*slinks back into thread* *sheepishly shows pink "tardy" slip to teacher* *crawls over to her desk and meekly catches up on her posts* blush hugs Okay, peoples... crazy-long-catch-up-post following! grin


And... if I may ask, how are any pictures coming? Just wondering is all.

Woefully remiss, like my posting. But like Moff Jerjerrod, I shall redouble my efforts! My friend and I just watched the original trilogy and I am in the throws of Luke worship, so I think I'll try to finish the cutesy Luke/Luna picture I have in mind!



Post 6/3: Jacen merely winced in pain. "S-sure thing, Tenel Ka… Grandma?"

laugh Also loved the different reactions at the bedroom's decor! grin



~Jacen glanced at Tenel Ka briefly. He reached out with the Force and sent her a message. Did you challenge her?
~I did nothing of the sort!


You blasphemed her cooking with the "a" word! Mako-chan, in the name of Sailor Emeril, punish them! Assault their tastebuds with mounds of delectable food! Bam!



...a space cadet who thinks he’s the last descendant of some ninja clan...

I see the lineup been added to... mua-ha-haaa! devil



AWWW!!! Ami-chan and Kayko-mama have such a lovely moment! So sweet! And of course Ami's mom would be smart and awesome! Genes, man, genes! peace



Usagi let out a gasp as she felt the mental invasion and screamed, "No!" An invisible hand suddenly slammed Jaina back, knocking her against the wall and immediately sending stars flying in front of her eyes.

Whoa!!! Go Usagi-chan! Way to be precociously Force-sensitive! And.... *drumroll*



Mamoru saw that and surreptitiously reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a rose. I guess it's time to test this he thought. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the rose stem-first at Zekk's chest.... Zekk looked himself over and posed with the rose over his left breast. "I am Tuxedo Ennth, protector of the fair Sailor Corellia."

YES!!!!!!!! *dances around with joy* Yay! I love this storyline! Bring on the boys! Ah, such a great scene, what with everybody flying against walls and making sparkly transformations... classic!



Post 6/10: Ben gestured with his hand and Mara was abruptly Force-shoved back into her chair. "Palpatine found you in the old Jedi Temple during the beginning of the Purges." His eyes closed as he recounted the tale of the last time he saw his daughter alive…

Whoa! Flashback! shock Coolness...



Ben shook his head. "No. I simply wanted to see my daughter one last time before returning to the Force." He began fading out, but before he vanished completely, Ben's voice echoed out once more. "I also wanted to see my granddaughter as well."

Preggers!!! dancing But don't shout too loud! You'll wake grandpa!



Leia looked over at her husband and smiled. "Nice job, sir," she said, throwing him a mock salute.

Sometimes he even amazes himself... wink



She walked back into the room and fidgeted with her transformation wand, suddenly unsure about the future.

Striker, I swear to you right here and now, in the presence of all and under the watchful eyes of Naoko Takayuchi, George Lucas and Timothy Zahn... I will not draw a picture of pregnant Sailor Coruscant. I promise. Cross my heart. *crosses her heart*

And yet, it's still a less scarring image than imagining Janson in a fuku...



~Mara walked out and over to Luke‘s spot, a sneaky smile on her face. She knelt down and up to his ear, blowing into it.
~Try as he might, the Jedi Master couldn't keep a grin from his face. His eyes shot open. "I'm teaching a class here," he complained, a pout on his face.


*with a mighty effort, Jaded_Girl restrains her rabid and appreciative inner-L/M-shippie*



~Luke's mouth dropped open in shock. "What? How? When?"
~Mara stifled a chuckle as she grabbed Luke‘s hand and pulled him to his feet.. "I'm pregnant, you were there so you know how and last night. Any other questions?"


Hah! laugh Among the great exchanges in this whole fic! *snorts* Men... *gives Luke and affectionate noogie* ^_^



Chiyo-chan nodded. “Oh, yeah! I just hope it’s not disrupted too much by Tomo or Naruto. That pair seems to love messing about and ruining our chance to learn!”

Oh good lord! Let's just hope they don't breed!



At that instant, a blond-haired man a year older than Hotaru suddenly dropped down from the roof, a rope tied around his waist. He sailed forward… and smacked into the closed window next to the one Sakura had opened.

I don't care if it was a stupid stunt or that Hotaru was the only thing between survival and disaster... that was funny as hell! mischief



Naruto smirked and looked over his wrinkled and dirty clothing. “Hey, it looks better than usual. So what’s the lesson for today, Yukari baby?”

*dies laughing, and feels a wave of sympathy for Yukari-sensei*



Post 6/17: This post here is one of my proudest posts I've written for... well, any of my fics. Since 1995. I respectfully ask for you all to please review it.... and Kenshin is from Rurouni Kenshin.

KENSHIN!!!!!!! *tackles Striker and hugs him so hard that his eyes mount a valiant escape effort from the tyranny of their sockets!*

Bringitonbringitonbringitonbringiton!!!!!!



She sniffed twice. "Makoto has been cooking," she said, heading quickly for the door.

Yeah. The sun also rose in the east this morning. whistling Loved Jacen's morning reaction, too!



The other half was a training center almost unparalleled in design. Free weights were on the far side of the room, stacked on large poles that kept them in place. Various weapons lined an entire wall, ranging from simple bo staffs to katana blades and chains, to about a dozen firearms. Various training devices lined the wall opposite the weapons display, including a free-standing punching bag

*jaw drops* shock



Makoto shook her head and took a deep breath, letting her green eyes close. Tenel Ka lashed out again, this time with her right foot, but Makoto's hands grabbed it. Her eyes opened again as pushed Tenel Ka to the floor, but the redhead rolled through the push and bounced back to her feet.

Hee! Awesome!



Tenel Ka shook her head at her with admonishment. "Do not use such a heavy hand. You crush the Force that way."

I like that quote. Kudos, Striker! But... weapons! Aaahh! And bow versus katana! *excited squeal*



The two ladies locked eyes, and both knew that the other one was having the time of their lives. This was not a fight out of malice or hate. It was simply the best way to begin Makoto's training as a Jedi Knight.

*nods head sagely* Absolutely right.



“It’s not a ceremonial blade, Tenel Ka. It’s a sakabato, a reversed-edge sword.” She turned, walked back to the redhead and gently took the sword from her. “An ancestor of mine named Kenshin wielded this weapon against evil and injustice, never taking a life with it as long as he wielded it.” She stepped back and held it out to Tenel Ka. “Here, take it. You used it far more effectively than I ever could.”

*Jaded_Girl is far, far too cooled-out to reply coherently at the moment, so she turns to Striker and drops to a full-bow, forehead on floor* STRIKER-SAMA!!! DOMO ARIGATO GOZAIMASU!!!

Though, thinking about it... Mako-chan must get her cooking skills from the other side of the family... wink

I want to see Tenel Ka do some serious @$$-kicking with that thing, do you hear me Striker?!?! Sakabatô Shinuchi had been cooped up too long and is yearning to hand out cans of whoop-@$$ to evildoers everywhere!!!



~Tenel Ka nodded, then slumped against him. "I am…fine, friend Jacen. The adrenaline has merely worn off."
~Makoto walked back, limping noticeably. "We must do that again," she groaned.
~Tenel Ka nodded. "That is… a fact."


