"Sailor FireStar and Sailor SunShadow? We don’t know anything about them yet." Hotaru said.
"No, but we do." Michiru said.
"What did you find?" Hotaru asked. She sat down in another chair opposite from Queen Lorali.
"Well the most shocking news I have discovered is that they are both related to Serena and Darien." Setsuna said.
"What?" Hotaru gasped.
"Yes it is true." Queen Lorali said.
"How?" Hotaru asked.
"Lady Hotaru I thought you knew. I thought your memories would have come back by now." Queen Lorali said.
"What memories? And what are you guys talking about? Will someone please fill me in here!" Hotaru shouted.
"Lady Hotaru please. There’s no need to-" Queen Lorali said as she was cut off by Haruka.
"No Lorali. We must tell her." She said.
"Oh…ok. Lady Hotaru, please at least try to remember. Go back to the days where you were the protector of the Moon Kingdom." Queen Lorali said. Hotaru closed her eyes as Lorali began to tell her story. "When the Moon Kingdom was still standing, Queen Serenity had asked the four outer senshi to protect me. Why? Because I was her cousin." Hotaru opened her eyes.
"You and Queen Serenity are...related?"
"Yes. She was older then I and wanted nothing to harm me. Since you four girls were stronger than the other senshi, she wanted to take extra precaution for me. Well when Queen Beryl showed up and destroyed everything, I came to the Moon Kingdom to find it in ruins. That’s when I realized that she had died and had already sent Princess Serenity, Prince Darien, and the other senshi to Earth. I had taken my children with me. They saw how much I was in pain that I had lost my sister. They told me that they would do anything to help me. When we got back to the Golden Kingdom, our home, I gave them a brooch and powers to transform. I told them to go to Earth as sailor senshi and find their cousin. Which is-"
"Serena." Hotaru said as she opened her eyes. "But I don’t understand. Where does Darien fit into this?" "Prince Darien had a brother on Earth. His name was Prince Luke. He also went with Princess Adriane and Princess Lauryn, my daughters, to Earth so he could find Prince Darien."
"I just met Luke today. And I met Adriane and Lauryn yesterday. I thought they were related to Serena and Darien but I just couldn’t place it. But why don’t they remember any of this? How come the others didn’t remember when they got their memories back of the Moon Kingdom?"
"That part I don’t know."
"Should we tell them or let Adriane and Lauryn tell them?"
"I think it’s best that they find out on their own." Michiru said.
"Are you sure?" Hotaru asked.
"Very sure." Haruka said.
That night, Rini had decided to go over to the temple to help Raye and Mina on a project for the next day.
"Raye, do you really think that Adriane, Lauryn and Luke are the enemy?" Rini asked as she started to paint a the planet Saturn.
"Well to tell you the truth, I don’t think that they are." Raye said.
"They just can’t be. Luke was way too cute and Adriane and Lauryn are way too nice." Mina said.
"Why is it whenever I meet new friends they always turn out to be the enemy?" Rini pouted.
"Aw come on chill out. I’m sure that they have nothing to do with the enemy." Mina said.
"Maybe but I felt some high energy forces coming from them." Raye said.
"They’re not. I just know it. You’ve got them all wrong Raye. They’re good. Not evil. Good." Rini said.
"Well that may be true, but we’re not certain yet. Let’s just wait a while and see what happens."
"I guess you’re right." Rini said as she looked at her watch. "Hey guys, its 10:00. I have to get home before Serena throws a fit again."
"Ok Rini. Thanks for the help." Mina said.
"No problem. Good luck tomorrow you guys. I hope you win first place at the science fair." Rini said as she got up and headed for the door.
"Hey Rini?" Raye said. Rini turned around.
"You’re right. I know they’re not." She said as she gave her a smile. Rini smiled as well and went out the door. As she walked down the sidewalk, alone, she thought about Adriane and how she had become a great friend. Then her thoughts drifted to what she had seen at the arcade. Adriane’s brooch. She had said that her mother had given it to her before she died. Could that have been true? It must have been. But there was something about that brooch that was familiar. It seemed that Sailor FireStar had the same one. Is it possible that Adriane actually is Sailor FireStar? As she thought more and more about it, she had run into the very same person she had been thinking about, Adriane.
"Oh hey Adriane. What’s up?" Rini asked.
"Nothing. How have you been?" Adriane asked.
"I’ve been better. I’m just heading home before Serena has another one of her fits of me being out late again."
"Oh ok. It was nice talkin’ to ya. I gotta go now."
"Wait what are you doing tomorrow? Maybe we could go get some milkshakes or something."
"I don’t know. I have to go meet Lauryn and Luke. I can’t stay. I have to go. See ya." Adriane said as she turned and left Rini.
"Adriane! Wait!" Rini called after her. But Adriane was too far down the road to turn back. Rini shrugged and was about to turn and head home, when something caught her eye. She looked down to see the same brooch as before. ‘Adriane must have dropped this. She was in such a hurry I guess she didn’t notice.’ She thought. She picked it up. "I better get back to the temple and call a sailor senshi meeting right away. Then maybe Amy can analiyze this." Rini said as she headed toward the temple again.
"ZOID!" King Morpheus shouted. Zoid instantly appeared in front of him.
"Yes master? What can I do for you?" Zoid asked as he bowed.
