The moment Sailor Mars seemed distracted by the feeling of someone else present, she could only describe it as being touched. She had a feeling that Sailor Neptune was also experiencing something similar, but was uncertain. This sensation could only be described as a sensual touch by someone nearby and yet far away simultaneously. There was an apparent iridescent glow that appeared to outline the surface of her body. A scent that followed with the light would be familiar to a few of the senshi present. "Smells like... like... Osmanthus fragrans.." In the moment that Sailor Mars recognized the scent she realized that the presence belonged to a friend of theirs.
She couldn't see the princess but she knew that she was closer than she realized. With the overwhelming, stressful feeling of the upcoming battle the presence touched her mind with a gentleness that soothed her troubled thoughts. A welcomed warmth that surrounded her psyche. The energy brushed past her and seemed to float in a sparkling red, pink, orange and golden light that shimmered lightly. Subtle glowing lights slowly took on a shape and transformed into butterflies. Every time the wings of the butterflies flapped in flight, Sailor Mars could have sworn she saw ghostly apparitions separate from the whole and move towards the trio of Starlights. One lowered closer to where Sailor Star Healer was holding onto Kira, while the other two appeared to reach out and place ghostly hands upon the shoulders of Star Fighter and Star Maker as if letting the know this being was there for them. Once the apparitions had touched each of them individually, the ghostly appearances appeared to merge back into one. Leaving a trail of sparkly glitter before them.
Sparkling glitter shimmered in air before the Starlight trio, with the lingering sweet scent that soothed any and all thoughts present. The presence that was there apparently had sensed the awakening of someone who had purposely been protected all their lives, shielded from the immense weight of the position that was once held. Only to be awakened in an untimely manner that had caused a great amount of distress across the stars. A calling, as one might say, that could be felt on the level of those whose blood runs in the royal line.
"Star Healer isn't in any condition to fight with us, for her own sake, and Kira's... let her go with you." "...That's fine... but I'll carry Kira. We can go once...Kira is safe to move." "the Three Lights... are the Starlights... us. We transformed in front of Kira, we all did because she's a Sailor Senshi, Sailor Sagittarius... she needed not to feel alone and that she could trust us." "Healer, as Star Maker said you should go with... Star Catcher...I'll stay here with the Mars and the others, and I'll see you back at home."
"Yes Star Fighter... let her come home..." Speaking into the Starlight's headsets, at first to address the leader of the group. Knowing that her sudden appearance to all of them would no doubt be a surprise, "I will be waiting for her arrival." Princess Kakyuu's image appeared only before the Starlights as a ghostly apparition as she spoke towards them. "I sensed an awakening... an awakening of royal blood. I felt her cries across the stars and skies..." Princess Kakyuu's projected astral image hovered before the trio seeming to fade away from their eyes, "Please, waste no more time. The girl... the princess needs to rest where she will be looked after and safe from harm. I will await your return after the battle."
Princess Kakyuu spoke one last time to her Starlights, "Star Fighter and Star Maker, do not let this youma underestimate you. As a combined force with Sailor Moon and her senshi, it will take everyone to fight off this beast. Fight with Valor! Worry not for Star Healer, she will be fine. Let her guide this new found Starlight to your home, where I await eagerly to help heal the wounded and protect all from harm."

"...Osmanthus?" Star Fighter thought, the air felt... calm. But why? Just as Star Fighter was about to instruct Star Healer to stand up and leave their current location to safety, the Starlight heard... no, saw something that made her freeze up.
"Yes Star Fighter... let her come home..." The voice said, in their headsets. Star Fighter lifted her hands towards her headset and autonomously answered back. "Princess... K-Kakyuu?!" she exclaimed, rather surprised to hear the voice of their Princess so soon. Without seeing her first, Star Fighter looked rathered shocked, and didn't really know what to do at first.
"I will be waiting for her arrival." Seconds later her appearance of what looked rather ghosty, an image of her hazy body appeared before the three Starlights, to only their eyes to see. "I sensed an awakening... an awakening of royal blood. I felt her cries across the stars and skies..." Their Princess said, now beginning to disappear, but her last words seemed to perplex the Starlight for a few seconds, giving her something to think on before she understood exactly who she was referring too. "Please, waste no more time. The girl... the princess needs to rest where she will be looked after and safe from harm. I will await your return after the battle."
Looking back at Kira, Star Fighter thought, knowing Kira was the only one injured "Princess? Who..." If it was words that came from their Princess's mouth, it was words the Starlight trusted with all her heart and beyond that. Fighter's eyes widened as she realized who Princess Kakyuu hinted at the three and spoke up.
"s**t...Star Healer, Maker, go! Get Kira to safety immediately!" she said with urgency in her tone, indirectly telling Star Catcher to go with them. Deep down, she knew Star Healer was most likely already aware of how urgent the situation had now become Turning to Sailor Mars, Star Fighter had to somewhat translate everything that happened in that short space of time, making her aware of what had happened. "Sailor Mars, Princess Kakyuu is waiting for us. I'm sorry, but after this battle, I have to see my Princess... there's more than one Princess that will be there... one that needs medical care." as she 'medical care', her arm raised and pointed at Kira for a few seconds then rested back on her hip, then she turned towards Mars as her voice got quieter, only for her ears to hear. "I'm sorry, I wanted to spend the night with you. Plans have changed and it's just too risky with two Princesses around in the same house, I must fulfill my duty. Please protect Sailor Moon." the serious gaze softened momentarily as she whispered, ending with a faint smile "We'll talk later, I promise."

Sailor Saturn began to heal Kira and focus on the spot Sailor Mercury instructed her to focus on with both hands. When Chibimoon had mentioned she didn't know she was a senshi. "We had our suspicions about her but it wasn't fully confirmed till tonight till her symbol appeared on her forehead while she was playing on stage." She explained to her friend. While she was healing Kira she saw a red glow out of the corner of her eye and glanced up long enough to see a new Starlight had come onto the scene. She was definitely surprised by this turn of events but right now she had to focus on Kira to get her so they could move her to a safer location. She looked down again and didn't stop her focus till Sailor Moon asked her to lower the barrier to let the new Starlight in. She looked up. "One moment Sailor Moon." She didn't like this idea but it was an order from their princess. She kept her right hand over Kira's bruised area and continued to focus on it but with her left hand she touched her hovering Silence Glaive and opened a small section in front of Sailor Star Catcher as she caught her Starlight name while healing Kira. Once Sailor Moon pulled her through she willed it to close and removed her hand from her Silence Glaive as the barrier stayed up and continued to heal Kira.
Sailor Neptune had also the feeling of being watched and not knowing if it was friend or foe put her in a highly defensive mode of the princess. She took the side next to Uranus while still keeping close eye on the youma. Once the Starlight revealed herself she still wasn't sure they could trust her especially when Sailor Moon had requested Sailor Saturn to lower the barrier and pulled the Starlight through to the others. She kept a grip on her Aqua Mirror just in case.
Once Sailor Mercury told Sailor Saturn the bones were mended enough. She nodded looked up at Sailor Mercury. "Thank you Sailor Mercury!" She lowered her right hand and her left took hold of her Silence Glaive. She placed her gloved right hand on Healer's shoulder gave her it a light reassuring squeeze. " She might be a bit sore for a bit but the worst is healed. You can move her to a safer location while we deal with the youma." She removed her gloved hand from Healer's shoulder and stood up carefully. She turned and address Sailor Star Catcher. "I have mended Kira's ribs and you both can move her to a safer location while we deal with the youma."
Sailor Neptune felt a familiar presence in the air as she looked down at her Aqua Mirror and saw a red energy like butterfly flying across it. It left her with a calm feeling and then she smelt what she thought was jasmine for a moment with some other accents. She thought to herself 'Osmanthus...' Just after the vision disappeared in her Aqua Mirror she was hit with a warm and calming energy.