An awesome end to an incredibly awesome post, Striker! The fight scene was well-choreographed and perfectly described so it was neither too long *cough, pod-race sequence, cough* nor visually confusing *cough, space fight in the beginning of Episode 3, cough*!

tongue



Post 6/24: The couple sat at a window booth as a slim young woman with frizzy red hair walked up to them. "Hi, Hotaru!"
~Hotaru looked up and smiled. "Hello, Naru!"


Awww! She's working at a parfait shop! love sad And yay for the NGE cameo! Hotaru must go to the coolest school that was ever in danger of being periodically blown up!



Realization slowly dawned for Anakin. Tahiri! He shook his head, clearing his mind of the name. "You mean you both love me?" he said incredulously.

*siiiigh* Men. doh!



Usagi’s eyes opened and she spoke up. "I doubt he did. You're a smart person, Jaina."... Usagi shrugged. "I just heard the words in my head." Her eyes opened wide and she looked over at Jaina." Did I do something wrong?" she asked. Her voice wavering slightly.

See, that- along with her incredible purity, sweetness, compassion and kindness- is what makes Usagi so special... She's really very humble, and even a bit insecure. It's endearing.



The tongs trembled before flying off the countertop at Usagi, but they were interrupted by the back of Jaina's head. They bounced off the back of her skull before flying up and over, landing in front of her.

*utterly fails to control her laughter in a prolonged snort that sounds like Charybdis with a chronic sinus problems*



~This time, the rose hit him in the face, petals first. The bounty hunter stumbled backward and yelled, "That smarts!"
~Mask nodded. "The rose is a lot stronger than it appears to be, Zekk."


I'd have to be.



Mamoru nodded, then looked around. "I don't believe it," he muttered, a slow smile crossing his handsome features. "This is the office where I work."

*laughs* Awesome! grin



Luna glared at the blue-haired genius. "Ami, I tolerate Luke doing that because he's Luke. Please don't anticipate where I am or what I'll say, okay?"

I'd say "poor Luna", but she can handle it. After all those years of nagging (and poor Artemis is still probably enduring it) she needs to be teased and tormented a bit. devil Oh, and I loved Ami's eye-roll and the others being distracted! ^_^



Sannah looked up at her from her seat on the floor. "The speeches are mandatory, and so is looking very goofy while doing it." She turned back to her game even as Anja scooped Luna up and dashed out the room.

Between that and Ami's comment to Tionne the apartment is chock full of useful information! grin And Yay! It's Sailor Bespin!


*is far too exhausted from the extended post- and has despaired of ever having sensation in her butt again- to make any other comment than a weak...* up...

Great updates! happy

Luna, meanwhile, walked over to Tionne and jumped up onto her shoulders, just like she did with Luke.

Instead of a smooth ride, though, Tionne stumbled back into the wall, knocking Luna off. "Ow!' the cat yelled.

Tionne rubbed her shoulder. "What did you do that for?"

The cat looked up and shrugged with a slight wince. "It always works with Luke," she said.

Tionne sighed and rolled her eyes, massaging her arm. "Luna, I'm not Luke."

"No, you sure aren't."


Aww, that made me smile. I love Luna. happy

And the training session was amazing!

SSM12-Thanks. Glad you liked all of that. And thanks for the bump. Hope the date wasn't too mushy for you. wink

Ish-Glad you liked the training duel, too. happy I conveyed frustration? Cool. And the tongue thing might have been a bit of an exaggeration. This is an anime, after all. Well, a crossover with an anime. tongue

r_c-Aw. Thank you, dude! hugs Hmm, maybe I wrote them a bit too enthusiastic. Glad you liked the cameos. I included Asuka because you requested some NGE cameos, so glad you liked. One thing I really don't like is when the anime girl doesn't tell her crush about her crush on him. Probably the only thing I don't like about Hyuuga Hinata from Naruto, so I had to include that. LOL, yes. It might do them some good for their tongues to be hurting so they don't argue anymore.

Taeniaea-Thank you. happy

Jaded_Girl-Dudette, after your PM... no note necessary. *Signs and hands back* I can't wait to see Luke with Luna on his shoulder. Will be tres' cute. Yes, Tenel Ka did blaspheme Mako-san's cooking-not a good idea, Tenel Ka! Bam! Yes, the lineup has been added to. Glad you liked Ami and Kayko there. I've been wanting to do something like that for a while with them.

Glad you liked their transformations. The neighbors must've been angry. wink Who's Grandpa, though? Anakin Skywalker? Yes, he's very amazing. wink Be prepared to unleash the rabid shippie, dudette. Naruto won't breed with Tomo-only with Hinata. wink Did you like how Hotaru saved his life, though?

*Gasps* Y-yes, Kenshin... Papa? wink Yes, Makoto's been cooking. That's why everyone's stomach is rumbling. Yes, bo vs. katana. Ah... no need to bow. And Sakabato-Shunichi will be unleashing cans of whoop-@$$ on evil-doers. Imagine her with her lightsaber and sakabato out, with Jupiter standing next to her with her double-bladed lightsaber ignited.

Naru owns the parfait shop, actually. Yes, men. I should know how dense we can be. tongue Legit glad I got Usagi right there-and you're right on all counts for her. Luna should be able to take what she can dish out. And glad you liked the posts. happy

Idrelle-Thanks. And glad you liked Luna, there. And the training session too. happy

WARNING!!!

Rabid L/M shippers should take heed while reading this post. It contains:

1. Force bonding.

2. COmbined attacks.

3. both of them acting cool and powerful.

Here we go!

*****
Outside of Tokyo, the Falcon and Saber sat, nestled between three hills and protected from casual and direct observation.

Han and Leia took their time walking around the ships on their daily inspection, taking in the peaceful morning. "The Saber's sensors need some tuning," he observed with a practiced eye, noting two antennae sticking out of the bow.

Leia nodded, a look of distraction crossing her face. "Maybe we should have Mara come back here and check that out. You know how she is about people touching her ship."

Han smirked. "Yeah. She's almost as bad as me." His gaze wandered from her to the ships, and finally at Chewie and Lowie. The younger Wookiee had his lightsaber ignited and deflected blaster bolts his uncle fired at him.

A snarl curled his lips every time a bolt spanged off his molten bronze blade. Chewie looked back at Han and roared his approval, prompting Han to give him a thumbs-up. “Good work, Lowie! You’ll be a Master in no time!”

He looked back over to Leia just in time to see Lusa-no, Sailor Chiron run across the field. She turned at full tilt and sped across the grassy plain to Leia and Han. "How are you?" she asked, panting slightly.

Leia smiled. "It's a nice, sunny day. There's no fighting, and I can spend some time with my wonderful husband." She snaked her arm around Han's waist and pulled him in for a peck on the cheek. "But that's not why you wanted to see me, is it," she said when she pulled back. It was a statement, not a question.

Chiron nodded and looked over to the path leading out. Minako and Artemis were approaching and Leia noted the unusually intense look on the blonde's face.

Minako stopped short of Leia and bowed. "Princess," she began formally.

Leia broke away from Han and returned the bow. "I thank you, but I'm no longer princess."

Minako looked up and scratched the back of her head. "Really?" She looked down at Artemis. "Did you know that?"

The white cat sighed. "Minako, let me handle this." Artemis walked up to Leia and sat down, his head craning up even as she knelt down to him. "Miss Leia, I'm going to perform a test on you. Will you submit?"

Leia's mouth dropped open in surprise, but she nodded. A yellowish beam of light emanated from the crescent mark on Artemis' forehead and struck Leia between the eyes.

