Chapter two: Start of a Mission
"What do you have to say for yourselves?" Sailor Mars asked of the two young scouts in front of her. Emiko and Jean looked down at the ground in shame.
"Do go easy on them Raye, it is not their fault." Neo-Queen Serenity stepped between her friend and the young sixteen-years-olds. "This just means that we have to alter our plans a bit." She announced.
Just then Princess Lady Serenity entered with her court, the scouts- in- training Sailors Juno, Vesta, Pallas, and Ceres. They stood silently, taking in the scene as Pluto, Mercury, and Nova moved along the computers, checking to make sure that no coordinates were lost. "The mission had been to go into the new realm and to find the Silver Millenium reincarnates, and to establish a Sailor Scout warriors head-quarters. But now that evil being Torami has made it into the realm, we must find and destroy, or heal her." The Queen's eyes became sad. "This mission had been meant for Sailor Alpha and Omega. But now I see the need to send a Sailor Guardian along with them." She turned to Sailor Mars. "Will you please watch over them?"
Sailor Mars bowed, "Of course my Queen."
"Have you repaired the portal?" Neo-Queen Serenity asked."I think we have repaired it to the point where we can keep it open for about ten more minutes until it crashes." Pluto replied typing fiercely on the keyboard.
"Daughter?" Rini quickly looked at her mother, the Queen. "Please help Sailor Jupiter and Venus with Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus. They have all been injured. Pallas? Juno? Please go with her. I need Ceres and Vesta to please run and fetch the suitcases right away, they are already packed in Emiko and Jean's rooms." As the Queen issued her orders, everyone jumped to comply.
Only Pluto, Mercury, Nova, Omega, Alpha, Mars, and the Queen were left in the room. The Queen turned to the two young scouts. "This mission had taken a dangerous turn. But, as you have proven, you are both very strong. Yet you are young, and you must be careful. If you need any help at all, then please use this to help guide you." She placed her hands in front of her chest and glowing light appeared. The light solidified to become a round orange globe, and two communicator watches. The young scouts grabbed their items and thanked the Queen.
Soon everyone was ready. Omega and Alpha exchanged nervous looks as Omega readied herself to enter the roaring portal. Wishes for luck and good- byes were swept away in the tornado of wind and just as Sailor Mars entered, the computers went haywire and crashed.
Everyone held her breath. "Did they make it?" Someone asked.
Suddenly Mars appeared above the Queen and fell on top of her. They both lay on the ground stunned.
"Oh no." Whispered Pluto as the computers shut down automatically to prevent further damage, ".this means that Emiko and Jean..are on their own!"
"This will take weeks to get operational again." Commented Mercury as she helped Sailor Mars off of their Queen.
"Then I guess we just need to pray that Planet Power will protect and guide them." Whispered Nova, who was Alpha and Omega's best friend.
"Hai." Agreed Pluto and Mars, who had recovered. Both were thinking of their daughters.

Yugi Motou walked slowly home from school that day. The seventeen- year old boy was short for his age, though not overly so. He struggled under the weight of his heavy backpack.
"//Would you like some help aibou?//" asked a strong voice inside Yugi's head.
"//No, thank you Yami.//" The Millenium Puzzle around Yugi's neck shone briefly and his darker half was now walking beside him. Yugi and Yami were startling to look at if you did not know them. Yugi was the younger of the two. His hair was black, with blond bangs and purple-pink tips. All of it was spiked up, Yami, on the other hand, had the same style of hair, only he had blond highlights in the black, and the tips were redder in color. Both of them looked startlingly similar, almost as if Yami was an older Yugi. Both boys had beautiful amethyst eyes. Yugi's shone with innocence and Yami's shone with hidden power and deep secrets, unknown even to himself.
"Here let me take that." Yami said, talking out loud now. He helped Yugi take off the heavy pack, and hefted it onto his shoulder.
"Thanks Yami, but I could have gotten it. We're almost there anyway." Yugi smiled happily at Yami, and the older boy's eyes smiled back with love.
Yugi skipped ahead; full of energy now that he didn't have to carry his backpack. He turned the corner, and Yami walked faster so as not to lose sight of his hikari. As he turned the corner, though, he almost ran into Yugi.
"Yugi what-oh no." Yami stopped and stared at the scene that had stopped Yugi in his tracks. An ambulance and two police cars sat outside of the game shop. Yugi's Grandpa was being led out on a stretcher toward the ambulance.
