~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of the OPENING~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, at the secret base, Minako, Makoto, and Ami are with Artemis. Speaking to Mamoru and Luna through a communicator from Mamoru's apartment. Informing the girls about what just happened a few hours ago. To their shock at what they have just heard, the girls become worried and saddened. "Poor Lily," Minako spoke.

"Is Lily going to be, okay?" Makoto asked,

"She's going to be fine," Luna replied. "She has to stay in the hospital for a while."

"And we haven't heard back from Jade yet," Mamoru added. "She left nearly half an hour ago, but..." suddenly, he got a beep. "That might be her now," he opened the link. Suddenly, Jade and Bailey appeared on the screen.

"Hey guy," Jade spoke. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Skylar called about the enemy that was attacking the hospital."

"At the hospital?" the girls jumped, "Why didn't you asked us to help you?"

"You got your leader to protect," Bailey barked. "Why not the Sailor Scouts of the Gems protect Moonflower?"

"The Sailor Scouts of the Gems?" Luna echoed,

"Moonflower?" Artemis added. "What was that?"

"Oh, she meant me, Skylar, and Taylor as the Sailor Scouts of the Gems." Jade replied, "You see, I am Sailor Jadeite, Skylar is Sailor Turquoise and Taylor is Sailor Topaz."

"And Moonflower is what I called Lily, that's her nickname that got stuck with me like forever," Bailey added.

"That would make sense," Luna nearly tilts one of her ears to one side.

"Wait...did you say, Taylor?" Mamoru asked, "As in Whitez Taylor?"

"The same, but yes." Jade nodded.

"Do you know her?" Luna asked.

"Yes," Mamoru nodded. "She's one of the top runners of our Track Team at High School where Skylar and I go to. She may seem nice, but she speaks trash talk to the team members from either side. But mostly speaks towards Skylar, because those two are rivals when they both have different views of sports."

"That would explain some argument from afar," Jade raises a brow.

"Yeah, those two can be pretty loud from either school or out. But they are smart enough not to do it in the building though." Mamoru *animated sweatdrop*.

"Does she trash talk to you, Sir Mamoru?" Bailey asked.

"Luckily no, she never did. Since I too play some sports at High School, but she never trashes talk around me. She always stays silent and walks away; I still wonder why though."

"Probably consider yourself lucky Mamoru," Makoto chuckled happily.

"But...I got a feeling that Moonflower is around her," Bailey spoke. "I got a feeling that she would have a change of heart and attitude towards one another."

"That could happen since she is a Sailor Guardian now," Jade shrugged.

"Possibly," Mamoru shrugged.

"Well since we got recruits," Ami spoke. "What should we do now?"

"I agree," Minako nodded. "Since Chibi Usa misses her mom and dad, and I bet Lily felt the same way. But there is anything that we could do?"

"I think that we should leave the progress to you Chiba," Makoto spoke. "Since both of the siblings are comfortable around you and all."

"Understood," Mamoru nodded.

"We'll discuss more this tomorrow," Luna spoke. "We need to get some sleep."

"Alright," the girls nodded.

"We'll see you girls in the morning," Jade spoke.

"Night," Bailey barked as she yawned.

"Night," everyone replied as transmission turned off.

While Minako, Makoto, Ami, and Artemis are now alone. Finally, knowing that there are recruits and Lily is going to be okay. But something has started to bother them. "The Black Moon is not just targeting Lily alone," Ami spoke as she focuses something on the computer. "But what is it?"

"Hmm, what was that, Ami?" Minako asked as she looks at the computer screen. "Are you playing chess against the computer?"

"Hmm...yeah, I am," Ami replied.

"Really?" Makoto asked, "Is it as difficult as they say it is? It certainly looks confusing to me."

"Well, it's not." Ami answered, "Chess is a game of cause and effect, you make a move, and then your opponent makes a counter move. Once you've figured out their strategy then you'll be able to anticipate their next move."

"And our enemy?" Minako asked, "What are they going to do next?"

"I'm not sure," Ami answered. "I don't know who they are or what they are after. Except they are trying to go after Lily. But there is one thing about this new enemy that I am certain of...they aren't coming. They're already here."

The other two and Artemis could only stare at her in shock.

The next morning, Usagi was at the front door. Seeing Mamoru and Luna is with Chibi Usa. "Chibi Usa," Usagi spoke. "You stayed with Mamo last night...along with Luna and..." Suddenly, Usagi looks around in confusion. "Where's Lily?"

"Oh, there you are Chibi Usa," Ikkuko said with a smiled as she walked out. "Oh, thank goodness that you are home. I was worried about you." Then she looks around, "Where's your sister, Chibi Usa? She's usually with you by now."

"Big sister...she's..." Chibi Usa looks down, "She's..."

"Lily is at the hospital ma'am," Mamoru answered.

"At the hospital, what happened?" Ikuko asked in shock.

"There was a thug that was trying to harm Chibi Usa and Lily protected her," Mamoru replied. "The thug got away as he didn't take anything but leaving Lily nearly blood dry. A friend of mine from school called an ambulance in time before I could get there. Now Lily is at the hospital recovering from what she has lost last night. I'm sorry, I've failed to be Lily's guardian."

"I see," Ikkuko saddened. "Do you live alone?"

"I do."

"Well...when Lily gets out of the hospital, I will take care of her during her recovery. So she is more welcome to stay with us till she is strong enough to go back to school."

"I understand and thank you," Mamoru smiled as he bowed.

"You're welcome," Ikkuko smiled before seeing Chibi Usa still looking sad. "Tell you what Chibi Usa, after breakfast. We should go visit your sister in the hospital for a while. What do you think?"

"That would be great," Chibi Usa smiled happily.

"Then let's have some breakfast, do you want French toast or chocolate chip pancakes?" she asked as she and Chibi Usa walk into the house. Leaving Mamoru, Luna, and Usagi alone in the yard.

"Usako," Mamoru spoke. "We got to talk."

"Uh...sure," Usagi nodded.

For a few moments, Mamoru told Usagi about everything have happened last night. Usagi was left stunned after she listened to every word about what has told her. In fear and worry, Usagi nearly lost her words. "So...that is what has happened last night?" Usagi asked.

"Yes," Mamoru nodded.

"And we got recruits to the team," Usagi trying to understand how it is happening. "But...how come we have never heard of them before? Before...all of this?"

"I have no idea," Mamoru shook his head. "But...I know that I am changing the subject. But I have seen a strange key that Chibi Usa is wearing around her neck, including Lily is having one too."

"Really?" Usagi asked, "So Chibi Usa is not just wearing the stone that looks a lot like the Silver Crystal around her neck alone. Huh."

"Yup, but...Chibi Usa told us the reason that she came here was to ask Sailor Moon for help. She was thinking that you are the only one that could save their mom."

"I don't know," Usagi looks away. Then Mamoru took her hand into his.

"Just give them a bit more time, okay?"

"I guess," Usagi shrugged.

"Usagi, we're going to the hospital to visit Lily." Ikuko spoke, "Do you want to come?"

"Uh, yeah. I'm coming," Usagi replied. "I'll see you soon Mamo."

