arianna2344: I'm glad you like the fic Gives you biscuits for being the first person to give me a review Australia was an easy choice 'cos, hey, I live there. And you're right, no-one does it. You really think the Cheshire Cats are like Brian? (who is a top-dog character, don't get me wrong… Pardon the really bad pun). I never thought of them like that… I guess you could probably be right. I don't watch "The Family Guy" that much as I have to be bothered to figure out what time it is every day to do that, and the rest of my family thinks it's stupid anyway… So… Well, here's the update you asked for!

I apologise for this being a really short chapter. Not to mention a bit confusing (don't worry, you'll get that italics part a bit more in the third series. It's not that far away, 'cos the first series is nearly over and the second won't be very long either).

Oh yeah. I don't own the concepts of Senshi, blah, blah, blah. But please respect the fact that I own the characters and story and the other concepts.

THE FATE SENSHI

AUTHOUR: Jetster

1st Round (Practice Round)

4th Deal: Jack of Clubs

It was a perfectly normal day in Launceston, Tasmania. The young girl grinned as she stepped along the stone wall. For once she had gotten out of the house undetected and could go for a nice calm walk.

♣

"They haven't found the last one of us yet" Cara noted. She and Brogan were sitting, untransformed in the mysterious white waiting room of CARD. It had become their meeting spot, as they weren't exactly going to fly over to each other's states to talk to each other.

"We haven't exactly met The Queen either" Brogan replied

"I know. I wouldn't mind meeting her properly. You think Joker would tell her to come here."

"We should find one of the cats and get them to take us to Adelaide to meet her."

"That would be fine, except the two of them are out looking for the Jack in Tasmania" Joker appeared at the doorway, a surprisingly different entrance for the man.

"What? They went without us?" Cara pouted, "That's no fun. Why didn't they take us?"

"Well, I have a feeling that Roll didn't exactly see us as helpful when we went to Adelaide. He found Hearts while we were out eating"

"I see your point"

"Don't worry. You two will meet the other two soon enough." Joker coughed and looked back down the hallway. He hummed. "I'll see you two later" with that, Joker walked back out the door.

"He's right, you know. Roll is right near the Jack about now" The girl's twisted around to see Flip behind Cara.

"Why are you here?" Cara asked.

"I'm sure Roll is perfectly fine with the task of bringing in one Senshi. He brought Spades and Hearts here in one piece, so Roll mustn't have that much trouble to need me there to help him."

"I guess you're right"

♣

Roll sat next to the wall. She was coming. Slowly, granted, but she was coming all the same. Soon the searching would be over.

A childish voice humming tune could be heard a little way down the wall. Roll's ears flicked in the direction, but he did not move from his position. He had to be sure he was right. He had to observe until something happened.

"KITTY!" Roll hadn't expected that. He looked up in shock to see the girl bending over him trying to pick him up.

Then she bent over too far, and lost her balance. She was falling, onto him.

Roll looked behind him. There was a piece of sharp glass on the ground, just next to him. She would land on that too, but if he went to move it out of the way, he would bear the full weight of her body mass. He quickly moved to kick the glass away.

Then got squashed.

♣

The girl got up slowly.

"Oh, kitty! Are you OK?" She picked the slightly-sore, grinning cat up and gave it a hug.

"Well, you're a little clumsier and more innocent than the guard I was expecting but…"

The girl pulled Roll away and put him on the ground.

"But what?" Roll was startled at the fact that the girl was not startled.

"What is your name, child?"

"Minty Gordons"

Roll's grin widened.

He had found Sailor Clubs, and she was more than he had expected.

♣

Joker was back in the waiting room with Brogan and Cara, not answering any of the questions they were throwing at him, replying that they were 'classified'

"Come on! We're a part of this organisation now aren't we? What are the Senshi needed for?" Brogan was starting to get impatient.

Flip appeared again, this time right next to Joker.

"He's found The Jack" The girls looked at each other excitedly.

"So where is she?" Joker asked

"Roll's taken her to the Briefing room. He has given her the gear and beginning the training without you"

"WHAT! Why?"

"She's a little more than expected. Her last name is Gordons. Does that ring any bells for you?"

Joker was very quiet. He whispered, very slowly.

"Oh my God"

With that he ran off down the corridor, towards the briefing room. Flip looked at Cara and Brogan, who didn't know whether to be excited or confused anymore.

"I think this may be a good time to get The Queen. The Jack won't be long"

Flip vanished, leaving The Ace and The King alone again.

♣

"It's amazing… I can't believe her daughter's a Senshi. After all these years of being unable to track her down, and her daughter just falls onto Roll"

"The Kismet could have told us"

"You three did not ask me"

"We did not wish to bother you, Yu-"

"Do not call me by my name at this stage. You know it's too risky"

"Sorry… Lady Luck"

"I forgive you"

"Thank you"

"…"

"What is it?"

"They're going to break through soon. You found her just in time. Track down her family. More importantly, her mother. You'll find her easy enough"

"Did you see these events happening already?"

"Yes"

"Oh"

"…"

"Situation Complete"

"Let them meet. But not a normal meeting. Put them in the simulator"

"I will"

"I know you will"

♣

Joker came into the waiting room. Flip still hadn't come back with The King. Brogan and Cara were still waiting expectantly. They stood up as Joker entered the room.

"Well, where is she?" Brogan asked.

"The Kismet has asked that you transform and make your way to the Briefing room"

"Are we going to meet the other two?" Cara jumped from foot to foot.

"That's up to you two"

Joker left the room again. The two looked at each other. Cara grinned.

"Nothing for it then"

"Nah!"

"DIAMONDS… DRAW… POWER!"

"SPADES… DRAW… POWER!"

♣

Joker was at the desk of the simulator. He looked like he didn't know whether to be excited or grim.

"Where are the other two?" Spades asked

"Inside the situation already"

"Aw, so we missed out?" Diamonds pouted and twirled her pistol.

"No. You have to go in. You'll each be put into different locations of the situation. The goal is to find the rest of the Senshi, and to destroy the target together."

"Oh. OK" Spades looked a little unsure, "I'll go first then I guess"

Sailor Spades walked into the room. Sailor Diamonds couldn't see inside the room, as she was too close to the door. Before she could move, Joker pushed her in.

Joker grinned as he closed the door.

"Good luck girls. You'll need it in that situation"

MUHAHAHAHAHA! CLIFFHANGER!

"It was a perfectly normal day in Launceston, Tasmania"

It's come to my attention that people don't know their Geography. My advice- get a world map. Though I will tell you that Tasmania is under the state of Victoria, it's a little part of Australia that is separated from the mainland (which means it's an island). I should say that as I know some American maps especially have a habit of leaving out Tasmania. Though I must say, a few American maps were given to us at school one time and they didn't have Australia on it at all, so you can count yourselves lucky :P