"Grandpa!" Yugi ran forward quickly, and Yami, dropping the backpack, ran after him. "No! What happened to him? Grandpa!" Yugi shouted as a police officer stopped him."Do you live here?" The police officer asked, Yami nodded. Yugi fought with his tears as his Grandfather was put into the ambulance. "I'm sorry. We got a call about a half-hour ago. There was a lot of hissing, something was attacking him, and it sounded like an animal. But whatever it was, it left. We sent some samples to the lab. Don't worry son," the officer put his hand on the weeping Yugi's shoulder, "we'll find whatever did this.
"Yami stared in disbelief at the ambulance as it drove away.
"Oh Yugi. I'm so sorry." Yami put his arms around Yugi, and the younger boy turned around and cried into Yami's strong embrace, soaking the older boy's shirt in the process. "Don't worry Yugi, I'm here." Memories flashed through Yugi's mind. So intense, that Yami couldn't help but pick up on them.
Flashback
A little Yugi played happily in the middle of the living room with his new stuffed animal, Cuddles the Bear. He laughed as the tower of blocks he had been building was knocked over by the black cat, Fluffy. His Grandfather smiled down at the young boy. Suddenly a sickening crunch and shattering sound made both of them jump. Yugi's Grandfather ran over to the window, and peered through the gray mist and rain that beat against the windowpane.
"Oh my God!" In a panic, the old man ran out of the room to the telephone in the hallway. Little Yugi, being naturally curious, climbed up onto the chair by the window and looked out. He couldn't see much, but it looked as if someone had crashed together a big truck and a red car. The red car looked strangely like Mommy and Daddy's car. But Yugi couldn't tell, so he climbed down, grabbed Cuddles, and walked out of the room towards the hallway. His Grandpa wasn't there.
"Gran'pa?" Little Yugi walked towards the front door. The chilly air made him shiver, and he saw that the door was left open. "Gran'pa?" He repeated. As he stopped in the doorway the sound of sirens from far off arose his curiosity. Quietly he stepped into the rain. The sweet smell of wet summer grass mingled with the smell of smoke.
Yugi hugged his teddy bear close and walked down the sidewalk to the road, where he saw through the rain his Grandfather, lying on the ground and crying. Yugi had never seen his Grandpa cry, and it scared him. He looked at the red car and saw the door had been thrown open. A woman hung out of the seat, suspended above the ground by her seatbelt. The long blond hair hung down to the ground, and rested in a growing puddle of red blood. Yugi couldn't see her face, but he knew her only to well.
"Mommy?" Little Yugi's voice cracked as he whispered her name. One of the few names that he had known since before he could remember. Yugi turned and fled into the darkness, he heard his Grandpa call out, but didn't turn back.
Later on the rain let up, and it found little Yugi in a park that he knew from his parents taking him there. He sat and cried in the sandbox, until the rain stopped and the sun came out. He just sat in the sand; shivering and letting the sun warm him. He hugged Cuddles as hard as he could, squeezing water out of the soaked stuffed animal as he did so.
"Hey kid? Are you alright?" Yugi turned to see and older boy with a mop of brown hair that hung in his blue eyes. A baby with black hair sat in a stroller the older boy had been pushing.
"My Mommy and Daddy." Fresh tears welled up in Yugi's eyes.
The older boy's eyes grew kind and he came over and sat on the side of the sandbox. "My name is Seto. What's yours?"
"Yugi." came the mumbled response.
"Ah." Seto replied knowingly. "So you're the one all the adults have been looking for. I guess you're really sad about your parents aren't you?" The small head nodded. "Well, come on, I'll take you to my parents and they'll help you," Seto stood up and reached his hand down, "Come on." Yugi managed a small smile and took the offered hand. Then Seto helped brush off the sand on the bottom of Yugi's night cloths and they headed toward the fountain where two people sat on a bench.
Seto continued talking, hoping to cheer the little boy up. "This is my little brother Mokuba. I'm his big brother, and my Mom and Dad say that I'm old enough to push him in his stroller as long as they can see me. I'm gonna teach him lotsa stuff, like," He paused and thought, ".like how to run from girls with cooties!" He smiled as Yugi, who didn't even know what cooties were, smiled.
Later on that night, Yugi was sitting on his Grandfather's lap being rocked to sleep. He clutched his teddy bear close to his heart, and, even though he was so young, in that innocent was that young children have, knew that he now had no parents, just his Grandpa.
