So with that out of the way time to get on with the story!
The Cauldron Guardian watched in dismay, as the galaxies were being torn apart by this evil, dying, screaming for help. A tear escaped the golden gatekeeper, spiraling down her cheek. Inside, she screamed too. The many agonized outcries, calling out to her for help. The Cauldron sympathized. All of its children cried out to its Guardian, and yet she could not leave, lest something happened.
The Cauldron reached out to comfort her. It whispered words of sympathy, filling the warrior with its ever-flowing wisdom. The words echoed in the mind of the Golden Solider. She knew the Cauldron was speaking sense, but she could not fight the feeling of agonized helplessness as her friends were slowly dying, yet she could do nothing.
The stone skimmed across the water, creating little ripples in its wake. She sighed again. Life was so deathly quite now that there was no life. Queen Hotaru peered out beyond the pristine lake. Her planet had changed a great deal, now that the illusion of life thrived within the galaxy, all but there. The dark force had taken it away, leaving her with the lake as the only life to be seen.
Although she had survived, there was no help from the other planets. They were all too busy to consider their shadowed friend. She and her planet were vulnerable to another frontal attack, and yet, she was to live on, in an empty shell called home. Not even her friend Chibi-Usa had come to help.
She coughed, raven blood patterning her palm. She was dying, slowly and painfully. The poison had taken her planet hostage and slaughtered her people leaving only her. It had killed her husband and only daughter whoms health had been weak already. For many days and nights she had stayed at the bedside of her loved ones, watching them die, black blood pooling about them. It was during that time that she realized the enormity of the evil force that had swept the galaxy. It was to be the enemy of enemies, soon to completely swallow the planets, galaxies and eventually the universe. She was scared when the thought first crossed her mind, but as the days went passed she came to the inevitable conclusion that this was to be their fate eventually. But surely they could've meet a less painful end.
Now the evil poison had claimed her. The need to contact the other Senshi had become desperate. It was only a matter of time before she would give over to death; despite the fact she knew it was not ready for her. In her mind she knew there was no hope for her, but yet, she desired a friendly face at her bedside; a comforting word every morning and a knowledge that her kingdom would not give over to an incapable leader…like her.
Looking into waters lapping the shore, she saw nothing but pain and suffering from everyone. Was there no laughter left to brighten the universe, love or compassion for those left with nothing but death, a hint of smile from the friendly? This was a force to be reckoned with, and she knew it.
"You would not believe how boring the females are in this land," Yaten moaned, "They all want the same thing."
Seiya knew what he would say next, as it seemed to be his catch phrase, "And what is this 'same thing' you're talking about?"
"They all want sex and money," he laughed.
"Except Usagi. She wants someone who'll love her and treat her like the angel she is,"
Yaten rolled his eyes at his friend. Walking up to him he placed a finger on his forehead remarking, "If it was up to me, I'd have your memory swiped. You wouldn't have to worry about Usagi and I wouldn't have to worry about you costing me a fortune in painkillers for my constant headaches,"
"If you have headaches, shouldn't you see a doctor?"
"I GIVE UP!" Yaten yelled, throwing his arms into the air in an over dramatic gesture. Turning around, he pointed a finger to the door, "That is the direction Usagi should be leaving!"
"Does that mean you've found her?" a voice asked.
A tall figure stood in the entrance, a staff in one hand, "because if you have, the little Empress would love to hear about it,"
"Setsuna-sama! I…I didn't see you there!" Yaten stuttered
"I see," The Keeper of Time came into the light, her dark, emerald hair glistening with supernatural power. Her eyes flashed briefly over Seiya's face, before return Yaten's gaze, "Is there any news on Serenity yet? The Little Empress is getting twitchy and I hate to see her so uptight. I was hoping your investigations had gotten somewhere, but as I see they haven't, "she hung her head in dismay.
The two Starlights exchanged glances. This was the first time they had seen Setsuna so upset. But then they did conclude that Setsuna was more of a guardian to the Little Moon Princess. All of this mess was tearing the scouts apart. They had not heard from one of them for a long while. It was Yaten who plucked up the courage to ask, "Have you heard from Queen Hotaru at all lately?"
Setsuna raised her head slowly, declining, "no. We have initially lost contact with her planet so we have no idea how she has survived. I shall talk to the Empress," she paused, a slight frown forming, "I think it is time we gathered the Senshi."
Yaten and Seiya both nodded in agreement. Setsuna bowed, leaving through the doors. Yaten looked on afterwards, tempted to follow the dark TimeKeeper.
"Yes, That is the direction Setsuna should be leaving hey Yaten?" Seiya smirked.
Yaten turned around and punched Seiya in the face.
A/N: A bit of a short chapter. I'm sorry, it's just I haven't had much time to get my thoughts together so I have strained my brain to produce something for you to chew up in the meantime. Don't worry, it is related. So I hope you have liked it. And thank you to all the people who have reviewed!
Peace Out
