~Chapter 1~
Summer:Free Season

X---Lita---X

"I'm sorry,I'm not gentle.I can say if it's in my dreams..." I sang the words to myself as I bustled around in my I stopped after the first line,forgetting the rest of the was early in the morning,about eight.I had just washed up from the bathroom and was making myself time,it was going to be a perfect omelet with all my favorite ,I'd just grab a granola bar from the counter and eat it on my way to maybe I would take one of the muffins I had baked when they were didn't sound like something I would do since I was so proficient in my culinary skills.I'd prefer to make my own breakfast in the mornings,but I just didn't have that kind of time made today so different?Well,it was summer vacation school year ended yesterday at exactly three o' then on to the first day of school again,I had all the free time in the world to do whatever I out the window in front of the sink,I smiled at the clear,blue skies and hoped it would be the same not,at least today would have some natural beauty that everyone would admire.

I washed me hands and then took out all the ingredients for my breakfast -of course,already cubed onions,cheese,bacon bits,and some lettuce I like to throw in to make it a little wasn't going to be a made-for-diner-menus omelet,but it was going to be my breakfast.I would take time on it to make it just 'd be sort of a celebration for the first day of summer break.I went over to the stove and turned it on,throwing the pan on to warm it up.I waited patiently,taking out a plate and setting the table for myself to keep me it was warm enough,I took out the butter and slicked the inside of the pan so that the omelet wouldn't stick when it was that,I cracked two eggs into the pan and waited for the first side of the omelet to turn into a solid the same time,I wondered what I'd do after was great having all the free time and everything,but it was also strange to have it.I was so used to just getting up in the morning and going to only time I'd have free time was after school in the noon ,that was when I hung out with my at night,I studied or did my homework for an hour before calling it a day and getting to could call it a with school and homework being cut out of her little 'schedule',that left her hours to do only problem was:what?What would I do?The smell of eggs coming from the pan suddenly reminded me about what I was doing.

"Crap!" As quickly as I could,I threw in my ingredients and flipped the egg over so it was a I saw the light brown spots on the other side of the egg,I realized I had flipped it over just before it would start this time,I thought.

I sprinkled some salt randomly on the egg as it was finishing up.I could already smell the familiar omelet 'd been a while since I had made my own...I could faintly remember the taste of my own breakfast.I frowned at the thought,feeling there was one thing a future chef should have,it would be a sense of includes an expectant taste,which meant you knew what taste to expect if you've already eaten the food on the other hand,cooking failures also revealed that you could learn from them.I wasn't sure what to learn from not having an expectant taste though.

When the omelet was finally done,I turned off the stove and slid it onto my I put all the dirty dishes in the sink,reminding myself to throw them in the dishwasher later instead of just leaving them ,I grabbed a fork and took my plate into the living room.I planned on eating at the table,but it'd just be too quiet and long silences made her the good ol' TV would keep me company.

I grabbed the remote and clicked it on,watching the screen fill with color as I sat down on my comfy I began on my omelet,savoring the first bite and calling it a successful dish once again.I changed the TV to my favorite channel and soon I was all good.I still had my PJs on and I was glad I didn't change into day clothes yet-it was nice just like this.I could get used to doing this everyday.

"Ami,could you write down 's temperature?" my mom asked me as she worked with the patient next to .I nodded as I slipped on one of her extra,white doctor coats. "Sure."

" health report sheet is on that clipboard over observe and fill out as much as you can." said mom. "Thanks,dear."

I smiled and took the clipboard from the counter behind at ,who was still fast asleep,I gently stuck a thermometer under her arm and watched as the red bulb rose stopped somewhere at the very top and I recorded her high temperature:ninety-nine point ninety away,I jumped to the theory that she was coming up with a fever,but I poked around first to make sure.I studied her position the bed and it looked as if she were curling up due to the cold.I nodded and noticed how pale she was in her I placed my gloved hand on her forehead just to finally make sure. "Okay,it seems she has a fever,mom."

"Well,follow procedures and we'll see how she feels when she wakes up." mom replied. "You know them,right?"

"Memorized." I said,going over to the sink and wetting a small cloth with cold water.

