Chapter 06 - By The Crescent Moon Light
Daniel and Rick ran by the streets of downtown Mornington as if they had to save their lives (well, I would do the same if I had received a ransom note like that). All the way they thanked all their gods that Fallen Institute wasn't too far from Main Avenue, where almost all the stores were located, including the Game Center and the Ice Cream Shop. If they knew Bradley and William very well, the Game Center was the right place to go for them.
Soon, they were able to see three boys walking down the avenue, almost going into the Game Center. Two of them wore the jacket of Fallen College, while the third one had a dark green jacket over his shoulders. Rick made a small movement with his head and Daniel slowed down and both of them took a deep breath to stop panting.
"Hey, Kenneth!", called Rick, after starting to breathe normally. "Can you come here just for a sec?"
"Huh?", Kenneth halted and looked back. He didn't know why, but something just said that he had to go back. "You two, have fun", he said to Bradley and William, who just kept looking to Kenneth. "I'll go talk with him."
"Do as you wish", answered William. "See'ya."
Kenneth ran back to where were Daniel and Rick. No words were necessary to explain that they had a very serious problem on their hands; that could be read on the two cousins' eyes. The ransom note soon was with Kenneth, who read it carefully before saying anything. That sly Kazeko was smart, but just couldn't help using old villain plots...
After reading the note, the Guardian of Jupiter took his pendant out of his t-shirt and spent some time looking at the symbol. *It's almost like the number '4'*, he thought, noticing how it was shining with the sunlight. "We have spare time until the 'meeting'. Let's find Cat."
"She must be heading back to the girls' dormitory", said Daniel, feeling his hands cold and putting them into his jacket's pockets. "The best choice we have know is go back and wait for her."
"You're right", said Rick. "And it's safer there than here", and they started walking back to the Fallen Institute.
***
When the three boys got at the boys' dormitory, they were startled with the noise of kitchenware that came from inside. They opened the door very carefully, trying not to call anyone's attention.
"What are the three of yeh doin' there?", asked Cat, moments before seeing three boys jumping very high and yelling.
"God, do you ALWAYS have to scare us to death?!", yelled Rick, breathing hardly.
"Hey, do I look like a ghost?", said Cat. *Mental note: That scene has to go to my next book.* "So, why were yeh sneakin' in like that?"
"We heard some strange noises coming from inside and...", began Daniel, right before a white cloud went out from the kitchen. "OK, I understood. I think we'll have to get used to Tieko's way of cooking."
"But we have more serious things to worry about than Tieko's cooking skills", said Kenneth, handing the note to Cat... and putting it in his pocket when he saw Aindrea sitting on the couch. "Who is he?"
"No need ta worry about secrets, Kenneth", said Arthur. "We are alone here and... he's also a Guardian."
Aindrea stopped watching TV and looked back. "I suppose he is the one you were talking about...", he stood up and went to Kenneth's direction. "I'm Aindrea Terence... Amerin of Neptune."
"Whew", sighed Kenneth, handing again the note to Cat. "Read this. We have a BIG problem now and... is there anything else that I don't know yet?"
A female voice, with some coughs, answered from the kitchen. "You bet -cough, cough- we just found two Guardians, Aindrea and Arthur."
"I think the next thing I'll manage to do here is install soundproof panels on the walls", said Kenneth. "There're too many secrets being said aloud here. So, Arthur, who are you?"
"I'm Art of Endymion, Earth Destiny Kishi", he answered, laughing.
"A different type of name and title", said Rick, sitting on the couch. "Do you know why?"
"My memory is coming back slowly, but I remember that once I almost harmed Amerin very badly", said Arthur, while Cat raised an eyebrow reading the note. "A blue-haired girl stopped me... her name was..."
"Kyn", said Aindrea. "Kyn of Saphir, I can remember that. Her name was of the same type as Art's, her family name being not the name of a planet, like mine's."
Tieko came out of the kitchen and sat by the table, still with flour on her dark black hair, almost blue. "I just can't understand why there are so many Guardians being revealed now."
"We can think about that later", said Cat. "Now we have more important tings to tink about..."
"Finally", sighed Daniel, in relief. "I think we have all the Planet Guardians here. What will you do about Martin?"
"What else?", asked Cat, taking her pendant out of her blouse. "We're goin' there at the time Kazeko wants. And...", she added. "Daniel and Rick stay here to protect Tieko. She is the one Kazeko is lookin' fur."
"HEY!", shouted Arthur. "And if Kazeko doesn't show up and comes here to get her?"
"She doesn't know that Aindrea is a Guardian, so he can be with us", said Tieko, with her arms over the table. "I'll be fine."
