Yumi was taking a break from her life on Earth and had returned to her planet of Aqua. The sky, slightly purple on her planet, shone the two moons that orbited Aqua. One moon was deemed forbidden and another dormant, yet both so eerie in thought, shone with awe. Yumi had finished her household shores, since she had not been home in over three months, when she decided to grab something to eat from her favorite quick store. She grabbed her purse and headed to the elevator that brought her to the ground floor 12 floors below. When she exited her building, something from the purple sky caught her eye that did not belong. A large mass being trailed with a bright green glaze shot from north to south across the sky.

“What the…” Yumi thought to herself. 

Yumi, being the curious alien that she was, simply had to investigate. She darted between her apartment and an adjacent building and transformed into Sailor Splash. Now in this form, Sailor Splash had the ability to fly. A cord of electric formed from her left wrist, where the Gem of Aqua laid inside her body, to her back where holographic glowing wings buzzing with energy formed. In a blink, Sailor Splash was flying and quickly caught up to the mass in the sky.

The mass, rather a humanoid, looked at her and smirked. In the unknown humanoids hand was an object mysterious to Sailor Splash. In fact, it was this object that was radiating the green glow that trailed the humanoid. Before Sailor Splash could react, a mass bust of energy shot from the object and her wings vanished. This object voided all power, including her ability to fly by the humanoid.



Sailor Splash blacked out and crashed into the ground.

Back in Tokyo on Earth, Makoto was in her apartment flipping through a catalogue on her couch. After spending a few hours straightening up her living space, she wanted to find a new plant pot to replace an older, cracked one she had discovered earlier.

When Sailor Splash was defeated, a strange feeling briefly washed over her. The gardening magazine fell to the floor as Mako processed it. Something was off...

Standing up quickly, Mako grabbed her transformation stick and held it above her head.

"Jupiter Crystal Power, Make up!" As soon as she was in Senshi form, the feeling got stronger. Sailor Jupiter focused on it as hard as she could and willed herself to go there. In a flash of green light, she teleported away to Aqua.

Michiru sat on the shore of the local beach, smiling as children around squealed in delight when the gentle waves rolled over their feet.  The gentle breeze and blue skies were the perfect conditions for some relaxation.  With a sigh of content, the aqua-haired woman leaned back on her beach chair and closed her eyes. 

The sound of the calm ocean halted, and a scream was heard.  Michiru's eyes shot open to find a child had been slammed to the sandy floor by a wave.  The once-calm ocean was roaring in Michiru's mind, and she knew there was trouble.  The ocean only grew this wild when one of two things happen: the Princess is in danger, or a warrior of the water element was in danger.  Something told her that Usagi wasn't in danger, so it must be a fellow warrior of water.

As fast as her legs could carry her, Michiru ran away from the crowd at the beach and into a nearby alleyway, pulling her transformation pen from her purse and holding it high into the air. 

"Neptune Planet Power, Make-Up!"

In a flurry of teal-colored light, she transformed into Sailor Neptune.  Now in her stronger form, Neptune closed her eyes and channeled the frantic energy she was receiving from the ocean.  Her eyes snapped open in surprise.

"Aqua," she whispered.  In a flash, she was sailing through the skies to the planet of her fellow Sailor Splash.

VesVes, meanwhile, was in Crystal Tokyo playing video games at an old arcade. The redhead was alone at this time, but she didn't mind--she was having plenty of fun racking up points on this game. That is, until she felt something rather odd.
With a jolt, Ves let go of the controls, costing her the game and a new high score, but she wasn't paying attention. Something was definitely wrong. Without a word, she paid the worker there and slid out of the arcade, ducking into an alleyway before raising her transformation stick and shouting,
"VESTA ASTEROID POWER, MAKE UP!"
The feeling was definitely there, and although she couldn't pinpoint it exactly, she knew someone was in trouble. With a flash of scarlet, she teleported herself to the planet Aqua.

