1 Chapter 4

Forgotten Memories

"Lita?Lita!" Mina said as she knocked for the fourth time on Lita's apartment door.

She wasn't sure why she wasn't answering the door. Lita had said she would meet Mina that morning so they could go shopping. Mina supposed that Lita forgot and slept in. She glanced down toward her feet and saw a note that looked like it had fallen from the door. Bending down to pick it up she began to read it. It read:

Guys,

I'm going on vacation. I don't know how long I'll be gone. It may be a while. See you when I return.

Lita

Reading the note only made Mina more suspicious. It was odd for Lita to just pick up and leave like that. She tried the doorknob, to her surprise it was open Slowly she opened the door and peeked in.

"Hello?" Mina said while she peered around the empty apartment. She began to think to herself. "Lita must have been in a big hurry to leave her door unlocked and clothes all over the place like this. Where could she have gone with her car still in the driveway?"

Mina thought and remembered what a rush Lita had been in to get home after the scout meeting the day before. After they had just learned a new technique for their transformational pens. A thought suddenly struck Mina, she wasn't sure of it, but she had a hunch. She hurriedly went to find the others.

No sooner had she gathered the scouts together, they had arrives back at Lita's apartment.

"So you didn't hear from her at all last night?" Raye asked.

"No." Mina replied. " I came here and all I found was this note."

Mina took the piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to Raye.

Amy was scanning the room with her visor computer for any clues. Serena walked out of Lita's room.

"Well that's not like Lita to leave her clothes all over her room like that."

"I've got something." Amy said out of the blue.

"What is it?" They questioned.

"There are traces of a dimensional portal in this room. I'm trying to pinpoint its exact location though."

Amy thought for a moment.

"There!" She pointed.

She took out her pen.

"Any what are you doing?" Serena asked.

Amy had created a portal exactly where Lita's had been.

"Lita traveled to another dimension." She said conclusively.

"But why?" Raye said wonderingly.

"I'm not sure, we'll have to ask her when we get there. This portal should lead us to where she is. It's the precise location of where her portal originated."

With that, Amy jumped through.

"We're not really going through there are we guys…?" Serena questioned. "….guys?"

The scouts were already filing in. Serena shrugged and followed.

The Ronins had woken up and were discussing what had happened the night before. Sage (who was facing the window) glanced up from his coffee long enough to see four girls suddenly appear from a portal outside the house. He stared curiously and soon Ryo took notice.

"Hey Sage what are you staring at?"

Ryo turned and also saw the girls. The others began to look too.

"Those girls just appeared out of nowhere, like a portal or something." Sage implied.

Ryo immediately was on guard. He suspected something. He got up and started for the door.

"Hey, Ryo whatcha doing?" Cye asked.

"I don't trust those girls, I got a feeling…" Ryo responded.

The others followed him outside.

Raye held her hand up to shield her eyes as she looked toward the house in front of them.

"I think there's people coming out of the house guys." She said with a notion to the others girls.

Raye stared at the first man that appeared at the door of the house. She was hit with a sudden jolt, she took a step back. She increased her stare and thought she saw something vaguely familiar about this guy.

Ryo stopped immediately.

"Ryo what's up?" Kento asked.

"Something odd about those girls." He answered, as he began to walk forward again.

There was something rekindling inside of both the guys and the girls at that moment. All except for Kento, who almost had a hint of what this was all about. Though for some their past was so much more significant than the other's and as soon as they saw the one that had been dormant in their minds for over a century emotions surged.

As soon as Amy turned from her current stare and looked up at the guys, eyes went directly to one of them standing up there on the doorstep. She began to run to him.

"Cye!" She exclaimed as she was racing towards him.

"Amy what are you doing?!" Serena exclaimed.

She didn't answer. Cye had an awkward look on his face, he didn't know quite sure who this girl was and what she was doing. The Scouts were as perplexed as the other Ronins were. Amy normally didn't act like this, and Cye was one to have women flocking to him. As soon as Amy reached Cye she practically knocked him over, she hugged him so tightly. That contact made all of Cye's memories flood back to him as well, and he was no longer alarmed.Cye took hold of Amy's shoulders, pushed her back a bit and made eye contact with her, then slowly leaned his head down and kissed her.

"Amy! What are you doing?" Mina said tramping up to the Ronins house.

She quickly pulled Amy away from Cye.

"You don't even know this guy!"

Amy stayed quite calm.

"What, Mina? Don't you remember? This is Cye Mouri, he and I were in love back during the Silver Millennium." Amy blushed a bit while saying this.

Mina stared flabbergasted.

"Mina?" Rowen said to himself. "Mina Aino?" He asked her.

Mina stopped and turned toward Rowen.

"How? How did you know my full name?"

"I don't know."

To some it comes faster than others. It depends on how much joy or hurt came out of their meeting.

Rowen was still confused as to how he knew her name. He had never seen her before in his whole life, and yet he felt he knew her.

"R-Rowen?" Mina asked in a shaky voice.