"Alright Usako, "Mamoru smiled. Then Usagi hurried to the car to go with Chibi Usa and Ikkuko.

At the hospital, Lily was eating peacefully with breakfast that was served to her. Suddenly, a knock has sounded on the door. "Come in," Lily spoke. Slowly, the door opens. Lily smiled as she saw someone come into the room.

"Big sister," Chibi Usa ran into the room.

"Chibi Usa, good morning." Lily smiled as Chibi Usa climbed onto the bed.

"Morning," Chibi Usa hugged her sister. Lily sniffed Chibi Usa's shirt.

"You got some maple syrup on your shirt," Lily spoke.

"Oops, sorry." Chibi Usa scratched her head in embarrassment.

"We'll clean your shirt up when we get home Chibi Usa," Ikkuko smiled.

"Miss Tsukino, Usagi." Lily smiled, "Good morning."

"Good morning Lily," Usagi spoke.

"How's your back dear?" Ikuko asked.

"It stings on and off really," Lily answered. "How did you know about it?"

"Mamoru told her," Chibi Usa answered.

"I see," Lily smiled.

"Are you related to Miss Chiba?" the doctor came into the room.

"Yes, I am." Ikkuko replied.

"Well miss," the doctor spoke. "I need to talk to you outside for a moment,"

"Of course," Ikkuko nodded as she and the doctor went into the hallway.

While Lily, Usagi, and Chibi Usa are alone in the room. There was silence at first, but Usagi decided to break the silence. "Lily...Chibi Usa," Usagi spoke. "I'm sorry for the way that I have acted yesterday, I was upset and wasn't thinking clearly. I truly am sorry."

"I accept your apology Usagi," Lily spoke. "And I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have talk things through instead of yelling angrily at you."

"It's okay, I kind of deserve that." Usagi nervously nodded, "So...we are good?"

"Yes, you we are." Lily nodded.

"I'm so glad," Usagi smiled. "By the way, I've been heard that we have recruited. Turquoise and Topaz, I can't wait to meet them."

"Probably soon as I get out of here," Lily spoke. "Let's say I'm not a staying put type right now."

"Umm...Topaz...recruits?" Chibi Usa becomes lost.

"Oh right. Almost forgot," Lily nervously chuckled. "Well, last night I've been attacked again. Sailor Jadeite and Sailor Turquoise come to protect me, but it wasn't enough. A new sailor guardian, Sailor Topaz joined us, and I still be able to activate my powers. Even without my transformation."

"Seriously?" Chibi Usa asked in shock.

Lily nodded.

"Whoa," Usagi exclaimed. How strong is her power? Usagi wondered.

"But still feel wiped out after using them," Lily continued. "I'm not sure that I used my abilities too much or still recovering from the injury."

"Either way, we're just glad that you are safe." Usagi smiled.

"And wonder when you can get out, it's no fun without you." Chibi Usa spoke as she pouts.

"And now she can," Ikkuko walks into the room.

"What do you mean mom?" Usagi asked.

"The doctor just informed me that Lily recovering well," Ikkuko began. "And she needs someone to take care of her while her strength is too recovering. So, we can take her home today."

"That's great," Usagi smiled.

"Yay," Chibi Usa cheered.

"I guess that you are going to help me with walking and balance for rehab at home," Lily nervously spoke.

"You guess that right," Ikkuko nodded. Then the wheelchair rolled into the room. "But first let's get you to dress before heading home."

"Okay, but I don't have clothes that I have as a spare," Lily replied.

"Don't worry, I brought Usagi's clothes. If that is alright," Ikkuko spoke.

"No, it's fine." Usagi shook her head. "I also got a feeling that she would be around my size."

"Are you sure that you don't mind Usagi?" Lily asked.

"Yes, I can share what I have with you." Usagi smiled.

"Thanks," Lily smiled.

"Anytime," Usagi smiled brightly.

"Come on, let's get you to dress." Ikuko helped Lily to sit up and helped her to walk towards the bathroom.

"Mom, allow me to help her." Usagi panicked. "Last time you saw a gash of a wound or blood. You practically fainted after you show the face of disguise. Except there were times when "Auntie Flow" comes around from time to time."

"Oh yes, I have almost forgotten about that." Ikuko nearly shuttered. "Alright, you can help her."

Usagi nodded, "Come on Lily, let's get into the bathroom."

Lily nodded as they slowly walk into the restroom.

For a few moments, Usagi helps Lily in the bathroom. Once finished, Usagi helped Lily out. Seeing her fully dressed and have her hair up to her usual style.

(Got the idea from one of my other characters from previous stories. Just letting you know about it.)

In a surprise, Ikkuko and Chibi Usa gasped in awe. Seeing Lily look like if she goes out with anyone special. Lily blushed, "Uh...too much?" Lily asked.

"No dear...you look beautiful," Ikkuko smiled.

"Yeah, like a princess sis." Chibi Usa agreed.

"Told you," Usagi smiled. Okay...not mentioning to anyone about... Usagi thought as she remembers Lily's hairstyle ribbon change.

Flashback... a few minutes ago within the bathroom...

After Usagi helped Lily to get dressed, "Oh," Usagi exclaimed. "Mom forgot to bring a hairbrush before getting here."

"No need," Lily smiled. "Just promised to keep this as a secret."

"What do you mean by...?" Before Usagi could finish asking her question, Lily pulled the bow that is attached to her ribbon. With one tug, the ribbon changed into her usual hairstyle. "W-what?"

"Just don't tell your mom about this, okay?"

"Uh, sure...but how...?"

"Trust me, I'm still learning about this myself." Lily tries to calm her down before leaving the bathroom.

Flashback Ended...

With no tangles or anything, Usagi slightly sighed. To let my mom think I have brought a hairbrush without her knowing it. It might be hard to explain alright.

"Well, I like this outfit but with this." Lily pointed the bandage peeking out. "That will be disturbing."

"You don't have to worry that much; we all might have to adjust about in time." Ikuko waved it off. "Now come on, it's time to check out." She brings out the wheelchair.

Lily nodded as Usagi helped her walk towards the chair. Together with Usagi and Ikkuko help Lily to sit in the wheelchair.

Once Lily is finally in the wheelchair, they started to check out. Lily saw a few figures at the door. Usagi turned to her mom, "We'll wait for you at the car," Usagi spoke.

"Okay," Ikkuko nodded. Then Usagi pushed the wheelchair as she, Lily, and Chibi Usa headed to the exit.

Outside of the hospital, Usagi, Chibi Usa, and Lily met Ami, Makoto, Minako, Jade, Skylar, and Taylor with Artemis, Luna, and Bailey. Bailey smiled happily as she padded to Lily. "Moonflower!" Bailey barked happily.

"Bailey," Lily smiled as she cradled Bailey in her arms.

"I'm so glad you're okay," Bailey rub Lily against her mussel.

"You know me, I won't break down that easily." Lily smiled.

Bailey laughed, "I know."

"How are you feeling Lily?" Ami asked.

"My back still hurts, but not as much since I first started."

"That's great to hear," Makoto smiled.

