Mamoru opened the door. Curious that a strange scratching noise had woken him from his slumber. Yet, it was for the better. It was time for him to get up, anyway. He hadn't really been sleeping, just dozing - not far enough to awaken the nightmares still fresh in his mind.
The scratching persisted. He pulled open the door in annoyance. But no one was there!
"Huh?" He said confused.
"Down here." A voice whispered.
Mamoru peered downward and noticed Luna. "Oh! Hello Luna. Come in, will you?" He widened the doorway to permit her in. "What's wrong?"
To two relaxed in his living room.
Luna sighed exasperated. "Well... Usagi thinks there's something wrong with you. I offered to find out."
"I see." Mamoru took a deep breath. "Well, I've got to tell somebody. Actually Luna, she's right."
"I don't understand..."
"I've been having strange dreams." He explained. "A girl asks me to help her, to set her free. She keeps telling me a danger is coming. That Usagi will die unless I help. She says 'Sage will kill her' and that 'she will die'. It always shows Serenity battling a shadow. She... summons the Ginzuishou... and... it... it... kills her." He winced in pain. "She calls herself 'Kaylyn'."
"That's... No... it can't be! Usagi... DIES?!" Luna shivered. Tears formed in her eyes. "That's not POSSIBLE! She's going to be the future QUEEN! You saw the future!"
"I know! I don't know what to do! If those dreams are fakes, then who's creating them? If not... then she'll..."
"I admit, I've never heard of anyone named 'Kaylyn'." A thought popped into her head. "But who's Sage?"
"I think it was the first woman we fought. The monster..."
"I believe the term is 'Akuma'."
"Whatever. As I was saying, the Akuma was told to get rid of us and it said, 'Yes Master Sage'. I think she's a leader or something."
"This is serious. This Sage is extremely powerful. And your dreams... I must tell Usagi right away!" Luna jumped up to leave.
"NO! I need to know more about Kaylyn. Anyway, everyone will want to protect her, and you know she won't want that. I want you to tell her everything's okay. She trusts you the most. She'll believe you." Mamoru looked pleadingly to her.
"You mean LIE to her."
"Not quite. Just tell her you don't SEE anything wrong. That everything is under control."
"I don't know..."
"PLEASE, Luna."
Luna sighed and submitted. "Alright. I'll give you one week. If you don't find anything until then, I'm telling her. Like it or not."
"Deal."
* * *
"Artemis here. It's been a long time, Boss. What's wrong?" Artemis pressed another toggle button.
"The Enemy is moving in. You must be prepared. Unless stopped, everything will surely die. Understood?"
"Yes. Here's Venus. Talk to her, will you?"
"Hi! V here!" Said Minako cheerfully.
"This is serious Venus. An evil force is heading this way. It must be stopped. If you don't stop it, the entire universe will collapse. You must be prepared for the worst. Even the death of some Senshi is a possibility, I'm afraid..."
"The whole universe... at risk...?"
"Yes. This is an important task, but I know you can do it. You will need as many allies as you can get. Do not trust the Senshi of Vision. Ever."
"The Senshi of Vision?"
"One of the beginning soldiers. She was awakened earlier than you to fulfill her mission and turned rouge. In your past, she was one of the first Soldiers to be awakened and was turned evil by Sage."
"Sage?"
"Lady Sage is the advisor to Lord Morpheus. Morpheus is the leader of the Negafleet. You are battling the Negafleet presently."
"Are you sure this Senshi isn't faking it?"
"Positive. The readings that were taken indicates that she contains Negative Energy within her."
"Oh. Well, we'll get on it right away."
"Acknowledge. Oh, confirm received package."
"What package?!"
"Oh! Sorry Mina... I got it. Thanks." Artemis blushed slightly.
"Boss Out." The light flickered and died.
"So... what package is this?" Asked an annoyed Minako.
"All I got was a communicator for those of us who didn't have one." He explained sheepishly.
"Oh, that's okay. I understand. Just TELL me next time."
"Can do! Now, we can deliver these in the morning."
"Right."
* * * The Next Day...
"Hello Hidama. Are you ready?" Asked the red-brown haired man. His eyes, a forest green, held in the nervousness of yesterday's attack.
"Yes Hinshi. Let's go." The Lieutenant responded.
The two walked down the street, questioning people about the mystery killer. Hotaru followed the pair strolling along the sidewalk.
"Did you get any more information about the intruder from yesterday?" Hinshi inquired his partner.
"Not much. The person was wearing gloves. He was also wearing all black. I'd suspect the person was that murderer we keep running into... but he's a guy - not a girl."
"Not good. He was masked too. Right?"
"Yeah."
[I wonder if that intruder is the new Senshi.] Mused Hotaru.
"Did he take anything other than the Senshi Files?" Hinshi fixed an arm around Hidama's waist.
"No, nothing. That's all he wanted." Hidama sighed.
[The Senshi Files? Why would he want those? Oh! Since he doesn't know us, he -oops 'she' - want's to get as much info on us as possible. Makes sense. But that would mean he doesn't have any of his past lives memories! Or not very many at least.] Hotaru crept away. She'd gotten enough information to where she would need to tell the other Outers.
* * *
'Please...' A voice whispered, 'help me...'
