Chibiusa was very glad that her friend, Miko was here from the future. Now she didn't seem to feel as alone as before. Now that Miko and her sister were here, the two friends were able to attend school together. Earlier in the day, Miko came to Chibiusa's class.

"Class," the sensei said, garnering the kids' attention. "Today we have a new student joining us." The sensei turned to the doorway and ushered the new student in. "Tell the class about yourself," she said, patting the girl on the shoulder.

Miko walked in dressed in a matching skirt and sweater set. The green of the sweater made her eyes seem to glow. She set her backpack down and bowed before the class. "Watashi no namae wa, Takanera Miko desu! Hajimemashite!"

Chibiusa grinned. "Mi-chan!"

Miko looked around the classroom before laying eyes on her friend. "Ah, Usa-chan!"

Miko was directed to a desk near the front of the room. Settling in her seat, she put her notebooks and her school supplies in her desk. Chibiusa was a few desks behind her.

At lunch, Chibiusa waited until the girl next to her moved to sit with to her friends. "Mi-chan, sit back here!" she called.

Miko looked up from her backpack. "Hai!"

She hustled her way through the rows of desks and sat at the desk next to Chibiusa. She started to open her bento that Chibimo prepared for her.

Chibiusa smiled and opened her own bento. "Mi-chan, these are my friends, Momoko," she said, pointing to the girl in the silk Chinese dress that had her brown hair in a bun. "And Kyusuke." She motioned to the green haired boy sitting in front of her.

Miko bowed her head. "Hajimemashite!"

Momoko giggled. "She's so polite!" Miko flushed at the compliment.

The four spent the lunch hour eating and talking. Miko learned that Kyusuke was a big fan of Sailorv and even had a button his sister made. She showed him her Sailorv key chain she got from a UFO catcher machine. He thought the key chain was so cool, that he tried to wheedle a trade out of Miko.

Near the end, their sensei gave them time to clean up and return to their desks.

Afterwards, their next subject was one of Miko's worst, Science.

Miko groaned as she lugged the new textbook from her desk. It was going to be a long day.

* * * *

"Bet you can't catch me Mi-chan!" Chibiusa yelled behind her, causing Miko to take chase.

"Watch me!" Miko screamed, speeding up to catch her. After school, the two spent the day together doing what they normally did in Crystal Tokyo, hanging out. Hanging out usually meant taking in a show or spending time at the arcade, which is what they decided to do today. Chibiusa squeaked as she felt a tug on her back bow, Miko was catching up, and if Miko caught her, she knew she would tickle her.

She caught her and immediately started tickling her.

"Mi-chan, that tickles!" Chibiusa laughed. "Yamete!" She was now trying to squirm out Miko's grasp. Miko had always seemed to be the strongest of the pair.

"Iie, Usa-chan this is pay back!" Miko laughed, running her hands by Chibiusa's ribs. Chibiusa broke free and sprinted towards the park where she hid behind a tree. Miko chased behind her but lost her. She wandered around calling for Chibiusa.

"Usa-chan! Where are you? I quit! Miko continued to look until a voice cut into her thoughts.

"Well, well if it isn't the Earth brat," Stormfire said, causing Miko to swirl around in fright.

Miko's green eyes widened in fright and she took off for the deepest part of the park. Stormfire only snorted and sent a golden beast in chase. Chibiusa heard the commotion and headed for Miko, pulling her behind a rock.

"Mi-chan, hide here," she breathed, brushing leaves and twigs out the way, making a spot for Miko to crouch at.

"I hate this part!" Miko whined, tugging on her ponytail. A snarl reached their ears as the golden beast approached them. At closer inspection, it was the size of a large wolf, with two heads and four tails. It's massive golden paws had at least six inch golden claws that looked like they could rip through metal.

The beast leaped onto the rock, letting loose a loud wail. A trail of ice skittered down the young girls' spines. Afraid, the two ran deeper into the park until they came into a dead end. The beast appeared again, and started to walk slowly towards them.

Stormfire appeared in a flash of golden light. "My lord will be pleased if I alone killed the earth brat," he said, rubbing his golden hands together in glee.

Miko reached into her pocket, pulling out her henshin star. "Neo Earth Transform!"

Chibiusa followed suit. "Moon Prism Power, make up!" Sailorchibimoon and Sailorneoearth stood before the golden beast.

"You want a fight, lets go!" Sailorneoearth yelled, throwing her hands into the sky. "Neo Cosmic..." a dark cloud appeared, placing a lightning bolt between her small hands. "Lightning!" She flung the lightning bolt at the beast causing him to wince in pain. "Now Sailormoon!" she yelled.

"I really don't have an attack!" Chibimoon wailed, hiding behind Sailorneoarth.

