Author's Notes(6-25-03): Bleh. Nothing really to add in this one either.. Seems I was mistaken with how much could be revised by me. O.o
As with anyone else, I do not own Sailor Moon or any of its characters. All belong to Takeuchi-sama.
Sailor Moon SolarS - Book One: Awakenings
Chapter 2: The Daimon's Power
Little did Rei know that the same day that she had the vision, the daimon seed which Miru Kusanaga had just fully matured and hatched, releasing a dark wave of energy throughout the planet. Although it only felt like a small tremor to most people, to those sensitive to the dark power, like Rei, it felt like much more.
For the next four months, Miru began to train the daimon, and unknown to her at the time, she would discover new abilities and traits on a constant basis.
The first trait she discovered was in less than a month, the ability to regenerate. She discovered it when a shelf full of various acid compounds collapsed and splashed over its arm, burning the daimon's hand completely off. Its hand grew back within an hour or two to her surprise. When Miru saw this, she knew this would be an invaluable ability, and she couldn't be more right.
Within another month and a half, three new abilities were uncovered, the ability to fly, to bend light around itself to the point of becoming nearly invisible, and the ability to drain a living thing's life from small growths which it can shoot from its arms. However, its abilities could not be used at the same time, so it was impossible to remain invisible while it extended its life-draining growths.
Some of the last abilities it discovered were the ability to absorb energy which was directed at it. It discovered this when a beam of its own energy, which it lost control of, came back at it when it also discovered it could focus it into a beam.
The last abilities it learned were to be able to assume the form of any living thing it could take a physical sample of, and to be able to create duplicates of itself, but only of a lesser strength which it could reintegrate into itself. Miru took note of all of these abilities, and began to wonder about its power.
"If we uncovered this many abilities within only 4 months, then how many more does it possess, or is there any limit to its power?" Miru whispered to herself with a smile.
The daimon's growing strength did not go unnoticed, however. For two months, Rei has had the same dream every night, but over time, the dreams became much more graphic and disturbing. After a month, the darkness which surrounded the city even prevented the golden crystal from appearing. Soon, to her horror, the once lifeless stone figures of the senshi were replaced by the living senshi themselves, and Rei had to watch her friends brutally killed night after night.
"I can't take this anymore. I have to tell the others," she said with tears running down her face from her last dream. Two and a half months after the visions and nightmares began, Rei told the others. Her descriptions of the dreams put a fear into the girls which they haven't felt in years.
"How long have you had these dreams?" Minako asked.
"About two and a half months now," Rei replied with a deep sigh. "I haven't had a single night where I haven't had that dream.."
"And the other three Sailor Soldiers were there too?" Usagi added.
"Yes, and Chibi Usa was there also," Rei said in a low voice.
"So why haven't we seen Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna around at all?" Makoto asked. "If these visions are true, then they should be here and searching already."
"Maybe they are, but they're keeping a low profile," Ami suggested, "If we knew they're here searching, then surely our enemy would know they're looking for them also."
"That's not important now," Usagi exclaimed, "What we really need to focus on are who and where this new evil is and who this woman with the golden crystal is." Everybody looked at Usagi in amazement at her moment of seriousness. A loud growl came from her stomach. "But first, can we go get something to eat?" They all hung their heads.
"Usagi, you'll never change..." sighed all 5 of the girls.
