Keeper of the Light

Chapter Twelve

By Chang Liko

Disclaimer: I do NOT own anything other than Keeper and a later character, contrary to popular belief.

Heero stared at his friends, noticing the changes that had taken place. Duo was back in his white pants, and sandles with the gold medallion around his neck. His hair was lightened almost to blond with two blue streaks going through his hair and twining into his braid. On his back, was a set of huge falcon wings, blue in color.

Trowa was in the water already since he had changed back to how he was before with his huge tail that was blue and silver in color, along with the huge silver and blue fin on his back and the deep green streak through his hair.

Quatre's hair and skin was once again streaked black with a long black and white tail protruding from his tail bone through his pants.

Wufei's hair had lengthened again and had gained red streaks. His skin was once again scaley and dark red, with flame patterns decorating his chest and arms.

"Now, please try and cooperate with the girls. I don't want you all to die," Heero stated, knowing that he didn't have their attention.

Duo was currently trying to stay exactly an inch above land and managing it quite well. He had been the one to take to his newly returned powers fastest, annoying the hell out of Wufei.

Rolling his eyes, Heero turned to look at the girls as they emerged from Serena's hut. Walking forward, Heero called, "Girls? Are you ready to start training them yet?"

As the girls stared at the guys, amazed, Serena smiled and walked forward, saying, "We're ready to start training. We've already decided who will train who. But first, I have to say. The guys are simply amazing! I can already sense their potential, and they are extremely strong. Not to mention that they are extremely unique."

Smiling, Heero nodded, opening his mouth to reply when Duo let out an alarmed cry. Spinning around, Heero saw Duo about thirty feet in the air.

"HELP! I can't get down!" Duo called out, panicked.

Laughing, Wufei clutched his sides as Trowa and Quatre smiled and shook their heads.

Looking to one another, the girls shook their heads, wondering what they had gotten themselves into. Sighing, Serena shook her head smiling. Stepping away from Heero she took a running jump, wings appearing on her back as she shot into the air towards Duo, faster than any of the girls had ever seen her.

Coming to a stop in front of Duo, Serena said, "Something you should know right away, Wind Child, is that you must never doubt your powers over the wind and air. To do so, will get you into trouble. If you wish to rest on the earth again, then just move your wings up slowly. The momentum will push you towards the earth. But don't push your wings up too fast, otherwise you'll learn the true meaning of crash landing. Do you understand?"

Grinning, Duo nodded, following Serena's words.

When Duo's feet finally touched the ground, he glared at Wufei who was still laughing and shot his wings out to their full size, clipping Wufei and knocking him onto his ass.

As Wufei glared at him and began to glow a dark red, Duo's eyes widened and he snapped his wings, shooting into the air again, barely missing getting hit by the stream of fire that sprang from Wufei's hands. As it was, the fire headed for Serena, who had let her wings disappear.

Eyes widening, Raye bolted in front of Serena, her own fire springing to life and canceling out Wufei's. Glaring at Wufei, Raye began to glow a light red and she stated, "From now on, none of you will use your powers until we say so. To do so, will cause your training to be upped from 18 hours a day, to 24 hours a day! Do I make myself clear?"

Eyes widening, the guys all nodded, except for Wufei who just grunted and turned his back on Raye.

Looking to Amara and Lita, Raye nodded and they yelled out their weakest attacks.

"Mars Fire Balls Ignite!"

"Jupiter Thunder Crash!"

"Uranus World Shaking!"

As the attacks headed on a direct path towards Wufei, his eyes widened and he froze, while the others all looked on, his friends, fearing for his life, and the scouts amused, while Heero just shook his head.

Rolling her eyes, Serena darted in front of Wufei. When her crystal sensed the danger that Serena was in, a huge blast of silver light absorbed the three attacks. Shaking her head, Serena laughed, asking, "I thought that we all promised that we wouldn't try to kill them?"

Crossing her arms, Amara muttered, "The attacks wouldn't have killed him. It would only have knocked him out for a few hours."

Laughing, Serena turned to Wufei, saying, "If you don't want a repeat of those attacks, only stronger, than I suggest you listen to what we say. We are your teachers for the next year, and we will be treated with the respect that we deserve. Next time, I won't step between you and the attacks. I'll let them make contact. Do you understand me, Fire Child?"

