"Prince Feldspar, where are you?" Queen Mica called to her son, as she gazed into her crystal at the battle scene.

"I am here, mother," said Feldspar as he materialized in front of his mother's throne. "What is your wish?" He laid his hand over his chest and bowed courteously, as did everyone who came into her presence without a death wish.

"Come here. Look into the crystal and tell me what it is you see," she beckoned with one almost clawed finger, and he stepped up to gaze into the crystal sphere.

"It appears to be one of the creatures you dispersed at an American football game. But I don't understand why you sent them. It seems as though they've just been sent to random places to."

"Enough! I can only tolerate so much of your insolence before I do something you'll regret. Now," the tone in her voice abruptly changed to an eerie calm, tell me what else you see."

He looked into the crystal once more at the chaos, and noticed what the creature was fighting. "But who could.it looks like a Sailor Scout, but how is that possible if they're all in Tokyo?"

"They're not all in Tokyo, Feldspar. There are other Sailor Scouts from outside this solar system, but only one other is here on earth. That is why I've been sending my grunts to your so-called 'random places.' To find her." she gestured toward the Sailor Scout battling her creature, "That is Sailor Antares. Now just watch for a moment." He obeyed, and within a few seconds, the beast was down.

Feldspar smirked, "hmm.most impressive!"

"Calm yourself," said Queen Mica in a smooth but sinister tone, "Why do you expect I've been searching for her for so long rather than concentrating all my time and energy on eliminating the ones who destroyed my cousin, Queen Beryl?"

"To finish her before she can stand in our way, my Queen?"

"No, you fool! The Sailor Scouts were not only a match for my cousin, but were able to defeat her. Each of them is the guardian of a planet, but Sailor Antares is different. I've been seeking her out because she is the guardian of an entire star system, and is therefore stronger than the Sailor Scouts. And I've been doing it this way so that I can collect more Stardust Energy in the meantime."

"I don't understand, my lady."

"Sailor Antares is stronger than all of the Sailor Scouts combined. If she has the power to defeat them, then she could be a marvelous asset to the Negaverse, don't you think, my son?"

"Yes. I understand now, mother."

"Then you know what you must do."

"Yes, my queen. My creatures will depart at once."

"No, Feldspar. Not your creatures. It's obvious from what I've seen in my crystal that they will be useless against her. Go yourself, and take with you your sister and your most trusted generals. They're much brighter, more capable if something goes wrong, and not to mention more subtle. I don't want the other Sailor Scouts ruining this. Do you understand?"

"Yes, mother. Between Chrysolite, Pyroxene, Zeolite, and myself, I can assure you that nothing will go wrong."

"Nothing had better, Feldspar. Or you know the penalty," she said warningly, brandishing her staff of souls in one hand. "You are dismissed."

"Thank you my Queen." He bowed again, and disappeared, immediately to begin his mission.
