Introduction: About two years ago after I joined this site, I did a little story called The Black Mew Mew. It was a little Tokyo Mew Mew story inspired by the classic comic book plot used in the movie disaster known as Spider-Man 3. Back then I had planned to do a sequel to that story, along with a related Sailor Moon story. But there were creative issues that came up. I ended up starting my Pokemon AU for one thing. And as time went by, I pretty much abandoned the Sailor Moon story.

But I hadn't forgotten about doing a sequel to The Black Mew Mew, and eventually I came up with another idea based on some old ideas I had come up with even before I got the notion to write fan fiction. That's what this story is. It's taken a long time to get this story off the ground. In the past whenever I tried working on it, I'd either get really blocked or something bad would happen in my personal life. But even though I still have some ongoing projects, I feel the time has finally come to get this series off the ground. So sit back and prepare for a Tokyo Mew Mew story unlike any other.

Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew.

Prologue

The full moon shined brightly in the night sky over the vast Egyptian desert as Kish beamed down. The pointed eared alien took a moment to look at his surroundings. In the distance he could see the Great Pyramids. The moon and the stars seemed to enhance the mystical quality of the old tombs. Kish couldn't help but admire those pyramids. They were after all from a time long before the majority of the human race became ignorant wasteful buffoons that cared nothing for the planet they lived on.

As Kish took in the sights, his two companions beamed down next to him. One was a short alien with red hair named Tart. The other a tall blonde alien named Pie.

"Well Pie? Is this the place?" Kish asked with a serious expression.

Pie looked at the hand held scanning device he was holding. "This is where the signal is strongest. It should be straight ahead."

"This does match up with the place mentioned in my family's old journals." Kish agreed.

"Hey, how come you never mentioned that your ancestors came here thousands of years ago?" Tart asked.

"You never asked." Kish answered. "Now let's go."

The three aliens walked across the desert until they came to the top of a tall hill. What they saw below was a large silver pyramid that seemed to glow in the light of the moon. It looked as though the structure had been recently uncovered.

"This is where the signal is coming from." Pie informed the others as he looked at his scanner. "I believe we've found what we came for."

"Hey! Looks like we're not the only ones to find this place." Tart noticed as he pointed down at the pyramid's base.

Down by the pyramid was a small grouping of black trucks and jeeps. Not far away from them was a cluster of white tents that had been set up by the owners of those vehicles.

"Damn!" Kish cursed. "I was afraid this was what we'd find when we picked up the signal. Come on! We have to get in there before those idiot humans wreck the place!"

No longer bothering to walk, the trio flew down and entered the opening in the side of the silver pyramid. In moments they were walking down a dark narrow corridor. Their eyes could see very little, but their ears could pick up much more. And the three were not more than a few steps away from the entrance before they heard footsteps coming towards them. The three froze, and an instant later a barrage of automatic gunfire came at them from the darkness. Kish and the others easily dodged the hail of bullets.

"Don't move!" commanded a voice from the darkness.

"Someone's standing guard, I see." Kish observed as his mouth formed into a grin. "Why not come out and say hello?"

Walking out of the darkness was a man in his late thirties with blonde hair. He had on tan camouflage gear and black gloves. The rifle in his hands was still trained on Kish and his companions.

"I'm only going to tell you once. Leave now!" the blonde ordered.

"You've got guts to stand up to the likes of us, dude." Tart smugly admitted. "But there's no way you can take us down with that pathetic toy."

Before the man could react, Pie rushed in and knocked the rifle out of his hands. The alien then tried to deliver a punch to the man's gut, but the stranger evaded the attack and pulled out a large knife.

"Gentlemen, please. There's no need for hostility." A young voice interrupted before the fight could get any further.

"Who's there?" Kish demanded to know.

Walking out of the darkness was a young man with short white hair and very dark-blue eyes. He had on a tan short sleeved shirt and matching shorts.

"This is indeed a very unexpected pleasure." The young man remarked. "Am I correct that you three are the band of aliens that attacked Tokyo not long ago in an attempt to exterminate the human race?"

"And just who are you?" Kish asked.

"Forgive my manners. I should introduce myself." The young man replied. "My name is Anton Moreau. The gentleman you've been sparing with is my manservant, Lance Montgomery."

"We don't care who you losers are!" Tart told them. "Now get lost!"

