Sailor Takao R Chapter 27
In his private chambers, Ozuma was observing the world below from the ship. An alert had pop up on his screen. He narrowed his gaze before bring activating the alert. The screen went black, as he could only make out what appear to be eyes staring at him.
"Wiseman?" Uncertain had filled his tone.
"It seems your theory might be right." Came a croak. Ozuma's gaze had widen in surprise as he disgust the news. "The goddess of the Crystal Tokyo is Sailor Wind." Ozuma sniped his gaze forward.
"But how?"
"The power… of the Silver Millennium Crystal," there was a sharp intake of air. "It grants its owner enteral life." Ozuma shifted his gaze around.
"So… Soldier Metal is?"
"Yes…. If you wish to be victorious, then you must destroy the royal family before they get into power!" Came a hiss. "Do you understand?" Ozuma nodded his head.
"Yes… Master Wiseman… I do." Ozuma grin. Staring back at Ozuma were a pair of eyes along with gleaning teeth. It was odd since no one could tell who the wise man was, but Ozuma had trusted the man. He had lead them to the secrets of the White moon family.
The sound of heels clicking on the floor as Ozuma made his way through the ship. He had walked through one of the mirrors which took him to the medical bay. Most of the spectre clan had came back with very little injuries. Mostly flesh wounds. At least, that's what the medical report had told him. Though, there was one member of their family in the healing pod. He was curious on why.
"Mariam!" He yelled. The dark hair beauty flinch in surprise before shifting her gaze towards Ozuma.
"Yes?" She was busying tending to Dunga, he had a cut on his brow, which needed snitches.
"What is wrong with Salima?" Ozuma narrowed his gaze onto the pod. "She been in the pod for the three days now." Dunga nervously glance up at Mariam who looked thoroughly annoyed.
"She was the only one in the group who had extensive injuries." She stated She purse her lips and blew causing the air surrounding her and Dunga to cool down. The cut on his forehead had freeze over.
"What the fuck does that mean?!" Ozuma growls out. Mariam step back to look over her work.
"It means she will be out of commission for a while." Mariam had to tried to hold back the growl from her tone.
"You think I'm stupid don't you." Mariam went over to the computer and she began to write a new report.
"No." She replied as Ozuma came over.
"Then what is the extent of her injuries!" Mariam took a deep breath as she shift her gaze towards him. He glare at her.
"She had receive several stabs wounds, some deep tissue frost bite, which I am not sure if its all frost bite." She proclaim. "Not to mention a critical loss of blood!"
"Feh…" Ozuma knew all these injuries meant she was going to be out for a while. "Isn't that why she was injected with the dark crystal, so she can withstand these types of wounds?" Mariam let out a puff of air.
"Yes, but the crystal could only recover one injury at a time. She was hit by three elements from my guess."
"Oh! Your guess?!" Ozuma decided to taunt the good doctor. "So you really don't know how damage she is, do you?" Mariam straighten her shoulders.
"Most of her flesh wounds have been healed!" She repeated which caused Ozuma to roll his eyes in annoyances. "But she hasn't awoken up yet. I think the battle was little more traumatizing to her." Ozuma stared at Mariam for a moment before bursting out laughing.
"Heh…. You're kidding me." Mariam narrowed her gaze. "Heh, a little flesh wound has gotten dark Drigger scared?" Ozuma pace around her.
"Sir-"
"DON'T YOU FUCKING SIR ME!" He scream right in her back. Then he grabbed a hold of her and pinned her to the wall. Dunga was about to help but he was forced back down. The blond grunted as he tried to free himself.
"What the hell! Mariam!" Dunga called out.
Ozuma had his hand was wrapped around her neck. He had lifted her into the air. She couldn't fight back. "Now…" He tilted his head as he stared at her. "I know for a fact you don't respect me, so let's drop the titles…" Mariam began to panic. The wall behind her began to freeze over. "I don't know care how you do," he search her gaze. "but I want Salima back at full health." She whimper against his hold. "I need her to kill off the metal dragon.
Understood?
His hand began to turn pale before he let go. Mariam fell to the floor as Dunga was suddenly free. She was gasping for air. "Just remember who runs this ship." He stalk away as the blond rush over to Mariam's side.
"Hey Doc? Are ye okay?" She narrowed her gaze as she pushed him away.
"Leave me alone!" She snapped at him.
"Doc… Ye crying." Her eyes widen as she touched her face. She was surprise by her own tears as she quickly wiped them away. She quickly pushed herself up and went to the computers.
"How is Mariah?" Dunga was confused.
"What? Aye don't-"
"How is Mariah doing!" Mariam shouted. "She came in with minor injuries, but I haven't been able to do a full work on her. Because I am focus on Salima!" Dunga straighten his shoulders as he level his gaze.
"She's fine Doc…. She's been in pray room."
"Good… She will go in Salima's place…" Mariam looked over at Salima's stats. "Go tell her, she has a mission!" Dunga was hesitated but did as told. The red head was physically fine. Her blood supply had been replace day ago, but she had awoken up. Mariam began to wonder what had happen before they had came over. "Please don't make me regretted my decisions." The liquid in the pod had began to drain.
~W~
Ozuma headed back to the main part of the ship where he found Joseph fixing something and not at the computer.
"What is it now?" He hissed.
"The teleportation generator blew a fuses when we came back. We won't be able to return to the ship all willy nilly unless I find a replacement piece." He reported. The young man was couch down in the ship's component.
"Great! Not only can't we get back home, but we won't be able to teleport back to the safety of our ship?!" Joseph paused what he was doing. He looked up at Ozuma looked irritated by him.
"Time jumping is nearly impossible for mortals who aren't granted time crystal!" Joseph narrowed his gaze. "The last jump that I made with Dunga had shattered our last crystal. Now, unless we gain favour with the mighty lord Kronos, we need those children!" Joseph stated. Ozuma narrowed his gaze into a glare. "Sir!" Joseph added in the end bitterly.
