Rinn looks around to see if she can grab one of those sticks for herself.

But not finding one, she ducks out of the way - and then pulls out the concealed blaster Uncle Parrolan had insisted she carry, and shoots a laser beam at the guy who was talking about weaseling out of commitments.

"Oh, it really is just like the tales," Jerach breathes, stepping back to watch the show.

He's quietly wondering if the other tales of Old Earth - the pre-Anthropocene ones about sparkling fairies - true after all?

"-- Careful, Rinn!  We don't know what they've got!"

Eventually the man in the vest will flicker away in a burst of purple flame in what is probably a retreat.

"Hi! Sorry you got caught up in our battle. I'm glad you weren't actually working for the Black Moon. I'm Sailor Moon, and these are Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Luna, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars and Tuxedo Mask. Thank you for not allying with the Black Moon against us, and thanks to the one of you who helped us against them for that, as well. I'm sorry you've been pulled here. If there's anything we can do to help you to get back to your own time, or to help you deal with being stuck here if you can't get back, please let us know."

"Glad to help!  Why're you naming yourselves after moons and such?"

(Explored space is big; even with Earth's fame, she hasn't heard of any of those other planets.)

Well, it looks like Rinn's gamble paid off!  He nods with approval, to her and then to the Sailors.

"Thank you.  We do need to get back at some point, but in the meantime... I don't know how advanced Earth's manufacturing and reverse-engineering capabilities are in this era?"

"The names were given to us along with our powers and duties. I'm don't know why those names in particular. You can call me Moon for short, if you want. What are your names?"

"I think I do have an idea of why we have those names, but we should probably head towards somewhere that isn't a Black Moon hideout before we talk more."

She's actually going to get to see Old Earth!  And talk with new friends!

"Sure!  I'm Rinn Milver; I've got so many questions for you!"

"Sky-Admiral Parrolan Milver of Alorica."  He's not going to mention the "Acting President" he added to Brodrig the day before yesterday.

"Jerach of Lebbagon."

"Pleased to meet you, Rinn, Parrolan and Jerach! Welcome to the 21st century. Could you stand together so we can bring us with you when we teleport out?"

"Teleport!?"

She runs over next to her uncle.

... who steps over between her and Jerach.

"Where to?  And - how!?"

"I think to start with we should head to a public park. Not somewhere the Black Moon are likely to have prepared to attack us, not a secure place we need to worry about bringing you if you're some sort of ploy by them, noone will mind our being there or talking. Ready?"

They're acting like they're in some private conspiracy.  Which doesn't necessarily imply the best about his access to resources, or his staying out of other fights, if he sticks with them in the long run.  But it's far too soon to bring that up.

"All right.  Ready."  

The Sailor Senshi will form a circle around the time-displaced people, link hands, close their eyes, say "sailor teleport" and rise into the air, glowing. Gravity briefly vanishes within the circle, and then they appear in a park in what may be recognisable as a late 20th to early 21st century city.

Not recognizable; it's not like any of them have seen a late-twentieth-century city before.

But the teleport and the antigravity -

Jerach staggers with shock.  "How'd you do that!?"

Rinn is looking around at them wide-eyed.  "Was that hyperspace!?"

"We have magic powers because we're the reincarnated guards of the moon princess."

"Long ago, Earth's moon was ruled by Queen Serenity, using the near-limitless power of the Phantasmal Silver Crystal. The Sailor Guards protected her daughter, Princess Serenity. When the kingdom fell, the queen used the crystal to ensure that her daughter would be reborn in the future, and that her guards would be reborn with her to protect her."

"We unfortunately can't answer your question as well as you're probably hoping for. So far as we're aware, noone alive understands the Silver Crystal. It seems to be one of a kind, acts in a way far outside what is typical of matter, and prior to last year hadn't been seen for millennia. We don't know where it originates from, why it acts the way it does or how to replicate the empowerment of the Sailor Guards."

Rinn's education had more gaps than she'd thought.

Unless this really is something new in the alternate universe.

"Oh wow!  Which of you is the princess?  And do you remember what it was like on the moon?"

Has to be something about the alternate universe.  Unless maybe that moon kingdom was a really long time ago?  He doesn't know ancient Earth history much at all.

"Are you serving this Princess - well, Queen - now?"
