Resurrection Chapter 4 Lianna Rini Amanda Melanie Rita

The girls were so exasted after all the adventure, that Mina found them all asleep in their rooms when she went to check. She was also a bit tired from transforming like that again after so long. Being a Sailor Scout really took it out of ya. She laid back on the couch and just listened into Artemis and Luna's talking.

"A bit unexpected, yes, but we know how to work with these things. Let's just be quite glad right now that is was Mina that they didn't catch..." commented Luna. Mina perked up a bit, but still looked like she was fast asleep. What were they talking about her for now? Didn't they already have a good 10 years away from her to do that?

"Yes, and that she's gotten back up to Eternal Power so quickly, though it still drains her way too much," replied Artemis. "Somewhere along the line, the Nega verse must have blacked us out into believing twins were actually one girl, and from the looks of it..." He looked over at Mina who had her eyes closed, and looked quite asleep.

"If only we ever knew what happened to the five earth scouts, we might be able to figure out how to do this. They know the powers, but we never got the chance to learn the extend of the Golden crystal's power," added Luna

"What's the Golden Crystal and any Earth Scouts have to do with those five upstairs?" asked Mina suddenly. None of her questions were getting answered while she was sleeping.

Luna and Artemis looked miffed that they had been eavesdropped on. "You know about the Silver Imperium Crystal. The Golden Crystal is it's lesser powerful counterpart that was protected by the rulers of Earth back in the Silver Millinium. As for it and the Earth Scouts et cetra... You can't tell me you haven't noticed your daughter's extremely light hair color."

"She has her father's hair... So what does that have to do with anything?" replied Mina, slightly getting frustrated.

"It means that she's not a true Venusian Scout. Rather she took after her father and is the protector of the Moon. As well as Rini which makes her the Sailor Scout of Earth," replied Artemis. Mina slowly seemed to understand what they were saying.

"So we can't get this power-up to work without a Venusian that's not me..." sighed Mina. The two cats nodded. "Perfect," she added sarcastically and fell agains the pillows behind her. "Ian, I love you dearly, but this is really messing things up..." Mina just looked up at the ceiling, saying this seemingly to the sky.

Rini and Amanda awoke to the smell of food being cooked somewhere while Lianna had been up for about an hour along with Rita. Melanie slept on, lost in dreams of Sailor Scouts once more. Mina had been discussing with Luna and Artemis any possiblities, throwing the thought of sleep. While they were all interested in why they were brought here, Rita was the one who got nominatied to confront their captor.

"Excuse me but who in the name of all that is sacred, are you, and why did you bring us all here? And I don't want to hear about these imaginary people called the Sailor Scouts unless you have solid proof to the claim," Rita exclaimed with no reservations.

"Firey thing, isn't she?" commented Mina to Aremis. He replied just loud enough for the others to hear, "Well she is Mars' daughter so what else would you expect?" Mina smiled brightly and sat up to answer her questions. "I suppose I should explain everything to you... To you all." Her eyes wandered to the girl bouncing down the stairs. "So you might as well gather all around so I can explain things in as much detail as I possibly can at the moment." The girls began to gather around the coffee table and various chairs in the room. "But where does one start a story like this?"

"At the beginning of course," replied Luna, giving Mina a small wink.

"Well according to a majority of scientist, the universe began with the Big Boom..." A few audible moans of "Not that beginning" could be heard from the girls. "Well that can't quite be proven, but several years ago, each planet in this solar system was ruled by it's own kingdom. The Earth was considered by many other galaxies to be the most powerful planet, but the other's knew quite better... The Earth was protected from any force by the Moon Kingdom, which was ruled in the Silver Millinium by Queen Serenity. Now the of Earth was protected by the Inner fourmost planets, not including the magnificent Earth because they were no allowed to communicate with the rest of the planets, nor were we with them." By now she seemed to have them entranced.

"The true to life Sailor Scouts of Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter all protected the Moon and it's royal family. Now of course not just anyone could be a member of this elite order of scouts. You had to be the Princess of the planet you took your name from, so since they were of royal blood, the scouts had protectors, the knights and the Galaxy Guardians.