"You think I don't know that?!" Came a sneer. Joseph flinched. "Now figure out the issue or I'll get someone else to do it!" Joseph narrowed his gaze as he watched Ozuma disappeared through one of the teleportation mirrors.
"Geeze Master Ozuma is cracky when he loses." Came the soft dainty voice of his cousin. Joseph gasp before hitting his head on the roof of the small entrances way he was in for the ship's main parts.
"Ow! Damn it Mariah! I told you not to sneak up on me!" He growled. Mariah's eyes widen in surprise before she backed away from her younger cousin.
"Hm, who woke up and pissed in your cereal this morning?" She asked softly. Joseph groan before pulling himself up out of the hole. Then he replace the metal panel for the hole while cleaning up the small items.
"It's just Ozuma. He's getting on me and Mariam's back!" After cleaning the grease from the item, Joseph held it up to the light. "Especially Mariam's, he always wants everyone at tip top shape, but we are running low on supplies to make the pods work." Joseph continued to clean the item.
"So what? No more getting hurt?" Mariah wondered.
"For now, but our last battle wasn't so bad. Salima nearly killed the metal dragon and Ozuma got a in a few good hits with that Sailor Wind chick." Mariah perked up at the idea of Sailor Wind being injury. She was still surprise they were called back for a retreated. Joseph disappeared into his workshop where he had many strange and unusual items. She followed him into his strange laboratory. She was always curious how he was able to build such strange machinery and tools. Of course, the side of his workshop there were books and plants. Where he did some of his experiments. Mariah wiggle her nose at one odd looking flower. It was supposed to glow in the dark even though it was dark in colour. She barely understand how he was able to engineer such a thing even though he explain it to her thousand times. It was science stuff, not the religious practice of the darkness she did. "I think he want a crushing defeat of these sailor guardians when he reports back to the prince." Joseph was looking for something.
"Really? But we been away for so long." Mariah stated. She was poking at a jar.
"Yes, but it's time travel." Mariah's eyes widen at the word. Time travel was consider a sin in her religion, but when her family where given time crystals. She knew it was her only chance. She only way to escape. "Our Prince believe that once we were able to master the dark crystal everything will belong to us until the wiseman mention that there was another crystal which holds similar power to our dark crystal." Mariah was very familiar with the dark crystal. It would always laid domain in the temples, which she guarded. Until this strange man in a cloak had came to her and order her to free the gem. It was one of the few reasons why she was order on this mission. She was surprise to see so much of her own family here. It warm her heart to know that her cousins were here with her. "Once we achieve our goals. I am sure the prince will reward us greatly." Joseph finally found the item he was looking for.
"Mariah! Mariah, could you please report to the med bay." Came a voice over the speakers. Joseph smile as he grab a few more items.
"It looks like your needed." Mariah narrowed her gaze in annoyances.
"But I wanna stay!" She whined. Joseph couldn't help the smile that grace his features.
"Come on, you know how Mariam gets when you keep her waiting." Mariah groan in irritation before leaving her younger cousin alone. Dunga had entered the workshop after the Mariah had used the teleporting mirror.
"Where is Mariah?" Dunga asked. Joseph just shrugged his shoulders as he looked up at the tall blond.'
""Med bay, why?" Dunga narrowed his gaze before letting out a low growl. "If you are not busying right now…." Dunga was muttering under his breath about Mariam. It confused Joseph to know that the blond had a crush on his sister. " Dude… if you like her why not just confess?"
"What?" Joseph chuckled. "Nothing, come here and help me." Dunga nodded his head.
~W~
Just as Mariah was about to enter the infirmary, someone grabbed her from behind. She was about to scream when in horror until the person reveal themselves. It was Ozuma. He had pin her against random wall and kissed her hard. The woman let out a whimper, but let out a sigh when kiss ended.
"I need a favour." He stated. Mariah flatter her lashes up at her Master.
"Your wish is my command master." A smile appeared upon his face before he lean in forward to continued. Mariah couldn't help but give into Ozuma's urges.
~W~
Takao tilted her head to the side as she stared up at the sacred shrine. She couldn't figure out why they couldn't start a fire. The group thought that Kai could do it, but no luck. Takao couldn't help, but feel slightly happy for that.
The great Hiwatari couldn't lit a fire.
She sat on the porch watching the structure stand tall before her. Hiro was still busy at the university. The hospital had called and left messages, but Takao couldn't make sense of what they were talking about. She had to wait for her cousin to came by. The knights were hoping for Johnny to get the fire started or at least Catherine was.
"She wants the barrier up." Came a tiny voice. Takao perked up in surprise. Looking over to her side, it was Mikaru, with Dragoon in her arms. "That's why she trying to get Mr. Johnny to do it."
"Hey…" Takao smile nervously at the girl who came rushing over. She cuddle right next to her. "There is no need to worry." Mikaru let out a soft sigh. "There are many of us here that can protect you." Takao smiled brightly at the girl.
"Hey Takao!" The teen and the girl both perked up. It was Ray, the young man came jogging over. "Has Catherine been by yet?" Takao shook her head.
"No… she's still at Johnny with the others." Ray nodded his head before letting a soft curse escape him. He took out his cell phone and began texting a message. "Why, what's wrong?"
"It's Grandpa." Takao's gaze had widen. "It seems he's not recovering like the doctor's had hoped for, and they need someone to go over there to sign some papers."
"What kind of papers? Maybe we can do it?" She wondered.
"No… they said want either Hiro or Catherine, but neither of them are asking their phones." Ray let out an irritated sigh as he sat down. "Man! When did this get so complicated." Takao and Mikaru stared at the dark hair teen before both sharing a look.
"What?" He stared nervously at the two. "Do you have something weird on my face?"
"No…" Takao began. "It's just odd to see you hang out when you're clearly stressed." She began.
"Oh… well…" Ray began.
