Guess what? 2nd Chapter! Woo-Hoo! Please remember to R&R.
1 Chapter 1: So it Begins
There was fire and panic throughout the streets. People were frantically grabbing their few belongings and crying. Death and destruction loomed in the air and gave off the sense that the end was near.
Kato calmly walked through the turmoil and watched as hundreds perished before her eyes.
"Please!" a young woman, cried, running up to Kato. She produced a small bundle and lifted it up to Kato.
"Please! You must take my baby! He'll be safe with you!" The woman fell to her knees and lifted the wrapped child up.
Kato stared at the child then looked back at the mother. She nodded and reached for the child but stopped when a beam of light blinded her. The light glared and was followed by a scream. The senshi looked down to see the woman along with her child dead at her feet.
Kato screamed and looked up to find a woman grinning wickedly at her. The woman had long flowing red hair and wore a dark navy blue dress. In her hand was a long staff with a crystal ball attached to it. Kato knew immediately that the woman was called "Beryl".
The woman laughed heartily and traced words across the girl's mind.
You're too late Silvery Moon Angel. Now fear me.
Kato shot up from her slumber and stared numbly in the air. How many times has she had that dream? Every night the dream came to her and reminded her of her mission: To prevent the downfall of Earth. Since she could remember she was born with powers like no other and when her parents died she was alone in the world to master them. Now that she was of age, Kato knew the time to defend this planet was dawning. But things seemed to be becoming stranger and her mission seemed more distant since a new hero called Sailor Moon appeared on the scene. Kato felt it was her duty to learn more of her and what she was here for.
She stared at the alarm clock besides her bed and gasped. 4:50. She had ten minutes to get to the library before they closed!
"Great! I take a short nap and oversleep!" she fussed while putting her shoes on. Kato then grabbed her purse and ran out the door.
Luckily, the ditzy girl managed to make it there on time and obtain the books she needed. She walked quietly back home but stopped at an eatery called "Crown Parlor".
"Maybe I should have one of those world famous milkshakes everyone swears by," Kato said softly to herself. She reached in her pocket and pulled out three dollars.
"Why not?" she reasoned and walked in the parlor.
Inside it was pretty crowded with kids on dates and celebrating sport victories with their teams. As luck would have it not one table was empty. Kato sighed and began to walk out the door when she heard someone called her name.
"Kato!"
Kato turned around and spotted Usagi waving at her. From the moment she transferred to Crossroads Jr. High she liked Usagi. She was a girl with long ankle length blonde hair done up in two Odagoes with pig tails flowing from them. Her face held certain innocence with her warm smile and big blue eyes.
Kato waved back and walked over to Usagi's table.
"Hey Kato! What's new?" Usagi asked scooting over to make room for her to sit.
Kato sat down. "Oh, nothing much. I just got back from the library."
The blonde girl nodded and motioned towards the girls at the table.
"Kato you know Ami and Makoto already since they are in our English class. These two though are Rei and Minako. They go to a different school. Everyone this is Kato!" Usagi beamed.
Everyone smiled at Kato and said hi.
"So you read also?" Ami shyly asked Kato.
Kato looked up from her menu. "Mostly but, I just got these books for some research."
"Ancient Kingdoms? Moon Mythology?" Makoto said reading the covers off the books. "Pretty deep."
Rei spoke up next. "You're interested in the Moon? Why is that?" she asked staring at Kato intensely.
"You know, just something to do I guess. With all this talk on that new hero Sailor Moon I'd thought maybe I'd learn a little about her," Kato answered.
Minako snickered and turned to Kato. "Sailor Moon? That wannabe? Why'd you wanna learn about her?"
"Minako! Sailor Moon is the best at crime fighting in the world! She's practically a diva!" Usagi blurted out.
At hearing this Kato came into a fit of giggles which quickly became hearty laughs. The rest of the girls laughed too and Usagi (who sat dimly for a moment) joined in.
After chatting a bit more about the latest fashions and juicy gossip Kato found that it was time to go.
"Well it was a blast but I have to go. It was nice seeing you guys! Later!" she said gathering her books and breaking to the door.
"Hey Kato! I'll walk you home tomorrow after school! See Ya!" Usagi called after her.
Kato turned and nodded before waving one last time.
