"So you came from the future to help us?" Amy inquired as she, Yusuke, Serena, the other inner senshi, Shiro, Sana, Shinya, and future Rini continued walking through the dimension Amy had detected the Millennia Heart Crystal in. That same dimension which should have been dark and foreboding, turned out to be somewhat airy and cheery. Why had he chosen such a lighthearted dimension to populate his evil with?
"Yeah, once I heard that Emi sent a piece of the crystal back to you guys, I thought to myself that I would be needed," Rini said.
"You know you'll just get in the way," Shiro said as he looked up at the pink, yellow, and green sky. What the heck had Kiro been thinking when he chose this place. It was starting to make Shiro uneasy, as if something omniscient would rain down upon them. Shiro didn't notice the object until it came crashing down over his head. Tears sprang into his eyes as he whirled around to stare at his sister who had her scepter over her shoulder. She gave his a side-glance for the remark. "What was that for! You know it's true!"
That remark got him another blow over the head. "You know, you should learn to keep remarks like that to yourself. You wouldn't get hit over the head with things," Rini replied simply.
"Okay you two, I think we don't need to start up. We have a mission at hand," Shinya said, holding Shiro back before the young man lay unconscious on the ground.
"Are they always like that?" Lita chuckled to Shinya. The young man nodded with a slight flush.
"They never stop arguing. But that shows how much they care for each other. It's a sibling thing I guess. I never argue with Takuya or hit him quite like Rini does to Ryo and Shiro," Shinya admitted. "Too alike to be different."
"Are you saying that I'm like that violent psycho?" Shiro pointed to Rini who kindly whacked him over the head once again. "Stop hitting me with things you psycho broad."
Serena smiled, despite Rini whacking her younger brother repeated over the head with her scepter until the young man lay unconscious, and Shinya had to drag the body along with them. There were so many sides to that young man. He could act so tough when he needed to be, but he was just like any normal teenager his age. (A/N: If anyone wants to know, Shiro is 16.)
"You know, those two remind me of when I was younger," Yusuke chuckled. "He's an interesting kid."
"Yeah, I was just thinking about that. He has so many sides to him," Serena said, remembering what Hiei told her before she left. About how brave he tried to be, but how alone and hesitant he was about himself. When Serena heard that the young man fought against crying, Serena wanted to embrace him then and tell him it was okay to cry. That there was nothing he had to hold back from them. (A/N: FYI, Hiei, Kurama, and the Hakusho boys had to stay there to protect everyone in case Kiro decided to attack while they were in the other dimension.)
"I guess he really is like his daddy then," Yusuke chuckled once again. Yusuke had a feeling that this extraordinary young man would make an impression on the Ningen Kai, Makai, and Rei Kai someday.
~~~~~~~~~~~ *** ~~~~~~~~~~~
The figure with violet eyes stared deep into the crystal that he held in his hand, the crystal that held the future of this world. If he were to. . .the figure contemplated shattering the crystal then and there, but. . .he had plans for it. Soon the future world would be engulfed in infinite darkness. He would be able to rule it without the concern of Millennia Queen Serenity stopping him.
The male with the black and silver hair continued staring at the crystal in his hand. That perfect object that allowed him to gain abundant power that no one could match. Maybe he should go back and awaken Millennia Queen Serenity. She still had a purpose. There was a part of the crystal's power that would not allow him access to its energy. What was the little secret of it that he was missing?
"Don't think that you have won this yet, my queen. It won't matter soon enough. Your beautiful world of crystal shall soon be shattered." A smile crossed his lips as he stood from his seat. He shouldn't spend so much time gloating over his triumph over the future queen of Millennia Tokyo. There was still a slight matter to deal with.
Somehow, that millennia brat detective had lived from the battle they had. The kid could ruin all and any plans he was making if he managed to somehow get the crystal back. Kiro had to devise a full proof plan that would not fail. With a wave of his hand, Kiro created a legion of youma to do his bidding. It was only a matter of making them use up all their energy. Once they did that, they would not be able to resist the lure of death. Now all he had to do was wait.
