Sen was practically bouncing up and down in her seat with anticipation and excitement. "Ooh, oo, oo! Hit 'er, Tayna, hit 'er!" Tayna slipped, sending her body crashing down to the ground. She grimaced, but stood back up and dusted herself off. "Okay. How do I transform?" She dodged an energy ball as she yelled her question to Janus, who was wringing his hands. Two more balls came flying at her as she waited for Janus' answer. She jumped out of the way of one and flung herself to the ground to avoid the other. "Dammit, Faerie, how do I transform?!" She screamed. The red-head laughed- it was an annoying laugh. Very annoying. Sen narrowed her eyes- they were practically glowing green. No wait- they were glowing. Tayna found herself being picked up as if strings were attached to her body, and her clothing began to change. She felt as if a whole new world was becoming open to her- which, of course, it was- and she could feel the power in her fingertips. Janus bowed, the red-head gaped, Sen got out of the car. "I can do something! I rock!" She cheered.
The enemy shook her head. "No matter. I can still defeat you."
Back in her room, Tayna, Sen, and Janus debated on what to do with the woman they had dragged in with them…or at least, Janus debated.
"I'd say that she needs to be roughly woken up and interrogated under a hot grill-light." Tayna grabbed her lamp. "This should do!" Sen giggled, but immediately stopped after glancing at the very perturbed faerie.
"Well now we know who the 'smart one' is." Tayna grinned at her cousin, and a sudden expression of puzzlement appeared on her face. "Um…speaking of Sen, how the heck did you get me to transform?" Janus was nodding his head. "That's it, then. Sen has to unlock the senshi's powers, so to speak. Now the question is- can she find the other senshi?" Sen was about to answer when a loud banging on the closet door signaled that the red-headed woman had woken up. Tayna threw herself agains the door, trying to hold it closed, but she couldn't keep it that way for long. I wish I had a dead bolt on this thing. To her surprise, one began to materialize on the door. "Whoa…that's kind of weird." Janus shrugged, arms folded across his chest. "Overactive imagination. Told you so." Tayna stuck her tongue out at the faerie. The pounding on the door abruptly stopped. Sen looked up, suspicious.
"Do you think teleportation works in closets?" She wondered aloud. Tayna shrugged, and both girls looked at Janus expectantly. The faerie shook his head vigorously, but Sen was looking thoughtfully at the closet door. "It's reasonable- what else are we going to do? We've got to open the damned thing at some point."
The faerie stood back a little ways from the doorway as Tayna and Sen opened the deadbolt. As they did so, something in the darkness smiled wickedly…
