Sailor Takao R Chapter 25

In the main area of the space ship, Joseph worked endlessly at the computer. His fingers danced across the keyboard with ease while dark circles had appeared under his lids. Ozuma narrowed his gaze as he watched the old city of Tokyo before him.

It annoyed him.

This disgusting city…

Filled with germs and so many people. People who didn't know of the white Goddess…

That thought alone had brought a smile his face.

Though he was trapped here with his minions who barely understand what is the cause for this war.

"Hey! I was finally able to break through!" Joseph piped up. Salima, Mariam and Dunga had appeared. "We have… a call-message waiting?" Joseph sounded confused before loading up the message. In the centre, a hologram version of a man in dark cloak had appeared before them.

"I… Foresee When the sun rises at the break of dawn there will be an energy burst at an overpass in the district called bay at this XXXX time." Came the message.

"An overpass in the bay district, who will produce this energy?" wondered Ozuma.

"The young dragons we seek!" declared the old man.

"I'll send the specter family to keep an eye on the area," Ozuma's gaze travels over to the clan members that have arrived. They all stood attention before taking they're leave. "You too Joseph." The young man was annoyed, but relief at the same time. He disappeared through the teleportation mirror.

"We are alone…" The shadowy figure nodded their head in understanding. "So tell me wise man, how are things on your side?" wonder Ozuma. "Has Crystal Tokyo fallen yet? Our clan should have taken over most of Crystal Tokyo by now."

"True, but the crystal points that surround the castle, we are unable to find their source of power. We think there are others with powerful energies..." came a croak.

"Powerful energy? Who could they be?" wondered Ozuma.

"The four guardians stand in our way, they are the ones who produce the energy, while the family of earth still fights and have taken down several of our ships. They have weaken consider amount as if lately."

"In this world, the ones known as Sailor Guardians foiled our plans. I wonder… perhaps they have some connection between them and the four guardians of Crystal Tokyo." Ozuma began to think about it.

"We must find the silver crystal as soon as possible and destroy it!" came a hiss as the hologram communication was cut. Ozuma narrowed his gaze.

"Well… It seems I have my work set out for me…" Ozuma waltz over to the computer with an odd blue gemstone within his grasp. The gemstone glimmer in the light before going dull. Then before his eyes, Joseph and Mariam had appeared before him. It was like they were holograms, which he couldn't interact with. That didn't bother him. He wasn't interesting in their conversation more in the video they were analyzing. He had paused the motion and brought the video closer. It was Soldier Metal, who held a scythe to Mariah's neck. Her hair flown down her back as the odd black tattoo was evidenced on her forehead. "Now why would dear Mariam…" he gave the strict woman a pointed look. "And Joseph…" he shifted his gaze towards the shorter male. "Try to keep this clip from me?" He wondered out loud to no one in particular. Soon their image had faded and the video had popped up on the computer. He had zoom in on the image. "Is it maybe because metal dragon resublimes the Queen?" He ponder further… as he brought up more images. "Or maybe its because she is the Queen herself?!" A woman, wearing a lavish kimono that was pulled back to show off the curves of her body with hidden peaks depending on a person looked at the photo. Her hair was down her back with a faint mark upon her forehead. "And if that is so…." Ozuma brought up another picture. This one was a woman, wearing a white gown, praying. She was decorating in pearls and jewels. "Then that would mean Sailor Wind is white Goddess…" Ozuma narrowed his gaze onto the photo of the two warriors together. Sailor Wind hugging Soldier Metal. "Let's see how this pans out?" He was able to extract the photos and hid them away in a time seal file. "Sailor Wind… You better watch your back."

In the private chambers, Joseph let out a sigh of relief as he body hit the bed. It was so soft and comfy! He pulled the pillow close to his body.

"Why are you in here?" Mariam was busy looking over the reports of her family members while monitoring their location. Salima was busy in the armoury while Dunga was in the pray room.

