Lightening Does Strike Twice:

(Mako & Angel )

Makoto since she married Nephrite on the first day of Spring and had her daughter prematurely 8 ½ months later. Would end up creating a tradition the very next year when her first wedding anniversary came around. Where they would wake up every morning in the early hours of the morning on school- free days. Since Makoto's daughter was always left in charge of pulling the small wagon her mother used. Always being filled with freshly packaged vegetables and meats in box wrapping paper tied with string. Sometimes hand written labels on reusable bottles laid mixed in with these items and were filled with liquids. Raw grains or roots that needed to be ground down were in brown bags and came with hand written descriptions. All came in organic state and was rarely pasteurize since Makoto like cooking/baking with farm grown goods. Meant befriending the sellers that came to the farmers' markets and asking them about their wares in detail. That made her popular in a good sense with these people whenever Kinos came.

Besides the face that Makoto ended up mesmerizing the stalls in each Farmers' market and the faces that came with them. Just this time around when she had to encourage Nephrite to take pulling the wagon and let their daughter wander. Let her use part of her allowance to buy a sweet treat from one of the confectionery stands or sugary drink. Which he would try to object to since after the recent investigation into supernatural event at a local business. Reports of a young girl terrorizing a book club had been looked into with no real results on investigators or detectives' ends. Left Nephrite rather worried that his daughter would be the next target until her awakening ceremony in a few months. Not that his wife was as worried as him when she allowed their daughter to run off and have some fun.

"You should start letting her do these kinds of things without you." Makoto tapped Nephrite on the nose.

He ended up giving her a look of disdain before having his arm grabbed and force to enjoy the rest of the day with her. Slowly forgetting their daughter was somewhere among the vendors, all alone, and just socializing with people he didn't know.

Regulars mechants that come to sale their products even week in the market area set up just for them started chattting. Saying the Opal White and Pale Blue colored tent top with rune written signs all round set up tables caught people's attention. Cotton table clothes that were dyed to match the tent top and covered three tables filled with wrapped treats. Tags tied around with silk ribbon and hand written labels on these whimcial themed plastic bags. All set up and Run by a greyed haired female calling her self Jewel with all her four sons dressed in matching aprons.

"Welcomed to Opal Moon confectioneries and Wanders." Would be the greeting one wold hear upon approaching the stall. "How can we help you?"

Some were left to blush or stay still upon being allowed to draw near the table and pick from arranged stacks of wrapped food. Also be surprised by pieces of home made jewelry with defect gemstones embedded in the sculpted metal. Someone was allowed to choice form and even buy along side one of the many sweets that were up for sale. Money for the items someone picked out would usually be handed to this women Jewel in exchange for a receipt and small flier. In hopes they would come visit the main location of their business whenever the chance comes for them. Today they were having a specially themed sale on baked goods from two cook books as a way of promoting how helpful cook books were. First was a two-volume French cookbook written by Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, both of France, an Julia Child of the United States. Second was continuously been printed since 1936 and has sold more than 18 million copies. It was privately published during 1931 by Irma S. Rombauer. Selected recipes from these books could be found on printed cards, that were native to France or the States. Could be taken home along side the food item that was baked from the recipe.

Had become quite a attention grabber for the stall when they got a few more new faces visiting them during their opening hours. One of these people came in the form of Makoto's and Nephrite's daughter lured by the smell of Golden Cherry Tomato and Ginger Jam. Served in small jars that came with price tags tied to the rim via a solid colored ribbon tied in a bow. Was being handed out on English Muffins to any that asked by a fellow brunet with thunder bolt named tag. While she would find the name Angel Caron before asking for a jar or two of the Jelly whike wanting a sample.

"Family bonding trip or forced out of your house to take in the fresh air?" Angel would ask her.

"Help mom and dad grocery shop." She answered. "Mako Kino by the way."

"Angel! You can take your break early since Alecjo got here." Jewel would thought Angel earned time off.

All the Angel needed to hand over his apron, name tag, and sample trey to this Alecjo before pulling on his sweater and messenger bag. To only be handed the leash to IL-Seong by Dann and informed free advertisement for the shop was best. Which Angel would take before he vanished into the crowd by Mako with a leashed IL-Seong leading the way.

"You think they would get along?" Andor asked Dann.

"Your asking me this now." Dann raised one of his eye brows. "When your reading a book recommended by someone your just met?"

"Not like I am complaining." Ciprian grins as he thought of Reika.

Andor could only think of one word about Ciprian's new found feelings of passion for a girl that made her desire for hot head. Making it clear she wanted to see if they were compatible before ever getting serious as an actual couple. Which left the two to sort out all kinds of conditions in the form of a Relationship Agreement in a compassion book.

"Whenever your guys got going on sounds like a arranged union then a actual relationship." Dann didn't understand what Ciprian and Reiko had.