"Have you found Queen Lorali yet?"
"No great King. We have not. I am afraid she is no where to be found."
"Well keep looking. She couldn’t have gotten too far."
"Yes."
"But in the mean time, I want you to go to the surface and find those Golden Millenium senshi. Lure them here. I want to meet them."
"As you wish."
"There is a droid waiting for you outside."
"Thank you great King." Zoid said as he disappeared.
"Lauryn, Luke, I came as fast as I could. Now what’s going on?" Adriane asked as she came up to them. They began to walk and they ended up at a local ice rink. Only they did not go inside.
"I had a premonition. Zoid and another one of his goons are coming here, tonight." Luke said.
"Oh no. We have to stop them before they destroy this ice rink." Adriane said.
"Right." Lauryn and Luke said in unison.
"Hey Adriane, where’s your brooch? Didn’t I tell you to bring it?" Lauryn asked. Adriane looked down to see that her brooch was missing!
"Oh no! It must have un-latched it self and fell when I bumped into Rini. Oh now I can’t transform! What am I gonna do? You guys need me." Adriane said.
"Don’t worry. We’ll be fine without our third power." Luke said reassuringly.
"Ok." Adriane said as she smiled. Luke lightly kissed her on the lips. They suddenly heard people screaming and Luke and Lauryn rushed in while Adriane stayed behind to watch the fight.
"Let’s do it Lauryn." Luke said.
"Right." She said. "SunShadow, Star, Power!" She shouted. She instantly started to glow a beautiful silver color, and her clothes were replaced by her sailor fuku. It was silver and her three layers were silver, green, and purple. Her hair was done up in its usual way. Half tied complete with a silver ribbon. Her thigh length boots were also silver, and her staff was a gorgeous orange sun with a green star in the middle, and slightly shadowed. Luke closed his eyes and his clothes were replaced with a prince armor thing. (Like what Prince Darien wears.) Zoid appeared before him with another droid.
"So Sailor SunShadow, Prince Luke, I see you are here to save the day once again. But where’s Sailor FireStar?" Zoid asked.
"You leave her alone. That’s none of your business." Prince Luke said through clenched teeth.
"But I believe it is." Zoid said as he started to look for her. Sailor SunShadow panicked. Zoid turned to his droid. "Take care of them while I find Sailor FireStar."
"You can’t Zoid. She’s not transformed. You don’t know her identity." Sailor SunShadow said.
"Oh but I do." Zoid said as he held up a picture of Adriane.
"NO!" Sailor SunShadow and Prince Luke shouted. Zoid turned back around and spotted Adriane hiding behind a white collum. He outstretched his arm, and plucked her up from the ground. She struggled to try and free herself.
"LUKE! LAURYN! HELP!" Adriane shouted at them.
"Hold on! We’re coming." Sailor SunShadow said as she lunged forward.
"Stop!" Someone on the ground shouted. All four looked to the side and saw four other senshi standing in the doorway.
"Who are you this time?" Zoid asked. They all stepped forward.
"Under the deep sea star, ruler of the oceans, Neptune. I am Sailor Neptune!" She said.
"Under the protection of the father star, ruler of the universe, Uranus. I am Sailor Uranus!" She said.
"Under the guidence of the underworld, ruler of the dead, Pluto. I am Sailor Pluto!" She said.
"And finally, under the silent star, sailor of destruction, Saturn. I am Sailor Saturn!" She said.
"And ruler of the Golden Millenium Kingdom of the planet that’s closest to the sun, a planet that lives in peace, Centeron, I am...Queen Lorali! Let my daughter go Zoid or you will have hell to pay." Queen Lorali said.
"MOTHER!" Sailor SunShadow and Adriane shouted.
"I have a better plan Lorali. King Morpheus wants you back, and your daughters as well." Zoid said.
"Not if I can help it!" Another voice said. Sailor Mini-Moon along with the rest of the scouts stepped into view.
"Whoever you are, let that poor girl go this instant you nega-trash! On behalf of love.." Sailor Moon said.
"And on behalf of justice!" Sailor Mini-Moon said.
"I am Sailor Moon!"
"And I am Sailor Mini-Moon."
"Together we fight for what’s right. And on behalf of the moon.. we will punish you!" They both said together.
"We’re also here! I’m Sailor Mars!"
"I’m Sailor Mercury!"
"I’m Sailor Jupiter!"
"And I’m Sailor Venus!"
"We will defeat you in the name of the moon." They all said together.
"Lovely speech. Any others I should know about?" Zoid asked sarcastically as he powered up.
"I won’t let you take away my friend. Sure even if I don’t know her that well, I still consider her as a friend. PINK SUGAR, HEART, ATTACK!" She shouted as Sailor Mini-Moon aimed her attack at Zoid. It hit him, and he dropped Adriane. Sailor Mini-Moon rushed by her side. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah I’m fine. Thanks." Adriane said.
"You might want this." She held out her brooch. Adriane paled.
"You knew?"
"Yeah, but hey, I figured we were gonna find out anyway. So, still want those milkshakes?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Sailor Mini-Moon winked. "Rini?"
"In the flesh. Come on Lauryn and Luke need ya."
"Ok. Thanks." Adriane took the brooch from her and shouted, "Fire, Star, Power!"