~~~~~~~~~~~ *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sana lifted her nose to the air, feeling her skin prickle. Shiro, Shinya, and Rini noticed this and stopped to. The others wondered what was going on, and stopped too.
"What's up Sana?" Shiro said, knowing that the girl's keen scent was picking up something to stop her.
"There's a change around us. It's not as light as before. It's heavier, with a pungent smell. Like. . ." The girl frowned, trying to remember where she smelled that smell before. Her eyes widened as she pushed her mother out of the way of a large claw that nearly took off her head. "Shadow youma!"
"What?" Serena said confused, yet very alert.
"Shit!" Shiro drew his sword, sensing the change, as did Shinya and Rini. His eyes shifted to the space around them. "They have us surrounded. Everyone get on guard, we have company."
"What is it? What's going on?" Yusuke said, sensing the heavier weight of air around them. The sky that was once green and blue and yellow now turned mute colors of brown and gray.
"Kiro sent a legion of shadow youma after us," Shiro explained. "They're monsters born from the evil souls of certain individuals. They are effectively ruthless and hard to kill. They live in the shadows, waiting for a chance to kill."
"That's what attacked me?" Raye looked at the girl by her side. In her hand was a piece of ivy. Raye wondered what she was going to do with that.
"Yep. And here they come." The young man with black hair pointed to a looming black object that arose from seemingly out of nowhere. Huge claws dragged on the ground as its sulfur eyes focused on the group with hatred and murder. "Shiro, Shinya, Rini, I think it's time to raise the shields."
"That will do no good. They'll just claw at the shields until they get to us. It's time we took a stand," Rini said. She rose her staff, twirling it in the air. (A/N: If I haven't hint on her costume, she has a pink, white, and yellow Eternal color scheme, wings included.) "Moon Crystal Light Activation!"
Bright light flashed the entire area around, and collided with the shadow youma. The creature screamed, then disappeared. The light faded just as something pushed her down. Looking up, she found Shiro. "Watch your back idiot." He gestured to the hulking creature that looked to be foaming at the mouth. "There's not just shadow youma. Kiro's controlling some low class youkai who aren't affected by your attack."
"Show time then!" Shinya grinned as he took to the air. Raising his hands up, he focused his energy into creating a ball of lightning. "Let's see if he likes this! Lightning Thrust!" The energy wrapped around his hand as he dove at the youkai that Shiro was staving off with his sword. Upon seeing Shinya diving in, the young man jumped out the way. The youkai unfortunately wasn't so lucky, taking the lightning fist to the back.
"There's more on the way!" Sana shouted as she jumped out of the way of another shadow youma. The piece of ivy in her hand started to grow wildly. "Ivy Whip Slash!" She swung the ivy whip catching the creature.
"If this keeps up, we're going to be too tired to reach Kiro," Lita said, using her lightning to fry a random youkai that popped up in front of her. By now the enemy was coming in drones.
"That's the idea," Shiro said. "He wants us to use up all our power so he can pick us off one by one with no problem. But I won't let that happen." Opening his hand, he called upon the dark forces of the Makai. His aura turned from blue to crimson to black as his eyes turned ruby.
"You idiot! Don't try that in here!" shouted Rini running up and smacking her brother over the head. The boy was brought out of his trance with a jerk.
"What you do that for!" Shiro shouted, slashing a youkai that popped up in front of him, in the face. The youkai screamed as it fell to the ground twitching before dying.
"If you use the Kageryuha (Shadow Dragon Wave) technique in this close a space, you're going to have that thing frying us too. Our mission is to save mother, not fry her," Rini exclaimed. "Save that stuff for another time."
"Then what do you suggest?" retorted Shiro.
"I'll stay behind and fight," Yusuke said, firing his spirit gun once more.
"Hey, you can't have all the fun then," Lita said. "I'll stay behind with him, the rest of you guys go ahead and kick Kiro's butt for us."
"But Lita, Yusuke," Serena said with some hesitation over the idea of those two staying behind by themselves.
"Don't worry, I'll be staying back with them. Can't let my mom fight without me," Shinya grinned. "With me here everything will be all right."
"So it's settled, you guys go on ahead," Yusuke said. "We three will be all right."
