Earth's Uproar

Rampage, rampage, rampage!

They flooded the streets. They burned buildings. They fought with each other. They shed blood. Soon enough, there were none left who trusted the prince.

After corrupting the Shitennou, Beryl had gone on to do the same thing to all of the people of Earth. She told them all beautiful lies – or so they seemed beautiful.

Your prince is betraying you! You can't trust a thing he says! Join me, or else the people of the moon will take over and you'll all become their slaves! But fear not – for if you join me, we can conquer them! You will never be slaves to those moon demons!

Within less than a month, they were all swayed. Endymion did all that he could to try and calm them down and remind them of the truth, but it was no use. They refused to listen.

"You traitor! How could you sell us over to them? We'll take you out!"

He had to remain locked inside the palace, but with his generals now turned against him as well, there was no safe place in all the Earth. In due time, he migrated to the moon and took refuge there.

All the while, Beryl took his place at the throne and gave her orders – the plan to attack the Moon Kingdom.

Meanwhile...

"We need to prepare ourselves," Venus said to the other Senshi. "Anything could happen at this point. If it's the Legendary Silver Crystal she wants, she'll stop at nothing to get it."

"And now the whole Earth is on her side," said Jupiter.

"We have to be ready."

"Yes," a gentle voice said, slowly getting closer. "We must be prepared for battle – ready to defend our kingdom at any given moment."

Queen Serenity was walking down the steps to meet them, followed by the Prince and Princess. The Senshi respectfully bowed before her.

"I suspect they will send spies, so be on constant lookout, all of you."

"Absolutely, Your Majesty," Venus said. "And I must inform you that I do believe they will attack the moon. Kunzite's attempt at stealing the Silver Crystal signaled that to me."

"Tell everyone in the kingdom and spread the word to all of the moon," she ordered. "We will build an army."

"Listen up!" Beryl shouted from the throne. "The prince has gone to the moon and informed them of all that has happened here, so they are under suspicion of our plan. That is why we need to act NOW! We will all teleport to the moon and attack as one army – but first, I need to know what those moon brats are up to. I will send a handful of volunteers there to observe them and report back to me. Who shall it be?"

A multitude of hands went in the air and Beryl chose 20 of them.

"Excellent. Now, Zoisite..." she turned to the young general. "How do we transport them?"

"The portal is located outside the palace on the west side. The prince and we four generals are the only people of Earth who are enabled to use it. However, if I go and take them with me, it should allow them to pass through."
