The Solar Sailor Senshi and two remaining Sun Soldiers 
stood there in disbelief. The events that took place moments 
before. Kuraikos used their powers to capture Solar Sailor Moon. 
The only one with her two sisters Sailor Sun and Sailor Solar 
capable of lighting up the Earth with the most holy light of all, 
Sunlight. Now they took her to endure the most horrible hardship 
of all. Solitude, Sorrow, Despair, and Fear only existed in the 
Room of Eternal Darkness. Nothing good existed there, only evil. 
The most horrible thought came in mind of the Soldiers of Serenity, 
She that had lit up their lives, had left them in darkness as well.

"There is nothing else we can do here." 

Celestial Sailor Earth spoke, 

"Let us talk it over a way to rescue her from the darkness 
before it is too late."

All of them left for the Hikawa Shrine.

In space...

Kuraikos appeared before the Darkness Master with Solar 
Sailor Moon.

"Well done. You have her. Place her in the Room of 
Eternal Darkness." 

The Darkness Master commanded him.

"Yes sir." 

He answered him.

Kuraikos placed Solar Sailor Moon that was still unconscious in 
the Room of Eternal Darkness and shut the door to the room. Once 
the door shut, it disappeared so there would be no escape for her. 
Kuraikos returned to his master.

"Well done." 

The Darkness Master spoke, 

"Now go to Earth and tell those Soldiers eventually what will 
happen to their Princess." 

The Darkness Master commanded him.

"Yes sir." 

Kuraikos obeyed his master. Then he vanished.

At the Hikawa Shrine...

Haruka felt bad. Her attacks was not to touch 'her Princess.' 
She felt very guilty. Even Ami was having difficulty controlling 
her emotions. Rei suppressed her tears in. Her most of all knew 
that her attack never meant to harm The Princess. However, the 
attacks hit Solar Sailor Moon and led to her enslavement by 
the Dark Youmas. Kuraikos appeared.

"Hey! Get lost!" 

Naru snarled.

"Shut up and listen of what I have to tell you. The Darkness 
Master has granted me to tell you what will come to your Princess. 
Now that she is in the Eternal Room of Darkness, she will have 
three days of power by her broach. It will sustain her for that 
length of time, however after that, she then will face the true 
evils of that room. Solitude, Sorrow, Despair, and Fear she 
will only feel now. After the three days, the Sun Crystal and 
the Moon Crystal will be powerless against the Eternal Darkness. 
Eventually she will die for her deeds, because she killed our clan. 
We will not forgive her for it. Farewell!" 

After Kuraikos said that, he vanished.

"How horrible!" 

Haruka spoke with horror.

"There is still hope." 

Ami replied, 

"The ones was have forgotten..."

What did Ami mean by that? Maybe she meant the Starlights. 
What were they doing now? Would they see the Starlights again? 
Yes, they will. The Prophecy says so.

In space somewhere...


Seiya looked up in the sky.

"What is wrong Seiya?" 

The Kakyuu Princess asked her.

"I feel it. Something on Earth has changed for the worse." 

Seiya spoke softly, 

"I hope Odango is happy on Earth with her boyfriend." 

Seiya continued.

"Seiya? You sense trouble on Earth." 

Taiki asked.

"All I know, something changed some how. I must go there to 
investigate it!" 

Seiya proclaimed.

"We will go with you." 

Yaten replied, 

"We must stay together."

"Then go to Earth Starlights and report to me what happened there." 

The Kakyuu Princess commanded them.

"Thank you Princess!" 

They thanked her.
The Starlights disappeared into beams of light and 
headed to Earth.


Meanwhile in the Room of Eternal Darkness...

Solar Sailor Moon began to recover from her unconsciousness. 
When she woke up, she thought she was seeing things, and then 
she realized that she was somewhere else then where she had been.

"Minna! Where are you?" 

Solar Sailor Moon voice called out to the uncaring room however 
only her voice echo returned.

"No. It cannot be true." 

