Chapter 2: Seiya's Mission
There was a sudden flash of light and people began to panic. This was how Galaxia's attack had begun on their previous home world. Suddenly a face appeared in the sky as it made an announcement to the people.
"Greetings, I am Akuma. For several millenniums I was trapped in the core of this planet by a magical seal. I escaped from that seal by collecting the energy you fools have been expending by attempting to settle on this rural planet. Now, with the help of the Imperium Silver Crystal, I shall take over this planet that you now call Nagare'boshi! Hahahaha!"
"Seiya, go to Earth and get the Sailor Senshi to help us. Taiki, Yaten and I will try to hold off and repel this 'Akuma' to the best of our abilities. But considering he has the Silver Crystal, I'm not sure how long we'll last against him. While on Earth, be sure to find out from the others how he acquired Serena's Crystal." Kakuu instructed her faithful guardian.
"Yes Princess." And with that, Seiya left for Earth to fulfil her mission.
Upon learning that Serena was missing, the Sailor Senshi had called an emergency meeting at the Hikawa Shrine. It was only about twenty minutes after Darien had finished calling everyone that they were all gathered at the Temple and working on finding the answers/solutions to their questions and problem.
Meanwhile, Seiya was quickly approaching the Earth. Once she landed, she promptly changed into her Earthly male form and headed towards Serena's house. When he arrived, he was surprised to learn from Serena's mother, Ikuko, who had answered the door, that Serena no longer lived there. She lived with her husband, Darien Chiba, in an apartment just across town. Seiya quickly came up with an excuse for not knowing this. He claimed that they had been an old school mate, but had moved away. After moving, the two had lost touch, hence he had no idea that she had gotten married. So, in good faith (and from recognition of his name which he had supplied in his explanation), Serena's mother gave him their new address and added that if they weren't at home, they could be at the Hikawa Shrine where they often hung out with their friends. Beyond that, she had no idea where they could be. Seiya thanked Mrs. Tsukino and hurried off.
After several-failed attempt of finding Serena, Seiya finally arrived at the Temple where the Senshi meeting was taking place.
It was almost 11:00 am now and everyone at the Temple was frustrated and concerned. Amy's computer search had come up with nothing. Raye's fire reading had also come up with nothing and the citywide search performed by everyone else had had the same results. All their attempts to find their friend and leader had proven to be futile. An argument regarding what could or couldn't be done at this point was just starting to escalate when everyone heard the door open. As they all turned their heads to see whom the newcomer was, it was Seiya.
They all stared in shock; their mouths had dropped to the floor. They quickly regained their composure as Seiya entered the room. The first one to speak was Imara.
"What are you doing here?" she asked in a flat, cold voice.
Although Imara had given into Serena and Seiya's friendship in her final moments after Galaxia took her Star Seed, she still didn't like him very much. And with the mood she was in, she was not impressed with arrival at all.
"I need your help." Seiya stated flatly.
"And why should we help you?" Michelle asked a little bitterly, her mood not being much better than Imara's. "We have our own problems to deal with right now, what makes you think we have time to help you?"
"She has a point." Trista said quietly. "Serena has gone missing and there has been no sign of her as of yet."
"Seiya, I wish we could give you whatever help it is that you're asking for, but we HAVE to find Serena. I'm sorry." Raye chimed in.
"And you will find her, but first I need your help. I'm here on a mission given to me by my Princess. Our new home, Nagare'boshi, is under attack by an evil being who calls himself Akuma. He came out of nowhere and claimed that he was going to take over our planet. Due to the fate we suffered at the hands of Chaos and Galaxia, that being the loss of our previous home world, the people began to panic. Our Princess therefore led the people to safety and then returned to face Akuma. As we speak, Maker and Healer are working and fighting with Princess Kakuu to try and repel him, but they will not succeed without your help. They know this, and that is why I was sent here." Seiya explained calmly, but with a hidden inflection of pleading in his voice.
"You haven't answered our question. So I ask again, why should we help you?" Michelle asked coldly.
"Especially when you have so little faith in your Princess and friends and are so sure that they will fail? That's to say nothing of the fact that our Princess is still missing." Imara added icily.
"Because," Seiya said simply, "Akuma has Serena's Imperium Silver Crystal."
AN: I know, this is a rather short chapter, sorry, but I promise the next one will be longer.
F.Y.I. – Akuma = Evil Spirit/Devil in Japanese & Nagare'boshi = Shooting Star (for those who were wondering.)