"Because your bed is softer than mine." Came a sigh. Joseph cuddle deeper in the clean bedding.

"Or is it because I clean my bed regularly?!" She growl at her brother as she jerked her pillow free from his grasp.

"Hey! I don't come in here and judge you!" Joseph rolled onto his back as he stared up at the ceiling.

"That's because I have nothing worth judging me over." Mariam narrowed her gaze.

"Feh… yeah right, what about that love connect you have with Sapphire?"

"That's over…." She replied stoically. She lean closer to the video monitor.

"Sure… you keep telling yourself that!" Joseph let out a sigh of content as he relax into the bed.

"What is he doing?" Joseph perked to his sister's mumbling.

"Who is what doing?"

"Master Ozuma… He is just staring at the city…." Mariam commented.

"Well… I know he shares the same views as Salima about this place, so maybe he is planning on the attack."

"No… he order all of us to go a stack out." Mariam muttered. "Besides, we have two hours before we need to any real action."

"Hey! Maybe we can finally see if our hypothesis is right!" Joseph grin playfully.

"Maybe…" Mariam rose up from her chair. "Now I need you to move!" Joseph stared up at his sister.

"What! But I'm sleeping here!" He whined.

"And I need my rest too! Now shovel over!" Joseph whined as he rolled over as Mariam got into bed with him.

"This weird…"

"Yeah well get over it!" Mariam set a alarm as the two go comfy. Then they just stared at the ceiling.

~W~

"Mommy! Daddy!" Mikaru found herself running down a dark hall as she cried out for her parents. Then she came across a huge bay window which reveal the a city in destruction. She a see a park near by, with Hikaru on the monkey bars. Then her attention was draw to the blast that was occurring in the background. Then she went on banging on the window yelling for her brother to come in. "Hikaru! Hikaru! Please come home! HIKARU!"

"Hika…." Mikaru was tossing and turning in bed. She began to whine as she curled up into a ball. "Hikaru!" She sat up suddenly. The young boy froze in his spot. He was heading towards the door. He stared at his sister, who was breathing heavily.

"I went potty…" he confessed as he shifting from foot to foot. Mikaru's eyes adjusted as she stared at the boy.

"Oi! What's up with all the yelling?" Came a sleepy coo. Makoto sat up, still rubbing her eyes. She let out yawn before she cuddle closer to Mikaru.

"Hikaru… Where is Catherine and Tala?" Mikaru shrugged off her Makoto who whined at the loss of her cuddle buddy.

"They sleeping!" He stated as he crawled back into bed.

"Sleeping? Sleeping where?" Mikaru took a quick look around the bedroom, and noticed they were the only ones inside.

"On couch!" He stated happily as he pulled up the covers.

Mikaru nodded as she went over to the door. She gasp in surprise as the door had began to open.

"Oh good morning little one!" Came a pleasant sigh. Tala stood at the entrance with his clothes wrinkle and ruffled. It was odd to see him so messy looking. "How did you sleep?" He wondered. Mikaru nodded her head.

"I slept all right." She stated.

"Good, Catherine and I will be making breakfast soon." He quickly went into his dresser and pulled out some clothes. "We will call you once it's done." He began to close the door.

"Why are you grabbing your clothes?" She wondered.

"Uh… needs a new set!

"Why?"

"Because!"

"Is it because you're are all messy?" Tala shifted his gaze towards the child. He had to admire their attentive eye. He only flash them a smile.

"How about you get a few more seconds of shut eye, eh?"

"Why is your hair sticking up all funny?" Tala slammed the door shut behind him. He muttered a curse under his breath as he stalk towards the living room.

"Geeze… I didn't realize sleeping on the floor made you this grumpy." Tala look at Catherine. She sat on the couch with a thin blanket covering her naked form. His eyes widen as he tilted his head away. OMG! She is so sexy! "Yuri?" She set her tea cup down onto the coffee table. He quickly held out the clothes for her. Catherine looked surprise at the bundle of clothing. "Oh?" She gentle took the bundle. "Thank you. I will go and change." She smiled warmly towards him. Tala allowed himself to gaze after her.

