Day of the New Senshi
By: Tupie Harrison (EVictoria@aol.com)

Rei shot up in bed, breathing heavily, her hand on her chest. Her heart was beating rapidly. She closed her eyes, pushing the sweat off of her forehead. "What was that... What?" She thought to herself. "The darkness? But- the dark senshi... Is with us already... What does it mean?"

"So, Rei, why are we all here right now?" Usagi asked, looking at Rei's quiet and concerned face, beginning to look concerned herself.
"Yes, Rei, what's the problem?" The outer senshi asked.
She looked up, and spoke of her dream. "I had a dream- a premonition last night... That the darkness is coming..."
The other girls stared at her in shock. "But- Sailor Saturn is with us already!" Hotaru stared, looking confused.
"Yes, that disturbed me too... But what worried me the most, was I saw the darkness destroying you, Usagi, with incredible power... A power I've never seen before."
Usagi wailed. "How can this BE?!?! Sailor Saturn is here! Hotaru is sitting right next to me! And I don't wanna be destroyed!!!" She wailed again, and the other girls plugged their ears, except for Hotaru. She was still pondering to herself.
"What's wrong, Hotaru?" Haruka asked, when Usagi had been calmed down. She looked at Haruka, her face worried. "I'm not sure... But I seem to be remembering something..." She closed her eyes, and shook her head. "I don't know, it'll take some time... But I'll let you know right away if I figure something out."
The other girls nodded to her.

Tokyo was anything but peaceful these days. The Sailor Senshi were always busy, and overworked. It was no surprise when they found a new youma to fight...

"Moon Crisis Power Make up!" The two Usa-s said.
"Jupiter Crystal Power! Make up!"
"Mars, Crystal Power! Make up!"
"Mercury Crystal Power! Make up!"
"Venus Crystal Power! Make up!"
"Uranus Planet Power! Make up!"
"Neptune Planet Power! Make up!"
"Saturn Planet Power! Make up!"
"Pluto Planet Power! Make up!"

The girl stood in front of them. She looked harmless enough, but had attacked Chibi-Usa, leaving her weakened. Chibi-Usa stood behind her protective future-mother, Sailor Moon, breathing heavily, trying to regain her strength. She had thrown a bookbag at her; she had a good aim, although it didn't seem like a normal youma's attack, the girls were ready to fight anything that attacked them.

The girls attacked all at once, except for Sailor Saturn, who looked at the girl in the shadows carefully. Her dark hair and black eyes seemed familiar. The young girl jumped and dodged all of the attacks surprisingly easily, and smiled.
She raised a strange looking brooch to the sky, and shouted, "Universe Moon Crisis Power! Make Up!"
The girl transformed before the Senshi's eyes, and their gawking mouths. She too, was a Sailor Senshi- but was she a Senshi of good or evil?

"I am Sailor Uni-Moon! Champion of Justice! And the Champion of Saturn!" She posed, just like Sailor Moon. "I will Punish You for Love and on behalf of my planet!"
The Senshi stared, especially Sailor Moon. "Sailor- Uni... Moon? But I'm Sailor Moon! I defend Justice and Love!"
Sailor Uni-Moon didn't react, but stared at Sailor Saturn. "Dear Saturn," She said softly, moving towards her. "Come with me... Return to where you belong, please, my dear..."
A sudden flash passed through Saturn's eyes, and she stared at the Senshi in awe.
"WORLD!"
"Deeeeeeep!"
"Dead...."
Sailor Saturn spun around, screaming in shock. The outer Senshi were starting to attack the new Senshi. "NO! Stop!!"
"Shaking!"
"Submerge!"
"Scream..."
he attacks headed straight for the Senshi, but she didn't seem to react, nor be afraid. She held out her hand just before they hit, and they bounced off. The outer senshi stared in shock, and the New Senshi, Sailor Uni-Moon held out her left hand and blew all three away, after screaming "MARCH OF THE DEAD!" but not hurting Saturn. The other senshi shrieked at her.
"How dare you hurt them!"
"Puu!!!" Chibi-Moon ran to the collapsed outer scout, when another attack hit them both, sending them sliding across the ground. Chibi-Moon fell onto Sailor Pluto's shoulder, unconscious.
"CHIBI!!" Sailor Moon screamed, running to them. Sailor Saturn quickly set up her "Silence Wall" so no one could hurt them.
"Jupiter! Oak..."
"Venus! Love and Beauty..."
"Mercury! Aqua!"
"Mars- Fire..."
Saturn stared at the four, starting to attack the Senshi, just as the outer scouts had. "NO! Don't!! Please..."
"Evolution!"
"Shock!"
"Rhapsody!"
"Sniper!"
The attacks once again headed straight for the girl, and bounced right off. She sen the four flying, screaming "SCREAM OF DESTRUCTION," and they ended up lying right next to the three outer scouts. Sailor Saturn stared at the new Senshi in horror. "Why.. Why are you doing this?"
The Senshi approached her slowly, reaching for her hand. "Because we are supposed to be together, dear Saturn... Don't you remember?" She touched her hand, sending a flood of images into Saturn's mind.
The planet Saturn had been almost completely destroyed by an evil queen, leaving it as a land of destruction. The Queen had tried to explode the entire planet, but Sailor Uni-Moon had appeared and destroyed the queen before she could hurt the planet... She then dissapeared to a nearby moon. Sailor Saturn hadn't seen her since, and she had been reborn on Earth, just like the rest of the Senshi when their planets had been invaded.
Sailor Saturn came back to Earth, and found Sailor Moon shaking her by her shoulder. "Saturn? Hey, wake up." Saturn looked at her, then noticed that Uni-Moon was still staring at her. Uni-Moon raised her hand to attack Sailor Moon, but Saturn stood in front of her. "Please, Sailor Uni-Moon, don't... Sailor Moon- and the others... They are my friends! They won't get in your way... Please, leave them be."
Sailor Moon blinked. "Do you know them?" She whispered to Sailor Saturn. She nodded slightly. "Yes, from long ago at the kingdom of Saturn. She is another Sailor Moon- uh- er- Sailor Moon, she's just a Moon senshi from one of Saturn's Moons."
Sailor Moon nodded. "I understand...." She moved out of behind of Sailor Saturn slowly, and approached Sailor Uni-Moon. "Sailor Uni-Moon... We can work together... Really, we can. But please, don't hurt my friends anymore."
Sailor Uni-Moon looked at Sailor Saturn and Sailor Moon for a moment, examining their features. She then raised a glaive-like weapon to the sky, and started to say something.
"Sailor Uni-Moon! No, don't do it!" Saturn screamed.
"Please, Uni-Moon!" Sailor Moon yelled.
"Saturn Moon Healing!" A beam struck out from the glaive onto all of the senshi, and they began to glow in a golden color.
The other Senshi began to awake, and Sailor Uni-Moon detransformed. She handed Sailor Saturn a small communicator. "Sailor Saturn... Hotaru... Please, keep this..." She closed Hotaru's hand around it. "You may use it to call me if you're ever in trouble. The unconscious senshi won't remember anything that happened... They won't remember me. Only you and Sailor Moon will." She looked to the ground. "Please forgive me for what I have done. I thought that the other Senshi were keeping you from doing your destiny... I am truly sorry..." She moved back. "I will be here in less than a second if you ever need me... I will miss you, my sister... Hotaru-chan..." She smiled, and bowed to her, and vanished. Sailor Moon detransformed, and ran to her friends. Sailor Saturn also detransformed, and stared at where Sailor Uni-Moon had been last. "Sister.... My sister...." Tears approached her eyes. "I will miss you..."
