The brightly lit hall is filled with noise. Voices are echoing off of the sleek marble walls and vibrating through the air in waves. The tiled floor pulsates as nimble feet walk upon it, adorned in high heels and the like. The footsteps fell in sync with the 'swish, swish' of light clothes and long dresses trailing on the ground behind the figures wearing them.
"Where is everyone? The meeting should have started over an hour ago."
"Don't worry Your Highness, they'll be here. Or maybe, you're the one who's late, my queen."
Royal blue eyes roll upwards as their owner gazes to the ceiling. "How could I be late to my own meeting?"
The queen finally reaches the end of her journey. Two large, white marble doors stand in front of them, separating them from the room on the other side. The queen reaches out to the doors but pulls her hands back. Her azure eyes find those of her companion's and she sighs.
"I'm late, aren't I Luna?" The servant smiles and falls into a deep bow, her raven colored tresses tumbling lightly off her shoulders.
"Just enter Neo Queen Serenity. I'm sure the other queens are waiting for you." Serenity nods and once again her hands touch the doors. With a deep breath, she pushes open the doors to her grand meeting room and enters.
Inside the room, the queens of all the other solar system kingdoms are seated at the room's round marble table and talking amongst themselves. Each queen's chair is emblazoned with the symbol of her kingdom and so is the wall behind her chair.
Serenity straightens herself and walks into the room, taking her seat under the moon emblem. All chatter in the room dies down at her presence.
"Thank you ladies for joining me . I'm sure you know why we're here today." The Queen of Venus raises her hand.
"Has the threat been realized?" Mercury's queen answers the question, her own blue eyes meeting Venus' sapphire ones.
"It definitively has. Since the last time we met, the armies of Kinmoku were brutally defeated."
Mars slams her hand down on the table. " We need a solution for this problem. I say we take up arms."
The queens discuss this option with one another, wondering if war was really the answer. They talk for a few minutes before they are interrupted. The queen of Neptune, in her beautiful aquamarine gown, stands up and gathers the attention of her comrades.
"Ladies, I really don't think that we should consider war as an option yet. We don't know the full extent of their power."
"We should at least keep it in mind." Mars grunts, sitting back in her seat. The queen of Uranus huffs and adjusts the strap on her cobalt blue dress.
"It seems we've reached an impasse girls. We've no idea what to do about this threat."
Serenity clears her throat. All the other queens look to her, waiting for her to speak. Serenity's eyes scan her fellow queens, her friends. Somehow, they have to figure out how to defeat this new evil. Finally, she speaks.
"We don't need an all-out war; that will only throw our citizens into a state of panic. What we need is a specialized group of fighters. A diverse group of warriors."
Jupiter leans on the table with one arm, resting her head in her palm. " Like a new team of sailor scouts?"
"If we're considering our own subjects, that would be the perfect solution." Mercury adds.
"But where would we find them? From our own planets?"
"We could look to Earth." All eyes snap to the ruler of Saturn. The raven doesn't meet any of their gazes, she just keeps he eyes on the marble table in front of her.
"Earth? That's a good idea." Mars adds as she watches Pluto's queen rise from her seat.
"It is indeed. If we choose from our own planets, our decisions might be biased. If we look to Earth, we could find this group of fighters Neo Queen Serenity is talking about."
"But how would we do it? Just grab random humans we might like?" Serenity's eyes lit up.
"That's exactly how we'll do it." The looks on her friends' faces beg her to continue. "Each of us will pick one human from Earth who we feel is mostly like ourselves. After we decide, we bring them to the Moon Kingdom and pass our powers to them."
The queens all murmured in agreement and the choice was unanimous. Neo Queen Serenity rises from her chair and looks out to her friends.
"It is decided. The Neo Sailor Scouts shall come from Earth."
