DIRE THREATS:
(A new enemy shows their face)
A impressive jubilation was taking place, the wedding of Princess Lady Serenity and her fiance of half a year, Helios. All of Japan was on a working holiday with their eyes glued to their television screens. Watching the riotous marriage with exuberant decorations from around the known kingdom. As guests from throughout the galaxies sat in the pews, while friends from far and wide were among the crowd. Family could be found sitting in the front row and among the wedding party of bride or groom. Bride's maiden wore ivory white colors dresses with individual flora bouquets wrapped in ribbons. Their escorts where suits with colored cummerbunds and bow ties with gemstone lepal pins. Alter where the bride and groom stood while they went through the saying of the vows. Waiting got the moment the rings were exchanged followed by a kiss and announcement of them officially married. Brought a great joy the people of kingdom in each one of their households or a place a person could watch TV. Ended up celebrating this day as a form of honoring the change within the royal family.
Going unaware of colorful caravan of vehicles driving down the back streets of the capital in complete uniformed order. Led car held the logo of a grinning white faced clown mask tied up with a mermaid's scale with the words 'Mystic Fete'. Slapped on the driver's side and passenger side of the door with no view of who was behind the wheel just driving. Other cars and a few trucks that were following six feet from each other were unmarked and also had tinted windows. Moving at a moderate pace around street corners and down alleyways until they came to a large clearing. Way the cars parked on the outskirts of the this vast clear after led car came to a complete stop seem just plain eerie. Only person that left their vehicle was marked man in a penstriked suit and wearing an fadora around 6 feet.
"Aren't we lucky to find a prime land," A robot- like voice came from behind his mask. "Let's set up."
The bigger trucks ended up starting up their engines to drive on to the massive clearing in a strange arrangement. A good distanced was kept between these large trucks once they stopped in a place to start unloading from people. Few were usual rides one could find that started to take shape when parts were attached and mounting braces on the ground. Others were attractions that one wouldn't find in a traveling Carnival such as a whale sized Aquarium and odd freak show. That were found inner area starting to take place where the walk a way toward game stalls were forming. Almost facing opposite each other with tents and signs were being set up by people manning what ever these were.
One with the whale size Aquarium only had one man surrounded by women dressed in layers of clothing. Each one had lengthy hair pulled into a ponytail or some kind of messy bun. Not a inch of skin was shown when they worked at a steady pace. Outdoor Storage tank with fancy tent and staircase attach to a platform for anyone to get a better view. Their eyes were going to look up was an actually mermaids swimming around in the water once everything was done. Left the other large feature across the way to look like it was coming along with sign saying it was a freak show. Just contains inside weren't the most traditional oddities one would find on Earth that usual tickled people's fancy.
"Mr. X!" A women dressed in a frilly attire asked the masked man. "We do have all the right permits?"
"Miss. Lockwood!" He called to a women behind him.
She had a exposed keyhole around a medium sized in the center of her chest with chains branching off from four corners. Then become embedded in her vital areas of her chest in a opened front leotard type outfit with one toed stockings. Her outer edge of herears, individual spaces of her fingers and toes had clear surgical scars about anyone could see. No taller then five feet about 4 and an half inches when she stood by this Mr. X with a holopad within her arms. Visually showing the last of the permits they needed had just been approved and sent to them a few seconds ago.
"Well Miss. Frigoris, what does this tell you?" Mr. X asked her with snicker in his voice.
"Alright Lockwood! Go Make the Announcement!" Miss. Frigoris sighed and addressed her.
Lockwood would spin in place on one of her feet with the holopad being handed over to Miss. Frigoris before she ran off. Her strands of Electric Blue hair flowing behind her as she ran around telling people that they could open to the public.
"Where are we going to get fliers printed out for this?" Miss. Frigoris asked Mr. X in a worried state.
"Already have that solved." He winked at her.
He ended up flipping the holopad with his gloves hands to tap at the screen and pull up a deal he made with underground agency. They had already started a internet campaign for Mystic Fete with pictures of the performers and attractions visual. Each image was full of color with slight black-n-white edging around the face with name of whoever was seen.
"Fliers were given to noted business around the area and hung up in some windows," He went onto tell her. "Anything else you need to ask about?"
"You made sure the Wavirens were all in check?" She looked toward the tank.
"Girls?" Mr. X toward ground entering the back of the tent. "Are all of you present?"
