Chapter 5:

Kage-ki walked faster then the others, her things stuffed into a small bag with a charm to make it lite. The others accept Kasumi struggled to keep up till at last Kage-ki found a small cave.

"This place will do, everyone in, I'll keep first watch." Kage-ki said, and hurried every one inside. Rhea was the first one out, barely making a bed she was out cold. Next Okaru fell asleep, but before sleep she muttered something about a powder. Kasumi, and Kage-ki became alert, backing slowly out of the cave, but it was to late as the two fell into a deep sleep.

Small creatures ran around the four sisters, Kasumi shaking as they tried to touch her.

"My children that's enough bring them inside." A voice said the creatures quickly pulled the four sisters deeper into the cave.

Okaru opened her eyes slowly; thousands of candles surrounded her. Chains held her tight to a cold smooth pillar that made her shiver. Across from her hung Rhea, and to her left Kasumi. Kage-ki was nowhere in sight, but to her right lay a giant rock box that looked like a coffin. A voice began to speak but all Okaru could her was the pain of others. The screams were also muffled, but rang clearly in Okaru's mind. In a single instant it was gone.

"Ah so I see you like that trick of mine." The voice said, as a woman appeared in the center of the room. Okaru looked at the woman with an eyebrow raised.

"Who are you?" Okaru asked.

"Who me?" the woman said, she pushed her hands out and began to float. "I am the protector of this world I keep the balance, I choose who lives, who dies, what grows I am what humans call Mother Nature." Okaru said nothing but hate filled her eyes.

"Well I don't approve of people who make my sister mad." Kasumi said, her eyes were darkened.

"Well well you are protective art you?" The woman said turning to Kasumi, "Although I already learned that from Dnim, which was the death of him." A large bang was heard in the chest. Rhea's voice was clear, and her eyes a glow with an icy blue mist.

"That would be impossible our mother was sent to this planet after it's creation by the Guardians. She and her sisters were separated, and sent to the 9 planets in this galaxy. Some of her sisters including herself were given individuals that we call moons; they help and follow the protectors that protect the planets around. Our mother was the one for earth, not you." Another Bang from the chest, and the woman just laughed.

"Do you honestly think you mother was protector of this planet, I was me not her. She couldn't even kill a fly." The woman froze as a familiar voice spoke.

"No, but she was fairly good in the first battle against her father." The voice came from a girl about the height of 5'2. Her hair was in pig tails that reached down to her thighs. It was also a silvery blue color that reminded the sisters of the moon. "Good to see you again Fana." The girl said as she sat swinging her legs on the chest. She was dressed in a pair of black overalls with a white t-shirt underneath. "So how have you been?" The woman screamed and before Okaru, Rhea, or even Kasumi could say a word thousands of creatures appeared and surrounded the pillars, as well as the girl. The girl smiled and stood on top of the chest. "Its funny that you still believe you are more superior then Niy." The woman hissed and growled the girl.

"You will not be subjected to my mercy. Your nor them they will be sacrificed after I find out where Niy is." The woman screamed her face was a deep shade of red. The girl laughed. Her eyes were shadowed with shadow; a shadow also absorbed the chest.

"You honestly think you can stop them there power can match Mercury's, yours is even lesser then Pluto although she's still not weak. Know do you honestly believe you can defeat them and me?" the girl laughed again and leaped off of the chest toward the woman. The girl looked shocked when she froze in the center of the sisters, and chest. "so you have learned a few more tricks."

It was the woman's turn to laugh and she did. But before she had a chance to say anything, the chest burst open.
