All Jade heard was the surprised shout of her two new friends, then something that sounded like evil laughter. A crackling sound followed.
"Oh no, what happened now?" Jade mumbled and turned around, running back to where she met the two. "Can't I for once travel somewhere without getting thrown into some dangerous adventure..." Then she grinned. "On the other hand, it's better than this boring camp."
When she reached the place, Chibiusa was sitting on the ground and cried. Hotaru was crouching next to her, consoling her friend.
"There, there..." she murmured. "Everything's going to be fine."
Chibiusa sniffled. "B-b-but that meanie took my Luna-P! Why? I d-d-didn't do anything... Whaaaah!"
Jade sweat-dropped. "Is she always that emotional?"
Hotaru stood up and smiled. "Oh no, but she just had a hard day, that's all..."
"Okaaayyyy... what just happened here?"
Hotaru smiled again and showed Jade one half of the broken talisman. "We found this and broke it by accident, and then those two evil ladies appeared and took the other half with them... as well as her Luna-P."
Jade stared at the piece of stone in Hotaru's hand. "The Tiger Talisman..." she groaned. "Greeeaaaat... Just WHY did I bring that thing with me? It always causes trouble..."
She took a deep breath. "Okay, to make it short: The Tiger Talisman separated your evil side from your good side... Got it? Yin-Yang! And to become one with your other half, you and your evil halves have to put the Talisman back together again... while both of you are touching it..."
She scratched her head. "Well, I guess in this case it's more like 'the FOUR of you'. Dang, this is going to be hard..."
"I don't think I wanna go near those scary ladies..." Chibiusa whined. "They're mean... and dangerous."
Jade sighed. "Hey, they're just two girls like us, right? I mean, it's not like we have to find the evil half of some kick-ass martial artist like my uncle..."
"Well, they're no martial artists..." Hotaru carefully said.
"Good!" Jade smiled.
Hotaru sighed. "But they, like us, have the special powers of the..."
Chibiusa put her hand on her friend's mouth. "Hotaru," she said in a shocked voice. "We can't tell anyone about our powers. My mom told me so."
"Since when do you listen to your mom?" Hotaru frowned.
"Well... rarely in the past... and I'm horribly ashamed for that." Chibiusa cowered down. "But, there is always a time to change your ways, right?"
"I think you should tell her," Diana suddenly exclaimed. "If she has more of those Talismans Makoto told us about, she could help us."
Jade stared down at the grey kitten.
"Diana, you shouldn't talk in front of anyone that doesn't know our secret," Chibiusa scolded her. Diana smiled. "Sorry?"
"A talking cat... special powers... Wait a minute... Did you just say 'Makoto'? Don't tell me... You're Senshi as well?"
Hotaru smiled. "Well done, Jade! You're a clever girl, you know that?"
Jade groaned. "Oooooh no... instead of an evil badass like Uncle Jackie's evil side, I have two evil girls with Senshi powers... Bad day, if I may say so..."
"Actually, they're adults," Hotaru explained. "Black Lady and Mistress 9... you see, both of us turned evil once in our lives..."
"Don't remind me of that time," Chibiusa sniffled. "It was scary..."
"Whatever," Jade impatiently said. "But... you still have half of your power, right? You should be able to fight them."
Hotaru looked shocked while Chibiusa looked scared. "Fighting?" Hotaru gasped. "Oh no, that's not a good idea... We have to find a way to solve this without resorting to any senseless violence..."
"F-f-fight them?" Chibiusa squeaked. "Are you c-c-crazy? They'll kick our butts!"
Jade sighed. "Not this again..."

Mistress 9 and Black Lady peered around several trees. Before them, a small group of girls was playing. The two women smirked at each other.
"Showtime..." Mistress 9 murmured. "Oh, this will be fun..."
"After you, Missy," Black Lady grinned.
Mistress 9 scowled. "Don't call me that!" she snapped.
"Whatever you say, Missy," Chibiusa's evil counterpart snickered.
Mistress 9 growled. Then she smirked. "Okay then... let's do it... Blacky!"
Black Lady grimaced. "Point for you..." she mumbled.
