     note: Okay, I am doing another miniseries within a series type of
episode. For the next few episodes, the group will be going to limbo.  Why
am I doing the story this way?  Well, I am influenced by something called
comic books.  Anyway, the next few episodes will lead to a climax.  This
first part is just to lead in to what is to come. I should have this mini
series  done by fifteen or sixteen.   Now, as for what will happen after
that, just keep reading. Another thing is that from now on, I will call
Seyuto, Yojiryu.  That's his name. I'll say why later on.  And now, onto
the story.

     Iesha woke up in on her bed in the early morning.  She bends herself
forward, yawning at her own tired body.  She stepped off the bed into her
slippers.  She walks over to the kitchen to see that her father had made
breakfast for her.  She smiles happily as she steps out the door.  She
takes her hand and grabs some water from the sink.  Iesha moves out of her
bathroom back to her kitchen.  She takes her breakfast to her room.  It
was odd for her to adjust to living in Japan. Japan was way different from
New York she thought.  She rushes to her closet and picks out a shirt and
some jeans.  Iesha calls a number she had lay on her desk.  She was hoping
for an answer. The number was from Haruka and Michiru. She finishes her
Breakfast and is out the door.  
     Iesha walks by Yuuniko's home to check on her.  She knocks on the
door with a firm presence that Yuuniko's mother can not deny.  Yuuniko's
mother opens the door to see her neighbor.  She smiles at Iesha , looking
at her warmly.
     Iesha asks her," Ohayo  Uchuno-san.  Is Yuuniko-chan here?"  She
stops herself to notice that she was using Japanese.
     Mrs. Uchuno smiles at her, glad to see that Iesha is making an effort
to adjust to her new home.  Then she shakes her head. " Gomen Iesha-san.
She is not here at the moment. Try again later this afternoon perhaps."
     Iesha frowns a little.  She then changes her expression. "Oh well.
Good bye!"
     Mrs. Uchuno says in English, "Good bye Iesha."
      Iesha walks away softly when she decides to go to Ako's home.  She
turns the corner, headed for Ako's home.  Iesha knows that Ako lives with
her uncle and most of the time Ako is left alone in her house. Walked up a
set of stairs. Her dark green shirt began to stick to her closely because
of the heat.  She makes it to the door.  There is no answer.  Iesha begins
to frown again.  She then says to herself, " Where the hell is everyone?"
     She decides to head to Usagi's home.  She has not seen Usagi for over
a week.  School was to start soon, less than a week and she was hoping to
have some time with her friends.  Recently, they have been really distant.
She felt as if something was up that she had no idea about.  She was
crossing the street not too far from Usagi's home when someone came up
behind her. 
     A voice says, "Iesha Madison . . .you must not go there."
     The voice was one of a female.  The voice was deep and mysterious.
Iesha could almost get a hint of power from the sound.  Iesha says, "What
the hell do you mean?  and who the hell are you?" Iesha turns around.  The
sight she finds is somewhat shocking.
It was a Sailor Senshi.  She had long,  white hair.  Her eyes were a light
yellow.  Her fuku was much like the others but different.  She had the
usual white body suit but with armor like pads on her shoulders, like
Sailor V.  Her dress was silver with a blue trim. Her bows was a navy
blue.  She had silver high heels.  Her face seemed harden somehow Iesha
though.
     " I am a Sailor Senshi.  You have something to do before you rejoin
the other senshi.  You must be tested for the power," the unknown senshi
answered.
     Iesha replies, "What do you mean be tested? Other Senshi? Are you
saying that Usagi is a Sailor Senshi?"
     The girl, actually young woman would fit her description better,
states, "There is not much time.  Dreadlox's forces are tempering with the
forces that give strength and wisdom.  You have been chosen as part of
that battle."
     Iesha turns her face to an expression of surprise and near disbelief.
" You are making me a senshi?!  Holy shit! You are gonna make me a warrior
like Sailormoon and Jupiter and all them." 
     The woman takes her hand.  They see a portal open.  "Come."
     "One second.  What's your name? I have never seen you with the Sailor
Senshi before." Iesha looks at the woman and portal.
     "I am the Spirit Senshi.  You may call me Sailorio."  Thess are the
last words Iesha hears spoken to her as they enter the portal.

     Luna stepped outside the house.  She walked alone to find an area of
privacy.  Luna went in a tree behind the yard and saw Seji there.  Seji
was sitting alone in the tree, his legs curled up.  His arms wrapped
around his legs.  Luna came up to him.  She pawed Seji lightly to get his
attention.  
