"Oh come on Serena it can't be that bad! It isn't going to be the end of the world! And besides I'm sure there will be no surprises." Jessica walked down the street with Serena.

Serena looked up at her friend with worried wet eyes. "But you don't know that! What if they accidentally poke the wrong spot and I need to get fake teeth? Or I end up with a really big problem!" Serena continued to walk 
along the side of the road with her head down.

Jessica rolled her eyes and sighed. "Serena it is a dentist for crying out loud! I don't think that you are going to have to worry much! They are professionals. They will do their job right."

"Oh, but . . . but." Serena managed to say through clenched teeth as they continued to get closer to the dentist.

"No buts Serena, you know as well as I do, you have to get a check up or you will be faced with bigger problems later! Now it isn't going to be that bad."

Serena hung her head even lower. They walked into the parking lot of the dentist. "Yeah I guess your right, I should have nothing to fear! They will do a great job! And I have been brushing everyday!" Serena walked towards the dentist with confidence.

When the two girls entered the dentist office a lady at the front desk stood up. "You must be Serena. The doctor is waiting for you. Right this way please."

Serena slowly followed the woman down the hall to the big dentist chair. She looked back at Jessica with worried eyes. Jessica gave Serena a look that said you would be fine.

When the lady came back and sat down she turned to lo9ok at Jessica who was sitting in one of the chairs. "And who might you be? I've never seen you around here before."

Jessica smiled. "I just moved here a couple of months ago. My name is Jessica Walker." Then she went back to the manga that she was reading.

"Well then why don't you come in and get your teeth checked, your mother and father were in the other day and had made an appointment for you this weekend. But since you are here now and we don't have anyone else to be done why don't you come in now."

Jessica looked at the woman behind the big desk. "Ah . . . but . . . I." Then she nodded her head in agreement.

"Well right this way please." The woman walked down the hall that she had taken Serena. Jessica followed slowly, taking as much time as she could.

"Lord Sith come forth, we have a very important matter to discuses!" Queen Hecate sat on her throne. She had fire in her eyes, and her voice was full of anger.

Lord Sith stepped out of a green flame. He bowed before his queen. "I'm very sorry my queen. I was busy coming up with the ultimate plan! I'm sure the plan will work this time for sure!" Lord Sith said with much confidence.

"Now how many times have I heard that before?" The queen asked herself. "Now to get straight to the point. I'm only giving you two more chances, if you screw those up you will become powerless and the scout's will be able to dispose of you easily. So I suggest that you don't screw up, now that you know what your fate is if you do!"

"Yes my queen, I'm very sure that this plan will work very good. It shouldn't fail. I'll be out of here soon enough. I just have to work out a few more details. Then I will be ready to carry out the plan." Lord Sith stood proudly before his queen.

"Yes well you better not fail. Remember I will not give you any more chances then what I have given you. I am being very generous to you, and don't you forget it!" The queen dismissed Lord Sith with a quick wave of her hand.

"Yes my queen, I know that you have been very generous, and now I will be on my way." Lord Sith bowed then disappeared in a green flame.

* * * * *

"So Jessica how did your appointment go? Mine was fine, I have nothing to worry about, just like you said." Serena smiled a big grin to show off her sparkling white teeth.

Jessica walked over to Serena and picked up her coat on the chair beside her friend. "Well I've got two cavities on two of my molars in the back." Jessica said as she walked towards the door. Serena followed at her heals.

"Well that is too bad, I'll come back with you when you have to get them filled if you want." Serena turned to her friend and looked at her with sorry eyes. "That is too bad that you got two cavities, but like you said to me there is nothing to worry about." Serena said optimistically as they walked down the street.

"Hey don't we have to be at Raye's sometime soon?" Jessica asked as she looked over at Serena.

Serena looked at her watch and gasped. "Raye is going to blow a gasket! We were supposed to be there ten minutes ago! Come on we better hurry!" Serena grabbed 
Jessica's arm and pulled her towards the bus stop.

