"Bye guys I'll see you tomorrow!"
"Bye Odori! See ya!"
Usagi, Amy, Minako and Makoto walked on as Odori crossed the street and headed home.
"I wonder what Haruka wanted to talk to us about? She sounded grim. Maybe that got news about the new enemy?"
"If that's the case, I don't want to know. The fight against Galaxia was bad enough." Usagi said, biting into a dumpling she saved from lunch.
"By the way, Usagi, how's Mamaru?"
"He's good. His having fun in America. I told him about the new enemies and he wants to jump the next plane home."
"You told him!?"
"He has a right to know." Makoto answered for Usagi to Minako.
"Rei's right. He's the guardian of Earth after all." Ami added.
"True. But now he won't have his mind on work, It'll just be on you."
"I told him about the two new Senchi and he seemed to calm down a bit."
"Yeah. The Sailor Army won't let anything happen to you."
"It's getting to be an Army. There's so many of us Senchi on Earth, we can handle anything."
"Let's hope Makoto." Usagi said low before biting into her dumpling again.
The Sailors met up at Rei's temple and walked in. Haruka, Rei, Michiru sat next to the fire. Setsuna stood next to the door.
"Where's Hotaru?" Usagi said.
"Right here." Said a voice from in the shadow on the other side of the room.
Hotaru stepped out with a dark-gray haired girl. Hotaru sat next to Haruka as Usagi and the others sat next to Rei.
"Guys, I like to introduce the newest member of our team." Hotaru said.
"One of the new Senchi!?" Minako said, stunned.
"First, let me introduce myself to those who don't know me. My name is Sakue. I am also known by another name. But
before I reveal that, I must tell you that I am not an enemy. I came from the planet Tateza."
She began to tell them the story of her organ, much the same as Sun told Uranus days ago. When she finished, she stood quietly, waiting for some sign she had not made a huge mistake.
"So, you ARE one of the new Senchi?!"
"Yes, I am Sailor Polaris."
"This is great! We got a new Senchi!"
"But, eventhough I'm helping you. That doesn't mean I am a Senchi of Earth. I have my own queen, Sailor Moon is not her. I answer to my queen, and my queen alone."
Usagi stood up and walked over to Sakue and held out her hand.
"I don't ask for a new Senchi, just a new friend."
Sakue nodded and took her hand and shock it.
"Then you shall have it, Sailor Moon."
Usagi nodded then released her hand.
"So how did you find out who we were?"
"I have the ability to see someone's soul. I used it on Setsuna and Hotaru when I first meet them. They lead me to Haruka and Michiru and they lead me to you."
"So what with Sun. Are you guys enemies or something?"
"No, just rivals."
"Do you know who she is?"
"Yes, but I can not say. She will reveal herself when she wants to. We all agreed on it."
"Do you know anything about this new enemy?" Ami said, getting to the point.
"Yes, the outers and I fought the one who was sending those monsters, along with Sun. His name was Menkar and he was their warrior of water. He was unfortunately rescued be one of his comrades but I got what I needed from him. The one who rescued him is a warrior of wind and has a mastery of the bow and arrow. I also was able to see something else. When I looked deeper into Menkar's soul, I saw a vision. A great white dog and a great black dog. They were fighting. I saw Menkar with the white dog, he was being protected by it. I've seen this black dog before. But this is the first time I've seen the white one. I've come to the conclusion that the black dog must be the leader of the enemies who are attacking. The white dog must be some one in his ranks who is against him or disagreeing with him. I'll have to look deeper into it but I think I'm getting closer."
"Maybe that white dog can help us?"
"Maybe, but something's not right. Something else happened in the vision. The black dog was fighting against the white dog and a great white bird appeared. The white dog was given a choice by the black dog, kill the bird or be killed. Then, the vision ends."
"That's terrible."
"I know. But I can not stop or explain what I see. I just see it. Sometimes, I with I didn't."
"But what I don't understand is why isn't this coming to me? My fire readings have shown nothing and I usually get dreams when something big like this happens."
"Yes, I know. Did you see a paintbrush, a pencil and a CD a few nights ago?"
"How do you know that?"
"Because I sent it to you. Through your fire, I saw all of what you all have done because when you, Sailor Mars, call upon the fire, you are using your Sailor energy. Your fire acted like a giant storage unit for all your battles, thoughts and visions. It was by this I was able to first locate and find what I needed about all of you. Please, Sailor Mars, don't think wrong of me for doing it. I only saw what I needed to see. Your Identities, your powers, who you know and who you've beaten. I didn't dare dig deeper. I am not like that. I don't look at thoughts that I have no business looking at such as personal thoughts."
"I appreciate that."
"You're welcome. Now, to business. I will be keeping you guys informed if I get any new news. I am posing as one of the student teachers at the elementary school so Setsuna and Hotaru will know before anyone. Haruka, Michiru, if I get any information from Sun, I'll give it to you two."
"What about the rest of us?"
"The outers will relay it to you unless it crucially important. So, my comrades, until next we meet.."
With that, she walked out the door. After she piled into her car and drove away did Minako say.
"Man, Things just got a whole lot more serious."
------------------------
Hike opened her eyes and bolted up.
"It's okay. Your home."
"Sakue?"
"Yeah, It's me. I was real worried about you."
"Are the outers okay?"
"Yeah. I talked to them. They all know about us two."
"Did they,"
"No. I stopped them."
"Good. How's,"
"She's fine. She worried too but she knows she has a job to do."
"How long,"
"Six hours."
"Are you,"
"Nope. I like finishing your sentences."
"Okay. So what's our next move?"
"Dealing with Menkar's buddy. Did you get anything from Menkar?"
"Not much. That dog keeps coming up. It has to be there leader."
"I have a bad felling this new one is even worse. You should have seen him. I've only seen speed like that in one other person."
"Should we prepare her? It may be our only option."
"Good idea. I'll go."
Sakue stood up and walked out of the room and down the hall. She opened up another door and walked in.
------------------------
"Please Great Lord Sirius, forgive me. They caught me off guard."
"Enough. Menkar, you are finished. I've given you enough chances. I'm not going to yell. I'm not going to scream. I want you to listen closely to my words. You, Menkar, are hereby striped of you Lord title, your star crest, and your soul stone."
"Oh no. Please my Lord anything but my soul stone. strip me of what you will but don't take my soul stone!"
Sirius raised one black gloved hand and grabbed at the air. A swirl of light appeared infront of Menkar's chest.
"No, please, no. No! NO!"
His soul stone appeared and he fell. His eyes were blank. His breathing was slow. The soul stone rose into the air and formed into the shape of the great whale, Cetus. The traveled to Sirius and crumbled back into a soul stone and drifted into his hand. Two black caped figures crept to Menkar and turned him over. They removed the poach from around his neck. They tore of the outer layer of his Lord robes and left him quickly. One held up the poach and placed it into Sirius' waiting hand.
"Take him away."
The two figures came forward again and drug him away.
"You lied to me."
"I said he would live didn't I?"
Sirius held out the poach and Procyon snatched it from him. Procyon turned around then looked back with a look of hatred at Sirius. He then looked at the poach in his hand and opened it. A single object popped out. A small vile of water. Procyon looked down at it and a single tear ran down his face. He put the vile back and strung the pouch around his neck. He walked away, with fire in his eyes.