Kenneth sat by the table and kept in silence for some seconds, trying to think in any kind of plan to finish the battle as a winner, rescuing Martin and sending Kazeko back to where she had come from. He just couldn't understand why everyone had stopped talking and he felt as if a dozen eyes were glaring at him, waiting for an answer. Nobody had said that he was the leader of the...
"C'mon, you aren't saying that I'm the leader, are you?", Kenneth asked, raising his head with surprise in his eyes.
"I think you can remember something from our previous lives", said Aindrea. "We don't have our leader here yet, so we have to choose other one while we don't find Selen of Moon."
"Wait-a-sec, shouldn't Cat be a better choice? She was the first one to remember she was a Guardian!", said Kenneth, reading on everyone's eyes that they had already made their choice. "Sheesh... I think I have no choice, right? So let's try to figure out something to rescue Martin while keeping Tieko at a safe place. The ones who are NOT Guardians have any idea?"
Daniel and Rick raised their hands and quickly began to explain their plan, while Arthur, Cat, Kenneth, Aindrea and Tieko gathered around the two cousins, willing to hear what they had to say. Everybody just hoped that they had a good plan, especially Arthur. A pain in his heart told him that he had lost something very precious once... and he swore it would never happen again.
Never.
***
The clock never ran so slowly like in that afternoon. Everybody was at the boys' dormitory, gathered in the TV room, waiting for William and Bradley to return from the town and waiting for the time of the challenge to come. They just couldn't take another episode of Pokémon or Digimon or they would just burst out of anxiety.
"C'mon, who changed up to Cartoon Network?!", asked Kenneth, nervous. "No, stop! DON'T change it to Sony!", he continued, after seeing the TV control on Daniel's hands.
"Don't you like 'That 70's Show'?", asked Daniel. "OK, then, which channel do you all want?"
"Leave it on CNN. Maybe they have something interesting there...", sighed Tieko, who laid on the couch like a bag.
"Man, those two REALLY are having a good time at the Game Center", said Cat, stretching her arms. "Or they got lost again..."
"Hey, the news!", said Aindrea, pointing at the TV screen. The symbol of a crescent moon was above the main anchor of the news program.
"... and Tokyo still is being attacked night after night by strange monsters. Nobody knows what they want, but many people are being found with low energy in their bodies. Surprisingly, they all recover when these five girls give them a pink crystal", said the man at the TV, while the image changed to the figure of a girl with funny ponytails. "Since the last year, these five girls, who call themselves 'The Sailor Senshi' or 'Sailor Team', have been fighting against all sort of monsters. Their leader is the blond with the round ponytails, Sailor Moon, but nobody knows their true identity."
The image of the crescent moon and of Sailor Moon made everyone stare at the TV screen and time in the room seemed to stop for some moments. Sailor Moon... the Sailor Senshi... what did they have in their history that was so familiar to most of the people in the TV room? Cat, Art, Aindrea, Kenneth and Tieko knew that those two round ponytails were familiar to them... and carried many memories of a distant time to their minds. Memories that they didn't want to let fade away.
Nevertheless, Aindrea's alarm watch bipped five times, bringing everyone back to normal. "Nine-thirty", he said. "Time to go..."
"Let's follow Rick's plan, then", said Arthur. "We can't let Kazeko think that she's in this building, all alone, so we'll take her to Fallen College. Daniel and Rick will stay there with her, as they know better how and where they can hide."
"The Guardians and Arthur go to the gym, transformed. We can't let her know all our true identities, she already knows who Arthur is", said Cat. "Aindrea will stay with Daniel, Rick and Tieko, as he is aGuardian who Kazeko doesn't know yet. Understood? Any questions?"
"No questions", said Kenneth, with his pendant in his hand. "Jupiter Green POWER!"
"So it's time. Saturn Violet POWER!"
"May God help us all... Neptune Blue POWER!"
"Take care", said Arthur, looking at Tieko. "Earth Destiny POWER!"
***
Ten o'clock. Just the time Kazeko had set up. Right in the middle of Fallen Gym, Kazeko stood floating in midair, waiting for the Guardians to come and be caught on her trap... or to take her hostage away. She just couldn't deal with Martin writing down every single step she took during the hours they were together. Sometimes she thought she had seen smoke coming out of the small notebook and of the pencil he used to write on it.
"Would you PLEASE stop taking notes?!", she yelled.
"Well, it's not everyday that I'm taken as a hostage by an extra-dimensional being", Martin answered in his low voice and smiling.
"I should have chosen somebody else..."
"WHAT? Spoilsport..."
