Okay people, again I do not own Sailor Moon, although I wish I did, so please don't sue me.
Chapter 5: The New Danger
She led the group into a smaller room. Inside there was a table with 11 seats. The girls examined the table. In front of each chair was a symbol, one for each scout. Luna nodded for the girls to sit, each one sat in their mother's chair, with the exception of Melissa who sat in the chair with the small moon in front of it, Rini's chair.
"Okay," Luna said, "Where shall we start."
"It all started when Rini came back from the past," Artemis began.
"She was training in the past with the Inner Scouts to become a Sailor Scout," Luna told them, "When she returned after the defeat of Galaxia, she came home to see that their were five new people in the Palace." Luna glanced at each one of them. "You were born about a year before she returned. She was so delighted that she had someone to play with, excpecially you Melissa."
Melissa looked down at the table. Tears began to attempt to escape. She held them back as best as she could, wiping the memory of Rini's capture from her mind.
Luna then continued, "About 3 months after she returned to Crystal Tokyo, a huge meteor crashed into Earth, about 3 miles north of Crystal Tokyo."
"We didn't think of it as a threat then," Artemis told them, "A meteor shower was taking palace, so now one found anything suspicious."
"A science team was sent to investigate the meteor, they never returned." Luna went on. "Neo Queen Serenity sent Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars to investigate. They came back very injured. They had said that an evil being attack them. This being called herself Queen Alexandrite."
"She said that she was Queen of a distant galaxy," Artemis explained, "A galaxy called the Quantum galaxy. We weren't sure why she was here, but we knew that she was bad news."
"A few hours after she landed, Queen Alexandrite sent her generals to attack Crystal Tokyo," Artemis went on. "The scouts tried to defeat them, but they proved to powerful for the Inner Scouts to handle. They called the Outer Scouts to help, but it would take them a while to arrive, so they had to make the difficult decision to send you girls away."
"Sammy also made that decision," Luna told Melissa. "I have never seen him cry so much. He didn't want to leave you, none of them did. Neo Queen Serenity and Neo King Endymion already had plans to build a colony on the Martian moon, just in case. Neither of them imagined that they would need it so soon." Luna choked back tears after she mentioned the queen's name.
"The king and queen told all the women and children of Crystal Tokyo and the surrounding areas to leave for Mars moon, including the princess," Luna went on, "After everyone left, the Outer scouts arrived. While the Outer Scouts fought the enemy, the Inner scouts went to place a protective barrier around the Crystal Palace, similar to what they had to do when the Black Moon family attacked. But this new enemy soon over took them, capturing all of the Scouts." Luna took a brake to let what she had told the teen to sink in, then she continued. "When Queen Alexandrite came into the palace, Neo King Endymion and Sammy tried to keep her away from the Queen, but their efforts proved futile."
"Soon, Queen Alexandrite met Neo Queen Serenity." Artemis continued as Luna tried not to cry, "Luna and I tried to keep Alexandrite away from Serenity while she charged up the Silver Crystal, but it was no use. Alexandrite knocked us out of the way, and with the scouts gone, the Queen couldn't get enough energy to the crystal. She was captured also."
"That was 13 years ago," Luna continued, "Alexandrite has been trying to find the Princess and gain total control over the Crystal."
"But," Faith interrupted, "If the scouts couldn't stop her, how can we?"
"You five couldn't take Alexandrite alone," Luna told them, "but if you can free the Scouts, them the 13 of you could take her on and save Rini, Endymion, and Serenity."
"Do you really think so Luna?" Melissa asked, "I mean, we didn't do such a good job in protecting Rini."
"Melissa," Luna began, "you girls had just received your powers as Scouts. This is a very powerful enemy. You girls did just fine for your first time."
Luna looked up at the brown haired girl. She could see the tears slowly running down her face. Luna knew exactly what the young teen was going through, for she was unable to protect her mistress. She blinked away the tears, then continued on. "Now, the scouts are being held in four different shrines, the Volcano shrine, the Forest Shrine, the Water Shrine, and the Spirit Shrine."
"There are two scouts in each temple, one Inner Scout," Artemis told them, "and one Outer Scout. You will have to rescue them, it's not going to be easy, but we have faith in you."
The girls sat there for a while, think about what was just told to them.
"So this Queen Alexandrite is the reason we were separated from our parents?" Saria asked. Luna and Artemis both nodded.
"And for capturing Rini?" Kimmy asked.
"And for the destruction of Crystal Tokyo?" Megan asked.
Again Luna and Artemis nodded. They looked at each other in surprise, the older scouts never asked this many questions.
The girls sat in silence for a little while longer. Then Melissa spoke up, "Well, what are we waiting for." She gave a slight smile; her face was filled with determination.
"Yeah! We can do it!" Kimmy said.
"Nothing will stop us!" Faith added.
"As long as we believe in our selves," Megan went on.
"We can do anything!" Saria finished.
The girls looked at each other and nodded.
Suddenly there was a blast out side the palace. A few pieces of rubble fell around them.
"SCOUTS!! TRANSFORM!!" Luna shouted as she dodged a falling rock.
"Right!" the girls shouted and grabbed their wands or brooch.
"EARTH CRYSTAL POWER-"
"ARCTIC CRYSTAL POWER-"
"INFERNO CRYSTAL POWER-"
"LIGHTING CRYSTAL POWER-"
"DREAMS CRYSTAL POWER-"
"-MAKE UP!"
Soon the Neo Scouts had replaced the five teens.
"Let's go!" Earth shouted and ran out of the room, followed by the others.
"Wait!" Luna shouted, running after the girls.
Earth stopped abruptly, sending the others to fly into her.
"Ow," was the only thing coming from the heap of scouts.
"Sorry, I just had to give Arctic something." Luna apologized.
"Well, then why didn't you just call for me to stop?"
"Because I wanted to make sure you all did run blindly into battle." Luna then did a back flip and a small pocket computer appeared, it was ice blue and had Arctic's symbol on it.
"What is this?" Arctic asked, looking the device over.
"That is you Arctic computer. It allows you to get readings off of anything," Luna explained. Then she added quietly, "You mother had one just like it."
Arctic looked at the black cat in surprise. She fought back the tears as she slowly opened the computer. "Thank you Luna," she whispered. She stood up and started to type on the computer. She had the computer pointed towards the front door. "I reading four life forms," she announced. "Two monsters like the ones that took Rini," she continued to type rapidly, then suddenly stopped.
"Well, who are the other two?" Inferno asked, impatiently.
"One is Queen Alexandrite, the other is Rini."
Well, that's it for now. I should have the next chapter up shortly, if not sooner. Please R&R. It helps get the chapters up faster if you do!