Han looked at his wife, then at the small feline. His hand strayed to his blaster, but a furry paw on his shoulder caused him to stop. He looked up and saw Chewie standing next to him, a knowing look in his eyes. “Okay, Chewie. I’ll wait.”

The beam stopped, leaving a thoroughly perplexed Leia there. "What was that?" she asked in awe.

Artemis coughed into his paw before speaking. "You, Miss Leia, have the power of the Sailor Senshi."

Minako looked at him, then at Leia. "Her?" she asked, pointing at the princess. "I thought we were simply coming to train with Lusa a bit."

Artemis sighed, then raked his claws against Minako's exposed thigh. The blond let out a yelp of pain, then kicked at the scurrying cat. "When I get my hands on you!" she yelled, chasing after him.

Leia stood up and turned to Sailor Chiron. "You had better walk me through this, honey. I’m not sure I‘ll be getting anywhere with them."

The centaur nodded. "Hold out your right hand and concentrate your spirit there." Leia nodded, half-closing her brown eyes. A small ball of light coalesced in her open palm, turning into an ornate rod.

Chiron nodded and smiled. "Now shout the name of the planet you associate yourself with, followed by the phrase ‘Power Makeup'."

The princess nodded, already knowing the planet she would use. "Alderaan Power Makeup!"

Han and Chewie stepped back as a gray energy field enveloped Leia. It melted her pants and shirt into a Sailor Fuku, complete with a gray bow tied on front and a black skirt and ankle boots. Elbow length gloves completed the ensemble as she posed a half-second later. "I am Sailor Alderaan, the soldier of life!" she yelled, throwing Han a salute.

The former smuggler looked his wife up and down. "Hey, not too bad." He walked up to her and whispered in her ear. "Would you care to punish me?"

Leia's mouth dropped open in shock and an odd giggle escaped her lips. "Honey, not in front of the young ones."

Han shrugged and walked up around to the front. "Well, they're gonna learn about that sooner or later, right?" He kissed her on the mouth before pulling away.

Sailor Alderaan turned to Chiron. "So, now what?"

Sailor Chiron looked Alderaan over. "Actually, this is unplowed ground for me. I've never really taught someone before." She walked around Sailor Alderaan, her hooves clopping on the ground and echoing through the valley. "I suppose the first part is finding out your special power."

She looked over at Lowie, who was protecting Artemis from a vengeful Minako. "Hey, Lowie! Can you come here for a moment! And bring Artemis too."

The Wookiee ran over, bringing the feline in his arms. [Here you go, Lusa. Nice kitty, good kitty.]

The cat bounded out of the Wookiee's lanky arms and settled himself at Alderaan's feet. "Well, nice to see one of you figuring this out on your own," he winked. "What do you need?"

Sailor Chiron glanced back to Alderaan. "She needs to figure out what her attack technique is, and I‘m not sure how to help her out there."

Artemis looked around, then motioned at a rock outcropping with his paw. "Attack that," he said.

Alderaan looked at the brown rocks and concentrated, not knowing quite what to do. Suddenly, two words came to her mind and she shouted them to the sky.

"Twilight Pulse!"

A maelstrom of onyx lightning streamed around her legs, traveling up her body and shooting from her outstretched arms. The stream of power slammed into the rocks, causing a fairly large explosion and a shower of dirt.

Alderaan's brown eyes blinked twice, and Chiron gulped. "That was…impressive."

Minako ran over, jabbering excitedly. "Woah! That was amazing!" She looked at the still-falling debris and shook her head. "You're quite powerful."

Alderaan nodded, but she quickly turned to Tokyo. "Luke and Mara are in trouble!" she shouted. “We have to go help them!“

She looked over at Han and Chewie, who were running to her. "We have to go to Tokyo."

The two honor brothers exchanged a glance before Han turned back to his beloved and nodded once. "Let's go."

Chewie roared in agreement and hoisted his bowcaster, ready to fight for his honor brother and sister. Han nodded to his wife. “Lead the way, sweetheart.”
*****
Luke and Mara walked down the street, arm in arm and practically broadcasting the word couple over their heads. Rei walked several steps behind them, secretly jealous of Mara, but also knowing that she had no chance with Luke.

"This is a nice city, Rei," Mara said. She looked back at the miko and motioned for her to walk alongside them.

Rei quickened her pace, catching up. "Thank you." She looked around Tokyo before looking to Mara. "Would it be possible for me to visit your reality someday? I'd love to visit the temples on Yavin IV."

The two Jedi Masters looked at each other, as if participating in some secret conversation. "I'll see to it myself," Luke finally said.

Rei‘s face broke into a grin, but it quickly turned to a look of panic. "Look out!" she shouted, shoving the pair out of the way…

A dozen bluish energy spheres shot right over Luke and Mara’s heads, barely missing them. The trio rolled through, each one ending up on their feet.

Luke’s lightsaber was already unclipped, ignited and held up in an guard stance.

Mara and Rei, meanwhile, had their transformation wands ready.

"Coruscant Power Makeup!"

"Mars Crystal Power Makeup!"

The two were engulfed in a bright light, and when it faded a half-second later, Sailors Coruscant and Mars stood ready to fight.

Luke noted the panicky populace and sent out a telepathic message through the Force. Stay away. Remember nothing. As the civilians ran off, he looked up and gasped at a winged demon clad in black armor hovered just above him. It was clearly female, but had ashen skin and a cruel smile.

Two Elven beings hovered next to her. "Galaxia, no. You are Chaos!" he shouted.

Galaxia nodded. "That is correct, scion of the Jedi." She motioned to Ali and En, who descended to the ground. “Destroy them!“

Ali held out his green-skinned hand and concentrated, sending out a telekinetic pulse.

Coruscant raced to her husband's side and shouted, "Shield of Hope!" while holding her arms up. A greenish energy barrier formed around the two, deflecting the attack.

En smirked and jumped up. Part of the gold decoration winding around her bodysuit writhed, eventually moving to her hand and elongating into a spear. She threw it at Luke and Coruscant, who dodged it. The spear hit the concrete sidewalk and embedded itself before exploding and sending out a hail of shrapnel.

Mars looked up and snarled. She traced a circle around her body, leaving a fiery trail. "Burning…" she shouted. The trail resolved itself into eight energy discs and she finished the phrase. "Mandala!"

The discs sped off at the alien and three ripped into her chest, sending up a geyser of greenish blood. Two hit the bracelets adorning her wrists, shattering them. En's face took on a look of shock and her eyes turned glassy as she plummeted to the ground.

Ali raced to his beloved. "EN!" he shouted, but her body faded into oblivion before it hit the ground. He turned to Rei, anger boiling from his blue eyes. He raised his hands and his fingernails extended, forming into long claws.

Rei held up her hands and clasped them together. Reddish flames danced along her fingertips and her hands were soon engulfed in a ball of fire. "Fire Soul!" she shouted. A large ball of fire shot from the extended index fingers, racing at Ali.

The alien leaped into the air. "You'll have to do better than that," he taunted.

Rei gritted her teeth and smiled. "Oh, I will."

Luke and Coruscant confronted the still hovering Galaxia. "You won't win!" the redheaded Senshi of hope declared. "We shall fight you to the last."

Galaxia smiled, showing off her fangs. "Good. Starseeds taste so mush sweeter when they are plucked from a person after a fight." She raised her hands a dozen energy pulses shot off to the Jedi Masters.