Minako was having a solo concert in her room. She also had a solo audience; Artemis. Not that she particularly cared about that. Despite his annoyed face, she kept singing with all her heart, pouring all of her spirit into the song like she would with a large audience. As she was belting the last note with fervor, intending to hold it as long as possible (or until Artemis begged her to stop), suddenly a powerful feeling washed over her, cutting her off mid-note.

Nearly dropping her mic (her hairbrush really), Minako blinked in surprise, her mouth still open but no sound came out anymore. Artemis, sensing her change, looked at her worriedly. “Minako, are you okay?” he asked.

Minako’s demeanor had changed completely. All playfulness gone, she put down the hairbrush and grabbed her Crystal Change Rod instead. “Something’s wrong,” she said by way of explanation, before quickly summoning her other form. “Venus Crystal Power, Make Up!” she called out. As the lights bathed her and transformed her into Sailor Venus, she was already transporting herself to Aqua despite Artemis’ barrage of questions.

“I’m going to be fine, don’t worry! Be back soon. There’s cat food on the shelf, and I even put your tiny fork there too!”

Her voice was the only thing that kept echoing in the room when her whole body vanished.

It was her day off, and Myrina planned to enjoy it to the best of her ability. Though she only worked part-time, she still had school to worry about as well. So it was nice to have her day off from work and school coincide with one another, and to be caught up on her homework. It was not an every day occurrence, and she was going to make the best of it.

She had awoken up far later in the day than she had wanted to, but it felt good to be able to sleep in for so long. Myrina stretched out in her bed, blinking the sleep from her eyes. The sun was bright against the curtains of her window, and she guessed that it was nearly noon by now.

Sitting up in her bed, Myrina idly wondered what she should do first. She had some extra money saved up that she was eager to spend on something nice, but there was also the allure of a nice hot bath.

As she debated lazily with herself, a feeling struck her, leaving Myrina feeling disorientated and clutching at her chest. What was that? All she knew was that she was needed somewhere. It was coming from a planet called Aqua, and more specifically, the senshi who presided over it.

Standing up, Myrina closed her eyes and focused her own power, and replied to the sense of danger she was feeling. A moment later, in a burst of golden sparkles, Sailor Bellatrix teleported to Aqua, intent to help her fellow senshi.

Yumi, no longer in her Senshi form, laid in the middle of a Crystal Forest. This forest was located just outside her city, and it twinkled n the distance from the cities skyline. The crystal forest, was compiled of regular trees, just like on Earth, but the leaves glistened in and form of light, much like crystal. The reflection of light bouncing from leaves was what finally awoken Yumi. The dancing of rainbows and brightness flashed at Yumi's face, causing her to grumble and cover her face. She thought this was the morning light shining through her window, but when she rolled over, her elbow caught the sharpness of a pointed twig. Yumi quickly shot up and gasped as she recalled the previous nights events.

Read:

Sailor Neptune's figure appeared in the sky above Aqua, falling at a quick pace towards a crystal forest.  She landed smoothly on her feet and looked around.  The forest was beautiful, but she was confused as to why she had landed in this location.  Looking around, she noticed an unfamiliar girl lying on the ground a few feet away.  Neptune regained her calm composure and approached the girl, figuring there was a reasonable explanation.  It was all she could do not to explode in a flurry of questions and hysterics, for she was worried about Sailor Splash.

Sailor Jupiter ended up teleporting a few feet above the treeline, and she easily caught a branch to stop her fall. She jumped from shining branch to branch until she touched down on the forest floor. The Crystal Forest was amazing, and Jupiter walked through the woods just taking the sight in before she saw a shape falling from the sky to a place up ahead. She ran off in the direction of Yumi and Neptune, assuming the trouble was there. She met up with the other two ready for a fight, the lightning rod already extended from her tiara and her fists clenched as she skidded to a stop.

"Yumi!" she said, recognizing the girl on the floor from Yumi's earlier visit to Earth. She was already crossing the distance to help her up when she realized there was another senshi. "Neptune? How did you get here? Did you sense something weird too?" Jupiter asked.

