Chapter 22 …… The Meeting at Ami's (Part II)
"Sailor Saturn. The last of the Sailor Scouts. Trust me we don't want her to show up. She's deadly." Says Serena.
"Serena's right. You don't remember do you?" says Rei looking at Ami, Lita and Mina.
"No are we supposed to?" asks Mina softly.
"I'm not telling the story yet. She can't come out until the next three scouts show themselves."
"Serenity I know the next scout." Says Rei softly.
"Are you sure? I can't feel her."
"I know, but I can. You know her human form. I have met her before too. I know her scout form better though. Do you remember the one scout I always talked about?"
"I think but she's got to be a couple of thousand years old. And she's stuck where she is."
"No she's here in town." Says Rei before looking at the rest of the group.
"Wait a minute Ami you knew Rei was upset about something. How?" says Serena trying to change the subject as she sees the clueless look on everyones face.
"She knew I was upset?" asks Rei.
"I did know. I saw it in the water." Says Ami before she gets up and walks into the bathroom. She comes back out with a basin of water.
"Your remembering what you can do with your powers." Says Serena.
"Yeah I do. Watch this." Says Ami as she holds her hand over the basin and closes her eyes. Slowly the water rises up and forms a planets symbol with a door behind it.
"Ami stop." Says Rei as she pushes Ami's hand away from the basin. Causing the water to fall back into the basin with a splash.
Ami's eyes snap open as Rei shoves her hand out of the way, "What was that for. What did the water show?"
"Nothing it was nothing." Says Rei as she takes the basin and carries it into the bathroom and dumps it out in the sink. She comes back into the bedroom and sees everyone but Serena giving her odd looks. Serena just stares out the window. Rei follows Serena's gaze and sees that it has started to rain.
"They are all here." Says Serena softly.
"Who's all here?" asks Darien as he looks out the window.
"The three lost scouts. They are all here in town. And they know who they are." Says Rei. She closes her eyes and says something softly, suddenly a bright light fills the room and then dies again, and Sailor Mars stands there.
"Should we change too?" asks Lita standing up.
"Sorry girls and Darien but it's something Rei and I have to do. And I have to show you something." Says Serena as she stands up and walks over to Rei.
"Are you sure?" whispers Rei.
Serena nods and looks at the rest of the group. "Darien I know you saw me in another form. And you were right I do have another form."
"I knew it." Says Darien.
"Scouts Mina isn't your scout leader I am."
"But the princess doesn't fight." Says Mina.
Serena closes her eyes and mumbles something and a bright light fills the room. Once it dies Serena is standing there in a Sailor uniform like that of the scouts. But she has a silver mask over her eyes and a fancy tiara covers her forehead.
"Ok I'm lost." Says Lita staring at Serena.
"I am Sailor Moon. Your leader and strongest scout. Mina I'm sorry but you aren't second in command either. Rei is, she has always known my secrets and she knows what we are going to up against."
"So the princess of the moon is Sailor Moon. I never knew of this fact. Queen Serenity never told me." Says a tall girl with short dirty blonde hair.
"Me neither. But we aren't the main scouts. We are the ones from the outer world." Says another girl with shoulder length sea green hair.
"Three who fear the fourth. Do they know we are watching them?" asks yet another girl who is the tallest and has long green hair and holds a tall staff that looks like a key.
"I don't think so. But two know we are out here somewhere. Neptune can you see anything in your mirror?"
"No Uranus I can't. Someone else is in that apartment and she is blocking my mirror."
"I think we should show ourselves. They need to know we are here."
"Pluto we can't. Saturn will awaken soon because we never went dormant. She needs all the scouts to awaken before she can show herself and now that sailor moon has come forward there is no stopping her." Says Uranus.
"Well there is. My forbidden attack will stop her." Says Pluto.
"You can't do that. Give up your own life. I did that on the moon kingdom and it was horrible. I couldn't stop Saturn the first time what makes you think you can do it this time?" says Neptune.
"I'm telling them who I am. They will need us more than ever." Says Pluto before she jumps from one roof-top to another making her way to the window to the room where are the scouts are.
"Come on Uranus we can't let her go alone." Says Neptune as she follows Pluto.
Uranus sighs and follows her two friends.
"Sailor Moon?" says Ami, her voice filled with question.
"Yes Mercury?"
"Well why come forward now?" asks Ami.
Rei turns her back to the window without seeing the three forms jumping from roof to roof.
"I have to. She will awaken very soon and you need my strength."
Suddenly a loud crack of thunder rips through the air followed by lightning. Everyone looks at the window and sees three shadowed forms on the window sill outside.
Hotaru perks up and then she stands up slowly. While staring at the closed bedroom door.
"Oh Hotaru something wrong?" asks Chad.
"No everything is fine. Um when they come out please tell Darien I went home."
"Would you like a drive? It's much safer than walking." Says Alex standing up.
"Sure but I don't know the way." Says Hotaru.
"I do." Says Chad.
"Ok we will all go together. I'm sure they won't mind." Says Alex as he and Chad walk to the front door.
Hotaru stands in the living room for a moment and smiles, 'They are all here. Good they will need all the power they can get for what I will bring upon this place.' She thinks. Hotaru then follows the guys out of the apartment.