     Luna says in a soft voice, "What is wrong Seji?  Usagi will make it
through.  You have to believe that."
     Seji picked up his head.  His blue eyes stayed on the black cat.
"Usagi is strong. I know that.  Then there is also my father, who died
because of those punks.  Their is too much at stake.  The world. . . the
future."
     Luna jumps on to the lap of Seji. " Do you know how much of the
future is at stake?"
     Seji gives a confused looked. " I don't get what you mean Luna.  I
know there is the planet's future existence at stake."
     Luna glances into his eyes as she tells him what she means. " There
is a whole future Kingdom at stake, Crystal-Tokyo.  You know that your
sister will have Chibi-usa in the future.  Well, Crystal-Tokyo is what she
is a product from.   Your sister will ascend to be the Queen of
Crystal-Tokyo in the future.  She will cleanse evil off the face of the
planet.  Her job is to make sure that the world will be safe from evil,
even in the future.  Usagi will marry Mamoru and together will build
Crystal-Tokyo.  If the Dark Reign wins, Crystal-Tokyo will never come to
pass.  This would change the past and the future considering that
Chibi-usa will never be born."
     Seji looks at the black cat in awe.  He did not realize how important
the future of the planet was so intertwined with his sister.  He stands
up.
     "Luna, Dreadlox has a full tripod already.  I see no other action
then to go into limbo and retrieve a shard," Seji announces, his fist
clenches as he spoke.
     Luna stares at Seji. "Seji . . .that is crazy!  You and the other
will be killed."
     Seji's face turns into a serious expression. "Luna, we don't have a
choice.  Usagi can't detranform in her state.  The silver crystal is
losing energy.  We need to figure out a way to restore Usagi's powers and
the others.  If we have a piece from each of the tripods, we could restore
their powers and Usagi will the same ritual that our father did to me."
     "But if you leave now, the princess will be unprotected,"Luna says.
     A voice cries, "There is always risks in this business."  
     The two turn around to see Mamoru.  His eyes were blackened by the
lack of sleep.  His face dulled by pain and love for Usagi.  Seji stares
at him with sorrow. "Mamoru, you should get some rest. If you want, I stay
with Usagi."
     Mamoru replies sternly, "No!  I will rest the moment Usagi is fine."
     Luna states, "Mamoru . . .Seji wants to take the court into Limbo for
a shard.  Usagi will be unprotected!"
     "No she won't," Mamoru starts, "because I will protect her!"
     "You can't protect Usagi alone!  Your tire as it is," points out
Luna.
     "I don't care!!  I will protect Usagi while the rest get whatever you
need," Mamoru  snaps as he walks away.
     Luna says, "He can't protect her alone!  He will get himself killed!"
     Seji nods in agreement. "But what do we do for help?  I am not sure
where the other Guardian Senshi are at the moment.  I can't trace any of
the Sailor Senshi that was with me at that time either.  Any ideas for
getting help?"
     Luna puts a paw on her head.  She then jumps in excitement. "The
Starlights!!"
     Seji says in ignorance, " The who?!"
     " They are Sailor Senshi from another galaxy.  They are the
protectors of a princess on another system but they were on Earth for some
time.  They helped out Usagi before.  I am sure they would assist us now!" 
     Seji replies, "Great! Tell them what's going on and have them come to
Earth. We don't have time to spare. Now all I have to do is pick which
senshi are going and which senshi are staying behind."            

     In the castle that serves as the base for the Dark Reign, Lord
Dreadlox, Lady Malevolence and the Acolytes are all assembled in the
throne room.  Lord Dreadlox is waving his hand on a brilliant crystal.  It
floats ominously with three lines that seem to look as they were all parts
of a whole.  The large crystal is in a shape in a triangle.  Lord Dreadlox
smiles as everyone realizes the accomplishments of what has occurred.  The
Dark Reign now has one full tripod . . .the Tripod of Power!
     Lord Dreadlox begins to laugh. "Ha ha! See the beginning of what will
be our ascension. The power I have now.  I twist and turn the strengths
and weakness of that which has inner power.  Nature, the Earth, even to
the Sailor Senshi and you, my loyal acolytes . . . I have the means to
have the power shift in our favor.  This is a moment to cherish for soon
we will fall to the Earth and rule all."
