Chapter 63: Defusing The Situation!: The Meeting Of The Senshi And The Love Angels!

Date: April 5, 1999

"Okay viewers...Sorry, Shinko here...Now, as I was about to say to all of you viewers...Do you remember when I said earlier that having all of the senshi being awakened was a little bit intimidating? Well, I wasn't lying when I said that...And as you are about to read in this chapter...it is going to be quite intimidating...I mean after all...The Sailor Senshi are one of the most well known 90s magical girls in the magical girl genres history...True, they are not the only ones that are well known, as the Love Angels...although sometimes referred too as a ripoff of Sailor Moon...are also quite well known...While it is also true that the Wedding Peach anime never got a proper release in the states...I intend to prove that the Wedding Peach anime...has more then deserved a proper United States release...Sure, it was overshadowed by Sailor Moon when it was first released over here in Japan...But just because the same character designer who worked on the Sailor Moon anime, also worked on the character designs for the Wedding Peach anime...that doesn't automatically mean that it is a ripoff!...I mean seriously, how dense must you viewers be?!...I think I have proven more then enough, that these three self-insert fanfics deserve to be turned into actual canon!...I mean seriously?...Did you really think that I was telling this story for the fun of it?!...No, of course not!...And if you really did think that to begin with!...Then that is your fault for assuming such!...I am not telling this story for the fun of it!...I mean after all...these four anime deserve a proper canon crossover with each other!...But, I think that that is enough of my lengthy fourth wall break...Let us finally get on with the story."

Anyway, everything was just very quiet when Luna finished explaining their current situation to the Senshi and Earth Prince.

Mamoru was the one to break the silence. "...How is Usako doing?"

Luna sighed. "She's...fine actually, thanks to one of the people we ran into, who now that I think about it has a similar hairstyle to yours Rei, though she still got injured from one of our attackers."

"Dear Selene..." Ami quietly gasped, her eyes began to tear up so she covered her face with her hands. Mako looked at Ami and tried to comfort her with a hug. Ami just lunged into Mako's arms and cried softly as Mako stroked Ami's hair.

"...Tch, Damn," Haruka mumbled, banging her fist into the wall. "How could an enemy show up now?"

Michiru placed her hand on her lovers shoulder, Haruka gazed back to Michiru and noticed she gave her a sympathetic look, but her eyes also said that they'll get whoever did this to their princess and will make them pay dearly.

"At any rate, we're already on our way," Minako informed. "Just tell us the area and we'll find you."

"We're about 3 miles from Juban-" Luna informed the others before Ami interrupted her.

"Why that far out for groceries?"

"Because, they're still repairing from the "Surprise Storm" as the public think it was," Luna sighed. "But yes, even after so long they're still repairing the damage from our battle with Galaxia."

"Hey viewers, Shinko here. Just to let you all know, even when a villain is purified, like a certain evil senshi. There is always the possibility that she will wind up becoming a villain again. I mean, I'm not going to spoil future events for you. But, let's just say that as an old saying once said, 'nothing is forever.' And I find that this saying very much applies to what lies ahead. Anyway, back to the story."

"Oh...sorry, Luna," Ami mumbled in embarrassment. She normally would stay quiet through all explanations, but she's so upset and worried about Usagi.

Luna gave Ami a gaze of sympathy. "Iie, there's nothing to be sorry for Ami."

Ami gave a small smile but her eyes were red and tears continued to trickle down her cheeks. Mako continued to comfort her friend, then looked back to the holo-screen and her eyes landed on Mamoru. "Mamoru, where are you now?"

Mamoru looked up from the holo-screen then back. "I'm only two hours away from Tokyo, I'll be there soon."

Mako nodded and glanced back down to Ami, she was still shaking a little but she was calming down.

Rei's head shot up, her eyes wide. "I sense Usagi."

Minako nodded and headed in the direction Rei had indicated, "Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Hotaru... Can we count on seeing you four there?" Minako asked, keeping her eyes on the road.

"Yes," the Outer Senshi replied simultaneously.

"We'll get ready and be there soon," Hotaru added.

Yousuke had fallen asleep holding Momoko's hand, I was still standing right beside her, Hinagiku and Yuri were nodding off on the sofa with Jama-P on Yuri's lap, and Scarlet was the only one fully wake, sitting on a cushioned chair looking out the window.

"Worried?" a soft voice asked.

Scarlet snapped back to reality from her thoughts and looked at the source of the voice. "Luna..." she mumbled, her eyes following the felines' movements as she leaped on to the windowsill, then looked back to the window, the rain battering against the window. "What makes you think I'm worried?"

Luna gave a short sigh and a small smile. "The look in your eyes tells me all I need to know," she replied as she looked outside as well.

Scarlet's eyes widened a bit as she looked at the ebony feline then looked back at the rain. "So... My eyes gave me away?"

Luna giggled a little. "Yes, don't you know the the saying, "The eyes are the windows to the soul", but it wasn't just that." she glanced at Scarlet. "It was the way you're acting, trust me when I say that you're not the only one that has been through this kind of predicament before."

"Oh, what would you know," she grumbled.