"I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you would show up here." Moreau remarked, completely ignoring Tart's order. "I assume you are here after all because of this pyramid's connection to Ichigo Momomiya."

Kish's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"

"I see. So you aren't aware." Moreau observed. "I'd be happy to explain to you what I found, but first I think it would help a great deal if you'd explain why the three of you came to this place."

"As if we'd tell you!" Tart shot back.

"Shut up, Tart!" Kish ordered.

"But Kish…" Tart began. The dark-haired alien held his hand up to silence him.

"So then, are you going to cooperate?" Moreau asked.

"Thousands of years ago, a group of my ancestors came to this planet to take if back from the humans, just like the three of us did." Kish began. "But they ended up getting involved in a great war against an evil that would've torn this planet apart. A great hero of that war is buried in this place."

"We came here because the tomb was giving off a signal designed to alert our people in case it was violated." Pie added.

"I see." Moreau replied. "Well I assure you that my colleagues and I have not come here to violate sacred ground. In any case, you three have just confirmed my findings."

"What does any of this have to do with Ichigo?" Kish asked. "How the hell do you even know her?"

"That, my alien friend, is a very long story." Moreau answered. "But after my… dealings… with Ichigo and the rest of Tokyo Mew Mew, I devoted myself to an area of research that over time led me to this tomb that was recently uncovered by sandstorms."

"You still haven't said what all this has to do with Ichigo!" Kish impatiently pointed out.

"Yes, well… I think it would be much easier to explain if I showed you what we found inside the tomb." Moreau decided.

With that, Moreau and Montgomery led Kish and the others further into the tomb. In a matter of minutes they had arrived inside a large chamber illuminated with lights set up by Moreau's archeological team. Towering over a sarcophagus in the center of the chamber was a large statue of a girl who looked to be in her mid teens. She had hair cut just above her shoulders and a pair of cat ears atop her head. The statue's face had been carved to make it look like the girl was sleeping, and her arms were crossed over her chest like the arms of a mummy.

Kish's expression changed to one of shock. "That's… Ichigo?"

"I was as surprised as you are now when I first saw it." Moreau admitted. "Had I still been plagued with illness, I probably would've passed out and had to be taken to a hospital. Though I did have to sit down for a few minutes."

"What does this mean?" Pie wondered.

"I've been asking the same question." Moreau replied. "The five of us in this room know the face of this statue as that of Ichigo Momomiya. Yet the one entombed her is someone else entirely. To the three of you, this young lady was a hero from another world that came to slay a great evil. But to the ancient Egyptians she was the sacred goddess of cats, Bastet. Given that all this is far too bizarre to be a coincidence, I can only think of one logical explanation for what we're seeing. Ichigo Momomiya, the leader of Tokyo Mew Mew, is the reincarnation of Bastet."

"Yeah right!" Tart scoffed. "As if that's even possible! This guy is just pulling our leg, Kish."

"I don't think so." Pie told him as he looked again at his scanner. "This statue is as old as this tomb, and there's no sign it's been tampered with in any way."

"As intriguing as this discovery is, it's also quite troubling." Moreau remarked. "Especially considering what sort of being Bastet was fighting when she died, the one known as The Enemy of Ra."

"You're pretty smart, for a human." Kish commented. "But the thing you're talking about isn't a threat anymore."

"Don't be so sure." Moreau told him. "If you know the legend I'm speaking of, then you know as well as I do that the enemy we speak of wasn't killed. It was only sealed. And now my actions, while in some ways beneficial to Ichigo, will very likely cause her to awaken as Bastet very soon. When that happens, that enemy will make a move against her."

"Are you saying you put Ichigo in danger?" Kish asked with an angry glare, causing Montgomery to pull out his knife again.

"Calm yourself, my alien friend." Moreau told him as he raised his hands. "I am currently trying to rectify my mistakes. Fortunately, I have a plan. Though I'm not certain it will work. Of course if we were to join forces, there is a greater chance of success. With my brains and your abilities, we can obtain the power we need to not only save Ichigo and the rest of Tokyo Mew Mew, but the entire planet as well. So what do you say?"

Kish was silent for a moment as he thought over Moreau's proposal. "Okay human. Start talking."

Author's Note: For those who don't know, Moreau and Montgomery are the villains from my previous story, The Black Mew Mew. This is the sequel to this story, after all. Anyway, chapter one is already up. So feel free to proceed.
