~*The Rebirth of a Samurai*~
~*Apocalypse of the Silence and Chaos*~
Light filled the room.
"Chao...sis...I...will...get...you..." Hotaru mumbled as the light washed over her body. She felt like she wasn't there anymore, that she was floating. She felt the power overwhelm her as she looked up. Her ceiling was no longer there, and instead, she saw the sky. It was dark, the brink of dawn, and she saw a gate above her. It was glowing an eerie purple, and she could only see the briefest at the other side.
She knew what she had to do.
"Hotaru?"
She turned to the door. She knew who it was; her father. The light must have awaken him. Oh no, she thought, he mustn't know!
"Hotaru, are you okay?"
Be still, Hota---She felt a sudden surge as she gritted. Memories were tumbling into her mind, as she felt something from her heart suddenly dash out, making her yelp in surprise.
"Hotaru! Hotaru, open the door!" her father shouted from outside.
She turned to the door. "No, no! Don't! Stay away!"
"Hotaru, please!" her father insisted. "Open the door. What's wrong?"
She shook her head as she looked down at her chest. She saw that she was no longer in her night clothes but in a suit, much like the one in her dream. Before her, she saw the crytal seed that was given to her by Queen Serenity herself. What was the name she was given?
The Samurai of Silence.
Meanwhile, her father was beating his fist on the door. "Hotaru!"
She turned. Oh, dear father, she thought. I will be gone for some quite time, please, do not worry about me. I will be okay. As soon as I defeat my formidable foe who has caused so much trouble. She casted her eyes up at the sky, where the gate awaited.
Her father finally got the keys after stumbling to his room to get it. He desperately twisted every key till he got the right one which opened his daughter's room. He swung the door open and light poured into his vision. But something really got him panicked.
She was gone.
Setsuna's eyes snapped open from her sleep and was welcomed by the dimmness of the room. Judging by the darkness outside, it was still night, at the brink of dawn.
Something was wrong. And Setsuna knew what it was.
She bolted off from her bed and hurried.
Rei awoke to the sound of her ravens outside. She groaned as she got off her bed and rubbed her eyes with the hilt of her palm. Normally, the ravens, Phoboes and Demios didn't caw so much early in the morning.
Then again, with the life she's led, anything could happen.
She pulled on her priestess outfit and sleepily walked outside. It was at the brink of dawn, a light starting to spread across the horizon. There, on the tree nearby, was her two ravens, cawing uncontrollably.
"What's wrong?" she asked sleepily.
The kept cawing and looking at a certain direction. She turned and saw a bright star flashing in the early morning sky. At first, she thought she was losing it, but she blinked, rubbed her eyes, and looked out again. Sure enough, the star was still there, shining all too brightly.
"What is going on?" she demanded.
Suddenly, it struck her. Silence. Chaos. It was all beginning.
"Hotaru!!!!!"
"Rei, really!" Usagi whined as she trudged along in her pink sweater and long green pants. "Y'know, my parents will be freaked when they find out that I've left so early without telling them. And I was having a dream about Darien!!!" She sulked.
Minako leaned over at Usagi. "Was it good?"
"Uh-huh!" Usagi nodded.
Ami shook her head, still weary from studying up late last night. "Rei must have a good reason for calling us this early in the morning," she said, yawning as she clamboured about in her blue outfit.
Makoto nodded silently in agreement.
"Hey, look, over there!" Usagi cried, pointing up ahead. "There's Setsuna, Michiru and Haruka! I wonder what they're doing at the front of Rei's home!" She sped up to meet up with the older senshi. "Setsuna! Michiru! Haruka! What are you doing here?"
Haruka didn't want to talk much, and Usagi could see by the crossed arms and the face to the ground, but Setsuna nodded wisely and said calmly, "Good. I was hoping that Rei would call for you."
Usagi blinked.
"Setsuna called us early this morning," Michiru explained gently, her hair up in a sleepy ponytail, in a silk aqua blouse and a matching skirt. "She said that something happened out here, somewhere, and it has to do with Hotaru." She shook her head. "Poor girl...I hope she's okay."
"So why are we here, then?" Makoto asked. "Why not at Hotaru's house?"
"Because, I want you to look up there!" The group turned to see Rei running down the stairs from her temple, in the priestess outfit she was in earlier. She was in a frantic hurry, running and pointing up to the sky. They looked up, and there, they saw the star flashing.
Ami took out her little computer gizmo and started typing. "That's odd," she said after a moment. "My computer dosen't recognize this thing up there. I'm guessin it's a star, but it says it's not. The readings are off the scale! It's unbelievable."
"Where is the thing hovering over?" Michiru asked.
Tap, tap, tap. "It's over---the Tomeo residence."
"That's where Hotaru lives!" Minako shouted. "Something's up! I can feel it!"
Setsuna and Rei suddenly felt a sensation in their minds, something that gave them a sudden urgency to go. Without any announcement, they just started running down the street.
"Rei!" Usagi shouted. "Where are you going? Rei----!"
"Setsuna---" Michiru cried after them.
Without thinking, Makoto and Minako started running. Then Haruka followed their lead before Ami, Michiru and Usagi followed, and at that point, Rei and Setsuna were way ahead.
"Rei, are you getting this feeling?" Setsuna asked.
"If I didn't, I wouldn't be here right now," she responded breathlessly.
The Tomeo Residence was silent when they arrived. Ami was right, the bright thing was up there, and sure enough, it wasn't a star. Rei couldn't even begin to think what it was, but it wasn't a sphere. It was sort of flat and was in purple. "What is that?" she asked out loud.
"It's a portal," Setsuna responded. "To where, I don't know."
"Let's go in, I guess," Rei said nervously, as she went up for the door. She was about to knock, when the door just opened. She was taken aback slightly, to be greeted by a solemn silence. "Um, I guess we're welcomed."
They stepped into the house. It was deadly quiet.
"Anyone home?" Rei asked meekly.
"Hmm...we must find Hotaru," Setsuna said calmly.
They heard an anguish cry.
"Upstairs!" Setsuna shouted.
They trekked upstairs to find a room with its doors wide open, light pouring in. They peered from the door to see a strange purple light lighting up the dark bedroom. And at the center, looking upward, was Mr. Tomeo, Hotaru's father.
"Mr. Tomeo!" Rei said, surprised.
He turned. "Hino. Meioh. You've got to help Hotaru!"
Setsuna blinked in mild confusion. "Mr. Tomeo, what are you talking about?"
"My Hotaru---she's vanished to another world!"