Luna padded closer to Scarlet and replied. "I know what it's like to watch those you care for fall right before you, I know what it's like to just watch from the sidelines."

Scarlet shot a look that could cut, but it softened as she hung her head. "I... I SWORE TO MYSELF THAT I WOULD PROTECT MY COMRADES, BUT HOW AM I TO DO THAT IF I CAN'T EVEN DEFEND MYSELF?!"

Luna could see Scarlet's eyes beginning to tear up but Scarlet was forcing them back. Luna sighed and placed her paw on the red-heads hand causing Scarlet to look at her. "But we get stronger so we can protect them," Luna said. And with that said, the tears in Scarlet's eyes began to fall with her covering her mouth to muffle her silent cries.

A short time had passed after Scarlet finally let her tears fall, that they noticed it was 11 o'clock. Scarlet looked around the room and smiled at her sleeping friends. She got up and looked in the hallway cupboards to find some blankets. Once she found some, she brought them back and put one each over her dreaming comrades. With that done, she returned to the chair she was sitting in before with a blanket of her own and continued to keep watch 'till she nodded off with Luna curled up on her lap.

Rain battered the windshield of Minako's car as she continued to listen and follow Rei's directions. She looked in her rear-view mirror to see Mako nodding off with Ami asleep in her arms, Minako smiled and looked forward. "Those two, they're so close, but then again I guess they balance each other out... We all balance each other out... Usagi... hang on, we're on our way."

"Minako?" Rei's voice brought her out from her deep thoughts.

"Y-Yes?"

Rei just looked at her for a second, then looked ahead. "Turn right up here at this corner."

Minako did as told and made a slow turn, as she did she squinted her eyes meeting familiar headlights and stopped the car altogether. She got out of the car to confirm if she was right and sure enough, she was.

"Yo," Haruka greeted, putting her hand up.

"Haruka, good to see you," Rei responded as she got out of the car with an umbrella.

Setsuna came out of the car and glanced to the home they had sensed their princess in, then glanced over at the conversing Senshi. "Everyone, let's go to our princess."

After waking the Senshi that were resting in the cars, they headed toward Me and Momoko's home, and knocked on the door and awaited an answer.

Yousuke woke up with a start from the doorbell ringing. He glanced to the door then back to Momoko, he placed his hand on her forehead then slid his hand down her cheek. "...She's flushed, I better get a cold cloth and answer the door." he got up and made his way toward the door, but before he opened it he felt waves of different auras. "W-What the...?" and though he was hesitant, he slowly opened the door and was greeted with the sight of several girls and a man (A/N: of course he doesn't know Haruka is a girl). "Can I help you?" he asked. It was at this point that I turned my attention to Yousuke, and a look of hesitation and also complete shock found its way onto my face. "Wait, what are they doing here!? I don't mind them being here, but, this is kind of sudden, not to mention a little bit intimidating. Well, this is going to be interesting," I thought to myself, until I caught sight of Hotaru, then I felt a feeling of sickness well up in my stomach. Out of all the senshi, Hotaru Tomoe, or Sailor Saturn as she was also known, intimidated the literal heck out of me. Someone who had the power to destroy an entire planet without even trying, at least, that was what I had regarding some of the information that I knew about her, was enough of a reason for me to be very intimidated.

It was at this point that Setsuna was the one to reply to Yousuke. "Yes, we got a call from a friend of ours that told us to meet them here, and we are very sorry for us coming so late."

Yousuke gazed over the group but nodded and moved to the side, "Come on in."

Hotaru was the one to spot their princess first. "Usagi!" she gasped, quickly making her way to her and then kneeling down.

With the outburst cry of Usagi's name, the other Love Angels were startled out of their sleep and made Luna jump in the air from being startled. "MRROOWW!" causing Scarlet to sit up and get into a defensive stance, making Haruka and Michiru get into stances as well. "Are you seriously kidding me right now, I cannot imagine the amount of damage that will happen if a fight breaks out between Salvia, Uranus and Neptune!" I thought to myself, as I prepared to reach into my skirt pocket and pull out my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, knowing full well of the consequences that would result from me transforming, but when you are trying to defuse a fight, you've got to take whatever measures you can.

Before a fight could break out, Minako was able to get everyone's attention by manifesting her Venus Chain and whipping it against the floor, causing everyone to look at her, she then cleared her throat. Man, that scared the heck out of me. "-Ahem-, instead of having an all out brawl as our greeting, how about we introduce ourselves."

Once everyone relaxed, Setsuna suggested that they finish introductions in the morning, and with that, each of the Senshi found a place to rest and the Love Angels went back to where they were resting earlier and everyone drifted off to sleep, listening to the sounds of the storm that raged on outside. It was then that I realized, I had just become a very important part in saving Usagi. I had saved Sailor Moon from being very badly injured, maybe even killed. However, it wouldn't become apparent until later on, that those images that had been shown to me, were shown to me for a very good reason, and wouldn't be made apparent as to why until later that night.

And with regards to Setsuna. She would wind up having some questions for me, regarding some, shall we say, suspicions that she had.

But that is another story for another time.