"But to let you know that I have to stay home to recover," Lily spoke. "But I am also afraid that I would be left behind for the studies at school."

"Don't worry," Ami smiled. "I have a friend of mine who would like to help you to catch up with your studies while you were out."

"That would be great," Lily smiled. "Thanks, Ami."

"Anytime," Ami smiled.

"Alright," Ikkuko smiled as she exits the hospital. "We're all set, so are we ready to go?"

"Yes," both Lily, Usagi, and Chibi Usa replied.

"Oh, hello girls." Ikuko smiled.

"Good morning Mrs. Tsukino," Ami, Makoto and Minako replied.

"Oh, and who are you three?" Ikuko asked.

"My name is Phoenix Jade," Jade introduced herself. "This is Blitz Skylar and Whitez Taylor, we're friends with Lily."

"Oh, I see Lily is making wonderful friends." Ikuko smiled brightly.

Bailey barked.

"Oh, there you are little one." Ikuko petted Bailey, "I was wondering where you run off to."

"Oh, sorry that I didn't contact you earlier Mrs. Tsukino." Jade apologized, "Since Lily was in the hospital, I volunteer to babysit Bailey till Lily gets out of the hospital."

"Oh, that's very sweet of you Phoenix-chan." Ikuko smiled then she looks around, "Where's your other friend Usagi? Is she too in the hospital?"

"Uh...no she's..." Usagi nervously replied.

"She's at home Mrs. Tsukino," Makoto replied. "She's not feeling well for today with a bad case of a cold, but she wished me to send her regards."

"Oh, the poor dear." Ikuko exclaimed, "I hope that she will get well."

So do I, Jade thought sadly.

"But since Lily is not able to return to school for a while," Ami spoke. "I informed her about the way to help her to with her studies is about letting Lily have a tutor. Who is very helpful with me during my studies, and she seems to be the best candidate to help with Lily before she returns to school."

"Oh, that's a wonderful idea." Ikuko smiled brightly, "Say, maybe we could meet her today so Lily and your friend could be acquainted before doing home studying for school before she could return."

"Good idea Mama Ikkuko," Chibi Usa smiled.

"Hmm, I don't see why not." Lily shrugged.

"I'll call her and give her your address so she could come over to visit before helping her out," Ami offered.

"Why didn't you introduce her to me, Ami?" Usagi asked.

"Because I have volunteered to be your tutor instead of Usagi," Ami answered. "And she doesn't understand the way about you as I do."

"Thanks, Ami," Usagi smiled nervously.

"Yes, thank you Ami," Ikkuko smiled. "We'll see her very soon but right now. It's time to these girls' home,"

The girls nodded.

"Now come on girls."

"Coming," Usagi, Chibi Usa, and Lily replied.

"We'll see you soon girls," Usagi spoke.

"Okay," the girls nodded as Ikkuko and the girls entered into the car then to the Tsukino's household.

Within the darkness, which is known as the base of Black Moon, Prince Diamond is plotting a new next attack. Until a dark figure entered into the room, Prince Diamond turned as he greetly smiled. "Hello little brother," Prince Diamond spoke. "It's a rare time to see you entering here."

"Forgive me brother, but I just need to speak with you." The young dark man spoke.

"Oh," Prince Diamond exclaimed. "Why is that?"

"Brother...I know that you are capturing the Sailor Scouts so you could find the Legendary Silver Crystal from the past, but I need you to capture something for me that I couldn't quite achieve."

"What is it? And who do you want the troops to capture?"

"I want them to capture Sailor Earth."

"Sailor Earth," Prince Diamond raised a brow. "Strange, there is nothing in the history books that says anything about this type of sailor scout."

"Because I have believed that this particular sailor guardian has traveled through time along with the rabbit that has escaped from grasp."

"I see," Prince Diamond crossed his arms. "Then why do you want me and the troops to capture her? Surely you can do it by yourself with your special summoning."

"Every time I summon a recruit, she keeps getting in the way. Not only that but there are also new sailor scouts who keep awakening every time she enters into battle."

"What?"

"Not only that, but she also has the power to turning them back while I was trying to retrieve energy for the Black Crystal. And kept returning them to their owners."

"I see."

"She's becoming a thorn on my side, and yet...she keeps on intervene while I was doing my work. And I couldn't capture her because that so call pests Sailor Guardians keeps on popping up."

"Interesting, it has seen that you might have fancied with Sailor Earth."

"What?" the boy's face that is hidden within the hood has turned red.

"Do you not fancied her?"

"No! Of course not, she just looked familiar. That's all."

"I see, very well. I'll ask Rubius and one of the Spector Sisters to capture her for you. But if they don't succeed, you and I shall share the same personal matter."

"Understood and thank you," the young boy bowed. "Now excuse me, I have to summon a recruit for the next attack."

"I understood," Prince Diamond nodded as he watches his younger brother leaving the room.

While the young man has left the room, Prince Diamond looks saddened as he walked to his throne. Suddenly, a familiar figure entered the room. "Sapphire," Prince Diamond spoke.

"Brother, I see that our little brother has just left the room." Sapphire spoke, "What does he want this time?"

"To capture a sailor scout, a new one." Prince Diamond answered.

"A new one? What do you mean?" Prince Diamond turned to his brother as he begin to explain what have just happened.

At the Tsukino's household, Lily was reading on the couch with Bailey laying on her lap. While Chibi Usa is watching TV to entertain herself while Ikkuko is working in the kitchen. Lily put the book down as she noticed something that is within her surroundings. "Miss Tsukino, where's Usagi?" Lily asked.

"Oh, Naru took her swimming today." Ikuko answered, "The poor dear looks so sad and out of thought, so she thought swimming would cheer Usagi up."

"Hmm...maybe after my back is fully healed," Lily spoke out of wonder. "Maybe I could go swimming too, to build my strength into my legs and my back."

"What a lovely idea Lily," Ikkuko smiled.

"I would like to go to," Chibi Usa smiled.

"After your sister recovers, we will." Ikuko nodded. Suddenly, the doorbell ring. "Oh, that might be that tutor that Ami has spoken of." She walked towards the door and opens the door.

"Hey, is this the Tsukino's household?" a young female voice asked.

"Why yes, are you that Ami has spoken of?"

"I am."

"Then please, come on in. I'm glad that you come," Ikkuko allows her in.

"Thank you, Miss Tsukino," the girl replied as she entered and put her shoes at the entrance as Ikkuko closed the door. Ikuko leads the young guest towards the living room.

"Lily, the tutor is here," Ikkuko spoke. Lily turned and see a teenaged girl who almost has dirty blond hair as she is wearing a headband that looks like that it is decorated with pearls. However, her skin is fair as her eyes are bright blue. She wears the school uniform with a light pink bow with a yellow clip and she is wearing a necklace that has a stone that seems to be a zoisite stone.

The girl is smiling nervously as she stands politely. "Hello everyone," the girl nervously waved.

She's shy, how cute. Lily smiled as she thought to herself.

"Hi there, I'm Tsukino Usagi." Chubi Usa replied, "But everyone called me Chibi Usa."

"And my name is Chiba Lily," Lily introduced herself. "And this is my bichon poodle pup, Bailey."

