"Giovanni's is the biggest Italian restaurant chain around," Lori explained to Jade. "It's a great place to study for our research project.
"I'll have the spaghetti," Jade told the waiter. To Lori, she said, "If you say so. But do you get the feeling that there's more to Giovanni's than meets the eye?"
"What do you mean?" Lori asked.
"Well, the Giovanni family owns more than restaurants. They have shares in several major companies as well. Some say that they're part of the mafia."
Before Lori could reply, an explosion sent the two girls flying. Jade looked up to find a huge hole in the wall on the other side of the restaurant. Several shadowy forms were lurking about, attacking restaurant patrons.
"Hey! Let go of me!"
Jade turned around and saw one of the shadowy things grab a short, well-dressed girl with black hair. Without thinking, Jade flew at the thing, causing it to lose its grip on the other girl, who fell backwards and hit her head on a barstool. The impact knocked the other out cold.
"You'll pay for that!" the thing hissed.
A small, sun-shaped locket dropped into Jade's lap. A voice yelled, "Shout 'Sun Cosmic Power!'"
"Whatever for?" Jade wondered. But she did as she was told and yelled, "Sun Cosmic Power!"
Seconds later, she found herself transforming into a warrior with a white tiara, white jumpsuit, gold belt, and an orange cloak.
"What the bloody hell?" Jade asked herself. Yet as the shadows came towards her, she felt as if she had defended the lives of others many times before.
"Aurora Borealis!" Jade screamed. Orange flame surrounded her and flew at her enemies. The shadows screamed in pain. One yelled, "We won't forget this!" then disappeared.
"That was weird," Jade said. She walked over to the fallen girl and put a hand to the other's head. "What a bump," she mused.
A white owl flue in, carrying a medallion in its talons. Jade took the medallion and examined it. It had a bear on it.
"What are you doing there?"
Jade turned around to see five men in black suits and ties staring at her, arms folded. "Who are you?" she asked.
"The better question is, who are you and what are you doing with Don Giovanni's daughter?" one of the men asked.
"So you work for Mr. Giovanni?" Jade asked.
"That is correct," another replied.
"I wonder if they're telling the truth," Jade wondered to herself.
In response, a voice in her mind said, "They are, and that girl is also Sailor Demeter of the Universe Senshi."
"She'll be fine," Jade told the men. "As for what happened, there was a huge explosion and these weird things showed up and attacked her. I kicked their butts."
"And we're supposed to believe you?"
"Yes," Jade replied. She gave them the medallion and her phone number, then said, "Give her this medallion when she wakes up, and have her call Jade Bradford."
Interlude
"Are you sure that you're all right?" Don Giovanni asked his daughter.
"Daddy, for the last time, I'm fine," Jennifer protested. Ever since her father's men had brought her home from the ruined restaurant, her dad had been fawning over her like a mother hen.
"When I find out who did this, I'll.." Don Giovanni's voice trailed off in a menacing tone.
Jennifer sighed and shook her head. She knew better than to mess with her father when he was angry.
"What I want to know is the identity of the girl who saved you," the don continued. "The boys said she was dressed in a really weird outfit and had purple hair."
"Well, don't ask me, because I don't know," Jennifer replied. "Who's this Jade girl you're sending for?"
"She's supposed to be an associate of the woman who saved you."
"What's this medallion for?"
"That woman left it for you. I hope Jade can answer our questions."
Interlude
"So let me get this straight," Jade said to the white owl sitting in front of her in the park down the road from Austin College. "I'm this Sailor Schala Sun person, a princess of the sun in a galaxy you can't remember?"
"Right," the owl said. "And I'm Minerva, your guardian. There are four other Universe Senshi, which you are the leader of. The girl you saved was Sailor Demeter. The others are Sailor Ma'at of Andromeda, Sailor Mist of Beta Centauri, and Sailor Rhea of Hercules."
"If I'm from another galaxy," Jade said, "what am I doing here?"
"You were sent to the future to be reborn along with the other senshi."
"Why?"
"I don't know. I'm afraid I don't remember much of anything about your past except that you were raised on the planet Thoth. You were an outcast because of a sun-shaped mark on your forehead."
"I don't have a mark on my forehead!"
"You don't now, but it will probably show up when you transform."
At that moment, a long, black limo pulled up. Three men in black suits and ties got out and began walking across the grass.
"Those Mafia guys want to talk to me," Jade said.
"Don't worry, they just want information. Go with them, and contact Sailor Demeter."
"I know, I know," Jade said as the owl flew off.
"Jade Bradford?" one of the men asked.
"Yes," Jade said.
"We've been sent by Don Giovanni. He wants to ask you some questions."
"All right," Jade said. "Let's go." She followed them to the limo and got inside.
