Chapter Two : Introductions
"Wha - what's happening?" Miaka cried as the ground below her began to shake and the world before her go crazy.
"Miaka! Stand back!" Tamahome yelled above the wind's shrieking.
It was a beautiful day. The Suzaku Seishi was enjoying themselves before the summoning ceremony the next day. Then all of the sudden the sky turned black as thunder clouds covered the blue sky and threatened to unleash its full capacity of water. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, even the ground shook. The creatures of the air were causing quite a commotion, flying madly around in all directions while the ground inhabitants ran and hid.
It was mad!
Everything went mad!
And then is silence took over….
The chaotic moment passed like it never happened. It was the fine beautiful day set again. It was like the whole episode never occurred. As if it was nothing but a dream. It happened so fast and ended so abruptly that it could have past for a figment caused by someone's imagination….but the difference was, everyone experienced it….
"Wha - wha - what?!" asked an incoherent Hotohori.
"Something happened. I feel it. Something is wrong…." The blue-haired monk replied absently.
"…" said the others, still disorientated from the shock of the event.
"AAAHHHHH!!!"
"MIAKA!!!" yelled Tamahome as he whipped around to see his miko been pulled into a vortex spiraling blue green light.
The suction from the vortex proved to be too strong….
The others were pulled in after their miko….
They didn't see anything but blackness….

"It's getting worse … it's spreading at such a fast rate."
"Endymion's alliance with the Dark Kingdom seems to have triggered its awakening. I did not foresee this. They have blocked me out somehow."
"What's happening? … Pluto … I'm loosing you."
"They … causing interference … can't … through … princess … protect … you know … what … to do."
"Pluto, I - "
"Shit! My head! What the fuck was that? Get off me ya fat lot!" Tasuki cried as he regained consciousness.
"What? … uhhhh … I feel like being trampled by a stampede …" the half conscious Hotohori mumbled.
"Miaka? Are you all right? Wake up, Miaka!" Tamahome said shaking the unconscious girl on top of him.
"Five more minutes, mum … hmmm … chocolate ice-cream … strawberry cheesecake …."
"So you are all awake. I apologize for your sudden and abrupt arrival …" the Creator of the Universe said.
"The fuck sudden! I could be suffering from a friggin' broken my neck! What the hell do you want, you ugly old bag?"
"You loud mouth idiot! Will you shut up for once and listen?!" The creator of the universe cried losing control over her temper. The flame-haired former bandit shrank back at the sight of the looming face of the old woman which seemed to grow uglier by the minute.
"I apologize for Tasuki's language Taiitsu-kun," Chichiri quickly intervened, "There must of been something important you wish to tell us about or else we wouldn't be … summoned … in such fashion."
" … " Tasuki mumbled.
"hmmm…two days ago, a tainted energy swept through the universe breaking the seal that entombed an ancient evil. I need your help to seal the creature up again."
"Why can't we just summon the gods and wish it gone?" Nuriko asked carelessly, examining his nails.
"Unfortunately that's not an option." Taiitsu-kun said testily. "They've gone on an extended holiday."
"Excuse me?" Nuriko asked.
"They've been temporarily exiled from this land."
"…ummm… I thought they were gods."
"This 'ancient evil' as it is so called was created by the nightmares of people that has be accumulating. It's power is immense. As powerful as I am -"
"Powerful? You? Whaddya do? Kill people with that face of yours?" mocked Tasuki.
"- Even I don't have that kind of power." Taiitsu-kun finished choosing to ignore fang-boy.
"Then how do we defeat it? I want to go home." Miaka said nervously, not liking the idea that she may have to her only hope of going home.
"The combined powers of the gods and me would be enough to seal it again but the creature has taken the first move and exiled Them from this world. The only way to undo this act … is beyond me."
"If it is beyond you then how do we fit in this?" Tasuki asked not liking the idea of this situation.
"I said it is beyond me but I didn't say that it was impossible. When I first created this universe, the knowledge that was unlocked in the process was immense. Almost like it had an intelligence of its own, striving to be released. I was slowly going insane with it contained within me. I released it in the forms of three books."
"Are you saying that you stored your knowledge in three books?"