Bailey barked happily.

"I'm Cloudstorm May," May introduce herself. "I'm in class one with Miss Ami-sempai, and I will be your tutor for a while before you could return Miss Chiba-chan."

"Thanks, and it's great to finally meet you May." Lily smiled.

"Me too," May blushed as she noticed Lily said her first name.

"Oh dear," Ikkuko cried out as she is in the kitchen.

"What's wrong Mama Ikkuko?" Chibi Usa asked.

"I don't have enough ingredients that I need for dinner tonight," Ikkuko exclaimed her answered.

"What we're planning to have tonight Miss Tsukino?" Lily asked.

"Oh, one of Usagi's favorite meals," Ikkuko replied. "But we didn't have enough," Lily can see how sad she is until something has hit her. Slowly, Lily struggled to sit in her wheelchair. She wheeled towards the kitchen.

"Can I see something for a moment, Miss Tsukino?" Lily asked.

"Uh, sure." Ikuko nodded in surprise. Lily looks into the cabinets that are either above and below, in the fridge, and the freezer. In each one, Lily began to have an idea.

"I may have an idea to substitute the dinner plans for tonight so you won't struggle to hurry to the grocery store." Lily smiled.

"You do?" Ikuko's eyes widened.

Lily nodded, "But to do this, would you allow me to help you to cook this dinner. Just for today?"

"Uh...sure," Ikkuko nodded.

"I can help too," May volunteered.

"So can I," Chibi Usa added.

"Great," Ikkuko smiled. "So, what are the ingredients that we are using for dinner Lily?" Without an answer, Lily brought out some vegetables, white rice, and a bag of frozen shrimp.

"Is there by chance that anyone in the family or one of you is allergic to any of these ingredients?" Lily asked.

"No," Ikkuko, May and Chibi Usa shook their head.

"Not even Shingo, Usagi, or Kenji isn't allergic to these ingredients." Ikuko spoke, "Why would you ask?"

"To be on the safe side," Lily replied.

"Fair enough," Ikkuko shrugged.

"And that is great to know since these simple ingredients shall help us to prep them together." Lily smiled, "Just listen to these instructions that I will tell you while we work together for this dinner tonight. It will surprise them before anyone of them could get home tonight."

"I'm glad," Ikkuko smiled brightly.

"Seems simple enough," May nodded.

"Sure is," Chibi Usa nodded.

"So, let's get started," Lily smiled as the girls work together in the kitchen as Lily do everything in her power to help as well.

For a while, Lily, Chibi Usa, May, and Ikkuko worked together to cook up the special dinner for the night. Till dinner is ready, Usagi fully entered the house. "I'm home," Usagi called out.

"Welcome home Usagi," Ikkuko smiled. "And just in time too."

"Mmm," Usagi sniffed the air. "Something smells good," Usagi exclaimed as she entered the dining room. "What's for dinner?"

"Oh, this is what Lily has come up with while I was out of ideas for preparing one of your favorites tonight Usagi." Ikuko spoke, "And she seems to have a talent for cooking."

"Hehe, I wouldn't say talented." Lily blushed nervously.

"Lily did?" Usagi look at Lily who started to struggle to sit on a regular chair. "I never knew that you know can cook Lily."

"On a few, but just for some to have what we could use that is within this household." Lily replied, "Not just from restaurants or stores."

"Whoa," Usagi exclaimed.

"I'm home," a male's voice spoke as it entered the house.

"Same here," another voice that belongs to a young boy has too entered the house.

"Oh, hi dad." Usagi smiled, "Shingo."

"Hi Papa Kenji, Shingo." Chibi Usa smiled.

"Well, I see dinner is ready." Kenji smiled.

"I agree," Shingo nodded as he smelled the air hungrily.

"Well dinner is ready," Ikkuko smiled. "Let's all sit down and enjoy. Oh, Cloudstorm-chan. You should join us."

"Are you sure?" May asked, "I don't want to intrude."

"It's not a bother, you're more welcome to join us for dinner." Ikuko smiled warmly.

"Okay, I also would like to try this too. Not just that it smiles so good," May nervously smiled as she and the others sit down at the table.

"Well time to eat," Ikkuko scooped some rice onto the plate then scooped some entry onto the rice.

(This is Coreal Shrimp with Fluffy White Rice. It's good, messy to make but easy to create.)

"Whoa, it looks good," Usagi exclaimed as she took a bite. "It's good too!" she smiled.

"I agree," Shingo eats a mouth full.

"I'm glad that you like it," Lily smiled as she eats some.

"Mmm...I think that I need a copy of this recipe for my mom to try." I smiled, "She always loves some seafood recipes, and this would be one of her likings."

"I'll make sure to write one down for you May," Lily nodded.

"Thanks...Lily," May smiled.

"Well, I see that this new dinner has pricked someone up." Ikuko smiled.

"Sure did," Usagi nodded. "Lily, how did you learn how to cook like this?"

"Oh uh...I've learned it from a family friend when I was young. I was bad at first until I got better," Lily replied.

"Yeah, last time she cooked. The appearance was bad, but with one taste. It was really good," Chibi Usa replied.

"You don't have to remind me of that Chibi Usa," Lily blushed as she nervously chuckled.

"Really, what did you cook for the first time?" Kenji asked.

"Chicken Curry, and trust me. It wasn't easy as it looks," Lily chuckled nervously.

"Interesting," Ikkuko wondered. "How bad did you first start?"

"You have no idea how bad it was," Lily spoke.

Flashback... (In the 30th Century, in the Crystal Palace)

At the kitchen of Lily's home, Lily was trying to cook for the very first time. Then Lily have started to cry, "Are you okay Moonflower?" a familiar voice asked from the dining room.

"Yeah, just crying over onions. No big deal," Lily replied. Suddenly, Lily panics a bit. "I got to get the rest of the rice well done," Lily bounced around in the kitchen as she continued to cook and leaving a mess behind.

When she is done, Lily served a plate to her parents and Chibi Usa. Both of her parents and Chibi Usa give each other a nervous look. "This reminds me how you cook for the first time...----," Lily's father spoke. (Not revealing the names till we get further into the story. Sorry.)

"Don't remind me ----, it was a horrible performance." Lily's mother nearly cried out in embarrassment.

"I don't want to eat it," Chibi Usa cried.

"If you don't mind, I can go ahead to try it." Lily offered.

"Go ahead," her mother offered.

"Okay, here goes." Lily took a bite. In a few moments, while she finally swallows. Lily smiled, "It's good," then her parents and Chibi Usa took a bite. Suddenly, smiles have appeared on their faces.

"You're right," her father exclaimed with his eyes glim with pride.

"Just like the way that I have done within those many years ago," her mother smiled proudly. (Watch the video as the flashback from above.)

"Yup, she got your personality ----." Lily's father smiled brightly.

"Can big sister make this again mom, dad?" Chibi Usa asked.

"Of course," their mother nodded.

"But not until she gets the kitchen staff's approval first," her father replied. "Because of the mess that she has left behind."

"Sorry," Lily apologized in guilt.

Flashback Ended... (Back to the present/past...don't know which is which anymore.) 