Grunting, Wufei crossed his arms, nodding once to let her know he understood.

"Good." Walking away from Wufei, Serena called out, "Wind Child! Come down."

Turning to face the boys once again, Serena questioned, "I would like to know all of your names, please."

As Duo set onto the ground, he said, "My name's Duo Maxwell! I may run, I may hide, but I never lie!"

Grinning, Serena nodded. "Nice to meet you, Duo."

As the others murmured greetings to Duo, Serena turned to look at Wufei, asking, "And you, Fire Child? What is your name?"

"Wufei Chang," Wufei stated.

Smiling, Serena said, "Nice to meet you, Wufei. A word of advice. Don't try to call my girls weak. They'll kick your ass."

As Wufei scowled, Serena grinned, turning to look at Quatre, asking, "Your name, Earth Child?"

Stepping forward, Quatre bowed, saying, "My name, is Prince Quatre Winner, of the Earth Clan. But please, call me Quatre."

"Well! I had no idea that we would be training a Prince. I welcome you to our training camp Quatre. I hope that you enjoy yourself here," Serena replied, smiling kindly as the other girls murmured greetings, bowing also.

Turning to the last guy, Serena smiled, asking, "Water Child? Your name please?"

Nodding, Trowa said, "My name is Trowa Barton."

"Nice to meet you, Trowa," Serena replied, smiling.

"Since we know your names, we'll introduce ourselves," Serena stated. "I am Princess Serenity, the Moon Princess. I am also known as Sailor Moon, and Serena, the leader of the Sailor Scouts. You may all call me Sensei Moon."

"I'm Princess Raye, the Mars Princess from the planet Mars. I am also known as Sailor Mars. You will call me Sensei Mars," Raye stated.

"I'm Princess Ami, the Mercurian Princess from planet Mercury. I am also known as Sailor Mercury, the strategist of the Sailor Scouts. You may call me Sensei Mercury," Ami stated softly, looking at each of the guys in turn.

"I'm Princess Lita, the Jupiter Princess from the planet Jupiter. I am also known as Sailor Jupiter. You will call me Sensei Jupiter," Lita stated, her voice harsh.

Stepping forward, Mina smiled at the guys, causing them to smile back. Then she glared dangerously at them. "I am Princess Mina, the Venusian Princess from planet Venus. I am also known as Sailor Venus, the leader of the Inner Sailor Scouts. You will call me Sensei Venus. Any deviation from that, will result in punishment of the worst kind!"

Mina rapped out, glaring at each guy in turn, causing all the girls to feel sorry for the guys. Mina had always been a harsh trainer, never letting up.

"I am Princess Trista, the Plutonian Princess from planet Pluto. I am also known as Sailor Pluto and I lead the Outer Sailor Scouts. You may call me Sensei Pluto," Trista stated.

"I am Princess Michelle, the Neptunian Princess from the planet Neptune. I am also known as Sailor Neptune. You may call me Sensei Neptune," Michelle said, smiling.

Grinning, Amara stepped forward, cracking her knuckles. "I'm Princess Amara, the Uranian Princess from planet Uranus. I am also known as Sailor Uranus. You will call me Sensei Uranus. Any deviation, and I'll set Mina on ya! And believe me, she's bad. She has a lot of knowledge of torture," Amara stated, grinning at Mina.

"I'm Princess Hotaru, the Saturian Princess from planet Saturn. I am also known as Sailor Saturn, the sleeping scout, since my powers are so dangerous. You may call me Sensei Saturn. And don't be put off by how I look. I may look small, and I may look sick, but I am the strongest scout, next to Princess Serenity," Hotaru stated softly.

Nodding, Serena smiled, saying, "Since we all know each other, why don't we get started right away. The pairings are as follows. Quatre will be trained by Lita and Trista. Wufei will be trained by Raye and Hotaru. Trowa will be trained by Ami and Michelle. And lastly, Duo will be trained by Amara and Mina. Separate into your groups and start training. I'll be circulating amongst the groups, giving advice and help when needed."