"Tala?" His looked back at his bedroom door. He glare at it with all his might. "I need to pee," his gaze had soften as a defeated sigh escaped him. "May I leave the bedroom?"

"Just a moment…" he called out. He couldn't believe it, the kids were wiggling their way into his heart.

Mikaru stared at the door with a sad pout. She was slightly annoyed at being ignored and not getting her questions answered! They were just simple questions! She begin to pout.

"Oh no worries Mikaru!" Makoto stated. "I will have collected the silver crystal by this evening tomorrow!" Smiled the girl. Mikaru shifted her gaze towards her cousin.

"No…" Makoto's smile began to fade. "Because I am going to tell Soldier Metal and Sailor Wind what is truly going on." Makoto's eyes widen. Hikaru narrowed his gaze.

Catherine let out a heavy sigh as she closed the door. She couldn't believe it! She actually went through with it. She quickly slipped on the pair of loose clothing. The sweater was big and it hang half off her shoulders. Her hair was absolute mess. She quickly took out the pins from her hair and allowed it fall down her back. She quickly run her fingers through to work out some of the knots. There was some tapping on the door which startle her.

"Hey! Mikaru need to use the washroom!" She stared at it for a moment.

"Okay! I'm coming out!" She open the door to be greeted by Tala. His face was still flush. She was beginning to wonder if the man had any regrets.

"So…" He continued to look her over. She wasn't that strange looking… was she?'

"Uh! We should make breakfast! I am sure the children are ravenous." He quickly stated. Catherine couldn't help but smile. That mere statement had warm her heart.

"Yeah… That sounds like a lovely idea!" She grin as she followed him to the kitchen.

"NO! You can't!" Makoto shouted at Mikaru. "This is mine mission!" Mikaru's eyes widen as she stood before her cousin. "Mikaru! How could you!" Makoto dash out of the bedroom. She passed the kitchen when she spotted Catherine and Tala. The two were laughing and giggling in the kitchen. Her eyes widen at the sight of them. "Stop it!" She shouted. Catherine and Tala both looked up in surprise. "Stop it! Why would you tell her that!" Makoto shouted. "It wasn't your choice to make!" Tears stream down Makoto's face as she bolt out of the apartment.

"Makoto!" Catherine was about to go after the girl, until the twins came running after. "Kids!" They quickly darted pass her and took off through the open door. "Damn it!" Catherine turn to look at Tala who looked equal confused.

"We have to go after them!" Tala nodded his head.

"Yes we do." He smiled. She kept shifting her gaze while Tala was busy cutting up apples.

"Then how come you're not in a hurry?" She wondered as she flutter her eyes lashes in confusion.

"Because I want to eat before going on adventure." Tala continued on cooking. "Besides, we just need to send a message the others, someone will be on the look out for them." Catherine was in awe at how relax Tala was. She was beginning to wonder if the sex had anything to do with it. "Kitten?" He wondered worriedly. Catherine stood with her head down. "Hey, what's wrong?" He quickly put the food down as he went over to her side.

"I am worried that sex with me has made you lazy!" she whimpered. Tala stared in awe.

"Uh… kitten, no, no… I just-"

"Oh shoved it! We have to go look for those kids!" She growled out. Tala let out a whine. He grabbed the apple sliced and joined her outside.

~W~

Takao felt oddly refresh and comfortable at the moment. Until she heard the quiet whispers. Or she had hope they were trying to be quiet.

"How long do you think she's gonna lie there?" Came a loud crunch.

"I don't know… when was the last time she ate?" Came a voice a wonder. There was another crunch.

"I do not know…" came a board tone. "Though I am positive that a her low blood sugar will awake up her soon." Crunch.

What the hell where they eating! And why did they have to staring?!

