"She did a really good job on that last jump huh? And her
transitions were perfect!" Lilly continued, babbling on about this and
not caring at all that her friend wasn't listening to her.
 "Oh, and by the way, alicia, it sure looks like you broken ankle
healed fast."

"Eh...?" excaimed alicia, her train of thought inturrupted. "Oh
yeah!Uhhhhh...well....the doctor said it wasn't a major break, and it was
expected to heal by this time." She pulled a loose strand of her tawny
hairbehind her ear. "I must be more careful!" she thought angrily to
herself. "I knew I should've waited another week before healing it!"

alicia was a young girl who was only thirteen, but she was very
intelligent and strong. She was short for her age, and people often
mistook her for a younger girl of ten or eleven, which she thought was very
annoying. She had moderate-length tawny hair she always wore in a
single braid, amber eyes, and a healthy tan. She and Lilly had been friends
for ages, and they had stuck together no matter what. Lilly, and excellent
horseback rider, had recently qualified for the National Equestrian
Competetion.
 "The competition is in three weeks," said Lilly, a hint of
nervousness in her voice.

"Don't worry," alicia assured her. "You'll be great. You've been
clearing the toughest jumps every time."

"Well, maybe you're right," said Lilly, sounding more confidence.
The two girls walked Twilight to her stable.

"Hey, alica..."

 "Yeah?"

 "Would you like to come to the nationals with me?i've never seen
Twilight get along so well with anyone but me. It'd be a HUGE help. And
we could go shopping...." Lilly teased.

 "SURE! Tha'd be great. Would there be..." Alicia was cut off as
twilight reared and loped away into a large field. The other horses in
the barn were going crazy. Alicia and lilly peared around a stall to see
a large green monster with seven heads, each with eight eyes and no nose
shooting porcupine pricks out at horses and stable hands.

 "GERONIMO!" cried Lilly as her favorite minature pony feel to the
ground with a thin yellow needle stuck in his leg. "Oh die you foul
beats!"

 "VEGA ETERNAL POWER!" Lilly raged. She spun around and around until her
fuku appeared.

 She appeared in her pose with her eyes blazing in anger. Then she cried
to get the monster attention "With the power of the stars behind me, I
am Sailor Vega! I shall destroy you!"

"VEGA ENERGY BLAST!" her arms crossed infront of her chest and then one
went strait and the other pointed directily forward. A thick stream of
pure energy shot out from her palm.

 The energy beam ripped through one of the monster's seven heads, and
it roared in agony. However, Sailor Vega watched, dazed, as the monster
regrew two new heads! It attacked her, but she nimbly leaped out of the way.
The two new heads were shooting fire, and the stable was ablaze. The few
ramaining horses and ponies ran for their lives, and the less fortunate
wounded brayed in terror.

"You will pay for this!" yelled Sailor Vega in rage, tears streaming
down her cheeks. "VEGA ENERGY BLAST!" Her attack, now backed by her
anger, was more intense than ever. It hit the monster, sending it to the
ground, where it lie, motionless. Sailor Vega quickly ran out of the burning
building. "alicia! Where are you?" She couldn't find her friend
anywhere.

"My god! I hope she isn't....." Without warning, the burning stable
collapsed into a raging inferno. "...in there...." Sailor Vega stood
looking at the flames as if in a trance. She barely noticed the monster
leaping out of the flames toward her. "Noooo!" she screamed in terror.

 "Gorzog-5 Star Blaster Annihilation!" Out of nowhere, a
supercharged laser beam sliced through the monster. It was blasted out of harms
way. A senshi dressed in a gold fuku with shimmering stars stood on a nearby
fence holding an emormous gun. "Sailor Vega! Finish it!" she yelled.

"VEGA SUPERNOVA DESTRUCTION!" roared Sailor Vega, lifting her arms
overher head. In the sky above, the smoke parted, revealing a large star.
The star exploded, and the energy released was harnessed by Sailor Vega in a
spectacular display of light. This energy surged towards the monster,
and upon contact, vaporized it. The explosion sent Sailor Vega flying, and
when she got up, the enigmatic senshi was nowhere to be seen. She quickly
ran into the woods, where she changed back into Lilly,
and discovered alicia lying in a pile of leaves and holding a rope. The
other end of the rope was tied firmly around Twilight's bridle.

"Wha......what the..?" mumbled alicia.

 "There was a terrible accident," said Lilly. "Thank god you saved
Twilight."

 "That was no accident," thought alicia. "They know......"

"Come on. There's a fire to put out. Myabe some of the wounded horses
are still alive."

 The girls set Twilight free in the herd of horses milling around
the gravel parking lot. Then they found one small foal still alive, but it's
dam was dead. Lilly wiped away some tears as she came to Geronimo's
stall. He was still alive. But barely.

"Come one, help me lift him. We have to get him out of here!"

 Lilly and Alicia carried small stallion out and set the filly free. The
little foal went looking for it's mother. It wasn't there so it began to
bawl. Twilight wandered over and began nuzzling to little horse.

