The next morning the scouts and I had a meeting. Each of us were bruised, in shock, and pain.
We had run from the men we loved who had been turned evil and against us by our new enemy.

The other scouts were having a harder time of dealing with it then I was, for it was the first
time their lovers had been turned against us. I had dealt with Darien being evil before, I
thought I would never have to deal with it again. But since I did I knew how to deal, while
the others had been their for me when it happened the first time, I had to be their for them.

Rei was looking worse than I had ever seen her. Her normal cheerful tan face was pale and she
was wearing nothing but a frown. Her usual carefree violet eyes were filled with sadness and
had dimmed to nothing but a light purple. Her raven hair that was normally kept brushed and
smooth was a mess and had lost its shine.

Ami looked just as bad as Rei. Her bright blue eyes had dimmed to be nothing but dark pools
of water. The short blue hair she had always taken such good care of was in disarray and she
also lost the sheen to it. Her face was paler than normal, I'm surprised her mom even let her
out of the house looking like that.

Looking over at Mina I saw that she wasn't looking very well either. Her blue eyes had done
the same thing as Ami's and she looked like she had spent the entire night crying. Her golden
hair looked unbrushed and their were dark circles under her eyes.

Lita looked the worst out of all of them. Her chocolate colored hair that was always in a
ponytail was down and looked like their would never be any shine to it again. The dark green
eyes that always had a sparkle to them lost their shine and had become so hollow that she looked
like she was a corpse.

I looked over at Rini who had left before I had, her hair was done in the normal way but she
hadn't brushed it as finely as she normally did. Her beautiful pink eyes were closed and she
looked like she was fighting tears. Going over to her I held her close rubbing her back.

"Rini, let it all out. I promise to each of you. I will bring them back. I promise you." I
said as Rini cried into my shirt.

Knowing I couldn't cheer any of them up I went over to the table with Rini still in my arms and
sat down in the middle of all of them. They all looked at me with tears streaming down their
cheeks. Holding my arms out to them they all hugged me and cried on my shoulders. I couldn't
help but cry myself.

I was going to get the guys back, even if I get killed in the process for using the silver
imperium crystal. I would get them back, I made the girls a promise to them and myself and I
intended to keep that promise.