"Arg! Aren't you two done yet?" Came a familiar whine.

"NO!" Came the choir of the two.

"I can't believe I actually agreed to this." The sound of electron device powering up had caught her attention. "Takao! If you don't get up soon, there won't be any breakfast left over."

WHAT! You guys aren't going to share!

There was a groan. The trio perked up as they all stared at the teen. Takao struggle to open her eyes. "Uh…"

"She's awake!"

"Yes, but her energy low is much lower than except! Ray!"

"Got it!" The dark hair teen was gone before Manabu could finish the order. Takao stared at her two friends in question.

What is going on? How come I can't talk!

Takao made some moaning sounds as she struggle to get up. Maxine and Manabu raced to the teen's side.

"Hey Takao!" Maxine's soft perky voice had filter through her head. Why wasn't her voice so clear. Manabu had taken out her computer and stuck some odd things to her. "How are you feeling?" Wondered the teen.

"Her energy level is still pretty low… I think we should take her to the hospital." Manabu stated.

"No…" Takao shook her head. "Just give… bun!" She groaned out. The two shared a look before looking back at the teen.

"I'm really worried!"

"Uh… yeah! Takao is usually a bundle of energy that sometimes need a dim button." Manabu added. Maxine couldn't help but smile at the comment. Ray came rushing back with a Tupperware of bake goods. He was about to take out a bake good until Takao immediately perked up and started stuffing her face. Both Manabu and Maxine reseeded back.

"Are you kidding me!" Maxine nearly yelled. "You freaking kidding me!" She shouted. Takao shook her head as she continued to eat.

"Using magic drains ours fat storages…" Ray spoke up. Maxine perked up while Manabu continued to watch Takao's vitals.

"They what?"

"That's what Catherine said." He said. Maxine stared at the dark hair teen. "In order for us to produce magic outside our transformation tools, we need to indisgest high calorie substances. Since Takao had preform three cleanse yesterday, it took a total on her body." Maxine tilted her head to the side in confusion.

"He means, more sugar you eat, longer you can last in battle." Manabu added.

"Oh! Then how come you didn't say that?" Maxine smiled. Ray looked slightly irritated.

"Ah! That feels wonderful!" Takao stated happily. The trio looked at the teen. "Great! So what are we doing today?" The teens all shared a look before looking at Takao. Then they show her the text message they received. "The kids ran away?"

Manabu nodded her head,

"Yes, and the knights want to have a meeting with how things are going."

"But our first priority should be the kids." Ray injected. "They ran away from Catherine." Takao looked surprise by the comment.

"What? Why? Didn't they like her?"

"We thought so too." Manabu stated.

"We think this has something to do with Makoto." Maxine decided to bring it up. Takao let out a heavy sigh.

"Damn it! Even when she is not in my care! She is still causing trouble! We should split up!" Takao quickly leap out of bed. "Everyone keep their phones on them!" The group nodded. "And has someone alerted Dragoon and dranzer?" The all exchange looks.

"No… but we think they might know all ready."

"Why?"

"Dranzer usually hangs out with Tala…" Maxine looked nervous.

"And Dragoon with Catherine." Ray confessed. Takao looked confused for a moment.

"Takao… I think-"

"They are just making sure the kids are fine!" Maxine quickly interrupted. Ray looked annoyed.

"Good! Then let's hurry!" Takao changed into her male uniform. "Come on!" Ray shot Maxine a look who shot one back. Manabu followed Takao closely behind.

"Maxine! We can't keep this far her forever!" Ray grabbed a hold of the blonde's hand.

"Yes! But right now isn't the right time!" Maxine jerked her hand free. "Now lets go!" Maxine quickly darted out of the bedroom. Ray grumbled before following after.

~W~

Makoto huffed and puff as she ran. She ran as far as her little legs would carry her. She needed to get home! She needed to find away home! She began to climb stairs.

