Chapter Four
" No way you guys are scouts too?!" exclaimed Mina at the scout meeting.
" Yes," said Ite " But we had no idea you guys were either, so it's a stale mate."
" So why are you here?" asked Ami, " Does it have anything to do with our enemy?"
" I'm afraid so," said Shinsetsu her face reflecting grimness.
" So explain," said Rei impatiently
" Okay, well first off we're scouts from the future so to speak," said Ryoko.
" What do you mean so to speak?" asked Serena
" I'm getting to it. We are from the possible future, the future that could happen if our little problem isn't solved." Said Ryoko.
" So what your saying is that your from an alternate dimension," said Lita.
" Yes," said Ikari bluntly. " If you put in that perspective,"
" But whose our enemy?" asked Amara impatiently.
" Our enemy is Hecate, the brother of Queen Nephrenia," said Ite.
" What?!" asked all but three of the scouts.
"How could that be?" asked Amara.
" We don't know but unless we stop Hecate, the future we come from now will be probable." Said Shinsetsu. " But remember all but two are gone,"
"Who are the two survivors?" asked Serena
" You and Rini are the only remaining original scouts." Said Ryoko. " Hecate appeared right about ten years ago in our past after killing the keeper of time, you Pluto. From there he brought with him all of his evil armies from the blackness of the universe, the scouts were overpowered but they sacrificed themselves to keep you and your young child alive." Said Ryoko looking at Serena.
" With all your protectors gone and Prince Endymion killed you and your daughter were forced to hide. Fortunatly Diana, Luna and Artemis's daughter also survived and was able to find us and awaken us. From then on it was us the scouts of fate and both of you the scouts and princesses of the moon, that fought Hecate's forces." Said Shinsetsu. " After a few years Rini found the time key she thought she had lost, and traveled back her in time to prevent the future from happening, at her mother's insistance we followed. But now it seems that hecate has somehow followed us back,"
The whole room was in silence after hearing the ordeal.
" So we all die." Said Lita quietly, breaking the silence. " Well we'll go down with a fight." She said slamming her hand down on the floor.
" Rini is all of this true?" Serena asked Rini looking at the young pink-haired girl.
" Yes," said Rini looking down at the floor feeling Serena's arm around shoulder.
" If you'll excuse us we need to leave, a lot of unpacking left to do." Said Ryoko with a small apologetic smile. " Sorry for bringing the bad news."
" It's alright Ryoko, one of us would have to have told them sooner or later," said Pluto causing everyone in the room to look at her
" You knew?" asked Mina.
" Only a hunch," said Pluto. " But Saturn informed me on the situation after separating from Rini the other day,"
" Oh, well if we had known we would have let you tell," said Ite, before walking out the door.
" Bye Rini, everyone," said Ryoko walking out the door, followed by Ikari and Shinstesu who merely nodded.
" Well I think we should all go home," said Ami standing up. " It's getting late."
" yeah see you at school in the tomorrow," said Serena and the others waving goodbyes before walking out the door.
" I think the news hit them hard," said Shinsetsu as they watched the others walk their separate ways from across the street.
" Yeah, but they would have found out anyway." Said Ite.
" Rini why didn't you say anything about the future?" asked Serena as she and Rini walked home.
" I didn't want to worry you," said Rini looking at Serena.
" Rini we would have found out," said Serena.
" I know but in the future I don't have my friends, and I like it here, it's so natual unlike in the future." Said Rini.
" What do you mean so natural?" asked Serena.
" I mean the future looks like now but there's no nice peole around the city is in anarchy there are fights, its just hard to explain, oyu'd have to see t for yourself," said Rini shaking her head.
" Well maybe I won't see it," said Serena looking at the moon. " I wish Darien were in Tokyo instead of visiting friends in Kyoto." Said Serena sighing.
" When will he be back?" asked Rini.
" In a few days, Why?" asked Serena suspiciously.
" No reason," said Rini smirking, Serena knew better.
" Okay you little twit, Darien is mine not yours, he's your daddy," said Serena pulling Rini in a headlock
" Kinda hard to call me little when I'm your height!" said Rini trying to pull out of the headlock, " Besides I have a message to give to him from moma in the future,"
" Oh is that it. Okay then I'll let you off the hook," said Serena letting go of Rini. " hey I'll race you home!" she said taking off.
" Hey wait up, that's no fair you got a headstart!" sai dRii running after Serena.
" No way you guys are scouts too?!" exclaimed Mina at the scout meeting.
