Chapter Two: New Nega-Demon; Storytellers

"My great king what do we do now? The time warp has opened and the power crystals of the legendary Guardians have reappeared!" a short woman whined. The darkness cloaked her and her companions in shadow. The two great rulers were hidden by an even colder darkness.

"Destroy the crystals as they appear. Oh and we must begin our search. Here is the first target," the great king sighed tossing down a picture. Upon it was a silver haired college girl.

"I'll take this one! Come with me my henchmen!" one of the seven dark warriors giggled standing. She vanished in a puff of smoke with a howling laugh.

Trista walked with Diamond and Beth to the main office where two other girls sat. Trista signaled her two companions to sit down while she went to the secretary. A few moments later Trista returned with two schedules.

"Beth and Diamond meet Amara Tenoh and Michelle Kaioh, my partners. Amara, Michelle please meet Beth Dugan of Crystal Tokyo and Diamond Fields of Earth, our newest knights," Trista said. The four greeted each other. Amara was about 6'6" with dirty blond hair cut in a very boyish style and daring blue eyes. Michelle was about 6'4" with a long ponytail of marine blue hair and pale green eyes. The two smiled.

"Nice to meet you," Amara said. Beth and Diamond nodded to her and shook her hand.

"It is a great honor to meet someone from Crystal Tokyo," Michelle said taking their hands.

"Well it is a great honor to meet you," Diamond said. Trista had told them that they'd be meeting her partners Uranus and Neptune today and Diamond had never met the outer scouts.

"Now let us hurry to my class room so that I can explain the situation," Trista said. Quickly the four girls stood and prepared to hurry through the vacant halls. Trista led the way, waving to a couple of teachers on her way. Once they had found the small room filled with tables, sewing machines, cloth and spools of thread Trista had them sit down close to her desk.

"So explain why we are here.(yawn).so early," Amara complained. Trista smiled and pulled out her Garnet Rod.

"Close your eyes and concentrate upon this. I'll show you all I know," Trista told them. The four warriors shut theirs eyes and let the power flow through them.

"I'm dizzy!" Diamond whined as she put her head between her knees.

"Calm down. It's just cause you concentrated," Beth sighed. Diamond shot her a glare. "Just trying to make you laugh," Beth smiled. Diamond groaned.

"Who.are these legendary Guardians Trista? I've never heard of them," Michelle said sitting up straighter.

"What do you mean? Don't you know your own guardian?" Diamond gasped jumping to her feet. Michelle and Amara shook their heads. "Oh my gosh! The legendary Guardians are the strongest forces in the entire universe, their center is the strongest," Diamond started as she began to pace.

"Center? What the heck are you talking about?" Amara wondered as she sat up interested. Diamond turned to them and her face remained blank as she held up a crystal rose. Trista, who knew the whole story, loaned the girl her power so that Diamond's memories could be shown to the two girls.

"Many millions of years before the Silver Millennium there was nothing. No planets, no stars, no people, no light save for one small crystal, which was the life support for many other dimensions. It became lonely and created children. Ten in total, the last one is the strongest. The crystal took the form of a mother-like woman and cared for them until they reached their peak power and then.they just stopped growing. One day she saw that they were board and asked what was wrong.

"They complained that there was nothing to do so she had them each create a planet and she created the stares. Once they had completed their planet to their liking she gave them children to look after and make them the ruler of their world. One day the strongest revealed that there was a dark side that had been created and in order to make sure that their people were never destroyed they would have to sacrifice their own lives once and generation to protect them. They agreed and each generation were killed in some way. Then came the day when a Princess Serena was born. The strongest, who was the protector of the moon, joined the queen and told the queen the whole truth as she had done many other times.

"The queen said that she had known all along and that she was happy to know that her baby would be in good hands. The strongest was very happy and promised the queen that she would protect her daughter until the day that she became queen, something none of them had ever done. All through the planets they all promised the same thing. Then came the big night that lives in my memory still today. I was really, really young and just begging to train under Prince Darien's father.