Jennifer DuPont was busy in her office, winding down her calculating earnings from the most recent quarter. She was tired from this long day and wanted to relax in a warm bath when she got home. Suddenly, she felt a sudden wave of dread and helplessness from somewhere familiar, but it took her awhile to figure out where it was coming from.

"Oh my god, Sailor Splash! What's happened?" Jennifer said to herself. Splash must be in a really bad situation. She could take the rest of this work with her, after becoming Sailor Biz, she started working on her tablet and managed with some success to put her corporate work on the device, so she felt she would be okay. It was her duty as a Sailor Senshi to balance both the responsibilities of her senshi and work lives.

She picked up her stuff and went out of the office early, telling the secretary that she wasn't feeling well. She then walked behind her office and pulled out her henshin stick under her coat, and uttered her transform phrase "Biz Power Make-Up!" As Jennifer said that, a flow of pink light encased her, her work clothes transforming into a black and pink Sailor Fuku as the flow of light caused her to teleport.

"One of these days my co-workers are going to wonder where this flow of pink light keeps coming from. But I can't worry about that, especially now. Sailor Splash did so much for us when we went to her planet, I owe it to her to help her again." Sailor Biz said as she landed in a forest, similar to the ones at earth. Looking around and on her guard, she noticed two people, a woman in a Sailor Fuku she recongized as Sailor Neptune and what appeared to be her friend, Yumi.

"Yumi!" Biz screamed as she ran toward her. Noticing Sailor Neptune, she assumed Neptune didn't know who this girl was, so hopefully it would be easy to explain.

It was a tree that Sailor Vesta landed in. She tried to land on her feet but slipped, luckily grabbing onto a branch in time. She pulled herself up, looking down on the forest from her vantage point.
Why did she land in a forest?
She had no idea, but it was definitely an unusual forest. "Wow," Vesta breathed as she looked around the area, taking notice of the shimmer of the leaves. But then, she remembered the feeling of peril that caused her to teleport here in the first place, and leapt out of the tree. It didn't take her very long to find the girl on the ground. She didn't recognize her, but she did recognize the fact that she wasn't the only Senshi here--Neptune and Jupiter have also arrived, as well as a few others. Vesta dashed to the scene. "What's going on? Is she okay?" she asked, turning to Jupiter and Neptune.

Neptune turned at the sound of Jupiter's voice, and saw that she had joined her in the forest, and others were following.  They all must have felt the same distressed energy that called them to Aqua.  

Jupiter seemed to know this girl, as did  Sailor Biz, who joined soon after.  Neptune and Vesta seemed to be the only ones confused.  

"I felt the disturbance in the sea, and it called me here.  Do you know this girl?" Neptune said, in response to Jupiter's question.

Sailor Jupiter looked surprised when she saw Sailor Vesta there as well. What was a member of the Sailor Quartet doing in the past?


"I'm not really sure, I just felt like I needed to be here," Jupiter answered Vesta.

"We fought together a few times in Tokyo," she said to Neptune before joining Biz in helping Yumi.

Venus arrived in the middle of a glistening forest. She narrowed her eyes against the glare of lights until her eyes adjusted, wondering briefly if she’d somehow ended up in Crystal Tokyo. Which was absurd, because she most certainly hadn’t traveled in time. Still, her surroundings reminded her of the future city. Hearing noises up ahead, she rushed quickly toward it, and found a group of senshi. She recognized Jupiter and Neptune, but for some reason Vesta was alone without her sisters or Chibi Moon. This was a strange group indeed; and that was not mentioning the two unfamiliar people, one in senshi fuku and one in civilian form.

Listening to the others talk, she watched as the others helped the civilian girl to her feet. “Does anyone know where we are?” she asked, curious.

When she materialized once more, Bellatrix frowned at her surroundings. A crystalline forest? Was such a thing even possible? The way everything glistened and sparkled made it appear to be beautiful, however, so the strangeness of it all didn't seem to matter much. She continued to look over the environment, until she heard voices.

Glancing over, she saw a group of assembled senshi, together with a couple of girls who were not senshi. Bellatrix walked over to them all as she listened to the others as they spoke. She didn't know their names, but she knew that they were allies.