     All of the Acolytes begin to clap at their master.  Lady Malevolence
smiles at her husband with feign pride.  She did not like the fact that
she was called back when she could have destroyed Eternal Sailormoon. She
hates her husband of denying her the kill.  She thought to herself that
she shall wait for the time to dethrone him.  Lord Dreadlox came close to
his wife and passionately kisses her.  Mayhem looks perplexed at the
action, but not understanding why.
     Hyperion steps forward. "This is indeed a joyous moment.  Soon, the
Sailor and Guardian Senshi will be no more.  Then the universe shall feel
the might of the Dark Reign. To Lord Dreadlox! " Hyperion raises a glass
in a toast.  Everyone follows.  Before they share a touch of the glass,
the mysterious figure reappears.
     The figure says, "Yes!  To Lord Dreadlox!"
     Lord Dreadlox turns to look at him is annoyance.  Lady Malevolence
yells quickly, 
"Mayhem. . . Hyperion, seize that pest and kill him."
     "My Lord. . . My Lady, I did not mean any disrespect.  I am here
merely to celebrate the first step of the end of Earth.  That is all,"
says the figure.  You cannot see his face fully but you can see a
disturbing grin on his face.
     Lord Dreadlox answers, "Welcome.  Take a glass. I have to admit that
I owe you much my friend."
     The figure answers, "That you do. But I welcome the chance to smile
as we are closer to getting Limbo to merge with Earth."
     Hyperion says in shock and anger, "We?!"
     Lady Malevolence grows in her anger.  She looks to Mayhem and the
other Acolytes and yells, " Enough of your impudence stranger!  Mayhem,
Acolytes . . .kill that miscreant now!"
     "And lose your freedom that I gave you and your forces?  I don't
think so," cockily pronounces the figure in the shadows.
     Lord Dreadlox cries in frustration, "UH!! He is correct. Acolytes!
Stand down!  If we turn against him, he may close us in."
     The figure says, "Your emperor speaks the truth.  Since I have no
reason to hid amongst you anymore. . ." the figure moves out of the
Shadows.  He has blood red hair.  It is much like Beryl's hair.  His eyes
are red as well.  He wore a suit much like that of Prince Endymion.  His
armor was a dark maroon color.  His body suit was red. He wore black boots
that were tightly gripped by his legs.  He had a sword.  He looked to be
about 17, possibly 18.  His face was curled into an evil grin. "There."
     Lady Malevolence and all the Acolytes looked at the young man
carefully.  Lord Dreadlox merely smiled at the figure.  Lady Malevolence
says inquiring, "Who are you?"
     "I am Prince Neron of the Dark Kingdom.  It was me who released you
onto the Earth.  Do not be alarmed. I only wish for the destruction of
Earth and those miserable Sailor Senshi, " the figure announced.
     "Prince Neron of the Dark Kingdom.  Any relation to Queen Beryl or
Metallia?" inquires Raven.
     "I am related to one of them.  That is not important.  Now that Lord
Dreadlox has the Tripod of Power, I think a show of strength is in order.
What do you think . . .my Lord?" asked the Prince of the Dark Kingdom.
     Lord Dreadlox had a smile grow cheek to cheek. " I am already causing
nature to go awry on Earth.  Soon, the symbolisis will begin."
     The Prince chuckles quickly.  Lady Malevolence goes to Mayhem and
murmurs, " Mayhem, watch that man carefully.  I do not *trust* him. "
     Mayhem nods .  The other Acolytes look on as the prince is talking to
lord Dreadlox.
     "My lord, I think that we should dispose of the senshi.  With the
appearance of Ares . . . now maybe the time to finish the senshi rather
than later," suggests Prince Neron.
     Lord Dreadlox puts his hand on his chin.  Then calls out to his
court. "Hyperion . . . I want you to pick two Acolytes to accompany you to
go to Earth and finish the senshi. But wait till I have done more damage
to Tokyo. Leave only Eternal Sailormoon and Tuxedo kamen alive. They will
be my kill."
     Hyperion nods. "As you wish my lord."
     
     Luna had called out for a weird crystal.  She tapped it with her paw
lightly.  The crystal began to light up, brightly.  Then, she took a few
steps away from it .  An image of Princess Fireball appeared from the
light of the crystal.  She looks at Luna and smiles.
     "Luna . . .how are you and Princess Serenity?"
     Luna puts her head down. "I am fine but Serenity is in bad shape I'm
afraid.  We have been viciously attacked by a kingdom that calls itself
the Dark Reign.  Serenity was serverly her in a battle with the queen of
the Dark Reign.  Her life is hanging on a thread.  We need your help."