"Shut UP! It's about time they...", said Kazeko, when the gym door opened. "Finally."
Art was the first one to enter the gym, followed by Gin and Siren. Their footsteps echoed through the gym as they got closer to Kazeko and her hostage. Not everyone had noticed it, but, as Aindrea's eyes, which color changed to gold when he was as Amerin, also Gin and Siren's eyes changed color. Gin's eyes were light grey, while Siren's were violet as her clothes. Only Art's eyes continued the same color as when he was Arthur and that was another mystery to be solved... later.
"We're here as you wanted, Kazeko", said Gin, stepping forward the trio. "Release him."
"My, do you really think that I would let him go BEFORE I win the battle? You must be kidding! He is the other source of energy I was sent after!", laughed Kazeko, kicking Martin to the side. "But I still have to finish my task! I have to get that girl and take them both with me."
"Only over MY dead body", growled Art, whose hands began to shine. "Soil Graveyard, RISE!!!", he shouted, raising his right hand, as if he was giving an order to something. The floor began to shake, while a part of it rose and covered Kazeko, burying her alive.
That scene shocked Gin and Siren. They knew that Art's powers were much bigger than theirs, but they didn't realize HOW much bigger it was. Siren's 'Violet Razor Storm' wasn't enough to kill someone like Kazeko and Gin didn't know yet his true power. How many mysteries would still be hidden in their memories of past lives...?
But the trio didn't have time to think about it. Right when Gin was about to congratulate Art for his good work, the pile of shattered cement began to shake and a strong wind came from it, lifting the three Guardians off the floor, making them crash into the nearest wall.
"You are stronger than the others", said Kazeko, while the wind united to make her female body again. "But your powers never will be able to kill me!"
"Dammit!", said Art, raising his right arm to his side. Gin did the same and swords appeared through their arms. Siren made her glaive appear by her side. "Physical attacks won't harm her! Power up your blades!"
"Youkai!", said Gin, without noticing he had used another language. "Jupiter Green Power!", and he jumped with his sword over his head. Sparkles of eletric energy were coming from the blade. "Green Thunder BLAST!!!"
"Shinne!", yelled Siren, also using another language. "Saturn Violet Power!", she bent down and crouched to attack Kazeko's legs with her glaive. "Silent SHOCK!!!"
Kazeko yelled in pain when the three blades sank into her windy body and fell to her knees when the three warriors jumped back and prepared themselves to defense. But she was laughing evilly when she looked up to them, a mad look on her eyes. Siren felt a cold chill down her spine and, suddenly, a scene from one of her books came to her mind.
***
It was a day that she would never forget. The day when the shy little girl, daughter of a common family of Saturn, would meet the Messiah, her princess. She was very excited. Not everyone had the honor of seeing her Highness and she would be taken to the House of Onyx, chosen within all the girls in her planet.
The blond girl wore a white plain dress when she was taken to see the Messiah herself. And there She was, holding the Silence Glaive in one of her hands and another glaive, with a different blade, in the other hand.
"You shall be sent to Pluto now, child of Saturn", She said, touching the girl's left shoulder with the blade of the Silence Glaive. "This is your glaive. Now you may go... and be brave, Siren of Saturn."
Those were the last words she heard before being sent to a long journey.
***
"SIREN!", shouted Art, bringing her back to reality. "LOOK OUT!!!"
Kazeko was very close to Saturn Guardian and quickly made her hand turn into wind again, using it to choke her enemy. There were too much wind and Siren wasn't able to breathe; it was ironic, to choke with that amount of air surrounding her face. She tried to escape, but another gulf of wind kept her arms and legs wrapped up as a rope would do.
"Don't come any closer!", shouted Kazeko, when Art and Gin stepped forward. "Otherwise, I'll make the gym roof come down and kill you all!"
Art gasped. Martin was still in the gym and he didn't have any kind of power to protect him from the weight of the roof. But he was one of the energy sources she was looking for, she wouldn't kill him...
... would she?
"STOP RIGHT THERE!", a female voice shouted, coming from the roof.
That startled Kazeko, who left Siren go. If she had kept the wind on Siren's face for some seconds longer, she would be unconscious.
Gin and Art looked up to see who had said that. The lights of the gym suddently were turned on and the face of the girl, of beautiful silver hair, could be seen.
"Selen of Moon!"
Daniel and Rick ran by the streets of downtown Mornington as if they had to save their lives (well, I would do the same if I had received a ransom note like that). All the way they thanked all their gods that Fallen Institute wasn't too far from Main Avenue, where almost all the stores were located, including the Game Center and the Ice Cream Shop.