"What ever works for them." Andor shrugs.

"Like talking about books and visiting libraries around Japan?" Dann jokingly asked Andor.

Andor rolled his eyes at what Dann had to say about how he and Amelie decided to spend their time when ever they got together. Meeting at train stations after series of lengthy texts planning out where they were going and were going to do. One leading the other around to these locations as she spoke about the collections of books they had for public. Other would listen and wait for given his own two sense when given the opportunity with questions to follow.

"Average one among us is the one that caught the girl with voice of a siren." Ciprian spoke of Dann and Mina.

"I haven't been tempted even once." Dann plays along.

"Any plans?" Andor figured Mina had something up her sleeve.

Dann would end up showing the latest text from Mina saying she wanted to go to theater to see a film that just got released in Japan. Something about movie being apart of a existing series of them that were popular in the States of late. She wanted to check it out with someone wasn't a childhood friend or guard assigned to her by her father or mother. He still needed to answer since the text message was just sent over an hour ago and sounded more cheerful.

"That leaves Angel." All three looked toward direction he and Mako disappeared.

All three knew from the growing up beside Angel, the only thing he ever seemed interested in was cooking and anything kitchen related. Always getting excited over the newest recipe he could find in a Cooking or kitchen themed magazine. Needing to watch the TV when ever his favorite cooking show came on to attending new restaurant openings. Spending hours on end testing out new recipes in the kitchen of their shop or at home to perfect the product.

"He may have finally found the one." Andor shifts his head.

"Fingers crossed." Dann and Ciprian commented.

Unheard wishes ended up making it to ears of said person they were speaking about when he started sneezing all the sudden. A napkin was handed to him from Mako's pocket to blow his nose as the stopped before one of the juice stalls. He even blew his nose as strongly as he could to clear his nostril passages before tossing the paper napkin into a bin. Pocketing his hands into his sweater while turning to the girl and requesting her help in navigating where they would go first. Blush that spread across her face had her brush non- existence piece of hair out of her face to behind her ear. Had her needing a minute before she spoke the best stall for a pair like them to go shopping while together. He would give her since he had all morning since his family weren't going any where until final hours of the market. Which she welcomed since this was going to be her first time unsupervised with a boy without her dad watching.

Was a sight that was welcoming to someone who had to admire Mako's wholesome persona and natural beauty of her face. Always found his voice caught in his throat when she visited his family's blacksmith stand with her parents every week. Unable to tell her or even ask her on simple outing of romantic kind when ever he look upon her Green eyes. Settling for her simple smile she looked over their table filled with hand crafted pieces of jewelry or other accessories. Would change when he saw her besides someone else that she was actually talking beside stirred an angry in him. Had him clenching a hammer from the tool box his parents kept around for repairs to their stall for tables or tent. Fueling the spirit that was attached to him with a growing dark aura that was on the verge of being released.

"Fudgecake." Dann noticed the Yellow Gem in his tieclip was glowing. "Duty calls."

Jewel ended allowing Dann to go off and handle the problem as other boys and family dog was going to stay with her. Wishing one of her many sons good luck with the capture without gaining attention of public eye with location they were in. Which he took to heart when he pulled his cell phone to send a quick text to Angel as he ran through the crowd. People got out his way when they remembered his face form the Opal Moon vendor and thought he was running an errand. He tried to smile when people waved to him as he passed them in a hurried state with each step he took. Lifting one of his hands to the glowing tieclip to morph his uniform and jacket into what he wore as Chevalier Luba. Had him pulling on the hood that was attached to his collar to hide his face from the eyes of strangers that he passed.

"Have to hurry." He readied his bow while moving.

Part of his face would be seen by Nephrite's eyes when he was being forced by Makoto to figure out which of the peaches were ripe enough. Orange and Gold archery set from bow and appearance of armor on hooded Dann had Nephrite on alert. Ready to go running off the young man and take him in for proper interrogation, if wasn't for Makoto had him doing. Leaving him to ignore the feeling of dread that was forming in the pit of his stomach and get back to checking fruit. Since a few rows down and two the right was rowing shadow and darkening aura that was expending in mass. Swallowing the countless stalls and vendors that shared or were beside the blacksmith's stall. Warping surrounding area in a darker version of kid's r- rated cartoon from what Chevalier Luba observed when he arrived.

Shouldering his bow as he started down the candy stripped path laid out for visitors in a guarded matter with observant eyed. Taking in how former shadows of the people holding goo that was once their wares within what were their hands. He would ignore in search of the spirit that had waken to this place and would start spreading their wickedness. Being careful in the steps he would place his feet when crunch of gravel when fear started to sent in.

" Luba!" Someone with a familiar voice called out to him. "Get Down!"

