Summary: The last story was about the mysterious Sailor Hecate and her trials of the Sailor Senshi. But Hecate cannot guard the Gates of the Underworld and be the Senshi of Death at the same time. So she sends her companion back into life to help protect the old and new Senshi from their Future and Hecate's warning to Endymion. Warnings: Overall weirdness, for one. But basically, some swearing, violence, swearing, and overall insanity. YAY! Disclaimer: I don't own the Sailor Senshi Venus, Mercury, Moon, Chibi Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto. I own Sailor Senshi Hecate. I do not own Yoroiden Samurai Troopers Kongo no Shuu, Suiko no Shin, Tenku no Touma, Rekka no Riyo, or Korrin no Seiji. I do not own Masho Gen, Yumi, Doku, or Oni. I do not own Kayura-sama. I do own Angel Senshi Justice, Faith, Intellect, Virtue, and Courtesy. I also own Angel Knights War, Death, Empathy, Silence, and Courage. I do not own Gundam Pilots Heero, Duo, Quatre, Trowa, or Wufei (::like Birdman:: WUUUUUUUUFEEEEIIII!!). I do own Bya-chan, Nefertiti, and the idea to turn OniMasho into a cat. heh heh. I do not own Luna, Luna-P, Artemis, Diana, Byakuen, Kokuen, the Medjai or the Preventers.. I think that about sums it up.. Yeah. OH! I don't own X-Men (who will only be mentioned by the name Logan- whom I do not own).
Within the refines of the castle lay silent seventeen crystalline caskets. Within dwelt the royalty of Japan, held in stasis somewhere between alive and dead.
Standing beside the two lead caskets was a twelve year old girl with lengthening pink hair. She held in her arms a small purple cat with a crescent moon on its forehead. Chibi Usa buried her face in her cat's neck and released a quiet sob. "Why couldn't I go, too?"
"Because it would be too dangerous," replied a slightly metallic voice. Chibi Usa turned to see what looked to be exactly like her father, but the telltale sign of the fact this form was no older than twenty gave it away. Her father had bits of gray hair, this form didn't. This form was a robot. Created to be exactly like her father in the instance he could not be there. Like now. "Let the others take care of it and you remain here to look after the Kingdom?"
Chibi Usa snorted. "Some Kingdom to look over. Minerva's bodyguards take care of everything- or you do, remember? I'm the pretty face."
"Precisely," Robo-Dad grinned. Chibi Usa glared at him. "Look, Little One, just take my word for it, as the being programmed to think exactly- well, not exactly, that little fault or two has been thankfully eliminated. but, however, like your father and I'd rather you were here."
Chibi Usa rolled her eyes.
Robo-Dad heaved a robo-sigh. "Ohhhkay. You know? I bet there HAS to be something sweet hidden in your parents' room. Usagi is bound to have a stash. Why don't we go look for it. Promise no one will ever know." Robo- Dad winked and held out his hand.
Chibi Usa grinned.
"So we send however many to trace the Angel Senshi, since they're out to protect what we're out to kill." Young Endymion sighed heavily while pouring over a large holographic map before him. After a moment of quiet contemplation he groaned. "She gives me the CREEPS."
Elder Endymion raised an eyebrow in questioning, then turned to the shadows of the room where stood concealed within the Guardian of the Gates to the Underworld in absolute silence. "Why?"
"SHE was the one who came to me with this 'never go near the Senshi again' hocus pocus. us." YE added as an afterthought, "And she was the same one that followed me- us- around in my. our! past life with that disturbing eye of hers. Looking like that shouldn't be legal," the man shivered, avoiding looking at the shadows.
"True," EE reasoned quietly. Then he smiled. "But what is also true is that she is human, and that was proven."
YE smiled. "Yes, Pluto held such promise for her humanity, did it not?"
EE joined the Moment for the Evil Smirk and then returned to the map. "The Yoroiden attend this school. The Senshi these. Instead of drawing this out and making a whole television series out of it. Why don't we go for the 'lure them out of secrecy' plot, yes? The Angel Senshi will gather the two sets of heroes together in order to explain why they are there and then we can make the big attack. Simple. To the point."
"Precisely." Think the griffin from Quest for Camelot for that one.
The twin Endymions released all their stress in an invigorating Evil Laugh.
The Guardian of the Gates rolled her one visible eye subtly. These two were complete idiots. They had no idea what was going on.
"Man, I can't believe I have to redo this lab." Rei Faun Shuu moaned piteously to the girl looking less than pleased to be in the science room herself. "What's your name, anyway? I always see you hanging out with that blue-haired girl since you came here. Is she your sister?"
The girl with long silvery hair nodded with a smile.
"So what's your name?"
The girl frowned and picked up a sheet up paper. She scribbled on it. "My name is Minerva- I'm mute."
"Oh, okay," Shuu shrugged. "So, c'mon and let's get this over with."
Minerva smiled and threw out her paper while she watched Shuu start to set up the lab. Burner, starter (fire, yay!). the ingredients for soap. (I made soap in chemistry. and I have had serious doubts about my cleanness since that. yeah.) so on and so forth.
"Man, Riyo must have loved this. Getting to play with fire and all." Shuu giggled as he shoved the cord onto the gas thingy and turned the valve.
Minerva shivered. Something was up. Something was out of place.
Somewhere in the quad, Astraea shuddered while in the middle of War and Peace. She didn't like that feeling.
If Minerva were capable of speech, this probably would never have happened. She would have been able to yell at Shuu not to use the igniter. But no, she had never spoken a word in her life and she had to settle for running to Shuu and pushing him down just as the gas caught.