The rest of them (Serena, Raye, Mina, Rini, Shiro, Sana, and Amy) went on ahead, but Shiro stopped and ran back over to Shinya. Shiro studied the male with a steady look before a smile appeared on his face. "You die and leave me with that mutt and I'll drag your ass back from the Rei Kai and make sure you suffer."
"Don't worry, I wouldn't be able to leave you if I wanted to, now go on," Shinya said, ruffling the younger male's hair lightly. Shiro turned away from the male and went to catch up with the others. *Don't die on me either Shiro. *
~~~~~~~~~~~ *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So some of them managed to get past the first wave of my army. All right, let's see what I can do now?" Kiro looked into the crystal once again, seeing the seven running towards him. So they had managed to track down the crystal, he could not let them get through like that.
With a snap of his fingers, hundreds of sulfur eyes lit up. He would have things his way whether they wanted it or not.
"Go, greet my guests."
~~~~~~~~~~~ *** ~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are we there yet Amy?" Serena asked.
The woman with the computer in her hand typed in something and looked over at Serena. "Just a few more miles to go. If we keep on this path, we'll reach Kiro in no time."
"Watch out!" Raye grabbed Amy, pulling her down as something swooped over them.
"More youma!" Sana jumped into the air, cutting the thing in half with her whip. Landing, she felt a wave of hit fly just an inch above her sword. With wide eyes, she turned to find a twitching, burning youkai on the ground. Turning her eyes to Shiro, she smiled. "Thanks Shi-chan!"
"Well, you don't have to thank me. I don't want to make Aunt Raye cry over a stupid mutt like you," Shiro said as he turned his attention to another enemy. "Watch your back, I can't always watch it for you."
"Venus Love Chain Bind!" Mina's love chain wrapped around a youkai, squeezing it until the creature was snapped in half. Once done, the love chain came back to Mina.
"Mercury Ice Bubbles Shatter!" Hundred of icy bubbles burst into shards of ice, slicing into a youma. "Serena, go on ahead! Raye and I can handle things here. Your priority is Kiro!"
"Hey, don't think you two are going to get all the glory. Sailor V is on the job too!" Mina said as she love chained a youkai in the face.
"And me too! I'm not leaving my mother to fight without me," Sana chimed. "Shiro, take care of Auntie Serena! I'll be there as soon as I'm finished here."
Shiro looked at the girl with a rose brow then turned his back. "Take your time, there's no hurry to come back and torment me. Stay here if you want."
"Hey, don't be so mean," pouted Sana. "Why do you always do that? You say such nice things to Shinya, but always such a meanie head to me."
"Correction, I'm not always nice to him, he just knows not to irritate me," Shiro said, slicing another youkai that was trying to sneak up on Sana. The young man walked up to her and shook his head. "You always do something to irritate me."
"That's because I love you," Sana confessed. She expected Shiro to glare at her, but found a slight flush tint his cheeks. For a long minute, their eyes locked, until Shiro broke the stare. "Shiro?"
"You idiot, don't say things like that to me in a battle," Shiro said. "You really are a pest. Don't die, I'd rather not have that on my conscious."
"Wait for me Shiro!" Sana watched the retreating figure of the male; that alone gave her the strength to fight. She would fight to make a future for them both. *Shiro, be careful and don't die on me, I would never be able to take it. *
The three that continued on ran until a bubble surrounded them. "What's going on?" Serena looked for a way out, but there was none.
"Kiro. He's bringing us to him," Rini said.
"I say we let him, so I can rip out his throat myself," Shiro said.
"Take it easy brat, before he rips out yours before you can get your hands on him. We have to take this with a cool head," Rini said.
"Ch," Shiro said, looking away from his sister. Putting his sword up, he crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the bubble. The bubble disappeared, then reappeared elsewhere. Popping, the three individuals were let free. The place they were in was almost an exact replica of the Millennia Palace.
"Where are we?" Serena awed.
"You my dear future queen are in my palace. A palace I have constructed with the power of your future crystal. I welcome you, members of the Millennia line. . .to your final place of battle." Out of the shadows stepped a male. His violet eyes flickered with the power of the crystal he just absorbed into his body.
