"Hotaru-chan?! Where?! Why is Hotaru-chan in the city? Can I go see her?"
Haruka smiled, glancing at Michiru as her partner spoke, then back to Chibiusa. "I agree, we can meet up with Hotaru after she has gotten what she needs in the city." Haruka said, trying to steer away the small child subtly from danger. Looking back over at Usagi, then at Star Fighter and thought. "Star Fighter's hiding it pretty well... They probably need to talk at some stage." her gaze shifted back to Usagi. "Bunhead... why are you avoiding us? Why aren't you telling us what's going on?" Knowing Chibiusa shouldn't really be involved, Haruka was glad Michiru spoke up and offered for her to stay at their place for a bit, it seemed like Usagi has some unresolved issues to deal with.

 Rιɳ Kαƚʂυɱι ♪♫ I'll stay so deep inside your brain And take you somewhere far away ♫♪ Rin listened closely as Usagi spoke of her friends. She had a smile on her face, but inside Rin was annoyed. "They are ‘very protective’, huh," she thought to herself, "it seems getting anything from this bunhead might be a bit tough. No matter. I always enjoy a good challenge ~" She smiled happily at the waitress and Usagi as she ordered both of them drinks. "...Rin-chan? Since you moved here... where did you move from? Did you have friends there ?" Just the question alone, made her wince as she looked away from Usagi "Where I'm from is not important," Rin whispered solemnly, "I was never truly welcomed there and don't plan on ever going back…” The memories of her past flooded her mind, almost breaking the mask of happiness Rin was wearing. Quickly Rin tossed the memories aside, putting her happy facade back in place.
Not long after, the waitress came back with the drinks with Usagi passing one to her. "Try this! It's really yummy! Ah! Gomen! I didn't even ask if you liked sweet drinks! whoops!" Rin stared at the drink for a moment confused before taking a small sip. "Wow," she exclaimed, "you’re right! This is so yummy!" She continued to drink the Soda Pops until Usagi handed her a piece of paper. "Before I forget! Rin-chan, here's my number! If you ever get lonely and want to hang out or even just to talk, please think of me, and call me." Ew. Affection. Rin Couldn’t help but internally cringe at her sentiment but hid it behind a loving smile. "Thank you," she cooed sweetly, ”that means so much to me!" It felt so strange having someone care about her after just meeting her, but at least she knew she could use it to her advantage. They casually looked through the Three lights magazine, Rin taking note of the important information noted on each page. She was learning quite a bit, and hoped nothing would ruin this for her.
"OI ODANGO!" who the hell was yelling so loudly?! Rin's happy demeanor quickly changed to annoyance as she searched for the source, only to find another individual walking their way. Great... Rin flashed a quick smile, trying to not seem suspicious. Well... more suspicious than she already was that is. "It seems this bunhead knows more people than I thought," she thought to herself, "and gorgeous ones at that! This girl is more interesting than I thought~" "Gomen, I'm very sorry I have to leave so suddenly. You can have my lunch. Please do call me, and you can tell me if you liked the one I picked to eat. We'll catch up again, I promise!" Rin waved politely as Usagi left with the pink-haired child, waiting until she was out of view for her evil smile to form on her lips. "I look forward to it…"
Rin ate the food that Usagi had ordered, enjoying every bite. It was as delicious as Usagi said it would be, not that she would admit it to her any time soon. "Now," she thought as she left the cafe and wandered through the city, "time to start looking for the crystal and talismans. I can't let Kurayami down But first…" Rin snuck her way into an abandoned alleyway, working her magic in the shadows "let's cause a bit of chaos…” Slowly her monstrous shadow creation began to grow, reaching three times the size of an average human, a mischievous giggle escaping her lips as she watched it make its way towards the people within the city.
♪♫ I'm alive but I'm dead Hear my voice up in your head Watch it fill you full of dread Till you go pow ♫♪