Lily looks down in guilt, "That's why a family friend is teaching me how to cook better, and leaving less mess within the kitchen." Lily exclaimed.

"I can see the reason why," Ikkuko smiled as she softly laughed. "But I got a feeling that you could get to be a better chef for the future."

"To let you know that I was good at baking but cooking, it takes time to get those right."

"Well, you'll get better at cooking within your own time," May spoke.

Lily nodded.

"Oh, that reminds me," Usagi spoke.

"What is it, Usagi?" Ikkuko asked.

"Well mom, can Lily come with me and spend with our friends tomorrow?"

"Why do you ask that Usagi?" Ikuko asked, "Of course that she can go outside and spend time with you and the girls, but why are you asking such a question?"

"Well, you see." Usagi began, "Ami has been challenged by this woman named Miss Berthier to a chess match tomorrow. So, I thought that Lily can come with us so we could support Ami for the match."

"I would like to come and support her," Lily nodded. "Having fresh air might help to recover more and spend time with friends and support one another will help me to occupy."

"Indeed," May nodded. "If you don't mind, can I go too? I would like to cheer on for Ami-sempai too."

"Sure," Usagi nodded with a smile.

"Well, I don't mind it at all," Ikkuko smiled. "But make sure that Lily doesn't move around too much for anything serious so she couldn't reopen her wounds."

"Don't worry, our friends will remind us." Lily pointed out.

"That's understandable," Ikkuko nodded. "Alright, you can go. Just be very careful, okay?"

"Okay," Usagi and Lily nodded.

On the next day, Minako, Makoto, Usagi, Lily, Jade, Skylar, Taylor, and May are, in the stands to watch the chess match as Ami sat across from Berthier. That woman's energy felt familiar, Jade thought. It's almost felt similar to Koan's, Jade eyed at Lily. Lily looked at her nervously before return to the stage.

On the stage, Ami and Berthier are having a sight. "I am so happy that you came," the woman told her. "I've been waiting to meet you."

"You have? Why?" Ami asked.

"Call it a professional interest," the woman answered.

"Are you proficient at Dowsing as the announcer has said about you on TV lately?" Ami asked, "Could you even find a missing person that was very close to us?"

"Why don't you try it yourself?" Berthier asked as she held up a pendulum. "It uses the same skill as finding water does." In the audience, Lily looks at the black crystal at unease. Back with Ami and Berthier, "Sailor Mercury," Berthier lightly whispered as Ami's head snapped up as the woman stress at her with honor. "Let's make a bet," Berthier smiled. "The victor can have whatever she wants." Berthier sat up and held up her hand, "May the best woman win." Ami shook her head with a glare before the game started. "Sailor Mars...if you win the game, I'll give her back to you." The two of them made their move.

"And if you should win?" Ami asked, "What should you want from me?"

"Sailor Earth and the little rabbit," Berthier answered.

Ami looks up in surprise.

"Those two are around here somewhere, I can sense one of them nearby."

"Sailor Earth that I know of, but by rabbit...do you mean...who I think..." Ami trailed off before timing. So, the Black Moon isn't just after Lily, Ami thought. But also, after Chibi Usa as well. But why? Lily that I can understand, but who is Chibi Usa to them? Ami wondered.

"Dowsing pendulum is made from the Malefic Black Crystal," Berthier said; making Lily more nervous than ever. "It can tell me anything. Even the thoughts in your head." Lily took a deep breath to remain come as she turns back to the match. "Yes, your afraid Mercury. You are afraid to lose Mare. Even now when you have lost someone so long ago."

I need to focus, Ami tries to stay calm. I can't let her get to me.

"You're alone and deep down you know that's never going to change," the woman said. "It's invisible. No matter how much you love the people that you care about. They're going to leave you," with that statement. It has made May clinched her fist. "Poor little Sailor Mercury. Fate was not kind to you in the past and I am afraid that the future doesn't look good. Your worst fears are going to be realized over and over again." In the audience, both Lily and May look at each other, knowing about something that Berthier doesn't know about. Back in the match, "You're going to lose this game Sailor Mercury," Berthier continued taunting her. "You're going to lose everything! Your precious friends, your family, and even your life as a Sailor Guardian."

"AMI!" Usagi called out as she stood up.

"AMI-SEMPAI!" May called out as she too stood up.

Ami let out a gasp before turning towards the stands to see her group of friends; sitting in the crowd.

"YOU CAN DO IT, AMI!" Usagi called out.

"DON'T LET HER GET TO YOU!" May added. In a quick act, Taylor places her hand over May while Minako did the same to Usagi as the people around them shushed at the girls.

"Miss, you two need to be quiet." A security guard said as he walked up to the group.

"We're so sorry," Makoto apologized to him.

"It won't happen again," Lily added.

"If they continued to interrupt the match then I am going to ask you to leave." He informed them.

"I promise they'll be quiet from now," Minako told him. "What's the matter you too?"

Thank you, girls, Ami thought as she smiled before she whipped her eyes and turned back to the match.

The two of them made a few more moves. What happened? Berthier asked, I had her right where I want her.

"You're right, Miss Berthier." Ami spoke, "I am alone in this world and there will come a day that I will have to say goodbye to the people that I love. But I'm not going to feel sad because there have been many happy moments in my life and no one can take those away from me. So even though I'll lose those I love as long as I hold those precious memories close to my heart...I AM NEVER ALONE!" They all watch as they made move after move before it finally ended.

Berthier gasped in shock as her pendulum has gone still.

"Checkmate," Ami announced her victory.

At the crowd, everyone has started to applause while Usagi looks confused.

"Did she win?" Usagi asked,

"Ami did!" Lily nodded.

"Yeah!" Usagi stood up, "WAY A GO AMI!" Suddenly, May felt her stone become warm. In shock, May saw Ami chasing Berthier while the crowd began to surround her and her new friends as the crowd slowly turn black.

"Hey," Minako yelled. "Let us through!"

"Ami!" Usagi called out.

"Ami-sempai!" May called out. In a quick reaction, Taylor kneed one of the people before jumping into the air and landing onto the back of the stand seals. It was then that the people have turned into none human beings, making the group gasp.

"What are these things?" May asked in fear.

"A new enemy," Minako answered. "But we don't know much about them."

"We don't know anything of them at all," Makoto added.

I know very little about them, but I'm afraid to speak of it. Lily thought in fright. Suddenly, Taylor scooped Lily up from the wheelchair. Lily gasped as she has snapped back into reality. "Uh, Taylor?" Lily nearly asked as she watches Skylar folded the wheelchair so she would be able to carry it.

"Girls, we got to split up," Taylor spoke.

"Then catch up once we find Ami?" Makoto asked.

Taylor, Jade, and Skylar nodded.

"Sounds like a plan," Minako smiled.

"Okay," Makoto smiled with a thumbs up.

"But...be careful girls, and take care of Lily and May." Usagi wished them luck.

"Don't worry," Taylor nodded.

"We will," Jade nodded.

"Come on May," Skylar spoke.

"Oh...uh...sure," May nodded nervously.

Good luck girls, Lily wished the rest of the girls luck as she was been carried away.

