"The sea is even more restless," said Michiru, frowning.
"At least they're wimps. One quick shot and they're done," said Haruka. "Why is everyone here? I just expected the Inners."
"Oh dear," said Michiru as she got a good look at Setsuna.
The normally tanned Setsuna had just turned chalk-white and was staring at them. "..."
"I've got a bad feeling about this," quoted Minako.
"It was you?! You two?" Setsuna twitched. "Oh hell."
"Uhm, this is bad right?" asked Usagi, beginning to get a little nervous.
"So this is it. We're all going to die," said Setsuna. "Don't mind me. It's just that all of my work and preparation have just gotten flushed down the toilet."
"Did I miss something?" asked Haruka.
"Setsuna-san called the meeting to figure out why the Gates Of Time blew off their hinges and Crystal Tokyo has been replaced with an asteroid field," said Ami. "Apparently she thought there was a chance for negotiation or defense until now."

"Ami what are you writing?" asked Usagi, hoping that the genius girl was coming up with some brilliant strategy.
"I'm making a list of all the things I want to do before I die," said Ami.
"But he was a wimp!" said Haruka.
"We'd just figured out the who," said Setsuna. "A fairly popular bishonen alien prince who was scouting out this world, and who should have been rescued in ten days. They eventually became allies of Crystal Tokyo, helping out when we come out of the Great Freeze by means of food shipments and medical supplies."
"Except now they ain't allies," realized Minako. "Waitaminute? He was CUTE?!"
