Note to Any and All Readers:
The beginning of this story might annoy you. Especially if you, like me, are avid lovers of Sailor Moon. You may wonder how brilliant Ami is kept in the dark about such important things.
Well to tell the truth I hate explaining this to you. Because it does spoil some of the story, so if you like, read on without reading this. I will most definitely forgive you if you skip over this page entirely.
You see, in the first page of two I mention a strange throbbing, like being too close to a speaker, which is turned up much too loud, but without sound. This is the sense of an ancient evil, much older than Mettalia, and Beryl and them. Even older than the Sailor Wars (which were talked about only in the manga version of Sailor Moon Stars as far as I know). This evil creates a kind of time-space distortion. It is not normally very strong. In fact it's very easy to breach. The thing is the only people it affects are those capable of sensing it. That does not mean they do sense it, only that they can. This evil has only a small area in which it can function this shield, which is why it never before noticed my poor magical girl junkie, as she watched episode after episode of the wonderful Sailor Moon anime (but who can blame her, it was pretty damn good).
The Original Sailors had been exposed to this their entire lives, they never noticed it. But when Mami arrives it's the first strange thing she notices about Tokyo, Japan. But she ignores it and gets used to it. Well until it senses her growing powers, and retaliates. Then all the scouts, and all three cats, not to mention the crows, notice the throbbing for the first time. But they can't find it again, because it ceases its attack quickly. It hadn't affected this new power.
Please enjoy,