"Give me as much time as you can and I will heal what I can in the time you are able to give us. . . ."
Everything else that was said thereafter was a blur. Star Healer's attention had become completely invested in Kira's well being. Gently cradling Kira in her arms. She still couldn't believe that Kira would place herself in danger for the rose she had given her earlier. No. . . not her... her alter identity, Yaten had given her during the show. She was frustrated, upset and hurt all at the sametime. Tears of frustration had streamed down her cheeks briefly. Reaching up at some point to wipe away the moisture as she watched Sailor Saturn and Sailor Mercury work on providing information about the depth of Kira's injuries and as to what they could do to repair the damage done.
Silently cursing herself, she felt that this was her fault! Star Maker had thought she was leading Kira on. But she wasn't, neither was her alter identity. She didn't know how to explain what she felt when their eyes met, when she touched her hand. Just thinking about this caused Healer to remain silent for the time being. She knew that everyone was watching, she did not care what the others may of thought. She knew that there would be a heated lecture later. She'd deal with that then, but for now, her concerns laid where Kira were laying. Hoping that she will recover, hoping that she could forgive her for not being there when Kira needed her.
Lifting up her emerald eyes, she noticed Artemis and Luna were within close range speaking to the majority then.
"That youma is after Kira, that power we felt before... that is what it is after. We need to get her away from the area. Is there any other way we can get Kira to transform? The youma... or however many there are will keep coming after her, she can't seem to control her powers for much longer, it's concerning." "Only Kira can transform, and we need her to otherwise it's not just an overflow of magic, she could... die... if she keeps holding back. Think of it like when you fill a cup with water, or even when you shake a fizzy bottle and drop it... her body can only handle so much."
Hearing Sailor Moon throw a verbal fit towards the cats' direction, but her voiced opinions weren't exactly being listened too. There was something else in the background that caused Star Healer to look skyward to see something glowing. Tilting her head a bit, to squint in order to see what she thought was on approach. Shifting slightly in how she was holding onto Kira, she lifted Kira's unconscious body closer to her (if that was possible). All eyes were now directed as the newcomer. 'Who cometh now? Friend or foe?' She thought silently to herself. Noticing movement from the background, the others by now had sensed someone intruding on their little gathering.
Luna was the first to question the newcomer, upon hearing the answer all Healer could do was stare at this darkened figure standing before them. "...Kira's friend." Once the darkness that covered the woman faded away, she couldn't help but gasp under her breath. Did I say, stare - that's a complete understatement! Hell, it was more like try hard to pay attention to where this person's green eyes were located. A redheaded intruder, that could quite literally make jaws drop with the curves of her body and cleavage.
Besides that, her attire was very similar to what they wear! Was she a copy-cat? No... not possible! Another... Starlight? Many questions flooded her mind then as she looked away from the redheaded woman and over at Star Maker and Star Fighter who were also interested in this new arrival.
The only difference Star Healer took notice of was the fact this lady's earrings were different from the... others stars located along her body. Not that, she was purposely allowing her eyes to follow every perfect curve of her figure. Healer appreciated someone who took care of themselves, and this person looked very much like she did. Down to the natural makeup, the eyeliner along her eyes, along with the impression of milky white skin that did not show any blemishes. Her body structure was athletic, strong, confident... along with a pinch of cockiness. Reminded her of someone.
"...Who are you all? Kira never mentioned she knew Sailor Senshi..." "We only just met Kira-chan, today." "I'm Sailor Moon, these are my friends, we are Kira-chan's friends." "Sailor Moon?...Friends? You mean you are Princess Serenity?" "I am.. and you're... a Starlight?" "A Zodiac Starlight, to be exact."
Wondering if she heard her correctly, she replayed what the new arrival just said, "A Zodiac Starlight, to be exact."No way!! She didn't recall Princess Kakyuu mention the possibility of other Starlights out there. Looking away from the woman and back at Kira, her mind was in a whirlwind of questions that would hopefully be answered later. 'Maybe our princess mentioned this possibility? I just.. for the life of me cannot remember.' Movement out of the corner of her eyes caused Star Healer to look back at the precise time this new person had reached forwards and touched Kira's forehead. 'What the?!' It was a reaction response in live thought, nothing said verbally at the time. Healer's expression said it all for the record. Being a silent observer, biding her time for the right opportunity to speak.
"Kira... It's Liara... I'm here for you." "W-Wait--You're Liara-chan?" "...That's my earth name, my actual name is Sailor Star Catcher... how do you--" "Li..." "It's okay, Kira, you'll be okay. I'm right here."
Star Healer had a seat... literally on the front row of where this new starlight was located at. 'Sailor Star Catcher?' She thought to herself. All Star Healer could do was return the look back at Sailor Star Catcher, knowing this woman knew was staring at her. Not disrespectfully, just in shock to find out she's a starlight like them but different?
"Liara-chan... Kira-chan is holding onto I think a rose... Chibi Moon said that was the last thing Kira spoke of but I can't seem to get to it to see if it's okay, she has such a strong grip on it...even though she isn't conscious..." "Kira, I just want to check the rose--..A yellow rose?" "....safe...?" "Yes... Kira, but you're not. Save your strength, please." "Wasn't this... one of the flowers she was given by the Three Lights...?" "Y-Yes... we were part of that group that was with Kira-chan when you called... aahh... it uhh... was one of the Three Lights that gave... that to her..." "And... the Three Lights? Kira was worried about them before she hung up." "They'refine..."
There was a great deal of conversation going on between Sailor Moon and Star Catcher then. At some point her eyes had dropped down at the mentioning of the rose. Overhearing that Star Maker stood up for her then, since she found that she couldn't speak for herself for the time being. Feeling a set of eyes resting on her, she lifted her emerald green eyes up just to catch Star Catcher looking swiftly away. Star Catcher must have seen something, then. Feeling a gloved hand applying a gentle squeeze along her shoulder, Star Healer glanced up to see Sailor Saturn standing there with a gentle smile. " She might be a bit sore for a bit but the worst is healed. You can move her to a safer location while we deal with the youma."
"Um...your earrings... is that a symbol for something?" "The other Zodiac Starlights and I were given these by Princess Nova, it's her symbol." "About Kira... we need to move her somewhere safe... I know her personally and I know where she lives... I can take her home and stay with her. I'm sorry that she has caused worry."
Star Healer lifted her eyes up to meet up with the red head's green eyes, when she mentioned that they needed to take Kira somewhere safe. She knew that Star Catcher was right, but she didn't feel like Kira would be safe at her place. She wondered what made her think like that. Not voicing her thoughts on the matter, Star Maker once again spoke up. Star Healer watched as Sailor Saturn approached Star Catcher and speak to her, "I have mended Kira's ribs and you both can move her to a safer location while we deal with the youma."
"Star Healer isn't in any condition to fight with us, for her own sake, and Kira's... let her go with you." "...That's fine... but I'll carry Kira. We can go once...Kira is safe to move." Star Healer couldn't really comprehend why she wasn't speaking up, right away. Perhaps it was because she was thinking a lot about the situation in an unhappy way.
"the Three Lights... are the Starlights... us. We transformed in front of Kira, we all did because she's a Sailor Senshi, Sailor Sagittarius... she needed not to feel alone and that she could trust us."
Out of the background, Star Healer heard movement once more, this time it was their leader. Lifting her head slightly back so that she could see Star Fighter address Star Catcher, only thereafter to turn her attention at herself.
"Healer, as Star Maker said you should go with... Star Catcher..." No snarky remarks or retorts were made by her. She merely nodded, acknowledging the orders. "Sure." Knowing that was the first word she had said in a while. It was also a short response, Star Fighter probably wanted to hear more than 'sure'. Healer produced a slight pause in her breath before replying, "Yes of course, you're right, Star Fighter." Addressing their leader before this newcomer.