"Oh Ray-sama!" Came a shout, which scared both Takao and Mikaru. "I've weeded the four trees like you asked!" Lee came running out of the bushes. Ray let out a heavy sigh. "Uh…" Takao stared blankly at the teen. "Oh! Miss Kinomiya!" Lee's face turn bright red. "I didn't realize you were home!" Lee began to fidget nervously. "Uh! Since you are feeling better why not-" Ray looked slightly annoyed.
"Come on Romeo! We have other things to attend too!" Lee whined as he was being pulled away by his cheek. Mikaru and Takao both giggled.
"He's is such a nice boy! I wonder when he will become uncle Lee?" Mikaru spoke.
"I don't know…" Takao let out a sigh soft. "Wait minute! What did you just say?!" Mikaru gasp in fake horror as she took off running with Takao close behind her.
After pulling the teen away, Lee's face return to normal colour. Ray let out a sigh as he let go of the teen.
"Ray-same…." Came a whine. Ray stood off the side. Lee perked up with interested. He couldn't sense the enemy as well as he would like. Something was blocking him, but what was it? "Sensei?" Ray perked up. "This is a shinto shrine right?" Ray nodded his head. Lee reached into his gi and pulled out a notebook. "These symbols down make any sense to me." Ray looked at the note book and his eyes gaze at the symbol. "You don't hail the moon do you?" Ray chuckled nervously.
"Uh… was it upside or down?" Lee blinked in surprise before realizing his mistake.
"Oh! It was down, but that doesn't make any sense." Ray ripped the page out of the note book.
"And upside does?" Ray wondered. Lee smiled.
"Of course it does Ray-sama!" Ray would really wish Lee would stop calling him master. "I know Mister Hiro is researching the old moon legend." Ray perked up. "Coordinate to legend, there was a Goddess name Selena where she place her servant Kinomi, who was the first man to reside on the island of Japan. It's where the name Kinomiya got its originals right?" Ray nodded his hesitant. Boy he didn't realize the Jiji was that well known in Japan. Though if he had to guess, He was probably the first man on the island. Lee smile in joy. "That is awesome! I also noticed one of you spirit seals on the shrine when I was busy cleaning up the trees."
"What! Really?" Lee nodded. "Uh… Thank you Lee…." Lee's smile only brighten up. "Right, so the your lesson is done for the day!" Lee nodded.
"Thank you so much!" Ray walked the teen to the archers. The young man waved at him enthusiastically.
"Oh boy… I wonder if Jiji realizes how famous he really is…. huh?" Ray shifted his gaze. He spotted a young woman walking by with an umbrella. "Hmm… I better let Catherine know about this right away!"
~W~
"So… We are positive the children are from a different time?" Enrique leaned back on the stool as he watched the rest of the group compile information.
"Yes…" Catherine and Tala both confirm. "Even the enemy is causing distortions, but not as bad as the children." Catherine commented.
"And by distortion, you mean your ability to comprehend the situation?" Wondered Robert. Catherine looked a little annoyed by the commented.
"Well… I wouldn't go that far…" She stated with slightly annoyances.
"Even so… How do we analyze the warning given to us by Jiji?" Wondered Tala. Robert and Oliver seem to be thinking while Enrique looked bored. Johnny was busy reading something.
"The Enemy had retreated for now, but how can we be sure they are gone?"
"We can't…" Johnny stated. The group turn towards the darker red head. "We can only except they are going to keep going after those children until they either one of them dies off." Johnny replied. The group looked bother by the idea.
"But… we can't kill those children." Catherine gave Tala an uneasy look. "Can we?" Tala looked really bothered by the idea.
"Couldn't we send them back to their own time?" Wondered Oliver. Enrique let out an irritated sigh.
"My god people! Its so annoying to see you people running around the bigger picture!" Growled the blond. Everyone turn towards Enrique. "These kids were so desperate to escape their own time that they were willing to break the laws of nature in order to do it." The group all exchange looks. "Or someone else was willing to do it for them." Enrique play with a cigarette. "So what does that mean?" The group all exchange uneasy looks.
"That they might be in trouble?" Catherine tried to offered. Enrique narrowed his gaze into a glare.
"No stupid!" Catherine glare at the blond. "That the black moon family doesn't have hold of their them or at least very close to it." Enrique was about to lit his cigarette. "Is having them around really dulling your brain!" He snapped. Catherine growled under her breath.
"Oh shut up!" She growled.
"Can't…. If it wasn't your female emotions. We wouldn't be in this mess." Enrique glare back.
"My emotions!" She was about to hit the blond. "How do my emotions affect the situation?!" She demanded.
"Is it obvious?" Oliver wondered. Catherine turn to glare at French man.
"No! You need to explain it to me in simpler terms!" She snapped. Johnny let out a heavy sigh as he came stagnating over.
"They mean, your relationship with the Prince." Tala's eyes widen in surprise at while Catherine narrowed her gaze.
"My relationship! By the sounds of it! Hikaru was already with you before Tala and I even consider getting together!" she growled. Enrique let out a puff.
"That's actually true… Didn't he arrive like a week after we return to Europe?" Wondered the blond. The group of men began to think about it. "And you didn't think about old prince there for nearly about two months." Catherine narrowed her gaze into a glare before nodding her head. "Well… there goes my theory!" The group fell over in disbelief. "What? I can't think of everything." Catherine narrowed her gaze onto the blond.
"But the only warning that Boris has ever given us, was the treaty of Selene." Tala spoke up. The group looked toward the prince. "And In order to avoid chaos and the destruction of the natural world…." Tala frown his brows together as his mind began to trail off. "What do you guys remember of the Silver millennium?" The guys all looked uncomfortable at each other.
"Nothing, other than the destruction of the white moon kingdom…" Johnny provided.
"And you and the Moon princess were in a relationship right?" Wondered Catherine. Tala looked up at Catherine in worry.
