Chapter One: Meetings and Surprises
*****************************************************************************************
"You can't be serious, she isn't alive!" A dark man on a throne growled. "Kunzite killed her on the day her brother's engagement ball, I saw her blood covering the grround. She wasn't reincarnated with the others, she is dead. D-E-A-D, DEAD!" A large audience in shadows surrounded them, only a bronze haired woman with grey eyes in a bit of light so all could see her fear.
"B-but Your Highness, our spies have confirmed it. She's in Tokyo now. She will most certainly speak with the Senshi--" She stuttered before a tap on the black marble ground silenced her.
A man with brilliant hazel eyes and dark blue hair stepped into the light, bowing to the man on the throne. "Ahh my Lord she speaks the truth, and I swear to bring her here...On one condition."
The man on the throne smirked a little, "Ahh and what would that be, Amber?"
Amber's eyes glowed for a moment and he smiled maliciously, "She will be mine."

Katheryne looked at herself in the mirror, "I can't believe I'm doing this...But I have to...No I don't...Yes I do...GAH!" She threw her hands up in the air and growled. She wore a pair of dark blue hip-hugger jeans with a sea green peasant top. Her hair was pulled back in a braid as always, flip flops on her feet and her hands shoved in her pockets. "Maybe I should have worn that violet dress..." She glanced over at it on her bed and shook her head, "Makes me look like a freak. No one likes to wear those kind of dresses anymore."
She couldn't help but be nervous, they would all be there. All of them. Her brother, her could-have-been sister-in-law, her friends, her cousin, and....her fiance... She shook her head and sighed. That was ages ago, it wasn't the same. All there would be memories...bittersweet memories. She sighed and shoved her wallet in her front pocket and grabed her sunglasses. She found she had to wear her sunglasses almost all the time, her eyes were so brillant that most people would lose their train of thought. Which could be useful if she needed information. But she wouldn't, she would do the talking today. She looked out of her blacony and frowned, "Why must I have all the rough jobs?"
*****
".....Luna? Luna?! LUNA?!" Luna snapped out of her trance, staring out the door to turn and see twelve pairs of eyes trained on her. She blinked and sighed, looking down to her paws.
"Why are we here, Luna?" Ami asked timidly, her hands folded on the table top. Luna had brought them all to the Arcade, even the Outers and their new fighter, Eric, Serena's twin. That had gotten some adjusting to but it wasn't so hard, like a puzzle piece finally fit in.
Luna looked back to the door, "She's late."
"Who's late? Luna, tell us. Now." Haruka said, answering what everyone was thinking. Soon they were all chiming in, the scramble of voices reaching a near fever pitch until Luna smiled towards the door. A dark haired girl entered nervously, looking around and locking eyes with Luna. She smiled gently and removed her sunglasses, her brilliant blue-green eyes revealed. Walking over, everyone shut up.
"Now don't let me ruin your argument you all, I can wait." Her alto voice chimed in, musically charming and kind. She grabbed a seat and kissed Luna's and Artemis' foreheads before looking at them all and back to Luna and Artemis. "Now how do you handle this group all by yourselves? Poor things, it must be horrid." She says with a wink, pulling a card out of her pocket and placing it on the table. "That should answer your first question."
Eric's eyes were wide, he knew her. But he couldn't remember where from. That's what they were all thinking, they knew her. But where from?
Makoto picked up the card first and read it aloud," 'Katheryne Connor, PhD in Music Education and Drama, teacher at Julliard," She looked up to Katheryne, " 'At your service'?"
"Dr. Connor?? I see you in Journals all the time! They say you are going to get a Nobel Peace Prize!" Ami said quickly, her respect growing.
"You are the little girl that graduated high school at six years old, college at ten and finished your Doctorate at fifteen!" Hotaru added, in awe.
"Fourteen." Katheryne corrected, blushing again and looking down at her hands, "You know, if you want to get technical and all..."
"Why are you here?" Minako asked, ignoring all the school mumbo-jumbo and getting to the point.
Katheryne looked up, "Well I think it would take too long to tell you the whole story so lets just get to the meat and bones of it, hmm?" She scanned them all and sighed, "I'm a Sailor Senshi. Sailor Earth more specifically. I have lots of other titles but that's all you need to know now. You are all in a lot of danger, so am I and the others--"
"Sailor Senshi??"
"Sailor Earth??"
"Others??"
"The others?? There are MORE??"
Katheryne nodded, "It would be better if we spoke of this in private...another time." She replaced her sunglasses and stood. "How about the Shrine in, lets say, an hour? I'll see you there." She waved with a smile and walked out, leaving a group of very confused people behind her.
All eyes flew to Luna, all asking questions. Setsuna silenced them all.
"So, did she contact you Luna? You know what this means." She said quietly.
Luna nodded and looked to Setsuna, "Yes. We all fail and Earth is gone. We win and Earth is here but who knows what else will happen. That's why we need them...And they need us too."
Eric eyes still were locked on the door. "I can't believe it. She survived."
"Which means we are all dead." Setsuna finished for him and stood. "Well we do have an appointment, do we not? It's not every day a goddess asks you to talk."
****
"I can't believe this, I can't, I can't." Katheryne mumbled, pacing in the park. She was killing time before going to the Shrine. Glancing at the inside of her wrist where her watch was, she growled. "How am I supposed to tell them? 'Well you all have Soulmates that are supposed to guard you and I'm living with them. Yeah, and I'm a reincarnated verison of the Earth Mother. Yeah we have to destroy these people and either way we will probably die.' Oh yes, that's going to go over well!" She ran a hand through her hair, stomping off to the Shrine, unaware of the pair of hazel eyes that watched her argument with herself.
****
There they all sat, talking out of turn and in confusion.
"What do you mean there are more? Luna you have to tell us!" Haruka growled.
"This isn't my place, it's her story!" Luna answered back.
"But please Luna. I know her from somewhere, please tell us!" Eric pleaded, his emerald eyes begging to her.
Luna sighed and plopped down, "A long time ago, when gods and goddesses were worshipped...The Queen of Earth had a second child." She sighed, "You have to understand, only males were born to the Terran Kingdom. That in and of itself wasn't the surprise but...The Queen of the Moon gave birth to twins...One being a boy. And there was a prophecy told of when this would happen...when it did only the Earth would survive." She looked up at all of them. "You see now that it came true but no one believed in it then. The fact that a female was born to the Terran Kingdom meant that the Earth Mother, Gaea, must have wished a female to take the crown. The people screamed for it so...Though her brother was older, she would ultimately gain control of the throne. But nothing changed in the Moon Kingdom, the girl, Serenity, would gain the throne. The boy would be married off to another Kingdom and that was the way it would be."
"But things got very very confusing after that. Especially when, two enemies, the Earth and the Moon desided to make an alliance...through their children's marrages." A soft voice broke in. Katheryne leaned against the door, "Rei, your grandfather let me in, sorry for just barging in but I couldn't not put my little bit in, now could I?" She gave a sad smile, the kind that showed true pain, continuing to stand there. She stood there knowing if she walked in, she couldn't walk out. She could never walk out.
