He pondered this long after the sun had set and the palace had grown quiet. 'So, Kritra has a brother…?' He looks at the glowing screen in front of him. "How did I not see it before?" He mutters as he starts typing on the keyboard. The sounds of the keys being pressed filled the room.
Endymion became engrossed with the information on the screen he didn't notice the door opening admitting two people in.
It wasn't until he leans back did he see his wife and their daughter. Both were in their nightgowns with robs and fuzzy slippers.
"Mamo-chan," Serenity began as she looks at him, "What are you doing up so late?"
He looks at them, "I could ask the same of you two." He countered, "I was looking up on Kritra's family."
"Oh?" Both of them went over to look at the screen. "What's so special about it?" Usa asked.
Endymion leans back again almost rocking in it. "Well, the maidens of the shrine in Elysian mentioned that Kritra and Elysion are apart of this Trine warriors. They were the first guardians of earth and are the last resort."
Usa frowns, "then where were they when Hotaru awakened?"
"I don't know."
"Well in any case," serenity says looking curiously at the picture of Kritra's parents. "What did you find out?"
Endymion taps the screen. "Kritra Lynnoya Montgomery, born…." He went on talking about her blood type, age, where she was born, what school she went to. It wasn't until he got to a part in the history that made him sit up straighter.
"The reports say, that Kritra, at the time, was about fifteen years old when her parent's mysteriously disappeared. With only her brother, Hakim Jamil Montgomery, were they handed over to their aunt, Rona Monroe."
He scrolls down a bit, "A few years later it seems they reported Hakim missing. The cops thought Kritra had something to do with it, but there was no evidence to prove it. Soon after that, Kritra seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth then."
Serenity thought about this. What had happened to Kritra's family? What was going on and how did it all connect?
"Is Elysion in bed?" Endymion's voice broke her thoughts like a pick in ice.
She looks at him considering, "I believe so." Looks at him, "Why wouldn't she be?"
He merely shrugs, "no reason."
During that time Usa had been quiet and then looks at her mother and father, "Papa, what does Kritra's brother look like?"
He clicked on a link and several pictures appear dating from his birth to his teen years. "What's the matter, Usa?" He glances at the pink haired girl.
Her crimson eyes widen as she stares at the picture of the man with dark eyes and light brown complexion. His hair was the strangest color she has ever seen on a person such as himself. White locks with two streaks of blue in the bangs. To anyone looking at him, he was a handsome youth.
Now Usa looks at him in a new light, "You said his name was Hakim Jamil right?" She looks at her parents, "I think…no I know he is the Jamil that attacks us with the shadow monsters."
Both adults looked from her to one another then back at the picture. It was true, the man looked exactly if not identical, like Jamil.
"Elysion's uncle is our enemy…."
"It's time, my dear sister, we will drive the moon monsters out of our homeland and take back the earth for those of earth." He looks at her dressed in light yet strong armor. "The Lady wishes us to attack now, while they are weak and think we have stopped."
"And what of I, Lord Jamil?" Lady Avon asked, "What shall I do?"
He looks at her; she was dressed in her normal custom a tight dress and cape. "You, you will stay here and monitor things. You can help us more here."
Lady Avon frowns almost angrily at him but bows her head in deference. "Yes master."
He looked to his sister who had dressed in a tight skinned black suit with black gloves and boots. She wore a fur-lined cloak with a halberd at her side.
"Ready, Kit?"
Testing her weapon a moment and stops and nods, "Yes, Jammy I'm ready."
He smiles at her, "Then let us part from this place and rid the earth of the moon scum." He stares at the earth, "and place your daughter on the throne as the true heir."
With that they disappeared, leaving Lady Avon to stare at the earth.
"I should be ruler…. not some snot nose kid…and Jamil my king…" She says to an empty room.
"We've called this meeting to see what we can do about the shadow demons." Serenity told them. "We must protect the Earth as best as we can."
They looked between each other then back at her. Elysion had not attended the meeting; instead she was off in her room, the last time they checked, with Terran.
"What do you mean Usagi?" Minako asked carefully, "I mean we are cut down and bereft of three of our powerful warriors."
"I know and I think…I think we should start searching for others like Kritra and Elysion. Those that are Trine warriors".
Hotaru looked surprised, "Why?"
"It would help our line of defense." Endymion said leaning back against the chair.
"And another thing," Usa spoke up, "we found that Jamil, our enemy, is also Kritra's brother and Elysion's uncle."
There was a very long silence that followed those announcements. It was as if the bomb had dropped on them.
"Does she know?" Makoto asked.
Serenity shook her head, "As far as I know, no. She doesn't know anything."
"Well then given that we should all- " Ami was cut off by the sound of loud warning bells.
Elysion looks up hearing the noise, "Lets go Terran." She says tiredly getting up. Unwillingly, they trooped out side and were shocked speechless.
The scene before them was as strange as the people that fought them. They were spread out, everyone was. From Mercury to Neo Moon and Cosmos were all fighting the shadow demons. Above them two figures were watching the scene. Elysion could barely make them out.
"Transform and help the others Elly." Terran told her.
She nods raising her hand high, "Terra Power, Transform!" The light from her ring glowed dimly twice before it wrapped her up in a golden green light. As rose petals faded away from her, she was transformed. Pulling out her sword, she charges into the battle swing it at any shadow monster that came to her. Finally she calls for her powers, "Lighting slash!"
Two monsters went down. Faintly she hears the others yelling, shouting screaming around her. Was this what the old warriors call battle frenzy? Mindless killing til only you're the only one standing?
Still she found herself hoarse and breathing heavily as she attacks a shadow demon from behind when he was trying to get to Neo moon. There were no time for thanks and other such things. They had to finish the battle.
They were all bruise, scrapped hurt and bleeding some where from the skirmishes.
Finally, the shadow demons disappeared. The battle frenzy came down to wariness as they looked up at the figures.
Both of them came down landing perfectly on the ground.
Neo Terra stared, her vision a little blurry due to having getting hit upside the head, but she stood with her battle weary companions waiting what they would say to them.
She felt a sudden pang as if she knew before looking who was there.
"Why have you attacked us?" Cosmos demanded, holding her dignity and grace, yet showing her displeasure towards them. "What is your reasoning for hurting my warriors?"
The female of the two walked towards them. A sudden gasp came from the others as they recognized whom it was. Behind her Jamil, clad in his light armor, followed with a smile on his face.
But it was Terra Warrior that said her name, "Kritra."
Kritra stood, almost defiantly so, with her head held high like she was the queen and they were but visiting her home. She did not speak or looked at her daughter as the other senshi had stolen a glance between the two.
"We attack to purge our earth of you, Invaders." Jamil announces as if it were obvious, "We want you off our land and home or we shall some The Lady to get you to leave for us."
Neo terra only stares at her mother with disbelief. "Mama…." She took a step towards her, "Why? I thought…" She seemed very confused as she looked from the woman towards the man. "Who…who is he to you?"
Cosmos watched the scene unfurl before her. Had she not known the truth she would have vainly hoped he, not her Mamo-chan, was Elysion's real father. Even after the DNA test she had held onto that vain hope.
"He is my brother, Elysion, your uncle." Kritra says softly. "You are the last of our line. Will you stand with the Trine Warriors, the true rulers and the children of Gaia."
She shook her looking almost devastated by this. "But…I…"
She almost looked like her world had shattered and she was no longer sure of anything.
'What should I do?' She seems to wail in her mind.