In response to the latest question, Bellatrix shook her head. "The only thing I know is that this is the planet Aqua. But as to specifics, I have no idea."

"Yumi? That's your name?" Neptune asked the girl.  Before waiting for a response, she continued, "Can you tell us where we are?  And have you seen the sailor scout of this planet, Sailor Splash?"

Zelena was flying around the city looking at all the residents of this 'Earth'. She still hadn't really adjusted to living on this planet fully. Her and her sister had learned tips and tricks for surviving, but it was still strange to see people and objects that were massive! It always amazed her how different things were here from her home planet.

She flew down to a branch to watch the sunset. The pretty hues of pinks, yellows, purples all bleeding together enamored her. It was so gorgeous! Zelena was just about to go back to exploring, when she suddenly got a sharp pain. It made her fall back down on to the branch. What the heck? Zelena thought. She didn't know what it was...or why she was getting it, but it resonated within her that someone was in danger. From a planet called Aqua? It was calling to her to come save their senshi.

Zelena thought about it for a moment. She didn't really want to go and leave her sister alone here....but it was calling her. The planet was begging for help. She couldn't ignore that request.

"Ruby Tajulé Power, Make Up!" She soon emerged as Sailor Lunar Eclipse. Focusing on the planet, she flexed her wings and started to quickly flew to the planet in need.
------------------------
The overwhelming feeling got worse and worse the closer she flew to the planet. She knew she was there when the feeling got even worse. It almost gave her a headache. She quickly moved over treetops and lakes, searching for the one in danger. She soon came to a forest that seemed to be frozen? The leaves were glistening in the light, casting rainbows all over. The loud pounding suddenly stopped and she knew this was were she was needed. Lunar Eclipse flew lower to better investigate and find the girl she was searching for. She saw some people from the distance and quickly made her way over to them. There was a few people surrounding a girl. She didn't recognize any of them.

"Uuuh....hello?" Lunar Eclipse said, trying to sound friendly. She hated talking to people.

"Yumi? That's your name?" Neptune asked the girl.  Before waiting for a response, she continued, "Can you tell us where we are?  And have you seen the sailor scout of this planet, Sailor Splash?"

Yumi, still in a daze, began hearing voices. These voices sounded familiar, and some sounded new. Once her vision returned, she saw Sailor Neptune looking at her. Slowly her three images of a blue wavy haired girl turned into one. Yumi processed her question again then looked around at her surroundings before deciding on an answer.

"That would be me." Yumi replied with a grin. She slowly stood up, and whipped some dirt off of her pants. She had a few cuts on her bare arms and her hair was far from being neat. Yumi had decided it was safe to reveal her true identity since it was obvious her Gem of Aqua had summoned those deemed fit to come to Yumi's aid.

Yumi looked towards the sky in a sudden jolt, making it obvious she had recalled something from her past nights memories. The sun was rising, and the dark sky no longer remained. Whatever it was that Yumi saw the previous night had obviously vanished.

"Thank you." Yumi said as she once again turned her attention to those who came to protect her. "Last night, something appeared in the sky's of Aqua that did not belong. I got too close,and whatever it was overpowered me with incredible ease. I lost all power and blacked out.... I guess I crashed here." Yumi said jokingly as she pointed to the spot she had awoken in. The ground where she once laid had a small crater like imprint from her impact.

Neptune, concerned, placed a gentle hand on Yumi's shoulder.  "I understand you must be just as confused as we are, but would you happen to know where this is, and why we have been called here?" Naptine asked.  She tried not to talk too fast, for it seemed that Yumi was still a bit disoriented.  Looking behind her, Neptune glanced at every face watching them.  There were familiar and unfamiliar faces, but Neptune had a feeling that they would all grow to be close accomplices within a matter of hours.

Jupiter watched the sky carefully, as if expecting something at any moment.

"I don't see anything right now, but whatever attacked you might show up again. What did it look like?" she asked.

