Colette: Huh? Why am I here? Oh hi Sam!
Me: … Looks like my muse came on time. Colette, welcome to my new story.
Colette: Oh hi everyone! *smiles happily before tripping*

Colette: Ow…
Me: Let's start the story. Oh right… I will try to upload this and The Spirits of Balance at the same time okay everyone? Colette, disclaimer please.
Colette: Remixofdestiny doesn't own anything but the plot. Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter 1: The Red Crystal
14 year old Sammy Tsukino woke up with a pained look on his face. He's wearing jeans and a white t-shirt. His longer brown hair is messy as his blue [is it blue or green?] eyes are look dull. He holds his head with both hands as he feels a sharp feeling panging in his head.
"Ugh… What happened last night?" Sammy questions himself.
He looks around his room as he puts his hands near on his legs. He sighs as he turns to look at his hands. They were a little itchy…
"What the heck?" Sammy said as he looks at his hand.
On the back his left hand is a red, diamond shaped crystal embedded on a golden crest on it.
"What's this thing?" Sammy asks himself, "Ugh… my head…"
Sammy starts remembering something. He sees a tall blonde man with skintight white clothes in front of him. His green eyes seem to gaze into his soul. The thing is that the man looks astral, like a ghost.
Flashback
'You interest me child…' The man had said with an echoing voice, 'If you want power to save those you love and yourself soon, take the crystal at my feet.'
"What do you mean?" Sammy had asked, not trusting the astral figure.
They are in front of a large tree. They called it a World Tree for it was the biggest tree up to date. It feels like its pulsing with life.
'There will be a battle you will not win. Even with the abundance of mana within your body, you will not win.'
"What battle are you talking about?"
'There are enemies that want your mana, your life force gone. The demons of the Nifelheim.' The man said, 'Demons absolutely hate mana. They will hunt you down and kill you just because of the mana you have.'
"By taking this crystal will help me?" Sammy asks skeptically.
'Yes. It will give you powers along with the crest beside it.'
Sammy saw the golden crest shine near the red crystal. He didn't notice that before. Sammy thinks for a bit and came to a decision.
"I will do it." Sammy said, reaching out to grab both items.
'Put on the Crest and then put the crystal on top of it.' The man said. 'Make sure to not let anyone see it.'
Sammy obeys the man, slipping the crest on first. Surprisingly the crest stuck on his skin and wouldn't move. He then puts the red crystal on the crest. He feels a small tingling in his body before he faints from the feeling. The last thing he heard the man say before he was engulfed by white light and the darkness of his unconsciousness was this.
'We will see each other again soon child, my new vessel.'
End Flashback
Sammy looks at the crystal with remembrance in his eyes.
"This crystal…" Sammy whispers, "What is this thing? I feel so weird."
Sammy stares at it for a bit until he hears his mother call for him.
"Sammy Tsukino, are you awake? It's time to get ready for school!" His mother shouts.
"Uh… Yeah mom! I'm awake now. Thanks!" Sammy shouts back at her.
Sammy jumps out of bed and the weird feeling is gone. He feels more energized now. Sammy stares at the crystal, wondering how to hide it.
"Maybe I can wrap it…" Sammy whispers to himself.
Sammy looks around his room and smirks as he found a roll of bandage. Sammy wraps the bandage tightly around his hand, but not too tight as to impede his progress in school. He then puts black fingerless gloves on. Sammy takes off his shirt and goes into the bathroom. He washes his brown hair in the bathtub and then dries it off. Sammy then picks up a clean shirt from his closet. It's a black t-shirt with designs of white angel wings on the back. He changes into another pair blue jeans and then walks downstairs with a ball of socks in his hands.
"Hey mom, what's for breakfast?" Sammy asks as he sits on the couch, putting on his socks and making sure the crystal is out of sight.
Sammy didn't like hiding things from his parents, but something about that man tells him to keep the crystal hidden.
"We're having bacon, rice, and eggs. Also a new omelette recipe. " She said with a smile.
Sammy's mom has blue hair and green eyes. She is wearing a simple dress and a apron over it. Sammy chuckles with a small sweatdrop behind his head.
"Heheh…" Sammy nervously said, "I'll pass on the omelette. I'll just make a quick bento."
Ikuko Tsukino looks at Sammy with a slight glare. She drops the glare as he takes out a bento box and starts filling it with rice and bacon. He rather stay away anything egg related his mom makes. After Sammy finished his bento, he puts it in his small bag and prepares for his first year of high school.
"Be careful out there Sammy." She said.
"I will mom." Sammy said with a smile.
Sammy puts on his shoes but before he leaves he turns back to his mom.
"By the way, where's Serena?" Sammy asks, "She still has one more year in high school right?"
"Oh her friends picked her up earlier." Ikuko said, "They'll meet you there."
Sammy nods and starts running to the Jubaan High School where his sister should be waiting for him there. As Sammy runs down the street he feels slightly uneasy, like he was being watched. Unknown to Sammy a figure covered in a dark cloak is staring at Sammy at a distance, on top of a large building. Its blood red eyes observe Sammy before it vanishes in a small puff of darkness. Sammy arrives at Juuban high and he stares at the school in awe. This is way bigger than the middle school! Sammy looks around the school courtyard looking for his sister or possibly her friends. Sammy sighs slightly.
"Ugh… Where is she?" Sammy said, groaning. "I thought she would be here by now…"
Sammy walks into the school and pulls out a small piece of paper from his pocket.
"Guess I'll meet her at the roof then… Looks like I'm in class 217-B." Sammy decides as he starts walking down the hallways, looking for his classroom.