Those words were all Chevalier Luba needed to hit the darken ground under his boot clad feet and go as flat as he could. When by a mere inch or two, a single hammer dropped out of the air and moved on it own toward where he been standing. Missing the target that was the back of his head as disappeared back into the air way above Chevalier Luba's head. Who rolled on to his back staring at black nothingness that was sky for any sign of the hammer coming back.

"The vessel of The Hammer threw that projectile." Same voice answered. "In hopes that I would be hit."

Chevalier Luba was offered a hand that held a metallic green wrist band on it's wrists as a means to get off the ground. Luba would take hold with with own hand with a quick tug from a person pulling him from the ground and back on to his feet. In turn this person would reveal them self to be the Knight Lightenen, here to aid in take down of the spirit with Luba.

"Mako girl some where safe?" Luba adjusts the bow on his shoulder.

"Politely ditched her near the organic juice stand." Lightenen folds his arms.

Two would avert their attention to where the flying hammer would end up landing in the hands of the person that throw the tool. Who they had to face in order to bring down and remove the spirit within as they avoid the hammer. Which was going to be tough since a piece of metal and wood could move could move its own when thrown at one of them.

"Divide and conquer?" Luba asked.

"Really?" Lightenen asked back. "Why not bait and knocked out?"

"Let me guess, I am the bait you do the knocking out." Luba knew where Lightenen was going.

Two split quickly apart when once more Lightenen spotted the hammer flying at them from above their heads at full speed. Luba jumped out the way grabbing a sign to adsorb the impact of when the hammer landed in the ground. Lightenen was forcefully braced himself barely moving out of the way with gravel and dirt flying everywhere. Angle and speed in which it was coming at the two of them was a to the tell that the person who threw it. He knew they were here and didn't want them to get any closer to him or he was going to smash their heads in. Two would collect them selves and keep going forward until both of them found what looked like a mini metal fortress in place of blacksmith's stall.

Luba was the one that drew a red colored arrow with a ruby arrow head to string of bow when he took the left of the fortress' opening. He took a kneeling position in a stance to that would allow him to launch himself before the entrance, wand release his move. Lightenen took to the right of the fortress' entrance with his head piece turning in a antenna. Walking in a singular line toward the entrance with trail electrical sparks forming on outer wall just following him. Growing larger and larger with each step he took before he came face to face with darken entrance of metal structure.

"Your first mistake was creating this sore thumb to using of electrical element and second was putting Miss. Mako in harm's way." Lightenen yelled out as sparks beside him grew in number. "Third was ruining our time together."

He then focused the rest of his angry into single attach when he used a gloved fist to personally smash the hammer thrown at him point blank. Closed fist that forcefully pounded into flat top of the hammer as sparks connected with his hand. Gathered into one single point turned into a electrical strike that one would see from a blade of a sword. Melting and slicing the hammer and the fortress in two as the name of the move he called out was Sword of the Thunder Emperor. Luba waited for that one opening amongest the chaos created by Lightenen to launch his arrow. Which would happen sooner for Luba when he came in low at Lightenen's feet with arrow released for The Hammer's vessel. Flying through the air with a light forming around the arrow's head as feather start to fluff in size and shape. Soon pierce the center the vessel's center to start forming cracks in the dark version oft this kid's r- rated cartoon world. That would slowly fall in on it self and fade back to a appearance of a farmer's market that everyone knew.

Both Luba and Lightenen would end up disappearing in the crowd of people that swarmed the area that was lost for a few hours. People started helping others clean up their knocked over stalls and pick up what wasn't broken or shattered. Others tending to anyone that was found passed out on the floor or can remember pass a few hours of what happen. Left the parents of Mason Kato to ask anyone that offered to help them or passed the stand, if they have seen their son during their memory black out. They were told to rely a message from people of Opal Moon to Mason Kato's parents. That their son was in safe hands and was taking to persona in charge of the stall about jewelry crafting and gemstone appraisal. He'll be back with them before the farmer's market would come to a close with a new business proposal. Which left his mother relieved her son was alright and his dad assured her their son was good hands.

Nephrite ended up excusing himself from his wife side to make a run for their car and use the building in cell phone feature. To make a private call to a secure line of successful businessman by the name of Shin Aino of Harts Financial firm. Which would be answered by a stressed out man loosening his Grey color neck tie and asking how family shopping trip went.

"Those unnamed knights made another appearance." Nephrite answered him. "I got a clear look at one of them."

Nephrite stated that blonde haired boy that Mina had a big crush on was one of these unnamed knights with impressive reflexes. Just the way he moved and uniform he wore told Nephrite that he was possible senshi from another world. Had Shin sighing and agreeing they needed to look further into this problem before presenting everything to The King and Queen. Led to the conversation cutting short since both had their civilians lives to get back too, one to the role of a husband helping his wife grocery shop. The other gets back to his role apart of a Financial firm and a family man. Who would reach one to framed picture of his idol wife with voice of a siren and passionate daughter.