Coruscant and Luke's lightsabers blurred into blue and green strobes as they deflected them away and back at Chaos. The bluish energy spheres hit a shield surrounding the demon and exploded, though, temporarily blinding the two Jedi Masters. When the glare faded, Galaxia floated down to the ground and snarled. "Sailor Anima-Mates, attack!"

Both Luke and Sailor Coruscant's danger sense went into immediate overdrive. "Rei, be careful!" Luke shouted.

The Senshi of the flame turned from Ali's battered body and nodded. "Sure thing." She turned back to the battered alien and kicked him in the stomach. Hard. Next, she reached down grabbed onto Ali’s left wrist and concentrated, hitting bracelet with a Force-assisted punch and shattering the golden ornamentation. She quickly destroyed the other one before turning and running over as the four fallen Senshi descended from the heavens.

Sailor Iron Mouse bounded down from a rooftop and sprinted to Luke. She faked a roundhouse kick and faked him out before striking him in the face with a palm thrust, bruising him. He reeled back, but rolled away from another charge and swept low with his leg, tripping her up as Iron Mouse approached and sending her down in a heap.

Luke glanced at her, then turned around just in time to be hit by a blast from Tin Nyanko's bazooka. The missile exploded right in front of him, knocking the Jedi Master back and into Sailor Mars.

Coruscant looked over at them and shouted, "No!" She suddenly felt something wrap around her right forearm. She looked up and saw Lead Crow hovering above her, wings flapping slightly and whip in hand.

The redheaded Anima-Mate sneered, a malicious glint shining in her eyes. Coruscant sighed and moaned, "Not again" right before electric current shot through her body, sending her into spasms.

Galaxia smiled and descended to the ground. "This will be fun. I can feel the power of their starseeds from here." She walked forward, claws twitching and ready to rip theirs souls from their bodies.

Two blurs suddenly hit the pavement in front of her. She reared back. "What is this?" It was two roses; one colored red, the other orange.

Her red eyes looked up to the rooftop of a store. "The peace of the morning is precious. To disturb it is a sin," Tuxedo Ennth said, arms crossed.

Tuxedo Mask looked at him and nodded. "Good speech."

Ennth nodded back. "Thanks, but it's still weird. Jaina's are much better." He glanced to his right at Sailor Corellia, who was blushing slightly from the compliment.

"Aw, thanks Zekk." She glanced to her right at Sailor Moon, who was standing ready.

The two Senshi nodded, then looked down at Galaxia and posed. "You have corrupted the souls of our friends and attacked innocents. I can't forgive you for that!" Sailor Moon yelled.

Corellia pointed at the demon and spoke up. "We are here to put an end to your evil plans, demon!"

The two posed back to back and spoke together. "We are pretty soldiers in sailor suits. And in the name of the Moon,"

Jaina broke off from the speech. "And the Force," before they both pointed at Galaxia again.

"We'll punish you!"

Galaxia rolled her eyes. "I have heard that before." She motioned to the quartet, but Tuxedo Ennth flung another rose at Galaxia. It struck her chest armor stem first, cracking it and causing her to stumble back slightly.

Sailor Moon pointed her wand at her and shouted, "Silver Crystal Power Kiss!"

Corellia quickly unclipped her lightsaber from her skirt and also pointed it at the demon, thumbing the activation button and shouting, "Silver Crystal Saber Attack!" Twin beams of silvery energy shot from their weapons and struck Galaxia.

A mere half-second before the impact, however, the fallen Senshi raised her arms and erected a telekinetic barrier around herself. The beams struck her shield, physically pushing her back and enveloping her, but not penetrating her shield.

Corellia gritted her teeth as seconds passed. "This isn't working! She's too strong!"

Moon shook her head. "You're wrong! We have two Ginzoishou here. Surely one would be enough…. I think."

Tuxedo Mask and Ennth watched as their soulmates struggled with the demon. "Something's wrong," Ennth observed. He pointed to the twin beams of energy, which were starting to waver.

Suddenly, Galaxia fired off a telekinetic shockwave at the quartet. Sailor Corellia stopped firing and deactivated her lightsaber. "We gotta get out of here!" she yelled, grabbing Moon and jostling her.

Sailor Moon ceased her attack and all four jumped from the building mere seconds before Galaxia's attack hit it, blowing off the top two stories and sending debris flying all around.

By now Sailor Mars and Luke had disentangled themselves. "Sorry about that," he muttered.

Mars looked around and saw the Sailor Anima-Mates surrounding them “We‘ve got trouble.”

Coruscant grabbed at the whip ensnaring her arm. "I hate whips!" she yelled. Suddenly, she looked down the street. "The cavalry's here!"

Luke glanced over and saw seven beings running. He recognized Han, Chewie, Lowie, Sailor Chiron, Artemis and Sailor Venus, but the seventh was a slight mystery. She was obviously a Sailor Senshi, but her long, brown hair was tied up into two buns on the sides of her head and her color scheme was identical to Corellia's. "Leia?" he finally surmised.

Sailor Alderaan took the point and posed. "I am the Senshi of life, Sailor Alderaan. When life is threatedned, I am disturbed… and life will no longer be threatened after that."

Venus stepped forward and gave her thumbs up. "Nice speech!"

Alderaan nodded, then raised her arms and shouted, "Twilight Pulse!" Onyx bolts of lightning erupted around her body, coalescing at her hands ands streaming out.
The bolts hit Galaxia dead on, but did nothing to the fallen Senshi‘s shield. She smirked, showing off her fangs. "You are not worthy," she taunted, motioning with her right hand. Suddenly, all seven new arrivals felt themselves shoved back by an invisible force. They tumbled back along the street like rag dolls, leaving Galaxia able to deal with Luke, Coruscant and Mars.

She looked at Lead Crow and said, "Remove your whip." The Senshi nodded and tugged at the whip with her good hand, retracting it. Galaxia raised her arms and fired off three energy pulses, but before they could hit, Sailor Coruscant raised her gloved hands and held them in front of her.

"Shield of Hope!" she shouted. A greenish energy barrier formed, allowing her to barely deflect the bolts away.

Luke turned to his wife and did a quick scan of her. "You're hurt, Mara."

The Senshi gasped and nodded, her flame-red hair bouncing around. "What was your first guess, farmboy?"

She looked back at Galaxia, who was standing there with hands on her hips. "You are pathetic, you know that? Your simple shield will crack soon enough, and your mate has nothing to fight me with other than a plasma sword."

She walked forward, but a sudden blur of orange stopped her and caught her attention. She looked back at Luke, who now held a black rose.

A half-second later, Luke's jumpsuit glowed and melted, reforming into a tuxedo! Galaxia shielded her red eyes while Luke transformed. "It's not possible!"

After another few moments, Luke stood there transformed. "I am Tuxedo Jedi," he said, taking Coruscant's hand in his. "Now, it's time for you to transform, Sailor Coruscant."

Coruscant nodded, feeling a sudden rush of energy. She held out her right hand and concentrated. Her transformation wand appeared, then dissolved and reformed with a different style. She held it to the sky and shouted, "Coruscant Star Power Makeup!"

A bright light enveloped her and, when it faded, her Senshi uniform was slightly altered. The ribbon trailing behind her was now double-pleated, and a small green neckband encircled her neck. She pointed at Galaxia with one hand and placed the other on her hip. "You have disturbed the peace of this planet and threatened my friends. I can't allow that!" She posed along with Tuxedo Jedi and continued. "In the name of the Force, we'll punish you!"