She spoke to herself. She began to shed tears. She did not 
deserve this. She always filled with happiness, now only sadness.
She continued to cry out in anguish. The very dark piercing room 
was too much for her to bear. She continued to cry throughout 
the day.

At the Hikawa Shrine...

"She is awake." 

Nissha spoke softly.

"Is she okay?" 

Rei asked.

"Her broach healed her wounds, but she is crying. 
She feels alone." 

Taiyo added.

"Does she hate us for us attacking her?" 

Haruka asked.

"She does not blame you nor does she hates you." 

Nissha replied.

Naru sat on the steps thinking what had happened that day. 
Then Naru felt something. She quickly transformed into Princess 
Naruko. Then the Starlights appeared.

"HALT!" 

Princess Naruko commanded them, 

"YOU VISITORS FROM ANOTHER SOLAR SYSTEM, I GUARD THE 
EARTH FROM INTRUDERS! LEAVE!"

"We only came because we felt something had changed here." 

Seiya answered.

"YES SOMETHING HAS CHANGED! THE SUN MOON CHILD HAS BEEN TAKEN 
AWAY FROM THE EARTH AND ENGULFED IN DARKNESS!" 

Princess Naruko told them the news about Usagi.

"She speaks in riddles!" 

Yaten replied.

"Wait." 

Seiya spoke, 

"Sun Moon Child captured? The only person I know of that 
could fit that description is... OH! MY GOD, NOT 
SAILOR MOON, TELL ME THIS IS NOT TRUE."

"Yes. The enemy now enslaves Sailor Moon. On the other hand, 
should I say Solar Sailor Moon! She is in a room of Eternal 
Darkness. There she only knows sorrow. Are you here to hurt 
the Earth or to save it? I will transform to reveal your true 
nature!" 

Princess Naruko spoke harshly.

"Princess Naruko! No!" 

Rei told her.

"Stay out of this! They are on trial!" 

Princess Naruko spoke, 

"Earth Celestial Power! Make Up!"

Princess Naru transformed into Celestial Sailor Earth. Her 
transformation stick turned into the Earth Staff.

"I am the Soldier of Nature, Pain, Suffering, and Healing! 
I am Celestial Sailor Earth!"

The Starlights were shocked to see this new Sailor Senshi.

"We are here to help save Usagi Tsukino from what enslaves 
her." 

Seiya spoke softly.

Celestial Sailor Earth placed her hand on the ground.

"I understand." 

Celestial Sailor Earth replied. Then she turned towards 
the Starlights, 

"I believe you. Forgive me. I guard the Earth from evildoers. I 
had to make sure you are our allies or our enemies. You are here 
to rescue the Princess. You have the gift of songs, do you not? 
Yes. The Earth told me you were here before and you helped our 
Princess. The Earth says thank you for looking after its special 
child." 

Celestial Sailor Earth told them.

The Starlights were shocked.

"Usagi is the Earth's special child." 

Seiya thought.

"Yes." 

Celestial Sailor Earth replied as she detransformed and 
returned as Naru, 

"The Earth considers her special because she protects the Earth 
and the Sun Moon Princess lives on Earth now." 

Naru explained why the Earth loves Usagi most.

"Oh." 

The Starlights replied.

"Usagi's sisters: Nissha is Sailor Sun and Taiyo is Sailor Solar, 
all three of them are Sun Soldiers. They are to remain united so 
they can light up the Earth with Sunlight and defeat the 
Dark Youmas." 

Naru explained to them about Usagi's sisters and who they where.

"Hi, I am Nissha! If you wish to reach our Princess from the 
Room of Darkness, you must use 'Sun Moon Princess' in your 
songs to completely reach her." 

Nissha replied.

"Well then, it is time to arrange a concert!" 

Seiya spoke.

"Yes, let us do it." 

Taiki agreed.

"For the Sun Moon Princess!" 

Yaten also agreed.

"For Solar Sailor Moon!" 

The Starlights yelled cheerfully.

Now is time to rescue Solar Sailor Moon!
