When the girls arrived home, Neflite was waiting for them. He had heard there was something that happened in the city where the girls were and he was worried. That and also that the girls were home sooner than expected. He figured they would be out all day until close to supper if not longer. He watched as the limo driver got out and opened the door for the girls to get out.

Neflite walked over to Molly and took her hand. “You are home early.”

“And we have something to tell you,” Mina said. “But before we say anything, we need everyone here.”

“Is it bad?” Neflite questioned.

“Depends on how you look at it. If you asking if there was a run in with the Negaverse then the answer is yes,” Molly said.

“But it’s what happened that everyone needs to hear,” Rita said. “By the way is Andrew here?”

“Him and the boys showed up an hour ago.”

“Good. I want to see my babies.” Rita walked past Neflite.

Neflite was about to question her mood when Serena spoke. “You’ll know soon enough.”

“I’m freezing out here,” Molly said.

Neflite took his wife’s hand and escorted her into the house. Serena was not far behind. She couldn’t wait to get warmed up in the arms of her boyfriend. The limo driver opened the trunk and began to take things out and placing them in the foyer.

“So what is this all about?” Jedite asked impatiently.

“Oh shut up,” Raye said. “Don’t mind him. He’s moody because Mom and Grandpa beat him at chess.”

“And I thought I was getting good,” Jedite whined.

“Well Jedite,” Amy said. “It takes time and lots of practice to be good.”

“Well as you know Rita, myself, Mina and Molly went shopping today,” Serena said. “While we were out, the Negaverse attacked.”

“What’s so special about that?” Jedite quickly dodged a sucker punch from Raye.

“It’s what happened durning the fight that matters,” Mina said. “I’m still trying to get over the shock of it.”

“Molly and Rita went Sailors,” Serena stated.

Everyone in the room gasped.

“You're serious,” Neflite said.

“The evil Mercury had Kim and her lawyer dangling upside down. I got so furious that body transformed on it’s own. All because Kim’s seven months pregnant.”

“And she attacked without thinking,” Mina breathed. “Molly was so amazing. That the evil Scouts didn’t even have time to dodge many attacks.”

“What about Rita?” Andrew asked.

“Rita saw the evil Mercury get ready to attack three innocent children,” Serena said.

“My will to protect children did the same for me as it did for Molly. I transformed and no one knew I was coming until it was too late.”

“But the best part was when Beryl sent more minions,” Serena couldn’t keep the enthusiasm down. “Mina and I were fighting Mimete and Iron Mouse and we weren’t doing good at all. Then suddenly Molly came between us and taunted them. They both attacked and Molly knocked us down.”

“Rita in the meantime taunted the remaining evil Scouts and made them fire on her. She ducked and the blasts hit Mimete and Iron Mouse.”

“What happened to them?” Zoisite asked.

“I’ll put it to this way,” Serena said. “They are Moon dusted.”

“Rita...and...Molly threw the Negaverse attacks on each other,” said Trista. “Amazing.”

“Now you see why we wanted everyone to hear. I can almost guarantee that we’ll be on the news.”

“Wouldn’t surprise me,” Neflite said, shaking his head from the news. He couldn’t believe that his Molly turned to a Scout.

“Neflite,” Rita said. “Thank you for training me. I wouldn’t have been able to help those children if it weren’t for you.” Then she looked at the two aliens. “Or you two either.”

“Well we’re glad to have helped,” Alan said. “Now all of surprises have been revealed. Beryl will now...”

“Make a counter attack,” Malachite said. “Girls, be ready. The fight has now heated up.”

* * * * * * * *

Jenna listened in shock as Astral explained how Molly turned into Sailor Earth and fought off Beryl’s minions. Even to Jenna’s youma it was amazing.

“Where’s Ghostal now?” Jenna asked.

“At the mansion. She’s come with an idea. She is going to talk to Neflite,” Flina said. “She thinks that maybe Neflite may be able to help us.”

“Why would he help me? I think he’d rather let me die.”

“He may not do it for you,” Zini said. “He may do it for us. He knows that there were denizens who didn’t want to be here. If he was to know they are still alive he may help.”

* * * * * * * *

Neflite was busy working in his den when he heard a sudden sound. Quickly getting to his feet he checked outside the door to see if the maid was vacuuming. But there was no one there. He was, however, having a strange feeling of being watched. He turned back, closing the door behind him and began to move back to his desk. A quick white shadow flutter across the desk.

“Who’s here?” Neflite demanded about ready to attack.

“Don’t attack,” a soft voice answered.

“Reveal yourself then!”

The white shadow began to take form to a ghost like person.

Neflite gasped. “Ghostal. You’re still alive?”

“Yes. My power to go invisible has kept me alive.”

“So you are what I’ve been sensing. Where you are a ghost, my powers can’t detect you.”

“No. I am here on a personal mission. I know you don’t like Jenna. But...” she said as she saw Neflite growl. “She is now a prisoner of the Negaverse.”

“Why should I care?”

“Myself and ten other youma are her minions. We are making plans to escape but I think maybe you can help us. I’m asking for your help. Not for Jenna but for the others, and myself please put aside your anger. She can never undo the damage that she has caused but she will be willing to spend the rest of her life making it up.”

