Lita stood, confused, where was she? It was dark. Lonely, and cold. Yet the sense of
it was all to familiar.

"This is a dream." she stated to no one.

Suddenly, a crimson light caught her attention. It was eminating a sort of vibration,
almost in a beckoning fashion. Lita cautiously moved towards it, not sure of what it was. Upon
approaching it, it seemed to become smaller, a tiny ball that could fit in the palm of her hand.
She hestintly reached out for it, touching it litely with her fingers. It suddenly exploded, a
white light filling the area. Warming her body. She opened her eyes, still reeling from the
burst of light, and amazed by what, or who, for that matter, lay before her.

"Set-setsuna?"(I don't really like the name Trista, no offense.) She stuttered, unsure.

"Lita." she replied back.

Lita couldn't believe her eyes. It wasn't Setsuna, it couldn't be. The image was hazy, a
shadow. No, a phantom, of what once was. She could see the blackness eminating through her
friends sheer body.

"How could this be? I don't understand. No! This is just a dream! You're not real!" she yelled
at herself.

"This is true. I am here. I am real. I have come to you with a mission, your last if you
choose to accept it." The Sailor Scout of Time answered in a calming tone.

"I don't understand." Lita said, confused.

"The gate needs a protector. Without one, time and space will spin out of control. I cannot
protect the gate much longer, no more than a few days. Lita, you are the only one left with the
ability to take over this responsibility."

Lita gaped at her. How could anyone trust her with such a responsibility. How could she
handle it.

"You want me to be The protector of the Time Gate?" she asked, unsure.

"That and more."

Lita quirked an eyebrow,"And more?"

Pluto sighed,"Yes, when all the other scouts were killed, there roles in this reality
were destroyed. Lita, if you accept this mission, you will have all the power of the Sailor
Scouts, you be all, and one, all at the same time."

"No. Setsuna, there must be someone better! Someone you could trust better." she desprately
pleaded.

"I'm sorry Lita, you are the only one worthy. The only one capable."

Lita was speechless, how could she say no, but, by the same, how could she say yes? If
she accepted, she would have everything, be the most pwerful being in the universe. She would
have all the strength of the Scouts. The capability to damn or save the universe with a whim.
Push time forward or backward. She would weild Saturn's glaive, Pluto's key, Uranus' sword,
Neptune's mirror, plus all the power that the inner scouts possessed. And if she said no, that
would be it, no more universe, no more her, no more Rini, no more humanity. She couldn't say no,
that wasn't an option.

"Sailor Jupiter, have you made your desicion?" Pluto asked, calm as before.

Mournfully, she nodded,"Yes...I accept. I will do what I must."

Setsuna nodded,"Verywell, in three days, Hotaru will be back for you, and then, it will
begin."

"Hotaru?" she asked in bewilderment.

"Yes. She is the scout of silence, the scout of death, death can not die, but you will still
have the aid of her powers."

"It is time for me to go." Sailor Pluto spoke, a serene smile on her face,"Tell Rini, that I love
her, and I will see her again."

Her image began to fade.

"Setsuna!" Lita shouted,"One more question!"

"Quikly!" she answered.

"Why didn't Rini die, her parents were killed!"

The serene smile widened slightly on the slight of lips,"Why is your own question, Lita."

"I don't understand!" she shouted to the nearly invisible figure.

"Ask your heart." Pluto whispered, fading completely from view.

Lita bolted upright. She couldn't quite grasp reality.

"Oh...my..." was all she could get out.