"Rei? What's going on?" Startled from being drawn out of her thoughts in response to Mamoru's firm wording. She apologized immediately, "I'm sorry. I... I am not accustomed to having anyone question what vision I just had." She had to think of whom she was speaking with then. Like herself, Mamoru has a multitude psychic abilities that went beyond what she has. Knowing if she lied, he would know it. Chewing upon her lower lip briefly as she glanced up to see Mamoru's concerned expression. Grandfather Hino in the meantime could see that whatever was being discussed appeared to be personal. As he moved over to the joining room that had a television. Flipping on the power via remote the tv immediately blared out loudly for all present to hear. "The central city has been struck with disaster, a few citizens have been badly hurt, buildings are currently being torn down and cars blowing up. There is something moving around the city but it's too fast for the human eye to catch, Police and paramedics are on the scene as we speak, we urge you NOT to enter the city, roads closures and evacuations are taking place."The loudness of the news reporter providing the report caused Grandfather Hino's hand to jerk whereas the remote fumbled within his grasp as he moved to turn down the volume. Scenes of buildings burning and laying in ruin could be seen behind the long strips of yellow caution tape, and wooden barricades preventing the reporters from moving in closer to see just what all was taking place. Looking away from Mamoru, Rei's attention was drawn drastically towards the loud announcement blaring from the other room. Watching the scenery being shown to the public alerting everyone to the dangers within the city. Just as she started to say something her communication watch lit up brightly as familiar voices could be heard over the comms, "Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus... she's left the house, and on her way to school.""Thanks, we'll take it from here."She thought to herself, walking back into the kitchen to be able to think a little clearer. Upon re-entering the kitchen, Rei noticed that Hotaru left a note on the counter in the kitchen. Picking up the note she began to read the message, when another voice chimed in on the communicator watch. "I just wanted to let you know I'm going to see if I can collect any samples or clues to help Luna see if she can find out anything more about this new enemy we are facing." 'Hotaru.' She paused in thought, slipping her hand inside her pocket of her ceremonial robes, lightly gripping onto her transformation wand. "And to answer your question, I believe what I saw is exactly in relation to what we just watched, Mamoru." Casting a glance back towards the tv then over at Mamoru, "Hotaru left a note saying she was leaving to go and collect samples from the battle. I know she is more than capable in handling herself. However, with recent events it never hurts for backup in case things go south." A determined expression was apparent. Her mind was set, Rei was going to head towards the ruins to provide assistance to Hotaru, or at the very least be her guard, watching her back at a dangerous site.

"I'm sorry. I... I am not accustomed to having anyone question what vision I just had.""I find that hard to believe." Mamoru was not amused with Rei's answer. Waiting patiently for a more valid explanation as to whatever it was she said she saw. It was obvious that she had seen some kind of a vision. He felt as though she was stalling, or perhaps she was genuinely trying to find a way to express what she was shown. Moving away from where he had been seated, he crossed the room to stand in front of Rei then. Noticing the subtle hints dropped from time to time that she wanted to say something but was reluctant. Why? He hoped that she realized that he wasn't the type of person to play mind games with. "The central city has been struck with disaster, a few citizens have been badly hurt, buildings are currently being torn down and cars blowing up. There is something moving around the city but it's too fast for the human eye to catch, Police and paramedics are on the scene as we speak, we urge you NOT to enter the city, roads closures and evacuations are taking place."Not taking his eyes off of Rei, even when the tv blared loudly from nearby. Observing how she looked away to watch what was on display only look back. Sensing she wanted to talk, he was going to suggest they speak elsewhere if she was concerned on having her elder listen in on whatever it was she wanted to discuss. That was when an interruption intervened. Between the news broadcast and the alert from other Sailor Scouts, it was apparent a lot was going on. Hearing that Usagi was on her way to school, made him feel better that she was going to distract herself with studies. Who was he kidding? The more he thought about it, the more he realized that Usagi would undoubtedly be late to class and have an excuse as to why she's late. Or would she even show up? Recalling how Usagi looked during the battle and afterwards, he would like to think she would have taken the day off to recover. Knowing how stubborn she is, he knew that Usagi would more than likely go out rather than mope around the house. He felt better knowing that Sailor Senshi were watching over her for the time. But at what cost? Did everyone get adequate sleep from the night's events? "And to answer your question, I believe what I saw is exactly in relation to what we just watched, Mamoru. Hotaru left a note saying she was leaving to go and collect samples from the battle. I know she is more than capable in handling herself. However, with recent events it never hurts for backup in case things go south.""Fine. You are not going alone though." He could sense that Rei was about to protest, his expression said it all. With his thoughts lingering on Usagi, he too needed a distraction. Usagi was in good hands presently. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune had this. Mamoru has absolute faith and trusted them knowing that they would do everything in their power that was necessary to protect their Princess. Taking a moment to look at Rei differently, mainly at her Miko attire, "Up for a walk? You might want to consider putting on something else, it will make you look less conspicuous Rei." Before she would have a chance to respond, he provided his reason as to why he brought this up. "I think it would be better if I drove us to the ruins and then continue on foot away from the media, police and emergency personnel on scene. There's no telling who else we might bump into while investigating the scene of the crime, Rei. We need to be on guard at all times and ready to fight a moment's notice." He had a feeling that Rei would question just how they would get there since he didn't arrive in a vehicle. Mamoru removed his set of his motorcycle keys from his pocket to show her, "My apartment is walking distance from the shrine and I have my motorcycle, that we can take for means of transportation. I'll wait out in the courtyard for when you are ready to depart." ((**Speeding things up in the RP for transportation, which was approved.)) Mamoru didn't have to wait long as he saw Rei dressed in something more appropriate to wear, as the two of them departed the shrine to head towards his apartment's garage. Upon entering the garage, Mamoru unlocked the side saddle bag and removed a spare helmet for Rei to wear for the drive. Straddling his motorcycle, he slid on his own helmet and riders gloves. Waiting for Rei to situate herself on the motorcycle behind him, he felt her arms wrap around his chest, as he inserted his key into the ignition. The motorcycle came to life as he revved the engine, kicked the stand up and safely drove off the lot heading down the side streets of town towards the general direction of the ruins.