Biting her tongue slightly, she looked away from Star Fighter and up over at Sailor Star Catcher who looked as though she was waiting for acknowledgement on what she had expressed with her earlier, "Apologies for me not saying anything to you right away, Sailor Star Catcher. I'm sure you have an understanding as to why I didn't say anything to you, because you are a stranger. An unknown. Some people can be trusting of strangers right away." Star Healer paused, but didn't dare share a look at any particular individuals in the group. With the senshi group surrounding Kira and Sailor Star Catcher then, this group has a history of trusting and befriending unknown individuals and the enemy. A dangerous trait to do, especially in times like these. "I can only speak for myself here, I tend to be a little more guarded and careful before addressing an unknown. So please, do not take offense at my silence."
"When you announced that you are 'Kira's friend.' Things..." Trading a slight look to the side at Sailor Star Maker and Sailor Star Fighter briefly before returning her attention to Sailor Star Catcher. "Things changed. I hope that you can understand my position, as to the reason why I acted in that manner. It's my--our duty to protect our princess, to help render aid to our friends when they are in need of assistance, to protect the innocent and to protect those we care about. By doing everything necessary to make sure no harm comes upon those who are under our watch." As well as everyone else for that matter. She was not speaking harshly with her, Star Catcher could undoubtedly still hear how guarded she was not just with her voice but body language. Sailor Star Healer spoke to Sailor Star Catcher as a warrior and protector with a mutual understanding and respect.
"I'll stay here with the Mars and the others, and I'll see you back at home." "Adding to everyoneβs concern, Kira has enormous power, everyone felt it and I'm guessing you did too...that's why you are here? That came from Kira as Luna awakened a bit of her. We're... a quite worried because the youma is targeting her and her power is not usually what a Sailor Senshi would have... we think... there is more Kira is aware of, and maybe that's why she has been resisting for whatever reason she has. I don't mean to put you on the spot but since you know her well, perhaps your voice could speak our thoughts to her? Kira needs to transform, otherwise, she will continue to suffer, she is alreadysuffering and her power is now showing to the general public. Is there a way you can get her to do that?"
"Yes... I did feel Princess Nova's presence, moments ago. It led me to here, where I saw you all with Kira. In regards to her transforming... I had my suspicions she was a Sailor Senshi... but...Kira doesn't know about me, and who I really am. I haven't transformed since Sailor Galaxia--- well besides coming to Earth... I wanted to give Kira a separate life from that. She mentioned getting headaches and I didn't think much of them until they happened more and more, without her henshin wand she can't do anything. So that's what you gave her, along with the Three Lights ticket? That was your plan?"
After speaking with Sailor Star Catcher, she observed how Artemis was speaking freely now about how Kira has enormous power. And the fact that just about everyone felt it. Star Catcher's response should have surprised her, "I did feel Princess Nova's presence, moments ago....". Kira has enormous power...Princess Nova's presence...Just a few phrases caused Healer to look directly at Kira. 'Princess Nova?' She didn't say that outloud, as she reached down with her gloved fingertips to brush some hair away from Kira's face, "Kira.." Healer said Kira's name tenderly, which would have been loud enough for Kira to hear. Tracing the outline of Kira's face in thought, wondering if she would see that symbol that everyone saw upon her forehead.
"Yes, that's correct. I thought you looked familiar when I saw you."
"I can try. Kira has been avoiding me a bit lately though, and I think it has something to do with the symbol on her forehead, she can't control her power and I think it's causing a bit of confusion. She has seen my Star Change and Headset and has asked about that before... I could have told her then but it wasn't the right time. Thinking back now, if I knew about this situation then I would have told her, we were both hiding things from each other, I am no better. Kira lives alone, I personally don't agree with that considering what has happened now. Perhaps that is the reason why she moved out... she was afraid I'd find out. I am going to have a long... very long conversation with her when she wakes up."
Just as she was about to move more into an upright sitting position, when she stopped. Sailor Star Healer thought she saw something. Looking away from Kira and the others, when she felt a familiar power on approach. Something smelled familiar. "Osmanthus?" Star Healer said out loud but the tone of her voice was hushed, as she questioned just what was being shown before her very eyes.
Mesmerized with what was being shown, what followed next was a voice they had not heard in quite some time.
"Yes Star Fighter... let her come home...I will be waiting for her arrival." "Princess... K-Kakyuu?!"
Their Princess Kakyuu was speaking to them in their headsets! And they could see her! Or rather a ghostly appearance of their princess.
"I sensed an awakening... an awakening of royal blood. I felt her cries across the stars and skies...Please, waste no more time. The girl... the princess needs to rest where she will be looked after and safe from harm. I will await your return after the battle."
"An... an awakening?" Healer's jaw fell slack in shock. Artemis' pointing out that Kira has an enormous amount of power and Sailor Star Catcher stating she had felt Princess Nova's presence moments ago. Reaching up to cup her gloved hand over her mouth as a few tears dropped in realization and surprise. Healer had been drawn to Kira in a mystical manner when she first laid eyes on her. She felt drawn to her, every small moment that she shared with her. Star Maker figured it was just the moment of being close to an idol putting on an act to string a fan along. But no, it was something more, something deeper than words could describe.
"Princess? Who...?"?
"Star Fighter and Star Maker, do not let this youma underestimate you. As a combined force with Sailor Moon and her senshi, it will take everyone to fight off this beast. Fight with Valor! Worry not for Star Healer, she will be fine. Let her guide this new found Starlight to your home, where I await eagerly to help heal the wounded and protect all from harm."
"s**t...Star Healer, Maker, go! Get Kira to safety immediately!"
An outburst of urgency expelled forth from their leader then! Star Healer turned her head sharply away from their Princess and at Star Fighter. Perhaps it was the shock of hearing the urgency in Star Fighter's voice that took her a moment to react! A quizzical expression was evident but soon realized that there was a need for speed.
Knowing that time was of the essence, she whispered into Kira's ear briefly, "Kira.. I know that you're comfortable but I have to move you for your safety and well being for now. I promise that I won't be far. I'm handing you over to Liara." Knowing that Star Catcher had requested to carry Kira once she had been healed. Being mindful of Kira's well being, an adrenaline rush allowed Star Healer to lift Kira up and carefully handed her over to Sailor Star Catcher. Sure, Star Healer was considered, 'under tall' since she was the shortest one of the group. She still had strength.
It felt weird by addressing Sailor Star Catcher as her Earth name, "Liara, I know what you told me and the others earlier. About taking Kira to her house. Please, Liara, you have to trust me. Trust us, to follow me to our house. I can explain more when we get there. We have to leave now.... Together!" She was serious! Not upset, nor angry at Star Catcher. She was honest to God, pleading with her then! Pleading with Star Catcher trust her and their judgement for her to follow Star Healer's lead to their residence, to where their princess was waiting for them. Hoping that she had convinced Star Catcher to follow and for her to realize the message was truthful. Knowing that Sailor Star Maker was ready to jump at light speed with them. Waiting for Sailor Star Catcher to agree and respond as they would all jump instantly, to get Kira to safety. After all, she was following orders.
"Apologies for me not saying anything to you right away, Sailor Star Catcher. I'm sure you have an understanding as to why I didn't say anything to you, because you are a stranger. An unknown. Some people can be trusting of strangers right away." Star Healer paused but didn't dare share a look at any particular individuals in the group. With the Senshi group surrounding Kira and Sailor Star Catcher then, this group has a history of trusting and befriending unknown individuals and the enemy. A dangerous trait to do, especially in times like these. "I can only speak for myself here, I tend to be a little more guarded and careful before addressing an unknown. So please, do not take offense at my silence."