 "alicia, I'm going to go call the fire department. Look after Twilight
and Geronimo for, please?"

 "Sure"
 
But Lilly didn't Go to find a phone in the house. Instead, she went to
the stable and whispered...

"I call upon the power of my sister Sailor Mira. Bring forth the water
of the great star Mira!" Lilly put forth her hands and water shot out
from them, dousing the flames that she could reach.

 She then ran dialed 9-1-1.

 "Alicia, did you see anything in the stable? Anyone?....."

"This is better than I expected," she sneered evilly.

"Really, Mikasa?" questioned her advisor, a young women named Tiffany. Tiffany had
short, deep aqua hair and deep aqua eyes. She dressed in a black catsuit with a deep aqua
belt. She was tall and slender, and very good at martial arts.

"Yes," replied Mikasa.

"But we suffered losses. We wasted precious energy and lost one of our minions."

"But we forced them to reveal themselves, and know we know where they are. That was
the point of the mission. Know that their location is revealed to us, nothing can stop us
from extracting the Luminescent Blue Allium Crystal fro the body of Princess Himitsu
and becoming the masters of all power in the Universe. Plus, there is a remaining
Galactic Scout still alive, and even better yet, she is the most powerful one of all. If we
can extract her powers, and those of the other Sailor Senshi, we'd be ivincible, and the
Universe will be as good as mine! Mwa ha ha ha ha!"

Meanwhile, alicia and Lilly were sitting through a very boring advanced algebra class at
Juuban High School. alicia had skipped a few grades (and was subjected to torment from
her lower-mentalitly-leveled classmates about her heigth), and Lilly was, by far, the most
brilliant student in the class. Even Mizuno Ami couldn't beat her. They were still friends,
though. Finally, the class was over, and the girls were free at last!

"It's going to be my sixteenth birthday soon," Ami told alicia and Lilly. "You are both
invited to the party." She gave them invitations. "Usagi, Rei, Minako, and Makoto are
going to be there, and I'd really appreciate it if you'd both come."

"We'd love to," responded Lilly.

"Thank you," said alicia. The three girls parted and went towards their homes.

Later and elsewhere, Mikasa and her evils were moving nearer and nearer to the earth.
They traveled in a beautifully-crafted space vehicle that was furnished like a palace.
However, beneath it's beauty, there were several sinister weapons hidden in it's exterior.

