Chapter 1: Welcome to Nerves Concord
After the battle with Galaxia, Sailor Cosmos landed in the courtyard of the Shinto temple and wished for her friends to return. The eight Star Seeds left her broach, reverting her to her Eternal form, seven of them landed gently on the stone walkway while the eight simply vanished in a strong energy reaction, sending it not known to anyone, Usagi wondered where it went. The Remaining seeds glowed brightly and slowly took the shape of the bodies belonging to their hosts. Usagi dehenshined and slowly went to Rei's body and hugged her tightly fearing that she would vanish again. 'To hell with destiny, I love Rei and nothing in this universe will take her away from me. Mamoru can just take a long walk off a short pier for all I care.' She though as she felt tears beginning to leak out. She looked around to find only one of her protectors was missing and it wasn't Setsuna. She then felt Rei groaning painfully, realizing that she loosen her grip. "Hey." She calmly said as she saw her true soul mate's eyes slowly opened.
"Hey yourself, Odango." Rei weakly replied. "Are you crying?" With that said Usagi simply dove in pressing her lips against the fire miko's, surprising her but not unwelcome as she returned it. The others slowly got up to the sight of their princess kissing Rei passionately.
"Hey, get a room you two." Said Haruka with her usual playful smirk, only to be beaned behind the head by her girlfriend.
"Don't mind if we do then." Shot back Rei, sparking a small laughing moment at Haruka's expense.
"Say where's Ami? She isn't here with us here with us." Asked Makoto as she around for their blue haired comrade.
"When I wished you guys back, her Star Seed simply vanished without a trace." Explained Usagi as she and Rei stood up still holding each other.
"What do you mean vanished!?" Yelled Makoto.
"As in 'poof' gone. There one minute, gone the next." Replied Usagi. "I trust you'll be able to find her, right Sets?" She added while turning to the Time Guardian.
"Yes, hime. I'll get on it right away." Replied Setsuna as she summoned a doorway to the gates.
"Come back quickly." Whispered Monaco to her lover.
"I will." Replied Sets as she kissed her forehead.
Inside an ancient Martian ruin below the surface, a red on black AC was searching for a research team while destroying hostile Disorder Units. "Damn, where the hell are they!?" The pilot asked himself. His AC ran along a hallway leading from the entrance chamber to deeper in the ruins. One of the floor panels was greatly weakened when the AC stepped on it, should it be stepped on again it would collapse.
'Raven, you're close! Can you see us? ' Asked a Zio Matrix researcher on the comm.
"Not yet, I'm entering another chamber now." Replied the Raven as his mecha entered said room, which was crawling with Disorders Units. "Dammit, there's so many of these assholes!" He added while opened fire with his Karasawa. The Raven managed to secure the chamber very quickly as he located the pod. "Area secured, you're cleared to leave." He said.
"Thanks, Raven!" Replied a Researcher.
"Hmph, you're skills are still left to be desired of." Added another researcher.
"What was that?" Asked the Raven while narrowing his eyes. "Do you want to know personally, why I'm called the Enforcer?"
'Control yourself, Frostmorn! We don't want another incident like what happened against Emeraud.' Ordered the Operator.
"Sorry, Nell. But that guy's REALLY pushing it." Replied Frostmorn as the pod was heading to the exit. "Got anything else for me?"
'Nothing at the moment. Return to base.' Ordered Nell.
"Copy that." Replied Frostmorn. The black AC began its trek through the same hallway.
The second it stepped on the weakened panel, it severed into many pieces sending the AC plummeting through the floor. "SHIT!" He yelled as he engaged his Drake class Boosters to slow his decent. When he touched down, he looked around seeing that this chamber was completely untouched. "Nell, are you seeing this?" He asked in awe.
'Yes, I am. This room is full of ancient artifacts. I'd say that this is quite an archeological find and…IS THAT A PERSON!?' She yelled.
"I think so." He said as he stared at a large Stalagmite. "Orders?"
'DO YOU EVEN HAVE TO ASK? GET THAT PERSON OUT OF THERE AND BACK TO BASE!' Ordered Nell.
"Ten-four." He replied as he engaged his Moonlight beam saber and drove it into the stalagmite about four feet from the body. The AC made a perfect cylinder around the body and extracted the shard. "Got it, withdrawing from the area of operations." He said as he disengaged his AC's limiter for sixty seconds of unlimited power and boosted out of the chamber with the crystal shard.