"Please don't tell me, you are going to try that again."
"No… but were you?" Tala let out a heavy sigh.
"I guess so…" He rubbed the back of his head nervously.
"Because if you weren't-"
"Then you were meant to be with Catherine from the very beginning." Johnny supplied. The group looked at dark red head as he approach the pale one. Tala arched brow.
"Oh… Are you taking back the fights we had?" Tala tried to tease.
"No… But… if getting the world order back is for you two getting married…" Johnny shifted his gaze between his ex and her new lover.
"What!" The group stare in awe at Johnny.
"You can't be serious man!"
"McGregor!"
"Dude! Are you really given up on her?" Catherine narrowed her gaze onto the red head.
"Really?… I refuse to believe you'll give up that easily.!" She stated. Tala shifted his gaze towards Catherine.
"Then what!? What would have cause the great Prince of Earth run into battle, if he wasn't in love with the Princess?" Johnny's volume began to raise.
"Maybe the sake of saving the entire universe!" she growled at him. He was taken back by the commented. "Have you ever consider he cares for others as much as himself?" Tears began to pickle at the corner of her eyes. "Because..." Soon her eyes became glaze over. "There was once a pink dragon, who was place in moon army, and fell inward with a warrior."
"Catherine…" Johnny drop his gaze.
"It's true! Then you disappear for thirty years!" She yelled back. Johnny shifted his gaze towards Catherine. "You were gone! And I thought- I had thought…" her skin had turn grey and her features became sharper. "I thought you didn't want me as a mate! That's where I found him!" Catherine shifted her gaze towards Tala. "A lonely human…" Her hair had darken as well. "A man who could control the powers of ice…." Then she looked back at Johnny. "And a creature who breathes fire."
"And a Metal dragon in the middle." Enrique offered up. The trio looked at him. "Maybe you are suppose to bang them both?" Tala and Johnny looked totally turn off while Catherine began to think about it.
"Wait… But how would that work?" Catherine wondered.
"Uh… darling?" Catherine shifted her gaze towards the Frenchman.
"it is possible for a double penetration?" The guys eyes widen at the question. Then Catherine turn bright red as realization hit her. She crouch down to cover her face.
"That's what's you're worried about!" Johnny growled at her. "If our dicks can fit in at the same time!" Catherine continued to shake her head. Tala let out an exasperated sigh.
"As much as that idea could be appealing-" Johnny turn blue in face at the mere idea.
"Ye gotta me kidding me!" Tala frown his brows together.
"Oh get over it! It's not like we been in a threesome situations before this!" He growled out. Johnny was about to protest, but then he snapped his mouth shut.
"What! Really?" Enrique leaned in closer to the dark red head. "How come you never share with your good buddy Enrique?" Came a purr. "Does he have a bigger dick?" Enrique whisper into Johnny's ear. Johnny just glared at the man.
"Now, now, let's not get ahead of ourselves." Oliver offered up. "Since we can't pin point the cause of the effect, we have to deal with the results."
"Oliver is right. These children had brought a war right to our front door." Robert inform. "And once they decided they can trust us." Robert shifted his gaze amongst the man. "We can move on there. Are we clear?" Robert's tone was commanding. Even though Tala would like to bring up another theory, he knew topic was done with.
"Right."
Yeah…
"Nah, we good mate."
"Sure…"
Robert let out a heavy sigh. "Then I official call this meeting over and we should-" All their cell phones went off at once. The guys all exchange looks while Catherine quickly answers hers.
"Hello, Kinomiya Catherine speaking!" She stated. Then her expression had change as Johnny had answer his own and Tala's his.
"What are ye talking about? Aye don't know anything about any old man!"
"What!" She gasp had caught the men's attention. "Yeah! I will be right over!" She hanged up her phone.
"Darling?" Catherine looked very shaken up.
"Something is wrong with Grandpa! That was the hospital!" The group all exchange looks while Tala let out a heavy sigh.
~W~
Catherine sat at Ryuunosuke's bedside holding onto the old man's hand. Tears still lace her eyes as she looked onto her grandfather. In the last 24 hours, Ryuunosuke has gotten paler and seem to be loosing weight rapidly. She couldn't understand what was going on.
"Oi." Catherine's eyes widen in surprise. She turn to see who it was. "Sorry, Aye didn't mean to startle you, but how is he?" Johnny stood at the doorway of the hospital room. Her eyes twinkle with unleash tears before she drop her gaze. "That bad eh?"
"I don't understand what is going on? I know battle wounds takes a toll on the body, but this is something else. I thought a simple patch up job would have work, but seems have gone in over drive." Catherine shift her gaze back to her grandfather. "It's like something else is speeding the processes." Johnny's eyes widen in realization. He narrowed his gaze onto Catherine wondering.
"Uh… cat-"
"Hey, I need to signature." Hiro came into the room. Johnny took a step back. Catherine perked up. It seem her cousin was also called in as well. This was concerning to the red head.
"Uh, sure, whatever you need." Catherine stood up. Hiro shook his head.
"Not from you." Johnny and Catherine both look surprised as Hiro had handed the clip board towards Johnny.
"Me? Aye am not even family yet." Johnny looked very uncomfortable at the moment.
"No, but you know how to get into contract with the Starlight-"
"NO!" Catherine quickly stated.
"But Catherine!"
"I don't want him involve!" Catherine stated with a growl.
"Catherine… you and I are not in charge of grandpa's health!" Hiro narrowed his gaze. Catherine return the glare. "Catherine! Be reasonable! We have done everything we can!" The two were at a stand off glaring. Then Hiro let out a frustrated growl before throwing his hands up. "You are going to causing much more damage to this family!" He stated. Catherine's eyes widen before she drop gaze. That one hit a cord and Hiro decided to keep nailing in with the hammer. "Do you think he wants to live like this!" Hiro nearly yelled at her. "He's become a weak and cripple man!" Catherine began to tremble as she wrapped her arms around herself. Johnny narrowed his gaze onto two. "Catherine!"
