Soldiers of Love

Soldiers of Love is a Sailor Moon / Sisterhood Of Nine / Iji Crossover Fan Fiction by troper Vilui. The story opens a couple of years after Sailor Moon; the Senshi have gone their separate ways, and Ami is studying medicine in America. An e-mail from her invites the others to join her in New York, where she suspects their powers may be needed. Meanwhile, the Sisterhood are hired to investigate the disappearance of a tennis star. Their paths soon cross, and it gradually becomes clear that the world is in danger from a war-loving race of aliens who've come to Earth armed with all sorts of bizarre weaponry.