"We shall attack when they least expect it," sneered Mikasa wickidly. She sat in front of
several different computer monitors, each showing a different senshi in their normal
attire. "Now that we know who all of them are, eliminating them shall be a breeze........." "Who will we start with?" questioned Tiffany, throwing her blue hair sideways to stare at her tall queen. "Well, it would be nice to begin with one of the more powerful senshi, like Vega or Gorzog-5. But I'm a very smart woman, Tiffany. We'll start with Sailor Mercury. She's turning sixteen soon. On that day, she can't activate her powers. We'll hope that Gorzog-5 and Vega aren't anywhere near there. When their powers are combined, they create the only thing that can destroy me: my sister. But we will stop them before they figure out how to! The Universe is as good as MINE!!!" ******* "hi alicia. Guess what? I found out that we get to travel FIRST CLASS in the airplane to the nationals. You'll have to pose as my groom. Hope you don't mind." lilly informed her friend. "Do I have to wear one of those corny jackets?" she questioned sounding skeptical. "Not since I'm riding western! You get to dress like a good 'ol fashioned cowgirl!" She teased. "Oh God!" muttered alicia in disgust. "Sorry." "noooooo! I wont do it! You can't make me....." "You get paid." "Woo hoo!" cried alicia, causing Lilly to fall down. "Well, I'll see ya later. Oh! What should we get Ami?" "Textbooks?" suggested alicia "Somehow...." "Look, why don't we go shopping tommorow. We don't have to go to school. And this is the FIRST weekend we've had so far this year without an exam to study for." "Okay. Lets just pray I can find money!" Lilly joked. "I'll call you tommorow and make arangements. K?" "Sure. See you tommorow" Alicia hung up the phone and got ready for bed. She had the worst feeling that something was wrong. Something unnatural was getting very close. ************ "Ooh! That neckalce is nice! Should I get it?" Alicia asked Lilly as they passed a jewelery store. "I dunno. Ami's not into jewelry." Lilly pointed out. "Not for her. I plan on giving it to a wonderful, pretty, smart, charming, witty..." "Just buy the necklace Alicia" Lilly giggled. They walked into the store, after finding out it was a friendship neckalce set, with a four pointed star on each, they split it. Lilly chose the yellow. "Well, we've been here an hour, and I havn't found a single thing we could get Ami." Lilly complained. "Laptop computer?" suggested Alicia. "As a last resort. Lets check the other side of the mall first, K?" Lilly said as she finished her grape soda and tossed it garbage. She fingered her yellow star. "That thing really catches the light" observed Alicia with suspicion. Lilly awkardly tried to look at it. It was glowing, very brightly. She quickly tucked it under her shirt. "Nothings wrong with it. Nothing. It's fine, really. It's okay. It's just a necklace." Lilly stammered. She knew what was happening. Her powers were detecting something evil, far away though. They were trying to find a way out. The glass star seemed perfect. alicia and Lilly found the perfect book for Ami in a rare book store. The part was only minutes away as the two girls walked towards Ami's apartment. Meanwhile, Mikasa and Tiffany had finally reached their destination; Earth. "Tiffany, it is your mission to deactivate Sailor Mercury. I shall go after Princess Himitsu myself." "Yes, highness," replied Tiffany, bowing. "I will not fail you." "You better not, Tiffany. You know I will not tolerate failure." Mikasa disappeared in a eerie light. Tiffany shuddered slightly before departing. "Oh, this is wonderful! I love it!" exclaimed Ami, examining the book alicia and Lilly gave her. Thanks so much!" she said, hugging them. "Whever did you find such an intriguing book?" questioned Minako. "At an old book store in the mall," replied Lilly. So far, the whole party had been hours of fun. The girls were preparing to sit down to cake and ice cream when alicia saw something out of her perepheral vision. "GET DOWN!" she screamed, leaping onto the table and drawing a huge sword from thin air. It came in contact with a sword belonging to Tiffany. The other girls gasped in horror. "Damn!" though Ami. "Why did this have to happen now! I can't acess my powers! And I though all our enemies had been vanquished." She grabbed Lilly by the arm and rushed out of the room. "Hey! What are you doing!" yelled Lilly, running off into another room. "Moon Eternal Make-up!" "Mars Crystal Power Make-up!" "Jupiter Crystal Power Make-up!" "Venus Crystal Power Make-up!" Soon the Inner senshi were ready to do battle, with the exception of Mercury. alicia was busy dueling with Tiffany. She threw her into a wall, and Sailor Moon took over. "I am Sailor Moon, the pretty sailor suited warrior of love and justice. In the name of the Moon, you shall be punished!" "Be quiet, petty earth-girl!" sneered Tiffany. "It is not your time yet! Glass Crystal Beam!" Tiffany quickly turned the Inner senshi into glass before they knew what hit them. As she snickered and indulged in her victory, another senshi took her by surprise. "Vega Energy Blast!!!" Tiffany was hit full-force by the beam and was greatly injured. "Sailor Vega!" she growled. "Plasmodic Crystallization!" Sailor vega dodged Tiffany's powerful attack, and the whole room was crystallized. Sailor Vega landed and slipped on the slippery glass floor. She slid across the room and bumped into Tiffany. The two got involved in a huge fistfight, resulting in Sailor Vega pushing Tiffant through a window and cutting her face badly. Tiffany screamed out in agony. "Please! Spare me!" she cried painfully. Her word touched Sailor Vega's heart. She let Tiffany go. Tffany immediatly disappeared. Sailor Vega set to work on restoring the Inner Senshi bac to human state. "Mizuno Ami, or should I say, Sailor Mercury!" sneered Tiffany, surprising Ami. "What do you want?" yelled Ami, trying to hide the rising fear in her voice. Tiffany weilded a huge Crystal. "Oh, nothing really," she sneered as a beam from the Crystal pierced Ami's chest. She screamed. "Just your Senshi Crystal." A brilliant Blue Crystal shot from Ami's chest and hovered in the air. The symbol of Mercuty was etched into its surface. "Mikasa should be pleased." As Tiffany was about to seize the Crystal, someone jumped her. She hit the floor and felt a searing pain in her back. She looked up and stared into the angry eyes of the Enigmatic Senshi, Sailor Gorzog-5. Before either could react, though, Mikasa appeared. Sailor Gorzog-5 jumped up and summoned her massive gun. She pointed it at Mikasa. "At last we meet again, Princess," she sneered. "What are you talking about?" roared Sailor Gorzog-5. "You can't escape your past!" "Go to Hell, Mikasa! Star Blaster Annihilation!" Mikasa vanished and reappeared by Ami's Crystal. She took it and made it disappear. Sailor Gorzog-5 attacked her again, and they fought furiously. Just then, the Inner Senshi and Sailor Vega stormed into the room. "Soon the Universe will be mine, Sailor Senshi!" thundered Mikasa as lighting surged from her body. Sailor Gorzog-5 was thrown into a wall. Mikasa ripped off her tiara and touched her forehead. A Star Symbol appeared, and Sailor Gorzog-5's fuku materialized into a beautiful gown. The senshi watched in awe. Sailor Gorzog-5 summoned the last amount of her strength to summon her sword and slash Mikasa's stomach. Mikasa reared back in pain. Sailor Vega charged her and took Sailor Mercury's Crystal. Mikasa and Tiffany vanished angrily. Sailor Vega returned the Crystal back to Ami and revived her. Suddenly, they all looked up and saw Sailor Gorzog-5 hovering in the air wearing the dress with beautiful wings streched out behind her and carring a staff with a large Crystal. An iredescent light emanated from her body. She looked sadly at the Senshi as a dark light rose up from the ground and consumed her. In a flash of violent light, she was gone. Then, everything went black.......
