There were so many people around her. It reminded her of home and how it used to be with all its people and the language. She sighs inwardly and caught herself looking into a window at some food. She was so hungry, so very hungry. ' I could eat a fleet of ships' she thought looking longingly at what seemed to be some cookies a delicious looking cake and muffins.

"Hey you.." A young girl looked out at her. "Are you hungry?"

The little girl looked frightened. Not many people in this place were nice to her. They were really mean and wanted to hurt her, but this lady seems nice….

She moved towards her, her steps timid and cautious like a deer in open ground.

The young girl smiles at the small child and took her small brown hand in her own pale one. "What's your name sweetie?"

The little girl looked up at her and smiles shyly saying, "Elation."

"Elation…."The older girl tries it out and then nods, "Well that's a pretty name. They call me Lena. It's sort for Alena." She walks the child into the bakery.

Lena set Elation on the counter in the back. "I'm going to make you something to eat and then you will get a bath and get out of those rags. " She says and brushes her dark purple hair out of her face, her pale green eyes set on the child before her.

Elation was wearing a ratty looking shirt with pants that's that were too small and just as holey. The girl's hair was dull with dirt and soot that also covered her body. Lena inwardly cringed at the thought of the bathtub now.

She smiles, "Okay how about we make it bath first?"

Elation nods with a smile, "okay."

"This was all we found at the crash site." Ami pressed a button while she talked. The pod appeared as a hologram for all to see. "It seems to be from another planet perhaps outside the solar system."

"So, what was inside it is what we need to know." Haruka told hem leaning back.

Ami clears her throat, "Well, it's small enough so we should presume that a child could have been inside."

"I felt …violence from it." Endymion said, " like a war of some kind and great sadness." His voice trails off as a sudden flash came to him.

It was like he was the person inside of the pod beating at it but the voice was that of a child screaming out for their mother and father.

His whole body shakes and convulses as he had a sudden flash of being catapulted into the space alone and scared…then the gas the freezing…and..

"Mamo-chan!" Serenity's voice cut through his mind and he slowly opens them.

"Usako…?" he whispers his voice hoarse. What had happened?

"Mamoru…what did you see?" Rei looks worriedly from him to the others.

He took a steadying breath, taking a sip of water that Hotaru brought and tried to think clearly. "it…it was a child…inside the pod…" He looks at them, "she's here somewhere…"

"Who is?" Michiru asked looking at him, "where can we find her?"

"I don't know…"

"Alazar…." A laborious voice whispers, "Alazar…. bring the crystals…. we need them."

The man stood before the darkness, peering through it. " We must find the girl." He replied, "She is the key…"

"Yes….yes…bring the girl…"

He nods and disappears. Maybe they could bring it all back, with the key.

Looking down at the pod that was connected to the ground he stares at the face of his beloved. "Soon, you will wake, my love."
