"Redemption"


Chapter 1

An insanely bored Serena trudged to study buddies that afternoon after school at Raye's Temple. "Why…does school…have to be so boring?" she asked herself out loud. Serena passed by several shops and her gaze fell on the arcade across the way.

'Maybe just a minute or two…it wouldn't hurt,' she thought carelessly as she bounded across the street to find a perplexed, but work-ridden Andrew.

"Hey Serena…" he waved at her with broom in hand as he swept. "Shouldn't you be at study buddies?" Serena paused for a moment.

'Obligations, obligations,' she thought ruefully. Andrew quickly noticed her shift in approach and continued with a smile.

"Mina's over there stalling too. So why don't you go and see her." The odangoed young woman smiled happily and plopped down next to her arcade compodre inside. In the mean time, the others were waiting somewhat impatiently for their friends, until Mina and Serena were already 30 minutes late.

"You know, Mina can get sidetracked like Serena…but for her to be this bad is just depressing," Lita commented, resting her elbows on the table. Raye jumped up and was about ready to punch someone judging by the aggravated expression that graced her pretty features.

"If Serena has the nerve to even show up at all today, she won't be coming tomorrow!" Raye exclaimed nearly pulling her hair out.

"Raye, why is that?" Lita replied.

"Because she'll have two broken legs," she spat half-sarcastically, and half-deviously. "I hope she fails everything including that major exam next week."

"Raye!" Amy cried shocked. "You know Sere has been working quite hard this time to achieve her goals! How could you say that?"

"Easily." Amy just crinkled her nose and went back to her Advanced Trigonometry work, balancing a thin pencil against the table. Lita sighed and closed her eyes.

'Isn't it ironic…that a blonde haired rabbit like Serena is Moon Princess…well at least she works hard in the end. It turns out right because she has courage. That's what Raye is overlooking,' the brunette concluded in her reverie. The raven-haired priestess suddenly shot her a look, as if she knew what Lita was thinking. Lita stood up and folded her arms.

"I'm just telling the truth," she spoke simply and went outside for some air.

The sound of clicking heels could be heard echoing down the sheer black hallway of the starship. A shadowed form walked down the black marble corridor silently; long white-blonde hair draped down her back like a cape and her sparkling lapis lazuli eyes fell on a door to her right. It was a sleek black just as the rest of the hallways within the ship, which seemed to mirror itself like a house of horrors. Only this woman, by the name of Glacier, and her three sisters were capable of navigating through successfully.

Beyond the door she now stood before were the aforementioned sisters, all apart of the undefeatable team of the Infinite Storm Sisters. A distinct family trait each sister shared, was their milky skin and small five-point black star on their foreheads. It was the symbol of their incredible power, their heritage, and their purpose. Glacier, the eldest sister and coordinator of their journey, took and deep breath and opened the door with the quick press of a button on the outside panel. It slid open quickly, revealing a large circular room, complete with an immense, magnificent window that looked out into space.

"Sisters." At the sound of her commanding, icy voice, they turned to her, giving their undivided attention.

"Glacier," the youngest spoke as she stood up from her seat. "Do you have news for us?" This was Glimmer, a beautiful girl with medium length, sky blue hair the settled gracefully at her shoulders. A simple blank gown that outlined her toned body perfectly, swished lightly at her ankles as she stood. Blinking her deep blue-gray eyes lightly, she waited for her eldest sister's response.

"In fact, I do," Glacier answered a moment later, running a delicate hand through her near-platinum hair.

Aurora, the next sister, stood up beside Glimmer with a hopeful gleam in her eyes, "Glacier, have we found the right planet? The one where the birth of our universe will reign?" Her lovely features sported short lavender hair and large expressive silver eyes. They were eyes that reflected the desires and ambitions of a satanic queen but also that of a manipulative, yet skilled worker. And finally beside her was Borealis; long, almost silvery sugar-pink hair and deep green eyes complemented her perfectly.

Glacier nodded and pointed out the window behind them, "That is planet Earth." A huge mass hovered before them, a great ball of blue, and earthy colors like deep browns and greens and huge gatherings of white fluff piled everywhere.

Running her hand through her pink mane, "So, this is where the Four Sisters are now. I can't believe they fell weak to those Senshi. Where the sisters failed we will succeed," Borealis remarked smirking.

"It's funny to think that the little golden haired rabbit defeated the Doom Phantom don't you think?" Glimmer laughed and an evil grin crossed her face.

"Yes and don't forget that little punk, her daughter," Aurora murmured with a twisted smile on her face.

"At least the Doom Phantom had some success in changing her from goody-two-shoes to pure evil. I tell ya, that Wicked Lady could have been very valuable to us had the Wise Man not screwed up!" Borealis added thoughtfully.

"Yes, but we're unstoppable and this time the rabbits won't get away. The Four Sisters were weak…so sad how we were trapped in time folds for so long. We could have saved them from the Senshi," the platinum-haired war-queen said curtly. Aurora nodded at Glacier's wise comment. "But now the real test comes."

"Right," Glimmer said with a smile, flipping her sky-hued hair gently. A sadistic smile curled her light pink lips with delight.

"First, we must decide upon the location of our descent," Aurora continued. Borealis tossed her sisters a smile as she finished.

"And then we will plant our seeds of destruction."

Glacier smiled, "Precisely."

Bright rays of sunlight streamed into the room, coming to rest on the closed lids of a groggy young blonde. Serena woke up quite late; she thankful it was Saturday…that much was apparent from her content sigh. 'No study buddies today! Thank you weekend!'

"Doesn't mean you can slack off," Luna said reading her mind. Luna jumped up gracefully onto the bed and sat beside the young princess. "We have issues at hand that need to be dealt with!"

"Yeah, yeah in about an hour! Or maybe when I wake up again," she answered rolling back onto her side, pulling her moon-printed bed sheets over her head.

"SERENA!" Luna shouted. The lazy Senshi shot up into sitting position.

"Yes Luna?" she said trying to maintain her half-awake patience.

"How did study buddies go yesterday." She stopped short for a moment as the detached and completely oblivious look on Serena's face said it all. "Oh tell me you didn't-tell me you went for at least five minutes-didn't you Serena? Did you even go to study buddies?"

Serena cringed and a pleading look covered her face and a disgustingly absent-minded twinkle filled her eyes. "Sorry Luna?" she responded in more of a question than an excuse.

"Serena…how many times do I have to say this: STOP FOOLING AROUND! You have responsibilities and lately I don't think you have enough sense to manage holding a pencil…" The cat dropped her head for a second and mumbled under her breath.

"I was pre-occupied okay? Mina didn't go either and-

"She what? Oh Artemis is going to be thrilled about this." Within seconds, an uneasy silence fell over the room, and even the cheerful sunlight couldn't defeat it.

"Are you…angry Luna?" Serena asked cautiously.

"NO, I am so happy you have decided to fail every exam you'll ever take. I mean education doesn't matter as long you have a pocket full of quarters and a game machine in front of you right?" she spat sarcastically.

The blonde thought a moment and began to answer while tapping her chin, "Did you mean that literally? Luna, listen. I'm sorry, and I promise next time I won't miss the meeting. Maybe I'll even be early!" Luna sighed heavily and headed for the door at hearing her declaration.

"Serena, we're having a meeting at Raye's temple today at noon. Be there on time for once like you said, or else I don't know what will happen to you…" Luna said leaving the room her heart sinking in disappointment. Serena paused for a few minutes, thought it over and shrugged.