End Flashback
Yami sat on the bed with the sleeping form of Yugi on his shoulder. They had not been allowed into the house until the police had finished the investigation. They concluded that it had been some sort of animal, but could find no other clues. Then some kind-hearted officers offered to clean up the mess. Yami had agreed, he would be to busy helping his hikari.
Yami lay the young boy of the bed and covered him up. Throughout the day, Yami had managed to find out that Yugi's Grandpa would be all right. He was just suffering from loss of blood and a fractured arm. What had been strange, was the fact that not much blood had been found on the carpet at all. And the only bleeding injury had been to the side of his neck, which appeared to have been bitten. The hospital said that they would be able to release him in a few days.
It had taken forever to get Yugi to fall asleep. Yami glanced at the clock, 1 a.m. He sighed as he lay down in his own bed, a few feet away from Yugi's. He wouldn't let himself fall into a deep sleep, for fear that he would not be alert enough to protect Yugi if something should come. He went over in his mind all the locked windows and doors downstairs. Then, let himself drift to sleep.

The world spun and shifted in a blur as Emiko and Jean sped through the time and space continuum. Ever so slowly the world began to take on shapes and sounds, things solidified, and they could breath again. The spiraling world became fresh spring evening air, as they began to get their bearings Emiko gave a slight squeak of fright.
"What's wrong?" Jean asked, her mind just beginning to work again.
Emiko stared downwards with a look of terror, closed her eyes, and pointed down. Jean looked down, confused, then yelped in fright. They were floating ten feet above a two-story house, with their baggage floating beside them.And then, the laws of gravity kicked in.
"Oh no-ahhh!" Both sailor scouts plummeted to the balcony below, landing with a loud thud.
"Are you alright?" Jean rubbed her back because she had landed on the corner of her suitcase, but was otherwise unhurt.
"Mmph off ooph my face." Was the mumbled reply. Sailor Alpha quickly rolled off of her suitcase, and lifted it up to reveal her friend.
"Oh, sorry. Are you okay?"
"I think I broke something." Omega sat up and reached down by her feet, picking up the heel to her boot that had broken off. "Lucky these fuku heal themselves." She held the heel to the bottom of her boot and, with a slight gold flash, the boot was instantly back to normal. She smiled, "Okay, now, other than a headache, I'm fine." She looked around as if to see her mother still floating in the air. "I think the computers must have crashed. My mom isn't here with us. Did she follow behind you?" Emiko asked.
"I thought she did. But you must be right, the computers weren't doing so good and they must have crashed. I guess that means we're on our own. Hey, will you see if you can sense any trace of Torami while I check coordinates?" Alpha asked as she stood up, pulling a hand-held computer (courtesy of Sailor Mercury) out of thin air.
"Sure." Omega closed her eyes and felt for the all-to-familiar feel of Torami's energy vibes. She felt a slight twinge, not to recent though. And something else-she concentrated a little harder. There was defiantly something else that emitted energy-vibes. It was right on the edge of her mind, slightly recognizable, as if it was a sleeping power. Emiko had only ever felt this when she had stood near an un-awakened scout. Strange.
" -I've got it!" Jean's exclamation snapped Emiko out of her trance. Instantly the feel of the energy was gone.
"Got what?" Sailor Omega asked quietly.
"Duh, the coordinates. We're just a little off, but I found that we're not too far away from the apartment that my mom rented for us on her last trip here. Did you sense Torami?"
"Yeah. But it's cold, she must have gotten her coordinates mixed a little like ours, and came out of the time-space thingy earlier than us. I'm afraid she might have attacked someone to leave energy behind like this." Omega picked up her suitcase and left the sentence hanging in the air forebodingly.
"Well we need to get going." Sailor Alpha jumped over the railing of the two-story house, landing in the street below.
"Right." Emiko took one more look around, expecting to see the source of the strange energy. Then she sighed and jumped down into the street.
"We'd better de-transform. Don't want to give ourselves away now do we?" Sailor Alpha asked as her fuku faded and became normal cloths. Sailor Omega did likewise, and they headed into the night towards their new mission, and their unknown future.
"What do you have to say for yourselves?" Sailor Mars asked of the two young scouts in front of her. Emiko and Jean looked down at the ground in shame.
"Do go easy on them Raye, it is not their fault." Neo-Queen Serenity stepped between her friend and the young sixteen-years-olds. "This just means that we have to alter our plans a bit." She announced.