“You came here on your own accord?”

“Yes. In fact Jenna doesn’t even know about this. Well she may know now. We can help each other. I can help you when Beryl attacks and you can help us by helping us get free.”

“Alright. I’ll do this for you, but not for Jenna. If she’s helped out that’s fine but I’m not going to go out of way to help her, only you.”

“Thanks. That’s all I’m asking. I must get back before Beryl notices that I’m gone.” Ghostal faded away to nothingness.

* * * * * * * *

Queen Beryl was furious. She couldn’t believe that two new Sailors entered the picture and worse yet two of her best warriors were gone. Sailor Sun diverted the evil scouts attack to hit Mimete and Iron Mouse.

“Why do those scouts,” she said through clenched teeth. “Always end up having surprises that benefits them. This is starting become too much. Something has to been done.” She looked up as Ninjanna appeared. “What!”

“Your majesty,” the ninja warrior said. “Three youma have been sent out without permission.”

“Which warriors?”

“The three weakest. None of them belong to anyone. At least not that I can tell.”

“Who the hell is leashing out youma. That is the third time this month. Find out who is doing this.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

When Ninjanna was gone, Beryl looked into the distance of the throne room. She quickly recognized something moving and then disappeared. The only who ever could move like that died when the Negaverse was defeated before.

“Could it be?” she whispered to herself. “Magnus still lives? If it’s true, is he the one who is sending out the youma? I must find out.” Queen Beryl stood and vanished.

She reappeared in what use to be a room. A room she had set up for a human male that came willingly to the Negaverse. She looked around as nothing was touched from the last time she looked in this room. She looked around the room and found a note. That wasn’t there before.

She picked it up and read. ‘Seem familiar. Can you guess who sent the minions? You are pathetic, worse than your warriors. Killing Eudial the way you did was also not called for. We’ll keep in touch.’ She looked up and clenched the noted in her fingers. “Magnus!”

* * * * * * * *

The three youma who were unleashed into the city, didn’t know what to do. All they knew was that they were sent out by their leader. They didn’t want to defy the queen’s orders but their leader made it worth their while. If they went up against the scouts he would insure their survival.

As they walked through the city, people kept giving them odd looks. Maybe it was how hideous they were or maybe it was because they didn’t have much on for clothing. Only a scrap of cloth covered themselves. The cloth also looked brown and worn like something from a mummy movie or something.

Over on one side of the street, they saw a girl who looked like Sailor Venus. She was dressed for the weather but her blond hair and red bow looked like a target. The tallest of the three went towards her and grabbed her before she could yelp.

She began to struggle but it was no use. Her capture had a good hold of her. She quickly felt her legs leave the ground as a smell tested her nostrils. The smell was strong and she felt like passing out from it. Darkness started to evade her thoughts as she felt her body shimmer.

When she awoke, she was lying on a couch. She looked down at herself and she was no longer wearing her winter coat but a long black dress that revealed her cleavage. More than she would like it to be considering she was in a place she didn’t know. She looked up and saw three ugly youma. One of them was female. She quickly jumped off the couch to defend herself.

“No need for that,” a voice said from the shadows. “You are my guest.”

“Who are you?” she demanded.

“Someone who wishes to help. You and your friends are now strong enough to defeat the evil Sailors. Convince Neflite to drop the shield and you will defeat the scouts on your turf.”

“Why would you want to help us?”

“Come, come Sailor Venus. Queen Beryl needs to get off her high throne. She’s been in charge long enough. Time for some damage control.”

Suddenly she felt her legs give away, like someone just kicked her in the back of the knees and everything went dark.

* * * * * * * *

“Mina. Mina.”

A blurred vision of a person came into view and when that person was clearly visible, the person spoke. “Oh good you’re awake. We were worried about you.”

Mina looked into the eyes of her lover and then jumped into his arms. As she jumped she felt her regular clothes. Malachite was surprised at first but hugged her back.

“I...I...”

“Don’t say a word,” he soothed, smoothing out her hair. “A few people say they saw you disappear and then returned a while later unconscious.”

Mina pulled away. “I was kidnapped by three youma who dressed me in some sort of black dress. A voice was heard from somewhere in the shadows and he told me to get Neflite to drop the shield. He said that we are strong enough to defeat our counterparts.”

“Any idea who it was?”

“No.” Mina looked around and saw that she was in the comfort of her apartment. “I do know that it wasn’t Rubeus. If it was, Rubeus wouldn’t have stayed in the shadows.”

“No he wouldn’t. This person thinks were tough enough to defeat the clones?”

“He seems to be. Listen I don’t like this guy. He seems creepy.”

“I’ll see what Neflite says.”

“Other than that. It was fine except for the dress. It was too revealing for my liking in an unknown place.”

“That’s understandable. Hopefully this guy didn’t take advantage of you.”

“I don’t think so. If he did, I would feel it. And I don’t.”