"... I-I didn't expect such respect... please, stand up, you don't need to speak to me so formally...I don't want you to see me as a Princess, I just would like to be your friends. If anything... I should be the one formally speaking to you both! I mean... you are Idols and Senshi, that's more admirable than being a Princess in my eyes." Star Healer smiled towards the young princess before her. She was the spitting image of Usagi. They were so alike in many ways presently. She could also sense that Chibiusa was more than likely different when compared to Usagi, that she was certain of. Speaking in a normal tone but not too loudly, "I would like that." Feeling herself glow in response to being friends with Chibiusa. She knew that the others felt the same. Noticing the subtle change in her demeanor, Healer looked to Chibiusa with concern. "You're... Sailor Senshi now... why?" She had already made a vow to protect her and she was not about to lie to her again. "We are not exactly in a safe position. ." Noticing Star Maker's expression, ". . not as much as the store front would like others to believe." Not wanting to reveal too much, let alone frighten her. Keeping eye contact with Chibiusa she saw out of the peripheral vision Star Fighter speaking with Usagi. Usagi's color had become paler than normal and it was apparent that Usagi was trying to be strong for Chibiusa. "We are here in Senshi form to protect the Princess." Looking over towards Usagi, at the same time of looking over citizens screaming in the distance became very apparent. "THAT'S the other reason." Alarm set in as Healer took a protective stance before Chibiusa. She meant what she said earlier. She also had a duty to protect Usagi, but it was obvious that Star Fighter had that situation handled. Watching Haruka and Michiru also standing beside Usagi trying to convince her to rest as well as shielding her as they spoke even though they were not in Senshi form. "I'm sure Hotaru would like to see Chibiusa-chan after coming back from the city.""Hotaru-chan?! Where?! Why is Hotaru-chan in the city? Can I go see her?" "Chibiusa, you can't go there right now..." "Hotaru is downtown because she needed some more supplies for some jewelry she was making. She will only be gone for another hour maybe. If you like I can text her and we can all have lunch together somewhere. While we have lunch we can discuss you staying the night with us for a few nights if you would like to. I'm sure you and Hotaru have a lot of catching up to do." "I agree, we can meet up with Hotaru after she has gotten what she needs in the city.""Chibiusa, stay behind me." Star Healer stated in a serious and calm tone. The screams could be heard echoing down the alleyway to where they were all located. "Star Fighter, Star Maker, Haruka and Michiru, I think it would be wise to get Usagi and Chibiusa to a safe location!" Sounding as if she was taking up command. That was not the case. She only knew that screams like that meant business and to those not in Senshi form wouldn't be safe.

Luna smiled at Hotaru, watching her put the stone in the glass jar. As she did so, there was a loud thud that made the ground shake underneath them. Seconds after, the buildings that were occupied suddenly started to swarm with people coming out as they screamed and started to run to safety, back towards the residential side of town. "What was that?!" Luna said out loud. Having this bad feeling, she heard the civilians screaming "YOUMA!!!" and other words they were yelling out in fear and panic. "Hotaru-chan! Henshin Yo!" Luna exclaimed. This time, Luna was there to witness the events that were about to happen. Not long after, Luna heard a familiar voice cry out her name which made Luna's attention draw towards the young figure approaching them.