"Nani?" Neoearth asked in shock. "How can you not have an attack!?" Not waiting for a response, she attacked. "Neo Power!" She folded her arms across her chest and her fists had a purple aura surround them. She transferred all the power to one fist. "Gradation!" She ran over and slammed her fist into the ground. It was quiet for a second, the beast looked in disbelief, once it took a step a large pillar of purple light surrounded him, crushing him.

"So Earth brat, I see you're stronger than I thought. Let's see if you can finish a bigger beast." With a flash of his hand a larger beast appeared. Chibimoon hid behind Neoearth.

"Sailormoon, we can defeat him. Just concentrate and say what comes to your mind," Sailorearth said, closing her eyes and placing her hands in a prayer gesture. Her tiara vanished and an infinity sign inside a heart appeared in its place.

Chibimoon closed her eyes and concentrated, waiting for the words to come to her, she felt a rush of power. "Moonlight Sugar Shock!"

Tiny pink hearts appeared and surrounded the beast, which screeched in total pain, Chibimoon concentrated harder, causing their joint attack to hit harder. The screeches and wails sounded like a hand dragging across a chalkboard. In a flash of pinkish-purple light, the beast vanished, leaving Stormfire aghast. With a grunt, he vanished, leaving the two Senshi alone.

* * * *

Stormfire appeared before his master, Shizar, with his head bowed in fear and respect. "Sumimasen, my lord," the minion said, ducking a book that Shizar aimed for his head.

"You idiotic fool, you couldn't kill two eight year olds! Is it just me or are you insane?" Shizar roared, slamming a fist on his golden desk. "Why didn't you kill them yourself?" Shizar raged, flinging his golden books at Stormfire.

"Well, I thought my golden beasts could defeat them! They combined their powers, something I didn't expect!" he stammered, backing into the door.

 "Of course they can combine their powers, that's what Earth can do, give them a boost. BAKA!" Shizar yelled, grabbing Stormfire's head and slamming it onto the golden desk. Stormfire grabbed his aching head, whining about the pain. "You have one more chance, go back and kill them yourself!" He threw Stormfire out into the hallway.

* * * *

After the incident in the park, Miko and Chibiusa ran towards the Fruit Crown Parlor, hoping that the Senshi would be there. They weren't in the Parlor, but they were in the arcade. When they finally found them, the pair babbled so much, Usagi tried to calm them down to get them to explain, one by one.

"It's OK, tell us what happened, one at a time," Usagi said, patting Chibiusa on her back.

"A golden man with two golden beasts attacked us!" Chibiusa exclaimed, using her hands to give a size of the beasts. 

"Yeah, and if we wouldn't have combined our attacks, we could of been killed!" Miko said, taking a deep breath afterwards.

"Combined attacks?" Makoto asked, looking at Shi.

Shi nodded, her dark ponytails flaring about her. "Hai, Makoto-san. We can combine our attacks with any other Senshi for more power." 

"Can I combine with anyone?" Moshi asked.

"Hai, mama. You could have done it already, but I guess you never thought of it," Shi answered. 

"I'd hate to interrupt this, but I think that Imitar is behind this," Ami started. "It seems he's trying to get rid of the smaller Senshi first." 

Minako looked up. "I agree, we have to watch these two to make sure they don't get hurt."

Moshi leaped to her feet, her violet eyes flashing. "I'm sick of playing lame duck!" She raised her fist to the sky. "Ring of Metamorphosis, turn me into Miko!" Purple light swirled around her as she shrunk in height. Right before the Senshi's eyes, Moshi became Miko. 

"Mama, you can't be serious!" Miko said, feeling like she was looking into a mirror.

Moshi turned her now green eyes on her youngest daughter. "I am serious," she said, balling her small hands into fists. "Chibimo, turn into Chibiusa," she ordered, looking up at her oldest child.

Shi looked at her sister and sighed. "It's okay, Mi-chan, mama and I will handle this. "Paradise imagery! I am Chibiusa!" Shi's hair shortened and turned pink, her violet eyes lightened into a red and her odangos became oval. "Let's go Okaa-san!" Shi said, heading for the front door. The two headed back to the park where the attack occurred earlier.

Before they could even reach the park, Stormfire appeared before them. "You thought those beasts were tough, wait until you fight me." 

"Well, before the party gets started, we're not who you think we are!" Moshi said, pressing a finger to the small infinity sign, turning back into herself.

"That's right!" Shi said pressing a finger to the cloud on her forehead.

Stormfire growled, his head was hurting, Shizar was mad and now these two played a trick on him. He caused a bolt of golden energy to strike out against them, making them scramble for cover.

"Earth Star Power, Make up!" Moshi transformed into Sailorearth.

"Paradise Power, Make up!" Shi turned into Sailor Paradise. The two headed for a more secluded area, where no innocents would be hurt. Under the clock tower, the three did battle. Golden sparks lit the area, allowing many to see it from afar.

"Shi ne!" Stormfire yelled, sending a large wave of golden energy towards Sailorearth, who deftly ducked to the right.