Finally after a long period of time, the silver-haired Starlight spoke up to Star Catcher, who nodded. She understood why Star Healer was careful with her, a newcomerin their eyes. "It's understandable...I'm glad you are cautious, you have your guard up, thank you for protecting Kira." Her emerald green eyes met with Star Healer's emerald green eyes, holding that for a few seconds. Knowing that Star Healer was protecting Kira, even from her friend, Liara of all people. Healer seemed to relax a bit, letting the new Starlight in.

By doing everything necessary to make sure no harm comes upon those who are under our watch."
All Star Catcher did was nod a few times agreeing with what Star Healer was saying. She didn't hold anything against Star Healer and how she and the others felt.
There was chatter between herself, Star Fighter, Star Healer, and the two cats. Until an unknown presence felt somewhat familiar to the Starlight who picked up on the familiar fragrance that seemed to surround her for a few seconds. "Osmanthus...?" She seemed to think that at the same time, Star Healer spoke it, however, there was no figure even though she was a Starlight herself.
Quote:
"Princess? Who...?"
Star Maker, Star Healer, and Star Fighter all seemed a bit distracted, and panic suddenly urged in Fighter's voice.
Quote:
"s**t...Star Healer, Maker, go! Get Kira to safety immediately!"
"What's... going on?" Star Catcher asked, looking at Star Healer, but was answered by Star Maker. "....Our Princess, she is at our residence waiting for us, we'll explain when we get there. Please come with us"
Quote:
"Kira.. I know that you're comfortable but I have to move you for your safety and well being for now. I promise that I won't be far. I'm handing you over to Liara."
Hearing Star Healer say that, and the way she held Kira so closely gave away how much Kira meant to Star Healer, like she was holding onto her lover for the last time, but it wasn't the last time. "So it really is you... you loveher..." Star Catcher narrowed her eyes as she whispered that sentence. Giving Kira's phone to Star Healer to hold onto... and then the rose that was still resting on her chest. Liara took Kira, it almost felt wrong to take hold of her from Healer's grasp. Threading one of her arms underneath Kira's legs and the other to support her back as she cradled her, and slowly stood up, Liara gazed at Kira while thinking to herself. "As a Starlight, Kira, I can feel how strong you are... not only in yourself but towards the person you love."
Quote:
"Liara, I know what you told me and the others earlier. About taking Kira to her house. Please, Liara, you have to trust me. Trust us"
Hesitating, Liara wanted Kira to wake up in a familiar environment, but knowing their Princess was there and the connection Star Healer and Kira had, she didn't want to separate anyone, she understood Star Healer's duty, to be with her Princess but also wanting to have Kira close to her too. "Yes, of course. Please lead the way." Taking a step back, waiting for Star Healer to make the first move and jump into the air, Star Maker followed as she also did the same and jumped. Turning to face Sailor Moon first, Liara spoke up. "Thank you, Princess, everyone." She then jumped into the air like a shooting star. The sky was dark but three shooting stars appeared above them at the speed of light, they were gone.
Sailor Moon wanted to speak but Star Catcher was gone before she got a chance, looking up, Sailor Moon watched the shooting stars disappear before turning to face the group, the look of determination glimmered in her eyes.
"Everyone! Let's defeat the youma in a group attack!" she commanded, resummoning her Eternal Tiare staff in her hands. It wasn't going to take much to defeat the youma since Kira was no longer there, it seemed to be gaining energy from the sleeping Princess the majority of the time Kira was resting there.

Watching both Star Healer and Star Maker leave, her eyes shifted to Star Catcher who thanked them for looking after Kira. After she disappeared into the sky, Fighter seemed a bit on edge, not being with the Starlights felt a bit weird, not leaving with them, together. Turning to face Sailor Moon, the look in her eyes twinkled as she wanted to finish the youma and continue living her normal life with Mamoru.
"Everyone! Let's defeat the youma in a group attack!"
Giving a nod, Star Fighter turned towards where the youma was and jumped into mid-air to get closer to it. Raising a hand into mid-air, she didn't hold back and chanted her attack.
"Star... Serious Laser!"
A beam of light emitted from her the palm of her hand, aiming the attack directly at the youma.
Watching in the distance, Sailor Uranus looked back at Sailor Saturn and gave a brief smile "Well done, Sailor Saturn, you too Mercury." Looking back at the youma, Sailor Uranus commented "We better follow her..." Jumping into mid-air after Sailor Star Fighter, Uranus got close enough to launch her attack as well.
"Space... Turbulence!"
Eternal Sailor Uranus seemingly warps the space around her hands releasing a series of powerful waves of electromagnetic energy, striking the youma. Landing next to Star Fighter, she spoke up "The youma doesn't seem to like this one bit, it shouldn't take too long to defeat it." Looking at Star Fighter, she seemed a bit distracted still, her body language made it obvious Star Fighter was about to attack again, upon hearing that statement.
Artemis looked at Luna, and Diana "We should take some cover, and wait until it's over, Luna, Diana, let's go!" he said, galloping away from the group to take cover while the explosions from their attacks were happening.
Together with Eternal Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, Sailor Chibi-Moon, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn; They all attacked together one last time to defeat the youma, blowing it into smithereens.
Strange it was easy enough done, the sparkles of energy dust in the air of began to enter into the bodies of the humans who were lying on the ground unconscious. Star Fighter turned to face Sailor Moon, looking at her for a moment before noticing the people of earth started to wake up. Touching her headset lightly, unknown to Fighter, Princess Kakyuu was in the process of healing Kira at this very moment, Star Fighter's voice entered into the other Starlights headsets. "The youma has been defeated, I'll be there soon." Letting the other two know. Hopefully, Kira will also start to wake up too.
The Starlight then rested her hands by her sides and spoke to the group. "I should get going... Princess Kakyuu is at our residence." Pausing, she then continued, looking into Sailor Mars' deep amethyst eyes. "People are waking up, we all should retreat home... it's late enough."
Taking a few steps closer to Sailor Mars, Star Fighter held out her hand gently towards her and smiled, softening her expression. "...But most importantly...let me take you home first, Princess Mars." she addressed the fiery Eternal Sailor Senshi.
Star Fighter gazed at her, waiting for an answer. It had been a long day for everyone, and the least Star Fighter could do, especially with Rei was take her home. They had been at the concert even before the guests had arrived, setting up. Sailor Mars was most likely tired, which is why Star Fighter offered her light-speed flight to help get Sailor Mars home safely would hopefully help her.
"Mamo-chan...?" Tuxedo Mask's features lightened slightly when he heard Sailor Moon call him by his name. Blinking a few times he turned his head away from keeping watch to notice Sailor Moon was pulling him to the side. He followed without hesitation, sensing she needed to speak with him. "I... don't know for sure... but... when I was with Kira-chan before she ran down the corridor, I was able to grab onto her hand and..." Watching how she looked away and towards Kira before glancing back with concern along her features.
"I didn't see the Sagittarius symbol that time...but...a different symbol on her forehead... one that looks like Star Catcher's earrings. Kira-chan told me to 'stay away' from her but she looked scared, that was the last thing she said to me when we were alone... I don't think that was Kira-chan speaking, it felt like it was someone else. When I asked Star Catcher about her earrings just before... she told me they were the symbol of her Princess, who is Princess Nova, if you walk close to Liara-chan, you can see them."
"Felt like someone else?" Looking away from Sailor Moon and over at Kira then. Listening to everything she described. His royal blue eyes moved away from Kira and over at Sailor Star Catcher, catching a glimpse at the woman's earrings. Upon closer inspection of the star earrings, he spoke up to where Usagi could hear him. "If you take a closer look at Sailor Star Catcher's earrings, Usako, they look like the brightest star in the sky. Meaning the North Star. Or Polaris, it's located in the constellation of Ursa Minor, also known as the Little Dipper. You can easily identify the star because it is one of the brightest stars in the night sky." Mamoru stopped a moment in thought, while looking at Sailor Star Catcher's earrings. He appeared to be somewhere else for a brief amount of time.