The resulting explosion slammed Minerva and her lab partner into the wall on the opposite side of the room some ten meters away and managed to shake nearly every book off of the library shelves in the room next door. The only book that stayed on the shelf was a thick English Dictionary. Webster, of course.
Astraea was immediately on her feet. "This is bad! Very, very bad!" she hissed, taking off for the Chemistry room just as four young men decided to do the same thing. "Bad, bad, bad, bad- badbadbadbadbadbad!" Astraea cursed as she slid to a stop at a turn and tore down the hall, following the overwhelming smoke that was filling the air.
"What do you think set it off, Riyo?" Shin asked as he and the Yoroiden took a separate hall from the blue-haired girl to get to the same room.
"It feels like it was a gas leak," Riyo replied, "But for some reason I can't believe that."
"Let's just pray Shuu and whoever was in there with him is alive," Seiji decided grimly as they turned to corner to take them to the room.
The smoke was so thick Astraea collided directly into Hashiba Touma and both ended up on the floor.
"Hey!" Touma cried out. "Shuu?"
Astraea coughed. "I think he's in there with Minerva!" she yelled over the roar of flames behind the closed door.
"What are you doing here, it's dangerous!" Shin reprimanded.
"I could ask you the same thing!"
Minerva opened her eyes and was met with flames, flames, and more flames. This is bad. She reasoned and looked to Rei Faun Shuu, who was coughing and sweating heavily. Minerva looked back to the fire. In the center of it all stood a dark form grinning at her. Shuu's coughing stopped, he was unconscious.
Minerva swore to herself. That thing wouldn't let her out but if she fought the smoke could kill Shuu.
At Juuban High quad, a girl with long ashen hair flickered like a bad television set, alarming the blue-haired girl next to her.
But the only choice was to fight and fight fast! Minerva finally decided, putting two fingers to her forehead and calling on the power of Virtue. She unsheathed her twin blades as the youma laughed at her in a high, cackling voice. And just as quickly as it was there, it was gone, leaving behind the vast fire she was standing in. Sighing, Minerva turned, de-transforming as she went, and ran to Shuu. We gotta get out of here; she said mentally and pulled him to his feet.
"OW! The door's HOT!" Touma yanked his hand back from the smoke- filled doors, completely unaware of what was going on inside. Though it was plainly obvious that the door would be hot when there was a fire behind it, concern for his friend made him take the handle anyway, common sense out the proverbial door.
Riyo looked hastily at Astraea, who seemed to be waiting for something he didn't know about, and then at the door. There wasn't any choice; he would have to call on Rekka to get that door open.
WHAM! The doors flew open and two people stumbled out. Both half- conscious and covered in soot. Riyo and Touma reached out as they fell. Into Riyo's arms came a girl with silvery hair who, in logic, should have been covered in burns. Unless Shuu protected her with Kongo's powers. Though limited against fire, they could have done enough to keep them both fairly safe.but, no, they still would have had burns.
"Minerva!" Astraea knelt near the girl, lifting her face in her hands.
The girl opened one eyes slowly, smirked, and looked at Shuu, rather proud of herself.
Astraea growled. "You IDIOT! Are you INSANE! I'm gonna KILL you!" She smacked the silver-haired girl hard in the arm and yanked her to her feet. "You could have been killed!! That's not why we're here!"
Riyo stared a moment, but the flames were starting to reach out the door and the Yoroiden followed him in a hasty retreat with the two girls.
It took a bit of explaining on how the two got out of the room relatively unharmed, which was written by Minerva, as she was called, because she could not speak, that they had been on the other side of the room when the explosion went off. Shuu was still unconscious, and being sent to the emergency room before her, since she seemed to be in better shape.
The Yoroiden had to wait for school to end before they could go see Shuu Rei Faun. The girl Astraea had to wait as well, but was also witnessed yelling at someone on the phone just before she left about Minerva by Riyo and Shin. They assumed she was talking to friends of theirs and telling them to meet her where her sister was.
Riyo scratched his head. "It just doesn't make sense," he muttered slowly.
"She told us you were on the other side of the room when the thing went up," Shin told Shuu, who had reportively been awake for an hour before they had arrived.
Shuu shook his head. "No. I was just lighting the burner when she shoved me and it went up. Sure, we ENDED UP on the other side of the room... But... There was a strange presence in that room, too... Like. Evil... and then... Rekka was there, almost... but different... But I'm not sure because I was passed out then."
"If that's the case, then there is something going on that involves those two girls," Seiji was hidden in the shadows of the room. He hated hospitals with an almighty passion.
"They're-" Touma began.
"Right here," a voice from the doorway caused all present to turn and stare. Astraea and Minerva stood in the doorframe. Minerva's right arm was bandaged from her knuckles to her elbow and there was a bandage under her right eye that was slightly pink with blood in the middle. "Looking for us, right?" Astraea asked curiously, raising one eyebrow.
"Yes. We want answers. What really happened in the chem. room?" Riyo stood up in his most 'tell me or die' stature and glared at the two girls.
Minerva starting giggling at this so hard she had to duck out of the room. Astraea, they assumed, hit her again behind the wall and turned back. "We'll answer any questions tonight. A mile out of the city Westward- got it?" The Yoroiden all nodded. "See you there," Astraea took a firm hold on the collar of her sibling and dragged her away.
YE and EE cackled over their portal viewer.
"It's happening! They're doing exactly what I thought they would! Ha haaaa!" YE giggled like a maniac and skipped around his portal. "I believe it is time to laugh.evil." he stated plainly and placed his pinky to his lip.
The Guardian of the Underworld flinched at their laughter.