     Princess Fireball is surprised by the words of the black cat. "Luna,
my court and I will do anything we can to help you.  Tell me what you need
and it is yours"
     "I would like the Starlights to come to Earth and protect Usagi while
Prince Seji and the court retrieve an item from Limbo."
     Princess Fireball replies, "Prince Seji ?!"
     "Oh yes," Luna says in her absence of information for Princess
Fireball. "One of the only good things about this situation is that the
Moon Prince, Serenity's brother has been found.  Some members of his own
court are here too but many of Serenity's court has lost their powers.
One member has died, SailorstarPluto."
     Princess Fireball's mouth dropped.  She then shakes her head out of
the shocking trance of the news and comments, "Don't worry Luna!  I will
send the Starlights post haste.  I will also go to Earth but later on.
Don't worry, we will do all we can. Princess Fireball out!"      
     
     At the Tsukino house, all of the senshi, except Sailorio, are waiting
for Ami and Hotaru to finish with their operating on Usagi.  Mamoru and
Ako have not leave Usagi's side, for they were helping out in the
operation too.  Seji, Tenchi and Makoto were filling in Yojiryu on the
situation. Mina was with Luna and Yuuniko talking to Rei, calming her down
from the revelation that Seyuto, now called Yojiryu, was her cousin in her
life as the Princess of Mars.  Michiru and Haruka were comforting
Chibi-usa.  Artemis stood by the room in which Usagi was being operated
in.
     Ami and Hotaru were just trying to close her wound and the ripped
flesh from her losing her wing to Lady Malevolence.  Mamoru and Ako were
helping Usagi but using telepathy to keep her calm as well as out of pain.
Ako used her nerve Shock earlier to numb Usagi's pain centers.  It worked.
Seji gazed into the room.  A tear fell from his eye.  He had just recently
found his sister, Usagi or really Princess Serenity of the moon Kingdom.
He began to pace as Tenchi and Makoto were talking to Yojiryu.  Seji was
waiting for Guardian Hades to return.  Seji knew that Guardian Hades was
the only person that could get them to Limbo.  With Dreadlox now having
the full Tripod of Power, the world was losing its balance quickly.  
     Seji mumbles, "Where* is* he?"
     Then in a flash of light, Guardian Hades appeared.  He was still in
his full Guardian Senshi uniform.  It seemed weird to Seji that Hades
didn't seem to have much of a life outside being a senshi.  Seji pulled
those thoughts aside. 
     "Well. . . can we get going?" impatiently inquires Seji, still paces
with his arms folded in back of him.
     Guardian Hades replies, "Yes.  Soon as we have a group ready to go."
     Haruka and Michiru walked into the room as soon as Guardian Hades
appeared.
     Haruka exclaims, "What do you *mean* group?  We're all going!"
     Guardian Hades says flatly, "That is not a good idea.  Limbo is
treacherous. Only the senshi with powers may go.  Still, with the Moon
Princess in her condition, she will need protection."
     Haruka yells, getting closer to Hades, " We ain't going?!  What the
hell do I look like, some dead cat in the middle of the road."
     "Thanks for the comment Haruka," Luna snaps.
     Seji goes up to Haruka. "I am sorry.  This mission is just too
dangerous for you with out your powers. It dangerous for the ones who are
going as it is without having you trying to play hero.  I have chosen a
team to go while the others are gonna stay here."
     Makoto asks, "Who's gonna go?"
     Rei comes up murmuring, " I'm *not*."
     Makoto says, " You sure Rei?"
     Seji interjects, "She right!  She's staying here.  Usagi will need
her here.  The team who is going will transform and meet me outside in ten
minutes.  The ones who stay will protect Usagi with some special help Luna
called."
     Yuuniko inquires, "What help Seji?"
     Three young men walk in the door with Artemis.  They all had pony
tails in the back and were tall.  "Hello what's going on?" says the man
with silver hair.
     Haruka and Michiru exclaim in unison, "The STARLIGHTS?!?!'
     Taiki says, "Hey Haruka-san, Michiru-san!"
     Seiya asks in concern, "Where's Odango?"
     Michiru points to the living room.  Seiya sees Usagi, on the couch
with Ami putting bandages on her body.  Hotaru goes out of the room.
     Hotaru comments to the Starlights, "Hello Seiya! Taiki! Yaten! Excuse
me. I am very tire."
     Seiya yells, "What happened to her?!"
     Seji states, "A long story.  You must be SailorStarfighter!"
