"HE'S AWAKE?" several voices exclaimed loudly.
Usagi shrank back from her eight friends and the Three Lights. Only Haruka and Michiru hadn't joined in the exclamation. "He's been conscious for a few weeks now. The doctors are all amazed at how fast he's healing."
"It's possible his…uniqueness has something to do with that," Michiru said. "Look at how fast Haruka is healing."
The blonde in question patted the splints she wore. "Thank god. I was ready to rip that cast off."
"If you had ripped the cast off you would have been in deep trouble," Michiru said in a serious tone.
Haruka bowed her head. "I know…that's why I didn't…"
Michiru smiled and rested her head against Haruka's shoulder. "We need to find Ja'aku's base and put a stop to him. Sam said that four of her friends from the States have disappeared," Makoto said.
"Where do we start looking though?" Rei asked, leaning back against her bed.
"We make Akuma show us," a voice said.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING OUT OF BED? WHY AREN'T YOU IN THE HOSPITAL?" Usagi bellowed as Kael eased himself down onto the floor.
"Forget those questions, how is it that you're completely healed?" Ami demanded in amazement.
"That would partially be my fault," Sam said.
"I'm confused," Usagi said.
"Nothing new there," Rei smirked. Makoto held Usagi back while Minako and Ami held Rei back.
Kael shook his head in amusement. "I had them move me to my place two weeks ago. Told them I had a room set up for people who needed the medical help."
"That still doesn't explain how you were able to heal so quickly," Haruka pointed out, a bit upset she was still the gimp of the group.
He held up the tri-crescent moon pendant. "This mixed with some special tears helped the healing process," he said.
"Lucky," Haruka muttered.
"He's not completely healed," Sam interjected. "He's still very sore and bruised and will not be participating in any lone fights," she said in a stern voice, glaring at Kael.
"What happened?" Michiru asked.
"Ran into an old…friend on the way here," Kael said.
"Akuma?" Haruka asked.
Sam nodded. "Akuma's getting desperate. Apparently he hasn't gotten a pure soul yet," she said.
"Good for us," Hotaru said.
Sam nodded absently. "Worried about your friends?" Seiya asked.
"I have no clue as to whether or not they've had their Soul Spheres stolen or if they're Soul Phages," she said.
"It's possible they're being used as bait," Makoto said.
"It's possible," Sam agreed.

Kael stood in the middle of Sam's backyard, the cooling air swirling around his bared chest. A blindfold was over his eyes and a sword was in his hand. He suddenly dove out of the way as a blindfolded Sam slashed at him. He reversed his momentum and went backwards as a blindfolded Haruka stabbed at him.
He rose to his feet, the dirt cool against his skin. He suddenly blocked several attacks made by Haruka and Sam and danced around them, sweat glistening on his skin. They continued their offensive. Kael suddenly dove forward and stabbed his sword into the ground. He then struck the two on the back, just hard enough to make them stagger forward a step.
Michiru and the others watched as the three trained. "Why is Haruka training with Kael and Sam again?" Yaten asked.
"As she says, it's because she's part Guardian," Michiru answered.
"Their skills are amazing," Makoto said, Ami's head on her shoulder.
"Will it be enough though?" Minako asked. "I mean, Phoenix sealed him away but he got loose. Will all of us be strong enough together?"
"Of course we will," Usagi declared. "United nothing can stop us."
"That's why Akuma was counting on the Division Bell," Setsuna said. "It would have divided us."
"Uh…guys?" Ami said. She pointed out to the field and they saw a dark shape shimmering into view.
Sam recognized the shape but stood her ground. Akuma appeared before them and grinned. "Surrender Phoenix," he growled.
"Why should I?" she demanded.
"Because if you don't, your four little friends from home will die," he sneered.
Sam's eyes grew cold. "I will see you dead," she said softly.
"I doubt it," he smirked.
"Phoenix Spirit Power! Make UP!" She leveled her sword at him. "Stay out of this all of you," she ordered.
"I'm not," Nightwolf said. "He and I have our own score to settle."
"I can take you both on," he challenged.
Nightwolf pulled his katana out. "Then let's dance," he said. Haruka backed away. A black sword appeared in the red haired man's hands and he swung it at the pair. The trio began fighting across the backyard, the other Senshi staying out of the fight. Sweat formed on Phoenix's head but she ignored it.
Akuma suddenly and violently slammed his fist into Nightwolf's left leg. The Guardian collapsed to the ground, but not before dragging Akuma down with him. The larger man got up and threw his hand out at Phoenix. Powder flew from his hands into her eyes. She cursed and tried to rub it out. She blinked several times but could only make out blurry shapes.
Akuma smirked and viciously punched her. She fell to the ground and grunted in pain as Akuma kicked her in the stomach. "Focus!" she heard Nightwolf snapped in her mind. "Use your other senses!" Phoenix pushed the memories from her training sessions with Kael to the side and cleared her mind.
Akuma grinned and began bringing his sword down to cleave off Phoenix's head. She suddenly rolled forward and to her feet, sword raised. The Senshi watched in amazement as she parried and countered each of Akuma's attacks. He suddenly charged in with a wild yell and grunted, coming to a stop. Phoenix pushed her sword further into Akuma's stomach before kicking him off. He fell to the ground, dead.
"Nicely done," Kael said, hauling himself to his feet.
"I had a good teacher," Sam said. "But we're still at square one as to where their hideout is," she said.
"Maybe. But Ja'aku's out of lieutenants. He'll show up soon enough. Then we'll kill him and save your friends," Kael said.

Ja'aku paced around the cavern he was in, glaring at his four unconscious prisoners. A smirk broke out on his face. "Soon…soon the Senshi will find their way here and their souls shall be mine." He let out a harsh laugh. "You were foolish to come here my brethren!" he shouted to the ceiling. "I am Lord of all! Including the Ori!" he laughed crazily.

Kael looked down at the pendant in his hand. A warm hand rested on his shoulder. He turned and smiled at his mother. "Queen Serenity," he greeted.
She smiled at her son. "You have grown up so much my son," she said. "I am so proud of you."
"Thank you. But that's not why you're here, is it?" he asked.
She shook her head. "Now that your father is dead, you are now the holder of the tri-crescent moon pendant."
He nodded. "I'll be careful with it," he said.
"That is not all my son," she said.
"It's not?" he asked.
"You are familiar with the Silver Crystal, right?"
He nodded. "It's the sacred crystal of our kingdom," he said. "What has that got to do with this pendant though?"
"Listen carefully my son. These two items when separate are incredibly powerful. But if one were to combine them…"
"The power would be great," Kael finished. "So what's the big deal?"
"When combined, the one who merged the powers of these two objects will suffer the consequences," she said.
"Consequences?" he repeated.
"It will kill the merger," she clarified.
"Has that power ever been used before?" he asked.
"Once, many years before even my time. A powerful group of enemies had emerged from the shadows, ultimate power already at their disposal. One of our ancestors merged the two together and aided another powerful group of beings at expelling the evil."
"So…never use this power unless it's absolutely necessary and there is no other choice," he said.
"Never use it," she said gravely. "I do not want to lose either of you." Kael nodded, staring at the pendant…
Kael jerked awake, the strange dream still floating in his mind. He ran a hand through his blonde hair and flopped back down on the bed, mulling the dream over in his mind. He put an arm behind his head and slowly fell back asleep.