Since Yumi didn't address Sailor Biz directly, Biz felt that she would have to eventually bring up the adventure she, Yumi and a few other wonderful senshi had gone on. However she was still concerned that Sailor Splash was overpowered so easily, this looked like another situation where numerous, powerful senshi would be needed. Jupiter had already asked the question regarding what this thing had looked like, so she would wait for Yumi to respond.

Sailor Splash and the others had retreated from the Crystal Forest. They agreed to stay low key until the following night in their civilian forms because they didn't want to attract the attention of whatever was hovering in the skys of Aqua. Yumi had concluded with her old and new friends that the Gem of Aqua had summoned who it had because it found the power within them most fit for this mission. Whatever algorithm went behind the Gem of Aqua's powerful thought processing, however, was a totally different story and a page for another day. Even Yumi still had dozens of questions burning within her about her planet's precious stone.

When night once again fell, the new assembly of heroines took off into Crystal Forest and remained hidden on a high and isolated cliff. The air was crisp, but not too chilly. Various creatures that lived on the strange planet could be heard in the distance. These noises may have sounded scary to someone who wasn't from this Galaxy, but to Yumi, these chirps, growls, and howls were music to her ears. A simple Yelp, which may sound like a dangerous animal on Earth could simply be coming from something as small as a bug!

At last, around 11pm Earth time, the object appeared in the sky. Yumi transformed into Sailor Splash by throwing out her arm and wishing upon her transformation. Unlike other Senshi, Yumi simply had to think her transaction form instead of shouting. Yumi's wings appeared and before she could take off in flight, creatures appeared next to each Senshi.

****Fight!****
This is where YOU get creative! Each participant may create your own mini monster and fight it however you wish! You have until midnight 6/1 EST to complete this action! 

Don't worry! Your powers work against these monsters!

Myrina had remained quiet throughout most of the other conversations going on. She did not truly know anyone here, and so she felt that it would be better to be silent support until she was more used to her new comrades. The planet they assembled on was so strange, and yet beautiful as well. At times it reminded her of Earth, and at one times, it was distinctly unlike anything she could have imagined.

It was fun to experience it all, at least.

They were once more in the Crystal Forest, and once Myrina had seen Yumi transform, she followed suit. "Bellatrix Star Power, Make Up!" The rush of the transformation took over her, and in only a few moments, she was Sailor Bellatrix once more.

It was just in time, too, as a strange crystalline creature appeared around the group. One had appeared directly in front of her, and it looked as though it had formed from the very forest itself. Its body was reminiscent of a human figure, but it had too many limbs and it was far too angular from the crystal structure. It held a weapon in its hands, one made of sharp sparkling crystal. Empty black sockets were its eyes.

Bellatrix swung her Murzim Spear at the creature, meeting up against its own weapon in a clash of gold and crystal. The creature was fast, but Bellatrix was faster. She ducked its next attack, and moved forward as she jabbed at the chest of the creature. Her aim was true and her spear chipped away at the crystalline flesh, but it did not seem to hurt the creature much, as it was not hindered in any way. It seemed she would have to strike many more times in order to actually injure this thing.

Determined, Bellatrix continued to fight.

Last night had been strange, camping out on Aqua with the other senshi. This planet only faintly resembled Earth, and the wildlife was another story entirely judging by the sounds coming from the forest. Makoto was tempted to break their agreement of staying in civilian forms in case a creature from the woods came up on the cliff side to attack them, but Yumi seemed perfectly relaxed where they were.

When the unknown object was spotted in the sky again the next day, Makoto transformed immediately.

"Jupiter Crystal Power, Make Up!" Monsters of different shapes and sizes surrounded the group of senshi. The one in front of Sailor Jupiter was nine feet tall and looked like a cross between a warrior and a stallion. The centaur creature hefted a large axe in its hands, face obscured by a helmet that left only a pair of glowing eyes to look at.

 It reared like a horse and roared before charging. Its axe came down towards Jupiter's head, but she caught it by the handle with both hands. The centaur struggled to pull away when the antenna on her tiara gathered electricity.

