~*Ch. 5*~

Talim felt light sweep over her. It was blinding her, and she had to close her eyes. When she opened them, she could feel she wasn't Talim anymore. When she looked down at herself, she saw someone totally different.

Talim was wearing a long, priestess robe. It looked like her old one, except it was done in the ancient style; long sleeves, and a flowing skirt. Her hair was pulled back in a loose ponytail, and her hair and the skirt were a dull shade of gray. There was a quiver of arrows on her back, and she was holding a nice bow mode of rosewood.

"Come now, hurry!," Luna yelled after Talim transformed, "The other scouts need your help!" Talim ran outside of the temple, and saw the gigantic creature. She saw what the cat called "scouts", trying to ward of the kappa with water and fire attacks.

*They can't ward it off that way* Talim thought, *The only way to defeat a kappa is to make it bow.*

Talim pondered a few seconds more, after that, she knew what to do. She drew an arrow from a quiver, and instantly, her skirt turned a dark navy blue, and her hair became a dirty blonde color. She nocked an arrow in the bow, and it instantly glowed with a mustard yellow light.

"Uranus World Shaking!"

Talim fired the arrow into the ground; it traveled like a mole, kicking up dry earth while it sped through the ground. Finally, the arrow hit the kappa in the heel, making it stumble.

*Not good enough!* Talim thought urgently. While the creature regained it's balance, she ran behind it, and prepared to strike again. The five scouts turned their heads, to see who executed the deadly attack. But Talim had darted behind the kappa before anyone could get a glimpse of her. Nocking another arrow, she watched it take on the same mustard yellow luster.

"Uranus World Shaking!"

She fired again, and the arrow hit the kappa in the back of the ankle, causing it to fall forward.

"Yes!" Talim cried. Then she saw one of the scouts; a tall girl with long, blonde pigtails. *The girl from my dream!* Talim thought. She watched the scout perform the final attack to get rid of the defenseless creature.

"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!"

Pink heats flew out at the kappa, destroying it; the creature vanished in a puff of black smoke.

Talim walked out in the open, her skirt and hair turning the dull gray color again. Some of Talim's hair had come out of the ponytail, and she constantly was blowing stray strands out of her face.

The other scouts walked toward her. Talim didn't what to expect, especially from the long haired one. She was utterly frightened.

Sailor Moon walked toward the mysterious scout, who was walking out from the shadows. The girl got wide-eyed when she saw Sailor Moon, she looked frightened.

"Don't worry," Sailor Moon started, "I won't hurt you."

"You already did," she whispered.

The other scouts looked at each other in confusion. What did she mean by, "You already did"?

"You're the girl from my dream," she said. "You told me about myself, my future. How I'm supposed to protect…" she motioned to the scouts, "…all of you."

Luna smiled. "Then we were right," she told Artemis, "Except she saw Princess Serenity."

Luna stepped in front of the girl and announced, "This scout is Priestess Moon, the Guardian of All the Planets. She just found out about this, and is very confused, so don't ask her too many questions."

A soft pink hue rose up on the girl's cheeks as the scouts started talking amongst each other.

"Guardian of All Planets?" Sailor Venus said, confused, "How come we've never seen her before?"

"She looked so scared of you, Sailor Moon," Sailor Jupiter pointed out, "Do you think you did something to her in the past?"

"Nonsense! I would never hurt an innocent person," Sailor Moon replied.

"Well then why would she look at you like you were a hungry piranha?" Sailor Mars teased.

"Luna said not to ask too many questions, so lets leave her alone for now," Sailor Mercury suggested as she typed something on her mini computer, "There is no scout file on her at all. There's something wrong with this."

"I agree," Sailor Moon said, "And I really think we should look into this more. Okay scouts, let's meet tomorrow and discuss this predicament."

"Oh my gosh! You actually used a vocabulary word!" Sailor Mars Said in awe.

"Shut up!" Sailor Moon spat as she walked away.

"Artemis," Luna asked as the scouts left, "Do you think we should tell Priestess Moon about the binding?"

"Binding?" Artemis asked, confused.

"To the Chalice, remember?" Luna said cheekily.

"Oh, yeah! No I don't think so. I don't think anyone would want to hear about their life in the hands of a weapon"

"Especially if the weapon is destroyed every time it's used. You're right. We'll let her find out on her own."