"Yes but it was too dangerous to keep in this world, a war was brewing. I sent them away and spelled it to only allow one with a pure heart to touch them. All I know is that it contains all you need to know about how to undo what the demon has done."
"I don't understand…," a fidgety Miaka said.
"The knowledge released while creating the universe was making me insane. I had no choice but to get rid of it. I created three books to store most if not all my knowledge. I then erased that knowledge from my mind. Understand now?"
"Kind of. Why must we retrieve the books?"
"Are you stupid of just brainless, girl? So I can find a spell to return the gods of this world."
"Oh…ok…. Where did you vanish them to? How do we retrieve it?" Miaka asked eagerly.
"To a world identical to this one, one in which everything is real yet not."
"What do you mean? How can anything be real and not be real?"
"People live there, yes. But that world is tied close with the spirit world, therefore somethings may appear to be real and some just illusions. Also, be careful, the enemy has a large influence on that world, he's a master of illusions. He can make things appear to be real but are not."
"Then how do people liver there?"
"Well, it was a same place until the seal was broken."
"Okay! Let's do it! Let's get the books. If they contain so much knowledge, then they can show you how to create things right? Maybe I can find out how to create a yummy chocolate caramel centered ice-cream! Ahhh… I miss my food so much!"

"It's not that simple. According to the rules that I set, four Suzaku warriors and four Seiryuu warriors must accompany the chosen person and -"
"WHAT??? YOU WANT US TO FUCKING TEAM UP WITH THOSE BLOOD SUCKING CREEPS?!"
"Yes. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, the goal of these warriors is to protect her and not to kill each other."
"Her?"
"Yes, I believe she is from your world, Suzaku no miko. The one you know as Sailor Moon?"
"You mean Sailor Moon is here?! I need to get her autograph! I'm such a big fan of hers!"
"Bring me the warriors of Seiryuu and the one called Chiriko." The old woman ordered one of the nyan-nyans.
"Excuse me, oh so ugly madam, but Chiriko's right here." A confused Hotohori pointed out.
"I am this close to turning you into a baboon. CALL ME UGLY AGAIN AND YOU'LL BE ONE! Now, I'm quite certain that the one you know as 'Chiriko' will announce that he is none other than Amiboshi of the Seiryuu seishi."
"WHAT?! YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT…." Tasuki yelled releasing a string of colorful language and shooting death glares at the impostor.
At this moment, two nyan-nyans appeared followed by the six Seiryuu seishi and their priestess from one end of the room. From another, a boy was been dragged in by another nyan-nyan.
The tension in the room bolted right up. The impostor walked over to join his team mates. Death glares where thrown between the two groups of rival warriors.
"THAT'S ENOUGH! I'VE ALREADY GOT A HEADACHE! DON'T MAKE IT WORSE!" Taitsu-kun yelled. "Now, unfortunately, you people don't have a choice about who's going or not. It's already been chosen. Hotohori, Tasuki, Chichiri and Tamahome from Suzaku's lot and Nakago, Soi, Tomo and Amiboshi will go. No arguments. You're going."
Hotohori and Tasuki was shaking with anger, one glaring at the old woman and the other at the Seiryuu seishi who posed as Chiriko. Tamahome was busy glaring at Nakago, promising death while the general stood and smiled coldly.
"Now let us see if our guess has awoken." Taitsu-kun said as gestured everyone to follow her.
They walked done the hall, the silence was deafening. Miaka sneaked glances at her former best friend while Tamahome still glared at Nakago's back. They stopped in front of a large wooden door. The laughter of nyan-nyans and a girl could be heard. The door opened….
"I see you are awake, Princess Serenity." The old woman said as she watched the nyan-nyans that entertaining the girl with disapproval.
"Yes, Taitsu-kun. I feel much better now."
"Are you really Sailor Moon? Wow I'm such a big fan of yours. You're great! Can I have your autograph?" Miaka gushed as she rushed into the room stopping centimeters before crashing in to the silver-haired girl.
"…I… uh"
"Enough Miaka, only a klutz would fail to see the resemblance. She and Sailor Moon have the same hairstyle, eye-color and if you change her hair color, they can pass for clones." Yui said venomously.
Miaka blanched.
"Princess, I would like to introduce you to the people who will be accompanying you on this journey…"
The introductions proceeded… and we'll leave it here till the next chapter.
