Prologue

The air itself seemed to be crying despite the fact that there had not been an attack in days but everyone had felt it. Michiru had felt the waves crashing aggressively and even Mamoru had claimed that Gaia was calling out and so they had gathered here, in the ruins concealed in the deepest part of the Aokigahara Forest as an storm seemed to loom above them.

"This place is so creepy." Usagi muttered as she glanced over at the older senshi, taking notice that Haruka kept staring up at the sky with a furrowing brow, teal eyes reflecting the storm above them.

"The prince better know what he is talking about and they better hurry up because I am not getting stuck out here in the middle of nowhere in this weather." Haruka commented.

Meanwhile inside the ruins Kunzite and Mamoru stood before what they could only describe as a glowing mass that floated above the ground, it's aura radiating a wonderful heat in the cramped space.

"So the past must repeat and a darkness rises once more. Can't you five nor the nine youths outside handle it yourselves and what of the five other beings with souls as old as time?" A thunderous voice questioned, earning a sigh from Mamoru.

"The other five you sense are mere children and the fourteen of us that are strong enough are a bit short handed if there were to be a full blown war. Which is why we came here...To ask the four heavenly guardians to bestow power upon at least four more terrains." The prince of earth said—trying to keep the slight shaking out of his voice from the cold.

"Very well but the four generals must discover these champions. Take these rings and travel the world...You will know who are worthy when you see them.

As the voice spoke four smaller, glowing orbs shot from the mass of light and hovered in front of each of the four generals.

"I'll search Tokyo...you three go searching for the others. " Kunzite said then as if as an after thought he added "Try to find someone who has nothing to lose. Some of us were driven from our families and I don't want to be the cause of that chaos."
