in what seems like the runes of a once beautiful city, a girl runs
towards a tall uniformed figure, beside the figure, there is a huge door.
"please don't leave me…"
"its for ur own good…if u stay here, u'll die. It much too
dangerous. They might return for u. Go through the door, it'll lead u to a new
and peaceful life on Earth. U'll be happy there." despite his intentions,
the figure reaches out to hold the girl within his arms.
"I don't care, I just want to stay here, with u." the girl
began sobbing.
"shh… it gonna-" a sudden explosion interrupted him. A
powerful blast of energy hit the two and broke them apart.
"u thought that u could escape, I think not. U will die, just like
all the others. A cloaked shadow appears. He prepares to blast the girl, but at
the last moment, the figure jumped in front of the girl, excepting her blast.
"NOOO!!!!!!" the girl screamed with anguish. a single beam
brilliant light suddenly shot from a crystal locket around her neck. It pierced
the shadow's heart and turned it to ashes… the girl didn't even notice. She
continued to hold on to the figure. "please don't die, ur all I have left.
They're all dead, everyone I've ever loved, they killed them all. Please don't
u die too."
"I'm sorry Amber. I'll always be there, watching over u…" the
figure slowly faded away.
"NOOOOOO…"
[end of dream]
"Kundo…I need energy…" a hooded figure, answering the call,
separated it self from the rest of the shadow.
"it is done my lord"
"Serena, ur late" Rei screamed at the blonde in utter
frustration. Yup, everything's still the same. "can't u be on time for
once in ur life?"
"hey! Don't yell at me… besides, what so important about this
meeting. It can't be senshi business cause Galaxia is already defeated."
Serena wined with her usually complaints. Ever since they kicked Chaos' butt a
month ago, things have been pretty quiet… which was good, cause that meant no
senshi meeting for her to go to and no Rei to yell at her.
"Well that's what we thought too, but that apparently is not the
case. I've sensed a tremendous amount of negative energy for the past few
days." Haruka sighed thoughtfully. She wasn't surprised. It has been
peaceful for too long. It just seems too strange that it would be so quite,
considering the non stop fighting that the senshis had have gone through for
the last few years. It just seem too perfect.
"haruka's right, the crashing waves of sea tells me that a new
enemy will soon appear. More powerful than any we've ever seen. We should be on
our alert." Michiru added with concern.
"I know what u two mean. I did a fire reading last night, and I got
the same feeling. But something else as well. Kinda like a sense of awakening.
Like a tragic secret, locked away for many years… about to be reveled again. I
wonder what it means…" Rei looked off into the distance. The energy
reading she had received from the fire reading seemed so familiar. Like she had
accoutered it before. If only she could remember where. But there was something
else… something that she had not tell the others. It was a dream she had. In
the dream, a beautiful girl with golden red hair was telling her something
really important… but she could not remember most of it… she could only recall
a few words, something about how help shall appear… in the mist of their most
desperate battle… help from their once greatest enemy, but now their most
needed allies.
"well, nothing has happen so maybe nothings really wrong"
Serena exclaimed optimistically, interrupting Rei's thoughts. The dark tressed
girl opened her mouth, about to criticize Serena's lack of common sense.
Fortunately Amy quickly started talking to prevent another argument from
arising between the two.
"well, actually, I kinda know how Serena is feeling. I sure
wouldn't want another enemy to appear. Lets keep our hopes up and not panic.
But at the same time I do agree with keeping up out alerts. I will also check
this out on my computer to do a matching on that negative energy u've been
feeling."
"good idea Amy, don't know what we would do without u." Leta
patted her on the back with a relieved grin. "well, now that everything's
been sorted out I suggest u guys enjoy the peacefulness, I have a too have the
strangest feeling that it will not last." Luna jumped off Serena's
shoulders and walked off.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!" as luna ran down the steps of Rei's temple, a
girl came running up the steps… needless to say, they collided…
"are u all right??" the 9 girls and Artimes ran towards the
two. The embarrassed girl lifted her head, it was Milie. "umm, I'm fine.
Oh by the way, I'm looking for Serena."
"I'm Serena."
"oh… hi, I'm Milie, ur cousin from America. I got here 2 days ago
but u weren't home. This morning ur mom said that u would be here."
"Serena, u had a cousin and u never told us???" "well
sure I do. Hi Milie, welcome to Japan. These are my friends, Rei, Amy, Leta,
Mina, Haruka, Setsuna, Hotaru and Michiru. Oh, and the white kitty is Artimes
and the black one is Luna." Serena said hastily, trying to change the
subject. She gestured to each one of the girls who each in turn smiled and said
hi.
"hi Milie, welcome to Japan"
"hi"
"hi Milie"
"hey, how ya doing"
"hi Milie, welcome."
"Hi"
"hey"
"hello"
"nice to meet u Milie"
"oh, hi everyone. I can't help but wonder how come a meatball head
like Serena could have such smart looking friends." Milie smiled sweetly
at the group.
"neither can I…" Rei muttered under her breath. Serena, opened
her mouth wide, she drew a breath and was about to complain but Mina quickly
stuffed a cookie in her mouth. Milie giggled at the amusing scene but the
others just rolled their eyes at Serena. "well it was nice meeting u, I'll
be going now. Gotta get my stuff ready for school tomorrow." Milie winked
at Serena and walked off.
"isn't Milie the best. Although I do wonder how she could be so
happy. She used to live with her parents, but they had just died from a car
accident, and she came to live with us. Maybe its cause she's in shock…"
Serena explained to her wide eyed friends.
"that's terrible, maybe-"
"this may just be wrong but could she be more than just ur cousin.
Have u know her before she came to live with u? cause I got the strangest
energy readings from her.
"yeah, like Rini, and chibi-chibi…"