On the way Sammy bumps into his sister, Serena Tsukino.
"Serena-baka…" Sammy growls, "You were supposed to meet me in the front of the school!"
Serena sweatdrops as she chuckles nervously.
"Oops. I forgot." Serena said, scratching the back of her head.
Sammy growls a little more, but sighs. He figured this would happen.
"Serena we need to get to class, it starts in about 5 minutes." A female voice says behind Sammy.
"Oh. Thanks Ami-chan, but I have to guide Sammy to his classroom." Serena said, looking around Sammy.
Sammy turns around to see an old friend, and secret crush, Ami Mizuno. Ami has grown a little but Sammy grew faster, he is about 2 inches taller than her and his sister. Sammy blushes lightly at her. The years have done her good as well. Serena looks at Sammy's hands with a confused look on her face.
"What's with the gloves?" She asks.
"Ah, I'm trying out a new style." Sammy said, a little too quickly.
Ami looks at Sammy with narrowed eyes as he turns to Serena. She could feel something off from Sammy. She couldn't decide if it was good or not. She decides to tell Serena about it when they get to the temple today.
"Well… do you know where Class 217-B is?" Sammy asks.
"Oh, it's just down this hallway and to the left." Ami said, "You can't miss it."
Sammy nods and smiles at her with thanks. Ami blushes slightly at his smile.
"Thanks." Sammy said to Ami before turning to sister, "Are you coming home or are you going to 'study' with your friends?"
"There's no need to study on the first day of school baka." Serena teases, "But I need to hang out with them for something though."
"All right, I'll tell mom and dad that then." Sammy said as he walks away.
Sammy walks into his classroom and starts to listen to the teachers drone about the rules and expectations they are supposed to uphold.
[End of the School Day 3:47 PM]
Sammy walks out of the school, into the school courtyard, stretching and yawning. He was bored, but it was to be expected of the first day of school. He sees his sister and Ami walking down a street towards the temple. Since his house was on the way towards the temple he decides to walk with them. He starts jogging towards them.
"Did you feel the strange aura Sammy was emanating when he greeted us?" Ami whispers to Serena.
"I did. It felt like it was originating from his left hand." Serena whispered back to Ami, serious.
"I wonder what-…" Ami started but stops as she heard footsteps behind them.
She turns around to see Sammy.
"Sammy! Are you coming with us?" Ami asks surprised slightly.
"Well, part of the way." Sammy starts, "My house is just past the park the temple is near right? So it's better if I go with you."
Serena sighs but nods. She really didn't want Sammy to annoy her on the trip to the temple. Sammy starts teasing her lightly. He always liked teasing his big sister, it never got old!
As they approached the park, they all felt a dark presence. Sammy's crystal starts burning slightly, making him hiss in slight pain.
The figure that observed Sammy appears in front of them.
"Who the heck are you?" Sammy asks, knowing the answer but not wanting to accept it.
"I am Surt." The figure said, "I am here to kill you. You hold one of the highest mana supplies that the Nifelheim has ever seen. Therefore you are a threat that must be eliminated. The Sailor Senshi are next as well child."
"Stay away from my little brother!" Serena shouts at the cloaked figure.
"Then you can die with him!" The figure shouts as fire appears around them in a large circle.
Sammy gasps as he hears a voice in his head.
'Now there's a Nifelheim demon. Surt, the fire demon.' The mysterious voice said.
"You said this thing would help me, how will it?" Sammy harshly whispers.
[Start Eternal Mind Tales of Eternia Arranged]
Sammy is scared, he didn't want to die. He didn't want Ami and Serena to die as collateral. He feels strength building up within him and feels something on his back. He turns to look at his back and he sees two fragmented wings on his back. They are purple in color and if you move your hands to touch them, it will pass through. He starts shining with mana, disguising him like how the Senshi disguise themselves when they transform.
'Follow my instructions with spell casting and fighting.' The voice said, 'Now fight!'
Sammy shoots a large wave of light from his hands towards the Surt, but it dodged the wave. It dashes towards Sammy at high speeds.
'Punch the ground and yell Death Eater.'
Sammy obeys the voice, deciding it would hold up to his promises.
"Death Eater!" Sammy shouts, punching the ground.
Several beams of light came up from the ground hitting Surt, making it hiss in pain. It hates mana, like his brethren, it will not live if it kept on getting hit by this light mana.
The girls were in shock of what's happening. The feeling they felt from Sammy increased 10 fold and now he's fighting the demon.
"S-Sammy?" Serena said, confused and scared for her brother.
They couldn't transform in front of the two. It was way too risky, but they wanted to help Sammy.
"Outburst!" Sammy shouts as he punches the ground again.
This time a large wave of mana knocks Surt back several feet. Sammy raises his hands as he follows the incantation that the voice is giving him. White feathers appear around Sammy as he starts chanting.
"Sacred powers…" Sammy starts.
"No… Impossible. Angelic Mana?" The fire demon shouts in shock, wounds bleeding black blood.
"Cast thy purifying light on this corrupt soul…" Sammy chants as he applies his mana into the spell, per the voice's orders.
Surt charges at Sammy trying to interrupt the spell, but it was too late.
"It ends here corrupt one! Judgment!"
Beams of light came from the sky and rained down on the unfortunate demon. It roars in pain as it dissipated into darkness, dead for eternity.
Sammy groans as he falls forward, but thanks to quick thinking from Ami, who catches him and lays him down. Sammy's mana field is still up so he was still safe. Serena and Ami nod to each other and they start dragging Sammy to the Temple, out of sight.
