"There will be an evil you will not be able to defeat... And, in your moment of weakness..."

"Who are you and what are you talking about?"

"I can assure you that you've definitely heard these words before, have you not?"

"Why am I being plagued with you...? All the time... All the time... All the... time..."

"Because I was always plaguing you, ever since all of this fighting started. I was always there, just telling you about how your people dhal always weaken to my power. You know that. Do you really need to know who I am? Heh heh. I am Queen and leader of this movement. The movement is called the Dark Planet."

"Oh... The Dark... Planet..."

"The Dark Planet Visionary. Heh heh. You're strange, Serenity. Powerless too."

"Powerless?! How dare you! Whether you like it or not, I have the Silver Moon Crystal at my disposal and I can readily get rid of you when I feel you are too much trouble, and you're really getting on my nerves right now. I shouldn't even need to know who you are to be able to defeat you. Your organisation sounds like a made up name. You're probably trying to fool me. You cannot be Queen of a Visionary."

"I am well aware that you are in possession of the Ginzuishou. However, it doesn't mean you alone can prevent me. I'm sure that you are well aware of me. Do you want me to state who I truly am? I am Queen of The Dark Empire."

"I will not allow any destruction of Crystal Tokyo's peace. I can't and I won't. I WON'T ALLOW IT! I WON'T ALLOW IT!!"

I took in a sharp breath of air as I rose from the vision, snapping my eyes open as I breathed heavily. I breathed repeatedly, in and out, in and out. I was choking on the air as I adjusted to my surroundings. The surroundings blurred into focus, and I remrmbered where I was. I was in the Meiou-Ikeda Research Facility. They must have heard me say a few things with in this vision. Or they thought that I was crazy for seeming to talk within my slumbers. I panted fast and I couldn't catch my breath. What was this Dark Empire and what did they need our peaceful Crystal Tokyo for? I had always predicted that this peace wouldn't last forever, but now...

Now, I wasn't so sure about it. No, not at all. I wasn't sure why something had to come just now. Shouldn't the peace have lasted longer than this? It was horrible that people thought that it was ideal to interrupt our peaceful time. I sighed and looked at Setsuna, who looked concerned about me and what exactly was going on. Why was the peacefulness always interrupted? Why does peace always have to be so short-lived? I looked at Setduna again. I needed to tell her what was going on in these visions. Just so she didn't think I was insane. But, this wasn't for me at all, it was for Crystal Tokyo. I had kids and adults that looked up to me as a role model. I needed to make this world proud, before it was too late to do anything. So, I got up and went over to Setsuna.

"Serenity?" she gasped. "What happened back there, Your Highness?"

"Don't call me 'Your Highness', for it is too formal," I berated her. "Setsuna, I wish to alert you of the visions I have been having recently."

"What has been happening in those visions, if you don't mind me asking?" Rin queried, adding her concern to Setsuna's.

"Usually just the normal sort of thing. A foretelling of destruction with an enemy and a threat of destroying our peace," I replied. "They've been increasing ever since the attacks started happening. They called me weak and threatened at my possible... well, death."

"Death... Strange..." Setsuna mused. "How often have these visions been occuring, if you wouldn't mind telling me?"

"Every time I fall asleep," I stated. "It has become so common that I haven't worried about it too much."

"Every time you fall asleep?" Rin repeated, shocked. "Well, this is strange. Setsuna? Can you grab Ami-san for me? We might need her to play a part in this investigation."

"Yes, Rin." She tapped her communicator watch and announced, "Mizuno Ami, I need you to come to the research facility promptly. We need your presence there to discuss something too important to disclose." There was some muffled conversation and then she addressed Rin another time, saying, "Ami will arrive shortly." Setsuna then sat at the computer, where there were various clicking noises heard and then a beep. Rin took that as a signal and peered through the intercom, where she saw Ami's face peering through the little screen.

"All clear," Rin told Ami, signalling to Setsuna to open the door. Setsuna pressed a button, and the doors whooshed open in response.

"Setsuna, what did you call me here for?" Ami asked. "And why is Usagi here?"

"Oh. Here is the information I have for you." Setsuna motioned for Ami to follow her.

She walked towarrs the computer and there was muffled conversation before Ami got out her Mercury Computer and groaned over some information. She handed her Mercury Computer to Setsuna who sighed. She shook her head and muttered something inaudible to Rin, who shook her head. Rin just muttered something to Ami, who stared at me and said something to her own communicator watch. Something to Seiya or Chibi-Usa, possibly. She waved to Rin who sighed as she heard an explosion. There was another attack in the city and it was possible a few more people might die as a result. I sighed as I realised I might not be able to help. Just once, I had wanted to help with something I couldn't. I just wanted to help, but the enemy was right. I was weak as all hell.

"Usagi, wait here. We're going to have to fight another Youma and possibly their master," Setsuna addressed me.

"Well! How about us three and Makoto team up," Rin suggested.

"Right!" Ami agreed. "Mercury Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Pluto Crystal Power! Make Up!"

"Zodiac Crystal Power! Make Up!"

"Jupiter Crystal Power! Make Up!"

"Mars Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Venus Crystal Power! Make Up!"

"Pink Moon Crystal Power... Make Up!"

"Saturn Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Ceres Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Pallas Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Juno Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Vesta Crystal Power, Make Up!"

All the senshi had transformed, including Galaxia. But, I was useless, and I couldn't do anything.

'I can assist.'