"Now after much searching around, myself, Luna, Artemis and Ami have discovered some very useful information on the Golden Illusion Jewel." Eclipse sat down beside Jessica. Her face became full of wonder and hopefulness. 
Eclipse continued. "We have discovered that the golden Illusion Jewel came from a time known as the Golden Millennium, it was the item that kept this time before the Silver Millennium in peace. But something happened to the jewel and everything began to fall apart, this time was destroyed." Eclipse looked over at Jessica. "There is nothing more on record about this time. That is all we could find for now."

Jessica looked at Eclipse with curious eyes. "Does anyone know where the Golden Illusion Jewel is now?"

Eclipse shook his big black head. "It is not known where the Golden Illusion Jewel went after the fall of the Golden Millennium. But Ami has done some scans of earth. And I believe that she could explain it better then I could." 
Eclipse looked over at Ami who was sitting on Raye' bed with Luna.

"Yes, well I did a scanning of the entire planet and I did come up with the conclusion that the Golden Illusion Jewel is here on earth. I couldn't get a fix on it but I believe that it is in Tokyo somewhere. Maybe inside a 
reincarnated soul of a person or an animal. And we must find it before Queen Hecate. If it falls into the wrong hands then everything will be doomed."

Jessica and the other's all stared at Ami with confused eyes. "So how are we going to find it?" Mina asked as she looked at Ami with curious eyes.

"Well I'm not quite sure." The five other girls all fell to the ground, sweat drops came over their heads.

"Maybe we can try to think of what Queen Hecate will do before she does. You know be one step ahead of her all the time. And that way we can get the Golden Illusion Jewel before her." Serena made herself comfortable on the pink pillow on the floor.

Everyone stared at Serena with wide eyes. Luna was the first to speak. "Well Serena it is head to believe, you have actually come up with a plan that might work!" Luna and the other's were astonished by Serena's suggestion. Luna turned to Ami. "Do a scan of the area to find out where there is a large amount of energy, then we will go there and be ready for Lord Sith."

Ami typed on her computer, and in a short while she got something. "The largest amount of energy that I could find in Tokyo is at the newly opened art gallery down town on Third Street."

"Well then lets get going." Lita suggested as she stood up and ran out the door. The other's followed her.

* * * * *

"This is the perfect place to get enough energy to help the queen with the search of the Golden Illusion Jewel. Now since everything is getting ready to start and all the human's are in the main lobby waiting for the gallery 
to open I will slip in through the back and get ready for the arrivals of the stupid unexacting humans." 

Lord Sith appeared in the main gallery. There were many pictures around the walls. He looked at each one carefully. Then after he had looked at them all he picked two picture's. He through green powder on the ten pictures's that he had chosen. The pictures came to life.

One of the pictures that he had made come to life was a picture of a griffin, and the other was a fire-breathing dragon. "This will work out perfectly. Just as I have hoped that it would."

* * * * *

"Good we aren't too late, Lord Sith isn't even here yet." Jessica said as she and the other's all stepped into the main lobby of the art gallery. "We should look around for him, maybe he is in another part of the building." Jessica suggested as she looked for the doors that led to other parts of the gallery.

"I don't think we can go anywhere else right now, we must wait for the owner of the art gallery to finish his speech." Lita said as she looked at the guards guarding the entrance's to the rest of the building. Some one turned around and shushed the six girls. Their faces went red in embarrassment.

Then there was a lot of clapping and the large doors opened and the many people all crowed into the room where all the art was being kept. "Why don't we hang back from everyone else, encase we have to transform." Raye said as she began to walk slower.

The six girls kept their distance from the large group of people. Then from the room ahead of them screaming man and woman fell to the ground. There was a large dragon and a griffin that flew over the human's darning the energy from whomever they touched.

The six girls ran over to stand behind one of the large stone pillars. They each held their transformation item above their heads and called out their transformation phrase.

