CHAPTER EIGHT

VESTROIA

Niala got all of her friends going to Vestroia with her together and to them that they were leaving in two hours. She had to tell her students that she was leaving again. Daren knew that was coming. Niala took her students very seriously. But she also took her Dragoon, Wingly, Brawler and her Scouts abilities very seriously.

"But Niala why do you have to go?" asked Kaly

"Because we're the only ones that can stop the Shadow Dragon.

"Oh."

"Kids listen. It's not that I like leaving you but in the things that have been going on I'm the only one with the power to stop them." said Niala "I hope that soon I'll be able to quit leaving you guys."

"Um Niala is this like what happened at my village?" asked Kaly

"Yes." said Niala "Kaly do you remember how when we tried to help you, you told us that it was something you had to do on your own?"

"Yes."

"Then you understand." said Niala standing up.

"Yes ma'am I do."

"Now you five listen to Serena and everyone else here. Haschel and Shana are staying here so you guys do what they say as well. Understand?"

"Yes ma'am." said the five of them in unison

And so Niala, the Brawlers and Dragoons left for Vestroia. Those Rose or the others Dragoons didn't know what was going to happed in the other world they knew Niala would help them. But Daren saw the she was troubled and knew that something was wrong. He was worried. Niala hardly ever looked like she did now. Scared. He knew the last time she had looked like this was when she and Neshy, the new Divine Dragoon and one of Zieg's decedents, faced her uncle, Melbu Framha.

"Nia, you okay?" asked Daren

"Yeah." said Niala blushing, usually Daren didn't call her Nia unless they were alone.

'Nia?' thought Rose to Niala

'Shut up Rose!' thought Niala

'Jeez Ni.'

'Leave me alone!' Niala shouted in her head.

"Man."

"She kicked you out?" asked Shun

"How did you know that Skyress?"

"Rose Shun please."

"Sorry. So how did you know?"

"The look on your face." said Shun walking away leaving Dan shaking his head at Shun's meddling

"Shun you need to stop meddling." said Dan

"I'm not." said Shun smiling

"Guys look!" shouted Runo pointing

The two boys looked up and saw that the six warriors of Vestroia were waiting for them.

"We know why you are here." said the Ventus warrior

"I'm sure you do." said Niala "I need to see Akatsuki."

"We know. She's already waiting on you."

"Where?" asked Shun

"In the Core." said Niala

"The Core? How do we get there?" asked Alice

"You go through your elements." said Niala "Dan you and Dart go through the Pyrus region. Shun you and Albert go through here. Meru you go with Marrucho through Aquas. Rose you go with Alice through the Darkus region. Runo you and Miranda go through Haos, and Kongol you go with-"

"Ami!"

"Huh? Serena what-?"

"We're going to help you and Daren." said Darien

"You know about Vestroia?" asked Dan

"Yep" said Raye.

"Sailor Moon. It's been too long." said the Haos warrior

"Yes it has been." said Serena

"You know her?" asked Runo

"Don't ask." said Niala "It's a long story."

"Okay" said Shun, who was also confused

"Anyway Kongol you go with Julie through Subterra. Serena-"

"The Sailor Scouts will have to go with you Teara. They can't go through the elements like the Brawlers can." said the Pyrus warrior

"Alright lets go."

And so Niala, Daren, Serena and the other scouts went through the Silent and Infinity core to get to the main Core. Serena was so confused along with the other scouts. They kept looking at Niala wondering what was going on, but they could tell that not even Niala knew what was happening which worried Serena.

"Niala?"

"Don't worry Daren. I know where I'm going." she said

"That's not it. I know something is up." said Daren

"No not yet anyway." said Niala

'Yet' thought Darien

"Lets go."

Soon the seven of them met up with Dan and Dart outside of Pyrospace along with Rose and Alice. They were talking when Shun, Albert, Runo, and Miranda came out of Ventus and Haos. After Marrucho. Meru, Julie, and Kongol met up with them they went to Akatsuki's domain, the Core

"Serena if I were you I'd go into Sailor Moon and quickly." said Niala. "Lita you guys too."

"What about you?" asked Lita

"Don't worry about me." said Niala "Just change"

"Okay." said Serena "Moon Crystal power!"

"Venus Crystal power!" shouted Mina

"Mars Crystal power!" shouted Raye

"Jupiter Crystal power!" shouted Lita

And so the Sailor Scouts, the Brawlers and the Dragoons headed to the Core not realizing that by leaving the mortal world they allowed Shakoru free reign over the world. They didn't realize that the Sailor Scouts' old enemy Queen Beryl would team up with Shakoru making him more dangerous than what he was already. No one knew but Niala and that was what worried her which in turn worried Serena and the other scouts.