Smiling, hearing Star Healer wanting to be friends made Chibiusa smile, for a short moment. Quote: "We are here in Senshi form to protect the Princess." Looking over towards Usagi, at the same time of looking over citizens screaming in the distance became very apparent. "THAT'S the other reason." About to question as to why Usagi needed to be protected, Chibiusa started to hear screaming in the distance, then the noise got louder very quickly. Watching Star Healer stand up, Chibiusa faced in the direction of where she could hear the screaming come from. "Hotaru-chan!" knowing she was in the city, Chibiusa became worried. Quote: "Chibiusa, stay behind me." Star Healer stated in a serious and calm tone. The screams could be heard echoing down the alleyway to where they were all located. "Star Fighter, Star Maker, Haruka and Michiru, I think it would be wise to get Usagi and Chibiusa to a safe location!" Sounding as if she was taking up command. That was not the case. She only knew that screams like that meant business and to those not in Senshi form wouldn't be safe. Looking up at Star Healer, Chibiusa turned to her and spoke. "Star Healer, please let me help! Hotaru might be in danger and need us! I HAVE to make sure Hotaru is alright! I'm a Sailor Senshi too!" the urgency in her voice was apparent, she was not willing to take no for an answer. "Let's go, Usagi! Minna!" Chibiusa said as she began to run off. Only being a few meters away and still in sight of the group, she unclipped her brooch and chanted her magical words. "MOON CRISIS.... MAKE UP!"
  Not looking back, she assumed Usagi would follow her. Managing to go through the back roads, Chibi Moon started to jump onto the ruins as she got closer to the city. Her Senshi form allowed her to jump more easily. Not aware Mamoru and Rei were close by, Chibi Moon spotted Sailor Saturn and took a big jump just to get close to her. "SAILOR SATURN!!! LUNA!!!" she cried out. Running towards them both. Chibi Moon couldn't help but break out a smile of relief that they were okay, but that smile changed as she spotted the youma in the distance slowly approaching them. "Youma?! Why is there a youma here?!" she exclaimed. Knowing the others wouldn't be far behind, the shock on Chibi Moon's face was mortified, knowing there was such a thing again on this planet. "The city is already damaged... this isn't the first one?!" asking her friend what happened.

