:~*Chapter Two*~: The Guardians Of All



It had been about twenty years since Tobius had left the Moon to go to Earth to find his parents. He sighed, realizing that now that he had reached his goal, he was apprehensive to make the first step. He knew it was not going to be easy. He had to find an easy way in, hopefully to help the situation for the best.

He was walking down one of the more crowded streets oh the Crossroads, and was preparing to cross the road, when a familiar face caught his eye. He stared, paused in mid-step, as the young girl walked right past him, flashing a wonderful smile to all she could, himself included, and kept on going. Her hair was a perfect pink color, her eyes a deep ruby red. Her hairstyle was quite odd on Earth, though not so much in her home. A small gray cat walked briskly beside her, a small gold crescent moon on its forehead. He turned his route and followed the small child, hoping to find what he had been missing for more than a thousand years in doing so...

The shadows were long on his face...the face of a warrior..He stood before his Empress, a frown spread across his full lips.. he knew naught of how to approach her, but it had taken her years to allow any one to see her. She was stunningly beautiful, but her eyes reflected her hatred for all. They almost spoiled her beauty.. almost. She was said to be cautious around all, but her power exceeded all others.. she had nothing to fear from anyone. "My Queen," he said, his voice fearful yet strong, "I have found Prince Tobius. I suggest we attack immediately, before the others.."

"SILENCE!" Queen Hannibelle's voice was hard as stone and could pierce through a raging Nor'Easter. Serlio Serpent, a member of the Fifth Alliance, shuddered under her hateful voice. Queen Hannibelle lifted her arm and pointed a finger at Serlio. "I am your queen," she said, "And I take orders from no one. If I wanted to forge an attack I would have made the order to do so. You have disgraced yourself for imposing an order on myself and the High Counsel. Go to your Alliance and inform them that there will be no attack held just yet. So go! NOW!" and with that Serlio stood up, bowed, and turned on his heel to go back into the light.

Queen Hannibelle was alone after the doors to the throne were closed. She lifted her hand and waved a circle in the air. A glowing orb appeared before her. In it was the youthful face of the one she loved. She sighed deeply. She

knew she could never have him, he was of a richer quality. A good quality. She had no quality and was evil. She couldn't stand the thought of him being so close when she couldn't have him. Oh well, she thought, I'll need to stop

this self pitying and start focusing on the destruction of the sailorscouts. Queen Hannibelle began to wonder what her husband, Mahalika, would do to her if he found out about her straying emotions. She waved her hand in the air

and Tobius' face disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Rini was walking down the sidewalk, whistling and carrying on with a low- toned conversation with Diana when she got an odd feeling in the center of her stomach. She didn't miss a beat, however, and continued smiling and whistling and talking in her walk. That was odd, she thought. That has never happened before... I wonder if it means anything...Maybe I should just ask Diana and see if she knows what its all about. Yeah, I guess I will do that.

"Diana?" Rini whispered through the side of her mouth, pushing back the odd feeling that persisted in her gut, cutting off the small kitten in midsentence.

"Yes?" Diana whispered back, her voice high no matter how low she wanted it to be.

"I just got a strange feeling...could we go in a back alley somewhere so you can change and I can talk to you in the Arcade or something?"

"Okay..." she said slowly, curious as to what this was all about. "How about there?"

A small crack was just visible between two buildings dead ahead. The crevice was big enough for a small child around Rini's size to fit in.

"Perfect." The duo bounced off towards the break, squeezing in, and then moving as far away from the street as possible.

"Okay, stand back so I don't squish you when I turn. And try to block me from the street." Diana instructed.

"That shouldn't be too hard," Rini mumbled, moving back a little and turning so her body blocked all vision from the street beyond. "That good?" she asked.

"Exactly what I had in mind. Okay, here I go." The cat sat on its hind legs, its moon sigil glowing brightly in the dim crevice, while swirling ribbons of energy laced out from the crescent moon to surround her body in a cast of yellow energy. A bright flash of light surrounded the two as a strong energy pulse filled the area.

When Rini's eyes adjusted back to the dim surroundings, she saw standing before her a girl who was about her height. Her hair was up in a style that held two buns that were shaped like hearts on her head. Her eyes were a deep blue color, and on her forehead was a gold crescent moon sigil. She was dressed in a very odd outfit; a low cut shirt with long sleeves, revealing her curiously large bosom; a gold belt that sent six rods of pure gold that had silver balls attached at the end down between the creases in her skirt, which was a dark red color (like the rest of her outfit). About three inches below the hem of the skirt, which was quite short, two dark red boots could be seen.

The girl held a small pen above her head, and she was suddenly standing in a very similar attire as Rini's. She wore short dark blue shorts (Rini's were pink), a light yello tank (Rini's was blue), and yellow Uptowns (Rini's were blue). She touched her forehead and her sigil faded away.

The pink-headed girl grabbed her friends hand and raced back onto the street, eager to get to the Arcade.

**********

Tobius was a little shocked to see two girls instead of one emerge from between the two buildings. He recovered quickly as he realized the burst of energy he had felt earlier must have been the cat transforming into the girl. He knew he was right then, that this child was one of the Moon. He followed the two into an arcade, and saw that they had chosen a booth near the back of the establishment. He chose to sit near them, where he was able to steal pieces of their conversation.