     "You must be the Moon Guardian.  You look a lot like Usagi," replies
Seiya.
     Haruka cuts in, "They are here to help you all."
     Tenchi comes up, "No Haruka!  They are here to protect Usagi while
the rest of us are in Limbo!"
     Seji clears his throat. "Which was what I was about to say.   I am
dividing the senshi into two groups.  One goes to Limbo, the other stays
here.  Those of us going to Limbo are Makoto, Hades, Yuuniko, Hotaru,
Yojiryu, Ako, Chibi-usa and myself.  The Starlights, Rei, Tenchi, Mamoru
and the rest of you stay here. Is that clear?"
     Haruka banged the wall next to her while Michiru kissed her on the
cheek. The Starlights too potions outside the living room.  Ami ran up and
yelled, "Wait! I'll need Hotaru here."
     Seji says, "I need her too Ami.  We will need Saturn if we are to
survive in Limbo."
     "Seji . . .she is what is helping your sister to stay alive. I may
need her here," Ami replies.
     Taiki says to her, "Maybe I can help. Take me too her."
     Seiya tries to follow Taiki in only to be stopped by Haruka. "Oh no
you don't.  The last thing we need is for you to start a soap opera in
there with Mamoru.  You stay here."
     In the castle of the Dark Reign, Prince Neron is making himself at
home.  Lord Dreadlox had assigned him quarters and a job as his new
advising chancellor.  He looked around the room, seeing the darken
decaying walls.  He grinned thinking that Lord Dreadlox is trying to prove
himself master over him.  How mistaken he is Prince Neron thought.  He sat
on a bed when Syrin showed up.  Syrin had a weird smile on his face.
     "Lord Dreadlox wishes me to inform you to enter the throne room
immediately. He wishes to talk about the next wave of attack on Earth,"
Syrin says.  Her voice is cracking in nervous pressure. Neron takes note
of this.
     Prince Neron says, "My dear . . .you wish not to fear me but you do.
I have done nothing to provoke such fear from you.  Don't fear me unless
*I * want you to."
     Syrin gives an expression of being found out.  She feels striped of
some disguise she has on.  She then turns and walks away.  As she does,
Phobia appears.
     "Prince Neron . . .you talk of fear. But do you comprehend it?  Syrin
does fear you  but you will find that everyone does not," Phobia states in
a cocky manner.
     Prince Neron smiles vaguely in amusement.  "So Phobia . . .the
Acolyte of fear announcing that Syrin is scare off me and you are not, I
suppose."
     Phobia bites her lower lip. "Fear is my specialty.  Why should I be
afraid of anything when I can control and distort fear itself."
     "You *fear* Sailortitan," blunt decrees Prince Neron, displaying a
grin once more.
     Phobia turns like a blazing fire. "How DARE you tell me I fear
Titan?!  I am her Bane!!"
     "Really?  Is that what happened last time you fought her?  Is that
why she won over you one again?  Tell me Phobia, does one such as you
control fear like that to only lose or is it that you know you can't beat
her?" 
     Phobia tries to slap the Prince of the Dark Kingdom only to fail in
her task.  He pulls her towards him in an aggressive embrace.  "Fight
yourself all you want.  You will see that no one can truly fear nothing. "
     Phobia exclaims, "Watch yourself carefully!  Or you will find your
fears will consume you."
     "Just like yours consume you in your obsession," Prince Neron says as
he leaves for the throne room.  Phobia disappear in her heated emotion.
     Prince Neron enters the throne room.  Hyperion is there with Tempest
and Syrin.  Syrin steps back behind Tempest as the Prince gazes at her.
The prince looks up at Lord Dreadlox, who is sitting on his throne.
     "Prince Neron, Hyperion has decided to take Tempest and Syrin on this
mission on Earth.  Can you tell us what to expect?" Lord Dreadlox
announced sternly.  He still wishes to maintain his power over his
subjects.
     Prince Neron states, "Hyperion made a good choice in Tempest but not
in Tempest.  If you want to humble the senshi more , her should have
Arctica with him.  The senshi that are left are more susceptible to
Arctica than Syrin.  SailorstarSaturn and Ultra-Majestic Sailormoon would
fall easily under a combined force of hot and cold.  Plus add the
elemental abilities of Tempest, the destruction of Tokyo and the Senshi
would be too much for them to stand.  Syrin is better suited here for the
time being."
     Lord Dreadlox puts his hand under his chin.  After a few moments,
Lord Dreadlox made his decision.  "Syrin . . .Prince Neron has a point.