Once Lily, May, Taylor, Skylar, and Jade are gone. Usagi, Minako and Makoto are now alone. "Now let's do this," Usagi spoke.

"Right," both of the girls agreed as they get ready to transform.

Within the hallway, the girls kept running while Taylor is carrying Lily and Skylar is carrying the wheelchair. May look over her shoulder with the corner of her eye, she saw the creatures are chasing them. "They're still coming," May cried out.

"We can't keep outrun them," Skylar spoke.

"We don't have time to hide," Taylor spoke. "So we got no other choice but to fight, and protect both Lily and May."

"You're right about that," Jade nodded as the girls stopped.

"May, do you know how to keep a secret?" Skylar asked as she put the wheelchair down.

"I guess so, but why would you ask me that?" May asked.

"Because this one is one of the biggest secrets among them all," Taylor answered as she settled Lily to her feet. "Support Lily for a moment," Taylor gently leaned Lily to May.

"Why?" May asked as she helped Lily to stand.

"You'll see," Lily smiled gently as she slightly winced in pain.

"Let's do this girls," Taylor spoke.

"Right," both Skylar and Jade nodded as they pull out their pens.

"JADEITE PRISM POWER!" Jade cried out.

"TURQUOISE PRISM POWER!" Skylar cried out.

"TOPAZ PRISM POWER!" Taylor cried out.

"MAKE-UP!" the trio shouted as their pens glowed.

{TRANFORMATION DESCRIPTION ~ JADE}

The young girl thrust her hand as she held her pen into the air as her nails turned light blue and red with a sudden bright light enveloped her surroundings. Her body is incased with a crystal sphere, suddenly it has turned into ice. All of the sudden, it has shattered as her body glowed into the fire. The ice dance around the fire as if it is ribbons itself. For instance, the ice and fire ribbons have surrounded her body and started to wrap around her torso and midsection.

Skylar smiled as she spun around and strike a pose in front of an image of turquoise stone with light blue roses in the background.

{TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION ~ TAYLOR}

The young girl thrust her hand as she held her pen into the air as her nails turned orange and light blue with a sudden bright light enveloped her surroundings. Her body is incased with a crystal sphere, suddenly it has turned into dust. All of the sudden, the dust turned to stardust and surrounded by firry feathers as her body glows. The stardust dances around with the firry feathers as if it is ribbons themselves.

Taylor smiled as she winked. She spun around and strike a pose in front of an image of topaz stone with orange roses in the background.

Once transformed, May has her eyes widened in shock. "You girls are Sailor Scouts?" May asked.

"Sailor Guardians of the Gems to be more precise," Lily smiled as she nodded.

"Seriously?" May remain in shock.

Lily nodded.

"I am a pretty guardian," Sailor Jadeite began. "Who fights for love and peace, I am Sailor Jadeite! In the name of the sacred gems, I will tear you apart with my fire and ice storm."

"I am a pretty guardian," Sailor Turquoise begun. "Who fights for love and compassion, I am Sailor Turquoise! In the name of the sacred gems, I will blast you away with my speeding arrows."

"I am a pretty guardian," Sailor Topaz begun. "Who fights for love and loyalty, I am Sailor Topaz! In the name of the sacred gems, I will burn you with the wings of furry."

"JADEITE SONIC FLAME-ICE STORM!" Sailor Jadeite cried out to start her attack.

"TURQUOISE COSMIC METEOR ARROWS!" Sailor Turquoise too cast her attack.

"TOPAZ FURRY WING BUSTER!" Sailor Topaz has too tossed her attack.

The creatures cried out in pain as they slowly disappeared.

"Did you get them?" May asked.

"Not quite sure," Sailor Jadeite spoke as she shook her head.

"Jadeite's right, it seems way too easy." Sailor Topaz nodded.

"How easy?" Lily asked. In a flash, an ax appeared out of nowhere. Lily panicked.

May screamed in fright.

"Lily?" Sailor Jadeite spoke as she turned.

"May?" Sailor Turquoise spoke as she and Sailor Topaz turned.

"You two are, okay?" Sailor Topaz asked.

"Yeah, we're okay," Lily replied.

"Where did that ax come from?" May asked as she panics.

A woman's laughter echoed in the air, suddenly, the ax flew out the wall and went into a woman's hand. The woman with the Black Mon mark on her forehead laughed like a madwoman.

(Please pretend that she has a mark on her forehead. Got to love the Librarians shows, always helps me to find inspiration.)

"Off with your heads. Off with your heads." The woman giggled none stop.

"Good grief, that woman looks like the Red Queen." Sailor Turquoise spoke.

"That's not the Red Queen," Lily spoke. "That's the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. The Red Queen is from the Looking Glass."

"Is there a difference?" Sailor Topaz asked.

The Queen of Hearts laughed. "Off with your heads!" she tossed her ax but missed some inches near Sailor Jadeite.

"Eeek!" Sailor Jadeite jumped.

"Okay, there's a difference there!" May replied.

Lily grunted in pain as Sailor Topaz scooped her up and Sailor Turquoise pick up the folded wheelchair.

"Let's run for it," Sailor Topaz ordered.

"Right," Sailor Turquoise and Sailor Jadeite nodded.

"Stay close May," Sailor Turquoise spoke.

"Okay," May nodded as the girls started to run.

The Queen f Hearts laughed hysterically. "Off with your heads!" she called out as she tossed an ax but missed.

While the girls are running, they have made it to the roof. But with one shock, they see Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Jupiter are fighting against Berthier. But seen Sailor Mercury is trapped in a bubble of water. May gasped, "Ami-sempai!" she cried out.

"Girls?" Sailor Moon turns in surprise.

"Look out!" both Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter cried out. In instinct, Sailor Turquoise dropped the wheelchair and grabbed May as she, Sailor Topaz, and Sailor Jadeite jumped. Dodging a surprise attack from nowhere.

"What was that?" Sailor Jadeite asked.

"Where did that come from?" May asked.

"Sorry about the wheelchair Lily," Sailor Turquoise apologized as she and the others see the wheelchair is broken down and burnt to crisp.

"It's okay Turquoise," Lily forgave Sailor Turquoise.

"But who attack us?" Sailor Topaz asked.

"That attack has come from me," a calm but stern voice has replied. The girls look up, seeing a woman in royal silk, red dress with the dark moon mark on her forehead.

(I love "Once Upon a Time" characters, thought Cora would be perfect for this scene. Forgive me for not putting the mark on her forehead, I didn't get the chance around it. So let's pretend that she is wearing one.)

With one look, Lily quickly recognized who she is. "Now that's the Red Queen," Lily pointed out.

"My, you are smart dear one." The Red Queen smiled, "Thank you for acknowledging me, unlike my sister. I don't leave much mess as she does with her ax." Suddenly, the door flung open as the Queen of Hearts walked into the scene.

"Oh, come on sister." The Queen of Hearts spoke, "You so a buzz kill, you don't enjoy the fun as much."

"A buzz won't kill unless it leaves fewer traces as a head does," the Red Queen attack the scouts again. The scouts dodge the attack, "Now which one of you girls have the Heart of the Earth," she smirked.