"I'll have to tell the nurses to change her usual breakfast today." mom set down her clipboard on the counter. "I'll be right you keep an eye on Lanna while I'm gone,Ami?It'll just be a few minutes."

I glanced at the other patient and smiled. "I'm not a course I can watch them." She smiled and left the room while I placed the wet cloth on 's completing the rest of the 'fever procdures' on her,I sat down on the doctor's chair and watched the patients as they continued was eight o' clock exactly when I checked the time.I've been here since five in the ,working with my mom in the hospital was rather enjoyable considering my future career as a break was a great time to start doing some very well replaced school for and any day I wanted,I could come with mom to the hospital and work with her ,I'd made friends with the other doctors,some of the nurses,and even the was only the first day of vacation and I was now getting used to could be like a summer job without getting this was better than staying at home and doing nothing.

Five minutes later,mom returned again. "Anything happen with our two patients?"

"'re doing fine,though." I answered,getting up up from my seat. "Do you need anything else done?"

She picked up her clipboard again and pondered over my she shook her head and said, "Why don't you take a break?I don't think Lanna or are going to be waking up anytime soon."

"Are you sure?" I asked,taking my gloves off and laying them down by the nodded and I made my way out,heading to the break room.I met one of my nurse friends when I got there.

"Hey,Ami!Oooh,are you on break?Me too!" Sasha was one of the more adolescent ones,but she was still ,I tend to find her annoying most of the time.

"Uh, are you doing with your training,Sasha?" I asked her,hoping she wouldn't get so 'squeal-y'.

"Oh,I'm glad you asked!I'm doing great!" she girl seemed to be beaming. "Mary said that I'd be a successful nurse as long as I calmed down a bit,though.I didn't know what she meant by you?"

I shrugged,not wanting to hurt her feelings. "No,not I'm doing really good with helping my mom as well."

"Cool!So if we both become really good doctors and nurses,then we could work together here for a loooong time!"
I smiled but inside I disagreed was nice,but I'd like to stay distant friends rather than close friends.I made myself some decafe coffee as she talked to I was barely listening until after I'd made was nothing to do then,but listen.

"So then the guy said,I wanted green jello,not red!" she went on with her story and I was one of the least enjoyable things about working in the hospital-having to socialize with people you'd rather not talk to.

X---Mina---X

"Shopping!" I beamed all around familiar racks of which to display merchandise,the escalators,the crowded hallways,and all of the fellow shoppers.I was finally reunited with my second home. "This is it!Time to buy my summer wardrobe!Glorious outfits and apparel!Now school can't even stop me!" I rushed over to my favorite store,then I planned to work my way down to my least I saw all the clothes on the racks,I was exploding with happiness was as if someone had...well,I couldn't see how I could compare anything with ,I plunged towards them and began searching for my garment had a different feel at my one a different ,silk,cotton,linen,denim...it felt so good to be able to have freedom at my number one favorite place in the world:the I glanced up,there were friendly clerks waiting to assist me or anyone else who needed was like having your own personal maid or servant(servant wasn't a term I liked to use, though).

When I would get home,which most likely-knowing me-wouldn't be until the afternoon,Artemis would try to make me feel sorry and guilty for leaving it was true that I snuck out before he woke I didn't,he'd be so snappy and for a cat he was loaded with complaints if I took him with was like listening to Serena whine when the Raye made her participate in study could one little cat be so irritable?Ha,well,Artemis wasn't just a normal wonder animals weren't made for human him at home wasn't a very great idea either since no one paid attention to fact,my parents weren't even he was all .Double guilt for me.I better get my shopping done hastily then.I I rushed with shopping,I usually end up with a bad was something that couldn't and shouldn't be rushed.

My eyes caught a really cute,yellow tank top and I grabbed it right ,I checked the essentials of buying clothes in my little -Size,view,and price.I smiled in contentment when it would turn out to be my first people would call me crazy to be so serious about shopping,but they( don't understand how it's like a hobby to is like a sport with those jocks-it's one of the main prospects in my me an airhead?Blah.I bet they're called a bunch of names too.I'm who I am.

