Description:
Half a decade into the future, the scouts have created new lives for themselves and have established a (more or less) peaceful atmosphere. But amidst the happiness of the lives they've created, a new darkness is closing in. Old secrets and new surprises are in store for our heroes as old mysteries and true feelings and emotions are unleashed.
*Looking Back*
Author's Notes:
This whole fic serves as a prologue for another fic that's the main focus of my energy as of now. Also, I have to say that this fic and the one I'm putting in right after it has Michiru and Haruka paired up with GUYS and not each other. I'm just putting this in because if you are a fan of these two being a couple or if you prefer that pairing, then I suggest you do not read this. I'd rather have my fic read by people who are not offended by my pairings.
Also, these chapters serve as updates to all the scout's lives as of now and the last chapter will immediately tie in with the first chapter of my next fic. Constructive criticisms are accepted and encouraged.
Note: this is also my second time uploading this story. Last time, I ran into some major computer troubles so I had to try to re-do some of the chapters. Not much has changed in the basic story plot, just a couple of tidbits here and there that will serve a much greater purpose in the future.

Looking back
Prolouge
Location: Unknown
A huge explosion erupted, soon followed by a shriek of protest. A door slid open from behind one of the walls. Five people stormed into the room , panting and sweating as one of them slammed their hand against a panel and the door closed immediately just in time before something on the other side fired a laser at their direction. Their faces were shielded by the darkness of the room and the only thing that could be sensed was the blood on their clothes and the sweat on their bodies. The five people in the room stayed where they were for a while, panting and trying to catch their breaths.
"Jesus!" One of them, a male exclaimed, panting. "Just how fucking many of them are there?"
"Our radars showed over two hundred troops on land." Another one, this one a female, replied just as breathlessly. "And even more in the air."
"Shit!" More panting then another female spoke up.
"What about her highness? Is she safe?"
"Which highness are you talking about?" A masculine voice asked mockingly. On a more serious note he said, "All of them are fine. The priest said that he will provide as much protection for as long as he can for them. But his part will only come in if the others…If they…"
At this, all five quieted down until the first female that had spoken choked up.
"I saw her!" The other female present walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder while the other continued to sob. "I saw her! S-She screamed at me t-to run. Why'd I run? I should've stayed! I should've stayed with her!!"
The other female clenched her fist and muttered, "Forgive me, my friend." With that, she flicked her palm across the girl's cheek…hard. The other started, surprised. Rubbing her cheek softly, she said, "Thanks. I needed that."
The one male that had not spoken walked over to the control panels of what looked like a huge ring, looking like an entrance of some portal.
The young man, more than likely the leader of the group, pressed numerous buttons on the panel and the gate began to emit a bright light on one side. He turned to the others who had watched him.
"Come on!" He commanded, "We don't have much time."
"Dude! What the fuck are you doing?" One of the males demanded.
The one at the controls spun around. "We don't have a choice. We have to do this!" Turning back to the controls, he continued talking to them. "We have to go retrieve some help."
"Who the fuck could possibly help us now?" The female who wasn't crying demanded.
"Yeah." Spoke up one of the males. "No one can help us. And even if they were willing to, like they would know the first things for us to do. We're stuck between a rock and hard place, dude."
"Yes," Was their leader's simple reply, "There are people that can help us. Chances are, they won't want to but like we're going to give them much of a choice." AT his last few words, he motioned to the weapon at his side.
"Are you suggesting that we use physical force to bribe these people to help us?" One male demanded.
"Are you suggesting that we sit around and wait for those bastards to come in and slaughter us all?" He retorted. To all of them, he said. "All of those that we have just left still have a chance at life. But only if we are willing to take the risk of doing it. This will be very risky. But I know that it will prove highly fruitful if we can accomplish it."
After a moment of silence, one of them spoke up. "Who exactly did you have in mind to help us out?"
His comrades' face gazed at him with shock when he told them.
"Wow…" One of them breathed. "They are going to slaughter us after we save them."
"Who gives a rat's ass?" Another retorted. "We could stand a chance now!"