"Bite me!" she snarled. "Power Gradation!" She flung the energy at his feet and the large pillar encased him.

"Paradise Misery Strike!" A dark cloud emerged from her tiara and smacked Stormfire in the face. He wailed in pain as he struggled to free himself from the pillar that started to slowly close in crushing him. Sailorparadise winced as she could hear his ribs crunching loudly. She looked at Sailorearth's face. The sight scared her, she could see the hate spread across, as Earth took pleasure in causing him pain.

"Mama..." she whispered, looking at her mother in shock.

For the briefest of seconds, Paradise swore she saw her mother's eyes flash a steely gray before settling back at purple. "Nani?" Earth asked.

Paradise shook her head. "Iie, it's nothing."

Stormfire opened his mouth slowly emitting an ear-piercing wail, a beam of golden light appeared and crashed through the purple pillar, freeing him. Sailorearth gasped, before they could counterattack, he struck the ground letting a wave of energy crash into them, sending them flying. Earth struck her head on a rock, as Paradise went sailing into the pond.

Grinning to himself, Stormfire slowly stood up, preparing to deal the deathblow. He knew Shizar would reward him handsomely for destroying both Sailorearth and Sailorparadise.

"Stop right there!" a voice called, making him turn around. "How dare you attack and think you would get away with it! Ai to seigi no! Sailor fuku bishoujo Senshi, Seeramuun!" Sailormoon said, doing her usual pose.

"To, Sailorchibimoon!" Chibimoon said, following suit. Then together they both finished. "Tuskini kawatte, oshioki yo!"

"With the Sailor Team!" Venus said, with her arms folded. Jupiter rushed over to the fallen Earth, shaking her gently to rouse her. Mercury waded out into the pond where Paradise was floating, pulling her back to land.

Chibiearth raced over to Sailorearth and placed her hands on her temples. "Earth Healing Power," she whispered, as her hands began to glow in pale purple. Earth's eyes flickered as she slowly opened them, focusing in on Chibiearth's face. 

Once Chibiearth was sure her mother was fine, she jumped to her feet, calling for her sister. "Paradise!" She ran over to Paradise, whose lips were a pale blue, Mercury was trying to pump the water out of her body. Chibiearth did her healing power, but Paradise didn't wake up. 

"Come on, wake up! Chibiearth yelled frantically, shaking Paradise's limp arm.

Sailorearth's eyes began to water as she struggled to stand up with Jupiter's help. Determined, Mercury continued to push on Paradise's still chest, pausing between pushes to breathe air into the young girl.

The other Senshi stood still, afraid of what was happening. Jupiter helped Earth walk towards Chibiearth and Mercury, who were trying everything in their power to wake Paradise up.

"Iie! PARADISE!" Sailorearth wailed, falling to her knees in front of her body. She tried to heal but to no avail. Frustrated, she slammed her fist in the middle of her chest, causing her body to shake. Nothing.

She stood up and slowly walked towards Stormfire. "You bastard! You hurt my child, how dare you!" Her black ponytails swirled around her shoulders. A dark cloud gathered over her head as rage coursed throughout her body.

"Sailormoon, I need your help," Earth said, turning her violet gaze on Sailormoon."

Sailormoon nodded. Closing her eyes, the holy grail appeared in her hands. Holding it up over her head, she called out, "Crisis, make up!" Light and butterflies surrounded Sailormoon, powering her up into Supersailormoon.

Stormfire started to quake, he knew that he was in it deep now. Feeling his immediate demise approaching, he started to attack, only to be cut down by a barrage of attacks from Sailorvenus and Mars.

Earth threw her hands into the air and yelled, "Cosmic!" Her hair jewels glowed brightly as a yellow and purple light surrounded her. With her eyes flashing, she said, "Lightning!"

A large golden bolt appeared between her outstretched hands. She flung a large bolt at Stormfire, piercing him in the heart. He wailed as large globs of blood, fell from his lips.

Supersailormoon saw her opening and went for it. She pulled the Spiral Heart Moon Rod from her subspace pocket and started to power up. "Rainbow Moon Heart Ache!"

A large heart slammed into Stormfire, knocking him backwards. "Lovely!" he yelled as he began to flicker slowly from sight. When he vanished, Moon transformed back into her Cosmic form and fell to her knees.

Sailorearth walked back over to Paradise and kneeled, with tears falling from her tightly shut eyes. "Please, don't die," she whispered. Her tiara faded as the golden infinity sign appeared, connecting with the cloud on Paradise's forehead.

When the light vanished, Sailorparadise sat up with a start, rubbing the back of her head. "Did anyone get the plate number of that hovercar?" she asked groggily as Chibiearth wrapped her small arms around her neck.

"Paradise!" Sailorearth cried, lunging at her and locking both Paradise and Chibi Earth in a tight embrace.