For the next hour,I didn't allow myself to think about any of this nonsense.I was better than that to let judgement get to me.I didn't even understand how it even got into my ,I was reminded that it was summer vacation and that it was time for me to let loose and be all the stress of school be washed away and let my true self back the time I had finally left that first store,I was only carrying two shopping bags full of my I knew that as the rest of the morning would progress,I'd be struggling and fumbling with all the shopping bags I'd be I'll have enough money left to tip one of the employees here to do it for me.I almost doubted it as I darted to another store with a sale sign just flashing out like a sign in neon to self Mina:Don't go overboard.

"That every heart has a chance..." I sung the words to myself,writing the lyrics down on my wind blew in my face and I was glad that I had decided to tie my hair down to a low ponytail.I'd be frustrated right now if it were in my ,I was calmly enjoying the morning outside,sitting on the steps of the concert hall.

Grandpa was nice enough today to relieve me of said that I should have the first day of summer break all to myself to do whatever I .The school year ended yesterday and ever since I woke up today I've been in a good ?Wouldn't anyone be happy about having more freedom and time to do what you wanted?I certainly now,I was writing a song that I had started last I hadn't been able to get back to it until genre was sort of a slow rhythmic,melodic,love song that I wasn't really basing it on specific was just how I imagined my first real relationship would I meant real relationship,not the ones that are just temporary to make up for your life being such a just a little fling.I really like how I had started it and it was going really great so far.

I know that I'm good at a lot of things so I know that one of my dreams will be my the summer this year,I have lots of time to work on either or possibly all of writing was one,priestress training was my life long one that I planned to keep in my life till...whenever I'm not able to anymore,law school...my mind froze.I guess I had too many to it was my songs I was working on I had gotten my talent?I really don't I was just born with ,I feel like some of my songs are really familiar because of the way I just write a whole song straight through without even thinking about it-which is only once in a while.I feel like I've already written it before or I realize that I haven't even heard it 's really strange because at times,I experience a feeling that's like my song writing talent goes back to some ancient time before.I used to think my ancestors wrote songs,but doubted it because most of them were professions in priesting or martial arts,as I remember grandpa told me.I'm the only one in my family line with more than one 's something I like to be proud of.

Another breeze came by and flipped the pages in my notebook continuously until I stuck my finger in between the sheets.I turned the pages back and read over my was almost finished,but not quite.I just needed one more verse and then the final ,what more inspiration could I get than out here on a perfect day?I spotted a middle aged couple not too far away on the sidewalk and imagined how they were progressing with how they were in contact:held hands with each other's fingers through the other's.I wasn't one to be so judgmental,but I guessed they were at a point of ,I felt a pinch of envy.I couldn't be so jealous because I barely knew I couldn't help but wish that I had someone.

I ,a summer thought was like swallowing a butterfly and having it flutter around inside more I thought about it,the more I hoped I'd be lucky enough to have one this ,there were four days,five weeks,and one month worth of could happen.

A raven flew down and landed at my I looked closer,I recognized it to be one of my friends who visited me at the temple during those spiritual eyes,it stared at me with sort of a bird poker face.I couldn't read its expression,but I knew it was glad to see me.

"I'll bet you've been looking for me all over,haven't you?" I said to a slight drop of its head,I knew it had said a single,calm motion,I outstretched my index finger and let it perch on hesitating,it hopped on and I could've sworn I was able to think better with it on like this were...unexplainable.

X---Serena---X

"Okay,let's check." I said,looking at all the food and snacks laid out on the coffee table. "Donuts,cookies,popcorn,chips,muffins,and my jelly ,all set!" I sighed in satisfaction and clicked on the TV with the remote.I grabbed a muffin a took a big was the first day of summer break and I was going to spend it pigging out in front of the television...all day if it was the bell had rung for dismissal yesterday,I had already forgotten Miss Haruna and all my teachers,homework,and the school way was I going to take classes or do anything so educational-relating to school-because summer was my free period that would last longer than just thirty was one of my favorite times of the whole was easy to say why.

Sammy came into the room and halted at the coffee table,staring at all the snacks and then at a mocking look,he scoffed, "You are the biggest,lazy glutton in the whole world,you know."

I glared at him,wanting to take something and throw it at since I resisted the urge to prevent from being grounded on any accounts this summer,I kept my cool and only let the violence out verbally.I wasn't about to get myself in deep trouble and waste my freedom. "Take something and go." His expression didn't change,but it looked as if he were expecting more from ,in your little dreams,kid.I'm watching my actions this time,I thought.

