7: Meanwhile, in the depths of Shinjuku
Sailor Moon hadn't quite withdrawn her hand, leaving it outstretched, waiting for a new ally to take it. "They... left..." It shouldn't have been as surprising as it was. The outers were initially aloof with her but had become close friends. Perhaps these Eclipse shadows would be too.
"Wait!" Sun shouted, darting off in the direction Saturnalius and Neptunusia had left. They were allies, and they had to work together to fight this chaos. Sun knew something was up. Phefe had warned her that chaos was trying to return, but Saturnalius seemed to know so much more. "Please wait!" And yet even as far as she'd run, she couldn't find them.
She came to a stop, letting her arms hang limply to the side. "What's going on, Phefe? What's with those two? Why won't they stay?"
The blue cat emerged from the shadows. "Saturnalius definitely knows something more than we do. Whatever memory she has, the rest of us seem to have sealed." Until now she'd kept herself hidden, following Sun from the sidelines. She wasn't particularly fond of the rain, but she was Sun's guardian. She had to be there for her.
Sun frowned. The bigger questioned seemed to be, why won't they share the information? The sailor senshi were known as a team, shadows or otherwise. Sun liked teamwork. Then no one was left alone to bear all the weight.
"Another cat guardian?" Luna interrupted, trotting up to meet them. Mars wasn't far behind, dragging Moon by the wrist. Moon was still rather crushed from the rejection.
"It makes sense you should have a counterpart too," Mars noted aloud with a nod. She seemed a little wary of the idea of having shadow counterparts, but with the vision she had the previous week, it all made sense. The senshi wearing red with Makoto's hair surrounded by fire. It had to be Sun. Those other elements must be the other shadow senshi, the Eclipse.
"The sun and the moon," Moon spoke up, taking Sun's hand suddenly. "We're opposites, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends. You don't need to be alone."
"Here, take this," Luna offered. With a little Luna magic, she'd conjured up another wristwatch communicator all the current senshi carried. It greatly resembled Moon's second transformation brooch.
"Luna, you're a genius!" Moon said excitedly, taking the wristwatch from her. "We all have one. It's a communicator. That way, if you're in trouble, you can call us and we can call you." She offered the item to Sun. "You won't need to tell us your real name."
Sun simply stared at it for a moment. It was hard to imagine that she was standing right here. For years, she'd watched the senshi on her tv, first Sailor V, then Sailor Moon. They were so beautiful and elegant. And here she was, with Sailor Moon wanting to be her ally, her friend. It was almost surreal.
Sun took the watch with a smile. "We'll fight together."
.......
The spring tests had come and gone, as had the rain. Everything had seemed peaceful. No attacks by the mysterious new force, no need for sailor powers. It felt normal and serene, a gap within the chaos almost as if chaos had taken a vacation so that the senshi could take their spring tests.
In the nearby busy ward of Shinjuku stood a large, multi-story department store called Shinjuku MS Department Store. The building was tall, a dusty yellow with blue accents. Atop the building sat a sign with an S surrounded by a heart-shaped M. At night, the building lit up with neon lights tracing the contours of the structure.
The top floor of the department store had been unexpectedly shut down. The escalators up to that floor were blocked off with construction signs and the elevator only went up to the floor below. No employee could particularly say why the top floor had been shut down, only that it had been, perhaps for construction.
The floor itself was dark. Something lurked in the shadows cast by the sole light in the room. At the light sat a woman in a long cabernet red strapless dress. Her blue hair, decorated with two cabernet feathers, reached the floor. Her long pointed ears were filled with hoops and piercings. She wore an excessive amount of beaded jewelry, along with a golden medallion pendant which she took to flipping over in her hand in irritation.
Beside the queen stood a tall woman who wore the same gray tunic Dixite and Doxite wore with gray pants and black knee-high boots. The piping on her jacket was aqua green, matching the aqua highlights streaked in her blue hair. She also had a considerable amount of gems attached to the shoulders of her uniform. Pifite was the queens right hand and chief strategist. She also served as the commander of the generalites, the gray-suited generals of Shadow Galaxy.
"More have awoken?!" the queen hissed.
"Unfortunately, yes," Doxite replied, his voice shaking slightly. He'd taken a knee, bowing politely and respectfully to his rather irate master. "Yet they don't seem to want to team up with the Lunar senshi." After the fall of his poorly dressed summon, Doxite had stayed hidden in the distance, observing the interactions between the two teams. "Only Sailor Sun has."
"Sun," the queen hissed. "SUN?! She must die first!" She'd spent so much time destroying her and her Eclipse guardians after what they did, and now they had the audacity to return. She wanted them all dead, but Sun the most. Anything to do with PlanetSun and its infernal guardianship had to be destroyed.
"Dixite and I have put a plan in motion," Doxite continued. "As Pifite-sama predicted, the senshi seem to be localized in one area in Azabu-Juuban. Dixite has infiltrated one of the schools. I plan to use the data she collects to pin-point the current senshi. If we can locate the senshi in their civilian forms, they'll be helpless against our attacks." It was a brilliant plan. Doxite was far smarter than his sister, being a chemist with some tactical knowledge. Dixite was simply an airhead who hated to get her hands dirty.
"You better be going somewhere with this plan," the queen frowned. there was no way those Eclipse would survive this time.
"Of course," Doxite bowed his head deeper. "I'll stake my life on it."

I always enjoy it when villains stay in the most bizarre locations. I may sketch this out eventually because the images in my head for this are so strange and comical.
Notes
Shinjuku MS from the anime [link]. Nephrite used it when he posed as Tuxedo Mask to lure out Sailor Moon and instead found Naru.
Shinjuku-ku itself is located near Minato-ku, where SM takes place (in the Azabu-Juuban district) [link]. It's a very busy commerce and business city, with tall buildings with neon lights everywhere.
Next time on SMSE...
