Chapter 12 – The Search Begins…

Darkness covered the planet. There was not a single ounce of light. Looking around she found herself staring at a tall building in the center of Tokyo. It looked like Tokyo tower. The glass walls had been smashed and glass was broken across the sides of the building. She felt something hit the tip of her boots. Looking down she picked up the broach that had hit her boots. As she picked it up, she saw a great deal of energy and light emit from it.

'Look at how exquisite it is' she thought to herself, she ran her hand through her hair and held the broach closer. With this broach in her grasp she suddenly felt a great sense of hope and belief pour through her body. 'There has to be someway to return this city to that of its former glory'

CRACK

She turned her attention behind her, the cracking sound had sounded like a twig breaking from someone stepping on it. She found a woman not much older than she standing behind her, her body engulfed in a similar light that matched that of the broach she was carrying in her hands.

"Who are you?" she whispered to the woman. The older woman standing infront of her mouth moving but nothing came out, at least not for the first few minutes.

"Two Moons and Two Suns, The Earth is cast into darkness'." The older woman answered, causing her to look at her blankly.

"I'm sorry?" she asked, trying to get some clarification.

"Two Moons and Two Suns, The Earth is cast into darkness'. " The older woman answered yet again in the same tone of voice. ""Two Moons and Two Suns, The Earth is cast into darkness'."

A blinding light emitted from the broach in her hand again as she raised it up into the air.

"Firefly" the older woman answered, "Two Moons and Two Suns, The Earth is cast into darkness'." She whispered once more before disappearing.

Hotaru rose up in her bed, she turned to the alarm clock that was on the bedside table. Its nine thirty at night so she hadn't been asleep long. She closed her eyes.

'Two Moons and Two Suns, The Earth is cast into darkness' a voice sang into her head causing her to open her eyes again. She put her feet over the edge of the bed and reached for the pen and paper she kept in her bedside cupboard, she wrote down what she had dreamt about. More importantly noting 'Two Moons, Two Suns. The Earth is cast into darkness' She then got to her feet and put on her dressing robe, walking down the hall she walked towards her father's laboratory. She saw the light on and proceeded down to it, opening the door slowly she stopped when saw a group of figures standing there.

Kaolinite stood with Professor Tomoe as they both stared at the girls infront of them. He had summoned the witches to tell them their mission but they stood infront of him giggling like a bunch of school girls.

"Girls" Tomoe spoke.

A young woman with long red hair tied up in two low pigtails which trailed down her back. She wore a red midriff bikini shirt, with matching three quarter pants. Her name was Eudial. Standing beside her were four other figures. Next in line was a blonde haired girl, her hair reaching to her shoulders, a black headband in place. She wore a black and yellow dress. Her name was Mimete. Following her was another young woman, she had long light blue hair, her hair was so long and silky. She wore a pair of tight blue pants, witch a matching shirt, her name was Viluy. There was two figures standing beside her, one had short green hair up in two buns with little trinkets of hair coming out of each bun, she wore a beautiful black and green dress wit black tights underneath. Her name was Tellu, finally there stood a girl with her hair up in two high buns with plaits. The one on the left was blue and the one the right was red. As such her outfit consisting of a sleeveless dress was split into two colors, also red and blue. Her name was Cyprine. But she also went by the name Ptilol. They each faced the professor and smiled.

"Yes professor" they spoke in unison.

"These warriors" Tomoe spoke as he turned their attention to the computer screen he was staring at. "Are the Sailor Soldiers, you must try to find the pure heart crystals without them getting in the way."

"Eudial, you will be first up to the plate" Kaolinite confirmed facing the group herself. Eudial stepped forward and smirked. She flicked her long red hair over her shoulder.

"The stupid scouts will not know what got them" Eudial answered before disappearing leaving the others to themselves.

"Those scouts will not be able to defeat the latest batch of daimons coming in. This world will belong to our mistress soon enough" Tomoe answered.

Serena yawned for the seventh time that morning since they left to head towards school. Travis had been keeping up his bargain and had continued to wake Serena up every morning, Serena thought that when she'd found out about him being her brother that he would be nicer. Boy was she wrong.

"I can't believe you made me get up at six" Serena moaned

"Well we're meeting the girls before school to discuss last nights attack" Travis explained, "Do you not remember that after dinner?"

"Yeah that food was great" Serena answered completely off topic, "So how's Crystal?"

Travis sighed, his sister did always have a one track mind. "She is good" he answered carefully, "But Serena we do have bigger problems at hand"

"I know, I know" Serena answered with a wave of her hand. "Race you to the top" she the ran off and proceeded up the stairs to the temple, Travis quickly ran after her. He was gasping for air as he reached the top.

"Hey" Travis answered with a gasp, "That's not fair you've had lots of practice"

"Well with all her being late what more would you expect" Raye piped up from her spot on the stairs. "Quick the girls are inside" The two smiled and walked inside following their friend. They took a seat in the room as they closed the door.