"MOON STAR . . . . . POWER!"
"MERCURY STAR . . . . . POWER!"
"MARS STAR . . . . . POWER!"
"JUPITER STAR . . . . . POWER!"
"VENUS STAR . . . . . POWER!"
"SUN STAR . . . . . POWER!"

After each of the girls had finished their transformation and had done their pose they each ran into the art gallery where everyone was being attacked. The two monsters lifted their heads in the direction of the sailor-suited 
girls.

"Attack them!" Lord Sith yelled as he pointed at the six girls that stood in the doorway. The two monsters flew towards the girls. The doors swung shut behind them and the monsters were advancing.

"MERCURY BUBBLES . . . . . BLAST!"

The room became foggy and the two monsters searched around for the girls. As the fog began to clear the six girls came into focus. They had surrounded the two monsters.

"JUPITER THUNDER SHOCK . . . . . ZAP!"

Sailor Jupiter's lightning bolts went straight towards the two monsters, but they had no effect on them what so ever. The dragon turned to face Sailor Jupiter, it opened it large moth and showed it's sharp teeth, from his mouth 
came a large powerful blast of fire knocking her to the ground.

"MARS FLAME THROWER . . . . . BURN!"

Sailor Mars flame-thrower didn't do anything to the two monsters, but it did make them stronger and they threw the fire back at Sailor Mars. She went flying across the room and landed beside Sailor Jupiter.

Sailor Venus hesitated, she didn't want Lord Sith to be punished and killed because he failed again but he did create those monsters that had badly hurt her fellow scouts and friends so she decided that she had no choice. She had no other choice but to use her strongest attack on the two monsters before her. She put her arms out in front of her body and the golden bow appeared in her arms.

"VENUS LOVE ARROW . . . . . STRIKE!"

Sailor Venus fired the two gold and pink arrows at each of the monster's they went straight towards the two monsters, and when it hit them nothing happened. The griffin flapped its wings and Sailor Venus was flung across 
the room.

"This isn't working!" Sailor Venus said as she looked at the two monster's that were still standing and not even hurt one bit. No scratches, nothing!" Jessica said as she stared at the large monsters.

"I have an idea!" Sailor Mercury said as she stepped forward. She held out her hands before her chest. And the words came to her moth without another thought.

"MERCURY WATERFALL . . . . . SPLASH!"

A large waterfall appeared behind the two monster's and they were both knocked to the ground, they both began to lose their form, the water was making the paint that they were made from go runny causing the two monster's to become powerless and unable to use their powers.

Sailor Moon then stepped forward she put her hand up into the air and her Moon Scepter appeared.

"MOON SCEPTER . . . . . BANISH!"

The pink and blue energy went around the two monsters and it blasted them back to the picture's that they had come from. Lord Sith looked at the three standing girls. Well it isn't over yet!"

He held his hands above his head and a powerful gust picked up and wrapped around the three standing sailor scout's. The air was full of screams as they were flung up against the wall. They were knocked unconscious by the attack.

Lord Sith let out a triumphant laugh as he looked at the six-sailor scout's that were all knocked unconscious. "Won't the queen be happy when I bring her the six sailor scout's and all this energy that I have collected!" lord Sith 
looked around the room again. "It is kind of odd that neither that stupid dressed Tuxedo Mask and that weirdo that calls himself the Daystar Knight haven't shown up." Lord Sith talked quietly to himself as he scanned over the room again. But still there was no sign of either Tuxedo Mask or the Daystar Knight. Then suddenly the lights went out. Lord Sith was left standing in the dark. He looked around quickly.

He could hear movement around himself. He looked in the direction that he had heard the noises came from, but once he had turned around there was no one there.

"Show yourself! I command you to show yourself, and fight me face to face, none of this stupid hiding. So come forth and we will battle this like men instead of your silly hiding games!" Lord Sith said as he turned around following the 
sounds in the dark.

