Cosmic Sailor Jupiter sighed as she jumped from rooftop to rooftop to get over to the park. “Those guy’s are so inexperienced,” she thought to herself as she approached the park from an eastern direction. Once there she stopped and looked up at the sky. “When I get home, I’m taking out my telescope to try to find Jupiter after a run and a refreshing shower. I definitely need to get into shape in this life,” she thought as she flexed her soar muscles. In this life, she was a lazy academic achiever in grade eight in Junior High School. She was so caught up in books and learning she didn’t really care about her appearance. “The way things change,” she thought happily. In her last life she was the total opposite, being as careful as possible to make sure she looked good and not caring at all about books but more interested in martial arts and acrobatics. After all, weren’t the Mercurians the studious ones? Ah, how things did change with time.
Cosmic Sailor Jupiter winced as she felt a sting of pain from her right shoulder. She carefully picked up the flap of the cowl with her left hand and studied the wound. It was shallow but bleeding. Somehow that yoma she had been fighting in single combat had sliced her with its long, sharp nails. The wound was probably infected with a painkiller substance that was on the nails so the wound would continue to bleed without her knowing. Hopefully a poison hadn't been introduced into her system. Although she had watched Sailor Saturn heal another person once, there seemed to be a different way of healing yourself then healing another.
”Looks like I’ll have to wait on that run, I might jar something, plus I think I did enough exercise today. So, I’ll take the shower first and clean the wound and bandage it after. Then I’ll get the telescope out and look for Jupiter. I’ll take a run in the morning before school.” Her eyes widened suddenly. “Damn! I still have to do that English book report on that stupid cereal box! Not to mention that Algebra test I have to study for! This so sucks. Ok, ok, lets see…the book report isn’t due till next week Friday and I’ve already read the book, which is more then I can say for others in the class, so I’ll do my studying for the test on the bus and I’ll maybe type the summary tonight between the viewing and the bath.” She suddenly looked up and around and found that she was in the middle of the park she had been heading for. She looked for anyone that might be around and saw nothing.
Just her luck, right place, right time. She closed her eyes and relaxed her body and put her hands, palms face down an inch away from her body. Her legs were a little apart as well as she started to harness the energy she would need…

A man with bright red hair and baggy brown trousers and a green tunic with a small medallion around his neck is staring at a hologram of a place made entirely of crystal. “Soon,” he said in a whisper, “soon our job here will be complete. Already those Senshi brats are weakening.” His voice rose, “Computer, show recording of fight number 3,058 from beginning.” The hologram disappeared and was replaced with another. It showed the four sisters and Jadeite fighting the Senshi. After a few wounds that were not serious, the Senshi in blue stepped forward and started collecting energy, with a spin the energy sphere was larger and denser. “SHABON SPRAY!” the girl released the attack and a thick fog covered the ground. A sudden flash of light in the fog stayed there for about three minutes and then blinked out.
The man frowned and then shock slowly slipped onto his face as the fog lifted. There, three shapes started to solidify into true images of three groups. One group was the Senshi that had been a little cut up and a second was the four sisters and Jadeite. The third group, however, were the Senshi they had left in the very soon future and then he noticed that they had also brought the neo-princess. “Computer, pause recording.” A time jump, it had to be! But, there wasn't anyone he knew about that would help the Senshi… except another Senshi! His eyes narrowed. “Pluto,” he hissed out. She was the only Senshi known for her mysteriousness, except for Saturn, and ability to manipulate time. No one knew what side she truly was on.
“Computer, fast forward.” The hologram fast-forwarded through a couple of power ups of Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, and the neo-princess. Also, it fast-forwarded through the release of the yoma’s and retreat of the four sisters and Jadeite. “Computer, slow down to regular time and focus on the neo-princess and her opponent.” The hologram slowed down and showed Cosmic Sailor E.M.S. unleashing her power and blinding herself. Then as Cosmic Sailor E.M.S.’s opponent was about to nock her out, a green and gold blur crossed the screen and hesitated around the area of Cosmic Sailor E.M.S. and then bounded away up to the top of a four story building. After about a minute the green and gold blur came down from the building. “Computer, try to clear up the image and focus on the person in green and gold.” The hologram slowed down and went frame by frame so now the guy named Rubeus could see a girl that looked like Sailor Jupiter but instead of the main white she had gold. Also, in the middle of the pink bow on her chest was a gold sphere with eight green stars. “Computer, during the fighting did any of the Sailor Jupiter's power up?”