'Copy that, medical crews have been alerted.' Replied Nell. The AC hurried to leave the ruins to his awaiting transport before the timer reached zero.
Just as it finished counting down the last seconds, the AC's feet slammed on to the ground of the surface. Once the countdown finished, all of the AC's energy based weapons and boosters went temporarily offline. "Made it." He said with relief. "I was afraid of running out of power and falling back into the pit."
'Good, your transport is waiting. Also your credits have been transferred to your account, minus the repair fees.' Replied Nell.
The AC boarded the land-based transport and left the area. While on route to Nerves Concord, the pilot deactivated and exited his AC to stretch his legs. He was of medium built, slightly muscular; he measured just over six feet at the age of 21. His black flight suit showed off most of his body which was a plus for the most eligible bachelor among the Raven forces and being number one in the Arena really helped in his social standings. He removed his helmet to reveal his short silvery-blond hair, that nobody can ever hope to tame, and his piercing grayish-blue eye. He walked closer to the shard, where the body was located. Frostmorn was astonished to see that the crystal was unblemished even when carved by a Creation Energy blade. If anything, it made the object clearer. He could see that the person was definitely a woman with very short blue hair and wearing a weird outfit that seemed to be from late twentieth century Japan. 'If she's that time and place, I better hope that the universal translator works or else things will go nowhere fast.' He thought.
'Sir, we'll be arriving at headquarters soon. ETA: 15mins.' Said the Driver.
"Thanks." Replied Frostmorn as his gaze never left the girl in the crystal. 'Man, she's beautiful. I wonder how she is personality wise.' He thought as he placed his hand on the crystalline substance and gently glided it over the girl. Suddenly, the crystal began to crack around the girl. Large faults began to appear all over the shard, like it was hit by a sonic demo-charge. Soon piece of it started to fall off, freeing the girl from it's prison. Once freed from the crystalline prison, the Raven quickly grabbed hold of her and checked if she was alive. "Shit! She isn't breathing! DRIVER, GET THIS CIGAR BOX ON TREADS BACK TO BASE ASADFP!" Ordered Frostmorn.
'Roger that.' Replied the driver as he increased the speed to it's maximum limit. Frostmorn placed her on her back, and began giving mouth to mouth. After forcing air into her lungs, he did an external heart massage.
"Come on, breath! DAMMIT BREATH!" He told her, after which he forced more air into her only to have it coughed back into him. "Don't worry, you're safe now. Just breath slowly." He said soothingly while placing her against him in a hug while massaging her back during her coughing fit. "You'll be given medical attention when we reach HQ." He added calmly.
"You're speaking Japanese?" She weakly asked.
"No, I'm not. It's thanks to the universal translator in my communicator that we can understand one another. For you know, I could be speaking in Greek." He explained. "What's your name anyway?"
"It's…Ami…Mi…zu…no…" She weakly said as she fell asleep.
"Pleasure to meet you, Ami. I'm Tyree Frostmorn." He replied just as the transport stopped and opened it's rear hatch. Seeing that they were at Nerves Concord, Tyree picked Ami up bridal style and carried her to the awaiting med team, who in turn rushed her to the ER.
"That's some mess in there." Said Nell, who arrived on the spot along with the medical team. "What happen?"
"Dunno, I simply glided my hand on it and it started to crack." Replied Tyree as he stared off in the direction the med team went.
"I see." She said while noticing where he was staring. "Did this person strike your fancy?" She added teasingly with catshire cat smile.
"W-what? NO! If I did the other girls would make her disappear!" He retorted. But like a cheetah charging it's prey, she went for the kill.
"Oh, you're afraid of not seeing her again. So you do like her, huh?" She teased while walking to the apartment she shared with the pilot, laughing like a hyena.
"NELL! YOU KNOW I HATE IT, WHEN YOU TEASE ME LIKE THAT!" He yelled while running after his flat mate.