The wind pushed them back as the dark figure hovered above them, Princess Jupiter stood at the very front of her Kingdom, and beside her was her trusted Guardian, Sailor Nova. In the distance, the youma charged toward them. Placing both her arms stopping anything from getting past her, she yelled at the silhouette of the man who seemed to be controlling the youma. Princess Jupiter had already taken a few hits and the youma was getting ready to make another attack, the silhouette seemed to be giving the youma some sort of energy that came from the scepter he held. Sailor Nova aimed the bow and arrow at the youma, gripping tightly, her eyes narrowed in focus, knowing that was her target. "No matter what, we'll keep fighting! You can keep destroying all the Kingdoms in the universe but our children will live on and defeat you! You will NEVER WIN THIS BATTLE!" She yelled firmly at the man, then heard his deep poisonous laugh echo. Princess Jupiter knew this was the end, the final blow. Tears formed in her eyes and she turned around to look at Sailor Nova one last time. "Gomen, I wasn't able to protect you or the Kingdom." she moved her arm and extended the palm of her hand as if she was going to use her power against Sailor Nova, Princess Jupiter's power was able to force the bow and arrow to disappear from Sailor Nova's hands, making sure she wasn't going to use unnecessary power. "No...NO! What are you doing?! Let me fight with you!" Sailor Nova cried out, she had this gut feeling Princess Jupiter was about to do something reckless. "Gomen, Sailor Nova... Sagittarius... you were the best guardian and friend I've ever had, I couldn't have done this without you. It's too dangerous for you to be here, I can't lose you.""PRINCESS JUPITER! STOP!!!!" Sailor Nova screamed out, tears flowing down her cheeks as she saw a sphere erupt from the palm of the princess's hand that faced Nova. "I'm sending you somewhere safer, you'll make new friends and they'll be able to help you, and guide you in your new life. Please open your heart up to them. Sayonara... my dear friend. I will always love you."The sphere that formed in Princess Jupiter's palm instantly grew bigger and blasted toward Sailor Nova, it was clear Princess Jupiter used all her remaining magic and strength to make sure her guardian was safely teleported away. "PRINCESS JUPITER!!!" Sailor Nova screamed repetitively, punching the round enclosed bubble, the sphere moved away from Princess Jupiter. Catching the sad, painful smile her princess had towards her guardian, before watching the man and the giant youma destroy their Kingdom right before her eyes. A few seconds of silence of nothingness was heard before hearing the crumbling sound of their planet being blown up right in front of her as Nova traveled away from her home planet. (Example of how the sphere is, and she travels to Earth)Everything went white, and in an instant, it felt like the pressure from falling came across her whole body. Snapping her eyes open, a large gasp came from her mouth and the sound of something metal hitting the floor was heard seconds after she woke up. Laying on top of a bed, the girl felt shocked, almost like she had some sort of heart attack that disabled her to move. She stayed there for a while before even trying to get up, just staring at the ceiling, replaying everything that just happened in her mind over and over. Tears constantly fell from her eyes like a waterfall, there was no off switch. A few hours passed by, and the unknown girl slowly sat up. Her heart was still pumping with adrenaline throughout her body. Her cheeks were wet from the tears, but they had finally stopped. Scanning the room, she looked around the strange apartment that was filled with someone else's personal belongings. Her eyes caught something that glimmered from the natural light that came in. Her transformation wand, which was the metal sound she heard before. Looking at it, it was what pushed her to finally get off the bed. Walking over, she took the wand and then caught sight of her casual self as she looked in the mirror. Wiping her eyes, she walked over to it and placed her hand on it, hoping it was some sort of magic mirror that she could go through and everything could change back. (Casual outfit currently wearing)Sadly, it wasn't. She held her transformation wand close to her chest and cried, hugging it. "Princess Jupiter..." she managed to say quietly, sobbing away for another hour or so inside the residence of Makoto Kino's apartment. Walking down the stairs, she looked around and wondered where this would take her. Seeing the house was full of plants and flowers, it was very earth-like. It reminded her of her own Princess, and what she loved. Seeing the television remote, the girl pressed a few buttons until something triggered the television to turn on. Gasping, it startled her but caught her attention as the news reporter was talking, giving shots of the ruins in the city. "The city has suffered tremendous damage, but the city is trying to do major repairs as we speak. We urge citizens not to go near it. Next on the news, we will talk about Earth and what you can do to help save our planet.""Ruins...? Planet...Earth?" she mumbled, but her facial expression was surprised. "Princess Jupiter sent me to Planet Earth? But why?" There was some music that played, which caught her attention again. Shifting her sad gaze towards the television that played some music, which seemed to make somewhat her feel calmer for some reason. "Six more days until The Three Lights concert! Tickets are limited! We are very lucky to have them reunite again, the city needs some LIGHT in our time of darkness due to recent events." "Concert...? Three....Lights?" she questioned, watching footage of their last concert a few years back. Her eyes were glued to the screen, and even a very subtle light blush appeared on her cheeks until everything went back to reality, and the news began to play however the tone in the announcer's voice seemed much more urgent than before. "BREAKING NEWS: Witnessing this live, right now citizens are spotting running from the city in panic. We have gotten calls in the last ad break there has been another unknown creature growing. We urge EVERYONE to evacuate the city IMMEDIATELY. Stay home, keep safe and stay away from the city. There are evacuations being set in place as we speak!" The girl's eyes grew in fury, it sounded similar to what she had gone through with her Princess, gripping her wand tightly. Was this a sign? Was this why she was meant to come to Earth? Without hesitation, she turned around and ran out of the apartment. It didn't take her long to figure out where the city was from the mass amounts of people running and screaming. A few people screamed at her while she passed them, saying she was going the wrong way, but nothing seemed to faze her as she pushed through. "Why did she send me here? Did Princess Jupiter want me to help on this planet?" As she ran, thoughts went through her mind trying to understand the reason, she wanted answers but being alone in a city where she knew no one was not going to help. Swiftly avoiding people, she had to find somewhere private she could transform. Now approaching the city, the girl could see lots of opportunities to transform into old abandoned buildings.  Now transformed, Sailor Nova was able to jump from building rooftop to building rooftop. It seemed no one was around but she was able to finally see the youma. The youma was different from the one that destroyed her home planet, but it gave off that same sickly aura that made Sailor Nova's stomach turn. Having anger build up inside her, her gloved hands started to have a static green discharge. Jumping to the closest building nearest the youma she stood on the very edge of the building so she was able to see everything below. Sailor Nova positioned her hands and arms in an archery pose, summoning her bow and arrow, which appeared in her hands. Pulling the arrow back, she was about to aim the arrow at the shadowy youma until something caught her eye. A small pink-haired girl down below had called out a name to another girl nearby, and a few others seemed to follow after her. Nova's eyes widened, feeling herself weaken from about to attack, she held off and observed the small crowd from below, but still kept her attack stance just in case. "...Who are they?" she thought, watching them carefully and observing each of their movements. It seemed that they were on the same side as her, wanting to defeat the shadowy creature from destruction. Not being seen by anyone yet, Sailor Nova wanted to keep out of sight, for now, being long distance it was best she kept still, having the advantage of being able to attack and see everything play out before her, not taking her eyes off them.