"NO! But-"
"Ahem!" The two cousins and Johnny perked up. Johnny's eyes widen in surprised. Sweat appeared upon his body as he stared at the figure at the doorway. "Maybe I can be of some service." State an older man. Catherine looked at the strange man, in the odd dark military uniform in confusion while Hiro looked relief.
"Oh finally!" Hiro allowed the stranger inside who took a look at the clipboard before signing. The man was clearly Japanese with his dark hair and eyes, but his statue said something else. Then he walked over to Ryuunosuke and looked over the old man.
"He's detecting much faster than except." Spoke the man. Hiro nodded.
"Yes!"
"Well… I assume everyone had said their goodbyes?" Wondered the man. Catherine's eyes widen.
"Who the hell do you think you are! Deciding something that clearly doesn't involve you!" She growled at this stranger.
"Uh… Catherine." Johnny tried to calm her. She sent a glare towards the red head, who was acting strangely nervous.
"No Johnny!" She jerked her arm free. "I won't allow this!" She shifted her gaze back to the stranger. "You better leave this room before I call security!" She stated. The man just smiled as he looked down at her.
"You haven't told her?" The man shifted his gaze towards Johnny and Hiro, who avoid the man's gaze, while Hiro looked annoyed.
"We been kind of busy." Johnny murmured with a guilty tone.
"And I do have my university assignments I need to work on!" Hiro narrowed his gaze.
"What is going on!" Catherine was annoyed at being kept out of the loop. All three of them looked either uncomfortable, satisfy, or clearly annoyed. "You guys!" Catherine looks sat all three. "Johnny?" Came a plead. The older man let out a heavy sigh.
"Hm… You are so emotional." He stated with sigh. Then he narrowed his gaze onto Catherine, who refused be scared off by a simply look. She couldn't explain it, but she felt challenge by this stranger. She had straighten her posture while she kept her gaze narrowed.
"I may be emotional! But I at least I have them!" The older man's eyes widen before something that looked appreciation appeared on his face. Catherine arch a brow.
"Now that's more like it." He spoke a with a smile appeared upon his face.
"Oh Micheal! Have you done introductions without me!" Came a dramatic sigh. Johnny gasp in surprise as another tall male entered into the room. This one was dressed in a designer suit with his silver hair pulled back into a low pony tail. Hiro looked very happy to see this one while Catherine arch a brow towards the man. He looked as strange as the first one. "I thought we could do it together as a family!" Came the fake tears.
"No." Came the simple answer, which had cause the other to brighten up.
"Oh! That is great! Akido will be joining us shortly then!" Smiled the stranger. Catherine was confused before what looked a blond Buddhist monk had join the trio.
"Sorry I am late! But there was this very cute nurse!" Smiled the monk. Catherine's brow twitched. The silver hair one waved his hand.
"No worries! Now allow me to introduce myself. I am Starlight Edward!" Smiled the charming one. "This." He suggester to the one in the military uniform. "Is Starlight Micheal." Micheal just nod. "And here is Akido Starlight!" The blond waved enthusisms. "We are your brothers." Edward stated. Catherine stared in awe at all three men before her.
"Are you kidding me?" Catherine did not look amuse. Johnny nudge her with his elbow.
"No, and brigadier Starlight is my boss." Johnny whisper quietly to her. Catherine arch a brow towards Johnny before shifting her gaze back to Edward, who simply smiled.
"I am sure you have a lot of questions my dear, but at the moment, it seems we have dear Grandfather to deal with at the moment." Edward quickly shifted the issue. Catherine gasp in surprise before turning her attention back to Ryuunosuke.
"Grandpa!" She went to old man's side immediately while Micheal continued on handling all the paperwork. Edward watch with interested.

Back at the Kinomiya grounds, Oliver had answer the phone since Takao was too emotional to be taking calls. Ray was busy helping Tala with removing the charm.
"{Hello! This is the Kinomya's residents.}" He said cheerily into the phone. The children were busy playing with Manabu and Maxine. To Oliver's surprise, the person had replied back in French. "{Uh! Yes! They are currently in the courtyard. Yes, I will inform them and get dinner ready!}" Oliver hang up the phone.
"Who was that?" Oliver jumped in surprise before turning around to see Takao creeping around the corner.
"Uh… That was… family!" Oliver simply stated. "{Pardon, but my Japanese isn't that great!}" Oliver replied. Takao nodded. Oliver quickly disappeared into the kitchen while Takao stared at the phone.
"So who was it?" Manabu asked while Takao shrugged her shoulders. She had decided to go join the others who was waiting outside. Makoto and Hikaru were laughing at Tala who kept slipping and was clinging onto the tiny building for dear life. Ray was standing at the charm waiting for the red head to join him.
"Family…" Manabu looked confused.
"isn't that nice!" Maxine smiled as she continued to brush Mikaru's hair. "To have some family calling!"
"Yes, but they were able to talk to Oliver in his own language." Takao supplied. Manabu's narrowed her gaze.
"Well, your family is well known to speak many different languages." Maxine added in casually as she finish putting Mikaru's hair into pigtails. Then she took off to join the others. Maxine turn to the other girls who continued to give her a look. "What? Its true! When I started school at Bay junior high, they told me to get hold of Kinomiya Takao. I was curious on why, but Hiro had show up and did translations for us." Takao was surprise to hear this while Manabu only shook her head.
"We do the same thing at my school except Ray, isn't as good as Hiro or Catherine." The trio of girls looked towards Ray who decided to help Tala, but pulling the man onto the roof. There was a slightly squeak that escape the said man causing Makoto to burst out in giggles and teasing remark. Hikaru made a comment which the girls didn't understand, but Takao turn pink.
"What did he say?" Maxine wondered. Takao shook her head. "Takao!" Maxine began to whine.
