I know at this point there are probably a lot of typos here and there, but
I am just gonna say screw it for now and go back and fix them when I am
done with the story. Mostly for the fact that I am too lazy to do it in the
first place I guess. But, eh--- you guys can read just fine with or without
the ty- *pauses and pulls out a .45 revolver, empties all six chambers and
pockets the weapon* with or without all the typo demons floating around.
Currently I am sure you are confused as the Corners in what the hell is
going on. *grins* Excellent *taps fingers together like Mr. Burns.* *clears
throat* okay, return to the tale!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What the hell does all of this have to do with us?"
"I was just getting to that. You are the missing side of my tale. There is always a light and dark side to everything. Especially the moon. The night that Beryl attacked and destroyed everything that was sacred the Elite were nowhere to be found. They hadn't been seen for over a decade. Many thought that they were hiding, biding their time to attack and took too long. But the queen knew. They had been lost long before. The Silver Millennium may still be standing today if it hadn't been for another attack. The queen had been abducted years before. He was a warlord from a distant universe who called himself Odin. The Elite were the first ones that Queen Serenity summoned to guard her side the moment she returned home. Very few knew about them as is, hence they were the perfect ones for the task. They could stay hidden even when directly beside her."
"So what happened to them?" Lita's green eyes narrowed.
"I honestly do not know the specifics. I heard rumors that the king had taken them with him when he set out to destroy Odin once and for all. None of them had ever returned, to my knowledge. I assume they were killed, because of the fact that you are here." She stifled a smirk at the new bout of disbelieving looks. "I know you are who I seek because, well, haven't you ever felt that you didn't belong somewhere?"
"You mean like here? Wherever the hell it is you have stuck us."
"This is a void between time. You could stay here for what seems like an eternity and return to where you came the moment you left, or any other that you choose to go. But only the guardian of time can allow you the passage." Five pairs of eyes shifted to Pluto who nodded once in acknowledgement.
"So why are we here?"
Luna's eyes shifted to Amy. "To begin your training. In the stars I have sensed a new darkness growing. The Planetary Scouts are not always string enough to defeat every enemy that comes along. They are too soft at times. They will need help." Lightly she flicked her wrist at the five, each finding themselves to be holding a small silver locket of Varying shape. For Serena the pendent was of a pair of crescent moons, bases touching so points faced opposite directions. To Amy a wing. Lita a pair of thunderbolts in and X form. Mina a heart. And finally a sword to Raye.
"These," Luna continued, "are the focus of your abilities. With them you become the past. By calling out your true being."
"And those would be?" Lightly Raye brushed aside a few strands of her short black hair.
"The Mirror to your twin star." Again she was regarded with blank stares. Clearing her throat in embarrassment she explained further. "You are the original Scouts of this galaxy. The third Queen Serenity realized that she could not always rely upon the guards. She knew she needed a better form of protection, so created whom she called the Elite. From each of the four closest planets and a noble girl of the Moon court she endowed with special powers. All were of royal blood, but she chose her niece to be the leader of the troupe, the one whom she named Sailor Maria. Her second in command was from the Earths sister planet." Her eyes shifted from Serena to Mina. "Sailor Aphrodite. From Mercury came Sailor Hermes. From Jupiter, Sailor Zeus, and from Mars, Sailor Ares. She knew that you would always be in the shadows and most likely would not get all the credit you deserved, but the originals consented anyway, none of which particularly caring for the lime light. No scouts were more loyal, but all the same were not perfect royalty. After eons of service I am sure they grew tired of life and servitude. Though they never would have tried overthrowing Serenity I still was able to sense the darker sides to their personalities."
"You trying to insinuate that we are evil?" Amy's eyes narrowed to slits, the other girls chorusing their agreement.
Frantically Luna waved the comment aside. "NO! Wh-what I mean is that you are better suited for these type of tasks because you understand the way people like that think. Not to say you are evil. Heavens no. I have only known one scout who went truly overboard. She was too powerful for her own good."
"Are you trying to put us in the same-"
"Quit trying to put words in my mouth!"
Mina was quickly silenced.
Clearing her throat Luna looked over the five girls gather. "Any more questions or comments?" Silence replied, along with a mixture of uncertain shifting and grumbles. "Fine. Fine. Then onto training lesson number one." Her eyes settled back onto Serena. "Because you are the leader I suppose it is fitting to start with you. Please stand." She motioned for the blond to step forward. Hesitantly she did so, unconsciously gripping the pendent tighter. Sweetly Luna smiled at her. "Ready?"
"Do I have a choice?"
The other womans smile broadened a little more. "Good point. No. So, without further adieu, all you need to say is 'Soul of Maria, make up!'"
Serena cringed at the others enthusiasm. "I hate you." She couldn't help but mumble under her breath. Releasing a defeated sigh she tried to mock Luna, but as the last word past her lips the feeling of being lost in a tsunami. But she wasn't afraid as the cool ripples encircled her body.
Blinking back her shock Serena looked at the blank stares around her. To her shock Serena found herself in what felt like a cheerleaders costume. Around her throat two small bands of a choker crossed with her apparent symbol holding which together. A dark violet sailors collar with silver edging, sat upon her shoulders, dipping down showing slight cleavage while her pendent held the ends and a small black bow in the middle of her chest. Her skirt barley came to her mid thighs and was dark with the familiar band of silver lining the bottom edge. The rest of her bodysuit was a sheen-less black, leaving her shoulders bare save for the collar. In the middle of her forehead she could sense the familiar symbol. Finally she noticed her hair was pulled up into a pair of strange meatballs with braided pigtails hanging just about her mid back. "I feel like a fucking preppie." She couldn't help but clenched fists, becoming mildly aware of her gloves covering her hands. They hardly covered up past her wrists drawing up to a point half way up the back of her arms. As well she wore boots that were of the same style, just barley covering her knees. Both gloves and boots contained the same style of coloration as her skirt and collar.
Lightly Luna laughed. "I suppose I cannot blame you. But in this form you possess more power than even Sailor Moon."
"Stop me from leaping for joy." She rolled her eyes in irritation, crossing arms and yawning in boredom.
Luna ignored the comment and returned her attention to the other four. "Your turn." Groans of annoyance echoed from the remaining girls. "Common. There is nothing different. Just call out your respected name in it's place."
Nervously the others exchanged glances. Finally sighing Mina stepped forward. "Fine. I'll go next." Biting her tongue she released a deep sigh and gripped the pendent tightly then raised it over her head. "Soul of Aphrodite, Make up!" Within seconds she was dressed just like the other blond before her, the only differences being the silver heart upon her brow, choker being of two parallel bands with the heart in their middle, and her main color being pine green instead of violet.
In turn the others as well changed. Hermes in a dark blue, Zeus in dark gray, and Ares in a deep crimson.
"So now what?" Annoyed Maria shifted her weight, waiting for an explanation.
Smirking Luna's eyes glittered in mischief. "Now we begin training."