"Makoto!" Came a shout. The little girl froze in her spot. Mikaru and Hikaru were standing at the bottom of the staircase. "Please stop!" Came a pant. Mikaru looked winded while Hikaru took in their surroundings.

"{Why are we at an overpass?}" Mikaru ignored him.

"We need help! We can't do this by ourselves!" Makoto was hesitant as she looked at the two. The odd magical ball came floating over as Makoto grabbed it.

"No… But I can." Mikaru perked up as Makoto had open the secret department in the dragoon ball. The twins eyes widen as Makoto had both of their keys. "With these, I can go back to mommy and daddy and not stay here with these misfits!" She shouted.

"Makoto!" Mikaru stared at her cousin in horror.

"NO! My name is Takao! I am not Makoto! Or mini Takao! It is Takao!" She shouted. "And I refused to believe that idiotic and selfish teen is sailor wind!" Came the loud sob.

Those are very precious keys….

Makoto watched from a distance as Mikaru and Hikaru received their keys from their mother.

"In order to travel through time and space, you will need the power of two to achieve this ability. And remember, it is very dangerous to use these keys thoughtlessly."

"Why are we getting them?" Wonder Hikaru. The boy stood tall before their mother as she gentle caress his little head.

"Because Lord Kronos believes you two are ready for your training!" Smiled their mother. They were surrounded by their siblings, who cheered for them while Makoto continued to watch. She had seen them train, and used the keys to create a door. She also train along side with them. If they could use the keys then so can she!

"I'm sorry Gou…" came a quiet murmur. Mikaru and Hikaru's eyes widen. "But I want to go home!" Makoto had combine the keys together as she infuse bit of her own magic within the items. The twins yelled as they bolted forward. There was a jolt of light that shot from the keys. "PLEASE! OH PLEASE! LORD KRONOS! OPEN THE DOOR OF TIME AND SPACE!" The two had came to halt. Their eyes became dull and lifeless as energy began to collected around them. "LET ME GO HOME!" Makoto shouted. The surrounded area soon came to a halt was as the air had stopped and insects were no longer moving. A grand door had flickered before her. Her eyes widen in surprised. "It… work?" Makoto had fail to noticed her cousins. "It actually work!" A smile slowly began to appear as she approached the door. "Mommy!" She was about to turn to knob until chains had suddenly appeared. A sharp gasp escape the girl as the door slowly began to faded. "No wait! I wanna go home! Let me go home!" She went to reach for the knob, but her hand pass right through it. The door had vanish as soon as it came. "NO!" Makoto scream out. "NO! I don't want to stay here any more!" Came the loud sob.

"{Someone has blocked our path…}" Hikaru groaned as he laid on the stairs. Mikaru whined as she pulled herself up.

"Yeah… I think you're right Hikaru…" Mikaru whined as she held herself up. She felted tired and weak at the moment.

"Damn it! Make it work!" Makoto bolted towards Mikaru. The little girl gasp in surprise as she jerked to her feet. "I know you can!" Makoto had tears streaming down her face as she shouted at Mikaru. Mikaru shook her head.

"NO! Let me go!" Came a sob.

"But I wanna go home!" Makoto began to shake Mikaru who sob and pleaded with her cousin to let her go. Hikaru watch in horror. It wasn't until Mikaru's shirt had rip that Makoto had stop. Mikaru sat on the stairs bawling with her front of her shirt torn open. Makoto held the bits of fabric within her hands. Her nails had drug through and torn the fabric.

"{You need to stop! Please!}" Hikaru sob. He was terrified and wasn't sure what to do. "{Please!}"

"Has reality finally settle in?" Came a cold feminine voice. Makoto's eyes widen. "What's wrong? Are you not satisfy with your end results?" The air had an electric charge as Salima stood at the bottom the stair case. The kids all whimpered. "Hello there dragons…" The despite flowed from her lips like liquid. She narrowed her gaze onto them. Her sword seem to spark every few seconds causing the children to huddle closer.

