Peace

Chapter Seven. Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibimoon arrived just in time to see a youma go flying into a tree. A tree that they were standing beside. Then they heard a familiar voice. " Don't you know better than to go walking alone on this side of the park ? " They ( generals, Darien) looked down and saw Sailor Venus lying on the ground , her energy in a cloud above her. They followed the long pair of legs standing by her to a pair of emerald eyes that were glittering with rage. A glowing symbol of Jupiter and long auburn hair that was floating in the gentle breeze. " Leta ! " Chibimoon cried happily. By then the other Scouts had arrived. Nervously they looked back and forth between the youma , Leta and Sailor Moon. They didn't move. The youma stopped what they were doing and surrounded Leta and the weakened Sailor Venus. Leta assumed a fighting stance , preparing for battle. Sailor Venus cringed in fear and pain. Leta grabbed her hand and yanked her to her feet. " I'm going to toss you over the youma alright ? " When Venus nodded , Leta picked her up over her head and yelled. " Darien catch her ! " With that said Leta threw Venus over her head and into Darien's arms. The youma chose that particular moment to attack . They moved in even closer and grabbed Leta. Her eyes glittering Leta fought with all her might. She tossed one youma over her head onto its fallen comrade , another was punched and kicked before it followed its friends. Leta was consumed with rage and the others could only watch in awe as she single-handedly kicked the youma's asses. A strange green aura surrounded her , the sign of Jupiter glowed even brighter as the fighting continued. Two youma were sneaking up behind her when Sailor's Neptune , Uranus and Pluto finally got into motion. " World Shaking ! " " Deep Submerge ! " " Dead Scream . " The three combines attacks instantly killed the two youma. " Thanks . " Leta shouted over her shoulder. " Anytime . " Uranus returned. Nephrite watched with a sense of pride as Leta and the three Outers fought together against the last two youma. When they were lying in a pile they all shouted at Sailor Moon . " Now Sailor Moon ! " She nodded and gave the final attack. " Silver moon crystal power kiss ! " Her attack did the trick and the remaining youma were all destroyed. Once that was done Sailor Moon looked at Leta. But before she could say anything she was interrupted. " Hi guys sorry I'm late . " Startled they all looked over at the owner of the voice. She was beautiful. Her curly, black hair had streaks of green shades and tones , went down to her knees . Her ebony eyes reflected the moon , she was about five' four" tall and was wearing the Sailor Jupiter fuku in a lighter green. " Who are you ? " Mars demanded. " Sailor Jupiter , d'uh . " She said. " The old Sailor Jupiter is gone and I was sent to replace her . " " What ! " Leta exclaimed. " I'm Sailor Jupiter . Who are you supposed to be ? You're not a Scout , that much I know . " Nobody said anything, they just stared at the person claiming to be Sailor Jupiter. They glanced at Leta and saw her green glow and Jupiter symbol disappear . " Nobody important . " She said as she walked away . " I didn't think so . " She sneered watching her leave. The other Scouts watched her leave, ignoring the stranger. Tears were forming in a few of their eyes. " Leta , .." A weak Venus whispered. " come back . " Uranus , who was holding up Venus , gave her a gentle hug and said. " I don't think that she'll be coming back . " Then turning to the stranger she demanded. " Who the hell do you think you are ? " " I told you . I am Sailor Jupiter . " She repeated angrily. " Who are you ? " " Sailor Uranus . " " Oh and the rest of you ." These are Sailors Pluto , Neptune , Saturn." Sailor Moon supplied. " Mars , Mercury and the one that Uranus is holding is Sailor Venus. This is Sailor Chibimoon and I am Sailor Moon. " " Pleased to meet you and the other men behind you ? " Sailor Moon looked questionably at the generals and Darien. They all shook their heads in a silent no. " Their names are a secret. I don't even I don't know. " She lied. " Whatever . " Jupiter shrugged. " Well as much as I would love to stay and chat , " Mars said , glaring at Jadeite. " I have tons of work to do back at the Temple . " " And I have to get back to the hospital . " Mercury added not looking at Zoicite. " I gotta movie to shoot . " Venus said weakly . " Gotta book it . " " And we're driving her to the set . " Neptune and Uranus said as they walked away with Venus. " We have a test to study for . " Saturn and Chibimoon ran off. Pluto shrugged. " And I promised to help them . " Sailor Moon frowned as the Scouts left. She sighed and looked at ' Jupiter ' . " Sorry about that . So you were sent here to replace Jupiter . " " Yes I was . " She smiled . ' Damn I wanted to talk to Leta and give her back her wands ' Sailor Moon thought . ' Now what am I supposed to do ? ' " Well as much as I'd love to stay and chat I must be going . " ' Jupiter said . " See you at the next fight. " Sailor Moon frowned and de-transformed. " Why are you frowning Serena ? " Jadeite asked. " Huh ? " Serena said . "Oh I was just hoping to give some things back to a friend of mine and fix a little error in judgement. But I can't now . " " Talking about Leta ? " Darien prodded. Serena nodded . " Yeah I wanted to apologize to her and give her back her transformation wands. But now that this new Sailor Jupiter is here I don't know what to do . " " It's pretty complicated right now I guess . " Darien shrugged. " So