"I'll take a donut...and this jelly roll." his impish hands reached over and took one of my jelly !The nerve of the little brat.A donut was already torture and the jelly roll was like sticking needles in my two of us showed no mercy towards each ,it would be ,I glowered,not wanting to show the irritation that I knew he was expecting to see.

"I'd say thanks,but I wouldn't want to waste my breath." he took a bite out of the donut and went on his way out of the I could loose it,mom came in the room-dressed to go as she saw the junk food,she shook her head in disapproval.

"Serena,I know it's the first day,but isn't all this just a bit too much?" she said,putting her hands on her hips.

"Where are you dressed out to go to mom?" I asked,hoping to distract her from the question.

"Don't try to change the subject, I'm going to the grocery store." she replied. "Now I don't want you to get cavaties."

I sighed,returning my attention to the TV. "Fine,I'll try not to scarf it all down."

"All right, maybe I shouldn't be so worried on buying too many snacks." she said,her voice getting distant as she turned around and left. "You kids don't need more sugar than vegetables."

I ?You got to be kidding I eat one of those I down at my snacks,I decided that maybe I should cut down on all,I'll be going to the arcade more way there'll be enough goodies here at home for me to enjoy the whole summer.I reached over and took the box of jelly rolls.I took a bite out of one after just finishing my ...big joke.I can get that in other foods.I mean,fruit salads are okay...sprinkle some sugar on top that is.I thought about it for a moment and then kicked back,pushing all my worries and problems away-as if I had any right this point,I'm going to relax as if I were some place better-as if where I was wasn't home sweet home.

Bzzzzz...bzzzzz...The sound of my cellphone vibrating woke me and before I could realize I had fallen asleep,I grabbed my phone and answered voice sounded lethargic. "Hello?"

"I knew it!You were napping,weren't you?" Mina's voice came through in her strong woke me up a little.

"I wasn't napping.I fell asleep when I was...watching TV." I looked up to see the television was still on.I yawned and stretched.

"Uh-huh,'s typical you,Serena." she said.

I frowned at the way she said it. "What time is it?"

"Let's see..um...oh,wow.I lost track of time 's one o' clock on the dot." she answered,sounding once,I sat up from the couch on which I was curled up had been that long?I had spent too much time in more I thought about it,my summer really wasn't thought through yet.

"I need to do something other than lie around the house." I said,bringing myself to stand up. "I feel bored all of a sudden."

"Well put your shoes on!This is the exact reason I called!" she said in a brighter tone. "Lita meet her at the fountain square."

I clicked the TV off and started cleaning the coffee table of the snacks. "Just what I need,something to actually are you at?"

"I'm coming down your street.I just dropped my bags off at my house." she replied.I glanced at the window and hurried.I still had to change, considering that I was still in my sleepwear.

Soon enough,I hung up the phone and put all the junk food I quickly made my way upstairs to change clothes.I ended up in a plain,pink tube top,a grey,pleated miniskirt,and matching grey was pretty cute outfit for some clothes I just grabbed in my closet.

Outside,I met Mina at the end of my driveway.

"Serena!All set?" she asked when I had caught up with her. "Wow,I'm liking the outfit!It's almost as good as mine."

I rolled my and her fashion comments. "Come on,let's Ami and Raye,they're already 're probably the last ones."

"They need to realize that we can't be as on time as they are." she said as we began to walk. "Jeez,what do you do for patience in this town?"

I laughed in were the slow ones of the 's just our gets so ,it was something we needed to work usually got us in trouble. "Can't get any faster."

"Nope." she glanced at the time on her cellphone and then looked up in a sudden,brisk motion.A cross expression between nervousness and sarcastic amusement was set on her face.I looked at her questioningly. "What's wrong all of a sudden?"

"Hey,Serena,maybe..." Mina grabbed my wrist,walking a little faster. "You know,it's okay to be late at times,but when you're late like say,fifteen minutes?You might want to-"

"We're getting an earful!" I pulled her with me as I took off as fast as a fired missile or bullet. "If we're that late,we might as well be-"

"Keep talking and we won't be able to pay attention where we're going!" she advised.I didn't reply back-and I was smart not to almost hit a lampost.