"We got news that there was a shadow forming by Pluto and we were to be ready for a full scale invasion from the dark side. We were ready.well I was watching but they were ready. The Guardians all prepared for a fight, and it started down by Pluto. When I heard that they were attacking I asked my father again to tell me of the Guardians. He sat down with me and we watched the sky, all this happened on a night clear enough to see all the way to Pluto. Anyway he began with Pluto. He said, 'Upon Pluto is the Ice Guardian Mistress Winter. Upon Uranus is the Crystal Guardian Mistress Crystan. Upon Neptune is the Hope and Light Guardian Master Hopelighter. Upon Saturn is the Earth Guardian the one we call Mother Nature. Upon Jupiter is the Time and Lighting Guardian Mistress Oracle. Upon Venus is the Love Guardian Cupid. Upon Mars is the Wind Guardian Mistress Windstorm. Upon Mercury is the Fire Guardian Mistress of Fire the Phoenix. We have the Water Guardian Water Sprite. But the moon, the moon has the strongest. She is the Moon Guardian the Huntress of the Moon. They will save us.'

"As we watched the darkness spread over Pluto and the word was called, 'Winter has died.' Then to Uranus, 'So falls Crystan,' then to Neptune and 'Down comes Hopelighter,' and on to Saturn, 'Mother Nature no longer grows.' Then to Jupiter, 'Her ladyship Oracle holds no power.' On to Venus and 'Cupid's arrows no longer fly,' then to Mars and 'The winds have ceased,' then to Mercury and 'The fires of passion have been put out,' then.they began to come near us. I was afraid, afraid that our Guardian would die but something began to draw the powers of evil away. I looked to our moon and saw a bright glow coming from the very top. The darkness began to move that way.

"We heard the cries before anyone else. 'She lives! She lives and has called up the powers! Cupid's arrows still fly! His arrows fly! They all live! They live!' someone shouted. I later found out that Cupid and the others had escaped to the moon with their charges for protection under their center. The light grew stronger as another light joined it. I was told that Queen Serenity had joined the battle. The darkness sent spears out and one of the lights faded but the other only grew stronger and within seconds the powers were all gone.

"We heard cheering for almost an hour before terrible news hit us. It turned out the darkness had been able to kill Queen Serenity. Princess Serena was still a little baby when the attack had happened so the Huntress had to take the throne. She ruled for nearly eight years before the darkness tried again. This time, though, they were smarter. They sent attacks to every planet at once. Again we heard the death cries by our people as we fought off our attackers. I learned to be a grown up that night as I watched my fellow pages fall in battle. Prince Darien fought by my side and instructed me in his own secret moves that we could get the upper hand. In the end we succeed but learned of the hard price. Our Guardian, as well as every other Guardian, had perished I was crushed to learn that even the Huntress had been killed but not before seeing her truth love die in her arms. The rulers were perfectly save but.the Guardians were gone. We mourned for days and I expected the eight-year-old princess of the moon to take over. Joy spread through our lands when we learned that the Huntress had been killed with ease because she'd used the last of her magical ability to bring Serenity back to life. That is all I remember," Diamond said as she dropped to her knees. Michelle and Amara stared at her, the images of their guardians stuck in their heads.

"How.how come they haven't shown up here.on earth?" Amara struggled out, she remembered all the times she could have used someone to protect her. "Probably.because their souls were captured by the enemy," Beth answered them stiffly. She met their steady gaze with her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Michelle gasped.

"The enemy has ten crystals in their possession in this time. When they killed each Guardian they caught their soul inside a black crystal and locked them away so they could not return. Beryl was the leader of the operation, even then preparing to come back and take control of the Silver Millennium that was drawing near," Beth responded.

"They.knew that early about the Silver Millennium!" Diamond gasped. Beth nodded.

"The Huntress herself told me. She is.was my teacher before I came. She told me a lot of things abut what was happening.like the fact that she has her real soul back and the enemy is looking for it," Beth told them.

"You mean.they are looking to re-destroy the Huntress and take her soul back!" Michelle cried. Beth nodded.

"Yes. She was able to break free and took her friends with her but she wasn't strong enough to break them free. We have to find their Earth forms and help them awaken their real souls inside their bodies," Beth said standing.

"Before the enemy finds them and destroys them in this time!" Diamond agreed taking Beth's hand.

"Count me in," Trista said softly as she set her hand on theirs. "I'm always looking for a new adventure," Amara smiled as she joined them.

"Amara and I are a team. Where she goes, I go," Michelle said adding her hand.

"Good! Then let us find the silver haired one first," Diamond concluded.
