                The long wait is finally over! The time away gave me a chance to plot out the rest of the story... now to find time to write it...?



Eris carefully examined the staff in his hands. He was surprised at how easy it was to obtain the object he sought. All the planning was finally over. They could now move on to the next phase. Once they found the missing pieces their Master would fully mature and they would be unstoppable.

The sound of footsteps directed his attention to the door. Two new faces would join him on Nemesis, Sedena and Ixion. Sedena was a young woman with long pink hair pulled back in a ponytail adorning a pale blue jump suit. Ixion stood next to her, easily a foot taller than her. He kept his emerald green hair short, the black crescent moon mark easily visible on his forehead. He wore a short sleeve white shirt and navy blue slacks. They belonged to an elite group that carried out special missions for Eris.

Ixion noticed the staff in Eris' hands and smiled broadly. "I see our job will be easier." It was his way of congratulating his boss.

"We will find the remaining crystal pieces," assured Sedena, a smile pulled at the corners of her mouth. She was excited to finally leave the Earth and return to her home planet.

"Haumea and Quarora will remain on Earth with an army of minions to keep the other senshi busy. Makemake will also remain here to look after the chosen one. I want to find the pieces as soon as possible, so we can finally take what is rightfully ours," Eris explained his plan to the others. "I was surprised to see the Moon Senshi on Earth. I was not aware they had broken free of their crystal imprisonments."

"They... are free?" Ixion questioned in disbelief. "This changes things."

"Agreed," Eris confirmed. "They have a basic understanding on how we operate. It will only be a matter of time until they determine we have taken Sailor Cosmos to Nemesis." He hesitated as he pondered the benefits having them captive for a long period of time. "We have learned a lot from them during the time spent enclosed in the crystal. We were able to learn the weaknesses of those of lunar descent. Given the identity of the Guardian; the information proved to be invaluable."

Sedena nodded her head in agreement. "I wonder how they were able to escape?"

"That is something Ixion and I will investigate while we are here. I am leaving you in charge of watching over our frozen friend," Eris instructed. He glanced at the crystal enclosed form of Sailor Cosmos behind them. "We will be monitoring her as a precaution."

Ixion turned his gaze to the crystallized figure behind him.

"If the Moon Senshi were able to escape it leads me to believe Sailor Cosmos would be able to as well... but it would certainly take her a long time. Since the Moon Senshi's capture, it allowed our ancestors to gather resources and allies for the cause. All of their hard work helped us to progress to where we are now. It is no coincidence to have a weapon to use against those of the White Moon. We knew we would have to face them one day. It took centuries to develop a weapon that was dangerous to them and not to us. But we are finally ready," Eris beamed as the thought of victory entered his mind. "Come Ixion," he said, "It is time we venture out for a while with our new accessory to find the remaining shards."

Several hours passed before the Moon Senshi, Inner Senshi and Starlights stopped to rest. The journey was more difficult then they originally anticipated. The Starlights never realized how much they had relied on their Princess to help them to travel quickly over a long distance. It is extremely taxing.