"Oh isn't that typical of you Salima!" Came a new voice. A gasp escape the children as Joseph was at the top of the staircase. "You just had to be the first one here, didn't you." Salima narrowed her gaze.

"Shut it Joseph!" Came a hiss.

"No… " he stated. "Because we need these children in order to go back, and I can not allow you to kill them." He narrowed his gaze onto his cousin.

"Heh… that's cute. I wasn't going to kill them!" Came a purr. The two slowly approached the three. "Torture yes… but not kill." There was a hint of joy in the woman's voice. Joseph only rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, I seen them first!" He declared.

"Ya? But I got here before any of you!" Salima raised her sword up into the air. Just as she was about to bring her weapon down, something came flying at her. She quickly dodge the thing, but her missed a step. The kids and Joseph stared in awe. Salima gasp as she quickly grabbed a hold the railing. Joseph began laughing at the sight.

"Run!" Came a shout. The kids did as they were told. Jospeh eyes widen as he took out his whip. He was able to hit his target, which was a red hawk. Joseph stared down the bird as he slowly approached it.

"You are always in our way!" He growled out. Dranzer narrowed his gaze onto the figure. "Stupid bird…" he walked pass it.

"Hey! Damn it! Help me!" Salima hissed as her boots scrap along the metal. Joseph could only roll his eyes as he helped his dear cousin.

~W~

Takao went in the direction of wind magic. She was surprise the others were unable to sense the traces of it as they went in different directions.

"I'm alone again…" she slowed her jog down to a walk. She jerked her head side to side causing the bones to crack. "All ready Makoto!" She stop moving as she looked around. "Now where-" Takao's eyes widen in surprise. She spotted the girl darting into a hole of a metal fencing that was put up for a construction site. Mikaru and Hikaru were closed behind. Takao couldn't believe it. Why was she the only one who was able to find the kids so easily. She let out a groan of irritation as she snuck her way onto the site.

Takao was able to squeeze behind some material. She was thankful for being small and slender. Then she flinched in annoyances realizing what it meant. That Catherine was always going be the curve one out of the two of them. Then she followed the children to some unused metal gates, where she ducked behind. She began to wonder if she should reveal herself to the kids, but then realize this was prefect opportunity to collect information for herself.

"Bo…" came a whimper. Takao narrowed her gaze as she tried to recall where she heard that name before. "Bo!" It came louder.

"Small Lady?" The was a distorted voice. The sound of snow filled the air to whatever the kids were using as communication device. "Just…. There….some…" Takao narrowed her gaze. "There we go." Takao's eyes widen as she recognize the voice. "What seems be the problem? Huh? Why are you crying?" There was a choke sob. "Mikaru what happen to your shirt?" That seems to of cause more tears. "oh boy, you guys need to be strong no more tears now." The voice was filled with concern and worried.

"Bo…. We are scared." Came a whine.

"{Can't you help us?}" Takao began to wonder how these kids were connected to crazy general. She tried to recall all of what Catherine had said about the man, but she came up blank.

"No…" Came a firm tone. "You need to pull yourselves together." Takao perked up. "Besides, don't you have strong friends on your side?" His tone of voice had change dramatically. He actual cared about these kids.

"What friends?" Makoto bit out. There was a chuckle.

"The sailor guardians and the holy knights." Began the voice. Takao's eyes widen at the piece of information. "They always come through haven't they?"

"Well yeah, but those bad guys are even stronger. They scare me, and they hurt my mommy!" cried the oldest child. "Look at what they did to her!" snapped Makoto. "And even aunty couldn't beat them!" There was a sharp gasp that escape the twins. Then there was. A heavy sigh as the though the craze general was thinking of something comfort to say to the kids.

