Summary: The Grand Opening of Hannah's mother's shop is here! A new evil arises and old faces emerge.

Dark Eclipse


"Come on Xena! Mom is about to open the shop!"

Hannah brushed her hair to the point of which it looked decent. She smiled to herself as she tied her hair with the new green ribbons that her mother had given to her. It had been an exciting month meeting new friends and having loads of fun. Sure she hadn't made any new friends at school, but she met Shift, Ptery, and even Xena to an extent. She had much to learn about this town and the strangeness of it all, but she would do her best if necessary.

"How do I look?" Hannah turned around to see the green skinned alien girl wearing a cute white blouse underneath a black dress. A red bow was on her breast and had glitter on it. Long white socks covered her legs and black buckled shoes. Her tentacles were done in a ponytail style and tied with thick black leather. "This outfit looks ridiculous!"

"Mom wanted us to wear uniforms around the shop! I'm just so glad that you are allowed to work with us!" Hannah said, hugging her. "Xena you are amazing!"

Xena blushed and pushed her away. "Okay little one, hands off my body. I just wanted your opinion on something, not your affection."

"Shift and Ptery are waiting for us downstairs. Mom is about to open the shop!" Hannah grabbed her hand and ran down the stairs. "I hope you have some sort of human disguise because we are gonna meet some new people!"

"What do you mean by that?!" Xena shouted, a bit of fear on her face.


"Madame Morphic, we have news regarding the little test subject and some more "interesting" topics."

The blond haired woman put her teacup to her lips and took a long sip. Her eyes shone with bright curiosity as she gazed at the files in front of her. Catrina stood beside her, tail flickering with nervousness as the minions waited for her approval.

"Well...this wasn't quite what I expected, but I'm glad to have received this much on the aliens that plague this town." She said, sighing in happiness as she put down her teacup. "But the girl we saw that night, how does she all play into this I wonder?"

"Perhaps time has come to put our plan in motion madame. The game is set in your favor after all." Catrina said, nails sharpening in the prospect of a good fight.

"Shall we send for Hunter J? She is ready to grab some new test subjects for you." One of her minions asked, communicator in hand.

"No, she is out on a mission for me. I believe my own daughter should suffice in her recon. I have her stationed at the local high school." She stirred her tea once more before sipping. "I have full confidence in her abilities."

"And the girl? She has already been in contact with the aliens in question."

Madame Morphic smiled gently as she put the cup down. "She has some potential, maybe we can convince her to crossover."


"A new shop has opened up downtown! I want to go check it out Elec!"

"I'm not sure if that is wise. We have studies to attend to and a test on Monday."

Arianna and Electra were walking down Comet Street, money in pocket and backpacks in hand. It had been a great week for them as they had just gotten used to their new classes and schedules. Moving up in classes had been difficult, but they could handle what was thrown at them. The alien girls also had to deal with the Plumbers and help find more hidden aliens. Selena was away from the house for awhile for a secret assignment so she and AK left that morning. Sirius was in charge while she was gone along with Cloak and Fira. Sun and the many kids of the heated duo were all going to school now so the house was mostly empty.

"Its a craft store though! You get some cute trinkets, make some nice junk, and meet some friendly people! Don't you want to meet more people outside the student council, debate team, and even your home?" Ari prodded, making Electra a bit uncomfortable.

"I-I-I..." She started to say before she collided with a person walking in front of her. The person she knocked down groaned in agony as she helped them up. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going."

"It's fine." A velvety smooth female voice replied back. "I wasn't paying attention. I apologize for the collision." The girl had ashen-black hair and bright amber eyes, while her fingernails are painted dark red. She wore a conservative dark gray outfit with a long-sleeved collared top and white armband. She also wore black tights with long black boots.

"Electra are you al-" Arianna stopped and gasped at the girl in front of them. "Oh my gosh! You're Venus Milos, the exchange student from that prestigious school in Reverse Falls."

"So I've heard..." Venus said, smiling a bit. "You must be Electra McKnight, the student council president and leader of the debate team at the nearby school. You have quite the reputation here."

"Um...thank you? I'm flattered that someone knows me from a different academy." Electra sweatdropped, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Why are you over in this part of town?"

"Checking out the new store opening and I'm here on transfer." Venus shrugged. "I think I deserve a break right?"

"Of course! We were just heading over right now." Ari grabbed her hand and smiled. "Why don't you join us Venus?"

Venus gave a small smile and nodded. "Why I be delighted to attend this event with you. Quite frankly I was alone today. Thank you for providing me with companionship."

"See? We already have one new friend! Now let's get going." Arianna went on ahead, Electra chasing after her. Venus watched them go forward and looked down at her phone.

"Mother, I'm in."