She held her hand out palm-up. A wavy sphere of energy appeared in it and she shouted, "Shockwave!", rearing back and throwing it at Galaxia.

The sphere quickly grew into the size of a basketball by the time it exploded against Galaxia's shield.

The demon didn't even flinch at the explosion, though. "Playtime is over," she said, gathering up tremendous amounts of energy and beginning to glow. "Now you die."

Tuxedo Jedi reflexively grabbed Coruscant's hand. "I have an idea."

Coruscant glanced at him, a slight smirk on her lips. "I think I know what you're planning. Luna once described combined attacks to us during one of her training sessions." She concentrated on the link she shared with Luke, the bond they shared through the Force and through their very souls.

Their clenched fists grew bright, and they both shouted, "Light of Hope!" A white beam shot out from their hands, striking Galaxia's shield with a sudden intensity.

The beam strobed over the translucent barrier, wearing it down. Sweat formed on Galaxia's brow as she struggled to maintain the barrier...

Aluminum Seiren raised her arms above her head and shouted, "Galactica Tsunami!" Streams of watery blue energy streamed around her arms and shot off at the two Jedi Masters, but they broke off their attack and dodged Seiren's attack.

Sailor Mars clenched her fists together, index fingers extended. "Fire…" she shouted as orange flame erupted from her gloved hands." …Soul!" Flames shot at Seiren, but the ditzy Senshi somehow managed to leap up and out of the way.

Down the street, Sailors Lead Crow and Tin Nyanko approached Han, Chewie and Lowie. "They will be easy pickings," Lead Crow said, cracking her whip in an almost playful fashion.

Lowie roared and brandished his lightsaber. "Do be careful, Master Lowbacca!" Em Teedee worried.

The young Wookiee rolled his eyes before charging at the two Senshi, followed by a bowcaster firing Chewie.

Tin Nyanko quickly held up her bazooka and fired off a missile. It exploded between the Wookiees, knocking them back and to the street.

Han's lips curled in an angry sneer. "No! Damn you!" he shouted, quick-drawing and firing off a dozen shots from his blaster.

Lead Crow and Tin Nyanko almost lazily dodged the red energy bolts with feints and leaps, rapidly closing the distance to him.

Before they could reach him and gut him, two humans emerged from an alley between them and Han. "Stay away from my father!" Anakin shouted, brandishing his lightsaber.

Sailor Saturn’s own violet plasma blade was at the ready as well. "Sorry we're late, Mister Solo."

Han let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding and his shoulders sagged slightly. "It's all right, kid." He holstered his blaster and watched as Anakin and Hotaru approached Tin Nyanko and Lead Crow.

"I'll take the ugly one," Anakin said.

Hotaru looked at him and smirked. "Which one's the ugly one?"

Lead Crow's red eyes bugged out in anger and her tan skin turned beet-red. "What? Why you insolent little insect, I'll-"

She stepped forward, but Tin Nyanko surreptitiously stuck her foot out, tripping the angry Senshi and sending her stumbling forward. Lead Crow’s right arm jutted out, partially breaking her fall, but the left side of her face hit the concrete road, cutting her cheek and forehead.

Tin Nyanko's golden eyes betrayed mock concern as she surveyed her comrade. She clutched her hands together and held them up to her cheek. "Oh, my! You'd better be careful, Lead Crow. Our enemies pack more punch than a simple road."

Lead Crow quickly got to her feet and quickly marched forward up to the felinoid’s Senshi and poked her in the chest. "You-you tripped me!" she stuttered, her voice rising in anger.

Tin Nyanko simply smiled, baring her fangs. "You'll have to prove that to Galaxia, and all she will see and hear is that you couldn't avoid a simple foot." She locked eyes with Lead Crow, and the taller Senshi backed up a bit.

Anakin and Hotaru watched the goings on. "Do you have any idea what's going on?" he asked her.

The rather diminutive Senshi of death shrugged. "I have no idea. Maybe I'll understand when I'm older, but I hope not."

Farther back down the street, Galaxia surveyed the situation. Two more of her warriors were now dead, and she could sense reinforcements heading that way. She snarled and cried out, "Retreat!" Lead Crow, Tin Nyanko, Aluminum Seiren and Iron Mouse all stood up and teleported out, leaving Galaxia alone to deliver one final threat. "This isn't over,” she snarled just before vanishing.

Tuxedo Jedi and Sailor Coruscant quickly reverted back to Luke and Mara, while everyone gathered around the Jedi Masters. "Nice tux, kid," Han chuckled, slapping him on the back.

Luke paid him no mind, instead focusing on Sailors Corellia and Moon. "You two were fighting each other." he stated, his eyes narrowing.

The two young women shook their heads in protest. "No, Uncle Luke," Corellia said.

Moon looked down and away from his glare. "I was fighting Chaos, not Jaina."

Luke's blue eyes narrowed even more. "Do not lie to me. You didn't want the other Senshi to grab the honor of sealing Chaos away."

Sailors Corellia and Moon started to protest, but they soon stopped talking under Luke's glare. He began pacing back and forth a bit before continuing. "Because of your petty jealousies, a prime opportunity to end this was wasted." He motioned to Sailors Venus and Alderaan. "We must intensify everyone's training. Minako, work with Leia. Leia, work with Minako. Tenel Ka will continue with Makoto, and Mara and I shall work with Rei."

He turned back to the two cowed Senshi and his nostrils flared. "You two will work with each other. Train her well, Jaina. All of our lives depend on you two."

The Jedi Master turned and began walking back to the temple, Mara and Rei trailing behind him. Sailor Corellia and Sailor Moon reverted back to their civilian forms.

"Jaina?" Usagi asked. "How does he know that you're training me?"

The young woman shrugged. "He's Uncle Luke. That's why."

Sailor Alderaan took the point and posed. "I am the Senshi of life, Sailor Alderaan. When life is threatedned, I am disturbed… and life will no longer be threatened after that."

Very appropriate line there. And great fight scene, though for the record, it would be more smooth if people didn't immediately start commenting on "nice speech" every time someone made one. If I were a villain, I'd wait for the speech and then decimate everyone while they were high-fiving each other on the discourse.

"I am Sailor Alderaan, the soldier of life!" she yelled, throwing Han a salute.

The former smuggler looked his wife up and down. "Hey, not too bad." He walked up to her and whispered in her ear. "Would you care to punish me?"


Heehee... that made me grin. grin Loved Leia's transformation.


"Jaina?" Usagi asked. "How does he know that you're training me?"

The young woman shrugged. "He's Uncle Luke. That's why."

And now Usagi knows that Uncle Luke knows everything. tongue

I read this a couple of days ago but didn't have the time to respond until now . . . so here goes.

So Luke's gonna be kicking butt with a tuxedo on, eh? There's never enough men bashing heads with tuxedos. *cues James Bond theme*

Yeah, wrong franchise, sorry. tongue

Very exciting post! Han's as funny as ever. I'm, ah, sure that Leia could come up with very interesting punishments for her husband. tongue

Still, Galaxia's gotta get taken down a peg.

And if my opponent was making a speech I'd just rush him and take care of him then. But that's the way anime works. In an anime-verse like SM that's something you gotta deal with, I suppose.