"If you're getting the heart, can I have the head?" The Queen of Hearts giggled.

"Do what you wish," the Red Queen shrugged.

Lily grunted in pain as she looks at the Queens furiously. "Topaz, let me down." Lily wiggled out of Sailor Topaz's arms.

"Lily, are you crazy?" Sailor Topaz asked. "You're in no condition to..."

"I know what I am doing," Lily stands in pain as her broach started to glow. "I may be wounded but I just cannot stand at the sidelines to feel useless. So, I will help you," Lily felt her back begun to regain her strength to stand as her broach glows even brighter.

"What's this?" the Red Queen raised a brow.

"Huh?" the Queen of Hearts looks at Lily confusingly. But Lily began to feel more strength than she has since she gains strength from before.

"EARTH PRISM POWER, MAKE-UP!" Lily cried out as she raised her broach.

{TRANFORMATION DESCRIPTION ~ LILY}

The young girl thrust her hand into the air as her nails turned green and brown with a sudden bright light enveloped her surroundings. Her body shown with a bright green and brown as she started to spin around. From her brooch, it shines green and brown, suddenly, bright green and brown ribbons have surrounded her body and started to wrap around her torso and midsection. Suddenly, a white leotard with a brown bow in the center and the brooch are clip onto it. As the green collar with three brown stripes appeared. Lily crosses her arms; then green and brown ribbons wrap around her arm-length white gloves trimmed with brown and green. Suddenly, the ribbons wrapped around her legs, then appeared green calf-length boots with brown trim that has a light green dot on top of it. Suddenly, a pair of dangling stars with the Earth symbol earrings appeared on each of her ears. Within a flash from the ribbon, a green skirt appears that is around Lily's waist with a brown bow on the back. Onto Lily's forehead, a small gem began to glow to a bright green as a silver tiara formed. Within a few flashes, a green choker with a brown stripe with a small gem appeared. The ribbon that is hidden within Lily's hairstyle has shined brightly as feather shape white hairpins attached to Lily's hair. Lily smiled as she spun around and strike a pose in front of an image of Earth.

"I am a pretty guardian," Sailor Earth began. "Who fights for love and Sanctuary, I am Sailor Earth! In the name of the future Earth, I will fossilize you!"

"So, you're Sailor Earth huh?" the Red Queen spoke, "We were ordered to find you."

"So that means...no off with her head?" the Queen of Hearts pointed at Sailor Earth with her ax.

"You're not chopping off with anyone's heads off today," Sailor Earth spoke. "EARTH MOONFLOWER PETAL TWISTER!" Sailor Earth launches her attack. Pushing the two queens off their feet and away from the girls.

"Why you little...?" the Red Queen regain her feet. "You want to play rough huh? Fine, let's play rough." Her hand began to glow black and red.

"Sailor Earth, do you have enough strength to turn them back into an object?" Sailor Jadeite asked.

"Don't know," Sailor Earth shook her head in reply. "But it's worth to find out," she pulled out her Earth Stick.

"I don't think so," the Red Queen's hand glows have darkened. Then she launched herself towards Sailor Earth.

"NO!" May cried out as she runs and pushes Sailor Earth out of the way. Sailor Topaz caught Sailor Earth in time before hitting the ground. In shock, the girls see the Red Queen's hand has struck into May's breast.

"MAY!" Sailor Earth cried out.

The Red Queen chuckled, "Foolish girl, saving Sailor Earth is not part of your role. The feeling for her that is known as ridiculous friendship is nothing more but a mere weakness. And there is no place for it in your life,"

"No that is not true," Sailor Turquoise shook her head.

"Silence," the Red Queen ordered as her forehead glowed. Forcing Sailor Jadeite, Sailor Topaz, and Sailor Turquoise to lay on the ground. But only Sailor Earth is sitting on the ground in pain and untouched. The Red Queen chuckled, "You're lucky that my powers do not work with those who have been wounded from previous battles."

Sailor Earth gasped as her back begun to ache again, then slowly went back to her knees.

"Sailor Earth," Sailor Jadeite, Sailor Turquoise, and Sailor Topaz cried out in worry.

"I'm okay girls," Sailor Earth grunted.

"You see what I have meant," the Red Queen chuckled. "But don't worry, I was ordered not to harm you."

"Then why did you try to do it before?" Sailor Earth asked.

"I've lost my temper," the Red Queen spoke. "Now since this girl is playing a role of a hero, I can get rid of her before the others."

"Sister, since you are holding her." The Queen of Hearts spoke, "Can I at least chop her head off before the others?"

"You can do that after I take her heart out," the Red Queen spoke. "It will go very well on my platter."

"Well do," the Queen of Hearts nodded.

"No please don't," Sailor Earth cried out. "Don't take her heart or her head, take mine instead."

"No," Sailor Jadeite grunted.

"Don't Sailor Earth," Sailor Turquoise added as she and Sailor Topaz grunted.

"Oh, brave Sailor Earth," the Red Queen spoke. "Why on Earth would we do that? Why would you offer your noble sacrifice like that?"

"Because she and the others are my friends," Sailor Earth spoke. "I will put their safety and happiness first before my own,"

"Sailor Earth," Sailor Topaz, Sailor Turquoise, and Sailor Jadeite felt touched.

Lily... May thought as she began to feel her body again.

The Red Queen chuckled, "Your friends," she spoke. "How foolish of you? Friendship is nothing by a worthless trinket, it is nothing but weakness and..."

"You're wrong," May spoke as she began to snap out of her trance.

"What?" the Red Queen spoke.

"She talks!" the Queen of Hearts jumped. The Red Queen tries to yank her hand out along with May's heart, but it is stuck in place.

"You are wrong," May continued. "Friendship and love are not a trinket; it is a feeling that will give you strength. Lily and Ami-sempai have shown me the way for that. It is the meaning to have a purpose and a life that is full of laugher and everything meaningful."

"No," the Red Queen muttered. How is this possible? She thought.

"It gives me hope," May continued. "That the bond of friendship will always pull through from dark times to light and helps you not to feel alone! And with that hope, I will help my new friends to make sure of that!" Suddenly, a surge of energy has surrounded May. Pushing the Red Queen away as she let go of May's heart.

"Sister!" the Queen of Hearts companied her sister. In a blink of an eye, a stone appeared on May's forehead.

"Incredible," Sailor Jadeite spoke as she got her feelings back.

"So, all this time...May is..." Sailor Turquoise spoke as she begins to sit up.

"One of us, a sailor scout." Sailor Topaz added as the rest of the Sailor Scouts of the Gems remain stunned.

Within the flash, May was standing on the water as she felt less pain within her chest. That was too close, May thought as she regains her breath.

"My successor," a man's voice spoke. "You did it. You have finally awakened."

"Who's there?" May looks around. Suddenly, a man appeared out of nowhere.

"Don't be alarmed, I'm not here to hurt or to frighten you." The man spoke apologetically as his eyes remain gentle. "If I have frightened you, please forgive me for being rude."

"Uh..." May was almost lost in words as she started to see something familiar about the man that is in front of her. "Who...who are you?"

