Chapter 62: A Meeting Draws Near!: The Return Of The Sailor Guardians!

Date: April 5, 1999

Thunder clouds continued with lightning that seemed to dance across the sky, as I walked back with Usagi with the now powered down Love Angels following close behind. Soon after they gathered their bearings after the fight, we had all powered down to not attract any extra attention.

"And viewers. Sorry, Shinko here. Sorry about breaking the fourth wall on you again...*says this by traditionally bowing at the viewers before bringing eyesight and head upward again with a slight blush on face before continuing to address the viewers with a blush on face*...Anyway viewers, as I was about to say to all of you. So, despite my best efforts to protect Wedding Peach, as well as Eternal Sailor Moon. Wedding Peach still wound up getting injured during the fight. You know, when she was subdued by the shadows in our fight against Heart and Knight? Anyways viewers, I only hope that her injuries are not as bad as they seem. *says that while giving a very concerned look on face and a slight blush before face turns back to a neutral expression again*...Anyway viewers, back to the story."

Anyway, it was then that Momoko began to stumble, but she was thankfully supported by Scarlet before she had actually fallen over. "Momoko, are you sure-" Scarlet began to ask but was then cut off mid sentence by Momoko.

"Yes, we can trust her!" Momoko replied, as she cutoff Scarlet's statement short, while glaring at her.

Scarlet looked at her in surprise before once again speaking up. "...I was going to say are you sure you don't need help walking home?"

Momoko's eyes slightly widened, to which then looked at the ground, the shadow of her bangs now covering her eyes. "I am sorry, Scarlet... yes.." she whispered the last part but her regal friend heard her and allowed Scarlet to support her.

And as they, along with the rest of us, rounded the intersecting streets, they arrived at me and Momoko's home. "By the way Momoko and Shinko, where are your parents?" Yuri asked as she and Hinagiku caught up with the three of us.

I looked at Hinagiku before then deciding to answer her question, "Our Dad had to leave home for awhile for a photography job and I believe Mama is in the Angel realm with Aphrodite-Oba," I said matter-of-factly.

It was at this point that Yuri, Hinagiku and Scarlet looked at me with blank faces and sweat-dropped.

The one to break the their daze was Hinagiku, "A-Aphrodite, let's you call her 'Oba'?"

I looked at them, now red with embarrassment. "Mama said it was fine... and Aphrodite Oba-san gave me one of "those" looks, and besides, Momoko calls her Oba-san as well."

A chill went down all three of Yuri, Hinagiku, and Scarlet's spines as they remembered what exactly I was talking about. Aphrodite can be quite... scary, when she's trying to insist on an important matter.

"And I guess her being able to actually communicate and interact with her niece felt nice, but I wish she wasn't so insistent on me calling her Oba-san. I mean, she's royalty. Not to mention that she was one of the reasons why I reunited with Momoko after so many years...But with regard to Aphrodite being royalty...And just so all of you viewers know so that you are not all confused...'Oba'...means Ruler in English translation from Japanese...Just thought that I would clear any sort of confusion or if you are at all wonder what 'Oba'...means...Sure that would make me and Momoko princesses of sorts, but from that-" I was jolted back to reality when I heard Scarlet call to me, pulling me out of my deep submergence in my own thoughts. Well, that was after I had briefly turned my head, as well as my eyesight, slightly to the right of me, to briefly address the viewers. To which I then proceeded to turn my attention to Scarlet, in order to answer to what she had just asked from me.

"Yea?" I asked, as I then went and turned my head towards Scarlet to address her. But as I did, my head bumped into something, or rather, someone.

"Oh hey Shinko, Momo-Pi," the familiar male voice said.

My eyes widened. "There is only one person that I know of that calls Momoko by that nickname," I thought to myself, as I then slowly raised my head and my eyes then met with the eyes of Yousuke Fuuma. "Y-Yousuke?! What are-" Momoko began to ask.

Before Momoko could finish her question of what Yousuke was doing out in this storm, she suddenly then felt herself get light-headed and her breathing then suddenly became shallow, and her vision then also became hazy. She still desperately tried to keep herself from falling over and losing her support from Scarlet, but darkness then quickly overcame her, and she then began to fall forward.

Upon taking immediate notice of this having transpired. I wound up reacting as any sister would, with quite a bit of concern for Momoko's well being. "Sis!" I yelled, while I then tried to rush over to her side to stop her from falling over.

"MOMOKO?!" everyone else gasped, seeing her fall toward the cold ground.

Luckily, Scarlet was able to keep her balance and Yousuke was able to get over quickly enough to catch Momoko in time. "Man, talk about being light on your feet...huh viewers?" I thought to myself, as I had now stopped rushing over to Momoko, and had also once again, briefly turned my eyesight, as well as my head and attention, to the right of me again, to once again briefly address the viewers.