"Morning" Lita said brightly as she poured another two cups of juice and moved some muffins infront of them.

"Oh Lita, you always know to bring muffins" Serena said with a sparkle in her eyes. She began to eat the muffin. "So nice"

"Serena" Travis groaned,

"Anyways, after last night's attack I think it is safe to say we are obviously facing something" Raye answered, "The fire hasn't told me a lot, if anything. All I know is that that school down on the pier is emitting a powerful energy"

"Mugen High School?" Amy asked curiously, as Mina smiled at her friend.

"You know that school Amy?" Mina asked.

"Yes, they have an amazing academic selection"

The group dropped their heads as they laughed. Serena tapped Amy on her shoulder. "Ah Amy" Serena whispered.

"Amy, we'll go check it out after school" Travis suggested, "We can do some reading's with your computer and I will bring Apollo, he can get a real bird eye's view"

"Great" Raye answered, "Serena, Lita you guys can come with me. We will try to find some other leads. So don't get detention"

"Yeah, Yeah" Serena answered irritated.

---

The school passed by rather slowly; to say the least the girls were happy to finally be out for the day. They had already begun to go their separate ways. Waving to Amy and Travis, Serena and Lita made their way to the temple.

"I think we can fit a few games in before Raye finishes school for the day" Lita smiled as they changed their course to the arcade, Serena's eyes went big as they entered. She looked around trying to find Andrew. She smiled when he waved and made her way to him. As much as she hated to admit it, she did have a crush on the young man. As did Lita. They both liked him, but Serena had Darien. Andrew also had a girlfriend.

"Hey Andrew" Serena answered sitting down on a stool, Lita following suit.

"Afternoon Ladies, how are we?" Andrew spoke gently.

"We're alright" Lita answered, "Wow this place is certainly buzzing today?" she was referring to all the people who were there playing games. There was a crowd circling around a set of car games. Cheering.

"Whose there?" Serena answered as she followed Lita's gaze.

"Oh, they are from Mugen. Really great drivers really, I don't understand why they'd be bothering with a game when they can do it on the track" Andrew answered,

"A race car driver?" Serena questioned, "At such a young age"

"Yeah" Andrew smiled once again at the duo.

"I bet I could beat them" Serena said proudly, raising her hand in the air. "I think I might give it a go"

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Andrew spoke up.

"I'll be fine" Serena waved off what he said and walked over to the crowd, pushing herself through to get to the front. She held her purse in front of her and smiled as the race concluded.

"That was fun" the person driving said with a smirk.

"I challenge you" Serena answered proudly, as she caught glimpse of the driver. She was very tall, reasonably masculine as well. Short blonde hair, flicked to the side. Dark blue eyes. Wearing a school uniform obviously, brown jacked with a white blouse underneath and long navy pants. When the driver looked at her and smiled, Serena suddenly felt weak in the knees. He was handsome.

"Oh do you now kitten?" the driver answered. "How about I pay for you, just so you don't get too upset when you lose?"

"I will not lose" Serena answered taking her seat opposite her challenger. The crowd around them began to cheer more as the race began on its way. Serena slammed her foot on the accelerator; she wasn't even slowing down around corners, concentrating really hard, her tongue sticking out of the corner of her mouth. She then noticed that her challenger hadn't even moved.

"Uh oh" Lita whispered to Andrew, "Why isn't he moving?"

"She doesn't need to" Andrew said with a smile, making sure he exaggerated the 'She' part.

Serena's smile broadened as she reached her second lap, she was going to win this. Her challenger then began to play. Serena's smile soon faded when out of nowhere from two laps behind she lost. Serena stared in shock.

"But how…?" Serena asked almost in tears. She looked to her side and found a hand reaching out for her. She happily took it and climbed out of her seat.

"You did alright kitten"

"Yes, don't worry not many people can beat Amara" a friendly voice spoke up from behind the two. Standing behind Amara was a beautiful, tall and slender woman. She had long aqua green hair that went just passed her shoulders, she wore a matching uniform to that of Amara. Only she wore a skirt instead of pants. She smiled and held out her hand to Serena. "I'm Michelle, and this is Amara"

"Amara?" Serena questioned, she then did a double look over the driver and realized that he was in fact a she. 'Wow' she thought to herself.

"It's alright kitten, you are an alright driver for a junior high girl" Amara teased as they walked over to the counter.

"I think it's time for some milkshakes on the house" Andrew answered leaving the counter to go out back and make up some complimentary drinks.

Serena introduced Amara and Michelle to Lita. They were engaging in a friendly conversation when they heard glasses shattering from out the back where Andrew was.

'Andrew" Lita shouted as she tried to look out the back through the door. She couldn't get over the counter without a key, it was locked up. Suddenly the door flung open and Andrew was thrown across the room into the wall. A figure standing in the doorway. A young woman with long red hair tied up in two low pigtails which trailed down her back. She wore a red midriff bikini shirt, with matching three quarter pants.