And Leia's joined the Senshi. I'm sure Han's really happy about that, not just because Leia's all-powerful now . . . seriously, the Senshi have to do something about the short skirts. tongue

Anyway, great post and thanks for the PM, Striker.

Who's Grandpa, though? Anakin Skywalker?

No! Rei-chan's ojii-chan! Telling him what's she'd been hollaring about would be a giant headache... and Mara'd just get mad when he ogled her and asked her to work at the temple...



And Sakabato-Shunichi will be unleashing cans of whoop-@$$ on evil-doers. Imagine her with her lightsaber and sakabato out, with Jupiter standing next to her with her double-bladed lightsaber ignited.

Is that a request? angel



Rabid L/M shippers should take heed while reading this post. It contains:
1. Force bonding.
2. COmbined attacks.
3. both of them acting cool and powerful.


*deep breath* *Yoda's Force-ghost appears beside Jaded_Girl, sagely reprimanding, "Control, control! You must learn control!"



Artemis sighed, then raked his claws against Minako's exposed thigh. The blond let out a yelp of pain, then kicked at the scurrying cat. "When I get my hands on you!" she yelled, chasing after him.

That was mean, Artemis! (Of course, between Luna and Minako, I suppose he should get a bit of his own back... I mean, really! At least the other senshi resect Luna! Artemis gets no respect! Poor Artemis...)



The former smuggler looked his wife up and down. "Hey, not too bad." He walked up to her and whispered in her ear. "Would you care to punish me?"

And Han says the words that we've been waiting to hear over five seasons and 18 manga volumes! Go Han! peace laugh



She looked over at Lowie, who was protecting Artemis from a vengeful Minako.

Awwww! Cute visual! love



~Rei gritted her teeth and smiled. "Oh, I will."...
~Both Luke and Sailor Coruscant's danger sense went into immediate overdrive. "Rei, be careful!" Luke shouted.
~The Senshi of the flame turned from Ali's battered body and nodded. "Sure thing."


cool



The redheaded Anima-Mate sneered, a malicious glint shining in her eyes. Coruscant sighed and moaned, "Not again" right before electric current shot through her body, sending her into spasms.

Gah! The baby!!! *reads further* *sighs* Oh, good, they're all right!



Their clenched fists grew bright, and they both shouted, "Light of Hope!" A white beam shot out from their hands, striking Galaxia's shield with a sudden intensity.... The beam strobed over the translucent barrier, wearing it down. Sweat formed on Galaxia's brow as she struggled to maintain the barrier...

Two words: BOO YEAH! XD grin grin grin



"Jaina?" Usagi asked. "How does he know that you're training me?"
The young woman shrugged. "He's Uncle Luke. That's why."


And he knows all! (As his first comment to them indicates!) *high-pitched squeal* HE'S... SO... COOL!!!! cool love


Uppers!

SSM12-Thanks. I liked Leia transforming too. And yeah, I had to include some L/M mush. grin

Ish-Thanks. About the speeches; it's a mandatory anime thing in Sailor Moon. They have to make them and the bad guys will almost never attack when they're being made. wink And glad you liked that line, too.

Taeniaea-Thank you. happy

Idrelle-LOL thanks. I know Han would definitely say something like that, too. And yes, Luke knows all. wink

Kidan-Glad you liked the line, and thank you.

Lady_Jade-Yes, you have to love it. tongue No problem about missing the posts, either. Those cousins do sound like a handful.

Mac-LOL yeah. And considering the number of franchises I've put in here already... why not Bond? wink Although I don't think James uses a rose. Galaxia will get taken down a peg... but not yet. Yes, Han is really happy. laugh laugh But nothing will be done about the skirts. They're a trademark, after all!. wink

Jaded_Girl-Oh... him. No, he'll stay sound asleep. And... sure, why not? Yes, that is a request for a picture of that. When you have the time, that is. Compared to last time, you controlled yourself pretty well, actually. And of course Han says it. Who else would? The baby and Mara are all right... for now. devil devil And yes, Luke is cool.

*Clears throat* this past Friday, my sister Jennifer Aube-Huang gave birth to her son, my first nephew, David John Huang. A week early, and both Mommy and Baby are doing fine.



Here we go!

*****
Minako, Makoto, Rei, Usagi and Mamoru lived, ate and breathed the ways of the Jedi for the next two weeks. And Anja and Leia trained heavily in the use of their powers as Sailor Senshi. Ami and Tionne continued their search for Galaxia's hideout, and Hotaru continued high school. The days were long for all.

Luke stood with Rei in her shrine‘s back area. Her eyes were blindfolded as she held Luke's lightsaber, set for training mode. A training remote hovered around her from the Saber, darting around.

"You must reach out and learn to think beyond the moment," he intoned, walking around with his right hand out in front. The remote quickly zipped around and fired off a rapid succession of low-power bolts.

Rei's arms blurred she deflected them away with a spang, sending them up into the air or ricocheting off objects. Mara watched from the opposite side of Luke. "Excellent. We can begin construction of your lightsaber soon, maybe in two days."

Rei smiled as she continued deflecting bolts, sweat forming on her brow beneath her raven-black hair. "Where will I find a crystal?" she asked.

Mara's eyes looked around and she shrugged. "You can find them anywhere, Rei. You simply have to know where to look."

The remote suddenly stopped and floated to the ground. Rei deactivated the lightsaber and pulled off the blindfold, shaking her head and her long hair at the same time. She tossed the lightsaber at Luke, who caught it one-handed and clipped it to his belt. "Your skills are improving, as well as your control over your anger."

Rei bowed deeply at the waist. "Thank you, Master. It would have been impossible without you."

Mara walked over to the pair. "I'm going over to the ships and check on Leia's progress. She‘s definitely got the speech part down, and I bet she‘s all right with her powers too."

Luke nodded, his mouth tilting up slightly. "I have a meeting with Setsuna, Haruka and Michiru." The two embraced and kissed before breaking off.

Mara headed out, but she stopped and looked back at Luke. "Hey!" she shouted.

Luke glanced at her with his sky-blue eyes, and she hesitated a moment before continuing. "Be careful," she finally blurted out.

Luke nodded, then tossed her a salute before walking off. He paused near the front of the yard where Tenel Ka, Jacen and Makoto were practicing. Makoto and Jacen were watching Tenel Ka twirling her two blades around, her turquoise-colored lightsaber and her new sakabato. The air whistled around her as she thrust them forward, then brought the sakabato back for a back-thrust, followed up with an overhead slash from her lightsaber.

Tenel Ka felt his eyes on her and she stopped, deactivating her rancor-tooth lightsaber and turning to him. “How did I look, Master?” she asked, nervousness slightly on her voice.

A small smile crossed the Jedi Master’s lips. “Excellent form, Tenel Ka. And you’ve adapted to two arms perfectly.”

Tenel Ka’s cheeks colored slightly and she swallowed. Luke turned to Makoto. “Have you begun construction of your lightsaber? Tenel Ka indicated you’ve made great progress in your studies.”

Makoto breathed out. “Well… it’s a little hard building it, but Ami’s been helping me out. I’m more a baker than an electrician,” she said, ending with a short laugh. “Anyway… I’m going with a less traditional design, to complement my fighting style.”

Luke nodded, then turned to Jacen. “And you, my nephew?”

The young man scratched the back of his head. “Well… I can last ten minutes against Tenel Ka before I’m on the floor with bruises all over my body?”