You will stay behind at the moment.  Arctica will go in your stead."
     Syrin objects. "But my lord. . ."
     Lord Dreadlox stares at Syrin in grim disappointment. "You wish to
question me."
     Syrin shakes her head in disagreement.  She knows that question Lord
Dreadlox now would only bring her death.  Hyperion steps forward in front
of his master. "My lord, I shall get Arctica immediately."
     "Excellent. After you do, you will go to Earth and destroy the rest
of the senshi."
     Syrin glances at Prince Neron in anger.  Prince Neron's eyes turn
bright red.  Syrin shutters for a second then teleports out of the throne
room.  Prince Neron walks out of the throne room with Mayhem looking at
him.  Prince Neron begins to notice that Mayhem is staring at him.  Prince
Neron smiles as him moves past him.  Behind Mayhem, lady Malevolence comes
out and shows her presence in front of the young man.
     "You may have the king wrapped around your figure but *I* am not
impressed by you.  You may know a lot and have said that you have freed us
but I know it is a lie.  It was the power of the Dark Reign that freed us
to come back to Earth, not you," Lady malevolence snapped at Prince Neron.
     Prince Neron states, "You really want to believe that, don't you?
Just like Lord Dreadlox really believes that you wish to be faithful to
him. My lady, learn that I am a person to be reckoned with carefully or
shall I tell Lord Dreadlox of your flirtations with Mayhem?"  Prince Neron
smirked masterfully as he went back towards his quarters.
     Lady Malevolence only stood in silence and disbelief of what Prince
Neron had just said.   She thought to herself I have to get rid of him
before he ruins everything, but how?

              
     The others who were going to Limbo were preparing to depart.  They
all arrived outside and transformed.
     Seji: "Galactic Lunar  Power!"
     Chibi-usa: "Moon Universal Angel Power!!"
     Hotaru: "Saturn Crystal Power!"
     Yojiryu: "Ares Nova Power!"
     Yuuniko: "Andromeda Imperial Power!!"
     Ako: "Titan Imperial Power!!"
     Makoto: "Jupiter Crystal Power!!"
     Guardian Hades took out his staff.  On the top was a blade of
incredible power.  Hades closed his eyes and a portal appeared.  The seven
other senshi looked at all the others on the porch.  Michiru and Mina  ran
up to the them all. Haruka , Rei , Tenchi, Yaten and Seiya watched on the
porch but soon joined the others in saying their good-byes.
     Seiya goes to Moon Guardian stating, "Be careful in Limbo.  There is
too much at stake here for you not to succeed."
     "You don't have to remind me," starts Moon Guardian, "Take care of
her . . .of both of them."
     Seiya nods his head in agreement. " I will." The two guys shook hands
after their discussion.
     Mina ended with Makoto saying, "You had better come back in one
piece. You owe me a cooking lesson."
     Makoto began to cry. She smiled saying, "I will! I promise!"
     Tenchi and Rei went over to see Yojiryu.  Tenchi starts with,
"Listen, be careful over there.  You did just come back yesterday."
     "I know. I know.  Since when have you always been the father of this
group little man?" Yojiryu said with a grin.
     Tenchi gets a little tense and says, "Oh! Just be safe."
     Rei goes to him next. "I know I am the last person you expected to
see . . ."
     Yojiryu comments, breaking in between Rei's sentence, " You ain't
your highness!"
     Rei got steamed and shouted, "Why are you always such a pain in the .
. ."
     "But I appreciate your support . . .cousin," Yojiryu says,
interrupting Rei once more.
     Rei smiles and hugs Yojiryu. "Be careful. There is a lot to talk
about." 
     Michiru went over to the Hotaru last. Michiru looked deep into the
eyes of the girl she considered her daughter. "Be careful. Listen to
Chibi-usa and Seji! And . . ." Hotaru looked at Michiru. "Oh!" Michiru
embraced the young Hotaru, like a mother to her child.  
     The senshi entered the portal. Before Hotaru went in she said to
Michiru, "Bye . . . Michiru-mama!!"  She went into the portal with the
others. Michiru stood there , crying.  Haruka came behind her and held her
shaking body.  They looked at each other, not talking.  They knew what
they thought though.  There was a chance that they would never see Hotaru
again. 
          
       
 NEXT: Seji's group enters Limbo only to find more trouble than ever.
Mean time, Rei, Tenchi and the Starlights go into action against not one,
not two but three Acolytes!  And more on Iesha and Sailorio.
