The five of them appeared back in the weapons room just as silently as they had disappeared. At first, Heero just stood there, waiting for his friends' reactions to all that they had seen. He didn't have to wait long.
"Cool!" Duo exclaimed. "I thought that I would never see those powers again!"
Staring at Duo, Wufei grinned, saying, "Well, I always had confidence that I would see my powers again. It was only right. I mean, after all, they wouldn't have been given to us if they were not to be used again."
Nodding, Quatre looked to Heero, asking, "Um, did my sister survive?"
Looking away from the others, Heero sighed, saying, "It is not my place to tell you that. I know that I told you when we first met, that she would become immortal, and she is, but I cannot tell you if she survived. Not in a way that you will understand."
Bowing his head, Quatre smiled sadly, saying, "I understand."
Looking to Trowa, Heero questioned, "What is wrong? Why are you so silent? I would have guessed that you would have returned to your normal self. After all, when we first met, you were like Duo, playful and open with everyone."
Sighing, Trowa nodded, saying, "It is true. I was playful and open. Most times, I wouldn't stop talking. But I have changed, Keeper. I still have my previous nature, but I think that there are more important things to worry about now. You would not have awakened our memories and sleeping powers had they not been needed at this time. I sense it myself. A powerful evil, something that not even the four previous gods would have been able to stand up to. We need to worry about defeating them."
Sighing, Heero nodded, saying, "You are right, Trowa. We do need to worry about defeating them. The evil won't be strong enough to do anything for another two years yet. During the next two years, we will need to train with several powerful beings. You will each have to learn magic and fighting. Both will be extremely important in the upcoming battle. To accomplish this, we will need to visit a couple different dimensions. Two specific ones. We will spend a year in each one. In one dimension, you will learn magic from a group of extremely powerful girls called the Sailor Scouts. They are experts in magic and anything magical. They are led by an extremely powerful Princess named Serenity. In the other dimension, you will learn fighting and the art of Ki from a group of fighters called the Z Fighters. This group is filled with extremely powerful being that could destroy all of you without even a glance at the powers you now posses. Are you willing to complete this training?"
"You expect us to train with women!? Women are weak! I refuse to be trained by women!" Wufei exclaimed, crossing his arms stubbornly.
Chuckling, Heero questioned, "Do you remember Merian? I was with her when she passed on. Her dying wish, was to have you train under women if your powers were ever needed. She thought that it might improve your view of women, and their supposed weakness."
Growling, Wufei glared at Heero, mumbling, "Damn interfering onna!"
Chuckling, Heero looked to the others, asking, "Other than Wufei's objections of having to train under women, do either of you have any objections to the training I have stated?"
Receiving negative answers from the other three, Heero nodded, saying, "Fine. We will leave in three days. I have to prepare your new living arrangements, and inform your sensei's of your impending arrival." With that, Heero disappeared in without a trace, leaving the others to find their own way back to the house to pack.
To Be Continued...A/N: I'm sorry to be so extremely late to get this chapter out, but I'll try and get a few more chapters to this story in the following weeks. Again, I apologize for not getting this out soon. Please Review!!