"You mean…"
A smile broke out on the crying girl's face. "We can stop this! We can save them!"
"Yes. But we don't have much time. Those things are coming in and fast!" Light from the portal gate illuminated the room, causing the girls to shield their eyes. He turned to the girl who had cried first.
"Go! It's set for the first carrier's location in their beginning century." The girl turned to the other and the two embraced.
"Be careful." The other muttered.
The girl smirked. "When am I not?"
With that, she spun around and ran straight to the gate. Before she stepped through, she turned to their leader and the two stared at each other for a while. Abruptly, both reached for each other into a kiss before reluctantly pulling away. He grazed his hand on her face softly and she gripped that hand. Wordlessly, she squeezed his hand before stepping into the gate. He stood there and watched as her petite figure stepped through the gate. As soon as she disappeared, he turned and punched in another set of codes.
"Hey!" He called to the girl and one of the males who stood by her. "It's your target."
Just as the words escaped his lips, the room fell subject to an enormous shaking. Gathering herself, the girl walked right in front of the gate while her companion stayed where he was. When he didn't turn to face her or make a move towards the gate, she frowned.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" She demanded, more concern than anger in her voice. Her companion pulled out a weapon, a gleaming blade and turned around, facing the entrance of the room where something was being rammed against the door.
"Go without me!" He shouted.
"What? No!" The female sounded horrified at the thought. "I'm not leaving without you!"
"Then you're an idiot!" He shouted back. "I'm going to stay in case those bastards come through. I'm not gonna have them follow you guys. You hear me?!"
The other male who wasn't at the controls closed his eyes. "We hear you."
Before the other could comprehend what was happening, his friend had brought his clenched fist into his face. The girl at the gate suppressed a shriek as the male picked up her companion and brought him in front of her and handed him into her arms.
"Go." He commanded. "When he wakes up, tell him I'm sorry." He smirked. "And if it's any consolation, I think his head just broke my fist."
The female stared at him for a second, looking as if she had just discovered something incredible. Then she smiled softly before planting a soft and quick kiss on his lips. Taking her companion, she turned around and entered the gate. As she left, he could've sworn that she breathed a "Thank you" to him.
The male at the controls smirked at his friend. "Nice touch man. But you do know that he's gonna knock you out cold the next time he sees you."
"As long as they're both good and alive when that happens," The other said quietly. "I don't give three flying fucks."
The ramming and noises behind them became louder as the male punched in more coordinates. "Done! Go!"
His friend extended a hand to him. "I'm gonna kill you if you don't live through this."
His friend nodded and the two embraced briefly before the other ran into the gate. Alone, the man looked at his surroundings and gave out an ironic chuckle.
"And this was supposed to be a time of peace." He looked up, determined, and punched in a last set of coordinates. He heard the last wall of the door give way. He took out his own sword and struck it down into the control panels. Not one of them would be able to use this transport to come after them. He then proceeded towards the gate where crackles of electricity were erupting as a result of his damage to the machine. He turned around just in time to see a horde of the monsters storming into the room. Swiftly, he struck the gate's supports and entered the portal, destroying the gate just in the nick of time and making his way to the other side…
Prsent-day Japan:
In a darkened room, a slim figure jolted out up from her bed, her mysterious violet eyes widened in fear. Sweat glittered over her face and her soft panting could be heard in the dead silence of night.
"No…" She whispered inaudibly. "No." Shaking her head sadly in resignation. Such a dream, yet it was so vivid…so real. She understood what it meant yet wished it wasn't true. Something was coming. And she had no idea what of and why. That scared her even further. Well, maybe not scared her. More like irritated her beyond belief. This particular vision had always appeared to her so vaguely in her dreams, despite her growing psychic powers. She looked down at herself and shook her head again. She had slept in her work clothes once more. She really ought to learn how to organize herself better. Sighing tiredly, she fell back to the pillows once more, praying to the heavens that the disturbing dream never bother her again.
Yeah, right. She though sadistically as she began to drift off. Like the heavens ever listen to a damn thing we say.