"Let's just say that having the power to understand different languages isn't always great, and that boy has been spending too much time with those guys." Takao stated. Maxine stuck out her bottom lip while Manabu seem to understand.
The sound of a vehicle parking had caught Takao's attention. All three children came running over. Ray shot Takao a look who just shrugged before walking towards the sound.
"Someone's here!" Came a joyful reply. Running towards the archers, The group had spotted a fancy car.
"That's a car I am not familiar with." Manabu spoke up.
"It's really shiny!" Maxine smiled. A strange man came out, and perked up when he spotted the group. Takao's eyes widen as she looked at the man. He had long silver hair and kindness eyes she had ever seen on anyone. He slowly approached the group.
"Why hello there, my princess." Came a purred. He took a hold of her hand and gave it a kiss.
The girls had hanged outside the kitchen while it seem Takao's older cousins had came back. Oliver was busy serving them. All three of them stood in the kitchen making random comments.
"So, they are Catherine's older brothers?" Maxine continued to peek on them. Takao nodded her head. "They kinda look strange…" Maxine's eyes landed on the dark hair one. "though military one looks scary." Maxine commented causing Takao to giggle.
"Grandpa was in the military." Maxine's gaze widen in disbelief.
Makoto narrowed her gaze while Mikaru and Hikaru stayed back.
"This is not good… There is more of them." Makoto bit her lower lip in frustration.
"They also hold bit of moon magic within them." Mikaru added. Makoto stared at her cousin in awe while Hikaru only smiled.
"(Their family!)" he stated. The two girls looked at the boy in confusion before sighing.
"We still don't understand you." They shook their heads.

Outside, Tala had finally grasp hold of the charm. It seem to be a regular piece of paper to him, but Ray seems to scared the piece of paper.
"All right, now what?" Ray scratched his cheek nervously.
"Now we need to preform a cleanse ceremonial." Catherine came over with Johnny.
"I can do one." She volunteer. Ray looked over at her with a nervous look.
"Are you sure? Grandpa said its hard on the body." Ray had leaped down to face his cousin.
"Please, do you honest think that little of me?" She wondered. Ray chuckled nervously. "We need to get the barrier up at any cost." Catherine narrowed her gaze towards the house. There was a yelp of pain that caught their attention. Tala had laid on ground in a pile of limps.
"Hey! Don't worry about me!" He groaned in pain. Catherine came over and helped him up. "Thanks." He shot her a smile. She nodded before narrowing her gaze onto the paper charm.
"Is that?" Tala perked up.
"Yeah, coordinated to Ray, this was the thing that was stopping the barrier from occurring." Catherine took the charm from Tala while Ray and Johnny gasp in horror.
"This symbol looks familiar… eh! What's with that look!" Ray continued to grin nervously while Johnny looked uncomfortable.
"Nothing… Uh, how is grandpa doing?" Catherine's expression had drop. Tala's eyes widen in surprised.
"Not good…" she commented. "My brother is here to do some legal stuff since Grandpa has been in the hospital for awhile." Ray's expression had drop too.
"Yeah…" The sad look was soon replace with a look of determination.
"Look, we don't have time to worry about him. We need to get this barrier up. I'll go get ready." Catherine headed to main house. Ray only shook his head.
"Geeze, doesn't that woman ever relax?" He wondered.
"Heh… ye think this is bad, ye should have seen her during high school." Johnny let out a sigh. Ray turn to face the red head. Tala perked up. "One of the professors had to force her to take time off for to relax, which didn't help." The two looked up at him. "I'll get some wood." Tala and Ray shared a look before shrugging. Tala had picked up the drop charm and pocket it without anyone noticing.
~W~
Catherine had entered into sacred temple wearing pure white kimono. Johnny had just finish setting the wood up, when the two had ran into each other.
"Uh… Sorry." Catherine drop her gaze while Johnny looked down at her. "Look, you better leave, since this is going hot in here." Johnny tilt his head to the side.
"Hot ye say?" He grinned before snapping his fingers. There was a spark before small flame appeared at the tip of his thumb. "Please, hot is my middle name!" He wore a cheese grin. Catherine crossed her arms before raising a brow.
"I thought it was Ronald." She stated. Johnny turn pink at realization she was right. He clear his throat before going over to the fire pit.
"Anyway, intense heats don't bother me." He was able to light some scrap paper before tossing into the pile of wood. It took a moment before smoke began to fill the place. Then suddenly the place went dark. Johnny's eyes widen in surprise. He couldn't see a thing in front of him.
"Sorry, but I need to start preforming the ritual." He could hear her foot steps as he tried to feel around.
"Okay, but where is-eh?" There was a gasp of surprise before Johnny realize what he had grabbed.
"Uh! Aye sorry!" Johnny quickly retracted his hand.
"Erm… it's fine. But you could-" Johnny perked up as he felt Catherine's fingers hover right over his arm. Then they drifted over to his stomach before they rested. Her palms were pressed up against him. Even though he couldn't see, he could definitely feel. Her fingers curl around his shirt which had caused it to rise up. He began to wonder what she was doing. Her fingers began to creep up along his bare stomach. Her touch was gentle and hesitated.
"Catherine?" He spoke softly. There was a gasp of surprise before her touch was gone. "What is you want?" He could hear the nervously gulp.
"I-I…" Her voice was still filled with anguish, and it pain him to hear it. "At the moment," she took a hesitated breath. "I… just want to feel you." Johnny perked up as he wonder if he misheard.
"Eh? Come again?" A heavy sigh escape her.
"It's been so long that even though I need to get this ceremony done. I still…" Johnny couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Uh… what about." Johnny scratch his cheek nervously.
