Mariko March sighed. Her enigmatic friend Glenki had left Canaan without a
single word of explanation. Now, she was left to her work and nothing
else, and while she enjoyed her job, she needed some air.
"Hey, Bub, I'm taking the trash out!"
She slowly ascended the stairs that led her up to the surface world. The large iron door swung open before her, and she moved out under the stars. Far above her head, the full Earth floated through space. Mariko took a deep breathe, savoring the moment before she had to return underground. "What a nice night...."
"I'd have to agree, Miss March." a voice announced from no where.
Mari-chan looked around frantically. There didn't seem to be anyone in the alley with her... "Who are you!?! What do you want?" She got in a fighting stance.
A guy with dark brown hair and medium build stepped out from behind a rusting dumpster. "Miss March, Miss March, that's no way to treat someone who's here only to help you find your potential."
Mariko dropped her hands, and got a look of confusion on her face. "Potential? What are you talking about?"
Suddenly, a form appeared behind her, and she could feel herself falling. Lithe hands caught her. She caught a glimpse of a small girl with an insane look on her face just before she lost consciousness.
"Oh yes, dear, you have so much potential...." the boy laughed.
Erika watched Glenki walk. She could hardly believe the determination in her friend's stride. "I wish I had that kind of direction...." In all the years that Eri had known the lime-haired princess of Jupiter, she had never seen doubt in those soft pink eyes. Now was no exception. Even in this moment of uncertainty, Glen looked utterly confident in her purpose.
"Do you have any idea where we're going?" Mick asked a little cynically. Erika thought he was a good balance for the strong Sailor Europa. He often got her to find flaws she would not normally see due to her great belief in herself.
Glenki stopped, and looked back at Micheal darkly. Without warning, a plume of smoke and fire shot to the heavens over her shoulder. Glen casually looked over her shoulder and smiled. "Micheal, darling, I think that's the first place we should look." She took off down the street without missing a beat.
The son of Uranus grimaced. "Like you knew that was going to happen...."
Erika had to grin. "Those two...."
The three Sailor Senshi crept ever closer toward the gate that separated them from the small walled-in courtyard where they'd seen the explosion originate. Glenki looked back at her two friends. Micheal and Erika, also known as the warriors Sailor Miranda and Sailor Triton, respectively, had enough power between them to destroy cities, drive even the soundest mind to insanity, and were virtually immortal. They were intimidating people to be in the presence of to the ordinary human. It was good then, that Glenki was currently in her super-hero guise of Sailor Europa, then.
Christa, now Sailor Titan was ready and waiting on the top of a nearby roof, was currently psychically linking the Moon Senshi. "I see... Two enemies. And... the Omegas, oh my! Poseidon and Aphrodite are injured and down!" There was a loud crash, followed by a short cry and a sickening thud. "There goes Hermes... Ares is hurt, but still fighting. And Zeus is protecting Neo-Moon."
There was a mental groan from both Glenki and Lars, who was on the other side of the courtyard, observing things as Sailor Io. This sort of reaction from the soldiers of Jupiter's moons was not unusual, their other brother Luc, or Sailor Zeus, was so enamored with the Neo-Moon Princess, that he had forsaken his own family. Europa, disgusted though she was with her older brother, quickly came up with a strategy, "Miranda and I will first confront the enemy, the rest of you stay put for the moment, and be ready to back us up." There was an almost disappointed look on Triton's face, but Glenki needed only narrow her eyes, and Erika reluctantly nodded.
