The Child of the Prophecy, Chapter Seventeen

The two cats, Darien, four inner scouts and two outer scouts (that were left) were sitting in the safety and warmth of the temple. The scouts wanted to know what they had felt and Darien wanted the story. And they heard it. And tears poured down their faces, feeling sorry for themselves and for their dead friends.

Darien felt an arm go round his shoulder and he smiled up at Mina, whose arm it was, trying to console him in the death of their friends.

'Why didn't they tell us?'

'Lita, they couldn't, they didn't want to have to say goodbye and there wasn't enough time.' Luna felt her pain but she couldn't explain it any better.

'Why did the crystal need to be shattered?'

'Because, Amy, the power of the Silence Glaive wouldn't be enough to destroy the evil, also it was the seal of Serena's death.'

'Huh?'

'You all have forbidden attacks that will kill you if you use them -'

'Why do we have them then?'

'Because Michelle, they can be used to protect the world if you need to. Trista's attack was the Dark Dome Close. Tara's the Silence Glaive Destroy. And Serena's Silver Crystal Shatter. We don't know what yours are, but you will if you need them.'

'So what do we do now? I mean how are we to explain their deaths to everyone, especially their families?'

'Trista didn't have a family and Tara and Serena told theirs themselves. Leave the explanations to find themselves. It'll all work out.' Luna tried to reassure them.

'But for now scouts, we have work to do. You need to pick a new leader.' Artemis knew they were being hard but the enemy would attack them for destroying his plans.

'Why?'

'Alex, Darien's nightmares were sent by someone to stop the child from being good. Now his plans are destroyed, he is going to want revenge, and you'll have to stop him.'

'Ok Artemis, but who?'

'Rei, didn't you want to be leader?'

Everyone looked at the quiet scout of fire. She hadn't said anything since she had been told about Serena's death. She looked away while quietly saying, 'I always did want to be the leader, but Serena was the best one, we couldn't have done anything without her and now she's gone, I really don't want to be leader.' Amy and Lita leaned over and wrapped their arms around their friend trying to comfort her. ' I was always hard on her and never told her how much I loved her and how glad I was that she was my friend.' Rei cried into the arms of her friends. They knew how she felt, because they felt it too.

'Alex -'

'What is it Luna?'

'I think that you should be the new leader.' Luna's comment shocked the whole room.

'Why me? I'm nothing like Serena is, I mean . was.'

'Yes, but you also have the power to destroy the youmas, like Serena could.'

'Luna's right.'

'Yeah, be leader.'

'We need someone who'll be strong to lead us out of this.'

'Go on Alex, for us?

'Ok. I'll do it.'

'Good, let's get to work!'

And so they trained under the new leadership of Uranus. They knew their battle would begin soon and they were looking forward to destroying the person who had taken their beloved Serena, Tara and Trista away from them. And it came the very next day.



So the battle of good v. evil begins again. How'll win? (And don't think u know, cz I don't!)