Suddenly the light went on and on Lord Sith's right side Tuxedo Mask stood, and on his left side Daystar Knight stood. Lord Sith looked at the two men that stood beside him. "So it was you two that were playing those silly games on me well no more!" Lord Sith held his hand to either side of his body and a blast of green energy blasted at Tuxedo Mask and the Daystar Knight.

Tuxedo Mask didn't see the attack coming so he was knocked to the ground hard, and rendered unconscious. But on the other hand the Daystar Knight did see the 
attack coming and managed to jump off to the side just missing the powerful green energy.

Lord Sith turned and scowled at the Daystar Knight that was still standing unharmed. 

"Come on Lord Sith why don't we have a duel, one on one. And no funny business, which means you can't use any of your magic to help you win. So pick your weapon! I have picked mine!" the Daystar Knight reached for the 
sword at his belt, he pulled the large sword from it's normal place at his side. The golden blade shinned in the florescent light's above.

Lord Sith held his hand above his head. In the palm of his hand was the black and red medallion. "I call upon the great forces of the Darkstar galaxy, send forth a powerful weapon that I may use to battle against stupid human before me!" The medallion began to glow a deep blood red color. Then there was a brightt flash of light and a sword appeared in his hands. The blade was black, as 
was the handle. Lord Sith swung his sword at the Daystar Knight who skillfully dodged the attack.

"Come on is that all you got?" the Daystar Knight said in a taunting tone as he swung back at Lord Sith.

Lord Sith blocked the attack and smiled. "No I'm just getting warmed up!" He swung violently at the Daystar Knight, he swung very violently five times, and each time the Daystar Knight just managed to dodge the attacks.

The violent attack of each of the men went on for some time. They weren't able to get a hit on either one, each time the other swung they just managed to jump out of the way of the attacks.

Lord Sith faked right and cut the Daystar Knight shoulder with the black blade. The Daystar Knight held his arm and groaned in pain.

Lord Sith smiled a sinister smile. "Come on, you are slowing down! Is that all you have got?" Lord Sith said with a small sinker.

The Daystar Knight smiled. "No I'm still getting warmed up!" the Daystar Knight held his sword with both hands and swung continuously at Lord Sith, forcing the evil man to step back. Finally Lord Sith fell as the Daystar Knight cut deeply into Lord Sith right side, he groaned in pain.

The Daystar Knight held his sword's blade to Lord Sith's throat. "Are you ready to die?" The Daystar Knight asked as he brought the sword closer to Lord Sith's throat.

Lord Sith smiled, then with an evil laugh he disappeared in a bright green flame. The Daystar knight stabbed at the fire where Lord Sith was. But he couldn't feel the sword dig into Lord Sith's flesh.

A sinister laugh could be heard behind the Daystar Knight. He turned around and there Lord Sith was hovering in the air. "You might have defeated me this time but next time you won't be so lucky!" Lord Sith disappeared in a green flame. 

The Daystar Knight walked over to where Sailor Sun was laying. He knelt beside her. And put her head on his lap, she slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the Daystar Knight's arm she sat up quickly. She took the ribbon from her hair and wrapped it around his arm to stop the blood. Sailor Sun's hair fell from its normal place and rested on her back.

"I must go, and thank-you. I will see you another day. Remember to keep up the good work and fight strong." The Daystar knight handed Sailor Sun a golden star shaped flower and disappeared into the other room.

Sailor Sun stared in the direction that he had gone wondering if his arm would be okay. Then once she had snapped out of her daze she went to see if her fellow scouts were all right.

* * * * *

Lord Sith stood on the roof of the art gallery holding his side. His hand was covered in blood. "How could I have been so stupid and careless. Now I have failed again, and if I fail again then I'm going to be destroyed by the queen. I better head back and tell the queen what happened. And plan for the next day." Lord Sith disappeared in a green flame.
