Author's Note: Hola, mina!! This is the chapter with the surprise ending.
So I won't spoil it. I'm sure you're all eager to see who the shadows were,
and not reading some lame authors note, so I'll shut up now. Keep readin',
and I'll keep writin'! :) Love, Mina

P.S. As always, WRITE ME!!!! ^_^;;

"Invited by a New Age, I am Sailor Uranus!! I fight for Magnificance!"

"Also invited by a New Age, I am the Elegant Fighter, Sailor Neptune."

"Guarding the Gates of Time, I am Sailor Pluto. I won't let you destroy our
planet!!"

"Huh???" Mandi asked, at the sight of 3 girls in Sailor outfits like mine, 
except different colored. "The Outers? They look different..."

Uranus looked basically the same, with the same blond hair style, except that
she was much shorter than Haruka. Neptune had reddish hair, straighter than 
Michiru's, and not aqua colored, but she was about the same height. Pluto's 
appearance was the most drastically looking change, as she had shorter 
blondish hair, and was carrying the long time key, except that it looked 
huge, about twice her height, and she was ALREADY much taller than both 
Uranus and Neptune.

"WORLD....!!" Uranus began, and raised her arm. But I took it upon myself to 
stop her.

"STOP!!!" I screamed, and she looked at me oddly.
"KATE??" She asked, stunned. "You're... a Sailor Senshi too?? You girls...
must be the Inner Senshi, then?"
"Inner Senshi?? Sorry," Pluto said. "We thought you guys were bad guys. We've
been fighting a lot of them lately."
"Chris?? Cerra?? And..." I looked closer at Neptune. "Sabrina?"
"Yeah, that's us," Sabrina aka Neptune said.

"So how long have you known you were the Outer Senshi?" I asked Chris, my
cousin.
"I'd say probably about a couple days." She answered casually.
"Then why in heck didn't you tell me??"
"We were swarn to secrecy," Cerra informed me. "We couldn't tell anyone."
"Oh," I sighed, eying her evily. It was a shame I hated her, because overall
she was a pretty nice girl. I was just too jealous of her to ever be friends
with her.

"Are you Sailorvenus?" Chris asked.
"Yup."
"COOL!!!" She burst out. My group looked at her strangely.

"So who exactly are you girls?" Jessy asked. "Do you have powers like Kate?"

"Yeah. Dead.... Scream...." Cerra whispered, and suddenly spinned around and 
blasted something with her tall Time Key. It was a dark shadow, which 
shrivled to the ground making a hissing noise. "Damn demons..." 

"Eeek," Becca cowered in back of Jessy. 
"Scary." She agreed. "So WHERE ARE WE???"
"We're in the Time Warp," Pluto answered. "Trying to get rid of all these 
stupid demons."
"Why are WE here?" Mandi put in.
"Don't know. Maybe you guys are summoned to get your powers now? To be the 
Inner Senshi?"

"Umm.... we don't have to wear outfits like that, right??" Shawn asked, eying
William strangely, who was smiling.

"Let's hope not..." I commented.

"I hope we're not... THE STARLIGHTS!! GOD, NOT THE STARLIGHTS!! ANYTHING BUT 
THE STARLIGHTS!!!!" Darien screamed. I just rolled my eyes.

"The WHO?!" Jessy was still beyond confused at all this.

"NEVER MIND, let's just get moving. We've gotta kick some demon ass," Chris
said, strikingly Haruka-like.

"BUT..... HOW??????" Ducky screamed. 

"USE YOUR POWERS, GENIOUS!!!!"

"WHAT powers?!?!?!?!" William added.

Uranus sighed. I just smiled, as our huge group of 4 Sailor-suited teenagers
and 8 normally dressed teenagers moved towards a pale light in the distance.

* * * * *


"DEEP.... SUBMERGE...."

*Cue an interesting sequence in which Neptune blasts out a planet shaped
object , lots of water, and then there is a loud   b l a s t ! !   as the
demon breaks up and explodes*

"HO-ly..." Jessy exclaimed.

"WORLD.... SHAKING!!!"

*Cue another interesting sequence in which Uranus blasts out a planet shaped
object , and then the ground shakes and is split apart, and another demon 
explodes*

"They sure know how to kick ass," Dani commented.