Mamoru knew what was coming. He waited patently. Waiting for the upcoming misery. Suddenly, Kaylyn was there. She reached a hand out to him. Her long braided hair twisted around her.
'Endymion... please... free me... please...' Her voice pleaded to him, 'Help me... they are coming... they will destroy us... help me... I can stop it... please...' darkness engulfed her. 'Sage... will kill her... she will die...'
The scene shifted as he was again foreseen the future.
Princess Serenity summoned her powers. The Senshi screamed and pleaded. Begging her not to use the Ginzuishou's power. "Don't worry!" she said, "It is the only way."
A shadow loomed over her and laughed saying, "You think you can beat me with that tiny ROCK?! Ha ha ha ha! Fool!"
"Ginzuishou! Please! Give me strength!" Serenity called to it.
The shadow reached out its claws, tearing her apart.
"Nnnnooooooo!" Tuxedo Mask screamed in pain. "Usa!"
RIIIIIIING! The sound of the doorbell awoke Mamoru from his nightmare. He climbed out of bed and walked over to the door, opening it with one quick pull.
It was Minako. "Hi Mamoru! Artemis and I were wondering, did you want one?"
"Huh?" Mamoru shrugged, very confused. "One what?"
Minako peeled out a communicator watch. This one was much more manly and was mainly covered in black.
"You got some?! Great! I'll take it!" he snatched it out of her hand and grinned. "I've been meaning to ask for one of these! Thanks!"
"Now it's only to be used for sailor purposes. Understood?" She said mockingly.
"Yes, mother." He teased.
Minako giggled. "I've got a few more stops to go. See ya!"
"Bye!"
* * *
"Luna? Did you talk to him?" Usagi persisted.
"Yes. I... I was right. Nothing's wrong. He's just been tired because of that stunt he pulled when his Pure Heart was taken. It took a lot of energy out of him to summon the Golden Crystal and use it. Especially when he was supposed to be dead. He's also worried that you might loose your Pure Heart." Luna hated to lie to her, but a deal was a deal.
"Thanks Luna. I'm glad I was wrong." She heaved a sigh of relief.
[I wish you were. I really do.]
* * *
"So the new Senshi has decided to show herself." Remarked Haruka. "We should expect a confrontation then."
"But who is she?" Asked Michiru. "Setsuna? Do you know?"
"Maybe. I once knew a person during the Silver Millennium that was called the Senshi of Vision. She was going to be the primary protector of Queen Serenity but..."
"But?" Haruka prompted.
"But something terrible happened and she was taken over as an evil henchman. It was said, though, the controlling process would take years. Every time she would transform, the evil would spread. She disappeared shortly after. It's strange though... I don't think this 'Sailor Luna' is the same person though..."
"Hmm... How powerful...was she?"
"Pretty powerful. She had had much more training then even us because of her job. Although I doubt she could beat Galaxia or Saturn."
"Then... she could very well beat the princess!" Gasped Michiru.
"No. Sailor Moon is stronger! She won against Galaxia without using her full powers!" Setsuna insisted.
"True."
DING-DONG! The doorbell buzzed loudly.
"Leave it." Haruka ordered.
"Hey! Michiru! Haruka! Setsuna! Hotaru! It's me, Minako!" Called a voice from beyond the walls.
"I'll get it." Hotaru walked to the door and opened it. "Hi Minako. Come in! What's the problem?"
"Take a seat." Offered Haruka. "Anything wrong?"
"Nothing!" Minako waved her hands back and forth. "I was just wondering if you wanted a communicator. Boss gave us some so Artemis and I are putting them to good use."
"Michiru and I have one."
"Yeah, but what about Setsuna and Hotaru? Artemis said you would want it on your own frequency instead of ours. So I made an extra incase you needed to call us."
"Really? You did that? Thanks! I appreciate it." Haruka smiled and the others thanked her also.
"Who's 'Boss'?" Asked Michiru.
"We're not sure. But he's helped us before so I can vouch. So can Artemis." She checked her watch. "Oh no! I've got to hurry! Say, do you know where Kouhi lives? I want to give her one too."
"No, but we'll give it to her. We go to the same school, remember?"
"Oh yeah! Well, here. Take it. That'll save me a trip. Thanks! Bye!" Minako literally tossed the communicator at them as she ran out the door in frenzy.
* * *
The Akuma Stone stopped in front of a house. It waited for a person to enter or leave. But no one would be doing so for a while.
[This is where that Odango-Atama lives?] Clotho thought. "Akuma! Wait for her to be alone. It'll be easier than fighting a whole bunch of humans."
It obeyed and paused, waiting for the right moment to strike.
[I wonder why it chose HER. She's a ditz! Oh, well. A human is a human. What's the difference!]
* * *
The phone rang at the Tuskino residence. Usagi picked it up and found it surprising that it was Mamoru.
"Hey, Usa. I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner together. And maybe go to the park afterward. What do you say?" he asked.
"Really! Whoopee! I'll go!"
"Great. I'll pick you up around 7:00. OK?"
"That's fine! See you then!" Usagi happily hung up the phone and skipped upstairs. She had to look perfect. She bubbled with joy while she pushed though the selection of dresses, humming the tune that played in her locket.