"Now the Silver Millinium was growing to be dark times. On the outer edge of this Solar System, the Negaverse waited to invade and attack the Earth. They soon found that would be a harder target and began first attempting to take over each of the planets before finally taking the moon. While this was going on, they sent one of their minions, Queen Beryl, to Earth. There she led an uprising of people to the try and attack their protector, the Moon. She led the mob to the castle of the Earth Prince Endymion where he refused to help them in anyway. Beryl labeled him at the spot a traitor and stabbed him right in front of his love, Princess Serenity..."

"Pause for a moment," requested Rini. "Assuming Princess Serenity is the Moon Princess, what is she doing on Earth?"

"It was forbidden, and yes she was. Endymion and Serenity didn't care. They thought the rule was trite and although her mother knew, she never stopped the girl," replied Mina. "But the Princess ended up commiting suicide which almost killed her poor mother whom sealed away the Negaverse for good, or so she thought. Serentity then sealed up the Sailor Scouts and their protectors and sent them all to the future." Mina paused to take a bit more of a breath and consider where to go from there.

"So 12 years ago... The Negaverse got unleashed and the Sailor Scouts all died trying to stop it?" asked Amanda. The girl seemed to be taking as many mental notes as possible.

"Bit longer than that... They were released when I was 14, and I first discovered I was one of the mystical fighters. I first pretended to be Serenity to keep the Negaverse from discovering her while she got better with her newfound skills as Sailor Moon, with the idiotic nutcases believing that a girl called Sailor V was more likely to be a long lost Moon Princess as compared to a girl called Sailor Moon... Since then we fought off many enemies, but when this new power surfaced calling themselves the Nega Verse, at first we thought they were loony. However they started up a war 12 years ago, and being young parents, we didn't want to go and fight, leaving our daughters to end up in some orphanage, but it was either fight and die, or not fight and still be killed, but leaving our children in that danger as well." Mina bit her lower lip a bit. "Raye, Lita, Serena, myself... even Amy just thought it would be better for you girls as long as they never knew who you were." Mina's eyes paused for a moment on each of the girl's faces as she said their mother's names. "That's all the basic history though... Do you want your solid proof now, or do you have more questions?"

"So if we're related to these Sailor Scouts, aren't we Sailor Scouts as well?" asked Lianna.

"Well... More or less. You are of decended from the Kings and Queens of the Silver Millinium, but not Sailor Scouts until we can figure out a way for you to all transform," replied Mina.

"So they all fought and died to protect us... All except you," responded Amanda.

"And all the rest minus one knight... Your parents aren't dead in the least. I never said they were," said Mina with a slight twinkle. "There's always some hope as long as you don't let them get the best of you." This revelation of their parents continued existence seemed to shock most of them.

"What about that man back at the orphanage? He knew who you were Mrs. Mina, but do you know who he is?"

"He's a Negaverse General... Formerly the Knight of Venus. Brian made his choice long before he started training as a Knight of my planet to aid the Nega Verse. It was one of the more worse parts of Serenity locking up all the scouts and knights for she took him to the future as well. So now he's one of the head Generals in Lord Sodaite's plot for ultimate destruction of the universe." Mina sighed a bit, starting to get lost in her own memories. "If it weren't for Brian though, I never would have become even closer with Ian."

"Ian? I remember that guy saying something about "but then he has all your friends to fight you off. Well except for Ian..." What exactly did he mean by that?" asked Melanie.

"My friends would be the other scouts who are all brainwashed and working for Sodaite. Ian was the one knight we lost, my knight." Mina had to press her lips together to keep herself from crying. "Of course he wasn't from Venus, but he was Princess Serenity's older brother and a Knight of the Moon."

"Perhaps you should all follow me and I'll show you the training area and where we keep up will all our information on the Nega Verse," said Luna gently to the girls. She hopped off the coffee table and used the small "cat door" that had been put in the wall. A doorknob then appeared and the girls filed in and went down the staircase.

"I'm still getting the feeling that the Nega Verse is just trying to keep your spirts down Mina. Somehow I know he's alive, I just don't know where he could possibly be," commented Artemis once the crowd was gone.

"And I still have the feeling that you are just trying to keep me from falling all apart. I watched him die Artemis..." replied Mina. "I'll be fine though. I just don't enjoy reliving all those memories in my head. Just give me a moment and then I will get to work on making some dinner."

"And I'll be staying around to make sure you don't burn the whole place down..."