I suddenly felt an urge to prove MYSELF. "No way!! I can kick WAY more butt!!
VENUS... Love and BEAUTY.... SHOCK!!!!"

There is a long pause, as nothing happens.

"Ugh," I anime sweatdropped.

"Sure Kate," Dani grinned. "In your DREAMS, that is."

"BE QUIET, YOU!! WHY ISN'T IT WORKING????" I kneeled down to the ground, and
faked crying hysterically. "MY FAVORITE POWER DOESN'T WORK!"
Jessy sighed. "Oh, boy.... someone needs a chill pill."
"SPAZ!!!" Darien commented.
"Jerk," I muttered under my breath.

"So..." Dani started. "How many more of these annoying freakin' demons are we
gonna have to kill? And WHEN do I get to become Sailor Mars?!?"
"You??" I looked at her. "As IF... what makes you think YOU'RE Sailormars?"
"Because...." She glanced back, paused, stuck her nose up, and tossed her 
hair back very Rei-like. "...I said so."

Jessy, Becca, and I anime sweatdropped. ^_^;;

"Someone's self-righteous," Shawn commented to Mandi. She smiled at him.

"Come on, quick... this way," Chris grabbed a hold of my hand, and yanked me
to the right. The only thing I managed to utter out before I was already
moving was something to the extent of, "What the-"

* * * * * * * * *

"CHRIS... WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?!" I yelled, and tried to pull away. 
"Don't stop running, just KEEP MOVING VENUS!!"
"WHY?! WHERE ARE WE GOIIIIAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" I let out a blood curdling
scream as she lifted me over her shoulders, and my skirt flipped up. "PUT
ME DOWN!!! THIS MINUTE!!!!" 

I had * no * idea she could lift me like that!! ^_^ Last time I checked, she
was a completely weak, 4'11", 13 year old blond. 

But apparently...

Something was different now.

She lifted me up as if I weighed nothing....

"CHRIS.. please tell me... please tell me where we're going...."

No response.

"CHRIS!!!! ANSWER ME!!!!!!"

She wasn't. And the only things I heard around me were the sounds of demons
being blasted apart. I had never been more terrified.
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I had to stop this.

"Venus... LOVE ME.... CHAIIIIIIIN!!!!!!!"

*cue a sequence in which Sailorvenus (ME ME ME!! ^_^) shoots out a chain of 
multiple hearts.*

The hearts I let out from my attack spun around and around Chris and I, and 
she stopped dead in her tracks.

"Whoa... what the heck..." She said.

They spun around the two of us like a cage, and I flipped myself over Chris'
shoulder. She turned around to face me.

"Minako... why are you doing this..."

"Minako?!" I asked, shocked at her words. "Don't you mean Kate??"

"Venus... why won't you listen to me?! We have to keep running!!"

I paused, and thought.

"LISTEN TO ME, MINAKO. PLEASE!! I'm your teammate! Your fellow Sailorsenshi!!
Why don't you trust me?! Why won't you listen?!" She knelt down and cried.

But I knew better.

"Haruka... Sailor Uranus... whoever you are...."

"Why don't you believe me that I'm on your side?!?!?!"

"Because," I smiled, knowing for certain what I was about to do was the right 
thing. "You're not who you say you are. CRESCENT BEAM!!!!"

I blasted her with a quick little dose of my powers.

"WHA-???" She cried, her stomach lacerated. "Why did you-?!"

I continued to smile, and quickly pulled out a compact, the Venus Compact, 
(which... for this story's purposes, came out of nowhere ^_^) and held it out
to her. The mirror reflected her true identity the way I had guessed it 
to be.......

.......... a demon!!!

"Codename: SAILOR V!!! The Beautiful Senshi of Love, Sailor Venus! You 
can't trick me, my compact has shown your true form! So in the name of Venus,
you're punished for taking the form of my friend!!!
   CRESCENT.... BEAM... SHOWER!!!!!!" 

*cue a sequence that starts out like the Crescent Beam, but it splits into
thick multiple beams*

Most of the beams spread throughout our area of the Time Warp, but some of 
them hit the remaining demons and destroyed them, and the beam directly in 
front of me hit Haruka (well, the demon) hard, and she screamed as she was 
blasted apart.

"Eeeeeeew..." I smiled, and walked back to find my REAL friends.
