Chapter 1: Greg

"Greg help me!" Greg shot up in his bed at the sound of Ami's voice and took in his surroundings. He was in a cave deep underground and he saw the Sailor Scouts chained up against a wall.

"Ami where are you?" he called out as his vision slowly cleared and he struggled to find her. "Are the Scouts all right? Who's responsible for this? What happened to you?"

"We were on a mission when we were ambushed. I'm not sure where we're at or who's responsible for this. You must find Darien and tell him what happened he will know what to do."

"I will tell him," Greg promised as the vision started to fade away into inky blackness. "and I will find a way to save you, I promise."

Greg gasped for air as he shot up in bed clutching his chest, his heart pounding like a drum. His face rested in his hands as he tried to make sense of everything that had just happened. Suddenly everything came rushing back to him as he remembered his instructions from Ami.

"The Scouts are in danger and I have to find Darien, he'll know what to do."


A short time later, Greg found himself standing in front of an apartment door. Nervously he knocked on the door and after a couple of minutes passed Darien opened the door.

"Hello can I help you?" Darien asked as he watched Greg stood in the hallway staring down at the ground for several minutes before he finally looked up.

"I have some bad news, can we please go inside your apartment to discuss things?" Greg asked politely as Darien went back inside his apartment and motioned for Greg to follow him.

"So what did you want to discuss?"

"The Sailor Scouts have been captured and they're being held prisoner…" Greg said quietly as Darien fell silent. "Ami told me to tell you and that you would know what to do."

"Yes I know what to do, but how can I be sure you're telling me the truth?" Darien asked as he stood in front of his apartment window and watched the stars come out. To be honest he believed Greg was telling him the truth but he was also waiting for a sign.

"I can show you what I saw in my vision if you trust me, but be warned once the vision starts playing I cannot stop it. It must play from start to finish uninterrupted." Greg said in a serious tone as he reached forward and touched Darien's forehead with his hand.

Darien watched silently as Greg's vision played out for him and before it ended he heard Ami whisper four names into his ear as a pouch was placed in his hand.

"Please tell me what can I do to save her? She never stopped believing in me, even when I became that horrible monster she told me I was destined to go on and do better things. All I want to do is save her and become the man she deserves." Darien watched Greg the whole time he was speaking and to his surprise the symbol of Mercury appeared on his forehead and glowed a light blue color.

"You're already the man she deserves and you were meant to be her protector." Darien said as he put a reassuring hand on Greg's shoulder and looked into his eyes intently. "Come with me, there is much to be done if we are to save the Scouts in time."