"He's worried about us…" She commented. Even though after the battle she had went to Johnny for comfortable. It seem to have bother the other red head. Catherine wasn't sure what do to about it. "Maybe he feels uncomfortable because…" Johnny nodded. "Look… I understand if you don't-" Catherine's eyes widen in surprise as she felt Johnny press his lips against hers. Then her gaze had soften as her eyes began to close. A soft sigh had escaped and it did wonders to his limbo. He broke the kiss with a sharp gasp while a whined left hers. He took a hold of her shoulders pushed her away because at the moment he didn't trust himself.
"This is just sex?" He wondered softly. There was a soft pant that escaped her while she nodded. "Well?" It suddenly occurred to her, that he couldn't see her.
"Oh! yes!" She squeaked out. She heard him gulp as he leaned in close. His warm breath tickle her senses as he hover over her neck.
"Because if I continued, I don't think I can separated making love and sex." She perked up. She was about to say something, but he cut her off with another kiss. This one with a little more harsher than the first one. He took a nip at her bottom lip causing her to gasp out. He had took the opportunity to push his tongue in and probe her mouth. It was intense as she found herself clinging onto him. When they broke apart, he began to laid soft kissed along her jaw to her neck, which caused her to gasp out followed with a whimpered.
She wasn't sure how they ended on the floor, but there they were. She laid sprawl out on the wooden floor with Johnny hovering right above her. The fire began to spark to life, it was like it was tied to his emotions. It was soft amber at the moment, but it had created enough light for them to see each other. He stared down nervously at her while she mind began to get lost in pleasure.
~W~
Takao perked up as she looked over at the sacred shrine. Her ears twitch ever so slightly. Ray came over with more wood.
"Do you think she's gonna need more wood?" Takao flinched in surprise while her face had deepen in colour. Ray stared at his sister. "Hey, are you all right?" She quickly turn away from him.
"Uh! Yeah! Don't you have training or something!" She spoke rather harshly. Ray arched a brow as Takao continued to squirm within her spot. She would give the shrine a look before her face had deepen in colour.
"You wouldn't happen to know what is going on in there do you?" Ray asked with a rather bored tone. Takao gasp in surprised before shaking her head.
"No! I have no idea!" She shouted. She step up from her spot.
"Hey!" Manabu stood at the door way. "Mr. Starlight is heading back to the hospital. He thinks its best if you guys go with him." Takaos' eyes widen while Ray drop his gaze.
"You go Takao. I'll stay and watch the place okay?" Takao nodded as she quickly stood up.
"Ray, I think you should go too." Manabu added. Ray's eyes widen. "if not for yourself then for Takao." Ray gulp nervously before nodding. He was slow with his movements as he followed after. They met up with Hiro and Maxine at the archers before disappearing down the stairs. Manabu's brows were frown together in concern. She grind her teeth together as she clenched her hand.
"Why… why do bad things happen to such good people?" She wondered aloud. Makoto watched the brunette in awe while Mikaru and Hikaru were busy with Oliver.
Then Manabu was about to go inside there was a prickling of cold hitting the back of her neck. Her eyes widen in horror.
"No… Crap! Oliver!" She dash inside. The young man looked up at her in surprise. She bit her lower lip as she looked down at the children who stared at her with quizzical looks. Oliver's eyes widen in surprise before they took on their usual softness.
"{I understand, I will keep an eye on them.} Makoto!" He called the other girl. Makoto narrowed her gaze as she walked over. "Come! Lets make rice balls!" He smiled. Makoto arch a suspicious brow while Mikaru cheered happily. Manabu bolted out of the kitchen and began searching for Tala.
~W~
Mariah narrowed her gaze as she watched the car leave. She had hope her spell on the old man will hold up. She could sense the huge power of moon magic leaving with the car. She knew it was her time to attack and get the kids. She quickly climb the stairs.
~W~
"Where did that stupid Takao went!" Makoto demanded. Oliver stared at the child in confusion while Mikaru narrowed her gaze.
"Stop calling her that!" She shouted. Makoto's eyes widen before they took their usual sharp edge.
"What?"
"She is not stupid! She is easily distracted because she is having a hard time controlling her magic!" Mikaru snapped. Makoto tremble as her younger cousin continued to chew her out. "These people have done nothing but been nice to us! Your behaviour is no longer acceptable! Takao!" Makoto's eyes widen in surprise. There was an odd glow surrounding her cousin. "You need-" Makoto quickly bolted from the room.
"Makoto!" Oliver called out. Hikaru stared in awe at his sister.
Makoto ran outside. Tears stream down her face as she shook her head. "No! NO!" She shouted. "It can't be!"
"What can't be?" Came a soft voice. Makoto gasp in surprised. Her eyes widen in horror when she recognize the woman before her. "Hmm? What is wrong little dragon?" Came a sadistic smile. "Miss your mommy?" Makoto let out a scream of terror.
When Oliver darted outside, he spotted Makoto being held captive by one of the dark moon people. He narrowed his gaze.
"{Children! Go find Manabu!}" Mikaru gasp in horror when she came into view while Hikaru narrowed his gaze. "{Now!}" Oliver yelled. Mikaru was frozen in fear as she stood tremble before the adult. Hikaru grabbed a hold of his sister and began to drag her away.
"NO! We have to help her!" Mikaru struggle against her brother.
"{We are!}" he hissed. Oliver took a step towards the priestess.
"Oh? What do we have here? A handsome stranger?" She purred. Oliver recognize one word, which caused him to chuckle.
"{I only serve to please.}" he took a bow. Mariah arch a brow in suspicious. "{Now! Unicolyon Power!}" came a shout. Mariah's eyes widen as the handsome stranger had change before her. His clothes were soon covered by odd coloured armour. "{On guard milady! If you know what's good for you!}" Mariah narrowed her gaze.
"I have no idea what you're talking about! But I am not letting this child go! So Ha!" Mariah unleash a fire attack. Unicolyon was able to dodge the first attack before he darted towards her with his rapier. She gasp in horror as she used her speed to dodge his swipes.