'The North Star has been used for navigation for thousands of years.' He was about to continue and say that the star can be seen anywhere, when he noticed that Usagi placed her gloved hands a top of her broach which caused him to move closer to her. Usagi wasn't one to do this often, his heart ached as he had his full attention on her.
"I can't... help but feel a deeper connection with Kira-chan... something I don't think the others can understand. Mamo-chan, I really need her to wake up, there are so many questions I want to ask her too. Do you think the Legendary Silver Crystal can help her?"
"If Kira won't transform... I do believe the Legendary Silver Crystal will help her. Be wary though.. my love. When Luna performed the Lunar Mind Meld, I think she underestimated what she was doing when she awakened Kira's memories. As Artemis stated, Kira has an enormous amount of power especially for a sailor senshi." Tuxedo Mask nodded his head slowly, as he move closer to where Eternal Sailor Moon stood and placed his gloved hands gently along her shoulders as he looked at her with such love and admiration. Mamoru could see how passionate Usako was in wanting to help her friend Kira-chan out. That was one of the many traits he loved about Usagi. How she would do anything to help her friends. "I think Kira's powers are on a similar scale to your own. Thus I can see why you say that you relate...how you feel that you have a deeper connection with Kira more so than with the others, Usako." Providing a warm smile towards his princess, the woman he loves and adored with all his heart. Allowing his hands to move away from her shoulders and move down to where his hands lightly covered Usagi's own gloved hands. "Usako, you know that I have and will always support you with whatever decision you make."
Gazing into Usagi's eyes, knowing that in his heart, Usako would make the right decision and move forward and do what she believes would be beneficial towards her friend, Kira Kyudo.
Holding onto that moment between them until he heard distress in Sailor Star Fighter's voice, "Princess... K-Kakyuu?!" which caused Tuxedo Mask to turn his line of sight over towards the Three Starlights for all of them appeared to be locked in a state of shock. Not knowing what they were looking at, he positioned himself before Eternal Sailor Moon as a human shield protecting her at all costs.
"s**t...Star Healer, Maker, go! Get Kira to safety immediately!"
Whatever had transpired, the situation had become dire, which prompted Star Fighter make a demand of urgency for Star Healer, Star Maker and Star Catcher to make haste from the premises be on their way with Kira to a safer location.
"What's... going on?" "....Our Princess, she is at our residence waiting for us, we'll explain when we get there. Please come with us" "Liara, I know what you told me and the others earlier. About taking Kira to her house. Please, Liara, you have to trust me. Trust us." "Yes, of course. Please lead the way."
Watching as how Sailor Star Healer carefully handed the unconscious Kira over to Sailor Star Catcher, he could tell that there was a good deal of conversation taking place before two of the Starlights shot up into the air with the new Starlight. Not before the new Starlight, turned to face Sailor Moon and say the following, "Thank you, Princess, everyone." After that, Sailor Star Catcher took to flight, leaping up into the sky faster than the eye could see. Once the small gathering departed the area, Sailor Moon turned and addressed all that remained.
"Everyone! Let's defeat the youma in a group attack!"
It was time to end this! Providing a nod in unison with just about everyone in agreement to destroy the youma! Trading hands with his cane in his right hand, Tuxedo Mask moved closer towards the youma calling out in his attack!
"Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber!"
Sending a blast of of white energy at his target that fired from his left hand. A power that was not to be used lightly, for it would potentially fatally damage his intended target, the youma that threatened Kira's life along with everyone else in the vicinity.
Seeing everyone's powers merging together to defeat the youma was a sight to see. The radiating energy that rose from everyone was extremely powerful when unified. A power such as this could gain the interest of certain parties who might be interested in investing this kind of power.

Eternal Sailor Saturn moved to a slightly different angle and yelled "Silence Glaive Surprise!" As she crossed her arms with her Silence Glaive in her right hand as the wind blow her hair and fuku powerfully.
Eternal Sailor Neptune summoned her violin and yelled "Submarine Violon Tide!" As teal music notes appeared around her in a circular motion. As she blasted the youma with a energy blast from her violin.
After the battle was over and the people's energy started to return them. Sailor Saturn nodded in agreement to Star Fighter's comment as she walked closer to the group. "We should get home but we should come together. We will be in touch." She turned to Sailor Chibimoon. "Sailor Chibimoon would you stay with us if it's ok with your parents?" She said with a smile at her best friend.

"North Star?" Sailor Moon repeated, looking back at Star Catcher.

When Luna performed the Lunar Mind Meld, I think she underestimated what she was doing when she awakened Kira's memories. As Artemis stated, Kira has an enormous amount of power, especially for a sailor senshi."
Thinking back to that time, remembering how the whole room lit up with white light that surrounded Kira's body and the burst of energy that was felt as the whole room shook underneath them. Luna very much underestimated that situation completely, and it would have been a safer option to let Kira do it herself, that is if she was willingly going to.
Sailor Moon wasn't sure how she was going to help Kira, she was still debating how she was going to get close to her again after being warned off. Thinking back to a comment, Kira mentioned she had archery tomorrow and was going to go. "Surely... she isn't going to go with her injuries..." Sailor Moon frowned, she had this gut feeling Kira would most likely go. Kira had such a strong will to do things on her own, that even Star Catcher would struggle at times.
Quote:
"Usako, you know that I have and will always support you with whatever decision you make."
"Thank you, Mamo-chan. I think tomorrow I will go and visit her." she said, slipping one of her hands out from underneath Mamoru's and placing it on top of his, giving his hand a light squeeze, and faintly smiling towards him.
All Sailor Jupiter and Venus did was watch how this unfolded, and like the Outer Senshi, they stood aside but listened to the conversation until Star Catcher was about to leave after the other two Starlights departed. The Starlight said her thanks and left, leaving the rest to take care of the other BIG issue, the youma.
Quote:
"We should take some cover, and wait until it's over, Luna, Diana, let's go!"
Both cats gave Artemis a nod and ran alongside him to safety, but still in sight.
Letting go of Tuxedo Mask, she turned to the majority of the group. "Everyone! Let's defeat the youma in a group attack!"
Jumping after Star Fighter, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Saturn, Sailor Neptune, and Tuxedo Mask towards the youma, Sailor Moon swung her Eternal Tiare and aimed it at the youma. Chibi Moon was still sitting on the ground from when she covered for Kira, and stood up, brushing herself off. Turning to Sailor Mars and spoke to her. "Sailor Mars, are you ready?" While she did this, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus took off after Sailor Moon along with Sailor Mars and Chibi Moon.
With everyone attacking all at the same time, it might have been a bit overkill, the youma was very weak now so half of them would have been able to defeat it, then again maybe everyone needed an outlet or some sort of revenge on behalf of Kira, and the concert ending so suddenly.
Landing on the ground, Sailor Moon watched the youma disappear, and the energy that was stolen was now returned to the people on Earth. Turning around, Star Fighter had just finished telling over her headset that the youma was defeated.
Quote:
"I should get going... Princess Kakyuu is at our residence."
Chibi Moon stood there as she listened to what was going on, but was distracted when Sailor Saturn approached her, asking her a question.
Quote:
"Sailor Chibi Moon would you stay with us if it's ok with your parents?"
The pink-haired girl smiled and glanced at Tuxedo Mask first, then Sailor Moon, then back to Saturn again hoping for an answer. "Yes, of course, thank you for offering Sailor Saturn." Sailor Moon answered, that it was quite good that Chibi Moon was able to go to another house for the night, Sailor Moon had been replaying some things in her mind over and over, thinking about Kira really seemed to bother her, and perhaps looking after Chibi Moon on such short notice of her arrival gave her time to plan things in their house with Mamoru. Chibi Moon beamed a smile towards her friend, she was excited to spend the night at the Outers.