"Pathetic" Eudial answered, "You can't possibly have a pure heart crystal"

'.:We need to get away:.' Michelle thought as she looked at Amara. Almost as if she heard it Amara nodded.

'.:But what about the kitten and her friend?:.' Amara questioned, looking to the side but they were gone. 'That's solved'

Eudial pulled the gun off her back and held it infront of Andrew. She pulled the trigger as a beam of energy flew towards him and engulfed his body. As it did so, a crystal flew out of his body.

"HOLD IT!"

"Oh god, not you again!" Eudial moaned as she looked up and found two Sailor Soldiers standing on the counter.

"It's me again, I am the soldier of love and justice. Sailor Moon" Sailor Moon shouted, "On behalf of the moon..."

"And on behalf of Jupiter" Sailor Jupiter shouted from beside her team mate.

"We will right wrongs and triumph over evil" Sailor Moon added,

"And that means you" The two scouts finished together as they struck a pose.

"Pathetic" Eudial repeated, "You think those speeches are going to harm me?"

"No, but this will" Jupiter answered as she prepared her attack. "JUPITER THUNDER CLAP….ZAP" a clap of lightning flew towards her causing her to drop the crystal that flew out of Andrew's body and disappear. Sailor Moon saw this and quickly ran for it before it hit the ground. But someone else got in the way of it. Sailor Moon stared in shock as she realized that infront of her stood two Sailor scouts. 'The Sailors from yesterday' she thought to herself. As she took note of their uniforms. One of a blue and yellow combination the other different shades of green.

"Hey give that back to him" Moon begged as she grabbed the other scouts arms. "That's not your to take"

"It's not what we are after anyway" the first scout answered as she replaced the crystal into Andrew's body. As it entered a beam of energy emitted from his body and created a form infront of them.

Sailor Moon pulled back as the energy disappeared revealed a daimon. "What is that?!" she asked in shock.

"A daimon" her fellow scouts answered. This daimon looked to be made of rubber, and was an exact replica of the race car game that Serena had been playing earlier. She frowned.

"Moon tiara action" she shouted throwing her tiara at the daimon. It just flicked it away. "No way"

"Let me try" Jupiter answered. "JUPITER SURPREME THUNDER" her attack flying towards the daimon and reflecting, causing the others in the arcade to jump and try to avoid the lightning that was flying everywhere.

"Uranus world shaking" one of the scouts shouted as they thrust energy at the daimon, it hit it fast and hard.

"NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE" the last scout shouted as a wave of water went flying towards the daimon, soaking it from head to toe. "Try now Jupiter"

"JUPITER THUNDER CLAP ZAP" Sailor Jupiter shouted, her lightning flying across the room towards the daimon, which in turn screamed as the water conducted the electricity and turned the daimon to dust. Sailor Moon smiled turning to the new scouts.

"Thank you" She answered with bright eyes. "Thank you so much, I know you are not our enemies and that we can work together as a team" she held out her hand.

"Neptune what are you doing?" the figure asked as the aqua haired scout went to shake Sailor Moon's hand.

"Uranus, she is not our enemy" Neptune answered facing Sailor Moon. Sailor Uranus jumped infront of her.

"We have a mission to do. We need to find the pure heart crystals. We will take whatever mean's necessary. If you even try to get in the way of that and our goal. We will have no hesitation in eliminating the problem" Uranus answered turning away and facing Neptune. "Let's go" with that she disappeared. Neptune turned to Sailor Moon.

"She's not really that mean, we just have a mission to do" Neptune answered as she too disappeared. Sailor Moon stared in shock. 'Mission?' she thought to herself.

Travis and Amy were standing outside a high school just near the harbor in Tokyo. Both were looking rather concerned. Amy had her mini computer out and as typing away at it furiously.

"Can you find anything?" Travis asked

"Nothing, we just don't have enough to go on" Amy answered disappointed. "All we know is that they are after pure heart crystal. We don't even now what they are"

"There has to be something Raye has sensed negative energy coming from this school"

"I know what Raye said Travis, but this computer just isn't picking up on anything at all" Amy answered.

"Can you get into the main server here? There might be information on the school computers" Travis suggested.

"I can try but it will take a bit" Amy answered once again. Travis was silent for a few minutes until Amy smiled and looked happy with what she got. "I think I have got it, what I'll do is I will save the information and we can go through it back at the temple"

Beep Beep.

Travis looked to his communicator and saw his sister's face. "What's up Serena?"

"Meeting at the temple now. Andrew was attacked at the arcade" Serena called through as Travis sighed.

"Weren't you supposed to be at the temple?" Travis queried. Serena laughed nervously.

"Just get there" Serena answered as she clicked off. Amy smiled.

"Yes, let's get there I have all the information I could get"

---

Amara stood with Michelle on the dock overlooking the ocean as the waves hit the shore. She smiled to herself.

"I sensed something about that girl from the arcade today" Amara confessed, "She has great energy maybe even a pure heart"

"Yes" Michelle whispered, "I sensed that as well. She could be a victim in the future we should keep a close eye on her"
