Silver: Welcome to my story!

Mischana: Poor person.

Silver:  Watch it woman.  I'm more powerful than you'll ever dream of being.

Wufei: Watch it both of you.  I've got a gun.

Heero: So do I.

Silver:  I have an energy blast.  *Blasts Heero and Wufei*

Eclipse: What was that?

Mischana: Silver blasted Heero and Wufei!

Eclipse: Oh.  Well, dinner is ready.

Silver: Should I let them eat or leave them shackled up on the wall like a cruel, evil maniac?

Mischana: Cruel, evil, maniac.

Silver:  What's for dinner? 

Eclipse:  Fettuccine Alfredo.

Silver: I'll tell you what it was like when I am finished eating, Heero and Wu-man.

Wufei: Weak onna….


Silver:  *as he walks out the door* The only problem with that is I'm a guy.

Silver, Mischana, and Eclipse: *Walk into Silver's room after eating*

Silver:  Now, on to the story.  Enjoy chapter one!  *begins to type furiously*

~*~ Chapter One: It Begins to Shine ~*~

          "This is ridiculous," Rini said.  Her thirteen year-old form dropped a small crystal on the bed in her room.  She thought about it, and then realized that she had just dropped the only keepsake she had from her first boyfriend, Jonathan.  He said it held all his feelings for her.  He had to move with his family when they had just turned 13.  He was now 13, and she talked to him regularly.

          She decided to keep the thing on a chain so she wouldn't lose it.  The small crystal was sky blue in color, and had a small, white, eight-pointed star shape in the center of it.  She put it on a golden chain and put it around her neck.  Her now long hair, like her mothers was when she was 13, drug behind her just like Serenity's had done long ago. 

          Rini sighed as that first summer night went through her mind.  That first conversation she had with him the week before that night.  The days leading up to the night they were to meet.  She held the crystal tightly as she almost fell into tears thinking about him.  She decided not to let herself go so quickly into tears like that and got up.  Surely there was something her mother could want.

          **          **          **

         

          Queen Ami strolled down the palace hallway on her way to the Mercury Tower.  She had an incoming message from the Mercury Planetary Council and they said that it was urgent.  Her aqua colored dress shimmered in the lighting.  The material was unique, when looked at and it was flowing and moving, the aqua caught the light and became a purple color.  Her glass tiara banded around her forehead and had a sapphire in the front of it, and around her left ear was a blue rose, one that only grew on Mercury.  On either ear was a Mercury symbol earring cut out of sapphires.

          Ami finally reached the top of the tower. She stood in the center of the large courtyard on top of the Crystal Palace's Mercury Tower.  A holographic form of the Council Speaker was there and waiting.  "Queen Ami, so nice to see you!"  "Thank you, Menandrian.  Now, what is this pressing business you need to address with me?" Ami asked.  The wind up on top of the tower blew her hair around a bit. 

          "There have been reports of people suffering extreme energy exhaustion lately.  Several anonymous witnesses have reported seeing different youma around.  We have reason to believe that we may be facing someone such as the old enemies you once fought.  They seem to have the same things running around and be causing the same disturbances.  There are youma, and people losing their energy almost to the brink of death," Menandrian finished.  "Sounds very pressing," Queen Mercury replied, pausing for a few minutes to think.  "I will inform Neo-Queen Serenity of this and seek her advice.  Maybe even ask Raye to conduct a fire reading.  Thank you, Menandrian," she said.  Menandrian's holographic form bowed and disappeared.  Queen Ami walked off with a worried look on her face.

          **          **          **

          Serenity walked past the doors countless times.  She was pacing, something she hadn't done in a very long time.  The Silver Crystal had been emitting pulses of energy to warn her lately, and then Queen Ami, Queen Hotaru, Queen Haruka, Queen Michiru, and Queen Rei informing them of their planet's different predicaments.  Then, of course, there was the problem on the earth.  Youma were plaguing the innocent there like they once had, capturing their energy and taking it to some unknown force. 

          Rini came in through the doors of her mother's chamber.  She felt a strange energy, something she hadn't felt since the time they had to fight against a possessed Galaxia, the guardian of the star seeds.  This was the Silver Crystal's warning sign.  She instantly looked up at her mother.  "So you have sensed the Crystal's warning too?" she asked.  "Yes, mother, I have," she said quietly, almost a whisper.  "There is something going on, Mother.  I heard Ami and Rei talking about it." 

          "So there is something SERIOUSLY wrong?" Queen Hotaru asked her best friend, Rini.  "Yeah, the Silver Crystal is emitting warning energy," Rini replied.  The two were on Triton, one of Saturn's moons.  They watched the capitol of Saturn, Northern Star City, gleam in the night.  The power the Silver crystal provided let life live on the planets and their moons, and gave the sun's light and heat the energy it needed to travel to the furthest reaches of Pluto without scorching Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.  Just watching the lights twinkle in the Saturn night made them on the edge, because they knew there was something working, collecting energy from people.  "Its creepy," Hotaru said.  "I know," Rini said.  "I can feel it, we're gonna end up fighting like before," Hotaru said.

          **          **          **

          "Sooner than that!" Chaos muttered to himself.  He had taken the body of a normal earth man and possessed it.  The powers Chaos held were channeled into his body.  Even though it was the man's body, the spirit was gone.  It was nothing but a shell, not even a star seed.

          "You're all alike," Chaos said, his green eyes flashing a red power.  Prince Diamond from the Dark Moon Family, and the Dark Moon Family (Minus the four sisters who were living on earth) stood behind him.  "Sorry, Chaos, but this isn't exactly a dream come true."  Diamond's Black Moon insignia had become a crescent moon, along with the others of the dark moon family.  "We're not going to be ruled by you this time," he said.  "Your 'Wiseman' was more than enough for us to deal with."  With that, Diamond turned around and walked back into the ranks of the family.  "We're with the scouts, this time."  The family joined hands.  "See you in hell," he said as the family disappeared. 

          "I'm going to enjoy killing them," Chaos said.  Wiseman, his original body restored, floated forward.  "I would love to take them out for you," he said.  "Oh shut up, Doom Phantom.  You failed once; you didn't realize the full potential that I had put in you.  Sorry, but this time its MY turn.  I'm not possessing anything I don't need."  Wiseman stepped back.  His crystal flashed the skull face and he was gone.

          "This is going to get very interesting," Chaos said as he stretched.  "Oh well, even the most evil must rest," he said as he disappeared and reappeared next to his bed.
