Title: Lost Star Light, Burn Bright

Chapter Fourteen

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***

Little Kirei Hino had been overcome with grief at the loss of her beloved mother. Even though the little one didn't quite understand death, she knew her mother wasn't coming back. Believing that her mother had joined the worshipped past queens and all powerful Gods and Goddesses of Teres. Rei herself could barely get up in the morning, only a week had it been since her death. The thought of her daughter kept her going, kept her alive. Besides the fact that a need for revenge swam in her head like a dark comfort. The others tried their best to take care of them both while still mourning themselves. The rule of the kingdom had been very subtle since Terri had died. No meetings held, no dealing with other nations, just an hour or two in the throne room to listen to the people, fix whatever the problem was, and go back to bed.

A question, one single, annoying question ran through all of their minds. Eating them up, making them all paranoid and afraid. That question; Which one of them was next? For if the woman or whatever it was, got the powerful, perceptive Sailor Teres,… no one had a chance in hell.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***

" Your awake, I know you are. You can not fool me." He smirked as her eyelids fluttered open, revealing the depths of her navy orbs. She tried to speak, it was difficult, but she could do it. Her throat her so much.

" Look at you, a mere carbon being, no power, no talent. Your perfect though. I bet your confused. Having no memory or idea of who you are, or where you are, can do that to a being. Be happy you are alive still, ignorant Senshi." His eyes widened a bit in surprise as she stood steadily, easily getting up from the rugs she lay on. Shock now replacing the surprise shining in the murky pits of his yellow eyes. The chuckle hit his ears, making him alarmed that she even remembered how to do such a thing, when they had what made her, her.

" Please, I'm not ignorant. When I ran into that thing on Teres three thousand years ago, I made damn sure nothing would happen again. My memories, I have them, my emotions, check. Got them too. Oh yea, and the information that strikes terror into her heart." A confident smile played on her face. They never suspected what she had done. Then he laughed that cruel, chilling laugh, she'd heard it before.

" But with out powers, you are no threat. How will you get that information to your comrades. You are not psychic dear Teres. Weak and shameful you are for having gotten caught in the first place." She frowned, causing his laugh to increase in volume. The binding on her arms was really starting to hurt.

- Hope the first battle comes soon. Dear Goddess of mercy, don't let me hurt them much. Pray Ami…- A startled scream rose up out of her at the pain down the middle of her back. She went limp, no longer having control of her motor skills.

" I'm not going to wait for her to have some fun messing with your mind Teres. I want to get to the bloody work now. How do you feel about having your body being filled with negative energy?" Her eyes closed, she felt weightless for a second, then the ground seem to come up under them. He laid her on top of a platform she had caught a glimpse of before shutting her eyes again. It was cold metal under her. Teres's arms were stretched above her and bound to the platform, then her feet.

" Open your eyes, it's all ready for you." Then she saw the face of a demon, felt the sting of dark magic, and the serenity of unconsciousness.

Ami felt like hell, just like the others. Fortunately she had her own escape, her research. The blue haired genius wanted to find the name of the crystal allegedly stolen from Terri. She'd had Michelle, Amara, and Rei sketch a drawing of it. They matched up rather well. Made her job a bit easier.

The Ice Senshi first decided to start with the Moon's history data-base she had created at the beginning of Crystal Tokyo. She pulled the picture of the crystal up and fed it into the search engine. Two articles were found. The first on Zoicite and Nephlyte, having to do with the crystal they used to find the rainbow crystals. The second…

- Dumioron? What's that? Maybe this is the black crystal taken from Terri…-

Ami began to read the small article, written by Queen Serenity herself.

Dumioron Crystals

Documented by Queen Serenity, Silver Millennium Supreme Ruler

What has been learned of the Dumioron crystals is very minimum and still coded. The crystals hold something of precious value, what it is has yet to be translated from the Teressian language. The language of such a world is terribly difficult to translate into the lunarian tongue we use, especially since the young Sailor Teres was attacked on the way to bring the tablets to our researchers. Most were shattered but one, unfortunately it was the most cryptic of them all. One other fact was uncovered about the Dumioron crystals: the crystals are only found with in the race of Sailor Senshi. Most unknowing they hold such an item. Though it has been searched for, no sign has shown any indication that the crystals rest within the protectors.

Ami felt somewhat unsure of herself. This information, seemed so flawed. Like it was a clue. Reading it over again, Ami found the clue to the secret of the crystals. At the very bottom in the smallest of print Ami noticed something else left behind by Queen Serenity. After enlarging the excess note, she read:

Personal Note: I believe with certainty that young Terrestria Gun, herself smashed the ancient tablets from her own world. For I never felt her transform on the Moon, where she was attacked. She would never be so careless as to let something so precious to us be ruined by an enemy. Young Sailor Teres knows of the Dumioron crystal. I pray to the gods she not keep the information to herself in a great time of need.

Mercury huffed.

- Too late for that now, Terri's dead. She indeed kept that information from us. Why though wouldn't she tell us? Such a clever thing. Oh Terri, we all miss you so..- Ami read the information over and over again. No where could she find information on Teres. Tears were clouding her eyes again. She relaxed back in her chair, lazily glancing around her lab. Her blue eyes landed on her computer, something she never noticed before. A black glass piece next the one button that turned everything on. It was just as big as her thumb…

" Well? I'm waiting? Where is this great plan of yours Twilitite? Tell me now, unless of course you would much rather like the second choice…" He shook his brown locks.

" I have what you wish my, will you being staying in this form?" She shook Rei's raven head and started to morph again. This time, her skin a dark chocolate brown, hair darker than the midnight black dress clinging to her. Deep crimson red eyes starring him down.

" I will go back to my old form, much more unique." Twilitite nodded.

" My mistress, this is my plan." He snapped a finger and a breeze picked up in the large throne room. Black petals appeared, twisting together tightly like a volcano. After only a few seconds, Terri's body stood tall, then bowed. Her chestnut silver hair now streaked with black and dark silver. Navy orbs dark and uninviting. She wore an outfit exactly like her old uniform, with out the bows, and all of it was black. The same boots and gloves covering her arms and legs. A strong negative aura surrounded her like a wall.

" Stand. My what a perfect thing you are. So much better than the spec of a version you were before. State your name soldier."

" I have yet to be fitted with one, My Lady." She smiled a small bit, nothing good about it.

" Lost Star, that shall be your name. We're going back to the Earth, I've figured out this age old plan Twilitite. * Sigh* Every villain must try it. We fail, you die." He nodded curtly and vanished. Lost Star then whirled away. Nothing but a chuckle was left in the room…