Luke paused for a moment, the birds chirping loudly in the silence. “You might want to work on that,” he finally said before nodding his head and walking out.
*****
Luke arrived at the Outer Senshi's mansion ten minutes later. With a flick of the Force, the iron gates opened and allowed the Jedi Master access. Instead of entering the front doors, he immediately went to the backyard.

There, Haruka and Michiru dueled with training remotes under the careful tutelage of Meiou Setsuna, Jedi Master. The Senshi of time stood off to the side sipping tea while Haruka and Michiru dodged and deflected bolts.

Luke gently cleared his throat, catching their attention. Setsuna turned her ancient eyes to the remotes and reached out with the Force, telekinetically turning them off. "I thought your planet didn't have that technology," he said, walking to the hovering spheres.

Setsuna glanced at him. "Leia let us borrow them from the Falcon."

Haruka smirked. "It beats trying to dodge flying rocks."

Luke's right eyebrow arched at that. "Well, shall we begin?"

Michiru nodded and lead the quartet up to a large white patio attached to the house. "I assume you'd like to talk about our involvement with Chaos seven years ago," she stated, sitting down at a table.

Luke sat next to her. "Out of all the Senshi, you two had the most contact with her and the greatest insight into what her army is like."

He looked at them imploringly, but Haruka closed her blue eyes and shook her head. "Sorry, Master Skywalker, but Michiru and I have almost no usable information concerning that.” A rueful smile crossed her lips as she breathed in and continued. "We didn't even know lightsaber plasma could block her starseed-stealing attacks."

Luke shrugged. "It was worth a shot, and the only thing we could do at the time." A thought suddenly struck him. "Is jealousy a natural part of being a Senshi?"

Michiru chuckled. "If you're referring to Jaina and Usagi, don't worry. Usagi has a way of befriending anyone. Trust us on that."

Luke nodded, his serious expression cracking a bit. He peered over at the field where Michiru and Haruka were practicing. "How are they coming along?" he asked Setsuna.

She thought for a moment before replying. "I believe that after this, they can be promoted to Jedi Knight."

Luke nodded and then rose from his seat, cape swirling about his form. "I must go."

The three Senshi quickly jumped to their feet in respect. "May the Force be with you, Luke," Setsuna said.

Luke tilted his head slightly, then glanced at Haruka and Michiru before heading off.

Michiru's sky-blue eyes tracked the Jedi Master and a chill ran up her spine as his image receded. "I have a bad feeling, like we'll never see him again."

Haruka scoffed at her best friend. "Come on, he's Luke Skywalker! What can hurt him?"
*****
Luke's feet quickly carried him away from the mansion and out of Tokyo, onto the path leading to the Falcon and Saber. He stopped halfway to the ships and turned around. "Hello, Galaxia."

The winged demon descended, leathery wings folding around her armored body. "When you fall, the others shall fall as well."

A wan smile crossed Luke's face. "When I am dead, the Jedi shall carry on. I am merely a link to the past."

Galaxia walked up to him, but he stood his ground. "You underestimate your worth, Skywalker. A whole galaxy looks to you as a savior, almost a messianic figure." The fallen Senshi stood a half-meter away from the Jedi Master, her breath hot and rather putrid. "Your death shall be the first step."

Luke belted out a laugh. "Don't you know, Chaos? There is no death, only the Force."

The demon snarled, but Luke was already bounding away to the treetops. He sent out telepathic signals through the Force. I am fighting Chaos, please hurry! He didn't know if he would be heard, but at the moment, he didn't care.

Luke landed on a branch and unclipped his lightsaber, sending an argent green blade forth. Urgent inquiries from his wife, sister and the other Jedi and Senshi bounded around in his head, but he shut it out. He whipped around, bringing his lightsaber up in order to deflect a few energy blasts from Galaxia.

The demon hovered near him, then reared back and flew straight at him! Galaxia rammed her right shoulder into his midsection, pitching him off the branch and knocking his lightsaber from his hand with the edge of one of her leathery wings.

Luke tumbled to the ground, but a sense of serenity washed over him as he crashed. He sensed Mara, Leia and others heading to him. He knew they wouldn't reach him in time, but that was okay. He knew at least he would be able to say goodbye to them.

The Jedi Master let out a cry of pain as he struck the dirt. Galaxia landed near him, right hand glowing a brilliant white. "Now, die," she snarled, firing off a white energy sphere.

At that moment, Sailors Coruscant and Alderaan came crashing through the underbrush. "Luke!" Coruscant yelled.

Luke sat up at the sound of his wife's voice and smiled-just in time to be hit right in the chest by Galaxia's attack. Coruscant's eyes widened in horror and time slowed to a crawl for her. "NO!" she shouted.

Alderaan's brown eyes glanced at her brother, a look of undisguised horror on her regal face. "No, you can't!"

Galaxia looked back at them. "Yes, I can." She turned her red eyes back to Luke as a shining white crystal emerged from his chest and levitated to the demon's clawed hand. She plucked it out of the air and examined the shining bauble. "Such power…" she murmured before teleporting away.

Coruscant and Alderaan quickly reverted back to Mara and Leia before running over to the fallen Jedi. Mara's arms scooped her husband up. "You can't be dead!" she cried out, tears pouring from her eyes. “Please, wake up!” She placed her hands on his chest and opened their bond up fully, letting her own energy flow into him. “Please… I need you… we need you...”

Luke's eyes fluttered open and looked up at her. His hand weakly grasped and entwined with hers. "Luminous…beings are…we," he gasped out.

Leia leaned over. "Come on, Luke! Fight this!" A gasp escaped her lips when Luke's body began fading, becoming translucent.

Mara felt his weight leaving him, along with her happiness. Other people approached, but she didn't care. She bent down and kissed Luke on the forehead. "I love you, Luke. And our child loves you too."

Luke smiled. "I love you too, Mara." And with those words, he vanished.

Leia collapsed beside her sister-in-law, clutching her chest in pain and grimacing in utter pain.

Mara looked at her, feeling her internal walls crumble. She put her arms around Leia and pulled her in for a hug, bawling like a child. Neither looked up as Setsuna, Tionne, Han, Mamoru and Usagi, Jaina and the rest gathered around.
*****
All eventually gathered at Haruka and Michiru's mansion, a hole in everyone’s soul about the size of an earnest Jedi Master.

In the living room, Jaina and Usagi sat in silence. "It's my fault," Jaina finally muttered, her brown eyes staring a hole in the carpet.

Usagi looked over at her. "Don't take all the blame for yourself. I was there."

A faint smile lit Jaina's somber expression. "Fine, then. We both messed up." She leaned over and offered her hand, which Usagi accepted.

Upstairs, Ami sat in a guest bedroom on the floor, hunched over with her mini-computer in her lap. Her right hand typed furiously and her eyes burned from strain. Still, she would not stop.

In her mind, she failed Master Skywalker. Now the man who seemed more like a father to her than her own biological father was prisoner of Galaxia. So wrapped up was she, the blue-haired genius didn't even feel Tionne's presence until she was right in front of her. Ami suddenly looked up in shock. "Oh!" she cried out.

Tionne smiled and sat down next to her. "You seem…distracted."

