"Your beasts failed."
"I'm sorry my Lord. I am a disgrace. Please, I beg you, do not harm me."
"I WILL DO WHAT EVER I WISH!"
The dark leader was about to smote his underling all over the floor, until he saw the face of his younger brother. It was full of malice. The elder lowered his hand and calmed himself.
"I will give you one more chance Menkar. YOU will engage the Sailor's in battle. If you fail, your death will be on their hands, not mine."
"But my Lord, I am a scientist, not a warrior."
"YOU DARE QUESTION ME?!"
"No my Lord. I will do as you wish."
With that, Menkar ran back into the shadows.
"You know you should really watch that temper of yours."
"I've had to put up with Menkar's failer while you, otouto, insist on me sparing him."
"I have good reason Oniisan. Menkar is younger then us. We took him in as a mere child. I consider him one of us. Would you treat Thuban the same way?"
"No, I guess not. I am sorry, otouto, I guess I'm just really stressed. If we don't get more soul stones, we can't start the ceremony. These stupid girls are always getting in the way."
"But you have to admit it Oniisan, they are warriors worthy of battle. We haven't had a real fight for a long time. It's time to so them and this planet who is Lord."
"Looks like you are finally getting into this otouto."
"Maybe I am. But I'm worried about Menkar. If he gets in trouble, send two of the others to get him."
"Why should I?"
"Our agreement Oniisan."
"So now your going to use it against me? Not very noble of you is it otouto."
"Thuban is your friend, Menkar is mine. I don't want him killed, even if he does fail. It won't do any good for our image to the lesser Lords if we send him to his death."
"Then what should I do? Send him into battle then give him a glorious welcome when he fails? The lessers will have a field day!"
"No Oniisan. If he fails against the Sailor's, bring him back here. We should be able to get enough information out of him to send a better suited lord up against them."
"And what of Menkar? You precious friend?"
"Banish him. Stripe him of his crest and send him to a distant star."
"Just don't kill him?"
"No, don't kill him. Let him rot in a hole in a distant planet grave, as long as I know his blood isn't on anyone's hands but his own. I don't want him dying infront of me. I watch another I cared about die before my eyes."
"Very well otoutosan. I will send Rukbat to his aid if he fails."
"Thank you Oniisan. I owe you one."

Odori waited alone at her home after school. She was done with her homework and was listening to music. She heard a motorcycle pull up and park itself. The person on the bike walked in and weaved her way to Odori's room.
"So, why did you need to talk to me?" Hike said as she sat down on Odori's bed.
"I want to fight. My new friends are good Senchi, I want to help them."
"No Odori. Your our secret weapon. Sakue and I will take care of these new enemies. Your job is to keep your cover and keep a close eye on Sailor Moon. Our Queen sent us here for a reason, I just know it. If we need you, we'll send for you."
"Oneesan, I want her to hear the melody."
"She will. One day they will all her the melody."
"Promise Oneesan?"
"I promise."
"I'm sorry my Lord. I am a disgrace. Please, I beg you, do not harm me."
