Alternate time
Hotaru walks down the corridors of the old high school on her way to see Trista and sees people carrying boxes and some have rifles slung over their shoulders when she bumps into Mara.
"Hey Hotaru, where are you going?"
"Trista wanted to see me about something." Hotaru replied before she leaves and goes to see Trista, when she gets there she finds Trista worrying over something.
"You wanted to see me?"
"Yes Hotaru, I'm sending you back to the past to bring the senshi here." Trista replied before she transformed into her senshi form and takes Hotaru to the time gates "you'll find them at the shrine."
"Okay." Hotaru said before she walks through the time gates and ends up at the shrine, inside the senshi sit around doing nothing when Mirai Hotaru walks in and the senshi turn round to look at her.
"Hey Hotaru." Raye said.
"Hey, something's going down in my time… maybe another war. So Trista sent me to bring you with me."
"Why didn't she send Adam?" Ami asked before going back to her book that she was reading.
"Umm, he's kinda busy at the moment." Mirai Hotaru replied whilst scratching the back of her head "when do we leave?" Serena asked making the senshi look at her.
"What?" Serena asked.
"Nothing, it's just that you're never this… eager?" Raye replied as Trista appears and looks at the senshi especially Mirai Hotaru with elbow length hair tied back and takes them to the time gates.
"Say hello to myself into the other time." Trista said before they walk through the gates and end up in the alternate timeline.
"Welcome to my world, follow me." Mirai Hotaru said and they follow her and the senshi notice destroyed buildings and craters "all this from the war?" Lita asked.
"Yeah, the war ended four years ago… we're just starting to rebuild."
They follow Mirai Hotaru to the school to find it's become fortified and the senshi stop and star at the people walk up and down the walls armed with rifles before they carry on walking. When they get to the school itself the senshi see part of it in ruins and people rebuilding it and they go inside to see people moving boxes of ammunition amongst the boxes being moved.
"Some people haven't got used to four years of peace."
They carry on talking as they walk to the hall and they walk in and see Trista along with Mara, Mia, Reiko and Amelia standing around.
"Where's Adam?" Mina asked and Trista and the others look at each other.
"You haven't been told?" Reiko replied.
"Told what?"
"Adam left four years ago when word reached here that the war was still going on somewhere… he left with fifteen others." Mara replied before Mina looked at Mirai Hotaru "look, I'm sorry." Came the reply from Mirai Hotaru.
Flashback - four years ago
Hotaru watches as Adam loads his equipment into the back of a truck.
"Why are you going?" Hotaru asked making Adam stop what he's doing.
"I'll never get used to this peace."
"Our wars over." Hotaru replied.
"Look, fighting's all I've known, wherever there's a war. You'll find me."
"HEY ADAM! We leaving now?" Someone shouted before Adam jumped in the back and banged on the floor and the truck drives off.
"WE'LL BE BACK! I PROMISE!" Adam shouted whilst waving back at Hotaru.
End flashback
"We haven't seen him since." Amelia replied.
The doors open to reveal some others all armed with rifles and side arms and brief introductions are made when one of them notices Serena.
"What's she doing here? I thought we locked her up after the battle of Tokyo."
"This Serenity is from a different time, they're here because I asked them to." Trista replied to the question.
"Excuse me, but what's going on?" Mina asked.
"Another war has begun, this times Adam's not around to help."
"What do we do then?" Hotaru asked.
"Fort up, we still have all our stuff from the Serenity war…"
"You are suggesting that this crumbling old school be turned into a fort!" Lita shouted making everyone look at her.
"Yes."
"Trista, you've heard of the battle of The Alamo." Michelle said slightly worried.
"Yes Michelle, I saw the battle first hand."
Everyone leaves except Trista, he children of the senshi and the senshi "if you're going to stay here, you're going to have to learn to shoot."
"Shoot, as in guns?" Serena replied as the senshi look at each other.
"Yes, it's kill or be killed in this time." Trista replied "but first get to know your family."
"What about me and Serena?" Mina asked as the senshi leave with their daughters "I'll show you were Adam lived."
Mina, Serena and Trista leave and go to Adam's room and go in. The first thing they see is Adam's sword leant against a wall and the dates of combat carved into the wall and they see some photo's and Mina picks them up and goes through them until she comes to a picture of Adam, Ricky and Yuki before she turns the photo over and looks at the names and date on the back.
"He blames himself for their deaths." Trista said before she leaves Mina and Serena alone, elsewhere the senshi spend time with their families.
Later
Mirai Hotaru stands behind the senshi except Hotaru all armed with rifles "alright, those rifles are armed and dangerous… the targets will pop up, shoot them and they'll fall down." Mirai Hotaru said as the senshi wait for the targets to pop up, when they do they open fire and the targets drop down and so on.
"OKAY, CEASE FIRE!"
They stop and Mirai Hotaru walks down to the targets to check them and finds perfect headshots before she goes back and hands out some wooden bayonets.
"What are these?" Michelle asked.
"Wooden bayonets."
Mirai Hotaru attaches the wooden knife as Reiko arrives with her rifle and a wooden bayonet attached "sorry I'm late." Reiko said.
"It's okay." Came the reply before Reiko charges and got her bayonet blocked and Mirai Hotaru pretends to stab Reiko in the heart.
"Now you lot try."
Two hours later they stop and go back to the school and see people building a palisade halfway around the school.
"Looks like word got out." Reiko said to Mirai Hotaru "Yeah came her reply before they go their separate ways. Trista bumps into Mirai Hotaru.
"How did they do?"
"Pretty damn good." Came the reply.
"You miss him, don't you?" Trista asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about." With that said Mirai Hotaru leaves and goes up to the roof and sits down before she breaks down into tears, meanwhile Mara talks to Reiko.
"You really think this old school could withstand a siege?"
"Not really, I wish Adam were here." Mara said.
"We all do, but he's a soldier. He could never get used to the peace." Reiko said before they go their separate ways meanwhile Mia and Amelia were working on the palisade are helping to move a field gun into position whilst a firing step was being made.
"Do you think he's still alive?" Amelia asked.
"I don't know."
They continue on working until it gets dark, they stop what they're doing and go inside before going their separate ways. Outside the ghosts of the senshi appear.
"Looks like our alternate selves are here." Lita said.
"I can't believe that he's gone."
"He'll be back someday." Ami replied.
"He's a decent kid." Amara said.
"I can see why Hotaru likes him."
"But she's always denied it." Raye replied before they walk around the newly created palisade when Ricky and Yuki appear.
"Sorry we're late." Ricky said.
"It's okay, I need you to find Adam and tell him what's going on." Mina said before Ricky disappears and the ghosts of the senshi and Yuki walk around the defences. "This school won't last long in a siege." Lita said.
"Look, we've all watched their progress over the years." Raye said as Ricky reappears.
"Told him and his hairs gone all white." He replied.
"WHAT?" Mina shouted.
"Said it happened three years ago."
The ghosts of the senshi and Yuki disappear leaving Ricky alone and he wonders around the defences "it's gonna happen all over again." He muttered to himself noticing the similarities between here and where he died before he disappears.
Authors note: This is a complete rewrite of what was going to happen… I'm having a moral dilemma at the moment… whether to kill Adam off or not… anyway R&R.