She narrowed her gaze before leaping away from his attacks. She landed on branch. She grind her teeth as she narrowed her gaze onto her opponent. Then she looked at the unconscious child. She had to. She set the child down before leaping up into the air and unleashing her dark fire. She had to get that child back at any cost. She took out her staff when she landed. Unicolyon shifted on his feet on easily as he looked at his enemy.
"Please goddess of darkness!" She became praying. "Give me the strength to defeat this enemy!"
~W~
There was a gasp of pleasure that escape Catherine. Johnny grunt before he slow his pace. The fire was roaring beside them, but Catherine seem to be lost in a daze.
"Cat?" He gentle jerk the young woman forward so he could look into her face.. Then she had stiffen within his grasp which had caused him to flinch back in surprise. Then with surprising strength she had shoved him onto his back. He grunt in pain. He was about to shout up until he was sheath in that familiar warm heat. "Cat." He grunt out as she slowly moved her hips. He stared up at her in concern as she appeared to be lost in thought. He was about to move her until she snapped her hips into place.
"Don't…" came her voice. He blinked in surprised up at her.
"Hm! Aye just want to make sure, aye haven't sent yer to heaven yet darling." He purred. She narrowed her gaze as she continued on with her slow thrusts. It was concerning.
~W~
Mariah growled under her breath as she was able to blast the blue knight away before blocking an attack from pink knight. It annoyed her that sailor girl seem to be telling the knights where her weakness were. She was still annoyed that she couldn't call upon her goddess. She was stuck using her own magic.
~W~
Jiji smiled as he stood before Catherine who looked around in confusion. "I am glad to see you taking the helm." Catherine turn around in surprise as she narrowed her gaze onto the old dragon.
"Where am I?" She found herself to be some sort of void. There seem to be nothing but trees surrounding her, or so she thought there were trees rustling in the wind.
"To put it simply, You are in the spiritual realm." Jiji replied. Catherine continued to look around.
"It's quiet for now because I am still in control." Catherine perked up. "But it seems whatever moon magic I have left is disappearing." Catherine's eyes widen.
"The barrier?" Jiji only smiled saddly.
"Yees…"
"But I am working on it." Jiji perked up before shooting Catherine a look.
"Are you now?" The surrounding had change to back to the shrine, where she and Johnny were in a fits of passion. Catherine's cheeks turn bright red while jiji continued to grin.
"Now, normally I would have a trouble with this sort of thing since this is supposed to be a cleansing temple." Catherine shifted her gaze away from Jiji while her pants along with Johnny's grunts had filled her mind. "But consider the lad is lending his power as well, I think I can make exceptation." Catherine perked up to that piece of news. "The new barrier will be stronger and more powerful than the last one." Catherine's gaze widen in disbelief.
"That's great!" But then she narrowed her gaze onto the youthful figure before her. "But what is the cost?" Jiji turn to face her. She narrowed her gaze onto him while he wore his cocky grin.
"That you and him are the power source." Catherine arch a brow.
"Is that it?" Jiji nodded.
"Yes, that is it." Catherine looked relief.
"Great! Then-" There was a tremor that had shook the shrine enough that she could feel in the spiritual realm.
"It looks like things are getting lively out there, are you ready for the responsibility of this barrier?" Catherine snapped her attention to Jiji.
"Yes! As captain of the Shikyo, and bodyguard of the moon princess. I take full responsibility of the barrier." He nodded his head in understanding. Then he took a step forward. Then she flinched back in surprise. She hesitanted as he wrapped his arms around her. A pink blush appeared upon her cheeks. "Jiji!"
"Shh… allow me to enjoy this one moment." They soon floated back down to realm of humans. Catherine let out a sharp gasp as she felt herself reached her peak. It took her moment to realize that Johnny was still going. When she open her eyes, all she could see was Jiji. A sharp gasp of surprise escape her as her cheeks turn red.
"What's wrong darling?" Came the distorted voice. She didn't know what to do as she watched Jiji's face fade away into Johnny's. "Cat?" Came his voice. Catherine panted as she took her in surroundings.
"John.. I-" a loud explosion had interrupted her. Johnny narrowed his gaze into a glare while Catherine looked startled.
"It looks like our earth shattering sex wasn't one causing the tremors." Catherine turn pink at the comment. "Come on love." Johnny quickly stood up. He went looking around for his clothes. Jiji's image kept flickering in and out of focus. "Cat?" Catherine quickly snapped out of it. "Right!" In a flash the two had transform into their soldier form.

Outside in the court yard, Mariah was pin down by all three warriors. She narrowed her gaze as she looked at her staff.
"My goddess!" She looked desperately at the wand. She clenched tightly onto the item. Then she felt it. It was a weak pulse, but she could her goddess's power flowing through her. She didn't understand, but with new power she knew she could defeat these sailor guardian. Until…
"What is the meaning of this!" Mariah's gaze had snapped towards the feminine voice that broke through the chaos. "This is a sacred temple! Place where people come for comfort and advise!" Came a growl.
"Heh… comfort…" Came a hiss. Metal's cheeks turn slightly pink at the comment while a snicker had filled the air. Mariah narrowed her gaze onto her new opponents. She recognize them from before, but seeing them up close. It couldn't be. They were thousand years into the pass.
"How dare you-"
"I surrender!" Mariah bow down. Metal blinked in surprise as she stared at the priestess.
"Well.. that was easier than Aye thought it would be." Spoke salamlyon. Ice only rolled his eyes as he and Unicolyon kept their weapons on Mariah.
"Then tell me why should I believe you?" Wondered Metal as she slowly approached the other woman. Mariah gulp nervously as she slowly raised her gaze.
"Because what the old man said was right! Once I placed the dark curse on him, my goddess will appeared before me." Metal was thrown for a loop. "I am a servant of temple for Goddess of death. My loyalty is to the goddess." Mariah spoke up.
"And tell us who is your goddess!" Sailor Spirit hissed.
"That one!" Mariah pointed with a delicate finger.