"Yay! We should get going then? I'm quite tired already from the time traveling. Oh wow! it's past eleven!" she said to Saturn, then looked back at Sailor Moon and frowned, the concerned look that was displayed on Chibi Moon's face was quite obvious, she could sense her 'mothers' worry for Kira.
Star Fighter turned her attention towards Sailor Mars now, while Sailor Moon glanced up at Tuxedo Mask. "J-Just a moment, Mamo-chan..." she excused herself from everyone to approach Star Fighter and Sailor Mars, interrupting their conversation. "Sorry to interruptβ¦Star Fighter, when Kira-chan wakes up, please let me know she is okay?" There was more emotion to her words, asking something like this from Star Fighter as her last conversation with Kira was rather... different. Even if it was a simple text message, just something to let her know Kira has woken up. "I... will go and see her tomorrow. There's just something on my mind I need to talk to her about..." Once again, Sailor Moon put her hands on her brooch like she did when she was with Tuxedo Mask. "Something I think only I can talk to her about..." she whispered, then spoke up again.
"Please, let me know, Star Fighter."
Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus had landed and stood nearby, and happened to glance at each other. Sailor Venus frowned and spoke quietly to Jupiter. "Her actions before spoke loudly... louder than what was said to me, back then." "Hm? What was that?" Sailor Jupiter asked, wondering what Venus was referring to. "Nothing, never mind." Obviously it wasn't just 'nothing' but what bothered her was Star Healer, and how she held onto Kira, and moments before they all transformed, Yaten told Minako they weren't interested. Watching how everything unfold hurt Sailor Venus, but she knew deep down this battle of love was lost. "Senshi of Love huh?... what a joke." Sailor Venus thought to herself, her heart sunk into her chest as she accepted things weren't meant to be.

Everything happened so fast after Kira was healed by Sailor Saturn. Moving to take a stand once more, Sailor Mercury was satisfied with the readings she was receiving on her hand held supercomputer. "Nicely done, Saturn." Said on a cheery note. Reaching up to tap her visor away, just as she was in the process of doing so, she could hear the alarm coming forth from the three Starlights. Readjusting her visor to tune in on whatever was going on between them.
"s**t...Star Healer, Maker, go! Get Kira to safety immediately!"
It was hard to hear due to her distance from that small circle of starlights. All she knew was something must had happened which caused Sailor Star Maker, Sailor Star Healer and Sailor Star Catcher to depart in haste with Kira. Watching those different starlights taking to flight becoming stars alone high in the sky, the following activity caused Sailor Mercury to go full on battle mode.
"Everyone! Let's defeat the youma in a group attack!"
There was no form of hesitation from Sailor Mercury after hearing their princess asking them to attack the youma! Calling upon her water-based attack, that engulfs her opponent in a circular pool of water that will burst and destroy the enemy.
"Mercury Aqua Mirage!"
Sailor Pluto's garnet orb began to pulsate with power, as she too began the assault on the youma to their princess's orders. Not too soon after Sailor Mercury threw her attack at the youma, the sound of Sailor Pluto adding her attack followed in sync behind Sailor Mercury's assault.
"Pluto Chronos Typhoon!"
Casting out an a air-based attack, which created a tornado that traveled diagonally towards the youma, striking both high and low along the youma before them.
When Star Fighter had been addressing Star Catcher, Sailor Mars had noticed just prior to conversation, Star Fighter had found something lying on the ground. Upon closer inspection she realized that it must have been Kira's phone. Watching Star Fighter placed the cell phone down along where Kira's hands were resting.
Hearing everything discussed just by about everyone presently surrounding Kira, Sailor Mars couldn't help but shake an odd feeling. Looking away from the others, obviously distracted by something heading their way.
"I'll stay here with the Mars and the others, and I'll see you back at home." Sailor Mars' facial expression was that of appreciation towards Star Fighter. There it was again!"Smells like... like... Osmanthus fragrans.." Her violet eyes shifted to the side, only to close instantly to what she could only describe as a psionic feeling of another presence passing by.
Feeling this presence move towards their friends, the starlights. What happened next, caught Star Fighter by surprise first before the others apparently.
"Princess... K-Kakyuu?!" There was confusion at first when she heard Star Fighter possibly repeat a question out loud. Whether she meant to do that on purpose or not. Like voicing a person's thoughts to clarify whatever was asked. "Princess? Who..." Sailor Mars had an idea as to whom was speaking with them, but would refrain from saying anything now until much later.
"s**t...Star Healer, Maker, go! Get Kira to safety immediately!" The immediate outburst of urgency could be heard by all. Shifting her gaze over at Star Fighter who uttered out hasty orders towards Star Healer and Star Maker to transport Kira to a safe haven away from the battle.
"Sailor Mars, Princess Kakyuu is waiting for us. I'm sorry, but after this battle, I have to see my Princess... there's more than one Princess that will be there... one that needs medical care."So... she was right in sensing Princess Kakyuu's presence. That woman had a mysterious manner in communicating with people. Following Star Fighter's gesturing reference towards the one who requires 'medical care', meaning Kira. Wait! She said that there's two--!
Sailor Mars' eyes slightly dilated in response to what she was just told but didn't make a verbal response on purpose to what was being pointed out. Noticing Star Fighter's voice got quieter as it was apparent what was being said was for her ears only then, "I'm sorry, I wanted to spend the night with you. Plans have changed and it's just too risky with two Princesses around in the same house, I must fulfill my duty. Please protect Sailor Moon."
Responding to Star Fighter with her voice just as quiet as she replied with the nodding of her head, "Of course, I understand, no need to worry. If you need anything I'm a phone call away." A soft smile appeared to the 'I wanted to spend the night with you.' comment. "Rain cheque?" Nodding her head in agreement, that duty came first, protecting their princesses was alwaysfirst priority.
"We'll talk later, I promise." Sailor Mars kept her smile present towards Star Fighter, "I'll hold you to it."
After Star Fighter and Sailor Mars had a shared a short chat, in the background, movement from Star Healer, Star Maker and Star Catcher had been in the process of gathering up Kira and jumping at the speed of light to safety. Everyone must have watched the trio skyrocket up into the vastness of space. Making sure that they were gone and hopefully safe. Tension was high in the air, for their job wasn't completed yet. And the cue of the battle was about to commence, following orders from their princess, Eternal Sailor Moon!
"Everyone! Let's defeat the youma in a group attack!"
Nodding her head, she watched as Star Fighter did the same. Time to end this! Watching how everyone, one by one began their assault against the youma. Sailor Mars was slightly taken aback when she heard, Chibi Moon make a comment towards her. "Sailor Mars, are you ready?" Her look of surprise vanished as she provided a confident response, "Right beside you, Chibi Moon!" Smiling at her, as she moved with a purpose along side Chibi Moon, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus and Sailor Moon, to attack the youma.
"MARS SNAKE FIRE!"
Sailor Mars summoned fire as the fire surrounded itself around her, causing Sailor Mars to absorb power of fire into her hand. To where she cast the fire out towards her enemy, as the fire soared through the air it began to take the shape of a snake. When it made impact with the youma it looked as though it bit through the beast, engulfing the youma in a heap of flames.
The youma was obviously overwhelmed with the heavy onslaught of attacks from every sailor senshi present. While everyone was admiring some peace of mind now that the youma was destroyed, Kira was safe for the time being. Questions remained that were unanswered. Sailor Mars turned to see that Star Fighter was talking into her headset, undoubtedly to Star Maker and Star Healer, "The youma has been defeated, I'll be there soon."
It seemed the beast was finally defeated, as all that remained was a sprinkling of sparkling ash that hovered in the air. Those sprinkles that sparkled in the air appeared to sink back down into the unconscious people lying along the ground. "I should get going... Princess Kakyuu is at our residence." Looking away from the unconscious people who appeared to stir slightly, when she heard Star Fighter make an announcement of departure. "People are waking up, we all should retreat home... it's late enough."
