Episode 4 Act 1

Serena, Amy, Lita, Mina and Darien sit at a table in a fancy French pancake restaurant for dinner. Serena looks at Darien in surprise her eyes fill with tears of happiness "Yes I will marry you." She says softly trying not to cry but it isn't going to well.

Darien wipes a tear from your eye "Thank you. Now we can eat, what do you want?"

"Oh my gosh! We're gonna be bride's maids!" Rei dances around in her chair.

Serena tries to dry her eyes. She turns to Darien again "I love you."

"Great Jupiter he said it!" Lita gushes as tears of happiness run down her face for the two lovebirds.

"Can you believe it Lita, he finally asked her." Amy cries tears of joy with her friends.

"Our little Serena is growing up Amy!" Lita smiled and dabbed at her eyes with a tissue.

"Yeah your right" Amy replies.

Mina gets up and puts both hands on Serena's shoulders. "Well you got the cute one!" Mina laughs. She turns to look at Darien.

"What is it Mina?" Darien looks at Mina in wonder.

Lita looked over at Mina when Darien asked if she was alright. What could be wrong with Mina, Lita thought?

"So what looks good to you Lita?" Rei asks since she can't really read the menu.

"I honestly don't know Rei. It all looks good. What would you recommend Darien?" Lita asked as she looked up from her menu.

Darien looked away from Mina "Hmmm, the Crepe Le Mocha Rouge sounds good haven't tried that one yet." He says looking at the menu quickly.

"That sounds interesting." Lita thought about ordering it, but couldn't decide.

"Think I'll have the Crepe Le Peaire Special." Amy says.

Rei looks at her "Yeah I'll have what Amy's having." Rei sticks her tongue out at Amy

"Copy cat" Amy giggles.

"Ya know what? I think I'll try that crepe le mocha rouge." Lita says, folding her menu.

A waiter comes by and takes the orders "So...uh Lita what is it the you ordered anyway?" Rei asks looking at you with a raised eyebrow.

"Pancakes with whipped chocolate syrup." Lita answered.

"Aww...Maybe I should have got that. It sounds so good." Rei says sounding envious.

"Don't worry Rei you can always try it another time." Amy tries to console Rei.

"Yeah Rei, I remind you to get it the next time we come here. Deal?" Lita asked, barely containing a smile.

"If the madam would like, we can bring both plates." The servant replies to Rei having over herd.

"That sounds...Huh? You can?" Rei starts to reply to Lita then notices the waiter, and responds.

"Just get smaller portions Rei its fine." Darien says.

"Of course madam. Whatever you desire." The servant says to Rei, "Your account is taken care of."

"Well now! That's good news and now Rei, you'll be able to try some." Lita smiled, she was glad Rei would be able to try some.

Darien raises and eyebrow "Well what will you get Serena, or shall I decide?" Darien asks. Glasses of water, Milk, Orange juice, and Grape juice are brought to the tables.

Serena looks at the menu "You decide, you know what's good here, and you know what I like." She says as she looks at him.

"Okay." he orders for her and his self "So Serena how's it feel to finally be engaged?" Rei asks looking at the first platter brought out.

"Yes! How does it feel to be a queen and to have Darien as your king?" Lita questions, her excitement getting the best of her.

Mina passes out on the Oriental rug on the restaurant floor. She looks pale.

"It feels wonderful." Serena smiles.

"Oh my God! Mina!" Lita yells as Mina passes out. She rushes to her side and places her head in her lap and tried to wake her up.

Serena goes over to Mina "Mina? Come on wake up Mina." Mina lay motionless in her friend's arms, dreaming.

"Ahhh! Mina...Umm, lets see" Amy goes over to Mina.

"Can some body get a towel?" Rei says looking around feeling scared.

"What happened? Mina can you hear us?" Darien says worried about Mina.

Mina try's to wake her self from the horrid nightmare... "Ngh...She's...She's not human..." She's whispers with her eyes still closed.

Rei receives a towel from a waiter, and pours water from a cup then hands it to Amy, "This should help"

"Thanks Rei" Amy places the towel on Mina's head.

The waiters wait near by not sure what do to or what's wrong. The little girl that was there a moment ago is gone. "Should we call an ambulance?" A servant asks.

"I think so. Unless you can do more for her now Amy." Darien says.

"No I can't. It might be wise to call them" Amy says in response to Darien and the waiter.

The servant nods and sends a waiter to call and ambulance.

"Ok, we need to get things out of the way." Amy says.

"Right" Rei talks to the group while Darien responds and starts moving chairs.

A waiter takes a chair away from Darien. "Allow me sir."

"Uh...Sure" Darien looks a bit confused.

Within moments there is a clear path from Mina to the door as medics come rushing in. Other waiters play crowd control as some people gather to find out what is going on. The medics clear every one back and begin checking Mina as a stretcher is prepped. Serena stands off to the side staying out of the way. She is afraid for her friend.

She watches Krahazik and the human girl (Michelle). The girl wore her target, the Locket of Chaos. Her master had given her strict instructions. Her master had given her a crystal he made himself to disable the Knight so that she could grab the locket. She was to be quick. She could do this, her master would be pleased. She prepared to strike. Karibar paces back and forth within his hideout thinking. He looks back at his map of the city. He sent Aki out to steal the Locket of Chaos from that human girl wearing it. He returns to pacing. He can't fathom why the Knight of Chaos would be interested her, he doesn't really care. Finding the relics of the moon kingdom was turning out to be much more difficult. A visit to the moon turned up nothing but dead rock. Could it be the old guardians had survived and had the artifacts? His thoughts swam with ideas and possibilities. Back to the map. Too many unknowns about what happened to the Moon Kingdom. But this planet had plainly of life energy to work with. The question was how to harness it. He though on this too making plans he resumed his pacing. His other 3 elementals waited near by.

Just as Michelle finished a turn Aki sprang from her hiding place going strait for Michelle. In a flash Krahazik was up and between Aki and Michelle. There was just a brief pause as the Aki stopped. Right in front of Krahazik stood what looked like a young female with demonic wings and tail with blue hair and eyes. She paused but a moment before bringing her hands out to crush a crystal and thrust it at Krahazik. There is a blinding light and Krahazik is sent flying away with a look of pain across his face.
Fast as lightning Aki springs at Michelle, hands going for the locket. As Michelle pulls back instinctively Aki's hands close on the locket and the world lights up in front of Michelle's eyes again. She can clearly Aki's face right in front of her as Aki's eyes go wide and her face contorts in pain as lightning and energy surge threw her Aki. Aki is hurled away from Michelle to land several feet away smoking slightly, stunned she twitches where she lies. The locket sits on its chain around Michelle's neck peacefully. Within a few seconds its all over.