Chibiusa's voice suddenly pieced Usagi's ears as she begged Star Healer to leave with her. About to speak, Chibiusa called out her name and told Usagi to follow, then began her transformation. "Chibiusa!" Usagi called out, breaking from Star Fighter's grip. "CHIBI MOON!! WAIT!!" starting to run after her, the same sudden pain began to ache in her chest again, disabling her from running after Chibi Moon. Gasping in pain, she held her chest and gritted her teeth, feeling about to fall down, but the tug of something holding onto her made her stand up straight. Star Maker ran to her side and slipped her arm around her, and was about to speak until Usagi's voice quietly spoke up and got louder. "Don't worry about me, please go after Chibi Moon! She's the one I'm worried about!"

Star Fighter was still concerned, but picked up things here and there from Chibiusa and Star Healers conversation, as did Haruka. The screams of the civilians were enough for Fighter to hold onto Usagi's waist rather than having her hand on her back. Her eyes shifted to Chibiusa as Healer stood up, and the two continued to talk, knowing Healer was going to keep an eye on Chibiusa, Star Fighter focused on Usagi. "Star Maker, can you assist Haruka and Michiru... if you plan on going to the city?" she asked quietly. Chibiusa now seemed more in a panic to leave, and hastily told Usagi and everyone to follow her. Star Fighter had never seen Chibiusa transform, but watched her and noticed her attire was very different to the other Senshi, unaware Usagi used to have the same as Chibi Moon at one point before Eternal. Watching Chibi Moon run off, Star Fighter felt Usagi pull away from her and shout her future child’s name several times before suddenly coming to an abrupt stop. Haruka instantly knew something was wrong and ran to the other side of Usagi. "You need to rest, Princess! We'll go after Chibi Moon and meet up with Hotaru." while Haruka was trying to speak to Usagi, Star Fighter got a chance to speak to Healer quickly. "Star Healer, could you go after Chibi Moon? I'll take Usagi home." Flashing a faint smile at her comrade, Fighter watched Haruka move away from Usagi and take out her henshin pen. Catching up to Usagi, Star Fighter smiled at Star Maker briefly, the exchanged expressions said enough as Star Fighter's gloved hand placed back on Usagi's back, somewhat monitoring how she was. "Uranus Crystal Power... Make Up!" Once Michiru transformed, Sailor Uranus stared at Usagi and Star Fighter for a moment, watching them be close made her narrow her eyes in suspicion, almost as if she were glaring in a disapproving way. Sailor Uranus wanted to be the one to stay with Usagi, however, she knew Chibi Moon and Hotaru needed their help and that was Usagi's wish. "We're going now, contact us if anything happens..." sounding once again bitter about the situation. Star Fighter gave a nod, then looked back at Usagi and answered like she knew what was going to be said. "I will." Sailor Uranus arrived a few minutes after Chibi Moon did, noticing the youma getting closer. Glancing at Sailor Saturn, she spoke up "Sorry to keep you waiting, you're not hurt, are you?" hoping she hadn't gotten caught in anything dangerous. Unaware Rei and Mamoru were nearby, Sailor Uranus felt different, like another presence was nearby, but that wasn't her main focus. The youma took more priority, and that was something Sailor Uranus intended to help defeat. Watching the youma get even closer, within range, Sailor Uranus didn't hesitate to be the first to attack as she moved away from the group first. Raising her hand up, she spoke. "WORLD..... SHAKING!!" Meanwhile, Star Fighter spoke gently to Usagi. "We'll go home, don't worry, Chibi Moon will be fine, I promise." trying to reassure Usagi everything would be fine.