This was then followed, after I had done my fourth wall break moment. By Yousuke then looking at all of us before he then decided to speak up. "What the hell is going on?" Yousuke asked us with his left eye brow cocked, and also while holding onto Momoko.

"We'll explain later, but right now we have to tend to Momoko," Jama-P then replied from behind Yuri.

Yousuke then looked down at the bruised and exhausted half-angel in his arms and back to the rest of us in front of him. "Right," he agreed. "I'll carry Momo-Pi," he followed up with saying. And with that, he picked up the unconscious half-angel in his arms and turned toward me and Momoko's home.

As all of us entered me and Momoko's home, Luna looked over at the young man named Yousuke and then decided to speak up. "Yousuke, was it? I hope you don't mind me prying, but I can't help but notice you have a Devil's aura, just what are you exactly?"

Yousuke, who was caught off guard by the talking cat for a moment, but he then quickly recovered his composure. He then replied as he set Momoko on a laid out futon pad gently to what Luna had just asked him. "I'm a half-blood, like Momoko and Shinko," he looked at his love with concern and pain in his eyes. "I didn't know until a while after we were spending more time together, that I realized that they were soothing the Devil side of me when it was acting up since the other devils were after my power, since I'm a reincarnated devil, known as Viento, that had the power to conquer the angel realm," he placed his hand on Momoko's cheek then stroked her bangs to the side. "...she stuck with me, as did Shinko, even after I tried to push them both away to keep them safe, they both always told me we would get through it together...and they were both right."

It was then, once Yousuke had finished his statement, that Luna then began to giggle.

Yousuke looked at the ebony feline. "What?"

"It's nothing," she purred in response. "It just reminds me of the past," She continued.

And as the rain continued its downpour, everyone continued to tend to Momoko and Usagi's wounds. Yuri was currently changing the cloth on Momoko's forehead, Hinagiku was applying a bandage onto the injury on Usagi that had been left by Knight, Scarlet was cooking something for everyone, and Yousuke was sitting near Momoko, while I was standing right beside them both, keeping Momoko company as well. I mean, wouldn't you want to stay near your sister at a time like this? My point exactly.

As everyone finished eating, Luna went back to Usagi's bag, and grabbed Usagi's communicator that was in Usagi's bag. "I better tell the others what has happened." as she got up to me and Momoko's room, she jumped on the window-seal and opened the communicator. "Calling all Guardians of Princess Serenity, please come in!" Luna said, as she waited a few moments before a holo-screen appeared in front her with an eight-way communication screen.

"Luna!" they all exclaimed, with all of their faces just a little too close to the holo-screen.

And with the outburst of voices, this wound up shocking Luna and made her fall of her perch and on to the floor. "NAME OF GODDESS SELENITY!" Luna exclaimed right after she had fallen on to the floor, with her eyes now swirling from the sudden outburst.

And as Luna then got back up on her perch, she could hear some giggles over the comm. "I am so sorry Luna for startling you," Minako managed to get out between giggles.

"Y-Yes" Luna replied, her eyes still swirling from the outburst of voices seconds earlier. And as she gave her head a few more seconds to clear and to stop the world spinning, Luna then decided to speak up in response to what Minako had said. "Thank you Mina," she thanked, as she composed herself, she began her message. "Everyone, unfortunately...this isn't a social call, our situation has gone from bad to worse," she paused. "...Everyone, it's time. You are to return to Tokyo ASAP... a new enemy has appeared, and the senshi are needed once again."

"And isn't that the truth viewers. Sorry, Shinko here again...*proceeds to once again blush profusely while briefly turning head eyesight and attention away from addressing the viewers before once again bringing head, eyesight and attention forward again to once again continue to address the viewers*...Anyway, my sincerest apologies for that...as well as breaking the fourth wall on all of you viewers again...*says this while traditionally bowing before bringing head, eyesight, and attention back up and forward again to continue addressing the viewers*...But I feel that this is something important that I need to address to you all right now...Anyway, as I was about to say to all of you viewers...I first would like to ask all of you viewers a question...what do you all think of the story so far?...Let me know in the comments section of either this, or any other chapter in this fanfic...Because if you are invested in reading this fanfic, as well as the other two...Then I strongly suggest that you put the effort in to leave some sort of review pertaining to your overall feedback...along with what you think of this fanfic up to this point...I mean come on now, surely you are not this lazy?...Because if you have the energy to complain on my YouTube channel regarding my channels success...then you can very obviously put that same amount of effort in to leaving a review with some sort of feedback...Don't be a lazy sod...and don't be daft either...Put the effort in, and maybe I will wind up taking your feedback and review into account...Well, I think that that is enough of my immense and lengthy fourth wall break ramble...I will see you all in the next chapter. *says the last part while smiling with eyes closed and waving*"