"We're here!" I tapped my foot impatiently,half aggravated over the two airheads being late once was so...normal of them after being friends with them for so just steams me sometimes how they're never on time,let alone early for the meatball ,it's like they're human turtles or something.I sent them both a peevish look. "It was about twenty minutes ago sound familiar to you?"

"Hey...I was told..." Serena breathed between small sentence fragments. "by Mina and...she's the late one!"

Mina glared at her,her breathing uneven as must've made a run for it,realizing how late they were. "Oh,now you're pinning it down on me?!"

"It's true!" meatball brain argued,her hands balling into fists and arms tight at her sides.

I interrupted before I got even more time I decided to let them off,cut them some slack with my chewing out.I didn't want to be the one wasting more time with my protests. "Drop 's predictable that you two would be arriving with sweat rolling down your necks and jagged breaths." Glancing over at Ami and Lita's expressions,I wondered how they kept it in all this time,they've tolerated the tardiness while I always complain.I never understood why or I was born with the essence of fire in me and that's how I got my attitude?Fire was my element,after all.I hadn't a clue though.

"Stop with the criticizing,'s the first day of freedom season." Lita smiled. "Any one of us could be lazy pigs today."

"I probably would've been the latest if my mom hadn't insisted to let me go." said Ami,agreeing without a thought.

I almost wanted to snap at them for their easy going you always let them off like that,they'll never of course it was okay for me because I always scold were right was just the beginning of summer.I had plenty of other days to lecture was already wasted having to wait for them.I quickly reminded myself to cut them some slack so I wouldn't forget. I also reminded myself that I needed to chew them out for it one day-as if they'd learn was hard to believe that they could learn anything,but with observation,they actually had a was pea-sized,to be theoretical. "As long as they're here now." I finally said,pulling myself out of my thoughts.

Serena looked at me instantly,both eyebrows raised. "Are you serious,Raye?You're not going to screech?"

"Fortunately for you." I nodded.I folded my arms. "But don't be expectant of the same action every only reason I'm letting loose this time is because it's summer,like Lita said."

Mina and her looked at each other with relieved they were fearing me and my telling off?About time.I can control their habits soon enough-not trying to be dominant or anything.

"Let's get going then.I promised Sasha that I'd walk her home later." said Ami,glancing at the time on her phone.

"Actually,I was hoping we'd just hang out here." said Lita,motioning around them. "It's a great scenery and there's not much people around."

We all looked around us,noticing the beauty of the fountain was beautifully sculptured stone with crystal blue water flowing steadily out towards the decorative figure in which the water flowed out of was of a pretty maiden with her hand held out as if observing an insect on ,water was spurting out of a little nozzle type thing for the the bottom of the fountain,there were several coins glistening in the sun,however,beneath the water.I watched for a brief moment a lady tossing a quarter in and taking a few seconds of fountain was like a wishing fountains were.

Surrounding the fountain were four,red,wooden could be connected in some sort of a square,like its ground was made of matching red bricks,but a shade the benches were green-trees,bushes,recreational flowers a community volunteer had there were the hedges fencing the place off,most likely to be secluded so as to bring serenity to the people here. It really did make the scene rather peaceful with the few number of people around of a perfect landscape just for this day.

"Well,I is rather an ideal place to hangout on a day like this." Ami said,approving the space.

"'s either we stay where we are or someone carries me." Serena dropped down on one of the benches. "My feet are killing me!Flats were not made to run in!"

I almost smiled. "Your fault." As expected,she glared at me.

"It's settled then." Lita opened the tote bag purse thing she was wearing. "I bought slushies before I wants one?"

"I do." a husky sounding voice answered.

X---Serena---X

I looked up from the ground and saw Nephrite,tall and mannish,but long,brown hair was tied back in a wore a plain,green shirt and black jeans-casual eyes were on Lita when he said, "I'll have red."

Lita narrowed her eyes but stretched out a smile. " only." At that moment,Jadeite ran in on the scene,followed by Kunzite.

"Neph,you left me with Jadeite!" Kunzite said,oblivious to us girls. "Why the hell did you take off?"

"Kunz was so boring Neph!You should've taken me with you!" Jadeite whined.