He got a sing- song answer from them all on a A2 note and a thumbs up from the only male that had Miss. Frigoris relieved. Just when her and Mr. X ended up walking toward the back end of the grounds where vehicles in form of trailers were parked. One of the girls would walk a way from the crowd with excuse she needed to stretch her legs. She was going out pass their curfew to explore this new city without a care of a warning from others telling her to not. Waving to everyone as she picked up her pace wondering what couples she could find to properly feed from as she licked her lips.

Mina stared at the colorful flier through the glass of Opal Moon's entrance as her friends passed her to seat at their usual table. Mako was the only one that stopped in place to ask her what she was up too since she hadn't moved a step. To the flier Mina would draw her attention before Andor stepped out and asked them what was wrong this time around.
"Mystic Fete?" Mina asked. "What is this?"
"I think its some kind of traveling carnival." Mako guessed.
"You could say that since we got a few free passes to attending opening night," Andor answered them. "We have so many throu, we don't know to do with them."
"How many?" Mina asked with an idea.
"Enough to make a whole pack," Andor sighed. "Some local business gave us theirs while got some free in the mail with the flier."
"We're going." Mina looked at Mako.
Andor ended up allowing Mina inside towing Mako right behind her as she made her way toward front desk where Jewel was. She stopped and asked Jewel about their plans to attend this carnival with stars in her eyes as she waited an answer. Jewel kindly informed Mina and Mako that she planned on bringing them along with her sons to this carnival. The extra passes she was currently giving out as a prizes to customers to their cafe while a few people from her book club.
"I have to go home and figure out what I am going to wear," Mina let go of Mako's hand. "I need to go home!"
"Don't you want to have something before you hurry home?" Mako asked as she noticed the menu.
"Tell Dann I'll call him. Later!" Mina was already figuring out what to wear.
She then turned on her heel and was out the door before Dann approached them to bring them to their usual seat. Left him to only face Mako with the new menu that Angel recently worked on as soon as they got back from the Palace. Which had Mako already thumbing through the pages and reading the most interesting dishes and/ or drinks. The pictures that were included left her to think on what she wanted while she was shown to the table everyone else occupied. Just ended up finding her brother and everyone's else brother sitting with them already enjoying drinks.
"Did I miss something?" She asked looking around.
"Just a personal promise we're keeping." Hiddenite sipped from his drink.
"Something along the lines of getting closer to our baby sisters." Saualpite handed Aegirine his spoonful from his parfait.
"No, none of our fathers are behind this." Actinolite assured them.
"Can I get a refill?" Tremolite asked Dann.
Mako would whisper what she wanted to Dann while he took Tremolite's empty glass to get him another Green Apple Cream soda. Informing him how he would be back after putting in Mako's order and off he would walk with roll to his eyes. Leaving them alone for Saualpite to place a flier advertising Mystic Fete on the table when Aegirine started eating by himself. He crossed his legs and looked to the girls for answers on this newest attraction came to Japan.
"Don't you guys have friends to find this out?" Mako asked rather bluntly.
"I am not being spy for you." Reika stared at her brother and nephew.
"Really? We find something to enjoy and your over protective butts are going to ruin it." Amelie was stared at her brother.
Point was further made by Aegirine tapping his spoon at the edge of the table and saying grandpa was a smothering blanket. Ranting on about what to go on the run rides and even play some games to win a over sized stuffed animal. Had him dropping his spoon on the table before his father's half eaten parfait and crawl out of his lap toward Amelie. Where he was was welcomed between Reika and her with his mouth getting wiped cleaned by his aunt Reika.
"You want to come with us?" Reika asked Aegirine.
"YES!" She cheered.
Before they could carry on about when they were going to leave with him and how they were going to get there with Saualpite. Dann returned with Mako's order and refill for Tremolite with a little treat for Aegirine from Angel for free. Came in the form of a handless mug with a iced over cap that could be broken with the spoon Saualpite was left with. What he found inside was a more creaming then smooth mixture of blackberry, Apricot, and Cinnamon. Into that Aegirine dug his spoon to hit a chuck of white chocolate brownie when he pulled his spoon back.
"Little guy has the full range of naming this new dish." Dann informed him.
"Already a star?" Mako opened her school bag.
Aegirine was allowed to eat the read of his sweet treat while a colored pen beside a piece of paper was placed before him. Reika played a word game with Aegirine about what was going through his head with each spoonful he took. Amelie was the one that pulled out her phone to take pictures of everything then pay attention to her brother.
"We are turning into our fathers." Hiddenite noticed stunt Saualpite pulled.
"I don't need to be reminded." Tremolite sipped his drink.
"We should try to actual agree with them on this." Actinolite watched his sister.