"My name is Zoisite," the man introduce himself. "I once was a knight from a secret kingdom that protects a prince of this planet."

"A prince...of Earth?" May felt her head dizzy.

"That's right," Zoisite nodded.

"What? What are you talking about? I don't understand, why did you bring me here?"

"I know that you have a lot of questions, but all of them will be answered to you in time. But the reason is why that I have brought you here because you are chosen to be my successor."

"Your successor? Me?"

"Yes, you." Zoisite nodded, "The Sailor Guardians of the Gems aren't the only ones that are protecting the successor of my prince. You too have that destiny, and a co-worker of a Team Stagiest such as my beloved Sailor Mercury."

"What me? A Sailor Guardian of the Gems and another Team Stagiest?" May started to feel her gem become very warm. "No, you're wrong...what can I do? I'm not any of those things that you have spoken of, I'm just a regular girl who is trying to male friends."

"And that is what you have given strength."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You're smart, pretty, open-minded, and have a strong heart. That's are what made you special along with your hidden talent, to become a Sailor Guardian." Suddenly, May's gem has started to glow.

May gasped as her necklace has started to fly off her neck. Suddenly, in a flash, the gem and the chain have to turn into an object. The object is in fact a pen, in the color of yellow with light pink markings, her zoisite gem on top of the pen with a pink rose on the side.

"Whoa," May exclaimed as the pen landed into her hands.

"Now it is time to be awakened, my successor."

"How?"

"Repeat these words after me, "Zoisite Prism Power, Make Up". The you will join forces with the Sailor Guardians of the Gems and the Sailor Guardians of the White Moon." Slowly, Zoisite began to disappear.

"Uh, wait..."

"Good luck, my successor." Zoisite disappeared without a trace. Leaving May confused and alone.

"What am I...?"suddenly, the pen has become warm. Giving her the convenience that she needs totransform as she remembers Lily as Sailor Earth with her new friends. "Alright,"May nodded as her surroundings have started to turn white. "ZOISITE PRISMPOWER, MAKE-UP!"

{TRANFORMATION DESCRIPTION ~ MAY}

The young girl thrust her hand as she held her pen into the air as her nails turned pink and yellow with a sudden bright light enveloped her surroundings. Her body is incased with a crystal sphere, suddenly it has turned into a flower. All the sudden, it opens as her body glowed into the water. The flower petals dance around the water as if it is ribbons themselves. For instance, the petals and water ribbons have surrounded her body and started to wrap around her torso and midsection. Suddenly, a white leotard with a pink bow in the center and a yellow brooch is clip onto it. As the yellow collar with three pink stripes appeared. May crosses her arms; then the petals and water ribbons wrap around her arm-length white gloves trimmed with yellow and pink. Then the pink petals and water ribbons wrapped around her legs. Suddenly, a pair of yellow high heels with pink designs and has a yellowish pink dot on the toe. Suddenly, a pair of yellow and pink star earrings appeared on each of her ears. Within a flash from the pink petals and water ribbon, a yellow skirt appears that is around May's waist with a pink bow on the back. Within a few flashes, a yellow choker with a pink stripe with a small gem appeared. Onto May's forehead, a small gem began to glow to a bright yellow as a silver tiara formed. May smiled as she spun around and strike a pose in front of an image of zoisite stone with pink roses in the background.

Back in reality, the glow has dimmed. Showing May has now changed into a Sailor Guardian. "Who are you?" the Red Queen asked angrily.

"Who...am I?" the new scout mumbled as her gem glowed. "I am..." she smiled. "I am a pretty guardian," she began. "Who fights for love and goodness, I am Sailor Zoisite! In the name of the sacred gems, I will blast your eyes out with the shining blaze."

"Our master has a feeling that a new scout would appear," the Red Queen spoke. "But wasn't expecting that we were about to run into you so soon."

"Well sorry to ruin your game because I don't like to play as a pawn." Sailor Zoisite spoke. "If you do, I won't let you. Not now, not ever." Sailor Zoisite started to glow.

"Sister, we must take our leave." The Queen of Hearts spoke.

"Not without..." the Red Queen grunted.

"Hey Queenie," Sailor Topaz called out. Both of the Queen's turned to her. "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"

"Because it is made of crow," the Queen of Hearts giggled.

"Huh?" both Sailor Topaz and Sailor Earth raised a brow.

"No, you idiot," the Red Queen angrily spoke. "It's because of a writer's place by giving a name."

"Oh, if you are so smart." The Queen of Heart has started to argue with the Red Queen.

"Now Sailor Zoisite," Sailor Jadeite spoke.

"With pleasure," Sailor Zoisite spoke. "ZOISITE SONIC BURST!" Sailor Zoisite tosses her attack. With her attack, pushed both tosses' queens away and destroyed their weapons at the same time. Within a blink of an eye, both of the Queens have crash-landed onto Berthier.

"You idiots," Berthier grunted. "What are you doing?"

"Sailor Moon," Sailor Earth cried out as she slowly walks towards her.

"Sailor Earth," Sailor Moon nearly gasped. "You're not supposed to..."

"Lecture me later," Sailor Earth pulled out her Earth Stick. "Now let's work together to return them back to normal." Slowly, Sailor Moon began to understand as she pulled out her Moon Rod.

"Okay, let's do this." Sailor Moon assured their strategy.

Sailor Earth nodded.

"MOON..." Sailor Moon cried out.

"EARTH..." Sailor Earth added.

"PRINCESS HALATION!" both Sailor Moon and Sailor Earth combined their attack as it aims at Berthier, the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen.

Berthier screamed as she has disappeared without a trace.

"REFRESH!" both the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen cried out as they transformed into items. Then energy has been released from the items as it collapsed onto the ground.

With one glimpse, Sailor Earth recognize what they are. "Of course, the deck of cards and a chess piece." Sailor Earth shook her head, "What a classic."

Sailor Moon giggled.

"Hang on Sailor Mercury, I'll get you out." Sailor Jupiter spoke.

"I'll help you," Sailor Zoisite volunteered.

"Thanks," Sailor Jupiter smiled. As both Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Zoisite about to set Sailor Mercury free, Rubeus suddenly appeared and stopped them.

"It's no use," Rubeus smirked. "Berthier's water is a torrent that never runs dry."

"What?" Sailor Zoisite spoke suddenly, a light a beamed from above and started to take both Rubeus and Sailor Mercury away.

"Hey, get back here!" Sailor Topaz angrily shouted.

"Topaz, wait." Sailor Earth started to feel dizzy and almost lost balance.

"I got you," Sailor Topaz caught her before she could fall over.

"Thanks," Sailor Earth weakly spoke as Sailor Topaz helps her to stand. Before they knew it, both Rubeus and Sailor Mercury have disappeared with the sky. And they have disappeared, without a trace.

"NO!" Sailor Turquoise spoke.

"SAILOR MERCURY! /AMI-SEMPAI!" Sailor Moon/ Sailor Zoisite cried out as tears are flowing down from their view.

From the distance, a girl is walking with another girl at the library. Suddenly, both of them felt on ease feeling. The slightest glimmer of an object that is around their necks, a soon that they realized till soon occur.
