Introduction

The control center was silent and dark. The table, normally filled with goodies, weapons and other items is bare. It is cool within the room, made so by its underground location, several feet below the grounds of the Juuban Crown Karaoke and Arcade. Though the hideout of many a sailor soldier, at the moment there was no one present.

"Greetings, friends!"

The lights clicked on. A solitary female figure stood in the doorway. She wore a pink shirt, with yellow sleeves, and a yellow skirt. On her feet were knee-high white boots, and around her waist was a chain. She had blue hair, put up into two buns and ponytails. She gave a smile, showing her somewhat crooked teeth.

"Hello, everyone!" She descended down the stairs. "It's me, Luna, in my human form! Wow, it's good to be back here again! Especially after the battles we've been having lately."

Skipping over to the refrigerator, the girl took out several different candies and treats. Popcorn, chocolate, cheese sticks and other assorted items came onto the table, along with plates and cups, colored blue.

"Recently," the girl paused. "With the falling out between the girls who fight for love and justice, something terrible had happened. The soldier known as Sailor Mercury was given a dose of dark power, and was transformed into a soldier of evil who called herself Sailor Darkury - the Dark Mercury soldier. Led into the darkness by Kunzite, one of the four generals whom we fight, our beloved Ami-chan, Mercury's human form, was torn away from us and was forced to fight for the enemy."

The girl went back into the fridge and took out various drinks, including soda, juice, milk and water. She placed all of them inside a cooler, and with several grunts dragged the cooler out into the middle of the floor near the table.

"But….nrrrrgh!" The girl gave a gasp as she finished the job. "But hope wasn't completely lost. Because several things happened to help bring Ami-chan back to us, and to strengthen our position. First and most important, our princess - the lost Moon Princess, Selenity - turned out to be none other than our own Usagi-chan, who turns into the soldier for love and justice, Sailor Moon! Within her is the Illusionary Silver Crystal - the most powerful talisman in the universe. And so with joy we found that the one thing which the enemy needs to complete their mission is in our hands, safe."

The girl gave a grin as she took out her cell phone. In it, she pressed several numbers.

"When the power of the crystal showered onto us, the some of the girls partially recovered their memories. And I earned this!" She held it up. "Luna Prism Power, Make-Up!"

With that, the young girl was immersed with a bright yellow light. When the light disappeared, the girl had transformed into a sailor soldier, with a yellow and purple sailor suit. She also had cat ears now as well.

"That's right!" The girl posed. "I'm the soldier of justice and of small things, Sailor Luna! And I......I....iah.......ah.......aaaaaaaaaaaaaah....."

The girl suddenly shut her eyes tightly. She quickly went to cover her nose, and her back arched back as the inevitable body function did its work.

"......CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

In a flash, the transformation dissolved. A golden light surrounded the girl, and the light seemed to shrink her until, finally, all that was left of the girl was a small, purple stuffed cat toy.

"Ohhhhh...." The little stuffed toy shut its eyes tightly. "Oh......I hate that.......annnnnyways......"

With that, the cat jumped up onto the table. It looked around the room with a slight hint of disappointment.

"The decorations will come later.....well, anyways...." The cat sat down. "Another good thing that happened was Ami-chan was showered in the light of the crystal as well. So, eventually, the spell broke, though it wasn't a smooth ride even then."

At this, the cat's ears perked up. The sounds of laughing voices could be heard in the hallway.

"But.....that's all behind us now!" The cat jumped back up. Its yellow crescent moon sign sparkled, as if to beckon some unseen entity in the room. "Darkury's gone forever, and Ami's back with us. And now our group is stronger than ever in their friendship. So, we're celebrating to fall of the soldier of evil. Come on in and join us - there's food and treats for all!"

Slowly, the door began to open. Four girls began to come in, cheering and shouting.

"Let's PARTY!!!"
