Chapter 8: The Redeans
A week had past sense they had come to the conclusion that the negative force was trying to destroy some sort of happiness. Nothing else had really happened. Everyone went about they're daily routine. Although each day they cared less and less about it.
Luna, Artemis, and Diana noticed this. On Sunday evening they were all talking. "Have you noticed how glum everyone is?" Diana asked.
"Yes, and I don't like it," Luna replied.
"You're right. I mean the scouts always get alittle down when a new enemy appears, but this is worse then ever," Artemis continued.
"And you'd think that with all the experience they've had they wouldn't worry so much," Diana assumed.
"Do you suppose that our new enemy might somehow be responsible for this?" Luna questioned.
"It's possible. I think we should fallow the scouts to school tomorrow. We need to see if anyone else is getting as depressed," Artemis suggested. Luna and Diana agreed. They normally didn't go to the school, because cats don't normally fallow their owners around. But they need information.
The next morning, when Bunny and Pearl left Luna followed them. The first thing she noticed was that they didn't say good-bye to Darien. At first Darien seemed to notice something was wrong, but then went back to what ever it was he was doing. When she meet up with Artemis and Diana they tried to stay alittle behind the scouts, so they wouldn't be noticed.
"Mina didn't even noticed that I left with her," Artemis told them.
"Yeah, and Rini didn't seem like herself this morning," Diana added.
"Well, Pearl and Bunny didn't say good-bye to Darien this morning," Luna gasped. "I couldn't believe it." Diana and Artemis knew that it was serious. Bunny and Darien would always say good-bye. Sometimes it could take them five minutes to do it. Just then they realized they were at school. Luna and Artemis followed Mina, Bunny, Lita and Ann to their class. Strangely, no one seemed to notice the two cats walking around the school. Or, if they did, no one seemed to care.
When Bunny got to class she saw Molly siting in her desk. Bunny walked over and said "Hey Molly," and then sat down. She received a small grunt of acknowledgment. Luna and Artemis looked at each other, Molly never acted like that.
Melvin came in next and didn't even acknowledge Bunny. He did, however, start up a lively conversation with Molly. A minute ago Molly seemed to be completely depressed, now she was acting like nothing was wrong in the world. Luna and Artemis noticed this with alot of students. In response to some they seemed to be bitter enemy's, although Luna and Artemis knew they were good friends, then to other people they were normal. This was not right.
At lunch time Luna and Artemis meet Diana. "So what was Rini's class like?" Artemis asked.
"It was weird. Some of the kids, who are really good friends, treated each other like enemies. Momo wouldn't even talk to Rini," Diana explained.
"It was the same with Molly and Bunny," Luna admitted. "This has to be the new enemy at work."
Eating lunch with Melvin, Molly started to wonder about Bunny again. "So why do you think she has started to ignore me Melvin?"
"I think that she and her friends have a secret that they don't want to share with us," Melvin replied.
"But Bunny used to tell me everything. What is it she can tell her new friends that she can't tell me?" Molly was upset, and angry.
"I think that Bunny doesn't care for you as much as you care for her," Melvin said. "And I think that we should discover her secret and expose her and her friends for what they really are." Molly agreed. If Bunny couldn't tell her something, then that something had to be bad. And now, always diching her, and then expecting to be friends again in a month or so… no that had to stop. Unfortunately Luna, Artemis and Diana did not here Molly and Melvin's plan.
Queen Ralcea was chuckling in an evil manner when King Rodo entered the room. "Our plan is working."
"Yes, we shall soon have our revenge on the Sailor Scouts," King Rodo agrees.
Long ago, during the Silver Millennium, there lived a people called the Redeans that lived on the planet Redicea. They were an evil race. They were under the rule of Queen Ralcea and King Rodo.
The Redeans wanted to expand their empire. They had heard of the glories of the Moon Kingdom and decided they wanted to take control of it. However, the Redeans were smarter then Queen Metallia would be, they decided that it would be useless to attack the Moon when all the other planets could come to it's aid. Queen Ralcea and King Rodo decided that they would attack each planet separately, leaving the Moon and the Earth to the end, when they would be helpless.
The Redeans decided to attack the planet Pluto first. This was for two reasons. One, Pluto was the smallest planet, and the furthest away from the Moon. The other reason was because it's personal sailor scout was never there, because Sailor Pluto guarded the gates of time.
The Redean's plan was to quietly take over Pluto. They figured that by the time the other planets figured out what happened it would be to late. Once they had control over Pluto the Redeans where going to move in planet by planet until only the Earth and it's Moon were left. Then they would attack and take control of the Moon Kingdom.
The plan for taken control of the planet was simple enough. First they would create chaos on the planet. This was done by turning some friends against each other for no apparent reason. Also, the people of the planet would become lethargic and depressed. This made them all the more vonerable to suggestion. Then the Redeans would come along and make order out of chaos, their kind of order. The people of the planet would never realize what happened because they would be so thankful of the order.
This plan seemed full proof. Sailor Pluto was forbidden from leaving her post at the gates of time, and the scouts from the other planets were busy with their own affairs. What the Redeans didn't realize was that Pluto could watch what was happening on her planet even while at her post. When she saw her planet being invaded she immediately told Queen Serenity.
Queen Serenity called all the Sailor Scouts together to help defend Pluto. Well, all except Saturn, she didn't want the planet to be destroyed. With the cooperation of the scouts, their combined powers pushed the Redeans back to planet Redicea. That's when the Redeans decided they wanted to do away with all cooperation everywhere. And they had vowed to make the Sailor Scouts pay.
"It was so nice of the Sailor Scouts to gather themselves on the same planet for us," Queen Ralcea commented. "It makes our job a whole lot easier that way."
"Yes, and to have secret identities that they hide from their closest friends, why braking their trust in each other will be a snap," King Rodo chucked, cruelly.
"And to think that no one is even guarding Elysion anymore. It makes the perfect hiding place," continued Ralcea. "And it makes taking away their happiness so much easier."
"We shall soon have our revenge on those pesky little Sailor Scouts. They have ruined our work for the last time!" Rodo howled.
Everything was going according to their plan. Once the Redeans had discovered that Sailor Moon had helped the doom tree and it's children escape from their hold the Redeans had decided to use the doom tree for bait. They had waited until two more of it's children had joined it and then gone after it again. Just as they hoped, the doom tree went to Earth seeking Sailor Moon's help again.
The Redeans had followed, but had invaded Elysion first. They knew that the Prince and Priest of Elysion would be easy pray once their home was the hiding place of evil. The Redeans had destroyed the prayer tower, just to make sure everyone realized how much trouble Elysion was in.
Then the Redeans had discovered Sailor Moon's secret identity, and found out about Molly and Melvin. It was easy to turn Molly and Melvin against Bunny, because they were already suspicious of her. Once Molly and Melvin discovered the truth behind Bunny's secret the Redeans knew that it would cause chaos and distrust amongst the scouts.
Everything was working out just as they had planed. Already they could see the people of Earth turning against their friends. When the Sailor Scouts have only each other left, but also distrusted each other, then would be the time for the Redeans to strike.