"Do you also remember the early days of your life?" Makoto's eyes widen. "The Guardians who always looked after you in the future capital. They were alway by your side whenever you need them. Those same guardians are fighting to protect Crystal Tokyo as we speak and even in the world you're in now." Takao's gaze had widen. A city called Crystal Tokyo? "You must trust the Guardians and Sailor Wind. They are sure to give you a helping hand-" Then the communication was cut.

"Bo! Boo!" Makoto cried fill the air as she tried to get the male to answer her call again.

If the Sailor guardians are protecting them… then her parents must be-

"I've got you dragons!" Came a shout. Takao's train of thought was interrupted. She raised her head up to see who was there. Her eyes widen in surprise. "I would have never except you guys to hid here…" came a purr. "Without the protection of the sailor guardians…" There was a sharp gasp. "Or the knights…" Hikaru cuddle closer to his sister. "Hmm… and not a barrier in sight." Mikaru continued to tremble within her spot.

I gotta do something!

Takao slowly crawled away to transform.

I can't allow these guys hurt these children or their families any longer!

Sailor Wind leap up onto the metal beams. She narrowed her gaze onto the figure before her. It was Mariah, the weird priestess, who had attacked the temple a few times. Sailor Wind couldn't remember what were the mysterious woman's powers were.

"Stop right there!" The priestess gasp in surprise.

"Sailor Wind!"

"How dare you pick on those brave young children who came from the future!" She had to tell the others. "Now in the name of the moon, I'll punish you!" Stated the blue hair warrior.Because they had to know… Then she leaped down in front of the children. Makoto gasp in surprise as Mikaru and Hikaru both exchange looks.

"Well… then." A smile slowly crept onto Mariah's smile. "Its a good thing that I am not alone." The sound of clicking boots as the air become charge with energy. Sailor Wind's eyes widen. "Why not meet my cousins?" Four figures appeared from behind Mariah. Sailor Wind did her best to control her reaction cause she knew this would only mean trouble for her.

"Hi… I'm Salima the eldest." A woman with red hair step forward. She seem to carry the most energy within the group. She had two swords stealth to her back. Sailor Wind began to wonder about the woman.

"Yo, I'm Joseph." Grinned the shortest member of the group. His gaze was cold and distance and he had similar features to the tall woman next to him.

"I'm Mariam, is his sister." The dark hair beauty state. The two were both stern in their looks, and they seem to stand back behind the rest of the group.

"Aye, Dunga." Came a chuckle as this muscle of a man came forward. Sailor Wind took a sharp breath as she felt the air around began to tingle. It was another wind user. This was gonna to be a hard fight.

"And You already know me as Mariah the youngest!" smiled the strange priestess. They were bright in colour, something that Sailor Wind wasn't familiar with.

"We are from…

"The tenth planet…

"The moon of darkness

"One furthers from the sun….

"The black moon.

We are called the spectre clan!"

All of them had a very distinctive bruise on their foreheads. Wind tilted her head to the side trying to place why the shape was so familiar to her. It had to mean something.

"Uh… HI!" She grinned as she waved at the group. "Welcome to Tokyo city, the bay district!" She decided to chip in. The other group all exchange looks. Then the redhead step forward.

"Are you trying to be funny?" Came a wonder. "Or are you just buying time for your little friends to show up?!" Sailor Wind gasp in surprise as the woman was suddenly in front of her. Then she felt the familiar cold metal press against her neck. Why was she always being threaten by a sword?! "Because I can just end you." Salima whisper low into her ear. Oh yeah… the crazy ones are always getting up in her personal business. Pushing the sword away from her neck, Sailor Wind looked up at Salima.

"Oh… I would like to see you try." Sailor Wind decided to play cocky.

What the hell am I doing!

Salima tilted her head to the side as she wrapped her arm around the Sailor Wind.