* * * * * * * *

Neflite was skeptical of dropping the shield but he did agree at what the man who kidnapped Mina said. He did figure they were strong enough to defeat the clones. Just like when they trapped Beryl for the crystal in exchange for Grandpa, Neflite dropped the shield after telling everyone. This time though he placed the shield against the house to protect everyone in it that could not fight. But this time Mina was ready to battle, unlike last time when she feared to fight.

The scouts readied themselves, as they knew the clones were about to arrive. Before too long, Prince Diamond, Team 5 and the clones arrived.

“You think you can defeat us,” Diamond said. “You have no more tricks up your sleeves.”

“No but we know what to expect,” Sailor Moon said back. “You will unleash the clones against us and the Team 5 against the ex-generals.”

“Not too mention, Team 5 will make sure work of your two new Sailor friends.”

“Oh we’re scared,” Sailor Sun taunted. “Bring it on. Let’s see how we deal with the Team 5. I wonder what it will be like against the strongest General group.”

“Bold words. I’m looking forward to shoving them down your throat,” Vivianite said. “Last time you got lucky. But this time we are ready.”

“We are also ready for your alien friends,” Tincal said.

“Might as well get this done and over with,” Sailor Moon said. “When ever you’re ready evil Moon.”

“Good. Let’s get to work.” The cloned Sailor Moon jumped into the air and flung her tiara at her counterpart.

Sailor Moon also jumped and countered the attack with her tiara.

Prince Diamond watched as the cloned scouts and the real scouts were equally matched. He knew soon that their heavy arterially would be soon arriving. So he would need to bring out his just as soon as the Starlights arrived on the scene. No sooner thought, and the three female warriors jumped out of nowhere.

“Team 5. Start phase 1,” Diamond announced.

Slowly each of Team 5 started their spin, blowing snow and the scouts. The ex-generals were expecting this and they countered the attack but they couldn’t do much more. They stood between the scouts and Team 5, blocking their attack.

Ghostal and her team, who hid in the shadows, took their chance. When they heard that Beryl was about to attack, Jenna had sent her youma to protect them.

Flina in her leopard form and Lurine in her lion form, who were behind the Team 5, ran out from the bushes and attacked Vivianite and Tincal. The two fell to the ground and the formation of the attack was released. The wind quickly died down.

“What the?” Diamond blurted. “Wild animals? How can that be?”

“Get these,” Vivianite screamed. “Things off of me!” Suddenly Vivianite screamed out in pain. The female lion that attacked her bit into her arm.

Diamond threw an energy ball to fling the lion off the female general. The lion flew off and then stood back up. The lion bared her teeth as she growled.

Tincal was wrestling with the leopard and finally got her off of him. The leopard flew and landed beside the lion. She stood back up and bared her teeth.

“It seems,” Tincal panted. “These wild animals know something we don’t.”

“I don’t think they’re wild animals,” Diamond said. “I think they are youma of the Negaverse.”

“Enough talk,” Sailor Venus shouted. “Let’s get them!”

“VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!”

“JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!”

“NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE!”

“URANUS WORLD SHAKING!”

The four attacks went swirling around each other and then combined into one huge attack. The attack hit the clones, knocking them to the ground.

When they stood back up the clones prepared their attacks. Ghostal, who stood in the trees, jumped and started making circles around the clones. The clones tried to make an attack but couldn’t get locked on to the target. All they could do to see was a white blur going around them.

Trinast, Astral and Benaka came out from their hiding place and attacked the clones. They jumped into the middle the group, startling the clones.

While still going around the clones, Ghostal spoke. “Scouts. Make your final attack and make it work. Don’t worry about us. We’ll be fine.”

Sailor Moon, who knew who spoke, nodded. Neflite had gone up to her just before the battle and told her that some youma were on their side.

All eleven scouts, Earth and Sun too, powered up their attacks and flung their most powerful attack towards the clones. Just as the power was about to hit the clones, the wild animals and the ghost jumped out of the way.

The clones didn’t even have time to react when they were hit and turned to dust where they stood.

Diamond and Team 5 looked up stunned at what just happened. Diamond was the first to recover. “You haven’t heard the last of us!” Diamond vanished, as did the Team 5.

“We did it,” Sailor Moon shouted. “We stopped the clones!”

“Yes you did.”

The scouts turned and looked at the wild animals. They were standing beside a ghost.

“How...how can this be?” Jupiter asked.

Ghostal clapped her hands and the wild animals turned into people. Another youma also appeared. Everyone gasped, except for Neflite.

“We are youma of the Negaverse but don’t wish to continue. We once use to be humans,” Jersa said. “We don’t have time to introduce ourselves. But we are on your side. Good bye scouts for now.”

Ghostal and the other youma vanished.

“Wow! More help,” Earth said. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I’ll get into it later. Right now. The portal to the Negaverse is still opened. It’s time to end this now,” Neflite said sternly. “Starlights, you with us?”

“You bet,” Sailor Star Maker said. “Time for action.”

“We’re coming too,” Prisma said. “We have a score to settle with the Dark Moon Family.”

Neflite nodded to the other ex-generals and they flung their hands revealing the opened the portal. Everyone jumped through preparing to battle the worse battle of their lives, the destruction of the Negaverse.