Lightly biting upon her lower lip in thought, Sailor Mars realized that Sailor Moon would be leaving with Tuxedo Mask and quite possibly with Chibi Moon, along with the Outers hooking up to head back home. And what about the Inners? Would they be heading home after a long day... or? Either way, she knew that she had duties to attend to back at the shrine. Not that bothered her, she was used to everyone going their separate ways after a battle. This time... things felt different.
Sailor Mars started to say something, when she saw out of the corner of her eyes, Star Fighter approach her with her hand extended out towards her. "...But most importantly...let me take you home first, Princess Mars." Looking up meeting eye to eye with Star Fighter, she noticed the softened expression and smile as she awaited an answer. A light shade of pink appeared along her cheeks, as she held onto a momentary gaze with Star Fighter. Her heart beat a little faster than before. Extending out her own hand to take up Star Fighter's hand offered to her, "Thank you, Star Fighter."
She was extremely glad that someone offered to escort her home. The weight of the day filled with wondrous joy, and excitement for being able to attend the concert, to be given a chance to sing a duet with Seiya was the highlight of her day (so was singing with Taiki and Yaten - when she was drawn back out on the stage for another song.) A day that Rei would never forget, a time that's been imprinted in her memories for all time. Along with everything else that happened, during the concert and afterwards. She didn't realize how tired she was. The gravity of the exhausted sensation could be felt when their hands synced together. She did her best to remain strong before her friends.
Sailor Mars didn't know how long she had kept that eye contact with Star Fighter. When she suddenly felt movement to the side and noticed Sailor Moon interrupt them for a moment. "Sorry to interruptβ¦Star Fighter, when Kira-chan wakes up, please let me know she is okay?" Turning her head slightly to the side, she fell silent to hear what message Sailor Moon was relaying to Star Fighter then.
"I... will go and see her tomorrow. There's just something on my mind I need to talk to her about..." The mannerism as to how Sailor Moon was speaking towards Star Fighter then made her feel as though she was an unwelcome guest, as if she was invading by listening in on the conversation. That this was a weighted topic, Sailor Mars felt like she needed to step back and let the two of them talk among one another.
As Sailor Moon covered her brooch with her hands, Sailor Mars felt an electric pinch from within. Anytime Sailor Moon gestured towards her brooch was something to cause alarm. Just what caused her to do that? Certainly there was a reason? Barely hearing everything that was being mentioned in a whisper. Only, to hear every other word that she managed to translate, Sailor Mars got a feeling that there was something on her friends' mind.
"Please, let me know, Star Fighter." When others may of disregarded Sailor Moon's simple gesture of protecting her brooch. The action itself, made several questions arise within Sailor Mars' thoughts. Not meaning to narrow her eyes, she was just merely thinking as to what little she heard being discussed between Star Fighter and Sailor Moon then. Knowing that one of them would have noticed that she appeared distant with her expression. Sailor Mars took a moment to recollect herself by lightening up her facial appearance, which may of seemed annoyed for the interruption, which was not the case. She was concerned. So much had gone on today. They had found another sailor senshi! Coincidence? Or was this planned all along? And... Sailor Star Catcher? Another Starlight? Releasing her breath softly. It was what Star Fighter had said earlier, "Sailor Mars, Princess Kakyuu is waiting for us. I'm sorry, but after this battle, I have to see my Princess... there's more than one Princess that will be there... one that needs medical care." Every piece of the puzzle was seeming to be coming together and making sense now. Especially with what was discussed just then between Sailor Moon and Star Fighter.

"Thank you, Star Fighter." Sailor Mars replied, taking hold of Star Fighter's extended hand. Gazing into those amethyst eyes, her mind wandered a bit until the two were approached by Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon was quite distinguished out of the whole group due to her large wings, seeing her get closer in her peripheral vision made Fighter turn her body slightly to see Sailor Moon better, as she did this, Star Fighter let go of the Fire Princess's hand. "Sorry to interruptβ¦Star Fighter, when Kira-chan wakes up, please let me know she is okay?"
The way Sailor Moon acted and how she portrayed herself at that moment made Star Fighter realize she was distraught. "I... will go and see her tomorrow. There's just something on my mind I need to talk to her about..." Understanding what she was referring to, Star Fighter knew. Hearing the next part, Sailor Moon was very quiet as if she were only talking to herself, but she was loud enough. "Something I think only I can talk to her about..." The winged Senshi spoke up again, pleading for Star Fighter to contact her. "Please, let me know, Star Fighter."
The Starlight gazed at Sailor Moon for a few seconds longer before she answered. "..Everything will be alright. Princess Kakyuu is with Kira, you don't need to worry, Sailor Moon." She paused, then continued "I'll let you know when I see her awake, you have my word. I'm going to take Sailor Mars back home, then I will go and see Princess Kakyuu, and Kira." Giving Sailor Moon a faint smile, she held that gaze for a few moments then looked back, towards Sailor Mars again and threaded her free arm around Rei's waist. "Hold on to me." Star Fighter whispered, her grip tightened for a second as she lifted both herself and Sailor Mars off the ground. Sailor Mars would feel her heels lift off the ground and at speed light, her hair blowing behind her, with a blink of an eye, like a shooting star, she was at the Hikawa Shrine entrance with Star Fighter, still holding her in that exact position.
"Thank you, Mamo-chan. I think tomorrow I will go and visit her." Tuxedo Mask shared a small moment with Sailor Moon before the battle commenced. Once everyone had combined their powers to annihilate the youma, there seemed to be a time where everyone could breathe and relax for a spell.
The scenery before all of them shifted as the energy released from the defeated youma returned back down along all the drained bodies that slowly started to come to. Tuxedo Mask watched when Sailor Moon had returned back to the ground level seeming to notice her attention had been drawn towards Sailor Star Fighter whom was presently addressing an issue on her headset.
"I should get going... Princess Kakyuu is at our residence." The Prince of Earth understood the gravity of responsibility when it came to protecting royalty. Turning slightly to where he stood within line of view of Sailor Moon and Sailor Star Fighter. His royal blue eyes shifted from Sailor Moon for a moment before shifting over towards Star Fighter, providing her a nodding of his head, "If you require assistance, know that we will offer aid Star Fighter." Tuxedo Mask was well aware that the Starlights could handle anything thrown at them. Still, the offer stands that they would respond to a call, if help was needed.
"Sailor Chibi Moon would you stay with us if it's ok with your parents?"
Upon hearing Sailor Saturn speak towards Chibi Moon, Tuxedo Mask turned his attention over at the two of them. Sensing almost instantly the glowing smile towards Chibi Moon as she cast a gaze in their direction. An approving nod and a smile in return from both Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon, Sailor Saturn received an answer as well as Chibi Moon.
"Yes, of course, thank you for offering Sailor Saturn."
Watching how Chibi Moon got all excited at the permission being granted, Tuxedo Mask couldn't help but smile at how Chibi Moon acted around her friend, Sailor Saturn.
"Yay! We should get going then? I'm quite tired already from the time traveling. Oh wow! it's past eleven!"
The bubbly energy emitting off of Chibi Moon was almost contagious. However, Tuxedo Mask couldn't help but feel that something was on Sailor Moon's mind as her expression changed. In the background Chibi Moon and Sailor Saturn started to walk together and became a hazy color of bright pink and dark purple as their silhouettes, became darkened figures in the night's light.
Noticing Sailor Moon's demeanor completely shifting to something else, he approached her and reached out a gloved hand to settle upon her shoulder. "Usako?" He questioned in concern for his love. "J-Just a moment, Mamo-chan..." Watching Sailor Moon excuse herself from not just him but the other Sailor Senshi that were standing nearby.