Nephrite sighed and shielded his eyes from them. "Why can't I have one moment without you two complaining about each other?That's why I'm not the head of the apartment,Darien is!I shouldn't have to deal with you!"

"What?Trying to get rid of us all?" said Kunzite. "I thought you promised to babysit Jed with me?"
" I need a few minutes by myself!" Nephrite replied. "It's bad enough with Jadeite being so juvenile!"

Mina cleared her throat then,interrupting. "Hey when'd you two get married?I didn't get an invitation."

The three looked and realized their us than the public,I thought.

"What do you mean?" Kunzite asked,looking bemused.

Raye rolled her eyes. "You're bickering like a married couple with marital Jadeite's the son whose between it all." The guys looked pretty embarrassed until one of them decided to change the subject.

"What are you girls doing here anyway?" Kunzite observed the area. "The fountain square?"

"What does it look like?" Mina asked rhetorically,putting her hands on her hips.

"Don't know,but can I stay and watch?" Jadeite went around Nephrite and sat back on one of the benches.

Raye glared. "If this were a guy-girl meet up thing,I wouldn't have if you were invited."

"Feisty,aren't we now Raye?" he grinned,watching her eyes light up in raven-headed girl took a step forward in warning as Nephrite dragged him off the bench again.

"Jeez,you never let me have any fun." complained Jadeite,rubbing the place on his forearm where he'd grabbed him.

"If you must know,it's a girl gathering so we can spend the first day of summer together." said Ami. "Well,atleast part of it."

Nephrite smiled in a way that was rather friendly. "We shouldn't be bothering you, I just stopped by for a hi." He turned to Kunzite,who was already a sigh,he took hold of Jadeite's forearm again,leading him away from the blond winked at Raye before he was gone around the her,she took it as if it were an insult.

"Well,that was interesting." Mina stated.

I couldn't help but smile tauntingly when I looked towards Raye. "Got yourself an adolescent admirer,huh Raye?"

She rolled her eyes and sat back on the nearest bench. "More like stalker.I heard from Chad that he's been spotting some idiots hiding in bushes outside the temple.I'm afraid that I'll find him hiding actually in the temple next time."

"You know,he might not seem the perfect personality match for you-" Lita started,taking out slushies now.

"Of course he's not a personaliy match!" Raye repeated the words. "I'm hard-working,he's lazy.I have dreams,he makes his life up as he goes.I'm sane,he's retarded!Not to mention a happy-go-lucky takes everything that comes at him and most of the time he takes it while he's laidback!"

Lita nodded calmly,as if everything she just said didn't matter. " then again,you make a great visual looks good with you and vice versa."

I nearly fell from my standing place after seeing that 'are you crazy?' expression appear on Raye's 's like one of the most funniest moments in I caught my breath again,I said, "Nice one,Lita."

"No,I'm looks are date material,but just not my type or anything." Lita told her. "Somehow,he locks down with just you Raye."
Raye tried to keep her cool,considering that she was actually being serious about clenched teeth,she said, "That obnoxious jackass doesn't stand a single chance with dismissed."

Everyone but Raye was in her nature to be no one wanted to get on Raye's bad side,not even the subject was dropped as if it had never come up.

"So anyways,how was everyone's morning?" Ami asked,taking the styrofoam cup Lita handed her.

Mina spoke up before anyone one else could. "Fabulous!You'll never guess where I've b-"

"The mall." everyone were of course it was so ordinary Mina would spend free time at the mall,doing nothing else but-

"Yes!Shopping!" Mina's voice cut across my danced around us all in a gleeful manner. "I reunited with all my favorite shops!I was able to buy things and-"

"Well I had the morning to myself and thought I'd clean out the rooms in my apartment.I didn't realize how much junk I had." Lita interrupted one really cared for what Mina had done because we already knew it she'd done it was easily predicted with some relation to shopping or the mall.I wasn't one to judge on Mina though because I liked to go shopping too-just not so obsessive over it as she I looked back at the other blond again,she was pouting-one who didn't take interruption very well.

"Gramps gave me the day off and instead of doing chores in the morning for once,I was at the concert hall working on my songs." said passed her another styrofoam cup,and finally me and ,I stabbed my straw through and started on my slushie.

"What about you Ami?" asked Lita.