(In a monotone voice coming from the speakers) “Negative, both Sailor Jupiter's are accounted for during this period of time.” The hologram zoomed out and showed the whole battleground. In the background were two Sailor Jupiter’s. One was attacking just to distract their opponent and the other was powering up her lightning attack.
“Computer, continue play and focus on the one wearing green and gold.” The girl pauses and looks up at the top of the building, “Don't worry, I’ll deliver you safely!” She waits till Cosmic Sailor E.M.S. is on the ground safely and then starts to run at the yoma that had been E.M.S.’s opponent and starts engaging in hand to hand combat. Then the girl sliced at the yoma with the sharp point of her staff and then jumped back. Before she jumped back she looked behind her to make sure there was no one there and during this the yoma slashed her right shoulder as the cowl flapped up as she crouched down for the jump. The cowl settled back down as she landed and started to power up. “DEATH RIBBON REVOLUTION!” Dozens of little black ribbons that were as sharp on the edges as could be thought possible started erupting from the tip of the staff and shooting out towards the yoma. They started cutting up the yoma and continued until the yoma turned into dust.
The girl staggered and leaned against the staff. For a moment the black visor that had clouded her upper face disappeared. “Computer, pause recording and enlarge the picture of the girl.” The hologram zoomed in on the girl. “Computer, use the link we have to the Royal Library of Crystal Tokyo and find out who it is.” The picture was outlined and the rest of the hologram dissolved. The outlined image shrank down and was moved to the left of the screen as a little window opened on the right and a whole lot of pictures of people’s faces flashed by. A picture showed up of the exact same person and stayed there.
(In the monotone voice again) “Cosmic Sailor Jupiter, leader of the Royal Moon Guard during the Silver Millennium.”
“Any other information?”
“Cosmic Sailor Jupiter broke the only rule of the Cosmic Senshi by swearing aliegence to the Moon Kingdom at the time she was initiated to the Royal Moon Guard.”
“What was the rule?”
“Thou shall not take sides in war unless called upon to do so.”
“Punishment?”
“She was brought before the Counsel of Nine that runs this galaxy. Punishment… Is in highly coded file.”
“Computer, start decoding the file.”
Warning bells clang in the background as red lights flashed on and off.
“What the hell?!”
Cooan came creaning out of one of the five mirrors installed around the perimeter of the room and stopped in a screeching halt before Rubeus. “Rubeus, we have a major problem! A high amount of energy is forming in a park on the ground!”
“How high?”
Cooan’s eyes widened, “That’s the thing! The power reading is off the chart!”
“WHAT?!!”
For a moment the air in the center of the chamber shivered as the hologram disappeared and the figure of the Wiseman came into being floating in the air.
“Rubeus! What’s going on?! One moment we had control over a crystal point in the future and suddenly a green and gold light flashed and nothing was left of the strong hold!”
“Wiseman, it would seem a very powerful foe has emerged in this time period. A Cosmic Sailor Senshi.”
“Hmm… find her! I must meditate over this new problem. I have a feeling she could be very useful if persuaded to help us…”
“What shall I do if we find where she is?”
“Seize her, with any means necessary, but seize her alive and restrain her.” His eyes blazed a sullen red under the hood of his cloak. “Yes, she may come in handy. Also find out as much as possible from the Royal Library of Crystal Tokyo about her. Rubeus, I entrust this task to you, leave the rest of the Sailor Senshi to the four sisters.”
“Yes, Wiseman, but I must also inform you, it would seem those rotten Sailor Senshi from the near future have followed us back in time to help their younger selves.”
For a moment the Wiseman stared into his crystal ball. “I care not, if this new Senshi can be persuaded to help us, they shall be whipped out!”