"Heh… You got some balls kid." Sailor Wind narrowed her gaze. She began to calculate how she was going to taken on five people and protect the kids at the same time. She was still recovering from her last battle, so putting up a wind barrier was out of the question. But, she could-

"Hey!" Called a familiar voice. "You can't get the party started without us!" Salima lean back while Sailor Wind took a peek to see who else had joined. Her eyes widen in joy. The groups attentions where drawn towards the entrances of the construction site. "And you are going to leave those kids alone!" It was Soldier lighting, Metal, Sailor Water and Spirit. Her friends and family came!

"Salima!" Sailor Wind perk up as Metal came forward.

"Ah! If it isn't the infamous Soldier Metal!" Salima's voice was a near purr. "I've been waiting for you." Sailor Wind shifted her gaze between the two. "Dear Catherine." Sailor Wind's eyes widen in horror as the Dragon warrior had taken off her white mask.

"You and me both…" Sailor Wind flinched back in surprise as Salima had disappeared before her eyes. The sailor guardians disband as Metal had blocked the attack. It had initial battle. The air had crackle with energy as Fire, water, lighting and energy attacks were shot from every direction. Sailor Wind could only watch as her team defend and rebound attacks.

Projectiles flew through the air followed by an anguish cry of pain followed. Sailor Wind began to tremble as she continue to watch the battle unfold before her.

The earth still need protection….

Why was this happening?

The prince needs to fulfill his role….

There was a scream of terror as Sailor Water was launched into the air.

The city will become a battle zone

Sailor Wind was in awe at the battle before her. She was fighting the urger to go join her friends in battle. She couldn't leave the children unattended. Soldier Metal seems to be busy fighting off the woman name Salima. She knew… she there something more going on, but….

Then came the pain. The searing pain that crept up along her back and exploded all over. She couldn't help the scream that escape her. The kids stare up at her in horror. Sailor Wind had fell forward as she hissed out. Makoto was shaking so much, the kid could barely move.

"Sailor Wind?" Came whimper as Mikaru approached her.

"Play time is over!" Came a deep voice. Sailor Wind's attention was brought over to someone else.

"Who are you!" She shouted.

"Who am I you asked?" A grin had appeared across the man's face. " I am Rubeus Ozuma, one of the generals of the black moon clan." He stated.

"Why are you after them!" She scream out. The pain… why does her damn back hurt so much.

"They're presents here is a causing inflexion to the time lines." He spoke as though it was something that made sense to her.

Time lines?

"I am only here to correct it." Came a chuckle. "They need to die…" Sailor Wind stared in disbelief. They were causing a rip in time.

Catherine's orders…. Those words….

They're is still a danger….

There will be battle that judge the law of nature if the Prince of earth doesn't full fill his role.

Was this the battle? Was it because of these children?

Sailor Wind barely knocked the attack away. She could barely collect enough energy to create a simple wind shield. It burn through her glove and ate away her skin. Her eyes widen.

"Sailor Wind! Please don't die!" Came a loud sob. Sailor Wind looked over her shoulder at Makoto. The little girl was crying as she tried to reach for the warrior. She was still too weak to control the element of the wind and there was too many of them for her to carry them all at once. What was she supposed to do?!

"Die!" Sailor Wind's eyes in horror. A loud explosion had erupted before her.

She couldn't stop it, how could she?

The metal barrier was slowly surrounding her and the children.

It was her job to protected….

The screams of pain had filled her sense. Sailor Wind watched in horror. She couldn't willing herself to move for some reason. It was like it a frozen in place. Then something fell heavy against the barrier followed by another cry of pain.

"No…." Sailor Wind shook her head. "No… NO! CATHERINE!" She began to bang on the wall of the barrier. She watched the armour melt away from dragon warrior. "CATHERINE!" She scream out as she continued to bang against the wall. Hair fell loose as a new black marks had taken place upon her face. "Catherine!" Her cries seem to fall on deaf ears. Her fist soon became bloody from the banging. The only way she knew that the dragon warrior was still alive was the sounds of her scream. Those cries of pain will hunt her. She stared up at her dear cousin.

Her dear loving cousin who only wanted normality…

Metal eyes were lifeless