Ami's eyes went back to the screen in front of her and she rubbed them, clearing some of the cobwebs. "I must find Galaxia's hideout. I must!" Her hands blurred as she typed and talked. "If I had found Galaxia's hideout earlier, if we had gone there to stop Chaos-"

Tionne interrupted her. "If I was more interested in helping you out rather than United States history, we might've found the enemy's hideout earlier." She placed a reassuring hand on Ami's shoulder and let soothing thoughts flow through the contact. "The burden of blame is not yours, Ami."

Ami blinked tears away and glanced back at her mini-computer. "Thank you, Tionne." The elven Jedi Master nodded and leaned forward to examine Ami's data, and the pair began the attempt to narrow down Galaxia's hideout.

In the rest of the house, everyone milled about, not sure what to do. Mara sat at a table with Leia and Han, too numb to feel or do anything or to care. Her green eyes were bloodshot, her skin was pale, and sobs still occasionally wracked her body.

Leia just sat there with Han, his arm wrapped around her shoulder and a look of cold anger on his face. The princess alternated between expressions of deep sorrow and murderous rage, herself.

Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna stood in one corner, while the younger ones milled about. Anja’s eyes looked around the room, not quite believing the malaise that had settled upon her friends. There’s only one way to snap them out of this funk, she thought.

Anja marched over to the table and jumped onto it, startling everyone. "Okay, what in the nine hells of Corellia has gotten into you people?" she shouted. "Okay, Luke is gone, but he's not gone permanently." She looked over at Setsuna. "Weren't you the one who said that we can get the enemy's starseeds back and restore them? Well, if them, why not Luke?"

Silence reigned for a moment before Setsuna found her voice. "Well…yes."

Mara looked up at Anja. She winced as she remembered that. "Oh, by the spires of Alderaan," she said, smacking her forehead. "It was just the pain of losing Luke and the hormones from being pregnant…"

Anja looked down at her from the table. "It wasn't just that, was it."

The new mother’s eyes flickered back and forth as she formulated an answer. "No, it wasn't. When I lost the connection to Luke, a part of myself vanished with him." She looked over at Leia. "I think only Leia knows what I feel right now."

Mara got to her shaky feet. "But, I know Luke. And you're right, Anja. None of us can mope around here. We have to defeat Chaos and save the ones taken prisoner."

Anja leapt down from the table and grinned. "Now that's the Mara Jade I know."

Leia abruptly slammed her fist on the table, drawing everyone's attention. "I know what Luke would want us to do. He'd want us to fight against this evil." She rose to her feet and began walking over to Mara and Anja. "If we want to survive, we must fight!"

Halfway to the pair, she stopped walking and looked to the skylight. "Something's coming!" she shouted.

Setsuna walked to the middle of the ballroom, her neck craning as she looked to the skylight. She held out her right hand and concentrated, summoning her transformation wand. "Pluto Crystal Power Makeup!" she shouted. A green light enveloped her and, when faded, Sailor Pluto stood there. Her time staff was held high and she half-shouted, "Dark Dome Close!"

A crystalline barrier formed above everyone's heads about two seconds before the skylight imploded, sending down a rain of razor-sharp shards.

Usagi and Jaina ran in from the living room. "We've got company!" Jaina shouted.

Usagi glanced back at the living room and pointed. "The Phantom Sisters and Amazoness Quartet just busted through the front door! What'll we do?"

Haruka looked up to the ceiling and gritted her teeth. "Ami and Tionne are upstairs!" She sent a message to the pair through the Force. Get out. Escape. The blond tomboy then checked her watch. "Hotaru's still in school along with Anakin. They weren't able to get out when Luke's starseed was captured."

Usagi looked around. "We must transform, now!" She and Jaina held their hands to the sky, summoning their transformation wands and shouting,

"Corellia Crystal Power Makeup!"

"Moon Eternal Makeup!"

A blizzard of feathers enveloped Usagi's body, melting her clothes into a Sailor Fuku complete with cloth wings, a white, heart-shaped bow tied on front, white knee-high boots and a multi-colored skirt.

A gray energy field, meanwhile, surrounded Jaina. It turned her clothes into a Sailor Fuku with a gray bow on front and a black miniskirt. Ankle boots and elbow-length gloves completed the ensemble.

A half-second later, Sailors Moon and Corellia stood there. Moon's eyes swept the room. "Well, what are you waiting for?" she asked. Twelve cries subsequently sounded from the ballroom.

"Dathomir Crystal Power Makeup!"

"Tatooine Crystal Power Makeup!"

"Coruscant Star Power Makeup!"

"Alderaan Power Makeup!"

"Bespin Power Makeup!"

"Chiron Power Makeup!"

"Melodie Power Makeup!"

"Uranus Crystal Power Makeup!"

"Neptune Crystal Power Makeup!"

"Jupiter Crystal Power Makeup!"

"Venus Crystal Power Makeup!"

"Mars Crystal Power Makeup!"

For a moment of eternity, the ballroom glowed brighter than a supernova. When the light faded, the Sailor Senshi stood ready for battle.

Dathomir unclipped her lightsaber and unsheathed her sakabato and, with Uranus and Jupiter, headed for the door to the living room. "We must be ready," Jupiter said.

Suddenly, the wall exploded. Dathomir’s arms raised and she crossed her two weapons in front of her while shouting, "Hapan Wall of Protection!" A crystalline barrier formed, deflecting the debris.

Chewie and Lowie unholstered their bowcasters and, with primal screams, began firing into the dust cloud. Han soon joined his two friends, pure fury etched on his face. "This is for Luke, you Hutt slime!" he shouted.

The dust soon cleared, revealing the Phantom Sisters and the Amazoness Quartet. Pallapalla looked at Han with a slightly psychotic look. "You shot at me! I'm gonna hurt you!" The blue-haired woman jumped up and somersaulted over Dathomir's barrier, landing in front of Han. She kicked at him, but the former smuggler dodged back and rolled.

Sailor Alderaan saw the attack on her husband. "Stay away from him!" she shouted. Lightning formed around her body. "Twilight Pulse!" The onyx bolts shot off from her hands, enveloping Pallapalla and slamming the immature woman back into a wall and through it, sending plaster everywhere.

Petz looked at Alderaan and sneered. "Why is everyone copying my lightning? Dark Lightning!" she shouted clenching her fist as lightning enveloped her arms, enabling her to rush Dathomir slide between her blades and shoulderblock the Hapan princess aside while rushing right at Alderaan.

The brunette Senshi of peace had only enough time to gasp before she was barreled over and knocked into Han. Pallapalla looked up at Petz and held her hand to her chin in thought. "Wow! Can you teach me to do that?"

Petz glanced over at her and contempt shone in her green eyes as she sneered. "Grow up, first."

Uranus unclipped her Space Sword from her skirt and settled into an attack stance with the blade and lightsaber. "For love and justice, I shall send you to hell!" She charged at Calaveras and Koan.

The elder Phantom Sister backed up, then grabbed Koan and shoved her forward. "Oh!" Koan cried. She stumbled forward-and was impaled on Uranus' golden-colored lightsaber.

Uranus snarled and kicked the light blue-haired Sister off the plasma blade. "Double Space Sword Blaster!" she shouted, slicing both blades down. Twin crescent-shaped energy blasts shot off from the blades, striking Calaveras in the chest and slicing up the gold blouse she wore-as well as the flesh beneath. Greenish blood spurted from the wound, and her mouth opened in a gurgling scream as she fell.

Uranus' blue eyes looked around. "Who's next?"

In response, Galaxia and the Sailor Anima-Mates descended from the destroyed skylight. "I am."
