Sailor Moon and Solaris

Invasion - Sailor Venus and Solaris

"The prince already has the other two, this is just needlessly cruel." Rubeus mused. Jupiter ascended into the green light above her. The two disappeared.

"Jupiter!" Sailor Moon screamed. Not again. We landed on the wet floor still staring at the sky.

"Are you ok?" Topaz asked as she bounded towards us, Luna close behind. "What happened?"

"Where's Jupiter?" Luna added.

"They took her!" Sailor Moon sobbed, turning and burying her head in my chest. She started to cry as I wrapped my arms around Venus.

"We couldn't stop them." Venus muttered.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered, my lips brushing against Sailor Venus's ear.

"Take it, perform your analysis." Venus said to the people behind us, causing me to glance back at them. I was holding a small containment unit holding what looked to be Petz's earring. "Hopefully you'll be able to gain something useful to make up for my failure." Venus gazed at Sailor Moon, disheartened. "I'm so sorry Usagi. I should have saved her."

"We did the best we could." I told her. "But...today it just wasn't our day." I pressed a kiss to Sailor Venus's temple, hoping to bring her some comfort.

Time skip:

Minako, Usagi, Luna, Topaz and I all gathered in the Command Centre later that day, hoping that Artemis had something for us. My hands rested on Minako's shoulders to remind her that I was there, and she was leaning heavily into me. "We've been investigating these so-called UFO's that the Black Moon used to abduct Mars, Mercury and Jupiter." Artemis started. "They're actually wormhole-like portals through space."

"As much as we've tried we haven't been able to pin point where they're coming from." Artemis added. "We don't even know when or where the next one will appear."

"If the Black Moon came through space through these portals, does that mean their aliens?" Minako asked.

"Not necessarily. I mean, you and Usagi are from different planets, your not exactly aliens yourself. However, it is likely." Luna said.

"There must be some reason they're targeting the Earth. Are they trying to kill us because we're in their way? They don't know who they're messing with!" I felt Usagi tense.

"They're not, Usagi." I muttered to her. "I'm sure that the girls are all fine."

"I can't take it anymore." Minako said angrily. "It's like they're toying with us!" Minako turned to us. "I've had it! Enough is enough. We have to confront Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Mina about the Black Moon, and make them tell us everything they know. Let's settle it once and for all, whether they are ours enemy or ours friends." I know that look. She was definitely determined. We left the command centre and ventured to the Tsukino household, Luna perched on the Princess' shoulders. I carried the earring, holding it in my hand. "How are you feeling?" Minako asked as Usagi opened the door. "Are you sure you're up to this?"

"Yeah, I'll be ok." Venus replied.

"Welcome home!" Two voices cheered, and Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Kumi came racing towards us.

"Oh! Minako!" Ikuko greeted, poking her head out the side of the kitchen entryway with who I can only assume is one of the girls' friends. "And Harusuke! Sorry about all the noise, Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Mina brought a little friend over with them after school for a play date."

"Harusuke! Come meet her!" Chibi-Usa begged.

"She's in the same class as us!" Chibi-Mina said excitedly. "And her name is Momo, and her family owns that really good Chinese restaurant over in the shopping district!"