She was beginning to become frightened. One part of her was recalling something, something that seemed new but was old. Mina burst into tears. It had all came back to her, their past, when they met, and how she watched him die! To see him standing there was something she had dreamed in dreams but never understood. Rowen didn't know what to do, but her tears seemed so familiar. He got down on his knees and comforted her. It felt now as if he had never forgotten.

"It's all right Mina, I'm here now." He said consoling her.

"I know." Mina said pressing against him, her tears subsiding.

The remaining Ronins and scouts did not know what was happening. Possibly the only past they had was a mere courtship.

"Rowen, Cye, what are you doing?" Ryo asked.

"I think we should go inside." Cye said in response.

So they all walked inside to sit down and talk things out. They all sat down and for a moment all was silent.

"This makes no sense." Raye said.

"It is all easily explained though." Amy chimed.

"Please, enlighten us then." Kento grunted impatiently.

He didn't know why but there was this growing feeling inside him that the longer they just sat there, a larger threat was growing.

Nevertheless for about a half an hour they Ronins and Sailors sat and listened to forgotten remnants being reintroduced to them in pieces.

"Though I'm not sure why some of us remembered before they others." Amy added.

"But…I don't remember at all." Serena said in a monotone.

"It might just take more time."

"Serena….I'm sorry." Sage all of a sudden just said.

"What?" She returned surprised.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there in time."

"What are you talking about?"

"It was on the last minutes of the Moon Kingdom and I wasn't able to be with you." Sage looked up at Serena. He had recalled everything.

Serena stared at him, she wasn't sure of herself. She placed her hands on his cheeks.

"You were there…in my heart." She said compassionately.

"Serena?" Raye began.

"Raye, don't go saying something stupid again." Ryo butted in.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sorry miss I didn't mean…"

It seemed as though Ryo's memory wasn't coming back all at once.

"Or did you Ryo Sanada?" Raye grinned as she took him and gave him a playful kiss.

Ryo was stunned for a moment. And then fully there once again.

"Missed you too." He said smiling.

Kento sat close and yet feeling ostracized from the group. He of course didn't recall any of this past that was explained. How could he, his mind, or his heart, didn't want to.

"It seems we're all reacquainted then." Cye said jokingly.

"Wait…no." Mina began. "Lita! I almost forgot."

Kento began paying attention at the mention of this.

"Lita? That's the name of the girl that was kidnapped by Dais." He stated.

"KIDNAPPED?!" The shocked scouts yelled.

It seemed the scouts or the Ronins had not yet recalled every inch of their past so they did not yet remember the full extent of what had happened between Kento and Lita.

"So Lita is here." Raye contemplated.

"She evidently remembered more than us, and sooner." Amy added.

"But…still…why did she come here?" Mina thought outloud.

"Wait….are you saying this 'Royal Princess of Jupiter" is your friend." Kento asked.

"Yes, that's exactly what she is, and I of the Moon, and so on and so forth." Serena said with a waving motion of her hand.

"How did you know she was royalty?" Amy asked.

"Dais said so when he captured her."

"Kento, do you remember any of our past at all." Cye asked.

"What? You mean all that stuff that you guys are going nuts over? I don't remember a thing of that."

"How could you not?" Raye inquired.

"Good say to you Princess." A cold voice said to Lita.

She glanced from side to side in the darkness, she could see nothing. The voice though, seemed all around her.

"I have come on certain orders." It said. " And there is a sentence I must carry out."

"Who are you?" Lita asked in a quavering voice.

"One, who shall not be named." It said.

Lita suddenly felt a tight clamp around her head.

"No." She began. "Please."

"I wish not to do this Princess, but I must."

In a flash of light Lita opened her eyes. But…it wasn't Lita. She was tethered in dark robes. And a dark bolt of lightning gripped at her side.

"What are your orders?" The voice interrogated.

"Disown all I have known, and step into the darkness." Lita answered.

"What are you then?"

"A servant no, longer of good, but evil."

"Do you know your place."

"Yes. Beside my Mistress."

"Good." Another voice sounded.

The other had departed.

"Your purpose?"

"Not, to serve YOU!" Lita said as she plunged her bolt into the stomach of Ageeba.

"Wretched girl." Ageeba said as she clutched herself. "Yet cunning." And with her last breathe she cast a spell upon Lita. "No more shall you trickery prevail, for now it will not be that!"

Lita fell to her knees, and watched the corpse of the once proud Empress disintegrate into nothing but dust.

"Empress…" Cale said as he entered the dark chamber.

"Ready my chariot." Lita said. " I have an agenda to keep tonight."

Her voice had turned cold and devilish.

"Yes, at once." Cale said bowing.

Lita faced toward the pile of dust.

"Pathetic." She said stepping over it and into the lower chambers.

She had not destroyed the evil, but had not escaped it.



There…chapter 4. Not sure how Chapter 5 will turn out. The story fully will most likely go up to 6 Chapters. Just expect differences in storyline, maybe. Glad I finally finished this though.