Sailor Mercury was the first to walk up towards Tuxedo Mask, "Is Sailor Moon alright, Tuxedo Mask?" Sailor Mercury had reached up and tapped alongside her brow as as her visor vanished from view, trading a concerned expression towards the Prince of Earth who had his eyes upon where Sailor Moon had trailed off too. "Something seems to be bothering her." Looking to where Sailor Moon was heading, she wondered what exactly was on her mind.
At the sametime, the sound of both Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter landed nearby, which caused Sailor Mercury to look away from the gathering to see Sailor Venus appearing to be in a state of distress as well.
"Her actions before spoke loudly... louder than what was said to me, back then."
"Hm? What was that?" "Nothing, never mind."
Sailor Mercury couldn't help but notice tension among several people in their small gathering circle. Something was going on with Sailor Moon and now Sailor Venus.
Mercury like the rest of them watched as Sailor Moon approached where Sailor Mars and Sailor Star Fighter had been standing and conversing among one another. They were all too far away to hear what was being discussed then.
"Indeed, something is going on, Sailor Mercury." Finally responding to Mercury's observations. His eyes shifted from Sailor Moon, Star Fighter and Sailor Mars briefly to see how sad.. and quite possibly Sailor Venus appearing depressed? As she approached the gathering. It wasn't like Sailor Venus to appear defeated after a battle. He wondered what had transpired to cause the senshi to act like this. Trading a glance over at Sailor Jupiter whom appeared confused as to what Venus was speaking of. Venus had a similar expression to what his princess had. Surely there was a connection? At least to a certain degree?
He continued so that he did not appear to be rude and lost to his thoughts, "I think that everyone is strung out and exhausted from the day. Among other... things. Perhaps everyone will feel much better once we've all gotten a good night's rest. Give ourselves some alone time... in order to restore and re-energize our inner chi. By thinking on the day's events. As well as what's in store for the following day to come." Not really knowing how they others would respond to that. Tuxedo Mask believed that the inner and outer senshi had been drained, just like the innocent concert goers when the youma zapped their energy wells. Recollecting themselves for the night would be beneficial to all present. "I have a feeling that some plan on attending Kira's archery event tomorrow to help support and cheer her on. In all honestly, I would like to think, after everything Kira went through, that she would sit this archery event out. However, my gut tells me that she won't sit idle on the sidelines for long, that she will be there with bells on. And so will her friends."
Looking away from Sailor Mercury and over towards Sailor Moon, who appeared to be wrapping up the conversation she was having with Sailor Star Fighter.

The battle had been won! Watching the civilians that had once been laying scattered among the ground began to stir and arise once more with expressions of confusion.
"People are waking up, we all should retreat home... it's late enough."
Sailor Pluto agreed with Star Fighter's remark. It would not be wise for the community as a whole to see their saviors, which they would question their involvement in all that occured.
"I agree, we must depart the area for a time and if at all necessary, we can return later to scan the perimeter for information and possibly perform some discovery." Sailor Pluto thought that perhaps she spoke to far in depth then, scientifically speaking on what they may find.
Looking towards Sailor Saturn as she spoke, "We should get home but we should come together. We will be in touch." Nodding towards her fellow senshi, she looked away from her momentarily and found her gaze drawn off into the distance to where the remains of the scorched youma was destroyed.
"Sailor Chibimoon would you stay with us if it's ok with your parents?" "Yes, of course, thank you for offering Sailor Saturn." "Yay! We should get going then? I'm quite tired already from the time traveling. Oh wow! it's past eleven!"
Sailor Pluto started to say something else when she turned see Sailor Saturn discussing a spending-the-night-over at their house with Sailor Chibi Moon which caused her to pause briefly and smile. Her thoughts drifted somewhat, until she noticed a form of distress emitting off of Sailor Moon. Turning her full attention towards their princess she noticed how she walked past Tuxedo Mask and over towards where Sailor Mars and Sailor Star Fighter were speaking with one another.
"J-Just a moment, Mamo-chan..."
The demeanor that Sailor Moon had on display worried Sailor Pluto then as she moved away from the outers to join where Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Mercury were standing at, "Is Sailor Moon alright, Tuxedo Mask? Something seems to be bothering her."
"I was about to ask the same. Is something wrong?" Joining into the conversation between the two standing before her.
Tuxedo Mask appeared to pause slightly before returning his attention towards Sailor Mercury and Sailor Pluto then, "Indeed, something is going on, Sailor Mercury. I don't know precisely what's going on... something is definitely on Sailor Moon's mind. Perhaps she's wanting to verify that Kira will be fine once she has the time to rest and recover from the days' events. Hmm..I wonder..." The last tidbits he mainly said to himself. Realizing two scouts were awaiting a response, "My apologies, I'm certain that everything is fine. She's just wanting reassurance that Kira will have everything she requires for the time being."
Why was it that their prince didn't sound convincing then? Sailor Pluto wondered to herself. She was drawn out of her thoughts at the sound of conversation at their side, turning to see Sailor Jupiter and a saddened Sailor Venus speaking towards one another.
"Her actions before spoke loudly... louder than what was said to me, back then." "Hm? What was that?" "Nothing, never mind."
"I think that everyone is strung out and exhausted from the day. Among other... things. Perhaps everyone will feel much better once we've all gotten a good night's rest. Give ourselves some alone time... in order to restore and re-energize our inner chi. By thinking on the day's events. As well as what's in store for the following day to come."
"Rest is something everyone here needs." Spoken to herself as she looked at everyone who did appear worn out from the days' long events. The sound of wind rushing past all of them drew Sailor Pluto out of her thoughts and up towards the commotion, realizing that Sailor Mars and Star Fighter were no longer among them and were shooting up high in the air into the stars.
"I have a feeling that some plan on attending Kira's archery event tomorrow to help support and cheer her on. In all honestly, I would like to think, after everything Kira went through, that she would sit this archery event out. However, my gut tells me that she won't sit idle on the sidelines for long, that she will be there with bells on. And so will her friends."
Two individuals of their group had already departed, now was the time for the rest of them to do the same. Moving to walk past Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus. Sailor Pluto moved to where Sailor Neptune, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Saturn were gathering around Sailor Chibi Moon ready to depart.
Leaning over as she smiled over at Small Lady and Sailor Saturn, "Go ahead and head to the house. I will catch up to you all later, I have some things I need to attend to at the lab." What she stated was obviously a code for needing to do something else. Plus she knew that there was only so much room in the car. She knew that Chibiusa was ecstatic to ride along with Hotaru and catch up on all that has been going on between them. This was the perfect opportunity to allow them some friendship time alone on the drive home. Providing a wave and a small smile towards her group, she started to walk off towards a darkened caddy corner of a building structure, de-transforming in the process.
"That's a good plan Sailor Pluto." She directed at Sailor Pluto. Sailor Saturn looked around for a place to transform back and decided on a tree close by. She ducked behind the tree and de-transformed and was once again in her lilac off the shoulder high low dress and walked over to join Haruka along with Michiru. "A festival does sound like it would be a lot of fun and we can go and support Kira if she does end up attending the tournament as well as have her back if anything happens." Hotaru said to Haruka.
Sailor Neptune followed suit and jumped in the same tree Sailor Saturn went behind and de-transformed. She appeared in her long teal dress. She jumped down and walked over and stood at Haruka's side. Michiru noticed Haruka was deep in thought as she watched the others talk among themselves. When asked about going for a drive with Haruka she leaned over closer to her. "Sure. We can leave once the girls are in bed." She whispered to her. "See you back at home Setsuna." Michiru told her. "Let's get you girls home." She told Hotaru and Chibiusa as they made their way towards Haruka's car.
"See you back at home Setsuna-mama." Hotaru told her with a wave. "Yes I'm ready to go." She nodded at Haruka as they started heading towards Haruka's blue car.