Quote: "Star Maker, can you assist Haruka and Michiru... if you plan on going to the city?" "Of course, Leader." answering back. Star Maker ran to Usagi's side after watching Chibi Moon transform and depart, holding her up. "Please rest..." she said, then watched Haruka express the same concern. Seeing the others leave, Star Maker let go of Usagi and was about to do the same. "I'll follow them, stay in touch. Let's go, Star Healer." Maker didn't want to waste anymore time and jumped into mid air, then landed on top of the cafe rooftop, then continued to jump from one to the next, until she saw Chibi Moon and caught up with her.

Usagi felt Star Maker's gloved hand gently hold her up temporarily. "I'm fine, please... don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Telling Haruka and Star Maker again. Trying to push the pain out of her mind, there was a conversation between them. Watching Sailor Uranus transform, and knowing Michiru would follow made Usagi want to do more for them. Waiting for them all to leave, Usagi turned to face Star Fighter. Her pleading eyes welled up with tears as she spoke. "Star Fighter, I don't want to go home. Please, take me to the city. I beg you. Please! Please do this one thing for me, even if I can't do anything, I want to be there for everyone, I'll take the blame, I will tell them I told you to take me. I'll hide from the youma, whatever you want me to do, but please just take me there! I can't stand feeling like this...but... my heart is telling me to go. I have to be there, for everyone." Usagi didn't mean to put Star Fighter in a position like this, she knew Fighter would have difficulty saying no to her also, especially when Fighter had no backup and the two were finally alone.

"Star Fighter, I don't want to go home. Please, take me to the city. I beg you. Please! Please do this one thing for me, even if I can't do anything, I want to be there for everyone. I'll hide, whatever you want me to do, but please just take me there! I can't stand feeling like this...but... my heart is telling me to go. I have to be there." Gripping her free gloved hand into a fist, she knew how badly Usagi wanted to go, but also knew it was dangerous for her even more than Chibi Moon.
"Usagi!"
"Look at you, I don't want anything happening to you! I know you want to go but there's too much risk involved!" sighing, Fighter tried to contain her anger and frustration. Moving closer to Usagi, she scooped her up and cradled her, it was quite easy since Usagi was already frail enough not to resist. Seeing Usagi's determined expression reminded her of what Usagi was capable of, and knew she would do something reckless to get there anyways. Looking into the future Queen's eyes, Fighter was not happy about her decision, but continued to speak to her in a disappointing yet defeated tone. "But if we didn't go... you'd find some stupid way to get there, because you're determined, and you don't ever give up." pausing for a moment, Fighter's expression softened, and a faint smile appeared as she continued to talk, her voice became quiet that only Usagi would hear. "...And that's exactly why I fell in love with you." Fighter gave in and pursued Usagi's request, taking that chance and knowing the others would be mad. Star Fighter held her loving expression before jumping off the ground into mid-air, and headed towards the city holding Usagi closely, knowing her words might hopefully get through to the Princess, maybe.

Usagi knew she was right and could see that amount of pressure had annoyed her. Looking at the ground, Usagi was about to speak but was stopped when she felt the weight of her body being lifted up. A bit surprised, Usagi looked at Star Fighter as she continued to talk to her.

"...And that's exactly why I fell in love with you."  A bit taken aback by her words of being disappointed about the situation, Usagi darted her eyes away until Star Fighter spoke her last sentence to her, causing an instant reaction of shock that made her look back at Star Fighter. The two maintained eye contact for a moment, and Usagi couldn't help but have a very obvious red tint to her cheeks. " Star Fighter... I..." she said quietly, this almost felt like the right time to speak the truth to Star Fighter but knew she had other things to take care of first. Feeling her heart palpitating against her chest. "This feeling, this is the exact same feeling I had before with her. The rush of excitement and happiness. But why do I feel this way?" she thought to herself. Usagi couldn't help but smile, and the color in her body started to return to normal. Usagi had developed an infatuation with Star Fighter, and their time together made Usagi feel stronger. As they headed towards the youma, Usagi's bashful demeanor changed once they had approached the rest of the group.