"So?" Dann asked from he stood.
He ended up folding his arms with Saualpite staring at him with wonder about if he been staring there the whole time. Just listening to what they were doing and saying instead of walking a way and handling other customers that came in. Dann ended up asking Hiddenite about his sister turning on her heel to returned home after hearing about the carnival. Mako backed that up with her version of the story about Mina seeing the flier and deciding to go with right outfit. Was all that was needed for Hiddenite to excuse himself from their table and leave his meal half way eaten. Needing to borrow the yellow-green pay phone Dann pointed out was near the bathroom before watching Hiddenite walk off.
"Tell me again what Ammar sees in him?" Reika and Saualpite asked Dann.
"I was going to tell you the same thing," Dann sighed. "They been inseparable for some time."
"Like?" Amelie leaned forward.
"Mina hasn't told you guys, that they moved in." Dann looked among them.
Mako ended up remembering what her mother wanted to give him as a thank you for helping out with the flora bouquets. Pink Anthurium for Mako, Chrysler Imperial Roses & casablanca lilies for Reika, Daffodils surrounded by Miniature Vista Hot Pink Petunias for Mina, Snowdrops for Amelie, and Pink tullips and Amaryllis Belladonna Lily Pink for Princess Lady Serenity. All carefully hand wrapped in imported ribbon of individual colors matching their senshi bows. All done by Dann and Mako when they were helping out with small details of the wedding as their form of helping. Touched Makoto to much she put a gift together for Angel that she had her daughter deliver to him a gift certificate.
"It's good for any repeated purchase," She hands over a fancy envelop. "Use any time."
"Where may be allowed to use this?" Dann wondered.
"Laurel Leaf." Tremolite lifts up two fingers.
Mako stared at her brother from across the table when he spoke of their English styled bakery known for their soufflé style cheesecake and Japanese pastries. Cozy building of two stories that's found in downtown Okutama, Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. Had shelves to the left and right as one would enter with all kinds of baskets fill with baked goods. Light fixtures above one's head were salvaged from buildings about to demolished. Counter with a sign that said order here where a wooden and glass display case filled with all kinds of fruit danishes. Register with a sign that said order here on it's counter own the other side of the display case. Made up most of the interior with kitchen behind one half the counter with all kinds of appliances to bake. On other half of the counter was area met for the costumers that wondered all due to the scent.
"Mom has a full time staff that run the place while away," Tremolite explained. "She's been trying to make one of us take over."
"I still think you make a better candidate then me." Mako pointed at her brother.
"Funske and you share the same brain." He sighs.
"We just whats best for you." Mako crumbled up a napkin.
"Since taking over dad's position as future member of the Shitennou." He stiffly spoke.
He was cut off from further speaking to her brother when she ended up doing a zip his lips gesture with her fingers passing over her fingers. He rolled his eyes at her trying to figure a better approach on the topic of inheritance to her brother. Not like she ever regretted being a younger sister since her brother wasn't the easier of people to get along with. Just him acting like a smug jerk usual during conversations about their mother's side business.
"I think that'll be a great place to check out known Angel." Dann pocketed the envelop.
"Our mom will love to hear that." Tremolite knew their mother would love to hear that news.
"She's always been one to welcomed to new faces," Mako pulled out her phone. "Excuse me."
She was then up and out of her seat to make a phone call to her mom about just delivering her gift to Dann from a private place. She got a chance to to do when Dann told her how she could use the back room since nobody else in there. Off she ran while she placed her school bag in her seat not wanting some stranger to steal her place at her table.
"Seems we're going to be doing business with you guys." Tremolite spoke of Laurel Leaf and Opal Moon working together.
"That's up to my mom," Dann corrected him. "She's makes those kind of choices."
He would have gone on about how Jewel would be glad to work out some kind of business arrangement with Makoto Kino. Wasn't for Dann being called pick up a order and take it over to another table by Ciprian from the register area. Which had Dann parting ways with everyone upon turning his back to them with a promise he would come back. Not like Actinolite cared since he had his foot kicked in by Amelie to keep him from saying anything to sarcastic. Hiddenite was still not back from trying to hold of his sister in a bit of how she up and left without informing him. Saualpite was a stared down with his sister Reika when Aegirine happily spoke on and on about fun they were going to have. Tremolite just lost him the flavor of his refilled soda to care with Mako away on her phone to speak their mother. All going unaware that soon a police would end up having to force open a apartment on the outskirts of Tokyo. Finding the owners were in a state of death with male burned alive from inside out and the female with dried corpse.