“Then I shall get right on it, Wiseman.” With that Rubeus bowed low to Wiseman. The air shimmered in the middle of the room and the original hologram of Crystal Tokyo came back into being.
Just then, Bertie came running through another of the five mirrors. “Rubeus! Were detecting a teleport beam from the surrounding vicinity of that high energy power!”
“I’m going to investigate this,” Rubeus said, “this person just might be that new Senshi.”
*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---
…to create a teleport beam to get her the fuck away from this place and back home. ::It’s not home, home is gone.:: True, home was now a desolate gas giant that didn’t even have a single life form on it. That was her true home, her home planet.
For a moment the energy she was gathering fluxed as her thoughts wondered. ::Damn, at this rate I’ll be late for dinner!!::
So intent on her own thoughts, Cosmic Sailor Jupiter didn’t even feel the dark energy that just appeared in the park behind her in the air. ::This is going to be easy! She doesn’t even know I’m here!:: With that in mind he forms his Fire Multi Sphere (NOTE: This is probably not the true name of his attack, but I had to call it something! It’s the attack with all those really small balls of dark energy.) Attack between his hands. Once formed, he pushes his hands outward, literally pushing the little spheres at the Senshi’s back.
“SAILOR TELEPORT!!” With that a column of alternating green and gold energy formed around her. As she started to feed the collected energy into the teleport beam, small rocks in a circle with a diameter of 6 feet started to lift off the ground and shatter into dust particles. The hair in her low ponytail started to lift vertical and spread apart a little, when the red dark energy cut into her armor and exploded atop of the skin on her back.
Her back arched and her head snapped up “AAAAAHHHHH!!” she screamed in a very high pitch as she flew forward 8 feet to fall sprawled on the ground face down in the dirt, her back bleeding from the near explosions.
“Ouch,” Rubeus laughed sarcastically.
Cosmic Sailor Jupiter struggled to her hands and knees. “You freakin’ piece of shit!” She paused and stood up and twirled around to face Rubeus. “I don’t know who you are, but you attacked me. Plus, you attacked me like a coward. Your dead MEAT!!”
Cosmic Sailor Jupiter placed her hands in a cupped position above her head. “DEEP,” streams of water appeared out of no where and started circling around her higher and higher till they collected into a sphere about the size of her head with a ring around it above her hands. “SUBMERGE!!” with her right hand she threw the sphere of water right in the direction of where Rubeus was levitating. As it neared, it stayed close to the ground, doubling in size till the very last second when it jumped up into the air and headed straight at Rubeus.
Rubeus waved his hand and a dark energy shield surrounded him. The minute the attack hit the shield it shorted out. Needless to say, Rubeus took confidence in the failed attack.
Rubeus smirked, then frowned as Cosmic Sailor Jupiter burst out laughing. “Oh, this is going to be a fun little skirmish!” she shouted at him.
“Soon you’ll be before my master and you won’t be so happy! I’ll enjoy watching you beg him for mercy!!”
“Really? And who’s gonna take me to him? You?” She burst into another fit of laughter.
“I will soon know all about you, Cosmic Sailor Jupiter.”
“Are we going to stand here all night? If so I’ll run over to the store across the street and buy something to drink, although they probably don’t take foreign currency, or do they? By the way, I don’t believe I got your name.”
“I’m Rubeus, loyal servant of the Nega-Moon,” with that he powered up his Fire Multi Sphere Attack and started attacking Cosmic Sailor Jupiter.
Cosmic Sailor Jupiter’s eyes snapped wider and a black energy field materialized in front of her. The attack hit the field and splashed across it. Her eyes went back to a look that made her seem lazy.
“Come on! If that’s the best you can do, I see why you’re after the Ginzuishou!”
BEEP! BEEP!
A huge sweat drop formed on Cosmic Sailor Jupiter’s forehead. For a moment her eyes slid to look behind her.
::That’s my communicator acting up! Why is it doing that? It shouldn’t be doing that! No one’s alive with a communicator on that frequency!::
Her eyes glazed over and her head snapped up as her right hand went straight up and her hand opened into a flat palm.
“SWORD OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM! COME TO MY HAND!”

The end… For now! Tune in next time for. . .