"Supreme Thunder!" Jupiter loosed the attack directly into the beast through the weapon. It convulsed and stumbled backwards on its hooves when she released it, stunned.

As soon as Neptune's eye caught the object in the sky, she stood up, transformed, and summoned her Deep Aqua Mirror.  Holding it firmly in her hand, she prepared herself for the battle that was to come.

A few feet in fromt of her, a small monster began to materialize out of what seemed to be crystal.  In seconds, the monster had taken shape of a deformed lizard.  It stood on four legs, with the back legs shaped like they were made for jumping.  The feet were webbed, and its tail was long and dangerous-looking.  Despite being made of complete crystal, it's facial features were very intricate, revealing sharp teeth and a malicious expression.  It's eyes were small and empty. 

Neptune focused only on the monster, taking in all of its appearance and making mental notes inside of her head.  Unlike her partner, Uranus, she liked to calculate her enemies before making a move.  The crystal lizard began to hop in circles around her, looking for Neptune's weakness.  Fortunately for her, Neptune had the perfect method of finding her foe's weakness.  She held out her mirror at arm's length and shouted:

"Submarine Reflecion!"

The mirror glowed radiantly, aiming a beam of light energy at the creature.  A small pulse in the creature's tail flashed for merely a second, but Neptune spotted it and determined the weakness of her foe.  With her target set, she raised her arms into the air, but was stopped when the momster lunged.  It's sharp teeth grazed Neptune's forearm and she leaped out of the way.  Using her developed reflexes, she spun and nailed the monster in the tail with her foot.  The monster screeched in agony, leaping high into the air.  Neptune took the chance and raised her arms again, ignoring the searing pain as she summoned a large amount of water out of thin air.  The water cumulated in Neptune's hands, forming a giant ball shaped like the planet Neptune.  

"Deep Submerge!"

VesVes spotted the object in the sky not quite immediately, but still fairly soon after it appeared. As she did so, she acted on her first instinct and transformed, not knowing what it would bring.

At this point, creatures descended upon the group. One in particular targeted Vesta, and for a short while both parties sized each other up. It was a grotesque creature, vaguely canine in appearance, and about the size of a coyote. The thing was black, hunched over and emaciated. Its snout was as thin as a pencil, while its yellow eyes narrowed to slits, and its gigantic ears resembled those of a jackrabbit, though pointier. The thing looked so sad and so pathetic that Vesta raised her eyebrows and summoned her whip, ready for an easy fight.

Then the creature let out a high-pitched screech and charged at her with impossible speed. Vesta only dodged the creature's claws just in time. Her expression became a snarl as the whip caught fire.

"SEARING WHIPLASH!" she roared, as the creature charged for another attack. It screeched again as the whip made its mark on its flank and stumbled backwards, tiny yet dagger-like teeth bared in a snarl.

Neptune waited for all of the water to disappear, searching to see if she had gotten rid of her foe.  The crystalline creature lay on the ground, dazed.  It stood and shook itself of the water that had previously overcome it.  Gritting her teeth, Neptune silently cursed.  How much was it going to take to kill this thing?  

The monster began to jump again, creating a pattern around Neptune.  She watched carefully, using her mirror to monitor the monster when it went behind her.  It lunged again, this time spitting something at her at the same instant.  Neptune was only so agile, and she was able to evade the monster, but not its projectile.  The slimy substance coated her wrist, paralyzing it.  Unable to hold her mirror, Neptune was forced to drop her precious talisman to the ground.  Furious, she ran at the monster.  If it was made of crystal, it would shatter.

Neptune released a fury of attacks, kicking and punching the creature with her good hand.  It cried in pain as she nailed it each time.  There were cracks all over its exterior.  

"One last hit," Neptune thought.  With a sharp intake of air, the soldier of the sea spun in a fast circle before roundhouse kicking the creature right in its tail.  The monster let out a high-pitched shriek before shattering into a myriad of pieces.  Seconds later, the feeling in Neptune's hand returned, and she went back for her mirror.