Ami smiled. "I went with my mom to the 's letting me come along with her to do some observing and even training."

"Really?That's you wear the white coat and have a hands-on experience?" Raye responded.

" was really interesting.I got to meet other doctors and work with patients." she nodded. "It was 'd you do,Serena?"

Before I could answer,I felt a ice-cold pain in my head and shut my eyes tight. "Brain freeze!"

X---NegaVerse---X

"Hahahaha!" Queen Beryl laughed in that wicked,cold laugh of made even the toughest of the surrounding monsters and yomens ,neither of the two generals moved as they bowed in her prescence,one knee on the filthy floor and the other behind them.

"It is finally done,Kunzite,Zoisite!" she announced,focusing on the vast amount of energy floating in the middle of the room. "The energy needed is collected!"

"My queen,we have been loyal all this time to not question your orders of collecting all this energy." Kunzite started.

"If not disrespectful,may we ask why?" said Zoisite,barely looking up.

Again,that dreadful cackle rang through their ears. "My dear generals,do not fear,for I will not punish you of your questioning!At this moment,a new mission begins!One that is a far step into our ruling of the universe!"

The generals looked up then as the enormous ball of energy glowed brightly.

"Just a touch of my power and we will have it." said her hands over it,they hovered over the long,her dark power was overtaking the she let her hands fall,the energy-now black-began to shift in shape,transforming into something time,it shrunk and the glowing dimmed as a small,dark crystal floated to in an evil way,she cackled louder than whole throne room shook at her voice.

"Beautiful!The most that I've created in years!" she looking at the generals,she explained. "This dark crystal contains all the energy you've that energy and this crystal here,you'll be able to search for the Rainbow Crystals!"

"Rainbow Crystals?" Zoisite asked,sounding confused. "What are such crystals?"

"They are the one thing that will return my crystals and return my strongest warriors." she answered.

Kunzite widened his eyes,a flashback running through his head at that second. "The warriors...that helped destory the Moon Kingdom?"

"I'm glad you remember saves my breath." she said. "Now,you may remember them,but the Rainbow Crystals you do listen closely." She looked about as if someone other than the Negaverse would hear before she continued. "A millenium ago,we destroyed the Moon Kingdom.I was able to kill every living person in sight of their kind until only Queen Serenity,the arrogant ruler of the moon," she sneered,loathing the memory of the good generals seemed to know who she was talking about though. "was left.I was even able to annihilate her dear daughter and her worthless lover,Prince Endymion."

At that name,Kunzite suddenly tensed for some it was nothing,he shook it off.

"I was all ready to finally put an end to Queen Serenity,until she chose her own fate and used the last of her energy to seal everyone inside the Imperium Silver very crystal was so great,as Serenity always had it under protection.I've always tried to reason with her,to let me share the power within it,but she saw through me and denied my request every time." she glared at the floor for a moment,then resumed her story. "My warriors were taken away and they were the last in the crystal,it shattered and my warriors were separated into seven rainbow were reincarnated as everyone I destroyed on the Moon Kingdom had they were reincarnated as those warriors roam somewhere within the depths of modern Japan."

"So when do we come in?" Kunzite asked,brushing back his platinum hair.

Beryl smiled again. "Your newest mission is to find each of my reincarnated warriors with this dark you will use its power to take the crystal within need the crystals,more importantly." She answered before Zoisite could ask again. "If you aren't smart enough to put the answer together already,each crystal,when reunited,will create the Imperium Silver holds an awesome power that will definitely allow me to rule the universe forever!" she laughed and then stopped abruptly,sneering. "The Princess of the Moon will also be I will need nothing from she is found,if you find her,bring her to me.I want to vent revenge of me from her mother to her."

The generals nodded. "Yes,Queen will not fail you."

She replied, "Of course you won' don't believe I don't have generals have failed me more than once.I'm entrusting you with this is the only thing that will aid you in your search for the crystals and their my power will weaken me and still nothing will be revealed to be ." the crystal floated down to them and Zoisite took it in her hands. "Now let me point out one final thing." she said. "Your objective is to gather all the 't let anything be an time,the Sailor Scouts must lose the them and the Earth Defenders."

Kunzite and Zoisite clenched theirs fists and made a vow. "We won't."
