"You guys the Phage might be back."
"What?" Rei snapped.
"How?" Amni asked.
April grinned.
"Well in some cases they get drawn in by having
their desire granted. A false promise."
"And when the wish isn't granted it breaks their heart in the
end. No way." Usagi snapped.
"How low." Mars said.
"Of all the low down dirty cheap tricks." Pluto said.
"Not cool." Venus told them.
"Chill girls we can still beat this thing." April said. "We have an
advantage. We're best friends."
"I say we go with it . Fight with the power of friendship." Venus said.
April nodded.
"Well the Phage only appear if they don't have a Star Seed." Rei told them.
"But what about the desires problem?" Neptune asked.
April smiled.
"Well sometimes all we can do is give them something that isn't false
hope. We just have to stay alert. Watch from the shadows to see who
else might be behind the Phage."
"How?" Venus asked.
"We have the Star Lights for that. I'll see if they can help shut the Phage
down. In the meantime girls we have to focus on the Master. We're busy
enough as it is. The 4 of us will deal with the Phage. I want to keep an
eye on the Sailor Star Lights."

Moon met her new team an hour later.
The 4 of them went to work to figure out who was behind
the Phage.
"Galaxia was behind it last year but this is new." Fighter said.
Moon nodded.
"Well maybe whoever is behind this is using emotions for an
energy source and feeding off it."
Healer grinned.
"It makes perfect sense to me. Negative emotions could also
be a form of dark energy."
"Right Healer. If that's the case maybe we can counter that with
light energy emotions." Fighter said.
Suddenly Moon got it.
"Giving me perfect idea number two and that's where you three come
in."
"I like where this is going." Maker said.
Moon looked at the equipment.
"And there blew idea three." Moon told them. "You guys use music to
help people have fun right?"
Fighter smiled.
"Put the concert aside and play for the heck of it. If people have fun
we can stir up positive energy." Moon said.
"This is the best idea yet Star Moon." Fighter told Moon. "Girls the
Three Lights are back under new management."
Moon saw that the Hex Girls were in town.
"Idea number four. We hook up with the Hex Girls to fight dark emotions.
This party is going to rock."
Moon found the number.
"Thorn here."
"We need some back up to build up positive energy."
"A battle of dark magic? Count us in."
Moon hung up.
"The Hex Girls are in. Let's make 7 an unlucky number
for whoever is behind the Phage."

After Moon got off the phone she went to where the Hex Girls were staying.
Dusk let her in.
"I'm Sailor Star Moon. We need to create positive energy. And a lot of it."
Luna smiled.
"Nice to meet you Star Moon. And we do have an ace up our skirts. Check
this out."
Thorn pushed play.
Moon listened and nodded.
"Idea number five. Girls can you come with me a sec?"
The Hex Girls nodded.
They got in Moon's car and drove over to where the Star Lights were working.

Moon let them in.
"Hey guys say hello to the 3 Lights."
"We've heard of you." Dusk said. "Who's your manager?"
"Moon is." Healer said.
Moon nodded.
"Moon told us about trying to create positive energy on
the way over. We have the perfect thing for that." Dusk told them.
"Then let's see what kind of sound seven of us can make." Luna
said.
Moon had a good feeling about this.

The Hex Girls and 3 Lights worked for over an hour on the tune that would
bring good energy.
Then Moon got another idea.
*Brilliant idea six. Bright colors. They lighten the mood."
Fighter smiled.
"I say we try it."
Moon and the girls worked on bright wardrobe next and
before long Moon smiled and the 7 of them took a group photo.
Next Moon had copies made for the Sailor Guardians.

After she brought the photos in Moon filled the Guardians in.
"We want a bright look with the right kind of mood for poaative
energy to counter the dark energy. The next step is down to us.
Music and an outfit won't be enough for this fight. That's where
our team comes in."
Usagi nodded.
"And I have a plan for that. We cheer people up with our
friendship."
"And we have another plan in mind just in case." Venus
told them. "Usagi is partly right "
Moon looked at Venus.
"Go on."
"Well our friendship is a way we grow as a team." Venus said.
"Once a Sailor Guardian , always a Sailor Guardian. I'm the
leader and will always be part of the team. I made 10
best friends who I wouldn't trade for the world. You'll
always be my Guardians and we're a team to the end
no matter what. Nothing's going to split us up. I won't
let that happen."
Usagi smiled.
"That's our secret weapon Sailor Moon. You are. You
don't give up on us. It sounds like you know what you want."
"I chose you guys." Moon said. "I'm Sailor Moon and your
leader to the end no matter what. From here on out we
face the Master and the Phage as one no matter what
it takes."
And she ment it.
