She has been tossing and turning all night, her encounter with Changsou had jarred loose something. Something that was tormenting her right now. A name kept coming up over and over, Chibi-Usa.

Guilty finally woke up and the memory finally cleared off enough.

"They've all betrayed me," the little pink haired girl cried. "Even Hotaru turn her back on me! Please let me join, I will do anything you want."

That's all she could recall, now laying back down she rubbed a temple while trying to sort out what just happened. So far her memories were messy and hard to figure out, but this one was more clearer than the others. Yet she was still confused.

Why is this happening?

"This can't be good," Gemini said as she reread the letter from her cousin. "Not good at all."

"What isn't good?" Gemini almost jumped out of her skin and turned around to see her mother, Buttercup, standing there.

"I got an e-mail from Ginharu," Gemini said as she moved out of the way. "Why don't you read it for yourself?" Buttercup shrugged, she was in the process of reading when she blinked and turn to Gemini. "It sounds like the same blind kid that attack me and the others."

"I... Don't understand, does this mean Alex is... Going to be like him?"

Gemini was silent, she didn't want to really think her sister has gone to the extremes of self modification. But the truth, they both knew Alex did. They were silent while nursing their own thoughts, this situation wasn't good.

It was down right hell for both of them.

"I'm going to be in my lab," Buttercup said without much emotion.

"You going to be alright?"

"No," Buttercup said but walked off. Gemini sighed as she sat there, she knew when her mother needed some alone time.

This is just getting worse by the moment, Gemini thought.

"How was your vacation?" Changsou asked her sister.

"I don't want to talk about it," Ginharu snapped. "Normally when someone goes on a vacation they get away from the problem, not be tracked down and force to partake in a freaky battle."

"Okay, normally I don't say this but you have my attention."

Ginharu sighed as she fell onto the couch. "Okay, first this couple got invovled with some kind of super psychopath. The nut brought a friend that attacked me, it was tough."

"I bet," Changsou said.

"Why does this stuff happens to me?"

"It's a gift," Chongsou replied and gained a pillow to the face.

"On the upside the vacation was cut short, but now I'm wondering about that guy at the school. I have a feeling all of this is connected in a strange way."

"Isn't it always?"

"Mistress, we've got the codes and destroyed the guardian programs," she said. "Why haven't we release Arial yet?"

"Listen to me carefully," Bubbles said as she rested her head on one hand. "Arial requires a host, that requires a bit of programming but also I would be cheating you out of the revenge you deserve."

"But mistress," the girl said. "I already kill them, every single one."

"Except for one," Bubbles said. "One's still active, and the biggest threat to us."

"You're joking."

"I am not."

The girl was silent for a moment than pressed her hands upon the desk. "Who is she?"

"The messiah of silence," Bubbles said. "She's been active for a while now, destroying both Hakke and C.O. bases for us but now I have the feeling she's starting to recall her past."

"Please allow me to tend to this one," the girl said.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Bubbles said. "I am sending our strongest to eliminate our enemies, we can't afford to play any longer."

"Yes mistress."

"You have to deal with the ones here, I'll send Shingo to the America to tend with them."

Sorry for the lack of updates and the slightly choppyness of the chapter, I'm in the process of changing hard drives as this is one knock away from just dying.

On the new drive I'm going to have to restart everything from fresh and I'm only saving - read posting - the most important stories.

Wish me luck.
