Alright, from here out the plot should be thickening. *Nods in reassurance*
Yes you can rejoice! *Flips a coin then scratches down a note to herself.*
What? Why are you watching me still? Keep reading, that is supposed to be
the interesting stuff.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Clenching her fists and popping the occasional knuckle Luna readied herself. It was more than feeling out of place that made her nervous, but also the fact that those she sought would probably be more inclined to kill her for her plans. All the same it was probably more likely that they would kill each other as well, or first. ~Usagi-san, please forgive me for what I am about to do.~ she thought to herself. Her only companion upon her little expidition was the solitary soldier of Time, Pluto. The daughter of Chronos was the only one who could allow the passage between time and worlds.
A shiver pinched at her heart, but Luna did her best to ignore it. She wasn't going to let anything diverge her from her quest.
With a deep, shaking breath she clenched her small human hands and forced herself ready.
Straining her feet forward she rounded a corner and approached a small, blond teen. The girl stared at her in disbelief, as if amazed anyone would intentionally cross her path.
"Sumima-" Luna bit her tongue. She had been speaking Japanese so long that English almost seemed foreign. "Excuse me," she began again, "but I need your help."
The dark blue eyes didn't waver. "What do you want, priss?"
"I can't tell you."
"No tell no go. Comprende?"
"I will tell you if you come with me."
The girl laughed, obviously attempting to sound mocking. "What kinda idiot do you take me for? I'm blond but not stupid."
"I know that you are a great leader."
"You know jack shit about me. Who the hell do you think you are, thinking you can just take me anywhere you want. I am not that kinda girl."
Sighing Luna shook her head. "You're assistance is needed, along with four others. You need to help me, and your twin star."
Again the girl snorted, now gripping the visible hilt at her hip. Noticeably Luna paled. "I have already determined my aligance. . . there is nothing you can do that can take me away from here."
Choking color back into her features she held back a frown. "Maybe I cannot force you, but I do know someone that can."
Mina didn't have a moment to protest as her head suddenly echoed like a mission bell before everything went black. Fighting a small chuckle Luna shifted her gaze to the taller woman who was replacing her staff at her side. "Go a little easier next time. We do not need them to gain a concussion."
Pluto shrugged and lifted the unconscious Tenno over her shoulder. "Perhaps it will only serve to teach as a lesson in avoiding being pig headed and stubborn."
Lightly Luna allowed herself a small laugh. "Perhaps. But we must hurry and find the others before the night is-"
"Put her down or I shall be forced to harm you."
Startled both looked to their side to see the tip of a katana itching to rip them into slivers. Pluto finally shrugged and looked to her shorter companion. "You are the councelor, talk to her."
Darkly the cat woman glared. Knowing she was defeated, though, she soon turned to the next. "We are just borrowing her for a little while. She will be back and better than ever shortly. You are more than welcome to join us. In fact, I would most appreciate your company as is." ~She's going to kill me.~
"Taking her where?"
"Join us and you will see." ~I'm dead.~
"You think I am a fool to fall for such simple deceit?"
"I swear we mean absolutely no harm to you or your companion." ~I wonder if getting run through with a sword really does hurt as much as most people act in the movies. Then again, Luna, don't think about that!~
"I do not believe you." Raye bit her tongue to hold back the nervous twitch that wanted to rattle her nerves at seeing the small crescent moon on the shorter woman's forehead. She was lying though her teeth, but would not even admit to it if she were being tortured to death.
"Fine, then I give you my word. If I deceive you then you have my permission to kill me without struggle." ~Priority one, as of now: get that sword away from her before she kills you.~
Raye considered for a moment, then finally nodded, keeping her trusty katana tightly in hand all the while. Light heartedly Luna instructed for Pluto to take their "guests" to a designated area and wait for her. Without hesitation the Scout of Time nodded and lead the way.
With similar difficulties Luna gathered the remaining three. Including a verbal argument of colossal brain proportions against Amy, and a sparring contest with Lita. But Serena was different. When offered the chance to leave the shit rag town she had more than eagerly jumped at the opportunity, quickly forgetting the infant whom was still back with her father.
Molly had tried to protest, but Serena quickly silenced her with a glare that could kill a spider at a thousand paces.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I know you are all wondering why I brought you here, and where you are." Luna stated, pacing at just enough of a distance that a flying leap would be the only thing that could take her down. Ever since they had arrived within the time gap the girls had been nearly ready to rip the throats out of the others. Swallowing hard Luna struggled on.
"I know none of you are probably going to believe me but what I have to say is completely true. Yes, it sounds like something out of a little girls fairytale book, but as they say, truth is stranger than fiction. You see, you are all warriors." Snorts of unbelieving laughter made her twitch. "Warriors from a kingdom lost to time."
"What kind of warriors, something like a knight in shining armor, or more like a covert ops?" Serena leaned forward, a questioning look in her eyes.
Biting back her nervousness Luna proceeded to tell the tale of the lost Moon Kingdom and the rebirth of all the Planetary Scouts. Obviously none of the new recruits believed her. When finished an uneasy silence settled over the group.
"That is the biggest load of crap that I have ever heard!" Lita exclaimed, jumping to her feet. "What the hell do you think we are, simpletons?"
Luna was momentarily taken aback, finally glancing to Setsuna. She had powered down before the others had arrived and now stood in plain clothes, patiently waiting for the feline woman to acknowledge her. "If you would." She sighed.
Setsuna nodded and gripped her henshin pen, calling out to the true nature of her being. The would be scouts stared in shock as the taller woman's attire changed before their eyes.
Harboring a smirk of confidence Luna turned back to her collection. "Any more questions?"
"Yeah." Mina piped up. "What the hell does all of this have to do with us?"
