticed something out of the 
corner of her eye. She looked across the table and grabbed the note. It read that Frederick 
had moved out and a few other things. 

Ikkyoku sighed and looked at the clock. It was already 5:30 PM! Ikkyoku wasn’t hungry, and 
she had no homework so she decided to watch tv to pass the time. She thought of the battles, 
how quick they seemed...and the darkness that overcame her. She closed her eyes and was soon 
in space with her mother. "What...what happened?!" she cried to her mother. "I...I’m not 
able to tell you now, but you will learn in time. Why that happened and why you are a 
senshi." Sakura told her crushed daughter. 

Meanwhile, the three senshi were resting in civilian form at Rei’s. She had used charms and 
many other things to revive and heal them. "They’ll be ok by tomorrow." Rei told Usagi, who 
was worried more than anyone else. While Usagi was watching over the 3 girls, Rei, Haruka, 
and Michiru began to talk about the enemy. And Sailor Distant Star became up too. "Well, I 
personally don’t like her. I thought she was on our side! She tried to kill 3 of our 
comrades, and she punched me!" Haruka grunted. 

Michiru sighed, she didn’t know what to think of this new rebel-ish senshi. "I don’t think 
Setsuna could have seen her coming, nor Hotaru! It’s surprise you didn’t predict her coming 
Rei!" Michiru said with a confused and worried tone. "You are right Michiru..." Rei paused. 
They continued to talk until 9 PM and Rei called everyone’s parents. She lied, saying they 
would be cramming for upcoming tests, Rei pulled extra blankets and pillows out for them. 

Meanwhile, Ikkyoku decided to go to bed because of trauma and boredom. She had decided to be 
cautious and more careful about her future. She wanted out of this place she was stuck in, 
and back to normal at home.