what are you guys going to do now ? " Serena asked the generals. " Don't have a clue . " " May I make a suggestion . " " Sure . " " Go shopping . " Chapter Eight. A couple weeks after the fight Leta was busy packing up her belongings into boxes when the doorbell rang. " It's open ! " Leta shouted. The door opened and in walked Amy, Mina and Rei . " Hi Leta . " " Oh hi you guys. " Leta smiled. " What are you guys up to ? " " Oh nothing much . " Rei replied. " How about you ? " " I'm boxing up my stuff and getting ready to move . " " Need any help ? " Amy asked. " Sure what do you want to do ? " Before they could answer the doorbell rang again. " Come in ! " " Hi Leta . " Haruka smiled . " Hi ." " The girls called us and told us that we had to come to your apartment . " Michiru explained . " So what do you want us to do ? " " You can either wash windows or the floors , vacuum , dust or help Leta pack up her stuff. " Mina said. " Okay . " The jobs were quickly divvied up and everyone got the work . " So who were those guys with Darien at the battle a couple weeks ago ? " Hotaru asked. " It looked like you guys knew them." " They were part of our lives during the Silver Millennium . " Rei growled. " And now they're back. " " Take it easy Rei , it's just a cloth . " Amy said. " And we don't know why they're back . " " Who are they ? " Hotaru repeated. " They were generals from Earth , then they were generals from the Dark Kingdom . " Amy sighed. " They came back to Earth under Metallia's spell again a few years ago , that was the first time since the Moon Kingdom was destroyed that the Inner Scouts battled or even remembered parts of their lives on the Moon . They fought us and lost many times. " " Eventually Queen Beryl and her master Metallia got fed up with them and killed them . " Leta continued. " Either that or they killed each other because they wanted a chance to fight us . " Rei added. " Or they got killed by their own attacks . " " Oh . " Hotaru whispered. " So why were they with Darien ? " " We don't know . " Mina said through clenched teeth. " And I for one could care less . " The Inner Scouts all nodded in agreement. " So what are you going to do now ? " Michiru asked. " Do about what ? " " Those guys . " " Ignore them and get on with our lives." Mina replied as she viciously scrubbed the floor. " It's just a floor Mina . " Leta sighed. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ " So do you guys have a place to stay while you're here ? " Darien asked. " Nope . " Zoicite replied as he examined a shirt. " We didn't think that far ahead. " Kunzite added. " All we wanted to do was find the girls and beg their forgiveness . " Nephrite said sheepishly . " And then we'd go from there . " " Well I know for a fact that all of the hotels around here are full , " Darien sighed. " so there goes that idea. Hey I know . " " Know what sir ? " Jadeite asked as he stepped out from behind a rack of ties. " It's Darien Jadeite, not sir. " Darien rolled his eyes. " And I know where you guys can stay . " " Yeah where ? " " In my apartment complex. " He replied. " There are plenty of vacant apartments there for a decent rent. " " Are you sure about that Darien ? " Zoicite asked. " Of course I'm sure . Plus I know where all of the girls live . " " Sounds good to me . " Nephrite said. " Then it's settled. " Darien declared. " Have you guys got everything that you need ? " ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ " Everything is going according to plan I presume . " " Yes my Lord. Everything is perfect . " " Excellent. " " When I get through with the Sailor Scouts they won't now what hit them . " A female snickered. " At least until it's too late . " " I certainly hope so . " Her employer said. " Dismissed . " " Wait my Lord I have a question to ask. " " What ? ! " " Well in your package you never gave me a description of what the Scouts looked like. Or anyone that hung around with them. Today when I arrived at the fight I saw a young woman fighting off seven youma on her own. She was surrounded by a strange green aura . She took care of three or four of them before three of the Scouts joined in. She wasn't even a little scared of them . Who was she ? " " What did she look like ?" " She was very tall , long auburn hair in a high ponytail , and she had the greenest eyes that I have ever seen . Also I could have sworn that I saw a greenish number four on her forehead. " " That was the old Sailor Jupiter . " Her master replied. " Oh. She was very beautiful. I've never seen anyone fight so well nor anyone that strong . " " She was the strongest of all the Inner Senshi physically in both her Sailor and human forms . She is the only Senshi besides Sailor Moon that can kill a youma with her powers alone . No other Scouts can, with the possible exception of Saturn. " " Wow . One more question. " " What ? ! " " There were five men with them . Four of them looked like generals of some sort . " " Descriptions . " " Well one had long silver hair and grey eyes , another had long brown hair and green eyes , a third with long sandy hair and green eyes , the fourth had short blond hair and blue eyes. The last one had short black hair and eyes that were such a dark blue they were almost black. Oh , and they were all tall. Four were in tattered grey uniforms, the fifth was in civilian attire." " The four in the grey uniforms were all generals of the Dark Kingdom. The fifth sounds like Prince Endymion. " He replied. " Are you sure than there were only four of them in the grey uniforms ? " " Yes why ? " " There are supposed to be four more . "