The med team gave Ami a full and complete physical and injected nano-machines into her bloodstream to eliminate any diseases or fix any damages they may have missed. So far, they only found that her muscle tissue needed strengthening, possibly from being inside the crystal, which the nano-machines will fix and transferred her to a recovery room. While she was asleep. Tyree has a thorough background check done on her, only to find out that there was nothing to find. No Social Security Number no bank account, no ID, heck not even a email address. It was like Ami Mizuno never even existed, the query was made though out every corporations and even the Sol Star System government, and nothing came back. 'There's nothing on her? This is very suspicious.' He thought while looking at the information as he changed from his flight suit to his street clothes, which consisted of dark gray jeans, a black muscle shirt, a pair of white socks and a dark gray jean jacket. 'Hell, even her DNA didn't bring up anything.' He mentally added while leaving his room in Nell's 5 1/2 apartment. He still remembered the first time he stepped though the front door, he was 16 at the time and the place made a city dump look clean. There were trash bags in a corner, around fifty bottle of hard liquor on the table, dirty dishes about a meter high, empty take-out boxes just about everywhere, and dirty laundry anywhere the take-out wasn't present. When he looked back at that time, he simply chuckled at how fast most of the things changed. Nell would still tease him once in a while, she still dressed revealingly at home and chugs a beer or three in the morning, and at least now the apartment was clean. "Hey Nell." She said walking into the dining room with the information on Ami in hand.
"Hey, what do you got there?" She asked while nursing her first drink.
"The background check I requested on Mizuno." He replied while handing her the file. Nell took a long drink with her eyes closed as she took the file. She simply glanced at it very lazily with one eye, then quickly double taked with both eyes wide opened while spaying her beer.
"THERE'S NOTHING ON HER?! ARE THOSE MORONS IN INTELLIGENCE SLACKING OFF AGAIN!?" She yelled.
"I don't think so. I even asked them to check everywhere. Looks like we got ourselves a Jane Doe." He replied while grabbing his motorcycle helmet and keys and headed to the door.
"And where are you going?" She asked suspiciously.
"To get some answers. I'll be back soon." He replied while putting on his combat boots.
"And possibly a girlfriend as well?" She teased, but the pilot didn't bite and left the apartment.
"Damn it, she doesn't know when to quit!" He told himself as he went down the elevator to the garage. He quickly fastened his helmet, hopped on his custom motorcycle and rode it to the hospital.
Meanwhile at said hospital, a pair of enchanted blue eyes slowly opened to an unfamiliar ceiling and glanced around. To the right, their was a vase with flowers in it beyond that their was an opened door. To the left, their was a window with closed blinds and to the upper left corner was a Holo-imager that was turned off with a clock next to it. The walls were painted sterile white and she was wearing a light blue hospital gown. She also noticed that she was in a very comfortable bed and their was an IV in her left arm. She glanced at the clock to see that it was around 17:45. 'Where am I?' She thought.
"Sir, you can't go in there!" Said a nurse, obviously female.
"Listen, I just want some answers here. One of your patients has no ID and no files through out the star system." Replied a male voice.
'That voice…it's the same from before.' Thought Ami as Tyree entered the room with the nurse trying to persuade him to leave, trying being the operative word.
"I told you, I just want some answers. Intel didn't find anything on her." Tyree told the nurse while pointing to the blue-haired patient.
"It's okay, I could use someone to talk to." Ami weakly said.
"The patient has spoken." Added Tyree while smirking. Knowing that she lost the battle, the nurse left and Tyree turned towards Ami with a look that meant business as he grabbed a chair. "Okay, let's get this over with. First off, I would like to welcome you to Nerves Concord." He added as he sat next to the bed.
"Thank you." She replied while being slightly worried at the look he was giving her.
"Second, who the hell are you? Intel didn't find anything when I asked them to do a background check." He asked quite seriously.
'Nothing? How is that possible? Unless…' She thought. "Did you check on earth?" She asked.
"Earth is gone." He replied bluntly. Ami's eyes widened in surprise at the news. "It vanished a hundred and fifty-six years ago in the year 2045."
"How?" She asked in complete shock.
"Researchers uncovered an ancient artifact called the Zohar in Africa in 2035 and it went berserk ten years later. I thought everyone knew that, unless…you're before that." He replied.
"And that's would explain why you didn't find anything on me. You see I was born in the 1980s in Tokyo, Japan, and I'm currently eighteen years old." She said fighting logic with logic.
"So you didn't lie." He replied as his softened.
"No, I didn't and as I said before, before passing out, my name is Ami Mizuno." She said.
"And I'm Tyree Frostmorn." He replied.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." They both said in near perfect synch, causing both of them to laugh a bit. For about thirty minutes, both young adults were talking, like they've been best friends for ages, about anything that came to mind: from friends to school, and from family and hometown.
"Excuse me." Said the same nurse from before. "But visiting hours are over."
"Well see you tomorrow, Ami." Said Tyree.
"Farewell, Tyree." She replied with a small smile as he left. 'I think I'll like being around him.' She thought while Tyree was having the same though about Ami.
